Power Independence with Solar Batteries

Over half of all Australian homes will have batteries for energy storage in the next ten years...

The new trend in solar power is to include battery storage and generate enough power for day and night use. With energy prices rising by 17% or more on the 1st of July, the intelligent option is to vote with your feet and begin to take control of your own power production with investment in the latest solar energy revolution.

Australia is way behind the world in the development of cheap, renewable energy with the coal and gas lobby blocking any new clean energy development. This is making Australian power costs among the highest in the world, leaving household to fend for themselves using solar power to offset rising electricity costs.

24 Hour Solar Power

With Feed in Tariffs now ridiculously low, there is no point left in sharing solar power with the grid.

At 6 cents per kWh it is not equitable to export power when you have to buy your energy back later at 30 cents. Solar Power Battery Storage is the best way to beat the unfair electricity network and create energy independence today. 888 Solar Tek, a local solar company based in the Northern Rivers, is providing revolutionary new technology that slashes the cost of battery storage, providing 24 hour solar power to homes.

With custom designs based on your energy use, they maximise the benefits of your investment and deliver a cost effective solution for your power needs. They offer a free energy assessment and are delivering hybrid and off-grid power systems that are much cheaper than buying from the grid.

888

The End of Support for Solar NSW Solar Bonus Ends This Year!

Government subsidies for solar export to the grid will end this year in NSW. If you are you one of the smart people in the Northern Rivers who are benefiting from the 60 cent per kWh export you will need to make plans for the coming changes.

Payments under this plan expired at the end of 2016, leaving solar owners with 4 - 6 cents for each kWh exported after then. 20,000 homes in the Northern Rivers will have to install new meters to be able to use the power they now export entirely to the grid.

888 Solar Tek, your local hybrid and off-grid solar experts, have developed a smart migration plan, which will eliminate 80% or more of your ongoing power charges. They can install additional solar panels and battery storage now, to cover all of your daily energy use, slashing power charges.

The Truth About the

Every cent of the Solar Bonus generated by your existing system is collected right up until the end of the scheme, when both system are combined.

Your new hybrid solar system allows greater independence and typically pays for itself in 3-5 years. 888 Solar Tek tailor the new solar system around your existing equipment and provide 12 months free monitoring and support.

If you have very low electricity usage you may choose to go off the grid altogether to eliminate fixed supply charges that make up a large part of your bill. 888 Solar Tek have new technologies that can operate both on and off the grid. This makes staged transition to energy self-sufficiency cost effective and avoids costly equipment change-over.

REAL Cost of Solar Batteries...

The Gel-acid batteries were much cheaper to buy, lasted longer and could be configured in many different sizes to better match each home's energy use. They do not explode if over charged like Lithium Ion, are compatible with all inverter and charger systems and have a welldeveloped re-cycling program. Gel-acid batteries have been tried and tested over decades and, with fifth generation desulphation technology, are the lowest cost and best value battery available.

Many new battery technologies have leapt into the solar arena and early adaptors have had mixed reports about the real value of their performance.

Not all that glitters is gold and some of the best PR campaigns have hidden the real cost of new solar batteries.

The real test for new battery technologies is measured by their ability to deliver a cost per stored kWh below grid price. Every battery has a life span in the number of cycles of charge and discharge they can achieve before they lose capacity, with 60% being the standard for end of life. The cost of batteries divided by the cycle life gives the best measure of their value.

888 Solar Tek is the leading supplier of Gel acid batteries and hybrid and off-grid solar systems in the Northern Rivers and one of the few solar companies that offer custom battery sizing based on your power use. They retro-fit batteries to existing systems and provide cost benefit analysis based on your current and projected power costs. With local, personalised service and an ethos to always look after their customers' needs first, 888 Solar Tek are the number one choice for solar battery systems in the Northern Rivers.

Other than the special feeling you get from being the first boy with the new toy, all of the Lithium Ion batteries on offer fail to satisfy, none of them delivering stored energy for less than the cost of buying it direct from the grid. Some like the BYD Mini, featured in recent TV ads on the North Coast, cost over twice as much as buying power from the grid!

Why pay for electricity when it is cheaper to make your own?

888 Solar Tek is the top-selling retailer for solar battery systems in the Northern Rivers. We supply customised new or retrofit systems to match your power use - not a one size fits all package. You get personalised service with free 12 month system monitoring.

The electricity grid is a huge monopoly that serves the large generators and retailers. Selling your solar power for 6¢ per kWh or less is unfair! Beat the network by generating and storing all of your own power now. Call us for free, honest advice before you buy anywhere else.

NSW Solar bonus scheme ends this year!

The Sanden EcoÂŽ Hot Water Heat Pump System use up to 78% less energy than conventional electric water heaters. Quicker and easier to install than solar, you get the savings right away. Sanden is the most efficient and eco-friendly hot water heat pump system on the market, offering up to 50% faster heat recovery than its competitors.

Call us for all your Solar Hot Water needs on 02 6688 4480.

Only Motoma Gel-acid batteries with an Australian invented de-sulphation device which increases their lifespan by years, deliver a storage cost well below the grid price.

You may not of noticed yet, but your power bill just went up by over 17% on the 1st of July. We all know we are getting ripped off by the electricity networks and that it will only get worse. As the rage grows, many people are seriously looking at getting batteries for their solar systems to be more independent from the bloodsucking grid now.

Shire Council.

“There is no affordable housing, no affordable caravan parks,” he said.

“It would seem that the only option for these people is to sleep in a park or beach and even then, the police and/or council rangers “move them on”.”

“Don’t blame the people who are but a few steps away from primary homelessness (and they are not drug addicts or alcoholics). Blame the Tweed Shire Council and State Government for the mess they are creating.”

The Weekly again spoke with several Chinderah residents including explaining Mr Lee’s perspective and experience working with local homeless people.

However, one resident, who did not want to be named, said Mr Lee makes “several legitimate points in respect of housing affordability and the lack of political will”.

“Unfortunately, in his fervour he is unable to separate the homelessness issue from that of people camping illegally, using drugs and having no problem affording cartons of beer,” he said.

“These people have made a lifestyle choice and are bludging off the people who work and pay taxes.

“Mr Lee probably needs to spend more time around Turnock Park and witness the anti- social behaviour which occurs, especially at night.

“He might also care to witness the behaviour further south on Chinderah Bay Drive where the old highway ‘dead end’ has now become a camp where people use the Tweed River as a toilet.

“In respect of Mr Lee’s claims about the two women who were allegedly fined, I am sure Tweed Council staff might paint a clearer picture.

“Warnings are given and people are allowed ample opportunity to move on.

“Broken down’ vehicle - gee that’s a new one - bet the Council Rangers have never heard that excuse before. “‘Pregnant woman’- as in the case of ‘Stevie’- there is much more to that story.

“There are two issues involved and in the interests of honesty the facts should be presented that way.

“How did the proposed ‘Marina’ become involved - sounds like an attempt at political manipulation.”

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe more needs to be done to assist those at the edge of homelessness? Or perhaps you have a differing view. The Weekly would love to hear from you.

YOU HAVE A Friend president and founder John Lee has hit back at criticism of Chinderah homeless who he says are not alcohol and drug abusers.

Mr Lee’s comments follow on from an article in The Weekly (March 16) on Page 3 in which several Chinderah residents raised concerns over illegal camping and substance abuse.

Mr Lee said he applauded the patience and support for what the Tweed Shire Council chooses to call “illegal campers”.

“I have a meeting on Friday, March 24, with Mayor Katie Milne, Member for Tweed Geoff Provest MP as well as other Councillors and shire personnel to discuss why pregnant women and many other pensioners are being fined as they have nowhere to go,” Mr Lee said.

“I am trying to get answer for the so called “illegal campers” and the residents of Chinderah.

“Most days I am visiting the people forced onto the river in Chinderah by the Tweed Shire Council and State Government.

“I can say I now know these people very well. What they are not is drug addicts and alcoholics.

“This problem is not with these people or the many Chinderah residents who have concerns.

“This is a NSW State Government and Local Council problem. What we need is a rally to ask the Tweed Shire and State Government, where these people can go.”

Mr Lee also called on the community to stand together.

“Just as the people of the Chinderah/Fingal area once stood together against destruction of the area by a major proposal for a massive marina in Chinderah in 2007,” he said.

“I know Mayor Milne was very active in that campaign which eventually had the marina stopped.

“The NSW Government and Tweed Shire Council has slowly closed off all avenues that many pensioners and low income persons need to survive and live.”

Mr Lee said he wanted to stress the people living along Chinderah foreshore are at risk of losing their vans or vehicles would become “primary” homeless people, sleeping in parks etc.

“The Tweed Shire Council recently fined ($110) an eightmonth pregnant lady for sleeping in her car,” he said.

“They also fined a lady ($110) whose van had broken down.

“They are not tourists as I was told by Tweed Shire Council.”

In 2015, the Council closed Bruce Chick Park at Stotts Creek after complaints about the park deteriorating due to excessive waste and car parking around the park.

Then people went to Cudgen Creek – where they were initially tolerated by the Tweed Shire Council, however after a year the fines were being issued again.

“I know that Tweed Shire Council rangers are now filming people living along the Tweed River in Chinderah,” Mr Lee said.

“When is this going to be a “no go area”? And then where do these people go – these are not “grey nomads” or wealthy “$80,000 RV Van tourists”, or “Wicked Camper” tourists as the Tweed Shire would have us believe.

“No, these are people just one step away from primary homelessness.”

Mr Lee is now appealing to the community to recognise the difficulties faced by homeless and “not illegal campers”.

“This issue is that so many have nowhere to go and are trying not to be a burden on the government,” he said.

“Caravan parks are more than $220 a week per site and people can only stay there a few weeks at a time.

“That is a State Government issue and the State Government will not address the total lack of affordable housing here in the Tweed.”

Mr Lee said he believes the onus for assisting local homeless resides with the NSW State Government and also the Tweed

South Murwillumbah car park saved

The go ahead for the Men’s Shed is not the only win the ratepayers had at last Thursday’s Council meeting.

The Councillors in their wisdom have decided to leave the car parks in River Street (one next to the bridge) alone and not turn them into parks.

Thank you to all the Business Owners in River and Prospero Streets, South Murwillumbah, who supported me in fighting hard to save our car parks.

I wish to also thank all the hundreds of customers who signed the petition put out by the business owners in River and Prospero Streets last year to stop these closures.

We may not be getting a master plan for South Murwillumbah but at last the Council is recognising that South Murwillumbah is a strong business area and employer.

Council is even going to do a small amount of landscaping at the entrance to the bridge.

We really want them to keep up the interest in this part of town as it is the gateway to Murwillumbah.

Katherine Butterworth, South Murwillumbah

High ground is not out of reach for wildlife

Let’s forget all the hysterics regarding the upgrading of the Clarrie Hall Dam that will see its capacity increased to the extent that for the next few decades the water security in the Tweed Shire is assured.

The Byrill Creek catchment is, due to the natural topography, not a viable solution to build a structure that will store huge quantities of the water. It would simply be a shallow lake.

Raising of the wall at the Clarrie Hall Dam will not cause koalas to drown in their attempt to escape.

The few remaining will simply move higher up the ridges like they have had to in the past to escape from the

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

tree loggers when areas were cleared for agistment and small crops etc.

The cattle that are allowed to enjoy to roam and defecate in the upper Doon Doon reaches of the catchment and pollute our water storage will simply have to join the koalas and head for higher ground.

Maybe they could piggy-back them up the hill.

Unfortunately, some special spots will be inundated including some significant indigenous sites as happened in 1984 when the dam originally flooded.

As for the ratepayers having to pay for a pipe from Hinze Dam, well that won’t be happening.

If the doom and gloom people are correct and we run low on the liquid stuff, we can simply talk to the authorities and open a few valves on the reticulation network and tap into the South East Qld water grid until it rains again in the glorious Tweed Valley hinterland and the dam again fills to overflowing.

I am of the opinion that some of the supporters of the second dam are also the ones who would like to see the valley carved up for subdivisions so they can profit and we could then resemble the overcrowded and choking Sunshine Coast region.

No Thanks.

