Panic buyers asked to think of pensioners

A PRIVATE CREMATION        

Panic buying has left many toilet paper shelves empty with pleas from store managers to avoid panic buying

“We are seeing rice and sanitary items moving and we had an increase in health and beauty, and grocery sales last week.

“Canned food, UHT milk and that type of thing is all moving.”

Mr Pettit said he was looking forward to things calming down.

“We are doing our best, but this would all be unnecessary if people just calmed down,” he said.

Coles has limited the purchase of toilet paper to one pack per customer.

A Coles spokesperson said: “following unprecedented demand for toilet rolls we reluctantly introduced a temporary four pack limit last week”.

“Unfortunately, many stores are still selling out within an hour of delivery,” the spokesperson said.

“We have therefore made the decision to change the limit to one pack per customer so that toilet rolls are available for more of our customers, particularly the elderly and people who are unable to purchase in large volumes.

“We have asked our suppliers to focus on increasing production of larger pack sizes and we are prioritising the delivery of these packs to our stores, as a pack of 30 rolls should last an average family for around three weeks.

“We are grateful to our team members and suppliers who are working tirelessly to do the best job possible under the circumstances, and we thank our customers for their understanding and support.”

A spokesperson from Woolworths told The Weekly they now have a two-pack per transaction limit on toilet paper to ensure those who require more than the average quantity of toilet rolls, such as large families, care facilities or child care centres, can still meet their immediate needs.

“We continue to work closely with our suppliers to get products onto shelves as quickly as we can,” the spokesperson said.

“The makers of Kleenex, Sorbent, Quilton and Woolworths’ own range of toilet paper are continuing to produce extra stock in Australian facilities to meet the demand.

“As a result, large volumes of toilet paper supply are flowing through to our stores each day.

“With this ongoing stock delivery, we encourage customers to continue purchasing only what they require.

“The vast majority of the products in our range remain available for our customers as normal.”

By Jo Kennett THE MANAGER of a Murwillumbah supermarket has pleaded with the public to stop panic buying and think of those who can’t afford to buy in bulk.

Tweed Valley IGA Manager Mark Pettit said the panic buying brought on

by COVID-19 fears was unnecessary.

“We aren’t at a point that this panic buying is necessary at all,” Mr Pettit told The Weekly.

“Everyone needs to be respectful and just buy what you need because not everyone is in the position to bulk buy.

“The elderly, people on pensions can’t throw money at it or people who are struggling.”

Mr Pettit, the 2018 IGA Store Manager of the Year, also wanted to remind customers not to take their anger out on staff if they find things like toilet paper out of stock or a limit on the purchase of some items.

“Just remember, when you come in the store, to respect we have to put some limits on things,” he said.

“That’s not a staff decision, it’s a management decision so please be respectful of staff and don’t take it out on them.

“The biggest issue with toilet paper is when so much is ripped out of our warehouse it takes a while to get more in.

“We ordered 70 pallets today (Tuesday, March 10) and only got 14 so we aren’t expecting a lot to come in; that’s 20 per cent.

“We are completely out because of the panic buying but we get loads in on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.”

Mr Pettit said some other items had also become unavailable.

“We can’t get any anti-bacterial hand wash in,” he said.

Business Tax Advisers

Wet wipes go in the bin not the toilet, says Council has led to a run on substitutes like tissues, paper towels and wet wipes.

“If you have had to use wet wipes because of the run on toilet paper, please put them in the bin for disposal in the rubbish as they do not break down in water and can block our sewers,” Council’s Manager of Water and Wastewater Operations Brie Jowett said.

Council has had three types of wet wipes in water at its front counters since August 2017.

“It pays to see for yourself that these handy little items are a major hazard to your household sewerage pipes and

Council’s sewer network,” Ms Jowett said.

“While they may disappear down the bowl, they stay intact within the network for years and can cause blockages, sewage overflows and thousands of dollars of damage to pipes and pumps.

“If they block the pipes on private property, the householder could face a hefty bill.

“If they block Council’s sewer network, the ratepayer pays.”

Every year, Australian water utilities estimate they spend more than $15 million removing wet wipes from Australian sewers.

“So please remember that wet wipes should not be flushed down the toilet,” Ms Jowett said.

“Only flush the four p’s – poo, pee, paper and puke. Put wet wipes in the bin.”

TWEED SHIRE Council is appealing to residents to not flush wet wipes down the loo as they block plumbing and the Tweed sewer system.

Council has even conducted an experiment on three different types of wipes, that showed after 31 months, even the wipes labelled flushable had barely broken down.

Blockages to home plumbing can be very costly to homeowners and blockages of the Tweed’s sewer system can cost ratepayers a small fortune in repairs.

Aerial spraying

Totally agree with Annmarie Miller (TVW, Feb 27), being bombarded with toxic insecticides from the air is not acceptable as it then is washed into our waterways.

Control the insects in your own space in your own way. Methropane – is this connected to the lorikeets experiencing paralysis at the moment and all the dead fish?

Helen Hanningan, Murwillumbah

Spraying kills bees

Yes we agree with Annmarie Miller (TVW, Feb 27).

We keep Stingless Australian Native Bees and just prior to Christmas, mosquitoes were sprayed in the Banora Point area.

Methoprene as well as Bacillus theringiensis was used. After this spraying, we had hundreds of dead bees in front of our hives and we started to have hives die out. So far, we have lost more than 40 hives and many others are getting weaker and will possibly die. Of course Council have come up with many reasons why the mosquito spraying was not the cause of these deaths.

It is not only our bees that are in danger but what about all the bee hives in the bush, they are also in danger. Australia and many other countries are going through a period when we are losing bees and one day we may not have enough bees to pollinate our food crops and native plants.

Arthur Akehurst, Banora Point

Public versus private

The Northern Beaches hospital was built by public money to the tune of $600 million (I have seen the figure of $2.14 billion as the real final cost).

Whatever the amount, the cost was at public expense but handed over to an American multinational company to run for profit. The beds in the hospital are split 60 per cent public and 40 per cent private.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Parking ranges from 15 minutes free, 1 hour $6.70, $17.80 for 5 hours and $20 per day.

The company also receives a fee from the government to run the hospital. Is this to be the fate of the Kingscliff hospital when built?

Senior staff have resigned, workers complain of being overworked through staff shortages. Are the current reallocating of nursing hours from Murwillumbah hospital a portent of things to come? We got a lot a sweet talk at the last election about the new hospital from pollies and their local mates. I think we should be very afraid for the future of our public heath system, after all Murwillumbah has from a medical point of view been declared a city.

What’s that all about?

Frank Ball, Tweed Heads

Budget blues

The Nationals and Liberals jumped on the Tweed Valley Hospital electoral bandwagon but their credentials as the best economic managers must be in doubt at all levels of government.

The feds stuffed more than $636 million into their pre-election pork barrelling, their prized budget surplus (it never actually existed) appears to be in tatters and team NSW is looking flat well before half-time.

Closer to home, a reading of recent Northern NSW Local Health District Board meeting minutes already exposes something of a dilemma with the new hospital.

Budget restraints, a bit of fine tuning and hey presto, the promise of a one-stop hospital shop must be disappearing with the red dust rising above the Cudgen farmland.

The minutes reveal that Tweed Hospital Medical Staff Council requested a meeting with relevant parties to discuss their concerns and the actual scope of the new hospital.

Hopefully that meeting has taken place, but the most telling point from those minutes is that pressures on the current capital budget for the Tweed Valley Hospital, “require a critical review of all aspects of the new build”. Oh dear.

They also reveal that a private entity is looking to establish a PET CT scanning facility for cancer diagnosis and treatment close to the existing Tweed Hospital. The board’s feeling is that such a facility may not be needed at the new hospital now because it will be privately available ‘just a few kilometres away.’

What a budget relief. The notion that Kingscliff is a more central location to serve the health care needs of the Tweed Valley appears

to have flown out the window with that observation.

What else will fall victim to budget imperatives, with a leaked proposal to reduce the NSW Health Department’s spending by 20 per cent over the next 10 years? The promise of free parking is already gone, the bare minimum is to be spent on road upgrades and a multi-storey car park is as yet simply ‘proposed,’ ‘may be staged’ and subject to separate funding if and when it is to go ahead. Geoff Provest’s made so many iron clad promises he’s looking like the Black Knight from Monty Python and The Holy Grail – suffering from just a few flesh wounds, and the builders are off to Bunnings where the lowest costs are guaranteed.

To top this off, it has recently been revealed that the Berejiklian government is facing a $1.3 billion budget blowout for the fault-prone Sydney light rail and a $4.3 billion cost overrun (so far) for the Sydney metro rail project. Let me count the zeroes – that’s $5,600,000,000 over budget, plus $99 million extra for that Sydney football stadium.

All this before the disastrous fires and the hit to tourism and business that they and the coronavirus will bring to NSW government coffers.

Something’s got to give and as usual, truth is the first casualty.

Mark Baxter, Kingscliff

Bogus emissions figures

It has been part of my responsibilities of employment since the late 1980s to analyse and present to the public and students research on climate. It is unwise for Ms Arnell (TVW, Mar 5) to accuse me of making ‘dubious claims’. I don’t.

The 6% figure for our increased emissions comes from the federal Department of Environment. The current government uses several accounting tricks to make it look like they are acting on climate. One is to exclude land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) from emissions data. It is completely bogus since it relies on reduced land clearing (the opposite is the case) and planting mega-forests of trees (in a record drought and having lost 20% of our temperate forests to fire).

Australia’s per capita emissions have indeed fallen slightly but that is mainly because of our unsustainable population growth. In the end it doesn’t matter who individually emitted how much carbon but what the global total is, and we are not pulling our weight.

Ms Arnell has apparently been sucked into one of the climate denialist websites that have dragged

up something James Hansen said in 1988. Last year he said: “a carbon tax is the underlying policy required.

People need energy, we need to make the price of fossil fuels include their cost to society.” This is stating the obvious and if you Google ‘Tony Abbott carbon tax’ on YouTube you will find that in 2011 that is exactly what he recommended. A short moment of clarity.

Alan Watterson, Hastings Point

Fund renewables

ARENA was established by the federal government in 2012 to improve the competitiveness of renewable energy technologies and increase the supply of renewable energy. They do this by providing funding for projects that solve issues, inform policy decisions, and fund projects.

ARENA’s funding is likely to run out by the end of 2020. This week, ARENA CEO fronted Senate Estimates to confirm that ARENA would be forced to enter “Zombie mode”, meaning no new projects, no new developments, and no new technological research.

Federal Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction Angus Taylor’s Technology Roadmap announcement last week is a blow for cheap, clean energy to drive Australia’s economic future.

It ignores the problem and the solutions to the climate crisis.

People want publicly owned renewables that will keep energy bills down, rather than padding the profits of big corporations. If the federal government was serious about technological solutions to the climate crisis, they wouldn’t be letting ARENA funding run dry.

The technological solutions are already here but we are being left behind because of the greed, stubbornness, and deliberate ignorance of the Coalition parties.

Martin Munz, Limpinwood

Cudgen memorial trees

I would like each and every councillor to take the time to view the remaining memorial fig trees on the corner of Cudgen Road and Collier Street, Cudgen. I am not wanting the trees chopped down, just trimmed.

Councillors in 2006 resolved to have 60 per cent of the canopy lopped off the trees. Unfortunately, C o u n c i l d i d n o t fo l l ow t h e Australian standard for pruning and took the whole lopping in one hit. They thought they had killed the trees so they chopped what was left down. This happened to six of the nine trees. I saw what they had

done in 2010 and have been adamant that only 20 per cent be trimmed, not 60 per cent, so they have done very little for the past 10 years on the last three trees.

I know they will have to go eventually and this may happen naturally during a cyclone. As they are memorial trees I have suggested replanting new trees into large inground pots. I have a small tree in a small pot that is only two-metres tall and 30 years old. I also know that similar trees were planted with confined roots along the walkway at Darling Harbour. These trees with confined roots require less maintenance and do less harm than out remaining weeping figs.

I am opposed to the Hawaiian pines being used to replace the figs because they do not comply with Council’s own guidelines. These trees are not impressive like the Norfolk Island pines and as their name suggests, are more suited to memorials to Pearl Harbour veterans rather than our own. There must be another suitable tree, something that does not grow excessively tall and does not have an invasive root system.

