“The North Coast community vaccination rate for those aged 16 and up now stands at 93.6%, and our 12 to 15 year-olds have been eligible to book their Covid vaccination since September 2021.

Veteran nurse debunks claims hospital is ‘Falling over in a screaming heap’ Speaking to The Northern Rivers Times on the condition of anonymity, an experienced nurse at Tweed Hospital has moved to counter some media claims the hospital is falling apart.

The nurse said the belief “Tweed Hospital has no Covid diagnosis equipment” is simply not true with Rapid Antigen Tests continuing this week for patients.

Hospital staff were also being tested at Tweed hospital.

“They still do ‘rapids’, back in half an hour,” the nurse said.

The nurse was concerned media hype did not tell the everyday story of life on hospital wards, which the nurse said were generally well-staffed and if quiet, saw some nurses redeployed to other wards.

The nurse said it was not unusual to have staff shortages anyway at this time of year or staff doing paid overtime.

“Hospital administration is still allowing people to go on annual leave, if it was in dire straits, why aren’t all the hierarchy back, they would be back if it was so bad.”

“A & E (Accident and Emergency) is certainly stretched with Covid admissions who should be staying home .. but it certainly isn’t falling apart.”

The nurse said managers and nurse unions have had ‘plenty of time’ to prepare for covid emergencies like now, of N95 or P2 respirators, mandatory for all frontline staff and an area lagging at Tweed Hospital.

Medical workforce upskilled and increased: NNSWLHD Recent media reports of Tweed hospital having no Covid diagnosis equipment and operating out of a makeshift triage with nurses doing double shifts have been taken out of context, according to a Northern NSW Local Health District spokesperson.

“To improve patient safety, Northern NSW Local Health District erected a transportable treatment area, where Covid-positive patients without serious illness can be attended without needing to enter the hospital,” the spokesperson said.

“This area is airconditioned and out of the

“As with any month in a large organisation there has been some staff turnover, however this is not different to other months or years.

“These positions have staff, casual staff, and any potential shortages staff between wards and facilities.”

“Between mid-2012 and mid-2020, the District increased its workforce by an additional 1008 FTE staff,” the spokesperson said.

“This is a 26.7% increase and includes 171 more doctors, 367 more nurses and midwives, and 121 more allied health staff.

“Throughout the early stages of the pandemic, we sourced additional equipment, including ventilators, in the event it’s required for any surge in intensive care patients that may occur in our region.”

Covid hits supermarket shelves as the ‘RAT’ race continues would and to continue to show kindness to our teams,” Brad Banducci, Woolworths CEO, wrote to shoppers late last week.

The advice comes as Rapid Antigen Tests for in-home testing of Covid-19 continue to elude customers across the Northern Rivers.

MARGARET DEKKER The CEO of a major Australian supermarket has advised customers Covid-19 will impact supermarket shopping as we know it.

Brad Banducci, Woolworths Group CEO wrote to shoppers the supermarket is ‘entering a very different phase of Covid’ due to the high levels of community transmission associated with ‘the Omicron hump.’

“When you’re shopping with us at the moment, you might unfortunately have noticed gaps on shelf, or substitutions in your online order. Unlike the surge buying of early 2020 (who could forget the toilet paper), this is because of the number of people in our supply chain in isolation – from suppliers to truck drivers and distribution centre team members – which in turn is causing material delays to store deliveries. To give you a sense of the magnitude of the challenge, we are

Meet Kyogle’s new mayor LARA LEAHY Cr Kylie Thomas was successful in the peer election on Wednesday, January 5, 2022 and became the new Mayor of Kyogle.

It was a surprise for the community, but Kylie has worked towards this position for some time.

She has been a councillor in Ward A since 2016 - elected from seven people vying for a councillor position. She has put her hand up to become deputy mayor and mayor prior to this election.

Successful in 2022, she takes her role seriously, “All councillors should be prepared to take on the role”.

Kylie’s first few weeks are being spent coordinating the new agendas and duties she is taking on, including the Joint Organisation and the Country Mayors Association. She is meeting with the newly elected deputy mayor, Tom Cooper to arrange her first steps with the Kylie Thomas was not born to Kyogle.

councillors.

The ideal for Kylie is to have the councillors working as a team to carry out their roles.

Providing regular outreach to the community, Kylie intends to have a meeting in each ward every six months to ensure that they have a voice that is heard. She is also planning to put time aside during every week when members of the public can come and discuss anything of importance with her directly.

Kylie recognizes the good works done by the upgrading of bridges in the area and wants to add to that legacy.

She acknowledges the “amazing diversity of business in the Kyogle council region” and the importance of roads and connectivity to that community.

If there are any immediate concerns with potholes or other road safety issues, Kylie recommends that you reach out to one of your

local councillors. Their information is available online and on the back page of the Kyogle Council Newsletter.

“At any time, members of the community can write a letter, especially an email to council about any concerns,” she said.

Attention also needs to be directed to the rental housing shortage. Kylie spoke of the steady population rise “not as large as surrounding areas, but causing difficulties for people

looking to get a foothold in the area.”

Kylie will have a presence on Facebook where she will keep people informed in a vlog style format, speaking directly to the camera.

You can also expect to see her at public events, so introduce yourself.

Former mayor Danielle Mulholland has made quite an impression on her electorate and there is a great deal of shock and disappointment that

On returning to Australia, Kylie lived at Delungra, north west of Inverell. She worked

there as a coordinator for an indigenous organisation before moving to Kyogle in 2003 with her family.

Since then, Kylie has called Kyogle home.

She now has a new partner, but maintains close family ties in the area - including her parents that live locally.

Kylie has spent much-loved time in the community and began initiatives that have made a real difference to what is now Kyogle.

When she arrived with her daughters, Kylie started a local Girl Guides group. They started with her two daughters and in a year,

The strong sentiment in reaction from the community to the change of mayor was immediate and ranged from offers of thanks and appreciation to those of shock and disappointment and there

are those that want to fight for her as mayor, even initiating a petition.

The reaction on social media was immediate: “My thoughts are with you Danielle Mulholland. Best Mayor in the 29 years I’ve lived here. May there be many more.”

However support for the new mayor, Kylie is also coming through: “Kyogle needs a new injection of energy to bring it back to the true community it was.”

Clarence council elects its leaders The new look Clarence Valley Council has met to decide who will be mayor for this truncated term of council.

Due to deadline constraints, The Northern Rivers Times cannot bring you the identity of the new mayor and deputy mayor, who were elected at an extraordinary council meeting on Tuesday.

In addition to the election of leaders the meeting set the agenda for the rest of the year, setting remuneration for councillors, selecting the council’s Australia Day representative and delegates for Local Government conferences throughout the year.

The council will also note the latest NSW Local Government rule changes, which rule out by-elections to replace casual vacancies on council in the first 18 months of the term of this council.

To fill a casual vacancy, there would be a count back of the votes cast at the December 4, 2021 election to fill the vacancy.

In the next edition of The Northern Rivers Times we will feature the new mayor and deputy and ask them about their vision for the Clarence Valley.

About 10.30am on New Year’s Eve, Lilli and fellow lifeguard Carissa Miltiadou were sitting in their beach shelter when they spotted a kangaroo struggling in the water.

