Wardell retiree’s million-dollar Lotto win A Wardell retiree has landed himself a million-dollar Lotto win by using the same set of lottery numbers he saw score division one eight years ago.

The Northern Rivers resident held the only division one winning entry in Monday and Wednesday Lotto draw 4151 on Wednesday, January 26 and takes home $1 million.

The winner ticket was unregistered, so officials from The Lott had no way of contacting the winner to break the news and had to wait for him to come forward to claim his prize.

“Wow! I can’t believe it! I had absolutely no idea,” the winning man explained when speaking with an official from The Lott.

“On Wednesday, April 23, 2014, the same set of lottery numbers won

division one on Monday and Wednesday Lotto.

“Ever since I’ve been playing the same numbers every Wednesday!

“I wasn’t having much luck with the numbers I was initially playing and decided to copy them.

“I guess it worked out!

“I’ve been playing lottery games since 1983, so it feels incredible to have won division one.

“You always dream of winning division one and never expect it to happen! It’s so surreal.

“As soon as I found out, I rang my mother

and sister.

“I’d love to help pay my sister’s mortgage off and help the rest of my family with the prize.

“Thank you! Thank you!”

His winning entry was purchased at Alstonville Newsagency.

Cr Mulholland steps up for the region

Danielle’s new position EXCLUSIVE LARA LEAHY

the Local Government in 2022, Cr Danielle Mulholland is very pleased to announce that she has been elected by councillors and mayors regional director.

Followed by voting for the committee members, Cr Mulholland has been appointed to the Policy Review Committee.

The Senior Executive Group election saw Cr Mulholland adopted as an alternate delegate to the Australian Local Government Association Board (ALGA).

“I am so excited to have been elected to the Policy Review Committee - this was the one committee I wanted to be on as this committee will meet to prioritise motions passed at conference to determine our future policy positions and around what issues we will be advocating to the state and federal governments,” Cr Mulholland said.

Cr Danielle Mulholland

“I am also pleased that I have been appointed as an alternate delegate to the Australian Local Government Association Board.”

In recent history, board representation has only come as far north as Coffs Harbour and Bellingen.

Cr Mulholland explains

body representatives for local government.

“This is where major change happens along with increased access to Ministers, Senior Advisors and public servants at the state and federal level.”

This will not alter Cr Mulholland’s dedication to the people of Kyogle

and ALGA are our peak

I remain committed to representing the

residents and ratepayers of the Kyogle Council area, I see this as an opportunity for our entire region to have a voice on the board.

“I intend to be a very active member and now I no longer have all the Mayoral duties, I also intend to be more active in C ward to best represent the interests of those villages who still don’t

have a basic standard of living, especially relating to adequate roads, footpaths, kerb and guttering and in some instances, even connectivity to water or sewer.

“However, when elected to Council, Councillors are expected to represent the interests of the residents of the whole LGA and I will continue to do that to the best of my ability.”

There are many areas of responsibility that Cr Mulholland sees where statewide perspectives share a commonality at rural council level.

As a start, “infrastructure backlog, cost shifting and historic underfunding by the state government, the ridiculous amount of (hidden) rate levies, the chronic housing shortage, transport, aged care, climate change, environmental issues, domestic violence, issues affecting the farming sector.”

Cr Mulholland has been appointed for a two year term, and she “intends to make the most of it, as I always do. ‘Happy Dance’.”

Sex offending Coffs doctor struck off TIM HOWARD A Coffs Harbour doctor convicted in 2020 for child sex offences has also been struck off the medical register for at least five years.

Murray Govan was charged with a number of offences in April 2019 and in May 2020 the NSW District Court convicted him to four years and six months jail.

With parole and time served he is eligible for release this month, but the tribunal heard he was likely to be deported to New Zealand on his release.

The Health Care Complaints Commission brought Dr Govan’s case before the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal, which heard the case between September and December last year.

Publication of its findings was restricted until January 11.

It found the HCCC case, which relied on transcripts from the court

hearings, proven, but also took into account defence evidence from the court.

The defence argued Dr Govan, who was 48 in 2019, had begun offending at a late age.

A psychologist’s report said he had a major depressive disorder, alcohol use disorder and pedophilic disorder, or a non-exclusive type, sexually attracted to females.

“Mr Govan appears to have experienced an emergence of regressive sexual urges and impulses as a consequence of his untreated major depressive disorder.

This is consistent with an absence of past sex offending behaviour, Mr Govan’s report that he has not been attracted to young person [sic] and apparent late emergence of this disorder. Mr Govan does not appear to suffer from another paraphilic disorder,” the report read.

The psychologist said

his risk or re-offending was lower than of a “typical offender” but higher than that of a non-offender.

Another expert noted that while scores on psychiatric tests indicated “a quite severe personality disorder”, offenders his age, who expressed the level of shame and remorse Mr Govan displayer, were less likely to reoffend.

He said Mr Govan’s offending was restricted to a particular type of offending, which did not include attraction to young people he would see in his normal day to day life.

But he also noted that had Mr Govan not been arrested in 2019, he would have continued to offend and his level of offending would probably have escalated.

He said time in jail, removing access to online child pornography site, monitoring of his activities and other treatment would reduce, but not eliminate the risk

Evans Head beach drive ends in troubled waters

of reoffending.

The tribunal also heard submissions from members of the public, including a woman who was in a relationship with Mr Govan, that these activities were totally out of character.

The tribunal said neither Mr Govan nor his representative, Mr Neil, had presented any evidence to convince it to go against the HCCC request to deregister Mr Govan.

“In reality, the respondent (Mr Govan) has raised nothing which militates against making the findings urged on behalf of the applicant (HCCC) or, if findings in those terms were made, making protective orders in the terms sought by the applicant,” the tribunal noted.

The tribunal also noted Mr Neil, who asked the tribunal that Mr Govan be “given another chance”, had not produced material evidence to support that request.

“Mr Neil appears, in ways that were not made clear, to have been primarily involved in the respondent’s life in the last four years in a financial role of an unspecified nature,” it said.

The tribunal said the HCCC submission was not controversial, that Mr Govan had been convicted of offences resulting in a jail sentence and it had made its case.

The tribunal said: “the circumstances of the respondent’s offending were identified, accurately, in support of the foregoing submission. Had it “gone unchecked”, the conduct of the respondent was submitted to have been likely to cause “doleful physical and mental harm to a vulnerable and innocent member of the community”.

Similar submissions were made in support of the applicant’s contention that the respondent’s ‘sinister

personal attributes’ are ‘the very opposite of the professional responsibility with which he was charged’.”

The tribunal said its primary role in this instance was the safety of the public and the behaviour of Mr Govan and that “render him unfit in the public interest to practise medicine, and that the protection of the health and safety of the public requires that the Respondent’s registration be cancelled pursuant to s 149C(1) of the National Law.” The tribunal said while it was probable these findings would be published and available to the New Zealand authorities, the HCCC was free to inform them of the decision and the tribunal’s reasoning.

Mr Govan’s licence to practice was cancelled for five years from December 22, 2021. He cannot apply for a review of this decision for five years.

COUNCIL BRIEFS Community Initiatives funding Clarence Valley Council is looking for ways it can spend nearly $70,000 it has available to help fund community projects.

Twice a year, it offers funding opportunities for groups via cash input, fee donations and rates waivers to help keep their organisations sustainable.

In 2020/21 the council supported a range of local projects and initiatives, with 58 receiving a total of $69,402 in cash, fee waiver and rates waiver donations.

The next round opens March 1. Groups can prepare by having a committee meeting, listing your priorities and applying for funding.

The council also offers one-on-one assistance to people or organisations needing help to write the grant application.

Tweed Regional Gallery The Gallery will present two new exhibitions by artists of the region from Friday, February 4 to Sunday, April 17: Habitat by Gold Coast ceramicists Megan Puls and Jo Norton, and SOS

by Northern Rivers artist Belle Raine.

All are welcome to attend the opening celebrations on Friday, February 11, 6–8 pm. $25. Bookings essential: februaryopenings. eventbrite.com.au. Light refreshments will be provided.

Funding approved LARA LEAHY Federal Member for Page, Kevin Hogan, equalling $2,048,312 to upgrade the Kyogle CBD, on January 24.

“These upgrades will help to support existing businesses by encouraging the community to shop locally and drawing in more visitors,” Mr Hogan said.

“It will also provide spaces that can be utilised for a range of community events and gatherings.”

Kyogle Council Mayor Kylie Thomas said, “We can be very proud of what we have achieved in partnership with the Federal Government.”

There was a meeting in the main street of Kyogle that Monday to discuss the latest version of the intended plans where Mr Hogan, Cr Thomas, councillors Tom Cooper, Rob Cullen and James Murray were in attendance.

Areas of discussion were around the heat that the main street generates, the importance of maintaining existing historical features, like the town clock (staying in its current location) and creating “Chat spots” where people can comfortably talk when they bump into each other in the street.

There was interest in creating nicer meeting spaces and proximity

“One of the largest concerns by the public has been for the loss of parking spaces,” Cr Thomas said.

Cr Thomas went on to report that the plans had been altered to minimise this issue, and the current plan only sees the loss of 5 or 6 spaces.

A combination of sails and trees will be used to minimise the loss of spaces, while providing shade and conversation spaces where people can chat in greater comfort.

Cr Cullen has been quite involved and says the feedback so far “has been divided” as to where the public priority lies. Aesthetics and a scenic main road versus the practicalities like

Saffin seeks $25-million roads package for Lismore City Council JANELLE SAFFIN STATE MEMBER FOR LISMORE

Fireys rescue a turtle A fire crew has lived up to Fire and Rescue NSW’s motto of being prepared for anything, helping to rescue an injured sea turtle near Evans Head, on the state’s far north coast.

The FRNSW team from Evans Head responded to a call for assistance at Broadwater Beach just before 2pm on Tuesday, January 25.

The crew assisted officials from the Sea World Marine Park,

lifting the 350kg turtle onto a “spinal” board, which they used as a sled to drag the large reptile along the beach and over sand dunes to a waiting recovery vehicle.

