Demands for Tyalgum road repairs after motorbike death       

The corner on Limpinwood Rd

“There is a plaque there for someone who died about five years but there was another one apparently before that so that’s at least three deaths on that corner. “There’s another weekend coming up and there will be another hundred bikes coming through there and any one of them could crash there as well without warning signs of the dangerous corner.” A Council spokesperson told the Weekly that Council Officers “are auditing this section of Limpinwood Road and will arrange additional warning signage as soon as practicable and review the need for any larger scale treatments that could be implemented to improve safety”. Mr Gardner was the second motorcyclist in a week to die in the area. On Wednesday morning, October 9, a rider passed away after his motorcycle crashed into a removalist truck in South Murwillumbah. Another motorcyclist died in a hit and run incident at Tumbulgum on Monday, September 2. In the wake of the deaths, Tweed/ Byron Police District Duty Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Matt Kehoe urged riders to “ ride to the conditions and your experience level”. “In the last week, two motorcyclists have died on Tweed/Byron roads, with another rider remaining in hospital,” Chief Insp Kehoe said. “These vehicles are high-powered and can be fatal. Please ride with caution, stick to the speed limit and monitor your conditions.”

Justine Elliot demands end to single-use plastic bags in NSW By Jo Kennedy LEGISLATION TO ban single-use plastic bags is scheduled for a final vote in the Lower House on Thursday, October 24 and Tweed MP Justine Elliot said it’s time NSW joined the rest of the country in banning the bags. “As a country, we once used four billion plastic bags every year, or 10 million every day,” Ms Elliot said. “Now, NSW is the only state left. We are dead last, and it’s gone on long enough. “Labor thinks this is incredibly important and it’s clear that Geoff Provest and his National Party mates

Jodi McKay joined Justine Elliot demanding a bag ban

are ignoring our community’s concerns when it comes to single-use plastic bags.” “Labor’s legislation to ban single use plastic bags in NSW passed through the upper house recently without the support of the Liberals or Nationals, so Geoff Provest voted against this, and

now it is scheduled for further debate (and vote) in the Lower House this week on Thursday.” NSW Labor Leader Jodi McKay recently made her first visit to the Tweed since becoming leader and called on Mr Provest and the state government to ban the bags. Three weeks ago, NSW Labor introduced a Bill to ban single-use plastic bags, for the third time. Labor’s Bill successfully passed in the Upper House by 18 votes to 16 with the Bill now coming up for its third reading in the lower house.

in recent times “but I’m told there has been more over the years on that corner”. Mr Guinea said after the first crash on Tuesday that he tried to contact council “half a dozen times” to request signage be put up but the line kept dropping out. “I also tried on the weekend when the emergency services were on the scene,” he said. “I spoke to a woman and said, I think we need to get Council out here with some signs to say there is a dangerous corner, so no one else gets killed but she said it wasn’t an emergency and I needed to call during business hours”. Mr Guinea said that there was “a dip near the corner that throws bikes off camber and they have to sit up, but you can’t take the corner unless you lean into it,” he told The Weekly. “Even in a car your car will bounce there sometimes. “It’s a sharp sort of corner but no worse than a lot but it’s the dip that’s causing the problem. “They need to put signage up straight away and then repair that dip.” Mr Guinea said he has lots of bike riders coming into his shop “and they just want to have a fun day”. “It’s not just the person who dies, it’s all the people they leave behind when they are just after a fun day,” he said. “I’ve been in the village when these accidents have happened, and it really gets the whole village down. “They just need to fix it.” David Cooke lives ten minutes from the corner and rides the road on his motorbike everyday. “What they need to do immediately is to get a warning sign up,” he said. “I spoke to an old guy that lives nearby and he said it happens all the time and he drives over with his first aid kit to help. “He was on the scene when the man died last week.” “Another man said he talked to council about putting signs up, but nothing was done.

By Jo Kennett LOCAL RESIDENTS have urged Council to do something about a corner on Limpinwood Road that saw two motorcycle accidents in four days last week, which left one man dead and another fighting for his life. A motorcyclist died following a crash at Tyalgum on Tuesday, October 15, the fifth serious bike accident in the area in the past seven weeks. 69-year-old Peter Gardner, the owner of Signarama in Burleigh Heads, was travelling south on Limpinwood Road around 12.45pm when he lost control and hit a tree. The Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter was sent to the scene but as the victim was being escorted to the helicopter he went into cardiac arrest. NSW Ambulance paramedics and the Helicopter Critical Care Medical Team stabilised Mr Gardner before he was flown, in a critical condition with multiple injuries, to the Gold Coast University Hospital. Mr Gardner died of his injuries in hospital on Wednesday night, October 16. Four days later another motorbike crashed on the same corner. A 59-year-old Queensland man was riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle south at around 11.50am Saturday, October 19, with his 57-year-old wife riding pillion. Police said that as he negotiated “a moderate descent and slight left-hand bend he lost control and collided heavily with a tree”. The man sustained critical head and facial injuries and was airlifted to the Gold Coast University Hospital where he remains in a critical condition. His wife sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was conveyed by road to the Tweed Heads Hospital for treatment. Investigations are continuing into the collision. The owner of Tyalgum General Store Steve Guinea said it was the third death

5G for Hospital Hill

Regarding the proposed upgrade of the cell phone tower on hospital hill to 5G. I moved to this town 20 years ago and have been diagnosed with a condition called electromagnetic sensitivity which has meant I have been unable to work. The condition has been caused by exposure to wi-fi and magnetic radiation from cell phone towers. Due to this condition a year ago I started researching for myself the dangers of electromagnetic radiation and 5G. I have found out that people in communities around the world are starting to wake up to the dangers of this technology which has not been proven safe and no insurance company is prepared to underwrite. This technology has presently been banned in many European cities. I am horrified to hear of Telstra’s proposal to upgrade the cell phone tower to 5G. A friend phoned Tweed Shire Council on Monday October 21 and asked if they were aware of the dangers of 5G radiation and they said they were not aware. Currumbin Valley Council recently voted to halt a similar proposed Telstra Tower after they received a petition with 1024 signatures. I am advising the people of Murwillumbah to have a night off from Netflix and to do your own research for the safety of yourself and your family. Look at the Facebook page, Stop 5G in Northern Rivers, or simply type into Youtube, The Dangers of 5G Radiation, for yourself. Sadly, these are dangerous times we are living in. John Smith, Murwillumbah

Response on Cr Owen

I feel the need to respond to Ron Erickson’s defense of Cr James Owen and broadcaster Alan Jones. (TVW 17/10). In the case of Cr Owen, I do respect the fact that he is prepared

to accept public office and all that this entails. However, I object to his repeated claims that progressive councillors are driven by “politics and ideology” whilst asking us to believe that he is not. I have written to him personally on this issue and have received no response. In the case of Alan Jones, one cannot defend the indefensible. He has been widely criticised as a commentator with low credibility on climate change issues. In his radio broadcasts, Jones uses an aggressive, misogynist and aggressive style that would be better suited to a Rugby Union change-room. He told the NZ PM “to put a sock in it”, associated himself with the “ditch the witch” campaign, suggested that Julia Gillard be “put out to sea in a chaff bag” and suggested that her father “died of shame”. When called to account on recent comments, that caused a mass walkout of sponsors from his radio station, Jones reluctantly offered a public apology and then went on the attack against other public figures. True to form, he has publicly verballed our (female) Tweed Mayor. Why would anyone without an ideological or political agenda invite such an individual to our region? Despite Ron Erickson’s wellintentioned “Good Bowling” signoff, I tend to avoid any pastime that involves an element of “bias” (LOL). Neville Jennings, Murwillumbah

Crystal Creek development

I would like to add some of my concerns around the Heart of Love Development Application. I share a boundary and a right of carriageway with the Heart of Love Centre (the right of carriageway is largely on my land). The first I heard of this development was when the Council wrote to me. The Heart of Love chose not to consult with me at all about this application before submitting it to Council. Mr. Gary Seaton (Chairman of the Heart Of Love Foundation) states they have reached out to neighbours to discuss their concerns: this happened after the DA was submitted and after Crystal Creek became a sea of protest signs. This is not a debate about the good works of the Heart of Love. If they undertake the activities outlined in their web site, it is good work indeed and I commend it. The issue is the unsuitability of the place they have chosen to conduct such a large and growing business. The scope of their new and expanding undertakings is not in keeping with the zone objective of maintaining the rural landscape character of the land. In addition

to the current wholesale nursery and two residences, the proposal adds hostel accommodation for 40 people (444msq floor area), a twostory hall seating 360 people, four administration offices and reception for the national head office (724msq floor area) on about 1.5 hectares of land available for development. There will be workshops for up to 50 people (from 7 am to 10 pm, 361 days a year), up to 40 accommodated guests, an unspecified number of volunteers, seven staff for Heart of Love related activities and four or five plant nursery staff and 360 attendees plus support staff at two annual events. How anyone could conclude this will not have a significant traffic or noise impact on our quiet valley, when it doubles the current population, is inconceivable. The Noise Report states that the current acoustic environment is dominated by natural sounds such as birds and insects and wind in trees and vegetation. Single event vehicle passby’s can be heard on occasions. That will definitely no longer be the case. The commissioned reports attached to the DA including: The Traffic Impact, Potable Water, Effluent Disposal, Waste and Bushfire Management Reports are flawed because they do not take into account the full operational parameters of how the site will be used nor the stated plans for expansion. Other reports attached to the DA including Noise and Biodiversity are underpinned with inaccurate or flawed assumptions. Mr Seaton suggests readers look through the consultant reports attached to the Application. I agree with that, but suggest you look holistically, with a clear and thorough eye. You may see what I believe is a significant lack of detail and a vast array of inconsistencies between documents. If you look across all the reports the numbers just do not add up. Bin Chaplin, Crystal Creek

Climate change

Koch Industries was founded in 1940 on an innovative method of refining crude oil. They are now involved in many things but remain in the oil business. Anyone can look up their history and activities, including their attempts to discredit climate science. One of the Koch beneficiaries is CO2coalition, the organisation Dr Allen associates himself with. To claim the Koch’s are not fossil fuel giants is like saying bakers don’t make bread. Dr Allen denies that heat stress and drought won’t prevent plants from benefiting from elevated CO2.

I suggest he takes a drive a couple of hours west. While he’s there he can discuss his claim that a warmer world is a wetter one. Global food production is indeed increasing, it needs to as we head towards probably unsustainable population levels. How long we can keep this up is the big question. I suggest Dr Allen refers to the FAO report, The Future of Food and Agriculture, particularly the section on the effects of climate change on crop yields, fish stocks and animal health. Dr Allen seems unaware that the PH scale like the Richter scale is logarithmic. So, a change or 0.1 is not trivial, it’s about 30%. The natural variability of 0.3 he mentions refers to coastal waters. The data for the open ocean shows unquestionably that the PH is going down. To claim scientists, have a vested interest in climate alarm is absurd. If they cast their ethics aside and published ‘no worries’ papers they’d be rolling in oil and coal money. The last five years have been the hottest on record, and this stupid planetary experiment is just getting started. Alan Watterson, Pottsville

Government scams

The desperation of the government and its scams to hold onto the seat of Tweed at the March State election continues to be exposed. The scam postcard delivered to our mailboxes claiming, “building our brand new hospital now” was three months prior to any approval for a new hospital, and the works that were in progress at the time have been confirmed by an esteemed Barrister as unlawful. It now appears the promise of free parking at the new Tweed Valley Hospital (TVH) is to be broken. Modification No.2 for the TVH Concept approval including the addition of a 10-storey car park is at zero cost indicating this will be a private car park with potentially big parking fees. Further, while the Stage 2 EIS withholds the Capital Investment Value (CIV) the application form reveals the CIV is $400m. The Concept approval documents has the CIV for the TVH Project at $472m, thus a shrinkage from the initial stated claim of $534m for the new TVH. Then there is the 2019-2020 NSW budget that allocated $97.4 for the “Tweed hospital and integrated Ambulatory Services”, but the government continues to splash a $582m figure around. So, the question is, to what extent is our new hospital to be a public/private affair which is now the trend of the government.