“Carissa said she could see a kangaroo in the water near the rocks, but I thought she had made a mistake,” Lilli said.

“But then I could see it in the water struggling to keep its head above the water.”

The pair learned the animal had been jumping around on the rocks near the beach and alarmed at the number of people around it, had leapt into the water.

“Because of the crowd of people on the beach it didn’t want to come into the shore,” Lilli said.

Lilli grabbed her board and paddled out to the kangaroo, which took her a few minutes.

“I didn’t think I would be able to get it on the board, but I thought if I could get beside it, I might be able to get it to head towards the shore,” she said.

“I didn’t want to touch it or get too close to it, it’s a wild animal and could have scratched or clawed me.”

By the time she paddled close to the struggling roo, she could see it was in distress.

She said it was also remarkable how well her life saving training had adapted to saving a non-human subject.

“I did what I would have done in any rescue, got out to them on my board and decided what would be best,” she said.

“I knew getting them on the board was not an option, so I did what I would with someone who was able to swim, stay with them and encourage them to get to the beach.”

“It was sad,” she said. “It was out of breath, really breathing hard.

“And it was swimming by jumping through the water. I didn’t know kangaroos could swim like that.”

While Lilli herded the struggling roo back to shore, her partner, Carissa, cleared people away from their path to

avoid further spooking the roo.

“It was really good to have a team mate to do that, it meant we were able to get the kangaroo into shallow water much quicker,” Lilli said.

She estimated it took four to kangaroo into shallow water where it was able to bound out of the surf and hop into the

competition.

Lilli has also moved out of home to attend the Cooee program and is living on the Gold Coast, but has been home during the summer break to work as a lifeguard.

“I’m hoping I can afford to compete in some of the projunior competitions,” she said.

“But it’s pretty expensive living away from home, paying rent and expenses.”

Barking mad: tougher penalties for dog owners Brunswick Heads residents are calling on the Byron Shire Council to impose tougher measures on pet owners after a man was attacked by a dog, owned by an illegal camper.

Harry Van De Venne, 75, was confronted by an unsupervised dog while riding his bike at Boat Harbour in Brunswick Heads.

Mr Van De Venne said he was on his way to collect saltwater for oysters he had been gifted when the unprovoked attack occurred.

“I pedalled past the van and I was not bitten but scratched by a dog. Scratched the living daylights out of my left leg,” he said.

Harry recalls a nearby friend coming to his aid following

the attack to help with his wounds but not the owner of the dog.

He said, “the owner didn’t even come out, he called the dogs in and watched TV.” Mr Van De Venne expressed his concern that dog attacks are on the rise due to irresponsible owners, and a lack of consequences for pet owners and the resources to enforce them by council.

Harry’s son-in-law posted the photo of the scratches on Harry’s leg to Facebook on the local Brunswick Heads Community Page.

One resident said: “People think their dogs have more rights than anyone else using the river or recreation areas in our shire. I think its time for

the Byron Shire Council to start doing something about it.” of Local Government, the total number of dog attack incidents reported by the Byron Shire Council in the 17.

This is an increase from two reported dog attack incidents in same quarter of 2020.

Mr Van De Venne immediately reported the attack to the council and is calling on them to fund more resources to be able to enforce penalties and deal with pet incidents as they occur.

Byron Shire Mayor Michael Lyon said he is in favour

of ensuring that there is a crackdown on irresponsible owners.

“We are formulating a dogs in public space strategy as well however, there is still a concerning lack of compliance and lax attitude amongst some dog-owners that is cause for concern,” he said.

Cr Lyon said council currently has two animal a 24/7, 365-day roster as well as support from parking and He noted that while the would be favourable, but new government changes may impact the ability to do so.

“Recent State Government

changes to remove the enforcement levy that councils could charge on DAs will impact resourcing locally,” he said. new year Cr Lyon, said: “I am in favour of increasing resources in the area and a report on compliance generally will be coming to council in February where I will seek to increase resources and focus so that we can make it clear that owners must be responsible for their dogs and follow the rules.”

The dogs in public spaces draft strategy will be made for public feedback in April 2022.

Joe thought he had given away all of his assets, but he forgot about a small number of shares he owned at the time. By the time he died in 2018 those shares had risen in value and were worth almost $500,000.

However, because Joe did not include a residual clause in his will (that is, a clause giving away everything else he owned, that he hadn’t specifically mentioned), it was not known who Joe had intended to receive the shares and conflicts arose between family as to who should inherit this asset.

ELECTION CHOICES For decades so many people have placed the greatest importance on high quality Health Services and high-quality Education for every Australian citizen. And rightly so. So why do we vote for governments that refuse to listen to the people?

In the lead up to the coming election, no government can guarantee our children air that is safe to breathe anywhere in the world.

So how has our government responded to our global pandemic, where air is daily becoming less safe to breathe and taxpayers trying to obtain RATs

GREEN HYPOCRISYNEVER The Greens just don’t seem to get it.

Environmental activists argue wind turbines will change the temperature of the globe, each one is subsidised by the taxpayer $660,000.00 per year per tower by the government, someone must pay for them and that is the taxpayer.

The materials used to create wind turbines are imported from China, power stations to make the power cheaper for their people. What is wrong with this picture? who are the fools here? It is quite acceptable by the greens to construct these monstrosities on private land that totally destroys the views, are irritatingly noisy, to coerce landholders to accept the construction of huge power line infrastructure

RAIL TRAIL Many Northern Rivers’ locals are extremely angry that ‘rail trail’ lobbyists have pushed their agenda to the point where some heritage tracks are to be pulled up this week, in the Tweed Shire at Murwillumbah and Dunbible!

It was also not stated in the legislation that tracks had to be pulled up to make the bike path. However, certain Ministers have wrongly said that the funding requires the bike trail to go on top of the rail formation, and thus destroying our tracks and losing the potential of rail return-ing to our region.

Well, we do have an election promise for some multi-billion-dollar US nuclear-powered submarines in the 2040s, so why worry about obtaining an adequate provision of RATs tests to help protect our families?

This situation here disturbs me greatly since even the UK’s Conservative government realised back in April that not having air that was safe to breathe was a worry, so they then purchased enough RATs for RATs to be readily and freely available for every citizen in the UK now. How good is that if you voted for a Conservative government in the UK? Breathe safely and all the best in the future you choose and all the best with those you choose to vote for in 2022.

LETTERS & OPINIONS herd or natural immunity as once people have the weaker variant of covid, Omicron, they hopefully will be immune, but not good if you are fearful of getting covid due to other health issues.

Our leaders want to get as many people vaccinated as possible but there is nothing said about natural immunity even though a study done in Israel concluded that natural immunity conveyed 27 times more protection than vaccinations, https:// www.israelnationalnews. com/news/312637.

But then I hear Dr Robert Malone, a US virologist and immunologist saying, “People with natural immunity have massive risk of adverse events from the vaccine.” If this is true, and a lot more people have now had covid, it is not a good idea to enforce vaccinations onto these people, but they should be given exemptions like Novak Djokovic is supposed to have.

Now our leaders have approved the vaccination of children who are at a near zero risk from covid even though these vaccinations are still experimental, with unknown long term side effects. Wouldn’t it be better for our children to build up their own resistance to

THE earliest piece of my educational jigsaw puzzle that I can vividly recall, when I cast my mind back, is an old Roman proverb that went along the lines: “The sooner you plant the tree of learning, the more shade it will give you in old age.”

