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 6Â˘ 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.

Shock death of mother and her two children

Her daughter Chloe Kabealo, 9, was able to escape and raise the alarm with residents at a nearby property who called emergency services to Dulguigan Road around 1.40pm. Bystanders jumped into the Tweed River and attempted to free the occupants from the vehicle but were unsuccessful in their attempts. Boats using sonar equipment located the vehicle about five metres from the northern river bank around 3.25pm on Monday, April 3. It unknown how the vehicle crashed into the Tweed River with a crime scene established by Police and an investigation is underway. Tweed Police Superintendent Wayne Starling said Ms King died trying to save her children. “I can tell you the mother was trying to get one of the children out of the car when she passed away,” he said.

“I’ve got no doubt that woman is a hero and she would be alive today if she wasn’t trying to save her children.” Several locals expressed outrage at the media coverage of the event, who they say incorrectly reported that Dulguigan Road was closed at the time of the incident. NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Jeff Loy had previously said in a statement to the media that the road had been closed at the time of the crash. Supt Starling said the road was closed when police arrived but it appeared barricades may have been moved before the crash. The Weekly has since received several comments of condolences to the young girl describing the deaths as “heartbreaking”. “Very sad I was there and I’m pissed the news reports they’re recovering the deceased yet told me in my partner they can’t and won’t do the recovery until tomorrow,” Danielle Scott said. “Makes me sick that they’re still there and report otherwise on such a tragic event. Rest in peace – poor family and my heart goes out to the precious little girl who got out safely.” Vanessa Biggs said “such a tragedy. Much love to the little girl who survived. Her life forever changed.” Keely Tassell said “how did this happen? This is terrible. My prayers for this little girl.” Martha Baartz said” his is shockingly sad. I just want to wrap my arms around that little girl.” Tony Mcdonald said “this is such a tragedy my heart goes out to the family. As if Tweed hasn’t had a bad enough week. And now this very sad indeed.” NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Jeff Loy said the deaths are a major tragedy for the Tweed community. “That is a tragic event, and we’re concerned it is a tragic event that will unfold over the evening and we understand that it is going to have a major impact on the family and the Tweed community,” Assistant Commissioner Loy said. Meanwhile a GoFundMe page has been set up to help Stephanie’s husband Matt Kabealo, a chef from the Kingscliff Bowling Club The Club Manager’s Association of Australia (CMAA) is now urging the wider club industry family to help Matt and his family in their time of need. “The funds raised through your kind donations will help Matt cope financially and emotionally with this devastating event in the short term and help him and his surviving daughter rebuild their lives,” the GoFundMe page reads. Kingscliff Bowling Club and the CMAA stand behind Matt and his family and are appreciative of any donations you can give. The fund has reached $43,096 as of 12noon Wednesday, April 5.

THE SHOCKING and tragic death of three people who were trapped in their car as it sank into the swollen Tweed River at Tumbulgum on Monday, April 3, has rocked the community during an already sensitive time. The three occupants were Stephanie King, 43, of Bilambil, her seven-year-old son Jacob Kabealo and her 11-year-old daughter Ella-Jane Kabealo (pictured below).

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Firstly, to say that my thoughts go out to those who have been majorly impacted by this catastrophic event and I hope that the community support being given will be of some comfort. Just imagine how the extra damage to the Shire’s roads that 43 tonne semi-trailers would do following the catastrophic inundations for such large areas of the Shire. Tweed Shire Council has a huge job on its hands in terms of road and bridge repair, infrastructure including water management restoration, clean up, etc. It has the huge job of repairing its own fleet of equipment so this event is a pure example of why we would not on any account increase the volume of large vehicles on our rural roads. The water mining DA submitted for 350 Rowlands Creek Rd, Uki and the proposed one at Dungay, and the existing one at Urliup should never happen in our Shire with its rural, and often steep and winding, roads not suited to semi-trailers in any way, shape of form. Rowlands Creek Rd was well under water for about 15 hours which will have made it more susceptible to breaking up and Kyogle Road to Murwillumbah sustained a lot of damage by the edges being undercut in some places. Need I say more. Of course there are other important reasons why approval for this Uki DA (16/0936) should not be given in terms of lack of real knowledge of the effects of water extraction volumes and the monitoring of quantities, the environmental issue of millions of plastic bottles containing the water, with the profit going to a few people at the cost of rate rises to ratepayers to pay for road repair, extra work for TSC, danger on the unsuitable roads and the ‘jobs’ cry cannot be made for the State as the water is bottled in QLD. I am confident the Councillors will see that this DA is not going to

I was on the way to work today April 3, at 8.45am and a water truck barged his way through on the wrong side of the road my side in front of my car and the barrier “road closed / residents only”! It’s disgusting the road was badly damaged and as soon as council workers patched road up the water trucks were going on the road Saturday and all Sunday whilst other residents of our road were still cut off from land slides, all the fences are still down and live stock can get on the road, the M1 was still closed and people/business lost everything in Murwillumbah and surrounds and are still stuck in the floods but the disgraceful water mining is first priority with other taxpayers money from the Tweed Shire no dignity is all I can say to everyone who supports that. Jasmin Dorrington, Urliup

Cr Cooper has stirred Kingscliff to the core

Cr Cooper has manipulated planning processes. He’s removed residents’ right to wider Kingscliff Locality Plan choices by getting fellow-councilors to support his personal Locality Plan option based on flawed petitioning. In a hissy fit he stirred unrest with a clipboard petition backed up with several versions of emotion-rousing misinformation designed to make residents afraid of non-existent highrise threats. In claiming 97 per cent opposition to over “three-storey” construction, he’s disregarded findings from the non-pressuring Locality Plan shopfront exhibition. These indicate that residents are interested in a variety of scenarios. Exhibition attendees registered: • 90 per cent support, 19 per cent against and 1 per cent undecided regarding lowering Marine Parade from 13.6 to 11.0 metres. • 49 per cent support, 47 per cent against and 3 per cent undecided regarding increasing building height from 13.6m to 16.6 m along western side of Pearl St and part of Turnock St. • 47 per cent support, 47 per cent against and 2 per cent undecided regarding opportunities for shop top housing (up to 16.6m ) within walkable proximity of the town centre. • 44 per cent support, 54 per cent against and 2 per cent undecided regarding 20m in the Business and Knowledge Precinct. Barbara Fitzgibbon, Kingscliff

A thank you from Cr Cooper

I would like to remind all those people who supported Kingscliff’s three storey height limit that I needed three other councillors to vote for this building control. I wish to acknowledge their support. We all owe a vote of thanks to the Greens Mayor Katie Milne, independent Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry and Country Labor’s Reece Byrnes. They with their supporting vote showed that they recognised Kingscliff’s history, acknowledged the 14,000 people who have signed the petition and supported the continuing success of Kingscliff as a place to live and to visit. Hopefully the era of Council responding to the costly thought bubbles of unrepresentative pressure groups is over. If Kingscliff ever needs changing, this should only occur after widespread community consultation at the earliest possible stage. The community is made up of people with life-experience, imagination and common sense. They have much to offer Council in guiding the Tweed towards a sustainable future. It is my opinion that the costly mistakes made trying to change Kingscliff would never have occurred if this type of consultation had been in place. Cr Ron Cooper, Kingscliff

Failure of emergency communication

Amongst the devastation and heartbreak of the recent floods one very important issue arose, especially for the residents of Nunderi and I guess for others living in mobile black spot areas. Many residents were without any communication whatsoever via mobile phones or services delivered by NBN from early Thursday evening. All communications from SES to evacuate or alerts about the threat to life and property were not received or left in inaccessible message banks. To have to stand knee deep in floodwaters in the middle of Garden Avenue, Nunderi for mobile reception, one bar, is a complete joke. NBN services, internet and phone, are still out as of the following Tuesday of the flood event. Service providers, Telstra, Optus, iInet etc upon being contacted this week fob you off to complain to the NBN. They are not accountable. Seems unusual as the bills I pay and the contracts I am supposed to honour are to Telstra and iInet? Will I be expected to pay for services which are not delivered in my monthly invoice? I was promised that the mobile phone reception would be solved more that twelve months ago hence a contract on a

useless device. Increasing emphasis on mobile use is for banking, security codes, business purchases, confirmation of deals beside calls to clients, friends, hospitals, doctors..the list goes on. NBN appears to be a con. It is inadequate to service the needs of the individual or business where we live. All the hoopla about purchasing your new mobiles and intenet hardware is fine until the service sneezes. Put your political representatives, the Communication Ombudsman on notice this is not acceptable. The worst case scenario is someone or a family dying or being badly injured whether it be flood, fire, a car accident, heart attack, stroke, etc. Time for a class action before any needless fatalities occur. Robert Learmonth, Nunderi

