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

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

The Truth About the

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

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

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

REAL Cost of Solar Batteries...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NSW Solar bonus scheme ends this year!

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

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

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

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

“Recreational swimmers are actively encouraged to utilise the pools during our slower times and our up-to-date website allows patrons to self-manage their usage of the pool by spreading the demand across the daily and weekly schedules.

“Our program usage has been increasing over the past two years and this is undoubtedly contributing to increased community health and wellbeing, particularly for our elderly population.

“Aquatic facilities are also used extensively these days as a place of social connection and cohesion for families, swimming and triathlon clubs and local community groups.

“This is an important and often underestimated value add being provided by our aquatic facilities across the shire.”

Councils three centres are far too expensive to visit for many of our Shire’s residents: “The entry fees for Tweed Aquatic facilities are cheaper than many of our neighbouring shires. We do not receive many complaints about the price of our entry fees and in some cases visitors from other areas remark to staff that we are comparably cheaper than their own local pools,” she said.

“For people suffering financial hardship we can set up flexible payments options to improve affordability.

“We experience a peak in the usage of our pools over the Christmas holidays with many families travelling here from the Gold Coast because our facilities provide a relatively inexpensive family day out for them.”

Resist any temptation to lease out any of these Centres: “At the 16 June 2016 Council meeting it was resolved that: ‘Council enters an Aquatic facility Enterprise Agreement as per the terms held over from industrial relations negotiations held 4 May 2016 and proceeds to employ staff under the conditions within the Agreement’,” she said.

“This resolution and the subsequent Enterprise Agreement negotiated ensures that all pools will be managed and run by Council staff (rather than contracting this service out to the private sector).

“Suggestion that the balance of costs for free entry be met by a reduction in employee salaries This would not be permissible under current employment law as there is no such provision under any of our relevant awards, employment contracts or enterprise agreements.

“Council is not legally entitled to deduct any payments from staff salaries. We do, however, under our Staff Health and Wellbeing Strategy, actively promote six and 12 month memberships of our aquatic facilities to all our staff.”

SUGGESTIONS THAT Tweed Shire Council pools should be made free to ratepayers in a bid to combat spiralling health statistics has sparked widespread debate with several locals throwing their support behind the idea.

The “free pools” idea was recently proposed by John Stretton, a concerned Murwillumbah local who believes the benefits of free pool access range from greater attendance numbers to combatting childhood obesity.

However, in a response to Mr Stretton’s proposal Council has sought to outline the cost of operating three aquatic centres which is around $2.5 million per year with entrance fees generating about $1.5 million per year.

Cathy (last name withheld) of Murwillumbah wrote to The Weekly recently in support of Mr Stretton’s proposal highlighting that parents are required to pay an entrance fee across all three Tweed aquatic centres without dipping a toe in the water.

“I have been amazed to be charged a fee to take my grandchildren to the local pool when clearly I am not swimming or using the facilities,” she wrote to The Weekly recently.

“It has irked me for years when I attend school swimming carnivals or swimming lessons that a fee is required when I am only a spectator.

“But how wonderful and sensible if more children could benefit from this marvellous possibility of free access to a pool and water safety.”

Other letter writers voiced their support on the Letters page of this week’s edition (page 4).

In its response, Tweed Shire Council’s Director Community & Natural Resources Tracey Stinson thanked Mr Stretton for his “well thought through suggestions” for improving the health and wellbeing of the Tweed Community through “greater usage of our beautiful aquatic facilities”.

Mrs Stinson, who wrote the response in late December 2016, said Council had recently commissioned an independent review of its aquatic facilities and the preparation of a business plan with the aim of improving operating performance across areas including fee structures, sustainability upgrades, operating hours, café and merchandising, marketing and programs to provide the best value for money to Tweed ratepayers.

“I will address each of your (Mr Stretton’s) suggestions and viewpoints separately below starting with permanent unlimited free/subsidised pool entry,” she said.

“Under the recent NSW State Government “Fit for the Future” requirements, Tweed Shire Council was required to substantiate our long term financial planning and to demonstrate that the Council is financially sustainable.

“To this end, we are undertaking a thorough community engagement and consultation program to give ratepayers more input to how Council generates income and how that income is spent across the current 52 services provided to ratepayers, businesses and visitors.

“Aquatic facilities are already substantially subsidised by Council to the tune of approximately $1 million per annum.

“Our three aquatic facilities generated approximately $1.5 million in 2015/2016 against an operating cost of approximately $2.5 million. This translates to a subsidy of just over $5 per pool entry.

“Council already provides additional concessions for people with disabilities, pension holders and all schools which equated to approximately $90,000 in 2015/2016.”

Mrs Stinson said the aquatic facilities “appear to be well underutilised” while all aquatic facilities experience peaks and troughs in demand throughout different times and across the various seasons, “overall our facilities are well utilised”.

“Some facilities such as the hydrotherapy pool and our aquatic programs have quite high levels of usage,” she said.

Great idea Mr Stretton

I support the idea raised in relation to free or subsidised access to the local swimming pools raised

by John Stretton.

What a great idea. We ratepayers pay for so much with our rates and I believe council could find money from its pool of funds to offer residents free, preferably, but if not, subsidised entry fees for the three pools managed by Tweed Shire Council.

Gayle Russell, Nunderi

Praise community response

It was fabulous to see such a powerful spontaneous community response to the vandalised Murwillumbah Christmas tree; the self-started restoration team would be an asset to any corporate or military operation.

They kept the spirit of the season healthy (and no doubt gave the vandals a poke in the eye each time they went past).

I hope that council will note the depth of these local folks care and invite them into the decision making for 2017’s tree.

Paul Bates, Tweed A word of advice to Lorraine Cobcroft (TVW 29 December).

In case you don’t know, it is now 2017 and I like many readers find your opportunistic propaganda a little tedious after a few years of the same negativity aimed at the Pottsville Men’s Shed.

Any lengthy response to negative comments which are obviously largely based on hearsay evidence will only bring further negativity.

I will however remind readers that “evidence” is something that one thinks is true, whereas “fact” is something that is known to be true. I will deal only in fact. 1.

There are no other options for a permanent shed. 2. The only waste of ratepayers money will be the extravagant cost for revegetation

of the BR Sport Field. 3.

Thousands of community minded people have given their support for the Men’s Shed to be located at BR. 4. The community upset will only be a very small minority of “green” fanatics who don’t want BR Sports Field to be used as it was intended. 5. Vandalism occurs anywhere at any location. Just ask the Corner Shop and Tennis Club situated in the heart of Pottsville 6. The main safety issue at present is the confined spaces of the demountable school room. 7. Black Rocks (BR) Sports Field offers far more and superior facilities for community integration and social inclusion. 8, Men’s Shed members gave overwhelming support for the shed to be erected at BR. 90 per cent of members are in favour and only three voted against BR in August of 2016. 9. Only one resignation has occurred since the vote in August to press ahead with BR, and since then 6 new members have joined the PADMS. The residents of Black Rocks need to act now to reclaim their sports field, and put an end to the fanatical push by a small minority including Mayor Milne and her 3 green cohorts in council to revegetate the field and thus take away what is rightfully yours.

I also note the letter from Cr Cooper in the same edition of the TVW. What hypocritical dribble given that it was Cr Cooper who refused to listen to community feedback when he put forward the motion to defer the approval of the license for the PADMS. Chas Armstrong Pottsville

Free pool entry – give it a go

What a great suggestion. Just want to say when my older children were young we paid about $1 per person for entry, now with my younger children it’s $5. How did this even happen? The normal fees are much too high for a mum with two kids it’s $15 every time you go.

It would also encourage people to go more often, but stay for shorter periods.

There must be some budget for this considering bad health and obesity numbers. I also think sports should be subsidised.

Less talk and more action.

Regina Godden, Tweed

Stopping the Gold Coast at the border

Councillor Ron Cooper (TWV December 8) need have no fears, as it is blatantly obvious to all that the Gold Coast precinct stops at the border.