The Stage 2 documents certainly reveal the scam promise that hospital services would be retained at the Tweed Heads Hospital, i.e. ‘the future use of the Tweed Hospital site will be subject to separate consideration by Government. Initial assessment undertaken for the Gate 1 Business Case identified the site had significant value, a market appraisal of the potential sale value of the site, on the assumption that it can be rezoned for medium/high density residential use. ‘The relocation of the hospital frees up a significant parcel of land for alternative uses.’ Of serious concern also is the stated development of the TVH ‘supported by a network of community health facilities, and the ‘Murwillumbah District Hospital retains its current role.’ Unfortunately, the practice with the development of new regional hospitals, is that surrounding hospitals are closed down. The Cudgen State Significant Farmland was chosen, ruling out many other sites, claiming potential flooding as a reason. However, an assessment on the selected site shows that part of the hospital building is within a bushfire buffer zone. It is recommended a bushfire emergency and evacuation plan be developed. There are hundreds of pages of nearly 100 documents and revelations so far show many inconsistencies, conflicts and failure to properly meet conditions of approval. Lindy Smith,Tweed Heads

Crystal Creek response

I am writing in response to the recent article published in your paper (Oct 17) regarding the proposed development at Crystal Creek. In particular I wanted to address one of the points raised by Ms Tomas. I personally attended an event at the site and was extremely impressed with the genuine concern and care that was taken by the organisers to minimise, as much as possible, any inconvenience or disturbance to the surrounding neighbours. I was similarly impressed by their integrity, and that the welfare for others is paramount in all that they do. I am excited to see what this group will bring to the community and wish them every success in their development application.

Officer hospitalised, man on the loose, after day of high drama By Jo Kennett A POLICE officer hospitalised, multiple stolen cars, three crashes and two police pursuits. That’s the toll so far from a wild day in the Murwillumbah area that saw two police pursuits involving multiple police vehicles, a Polair helicopter and the police dog squad on Tuesday, October 22.

The stolen car crashed at Bray Park

It ended in a crash with a police car and a manhunt that went into the night at Commissioners Creek, with the wanted man still on the run. The drama began when a car was reported stolen in the early hours of Tuesday morning from Cabarita, though there have been reports a car may also have been stolen from Tweed Heads. The thieves entered the owner’s unit on Tweed Coast Rd, Cabarita, taking the car keys and a number of possessions. One of the occupants of the unit, who didn’t want to be named said CCTV footage shows the robbery took place between 4.16am and 4.21am. “We live on Tweed Coast Rd, in an upstairs unit and the car was parked on Tweed Coast Rd,” he said.

“They got the keys by climbing through a first-storey window. “They used an outside downstairs table to climb into my flatmate’s window.” The man said his flatmate was asleep in the room they climbed into. “They took some stuff from next to his bed; a wallet, phone, a bag and cash,” he said. “Then they went into the living room and got the car keys and also my partner’s passport, phone, and wallet. “The first thing we knew about it was when we woke up and realised the car was gone and everything had been stolen.” The car was found crashed in Bray Park, Murwillumbah early in the afternoon. Matt Garner was visiting his parents in Hope St, Bray Park when they heard sirens. “My first thought was an incident at the store or petrol station,” Mr Garner told The Weekly. “The sirens didn’t fade as they went past, so I went to the front of the house and looked down the street and saw the silver Hyundai Getz doing a three-point turn down the bottom of Hope St. “Then the driver jumped out and ran down towards Bray Park Store, and the car rolled down across Kyogle Road and hit the retaining wall. “Then the grey undercover 4WD came into the scene and they checked the car to find they (the occupants of the stolen Getz) had bolted. “Plenty of other police vehicles arrived, they went flying up Bellevue Ave to look for them.

“It was crazy, they could have killed someone in their getaway! “It’s such a busy section of Kyogle Road especially near the cutting between Hope St and Park Ave. “Lots of residents were out watching the commotion.” According to witnesses to the accident the vehicle hit a power pole in Hope St while being pursued by police, then the driver jumped out and ran, jumping the fence of a house on the corner near the pole. The car rolled back down the incline, spun around and crossed Kyogle Rd into the retaining embankment. The driver escaped on foot before allegedly stealing another car and driving at speed towards Uki. Witnesses say multiple police cars followed the sedan as it went flying along Kyogle Rd and through Uki around 2.30pm before turning down Doon Doon Rd towards Commissioners Creek. Stephanie Blackburn lives at the end of Commissioners Creek Rd and said the driver got to the end of the road and turned and had a head-on with a BMW police car. “Our driveway is 1km long and we are at the end of the road,” Ms Blackburn said. “It was just as the bus was due to be dropping my kids off from Uki Public School at around 3.30pm.” Ms Blackburn said she looked out her front window and saw four police officers running up her driveway. “They yelled out, “Man on the loose, lock up get inside, lock all your windows and doors and stay inside until we tell you otherwise,” Ms Blackburn told The Weekly.

The occupants ﬂed on foot after this car crash at Taylor’s Corner

“The man took off on foot up our driveway. “We have a lot of old shacks and he was supposedly running in between them and outrunning them. “It’s dense rainforest. “The dogs were checking our boats and cars and going all over the place and the helicopter was following the creek line for half an hour and then started doing loops over the house again, so I think he was running through the creeks.” Ms Blackburn said she thinks the helicopter lost him when he went into the dense undergrowth. “We could hear them saying they had lost the scent when he presumably went into the creek but they kept searching for hours,” she said. “He managed to escape the police dogs, about 50 police, and the helicopter. “The helicopter was circling our house for about three or four hours before it got low on fuel and left. “The police said he stole a car in Tweed Heads and other cars. “This was at 6pm and my mail lady who lives down the road had my kids because the busdriver didn’t know what to do with them.” Police released a statement on Tuesday evening saying a police

o p e rat i o n wa s u n d e r way i n Commissioners Creek. “About 1pm today, officers from Tweed/Byron Police District observed an alleged stolen silver Subaru Liberty on Kyogle Rd, Bray Park and activated their warning lights,” the police media statement said. “A pursuit was initiated before the vehicle was abandoned and the driver fled on foot. “A short time later, police observed an alleged stolen silver Hyundai i20 and initiated a pursuit. “The pursuit continued out of the Murwillumbah area and along Commissioner’s Creek Road, Doon Doon, before the Hyundai and the highway patrol vehicle collided. “The driver fled the scene on foot. “A senior constable has been taken to Tweed Heads Hospital for treatment. “Officers from Tweed/Byron Police District have established a perimeter, with assistance from the Police Dog Unit and Polair.” Inquiries are continuing. In an apparently unrelated incident, another car crashed into Mt St Patricks College teachers car at Taylor’s Corner near Murwillumbah Showground, with witnesses saying two people fled the scene into the showground, pursued by police.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Can I say in my will how I want to die? Assisted dying is the next big controversial topic that could come up for legislation in NSW, after Victoria became the first state in Australia to legalise it. The Victorian Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2017 came into effect on 19 June this year. Under this legislation, Victorians who are at the end of their life and suffering pain due to an incurable advanced disease or medical condition can now request access to voluntary assisted dying. The Victorian legislation provides a safe legal framework for people who are dying and suffering pain to choose the manner and timing of their death. They have to initiate the process themselves and pass strict eligibility criteria before being assessed by two medical practitioners to determine whether they fit the legal requirements. Joshua Crowther, an Accredited Specialist in Wills and Estates at Stacks Law Firm, says the legislation only applies to people who have lived in Victoria for at least 12 months. “There is no such law in NSW, and after the political battle over the abortion legislation, it is unlikely the government will want another battle on a moral issue. “Specialising in wills, I meet many people who want to know if they can put in their will that they don’t want medical help to keep them alive. “A will only operates upon death, so having such a clause in a will would be pointless. However, a person can sign an Enduring Power of Attorney which allows them to appoint somebody else – usually a spouse or adult child – to make decisions about finances on their behalf. “There is also an Enduring Guardian document, sometimes called a living will, which allows people to appoint somebody else to make decisions for them, for example, regarding health needs or going into a nursing home. “The document can have an ‘advanced care directive’ which stipulates a desire to turn off life support if a person has a terminal or irreversible illness, or is permanently unconscious, in a persistent vegetative state or so seriously ill there is no real chance of recovery without artificial life-sustaining measures. “The guardian has the authority to notify the medical practitioner of such a request, which increases chances of life support being turned off. It is not euthanasia, but it is the closest thing to it under NSW laws.” Mr Crowther says the main potential pitfall is the choice of person to act as guardian, and it would be wise to get legal advice before deciding.

POLICE BEAT

Murwillumbah drug bust A MAN has been charged with several drug offences after a police search of a Murwillumbah residence on Friday, October 18. Police said that at about 8.30am they executed a search warrant at a home on Riverview Street,

Murwillumbah where they spoke with a 32-year-old man. During the search, police allegedly located a n d s e i z e d c a n n ab i s, m e t hy l a m p h e t a m i n e , MDMA, cash, prescribed restricted substances and

items associated with the supply of prohibited drugs. The man was arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station where he was charged with two counts of supplying a prohibited drug greater than an indictable quantity, three counts of possessing a prohibited drug, two counts of possessing a prescribed restricted substance, and

one count of dealing with the proceeds of crime. The man was refused bail and ordered to appear in Tweed Heads Local Court on Saturday, October 19. Tweed Police said the Tweed/Byron Target Action Group investigation into the supply of prohibited drugs in the Murwillumbah area began in July this year. Investigations are ongoing.

Banora Point Crash THE VICTIM of a car crash at Banora Point on Saturday, October 19 had to be cut from the vehicle by emergency service workers. Tweed District Rescue and Fire and Rescue Banora Point were called to the scene of the accident at 9:43pm, after reports of a motor vehicle accident with people trapped on Darlington Drive. Emergency service workers said the accident occurred when a small hatchback veered onto the opposite side of the road and collided with a tree whilst travelling northbound. Tweed District Rescue VRA were first on the scene and set up to extricate the patient from the vehicle. Tweed Heads firefighters arrived shortly after, secured the patient and provided first aid until paramedics arrived.

Banora Point firefighters provided fire protection and assisted paramedics. With approval from Paramedics, the driver’s side and rear door were removed in order to access and remove the patient. The patient was successfully extricated and transported to hospital by NSW Ambulance.

Police respond to criticism following gel blaster arrest By Jo Kennett TWEED POLICE have responded to public criticism after a Casino man was charged with firearm possession after being pulled over at Sleepy Hollow on Wednesday, October 16. Police said they were notified after a motorist was reportedly seen pointing a firearm out the window of a vehicle on the M1. Highway Patrol officers stopped and searched a vehicle at the Sleepy Hollow rest stop. Officers allegedly located a prohibited ‘gel blaster’, and three boxes containing prohibited firearms in the boot. The passenger, a 30-year-old man, was arrested and taken to Byron Bay Police Station. Police allege the man was seen by motorists pointing the firearm out of the window. He was charged with four counts of possessing an unregistered, prohibited firearm and using an unregistered and prohibited firearm.

The man was granted strict conditional bail to appear at Byron Bay Local Court on Monday, November 11. In the wake of the arrest police issued the following statement saying gel blasters were classified as firearms and illegal to possess without a licence or permit with a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment for possessing a firearm without a licence or permit or 14 years if it is a pistol or prohibited firearm”. “Schedule 1 of the Firearms Act provides a list of what would be a Prohibited Firearm in New South Wales and include any firearm that substantially duplicates in appearance (regardless of calibre or manner of operation) the following: “Any machine gun, sub-machine-gun or other firearm capable of propelling projectiles in rapid succession during one pressure of the trigger. “Any self-loading centre-fire rifle of a kind that is designed or adapted for military purposes.

HOT WATER & GAS HEATING SPECIALISTS

“Any self-loading shotgun of a kind that is designed or adapted for military purposes. “All the “gel blasters” detected by police appeared the same as other firearms including semi-automatic pistols, sub-machine guns, military style firearms and long arms”. The post on the Tweed Police social media page was met with widespread condemnation, with some calling it more proof of a NSW ‘nanny state’. The police eventually responded with an explanation on the ban, saying that “people pointing a gel blaster at strangers or from a car in traffic causes fear and concern as they look like a real firearm, not a toy at a glance or first instance”.

Justine Elliot MP PETITION FOR MORE POLICE

The police numbers in our region have been slashed so severely that staffing levels are now in crisis. Geoff Provest and his NSW Liberal National Government are neglecting our area and refusing to provide the North Coast with enough police to keep our community safe. Our petition calls for increased police numbers for the North Coast and demands that the NSW Liberal National Government stop ignoring the safety concerns of local residents.

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

Last week we each used

189L a day

Save water now to delay restrictions

In brief ... Water in short supply despite rain The touch of rain last week provided little relief for the residents of Tyalgum who are facing water restrictions soon if significant falls are not received. The flow over the weir wall was at a trickle, slightly better than a fortnight ago. Water carting remains banned from both the Tyalgum and Uki supplies. All water customers are urged to save water now as the flows in our creeks and the level of Clarrie Hall Dam continue to fall. Tweed has a Target 160 litres per person per day but last week the average resident was using 189 litres a day (see the tally above which appears in the Tweed Link each week). To save water, start now by having shorter showers.