Solution to homelessness

I think council should buy the lot where the old aquatic club is on Dry Dock Road and get the homeless to help fix it up, then set up a proper homeless centre there. Men’s clubs and other interested parties could help as well. Robyn Foldi, Tweed

A Shipping Container would make all the difference

What a great idea that M u r w i l l u m b a h C o m mu n i t y Garden is working at getting up and running with a band of enthusiastic volunteers. I am contributing a wheelbarrow and some tools to this worthy cause and was concerned to hear that they’d had a garden shed onsite that was stolen. They had paid for the shed and now have nothing to securely store tools in! How sad is this. I was thinking that they would benefit from a used shipping container on-site to store their equipment in and just wondered if there may be anyone out there who might be open to helping them get something like this? Let us be a supportive community, not a community that has to be constantly on guard and fearful of theft. Gayle Russell, Nunderi

Flood levee inches from further disaster

THE PHOTO below shows the Murwillumbah CBD levee wall holding back the Tweed River (6.2 metres) at 4.30am on Friday, March 31, sparing the CBD but increasing the amount of floodwaters to South Murwillumbah. Ten centimetres was all that remained between the levee wall spilling over and dramatically changing the course of one of the worst flood disasters in Tweed history. Earlier predictions had the Tweed River peaking at 6.4 metres, which would have breached the levee wall (6.3 metres) and residents of the Murwillumbah CBD were instructed to evacuate by the SES. The flood level broke the previous record of 6.07 metres set during the 1954 floods.

The CBD was inundated with flash flooding affecting businesses on Wharf Street, however this water was due to vast amounts of rainfall backing up stormwater drains. South Murwillumbah experienced its most extensive flooding in history with numerous businesses and homes affected, racking up millions of dollars in damage. Other low lying areas north of the river also experienced significant flooding including around Knox Park, Riverview Street and William Street. For the first time floodwater topped over the Dorothy/ William Street levee causing floodwaters to enter homes near the Murwillumbah Leagues Club. The common theme amongst residents was that the flood levels were unprecedented and they did not see it coming. See more on pages 20-23.

Kenarie Jersey Stud owner Pat McDonald devastated

MURWILLUMBAH DAIRY farmer and Kenarie Jersey Stud owner Pat McDonald, 83, says his stud sale will go ahead in May 26 despite the loss of almost 17 young heifers to floodwater. But the loss is only a fraction of the McDonald’s total cattle which was 250 prior to the floods. Speaking with The Weekly, Pat (pictured belo) said he’d experienced the 1954, 1974 and 2008 floods, but he had never seen a flood like this one. “We had about 30 head washed away as the water came up so quickly,” he said. “We’ve since found about 13 of those and we think we’ve lost a total of 17, although some of those could still be wandering around and could be recovered.” Pat said several Jerseys are now suffering from minor foot root complications and stone bruises, of which they are expected to make a full recovery. “I’ve been through floods all my life, but never had any cattle washed away,” he said. “It was the biggest flood I’ve ever experienced and it came up so fast.” Milk production has reduced significantly as the stud farm starts to recover after the McDonalds' milking shed and pasture paddocks were inundated. “Our equipment was all underwater. We got them working temporarily, but we will need to replace most of it as it’s now likely to fail,” Pat said. Pat wanted to also highlight that a dependence on the internet for information about weather and floods was doing little to help the farming community, those disconnected and elderly residents. “We need more information delivered directly to farmers about river heights and the speed of the water – it came up so quick this time,” he said. “I don’t have time to sit down and browse the internet to find out weather information – we need a better communications system that’s not centred around the internet.”

with Robert Hawken

Expect a tough harvest this season THE DEVASTATING flood of March 31, was probably the worst flood the Tweed has experienced. The volume and velocity of the water has caused major damages to homes, businesses and public infrastructure. In most localities, the water height exceeded all historic levels. Many people who thought they were safe from inundation were shocked by what they have experienced. Fatalities have occurred because of this extreme weather event, here in Tweed Shire, and in coastal Queensland. Our deepest sympathies are extended to the families who have lost loved ones. The Tweed’s rural community has sustained major loss of livestock, crops and infrastructure, and damage from erosion caused by the fast-flowing water. The floodwater contained very high levels of silt which has made clean up extremely difficult. We sympathise with those who are severely affected. As of Tuesday, April 4, most cane land remains inundated and any further rainfall will hamper the drainage system’s ability to return water to normal levels. Sugar cane stresses severely after prolonged inundation and the flood is likely to have a negative impact on tonnage in the coming harvest season. Harvest will be a nightmare due to debris found among the cane fields. There’s also tyres, cars, lounges and other items spread throughout the cane fields, which means a slow harvest process as we have to remove those items to avoid damage to the machinery. The district’s soybean crop, which was the best I have seen for many years, is probably a total loss.

Condong Mill also sustained unprecedented flooding and damage is still being assessed. Events such as this highlight the need for the relevant authorities to accurately predict rainfall patters and constantly monitor river heights and the likely flooding affects so that the information can be conveyed to the community in a timely manner, allowing everyone the opportunity to take appropriate action. The flood was a very extreme weather event but we need to understand that extreme weather is more common that people realise and it is very possible that the predictions of the scientific community concerning climate change and the increased severity and frequency of droughts, floods and heat waves in the future, are real. I also believe we need to look closely at our degraded river system and question its efficacy in the drainage of water from the flood plain. The Tweed River today bears little resemblance to the deeper, free flowing river of 100 years ago. Siltation of the riverbed, eroding banks and encroaching vegetation and debris impede the river’s capacity to expel water into the ocean. All NSW cane growers and many other people’s livelihoods depend on efficient, well designed and properly maintained drainage systems and waterways. We cannot be complacent about this important area which affects the whole community. We appreciate the visit of our Prime Minister and NSW Premier and Deputy Premier on Monday this week and are encouraged by their words of support, but actions will speak louder than words. Let us be patient support one another through this very difficult time.

“Hospital staff saved my life,” says local dad Osteopaths INCREDIBLE STORIES of assistance and care are emerging across the Tweed this week with inspiring displays of compassion taking place and a drive to help others get back on their feet. Some have had near misses with their health as the floodwaters started to cut regions off on Thursday, March 30, including Bradley Laurie who came down with incredible pain in his stomach while at his Farrants Hill family home. The family rushed Bradley to the Murwillumbah Hospital where the staff quickly realised he was in danger of having a burst appendix. The hospital expedited a helicopter for Bradley to The Tweed Hospital after the road had been cut off, where he underwent surgery and was eventually stabilised. Had the hospital staff waited much longer it could have meant the risk of severe infection or possible death.

Bradley returned with his wife Elisa and three daughters Brienna, Amelie and Jaleah to the Murwillumbah Hospital on Monday, April 3, with flowers. “I wanted to come back and show my gratitude to the hospital staff for such an amazing job they did under extreme circumstances,” he said. “It was a close call for me and the staffs’ quick decision, I’m certain, saved my life.” Bradley also brought the hospital staff some Tim Tams, which the staff have shared with patients during the floods. “We wanted to give them a small treat with some flowers to show how appreciative we were,” he said.

Volunteer army helps communities recover during clean up HUNDREDS OF big-hearted volunteers have rallied to support those Tweed residents impacted by flooding with several businesses offering amazing gestures of help and financial assistance. Among them was Bedzzz Tweed Heads who donated 24 brand new mattresses to South Murwillumbah residents. Bedzzz Tweed Heads owner Jamie Cramp used his business truck to bring down a full load of mattresses, which were distributed to families from the Murwillumbah Railway Station. “It’s just a small way to give those in a desperate situation a much-needed boost,” he told The Weekly. Other residents decided to take on the task of helping feed and collect clothing and bedding to be distributed to those in need. Collection drive organisers Lani Burns and Sandi Williams set up outside Smile Street on Tweed Valley

Way in conjunction with Tweed Valley Way IGA. “We can’t really give numbers but we have had literally 100s of volunteers here cooking for us, bringing donations of food, grocery items, money and clothes,” Mrs Burns said. Smile Street dentist Murwillumbah had cancelled all appointments this week and opened their doors for a free sausage sizzle during the mammoth relief centre. Smile Street owner Ramesh Sivabalan also donated $1,000 cash to the cause. First National Murwillumbah have also opened their storage room (upstairs) for use as a clothing and bedding centre for all donations. “Coles & IGA have been a massive support supplying $1,000s of dollars’ worth of supplies,” Mrs Burns said. “Meat Merchants Casuarina (Craig Dudgeon), Sunnyside Meats Murwillumbah and Burringbar Butcher have all supplied more

than 100kg of sausages and meat (combined). “So many amazing people in the community are cooking hot meals, baking cakes, bread and more.” Tweed Fruit exchange have donated fruit and vegetables, Premier Chicken Murwillumbah have donated barbeque chooks, amazing volunteers have been delivering food and drinks to all businesses and streets affected. Donations have also come from far and wide. “What started out as a barbeque turned into an amazing charity for our beautiful town,” Mrs Burns said. Among the organisers (pictured) was Lani Burns, Sandi Williams, Kristy Cambell, Bae Johnson, Jodie Minett, Kaylee Clarke and the staff from the staff at Smile Street Dentist. Anyone wanting to donate this week can visit Smile Street on Tweed Valley Way, First National Murwillumbah or phone The Weekly on (02) 6672 4443.