Paul Taylor, Murwillumbah

Rail Trail not the answer to our transport needs

Can we stop all this misinformation regarding the so called “Rail Trail” because of the short-sighted behaviour and the money pinching of our local, State and Federal Governments we lost the train from Murwillumbah to Casino.

Copycat legislation because other Governments decided trains were old hat. So what if it ran at a loss.

It is a public amenity and should be available to all of us.

I have travelled on many occasions the leg from Murwillumbah to Coffs Harbour and upon returning to Murwillumbah Station found it to be packed with folk travelling as far as Sydney.

How many of the local population which is predominately senior do the powers that be think is going to use this expensive white elephant.

Is it going to be Wheelie Walker or Scooter friendly and what is there to see? We can see trees without traipsing along this track.

I know these Rail Trails are quite popular in other parts of the world and maybe even in Australia where there is some tourist attractions to be seen but the proposed route of this is boring, boring, boring,

lots of trees and not much else.

It seems our Governments do not have a single original thought in their heads.

M Hughes, West Tweed

I support Council’s green bin

In response to Andrew Bennet’s (TVW, March 16) letter I think the community should support Councils initiative to reduce waste to landfill.

We can’t expect the environment to continuously absorb the unsorted by products of our lifestyle.

It’s about behavioural change and transitioning to a new system is difficult but householders can adapt.

According to Tweed Link the green bin will be collected weekly and to suggest that a local authority would compromise their citizen’s health is poor form.

As for opt in or out it’s about supporting a worthwhile initiative eve n i f t h e re i s s o m e c ro s s subsidising for the benefit of the whole community.

Sure, the ideal would be households dealing with their own organics but this is a way to reduce waste a benefit to us all.

Cynthia Brook, Tyalgum

I say “yes” to an organic bin

Despite being an avid home composter, I am delighted to see the new organic bin being rolled out on July, 1.

Organic matter in landfill creates methane - a greenhouse gas 23 times more harmful than CO2. Moreover, organic waste is a resource - a vital ingredient to make nutrient rich compost that will help Tweed farmers and gardeners grow nutrient rich foods. It completes a circle locally.

According the TSC website, the organic service does not accept nappies - even biodegradable ones, however it will accept meat, bones and dairy waste. In a commercial compost, the heat generated kills pathogens and other nasties. These composting systems are widely used across Australian and the world. It is safe.

The organic bin will be collected weekly. Currently we have the landfill bin collected weekly with our food waste and we have managed the smells - even in the recent heatwaves.

So there is no change there. Nappies and incontinence pads and other personal absorbent hygiene items will continue to be collected in the landfill bin. This will be collected fortnightly. If these items are wrapped up tightly when disposed or put into a plastic bag (good opportunity to reuse a bread bag) it won’t smell.

According to the TSC website,

residents will receive a caddy - a small table top bin and a complementary roll of compostable bags to line the caddy. Or if you are like me, I reuse this newspaper to line my caddy. This prevents my caddy and organic bin from getting food soiled.

This system has already been successfully rolled out in Byron, Lismore, Ballina and Clarence Valley Council areas. Tweed is now joining the rest of Northern NSW. Lisa Flower, Murwilllumbah

Council’s new bin system will reduce landfill

Andrew Bennett(TVW 16.3.17) raises some interesting points on the issue of council moving to a new organics service from July.

I can appreciate the challenge of reduced Red bin pickups, but I can also see why council are doing it.

Some years ago I worked for a large council in the south of Sydney.

Our auditing at the landfill site showed that 55-60% of what was being sent to landfill from that large council area was ‘Organic matter’ – the largest single component of the waste stream. Those statistics may be slightly less up here as I would imagine more people may compost organic waste here. (And I have personally always composted and mulched ever since I can remember.)

And what is the problem with organic matter in landfill one might ask?

1.) It is the largest waste stream going into landfill.

2.) All waste in landfill is well and truly compacted (by a big machine) and then covered with a layer of soil.

This means that anything under this is now an-aerobic (ie. no air).

3.) Organic matter breaking down an-aerobically produces two nasty products: Methane, a major, potent greenhouse gas and Leachates, a toxic brew that can get into ground water and waterways etc.

Councils have to deal with these major issues that are a product of the an-aerobic decomposition of organic waste. This entails significant work at landfill sites – Leachate controls and ponds, Methane capture or regulated release.

When we compost organic matter it is primarily done aerobically (ie. with air) and in so doing these products are not created.

And unlike Andrew I would be prepared to buy-back compost from the council once the system is up and running as I know the procedures undertaken in commercially composting organic matter. The high temperatures commercial vermiculture or windrow systems

can achieve would effectively knock out any problematic pathogens – and these temperatures are way beyond what we can achieve with our standard home composting.

Enjoy your common humanity on Harmony Day

On Tuesday, March 21 Australia celebrates Harmony Day, a day in which we celebrate the diversity and inclusive culture our country has sewn. Australia is built on multiculturalism, different people of different walks of life coming together to make our country what it is today.

When I think of multiculturalism, I look to my kids. Some of them come from the most disadvantaged backgrounds imaginable, but despite their race, religion, beliefs and upbringing they manage to find common ground. My kids treat each other with the utmost respect and are the shining example of discrimination having no place in Australia.

Sure, it is our differences that helped shape this country, but I argue that it is our commonalities that hold us together, and it is these commonalities we should be celebrating. We celebrate our differences and it is important to do so, but we shouldn’t let these differences define us.

Youth Off The Streets is holding a variety of Harmony Day events in celebration of the day and encouraging social inclusion. When young people attend our Outreach they have access to fun activities and programs including sports, music and dance, education`1n, volunteering and community projects. These programs are all about connecting with local communities, building relationships and networks, and addressing social isolation and exclusion.

Connecting with your local community is the best way to celebrate harmony day. Joining the festivities in your area or social community encourages discourse on what can be a controversial topic. We as a nation need to come together and support each other despite our differences and this can only be done through building a foundation of commonality.

This harmony day make sure you get involved with your local community and realise your multiculturalism. I implore you to celebrate, talk about and enjoy your common humanity.

Women’s Service debate turns nasty FORMER MEMBERS and supporters of the Tweed Valley Women’s Service (TVWS) have launched Wollumbin Family Support this month, in what they say will fill a gap left behind from the TVWS closure in December 2015.

The announcement follows a recent Domestic Violence discussion at the Legislative Assembly on Thursday, March 9, at the NSW Parliament in Sydney that was triggered by the 10,000 signature petition submitted to Parliment.

The discussion started with Member for Maitland Jenny Aitchison MP who said she was proud to “speak on behalf of the more than 10,000 NSW citizens who signed the petition we are discussing”.

Mrs Aitchison gave a particular thanks to Ilze Jaunberzins, her husband Andres, and Hanna Thomas from Women’s Watch.

“Ilze was formerly of the Tweed Valley Women’s Service when it existed,” she said.

“I thank them for their real dedication to this issue. They have come all the way from Murwillumbah to hear this debate.

“I thank them and the many staff who worked in this service and the more than 10,000 people who signed this petition calling on the Government to reverse a shameful decision.”

Mrs Aitchison was quick to take aim at the State Government for what she said was a “shameful decision to destroy an award-winning, effective domestic violence service in the Tweed Valley”.

“This Government has made some shocking and devastating decisions but allowing a lead agency to terminate a contract based on unsubstantiated allegations is one of the worst,” she said.

“It was a contract that was being delivered by an awardwinning service with a 30-year history in the provision of services to those experiencing domestic and family violence.

“With there being no support or recourse for the agency, the decision is truly contemptible. There are just no other words for it.”

The Tweed Valley Women’s Service was closed in December 2015 after On Track Community Programs deemed the service to be in breach of contract and had its funding cut which resulted in the closure of the service.

The discussion quickly escalated into a slug fest with comments made that were later withdrawn.

“North Coast Nationals members of Parliament need to do

more to represent their community. In the past few weeks I have debated petitions from commercial fishermen in their area who are being shafted by this Government and now a couple of weeks later they are taking services away from women in their electorates,” Mrs Aitchison said.

“Those two members who ignored the cries for help from women in their community are sitting in this place today. I hope they have the grace and guts to look these people in the eye and tell them why they refuse to represent them.

“I thank the Federal member for Richmond, Mrs Justine Elliot, who launched the petition in January 2016. She takes her role in representing the people of the North Coast seriously.

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest MP responded to Mrs Aitchison by stating the government “is fully committed to addressing the terrible impact of domestic violence in our communities and supporting the people who are affected by it, particularly women and children”.

“The NSW Government leads the nation in tackling domestic violence,” Mr Provest said.

“It is leading the nation in creating and funding a system which is responding to one of the biggest social issues affecting the lives of women, men and children.

“The 2016-17 budget doubles the investment in specialist domestic violence initiatives to more than $300 million over four years.

“This is in addition to the hundreds of millions of dollars the Government spends each year through mainstream services in justice, police, health, child protection, social housing and homelessness services.”

Mr Provest emphasised that for the “first time in NSW, rather than having a patchwork of services the Government has created a system for dealing with domestic and family violence that responds in a consistent and effective way”.

“Over the past few years the government has been working hard to improve the service system through better crossgovernment collaboration and new funding to provide more responses to people affected by domestic violence,” he said.

“Under the Government’s homelessness reforms, the responsibility to coordinate crisis services for women experiencing domestic and family violence in the Tweed and some other parts of northern New South Wales was entrusted to On Track Community Programs in 2014. On Track is now known as Third Sector Australia Ltd. “Following a transparent and rigorous tender process which was open to all service providers, On Track was contracted to

deliver the two domestic and family violence targeted specialist homelessness services for the Tweed, which includes the refuges.

“On Track entered into a joint working agreement and subcontract with Tweed Valley Women’s Service to deliver the services.

“However, I am advised that in December 2015 On Track ceased the joint working agreement with Tweed Valley Women’s Service. This decision followed a number of complaints and breaches of contract between Tweed Valley Women’s Service and On Track, and was done in accordance with legal advice.”

“Rather, revised arrangements have supported better service delivery in the area. I am advised by the Department of Family and Community Services that the women’s refuge in the Tweed area has been refurbished and upgraded and available crisis accommodation has been expanded by 60 per cent.”

Mr Provest said service delivery now includes a response 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“Plus an additional intake worker is located at the Tweed refuge to assess clients’ needs by phone or in person; and there are now three offices open with full-time staff when previously there were only two offices open part-time.”

However, several TVWS representative have called for the specific addresses and location of the three support offices stating that they “were yet to locate all three”.

Mr Provest added that services in northern NSW will receive an additional $500,000 per annum for the next two years.

“The extra funding will enable extra after-hours intake, safety planning, support and additional accommodation options for women and children escaping domestic violence, including women and children in the Tweed. The service also provides brokerage for emergency purchases such as food and transport.

“The facts are simple. Services to people in the Tweed affected by domestic violence are stronger than they have ever been.

“Labor had a shocking record on domestic violence when it was in office for 16 years. It offered platitudes on domestic violence when it was in office but did nothing.

“The Opposition has no credible policies in this area. The Government is proud to lead the nation in dealing with domestic violence and will continue to work hard for all the people affected by domestic violence in the Tweed and all parts of the State.”

Meanwhile, the official launch and fundraiser for the new entity, Wollumbin Family Support, will take place at The Regent Cinema Murwillumbah on Friday, March 24.

Doors open at 6.30pm with tickets available for $20.

Meeting called to save legal centre

It’s starting to

THE NORTHERN Rivers Legal Centre are stepping up efforts to save the crucial local service as broad sweeping funding cuts threaten to derail free legal advice.

The centre will host a community gathering on Wednesday, April 5, at the Court House Hotel (upstairs meeting room) from 5.30pm to 7pm.

The Murwillumbah Office of NRCLC has been providing free legal advice and assistance to the Tweed Valley community since 2009 and has helped dozens of people to find their way through a complicated and extremely expensive process.

But across-the-board funding cuts of 30 per cent to the community legal centre sector will see the Northern Rivers Centres lose more $180,000 in funding.

This will result in NRCLC being forced to close its branch office in Murwillumbah, meaning the community would no longer have access when they need legal assistance.

Local politicians including Member for Richmond Justine Elliot has rallied behind the Legal Centre condemning the slash and burn approach being taken by the Turnbull Coalition Government “It is the only free legal service with a permanent presence in the Tweed region,” she said.

