fatality rate in countries and regions outside mainland China is 1.8 per cent. In comparison, the seasonal flu is estimated to have a mortality rate of around one per cent.

“NSW Health has world’s best practice and facilities to deal with the COVID-19 situation, and the NSW Health Chief Health Officer, Dr Kerry Chant, regularly briefs Local Health District Chief Executives on the COVID-19 situation in NSW,” Dr Jelfs said.

“The Commonwealth and NSW Health response to COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) is ongoing.”

Dr Jelfs outlined some of the symptoms of COVID-19 which include fever, coughing, runny nose, or shortness of breath.

“The most important step in protecting yourself from any illness, including COVID-19 is regular handwashing, especially before preparing and eating meals or drinking,” she said.

“Anyone with symptoms should isolate themselves from others and practise simple hygiene by covering their coughs and sneezes with a tissue or their elbow and washing their hands thoroughly.

“It is important people take action to keep their family and friends safe, so don’t be afraid to speak to your doctor if you have any symptoms.

“Please let your GP know if, in the last 14 days before feeling unwell, you have travelled to any of the countries that are listed as being at higher risk for COVID-19, which can be found through the NSW Health website: www.health. nsw.gov.au/Infectious/diseases/Pages/ coronavirus.aspx “Please call ahead to speak to your GP before visiting, or call healthdirect on 1800 022 222.

“GPs can arrange testing, or if you are very unwell you can attend your local Emergency Department for assessment, but please call ahead before attending.”

New hospital to stay public but bed numbers still a concern

By Jo Kennett NSW HEALTH Infrastructure (HI) says that the new Tweed Valley Hospital will be publicly funded and operated.

The confirmation comes after rumours began circulating late last year that HI did not have the funds to build the hospital leading many to believe a private model could be on the table.

The Weekly contacted HI about the rumours, asking how the department was planning on funding the hospital and whether we could expect to see something in the Health budget due out in June.

In response, HI said the NSW Government’s $582 million investment in the Tweed Valley Hospital will deliver a brand new regional referral hospital along with interim upgrades to The Tweed Hospital to deliver excellent and expanded health services for the local

communities of the Tweed and Byron Local Government Areas. “ T h e Tw e e d Va l l e y H o s p i t a l Development at Kingscliff is due to open in 2023 and is publicly funded and operated,” the HI spokesperson said.

“The building structure also supports staged expansion in the future, ensuring the facility will be able to grow with the community in the region.”

Health Minister Brad Hazzard made an election commitment in early 2019 that the new hospital would have 450 beds but late last year it was revealed that one of the possible plans for the new hospital included one business case with only a 15 per cent increase in capacity.

That would mean around an extra 33 beds, rather than the promised 205.

Doctors said last year that the new hospital needed to have at least double the number of beds as the current 245bed The Tweed Hospital, with a growing population and patient presentations continuing to rise.

The Weekly asked HI to confirm bed numbers currently planned for The Tweed Valley Hospital and whether the funds were in place to build with that bed number.

A HI spokesperson said the new Tweed Valley Hospital will have significantly improved and expanded services with more beds, an expanded emergency department and enhanced medical, surgical and mental health services”.

“It will also have expanded outpatient services with more clinics, new interventional cardiology service and a new radiotherapy service as part of integrated cancer care,” the HI spokesperson said.

“The new Tweed Valley Hospital will also mean that more than 5,000 people each year will no longer need to travel outside the region to receive life-saving treatments.”

By Jonathon Howard STAFF FROM the North Coast Public Health Unit (NCPHU) have recently taken part in COVID-19 response exercises using various scenarios to “maximise our preparedness” should an outbreak of the virus occur across the Northern Rivers.

NCPHU Acting Director, Dr Jane Jelfs, told The Weekly that six cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in NSW but none in regional NSW. “While none of these have been in regional areas this does not mean that these areas are unprepared,” she said.

“All NSW public health units are experienced in working closely with local clinicians in preparing for public health emergencies.

“This includes recently participating in exercises using various scenarios to maximise our preparedness.”

Tensions have been running high amongst Northern Rivers residents with several locals telling The Weekly they’re concerned they are “unprepared” in the event of an outbreak.

The fear is driving panic purchasing of hand sanitiser, toilet paper and face masks.

Globally COVID-19 has killed more than 3,000 people with most deaths among the elderly and in China.

A c c o r d i n g t o t h e Au s t r a l i a n Government, across the world, there have been about 89,907 confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) and 3,084 reported deaths. Of confirmed cases reported globally, the case fatality rate is approximately 3.4 per cent. The case

Yet the budgeted upgrades of The Tweed Hospital have not proceeded and the “critically urgent” Kingscliff Hospital is stalled in NSW Planning because the ultimate hospital will not fit on the chosen site. The first Kingscliff stage is now rumoured to be reduced to only a few more beds than currently in Tweed Heads.

In the meantime, families seeking medical care may be flood-isolated in Murwillumbah with inadequate emergency responses available there.

This is not good enough. It is not what our community was promised or deserves. We call on the NSW Health Minister and relevant State MPs to revisit this ill-advised staffing decision, to ensure Tweed residents receive the medical care to which they are entitled.

area. For these people their first port of call is ED for help. A long trip in an ambulance is not acceptable.

We have a functioning ED and need to demand services are not reduced. To lose two nurses a day is outrageous. Anyone who has visited the ED recently knows how busy they are and we usually expect a wait of a couple of hours if it’s not a life threatening emergency. With even less nurses the wait time will increase. We need to support our nurses, doctors and local hospital.

Growing area needs hospital

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

It started with the closure of the Children’s Ward, then the High Dependency Unit. Obstetrics services are reduced and theatre services greatly reduced. But the number of people in the Murwillumbah area and surrounds seems to be increasing with new estates popping up everywhere.

The nurses in the Emergency Department are now required to monitor patients on telemetry who would have previously gone to the High Dependency Unit. Babies are being born in the car park, the Emergency Department and in cars on the way to Tweed Hospital.

Sick children are kept in ED and monitored as the Children’s Ward has gone.

I was there last Saturday afternoon dropping something off and looked into the ED waiting room. It was empty but I could hear activity in the ED department. Within 20 minutes there were eight patients in the waiting room. These weren’t people with minor ailments: a young person with a broken leg, an older person obviously with a serious heart complaint, another person who couldn’t walk due to serious pain. This was just in the triage area.

Recently with the floods, Wedgetail Retreat was cut off for four days.

Our guests were evacuated to Murwillumbah as per an agreement we have with the hospital. The nurses in Emergency were caring, professional and quickly alleviated our guests’ fears about the move, had them settled and admitted to Medical Ward where they received exceptional care.

We need a high functioning hospital with experienced staff. The lack of local bulk billing doctors means the number of presentations to ED will only increase. The recent virus outbreak will also increase the number of admissions to ED. The drug, homelessness and mental health issues are increasing in our

Support our hardworking hospital staff

I recently attended the Day Surgery at Murwillumbah Hospital and I applaud all the nursing staff for their professional, courteous and extremely friendly service to all patients.

The next day I received a follow-up call to check if I was okay.

So one can image the shock when I read the proposed cuts to the hospital Emergency Department.

Let us all stand up for our hardworking doctors and nurses and sign the petition.

Protect our agricultural land

Of course the State Significant Fa r m l a n d ( S S F ) s h o u l d b e protected. One doesn’t have to research very far to read about the need to protect agricultural land for food security, sustainable eating and low food miles. And this is an area that was getting rain when the rest of the state was in devastating drought.

Seriously? One doesn’t have to be Einstein to know that we need to protect every single acre of valuable farming land.

Reneging on free parking and now refusing to confirm that they will protect other SSF; what other promise is this government going to break? What other lies did they tell us to get into power?

Kate Stodart, Kingscliff

Concern with staff cuts

At a recent meeting, the Tweed Heads Branch of the ALP unanimously resolved its opposition to the proposed reduction of the number of Emergency Department nu r s e s at t h e mu c h - n e e d e d Murwillumbah Hospital from three to two equivalent full-time positions per 24hrs.

Apart from our general concerns over the ongoing deliberate shrinkage of all hospital services in Murwillumbah, our members felt strongly that further cutting the number of nurses in the Emergency Department presents a potential danger to patients, babies and children. With only two criticalcare trained nurses in the Emergency Department and some paediatric cases demanding 1-on-1 care, it is possible that only one RN could be available on the floor to triage, treat and monitor all patients presenting to Emergency in Murwillumbah.

This degree of service downgrade clearly could put patients’ lives at risk when they visit this hospital.

Furthermore, the increasing levels of mental illness and drug-related violence that Emergency Units must deal with also puts lone staff members at greater risk of harm as well.

Murwillumbah has been declared a city recently, due to its considerable population growth.

This deliberate ongoing reduction

What about WiFi in schools?

I have just read your article regarding the Education Department’s objection to the mobile tower at Banora Point (TVW, Feb 27).

I would like to know if you have investigated or asked questions of the Education Department’s policy on WiFi in schools?

Reason being is I have done an investigation and found while schools are happy to have WiFi blasting away in classrooms only metres above children’s heads they are not happy with a mobile tower a few hundred meters away.

The signal from WiFi is much stronger and not obstructed by the walls of the classroom as it’s already inside. If you ask any smart technical person they will also tell you WiFi is very primitive and doesn’t have much

power saving features to reduce the amount of power it outputs.

I ro n i c a l ly, t h i s s h ow s t h e Education Department doesn’t really understand the issues properly.

Fed up with off-leash dogs

I am tired of the sense of entitlement of some dog owners.

On New Year’s Day at the sandy beach area near the mouth of the creek at Pottsville, there were at least four dogs off-leash swimming and wandering around all the families and children. This is a prohibited area for dogs. I witnessed one man informing the female owner of two large dogs that dogs were not allowed here. The dog owner then verbally abused this gentleman and continued to deliberately parade up and down the area with her dogs off-lead.

On another occasion I have been in the same area at dusk when a woman came down to let her dog run around off-lead. When I mentioned nicely to her that it was not a dog area she told me that she knew that and continued to let her dog run off into the bush chasing the bird life.

Several times I have been walking on the beach between Pottsville and Hastings Point in the mornings and have been accosted by people’s dogs.

Surely people have a right to be able to walk along the beach without strange dogs smelling/licking/ jumping up or charging them.

My husband rarely walks along the beach now as he has been attacked twice by dogs when walking from Pottsville to Hastings Point. He has severe PTSD from war service where explosives were stitched under the skin of dogs by enemy forces and then detonated when approaching crowds of people or soldiers.

