Twins die after house fire TWIN girls have died after a fire inside a house at Goonengarry on Sunday morning.

Emergency services were called to the single-storey property on Mafeking Road shortly after 4am, responding to reports two children were suffering from smoke inhalation.

Officers from Tweed/Byron Police District and NSW Ambulance paramedics performed CPR on both children; however, the fouryear-old girls were unable to be revived.

A woman was also being treated for shock.

The building is part of a multipleoccupancy community, about 30km west of Byron Bay. Detectives from Tweed/Byron PD are working with fire investigators to determine the cause of the blaze, but initial reports indicate a candle on top of a piano in a bedroom may have been left burning inside the home.

It was reported the girls were visiting their father in a “joint custody” situation.

Reports suggest the father was at a social gathering at a nearby property when the incident happened.

A sea of white, as thousands protest against Covid-19 vaccination and workplace mandates; protesters walked the borderline on Sunday; pro-choice protesters state their views in Tweed Heads and Byron Bay; and NSWTF president Angelo Gavrielatos and teachers from Banora Point High School.

Tense times in the Tweed

By Margaret Dekker TWO rallies in as many days have been staged in the Tweed at the start of the week.

Reclaim the Line On Sunday, several thousand people rallied along the Tweed HeadsCoolangatta borderline to ‘Reclaim the Line’ against Federal and State governments’ mandatory vaccination orders and targets before reopening the border.

Ex-QANTAS pilot,

Graham Hood, who quit a 30-year career in protest over the vaccination mandate in aviation, returned to the stage from a previous protest to again address a cheering crowd.

“When I stood on this stage a few weeks ago I was fighting for the spirit of Australia and as I look around now, I see that,” Graham Hood said.

Many of the approximately four thousand protesters who walked the length of Boundary Street were without masks, and social distancing rules weren’t

observed.

No police arrests were made during the ‘peaceful protest.’

In Byron Bay, a smaller gathering also marked a weekend of Pro-choice rallies across the nation.

Teachers Federation On Monday, the first of a series of rolling rallies across the Northern Rivers region this week was staged in much small numbers outside Banora Point High School.

Senior officers from the NSW Teachers Federation briefed teachers on the

Union’s campaign to address what it says is ‘a worsening shortage of teachers, and the impact this is having on public schools’ amid claims of government inaction.

The NSW Teachers Federation says new government figures released to Parliament show 67 per cent of schools in the Richmond Tweed region had vacant permanent teaching positions – totalling 113 vacancies - in October.

Addressing the rallies, NSWTF President Angelo Gavrielatos warns that

without action, teacher shortages will continue to grow due to rising enrolments, a 30 per cent decline in people studying teaching, a rapidly ageing workforce and unsustainable workloads.

“If the NSW Government doesn’t act now, the teacher shortages will only get worse and it’s country kids who will pay the price,” Mr Gavrielatos said.

Similar rallies were staged in Grafton on Tuesday and in Coffs Harbour on Wednesday.

Police investigate following fatal crash near Lismore A MAN has died after being hit by a car near Lismore on Monday morning.

Just after 5am, emergency services were called to the

Bruxner Highway, near Richmond Hill Road at Goonellabah, following reports a pedestrian had been hit by a car.

Despite the efforts of NSW Ambulance

paramedics, the 20-yearold man died at the scene.

The male driver of the vehicle was taken to hospital for mandatory testing.

Officers from Richmond Police District attended and established a crime scene.

An investigation is underway into the circumstances

surrounding the crash and police are urging anyone with information, or dashcam vision, to come forward.

A report will now be prepared for the

information of the Coroner.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000.

Woman dies after crash

AROUND 30 people gathered on Sunday at the Lismore Museum to wish their city a Happy 75th Birthday.

On August 30, 1946 the status of Lismore changed from a municipality to a city and 12 years later Lismore City Hall was built where it stands today on Ballina Road.

The building of the museum itself was once the municipal headquarters of the town and later city, ceasing operation as such in 1991, when the council chambers moved to its present location in Goonellabah.

Local historian Dr Maxine Darnell was on hand as guest speaker to talk about “The Town Hall that never was”.

It was an insight into the quirkier side of Lismore’s development starting from 1879 when Lismore first became a municipality, taking in Lismore, both north and south as well as

A WOMAN has died following a serious crash at Ballina last Monday.

About 3pm on Monday, November 1, emergency services were called to Moon Street, Ballina, following reports of a crash.

Police were told an 82-year-old woman was getting into the passenger side of a parked Hyundai Getz when the car reversed and mounted a curb.

The woman was thrown to the ground and suffered serious head injuries. \She was treated on scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Lismore Base Hospital, where she later died.

The driver – an 88-year-old woman – was uninjured and taken to hospital for mandatory testing.

Blakebrook, roughly an area of 7500 ha.

From there it was decided that a council chambers and town hall needed to be built in keeping with the principle of ‘agora’ – a place of assembly for people.

Dr Darnell outlined the process and often frustrating attempts to building a town hall

that never came to be while Lismore remained a municipality, despite many competitions, applications and grand designs that went by the wayside.

The afternoon was attended by Mayor Vanessa Ekins and former mayors Jenny Dowell and Ros Irwin who all helped to cut the ganache-

covered chocolate birthday cake for the city.

Cr Ekins wore the formal mayoral robes and chains of office, sharing some of their history.

“The links in the chain have all the names of the mayors since Stokes in 1879,” she said.

“The robes have been embroidered showing

the rivers of the Northern Rivers on them.”

Cr Ekins said the celebrations were an important event for the history of Lismore.

“I enjoy the ceremonies and interacting with the community,” she said. “ We all love this place and went the best for it.”

SHARE THE DIGNITY Share the Dignity is calling on New South Wales residents to support women and girls in need this Christmas through their annual #ItsInTheBag Christmas appeal, encouraging people to donate a filled bag and drop off at their local Bunnings store between Friday 19 November and Sunday 28 November 2021.

The initiative, which is now in its seventh year, aims to ensure that every woman and girl in need receives a Christmas gift, a gift of the basic essentials – including pads and/or tampons, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner and soap – as well as little luxuries such as hair accessories or a handwritten note.

With COVID-19 pushing more women and girls below the poverty line, and at greater risk of

homelessness and domestic violence, #ItsInTheBag donations are in high demand, due to the persistent COVID-19 lockdowns and financial stress impacting many Australians, Share the Dignity Founder and Managing Director, Rochelle Courtenay, said the charity was preparing for another donation

deficit in 2021.

“We saw the impact of COVID-19 on our collection last year – nationally, we received 50,000 fewer bags in 2020, compared to 2019.

This just shows the strain on those who might not be able to donate at this time, but the need is still there – in fact, we are seeing more vulnerable women and girls looking for support than ever before,” Ms. Courtenay said.

Share the Dignity New South Wales

Team Leader, Leanne Pitt-Barile added “We are expecting requests for bags this year to hit 35,000 and I know meeting those requests will be a challenge this year”.

“For many, this is the only gift they will receive this Christmas, so I encourage everyone to give in whatever way they can – that might be putting together a bag, sponsoring a bag online, or even donating the essential items, every little bit helps,” Ms. PittBarile said.

Gabi Alosi received an #ItsInTheBag donation when she found herself homeless at the age of 22 and knows first-hand how a simple gift can provide hope and dignity.

“I experienced homelessness through my mental health. I had a suicide attempt and wasn’t allowed to come back to my residence.

So, I ended up in a youth homeless shelter.

I wouldn’t wish that on anybody else,” Gabi said.

“The bag made me feel incredibly loved and cared for, and that was something I hadn’t experienced in a long

We know the need for support in the community is bigger than ever before and we are proud to play a small part in helping Share the Dignity to continue the great work they do,” continued Ryan.

“Our team love this campaign, with the decoration of the collection boxes hitting new creative heights each year. If they are able to, we encourage

our team and customers to donate and drop a bag in the collection box at their local Bunnings to help make a difference to women and girls in need,” said Ryan.

Flash flood threatens former guide hall RESIDENTS of Kelly St in South Grafton held fears for the former Girl Guides hall when storms lashed the region on Sunday afternoon and night.

Images posted on

social media during the first downpour late on Sunday afternoon show water rapidly rising around the building which has more recently become a children’s playgroup venue.

A resident, Brian Pullen, said on social media it appeared a drain had become partially blocked and the water rose quickly around the building.

He said in addition to

the driving rain, there had been strong winds, but he said there was no damage near his home.

NEW $185,000 STORM VEHICLE FOR SES THIS area has flooded before. It will happen again.

That is the message for communities across Northern NSW from NSW State Emergency Service (SES) as the Northern Rivers Flood Awareness Campaign launched last week.

Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott and Ben Franklin MLC joined SES Commissioner Carlene York to launch the new flood awareness campaign and commission a new light storm vehicle at the Lismore SES Unit.

Mr Elliott said the public awareness campaign was being promoted via media, social media and local networks in notoriously flood prone regions across NSW that had experienced such disasters, and would again.

“It was less than a year ago that I was here with the Prime Minister and Commissioner York at

Goonellabah to see the incredible work the SES and supporting agencies did in response to severe flooding in the area,” he said.

“I am also very pleased to handover a new $185,000 light storm vehicle to the Lismore SES Unit today, which is part of the $116 million Fleet Replacement Program, funded by the

NSW Government over 10 years.”

Commissioner York said the SES was gearing up for a wetter than average summer, and these vehicles would be an invaluable resource for our volunteers when future storms strike.

“It is timely this week as the weather makes a turn for the worse, that the public awareness

campaign messaging is heard across communities who are at great risk of flooding – they need to know their risk and get prepared,” she said.

“It is crucial that our volunteers are equipped with the best equipment to respond when their communities require emergency assistance.”

Local Nationals

Member of the Legislative Council Ben Franklin said the new vehicle would significantly support the Lismore SES to respond to emergencies and disaster.

“We know the SES are usually one of the first on the scene in an emergency and with extreme flood and fire events in recent years,

we are all aware just how vital a role they play in keeping us safe,” Mr Franklin said.

“Last year, the Lismore SES responded to 457 incidents alone and this new equipment will go a long way to ensuring our first responders have what they need to protect the community and save lives.”

Mayoral candidates call for removal of illegal election signs LISMORE Mayoral candidates Elly Bird from Our Sustainable Future, Darlene Cook from Labor and Vanessa Ekins from the Greens have united to publicly call for the immediate removal of prominent signage that has been illegally installed by another candidate’s team.

“Two weeks ago, council notified all candidates of the requirements around election signage,” Cr Bird said.

“All candidates were clearly told that legislation around election signage

stipulates that signage is not allowed to be larger than 0.8m2 and that it cannot be displayed earlier than five weeks out from the election.

Candidates were requested to immediately comply by removing illegal signage.

“Our Sustainable Future and Labor had put up signage on bus shelters that we thought was compliant, and some excited Greens supporters had put up one or two signs but as soon as we were notified it was quickly removed.

“Steve Krieg’s team were notified at exactly

the same time as us but their signage is still there, and not only is it still in place but they have put up more that is clearly not compliant.”

“They put up oversized signs all over the community two full weeks earlier than is legally allowed and didn’t take any of them down when they were requested to do so. They are still up, and they shouldn’t be.”

Cr Cook added: “Not only is this very poor behaviour in response to Council directives, it is sending a clear message to the community

that this group does not believe rules and regulations should apply to them.”

“On Friday afternoon there was finally a laughable attempt made to comply with the placement of thin masking tape gridlines being stuck across one side of one of the non compliant signs. Within minutes it was falling off.

“This is clearly an attempt to bend the rules so they can retain their illegal signage.”

Mayor Vanessa Ekins said: “If this is their response when they are

asked to comply with regulations that were clearly outlined to all prospective candidates it doesn’t bode well if they are elected to council.”

“Steve Krieg should immediately remove his non-compliant signage, and if he doesn’t then it’s clear that he and his team think that they are a law unto themselves and we should all be very concerned about their ability to stick to the rules if they are elected to council.”

The game officially begins after (yet another) delay

By Margaret Dekker FOURTEEN months of waiting for Local Government elections to run wasn’t quite long enough last Thursday, with candidates left waiting yet again – in the Tweed, until midafternoon – for the official draw of their critical positions on the ballot paper to begin.

A technical glitch at the NSW Electoral Commission’s end was sorted by late morning at Byron’s Returning Office in Mullumbimby where the manual drawing of names took place from a sealed and tumbled blue box, complete with a flourish of the hand by Returning Officer, Ian Smith.

“Williams, Keith, Labor,” Ian Smith announced to a small gathering as the first candidate picked, therefore receiving the prized top billing - oft said to be worth up to 20 percent of the vote in the Ballina Mayoral ballot paper, from a total of five candidates.

In Byron, a record nine candidates will hotly contest Byron’s Mayorship with conservative Alan Hunter (Ind) randomly selected to head that

distancing and queue management, mask wearing, single-use pens and QR code signins must be observed.

Voters don’t need to be double-vaccinated however all Electoral Commission staff must. Staff will also be required to wear myriad Personal Protective Equipment including the possibility of face shields for those working in high volume areas.

Among those jobs, double-entries into the database of every single vote.

“And we enter it twice to ensure the integrity of the data entry and once all the votes have been entered into the computer system, we will run the preference distribution automatically and that’ll occur on around about the 20th of December, we won’t know the result of any election until that time,” Mr Smith said.

Be enrolled to vote A reminder, particularly to new residents of the Northern Rivers, a person must be enrolled to vote in their electorate prior to December 4 – now just three and a half weeks away.

“There are penalties for not voting but you have to be on the roll to vote.

It’s compulsory to vote,” Mr Smith said.

It was the view of Linda Scott, Local Government NSW President, that elections needed to be held this year to uphold democracy and ensure renewal.

Bungabbee Bridge upgrade completed WORK to replace the single-lane timber Bungabbee Bridge at Bentley is now complete, delivering safer and more reliable journeys for locals, farmers and truck drivers.

Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan said the new concrete singlelane bridge will remove the existing load limits, allowing heavy vehicles to cross Back Creek and restoring a vital access route for the community.

“The load limit has been detrimental to the families along this road as they have had no

heavy vehicle access,” Mr Hogan said.

“I secured $300,000 to put towards this project, and the completion is terrific news for the community.”

“This project has helped support 20 jobs over the nine months while work was carried out, including five fulltime positions.”

New South Wales Member of the Legislative Council Ben Franklin said the NSW Government contributed $300,000 to the Bungabbee Bridge project as part

of the $500 million Fixing Country Bridges program, which is replacing 96 ageing timber bridges in the Lismore electorate to better connect the region, with one of these already opened to traffic and construction underway on three more new bridges.

“Replacing crossings means improved community connections to schools, towns, hospitals, and jobs, as well as better access for emergency service vehicles, easier movement of freight

and safer journeys,” Mr Franklin said.

“Farmers in this region have recently had to diversify to survive drought, increasing the need for heavy vehicle use, so we’re pleased to have helped deliver a safer and more reliable structure that will last for many years.

“These are bridges delivered by councils that we have fast-tracked into construction to help councils create and support jobs in their areas, drive productivity and keep our regional communities connected.”

Lismore City Mayor Vanessa Ekins said the new bridge will help connect the community and would greatly benefit farmers who need to get their produce to market.

“It’s good to see the new bridge complete.

It is one of ten aging bridges that we are now replacing across the Lismore Local Government Area thanks to Government grants,” Cr Ekins said.

“Even though I am sad to see the old timber bridges go, as they have so much history and character, these

bridges are important access routes for local farming families and link our villages to allow residents to easily and safely travel to their jobs, schools and hospitals.”

10 NEWS NEW $470,000 FIREFIGHTING TRUCK DELIVERED TOGRAFTON FIRE STATION

Grafton Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) station is now better equipped to respond to emergencies with the arrival of a brand new $470,000 fire truck.

The truck has a pump that supplies up to 3,000 litres of water a minute for firefighting operations and a Compressed Air Foam (CAFs) system to fight chemical, petrol and bush fires. It is also fitted with a GPS navigation unit and an electronic message board on the back to warn motorists of emergency operations.

Clarence Nationals MP Chris Gulaptis was joined by Minister for Police and Emergency

Services David Elliott and Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) Commissioner Paul Baxter at Grafton Fire Station to officially unveil the station’s new fire truck.

Mr Gulaptis said the new truck would greatly enhance fire protection and emergency response in the Grafton community.

“With this new vehicle now in the fleet, local firefighters are better prepared to meet the needs of the community,” he said.

“We continually see how hard our skilled firefighters work to keep us safe when fires and emergency situations

threaten and I offer my sincere thanks and gratitude to our FRNSW personnel for their outstanding efforts.”

Mr Elliott said the truck would greatly enhance fire protection and emergency response in the Grafton community.

“The NSW Government is committed to providing firefighters with the best equipment and technology available to support their vital work - protecting life and property,” he said “This new truck is part of a large roll out of new response vehicles across NSW that will give our firefighters the edge when responding to various emergencies.”

RAPPVILLE REBUILDS AFTER FIRES WITH NEW RFS BRIGADE STATION A new Rural Fire Service brigade station – that has become a symbol of resilience – has been officially opened in the northern NSW village of Rappville.

