Banana Festival faces another red tape hurdle combining everything to take place at the Murwillumbah Showgrounds.”

Mrs Mudge said the festival would include a parade, markets and Banana Queen crowning, but would lose the street parade in Murwillumbah’s main street.

“The police had some real issues with some of the people marching last year,” she said.

“This has resulted in the need to significantly change our security and volunteer structure and includes a new bill that’s simply unaffordable for a small festival.”

Mrs Mudge said she believes the Banana Festival can have a long future at the Murwillumbah Showgrounds.

“It may not be the main street parade locals are used to, but the parade will

A EUNGELLA bushfire that started on Saturday, November 10, has burnt through 241 hectares of bushland with sensitive rainforest areas at risk in the Wollumbin National Park.

National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) coordinated a helicopter to commence dumping water on the bush fire on Monday, which has continued up until the time of print in a bid to spare sensitive rainforest areas.

A Ru r a l F i r e S e r v i c e ( R F S ) spokesperson told The Weekly that local firefighters have continued to monitor the fire and were coordinating back burn efforts.

“We have had fire crews from across the Tweed Valley assisting with the fire operation,” he said.

“We have undertaken several back burns to keep the fire area under control and away from any properties.”

The RFS spokesperson said the fire had shrunk during rain, less than two weeks ago, but flared up again following the return of dry and windy conditions.

“Fires such as these can burn through logs and other debris in non-exposed areas,” he said.

“We had thought the rain would help to put out the fire, but the return of dry and windy conditions helped it flare up again.”

Dozens of residents have been posting and sharing information about the fire online with many hoping for another shower on Wednesday night to further dampen the flames.

Local firefighters have found it difficult to access the fire front due to the rocky and steep terrain and the NPWS helicopter has assisted in keep the blaze at bay.

Please note the condition of the fire may have changed overnight due to the print deadline.

still happen on the Showgrounds and plus we can combine the other elements of the festival to make it a great day.”

Apex Club of Murwillumbah is also appealing for volunteers and new members to help with a range of crucial tasks.

“We are always going to need new hands and support through volunteers on the day,” she said.

“We appreciate the current volunteers we have, but they’re also stretched and there’s not many new volunteers to pick up the extra requirements.

“We would love to hear from people who can provide us with some assistance.”

By Jonathon Howard THE TWEED Valley Banana Festival street parade is in jeopardy of being cancelled in 2019, as red tape and anti-terrorism road requirements are applying pressure to the iconic parade.

Members of Apex Club of Murwillumbah have recently held crisis meetings to discuss ways to salvage the Banana Festival parade including ideas to shift the parade to the Murwillumbah Showgrounds.

Apex Club took over the Banana Festival two years ago amid fears the festival could have ended after decades of providing a platform for the community to celebrate local agriculture and raise much needed funds for local charities.

“We did get into some trouble with local authorities for the parade this year,” Apex member and Banana Festival spokesperson Carol Mudge told The Weekly.

“We have been told we need to significantly increase our security and volunteer numbers as well as developing a range of new plans to address anti-terrorism vehicle impact plan requirements and to ensure we have the security numbers.”

Mrs Mudge said the new requirements could cost as much $15,000 and it’s threatening to bring the festival to a close.

“We held a meeting last week to discuss the best way forward for the Banana Festival,” she said.

“The decision has now been made that we need to keep the festival, but we’re

Letter of the Week

CONGRATULATIONS JEAN NUTLEY You have won a double pass* to the film of your choice, courtesy of

TWEED HEADS

*Redeemable for 1 month from publication date

Thank you to the Tweed Valley Weekly and our local commercial fishers for bringing to light in recent weeks the plight of this industry and its operators.

The devastation the government is inflicting on family-run fishing businesses, and indeed the supply of local seafood is unconscionable.

And extraordinarily the government’s reform objective appears to be for the benefit of corporate interests, aquaculture industry and imports.

I have no doubt local familyrun fishing businesses operate sustainably knowing their very own future requires maintaining healthy fishing resources and ecosystems.

Fish is a healthy food source and fresh is best, imports have little to no management controls and lack of biosecurity brings disease into our ecosystems with devastating consequences.

And the environmental destruction from aquaculture is now coming to light.

Local and natural seafood supply provides many more sustainable outcomes for our region (and others) than relying on imports.

It is indeed the government that needs to improve its approach to managing our fishing resources, e c o s y s t e m s a n d wat e r way s, particularly land based activity.

This decade we have witnessed enormous backward steps that threaten the future of our aquatic ecosystems and health of our waterways.

Expenditure of public money to enhance fish habitat and wetland protection are being undermined, such as the secret deal to hand over the Crown Reserve to the airport with absolutely no assessment and contrary to legislation, statutory plan of management and policies.

This has seen to the irreversible destruction of State protected wetlands and Class 1 major fish habitat along with cumulative impacts and resulting long term environmental hazard.

The Cobaki Broadwater is considered significant as the majority of commercially and recreationally important fish species of eastern Australia rely on the estuarine environment for at least part of their life cycle.

Further, great work with public money has been undertaken in our Shire working with landholders in the upper reaches of our waterways to improve water quality and ecosystem health only to have the government now reduce buffers to just five metres.

Hospital needs transparency

First the NSW Health Department announce a major regional hospital on State Significant Farmland at Kingscliff without any prior consultation.

Then a 6,000 page development application is put forward, giving the community only 28 days to read and object to it.

Two forms are needed to object, but are only online, thus leaving out the majority of most affected elderly residents from the objections process.

The first form, the SEPP, short for State Environmental Planning Policy, concerns the rezoning of the farmland from State Significant to allowable for high rise, with no height limits.

The second for m, the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), deals with environmental impacts from the development.

Very importantly, if the SEPP rezoning process is disallowed, there can be no development of this land at all.

H o w e v e r, t h e n e w s p a p e r advertising these forms had the wrong address for the SEPP form, but the correct address for the EIS. Perhaps this was a genuine mistake from the Department of Planning.

Then the Health Department sent out a mass email called the Tweed Valley Pulse, leaving out the vital information that two forms were required, and only mentioned the EIS form. The SEPP information was completely omitted!

One has to wonder if two government departments have made genuine mistakes in informing the public of vital information, or is this just another case of the lack of

transparency which has dogged the whole site selection process.

When this is our community’s only chance of being heard, the very least we should expect from these bureaucrats is honesty and transparency, which currently is missing in action.

Hospital parking plan a mess

Paid parking for the new hospital at Cudgen/Kingscliff is just another stupidity of seemingly endless political party machinations regarding the hospital.

I invite others to support my objection. Now is the time to stop “nit-picking” and “political grandstanding” about location and get down to the “nuts and bolts’ of the hospital’s pending existence.

Charging for hospital parking is the type of money garnering which occurs in big cities (where parking is at a premium), but it is financially crippling to those needing to visit patients.

Imagine being the parent of a child with leukaemia, who gets the best possible treatment but is hospitalised for long periods?

You want to see your child; your child wants to see you, but to park costs $20 an hour.

The plan apparently is to force people to drive to the hospital, as there is a zero public transport plan to a hospital that will be bigger than the Gold Coast University Hospital.

So where will people park to avoid charges? Well, in the obvious places: in the TAFE opposite, up the hill, along the roadside, in the Kingscliff library car park and all over western Kingscliff.

And they call it planning?

Paid parking in a hospital that has ample space for free parking for staff and the public, should be a “no brainier”?

Mental health and driving

As a diagnosed and medicated person with a mental condition, I wish to reply to Anne Unsworth’s rather inflammatory letter in your paper dated Thursday, November 15.

I was first diagnosed with a mental health condition in 1997 and since then have held down a four-day-aweek job as an admin officer in local primary and high schools, as well as working as a volunteer on my day off at the Tweed RSPCA, both in the cattery and for 10 years as a voluntary bookkeeper.

In 2012, I contracted some severe type of physical illness, diagnosed

as either glandular fever or chronic fatigue syndrome, which resulted in such physical debilitation that I was forced to give up both my paid and voluntary employment, and most of my physical activities.

I live on my own, independently, and am a competent and capable 70-year-old female, who enjoys gardening and doing odd jobs around the unit to keep it in an excellent condition.

I have held a driver’s licence since 1968, and in that time I have had only two speeding fines for a minimum amount over the speed limit.

Since 1997, I have had no traffic infringements at all, neither speeding or drink or drug driving, and only one accident which occurred at the entrance to Cabarita when a man in a big four wheel drive, complete with bull bar, ignored the 50 km speed sign and ploughed into the rear of my Laser hatchback, doing at least 80 km/hr, causing whiplash but fortunately no more serious injury.

I feel I must take up the battle on behalf of my fellow human beings who may have been diagnosed with a mental condition, which can range under the definition from anxiety to paranoid schizophrenia.

The majority of these people are medicated and are aware of their driving abilities and limitations as imposed by their health professionals and do their best to uphold them and to be a safe and responsible road user.

Perhaps Anne Unsworth may like to meet me for a coffee somewhere in the near future so she can see for herself that I am not a raving lunatic, am not unstable, and do not pose any sort of threat to members of the general public or road users themselves.

She would instead find a friendly, c o u r t e o u s, c o n s i d e rat e a n d thoughtful woman of 70, who has experienced many traumatic events in her life – leading to the diagnosis initially in 1997 – and who has, in spite of many personal and financial difficulties and problems, has retained a steely determination to meet the challenges that life throws at us as human beings, with a good sense of humour and a strength of mind and purpose that will prevail.

Jean Nutley, Cabarita

What about franking credits

It’s a bit rich for Labor to attack Matthew Fraser saying he wants to cut pensions when Labor are planning to cut pensions to selffunded retirees and other low income earners by 30 per cent, with their

removal of franking credit refunds, currently designed to keep us off the public purse.

We have worked hard, saved hard, paid our taxes and now invested wisely in Australian companies to avoid being a drain on the budget.

The ALP plan favours the wealthy who will still claim the deductions on the same investments if they are not in pension phase in their super funds.

Similarly industry funds, union funds, will still claim the benefits.

I am not a member of the Nationals or any other party and am here to be won over with sound policy options and not scare campaigns like Mediscare.

Leigh Kealton, Casuarina

Hospital jobs should be a win

It appears our Greens Mayor, Katie Milne, backed by the Labor candidate, Craig Elliot, wants to stop locals from getting jobs with the construction of the new Tweed Valley Hospital.

The Greens position is predictable, but I never thought I would see a Labor person crush local job hopes.

Bruce Keppie, Kingscliff

Where have the magpies gone

I have been living in Kingscliff for 15 months and where we had magpies in our garden.

We heard their song every morning and my newly planted garden was free of snails and insect pests.

However, this breeding season the magpies have disappeared.

As a result I have snails and insect pests.

There is no morning bird song either.

Occasionally I hear a song during the day but only briefly.

I hope someone can tell me where these beautiful birds have gone and solve the problem.

Magpies are territorial and usually defend their territory but the birds that we had seem to have deserted their territory.

If they are being fed by a bird lover then the equilibrium is being upset and the birds are becoming dependent on that food.

Then as the young birds develop they cannot fend for themselves.

Wildlife experts all advise very strongly against feeding native birds.

I hope someone can shed some light on where all the magpies have gone?

Funding relief for much-loved local Banana Man No extraction monitoring

By Megan Albany AFTER HITTING hard times during the 2017 floods, local banana farmer Kevin Gilbert wound up living in a tent. Down but not out, Mr Gilbert set about saving to purchase a caravan.

On November 1 of this year, a violent storm destroyed not only his caravan and car, but also damaged precious personal items and his only work vehicle.

“He had to claim bankruptcy when we had the flood a few years ago and the caravan was his way of getting back on his feet,” said daughter Shelby Gilbert.

“When the tree fell on him during the storm, it put him back to ground zero and he lost everything again and he’s currently living in a packing shed.”

Despite yet another set-back, the respected and hard-working local, known for his community work and long time volunteering with the banana festival, was determined to bounce back.

“Dad’s a very proud man so at the start he didn’t want to be helped by anyone but he definitely needed it,” said Ms Gilbert.

When neighbouring Carrara Markets stallholders Fruitopian Delight and Guinea’s Farm heard about the plight of their fellow farmer they started a Go Fund Me campaign to try to help.

“I have a stall at Carrara markets and we normally start around 2am,” farmer Tony Guinea said.

“The morning of the storm Kevin came in looking white as a ghost so I asked him what was wrong.

“He told me he had just come out of hospital and at first I thought he was joking but then he showed us the big split down the centre of his head where a tree had come down over his bed.