I have owned several dogs over the years and quite like dogs generally but I wish all dog owners would be respectful of the rights of other people and wildlife.

Don’t need to look far for climate change evidence

To all the climate naysayers I suggest you look globally instead of locally.

Antarctica had a temperature of 18°C a couple of weeks ago. Then there is our Sooty Shearwater seasonal migration (Mutton Birds) that failed this season for the first time in history – they spend half the year on the coast of Alaska and then fly to the Bass Strait Islands to breed during our spring/summer.

Normally hundreds of thousands of them show up but this year it was a few hundred – the rest are corpses, starved to death, on the

You’re missing my point

Alan Watterson (Letters 27/2) not only misconstrued my letter of 13 February (not “February 20”) regarding the significance of Australia’s contribution to climate change and recent bushfires, but also completely missed the point I was making.

I was not arguing for “shirking our responsibilities” but for solid facts and sound logic; had Scott Morrison miraculously eliminated our emissions on becoming PM, it would have made no measurable difference thus far.

A c c e p t i n g M r Wat t e r s o n’s dubious claim that Australia’s emissions increased by 6 percent from 2005 to 2018, global emissions simultaneously increased by 24 percent (four times ours), so our relative percentage declined. So did our emissions per capita.

If we are serious about tackling climate change, not just playing politics with hollow promises for 2050, we need to transition to the most sustainable, safe, reliable, affordable and environmentally friendly energy source which, according to Dr James Hansen and Environmental Progress, is neither wind nor solar.

Time to free Julian

The Julian Assange saga has the familiar stench of David Hicks about it. The Liberals have poor form in supporting Australian citizens in trouble. Think Mamdouh Habib, Hew Griffiths, The Bali 9, Dr Haneef, Cornelia Rau, Vivian Alvarez Solon and of course Hicks.

Many of these investigations have cost taxpayers millions in compensation for bungled raids and false accusations. It is time for the Morrison government to act on behalf of Julian Assange who has exposed shocking war crimes that are indeed in the public interest and are in no way a threat to America’s ‘national security’.

Motion to ban future water bottling facilities

Price Match Guarantee* www.hardysolar.com.au Tweed Shire councillors will consider a motion to prevent future water bottling facilities

“A lack of strategic justification for the removal of the land use, and differing opinions about the appropriate application of precaution in the face of uncertainty,” the report read.

Cr Warren Polglase said he felt the removal of the clause (7.15) was contrary to the Water Act. “I believe this is the wrong move and could be easily challenged when up against the Water Act,” Cr Polglase said.

Council’s report did not mention the Water Act, but did consider legal ramifications especially highlighting the move as facing anti-competitive criticism.

“Whether the prohibition of water bottling facilities in the RU2 zones of the Tweed could be construed as anti-competitive or unnecessarily restrictive behaviour or conduct under the Commonwealth Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCC 2010) is untested,” the report reads.

“With the best of intentions, the objective and intended outcomes of PP18/0004 would not explicitly or implicitly restrict competition, favour particular operators nor create unnecessary barriers to entry.”

A review by the NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer last year found the volume

of water allocated is “conservative and reasonable” that extraction of groundwater from deep aquifers can have a direct impact on shallower groundwater systems and surface water systems but “there is a recognised lack of data”.

“Backed by acknowledgement now, through independent review by the NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer, that there is uncertainty within the current information on which extraction volumes are based, and no evidence to support any definitive conclusion about environmental impacts, it is seen to be consistent with,” Council’s report reads.

“NSW Policy to err on the side of caution until such time as the exactness of the impact is known and upon which alternate informed decisions can be made.”

Tweed Water Alliance spokesperson Pat Miller said the motion was welcomed.

“Any move towards stopping this industry is welcomed by 99 per cent of the community,” he said.

“It’s a welcome sign to see a progressive council vote to stop the bottled water nonsense when Australian tap water is world standard.”

“From the first contact to the after installation support & everything in-between, Hardys have been fantastic! Everyone I have dealt with have been professional, helpful and such a joy. Would highly recommend Hardy Solar!” Steve, Banora Point Dec 19

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE councillors will consider a motion to ban any future water bottling facilities in the shire during their monthly meeting at Tweed Heads on Thursday, March 5.

The motion calls for the removal of clause 7.15 from the Tweed Local Environment Plan (LEP) 2014 which permits water bottling facilities, while protecting those currently in place.

A Council report stated the move is to take a “precautionary approach in the face of uncertainty surrounding the longterm environmental impacts”.

The proposed ban attracted 343 submissions in support and five opposed after it was publicly exhibited from August 20, 2019, to September 17, 2019.

“The proposal also includes legal measures to protect existing and established water extraction and water bottling facility operators from undue economic hardship as a result of changes to the planning laws,” Council’s report read.

“This extends to retaining permissibility of water bottling facilities on their land and acknowledging that any future development applications lodged over their land would be subject to merit assessment.”

Environmental impacts were noted as one of the primary reasons for the proposed ban amongst ongoing community concerns.

“Along with the view that water belongs to the environment and the community and should not be used for private profit, particularly in the face of increasing uncertainty about water supply and security and a changing climate,” the report read.

However, those opposed argue there is a lack of evidence that the industry is not sustainable.

Tweed Heads Centrelink services to merge in 2022

By Jo Kennett THE TWEED Heads Centrelink office will be shifted from its current location at 100 Blundell Boulevard to another location in the same suburb in 2022, according to the Federal Government.

Services Australia General Manager Hank Jongen told The Weekly that the department has “approached the market for a new leased premise in Tweed Heads to consolidate three tenancies into a single building from 2022”.

“The proposed consolidation would include face-to-face services currently delivered from the Tweed Heads Service Centre and staff undertaking non-faceto-face functions in a call centre and zone office,” Mr Jongen said.

“Further details about the approach to market are commercial-in-confidence and cannot be released at this time.

“We will continue to deliver face-to-face services to the Tweed Heads community, and no agency jobs will be lost due to this change.”

Mr Jongen said that as leases come up for renewal, Services Australia takes the opportunity to review servicing options “to ensure we continue to keep pace with the changing needs of the community”.

“Before any services are brought together, the agency assesses many factors, such as convenience and the benefit to the community in accessing a broad range of services under one roof, the proximity of other service centres, the demand for services in the community, access to public transport and other government services,” Mr Jongen said.

“The number of customers accessing face-to-face services has declined over recent years as more and more people choose online options.”

Mr Jongen’s comments came after the federal opposition accused the Morrison

Crazy man punches wall then resident

A MURWILLUMBAH homeowner received a punch in the head after he approached a 28-year-old man punching his plaster-board wall on Friday, February 28.

Tweed Police said it was 10.25pm when it is alleged the 28-year-old Murwillumbah man began punching a wall and causing damage.

“It is alleged the male owner of the wall approached the male a short distance away. It is alleged the male punched the owner and ran off,” police said.

The victim required stitches to a head wound and police located and arrested the offender a short distance away.

“He was searched, and it is alleged police located a flick knife in one of his pockets,” police said.

“The male was taken to Tweed Heads Police Station and charged with malicious damage, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and custody of a knife in a public place.”

The man had his bail approved and will appear before Murwillumbah Local Court on Friday, April 24.

Tweed Heads Centrelink will not be shifted until 2022. Inset is Member for Richmond Justine Elliot who has slammed the moves as hindering the Tweed’s most vulnerable residents.

government of “secretly closing down Centrelink shop fronts around the nation”.

“Stuart Robert closed the Mornington and Newport Centrelinks with no warning, even taking his cabinet colleague Greg Hunt who opposes the Mornington closure by surprise,” Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot said.

“In NSW a Centrelink in Newcastle is on the chopping block, there is a merger planned in Tweed Heads, and there is speculation about further changes in other locations.

“From Robodebt to the $4.6 billion ripped from the NDIS we know whenever this Government gets in financial trouble it robs from the vulnerable.”

Mrs Elliot said the Centrelink Service Centre at Blundell Blvd in Tweed Heads South, “provides essential services that our community relies on and it is

imperative that these services remain easily accessible by our community”.

“Pensioners and seniors, veterans, people with disability, families, carers, locals seeking work and students all rely on the essential frontline services that our local Centrelink provides,” she said.

“I’ve been inundated with concerns from locals about these changes.

“The Government is not informing the public of these plans and is leaving jobseekers, the needy and vulnerable Australians out in the cold.

“Government Services Minister Stuart Robert must now come clean on the extent of his national Centrelink closure plan, or commit to maintaining all current Centrelink shop fronts.

“Face-to-face service with real people is an essential, vital and valued public service.

“The Centrelink staff are doing their best, but they are being undermined from above.”

Man threatens security guard

A 36-YEAR-OLD Eungella man was arrested after he threatened security staff inside a Murwillumbah shopping centre on Wednesday, February 26.

Tweed Police said it was about 4.10pm when officers were called to the shopping centre.

“It is alleged a 36-year-old man from Eungella was intoxicated and threatening towards security staff,” police said.

“Police attended and the man was arrested. He was walked back to Murwillumbah Police Station.

“It is alleged as the man was walked, he kicked out at several shop windows which were not damaged.”

The man was charged with assaulting a security guard and offensive behaviour.

He had his bail approved and will front Murwillumbah Local Court on Thursday, March 19.

Free soil workshop for Tweed vegetable growers The draft Local Strategic Planning Statement aims to define how growth and change in the Tweed will be managed into the future.

Have your say on a 20-year vision for the Tweed Local residents and visitors to the Tweed are invited to have their say on the Tweed Local Strategic Planning Statement, which sets out the 20-year vision for land-use planning in the Tweed.

The statement describes the special characteristics that contribute to the Tweed’s local identity, the shared values the community wants to maintain and enhance and how growth and change will be managed into the future.

“The statement is part of Council’s commitment to manage our future so the Tweed grows in an environmentally, socially and economically responsible way,” Director Planning and Regulation Vince Connell said.

“It sets clear planning priorities required to support our community’s social, environmental and economic land-use needs into the future, including where these are best located and when they will be delivered.

To meet the community’s future vision, the statement also outlines short, medium and long term actions to deliver on these priorities.

“The statement brings together and builds on the Tweed Community Strategic Plan 2017–2027 and Council’s current land-use plans, strategies and policies. It describes how the directions and actions in the North Coast Regional Plan and other state-wide and regional policies will be implemented locally,” he said.