“The Tweed area is home to many disadvantaged people who are struggling with various types of legal needs.

“Our community needs the Murwillumbah Office of NRCLC to keep its doors open.”

Speaking with The Weekly, several NRCLC solicitors said the services were utilised by those that “desperately need it”.

“We have several indigenous and nonindigenous clients that would have a lot of difficulty navigating through the legal process,” one solicitor said.

NSW Greens MLC, Dawn Walker has called on the National Party to intervene to ensure the survival of the Murwillumbah

Community Legal Centre.

“Community Legal Centres play a vital role in providing free legal services to vulnerable people, including women and children experiencing family violence, people with disability and people experiencing elder abuse who typically can’t get legal assistance anywhere else,” Mrs Walker said.

“Concerns that the Murwillumbah Community Legal Service and their outreach services to Tweed Heads and Pottsville are facing a drastic reduction or even closure after massive cuts to their funding by the LNP Government is alarming, especially given that it’s the only service of its kind in Tweed Shire.

“The Murwillumbah Community Legal Service is just the latest example of the Liberal-National Party’s ongoing war on Murwillumbah, following the slated sale of Murwillumbah TAFE, closure of the Tweed Valley Women’s Service and the near closure of Murwillumbah Birthing Centre.”

“The Tasmanian State Government has already committed to covering the federal funding cuts to community legal centres at least over 2017/18. The NSW Government should do the same as a bare minimum.

“It’s time that the North Coast Nationals, specifically Thomas George (Member for Lismore) and Benjamin Franklin (Parliamentary Secretary for Northern NSW) stood up for people on the North Coast and ensured the State Government covered these looming cuts to Community Legal Centres so local residents can access the basic legal services they need.”

The cuts to the Northern Rivers Community Legal Centre are part of a 30 per cent cut to Community Legal Centres Australia-wide that are due to take effect from July 1.

TWEED RESIDENTS using the Optus network could soon see improved coverage after Optus announced it will step up its presence in the Tweed and Coolangatta with a $4.5 million roll-out commitment to improve 4G mobile coverage.

Optus’ State Manager for Queensland Mark O’Shea said that the investment will improve network coverage and customer experience across a growing region for residents, businesses and visitors.

“Optus is committed to improving mobile coverage and providing faster internet download speeds for people living, working, and visiting the Tweed and Coolangatta,” Mr O’Shea said.

Optus has earmarked $3.5 million to build eight new sites at Bilambil Heights, Banora Point East, Chinderah Bay, Banora Point, Casuarina, Cobaki Lakes, Pottsville Beach and Murwillumbah West.

Optus will work with the local community to identify the best location for these new mobile sites.

Optus also officially opened its latest Tweed Heads store which has more than 100 square metres of retail space and has created four new local jobs.

Optus Tweed Heads Franchisee John Welch said the new store at Tweed City Shopping Centre, 54 Minjungbal Drive, is much larger, includes new digital technology to simplify transactions, improve customer experience and help small businesses.

“Our new store is much larger to meet the demands of customers. It features the latest design elements and new digital technology to help our customers complete their transactions faster,” Mr Welch said.

“Employing local staff is important and we are excited to be welcoming four new local staff to our team.”

Optus has recently upgraded 12 sites at Elanora, Coolangatta, Kingscliff, Murwillumbah, Currumbin, Palm Beach, Springbrook, Burringbar, Pottsville, Sleepy

Hollow, Chinderah and Coolangatta Airport.

Mr O’Shea referred to an increasing number of people travelling to the Tweed via Coolangatta Airport as well as improvements to the Pacific Motorway.

“More than six million people travel through the Coolangatta Airport each year and this upgrade will ensure they stay connected with family and friends while on holidays or travelling for work,” he said.

“It will also improve coverage along the M1 Pacific Motorway and the Gold Coast Highway which is great news for motorists.”

Cr Cooper celebrates win to keep Local lady with big Kingscliff height limits in check heart recognised AFTER CAMPAIGNING for more than three decades, Tweed Shire Councillor Ron Cooper may have finally found a way to retain a three-storey height limit in the Kingscliff Locality Plan.

The move came through a motion with the title “Kingscliff Locality Plan Community Consultation” put up by Cr Cooper during Council’s March Ordinary Meeting on Thursday, March 16 at Tweed Heads.

The motion resolved that Council progress to the draft Kingscliff Locality Plan to formal public exhibition without additional community based workshop with adjustments including the Marine Parade Town Centre Precinct be limited to a building height of 11 metres.

All other areas of medium density residential zones will be limited to a building height of 12.2 metres and all mixed use and business zones be limited to a building height of 13.6 metres.

The Kingscliff hill area, bounded by Moss Street/ Sutherland Street and Boomerang Street/Cudgen Road be limited to a building height of 9.0 metres.

This revised draft plan will be brought to Council prior to public exhibition and as a consequence of the previous consultation that demonstrated support for more casual open green space, a report be bought back on the potential to facilitate this by providing for an equitable distribution between casual open green space and structured open space.

The motion was carried with the for vote including Mayor Katie Milne who seconded the motion as well as Cr Reece Byrnes and Deputy Mayor Cr Chris Cherry.

Those opposing the motion included Cr James Owen who also criticised the plan and Cr Warren Polglase and Cr Pryce Allsop were also opposed.

Cr Cooper also presented a petition of more than 14,000 signatures of support from locals and those outside the Tweed all opposing buildings over three storeys.

Cr Cooper told The Weekly that the need for more round table community consultation and engagement was desperately lacking.

Cr Cooper also commented on comments made by Cr Owen that the motion meant a “catastrophe for Kingscliff”.

“I think the vast majority of Kingscliff residents and

visitors will be celebrating the first step in securing their three-storey height limit,” Cr Cooper said.

“This has been a 33-year fight since the first eight storey buildings were proposed in Kingscliff.

“They deserve more than the Liberal councillor James Owen declaring that their fight will result in a catastrophe for Kingscliff.

“Being relatively new to the Tweed makes his “I know what’s best for you” mindset appears arrogant.

“Kingscliff has been a remarkable success under our threestorey limit.

“It’s the way residents and visitors like it. The 14,000-strong petition confirmed this.

“People from Casuarina Beach and Bogangar were strong supporters of the petition.

“The Casuarina Beach residents bought into the area on the understanding they were buying into a three-storey maximum locality and have already had to fight to retain this.

“I am confident that there is a majority of councillors who will support them with or without Cr Owen.”

An initial community workshop to inform the proposed Kingscliff Locality Plan was held on Friday 12 September at the Kingscliff Community Hall

A SPECIAL local lady, Edna Gorton, was given some much deserving praise this week when Member for Lismore Thomas George MP gave her an award for her outstanding commitment as a volunteer at the Tweed Palliative Support (TPS) Hospice Shop at Queen Street, Murwillumbah.

Mr George made a surprise visit to the Hospice Shop at 11.30am on Tuesday, March 21, to present TPS Hospice Op Shop Manager Mrs Gorton, with the 2017 NSW Seniors Festival Local Achievement Award.

Mrs Gorton has been the volunteer Manager of three TPS op shops for the past eight years.

She works six days per week from 8am-3.30pm and 8am12.30pm on Saturdays, supervising a volunteer staff of 20.

Edna is known throughout the Tweed and beyond for the warm welcome that shoppers get from her and her staff.

TPS receives no funding from the NSW Health Department palliative care budget and relies on donations to keep operating.

The revenue from the op shops also help with operational costs of the charity’s home hospice and community hospice services.

“Mrs Gorton’s tireless commitment to charity has earned her the respect of Tweed residents and recognition as Volunteer of the Year for the Tweed Shire 2011 and the Pride of Workmanship Award by Mt Warning Rotary AM in 2015,” Mr George said in issuing the award.

Upon hearing about the award Mrs Gorton said the award meant a lot to her as it continued to promote the efforts of the charity.

“This is great for the charity, it will bring more awareness to the need for funds for Wedgetail Retreat community hospice,” she said.

Anyone wanting to support the Tweed Palliative Support and Wedgetail Retreat can phone (02) 6672 8459 or visit the op shop on Queen Street.

Men’s Shed approved for Black Rocks Sports Field

THE POTTSVILLE and District Men’s Shed have been approved to construct a members’ shed at the Black Rocks Sports Field during last Thursday’s Council Ordinary Meeting, ending years of debate and community division around the issue.

The decision, which will allow for an already prefabricated shed structure to be erected, was made during Tweed Shire Council’s monthly Ordinary Meeting this afternoon (Thursday, March 16).

Councillor Reece Byrnes led the motion and was supported

by Cr Warren Polglase, Cr James Owen and Cr Pryce Allsop.

The result brought shouts of joy from the packed public gallery, who were asked throughout the meeting to remain quiet during the formal council proceedings. There were also some shouts against the decision from the public gallery from those disappointed with the decision.

Several Councillors including Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry and Mayor Katie Milne spoke against the motion and was supported with a vote of support from Cr Ron Cooper.

Cr Byrnes led discussion on the matter and said he had experienced a lot of pressure over the issue from the public, but he understood the role of Councillors and what they had “signed up for”.

He said he felt the best way forward for Pottsville, as a community, was to allow the site to have a shed at Black Rocks.

“Although I will call for a koala monitoring in the Black Rocks Sports Field area,” he said.

“This debate is not just about animals, but the community and moving forward with less division.

“There is no alternative site at this stage.”

The decision ends three years of debate, letters to the editor, online discussions and public gatherings in support of the Men’s Shed; as well as those opposing the site at Black Rocks in what they believe noise from the shed will disturb koalas.

However, many residents expressed further concerns over fears continued tension and further anxiety over the Black Rocks site will continue to divide the community.

Pottsville & District Men’s Shed Presidents John Wells, who spoke during community access, said he was overjoyed with the decision.

“This is a great day for the Men’s Shedders,” he said.

“We have finally found a way forward with this vote and can now get back to supporting our members at our new site.”

The site is secured for the next five years, although Mayor Milne attempted to have the site vote deferred with an amendment, which was supported by Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry.

The amendment proposed Lot 3 Centennial Drive location as well as or several private locations that could be purchased.

Mayor Milne said there was current six sites available.

She implored Cr Byrnes to reconsider his position and called for cooperation.

Cr Cherry said she supported the amendment because it allowed an April deferral to allow for the State Government report.

However, the amendment was voted down and the original motion was carried.

Mayor Milne moved a second amendment motion to ensure the Men’s Shed actively looks for a permanent site.

“I move a motion that the five license be granted on condition that the Pottsville & District Men’s Shed at Black Rocks that they actively locate and seek a permanent site.”

However, the second amendment was also voted down and the original motion was carried.

Cr Allsop said he trusted the Men’s Shed to investigate future options.

An overjoyed Pottsville & District Men’s Shed members group and supporters at the Tweed Shire Council Ordinary Meeting Earlier during community access there was a fiery exchange between both Pottsville Men’s Shed members and those opposing the site.

President John Wells presented a petition containing 2,500 signatures which he said came from local residents in the region.

Cr Cherry asked about membership numbers at the shed?

Mr Wells replied that have 41 members.

Cr Cherry asked whether any application had been made around alternative sites? Mr Wells replied that he has had meetings with Mr Provest and the State Government.

“We went to Council, and met with Mayor at the time (Former Mayor) Barry Longland, could we look at Black Rocks Sports Field,” he said.

Mr Wells admitted that there has been no formal application made to Crown Lands. Cr Cherry and Mayor Milne asked whether the Men’s Shed had looked for any other sites.

Mr Wells said he had conversation about other sites including “eleven other sites were considered”, but he added

there had been no formal applications made.

Mayor Milne pressed Mr Wells on whether the Men’s Shed had investigated alternative sites and why this did not occur.

Mayor Milne asked if Mr Wells had investigated any private sites but he said “the club did not investigate any private sites as the club does not have any budget to consider private land”.

The community meeting was debated by the gallery after those opposing the Black Rocks Sports Field said they were given on one person to debate when those for the Men’s Shed had two speakers. Mayor Milne allowed a further three minutes for those opposing the Men’s Shed site.

Pottsville resident and Threatened Species Conservation Society president Dave Norris came out firing during his community access speech.