“He was knocked unconscious and when he came to, he walked across to

a neighbouring property, borrowed a truck and drove to the hospital.”

Mr Guinea said that amazingly, Mr Gilbert had then gone on to drive straight from the hospital to start work as usual at his market stall.

“He’s been doing it hard and he had lost everything and was living in the caravan so to lose that too was a bit too much.”

After launching the Go Fund Me campaign, word spread quickly and it took the local community only six days and 84 people to reach the target amount of $10,000 to help purchase a new caravan and put a roof back over Mr Gilbert’s head.

“I didn’t expect it to happen that quick,” Mr Guinea said.

“It’s like Santa Clause just came. I’ve been trying to get him to move in with us but he wouldn’t come.

“It’s like trying to drag an old goanna out of the scrub but now with this money we’ll be able to get him right.”

Despite having reached their target goal, Mr Guinea said the campaign will

remain open while donations continue to roll in.

“If we exceed our goal then we can get a couple of tanks up there for him and get him some running water,” he said.

“He’s a tough fella, but we’ll make a gentlemen out of him again, poor bugger.”

While the fiercely independent and very private Kevin Gilbert was reticent to speak to the press he did agree to speak briefly to The Weekly to express his gratitude.

“I just want to say thank you very much for all the help and support and to give a special thanks to Murwillumbah Smash Repairs who fixed up my truck for free so I could continue working,” Mr Gilbert said.

“I didn’t ask for any help it was Butch’s (Tony Guinea’s) idea, but I’m very appreciative of it all.”

THE NEWLY formed water regulator, the Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR), has revealed there is no monitoring of water extraction in the Tweed Shire as they investigate four water extraction operators.

The Weekly put several questions to NRAR following the announcement of an independent review into water extraction for the purposes of bottling across Northern NSW. “While these investigations are not yet complete, NRAR has required three plant operators to install accredited water meters on each of their extraction bores by early next year,” an NRAR spokesperson said.

“The fourth plant was found to have adequate meters on individual extraction bores.

“NRAR will continue to monitor water take activities on the north coast.”

The Weekly questioned whether the Tweed currently has any groundwater monitoring bores.

“The monitoring bore network has, to date, focused on areas of high groundwater use or where there are specific management requirements,” the NRAR spokesperson said.

“There are monitoring bores in the area for purposes such as water quality monitoring associated with projects and sites.

“Currently, extractive industries can be asked to monitor their extraction as conditions of consent while Councils also have the ability to require them.”

The questions to NRAR follow a search of Water NSW’s website, which offers a live map of bores across NSW including those that are groundwater monitoring bores and telemetred bores.

The Weekly found zero groundwater monitoring and metred bores across the Tweed Shire.

Mon to Thurs

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE new parents and pregnant women are being urged to be aware of the symptoms of whooping cough after a recent spike in cases with 36 in the past four weeks, according to NSW Health.

Despite almost 95 per cent of infants in NSW now vaccinated against the disease, NSW Health told The Weekly that outbreaks still occur every three to four years as community immunity wanes, and the recent high numbers indicate an outbreak may be on the way.

Dr Vicky Sheppeard, NSW Health’s Director of Communicable Diseases, said in October 2018, almost 800 people in NSW contracted whooping cough (pertussis), the highest number since October 2016.

Acting Director of North Coast Public Health, Greg Bell, said a similar situation was emerging in Northern NSW where there have been 36 cases of whooping cough reported in the past four weeks.

While these levels of whooping cough across Northern NSW are similar to the averages of the previous five years, pertussis notifications are trending upwards.

The latest Australian Immunisation Register quarterly report shows that 90.4 per cent of five year olds and 88.9 per cent of 12 month olds in Northern NSW Local Health District were fully vaccinated.

These figures represent an increase on vaccination rates in 2010 under the then North Coast Area Health Service, when 84.9 per cent of children aged five years and 87 per cent of 12 month olds were fully vaccinated.

“Even in highly vaccinated populations it is not possible to eliminate whooping cough,” a NSW Health media statement said.

Mr Bell said whooping cough is challenging to control at the community level.

“As it is a highly infectious disease and immunity against whooping cough wanes over time, regardless of whether that immunity

is from having the disease or as a result of vaccination,” Mr Bell said.

“This means that the number of people susceptible to whooping cough in the community builds up over time and this can cause periodic spikes or larger outbreaks of the disease.

“The aim of whooping cough control is to protect infants, who are at highest risk of severe disease or death if they contract whooping cough. Whooping cough vaccination is effective in preventing severe infection.”

A GP can test for whooping cough and prescribe antibiotics.

People suspected of having whooping cough should stay home until they have completed a five-day course of antibiotics.

Since NSW Health introduced free whooping cough vaccination for pregnant women in April 2015 to protect infants in the first weeks of life, there have been no infant deaths from whooping cough in NSW, compared to four deaths in the previous six years.

All pregnant women should receive a whooping cough vaccination, preferably at 28 weeks gestation in each pregnancy.

The vaccine is funded under the National Immunisation Program and available through GPs, Aboriginal medical services and some antenatal clinics.

NSW Health said on-time vaccination of infants is important, with the first dose due at six weeks, followed by doses at four months and six months of age.

Boosters are due at 18 months, four years and in the first year of high school.

The NSW Government said they are spending a record $22.75 million on statewide immunisation programs this year.

Former Mayor denies backflip on student strike support

By Megan Albany FORMER TWEED Shire Mayor and local business owner, Gary Bagnall, said a News Corp report that he backflipped over the upcoming student strike for climate change on Friday December 30, is incorrect.

Mr Bagnall said he had been posting multiple Facebook posts and displaying posters in his Murwillumbah café about the national student strike to galvanise local youth into action.

“The strike is about kids around the world following the example set by Swedish school student Greta Thunberg in Sweden who has been striking every Friday and sitting on the steps of Parliament House because of her grave concerns about inaction on climate change,” he said.

Mr Bagnall said he was concerned that local children were unaware of what has now become a global student movement.

“The strike is really the kids’ thing and I really didn’t want to step into the kids’ arena, but I put information on Facebook to let people know that there were students at Byron, Lismore and the Gold Coast striking but that nothing was happening here,” he said.

Mr Bagnall said, the perceived backflip, was in fact just him removing the posts once awareness of the strike action had been raised.

“My contribution was to alert our local kids that there are children around the world striking for climate change and that it could be a good idea for this town to do something too,” Mr Bagnall said.

“When some local kids finally got onto it here, I took the Facebook posts down and went back to gardening.”

According to Mr Bagnall, a group of students from Mt St Patrick College in Murwillumbah are planning to participate in the strike action this Friday.

“They are going to do a lap around town and go to council where the Mayor Katie Milne is planning to meet them,” he said.

“The mayor has told the students that she will take their letters of concern and present them to the State MP.” Mr Bagnall, whose 17-year-old son also attends Mt St Patrick College, said his son was disappointed that he will be unable to attend the strike action due to scheduling of exams.

“As young people they want a voice, they can’t vote and so this is one way they can show us that they want us to protect their world,” he said.

“We’re playing with the world that they will be living in after we, and all the politicians who are making these decisions, have passed away.”

As a former mayor, Mr Bagnall understands the importance of public opinion in the lead up to an election campaign.

“With elections coming up, public statements such as this strike put pressure on both sides about who is going to come and play,” he said.

“I don’t think either Liberal or Labor are taking sufficient steps in this area.

“Throughout Europe and England there are daily marches about climate change and kids want to have their say. It’s very pressing.

Industry Central New flood free land Outlines indicative only

The land swap deal aims to protect businesses that were severely impacted by the 2017 floods from future flood events.

Industry Central land swap map.

Unprecedented Murwillumbah land swap deal moves forward Council is calling for expressions of interest (EOI) from eligible Murwillumbah businesses, directly impacted by the 2017 flood, that want to swap their flood prone land.

Successful businesses would relocate to Council-owned flood free land at Industry Central in the town.

In August Council settled on just over 14 hectares of land as part of an unprecedented move to mitigate against climate change and create resilience for local businesses and the broader community in future floods.

The $3million land purchase was funded by the NSW State Government as part of its Climate Change Adaptation program.

Council’s Project Manager Land Development Ray Musgrave said “Hundreds of businesses and jobs were heavily impacted by the 2017 flood and this is a step towards protecting those that were most severely affected from future flooding.

“Once the subdivision is complete, successful businesses will have up to 10 years to move to Industry Central. The vacated flood prone land will then be back zoned, most likely for community use.”

How to submit an EOI The EOI process is open to all eligible businesses and landowners until 25 January 2019. Information regarding eligibility

Workshop for landowners on rail trail corridor

A bridge in Stokers Siding – one of 18 historic bridges along the proposed rail trail route.

Council will hold a workshop with landowners adjacent to the rail corridor between Murwillumbah and Crabbes Creek to advise them of progress and hear any concerns they have about the proposed rail trail.

A motion for a landowner workshop at the 15 November Council meeting was passed 5:1, with one councillor absent.

The workshop with councillors will be held early in 2019.

An agenda for the workshop is being developed and all landowners along the corridor will be invited to attend.

Following the workshop, two reference groups will be established to help the project team resolve landowner issues in the design phase of the project and drive the economic and social benefits of the rail trail.

A Landowner Consultation Group will provide a platform for landowners to share their concerns, ideas and suggestions among themselves and with the project team.

“By inviting the landowners into the project we will be able to collaborate on solutions to both individual landowner issues and group issues as a collective,” Rail Trail Project Director Iain Lonsdale said.

“It will encourage innovation and lead to common rather than bespoke solutions, with the possibility of mitigating any landowner

Living and Loving the Tweed

distress in these early stages of design.

“These landowners are our priority stakeholders and we acknowledge that the rail trail will directly affect their lifestyles and, in many cases, their livelihoods.”

The second reference group will be a Rail Trail Sharing Group, comprising representatives from the community, business and industry, chambers of commerce, tourism operators, user groups and others to share ideas and work collectively to drive the economic and social benefits around the rail trail.

Already the Rail Trail Project Team has recorded 14 adjacent landowners seeking business opportunities from the rail trail, from cafes and accommodation to development of an interconnecting mountain bike track.

This Sharing Group would work with individuals and businesses to harness and leverage the benefits and opportunities provided by the rail trail now and into the future.

Nominations for membership to both groups will be advertised early in 2019, together with the terms of reference for each.

Councillor representatives will be nominated for each of the groups.

Tweed Regional Museum is one of a number of council facilities to get solar installations.

Solar-powered history The Marine Rescue Tower at Cudgen Creek, Kingscliff is getting some TLC to repair damage caused by recent storm events. The tower has been temporarily fenced to avoid public access to the perimeter. Repair work is expected to be finished by the middle of December.

Council’s latest solar energy project is underway at the Tweed Regional Museum in Murwillumbah. Work is taking place to install a 40kW system supported by funding from the State Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund.

The installation is part of an on-going Council strategy to increase the amount of renewable energy it generates. As well as taking action on climate change this will also deliver significant savings from reduced electricity charges.

Other projects will include a rooftop solar installation at Tweed Regional Aquatic Centre in Murwillumbah alongside solar schemes at water and wastewater facilities.

Unprepared tourists rescued at Fingal Head Tweed River in top ten

Humble Pay for In My Opinion Christmas with a New Solar System Vincent Selleck

and increasing in size so there wasn’t a safe opportunity to walk across or for jet ski extraction so that’s why we went for the helicopter winch,’ he said.

“The helicopter was the lowest risk option.

“The wind was a factor and winching that number of people in one area for an extended time, but they are trained pros and took that into account after they had done their risk assessment.”

Mr Samuels said the whole winching process only took about 15 minutes.

“It was quite quick,” he said. “The professionalism and standard that the Westpac Helicopter Rescue team work at is so high - they do an amazing job.”

Mr Samuels said SLS NSW wanted to thank SLS Qld for their assistance.

“We’ve got a great relationship and it’s building, they assist us with rescues when they deem it necessary and likewise we have the ability to assist them in Queensland,” he said.

“The border doesn’t stop us because we are all surf lifesavers at the end of the day.”

Mr Samuels said the fishermen had travelled down from the north side of Brisbane.

“That probably played a big part in them getting into that situation; they didn’t know the beach and water conditions in that particular area and how the tides and swell will affect it,” he said.

“They weren’t wearing appropriate clothing for rock fishing - they were wearing big, baggy clothing and no life jackets - they weren’t familiar with the area and didn’t appear to be experienced rock fisherman, but it was really good they had a mobile phone.

drowning black spots

The Westpac Helicopter Rescue winching fishermen to safety at Fingal Head.

