LEADERSHIP UPHEAVAL - DEPUTY JOHN BARILARO FOLLOWS GLADYS BEREJIKLIAN OUT OF NSW PARLIAMENT from front page

By Margaret Dekker NSW Deputy Premier and leader of the NSW National Party John Barilaro has joined former Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Transport Minister Andrew Constance in resigning from parliament in an extraordinary week in state politics.

“I have decided now is the right time for me to hand the reins over to new leadership and resign as Deputy Premier of NSW,” the former Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW, Industry and Trade said in a statement on Monday, October 4.

Water Minister Melinda Pavey is tipped to be new NSW Nationals leader

He said it was time for NSW to embrace a new era.

“As we emerge from lockdown, we must

embrace this time as a new beginning for our state and welcome the opportunity it presents for a refresh,” John

Barilaro’s statement continued.

His shock resignation came just a day after NSW Transport Minister, veteran Bega MP Andrew Constance announced his resignation on Sunday October 3, citing a possible tilt at Federal Politics in 2022.

Three resignations in as many days will see by-elections now held in the seats of Monaro (Barilaro replacement) Bega (Constance replacement) and Willoughby (Berejiklian replacement.)

Mr Barilaro was elected leader of the NSW Nationals and Deputy Premier of NSW in 2016.

“Ten and a half years

is a long time in politics.

Five years is a very long time as Deputy Premier, I’ve taken it seriously and given everything I possibly could have,” John Barilaro said on Monday.

“It is tough on anybody in public life to continue in this role, especially under so much scrutiny, especially media scrutiny.”

Mr Barilaro hoped regional NSW recognised his “genuine and tireless effort to be there for them.”

A Nationals party room meeting was set for this Wednesday for John Barilaro to formally resign as leader and call a ballot for his replacement.

Nationals MP Melinda Pavey, the Member for Oxley and current NSW Minister for Water, is widely tipped to replace John Barilaro as the next NSW Nationals leader.

“I’ve almost had 20 years in Parliament. I just want to continue serving our community,” Ms Pavey said earlier this week.

Andrew Constance MP said he wasn’t surprised by the sudden changing of the guard in New South Wales.

“The situation with Gladys was always going to trigger an enormous change or shift in the paradigm, and that’s what’s happened,” Andrew Constance said.

Silent or Selfish? Local protesters return to the NSW-Qld border to “Reclaim the Line”

By Margaret Dekker Hundreds of white-clad protestors including teachers, tradies, firefighters and nurses have walked the length of Boundary Street in Tweed HeadsCoolangatta in what organisers described as ‘a peaceful, safe and silent protest’ against mandatory vaccinations.

Retired Qantas Pilot Graham Hood addressed the gathering saying he was compelled to don his old uniform – now bearing the slogan ‘Reclaim the Line’ – after Qantas mandated all its staff be vaccinated.

“Bull! And the next thing that got me riled up was when Scott Morrison said we don’t do mandates in this country, we’re a free country, we rely on our citizens to get informed consent! Well, your citizens are going to take this country back,” Graham Hood said to cheering and applause.

COUNCIL SPLIT EMERGES OVER ACTING GM APPOINTMENT

By Tim Howard The newly appointed acting general manager of Clarence Valley Council, Laura Black, finds herself under siege from day one of her appointment.

Last week Mayor Jim Simmons dropped three mayoral minutes to deal with the imminent retirement of general manager Ashley Lindsay.

All created intense debate, but the one recommending director corporate and governance Laura Black replace Mr Ashley Lindsay in late November revealed a split in councillors’ views.

Mr Lindsay and council have agreed on exit strategy allowing Mr Lindsay to take leave from November 26 until his retirement date on October 7, 2022.

Councillors voted 5-4 to approve his recommendation of Ms Black but appear to have set a time bomb ticking during her appointment.

The five councillors who voted for her appointment: Crs Simmons, Jason Kingsley, Richie Williamson, Andrew Baker and Arthur Lysaught have said they won’t stand at the next election.

The four councillors up for re-election – Crs Peter Ellem, Debrah Novak, Greg Clancy and Karen Toms – all

General Manager Ashley Lindsay

supported council finding a locum GM until a permanent replacement was found.

The mayor’s minute survived an amendment from Cr Novak to appoint a locum instead of Ms Black.

Cr Baker sought to scupper the amendment asking the identity of the locum.

He argued the Local Government required the council appoint a particular person in the role and leaving the appointment open to a “locum” was not lawful.

But from a suggestion from Cr Ellem and after discussion that the wording in the amendment change to “locum general manager”, the mayor considered the amendment could proceed.

Cr Baker tried again, questioning if the amendment succeeded, it would put the appointment of the acting GM into the hands of the general

manager.

The mayor didn’t think so and pointed out there was no actual vacancy until October 7 next year.

Cr Lysaught tried his luck.

‘Do you lack confidence in the mayor’s mayoral minute, or do you lack confidence in the person nominated to fill the role?” he asked Cr Novak. But the mayor ruled his question as “unfair”.

In debate Cr Lysaught said Ms Black had performed her duties professional and “more than capable manner”.

“You wouldn’t submit this recommendation if you didn’t believe so yourself,” he said.

“It’s been traditional. Ever since I have been part of this particular council and the previous council, one of the senior staff was always appointed to fill in during general manager absences.”

Cr Baker dismissed the idea of the new council selecting an acting GM from outside the organisation.

“There could be up to nine fresh pairs of eyes sitting around this table,” he said.

“It would be wrong of this council to leave the position of acting general manager with someone who mightn’t even know their way around the building.”

Mr Baker said it could be hard for a new council to

know it they had found a stand in who knew much about the what’s happening at council.

Cr Toms said council had experience with locus general managers when former GM Stuart McPherson was injured.

“Then mayor Richie Williamson engaged Mike Colreavy to do the job from outside the council and he turned out to be an excellent choice,” she said.

Cr Toms said the council had someone in mind for the role who had experience in the role.

“We need a fresh eye,” she said. “If there are nine new councillors, we need to give them right as councillors to appoint somebody they choose.”

Cr Toms said she was not critical of the job Ms Black had done while Mr Lindsay was on sick leave.

“She has a role as director of corporate and governance and we need her to take care of that,” she said.

Cr Toms said a locum GM would provide welcome change and inject some new ideas which would be good for the council and the community.

Cr Williamson now was not the time to experiment as the council tried to deal with a very challenging period.

“A locum GM couldn’t hit

the ground running,” he said.

“This council is doing a lot in the community, and we need to maintain the drive for it to continue.”

Cr Williamson was until those calling for a locum GM could put a name to the person they proposed, amendment was a “shambles”.

Mayor Simmons said Ms Black had his total confidence and had shown she was well qualified to step up with the way she handled th role during Mr Lindsay’s period of sick lead.

“She led and progressed a number of major items,” he said. “Settling the water licence agreement with Essential Energy, implementing recruitment of the director of environment and planning is all set out for councillors to see.”

Cr Simmons said the council had record number of projects on its books with funding deadlines, so it was important council used someone familiar with the position.

But he said if the new council was determined to go its own way, it could rescind this decision of council if it wanted to make a change.

Council voted down the amendment 5-4 and then approved the mayoral minute to appoint Ms Black as acting GM by the same margin.

GLADYS GONE AFTER 4+ YEARS IN NSW TOP JOB

By Margaret Dekker

By the time The Northern Rivers Times goes to print, New South Wales should have a new premier, its 46th, and widely tipped to be state Treasurer, Dominic Perrottet MP or Planning Minister, Robert Stokes MP. Gladys Berejiklian is gone, after time and the Independent Commission Against Corruption or ICAC, caught up with her and a secret relationship with former boyfriend, Wagga Wagga MP, Daryl Maguire.

The popular premier resigned on Friday, October 1, barely a week after her 51st birthday, after holding office since January 23, 2017. In four and half short years (or long, depending on one’s view) Ms. Berejiklian led the state through drought, bushfires, flood, and an ongoing pandemic.

But it was notification of the commencement of an investigation into whether public trust was breached when she doled out tens of millions of dollars of grant money to the Riverina electorate of Daryl Maguire, that ultimately deemed her position untenable, in Gladys Berejiklian’s eyes.

Was there a conflict between public duty and private interest? The state watchdog, ICAC, will soon tell after completing its inquiry, dubbed ‘Operation Keppel,’ expected to start on October 18.

This is the transcript in full of the formerPremier’s announcement of her resignation on Friday: I have had to make an extremely difficult decision overnight, but one which I feel obliged to do because of the love and respect that I have

for the people of NSW and the high regard which I have for the office of Premier.

I was advised late yesterday afternoon the Independent Commission Against Corruption would today release a public statement in which it will state it is investigating allegations made about me concerning matters relating to the former member for Wagga Wagga.

As it will be clear from the ICAC statement, the issues which it is investigating are historic matters that have already been the subject of numerous attacks on me by political opponents during the last 12 months.

Many of the matters were the subject of questions I was asked by the Opposition while appearing before an estimates committee hearing earlier this year.

I want to be very clear, in all the decisions I have ever made as a Minister or as Premier for NSW, my first consideration has always been the wellbeing and welfare of the people of this state.

I state categorically, I have always acted with the highest level of integrity. History will demonstrate that I have always executed my duties with the highest degree of integrity for the

benefit of the people of NSW who I have had the privilege to serve.

As the leader of the NSW government, I have expected the highest of standards of myself and my colleagues. I have made it clear on numerous occasions that if any of my ministers were the subject of allegations being investigated by an integrity agency or law-enforcement, then he or she should stand aside while the investigation until their name was cleared.

The reason for my stance was not to have made any presumptions as to their conduct, but rather to maintain the integrity of the public office which was held whilst an investigation was completed. That same standard must apply to me as Premier.

However, standing aside is not an option for me as the Premier of NSW. The people of NSW need certainty as to who their leader is during these challenging times of the pandemic.

I cannot predict how long it will take the ICAC to complete this investigation, let alone deliver a report, in circumstances where I was first called to give evidence at a public hearing nearly 12 months ago. Therefore, it pains me to announce that

I have no option but to resign the office of Premier. My resignation will take effect as soon as the NSW Liberal Party can elect a new parliamentary leader.

In order to allow the new leader and government a fresh start, I will also resign from the NSW Parliament once I have consulted the electoral commission on appropriate timing for a byelection, given the COVID restrictions.

My resignation as Premier could not happen at a worse time, but the timing is completely outside of my control as the ICAC has chosen to take this action during the most challenging weeks of the most challenging times in the history of NSW. That is the ICAC’s prerogative. Resigning at this time is against every instinct in my being and something which I do not want to do, I love my job, and serving the community, but I have been given no option following the statement issued.

To continue as Premier would disrupt the state government during a time when our entire attention should be focused on the challenges confronting NSW. I do not want to be a distraction from what should be the focus of the state government

During these uncertain times, please get in touch if you need any support.

I am here for you and ready to help.

during this pandemic, which is the wellbeing of our citizens.

Notwithstanding the challenges of the last few years and few months in particular, I have never felt stronger, nor more confident in my leadership. I have absolutely no regrets during my time in public life. At times we all stumble, pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and start again stronger and wiser than before. I have done this many times, as we all have.

My only regret will be not to be able to finish the job to ensure the people of NSW transition to living freely with COVID. However, I am extremely confident that whoever succeeds me will be more than capable of continuing this job. Please give them your trust and confidence. We will come through this period stronger, more resilient, and appreciating what really matters in life.

I feel strong, energised, and optimistic about the future of this great state.

I want to thank the thousands of our frontline heroes who have kept us safe and kept us going during the darkest days in our state history. I owe you a debt of gratitude. Nothing that we can say or do will be able to demonstrate the significance of what you have done.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Liberal Party to whom I owe my career, the people of the electorate of Willoughby who have elected me five times to be their member of Parliament, my parliamentary colleagues for their support and hard work, my outstanding and loyal staff past and present, and all the professional public

servants with whom I have worked.

I also want to thank my family and friends who have provided me with unconditional support and understanding when I have not been as present due to my responsibilities.

Most importantly I want to thank you, the people of NSW. When the chips were down in the past years, in particular during the drought, bushfires and then COVID, we stood alongside each other.

We have grieved and supported each other during these tragedies. I hope you know that you will remain foremost in my thoughts.

The courage that you display in your lives every day has inspired me every step of the way.

The courage and the support you have shown me has humbled me and made me a better leader and a better person.

Serving you has been the greatest privilege of my life. Please know that every day I gave it my all and worked as hard as I could to create a better future for our state and its people I truly believe that NSW is a place where every person, irrespective of their background and circumstances has the opportunity to be their best, to make a difference.

So, as I address you for the final time as your Premier, please stay the course and stay safe. We will be shortly out of this lockdown and be able to get on with our lives.

NSW and its people will come out of this lockdown stronger, and together we will build a future full of optimism and hope.

Finally, thank you again for giving me the honour of being your Premier.

Training hub plan to crack youth unemployment Grafton has been chosen as part of an initiative aimed at bringing down youth unemployment by forging closer links between local industry and high school students.

The Federal Government is trialling training hubs across the country that aim to connect students with job opportunities while students were Page MP Kevin Hogan said establishing industry training hubs would provide a mechanism through which students and businesses could connect.

He said Business NSW has been awarded the contract in Grafton and it has employed Kerren Law to deliver training hub services to the region.

He said this position would create better linkages between schools and local industry, and help focus on developing skills for occupations most relevant to the region.

Mr Hogan said that improving opportunities for young people was important for the community.

“The new training hub will help tackle youth unemployment in the Clarence Valley and Mid North Coast region by working with, and encouraging Year 11 and 12 students, to build skills and choose occupations in demand in our region,” Mr Hogan said.

“We want senior secondary school students to be well placed to find employment when they

leave school.

“Importantly, this new training hub will help promote the many opportunities in the vocational education and training sector as a firstchoice career option.”

As an industry training hub career facilitator Ms Law said she is excited to get started unpacking the hub and establishing its programming.

“This is a brilliant opportunity for students to expand their vision of career possibilities beyond what they see and know,” she said.

“It’s important work, our young people are tomorrow’s future business, industry and community leaders.

Ideally students look at vocational education and training with fresh eyes, and weave this into their career planning pathway.”

Business NSW regional manager Jane

Laverty said they were excited about what an industry training hub can achieve for both young people and employers in the region who are looking to make the most of the vocational education and training opportunity.

“Business leaders are very focused on their workforce development so this it is great timing for the hub establishment,” Ms Laverty said.

She said the Grafton Training Hub was one of 10 being trialled across the country as part of the Australian Government’s $50.6 million investment to improve opportunities for year 11 and 12 students in regions with high youth unemployment.