In brief ... Roadworks at Cudgen

Rivers in the Tweed, including the Rous and Tweed rivers, are an important aspect of life for the community.

Have your say on river management plan More than 35 submissions have been received to date regarding the Tweed River Estuary Management Plan, which gives recommendations for the future management of this important waterway for 10 years from 2020 to 2030. Council’s Waterways Program Leader Tom Alletson said the Tweed River is an important aspect of life in the Tweed and it’s important for anyone with an interest in the river to share their feedback. “There are 90 separate actions within the plan that address identified threats to the Tweed River estuary. Council is hoping people will take the time to read the plan or the summary, get a good understanding for what is proposed and share their thoughts with us,” Mr Alletson said. Some of the actions include plans to: • work with landholders to increase awareness of the impacts of both soil and river bank erosion • work with the sugar industry and floodplain landholders to reduce acid sulfate soil runoff • assess the vulnerability of Council assets to increasing tidal

inundation due to sea level rise • stabilise river bank erosion to improve fish habitat and protect the river’s visual character • undertake upper catchment riparian rehabilitation works, in particular fencing livestock out of waterways and revegetating banks with native species • reduce the effect of Waste Water Treatment Plant discharges on the estuary • raise the profile of the Aboriginal cultural heritage significance of the Tweed • start an education project to reduce boating impacts on seagrass beds • promote uses of the river that complement the existing character of various reaches. The community is invited to make a submission on the Tweed Estuary Management Plan until 31 October.

The importance of learning to swim from a young age

The benefits of learning to swim at an early age are many and varied.

The benefits of swimming are endless and aren’t just limited to the pool. Children who learn to swim at a young age reach many developmental milestones earlier than the norm. This includes literacy, numeracy, social and emotional measures as well as swimming abilities. The Tweed Regional Aquatic Centres are operated by Council and offer a range of swimming programs for the community, including Parent and Baby Classes for children from six months old. The classes are held Mondays to Saturdays from 8 to 11am during the school term at Murwillumbah, Kingscliff and Tweed Heads South. For more information phone (02) 6670 2750 or email trac@tweed.nsw.gov.au All facilities offer a range of programs, for the latest news and updates sign up to the newsletter at trac.tweed.nsw.gov.au/News

Work started last week on two permanent road entrances to the new Tweed Valley Hospital being constructed at Cudgen. The roadwork is being undertaken by contractor Lendlease. A slip lane entrance is being built off Cudgen Road and a new roundabout leg is being built at the intersection of Turnock Street and Cudgen Road. The roadworks are expected to be completed by Christmas.

In brief ... HSC best wishes Best of luck to all the students in the Tweed who are sitting their Higher School Certificate (HSC) exams. When considering their next step, students might like to consider a career in local government. There are many career paths – from apprenticeships, to planning, engineering, surveying, labouring and aquatic centre operators, just to name a few.

Pottsville roadworks done Council has successfully completed an ambitious roads program in south Pottsville on schedule, with the final line-marking tasks undertaken on Sunday 13 October. The aim was to get as many roads repaired and rehabilitated in the south Pottsville area as possible within a one-month work window which was opened by successful negotiations to relocate a resident with serious health concerns. “We had planned to fix Overall Street from Charles Street to Buckingham Drive but were able to extend the stabilisation about 60 metres north to Anne Street to repair several soft patches we identified while we were on site,” Manager Roads and Stormwater Danny Rose said. “While the extra work wasn’t planned, it made sense to get it done while we had the opportunity. “So, with the goodwill of residents and motorists, we actually did more works than planned and the roads in south Pottsville will remain in good shape for many years to come. “Personally I would like to acknowledge and thank our crews and contractors who worked from 7am to 5pm, seven days a week, to achieve this outcome for the community,” he said.

And the winner is ... Kingscliff Community Hall The Kingscliff Community Hall and Amenities project by local firm Aspect Architecture has won the Heritage Architecture Award in the 2019 NSW Country Division Award for Architectural Excellence. The award’s judging panel said the building was destined for demolition like many of its coastal cousins, however through a process of reduction and perforation the true beauty of this 1960s community hall and amenities building in Kingscliff has been revealed. Director – Aspect Architecture Matt Cooper said the initial singular building had been altered and extended several times. His firm’s response focused on revealing the original structure, resulting in the removal of all subsequent extensions and alterations. The stage was removed from the hall and new glass doors were added to the beachfront side of the building to create an opening for the breezes and views and to connect the front of the hall to the back of the hall. The design encourages pedestrian flow and use from the beach at the rear of the building, to the street at the front of the building.

“Throughout the design process, the use of specialist heritage consultant, Conrad Gargett Architects and heritage engineer Bligh Tanner Consulting Engineers, assisted our ability to update the building’s compliance with structural and construction codes while maintaining the integrity of the original building.” Mr Cooper said. Council’s Director Sustainable Communities and Environment Tracey Stinson said the building’s future was assured after the outcome of a heritage study indicated a high level of heritage value. “Aspect Architecture have created an accessible series of connected buildings, each with its own function. The newly-envisioned buildings provide a public use community hall, a visitor information centre, public facilities and a wonderfully updated facility to be enjoyed by the community. It really is a winner,” Ms Stinson said. The project also won the 2019 National Trust Heritage Award in the Built Heritage Category. To book a community hall visit tweed.bookable.net.au

Construction to replace a 70-metre section of the current retaining wall at the southern end of Mooball Creek, Pottsville will start soon. It will include a new log wall, drainage layer and stairs into the creek. The work will involve removal of the existing log retaining wall which has deteriorated over time and presents a risk to public safety in terms of its stability and potential for injury from splinters. Once the work is complete, it will ensure safe access for swimming and recreation. Work will start on 28 October and will take approximately four weeks, weather permitting. Access to the area directly adjacent to the work site will be limited during construction, including parking, access to the creek and park land at the location of the works. Access to the north and south of the work site via the beach access road will remain open.

NSW Government seeks hospital feedback The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment is calling for community feedback on plans to develop the new Tweed Valley Hospital at Cudgen. Tweed Valley Hospital Stage 2 includes the construction and operation of the main hospital building including expansion areas, support buildings, internal roads and car parking, external road infrastructure upgrades and site landscaping. The development proposal also seeks approval for the construction of a temporary Tweed Valley Skills Centre building to test and verify the design of key clinical spaces as well as providing access to construction training and jobs on the project. The Department is also seeking community feedback on Modification 2 of the concept proposal for the hospital development. Modification 2 to the concept proposal seeks to add new building envelopes for a multi-deck car park and temporary building and to increase the maximum permitted gross floor area to 65,050 square metres. The proposed changes also include a revised landscaping concept and relocation of the electrical switching station kiosk. Both exhibitions close on Friday 8 November 2019.

Minister under attack on hospital parking

Congratulations to Murwillumbah Public School who were presented with a highly commended award at NSW Parliament House last week as part of the Resilient Australia Awards. The School Captains along with staff travelled to Sydney for the special occasion. The Resilient Australia Awards is a national program celebrating sustainable initiatives, improving preparedness and resilience using a whole of community approach. Following ex-tropical cyclone Debbie in 2017, the Floodwatch Project was created by teachers at Murwillumbah Public School to address education outcomes and increase student resilience. Staff recognised the Tweed Valley is frequently inundated by floods and the project aimed to increase student awareness and learning of flooding. By partnering with the NSW State Emergency Service and drawing on their expertise, the stage three students were able to use technology to create mockup apps, websites and 3D models to develop solutions for their local flood risk. Through the process students have developed a greater understanding about floods and preparation and Twice week the selected 17 children have sharedathis knowledge with the wider community.

Maths Olympiad

Every year, schools from all over Australia, New Zealand and other neighbouring countries participate in the APSMO Maths Games and Maths Olympiad. 2019 was the ﬁrst year that Murwillumbah Public School has entered the competition. The Maths Olympiad was used as an extension program for children that have a talent in the ﬁeld of Mathematics. Children were nominated based on data gathered during our school assessment, NAPLAN results, and classwork and teacher nominations.

Climate Emergency!

Minister Hazzard at the hospital site earlier this year

Tweed Geoff Provest’s pitch to voters in this year’s NSW state election campaign. “Health workers are concerned that parking at the new hospital will attract the same fees that have been applied to other regional hospital such as Gosford, where non-concessional visitors are charged $6.70 after just 15 minutes, and a five-hour stay costs $19.90,” Ms Hayes said in a press release. “People elected Mr Provest and the National Party on the understanding that they wouldn’t have to pay for parking at the new Tweed Hospital. “Now, however, it seems that Mr Provest and the Nationals are crab walking away from their commitment. “Free means free, one hundred per cent of the time. “Mr Provest needs to confirm that he stands by his promise, and that he will deliver it in full, without conditions or excuses.” Mr Hayes said the HSU will be campaigning in the local community to ensure Tweed residents received the free hospital parking they were promised. “Inevitably paid parking will see people looking for free or cheaper alternatives, such as on-street parking in local streets,” he said. “Local residents should not have to compete for a parking spot outside their own home.” The Weekly has contacted Mr Provest for a response but he was unavailable to comment.

OUTSTANDING SUCCESS!

By Jo Kennedy LISMORE MP Janelle Saffin has questioned NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard in the NSW parliament on Thursday, October 17, over parking at the new Tweed Valley Hospital but the minister had little to say on the matter. It led Ms Saffin to declare the government was “on the brink of introducing paid parking at Tweed Hospital, “breaking a central election promise it made to the people of Tweed barely six months ago”. “He didn’t say anything. “He didn’t answer the question and the question was, will there be paid parking or not,” Ms Saffin told The Weekly. “I was following up given it was an election promise to have non-paid parking. “Geoff Provest had a go at me for bringing it up in parliament. “He said I should be ashamed of bringing it up, but it was his election promise. “It was quite bizarre really, especially given that people in my electorate use The Tweed Hospital now and will continue to use the new one when it is built.” Ms Saffin said parking fees at The Tweed Valley Hospital “will put more pressure on people who need to access health services”. “It will be harder for families to visit their sick loved ones,” she said. “This is just so mean-spirited and out of touch from a Sydney-centric Government that doesn’t care about the everyday troubles and struggles we face.” Richmond MP Justine Elliot joined in the condemnation of the government. “This a complete betrayal of locals, Ms Elliot said. “Geoff Provest and the Nationals have once again lied to us, this time about free parking at the hospital.” Health Services Union (HSU) NSW Secretary Gerard Hayes said the free parking pledge was an important part of Member for

Fencing and trees removed at Crystal Creek property adjoining development site By Jo Kennett A CRYSTAL CREEK man said he was shocked to return from holidays to find fencing and trees had been removed from his property by the owners of the adjoining property, which has a development application with Council. Geoff Benson has a property adjoining 102 Crooks Valley Road, owned by the Heart of Love Foundation (HOLF), and said he returned on Monday, September 23, to find 40 metres of fence and fullygrown trees had been removed from their property without permission. “We drove in and saw that the fence had been removed which, according to the DA’s own survey, was two metres inside our boundary,” Mr Benson said. “Those trees were an effective screen for their buildings and wholesale nursery and we can now see directly into their property. “The DA survey and aerial photograph indicates there were five mature trees, about 7 metres tall and about 7 meters wide, and they were not identified for removal.” Mr Benson said the trees approved for removal on the HOLF property still had the stumps there, “but our tree stumps have been ground out and covered over with dirt”. “Their new DA has a driveway going right along the boundary with a retaining wall which cuts into our property and it would be difficult to put a driveway through there with the trees there,” he said. “HOLF specifies in their DA that they would put a 5-metre vegetation barrier around the property for screening.

