TWEED SHIRE Councillors have voted to deny the Dungay caravan park development application at 355 Tomewin Road, during Council’s Planning Committee meeting on Thursday, December 7, in what is likely to trigger an appeal process through the Land and Environment Court. Councillor Pryce Allsop was the only Councillor who voted to approve the caravan park, but was outvoted by Cr Reece Byrnes, Cr Chris Cherry, Cr Ron Cooper, Mayor Katie Milne, Cr James Owen and Cr Warren Polglase. The Weekly recently spoke with the proposed caravan park’s board spokesperson Neville Fredericks, who stressed the importance of the caravan park for future housing options across the Tweed Valley, despite Council highlighting the development as “not in the public interest”. Council’s report outlined a range of concerns for the development including that it is “likely to have adverse impact on existing natural environment”, the development is “likely to have adverse impact on existing agricultural land uses” and the development is considered “not in the public interest” to name a few. It should be noted that Cr Chris Cherry declared a non-significant, non-pecuniary interest beacuse her family owns the Wooyung Caravan Park, however Cr Cherry remained in the room for voting and assessed the application on merit alone. Mr Fredericks fielded several questions from The Weekly including the project’s background, what the
denial means and whether the developer will move towards court action. “Councillor’s decision not to defer the matter will most likely lead to a Land and Environment Court appeal,” Mr Fredericks told the Weekly. “The project is to develop a caravan park at Dungay for 172 sites. Following approval, relocatable homes would be placed on the majority of sites and sold to interested parties on a long-term land lease. “The sites are much larger than usual, each home being able to have private open space. “The one to three bed cottages are of a traditional design with high internal ceilings, will have a five-star plus energy rating and a minimum of 2.5Kw solar power generated on every roof.” Mr Fredericks said the community facilities proposed would be of the highest standard in the industry. “Best practice water usage will be employed, and sewer effluent will be used to grow a timber crop,” he said. Mr Fredericks said the 76-acre site is zoned for caravan park usage and dwelling floor levels are “well above the one in 100-year flood standard”. “The site is in the centre of a collection of intensive land usages, including a primary school and high school, an industrial machinery yard and a stock manufacturing plant,” he said. “Post development traffic flows will be less than 20 per cent of the capacity of Tomewin Road and landscape impacts will be minimal.” The proposed development has however drawn a range of criticism from locals with an estimated 95 per cent of current Dungay residents
opposed to the project with several raising concerns about the intensive “subdivision” and use of agricultural land. Meanwhile, Mr Fredericks said the development could address a housing shortage and “rapidly growing” interest in these communities in NSW, as seniors are wishing to downsize to smaller dwellings and release capital from their homes to support their retiring years. “In doing so, they are releasing their family homes into the general market for younger families,” he said. “There are waiting lists for buyers and in general across the state there is a shortage and limited choice for buyers. “The Tweed Shire does have a housing crisis and Councillors have an obligation to care and provide for all segments of the communities housing needs. “Residents will generally average around 60 to 65 years in age and at a later time when they need support their homes can be sold for entry into a retirement village (the average entry age into retirement villages is now 80 years old). “Strategic plans foster diversity of housing choice and this project will make an important contribution in the Tweed, especially for senior single women who are particularly attracted to these supporting communities.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe the proposed Dungay caravan park is not in the public interest? Or is there a need to develop mixed housing options? Send your thoughts and letters to editor@ theweekly.net.au
LOCATIONS FOR the Tweed’s first return and earn container deposit scheme have been announced this week. The first location is already open at the Chinderah Bay Drive BP Service Station, who are accepting over the counter deposits and Kingscliff Shopping Village is expected to have the shire’s first vending machine deposit up and running by Friday, December 15. Chinderah BP will only accept eligible cans and bottles between certain hours (please check with the business), with cash paid over the counter to depositors, after staff have assessed each item. Items limited to 200 and a deposit vending machine is also expected to be setup at BP Chinderah soon. The service station is currently the Tweed Shire’s only over the counter
deposit site, with more expected to be announced in 2018. Word has already started to spread about the deposit site with the service station taking a steady flow of deposits including one resident who returned around 70 bottles to recieve a $7 refund. Those wanting to deposit their bottles and cans are being reminded to ensure they comply with requirements including that items must have a label (barcode) and must be in its original form or not crushed. Under the scheme, which has been criticised by local bottle shops for the rollout prior to Christmas, consumers will be able to return eligible beverage containers for recycling in exchange for a 10 cent refund. The scheme, which has partnered with Woolworths, aims to provide up
to 180 collection points in metro and regional areas across NSW including Reverse Vending Machines (RVM). Consumers will be able to use the RVM to donate their refund directly to selected charities or receive the refund via electronic payment to a registered account. Customers can also use a credit voucher issued by the RVM towards their shopping at Woolworths or simply redeem for cash in Woolworths supermarkets across NSW. Markus Fraval, Director, Strategy & Business Development, TOMRA Collection said; “We are pleased to have the state’s largest retailer, Woolworths on board as the first partner to be announced to provide redemption locations for residents to receive their refund”.

High hopes for Murwillumbah Baptist Church
For 98 years, Murwillumbah Baptist Church has been serving the community, not just with Sunday worship, but also with community groups. A Christian school started at the church and over the years there has been a playgroup for mums and babies, Tumbletown, a Youth Group, a Kids Club and Golden Fellowship for Seniors. At one time, we were also serving Sunday night meals to the disadvantaged. Our aim is to know, show and share Christ. As one of the former members of Murwillumbah Baptist Church I am looking forward to the future and new beginnings, hoping to see the Church reopening next year. Mary Townsend, Uki Following the Northern Rivers Railway Action meeting held at the Murwillumbah RSL recently, enthusiastically supported by Murwillumbah residents and others longing for the return of the Rail Service between Casino and Murwillumbah, and in reply to Robbie Wesley and Alison Blatcher’s excellent letters, as well as others over the past weeks, compels me to put finger to keypad. A rail service would be of more benefit to the area supplying tourists to spend their money in local accommodation, catering and tourism businesses, compared to the rail trail. The rail service would provide locals, many of whom are pensioners without vehicles of their own, a comfortable journey to other parts of the region as well being able to venture further afield to visit family or friends. The population of the region is increasing, indeed it has since the rail service ceased in 2005 and in my 68 years in the Tweed Valley. It would be a shame to lose the existing rail corridor which serves Lismore, Bangalow, Byron Bay,