Except for the morphed building

scenario, can anyone provide a coherent, logical, scientific, philosophical, structural, visual, or fiscal argument for the 3-storey building limit? Would not a limit of 4,5, or 6 stories be just as enforceable, provide a fiscal return for the Council, and some water views.

Maybe the hundreds of people fishing offshore would much prefer to see buildings hidden below the tree line which, incidentally is in the main - at it’s thickest and highest in front of residential areas - see aerial photos.

James Cooper, Kingscliff

Water mining is not sustainable

Water mining is becoming a serious threat to the Tweed Valley (TVW, Dec 1). No study has been done by the NSW Water Board on the impact of commercial water extraction. This practice of pumping out a finite (i.e. nonrenewable, non-replaceable) public resource and haul it out with fossil fuel in huge articulated vehicles on rural roads and bridges not designed for this heavy constant weight (each tanker loaded weighs 40 tonnes and carries 28,500 litres each trip. The Urliup proposal, if approved, will extract 62,400 megalitres a year, hauled to Yatala (Nu Water) to be filled in 1 litre plastic bottles producing 62-anda-half million plastic bottles to landfill every year. Now add the Rowlands Creek proposal and Dungay proposal - it is mind blowing. How could anyone suggest this is a sustainable practice.

It’s madness of the first order. I am ashamed J Hallan, a former politician would even think of stealing a finite (i.e. unrenewable) resource that belongs to the public not for personal profit.

Barbara Downes

Shocked over library closure

It was like an electric shock finding out that “my” library at Tweed Heads would not be reopening after Christmas; in fact, not opening for up to nine months.

The Tweed library has a collection of 47,000 items, makes 307,000 loans and services 73,000 people per annum in the catchment areas of Tweed Heads, Banora Point, Terranora and Piggabeen.

“What are we supposed to do?”

On offer is a very limited service of 4,000 items from a small room adjacent to the auditorium, a mobile library bus once a fortnight or drive to Kingscliff.

What a crock of sh.t! As usual, zero community consultation from

a Council that advertises, “We look after people and places…and are in this together”.

I started contacting Councillors, first being Warren Polglaise, who spouted platitudes of getting a brand new library. So what are we meant to do meanwhile Warren?”

Next was Katie Milne, answering machine, but no return call.

I then called Ron Cooper thinking he would appreciate the complete lack of community consultation. Another answering service but Ron did ring back and I queried the obvious solution – why not house the library in the large auditorium? Ron said he would look into it and rang back later advising the auditorium was booked. “Well unbook it, you can’t treat our community like this” I said. “Oh! We couldn’t do that,” said Ron. “Someone should be sacked for this”. “Oh! We couldn’t do that,” said Ron who recently portrayed himself in the media as a bureaucratic ‘head kicker’; but now elected has apparently gone to butter.

I then rang Pryce Allsop, the Murwillumbah Councillor, and finally found someone who at least sympathised. “We got pushed into a workshop about this as soon as we were elected,” Pryce said, “And they [bureaucracy] told us there was no other way, unless we wanted to increase rates, so I went along with them.”

So Tweed library users have been sold out for a mere $40,000 p.a. auditorium income. What a grubby new Council we foolishly voted in.

Terry Sharples, Tweed Heads

Not a fan of new roadhouse

What a disgraceful affront to the residents and visitors of our beautiful Tweed Valley is the new Caltex Roadhouse and the sad concession the developers have made for landscaping.

We have all watched for what seems an eternity for these works to be completed with an expectation that the entry to the Tweed Valley Way become something remarkable, reflecting the magnificent back drop of Wollumbin, the distant rainforest, mountains and the beautiful gardens of Melaleuca Station.

Instead, we the community and the Tweed Shire Council have approved this concrete monstrosity in an age of preparing for the end of burning dangerous fossil fuels. $25 million worth of heat reflecting concrete, more underground storage of lethal fuels and an excuse for landscaping which is an

insult to all who love nature.

The massive roundabout entry resembles a quarry with yet more palm trees stuck between piles of rocks.

A Caltex mini supermarket with, can you believe it more obesity promoting outlets like KFC and the ubiquitous McDonalds. We do acknowledge the introduction of an organic food outlet as well…

Good luck to Olivers.

We demand that the Tweed Shire Council contact the developers of this atrocity, remedy the landscaping on the roundabout and all areas of the complex to assure endemic species only are planted in mass proportions in an attempt to somehow make some good of this environmental crime scene.

Andrew Bennett, Murwillumbah

Prevent drownings this summer

We write to remind readers that it literally only takes seconds for a child to drown.

The hotter weather is already with us and we ask all readers to take the greatest of care when children are in or around water.

Our key message is that you must give ALL of your attention ALL of the time.

Children under 5 are the age group most at risk of drowning.

Last year 14 children in Australia under 5 drowned in a backyard pool.

Between 2002 and 2015, 128 children under 5 drowned in NSW. 65% of those deaths happened in a private swimming pool. In 59% of the cases, supervision was completely absent.

So you have to be close to children all of the time. A supervised child is not going to drown. If young children are left alone temporarily, sadly this opens up massive dangers.

We ask readers to make sure they are prepared for any swimming experience. Always be close and within arm’s reach of a child.

Focus all of your attention on your child. Watch, talk and play with them when they are in the water.

And watch all of the time. Never leave a child alone in water – or in the care of another child.

The reality is people answer doors, take a phone call, prepare food or get distracted – and that is when the most danger comes.

For further information, readers should visit keepwatch.com.au or go to #keepwatch.

Questions around Wollumbin / Mt Warning remain unanswered NSW NATIONAL Parks and Wildlife Service has sought to emphasise the cultural significance of Wollumbin / Mt Warning especially the summit, which it says was declared an Aboriginal Place in June 2014.

Wollumbin / Mt Warning, which is mistakenly called Mt Warning for short, attracts more than 100,000 climbers per year and has become a tourism draw card for both national and international visitors.

Photos have recently surfaced showing dozens of people scrambling over each other to the summit in a bid to catch the first light of 2017, sparking widespread debate as to whether the mountain is “overrun”.

Recent incidents including the tragic death of a climber and the targeting of more than 70 car tyres while parked outside the Wollumbin National Park to climb the iconic mountain, have also sparked a community discussion around the sensitive nature of the mountain trail.

Although a police investigation is underway there have been unsubstantiated claims that the tyre slashing, which has been reported on several separate occasions, is an alleged attempt to warn people away from climbing Wollumbin / Mt Warning due to the cultural sensitivity of the landmark.

Several Tweed locals and visitors took to social media to vent their frustrations following the tyre incident in which one man said surveillance cameras were desperately needed to catch those responsible.

The Weekly contacted the NSW National Parks and Wildlife (NPWS) media unit who fielded several questions around the cultural significance of Wollumbin / Mt Warning and some of the mountain’s history.

The Weekly asked NPWS whether climbing Wollumbin / Mt Warning is culturally insensitive and actively discouraged

by NSW Parks?

“It should be firstly noted that it is not appropriate for NPWS to comment on the cultural sensitivities relating to Wollumbin National Park, including the Wollumbin / Mt Warning summit,” said a NPWS media spokesperson.

“NPWS can confirm that Wollumbin National Park is culturally significant, especially the Wollumbin / Mt Warning summit.

“The Wollumbin / Mt Warning summit down to an elevation of 600m was declared an Aboriginal Place in June 2014.”

The media spokesperson said NPWS “does not actively promote walking the summit track in Wollumbin National Park”.

“NPWS specifically promotes other areas in the Tweed

Caldera, such as Blackbutts and the Pinnacle lookouts in Border Ranges National Park, as places to visit and enjoy the scenic and landscape beauty of Wollumbin National Park.”

NPWS has also placed several signs on the summit track in support of the Bundjalung Elders.

The sign reads: “Wollumbin (Mt Warning) has been a sacred place of great significance since time immemorial.

