Locally owned by Ben & Emma Little Servicing The Tweed Valley and Surrounds All enquiries welcome

Tweed Heads’ sites picked out for affordable housing AN AFFORDABLE housing project for Tweed Heads will be proposed at this Thursday’s Tweed Shire Council meeting. State-owned sites such as the current Tweed Hospital site and the unused Tweed Heads Police station will be included in the business case. Tweed Mayor Chris Cherry will propose that council funds a business case for the project based on a state or federally funded development using the Housing First “Common Ground” model in Brisbane. “I have put this notice of motion forward as it is painfully evident to everyone here, and increasingly to the state and federal governments, that we have a very serious housing crisis in our region,” she said. “People always say that supply is the answer, but allowing people to build more and more four-bedroom Mcmansions in Kingscliff and Salt is not going to solve the crisis for our key workers, such as baristas, shop assistants or tradies. “We need affordable and available accommodation that is fit for purpose if our children are going to be able to afford to live here.” Cr Cherry said council had been gathering information about social housing models, visiting many facilities and looking at the outcomes. “The Common Ground model, which encourages community interaction through safe shared spaces, community gardens, and provides wrap-around services for

residents, is one we would like to pursue for Tweed Heads,” she said. “It is based on the Housing First principle, whereby it has been demonstrated that, when you give people a safe place to live with easy access to services, employment, education and mental health improvements will follow. “This model has quite high density, so around 130 one-bedroom units in a building so needs to be located in Tweed Heads, where that type of density is allowed. “The beauty of this model is that it has been proven, that even with the subsidy that government provides to keep the accommodation affordable, it is still much cheaper than providing all the wraparound services that are needed for the same 130 people if they were forced to live on the street or in substandard housing. “I know that council has no legal responsibility to provide social housing, but we have a role in facilitating it, and I think it would be money well spent for us to get the business case done, to be able to take to the state and federal governments so that they can invest in our region in a way that will help make our community stronger.” According to the 2021 Australian Bureau of Statistics Census data mentioned in the council’s background report, the Tweed Shire had 529 homeless people in 2021. “More than one-third of these residents were living in makeshift shelters, tents or on the open street. “Council declared a housing emergency

in 2021 due to the lack of affordable and attainable housing in the Tweed, and since then we have had 500 homes rendered unliveable by the 2022 floods and a significant domestic inward migration to our region as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the report said. “In the Department of Communities and Justice street count of rough sleepers in 2023, the Tweed Shire had the third highest number of people living on the street of all councils in NSW. “Being a border region, there has historically been a deficit in the provision of social housing in the Tweed Shire with a current provision of 2.6%, well below the state average of 4%. “This has left the housing emergency in our shire at crisis point.” Housing First has been adopted internationally as best practice for providing sustainable housing for people who have experienced longterm or recurring homelessness. Council management say the Tweed’s worsening housing situation has unfolded over more than a decade, fuelled in part by escalating house prices and tightening supply on the back of strong investment economy. Short-term rental accommodation has also made the issue worse by incentivising the use of housing for a commercial purpose. Five Australian States and one Territory now have at least one Common Ground development. Another is planned on the Gold Coast.

CONGRATULATIONS MEG HOUGHTON You have won a single pass* to the film of your choice

related family for nine months, and had a van with another couple in our yard for 18 months. We have another person who could not find accommodation who was here for two years. Not the most comfortable option, and no it is not a money-making exercise. Meg Houghton, Kingscliff

Who is in charge?

*Redeemable for 1 month from publication date

Habitat removal

In response to the letter from Warren Powell (TVW, October 19). Firstly, let me preface this by saying I am not a developer nor am I related in any way to one. Please remember that in all probability you live in what was once a development. People need to live somewhere, I’m not sure if you are suggesting they move elsewhere or that they have no home. There is a housing crisis here, what do you suggest is done about it? The attitude that ‘now I live here it can’t be changed’ is becoming very prevalent and yet when you, or your ancestors, moved here, that involved change and subsequent ‘destruction’ of habitat. The only way to stop development is to stop the population growing. Not sure how to achieve this and if we do then we also have to accept the economy will be unlikely to grow. Maybe we need a more sustainable economic model? What was burning was not “developed” land. The problem is, considering the amount of invasive species, that all` land needs to be managed. The Indigenous community used to do this but without the invasive species. It seems to me that neither National Parks, nor State Forest, nor councils are successfully managing land. If you want more “conservation”, the management of said areas needs to be properly funded. If not managed, the increased fuel load leads to the fires you talk about being more intense and therefore more destructive to the animals and plants you are trying to conserve. There are no simplistic answers, but folk have to live somewhere. Perhaps the author can house share and give at least one other person somewhere to live. After the 2017 floods we shared a house with an un-

My usual subject involves weeds but no, they already have control of the rural areas. What about the troubles we all face? Our young people are very different from us baby boomers; we were always busy, we had commitments to our family, wash up, clean your room, etc. Now who is in charge? The parent or the child? The breakdown of the family unit has produced an often unruly child who becomes an unruly adult. War in the Middle East, First Nations decision-making, cost of living—the future may appear difficult. I guess push on, do what you can to make the most of your personal issues and be stronger for it. Greg Church, Nobbys Creek

Border marker

The progress on the Captain Cook Memorial and Lighthouse redevelopment straddling the NSW-Qld state border at Point Danger is quite impressive. I have no doubt the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the finished project will befit the prominent site it occupies. I wonder if some thought should be given to an upgrade of the existing state border marker opposite Twin Towns Services Club. I understand its historical significance as a monument commemorating the Centenary of Federation, and the meaning behind the structure’s art and design. But does it still do justice to its important location and purpose as the symbolic portal between two states? Some may argue that the marker is somewhat eclipsed by the surrounding architectural styles, and that the unadorned, monochrome concrete panels have become dated and uninspiring. The industrial-look element may have been considered a suitable contemporary medium when the border marker was constructed 22 years ago, but has its appeal really endured artistically? The structure’s current height is adequate, but perhaps the overall appearance could be enhanced without structural alterations (and at reasonable cost) by some minor

cosmetic adjustments. In consultation with the originally commissioned artist and relevant authorities, tastefully executed colonial, locally significant and indigenous artwork could be applied to the concrete surfaces above the existing inscriptions and plaques. A potentially defining feature could be a flagpole near each corner of the existing structure, with the state flags of Queensland and NSW on their respective sides, as well as our national and Indigenous flags. As an alternative to the Indigenous flag, perhaps the Australian South Sea Islander flag could be displayed to acknowledge the significant contribution of Pacific Islander workers to the region’s agricultural sector in the decades leading up to Federation? Clarry Bouchier, Tweed Heads

The Voice vote

The land area of the federal electorates that voted No to the Voice was literally more than 99.5 per cent of Australia. It was only the most expensive towns like Byron Bay, the richest pockets of cities and the wealthiest jurisdiction, ACT (in terms of household income and wealth) that voted in a Yes majority. Channel 9 reporters summarised it as the ‘streets verse the elites’. Less well-off Australians and those in ‘Middle Australia’ dislike the rich and or the elite cultural dietitians telling them what to do, what to think and how to vote. The same percentage of Australians, 61 per cent, voted for constitutional equality as those who voted for marriage equality a few years earlier. We are all equal and united. We all have an equal say through our local MP in our representative democracy. We all have an equal vote, no matter who your parents are. We just need our three layers of politicians to listen and spend our one trillion dollars of taxes wisely to close the gap and support those most in need. We as Australians can move forward as one people with a common future. Nathan Jones, Cudgen