Since we have not had a community association for the past 20 years I believe it is time for people to have a voice. I think it could be beneficial if all community groups had a Facebook page where agendas could be discussed and motions voted on by as many people in each community group as possible.

There needs to be some thought given to reintroducing the ward system. We have a concentrated population at Banora, Tweed and Kingscliff and a vast area of small towns and rural villages. It must be hard for councillors to represent such a large and ever-increasing population.

I also believe we need to look at building the Byrill Creek Dam. We could be rationed again if we start to lose the rainwater we are currently receiving because the current dam is finally filled to capacity again.

Our rainfall is largely cyclonic so we always have large fluctuations of water in the dam and this will not change when the wall is eventually raised. A full dam during this period stated still means flooding the town yet again.

Calls for free parking model at new hospital The policy, to which Mr Hazard re f e r re d , i n c l u d e s t h e h e a d i n g “mandatory requirements” and includes rates for all future car parking developments. “ Fo r f u t u r e n e w c a r p a r k i n g development in rural and regional Local Health Districts, fees (including concessional rates for eligible users) will be introduced,” the policy reads.

“The level of fees will be determined on a site-by-site basis.”

The policy was highlighted by Cr Cherry who said she believes Minister Hazard provided councillors with a clear answer to their question.

“That answer is we are getting a paid parking model at the new hospital,” she said.

Cr Cherry pointed out her concerns a paid parking model could have on residents accessing the hospital including financially.

Cr Pryce Allsop raised concerns over Mayor Milne and Cr Cherry’s pursuing of the paid parking model and said he was concerned with whether Mayor Milne can see a better model.

Cr Allsop said he was concerned a free multilevel car park could be used for something other than hospital car parking and suggested resident’s cars or even businesses could be attracted to free parking.

In response, the mayor talked down the idea of people taking advantage of free parking and pointed out the economic impact on residents and visitors to the hospital.

“It’s something I’ve experienced firsthand… and it’s extremely expensive,” she said.

Cr Ron Cooper pointed out several concerns with a paid parking model including its impact on staff and parking throughout Kingscliff.

Mr Searle MP and Mrs Elliot MP are backing calls for the NSW Government to stick to its promise for free parking at the new hospital

Cr James Owen said he supported a free parking model and said it was promised.

“If that’s what been promised by the local member,” he said.

The motion, which was to receive and note Minister Hazard’s letter, was carried with a unanimous vote.

Member for Richmond Justine Elliot has also criticised Mr Provest for his handling of the paid parking promise.

Mrs Elliot was joined by Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council and Shadow Minister for the North Coast Adam Searle MLC recently, to condemn Mr Provest for his “failure to honour his election commitment, made over one year ago, to stop paid parking at the new Tweed Valley Hospital”.

By Jonathon Howard THE TWEED Shire remains in the dark over whether a paid parking model could be introduced at the new Tweed Valley Hospital, according to Mayor Katie Milne, who alongside most Tweed Shire councillors are demanding the State Government stick to its promise of free parking at the new hospital.

Councillors expressed their views over the parking debacle during Council’s monthly meeting at Tweed Heads on Thursday, March 5, with a rare sign of unity across the floor.

Both Mayor Milne and Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry said they had called on the State Government to remain committed to free parking with Cr Cherry concerned the government may have already made its mind up.

In November 2019, Council’s General Manager Troy Green wrote three letters to Member for Tweed Geoff Provest, Deputy Premier John Barilaro and Premier Gladys Berejiklian, calling on the government to commit to its initial plan to offer free parking.

“I am writing to request on behalf of residents of the Tweed Shire that the State Government keeps its commitment to no paid parking at the Tweed Valley Hospital,” the letters read.

Minister for Health, Brad Hazard, responded to the three letters and said the project would consider the Hospital Parking Fee Policy.

“In 2013, NSW Health implemented a Hospital Car Parking Fees Policy,” Mr Hazard said.

“The Tweed Valley Hospital project will consider this policy as it reviews the funding options for car parking at the Tweed Valley Hospital.”

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Major changes coming to residential tenancy laws

Both landlords and tenants need to be aware of the legal implications of new residential tenancy laws that start on 23 March 2020.

The changes are aimed at improving tenants’ rights while also ensuring landlords have better control over managing their properties.

“The aims would appear to be at odds with each other, but changes to the Residential Tenancies Amendment (Review) Act 2018 do more clearly set out the rights and obligations of both tenant and landlord,” said Kelly Brown of Stacks Law Firm.

“For instance, landlords are required to provide rental property that is fit for habitation. The changes set seven minimum standards to clarify the meaning of the term ‘fit for habitation’.”

They include that the property must be structurally sound, provide privacy in the toilet and bathrooms and supply hot and cold water and adequate lighting, ventilation, power and plumbing.

Smoke alarms must be installed and maintained by the landlord.

“Under the changes, landlords must meet these standards throughout the tenancy, and do repairs as required. Water use costs can only be passed on to the tenant if they are separately metered. All leaks must be fixed and water efficiency devices installed.

“One of the major changes that could produce clashes is that from 23 March tenants can make ‘minor’ alterations to the property which the landlord can’t refuse if they are reasonable.

“The new regulation lists such alterations as installing childproof latches and gates, fly screens and security cameras, hanging pictures and connecting phone lines or computer cables.

“There are all sorts of conditions applied to these ‘minor’ alterations, but tenants are still responsible for any damage they cause. When tenants leave, they are still required to leave the property as they found it, except for fair wear and tear.”

Rent increases must be limited to one per year once the fixed term has passed. The changes set fees when a tenant breaks a fixed-term agreement of three years or less early. For example, four weeks’ rent is payable if less than a quarter of the lease had expired.

Couple devastated after dog’s death

By Jo Kennett A CABARITA couple have been left traumatised after their toy poodle was killed by another dog at a Cabarita cafe on Monday, March 2.

Annette North said her husband was sitting outside against the wall with a friend when the attack took place.

“They had coffee and my husband had been nursing our poodle Alexander on his lap, then he put him down on the ground at his feet,” Mrs North said.

“He was on his lead and was sitting in against the brick wall when a couple came along. They both had a dog and they were on leads.

“Alexander barked and the dog, the girl had, pulled and dived straight down to Alexander; it’s collar came off.”

The attack took place on a veranda with tables from the cafe either side of where the couple were walking through.

“It’s very narrow and she was trying to pull him away,” Mrs North said.

“It’s got him around the throat and that was it. There was a lot of shouting, but my husband said it was all over very quickly, it was probably about 20 seconds.

“My husband was punching the dog, but it wouldn’t let go but it eventually did, and she grabbed the dog and off they went.”

One of the cafe staff, a former vet nurse, took Alexander straight to the nearby Tweed Coast Vet where Mrs North met her husband.

“The vet said Alexander’s heart was still pumping but he wasn’t breathing,” she said.

“He had some blood coming from his mouth, but his tongue was black and blue. Then he let out a big sigh of breath and that was it.

“We went back to the cafe to find out whether the people had come back and they hadn’t; they’d just gone.”

The incident was reported to the Tweed Shire Council Ranger who is investigating.

Mrs North said they had obtained CCTV footage of the couple walking the dog.

“That dog was too strong for the girl,” she said.

“The images of her before and after the attack you can see the dog is pulling her and her arm is fully extended trying to hold him.

“After the attack it was the same; they

went around in front of the pub and up the path. I’d say they were parked up the headland.

“They walked along the middle of the road and walking back they came around the front of the hotel and through the middle of the cafe instead of being down on the footpath.”

Mrs North said she was speaking out because people had a responsibility to know the capabilities of their dogs.

“My husband is 76 and Alexander was my 70th birthday present to him,” she said.

“If you are going to have a dog you have to be able to manage and hold it and be thoughtful of other people.

There is training, and you could have the dog muzzled. If you have a dog that has that capability, do something about it to make sure it won’t attack another dog just because it barks.”

Mrs North said their lives had revolved around Alexander.

“We’d get up in the morning and take him out for a walk, then go back to bed with a cup of tea,” she said.

“Then my husband wandered across about 9am for the paper, and a walk, and a coffee, and then we would feed him at 5pm every day, and then walk around to the park.

“My husband can’t walk that far; he has had a stroke. I’d take Alexander to the beach for a walk.

“After dinner my husband would walk him every day while I cooked dinner. The routine of our lives was around him, they become your children.”

Mrs North said her husband was distraught about the attack.

“During the week one morning I woke up and asked if he’d been awake long. He said he’d been awake about three hours.

I asked why, and he said: I kept thinking about what I could have done, what I should have done,”she said.

Mrs North said she and her husband had decided to get away for a while to try and recover.

The changes also affect real estate agents and property managers. From 23 March property managers must have separate rental and sales trust accounts. Only the licensee in charge will be able to approve trust account transactions.

Information disclosure laws will be tightened on 23 March. Tenancy database operators can’t charge tenants to access their own personal information and landlords must give tenants copies of strata scheme by-laws.

“With all these changes, it would be wise for both landlords and tenants to get legal advice on where they stand if any disputes arise,” Ms Brown said.

In brief ...

Lane closure on Scenic Drive One lane of Scenic Drive, near Gull Place, Tweed Heads West, will be closed for two weeks from Monday 23 March as contractors repair a landslip, weather permitting.

The closure may cause significant disruption to traffic flow as there are no practical detours available.

If possible, motorists are urged to travel via Bilambil Road and Terranora Road to access the Pacific Motorway, Tweed Heads and Gold Coast areas. If using Scenic Drive, please plan your trip and leave early to avoid the stress of likely delays.

Meanwhile, Leisure Drive nightworks have been delayed due to rain.

Tweed Shire Council’s Recreation Planner Jodie Hewett (standing right) with the Junior Park Planning Team from St Joseph’s Primary School.

Check out what the kids want at free park fun day Council wants to know what the community thinks of the draft concept plan for Jack Chard Park developed by a team of Year 5 students from St Joseph’s Primary School.

The concept plan will be available to view at a free family fun day and barbecue on Saturday 21 March at the park from 10am to 12pm.

Come along and provide your comments on the open green space, room for ball games and spaces and places to meet and play with friends as requested by the students.

The concept plan also provides for newly planted trees, seating with backs and arm rests for older residents, improved walkway access and kids outdoor fitness and play equipment as requested via 110 local resident submissions to a survey.

“We wanted to design a recreational space that local children and residents would be proud of and want to use,” Manager Parks and

Active Communities Stewart Brawley said.

“We pulled together a Junior Park Planning Team of eight Year 5 students who led a community engagement event in the park late last year for primary school children.

“They got ideas for improving the park from more than 180 children who voted for their favourite features and activities.”

The concept plan they have developed is for a neighbourhood park that is functional, attractive and accessible to young and old.

The $107,000 park upgrade and children’s outdoor fitness equipment has been funded by the NSW Government’s My Community Project.

For catering purposes, bookings are essential and can be made online at jackchardparkfreefamilyfunday.eventbrite.com.au or by phoning (02) 6670 2530.

Have the Emergency Services got your number?

Could the police, ambulance or fire brigade find your house in an emergency?

The police tell us they have great difficulty finding the right address in the Tweed, particularly at Banora Point and Kingscliff, because property street numbers are either not displayed, missing or obscured.

Property owners have a legal obligation to display the correct house number on their building or fence fronting the street, pursuant to Section 124 Para. 8 of the Local Government Act 1993.

They can also paint their street number on the vertical face of the kerb, or the front sloping face of a rollover-type kerb. But please note if the kerb is damaged or removed and replaced at any time, Council has no obligation to paint the number on again.

Can you help Emergency Services find your place by displaying your street number on your house, fence or kerb next to your driveway?

To help you, Council has a limited number of metal number plates (and mounting brackets for rural customers) to give away. These are of variable quality but are 100mm high and legible. They can be fixed using glue, nails or metal screws (or brackets). Numbers can be picked up at Council front counters at both Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah this month.

Raised pump station platform on Tree Street, Bray Park.

Have your say on pump station platform finishes Help Emergency Services find your place by displaying your street number on your house, fence or kerb next to your driveway.

If you would prefer to purchase your own street number plates, these are available at many commercial outlets. Please buy numbers that can be easily seen and read from the street.

If you want to paint your number on the kerb, please make sure the background is white reflective and the lettering black and that no paint goes down the drain.

Beware, fox traps set and active at Fingal Head

Tweed River

Fingal

Fox trapping area

Council will start trapping foxes at Fingal Head this week after recent surveys and monitoring found it to be a fox hotspot.