Wollumbin provides a traditional place of cultural law, initiation and spiritual education, along with other significant sites in its surrounds. Under Bundjalung law, only specifically chosen people are allowed on this mountain.

Climbing to the summit is against the wishes of the Bundjalung Elders. Visitors are asked to respect the cultural and historic significance of Wollumbin at all times.”

“The onus is therefore placed on the walker to make the final decision as to whether they walk or don’t walk the track,” the NPWS media spokesperson said.

The mountain was named “Mt Warning” by James Cook on May 16, 1770 and the first recorded attempt to climb the mountain was by Robert Dixon on June 20, 1840, some four years before the first permanent European settlement on the Tweed.

The first recorded successful assent of the mountain was

by Frank, Louis and Arthur Nixon on 17 April 1868. The brothers were accompanied by two Tweed Aboriginal men, named Nelson and Maloney, and it is interesting to note that almost all the early recorded assents of the mountain included Aboriginal guides, until the construction of the walking track up the mountain in 1894.

The summit was assigned the dual name of Wollumbin / Mt Warning in January 20, 2006, although many sources including Google maps refer to the mountain as Mt Warning.

The Weekly questioned NPWS as to whether it has any concerns or issues with the number of people climbing the mountain?

“The NPWS’ management focus includes visitor and staff safety, overall visitor experience, impacts to cultural and natural heritage, sustainable numbers including human waste pollution especially at the summit and littering,” the NPWS spokesperson said.

Finally, what is the best naming convention for the mountain and what’s the advice from Parks if people wish to climb it?

NPWS advises that people who wish to walk the Summit track: • Respect and understand that the summit is culturally significant to Aboriginal people.

• Respect and understand that Wollumbin National Park is a world heritage area recognised for the significant flora and culture that occur there.

• The walk is clearly marked and easily followed.

• The walk itself is a very strenuous 4.4km ascent and 4.4km descent over uneven surfaces, especially at the base of the summit.

• Visitors need to have a suitable level of fitness and a good understanding of their health. This is especially important with relation to fatigue.

• There are no toilets along the walk and no waste facilities in the park. What you take in you need to take out, including your human waste.

• Camping, pets and domestic animals, fires are not permitted • Ensure you have suitable supportive footwear, carry sufficient water to remain hydrated and advise family/ friends of your destination and intended return time. Don’t forget to tell them when you have returned. The weather can change suddenly and severely at Wollumbin.

• Don’t take shortcuts as this could lead to you becoming lost, being stung by plants, falling over unseen drop offs, injuring yourself and / or causing erosion.

• The track can get extremely busy, especially at the chain section at the base of the summit. Have patience, be respectful of others by leaving them room and time to move at their own pace.

• Take your time on the descent as this is when most people get injured.

• Snakes, spiders and stinging plants do occur on the track.

Pay attention and avoid grabbing vegetation and displacing rocks.

• Do not undertake the walk in high winds, extreme rainfall events or thunderstorms. Be prepared to turn around and abandon your walk, your safety could depend on the decision you make.

Cane growers off to great start as heatwave rolls over Tweed

SCORCHING TEMPERATURES are expected to continue across the Tweed Shire this week with a weekend storm predicted to break the sweltering heat.

The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast highs of 32 degrees celsius, although it will feel more like 35 degrees in the shade.

While Tweed residents may be sweltering there’s already predictions for another bumper cane harvest (weather permitting) across the Northern Rivers following one of the strongest finishes in more than a decade last year.

With last year’s crushing season producing higher than forecast yields and sugar content (ccs), the NSW sugar industry has been enjoying a dream run across both the growing and production sectors.

Sunshine Sugar CEO Chris Connors said the combination of stable weather conditions, high performing mill operations and a strong global sugar price, “our industry is enjoying a long awaited good run,” he said.

The past ten years have been a hard slog for the Tweed sugar industry with challenging weather events, cane supply disruption, fluctuating sugar prices and unstable input costs throughout the global financial crisis.

“I applaud our growers here in NSW who have continued to show their resilience and commitment to what is one of the oldest and most established industries in the northern rivers region of NSW,” Mr Connors said.

“These growers are well deserving of this good season, and so too are our local communities. I would expect to see a positive flow-on effect for local businesses as grower confidence in spending improves.”

With over 100mm recorded already for the month of January across the Tweed, Richmond and Clarence Valley’s, growers are hopeful of even bigger, sweeter cane this season.

The water is the best place to be this week as Tweed temperatures soar

Women’s Service petition hits 10,000 signatures A PETITION in support of the Tweed Valley Women’s Service (TVWS), which was closed around Christmas 2015, has exceeded its goal of 10,000 signatures and is preparing to raise the matter in parliment.

The petition will be tabled in Federal Parliament by Member for Richmond Justine Elliot MP early this year.

However, the TVWS has come under recent criticism from several sources including On Track Community Programs (OTCP), who are calling for the Women’s Service supporters to abandon the petition.

A recent letter to The Weekly editor from Tweed resident Majella Miller has also sparked the greatest response after Ms Miller slammed the TVWS for what she said was “failing to adhere to its contractual obligations”.

Secretary of Women’s Watch Ilze Jaunberzins said Ms Miller’s letter from December 29 attacking the volunteer management committee of the TVWS was “riddled with inaccuracies”.

“We ask her what is the basis for her claims to know ‘the facts’ about the reasons for the closure of the TVWS? Ms Miller was not part of either the TVWS nor the OTCP’s management or board at the time OTCP terminated their contract with TVWS,” Ms Jaunberzins said.

“Ms Miller scathingly writes that ‘if these women who are so determined to put their energies to good use by speaking with OTCP, then their efforts would have meaning’.

“In reply we point out that the Women’s Watch Community Action Group has made multiple approaches to the board of OTCP to address the Tweed Valley community about the matter but these approaches have been ignored.

“There is more to know but as your correspondent correctly notes, there are legal implications about the termination of the TVWS contract by OTCP, which makes it inappropriate to lay out all the facts in a letter to the editor.

“If Ms Miller, or any other community member, would like some more information they are welcome to contact the Women’s Watch Community Action Group via the editor of The Weekly (editor@theweekly.net.au).”

It should be noted The Weekly has received several letters in support of the former Tweed Valley Women’s Service.

New drop-off Recycling Centre for cleaner future

A tradition of care for over 35 years

Osteopaths treat more than you think

TWEED RESIDENTS can now drop off household quantities of up to 20-litres or 20-kilograms of paints, batteries, light bulbs, oils, smoke detectors, gas bottles and e-waste at the Tweed Community Recycling Centre.

The centre is located at Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre at Ledday’s Creek Road, Stotts Creek and is open Monday to Friday 7am to 3.45pm, weekends and public holidays 9am to 3.45pm.

Member for Tweed, Geoff Provest MP joined Tweed Shire Council Mayor, Katie Milne, as well as Deputy Mayor Cr Chris Cherry, in agreement that the new facility was a step towards eliminating toxic waste from landfill and encouraged the community to get involved.

“The facility is now open for householders to drop off problem wastes such as paints, oils, gas bottles and batteries for free,” Mr Provest said.

North East Waste received a $70,250 grant under the NSW Government’s Waste Less, Recycle More initiative to help Tweed Shire Council establish the new centre.

“Establishing this recycling facility will help the NSW Government keep problem wastes out of landfill,” Mr Provest said.

“We want to encourage communities to recycle these problem wastes to help prevent contaminants from entering the environment.

“The centre will complement the community’s existing recycling services, minimise waste and increase recycling.”

Environment Minister Mark Speakman added that the centres were part of a network of 100 facilities being established across NSW.

North East Waste (NEW) Community Recycling Centre Project Officer Karen Rudkin said the Tweed Community Recycling Centre was part of a network of eight across the region that NEW has secured funding for.

“In combination with our Hazardous Waste Stores they will provide residents of the region with a free, safe and environmentally sound way of disposing of their household problem wastes,” she said.