The turtle has been transferred to Sea World’s veterinary hospital for specialist treatment.

For the FRNSW crew, it was another case of “all’s shell that ends shell”.

As I drive around the Lismore Electorate I get to see the state of the roads firsthand.

Each Local Government Area has its particular concerns and for the Lismore LGA it is the state of the roads and the pothole hazards.

I know where most of the potholes lurk and I understand when local people tell me their concerns.

I have been working to secure an extra $25 million over five years for road funding for Lismore City Council (LCC) as they have a good case for extra support.

The Lismore LGA did not receive an adequate share of disaster relief funding after the catastrophic damage of the 2017 Cyclone Debbie floods.

Not one MP or councillor at the time pursued Category D

WORKING FOR LISMORE: Newly-minted Lismore Mayor Cr Steve Krieg and State Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin have already developed a good working relationship, particularly on the issue of roads funding. funding.

In July last year, the LCC General Manager Michael Donnelly asked if I could get him and the then Mayor Vanessa Ekins a meeting with the then Minister for Local Government, the Honourable Shelley Hancock MP. I secured the meeting and it went extremely

well with the Lismore delegation presenting a very well-prepared case.

I lobbied the former Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Paul Toole for particular consideration for LCC due to the impact of floods and high rainfall.

I also made a special plea for changes to future disaster funding so that

roads can be repaired to a better standard, to resist water damage.

The current criteria prohibits councils repairing roads to a better standard which perpetuates the cycle of rain – potholes: patch repeat.

Late last year I lobbied the new Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, The Honourable Sam Farraway MLC, in support of LCC’s case for the extra $25 million over five years, outside the regular grants to councils.

I understand that Minister Farraway is responding positively to my advocacy.

Regional roads funding over the past few decades has not been adequate for our area.

The NSW National/ Liberals in the 2017 election promised to take back responsibility for 15-thousand kilometres of local roads but so far has taken back less than 400 kilometres.

Kindness in a time of need MATTHEW BELL The local-led group Community Covid Support Byron Shire has been a lifeline for many residents who are Covid positive or in isolation.

Launched via Facebook in December, the group is centred around those seeking or offering support to anyone who is struggling with Covid.

Emma Moses and Ritamba Allen started the group when cases in the region began to explode in the wake of the Omicron variant late last year.

“My friend Ritamba started the group when the recent rapid rise in Covid cases. She was concerned there may be a need to connect people to assistance with meeting day to day,” Emma said.

The page is filled with posts offering to run errands such as grocery shopping for those stuck at home and generous offers of home cooked meals. In true

community spirit, there are many messages of positivity and tips to help those in isolation mentally manage their situation.

Emma said: “Ritamba is gaining a reputation of the ‘broth queen’ and keeping people nourished with her cooking.”

With over 950 members, the group has brought the community together in a time that has been challenging for the area, particularly the discourse surrounding the virus and vaccines creating a divide.

“There has been some relief that the community divide that has emerged over the course of the pandemic has been given a space to try and overcome those divides, to focus on helping each other in a practical sense, rather than constantly debating the same issues,” she said.

Emma highlighted other issues affecting the Byron Shire that have

made circumstances worse than they need to be and is calling for new and relevant policies from the government.

“I think the increased financial strain in an area of high casual employment, the temporary closing of many businesses, general financial strain and the feeling of being abandoned by our leaders has exacerbated feelings of depression, anxiety and isolation.

Much of this could be alleviated by easier access to financial support and support services in general,” Emma said.

As case numbers in the region continue to rise, the group offers a sense of community and connectiveness in what can be a lonely and trying scenario for many.

Emma said the success of the group is “really a community effort, that is where the real credit is due.”

PETS LEFT IN VEHICLES Today I witnessed a small, distressed dog being left in a car for at least twenty minutes at a shopping centre in Ballina.

Unfortunately, the three organisations who should have attended this were unable to do anything about it.

• one was too slow, and the driver departed the scene, • another showed no interest in the matter, • and the third said they had no longer had the power to follow up after a NSW government department took their ability to search owners via car registration away from them.

How many times do pet owners need to be told never to leave their pet in a hot car in the sun, while they go shopping?

They do not deserve to own a pet.

I would love to have this car registration

CHANGING THE DATE Changing the date of Australia Day is going to do nothing to empower indigenous Australians.

While Mabo day would be good to celebrate indigenous culture. The only way to impower indigenous Australians is to have them in more state federal government positions and on local council that will give them legal clout on issues of racism land rights and cultural practices.

We’d love to hear from you!

VICTORIAN DERELICT RAIL TRAILS Rail trails in Victoria have a very high percentage that are now derelict and overgrown The Rail Trail in South Gippsland still to this day is incomplete and Yarram to Woodside was sold off by the rail trail committee. Inclement coastal storms constantly destroy the trail which is poorly maintained as the committee fell apart leaving South Gippsland Shire to deal with it.

Even they have walked away many times as it is a white elephant All stations and infrastructure are derelict and most destroyed now due to lack of care or maintenance

by Rail Trail and many were burnt down or pulled down despite the promise to care take them The Korumburra station complex has now been sold off to developers, yet the trail isn’t even built. They ripped up the line in the middle of the night and it was only running trains 1 year prior Cranbourne end of the station and a few kilometres of track have been sold off to developers for houses, permanently isolating the line in an attempt to mothball it. The same overgrown abandonment exists on all of them.

They are in a worse condition than when

there were rails there from an agricultural perspective Motor bikes, vandalism, meth users, and junkies are a serious problem on the Moe to Yallourne rail trail (I personally travelled past the Moe rail trail twice daily for 4 weeks when visiting my dying sister there and never saw one bike rider on the track in the 4 weeks Gippsland Plains saw all rail infrastructure demolished and sections including Maffra station and all rail land in Maffra sold off into private ownership including the heritage station and all the gravel embankment and ballast was also sold The rail trail in Gathra is also allowing housing to take the railway land. There have been many stories about the rail trails in the South Gippsland Times Sentinel paper from people with great concerns and it seems there are an endless number of examples of loss of public rail infrastructure. It’s sad but I feel that is what is going to happen all around Australia If the valuable rail infrastructure is not sold off it can be leased for 99 years The Tweed Shire council has never had a community consultation in the shire which is required by law for the loss of heritage railway tracks which were built by good men with horse and sulkies and opened in 1894 They have already ripped up a lot of tracks at Dunbible

The local quote was considerably lower than the national company.

The grant application was completed and lodged in May 2021.

WPA was advised of the success of the application for solar panels and hot water, but not the battery storage, in November 2021. The Lennox Head business was advised of the successful application for funds and committed to completing the installation as soon as possible.

WPA’s Funding Deed of Agreement was lodged with the department on 17th December 2021.

The installation of the solar system was completed in December 2021, and the new hot water system was installed early in January.

Most Projects under the CBP program are not yet completed, given Christmas break, etc.

The solar system and

hot water system were installed in a professional manner, with a high level of expertise and consideration for others.

Sadly, the company cannot be paid, as WPA has not received the grant funds. This is because Funding Deeds of Agreement are ‘reviewed’ on an ‘as received’ basis.

WPA’s Funding Deed was received by the Department on 17th December, 2021. Today, WPA was advised the Review team should be dealing with Deeds from this date by the end of February, and funds should be through by mid-March!

$1.5 million for Lennox Head Village upgrade

Local MP Justine Elliot and Shadow Minister for Housing and Homelessness, Regional Services and Local Government Jason Clare have today announced that an Albanese Labor Government will invest $1.5 million to build the final portion of the Lennox Head village upgrade.

This $1.5 million dollar commitment will complete the Lennox

Head Village Project by funding stages 2 and 4 including improvements to Ballina Street and Ross Park as well as stormwater and pavement reconstruction and installation of street furniture and landscaping.

“Lennox Head is one of our most beautiful coastal villages, and this upgrade will continue to uphold the feel of Lennox we

know and love, while providing infrastructure improvements for locals,” Justine said.

“We know that visitor numbers in Lennox Head are increasing as more people are drawn to this stunning location – but as that happens across the region, we need to ensure that our locals are catered for and looked after in their own towns.

“I congratulate Ballina Shire Council on the

design and commitment to the Lennox Head upgrade and I am pleased that an Albanese Labor Government will deliver $1.5 million to complete this important project.

“These infrastructure upgrades come in addition to the funding of local infrastructure I have secured for Lennox Head, including the Lennox Head Cultural Centre and upgrades to the schools, clubs and

community groups,” Justine said.

“Only an Albanese Labor Government can be trusted to invest in the infrastructure that our community needs to boost productivity, create jobs and drive economic development. Federal Labor has a strong track record of investing in infrastructure on the North Coast,” Justine said.

“Justine Elliot is a

passionate advocate for her community, especially for important local projects like the Lennox Head village upgrade,” said Jason Clare, Shadow Minister for Regional Services and Local Government.

“This is just another commitment in Richmond that will deliver a better future to locals under an Albanese Labor Government.”

Lennox Village Vision – Stage 1: Temporary closure of Ross Park Ross Park will close from Monday, January 31 until May while new playground equipment is installed and landscaping works are carried out.

Once complete, Ross Park will include a new play space with all-ability carousel, timber fort and nest swing, accessible toilet, interactive sculpture, covered picnic areas, shade trees and seating.

Adjoining carparks in Rayner Lane and Ballina Street will be unavailable

during this temporary closure. Beach access will be maintained through Ross Park.

For other park locations please visit ballina.nsw. gov.au/playgrounds

Undergrounding of the electrical network will also continue along Ballina Street from Monday, January 31.

These works will commence at the

intersection of Park Lane and Ballina Street then continue north.

Noise will be present during construction and, at times, in close proximity to businesses.

This will include open trenching and concrete saw cutting of existing surfaces.

Access to businesses and properties will be maintained, however access arrangement may at times change. Council will liaise directly with businesses in regards to these changes.