Clarence Nationals MP Chris Gulaptis was joined by the Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott and RFS Deputy Commissioner Kyle Stewart at a ceremony in the village, which had 21 homes destroyed in the October 2019 bush fires.

Mr Gulaptis said in a village with a population of almost 200, the loss of so many homes was devastating.

“The move to a central location is a major boost to the brigade’s accessibility and firefighting capabilities,” he said.

“It has been purposebuilt at a cost of almost $600,000 and I thank the NSW Government, the RFS, Richmond

Valley Shire Council, the local community and the brigade members themselves for all the hard work done to make this station a reality.

Mr Elliott said the brigade has a long history in Northern NSW. “The first fire brigade in Rappville was formed in 1952 where members were issued with equipment including wet bags, a tanker trailer and hand tools.

“Thankfully, the brigade’s 33 members

are now housed in a brand-new facility and they can continue their near-70-year practice of actively responding to incidents and supporting neighbouring brigades,” Mr Elliott said.

The new station featured two bays, amenities, workshop, storage room, kitchen and a training room.

The original station, located 5km outside the village, will continue to be used as a storage facility for the brigade.

ABORIGINAL LEADER TO TRANSFORM OUTCOMES

Wiradjuri man and current Legal Aid chief executive Brendan Thomas

Wiradjuri man and current Legal Aid chief executive Brendan Thomas will head up a new NSW Government division dedicated to improving Aboriginal outcomes in criminal justice, child protection and housing.

Attorney General and Minister for Prevention of Domestic and Sexual Violence Mark Speakman said Mr Thomas would commence on 8 November as Deputy Secretary Transforming Aboriginal Outcomes at the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ).

“The NSW Government is committed to tackling the deep-rooted causes of Aboriginal disadvantage and improving our services and programs

to achieve meaningful, permanent outcomes that improve the lives of Aboriginal people,” Mr Speakman said.

“Brendan’s appointment to this important new role will drive us in meeting the National Agreement on Closing the Gap targets across child protection, the criminal justice system, housing and the prevention of domestic violence.”

Mr Thomas said the first step in his new role was to improve the way DCJ engages with Aboriginal communities.

“I’ve been given a huge role to undertake – one that is more than 200 years in the making,” Mr Thomas said.

“DCJ touches so many Aboriginal lives in so many ways. This means

it has the potential to divert people away from prison, and to ensure women and children are safe in their homes.

These are important issues affecting our most vulnerable, that we can and we must continue to address.

“The only way we can make a difference is to change our systems, embrace and engage with Aboriginal communities and transform their perception of DCJ.” Mr Thomas was appointed as CEO of Legal Aid in 2017. Prior to that he was a Deputy Secretary in the former Department of Justice, leading major criminal and civil justice reforms in the fields of domestic violence, services to victims of crime and Aboriginal communities.

PLAN AHEAD TO AVOID AIRPORT DELAYS •

Traffic and parking changes at Ballina Byron Gateway Airport – Area Map

Residents and visitors are being urged to arrive early at the Ballina Byron Gateway Airport to avoid the inconvenience of traffic delays and parking changes.

Car parking is reduced and changed traffic conditions are in place while the airport carpark is being upgraded.

The community is encouraged to avoid driving to the airport where possible.

Consider asking a family member or friend to drop off or pick up at the airport, or use alternative transport options such as taxis and shuttle

bus services. For transport options visit ballinabyronairport. com.au/transport-links • The following traffic and parking arrangements are now in place: • One-way traffic circulation in the main airport precinct • Enter the airport turning left at Seven Mile Brewery via Southern Cross Drive • Exit the airport via the new roundabout on Airport Boulevard, turning right onto Southern Cross Drive

Set down and pickup areas in front of the terminal • Rental carparking located in Zones A, B and C (as shown on airport website) • Taxi/shuttle bus zones situated between the secure overnight carpark and the administration building.

The airport carpark upgrade commenced in August 2021 and is expected to be completed in December 2021 (weather and site conditions permitting).

Once completed, this project will provide an additional 100 carparking space at the airport. Other features will include dedicated ground transport and rental carparking areas, installation of solar PV system over part of the long term carpark, a new simplified carpark management system including boom gates, and landscaping.

LETTERS, FEEDBACK AND OPINION

“TIME TO COME CLEAN” What has just happened with the Nationals? after eight years of obstruction, 20 fumbled climate policies, now all of a sudden, they miraculously agree on net-zero. Joyce himself, Bridget McKenzie, Keith Pitt, George Christensen, Matt Canavan, are all entrenched climate deniers and coal supporters, all threatening to cross the floor in Parliament and vote against net-zero by 2050, they will never agree to it, because the earth if flat, pigs can fly, and Politicians don’t lie.

But wait, Joyce said they’d only agreed to “a process for net-zero” that could actually mean anything coming from this BS. Artist.

The devils in the detail here, what conditions does this half-baked agreement come with.

What concessions has Morrison caved into? The big danger is the payment of $billions of taxpayer dollars in subsidies to prolong the life of the Australian fossil-fuel industry. There is also a growing campaign to

BORDER WOES An easy solution to the hard border between Qld and NSW is to have vaccination status tied to registration and therefore can be read by numberplate recognition by police and point to point cameras.

As well as this if Qld works in conjunction with their new counterparts many of these cars could be stopped before they reach the border by NSW or the point-to-point cameras that proliferate the highway for trucks.

Conversely NSW police could radio ahead to Qld police to be on the lookout for certain rego plates thus freeing up the border to most drivers who have had their registration plates read in NSW by highway patrol or point to point cameras.

HOUSING It’s so laughable I hear people up and down the coast complaining about the cost of housing. Well, if so, called locals didn’t sell out then those from Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane and all parts inbetween then there would be no housing crisis.

As well as this though if right wing councils allowing developers to build massive developments anywhere, they like even on flood plains and clear-felling koala habitat instead of small-scale developments only on available land in any LGA on the north coast then we wouldn’t have a housing crisis.

Furthermore, if long term rentals weren’t used as air b and b there’s supposedly 4,000 of them in Byron shire and 400 in Yamba then the housing crisis would not exist.

What’s this all called greed, greed, greed.

FACTS Just a few inconvenient facts courtesy of Dr Jennifer Marohasy. How many of the approx.

30.000 “special people” who are on their way to Glasgow for COP26 know that 78% of the atmosphere is made up of Nitrogen, 21% is Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide is 0.04%. Go figure, how does this miniscule quantity of gas drive the climate?, can any of you climate botherer’s out there provide a believable answer?, not likely.

Over the last few decades there has been an overall decrease in the amount of sea ice at the North Pole, but there has been a contrasting increase in the amount of ice at the South Pole. It is also a fact that should all the remaining ice melt at the North Pole it will have hardly any effect on global sea levels because it is sea ice not land ice.

Should all the ice melt at the South Pole, well this could cause global sea levels to rise by some 70 metres, so we might be grateful that it is trending as it is. Polar Bear numbers at the North Pole are currently 39.000 up from 26.000 in 2015, the bottom line is that despite a reduction in sea ice at the North Pole there has been an increase in polar bear numbers.

I am sure Mr Strong of Seelands can provide further in depth detail as to why I am wrong, after all what would the ignorant know?.

HOT GAS UTOPIA In reply to Dr Steinvorth NRT 5/11. May I suggest you curl up in your own warm fuzzy green utopian little world with overflowing vessels of advice and leave the hard lifting to the qualified, hardworking, risk taking, totally dedicated Beef Producers of our great nation.

The Beef Producers vote for whom ever is on their side, (we all know whom that is), they adopt the most economical and sensible new technologies all by themselves without the interference of you and your lefty economy destroying zealots, they actually make a huge contribution to our economy. Please enlighten us all to the cornucopia of ground- breaking state of the art innovations you invented and adopted when owning and managing your own small businesses.

What sacrifices have you personally made towards achieving these totally useless carbon dioxide reduction farces?

Why do you not have the courage to advise China to start towing the line? go over there and set up a protest tent in Tiananmen Square, tell them how much carbon dioxide they emit, they would welcome

your wealth of advice and knowledge. No, it is much easier and less life threatening to push your dogma here in Australia, where we are all so weary of being told what to do by the left hypocrite know-all’s who are selfappointed experts on how to tell us to live our lives, (socialists) where we are all protected by the rule of law, are achieving all of our promised targets however futile they may be.

We all want the Beef Industry to survive and prosper, so please Beef Producers, don’t take too much advice from exdoctors, scientists and rent a crowd. Mr Perring of Halfway Creek, if ever we have the pleasure to meet, I am sure we would get on famously.

G. MacDonald.

And as for job losses well government should put a bounty on feral flora and fauna so we can rewild cleared areas once all feral animals’ cats’ pigs etc are gone thus leading to eco-tourism which will employ thousands.

emissions by 2050, so did China, Russia and India who didn’t attend the G20 Summit, but it looks like we have been signed up to 30% reduction by 2030.

Scott Morrison sure copped it with the media saying the French President called him a ‘Liar’ after ScoMo’s govt cancelled the substandard diesel submarine contract on 16th September that Malcolm Turnbull’s govt initiated back in 2016. Maybe the French President should keep an eye on his military as this is what I read this week: ‘The report documented the sexual exploitation of children as young as nine by French troops stationed in the country as part of international peacekeeping efforts.’

Talking about broken contracts or promises, Dominic Perrottet has changed the date of NSW’s opening up date from 1st Dec to 15th Dec or 95% vaccination rates, whichever comes first.

ScoMo had originally announced that vaccines wouldn’t be mandatory but yet vaccines are mandatory in many work places. It looks like the G20 only agreed on 70% vaccination rates by mid 2022. Wouldn’t it be better to control the virus with treatments instead of controlling us?

Gladys Berejiklian got a hammering from ICAC enquiries as she didn’t declare her relationship with Daryl Maguire. How many other politicians and Medical Health Officers haven’t declared their friends and relations who have vested interests in Big Pharma and overseas companies? ‘Follow the money’ they say.

We’d love to hear from you!

repeal Australia’s ban on nuclear energy and to establish an Australian nuclear industry, that the Nationals have been supporting for years.

For Joyce to claim that the regions will be much better off because of this so-called agreement and refuse to state how is just not good enough, and is indicative of this secretive Govt. We, in the regions demand to know what this supposedly new technology to cut our carbon emissions entails.

Is it nuclear the dearest form of electricity and wouldn’t be available for ten years, or carbon capture for coal-fired electricity generation, also an expensive unproven technology? Kevin Hogan certainly has some explaining to do before the next election.

OPINION 13

LETTERS, FEEDBACK AND OPINION airline ticket trip for you and all your family to Disneyland on a selected plane and it was the only plane available (read the only planet we’ve got) and 99% of aeronautical engineers and scientists told you that plane was going to crash, would you get on that plane? It’s a simple question, just a yes or no answer will do.

R. Curran Ocean Shores RESPONSE TO ALAN MOSLEY Alan Mosley’s letter (NRT Nov 4) has a subtext wanting to reopen the Casino-Murwillumbah railway. And just like other regional rail advocates, he needs a serious dose of reality.

He dreams of $20 return fares Grafton to Gold Coast (cheaper for pensioners and children) but the reality is his fare wouldn’t even get him to Casino and back. The current train fare each way for the hundredkilometre journey is more than $13 and it would still be another 160km to Tweed Heads.

The road journey from Grafton to Tweed heads take 2hrs 18min (138 minutes) on the M1. The train takes 90 minutes just to reach Casino.

Add another three hours to reach Murwillumbah along the steam age branch line and you are just another thirty minutes from Tweed. If of course there were a railway from Murwillumbah to Tweed which there never has been. That is another two-billion-dollar project.

I don’t know what kind of car Alan drives those costs $150 to cover 432 km but a trip in my Hyundai looks like a bargain compared to the train for both my money and my time, especially when my wife can come along for no extra cost, and I can travel at

absolutely any time I choose without having to be limited to railway stations as my destination.

Why would anyone choose the train? More importantly, why would voters choose local government candidates who are still backing trains on this decrepit anachronism?

Greg Clitheroe Murwillumbah SCOTTY DOES SCOTLAND So finally, “Scotty” did Scotland-COP26 and sat down with the grownups, the Scots must have been left traumatised after being inundated with the same avalanche of BS, we’ve just endured; this climate con-job was the most nauseating display of expedient political backflipping by this Govt. (especially the Nationals), in history. Even this pitiful attempt at agreeing on something even remotely resembling a serious climate policy, is almost beyond their capability.

This latest exercise in juvenile grandstanding has no costing, no detail, no modelling, and no credibility.

The National’s spin was, “they’re not going to be rushed into making bad decisions without facts”, seriously, the facts have been on the table for a decade, they can’t handle facts. Every decision regarding climate change they’ve ever made has been bad; they’ve ignored the protests of their farming constituents, who have been dealing with climate change disasters for years; and are now turning against the Nationals in droves.

How is this corruption infested, incompetent rabble going to get out of this mess? Be prepared for another massive pork-barrelling campaign like Nationals Bridget McKenzie’s infamous

“sports-rorts” scandal.

Then came the Building Better Regions rorts, where money meant for regional infrastructure was spent in marginal metropolitan seats on swimming pools.

Then the daddy of all rorts, the Commuter Carpark rort, (Pork and Ride), where millions were promised to alleviate traffic congestion in marginal seats, and mostly never built. This seriously bad Govt. cannot continue; a Labor Govt with a Federal ICAC., is the only option.

Keith Duncan Pimlico WHEN IN ROME DUNCAN WALKER I’m sure your correct but people still running the gauntlet and police turning a blind eye to this as they are probably more important things to check on like speeding alcohol etc.

Alan Mosley Yamba I OBJECT I strongly object to words being put into my mouth. I never said Lionel Murphy was a paragon of virtue.

The fact that he was an old rogue doesn’t mean he was wrong when he said the A.B.C. has a bias towards the truth. Surely, he is proved right because A.B.C. reporting is based on truth.

Can Fred Perring give an example to prove this wrong?

L. Clarke Ballina PATRICK HEALEY AND INDIGENOUS HERITAGE Patrick Healey, of the Lismore Independents team, claims to support Bundjalung heritage but also supports the Dunoon Dam which would destroy extremely important Aboriginal living heritage as well as burial sites that

have been dated as precontact.

Strangely, Patrick Healey doesn’t even mention by name the people who would be shattered by this desecration: the Widjabul Wia-bal people.

He is of Aboriginal descent himself, and all the people on his team are either Indigenous (but not local) or are apparent supporters of Indigenous people.

There are a few possible reasons for this stand: 1. Patrick Healeys’ team holds local Widjabul Wiabal people in contempt 2. they hope that the Widjabul Wia-bal people will not notice this betrayal.

3. they have been told that the sites are somehow safe. This is what Patrick Healey claimed in a FB reply but when challenged to supply evidence of this claim he deleted it.

Here is the link to the (redacted) Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment released by Rous. https://rous.nsw. gov.au/page.asp?f=RESUZW-46-31-12 It shows that the burial sites and other important cultural sites would indeed be destroyed by the dam.

Please Patrick, be true to your people and renounce this cruel support for a project that would damage them so badly.

Keep the rest of your policies but let go of this one that diminishes you and all of your team as well as the Widjabul Wiabal people.

Claiming that you don’t have to decide because of the newly announced CSIRO investigation does not absolve you of responsibility to stick up for your people. You need to show where you stand right now and support Indigenous citizens.

All’s equal…until it’s not by Nigel Dawe

I’D be lying if I said I didn’t lose sleep over certain things, and one absolute reoccurring ‘shut-eye’ stealing spectre of mine, is the soul-scrunching notion, if not pinching reality of global inequality.

Maybe it’s my working-class background that was capped off, albeit ‘kicked off’ with reading ‘The Communist Manifesto’ when I was all of 12; and not that I am, or have ever been a card-carrying member of any ‘people’s’ party, but the notion “from each according to their ability to each according to their needs” (not ‘greeds’) was a principle that struck a deep chord in me, and one that most resonates when I think about the disparities of global economics.

If the truly ‘polarising’ statistics about privilege; distribution of wealth and societal financial inequality aren’t enough for us to each deeply question how we do what we do and why, then we might as well all stay in bed and just drift off into a lasting, dreamless sleep.

I find it staggering, if not utterly unconscionable, that the 26 richest billionaires own the same amount of assets as the 3.8 billion people who comprise the poorest half of the world’s population. I don’t begrudge anyone’s success, but when approximately 10,000 people die per day for lack of healthcare, and 262 million children are not in school throughout the world, because their parents can’t afford it, something is terribly wrong.

I cannot find any justification or rational grounds to reconcile the brutal contrast in people’s quality of life, not to mention experience of self and certainty, across the globe. Maybe self-entitlement and

a ‘more-more-more’ mentality have always driven those most inclined to a chronic, reflectionless greed, and an unflinching accumulation of personal wealth in the face of so many other people’s poverty and struggle.

The ‘numbers’ tell such a damning (and seemingly fictional) tale, that if aliens ever arrived on Earth, they’d have to be astonished by the fact the world’s 2,150-odd billionaires (one more is created every two days) have greater wealth than the 4.6 billion other people who comprise 60 percent of the planet’s population. If you really want a lasting image of smug personified though, then how’s the frightening ‘given’ that the 22 richest men in the world have more wealth than all the women in Africa combined.