No Vote letter requires comments

Terry Sharples (TVW, October 19) shoots the messenger by blaming Anthony Albanese for the no vote. He was just starting the dialogue as set out in the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Who else could get the ball rolling? Anyone with a bit of common sense can see that it was Trumpian tactics

muddying the water that defeated the simplest of notions: to acknowledge our First Nations people in the Constitution and set up an advisory body similar to the dozens we already have. He doesn’t even mention Dutton et al who could have made it all happen but chose to politicise it for their own ends. And Bob Hawke would be rolling in his grave with the Warren Mundine comparison. Anthony Malivanek, Bray Park

Fear and the Voice

How does one even start to unscramble an egg of misinformation and muddled ideas (letter to the editor Terry Sharples, October 18). Sadly, the disinformation, conspiracy theories and fear promoted by various No campaigners gained traction and the Voice was lost. Fear was shown to be a powerful political weapon. Dutton effectively used fear to manipulate the electorate for his own political gain. He has zero care about the toxic legacy he has created in Australia. There was an insistence that if Indigenous people gained a Voice it must be at the cost and loss to other Australians. The division Dutton accused the Yes camp of sowing was never there until he created it. It is not, and has never been, the job of the High Court to strike out legislation. That is not how our system works. Successive governments have tinkered with laws affecting Indigenous people, chopping and changing with the whim of electoral cycles. Nothing will improve to change that. Too many Australians showed themselves to be mean-spirited and greedy in their refusal to recognise the 60,000-year heritage of Indigenous people and the dispossession, disadvantage and trauma that has resulted since colonisation. Unhinged nonsense circulated about the United Nations and land rights. Pain was inflicted on Indigenous Australians. The world was watching us and we failed. We refused the modest request of Indigenous Australians. No wonder so many are in mourning. Andrew Rutherford, Cabarita

Disappointed

I am disappointed that Terry Sharples (letter October 19) has characterised the Voice referendum as a gladiatorial political contest. The referendum was a granting by our federal parliament of our First Australians’ request for meaningful constitutional

recognition and a conduit for their advice to our national leadership on how to address their economic and sociological needs in this lucky country. Our First Australians reached out to the rest of us in a spirit of reconciliation and togetherness. They had the support of our PM and Federal Government, every state Premier and Territory Chief Minister, most Australian parliamentarians, progressive Liberals, legal experts, musicians, authors, 24 former Australians of the Year and millions of other Australians. But opponents claimed there were risks and our nation said “No”. That’s democracy. Terry Sharples predicts that Warren Mundine will now enter federal politics “like a new Bob Hawke.” Bob’s daughter Sue Pieters-Hawke says Bob would have hoped Australians would approach the referendum “with integrity and a kind heart, not to play a blame game, but to redress mistakes, and to promote social cohesion, consensus, respect and opportunity for all.” If Warren and others like Jacinta Price can replicate that kind of leadership, they could really help their people. Regardless of how we voted, I hope all Australians will reach out to our First Australians and encourage our national leaders to strive in a bipartisan spirit to find another way forward. The referendum debate has helped many of us to a deeper understanding of the proud culture and traditions of these peoples who lived in harmony with this great land for thousands of years before we came. We still have much to learn from them. John Picot, Kingscliff

Hospital thanks

At a time when hospitals in other parts of the world are being bombed, where staff cannot cope with the dead and wounded, where necessity forces little children to undergo operations without anesthetic, I had the immense good fortune to be able to spend Sunday afternoon in the Emergency Department of the Murwillumbah Hospital. The treatment, professionalism and kindness were outstanding, on a long and busy afternoon for the staff. I left feeling cared for and reassured. Our town is blessed by the presence of this beacon of help and healing on the hill. Long may it stand!

Hospital helipad is go By Jo Kennett

Tweed Valley Hospital Helipad test

When the Tweed Valley Hospital opens next year, the helipad will provide additional capacity for helicopter retrievals and transfers, to support the needs of the growing region. The new hospital will offer expanded services for the Tweed Valley community, as well as new health services including interventional cardiology and radiation oncology, which will result in about 5,000 patients per year being able to receive

treatment closer to home. Some of the most critically ill or injured patients, for example those requiring specialist treatment for burns or neurological conditions, will continue to be transferred to major hospitals that provide the highest level of care.

THE FIRST helicopter test flight has been completed at the new rooftop helipad as part of the $723.3 million Tweed Valley Hospital development, with a helicopter rescue team undertaking a successful landing and take-off. The helipad testing exercise, carried out by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, is part of the operational commissioning activities being undertaken at the new hospital, which is due to open early next year. Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park says helipad testing is an important step in preparing to ensure the most critically ill patients can receive the best urgent care in a timely manner. “This will be a valuable service for patients who are critically ill or in need of specialist care,” Mr Park said. “The helipad at the new hospital has a dedicated elevator which will provide direct access from the rooftop to the emergency department and operating theatres to ensure patient transfers can take place safely and efficiently. “When I visited the site in July, I was lucky enough to see firsthand everything coming together on site and I am really impressed with the progress on what will be a state-of-the-art facility for the Tweed Valley community.” The new Tweed Valley Hospital will be a regional referral hospital and forms part of the Northern NSW Local Health District’s network of hospitals and health facilities, including Murwillumbah, Byron and Ballina hospitals. Currently, the majority of emergency transfers in the Tweed Valley region are undertaken by road.

Firefighters at work on the blaze Picture: Fire and Rescue Banora Point

Highway truck fire By Jo Kennett

A FIRE in a truck trailer brought peak hour traffic to a halt on the northbound lane of the Pacific Highway on Monday morning, October 23, but the driver escaped injury. The B-double trailer caught fire at Stotts Creek approaching the Cudgen Road tunnel, with traffic backed up for kilometres. Firefighters from Fire and Rescue NSW K ingscliff, Cudgen Rural Fire Brigade and Tweed Coast Rural Fire Brigade were called to the fire. On their way, Kingscliff firefighters requested extra Fire and Rescue NSW resources for firefighting operations including a hazmat vehicle. When they arrived on the scene the firefighters found a semi-trailer with one trailer on fire. Crews asked Tweed Police to close the freeway for the safety of firefighters and other road users. “We think a wheel bearing may have been the cause,” Cudgen RFS captain Troy

Middlebrook said. “The driver tried to extinguish it and a couple of tradies stopped to try to help. “It was in an RFS area and so we took control of the operation.” Firefighters were able to stop the fire from spreading to the cab and second trailer, according to a post from Fire and Rescue Kingscliff. The run-off of foam and water used on the fire was contained to prevent any environmental impact on a nearby cane drain. The fire was totally extinguished over an hour later and FRNSW left the scene with RFS to await a heavy vehicle tow. Traffic was diverted to Clothiers Creek Road and Tweed Valley Way but heavy vehicles were parked to wait out the reopening of one lane of the highway at around 8.30am. The tow truck arrived at 10am and the scene was closed to one lane only until 12pm when both lanes reopened, according to a Cudgen RFS firefighter at the scene.