Stage two of the Lennox Village Vision project, from Park Lane to the Central Hub, will commence in March 2022. This

stage will include road reconstruction, installation of street furniture and landscaping.

Council apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks the community for their patience during these works.

A concept plan for the Ross Park upgrade includes a new play space, accessible toilet, covered picnic areas, shade trees and seating.

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

PURR PURR PURR… ‘LEEMO CAT’ back.

I am so serene and at peace since I last wrote. You know, when I ate ‘Marty’ our bathroom lizard. (No comments needed!)

Notwithstanding, I recruited another Lizard (yep, only 1) and ‘Mum Jane’ & I named it “Bizirik” which is a Basque name meaning survivor. (A most necessary trait in OUR house!) We had to choose a kinda unisexual name ‘cos neither Mum nor me knew how to check if it was a boy or a girl... well, could YOU tell, with a LIZARD? (Come on...be truthful!) “Bizirik” has settled in nicely.

I’m even catching “Bizirik” flies to stay in Mum’s good graces.

(AND, I picked up 231 leaves out of the 329,257 leaves that I been told to collect!)

(Whoohoo!) But, moving right along.

The only interference to my state of serenity was this morning. I strolled smoothly and gracefully into our dining room heading for my food bowls. Mum was on the floor with her foot on “something” and I astutely noted there was a HUGE pair of garden shears and a hammer beside her. Frankly, the language she was using would even make some Politicians blush.

CRIKEY!? I cautiously approached her and asked ‘Mum, what ARE

you doing? What IS it that you have your foot on? And what’s with the cussy language? Mum, I’m concerned about this scenario confronting me and, truly, about your state of mind’. WELL! The eyebrows were raised to their highest high, her glasses were removed, (oooh nooo... not good!) and I WAS SPOKEN TO! “Leemo, what I am attempting to achieve here is the opening of a bloody packet of hanging moth ball thingies to hang in my winter clothes cupboard. HOWEVER, whilst I CAN SEE the moth ball hanger in this packaging, it is proving a most challenging nightmare to actually GET THEM OUT!!” Eeeek! Mum had 3 packs of these mothy ball hanger packages, and I figured the interruption to my peaceful state of mind could only deteriorate.

Hmmm. Perhaps. I could help? Mum showed me one of the packets. It looked innocuous enough.

Cardboard, Hard Plastic.

Little mothie ball things also in hard plastic INSIDE the first one.

Each pack had a hook.

Hmmm. I poked it.

CRIKEY, it was like a rock? I mauled it a bit...

NUP, nothing GAVE. I then did a ferocious flying pounce from our table and wrestled with it, utilising my razor sharp claws and enviable strong masculine legs…

NUP...not even a slight dent? I was beginning to understand why Mum had those fierce helpie tools. Not wanting her to feel “SAD & useless” about opening a simple pack of mothie deterrents, I suggested we use the hammer “together” and smash it open. She looked a little dubious. I purred loudly and reassured her we could do it. I had first swing. Hmmm. I immediately packed my Plush Blue Blankaie, some treats, and headed off faster than an Ash Barty serve. OMG...I had hit Mum on her big toe. I bid ye farewell lovely readers...

Leemo.

Closing a chapter on some sugarcane history SAMANTHA ELLEY Our footsteps echo through the empty rooms of 234 River Drive, East Wardell as we walk on the solid, Kyogle teak floors.

Therese Walsh is showing me through her house of 53 years that she shared with her husband, Jim Walsh, a cane farmer of five generations.

They were married in 1969 after a mutual friend, a nun, introduced them.

“He was teaching her how to drive and she told me I should meet this man,” Therese said.

“I liked him instantly.”

Thus began a relationship that would last the next five decades as they raised their three sons and grew cane on the fertile plains along the Richmond River at East Wardell.

The era ends this weekend when the four bedroom brick home goes up for auction.

“This was a canefield,” Therese indicates where the house stands. “(Jim) said he wept after every row of cane he had to cut out to build the house.

“It wasn’t common to build brick homes at that time. It was a grand home at the time but

Therese Walsh is selling her home of 53 years this weekend at auction, outside 234 River Drive, East Wardell, and the Walsh home. Photos: Samantha Elley

there are much grander homes now.”

Therese remembers coming to live at Wardell as a young bride.

“It wasn’t long before I got married that the bridge was built,” she said.

“Before that there was a ferry to get over to Wardell.”

Therese also remembers River Drive being the main highway for cars to get to Ballina.

Jim’s family, the Kempnichs started growing cane on the Clarence in the 1850s.

His great-grandfather Jim Kirby grew cane at Pimlico and his father Maurice Walsh, as a young boy, lived out at Thurgates Lane.

He eventually married Helena Kempnich and they established their farm at Carneys Lane, East Wardell.

In an early interview with a local community paper Jim remembers the floods he experienced growing up.

“From 1945 to 1954 we experienced a number of severe floods,” he said.

“Our home was flooded and we were taken in by neighbours, the Carneys whose home was on higher land.

“We also experienced a very severe frost that wiped out the cane for a season.”

Some of the memories he shared in the interview included the ‘sign on’ days for the

cane harvesting season.

“Each run vied with other runs for the best team, the best cook, the best hauler and the best derrick hand,” he said.

“In the early days I felt sorry for the cutters who lived in tents for the season.

“Later there was an improvement by the building of tin barracks.

It must still have been very cold.”

Therese recalls the whole process of burning the cane and harvesting it.

“It was very, very pretty, I loved it,” she said.

“It was when they were still before (mechanical) harvesters.

“There were derricks (wharves with tram tracks) all up and down the river.

“They used to cut the cane and put it on these

rail cars and bring it into the derrick.

“There was one at Sneesby’s Lane and they used to get the load and pull it up somehow and put it in the punts going up and down the river to the mill.

“Every so often the big boat came up from Sydney to collect the sugar and molasses and that’s why there is a lift in the bridge to let that boat through.”

The Walshes started their farm with 40 acres, then 80 acres.

“We ended up buying until we had 600 acres,” said Therese.

“We went through very lean times, went without and that’s what you do.”

The Walshes eventually sold their farm to macadamia growers, after establishing the trees themselves.

“We potted them up

and they shot up and then we put them in bigger pots, looked after them, took off their shoots and got someone to graft them.

“Then we planted them and that is now a thriving area.”

Sadly, Jim passed away in 2020 and Therese knows it is now time to sell up and move on. She will be going to live with one of her sons nearby.

She knows she is leaving an amazing legacy for the next family who will take on the home that has become a part of her history.

In the words of Jim Walsh: “I consider (Wardell) has produced some wonderful folk on whose shoulders we stand today, grateful for all they taught us and left to us as our inheritance.”

Where there’s a Will there’s a way… to support your Westpac Rescue Helicopter Over 70 solicitors across Northern NSW are donating 100% of their time and support to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service’s annual ‘Wills Week’ initiative taking place from March 28 to April 1.

During Wills Week, the public can book an appointment to see a solicitor to receive advice about having a simple* Will drafted or update an existing one.

Booking fees of $125 for individuals (1/2 hour appointment) or $225 for couples (1 hour appointment), are donated in full to the Service, with people getting the benefit of a professionally drafted Will at a greatly reduced price, while also helping the Rescue Helicopter save lives in their local community.

Having an up to date Will is important, with

Wills Week helping people to prepare a Will while also having the option to consider the gift of a bequest.

For charities such as the Rescue Helicopter Service, receiving the support of a bequest is not taken lightly, as the Service understands the importance of the decision that has been made by the donor.

The Service sees the gift of a bequest as an incredible act of generosity and a lasting legacy that gives back to our community.

So for many people, once they have provided for their loved ones, they are also choosing to leave a gift in their Will.

The gift of a bequest, large or small, can help make a difference and

importantly, all support stays locally and directly supports the donor’s local base in either Newcastle, Tamworth or Lismore.

Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service CEO, Richard Jones OAM said Wills Week is a convenient and personally rewarding opportunity to have an up to date Will prepared

and also support the Service.

“Wills Week is not only a great opportunity to ensure that you have a current Will but it also helps to raise vital funds for the Rescue Helicopter. We sincerely appreciate everyone’s support and a special thank you to our participating solicitors and to those who are

looking to leave the gift of a bequest to help our Service to continue saving lives across Northern NSW,” Jones said.

“A bequest is a deeply personal decision and we are always truly humbled when we receive a gift of this type. The impact that a bequest can make, no matter how small or large, is profound as it directly supports our aircraft and crews to assist and be there for others in their time of desperate need,” Jones concluded.

Online bookings are now open and close on February 25. To find out more or to make an appointment online visit rescuehelicopter.com.au/ willsweek or call 1800 155 155. *Booking does not cover the drafting of Power of Attorney documents or complex Wills.

Creating a more caring and resilient region Applications open February 1 to become part of a new network of 100 plus volunteers who will be mobilised across the Northern Rivers, to assist with critical aspects of community building and disaster resilience.

Called Community Carers and Responders, the volunteers will receive free training in first aid and psychological first aid.

They will also learn about disaster resilience and community wellbeing, plus food, water, energy, and housing security.

Once this training is complete CCRs will contribute to building community resilience.

They will go on to implement resilience projects of their own inspiration which create an atmosphere of caring and mutual support

within the community and become conduits between emergency agencies and the community (when needed).

Funded by Resilience NSW, via the Bushfire Community Recovery and Resilience Fund, the project was initiated by Resilient Byron and has support from the Australian

Red Cross, the RFS, FRNSW, SES, Police, Ambulance, community organisations, local councils, and media.

“It’s all about generating inspired action”, said CCR Training Facilitator, Dr Jean Renouf, pictured.

“The 2020 Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements was very

clear. It said ‘Australia’s disaster outlook is alarming’, and, ‘in significant emergencies and disasters, emergency management personnel do not, and never will, have the capability and capacity to solve the emergency threat for every individual at risk’.”

“It’s on us to ensure we are prepared for the next waves of disasters.”