LAST month, I joined forces with four other NSW MPs representing the Northern Rivers to ask the NSW Government to protect our region from a predicted big influx of Sydneysiders when the State capital reaches the Government’s 70-per cent double vaccination target before we can.

Coming together with one voice for the communities we represent, The Nationals’ Chris Gulaptis (Clarence), Geoff Provest (Tweed) and Ben Franklin MLC, together with myself and The Greens’ Tamara Smith (Ballina) wrote to Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Deputy Premier John Barilaro about our concerns.

Both Ms Berejiklian and Mr Barilaro have since resigned and are leaving politics.

We asked to adjust the roadmap to factor in regional and rural circumstances to prevent us being swamped by visitors prematurely, and in a win for us here, non-essential travel from Greater Sydney to the North Coast now will be restricted until a higher safety target of 80 per cent is reached.

It should be remembered that regional and rural New South Wales supported Sydney during its darkest hours this winter when the Government redirected some of our vaccine supply to metropolitan students sitting their HSC. The vaccination rollout was prioritised to Sydney and from last week eligibility for all Covid-19 vaccines was

opened up to all people over the age of 12.

Vaccine availability is slowly improving here in our region, and not before time.

It is now our turn. We need more vaccines and more time. We have been left out of all considerations and should not have to fight so hard to get taken notice of. It took all MPs, even those in the Government, to come together to say ‘what about us here in regional and rural NSW?’ It is not all about Sydney.

I was part of a similar cross-party collaboration which secured a border zone between Northern New South Wales and South East Queensland, tested recently by some positive Covid-19 cases leaking into our region, and resultant snap lockdowns in Byron Shire and Tweed Shire LGAs (lifted at time of writing) and in Kyogle and Lismore City LGA, and the town of Casino (now in place until 11 October).

These lockdowns really hurt local businesses, families and local councils’ operations.

The filming of reality TV productions, with large casts and crews from Sydney, is inappropriate for our region at this time.

These production companies had a corporate social responsibility to Byron and Tweed shire residents to ensure that their employees adhered to permit restrictions under Covid-safe plans.

I also wrote to the Deputy Premier, in his then capacity as Minister for Regional NSW, requesting a detailed road map for opening up from Covid-19

restrictions that is more particularised to the circumstances and challenges being faced by local communities in regional areas.

The thinking behind having this road map is that hopefully it will provide much more clarity, and if implemented well, gradually replace the need to go in and out of lockdown.

However, we need to know that opening up will not mean open slather; putting our local government areas at any undue risk or disadvantage.

We need the NSW Government to be more transparent about how many residents of Greater Sydney are being issued with permits to travel to the North Coast, whether they are fully vaccinated and why they are coming.

How many others might have slipped through the net, exposing the regions to Covid outbreaks and clusters?

Subsequently, Mr Barilaro held several Zoom hook-ups with regional MPs and I believe he and other senior ministers were starting to listen to our concerns, which are shared by locally-based medical professionals and the broader community.

I pledged to work with the NSW Government to keep our communities safe and healthy, and for government financial support measures to reach struggling local businesses and individuals, particularly as the Federal Government soon will withdraw such support.

FAREWELL

Mourners made their way to St Luke’s Chapel at Chatsworth to celebrate the life of Gregory John Ryan, who died on September 18 at the age of 88.

Greg, the former floor manager the now defunct Mackelly’s department story has been a colourful contributor to the cultural and community life of the city since the early post war years.

He was a key figure in the transformation of

the Jacaranda Thursday Dress Up. HIs reputation also spread beyond Grafton, as his former boss Andrew Kelly, recalled when his window for Eve Ardern makeup, featuring running water and real birds, beat out competition from Myers and David Jones.

HIs retirement from Mackellys in the early 2000s only gave him more time to concentrate on turning his ideas into projects and they poured

out from his fertile imagination.

Daughter Leoni Ryan was unapologetic about the length of the service to farewell her dad as there was so many stories to tell about a life lived to its fullest.

The service at the chapel, chosen because of its location near Greg’s childhood home, began with harp music played and composed by grandson Liam Ebbs on a harp Greg made for him.

Friends like Brian Loadsman a former colleague at Mackellys and later a theatre nurse who helped the family keep Greg comfortable at home in his last days, friends like John Hyam and family in person or via video link, had tales to tell.

Grafton Men’s Shed member Bruce Carle recalled Greg joining the Men’s Shed in late 2008, typically arriving with a partly finished rocking horse, which he completed with a hammer and chisel.

He recalled how he took three member under his wing and trained them in the fine art of rocking horse manufacture, christening them the “Horseketeers”.

Mr Kelly had many memories to call on, but picked out the year Greg came up with the Jacaranda purple emu.

The emu costume was a wearable puppet, in which Greg provided the legs and controlled the mobile long neck and head.

Needless to say that mobile head and neck found themselves in

some funny places.

For a journalist Greg Ryan was gold.

The words “Tim, Greg Ryan is here to see you,” were music to the ears and you wondered what fantastic stunt you were about to become part of.

Things like cricket stumps that convinced reluctant young backyard batters they had actually been dismissed, the discovery of the purple feathered parrot, the jackatoo, that arrived in Grafton in late October 2015, the conversion of a massive silky oak grown in a Grafton into a stable of rocking horses and the fund raising feats of Debra the Zebra and the later development of the design and manufacture of a set of teeth to give her a distinctive smile, were all highlights. But there were plenty more.

We were there to witness his descent by parachute, with daughter Leoni, onto Susan Island for his 80th birthday, but it wasn’t by accident.

Greg could have made it a private event, but typically he could see there was a chance to promote Grafton and

its beautiful river, so he ensured it got the publicity it deserved.

Only a year ago Greg came to me with yet another mischievous project, to conjure up a discovery myth for Grafton involving two mermaid sisters Clarissa and Melissa, as part of a project for the mural on the Grafton Rowing Club.

This list reveals Greg’s fertile imagination, but it is only a glimpse at what he achieved over a lifetime and a taste of the legacy he left for his beloved home town.

An incident Leoni recounted from his last weeks struck me as a good way to remember him.

Leoni, on father’s orders, kept a vigil at his bedside for the last fortnight.

She said one night her father had decided it was time to go, so said his farewells and went off to sleep.

In the morning, surprised to wake he said. “Oh, Oh, I’m still here and you’re still there, isn’t life miraculous.”

DOGS HAVE THEIR DAY IN PARK UPGRADE

The pump track at Suffolk Park is proving popular for all the kids, even the big kids at heart!

A $982,000 upgrade to one of Grafton’s most utilised riverside parks has a pleasing development for local dog owners.

The latest funding for the park includes money for a fenced dog park to give pet owners access to facilities to train and exercise their animals.

Page MP Kevin Hogan and Clarence MP Chris Gulaptis announced the funding late last week from the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery package.

“The project will also cover pathways, park furniture, shade shelters, dog agility equipment, a water station and landscaping.

“This project was identified by our community and will make a big difference locally, creating opportunities to increase employment and economic recovery.”

“So as we roar back to a post COVID outdoor life, better facilities will be a welcome sight for visitors, be they armed with their picnic basket, their fishing gear, their water skis or their loyal companions to let off some energy in the new fenced dog park”.

He said the BLER funding is one part of the $4.5 billion

By Margaret Dekker A petition for a latest ‘pump track’ in Pottsville has already attracted more than 600 signatures and the attention of Tweed Shire Mayor, Chris Cherry.

In the pitch to the Shire, organisers of the ‘Campaigns by Me’ petition say Pottsville is a growing Community and would benefit from a pump track.

“Pump tracks are relatively simple to use and cater to a wide variety of rider skill levels, young and old.

Pump tracks were originally designed for the mountain bike and BMX scenes, but they are also used by skateboard and scooter riders, and they are generally accessible to wheelchairs, “It will also give the Pottsville community another activity to engage

in,” the online pitch reads.

Mayor of Tweed Shire, Chris Cherry has indicated support for the project.

“It sounds great, and I have been talking to the initiator of the petition about this. Do people have suggestions for a location? It is good to have it in an area with good passive surveillance and not too close to people’s houses?” Mayor Cherry asked.

Supporters says the pump track, or off-road circuit, gets kids off indoor screens and outside being physical.

“Any option a kid can take that is activity healthy and promotes the great outdoors I’m all in. Nearby Cabarita has a skate park and it’s always packed so an alternative towards that end of the coast certainly can’t hurt,” one supporter

Pets Domain Casino, opening 23rd October PETS Domain had a very humble beginning. CEO Jason van Peelen began selling live fish out of his garage as a young teenager before taking the leap and opening a physical pet store in Tasmania with his father.

This family owned business soon opened more stores across the state before expanding further to the mainland. A spokesperson for the company said Pets Domain has a “focus on bringing a full pet offering to regional Australia”.

However, despite growing, the business has kept its core values: providing customers with the products they need at affordable prices and being passionate about pet care.

“Here at Pets Domain we stock everything you need as a proud pet parent to keep your furry, feathered or scaly friends happy and healthy.

“Pets Domain have a wonderful team who are passionate about the care and welfare of all pets.

As a company we strive to provide pet parents with the things they need to care for and spoil their pets – which is why we introduced our +PLUS Club Loyalty Program Membership so you can get the best price possible every single day.”

Pets Domain Casino is opening on October 23rd, making this the thirteenth Pets Domain store in New South Wales, and the forty-seventh store in the Pets Domain family.

All stores have an expansive range of pet products, including food and treats for all pets, health treatments, fashionable clothing, litter, accessories, and livestock feeds. Customers can also use the DIY Dog Wash for $10.00.

There is also a large range of live fish and live plants in the specialised fish room – plus everything you could possibly need as a first time fish owner or

someone who has kept fish for years. “Fish and fish products are one of our biggest specialities.”

Pets Domain also supports the pets in the community that may not be so lucky by holding adoption days. “We enjoy supporting and working with local pet adoption and community rescue groups to assist in finding animals their forever homes.”

The business also offers a free Click and Collect service. Simply purchase the items you are after on their online store (petsdomain.com.au) and once you receive a notification you can pick it up in-store.

Visit your nearest store to meet their friendly staff and satisfy all your pet related needs!

LETTERS, FEEDBACK AND OPINION

BYRON SHIRE As a weekly buyer of your new paper, we congratulate you on the paper. I am disappointed in the article on page 3 regarding the article on the Byron Mayor attitude to people entering the Byron Shire.

I am sure the journalists would be up to date on the attitude by the Byron Mayor on vaccinations, and how Byron rates of vaccinations compared to Ballina.

The mayor has not shown good leadership on vaccinations and he must be held accountable for the low vaccination rates in the shire.

The majority of residents and businesses in Byron do not condone his current attitude and this should have been covered in this article to show both sides of the story.

Thanks for a great paper, L. Johnston Bangalow HERE WE ALWAYS GO In reply to letters NRT 30/09. I would like to say to Mr Johnson of Cumbalum, I full- heartedly concur with your letter. I read with interest the article in NRT regarding the

VACCINE PASSPORTS Seems like if you want to travel interstate, you’ll need multiple covid 19 vaccine certificates or apps this is convoluted and totally unnecessary and dreamt up by some bean counting Bollinger boffin bureaucrat from Belconnen whose got his head up his behind.

Why I. This country don’t we have universal everything instead of a state-run bureaucratic nonsense.

Furthermore, it’s easier to forge things online than it is in paper form and as well as this counties with Less vaccination rates than Australia have dropped all need for covid passports Britain being one plus Portugal Norway Denmark and I’m sure more to come.

We need to get rid of control freak governments and let people take personal responsibility for their own lives and be free instead of the police nanny state we are in now.

VOTE THEM ALL OUT I never thought I’d be agreeing with Labor and Green voters that this Liberal run NSW govt and Federal Coalition govt should go but we are living in such upside-down times that you might as well say the Coalition govt of Liberal and Nationals is so much like the Labor and Greens govt.

Look at Matt Kean, a lovely man but a wolf in sheep’s clothing, who is the energy and environment minister pushing to have renewables and hydro power replace coal so that he can say he has an emissions reduction target of 50% by 2030.

Talk about hot air. He is only wanting to show what a good politician he is. Rather he is leading the Liberal run state govt to a big fall and defeat at the next state election.

People are now looking elsewhere for leadership because of ministers like him.

Doesn’t he know that the last Federal election was won due to the Coalition govt saying ‘No’ to a carbon emissions scheme?

Matt Kean is also the minister who authorised culling of brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park. We might need these brumbies one day the way our country is

being run, especially if Matt gets his way, e.g., UK just had fuel rationing.

The best thing is to vote all these politicians out and start again with either Clive Palmer and Craig Kelly’s United Australia Party, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation or Riccardo Bosi’s Australia One Party candidates who have more common sense than infatuations.

Without this division and controversy within the council, the broader community would never have stirred itself to become informed of the complexity of water-supply issues in the Northern Rivers.

Any tide readings affected by a river is inaccurate, as it’s affected by river flow not the mean sea levels [fact].

The sea level argument has kept the climate chargers’ eye off the ball, because the most important news ever has happened this year! It rained in Greenland for the first time in recorded history., try that for Empirical Data.

Evans Head Iron Gates development, council will receive submissions until 24/10. I wish the developer Mr Graham Ingles all the very best in hopefully getting his development under way, not before time I suggest.

The partially completed development was hijacked by the highprofile low I.Q. lefty greens back in the 90’s, which resulted in the development being abandoned, much to the disgust of the majority.

I hope the council other relative authorities find the fortitude to stand up and approve this much needed development.

There is also an article about predictions of coastline inundation by rising sea levels in far north coastal areas. Once again, more alarmism from the IPCC and their proponents trying to scare the population into compliance with their ridiculous ideas.

It amuses me to read about modelling, advanced modelling and IPCC modelling of high confidence. How about that, High Confidence.

(Where is the empirical evidence?), I would like to know the first-time modelling was correct.

I have lived alongside, nearby and around the Richmond River for 63yrs, the level has not changed one iota in that time, I have spoken to many other residents who confirm my statement.

Please someone tell me when to expect high tide to find a new high, we have been hearing about it for the past 40 yrs or so, however the pesky sea level just refuses to co-operate.

OPINION 13

LETTERS, FEEDBACK AND OPINION - THE PREMIER MESSED UP! Our premier has resigned because she seems to have been involved in high-level corruption involving millions of dollars of our tax-payer money, that she probably helped to misappropriate.

Together with the blatantly admitted ‘porkbarrelling’ of her Deputy Mr Barilaro, which is nothing other than using our hard-earned money to try to buy their own re-election, it shows the contempt of this NSW government for fairness, ethics, and the rule of law, obliging them to act in the best interest of all of the people of NSW, not just their favoured electorates.