Mullumbimby, all of which are growing centres, along with several small villages in between. The bottlenecks in and around Byron Bay during peak holiday seasons and events are irritating. The Tweed Coast, the Gold Coast, even Ballina, are all holiday destinations that could be serviced by local bus companies from the towns on the line. In the UK British Rail is replacing lines closed in the 1960s. Closer to home the QR line from Brisbane to Tweed Heads, closed in the early 1960s is now partially replaced. The “Gold Coast Motorail” provided an excellent service for tourism and it was a financial success. When it was replaced by the XPT service, instructions were given to locate the coaches in an obscure Siding and leave the doors unlocked and open for vandalism. Commendations to the present NSW Government for the recently announced $50 million worth of investment to replace the 30-yearold XPT, Explorer and Endeavour Rail Motor Sets Another substantial sum of money has been given to a group in the midwestern region of NSW to reinstate the Kandos to Rylstone line. A sum of $1.1 million has been provided by the State Government following serious lobbying by the local member to create a Heritage Rail Line over 8 kilometres of track. This follows a petition signed by 1,227 local residents, with local council and historical museum support, in the hope of attracting visitors to the area. In a statement, ex Transport Minister now Premier Berejiklian, defending her thoughts about the proposed new stadiums in Sydney said, “she was thinking of Sydney’s future.” So Premier, the Northern Rivers doesn’t have a future ? Going back to the meeting at the RSL, Tweed Mayor Katie Milne stated there hasn’t been very much consultation with Tweed Shire residents about what is to be done about the rail corridor. Would it be possible for a simple yes/no survey, Tweed Link and on the Council website to convey what the residents of Tweed think about the rail corridor. There was only one local river cruise operator present at the meeting. No one from hospitality, retail, bus or taxi businesses, all of whom could benefit from connecting to a rail service as well as no shire councillors, other than the Mayor. Come on everybody, don’t be so complacent or dismissive, please support this cause. Lobby your councillors and local state members. If they don’t show any interest, say
you won’t vote them in again. The longer the rail corridor is left for trees to grow through and bridges to deteriorate, there are more nails to go into the coffin of the Casino to Murwillumbah rail line. Contact nrrailwayaction@gmail. com with your support. John Drew, Murwillumbah
Alarming fire risk
So yet another house fire last month, this time in Dulguigan. Despite the fact that it was suspected to have started in the kitchen, the article digresses by saying that Tweed shire allows only fires with permission from Murwillumbah RFS. The owner was at home at the time and would have known if he lit a fire or not so it seems irrelevant to discuss permits. RFS captain Joe Frankland urged residents to check household appliances and fire extinguishers but neglected to mention the one critically important thing that can protect residents from fire, that is having photoelectric as opposed to ionisation smoke alarms. The NSW RFS’ official position is to recommend only photoelectric alarms yet rarely do they publicly say so. Why? Don’t they have a duty of care to let the public know how dangerous ionisation smoke alarms are? Most NSW homes are still fitted with ionisation smoke alarms (available in NSW but not QLD) which are unable to detect the very small smoke particles that precede dangerous explosions of fire. Last year former NSW fire Commissioner, Greg Mullins stated ‘ionisation smoke alarms should be banned.’ A Channel 7 report states: “Other experts claim the flawed alarms have failed to save thousands of lives.” See www.TenantsLivesMatter.org/ home.html#tat In November 2011 the NT mandated smoke alarms in all new homes. In January 2017 Queensland legislated photoelectric-only smoke alarms. Why is NSW so far behind? How many more lives must be lost and homes burned down before the NSW RFS loudly denounces ionisation smoke alarms? Menkit Prince, Uki
balance. There are two political parties and two independents – so much better than the representation in other levels of government. No one political party has control of Tweed Council – very different to many other councils. As a result, this Council is also more stable than many. It won’t suit some. Just like the yes vote won’t suit some. Democracy is not perfect. Free speech ensures the contest of ideas. In this case, The Weekly has provided the platform through its letters page. May debate and protest thrive. Councillor Ron Cooper, Kingscliff
Season of Belonging
For many Australians, the festive season is one of joy and connection, where friendships and family are celebrated, food is shared and holiday plans are made. Yet for others in our neighbourhoods, that sense of togetherness, warmth and belonging will not be felt, and rather an acute sense of loneliness will take hold. Christmas Day might be lunch for one, sleeping rough or spent with the paralysing uncertainty of not knowing where family is, after being separated because of war or conflict. There is hope. At Red Cross loneliness is not something to be ashamed of. We’re there for people who have nobody else: calling and visiting, driving them to appointments, offering one-toone support to those struggling with mental illness, or giving a warm welcome to those seeking safety from violence or persecution. We know loneliness doesn’t discriminate. It stealthily creeps into our lives, no matter our age, gender or ethnicity, and takes hold when tragedy happens, like losing a loved one, a divorce or losing your job. And if you don’t catch it early, loneliness can reach chronic levels and have a significant effect on our health. But it’s bigger than that. When there’s no one by your side, and
you’re feeling deeply isolated, communities start to become less trusting, there’s more fear and places start to feel less safe. It’s time for Australians to change that. Red Cross is calling on you to make this the Season of Belonging, by taking simple steps. Be kind on social media, say hello to your neighbours, volunteer or check on someone you know is in trouble. A donation to Red Cross will also help us continue on our mission to work with half a million of the most socially excluded Australians to build the vital connections they need.

Donate to Christmas appeal
With all of life’s distractions, we sometimes forget the true meaning of Christmas. When we are caught up buying presents and over indulging in food, Christmas can be a time when we often forget what really matters. But bad experiences and misfortunes can culminate at Christmas time, which means for vulnerable and marginalised Australians, Christmas can be the hardest time of the year. For the Salvos it’s our busiest period, with more than 300,000 families and individuals seeking assistance. We give out more than 500,000 gifts and toys, and serve over 10,000 meals to those who don’t have the means to celebrate Christmas. We can only meet this need because year after year Australians come together and stand by those doing it tough. This, I believe, is the true meaning of Christmas. So this holiday season let’s remember those going it alone. By donating $29 to The Salvation Army’s Christmas Appeal, you can help put a present under the tree and food on the table, bringing hope where it’s needed most. Neil Venables, National Secretary for Communications, The Salvation Army