Soft-jaw traps have been set on the Tweed Coast Regional Crown Reserve at Fingal Head and will remain active for two weeks.

Trapping the foxes is necessary to protect native fauna, including threatened birds such as Pied Oyster-catchers and Beach Stone-curlews.

The two-week trapping season could be extended if too few foxes are caught.

Signs have been placed at all entrances to the trapping site.

Residents and visitors are asked not to enter these areas and not allow pets to enter these areas. Any domestic pets caught in traps will be taken to Council’s interim pound.

For more information on how to protect pets, livestock and information on fox control, visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Foxes Left: The trapping area is adjacent to Wommin Lagoon, Fingal.

Living and loving the Tweed

Council is seeking community feedback on the design of three elevated sewer pump station platforms to be erected in floodprone areas of the shire.

The existing submersible switchboards at the pump stations are prone to failure during floods and will be replaced with conventional switchboards housed in cabinets built on elevated platforms above the 2017 flood level.

The elevated platforms will replace existing ground-mounted cabinets at H.E Hartmann Park, River Street, Murwillumbah; Old Convent Road, Uki and, Kyogle Road, Uki. Council would like to know what colour the community wants these platforms painted and any other treatment that could be applied to make them ‘disappear’ in the landscape.

Lucky to walk away after horror crash

By Jo Kennett THE VICTIMS of a horrific accident caused by a vehicle travelling the wrong way on the Pacific Motorway at Duranbah on Sunday, March 8, were lucky to escape serious injury.

Tweed Police said an officer that tried to stop the vehicle was also lucky not to have been killed.

Rescue crews were called to the accident at 7.42am, with reports of persons trapped after a serious collision involving three vehicles.

Tweed Police said a red Commodore was seen travelling at about 100km/hr northbound in the southbound lanes of the highway.

Police tried to alert the female driver but before they could, her vehicle crashed into two other vehicles travelling south.

The first was an Isuzu D-MAX dual-cab ute towing a trailer, which swerved to avoid the oncoming Commodore and ended up on its side against the outside guard rail.

The other vehicle, a Toyota Camry, is

believed to have clipped the Isuzu as it swerved and crashed. Police said the drivers and passengers of the two vehicles suffered only minor injuries.

The Commodore ended up on top of the inside guardrail and was a write-off.

Tweed District Rescue Squad VRA President Drew Carr said that when his team of volunteers arrived on the scene, they found none of the vehicle’s occupants were trapped and were being treated by paramedics.

Police said the female driver of the red Commodore was transported to Gold Coast University Hospital with facial injuries.

The two lanes southbound were closed for just over an hour and police are investigating the circumstances of the collision.

Police said they were thankful that the police officer who tried to alert the woman driving the Commodore and other drivers and passengers were not killed.

The accident occurred just south of the Duranbah tunnel.

POLICE BEAT

High-range drink driver nabbed A 68-YEAR-OLD man was nabbed for drink driving at Commercial Road, Murwillumbah, on Thursday, March 6, after he blew almost three times the legal alcohol limit.

Tweed Police said it was about 8.45pm when the man was pulled over for a random breath test which he failed.

“The accused was arrested and taken to Murwillumbah Police Station where he was submitted to a breath analysis that returned a result of 0.145 grams of alcohol in 210 litres of breath,” police said.

“His licence was immediately suspended.”

The man is scheduled to front Murwillumbah Court on Thursday, March 19.

Call for locals to support Tweed tourism industry

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE tourism operators are urging locals to get out and enjoy what the beautiful Tweed Shire has to offer by booking a local tour, accommodation or activity.

While overall bookings in the Tweed may have eased slightly - due to a reduction in overseas visitors, - but local bookings remain strong and are serving as a lifeline to many tourism operators.

Mt Warning Tours have one of the largest fleets of Tweed river cruise ships in the shire and has grown into a premium tourism operator offering Tweed Hinterland food and farm tours and soft adventure activities including kayak tours.

Mt Warning Tours co-director Milton Simmons has taken the reins of the operation for several weeks while Michael Simmons co-owner of Mount Warning Tours is overseas.

Milton said the tourism industry was feeling the pinch following several major events across Australia including the devastating bushfires, the recent big wet and now fears surrounding COVID-19.

“There’s been a bit of a dip at the start of the year,” Milton said.

“But we’re beginning to pick up with some solid local bookings already this week.”

A ban on Chinese visitors has done little to impact the Tweed tourism market and Milton said it was fortunate that locals and Gold Coast visitors were coming to the rescue.

“I think to a certain extent the Chinese travel ban, and the decrease in flights from other key markets such as South Korea, has definitely disrupted the activities of some of our local tourism operators” he said.

“But domestically we’re finding it’s beginning to pick up and I think local bookings are really welcomed.”

M i l t o n s a i d h e wa n t e d t o encourage locals to book with tourism operators in the region and experience the beauty of the Tweed.

“Holidaying here this year is a great option, as we really do live in an amazing part of the world,” he said.

“And I’d like to encourage locals and visitors to experience the Tweed Shire and show their support for small local businesses by booking a cruise or a tour, some local accommodation or an activity.”

Tweed Tourism Company General Manager Brad Nardi also recently wrote in his monthly column for The Weekly (February 27, page 17) that the tourism industry was “working through challenges”.

Mr Nardi also urged locals to band together and “keep being as productive and positive as we can”.

Tweed Tourism Co has teamed up with Destination NSW’s tourism recovery campaign, Now’s the Time to Love NSW, which encourages travellers to experience NSW and share their memories online.

NSW Labor Leader Jodi McKay has laid out Labor’s plan to support small businesses struggling with the impact of COVID-19 and has

The Dream Catcher joined the Mt Warning Tours fleet recently with the crew inset. Photos by Ryan Fowler

accused the Berejiklian Government of ignoring the strained small business sector.

Labor is now calling for the creation of a one-off minimum $30 million hardship fund, that would deliver up to $50,000 in support to businesses struggling with the impact of COVID-19.

M r s M c Kay s a i d d u e t o misinformation and fear of the virus has taken hold in parts of NSW. “Some small businesses are seeing

a 50 to 90 per cent collapse in trading and facing the very real prospect of closure or staff reductions,” she said.

Labor’s small business relief plan would let small businesses ask for grants or loans to affected small businesses to maintain cash flow and ensure continued trading, payment of staff and suppliers.

It also includes options to defer or waive payroll tax, defer or waive land tax, defer or waive council rates, defer, waive or reimburse of

utility rates and waive fees like liquor and other dining or entertainmentrelated licenses.

In addition, Labor called on the State Government to continue to waive local land services rates and commercial fishing management fees Financial mentoring or vouchers for financial advice was also listed as priority.

The Federal Government is yet to announce its full plan to assist small businesses.

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE residents are being urged by local pharmacists to make the flu vaccine a priority this month and lessen the burden on the public healthcare system.

Although the vaccine is not effective to prevent COVID-19, Tweed residents can help reduce the number of influenza cases and make life easier for healthcare workers.

Tweed Shire pharmacists are expected to receive the flu shot late this week or early next week.

Pharmacists can also now vaccinate people aged 10 years and over in NSW. Varela and Swift Pharmacy co-owner Skye Swift said there was a strong need to minimise the number of flu transmissions wherever possible.

“We have all our staff accredited and residents can simply turn up, fill out a consent form and get the shot,” she said.

Mrs Swift said the most helpful way to prevent the spread of both the flu and COVID-19 was to adopt good handwashing techniques.

“It’s vital that you wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water,” she said.

“You should also prevent touching your face including mouth and eyes.”

Mrs Swift said anyone with flu-like symptoms should call their doctor ahead first.

“This is extremely important, people should call ahead first if they show symptoms,” she said.

“We don’t want to spread infections in hospitals, medical centres or pharmacies.”

Murwillumbah Priceline Pharmacist Lisa Adams said the staff were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the flu shots.

“I would predict they will arrive in the coming weeks and will be made available immediately,” she said.

“I would like to encourage residents to take up the flu shot, as it will assist in reducing the burden on the healthcare system.”

Mrs Adams said the pharmacy has received a lot of enquiries about the flu vaccine, but no cases of flu at this stage.

“We have made a significant order for the flu shots and we’re prepared once they arrive,” she said.

Last year’s record-breaking flu season claimed a staggering 902 lives and infected more than 313,000 people nationally.

In NSW, 111,710 people were infected with influenza and at the time of print there had been more than 90 coronavirus cases and three deaths in Australia.

NBN finally connected at Bogangar Take a coastal walk

By Jo Kennett AFTER YEARS of waiting and dealing with frustratingly slow or no internet, residents of Bogangar are finally stepping into the 21st century with the arrival this month of the NBN. The NBN rollout has been plagued by delays. In early June 2018, almost a year after the initial promised rollout date, NBN Co told The Weekly that Bogangar was “still on track to be ready for service at the end of this month, June 2018”.

The delays, and assurances it was almost there, kept coming until a month ago when residents in several areas were notified that it would be connected by the end of March 2020.

Cabarita resident Geoff Wakely has been connected already and told The Weekly the NBN speed at his home on Friday Island was “good”.

“I did a speed test as soon as I got home and it was 45Megabits per second (Mbps),” Mr Wakely said.

“We have been waiting for years and years; we could get ADSL 2, but the speeds were consistently below 4Mbps.

“It was so slow, so painful and I rang and complained several times and they said that’s within the limits of what you are paying for.

“Sometimes it would be 2Mbps a second, it was pathetic.

“We could watch catch up TV, but it would stop and re-buffer.”

Mr Wakely said he had spoken to Telstra representatives outside Bogangar Woolworths about a month ago.

“They said they would change us over and connect the NBN, but they didn’t know when it was going to be there and they didn’t know what the speeds would be,” he said.

“Then we had notification that we would be connected on March 7.

“It’s good now, the speed is ten times faster.

“My wife was just watching catch up TV and it was seamless; the pages load instantaneously.

“I was very hesitant because the Telstra people at Woolies were young sales people and they didn’t know anything about the tech side, they were just there to sign people up, and they didn’t know when it would arrive or what the speeds would be.

“They were going to turn the other one off anyway and I just thought I’d go to mobile broadband if it wasn’t any good but it’s good.”

Despite being happy with the internet speed, Mr Wakely said he thought the rollout of the NBN left a lot to be desired.

“I think it’s pathetic that we’ve wasted so many billions of dollars and the new 5G is supposed to be faster but imagine how much quicker it would be if we had fibre to the home,” Mr Wakely said.

“We’ve wasted billions.”

Federal MP Justine Elliot, who convened NBN crisis meetings on the coast, said the “Liberal National Government has failed to deliver on the NBN for Australians especially in regional areas such as the NSW North Coast”.

“Locals constantly tell me they cannot get any decent internet access,” Ms Elliot said.

“There are very slow speeds and lots of buffering.

“The prolonged NBN connection delays across the coastal towns like Hastings Point and Cabarita is totally unacceptable and this has caused

for a great cause

ongoing difficulties for local residents and small businesses.

“After the years of inaction and delay, finally the rollout across Cabarita and Hastings has started, yet many locals have approached me as they still are unable to connect to the NBN. This situation must be urgently fixed.

“The Liberal National government promised to deliver the NBN for $29.5 billion. then it became $41 billion, then $49 billion.

“To date the NBN roll-out costs have blown to $51 billion, yet as costs continue to escalate our internet service continues to decline.

“Australia is now ranked 68th in the world for internet speeds and ranks fourth last in the OECD, well behind counties such as Estonia, Slovakia and Poland.

“I urge anyone who is experiencing NBN connection problems to contact my office.”

THE KINGSCLIFF Coast Charity Walk is on again this Saturday, March 14, to raise urgently needed funds for the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter.

It is the third year for the fundraiser, formerly the Tweed Coast Charity Walk, which starts from Ambrose Brown Park, Pottsville, with walkers able to choose from three distances: Lions Park, Cabarita (7km), Salt SLSC (15km) and Family Park, Fingal (24km).

Spokesperson for the Rescue Helicopter Service, Zeke Huish said the walk was very important as a fundraiser for the vital service.

“The sound of the Rescue Helicopter’s beating blades is a welcome one for those in critical need but it is the community and those who take part in these types of fundraising events that help to ensure the Service can be on standby to save lives,” Mr Huish said.