The only thing saving grace for our former Premier is that she actually resigned because of her involvement in wrongdoing - something the coal- and powerhugging Morrison government doesn’t even know how to spell.

Luckily the world-wide reign of King Coal is coming to its end, hopefully taking the associated corruption with it.

Ulf Steinvorth Dunoon NORTH LISMORE DEVELOPMENT Not that it is my habit I would like to respond briefly to the letter of Col Baker in NR Times 23rd September, Most of his letter asks rhetorically how I reach and have knowledge of the issues I have raised in relation to proposed developments on the North Lismore Plateau.

I have been a researcher for over 40 years, and I will briefly outline the process I engaged in to understand the adverse impacts of this

type of development being pushed onto the community by developers and their sycophantic toe the line Council staff and Councillors.

Firstly, I download all the documents from the LCC website, then print and place them into spring bound folders.

I then read them all thoroughly, mark and tag them.

Finally, before I do a submission I will go and speak to those who may be impacted on the ground such as the Showground management, Aboriginal Elders and people in North Lismore.

Col asks where do I get my facts? and the answer is from the Council and the developers supporting documents for the proposal.

Everything I have stated concerning the particular development on the Dunoon Road floodplain comes from the developer and Council.

Pretty straight forward and if Col took the time and effort as I have done, he would find that all the matters I raise are in the development proposal, In conclusion it is quite clear that the whole North Lismore Plateau development will have some very serious environmental, flooding and traffic impacts on North Lismore.

Indigenous Justice Advocacy Network POOR DECISIONS Well Gladys has gone and it’s because of her poor decisions she had made over the length of her premiership.

From her relationship with Daryl Maguire to the ruby princess debacle to not lockdown Sydney and not putting a ring of steel round Sydney allowing covid 19 to run rampant and the disastrous koala decision her judgement has been poor on way to many occasions for her to be capable of being premier regardless of ICAC inquiry it’s her poor decisions that are really to blame.

Alan Mosley Yamba FLOUT FLAUNT An article on page 3 of the September 30 issue opens with the sentence: “Alleged flaunting of exemption rules by a Sydney make-up artist” Since “flaunt” means to “Wave proudly or show off” can we assume that the said make-up artist waved a copy of the exemption rules and publicly thumbed her nose at the authorities?

What is more likely is that the reporter meant that the exemption rules were “flouted”. The word “flout” means to “reject, defy or treat with contempt by word or act.”

It is unfortunate that such an incorrect piece of English usage went undetected. The two words are similar in sound and shape.

Sometimes the two meanings can overlap.

Land Based tidal gauges around the world can be subject to the slow rise/fall of coastlines be it isostatic, subsidence, glacial rebound etc.

A glance at the historic records of tidal gauges v sea level from around the world confirms their unreliability regarding sea level rise.

G. McDonald’s beloved BOM acknowledges this having instituted a Baseline Monitoring initiative to overcome the problem.

When coastlines move, local Trig stations would move in sync with the tidal gauge rendering McDonald’s explanation ridiculous.

At any rate his/her rant appears to be a (more or less) paraphrase of Bob Carter’s article on sea level from the Australian 1.10.2021 and said Bob Carter is a serial climate-change denier rejected by mainstream science.

When all is said and done science is agreed that sea level is rising at a rate of about 3mm per annum, a rate which appears to be increasing due to warming oceans and polar ice melt.

If G. McDonald stayed away from sceptic websites, we could well do without his ‘alternate facts from the misinformed universe’.

The sense of decency by Nigel Dawe

THE adept oppressor, wanna-be world leader, Vladimir Putin, once snidely remarked, “You can do a lot more with weapons and politeness than just politeness.”

But you can also do infinitely more without the infantile prop-threats of weapons, repression and macho words, and by having a genuine love and deep regard for others in your heart.

I don’t know if it is merely a warped ‘modern day’ phenomenon, where being rude, crass or disrespectful are considered impressive, smart or admirable in some way (look at the popularity of crude, abusive reality shows); as if being loud and overreactive could ever pass for being thoughtful and reflective, instead of being merely repulsive and abjectly lacking in substance.

The easiest life to lead is the rotten one, the one in which you give no thought to the plight, place or feelings of others; do what you like, say what you like, parade about like the toughest person in the world, or simply roll it all into one – and just don’t give a damn about anything but the realisation and importance of your own petty, self-serving wishes and wants.

Aptly, the American moral philosopher, Eric Hoffer, once discerned: “Rudeness is the weak person’s imitation of strength.” In a world ‘gone mad’ with miscalculated, albeit misconstructed notions of strength: being genuinely strong has zilch to do with one’s physical bearing or presence, but everything to do with one’s emotional intelligence, moral fibre and a refined sense of decency.

One of my favourite

linguistic and conceptual ‘resonances’, is the connotation of ‘light’ (both in terms of being non-heavy and its luminosity) in the word ‘politeness’, there is something so illuminating and reassuring about this almighty little, threesyllable word. As such, the former American President and Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Theodore Roosevelt once discerned, “Politeness is a sign of dignity, not subservience.”

Like the appearance of a rainbow, there is always a sunbeam shining directly at the right angle; similarly, where there is politeness, there is the gleaming prevalence of someone’s good manners, you simply can’t have one without the other. Or as the German icon, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once reflected, “A person’s manners are a mirror in which they show their portrait.”

And whether you’d like a portrait seemingly done by an unflattering Picasso, or alternately, by a revering Leonardo da Vinci, how you behave towards others and in yourself, clears the way for the exact image that emerges from the pale void of a blank canvas.

Or, quite frankly, as Maurice Baring once said, “Whoever one is, and wherever one is, one is always in the wrong if one is rude.”

At the end of the day, how you want to be treated and remembered, all revolves around how you treat others, and the respect you either show or directly withhold in your dealings with them. Thus, ever heed the prompt of William Arthur Ward, “God gave you a gift of 84,600 seconds today. Have you used one of them to say thank you?”

NEWSBRIEFS BALLINA’S NEW DEPUTY MAYOR COUNCILLOR Ben Smith is the new deputy mayor at Ballina Shire Council.

Previous deputy mayor Cr Sharon Cadwallader also ran for the position, but when the vote from councillors came back tied at 5 votes each, Cr Smith’s name was drawn from a hat.

Cr Smith will be deputy mayor until the Local Government Elections planned for December 4.

RAIL WITH TRAIL ON HOLD A LACK of government funding is prohibiting the advancement of the Rail with Trail project in Byron Bay. Council was to be part of a third workshop to identify potential infrastructure planning options for the combined use of the road and rail corridors scheduled in June/July, which was postponed due to Covid restrictions.

Council says a detailed engineering assessment is required to fully understand the state of the existing rail infrastructure on the line between Byron Bay and Mullumbimby, but that can’t be done until vegetation is cleared along the length of the rail corridor, and the NSW government has clearly stated to council that they have no current budget to fund that work.

DEPUTY MAYOR RE-ELECTED UNOPPOSED DUE to the delay in the Local Government Elections, yet again due to Covid-19, Tenterfield Shire Council is pleased to advise that deputy mayor Greg Sauer was re-elected, unopposed, recently.

Mayor Petty (the Mayor’s term is two years) and Deputy Mayor Sauer (the Deputy Mayor term is one year) will both now remain in their

ILLEGALLY DUMPED ASBESTOS UNDER INVESTIGATION THE aftermath of someone’s renovations containing asbestos have been dumped in bushland.

Two incidents have been reported within the last fortnight and cleaned up by Byron Shire Council at Durrumbul Rd, Main Arm (50m up from local creek) and Coolamon Scenic Dr, Billinudgel.

If you have any information regarding these or any other illegal dumping incidents please contact the Resource Recovery Hotline on 1300 652 625 or report online at https://ridonline.epa. nsw.gov.au.

Dumping of asbestos incurs a fine of up to $500,000 for an individual and $2 million for corporations.

positions until the Local Government Elections are held on Saturday, December 4.

NAUGHTONS GAP ROAD REMAINS CLOSED NAUGHTONS Gap Road will remain closed until next year, while Ballina-based engineering consultants Civil Consult carry out further geotechnical studies to inform the design work, which is also now underway.

This additional monitoring is necessary to ensure the final slope stabilisation design meets the altering condition of the ground.

The landslip, which began in March 2021 following significant rain events, required the closure of Naughtons Gap Road between Rambaldinis Road and Stones Road due to safety concerns.

A construction tender will be advertised in January, with work expected to start in April, weather and ground condition permitting.

CHANGES TO BIN COLLECTION SERVICES BALLINA Shire Council will be introducing changes to bin collection services

in several urban and rural areas from early October.

These changes are necessary to maintain efficient waste and recycling collection services for our residents as demand across the shire continues to grow.

Impacted properties will receive a letter to notify them of these changes.

Residents should visit ballina.nsw.gov. au/bin-collection-days for more information, including service area maps outlining current collection schedules, or call the Waste Management Centre on 6686 1287.

Setting a course for the best in early childhood learning

By Nigel Dawes Some of us do what we do for work because it is all we’ve known, it is what we fell into, or ended up doing merely because of the opportunities that presented to us at the time; others, consciously challenge themselves and choose professions that endow them with a life-driving sense of purpose.

Neil Gorring, Director of Uniting Preschool Grafton, is one such example of a purposedriven professional who wears his heart on his sleeve, and an air of deep commitment on his brow, when it comes to the truly invaluable field of early childhood learning.

Imbued with a discernible passion for education, and having worked in the industry since 1994, Mr Gorring, a former Riverina boy, says: “We always have to remember that today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders. So, how do we want those leaders to begin their journey?”

Neil Gorring, Director of Uniting Preschool Grafton

Being able to see the future leader, albeit the accomplished adult in every child, is not just a gift, but an ethos and approach Mr Gorring brings to the fore, each day of his life. “I think children’s creative capacity to think very laterally in the way they relate to the world around them (is what makes working with children so enjoyable),” “I feel it’s always easy to underestimate children’s capabilities, and time and time again

I’ve seen them rise to the occasion to develop a solution if they’re just given the opportunity to voice their opinion and then have this supported through action,” said Mr Gorring.

When asked if he had any advice for parents negotiating the challenges of this COVID-19 period, Mr Gorring focused on the importance of trusting your instincts, and went on to say, “With COVID, I provide regular updates from NSW Health relating to early

childhood services. I want to support parents to make the most informed decision they can on what they feel is best for their own child,” “Our children are watching the adults try and navigate what their COVID response is, as they re-orientate their lives and their families’ wellbeing. I learnt many years ago that children deserve answers to their questions, and it is best to provide these in a way that is responsive and accessible for them to understand,” said Mr Gorring.

Uniting Preschool Grafton has approved places for 25 children (aged 3 to 5 years) Monday to Friday, between the hours of 8:15 to 3:45pm, and are rated as ‘exceeding’ the National Quality Standard, which is a rating that is determined through an assessment of seven quality areas (with regards to how the preschool functions and what it delivers in terms of learning and its overall layout).

The NSW Government is trialling a new way to assist people on low incomes with their power bills by installing free solar systems for up to 3,000 eligible households in place of their Low Income Household Rebate. This program aims to improve energy affordability by helping households unlock long terms savings on their electricity bills.

While this means you will no longer receive the $285 annual rebate on your electricity bill, you could receive up to $600 in savings per year from your new solar system!

The program is only available to a limited number of households that live in the region and meet the eligibility criteria. When participating in this program households will receive a free, fully installed 3kW solar system in place of their Low Income Household Rebate.

SAE Group are the only approved provider, designing and installing solar systems to eligible homes across Northern NSW. To be eligible you must: • Currently be receiving the Low Income Household Rebate • Agree not to receive the rebate for ten years • Own your own home • Not already have a solar PV system • Use at least 3600 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity in a year • Live in the North Coast of NSW • Hold a valid Pensioner Concession Card or a Department of Veteran Affairs Gold Card If you are not the registered homeowner, but your spouse is, you may be considered eligible collectively as a household.

A 3kW system is designed to generate an average of 12.6kwh per day, which will deliver electricity savings depending on each households energy consumption. Managing Director of SAE Group Glen Ashton comments “We know electricity bills continue to place a lot of pressure on households, and we are pleased to be working with the NSW Government to help ease the pressure on low income households.”

SAE Group are a locally owned and operated organisation with more than ten years’ experience in the solar industry. SAE Group are a Clean Energy Council Approved Retailer, and hold accreditations ISO 9001, AS/NZS4801 for safety and quality systems.

Safety is paramount to us, and it our goal to ensure we provide quality solar systems to eligible households that will deliver ongoing savings for many years to come.

PROTECTING MENTAL HEALTH

ON THE COFFS COAST

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the NSW Government has launched a new Workplace Pulse Check tool to help businesses improve their mental health support and access training and materials from SafeWork NSW. “Our local businesses take great pride in looking after their employees and this tool from the NSW Government will allow businesses to implement proactive measures to support their staff’s mental health in the workplace,” Mr Singh said.

“Work can be a stressful environment and I know employers take staff welfare very seriously - this initiative will be a huge benefit when it comes to protecting mental health.

“The NSW Government is offering

free, one-on-one practical coaching for small and medium sized businesses, as well as mental health training workshops tailored for employers, managers and employees to help businesses become mentally healthy.”

Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation Kevin Anderson said mentally healthy workplaces have more productive staff who feel more positive about work, with less absenteeism and better retention rates.

“By completing a pulse check, you will be able to establish how your business is doing in terms of its approach to mental health, as well as receive advice on how to provide a supportive culture for your employees,” Mr Anderson said.

“We know mental health is a big issue impacting regional

NSW, so by helping businesses to become mental healthy, the NSW Nationals are building a safer and stronger regional NSW.” Minister for Mental Health Bronnie Taylor said business leaders can play a substantial role in supporting their employees’ mental health at work.

“There are so many things business leaders can do to ensure their workplace is mentally healthy – from regular check-ins and discussions around mental health, to proactively identifying and addressing risks,” Mrs Taylor said.

October is Mental Health Month in NSW. To access the Mentally Healthy Workplaces ‘Workplace Pulse Check’, please visit www. mentalhealthatwork. nsw.gov.au

RECOVERY SUPPORT FOR OUR STORM

AND FLOOD IMPACTED PRODUCERS

Storm and flood affected producers from the Coffs Coast’s critical primary industries are encouraged to apply for recovery support through the $80 million Storm and Flood Industry Recovery Program, co-funded by the Australian and NSW governments.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the storms and floods which devastated our region earlier this year caused significant damage to many farms, also affecting the businesses which rely on them.

“Farming is an important part of the local economy, which has already taken a huge hit from the impacts of prolonged drought, bushfires and now COVID,” Mr Singh said.