That said, I’m not sure whether I’d be seriously considered either learned or long in the tooth, let alone both, but one thing I do try to embody in myself, is an enquiring mind and a willingness to learn something new each day.

The most interesting and impressive people I’ve met were the one’s that didn’t necessarily try to impress or overwhelm me with their qualifications, instead they were the individuals who came across as having learnt all they could from the lives they’d led. Some of my greatest intellectual heroes never finished high school, let alone university. As Einstein himself once said: ‘Any fool can know. The point is to understand.’

Sydney J Harris, the witty Chicago journalist who wrote an aptly named column, ‘Things I learned en route to Looking Up other things’, once said: “The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.”

Which is a wonderful appraisal, if not limitless prognosis as to what learning ought provide those who truly esteem it; learning is about looking beyond oneself, seeing others, and not being merely preoccupied, albeit obsessed with the ‘impressiveness’ of one’s own finite reflection.

The funny thing about learning, or learning that makes the most constructive difference

to our lives, is that it tends to be not easily attained. The buried clue even quietly basks in the word itself: look a little closer and you’ll see ‘earn’ concertedly smirking at the heart of it.

As such, our greatest lessons often come at a cost, in the least to our ignorance and often to our rampant senses of personal superiority.

Relatedly, the psychiatrist, Thomas Szasz once noted: “Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an esteem. That is why young children before they are aware of their learn so easily.”

In the same vein, the lion of learning and war, Winston Churchill once said: “I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught.”

Evidently, unless we lower our personal sense of prowess and acquired proficiency, the possession that is our ability to learn remains untapped, and is unable really to assist not just others, but ourselves in being the best versions of ourselves that we can be.

Having always challenged myself to learn as much as I can, throughout my entire life – I can honestly say that I’ve never felt myself to be the smartest person in any room, but at the same time, I’ve never felt the silliest. And I think deep down, I’ve always identified with the philosopher – Alain de notion: “Anyone who isn’t embarrassed of who they were last year probably isn’t learning enough.”

New publican gets clackers back to the Jaca TIM HOWARD There’s plenty that’s old school about the new publican at the Jacaranda Hotel, former local league player and coach Mark Hooklyn.

He took over the licence at the hotel in September and spent the next few months refurbishing the Grafton icon, before opening just before Christmas.

Mr Hooklyn knows he has taken on a pub, without the river of gold that comes from gaming machines and just at a time when the Covid-19 pandemic has resurfaced with a vengeance.

“Actually I’m pretty happy with the way things are going,” he said. “It was great to see all the regulars come back after we opened.

“People were coming up to me and saying how great it was to see the pub back open and local bloke running it.

“I don’t think the pub not having pokies will be too big a deal, because they were actually taken out a while ago, so it hasn’t been something at the pub for a long time.”

But he admitted the resurgence of the pandemic had created some issues.

“We didn’t open between Christmas and New Year, because we didn’t think it would be worth it,” Mr Hooklyn said.

“We were open four days up to Christmas and

three days since New Year,” he said. “We have been open seven days of the 12 we could have been open.”

He said the new management realised the hotel needed to provide multiple attractions to keep the customers coming through the doors.

“We want to get bands back on here, multiple times a week,” he said. “I know my four daughters are always saying there’s nothing to do around Grafton and I would have to agree with them.”

He said he remembers a time when most pubs in Grafton had bands playing and you could see several bands in one night at different hotels.

“We’re also planning to hire a chef in the future.

It’s going to be important to offer good food for our customers to keep them coming back here,” he said.

“We haven’t found the right person yet, but it shouldn’t be too long.”

Mr Hooklyn said pubs offering genuine entertainment would be attractive to people in Grafton.

“I know there are lot of people out there who would love to go out to a place where their partners weren’t tempted by poker machines,” he said.

“I haven’t put two bob in a poker machine for more than 10 years, but I know there are a lot of

people who go to pubs to play the pokies.

“For a lot of people it can become a real problem so it’s good to have place for people to go where they don’t have the temptation.”

Mr Hooklyn said it was disappointing to see poker machine areas become de facto smoking rooms.

“It annoys me a bit,” he said. “It seems these gaming rooms get special treatment, because people are allowed to smoke in there, when it’s not allowed.

“I don’t know why they get special treatment when there are strict regulations around smoking in public places.”

Mr Hooklyn also wants to establish strong ties between the hotel and local sport.

“We’ve already signed up to be the major sponsor for the Grafton Ghosts,” he said.

“But we want to have other angles as well, like a pub golf club, a fishing club and things like that.

“As well as the Ghosts we want to support other sports like hockey, soccer and netball.”

Mr Hooklyn is certainly not afraid of hard work.

“I get down to the hotel most afternoons and during the day I work at my other business, McSwan Engineering,” he said.

“It’s a bit hectic, but so far it’s looking pretty good.”

Crackdown on illegal camping More than 100 infringement notices have been issued during the holiday period as part of a crackdown on illegal camping.

Our rangers have been patrolling along the Clarence Valley

coast since the week before Christmas, with fines being issued to people staying in parked vehicles outside of permitted hours at a variety of locations between Iluka and Wooli.

These patrols will

increase in frequency over the remainder of the holiday period to reduce the adverse impacts of illegal camping on our communities.

The penalty for parking outside of permitted hours is $117.

MARGARET DEKKER Seven councillors in a newlook Tweed Shire Council Council in Murwillumbah this Tuesday.

A new mayor was also elected, a role hotly contested between Cr James Owen and incumbent mayor, Chris Cherry (result unavailable at time of going to print,) and a deputy mayor elected, likely Cr Reece Byrnes.

Cr Owen was hopeful of snaring the top post after achieving more than 25 per cent of the individual vote at the December 4 election.

The new Tweed Shire Council comprises Crs James Owen (Liberals), Chris Cherry (Independent), Meredith Dennis (Independent), Rhiannon Brinsmead (Liberals), Warren Polglase (Independent), Nola Firth (Greens), and Reece Byrnes (ALP).

Crs Dennis, Brinsmead and there are more women on council than men (Cherry, Dennis, Brinsmead, Firth) leading some observers to ponder the possibility of an unprecedented ‘Female Block’ on the vote.

“We are pleased to see the new Council includes four women following a push by Government to encourage female representation in local in our council’s history that women have outnumbered men on the elected body,”

Illegal dumping will be a key focus for Byron Shire Council in 2022 with a Mullumbimby $2000 for dumping waste material from a home renovation in a stormwater drain.

Coast Road upgrade key to new housing and jobs Preparatory works to widen Tweed Coast Road to four lanes ahead of anticipated population growth on the coast have begun, with projects to install underground infrastructure underway.

Tweed Coast Road is the main arterial road servicing the Tweed Coast community, which is forecast to grow 30 years with the release of urban land at Kings Forest and West Kingscliff.

Acting Director of Engineering Danny Rose said demand for travel on Tweed to almost double by 2041, necessitating the need for plans to be put in place for future upgrades.

Flavour connoisseurs celebrate Are you looking for something special for the table to up the ante after your Christmas spread?