“They were assessed by paramedics at the scene and didn’t have any injuries apart from a few minor cuts. They were really grateful for the help.”

Mr Samuel said that SLS Australia had a Beachsafe website and user-friendly app that could be downloaded on to mobile phones to tell users the closest patrolled beach and about the beaches in the surrounding area and any risks and hazards they might have at the time.

“That’s updated continuously throughout the day and it’s so handy to have it on your phone if you are planning a trip to the beach fishing, swimming, or surfing,” he said.

ROYAL LIFE Saving research has listed the Tweed River in Australia’s top ten river drowning black spots with a total of 10 drownings in the past 10 years.

The report titled “rivers, creeks, and streams claim more lives each year than any other waterway” highlights the Murray River as the number one most dangerous river with 41 deaths, followed by the Brisbane River and Yarra River both with 25 deaths.

The report highlighted a total of 1,087 people have died from drowning in Australian rivers, creeks and streams in the fifteen years between July 1, 2003, and June 30, 2018.

“A further estimated 522 people were hospitalised for a non-fatal drowning incident, many left with a permanent disability,” the report said.

“Research shows males are at most risk, accounting for 80 per cent of all drowning deaths.

“Alarmingly, of the adult males who drowned in rivers, 56 per cent had a contributory level of alcohol and/or drugs in their system.”

Royal Life Saving with support of the Federal Government want to further educate the public about inland waterway safety through the Respect the River drowning prevention program.

Royal Life Saving Society NSW CEO Michael Ilinsky said many people underestimate the dangers of inland waterways.

“Australian rivers are a great place to enjoy, whether boating, swimming, or hanging out along the riverbank,” he said.

“We want everyone to enjoy these beautiful natural environments but to do so safely, by showing rivers the respect they deserve.

“Don’t overestimate your ability, and underestimate the dangers in rivers. Often you cannot see ice cold water, rocks, snags like tree branches or strong currents.

“Be prepared when you go out on the water, wear a lifejacket, avoid alcohol and drugs around water, never swim alone, and learn how to save a life.”

It is often incorrectly assumed that tourists account for the majority of drowning deaths, however, Royal Life Saving research reveals that 74 per cent of people who drowned in the nation’s rivers were considered locals to the area, residing within 100kms of where they drowned.

By Jo Kennett SEVEN TOURISTS fishing in dangerous waters have been winched to safety after being trapped by the rising tide at Fingal Head on Sunday, November 25.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called in to rescue the men after an eighth member of the party was swept into the water trying to cross back from the Giant’s Causeway to the mainland when they were cut off by the rising tide.

Surf Life Saving NSW duty officer Chris Samuels was on routine patrol and one of the first on the scene after the men called 000 around 10.30am.

“They went across early in the morning fishing and were there for a few hours,” Mr Samuels told The Weekly.

“Then the tide has come in and they realised they couldn’t get back.

“One of them tried to get across but was knocked by a wave into the ocean but managed to swim in and climb back up the rocks on the mainland.”

The man then called 000 putting SLS NSW into action.

“My role on the scene as duty officer was coordinating the helicopter and our assets - we had a support jet ski and IRB,” he said.

“The support ski came from Cudgen Creek (Kingcliff) and the IRB was tasked from Cudgen Surf Club.

“High tide had peaked and started to run out but the swell and wind were increasing and I wasn’t happy that they would be able to safely walk across to the mainland.”

SLS NSW called SLS Qld to discuss rescue options.

“The seas off the headland were a solid four foot with waves coming in

50 MAIN STREET - FINGAL HEAD

By Jo Kennett THE CHICK of two endangered Pied Oystercatchers has been discovered at Hastings Point, after their egg disappeared from the nest and was believed to have been destroyed.

The chick was discovered by threatened species management Environmental Consultant David Charley, who does work for Tweed Shire Council and the Office of Environmental Heritage.

“It’s fantastic that the chick has survived,” Mr Charley told The Weekly.

“The parents are very attentive. I saw them chase off a Torresian crow that came too close.

“The chick ran for some nearby dense mangrove roots and hid while the crows were about.”

Mr Charley said that everyone had assumed the egg had been destroyed before the discovery of the chick.

“It was obviously laid earlier than we realised,” he said.

“The nest was fenced off, then it disappeared and we just thought it had been preyed upon.

“Council got in so quickly with all the fencing and signage to protect the nest - they have just been brilliant”.

Mr Charley said Pied Oystercatchers usually hide their young.

“It’s typical that in the first week to ten days they hide the chick from predators, usually in dense vegetation which could be shrubs, mangrove roots or dense spinifex and then they will bring food to them,” he said.

“So when the egg disappeared from the nest was when it was hatched.

“The great majority of chicks are lost when they have just hatched because they are just so vulnerable.”

Hastings Point resident Graeme Hodgkinson discovered the nest at the end of October and said he was thrilled the chick had survived.

“I discovered the nest and then watched the pair of Pied Oystercatchers for a couple of

weeks and all seemed to be going so well.” he said.

“The Tweed Shire Council had erected a rope fence at a good distance from the nest and the nest seemed to be at a safe distance from the daily beach activity going on at the mouth of the Cudgera Creek so to arrive one morning to find that the nest had been deserted and no sign of either birds gave me a sense of great loss.”

Mr Hodgkinson said he couldn’t even find the adult birds in the days following.

“About two weeks later I received a call from Council’s Threatened Species Project Officer Tanya Fountain to say that a pair of Pied Oystercatchers with a chick had been sighted in the Cudgera Creek region,” he said.

“I cycled to the creek and spotted the chick with both parents nearby and noticed that the tag on the leg of one of the parents was L4 which was on one of the birds I had been watching before the nest had been “abandoned”.

“I felt as though I had become a parent again.”

Mr Charley said that dogs were a “significance disturbance” as were foxes but it was critically important people don’t interfere with the chick or parents.

“If people and particularly kids see a fluffy chick by itself, they think it’s been abandoned when they haven’t,” he said.

“They need to quickly leave the site because being in the area will keep the parents away and leave the chick vulnerable to crows or ibis.

“The other thing is if you see the adults feeding, people should try not to disturb them because they are gathering food for the chick.

“It is still very vulnerable for a couple of weeks because it is so small and it should be flying in about three weeks - it’s 50-70 days from hatching before they can fly.”

Council and National Parks staff have also been monitoring a pair of criticallyendangered Beach Stone-curlews nesting in the park beside the estuary at Hastings Point.

Aboriginal flag flying high at Tweed Heads Police Station

By Jo Kennett THE ABORIGINAL flag was raised for the first time at the Tweed Heads Police Station during a ceremony attended by elders, politicians and police on Tuesday November 27.

F i n g a l e l d e r Au n t y M a r y Browning, who celebrates her 100th birthday on December 6, said seeing the flag raised was “wonderful”.

“It means the world to me to see this going on, it’s absolutely wonderful,” she said.

“That we are accepted and supported in the community now is lovely.”

NSW Police Tweed Byron Police District Superintendent Wayne Starling said that he found it a very emotional experience.

“We have a wonderful Aboriginal community here and a wonderful community as a whole,” he said.

“We work really closely and have had numerous programmes with our community and this is the flag that they deserve.

“I’m very proud to see it flying before I leave the station.”

Re b e c c a C o u c h h a s b e e n Aboriginal Community Liaison Officer (ACLO) at the Tweed Byron Police Command for over 15 years.

“Geoffrey Togo was the ACLO when I came on board,” she said.

“He worked tirelessly and we worked together for three years before it turned into one position and I continued.

“The relationship building starting in 1995 with Geoffrey and it’s continued and just blossomed.”

Ms Couch said Supt Starling had been instrumental in building relationships with the local Aboriginal community.

“He has been tremendous - he’s got the open-door policy and when I was away for a year the community were constantly liaising with the boss to address different issues,” she said.

“There has been a significant lack of relationships with Aboriginal people in the past so it was really empowering for the community to develop that relationship and develop that trust.”

Aunty Jackie McDonald said that the community joined her in thanking Supt Starling for reaching out to the community when he arrived.

“You’ve shown that you were willing to develop relationships with us and we appreciate that,” she said.

“You’ve been there for us in our hour of need when we needed support from you and you stood shoulder to shoulder with us on those issues that we needed your support for.”

Standing together: local indigenous elders, youths, community members and Tweed Police officers.

Supt Starling acknowledged the traditional owners of the land before welcoming guests and wishing Aunty Mary a happy birthday.

“Aunty Mary would have seen a lot of change over the last 100 years and while police have done a lot of good we have made mistakes in the past,” he said.

“It’s a testament today of the relationship between our Aboriginal community and the police that Aunty Mary is here and the good Aboriginal people we have in our community are here.

“We have come a long way, we have come a massive, massive distance.”

Supt Starling said the flag-raising ceremony wouldn’t have happened without Tweed MP Geoff Provest and his assistant Amanda Hall.

“I look back to 1971 when the first Aboriginal flag was made and to 1972 when it was displayed in Parliament House - most nonAboriginal people wouldn’t realise that the sun is the giver of life on the flag, the red is the earth and the spiritual connection that Aboriginal people have towards the earth and the black is the Aboriginal people.,” Supt Starling said.

“Over the years I’ve grown to have nothing but respect for the Aboriginal community.

“Last year we went on a programme and what was beautiful for me was the way the young people treated my daughter - if my children grow up half as good as those young people we took away with us I’ll be very proud.”

Mr Provest said that the flagraising was a very important, symbolic step.

“We are a very tight community and a very caring community and I just feel so proud to be a part of this.

“My experience of the Aboriginal culture and people here over the last 13 years has just broadened my horizons and enriched my life.” ©2018/321

Tips for travelling USA

The United States of America (USA) can be an overwhelming destination to travel. With 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions, covering some 9.8 million kilometres squared, it leaves a lot of room to explore.

First time visitor to the United States may find a few surprises in the way things are there, some are gloriously welcome, others less so.

Here’s what to be prepared for when visiting the USA. Make sure your passport is valid

Most travellers heading to the USA will be required to have at least 6 months’ validity on their passport. However, citizens from certain countries only need a passport valid for the length of their stay. Check the government website for your country of residence to see what rules apply to you.

Know your visa situation

It’s important for travellers to the US to understand the requirements for entering the country. The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) allows nationals from certain countries to enter the US for tourism or visitor purposes for up to 90 days without a visa. If you can enter the country under the VWP, then you

must apply for authorisation prior to travelling through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).

in between international flights and your luggage is checked through to your final destination.

Buy a TSA-approved lock

Understand tipping etiquette

Tipping is a notorious minefield for travellers to the US, the old ‘do I, don’t I, is it already included?’ saga. Although technically discretionary, it’s an unwritten rule that 15-20% is expected in restaurants. The reason? Minimum wage is low in the States, so tips are an important part of income for many workers. Tips are also common in other service and hospitality industries too, such as for bartenders ($1-2 per drink), housekeepers ($1-5 per night), concierge (dependent on the difficulty of your request), valets ($1-5 each time the valet brings your car), hotel porters ($1-2 per bag), doormen (a few dollars if s/he helps you get a cab) and taxi drivers (10-15%), so it’s worthwhile stocking up on dollar bills to have them handy for tips. When in a restaurant, do double check your bill before tipping though, as some restaurants automatically include a gratuity. If you’re paying with a credit card, you’ll need to write the tip amount you’re leaving on the credit card receipt and add it to the total.

The team at Helloworld are here to help every step of the way, so if you have any questions about exploring USA, contact them on 1300 737 544. If you pop into the store, do note that Helloworld Main St Murwillumbah is now open Saturdays 9am -12pm.

It’s a great idea to lock your luggage while travelling – what better way to have peace of mind that your belongings are safe once you wave them off at check in? But when travelling Stateside, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) enforces strict baggage guidelines for safety and security. All checked bags are screened, and if the TSA inspectors deem that a bag needs to be physically inspected, they are permitted to break a lock and open a bag. A note will be placed inside your luggage to let you know this is what has happened. To avoid losing a lock, it’s best to use a TSA-approved one. These can be opened with a master key, meaning the TSA official doesn’t need to break yours.

Know the rules about transit

If you have an international flight that transits through the US (particularly common with flights to Canada or South America), you will need to clear US Customs; technically, there’s no ‘transit’ in America, as all passengers are required to disembark and proceed through immigration and customs.

Remember, this means fulfilling the visa requirements for the States, even if you’re only staying for a couple of hours

Fixing tracks not as expensive as claimed says train supporters “Council’s resolution to support the rail trail includes an option to include the bike trail alongside the railway track and we are one hundred per cent behind that,” Mr Fenelon said.