Tweed Shire Council contributed $33,000 towards establishing the Community Recycling Centre, as well as the ongoing management of the facility. This is one of a number of ongoing initiatives by Council to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.

“The Resource Recovery Centre is looking much better and is so easy to use, with great opening hours until 3.45pm every day of the year except Christmas Day and Good Friday,” Tweed Shire Council Mayor Katie Milne said.

In addition, household chemicals including pesticides and herbicides can be dropped off free at the Hazardous Waste Store.

Cr Milne encouraged community members to visit the upgraded facility, do some shopping at the tip shop and, for people thinking of adding a new pet to their household, to visit the pound next door.

Waste Less, Recycle More is a NSW Government initiative to keep waste out of landfill, increase food and garden waste collections, boost business recycling and invest in new infrastructure.

10 Tips for a better school year Back to school tip #1: Keep lunch boxes easy (for mum) While we all want to love and nurture our children by packing the best and most exciting lunch box possible, we also need to balance our aspirations against reality. Making sure morning routines are achievable and easy is the key to a successful lunch box, not the fanciness of your pinwheel sandwiches. It takes some time to find the right snack ideas the kids will love and you will find easy to prepare while there are other priorities to attend to.

Back to school tip #2: Create a laundry routine that works Washing. Oh so much laundry, washing and ironing to do. School brings new laundry management routines to stop dirty clothes baskets exploding before you get the chance to wash all those stained uniforms and dirty socks.

Back to school tip #3: Make mornings organised Trying to get out the door on time when a school bell or a work commitment beckons makes for a stressful time before 9am. Clever mums know that a morning routine that works is the key to starting the day happy, prepared and ready to leave the house with a smile.

Back to school tip #4: House work during term time should be eased A busy school year means less time washing the floors and tidying so you can spend time where it really counts. That might mean making extra minutes for homework help, reading the reader or sorting out the sports gear.

Back to school tip #5: Keep time Whether you’re trying to speed your kids up (to get them out the door, say) or slow them down (as they practice reading), clocks become a useful device once the kids reach school age. Explaining time, routines and showing the children how to read the time for themselves will give your kids the power to keep themselves organised (without nagging from you).

Back to school tip #6: Ready, set breakfast A healthy nutritious breakfast not only puts kids in the right mood for learning, but blesses mothers with a righteous feeling of success that they managed to have their children eat well at the right time of day.

Kids as young as four or five can get a bowl of cold cereal for themselves, and as they get older they can learn to safely use the toaster or microwave.

Back to school tip #7: Problems are a learning experience Term time at school isn’t always perfect and our children don’t always behave like angels or the genius we had hoped they would be. School rules, expectations and social pressures can be too much for our kids and it’s not uncommon for problems to rear their head once children settle in to the school year. It can be anything from bullies to learning problems to physical problems that come up and unsettle us – be ready to embrace them!

Back to school tip #8: You are the best teacher Learning always starts at home and your child’s mood affects how well he learns.

A positive outlook is the best thing you

can inspire in your children to keep them performing well at school and willing to tackle their homework.

Back to school tip #9: Labels, names and ownership Label all your child’s belongings including the library bag and especially the school hat.

Encourage your child to dress themselves so they can manage things like taking jumpers or coats on and off at school. Explain the concept of “lost property” to your kids, so they know how to find lost items on their own. Then cross your fingers and hope they have listened to you!

Back to school tip #10: Rules and behaviour Schools have a range of approaches to reinforce the good behaviour measures taught by parents – so learn what they are and make sure you can back them up at home! For students in the early years the focus will be on learning to work cooperatively with others and to follow instructions from the teacher. It’s a mother’s job to remind and reinforce the school rules at home so kids understand why certain actions are unacceptable.

Murwillumbah Premium Childcare Centre

What’s the best way to choose a school?

Without doubt, the best way to start the search is to give some thought to your child’s potential to succeed at different things and in different environments.

• Get a clear picture of your child’s interests, abilities and weak spots.

• Consider their academic strong points as well as their aptitudes in sport, art and other extracurricular areas.

• Ask your child to think about what they like and don’t like about school, their own strengths and needs, and the things they want to get out of secondary school.

A reasonably complete picture of your child makes it easier to know what you are looking for in a school, and to recognise it when you find it. Primary school teachers who know your child may be useful sources of information.

The most systematic way to select a school is to compare the options against a checklist of school types and characteristics. The headings throughout this section can be used to form the basis of these checklists.

If you have a particular need to satisfy (for example, a special educational requirement or a preference for boarding or distance education), the choice will be limited. Otherwise, start by deciding where you’re prepared to travel to, which sectors are most appropriate, and, if applicable, the religion or ethos you prefer. You can add to your checklist by including other characteristics you think would benefit your child (a strong sporting program, a particular language or a new science laboratory, for example).

Once you have identified the schools that fit your criteria, you should have a short enough list to go shopping. Visit the schools, scour their websites and talk about them with anyone who knows the school firsthand.

RESEARCH INTO what parents expect of secondary schools shows a significant level of agreement about what is essential. This includes: • committed and effective teaching staff and a safe working environment — no bullying, drugs or harassment • individual attention given to students; parents want to feel confident that staff will notice and take action should any problems arise • an expectation that the democratic values of multicultural Australian society will be actively present at school • an expectation that schools will take positive steps to create a place in which staff and students treat each other with respect • an environment in which their child can develop social competencies — they want the young adult emerging from secondary school to be articulate, to be able to make and keep friends, and to know how to behave appropriately in different situations.

In essence, parents want schools to foster a positive atmosphere that will encourage their child’s intellectual and emotional growth.

For the majority of parents, the local school — whether government or Catholic — should provide a more than adequate education for their child at a low cost. Private education comes at a higher cost but is often favoured by those who can afford it, indicating that an association between cost and quality prevails. Many parents also consider it essential to look around for the best available fit, just in case the obvious choice is not the right one. Perhaps they have a desire for a particular ethos or social environment, or a special need that can’t be met in their local area.

Tweed loses two local icons

Coast Walt Secord and Tweed Shire Councillor Reece Byrnes.

“It is with profound sadness that we share the news that our good friend and Labor party stalwart, Mr George Turner of Tweed Heads passed away earlier this month,” Mrs Elliot wrote.

“We also express our deep condolences to his family and friends. His funeral will take place on Thursday, January 12, at 1.30pm at St Joseph’s Catholic Parish.

“Mr Turner served in numerous ALP capacities and worked on many local, State and Federal campaigns.

“His contribution was officially recognised when he was made a Life Member of the Australian Labor Party in July 2011.

“Mr Turner served as the secretary of the Tweed Coast Branch, secretary of the Tweed State Electorate Council and former secretary of the Richmond Federal Electorate Council.

“He was also a life-long member of The Australian Workers’ Union.

“We will all miss him.

“His service to the community, social justice, workers’ rights, a fair go and the Australian Labor Party will not be forgotten.”

TWO PASSIONATE Tweed locals, June Purnell of Murwillumbah and Labor stalwart George Turner passed away in the first week of 2017.

June, 77, was a strong advocate for renal patients and having suffered herself she knew firsthand the challenges of living with a chronic disease.

Member for Lismore Thomas George MP provided a statement to The Weekly following June’s death.

“Mrs Purnell was a pioneer and strong advocate for renal patients in the area, particularly fighting for a unit to be established at Murwillumbah Hospital,” Mr George said.

“Last year June was by my side when I announced funding for this to happen and I am saddened that she will not be here to see the final result of her hard work.

“My deepest sympathies go to June’s family during this time.”

The funeral service for June will take place at Murwillumbah Uniting Church on Friday, January 13 at 11am (see page 43).

Another passionate Tweed and Labor man George Turner passed away on January 6.

TWEED ROADS have had a terrible start to 2017 with the tragic death of a 61-year-old motorcyclist following a five car pile-up on the Pacific Motorway at Cudgera Creek on Friday, January 6.