The draft Local Strategic Planning Statement will be on exhibition for public comment until Friday 3 April 2020.

“This is the Tweed community’s opportunity to have their say about decisions affecting the Tweed’s long-term future. I encourage everyone to review the draft to make sure that it reflects what our community wants and needs over the next 20 years.”

You are invited to attend a Community Conversation, held at multiple locations across the Tweed throughout the exhibition period, to learn more and have your say. For more information see the information on the next page and to register visit www.yoursaytweed.com.au/futureofthetweed or call (02) 6670 2400.

Night roadworks Leisure Drive, Banora Point Council contractors will start nightworks on Sunday 8 March to rebuild a 280-metre section of Leisure Drive between Advocate Place and Greenway Drive at Banora Point, weather permitting.

The work involves milling off the old asphalt surface and repairing soft spots in the road substructure by mixing cement into the underlying gravel material and re-compacting the road base.

Work will start at 4pm on Sunday 8 March so that the noisy milling off work will be completed early in the night. Then, less noisy tasks will be done from 7pm to 6am on Tuesday 9 March and the following Monday 16 March.

Bush Fire Danger Period ends The NSW Rural Fire Service has declared an early end to the statutory Bush Fire Danger Period in the Northern Rivers, due to the recent sustained rainfall.

From Sunday 1 March, fire permits are no longer required for a number of local government areas, including the Tweed.

Residents must still notify their neighbours and call the Burn Notification Line on 1300 632 174 at least 24 hours before burning.

Also check with the Fire Control Centre on (02) 6671 5550 to see if you need a Bush Fire Hazard Reduction Certificate and ensure you have sufficient equipment to control and contain the fire to your property.

Tropical soda apple spread by recent flooding With the recent heavy rain and flooding, weeds that had been laying dormant are now germinating and can spread quickly.

Tropical soda apple (Solanum viarum) is one such weed that can rapidly spread after flood events.

This plant can reduce biodiversity by displacing native plants and disrupting ecological processes.

As the seeds are easily carried by water, now is the time to be vigilant and begin to look for germinating seedlings. Best practice is to conduct regular paddock inspections along water lines and anywhere that was affected by run-off during the floods.

Rous County Council and Tweed Shire Council have been working consistently to eradicate tropical soda apple (TSA) infestations in Byrrill Creek and stop its spread downstream along the Tweed River.

There is a state-wide biosecurity control order that aims to eliminate TSA within NSW. All TSA, including fruit, must be destroyed and land must be kept free of TSA. To report tropical soda apple plants, or obtain positive identification, please contact Brook Hooson at brook.hooson@rous.nsw.gov.au or 0427 335 507.

Janelle slams proposed hospital staff cuts

By Jonathon Howard MEMBER FOR Lismore Janelle Saffin has delivered an impassioned speech to the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday, February 26, describing the proposed cuts to the Murwillumbah Hospital Emergency Department as “robbing Peter to pay Paul”.

Ms Saffin said the Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) recently mooted that it might cut nursing hours in the Emergency Department by 3.08 full-time equivalent nurses, or 2.2 shifts per day.

“That may not sound much, but in a small department it represents a 24 per cent cut in nursing hours and will impact significantly on the quality and timeliness of the care that nurses can provide,” she said.

“The staff review was conducted in response to other emergency departments across the local health district rightly requesting staff enhancements due to unsafe staffing levels and increasing workloads.

“The Murwillumbah branch of the Nurses and Midwives Association, all the staff at the hospital, including the doctors, and the community want to make it clear that they support all of the other emergency departments having safe and appropriate staffing.

“They object to what everybody says the local health district is proposing in management, robbing Peter to pay Paul.”

Ms Saffin said there has been an increase in medical staff of approximately 25 per cent in the last five years, but there has not been any increase to nursing hours, yet it is nurses who provide the bulk of patient care.

“The Murwillumbah Emergency Department consistently leads in a range of areas,” she said.

“In NSW it meets all of its State targets. It demonstrates timely and excellent clinical care.

It is the leader for meeting all the benchmarks in time frames for patients to be seen, triage 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.”

Ms Saffin said the workforce in the Emergency Department is stable in nursing and medical staff and the use of locum medical officers is minimal due to the existing culture of support.

“There is minimal sick leave and WorkCover used at Murwillumbah. It has excellent staff retention facilitated by a core group of senior nurses that act as resources and mentors to ensure that high quality is maintained and junior staff are supported,” she said.

“That adds to the stability and saves in local health district money, which is not always acknowledged or taken into account when these reviews are done.

“It is currently running 1.3 full-time equivalent position less due to some recent resignations but has not yet received the approval to recruit.

“Casual staff are backfilling those vacancies, the continual use of which is not costeffective.”

Ms Saffin said she is calling on the local health district not to go ahead with this proposed cut “because it would impact on them harshly”.

“I call upon the government to honour its election promise of February 2019 for 5,000 more nurses across the State and other positions for the local health district,” she said.

“The government promised 280 more nurses and midwives, 32 more doctors, 38 more allied health workers and 50 more hospitals support workers in my area and we are yet to see one.

“The Nationals trumpeted that everywhere—I still have the material that was put out saying how great it was.

“The Nationals said it would be better than sliced bread. I have not seen one position yet; all I have seen is mooted cuts.”

Rampaging teens nabbed after crime spree

By Jo Kennett FIVE TEENAGERS are facing serious charges following a dramatic car rollover in a near-new Audi on the Pacific Motorway at Chinderah involving a 14 and 12-year-old boy on Friday, February 28.

Tweed Police said they saw the black Audi they believed to be stolen travelling south on the M1 near Kingscliff.

They pursued the vehicle which later crashed and rolled onto its roof near Chinderah at about 11am.

The driver, a 14-year-old, and his passenger, a 12-year-old, were arrested at the scene and taken to The Tweed Hospital for observation before being transported to Tweed Heads Police Station.

A short time later, another three teenagers were located by police and taken into custody over a string of armed robberies and driving offences across the Far North Coast.

Tweed Byron Police Officers launched Operation Marauder in late January 2020, after a spike in vehicle and property thefts and subsequent fraud offences.

Police allege that on Monday, February 24, five teenagers went into a shop on Jonson Street, Byron Bay, and stole goods before one of the teenage girls punched a store employee.

The teenagers fled and attended a supermarket about 200m down the road shortly before midday, where they stole goods before threatening a store employee with a knife.

Then at about 3.45pm on Wednesday, February 26, the group went to Tweed City and allegedly stole goods from a store before threatening a store employee with a knife.

Following the M1 crash and the arrest of the two juveniles and further inquiries,

Welcome rain brings early end to fire danger period

Asbestos sheets dumped EMERGENCY SERVICES were called to assist with the removal of asbestos sheeting that was dumped at Chinderah recently.

Fire and Rescue NSW Station Kingscliff were called to Dodds Lane at about 3pm on Tuesday, February 25.

Crew members discovered about 500 kilograms of illegally dumped asbestos sheeting.

As it was a hazardous materials incident, Kingscliff Firefighters called in the Hazmat team from Fire and Rescue NSW Station, Tweed Heads, to assist with securing the asbestos sheets.

The sheeting was wet down with water and wrapped in plastic sheeting for safe removal.

The Kingscliff brigade was also called to another illegal dumping of asbestos in Kingscliff on Wednesday, February 26.

If you see any suspicious activity or persons dumping rubbish, please report the matter immediately to Tweed Police.

“It will dry out and people should not be complacent.

“The biggest message is whether it’s Bush Fire Danger Period or not, people still need to notify their immediate neighbours 24-hours before they burn and also they need to contact the burn notification line on 1300 632 174.

“That’s for everyone; they don’t need a permit, but they must notify that they are burning.

Supt Cook said people still need to notify their neighbours in advance of backyard fires.

“Not for camp cooking or cultural fires though, they are exempt,” Supt Cook said.

“As far as beach fires go, they are illegal, along the whole Tweed Coast and people have been seriously injured by stepping on hot coals that have been covered by sand.

“It’s also illegal to light a fire on someone else’s property without consent unless it’s a designated camping area.

The NSW RFS said that residents need to check with the Far North Coast Fire Control Centre on (02) 6671 5550 “to see if you need a Bush Fire Hazard Reduction Certificate and ensure you have sufficient equipment to control and contain the fire to your property”.

Supt David Cook said very few people need certificates.

“Most of the burns are agricultural or burning prunings and debris and they don’t require hazard reduction certificate,” he said.

“If it’s a genuine hazard reduction specifically for hazard reduction, such as reducing fuel levels which could have environmental impacts.”

Tweed residents must notify their neighbours and call the Burn Notification Line on 1300 632 174 at least 24 hours before burning.

For information on Bush Fire Hazard Reduction Certificates call Far North Coast Fire Control Centre on (02) 6671 5550.

By Jo Kennett NSW RURAL Fire Service has declared an early end to the Bush Fire Danger Period in the Tweed Shire, thanks to recent heavy rainfalls.

The Bush Fire Danger Period normally ends on March 31 but this year 19 local government areas including the Tweed Shire have had the season end on March 1.

NSW RFS said the temporary variation has taken into account a number of factors including recent rainfall and local fuel conditions.

“This season saw fires start as early as July with the first bush fire emergency seen in the Glen Innes area during August,” an RFS media statement said.

RFS Team Manager Far North Coast Team Superintendent David Cook said he didn’t want the public to be complacent about fires just because the danger period has ended early.

“I would advise people to keep an eye on the weather conditions,” Supt Cook told The Weekly.

How well are you hearing in background noise?

In this increasingly noisy world, it is getting harder to hear conversations - even for people with normal hearing!

Whether it’s in a café or pub, at a social gathering or just over a meal around the table at home with the TV on; being exposed to other sounds we have to hear on top of the ones we want to hear makes listening tricky and tiring.

A large part of speech is in the consonants, eg, c, s, f - and digraphs, eg, sh, ch, th, ph. These softer speech sounds (compared to vowels) are more easily masked out by noise, making it more difficult to distinguish what people are saying when the background noise is loud.

There are a couple of strategies you can implement the next time you are chatting where there is significant ambient noise: • Make sure you are facing the recipient when speaking. Visual cues give us more information than we realise, especially in the softer sounds • Be specific when asking the other person

to repeat. This helps them to know what information you’ve missed and makes their response easier to follow.

However, if your hearing is down, these steps will not re-introduce the sounds that you are missing out on. Help is at hand though to vastly improve your listening in this situation!