Uki sculpture to honour spirit of volunteers
A HEARTWARMING sculpture acknowledging the spirit of volunteering and a tribute to the late Uki identity Kenneth (Pop or Pommie) Highfield will be officially unveiled at the Uki Public School on Friday, December 15. The Weekly recently caught up with Uki artist and sculptor MarieFrance Rose, who reminisced about her encounters with Pop and the inspiration behind the sculpture in his memory. “Having been in Uki for the past 10 years I would often see Pommie around town,” she said. “He was a sweet man and worked in volunteering and other roles up until his death at 99 years old.” Ms Rose said that although Mr Highfield had grappled with dementia, he remained an endearing figure among Uki residents and it was through the sculpture that she hoped his legacy of volunteering will live on. “I just remember crying when I’d heard he had passed away in 2015,” Ms Rose said. “I thought this man needs to be remembered.” The community has since thrown their support behind the idea, with volunteers helping arrange the sculpture through fundraising and support from locals and local businesses. The sculpture will also include a plaque with separate handmade tiles dedicated to the many volunteers that have made Uki an amazing place to live and visit.
Uki resident and spokesperson Bruce Ray contacted The Weekly and said after considerable community consultation and reflection, the project grew in scope and vision. “It was obvious that Ken was not the only volunteer in Uki, so it was decided that the sculpture bear a plaque dedicated to all local volunteers, past, present and future,” he said. “The sculpture will be built in the memorial garden at the front of Uki School. “The concept of an annual “Volunteers Day” is now being entertained - a day to celebrate and appreciate the efforts of all local volunteers. “Nearly 20 volunteer organisations exist in Uki at present and our village would not be the same without them.” Many residents remember Mr Highfield as the man with the broom, who could be seen around Uki sweeping leaves. However, he was also a war veteran, farmer and dedicated local volunteer. The following information was provided by Mr Highfield’s family and documents part of his life. Mr Highfield, or Pommie as he became known, was born the small village of Firvale, Yorkshire England on March 22, 1916. His parents were Charles Henry and Edith and he had five siblings who have all passed away, they were Patty, George, Twins Harry and Ethel and the youngest Eric.
He left school at the age of 14 and after trying his hand at several roles he decided to follow his brother George, and emigrate to Australia. In 1934, aged 18, Pop left England on a cargo boat which took three weeks to travel from England to Fremantle then three weeks and four days from Fremantle to Brisbane. Pop spent his first night in Australia at Sid Hopkin’s farm at Commissioners Creek. The next day Pop started work at Mick Smith’s farm opposite the old Doon Doon turnoff. While living there he attended a church service along Tyalgum Creek Road and met his future wife Una Bailey. As Pop wasn’t very religious, when asked why he attended a church group, he replied that “there was nothing else to do”. George and Pop bought a dairy operation at Hopkins Creek. It was at this time that World War II had broken out and he enlisted in the army serving from July 9, 1940, until January 21, 1946, with the 2/4 Pioneer Battalion. He was in Darwin during the bombing and served oversees in Borneo. After he returned home he became a Justice of the Peace. Pop married Una Merle Bailey on April 26, 1947, at the Murwillumbah Baptist Church and they began their married life at Hopkins Creek. He was a member of the Murwillumbah Philharmonic Choir, became master of the Uki Masonic Lodge in 1952 and a member of Legacy from 1957.
Uki artist Marie-France Rose with the sculpture of Pommie
Bob Bale recalls that Pop always made sure that the Legacy children had shoes, paying for them from his own pocket. He enjoyed taking part in the musical skits performed by the Red Cross in the 1970s. Pop was the last master when the Uki Masonic Lodge closed in 1998. He was also a member of the Uki Manchester Unity Lodge and the Uki RSL. Pop undertook numerous volunteer roles over the years and once when he was painting the Uki Hall and the Red Cross were having a meeting he paid his money and joined them too.
In his later years he raked the school grounds and the Uki village and according to locals when asked why, he would reply: “Uki is my home” and that he wanted to give back to a community that had given him so much. For years Ken donated $50 each to the most improved girl and boy in year six at the end of year awards - a sign of his great generosity. As Pop aged sadly dementia set in for this proud and stubborn man and his role as caregiver was changed to that of having to receive care. Pop managed to live his last years in his beloved Uki by the devotion given to him by his caregiver Edie.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Tweed could join Byron’s push for a bed tax
Anneka Frayne of Stacks Law Firm said the case centred on a penniless eastern European woman who signed a pre-nup – or “prenuptial binding financial agreement” to give it the legal name – on the eve of her marriage to a wealthy Australian property developer. “The couple had met through a website that offered potential brides. Seven months after the contact she moved to Australia to marry the man twice her age who had assets worth about $24 million,” Ms Frayne said. “But just before the wedding the man – given the pseudonym Mr Kennedy by the court – told her she would have to sign a pre-nup. He said his money was for his three adult children, and if she didn’t sign the wedding was off.” Speaking little English and with no other support in Australia, she signed the agreement that would entitle her to nothing if the marriage lasted less than three years, and just $50,000 if it lasted more than three years. As required by law, she had received independent legal advice before signing. The lawyer told her it was a “terrible” agreement and not to sign it. “But she felt she had no choice and signed. Four months after the wedding they separated. Three years later the marriage was over. She took him to court seeking the pre-nup be overturned and a settlement of $1.24 million.” Mr Kennedy died, but his estate, with two of his children as executors, continued fighting her claim for a bigger share of his wealth. The Federal Court found in her favour on the basis that the pre-nup was conducted under duress. The estate appealed to the Full Court of the Family Court of Australia, where it won. She appealed, and the case went to the High Court. “The High Court decided that the agreement should be set aside for “unconscionable conduct”, as she signed it under duress, putting her at a distinct disadvantage. “It was that duress that made the pre-nup unenforceable in the High Court’s eyes. It demonstrates that the law requires pre-nups to be fair. “In legal thinking, pre-nuptial or binding financial agreements are like a contract between individuals and therefore involve not only principles of family law but also contract law, succession law and equity. The High Court decision shows these agreements still have to be fair and can’t just be imposed on the weaker partner. The decision puts the whole notion of pre-nups on shaky ground. Couples who want peace of mind regarding the division of their assets if their relationship fails would be well advised to consider whether a pre-nup is the best way to document their intentions. There are other options and it’s worth seeking out a lawyer with particular experience in this specialist area.” comment

Federal and State Government to implement a “booking tax or tariff” upon online accommodation brokers that have listings located on residential land. “The supply side of this market is responding to a rapid growth of properties advertised online for this type of accommodation and shortterm rental stays are often described as an affordable alternative to a hotel or motel, particularly with larger family groups,” Mayor Milne’s motion reads. “Short-term rental accommodation brings both challenges and opportunities, particularly in areas, cities and regions recognised as attractive tourist destinations. “The challenges include impacts on housing affordability, availability of rental properties and impacts on amenity of residential neighbourhoods.” YOUR THOUGTHS: Do you believe Tweed Shire could benefit from a bed tax to aid with road and infrastructure cost placed on ratepayers?

TWEED SHIRE Councillors have voted to take the next step to prohibit future applications for commercial water extraction and bottling on rural land at their recent Planning Meeting (December 7). Commercial water extraction and bottling operations are currently allowed with Council approval under the Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014 (LEP) after a clause was added in 2016. Council’s proposal to the Department of Planning and Environment seeks to remove this clause from the LEP which would prevent any future applications from being approved. A report was prepared for councillors that outlined the number of commercial water extraction and bottling operations located on rural land throughout the Tweed Shire. Ten operations were identified along with a further two awaiting approval at Dungay Creek Road, Dungay, and 350 Rowlands Creek Road, Rowlands Creek.
The majority of water extraction and bottling facilities were approved between 10 to 20 years ago, with the first in 1991, and a further three located at Nobbys Creek, Kunghur and Mooball approved in 2006. An operation at Geles Road, Burringbar, was the most recent approval (2011), which is permitted to extract up to 20 megalitres per year. Councillors debated whether a savings clause should be included in the LEP amendment, meaning the applications at Dungay and Rowlands Creek Road that are under review could still be approved since they were submitted prior to the LEP change. Council staff recommended the savings clause be included in the LEP amendment due to the risk of legal action from these applicants. They also warned the amendment may not be approved by the Department of Planning and Environment since the LEP was already amended in 2016 and now Council is seeking to remove this clause. Council will need to provide strong justification as to why the LEP needs to be changed again.
Councillors James Owen and Warren Polglase suggested that Council seeks further legal advice before the proposal is submitted, however their amendment was lost, and the original motion to lodge the planning proposal was won. Further legal advice will be sought in relation to the savings clause and a priority workshop for councillors will be held once this advice has been received. Jeremy Tager of the Tweed Water Alliance, who have fiercely campaigned to reduce water extraction throughout the Tweed Shire, said the decision is an “enormous win for the people of the Tweed”. He also said the Tweed Water Alliance does not support the inclusion of a savings clause. “The Tweed Water Alliance supports including these applications in the prohibition on water mining. The Tweed Water alliance recommends they be refused,” he said. “Whatever expenses Council incurs in refusing these applications will be far less than the cost of these developments proceeding.