“The railway corridor is a minimum 30 metres wide and here it’s nearly 200 metres wide.

“There is room for both bikes and trains.”

The group are holding a rally at Knox Park this Saturday, December 1, at 11am and are hoping that advocates of both trains and bikes on the railway line will attend.

“We want to highlight that we are not opposed to the proposed bike path, in fact we support it, but you can do both,” Mr Fenelon said.

“I’m a cyclist and I think it would be a lot more fun if you could go one way to Byron for example on the train and then cycle back.”

While there have historically been two camps in the rail trail debate, those advocating trains and those wanting a bike path, Mr Fenelon believes that both groups can work together to achieve the best possible outcome.

Trains On Our Tracks supporters want to see a train alongside the rail trail

“Until we know what a comprehensive public transport system looks like, it is prudent to maintain the only existing (very valuable) public transport asset we have in the region, the rail corridor, as it is.”

Despite the call for bikes and trains to co-exist, Tweed Valley Mountain Bike Riders President Hugh Flower believes there is not enough evidence to suggest both are doable from a safety and logistical point of view.

“As a cyclist, there’s a safety concern with this proposal in that the bike trail would have to be a fair way away from the actual train line, and there would not be enough corridor land available to put both trains and bikes on safely,” Mr Flower said.

PRESIDENT OF the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail Users Association Paul Heymans wrote to The Weekly to outline the benefits of a rail trail and says the Tweed Valley Rail Trail will be “one of the most scenic in the country”.

“A couple of years ago I had occasion to visit the Northern Rivers region and crossed over the old railway line several times,” he said.

“I thought to myself then, what a stunning rail trail that could be.”

Mr Heymans said that every rail trail has its naysayers, but he believes the rail trail will bring nothing but good to the region.

“I can speak from experience having fought a long and often difficult campaign to get the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail here in Queensland completed,” he said.

“Many of our landowners who were concerned about biosecurity have come to realise the risk is negligible.

“There has been no outbreak in crime recorded by the police, apart from occasional illegal motorbikes on the trail.”

Many Northern Rivers residents are hoping to see the return of trains on the tracks but Mr Heymans said an old corridor would not be repurposed due to the cost of bringing the corridor, bridges and tunnels up to modern safety standards.

“In any case, light railway will soon be superseded by new transport technologies that don’t even use rails as we move away from fossil fuels,” he said.

“By contrast, a rail trail brings in millions of tourism dollars and encourages a more active lifestyle that saves millions of dollars in health costs.

“What could be a better use for an disused old railway corridor than giving so much enjoyment and pleasure to so many people?

“It will be an amazing asset for your region. I can’t wait to come and give it a go when it’s completed.”

“We’re two very well-meaning groups with the same interest in doing something good for the Northern Rivers,” he said.

“We would like to welcome cyclists to join us for this shared vision and to help us rally for a shared facility for the whole community.”

Mr Fenelon believes that getting trains back on the tracks could prove a key issue for candidates wanting to secure votes in the upcoming election.

“We’re still fighting for the train and with the election coming up we want to push this issue harder,” he said.

Greens Candidate for Lismore, Sue Higginson indicated earlier this week that the Greens are in favour of maintaining the Northern Rivers railways.

“Our public transport system should be based on the principles of accessibility, safety, affordability, efficiency, sustainability and tourism opportunity and including trains, light rail, electric buses, car sharing, cycleways and walkways,” Ms Higginson said.

By Megan Albany MEMBERS OF Trains On Our Tracks (TOOT) recently gathered at the Murwillumbah Railway Station to get the message out that there is still an option for trains and bikes to co-exist on the currently unused Northern Rivers rail network on Monday, November 26.

While there have been claims that the railway lines are beyond repair, TOOT president Bill Fenelon said an independent inspection by a qualified engineer last week concluded otherwise.

“The train lines aren’t as bad as they say,” Mr Fenelon said.

“This week, Brian Fisher, a railway engineer who re-sleepered the whole railway line between Melbourne and Sydney, walked the tracks and it is his opinion that they could be reopened for a fraction of the costs that they’ve been quoted.”

Mr Fenelon said he believes Tweed Shire Council is supportive of the concept of having both trains and bikes on the track.

Trail will preserve train corridor

By Megan Albany PUBLIC LIAISON officer for the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, Marie Lawton said the push to return the trains to the tracks by the Trains On Our Tracks lobbyists, while admirable, “flies in the face of the historic lack of government commitment to reinstating the Northern Rivers rail line”.

“This has been going on for fourteen or fifteen years now and neither major government is interested in restoring the rail line,” Ms Lawton said.

“To have a train with a dual carriageway beside it for a rail trail is at this stage in history just something that’s not going to happen.

“Tweed Shire Council already has the wheels in motion for the rail trail and they have 14 million dollars funding available for it.”

Ms Lawton said that having a rail trail which aims to utilise the unused corridor for recreational bike riding, horse riding and walking, would preserve the rail corridor for the future and would leave the option open for the rail line to return.

“The whole aim is that it will be used as a trail and will not be sold off and if in future it needs to be used for trains it could be repurposed as a rail corridor,” Ms Lawton said.

“There will be something written into the legislation which means it can be repurposed only as a rail trail and in the future it could also be repurposed back to a transport corridor if necessary.”

Should the trains return to the region, Ms Lawton believes the route would change from the existing rail corridor and that it would be

unlikely to include less populated areas such as Murwillumbah.

“If the government was ever going to put a train line in the region it would probably go along the coast and encompass Ballina and Tweed,” she said.

While cost is always a factor, Ms Lawton believes other considerations have also influenced the government’s decision not to return trains to the area.

“Even if reinstating the rail was going to cost half the price that has previously been quoted, it would be unlikely to be built on the existing corridor as it would be easier to get rid of the infrastructure and replace it cleanly if the train was to come back,” Ms Lawton said.

“The government won’t support the train not just because it’s too expensive but because it doesn’t go to the right places and there’s not a high enough population to justify it.”

Ms Lawton said she personally regrets that the train isn’t coming back, but believes that in the absence of a train, using the rail corridor for recreational biking and walking is the best possible option.

“As much as I regret that the train isn’t coming back, the only option that’s possible now is the rail trail,” she said.

“The rail trail will preserve and use the corridor which means it is less likely to get sold off.

“If we leave it and do nothing, then in another 20 years you won’t be able to find that corridor.

“If the government said they were going to put the train back on, we’d say great - the point is to save the corridor, we don’t need a rail trail if we’ve got a train.”

Harvest Trail 2019 needs local producers

NORTHERN RIVERS Food (NRF) is seeking expressions of interest from farmers, local food producers, food service operators, distilleries and breweries who would like to be part of the 2019 Harvest Trail, a key component of NRF’s annual Harvest Festival.

NRF Executive Officer Allison Henry said the Harvest Festival was all about connecting people with real food on real farms and celebrating our amazing producers.

“In 2019 we’re excited to be expanding the Harvest Festival to a 10-day celebration – with an Opening Event at Husk Distillers at North Tumbulgum, our inaugural Harvest Autumn Fair at the North Byron Parklands, the return of our Harvest Trail and lots of other exciting tours, dinners and workshops,” she said.

NRF coordinated an inaugural Harvest Food Trail in May 2018, with 19 local food businesses participating.

The success of the first event means NRF are looking to expand the Harvest Trail in 2019 and are casting the net wide across the whole Northern Rivers region for potential participants.

Extending from Tweed to Grafton, the 2019 Harvest Trail is a self-drive tour, showcasing local Northern Rivers producers, over the weekend of Saturday, May 4, and Sunday, May 5, 2019.

N o r t h e r n R ive r s Fo o d p ro d u c e r s participating in the trail will open their doors from 10am-3pm either Saturday, Sunday or both days, and offer a range of activities and experiences for visitors over the weekend.

Supported by a special NRF map, Food Trail participants will have an opportunity to visit local producers and learn where their food is grown, the sustainable methods used to grow or produce the food and meet the producers who grow and bring the food to market.

“Participating businesses must be currently operating food-based activities on farm or at their business, or it may suit producers who are thinking of testing the waters to see if it this type of food tourism suits their business,” Ms Henry said.

“Potential farm and food-based activities may include family friendly workshops and educational experiences, free tastings, demonstrations and pick your own opportunities.”

Possum Plasma owner Mick Williams is passionate about his local business.

From passionate pursuit to local business POSSUM PLASMA Cutting owner Mick Williams has lived in the Tweed Shire with his wife Jane, since 1994 and has been based in Bray Park since 1999.

After running a successful auto repair shop in South Tweed known as Expo Auto Repairs and having been in and out of metal fabrication since the early 1970s, Mick decided to follow his dream and start Possum Plasma Cutting.

“I actually started Possum Plasma Cutting at home in 2004, after importing a CNC plasma table from the US and diving into CAD designing metal art before purchasing the present factory at the beginning of 2006,” Mr Williams said.

“I’ve had the pleasure of doing some amazing work for local people, businesses and farmers since then, examples of which are dotted around the shire and can also be found around the country and the world for that matter.

“I enjoy taking someone’s idea, drawing or photo and turning it into metal art, signage or machinery components.

“I have more than 4,000 fonts on file, so if you want a sign for the front of your house or business, I can basically create anything you want or match the fonts used in logos.”

Last year’s flood devastated Mick’s business, but he was determined to rebuild his business.

“It really took the wind out of my sails and I’d have to say my biggest achievement has been the ability to scramble out of the pit of despair and rebuild the business to something resembling what it was before the deluge,” he said.

Mr Williams said that although he was getting a bit older he’s not ready for retirement.

“I’m a firm believer in the saying, if you don’t use it, you lose it,” he said.

“That being the case, I fully intend on using it for a good while yet.”

To find out more about this fantastic local business, visit Mick’s workshop from Monday to Thursday at Mayfield Street, Murwillumbah or call him to discuss your ideas on (02) 6672 3019.

Landcare offers free bush skills course

Feeling Dizzy?

You could have a balance or ves�bular disorder

BALANCE is easily taken for granted.

However when the fragile ves�bular organs of the inner ear and brain are damaged by illness or injury, anyone can lose their ability to balance.

Don Edwards in his rainforest gully, Uki

Mr Corke said the great thing about the project is the training will be tailored to the site-specific needs of each participant.

“Participants will learn how to assess and manage the unique habitat and weed problems on their own land and will be able to share experiences and learn from each other,” he said.

“They will also learn about ecological restoration funding opportunities and formal conservation options.

“With the potential for ongoing technical support from Tweed Landcare Inc and Council, this is a great opportunity for landholders to become effective land custodians into the future.”

Interested landholders are invited to complete an Expression of Interest form on Tweed Landcare’s Facebook page or via: eoi. tweedlandcare.org.au As spaces are limited, applicants are asked to describe the type of bush on their land, are there any threatened plants or animals they know about, their current knowledge level of restoring bushland and availability for a short training course.

For further information contact Kim Stephan at projects@tweedlandcare.org.au on (02) 6670 2199 (Thursdays) or 0418 692 442 (Mondays and Wednesdays).

T

o achieve good physical balance, we rely on our brain, eyes, innerear, and musculoskeletal system to work in harmony.

Balance disorders are typically under diagnosed and undertreated.

More than 1/3 of adults aged 40 years and older experience vestibular dysfunction at some point in their lives.

Common symptoms of vestibular disorders include vertigo and dizziness. Vertigo is a spinning or whirling sensation, or an illusion of the self or world moving. Dizziness is a lightheaded, floating or rocking sensation. Poor balance, nausea, visual disturbances, headache, hearing loss, tinnitus, and pain or fullness in the ears can accompany vestibular disorders.

HOW CAN YOUR OSTEOPATH HELP? There are many causes of dizziness or vertigo. But most types of vestibular disorders can be diagnosed by means of a thorough medical history and clinical examination. The most common type of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), and once diagnosed is easily treated with repositioning manoeuvres, with a success rate of 90%. (Silva, 2014).

Another type of vertigo encountered is Cervicogenic Vertigo, which is due to a dysfunction in the neck. Again once diagnosed, it can be easily treated with Osteopathic intervention.

Your Osteopath can diagnose most of the common types of vestibular disorders and can either treat the condition or refer on for further diagnosis and treatment.

TWEED LANDOWNERS with bushland on their properties can now access free bush skills training, funded by the NSW Environmental Trust and delivered in partnership by Tweed Landcare Inc and Tweed Shire Council.

Places are limited for the Bush Skills training which is designed to educate landowners on how to nurture, restore and care for bush areas.