“As you can see from the photo, they have taken out a visual screen where there was one, which goes against their own stated objectives to Council.” Mr Benson said the fence had been replaced with temporary posts with red and white striped tape between them. “Given that HOLF had the Survey Report for the DA, I cannot understand how this could have been a mistake,” he said. ‘I am five years into a revegetation and regeneration program which includes the area adjacent to the HOLFs entire 300 metres southern boundary. “The removal of adult trees is a massive loss.” Mr Benson said that the HOLF land was not a koala corridor, “but there is koala habitat and a corridor on neighbouring land”. “My revegetation plans include planting many koala food trees to extend the corridor. “The noise and light of the development will scare koalas away.” He said the community had acted in good faith with the HOLF but had been left disappointed. “In February 2019, the HOLF approached us for consent to a DA (17/0904) for a small farm stay which we agreed to in good faith,” Mr Benson told The Weekly. “It included significant work on the shared driveway on our land to meet bushfire regulations and was approved on May 7, 2019. “The current and much larger DA (19/0619) was signed off by Mr Seaton (Chairman HOLF) on April 10, 2019. “The documents attached to the new DA clearly show they were

well advanced in their plans for this current major development proposal, but they mentioned nothing about this larger DA when seeking our consent for the Farm Stay DA. “Given those timelines we believe the HOLF deliberately withheld disclosing their larger plans to us so they could get approval to upgrade the shared carriage way, clearing the way for them to put in the new DA without needing our consent. “If you look at the date on the reports, they were in the middle of preparing the current DA while they were asking us to sign off on the farm stay DA.” Mr Benson said when the HOLF bought the property in 2017, “they were extended a level of goodwill from the local community”. “Over the intervening two and a half years they have basically destroyed any goodwill and trust” he said. “The events of the last few weeks were the straw that broke the camel’s back. “With reluctance we felt compelled to ask the HOLF to stop using our land for parking their vehicles, to consult with us about the rebuilding of the fence and to remove a 20,000 litre water tank on our land that the HOLF had been using for their plant nursery needs.” Mr Benson said staff at the wholesale plant nursery on the HOLF property had been using his land for parking. “The nursery is an existing, successful business that will stay there but is rarely mentioned in the DA regarding its impact on traffic, effluent, water, parking etc,” he said.

The area where the trees and fence were removed

“At the time of the unapproved 300 people multi-day event they had in September 2017, the HOLF wrote a “Letter of Intent” to Tweed Council which included a map showing 12 disabled car parks and the emergency evacuation spot on our land. “They didn’t consult us or seek our consent. “It would seem Tweed Council were not aware that we had not consented to the use of our land.” Mr Benson said that at the time of that event the HOLF erected large signs on his property “and they were using our land for car parking.’’ “I instructed them to not use my property and they complied,” he said. “The photos for the Festival of Light in their newsletter, detailing the event, which was called an inauguration of their Ashram, clearly show photos taken at the site, so there is no mistaking this is the site they were referring to.” Mr Benson said, “it was incongruous when Gary Seaton said he had reached out to neighbours”. “His request for communication with neighbours only occurred after the DA was lodged and protest signs

had been erected all around Crystal Creek,” he said. “It’s really up to Council now but I believe that many of the reports that HOLF commissioned lack consistency across their operational parameters for the proposed development, for example the wholesale nursery is largely omitted. “In last week’s Tweed Valley Weekly Mr Seaton highlighted the HOLF’s plans for expansion of the community programs and the importance of their extensive network of volunteers yet there is scant documented detail of these in the DA.” Mr Benson said he had no objection to the HOLF building a facility to conduct their community work “but this quiet rural site is not appropriate and is an over development of the small property”. Mr Seaton said in response, “To our knowledge we have not removed any trees from our neighbour’s properties.” “Any trees that have been removed from our property was in compliance with Tweed Shire Council approval with conditions of consent for Development Application, DA17/0904 (this DA has already been conditionally approved).”

Pensioner claims unfair eviction

A 71 YEAR old pensioner, whose lease has not been renewed on her retirement unit, has contacted The Weekly claiming she is being evicted due to speaking out about issues with her unit at the Seventh Day Adventist Aged Care at Banks Avenue in Tweed Heads. The pensioner, who wishes to remain anonymous, was visibly upset during the interview. “I am a 71 year old pensioner who moved into a retirement village as a renter twelve months ago on November 19 last year,” she said. “I moved in there because I don’t have any family and I thought as I got older at least I’d be safe and I was under the impression that I would be there for life. “Two weeks ago I was given a termination of tenancy and I received legal advise that it could be viewed as a retaliatory eviction.” The pensioner claimed that she had been unable to sleep due to soundproofing issues and that she had suffered bullying as a result of her complaints. “I have not had one night’s undisturbed sleep in the time I’ve been there,” she said. “It’s not soundproofed and you can hear people talking in their sleep, that’s how unsoundproof it is. “Because I’ve tried to get some help for other people who are too frightened to speak out it’s like I’ve been victimised.” The resident was told during a mediation on October 27 that she had until the December 6 to vacate her unit. “When I first moved in I questioned the six month lease and their words were, ‘don’t worry you’re here for life,’ so this has given me a terrible shock. “What scares me is I used the last of my finances to get in there.” “I’ve been on the housing list for seventeen years, this is how bad the housing situation is for needy people, and there are a lot more needy people than me.”

A representative of the Northern Rivers Community Legal Centre said the resident’s situation was not a one-off. “Evictions like this are a big issue for us as there is a loophole in the law in NSW. “Landlords can take their tenants to tribunal if they think they are in breach of their lease but some landlords use the ‘No Grounds Notices’ to try and evict tenants who are simply trying to have their rights upheld. “In this case, this tenant was trying to address issues with the property she was renting that the landlord didn’t want to address. “She’s in a particularly bad situation as she is elderly and rental housing is scarce and often unaffordable in this area, so she has applied to the Tribunal to say the eviction notice is retaliatory.” A spokesman for Adventist Senior Living (ASL) said due to the matter currently being with the Tenancy Tribunal that it was not appropriate for them to comment on the retaliatory eviction issue. He was however able to comment on the soundproofing matter. “I am not aware of any other resident making such complaints,” he said. “Further, I understand that the previous tenant in the unit did not raise any such issue with the site manager. “Adventist Senior Living only took over the management of the Tweed Heads Village in June this year. “There are 41 units in the complex and only four are leased. “The other 37 units are owner occupied. “This resident was a tenant under the previous owners since November 2018 and when ASL took over, we chose to extend her lease by a further 6 months. “At the time she accepted the six month lease, she did not suggest she was entitled to a longer tenancy. “She has been provided with 60 days notice to vacate the unit. ASL was only required to provide 30 days notice.”

New coastal management plan to include Fingal River feedback wanted By Jo Kennett RESIDENTS CONCERNED about erosion north of Fingal Head have been told by Council that a new Coastal Management Program (CMP) for the Tweed Coast will include Letitia Spit. Robert Budd and Vilia Hendry recently met with Tweed Shire Council Advisory Committee representative for the Tweed Sand Bypass project, Jane Lofthouse, to discuss their concerns. “The meeting went well but I expected it to because we have a good relationship with Jane,” Mr Budd said. “She said they are going to expand and have one CMP to cover the whole Tweed Coast including Fingal, the Tweed River and Duranbah. “Council has, in the past, seen Crown Lands as being in charge but under the directive of the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project management, who are Crown Land employees.” Mr Budd said that in the past the concerns of local residents about erosion north of the headland were not addressed and they hoped to see that changed. “We are hosting the sand pumping jetty and Tweed Shire Council is too and they need to treat our concerns a lot more seriously than they have in the past,” he said. “We gave that message to Geoff Provest to take to Crown Lands and I think he took that on. “He mentioned that they are moving towards a CMP. “The Coastal Management Act requires councils to do a CMP, but Fingal was totally left out of that; it only went as far as Fingal headland.” Mr and Mrs Budd and Ms Hendry also met with Tweed Sand Bypassing Project senior manager Brendan Logan.

“Brendan works for Crown Lands on Coastal Management Programs and he said he could help out with a CMP,” Mr Budd said. “After we met with Jane, Larry Woodland (the Fingal community representative on the Sand Bypassing Project) and Brendan met with Jane and Larry said the meeting went well and indicated Crown Lands might help with funding for the CMP. “Geoff (Provest) also said he could help with funding. “Originally we were told by Council that it could take three years to do a CMP but Jane said they would try to fast track it. Ms Hendry said they had been able to get the government stakeholders to agree to implement an independent review of the operations of the sand pumping jetty. “Geoff took that idea on board and Jane and Brendan agreed,” Ms Hendry said. “The sand pumping jetty people will provide all the data and we believe there may also be some money for engineers to find a solution. “They have also agreed to a community engagement process. Mr Budd said it was good news as the Tweed Shire Council “certainly wouldn’t have the resources to do it”. “The community engagement process is always difficult if the community isn’t part of the process of finding a solution,” he said. Mr Budd said there had been “a real imbalance of power” in the project in the past. “The boardriders on the north side have a lot of say on where the sand goes and the dynamics of how it works have been very one-sided towards Qld,” he said.

Robert Budd, Phil Minkie and Vilia Hendry at Fingal

“They have Rabbit Bartholomew (Snapper Rocks Surfriders Club) and Peter Turner, who used to be a Council and developer and is very involved with Kirra Boardriders so who do you think will have the most power? “They have Qld representatives and Gold Coast Council representatives as well. “We want to change that power imbalance, so we are being listened to in the same way.” Mr Budd said he thought it was important for all the stakeholders to participate. “They actually have a lot of data on this (Fingal Head) beach, they have done a lot of surveys,” he said. “There are some really bright people working on it so they can tap into that resource. ‘We’re hoping things will start happening in the New Year. “All the signals are very positive.” Ms Lofthouse said, “Council is developing one CMP for the Tweed open coast from Point Danger to Wooyung including the three coastal estuaries. “The CMP for the Tweed River estuary is currently on public exhibition,” she said. “The current estimation is for the CMP to be completed by June 2021.”

By Jo Kennett TWEED SHIRE Council is asking residents to have their say on “this important waterway” before the end of October. M 35 submissions have already been received from the public about the Tweed River Estuary Management Plan which is currently on public exhibition. The plan provides recommendations for the future management of this important waterway (a 35-kilometre stretch between the Bray Park Weir at Murwillumbah and the river mouth at Tweed Heads), from 2020 - 2030. Council’s Waterways Program Leader, Tom Alletson said the Tweed River is an important aspect of life in the Tweed and it is important for anyone with an interest in the river to share their feedback. Some of the actions include plans to: • Work with landholders to increase awareness of the impacts of both soil and river bank erosion • Work with the sugar industry and floodplain landholders to reduce acid sulfate soil runoff • Assess the vulnerability of Council assets to increasing tidal inundation due to sea level rise • Stabilise riverbank erosion to improve fish habitat and protect the river’s visual character • Undertake upper catchment riparian rehabilitation works, in particular fencing livestock out of waterways and revegetating banks with native species • Reduce the effect of Wastewater Treatment Plant discharges on the estuary • Raise the profile of the Aboriginal cultural heritage significance of the Tweed • Start an education project to reduce boating impacts on seagrass beds • Promote uses of the river that complement the existing character of various reaches The Tweed Estuary Management Plan is part of Council’s commitment to protecting and enhancing the Tweed’s internationally significant environment. The community is invited to make a submission on the Tweed Estuary Management Plan until 31 October. Copies of the plan are available at Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah Council offices and libraries.

Did they ever know that they’re our Heroes? By Megan Albany CONDONG SCHOOL P&C is looking for sponsors for a charity day to recognise the work of volunteers with the Condong Rural Fire Brigade and Condong SES. The School’s Orange Day will take place on November 8 commencing at 11.30am and will include a ceremony to honour their local heroes. “They give so much to the community so the point of the day is to give them the honour and the respect they deserve because of their commitment to the community,” said P&C representative Georgie Dee. “Of course, the “ Orange Day “ is because of the colour of their uniforms. “We are not just recognising them because of what they do but because they have that heart’s desire to give service to the community and that is so overlooked. “We’re giving each of them little pocket cards that say ‘you’re our hero’, and we want to say to them, that if they are ever having a bad day to tuck that card into their pockets and say to themselves, ‘I know I’m OK because I am somebody’s hero’. “When people are putting themselves on the line like the SES and the RFS I don’t think we can tell them enough that we value what they do but also that we value who they are in wanting to do it. “I think that’s really, really important, so I hope some sponsors out there will agree with me.” Ms Dee said they are looking for sponsors to cover the costs of printing of individual certificates for the SES & Rural Fire Service members as well as the cost of fundraising activities including meat and bread for the BBQ, cakes for the cake and produce stall and donations

for raffle prizes to help raise money for both organisations. “We would love to be able to present both the SES & Rural Fire Service with a reasonable donation that shows them how much we value their service to the community. “We would like to be able to help with the equipment costs for both groups. “We look at a lot of these volunteers and see them as everyday people but these people have hero hearts and we want to acknowledge that.” The Orange Day is also aimed at teaching valuable life lessons to students at the school. “We thought it would be nice for the kids to learn about leadership in their community and that you don’t have to be

rich to be influential, just look at what these volunteers are doing," she said. “My mum used to do a lot of community fundraising so I learnt the value of that as a kid, so I guess learning to do things for others is part of it too. “Our grade six students will be presenting the awards as the leaders in the school, so they are doing something special. “Condong luckily hasn’t been affected by the fires but we see the heartache on TV,” Ms Dee said. Ms Dee said she is particularly aware of the sacrifice that members of the SES and Rural Fire Service make, after having grown up in a small town which experienced its own share of fires. “I grew up in far north Queensland and back then they had no equipment except the fire truck, and I remember my dad coming home with bits burnt off his hat and a black face and bloodshot eyes, so it’s easy for me to relate to. “When the siren went off all the men in the town would head down there in their overalls and hats and take their own blankets and extinguishers. “It was actually quite upsetting as a kid, even though my dad would joke about how the fire had gotten a bit hungry and eaten his hat. “My dad was a returned serviceman who won the military medal in New Guinea when a grenade was thrown into his camp, he threw his knapsack on that and then threw himself on it. “He was like our volunteers here, he was a man with a hero’s heart. “I guess that’s why I relate to what we’ve seen with the recent fires.” To donate to the Orange Day or for more information about Orange Day call Georgie Dee on 0403 518 060 or Condong Public School Principal, Brendan Quinn on 02 6672 2390.