“Mr Wells said the Men’s Shed had applied for a site through Crown Lands, but that did not happen even after Lot 1 was found to be suitable, but just required an application,”he said.

“I have been advised that we have other sites, two new potential sites. Mr Provest MP said there was plenty of Crown Lands site in the Pottsville area and all the Men’s Shed needed to do was make an application.

“Mr Provest said he would also provide a park site at the holiday park as a temporary site.

“I therefore call for the motion to be deferred until the Men’s Shed makes an application to Crown Land to find a permanent site.”

Mayor Milne asked Mr Norris whether he had engaged with the Pottsville & District Men’s Shed to try and organise alternative sites.

Mr Norris added that should the Black Rocks Sports Field be approved for a Men’s Shed his campaigning against the site “would continue”.

Find a bargain at the Car Boot Sale BARGAINS A PLENTY will soon be on offer at the Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central’s annual Monster Car Boot Sale at Murwillumbah Showgrounds on Sunday, April 9.

Home makeover shows that keep telling us all to ‘de-clutter’ have also helped to encourage these clear-outs resulting in an excessive amount of treasures.

“They’re a great way of turning trash into cash by sorting out the spare room, garage and home office, earning a tidy

sum from items that would otherwise just gather dust or end up in the bin or at the tip,” organisers said.

Thank You Pottsville

It has been an absolute privilege to have cared for the wonderful people of Pottsville for the past eight years.

Life has taught me that to be a good doctor, I have to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of my patients and in order to do this effectively I have to make sure my own health is intact.Unfortunately, as we all know, life is a cycle, and I was caught in a segment of this cycle in which I needed two successive back operations performed by the excellent neurosurgeon, Dr Neil Cochrane.

The operations were a success and improved my pain, however my back flexibility and other degenerative changes can not be fixed.

As a consequence of not feeling that

I am in perfect health to be able to deliver the quality of care that I used to, and not wanting to disappoint you or myself. After 18 years working as a doctor in the Australian Health System, I have decided to retire and look forward to resuming some of my old hobbies.

My dear friends, I have chosen to communicate with you through this opportunity given to me by your very kind local newspaper as I was overwhelmed with emotion after receiving hundreds of ‘Get Well’ cards and testimonials through the 8 months I have been on sick leave.

Being inundated in this way truely touched my heart and made me feel very proud to have been a part of your

community - this has been the best medicine that I could have had for my persistent pains.

I know most of you by name and I am truly blessed to have been able to establish that kind of relationship with you. Practical medicine, most of the time, differs with academic medicine; so the art of medicine is to recognise our limitations and seek help when it is needed, which I have alway done. The secret of being a good GP is not to know everything about every condition, but knowing how to determine if a problem is a serious one needing urgent assessment and treatment. Our role is to be there, provide comfort, alleviate suffering, listen and be engaged.

My previous profession as a cardiologist and an advisor to the Prime Minister of Albania have given me a good platform to be confident in my ability to gain your trust and respect, however day by day I have felt more and more a part of the community, which has encouraged and built my confidence. Confidence and competence are closely related, however it is competence that is essential in the field of medicine, and one can never step on to a learning curve at the top. I can give my reassurance to each and every one of you that I have looked after you wholeheartedly, and far better than I looked after my then Prime Minister.

You are far more deserving of the

Coming to the close of this communication, I would like to remind you to keep in touch with your local MP Geoff Provest (a good friend of mine too) in regards to the Ambulance Station for the Pottsville Community he promised me during the past election campaign and indeed the money was allocated by the NSW government on his request.

Good on you Geoff ! Moving forward, there are 2 reasons to remember

me- our friendship for ever and the Pottsville Ambulance Station.

I leave you in my colleagues capable hands and the wonderful receptionists at Pottsville Medical Centre-HealthOne. Once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the ongoing support and respect you have given me during the last 8 years and God bless you all.

Banana Festival future uncertain as new not-for-profit sought INCREASED FINANCIAL pressure and mounting community negativity from social media has resulted in a vote from Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central Inc members to cease the club’s involvement with the festival and to hand it off to another potential operator.

The Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central’s motion was carried during the club’s monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 21, in which more than 15 members met to discuss the matter.

The club emphasised its commitment to handing the Tweed Valley Banana Festival off to a similar non-for-profit club or group, while also made a commitment to offer assistance to the new potential operator to undertake the festival drawing on the Rotary club’s 10 years of experience.

The offer throws down an attractive challenge for a similar not-for-profit organisation to step up and take over one of the longest running festivals in Australia, as well as ensuring its long-term survival.

In fact, in many ways it was the Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central who more than a decade ago raised its hand to take on the festival when it was in similar jeopardy during the mid-2000s.

Rotary (D9640) Assistant Governor Denis Hallworth recently expressed this view in the club’s monthly newsletter of which an extract is below.

“In the mid-2000s our Rotary club was asked by the festival committee to assist with a serious problem when they were not able to find an insurance company willing to offer suitable cover,” Mr Hallworth wrote.

“We agreed to cover the festival under the Rotary insurance policy, the requirements by our insurance company being that the event could not be a separate incorporated body, but a project of the club.

“Had we not been able to make these arrangements the Banana Festival would have ceased to exist at that time.”

However, Mr Hallworth said the recent change came when Tweed Shire Council altered their policy for supporting festivals that resulted in a “significant reduction when we had asked for a significant increase” to festival funds.

“In addition, we were informed that future support will be subject to the festival being altered to meet modern expectations in its program and events, and meeting the many safety and other regulations such as garbage control, traffic control and crowd control,” Mr Hallworth wrote.

“Hard to do on a limited budget with volunteer personnel.

The writing was on the wall, change or fail.

“Either find more sponsors or in a short time the Festival would be losing money, not meeting legal requirements, and in great trouble.

“We needed to put the festival on a more professional basis and to do that needs more sponsorship.”

The club also invited The Weekly editor Jonathon Howard, Tweed Experiences Network and Mt Warning Tours operator Michael Simmons, Murwillumbah icon and Murwillumbah Lions Club member Phil Taylor and his son and Murwillumbah Apex Club member Duncan Taylor.

During the meeting it was noted that for the past ten years the Rotary Club of Murwillumbah has been committed to operating the Tweed Valley Banana Festival without profit and to the benefit of the community.

The club also acknowledged the hard work and efforts of the Banana Festival committee, who late last week expressed their views with a walk out during a Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central meeting after a decision was made to change the festival to become known as “Harvest Festival”.

The walkout was made public via social media and resulted in widespread criticism.

But according to the Rotary Club Central Inc President

Elect Tony Thompson there was “no choice” but to make the name change in order to modernise the festival and meet the demands from sponsors in order to afford mounting costs due to tightening festival regulations.

News of the name change also resulted in widespread negative reactions from those closely connected to the festival, which in turn impacted the wider community with complaints ranging from a need to undertake community consultation to calls for a compromise with names such as the Banana and Harvest Festival.

But the recent public backlash has pushed some members at Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central to question whether the festival should continue with the club and ultimately a vote was carried to cease the festival under the club’s operation.

While there are many differing views on the processes towards the name change and whether the club could have continued the festival remains a mystery and the club said its involvement in the festival had now reached an end, a view that Mr Hallworth touched on in the club’s newsletter.

“Since then (the walk out) a social media campaign has been aimed at our club, irrespective of fact the festival would have folded several years ago had we not agreed to bring the event under Rotary,” he wrote.

However, the festival manager Eryn Young said “no social media campaign was made by the committee”.

“I simply posted my resignation that sparked community outrage,” Mrs Young said.

Meanwhile, Mr Hallworth highlighted that running the Banana Festival became the club’s responsibility “by accident when it agreed to cover the festival with Rotary insurance”.

“It is possible another organisation may feel sufficiently confident and have the resources to go ahead with the festival in its existing form, and should such an organisation come forward, I would be pleased if we assist where we can, if they wish our support.”

While the social media comments had the intention of drawing community input to the matter, it may have also had negative impacts on the Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central members, who have since had negative comments directed towards them both in public and via social media.

Mounting costs which President Elect Mr Thompson explained were associated with the festival under its current title were difficult, although communication issues resulted

Apex member Duncan Taylor, Apex and Lions Club member Phil Taylor with Rotary (D9640) Assistant Governor Denis Hallworth and Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central Inc member Catherine Brooks

in the Banana Festival committee stating that they were less informed that the festival was facing imminent closure without a name change.

However, the club said the matter was brought to the table many times although the festival committee said “it did not support a name change nor support the enlisting of a fundraising manager”.

Mr Thompson said the club had worked in the interests of the festival in order to address mounting costs.

“We had engaged an fundraising manager to advise us on the best way forward in order to gain enough sponsorship interest to keep the festival alive,” Mr Thompson said.

“We were not going to change the core events parades and Banana Queen traditions, in fact we had intended to enhance them through this sponsorship support.”

However, the festival committee had expressed “shock” that the club had taken advice from one source to change the name “instead of consulting the committee”.

Mr Thompson said the company had advised the club to change the name to Harvest Festival and that sponsors would then express greater “interest” in the festival.

“We were told the name Banana Festival wasn’t what they wanted,” he said.

Mrs Young said “there appeared to be no negotiations with those involved with the festival and felt my input was no longer valued”.

“Had we known the situation was so dire and would require a name change, we would have helped to gain the sponsorship and make up the shortfall, but changing the festival goes against the original concept,” Mrs Young said.

“I feel during this whole process there’s been a complete lack of communication which resulted in poor decisions being made.”

Mrs Young also encouaged another not-for-profit to take on the highly historical event and she’s also expressed a willingness to help mentor the new group or club, if required.

“I’d encourage another not-for-profit to take on the Tweed Valley Banana Festival, it’s a shame what has happened but I’m hopeful for a positive outcome,” she said.

Mrs Young would like to thank the Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central members for their custodianship of the festival during the past 10 years.

Although the festival’s future is uncertain a campaign to “save the Banana Festival” is gaining early momentum with the possibility another not-for-profit to throw it’s hand up as well as local businesses throwing their support behind the event.

The challenge remains as to whether another not-for-profit group or club will support the Tweed Valley Banana Festival now and into the future.

The Weekly has offered to contribute financially and through the media to continue to promote the event and would like to appeal to current and existing sponsors to continue to support the next group to take on the iconic festival.

Australia’s second longest running festival, the beloved Tweed Valley Banana Festival was started in 1956 by Murwillumbah local banana grower Bill Taylor who wanted to promote the benefits of eating bananas.

The festival has since grown into a tradition of celebrating local services, charities and agriculture while inspiring the lives of young people through the Banana Queen Titles.

The son of banana Bill Taylor and Murwillumbah local identity Phil Taylor, who told The Weekly he was “pleased with the outcome”.

“The Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central has done a great job over the past ten years and we should give thanks and praise for this service,” he said.

“I was happy with the motion that was carried by the club and I would also encourage another not-for-profit to take the festival on.”

Any not-for-profit club or group wanting to find out more about the Tweed Valley Banana Festival is encouraged to contact Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central Inc.

Learn to resuscitate mums and dads

Australian Red Cross first aid trainer Janie McCullagh said she was concerned that parents surveyed were not confident in their ability to step in during an emergency, either because they had no CPR skills at all or it had been some time since they had undertaken training.

“Australian Red Cross believes everyone should be prepared for an emergency and that’s why we support first aid training across the country,” she said.

“A few hours in a Red Cross training program to learn CPR, or doing a CPR refresher course, can save a life.”

“Apart from the in-store demonstrations we have also secured an exclusive rate for anyone that wants to upgrade their skills with Australian Red Cross and complete the four-hour CPR certification or a full first aid course. We want to see as many locals as possible making a difference for their families.”

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.

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%.

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.

POOLWERX TWEED Heads will host a 20-minute hands on CPR demonstration in store on Wednesday, April 5, at 9am to help refresh the communities’ knowledge on how they could help save a life.

The refresher course comes after a recent Poolwerx study found that 75 per cent of Aussie parents believed they did not have the necessary CPR skills to save a life in an emergency.

These alarming statistics have spurred the creation of April Pools Day, a CPR safety initiative of Poolwerx, supported by official training partner Australian Red Cross and safety campaigner Laurie Lawrence of Kids Alive.

Matthew Graves, from Poolwerx, said the study also found 37 per cent of parents did not know where to get CPR training, 26 per cent believed they did not have the time to undertake training and 34 per cent said their partner knew CPR, making it unnecessary for them to learn.