So, what can be done you might ask, or not, depending on where you reside on the affluence scale; but according to research, taxing the richest one percent of the world’s ‘elite’ just 0.5 percent extra over the next 10-years, equates to the investment required to create 117 million jobs in sectors such as education and health, childcare and elderly.

Straightforward enough you might think, but compound this with the fact, governments the world over are massively under-taxing their wealthiest corporations and individuals – and there you have the murky, slippery and conniving crux of the problem. At the end of the day, it aids us well to remember, “Equality is the soul of liberty,” as once said Frances Wright, “there is, in fact, no liberty without it.”

14 OPINION

LETTERS, FEEDBACK AND OPINION CITIZENS AGAINST DAYLIGHT SAVING People complain about being sleepy and exhausted because of daylight saving but are ridiculed. Why are they just ‘tossed’ aside and classed as idiots?

There is a medical reason and that is: the hormone melatonin that is produced by the pineal gland in the brain.

Melatonin reacts to light/ dark re time to sleep and/or wake and our body clock/circadium rhythm and swapping morning light to night interferes with this, causing many health issues and massive cost worth billions as has been confirmed by the following information.

The Advertiser 2/4/2015:EARLY exercisers are looking fwd to the light returning to their mornings, as daylight saving draws to a close this weekend.

Adelaidenow 24/3/2012:Prof Olds University of SA said “Regular sleep deprivation had been linked with obesity, immune system deficienies & diabetes as well as memory problems”. ……. and… It’s a bit of a lost cause getting kids to get to bed earlier”. (comment: well their circadian rhythms are out of sinc because of ‘ds’ as the sleep experts tell us – too light to sleep the body clock ‘says’!).

Daily Express UK – Health – When it gets dark, the hormone is released, as the body’s signal that is time to fall asleep. The Journal of the American Medical

Association wrote thata melationin receptors have been found throughout the body including in pancreatic cells. This reflected “the widespread effects of melatonin on physiological functions such as energy metabolism and the regulation of body weight”, they said.

National Features

by Fiona Baker 11/2.2012:STUDIES have found going to bed earlier gives kids better brain power and health.

Studies into children & sleep are piling up & the latest suggests it’s not only how much sleep they get that matters but ALSO WHAT TIME THEY GO TO BED. It seems sleep is one of the most important parts of a child’s general wellbeing. The latest University of South Australia study on sleep times found children who go to bed earlier are less likely to be obese than those who stay up late.

See The Medical Journal of Australia :Public health implications of sleep loss: the community burden David R Hillman & Leon C Lack Med J Aust 2013; 199(8): 7-10 : Summary: Poor sleep imparts a significant personal & societal burden.

A recent evaluation of the sleep habits of Australians demonstrates that frequent sleep difficulties (initiating & maintaining sleep, & experiencing inadequate sleep), daytime fatigue, sleepiness & irritability are highly prevalent.

Study of the economic impact of sleep disorders demonstrates financial costs to Australia of $5.1 billion per year. This comprises $270 million for health costs for the conditions themselves, $540 million for care and associated medical conditions attributable to sleep disorders, and about $4.3 billion largely attributable to associated productivity losses and non-medical costs resulting from sleep loss-related accidents.

Sleep is a basic and necessary biological process that demands to be satisfied as much as our need for food and drink. Inadequate sleep can occur if insufficient time is allowed for.

It is only recently that we have begun to understand the scale of the health and social consequences of insufficient sleep and sleep disorders. Sleep loss from these problems is associated with disturbances in cognitive and psychomotor function including mood, thinking, concentration, memory, learning, vigilance and reaction times.

These disturbances have adverse effects on wellbeing, productivity and safety. Insufficient sleep is a direct contributor to injury and death from motor vehicle and workplace accidents. Further, relationships have been demonstrated between shortened sleep and a range of health problems including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease & total mortality risk.

THE

CONVERSATION 23 May 2011, Leon Lack Professor of Psychology, Flinders University Feeling sluggish?

Grouchy even?

Difficulties getting out of bed? Sally Ferguson – University of South Australia, in a recent article for The Conversation, your circadian rhythm is your “natural pacemaker”.

It controls a range of bodily cycles including the 24-hr cycle that regulates your degree of alertness at various times of day.

THE CONVERSATION 2 Aug 2013, Hannah Valmadre Editor, Pof Leon Lack, Nicole Lovato Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Adelaide Institute for Sleep Health, Flinders University Relying on electrical light after sunset contributes to late sleep schedules, which disturbs natural circadian rhythms & can leave us feeling not well rested.

Dr Leon Lack said the new study confirms many anecdotal reports from patients who suffer from delayed sleep.

The study suggests that controlling light exposure and increasing morning light exposure would be sufficient to treat delayed sleep problems.

THE CONVERSATION 4 Apr 2014 Prof Leon Lack Internal body clock | The primary body clock, located in the brain, keeps the rhythmic variations of a number of bodily & behavioural functions – such as

hormone production, temperature, and digestive function – in synchrony with each other.

It also determines when we are alert and sleepy (and prone to making mistakes if not safely in bed asleep). This process is called a circadian rhythm. This body clock is endogenous, meaning it keeps its own time.

Therefore, after the transition off or onto daylight saving time, our circadian rhythm of sleepiness/alertness is an hour out of sync. It’s a bit like having very mild jet lag.

This blather skite does not seem to care how much he must lie, and to whom. This last appalling attempt to dig himself out of the deep hole he dug with the French President by viciously back grounding and leaking confidential diplomatic communications is about as low as it’s possible to go.

But it shouldn’t really surprise anyone.

Morrison has a longchequered history of misrepresenting the truth; it started when he worked for Tourism Australia and was eventually sacked by John Howard for being uncontrollable. The pre-selection battle for the Federal seat of Cook in 2007, that Morrison eventually won, is widely regarded as the dirtiest in-house Liberal Party brawl in history. Morrison is widely accused of back grounding and leaking personal information on his main rival Michael Towke.

The appointment of Morrison to the front bench after Abbott ousted Turnbull in 2009 strongly suggests he was complicit.

Again in 2015 when Turnbull counter rolled Abbott, Morrison was immediately promoted to Treasurer. In 2018 when Dutton challenged Turnbull for the leadership, “curiously” Morrison ended up winning; in each case Morrison came up with a promotion, coincidence? highly unlikely. There is also evidence to suggest Morrison’s office back grounded Brittany Higgins boyfriend when her alleged rape in Parliament House went public.

Morrison does not seem to care who he destroys in order to win, he is on record for lying on multiple occasions, he seems to have no concept of what actually is the truth, like his mate Trump it’s whatever it has to be.

New name for sporting field LISMORE City Mayor Vanessa Ekins unveiled the new sign naming Ground 3 at the Albert Park Baseball Softball Complex as the Kayleen Shailes field on Monday.

Mrs Shailes is a muchloved and respected member of the local softball fraternity.

The naming of the field as Shailes Field was kept secret from Mrs Shailes who attended the unveiling.

Far North Coast Softball Association Secretary Di McGowen said it was a recognition that was well deserved.

“Kayleen is a much loved and respected member of our softball community, who has contributed so much for our game both locally and on a national level,” she said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Some of Mrs Shailes’ accomplishments include being inducted as a

Life Member of the Far North Coast Softball Association, playing for the NSW state team, coach of the Men’s Under 23’s NSW softball team, an executive of the Far North Coast Softball Association and umpire.

Lismore City Council Manager of Liveable and Active Communities Tony Duffy congratulated and thanked Mrs Shailes for her work and dedication to softball, both locally and nationally.

“It’s a fitting tribute to a woman who has done so much for the sport,” he said.

“The Albert Park Baseball and Softball complex is a popular and world-class facility.

“Council is working hard to attract more major sporting events to the complex so we can support our local softball community with exciting fixtures to showcase the sport.”

ease the pressure on my loved ones with the #1 maker and executor of Wills in NSW.

I WILL WITH NSW TRUSTEE & GUARDIAN.

WHO LOOKS AFTER YOUR PET IF YOU CAN’T? It was nearing 5 o’clock on a Friday afternoon late in the summer when NSW Trustee & Guardian urgently activated a Power of Attorney for Mary*, who was experiencing dementia.

Mary has been taken to hospital and was staying in respite care but was very concerned about her 13-year-old blue heeler dog named Leela, who was at home alone in the backyard.

By appointing NSW Trustee & Guardian as her attorney while she had capacity some years ago, Mary was able to ensure her beloved pet was looked after.

Pets can be left in homes when people die intestate (without a valid Will), or where people have health issues, which make it difficult to communicate with others and tell them about the pets they can no longer take care of.

Animals who cannot be provided for when their owners can no longer look after them may find themselves in the local animal shelter or being euthanised.

Under NSW law, a pet is still regarded as property belonging to their owner, which means pets cannot hold title to property or inherit money as a beneficiary under a Will.

But they can be provided for in other ways, such as through a legacy or a trust fund.

Ruth Pollard, Director of Legal and Professional Services at NSW Trustee & Guardian, says there has been a rising trend of pet owners making provision for them in their Will and even leaving large inheritances for their pets.

“You need to make sure that the clauses in your Will are worded correctly and that the family, friend or charity you choose to look after your pet can fulfil their duties. An

animal cannot apply to a court if their trustee or carer fails to fulfil the obligations imposed by your Will.”

NSW Trustee & Guardian is the state’s largest Will maker and has been trusted with over one million Wills and counting. In-person appointments are now available with the Lismore team at 6 Zadoc street. Contact 1300 10 20 30 or visit www.tag.nsw. gov.au. * Names changed to protect the privacy of individuals.

Small in school size but not in grand ideas and innovation

By Margaret Dekker EMPIRE Vale Primary School has won the 2021 Green Innovation Award for its “clever and wide-reaching” Koala Minecraft project.

The primary school on the banks of the Richmond River near Ballina South has just 21 pupils and three teachers but it wowed judges with its innovation and execution in creating a ‘Minecraft World’ especially for koalas.

Minecraft is an online video game where

participants ‘create their own worlds’ with anything they can imagine and is very popular with children.

For their entry in the Green Innovation Award, the pupils from Empire Vale Primary created imaginary ‘safe havens’ for koalas against real-life environmental threats.

“So they created an archipelago of islands through Minecraft, and each island was a lesson on how to look after koalas,” Dr Bridie Cullinane (Chiro.) Green

Innovation Awards founder said.

“So those islands included cow-free zones – because did you know eight koalas a year are killed by cows? – a koala hospital including education centre on koala disease, a bushfire refuge and even the inclusion of a triple-zero number for koala emergencies!” Dr Bridie Cullinane said.

“It was fantastic, definitely something only young people could come up with, and out of the box, the judges loved it,” she added.

Judges scored finalists’ entries including Bexhill Public School, Tregeagle Public School, Goolmangar Public School, Empire Vale Public School and St Ambrose Catholic School in Pottsville, on Innovation; Potential Impact; and Idea Development.

Further impressing judges, Empire Vale Primary School’s ability to directly share the Koala Minecraft world with others by offering a real link to their online game through the

until then enjoy our project information video. Congratulations once again to our students!” Empire Vale Primary School’s Facebook page read.

Next year, the 2022 Green Innovation Award will expand its reach to include Years 7 and 8 students.

“We’re hoping to get more teenagers involved as well, to realise they can make a positive difference in this world,” Dr Bridie Cullinane award founder said.

From Murwillumbah to the Middle East, with organic goodness and passion

By Margaret Dekker IT WAS a lifeaffirming moment for Murwillumbah exporter Anni Brownjohn, when scanning the supermarket shelves in faraway Jordan .. then she saw it.

Her product. Ozganics Australia pasta sauce, and plenty of it, all the way from home.

“It’s bizarre isn’t it?

From Murwillumbah to the rest of the world, I mean I was standing in Jordan and going ‘we made that in Murwillumbah!’” Anni Brownjohn, Ozganics Australia founder, laughed.

It’s one of many key moments for the established organic wholefoods manufacturer in South Murwillumbah, the latest being named NSW Business Exporter of the Year Northern Rivers, pipping dairy giant Norco. It’s justrewards in a trading year like no other under the vagaries of a pandemic, all while recovering still from “three metres of dirty water in the factory” in 2017.

“So for us it was recognition, we’ve all been doing two jobs for at least the last year and a half,” Anni told The Northern Rivers Times.

Shipment delays, container shortages, wharf strikes, poor growing seasons, freight prices soaring, glass and lid prices up, fruit picker shortages and border closures all contributed to one helluva year.

National Accounts Manager Sherralee Tempest and Ozganics founder Anni Brownjohn in their South Murwillumbah showroom.

But people need to eat and increasingly, Anni says, eat well.

Ozganics ironically recorded a 15 per cent growth in total export volume in its Covid-19 year, to markets as varied as Vietnam, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Indonesia, New Zealand and Taiwan; “And they’re decent orders as well,” said Sherralee Tempest, Ozganics National Account Manager.

And a small secret to their success?

Maintaining relationships ‘during the quiet space;’ a skill Anni’s mastered since her first shipment to Singapore, 22 years ago.

“So we’ve been in export really from day 1,” she said.

“Relationships are so important.”

Ozganics also proudly supplies the domestic market with its organic and mostly vegan sauce, salsa and dressing range.

“It’s distribution! We want more people to eat organic food. We’re so chuffed that Ozganics is now in Coles and Ozganics dressings are now in Woolworths,” Anni said.

“Even though we’ve got our domestic market here, I think it’s always a bit of coup when you have people from the other side of the world also wanting your products on their shelves,” Sherralee added.

‘Exporter of the Year Northern Rivers’ is a far cry from Anni making jams and cakes for the Bowral markets back in the 1990’s, when Anni first began resisting

agricultural chemicals on her property.

Arriving in the sub-tropics of Murwillumbah, the “biggest mangoes I’d ever seen in my life” got her back in the kitchen, despite the humidity, and it was when the penny dropped (again, in a supermarket!)

“I’m looking at the foods and going ‘why is this imported,’ ‘why are these full of stuff that’s not good for the environment or my family,’ and I just started to cook organic food for myself, take stuff out with little ‘Anni’ labels on it and sell it in shops.

Tropical Fruit World was my first customer,” Anni fondly recalled.

“And honestly at my home you couldn’t see the kitchen table, I had boxes full of

sauces everywhere and I thought ah, I better find a factory and then I thought, OK, I’ll be an organic sauce maker.”

That was 1999 and today ‘that factory’ is a study in organic manufacturing prowess under unique and mostly confidential controls.

“There is quite a big difference between putting it through our facility and how we run it compared to a big commercial operation.

We don’t use artificial additives and chemicals, we don’t clean down that way, the last thing that comes into contact with our machinery is water,” Anni Brownjohn said.

But to the team at Ozganics, organic doesn’t just mean being chemical free; it’s ‘a holistic way of growing and handling

food. The whole system is linked; soil, plants, animals, food, people, environment,’ its marketing reads.

Ingredients like vegetables, fruits, tomato-paste, sugar, even spices are strictly certified under rigorous national and international standards, from certified organic growers around the country or globe, and they’re absolutely free of Genetically Modified Organisms/GMO. Then there are the recipes, arguably the most ‘organic’ part of Ozganics’ operation!

Anni’s Mum’s Butter Chicken sauce – without the butter - and her Dad’s famous Mango Chutney are now handed down to Ozganics’ customers in recipes Anni is solely and remarkably responsible for. Organic garlic, herbs, oils and spices are all in the mix in what’s a creative, nutritional and sometimes sentimental approach to taste and food feel.

“Where does the inspiration come from?

You just know what works,” Anni smiled.

Anni Brownjohn sure knows what works in the organics space after more than two decades of not only manufacturing but also helping establish key management, safety and certification standards in the oncefledgling sector.

CWA FNC THREE members of CWA Far North Coast were presented with 50-year certificates at the AGM recently.

The smile says it all, during rehearsal for this Sunday evening’s show, and (right) “The Greatest Showman” Max promises a night of colour and fun.

The night Lennox Head Sprung!! to life

By Margaret Dekker THIS Sunday’s gala of dance, theatre and celebration of diversity by the Sprung!!

Integrated Dance Theatre will be remembered as a night Lennox Head indeed sprung to life!!

For one night only, Sprung!! presents its 2021 Gala to a local audience at the Lennox Head Cultural Centre this Sunday, November 14.

In a year of

‘tremendous ups and downs’ and often isolation from weekly classes, the Gala is seen as a triumph of resilience, hope and determination by the troupe.

“It’s been really tough and the dancers have struggled hugely with that isolation. But now it’s like this ‘free-forall!’ The excitement is palpable, the dancers are beside themselves with excitement,” Alex McCauley, Sprung!! spokesperson said.

Performances from both the Community Dance Program and the Sprung!! Ensemble dancers will be followed by a rendition of the uplifting anthem of The Greatest Showman, ‘This is me,’ by an Auslan choir.

“This is Me. It’s the theme of the Gala if you like, it’s going to be really special,” Alex said with a smile.

And the excitement amongst the dancers is palpable, as opening night draws nearer.