Maybe looking to spice up the table for Australia Day? Sydney’s Royal Fine Food Competition results are in, and gourmet gods and goddesses in the Northern Rivers area are in for a treat.

There were many entry categories, and our region won several prizes in the specialty food classes that include spreads, vinegars and coffee.

Competition was intense with entrants from across Australia.

The foods were rated, and the top three tiers were awarded with medal honours.

The high instance of multiple award-winning fine food manufacturers from this area are to be commended.

These include: • The biggest win was by Mountain Top Coffee who took out

the Champion prize for coffee. The blend that won them the prize was the Arabica Microlot Specialty Coffee.

Speaking with Bernie Rooney, he says that this particular coffee was all about timing.

He says that the coffee was grown on a block known for producing good coffee. It was ready about 6 weeks before the competition, allowing the freshness of the coffee to be captured perfectly. It is a wash coffee, so it was picked as a red cherry and washed and dried on the same day and the coffee beans dried well. All of this combined to produce a clean, nuanced coffee, smooth with a sweet and fruity flavour. Coffee lovers, grab it while you can… Available in shops around Nimbin and Goolmangar General Store or direct from them online. www.mountaintopcoffee. com.au • Nicholson Fine

Peter Nicholson, the chef, handmakes the products that are all designed by himself. “We make an eclectic line of products,” he says. The Beetroot Vinegar goes well with a variety of foods, but it has a cult following of people that like it drizzled over vanilla ice-cream. “It’s amazing. It’s a weapon,” he says. On its own, it has won 8 trophies since it entered Peter’s line in 2010. You can order online or call into the factory in Yamba, where you may be able to get a taste test. www.nicholsonfinefoods. com.au • The Bay Smokehouse in Ocean Shores got a prize with their Smoked Fish Rillettes - a divine

smoked fish spread.

Julia’s inspiration for her real food products stems from her experience on her family avocado and macadamia farm. She

has written a book that is about her life on the farm and recipes which she hopes will “deepen the appreciation behind a meal”. She has also won the Northern Rivers Business Award for Excellence in Micro Business. Some of her products are available from stockists, but her full range is available online. tweedrealfood.com • Holy Nuts in Ocean Shores won prizes with their Holy Nuts Hazelnuts Chocolate Spread and Lemon Myrtle Macadamia Spread.

They produce their foods using an ancient stone grinding technique that lends to the texture and quality of the products smoothness and sustainable footprint.

Their story makes an

interesting conversation over a meal of their nutritious and boutique foods. They have a couple of stockists, or you can buy their products online. www.holynuts.com.au • Punch Gold Blend is also a prize winner, made by Jim and Twiggy Punch and roasted at Cafeind in Rosebank.

They have only been producing coffee for a couple of years and are really happy with their bronze ranking. They have 3 blends available, but the Gold Blend is a personal favourite, in a piccolo. Twiggy regards her coffee as socially and sustainably environmental and is grown organically without chemicals.

In the interim period prior to sealing, the works will be exposed to possible damage may cause delays.

Beach scraping prevents erosion at Wooli Wooli sand dunes from last week’s cyclone swells.

High tides of more than 2 metres and large swells hit the Clarence Valley coastline last Monday, resulting in dangerous conditions and raising concerns of dune erosion at Wooli.

Council assessing damage to Byron Shire beaches Byron Shire Council staff are assessing the damage from the fall-out of ex-tropical cyclone Seth which generated very big waves, strong winds and king tides earlier this week.

Thankfully the wave size has decreased along with the week.

Inspections of the beaches this week show that most damage has happened at Byron Bay, with area most impacted just north of Main Beach, at the front of the First Sun Caravan Park.

Cats are highly valued pets in nearly 30 per cent of Australian households. Highly into domestic life and routines easily and comfortably. They are however, predators by nature and will go looking for mates, defend territory and hunt wildlife, particularly during dusk to dawn.

All cat owners are required under the Companion Animals Act 1998 to ensure their cats are microchipped and registered.

Dangers of roaming cats The hours between dusk and dawn are when your cat is most likely to: • Attack wildlife such as birds and damage the environment

“The beach in front of the First Sun Caravan Park was hard hit and this is because there is a deep spot just offshore and not much sand on the beach for the waves to run up, so the waves broke against and overtopped the low rock wall,” Chloe Dowsett, Coast, Biodiversity and Sustainability Coordinator, said.

At Main Beach a rock, estimated to weigh half a tonne, was pushed onto the steps.

“When you see large rocks being moved around and displaced it’s a powerful reminder about the force of the waves, especially when they were over-topping the carpark near the pool,” Ms Dowsett said.

People are asked to take care on beach access paths at Main Beach and Clarks Beach because some are closed and there is a drop to the sand at others.

People should stay away from the dunes and rock walls and not sit on the top, or at the foot, because they are unstable.

“Some more trees have been

lost in this area and we expect that when the dune dries out there will be some further slumping of the dune due to the softer sand,” Ms Dowsett said.

High psychological distress was present in more than two-thirds of the group (68%).

PURRSIES...‘Leemo Cat’ reporting. I have been pondering why ‘Mum Jane’ called me ‘Leemo’. Why didn’t she select something like ‘Geronimo’ or ‘Kagemusha’...you know. Pertaining to obvious masculinity, talent, good looks and noble intent stuff. I told her some of my buddies make fun of my name.

Hence, I want it changed by Deed Poll.

Mum did not respond with any positivity about my request.

She obviously did not take into account how a new name might influence my wellbeing & mental health.

Hmmm. This is NOT the attitude of a caring mother. She told me we should have a chat.

(OMG...another load of her boring diatribe!)

She asked if I had ever looked up the true meaning of my name.

I had to ‘fess up that I indeed had not done so. ‘WELL Leems, you know the idiom, “Seek and Ye Shall Learn”.

Then she started.

Aaargh. Mum told me she had actually spent a great deal of time determining what to name me. (With my feline astuteness I figured that was a right load of old codswallop but felt it in my best interests (like treats, brushes etc) to SAY NOTHING.) “Leems, your name represents great things. The Meaning of E in the

name LEEMO means you are very exciting...a double EE in your name is even betterer.

Your timidity has receded as you have matured. Leems, you could have had a career in the Social Sciences or Anthropology. You chose eating & sleeping studies instead, which, admittedly, you have excelled in. Your powers of concentration and excellent memory are two of your best abilities, and you have a strong sense of responsibility. Whilst it was certainly MOST pleasing to hear all this stuff about my dumb name I was curious as to why ‘Mum Jane’ kept shaking and holding a big handkerchief over her face...is she having some kinda attack? Does she need medicine? Meditation might help. I artfully observed Mum most closely. I couldn’t believe what my eyes and ears detected.

She was laughing. I noted there was noone else around except US...which meant, in my astute feline interpretation, SHE WAS LAUGHING AT ME! OMG...time to address this dire state of affairs. I started with a nip on the hurty part of her right ankle.

Well, that put a stop to the laughter didn’t it?

I demanded she listen and asked “Mum, are you making fun of me? Did you make up all those things about the meaning of my name? Come on...

TRUTH OR NIP TIME!” She responded “OK...YEP, Leems, I did lay it on a bit.