Professionally programmed and fitted hearing aids from Sunshine Hearing will definitely amplify the sounds that you are missing out on, comfortably and discreetly delivering those softer sounds at a volume that you can readily hear.

Skin Health

Psoriasis: How to be free of it

Sufferers of debilitating diseases such as Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis, are experiencing outstanding results at the Good Skin Clinic.

So much so that their notoriety for delivering effective and efficient therapies, has surprised even their own expectations.

What sets the Good Skin Clinic apart from the rest is their extreme focus on the causative factors for these diseases - they don’t only treat symptoms.

It has always been a firm belief that if you remove the cause of your problem, then the offending disease has an opportunity to improve and symptoms quickly begin to disappear.

Patients commonly report 20-40 per cent improvement in the first two weeks of treatment, 60-80 per cent at the six-week point and 80-100 per cent recovered at the 12-week mark, individual results will vary.

The Good Skin Clinic’s most important factor in achieving results is getting their client’s diet right.

It is easy to be confused by the plethora of conflicting information regarding diet such as Paleo, vegan or CSIRO diets.

Diet is the most important thing that any individual can do to maintain health. One of the biggest mistakes made in our modern community is trying to lump the entire population into one diet.

There are many fac tors that individualise diet and are rarely taken into consideration when investigating the reasons why someone has poor health. Such as an individual’s genetic variation, some people are born with faulty genes, making them prone to contracting different diseases such as psoriasis, certain types of cancer and diabetes.

The Good Skin Clinic takes the time to work out a patient’s weak areas, enabling optimisation of diet and lifestyle to maximise the potential for healing.

Their investigative process delivers life-changing results for their patients.

Their message to all frustrated

Psoriasis Treatment

If psoriasis or another skin condition is plaguing your life, call the Good Skin Clinic.

sufferers of these chronic diseases: “do not give up hope”.

While this program is not a miracle, it is, however, finally offering the sufferers of Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and many other serious skin diseases, a treatment program that works outstandingly well, in more than 87 per cent of cases.

The Good Skin Clinic program is naturally- based, using no harmful

chemicals. The program does require a small degree of commitment and perseverance.

However, patients say that the small changes they make improve their wellbeing, they feel great and it is so worth it to be free of the torturous effects of their diseases.

Please take this opportunity to get your life back. Call 1300 956 566 to arrange an appointment.

After

At the Good Skin Clinic, our strengths lay in our ability to determine the most likely cause of your disease. In other words, why did this happen to you. By establishing a causative factor, we then focus our efforts in the most efficient and effective areas of therapy, for your particular condition. Most people are under the mistaken belief, that there is a tablet, cream or ointment that will fix all. Unfortunately the truth may well be more complex than that and that’s where the treatment protocols we use, may be positively life changing for you. Our Natural based therapies and medications include the Dr Michaels product range, with it’s exceptionally high level of scientific validation.

Bernie turns 100 and recalls life in post World War II Europe

By Jonathon Howard S OU T H E R N C RO S S C a re S t Martha’s resident Bernard Howard celebrated his 100th birthday on Monday, March 2, surrounded by family and friends.

Mr Howard provided The Weekly with a rare insight into post-World War II Europe following the defeat of Nazi Germany.

“I remember watching the Berlin Wall being built,” he said.

“It was terrible to try and cross, with only one way in and out for people and the Russians were very strict around who could cross.”

Mr Howard joined the British Army’s Royal Artillery Unit in 1938 at the age of 18.

He was later posted to the Middle East in 1939 and served mainly in Palestine, Syria and North Africa where he achieved the rank of warrant officer at the age of 22.

As the war was ending, Mr Howard was transferred from the Middle East to Europe in 1945.

He would spend the next five years in Germany from 1947 to 1952, during a time of great division across Europe and what would eventually lead to the Cold War between the US and former USSR. At the end of the WWII, millions of people were dead and millions more homeless across Europe after the economy had collapsed and much of Europe’s industrial infrastructure had been destroyed.

In response, in 1947, US Secretary of State George Marshall devised the European Recovery Program, which became known as the Marshall Plan.

Under the plan, during 1948 to1952 the US government allocated US$13 billion (US $149 billion in 2019 dollars) for the reconstruction of Western Europe.

Bernard “Bernie” Howard with family members Maureen Vincent, Fred Vincent, Vyvyan Jardine, Catherine Dwyer and Ella Dwyer

Mr Howard was given the task of finding Germans long-term work and a chance to rebuild their lives after six years of war.

“The Germans were so friendly to us,” he said.

“They were so thankful for any help and just happy to have the war done and over.

“I also helped to try and release a lot of the German prisoners of war from the Russians, which was also extremely difficult.”

Mr Howard said he remembered the Russians, French, US and British dividing up Berlin and the building of a dividing wall that would be a precursor to the Cold War.

Born in Sussex, England, in 1920, Mr Howard was one of eight children.

He made the move to Australia in April 1955 and married his lifelong partner Bette in Canberra in 1971.

“We lived in most states across Australia before settling in Canberra and eventually at Tweed Heads,” he said.

Bette moved into St Martha’s with her husband but passed away in 2019.

Despite having limited hearing, mostly from his time working with artillery, Mr Howard still enjoys a red wine most nights and enjoys following the Carlton AFL team.

Thieves target beachgoers at Fingal Head POLICE ARE warning Tweed Coast residents to keep vehicles locked after cars were broken into during broad daylight at Fingal Head this week.

Tweed Police issued a notice on Tuesday, March 3, stressing the importance of personal security after goods were stolen from cars on Letitia Road, Fingal Head “over the last few days”.

The offences are committed during daylight hours while the owners were at the beach.

Vehicle windows were broken and valuables such as coins, sunglasses, handbags, wallets and backpacks were stolen from consoles.

Police said they will be patrolling the area in an attempt to identify the offenders.

They asked the community to help by reporting any suspicious behaviour to Tweed Heads Police station on (07) 5506 9499 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

“Do not leave valuables in your cars as it motivates offenders to break into your car,” a police spokesperson said.

“If your wallet is stolen, cancel your credit/debit cards immediately to prevent further fraud offences from being committed.

“Share this information with other people using the area.”

Lock up your cars and keep valuables out of sight, urge police.

Disappointment over Rural Land Strategy Mayor Milne responds to Land Strategy concerns Mr Hammill said the views of landholders were confirmed by three significant public meetings and a local petition with 3,000 signatures received in support of second dwellings “most of these signatures were subsequently rejected by Council”.

“Our members are somewhat gobsmacked that our council will reject more rural housing with a soft footprint as it is subtlety dispersed and integrated into the rural landscape, providing rural villages and schools with more people they desperately need,” he said.

“The RLS looks set to prevent second dwellings on land under 40 hectares and land with a slope greater than 12 degrees.

“With most of the 40-hectare blocks being on the flood plain where you cannot build and then much of the balance of the shire being land steeper than 12 degrees, any provisions for second dwellings in the RLS are a complete trojan horse.”

Mr Hammill said during the workshop Council and government agencies repeated “fervent speculative obsession of turning grazing land into Australia’s food bowl”.

“State authorities have mapped and classified 90 per cent of Tweed rural land as unsuitable or worse for sustained agricultural production,” Mr Hammill said.

A view which is supported by David Peasley, from Peasley Horticultural services.

Mr Peasley spent 30 years as district horticulturist with the DPI including mapping soils of the Tweed and advising farmers before the mass exodus north of the local banana, avocado and vegetable industries.

Mr Peasley said that the utopian view still exists that agriculture will still be the backbone of the shire.

“It is obvious to me that the future of the Tweed rural lands is now in lifestyle living and tourism” he said Mr Hammill said that his own 58-hectare property will only carry a maximum of 25 breeders.

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Mayor Katie Milne has responded rural landholders’ concerns around the Draft Rural Land Strategy and says councillors must prioritise the long-term common good over individual short-term benefits.

Mayor Milne said the question for Council, and ultimately NSW Planning, is whether additional dwellings on rural properties would be beneficial or detrimental to agriculture and the shire as a whole, now and into the future.

“The immediate benefits of a second dwelling are obvious and acknowledged for this generation of current landholders,” she said.

“A second house and property value uplift is understandably desirable, but Tweed Rural Sustainability Alliance (TRSA) President David Hammill, who is not a farmer, refuses to recognise any negative impacts that will be felt by this or the next generations.”

Mayor Milne said there have always been calls by some rural landholders to either subdivide or obtain extra dwelling entitlements.

“This has been debated in Tweed for decades with high demand for properties an everpresent temptation in a rural sector that has been dealt many blows, and sees a quick fix through housing,” she said.

“Tweed’s agricultural landscape was severely fragmented by subdivision that was allowed up until the 1980s when the brakes were finally put on by the State Government.

“Additional housing in the rural areas is not supported by the Department of Primary Industries, the key agency tasked to ensure the long-term viability of our agricultural sector.

“They have highlighted Tweed’s high rainfall as an important asset for agriculture for the state with increasing drought patterns.”

Mayor Milne said Council had reached an informal consensus compromise to investigate the implications of an extra dwelling on the 10-plus hectare properties.

“Instead of acknowledging this compromise TRSA has shifted the goal posts and now

wants two dwellings on every single rural block down to the smallest lot size,” Mayor Milne said.

“The TRSA’s claim that Council does not care for the environment, the economic sustainability, or the social wellbeing of our rural communities is ridiculous and offensive.

“Council could easily take the populist position to appease these generational landholders but the issue is too important for Tweed’s agricultural future and rural and tourism character.

“Not all rural landholders or agricultural groups support TRSA’s position.”

Tweed Shire Councillor Warren Polglase said Council will take on board the issues raised by the rural landholders and he supported some of the proposed changes.

Cr Polglase said the issues raised would be included and he felt the process needed to move forward.

“There’s not going to be a consensus on some of the inputs proposed. All the farmers are asking for is an opportunity,” Cr Polglase said.

Cr Polglase mentioned a clear divide had emerged between The Greens and conservatives which he said came about when Mayor Milne put through her 12 amendments to the Draft RLS. “I think this has to stop, a line has been drawn in the sand,” he said.

“We will always have our differences, but we need to make compromises on both sides.

“The compromises could be adding in some of the suggested changes from the rural landholders.

“There may be some disappointed landholders, however, as they may not get everything they want, put they’ve been requested.

“But we need to get this document into NSW Planning as soon as possible.

“Once the strategy has been accepted, we have a responsibility to take this back to the community to develop a list of what the community believe are priorities in the strategy are.”