“I like doing the gala to be sexy and good looking. I like performing for fun and dress up,” Max said.

“Having fun and being here with everyone is my favourite part of the gala. I feel happy when I perform,” said Alice.

Asbestos contaminates recycling A TRUCKLOAD of recycling has had to be landfilled due to asbestos contamination.

Last week, Kyogle Council and North East Waste conducted a waste audit on 100 household split bins.

During this audit they came across several pieces of asbestos, which contaminated the audit, put staff health at risk and resulted in an extensive amount of valuable recycling material going to landfill.

“Contamination like this, costs all ratepayers money because placing

recyclables into landfill costs significantly more than transporting it from our Waste Facility to the recycling facility in Chinderah,” a spokesperson said.

“It also has created unnecessary risk to the health and safety of staff, has stopped an audit from being completed, has undermined the community’s recycling efforts, and has increased greenhouse gas emissions from landfill.

“Everyone is responsible for their own waste - especially if it is hazardous and unsafe.”

With at least one in three Australian homes containing asbestos, if you think an item might be asbestos, it probably is.

Kyogle Council offers free asbestos testing kits, and these are available from the council administration building.

“We ask all residents to please think twice about what you are putting in your recycling bin,” the spokesperson said.

“This is an illegal dumping incident that council is incredibly concerned about.

“We encourage all

residents to report any and all illegal dumping incidents, whether it is household waste in our public bins, a mattress on the side of the road, a stack of tyres or an abandoned vehicle.

“Asbestos is the worst type of material to be dumped in our environment and has extensive and devastating impacts.”

Contact Kyogle Council on 6632 1611 if you have any questions on asbestos and to report illegal dumping incidents.

through the audience.

For me, with the flying, it will be as if I’m doing it for my family. And it’s on my birthday! This year it feels so good,” Jordan said.

The audience is invited to be ‘uplifted, moved and entertained’ in a cabaret-style setting with table groups, and drinks and antipasto platters available throughout the 90-minute show.

Performance starts at 6pm. Guests are asked to arrive by 5.30pm for Covid-safe check in,

(ticket-holders must be double-vaccinated.)

For further information and to purchase tickets visit communityspaces. com.au/tickets.

Sprung!! is a notfor-profit community organisation providing dance and theatre workshops for persons with and without disabilities.

“The Gala is the highpoint of the dancers’ year, and this year even more so,” Alex said.

Beachfront resort relocates native bees A NEST of native stingless bees at Byron’s Elements of Byron Resort is being relocated as its current home, a dead and potentially dangerous hoop pine, needs to be removed.

The relocation will involve a truck, crane and four workers.

“I am confident they will adapt to their new

surroundings,” said Grounds and Activities Manager Alastair Oakman.

“The bees’ new home will be waterfront with the region’s largest privately owned littoral rainforest as their backdrop.”

The tiny bees build resinous nests inside hollow trees and thrive

in Australia’s warmer climates.

Many households now keep them as whilst they only produce small amounts of honey, they are exceptional pollinators.

Alastair and his team manage the 88.2 hectare North Byron Beach Resort property which incorporates the 20.2

hectare Elements of Byron Resort.

Half the property is dedicated to E2 and E3 conservation zones, with most of this under the stricter E2 zone.

A planning proposal would see this figure rise to 60 per cent of the overall property.

“Lockdown or no lockdown, guests or no

guests our work here goes on,” said Alastair.

“The only difference really is that we don’t do the guided nature walks during lockdowns.”

North Byron Beach Resort is seeking additional staff for their land management team.

“If there is anybody within driving distance with a love of nature, a

passion for learning and working outdoors we would love to hear from you,” Alastair said.

Working in the North Byron Beach Resort grounds management team involves extensive regeneration work, landscaping, guest education and nature tours.

The 2021 North Coast National Showgirl Competition THE North Coast National Showgirl Competition provides an opportunity for young women to become involved in their local communities as rural ambassadors and to encourage and promote their local Agricultural Show.

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

MUM, can we go to the Himalya Cafe?

‘LEEMO CAT’ here.

As ‘Mum Jane’ and I were having a morning chat she said...‘Leems’... do you remember the idiom “if the shoe or cap fits, wear it”. Well, I note you ‘attempting’ to insert yourself into a box that DOES NOT FIT you Leems...you are too, errrm, yep, that’s it, “fluffy”, and your tail is too big...so go find a box that does fit…OK? Well, I never!!

There I was, quite snug and content in that box in our shed, as is visible from my photo below. In my astute feline interpretation of Mum’s words I KNOW she was truly saying I was plump. How rude! However, I have imbibed the wisdom to ignore Mum’s sometimes ill-worded rhetoric and now live every single moment in my life as if it were my last. This came via my very far-flung relative, the Dalai Lama’s cat, aka ‘Snow Lion’. I read his latest book “The Art of Purring” and commended it to my cat buddies. (Also thinking to myself, it would also benefit a lot of humans!)

Mum interrupted my reverie. ‘Leems, remember I told you that ‘we’ would go to Magnetic Island (where she lived for a time as a child) for a holiday.. well, WE CAN’T GO! Crikey! ‘Ooohnooo Mum, you promised. I was so looking forward to having a snorkel & stuff and finding nifty shells on the beach and going to the annual Toad

Races at Arcadia Pub. So how come we’re not going? Mum gave me a soft rub and said ‘Leems, unusual as it is, it is not your fault.

She went on to tell me that a group of residents on Magnetic Island have taken a motion to Council which proposes change to local laws ref. the keeping of pets, ‘specially domesticated cats, on the Island.

Ultimately, this will mean there will be no pet cats on Magnetic Island. In other words Leems, we would be UNwelcome. ‘OMG Mum...don’t they realise the blessings us cats bring to the health of humans? Whilst HEAPS of loot is spent on preventative medicine and therapeutic treatment research for humans with a range of physical and other health issues, at times it is to no avail. Mounting evidence suggests that ‘companion’ animals, such as us cats, can very much enhance the well being of our humans.

The end result is a huge $ contribution to health research. And, as a bonus, we bring sooo much happiness’.

CRIKEY, Mum looked rather taken aback at my brilliance. She gave me a hug and snuggle pat and told me I could watch 2 episodes of Bluey...Blissy!! But, we have to now plan a ‘cats welcome’ holiday.

Whoohoo...Mum, I found something... there are people called Catexplorer who organise trips for felines with their humans all around the globe. Mum, can we pleaaase go to the Himalayas, and visit the ‘Himalaya Book Café’...that’s where my cousin ‘SnowLion’ lives. Mums eyes rolled backward with $$$ signs of horror. Eeek.

Nite, Leemo. (I heard her mutter...why can’t he just want to go fishing on Lismore’s Wilson’s Creek?)

Young Italian couple help turn wilderness into Paradise

By Samantha Elley WHEN young couple Pietro (also known as Peter) and Louisa Mazzer (nee Gava) set sail from their homeland in Venice, Italy to make a new life for themselves, they had no idea of the difficulties they would face.

Peter’s father had been killed in the Crimean War and he and Louisa lived with his mother and two aunts. He knew if he wanted to make a life for his young family, as they had a baby daughter by this stage, he would have to leave his home country.

At the time of Peter’s decision to find a better life for his family in 1879, Charles de Briel, the Marquis de Ray, Consul for Bolivia at Marseilles had issued a prospectus calling for people interested in making a new life in what he called New France.

Today, the island is known as New Ireland.

Described as a fertile haven, it lay 350 miles north-east of New Guinea and offered each immigrant around 120 acres of land with a house, free passage and provisions to last six months.

The Mazzers and other colonists had to either

pay 75 pounds in gold or five years service as an agricultural labourer.

The Mazzers, along with 300 other Italians, left Italy on the ship India for their island ‘paradise’ on July 9, 1880 but were bitterly disappointed when they arrived. No houses had been built, no provisions made and the climate was so hot, it was more than many could bear.

Around 68 people died due to the poor planning.

After many negotiations with governments from Port Breton to New Caledonia, 200 members of the ill-fated expedition managed to make their way to Sydney on April 7, 1881. With the help of Sir Henry Parkes,

premier of the time; he assisted these strangers in a strange land.

Peter and his family followed Rocco Comminetti, an Italian working as a sailor on a boat, to an area near the Richmond River in 1882.

Rocco had selected 40 acres at what is now New Italy.

The Mazzers were the second to select land.

New Italy was seen as a ‘howling wilderness’ but in the space of three years the Italians who settled there worked hard to turn it into a place of splendidly tilled gardens, orchards and vineyards with a school and thriving community.

Louisa, born in 1889 as the seventh child of Peter and Louisa, remembers a weatherboard house of four rooms with a kitchen detached at the rear of the house.

There was tank water for drinking and a well that supplied the garden.

The garden had grapes, pumpkins, sweet potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

Mother Louisa would tend the garden while the men in the community went cane-cutting and farm labouring.

Peter would sell his grapes when in season, from a cart in the nearby villages of Coraki and Woodburn.

He also made his own wine. One Christmas his son Anthony, who was only very young, was staggering around and kept falling down.

When his mother asked him what was wrong, he replied: “The wine makes me fall down”. The little boy had managed to access his father’s wine and sampled a large amount.

In 1888, the Mazzer family left New Italy and moved around to various farms on the Northern Rivers until they finally settled in Lismore. Louisa died in 1926 in Sydney from a long illness and Peter followed in 1927, when he accidentally fell from a horse and cart. These hard-working pioneers who wanted a better life for their family, despite the curve balls thrown at them, made their mark leaving the world a better place. They are buried at East Lismore General Cemetery.

Their daughter Louisa went on to marry William Martin in 1911 and died in 1985 at the ripe old age of 95.

Algae detected at creeks and estuaries TRICHODESMIUM, a type of blue-green algae, has been detected in Cudgen Creek and the lower reaches of the Tweed River at Tweed Heads and in the Richmond River at Ballina.

The naturally occurring blue-green algae Trichodesmium has been detected in lower estuaries of the Tweed.

The marine algae has been found in Cudgen Creek between the boat ramp and Cudgen Creek Bridge, and in the Tweed River adjacent to Togo Reserve at Tweed Heads.

There have also been reports from Jack Evans Boat Harbour and Terranora Creek.

Council’s Senior Program Leader – Environmental Protection David Bell said Trichodesmium commonly bloomed in tropical and subtropical waters between August and December.

“As the temperature rises, we often see Trichodesmium along the Far North Coast at this time of year

and a number of local government authorities are reporting blooms,” Mr Bell said.

“While Trichodesmium is a blue-green algae, it can come in a lot of interesting colours including orange, grey, brown, green and purple.

It can also give off an

unpleasant ‘fishy’ smell.”

Mr Bell said blooms of some Trichodesmium could produce toxins that pose a health risk.

“We are encouraging people to avoid swimming and surfing whenever there is a bloom and to keep animals away,” he said.

“We are also advising that you don’t eat shellfish from affected waters. If you come into contact with the algae, rinse it off with fresh water.”

Extensive algal blooms have been reported within the estuary of the Richmond River

and its tributaries and have been identified as Trichodesmium erythraeum.

Blooms are also associated with a strong odour. In later life stages the species may be visible as a pinkish or green discolouration in the water.

As a precaution, Ballina Shire Council recommends that pets avoid contact with the bloom until it has cleared. If contact has occurred, thoroughly rinse the area with fresh water.

People should not eat mussels, prawns, or other crayfish where a bloom is present.

Marine and estuarine blooms will often move with the wind and tides, which means the bloom may present at different locations within the river and along the coastline.

Authorities will continue to monitor the bloom and advise the public as required.

Trichodesmium is a member of the phyto¬plankton family and plays an important role in the aquatic food chain.

For enquiries regarding harmful algal blooms contact Ballina Shire Council’s Public and Environmental Health team on 1300 864 444.

STATE’S SWIMMING SPOTS SET FOR SUMMER SWIMMERS across the state can dive in with confidence this summer, with the NSW Government releasing the 2020-21 State of the Beaches report.

The State of the Beaches report provides an overview of the water quality at 210 swimming locations monitored under the Beachwatch and Beachwatch Partnership programs !"#$%#&'()&* +,#*#&-*$./001$)&222

across NSW. On the North Coast, 68 per cent of swimming sites were graded as Good or Very Good – a 15 per cent decline on last year.

The 2020-21 report found: • 98 per cent of the 118 ocean beaches were graded as ‘Good’ or ‘Very Good’; • 77 per cent of the 71 estuarine swimming sites

were graded as ‘Good’ or ‘Very Good’; • 24 per cent of the 17 lake/lagoon swimming sites were graded as ‘Good’ or ‘Very Good’; and • All four ocean baths were graded as ‘Good’.

Environment Minister Matt Kean said 179 of the 210 swimming sites in NSW were graded as Good or Very Good, indicating they were

suitable for swimming most of the time.

“This is a good result given the wet weather conditions experienced in many coastal areas, including the wettest summer in NSW since 2012,” Mr Kean said.

“As we head into the summer swimming season I encourage everyone to not only Slip, Slop and Slap and swim between the

Water Minister Melinda Pavey said the report demonstrates the NSW Government’s commitment to improving water quality for communities.

“Rainfall is the major driver of pollution in recreational waters as it generates stormwater runoff and triggers

discharges from the wastewater system,” Mrs Pavey said.

“That’s why we encourage swimmers to jump online to the Beachwatch website before they jump in the water this swimming season to check the daily pollution forecast particularly after rainfall.”

At Home with Margaret Olley and Ben Quilty IN A new exhibition exclusive to the Margaret Olley Art Centre at the Tweed Regional Gallery, the work of Ben Quilty and Margaret Olley, two of Australia’s most celebrated artists, will be exhibited together for the first time.

At Home tells the story of mentorship, art and friendship between Margaret Olley (1923 – 2011) and Ben Quilty (b.1973).

Quilty, confined at home during Australia’s first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, made a sublime collection of still life paintings that connect to Margaret Olley’s enduring career.

“We know them as the ‘odd couple’ of the Australian artworld,” said Susi Muddiman OAM, Director of the Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre.

“But this will be the first time their paintings have direct association alongside one another in an exhibition.”

Olley and Quilty first met in 2002 when Olley was the guest judge of the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship. Quilty was awarded the prize that year and their friendship grew from this time on.

In 2011 their friendship was propelled into the

media spotlight when Quilty’s portrait of Olley was awarded the Archibald Prize, just months before her death.

“Quilty’s extraordinary portrait of Olley will feature in this exhibition,” Ms Muddiman said.

“We are thrilled to have the portrait here again but also very excited to showcase still lifes, painted last year by Ben

Quilty, on display in a public gallery for the first time.”

Margaret Olley dedicated her

extraordinary life and enduring career to the genre of still life painting. For nearly 50 years her famous Duxford Street home, re-created in the Gallery, was both her site and subject for painting.

She didn’t need to leave her own home to find inspiration or to paint.

In this exhibition, 2 very different artists show us their calm stillness of the everyday.

“It’s exciting to exhibit their work in this context,” Ms Muddiman said.

“It’s an opportunity to see their work through fresh eyes and to contemplate our own experiences of being at home during lockdown.

Still life, while being humble and domestic, has a universal power for connection and contemplation.”

At Home: Margaret Olley & Ben Quilty will be on display in the Margaret Olley Art Centre at the Tweed Regional Gallery from November 12 until February 20, 2022.

SO MUCH MORE THAN TEA AND SCONES WHILE CWA’s cooking and craft skills may be legendary, it is their commitment to improving the lives of women and children in their community and the friendships they make which are the glue that hold members together.

Despite Covid and its enforced lockdowns, Bangalow CWA branch is thriving. With more than 70 members the branch has a strong awareness on issues facing women.

The environment, homelessness and housing affordability, domestic violence and mental health are high on their list of concerns.

For many members, it is this commitment to and work on social issues which attracts them to the branch. It offers an opportunity to make a difference in the community.

CWA, has a long, proud history of lobbying government on social, medical and environmental issues. As the largest women’s organisation in the State, it is far from a conservative organisation.

As early as 1936,

State Conference delegates voted “that the Government be urged to establish equal pay for equal services irrespective of sex.”

They’d like to think this policy had had a greater effect but the resistance of current male leaders when it comes to gender equality is well entrenched so it is hardly surprising those (men) in power didn’t change the gender pay gap in 1936 despite the lobbying.

The CWA has quietly taken on many social causes over the decades. The group’s pragmatic and persistent style of lobbying has helped achieve a lot in surprising areas, much of which is now taken for granted, such as compulsory car seat belts, white lines on the side of the roads, flashing speed signs in school zones and free mobile breast-screening units.

Covid lockdowns and limitations on travel may have restricted some activities but Bangalow branch has been steadfast in its commitment to those living in vulnerable housing circumstances and its advocacy on

issues of concern.

In 2018 the Branch took a motion to State Conference seeking the policy of CWA of NSW: to campaign for specific housing options for older women faced with homelessness or a housing crisis. The Motion was passed unanimously and is now CWA policy.

The 2021 State-wide Awareness Week campaign calling for Urgent Action on Social and Affordable Housing options in rural and regional NSW was due, in part, to the work and advocacy of Bangalow CWA branch.