Emergency services were called to the M1 Pacific Motorway at Cudgera Creek near the Cudgera Creek Road off ramp, 27km south of Tweed Heads about 8.33am, following reports of a crash.

The rider of the motorcycle was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance Paramedics, however, the man died at the scene.

The female driver of the car was not injured although she was taken to The Tweed Hospital for mandatory testing.

A brief will be prepared for the information of the coroner.

Meanwhile, local police have reported Tweed motorists and visitors are continuing

to ignore the road rules with persistent cases of drink drivers.

Tweed / Byron Local Area Command Acting Inspector Jackie Lilley said more than six people were nabbed for drink driving on New Year’s and the message was falling on deaf ears.

“People continue to ignore all the warning signs and are still drink driving,” A/ Inspector Lilley said.

“These people are dangerous and I’d urge everyone to stop and think twice before they drink drive.”

Tweed Police reported a positive result for Falls Festival at Yelgun was deemed successful with “no major incidents to report”.

A/Inspector Lilley said officers reported five assaults, five drug detections, two intoxicated persons and several other violations including 29 fence jumpers.

Real Estate

Sonja Pfister-Skeen at P Smith & Son Real Estate is your Agent of the Week AFTER RELOCATING from the Gold Coast 19 years ago, I found Murwillumbah to be the perfect community to raise a family and develop my career in Real Estate.

Initially working locally in the Hospitality Industry, I developed many lasting friendships and quickly established myself in the area. It was during this time I built the foundations for a successful transition into Real Estate with P Smith and Son in 2009.

My passion for Real Estate is based on the belief that it’s not just about making sales, but forging solid relationships with my Vendors and achieving the best price and conditions for a smooth transaction.

Selling your family home or investment property can be a stressful time therefore you want the agent who always has your best interest at heart.

Sales across the board whether it be residential or rural have been consistent

in the region. We are seeing a shortage of properties coming on to the market with the demand strong forcing prices up.

According to RP Data Core Logic the median house price in the 2484 postcode is $385,000.

My expert & professional tips for selling on the Tweed are to not necessarily believe the agent who tells you the highest price, you want the best, fairest price in the current market. Over pricing causes damage to your property, creating longevity in the market raising questions from prospective purchasers. Finally, a first impression is a lasting impression.

Contact me today to discuss your Real Estate needs.

To arrange a meeting with Sonja visit P Smith & Son Real Estate at 85 Murwillumbah Street. Or phone (02) 6672 1007.

How to price and sell in summer THERE IS a commonly held belief that spring is the best time of the year to sell a residential property, however it may not be the best time for you.

Peak season means more competition as there are more sellers vying for buyers’ choice.

Alternatively, summer can offer the advantages of good weather, potentially less competition, and people wanting to move when school is out, or buy as a fresh start to the new year.

1. Set the right price: The three cardinal rules to selling real estate are price, price, and price. If the property has a smart marketing strategy, it’s the asking price or price guide that will make or break the sale. Generally, buyers will make offers when the asking price for a property falls within five per cent of market expectations.

The risk vendors face if they overprice their house is that they may have to reduce their selling price down the track to attract buyers, and if that property has been sitting on the market for more than a couple of months, buyers might think there is a problem with property. Often, vendors end up selling their property for less than what they would have if the correct pricing strategy was in place from the beginning.

2. Choose the right agent: Vendors should take their time when it comes to choosing the right real estate agent, and compare them against others in the local area. Vendors must also be cautious of agents who say the market will pay significantly more than what other agents have estimated – this is called ‘buying a listing’.

3. Work with your agent to create a solid marketing plan: In today’s competitive housing market, creating a solid marketing strategy is vital to ensure maximum exposure for your property, thus resulting in visibility to the widest range of potential buyers. A marketing plan will include numerous forms of advertising, and the internet will dominate it. Each major real estate website charge different amounts for their listing privileges and some even offer discounts to real estate agents. A good real estate agent will help pass along these savings to their clients.

A general rule shared by most real estate agents is that vendors should spend approximately one per cent of the total anticipated sale price of their property on marketing, however this will vary depending on the type of property as well as the local market.

4. Make a good first impression: A property’s exterior is the first thing buyers will see, and vendors should put effort into improving its curb appeal. A good real estate agent will highlight the stand-out aspects of a property, to allow the vendor to really showcase them when it comes to inspections. If the exterior is neglected, buyers may assume that other parts of the property may also be neglected, and think that they can make a successful offer below asking price.

In order to make the most of the summer sunlight, vendors should pull back all of their drapes and curtains and open up the windows to let in the fresh air. Polishing chrome fittings, floors, mirrors, glass, and door knob will also ensure that the light bounces off the clean surfaces. Going one step further by positioning vases of freshlycut flowers throughout the home will also do wonders.

Colour appeals to the senses and can be quite powerful in influencing buyers.

Replace your old bath mats, linens, throws, and pillows and replace them with complementary colours that help fit the summer theme. A fresh coat of light, pale paint can also bring out the best in your home by making spaces seem larger. Also, consider hiring furniture to help style your property or to fill an unfurnished room.

5. Keep it cool: Some properties are at an advantage of being sold in summer, particularly holiday houses or properties by the coast, on the harbour, close to the beach or near a river, attracting cool breezes. Similarly, a property that is dark and cold in winter can benefit from being sold in the brighter, warmer summer months.

If the property has good airflow, vendors should open windows to demonstrate this.

For inspections, vendors should cool down the property with their air-conditioning prior to potential buyers arriving.

Inspections should be held in the morning if the property tends to get warmer in the afternoon.

Matt McCann, CEO of LocalAgentFinder, says: “Although summer is a busy time of the year with businesses closing, people going on vacation, and the holidays in full swing, it can also be a great time to sell. Any season can work in the seller’s favour and summer is no exception, you just need to know how to best utilise your property to fit the season.”

LocalAgentFinder, Australia’s largest free real estate agent comparison service, shares its five-point strategy for achieving the best possible price and sale outcome for your property this summer.

Public views sought on State Planning Reforms

THE NSW Government has released a package of reforms to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 for public consultation. The reforms will help deliver the 725,000 new homes forecast to be required by 2036 to house an extra 1.7 million NSW residents.

Proposed updates to the Act include: * Investigating incentives for developers to consult with neighbours and the surrounding community to ensure disputes are resolved prior to a Development Application proceeding to council * New powers for the Planning Minister to direct a council to establish a local planning panels of experts and community representatives * A standardised format for development control plans, produced in consultation with councils, to promote consistency across the confusing array of up to 400 formats currently used in NSW * Authority for the Department of Planning and Environment Secretary to ensure the efficient processing of developments that require separate approvals and advice under different NSW legislation * Measures to ensure that local environmental plans are kept up to date * Extending and improving the complying development assessment process that currently covers most new one or two storey dwellings, to include greenfield developments and terrace housing.

Planning Minister Rob Stokes (pictured above) said NSW was experiencing the longest housing construction boom in the state’s history. The latest figures for the 12 months to October show 74,577 approvals, the second highest on record.

“There’s still more work to do and these planning reforms build on our impressive results over the last five years by making it easier to build new homes,” Mr Stokes said.

Making the planning system more efficient is one way the NSW Government will ensure housing supply gets to homebuyers fast. It is a Premier’s Priority to have 90 per cent of housing approvals determined within 40 days.

The proposed amendments to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 are on public exhibition until 10 March, 2017.

IT WAS a family affair for the 2017 Cabarita Bull and Bronc Spectacular at Cabarita Beach Pony Club Grounds on Friday, January 6, with around 2000 onlookers enjoying all the thrills and spills.

The event is an annual fundraiser for Cudgen Leagues’ associated clubs including junior and senior hockey, rugby league and cricket and the social bowls and golf clubs.

Another recipient of proceeds is the Cabarita Equestrian Centre’s Cabarita Beach Pony Club and Horsemen’s Association.

Event organiser Noel “Chubby” Everingham told The Weekly he was

Cabarita Rodeo Spectacular “delighted” with another strong year for the event where Cabarita shows it has a lasting connection to the country.