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Council’s Draft Rural Land Strategy (RLS) workshop on Wednesday, February 26, has been described as a “sad disappointment” for the Tweed’s rural sector, according to key stakeholders attending the meeting.

Tweed Rural Sustainability Alliance (TRSA) President David Hammill said Council made it clear they had “no genuine interest in the workload and cost endured by rural landholders in maintaining the Tweed environment that we all enjoy and that the Tweed community should give the rural landholders the ability to be able to fund this caretaking of our beautiful Tweed Valley”.

“There seems to be little empathy for the social wellbeing of rural communities and villages,” Mr Hammill told The Weekly following the meeting.

Mr Hammill said TRSA formed an alliance between the Cane Growers Association, The Chamber of Commerce and Combined Tweed Rural Industries, “so as to better represent rural stakeholders’ views”.

“The group represents the vast majority of Tweed rural landowners and has repeatedly put forward the wishes of their members to change the RLS,” he said.

“The Alliance says the rural land holders that they represent almost unanimously agree that the benefits of second dwellings on rural blocks affect communities at many levels by having a direct positive impact for the environment, facilitating the financial and human resource needed for upkeep of the land,” he said.

“They also have positive impacts on populating local villages and schools. Allowing intergenerational family support and cohesion and our ageing farmers to age in place) and by providing supply relief to the Tweed rental and housing crisis, having a flow through impact on housing affordability.”

Explosion of butterflies across Tweed Celebrating 75 years of marriage

By Jo Kennett RECENT RAINS have led to an explosion of Lemon Migrant butterflies and we are about to get an even bigger migration of Blue Tiger butterflies according to a Brisbane butterfly expert.

President of Butterflies and other Invertebrates Club and butterfly breeder, Ross Kendall, told The Weekly the population of the yellow butterflies had ballooned because the long dry period followed by good rain has provided the perfect breeding conditions.

The Lemon Migrant is found across tropical Australia and throughout eastern parts of Qld and NSW and sometimes migrate from south to north, giving them their name.

“They occur in the Brisbane area all year, but they move down south in summer,” Mr Kendall said.

“The Lemon Migrants have had a big boom since the rains.

“They rely on food plants for their caterpillar larvae and in the drought that is in short supply and there are only a small number of adults around.

“At the same time, because of the reduced number of caterpillars and butterflies in the dry the population of parasitic flies and wasps that live off them also drops.

“When the rains come, the remaining butterfly adults are able to lay eggs on the appropriate host plants and the first couple of generations are fairly secure from the parasitic wasps and flies because the population of those is low.”

Mr Kendall said a generation of butterflies is three weeks to a month which is the time they take to go from an egg to a butterfly.

“One female butterfly can lay hundreds of eggs,” Mr Kendall said.

“By the second and third generation those parasitic wasps and flies are in paradise with so many caterpillars to eat so their

population explodes as well, and the Lemon Migrant population goes down.

Mr Kendall said a second migration was about to hit northern NSW. “Millions of Blue Tiger butterflies should be on the Tweed in the next day or so (arriving around March 4),” he said.

Mr Kendall said the season “has just been perfect for them”.

“The last big migration of Blue Tigers was about five years ago when we had a good wet season,” he said.

“Like so many things it all depends on our rainfall in Australia.”

Some butterflies endemic to Australia will only lay their eggs on the parasitic mistletoe plant.

“I’ve written the definitive reference book on mistletoes, it’s called The Mistletoes of Subtropical Qld, NSW and Victoria, it’s important as a host plant to quite a number of butterflies,” Mr Kendall told The Weekly.

Mr Kendall was also keen on a bit of myth busting.

“Contrary to popular myth, butterflies live for weeks and months,” Mr Kendall said.

“I breed lots of butterflies and I see Blue Tigers that live six or seven months.”

By Jonathon Howard WHEN JOAN and Alan Williams first tied the knot 75 years ago the world was at war with Germany and there was little time for pleasantries in Australia.

The year was 1944, Alan wore his best military garb while Joan found a secondhand dress and the loving pair marched down to the local church.

“I remember the dress which required some minor adjustments, but it looked great,” Mrs Williams said.

“We didn’t have much time for big weddings back then - there was a war on.”

The couple celebrated 75 happy years at their Bolton Clarke Darlington home with friends and family.

The couple were married in Perth on January 20, the same day the RAF made its heaviest raid on Berlin with 700 bombers dropping more than 2,300 tonnes during the 11th raid of the Battle of Berlin.

Both Joan and Alan were enlisted at the time with Joan driving army vehicles and Alan an army mechanic.

“Joan was 19 and I was 21,” Mr Williams said.

“There was a weekly dance at the local hall and that was our first date.”

Mr Williams said he didn’t have a lot of advice for a long and happy marriage, but luck may have played a part.

“Our relationship is all luck,” Mr Williams said.

“Never had any big issues as a couple, but we also never take each other too seriously.”

Alan and Joan Williams have spent 75 glorious years together. Inset is the couple’s wedding day

Penny Brady Bromley’s Denture Clinic

I congratulate the many women in business in Murwillumbah and the Tweed Valley who on a daily basis take on leadership roles through being proprietors, managers or mentors to younger women.

Readers may be familiar with my political career as a Member of the NSW Legislative Council from 1995 to 2003, Federal Member for Page from 2007 to 2013, and now serving my first term as State Member for Lismore.

I became a teacher and a lawyer inspired by my passion for and experience in advocating for justice and human rights.

This has taken me from representing clients and communities locally to working for United Nations missions internationally.

Before politics and the law, I worked in a variety of jobs which instilled in me what a hard day’s work really was.

Living in the Tweed for over 30 years, Penny is a true local.

Working at Bromley’s Denture Clinic for 15 years, she prides herself in getting to know and assist the local community.

Bromley’s Denture Clinic originally opened in 1998 by Penny’s father, John Bromley. As the business evolved John’s daughters joined the fold, eventually leading to John’s retirement with Penny taking on the clinic with some assistance from her sister.

Starting with the clinic in 2005, Penny was trained in Brisbane and became a registered Dental Prosthetist in 2012 – winning the Carl Ring award for Academic Achievement in her graduating class. Her customers will tell you she is patient, caring and understanding. She has a wealth of knowledge, and is always looking for

ways to further that knowledge in order to stay at the forefront of the industry. Penny is always eager for a challenge and enjoys applying her skills to meet each customer’s individual requirements.

After leaving school at 13, I worked in an abattoir, a canning factory, in hairdressing, managing a women’s refuge, was a publican and a TAFE teacher.

Penny is community and family focussed and on top of running the Denture Clinic with her sister, she is also a busy mother. You will often see her over the weekends at her daughter’s swim training or nippers.

I know how education can be transformational; it was and is for me. I grew up as a battler and now I am in a unique position to make a difference by helping and empowering others to reach their full potential. Let us celebrate our achievements on this International Women’s Day.

If you have any denture concerns or questions, feel free to contact Bromley’s Denture Clinic on 0755232555 to arrange a complementary appointment with Penny.

By Jonathon Howard IT’S TIME to celebrate the Tweed Shire’s amazing local businesswomen in the lead up to International Women’s Day on Sunday, March 8, with this year’s theme: #EachforEqual.

The Weekly is celebrating our local women this week with many leaders in their field across politics, retail, beauty services, pharmacy, real estate and more.

The Tweed Shire is lucky to have such an amazing number of leading women, who are passionate about their careers and embrace life in the beautiful Tweed Shire.

The Weekly’s special Women in Business feature asked the questions: “What is the biggest challenge you have faced as a woman in business? And what advice would you give to other young women going into business?”.

You can read all the responses across the next seven pages with some great advice for other women entering the business world, or anyone who needs some extra support.

There are also a range of events taking place across the Tweed Shire for International Women’s Day including the Coolangatta Tweed VIEW Club event on Monday, March 9, at the South Tweed Sports Club.

The meeting is set to start at 10am for morning tea with three outstanding guest speakers focusing on the theme: I am generation equality: Realising Women’s Rights.

A late change to the speakers has resulted in the inclusion of National Councillor of VIEW, Rosie McDermott, who will speak on the topic: “As women we have a voice, don’t be afraid to speak out”.

The cost is $16, all are welcome, and the event starts at 10am.

Being a working mum, one of the biggest challenges I face as a woman in business is finding a balance between my work and home life.

My business is politics and I

I have a young daughter and in order to be successful in my business endeavours, I have found it is very important to take time out to be present with my family when the opportunity presents itself.

The best piece of advice I would give young women going into business is to do something that you enjoy.

Not only does it play into the age old saying: ‘If you love what you do you will never work a day in your life’, you will find your success more fulfilling. Also, never give up.

Kristie Hoffman – Elders Tweed Valley Real Estate Finding the right kind of balance between family and work life, mum guilt is something most of us can relate to.

Back yourself, you are more capable than you think, trust in your abilities and always work on improving your craft.

Attitude is key, stay away from negativity and surround yourself with people you respect and who inspire you.

Supporting each other is something I am extremely passionate about; when we as women support each other,

love it, as I get to care for our community and represent people.

Oh the challenges are plenty, but like women in business I meet them head on and bat them away. I am a great believer in how education and training can be transformational in any field.

Katherine came from a Sydney corporate background and used her marketing and business skills to expand the Post Office’s product lines into an extensive range of children’s books, quality greeting cards and stationery.

She embraced Australia Post’s push into technical products, banking facilities with most of the major banks and credit unions, money transfers, travel money and insurance plus photographs for passports and bus licences and saw the business thrive. The post office in Prospero Street has become the main ATM for South Murwillumbah for deposits and withdrawals. Payment of rates, telephone, energy and other utilities as well telephone credit is also available.

Katherine is proud to say South Murwillumbah Post Office has won the Top Award for sales, business operations and customer service out of 80 Northern Region Licensed Post Offices for several months in the past few years. Although the business was wiped out in the March 2017 flood

she and her husband have rebuilt and modernised the shop and can offer even more services such as tax file numbers, police and identity checks, forklift licence renewals and land title transactions.

She believes the key to this Post Office’s outstanding success is “personalised” customer service and having fun with “all my wonderful customers who come from far and wide to support us.”

What is the biggest challenge you have faced as a women in business?

And what advice would you give to other young women going into business?

Women in Business Rhonda Robinson- Top Dog Academy

My biggest challenge being a woman in business is maintaining interesting and valuable services to ensure repeat clientele and stand out from the competitors.