Bangalow CWA comprises many skilled artists, cooks and craftswomen. Their heritage building in the main street of Bangalow provides an invaluable shop front from which members’ quality crafts and preserves are sold.

This is the means by which the branch raises funds to assisit the local organisations supporting vulnerable women in the community.

The event proved so popular it promises to be an annual event each August so start thinking

about your entry.

If you are looking for a way to support your community, make new friends or actively promote awareness of

social issues, CWA is the group for you.

COMMUNITIES THE FOCUS OF AWARENESS CAMPAIGN WITH the prospect of another La Nina event this summer and the Northern Rivers at risk of another active storm season, the NSW State Emergency Service (NSW SES) has launched a new flood awareness campaign.

The Floods. The Risk is Real campaign encourages communities throughout the Northern Rivers to be aware

of their risk of floods and take steps to get prepared.

Commander of the service’s Northern Zone, Chief Superintendent Stephen Patterson, said communities had experienced flooding before and they would again.

“The Bureau of Meteorology has advised that this Storm Season, which will run from

October to March, we are likely to see a repeat of the conditions experienced last season,” Mr Patterson said.

“With the threat of another La Nina event, this will include the risk of increased rainfall and flooding.”

“That’s why it’s really important everyone, whether it be residents, business owners, and even people who travel

into the area for work, know their risks and to have a plan.”

Mr Patterson explained the campaign was designed to help people, especially newcomers to the area, know what they can do before a severe weather event strikes.

“As part of the campaign, NSW SES has provided a range of localised resources to offer the best guidance

for people who live, work or visit these areas,” Mr Patterson said.

“This includes a new website (www. ses.nsw.gov.au/ NSWFloodAwareness) with useful information on local risk levels and river gauges in each Northern Rivers Local Government Area.”

NRMA Insurance Executive General

Manager Direct Claims, Luke Gallagher, said the insurer was proud to partner with NSW SES on the campaign.

“We hope it will help communities better understand their level of risk and the practical steps they can take now to help protect themselves from flooding, which can ultimately save lives and property,” he said.

Byron booked out as state opens up WITH regional NSW including the Byron Shire open to fully vaccinated people from the Greater Sydney area, Mayor Michael Lyon said there was a mixture of angst and excitement in the community.

Cr Lyon said Byron’s accommodation was booked out.

“I understand that after

the lockdown people are coming here for a holiday and our Shire and our businesses welcome you with open arms,” he said.

“By the same token, please drive safely while you are here and treat our community, our workers and our environment with the respect and goodwill we

will show you.

“While many businesses are eager for visitors, ensuring adequate staffing has been a challenge due to the Covid restrictions but also the housing emergency which continues to have major impacts on our community.”

Cr Lyon said many

people were not sure what to expect especially how the increase in visitor numbers to the shire would play out in terms of Covid-19 infections.

“Unlike Sydney, and Melbourne, we have only had fleeting moments of Covid-19 so naturally people will be feeling anxious about what the

next several weeks may bring,” he said.

“Vaccination rates in the Byron Shire are continuing to go up and I am grateful the NSW Government listened to regional communities’ concerns and delayed travel to the regions for an extra couple of weeks.

“This has enabled shires like ours to be

better prepared for Covid coming into the community.”

Data from the Federal Government showed 83.4 per cent of people in the Byron Shire had received their first dose and 63.5 per cent had their second Covid-19 vaccination at the end of October.

Council chooses their option for Pat Morton Car Park Precinct

By Tonia Dynan BALLINA Shire Council has adopted Option 1 as the preferred concept for the Pat Morton Car Park Precinct.

As well as improving the car park function and amenity, the objective of the concept plan is to identify an option to improve the connectivity of the shared paths and walking paths that provide access to the area.

Council originally endorsed the public exhibition of four plan options.

A report assessing the feedback from the exhibition was considered at the September council meeting where council resolved to look at different options for the construction materials for the pathway for Options 1 and 2 from the concept designs.

A briefing to consider the options was held on

October 19.

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

The pathway is 2.5m wide and separated from the car parking pavement

by a narrow grass verge.

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

The purpose of the grass verge in Option 1

is to reduce the visual impact from the hard surfaces.

As well as amenity, the increased separation between the car park and the path provided by the grass verge is beneficial from a safety perspective.

For both options, the pathway would be

defined and separated from vehicles by wheel stops and pavement colour/patterning treatment.

Council endorsed the concept of Rock Salt Pitted Coloured Concrete as the preferred surface for the path to be provided, with council to be further consulted

regarding the specific details of this option, including final colour, as the project progresses.

As part of the naming of Pat Morton, council has voted to consult further with the local Indigenous community.

Consultation with the Registered Aboriginal Parties for the Coastal Walk has also been undertaken to allow an amendment to the existing Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit.

Funding for the shared path works will be identified in the 2021/22 budget.

At this stage there is only funding available for works directly related to the car park upgrade, with $65,000 in the 2021/22 capital works program for Pat Morton Car Park.

Cr Jeff Johnson asked for the decision on the car park precinct to be deferred until further community consultation was undertaken, but he was outvoted.

New commercial precinct for Ballina

By Tonia Dynan THE location of the commercial precinct in the Cumbalum/Ballina Heights Estate is being changed by Ballina Shire Council to bring forward the delivery of a muchneeded commercial precinct.

The precinct will now be at the corner of Power Drive and Ballina Heights Drive.

Cr Jeff Johnson said this in principle support was subject to project timing providing for construction of commercial facilities up front, detailed analysis of site opportunities and constraints, the terms of any voluntary planning agreement that the developer proposes, and details of overall public interest outcomes associated with the proposal.

“The Ballina Heights urban expansion area has been developing for over 10 years and now has thousands of homes but no commercial precinct

or supermarket,” Cr Johnson said.

“It’s my understanding that there was a proposed Woolworths or Coles supermarket planned to be constructed years ago but this never eventuated.

“There is a large block of land on the corner of Ballina Heights Drive and Power Drive which is ideally situated for a commercial precinct

including a supermarket and specialty shops, similar to the East Ballina Shopping Centre.

“At a recent councillor briefing it was discussed that this area could be rezoned from residential to commercial to help facilitate a viable commercial precinct.”

Cr Johnson said he believed the more than two-hectare block would be much better suited

to a commercial use rather than residential development as it was situated between a main road, a sports field and a wetland.

“This motion seeks to confirm Council’s support for a commercial precinct on this lot and for council planning staff to work with the landowner (the Catholic Church) to make this commercial precinct

happen sooner rather than later,” he said.

Councillors received a briefing from the developers of the Ballina Heights Estate on October 5 outlining a proposal to change the location of the planned commercial precinct within the estate.

Presently, a parcel of land opposite the intersection of Unara Parkway and Ballina

Heights Drive is zoned B2 Neighbourhood Centre and is the planned location for commercial facilities to service Ballina Heights and Banyan Hill.

In relation to this site, council resolved in March this year to progress a planning proposal to rezone part of this land for residential purposes in association with delivery of a series of outcomes enabling commercial development on the site.

This was to be detailed and formalised through a planning proposal and voluntary planning agreement.

In September the landowners put a proposal to council for the commercial site to be located on the corner of Power Drive and Ballina Heights Drive.

This involves rezoning of this land for commercial purposes and zoning of part of the existing B2 zoned land for residential purposes.

789:1;<=%,::>019 8:/<%:,;/;: <0,;019,%?28%,/<: Mayor calls for more affordable housing LISMORE Mayor Vanessa Ekins has called for more affordable housing in the region, saying families in the community desperately needed affordable housing.

“Housing is affordable when low to moderate income households are able to pay rent and meet other basic living costs such as food, clothing, transport, medical care

and education,” she said.

“Sounds reasonable but the surprising part is that a low income is considered to be $1233 per week or $64,116 per year.

“This is above the median weekly income in Lismore of $800.

“Finding homes for families earning less than this is very difficult.”

Cr Ekins referred to a map that identified

2000 house lots that are currently being developed in Lismore, with another 1000 in the planning stages.

“The $500,000 plus price tag to buy and build one of these houses means they are not meeting the needs of our community, but plenty of land is being developed for housing,” she said.

Buyers waiting for price reductions will be disappointed PROPERTY buyers waiting for promised price reductions will be disappointed, according to Pete Wargent, cofounder of Australia’s first national network of property buyer’s agents, BuyersBuyers.

Mr Wargent said, “low mortgage rates are still attractive for investors, and asking rents are rising much more quickly now, up by about 10 per cent over the past year. Activity in the housing market is robust and likely to pick up as Sydney and Melbourne restrictions ease”.

“Recently there have been some calls for the Reserve Bank to increase the cash rate sooner than previously expected, markets looking for a potential increase of up to 1 per cent in 2022, but even in that scenario mortgage repayments would remain comfortable” Mr Wargent said.

Doron Peleg, CEO of RiskWise Property Research, said “it is unlikely that there will

be an increase in the cash rate in 2022. The RBA has made it clear that a number of conditions need to be met for the cash rate to increase.

Primarily, the inflation rate should be sustained (i.e. over a few quarters) within the 2 to 3 per cent range, which is the bank’s target”.

Me Peleg said, “some of the major contributing factors to the current inflation rate include commodity prices and supply-chain issues.

These are global factors and are likely to be mitigated over time.

Employment conditions and wages growth should be improved solidly over

the next few quarters.

Still, the immigration reboot is likely to take the pressure off wages growth again later next year.”

“Combined with elevated underemployment and underutilisation, this means it’s unlikely that wages growth and employment measures will show a consistent improvement so quickly.

So when the cash rate is finally increased, it’s also highly likely that the increases will be gradual to assess the impact on markets” Mr Peleg said.

Solid demand for housing

Pete Wargent of BuyersBuyers said, “In New South Wales and Queensland, we are certainly seeing that the incomes of some of our buying clients are increasing for professional roles due to the current skills shortage. In addition, lending figures and historically strong auction clearance rates over the past week also show that the market remains strong.”

“The immigration intake next year itself will only add to housing demand, and it should be noted that houses and other familysuitable properties are experiencing strong demand across many areas of the country” Mr Wargent said.

Interest repayments and out-of-pocket costs remain low Mortgage interest repayments, which form a large proportion of the out-of-pocket costs for investors and owner occupiers, remain very

low.

Mr Wargent said, “last quarter, we saw a record share of borrowers taking on fixed-rate terms, confirming that property insiders agree the bottom of the interest rate cycle is in.”

“But context is important, and the share of household income expended on interest repayments is tracking close to as low as we’ve seen over the past four decades. Even 100 basis points of interest rate increases from here can be absorbed by the market, as interest rates (and consequently monthly repayments) will still remain favourable in comparison to historical averages” Mr Wargent said.

“For example, the fortnightly repayments for an 800,000 principal and interest home loan, taking out for 30 years, would likely be increased by around $200. The topend of the market may be more impacted by such a move, but overall the demand for housing

finance we expect to remain strong.”

“At the coal face, we are seeing many more auctions and listings come online now in Sydney and Melbourne, which is a healthier dynamic for the market and will naturally cool the rate of price growth.

But overall, activity is still very buoyant, and we definitely expect to see prices higher than today by the end of 2023” Mr Wargent said.

Steadier price increases forecast Doron Peleg, CEO of RiskWise Property Research, also said that the property market research firm expects to see dwelling prices rise next year.

Mr Peleg said, “we don’t expect the Reserve Bank to increase the cash rate in 2022, and there is fierce competition between banks and non-bank lenders, keeping a certain level of downward pressure on mortgage rates”.

RED ELECTION

SBS, 8.30pm

Now hitting the halfway point in its spy thriller story, and some viewers are still holding on to hope that Red Election will finally deliver some outstanding plot twists, a few foolhardy performances from its stars, and some wise moves by its protagonists to foil the baddies. But it’s wise not to get too excited about where this lacklustre Swedish thriller is heading, because there’s nothing groundbreaking on the horizon. Tonight, Zak’s (Aidan McArdle) special advisor, Nikki (Amy Shiels), talks to Adam (James D’Arcy) about rigging the digital vote to keep Scotland in the UK. Meanwhile, William (Stephen Dillane) urges Adam to resign.

If you think getting a pet is as simple as waltzing into a pet shop or local RSPCA and pointing at the dog you fancy through a window, or simply paying a breeder and rocking up six weeks after the due date to pick up your furry friend, you’d be wrong.

If The Dog House Australia is anything to go by, acquiring a pet involves a meeting of minds – and that isn’t a bad thing at all. Anyone watching this heartwarming series is reminded how important choosing the right pet is for a fruitful and affectionate relationship.

Marvellous Mudgee MUDGEE is one of the country’s great wine towns, where wineries set on rolling hills serve award-winning drops and epicurean fare.

Set on the banks of the pretty Cudgegong River, the town still possesses all the character of its 19th century past.

Mudgee offers something for every kind of country traveller.

Things to do There are many things to do in and around Mudgee, from wine tasting at cellar doors and shopping in

excellent boutiques to exploring the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Wollemi National Park.

Join a winery, heritage and wilderness tour or go hot-air ballooning with Balloon Aloft.

Stroll along the elegant tree-lined streets and you’ll find many wellpreserved colonial buildings, including the Mudgee Post Office, designed by architect Alexander Dawson and built in 1862.

Parts of the sandstone St Mary’s Catholic Church date back to 1857.

Food and wine You’ll find top restaurants like Pipeclay Pumphouse and Zin House, cool wine bars such as Roth’s Wine Bar and lovely cafes, like Alby & Esther’s tucked down an historic cobblestone laneway.

For locally made beers and hearty meals, try the Mudgee Brewing Company.

Be sure to check out the Mudgee Wine and Food Festival, a month-long celebration in spring.

Pick up fresh produce from the Mudgee

region at the Mudgee Fine Foods Farmers’ Market, held on the third Saturday of the month in the grounds of St Mary’s.

Night time wonders Mudgee’s night skies are a bonus for stargazers.

A short drive from the town centre is the Mudgee Observatory, where you can see the Milky Way galaxy

through a range of telescopes.

There are night and day tours, as well as a theatre and flat screen planetarium.

Where to stay Mudgee is a 3h 30min drive northwest of Sydney, via the Blue Mountains.

NORTHERN NSW BUSINESSES FOCUS ON `GO

LOCAL FIRST’ SUPPLY CHAINS IN MODULE THREE

As Northern NSW businesses recover from tornado disaster events while COVID-19 lockdowns lift and business as usual returns, a new spotlight has been put on the value of local supply chains.

Business Community Resilience Toolkit creator and Director of corporate2community, Renae Hanvin says many regional businesses are benefiting from their decision to use local suppliers, with the benefits extending beyond individual businesses into the wider community.

“When businesses choose to switch to local suppliers, they boost the local economy, create local jobs and strengthen community connections.

That’s why we’re focusing our third BCR Toolkit theme on the benefits in looking locally for not just customers, but suppliers too.”

Creator and Director of corporate2community, Renae Hanvin

Local business owner and case study in the BCR Toolkit ‘Supply Chain’ module, Samara Kilner, launched her Graftonbased business Petal & Spice (petalandspice. com.au) with a commitment towards sourcing local suppliers.

“The recent bushfires were really eye-opening for me, in that it exposed how we can be quite fragile and vulnerable as a community. The

COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted this and I think it’s been a great strategy for us as a business to source local, make local and support local.”

“I know that buying locally as part of my supply chain comes with not just great quality products, but it brings financial benefits to others like me in my community.”

“It makes sense

economically, for supply reliability, and also for ethical reasons. It makes good business sense and feels good to celebrate all that we have to offer locally, and it has been our vision to really showcase that in our everyday business operations,” said Samara.

Renae Hanvin commends the approach business owners like Samara are taking to build strong, local supply chain

relationships.

“There are great programs that promote the benefits of buying local, such as Go Local First. The same message can be used for supplier purchasing and the next BCR Toolkit module focus is just that – helping Northern NSW businesses think differently about buying from local suppliers as a primary or back-up option,” said Renae.

Alexi Boyd, CEO of COSBOA (Council of Small Business Organisations Australia) who manages the Go Local First campaign says “With 9 out of every 10 businesses across Australian communities being small businesses, it’s important to highlight the value of buying locally.”

“Small businesses need our support to stay open, especially during these challenging times.

Sourcing locally plays a vital role in building prosperous connections where local businesses big and small support each other to ultimately benefit the whole community,” said Alexi.

Northern NSW businesses looking to better understand their supply chains and other resilience-focused steps to benefit their business can sign up to the BCR Toolkit project at www.grants. corprorate2community. com All participants can access past modules including the 80/20 Rule and 3 Revenue Streams.

Every person from any business operating in eligible Northern NSW LGA’s can participate in the Toolkit program.

It’s all about taking small steps together to build resilience within and across the business community.

BALLINA COUNCIL VENUES PROVIDE A VIABLE START-UP OPTION Ballina Shire Council’s Community Facilities Team are helping startup businesses get off the ground by providing venues that offer a lower-risk and lowercost option.

“We are finding local operators who want to get a new business off the ground are having trouble finding a premises to lease or are nervous about signing leases and taking on the added costs and responsibilities,” said Roberta O’Brien, Coordinator Community Facilities.