Pre-nuptial agreements appear to be on shaky legal ground after a landmark decision last month by the High Court of Australia.
“We need to explore and implement processes to raise revenue that go beyond simply requesting locals pay more. “Council had no alternative but to seek revenue from locals, now, we need to obtain more financial support from the visitors who use our infrastructure to assist the community to work on Council’s infrastructure backlog of $40 million.” Bed taxes are common throughout the world where major tourism destinations such as Paris, Barcelona and Rome charge anywhere between 50 cents to $10 per night. Mayor Richardson said the tax has had “minimal negative impact on visitation numbers and/or expenditure” and Byron Council has estimated a bed tax could raise around $200,000 per year. Mayor Milne said in her report to councillors that Council should support Byron Council in trialling the proposed bed tax. A motion has already been put forward by Council during the recent Annual Local Government NSW Conference in Sydney, to lobby the

Pre-nups shaky after High Court decision
TWEED SHIRE Council could join Byron Shire Council in campaigning for a tourism accommodation levy, or bed tax, that would help bring extra funds to help maintain the shire’s roads and other infrastructure. Byron Council has been advocating for a bed tax for several years, with a renewed push this year on the back of rising tourism numbers and increasing pressure on the shire’s 15,000 ratepayers to mount the cost of maintaining infrastructure such as roads. Mayor of Byron Simon Richardson recently wrote to Tweed Shire Council requesting their support for a bed tax trial that would need to be approved by the State Government and where Byron and Tweed could act as trial locations. “Though grateful for the jobs and economic opportunities that tourism provides; for a Shire with only 32,000 residents and just 15,000 ratepayers, Council and our community are straining under the enormous weight of an extra 2.1 million extra people a year (and greater growth expected to come),” Mayor Richardson said.

THE NSW Labor party has slammed the State Government’s plans to spend $2.5 billion on Sydney stadiums calling the move “Sydney-centric”, and in what State Labor Leader Luke Foley said would be better spent on areas such as the Tweed school maintenance backlog. NSW Labor Leader Luke Foley joined Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot and Shadow Minister for the North Coast Walt Secord to highlight the Berejiklian-Barilaro Government’s “misguided priorities” and said the “Tweed was missing out”. Mr Foley visited Tweed Heads South Public School on Monday, December 11, which he highlighted as having a maintenance backlog of $255,546. While across the Tweed electorate the school maintenance backlog is $5.7 million with Kingscliff High School’s backlog standing at a massive $818,792. “The maintenance backlog alone could be cleared 432 times by the budget for the knockdown and rebuild of Sydney stadiums, which received the full support of the Nationals,” Mr Foley said. “Across the North Coast thousands of children are being taught in 137
demountables. There are eight schools at 100 percent capacity.” Mr Foley said schools on the North Coast will be left to suffer under the Liberal and National Government’s “out of touch” decision to commit an obscene amount of money to knocking down and rebuilding Sydney stadiums. “This arrogant decision will also rob funds from the region’s hospitals which are already at breaking point.” However, Member for Tweed Geoff Provest has hit back at the claims saying $2 million has already been allocated to the Tweed Shire schools backlog, and work should begin during the Christmas holidays. “I would also point out that the Liberal National NSW Government have instead reduced Labor’s backlog for schools by 25 per cent,” Mr Provest said. “A record amount has been allocated to the Tweed Shire for the backlog and residents will start to see works commence once schools are on holidays and more announced in early 2018.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe $2.5 billion of State Government funding should be spent on Sydney stadiums?

Politicians battle over police numbers or *Gifts f ets All Budg In On Sale !! W Store NO
A POLITICAL fight is brewing over police numbers across the Tweed Shire with local and visiting MPs at loggerheads over the need to increase officer numbers as well as addressing a shortage of police presence across the Tweed Valley. NSW Labor leader Luke Foley joined Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot and Shadow Minister for the North Coast Walt Secord at Tweed Heads on Monday, December 11, to highlight what they said was the “Berejiklian Government’s failure to boost police numbers in the Tweed”. The Labor Party pointed to official NSW Police data that revealed that since February 2012, the Tweed-Byron Local Area Command has suffered a reduction in police numbers by 33 police officers. “In 2012, NSW Police numbers were at 198 for the Tweed-Byron LAC, but under the Berejiklian Government police number have dropped to 165,” Mr Foley said. “The drop has occurred despite the official opening of the new Tweed Police Station and promises by Nationals Member for Tweed Geoff Provest to increase police numbers.” NSW Labor expressed concern that police numbers were dropping in spite of

community concern about violence and iceuse across the North Coast. Shadow Minister for the North Coast Walt Secord called on Mr Provest to explain why his Government had overseen a dramatic reduction in the number of police officers in the Tweed Byron Local Area Command. Mrs Elliot also called on Nationals MP Geoff Provest to stand up to the LiberalNational State Government who are spending $2.5 billion on Sydney stadiums instead of police officers in the Tweed. “It is strange that the Berejiklian Government can find more than $2.5 billion for stadiums in Sydney, but then fails to provide proper funding for police officers,” she said. Member for Tweed Shire Geoff Provest refuted comments made by the Labor Party and said police numbers were beginning to increase across the Tweed Shire, with five new probationary constables announced last week plus more to follow in early 2018. “Not only have we built a new state-ofthe-art police headquarters at Tweed Heads, but we’re soon to complete the new Water Police facility which will also increase officer numbers,” he said. “The new NSW Police Commissioner is currently working on reallocating around 400 officers across the state in a move that will put more officers on the beats in regional areas. “The Tweed also has an extremely high success rate when it comes to convictions following arrests, with 87 per cent of criminals convicted which is testament to the hard work of our local police.” Mr Provest said policing can be an “extremely challenging profession”. “Our officers encounter the best and the worst of humanity in the line of duty, so I’m very pleased that our community will benefit from the enthusiasm of five new officers starting their career on the beat with more to come,” Mr Provest said.