“The funding in this program will provide the direct assistance many local farmers need to recover as well as build resilience and

preparedness for future natural disasters.

“Recovery after a natural disaster is a slow process and it often takes time to realise the full extent of the damage, which is why I am urging eligible local producers to make the most of this opportunity and apply for support.”

In addition to producer grants for eligible industries, the Storm and Flood Industry Recovery Program will deliver broader sector recovery and resilience projects, which will further support regional and state recovery and preparedness efforts.

Deputy Premier and Minister responsible for Disaster Recovery John Barilaro said regional NSW is the backbone of this state and it is critical to support the key regional industries which keep our economy thriving.

“Storm and flood impacted towns cannot

afford to suffer further job losses and economic downturn, which is why we are delivering this funding to keep our key regional industries in business,” Mr Barilaro said.

“The Department of Regional NSW has comprehensively reviewed the storm and flood impacts and consulted with affected industries to ensure this program meets the unique recovery needs of each of the impacted sectors.”

The Storm and Flood Industry Recovery Program is one part of the $790 million NSW Storm and Flood Recovery Package, cofunded by the Australian and NSW governments.

Major upgrade for Corcoran Park

Corcoran Park is a picturesque park located on the Clarence River in Grafton. It is set for a major upgrade thanks to $982,000 in joint funding from the Federal and State Governments.

Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan said this project will boost our economic recovery and create jobs in our community.

“The project includes bulk earthworks, the construction of a fenced dog park, as well as an access road, viewing areas, and a carpark,” Mr Hogan said.

“The project will also cover pathways, park furniture, shade shelters, dog agility equipment,

a water station and landscaping.”

“This project was identified by our community and will make a big difference locally, creating opportunities to increase employment and economic recovery.”

Clarence Nationals MP Chris Gulaptis described Corcoran Park as one of Grafton’s most prized community assets and well worthy of a spruce up.

“I daresay this delightful river spot has witnessed many a first kiss and more than the occasional marriage proposal,” Mr Gulaptis said.

“So as we roar back to

a post COVID outdoor life, better facilities will be a welcome sight for visitors, be they armed with their picnic basket, their fishing gear, their water skis or their loyal companions to let off some energy in the new fenced dog park”.

The funding comes from the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Package which is one part of the $4.5 billion overarching bushfire support program cofunded by the Australian and NSW Governments for bushfire recovery, response and preparedness in NSW.

“Leemo’s View” “LEEMO has views on just about anything”

WHAT’S A ‘STUFF-UP ‘Leemo Cat’ communicating again. ‘Mum Jane’ decided to vacuum ... Eeeek! I HATE that poxy roaring, vicious beady-eyed machine so I scooted down to my bedroom and put on my radio. I heard on the news that ‘Miss Gladys’ had resigned. Ooooh...

I ran straight upstairs to tell Mum. She accused me of telling porkies so I put the ABC radio news on for her to prove it. Crikey, Mum looked aghast, and sat down in her TV armchair and even asked me to sit down with her so we could discuss this news. Mum asked me “Leems, do you think that in your life you may have ‘stuffed up’ every now & then.

OMG, what a question, it made me SQUIRM. I then asked HER if a ‘stuff-up’ means one making a blunder or a kinda mistake? Mum confirmed that this was indeed correct.

Hmmm...I needed to ponder. “Mum, why are you asking me this stuff anyhow?” Mum told me that ‘Miss Gladys’ resigned ‘cos she was being investigated by something called ICAC. They are suggesting she has made ‘stuff ups’ and there could a conflict of interest.

CRIKEY, I reckon that if I DO admit to all of MY ‘stuff-ups’ I would be put in the first rowboat being sent to a Rehabilitation/Penal Colony for cats. With

my luck it would be an Island. And, in order to escape I would have to learn to swim...oh, the HORROR. You KNOW I hate getting wet. I figured it was in my VERY best interests to steer this conversation back to MUM so I asked her “Mum, have you perhaps made ‘stuff-ups’ in your own life”? She looked somber and said “Leems, I have made so many stuffups in my life I’ve lost count, and I’m pretty good at counting.” She continued. “I do not believe ANYONE just wakes up one morning and decides oh yippeee, to-day I shall ‘stuff up’. I don’t buy that. I reckon ‘stuff-ups’ can be made by us all due to so many things in our lives...Losing in love, losing a loved one, a relationship gone wrong. A job loss, missing out on a promotion. The trauma of pandemics, flood, fire, earthquakes...so so many life events can cause us to ‘stuff-up’ due to the emotional and mental impacts these situations create for us to deal with and cause us to follow and apathetic path, MAKING MISTAKES along our way.” Hmmm ... I tried to take all this in but I JUST HAD to ask Mum...”but Mum, if a person is appointed to a Public Office like ‘Miss Gladys’ was, HOW CAN THEY ‘STUFF-UP ...aren’t they beyond reproach?” Mum looked at me with her eyes rolling and said “Well Leems, it is MY BELIEF that irrespective of what office they might hold, these folk ARE ALSO SIMPLY HUMAN, and therefore do make the same ‘stuff-ups’ we can all be charged with as MERE MORTALS”.

(I didn’t like to mention Donald Trump!) Oh well, Mum and me will try the best we can to avoid ‘stuffing-up’ from now on...AND NOW, it is time for treats. Nite with many thoughts Leemo

MORE NORTHERN RIVERS JOBS AS NATIONALS

PLEDGE TO HALVE EMISSIONS BY 2030

The Clarence and Richmond Valleys are well placed to win great jobs from the Nationals in NSW Government’s new plan to attract more than $37 billion in investment while slashing carbon emissions by 50 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030, according to Clarence Nationals MP Chris Gulaptis.

“Gone are the days when you had to choose between jobs and the environment,” Mr Gulaptis said.

“The Clarence and Richmond Valleys have the people and the

technology to power us into a jobs-rich, low-emissions future including a Net Zero Plan for 2050.”

Mr Gulaptis said it was a plan where nobody would be left behind, with projections the attraction of private capital would support more than 9,000 jobs, save households about $130 on their electricity bills and help NSW become Australia’s first trillion-dollar state by 2030.

“One local example is the recent selection of the Richmond Valley as a potential site for a new

state of the art, thermal waste-to-energy facility bringing with it high paying jobs and skills,” Mr Gulaptis said.

Deputy Premier John Barilaro said regional communities will reap the rewards of the new industries set to emerge over the coming decades.

“The entire State will benefit from the economic and employment opportunities in low carbon technologies, and we will continue to take action in a way that delivers more jobs and more investment for

people in the city and in the bush,” Mr Barilaro said.

The Net Zero Plan: Stage 1 Implementation Update sets out the NSW Government’s action on climate change, including the State’s nation-leading EV strategy, Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap, the $750 million Net Zero Industry and Innovation Program and the NSW Waste and Sustainable Materials Strategy.

Industry Training Hub to connect students to job opportunities The Federal Government is connecting secondary students in the Clarence Valley and Mid North Coast to new job opportunities through the opening of an Industry Training Hub. Business NSW has been awarded the contract and has employed Ms Kerren Law to deliver Training Hub services to the region. This position will create better linkages between schools and local industry and help focus on developing skills for occupations most relevant to the region.

Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan said that improving opportunities for young people was a major priority of the Government.

“The new Training Hub will help tackle youth unemployment in the Clarence Valley and Mid North Coast region by working with, and encouraging Year 11 and 12 students, to build skills

Jane Laverty

and choose occupations in demand in our region,” Mr Hogan said.

“We want senior secondary school students to be well-placed to find employment when they leave school.”

“Importantly, this new Training Hub will help promote the many opportunities in the vocational education and training sector as a firstchoice career option.”

Industry Training Hub Career Facilitator Kerren Law said she is excited to

get started unpacking the Hub and establishing its programming.

“This is a brilliant opportunity for students to expand their vision of career possibilities beyond what they see and know,” Ms Law said.

“It’s important work, our young people are tomorrows future business, industry and community leaders.

Ideally students look at vocational education and training with fresh eyes, and weave this into

their career planning pathway.”

Business NSW Regional Manager Jane Laverty said they are really excited about what the Industry Training Hub can achieve for both young people and employers in the region who are looking to make the most of the Vocational Education & Training opportunity.

“Business leaders are very focused on their workforce development so this it is great timing for the Hub establishment,” Ms Laverty said.

The Grafton Training Hub is one of 10 being trialled across the country as part of the Australian Government’s $50.6 million investment to improve opportunities for year 11 and 12 students in regions with high youth unemployment.

Southern Cross launches new Speech Pathology facilities at Coffs Harbour Southern Cross University Coffs Harbour campus has unveiled its new $500,000 Speech Pathology facilities, including a new Health Clinic due to open to the public next year.

Coffs Harbour Head of Campus Professor Les Christidis said the new health facilities would support the local health sector as well as student learning.

“The Health Clinic for Speech Pathology is the first step towards Southern Cross University’s vision of establishing a major health clinic at the Coffs Campus that accommodates occupational therapy, psychology, youth mental health, nursing, exercise science, injury rehabilitation, Indigenous health, midwifery and telehealth practices,” he said.

Professor Christidis said Southern Cross University’s Speech Pathology degree has had a surge in applications since its launch at the Coffs Harbour campus in Session 1 2021, with local and national demand for qualified speech pathologists exceeding current supply.

“These state-of-the-art facilities include a Clinical Skills Audio Lab and Health Clinic, which will support industry-leading student experience and learning,” Professor Christidis said of the six-month project that engaged mostly local contractors and suppliers.

“This space is in one of the original buildings on Campus that was previously used for midwifery teaching.

Midwifery has now moved into Southern Cross University’s $12 million

Health Sciences Building, clearing the way for this halfa-million-dollar refurbishment to be completed,” he said.

“The 150m2 Clinical Skills Lab is an educational classroom space as well as a physical and computing laboratory, which includes high-definition computers with phonetics and linguistics software, high-fidelity audio, acoustic panels for soundproofing, cabinets of assessment and diagnostic equipment, and three dedicated computers which link to the Health Clinic audio and video capture system.”

Speech Pathology Lecturer Melissa Kemp said having

these high-tech rooms connected via high-definition video and audio gives students the best hands-on real-time training, as well as the ability to review footage and analyse clients’ communication skills for assessment and intervention purposes.

“Students will first learn to use the equipment with each other in a class setting and from mid-2022 we will be offering professionallysupervised speech pathology Health Clinic appointments to the Coffs Harbour community,” Ms Kemp said.

“Having this Health Clinic available to the public will be an important component of our students’ clinical work experience, and will offer a much-needed community health service for children and adults.”

Feedback from the Careers Team at Southern Cross University shows there are not enough speech pathology graduates to meet current demand from the Allied Health sector within the local market.

Employment growth projections by the Australian Department of Jobs and Small Business indicate the occupation group of Audiologists and Speech

Pathologists/Therapists will continue experiencing strong growth.

Southern Cross University Speech Pathology student Mia Reynolds, who originally studied the Diploma of Health at the Coffs Harbour campus last year, said she was thrilled when the University announced it would offer the Speech Pathology degree in Coffs from 2021.

“Being able to study Speech Pathology locally without having to move to the University’s Gold Coast campus has been amazing.

I’m thankful I can live locally and be surrounded by family and friends and get a quality degree while also keeping my job as a disability support worker,” Mia, 20, said.

“Our Speech Pathology lecturers are professionals who are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate and who give us a lot of individual support in our studies. It’s so amazing to study this in Coffs Harbour, to study in a regional area with these kinds of facilities.”

The Health Clinic at Coffs Harbour campus will complement Southern Cross University’s established Health Clinics at its Lismore and Gold Coast campuses.

Council weighs options on car park upgrade A CALL for more community consultation into the concept designs for the Pat Morton Precinct at Lennox Head was knocked back by Ballina Shire Council.

The council decided to move ahead with the design, looking at different options for the construction materials for the pathway in Options 1 and 2 of the plans.

At the July council meeting, council endorsed the draft Pat Morton Precinct - Draft Car Park and Shared Path Concept Design (the concept design) for the purposes of public exhibition and community comment.

The draft document provided four different planning options to upgrade the car park, including options to connect the shared paths which currently terminate at the northern and southern boundaries of the car park. The options also consider landscape features, constraints,

embellishments, and other items.

Pat Morton Lookout is a popular location for tourists and residents and supports recreational activities including whale watching, walking, hang-gliding, paragliding, bike riding, exercising, picnicking and small gatherings such as weddings and birthday parties.

The lookout also provides access to the National Surfing Reserve.

The lookout is also the location at which the following pathways converge: • The Coastal Walk which follows the coastline south from the lookout and connects to beaches, recreation nodes, access points and

other lookout areas • The northern side Coastal Shared Path, which connects the lookout to the Lennox Head village.

• The southern side Coastal Shared Path, which connects the lookout to Skennars Head, East Ballina and through to Ballina.

The concept design planning document, in

part, seeks to resolve the placement of a missing link between the two shared paths - north and south.

Option 1 provides a new path north of the car parking area. The edge of the car park area would be pulled back to the south provide more grassed area and to make provision for the path.

The pathway is 2.5m

wide and separated from the car parking pavement by a narrow grass verge.

Option 2 is very similar to Option 1 and provides for a 2.5m path with pathway along the northern edge of the car parking area. The difference is there is no grassed area between the path and carpark.

The pathway would be defined and separated from vehicles by wheel stops and pavement colour/patterning treatment. (Both Option 1 and Option 2).

“Options 1 and 2 avoid pedestrian and vehicle crossing points in the car park and provide the most functional connection between the paths to the north and south, and to stairs to the top of the headland,” the council report stated.

“Option 1 is preferred to Option 2, as the grass strip between the car park and the path provides better visual amenity, albeit this will add a small amount of additional maintenance activities.”

Loving Local gift cards

Scholarships supporting Indigenous students’ dreams

LISMORE City Council is offering local businesses the opportunity to join the new ‘Loving Local Gift Cards’ program, which is designed to make it easier for shoppers to spend their money in Lismore and help businesses recover from Covid and the lockdowns.

The pilot program, delivered by the Why Leave Town program, is a collaboration between Council and the Lismore Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

“We invite Lismore businesses – across retail, services, food, groceries, sports, health, culture and entertainment – to join the Loving Local Gift Cards program,”

INDIGENOUS students have many reasons to apply for a scholarship at Southern Cross University with hundreds of scholarships on offer for 2022.

Anthony Olive, Team Leader of the Indigenous Australian Student Services (IASS) at Southern Cross, said the University was proud of its strong Indigenous cohort, and is continually working increase Indigenous student participation in higher education through personalised support and decreasing financial barriers.

“On average our IASS team at Southern Cross University supports more than 400 Indigenous students annually with some form of scholarship,” Mr Olive said.