“This is a fully supported event with participants receiving a walk cap, a medal when they cross the finish lines, water and food stations, a microchipped event bib for timing and endless encouragement from our staff and volunteers on the day to help walkers to reach the finish line.

“It is a great morning out with participants able to enter individually or in teams of two to 20 people.

“In past years we have even seen entrants enter in fancy dress even which makes for a fun day for everyone.”

To find out more or to pre-register visit www. coastalcharitywalk.com.au with entry accepted on the day.

Ms Hedley said she has “lost all faith in this process” and she fears compliance is not being policed.

“I am taking my concerns to the media, in the hope that at some point, someone will answer our unanswered and legitimate concerns,” she said.

In response, the HI spokesperson said: “all work at the Tweed Valley Hospital site at 771 Cudgen Road, Cudgen is being undertaken in accordance with the approved Stage 1 State Significant Development (SSD - 9575) approval”.

“The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment undertake ongoing inspections at the Tweed Valley Hospital project site to ensure compliance with the development approval and conditions of consent,” the spokesperson said.

“Early works documentation and reports are all publicly available on the project website, http://www.tweedvalleyhospital.health.nsw. gov.au/delivery/early-works/early-worksdocuments.

“To enable the construction of the new hospital, Health Infrastructure lodged its Stage 2 SSD application and Modification 2 to Concept Proposal with the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment on Friday, September 27.

“The public exhibition period closed on November 8, 2019. Health Infrastructure is working to finalise a comprehensive Response to Submissions Report and a range of supplementary information to address questions raised by the community and government agencies.

“This report will be issued to Department of Planning, Industry and Environment in the coming month for their review.”

The hospital is scheduled to open to patients in 2023, according to HI.

AFTER NEARLY five decades as a local Justice of the Peace (JP) and a Life Member of Tweed Valley Justices Association (TVJA), Helen Maria Sant (pictured) announced her retirement as a community desk volunteer recently.

Helen was the original secretary of the TVJA, which formed in 1998 to coordinate the community desks and to help keep JPs in the area better informed of all the changes to the rules and regulations related to Justices of the Peace.

Helen was also vice president for many years but is not retiring her duties as welfare officer which will keep her in touch with members.

She will remain a member of TVJA with the title JP Retired.

TVJA is now calling for new members to assist with the continuing of the three

community desks at Tweed Mall, Tweed City and Murwillumbah Sunnyside.

“New members are required for only three hours a month,” TVJA secretary Irene Rainey said.

“Membership is also a great way to keep up to date with news from the NSW Justice Department on changes to our duties.”

By Jonathon Howard COMMUNITY CONCERNS that Health Infrastructure (HI) is “brazenly forging ahead” with works at the Tweed Valley Hospital site at Cudgen without approval have been quashed by HI this week.

A spokesperson for HI responded to several questions from The Weekly which had raised resident’s concerns about onsite works (pictured).

HI has sought to assure residents it’s all above board and the hospital site is also undergoing inspections by The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.

“There have been no noted breaches of the development approval or conditions,” a HI spokesperson told The Weekly.

Earlier this week, concerned local Kristie Hedley was calling for further questioning of HI after she was concerned works were being undertaken outside of the hospital’s approvals.

Ms Hedley the proponent currently has approval for Stage 1 works which include two ground level car parks.

“The approval is for two gently terraced ground level car parks,” she said.

“My friend Lindy Smith has previously written with (alleged) evidence, of the construction of the multilevel car park having begun, despite the fact that this car park is part of the Stage 2 application which has not yet received approval (indeed the applicant has not even responded to submissions nor even given a time frame for when they will do so).

“Also attached are photos I took yesterday that clearly show the massive earthwork cuts that have been made and the piling type structures that have been erected on the western site of the proposed multi-storey car park.”

By Jo Kennett TWEED SHIRE Council says it has a range of powers that can be used in the case of a dog attack, depending on the seriousness of the attack.

The statement comes after a toy poodle was attacked and killed by another dog outside a popular cafe in Cabarita (read more on page 6).

Council's Ranger Team Leader, Nicholas Harrigan, said that “the owner or responsible person of an attacking dog is guilty of an offence under section 16 of the Companion Animals Act 1998.

“Where it has been proven that a dog, without provocation or other reasonable excuse provided for in section 16(2) of the Act, has attacked a person or animal,” Mr Harrigan said.

“When determining the most proportional enforcement action taken against an offender a range of factors are taken into account including the seriousness of the offence, severity and scale of harm, community expectations and public interest, compliance history of the attacking animal and the likelihood of continued or repeated attacks occurring.

“In many instances the owner of an attacking animal chooses to have their dog euthanased voluntarily, however this often depends on the seriousness of the attack.

“While Council does have the power to make application to the Court seeking a Destruction Order of an attacking dog, there are certain thresholds that must be met first.”

Mr Harrigan said the enforcement options generally available under the Act include: no action; a formal caution; a monetary fine prosecution with a maximum fine imposed by the Court of $11,000 per offence or $44,000 for a dangerous, menacing or restricted dog per offence; attacking dog determined to be a Dangerous Dog under section 34 of the Act; Power by Court to issue a Destruction Order under section 48 of the Act.

Mr Harrigan said rangers will continue to conduct patrols throughout the Tweed “where enforcement action will be taken where an offence has been detected”.

“Council does not propose to implement any new animal management policy, rather we will continue to promote responsible pet ownership throughout the Tweed to ensure pet owners are aware of their obligations under relevant laws,” he said.

“Like all states and territories, the NSW Parliament is responsible for all NSW legislation including any proposed amendments to the Companion Animals Act 1998 and associated regulations.

“Tweed Shire Council is appointed as a “local authority” under the Act and is therefore responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Act for the Tweed Shire as is the same for all councils throughout NSW. “The Companion Animals Act 1998 exists for a range of reasons that are determined by the NSW Parliament in consultation with a range of stakeholders including local and State Government, community and industry.

Importantly, laws under the Act create a number of rights and obligations on citizens, in particular pet owners.”

Concerns for train line protection

By Jo Kennett LOCAL ACTION groups continue to wrestle over the future of the Murwillumbah to Casino rail corridor with the Northern Rivers Railway Action Group (NRRAG) expressing renewed concerns that legislative changes to allow for the rail trail could result in the corridor being sold off.

However, members of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail Incorporated (NRRT) said the change in legislation would “only allow for construction of the rail trail” and have quashed concerns around a sell-off.

The matter was discussed during a meeting with Tweed Shire Council Mayor Katie Milne and Ballina MP Tamara Smith on Friday, February 21.

“NRRT understands there needs to be a change in the transport legislation to allow construction of the trail,” NRRT secretary Geoff Meers said.

“We also understand the legislation change will be similar to that for the Tumbarumba trail, due to open early April.

“This bill closed the rail line and ensured the land could only be used for a rail trail and could not be sold for other purposes.

“There is no possibility of the land being sold for commercial use, that would be contrary to the legislation.”

NRRAG chairperson Beth Shelley said the group remain concerned about plans to introduce a change to the legislation that protects the Casino to Murwillumbah railway line.

“Rail Trail project officer Iain Lonsdale explained to us that Tweed Shire Council

staff have focused on a design concept for the Tweed rail trail that means removing the railway tracks or covering them over,” Ms Shelly said.

“This will require a change to legislation in order to be legal.

“Some time ago, Tweed councillors decided to also look at placing the rail trail off formation, which means next to the tracks, but no funding was allocated to look at this other option.

“Iain said they thought it might cost more to put it next to the tracks instead of on top of the rail formation and it was a cost issue.

“However, both Katie and Tamara believed there were opportunities for more funding to be found if it meant keeping the current protection of the railway line.”

Tamara Smith offered to organise a time for Mayor Milne and the Tweed General Manager Troy Green to attend a meeting in Sydney with the NSW Minister for Transport and Infrastructure.

Scott Sledge, president of the community group Northern Rivers Guardians Inc, said he was very happy that Mayor Milne and member for Ballina Tamara Smith were looking for positive solutions.

“The meeting reached consensus to retain the option for future use of the rail corridor for public transport by requiring the land to continue under Transport Department control,” he said.

“If the tracks are removed it is likely the land will be sold off in sections for commercial development and future generations will be denied the chance to have public transport in this area.”

Protestors calling for the trains to return

NRRT responded to Mr Sledge’s concerns and said its members understand that when Tweed Shire Council goes to tender for the rail trail project, it will accept bids for either on or off formation construction.

“That tender process should ensure the best outcome for the community,” Mr Meers said.

“Work undertaken by NRRT engineers indicates it is practical to build beside the formation in between only 10-20 per cent of the corridor, primarily around station sites.

“The current rail corridor cannot meet the public transport needs of most of Tweed Shire.

“If Northern Rivers Guardians are really concerned about public transport, they should be seeking government support for better services to and from Tweed City and along the coast.

“It is unrealistic to expect the Government to invest in an expensive rail service that supports a fraction of the community.”

Car ends up in the river A TWO vehicle accident has resulted in one vehicle travelling down an embankment and ending up submerged in the Tweed River on Kyogle Road past Uki on Tuesday, March 10.

Murwillumbah station firefighters responded to the accident and said the occupants of both vehicles had exited.

“They were being transported to hospital by NSW Ambulance,” firefighters posted online.

“Due to this river being the main water supply for the Tweed Shire, the HAZMAT van from Fire and Rescue NSW Station 468 Tweed Heads attended to assist.

“Utilising an inflatable boat from the State Emargency Service firefighters set up absorbent booms around the vehicle to contain any leaks that had the potential to contaminate the waterway.”

A vehicle ended up in the Tweed River following a two vehicle accident on Tuesday evening. A HAZMAT team was deployed to prevent chemicals spreading (inset). Images by Murwillumbah firefighters

Uki school’s oldest student to join 125 year celebrations

By Jo Kennett UKI PUBLIC School is turning 125 this year on June 6-7 and one very special guest will be joining former-students and the local community for a weekend of reunions.

The weekend will also include a Saturday night dance at the Uki Hall, ArtPost exhibitions, school displays, perfor mances and historical displays.

Gladys Phillips (nee Buxton), 99, is the oldest living former student of the school and she will have just turned 100 on the reunion weekend.

Gladys grew up on a dairy and banana farm at Smith’s Creek Road, near Robert’s Bridges at Uki and was enrolled at the school in 1928.

“I was seven and seven months when I started; I couldn’t start earlier because I had to be old enough to ride a horse to school,” she said.

“My brother George was the oldest, then Ray, then me and then (sister) Marj.

“There were about half a dozen of us that rode up Smiths Creek from farms to school including the Taylors and Haydens.

Mrs Phillips doubled her younger sister Marj to school to start with.

“There were two rooms at the school, and I had about half a dozen in my class,” she told The Weekly.

“It was a good school. Our teacher had a long rod to point at the blackboard and you got a tap on

the head for not listening, but I only got tapped once.”

Mrs Phillips celebrates her birthday on Wednesday, June 3.

“It was King George’s birthday and I always got a holiday from school,” she said.

“I went through to seventh class and left school at 14.”

When she left school, Mrs Phillips stayed on the farm to help milk the cows because her two brothers had gone to war.

The Buxtons moved from Smiths Creek to a house behind the school where young Gladys Buxton got a job at the butchers in Uki. “I started at Mrs Imesons at Uki and I got ten shillings a week (about $41 a week by today’s standards),” she said.

“They used to have a dance every Saturday night at the Uki Hall and I made my debut there a few days before I turned 16 on May 19.

“We were all very good dancers; my brothers were very good dancers, so I became a good dancer.

“They’d start up with Roll out the Barrels and you’d be quick-stepping around.

After that Mrs Phillips got a job at Freers Café in Surfers Paradise.

“Don Phillips owned a wholesale store in Murwillumbah, and I met him on a blind date,” she said.

“He got me the job at Freers because he used to go up with deliveries

“I got two pound something and food and accommodation.

“Then Don and I got married in Murwillumbah and we had four children: Des, Barry, Johnny and Colleen.”

Mrs Phillips became well known in the Fingal Head area after she and Don bought the general store.

“Barry was ten months old when we bought Fingal Store,” she said.

“I ran the shop and we had a taxi and I was the taxi driver.

“My oldest son Des was very good in the shop too.

“It was very busy; I had a couple of girls that helped me and the kids.”

“The shop was open from 6am to about 8pm,” daughter Colleen said.