In brief ... Wollumbin Street Bridge resurfacing works New roadworks are expected to get underway at Wollumbin Street Bridge, Murwillumbah from this weekend. Transport for NSW will begin work to resurface the bridge, which will include removing the damaged bridge deck and installing a new surface. The bridge will be temporarily closed on Sunday 29 October, between 8 am and 11 pm. A detour will be in place via Cane Road and there will be no pedestrian access. Works to apply the new bridge surface will be carried out over 4 nights, weather permitting, from Monday 30 October to Thursday 2 November. Work hours will be between 6 pm and 5 am, with single-lane alternating traffic flow arrangements. This follows works recently completed by Council crews to upgrade the sewer main which runs beneath the bridge.

Murwillumbah’s 50 metre pool to reopen

The Tyalgum Weir on the Oxley River is where Council sources water for Tyalgum. The river flow has reduced and the weir pool has dropped to the level that triggers Level 2 water restrictions for the village.

Level 2 water restrictions for Tyalgum Level 2 water restrictions will come into force for Tyalgum at 11:59 pm on Thursday 26 October 2023. Water and Wastewater Business and Assets Manager Michael Wraight urged Tyalgum residents, businesses and visitors to save water now and meet Level 2’s water use target of just 140 litres a day per person to prolong the village’s water supply. “Tyalgum’s drinking water is sourced from the weir pool on the upper Oxley River. The river is down to a trickle and the amount of water in the weir pool is dropping fast,” Mr Wraight said. “We ask the Tyalgum community to please save water, now.” Council is working with the Tyalgum Post Office to distribute information to residents and businesses summing up what they can and cannot do under Level 2 restrictions. Go to tweed.nsw.gov.au/water-restrictions-everyone for the full list. The restrictions also apply to Tyalgum businesses such as short-term rental providers. For details, go to tweed.nsw.gov.au/business-water-restrictions Council can impose fines of up to $2,200 for people

who breach water restrictions. You can report a breach by calling 02 6670 2400. With El Niño declared for Australia’s East Coast, Mr Wraight said the rest of the Tweed might head into water restrictions in the coming months unless there was significant rain. “It’s important that everyone who lives, works or visits the Tweed works together to save water now,” he said. “Each of us will save 18 litres by cutting our daily shower by 2 minutes. “If we put away our hoses and clean our hard outdoor surfaces with a broom instead, we each save a massive 20 litres a minute. Only using your toilet’s half flush will save 10 litres a day. “Some of the biggest culprits of water loss are leaky taps, toilets and hot water systems. You can save more than one litre an hour by fixing just one leaky tap or up to 260 litres a day by getting your constantly running toilet fixed.” Council is currently completing planning works for the proposed raising of Clarrie Hall Dam to increase the volume of water that can be stored, securing our water supply in the face of climate change and population growth.

Amber alert for blue-green algae at Bray Park Weir Council has issued an amber alert for blue-green algae in the Tweed River at the Bray Park Weir, however tap water across the Tweed remains safe to drink and bathe in. Council’s Water and Wastewater Operations Manager Brie Jowett said the amber alert meant blue-green algae might be multiplying in the affected waterway. “The Bray Park Weir is the source of water for the Bray Park Water Treatment Plant which supplies drinking water for most of the Tweed,” Mrs Jowett said. “Testing by the NATA-accredited Tweed Laboratory Centre has found no evidence in the Bray Park Weir pool of the algal species capable of producing toxin. “Even if this species were there, Council’s water treatment

processes are very robust – we remove blue-green algae from the water when blooms occur so our water would still be perfectly safe to drink.” A green alert for blue-green algae at the Clarrie Hall Dam issued on 30 November 2022 remains in place. Council is continuing to monitor the situation and is testing twice a week at the dam, Bray Park Weir pool and the Tweed River at Uki while ensuring water is treated appropriately for the conditions. Mrs Jowett said Council was taking a precautionary approach and advising against recreational activities in the dam and the Tweed River upstream of the Bray Park Weir. Go to tweed.nsw.gov.au/water-wastewater for the latest information.

Restoration work on the 50 metre outdoor swimming pool at the Tweed Regional Aquatic Centre’s Murwillumbah complex is progressing well. Works completed so far include the removal of old fibreglass, repairs to pool structure, preparation of surfaces, fixtures and fittings, and replacement of the pool ends which were damaged during the 2022 flood. Some aspects of the restoration have taken longer than anticipated due to additional unexpected damage and the 50 m outdoor pool, giant hill slide and outdoor toddler pool remain closed. Work on the 50 m pool is now expected to be completed by early December (weather permitting) in time for the summer season. Both pools at Kingscliff and Tweed Heads South remain open as usual. The pool was closed during winter to finalise restoration work caused by the 2022 floods. Council would like to thank the community for their patience. Indoor facilities while this work is completed at the Murwillumbah centre remain open as usual.

Have your say on access and inclusion in the Tweed Council is seeking community feedback on the recently released draft Tweed Access and Inclusion Plan 2023–2026. Council is developing the new plan, which builds on the existing work being undertaken in the community and sets out actions and priorities for Council to improve access and inclusion of people of all abilities over the next 3 years. The draft Access and Inclusion Plan 2023–2026 is a result of consultation with the Tweed community over the past 2 years, including people living with disability, their carers, local disability service providers, peak organisations, Council’s Equal Access Advisory Committee and Council staff. We want this plan to have actions that will make a positive

difference to people with disability in our community. Tell us what you think about the draft plan and the 4 areas for improving access and inclusion in the Tweed. The community is invited to provide feedback on the draft plan by 4 pm, Wednesday 8 November in one of the following ways: • complete a short feedback form online or a hard copy available at Council offices and libraries in Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah • email a submission to tsc@tweed.nsw.gov.au or by post • attend a group community information session or meet with a project officer. Full details of this project and how to book in person and online sessions are on yoursaytweed.com.au/diap

Feral deer alert after recent sighting in Pottsville/Wooyung area A feral deer has been spotted in the Pottsville/Wooyung area in recent weeks, amplifying calls for residents to report any sightings. More than 55 reports of feral deer in the Tweed region have been recorded since the Northern Rivers Feral Deer Alert program first launched in May 2021. Feral deer are currently at a low density in the Tweed region and it’s critical to prevent them from establishing further. This invasive animal can cause serious and unwanted

impacts including vehicle collisions, environmental damage, fence damage, spreading of cattle tick and diseases and competition with livestock over pasture. Report feral deer sightings on the FeralScan app or contact Council’s Feral Deer Project Officer on 02 6670 2400. Photo or video footage will assist with

recording the species of deer sighted. Council is also inviting the community to complete a short feral deer survey to help gather more information. Complete the survey by 30 November at tweed.nsw.gov.au/deer and visit feralscan.org.au/deerscan to report all feral deer sightings.

Weed Alert: Seeded banana It looks like a Ladyfinger banana, but don’t be fooled by the Seeded banana’s appearance. Seeded banana can host the Banana Aphid, an insect which spreads Bunchy Top disease, one of the most serious diseases to strike the banana industry. Rous is working hard to prevent the spread of Seeded banana in the Northern Rivers region. Infestations of Seeded banana have already been found in valleys north of Nimbin and in isolated pockets around the Far North Coast. Seeded banana readily invades moist gully settings, creeklines and forested areas. We need your help to prevent the spread of Seeded banana. Seen it?