“These scholarships are deeply appreciated and very meaningful to our Indigenous student cohort, ranging from textbook bursaries of $150 right up to full time educational

Lismore City Council’s CBD Activation Officer Kathryn Gray said.

“It’s free and easy to sign up, get marketing material, and get involved in the Loving Local Gift Card network so customers can use the gift cards at your store. There are also opportunities for the gift cards to be used for prizes, sponsorship, corporate gifts and relief support.”

The gift cards will be available to buy at selected outlets, or Load Up Stores’. Customers will be able to load the card with money from as little as $10 to as much as $1000. To ensure the money remains in the community, the cards can only be used at participating Lismorebased businesses.

“We look forward to sharing more about the Loving Local Gift Cards soon in time for Christmas,” she said.

and accommodation scholarships of $2500 and $5000, and in 2022 these will increase to a top of $8000 a year over three years, with an increased Indigenous scholarship pool worth more than $1 million.”

Southern Cross University midwifery graduate Denae Nicholls recently thanked the IASS team for the financial support she received during her placement at Lismore Base Hospital.

“I am happy to say that I am now finished, my grades have been finalised, and I will be

receiving my AHPRA registration within the next couple of weeks to start my job down in Melbourne. I would not have been able to complete my final placement in becoming a midwife without the scholarship support from IASS and I am very grateful,” she said.

Current Bachelor of Midwifery student Rebecca Thorne is on her final placement and says she received two scholarships – one to attend the prestigious Australian College of Midwives 2021 Conference and the other

a cadetship through NSW Health, which has enabled her to work at the Tweed Hospital an additional 12 weeks on top of her university placements.

Rebecca is a proud Kunja woman living on Bundjalung country. She says it was following the birth of her own babies that she quit her 14-year career in fashion and enrolled in the Preparing for Success Program (PSP) at Southern Cross as a pathway to her dream of becoming a midwife.

Indigenous scholarships on offer include the ANZ Indigenous Student Scholarship worth $5000 a year over three years of full-time study, the Feros Care Nursing Scholarship worth $5000, and a Scholarship from the The City of Lismore worth $5000 scholarship for a local Indigenous resident from the Lismore region.

Light the Night for Leukaemia Foundation THE Leukaemia Foundation is proud to introduce their white lantern ambassador for Light the Night 2021, Garry Kafoa, who is honouring his own blood cancer journey next month.

Garry is a First Nations man from Northern NSW and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) 20 years ago.

During treatment, Garry recalls overhearing a physician saying, “this man is so sick, I don’t think he’s going to make it.”

Garry then immediately asserted to himself “I’m not going anywhere”.

Following a bone marrow transplant and a stay at the Leukaemia Foundation’s accommodation for treatment, he became cancer-free and is still in remission at the age of 64.

With a new lease on life, he has since poured himself into volunteering, working as a disability worker, and his music, which has become a very important

part of his life.

Garry has recently won numerous awards for his services to the community, and in 2013 was named the Ambassador for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander with Disability.

The foundation is thrilled to have Garry represent Light the Night on Saturday, October 16 as their white lantern ambassador.

Where to go in the event of a tsunami THE NSW SES has released maps showing evacuation areas in the event of a land-threat tsunami.

While the likelihood of a land-threat tsunami on the east coast of Australia is low, the maps show the areas where residents and workers would have to move to higher ground in

the event of a land-threat tsunami.

Marine-threat tsunamis occur once about every six years but are usually only dangerous to swimmers and boaters because of the dangerous currents.

There is no record of a land-threat tsunami in Australia since European settlement.

If there is a threat of land inundation from a tsunami, move to higher ground, at least 10 meters above sea level or one kilometer away from the coast and rivers.

New premises for Casino Laundromat

By Samantha Elley THERE is no way you will get Lorraine Webber retiring from her laundromat business.

Despite having to move Casino Laundromat from the premises she has been in for the past nearly 16 years, Lorraine has found a way to continue trading.

“When I find a door closes, I go round the back, break the lock and nick the beer,” she laughed.

The door that closed on her literally, was the laundromat’s old premises at 118 Walker Street.

“The landlord doubled my rent and added extra insurances,” Lorraine

said.

“I took it to court and they made me do mediation but I walked out with nothing to show for it.

“So I got my machines and I pooled my savings and super and am going to buy the building at 112 Walker Street.”

As Lorraine waits for the previous business to vacate, she is keen to set up the place, by adding new power points, plumbing and gas fittings.

“I am using all locals to do the work,” she said.

“And I should be up and running again in about mid-October.”

Lorraine got into the laundry business when she hurt her back after

20 years at Woolworths.

“I had treatment but left Woolworths and used my shares and long service leave to buy the laundry business,” she said.

“I’ve been here ever since.

“The people are great and my dad used to come down and sit in the laundry and talk to everyone.

“It’s amazing the stories you hear in a laundry.”

Lorraine said after the Rappville fires, she heard some tragic tales of hardship.

“We donated sheets and material and furniture to help people,” she said.

Her clientele range from local real estate

agents, NDIS clients, pubs and even the religious brothers out at Tabulam.

“One of the original owners of the washhouses comes and uses my dryers,” Lorraine said.

“He doesn’t like to peg his washing out.

“You get a great variety from kids to old age people.

“It doesn’t make much but I don’t need a million dollars to live on, I just need to pay my rent.”

Lorraine said she is looking forward to moving to her new premises and wants her clients to ‘watch this space’ as, as soon as she gets approval, she will be back up and laundering.

Tyalgum Public School representatives and

retired school principals Rebecca McGuren and Peter Meadows. The judges were amazed by the creativity and effort of every child who entered the competition.

“I am extremely impressed by the enormous number of entries received and the effort of every child who entered the competition,” said prize coordinator, Marianne Galluzzo.

“The judging was a very lively process, with special emphasis placed on selecting the most original and creative illustrations. This year’s theme set out to expand the imaginations of our aspiring young artists and allowed them to explore the form of self-expression

by highlighting key moments, developments, and motivations through portraiture.”

The prize is named after legendary local artist and art teacher Les Peterkin.

First place winners for the three age categories are: Matilda Bailey (5-7 yrs) from Murwillumbah East Public School; Alex Todan (8-10 yrs) from St Anthony’s Primary School; and Mahli Burdett (11-13 yrs) from Uki Public School.

Each prize winner will have the thrill of seeing their artworks displayed on the walls of the Tweed Regional Gallery at a new exhibition which opened last week and runs until November 28.

Essential funding supports grassroots communities ESSENTIAL Energy has provided local heroes and grassroots organisations which support communities with funding through its Community Choices Program.

In May, Essential Energy asked the community to help decide which local organisations needed a bit of ‘empowering’.

The popular program saw 20 per cent more votes this year compared with 2020, showing locals are eager to support these groups.

This year Essential Energy was able to provide $175,000 in support right across New South Wales and parts of southern Queensland.

“We’re thrilled with this opportunity to give back to the communities that we live and work in with our third annual Community Choices program, as we’ve seen the difference a little extra funding can make,” Essential Energy’s Community Relations Manager North Coast, Raelene Myers said.

“Pleasingly, 75 per cent of nominations were from new groups who heard about the program and decided to put their requests for extra support to the wider community.”

The following local organisations have been supported by Essential Energy’s 2021 Community Choices program:

• Pottsville Community Preschool Inc. $3000 • Tweed Coast Tigers AFC $2000 • Twin Towns Diggers Swimming Club $1500 • Cabarita Beach Surf Lifesaving Club Incorporated $1000 • Cudgen Headland Junior Rugby League Club Inc $900 • Saving Our Koalas Inc $600 • Northern Rivers Dirty Wheels Mountain Bike Club Incorporated $2500 • Casino Community Men’s Shed Incorporated $2000 • Tough Guy Book Club - Lismore Chapter $2000 • Lismore Basketball

Social Activities Club Incorporated $600 Raelene acknowledged that many areas have been doing it tough this year due to the continuing impacts of the Coronavirus health pandemic and major flooding in some areas.

“The last 12 months have been challenging for so many of the communities across our footprint. We understand how important these organisations within these communities are and we hope this Community Choices funding helps them continue to support our customers in these areas,” Raelene said.

This year, Essential Energy has introduced

an additional Small Communities category.

Local groups within its footprint who are in towns with populations of less than 20,000 people were able to nominate for this additional category by simply ticking a box during the nomination process.

The Small Communities category provided an additional opportunity for groups whose voting base may be smaller than groups in larger communities to be awarded funding.

The program has supported a total of 120 community groups in 2021. For a full list of grant recipients, please visit essentialenergy.

Great Southern Nights returns to regional NSW in 2022 THE NSW Government is amping up the State’s live music scene once again with the return of Great Southern Nights in March and April 2022.

ARIA-award winning indie pop artist Amy Shark and Yolngu rapper Baker Boy join Jessica Mauboy, Jimmy Barnes, Missy Higgins and Peking Duk as the first artists of the line-up, with shows to be held from March 18 to April 10, 2022.

Following its hugely successful debut in 2020, Great Southern Nights will again create jobs and revenue for artists, venues and crew across

metro areas and regional NSW, highlighting the State’s rich live music culture.

Local Nationals Member of the Legislative Council Ben Franklin said he hoped to see plenty of local venues get involved again for a spectacular line up of homegrown talent.

“Last year we had venues across Ballina, Brunswick, Byron Bay, Eltham, Lennox Head and Lismore all host fantastic live music shows to kick-start the entertainment industry and I hope to see this again for our local

venues in 2022,” Mr Franklin said.

“I would encourage all of our venues to get involved and submit an expression of interest – it’s open now on the Great Southern Nights website.

“Arts, tourism, entertainment and hospitality have been the hardest-hit industries since Covid-19 emerged and these gigs are an important way of helping get people back in jobs and back on their feet.

“Our region is renowned for its arts, culture and awesome entertainment scene and Great Southern Nights

is the perfect way to celebrate that, bring people together and lift all our spirits after a really tough couple of years.”

Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said Great Southern Nights would be welcomed by industry and music lovers alike following another challenging year of Covid-19 restrictions.

“Great Southern Nights celebrates the very essence of live music in Australia – it’s about getting artists on stages, gigs in venues, and audiences back

enjoying performances by our talented creatives right across the State,” Mr Ayres said.

“Last year more than 75,000 tickets were sold for 1100-plus gigs at over 300 venues, and we know the appetite is there to get out and enjoy live music in Sydney and regional NSW which is why we must continue our vaccination efforts in coming weeks and months.

“Great Southern Nights was designed with Covid-safety in mind, supporting shows of all sizes, in all kinds of live music venues, and giving industry a leg up

to get back to work.

“The NSW Government has delivered a range of support measures to businesses and individuals to lessen the impact of the latest Covid-19 restrictions, and earlier this year we delivered the $24 million Live Music Support Package to 162 venues demonstrating our commitment to the sector.”

TAFE offers course to meet skills shortage THE Murwillumbah community is set to benefit from an innovative new course delivered virtually through the TAFE NSW Murwillumbah Connected Learning Centre (CLC) next month.

The nationally recognised Certificate III in Community Pharmacy focuses on developing skilled pharmacy assistants for an industry that is expected to see increased growth due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the extra demand placed on pharmacies.

TAFE NSW Head Teacher of Community Pharmacy and Floristry Robyn Turnham said it was exciting to bring this new learning opportunity to the Murwillumbah community along with other regional communities across the state.

“Although the Certificate III in Community Pharmacy has been delivered virtually at Connected Learning Centres in Western NSW for many years, we have now developed a state-wide

model that can be rolled out to all 18 Connected Learning Centre locations in NSW,” Ms Turnham said.

“Students will learn in a virtual environment alongside their regional peers from other parts of NSW, with various support services available to them and access to state-of-the-art technology at their local TAFE NSW Connected Learning Centre.

“Research tells us that in all Connected Learning Centre locations there is at least one pharmacy, so students have the potential to undertake work placement or even gain local employment.”

Certificate III in Community Pharmacy graduate Monique Breed completed the course through the TAFE NSW Grenfell CLC and is now working as a Pharmacy

Assistant at a local pharmacy in Grenfell.

“I reached out to a local pharmacy to see if I could complete the practical components of the course at the pharmacy and it led to employment,” Ms Breed said.

“I loved learning at the TAFE NSW Grenfell CLC as it was very convenient and I could access the facilities when I needed

to. I learnt practical skills such as how to read and understand pharmaceutical terminology and labelling, discuss over the counter medications and products with customers, restock product shelves and set up visual merchandising displays.

“I would encourage others to study at their local TAFE NSW Connected Learning

Centre because the facilities are so fantastic, staff and teachers are very friendly and helpful and the skills you learn can certainly lead to employment.”

The Certificate III in Community Pharmacy will be offered part-time for 28 weeks starting in early October.

Turn off the taps to raise water awareness

Walking to fundraise for helicopter service A TEAM on the Northern Rivers is fundraising for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service by doing the Base to Base challenge.

The Bangers Base Walkers have registered to walk, run, ride or roll 599kms, the distance between the Lismore and Belmont helicopter bases, to raise funds for this worthwhile charity.

They have one month

to complete their mission, a journey that would take the rescue helicopter just under two hours.

But while they won’t be reaching the maximum speed of 310km/h like the rescue helicopter, they will be doing their part to help save lives across Northern NSW. The Westpac Rescue Helicopter provides urgent aeromedical

assistance to more than 1.5 million people, from pre-hospital emergencies such as motor vehicle, farming and industrial accidents and injuries around the home to inter-hospital transfers of critically ill or injured patients such as newborn babies, cardiac patients, or spinal injuries.

As a flying intensive care unit, the service can stabilise patients on the scene or in the

air before safely and rapidly delivering them to the most appropriate hospital.

All funds raised on this mission in October will help keep the rescue helicopters ready to respond to those who need it.The team aims to raise $2000.

Golden celebrations decreased due to Covid

By Samantha Elley OUR previous story of a Covid-celebrated golden wedding anniversary (The Northern Rivers Times, September 9) brought another incident to light, of the Behn family, from Evans Head.

“When I read your story about the Gills and realised the similarities, husband named Doug, five children and celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary, I had to get in touch,” Di Behn said.

“We had planned (the celebrations) months prior, sending out invites to 80 people around Australia.

“A lot of places were booked, bringing money to town.

“We had planned to have a reception in the (Club Evans) RSL function room.”

Di said there was to be a huge, beautiful garland of balloons and special candles had been made up with the date of August 14, 1971 to honour their wedding date.

“We had also made up chocolate almond

boxes and bought special decorations for the table,” Di said.

“The kids had made up a 240 slide show with the music of our era that we had around our wedding.”