“Council operates several venues in Ballina

“Being a regular hirer, I was entitled to a discount, so for me it’s been a win-win. I have a lovely space to conduct my business that’s clean, modern, and airconditioned, plus I get

the support of Council’s Community Facilities Team to promote the classes I am offering at the centre. I couldn’t be happier.”

Union secures historic minimum

wage guarantee for fruitpickers

Does your community have a project to

build drought resilience that needs a boost?

Northern Rivers Community Gateway Inc_Women on The Land - Get Ready Empower Yourself

The Australian Workers’ Union has secured an historic industrial win for one of the most vulnerable and exploited groups of workers in Australia – fruit pickers.

The Fair Work Commission has ruled in favour of the AWU after the union sought to amend the Horticulture Award to guarantee every worker on every farm is entitled to take home the minimum casual rate of pay, currently $25.41 per hour.

The National Farmers Federation, AiG, and other employer groups opposed the AWU’s case, defending the system that had seen farms dodge the minimum rate through piece rate arrangements.

With piece rates, workers are paid depending on the quantity of fruit picked or vegetables harvested. Manipulation of this system has led to widespread incidences of workers getting paid as little as $3 an hour.

However, the FWC ruled in favour of the AWU finding “the existing pieceworker provisions in the

Horticulture Award are not fit for purpose; they do not provide a fair and relevant minimum safety net.”

AWU National Secretary Daniel Walton said it was one of the most significant industrial decisions of modern times.

“I believe this decision ranks among the great victories of our union’s 135-year history,” Mr Walton said.

“Fruit pickers in Australia have been routinely and systemically exploited and underpaid. Too many farmers have been able to manipulate the piece rate system to establish pay and conditions far beneath Australian standards.

“The changes our union proposed, and that the FWC has now accepted, will put a safety net under fruit pickers to ensure they get what every worker in Australia deserves: a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work.

“Now it will be easy for workers — even if they don’t have good English language skills or Australian connections

(,,#!-%#%&02,

– to understand if they’re being ripped off. From now on if you’re making less than $25 an hour fruit picking in Australia your boss is breaking the law and stealing from you.

“I expect the federal government will join the NFF in fear mongering about this decision. After all they have just hatched a plan to bring in even more easily exploited workers from South East Asia. But now those workers can at least know if they’re being exploited. A clear floor has been put in place.

“This decision is not just a huge win for our union and for workers, but for regional and rural Australia. Workers who earn more, spend more in local shops. They pay tax. They rent local houses and contribute to regional communities.

“The so-called labour shortage in fruit picking has, in large part, been created by greedy employers destroying Australian working conditions. This decision is a huge step along the path to fixing this.

$2.9M in grants available for remote, rural and regional communities FRRR is encouraging community groups and not-for-profits (NFPs) in agriculturedependent communities to get their applications in for the next round of grants through the Future Drought Fund’s Networks to Build Drought Resilience program.

The grants, ranging from $10,000 to up to $150,000, can support a wide range of initiatives that build resilience against future droughts including events, projects, activities, training and small-scale infrastructure that will strengthen community engagement, networking and preparedness for drought.

Funded by the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and a range of other donor partners, the program focuses on strengthening social connectedness, building social capital and funding transformative local initiatives that will enable agricultural communities to be more prepared for the impacts

of drought.

Round 1 grant recipients were recently announced, with funding awarded to local groups to support community projects such as events that will bring people together, training that will increase knowledge and skills, and infrastructure that will facilitate and enable networking.

Natalie Egleton, CEO of FRRR, said that the Future Drought Fund’s Networks to Build Drought Resilience program focuses on supporting communityled drought initiatives that build and strengthen connections in agricultural communities that are vulnerable to drought.

“Each community faces its own unique set of stressors and challenges, and is starting from a different place when it comes to building drought resilience.

That’s why this program funds projects that local communities have identified will help their community better prepare for the future impacts of climate change.

“In some places,

that’s initiatives like strengthening youngfarmer or women in agriculture networks, and for others it might be about building those community networks to share knowledge of soils or better understanding the latest tools and technologies around climate and seasonable variability. Yet in other places, the emphasis might need to be on wellbeing and building mental resilience.

“We’re particularly keen to see proactive initiatives that bring communities together, to create and strengthen social networks to engage in meaningful collaboration. This is a critical part of making sure remote, rural and regional communities can thrive in the future,” Ms. Egleton said.

Activities must be completed by 29 August 2022.

SIGNS TO SPOTLIGHT SAFETY THIS HARVEST SEASON

More than 500 signs rolling out on key freight routes and level crossings across western parts of the State are reminding drivers to take extra care on the road this bumper harvest season.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said this year’s grain crop is shaping up to top a record 16 million tonnes, with headers already ripping into the task in the north of the state, and some grain receival sites opening for the first time in seven years.

“This year’s expected bumper harvest couldn’t have come at a better time for our farmers, but it does come with additional safety concerns with more activity around silos and stored grain moving off site,” Mr Toole said.

“Road safety is everyone’s responsibility, so we’re rolling out two types of signs to remind drivers to be patient, slow down and take care on the road this harvest.

“The NSW Government has teamed up with GrainCorp to roll out 27 electronic message signs along key road harvest routes, from Moree to Coolamon, promoting safety around managing fatigue, being aware of trucks and wearing a seatbelt. An additional 18 of these electronic messaging signs will be placed at high-risk level crossings.

“Long days harvesting and transporting grain

can put farmers and drivers at risk, and with fatigue still one of the biggest killers on our roads, it’s important farmers and drivers look after themselves and take regular breaks.

“Being awake for 17 hours has a similar effect on you as a bloodalcohol content of 0.05, so these signs remind everyone to be well rested before starting a journey and to allow plenty of travel time.

“We’ve also got 500 free signs available for order by local farmers in western parts of the State whose properties have level crossings on them, which they can install on their gates to help increase safety at level crossings. Many farms have passive level crossings, which are only controlled by ‘give-way’ or ‘stop’ signs, so these signs let people know to stop and look for trains.

“Private level crossings

that rarely see trains throughout the year will have a surge in activity, so these available red and yellow-coloured signs, developed in partnership with the Australian Rail Track Corporation, will alert road users that a train may be on the approach.

“These signs are another measure we’re taking to improve safety at level crossings right across the network and drive the road toll

towards zero.”

GrainCorp Road Compliance Manager Kieren Gardner said it was great to be working closely with the NSW Government to drive home the road safety message during harvest.

“Off the back of a bumper 2020 harvest, ABARES are forecasting another large harvest in NSW, so once again there will be more grain trucks on the road in NSW from October right up to Christmas, so other drivers must be vigilant,” Mr Gardner said.

“Keeping everyone safe on the road is a priority and we ask that growers remain alert when harvest really gets underway in their particular area.”

Farmers who would like to request a sign for their property can go to: nswroads.work/gatesign.

ALGA WELCOMES NEW $150M FEDERAL PILOT PROGRAM TO IMPROVE SAFETY OF UNSEALED ROADS IN REMOTE AREAS The Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) has welcomed a new Commonwealth Remote Roads Upgrade Pilot Program that will offer councils 80 to 100 percent of required funding to make unsealed local roads safer and more productive.

Over 75 percent of Australia’s road network by length – about 678,000km in total – is owned and managed by local governments, with 61 percent of these roads unsealed.

ALGA President Linda Scott commended the program’s focus on delivering safer roads, saying all councils were committed to minimising road trauma.

“Councils are working hard to keep our communities safe on our roads, as one death is simply one too many,” Cr Scott said.

“We welcome this funding as a positive first step to ensuring our roads are safer, in line with the soon-to-be-announced National Road Safety Strategy 2021-30.”

Cr Scott said ALGA’s 2021 National State of

the Assets Report – to be launched next month – indicates that 14 percent of our unsealed roads are in poor condition.

“The state of local roads across Australia is a major concern, given that the road toll in regional

Major economic loss due to farm worker shortage

The state’s agricultural worker shortage has wiped hundreds of millions from projected harvest income as farmers desperately plead for access to labour.

NSW Farmers President James Jackson said reports of the state securing more farm workers would be welcomed if they came to fruition, but he warned the time for talk had passed.

“We’re getting into a pretty tough spot with a lot of crops, we need up to 16,000 farm workers and we need them now – not in two- or three-months’ time,” Mr Jackson said.

“NSW Farmers has been warning of labour shortages since the pandemic started and while you’d think our state and federal governments had learned the lesson last year here

we are again.

“Provided these reported workers arrive in the right place at the right time there’ll be a lot of relief on farms right across the state, because we’re hearing reports of great crops starting to go to rot.”

The state’s grain harvest was forecast to be worth $6 billion to the state economy, but the horticulture harvest forecast had been revised down from $2.3 billion to between $1.9 and $2 billion due to the worker shortfall.

Before COVID, many family horticulture businesses could put a simple sign on the gate and be flooded by workers wanting to help them pick the crop. Mr Jackson said COVID has changed that, and the state and federal governments needed to urgently support small to medium farming families

to get navigate the complex red tape around the Pacific Labour Scheme.

“If our farmers can get on with their harvest, it will pour billions of much-needed dollars into our economy, and start balancing the books after COVID,” Mr Jackson said.

“We welcome the attention on agriculture, but ultimately we need less talk and more action, we need to be able to get the workers to where they’re needed, and as Deputy Premier Paul Toole said we need workers on farm in the next week.

“It is imperative our state and federal governments work together because any more bureaucratic inertia will see fruit and vegies rot, and food prices increase!”

and remote communities is up to 10 times greater than in our major cities,” she said.

“All councils are committed to doing everything we can to ensure our roads keep our communities

safe, but this can be a challenging task in remote areas where more financial support from the Commonwealth is needed.”

She said eligible councils would welcome this new opportunity to

improve safety, equity, and productivity for their communities – benefits that will also be felt at the national level.

“To ensure no community is left behind, it’s vital that these grants are allocated where they are needed most, with applications assessed against transparent criteria.”

“Local government has a proven track record of working with the Federal Government on road safety programs such as Roads to Recovery and the Black Spot Program, and we look forward to working with them on this new pilot program,” Cr Scott said.

Guidelines for the Remote Roads Upgrade Pilot Program – which will target unsealed roads longer than 20km – will be released by the end of the year.

Science not slogans needed on methane NSW Farmers President James Jackson says a “key” climate promise from Glasgow is more about slogans than science.

Mr Jackson welcomed Australia’s decision not to sign up for a 30 per cent reduction in

agriculture in supporting human life is being lost in the hot air surrounding the climate debate, and some very clever people have managed to twist the facts and make farmers the bad guys on carbon emissions.

“The fact of the matter

Zero policies, rather than the big emitters.

“Agriculture is part of the climate solution, we are removing millions of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere and turning it into food, we are certainly not the problem that some want

methane emissions, which would have had disastrous consequences for agriculture without delivering any positive action on climate change.

“Farmers want a seat at the table, and instead we’re seeing world leaders put us on the menu,” Mr Jackson said.

“The critical role of

is that without a target agriculture has already reduced emissions by more than 30 per cent and we are the only sector actively removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.”

Mr Jackson said he was very concerned that agriculture was still being targeted by Net

to portray us as,” Mr Jackson said.

“Our members are among those most exposed to the impacts of climate variability, so we of course want to see actions to reduce emissions, but they need to be based in science, not slogans.”

Creating a new religion Climate catastrophe is upon us. And yet here we are, so far down the wrong road. Trumpeting a gas-led recovery. Watching wild lives wink out forever. Still stealing stolen lands. Standing by. Letting liars lie. Is it possible to imagine a way away from this precipice?

I dreamt of a queer insurgent science fiction climate change religion.

I offered a premise and provocation to artists I admire. They handed back blood, stink, breath, heartbeat, foot thump.

SJ Norman lent soulful, gothic glory to CREATION’s central text.

Everything proceeds from Liturgy of the Saprophyte.

A saprophyte’s nourishment is the decaying matter of previous generations which it recycles into simpler compounds that sustain other beings. This metaphor informs the evolution of CREATION. Poets, musicians, dancers, filmmakers, an oracle, a costumier, animators and friends worked through the pandemic to make this speculative, ridiculous, utterly serious work.

Hold holy, and rise.

THESE are the words of Deborah Kelly that summon us towards her new religion, embodied in her current exhibition Creation at Lismore Regional Gallery.

Creation is fun, bold and adventurous. It is pertinent. Kelly’s new religion follows the ancient wisdoms of the moon, the planets, the seasons and the natural cycles of life. It welcomes everyone, excludes no one. It responds to the natural human desire to belong, to share beliefs, to embrace rituals. It beckons us forward.

Creation’s imagery draws on ritualist entities, that are of and from the earth. They are Bacteria, Moon, Infinity, Spider, Vulture, Snake, Rat, Fungus.

The exhibition opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art as part of the National and after showing in Lismore, it moves to Griffith University Art Museum in Brisbane in February 2022. By design, this is a work in progress, growing in form and meaning as it accrues complexity and takes on new followers.

In Lismore, eight people

have been photographed in costumes inspired by the entities of the new religion (previously noted). They are local luminaries spanning age groups, beliefs, race, sexualities and abilities, representing the diversity that makes Lismore.

Lismore also has the honour of being the first venue to show the epic large-scale animated collage For Creation.

Visitors to the gallery can learn the gestures, dance and song of Creation through instructional videos.

This show is a must-see.

Beautiful and expansive.

And you never know where it could take you to.

Bluesfest headliners

The Cat Empire

IN THE first of a series of announcements featuring artists playing Thursday, April 14, Bluesfest would like to start by proudly revealing its standout headliner for their Opening Night at Bluesfest 2022.

Festival Director Peter Noble OAM announced Bluesfest was going to be a magnificent celebration when The Cat Empire play their final ever show Easter Thursday at Bluesfest after 20 years, including an incredible 16 performances at Bluesfest in that time.

“We always believed they would be a major

Caravãna Sun and Tijuana Cartel

band, everywhere, when we first saw them play at the Prince Bandroom, St Kilda, all those years ago, and booked them as a result,” he said.

“Now they are known and loved all over the world.

“It will be interesting to see what everyone from the original lineup does in future.

“Felix and Ollie have advised they will be launching The Cat Empire II soon … can’t wait, but meantime …

we get to say ‘Goodbye, Goodbye’ before we say ‘Hello, Hello’ again.”

With Caravãna Sun and Tijuana Cartel both performing on the main stage immediately before them, it’s going to be a truly memorable

occasion.

“Thursday, 14th of April at Bluesfest 2022 is set to be bigger and better than any Opening Night we’ve had before, which will feature a number of very special performances which

will only happen that evening,” Mr Noble said.

“So, it’s certainly not to be missed.

“Bluesfest 2022 promises to give us all the well-deserved live music treat we need after the last few years without a Bluesfest.”

For those who already have tickets to other days of the event, Bluesfest have made Thursday add-on tickets available.

For everyone else, fiveday season, three-day, and single-day tickets are all on sale now.

Vivid exhibition a Done deal TWEED Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre presents Ken Done: Up to 80.

The exhibit runs from Thursday, November 11 to Sunday, November 14, 10am to 5pm, and Wednesday, November 17, 10am to 5pm.

Since his first solo exhibition in 1980, Ken Done has become one of Australia’s most renowned artists.

His work has been described as ‘the most original style to come out of Australia’, and his paintings are in collections throughout the world.

Done has held more

than 100 solo shows, including major exhibitions in Australia, Europe, Japan and the USA. His works have been shown in the Archibald, Sulman, Wynne, Blake and Dobell Prizes.

In 1992, Done received the Order of Australia (AM) for services to Art, Design and Tourism.

In many parts of the world, Ken Done has come to symbolise Australia and Australians – creative, optimistic and bold.

The Ken Done Gallery and Tweed Regional Gallery present a new and vivid exhibition of

mostly unseen works.

It represents many of the artist’s favourite and best-loved subjects – the beach, the reef and portraiture, as well as his own personal environment – his garden and cabin studio in Sydney.

A selection of works from the new publication Ken Done: Art Design Life will also be shown.

TOYOTA HIACE VAN TAKES ON ADDED ATTRACTIONS

By DEREK OGDEN If it ain’t broke don’t fix it: this could well be the case with the HiAce, Toyota’s iconic van, which the company stuck with for 15 years without replacing. The light commercial was around until a 2019 rebirth, now it becomes the subject of a range of upgrades.

The HiAce van, and related Commuter bus and Granvia wagon, have been boosted with added technology and comfort and convenience features while offering a streamlined choice for customers.

Long the leader in the 2.5 to 3.5 tonne van segment with sales this year increasing by 51.9 per cent, customer preference for diesel power, has led to the 3.5-litre petrol V6 for HiAce being discontinued in favour of Toyota’s tough 2.8-litre turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, mated with an automatic transmission.

New safety and security technology come with the fitment of Toyota Connected Services to all models. Inside, all benefit from upgraded features, with Granvia incorporating a higher level of luxury with rear privacy glass and carpeted front floor mats now standard.

For HiAce, a large centre console box has been added to store paperwork while Commuter GL grades gain an LED lamp inside the box to aid vision, as well as upgraded USB charging ports.

The added features adopted for HiAce come with price increases of just $990 across the range, while upgraded Granvia prices rise by less than two per cent.