“Our goal is to increase capacity for on-the-ground care in times of disaster and crisis, while also creating better connected local communities. This will lead to communities and neighbourhoods that are better informed and prepared for disasters, improved resilience, wellbeing, and goodwill.”

The team is well placed to create this network.

Dr Renouf has spent

years working in international aid, often in war zones, responding to disasters. He is also a firefighter, the co-chair of Resilient Byron, and lectures on the topic of Community Resilience at Southern Cross University.

CCR Training Facilitator Ella Rose Goninan, has been extremely proactive locally as the Director of Renew Fest (an annual festival for full system regenerative change), and the cofounder and president of COREM a community energy organisation in Mullumbimby.

“We aim to create a network of caring people, who are passionate about acting now to create a more cohesive and resilient future, so if you know of anyone who you think would be a great fit,

please let them know,” said Ms Goninan.

Applications to become a CCR officially open on February 1. Training will be happening in each shire and the team is calling for a diverse, inclusive group of people from across the Northern Rivers.

You can express your interest early by visiting the website: ccrnetwork. org. There is a sign-up box at the bottom of the page which will ensure you receive all the key information about this training.

You can also join Dr Renouf and Ms Goninan in an online information session, where they will answer any questions you may have.

New interns for Lismore and Tweed.

District welcomes interns

NSW Health last week welcomed more than 1,000 interns to the system - a record number of new starters and the most of any state or territory in Australia.

This year, Northern NSW Local Health District has 33 intern positions, an increase of two positions compared

with the previous year.

“We owe a debt of gratitude to the intern class of 2022, many of whom have already worked as Assistants in Medicine as part of the Covid-19 workforce response across NSW,” said Dr Tim Williams, Northern NSW Local Health District

Executive Director Medical Services.

“Many of the new doctors starting at The Tweed Hospital and Lismore Base Hospitals are familiar with the Northern Rivers, having completed student placements in our region, and it’s great to see them now returning or staying on to begin their careers.”

“Our interns are a core component of our medical care teams across many

departments within our hospitals, and will continue to play a vital role as we navigate the challenges of this unprecedented, worldwide pandemic.”

The new doctors starting their internship this week will be entering a training program with networked hospitals throughout the state, providing formal and on the job training.

They receive two-year contracts that enable them

to choose to move between metropolitan, regional and rural hospitals to obtain diversity of experience. They also rotate through different units in each hospital, including medicine, surgery and emergency medicine.

Interns are medical graduates who have completed their degree and are required to complete a supervised year of practice in order to become fully registered practitioners.

Covid settings remain The NSW Government will extend current restrictions for another month as the State continues to take a measured response to managing Covid-19 with a focus on a safe return to school and restarting non-elective surgery as soon as possible.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said rolling over these measures would continue to protect the community and our health system.

“We have always said we will respond to what is in front of us and tailor our approach as required and that is exactly what we are doing,” Mr Perrottet said.

“We are transitioning to living with Covid and we will need to continually update our approach to ensure we are keeping people safe and protecting our health system.

“It is vital people continue to come forward and get their booster shots to help keep themselves, their family and the community safe.”

As additional measures, people are encouraged to continue to work from home where possible and to reduce mingling when eating and drinking.

Minister for Health Brad Hazzard said there is plenty of availability and supply of boosters in the NSW Health vaccination clinics so those eligible for their booster shot should book as soon as possible.

“The gap between your second jab and your booster is now just three months, so don’t waste time – the sooner we all get our boosters the sooner we will overcome this Omicron wave,” Mr Hazzard said.

“The NSW community has put in two doses of the Covid vaccine, making us one of the most vaccinated populations worldwide. It’s now extremely important to back it in with your booster to lift your protection against the highly transmissible Omicron strain.”

People aged 18 years and older can receive their booster dose at three months after receiving their second dose of any of the Covid-19 vaccines.

You can book your Covid-19 vaccine or your booster shot, via www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/ vaccination/get-vaccinated.

More information is available at nsw.gov.au.

CURRENT SETTINGS Current settings will continue from Thursday, January 27 until Sunday, February 28, including: - Hospitality venues, including pubs, clubs, restaurants and cafes, and nightclubs must follow the one person per two square metre rule indoors; - Masks are required in all indoor settings (except residences). Masks are strongly encouraged where you cannot maintain a safe distance from others; - QR code check-ins are compulsory at certain premises, including hospitality venues and retail shops; - Singing and dancing is not permitted in hospitality venues, entertainment facilities, nightclubs, indoor music festivals and indoor major recreation facilities (except for weddings, performers, instructors and students).

New councillors hit the ground running Councillors across the State will be given the know-how to work together for the greater good of their local communities when the NSW Government’s 12-week series of Hit the Ground Running webinars begins next month.

Minister for Local Government Wendy Tuckerman said the initiative would invigorate new councillors and enable them to put their best foot forward in the new council term.

“NSW’s 128 councils are big business, employing more than 48,000 people, spending over $12 billion a year on infrastructure, facilities and services, managing assets worth $178 billion, and maintaining 168,000km of roads,” Mrs Tuckerman said.

“That’s why the NSW Government is holding a series of Hit the Ground Running webinars between February and April to arm councillors with

their important civic responsibilities.”

The comprehensive webinars will provide essential information to support the State’s 1259 newly elected councillors at 124 councils to serve their communities.

“Councillors play an integral role in ensuring their council can provide the infrastructure, facilities and services their local residents need and

creating thriving, vibrant and connected communities,” Mrs Tuckerman said.

Government provides comprehensive support for all newly elected and returning councillors across the State to ensure they serve their local communities to the best of their abilities over the next three years.

“These in-depth webinars will cover a councillor’s role and responsibilities,

council meetings, the code of conduct, working together, strategic planning, Crown Lands, water services, and professional development.”

New and returning councillors are encouraged to take advantage of these webinars as they provide essential information and knowledge to help them serve their local communities to the best of their abilities.

Celebration of First Australians TIM HOWARD A new template has been been established for celebrating Australia Day in Grafton after the success of First Nationsthemed celebrations in Market Square.

Organisers Grafton Midday Rotary and local indigenous representatives were excited by the public’s response to an afternoon where people came to enjoy the chance to share stories and explore the culture of the region’s three indigenous nations, the Bundjalung, Gumbaynggirr and Yaegl people.

The person regarded as the driving force behind the event, Grafton Midday Rotary member Mark Blackadder, was able to ensure the event attracted the type of funding that goes a long way to ensuring success.

Mr Blackadder said the National Australia Day Council had offered around 20 clubs across the region around $2000 each.

“We decided with what we had in mind we would apply for extra, so we put in for all of it, plus another

An Australia Day event would not be the same without some didgeridoo music. $10,000 for First Nations celebrations,” he said.

“That turned out to be $28,000 plus the $10,000. And we got what we applied for.

“That gave use a good pile of cash to work

with.”

He said club vice president Lee Taylor and Grafton Rotary new chum Tony Flack had also been instrumental in pulling the event together.

But Mr Blackadder said it was important to have First Nations groups taking the lead.

“If it it wasn’t for people like Avery Brown, Big Joe Williams and Poppy Joe Walker,

this would not have happened,” he said.

The funding, plus some slick organisation, turned Market Square into a hub of indigenous culture, music and story telling for the afternoon.

Held on the Market Square outdoor stage, under an enormous banner proclaiming “We’re all part of the story”, a wide range of entertainment promoted the message “respect and celebrate”.

Indigenous entertainer Dion Drummond, who shares Torres Strait island and Aboriginal ancestry, shared dance, stories and songs from both sides of his heritage.

Later musical entertainment ranged from indigenous duo Maanyung & Mundaway to the Ryan Martin Trio Mr Brown, who with Mr Williams, has created the local social media identity, the Hungry Blacks, said Poppy Harry’s Welcome to Country set the scene for the afternoon’s success.

“You must have an Elder to do the Welcome to Country,” he said. “Poppy Harry came down here (from

Tabulam) and what he said just captured everything today was about.”

He was also excited at the popularity of the Hungry Blacks bush tucker stall.

“I think we were the food,” he said.

The pair had prepared a feast of bush tucker delicacies, including a kangaroo they had skinned and prepared in traditional fashion.”

Volunteers from the Rotary, the local Scouts, the Army Cadets and indigenous community also ran stalls demonstrating First Nations cultural activities.

Mr Brown said the response to an indigenous themed Australia Day event gave grow into something much bigger.

“The weather was the only thing that didn’t work for us today,” he said. “The clouds might have kept a few people away, but the people who came along have really enjoyed it.”

“This is something that can grow into something much bigger.

Clarence Valley Council Mayor Ian Tiley also took part in the awards and the subsequent citizenship ceremony, during which seven people from around the world adopted Australia as their homeland.

Ms Linley was chosen for her tireless work for the protection of endangered coastal emus.

Because of the community action Clarence Valley Council endorsed the project and a new speed limit has been put in place through the

emu zone.

Barbara Linley’s tireless efforts to help protect the endangered coastal emu population at Brooms Head have led to her being named the 2022 Clarence Valley Citizen of the Year.

In addition to this, she has been an active fundraiser for charities such as Tour de Cure, Relay 4 Life and Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Local Hero The inspiration that came when she spotted a pile of hessian bags while she sipped on a morning tea at Botero in Maclean has lead to Myra James being named Clarence Valley Local Hero.

Noticing a pile of hessian bags that the coffee beans arrive in gave Ms James an instant idea. Being an expert patch worker, Myra thought her ‘stash’ of leftover materials from making beautiful quilts etc could be used for lining the bags and for making handles.

The bags sold so fast that she soon ran out of materials, and many friends and strangers, who had heard about and bought her beautiful bags came to the

fore by donating materials.

Her passion for making the bags started in 2017 and continues to date, with hundreds of bags being sold from Botero Cafe. So far, the sale of the bags has raised about $21,000, $20,000 of which has been donated back to the community.

Myra also supports the local op shops by buying suitable materials from them.

Community Achievement (Group) The Braunstone Ladies Fundraising Group has almost lost count of the charities is has raised money for over the years.