Tweed Landcare Project Officer Kim Stephan said 15 interested landholders will be given the opportunity to work with expert trainers in small groups to restore bush or rainforest on their own property.

“Professional trainers will explain why it is especially important to look after these areas in our valley,” Mrs Stephan said.

“The remnant rainforest patches are relics of an ancient Gondwanan past and are now literally a living museum of plants and animals that once occurred across most of Australia.

“The remaining fragments still have the potential to return to functioning rainforest with just a little help.”

Local qualified trainers, with years of experience, will work with each landholder to develop a site plan and provide handson training in bush regeneration skills including plant identification, weed control techniques, planting strategies and methods of encouraging natural regeneration.

Building on the successful Land for Wildlife program and integrating with Council’s Biodiversity and River Health Grants Programs, the Bush Skills project will also create an online resource library of factsheets, videos, tools and links.

Council’s Project Officer Biodiversity Michael Corke said the project is an exciting initiative.

“The Bush Skills project will provide landholders with a unique opportunity to learn how to protect and manage some of the most ecologically important habitats in Australia,” he said.

New era for Greenback Fishing Contest Last year 566 anglers took part in the event with NSW taking out the State of Origin competition.

Mr Duffield said he wanted to make some changes with how the event was run.

“We are trying to bring the best of the Lions Greenback together with the best of the old Pottsville Fishing Classic,” he said.

“The big change is that in the past competitors could only fish in NSW but this year there will be no border - they can fish in Queensland.

“The first State of Origin game is on the Wednesday before the Greenback State of Origin as well.”

Mr Judd said it was going to be an “awesome” partnership and Greenback in 2019.

“It’s just a new era and a new direction,” he said.

“Part of the attraction is that we have a lot of volunteers from the school and the fire brigade is next door, so it made sense to have it here.

“It’s about finding the best things done in both comps in the past and bringing it together in one great contest.”

Mr Duffield said there would be around $35,000 worth of prizes across 55 categories.

“We already have plenty of fantastic sponsors,” he said.

“BCF is back on board sponsoring the juniors which is great.

“By supporting the juniors, they are supporting the future of fishing and the contest”.

Borderless future a possibility

MEMBER FOR Lismore Thomas George has welcomed the solid outcomes achieved under a re-commitment to the Queensland / NSW Statement of Principles and Priorities for Cross-Border Collaboration.

Mr George said both Governments are continuing to work together on improving service delivery as outlined in the cross-border 2017-18 Annual Report and 2018-19 Worklist.

“The complexity of cross-border issues requires our two governments and their agencies to work side-by-side, share information and undertake joint planning, and I’m pleased to see many great results for residents in Tenterfield and Murwillumbah,” Mr George said.

“The report also points to improvements in health with Northern NSW and Gold Coast health departments working together through a service and coordination committee to help identify issues and streamline processes to reduce delays, improve patient discharge and handover processes.

“There’s been traction in the sharing of student information to enhance the planning and delivery of education for our kids, as well as progress to amend the mismatch of various education legislation and policy.”

Mr George said there was a continual striving to achieve a borderless region.

“And I’m looking forward to continued results from this partnership,” he said.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro said the aim was to work towards to a united community, where

By Jo Kennett POTTSVILLE BEACH Sports Club has partnered with the Lions Clubs of Cabarita and Pottsville Beach to run the Greenback Fishing Contest on June 8-9 next year as part of a “new era” for the popular event.

Event organiser Stephen Duffield said that it was an exciting time for the fishing contest.

“This is a new era for the Greenback,” he told The Weekly.

“For years it’s been in Cabarita but strongly supported by Pottsville - the Pottsville Fishing Club which is based at the club provide the weigh-in crew.

“The sports club offered to be major sponsors which is why they got the naming rights so now we have formed a partnership.”

General Manager Michael Judd said the Greenback has “a fantastic reputation”.

“It’s a great competition, it’s been around for 32 years,” Mr Judd said.

“We’ve got the perfect venue for it; we have a fully licensed lawn bar which we can use for the weigh-in and we will have the courtesy bus running shuttles as well.

“It’s a charity event, it’s all about giving back to the community and that’s something that is very close to our heart and it’s really what we stand for.”

The registration can be done online but will also be done at the club, along with the weighin on the final day of the contest.

Hospital exhibition period extended after typo to DPE on both the EIS and the SEPP,” a spokesperson for Health Infrastructure.

“The themes of submissions to date have reflected the findings of previous community consultation, summarised in the Consultation Report of the EIS, and will be addressed following completion of the submission period in a formal Response to Submissions report that is provided to DPE.” The Health Infrastructure spokesperson said community consultation for the project to date has reached more than 1,200 people at 42 pop-ups and eight drop-in sessions, received more than 600 written submissions, 509 responses to an online survey and more than 10,000 visits to the project website.

“This is in addition to the 60 community members actively taking part in the Community Reference Panel, and over 1,000 total clinical and hospital staff attendances at 130 Project User Group sessions,” the spokesperson said.

The rates of pay are above award conditions and after twelve (12) months you will be eligible to join the Company Employee Share Scheme. Probation period can be up to 6 months.

Previous experience is not necessary.

However; honesty, transparency, decency, initiative, respect and dependability are invaluable.

The following criteria is essential: • Available to work shift work, weekends and public holidays • Able to tolerate working in humid and dark conditions for part of your shift.

• Have a construction White Card (or equivalent), or willing to acquire one within a week of starting.

• Current drivers licence • Australian resident or have the right to work full time in Australia If interested, please provide a cover letter and your resume to No agencies please.

“It seems to us the Government is actually using these techniques to discourage citizen participation,” Mrs Paddon said.

“Without our help only determined individuals will make their way through the barriers to be able to submit.

“We will be holding more workshops, and anyone needed help can contact the Relocate Team for more information on further workshops.”

Mrs Paddon said the Relocate Team have held public workshops and were doing the Government’s job in creating printed paper forms which they would not supply and showing the community how to make their submission.

HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE has released the results of its September community consultation, which has revealed the top three areas of priority include environmental sustainability, car parking and potential traffic congestion.

The consultation consisted of an online survey and nine community pop-ups.

A total of 148 community members attended the pop-ups and 509 survey responses were received.

Health Infrastructure said materials were produced and distributed at popups to provide information to community members, including how to participate in the online survey and on the development of the hospital design.

The consultation extended to population centres across the Tweed region including Tweed Heads, Cudgen, Kingscliff, Pottsville, Murwillumbah and Byron Bay.

Environmental sustainability was listed as the number one concern with 93 per cent of respondents strongly agreeing or agreeing that the facility should embrace environmentally sustainable strategies such as renewable energy.

Car parking was listed as the second concern with 94 per cent of respondents agreed there should be sufficient and specialised car parking in the right places.

Traffic congestion was listed as a concern by 94 per cent of respondents who agreed the facility should not increase traffic congestion to surrounding roads and should take advantage of future road connections.

“Superior access to promote easy, safe staff parking, stress-free parking for patient arrivals and encourage visitors to easily come to give support for patients,” a respondent was quoted by Health Infrastructure.

A MISTAKE in the website link, advertising one of the crucial documents for the Tweed Valley Hospital Stage 1 development at Cudgen, has resulted in The Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) extending the exhibition period until December 13, 2018.

The extension means Tweed residents have more time to have their say on both the proposed State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) and the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Stage 1 State Significant Development (SSD) application for the Tweed Valley Hospital.

Health Infrastructure told The Weekly that updated advertisements were run by the DPE in newspapers on Wednesday, November 21, with the correct SEPP link and the revised exhibition period for both the SEPP and the SSD. “The public exhibition of the Stage 1 EIS for the Tweed Valley Hospital and proposed SEPP is a very important step in the process of planning the new hospital; and the extension of the submission period will provide the community with more time to review and provide submissions

Councillors attempt to block Hospital debated in parliament hospital opposition motion SEVERAL TWEED Shire Councillors have called an extraordinary meeting in an attempt to block a motion which has outlined Council’s opposition and request for more information in relation to the site selected for the proposed Tweed Valley Hospital.

The rescission motion will be voted on Friday, November 30, at 11.30am at the Murwillumbah Council Chambers.

The rescission motion could overturn a decision previously made by the majority of Councillors during their Thursday, November 15, meeting.

Councillors Warren Polglase, Pryce Allsop and James Owen lodged the notice of rescission earlier this week.

The original motion opposing the selected hospital site was carried by Mayor Katie Milne, Cr Chris Cherry, Cr Ron Cooper and Cr Reece Byrnes.

If the resolution is rescinded, Cr Polglase said he intends to put forward an alternative motion to take “no further action on this issue at this time”.

Members of the public are welcome to attend, however Council said in a media statement that the public and media may be required to vacate the chamber if the matter goes into a confidential session.

The original motion outlined six areas of concern and included Council’s opposition to the site selected on Cudgen State Significant Farmland for the relocation of The Tweed Hospital.

The motion also called for urgent legal advice on whether the hospital’s preliminary works constitute exempt and complying

development, and options for urgent compliance action if appropriate.

The carried item also outlined a request of the State Government to re-exhibit the stage 1 application.

It should however be noted that the Department of Planning and Environment has confirmed it will extend the public submission for two weeks until December 13.

The motion also called on the State Government to release all documents on the shortlisted hospital sites, and the option of redeveloping on the existing site or into the civic precinct adjacent.

The Councillors also went further and called for an urgent Parliamentary Inquiry into the proposed Tweed Valley Hospital, or for this matter to be considered by the Parliamentary Public Works Committee.

Section six of the motion also highlighted that the inquiry should look at the impact of such significant changes to Tweed Shire’s existing Local, Regional and State planning strategies.

“The impacts on Tweed’s only Contiguous State Significant Farmland precinct; the impacts on the Kingscliff and Tweed Heads communities and economies from the relocation of this major economic driver and social infrastructure; the haste and limited consultation provided for such a major project; the lack of transparency particularly in regards to details, footprint diagrams and estimated costs of the alternative shortlisted sites and the option of redeveloping the Tweed Heads site including into the adjacent civic precinct; and the lack of adequate assessment and information in the Stage 1 application” the motion reads.

IN A special parliamentary debate this month, the NSW Labor party has vowed to “protect Kingscliff from overdevelopment” and has praised Councillor Ron Cooper for his campaigning to retain a three-storey building height limit.

The speeches were in response to a petition signed by more than 16,000 North Coast residents opposing increasing the threestorey height limit in Kingscliff.

The debate comes as plans reveal the new hospital could be nine storeys on the site.

NSW Labor said they will ensure there is a three-storey limit in medium density and mixed-use zoning in Kingscliff.

During the speeches, Labor Shadow Minister for Regional Development David Harris and Labor Shadow Minister for Mental Health Tania Mihailuk paid tribute to Cr Ron Cooper for putting together the petition.

NSW Opposition Leader Michael Daley also re-committed Labor to building the Tweed Hospital at Kings Forest to protect Cudgen farmland and prevent overdevelopment in Kingscliff.

“All across NSW there’s a consistent and recurring theme to this Government,” Mr Daley said.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s a road, a rail line or a hospital.

“Projects are rammed through without any regard of the views of local communities.

This has to stop.

“Average citizens and families have a right to say what their local communities should look like.

“Labor has listened to communities in the Tweed and if I become Premier in March next year, the people of the Tweed will get their hospital at Kings Forest.”

Labor candidate for Tweed Craig Elliot said Labor will build the hospital at King’s Forest.

“The last thing we want to see is Kingscliff filled with Gold Coast style high rise and congestion,” he said.

“The March 2019 election will be a referendum on the location of the Tweed Hospital.”

“My commitment is to build the Tweed Hospital at Kings Forest – and save Cudgen farmland from the Nationals Party bulldozers.”

Meanwhile, Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said the Tweed Shire will benefit from the first package of sub-contract works awarded on Friday, November 23.

“Unlike Council and unlike Labor, the NSW Government wants local businesses to benefit from the biggest investment in our health infrastructure in over 100 years,” Mr Provest said “Local companies have already expressed their interest in getting involved in different stages of the construction of our new hospital – a real boost to our regional economy.”

Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the NSW Government remains committed to building the hospital at Kingscliff without any further delays.

Already geotechnical drilling and perimeter fencing is underway and the scope of the remaining preliminary works includes: Site establishment including temporary electrical works; Remove vacant structures and remediate asbestos contaminated land; and Construct sediment basins and stormwater controls and weed noxious species.

This stage of the project incorporates upgrades to the Tweed Coast Road/Cudgen Road intersection and the safety and design of the Turnock Street roundabout.