TWEED SHIRE Council’s Resource Recovery Centre at Stotts Creek reopened to the public on Tuesday, April 4, to tip their flood-damaged domestic waste for free whilst Council are also conducting a kerbside clean-up in flood affected areas. Council said in a media statement that what’s left of its trucks will be out in the community loading the rubbish put on the kerbside by residents into trucks to take to the tip. Rubbish truck reinforcements arrived from Melbourne on Wednesday and by the end of the week there will be six more rear-loaders on the ground. Paints, oils and batteries etc should not be dumped with domestic waste or general flood debris, nor put in any of the skips that have been placed in hard-hit areas for residents to fill. Instead, they should be set aside away from domestic waste and debris. Residents can drop these hazardous materials at the tip for free. If you have asbestos, this needs to be

handled carefully. A licenced asbestos removalist should be contacted for large demolition or removal works of more than 10 square metres, which would equate to an average-sized bathroom. However if you have small quantities of asbestos or are unsure of whether the material is hazardous, please: • Stack any materials you are concerned about in neat piles away from other household waste. • Cover if possible (it needs to be wrapped in black builder’s plastic, available from hardware stores). • Do not break up the material as that will release the toxic fibres. Keep it as big as possible and keep it damp. Council has a small number of Asbestos Kits available for residents. If you would like a kit or more information on hazardous materials, contact the Environmental Health Section at Council on (02) 6670 2400. An officer will return your call and arrange to inspect the materials as soon as possible to provide you with advice.

ruined by the flood last week. Hundreds of stored items were lost and the property was inundated with debris. This leaves a considerable financial gap in the charity’s revenue that is needed to run the Northern Rivers community hospice – Wedgetail Retreat. The charity is calling for urgent help from the NSW Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, who recently announced $2 million in funding for a Sydney-based hospice for young adults. “We know that we are not alone and are thinking of everyone in the community affected by the floods,” Charity President Meredith Dennis said. “Apart from fundraising donations, revenue from both our Murwillumbah Op Shops are vital to help us to keep the Wedgetail Retreat community hospice operational. “Without the funds from the Tweed Valley Way shop, we are left with a huge gap in our finances.” “We are asking the Premier to also help regional NSW and to donate $500,000 to the State’s only adults’ community hospice. Our free and donation-based home and hospice services help approximately 500

Ms Dennis recently wrote to NSW Health Minister, Mr Brad Hazzard about funding but has not yet received a reply. Donations can be made for the hospice at www.wedgetailretreat.com.au.

If your dog or cat has been lost during the floods, please contact the pound on (02) 6676 6060 to enquire as to whether it has been taken in.

Unplug Your Kids This Easter And Get Back To Basics

Crack open Easter

THIS EASTER holidays are the perfect opportunity to take the time to ‘unplug’ your kids from their devices and re-connect as a family, says says child psychologist, Ms Nicole Pierotti. “Technology has irreversibly altered childhood as we know it. It has changed the way children think, play, communicate and learn. In clinics, in homes, in schools around the world, parents, teachers and children are learning to live with the consequences,” says child psychologist, Ms Nicole Pierotti. The problem she says, is not technology itself, which has many benefits, including an educational role, but its overuse. Nicole says this is likely to have far reaching effects on our children as they grow. “I have no doubt that the research of the future will show us that children have learnt through technology but at a price. There are definite changes to our children’s brain structure, their attention span, and physically in their ability to move, draw, write and read. Kids become impulsive, moody and can’t pay attention.” Australia’s Physical Activity Recommendations suggest that children aged 5-18 accumulate no more than two hours of screen time per day and children under the age of two do not spend any time viewing TV or other electronic media. Nicole says school holidays are the perfect opportunity to

of his Son, Jesus. On Easter Sunday we’ll be be celebrating the hope of life beyond death that Jesus gives us through his resurrection.

CHRISTIANS like most people, enjoy the holiday and family aspects of Easter, but at the heart of this special time is the death and resurrection of a real man. There is no doubt that history records both the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as genuine events and it is these two facts which are central to the Christian faith. At the very beginning of the appearances of this resurrected Christ, people found it hard to believe in such a supernatural activity but when they encountered Him personally everything changed. While it is perfectly normal to struggle to understand this world changing fact, still today people’s lives are changed forever when they meet the resurrected Jesus. The difference maker is to believe in Him and this goes way further than accepting the facts, it means

accepting Him as God, and accepting His death was for us – you and me. The Bible teaches that Jesus is the Son of God and in His resurrection overcame death. To believe in Jesus means we get to know Him, and that means life – eternal life. I love E a s t e r because it is about God’s Son, Jesus Christ whom I have known personally for 43 years.

press ‘re-set’, take some time some time away from technology and get back to basics with your kids. “Term time can often be hectic with school dropoffs, play-dates, sports and activities driving a busy schedule with little time to draw breath. The school holidays, even if it’s just the Easter long weekend, can give the chance to enjoy a change of pace and connect with our kids.” Here are Nicole’s top tips to connect with your kids this school holidays: 1. Unplug – unplug or put time limits on screen time and include all devices to encourage other activities to help you connect as a family. 2. Back to Basics - craft activities can be very therapeutic for children. Have pens and pencils on hand for creative writing, drawing and colouring-in. Easter is a great time for craft for young children. Make an Easter Bonnet, basket or decorate hardboiled eggs. Cut out magazine pics, or colour in a line drawing. 3. Day to day - involve children in what you are doing, putting away the groceries, or setting the dining table. Children love to be included in adult activities and it helps their confidence. Often when children and teenagers are engaged in a task, this is when they’ll tell you what’s going on for them. It’s a chance to communicate and to bond. 4. Chill-out time – unplugging from technology

Thursday April 6 - 2017

provides time to wind down. This includes playing a musical instrument, reading a real book, chatting to family and creative activities. Even a little bit of ‘boredom’ can be a good thing – it allows time for creative thought. Mulling things over can spark children’s imaginations and gives them a chance to get away from the external information overload that can happen in the external world and reconnect to their internal world. 5. Fresh Air - playing tag, flying kites, running with a ball, or collecting pebbles on the beach. These are the activities many of us grew up with and yet today get lost with our busy schedules and reliance on technology. Children can benefit from spending time away from their screens and sedentary activities by becoming absorbed in a game or activity outdoors in the natural environment. 6. Get Writing - sitting with your child and practising handwriting skills in a relaxed and supportive home environment during holiday time can help build their confidence. Encourage your child to have fun whilst writing by using different colours or decorating the page border. Erasable pens and markers such as the Pilot Pen Frixion range are popular because children can easily rub out any mistakes without having to start all over again.

EASTER 2017 DATES

• April 9 - Palm Sunday • April 13 - Maundy (Holy) Thursday • April 14 - Good Friday • April 16 - Easter Sunday (Western Christianity - Roman Catholic, Anglican Communion, Protestant Churches, etc.)

EASTER’S LIGHT AND DARKNESS IT IS said that that the medieval artists perfected the style called “chiaroscuro”. It contrasts light and darkness to produce an almost three-dimensional dramatic form. Masters such as Da Vinci, Caravaggio and Rembrandt perfected this art form. It can often elevate a rather simply work of art into a masterpiece. Easter is a kind of “chiaroscuro” too. There is the darkness of Good Friday. The darkness of sin and alienation are nailed onto the Calvary Cross. But the lamb led to the slaughter is not the end of the story. There is the light of Easter. The slain lamb becomes the Risen “Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world”! The light/darkness (chiaroscuro) of Easter becomes the central tenet of our faith. Our redeeming God has made it into the Christian masterpiece! Let us be chiaroscuro people too! When in darkness may we await in Christ for the light of Easter to dawn upon us. When in the light of Christ we know that not even future darkness can “ever separate us from the love of Christ.” Alleluia! Archbishop Christopher Prowse Catholic Archbishop of Canberra and Goulburn

Dorothea Mackellar, the Australian poet, once said Australia was “a land of drought and flooding rains”. Yes, we have all heard it and we have seen it on TV but when it’s your home and your business, it is very real and incredibly sad. On Saturday morning, 1st April I stood in the mud and debris of St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School South Murwillumbah. It’s a school, not my home, but as a priest you invest a lot of time and energy into the families and teachers at “your” schools. As we began to hose out I wondered: Where do we start? How will we recover? The stories of loss, devastation and near misses poured in. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, seeing and smelling. I’ll never forget the looks on people’s faces.