TRUTH IS, I named you ‘Leemo’ ‘cos when I found you, you resembled an adorable big-eyed beautiful baby LEMUR. Hence I called you Leemo. AND, Leems, WHAT’S IN A NAME. You are truly magnificent. What if I’d called you BOZO? Well, that doesn’t bear thinking about so I reckon she won this time...but only by a whisker. Nite, Leemo.

How to save more than $4000 in 2022 Consumer advocacy group CHOICE has released a list of saving tips and tricks that could save Australians more than $4000 in 2022.

“The new year is the perfect time to take a look at what you’re spending money on and work out how you can cut down on some of your expenses. This can be a bit of an overwhelming process, but CHOICE’s experts are here to help,” says CHOICE Editor, Marg Rafferty.

“We’ve put together a list of tips and tricks that could save you more than $4000 this year.

“Something as simple as turning off your appliances at the powerpoint could put $180 or more back in your pocket annually, while switching health insurance providers could save you as much as up to about $900.”

CHOICE’s tips and tricks for saving money in 2022 include:

you’re not wasting unnecessary power and money.”

1. Turn your appliances off at the powerpoint and save $180 a year.

“There are a number of appliances around your house that cost you money even when you think you’ve turned them off,” says Rafferty.

“Wireless routers and printers are particularly notorious for being the biggest energy hogs. Turning your appliances off at the wall when they’re not in use will make sure

2. Switch your health insurance provider and save up to $1520 a year.

“If you switch your hospital insurance to a cheaper Gold, Silver, or Bronze policy, you could save hundreds of dollars - our experts found savings between $550 and $1520 a year on top hospital cover by switching funds.

There’s likely a cheaper deal out there that will give you the same amount of cover as your current policy,” says Rafferty.

Our experts found that: People with Gold policies could save $932 a year on average by moving to a cheaper policy: People with Silver policies could save $576 a year on average; People with Bronze policies could save $435 a year on average.

3. Change your lighting and save up to $170 per year.

“The start of the new year is a good time to check what

kind of light bulbs you’re using in your home. Old incandescent and halogen light bulbs use a lot of energy compared to modern LEDS. If you switch from 1000 watt incandescent bulbs to 14 watt LED bulbs, you’ll get about the same amount of light, and you’ll also immediately reduce your energy consumption by about $170 per year,” says Rafferty.

4. Wash your clothes in cold water instead of warm water and save $135.

“Did you know that you can get pretty much the same cleaning power from a cold wash as a warm wash? You’ll also use far less electricity if you wash your clothes in cold water. Our experts calculated that if you switched from washing a half load every day on a warm wash, to washing a full load every day on a cold wash, you could save about $135 a year,” says Rafferty.

Carpet python rescue has added twist WIRES NORTHERN RIVERS Pam called WIRES for advice when she found her resident Coastal carpet python snake lying half in and half out of the pool in the sun, it was looking unwell, it had not moved for over 24 hours and birds were hovering nearby.

This python was well known to Pam as it had been around for years.

WIRES volunteer Eddy responded to the call and noticed a small skin deep wound - possibly the reason the python was taking a bath in the pool.

The python was treated at Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital for minor skin abrasions and would require a course of antibiotics. The python was taken into care by WIRES volunteer snake handler Mat. Mat hoped to see the python shed her skin to be certain she was in top condition before being

released back to Pam’s property.

Mat was getting the python ready for release, but when he opened the enclosure he found she had laid a small clutch of eggs.

Unlike other snake species, carpet python females will care for her eggs, and defend her clutch violently.

She coils herself around her eggs, and shivers to keep the eggs at a stable temperature. Between

50 and 60 days after producing her clutch, the babies hatch. At this point, the maternal duties of the mother are complete.

This beautiful mum will be allowed to rest on her clutch for the

next couple of months until they are ready to hatch. Young snakes are precocious and will fend for themselves from the time they emerge from the egg.

We hope to release mum and her 10-20

healthy young rodent catchers early next year.

Thank you Pam for calling WIRES, your environmentally friendly pest control will be back on duty in 2022.

1 in 20 living with Covid diagnosis ahead of election Australia will reach one living with a Covid diagnosis within days – more than lung disease and cancer – with one in every 20 New South Wales and Victorian residents already contracting the virus, the latest VaxEnomicTM Forecaster from C-suite strategy group Provocate reveals.

Provocate Managing Director Troy Bilsborough – a former senior advisor to Federal Health, Aged Care and Child Care Ministers – warned this could leave a lasting legacy beyond the latest Omicron wave that could swing the health vote at upcoming Federal and state elections.

Provocate’s VaxEnomicTM Forecaster shows Australia passed three-quarters of a million (760,000+) cases yesterday (7/01/2022), with about one-in-10 (73,000+) recorded on Friday alone, as the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared it a “mistake” to declare the Omicron variant ‘mild’.

Mr Bilsborough said Provocate expected this, combined with growing “electionomics”, would see a swift shift in pressure on governments and businesses to treat Covid and any longterm health risks as chronic illness.

“The big risk for incumbent governments in 2022 is the growing number of Australian households directly impacted by a Covid diagnosis vote based on what their health, not their head, says,” Mr Bilsborough said. votes than any other issue at

federal and state health department sources and others, such as Our World in Data and covidlive.com.au. Some state and the last Federal election.

“One million Australians being diagnosed with Covid means the virus itself – not just talk about it – has gone mainstream and it risks leaving a lasting legacy in voters’ minds once Omicron’s been and gone.”

Mr Bilsborough said prior to Christmas, Covid had largely been a theoretical threat for most Australians, meaning governments were being

judged on their competency as emergency and economic managers, not their healthcare credentials.

He warned governments to be careful transitioning their sales pitch to Covid being akin to a common cold too quickly or risk alienating voters further, particularly after the WHO warned labelling Omicron mild a “mistake”.

“The fact there’s now more

cases of Covid than other key chronic health election issues like cancer, kidney and lung disease almost guarantees it will feature as a key issue in the minds of voters in 2022.

“Governments and business must navigate the next few months carefully and gently, particularly given the predicted increase in Long Covid claims and how any alleged chronic illness will be treated, funded and supported

under Medicare, private health, social services and industrial law.

“There currently seems little incentive for a March Federal election, which would provide a window for some of these matters to be neutralised in the government’s pre-poll Budget depending on their appetite.”

Dwelling eligibility sunset clause If you own a property in a rural or large lot residential zone, changes that came into force on December 23, 2021 may have resulted in your dwelling entitlement being lost.

The sunset clause applies to lots below the minimum lot size in Large Lot Residential (R5),

Environmental Management (E3), and Rural (RU1, RU2, RU3) Zones.

The council included this sunset clause to balance landowners’ rights to apply for a house on their land with the need to limit inappropriate development in our rural and environmental areas,

prevent dispersed rural settlement and reduce rural zones.

Landowners in these zones can still apply for a dwelling by making a development application, which may be supported only if there are compelling planning reasons.

Archie Roach voices joy, pain, and hope within these songs that he found on his journey to becoming the legendary singer, songwriter and storyteller that he is today.

Presented by NORPA and Play On, a new work sharing stories and songs from Archie’s award-winning memoir and companion album, Tell Me Why is an intimate, moving and often confronting account of his resilience, strength of spirit as well as a great love story. It’s an extraordinary odyssey of love, heartbreak, family, community, survival and renewal, showcasing the healing power of music.