Launching on April 1, Mr Graves said the aim with April Pools Day is to provide everyone with an opportunity to refresh their basic CPR skills.

“And hopefully remind them what a vital skill it is to rely on in an emergency,” he said.

Laurie Lawrence, Founder of Kids Alive and advocate of April Pools Day said anything that would help reduce drowning statistics and improve pool safety was worth getting behind.

“We had a dreadful Summer this year with 24 deaths and while drowning statistics are dropping overall, every life lost is one too many,” he said.

“April Pools Day speaks to our fifth step ‘Learn how to resuscitate’ and it is absolutely vital parents have this skill as a child is four times more likely to survive if given CPR. “Drowning deaths are preventable if we all take ownership. Our greatest hope is that everyone who learns CPR never has to put it to use, but it’s so important to have that knowledge if the worst were to happen. An attempt at CPR is better than nothing.”

Experience the joys of helping others through the Tweed Palliative Support volunteer

SEVERAL TWEED Palliative Support (TPS) volunteers were recently invited to share their thoughts and fulfillment around volunteering their time to support others, as they also appeal for new volunteers to join the group training course on Tuesday, April 11.

TPS volunteer Autumn Camidge has been a volunteer since the founding days of the support service 14 years ago.

“During that time, I have experienced different aspects of being involved with TPS. As a long-term member of the Management Committee as well as caring for clients,” Mrs Camidge said.

“My primary contribution is as the training coordinator recruiting new volunteers and coordinating the training program and supporting other volunteers.”

Mrs Camidge said the most fulfilling part of her volunteer work was knowing that she is am helping TPS to keep providing the quality service that it provides to the community.

“Being part of that team,” she said.

“Seeing new volunteers embarking on their journey with TPS and being part of that process.

“Listening to volunteers share their experiences and hearing about how privileged they feel to be able to help.”

Recent TPS volunteer Didi Simons started her training last year and started volunteering in December 2016.

“I feel a great sense of fulfillment and satisfaction when I leave Wedgetail,” she said.

“Sometimes tired from loads of laundry but always glad that I can use my abilities, skills and gifts to help such a worthwhile endeavour.”

Mrs Simons said the best way to get involved with TPS was to come along to the nine-week training course that begins on Tuesday April 11.

“Through this course, one day a week, the prospective volunteer learns all about the role of volunteer carer with Tweed Palliative Support and also about themselves,” she said.

“The areas that need support are many, all are necessary for the success of the whole.

“Caring, in the hospice, or in the community; Whole Foodsupporting the running of the hospice and the nurses; helping out at the TPS op shop or the office; fundraising; transporting clients or furniture; writing forHands the newsletter. - On “There is something for everyone, and some people volunteer in more than one area.”

Diann Endicott, who hasCooking been a TPS volunteer for 10 months, said anyone can become a volunteer, commencing

with the TPS Volunteers Course starting shortly.

“I would thoroughly recommend this course to everyone, it was the most inspirational, self-reflecting and motivating course I have ever experienced,” Mrs Endicott said.

“Volunteers are needed in many areas including carers, Op Shop, client transport, fund raising, maintenance handy person, office and Wedgetail chef, are just a few to mention.

“Wedgetail Retreat is a free service funded by donations, the Op Shop and fundraising events.

“This wonderful peaceful environment is a very “special place” built among the tree tops at Dulguigan, with sweeping views of the valley below.

“It provides a tranquil alternative to a hospital or nursing home, for those requiring respite or end-of-life care, with

their families and loved ones.”

All three ladies agreed that becoming a volunteer means finding a sense joy in helping others through a challenging time in their lives.

“It also means connection with others who have the same passion through our monthly carer support meetings. To use my life experience in a useful and rewarding way,” said Mrs Simons.

Mrs Camidge said listening to our newest volunteers express how much they enjoyed the training program and how beneficial it had been for them in their own lives.

Real Estate

Kathryn Leslight is your Agent of the Week P SMITH & Son Principal Kathryn Leslight started her career in real estate 24-years ago, when she joined the then much smaller team at P Smith & Son as property manager.

“P Smith & Son has been owned and operated by my family for over 140 years & 13 years ago, when my father retired, I became the 5th generation Smith to own and operate the business,” she said.

“I have done so with a huge amount of loyalty and commitment to the business, the team I work with and the clients for whom we represent.”

Kathryn said she wasn’t always drawn to life in the real estate business until something clicked.

“I wouldn’t have thought it as a child growing up, but I think it’s safe to say real estate is definitely in my blood,” she said.

“I am a licenced Real Estate Agent and have been for more than 18 years and whilst over the years I have tried out Real Estate Sales, I have kept coming back to Property Management, it’s definitely where my passion, my interest and my enthusiasm lie.

“And after 24 years experience in Murwillumbah and Tweed, its definitely safe to say I’ve learned a great deal about the ‘game’ and that experience is a huge advantage

Tweed Rental demand rises while vacancy rates lower RENTAL DEMAND continues to increase across the Tweed Shire as the latest data shows the region has the lowest vacancy rate in NSW. The rental demand data comes from a realestate.com.au report that looked at the number of visits per listed rental property over a six month period (between September 1 2016 to February 28 2017).

The number of views per rental property was then compared to the same period in the previous year.

Across the Tweed Shire all areas saw an increase in the number of visits per property apart from Pottsville which saw a 28 per cent decrease.

The highest demand was in Tweed Heads West (28 per cent increase) and Murwillumbah (25 per cent) which is likely due to the fact these suburbs are the most affordable in the Tweed. The current median rent in Tweed Heads West is $330 per week and Murwillumbah $370 per week.

The northern end of the Tweed Coast also saw high demand for rental properties with Kingscliff seeing a 21 per cent increase in viewings and Casuarina 23 per cent. This was despite the median rent rising to $450 per week in Kingscliff and $520 per week in Casuarina.

According to the latest CoreLogic Regional Market Report the median rent for houses across Richmond-Tweed increased by 4.7 per cent to $450 per week whilst units increased 5.4 per cent to $390.

This comes as the latest vacancy rate figures released by the Real Estate Institute

of NSW (REINSW) approach 1 per cent for the region. For the Northern Rivers Region in the month of February the vacancy rate reduced from 1.6 per cent to just 1.1 per cent, the lowest in the state.

According to the REINSW, vacancy rates were affected by the summer holidays and festive season.

“Activity was limited prior to Australia Day with the desire to search for new rental accommodation low on the agenda during this busy time,” REINSW President John Cunningham said.

“We started to see a recovery in the market as the month progressed.”

This comes as data released by CoreLogic shows the number of rental properties in the country are rising as investor demand increases.

The report shows that the number of rental advertisements over the past year has increased by 8.7 per cent for houses and 9.3 per cent for units.

The January 2017 housing finance data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) showed that over the month, investors committed a total of $13.8 billion in finance for investment properties.

This figure is a 4.2 per cent rise over the month and a 27.5 per cent increase from the previous year.

According to the RBA there is $572.2 billion in investor credit outstanding to Australian lenders. This figure accounts for 34.9 per cent of all housing credit outstanding ($1.637 trillion) and 21.5 per cent of total outstanding credit.

“I have built very solid working relationships with countless property owners over the years, a number of whom were P Smith & Son clients when I first started here and who remain with me to this day.”

Kathryn said her team pride themselves on providing clients with quality service that exceeds their expectations.

“I am so proud of the quality of service we provide and when our clients tell me our service exceeds their expectations and is better than experiences with some other agents, that’s when I know I’m doing something right.”

Report shows rising sales and prices across Tweed PROPERTY PRICES and sales are continuing to increase across the Tweed Shire according to the latest Regional Market Report released by CoreLogic earlier this month.

The median house price for the RichmondTweed region rose by 9.1 per cent for houses to $504,569, while units have increased by 8.7 per cent to $385,870 over the year to December 2016.

The number of property sales also increased over the year, with current activity up 5 per cent from November 2015, tracking 22 per cent above the five year average.

Homes are selling faster when compared to this time last year and vendors are able to discount by a slightly lower amount to secure a sale, with a typical house selling 11

days faster (97 days), and the average unit selling 15 days faster (84 days).

The average vendor was discounting by -5.2 per cent on houses and -4.3 per cent on units over the year to November.

The regional research found that over the year to December 2016, home value growth increased across all three New South Wales regions. While Illawarra saw the largest increase in values across both houses (15.2 per cent) and units (14.8 per cent), growth was more moderate across the RichmondTweed and Newcastle and Lake Macquarie regions, with home values rising by less than 10 per cent.

To the north the Gold Coast saw the biggest increase in Queensland over the year to December, up 6.9 per cent for houses and 5.5 per cent for units.

Helping retirees sell will help supply says REINSW THE REAL Estate Institute of NSW released a statement last month encouraging the State Government to provide stamp duty incentives to older Australians to help with housing supply.

THE REINSW said the key to housing supply is unlocking property held by retirees and upgraders who are choosing to stay put due to the cost of stamp duty.

REINSW President John Cunningham said comments made by NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian that she is open to tax changes to improve supply and housing affordability are a step in the right direction.

“Premier Berejiklian has stated that the key to housing affordability is supply. However, supply is not just about new homes. The key to housing supply is unlocking existing properties held by retirees.

“Buyers are now forking out over four per cent of the value of a property on stamp duty and this is stopping the supply of established homes flowing into the market.

“This problem has been caused by

successive governments who failed to address stamp duty bracket creep for over 30 years.

“By providing stamp duty incentives to older Australians to downsize we will see many more properties coming onto the market.

“There would be a chain reaction. One transaction can set off a chain reaction that leads to 10 sales. If we get the supply of existing properties flowing then the price pressure will be eased.

“In order to set this in motion we call on the NSW government to provide retirees with a 50 per cent reduction in stamp duty for a residential property purchased to replace an existing residential property up to the value of $1 million.

“In combination with this strategy there needs to be genuine and compelling incentives for all buyers, including retirees, to relocate to regional areas in order to ease the pressure on the Sydney market,” Mr Cunningham said.

Clippers whirl on the Tweed for Greatest Shave SEVERAL TWEED businesses took part in the World’s Greatest Shave for a Cure on Friday, March 17, including the very brave staff at The Sugar Beat in Murwillumbah, Bio-logical owner David Hancox and Sanitair staff in Tweed Heads.

The Sugar Beat hosted their shave off and hair colour makeovers at 6-8 Commercial Road in Murwillumbah which was also attended by Mr Hancox.

The Sugar Beat and Bio-Logical helped raise more than $2000 with more funds due until the final appeal date on Friday, June 30.

Sanitair staff in Tweed Heads also had a big fundraising push this year after they raised $1347 with more donations due until June 30.

The Sugar Beat owner Matthew Barter also took the leap and lopped the top, alongside Madura Tea employee Gary Bennett, who was on his lunch break and Murwillumbah local Chad Westbury, who was walking the dog and having breakfast.

Jess’s mother and sister, along with several other nominees, also took part by colouring their hair blue and red.

Jess and Dave attracted a range of other onlookers to brave the clippers for a good cause, which is to continue research into Leukaemia Foundation and awareness for blood cancers.

Anyone wanting to make a donation to this annual cause can visit the World’s Greatest Shave for a Cure website or phone The Sugar Beat on (02) 6672 2330 or Sanitair on 1800 130 168.

SEVERAL TWEED residents have been going bananas over potholes this week following heavy rainfall during the past week, which has left many roads looking like swiss cheese.

Social media posts are coming in thick and fast across the shire including from Kingscliff, Pottsville, Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads.

But the award for the biggest pothole of the week should go to a series of three giants found at Fingal at the entrance to the quarry, where regular surfers and tourists park to access Dreamtime Beach.

Fran and her husband Bunny Rabbitts supplied the photo (pictured below) and said the pothole was around 15 metres long and seven metres wide.

“It’s in quite a state down there, there’s three of them,” Mr Rabbitts said.

“I think there needs to be some crucial work done there to prevent further issues to access.”

Other concerns came from the Tweed Coast with several residents reporting new potholes emerging from recent heavy rainfall.