Activities like The Biggest Morning Tea and Relay for Life are just a sample of the groups they have turned their fund raising talents toward.

Braunstone Wigging Out has raised over $23,000 in six years supporting Grafton Oncology, the Grafton Wig Library with donated wigs/

caps, and Grafton Knitted Knockers who knit prosthesis for breast cancer survivors from donated cotton.

Food hampers, activities for children, jumping castle, smiley squad entertainment, plaster painting, craft activities have been donated to Wooli Camp Quality and funds supplied for the the Braunstone Community Hall, the 5 Mile Hotel, South Grafton Bowling Club.

The group also supports the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.

Young Citizen of the Year, Encouragement Award Summah Chellew is 12 years old and school captain of Tucabia Public School.

Impressively, Summah independently raised enough for the remote communities of Tucabia, Pillar Valley, Tyndale, Glenugie and Ulmarra throughout the Covid-19 lockdown.

Collectors “Ballina’s kerbside bin collectors do an amazing job” according to local resident June Zentveld, who has nominated Council’s waste truck drivers for an Environmental Award. But June’s not the only one who is singing their praise, in fact, Council receives numerous letters and emails of appreciation for our kerbside garbage collectors. A team of six drivers work hard every day to complete their bin collection routes standard. Council has a team of six full-time who work hard every day to complete their bin collection routes standard. Council’s waste truck drivers are: Kendell Brazendale, Jeff Nicholson, Ezio Polese, Richard Smith, Neil Spencer, Michael Wort, David Jupe, Ian Johnston and Paul O’Brian.

Drivers contend with numerous challenges every day, including narrow roads, cul-desacs and vehicles parked along the kerb which block access to bins.

There are six main bin collection routes across Ballina shire, with an additional three half-runs added recently due to population and service growth. The statistics are staggering: one truck empties up to 1,200 bins per day, and together waste trucks collect up to 4,000 bins a day, or over 1 million bins each year!

NEW CITIZENS As part of the ceremony 11 new Australian Citizens from Canada, Vietnam, Philippines, United Kingdom, India and South Africa were warmly welcomed. A full-recording of the livestreamed event can be viewed on Ballina Shire Council’s website ballina.nsw.gov.au/ AustraliaDay

A million-dollar reason to study regionally this year Southern Cross University has attracted nearly a million dollars in scholarship funding for students who commence their studies at the University’s Coffs Harbour or Lismore campuses this year.

Part of the Australian Government’s Destination Australia scheme, the scholarship provides selected fulltime students $15,000 per year to complete their degree, for a maximum of four years.

There are 10 scholarships on offer for domestic students and students who commence their studies in 2022.

Preference will be given to Bachelor of Engineering Systems (Honours) and Bachelor of Science students at Lismore campus and Bachelor of Speech Pathology, Bachelor of Occupational Therapy, Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Exercise

and Psychological Science students at Coffs Harbour campus, but all eligible students are encouraged to apply.

Vice President (Engagement) Mr Ben Roche said the scholarships were a fantastic incentive to study regionally.

“We’re lucky enough to be located in some of Australia’s most beautiful regions with beaches and World Heritage rainforests literally at our doorstep.

Immersing yourself in the lifestyle and studying here is really quite a privilege and

these scholarships can make it that much more affordable,” he said.

Mechanical engineering student Tae Heath, pictured, received a Destination Australia scholarship in 2021. He says it has given him greater capacity to focus on his studies and get

the grades he wants to achieve.

“The Destination Australia Scholarship has been extremely helpful for me. I’m receiving $15,000 a year for the duration of my course, which is four years. So that adds up to $60,000, which covers my rent,” he said.

“Just having to work that bit less takes a huge load off my shoulders in order to study quite an intense degree,” Tae said.

Born and raised in Mullumbimby in the Northern Rivers, when it came time to choose a University Tae was keen to stay local, with everything he was looking for right on his doorstep.

“Having friends and family close by is important, but also just being able to experience this beautiful community and area that we live in is really amazing for me,” he said.

“I’ve always wanted

to study engineering and Southern Cross had exactly the course I was looking for. I started the degree in March 2021 and I am loving it so far.”

With world-ranked education, research and state-of-the-art facilities, studying at Southern Cross University is an attractive option for from all that regional living provides.

Southern Cross graduates continue to rank in the top ten universities nationally for graduate salaries and employment rates (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2019-2021).

How to protect young platypus WIRES NORTHERN RIVERS This young platypus came into WIRES care after it was found walking along a country road.

The young platypus was examined, found to be a dispersing juvenile in good condition and it was released a short time later at dusk.

Platypus are secretive, elusive and shy creatures that are rarely seen as they spend most of their time either in the water foraging for food, or fast asleep deep in a burrow, under rock ledges, roots or debris.

For the next two to three months, juvenile platypus may be found in unusual places.

Sub-adults such as this little one may be found wandering along the road, or wander into urbanised areas when attempting to establish their own territory.

Currently in the Northern Rivers many creeks and rivers are above normal height due

to the continued rain, platypus may have been displaced by the current, or burrows may be

platypus in distress or in an unusual place please call WIRES on 1300

094 737 for advice.

Never place the bucket, bathtub or tank - it is an air-breathing mammal that routinely spends many hours each day snugly asleep in a dry environment.

How can you help?

Please don’t disturb platypus if they live in streams on your property or in your neighbourhood.

Plant or protect natural plants along

watercourses, doing this will protect banks and will provide areas for the platypus to live.

Don’t use yabby traps to catch yabbies in freshwater streams.

Platypus are often the victims found drowned

in these traps.

Clean up streams by removing broken bottles and rubbish.

Keep your dogs on a leash if walking them near platypus habitat, do not let them dig into the creek bank.

BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS

PRIME7, 7pm

Viewers can’t be blamed for suddenly wondering what day of the week it really is without their trusty Friday night viewing staple. Even when repeats are kindly screened to sate fans’ craving for Karen Martini recipes and Adam Doville’s DIY projects, it just isn’t the same. After more than 25 years of sharing inspirational lifestyle ideas and projects, the BH&G crew are experts at delivering fresh and fun, new ideas almost every week of the year. Tonight, host Johanna Griggs (above), Dr Harry Cooper and the trusty crew return with season 28 of this Aussie favourite. The great thing is we know just what to expect: house, garden, cooking and craft inspiration.

Who could forget the cult series Lost? As possibly one of the best TV series ever made, it’s only natural there will be other shows that copy its mysterious, sci-fi flavour.

Melbourne-made series La Brea, premiering tonight, leans heavily into the sci-fi, while also indulging in a wallop of disaster drama. When an enormous sinkhole opens up in Los Angeles, hundreds of people, including Eve Harris (Natalie Zea) and therapist Ty (Chiké Okonkwo, right), fall into an unexplainable primeval world. Expect a raft of predictable dialogue as the Harris family are separated and must find a way to be reunited. Fortuitously, Gavin Harris (Eoin Macken) discovers the apparitions that have haunted him for yonks might hold the key to bringing his family home.

MINISERIES: THE LONG CALL

SBS, 8.30pm

After last week’s first episode, the central characters have been introduced and we had an inkling of where this murder mystery might head. We’ve met detective Matthew (Ben Aldridge, above) and his husband and we’ve been transfixed by the breathtaking Devon scenery. As with any good whodunnit, it’s time for the piercing questions and burning suspicions to pile up, giving ample clues (and red herrings) to mull over. Matthew, Jen (Pearl Mackie, above) and the team hunt for clues about Simon Walden’s (Luke Ireland) murder, but soon enough they have another case on their hands. As they piece together the puzzle of Simon’s life and death, a tragic secret is uncovered.

52 MOTORING REVIEW

HYUNDAI CLAIMS A NEW FRONTIER FOR THE PEOPLE MOVER WITH ITS AWARD-WINNING STARIA DEREK OGDEN If there were such a thing as automotive astrologers Hyundai would have claim to their effectiveness following wins for its Staria people mover, along with stablemate IONIQ 5 electric SUV, in the 2021 Good Design Awards.

Winning features, the company claims, include a strikingly futuristic look to the Staria exterior, reminiscent of a spaceship, while a single line from front to back recreates the curve of light that illuminates the Earth’s horizon at sunrise when viewed from space.

You’ve got to hand it to those South Koreans.

A cruise ship-inspired interior focuses on driver convenience and passenger comfort, with traditional Korean ‘hanok’ architecture allowing occupants to feel as if the outside scenes are an extension of the vehicle interior.

Taking the place of the iMax in the Hyundai scheme of things, the Staria is engineered from the ground up on a dedicated platform shared with the Santa Fe. Setting the Staria apart from rival people movers is the option of Hyundai’s HTRAC all-wheel drive system at $20,000 below the people mover alternative.

This is available with a 430 Nm 2.2 CRDi turbodiesel engine.

Front-wheel drive is left to a 200kW 3.5-litre MPi petrol engine.

Both are mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Three spec levels are available – Staria, Elite and Highlander – starting at $48,500, plus on road costs, for Staria 3.5 petrol (automatic) FWD, rising to $66,500 for the Highlander 2.2 diesel AWD. On test was the Staria Highlander 3.5-litre petrol auto front-wheel drive, at $63,500. All models come with a kilometre warranty, complimentary roadside assist for 12 months, 1500 km complimentary customer care centre and an exclusive owner

website.

Owners servicing with Hyundai also receive a 10-year satellite navigation update plan, plus roadside support for up to ten years or more.

STYLING Looking to the future, Hyundai says, the front of the Staria focuses on a wide body-coloured low-set LED headlights, with a horizontal LED strip above comprising a centre lamp and daytime running lights.

Panoramic side windows and 18-inch alloy wheels in steel grey extend to a large rear area of glass with integrated Staria logo. Vertical LED combination lights on either side are topped off by a spoiler with a built in high-mounted stop light and wiper.

INTERIOR Lowered belt-lines and panoramic side windows improve all-round visibility and cre-ate a feeling of openness in the large cabin. The Highlander lets in even more light via a front and rear sunroof.