In praise of the orchid

BIRTH OF THE BAB

Celebration: Sunday 27th October, 3pm DST Banora Point Community Centre, Woodlands Drive

Some of the beautiful orchids that will be on display at the Tweed District Orchid Society Fair

By Megan Albany

Born in Persia in 1819, the Bab was a prophetic figure who revitalized religious teachings, calling for spiritual and moral renewal. He gained thousands of followers before being put to death in 1850. The Bab’s mission was to prepare the way for Baha’u’llah, the prophet and founder of the Baha’i Faith.

Everyone is invited to join in. For more information visit www.bahai.org email tweed@nsw.bahai.org.au

83016

In 2017 the Tweed Baha’i Community joined world wide celebrations of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Baha’u’llah and this year celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the Bab.

FROM THEIR humble beginnings in 1954, when they held their first Orchid Show and Fair on Main Street Murwillumbah, the Tweed District Orchid Society has grown to be one of the most successful Orchid Society’s in the region. This year marks the 25th anniversay of the show which is now one of the largest events of its kind. “We now hold three shows a year, two at Murwillumbah and by far the largest is our Orchid Show & Fair at Tweed,” Tweed District Orchid Society Show Co-ordinator Robyn Ehlert said. Ms Ehlert said the show, which takes place at the Tweed Civic Centre on Saturday, November 2, from 8.30am to 4pm until Sunday November 3 from 8.30 til 2pm, attracts visitors from far and wide. “People come to visit this show because of its great diversity in orchids, showcasing the diversity of species, form colour, perfume and overall beauty of these magnificent plants,” Ms Ehlert said. “We have 17 specialist vendors selling orchids, African violets, bromeliads, ferns and rhododendrons. “Our vendors travel from all over Queensland and NSW to attend this show and we also now have a vendor from Thailand,” Ms Ehlert said.

“They sell rare and newly developed orchids as well as all the commonly known and loved orchids. “We also have a Paphiopedilum specialist who comes from South Australia each year. The fully judged show also allows members of the society, who dedicate hours of their time to the art of growing orchids, to receive recognition for all their hard work. “It allows our members to showcase their talents in the beautiful orchids they bench for these shows,” Ms Ehlert said “We exhibit in both novice and experienced growers sections. “The display consists of both hybrid and species orchids.” “The judged show has monetary prizes for champions in each section and for the reserve and grand champions.” Like all gardeners however, Ms Ehlert said orchid growers are passionate to share why they love their plants so much. “Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the beauty of these magnificent plants and learn why growing them is such a pleasure,” she said. “We have experienced members on hand to help you and the professional vendors are experts who are always happy to help.” The Orchid Show & Fair takes place at the Tweed Civic Centre, Cnr. Wharf and Brett Streets, Tweed Heads. Admission is $3. Bus trips catered for, contact Robyn on 0438582890 for further information.

Using Facebook for business may seem difficult, but with the right strategies, Facebook is one of the best tools for targeting a specific audience through paid campaigns that can be location targeted. One of the services we provide is training for businesses to maximize their Facebook campaigns. We provide a genuine opportunity to get the inside track on how to succeed with Facebook by teaching people how to successfully implement a campaign. What they learn is how we do it – what a professional marketing agency does to generate success for their clients, what you specifically should be doing, and how to do it. Our Facebook training is a face to face course offered over 1, 2 or 3 days with additional days available, for up to three people. The subjects covered, how much time is spent on each and how in depth we go is entirely subjective dependent on your business needs.

Training is carried out either at the business location or oﬀsite and exposes people to a decade’s worth of knowledge and experience. Here’s what one of our client’s Howard Dennerstein from the Local Business Directory had to say about the traing he did with Explosion Marketing. “I have recently engaged Nyrie Roos from Explosion Marketing and all I can say is WOW!, she just made it all so easy for me and converted “tech talk” into plain English that I could understand. I needed training and implementation in Social Media Marketing and the time spent with Nyrie has not only improved the performance of my business but also gave me far more conﬁdence in what I am doing.” If you are looking for the latest “ahead of the curve” strategies to unlock the treasure chest of growth for your business, then contact us and let’s talk about what we can do to help you and your team.

By Megan Albany IF YOU’VE been wanting to get around to composting then now might be a good time to start, according to Murwillumbah’s own royal highness, The Compost Queen. HRH, who describes herself as a ‘pink greenie’, will be running a free, fun, interactive composting workshop for children at the Murwillumbah Community Gardens in Mooball Street Murwillumbah on Sunday October 27 at 11am. “If every suburban garden made compost instead of sending food waste to landfill, the reduction in methane from landfill would be greater than if we killed all the cows producing methane on farmland,” the Compost Queen said. “So composting is a climate change initiative.” The goal of the workshop is to inspire young children to learn how to make healthy soil so they can learn early in life how to grow delicious, nutritious food. “It’s essentially directed at kids from about three and a half years old to six, the reason being that brain research has shown if you teach children something once at that age, they will remember it forever. “My mission is to use the children to teach everybody how important it is to grow healthy food.” While Community Gardens are often in cities where people living in apartments don’t have access to gardens, the Compost Queen still believes there is a place for them in regions such as the Tweed, despite the fact that many people may already have a garden of their own. “Even in small towns there are people who are disconnected from each other and a community garden is for everyone, it’s a connecting place. “There is a lot of research about how good it is for your mental health to have your hands in the soil and to be part of the cycle of growth.” For those new to the joys of composting, the Queen had this advice for royal subjects unsure of what to throw into the mix. “The easy rule is that everything that used to be living can go in the compost,” her majesty said. If you want to have compost that’s fit for a queen however, there are a few extra rules to keep in mind. “Coffee makes the compost quite acidic so if you have an acidic soil it’s not a great thing. “If however you have a very alkaline soil it really doesn’t matter how much tea or coffee you put into your compost.

Earthbagging workshop in Murwillumbah

Release your creativity and learn all about earthbagging Have you ever wanted to know what Earthbagging was all about? Earthbag (a type of flexible-form Rammed Earth, also known as Superadobe/Hiperadobe) is a form of Natural Building that, according to Community Gardens volunteer Barry Firth, is incredibly simple to learn. “We’re running a workshop for people to learn how to build structures from rammed earth using earthbagging,” Mr Firth said. “We will be using earth packed into onion bags and covering that over with more earth and in the end you finish up with structures that can be very decorative, so we’re a bit excited about it. “It’s been used in community gardens elsewhere and we’re very lucky because Rebecca Whan who runs these workshops is living in Murwillumbah now.” Ms Whan has been teaching earthbag and natural building techniques in Australia and Latin America for ten years. The workshop will cover the basics of earthen construction and natural clay plasters and will result in the construction of a permanent earthbag border wall which will form part of a contemplation area in the Murwillumbah Community Garden. The workshop runs over two days from 10am to 3pm, with the first day on Sunday, October 27 covering earth construction theory. Participants will also construct the first stage of an earthbag wall in the raw earth arch form. The second day of the workshop on Sunday November 3 covers natural renders theory and will involve the application of lime-stucco render to the earthbag wall. For more info on earthbagging visit www. auwaearth.com. Tickets cost $30 - $50 with discounts available for booking both days. Tickets available at www.trybooking. com/559743.

“Citrus, paw paw, onions and garlic are still ok to have in the compost but because we use all those things as antibacterial agents, they can kill off the microbes that we are trying to grow in compost so it’s not good to have a lot of them in your compost.” However, don’t worry if you are still overwhelmed by the idea of composting as there is an alternative solution for food scraps. “If you really haven’t got the time to muck around with compost, then just dig big holes in your garden and put the compost in there and cover it over and the worms will do the rest.”

By Jo Kennedy TWEED SHIRE Councillor James Owen has been elected unopposed as the new president of the Kingscliff and District Chamber of Commerce at the Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, October 15. Former Councillor Carolyn Byrne was voted in as Vice President and Rhi Brinsmead as Secretary. Cr Owen, who is the Marketing and Partnerships Manager for Tweed Seagulls Rugby League Football Club, said he is passionate about supporting businesses “to grow and thrive.’’ “I’m humbled to have been elected to this important role by my fellow committee members,” Mr Owen said. “The chamber has a key role to play in positioning Kingscliff as a great place to live, work, study, visit and play. “I want us to lift Kingscliff’s status as a destination for business and leisure, and position us as a thriving regional business hub with a strong focus on the benefits that population growth, a booming tourism industry, and the new Tweed Valley Hospital will bring to the Kingscliff economy. “My three key goals for the next 12 months are to grow our membership base, provide more networking opportunities for our members and run an engaging program of events.” Mr Owen said he wanted current and future members of the chamber to know that “we are there to support and advocate for them to help their businesses grow and succeed.’’ “One way I believe we can achieve these goals is by adopting more of a community focus and connecting with other community organisations such as surf clubs, volunteer groups, schools and the TAFE and local churches,” he said. “We also need to collaborate with and be a

strong advocate to all levels of government and peak bodies such as the NSW Business Chamber and groups like Regional Development Australia. He congratulated Ms Byrne on her appointment. “It’s fantastic to have former Tweed Shire Councillor and local solicitor, Carolyn Byrne as my deputy,” he said. “Carolyn is principle of National Seniors Lawyers and brings with her extensive business experience and local knowledge. “I’d like to thank my fellow committee members for putting their faith in me to lead the chamber for the year ahead. “I’d also like to pay tribute to outgoing Chamber President Mark Humphries for his tireless work and leadership over the past three years and wish him good luck in his future endeavours. “He will remain on the committee and continue to contribute to the business chamber.” Other executive members are Mark Humphries, Brad Butson, Nerida Dean, Barrie Green, Tim Jack Adams, Paul McMahon, Don Neale and Peter Sibilant.

Uki once again extends hand of friendship By Megan Albany

ON 14 October Uki Refugee Project delivered two car loads of food and grocery items and over $1,000 in supermarket gift cards to the Romero Centre. The Romero Centre provides and connects asylum seekers living in Brisbane with practical support (like food and shelter), legal connections, English classes, medical care, trauma counselling and community connections. The Uki Refugee Project will once again be holding a Refugee Friendship Visit on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 November. The organisation has been welcoming refugees to the village since 2014. During the upcoming visit, guests will be housed at the Mt Warning Forest Hideaway Motel in Byrrill Creek as well as at private homes. The organisation is asking for assistance with a number of the weekend’s activities

including the welcome lunch on Saturday where they are asking for assistance in meal preparation. Bush band ‘Playing Possum’ will once again feature at the Bush Dance in the Uki Hall and locals are invited to bring a plate and to take this ‘relaxed’ opportunity to get to know the refugee visitors. On Sunday there will be a picnic at Ed Parker Rotary Park in Cudgen St Kingscliff from 11am til 3pm where a spokesperson from the organisation said the refugees will once again be cooking their famous kebabs. Picnickers should also bring salads, finger food, sweets and drinks to share. If you can help with the event or require more information contact Bryan at hbmcclelland@gmail.com or 0428177783.More information about the Romero Centre is at https://romero. mercycommunity.org.au/

Murwillumbah Show

2019

Woodchopping no longer just a man’s world “There is also a solid field expected in the Veterans section with competitors aged over 60 competing in the Bob Brims Memorial Chop. For Ms Edwards, it is the fulfilment of a dream she’s had since she was a child. “For years I used to watch the woodchopping with Dad, who is a life member of the Brunswick Heads crew, and I always asked if I could have a go,” Ms Edwards said. “It’s just always been something we’ve done and in March this year I started training with Jillian Tatton at Mudgreebra.” Ms Stratton, who has been a dominate force in the Australian Team will be sawing with Ms Edwards in competition for the first time, taking on the Open double Sawing handicap. “There weren’t too many people locally who could show me what to do. “Jillian Stratton has competed at the Brunswick woodchop for a lot of years and my Dad said to me if you’re going to ask anyone to mentor you ask Jillian because she’s the best.” Apart from competing in the sawing, Ms Edwards will also be going toe to toe with the men in the undercutting competition. “I’d always wanted to have a go at undercutting as I thought there has to be more to it than pulling a saw from end to end,” she said.