Mr Everingham said the threehour long spectacular had a focus on creating a family friendly environment.

“It was a huge success this year with a lot of families coming out and enjoying the night,”

he said. “We also went incident free and although the police presence was much appreciated, it was not needed.”

Chub said the bullfighting clowns more than earned their keep with many of the cowboys having to be saved from serious injury by bucking bulls and horses.

Stunning crochet fashion to feature at runway show Matty rocks Falls Festival collection, Jasmyn Eliza has teamed up with Tweed brands, models and makeup artists for a series of campaign shoots ending with a Runway Show at Komune in Coolangatta on Sunday, January 15, from 3pm.

In case you haven’t heard Komune is famous for its Sunday sessions and frequently hosts designers and the catwalk runs right through the pool, it’s the place to be this summer.

Drawing inspiration from the bohemian lifestyle, Jasmyn is a selfconfessed gypsy who channels her inner goddess to create clothing that celebrates fashion freedom.

“I have a deep connection to the Tweed Valley and I’ve drawn inspiration from the many beautiful beaches and rivers

in the area,” she said.

“I first encountered crochet during my primary years at Steiner School and I later self-taught as an adult to refine my skills.

“I’m also branching out into the photography world as I take more of my own product shots.”

Having been away from the Tweed for the past few years, her first local show is set to be a big one, with support brands Glo Tatts, I’m with the Band Headbands and Grace Bijoux.

Makeup on the day will be by LARNA G from INGLOT Tweed Mall.

Currently all sales are via the website www.jasmyneliza.com

THE START of 2017 was a dream come true for local musician Matty Rogers who did an outstanding job on one of Australia’s biggest rock stages at Falls Festival on Monday, January 2.

Matty was nominated by Tweed Valley Weekly and won the 2016/17 Falls Festival Foster a Band Competition, after he received more than 1,500 votes from locals and fans.

Falls organisers announced the Foster a Band Competition as a first for the 2016/17 festival which was launched to give local musicians an experience of a lifetime.

Although he was one of the first acts of the day, Matty managed to draw a crowd of nearly 600 with his amazing husky vocals and outstanding acoustic sound.

Speaking with The Weekly he said the day had “been one of the best in his life.”

“It was such an incredible experience and I’m so grateful,” he said.

“I had one of the best days of my life - I didn’t expect a crowd like that at 11am.”

The Weekly was there to catch the gig including a full video of his final track which can be found via The Weekly website: tweedvalleyweekly.net.au

Talking

Local sounds with Chantal Waters

FILMS with Mia

HI EVERYONE, welcome back to Local Sounds for 2017, it’s a great pleasure to continue to write this column and promote our local musicians.

This week I would like to introduce you to Phil and Tilley.

I met these guys last year when they rehearsed at Tweed Creative Studios and they’re nothing short of amazing.

They started writing music together in the autumn of 2012 surrounded by the New Forest, an ancient woodland situated on the southern coast of England, an inspiration for these lifelong friends.

Phil and Tilley play a blend of alternative acoustic/folk music, with influences from artists such as Xavier Rudd, Ben Harper and John Martyn.

The duo incorporates their own ideas using a slide guitar, the more traditional acoustic guitar and an unusual fold-upfor-travel upright bass which creates a sound that’s uniquely their own.

A yearning for travel and playing music has seen them play in Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium and South East Asia, but their story continues to take them wherever the music allows them to go.

I had the opportunity to interview this awesome duo below: Q. So, you guys grew up together and have been playing together ever since?

A. We went to the same schools, our friend bought a banjo

when we were 18 so we started a folk rock band together and that went for about 6 years as a 5 piece. After that finished we became an alternative folk duo.

Q. You’re bringing out a new album, what is it called?

A. The Album is called Cold Flame, we recorded it in Suffolk Park with a friend Alain De Carne who also plays in a band called Tropical Zombie down in Byron Bay. It’s a full album with 12 tracks.

Q. When is the release?

A. We’re hoping to release in the next week, we’re just waiting for it to be printed. Cold Flame is our first full album, we have recorded 2 EP’s Orokowa in 2015 and Running with the breeze in 2014 Q. What gigs have you got coming up?

Friday, January 13 at Miami Tavern - Miami Saturday January 14 at Marrakesh - Burleigh Heads Sunday January 15 at Cafe Catalina - Southport - 3pm Thursday January 19 at Fresh Cafe - Byron Bay - 4pm And then travelling to Sydney for 6 more gigs Q. Where to from here?

A. In the near future to carry on travelling and playing in Australia.

Q. Where can our readers purchase your new album?

A. On our website http://philandtilley.wixsite.com/ official/store, iTunes or at Tweed Creative Studios, 1/19 Buchanan St Murwillumbah.

ALLIED

The story is actually a classic, old-fashioned romantic espionage thriller that has the feel of a film made in the ‘40s, so much so that the story takes place in Casablanca of all places - and unavoidably reminds us of another, unforgettable movie.

76352

ALLIED comes to the screen after the much publicized Brangelina saga, and, despite having a respected film-maker at the helm, Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump) and starring super talented actors like Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose, Rust and Bone), the movie has become famous before even landing on the screen because of the alleged romance between the two leading actors during the shooting.

The narrative revolves around the encounter between Max, a Canadian intelligence officer, and Marianne, a female French resistance fighter, who meet during WWII on a mission to kill a German ambassador in North Africa. The two have to pretend to be a couple in order to prepare for their mission without raising suspicion, and predictably fall in love for real.

After accomplishing their task they reunite in London, marry and have a child, looking forward to a peaceful domestic life together. But it soon transpires that Marianne may not be what she pretends to be, and Max has to uncover her real identity…

But as the mercury rises this summer, you’ll need to pay close attention to one important aspect of your health: your hydration.

Our bodies are 60% water by weight, and proper hydration is absolutely essential for our overall health. The water we consume optimizes blood pressure, regulates body temperature, lubricates joints, moves waste out of the body, and aids in digestion.

Summer temperatures and outdoor activities comes with increased water loss—through sweating and evaporation—as your body works to stay cool.

Eat your way to hydration. Only 70-80% of your daily hydration needs to come from water; 20-30% should actually come from food! All whole fruits and vegetables contain some amount of water, but munch on these top picks for maximum benefit: 97% water: Cucumbers 96% water: Celery 95% water: Tomatoes, radishes 93% water: Red, yellow, green bell peppers 92% water: Cauliflower, watermelon 91% water: Spinach, strawberries, broccoli 90% water: Grapefruit

We’ve been getting some good weigh-ins over the past few days. Good Whiting around Tumbulgum, and Bream throughout the Tweed river, especially nearer the mouth and in the Terranora Creek.

Plenty of Jewfish with some 4kg plus specimens caught opposite the Chinderah Tavern. Soft plastics seem to be working well.

Tailor also being caught off the Southern beaches, mainly around Kingscliff, using White Pilchards or Bonito.

There are still a few Mangrove Jacks in the mangroves up-river and around the rock walls in the lower river.

Offshore there have been some good catches of Spanish Mackerel around Nine Mile and a few Black Marlin further out. Also around Nine Mile there have been some good sized GTs being caught on poppers and stick baits.

Remember weigh your fish in at Tweed Tackle & Marine for monthly prizes. Also the annual prize. The 2016 overall winners were Stan Goulding and Wayne Archibald who each attained 31 points for the year. Congratulations and $250 each!

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

Ever Heard of a Sacrificial Anode?

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

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

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

POLICE BEAT Counterfeit $100 bill used at Tweed Heads South TWEED POLICE have warned local business owners to be on the look out for counterfeit $100 bills following a report of a fake bill surfacing at Tweed Heads South on Friday, January 6.

Acting Inspector Jackie Lilley said a report was made to Tweed Heads Police after the fake $100 bill was used to purchase items at a takeaway food outlet in Tweed Heads South.