On the other hand, second and third row sunshades are on hand to block out unwant-ed glare and heat of the sun. Sliding second-row seats have long runners for easy ac-cess and a step and ‘walk-in’ device sliding function for the second row creates extra foot clearance for easy third row access.

ENGINES / TRANSMISSIONS Staria is offered with the choice and petrol and turbo-diesel engines, mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and front or all-wheel drive.

The 3.5-litre V6 produces 200 kW and 331 Nm and drives the front wheels, while the 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel dishes up 130 kW and 430 Nm through an all-wheel drive system.

SAFETY In addition to seven airbags – front, frontside, front-centre plus curtain bags on the Aand B-pillars – standard active safety across the range features include autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian/ cyclist detection and

junction assist, blindspot as-sist, lane-keep assist and lane following assist.

There’s also multicollision braking, driver inattention monitor, safe exit warning, rear surround view monitor.

The Elite adds safe exit assist and 3-D view surround-view camera.

The range-topping Highlander incorporates a blind spot view monitor, which projects a live feed of what’s in the blind spot to the instrument cluster.

There are IsoFix child seat anchors on the outboard second-row seats, plus top-tether anchors. There are no anchors in the third row.

DRIVING With such a difference in load characteristics over eight seats, fuel consumption could be expected to have ranged wildly around the maker’s claim of 10.5 litres per 100 kil-ometres on the combined urban / highway cycle. Our test vehicle used 12 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 5.4 litres per 100 kilometres on the motorway.

With all seats occupied, there is 831 litres of cargo space in the rear, while this can be

expanded to a massive 1303 litres with the second and third row folded. Access is via power side sliding doors or ‘smart’ power tailgate, the latter that closes automatically when the smart key is no longer detected.

A selection of drive modes – Normal, Eco, Sport and Smart – offers a range of power-train responses to suit driving conditions. Eco and Sport are at either end of the per-formance spectrum, with Normal the balance between the two.

Smart mode works

system to tailor Staria’s performance to their preferences. That’s clever.

The pandemic put paid to the usual input into the development of the Staria suspen-sion, as is the case with most new Hyundai vehicles.

Something must have rubbed off on Korean counterparts for the Staria ride and handling are up to class-leading standards.

Rocky escarpments, wild rivers, gorges and waterfalls…

The neighbouring regions of Kakadu and Arnhem Land in the Top End of the Northern Territory are among Australia’s ultimate wilderness frontiers. These places are as sacred as they are vast, and among the best ways to understand their environmental importance to Aboriginal Traditional Owners is on a guided tour with Lords Kakadu & Arnhemland Safaris. Three- to six-day excursions explore its most humbling landscapes, with a wealth of fascinating wildlife in your wake.

If you’re looking to enhance your political

banter, the More Than Politics Tour at Canberra’s Australian Parliament House provides plenty of inspiration. From your perspective behind the scenes, you’re treated to tales of Romaldo Giurgola’s architectural vision as he crafted the now legendary building.

The private experience ends with a silver-tiered high tea, paired with gin and tonic made using Parliamentary Librarian’s Gin (and you get to take the bottle home).

Luxury lodges, private island hideaways, outback city hotels are peppered throughout an indulgent Australian adventure with Southern Crossings. While

Antiques

the travel specialists offer a range of bespoke suggested itineraries, such as exclusive barrelroom tastings in South Australia’s Barossa Valley, the operator excels at crafting itineraries which will customise your interests into an unforgettable minute-byminute experience.

It’s a similar story when you travel with The Tailor, which takes you off the beaten track in style.

That’s serious style: think private aircrafts, luxury yachts, island buy-outs, jaw-dropping lodges and villas, all packaged with one-off Australiana experiences you probably never knew existed.

GAME-CHANGING AG-TECH SOLUTION FOR THE FUTURE OF FARMING RECEIVES GOVERNMENT SUPPORT Farmers and advisers will gain access to easy-to-use on-farm sensory information that will help them make the best agronomic decisions to gain as much productivity from their land while managing it sustainably for future generations thanks to a partnership project between Pairtree and Syngenta.

With the support of $170,000 funding from the Australian Government’s Entrepreneurs’ Programme, Pairtree and Syngenta will co-fund the completion of three commercial proof-of-concept trials to develop a data integration service. The service will provide growers and agronomists the connectivity and visibility on-farm needed to make smart decisions based on the most up-todate and relevant data.

Pairtree CEO, Mr Hamish Munro said, farmers that have ag-tech like weather stations

should have the ability to connect to leading edge tools for crop health, pests and diseases and the federal government funding will go a long way to providing an “Together with Syngenta Australia, our work will allow farmers with any brand ag-tech weather station to

eventually gain paddock level insights of crop productivity options”, said Mr Munro.

“This kind of ‘digital agnostic’ solution to a bigger picture problem is exactly what Pairtree is focused on providing and advisers alike.”

Syngenta’s Managing Director and Country

Head for ANZ, Paul Luxton said the on-farm insights delivered in a user-friendly way is game changing.

“This project will help farmers and agronomists deliver maximum productivity within the crops, by sustainably reducing weed, disease and pest pressures. It is the future of farming and

one of the ways that the agriculture industry will reach its target of being a $100 billion dollar industry by 2030.”

The partnership project with Pairtree is part of Syngenta’s strategy to support the industry’s digital future and add value to agriculture in Australia and New Zealand

(ANZ). Syngenta has been engaging with ag-tech startups and supporting local innovation to develop bespoke solutions for ANZ whilst leveraging Syngenta’s toolbox of global technology and knowledge.

“This partnership is a clear signal to the industry of Syngenta’s intent to support technology driven solutions on-farm that help growers deliver sustainable productivity”, said Paul Luxton.

“Syngenta is taking an industry leading role through our Good Growth Plan sustainability commitments to help the industry tackle environmental challenges with the increasing demand for nutritious food from a growing global population, and digital ag-solutions are a key part of the solution,” said Paul Luxton.

AUSVEG FEDERAL ELECTION PRIORITIES: BOOSTING CONSUMPTION, IMPROVING EFFICIENCY & INCREASING RESILIENCE Driving increased consumption of vegetables and potatoes, developing more effective businesses, and becoming a more resilient industry are the core priorities of AUSVEG’s 2022 Federal Election Priorities, released ahead of the upcoming Federal Election this year.

AUSVEG, Australia’s peak industry body for the vegetable and potato sectors, has published its priority list in the lead-up to the upcoming Federal Election, which highlights opportunities to com-bine the broader eating more vegetables and potatoes with the positive employment that growers generate for their regional communities.

AUSVEG’s 2022 Federal Election Priorities are grouped into nine critical areas that will help improve Australian public, as well fresh producers and their communities: increasing domestic consumption of Australian vegetables, workforce, regenerative farming, biosecurity, emergency preparedness and prevention, competition and business, international trade, infrastructure and the next generation.

AUSVEG CEO Michael Coote said that this list has been the result of extensive consultation from growers and industry associations from every major vegetable

production region.

“AUSVEG represents over 3,500 vegetable pro-ducers that account for 3.83 million tonnes of vegetable production worth $4.9 billion in farmgate value and over $5 billion in retail value annually – it is one of strongest performers of Australia’s agriculture industry,” said Mr Coote.

“The production and supply of fresh produce is a truly a national industry that employs over 60,000 workers, not to mention the tens of thousands of additional jobs through the supply chain to process, transport and stock produce.

“AUSVEG’s 2022 Federal Election priority list is endorsed by our state and territory grower

future success of our industry. This includes driving increased demand of Australian vegetables, secur-ing a productive workforce, protecting the future of vegetable production through biosecurity and sus-tainable growing practices, the industry through upgraded infrastructure and attracting the next generation of skilled people to the industry.

“Our Federal Election

asks include a range of is-sues that will help the industry recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as help place the industry in the best possible position for the next 5, 10 years and beyond.

“A key ask will be to secure funding for a national behavioural change campaign that will address the trend of declining vegetable consumption, with the average Australian eating around 13 kilograms fewer vegetables per year than 20 years ago – equating to around half a serve per day.

“According to the Fruit & Vegetable Consortium,

other illnesses, which will generate as much as $1 billion economic value after 11 years to Australian taxpayers and Govern-ments at all levels. Not only that, but every new job created in the Australian food industry supports an additional job in the regional economy.

ONGOING WORKFORCE SHORTAGES HOLD AUSTRALIA BACK

Farmers are continuing to deal with an avoidable loss of produce and farm income more than three months after the state’s peak agricultural body called for wide deployment of Rapid Antigen Testing to the regions.

In September last year NSW Farmers released a 10 Point Plan to tackle the agricultural skills shortage that threatened to derail harvest efforts, identifying RATs as an important way to keep the workforce moving in the face of repeated COVID outbreaks.

NSW Farmers President James Jackson said the higher infection rate of the Omicron strain had brought the fragility of the agricultural workforce into sharp focus.

“If we didn’t have one of the best growing seasons ever our farmers would be in a

very different position coming into 2022,” Mr Jackson said.

“Last year we lost fruit and vegetables because they weren’t picked in time and that problem is getting even worse for horticulture.

“For the croppers, there were harvesters sitting in sheds because there was no-one to drive them, and it was only the sheer scale of the overall harvest that kept the sector from falling down.”

Mr Jackson said there was one clear call coming out of COVID: we need more workers.

“We can’t keep waiting for governments to act – the disruptions of COVID are not going away any time soon, and we need real action on shoring up our agricultural workforce,” Mr Jackson said.

“It’s all well and good to talk about training workers, but what about

the next harvest and the one after that?

“There are gaps appearing all over the labour market because of Omicron and a lack of RATs to meet public health mandates, and the farmers that grow our food are competing with restaurants and tourism for foreign workers.

“We need to look at all options to encourage work participation, because there are likely people out there who would help if they were allowed to or disadvantaged by doing so.