A videographer was

booked to take memories of the day.

However, as the date drew nearer and the borders started closing, guests were unable to make it.

“The RSL said why not have the local guests

from Woodburn, Evans and Broadwater, which was about 50 people,” Di said.

“So we got all the tables organised 1.5 metres apart and everyone was prepared to wear a mask.

“We had everything down to a fine art.”

Then four days before their big event, a man and his two sons from Rose Bay visited the area, who turned out Covid positive, shutting the whole region down.

“On our anniversary day we couldn’t have anyone over,” Di said.

“It was Doug, me and my 90-year-old mum who lives with us.”

People didn’t forget, however, and Di said by the end of the day she felt worn out with all the attention, albeit from a distance.

“We had texts all day and people were ringing us,” she said.

“Flowers were delivered and a big hamper box with a gourmet lunch that was delivered.

“I’d set the table as we would have done at the RSL. “A courier came with a large array of helium balloons, one big one was a gold heart with 50 on it.”

Di said, despite the situation, it ended up being a good day.

“We did a FaceTime with the kids in the afternoon,” she said.

“This is a postponement for me.

“We will probably celebrate next year when Doug turns 70 on Anzac Day and have it at the RSL Club.”

Pro training at sports centre A NEW pro training basketball shooting machine has arrived at the Ballina Indoor Sports Centre (BISC) to provide the ultimate training solution for coaches and players.

The Dr. Dish All-Star Basketball Shooting Machine is now available for hire at the BISC, along with half and full sports court hire.

“The shooting machine provides coaches, basketballers and casual players with a fun way to train while improving their form and increasing a players shooting percentage.” council’s coordinator community facilities Roberta O’Brien said.

“We wanted to add value for players, to help them find better ways to train. The machine enables two-way communication with players to track their progress on their smart phone, it monitors

Enter survey and win a chance to drive a Tesla

shooting data, and combines ball handling, strength and conditioning along with shooting drills in the one workout.

“Basketball is one of the most popular sports played at the BISC, it is sure to excite players of all ages and with over 150 workouts to choose from, there are endless ways players can improve their basketball

performance. It is such a smart piece of training equipment to now have available at the centre.”

Players can book the machine for as little as $20 per hour, discounts may apply for community and not-forprofit groups.

To find out more, phone the Ballina Indoor Sports Centre on 6681 0599.

FOLLOWING the positive response to the news Lismore City Council will build a solar carpark with two EV charging station, council is asking community members to complete a survey on electronic vehicles.

Lismore City Mayor Vanessa Ekins said the survey was designed to find out what barriers prevented NSW Northern Rivers residents from buying an electric vehicle (EV).

The survey seeks to understand exactly what people would like to know about electric vehicles, what

type they’d like to buy (and what’s stopping them), as well as other questions relating to price, range anxiety, charging stations and more.

Dr Muriel Watt, head of Zero Emissions Byron’s Electric Vehicle team, which is running the survey, said strategies designed to roll out electric vehicles in cities, didn’t necessarily work in regional areas like the Northern Rivers.

“We’re distributing the survey throughout Lismore, Byron, Ballina, Tweed and Richmond Valley local government

areas with the intent to advocate for residents of these areas to make EV ownership easier across our region,” she said.

As an incentive to participate in the survey, which must be completed by October 31, electric car rental company EVEE (www. evee.com.au) is offering ‘A Day in an EV’ as a prize for a randomly selected winner. Survey results, and the winner, will be released in early November.

The survey can be accessed through council’s website at www.lismore.nsw.gov. au.

New citizens happy to call Lismore home

By Tonia Dynan FOUR young children were among 30 people to become Australian citizens at Lismore City Council chambers recently.

To mark the 20th anniversary of Australian Citizenship Day, Lismore Mayor Vanessa Ekins inducted the new citizens in two ceremonies, with conferees coming from 18 different countries, including the Philippines, Iran, the Netherlands, Iraq, Britain, Thailand, Nepal, the USA, India, Vietnam, Italy, Chile and Brazil.

The Sra family, from India, have waited about four years to become

Aussies.

Jaspreet and his wife Deepinder have been married for 11 years and have two children, Aggam and Rehaan.

“This is our new home, so we’ll stay here,” Jaspreet said.

“We want to show our allegiance to this country, so we want to stay here for a long time, forever.

“It’s better to get our citizenship and contribute to this country.”

Jaspreet and Deepinder don’t have any family in Australia but they are hoping Jaspreet’s mother would come from India to visit the grandchildren.

Deepinder originally came to Australia to

study at Charles Sturt University and feel in love with the country.

Cr Ekins said citizenship ceremonies were always very emotional.

“These people been on a long journey to

come to Australia, and to choose Lismore for their home is really warming,” she said.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing the contribution that they make to our community.”

Parking and landscaping coming to Mullumbimby’s Stuart St THE next stage of the Green Spine project in Stuart Street, Mullumbimby will start on October 11.

The Green Spine was a key priority identified in the Mullumbimby Masterplan, produced in cooperation with representatives from community groups.

The aim of the project is to formalise parking on the southern section of Stuart Street along

with an on-road bike lane in the residential area, as well as landscaping including the planting of what will grow to be an avenue of green, shady, native trees.

Byron Shire Council has advised residents and businesses on Stuart Street that 20 trees, including golden cane palms and invasive African Tulip trees, will be removed.

Phil Holloway,

Director Infrastructure Services, said council did not take the removal of trees lightly, however many had been privately planted on council’s road reserve and new landscaping plans would incorporate even more trees that were native and would provide better habitat for wildlife.

“Of course we know the value our community puts on trees and some will say that we should

not be removing existing trees to plant more but nine of these are invasive species and toxic to some bees and the majority of the others are not native either,” Mr Holloway said.

“We will be building new garden beds and planting 28 trees that are mature nursery stock that have been selected because they are appropriate native species for this area and

will grow up to provide shade and habitat for birds and animals.”

The Green Spine project also includes: • Line marking for car parks in the commercial zone • A land-scaped transition zone to reflect the change in speed limit from 50km/hr to 30km/ hr • On-road bike lane in the residential area • Footpaths extended

on both sides of Stuart Street to Fern Street.

Letters have been distributed to businesses and residents in the area and the Mullumbimby Residents Association and the Chamber of Commerce have been notified.

The project will take about two months with the aim being to finish in early-mid December.

Jacaranda Jill back in starring role

While she watching over Market Square festivities and posing for selfies with the hoards of festival fans that year, some dimwit decided to set fire to her beautiful pink tulle skirt so she was unable to participate in starring role in the grand float procession.

The community came out in force to help fund and repair Jill giving her a makeover including a new skirt now in a brilliant shade of purple to really give her that jacaranda spirit.

Jill was set to make her star appearance the following year in 2020 but her opportunity was quashed again when COVID-19 struck cancelling the festival for the first time in its 87-year-old history.

RELIABLE ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS IN GRAFTON

While she still won’t be able to realise her dream in leading the float procession this year either (COVID restrictions has seen the procession postponed again until 2022), the new look Jacaranda Jill will be welcoming festival guests at the special COVID-safe Market Square precinct.

Visitors will not only be able to photograph Jacaranda Jill in all her finery, they will also have the opportunity to take a memento of the iconic doll home.

Who doesn’t remember the glittering kewpie dolls on a cane?

These will be available exclusively from the JACA HQ shop which will be loaded up with kewpie merchandise during the festival.

This new series gets a big tick for obediently dispensing cheery and sweet stories. Animal lovers will get an abundance of dogs, along with close-ups of their reactions, to swoon over as families and folks arrive at the Animal Welfare League, in NSW, to be matched with a canine friend. Dr Chris Brown (pictured), who had viewers giddy thanks to his charm and handsomeness on Bondi Vet, chronicles the journeys of the animals and would-be companions as the series’ narrator, ensuring the attention is on the four-legged friends and not on his charming smile.

In tonight’s premiere, we meet a gentle giant. Some of the kids are pretty adorable, too.

Laced with a big whack of cynicism, a generous slice of wit, and a swathe of experts, it’s no wonder Gruen – the only show in Australia that dissects ads and marketing – is returning tonight for its 13th season. Whether you are an ad junkie, work in marketing, have a soft spot for host Wil Anderson (pictured above), or simply enjoy watching experts discuss and reveal the secrets behind their craft, it’s a reliably entertaining and educational 30 minutes. The tone can be serious, but most of the time the panellists are keen to entertain the audience. Joining Anderson for the new season are Russel Howcroft, Todd Sampson and Dee Madigan, to name just a few.

Anita Rani (pictured) is the investigative host and empathetic ear in this four-part series, premiering tonight. She meets ordinary people who have been caught in some of the biggest, most traumatic events in memory, helping them find the person that helped save their lives. In tonight’s first instalment we meet Karl, who was on a train at King’s Cross station in London when it was bombed in 2005, and Emina, who left war-torn Sarajevo as a four year old. Bring tissues.

MLA seeks industry champions for new Red Meat Ambassadors program Applications are now open for Meat & Livestock Australia’s (MLA) 2021 Red Meat Industry Ambassadors Program, an intensive development opportunity that offers participants training in community engagement, media, and social media, providing tools and techniques to build trust with consumers.

The program is designed for producers and people in industry support roles throughout the red meat supply chain, with successful participants joining MLA’s alumni of ambassadors across Australia.

MLA Managing Director, Jason Strong, said positioning the red meat industry as professional and progressive on issues

critical to our success is a top priority and a key driver behind the program.

“The Red Meat Ambassadors program has been developed in consultation with industry to create a network of industry champions who have the skills, knowledge and confidence to engage with the community to ensure the wider Australian population outside of agriculture recognises the vital role our industry plays in food production and trusts us to deliver high value, high quality products and to feel good about eating red meat,” Mr Strong said.

“We are seeking people who are passionate about the red meat industry and are committed to contributing positively

to build relationships with those outside of our industry by sharing their story.

“MLA’s consumer sentiment research shows our industry has great support from the Australian community, but we need to be proactive in reaching out and engaging with them on the issues and concerns which matter

Red Meat Industry Ambassador Hugh Dawson

most to them. This program will equip people in the industry to do just that.”

To find out more about the program and its requirements, and to submit an Expression of Interest, visit the MLA website.

Red Meat Industry Ambassador Hugh Dawson Head stockman on ‘Beetaloo Station,’ a beef breeding operation in the NT, Hugh Dawson, said it was important for the people on the ground to tell the industry’s story to ensure it’s told accurately.

“We need to be on the front foot sharing authentic and transparent stories of agriculture so the wider community can make an informed decision on how they perceive the red meat industry,” Hugh said.

“I’m keen to show people that animal

welfare is front and centre of what we do, because a productive industry hinges on having animals that are happy and healthy.

“Through social media we’re able to reach metropolitan areas, which is an important means of attracting support for red meat from outside the industry.”

Red Meat Industry Ambassador Kate McBride

Fifth-generation producer from a sheep station in western NSW, Kate McBride, said sharing experiences helps people in the industry realise they aren’t alone.

“Seeing other producers as colleagues rather than competitors is really important because we have to work together to improve our industry,” Kate said.

“Now more than ever we need to connect with people outside our industry. People don’t understand what they’re eating let alone where is comes from, so it’s up to us to help bridge the gap.

“I genuinely believe that people in the cities want to engage with us, so making it simple for them to understand and showing off our way of life has been great.”

NSW Farmers put harvest safety in the spotlight Long hours, machine safety and COVID will be on the agenda with NSW Farmers’ Harvest Ready webinars, hosted by the recently launched Farm Safety Advisory Program this Tuesday and Wednesday.

Upcoming grain harvests are set to be busy, and NSW Farmers is urging farmers to make sure they’re across important safety practices by attending the one-hour webinars, which will host the likes of SafeWork NSW and NSW Department of Primary Industries.

NSW Young Farmers Chairman Mitch Highett said farmers should not forget about on-farm safety amid

the excitement of a nationwide bumper crop season, which is set to be 13 per cent bigger than the 10-year average.

“Labour shortages are a known challenge for the

upcoming harvest, and this could cause farmers to work longer and harder,” Mr Highett said.

“Farmers need to be aware of dangers associated with fatigue

RURAL NEWS 45 ALDI TO RANGE HOME GROWN LOW GI SUGAR From the 29th of September, Sunshine Sugar’s Low GI sugar will be available in ALDI stores across Australia.

This particular sugar has been in high demand since the product featured in a United Nations award for best SMEs (Small Medium Enterprise) in the world as part of the Food Systems Summit 2021.

The nucane™ process is an Australian innovation that has been implemented by the only 100% Australian owned sugar brand, Sunshine Sugar. The wholesome sugar that retains naturally occurring and beneficial antioxidants is made at the Condong mill in the northern NSW Tweed Valley. Being low in GI (Glycaemic Index) means that it is more slowly digested, absorbed, and metabolised – resulting in lower and slower rise in blood glucose.

Sunshine Sugar CEO, Mr Chris Connors

said; “Since the United Nations Award announcement we have had very strong interest from consumers across Australia. With ALDI coming on board as a national stockist, we can now offer Sunshine Low GI Sugar to people across the country who are actively seeking out healthier choices.”

ALDI’s motto ‘Good Different’ makes them a great fit for the national release of the Sunshine Low GI Sugar retail product given their commitment to supporting local

industry.

“ALDI has a strong commitment to sourcing products from Aussie farmers, producers and manufacturers;” said ALDI Australia Merchandising and Buying Director, Katherine Norris.

“We are proud to be working with our local producer, Sunshine Sugar, to bring such an innovative product to Aussie shoppers,” said Mrs Norris.

NSW FARMERS CALLS FOR CLARITY ON

ALTERNATIVE PROTEIN PRODUCTS The state’s leading agriculture body has told a Senate Inquiry that plant-based proteins should be banned from using words like “meat”, “beef”, “lamb” and “milk”.

NSW Farmers told the Senate Inquiry into Definitions of Meat and other Animal Products that alternative proteins will be part of our future, but the word “meat” needs to be protected.

The organisation recommended that images of animals should be prohibited on alternative protein labels, that those labels should bear a clear statement declaring it is not “meat” or “milk”, and that those terms should only be used in reference to flavouring, i.e. “beef flavoured plant based burgers”.

NSW Farmers President James Jackson said while there was a place for the alternative and plant-based protein sector, clear labelling was needed to protect existing industries.

“When you hear

the word ‘meat’, you think cow or sheep or chicken,” Mr Jackson said.

“There is a growing demand for non-meat alternatives and NSW Farmers supports further research and development into agricultural products including alternative proteins, but at the end of the day ‘meat’ means ‘meat’.

“We believe there is room in the marketplace for both animal and plant-based proteins, but there needs to be clear labelling in place.