Readers are encouraged to report pothole issues to Tweed Shire Council via www.tweed. nsw.gov.au/ReportAProblem YOUR THOUGHTS: Is there a pothole that's driving you bananas? We’d like to hear from you. Send your photo and location to editor@theweekly.net.au

Hayes Toyota celebrates 100 years of local service ICONIC MURWILLUMBAH Toyota dealer Hayes Toyota located at 34-32 Prospero Street is this year celebrating 100 years since it was established.

Hayes Toyota was set up by the late Albert George Hayes when he purchased a blacksmith wheel shop in 1917.

Glimpses of the businesses’ past 100 years can be seen inside the Hayes Toyota showroom today, which includes one of the original blacksmith anvils and horse and buggy carts.

From its roots in blacksmithing, Mr A.G Hayes (pictured right) acquired a motor vehicle franchise in the early 1920s to coincide with his horse drawn business and went on to become one of the leading country motor dealers between Brisbane and Newcastle, selling many brands including the General Motors range.

Following his retirement in 1951 the business was handed over to his two sons Tom and Reg who managed to obtain the Austin agency which later became BMC and later Leyland Australia.

These were difficult times for the business as Holden and later Falcon took a strangle hold over the industry with the British product often struggling against the fierce competition.

In 1975, the company applied for the Toyota passenger franchise and following their appointment were able to experience for the first time the quality of the Toyota product with new levels of sales being achieved.

Unfortunately, Tom’s sudden death in 1979 and Reg’s decision to retire brought what seemed to be a sudden end to what can only be described as a true pioneer dealership.

Both Tom and Reg’s sons were active in the dealership and decided to take up the challenge for the future.

Bert Hayes Junior was appointed dealer principal and was assisted by his cousin Jim, who carried on the tradition their grandfathers had started.

They were soon appointed Toyota Commercial dealers and were engaged in a complete re-building exercise of the dealership.

Today a state of the art dealership stands on the same site as its humble beginning in 1917.

“At Hayes Toyota we are proud to have been market leaders in our prime market area every year since 1990,” Mr Hayes said.

“We have received many of the highest recognition awards from Toyota for sales service and parts including four times rural dealer of the year.

“Our company history of serving the people of the Tweed region is probably longer than most, but above all our grandfather's motto continues with every business transaction we do.”

Mr Hayes has continued the companies’ tradition of customer's first and maintaining a strong local employment base including Hayes Toyota General Manager Michael McCabe, who has been with the company for 20 years.

To find out more about Hayes Toyota or to book a test drive in one of the latest models visit 34-32 Prospero Street or phone (02) 6672 1666.

THE TWEED REGION in northern NSW offers a unique combination of World Heritage rainforests, dramatic mountain ranges, fertile green fields, uncrowded beaches and world-famous surf breaks, alongside stunning, winding roads, that are perfect for a day trip, weekend away or extended driving holiday – all nestled in the eroded caldera of the largest shield volcano in the Southern Hemisphere 1. The Tweed is one of the richest and diverse regions for flora and fauna in Australia thanks to the mild climate, topography, rainfall and altitude.

2. The Tweed Valley contains 14 National Parks and Reserves including 3 World Heritage Listed areas that incorporate hundreds of kilometres of bushwalking trails, from short strolls (less than 500m) to 3 day hikes.

3. The Tweed is home to first class surf breaks and world surfing champions Steph Gilmore and Mick Fanning.

4. The Tweed boasts the highest number of artists per capita than any other shire in Australia. Local galleries showcase the work of artists inspired by the landscape, wildlife, history, community and spirituality of our beautiful region.

5. The region is famous for the stunning natural environment and boasts 35km of uncrowded, unspoilt coastline. When strolling along the Tweed Coast beaches you see hinterland and green space, not high rises and sky scrapers.

6. Cook Island nature reserve - a short 600m from the Tweed Shore - offers some of the best scuba diving and snorkeling along the south-east QLD/northern NSW coastline.

It is home to green turtles, spotted Eagle rays, cuttlefish, wobbygongs and (completely harmless) leopard sharks. Snorkeling trips and dive charters are available so you can swim with the turtles.

7. At Fingal Head you can see Australia’s very own Giant’s Causeway. An amazing spectacle of vertical columns and hexagonal cross sections of rock which were formed by the cooling of basalt lava flows from the ancient volcano.

8. The Tweed region is one of the largest refuges of ancient Antarctic Beech Trees which covered most of Australia and Antartica when they were part of the Gondwana supercontinent.

9. In the heart of the Tweed region you will find the best example of a preserved erosion caldera in the world and the largest in the southern hemisphere!

10. The Tweed is home to Mt Warning (Wollumbin), the remnant of an ancient shield volcano. It is a towering 1.156km mountain in the centre of the Tweed Valley that is the first place on mainland Australia that the sun’s rays touch each morning. Mt Warning (Wollumbin) is the last remnant of the extinct volcanos central core. Named Wollumbin, meaning Cloud Catcher by the Bundjalung people who lived in the area before European settlement, it stands tall and proud in the centre of the Tweed Shire.

The peak of the mountain can be seen from almost everywhere in the shire.

Round Mountain Girls launch new album

J

Local sounds with Chantal Waters particular style or genre that could be pinned down and labelled. I wrote and arranged all the songs on the debut album.

Q. Are you playing live with the band?

We haven’t done our first show yet, that’s going to be coming at some point soon.

We’ve only been officially a band for just over a week. It’s a great experience and I’m glad it’s become the band that it is.

Q. You’ve been a solo artist for quite some time?

I work as a musician for a living, I mainly have done covers but I always throw my original tracks in to live gigs as well just to change it up a bit, I still do them with a looper pedal so I kind of sound like I’ve got a band behind me which is cool but it is very different to what I have done in the past.

Q. Where can the public listen and or purchase the album? www.simonmeola.com or you can stream the album live on Spotify. www.Facebook. com/simonmeolatle

Nimbin Roots Festival announces huge three-day lineup THE NIMBIN Roots Festival has announced an incredible lineup of artists who will bring their unique sound to the authentic roots music event this September.

More than 50 acts from across Australia and beyond will weave their magic in the counter culture capital from September 15 to 17.

The acts span a rich array of styles from the politically charged folk pop of Kahl Wallis to the sweet alt-country sounds of Aria nominated songwriter Paul Greene.

Audiences will also be treated to gospel inspired songs of love, loss and redemption from American duo The War and Treaty.

“I believe that people want to hear music from artists who mean it and that’s what you’re going to get from these amazing musicians,” co-founder of the festival Louise Bradley said.

“We’ve added an extra day to the festival and two new stages to fit in all the incredible music and I’m so excited about every single act performing.”

Nimbin Roots, which makes use of the town’s wonderful performance spaces, will this year feature a new location,

Nostalgia is one of the key word to explain the phenomenal success of the film Beauty and the Beast which opened a week ago in the US and has already surpassed all previous box office records for a G rated film.

The film will open this week in Australia, where it will surely replicate the same success. Beauty and the Beast is the latest endeavor by Disney to re-create one of its classic animated films – already the winner of two Oscars in 1991 - with live action and digital effects. In recent years other classics such as Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Maleficent and The Jungle Book have been released in the same format. As Dave Hallis, head of Disney’s distribution has said ‘Nostalgia is a very powerful driver for these films. What’s exciting here is there is an opportunity to see these beloved stories in a way that has never been seen before, but you get to build that on the foundation of something that is very familiar”.

Beauty and the Beast has already been at the center of some controversy for including the first openly gay character in a Disney movie in a scene towards the end of the film. While many congratulated Disney for catching up with the times, some derided it - and in Malaysia the movie had to be pulled from release because of censorship.

On another note, the pivotal scene when the character Lumiere sings Be Our Guest is one of the most elaborate and expensive musical numbers ever shot, and it will surely be a joy to watch.

Although having played on the big stage at Bluesfest, Woodford Folk Festival and The Gympie Muster the band said they still enjoy playing live shows across the Tweed.

“We’ve always had great support on the Tweed from our earliest days and we still love playing at those venues who put their faith in us when we started out,” the band said.

Those that attend the launch will be in for a treat with the band playing the new album in full.

“We’ll play the album in its entirety and follow it with a typical RMG after party set,” they said.

“We’ve got Dan Hannaford and Brad Butcher supporting us on the night, both of whom we greatly admire as musicians. It’ll be a great night and there’s likely to be some spontaneous jamming towards the end!”

The band will tour the country to launch their new album.

March 25, Album launch Cudgen Leagues Club, Kingscliff.

April 13, Bluesfest, Byron Bay. April 23, Brunswick Hotel, Brunswick Heads.

April 24, Kingscliff Hotel, Kingscliff.

HI ALL, welcome to Local Sounds. This week I caught up with Simon Meola from a new band called The Liquid Eclectic. This four-piece band with Jaime Bosomworth on piano, Cam Roydhouse on drums, and Phil Ryan on bass takes a fresh look at hard rock blues, world music, and acoustic instrumental and roots music.

The Liquid Electric have recently been signed to JBM Entertainment, Nashville and their debut album ‘The Purple Pill’ was released worldwide last week. After signing to the record label the album was completely remastered by Jeff Byrd of JBM Entertainment.

Simon Meola became a full-time working musician back in 2005 and has played thousands of live shows mainly across the Gold Coast/Tweed area along with the United States and Mexico.

I spoke to Simon about the new band and the inspiration behind their unique album.

Q. What is the new album called?

The new album is called The Purple Pill.

I had several bands throughout the years but I wanted to do something a bit different and I had a variety of songs that I wanted to record so I just looked for the best musicians I knew to come in and play these songs with me not as a band as such. Just as a project and that’s how it started. The Purple Pill was born of an idea to create a concept album, something unique and different with no

THE ROUND Mountain Girls will launch their long-awaited fourth studio album this Saturday, March 25 at the Cudgen Leagues Club.

‘Meet you at the End’ is the Round Mountain Girls’ most elaborate and daring album which tells the tale of a man who had it all, lost it all, then goes on to find himself on the long road to recovery.

True to their past works, the album oozes the signature Round Mountain Girls’ sound.

Genre bending in every sense of the word, an array of instruments and styles play throughout the album, from frantic banjo and guitar riffs and snapping drums, to the sultry string lines and passionate vocal harmonies.

Recorded in and around Byron Bay area, primarily at the acclaimed Rocking Horse Studio with engineer and co-producer Paul Pilsneniks (The Waifs, Angus Stone, The Living End), the band divided their recording sessions into five parts taking a different approach to what they’ve done in the past.

The Weekly spoke to the Round Mountain Girls who said they have a strong connection to the Tweed after first getting together almost a decade ago in a shed on Round Mountain to play “a buncha old songs for a bit a fun”.

“Four of the founding members live in Tweed Shire. Two of those were born here so there’s a pretty strong affinity with the area,” they said.

“I think the name of the band suggests that we’re very proud of where we are based.”

A murder mystery not to be missed THE REAL Inspector Hound opened to applause last weekend at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre and there are only two weekends left to catch the hilarious murder mystery spoof.

The play starts with feuding theatre critics Moon and Birdboot who come to review a new Agatha Christie-like whodunit and become implicated in the lethal atrocities of a suspected escaped madman. Drawn into the ludicrous plot, they reluctantly become part of the conflict on stage. The critics become players, and the players critics.

The murder mystery, the play-within-a-play, is set at Muldoon Manor, a typical stage for the detective genre. A stately old house perched on the high cliffs amongst desolate marshes, the perfect setting for nefarious goings-on.

The two theatre critics, a cynical and pretentious secondstring Moon and Birdboot, a pompous, philandering tabloid hack who uses his column to ingratiate himself with attractive actresses, are ripe for a fall. This is one play they will not easily forget. Whodunit? You’ll have to come along to witness this uproarious parody for yourself.

The Real Inspector Hound is one of Tom Stoppard’s most-performed plays, with an intriguing plot that blurs the boundaries between actor, audience and critic. It is an example of Theatre of the Absurd, a style of writing that highlights the meaningless of human existence.

The play is a side-splitting spoof on plays such as Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, poking fun at actors, critics and the constabulary alike. What starts as a preposterous thriller, ends as a real-life exposé. The Real Inspector Hound is sheer entertainment as a comedy that combines intellectual depth and dazzling wordplay.

Tom Stoppard is considered England’s greatest living playwrights and screenwriters. He was awarded a Tony for his play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead in 1968.