Not many have lived as many lives as Archie, from stolen child, teenage alcoholic, seeker, lover, father, musical and lyrical genius, to social advocate and First Nations leader – but it took almost a really was.

He is Archie Roach.

In recent years, he faced the sudden death of his life partner and musical collaborator of 38 years, Ruby Hunter. He then went on to survive a debilitating stroke and lung cancer.

Why

Forcibly removed from his loving parents, six siblings and community at the age of two, Roach’s early years were equally traumatic.

Tell Me Why, also the title of the companion album Bloodlines, considers Roach’s 18 song ‘magnum opus’, re-imagining 11 songs extraordinary career. This includes two songs that were previously written but never recorded, two

as well as three brand new recordings.

Roach voices joy, pain, and hope within these songs that he found on his journey to becoming the legendary singer, songwriter and storyteller that he is today; beloved and respected by fans worldwide.

See Archie at Lismore City Hall on Saturday, January 29 from 7pm.

Catherine Britt comes to Casino on Bush Pubs Tour Catherine Britt - Bush Pubs Tour will be at Casino RSM Club on Sunday, January 30 from 3.30pm to 5.30pm, Multi-award winning and top selling country artist, Catherine Britt, is bringing music to the bush a special show!

It’s the singer and the song that makes for truly distinctive and enduring artists. Lots of great songs and some mighty has a voice that instantly gets your attention, but unlike others, it is the craftsmanship of this unashamedly boasts a worthy story to tell that truly keeps her audience enthralled.

Catherine’s new album is entitled Home Truths.

They’re the best truths – direct, personal, and from the heart. Just the

way Catherine sings.

This album is also a new beginning. This is in over 20 years as a completely independent Australian artist. It’s a decision based on Catherine wanting complete control of her career – and having ownership of her own recording masters and copyrights. That’s something that – now as a parent of two young children – she believes is important – and something to pass on to them.

This independence was possibly largely due to the loyalty and passion of Catherine’s fans who have been with her on this ongoing journey of music and song. A crowd funding campaign more than exceeded expectations and was a

Also very importantly all the songs on Home Truths were written or co-written by Catherine.

That’s the way it is with home truths – they need to come directly from the heart of the person doing the telling.

She has lived a life in the world of entertainment most will never experience or dream of. The archetypal Aussie girl from the coal works of Newcastle uprooted herself at 17 years old and moved for six years to Nashville TN (USA) where she gained a deep knowledge massive statement of the belief Catherine’s fans have in her, her songs and music.

Home Truths is that it was produced

by Catherine – and performed by her all

dancing, all singing, super talented, and beyond versatile Australian band of smoulderingly good players. It was mixed

by Ted Howard and mastered in the USA by Jim DeMain.

history as well as touring extensively and releasing top 40 Billboard hits.

How did this happen you may well ask.

Not every 17 year old moves from Newcastle to Nashville to pursue

their musical dreams.

Well, the story is that a certain Elton John (yes, THAT Elton John – not to be mistaken for...) heard Catherine during one of his Australian tours in the early 2000s.

So impressed with Catherine was Elton that he took her albums back to America with him and helped get a deal with RCA Records.

Catherine’s recording career commenced in 1999 when, at the age of EP followed in 2001 by her debut album release.

Since then she has released six more studio albums as well as a Best Of album.

EWAN KENNEDY The German car makers are all very serious about the need to lower the emissions of greenhouse gases, so are working hard on reducing them by designing electric vehicles. As a highperformance marque Porsche is one of the

Hence the introduction of the all-electric Taycan high-performance sedan – yes sedan, this is a four-door family car, not a two-door coupe.

Porsche tells us the name Taycan is composed of two terms of Turkic origin and can be roughly translated as “soul of a spirited young horse.” Porsche tells model will be: “lively, impetuous, vigorous, light-footed on long stretches without tiring, and free-spirited.”

Okay, this may sound like a bit of over-blown earth Aussies, but once we drove it, we did tend to agree with the way the Porsche Taycan felt. See our comments on this in the Driving segment of this report.

STYLING

Taycan looks slightly odd at the front to my eyes, with its slightly bulbous “bonnet” and the vertical lines beside the headlights. Beauty is of course in the eyes of the beholder and others may love it.

I reckon the rear is much better from a styling point of view,

with a swooping coupelike tail and a large black sunroof which merges beautifully with the black glass of the rear window.

INTERIOR There’s a very wide dash array, with three screens. The one in front of the driver is large and contains plenty of information on the Taycan’s state of play.

The centre screen gives access to numerous features, including speed, current power consumption, distance to empty, navigation and temperature control.

The left screen is in front of the passenger and lets them keep an eye on the map to assist with navigation.

There more space inside than you might expect, partly due to the metres long. There’s

seating for four and those in the back won’t have to ask those in front of them to give up any of their space. However, tall people in the back might brush against the roof.

The front seats are heated and cooled and are nicely shaped to support without being too aggressive.

INFOTAINMENT A 14-speaker Bose audio provides excellent output and we found it easy to adjust it to our preferences.

POWERTRAIN There are two electric motors one at the front the other at the rear. The front has a 175kW/400Nm on the Turbo S, the rear provides up to 335kW and 550Nm when it’s over boosted to give even more grunt.

The range of the Turbo S is rated as 390 to 416 kilometres by Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure.

As a strong selling point the Taycan in Australia is that it comes with a free three-year Chargefox subscription.

SAFETY Porsche Taycan was

my head was thumped back into the headrest and my neck felt strained. I didn’t make that mistake again, making sure it was against the headrest thereby avoiding the neck strain and enjoying to the full the dragsterlike performance.

Back when I was a young fella road testing high-performance cars in the 1970s anything under six seconds to 60mph (97 km/h) and quicker than 15 seconds for the quarter mile was the goal. And that need a large hot V8.

This electric Porsche is well under three seconds to 100 km/h, and single mile. How times have changed.

On the road Taycan has clever electronics to assist cornering by

horsepower. It had a top speed of 25 km/h.

RURAL NEWS 51

FEAR FACTOR IN FRESH FOOD SUPPLY

A government report has revealed farmers are afraid to speak out on their dealings with the major supermarkets because of a “fear of retribution”.

NSW Farmers Dairy Committee Chair Colin Thompson said the from the inaugural Food and Grocery Code review vindicated the efforts to secure fairness in fresh food supply chains.

“The majority of pay rise negotiations were fruitless for farmers in 2021 and almost a third of major supermarket suppliers cited ‘fear of retribution’ as a reason for not raising issues under the Code,” Mr Thompson said.

“Something is clearly wrong when people are afraid of having their say, and it’s clear that many farmers won’t raise concerns or

ask for improved pay arrangements because of how powerful these supermarkets are.”

While Mr Thompson commended Coles and Woolworths for complying with the Code’s voluntary reporting regime, he said there was clear room for improvement in fresh food supply arrangements.

“The perishability of their produce basically means farmers are price-takers and are in a vulnerable position in their supply chains,” Mr Thompson said.

“This dynamic can give rise to abuse of power by bigger players, such as wholesalers and retailers.

“However, we do need to recognise there was some positive feedback, particularly for Aldi.”