1. Wear protective clothing. long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and hats.

2. Wear sunglasses, Sunglasses shield your eyes from UV rays that can cause eye problems.

3. Limit your sun time, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. this is when the sun’s rays are at their strongest. Plan your outdoor activities early in the morning or later in the afternoon. You can also find or create shade during those hours.

4. Use sunscreen. UV rays can damage your skin in as little as 15 minutes. To protect your skin, put sunscreen on every part of your body that will be exposed to the sun at least 15 minutes before going outside.

5. When choosing sunscreen, pick one with at least SPF 15 and that offers broadspectrum protection from both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays.

One coat of sunscreen doesn’t last all day.

You need to reapply sunscreen every two hours.

6. Say no to tanning. There’s no such thing as a safe tan, whether you’re inside or outside. Tanning beds, tanning booths, and sunlamps expose you to intense UV radiation, which increases your risk of skin cancer and skin damage.

Skin cancer is easier to treat when caught early, so get to know your skin and watch for changes. Look for new skin markings, like moles, bumps, scaly spots, or places where your skin has changed colour. Watch moles for changes in size, texture, colour, or shape. Take note if a mole has uneven edges, differences in colour, or one half that is different than the other. You can also watch for moles, sores, or growths that continue to bleed, won’t heal, or look different from any other growth you may have. Talk to your doctor if you notice any of these changes.

Allergy and hayfever season is here What is an allergy?

Allergy is an overactive response of the immune system to something it considers foreign and a threat.

Allergens can be indoor or outdoor and include things such as: • Pollen • Dustmites Fungal spores • Animal dander (from cats etc) • Occupational hazards (eg rubber • latex, wood dust, foods, chemical) In spring the foreign particulars are usually pollen from flowering buds and blooming trees Signs and Symptoms of Hayfever • Runny nose • Persistent sneezing • Itchy eyes and nose • Itchy roof of the mouth Non-Medical Treatment Options The best non-medicated treatment for hay fever management is reducing the exposure to the known seasonal allergen.

• Avoid going outside on dry, windy days when pollen count is high • Check the internet for pollen forecasts and current pollen levels Pollen count is usually high in the • early evening and early morning so closing doors and windows at night and refraining from outdoor activities around that time.

Try to avoid mowing the lawn or • gardening and delegate if possible.

• Avoid hanging laundry outside to dry as pollen can stick to the towels and sheets.

• If you have been outdoors and exposed to a pollen shower, change your clothes to reduce pollen contact on skin and hair Medical Treatment options Avoiding the outdoors is not ideal so there is a number of over the counter medications

which can help alleviate hay fever symptoms and help you enjoy the spring season.

These can include: • Antihistamines – which help to alleviate itchy and watery eyes or nose and sneezing o Eg Telfast (fexofenadine) and Claratyne (loratadine) • Steroid Nasal Sprays - which help alleviate nasal symptoms such as sneezing and blocked or runny noses.

Eg Nasonex, Flixonase and o APOhealth Budesonisde hayfever sprays Ramsay Pharmacy Pottsville Beach and Pottsville Waters currently have a number of over the counter medications on special.

The friendly staff are happy to help you enjoy the season allergy free.

26 Local News Thursday, November 29, 2018

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Bourke Love Lawyers at Kingscliff BOURKE LOVE Lawyers are celebrating the opening of a new office at Kingscliff, marking the law firm’s fourth office.

Director Brendan Bourke said Bourke Love now have offices in Ballina, Lismore and Varsity Lakes and chose Kingscliff when they saw how much the area was growing.

Mr Bourke has a reputation as one of NSW’s leading plaintiff work injury litigation lawyers and has worked extensively with NSW Police officers and PostTraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) injuries in emergency services first responders and other people injured at work.

“We just do personal injury work,” Mr Bourke said.

“All we do is personal injury workers compensations, motor accidents, slips and falls and that type of work.”

Mr Bourke said he had been visiting Kingscliff for 10 years and loved the area.

“When I was living in Brisbane and courting my now-wife we used to drive down through here to Cabarita and Pottsville,” he said.

“It was just the fun back road and it was nice to see Kingscliff and Pottsville and those sort of places going ahead through the years.

“My sister-in-law lives here and visiting her over the years we watched the town grow and noticed there was a real vibe in the area with Casuarina, Salt and Kingscliff all going ahead so much.”

Mr Bourke said he and his partner saw a growing need for the experience the firm has.

“I know it’s controversial but it looks like the hospital is coming to somewhere near Kingscliff and I know that will bring a lot of difficulties but it will bring a lot of people - health professionals and people that serve the hospital community and so it’s a good time for us to come up here,” he said.

“We love what we do and I wanted to come up here and invest some of my energy here.

Director Brendan Bourke

“I’m coming up from our Ballina office a couple of days a week and my partner Tony Love - one of NSW’s most prominent plaintiff motor accidents litigation lawyers will be coming up from our Lismore office two or three days a week.

“I’ve been a lawyer for 30 years and Tony for 22. Lynetta James has been a lawyer for 20 years and she will be coming up a couple of days a week.

“Jess Flick is a young lawyer who has been admitted about four years and will come up one or two days a fortnight and Pania Watt has been with us for 14 years and a lawyer for nine of those and will come down from Varsity Lakes as well.”

Mr Bourke said it was a great place for the team to connect.

“It’s a fabulous place to be, to meet the other lawyers and talk about cases,” he said.

“We are excited at the prospect of working here.

“I love this place. We had our opening last week and everyone came in and had a look around and went straight out the back door into Phoebe’s for a couple of beers.

“We have so many other great places to meet up and discuss cases and we are really looking forward to working with the community.”

Sports Clubs welcome funds for defibrillator LOCAL SPORTS clubs have welcomed the announcement of funding to assist with the purchase of Automated External Defibrillators (AED) as part of the Local Sports Defibrillator Program.

The NSW government funding will enable the Far North Coast Hockey Club, the Murwillumbah Rifle Club and the Tweed River Hockey Club to have access to the life saving technology to assist people experiencing cardiac emergencies.

Member for Lismore, Thomas George, visited the Murwillumbah Men’s Shed last Tuesday November 27 to announce the funding.

“Sport is a vital part of the Murwillumbah community’s social fabric and we need to make sport as safe as possible,” Mr George said.

“The first eight minutes after a cardiac arrest is vital to giving people the best chances of survival so I recommend all the clubs in our area apply to this grant program.”

The grants are part of a roll-out of funds to 322 sports clubs across the state according to Minister for Sport, Stuart Ayres.

“The four-year Local Sport Defibrillator Program assists sports organisations across

the state to purchase AEDs for their sport and recreation facilities,” Mr Ayres said.

“Clubs receive 50 per cent towards the funding and maintenance of a defibrillator, with clubs in NSW’s Far West region receiving a 75 per cent co-contribution from the Program.”

Mr George also announced grants for other local clubs including funds for the Murwillumbah Sporting Car Club, the Uki Sporting Horse Association and the Men’s Shed.

Secretary for the Murwillumbah Sporting Car Club Inc Robert Learmont said he hoped their funds, for a new defensive driving course, could also help save lives.

“We are planning on using the funds towards a car trailer for safety gear for a defensive driving course we will be running next year for young P-plate drivers and high school kids who are going for their licence or learning to drive,” he said.

For sports club that have yet to purchase a defibrillator, the government has announced that the program will remain open for applications from now until May 2019.

Last minute encounter in the jungles of India Toy Drive going strong THE WEEKLY is proud to present the latest travel column by Murwillumbah travel writer and globetrotter Nick Condon.

This time Nick has travelled to the remote jungles of North East India where he experienced an encounter of a lifetime.

By Nick Condon

TING, TING, ting. We heard the now familiar sound of the spotter hitting the roll bar of the jeep with a rock to signal to the driver that he’d spotted something.

The driver slowed to a stop. We held our breathe with anticipation. Was it a tiger? A leopard? A rhino?

The spotter signalled with his arm to the driver to move forward slowly. The jeep inched forward.

Kaziranga National Park in North East India is not only a tiger stronghold, it is one of the last great refuges of the Indian One-horned Rhino.

While its territory once stretched across the Indo-Gangetic Plain, encroachment from farming and excessive hunting have taken its toll and the rhinos now live across 11 disparate territories.

Kaziranga is home to 70 per cent of these rhinos.

Even with the strong numbers, seeing one close up is never a guarantee.

Towards the end of the game drive, the weather had changed and it was hot and quite humid.

After a four-hour game drive we were on our way toward the exit gate, disappointed that we hadn’t seen a rhino up close.

An hour earlier the guide had assured us that that the blob on the horizon we

The beautiful and rare Indian Rhinos. Photos by Chris Wilson

could see through binoculars was in fact a rhino, but we were left unsatisfied.

Now, as we waited eagerly to hear what the spotter had seen, spirits were again high.

The spotter shushed us, putting his index finger to his mouth before pointing out the right-hand side of the car.

There it was, in amongst the scrub easily missed by the untrained eye, an amazing sight.

A female rhino with her young calf was lying in the mud.

Not in the distance this time, not a blob on the horizon but right next to the track which was less than 20 metres away from our jeep.

We were in awe. For what seemed like minutes, we didn’t move.

We didn’t take a photo. We just watched.

This was one of those special experiences in nature.

Satisfied with our sighting, we made our way back to the lodge.

Who knows, maybe next time I visit we’ll see a tiger.

I’m escorting a trip to North East India in February in conjunction with Tripaway Travel, where we will visit Kaziranga and do up to three game drives.

If you’d like to join us, we have a few places left, please contact Helloworld Main Street, Murwillumbah on (02) 6672 1031 to find out more.

FEDERAL MEMBER for Richmond Justine Elliot has this week thanked local residents for their overwhelming generosity and kindness in supporting her Christmas Toy Drive, which remains open to donations until Friday, December 14.

“Donations of toys are flowing in from all across our area,” Mrs Elliot said.

“This will help put a smile on the face of a local child this Christmas.

“One of the most wonderful things about our local area is the strength of our community spirit.”

Mrs Elliot said last year local residents donated more than 200 toys and her office is on track to help even more children this year.

“There are a lot of families that do it tough over Christmas,” she said.

“Some locals are finding it hard just to cope with increases in the cost of everyday living.

“Unfortunately, that means that there is often not much left in the budget for Christmas presents.

“My Christmas Toy Drive is one way that our community can come together to help those in need.

“Together let’s help bring the magic of Christmas to kids in need across our area.”

The toys will be wrapped by volunteers and distributed to local families by the Salvation Army.

If you wish to make a donation please bring new and unwrapped toys to Justine Elliot’s office at 107 Minjungbal Drive, Tweed Heads South.

The last day to deliver gifts is Friday, December 14.

If you, or someone you know, needs assistance this Christmas, please contact the Salvation Army at Tweed Heads on (07) 5524 5081.

Big-hearted Fay Gleave continues to inspire and train at the age of 84

By Megan Albany DESPITE BEING 84 years old, veteran first aid volunteer and St John Ambulance trainer Fay Gleave, is determined to keep contributing to the Tweed Shire community and a part of the world she feels passionately about.

Known as ‘mother’ by fellow St John Ambulance members, Ms Gleave continues to train and inspire others to follow in her footsteps.

“At 84 I am slowing down but I still have much to give,” Ms Gleave said.

“I now team teach adult first aid courses with another St John Volunteer member Sally Quinn, as the equipment to take on site is too much for me to carry,” .

With 61 years of teaching the First Aid Certificate under her belt, Ms Gleave has both skills and experience to pass on, having personally saved many lives in her 61 years as a trainer and St John Ambulance member.

Named St John Trainer of the Year in 2005, she estimates she has taught over 5,000 children First Aid as part of the Tweed Shire’s Primary Schools Program.

Ms Gleave began her career in First Aid during the 1950s, when the world was worried about the threat of nuclear war.

She gained a First Aid and Home Nursing certificate and joined the Voluntary Aid Detachment in Murwillumbah. She completed her training at Murwillumbah District Hospital and in the hills around Doon Doon where it was thought townspeople would have to move should the nuclear threat become a reality.

She stayed with the detachment until it closed in 1960.

In 1973 she became a volunteer St John Instructor/Examiner and has conducted hundreds of courses over the past 45 years.

In 1984, with the help of another member, she established the St John Ambulance Brigade in Kingscliff.

“Early days in the Kingscliff Division were exciting,” she said.

“We had no money for uniforms or equipment but I was able to obtain second hand uniforms and Kingscliff Lions Club gave us two first aid kits an oxy viva and a spine board.

“After that we were operational and could do first aid duty in the community,” she said.

She became the Divisional Superintendent and in her seventies her team won the First Aid Regional and State Competitions and came third in the National First Aid Competition.