Solar rebates are set to decrease
Australian households and businesses continue to embrace solar energy at a rapid pace in a bid to avoid rising electricity costs. The STC delivers real upfront savings to Aussies moving towards renewable energy and is not to be confused with the feed it tariff that is an ongoing discount determined by your electricity retailer (that’s a story for another day). So just what is an STC and why do you need them right now? Understanding the federal STC rebate The federal government currently offers a financial incentive designed to encourage Australian homes, businesses and community groups to take up solar in a bid to meet our renewable energy target by 2030. This incentive comes in the form of an STC (Small scale Technology Certificate) which is applied directly to the solar system at the time of installation. As the end user, you do not need to pay up front or claim any money back, you are not out of pocket, the incentive is built in to your upfront cost of your solar system.

Under the governments Renewable Energy Target scheme (RET), the current STC calculation will reduce again at the end of the year and will do so each year until it is phased out in 2030, so if you’ve been considering solar, now is the time to act. Today, the STC incentive for a 6.6kW system is just shy of $4,200.00, fast forward to January and the annualisation of the STC scheme has come into effect and this will have dropped significantly to around $3,890.00, dependant on the STC value, that’s a difference of $400 in a matter of months.

To secure the current STC price, it’s worth that noting your solar system must be installed and operational before the 31st of December, taking into account that solar just doesn’t happen overnight. By the time you’ve signed your contract, its then over to the supply authority to apply for a grid connect, and this can take anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks, and then there’s installation and finally operation. From the time you sign, to the time your STC’s take effect, you will need to allow a period of eight weeks, so don’t delay, ACT NOW and save yourself some serious money before the December 31st deadline.

CHRISTMAS AND the festive season can be a difficult time for many in the Tweed and residents are being encouraged to help those in need through the annual Mayoral Christmas Appeal. Mayor of Tweed Shire Council Katie Milne has chosen Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers and homeless support groups You Have a Friend and Fred’s Place as the three charities needing support this year. “Christmas is a beautiful time to show our love and generosity to family and friends, but it’s also important to remember that many of our residents are struggling badly, and many species in our Shire are on the brink of extinction,” Mayor Milne said. “It’s easy to get wrapped up in the joy of the moment and forget that others are doing it tough. The annual Mayoral Christmas/ New Year Appeal is a reminder that others need our help - including our injured wildlife Even a small gesture will make the world of difference to those less fortunate.” Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers rescue and rehabilitate native fauna and return them to their natural environment as well as advocating for conservation and welfare of our local wildlife. The organisation received 2000 calls in the last financial year (1000 of these as a result of wildlife hit by vehicles), rescued 775 animals and released 540 animals back into their natural environment. Fred’s Place, a St Vincent de Paul Society facility, is located in Tweed Heads, offering support services for people who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. You Have a Friend supports the homeless, marginalised and single parents and their children, providing 300 meals a week on the streets in the Tweed area and Coolangatta. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics data, in 2011 there were an estimated 308 homeless people in Tweed

Kingscliff possible site for new hospital
AN ANNOUNCEMENT for the location of the new Tweed hospital is expected to be made in early 2018, with west Kingscliff a possible option in what Member for Tweed Shire Geoff Provest said would give the site room to grow. While the specific site has not yet been announced, Mr Provest said Kingscliff could provide the best outcome for both space and accessibility. “We’re very close to announcing the new hospital site,” he said. “You can expect the announcement in January and follows extensive work by a task force who investigated 30 sites across the Tweed Shire and narrowed it down to just two.” Meanwhile, independent data from the Bureau of Health Information (BHI) released last week shows emergency departments across the Northern Rivers are under enormous pressure. During the July to September quarter Murwillumbah’s emergency department saw an additional 444 patients (4386 in total), whilst The Tweed Hospital saw a record 13,000 patients, a five per cent increase on the same time last year. Under increasing pressure the number of patients treated within recommended time frames at both Tweed and Murwillumbah hospitals has reduced, where emergency presentations that should be seen within 10 minutes have reduced by three percentage points to 77 per cent at Murwillumbah and almost three percentage points to 80 per cent at Tweed. Category three patients that are recommended to be seen within 30 minutes reduced by five percentage points to 85 per cent at Murwillumbah Hospital and by seven percentage points
to 72 per cent at The Tweed Hospital. The unprecedented number of emergency presentations at The Tweed Hospital saw 22 per cent of patients waiting longer than the recommended time of four hours, while 12 per cent of patients at Murwillumbah had to wait more than four hours. Hospital admissions were also up over the quarter at The Tweed Hospital with a 10 per cent increase in admissions whilst Murwillumbah Hospital had a 0.5 per cent decrease. Non acute admissions accounted for the majority of the admissions rise, more than doubling to 303 and the length of stay for non-acute admissions almost doubled from 5.5 days to 10.8 days. Surgery wait times were down at the Tweed Hospital where patients waited one day less for both urgent (11 days) and non-urgent surgeries (245 days), and nine days less for semi-urgent surgeries. Patients are waiting on average 27 days longer for non urgent surgery (338 days) at Murwillumbah Hospital and two days longer for both urgent (14 days) and semi-urgent (43 days). Both hospitals are performing their surgeries within recommended time frames with Murwillumbah Hospital retaining its perfect record of 100 per cent and The Tweed Hospital achieving 100 per cent for urgent surgeries and 97 and 98 per cent respectively for semiurgent and non-urgent surgeries. The eye surgery blowout at Murwillumbah Hospital has improved over the past year with the number of patients waiting for surgery reducing by more than 100 from 500 to 396, however the wait time increased by 11 days to 341 days. In the quarter Murwillumbah Hospital
performed nine less elective surgeries (432) while The Tweed Hospital performed an additional 34 surgeries (913). Despite an increase of almost 30 per cent of patients waiting for Orthopaedic surgery at Murwillumbah Hospital, total knee replacement waiting times reduced from 260 to 70 days and were performed in 85 days at The Tweed Hospital. Total hip replacement waiting times reduced by 11 to 48 days at The Tweed Hospital. NSW Shadow Health Minister and Minister for the North Coast Walt Secord slammed NSW National Party MPs Geoff Provest (Tweed) and Thomas George (Lismore) for their decision to support the expenditure of more than $2.5 billion on sporting stadiums in Sydney, when the health and hospital system was under enormous pressure. “Nationals MPs Geoff Provest and Thomas George need to explain to the community why North Coast patients face waits of almost a year for cataract removal and knee and hip replacement surgery,” Mr Secord said. “Sadly, patients on the North Coast wait at every stage in NSW. They wait for an ambulance; they wait outside the emergency department and they wait inside the emergency department. They wait for a bed and then they are discharged early to make room for other patients.” State Opposition Leader Luke Foley said he does not “support this obscene amount of money being spent on a couple of Sydney stadiums” instead of hospitals. “This money should go to schools and hospitals in the North Coast; they come first and will always do so under a Labor government,” Mr Foley said.
Westpac donates funds to Tweed Pallative Support
Tweed Palliative Support volunteers
TWEED PALLIATIVE Support has this week been awarded a $10,000 grant by the Westpac Foundation 200 Community Grants program. The programs run by Tweed Palliative Support in Dulguigan support people living with a life-limiting illness and their families. The organisation has a particular focus on the disadvantaged, such as homeless, disabled and Indigenous patients and offers its palliative services free of charge to these groups. Tweed Palliative Support president Meredith Dennis said the charity, palliative clients and their families are so grateful to the Westpac Foundation for this grant, which will go towards purchasing hospice medical equipment. “We have a target of ten portable oxygen concentrators for the hospice which help end-of-life clients breathe more easily in their final days,” Ms Dennis said. “We are totally reliant on business and community support and now we have been able to purchase two of these devices.” In 2017, a total of $540,000 has been awarded to 54 organisations in New South Wales who take a fresh approach to addressing social problems Safia Deen, Westpac Regional General Manager North Coast, said the increase in this year’s funding showed Westpac’s commitment to support all Australians and not-for-profit organisations who are addressing social issues in their local community. “Westpac Foundation was one of the first philanthropic organisations in Australia to develop a grant program specifically to support social enterprises,” she said. “We are proud to continue that work and double the amount of funding in our 200th year in business.”