Research from the Australian Farm Institute shows that the demand for protein will be so great by 2050 that animal agriculture won’t be able to meet it alone, and alternative proteins will be complementary – rather than competitors – to traditional industries.

“We’re committed to growing our agriculture sector to $30 billion by 2030 and this will involve new opportunities such as alternative proteins,” Mr

Jackson said.

“But we must remember that demand for our world-class Australian meat both here and abroad is very strong, and we need to protect that reputation that has been built on by the R&D and marketing that industry and government has paid for.”

In 2018-19 Australia’s red meat and livestock industry contribution to GDP totalled $17.6 billion, driven by the demand for protein from global markets. During that time, the Australian red meat and livestock industry employed approximately 434,000 people. The Australian alternative protein sector generated $150 million in Australian retail sales and supported 265 jobs during the same period.

The opportunities for our grain and horticulture producers to feed into the protein market are currently small but have the opportunity to grow considerably over the next 30 years.

Applications for the Supply Chain Support Grant are now open.

I encourage eligible primary producers in targeted industries impacted by the February and March 2021 storms and floods in the Lismore City, Kyogle and Tweed Shire Local Government Areas to apply.

Applications close 2 PM, Thursday, 3 March 2022.

THE ROAD TO OPPORTUNITY FOR AUSTRALIAN CANOLA – 2030 OUTLOOK Structural changes in the global market are set to bring future growth opportunities for Australia’s canola industry, according to a newly released industry report.

With global and Australia canola prices already breaking records in 2021, the report, by agribusiness banking specialist Rabobank, says Australia’s canola industry has more potential upside ahead with policies to curb emissions in North America and Europe expected to lift global demand for oilseeds, and in particular canola, through to 2030.

Over the next decade, government initiatives to curb emissions in the northern hemisphere will fundamentally change, and be the key drivers of, the global canola market, the bank says in the report Global Canola Opportunities in the Sustainable-Fuel Future: Is Australia fit and ready?

“This will present opportunities for Australian canola exports,” says report co-author, Rabobank agriculture analyst Dennis Voznesenski. “In our base case outlook, these are modest initially, but grow as a result of structural shifts in the global industry in 2024/25 due to Canada’s falling exportable surplus and then again from 2026/27 onward due to the European Union’s increasing canola import needs.”

Global supply of canola in the current 2021/22 season has been severely reduced by drought in Canada, the world’s largest canola exporter, and by continued heavy EU import demand. And this has been benefiting

Australia and other exporters, the report says.

Canola prices domestically are edging towards the AUD$1000 a tonne mark while overseas markets already broke through that level earlier in the year.

A substantial lift in global canola production is expected next season (2022/23) however, the report says, driven by improved seasonal conditions and elevated prices, which will expand acreage worldwide.

“Both will contribute to a large re-supply globally,” Mr Voznesenski said.

“However, in 2024/25, we expect new Canadian crushing capacity to come online to supply a growing renewable diesel sector across North America and this will reduce Canada’s exportable surplus, primarily to pricesensitive markets in Asia and Mexico, but also to Europe.”

Canada typically produces close to 30 per cent of the world’s canola and accounts for around 64 per cent of global exports.

“Then from 2026/27 onwards,” Mr Voznesenski said, “we expect sizeable reductions in the EU’s use of palm oil as a feedstock for biodiesel as it is phased out to meet sustainability commitments. The feedstock gap created will deliver an opportunity for even greater use of canola in the EU. Even under favourable European growing conditions, we could see EU import demand for canola then rise to levels similar to those of recent drought years.”

Both these factors will lift global demand for canola, the report says.

However just how much Australian canola, and canola prices, benefit will depend on a number of variables. These include how quickly the EU phases out palm oil in biofuels and how much Canadian canola exports drop, as well as how much global production grows and what additional sustainability requirements may be placed on Australian canola.

“While the road to 2030 for canola contains many uncertainties, we can be sure that the global exportable surplus is on a downward trajectory. And this will create opportunities for the Australian canola industry,” Mr Voznesenski said. “In years when global production significantly underperforms, which it inevitably will, shortages will result in even greater opportunities for Australia.

“Australia can lift canola production, and it will continue to have an export surplus, potentially much larger in periods of supportive price signals and favourable seasonal conditions.

However, its capacity to fully capitalise on the opportunities presenting over the course of the decade will depend on meeting sustainability credentials and being ‘fit’ for the future global market.”

Australian production Australian area planted to canola has grown from a modest 100,000 hectares in the early 1990s – representing less than one per cent of total winter cropping area – to an average 2.5 million

hectares and almost 12 per cent of winter cropping area this past decade, the report says.

“The availability of more resilient varieties, hybrid and genetically-modified (GM) in particular, and the widespread adoption of crop rotations – which use canola as a beneficial break crop in cereal crop programs – and no-till farming have supported the expansion,” Mr Voznesenski said.

The price ratio between canola and cereals has also been critical to the expanded adoption of canola in Australia’s winter cropping program. “In particular, we have seen lifts in the pricing of canola relative to wheat and barley causing a sustained step-up in average planted area.”

Incentivised by good price prospects and supported by early and good season rainfall, Australia’s planted canola area increased 25 per cent year-on-year in 2021 from 2.4 million to 2.9 million hectares, 15 per cent above the five-year average.

The capacity to expand further however, is limited by a number of factors, the report says, including the need to limit canola in cropping rotations to manage disease risks, lack of additional available cropping land for expansion and the fact canola production is most reliable in medium to higher-rainfall zones (which are showing a drying tendency).

“Notwithstanding these limitations, and if seasonal and market conditions are favorable in any given year, there is the potential for Australia to increase planting to 2.5 million hectares on average in

‘Fit’ for future markets Moving towards 2030, the Australian canola industry will continue to have two primary export outlets in any given year, the report says – Europe (for accredited canola) and Asia, where sustainability requirements by governments are to date minimal.

“These options will not be mutually exclusive and, in fact, in years when EU production is high and large volumes of imports are not required there, the industry will need to price itself competitively to capture Asian sales,” Mr Voznesenski said.

“Also, we don’t discount the growing demand for accredited canola in Asia, driven by the commercial/private sector rather than regulation.”

In that regard, the report says, Australian canola will need to ensure it will be ‘fit’ to take advantage of these future export

opportunities, in particular in meeting the sustainability credentials which will be increasingly required in export markets, especially Europe.

Mr Voznesenski said a large proportion of Australian canola was already fit for the EU market by way of International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) accreditation, but being prepared for further changing requirements would be key to being “market ready” into the future.

“Being mindful of changing EU restrictions on agri chemicals that can be used in production, potential changes to the EU’s views on which canola varieties are considered non-GM, and also carbon intensity scrutiny as part of the region’s Fit for 55 ambitions to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 55 per cent in 2030 compared with 1990 levels, are all going to be critical to capturing the European canola opportunity,” he said.

By nature of its geographical location, Australia will already be at a disadvantage on the carbon front in the future compared with competitors such as the Ukraine, Mr Voznesenski said, given the distance – and associated carbon emissions of transport – that Australian canola has to travel to Europe.

Looking out past 2030, the report says, EU biodiesel demand – and hence canola demand – is expected to ease as the region transitions to electric and hydrogenpowered transport.

the short term, and even to three million tonnes on average towards the end of the decade, with favourable years seeing even more upside,” Mr Voznesenski said.

The report forecasts average Australian area planted to canola to increase by the end of the decade, with production averaging just over four million metric tonnes by 2030 and exports averaging 2.9 million metric tonnes (up 23 per cent from the five-year average of 2016/17 to 2020/21).

The greatest increase in planted area, and therefore production, in Rabobank’s outlook is in the already dominant canola-growing states of New South Wales and Western Australia.

Call for protection of farmland in race to Net Zero NSW Farmers has called for the clear protection of agricultural land as the state moves to slash emissions by 2030.

While moves to increase private sector investment, grow the economy and lower power prices were welcomed, NSW Farmers Vice President Xavier Martin said the protection of prime agricultural land had to be a fundamental part of the plan.

“As they say, they’re not making any more dirt, and we need to ensure that prime agricultural land is protected because once you dig it up or pave over it, it’s gone forever,” Mr Martin said.

“We are not against development; we are simply asking for the right development in the right place. The Liverpool Plains is a clear example of where the interests of agriculture and mining

come into conflict – it is critical the NSW Government work to protect against the loss and fragmentation of valuable farmland.”

Attracting investment into the state – especially into the agriculture sector – would be welcome news for farmers looking to innovate and grow their businesses this decade, Mr Martin said. However, he warned that there were still concerns about the placement of large-scale renewable energy and transmission installations.

“We remain concerned about regional renewable energy zones – there is clearly scope for this sort of infrastructure, but we must ensure it does not displace food and fibre from quality land,” Mr Martin said.

“A short-term cash grab may be enticing to some producers, but that will have the larger effect of reducing our

farmgate output, and a loss of land that can never be recovered.”

Mr Martin said he was “cautiously optimistic” about the plan, which promised to double the economy and halve emissions by 2030, but food security had to be a key consideration.

“It is ambitious, and we’ll need continued research and development investment to make some of these emissions-reduction technologies a reality,” Mr Martin said.

“It’s promising to see the government take a ‘technology not taxes’ approach, as a big part of this will be access to new markets and technologies.

“NSW Farmers welcomes the Minister’s commitment to action that is based on science and economics – not ideology.”

FAIRER METERING FOR SMALL WATER USERS The NSW Government will make it easier for up to 500 small water users to access water under new rules which deliver more consistency to the Government’s metering policy.

Up to 500 small water users who take water under a domestic and stock water access licence will soon be exempt from non-urban metering rules, fixing an inconsistency in the NSW Government’s metering policy.

Minister for Water, Property and Housing Melinda Pavey said the exemption means the metering rules will apply consistently to small works that take domestic and stock water, regardless of which valley they live in.

“Old rules in some valleys meant small landholders who take water for domestic and stock were required to install metering equipment, while landholders in other valleys were not” Mrs.

Pavey said.

“The exemption will apply to pumps smaller than 100mm and bores that are smaller than 200mm, which are used solely to take water under a domestic and stock water access licence.”

The exemption will not apply to works that supply town water, take water from at risk groundwater sources or properties with other metered works.

The exemption once drafted will apply until 1 December 2024.

The Department will directly contact water users who will be affected by the exemption.

The exemptions do not impact the Government’s commitment to licence and meter 95 per cent of water take capacity in NSW. Mrs. Pavey urged all water users to contact a certified meter installer now to ensure they’re well on the pathway to compliance when the Natural Resource

Access Regulator (NRAR) begin enforcing the new rules.”

Certified meter installers who can advise, order, and install the necessary equipment for water users can be found via www. irrigationaustralia. com.au.

The non-urban metering rules compliance dates are: • December 1, 2020 – for pumps 500mm and greater in diameter.

• December 1, 2021Northern Inland region.

• December 1, 2022 –Southern Inland region.

• December 1, 2023 – Coastal NSW. For more information about the non-urban metering framework, visit www.industry.nsw. gov.au/water/metering.

NORTHERN RIVERS REGIONAL BUSINESS AWARDS FINALISTS ANNOUNCED The NSW Business Chamber is pleased to announce the finalists for the 2021 Northern Rivers Regional Business Awards.

The Northern Rivers Business Awards recognises excellence in business, leadership, entrepreneurship, sustainability, innovation, business growth and employment practices across diverse areas of business including manufacturing, trades, health care, community, retail, tourism and business services.

“The state-wide awards program is a result of the strong relationships between Business NSW and Local Chambers of Commerce alliance partners. The awards program provides an exceptional opportunity to celebrate excellence across the local business community and showcase their success at a local, regional and state level,” said Business NSW Regional Manager, Jane Laverty.

“Encompassing in the 7 Local Government Areas of Tweed, Byron, Ballina, Kyogle, Lismore, Richmond Valley and the Clarence Valley, the 2021 Northern Rivers Regional Business Awards celebrate business excellence across our region, with winners to be announced at an Awards Celebration event on Saturday 23 October.” said Jane Laverty.

Over the past few years, the Northern Rivers Region has seen our best and brightest acknowledged for their achievements regionally, and also on

the State stage including Brookfarm, Stone & Wood and BeeInventive (Flowhive) who was crowned for Innovation Excellence and awarded the top gong of State Business of the Year winner at the State awards in 2018.

“Judging by the calibre of our 130 entries this year, I am confident that we will again have the opportunity to represent Team Northern Rivers at the State Awards where our winners compete against 12 other regions from across NSW and Sydney” said Mrs Laverty.

“Due to Covid restrictions we made the decision to host the Regional Business Awards as an online production event (if the ARIA’s can do it so can we) which enables all finalists and their staff to be part of the evening and celebrate in the comfort of their own loungeroom or appropriate local venue.

It’s different, but that is something we are all getting used to and we felt it was too important an occasion to not pull out all the stops possible to celebrate our businesses of excellence”. Mrs Laverty said.

“With the support of our partners NRMA Insurance, Southern Cross University, TURSA, TAFE NSW, Clarence Property, Sourdough Business Pathways, Northern Rivers Review and Northern Rivers Provedore we are sending each of our Finalists a Finalists Cheer Box full of local goodies and surprises to help them celebrate the

Ingredients

Aries Mar21 21 - Apr ARIES MAR - APR 19 20 Regardless of how you feel, restrict any spontaneous emotional outbursts to a minimum. Prone to impulsive behavior, you are likely to provoke others into making a stand against you, which is to be avoided, far better not to let trouble or conflicts develop in the first place! Seek relief in some form of outlet, go running or cycling, or alternatively just rest in a stress free environment way from the people who may antagonize you. Once you get distracted, it’s much easier to act cool and in control. Your argumentative nature can quickly turn your relationship into a battleground. You lack fairness and sensitivity - pull yourself together! If you need to argue do so, but only when you feel strongly, not because of your moodiness. You don’t want to upset those you care about most, so take a deep breath and refrain from saying anything you’re likely to regret later.

Taurus Apr - May TAURUS APR 2021 - MAY 20 21 Make a point of conserving your energy. You’re unnecessarily prone to squander any reserves you possess with stubborn and bad tempered behavior and get yourself worked about nothing.

Pause to think and reconsider what’s really important to you and what is not! It’s possible that deliberate confrontation at work or in your private life is justified but careful consideration of the situation is important. You discover that sometimes taking a step back is necessary to further advance your point of view. Any extreme resentment won’t do your love life any good. If your relationship is unduly stressed with needless tussles and your attitude alienates your partner. Control yourself a bit more! If you’re single, it’s possible such brusque conduct works quite well - to pick someone up. But nobody will want to stay around you for too long, if you continue to behave like this.