On Saturday morning after Good Friday the apostles, the followers of Jesus and his mother had very similar thoughts, he promised so much but now his is dead. What next? How do we rebuild? Why bother? Then reports began to emerge that he was actually alive! The reaction was more despair; please don’t rub it in, we are hurt enough. But he was alive; he had risen from the dead as God promised. There was going to be a new hope and beginning after all! Last Sunday morning in Murwillumbah the beginning of hope arrived as people poured in to help, love, support and rebuild. Where was God in this tragic flood? God was in the people who responded, helped and loved. Happy Easter!

Make your claim quick as you clean up CUSTOMERS AFFECTED by the

recent severe weather events across the Tweed are being urged to begin cleaning up their properties and lodge their claims as soon as possible. “There is an old misconception that you shouldn’t touch anything until an insurance assessor visits your house, but this is simply not true,” Suncorp spokesperson Rob White said. “Leaving wet carpets, clothes and spoiled food in a house is a health risk because it can cause mould. “If it’s safe, people should take photos and then begin cleaning up without delay.” Another common misunderstanding is that customers need to have their insurance policy number before they can lodge a claim. “If you’ve been affected, contact us and get your claim lodged so we can begin the

process of getting people back on their feet,” Mr White said. How to clean up your damaged home safely • When you return home, make sure electricity and gas supplies are switched off before re-entering. • It there is any structural damage to the house, do not enter as it may collapse. • Get anything wet out of the house and try and keep everything ventilated. • Throw away any spoiled food. • If carpet is damaged, rip it up and take it outside, but keep a small sample as this will help us replace it. • Take photos of all damaged goods and keep a record of model or serial numbers for the things that you are throwing away. This will help us assess your claim.

Looters and scammers move in on vulnerable AND businesses affected by the flooding and its aftermath are being warned to watch out for scam artists posing as builders or insurance company assessors.

HOUSEHOLDS

There’s also been scattered reports of looting taking place at a Chinderah caravan park and several businesses in South Murwillumbah have also reported items missing. Insurance companies have received calls from distraught policyholders in northern and south-eastern QLD and northern NSW who have been doorknocked by scammers demanding cash for clean-up, inspection and repair services. ICA CEO Rob Whelan said being aware of scam repairers and builders could save policyholders from becoming victims twice. “This racket is generally carried out by travelling conmen and woman who typically target elderly or vulnerable householders, though business owners are also being approached,” he said. “They often claim to represent the insurance company and pressure the householder or business owner for money to inspect the roof or other damage. “They may offer special deals on repairs, demanding cash up front, and leaving the job unfinished or poorly done. They will sometimes pressure their victims to drive to an ATM to withdraw money. “If someone knocks at your door claiming to represent your insurer, contact your insurance company to check their identity. An insurance company representative would never demand cash to carry out an inspection. “Never agree to repairs that you may wish to lodge an insurance claim for without first checking with your insurer. Not only are

these scammers unlikely to do a good job, but unauthorised work may not be covered by your insurance policy.” The ICA recommends: • If unexpectedly approached by a contractor or assessor, ask to see credentials. • If you are not satisfied, contact your insurance company to make sure they are appointed by your insurer. Contractors and assessors authorised by insurers will normally notify customers in advance before repairs or inspections take place. • If you remain suspicious, ask to see the contractor or assessor’s driver’s licence and write down the licence number and their vehicle’s licence plate number. • Do not hand over any form of payment directly to a contractor or assessor requesting cash unless authorised by your insurer to do so. Do not sign a contract with someone who identity you have been unable to verify. • Contact your insurance company and seek advice about the repairs process under your policy. Report suspected scammers to the National Travelling Conman Hotline on 1300 133 408 or police.

Social and affordable fund to deliver thousands of homes THE NSW Government announced last

month a major step towards delivering thousands of additional homes for vulnerable people across the State, with contracts awarded for the first phase of the Social and Affordable Housing Fund (SAHF).

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Minister for Social Housing Pru Goward on Thursday, March 9 announced five parties have received contracts to deliver homes and tailored support services in metropolitan and regional NSW as part of the fund’s first phase. “We made an election commitment to provide more social and affordable housing and we are delivering on that promise through the SAHF,” Ms Berejiklian said. “The successful providers are working in partnerships with government and nongovernment organisations, landholders and the private sector to deliver thousands of homes for some of the most vulnerable in our community – including older residents and women affected by domestic violence.” Ms Goward said the innovative initiative will provide vulnerable households with more support. “NSW is leading the way with this innovative initiative, which will provide social housing tenants with the homes and links to services they need to help work towards greater independence,.” “We want to provide vulnerable households with the tools and support to help them achieve the best social outcomes possible.” The Council of Social Service of NSW

CEO Tracy Howe welcomed the news that the first phase of the fund has come to fruition. “This is an example of where the government and its partners in the private and NFP sector can really making a difference together,” Ms Howe said. The successful parties, who will provide quality dwellings close to infrastructure and tailored support services, are: BaptistCare NSW and ACT – delivering 375 homes for older people in housing stress and at risk of homelessness and 125 homes for single parent families with a focus on women impacted by domestic violence; Compass Housing Services Co Ltd – delivering 600 homes for tenants that are close to support services and infrastructure; SGCH Sustainability Limited – delivering 300 homes for tenants with tailored support coordination services and quality dwellings close to services and infrastructure; St Vincent de Paul Housing – delivering 500 homes to general and older aged tenants; Uniting – 300 homes for people aged over 55 without children at home. The majority of the 2,200 homes will be built on land contributed to the State by non-government organisations. The fund was set-up with $1.1 billion in seed capital from the NSW Government. The Government’s investment arm, TCorp, is investing the money to provide a stable income stream for up to 25 years to boost social and affordable housing, with homes to be built over four years. Details of the next phase of the Social and Affordable Housing Fund will be announced.

History Making Tweed Flood

Murwillumbah CBD looking down Brisbane Street

Flood record on a wall in South Murwillumbah

The flood that no one saw coming

THE WORST flooding disaster ever recorded on the Tweed has rewritten the history books and left many unanswered questions after what many thought was impossible. The stories across much of the shire are heartbreaking from residents of Condong, South Murwillumbah, Chinderah, Tumbulgum, Uki, Mooball and Burringbar and many more communities who lost personal items, valuables and photos spanning generations, as well as those with small and medium sized businesses who face an uncertain future. The loss of three lives during the flood adds to the heartbreak and serves as a reminder of the intense power of nature. Among those lost include Matthew Roser, 46, who died of a heart attack as flood waters entered his South Murwillumbah home. Mark Austin, 45, lost his life at Greenhills Caravan Park after floodwaters rose so quickly residents barely had time to react. Gitana Schiphone was the third, aged 36, who lost her life after floodwaters inundated a property in Upper Burringbar where she was swept away. The lives of those lost adds a great weight to the heartache during the recovery process. Many people believe the warning signs were there as a tropical low from ex-cyclone Debbie barred down on the Northern Rivers from the north, timed with a cold front that moved in from the south combining to create a monsoon of biblical proportions. No one anticipated a flood of such magnitude and with such ferocious force and speed, with reports of the water rising within minutes instead of hours. The Weekly visited dozens of homes devastated by the floods, with many families sharing their heartbreaking stories of lost photos, family treasures and thousands of

dollars in damages. “It came up so quick,” is what so many said as one resident pointed out that the water moved into their home and within minutes rose to more than a metre. Scrambling to put their possessions on higher ground did little as the water surged towards ceilings and eventually engulfed everything in its path. While possessions can be replaced, many homes are also in need of new floorboards, walls and ceilings as the age of many homes means renovations need to be undertaken. But throughout the carnage and mayhem is a strength and unity from within the Tweed, that continues to shine like a beacon of light at the end of a long dark tunnel. Many businesses have set up their own relief centres, offered generous donations and are supplying drops of stock, food and bedding to the worst hit areas, in a bid to aid those struggling and to help get them back on their feet. An army of volunteers has also converged on the Tweed this week from across NSW, Toowoomba, Brisbane, Gold Coast and across parts of Queensland, to offer help with cleaning as well as opening their wallets to help ease the financial burden. Several business owners wanted to stress to The Weekly that help from the community has “kept them going” with sporting clubs such as the Mustangs (league) and Bananas (union) and Soccer Club rushing to offer help and clean up where possible. In many ways, the flood that would not stop rising has served as the ultimate test for the Tweed Shire and emerging from the floodwater is a new sense of resilience from the community that is united and drawing on the Tweed’s positive outlook against insurmountable negativity. Some families have lost everything and although they are likely to recover, the financial and emotional scars run deep with the healing process likely to take months if not years.