Top cops fight for good By Jo Kennett

THE TOP cop in the Tweed Byron Police District has been busted punching on with another police officer, but it was all for a good cause. Superintendent Dave Roptell took on a fellow police officer in the 2023 NSW Police Boxing Competition to raise funds for NSW Police Legacy and Police Citizen Youth Clubs (PCYC) in Sydney on Friday, October 13. Not only did Supt Roptell win the bout; he was also the top fundraiser in the state, raising $7,582. The closest contender didn't quite reach the $3,000 mark, which shows what a remarkable effort our chief police officer and his supporters made. Tweed Police officer Simon Metcalfe and District Crime Manager, Acting Inspector Chris Elliott also fought in the fundraiser, with Chris taking out another win for the Tweed constabulary. Tweed MP Geoff Provest was at the fight, congratulating both men afterwards. "It was really great to go down there and support our local police in the City v Country competition," Mr Provest said. “They train a lot of our youth and Supt Roptell raised the most money so I was very honoured to be there. "Chris Elliot performed extraordinarily well and won his bout and our superintendent won his fight in one-and-a-half rounds. "They are three-round fights and they judge on a technical knockout. "His opponent was quite a bit younger and even his wife said he was nervous before the fight so it was a great win. "We call him the Maltese Falcon (after the Humphrey Bogart movie character.”

Contestants raised $37,862 of the $40,000 goal, with a total of nearly $100,000 collected on the night for NSW Police Legacy, a charity that cares for the widows, widowers, partners and children of deceased members of the NSW Police Force and the PCYC. Supt Roptell has a special affinity with the PCYC in his role as a mentor for at-risk youth at the Tweed Heads PCYC. He brought the Fit For Life program for at-risk youngsters which he founded in Mt Druitt, to the Tweed, and each week joins other police officers working out with local youths.

AWARD-WINNING Landcare group Fingal Head Coastcare has had equipment vital to their work stolen in broad daylight while they were working nearby at Fingal Heads on Saturday, October 21. Fingal Head Coastcare’s Kay Bolton said the equipment was stolen on Saturday morning, just one week after the not-forprofit volunteer organisation won the Tweed Shire Council’s Sustainability Wildlife and Conservation Award. A watering trolley and hoses were stolen from the light-

house track while members were working in the adjacent bush. “The loss of this watering equipment will have a huge impact on our work in maintaining our recent plantings during the current dry conditions,” Kay said. “The trolley was designed, built and financed by one of our members, Sam Meredith, and he, of course, is devastated.’ Anyone with information can contact Fingal Head Coastcare on 0412 213 704 or fhcoastcare@gmail.com or Tweed Police on 07 55069499

Drone pilot raises shark alarm on surfers

by Jo Kennett

SURFERS AT Fingal Head had some close shaves with sharks recently but fortunately there was a drone pilot patrolling who raised the alarm so they could get to safety. Dylan Flinn operates an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Australian UAV Services on Tweed Coast beaches during the school holidays and at Fingal Head Beach on Thursday, October 5, when he had his first sighting of the day. “The water was murky and there was one surfer on the bank about 150 metres offshore so I flew the UAV out to him,” Dylan told The Weekly. “I scanned about a hundred metres around and saw something in the water and it was the shape of a shark. I could see the tail moving the way a shark swims and I’m about 90 per cent sure it was a white because of the size of it. It was three to four metres long. “It obviously knew the surfer was there, it was swimming back out but not directly at him.” Dylan only had five minutes of battery power left so he rang the siren and spoke to the surfer through the speaker. “I said, ‘I’ve just spotted a large shark nearby. I strongly advise you head to shore’,” Dylan said. “He gave me a thumbs-up and headed straight in and told me he smelled fish on the water. “He thanked me for keeping an eye on me and said he was from Victoria; I think he was staying in the caravan park.”

Dylan called the lifeguards who closed the beach and, an hour later, he advised a bodyboarder not to go out, telling him about the shark, but he went out anyway, “He paddled out about 200 metres south of where the surfer had been so I thought I’d keep an eye on him,” Dylan said. “I had to land to change batteries and then as soon as I got back out to him I saw something nearby. “I could see him looking over his shoulder at it. I think he was wondering what was there. “I realised it was a shark and it circled him like it was checking him out and then it came to the surface and it sort of came out of the water at him. “I hit the alarm and he came straight in and said he felt something swim by him but he wanted to go back out. “I think it was either a bull shark or a bronze whaler; it had a gold-coloured back.” The lifeguards shut the beach for the day. “We were advising everyone not to go out but a bit later about six surfers went out despite us advising them not to. We couldn’t stop them so I kept patrolling,” Dylan said. “They got out the back and a black shadow popped up about 20 metres away from them, if not closer. “I had technical issues with the siren so I had to run and tell the lifeguards who waved the big shark sign which caught their attention, because the siren at the club would have taken too long to get to.” The surfers came in and left the beach and later Dylan spotted another shark.

The Banora Point man works as a FIFO UAV pilot for Shell in Queensland doing methane gas detection, 3D mapping of sites and security with thermal cameras, and got his drone pilot’s ticket in a two-week course run at Fingal Rovers. He doesn’t want his story to put anyone off enjoying the ocean, but just wants oceangoers to be shark smart. “If you are out there and your gut feeling is telling you there is something in the water, you should listen to your gut feeling and go in,” he said. “That’s what I do as a surfer. If there are a lot of bait fish around, don’t go out. Sharks love murky water too, especially the bull sharks. “If there has been a shark sighted there recently, don’t go out. It’s not worth the risk of being attacked.”

First refugee household arrives in November By Yvonne Gardiner

A NEW group in the Tweed, set up to support refugees, will welcome its first “household” in November from South America. Tweed Welcomes Refugees (TWR) president Liz Waters said the eight members of the resettlement group wanted to help refugees that were coming into Australia and needed a safe place to live. Members of the first “refugee household” to be settled are aged in their 40s. “They’re currently living in extremely vulnerable accommodation,” Liz said. “We’re given a two-week window of notice. They’ll stay with my husband Norm and I for the first few weeks. “I’ve been learning Spanish. We’ll settle them here in the Tweed and get them on their way. We sort out bank and phone accounts, and a place to live. “They’ll do language classes. They’re keen to get work and start a small business. “They’re allowed to work straight away as

permanent visa-holders. “ We also have access to translation services, and we talk to them on an online platform.” Liz told The Weekly that eight million refugees had left Venezuela alone in the last decade. “So many of them want a safe place to go. Some of the countries in South America are very, very dangerous,” she said. “It’s a very welcoming, supportive community here in Tweed. We’re looking for people to support us.” Tweed is a declared Welcome Zone for refugees, so TWR has asked Tweed Shire Council for a welcome pack for each refugee household they host. That’s expected to be no more than five packs a year. Councillor Nola Firth will take the request to the council meeting on Thursday. Tweed residents can help with providing jobs and secure housing, essential household goods and immediate personal needs including food and clothing.