“Long-term reform of the labour market is needed, but we cannot wait years while our crops rot because there aren’t enough workers

SHEARER SHORTAGE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AMBITIOUS SCHOOL LEAVERS

School leavers looking for a lucrative career in the bush have the chance to join an iconic industry and help Australia recover from COVID. NSW Farmers Wool Committee Chair Helen Carrigan said a shortage of shearers meant there was good money to be made by young people who were willing to learn.

“The ‘click’ of the shears is part of our proud agricultural history and there are so many success stories of young people keen to have a go,” Mrs Carrigan said.

“It can be hard work, but it’s rewarding and the pay can set the

savvy saver up for a great future.

“We’re keen to see school leavers looking for a life in the bush to seriously consider becoming a shearer.”

Australia has a long tradition of producing and a key part of that success has been the hard working shearers who are such a great part of our character. in Shearing course free for all NSW residents and a keen shortage of sheds, Mrs Carrigan said there was never a better time to get stuck in and start making some real money.

“We launched our

Wool Technical Advisory Group (WoolTAG) last year to tackle the issues in the industry head-on, and one of the big ones has been addressing our shearer shortage,” Mrs Carrigan said.

“If we can encourage young people to get into the sheds to be trained and mentored we can not only set them up for success but also help solve this worker shortage.

“NSW Farmers is keen to take a proactive approach to agricultural issues and this is a great career path for anyone who doesn’t want to spend their life in an tie.”

Australia’s private hospitals essential to manage elective surgery surge Australia’s private hospitals will be essential to addressing the backlog of necessary elective surgery when restrictions ease, new data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) reveals.

The new data shows the median wait time for elective surgery has increased by a week, from 41 days pre COVID (2018-19) to 48 days in 2020-21. This is largely because restrictions on elective surgery meant many cases were deferred.

While the rise in public hospital elective admissions from a COVID-induced low in 2019-20 is good news, additional widespread restrictions after the period covered by the report means waiting times for surgery will now be even longer.

“This data illustrates the essential role private hospitals will need to play in helping Australians get the vital surgery they need. Just as private hospitals have helped the public system with the pandemic response, they will be essential to clearing the surgical backlog post-pandemic.

“Without private hospitals picking up the slack, Australians will be waiting a great deal longer to have their surgery – often important for quality of life, like cataract surgery to correct impaired vision or joint replacements to remove pain and improve mobility.” elective surgery should not last one day longer than they need to.

“With signs the Omicron wave is plateauing in several states, health departments need to consult with private hospitals about easing restrictions in a safe way, so hospitals are ready to increase surgical capacity to provide much-needed treatment to those Australians who have had surgery deferred.

12$3%0"%32*%!"#$"%4'"()*5 The biggest factor in back and hip pain is frequently the psoas muscle.

Many believe the psoas muscle is one of the most important muscles in the body. The number of problems caused by the psoas is quite astonishing.

These include: low back pain, sacroiliac pain, sciatica, disc problems, scoliosis, hip degeneration, knee pain, menstruation pain, infertility, and digestive problems. The list can also include biomechanical problems like pelvic tilt and leg length discrepancies.

The psoas primarily flexes the hip and the spinal column.

At about 16 inches long on the average, it is one of the largest and thickest muscles of the body.

12$3%0"%32*%6'+(30#+%#6%32*%/"#$"5 The psoas has a number of diverse functions, making it a key factor in health. The psoas functions as a hip and thigh flexor, which makes it the major walking muscle. If the legs are stationary the action of it is to bend the spine forward; if sitting, it stabilizes and balances the trunk. The lower psoas brings the lumbar vertebrae forward and downward to create pelvic tilt.

12$3%$7*%32*%(#&&#+%/$0+%"8&/3#&"%#6%32*%/"#$"5 When the muscle becomes contracted due to injuries, poor posture, prolonged sitting, or stress, it can alter the biomechanics of the pelvis and the lumbar, thoracic and even cervical vertebrae.

Typically a dysfunctional psoas is responsible for referred pain down the front of the thigh and vertically along the lower to mid spinal column.

Trigger points are found above the path of the psoas on the abdomen.

The psoas can torque your spine to the right or left, pull it forward and twist the pelvis into various distortions. Frequently one psoas will shorten and pull the spine and/or pelvis to our dominant side.

This all results in scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, trigger points, and spasms in back muscles trying to resist the pulling of the psoas.

It can also pull the spine downward, compressing the facet joints and the intervertebral discs of the lumbar spine. The pressure can cause the discs to degenerate, becoming thinner and less flexible. This degeneration makes the discs more susceptible to bulging or tearing, especially with twisting and bending movements.

12$3%.**/"%32*%/"#$"%0+%(#+37$(30#+5 The psoas will stay contracted because of postural habits and trauma. The way we stand, walk and sit can distort the psoas. If we walk or stand with our chin in an overly forward position the muscle will tighten.

Sitting through much of the day causes the muscle to shorten to keep us bio-mechanically balanced in our chairs. Over time we develop a “normal” way of holding the psoas that is dysfunctional.

Unresolved trauma can keep the psoas short and reactive. Until the psoas is released the muscle may stay contracted and go into further shortening and spasm very easily.

I can help with leg length difference, and help to release the spasm or misalignment in those muscles. In most cases if you have three Bowen sessions your body can reprogram itself into being in a more aligned and erect position.

Your muscles have a memory which can be reset through a whole body treatment, not just treating the psoas itself.

He urged governments not to downgrade the reliance on PCR testing, which he says provides important insight into the evolving nature of the pandemic within Australia.

“PCR testing also gives us the ability to do sequencing and to get an idea of how much Omicron there is, and when a new variant comes in,” Associate Professor Anderson said.

“If we were doing primarily RAT testing last November, December, we wouldn’t have known that Omicron was in the country and sadly, we knew Omicron was here and the policymakers pretended that it was not going to be a problem, so we’ve ended up in a mess anyway.

“But when the next variant comes, as it inevitably will, if we aren’t doing PCR, we won’t know.

“We need to continue to support doing large volumes of PCR testing and encourage people to take advantage of that.” – Associate Professor David Anderson.

He said despite the importance of PCR testing, the Omicron variant and subsequent surge in case numbers meant Australians needed far greater access to RATs so testing could be carried out at home.

“We know that PCR testing served us very well up until late last year, because there was enough capacity to test everyone who wanted a test and typically waiting times were not very long,” Associate Professor Anderson said.

“Most jurisdictions were getting test results back in a reasonable period of time, but now with the PCR system overwhelmed, we don’t have access to RAT tests – and even worse – sick people are travelling any worse a situation.”

“The idea that people need to search for tests is completely wrong. We’re a wealthy country and we can afford to provide RATs to people.” – Associate Professor David Anderson.

Professor Anderson also said the mounting death toll over Summer showed the perils of waning vigilance among politicians.

“I wish I could say I was shocked, but I’m not shocked,” Associate Professor Anderson said.

“Certainly, disbelief that we could throw away the hard work of two years and the hard work, not just of people who’ve been prepared to isolate when required and lockdowns etc, but especially of healthcare workers, who have been picking up after everyone for all this time.

“And that, against most expert advice, that we would let it rip over Christmas and New Year when we knew people would socialise, when this was inevitable.

“There was never good evidence that the (Omicron variant) would be so mild, that letting it spread in the community would be a good thing. Certainly, it’s a little bit milder than Delta, but what we knew for certain from the data from South Africa was that it would spread quickly.

“And this was an inevitable consequence of taking off all controls in some states.

“We’ve probably seen a peak in cases, how quickly it will come down remains to be seen. But we’re not near the peak for deaths yet, I’m afraid.”

Life Care

Unfinished business

Everyone has a story. Our personal reality is based on our beliefs, our background and what motivates us. Up until this point in time, we have spent our whole lives crafting this story. And along the way, we tend to accumulate some baggage Amongst the triumphs and conquests are the heartaches and headaches which, unless resolved may result in ‘unfinished business’. If hurt by someone we trust or remorseful over an incident, try as we must to leave it in the past, our environment has an uncanny knack of providing reminders.

For just one moment, close your eyes and imagine yourself in the last stage of your life, just days away from dying. See yourself in a setting that will bring you the most peace and contentment.

For me, I am in my home, my loved ones are present; relaxed and chatting. My dog lays quietly at my bedside, soft music is playing.

My End of Life Doula is in attendance, the window open, I sense a pleasant breeze on my skin and my mind is at peace My number one wish is to have all of my issues resolved before I am in my last days. This has seen me humbly approach others to say I am sorry. Some may think this is digging up the past.

But it has all been worth it, because the people I spoke with knew exactly what I was talking about and I am now free from that emotional burden and it feels great. The hardest part was carrying it around all those years!

Resolving our issues years down the track can be met with obstacles. Others may have moved on, or passed away. Some pain may seem impossible to remedy. An effective way can be to write a letter, with an open heart. Confessions are often heard at the bedside of the dying. End of Life Doulas are neutral people, who are here to support you and explore creative methods to help heal old wounds and we are great listeners!

Businesses encouraged to sign up for new voucher programs Eligible accommodation providers across the State can now register to take part in two of the NSW Government’s new voucher programs – Parents NSW and Stay NSW. Both programs will be implemented using the existing Dine & Discover NSW infrastructure.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said families will be able to access the Parents NSW vouchers and Stay NSW vouchers from February.

“This stimulus is just what families and businesses need with school holidays concluding. Parents across all communities have made huge sacrifices during the pandemic and we want to say thank you to all of them,” Mr Perrottet said.

“Eligible customers will soon be able to redeem their $250 worth of Parents NSW vouchers and $50 Stay NSW voucher with registered Stay NSW businesses, which is a huge win for the accommodation and tourism sectors which have been especially hard hit by the pandemic.

“The voucher programs will have a multiplier effect on the economy – and this will encourage families to spend a night or a weekend exploring Sydney or a regional town, while also spending on sightseeing and other activities.”

Treasurer Matt Kean said the vouchers form part of the NSW Government’s $2.8 billion Covid-19 Economic Recovery Strategy announced in October and come on the back of the more the $1billion Covid business support package announced this week.