“There’s a huge sense of satisfaction you get when you complete a cookie, which is what they call it when you cut off the end of a log. “There’s a sense of gratification after that intense labour to get that end product. “It’s been a real mind game for me as you have to keep that ability to keep going even though every part of you wants to stop, it’s a bit of an addiction really,” she laughed. “It starts with just one wheel or one underhand and all of a sudden you’re hooked.” Ms Edwards said that while wielding a great big axe may look scary, she assures me that it’s not as dangerous as it looks. “Surprisingly it is the safest event to compete in, it’s safer than the sawing,” she said. “People often wonder why that’s the event the kids are doing and it’s because it is the safest one to do. “You have more control over your axe so the chance of injury is a lot less, as long as we wear the chain mail socks.” While it may now be the safest event, prior to chain mail being made compulsory, this was not always the case. “There has been the odd occasion where people have chopped their toes off,” she admits. “Gerald who is competing at the Murwillumbah show and holds two world titles, lost his left pinky

Madeleine Edwards competing in the Jack and Jill sawing event

and right pinky within six months of each other but he’s the world champion and he works at an incredible pace. “The chain mail only came in as a prerequisite at the Sydney Royal Show this year because of accidents like this, and last time I saw Gerald he was wearing the chain mail even though they are still not required at smaller shows.” Despite having only been training in this highly competitive sport for eight months, Ms Edwards said she is committed to going all the way to the top. “It’s one of the more challenging sports I’ve ever done,” she said. “Woodchopping and sawing also have a really good community aspect and at 29 I’m young for the sport which is refreshing. “My main goal is firstly to make it to the Australian women’s team. “Individually, I’d also like to compete in the Stihl Timbersports events, where eight women are selected to compete in the three

disciplines of underhand, stock saw, (single sawing) and chain saw. “Then of course there are the World Titles in Prague this year which showcases the elite of the elite of the sport. “That’s where everyone aims to go and I’ve got my sights set on it. “It will take a lot of training but I’ve been putting in the hard yards for it and I’d love to have the chance to be there one day.” In the meantime Ms Edwards is content to be inspiring the students in her class-room. “I think a lot of the kids and staff are coming down to see me compete and they are pretty excited, especially the girls. “They all think it’s pretty cool, and the parents are loving it too because it’s not every day they can say to their kids, ‘you’d better behave because you know what Ms Edwards can do’,” she laughed.

By Megan Albany THIS YEAR’S Murwillumbah Show on Friday November 1 and Saturday November 2, will once again feature the ever-popular Woodchopping Arena where traditionally, men with axes and saws compete to see who can fell trees the fastest. This year however, St Joseph’s Primary School teacher Madeleine Edwards will step up to the block during the woodchopping event on Saturday from 10am to 2pm to show the boys how it is done. “It’s predominately been a man’s world although women have traditionally participated in Jack and Jill sawing,” Ms Edwards said. “At the moment I predominately do the sawing as there are not a lot of events where women can do the underhand. “Men have that natural strength so they will be a lot stronger and quicker and do things easier than us. “At the moment I’ve been focusing on sawing but I will be participating in the underhand at the Murwillumbah show. “Most sessions are one or two underhand and then five or six sawing wheels.” This year axemen and women will compete against the current two times World Champion and Australian Champion underhand cutter, 25 year old Gerald Youles as well as ex-Australian champi-ons Chris Owen and Josh Adamson.

Your Local

What’s new at the Market

since last month’s Food Bowl? Their bronze medals for both their Mad Chilli Sauce and Tamarillo Jam is a credit to both their skills in growing the fresh produce and creativity as makers. Lyn and Tim have specialised in growing chillies and this is evident in the vast variety of unique chilli seedlings that they offer on their stall – seedling varieties that you are not likely to find anywhere else. And this is true for their medicinal herbs too. They offer varieties that are hard to find elsewhere at a price that is amazingly generous. Mad Mountain Farm is a family run farm located in the sub-tropical rainforest on Tomewin Mountain where they grow lots of fruit and vegies. They have a large greenhouse for preparing and nurturing their unusual collection of seedlings. They are a regular pop-up stall at the market, and

CONGRATULATIONS TO Lyn and Tim from Mad Mountain Family Farm who won three more awards at this year’s Sydney Royal Fine Food Show. This confirms what we already know - that they make amazingly delicious chutneys, jams and sauces. This year they won Silver for their Peri Peri Sauce and Bronze for both their Papaya Chutney and Flaming Hot Chilli Sauce. These wins bring their Sydney Fine Food Show medal count to six. Last year they won Silver for their Jeeves’ Tea – a delicious blend made with organic herbs grown, dried and packaged on their family farm. Jeeves’ Tea is a healing medicinal tea combining the rich flavours of ginger, turmeric and cranberry hibiscus with the soft tones of roses, catnip, oregano and calendula.

Event founder and Hearts Aflame Productions manager Solar Chapel spoke to The Weekly about his passion for dance and the respected dance event. “My parents are quite well renowned ballroom dance coaches in Australia and had a well known career and many years ago were finalists in the world championship,” Mr Chapel said. “Their previous dance studio was hired by the production team for the movie Strictly Ballroom, so dance was a world I was immersed in and grew up in. “When I moved to the Tweed I wanted to bring something extraordinary from a cultural point of view to the area so I decided to bring together what I know is some of the best dancing in Australia. “I founded the event nine years ago and it’s unique, in that these couples do not come together at any other time to perform in a concert style performance like this.

“They are doing this in between international competitions, so for them all to come together like this is a one off.” While Mr Chapel himself has spent most of his personal career in theatre he said he has always had a love of dance. “I think people love dance because it’s so alive,” he said. “It’s a whole body expression of musicality and people connect to it regardless of culture or language because it’s beyond language.” This year’s concert will feature couples and Mr Chapel said that finding a good partner can often make or break a dancer’s career. “In the world of dancing having the right partner is something that is a constant challenge that dancers are dealing with. “So many factors go into making a good dance partnership, it’s not just about the dancing, it’s about having the time and the availability to put into training, lessons and competitions. “Not all dance couples are in a relationship with each other, they are

often in a relationship with someone else who is not even a dancer. “Life can get in the way and take people in different directions. “Many brilliant dancers will go through a change of partners every year because of all those factors.” Despite this, the dancers featured at the Spectacular have all been dancing together for a longer time than the industry average. “Craig and Sriani are together personally as well as professionally and they have been dancing together for ten years which is a very long time. “Rhett and Emma Salmon are married and have been dancing together for about seven years. “Crawford and Monique have been dancing for a few years but they are not in a relationship.” Ap a r t f ro m t h e d a n c i n g , t h e Spectacular will also once again feature opera interludes. “We always have an opera singer perform which makes it a little bit of a variety night. “This year we have a new singer, Soprano Nina Wildman who recently won the prestigious Joan Sutherland Memorial Prize, she’ll be doing some featured numbers of both opera and some contemporary pieces throughout the show.” Dinner and Show packages are $95 for a two course pre show dinner at 6pm at Flutterbies Cottage Cafe. Show only tickets are $65, 8pm start. For inquiries contact 0488 713 241 or book online at www. heartsaflameproductions.com.

Vicky Hong’s life as a concert pianist By Megan Albany

VICKY HONG has been playing piano since the age of three and started performing when she was only thirteen years old. The concert pianist, who is set to perform on Sunday October 27 at 2.30 with the Northern Rivers Symphony O rc h e s t ra ’s Ro m a n t i c Landscapes program at the Tweed Civic Centre, recently looked back at her life dedicated to classical music. “When I was three years old, my dad discovered that I had “perfect pitch” which means I could tell any note just by listening to it,” Ms Hong said. “Mozart had it too; perfect pitch is supposed to be present in one in 20,000 people. “Consequently, my dad Vicky Hong will be performing her favourite Mozart concerto music to play on the spot. started teaching me piano. “Thankfully I was quick with sight reading, “As I became older I appreciated this ability even more because it helped to speed up my so I got to keep the job, and she let me play music learning ability and it increased my one to two nights each week. “That was also the beginning of my chamber musicality.” Ms Hong said she always enjoyed playing music career.” Ms Hong said she is looking forward to piano and that becoming a pianist was an obvious career choice. Growing up in performing one of her favourite Mozart pieces, China, she also had the opportunity to start his Piano Concerto No. 20 with the NRSO. “I always listen for the grace and drama in performing at the tender age of 13. “When I was in grade eight or nine, I wanted Mozart’s music.” “I won a Mozart competition performing to earn pocket money during summer holidays. “My classmate’s mother was a pianist and his D minor Concerto when I was studying piano teacher who also performed at a hotel at Queensland Conservatorium of Music. “It is one of my favourite concertos. lobby with a trio group.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MY MOTHER

The relationship between mother and son can be difficult at times, but it becomes really complicated when the son happens to be a filmmaker and the mother happens to be the subject of his documentary but doesn’t want to be on camera… The Disappearance of My Mother is a brilliant, award-winning documentary that after screening at festivals in Sydney and Brisbane will land in our town for one screening only, attended by the filmmaker himself who will introduce the film and participate in a Q&A. The subject of the film is Benedetta Barzini, an iconic fashion model in the 1960s - a muse for Warhol, Dali, Penn and Avendon among others - who later became a radical feminist and in the 1970s fought for the rights and emancipation of women and against the manipulating world of images, in the belief that ‘what truly matters is always invisible’ and that ‘the lens is the enemy’. She now teaches fashion students, training them not in sales or design but in decoding the fashion industry’s objectification of women. Her son has been filming her since he was a child, despite her resistance. In the age of Instagram, it may be hard for some to accept that others might treasure their privacy and loathe the camera. When at 75 years of age Benedetta decides to leave everything and everybody behind and disappear to a place as far as possible from the world she knows, her son decides to make a film not to celebrate her life but rather to witness her journey and keep her close for as long as possible. The making of the film turns into a battle of wills, harsh at times, funny at others, and in the process Benedetta and her son become accomplices in a game of cat and mouse that challenges us viewers to think about moral values, ideology, history, and the fear of losing forever what is bound to disappear.

RUSSELL HINTON 6PM DST

By Megan Albany WHEN LEO Sayer first hit the pop music charts in the seventies, little did he know he would still be on stage at age seventy and still be as passionate as ever about being the voice of his generation. The grammy-award winning, international chart topping songwriter, who penned the classic hits, When I Need You, You Make Me Feel Like Dancing, Thunder In My Heart, More Than I Can Say, Moonlighting, The Show Must Go On and One Man Band, will be performing at Twin Towns Tweed Heads on Sunday October 27 at 7pm. “I don’t think me or any of my contemporaries ever thought this thing of making records would last this long,” Mr Sayer said. “We were making pop singles that were the Zeitgeist of the time and artists like Pete Townsend were writing records like I hope I Die Before I’m Old. “Who would have thought fifty five years later that The Who would still be as massive as ever or that the way we made records would still be relevant so many years later. “We are the voice of our generation and I think that’s important and that’s why it gets such attention now. “We haven’t really seen a music business that has replaced us, it’s added to it but it definitely hasn’t replaced us. “We should be all old farts they don’t want to listen to anymore but we’re not so it’s extraordinary. “I guess we made good records so they stood the test of time.” Not content to rest on his lauryls however, Mr Sayer still continues to write new music and in March this year released yet another new album titled Selfie. “It’s called Selfie and I did it all myself,” Mr Sayer said. “I played everything, wrote it, produced it and arranged it. “Even though it was all played by one person, it isn’t a small unplugged sounding record, it still sounds big.” The album, released by UK label Demon Record, shows Sayer is still very much a one man band. While he may be a solo act when it comes to the recording studio, when it comes to his live performances, Mr Sayer said nothing beats a great live band. “When it comes to the live shows I’m just a singer in the band, I’m not the band leader,” he said. “I have a really tight band with Mark Kennedy on drums and Paul Berton on guitar and we have all been together for almost fifteen years so that’s a fantastic relationship. “We’ve also got Bill Risby who is a bit of a legend on keys, and I’ve been working with him for ten years and Mitch Cairns has been with us on bass for five years.” “These guys are fantastic musicians and so they are in demand everywhere so I wait until they’re available before I tour because I wouldn’t want to use any substitutes.” While a couple of songs from his new album will find their way into the sets for his upcoming shows at Tweed Heads, Mr Sayer admits that with a career spanning more than three decades, it can be hard to find room for new songs in a gig that showcases his entire body of work. “I’m writing my book at the moment and I discoved that by 1978 I’d already done over a thousand performances, so it’s been a busy life,” he laughed. “I’m currently writing about 1982 and I was thinking about how many songs I’ve added to the show since those days, as even back then I still had enough material to make up a one and a half hour show.”