Mr Thompson said NSW Farmers had been pushing for change in this space and had a key

breakthrough with the Perishable Agricultural Goods (PAG) inquiry and its subsequent “NSW Farmers has advocated for intervention to make supply chains such as dairy, horticulture and poultry meat more equitable – essentially so that farmers can receive the pay they deserve for their produce,” Mr Thompson said.

“Our advocacy led to a Treasury-led ACCC power dynamics are likely to favour wholesalers, processors and retailers, and the ACCC made a suite of recommendations to help remedy this situation. commitments for legislative reforms to protect farmers from unfair trading practices.”

ENERGY FIT FOR THE REGIONS

NSW Farmers is moving agriculture ahead of the energy transition with a new working group to help manage the shift to renewable energy sources.

The Energy Transition Working Group will look at the challenges and opportunities arising amount of new energy infrastructure earmarked for regional NSW as part of upcoming Renewable Energy Zones (REZs).

Working Group chairman Reg Kidd from Orange said it was all about getting the settings right for the communities at the heart of development.

“We absolutely support a transition to renewable energy generation, but we need to ensure that impacts are minimised, in the regions and opportunities aren’t missed,” Mr Kidd said.

“The NSW Government has set out to completely transform our energy system within 15 years, which is about half the time our current

grid took to build - we must make sure the needs of agriculture and regional NSW are not overlooked in the fast-tracking of this ambitious goal.”

Mr Kidd said high levels of investor interest coupled with co-ordination from government could bring opportunities to drive higher standards.

“The Central West Orana REZ is oversubscribed with developer interest at nine to one, meaning there is a real opportunity to be selective with the projects that are approved and compel proponents to adopt the highest possible standards,” Mr Kidd said.

“Government is going to get to choose which projects go ahead, and we want to make sure the things that matter to agriculture and regional communities are part of that criteria.”

Mr Kidd said factors such as location, commitments to local jobs and procurement,

community engagement, decommissioning and end of life arrangements should all be considered.

Furthermore, the Working Group was also very interested in reform to the NSW planning system to better protect and retain the state’s “Whether it’s energy developments or transmission lines, we need good strategic planning that recognises the value of agricultural land and protects it for future generations,” Mr Kidd said.

“Planning decisions based on cost alone are short-sighted and will come at the expense of regional NSW. “The bulk of the energy transition will take place in the regions, and for it to be successful it needs the support of those communities – so we are inviting government to work with us to achieve just that.”

LITTLE BAY, SOUTH WEST ROCKS A true hidden gem on the North Coast, South West Rocks has been a secret escape for those in the know for decades.

The quiet town at the mouth of the Macleay River is beloved for its sandy beaches, national parks, family-friendly atmosphere, colonial heritage, but most of all, its obscurity. The secret may be out though, as more and more Sydneysiders head north for relaxed beach times and to hit the surf. Go for brunch at Malt & Honey and spend the night in the colourful bowling alley and bar at Social Alley. There’s plenty of cool places to lay your head, too: relax in luxury at the town’s modern beach cabins at Salt or spend the night up high in the Smoky Cape Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage.

WAGGA BEACH One of the country’s top beaches just so happens to be 275 kilometres from the nearest coastline.

Located along the Murrumbidgee River, inland Wagga Beach was voted ninth on Tourism Australia’s list of Top 20 Beaches for 2020, and deservedly so, with sandy banks to camp on, lush national parkland to explore and plenty of water activities. Just

Although allergies are normally associated with the spring and fall, it may feel like allergy season never left this winter. From cold fronts to rainy days and back to warmer days, an allergy expert at Baylor College of Medicine explains that it is not uncommon for frequent weather changes to worsen people’s allergy symptoms.

“People who have allergies, sinusitis, asthma quently complain that their symptoms get worse with changes in the weather, and it seems like it’s when various fronts come through and there is a big temperature change,” said Dr. David Corry, professor of medicine-immunology, allergy and rheumatology at Baylor.

Pollen

Tree and grass pollen are one of the most com-

allergies. When the weather brings a mix of sev-

eral cold and warm fronts, Corry explains that it can carry pollen in the air from other parts of the country, such as pollen from Juniper Ashe trees in West Texas.

“When fronts come from the west to the east, they can bring a lot of pollen, particularly in the ‘cedar fever’ season, which is roughly during mid-January to February,” Corry said. “Those fronts can bring in that cedar pollen, which is extremely abundant and irritating.”

Mold

Another main cause of allergies is mold spores.

When weather fronts bring in a series of thunderstorms, rain or other forms of precipitation, the wet environment can cause mold to bloom strongly and trigger allergy symptoms.

“The main thing that might be bothering people’s allergies is mold, which can be in the air at any time of year,” Corry said. “It gets worse

In a world where we can feel social pressure to portray a certain image, this subject may seem ironic. But talking about our end of life doesn’t need to be gloomy, it opens up conversation inviting others to understand our wishes and to consider theirs. It provides clarity where there may have only been questions.

Being at an ‘end of life age’ is an opportunity to talk with loved ones about how and where you would like to be cared for when the inevitable does arrive. Making notes and researching options can prove interesting.

In Japan, they have celebrated their awareness of forward planning with fairs and seminars.

Hair and makeup artists work their magic and photographers follow up with a funeral portrait session. You can browse the coffins, even try them out for size! There are companies who make shrouds and clothing, so one may try on and choose attire.

Leaving these decisions to others and our loved ones is fast becoming a thing of the past, as options increase to claim responsibility for ourselves and come back into the hands of the community. The conversations you have now will pave the way for future generations and will be remembered with gratitude.

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

Those were the days my friend, spare me The sky had assumed that shade of grey that old people favour for their slippers, so you knew the sun had risen, somewhere.

The wrinkled, coloured balloons hung limply from the canopy of the party boat dawdling lazily upstream for the second bout of festivities of the new year, mocking the egos and expectations of the sailors on board.

‘I left my heart to sappers at Khe Sanh’, blared intolerably loudly for those on the bank let alone the wheelhouse, and you thought, ‘geez, you wouldn’t be a musician for quids’, which is just as well given they haven’t earned much since we learned ‘there were no V-day heroes in 1973’, and even less in the past two years.

Who knew Don Walker and Jimmy were so prescient, and 1978 was the last time anyone went looking for new music at new year instead of trotting out tired old classics at every opportunity, not least January 1.

Modern musos must be tearing their shavedheaded hair out - which perhaps is the problem ñ how do they get people to listen?

There are radio stations entirely devoted to ‘classics’, spare us please, and the ABC can’t find anything more modern than ‘I am You are’, or the Sundays from 1997.

How many songs can they ruin?

Sporting bodies seem immoveable from Freddie

or Tina, or Cher. There are grandparents born since their songs were hits, who themselves can’t resist turning back time.

Anthems they call them.

Hey, we’ve got one of those already, and okay it needs more tweaking than Scotty from Marketing allowed - how empathetic, Scotty, almost worth the $200,000 empathy coach, so how about spending another $200k and change the date of Australia Day while you still can - but I digress, and more on that in a fortnight.

Okay, okay, before our neighbours expose us, there WE were, in the wee hours, dancing unashamedly like our best moves were behind us, to the writhing falsetto of Barry Gibb.