Council rebates on reuseable nappies By Jo Kennett

TWEED RESIDENTS can now receive a rebate of up to $100 on the cost of reusable nappies as part of Tweed Shire Council’s new Residential Reusable Cloth Nappy Rebate Scheme which was launched at Ambrose Brown Park in Pottsville on Thursday, October 19. The rebate encourages local parents and guardians to choose reusable nappies over disposable ones and aims to reduce the environmental and economic impact of disposable nappies at Tweed’s landfill site, Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre. Councillor Nola Firth first moved a motion to adopt a Reusable Nappy Rebate Scheme in May, which was supported by all councillors. Cr Firth said she was excited to launch the scheme because 1.5 billion nappies go into landfill in Australia. “Each nappy is made with about one cup of crude oil and they are actually full of plastic,” she said at the launch. “Even the one marked eco-nappies still have a lot of plastic in them. “It’s a big problem in terms of plastic and waste ending up in our rivers, our oceans and landfill. “Tweed Shire Council has a zero waste policy and this is actioning it and it’s wonderful. “Nappies take about 200 years to break down so all the nappies that have every been released are still there.” Council staff worked out that if 100 families joined the scheme, the Tweed Shire would save 180,000 nappies. “After you have bought the nappies, it gets cheaper and people are worried about the cost of everything. “After this is established we are also looking at

a rebate scheme for incontinence pads because that is also contributing huge amounts of plastic to landfill.” Council’s Director Sust ainable Communities and Environment Naomi Searle said residents who purPottsville's Jaz chased reusable napBrampton pies as of October 2023 could simply head to council’s website and fill out a rebate form. “We really welcome this because we believe the $10,000 cost of the rebate will be offset by the cost of disposable nappies into landfill. “It’s also not impacting ratepayers because it’s paid through the resource recovery budget which is self funding.” Pottsville mother Jaz Bampton has used reusable nappies for both of her children. Her youngest still goes through four to five nappies a day. For her, reusable nappies are a better alternative as they’re safer for the environment and not as difficult to use as expected. “Once you get into a good routine with the washing and stocking and rehanging, which is simple, it works out fine,” Ms Bampton told The Weekly. “I reckon I’ve saved thousands of dollars in four years and as a single mum I will take that help wherever I can get it. “I think this program is fabulous. It’s a really good option for parents who aren’t sure or if they don’t have the money straight away to buy a bundle of nappies. I can’t wait to share it with my friends.”

TWEED SHIRE Council officers have asked Transport for NSW to review the speed limit on Tweed Coast Road between Pottsville and Wooyung. Council’s traffic engineer and chairman of the Local Traffic Committee, Ray Clark , said speed limits were not a “delegated function” of council. “To assist TfNSW in their review, traffic volume and speed data can be collected and, together with crash data analysis, used to determine the appropriate speed limit,” he said. “The speed limit on Tweed Coast Road was last reviewed by the then NSW Roads and

Maritime Services (RMS) in late 2014 when there was a reduction to 80kmh from Kellehers Road north to the Cudgera Creek Bridge.” Through The Weekly, Pottsville Dunecare members have called for a lowering of the speed limit along the Tweed Coast Road. As they regularly work in the dunes beside the road, they see the danger to people and wildlife from speeding motorists. Through the Safer Road NSW website, anyone who has concerns about a speed limit can make comments and this will be used as part of the speed zone review prioritisation process.

Eight veterans honoured with Quilts of Valour EIGH T R ESIDEN TS in a Banora Point aged care facility have been presented with Quilts of Valour (QOV) in honour of their military service, sacrifice and valour to the nation at a moving ceremony on Tuesday, October 17. Bolton Clarke Darlington residents Bert Barker (WWII), Nona Barker (WWII), Brian Shoober t (Korean War), David Simpson (Indonesian Conf lict), Keith Jacobs (Vietnam War), Wayne Huxley (Vietnam War), Michael M o r a n ( V i et n a m Wa r ) , and Ray Dillon (Vietnam War) were recognised and respectfully presented their handmade quilt. The quilts are described as a gift of love with many colours, shapes and fabrics representing the individuals who make up

every community of support, and provide warmth, comfort and peace. Michael Moran joined the army aged 20 and served for 22 years. He had two years of active service in the Vietnam War. Herbert (Bert) Baker, now 102, is a very proud and rare foundation member of RAEME (Royal Australian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers). Commissioned at age 20, Bert’s career spanned 38 years with the most notable time being his five years as Commanding Officer of the RAEME Training Centre at Bandiana. His wife, Nona, also received a quilt. After joining the Army at 19, she was a corporal in a single corps unit. Registered charity QOV Australia was set up following the tragic loss and injury

of defence personnel in Afghanistan in 2010, when V ictor ia resident Helen Comport learnt of the need to reach out to wounded ADF personnel and honour their sacrifice for serving Australia. Helen learnt how touched an injured soldier was by the warmth of the quilt he was awarded from Americans and was inspired to establish an Australian organisation to award quilts to service personnel, veterans, and immediate families of defence personnel and veterans who have passed. Other coalition forces are involved in making quilts to wrap the wounded in love, care and healing, a powerful symbol in a traumatic time. The quilts are hand made by quilters across Australia and are presented to the recipient with a covering letter and certificate.

THE UKI Refugee Project (URP) friendship visit last weekend was a huge success, with about 40 Brisbane-based refugees, many who have escaped war and trauma, enjoying a bush dance at Uki and a picnic on the creek at Kingscliff. URP’s Brian McClelland said the bush dance band Playing Possum were “brilliant” and had everyone on the dance floor. “Then the people from Brisbane did one of their highland songs with drums and they got us in a circle and we had to jump on the spot with our arms linked. It was beautiful,” he said. “Many thanks to the life saving crew for coming again and the Wollumbin Dragon Boat Club for the lifejackets. The friendship visit is a great opportunity to mix with people from other cultures, which is wonderful for everyone.” Joseph Balikuddembe was entrusted by the Romero Centre, a part of the Mercy Community which helps asylum seekers in Brisbane, to bring

the group down by train. “That’s something I take seriously,” he said. “We come from all sorts of backgrounds and for all sorts of reasons and we have been welcomed by so many people and it’s been exciting. “The Romero Centre has done a wonderful job and the experience with the Uki community has been very interesting. My hosts Kim and Greg have been wonderful.” Joseph escaped war-torn Uganda and arrived in Australia five months ago. “ T h e situation there is not about to change and if you live in a country Namutebi at Kingy creek that has Photo Madeleine Murray

refugees’ Uki visit had one person leading for nearly 40 years, a lot can go wrong and the situation becomes hard for some of us to stay,” he said. “When I went to Romero I was all alone, but many people have come under similar situations like mine. Romero has been really helpful and recommended me to the Mercy Community and I have taken on work in the disability support sector. I had a background in social work in Uganda. “When you move to a new country you don’t know what to expect and then to get taken on by a team like Romero with support from the Uki community and you feel you have someone that looks after you and you slowly begin to feel like you are fitting in. “It’s still a long journey with visas etc but I can only hope and pray that my visa works out.” Ugandan Namutebi said she was “very excited because it’s my first time to see the ocean.” “I’ve swum and gone in the kayak; I’m an expert now,” Namutebi joked. “It’s lovely. It’s very different from my own country. The water is very clear, everything is nice. “I’ve been in Brisbane for two months and two weeks but I’m super excited about the URP.

“Thank you so much and thank you Romero Centre.” The Weekly’s Madeleine Murray hosted a family of asylum seekers and loved the picnic. “Children and adults played in the water, and paddled kayaks and canoes until lunch was ready under the shade of a big paperbark tree,” she said. “The Coolangatta CWA and URP provided the delicious food and then Joseph gave a very entertaining speech about how great the friendship visit weekends are. “Joyce from PNG then read a speech she had written about how moved she was by the weekend: “I loved it from the bottom of my heart. Many of us have experienced hardship and trauma and this has been so wonderful for us.” “One group started spontaneously doing a circle dance around a tree, led by a dance teacher from 3UA before they were driven to Varsity Lakes station after a very special weekend of dancing, eating, water activities and making new friends.”