Redkite CEO, Jenni Seton, said the Redkite and Coles Dare to Dream Scholarships could change young lives. “Each year we are inspired by the calibre and strength of the applications we receive. This year we have seen an increase in the number of applications from last year, which demonstrates that there is a real need within the young adult community for career and study support after cancer treatment,” Ms Seton said. “Young people tell us that a scholarship is a real vote of confidence in their plans for the future, and we are proud to be able to help them build their best possible education and career pathways. “Thanks to Coles team members and customers, we have been able to continue this important program for five years. We simply wouldn’t have been able to do this without them.”

CANCER SURVIVOR Caitlan Ambrose is making plans to become a registered nurse after she successfully secured a grant in the 2017 Redkite and Coles Dare to Dream Scholarship to help fund her university fees. Caitlin was diagnosed with Ewings sarcoma when she was 20 years old, and is still undergoing treatment, said the $2000 scholarship will relieve significant pressure on her ability to become a nurse and help make a difference in the lives of others, especially in the paediatric oncology field. “Before cancer I was living out of home with my friends and studying to become a nurse,” she said. “My cancer diagnosis stopped all of that. This scholarship will help me get my life back on track.” Caitlin said without the scholarship, completing her studies would be a lot more stressful. Redkite has awarded 34 scholarships to young Australians aged 15 to 24 years old who are being treated for cancer or are living with its impact. Now in its fifth year, the Redkite and Coles Dare to Dream Scholarship program encourages teens and young adults to pursue their education, career or life dreams that have been sidelined because of undergoing cancer treatment. In addition to the 26 state recipients who each received $2000, five national finalists have been awarded $3000 and three national winners received $5000 to put towards their dream. Coles Managing Director, John Durkan, who was a judge on the scholarship panel, said Coles was pleased to support Redkite’s scholarship program which gave young people an opportunity to follow their dreams. “We’re proud to help support inspiring young people like Caitlin in cities and towns across New South Wales and provide them with an opportunity to pursue their goals and

Anger over delays to Anchorage Island Boardwalk MEMBERS OF the Save Our Boardwalk Group at Tweed Heads have expressed frustration over delays to the reopening of the Anchorage Island boardwalk and group secretary Richard Murray has called on Tweed Shire Council to act “immediately”. Mr Murray recently wrote to local media outlining the history of the boardwalk issue including his fears that the boardwalk could face further delays into 2018. “In a letter dated December 4, 2017, the Natural Resource Management of Tweed Shire Council advised residents and members of the Save Our Boardwalk group that the tender for the boardwalk replacement was issued on November 29. That tender closes on December 20, 2017,” Mr Murray wrote. “The slow progress in replacing our ageing boardwalk now extends well beyond July 2018. Following the announcement by Geoff Provest MP on June 24, 2017, that funding of $685,000 had been provided to replace our ageing boardwalk, Tweed Shire Council’s Media Release of June 26, 2017, advised: “A tender for design and construction will go out in the next few months, with council seeking solutions for the longest life of the new structure, as well as environmental benefits. Construction of the boardwalk should start by the end of the year.”” Council’s General Manager Troy Green sought to address resident concerns highlighting the complex nature of the boardwalk which he said risked closing for good. “At Council, we were excited to have
received an announcement from the State Government to support the longer-term option of upgrading the boardwalk to ensure its longevity into the longer-term future,” Mr Green said. “Without this funding, I fear that the boardwalk would have ultimately needed to close. “The announcement by the State Government was made in June. Under the terms of the agreement no works are able to be progressed until formal offer and acceptance which occurred in August. “Council immediately commenced work on approvals at this time. “The process involved with the creation of the Review of Environmental Factors has been completed, supporting the Part V application, and Council staff have held various discussions with Fisheries around their approval requirements and potential concerns. “The Conceptual Design, Technical Specification, Limitations and Restrictions on Contractor’s methodology and Geotechnical information has been put to the market as a Tender Package.” Mr Murray said it has now been since May 2016 that “dismayed residents’, tourists and visitors have been long denied the use of this valued boardwalk”. “Pending replacement of our boardwalk, it is now time for Council to immediately repair and reopen the boardwalk, following their delay in seeking all government agency approvals,” he said. Mr Green pointed out that the construction process will be complex, due to the presence of a large seagrass bed in the immediate
vicinity of the existing structure. “Seagrass within the subject site is also habitat to the green turtle (with a turtle having been observed at the site by Council staff), a NSW and Commonwealth threatened species,” he said. “As a result, any impacts to seagrass could warrant further assessment in accordance with the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act and the assessment guidelines for Matters of National Environmental Significance. “Avoiding harm to seagrass is an absolute priority in the design and construction planning phase of the project. “To address the environmental constraints, we will call for project tenders in separable portions, first design – then construction.” Mr Green said the process will be rolled out in four stages with construction commencing June/July 2018. “If Council were to proceed with the minor remediation option rejected previously it would likely allow the structure to be reopened by the end of February, only to be closed in June / July at a cost of many thousands of dollars and Council accepting a considerable risk in reopening a structure on deficient foundations,” he said. “It is unlikely that Council’s Insurer would accept Council doing this, and any investigation may lead to delays of the project. “Any remedial works would require already stretched resources in both Engineering and Natural Resource Management to be diverted. “The staff are already heavily time constrained to deliver at least a further $19

million in flood remediation works by June 2019. “I have engaged additional resources, but it is not time nor cost effective to do patch up works on a structure that is to be rebuilt. “Diversion of resources also runs the risk of the bigger end project being further deferred and the possibility of a loss of grant funds. “To deliver the many competing projects we need to do so with the best long-term vision possible, taking advantage of external grant funds to ease the burden on ratepayers and at times experience some short term inconveniences so that the limited funds and resources we have can be best applied to the longer term vision and end product.”