My advice to young women would be to make sure you always strive for improvement and go above and beyond client expectations.

“I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse” - Florence Nightingale For myself personally I feel that the biggest challenge for women in business is finding a work life balance. Particularly if like me you have a young family at home. Learning to split your time and energy between building a successful and sustainable business and also being the partner and mother that a young family needs.

My advice to women starting out in business is to take the time to build strong relationships with others in the community around you. I have been very fortunate to have a reliable squad around me - from my book keeper and my local bank manager to my invaluable delivery drivers. These relationships support and assist you in your business journey and make the challenging days a little easier.

C assie comes from a s trong floris tr y background having grown up with her parents owning and operating a busy florist shop on the North side of Brisbane for over 25 years.

Cassie was learning the basic concepts at a very young age and has been mastering and building on those skills ever since.

Cassie was a florist with Williams Group for 2 years prior to being given the opportunity to make the Florist Department her own with the change of ownership. “The transition from Williams Group to Devoted to Flowers was a smooth one. The Williams Group team have been very helpful with the process and the community was very supportive of us from the beginning. We have continued to grow our relationship with our local customers and support the community in new and exciting ways”.

With over 45 years of dog handling experience, the woman behind Top Dog Academy, Rhonda Robinson, continues with her dream & passion to assist as many dog owners in the growing Tweed Shire learn how to effectively communicate & train their dogs to become socially well behaved & reliable pets. By implementing many positive & fun training exercises into her programs from her studies with world renowned obedience champions has set her apart from her competitors.

Ultimately, the primary benefit for owners undertaking training is to use obedience commands to save their dogs life in need, protect them from harm & learn how to raise them to be confident and independent.

Secondly, raising a sociable, obedient dog by applying mental & physical stimulation, results in content dogs & provides safety & harmony in the community.

And lastly, studies show, regular activity with your dog has many health benefits therefore uniting like-minded people in the community with a

common interest in a fun environment can only be a successful combination!

Rhonda has personally assisted over 1600 clients since establishing Top Dog Academy 10 years ago, and they range from mums and dads to PTS & mental health suffers, disabled, school enrichment programs & foster carers.

Top Dog Academy specialises in puppy (8 weeks to 16 weeks) & dog obedience training for all ages over 16 weeks of age. There are up to 8 classes per week, plus private consultations and exclusive boarding facilities with a focus on daily training offered.

Many of her clients have referred their family & friends and are returning with new puppies or dogs to train due to the success they have had in the past training with Top Dog Academy.

Classes are held at Bogangar Public School Cabarita Beach & in the Kingscliff area. Call Rhonda for further details.

Women in Business Kathy Ward– Laser Skin and Beauty

I think the most difficult thing facing women in business would be balancing your life and work. It can be difficult, but I think my main advice would be put a plan in place as to when you work, the hours you work and also the hours you have for your family as well as time for yourself. This will keep you in good stead for running a successful business. As for young women I think absolutely give it a go. I believe women are full of strength and wonderful leaders.

Alicia Broom established Flowers Tea & Gifts only four years ago, in 2016, but this has not held her back in becoming one of the most respected and popular local florist stores within the Tweed and Southern Gold Coast region. She has won numerous awards over the years, and this year she is also a finalist in the Australian Small Business Champion Awards for the 2nd year in a row.

In 2019, with an impending rent increase, Alicia made the challenging decision to relocate the FT&G store to Stuart St in Tweed heads.

The new location is busier and in a more vibrant, up and coming area of Tweed Heads which has worked wonders. It is close to major apartment complexes, a function centre, two primary schools and Tweed Mall is one block away.

Locals also frequent this area, drawn to the range of popular cafes and restaurants and other complementary businesses located nearby, with many of them wandering into FT&G to browse or purchase.

This has increased traffic flow to the store and brought a whole range of new customers. However, it is their amazing regulars who have continued to support FT&G and have kept them going throughout the transition of the business.

Nancy Evans – Organic Rosehip Skin Care

They also have many clients located in Sydney and Melbourne who have family in this area. These clients usually contact FT&G via phone or the website. The team happily work with them to design an arrangement, gift basket or gift from our range for their family member to enjoy.

Patience in teaching and working with others. Having a vision to focus on and dreams of the heart to peruse.

32 Clean Up Australia Day a Success Thursday, March 5, 2020

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Hastings Point Clean Up biggest ever

By Jo Kennett HASTINGS POINT has had its biggest Clean Up Australia Day turnout ever, up from around 15 to more than 50 locals and visitors.

That was mostly thanks to the Environmental Officers from St Anthony’s Primary School in Kingscliff who convinced their fellow students to join locals to clean up the popular weekend and holiday spot.

Year 5 student and Environmental Vice Captain Connor Edwards said they found a lot of rubbish, particularly beer bottles, many of them broken.

“If would like people to keep them until they find a rubbish bin,” he said.

“It was really good the other kids from school turned up.

“It’s important everything doesn’t get filled with rubbish and the beaches get dirty and the ocean animals like turtles swallow bags and die.”

Environmental Vice Captain Sienna Lockwood said she and Connor thought a beach clean-up would be good.

“We chose Hastings Point because it would probably have a bit of rubbish because it’s a really nice place and a lot of people come here,” Sienna said.

“We had a lot of kids from our school and we got heaps of rubbish and we will be back next year for sure.

“I love the environment and when I’m older I want to help the environment because the world is dying, and I want it to grow.

“Some people are completely oblivious to what is happening around them and I want them to know.”

Sienna’s mum Angela said seven families have come from St Anthony’s and around 40 people.

“The kids saw a need to clean up an area that they spend a lot of time in,” Ms Lockwood said.

“They thought they would try to rally as many kids as they could from school.

“To see that the kids drove that and put up posters and talked to the kids at school about the importance of looking after their environment: the ripple effect is huge for the kids.

“Kids are a lot more switched on to looking after the environment and are a lot more aware of the fallout from not looking after the environment; they can see that fallout when they watch TV. “They are almost teaching us now that we have to get up and do things like this to make a difference.”

Kye Thierjung was one of the most committed volunteers from the school “I like how we picked up every bit of rubbish we saw,” he said.

“We picked up glass and bags and I even picked up some dog poo.

“No matter what we faced we picked it up.”

Environmental Captain at St Anthony’s Primary School Charla Bridge said she was really surprised how many people turned up at Hastings Point for the clean-up.

“I’m really happy how many kids came from the school to help,” Charla said.

“I was away on Friday, but Connor and Sienna and some other people talked about it to the whole school.

“They put posters up everywhere as well.

“If I had one message, I would love everyone to get up and try to make the world a better place.”

Local legends cleaning up the Tweed IT WAS the 30th anniversary of Clean up Australia Day on Sunday, March 1, and the fine weather saw concerned residents come out in droves to help keep the Tweed Shire beautiful and combat the threat of rubbish to our marine life and seabirds.

Students from the Tweed’s preschools, primary and high schools also took part in the Schools Clean up Day on Friday, February 28.

Tweed Shire Councillor Chris Cherry said that 26 volunteers cleaned up Wooyung.

“Mum has been organising it now for more than 30 years so everyone who lives in Wooyung volunteers to do a specific section,” Cr Cherry said.

“We lucked out and got the beach from the southernmost part of the shire so managed to have a swim at the end to cool off.

“A lot less rubbish this year though so maybe the container deposit scheme is having an effect. Good times.

“Thank you to all who volunteered yesterday; the world is a better place because of these small actions.”

Chilli Festival coordinator Jason O’Connor wants Tweed Shire residents to get into Chilli Festival

It’s Chinderah Chilli Festival time

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE residents are invited to experience the third annual Chinderah Chilli Festival for charity at the Cudgen Leagues Club on Saturday, March 7, from 11am.

Chilli Festival coordinator Jason O’Connor said the festival celebrates flavour and fire for a good cause.

“Not everything is hot so don’t be scared,” he said.

“The Cudgen Leagues Club will heave with the hot stuff, every stall and food truck has to incorporate chilli in some way, even the chocolate stall and beer garden.”

Mr O’Connor said during the last two events the festival has raised more than $7,300 for local SES, VRA and Scouts.

“We’re always supporting a worthy cause, this year we’re supporting Tweed VRA and CASPA Services via a $2 entry per person.

“The monster charity raffle with goodies from every vendor are hot tickets to buy at the CASPA tent.”

The festival will also have plenty of activities for kids.

“Food festivals are usually boring for little ones, but not this one,” Mr O’Connor said.

“There will be a petting zoo, face-painting, pony rides, plus lots of fun food for them to enjoy,” he said.

“The free Fruit & Icy Pole competition is on twice and CASPA will host free rock painting and free mini Olympics.”

There’s also plenty more reasons to visit the Chilli Festival this year including music by DJ Dom, the Cudgen Leagues Beer Garden and more than 50 stalls sampling and selling the finest chilli related merchandise this side of the Murphys Creek Chilli Festival.

“World food trucks will be pumping out freshly cooked food for you to enjoy plus vegan, vegetarian dishes and all have a plate under $10,” he said.

“The Club’s Hornets Café serving their non chilli menu all day.”

Popular local rockers Catchpole are set to perform on Friday, March 6

Catchpole to rock the Kingscliff Hotel

By Jo Kennett FIVE PIECE local rockers Catchpole will be shaking things up at the Kingscliff Beach Hotel this Friday night, March 6 from 7pm.

It will be a night of firsts: their first gig at the Kingy Hotel and first gig of the year for the band who have been busy working on their new single Broadbeach South.

It’s only been out for a week now and has already hit over 1,000 streams on Spotify.

Their previous single Vanessa had 40,000 streams, with debut single Watermelon getting

170,000 hits, a testament to the talent and growing popularity of the band.

The band draws influence from a range of sounds including reggae, blues, pop, funk, folk and alternative, but it’s the rock music they were raised on that really informs their sound.

The band cites the Red Hot Chili Peppers, INXS, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Powderfinger, Ocean Alley, Sticky Fingers and Matt Corby, as key influences and are looking forward to sharing their high energy sounds with the Tweed Coast audience.

Flickerfest is coming to The Regent

Talking FOR SAMA

with Mia

84239

THE ICONIC Flickerfest Tour is heading back to the Regent Cinema in Murwillumbah on Sunday, March 15, with the very best shorts from around Australia and fresh from the Flickerfest 2020 Bondi competition.