Both HiAce and Granvia are covered by the five-year Toyota Warranty Advantage and seven-year Toyota Warranty Advantage Extended Engine and Driveline. On test was the HiAce GL long wheelbase automatic van, selling for $47,230, plus on-road costs.

STYLING The bonnet-forward design has enabled the engine to be ahead of the front axle and seats compared with the previous model where the engine sat under the front seats directly above the axle. It also provides easier access to the engine bay, improved safety and

SUMMARY While the HiAce relied for many years on its solid reputation to lead the field, Toyota has been quick to add fine touches to the latest generation of the iconic van in a bid to stave off any challenges from close rivals.

AT A GLANCE

greater stability and ride comfort.

The wide track gives the vehicle a planted stance, while the solid sides of the front bumper have been rounded off at the grille to improve working in tight CBD spaces.

Aerodynamics are enhanced by a raked windscreen and side mouldings, chamfered rear corners and five stabilising fins on the side of the rear lamps.

French Vanilla is now the only paint choice.

INTERIOR Lack of a dedicated space for clipboard storage is a drawback, a centre console storage box as standard, replacing the existing console tray. Included in the new storage box is a removable in-box tray, an A4-sized binder rack, and a moveable partition at the rear of the box that can be used as a cupholder.

Other range-wide standard equipment additions include front all-weather floor mats, 1.5-litre bottle holder and storage bin in each front door, with cup holders in the centre and on either side of the dashboard.

There’s also a glovebox and spot to the left of the gearshift for small stuff.

INFOTAINMENT The multimedia system – Toyota’s latest - can be controlled via steeringwheel controls or the touchscreen that now offers pinch, swipe and flick gesture operation.

The latter also incorporates AM / FM / DAB+ radio, USB and Aux inputs, full Bluetooth connectivity, satellite navigation with SUNA live traffic alerts, voice recognition, and Toyota Link apps

No standing still for Toyota’s iconic HiAce van

including weather, fuel finder and travel times.

HiAces will also come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Other new applications include Siri eyes-free mode for iPhones and Miracast, which allows compatible smartphone screens to be duplicated onto the touchscreen.

Delivering high quality audio are two frontmounted speakers.

ENGINES / TRANSMISSIONS All versions of the HiAce and Granvia are powered

by Toyota’s 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, mated to an automatic transmission, with a six-speed manual gearbox also offered on HiAce LWB van.

The turbodiesel engine develops 130 kW and 450 Nm when teamed with the six-speed automatic, however with the manual gearbox maximum torque is 420 Nm. In the HiAce Commuter, the turbodiesel engine produces maximum outputs of 120 kW of power and 420 Nm of torque.

SAFETY The addition of Toyota Connected Services

automatically generates an emergency call to Toyota’s around-theclock emergency call centre and relay the location of the vehicle in the event of a collision that requires intervention, or if an airbag goes off.

Occupants can also manually trigger an emergency call to the call centre via an SOS button, allowing the determination of the vehicle’s location and co-ordination with emergency services.

If the vehicle is reported stolen, Toyota Connected Services can help track the vehicle’s location through the stolen vehicle tracking service.

DRIVING The tried-and-tested diesel powerplant is muted and there’s little wind noise, leaving road rumble to intrude into the cabin. Adding loads to the cavernous cargo area puts paid to much of this unwanted driving accompaniment.

There was not much to argue with Toyota’s combined urban / highway fuel consumption figure of 8.2 litres per 100 kilometres, with the test vehicle recording 9.7 litres per 100 kilometres

under city delivery duties and 6.0 litres per 100 kilometres on a highway run.

The stop / start system is one of the best encountered in any vehicle, with instantaneous fire-up from rest. For the automotive equivalent of ‘anti-vaxxers’ it can be switched off.

Driver and passenger seats are shapely, with thick cushioning for comfort and support.

They are finished in quality, durable fabric.

The driver’s seat offers six-way adjustment for height, slide and recline.

Payload is up to 1095 kg, while the van is rated to tow a 1500 kg braked trailer. With 1268 mm between the rear wheel arches, there’s room for two standard Aussie pallets. Total load volume is 6.2 cubic metres.

Loading through wide side doors was easy thanks to their easy slide functioning. The vertical lift tailgate – no barn doors offered - is no friend to the forklift but is a handy shelter while manual loading in wet weather.

Ride and handling on test improved with load, as you would expect from a goods hauler with rear-wheel drive. Inclines offered little limit to performance and filtering into motorway traffic presented no whiteknuckle stress.

Extensive glassed areas all round and large exterior mirrors were complemented by a single window in the left side door, giving the driver confidence in overtaking, or pulling out from the kerb. A reversing camera was especially welcome in tight parking manoeuvres.

NEXT-GENERATION RANGE ROVER: FULL DETAILS

By EWAN KENNEDY

Very slick shape of the new Range Rover is brilliant.

SV variant.

The Autobiography will also be available in long-wheelbase format, with the Autobiography LWB available as a seven-seater – a first for the Range Rover model.

The range begins with the Range Rover SE, which is available with either petrol (P400) or diesel (D300) power. Both of these engines come from Jaguar Land Rover’s Ingenium family, with turbocharging, 3.0 litres

capacity across six inline cylinders, and 48-volt mild hybridisation.

The P400 powertrain makes 294kW and 550Nm, while the diesel D300 makes 221kW and 650Nm, as used in the Defender, Discovery and Range Rover Sport.

Higher grades can have a 258kW/700Nm ‘D350’ diesel powertrain, as well as a new 390kW/750Nm 4.4-litre twin-turbopetrol V8 in the P530.

This replaces the 5.0-litre supercharged V8.

Plug-in hybrid Range Rover P510e and SV grades will arrive in Australia in the second half of 2022.

Like all previous generations, the 2022 Range Rover will be capable off road. It will have up to 295mm of ground clearance and 510mm of articulation through air suspension and Terrain Response 2 off-road traction control system.

The air suspension is joined by 48-volt active

The next generation of the Range Rover has been officially revealed. It won’t arrive in Australia until the middle of 2022 but extensive details have been provided.

It sits on a new modular platform called ‘MLA Flex’ for the Jaguar and Land Rover brands, and includes a variety of new and carryover powertrains.

New Range Rover’s structure is constructed from 80 per cent aluminium, along with high- and ultra hightensile steel in certain areas for additional strength and rigidity.

The rear of the Range Rover debuts new ‘hidden-until-lit’ LED tail-lights, something Land Rover is calling a ‘world first’.

It will initially be launched with a choice of four variants: SE, HSE, Autobiography and First Edition, and four powertrains to choose from, along with a highend and more bespoke

MOTORING REVIEW 57

HYUNDAI SONATA N LINE the right noises and has all the right moves.

It will be a shame if this car does not get the attention it deserves, primarily because of the name and associated baggage.

Say Sonata to someone and it conjures images of a boring, four-door econobox. Quite frankly, they should have ditched the name to make the transformation complete.

By CHRIS RILEY The Hyundai Sonata dates all the way back to 1989 in Australia.

Now in its eighth generation, it started life as a medium-sized four door sedan that offered family-friendly motoring for a budget $19,990.

More than 30 years later, the latest Sonata N Line, launched in December last year, has undergone a transformation -- to emerge as a highly desirable turbocharged sports machine.

There’s just the one fully equipped model priced from $50,990 plus on-roads (for a white one). At the moment you can grab one for $55,654 driveaway, which includes metallic paint, normally a $595 extra.

STYLING With the latest model Sonata N has adopted the low-slung lines of a coupe, sitting low and wide with aggressively sculpted curves.

The wide, droopy face with its bold cascading glossy black grille evokes classic Italian sports cars of yesteryear.

At the rear, an LED strip across the boot ties the LED tail lights together to create a sense of width and striking night-time appearance, with twin tailpipes integrated into each side of a diffuserstyle lower treatment.

A Sports body kit, LED headlights, DRLs and tail lights, and 19-inch alloys wrapped in 245/40 Continentals complete the picture.

There’s four colour choices; White Cream, Hampton Grey, Flame Red and Midnight Black, and only white is free.

One small annoyance is the lack of an exterior boot release.

INTERIOR Inside the cabin is trimmed in an upmarket combination of suede and black Nappa leather, with decorative N Line badging.

The dash incorporates a free-standing 10.25-

inch touchscreen and separate 12.3-inch configurable LCD hi-res colour instrument binnacle.

Creature comforts include heated and ventilated, poweradjustable front seats, heated outer rear seats, dual-zone climate control air conditioning and a panoramic glass sunroof.

Profiles store multiple driver preferences, for settings such as seat and side mirror positions, HUD and driving mode settings, navigation history, and active Bluetooth device and radio station settings.

Other nice touches include auto high beam, adaptive cruise control, wireless smartphone charging, Head-Up Display plus front and rear park sensors, with Surround View Monitor with Rear View Monitor and Parking Guidance.

Although upmarket, the cabin is a bit monotone and glare makes some controls hard to see.

The driver’s door handle is easy to fumble, while the handbrake switch is buried down and to the right of the wheel.

The head-up display is almost invisible with polarised sunglasses.

INFOTAINMENT A 12-speaker Bose premium audio system surrounds the occupants with three speakers up front, three on each side and three in the rear.

The system features CenterPoint surround technology, which splits

Hyundai has reinvented the Sonata as a turbocharged sporty coupe. music into multiple channels, to fully immerse occupants in a surround sound

experience.

The infotainment system offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, along with satellite navigation, AM/FM and digital radio, Bluetooth audio streaming and you can use voice command for text messages.

ENGINES / TRANSMISSIONS The Smartstream 2.5-litre turbo-petrol engine delivers 213kW of power and 422Nm of torque, the latter from 1650 through to 4000 rpm. That’s more than the excellent i30 Fastback N, which is good for 206kW and 392Nm. Of course, Sonata is larger and weighs more -- but you get bragging rights.

The engine is paired with a ‘wet’ eight-speed dual-clutch transmission developed specially for N vehicles, featuring shift-by-wire, pushbutton gear selection as well as paddle shifters.

SAFETY Standard SmartSense

technologies include Forward CollisionAvoidance Assist with Junction Turning

Assist function, Driver Attention Warning and Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance-Assist systems.

It also features Rear Cross-Traffic CollisionAvoidance Assist and Lane Following Assist systems, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go. DRIVING The addition of a turbocharger, different cylinder head and revised internals contribute to significantly better performance compared to the 142kW of the standard naturally aspirated engine in the previous model.

With 422Nm of torque, N Line has stacks of low and mid-range grunt and pulls strongly all the way to redline, with fast, snappy changes from the twin clutch transmission.

It does however display a slight hesitancy when you back off, then almost immediately hit it again.

But then, you’ve got to remember that it has a

twin clutch.

With launch control, the dash from 0-100km/h takes 6.2 seconds, pretty quick for a car that was once a mum and dad special.

Drive modes include normal, sport, sport+ and custom, while shifting between modes changes the look of instruments to reflect each mode.

In addition to changing the cluster, toggling through them alters the steering weight and the speed and strategy of the transmission shifts.

With a kerb weight of 1636kg, suspension is MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear, with monotube rear dampers that deliver rapid response, making the car more agile than you might expect for the size.

To bring Sonata to a stop, engineers have added larger front and rear brake calipers and discs, 345x30mm ventilated front and 325x12mm solid discs rear.

Yes, you might have picked up on the fact that active sound means the engine note is enhanced artificially, but you know what? I don’t mind. It simply makes the driving experience more engaging and that’s what really counts.

With claimed fuel consumption of 8.1L/100km we were using 9.1litres during our test period.

SUMMING UP Is it worth it? Drive it and see what you think.

Aries Mar21 21 - Apr ARIES MAR - APR 19 20 You’re feeling rather up-tight and angry, not great for your lover or romance. Avoid on-going problems by making it known you’re willing to compromise. Otherwise, things might come to a head far sooner than you would wish. If you’re single, it’s time for you to rethink the way you flirt; your current approach is like a full on assault, rather than being seductive in any way. Although you feel stronger than usual, and easily able to confront any issues you are faced with, you feel on edge as several people challenge you and make various requests. It is advisable that you show restraint if you get involved in an argument, and don’t give in to your ability to assert yourself but aim for compromise.

Otherwise you may be forced to either retreat or make enemies. Above al, it’s important not to become too entrenched and stubborn as this can have an adverse effect on you and the people around you.

Taurus Apr - May TAURUS APR 2021 - MAY 20 21 You’re unduly thoughtless and rather competitive. This conduct doesn’t necessarily endear you to your colleagues. When engaging with clients, this attitude also won’t be successful. If you don’t control your rash conduct, people will think of you as uncooperative and not very service oriented. Therefore, stop being so pushy, you’ll only get back what you give out!

Expecting too much from people, you pressure them into accepting your point of view, over and above any ideas they put forward themselves. Such selfish ways are generally not tolerated or looked on favorably.

Try to see the positive side of suggestions others make and the proposals you receive from alternative sources. Any misunderstandings you might otherwise experience are far more easily dealt with, when you curb your impulsive behavior and this makes life far more pleasant for all.

GEMINI MAYMay 21 - JUNE Gemini 22 - 20 June 23 Don’t try to take on too much, even if you feel capable of more, there’s a particular level of involvement in other people’s affairs that’s best kept to a minimum. Always striving to prove yourself is an unnecessary waste of energy; to unwisely risk your well-being for the sake of others - a mistake.

Do yourself a favor, stop plying your own ideas and point of view to the exclusion of others. Show some modesty and keep your temper if you want to retain your composure and the majority of your friends. Life is constantly throwing new challenges your way. It seems as if you have to prove yourself again and again.

Tasks that lay ahead can’t easily be handled by your normal routine. The extra effort required is tedious and stressful, which is one reason why you’ll feel rather touchy and slightly irritable. Nevertheless, keep a cool head – otherwise you’ll just make things worse.

Cancer Jun - Jul CANCER JUN 21 -24JULY 22 22 You are relaxed and calm; able to master even the most difficult tasks successfully. Don’t hold yourself back with routine tasks, but turn to more demanding projects straightaway. Your work colleagues will appreciate you more because of your competence and self-assurance. If you’re applying for a promotion or a new position, you’ll be able to use this appeal to your advantage. You have complete faith in your ability to complete any task you undertake. With determination that fully demonstrates the strength of purpose you possess, you’re able to develop inventive and practical ideas for solving problems that mean others notice you. Your competence and decisiveness prove to be beneficial in your work. People listen to your advice and admire (probably secretly) your abilities. Your charm attracts admirers, new friends and possibilities to strengthen romantic ties.

Leo Jul2323- AUG - Aug LEO JUL 22 23 Your noticeably fearless approach impresses, you have the stamina to tackle any task. Unafraid you take on more commitments even though you’ve enough to do already.

You approach things in a rather unstructured way and try to get too many things done at once. Make sure you don’t waste time on irrelevant details or lose your temper in the process. Be willing to make compromises in your relationship; if you don’t you may be in for a lot of arguments. Pay attention to the signals your body sends you. You’re really motivated; with so much energy you must direct it towards a positive goal. You’ll be surprised how much you achieve. But take care not to get involved in any contentious issues with colleagues. You’re not particularly good with anyone who objects to your methods; you’re easily wound up. If you’re behaving this way, you need to practice some self-control.

Virgo Aug2324 - Sep VIRGO AUG - SEP 22 22 Because you’re content with your current achievements, right now is a great time to show what else you’re capable of. Make use of your confidence and demand more responsibilities! If you receive the extra tasks you ask for, don’t forget; at some point circumstances can alter and be modified. Be sure to approach your new found tasks with precision and not in haste. Your increased self-confidence helps you to establish important ties with influential and good-natured individuals.

What you have to say endears others to your way of thinking and encourages them to support you in your endeavors. In both your professional and private life your company is sought after and appreciated. As a guest you are likely to cause quite a stir with your encouraging and level headed approach to life. All who have the pleasure of meeting discover you are stimulating company.

LIBRA SEP - OCT 22 23 Libra Sep2323 - Oct Your dynamic methods significantly help promote any project you undertake. The level of efficiency and thoughtfulness you display enhances your position in the workplace and enables you to satisfactorily deal diplomatically with any ongoing disputes. Make the most of the confidence you command by showing some consideration for your friends and those you care about most, let them know how you appreciate what they do for you and how important their support they provide is. Don’t be too concerned if you seem a little more keyed up than usual, you’re prepared for all eventualities and at last are able to deal with those projects that you’ve been putting off for some considerable time. Make use of your enthusiasm and try to work if you can in a team.

Don’t be afraid to be the team leader! You’ve the necessary ‘know-how’ required to do so.

Scorpio Oct2324- NOV - Nov SCORPIO OCT 21 20 You are full of vitality. Your physical stamina and your ability to assert yourself plus your zest for life are at a high level. You feel like proving yourself to be right all the time and should really look for other ways to let off steam to avoid antagonizing the people close to you. Take on a project that demands your attention and commitment.

Consider exercising more, preferably in endurance sports to relieve any stress and avoid running totally on adrenalin every time you’re in conflict with someone else. Each task you undertake quickly becomes a success, offering an opportunity for you to show what you’re capable of. Stay focused; don’t be distracted by colleagues who may be envious. If you want to achieve something now, concentrate on what’s important to you. It’s best that you avoid any uncooperative individuals who are intent on making themselves a nuisance.