Ally to star in Schools Spectacular By Jo Kennett

TWEED SHIRE students are among only 149 students statewide chosen to perform as featured artists and dancers at the Schools Spectacular’s 40th anniversary show, ‘Fabulous’ at Sydney Olympic Park on Friday, November 24 and Saturday, November 25. The students went through a rigorous audition process before being chosen from more than 900 nominations to be part of the largest performing arts event in the southern hemisphere. Banora Point High School student Ally Brewer’s f irst performance at the event will be huge as she has a Featured Dance role. Ally said she has been a part of the eisteddfod team for Dance Force ever since she was 7. “I have danced since I was 5 years old, ever since then I have loved dancing for myself and I love performing in front of people,” Ally said. “My main dance studio is Dance Force on t he Gold Coast. “I have been there for 10 years, and have been a part of their competition team for 7 years. “I was a soloist from the age of nine

How well are you hearing in background noise? In this increasingly noisy world, it is getting harder to hear conversations ‒ even for people with normal hearing! Whether itʼs in a café or pub, at a social gathering or sitting around the table with family at home when the TV is on; being exposed to other sounds we have to hear on top of the ones we want to hear makes listening diﬃcult as well as tiring. There are a few strategies that you can implement the next time you are trying to listen in background noise:

• Make sure you are facing the person who is speaking. Visual cues give us more information than we realise, especially for softer speech sounds.

• Good lighting will help you to see visual and facial cues. • Be speciﬁc when asking people to repeat, eg, “What date did you say

the party will be?” This helps them to know what information you have missed and makes their response easier to follow.

These strategies can give extra cues to help make sense of speech in conversation. However, if your hearing is impaired, these steps will not re-introduce the sounds that you are missing. Help is at hand though to improve your listening in these situations! Professionally programmed and ﬁtted hearing aids from Sunshine Hearing can comfortably and discreetly amplify the sounds that you are missing out on. We can arrange a no obligation hearing aid trial tailored to your needs. We oﬀer the following services:

to 14, winning a lot of titles such as overall champion Evolution 2019, Overall champion KAR 2018, and more. “I love my Dance Force family and can’t wait to pursue dance as a career and keep doing what I love.” The young dancer has had to overcome a lot of health issues on her journey. “I currently have three different specialists that I’m under, so I’m extremely proud of myself to be where I am in my dance career from the medical hurdles that I have overcome in my life,” she said. Executive producer Richard Spiewak said the Schools Spectacular was one of the most anticipated events on the public school calendar. “To be chosen to perform at this world-class event is not only a testament to their talent but also a n o p p o r t u n i t y fo r students to nurture their love for performing while working alongside some of the finest talents in the entertainment indust r y,” Mr Spiewak said. “ T he featured artists are some of our brightest stars and, alongside all this year’s performers, they will put on a spectacular show that highlights the incredible talent within our public schools.

Landscapes in the Mist By Madeleine Murray

MIST GALLERY at Cabarita has two shows on in late October and November. Big Sky, an exhibition of landscape paintings of Northern NSW by Scott McDougall, will hang alongside Beauty in our own Backyard by John Corby. Scott McDougall, who lives and works in Stokers Siding in the beautiful Tweed Valley, is an internationally recognised artist with works in Australian and international collections. He has held more than 40 solo exhibitions here and overseas. Scott recently won first place in The Doyles Prize for his landscape painting. His works have been selected for the Wynne and Sulman shows at the Art Gallery of NSW. “The vast, open skies of Northern NSW, with their ever-changing colours and moods, evoke a wide range of emotions in me – from awe and wonder to tranquillity,” Scott told The Weekly. “ T he early dawn elicits a sense of the divine or the spiritual. “These emotional responses serve as a pow-

erful motivator to capture the essence of the Australian landscape on canvas. “The play of light and shadow, the interplay of clouds, and the way the landscape meets the horizon, offer endless inspiration.” Pottsville’s John Corby has titled his show Beauty in our own Backyard. John’s approach is reminiscent of the Impressionists. He captures daily life on the coast, such as children playing in rock pools, surfers scanning waves, and patient anglers hoping to bring home dinner. “The most challenging task is to identify nature’s subtle beauty and somehow do it justice through the medium of paint,” John said. “When I consider a subject, I focus on what I am feeling, what excites me. Conveying that emotion through paint is my ultimate goal. To achieve this, I am constantly examining the way I apply paint, the interplay of colours and how I can strengthen composition.” The exhibition at Mist Gallery, 1B/51 Tweed Coast Rd, Cabarita Beach runs until late November.

Murbah – best farmers’ market in the nation By Jo Kennett

THE MURWILLUMBAH Farmers Markets have won two major accolades this year, being named the Readers’ Choice for the most Outstanding Farmer’s Market in the country and also picking up Tweed Shire Council’s Sustainability Award with some innovative initiatives. Murwillumbah Farmers’ Market was named the winner of the Readers’ Choice award at the Harvey Norman Produce Awards in late August. Celebrating the best produce in Australia, the awards recognise “the hard work, dedication and commitment to sustainability of our land’s most impressive farmers, fishers, growers and makers”. Market manager Claire Strodder said her team was thrilled to win the Readers Choice award for the most Outstanding Farmers Market at the national produce award. “I nearly fainted when they rang,” Claire told The Weekly. “To win it nationally is just amazing. “It was Readers Choice which is probably even better because it means people really care about our markets so it’s really exciting.” The market started with 11 stalls and has grown to 50 stalls. “It’s going from strength to strength. “All of our stallholders grow or produce their product so we know where i t’s c o m i ng from and peo-

ple are getting to know their farmers and producers. “Some of our stallholders like Woodland Valley Farm have also won awards for their produce and efforts in sustainability. Our farmers and producers really take pride in what they are bringing each week. They take pride that they make it or they’ve grown it so having that connection is just amazing. “COVID highlighted food security so when borders shut we could still get what we needed. “We moved outside for social distancing and we’ve never gone back inside. “We have dedicate d we ek l y shoppers but

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

YOUR LOCAL FOOD BOWL We have some more exciting news to share with you all this month!

As you may have heard, (and check out the special feature in this week’s The Weekly) the market won an award in the local Tweed Shire Council’s 2023 Tweed Sustainability Awards. We were the winner of the ‘Community Group’ sector, which is a wonderful recognition. Sustainability is so important to the market as its aim is to be as sustainable as possible to ensure that our future generations - so our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren can too have access to fresh, local and seasonal produce each and every week. We try our best to do this in many ways but our key ways are giving farmers and producers with an avenue to sell their local produce - keeping food miles down, bringing awareness to food security, implementing a wash station and significantly reducing our weekly waste, encouraging customers to not only recycle but to reuse and educating our customers and the younger generations about the importance of locally sourced food While we were a winner, it was clear from the awards night that we

are standing among a community of like minded people, businesses and community / not-for-profit groups. The other nominees and winners showcased how they too are focussing on sustainability for our future – one of them being our lovely friends over at Woodland Valley Farm. This is truly amazing and the most important take-away from these awards. A massive thank you Tweed Shire Council for holding the awards and for recognising the efforts of our community. Somehow it is only 9 weeks until Christmas – I am not sure where 2023 has gone but we are taking expressions of interest for holiday pop-up stalls for the Christmas period. So, if you are a local artisan stall or producer of some kind and would like to join us on the lead up to Christmas please email me at manager@murwillumbahfarmersmarket.com.au. Last but by no means least, there will be even more activity than usual at the market going forward as the Misfits Training Club will be starting with an energizing Yogalates session at 8am EVERY Wednesday morning. Yogalates will be in the hall adjacent to the toilets and behind the Gold Coast Seafood stall. Whether you’re a member or not, all are welcome.