Included in the line-up of award winning shorts is The Widow, starring Steve Bastoni (Neighbours, Wentworth) and Daniela Farinacci (Lantana, Glitch) and coproduced by Catherine McQuade who lived in Murwillumbah for a period in the mid 90s, during which time her daughter was born.

Both Catherine McQuade and Director Brendan Young will be in attendance at the screening.

Strangers, a tender short set in an agedcare facility where two female residents are discovered in bed with one another was produced by Liam Heyen, who grew up in Ocean Shores and went to school at Mount St Patrick College in Murwillumbah before moving to work in the film industry coproducing Top End Wedding and Cleverman amongst others.

Celebrating its 29th year in 2020 Flickerfest remains Australia’s leading Academy Qualifying and BAFTA recognised short film festival, ensuring that it continues to present the best short film programmes recognised amongst the best in the world.

Films are hand-picked from the festival’s record 3,500 entries for Flickerfest’s ten-day event held at Bondi in January.

Highlights from the Best of Australian Shorts include the fabulous winner of the Best Australian Short animation award at Flickerfest 2020, Rebooted, directed by Michael Shanks about a moviestar who just so happens to be a stop motion animated skeleton monster, coming to terms with ageing, the charming short Chicken from Alana Hicks who was awarded Best Direction in an Australian Short Film at the Flickerfest Awards Ceremony in Bondi. Given a special mention for Best Australian Short Film at Flickerfest 2020 was The Egg by Jane Cho in which a young girl, bored and lonely in a world of foreign suburbia, becomes determined to claim a larger Easter egg as her own, under the watchful eye of an elderly woman.

A war story is most often told from the point of view of the men who fight in it, but the recently released, Oscar-nominated documentary For Sama is a rare example of a war story told from a woman’s perspective.

A still from For The Girl In The Coffee Shop

The producer, director and protagonist of the film is a young woman, Waad Al-Kateab, who recorded her life through five years in Aleppo, before and during the uprising in the city. When it started in 2011 Al-Kateab was an 18-year-old marketing student at the University of Aleppo participating in protests against president Bashar al-Assad’s dictatorship. Al-Kateab began filming her experiences, and gradually realized her camera was her best weapon of activism, documenting atrocities and injustices from which enemies and even allies choose to look away.

She then met and fell in love with Hamza, a medical student. While others fled the country when the crisis became an all-out war, she and Hamza decided to stay, setting up a volunteer hospital to treat the war-wounded.

Al-Kateab gives birth to her first daughter, Sama, and experiences motherhood while the conflict keeps engulfing the city. Eventually she and her husband have to face the agonizing choice of either fleeing to safety or staying behind to help the innocent victims of war.

The whole film is conceived as a letter addressed to Sama: it is her mother’s attempt to explain the waking nightmare she brought a child into. The film is edited to allow the narrative to slip back and forth in time, so that we observe how, in an environment where even air strikes become grimly mundane events, the couple tries to live life as “normal” as possible: we see their intimate, celebratory wedding ceremony, and their moving attempts to make a home in Aleppo.

A still from Rebooted

Eventually, the prospect of raising a child in such impossible circumstances must be faced: “Now I wish I hadn’t given birth to you,” Al-Kateab confesses at one critical juncture and “Will you blame me for staying here or blame me for leaving?”

Mixing a personal story with political history, the film helps a young woman to find her voice as an activist, as an artist and as a parent amidst the crashing noise of warfare.

By Jonathon Howard SEVERAL TWEED Shire business leaders have overcome their fear of heights to raise vital funds for the Lismore Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter as part of the Leaders Leap on Friday, February 28.

Each of the 13 Tweed Shire business leaders raised as much as they could before they rappelled down the side of the Southern Cross University building from 9.30am.

The event was launched to close the gap on funding for the Lismore-based Westpac Recuse Life Saver Helicopter, which requires a whopping $3.5 million per year to operate.

Westpac Rescue Life Saver Helicopter marketing manager Zeke Huish said the results from the fundraiser were “outstanding” and he hinted at running the Leaders Leap again next year.

“It was such a great event,” he said.

“We really want to extend a big thank you to the Southern Cross University for the use of their building.

“We are already looking at another event next year, but we’re still working through this year and will have more announcements in the near future.”

A total of 13 leaders took the leap this year including Tropical Fruit World general manager Aymon Gow, Tweed Byron Police District Superintendent Dave Roptell, The Northern Co-operative Meat Compan, CHG Integrated Wealth owner Shaun Costello, Smile Street owner Ramesh Sivabalan, Liverpool FC International Academy general manager Scott Collis, LJ Hooker Kingscliff licensee Paul McMahon, Varela & Swift Pharmacy owner Skye Swift, Westpac Kingscliff and Murwillumbah, Gold Coast Airport chief operating officer Marion Charlton, The MBA Partnership, Lismore Marist Brothers player Brandon Williams and RBR Property Consultants.

Dental Health

Denture Clinic Denture Problems? 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.

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. Lef t untreated, the rubbing continues until the skin on the gum breaks causing a painful ulceration. This

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.

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.

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 Cutaway section of a typical electric hot water heater

FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in the Tweed & Gold Coast area FREE OF CHARGE.

A VERY successful NSW Titles for our Junior Team at SwanseaBelmont last week. The club finished 16th in the point score on 50 points and were second to Warilla-Barrack Point on 69 in the Country Point Score.

Medals went to our U10 female board relay - Charlie Mills, Jarrah Onley and Isabella Arghyros winning Gold. In the U11 boys surf, Jake Tickle won Silver as did Piper Phillips and Fray Hutchison in the U11 girls board rescue. Bronze medals were gained by Piper Phillips in the U11 Female Iron and the U12

girls board team of Leya Hutchison, Ava Arghyros and Isabella Tate.

Just missing a medal in fourth spot were Deacon Streader in the U13 Male Flags, Lachlan Argyhros in the U11 Board and Piper Phillips in the U11 Board. The U11 Cameron Relay was also just pipped for a medal and Chloe Mills in the Girl’s U14 board. Four fifth and two sixth placings gained points.

It has been a good week of training for the Senior Squad after some carnage in the recent large swells with two snapped skis, one board and a paddle. We have 20 athletes heading down to the State Titles this week at Swansea-Belmont.

A decision on dates for the Club Junior and Senior Club Championships are yet to be advised with the Branch Titles now on the 14th to 15th of March and the Kingscliff Triathlon the following weekend. We are in need of IRB drivers and a Water Safety Team.

Please contact Mike on 0402 226 333 if able to assist.

Holding Shot with Judy Tuckey KINGSCLIFF WOMEN’S Singles final with Di James and Di Jones on centre rink presented with a grand display of top quality bowls throughout a hard fought duel.

Jones snatched a narrow lead early and whilst the scores levelled on 12-12 and 13-13 respectively on ends 19 and 21, “Cool Draw” Jones once again took control in this close scoring encounter. On 22-24 James had the shot after her third bowl.

Jones then delivered a clincher to grab shot. James’ last bowl was ineffective allowing Jones to pocket her last weapon, and claim her first

ever singles victory after many, many years on the greens.

Cabarita Beach Women have also completed their Singles Championship with Sue Goode and Faye Turner vying for top honours.

Whilst scoring was close during the first fourteen ends, Turner then increased the pressure and took complete control, eventually taking the title with a comfy surplus.

Pottsville’s Coral Nathan, Desley Watterson and Sue Lawrance’s tilt at the State Summer League finals at Blacktown Workers Club, last weekend, resulted in the ladies

winning all four games in their section, and, top scoring on 8 + 39 to progress to the semi-finals.

Unfortunately, the team was then eliminated with a teensy twoshot deficit following an arduous encounter in their semi against the Merimbula Splinters. A great effort from our local bowlers.

WBNSW has issued Service Certificates for continuous Membership with WBNSW to long-standing Cudgen Leagues Members.

Congratulations to Marion Hull on her 50-year record, Margaret Huddy 30 years; Isabel Nipperess 25 years; together with Sheila Thompson and Clarice Blake who have both been members for 20 years. Well done, ladies.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

AFTER A lean 2019, Snapper Rock Surfriders have announced their return to the podium at the Queensland Northern NSW Surftag National Title qualifier, held at Duranbah Beach last weekend.

Snapper won the Open, Juniors, and placed fourth in the Women’s Division, to show they are still a force to be reckoned with right across the board.

Snapper Rocks dominated the Junior Final on Saturday, Jay Occhilupo and Marlon Harrison leading the way, every team member scoring over 18 points for their combined totals, Snapper leading from start to finish.

Snapper’s women’s team did not have it their way, leading early before being run down by North End Boardriders, then the Alley snatched victory in the final seconds to the screams of their ecstatic supporters.

On Sunday, conditions were even better at Duranbah and the action was going off from the first heat. Snapper had Josh Kerr in the team, being several years since he could surf for the club, and was stoked to be able to perform for Snapper.

Snapper like all the other clubs were a little short on some of their big guns – a lot of surfers being involved in the Qualifying Series events at Newcastle, which was the same story for many of the clubs competing.

When it got down to the final, it was North End Boardriders who took the early ascendancy, with Cabarita and Pam Beach Boardriders in the hunt as well.

Josh Kerr went out and destroyed a wave with a wide array of manoeuvres, fins, tail, and rail work on show. Kerrsy has lost none of his talent and looks like he would still be at home on tour.

The rest of the team brought it home, with Josh Boyle, Dexter Muskens getting the mighty Snapper Rocks home.

The team from Cabarita performed well, Brent Savage the standout, but they ran out of steam in the final, but a great performance from the local club, and they will be a big threat at the National Surftag final on April 4 and 5 at Manly in Sydney. Go the Caba crew.

First event of Challenger Series Well after seeing some awesome waves go down in the early rounds of

the Newcastle Pro, the QS5000 will be wrapping up and the first of the Challenger Series Events will start with the Sydney Pro starting next Wednesday. These events will be vital for those looking to qualify for the 2021 World Championship Tour for men and women.

Cabarita surf Zahli Kelly missed out by one position to qualify for the tour in 2019 and this will be her first chance to grab a chance at qualifying in 2020.

Not even 17 years of age yet, Zahli is looking at a big future in surfing. She has been around in events forever, and I still remember her surfing in events as a mini-grom, wearing her pink Gath hat in surfing contests.

She has a style and ability way beyond her tender years and it not be a matter of if, but when she qualifies for the Championship Tour. As I put this week’s column together she is yet to surf, but hopefully she gets a good result in Newcastle to roll on into Sydney.

Catch you in the waves.