“These vouchers are a

win-win for industry and families and encourage more families to explore our incredible State and bolster local economies,” Mr Kean said.

“We’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with industry throughout the pandemic and this is another program that will help keep businesses open and keep workers in

jobs.”

Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Victor Dominello said with millions of vouchers to be issued to NSW residents soon, businesses should get ready to boost their income by registering for both programs.

“To take part in the two

programs, businesses only have to register once through Service NSW. Once approved, all accommodation providers need to do is simply download the Service NSW for Business app and start scanning vouchers,” Mr Dominello said.

“Whether you’re a hotel in Sydney, motel

in rural NSW or a holiday park on a coastal town, we want you to take advantage of this stimulus and see more customers come through your doors.”

Businesses will be paid within ten days after redeeming a voucher.

Customers can pool multiple Stay NSW vouchers with friends or family for the same booking at registered accommodation providers, big or small.

Parents NSW vouchers can be combined and used to redeem $250 off your accommodation account.

Bookings made through third party providers such as online booking platforms and travel agents are not included in the program.

Participating businesses will be able to redeem vouchers seven days a week, including public holidays. Customers will be able to search for participating accommodation providers on the easy-touse hotel finder.

Discover NSW registered businesses do not have to re-register to accept Parents NSW vouchers, but can still register if they have yet to do so.

For more information on how to register a business, visit www. service.nsw.gov.au/ transaction/registerbusiness-stay-nswvouchers.

Jobs program reaps rewards A program helping veterans secure jobs in the NSW public sector has exceeded its employment target, and is 12 months ahead of schedule.

Minister for Veterans David Elliott said over 1,200 veterans have transitioned into civilian roles since 2018, thanks to the success of the Veterans Employment Program.

“When this terrific program was extended

in 2018, a target was set to help 1,000 veterans secure public sector jobs in NSW by 2023,” Mr Elliott said.

“I’m delighted that we continue to exceed the original employment target and provide job opportunities for exservice men and women that are looking for a new career path.

“This program is instrumental in helping our veterans enjoy a smoother transition

from military service to civilian life, and means we retain the skills, knowledge and experience of our outstanding former service personnel.”

Developed by the NSW Office for Veterans Affairs, the program assists managers and veterans in understanding how defence force skills and experience align with roles within the NSW Government.

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

Invasion of the holiday snatchers

There’s been much debate about the date of Australia Day. Actually, it’s so much been debate as zombie Liberal and Country Party voters emerging from their cryogenic capsules and the 1950s, stridently declaring “they didn’t do anything wrong so why change the date”.

Political correctness gone mad, they say, like giving women the vote and equal pay and not allowing kids to drive forklifts. Fair enough, what ten-year-old kid doesn’t want to drive a forklift?

Imagine the stuff you could pick up around the house, Mum! Meanwhile others have distorted reality by claiming that something else happened on 26th January in such and such a year and that is what the date truly signifies, except that rhetoric diminishes the argument of the right-wing nut jobs, as above, who would then be forced to admit that the 26th was in fact quite bad in some way.

Anyway, numerous suggestions have been rejected by white men (remember few women sit in the Right-Wing Nut Job party room), such as moving it to June 3rd, the date back in 1993 when Eddie Mabo, alas posthumously, succeeded in using white man’s law to have those same white men accept that there were people here before Captain Cook, apart from Dirk Hartog.

But that would bump the Queen off her birthday long weekend, even though it’s not her birthday, and rob hard working bludgers a long weekend in January. However surely even low-functioning rightwing nut-jobs could find an alternative excuse for a weekend less than four weeks after the previous one.

Mate, we’re all hanging out for another one by January 26th, and plenty of things have happened on that date since Governor Phil arrived in 1788.

How about John Logie Baird’s first public demonstration of television in 1926? Uber cool. In the true white-man tradition, it could be sponsored, instead of by the Lamb Corporation, say the pay TV industry and call it National Netflix Day for instance.

Perfect given that’s what half the nation do on that day, and the 100th anniversary is just four years away, absolute gold…Logie!

But there’s a better solution, which also solves the curly issue of a pesky public holiday on a Wednesday where you have to pay ten-year-old’s time and half.

Just make it the last Friday in January unless that day falls on the 26th(remember that’s bad) when it could be bumped to the last Monday.

Solved. Surely that’s worth a case? Perhaps one of these: Max Crus is a Clarence Valley-based wine writer and Grape Expectations is now in its 26th year of publication. Find out more about Max or sign up for his weekly reviews and musings by visiting maxcrus. com.au

(Below, right) Tamar Ridge Tasmania Single Block (Vineyard Kayena - Block K25) Pinot Noir 2020

Tamar Ridge Tasmania Single Block (Vineyard Kayena - Block K25) Pinot Noir 2020, $100.

You reckon winemakers and marketers are getting very specific with their labelling? This one also lists altitude and climatology! You get a diploma in oenology with each glass, which itself passes with flying colours. Very learned and sophisticated. 9.5/10.

Tamar Ridge Tasmania Research Series Pinot Noir 2020, $50.

If the Kayena is obsessive, Tamar’s ‘Research Series’ is next level.

All the above plus clonal ferments (in detail), average rainfall, and maturation info for good measure. You’ll have a PhD after downing this one, which I reckon has the edge over its exxy sister. Distinction stuff.

9.6/10.

Oakdene Bellarine Peninsula Geelong Sparkling Brut NV, $23.

The slight blush of the wine matched that of Ms L’s cheeks after her third (and final) glass, and the colour under her collar that it was finished. Lovely stuff for Invasion Day pool parties. 9.4/10.

Oakdene Bellarine Peninsula Geelong Field Blend (Shiraz/Pinot Noir) 2021, $24.

Every man and his dog has a field blend now, although a dog’s field blend admittedly may be somewhat different. At 12.8 percent this is nevertheless gutsy enough stuff to go with your Invasion Day lamb at your Triple J hottest 100 lunch. 9.1/10.

Mount Eyre Three Ponds Hunter Valley Semillon 2021, $??

Like the joys of cooler reds in summer, it is easy to forget just how much more flavoursome whites can be at room temperature in winter and spring…depending on where you live of course. 9.4/10.

Mount Eyre Three Ponds Hunter Valley ‘Neptune’ 2021, $33.

You wouldn’t drink this at the bottom of the ocean, but maybe sitting on the bottom at the shallow end of the pool listening to JJJ on Invasion Day? Please Sir, I want some more. 9.1/10.

Baked Banana Chips

Directions

Step 1 Preheat oven to 110 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2 Spread banana slices out onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure slices are not touching.

Brush slices with lemon juice.

Step 3 Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.

Check bananas, lifting slices up to separate from the paper once or twice. Continue baking until bananas are dried out, 30 to 90 minutes more.

Step 4 Let bananas cool until crispy, at least 5 minutes.

Cook’s notes If your bananas are too ripe, they’ll be more difficult to slice. Slice into 1/4-centimeter slices. If bananas don’t start to go crispy after 5 minutes of cooling time, pop them back in for another 15 minutes.

It is a charity event in aid of the Ballina Hospital Auxiliary and we are catering for the show. Last year was very successful and we are all looking forward to this year. We are purchasing a new Cardiac Telemonitoring system which will be an asset to the hospital and to any patients requiring cardiac monitoring. We actually purchased the original system some 16 years ago so this new addition will be really up to date. The cost will be $106,000 which we have already raised, so we are now hoping that 2022 will be a good year for our future fund raising to enable us to save for the hospital’s future wish lists.

TUCABIA HEADS TABLE AFTER THUMPING WIN

Brothers opener Beau Sevil pays the price for shouldering arms to a straight ball from Rohan Hackett.

Tucabia skipper Brad Chard has lost the beard, but none of his pace and skill. His dismissal of opposite captain Jake Kroehnert was a key moment in Saturday’s game.

Souths chased down Easts’ competitive 6-148 with two overs to spare on the back of scores of 32 each from skipper Dylan Cleaver and hard-hitting all rounder Adrian Boyd.

But the game was still

Tucabia Copmanhurst’s thumping of Brothers at Ellem Oval on Saturday has catapulted it to Premier League cricket competition.

In a rematch of the Tucabia routed Brothers for 96 chasing its 9-174 with left-arm speedster Rohan Hackett capturing four wickets.

In an innings notable for solid contributions right down the order, Tucabia opener Andrew Ellis top scored off the bat with 33, two runs less than the 35 extras at the bottom of

Youngster Keaton Stutt, 20, batting at six and Matt Dougherty at seven, scoring 19, kept the momentum going after Brothers had them 5-98.

Brothers’ run chase faltered at the outset with both openers dismissed overs. go, bizarrely shouldering arms to a straight ball from Hackett that snapped back his off stump.

Hackett trapped Kallen Lawrence in front in the next over, but it was the captain on captain confrontation between

Brad Chard and Jake Kroehnert that would proved decisive.

Kroehnert, on 6, was bowled by Chard with the score at 3-25 and when Sean Walters, Jack Weatherstone and Jamie Firth went for just six more runs, the game was effectively over.

Veteran off-spinner Matt Pigg picked up three middle order wickets and Dan Cootes got two to help clean up the tail.

At McKitrrick Park South Services made it two wins in two completed games with a three-wicket win against Easts/Westawn at McKittrick Park.

Up stepped Josh Amos, who scored 14 of those runs, including 11 in the team home.

Easts/Westlawn looked liked setting a more formidable total on the

back of a half century from opening Shannon Connor.

Conner hit 58 and combined with Chris Chamberlain for 65-run opening stand.

The wheels came off as the next three wickets fell for nine runs.

Aaron MacFadyen, 28no, dropped anchor with Connor, getting the score to 100 before left-arm fast bowler Connor. from seven overs and Chris Cleaver 2-21 from eight to head the Souths bowling effort.

Tucabia is on top of the ladder on percentages ahead of South Services.

Both teams are on 7points with Easts chasing on 24.