At seventy, she was the oldest competitor to ever compete.

During her time with the service she attended the 1997 bushfires that raged around Coonabarabran as well as the 2009 flood disaster recovery, helping out at evacuation centres at Kingscliff, Lismore and Ballina.

“This was hard work as we were on duty 24 hours a day and I only had 12 members to cover a large area,” she said.

There have also been fun times including duties at Blues Fest, Splendour in the Grass, and New Year’s Eve at Byron Bay. For Ms Gleave, one of the highlights of her time with the service was following the Olympic Torch through New England and the North Coast and performing

His Excellency the Honourable David Hurley at the Great Hall at Sydney University presenting Fay Gleave with the Award for the 2018 Volunteer Trainer of the Year.

first aid duty at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.

“When we started covering the big concerts, I had a leaky tent and ten members,” Ms Gleave said.

“Then in 2010, which was our last coverage, I had three first aid posts and a team of 30 which included doctors, nurses and paramedics,” she said.

She has won multiple awards including the State Premier’s Award for Community Service, the Tweed Citizen of the Year, the

Century Medal and was admitted to the Order of St John by His Royal Highness Richard Duke of Gloucester.

A guest speaker for over 45 years she taught thousands of people and is a passionate advocate for first aid education.

“I believe everyone should know first aid especially CPR,” she said.

“I have personally saved many lives and my students have also put their first aid into practise.”

In March 2015, after holding various positions with the service including Divisional and Regional Superintendent, NSW State Officer and member of the State Council of St John, Ms Gleave officially retired from the uniformed branch of St John but continues to donate her time as a volunteer trainer.

“I wear my uniform with pride and am proud to say I am a member of St John Ambulance,” she said.

Clear Minds: Anger is a trance state

NATURAL THERAPIST & COUNSELLOR

By Sara Sullivan - Clear Minds Natural Therapy

MODERN I GENTLE I SAFE I EFFECTIVE

People often don’t think when the rage comes upon them – and that’s the point! Our minds are like a ‘patterning & matching’ organ, whenever our beliefs or expectations or inner rules are crossed or overrun, strong emotions like anger work faster than speed of thought.

Carrying an inner rage, likely started from childhood, likely well known to the person themselves if this is a pattern of behaviour, (maybe unacknowledged) or even the occasional anger outburst often causes unwanted consequences and spoils things.

Anger also impacts one’s own health.

It is common for depressed, anxious and angry people to think in terms of absolute and will use these words often like black & white thinking – utterly, always, absolutely!

Noting an ‘all or nothing’ approach to their reality.

Hopefully it’s liberating to realise anger is just one part of them, it’s not who they are. Seeking help to resolve inner anger, they can still ‘stick up for themselves’ or be ‘ready to fight’ but have more time to respond appropriately.

“How has that anger pushed you around?”

Clean out your ancestral baggage DEAN HARLOW is a practitioner and facilitator of Frequency of Genome Healing using number sequences from Russian Scientist Professor Grigori Grabovoi and healing creator, Carol Roberts.

He uses both these techniques combined with a powerful eight-foot copper framed pyramid enhanced with singing clear quartz crystals to heighten the energy field.

“This method of healing cleans out the ancestral baggage of information in your DNA/Genome handed down from past generations and is needed to bring balance and harmony into feminine /masculine energies in the Genome, first born cells, organs, chakras, and systems,” Says Dean.

“False information over the centuries has denied us the truth of how powerful we really are, thus keeping us stuck in the cycles of karma and unhealed trauma in our mental

and emotional bodies which then manifest outwardly as disease.”

Cleaning out our DNA and downloading your Divine Blueprint restores your body to its optimal functioning, shattering past beliefs systems, bringing in a new energy of awareness, and knowing that anything is possible.

The Sagittarius Star Sign

Sagittarius are honest, clever, fun loving and generous.

They can occasionally come across as rude, but that’s only because they are so honest and say exactly what they think.

They are interested in everything and everyone and therefore are great company.

With their optimism and humour they are often the life of the party.

Their values are spiritual rather than material.

Many are attracted to the spiritual side of life and may be interested in the church, philosophy, astrology and other new age subjects.

Sagittarius are broad minded about new ideas and love trying new things.

They have excellent intuition and can usually tell straight away if an idea is a good one or a rotten one.

Strengths of a Sagittarius are being very driven and passionate about what they do, however the weakness here is that they can also get temperamental and upset when things don’t go their way.

Change is as good as a holiday ASCENSION RETREATS offer a range of retreats specifically designed to expand the mind, relax the body and nurture the soul.

Each retreat is personally created by our practitioners with various areas of focus and topics, so you can continue on your life and spiritual journey.

We understand that while it may feel like we are too busy to take a break, there are major emotional and physical benefits to doing so.

A change of location, climate or lifestyle can immediately break negative cycles and give us a fresh perspective, while a breather from normal life allows us to recharge, reinvigorate and re-evaluate our lives.

Often the healthiest thing we can do is try something different, giving us time to refresh and reboot our mood and outlook.

THE EIGHTEENTH annual Kingscliff Triathlon is set to return to the iconic seaside town on Sunday, December 2.

The event is expected to attract a field of more than 1,200 athletes this year competing in various distances and will also be joined by 150 junior athletes ranging from seven to twelve years old.

Race Director Mike Crawley said he is especially excited to welcome the South Coast Inter-Schools trials.

“With a protected swim and a flat cycle and ride, the triathlon is a great opportunity for kids in the Tweed to have a go at triathlon,” he said.

“We are really excited to help develop new triathletes and to have the South Coast Schools coming along.”

The South Coast Inter-School trials provide opportunities for kids on the coast to compete in the highest state level of triathlon.

The Kingy Tri also welcomes the Triathlon NSW North Coast Inter-Club Series.

After successful hit outs in Ballina and Yamba, clubs from across the North Coast will descend on Kingscliff for Round 3.

Local Kingscliff village and accommodation houses are already seeing bookings increase, and event organisers are predicting that the recent developments along the foreshore and the Cudgen Creek boardwalk will provide better opportunities for spectators and families to watch and enjoy the morning’s races.

Mr Crawley said the Kingy Tri is a celebration of preChristmas racing in a wonderful location.

“It’s great to welcome so many athletes here to Kingscliff,” he said.

“For many it is their first time on the Tweed Coast and it is a great showcase weekend to bring people back for a holiday at another time.”

The event charity is once again the Cudgen Headland Surf Lifesaving Club with seven rescue craft and a team of 25 to protect the 1,200 swimmers over six distances.

The event organisers wanted to thank the local residents and businesses for working with the event despite inconveniences caused by road closures.

Border Rangers release first album UKI THREE-piece outfit the Border Rangers have just released their first album called Captured and frontman Muzza Monroe told The Weekly is looking forward to touring it in the new year.

“I grabbed a couple of guys that I thought could help create a new sonic landscape which was my goal as an artist - I wanted to create a sound that had never been heard before,” he said.

“I am on baritone guitar and vocals, Orion Strung is on violin and Will Hatchett is on drums which is different from the traditional three-piece and has never been done before.

“The album has been released through MGM in Australia and next year we will be touring to promote the new album.”

Muzza said he wanted peer recognition from the industry and “to put an album out that people liked and to play that music to the public”.

“With the lyrics it’s a poetic view of the world and emotions that doesn’t often get exposed,” he said.

“I’m an observer and most the lyrics come from that observational perspective.

“Seeing injustices and things that appear in front of me is a part of it too.”

Border Rangers sound has been described as psychobilly punk with a dash of blues and country and the title track is called Captured.

“Captured could be viewed as a love song or it could be about being captured in a situation that you can’t get out of,” he said.

“It’s up to the listener to take their own perspective on the theme.”

Muzza has been in two bands previously, the Chucky Monroes and Muzza Monroe and the Lushous Strings and has worked with noted producer Tony Cohen who produced for Nick Cave.

“I’ve had albums released in Australia and America and toured extensively overseas,” he said.

“We will be touring Australia and also looking to tour overseas.

Check out Border Rangers ‘Captured’ on YouTube.

“We will be playing a few shows in the Northern Rivers in the New Year and I can’t wait to get in front of the public because I like to see the public enjoying the music and entertain them.”

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

Most people of my generation are very excited by the arrival of Bohemian Rhapsody, the biographical film about the British rock band Queen that follows singer Freddie Mercury’s life up to Queen’s iconic Live Aid performance at Wembley in 1985.

With a box office of $472 million worldwide on a production budget of about $50 million, it is the highest grossing musical biographical film ever.

Tweed Foodie Fest set to return year was the red tape requirements along with having only a limited budget.

“I think the biggest challenge we have faced in getting Tweed Foodie Fest back is having to implement a vehicle impact plan to prevent a car entering the street at speed,” she said.

“The cost to implement the plan is high and we are a volunteer organisation with a limited budget whose vision is to showcase the Tweed as a food destination of excellence and to deliver positive economic outcomes for our cafes and restaurants.”

Ms Turner said the best way for locals and visitors to support the event is to attend and sample some flavours.

“It would be great if The Weekly readers could support the event by attending and eating lots of food and buying their drinks at the food fest bar,” she said.

“We have 226 people booked so far for tables (at the time of print).”

Weather forecasts are looking good for Saturday, December 1, for the around 2,000 people expected.

“We are very pleased to have Cabbarita Youth Service assisting us this year to help set up and pack up,” she said.

To find out more about Tweed Foodie Fest, including to support as a volunteer, please phone: 0401 871 096.

The film has received mixed reviews from critics, who while acknowledging the need for dramatic license noted several historical inaccuracies in the narrative; the film’s portrayals of Mercury’s life and sexuality and of the other band members were criticized as “sanitized”. However, Malek’s performance and the music sequences have received unanimous praise – in particular the pivotal scene of the 1985 Live Aid performance, for which an exact replica of the stage at Wembley Stadium was built.

EXCITEMENT IS building for the return of the iconic Tweed Foodie Fest on Saturday, December 1, as organiser Kerry Turner has reflected on some of the toughest challenges to bring the event back.

Tweed Foodie Fest will close off Wharf Street, Murwillumbah, from 5pm to 10pm for an evening of long table dinning, drinks, amazing local foods and great local company.

Businesses and families have already thrown their support behind the return of the Foodie Fest, with early signs for up to 2,000 people attending.

Speaking with The Weekly, Ms Turner said among the biggest challenges this

However, the production of the film had a very difficult life.

The British-American film is produced by the former Queen’s manager Jim Beach, with Queen’s members Brian May and Roger Taylor credited as creative and musical consultants on the film. Bryan Singer has sole director credit, but in fact in the middle of the production Singer was fired for absence and clashing with the cast and crew, and the shooting was completed by Dexter Fletcher. The film was supposed to star Sacha Baron Cohen in the lead role, but he also had creative differences with the producers and left, to be substituted by American-Egyptian actor Rami Malek. Malek in the film seems to almost “channel” Freddie Mercury, although before working on the film he had only a casual knowledge of Queen and to become Mercury had to have many intense sessions with a movement coach and learn to talk with prosthetic teeth, a recreation of Freddie’s famous jutting overbite.

The Lions Club has requested local dog owners secure their dogs between 8pm and 9.30pm for the fireworks.

Remembering the life and times of Percy Roberts Grant funding announced

By Megan Albany LIKE MANY many men of his era, Percy was named after two uncles who were killed while fighting in the first World War, John Cleaton Marshall (his mother’s brother) and Percy Charles Roberts (his father’s brother).

Born in the old Sunnyside Hospital in Murwillumbah, Percy was one of five children and attended various schools in the Tweed before beginning his career as a cub reporter with the Tweed Daily News in 1941.

In June of that year, he won a scholarship to the Sydney Teachers’ College.

After moving to Sydney Percy joined the University Regiment and was posted to the Australian Light Anti-aircraft Battery in the Northern Territory.

The week before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, his regiment sailed out of Sydney Harbour on the same night the Japanese submarines sailed in.

After two and a half years of war service he returned to Sydney Teachers’ College to complete his teacher training, graduating in 1947 with a Diploma of Physical Education.

While lifesaving at Coolangatta, he met Marjorie Valda Moss who he later married at St Stephen’s Presbyterian Church on September 3, 1949.

The newly-wed couple moved to Grafton where Percy taught Physical Education, Geography, Art and Bookkeeping as well as coaching Rugby League, Swimming and Athletics.

Percy also attended woodwork classes at Grafton Technical College and went on to make furniture for the family home.

It was also in Grafton that the couple were to discover their lifelong passion for golf and to become active members of the Pelican Players Dramatic Group.