SagittariusNOV Nov SAGITTARIUS 22 -22 DEC- 21Dec 21 You competently master your responsibilities and bring rationality as well as creativity to the table. This obviously noticed by your colleagues and makes you a well-liked team member. You should utilize this momentum to move projects forward that are important to you. It’s easy to elicit enthusiasm for your ideas from your colleagues and superiors, so go for it! Healthy self-confidence and high physical stamina make it likely that you experience a very productive period. It’s important for you to let others know your plans and make it clear you’re willing to show the necessary degree of compromise that insures everyone is satisfied. People you’re acquainted with and those others you’re much closer to, find your ideas and suggestions stimulating and you can expect to find they’re willing to share in your new found zest for life and optimism for the future.

Capricorn CAPRICORN DECDec 22 - 22 JAN-19Jan 20 All aspects of the experience you have previously accumulated are brought to bear and help you deal confidently with most situations as and when they arise. You’re satisfied with yourself and the effort you’re able to make towards stabilizing your circumstances and prospects for the future. It’s appropriate to seek improvements in your business, social and romantic life, whatever you dare to tackle leads to favorable responses from others, who are likely to approve of your suggestions and opinions. You can easily convince others of your point of view. You have creative ideas and prove you’ve got talent, especially when negotiating. Don’t hesitate to show others what you’re capable of and make use of your continuous success. It’s likely you’ll encounter those who will be envious of you. Be aware that there may well be others, who try to take the credit for your success.

AQUARIUS janJan 20 - 21 feb-18Feb 19 Aquarius With such a high level of energy you easily make unfounded accusations and jump to wrong conclusions.

Try to calm down and stop being so irritable, it only serves to cause confusion amongst those you work with. If possible, over the next few days, concentrate on tasks where you can work alone. If that’s not possible, refrain from coffee and other stimulants. Stay calm! Make a point of conserving your energy. You’re unnecessarily prone to squander any reserves you possess with stubborn and bad tempered behavior and get yourself worked about nothing. Pause to think and reconsider what’s really important to you and what is not! It’s possible that deliberate confrontation at work or in your private life is justified but careful consideration of the situation is important. You discover that sometimes taking a step back is necessary to further advance your point of view.

PiscesFEB Feb PISCES 19 -20MAR- Mar 20 21 Although you feel confident and ready to make improvements both at work as well as on the home front in ways you have not attempted before. It’s easy for you to lose control and become embroiled in arguments which can cause problems that dent your pride. The maxim to follow is; to think twice before you act and proceed one step at a time with extra caution. Don’t let yourself be so easily provoked, consider situations sensibly before you finally make a decision about the most effective way to proceed. You’re driven by your ambition and unfortunately this can make you oblivious to how your colleagues might feel. Take a long hard look at the way you conduct yourself. You better come off your high horse before you find yourself being pushed off by others. You should meet looks of incredulity from others with a sincere demand for feedback, not with self-assured arrogance.

GRAFTON VIEW CELEBRATES 54TH BIRTHDAY The Grafton District Services Club was transformed into the spirit of the “Roaring Twenties” at the VIEW Club’s 54th Birthday celebration.

The room was filled with fashionable “flappers”, and in place of the 1920’s Jazz Singers, VIEW was very fortunate to have Bill Kearns reciting his hilarious bush poetry. Everyone needs a good old laugh! Elizabeth Birch, the VIEW National Counsellor, was warmly welcomed and she presented three members, Pauline Delaforce, Joy Ford and Vicki Evans, with their badges.

The beautifully decorated birthday cake was then cut by Elizabeth, Pauline and Joy, and shared around the decorated Jacaranda tables. There were many Tombolas, and Lucky Door Prizes distributed to gleeful winners, after which Norma Melino thanked Elizabeth Birch with a gorgeous floral arrangement. The next meeting at the Grafton District Services Club will be at 10.30am on Tuesday, 23rd November.

By coming along, you will meet new friends, renew the old ones, and your participation will ultimately support a child’s education, and break the cycle of disadvantage. Please phone Vorna no later than the Friday before the meeting. This is for catering purposes.

Contact is 66424719. See you there!

KYOGLE COUNTRY MUSIC Next music day will be held on Sunday 14th November from 11am at Kyogle Golf Club. All drinks and lunch available at club on the day. $2 donation at the door appreciated. As per NSW Health guidelines all attendees must be double vaccinated and observe Covid regulations.

MATILDAS AIM FOR RECORD CROWD AGAINST WORLD CHAMPIONS USA

Sydney and NSW’s status as the nation’s home of football is poised to reach new heights when the Matildas line up for a blockbuster two-match home series against world number one, the United States.

On Saturday, 27 November, Sydney’s Stadium Australia will host the USA on Australian soil for the first time in 21 years, with the return matchup scheduled for McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle on Tuesday, 30 November.

Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney and Minister for Trade and Industry Stuart Ayres said a Matildas attendance record in Australia was an exciting prospect.

“NSW has led the return of international sport with two great unbeaten performances by the Matildas against Brazil. More than ever, Sydney’s sports fans will now no doubt be eager to set a new attendance record for one of our

nation’s most loved teams against the world’s best at a world-class venue like Stadium Australia,” Mr Ayres said.

“Through our tourism and major events agency Destination NSW, the NSW Government is focused on investing in world-class events like this to deliver on our goal of becoming the

premier visitor economy of the Asia Pacific.

“I am delighted Newcastle will also host the first major event in regional NSW following the swift progress of the COVID-19 reopening roadmap. Novocastrians are renowned sports fans, and these events are vital to our regions’ social and economic recovery.”

Minister for Sport Natalie Ward said NSW was delighted to host the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019 Champions.

“NSW is undoubtedly the jewel in Australia’s sporting crown, and we are especially thrilled to be showcasing elite women’s competition in Sydney and Newcastle,” Mrs Ward said.

“Fans can look forward

to another exciting series between two of the best teams in women’s football and I can’t wait to see our women take on the USA in a taste of what’s to come with the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023.”

Football Australia CEO James Johnson said the ongoing partnership with the NSW Government has been a real boost

for the nation’s sportsstarved fans.

“We once again thank the NSW Government for collaborating with us to continue to bring our national teams home to play in front of Australian fans. We also welcome American fans in Australia to celebrate with us during their Thanksgiving week celebrations. What better way to celebrate, than going to cheer on their national team!” Mr Johnson said.

Australia and USA have enjoyed a recent healthy rivalry, including a Bronze Medal match at the Tokyo Olympics, and with stadium capacity restrictions due to be lifted from 8 November the previous record of 33,000 for a Matildas match in Australia – set against Sweden at the 2000 Sydney Olympics – is under threat.

Tickets for the games go on sale to the public from 9 November through Ticketek (Sydney) and Ticketmaster (Newcastle).

Olympians and Paralympians helping kids to be mentally fit Our Australian athletes overcame unprecedented challenges to succeed at the Tokyo Games, now 20 athletes from 16 sports will help children with their own mental health and resilience strategies as part of a national program between the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and the Black Dog Institute.

Designed to help young people aged between 12 and 16, the AIS Black Dog Mental Fitness Program will be delivered by current and former high performance athletes in schools and community sport organisations around the country.

Following the success of the inaugural program launched in 2020, the new group of ambassadors includes Paralympic gold medal winning cyclist Paige Greco and Olympic silver medallist and Kookaburra Josh Beltz.

Federal Sports Minister Richard Colbeck said the Australian Government was proud to invest in AIS wellbeing and community engagement programs.

“We know the positive influence athletes can have – they inspire and motivate us,” Minister Colbeck said.

“So it’s wonderful to see these athletes spreading positive messages of mental health and resilience with schoolaged children who are dealing with the increased pressures associated with the pandemic.

“As we saw during the highly successful Tokyo 2020 Olympics and

Paralympics, Australians take great pride and inspiration from our athletes.

“I commend those leaders who are now sharing their stories and experiences through the AIS Black Dog Mental Fitness Program. You are making a difference.”

AIS Director of People

Development and Wellbeing Matti Clements says the AIS is proud to partner with the Black Dog Institute to deliver this important community outreach program.

“Not only does this program help our young people build their mental fitness and resilience, but it also provides

our high performance athletes an opportunity to meaningfully connect with their community and learn personal and professional skills that will help them during their sporting careers and beyond.”

Cyclist Paige Greco, who marked her Paralympics debut in Tokyo with three medals, including gold and a world record in the 3000m Individual Pursuit C1-3, said the Mental Fitness Program allows her to give back to her community.

“Mental health is so important. I think sometimes as athletes we place a lot of emphasis on our physical health and our wellbeing, however, understanding mental health and the impact it has on our daily life is so vital,” Greco said.

“Enforcing positive psychology strategies and understanding that it is something that should be spoken about is very important to me and it means a great deal to be able to speak to young people and share my experiences.”

Australian hockey player Josh Beltz said: “I’m very proud that I’m able to be involved

in a program that openly discusses and advocates for mental health awareness. As athletes we experience both incredible highs and devastating lows, so to use that experience and share the mental fitness program with kids is something I am very much looking forward to.”

“We are absolutely delighted to partner with the AIS to deliver the Mental Fitness Program in Australian high schools, at a city, state and national level,” said Karen Elliff, Director of Funding and Partnerships at the Black Dog Institute.

“Young people are more likely to take up mental health and wellbeing training if these programs are delivered by a person with whom they can resonate. The earlier these programs are offered, the more likely the effects will be long lasting.”

LISMORE CITY BOWLS

Dylan Schofield attend with his helper Shelley from CPC

Our Wednesday social bowls was won by Rocco (from East Lismore) and Nev Leeson. We had Dylan Schofield attend with his helper Shelley from CPC. They had their first lesson from Some of the club members. They thanked all who helped and particularly Rocco for his encouragement.

Lockdowns a thing of the past as Tennis proves winner Last weekend it was back to business for the Lismore Tennis Club, as they hosted a Northern NSW State UTR Series event at the Ballina Rd tennis courts.

The tournament was a round-robin style competition, attracting players from Tweed Heads, Coffs Harbour to the south, and even as far as Armidale.

The two-day event kicked off on Saturday morning, with 90 competitors registered for competition in either Singles, Doubles, or both. The ages of the combatants ranged from Under 10’s through to Open, with some age groups being merged into mutli-age, unisex Divisions using the popular UTR system.

UTR, or Universal Tennis Rating, is a format that assigns each player a rank based on previous competition entries and

performances. It puts aside the age of the player, creating a level playing field where aged-based competition can favour the more experienced tournament players.

A return to competition has been eagerly anticipated by all, and the enormous popularity of

this event meant On Tour Tennis required courts in nearby East Lismore and Wollongbar to ensure they could get through the draw over the two days.

Experienced player and current tennis coach Brendan Moore commented, players in the region have been

desperate to get back into competition play. In the scheme of things the format wasn’t even that important, but the chance to play in a tournament is the moment they have been waiting for so long.

The Singles draw was played on Saturday, while

Sunday was dedicated to the Doubles competition.

The feature events were the Open Division 1 pools, with prize money of $400 on offer.

Brendan Moore capped off a strong performance on Saturday, defeating Brandon Stockwell 6-0 6-2 in a hard-hitting Final

on Saturday afternoon. It was a solid weekend for Moore, dropping just 4 games on his way to the title.

It was a welcome return to Lismore for Brendan, a former student of the Lismore Tennis Club and professional circuit player, nowadays he coaches promising youngsters at his academy in Terranora.

Brendan’s “giving back” to the game doesn’t end there either - he also transported a bus-load of exciting junior talent to Lismore to participate in the tournament.

In the Doubles action on Sunday, it was Brandon’s time to shine with a win in the Open Division 1 Final with partner Ethan James Horner.

They overcame a plucky Blake Robertson/Connor Turner partnership, who advanced to the Final following a tense 3-set victory.

SURF LIFE SAVING AUSTRALIA ADAPT COOLANGATTA LONG COURSE FOR 2021 continued from back page

AFTER a cancellation in 2020, Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) is pulling out all stops to ensure the 2021 Coolangatta Gold will go ahead as scheduled on November 14.

The iconic race, one of the marquee events on the SLSA surf sports calendar, is the toughest endurance race on the calendar, traditionally battled out over the length of the Gold Coast.

With the uncertainty of Covid-19 restrictions

still in place for the Queensland border, SLSA is taking steps to ensure the event will go ahead for those who are able to travel to Coolangatta and putting in additional steps for the event delivery.

Among the biggest changes will be that to the course, which normally stretches the length of the Gold Coast with numerous transition points along the way. But with the number of volunteers, officials, and water safety from southern

States uncertain, SLSA has changed the format so that Coolangatta becomes the only transition point for the race.

SLSA Sport Manager, Wayne Druery, said the changes wouldn’t impact the integrity of the event but rather adapt it to ensure it can be delivered.

“While we are uncertain on when borders will reopen in Queensland, we are working to deliver the 2021 Coolangatta Gold and that means thinking

differently about how we do this,” he said.

“The Coolangatta Gold not only attracts competitors from across the country, but also relies on volunteers, officials and water safety personnel from other States, meaning we need to cater for a reduced workforce.

“By having the only event transition point at Coolangatta, we will be able to reduce the event’s logistical footprint along the Gold Coast while still providing a wonderful sporting

spectacle for fans on the beach. A free sporting event for the whole family.

“Our hope is that anyone who wants to take part in the Coolangatta Gold will be able to attend, but in these uncertain times we need to forge ahead to give those who are able to take part the opportunity to race.

“We have more national events coming up over summer that we will have announcements for in the coming weeks.

For now, all eyes are

on Coolangatta as the Gold returns in 2021 with many of our recent champions set to line up.”

There are no changes or adaptations to the other categories of the Coolangatta Gold event, with the short course and youth challenge taking place on Saturday, November 13.

Cricket is easing back into the sporting calendar of the Clarence Valley with midweek games under lights and a December 4 resumption of Saturday afternoon games.

Clarence River Cricket Association president Bruce Baxter said the draw was out and everything was set for a December 4 start.

“We could have started a bit earlier but not all the teams were ready,” he said.

“We had some difficulties with vaccination-resistant players, but those issues have been sorted.”

As in recent times the CRCA first grade competition will field six teams, with four clubs fielding first grade teams.

Baxter said Premiers Tucabia Copmanhurst and grand finalists Brothers again look the strong sides, but said Easts Westlawn and South Services had recruited well.

“Souths have lured Brendan Cleaver back to the fold so they will have the three Cleaver brothers, playing together,” said Baxter, who is also the president of the South Services Cricket Club.

“The club is really lucky, because a fourth Cleaver, mum Karen, is the club secretary and first grade scorer.”

He said the Cleavers Mechanical Night Competition T20 competition played on Monday and Wednesday nights, had resulted in McKittrick Park, in South Grafton, to be quarantined for night cricket.

Baxter said the ground, the only one with suitable lights for night cricket, would host two games a week most

weeks.

“Because of that we left it out of Saturday cricket and shared the games between Ellem Oval, Ulmarra Showground and Lower Fisher 1,” he said.

Baxter said the night competition, which played its first game on November 3, had attracted nine teams including three from outside the Grafton area.

“We’ve got a team from Woolgoolga, one from Lawrence and Harwood playing for the first time this season,” he said.

“We decided it would be a good thing for local cricket to allow them to play in the competition.

“It’s also the first time we’ve been able to test the new lights’ suitability for night cricket.”

He said night competition games would be played on Monday and Wednesday nights.

“We got a game in last week between Brothers and Harwood and there was a game on Monday,” Baxter said.

Harwood knocked over Brothers in a see-sawing game in the season opener.

Batting first they were in trouble at 6-43, but a couple of later partnerships got them to 128.

Brothers began the chase confidently, losing their first wicket at 54. Wicket began to fall more regularly but at 5/103, were in a good position.

Instead the tail crumbled losing 4/4 and finishing their 20 overs at 9/116.

Baxter said representative cricket might be difficult this season as the North Coast Premier League had reneged on its last season arrangement to play the Grafton team on the bye week in its competition.

“There were five teams in the premier league and when one had the bye they would play our rep team on the Sunday,” Baxter said.

“But this year they’ve said the players are not keen to play Sunday cricket so that game won’t be happening.

Baxter said the association is looking out for other options to give players wanting to play representative cricket some games.

“We’re looking at a few options and maybe we’ll have some good news later,” he said.

“It’s a shame because the team that played last year was looking forward to playing.”

Baxter said Grafton players were still not keen to field a team in the Mid North Coast Premier League, because of the amount of travel required.

“The thought of playing 80 overs of cricket at Macksville and then driving back to Grafton is a concern,” Baxter said.

“They think we’ve got six teams in Grafton and a four-team comp in first grade, that’s good enough for us.”

He said this attitude was polarising players attitudes with some content to play locally, while others wanted to push themselves to play “the best of the best”.

“It will be interesting to see which one prevails,” he said. “My guess is eventually Grafton will have a premier league team.”

The CRCA first grade draw is out. McKittrick Park won’t be used for Saturday cricket this year.

Instead it will host two night games most weeks on Mondays and Wednesdays.