For non-members, it’s just a $10 drop-in fee. How great is this – you can come along to the Murwillumbah Showground every Wednesday for some exercise and then make the most of all the wonderful fresh and healthy produce at the market. With love and gratitude, Claire

What’s in season, tasty and interesting at the market this month?

This last couple of weeks, we have some old friends joining us – John and Frieda from Southview Orchard. Southview Orchard joined us a couple of years ago for their peach and nectarine season, which is only short – so make the most of it while they’re with us again. John and Frieda tell me that there is nothing like the scent of fresh ripened peaches and nectarines from the trees - sounds delicious. Peaches are high in vitamins like C and A, so they’re great for our immune system and our skin. They can be enjoyed in fruit salads, savoury salads, smoothies, in many sweet desserts or even just as is as a health snack. Please join us in welcoming Southview Orchard to the market for the next few weeks while the peach season is on. You will find Southview Orchard in the

gravel area outside. Our dedicated chai-lovers may have already heard that there are a few exciting things going on over at Heart and Halo in the coming weeks. First, watch out as Tusta’s lovely stall will be moving one spot over to the corner spot (Heart & Halo will be swapping with Cheeses Loves You). More excitingly, Tusta will also be serving up his delicious coffee again – so do pop by and try a cup. Heart & Halo was started over ten years ago as a food outlet with the intention of serving the planet, it’s creation, and humans alike, by creating beautiful food cooked and served with love – as we all know savouring our cups of chai each week and stocking up on our favourite frozen meals everything over at Heart & Halo is served with so much love – thank you Tusta. The lovely Bron and Andrew from Smoothie Operators will be away for the next few weeks on a well-deserved break. However, fear not as familiar faces Daphne and Nats will be running the stall. Now, also on the Smoothie Operators front – as we are now experiencing the warmer weather porridge will be stepping aside until next year (sorry porridge lovers) and the chia puddings will be back. Make sure you stop by to get your chia

pudding over the summer months. Have you checked out what is on offer at Fair Game Wild Venison recently? Fair Game is a fortnightly stall so you may not always see them but they are next to the walkway into the market so hopefully you won’t miss them! Mick tells me that wild venison has almost no saturated fat, is high in protein, B vitamins thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin B-12 which aid brain and nervous system function, help turn food into energy and keep your skin and hair healthy. It is high in zinc (for your immune system), iron (for forming red blood cells) and phosphorus (for kidney function and creating strong bones). Wild venison is also great as the deer are free to roam and graze as they wish with no chemical input. Mick has a range of venison cuts with him each and every week including sausages, diced venison, topside, mince, salami and much more!

Luminous light and space By Madeleine Murray

KATHERINE CARSON (formerly Castle) is showing her luminous landscapes at Art Post Uki from Thursday October 26. Whether you know it or not, you are probably familiar with Katherine’s work. Her bird paintings feature on more than two million pieces of Maxwell & Williams crockery. This exhibition called Luminosity reveals her first love, painting the landscape. These paintings show Katherine’s superb facility with colour and tone to create the illusion of light and space. She evokes the fleeting shafts of light at Cedar Creek, mists swirling around the caldera, the first hour after the sun rises and the last hour before sunset, scenes that stir the heart. “These paintings feature those magical moments where the light transforms an ordinary subject into something extraordinary,” Katherine told The Weekly.

Katherine completed her art diploma at Meadowbank TAFE where she learnt the fundamental skills of painting. She then worked in the graphic design industry before becoming a freelance illustrator. After a three-year odyssey travelling around Australia, revelling in the country and its breathtaking landscapes, Katherine settled in 2000 on a rainforest property in the Tweed Valley, Northern NSW. There she paints and in her spare time works regenerating the rainforest. She has exhibited solo and in group exhibitions throughout the region. Her most recent achievement was winning the 2023 Bentley Art Prize with her painting Touch of Gold. Luminosity opens at 6pm on Thursday, October 26, at the Uki Post Office. The exhibition ends December 6. It can be seen every day from 7am-5pm weekdays, 7am-12.30pm Saturday and 8am-12.30pm Sunday. For more info, go to katherinecarsonart.com.au

THE MIRACULOUS glass art of Clare Belfrage is on at the Tweed Regional Gallery (TRG) until November 26. The show, called The Glow of Green, is truly extraordinary, and does actually give off the green glow of the rainforest. All the pieces have interesting shapes, beautiful soft colours, enigmatic patterns and a soft satin finish. The lyrical, delicate work is forged from the fury of fire and furnace. It’s dangerous physical work. A glass artist has to be powerful, fast, and brave. The process is hot, sweaty, and heavy, yet the result is airy and ethereal. The slender, delicate Clare Belfrage is an unlikely candidate for such gruelling work. Clare actually lives in South Australia and works at the Jam Factory Glass Studio in Adelaide, but in an interesting initiative she was awarded a two-week residency at the gallery’s on-site studio, the Nancy Fairfax Artist in Residence Studio in 2022. “It was two weeks of really quiet, thoughtful research: walking in the rainforest, taking millions of photos, writing, drawing and just absorbing the place all on my own,” Clare told The Weekly. “It’s the first time I’ve done a non-making residency, been without a glass-making studio. I can’t tell you how much I loved it.” Clare spent her days walking in the great national parks around here: Border Ranges,

Mt Jerusalem and Mebbin. “I’m fascinated by mosses, lichens, the skin and surface of things, patterns in the natural world,” she said. “Twenty years ago I made a real shift in my work, from thinking of it as a form and decorating it. Now the line, pattern and form have to have resonance and nuance. I don’t want to make something that looks like a leaf or a shell, I work with elements.” One of the many brilliant aspects of Clare’s work apart from texture, colour, luminosity are the strange and satisfying organic shapes. “A lot of glass blowing tends to be in the round,” she said. “I love using the heat and the gravity and the spinning pod.” And how does she get that subtle, satin sheen on her work? “It comes out of the furnace shiny,” she said. “I grind the base and sandblast it with very fine sand to give it as soft finish.” “Clare’s glass works are breathtaking in their colour, striking luminosity and detail,” gallery director Susi Muddiman said. In the Glow of Green is beautifully presented as usual at the TRG. The exquisite objects seem to glow in the darkened room. They are on little grey shelves coming out from the wall, which is covered with a wallpaper patterned with Clare’s swirling shapes. Don’t miss this extraordinary show which ends November 26. In the Glow of Green Clare Belfrage is at the Tweed Regional Gallery, Murwillumbah until November 26. For more info, go to gallery.tweed.nsw.gov.au

David Helfgott. Pictures: Wendy Martin (main), Cameron Herweynen (background)