“We had a bell and you would just sit down to dinner and the bell would ring.”

Mrs Phillips said there were a lot of South Sea Islanders in Fingal.

“They did vegie picking and some worked on the sand mining,” she said.

“The people that lived on the farms came and picked them up and took them to places like Terranora to pick crops.

“All the pickers stopped in on their way to work and we had the newsagent and delivered papers and did the milk run.

“Don worked on the sand mining at Cudgen and Fingal, he was a shift boss.”

Uki Public School Captains Maddie Burns and Eva Tiffen with Sally Garrington, Gladys Phillips, Colleen Johnson and Jackie McDonald

The Phillips also had oyster leases including one at Brunswick Heads.

“Don would drive down there, we always had a car,” Mrs Phillips said.

“It was busy, but we had a good life. Everybody was friendly.”

Mrs Phillips visited Uki Public School in November where she was interviewed by students Eva Barlow and Luca Szandala.

They found out the Buxton’s house was on Rowlands Creek Rd where the school car park is now, later known as Milsom’s house.

The Department of Education purchased the house from the Milsom family in order to provide more playground area for the school.

M r s P h i l l i p s n i e c e Ja c k i e McDonald said that when she heard about the 125th anniversary she recalled the 100 year anniversary.

“My Uncle Ray Buxton from Singleton came up and joined his

two sisters, Marjorie and Gladys and we all attended the celebration,” Ms McDonald said.

“Sadly, my Dad, George Buxton, their older brother (always known as Snowy) had died the year prior.

“I purchased a brick and engraved Dad’s name into it, so he was there in some way.

“All four Buxton children attended Uki school in the 1920s.

“While Uncle Ray and Aunty Marjorie have since passed, Aunty Gladys is still going strong and walks without a walker or cane”.

A spokesperson from the school said they were “really looking forward to having Gladys and family join us for the school’s 125-year anniversary celebration.”

Debate around Rural Land Strategy continues Lions Youth of the Year

By Jonathon Howard FOURTH GENERATION farmer Colin Brooks has raised concerns around a recent meeting to discuss the Draft Rural Land Strategy which he says is “failing to understand” the needs of the Tweed’s modern farmers.

Mr Brooks has long campaigned for Tweed Shire Council’s Rural Land Strategy document to allow secondary detached dwellings on rural land.

“My family have been living and farming in the Tweed Shire for six generations, so I believe that I am adequately qualified to make some meaningful comment,” Mr Brooks wrote to The Weekly.

“Mayor Milne’s comments (TVW March 5) show a total lack of understanding of the economic and social realities of farming in the Tweed Shire, particularly in the RU2 zoned land, much of which has very questionable agricultural capabilities.

“Mayor Milne should be aware of the detailed study that was done by the government’s own Soil Conservation Department, as it was then known, that clearly indicated those soil types that were productive and those that had medium and high limitations for farming.

“The fallacy that is promulgated that the Tweed Shire is some massively rich volcanic farming area because it is in the caldera of an extinct volcano shows a total ignorance of geology and soil formation science.

“It takes a lot more than high rainfall to ensure agricultural viability.”

Mr Brooks questioned how allowing another dwelling on a farm can be “an individual short term benefit”

when that dwelling will be there for the benefit of generations of landowners.

“The impacts, if any, will be nowhere near what the scaremongers are predicting, as, historically, there are many rural properties that already have more than one dwelling, so of course they will not be eligible for anymore,” he said.

Following the meeting with landholders, Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry told The Weekly she feels councillors have listened to the rural landholders.

“Particularly the primary producers that our shire’s history is built on and come to a position to support secondary dwellings on rural lands. It’s a big win for the community,” she said.

However, councillors have not agreed to provide secondary dwellings on all RU1 and RU2 zoned properties, which has many landholders concerned.

“To move forward we need to work out the no-go zones, where secondary dwellings would work and where they wouldn’t,” Cr Cherry said.

“To have some of the rural representatives now come out and say they want a 200-square metre home permissible on all rural lots, regardless of size, after we have agreed to what they wanted before, sends a message that it will never be enough, and their primary focus is not agriculture, but subdivision for more housing across our farms.”

Cr Cherry said rural landowners can currently use rural workers dwellings to help them get more workers on the farm, or tourist cabins if they want to make a secondary income from the farm.

“The Rural Land Strategy looks into making both of these easier to achieve,” she said.

“Let’s look at how to support farmers in these ways rather than cutting up our farmland and sterilising it from agricultural use in the future for the short-term gain of a few.

“With the current COVID-19 virus scenario, we need to think about what is best going to get food on the table for our families, all of our families, including those in our urban areas and Council’s way of going forward is the best way to ensure this.”

Mr Brooks said the rural landscape of the Tweed is very much valued.

“But it is what it is today because of the efforts of successive generations of rural landowners who have allowed the very significant regeneration of native species and have battled with the invasion of camphor laurel and other exotic species,” he said.

“Incidentally, massive seed banks of these weed pests are now being protected, by Tweed Shire Council, along the rural roads, under the guise of habitat protection.

“The cost of this battle is very significant, both financially and in terms of the physical effort required.

“These costs, for environmental and public benefit, have been borne by the landowner.

“Income from a second dwelling and or assistance from family members living in those dwellings is important for the sustainability of agriculture and the rural landscape.

“It is time that those who oppose changes produce some facts to support their unsubstantiated claims.

“The issue of extra housing is just one of the shortcomings with the Rural Land Strategy.

“The failure of Tweed Shire Council to adequately address these issues will

A GROUP of outstanding local students have recently faced off in the NAB-sponsored Lions Youth of the Year competition with plenty of pressure on the judges this year.

The students took part in a range of activities including public speaking presentations in front of an enthusiastic gathering of Murwillumbah Lions Club members, family, friends and high school representatives.

Murwillumbah Lions Club member Bob Watson said the five youths were from three local high schools.

“After being subjected to two impromptu questions, each youth delivered a five-minute prepared speech with subjects that included immigration, leadership and the importance of our oceans,” Mr Watson said.

Chairman of the judges panel Patsy Lucas together with fellow judges Warren van Wyk and Michele Lourie said that as in past years it was very hard to separate the youths.

“They should be congratulated on their performance and what they are doing in the community,” Mrs Lucas said.

“However, there had to be winners and the public speaking segment went to Janardhan Jolivet from Mt St Patrick College while the overall winner was Lauren Cahill also from Mt St Patrick College ( both pictured below).

“The three other outstanding candidates represented Wollumbin High and Murwillumbah High Schools were Lailea Bennett and Matthew Stone-Cardwell (Murwillumbah High) and Ryan Stanley (Wollumbin High).”

Lauren will now go on to the zone final to be held at Cudgen Leagues Club in March.

Wildlife Carers release precious platypus

“It’s a dispersing male, which was found under an abandoned house and they brought it to us,” Ms Pilgrim said.

“The males have to leave when they are of breeding age, but they can get lost and get into trouble.

“Jarrah was underweight and showing signs of starvation.

“We took him to Currumbin Wildlife Hospital, and they sent him to David Fleay Wildlife Park (Burleigh) because they have platypus experts.”

Ms Pilgrim said it was important to handle platypus carefully.

“The males have poisonous spurs on their hind legs so you need to wrap them in a towel,” she said.

“Sometimes we have problems if they aren’t brought in straight away as they die quite easily away from water.

“Jarrah had been in care for about a month and gone from 300 grams to 450 and he is so beautiful and active and healthy.

“We are going to put him back where we found him because his parents would have taught him where to live in that creek.”

Ms Pilgrim said it was “really important to look after our local platypus.

“We don’t want any local extinctions because every mass extinction starts with a local extinction.

“Every animal is really really precious.”

Sunshine Hearing 84268

The University of NSW research recently revealed that climate conditions, land clearing and fragmentation by dams have led to platypus numbers almost being halved.

“This has led to the extinction of local populations across about 40 per cent of the species’ range, reflecting ongoing declines since European colonisation,” lead author of the study Dr Gilad Bino said.

Australia’s drought has also had a devastating impact on the unique mammal, with increasing reports of rivers drying up and platypuses becoming stranded.

The study showed that under predicted climate change, the losses forecast was far greater because of increases in extreme drought frequencies and duration, such as the current dry spell.

“These dangers further expose the platypus to even worse local extinctions with no capacity to repopulate areas,” Dr Bino said.

“There is an urgent need for a national risk assessment for the platypus to assess its conservation status, evaluate risks and impacts, and prioritise management in order to minimise any risk of extinction.”

Platypuses were once considered widespread across the eastern Australian mainland and Tasmania, although not a lot is known about their distribution or abundance because of the species’ secretive and nocturnal nature.

The platypus remains unlisted as threatened in most jurisdictions in Australia – except South Australia, where it is endangered.

Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers President Jan Pilgrim told The Weekly that they would be releasing a male platypus which came from Upper Burringbar.

Grand reopening of Tweed Heads Civic Centre redevelopment of the Civic Centre,” Mrs Elliot said.

“This redevelopment will assist to improve community connections and opportunities for young and older people, people with disabilities and others needing support.

“This is a fantastic outcome for our community.

“As your local MP I’ll always fight to get our fair share from Canberra and this funding is part of the more than $2 billion that I’ve delivered for local roads, schools, health and community resources.”

The project was jointly funded by the Australian Government’s Building Better Regions Fund and Tweed Shire Council.

Tweed Shire Council’s Manager Community and Cultural Services, Robyn Grigg, said the redevelopment has been a long time coming.

“It’s a great outcome for the community who regularly use and visit the library, auditorium and civic centre,” Ms Grigg said.

“We are very grateful to the Australian Government for its funding to make this vision realised and to Tweed Shire Council who also contributed to the project.”

The recently opened Brett Street CAFE (Community Access For Everyone), is a social enterprise initiative of Tweed Shire Council and is located in the newlyupgraded plaza precinct. The cafe opening has been greeted with excitement and praise from patrons.

“The feeling from people that have visited the cafe so far has been positive and very encouraging. It’s great to see the community supporting this worthwhile initiative,” Ms Grigg said.

“The cafe will provide tangible benefits to the community as the income from the not-for-profit cafe will support the delivery of social and community programs. It will also generate jobs for people in the Tweed, specifically for young and older people, people with disabilities and others who need support to enter the workforce.”

MEMBER FOR Richmond Justine Elliot (pictured with Tweed Shire Councillors) has proudly announced the new Cultural Plaza at the Tweed Heads Civic Centre officially open.

Mr Elliot said the centre received $564,000 in Federal Government funding for the upgrade and redevelopment of the new cultural precinct.

“This investment will help ensure the Tweed Shire remains a great place to live, work and raise a family,” she said.

“Projects like this help to build local economies, drive job creation and ensure our region remains strong, resilient and prosperous.

“The new Cultural Plaza will open up the Civic Centre to locals and visitors alike.”

Tweed Shire Council matched the funding bringing the total to $1.2 million for the upgrade with an additional $113,000 added as in-kind support.

The redevelopment of the Civic Centre includes the construction of an outdoor landscaped area and an upgrade of the auditorium with new lighting and better acoustics.

The Library upgrade included an additional reading room and new accessible parking.

The Cultural Plaza also now includes a local social enterprise café – Brett Street Café.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Celebrate Catholic Schools Week SCHOOLS ACROSS the Catholic Diocese of Lismore will celebrate their strength of community when they open their doors for Catholic Schools Week (CSW) 2020.

CSW in the Tweed runs for seven days from Monday, March 16, to Monday, March 23, and The Weekly has printed a special eightpage feature this week (see pages 29 to 36) with all your local information.

The theme this year is “Walking with our students” and acknowledges that Jesus Christ is always at the heart of everything the schools do. Recognising this is the foundation of a Catholic school education, the lens through which everything is viewed, and the belief that informs all policies and decisions.

“Our students are invited to the well, where, with Jesus as their guide, they encounter diversity of learning in a supportive and inclusive environment, and witness service

to others and the community,” a spokesperson for CSW said.

“Schools will host a variety of activities throughout the week including open days and nights, open classrooms, in-school liturgies and more to celebrate their community and raise awareness of the many opportunities a Catholic education provides.”

Catholic Schools Week also marks the start of the 2021 enrolment period for schools across the Diocese.