Things heat up in the LJ Hooker League Around the Wicket with Jo Kennett

WE ARE heading into the final round of the Two Day LJ Hooker League and there has been a shakeup of the top teams, after Pottsville’s Round 8 day-two game was cancelled on Saturday, February 29.

After playing brilliantly last week, including Mika Ekstrom taking out almost the entire Marist Brothers Lismore side for 69 runs, a wet outfield at Lismore saw the game called off as a draw.

The loss of points is a real blow to the former comp leaders who slipped into third place (37 points) with a surprise win from Lismore Workers over Tintenbar seeing them take second place.

Marist Brothers Lismore, on 31 points, are sitting in fifth spot and a good chance of getting the win in the final round over ninth placed Murwillumbah which would mean Pottsville must get a win or a draw against Casino in the final round to stay in the top four and make the semi-finals.

Cudgen went into their second day against Alstonville in top form with Alstonville all out for 92 runs and Caleb Ziebell not out for 27 (sorry for the mix up last week boys, and it was Connor who took 3/17 - as Mum says never give your kids the same initials if they are going to play cricket), with Pat Rosser not out on 39.

Skipper Caleb declared at 2/118 in Cudgen’s first innings at the crease and Suzie Ziebell said “Caleb put them straight back into bat as bowling them out and chasing the runs was better odds to have an outright win as they knew what they had to chase to get the runs”.

Some brilliant bowling from the boys - Caleb 4/14, Connor Ziebell 2/17, James Julius 3/34 and one for Alec Williams - saw Alstonville fold on 111.

Cudgen sewed the game up easily from there with Connor McDowell top scoring on 46 not out, Williams getting 28 and getting the outright victory at 2/91 with a three-point lead on Lismore Workers at the top of the ladder.

Murwillumbah had a bye.

Coastal League It was Round 16 in second grade with Terranora taking on Cudgen.

Cudgen went into bat first and the two openers didn’t last long, both bowled LBW by Anthony Colivas, the first for a duck and the second for eight runs, before Kyle Lohman settled in and top scored, run out on 45.

Cudgen was 7/125 at the end of 36 overs, then Terranora went into bat.

Opener Josh Kineally pretty well stitched up the game, not out for 75 runs, with Matt Sutton not out on 21 and Terranora overtaking Cudgen with the loss of just three wickets.

Murwillumbah played Ballina at Rabjones Oval with the Panthers winning the toss and electing to bat.

The ninth placed Panthers did a good job overall against the second placed Bears, with Harry McLean top scoring on 32 and Will McLean next best on 31 with most the boys getting some runs on the board.

Murwillumbah was all out for 136 runs.

The Bears were true to form in overtaking the Panthers (140 runs) with the loss of only three wickets.

Declan Brooks took 2/25 while Kade Hill took the other scalp.

Pottsville was due to play Lennox Head at Seabreeze Qval but a wet ground saw the game move to Lennox.

Adrian Simpkins top scored on 27 runs and Dan Thoms was next best on 13 but the boys were all out for 97 off the back of some class bowling and fielding from Lennox.

Lennox went into bat and overtook Potty at 6/99, despite some terrific bowling from the Pelicans.

Troy Thoms was sensational, taking 4/8, with Lucas Buckman backing up with 2/29 but it wasn’t quite enough to get the win.

The Thirstiers had a bye.

With two rounds to go in second grade it looks like Terranora is the only Tweed team with a shot at a semi-final berth, in fifth spot on 70 points with Lennox in fourth on 79.

Thirsty Thirds

It was round 17 of third grade with competition leaders the Cudgen Paper Wasps taking on the Thirsters Schooners at Ron Wilkinson Fields, at Tweed Heads.

The Schooners won the toss and chose to bat.

After 18 overs the Schooners only managed 71 runs with no batting breakdown available.

Daley Clarke was in brilliant form taking 5/6 with Dylan Brown taking 2/15 and Josh King and Dave Patterson also nabbing wickets.

The Wasps overtook the Schooners with the loss of just two wickets, with opener Rob Maroney top scoring on 32 and Ryan King not out on 15.

The Cudgen Stingers took on the Murwillumbah Cubs at Cudgen, with the Stingers up first.

The boys put up some good partnerships, with Jake Hall getting a half ton (bowled by Hosier and caught by McVicar on 54) and Nathan Croft being denied his half ton by McVicar (caught

by Peenz on 47). Some good totals saw the Stingers 7/200 at the end of the 40 overs.

Billy Kliendienst took 2/8, Steve Hosier took 2/9 with Glen Miller (I thought you disappeared over the English Channel in ‘44) and John McVicar taking a wicket each.

In reply Jacques Peenz top scored for the Cubs, taken down on 24 by

Kai Croft, with Miller next best on 23.

The Cubs were all out for 80 with Bodhi Perandis (2/21) Craig Evesson (2/7) and Croft taking two from two.

The Cudgen Hornets were due to play the Murwillumbah Cougars but lost on forfeit.

Fourth placed Cabarita took on second placed Pottsville at Black Rocks Oval.

The Pelicans won the toss and chose to bat.

They got off to a bit of a slow start with the three openers going down for 31 runs, before Matt France stepped up and put on a half century (51 not out) backed up by another from Adrian Lanyan (51 not out) with most the rest of the boys getting runs on the board.

Pottsville declared at 8/213 at the end of the 40 overs.

Lionel Foster took 2/25, John Fallows 2/30 and Scott Bartrim took 2/10 for the Sharks.

Caba opened in great form, with Fallows making his half century (retiring on 52) with Dane Heron run out on 39 and plenty of runs all round for the Sharks.

The game went down to the wire with Caba losing by one run in the final over.

Adrian Lanyon was the pick of the Potty bowlers at 2/46.

Next week is the final round of the competition with the Wasps, Pottsville, the Cougars and Caba taking up the top four spots and looking pretty darned unbeatable for those semi-final spots.

Tweed Coast Enduro ready to race Young triathlete in

By Jo Kennett POTTSVILLE WILL be buzzing this weekend for the Tweed Coast Enduro Triathlon with more than 850 endurance athletes from across Australia converging on the Tweed Coast.

The event has attracted a number of professional athletes, including 8-time Ironman Champion Luke McKenzie and his wife, professional triathlete Beth McKenzie.

Once known as one of the fastest cyclists in the sport, Luke raced his first triathlon at 13, climbing the ranks to become Ironman Champion in Malaysia, Japan, China, Brazil, Cairns, and Western Australia across 2008 to 2015.

“I grew up on the southern end of the Gold Coast and spent many years of my early professional career riding these roads. Beth and I were looking for an exciting local event to start our season and a road trip to Pottsville worked perfectly”, said Luke.

“Beth and I met in 2013 when I was living and racing over in the USA. She travelled to Australia for Ironman Cairns that year and I took it upon myself to be her Australian tour guide.

Weve been together ever since.”

Luke and Beth plan to finish their professional careers this year at Challenge Roth, Germany which is held July.

Organisers are expecting competition to be fierce in the Men’s Open category, as Luke is joined by 2012 Ironman World Champion Pete Jacobs, as well as Ironman 70.3 Champion Lindsey Lawry.

Tweed Coast Enduro organisers will also welcome an ITU Age Group World Qualifier for the Long Course

as part of their program for 7 March 2020.

Athletes will be looking to qualify for the 2020 ITU Multisport World Championships in Almere, Amsterdam, in September.

The event will also host a new event category, the Aquabike, which includes a 1.9km swim and 90km ride, skipping the run. The category will also be the Triathlon Queensland Championships for Aquabike.

Racing starts at 7am in Mooball Creek on an outgoing tide from Buckingham Street beach.

The 90km cycle leg then starts near the Tweed Holiday Park: Pottsville South and heads along Tweed Coast Road towards Wooyung and the wooden railway bridge.

The final leg is the 21.1km half marathon, which follows Overall Drive, the creek bank and towards Blackrocks fields.

There is also a shorter “Sprint” distance for those looking to do their first triathlon locally.

The Tweed Coast Enduro continues the proud tradition of fundraising for the Cabarita Surf Life Saving Club, and a number of other community groups including Tweed Raiders Junior Rugby League, Pottsville Cricket Club, Pottsville Croquet Club, Pottsville Men’s Shed, and the Casuarina Rugby League.

Race Director Mike Crawley thanks the residents and businesses in advance and acknowledges that this event will cause some traffic disruption.

Traffic will be closed along Tweed Coast Road between 6.00am and 11.00am; and local vehicle access to and from Overall Drive will be detoured via Anne Street from 6.30am to 2.30pm. Expect some delays.

By Jo Kennett A YOUNG Murwillumbah triathlete has placed third at the NSW All Schools Triathlon in Sydney on Wednesday, February 26.

Xane Bowen placed third in the Junior Boys category at the Sydney International Regatta Centre, at Penrith.

Coach Tweed Valley Triathletes coach Brendan Murray said the race was a 400-metre swim, a ten-kilometre bike leg and ended with a three-kilometre run.

“It’s a massive result for Xane showing that against the best in the State he is right at the pointy end,’ Mr Murray told The Weekly.

“Xane has stepped up his training commitment during the past nine months and so it’s absolutely no surprise the result he was able to achieve via hard work.

“Xane was leading the race on the bike when an on-course emergency bought the race to a stop.

“One hour and fifteen minutes later the race re-commenced by a mass start on the bike which changed the dynamic of the race but Xane still came out with a podium spot.

“Xane will now represent NSW at the National School Sport Triathlon in Hervey Bay on March 24.”

O T S DEMAND NO CUT H A B M U L L I W R MU D E L A T I P HOS PETITION TO PREVENT CUTS TO THE STAFFING LEVEL AT MURWILLUMBAH HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales.

The Petition of citizens of New South Wales, particularly residents of Murwillumbah and Tweed Valley in the Electorate of Lismore.

Brings to the attention of the House the proposal of the Northern NSW Local Health District to cut 3.08 fulltime equivalent nurses from the Murwillumbah District Hospital Emergency Department, despite the New South Wales Government’s promise to deliver more nurses and midwives.

The Murwillumbah District Hospital is highly ranked in its clinical operations and second in the state for patient satisfaction. Its Emergency Department staffing formula is a model that provides patient and nurse safety. Cuts to its nursing staff could compromise this safety.

The undersigned petitioners therefore ask the Legislative Assembly to bring these proposed cuts to the attention of the Government, ask them to have these proposed cuts stopped and for the NSW Government to honour its election promise.