While he certainly doesn’t need any new material, Mr Sayer said he will always continue to write. “It’s the best therapy; that’s why writers write,” he said. “I’m lucky in that I’ve been able to describe myself in my songs, not many writers do, but my songs are very autobiographical. “I’ve voiced everything, I’ve bared my soul and I’m proud of that. “I would hope that the search for anyone as a writer is always about becoming a better person rather than the much accepted norm of wanting to become rich and famous. “Fame and fortune will come to you if you’re good at your work.” Mr Sayer said these days his writing is about much more than purely entertaining an audience. “I feel more like an author than a songwriter and any author worth their salt would agree you want to have an effect, not just for your ego but to make a difference, that’s my job as a writer,” he said. “There’s always a job to do and a lot of the songs become political, they have a point to make, because as a songwriter you can voice what people can’t. “I have moved away from just writing love songs, let Beyonce and Ed Sheerhan have that market that’s fine thankyou, I’ve got more important things to write about. “On my new album I have a song called Refugees all about the atrocious way we treat foreigners that come to our shore. “I try to voice things to support people like Greta Thunberg, because there really is climate extinction in front of us if we’re not careful so all these things need to be voiced.” However don’t be fooled into thinking that Sayer is only preaching to his own generation. His concerts are known for attracting a wide range of ages, especially since his classic hit Thunder In My Heart had a dance remake in 2007. “Music and art is and always should be timeless, it should be outside of any classification or categorisation that says it must be young or must be old. “It should be able to leave the schedules of timekeeping behind. “It’s also a way of leaving racial differences, cultural differences and economic differences behind. “Music is not elitisit, the music we make in pop should be for everybody, that’s terribly important.” While Mr Sayer is aware that many of his contemporaries are retired, he said he is still grateful to be able to do what he loves and he has no plans of hanging up his microphone any time soon. “I’m glad to still be hungry and pushing it and wanting to do more things. “I’m 71 years old and I keep thinking to myself what are the next 71 years going to entail,” he laughed. “I still think I’m 25.” Tickets cost $55 for bookings visit https:// w w w.tw i ntow ns.com.au/events/leo sayer-2/

A ducky way to fundraise By Megan Albany THE ROTARY Club of Kingscliff’s annual Duck Race is on again on November 10. Festivities start at 9am at Cudgen Creek culminating with the release of up to 1000 plastic ducks at 11am. The first lucky duck to cross the line will win its owner $500. Corporate entrants will race fifty supersized ducks with the aim of taking out the prestigious Duck Of The Creek award which nets the winner a perpetual trophy to show-off in their business for twelve months. For ducks who are sick of being called Ugly Ducklings there is also the Best Dressed Duck Award where businesses can dress their ducks in corporate-themed costumes. Duck owners who have something to prove can enter the modified duck category by pimping their duck for a motorised race across the creek. The family friendly event has plenty for the kids with a crafty duck making stall and

The fun fundraiser also has a serious side with Rotary aiming to fund a community defibrillator project with the aim of delivering two of these lifesaving devices along the Tweed Coast. Community Ducks are $5 each and larger corporate ducks are $50 or $40 to recycle last year’s Big Duck.

Community comes together to talk about mental health

By Megan Albany URSULA WHARTON became passionate about speaking out about mental health after her 17-year-old son committed suicide. On October 30, from 5.30 til 7.30pm at Proudfoots Loading D o c k , 9 8 P ro u d fo o t s L a n e Murwillumbah, she will be helping to host a community conversation about the state of mental health in the Tweed. “We’ll be asking, what are we doing right, what are we doing wrong and how can we support each other better,” Ms Wharton said. “I lost my child Joshua two years ago to suicide, he was 17 and he had Autism Spectrum Disorder, so I advocated for him his whole life and once I lost him I advocated for suicide prevention. “We moved here a year ago now and I did QPR training through the Tweed Byron Suicide Prevention Project. “That training is all about Questioning, asking people what is going on for them, Persuading them to seek help and Referring them to the appropriate health organisations. “I spoke to Hannah from the suicide prevention project about how we, as a community, can let people know we care. “As I haven’t lived in this community all that long, I don’t have a great understanding of all the networks so because it is Mental Health Month I thought a community conversation could be a really good opportunity to

come together and get a fuller picture of what’s happening in our community.” Ms Wharton said the community conversation would allow locals to have their say on mental health services and resources that are currently available as well as projects that are currently under development. “It is really that concept of it takes a town, it’s about the community acting as a community and everybody from various elements with different perspectives on the issue coming together. “ I wo u l d l ove t o s e e G P s, teachers, teenagers,older people and Indigenous locals there, as well as people who have experienced mental illness or people who care for people with a mental illness. “I’d also like to see stakeholders there, but this is really a meeting for the community as I want the community to have power in this disucssion.” Unfortunately, according to Ms Wharton, there wasn’t the sort of support she is now trying to create, when her family needed it most. “ We l i v e d i n S o u t h E a s t Queensland and my son spent most of his life on the Gold Coast and being such a large transient city, you could walk through town and nobody seemed to care about you. “That’s one of the reasons we moved to Murwillumbah, we love being so much more connected to the people we’re living around. “My project is moving towards filling that gap that I know people like my son needed filled.”

Ms Wharton is currently a Volunteer Carer Representative with the Gold Coast Hospital where she is working on a new Crisis model as an alternative to the current Emergency Department model. “My son went to the Gold Coast hospital and waited for four hours and at the end of it he was told, ‘there is nothing we can do for you, see you later’ and that broke his faith that anyone could help him in the service,” she said. “ I b e l i e v e t h at s u i c i d e i s preventable, that’s not to say we can save every person every time and that may sound like an oxymoron but under the right conditions people can get through the crisis, survive and thrive; so we need to do what we can do to create the right conditions. “That means being able to recognise when someone in our community is having a hard time or even checking in with people who seem like everything is great, particularly if they have changed in some way. “A change in emotion can be an indicator whether they’ve become angrier or calmer or even seemingly happier. “We can defer to professionals such as psychologists but people can’t always wait until their appointment as their emotions happen when they happen. “We’ve got wonderful 24/7 call centres but there are a whole bunch of people in the community who will not, or cannot use these services.

Ursula Wharton is passionate about mental health

“Some people can’t reach out for help, they need people to reach in. “My boy was one of those, he was referred to Headspace but he wasn’t capable of using services where you have to ask and show up. “If you can walk in and see a face in the community that you know is ready to listen, that’s phenomenally better. “We need a critical mass of people trained up who know what to do and how to have challenging conversations as not all our support people will be available all the time. “We also need to relieve the pressure on carers as it takes a lot

of emotional energy to support somebody suffering a crisis. “I’ve been there with Josh, before we lost him we got through a lot, unfortunately in the end he didn’t have the circumstances to make it through that crisis.” For more information on the Community Conversation contact Ursula Wharton on 0404 832 889 or visit http://mentalhealthmonth. wayahead.org.au/event/ community-conversation.

Featured Business

Imagine getting to work with the designer of the Apple logo. That’s the everyday experience of his Australian business partner, and local featured business owner of the week, Joel Bohm. Joel grew up in Murwillumbah and started his career designing the local TV guide before becoming the lead artist at the Byron Shire Echo. He married local girl Suzy at Knox Park in 1994 before going on to launch several startup companies, all of which he eventually sold. In 2014 he and Suzy resettled to their home town of Murwillumbah with children Isabella and Sam. Joel and his partner Rob Janoff work on design projects around the world. Currently they are branding a dairy conglomerate in the UAE, rebranding one of Europe’s largest Salami manufacturers and have just completed branding one of China’s tallest towers in Chongqing. Find out more about the project at www.janoff.com.au/ sunac or visit their US site at www.robjanoff.com for information on Rob’s work with Apple. This year Joel also started Murwillumbah Signs, which proudly advertises in our Trades and Professional Services Directory. To find out more about working with Rob Janoff go to www.janoff. com.au/australia or to enquire about signs and stickers for your business, visit Joel’s new company www.murwillumbahsigns.com.au

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

By Rachael Lebeter LOCAL RESIDENTS are being urged to watch out for animals on the road, following a spate of native animals injured by car strikes. Rescuers and carers at Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers are asking people to please follow the speed limit and to call the 24-hour Hotline on (02) 66 724 789 if they see an injured animal or an animal on the road. Echidnas are especially at risk of car strikes. Over two-thirds of calls about echidnas this year have been animals hit by a car. Many Tweed Valley locals are surprised to find that echidnas are

common in built up and urban areas of the Tweed. They are frequently found on the road or at the side of the road. Recently, carers rescued a mother echidna and a puggle, a baby echidna, that had been hit by a car at Koala Beach. The puggle, which was being carried in its mother’s pouch, was thrown some distance. Although the mother echidna was recently released, due to its injuries the puggle did not make it through the night. The carer who looked after the pair said, “The injuries were bad enough, but to see the mother grieving for her baby was worse. “It was just heartbreaking.” Female echidnas lay just one egg a year. They carry the baby in a pouch for several weeks and when it becomes too big, the puggle is moved to a special burrow. The mother walls the puggle into the burrow,

returning every 4 to 5 days to feed it. The puggle stays in the burrow until it is big enough to dig its way out and become independent. While it is in the burrow, the baby echidna is completely dependent on its mother returning to feed it. For that reason, we are asking residents to be especially mindful of echidnas, in particular when driving. It is vital that echidnas are not coming into care at this time of year. From late October, female echidnas are likely to have a puggle in a burrow. Even a few days in care or at the wildlife hospital can mean the mother doesn’t make it back to her baby. One of TVWC’s echidna carers says, “If mum is injured or killed, the baby is going to die. “There’s nothing we can do because no one is going to know where the puggle is hidden. Even a couple of

days in hospital can mean a mother doesn’t make it back in time.” Hotspots to look out for echidnas include Koala Beach, Pottsville, Bogangar, Terranora, Banora Point and Bilambil Heights. They are usually active in the day, but may also become nocturnal to avoid hot weather. This means echidnas can be seen on our roads at any time of day or night and drivers are urged to use caution. As we come into the busy season, Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers is also looking for more rescuers, transporters and carers. If you would like to be involved, call the Hotline on (02) 66 724 789 to register for our upcoming Orientation Day on Sunday 3rd of November.

our new location since June 30th 2018. Inside you will find an information/reception area, cattery, pre loved clothing, FoP Pet Shop, offices and storage upstairs. It is a hive of activity with people coming and going. If you have notyet visited it is definitely worth a look, come and see us at U17/39-41 Corporation Circuit, Tweed Heads South. The Tweed Shire Pound is relocating! The impounding facility at Stotts Creek has now closed, but the impounding of dogs and cats has been relocated to a temporary interim facility in the Murwillumbah area. This facility is very temporary until work has been completed on a new facility located at North Tumbulgum. So you are thinking “what is happening to the animals?” The dogs and cats that find themselves in the temporary impounding facility complete their mandatory stay, seven days if they are not micro chipped and fourteen days if they are micro chipped. A large proportion of animals are reunited with their owners within hours, whereas some owners had not updated their contact details on their pets’ microchip making it harder for them to be reunited with their pet. If this is the case and after the prerequisite time in the

LETS’ TALK about Friends of the Pound. Over the past 20 years there have been many changes within the Friends of the Pound organisation. Friends of the Pound Volunteers were granted half a day access one day a week to the Tweed Shire Pound 20 years ago. Now, this current day, access is seven days per week, 365 days per year. Our volunteers will go daily to the temporary Impounding facility to care for and interact with the dogs and cats who are housed there. Fifteen years ago Friends of the Pound operated out of an information booth inside the then Petcare Super Store, now known as Petbarn (Tweed), we were there until 2017 when renovations were started and Friends of the Pound were on the move again, we then opened a pop-up-shop at The Pines, Elanora our stay was for two years until June 2019. In the meantime, Friends of the Pound were very fortunate to have received a large bequest from a very generous lady, the Committee and members thought it would be beneficial to invest the money from the bequest into property, giving ourselves a home base so that we could operate our head office from a building that was owned by Friends of the Pound. No more moving! We have been at

impounding facility the remaining animals become “owned” by Tweed Shire Council who then have these animals vet checked, vaccinated, wormed and treated for fleas, and lastly if needed, desexed before transferring them to Friends of the Pound (FoP) who will be responsible for their rehoming. All of the rehomeable dogs and cats will go into foster care where they will stay until rehomed. The rehoming process comprises of advertising in the local papers and the FoP and the Tweed Shire Councils websites and Facebook. We find that social media is a useful rehoming tool. In addition to social media we offer cats for sale inside our premises at South Tweed and three Petbarn stores plus our soon to be opened premise in Prospero Street South Murwillumbah making the adoption of a FoP cat a pleasurable experience. Friends of the Pound (Tweed) Inc. will be holding their Annual General Meeting at the Kingscliff Bowls Club, Marine Parade, Kingscliff on the 15th October, 2019 at 4.00 pm. We welcome all financial members who wish to attend and take part in the proceedings.