GEMINI MAYMay 21 - JUNE Gemini 22 - 20 June 23 You’re in a fortunate position and able to exploit your full potential. You need to pay attention to how your conduct impacts on others. You benefit by being stronger, more confident than you usually are, others may find your enthusiasm rather intrusive but you’re unlikely to pay too much attention to their wishes as you forge ahead with your own ideas.

Your new-found assertiveness attracts some potential love interest and enhances existing relationships or may ultimately lead you to look elsewhere. You’re able to positively resolve long standing matters with your lover before they intensify any further. If you’ve been in a relationship for a prolonged period, you might want to think about making it permanent. If you’re single the next date - could be a crucial one. Whether it results in a proposal of marriage or a new relationship – love and romance are on the agenda!

Cancer Jun - Jul CANCER JUN 21 -24JULY 22 22 Although you feel stronger than usual, and easily able to confront any issues you are faced with, you feel on edge as several people challenge you and make various requests. It is advisable that you show restraint if you get involved in an argument, and don’t give in to your ability to assert yourself but aim for compromise. Otherwise you may be forced to either retreat or make enemies. Above al, it’s important not to become too entrenched and stubborn as this can have an adverse effect on you and the people around you. Your love life can be unfavourably affected by your deeply passionate feelings, which could easily cause tension and clashes with your partner.

Alternatively, you might find that love-making can be a great help in easing the situation between you, but any arguments that might possibly be on-going are best left till later. Ultimately conflicts can’t be resolved by sex alone.

Leo Jul2323- AUG - Aug LEO JUL 22 23 You’re careful and show persistence when dealing with problems. Your increased vitality and improved self-confidence has positive effects on everyone you meet. You’re able to complete any new tasks either alone or as part of a team. As expected, the suggestions you make are acceptable to others who tend to agree with you.

Use this influence to achieve your desires, remain steadfast, true to your aims and they’re likely to be met with approval by those people in your life that matter most to you. Your ambition cannot be overlooked, especially not in regard to your love life.

You’re selfless and attentive; you’re able to discern any sign of desire in your lover. But be careful you don’t become too demanding! This could easily backfire. You’re confident and charming; pamper your lover, they are then much more likely to respond well to your own desires and needs.

Virgo Aug2324 - Sep VIRGO AUG - SEP 22 22 Assert yourself and others follow your lead. You don’t have to be too concerned about getting your own way, the stance you take is overwhelmingly convincing with regard to most matters you have to deal with. So consider discussing everything that is important while you are in such convincing form. Be determined but not obsessive about certain issues, if you find some situations problematic then move on and take a different tack. Expand your field of expertise you’re likely to succeed regardless. Your sensitivity and richness of ideas make you great company, easy to have fun with. The time seems right to show more confidence in your personal abilities. It will pay off, particularly as you’re manner is sincere; whether recounting amusing stories, impressing a new date, a spontaneous trip or a romantic evening with your lover – your creative flair is unlimited!

LIBRA SEP - OCT 22 23 Libra Sep2323 - Oct You use your abundant energy in a domineering manner. You’ll discover that such a wilful waste of physical and emotional energy is not the answer to everything. Instead, you have to keep your temper in control and if that doesn’t work out, use your energy to motivate others. At times all this can be exhausting. If you do any exercise, and do not want to end up on the injury list, listen to the signals your body is giving you and do not place yourself under any undue stress. Rising energy levels affect your love life and generate a lot of passion.

Avoid arguments; the passion you engender could create the opposite of what you desire. Don’t be too impulsive; think carefully before starting a quarrel with your lover. If you’re single; don’t do anything too outrageous, take things slowly, don’t alienate the very person who may be important to you.

Scorpio Oct2324- NOV - Nov SCORPIO OCT 21 20 You inspire others with your ideas and plans, your cool, calm and collected approach wins people over and they have little reason to refuse the advances or suggestions you make. Proposals you put forward at work are also met with a favorable response and colleagues, previously difficult to deal with, are willing to listen.

Take this opportunity to develop new strategies you can implement in future, that provide you with a foundation to overcome any tough times that may possible lie ahead of you. You show signs of being passionate. Don’t overwhelm your lover with fanciful ideas and suggestions. You should use a slower more sensual approach – gently coax them, don’t be too pushy. If you’re single, don’t mix self-confidence with brusqueness. With a more sophisticated approach, you’re more likely to be met with approval.

Simply be a little bit more patient!

SagittariusNOV Nov SAGITTARIUS 22 -22 DEC- 21Dec 21 Your increased self-confidence helps you to establish important ties with influential and good-natured individuals. What you have to say endears others to your way of thinking and encourages them to support you in your endeavors. In both your professional and private life your company is sought after and appreciated. As a guest you are likely to cause quite a stir with your encouraging and level headed approach to life. All who have the pleasure of meeting discover you are stimulating company. You’re irresistible, sociable and outgoing, you’ve got the ability to respond well to people you find attractive. It’s great to have a lover like you, who has the right attitude, knows how to handle a relationship and has a big heart. You won’t be alone for too long. Your relationship could easily turn into a happy partnership and ultimately becomes even happier for you.

Capricorn CAPRICORN DECDec 22 - 22 JAN-19Jan 20 You face a number of challenges, and feel as if you have to prove yourself all the time. This is quite exhausting and unnerving, which tends to put you on edge. Make sure you keep your temper and avoid unnecessarily showing your displeasure towards those you are supposed to care about most. Practice more self-restraint and be more careful about how you treat others. Treat yourself to a calm and relaxing break, use the time to readjust plans and coordinate them with your partner and your family. You’re feeling rather up-tight and angry, not great for your lover or romance.

Avoid on-going problems by making it known you’re willing to compromise. Otherwise, things might come to a head far sooner than you would wish. If you’re single, it’s time for you to rethink the way you flirt; your current approach is like a full on assault, rather than being seductive in any way.

AQUARIUS janJan 20 - 21 feb-18Feb 19 Aquarius Fully in command of all aspects of your life, you’re able to quantify how much effort is needed to complete various tasks. Relaxed and with a steady approach you get to work and fulfill even the hardest tasks successfully. Others seek your advice and opinion on matters that concern them and are grateful for the competent way they receive assistance. Any approach you make is likely to be welcomed and others notice how engaging you are, if single you’re likely to enjoy a romantic involvement.

If you’re single don’t hide at home. Your chances of meeting new and interesting people and maybe even your dream partner are currently very high. If you have a relationship, everything points towards a great time here as well. You should make a conscious effort to create space and spend romantic time with your lover – it will pay off in satisfying and rewarding ways!

PiscesFEB Feb PISCES 19 -20MAR- Mar 20 21 Think big and channel your energy productively and see how much you can achieve in a short space of time. Be sure to avoid protracted discussions that lead you to become frustrated and angry with those who appear to be placing obstacles in your way. Practicing some self-restraint applies to all activities as your self-confidence can lead you to take on far more than you realistically handle and your rather careless approach needs to be harnessed in a more practical and thought out way to succeed. The pressure of your circumstances has a negative influence on your private life. Small misunderstandings seem to infuriate you. You won’t solve your problems by shouting at those you care about most. Refrain from such outbursts and acting in an emotional way. After all, your lover is not necessarily at fault! Level-headedness and selfcontrol can ease the situation.

How cricketers can hit

the ground running

By Tim Howard A delayed start to the 2021-22 cricket season has the sport’s authorities worried it could cause a spate of injuries when players get back onto the field.

In a bid to head this off, NSW Regional and Country Cricket has released an online fitness guideline to ensure players can mitigate the risk of injuries when play begins.

Officials are concerned players would take the field without the weeks of bowling, throwing and running that would normally occur during pre-season training.

In an on-line guide which is available on the Clarence River Cricket Association Facebook page, players have access to a range of remote training techniques which should prepare a player to be ready for their first game.

The guide begins with the most stressful activity for crickets, fast bowling.

It offers a range of techniques for bowlers of different ages, acknowledging that younger players face need to be more cautious to avoid injury.

“Younger players are

at an increase risk of injury due to severe factors including skeletal immaturity, decreased levels of musculature strength and power, lower career workloads etc,” the guide notes.

It recommends fast bowlers 17 years and under adopt routines that don’t put their growing bodies under prolonged stress and limit the number of balls bowled in training and overs bowled in matches.

It provides tables to show young players how much bowling they should be doing in training and critically, the amount of rest needed between sessions.

The guidelines also provides suggested workloads for under-19s and players over 20 to get them match ready.

Throwing is another area identified as a source of injury for players, which can be remedied with training and adopting correct techniques.

There is a section devoted to developing throwing techniques needed for different fielding positions.

It also recommends players build up strength around the upper body and shoulders to keep the shoulder joint stabilised.

The guide also tackles another major source of injury in cricket, running.

“Hamstring injuries are one of the most common observed in cricketers,” the guide notes.

“Some athletes and coaches are hesitant to perform regular sprinting in training as they feel it exposes them to a greater risk of injury.

“However, one of the most effective strategies for mitigating the risk of hamstring injury is regular exposure to high speed running.”

The guide provides an extensive list of drills and techniques to build up strength and flexibility to cope with sudden sprints and changes of direction that can occur during a game.

“The upcoming 2021-22 cricket season will start abruptly and this creates larger than normal risks of injury due to accelerated increases in training loads,” it says.

“By applying some of the recommendations, example training protocols and principles outlined in this document, administrators, coaches and cricket athletes will be able to offset and mitigate some of these risks.”

Test fast bowler and former country cricketer Josh Hazlewood is on the cover of a new guide to help cricketers prepare for what shapes to be a disrupted season of cricket in 2021-22.

Northern Rivers surfers have performed beyond expectations continued from back page

by Max Perrot One of our own Northern Rivers surfers has performed beyond expectations on the world stage at the US Open of Surfing Huntington Beach presented by Shiseido, the opening stop on the 2021 World Surf League (WSL) Challenger Series (CS), witnessed a showcase of world-class surfing from some of the world’s best and rising stars of the sport in three-to-four-foot, inconsistent surf pulsing

Callum Robson put the event on notice that he’s

here for a big result after securing a Quarterfinal

spot over Tahiti’s talent Mihimana Braye.

Robson has crept through this event under the radar with advancing positions in each of his heats but wasn’t leaving anything to chance against the Tahitian powerhouse - dropping an excellent 8.00 (out of a possible 10) with a jaw-dropping air-reverse on set wave, closeout section and a 15.00 heat total.

“It was pretty emotional just after getting those two good scores and not having put a good heat together yet, and I knew he was

going to be hunting until the end,” said Robson.

“He did that air on the inside the crowd went nuts and I knew it was going to be right there, so I’m stoked to get through. This is the first time I’ve competed on the mainland (United States) and it’s pretty sick.”

Robson’s run ended in the next round of the quarter finals with Jake Marshall (USA) getting the better pick of the wave selection, Robson finished in equal fifth position with 5000 valuable points and US $3500 in prize money.

Woolgoolga’s Jada Johnson named Volunteer of the Year Woolgoolga’s Jada Johnson has just been named the Newcastle Permanent Volunteer of the Year for North Coast Football (NCF) - an honour which blindsided her.

“I was quite surprised. It came from the blue. No one had said anything, so I didn’t even know I had been nominated,” Jada said.

But it’s a gong well earned - as Jada and her husband and

daughter have been more than keen to support the club wherever there’s need.

“Every Saturday we help with the set-up and pack-up. I think I’ve done pretty much every role at the club at some time or another over the years,” she said.

“It’s just that sense of satisfaction you get from helping the community.

“There’s always a lot to do with 400 players

Education and sport a winning mix with new scholarships Australian athletes are being encouraged to balance education and career pathways with their sporting ambitions as the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) today launches a $200,000 education scholarships program.

The AIS is partnering with the John and Myriam Wylie Foundation to expand the AIS Education Scholarships program, which began as a $100,000 pilot last year and supported 40 athletes with education scholarships. Mr Wylie said the way Australian athletes pursued their sporting goals was truly admirable but added it should not have to be a choice between high performance sport and education.

“Our Aussie athletes are determined, resilient and tenacious in their pursuit of sporting success, but it doesn’t have to be at the sacrifice of their other ambitions, especially education and career pathways,” Mr Wylie said.

“Our Foundation is passionate about supporting this AIS Education Scholarship program because we want athletes to know that Australians support them on their sporting journeys and we celebrate their success, but we equally value the transferrable attributes and skills they can bring to life beyond sport.

“On average it takes a high performance athlete twice as long to complete a university degree because they are often juggling full-time training to represent their country. So, education can be a challenge, but it can also bring balance and a plan. Our ultimate success story would be to see more Australian athletes finishing their sporting careers with framed medals hanging on the walls, sitting alongside their framed university degree or trade certificate.

“Education and sport can be a winning mix. I’d encourage others to support this program. Let’s make

high performance sport a genuine career path by supporting athlete education.”

AIS CEO Peter Conde said the AIS has prioritised building its Elite Athlete Education Network (EAEN) so that athletes had more options to balance their sporting careers with education.

The AIS Education scholarships will be open to categorised athletes who are studying any of the EAEN-aligned tertiary institutions around Australia.

“Our Elite Athlete Education Network now comprises more than 40 universities and 11 TAFEs around the country, giving athletes greater choice and flexibility with their education support,” Mr Conde said.

“Our priority is to support those athletes who demonstrate a genuine commitment to study and can use their own experiences to inspire and benefit others, in sport and the broader community. The AIS wants to support athletes

to be successful in sport, education and life. This initiative, supported by the John and Myriam Wylie Foundation, is a key component of that objective.”

Former world champion swimmer and now Athlete Wellbeing and Engagement manager with Swimming Australia, Linley Frame said: “The AIS Education Scholarship program can be a game-changer for Australian sport. It’s a fantastic initiative that provides the opportunity for athletes to balance their sporting ambitions and education.”

Grants of up to $5,000 are available per athlete.

Applications for round one of the program are available on the AIS website and open today, Monday 27 September, and close Friday, 15 October. Round two will be March 2022. It is open to any categorised athlete who is intending to enrol, currently enrolled, or part way through a course/unit of study in period 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022 that is part of the EAEN.

in winter and the six-a-side competition over the summer.”

Jada and family relocated to the area 11 years ago, and soon found themselves in the thick of things at Woopi.

“I signed up to play and it just went from there,” Jada said.

“I’ve been the treasurer and registrar for the past eight years, I play for the women’s over 30s and women’s first grade and coach

the men’s over 35s, well I organise the kit and formation for the men.”

“Despite COVID we’ve had a great season at Woolgoolga FC, we’ve had over four hundred registrations which is a record for the football club in its 50th anniversary, we will be having a big celebration to commemorate the landmark,” said Jada.