A/Inspector Lilley said the staff and owner of the takeaway had unknown the note was fake and it wasn’t until it was banked the next day that the bank flagged the note and found it to be counterfeit.

Police are making further inquiries into the matter and the counterfeit note has been seized for further examination.

“Businesses are encouraged to examine bank notes to ensure authenticity at the time of transaction and to record all details of vehicles/people that are acting suspicious before notifying police,” A/Inspector Lilley said.

The following information can be used as a guide to help business owners and residents identify a $100 note. This information was sourced from (http://currencyguide.eu/ aud-en/100aud-en.html) and may be able to help.

Guide to $100 bill security features • A clear window has a stylized image of a lyrebird printed in it, along with embossing of the number ‘100’ (both can be seen from either side of the banknote).Examine the clear window. Genuine banknotes have a clear window – the area around the window is uniformly smooth to

touch. The clear area should be part of the banknote and not an addition. Check the clarity of the clear window.

• Feel the banknote: A genuine Australian 100 dollar note is printed on polymer (plastic) and has a distinctive feel.

Check that the suspect banknote is not excessively thick or thin compared to a genuine banknote.

• When the note is held to the light, a seven pointed star within a circle is formed by four points on one side of the banknote combining perfectly with three points on the other side.

• When the note is held to the light also, an image of the Australian Coat of Arms can be seen under other printing.

• The words ‘One hundred dollars’ and the number ‘100’ are microprinted and can be seen with the aid of a magnifying glass.

• Slightly raised printing that can be felt with the fingers is used for the portraits and other major design elements.

• Intricate multi-coloured fine-line patterns and images appear on each side.

• Each Australian 100 dollar note’s serial number is printed twice, one in brown and one in green, on the back of the banknote. A different font is used for each serial number.

The alpha prefix of two letters is followed by two numerals representing the year of the production, followed by a further six numerals. Under ultra-violet light, the serial numbers fluoresce.

• Under ultraviolet light a patch showing the number ‘100’ becomes visible on the back.

Police appeal to find man who robbed Tweed video store TWEED POLICE are appealing to the public to help find a man who robbed a Tweed Heads video store late last year.

Police said a male offender entered the Blockbuster store in Tweed Heads and demanded money.

The man acquired an amount of money and left the store without further incident.

Tweed Police are requesting assistance to identify the man pictured in the CCTV image and his whereabouts as he may be able to assist police with their inquires.

Information can be provided to Tweed Heads Police by calling 07 5536 0999 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Tweed City shoppers have big hearts

THE GENEROSITY of Tweed shoppers has propelled Coles at Tweed City as the third highest fundraising store in NSW to help families affected by cancer over the Christmas period.

In five weeks, Tweed City shoppers raised more than $8020 for Redkite by purchasing a $2 Christmas donation card supporting the charity.

The Redkite Christmas campaign was launched at Coles supermarkets nationally on November 23 last year and raised more than $1.4 million across Australia.

All donations from the campaign will help Redkite provide essential support to children and young people with cancer and their families, which has been the charity’s focus for more than 30 years.

Coles’ customers were encouraged to purchase a small Christmas card and write their name on it and have it displayed in store to show their support for children and young people with cancer.

Redkite CEO Jenni Seton (pictured) welcomed the support from Coles and thanked the Tweed community for its generosity.

“We’re so thrilled yet again to have Coles and its customers support Redkite at Christmas. This time of year can be particularly tough for families living with cancer and the community’s generosity will go a long way towards supporting them,” she said.

Across NSW, 246 supermarkets raised around $300,000 for Redkite, with Coles at Tweed City ranking as the third highest fundraiser in the state. Tweed also raised more than any other regional area in the state, with efforts contributing more than $15,900 to Redkite.

Across Australia in 2016, Coles was pleased to contribute more than $50 million to charities and community groups through fundraising, food donations and disaster relief.

Students converge on Tweed for fun in the sun A GROUP of more than 60 students from across Australia converged on the Tweed this week to experience the wonders of sailing and other exciting local activities.

The students have travelled from thousands of kilometres away and from a range of backgrounds and cultures including from Perth, WA, Karratha, WA, Castlemaine, VIC, Alice Springs, NT, Wellington in New Zealand and Pupa New Guinea.

The inaugural journey was organised in conjunction with Tweed Sailability and the Tweed Valley Sailing Club and Tweed Catholic College.

The students aged 9-14 were given their first sailing lesson some of whom were first timers.

“It’s a great experience,” Mary from Castlemaine in Victoria said.

“It’s my first visit to the Tweed and it’s been amazing.”

Teachers and helpers accompanied the students and said many of the students were disadvantaged.

“It’s experiences like this that really brings the students out of their shell and allows them to make new friends and experience life outside of their

townships,” a spokesman for the group said.

The idea was the brain child of Carol Stubbs who felt Tweed Valley Sailing Club could invite the students to Tweed and enjoy the river. (From Page 1)

Temporary closure of Tweed Regional Museum Murwillumbah TWEED REGIONAL Regional Museum Murwillumbah is temporarily closed to the public this week as a safety precaution during repairs to the building’s air conditioning system.

The Queensland Road facility will be closed until Tuesday 17 January after a piece of the air conditioner ceiling ducting became loose last week, prompting concerns about public safety.

A solution to secure the ducting, to protect the safety of visitors and staff, has been identified and can be put in place by Monday as an interim measure until full repairs to the air conditioning system can be completed.

“Council is conscious of the inconvenience to residents and visitors caused by the temporary closure, particularly during the school holiday period, and was keen to ensure the Museum could be safely

reopened as soon as possible,” Council’s Director of Community and Natural Resources, Tracey Stinson, said.

In the meantime, Council is liaising with suppliers who installed the air conditioning system during the Museum’s major upgrade.

The $3.2 million project significantly expanded the Museum and restored the original historic building, creating a premier regional facility which was reopened to the public in August 2014.

Bowls Notes

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

with Judy Tuckey

One day coaching course open to all

ADIEU 2016, adieu. Welcome 2017 as another year of great bowling activities are in store for everyone.

Following a hot and steamy Festive Season, one can only hope that conditions will cool somewhat as clubs are beginning to return from their annual recess.

Tweed Byron Women have presented a super list of competitions for the year together with two new events added to the calendar. This year umpires will be treated to a special Umpires Appreciation Day and the District is also going to conduct a Champion of Club Champions Singles competition. The Versatile Sixes has been revamped and replaced by Versatile Fours. AND, best of all, T.B.D.W.B.A. will be hosting the 2017 Region One Pennant Play-Offs in June.

With the women’s Pennant season scheduled to begin in early March, and the men in early April, Byron Bay W.B.C. has again organised a visit from W.B.N.S.W. coaches to

conduct a one day intensive coaching course, on the Greens, Monday 23 January. The day is open to all, both genders, affiliated or not, from beginners to the more experienced players. A perfect opportunity to sharpen up your skills on the green, so make sure you don’t miss out. Give the Club a call and book a spot.

Tweed Byron Men have also produced an exciting calendar for the year and are off to an early start with the District Triples Championships to begin 29 January. Open and Reserve Grades will be conducted at Condong B.C. and the Seniors will compete at Mullumbimby B.C. Championship Fours are on the agenda to begin play 15 February. With the success of last year’s winning the Schipp Shield still fresh in their memories, this year’s squad will be all out to collect a back to back win when lining again up in March for their clashes with the Clarence and Northern River Districts. The District’s Compass Shield lads will also be fired up this year

after being relegated to runners-up last year when missing out on victory by a minimum of shots.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Tweed District Side Win the NSW State Open Country Cup THE LOCAL representative side led by Jayden Hoare has beaten Tamworth 8/209 by 6 wickets with 4 overs remaining in the state final being held at Grafton.

Losing the toss, Tamworth side chose to bat first in oppressive conditions with all bowlers going well. All bowlers got wickets with Connor Ziebell 3/54, Ryan McCloy 2/34, Anthony Kershler 1/27, Caleb Ziebell 1/34 and James Julius 1/45 off their allotted ten over’s.