Spotlight: David Helfgott MUCH IS known about David Helfgott’s life thanks to the 1996 Oscar-winning film Shine, directed by Scott Hicks. It propelled the genius pianist to international stardom with the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.3 becoming the top selling album in Australia, UK and the US. He played unprecedented consecutive sold-out concerts at the Sydney Opera House and embarked on a sold-out world tour including the Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall. At age 17, Helfgott had begun studying with Alice Carrard, a former student of Bartok and Istvan Thoman, himself a pupil of Liszt. Two years later, he left Perth for London to study at the Royal College of Music with Cyril Smith, who described him as his most brilliant student in 25 years. While winning many awards in London, towards the end of his time there, he faced increased emotional and mental challenges that saw frequent hospitalisations during the 1970s, portrayed poignantly in Shine by actor Geoffrey Rush. Helfgott has toured internationally ever since the film’s release, including the Beijing Music Festival, Vienna’s Musikverein, Copenhagen’s Tivoli Concert Hall, the Erl Festival Hall in Austria and regularly at the Sydney Opera House. He received the Order of Australia in 2021. A new film by Hicks is holding its world premiere this week in Adelaide and glimpses the private worlds and elite musical processes of four superstars. The Musical Mind: A Portrait in Process features Daniel Johns, Ben Folds, Simon Tedeschi, and Helfgott - exploring his life since the release of Shine. The pianist is thrilled with the new film. “I am incredibly privileged to be part of it and I love it. I especially loved playing with Daniel again,” he told The Weekly. “I enjoyed recording emotional sickness with him. Daniel never put me under any pressure, and everyone was so

professional and friendly. It was wonderful to see him. We understand each other.” In a life so highly documented and at the pinnacle of fame for decades, it is the most ordinary life Helfgott craves and that gives him the most happiness and peace. Daily life for the world-famous musician is deceptively simple yet intrinsic to his musical mind. “I am so privileged to live in paradise. I have my own studio, a piano room, and a lovely garden,” he said. “I am so well looked after that I don’t have to stress and that leaves me free to exercise and practice. I get up early and when it’s warm I swim at least once or twice a day and do a few chores around the house. I love swimming and listening to music. I watch the news and read a lot. I practise in the afternoon and evenings, then take a break and listen to ABC Classic FM before bed.” Helfgott’s extensive career is fortunately peppered with local shows far closer to his paradisiacal Bellingen home. “I enjoy playing close to home and seeing my many friends in the Northern Rivers,” he said. “Smaller venues are different, and I enjoy small theatres as I adapt to the venue and size of the audience.” His inspiration to perform remains unabated. “Performing makes me so happy. When I see the audience, or an orchestra, it always inspires me to keep going. I feel so lucky to still be performing overseas and here at home.” It is hard to pin the maestro down on his favourite piece or composer and he admits to being partial to the Romantics. “But at the same time, I love Rachmaninov and Liszt, for their sheer gift of melody, harmony, and form. It makes me so happy to play them.” The Musical Mind will screen at The Regent on Friday, November 10, in the leadup to Helfgott presenting his world-famous repertoire including works by Liszt, Chopin, Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Addinsell, in a special live solo concert at The Regent on Saturday, November 11, at 7.30pm. www.the-regent.com.au

FEATURED BUSINESS LIFELONG TWEED locals Luke and Katie McDonald are proud to have launched Tweed Valley Hire recently. The McDonald family have the skills and equipment to tackle a wide range of excavation and drainage jobs both big and small and with or without an operator. Luke and his wife Katie both grew up in the Tweed Valley with Luke originally from Pottsville and Katie from Banora. “My great grandparents, grandparents and parents are also from Tweed Shire,” the couple said. “We moved away for work when we were young and ended up in Darwin. “We moved back in 2019 and now live in Chillingham with our two teenage daughters.” Luke has been working in construction across excavation and drainage works for the past 20 years with one of Australia’s largest civil contractors. “I recently started Tweed Valley Hire in

As well as trenching and excavation services. “We currently have a special offer on driveway crossovers and open drain clearing,” he said.

Horse riders’ needs take the lead By Yvonne Gardiner

HORSE RIDERS are heading towards a greater presence in Tweed Shire Council’s sport and recreation plans. Tweed Mayor Chris Cherry said equestrian sport had not been well recognised by council’s planning over the years, with it not being mentioned as a sport at all in the 2014 Tweed Shire Sportsfield Strategy. “Councillor (Warren) Polglase and myself have been approached by the equestrian clubs of Tweed, both having daughters who have had a lot to do with horses, to ensure that the new Sport and Recreation Strategy Council fosters better recognition of this sport and the place it plays, particularly in encouraging women and girls of all ages to be fit and active,” she said. “Many girls and women move away from competitive sport as they reach

teenage years and adulthood, but this is not the case with equestrian sport. “The money that horse owners and competitors put back into the economy is also pretty unique.” Cr Cherry hopes that the strategy will include the needs for this sporting group over the next 10 years, so that the next time there is state or federal funding available, equestrian sport in the Tweed will get a look in. “The clubs have provided some really solid evidence for why this is good for the community,” she said. Cr Cherry will recommend at this Thursday’s council meeting that equestrian clubs help identify and maintain specific horse riding trails, with no dogs or motorbikes, including staging areas for unloading/loading horses within the Tweed. Specific areas would include Burringbar, for access to Mooball Nation-

al Park; Crams Farm, for access to Mount Jerusalem National Park, and Cabarita Beach Pony Club Grounds surrounds. Currently there are eight equestrian clubs operating in the Tweed Shire with 520 members. An additional 500 recreational horse riders are thought not to be members of an equestrian club. This sport allows participation across a wide range of ages with 20% of the active equestrian riders aged over 60 years, 42% aged from 31-60, 11% from 18-30 and 27% under 18. About 88% of equestrian club riders in the Tweed are female. A councillor workshop is scheduled for November 23 to discuss the draft Sport and Active Recreation Strategy and community engagement outcomes. Discussions around equestrian facilities may be presented at the workshop.

Spangled drongos take the prize as basketball booms By Aaron Chapman

A LOCAL basketball team has just come up trumps at the 55th Annual Jacaranda Basketball Carnival held from Friday, October 21, to Sunday, October 23, in Grafton, as basketball in the Tweed Shire goes through a huge surge in popularity. Three teams from Murwillumbah competed in the three-day event with all three teams making it into the finals. Spangled Drongos and Murbah Magic both competed in the Mens C Grade competition while the Renegades almost took the silverware in the Women's competition. Spangled Drongos is named after local Murwillumbah brewing company Spangled Drongo Brewing, with one of its founders being player Steven Murphy who competed alongside teammates Andy Walshe, Aaron Chapman, Troy Stanley, Rhys Bennett, Martin Reay, Matt Rutland and Simon Walshe. Spangled Drongos made it to the Mens C Grade Division and came out on top after a nail-biting game, winning their division 32 - 31. They were undefeated in the tournament. Murbah Magic was also extremely competitive and made it to the semi-finals of the Mens C Grade Division. The Renegades put up a top performance over the three days, coming Runner Up in the Women's Division in a back-and-forth final. It was a great overall performance from the Murwillumbah teams as

part of the Tweed Valley Basketball Association. Basketball is thriving in our region, with registered playing members at Tweed Valley Basketball Association having increased from 131 players in September 2022, to 386 players in September 2023 (including Aussie Hoops, juniors, and adult members). Zac Hoade who plays for Murbah Magic and is the president of the Murwillumbah Basketball Association said Murwillumbah basketball is growing at a rapid rate mainly due to the local community and volunteers, who do such a great job of pulling the whole show together. "We want to encourage the younger generation to get involved with local basketball to experience the comradery and shared experiences that come from playing community sport," Zac said. Aussie Hoops introduces kids to basketball and is run in three different locations (Terranora on Thursdays, Pottsville on Wednesdays, and Murwillumbah on Tuesday afternoons) The kids are coached, encouraged and challenged to develop key basketball game principles The coach is Spangled Drongo team member and Murwillumbah local, Troy Stanley.