Stoppard received an Oscar for his contribution to the film Shakespeare in Love and also wrote screenplays for films like Empire Of The Sun. He was later knighted for his services to the performing arts.

Director Julie West is at the helm of her seventh production for Murwillumbah Theatre Company. Her earlier successes include ‘Allo ‘Allo, Vicar of Dibley, Up Pompeii and last year’s tour de force ‘The Foreigner’.

The Real Inspector Hound will be staged at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre on March 24, 25, 26, 31 and April 1. Night-time shows start at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm.

Seating will be cabaret style and patrons are invited to bring their own food and drinks.

For further information and tickets, go to murwillumbahtheatrecompany.com or purchase from Electronics Murwillumbah in Main Street, Murwillumbah (cash only) or at the door. For enquiries, please phone Lesley on 6672 6753.

Council seeking market operators COUNCIL IS seeking expressions of interest from any person or group interested in operating any of the Tweed’s seven community markets for a period of three years from July, 1 2017.

An information session for existing and interested operators will be held at the Council’s Murwillumbah Civic Centre from 10.30-11.30am on Monday, April 3. This session will explain the new guidelines and what Council is looking for as part of the Markets Policy and Expressions of Interest evaluation process.

Mayor of Tweed, Councillor Katie Milne said markets are important community and business hubs for the Tweed.

“Our new market guidelines encourage our market operators to provide even more opportunities for cultural and community experiences, and to become showcases for sustainable practices to further enhance their reputational appeal,” she said.

“Our markets are much loved community and tourism assets that greatly assist our local micro-businesses. With enhanced support for arts, entertainment and sustainable practices we feel that the markets will become even more popular.

“Council would love to see markets include a strong focus on live entertainers and buskers, spaces for the community to relax and mingle, and even more opportunities for local goods, services, arts, crafts, organic products, and sustainability.

“Council also has on exhibition amendments to its Market Policy which should be considered by interested parties in their EOI submissions.”

Interested parties can make a submission for one or more of the existing markets at Pottsville, Kingscliff (day and night), and Recreation Street, Tweed Heads; and new markets at Jack Evans Boat Harbour, Knox Park Murwillumbah, and Salt Park. Existing operators are encouraged to apply.

Expressions of interest close on Tuesday 18 April and all enquiries may be directed to Council’s Environmental Health Section via (02) 6670 2400 or TSC@tweed.nsw.gov.au.

Change of venue for NRSO performance

An institution of good time jazz

Warren had a drum kit. Since then Warren’s always loved Satchmo’s music and takes great pleasure in rendering a few songs in his best gravel voice style.

Terry and Bob are both great singers and instrumentalists. They’ll even let rip a three part harmony with Warren on a song or two.

Terry’s bringing his baritone banjo which is the older sibling of the far more common tenor. He’s been playing it since the 1960s in the Melbourne jazz scene. Pietro’s been a jazz man since his first band had a residency at the Sydney Jazz Club in the 70s. He’ll play some Bechet and Goodman style clarinet along with his modern keyboard playing and composing.

Dave has been playing with the infamous jazz and Gypsy band Waiting For Guiness for over a decade and has made quite a mark on the Lismore scene in the last few years too.

He’s joined by Pietro Fine on clarinet, soprano sax, melodica and piano, Terry Villis on guitar and banjo, Bob Dooley on double bass. along with newest member Dave Stephenson on trumpet and trombone.

They play the repertoire the old Australian jazz bands covered, popular show songs and jazz classics, from Buddy Bolden’s Blues of the 1920s to Mercy, Mercy, Mercy from the 60s.

When Warren was a 10-year-old he met and actually played with Louis Armstrong.

When he was on tour in Australia, the Byrnes family invited Louis back to their place for dinner. Of course the inevitable jam happened when Louis found out

34 NRL Tipping Competition Thursday March 23 - 2017

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Not a good time to be a NRL coach WELL WE are three rounds in and the first coach is gone.

Not much job security as an NRL coach. No real surprises that Jason Taylor got the punt but I thought they may have given him a few more games.

Interesting the idea of ‘player power’ in the big four – Tedesco, Moses, Brooks and Woods claiming to be refusing to sign until they know who the coach is. All four are managed by Isaac Moses (Mitch’s uncle) and are not overly fussed on Taylor as a coach.

You can read between the lines and work out they have said if he’s coach we are out as they are sought after commodities – not sure why Brooks and Moses are but they are.

I would imagine by the time you read this Ivan Cleary would have been

appointed coach.

He is a hard task master and is exactly what the Tigers need considering someone like Craig Bellamy has purple blood pumping through his veins. I do think the board needs to be looked at.

The fact the chair did not know who Laurie Daley was should send alarm bells ringing. Benny Elias was very vocal on NRL 360 Monday about this and the joint venture. I guess only time will tell, but they do need to improve – I dead set reckon they rolled over against the Raiders and threw Taylor under the bus.

The Raiders surged back into form and showed why they might be a threat, but I do have my doubts on their opposition. Melbourne just seem to find a way to win, they have such a

Footy Tipping Gurus POINTS LADDER

good culture in that joint. The upset of the round was the Eagles towelling the Cowboys. Maybe two Golden Point games got the better of them but the Eagles were impressive.

The old touch judges have been copping a pizzling this week after the Roosters win and probably rightly so.

Unfortunately they are human and make mistakes but the NRL is big business – costly loss for Penrith. The weather wreaked havoc on some trials on the weekend but the 9’s tournament at Colts for 13’s to 16’s is all set to go this Saturday with some quality footy on display.

The NRRRL competition kicks off next week with the Mighty Mustangs hosting Casino at Stan Sercombe Oval on Sunday.

last week’s crossword solutions

THE ANNUAL Pirtek competition last Sunday had a good local turnout. Great to see people coming in to get bait, even up to Midday on Sunday, and giving it a go. The Marsden’s are hopeful that their Flathead is a winner and a few others will be watching for the results.

Hopefully a winner from Tweed Tackle & Marine.

The rain and cooler temperatures have made for good catches of Bream in the river. Mangrove Jacks have been plentiful around the Ivory and Boyd’s Bay bridge. Soft plastics and vibes are working well. Not much beach fishing over the past week with the swell but the odd gutter has thrown up Whiting and Dart off the southern beaches with some good sized Whiting – around 0.5kg – being caught in the river.

Mackerel have been sighted in big numbers around Palmy reef. Locals are kitting up to get their share as they pass. The Blackrock area has also produced good Mackerel. Wahoo and a few Yellowfin are being caught around Nine Mile and Fido’s.

Featured Business

Hi there, from Andrea & Michael Fletcher. We are the licensees for the Northern Rivers region for EziCleen Glass Restoration and Surface Protection. We are a family business based on the Tweed Coast and have lived in the area for the past 6 years.

Our children have grown up in the area attending Bogangar Public School with our oldest now at Kingscliff High School.

Our son has played for the Tweed Coast Tigers AFL team for the past 5 years and our daughter has joined him there for the past 2 seasons. Our family has loved being part of this tight knit community in our very own piece of paradise.

After moving from a small community in Tasmania, Pottsville seemed like a natural choice with a similar values and community spirit. After 30 years in Emergency Services, Michael was ready for a change and with Andrea being a stayat-home Mum, we were looking for a business that could fit into our lifestyle and also offer a fantastic product with exceptional customer service for our wider community.

EziCleens’s Advanced Surface Treatment can protect all your new or existing glass surfaces from stains and corrosion with its unique permanent protective coating. All whilst providing you with the security of a lifetime guarantee. It’s that good!

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

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

THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE SOLAR, ELECTRIC, GAS OR HEAT PUMPS FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in the Tweed & Gold Coast area FREE OF CHARGE. “REMEMBER YOU CAN’T LOSE, NO ANODE REPLACEMENT NO CHARGE” Comes with a 5 year warranty ~ Make your Hot Water System last for 30 years!

POLICE BEAT

Police warn against tradesperson scam

TWEED POLICE are warning residents

to be wary of people door-knocking and offering home repairs after a series of thefts across northern NSW.

Senior Constable and Crime Prevention Officer Bradley Foster said police have received several reports of this nature, particularly by elderly residents.

“We have received reports of a person’s posing as a tradesperson, knocking on doors and offering to repair faults,” he said.

“In some cases, the tradesperson has invited the homeowner out of the house to view the supposed faults on the property that need repairing, while another person has entered the house and stolen belongings.”

Senior Constable Foster said people who become a victim of theft or fraud from a tradesperson should report the matter to police.

“These people target the most vulnerable community members and need to be accountable for their actions,” he said.

Tweed Byron LAC police also recommend the following: • If you are home alone, never admit it to an unknown person at your house, or give away your movements to unknown people on the phone.

• Never let anyone into your home until you have confirmed their identity.

• Ask for identification of any tradesperson offering work.

• If suspicious of any person at your door, try to remember the description and registration number of any vehicles • If in doubt, always contact the police.

Police said they arrested his girlfriend on Tuesday, March 21 who tried to evade police by jumping into the Tweed River.

Mr Eade has three outstanding warrants for his arrest. The warrants are conviction and court bench warrants, from Cowra.

His vehicle was searched at the time when Police located drugs, knives and swords in the vehicle which were seized. Eade’s wallet was

Sailing Club sails on in rain, hail or shine THE TWEED Valley Sailing Club held

their final race of the summer series last Sunday, March 19 and despite cloudy skies the crews managed to avoid the rain down at Fingal Head.

The decision to sail came down to a vote with a resounding “lets go” from at least 24 of the 25 sailors who may have regretted their decision on the first leg with only about six knots and some nasty windless holes that half the fleet got caught in. However, the wind soon appeared from somewhere (everywhere at times) getting up to 12 knots and the fleet battled on. Not a drop of rain either - never trust the forecast!

Juniors instructor John Hayward (Laser) lead the pack for a while, even ahead of Sledder (Hobe 16), but Gary McCrohon won out for the Lasers in the end by only 13 seconds on John with Mauri Meyer 65 seconds after (60 of those seconds were for the quick dip he took on the first leg!).

The six Corsairs all had some good sailing in

their final Class champ - close finishes all round.

Congratulations to Monique Smith, Matt Andrews and Kate Yeomans on their win on Corsair “Swell Lady” with Bill Fenelon, Sienna Pullan and Deborah Flannery (Minnow) 38 seconds behind after overtaking Alison Blatcher, Marg Walgers & Karen Vidler (Melita III) at the final buoy rounding with a cleverly manoeuvred starboard call.

Kevin Boukre, Syd Brown, and new crew, and Marine Studies student, James Bartlett (Nimbus) seconds behind again and Russ Timbs /Hayden Bech /Bob Ormsby (Dominatrix) and Mark Reynolds/Brad Pullan /Craig Foley (Keenas) fighting it out for 5th and 6th positions.

Mike Mansted and Mark Storrier sailed the club’s new Tasar “Hippo” - kindly donated by Enzo Carrara, on her first sail for several years.

They went well until an unexpected gust filled them up with water - Mike will be bringing a bailer next time.

Wet weather washes out shield competitions

ZONE ONE’S Annual Schipp Cup and Shield and Compass Shield competitions between Clarence River, Northern Rivers and Tweed Byron Districts, scheduled to take place at Yamba on Sunday was, understandably, cancelled due to extreme wet weather conditions.

With this year’s calendar stretched to the limit, it appears this event will not be rescheduled to a later date. However, all is not lost! Three of our District lads, Terry Lee, Greg Barrack and Peter Duncan, who were included in the side to contest the Compass Shield - a competition for Over 60’s, have now been selected to join the Zone One contingent to contest the Black Paddle, a trial match against Zone 11, at Tuncurry 23-24 April. Following on from this, the Zone One side will then head off to Sylvania 16-18 May for the big Inter Zone Challenge.

T.B.D.B.A. District Pennant season is set to commence April 1 and be completed by May 13 (weather permitting).

Clubs around the district are currently conducting trials to aid their selectors structure teams to contest the Grade 1 with seven flags up for grabs.

With Easter fast approaching, Cabarita Beach Bowls Club has programmed two great Pairs tournaments, both offering hefty prize money mid-April. An Easter Week Men’s Medley Pairs, an all-day event, is on the cards for Wednesday, April 12 with Easter Saturday Mixed Pairs, formatted on three games nine ends, kicking off 12.30pm April 15. Nominations are now being accepted by Cabarita Beach Bowls Club for both comps, so get in early.