Percy Roberts has left a lasting legacy on the Tweed Shire

At the beginning of 1966, after many years as both a teacher and an active community member, Percy was transferred to Tweed River High School where he taught until his retirement in 1982.

In 2008 Marjorie moved into an Aged Care facility at Kingscliff and Percy visited her every day until she passed away in November 2011.

Percy spent many years involved with the Coolangatta Tweed Heads Golf Club as Director, Vice-Captain, VicePresident and President. He helped to establish the Gold Coast-Tweed Classic in 1978 and enjoyed meeting golfing greats such as Sam Snead, Bruce Devlin and Greg Norman. He also played golf with entertainers Ronnie Corbett, Bob Hope, Glen Campbell, Val Doonican and Sammy Davis Jnr.

In 1999, when he returned a four-overpar 76 in a club competition, he became a member of an elite band of golfers who had shot less than their age. He was aged 77 at the time.

A keen fisherman, he joined the Tweed Heads Amateur Fishing Club in the late 1930s and in his later years he enjoyed annual trips to Fraser Island with a group of fellow anglers.

He also played Cricket and Rugby League, winning Blues for both while at Sydney Teachers College as well as playing League for Richmond and Upper Clarence.

While Marj and Percy had no children of their own, they were a much-loved aunt and uncle to sixteen nieces and nephews.

Percy passed away on November 2, 2018.

THE NORTHERN Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF), a major provider for funding relief for the region, held its annual grants ceremony on Tuesday, November 27, distributing around $114,000 in grant funds across the Northern Rivers with Tweed Shire organisations amongst the beneficiaries.

Tweed Palliative Support and Wedgetail Retreat Community Hospice was awarded $3,882 and Shaping Outcomes Tweed received $4,413.

This is NRCF’s 14th year of support in the region and has now distributed more than $1.5 million since 2004.

NRCF is totally independent and funds community organisations across the seven shires of the Northern Rivers.

“We call this region paradise, but for many caught in underprivileged situations it is the opposite,” NRCF’s Chair John Callanan said.

“This year we have spread our funding across 20 community groups.”

Other successful applicants include a youth program for first offenders with NSW Police participation; refuge assistance in extreme weather; emergency relief for young children caught up in parental mental health issues; and new flooring for a transition house for Aboriginal women fleeing domestic violence.

In the medical sphere, Tweed Palliative Support and Wedgetail Retreat Community Hospice – the only provider of free medical equipment to palliative care patients in the Tweed region, will receive funding to purchase a king single hospital bed with a special mattress for clients who need pressure care.

NRCF Chair John Callanan said that awareness of the reach of NRCF had increased with the help of local media.

“We are constantly looking to extend knowledge of our capacity to help, and would be delighted if local individuals and businesses would partner with us further - to aid the burgeoning inequality and disadvantage in the Northern Rivers region,” he said.

“We are at one with grass root initiatives and can easily lead donors to worthwhile projects.

“If you would like details on how to become involved and give to our independent philanthropic organisation.”

For more information visit: https://nrcf.org.au/giving/ The grant ceremony was held at Murwillumbah Community Centre which last year received a significant NRCF grant to help re-establish its community food pantry wiped out in the Cyclone Debbie floods of 2017.

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.

Cudgen Headland SLSC - Keith Kennedy The World Life Saving Titles continue through this week with Inter-Club Pool Rescue and Ocean events concluding on Sunday with IRB competition this Friday and Saturday.

Cudgen are not represented in these competitions. There are 45 nations represented at these Titles. Italy will host 2020, 2022 is yet to be announced and 2024 they will be staged on the Gold Coast.

In the Masters which concluded last week Jan Gielis added to her pool medal with Gold in the 70 yr, surf race, beach sprint and added Silver in the board and ski.

Anthea Warne represented Australia in the six girls Youth Team, winning the 100m Manikin Tow and the Four Person 50m obstacle race, first in 4 x 50 m Medley Relay and second in the 100m Manikin Carry, 100m Medley Relay and Mixed Pool Lifesaver Relay. In the Surf she was third in the Ski and won the Rescue Tube Rescue event. It was heartache for the Youth team going down to New Zealand by 14 points in the overall point score in controversial circumstances after a disputed disqualification went against the Australians on the opening night in the pool.

The Branch Carnival at Byron Bay last Sunday was poorly represented by Clubs with only Cudgen and Byron Bay providing the bulk of competitors with the addition of several from Lennox Head and Ballina.

Talk to Ruby Today 02 6672 4443

Our girls were prominent in the Surf and Beach events, winning twelve of the eighteen first placings gained in surf and on the beach sprint and board, ski, swim and board rescue.

Cudgen had fourteen first placings. Stirling and Claudia Crawford were prominent in Beach Events, Hayley Smith in Beach and Water in the Under 17s girls as was Lily O’Sullivan and Kalini Ives in the Under 15s girls with Sienna Lee and Ginger Allen. Sofie Boyd and Chloe Jones also had first placings and all featured in team events. Luke Chaffer, Joseph Warne, Eli Hughes and Liam Worling all had individual and team success for the men.

Next Saturday there is an Oceans 38 Carnival at Kirra, whilst the Juniors have a teams carnival at Byron Bay with activities at home for those not attending.

The Old Boys Association will hold their Christmas meeting at the Riverview Hotel on Saturday December 8. Former Surf Club members, current over the age of 30, Kindred Club Members or anyone wishing to support the Club are welcome to attend and join. Also those who have let their membership lapse are welcome to re-join. Currently the Association has 150 members Australia wide.

Trivia answer last week: Adam Mills, Cadet Flags 1981 at Wanda. He is currently our Club President.

This week: The Club has hosted how many NSW Country Titles? 2, 3, or 4 ?

Holding with Shot Judy Tuckey THE MIXED Pairs final at Cudgen between last year’s champions Coog Prichard and Liz Fleming duelling with Jim Gibson and evergreen Darilyn guest (sub for Joan Lawson) resulted in a great game of mixed fortunes. Prichard and Fleming were in control for the first seven ends with a narrow lead until Gibson and Guest fired up to take over. A strong fight back from Coog and Liz saw the scores levelled at 14-14 at the completion of the fifteen end. Two more ends and the duo were on top on 18-14. Jim and Darilyn, catching a second breath, then came back forcefully to keep their opposition scoreless over the remaining five ends to close the game and claim victory with a comfy surplus.

Brunswick Heads’ recent annual prestigious Triples Carnival attracted players from Paradise Point in the North down to Lennox Head and Lismore in

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals the South to fill the greens to capacity with 3 games of 2 Bowl Triples being the order of the day. Local champion June Foran, accompanied by Lorraine Marsden and Faye Turner, notched up top scoring points for the tournament to collect the overall winner’s purse. Pottsville’s Merle Jackson’s team was placed fourth on the leader board. Teams skipped

by Robyn Wickbold (Kingscliff), Lyn Proudlock (Brunswick Heads) and Coral Nathan (Pottsville) were the individual round winners. Friendship prize went to local team skipped by Julie Sanderson (Brunswick Heads).

Condong men’s B Grade Pairs final was a tough encounter between Bob McBurney & Steve Keen and Gary Whittaker and Ken Archer. McBurney and Keen got off to a good start but strong opposition bowls from Whittaker and Archer saw them take over the lead. The contest continued with close scoring from both teams until the eighteen end when the McBurney/Keen combination generated a full on attack to take full control and surge ahead to claim victory with a comfortable margin.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Sandy steals the show on her 70th Birthday

At the helm

THE CORSAIRS were out in force again this weekend – this time back on their home ground at Fingal but venturing further afield than the usual Fingal reach. For a change the aim wasn’t first across the line, it was first to the Chinderah Tavern to get our orders in for an excellent lunch.

Eight boats sailed from Fingal and with the big tide were tied up at the pontoon only 45 minutes later. It was the maiden voyage for Corsair “One Too Many” with new owners Michael and Liz Grace taking advantage of a fun sail with other members to support them as they learn the ropes. Michael and Liz are new to sailing but were instantly keen enough to look for their own boat and sons Charlie and Oliver regularly attend Juniors sailing squad sessions.

Some of the Juniors were also out sailing today – Kooper Wheeler getting some more practice on the Corsairs and Taj Krasna on an X3.

Keep a look out for the bright pink Flying Ant “Flippant”, a donated boat newly restored by dad and daughter team Gunnar and Layla

Scholz. These are a great class of boat to be crewed by two 10 to 13 year olds. With a spinnaker and trapeze they’re a big step up and just what the club needs for those who like a bit of excitement.

There are many exceptional people amongst the Tweed community and we’re glad it turns out that lots of them love to sail!

This week’s shout out goes to Sandy Sorenson who has been a member of TVSC since 2013 being involved in many different ways from our first women’s learn to sail course, crewing on Corsairs, helping out with timekeeping and now in training on the safety boat.

This is all when she wasn’t busy with grandkids or caring for her partner Jim in his last years. Jim was another great character in the sailing world and helped Sandy restore her beautiful Heron sailing dinghy.

It was an auspicious day, November 25, she chose to relaunch “The Good Ship Lollipop” and surprise us all by sailing solo to meet us at the Chindy. She kept it quiet, but sailing club records do not lie, so a

big Happy Birthday Sandy - you’ve now reached “level 70” in the game of life. Long may you continue to be part of our sailing community and may “Lollipop” take you on many more adventures.

If you’re the kind of person who likes to pitch in, we’d love to see

you. Come and have a go at sailing or safety boat driving, timekeeping, restoring and repairing boats and trailers or putting together fabulous post sailing spreads of food... there is always something creative to do – or just chill out on the bank and watch the boats. TVSC sails next

7th Time is a Charm for

Stephanie Gilmore

Tapped in to the waves

With Terry Tappa’ Teece

Our Kingscliff Supergirl!

STEPHANIE GILMORE has just completed what we all knew she could do – winning that elusive 7th Women’s World Title. She has equalled Layne Beachley’s record, and at only 30 years of age may have a few more world titles coming her way. Even though the former Kingcliff High Student is born and bred on the Tweed Coast, some media outlets were claiming her as a Queenslander!

Don’t know if they have moved the border, but Kingy is definitely in NSW! From her first heat Gilmore looked confident in the solid and powerful waves, scoring over 16 points out of a possible 20 in her first heat. Gilmore only had to win three heats and the title was hers, where her rival Lakey Petersen looked nervous and had to win the event and hope Gilmore failed early to even have a surf off for the 2018 title. After Petersen lost her round one heat, she had to face Wildcard Hawaiian, Alana Blanchard in round two for a do-or-die shootout.

Blanchard, who is the partner of local lad Jack Freestone, rose to the occasion, ripping in, smashing the powerful Honolua Bay waves, and wrapping up World Title Number seven for Gilmore.

Gilmore still had to surf her third round heat as the realisation title number seven was hers sunk in, Gilmore took a couple of swigs of champagne and said: “Oh my gosh, this next heat is going to be interesting!” She had no

trouble again and won with ease in the double overhead waves, including one seriously good tube.

She added: “Surfing means everything to me. I’ll never forget being a young girl and surfing all day.

“Nothing else mattered. I love surfing. Surfing’s the best. I have so much joy when I do it.”

The rest of the contest shapes as a victory lap for Gilmore, but I’m pretty sure she is keen to win the event after she matched Layne Beachley’s record of seven world titles.

When asked on sharing the record for most Women’s World Titles with Beachley she said: “It’s an honour to sit alongside you, Layne. Thanks for setting the standard.”

“You’ve been a huge inspiration for my entire career and for so many female surfers all round the world. To equal you is amazing. What an honour.”

Layne Beachley was in a remote area of Tasmania, but her joy reached across the seas.

Beachley tweeted the sentiments worldwide in a series of posts. This one was my favourite – “Exuding joy, naturally talented, and fiercely focussed, the smiling assassin has done it again. 7 World Title wins establishes her as one of the greatest athletes of all time! No one deserves it more than Steph and I am extremely proud of her.”

Gilmore won her first world championship in 2007 — a year after Beachley’s last — and defended her crown from 2008-10 before she reclaimed it in 2012.

At 30, Gilmore is likely to surpass Beachley as the most successful women’s surfer but quickly played down suggestions that Kelly Slater’s record haul of 11 world titles could be a target.

“I hate that question,” she said when asked if the American legend’s mark was in jeopardy.

“I’m just going to lap up seven. But this is so, so cool.”

Well there you go Kingscliff, your girl is one of the greatest ever. Well done, and maybe, just maybe, she can rack up a few more World Titles. Happy Gilmore is estatic!