THURSDAY MARCH 30, 2017

Prime Minister hears flood recap from SES EMERGENCY RESPONSE teams including the SES, police, ambulance and firefighters were all overwhelmed by the flood that would not stop rising and although initial estimates had indicated a minor to moderate flood, no one anticipated it would become the worst flood in Tweed’s history. Deputy Unit Controller John McGregorSkinner said the number of flood related calls to the Murwillumbah SES topped 511, with many in a desperate situation. Mr McGregor-Skinner presented the flood story to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian as well as local council, state and federal members at the Murwillumbah SES sheds on Monday, April 3. He described the speed of the floods as “unprecedented” while also praising the efforts of the volunteer rescue teams. “Crews were out on the floodwaters and if someone put their hand up we went to rescue them,” he said. “The warning came through and we started to prepare ourselves. “We didn’t think it was going to be this high on the Thursday. “We had an intelligence session out the back with graphs of historical data and we know what happens in the upper reaches will affect lower parts in about three hours. “When we saw the rivers rising so rapidly in the upper reaches evacuation orders were out to South Murwillumbah and surrounds. “Our crews went out door knocking and spoke to people about evacuating. “Some of the old timers in South Murwillumbah made the comment that we’ve been here for 50 years and it’s only come to the front step “we’ll be right”.” But Mr McGregor-Skinner said the flood took everyone by surprise. “The water kept rising and it came with such a speed and intensity that it caught everybody by surprise,” he said. “It was 4pm in the afternoon that it peaked at Uki, Tyalgum and Chillingham at record levels, by the time it hit here not only did it rise rapidly but I was very surprised with the velocity of the water and the intensity of it. “It was like riding in rapids with waves, however I was very impressed and proud of the skills of our flood boat operators that went out there and rescued people that were screaming and calling for help, in fact the whole operation was very impressive and the quality of our people.” But just as emergency service crews thought the river had peaked, the rapids rose suddenly again breaking yet more records and the danger intensified. “We thought we were over the hump, the river started to fall but three hours later at about 9pm that night there was another peak in the upper reaches and again another record was broken. “We had the same flow-down from the upper reaches and the same exercise again,” Mr McGregor-Skinner said. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull asked how the flood compared to the previous floods. Mr McGregor-Skinner said it was the “most intensive in my lifetime”. “The people that have been here for the ‘54 and ‘74 made the same comment – it was the most intensive ever experienced by the Tweed,” he said. “East Murwillumbah and South Murwillumbah experienced the most intensive flood we’ve ever experienced.” But the clean-up remains one of the biggest

challenges for the Tweed in recent history and Mr McGregor-Skinner said there are still jobs and calls for help coming in. “We’re still getting jobs coming in, mostly for trees down blocking driveways,” he said. “The big thing has been medical concerns with elderly residents who are cut off and can’t access the town to get medical supplies. “We’re also assisting the RFS (Rural Fire Service) with the clean-up operation. Prime Minister Turnbull thanked the SES volunteers for their “extraordinary work”. “Nature at its worst for Australians is happening all too often, but every time it brings out the best in those men and women of the SES, police and emergency services, they show great leadership,” Mr Turnbull said. McGregor-Skinner said what was unique about this flood was that the combined weather systems from the north and south remained stationary over the Northern Rivers. “We looked at the BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) the rain came down and it usually flows out, this thing seemed to be stationary and started whirling around the Tweed Valley,” he said. Prime Minister Turnbull asked “what do you think can be done to further protect Murwillumbah from floods in terms of mitigation?” Councillor Pryce Allsop offered one answer. “I would certainly like to see that area down at Greenhills firmed up, it’s so close to the river and its the gateway to the industrial estate,” Cr Allsop said. “You mean a bigger levee?” questioned Prime Minister Turnbull. “If we can put something in there to help it, these guys can’t get insurance over there in the industrial estate because of flood, if we can help and save their backsides, you know there’s lots of jobs out there and we really need them,” Cr Allsop replied. Tweed Shire Council General Manager Troy Green told Prime Minister Turnbull that a lot of the industrial estate was developed before flood studies were undertaken. “The interesting thing is our most recent flood studies and the buildings we’ve constructed in accordance with those survived the flood,” he said “It’s a bit of a catch 22, if we raised the levee wall on the southside the town centre would have been affected. “The levee we had on the town-side saved a lot of the town and the effect was there was more flooding on the other side of the town, so the reality of it is I think long-term we need to have a look at industrial centres that are out of the flood zone and ensure any development where possible is well and truly above those flood levels.” Mayor Katie Milne told the Prime Minister she will be setting up a Mayoral Flood Appeal to try and help those affected. “We would obviously appreciate any assistance from the State and Federal Governments, we need that as well but it’s never going to be enough,” she said. “Just contact council on our webpage and you’ll be able to make cash donations, any way you could help would be fantastic.” IF YOU have a story you would like to share or you would like to thank someone that helped you through a tough time, please contact The Weekly. You can email an outline of your story to editor@theweekly or visit the office at 1/12 Queen Street, Murwillumbah. You can also phone (02) 6672 4443.

Mayoral Appeal set up to assist flood victims

COUNCIL HAS established a Mayoral Appeal to assist thousands of Tweed residents who face an uncertain future after the worst floods in the region’s recorded history. The tax deductible appeal provides an opportunity for members of the public and the business community to contribute financially to support local families and recovery initiatives. Mayor Milne said the community is in shock after the loss of a number of lives in the Northern Rivers including Monday’s tragic accident at Tumbulgum. “Our deepest condolences as a Council and a community go out to the family and friends of those lost in this terrible tragedy,” she said. “It’s just unbelievable to see the effects of the floods on virtually our whole community and people are still out there in isolated areas with roads and bridges washed away. “Raging waters reached way over head height in many areas. There are huge piles of damaged goods lining the streets and exhausted people cleaning out homes and businesses thick with mud. “There has been a fantastic community spirit shown with volunteers putting on BBQs, supplying water and hosing down streets. Knowing they’re not alone has made a huge difference to those affected. “The Tweed is a wonderful and diverse community but it’s not an affluent one, and given the scale of the devastation we desperately need help to get back on our feet. “The support and bravery of this community has been extraordinary. It would make all the difference if the wider community got behind our recovery efforts with financial support to help Tweed residents who’ve suffered through this epic disaster.” Donations are tax deductible and contributors are encouraged to retain a record of their transaction for tax purposes. Monetary donations can be made to the appeal at bank

THURSDAY MARCH 30, 2017 NSW Premier speaks to Murwillumbah businesses THE NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian visited the South Murwillumbah industrial estate on Monday, April 3, to hear from flood victims and SES rescue volunteers while assessing the damage following one of the biggest natural disasters in Tweed’s history. Mrs Berejiklian’s first visit was to Tweed Heads followed by Banora Point before she made her way to the Murwillumbah industrial estate (south), where dozens of volunteers and staff are cleaning up millionsof-dollar worth of damages. Several major trucking companies were bowled-over by floodwaters, with damages expected to run in the many millions and the clean-up progressing very slowly. Emotions were running high during Mrs Berejiklian’s speech including several calls for immediate help “now” to get desperate businesses back on their feet. Mrs Berejiklian said the State Government was setting up a recovery centre in Murwillumbah, where residents can go and communicate their individual circumstance. “There’s no point trying to give a blanket coverage when each claim is different and we want to get to everyone and provide the best assistance possible,” she said. There were some calls for more “concrete” support from more than 50 members of the public highlighting that insurance claims were slow and some had already been “knocked back”. “We are here to listen today and we have already have all our emergency personal on the ground, the commissioner is here and I have spoken to ambos, police and everyone who is now involved in the recovery stage,” she said.