“With so many activities happening across all schools throughout the week, check out our Catholic Schools Week Events Calendar or contact your local school to make sure you don’t miss out on the chance to get involved in the celebrations and see why so many families choose a Catholic education for their child,” the spokesperson for CSW said.

“If a member of your family is a student of one of our schools, or if you are considering a Catholic education for your child, please come along and celebrate with us.”

Laps for Life to launch first event

By Jonathon Howard BIG-HEARTED LOCAL and Youphoria business owner Ruth Feltham has announced a special Laps for Life event to raise vital funds for ReachOut Australia at the Tweed Regional Aquatic Centre Murwillumbah pool on Sunday, March 22, from 10am.

Mrs Feltham has extensive experience with youth trauma and said she was inspired to help raise funds for ReachOut, which supports children suffering from mental health conditions and trauma.

“We are planning a big swim event with the goal of 120 laps or six kilometres,” she said.

“We’re hoping to raise as much funding as possible for ReachOut to continue their great work in addressing recent rises in youth suicides.”

Mrs Feltham said two lanes have been reserved at the Murwillumbah pool for the event and she’s hoping the community will come down and show their support.

“The format for swimming will be swim to the end then exit the pool at the shallow end via the stairs as the next swimmer approaches,” she said.

“If you wish to keep going, walk back to the starting blocks and jump back in after you have waited for the person in the pool to reach halfway before following.”

Mrs Feltham said she has a passion for assisting youths in dealing with trauma an area that continues to grow across Australia.

ReachOut is Australia’s leading online mental health organisation for young people and their parents and offers practical support, tools and tips to help young people get through anything from everyday issues to tough times.

One in seven Australian children are now exposed to toxic levels of stress because of issues like domestic violence, bullying and neglect, according to Stride Australia.

“Almost one in five Australian children now suffer from abnormally high levels of psychological distress,” the Stride report said.

Mrs Feltham said she has already secured several local students to carry out the swimming.

“We have some great local students who are eager to hit the water and clock up some laps,” she said.

“I’d like to encourage more students and families to get behind the event and let’s swim as many laps as possible.”

The event will also include a barbecue from 11.30am.

“Each lap you get a ticket for a sausage sandwich,” she said.

Normal entrance pool fees apply.

Local News 37

Tropical Fruit World hosts Avocado Festival THEY’RE BACK! Locally grown, ripe, ready and delicious Australian avocados are back in season and the return of the much-loved fruit is being celebrated at the home of the Big Avocado, Tropical Fruit World.

Tweed farms are known as top producers of Australia’s home-grown avocado supply and Tropical Fruit World is kicking off a month-long Avocado Festival at the farm this weekend.

Activities will include a ‘Guac and Roll’ live music and Mexican event, special ‘Sweet Home Avocado’ café menu, kids’ games, tour ticket deals, prize giveaways and nursery specials.

An exclusive picnic lunch in the avocado grove with a three-course ‘Death by Avocado’ menu will feature in Destination Tweed’s Artisan Food Weekend offerings on Sunday, March 15.

Local brews are on the menu too, including Stone & Wood beers and Tweed’s own Kind Coffee cold brew espresso. Tickets are available via the Destination Tweed website.

According to Farm Manager Mick O’Reilly said this year’s harvest at Tropical Fruit World will be a good one.

“It’s great to have our own delicious homegrown avos back in the market, and this year may be even better than the last,” he said.

“First up are our Fuertes and Shepards, and they just get better throughout the season, they’ll get richer in oils and creamier in texture.”

In fact, this year’s avocado crop is going so well that the fresh fruit market at Tropical Fruit World is again selling avocados literally by the bucketload.

You can purchase a tub of farm fresh Fuertes for $10 while stocks last.

All-things avocado will be the focus of the Plantation Café menu during the month of March too, with a sweet twist to desserts and ice creams including Avocado and Nougat Semifreddo with Roasted Macadamia Nuts, or Choc-coated Farm Honeycomb with Coconut Avocado Ice Cream?

You can try these treats from the ‘Sweet Home Avocado’ menu right though to the school holidays.

Demand for the homegrown avocado extends to the home gardener as well, with grafted avocado trees a popular choice from the onsite nursery, open every day from 11am.

For details of the Avocado Festival events calendar and the Tropical Fruit World markets and menu, visit the website: www. tropicalfruitworld.com.au

Sunshine Sugar is developing plant-based medications from sugarcane

Partnership to unlock wonders of sugarcane

By Jonathon Howard SUNSHINE SUGAR continues to unlock the wonders of sugarcane with its latest venture to use sugarcane fibre in breakthrough medicinal treatments.

Sunshine Sugar has teamed up with medical nutrition company, MediKane, which could help develop plant-based medicines.

Sunshine Sugar and MediKane will cooperatively deliver solutions for overall wellbeing and for the delay, prevention and treatment of chronic health disorders.

MediKane is a food-based medicine company specialising in producing natural, plant-based solutions that address the management of blood sugar levels, and separately, gut health in pre- and post-operative patient rehabilitation.

The Australian-based company has a number of existing and developmental products under its NutriKane label.

NutriKane D has become recognised as a treatment for Type 2, pre-diabetes and gestational diabetes, having been formulated to assist in controlling blood sugar levels through improved gut and intestinal health.

It contains dietary fibres and a wide range of essential micronutrients that have been shown to not only aid the maintenance of the microbiome, but also reduce inflammation and ultimately help control blood sugar levels.

The friendly staff at Tropical Fruit World

The NutriKane range also includes a product that is gaining traction for its post-operative benefits to patients, as it is proven to relieve constipation and supports bowel health.

MediKane CEO Rod Lewis said the scientific approach set the company apart.

“Using independent proof of effectiveness for natural products, sets us apart from the crowd in the plant-based health space,” he said.

Sunshine Sugar CEO Chris Connors said he welcomed the partnership with MediKane which he said will unlock even more of the naturally occurring properties within the “remarkable sugarcane plant”.

“This is a great addition to our growing suite of health-focussed products that already includes Low GI Sugar and Botanical Water,” he said.

“Sunshine Sugar plans to establish a stateof-the-art processing facility at one of their three milling sites during the 2020 crushing campaign.

“All-natural sugarcane fibre treated under strict processing conditions is a key component of this range of health solutions.

“This initiative will continue to offer consumers more choice, whilst helping to ensure a sustainable future for our business and our growers.”

Denture Problems?

THERE ARE many problems that people encounter when wearing (or learning to wear) a denture – sore spots, looseness and damaged or missing denture teeth to name a few. The good news is there is no need to endure through pain or problems with your denture. In most cases, your dental prosthetist can help.

Sore spots are the most common problem faced by denture wearers. A sore spot occurs when the denture moves and rubs on the gum, causing a small amount of swelling leading to the denture rubbing more. Left untreated, the rubbing continues until the skin on the gum breaks causing a painful ulceration. This is something that can quickly be fixed by your dental prosthetist.

By identifying where the denture is rubbing on the gum, and adjusting the denture accordingly, relief should be instantaneous.

The trick is treating the sore spot when it is a small problem, before it becomes a painful ulceration.

A number of different factors can cause a denture to feel ‘loose’. If it is a partial denture, perhaps it is a simple matter of having the clasps tightened, or if it is a full denture, you may need a reline. When you have a natural tooth extracted, your gums shrink and are continually changing shape. Whilst this change slows down over time, it never completely stops, meaning that your denture is only a ‘good fit’ for a certain period of time.

A reline replaces the fitting surface of your denture to suit the shape your gums are now, not the shape they were when the denture was made. A reline usually takes one day to complete and, in most cases, fixes a perceived

looseness issue. In some cases, especially with a complete lower denture, implants may be required to stop the denture from moving around. A consultation with a dental prosthetist is the safest way to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Missing or damaged denture teeth is something that can affect daily life. Being embarrassed to smile or speak to people can seriously impact one’s self esteem. Denture teeth as well as other denture components (clasping, ‘gum’ area etc) can be replaced or repaired. A denture repair is generally fairly straight forward and happens inhouse over a couple of hours depending on the repair.

Whether you are experiencing sore spots, denture looseness, need a denture repair, or your denture simply needs a clean, Bromley’s Denture Clinic can help. We are your family owned local denture clinic with over 20 years combined experience, and whatever your denture problem may be, we are here to listen and help where ever we can. Life is too short to endure denture ‘teething problems’.

‘90s with Tina Turner is an absolute cracker and gave me tingles watching it.

Round one for the players is always an exciting time, the hard work of the pre season has been done and everyone is ready to go.

The dream of a premiership gets to put the wheels in motion and take it’s first step come 8pm Thursday night.

Some great match ups always occur in round one for example Broncos vs Cowboys, Manly vs Storm and the season opener Bulldogs vs Eels.

I’m going to throw in some 2020 predictions early.

Roosters will be in the big dance again and get a shot at the three peat.

Kalyn Ponga to be player of the series for Qld. Cameron Munster to win the Dally M and fingers crossed Brisbane finish in the top four.

Being a local, I really want to see the Titans do well and I

hope Justin Holbrook can get them away from the spoon.

The loss of Ryan James won’t help but they have some super juniors that are now all at PBC and hopefully the club are still around when these kids are ready to step up to the big time.

I’m really looking forward to seeing the women’s game grow on the back of last season and the success in the cricket recently.

It’s finally here, settle in, get along to a game and enjoy.

See you at the footy, Quinny.

SEASON 2020 is here! It has been a long off season but the fair dinkum footy is finally back.

We have had an off season of minimal incidents – if no one goes to Bali next off season we should be fine – and the game is in a strong position.

If you did not manage to watch it during the Byron Bay Film Festival last October you have another chance to see it now. I am talking about the extraordinary documentary Honeyland, the film that after winning three different awards at the Sundance Film Festival was nominated for Best International Feature Film and Best Documentary Feature at the Academy Awards, making it the first documentary in history to receive nominations in both categories – it has been defined as an “Oscar game changer”.

The documentary revolves around Hatidze, a middle-aged beekeper of Turkish descent living in a remote village of North Macedonia. Hatizde is one of the last wild beekeepers in Europe, who still follows the traditional principles of “half for me, half for you” - she harvests only part of the honey, leaving the rest to the bees that use it for nutrition to maintain essential energy for flying and mating. The ecological balance that Hatizde has managed to keep is disrupted by the arrival of an itinerant Turkish family who set up a caravan nearby and after a while begin harvesting the entire honey that their beehives produce in order to sell to a customer who wants as much honey as possible. As a result, their bees start attacking Hatizde’s in order to get honey for survival during the winter, bringing to an end Hatizde’s way of life…

Honeyland started as a government-sponsored documentary to promote the central Macedonian region but the documentary makers in charge of the project changed plan when they met Hatizde, deciding to focus on her and explore several environmental topics such as biodiversity loss, exploitation of natural resources and climate change.

They filmed over three years, with no voiceover or interviews to lead the narrative, touching also upon the relationship between Hatizde and her 85 years old bed-ridden mother who depends entirely on Hatizde. The tradition of the region is for the last daughter to take care of her parents until their death, similar to the relationship between a queen bee and a worker bee…

Elsie and Norm skilfully perform the various roles from ladies to lords and messengers to kings, as Macbeth is transformed into a fun and eccentric experience that the audience will remember for a long time.

This MTC production stars leading actors Graham Scott and Claire Price as a fascinating couple in this charming Shakespearian send-up. This is a theatrical experience that you won’t want to miss.

Elsie and Norm’s Macbeth will be staged at the Autumn Club, Tumbulgum Road, Murwillumbah on Friday, March 13 at 7.30pm, Saturday, March 14 at 7.30pm and Sunday, March 15 at 2pm.

The show moves to Stoker’s SidingDunbible Hall on Friday, March 20

By Jonathon Howard MURWILLUMBAH THEATRE Company (MTC) is preparing to take its latest production on tour across the Tweed Shire this month with Elsie and Norm’s “Macbeth” set to wow audiences.

Due to the Murwillumbah Civic Centre auditorium renovations, the Company is taking its latest production to the Autumn Club (next to the library), Stokers Siding, Dunbible Hall, for a show and optional dinner special, and Tumbulgum Hall, from March 13 to 29.

John Christopher-Wood’s hilarious adaption of the Scottish play is certain to delight audiences as Elsie and Norm’s “Macbeth” invites you to join the English couple, Elsie and Norm, in their living room for a cup of tea and some culture.

Usually they like to spend the evening playing Trivial Pursuit or watching TV, but this time they have decided instead to treat you to a performance of Shakespeare’s classic play Macbeth.