Local News 19
Adopt your forever friend this Christmas FRIENDS OF the Pound is calling on families to adopt a forever friend this Christmas as they reflect on a strong year of rehoming cats and dogs in 2017. Friends of the Pound (FoP) spokesperson Pam Price said it had been a good year for FoP with the number of dogs and cats rehomed this year remaining strong. “64 foster dogs and 12 private rehoming dogs were adopted,” she said. “While dogs still in foster care total 15.” “Cats fostered this year totalled 195 foster cats rehomed, while many cats are still waiting to be rehomed at 121.” Mrs Price said the year started out like many other years and the demand was high for FoP to rescue cats and dogs from the pound. “On the other hand, the demand for adoptions of
rescued dogs and cats was also high,” she said. “From February onwards with some peaks and troughs due to school holidays, Christmas etc, but once the holiday period was over the demand for adoptions was back on track.” Mrs Price said FoP’s venture into the Tweed Shire Pound was deemed to be unsustainable by both FoP and Tweed Shire Council. “But our faithful supporters from the Tweed Shire have found casual face to face contact difficult especially in the situation of purchasing a desexing voucher or dropping off donated goods,” she said. “However, FoP has found a new location in Corporation Circuit, Tweed Heads South. “The purchase should be finalised this month and occupation should take place in March 2018.”
Isla is a very sweet kitten who will warm easily to kindness. Isla is best as the only pet in an adult family, no small children please
FoP also operated several low cost desexing programs in July with some financial support from RSPCA (Tweed) with 113 dogs and cats desexed in the July program. “After considering the logistics of our clientel accessing our desexing voucher services FoP have now created an online desexing voucher for those who cannot access our services at our Elanora location,” she said. “The move to Elanora limited our income but our expenses remained high and personal donations were down as we were no longer visible in the Tweed Shire.” Ms Price said FoP is also fundraising through a recently launched 2018 calendar featuring stunning photos of cats and dogs that have been successfully rehomed through Friends of the Pound.
Lily is a six-year-old desexed female foxy cross. She is an active, affectionate little dog who just wants someone to love
The Santa Pet Photos held at Patbarn, Tweed Heads South, were also a big success said Ms Price. “Thanks to our regular followers and Petbarn Tweed, this major fundraiser was a huge success with many satisfied people and their pets,” she said. This year we had dogs, cats and rats along with their families who came in for a lovely photo with Santa.” How to get involved and become a FoP volunteer? Residents can join FoP either online www.friendsofthepound. com or in person at the Cat Adoption Centre, The Pines Shopping Centre. Calendars can be purchased online or at one of Friend of the Pound’s supporters’ business locations in the shire.
Puss Puss was orphaned when his lady died. He is a nice old cat who likes to sleep and eat. Puss Puss is best as an only pet
Barry, through trust and kindness is now a different cat, he enjoys the company of adults but best as the only pet. No children as Barry can play rough
Fifi is a two-year-old desexed female silky terrier. She is a delightful little dog, full of life who ideally needs an active owner
Jess is a 12-year-old desexed female English Staffy. She is active, loves the beach and gets on well with other dogs

Special Feature...
How to Zero Your Power Bill - and Stay Connected to the Grid On the 1st July power prices increased by 20% in NSW. Solar Feed in Tariffs doubled. In this special report you will find out how you can get the most benefit from solar power on your house and minimise the impact of higher power prices.
If You Use Less Than 10 kWh per Day...
Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels to Eliminate your power bill
With Feed in tariffs at 12-16c you can now sell power back to the grid as part of a strategy to minimise and eliminate power charges completely. Production from 2.5 kW of solar - about 10 panels - will offset the dreaded electricity supply charge when all the generated power is exported. You now get half as much for the power you sell as it costs you to buy from the grid. If you export enough, the rest of your power charges can be eliminated. This strategy is ideal for retirees or small households.
If You Use 10-25 kWh per Day...
Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels and Batteries if Export is Limited If Essential Energy will let you export 5 kWh or more to the grid, then stacking your roof with as many solar panels as possible will work well for you. If export is limited, consider storing extra power in a battery bank for night time use. A combination of solar for export, self use maximised during the day and battery storage is a great strategy to bring your bill closer to zero for medium households with 3-4 people.
If You Use More Than 25 kWh per Day... Install 8+ kW of Solar Panels and Solar Batteries Export 5 kWh to the grid, use as much as you can during the day and store power for night time use in a larger bank of solar batteries. Power prices are expected to rise by another 50% in the next 2 years, so everything you put in now will work even better in the years to come. Get a free energy plan from 888 Solar Tek because every home is different and you need help to get your solar system sized right and working perfectly.
Solar Batteries Ensure You Never Have Blackouts in the Storm Season
Solar Rebate to Drop in 2018 But Don’t Panic!
Every year, for the next 14 years, the value of subsidies for new installations of solar panels will fall. The payment is made based on the installation date, so many solar companies are getting people into a panic to sign up now or miss out. The incremental decrease is about $300 less for a 6 kW solar system installed after 31st Dec 2017.
Don’t Panic! 888 Solar Tek will pay the full 2017 rebate for any system ORDERED before 31st of Dec 2017 regardless of install date.
You also get 2 Extra Panels Free with any Solar System
Until the 22nd Decemebr 2017, 888 Solar Tek will add two extra panels to each New solar system ordered for FREE! You get 2 extra 270 Watt, tier 1 Seraphim solar panels - over half a kW more power with our highest quality Seraphim panels - the first panel in the world to ever pass the Photon Labs independent torture test. You will also receive FREE solar WiFi monitoring, setup on your phone, tablet or computer & expert tuition on how to get the most from your solar system.

Murwillumbah East
Public School Be Safe

Our wonderful staff at Murwillumbah East are not only very talented teachers, they are also incredibly crea�ve. A great example of this could be seen last week when our stage one students completed a unit of work discovering informa�on about dinosaurs. The conclusion of the work was a “Dino Day”. Our school hall was transformed into a world of dinosaurs and dinosaur themed ac�vi�es. Students could read to a dinosaur, have a turn at guessing how many of the prehistoric beasts were in a jar, have their photo taken as a dinosaur and dance to some Jurassic music! Dinosaurs made by the students from recycled materials were proudly on display. The ac�vi�es were followed by a delicious dinosaur themed feast. The students had a terri�c �me with their friends and teachers pu�ng their dinosaur knowledge to the test and sharing lots of fun ac�vi�es.
AUTHOR AND Guide Dogs Australia community advocate Bev Larsson has won the overall prize at this year’s Tweed Shire Access and Inclusion Awards. Ms Larsson was unable to attend the function, held at Twin Towns, because she was at a Guide Dogs Australia event in Sydney and in a video acceptance speech screened at the awards night, she said she hadn’t looked back since receiving her guide dog Henry. “I’m extremely delighted to receive the award,” she said. “It’s been absolutely fantastic having him in my life - the independence, the freedom - and it’s motivated me to spread the word about the organisation.” Ms Larsson visits schools with her book Along Came Henry and was recently appointed as an inspirational speaker for Guide Dogs Australia. “When we go to the schools it’s a lot of fun. The kids really enjoy understanding more about his ability, his limitations and how we met,” she said. “In that sense I hope I’m dispelling the myth about disability and brining people closer to understanding that visual impairment is just something you learn to live with. It might
limit your ability but it doesn’t create too many barriers.” Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre, a previous overall winner, and South Tweed Touch Footy were also finalists for the top honour. This year’s awards featured a new Dementia Friendly Community category, as the annual awards sought to turn greater attention to the condition. The Dementia Action Group was the inaugural recipient of the new category, for providing community education to businesses to register as Dementia Friendly Community supporters. Guest speaker and Dementia Australia spokesperson Trevor Crosby said dementia is a “natural disaster running unchecked, out of control in Australia”. “I liken this situation to a bushfire raging out of control, which would be declared a natural disaster and the appropriate funding allocated,” he said. This year’s Belonging Award was won by Cudgen Surf Life Saving Club for its inclusive Nippers Program. Kingscliff’s Mockingbird Cafe and its hospitality employment training was presented with the Advocacy Award.