In reply the Tweed side were 3/95 at the half way point with Caleb Ziebell top scoring with 55 and unbeaten innings from Doug Potter 49 and Adam Rogers 40 which took the game away.

The side backed up from their semi-final yesterday overhauling the Bathurst total of 144 off the superb effort of Anthony Kershler 5/18 and Caleb Ziebell 4/28. In reply the side lost early quick wickets before excellent unbeaten innings from Doug Potter 62 and Jamie Bennett 32.

The win is the first for the Tweed with the region featuring in 5 finals campaigns in ten years. . Brilliant effort by all involved. Well done to Jayden for showing great leadership in taking the role this season and the helpers involved particularly Sue Ziebell and John King in their efforts in scoring and managing the side The win caps off a successful representative campaign with eight Tweed players making the final of the SCG Regional

Big Bash Finals late last year.

Tweed Valley Juniors Update The Tweed Ballina junior competition is in recess during the school holidays. A number of Tweed Valley players are participating in various representative carnivals around the state at the moment.

From a Tweed perspective there is number of initiatives being held during the holiday break.

The Tweed Juniors will hold representative trials for Under 11’s, 13’s and 15’s to compete in the NSW Far North

WHAT A WEEKEND. The Burleigh Boardriders Single Fin Classic had up to 5000 people on Burleigh Point checking out the action on Sunday, and one Mr Joel Parkinson did not disappoint, winning the event and riding a single fin like it had never been ridden before.

He borrowed a late 1970’s AB Hotstuff 6 channel from his mate from Casurina, Clay Crawford, and the board must have been in shock from the amazing surfing that Parko was doing on it. The whole of Burleigh was hooting, and the surfing done had never been seen on the antique equipment before.

Parko was stoked with the win. “I have had so much fun this weekend, I would like to thank Billabong and Burleigh Boardriders for putting on such a great event, I love it!”. Parko also told me he is keen to come back every year, and the form he is in, I reckon go to sportsbet and get some money on him for a world title!!

Pro Surfing Hitting Tweed and Gold Coast’s Well the pro season is about to start, with the Burleigh Pro from January 26-29, and the Tweed Coast Pro, to be held at Cabarita from February 1st to 5th. Local rippers will be looking to use the events as a launching pad for the year, and nothing better than competing on your home turf. Look out for the locals to throw a few spanners in the works of the traveling pros from Sydney, and as well as the guys the girls will be hitting the water for both of these events as well.

The Tweed Coast Pro is part of the NSW Pro series, starting with the Carve Pro at Maroubra in Sydney from January 19-22nd, and finishes up with the Kommunity Project Great Lakes Pro, at Boomerang Beach near Forster later in February. Look out after that with the circus of the Quiksilver Pro to hit town! Here we go!!

Catch you in the waves

Coast Interdistrict Competition is being held on Sundays in February and March. The trials will be held at Rabjones Oval this Sunday 15 January from 9am.

Great start to new year for Tweed Valley Sailing Club LAST SUNDAY the Tweed Valley Sailing Club ran the sixth race of their Summer Series.

They started the year with a big racing fleet of 20 boats, including 8 NS14’s , 6 Corsairs, 3 Lasers and 3 Multihull’s, with 40 crew competing in a light and shifting easterly wind. This was also the penultimate race of the NS14 and Laser Class Championships.

Several new junior crew also joined the fleet recently graduated from the TVSC Learn to sail course held in December for their first taste of racing. They will be skippering their own boats I the race next Sunday sailing Sabots and X3s.

As usual the Multihull’s led the fleet

around the course with the first finisher, Dave Chester and Isaac Poulsen on Hobie 16 “Sledder”, completing the 10km course on the Fingal reach in 1hour and 20 minutes. Sledder’s skipper had just returned slightly bruised and battered after 13 races competing in the Hobie National Titles on Hervey Bay where he finished 28th out of 58 competitors.

Second in the Multihull’s was Toby and Anna Poulsen, 3 minutes behind.

First in the monohulls was NS14 Tornado, (Bill Fenelon and Sienna Pullen), only 12 minutes behind the Multihull’s. Tornado lead from the early stages and was never challenged, finishing 5 minutes ahead of Radical Phase (Glenn Slight and Kynan

Luescher) and third Zazen (Adam Hurt and Tom Busbridge) Tornado got the points for the NS14 Class Championship this time but Glenn and Kynan are still sitting safely at the head of the table and with only 1 race to go Tornado will have to wait until next season to challenge them.

The next three boats all finished within 20 seconds of each other – Glenn Slight , Adam Hurt then Gary McCrohon (Laser) and in the three handed Corsair class, first to finish was Melita 3 (Alison Blatcher and Karen Vidler), edging out second place, Minnow (Matt Andrews & Kate Yeomans ) to beat them by 3 minutes. Swell Lady (M Smith, M Walgers) finished seconds before Nimbus (K

Bourke , P Ross) with Dominatrix (R Timbs S Walgers) and Keenas (M Reynolds, S Foley , B Pullan) fighting for the final 2 positions.

The aptly named Dominatrix took the prize.

Sheridan secures strong result and Dale crowned Rookie of the Year MURWILLUMBAH GOLF pro Sheridan Gorton has shown yet again she’s a contender for Europe after she achieved a fourth overall at the 2016 Anita Boon Pro Am which took place in Auckland, New Zealand in November 2016.

Sheridan (pictured) achieved a tidy +6 over with the winner Jenner Hunter, an Auckland local, achieving an even par to win.

Sheridan was only one stroke off second place with third and second and her fourth placing earned her $1,785.

The hope was Sheridan will qualify for the European Women’s Open this year.

Meanwhile, after a solid year on the PGA Pro-Am Series Sunshine Swing, New South Wales professional Dale Brandt-Richards has been crowned the illustrious “Robbie Bennetts Enterprises” Rookie of the Year.

Brandt-Richards year on the Sunshine Swing was one of many ups and downs, though with six top 10’s and his best finish of second coming at the Coolangatta & Tweed Heads Pro-Am Brandt-Richards amassed enough money to hold off his nearest rivals for the coveted title.

Aside from the great honour of being crowned Rookie of the Year, Brandt-Richards will also receive financial support to attend a Qualifying School, which will present the perfect opportunity to further his playing career.

Brandt-Richards’ golfing career all started at South West

Rocks, and after some time developing his game moved to the Northern Beaches of Sydney, joining the Mona Vale Golf Club.

As an amateur Brandt-Richards represented at both Club and State level, and as a key member of the Mona Vale pennant team winning the Flag for the club, its first win of the Flag in 90 years. Brandt-Richards also had the honour of captaining the NSW State Team in 2015 prior to earning his Tour Card at the 2016 Australasian Tour Qualifying School.

The strategy for Brandt-Richards was to play as many ProAm events as he could in order to gain valuable experience while also improving his standing on the Order of Merit.

“It is a great honour to win this award and I would like to thank Robbie Bennetts Enterprises for their sponsorship of this award and the opportunity to further my career”.

“Winning this award is like an early Christmas present and will assist me in my attempt to gain playing rights on the 2017 Asian Tour.

Bennetts has been a huge supporter of golf for many years and is very proud to offer the next generation of Australian professionals an opportunity to further their careers on the international stage.

“If this financial support can give a young player the opportunity to achieve their goal of attending a Qualifying School, then it’s a good reason to be involved,” said Bennetts.

“I gain so much enjoyment from being involved in golf,

especially watching young Professionals embark on their personal golfing journey, from the PGA Pro-Am Series right through until they are competing on the international stage” The Sunshine Swing forms part of the PGA Pro-Am Series which comprises of 200 events Australia wide.

Played across more than 170 golf courses around Australia the PGA Pro-Am Series plays an important part in the development of Australia’s Professional Golfers whilst also growing the game at a grass roots level by engaging an estimated 48,000 amateur golfers each year.
