Recently the New South Wales league of the Rip Curl GromSearch took place in Wooli and Carly Shanahan clinched the under-16 title. The series runs across 10 countries, with over 5,000 competitors worldwide. This is title a major milestone for Carly. It was her first year in the under-16 division. So far her results this year have seen her reach the ranking of 16th in the Australia-Oceania region of the women's junior tour. I congratulate Carly on this fantastic achievement and wish her all the best at the national finals.

After more than 40 years running the Silver Scissors & Comb barber shop in Lismore, owner Peter Tozer is calling it a day. He opened his Lismore business with just one chair. As the business grew, he employed more cutters and now has a total of seven staff. He's also been a loyal and committed member to the Lismore rugby club. His service to the club included playing, coaching, being a groundsman and being president. Other members would say that, rain, hail or shine, Peter was there giving hours to support a sport he loved so much. I got my hair cut by Peter for a number of years when my kids were little. When we got home, the kids insisted I call them 'Peter' as they pretended to re-cut my hair. It's gone down in family legend. I thank Peter for his long service in the community and wish him all the best in his retirement.