However, in their opinion Shakespeare’s script is too long and wordy and the play has way too many characters, so they’ve simplified the original text, and play all roles themselves, using things they have on hand to create the story’s magical underworld and dark castle.

Elsie and Norm’s Macbeth is perhaps a version worth viewing before any firsttime doubters of William Shakespeare see the original as Murwillumbah Theatre Company will stage the original Shakespeare play in 2021.

“The pieces in this body of work have built up over time, as an ongoing conversation between myself and society about what it is to be a man today,” Fry said.

Tools, cars, guns and mountains act as symbolic protagonists in this dialogue between conventional masculinity and a brave new world of male integrity.

All are welcome to attend the opening celebrations on Friday, March 13, from 5pm to 7pm at Gallery DownTown.

On Saturday, April 18, from 10am to 2pm, drop into Gallery DownTown to observe artist Tim Fry as he creates mixed media drawings and gain an insight into his exhibition and artistic practice. This is a free event and materials will be provided for visitors who wish to stay and draw, taking inspiration from Fry’s distinct style.

GALLERY DOWNTOWN, the annexe of Tweed Regional Gallery, will present two new solo exhibitions by regional artists from Wednesday, March 11.

Lismore-based artist Rhonda Armistead will exhibit Homestead of my Dreams alongside Subverting the Dominant Paradigm by fellow Lismore artist Tim Fry. Homestead of my Dreams journeys along the backroads and highways to discover the lost, abandoned and still-standing old buildings and sheds in a body of work that features paintings and drypoint engravings.

Armistead’s paintings give viewers a sense of place, while her drypoint engravings provide a more intimate look into the spaces and a understanding of how these buildings become part of the landscape.

Armistead said the exhibition is a journey of heritage and history, of distant memories and sentimental reminiscences.

“Look beyond the melancholy stillness of the properties that have been left to turn to dust but still hold elements of beauty in their crumbling exteriors and interiors,” she said.

Tim Fry is a contemporary artist working primarily in drawing and ceramic sculpture.

Subverting the Dominant Paradigm is a selection of drawn and painted still life images and ceramic sculptures that explore the dialogue between traditional male stereotypes and contemporary alternatives.

Singing brings community together

By Megan Albany A NEW choir has started in Uki with the aim of encouraging everyone, regardless of their age or experience, to join together in song.

Under the guidance of respected musician and music teacher Marc Mittag the choir will be an opportunity for community members from all walks of life to come together and sing as part of a group.

Mr Mittag said there are a lot of misconceptions around singing and he believes that everyone can sing, especially when they are in a supportive, fun and informative learning environment.

“Singing is like any skill,” Mr Mittag said.

“It can be learnt, and it is a bit of a cross between getting fit and learning a musical instrument.

“People who can’t sing have often been told, and normally only told once, that they can’t sing, or they have been asked to mime in a choir.

“However, I believe that with the correct instruction and in a relaxed and fun environment anyone can do the work it takes to get their voices stronger, more flexible and more tuneful.

“We are encouraging everyone from beginners to experienced singers to join the choir as we will have simple, easy parts for beginners as well as the opportunity to sing solo parts for more experienced, confident members.”

Marc Mittag will lead the new Uki Choir

Apart from just having fun singing together, Mr Mittag is hoping the choir will also be able to perform at fundraisers in the future, particularly for causes that affect the whole community.

“We have all just come through a lot with the fires and the recent storms, and it is at times like this that we realise the value of having a great community that knows how to pull together,” he said.

“My hope would be that the next time our community experiences something like this that we can not only stand together as one but sing together.

“In the meantime, we intend to just have a lot of fun, a lot of laughs and to sing some great music together.”

The Uki Choir rehearses at the Uki Hall on Mondays from 6pm. First visit is free. For more information phone Marc on 0432 857 557, visit The Uki Choir facebook page or email ballinabyroncollegeofmusic@gmail.com

George celebrates 95th birthday

By Jonathon Howard POPULAR LOCAL resident and World War II veteran George Anderson celebrated his 95th birthday surrounded by family and friends at the All Saints Anglican Church in Murwillumbah on Friday, March 6.

Mr Anderson has had an extraordinary life after being born in England during the great depression on March 6, 1925.

George’s childhood was anything but easy, having survived pneumonia and working Angus Shepherd, George Anderson, Rueben and hard from the age of four.

“I had to chop wooden logs that my dad Dugald Shepherd brought home from the coal mines where he worked,” he said.

“These were bundled up and sold to locals while I also had to help repair shoes.”

Despite a tough start, George quickly found his feet quite literally as one of his favourite pastimes was dancing.

He recalled kicking up a storm at the local church hall where he danced with the love of his life.

“Betty was in the class above me and she lived only 100 yards from me,” he said.

“I didn’t go to high school as my parents couldn’t afford to send me.”

George left school at 14 and started work Old high school friends Del Johnson and Jacqui that same day in his local grocery store.

Lack “From the age of 14, I went to local church dances where Betty and I were always dancing together,” he said.

It was around this time that War World II was sweeping across Europe and the bombs started raining down over England during Geroge’s teenage years.

“Air raids never stopped us dancing, the lights went out, so we lit candles and the band kept on playing,” he said.

“Betty started nursing at 16 and I volunteered for air crew in January 1943.”

Despite a rocky start to flight training, including breaking his arm, George completed his flight training in light aircraft Shani Forrester, Vince and Narelle Formica, Susan Kean and Merilyn Gilmore

followed by Wellington and Lancaster bombers.

“I was promoted to sergeant and I was crewed up by 1944,” he said.

While George experienced a range of near misses, while on flight missions, he recalls taking part in operation Manna.

Operation Manna was a humanitarian food drop that was carried out to relieve a famine in German-occupied Netherlands, undertaken by allied bomber crews during the final days of World War II in Europe.

George said the bombers would fly extremely low and dropped bags of food in open fields and sports fields.

Betty and George married on July 19, 1947, purchased a house and had two children.

It was George’s former navigator that suggested he move to Australia as a Ten Pound Pom. “We arrived in Brisbane on August 28 to celebrate the centenary,” he said.

“We were met by the then Murwillumbah Rotary Club President Frank Cooke and worked for Frank at the electrical shop on Queen Street,” he said.

“I then worked for a grocer and as a photographer and joined the Tweed Daily News in 1962.”

George retired in 1989 after he suffered a heart attack in the early ‘80s.

Always a fighter, George was again struck down by illness in 2002 when he was diagnosed with stomach cancer and had to have most of his stomach removed.

George has remained an adventurous local who has skydived in his 90s and continues to embrace what life throws at him.

George’s trusty sidekick is always by his side

A Personal Letter to All Banora & Tweed Patients Hello Everyone This month marks the end of a two year restriction on all communication to my former patients at Banora and Tweed.

This is a usual practice when a clinic is sold.

Due to the circumstances at the time, I had no opportunity to advise you all and to say my goodbyes.

Therefore, I would like to take this time now, to convey to you all my deepest appreciation and offer a heartfelt thank you for your loyal patronage.

I feel totally honoured that I have been able to serve the Banora/Tweed community over these last two decades.

Please know that I hold very fond memories of you all, and wish everyone wonderful health and trust that your footcare needs are in great hands.

I continue to work in my Murwillumbah practice on a part time basis 02 6672 2844.

With the Warmest Regards

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

Ever Heard of a Sacrificial Anode?

A sacrificial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efficiently working system and a costly replacement.

Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion.

THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE SOLAR, ELECTRIC, GAS OR HEAT PUMPS FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in the Tweed & Gold Coast area FREE OF CHARGE.

Comes with a 5 year warranty ~ Make your Hot Water System last for 30 years!

By Rachael Lebeter A BRISBANE Short-Necked Turtle that sparked a heated Facebook debate has been successfully released by Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers.

Short-necked turtles are a common freshwater species and are found in creeks, rivers and dams throughout the Tweed. Freshwater turtles are often displaced by heavy rains and can be found on beaches and in urban areas as floodwater recedes.

The Brisbane short-neck was

found on a local beach. Concerned residents attempted to help the turtle by putting it back into the water, only to discover that it was a freshwater turtle, not a sea turtle.

Fortunately, this discovery allowed a member of the public to rescue the turtle from the ocean and call Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers. Ingesting sea water can make freshwater turtles ill or even kill them.

Freshwater turtles and sea turtles can be told apart by looking at their feet. Freshwater turtles have webbed feet with small claws. Sea turtles, on the other hand, have flippers. If you can see individual toes, you are looking at a freshwater turtle.

If you encounter any turtle on the beach in the daytime, there is a simple solution: call Tweed Valley

Wildlife Carers on 02 6672 4789.

Any turtle found on the beach during the day needs medical attention, as sea turtles do not come ashore in the day time unless they are ill or injured and freshwater turtles should not be on the beach at all.

Green turtles, which are listed as a vulnerable species, and loggerhead turtles, which are endangered, both nest on Tweed Coast beaches. Due to the unseasonably hot weather, they are still nesting at the moment.

Australian Seabird Rescue works in partnership with Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers and other concerned locals to monitor sea turtle nesting sites, so if you find a nest report it by calling Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers on 02 6672 4789 or Australian Seabird Rescue on 0428 862 852.

Sea turtles usually nest at night, returning to the water in the early morning. This is the only time that a sea turtle will come onto the beach unless it is ill or injured. If you come across a sea turtle on the beach at dawn, watch it carefully. If the turtle is making its way back to the water, it is probably a healthy turtle that has nested.

It is important not to disturb nesting turtles or to dig up their nests. Turtle populations are vulnerable and wild dogs, foxes and domestic dogs all pose a major threat.

If you come across a turtle nest, do not disturb it or dig up the eggs. Doing so can kill or injure the baby turtles as well as alerting predators such as dogs and foxes to

the location of the nest.

If you find a sea turtle on a beach during the day, please do not attempt to put it back in the water. A sea turtle that has come ashore during the day is usually ill and can drown if it is put back in the water and is unable to swim properly.

Holding Shot with Judy Tuckey HISTORY IN the making – last weekend brought about a new chapter in NSW Lawn Bowls as, for the very first time, women joined with their male counterparts out on the greens to compete in the men’s annual pennant competition.

Following on from all the argybargy that has been a bone of contention for some time between the state’s men’s and women’s head honchos, it is pleasing to see that some decisions are producing worthwhile and positive steps in the right direction to attempt to hold and increase membership.

Whilst there are mixed reactions to the inclusion of women playing in men’s events overall, this new concept appears to be well accepted by the majority, especially when

observing the number of Tweed Byron District women involved in the first day of the men’s 2020 pennant.

Condong Bowls Club fielded the largest number of women in their sides with Kim Keevers (S), Mary Chisholm (3rd) and Tina Debelle (2nd) making up one team in their Grade 6 side. The other two Grade 6 teams featured Becki Attard leading for Bruce Westerlund with Jim Jenkins being supported by Leanne Johnson (3rd) and Sue Cook (L).

Ocean Shores selected Janine Howell and Anna Lovasi as seconds in two of their Grade 6 teams with JM Quirke playing 3rd in a Grade 7 team. Kingscliff’s Di James was selected to play 3rd in one of the club’s Grade 4 teams.

Pottsville ladies were well represented with Coral Nathan skipping a Grade 2 team; Jan Appleton, Judy Ahearn and Kerry-Anne Maroney all selected as Grade 4 leads and Desley Watterson as a Grade 7 lead.

At Cabarita Beach, Sue Goode skipped a Grade 7 team and Lorraine Marsden was lead in another Grade 7 team.

From all accounts, it seems that everyone enjoyed this new concept – win, lose or draw. Way to go bowlers.

TBD Singles Championships are well underway with only the finals in all categories to be conducted at Kingscliff 1pm on Sunday, March 22. A great spectacle of top quality bowls will be on display so don’t miss out on an afternoon of super entertainment.

See you on the greens, Good bowling everyone.

Tuesday – Nth Kirra SLSC Wednesday – Justin Lane Burleigh Heads andwww.tappaproductions.com Your venue????