Yes, guilty and true, we could have, should have, just tuned into JJJ, the only branch of the ABC, indeed perhaps all media, who are truly more bohemian than Bohemian Rhapsody.

To add to the guilt, our wine list on NYE paralleled the music, old classics, albeit new vintages. Surely that counts?

So let’s (unashamedly) have a look at some classics of 2021.

Elderton Barossa Valley ‘Command’ Shiraz 2018, $125.

We commanded a good shiraz on NYE, and managed to commandeer one of Barossa’s true classics. It’s been going since 1984, co-incidentally the same year Tina released ‘What’s love got to do with it’. So we put that on too. Solid, super shiraz.

9.6/10.

MollyDooker McLaren Vale ‘Velvet Glove’ Shiraz, 2012, $200.

Found this old treasure lurking in the wrong part of the cellar, whoops, but it’s probably more delightful and delicious than it would have been if we hadn’t lost it. Proper red wine with a proper velvet label. 9.7/10.

Robert Oatley Margaret River Limited Release (Larry Cherubino) Assemblage (Cabernet Blend) 2017, $70. (728 Cases).

Is this a classic in the making? It is in our household, and that’s not many cases, so one feels a little guilty about having diminished that number by 1/12th, but it’s worth the anguish.

Absolutely lovely stuff, and a bargain at this price. 9.8/10.

Yabby Lake Vineyard Mornington Peninsula Single Block Release Block 1 Pinot Noir 2018, $100.

Anything that wins a Jimmy Watson Trophy gains automatic classic status, even if you can’t remember who won it and when.

This pinnacular pinot won in 2012. Practically modern! 9.7/10.

Tahbilk Ngambie Lakes Marsanne 2020, $20.30.

Tired of the same old same old? A young, truly classic marsanne could liven your weary palate and NYE and you can have it old too like an ABC Classic listener. Better than cake in that case.

9.4/10.

Taylors Estate Limestone Coast Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, $22.

The stalwart of student days continues its stalwart duties decades on and just as reliably. For anyone wanting to go back to study, you are well catered for and still affordable even to those building a HECS debt. 9.3/10.

Your relationships and love life improve immeasurably too, with invitations and proposals making life seem a bit of a whirl. Any physical activities are less of an effort than usual. Put your sneakers and do the exercise you enjoy most. 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!

Leo Jul2323- AUG - Aug LEO JUL 22 23 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 situation is important. You discover that sometimes taking a step back is necessary to further advance your point of view. 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!

Taurus Apr - May TAURUS APR 2021 - MAY 20 21 Practice more self-restraint, far too easily you feel you’re deliberately provoked, even over the slightest matters. Without warning your excess energy erupts in a bad temper.

Obviously this isn’t acceptable to those you know, self-discipline and compromise is essential.

Such relentless behavior results in problems both at home and at work. Watch out that these excesses don’t become a noticeable feature in other areas of your life. You need to be more self-aware and make sure that it doesn’t. The pressure of your circumstances 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 self-control can ease the situation.

Virgo Aug2324 - Sep VIRGO AUG - SEP 22 22 ready to make improvements both at work as well as on the home front in ways you have not attempted before.

It’s easy for you to lose control and become embroiled in arguments which can cause problems that dent your pride. The maxim to follow is; to think twice before you act and proceed one step at a time with extra caution. Don’t let yourself be so easily provoked, consider situations sensibly before way to proceed. Your love life can be unfavourably affected by your deeply passionate feelings, which could easily cause tension and clashes with your can be a great help in easing the situation between you, but any arguments that might possibly be on-going are by sex alone.

GEMINI MAYMay 21 - JUNE Gemini 22 - 20 June 23 express yourself, you run the risk of alienating people with your unthinking attitude towards them. You’re totally preoccupied with matters that are important to you and concern you alone, and therefore appear very demanding. A far more diplomatic approach is required, make your request in an appropriately polite way and you’re less likely to cause offense. Always treat others the way you want to be treated yourself and create a stress-free environment for all. 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.

LIBRA SEP - OCT 22 23 Libra Sep2323 - Oct You’re keyed up, enthusiastic and feel able to accomplish everything you set out to achieve. If you are striving for more professional responsibility, show others what you are capable of, demonstrate your abilities, it’s easy to realize your goals without unsettling those who may previously have felt threatened by your ambition. Your opinions are acknowledged and the ideas you have on almost any matter accepted. This applies to all discussions; you’re able to convince others of your point of view.

Your ambition cannot be overlooked, especially not in you’re able to discern any sign of desire in your lover.

But be careful you don’t become too demanding! This pamper your lover, they are then much more likely to respond well to your own desires and needs.

Cancer Jun - Jul CANCER JUN 21 -24JULY 22 22 You are capable of being extremely productive and making a success of whatever you do. However be careful of over-reacting if you feel threatened; you tend to respond bad-temperedly or even insensitively. Hold yourself back if confronted and refrain from making enemies or from the temptation to deliberately provoke others, behavior like this is very unproductive and likely to cause you unwanted problems. Step back from time to time and use your energy both purposefully and thoughtfully!

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.

Scorpio Oct2324- NOV - Nov SCORPIO OCT 21 20 Instead of always attempting to get your own way, and endeavoring to persuade others to help you, you yourself to work a bit harder and accomplish what you need. If tempted to argue with others it’s far better to give in, especially if what’s to stop you holding on to what you believe in and waiting for a more favorable opportunity to put your point across, when you have thoroughly thought it through. Your sensitivity and richness of ideas make you great company, easy to have fun with. The time 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 is unlimited!

SagittariusNOV Nov SAGITTARIUS 22 -22 DEC- 21Dec 21 Try handling your additional energy with some caution. If you‘re not careful you might become involved in endless conversations that completely waste your time. Focus on projects that are not likely to risk upsetting people that you will probably need in the future. For example, campaigning against your boss will probably be draining and challenging and therefore it may be better to use your surplus energy doing some healthy exercise. Again, the general rule is: Everything in moderation. 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.

Capricorn CAPRICORN DECDec 22 - 22 JAN-19Jan 20 Asserting yourself in a meaningful and pleasant manner you’re able to motivate others and if need be respond positively to those who seek your advice. Your reserves of energy stand you in good stead and as long as you prioritize what is important you are likely to succeed. Such an unwavering approach earns you the respect and support of those close to you. You’re able to pay attention to detail, not demand too much, accomplish what you set out to achieve and take full responsibility for the outcome. 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 with brusqueness. With a more sophisticated approach, you’re more likely to be met with approval. Simply be a little bit more patient!

AQUARIUS janJan 20 - 21 feb-18Feb 19 Aquarius 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, 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’re irresistible, sociable and outgoing, you’ve got the ability to respond well 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.

PiscesFEB Feb PISCES 19 -20MAR- Mar 20 21 You possess a higher than usual level of pent up anger that needs dealing with in a constructive way, if you don’t want to suffer from the consequences. Ease up on the talking and avoid putting others on the defensive. If you require help from others be more patient and diplomatic in the way you approach them. Even if you personally feel on top form , be prepared to take things at a more leisurely pace otherwise you may suffer setbacks from unnecessarily taking on far more than you able to handle. 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 approach is like a full on assault, rather than being seductive in any way.