Bowls Australia has recently confirmed it’s renewed partnership with SBS with the extension of The Bowls Show for a second season. The show will return to air Sunday, May 14 in a new 3pm time slot and will run over a period of 20 weeks with a four week gap, mid series, for SBS’s broadcast of the Tour de France

Cudgen Leagues players out to impress Club pennant selectors

HOCKEY with Richard Phillip

WE NORMALLY play the first round as a joint venture with Gold Coast and Tweed but as Gold Coast have no playable fields as yet dew to the construction of their facility that is getting built for the Commonwealth games we cant even do a yearly draw until we know when they are ready to play.

As all first grade games are played on the artificial turf and Tweed have two of those and shortly Gold Coast will have as well but not as yet.

They are expecting to hopefully play in two weeks if weather is kind so their own competitions are totally up in the air.

Tweed have started to play a round against their own teams as they know it needed to start at the start of March to get all the games in between Tweed, Gold Coast and Lismore

MEN’S RESULTS

Sh ting Hoops WOMEN’S LEAGUE

THE FIRST week of semi finals were played on Monday night with two very tight games.

In the Major Semi, minor premier Young Guns earned themselves a week off and a place in the Grand Final with a very close 7 point win over Steelers, 34-27.

In the elimination Semi, KLAS Hornets kept their season alive in another close game, with a 29-27 win over Bandits These 2 sides played out a draw last week.

Next week will see the experienced Steelers play the newest team to Women’s League, KLAS Hornets, to determine who will make it to the Grand Final and play the very strong Young Guns side. I must congratulate Hornets. This side was literally thrown together at the beginning of the season, not one player knew the other. This is going to be a very good game. If you are free at 630pm Monday, come down and watch some quality basketball.

MEN’S LEAGUE

Regular season games continued Tuesday night. I game 1, the undefeated TVAC took on a very depleted GIO Icepacks side. They are called Icepacks for a reason! With 3 of the 5

The Men have completed their Super Nines competition and the winner is the Kingscliff Stingers.

Kingscliff Stingers 9 with a goal balance of 6 Casuarina Sharks 9 points and goal balance 5 Waratah Bobcats 6 Murwillumbah Vipers 6 Waratah Cougars 0 These points came after the games on Friday night when Kingscliff Stingers 1 defeated Murwillumbah Vipers 0 and Waratah Bobcats 1 defeated Casuarina Sharks 0.

In the double header Casuarina 3 defeated Waratah Cougars 0 and Kingscliff Stingers 5 defeated Waratah Cougars A new draw will have to be done for the Men and hopefully with the inclusion of the Gold Coast teams we will just have carrying injuries, a very one sided game was expected. But it wasn’t until the final quarter when Icepacks were reduced to 4 that TVAC stuck their nose in front to win 37-30 In game 2, the improving Rakhoons were far from disgraced against the very fast and skilful Rockets team. The final score of 59-23 was not a clear indication of the game.

However Rockets are going to be hard to beat this year.

AUSSIE HOOPS (5-10 years)

Week 6 of Aussie Hoops already! This week we were privileged to host Basketball NSW Participation Manager, Rick Bywater. Rick wanted to see how we run our Hoops program, and in his own words was ‘very impressed in what he saw from the kids and in particular Coach Aaron.’ One activity called ‘Sideline Basketball’ is not easy for a lot of kids this age, so was very surprised to see how well our Hoopers performed it. Well done to all our Monday Hoopers!

Aussie Hoops will continue in term 2. Details of how to register will be on our Facebook page, “Murwillumbah Basketball Association” in the coming weeks. We take a maximum of 20, so first in best dressed.

YOUTH LEAGUE (11-16 years)

Our new format appears to be working well.

Training and coaching is run from 4pm-5pm and is open to ALL players regardless of skill level. It is pleasing to see just about everyone has arrived for this session.

Proper basketball games are then played from 5pm-6pm.

to wait and see This is a very unusual start to the year but I suppose when you have an association getting a 10 million dollar government grant to get brand new facilities in readiness for the biggest sporting event to hit the coast it should be all worth it.

WOMEN’S RESULTS

In the women’s games over the weekend where the Tweed teams are playing a full round and as they have two more games to go before the end of this first round the timing should be very close to the start of the Gold Coast competition commencement .

Murwillumbah 1 defeated Kingscliff Sirens 0 Waratah Falcons 3 defeated Mullumbimby 0 Casuarina had the bye The Murwillumbah -Kingscliff game was a real cliff hanger. The defining moment that mostly likely turned the game was when Kingscliff star player Nikki Harrison had to be carried from the field with torn ligaments. This gave the Murwillumbah team the edge and with a reflex goal to Sammy Iwanuscha late in the second quarter proved the difference as their midfield lead by Cary Manning started to gain control. Kingscliff tried desperatky to get it back but Murwillumbah’s defence with w tireless effort from Melissa Johnston stood strong.

The other game saw reigning premiers just to quick for the hard working Mullum team and with goals Emily Hetherington 2 and Stacy Butters put the game out of Mullums Reach. Waratahs New signing Brook Sadler and high defence was stand out player for her team along wit Ebony Young and Emily Hetherington Again, everyone is welcome to join a team, which are as balanced as possible. For just $6 for 2 hours, this is a very inexpensive program for our Youth.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

On Tuesday, 28 May commencing at 6pm, Murwillumbah Basketball will hold its AGM at our court. We are looking for people to fill vital roles to share the workload currently carried by very few. It is definitely rewarding and with the right numbers on board, far from time consuming. In the past 12 months we have grown the Women’s League, started a Men’s League (in its 2nd season,) are in our 4th consecutive term of Aussie Hoops and built a very strong Youth League base. Our participation in this time has grown from approx.

30 to well over 150. If you add our Sporting Schools program, Coach Aaron has put through well over another 500 local kids that had not previously considered basketball.

Please come along and support local sport for both young and not so young.

SPORTING SCHOOLS UPDATE

The past 3 months has seen amazing interest in the fully funded Federal Government initiative. It is available to ALL infant and Primary Schools at no cost. I wish to thank the following schools who have put their faith in us and Basketball: Mt St Patricks Primary, Bilambil Public, Condong Public, Fingal Public and Lindisfarne Anglican School. Get YOUR school involved!

WICKET TO WICKET Seniors Season Wrap Up

THE 2016/2017 season has been one of the most successful from a Junior and Senior perspective. There have been a number of highlights which have been unprecedented over the past decade.

The Tweed Open side (pictured) won their inaugural State Country Championship title over Tamworth in the Clarence Valley during the Xmas New Year break. It was the Tweed’s first win after featuring in 5 finals campaigns in the last decade. In addition 8 players from the side played in the Northern Rivers Rock side that contested the final of the SCG Regional Big Bash Final late last year. They narrowly went down to the Orana Outlaws who hail from Dubbo, Cobar and Mudgee. It was certainly a highlight for all involved in playing at such an iconic venue.

In the Hooker Premier Cudgen are confirmed Minor Premiers and will be chasing their third consecutive title over the next fortnight. Meanwhile in Coastal League Cudgen will be taking on Alstonville in the final this Saturday after knocking out minor premiers Terranora a fortnight ago.

In the grand final of the Tweed Valley Competition, Cudgen 9/238 had a hard fought win over the Murwillumbah Cubs 232 at Walter Peate Oval. The Hornets were well served by

Rob McAndrew 53no, John Cassidy 40, Matt Searle 36 and Jason Ellem 2/24. For the Cubs Paul Jones 66, Matt Daley 56no and all-rounder Viv Rawat 35 and 2/26 gave their side every opportunity for a win in a tight game.

Juniors Season Wrap Up

Junior participation rates have been very encouraging among Murwillumbah, Cudgen and Pottsville with scope for Terranora to relaunch junior sides next season.

The Tweed Valley T20 Blast was well supported by all clubs during the 12 week program which caters for 7 to 11 year kids. Fielding 6 sides in the 15 team Under 12 Tweed Ballina competition, 5 of the Tweed sides finished in the top eight which bodes well for the future.

Cudgen Stingers progressed to this weekend’s final after defeating the Murwillumbah Panthers side. In the Under 14’s Cudgen and Pottsville made the semi-finals, with Cudgen travelling to Ballina to take on Tintenbar East Ballina in the final this Saturday. Tom Weaver played an important role for the Hornets making 31 and taking 2/9 in a hard-fought low scoring semi-final against Lennox Head.

In the Under 16’s Murwillumbah were the best performed Tweed side finishing in 5th spot.

A QUIKSILVER of fairy tales “O-Man” Comeback of the Year

“Can’t Script This” is the WSL slogan, but really?

Almost like someone did script the ending of the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro’s.

The biggest fairy-tale was the return of Owen Wright.

Injured during a flogging at Pipeline while caught inside, his injury was described as being similar to “Shaken Baby Syndrome” with most reports I heard 12 months ago saying it was unsure if Owen would even surf again let alone compete at the highest level. A good mate of mine from Byron was telling me that less than six months ago, the “O-Man” was at Clarkes Beach at Byron on a foamy not able to stand up. What a recovery! The love of a good woman, the birth of their first son, and “Dad Power”got Owen back on the game. There were tears everywhere, and I would not be surprised if Wright will be looking for a World Title like his sister, as he was knocking on the door just before his injury. He charged in the big stuff, and it is still to be seen how he goes in the really solid stuff… I reckon he will, and maybe he is now at short odds to win the World Title… As much love as there is for the “O-Man”, I am sure Mick, Parko, Matty Wilko and the rest of the tour won’t be handing anything to him for free.

The Queen of Snapper Gets Back on Her Throne

Even though everyone was in agreement that Stephanie Gilmore is the best female surfer in the World, it had been 2014 since she had won a tour event.

The Queen was back and her subjects were most pleased to see her ripping into Snapper as no woman has done before. Her perfect 10 point ride against Carissa Moore was described by more than one commentator as the best ridden wave in competition history by a woman, and they were not lying. If Gilmore keeps up this sort of form she will have the 7th world title she deserves, and Layne Beachley has been waiting for her to match. Not if but when as Layne would say.

To be honest, Stephanie has the best style of any woman on tour, and only ones close to matching her for style are Courtney Conolouge and Lakey Petersen. The only thing Steph is missing is that killer instinct, she didn’t really have that until the final, in her other heats she did give her opponents a chance. Once she gets that bit of mongrel, the Kingscliff Supergirl will be unbeatable.

And the Winner is- Micro!!

Once again the big winner at the Quiksilver Pro was Glenn “Micro” Hall, coaching first and second places’ at the

From a representative perspective, the Tweed entered representative sides in the Under 11’s, 13’s and 15’s NSW Far North Coast Interdistrict Competition. With a wet weekend last Sunday the 11’s and 13’s finished undefeated in their respective round robin competitions which reinforces the great development work undertaken by all clubs around the Tweed Valley.

Pre-Season Initiatives Underway at Murwillumbah

From a Murwillumbah perspective preparations are being made to field a Hooker League side next season, with expressions of interest for a head coach closing on Friday 31 March.

The club will be undertaking a staged upgrade of their practice net facility during the off season which will be underpinned from confirmed state government financial funding of $10,000 which will be complimented by upcoming fund raising activities by the club. Details on this and other activities can be found on the Murwillumbah Cricket Club website at http://murwillumbahcc.nsw.cricket.com.au/ This is my final column for the season, best of luck to all remaining Tweed Valley teams playing finals. I am looking forward to having a break over the winter months.

Tapped in to the waves with Terry ‘Tappa’ Teece Quiksilver Pro, and Tyler Wright getting to the quarter finals, it was another big pay day for Micro’s coaching academy…. Now he had to advise both surfers in the final.

What did he say? Well to Owen he told him just to keep doing what he had been doing and all should fall into place – and it did… For Matty Wilkinson? This I though was a gem – He said not to let the emotion with Owen to get into this. He said he didn’t want Wilko coming into Portugal or Pipeline not in contention for a World Title because he took it easy on his mate on the Gold Coast – The World Title starts here… Pretty good. No wonder he is on the big bucks….