Holding Shot with Judy Tuckey two wins, 17-10 and 17-9 respectively, to make up the Tweed Byron District contingent to go forward. Come the Knockout rounds and David Sheather eliminated Brian Tabula to go forward to the Quarter Finals where he then defeated East Lismore’s Andrew Maslen. Club mate Scott Duncan eliminated South Lismore’s David Rogers before finding it necessary to forfeit his berth in the Semis due to unforeseen circumstances, leaving Sheather the only TBD member left standing. Ballina’s Michael Fallows was Sheather’s opposition in the final after winning his section, quarter final and semi-final. Whilst Sheather opened the card with a single, Fallows got cracking early to lead 5-1 after 6 ends.

STATE ROOKIES, Zone One Rookies, Qualifiers conducted at Ballina last week certainly delivered a weekend of top bowling entertainment courtesy of the 27 newer bowlers within Zone One who had entered the fray. Close scoring across the leader board during the sectional games was an indication of the commitment of these ‘newies’ to this great sport. Following on from Saturday’s section play Cabarita’s David Sheather, after winning his two games 17-13 and 17-10 respectively, progressed to the Knockout games on the Agenda for Sunday. Club mate Scott Duncan, who also had two wins of 17-15 in both his section games. Pottsville’s Brian Tabulo succeeded in obtaining

Sheather settled, retaliated to level the score on 6-6 by the tenth end. A flurry of alternative shots to each player saw the score level on 8-8 , 11-11 and 12-12 respectively on ends 13, 18 and 20, with Sheather holding a narrow lead prior to all levelling of scores. Sheather then lifted, collected a count of four with Fallows hitting back with a count of two. Sheather then, while holding shot in the head and the last bowl of the end in his hand, declared claiming victory and a berth at the State championships later this year. On a lighter note, some Mother do have ‘em. Observed at Rookies games on Sunday – two contestants using a bowls Lifter to measure to declare shot. When confronted by the umpire, the response went something like – “not measuring, just confirming who had shot”!!! Don’t ya just love it? See you in the greens. Good bowling everyone.

CASUARINA SURFER Zahli Kelly has increased her chance of qualifying for the 2020 Women’s World Championship Tour, with a win at the White Buffalo Pro in Japan. Kelly has now moved into 9th place and in the last spot for qualification, with 3,000 points from the win. With one major event, the Port Stephens Pro in November, which carries 6,000 points towards qualification for first place, but even a solid result will see the Tweed Coast girl join another Tweed Coast lass, Stephanie Gilmore on the elite women’s tour. Kelly has come a long way since she used to wear the surf helmet as a young girl, and being still a teenager, she will be looking to follow the footsteps of US surfer Caroline Marks who as a teenager has really rattled the experienced pro’s on tour. Also on Kelly’s side is that Carolyn Marks and Tatina Weston-Webb are double qualifying, so that, in reality, has her two further places closer towards qualifying for the tour. A good result at Port Stephens will mean she will get on the tour, and she will be a great addition, with plenty of the new school

moves to shake the cages of the more experienced older women on tour. The Port Stephens Pro is on from November 15-17. Lets hope we get another Tweed Coast Surfer on Tour!

Pottsville Surfer Tests Out Yeppon Wave Pool! Australian Adaptive Surfing Champion, Dale Taylor, has just returned from a real adventure at the new wave pool near Yeppoon in central Queensland. Along with World Adaptive Surfing Champion, Mark “Mono” Stewart, they got to test out the wave pool alongside surfing legends Occy and Barton Lynch. Dale was calling “Best day ever!”, and “This place is insane!” It was a top secret mission with no cameras, other than the official ones allowed. The “Surflakes” project is in development, it is freshwater, but Taylor reckons his boards go exactly the same and I reckon Pottsville’s oldest grommet would be still frothing even days later. He even got to have a few frosty ones with all the ex-pro’s, and I’m sure this will be one of the highlights of his surfing life. My only question is , Where is my invite?

Good Results for Tweed Coast Clubs at Straddie Assault Kingscliff and Cabarita Boardriders did not get the win, Burleigh Boardriders won the Teams Challenge, and Coffs Harbour won the Tag Team, but the locals performed really well in difficult conditions. Cabarita placed 5th overall in the tag team, Blake Nekka and Josh Fuller leading the charge for the Caba crew,. Kingscliff came in equal 7th, and Kingscliff well into the top 10 clubs with wins by Mitch James and Brad King. Conditions were very testing, and all the clubs had to make the best of what was on offer. Point Lookout had a red hot team including two former WCT surfers Bede Durbidge and Ethan Ewing, with Burleigh Boardriders having Jay “Bottle” Thompson and current QS number 13 Liam O’Brien in their ranks. It was the 36th year of the event, and once again an awesome weekend on the island.

In relays a Gold and a Silver. Team coach was Susan McCaughrie from Brunswick SLSC. This Saturday our Junior Club will host their 19th “Cudgen Classic”. Traditionally held on the last Saturday of October the Classic is an extended Iron Person race and is considered a premier race for hundreds of keen surf lifesavers. With the edition of a number of new events, Clubs travel from as far south as Sydney and as far from central Qld. Individual events are Iron Person, Surf Swim, Board Race and Beach

Sprints. Team events are U10 yr. “foamie” Board Challenge teams of three and U11-17 Cameron Relay teams of four, plus the fastest beach sprinter from each age group race off in the Cudgen Gift. All participants receive a Classic T-Shirt, gift pack and entry into prize draws. Start time is 8.30 am DST. In conjunction with the “Classic” the North Coast Surf Boat Carnival will be held on our beach for the first occasion in many seasons. An invitation has been extended to Qld.

Strong wind and choppy surf conditions at the Branch Carnival at Lennox Head last Sunday for the U12 yr. to Open Events. Competitor numbers for the Senior Events was poor, with many in the U19 in the middle of their HSC. Exams. Cudgen members won the majority of senior water events in individual and team. In the male, Scott McCartney, Cody Bell, Rory Matthews, Rory McPhail, Cooper Tate were impressive whilst Chloe Jones, Hayley Smith, Ginger Allen,

Maddi Jones, Sienna Lee and Elizabeth Warne impressed selection chances for the Inter-Branch Team to compete at Bulli on 7th – 8th December. In the U14’s Kloe Mills, Alexia Barnett, Zane Chisholm were prominent. The U12 to U14 have carnivals at Yamba on November 10 and Brunswick on 24 to press selection claims plus the ‘Classic’ this week whilst senior will relay on last season as the next carnival is at Cudgen on 1st December. We record the passing of Don ‘Bart’ Bartholomew at the age of 90 years. He was a long time Associate Member and supporter of the club. In October 1977, it was decided to purchase a beach patrol vehicle and he co-ordinated a project named Life Safe 6000 initiated through the Daily News.

The aim was to raise that amount by subscription to purchase it and an IRB. Service and Registered Clubs in the Tweed were canvassed and a 100 Club conducted and prior to New Year, Stage 1, the beach mobile was purchased. ‘Bart’ taught at Murwillumbah High School from 1949 to 1978 when he transferred to Tweed River High until retirement.

Junior triathletes off to Queensland State titles A GROUP of junior Tweed triathletes are off to the Sunshine Coast to compete in the Qld All Schools Triathlon and Aquathon on October 27. Tweed Valley Triathletes coach Brendan Murray said he has six athletes, aged from 9 - 14 years that will compete at the event. “Xane Bowen is 13, Jet Tunsted is 14, Hamish Proctor is 11, Lachlan Newman is 9, Ethan Fitzsimmons 10 and Lomani Newman is 11,” Brendan told the Weekly. “The three younger ones are in the aquathon and do a 1 km run, a 200-metre swim and then another 1km run. “The older two are in the triathlon and have a 300-metre

swim, a 10km bike ride and then a 3km run. The oldest one has a 500-metre swim, a 15km bike ride and a 4km run. “I’m expecting them all to do well as they have trained all through winter to get early season form. “All of them have achieved personal bests at Triathlon club races which is into its fifth week of racing. “Lachlan has two wins from two races already in the Qld Tri series. “Lachie came 3rd in the Nissan state series last year in the 7-9-year age group and Lomani placed second and third in the series the previous season.”

“They will go in the NSW titles as well and get a chance to compete in the Nationals. Brendan said he started the squad in 2017 and his junior athletes “had developed a lot over that time.’’ “There has been a huge improvement in skill and endurance,” he said. “A big factor is the growth of their own self-confidence. “I think they will go well: they are well-prepared and have raced against similar levels of competition before. “They are all local Tweed athletes but are pitting themselves against Qld’s best.”

A win a loss and a draw for Two Day LJ Hooker League Round 1 CUDGEN CAME out on top after a convincing victory over Tintenbar East Ballina, Murwillumbah went down to Casino and Pottsville drew with Lennox Head in the first round of the Two Day LJ Hooker League on Saturday, October 19. The Hornets went into week two with a commanding lead at 7-279 with James Julius and Connor Ziebell, two of the best bowlers in the league, in for a combined 3-9. It only got sadder for Tintenbar as Julius and Ziebell blasted them off the field, Julius finishing with 4-43 and Connor Ziebell with an impressive 5-33. Captain Caleb Connor (a moniker which has quite a swashbuckling ring to it) also took a wicket for 12 runs.

Seriously these guys could be playing for Australia. Tintenbar East Ballina ended the day all out for 121, in an ominous sign for the competition in the season ahead. Pottsville have dreams of taking that title off the Hornets and took on Lennox Head, who made the final against Cudgen last year, at Pottsville after a rained-out Day one. Lennox won the toss and sent Potty into bat. Captain Jayden Hoare was first up, top scoring with 25, while Tait Burns scored 24 off 17 with some brutal bowling from Lennox Head’s Todd Fisher who took an incredible 5/10 to see Potty all out for 126. Things weren’t looking good for our boys but South African import

Mika Eckstrom showed the team why they had forked out all those millions, bowling 3/10, with Ryan McCloy as reliable as ever on 3/27 and Sabah Sayed back to his old form with 3/25 to hold Lennox off at 126 for a draw. It was a good effort against a quality side. Murwillumbah won the toss and went into bat against Casino at Casino. James Agius top scored on 24 with Zac Vickers scoring 23 and the team all out for 121 off the back of some great bowling from the home team. Casino, who were beaten in the semi-final last year by Cudgen, managed to overtake Murwillumbah on 0/127.

Coastal League

IN ROUND 2 of second grade, all the Tweed teams folded like a cheap deck of cards except Terranora who had a bye. Cudgen went down to Byron Bay at home on 9/178 to Byron’s 3/181. Murwillumbah took on Lennox Head at home and put on a good showing to score 214 with Sam Everest so close to a century he must have almost wept when he got out for 96 and Lachlan Everest next best on 36. Unfortunately, they couldn’t hold off Lennox despite Travis Antonellis taking 3/18 with the visitors taking the win 6/218. The Thirstiers on 176 went down to Tintenbar East Ballina on 9/211 despite a 3/38 from Andrew McKay and 3/18 from

M Togo (though I’m sure M isn’t his first name) and 44 runs from Ayden Jones. Pottsville were unlucky to go down to Ballina despite Mitch Tripp scoring the 102 and earning the illustrious Pelican of the Week award. Tripps efforts were well supported by Troy Thoms on 40 with Potty closing on 6/220. Despite a solid 3/32 from Jack Corliss and 2/24 from Luke Buckman, they were overtaken by the Bears on 9/222.

Thirsty thirds Sorry to say but we have run out of time and space o report on third grade this week with all the crazy goings on in Murwillumbah as we go to print. Good luck to everyone next week.