TEENAGE SURFING sensation, Zahli Kelly has experienced the highs and lows of competitive surfing the last seven days, with an impressive semi-final result in the QS 5000 at Newcastle, to being knocked out in the second round of the Challenger Series event, the Sydney Pro. Kelly took some great scalps in the Newcastle Pro, taking out Coco Ho and Isabella Nichols, but went down to eventual winner Bronte Macaulay in the semi-final. Kirra Pinkerton from the USA and Bethany Hamilton of Hawaii, stopped her progress in Sydney, competition is like that, and I am sure Kelly will re-group and be on fire and the next Challenger Series event in Piha, New Zealand.

Also a great result in Newcastle for another local, Alyssa Lock, who was in great form, making the quarter finals, now looking to garner more ratings points so she can make her way into the Challenger Series in 2021.

Alyssa has been in great form of late, and the former NSW Open Women’s Champion (which she won as a junior) is looking good for the 2020 season.

Kirra Teams challenger before Corona Pro Well the only Corona surfers want to know about is the Corona Pro, coming up from the 26th of March.

The pros have been making sneaky visits, warming up, and getting their head around the waves, particularly Duranbah, where most of the event was held last year.

I caught up with my old mate, Richard “Dog” Marsh the other week, and the former world tour pro, now super coach was putting his charge, Leonardo Fioravanti, through his paces at Dbah, Dog well aware that Duranbah is a wave with many mood swings, and definitely worth a bit of practice. It will get a bit crazy here in the next few weeks, particularly if we get the big swell that is predicted. The pros have been skunked here a few times lately, but a big swell train looks like getting underway from next week.

Will it keep going?

Before the World Tour madness hits the Tweed, the Kirra Teams Challenge will see some of the best teams surfing action you will see on the planet. The event has been running for over three

decades, and is the most prestigious teams title in the World.

Snapper Rocks are fired up after the Surftag, and will be the club to beat, but Cabarita Boardriders are on a roll and will have a great team, along with Kingscliff Boardriders, who if they can put their full team in will be a real threat. But still, there are many other red hot teams, Byron Bay, Le Ba have a host of former World Tour Surfers, and you can never write off any of the Sydney clubs. Club from Victoria to Noosa are involved, and maybe even a team from Western Australia as well.

What everyone in the Kirra Surfriders will be frothing on will be the chance that with the current monsoon trough so active, a cyclone swell may give organisers to hold the event at Kirra Point, something that every surfer who is representing their club in this event will be frothing on the chance to surf Kirra Point for 20 minutes with only three other people out. Last time it was held at Kirra the Merewether Boardriders took the win, and it was an amazing battle. I have got a feeling it could be at Kirra.

Neilsen’s revenge, Pottsville and Cudgen tested Around the Wicket with Jo Kennett

IT WAS day one of the final round of the two-day LJ Hooker League on Saturday, March 7, and Pottsville took on Casino at Seabreeze, needing a win or draw to make the final four.

Casino batted first and once again it was Mika Ekstrom who proved pivotal for the Pelicans taking 5/73, with Ryan McCloy taking 2/46 and Sabah Syed and Jayden Hoare both taking 1/20.

Casino were 9/199 at the end of 70 overs so it’s going to be all about the batting on day two for Pottsville.

It’s not too much to chase down and after a great year, they deserve to be in the finals.

Competition leaders Cudgen played second-placed Lismore Workers at Reg Dalton Field.

The Cudgen bowlers did a fantastic job of keeping the visitors in check, all out for 154 after 45 overs, with Josh Sayad top scoring with 76.

James Julius took 3/20, Anthony Kershler 3/31, Connor Ziebell 2/31 and brother Caleb 2/42.

Unfortunately, Lismore’s Jason Caught proved even more lethal, taking three Hornets scalps for 14 runs, with Cudgen 4/50 at the end of the day’s play, with Alex

Williams the pick of the batsmen at 16 not out.

Cudgen will have their work cut out next week, but there are still some great batsmen waiting in the wings, so they have a good shot at taking the last round.

Murwillumbah played Marist Brothers Lismore at Lismore with the hosts sending the Panthers in to bat.

Lismore didn’t muck around, with the Panthers only getting a handful of runs on the board before Grant Parmenter (19) and Vinnie Quigley (34) managed to salvage some team pride. The Panthers were all out for 81 with Fennamore taking 5/20 and Mitchell 4/21.

In reply, our boys decided to give Lismore a bit of their own medicine, with Blake (bugger you) Neilsen taking 4/16, to see Lismore 5/35 at the end of play, and Sid Ewing 1/12, not bad considering the Panthers are in last spot and Lismore in second.

Coastal League It looks like none of our boys will make the final four but that’s not what it’s all about is it.

Terranora was the only team in with a shot, up in Round 17 against Tintenbar East Ballina who were at the crease first.

They made 6/207 in their 40 overs with their opener nabbing the century that buggered everything up for our lads.

Josh Kinneally took 2/59, Jatinder Singh (2/37) and Anthony Colivas and Corey Fisher got a wicket each.

In reply Terranora put up some good totals and came pretty darn close, 8/187 at the end of the 40 with Steve Harris (36) Jesse Edwards and Mick Sutton (35) the top scorers.

The Thirstiers played Cudgen with Thirstiers winning the toss and batting first.

Andrew McKay (57) and Merv Kempnich (80) helped seal the deal for the Thirstiers, all out for 233.

In reply, Cudgen were 7/191 at the end of the 40 with M Togo best of the bowlers taking 2/31, Chris Humphries took three catches and Scott Bruce took two helping the Thirstiers to the win.

Murwillumbah played Pottsville at Murbah with Potty winning the toss and first up at the crease.

Oscar Van Megchelen (32 from 35 balls) and Troy Schramm (30 from 50 balls) top scored for the Pelicans, but some great bowling saw the boys all out for 171.

Jaxon Miller, who normally plays Under 16s, stepped up for his first Coastal League game and how good is this young man, taking 4/35, while Liam Everest took 3/46 and Travis Antonelli took 2/21. Harry McLean got one too.

The Panthers overtook Potty with the loss of seven wickets to give them the win.

Luke Buckman (2/9), Troy Thoms (2/29) and Van Megchelen (2/35) were the top bowlers.

Thirsty Thirds The Cougars, the Wasps, the Pelicans and the Sharks have made the finals of third grade after Round 18 on the weekend.

The Thirsters Schooners came up against Pottsville at Ron Wilkinson Field.

The Pelicans won the toss and went into bat, with opener Kai Allan putting on 39, Brendham Downham 39 and Adrian Simkins firing on all cylinders with 70 not out to put the boys in the box seat with 9/255 at the end of the 40.

In reply, the Schooners finished at 9/114 with Matt France not too shabby with the ball (3/11), Jonathon Regan taking 2/20 and Kai and Steve Allan taking a couple of catches each to give the Pelicans the win.

The Cudgen Wasps took on club mates the Stingers with the Wasps winning the toss and batting first.

The Wasps put on a great performance with Daley Clarke and Josh King 51 not out, Palmer Grimshaw scored 47, Nathan Eglington was run out on 41 and James Adams was caught on 36 to leave the Wasps 6/291 at the end of their 40.

Jerome Caspersz took 1/27 and two catches.

In reply, the Stingers got off to a brilliant start with opener Dan

Robins retiring at 50 not out, and Rupert Fahy caught on 73.

Unfortunately, there was a bit of a collapse after that – apart from Charlie Evesson (25 not out) – with the Stingers 5/176 at the end of play.

James Adams took 3/29 for the Wasps and James Norvill 1/29.

The Hornets played the Cubs at Barry Smith East with Cudgen batting first.

The Hornets only managed 137 with Andrew Stewart positively frightening for the Cubs taking 4/5, John McVicar 2/15 and William Hosier taking 2/19.

Luke Carrol took a wicket as well and Glen Miller took two catches.

McVicar got the Cubs off on the right foot (or paw as the case may be), retiring at 54 with Andrew Stewart backing up on 19 and Damen Wells on 17 to give the Cubs the win at 7/141 with no bowling stats available.

The Cougars won on forfeit over Caba so not sure what happened there but hope all is okay with the Sharks.

So, it’s sayonara to the Stingers, the Schooners, the Cubs and the Hornets and we will look forward to seeing you back next year.

Also, a huge congratulations to Pottsville’s Pelican of the Week, Tex Mikkelsen who took an unbelievable if only it wasn’t true 5/1 in three overs in the Under 12s.

Way to go Tex.

Husband and wife win Tweed Coast Enduro

POTTSVILLE WAS bursting at the seams over the weekend, with over 850 athletes descending on the beachside community for the annual Tweed Coast Enduro Triathlon.

Athletes battled hot and humid conditions in a 1.7km shortened swim, 90km ride and 21.1km run.

As an ITU World Qualifier for the Long Course, athletes from as far as South Korea participated in the hopes of qualifying for the ITU World Championships in Almere in September.

Competition was fierce on course, with eight-time Ironman Champion Luke

McKenzie taking out the Men’s Open with a time of four hours.

Second place was Ironman Champion Pete Jacobs with a time of four hours and three minutes, followed closely by 70.3 Champion Lindsey Lawry with four hours and four minutes.

The excitement continued for the McKenzie family in the Women’s Open, with Luke’s wife Beth McKenzie also winning gold with a time of four hours 24 minutes.

This was followed by Meredith Hill with four hours and 28 minutes, and Shannon Chapman with four hours and 44 minutes.

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC - Keith Kennedy

LIFE MEMBERSHIP of Australia has been conferred on Geraldine Miller – Bulli, Norman Farmer – Mordiallic, Christine Hopton – Avalon Beach, Colin Laing – The Entrance, and our own Jenny Kenny.

Jenny has continuously volunteered her service to Surf Life Saving at club, state and national level for nearly 40 years.

She was one of the first females to gain her Bronze Medallion in 1980 in Tasmania. She has been a leader in many areas both at state and as a member of Tasmania and the National Board of Lifesaving.

On several occasions she has been recognised as Assessor and Official of the Year and awarded Life Membership of SLS Tasmania in 2006.

In 2013, Jenny and husband Paul joined Cudgen from Hobart

Carlton and joined FNC and Qld Board of Examiners, and has had an outstanding record as an official at state and Australian championships as an Area Referee as well as Australia Youth Championship Referee.

Husband Paul was awarded Life Membership in 2018-19 and they became the first husband and wife to obtain this honour.

The FNC Branch Championships set down for this weekend were cancelled after first being transferred to Kingscliff the week prior. This is the third occasion running that they will not be contested.

Our small team at the NSW Titles held at Swansea-Belmont had some great results. Gold medals were won by Lily O’Sullivan in the 17yr Surf Race and teamed with Olissa Onley to win the 17

Race Director Mike Crawley has thanked residents and businesses for their patience during the event.

“We love coming to Pottsville and so do our athletes, who consistently tell us that they are returning for the location,” Crawley said.

Early athlete survey results show that 46 per cent of athletes attend the event because of the location. A total of 36 per cent of athletes had never been to Pottsville before and 74 per cent of past participants likely to return to Pottsville for a holiday in the next 18 months.

Hayley Smith took silver in the 19yr Board, 6th in the Open Board and the 19yr Girls team of Hayley, Sofie Boyd, Lily O’Sullivan, and Anthea Warne won the silver in the Rescue Tube-Rescue event.

Olissa Onley was second in the 17yr 2km Run. The Open Board Rescue Silver went to Kai Onley and Rory Matthews, Jarrod Cain and Angus McPhail were place fourth.

Bronze went to Lily O’Sullivan, Ginger Allen and Olissa Onley in the 17yr Board Relay and to Lily in the Board Race with Olissa 6th.

Sofie, Hayley and Anthea were 5th in the 19yr Board Relay. Our Juniors will finish their season with the presentation of their Annual Awards this Saturday. It will be held at the Cudgen Leagues Club at 2pm. The venue is chosen because space at the Surf Club is too limited for our 300 nippers plus parents. Following, the AGM will be held at approximately 4pm.

Luke and Beth McKenzie celebrating their Enduro wins

This week’s trivia: known as ‘Black Sunday’ at Bondi, just after 3pm, four freak four-metre dumpers crashed onto a sandbank where there were hundreds bathing. The outgoing surf sucked them as much as 200 metres offshore. In twenty minutes of frenetic activity, some 245 people were rescued in the largest mass rescue in Australian history. Five

persons were carried unconscious ashore and revived with artificial respiration, sixty were assisted ashore suffering immersion and shock and there were five drownings. Name the year that this occurred. Police officer Ranch was among many who were mentioned repeatedly in rescue accounts. In later years he was a neighbour of your writer.