“The first stage was responding to keep everyone alive and making sure that we were keeping everyone safe and now it’s the hard job of the clean up and we appreciate today and that the next three days we will understand the magnitude of what’s happened here, and I just want you to know that I am here to say directly to you that I appreciate how hard you work what you have done to build up your business and everything you do to support the community in creating jobs and we are here to support you in the recovery stage. “There will be someone that you can go to directly to make sure the insurance companies do what they need to do, we don’t want anyone dragging their feet we know how hard it is to build up what you had and we want to make sure that you get a fair go and what you truly deserve. “We are here for the long haul like you have been and its going to be constant, and I want you to be aware of that. “I know that you have been through floods before but I’m sure that not many of you have seen anything like this ever before, that’s why it was so shocking. “I don’t think that anyone anticipated how massive this would be and that’s why there will be a massive effort to help the community to fix everything up. “This is when you put everything aside and everyone pulls together to do what we can and as quickly as we can. “I am so grateful that you have taken the time today to come and listen to me and because I know you have a big job in front of you, I’m very grateful and just know that I and we are all behind you and we will continue to support you in the coming weeks.”

Delays in restoring power ESSENTIAL ENERGY customers throughout the flood-affected Tweed, have been told that those who had their power junction boxes covered in water will need to contact an electrician to assess and test the switchboard before power can be restored. The floods have cause widespread power outages and many homes remain without power. But it may not be as easy as switching the switch according to Essential Energy’s social media post on April 2 informing customers on the Far North Coast that: “Throughout today we will be isolating homes and business’ (sic) where the switchboard was inundated with water. You will need to contact an electrician to assess and test the switchboard and once done, the electrician will issue a Certificate of Compliance of Electrical Works (CCEW). The electrician can then call us quote the CCEW number and request power be re-energised,” the post reads. “If your switchboard didn’t get wet but water has been through your home/business, we will leave you connected to the network up to the switchboard. You will need to organise an electrician to have your power assessed to confirm there is no damage to the internal circuits and once the electrician gives the ok, they will be able to turn power back on.” Labor’s Leader in the Legislative Council and Shadow Minister for Energy Adam Searle said in a media release that the task of restoring power should not fall on home owners. “This is simply not good enough. Where homes and businesses have had power isolated, safety must be paramount before power is switched on again,” Mr Searle said. “But for the government to require people to engage private electricians, but to not be able to say who will pay for it, is just extraordinary, particularly when electricians in the area are in short supply. Locations that were without power as of Wednesday, April 5 (AM), included two properties at Terragon, Tweed Valley Way at Fernvale Road had 26 properties without power, Clothiers Creek Road near Pacific Motorway has two properties without power.

DANCE ACADEMY The Australian TV series Dance Academy was broadcast from 2010 to 2013 for 65 episodes, got many awards including two Emmy nominations, inspired a generation of Australian youngsters, and developed a fierce cult following globally – it aired in about 180 countries. The story of a group of talented kids facing obstacles of all kinds in order to follow their dream of becoming ballet dancers became extremely popular because it dealt not only with the youngsters’ dreams but also with confronting issues of body image, sexuality, sickness and death. The film Dance Academy: The Movie is a spin-off of the TV series, stars most of the original cast and like the TV series is set at Walsh Bay, the real headquarters of the Sydney Dance Company. The movie’s narrative is set one and half years after the end of the TV series, and starts when the story’s narrator, Tara Webster, - who was destined to become a top dancer before the devastating accident suffered while performing on stage - has physically recovered from a broken back but is still struggling emotionally to accept her life without dance. We follow her and others, scattered around Australia and the US, subjecting themselves to grueling auditions while trying to find side jobs and coming to terms with their limitations. An ambiguous ending to the movie leaves the door open to a possible sequel, but the message of this heartwarming story of ordinary people fighting to achieve extraordinary dreams is clear: find happiness even when your goals are forced to change.

THE MURWILLUMBAH & District Business Chamber in conjunction with the NSW Business Chamber Northern Rivers will host a special Murwillumbah Business Recovery Forum on Friday, April 7, at the Murwillumbah RSL Club from 6.30am for a 7am start. The meeting has attracted several highprofile names including NSW Blues coach Laurie Daly, NSW Business Chamber regional manager Jane Laverty, Tweed/Byron Local Area Command Superintendent Wayne Starling as well as local politicians Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot and Member for Lismore Thomas George. The event has also attracted several key representatives from Local, State and Federal Government Agencies who will be in attendance as well as the SES to assist in providing the most up-to-date information regarding business assistance and recovery efforts in clean up and business reestablishment. Regional Manager Northern Rivers, NSW Business Chamber Jane Laverty said the meeting would focus on getting businesses back up and running. “We are intent on preserving the welfare of our community and getting our businesses up and running again will form a critical part of the town’s resiliency,” she said. Please register to attend the Business Recovery Forum via via email to info@ murwillumbahchamber.com.au or Ailesh. obrien@nswbc.com.au Meanwhile NSW Business Chamber Hotline (13 29 59) is open for questions around employee contracts and advice. “We encourage members to contact the NSWBC Business Advice Line on 13 29 59 for any advice relating to managing insurance issues and/or employee relations,”

Mrs Laverty said. “Our Australian Business Lawyers & Advisors teams are aware of the flood event situation and will be on hand to assist you if you have legal concerns.”

Disaster Assistance The NSW Department of Industry have provided the following link with the latest information on disaster assistance - www. emergency.nsw.gov.au/for-the-community/ disaster-assistance/natural-disasterassistance-schemes.html

Category of Disaster Declaration Critical to attracting the necessary financial assistance for business and industry is our ability to quantify and qualify the impact of this disaster. This impact will be both in damage to premises and stock and also to the loss of trade. We understand that this impact will also extend to your supply chain and would like to ensure we capture this also. The importance in gathering this information can not be understated as this data informs the Disaster Declaration Category and will have a direct baring on the funds made available to support recovery. The current Category of Disaster Declaration is A, and I imagine this will escalate once the data has been collated. A link to the Department of Industry survey to capture this data is here www.surveymonkey.com/r/ NorthCoastFloodsBusinessSurvey and please let us know of any issues that we can take forward to further our advocacy for assistance to come to business more immediately.

health, beauty You Are Not Alone FLOODS CAUSE more than just structural and physical damage; they can wreak havoc with the emotional state too. Natural disasters can bring about high levels of stress, anxiety and anger, and can place us at risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is important to learn ways of coping with the emotional stress of our natural disaster and its impact. Already we have seen our spirited community show great camaraderie and resilience. It will be a long road but we can get through this together. We are fortunate to have local and online support networks: Heavy Hiterz Foundation- local non for profit charity providing an online forum to support each other and break down walls of mental illness. Join their Community Page on Facebook. YouPhoria Coaching- combination of psychological & physical strategies to beat mental struggles. Available online, plus they’re holding a workshop at The Gym Murwillumbah, 7pm Tues 11th April. Olwen Anderson Murwillumbah-based qualified counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association is offering NO CHARGE counselling for members of our little community to help us all recover. Phone 0427 558 870 Here are some steps we can take to look after ourselves during this time of disruption and uncertainty:

lifestyle

Establish routine. A natural disaster can greatly disrupt your regular schedule increasing the extent to which your life feels chaotic and out of control. Coming up with a daily, structured schedule can help you establish a sense of predictability and control. Talk about the effect of the natural disaster. Share your feelings with others or find a healthy way to express your emotions. Focus on self-care. Eating well, getting enough sleep, and exercising will help your coping mechanisms. Helping others can provide you with a sense of purpose, control, and empowerment. Avoid making major decisions where possible during this initial stressful period. Getting your life and emotions back in order will assist you to make better long-term decisions.

Golden Milk

Another way to consume turmeric for its many health benefits is in golden milk form. How to Make Golden Milk: 1 teaspoon of organic coconut oil 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric paste 1 cup of almond milk Organic, raw, unfiltered honey for taste Directions: Mix all the ingredients together over medium heat except the honey. Do not allow it to boil. Add a bit of honey for taste and drink as soon as it is cool enough.

Footy takes a back seat due to the flood devastation So much damage and carnage in such a short period of time. Well done to all those who chipped in and continue to do so, to help those in need especially to my mates at the Murwillumbah Mustangs and those at MFC soccer that donned the gumboots and gloves and ripped in. It’s moments like these you appreciate living in a small country town where everyone helps out in some way shape or form. The whole NRRRL round was postponed obviously and will be played at a later date as there is still plenty of cleaning to be done. Stan Sercombe oval was underwater and

with a bye this week and then Easter the Mustangs will have to wait three weeks to get a game under their belts. It will allow for a few of the injured brigade from the Ghosts trial to get back on the paddock including Rob ‘The Horse Whisperer’ Shepherd. The Dragons continue to be the surprise packet of 2017 and have developed an attacking flair the Tigers used to have. Maybe the ‘big 4’ distraction is getting to them. I’d be signing Tedesco and making it a priority – the two halves don’t deserve the money they are commanding. Ivan Cleary looks likely to take over the clip board this week and it can’t come quick enough. Manly have come good on the back of DCE being in form and going great. Was also great to see Keiran Foran back on the paddock for the warriors

on the weekend. He’s had some rough times both on and off the field and was great to see him back in form first up. The Storm continue to just sail along out in front, they are such a professional outfit that turn up each week – the Grand Final rematch this week will be a beauty and will definitely get a gauge on where the sharks are at in 2017. Broncos v Roosters on Thursday will be another great game. I thought the Broncos were doing enough in the wet last week but those close games can go either way and the wet certainly helped the Bulldogs. Once again well done to all those who helped and my thoughts go out to all those who suffered loss on the weekend. See you at the footy. Quinny

TOKYO ZAGREB SECRET ANSWER: TRAFFIC

Common Misconceptions -Dropping a penny from a tall building will not kill you. A penny only weighs about a gram and it tumbles as it falls. Because of the tumbling and the light weight, there’s so much air resistance that the penny never really gathers that much speed before it hits its terminal velocity. A gram of weight travelling at a relatively slow speed might hurt a little if it hit you on the head, but it’s not going to kill you. -There is no rule that states you have to wait 24 hours before reporting a missing person. The person will be recorded as missing and their details made available to other police forces within 48 hours. -Unlike what you see in sci-fi movies, there is no fire in outer space. Fire needs oxygen to exist, and there is no oxygen in space.

Featured Business

Having 2 sons Brett has had community involvement in Tumbulgum junior soccer and Kingscliff Wolves Junior Soccer clubs including both sponsorship and coaching roles.

Brett moved to area in 1992 (25 years ago) and began working for a long standing Tweed based survey company McLauchlan&Associates. ‘I remember a teacher from high school commenting in my final year that I should be a real estate agent so finally I approached a friend of mine in the industry and asked more about it. I liked people, I understood property with my background and I loved being outdoors so from what I was told about real estate it seemed the perfect fit for me’. Brett has now applied his trade and sharpened his tools for 17 years( licensed for 15 ). During that time he has twice been inducted into the LJ Hooker Captains Club representing the top 10% of agents nationally in the network.

“We need your help” clean up appeal and flood fundraising events and drop locations TWEED RESIDENTS, especially those in

South Murwillumbah, Bray Park, Condong, Tumbulgum, Mooball, Burringbar, and Chinderah are appealing for help from fellow residents to assist with a massive clean up effort following one of the worst Tweed floods in recorded history.

Several properties and business throughout the shire have suffered a devastating blow with some properties almost completely destroyed by the torrential floodwater. Several families reportedly spent the night in the rafters of their roofs, while others left their homes late into the night using kayaks and boats. Residents are also being asked to donate whatever funds and household items to give those residents a boost as they face the prospect of losing everything. Many families have reportedly lost family photo albums and family heirlooms. Helpers are encouraged to bring shovels, hoses, brooms and other cleaning gear to assist with cleaning away excessive amounts of mud and debris and are reminded to wear gloves and closed footwear for protection from contaminated floodwater. Several social media page including Murwillumbah Flood Donations and Flood Clean Up 2484 have been set up with offers of free household items and clean up assistance.

FLOOD DISASTER RECOVERY PAYMENTS: Minister for Justice Michael Keenan has said the Australian Government has activated both the Disaster Recovery Payment and the Disaster Recovery Allowance for eligible disaster affected residents in the Tweed. People eligible for the Disaster Recovery Payment (DRP) can access a one-off payment of $1,000 per adult and $400 per child. Phone the Australian Government Information Line on: 180 22 66.

Health advice for contaminated floodwater THE NORTH Coast Public Health Unit is

urging Northern Rivers residents and visitors to avoid unnecessary contact with floodwater.

Greg Bell, Acting Director Public Health, said it is important that people treat all floodwater as potentially contaminated. Mr Bell advised people that they should not swim or play in floodwater because of the dangers of contacting diluted sewage, bacteria, chemicals and physical hazards that may be present. “While the risk of infection from contact with floodwater is generally low, it is important to stay away from flood-affected areas and avoid unnecessary contact with mud and floodwaters.” Some safety and hygiene tips to remember: • When coming into contact with floodwater or items contaminated by floodwater people should ensure that feet are covered and always wear gloves • Always wash hands thoroughly with soap or alcohol-based hand cleanser • Cover cuts and abrasions; and • If you cut yourself on something that has been contaminated with floodwater, check with your GP about your tetanus vaccination. “To avoid illness, it is important to wash hands with soap and clean water after participating in any flood clean-up activities, and before eating or handling food. “Swimming in contaminated water may cause

illness, including ear infections, eye infections, fever and diarrhoea” said Mr Bell. Mr Bell said that if people have health concerns they should first seek advice from their General Practitioner. Hints for staying healthy during floods and while cleaning up: • Wear gloves and suitable foot wear when removing mud or debris from homes or yards. • Yards can be raked to remove debris and if necessary, hosed down. • Don’t try to check electrical appliances and other equipment yourself, seek professional help. • Discard any tinned food that has no labels, as well as perishable food that has been out of refrigeration for more than 4hours. If freezer door is kept shut, frozen food will not spoil for at least 24 hours. • Have septic tanks or pipes professionally inspected or serviced if you suspect damage. • Avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, use roll-on insect repellent on exposed skin and apply every few hours. • Avoid creating mosquito breeding sites in your yard by emptying out pot plant bases and removing all water-holding rubbish. • When cleaning up, consider your personal health, drink plenty of clear fluids, do not wait until you are thirsty. Take breaks when you can, watch out for heat stress.

Free legal support available for flood-affected families LEGAL AID NSW lawyers are on standby

to support local residents affected by severe flooding and storm damage.

“Families across the state’s north are facing an unprecedented clean-up and we are ready to support them in the weeks and months to come,” Legal Aid NSW lawyer Brenda Staggs said. “We have a dedicated disaster response service with lawyers who have extensive expertise in supporting people affected by natural disasters.” Legal Aid NSW can give free legal advice on issues including insurance claims, your rights as an employee, or what your legal options are if you have been affected by flooding and are having trouble keeping up with your mortgage or other loans. “Some of the most common issues people encounter in the immediate aftermath of destructive storms and

flooding include trouble making insurance claims and accessing payments for temporary accommodation,” Ms Staggs said. “It’s important for those affected to contact their insurers as soon as possible.” “You can get the claims process started as soon as you and your family are safe – even if you have not been able to return to your home, or don’t yet know the extent of the damage.” “Tenants may be told they have to keep paying full rent even if they can’t stay in their damaged properties, which is not true. Seek legal advice if you are unsure about your rights.” If you have been affected by the floods and need advice about your rights when it comes to insurance, time off work, or temporary accommodation, call the LawAccess NSW Disaster Response hotline on 1800 801 529.

Current road closures

Tweed Valley Way at Greenhills suffered extensive damage

COUNCIL IS continuing to assess the condition of the shire’s roads and says the damage list is growing. On Tuesday, April 4 Council closed both Mt Warning and Tomewin roads because they are too dangerous to use. “The danger on these roads is not visible to the motorist,” said Director Engineering David Oxenham. “While they might look good to get through on, the risk of driving on them is not acceptable. “On Mt Warning Road the pavement is in place but there’s nothing below holding it up. On Tomewin Road, the landslips are still moving.” Council mobilised contractors to both roads on Tuesday to undertake emergency repairs and make safe.

Bowls Notes with Judy Tuckey

Peter and Paul take the win WHILST CYCLONE Debbie’s effect on our region brought about the cancellation of Round 1 of the 2017 T.B.D.B.A. Pennant season last Saturday, District Championships Finals - Reserve Grade and Over 60’s - were conducted at Ocean Shores on Sunday. A very high standard of bowling was displayed by all contestants, making for a great afternoon of entertainment. Reserve Grade semis conducted at Brunswick Heads last week produced two hard fought matches with all participants hailing from the Byron precinct. Semi One between Bangalow’s Ian Holden (S) and Jeff Nolan and Mullumbimby’s Ben Leeson (S) and Leigh Rickert saw the Mullum lads take the lead early and holding Bangalow at bay to take the game with a solid margin. Semi Two and Burringbar’s Terry Standfield (S) and Dean Cotelli were up against Bangalow’s Richard Rombouts (S) and Gerry Swain. Team

Standfield quickly clocked up the numbers to secure a good lead early. Rombouts and Co, while fighting back strongly, reduced their deficit but were unable to reel in their opposition. The final in this category between Mullumbimby and Burringbar teams evolved into a battle royal with both teams producing great bowls. Whilst Leeson and Rickert held a narrow lead all the way, Standfield and Cotelli kept up the pressure. However, a concerted burst from the Mullum team over the last few ends resulted in them closing the game and take the honours with a comfy win. Semis in the Over 60’s conducted at Kingscliff last week also produced two great games. Cabarita’s Barry Sheppard (S) and Greg Goode were up against Kingscliff’s Trevor Hills (S) and Greg Barrack. In a closely fought encounter, team Hills was able to pick up a big six on the 17th end to open the gap. Holding Caba at bay over the final ends, the Kingscliff lads closed the

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals game with a comfy margin. Semi two was an all in Kingscliff affair with Peter Duncan (S) and Paul Crompton challenging Don McDonald (S) and Stuart Miles. Another close game with team Duncan taking control early and, refusing to allow McDonald’s team take over, closed the game with a narrow margin. The final of the Over 60’s promised to be a super game between two top teams from Kingscliff challenging for the top spot. Team Hills opened the card but by the seventh end Duncan and Crompton had edged in front. Superb bowling from Crompton as he backed his skip resulted in this team being a super force to deal with. Top quality bowling from all four lads was a joy to witness. Congrats to Peter and Paul this year’s champion pairs team. Spare a thought for Condong Bowls Club. This great little club and the greens were inundated with over a metre of flood waters last week. When the water finally subsided, a good 20cm of sludge was left covering the greens with the club house not much better off. The District Executive and members wish the club well as the clean up continues to return the greens to their normally pristine conditions. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Cudgen downed by Alstonville in Far North Cricket Grand Final CUDGEN CRICKET Club was named runners up in the Far North Cricket (FNC) LJ Hooker League Grand Final after a tough clash against Alstonville on Saturday, April 1. The final took place over two days at Reg Dalton Oval, Kingscliff. Cudgen beat Alstonville on day one for 158 and were all out for 65. Alstonville hit back and beat Cudgen for 160, with Cudgen needing 258 off 80mins. The Cudgen side managed 8-160 before pulling up stumps. Despite the loss Cudgen had another great season making it into the final, with plenty of hopes for next year.

Sh ting Hoops Having been through the March 1974 floods here in Murwillumbah, many memories came flashing back as we suffered through last weeks devastation. Murwillumbah Basketball was no exception with water entering the court for the first time in its 27 year life. It was only 200mils, but enough to cause serious damage. At this stage we cannot put a date on when basketball will recommence though we are hopeful we can get something happening by the 2nd week of term 4. It’s a matter of seeing how well the floor dries and what damage has been caused now and ongoing. I’d like to thank Justin and Selena Stillman and Karissa Ball and all the kids who despite their own problems at home, went to the court on Sunday morning and lifted the carpets, tidied the office, salvaged what they could and swept the floor. Also to the crew at the SDA Church who have suffered major damage. We have a wonderful community, not only in the town but in the MBA. A decision on the Women’s League Grand Final and the final week of Aussie Hoops will be advised as soon as we can. Here are some pics of the court and office on Sunday morning.

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC – Keith Kennedy

THE AUSTRALIAN Masters Titles were completed in good Surf conditions last Monday and Tuesday. In the 65-69 Ladies, Jan Gielis won Gold in the board and beach flags and Silver in the rescue tube and single ski. In the 30-34 Ladies, Nadi Canning was hampered by a foot injury, but gained Silver in the surf race and board with a bronze in the single ski. Just missing a medal, Jo Colja was placed 4th in the 40-44 2km run and Warren Copping in the 60-64 1km run. Sue Eke and Sue Hawkins were also in the top 6 in their divisions. The Open Competition started on Wednesday and it was to be the only day of Surf Competition with virtually no finals completed. In the 17 yr. heeding the weather forecast,

three finals were concluded ahead of schedule. In the board rescue Rory Matthews and Josh Jones (pictured) won the silver and Kia Onley with Cody Bell were semi finalists. Kia, Rory and Josh were 6th in the board relay final. Broadwater, the alternate venue for water events was unsuitable due to water quality. All beach events were held at Coolangatta and went through to Sunday conclusion. Several of our members using our IRBs were able to assist during last weeks flood emergency and evacuations at Chinderah. The Senior Club Championships will be held next Saturday morning provided there is water clarity from Cudgen Creek run out. 9.15am for 9.30am start. Divisions are 16, 19, open and masters. At the Coffs Harbour ocean 2km swim last Sunday our 17-year-old member Mette Klinkers was a close second in the open event as shown on Channel 9. Members are advised that there will be a meeting of the Surf Life Saving Committee on Sunday at 9am. The meeting will also endorse applications for Long Service and Patrol Long Service Certificates. Patrol Long Service. are increments of five years. Members who have transferred to Cudgen have the previous patrol years included. Please advise so that we have that information.

Tapped in to the waves

with Terry ‘Tappa’ Teece Arghhhh!!! They be mighty pirates those Coffs Harbour surfers!!! Well the Coffs Harbour Boardriders really did overcome some obstacles to make it to Duranbah for the Sailor Jerry Surftag Queensland/Northern NSW Qualifier. Coffs Harbour Boardriders have defeated Snapper Rocks, Burleigh Heads and D’Bah to take out the third and final qualifying event of the Sailor Jerry Surftag in pumping conditions at Duranbah Beach. The Coffs Harbour team of Jayke Sharp (17.1), Shaun Cansdell (14.17), Billy Kean (12.87), Madison Williams (25.03) and Lee Winkler (18.2) finished on top of a red-hot field beating the Gold Coast’s best Boardriding Clubs in their own backyard. Snapper Rocks Surfriders came home strong courtesy of an 8.2-point ride from Quinn Bruce to finish on 87.17 with Burleigh Heads finishing third on 78.79 and D’Bah fourth on 49.76. The trip north began as a real adventure for the Mid North Coast team with roads closed either side of the Tweed River due to flooding from Cyclone Debbie. Stranded in Casurina on Friday night and not sure if they would be able to make their opening heat on Saturday morning, team captain Winkler considered driving ten hours around the flooded region via the Gwydir Highway. With North bound roads opened on Saturday morning and event organizers delaying the start of competition for Kingscliff, Cabarita and Coffs Harbour to arrive, the three teams from south of the Tweed were greeted with pumping 3 to 4 foot offshore waves. “Such an epic event that was surfed in some classic

Local News 51

D’Bah conditions,” Winkler said. “Super stoked to win the Gold Coast leg of the Sailor Jerry Surftag over a bunch of Australia’s best Clubs. After being stuck in Northern NSW and being redirected all over the place it was an amazing weekend that unfolded for our club and we will celebrate with members on our return home. Pumped for the National Final at North Narrabeen in May.” With the top 8 Men’s teams qualifying to the Sailor Jerry Surftag Australian Championships, Coffs Harbour, Snapper Rocks, Burleigh Heads and D’Bah will be joined by Noosa, Kingscliff, North End and D’Bah Dregs on Sydney’s Northern Beaches in May. Cabarita and Kingscliff somehow got past the floodwaters as well, with Kingscliff flying the Tweed Valley Flag at the national finals In the Women’s Division D’Bah Boardriders continued their dominance with a massive win over North End Boardriders 78.01 to 13.74. It was the first time North End and third place Alley Boardriders had competed in the Women’s Division of the Sailor Jerry Surftag with all three teams qualifying to the Australian Championships. D’Bah’s team of Tahlija Redgard, Freya Prumm, Grace Styman-Lane, Brodie and Amiya Doyle will go to Sydney looking for their third straight Australian Title. The final will be held on 13th and 14th of May at North Narrabeen. Margaret River to Wrap Up Friday or Saturday Well the WSL has Margaret River on hold, at least until Thursday, but from all reports favourable winds and swell will not arrive until Friday or Saturday. Jack Freestone is the last Tweed Coast surfer in the men’s competition,

taking on an in form Owen Wright in the quarter finals, and Stephanie Gilmore is in the semi-finals meaning she will wear the yellow leaders jersey into the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach over Easter. John John Florence looks unbeatable at present, he was surfing ten foot Margaret River like it was a four foot shorebreak, and looks at home in Western Australia. It looks like being a big year, and if your are not checking out Bluesfest like me, a seat by the TV watching the surfing at Easter will be just the ticket I reckon. Catch You In The Waves!!