We hold fundraising dinners, drinks and nibbles evenings, garage sales, auctions, market stalls and we still collect old working smart phones and laptops to be sold in India. “We are always looking for folk to help us with sponsorship and if four people join together to help a needy child in Nepal it can cost as little as $4 per week each to provide a home with a warm bed, good food, clean clothes and an education with a future.” Mr Bellamy said several people have joined the trips to Nepal and even more have joined their twice yearly visits to India. “In October this year a group of nine headed to the Indian Himalayas to experience the work we do there, including a 15-year-old and an 81-year-old,” he said. “A fantastic experience was had by all and all visitors are involved in some way in future projects. “Our aim is to help as many kids as possible in India and Nepal to have a decent education and to get sponsorship for those children that otherwise would be begging on the streets or worse. “So many of these children have had a very traumatic start to life and many are suffering from malnutrition and abuse.” To find out more about Pencil Tree phone: 0413 888 790.

SIX GRADUATES from Mount St Patrick College in Murwillumbah have recently returned from an eye-opening charity trip to Nepal in what’s been dubbed their second schoolies or as the students like to call it “Nepalies”. The students were accompanied by local teacher, Jim Smith, who is part of Cabarita charity Pencil Tree, who supply school supplies for children in India and Nepal, as well as parents of a group that visited last year. The students visited the sights of Kathmandu and enjoyed trekking in the mountains as well as spending valuable time with children at one of the homes supported by Pencil Tree near Pokhara. Pencil Tree founder Steve Bellamy said the trip was an amazing experience for all involved. “The Pencil Tree is a registered charity and is based in Cabarita Beach and we supply remote mountain schools in northern India with educational supplies such as student packs containing pencils, pens, exercise books, blackboards, swing sets, sporting equipment and more,” he said. “We also support the kids at a slum community in the region and sponsor seven little ones at a Tibetan run children’s home.” Mr Bellamy said Pencil Tree also sponsor eight children at a Nepalese children’s home. “And we are involved in assisting many young people with their educational needs

1. Shields From Harmful UV Rays: The continuously depleting ozone layer has put us at a higher risk of getting affected from the harmful rays of the sun. While you do need the sun for your daily dose of Vitamin D, it does not mean that you should put your health at risk! Applying sunscreen actually blocks these harmful rays from penetrating the skin and triggering skin cancers. 2. Prevents Premature Aging Sunscreen shields your skin from developing signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines. Studies reveal that people under the age of 55 who used sunscreen had 24% less chance of developing these aging signs than non-sunscreen users.

3. Lowers Skin Cancer Risks Wear your sunscreen daily to shield your skin from the risk of various types of skin cancer, especially, melanoma. This is the worst type of skin cancers, which can be life threatening . How Often to Use Sunscreens? Sunscreens act as a shield against the harmful UV rays .It is therefore advisable to use sunscreen everyday. You may not notice the benefits now, but the advantage of using sunscreen is felt in the long run. If you are out in the sun for a long time either working or enjoying the weather, it is better to reapply sunscreen every two hours to protect your skin from sunburns.

The birth of Jesus and meaning of Christmas
MORE THAN 2,010 years ago a young woman named Mary from the town of Nazareth in the northern district of Israel was visited by an angel named Gabriel. Gabriel told Mary that she would give birth to a son named Jesus and that he would be the Son of God. At this time, Mary was engaged to Joseph. However, Joseph struggled to believe Mary’s story until the angel Gabriel visited Joseph and told him that Mary would be pregnant from the Lord and that she would have a son named Jesus, who would save the people from their sins. Mary and Joseph had to travel to Bethlehem because of an order from the Roman emperor that a census, or record, of all people be taken in their hometown. After traveling pregnant on a donkey for several days, Mary and Joseph arrived in
Bethlehem and were told there were no places to stay. Mary was due to give birth at any moment and an owner of an inn told Joseph that they could stay in his stable. Mary and Joseph settled down on the hay in a stable with animals sleeping. Mary went into labor and Jesus was born. The only place for the sleeping baby to rest was most likely in the animal’s trough, known as the manger. During this time, an angel appeared to shepherds who were watching their flocks in the fields near Bethlehem. The angel told them the good news of the birth of the Saviour and Messiah, Jesus Christ. The shepherds immediately went to find baby Jesus, which the angels told them they would find sleeping in the manger. After some time, three wise men, saw the
brilliant star in that sky that rested over where Jesus was born. The three wise men travelled from a far eastern country to find the new born. During the wise men’s trip, Herod the king of Judah, met with the wise men and told them to come back and let him know where the baby was so that he could go worship him as well. The wise men continued to Bethlehem and found Jesus right where the star pointed. They knelt and worshipped the saviour and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They then travelled back home a different way knowing that King Herod was not intending to worship Jesus but that he planned to kill the baby. Today we celebrate the birth of Jesus at Christmas time.

When you think of the phrase, “Christmas is coming!” . . what sort of emotion does it stir up? Panic: I only have a few days of shopping before Christmas. I’m never going to get it all done! Frustration: There are so many things to do this month. We are going to be running all over the place with very little time to just be together as a family at home, enjoying each other’s company. Regret: Why did I say we’d host the family get-together? Now I have to straighten and clean this place from top to bottom AND make the dessert I signed up to provide, as if I didn’t already have enough to do this month. So many sentiments can invade our hearts and minds. All of these thoughts can prevent us from experiencing the joy that should come from the whole reason for the celebration of Christmas in the first place. Or should we choose the attitude reflected in the old familiar hymn, Joy to the World? Today, let’s chase down some Christmas cheer. But not just keep it to ourselves. Parking our minds on the truth of the Christmas message of salvation through Jesus helps us show joy to the world during the Christmas season. A spotless house and homemade fruitcake are optional. After a difficult year of floods and loss, our finances may be tight or non-existent, our stress levels high or the pressure to be at everything overwhelming, it is not easy to get ready for Christmas.
Christmas Mass Times: Christmas Eve Vigil Sunday 24th December 7:00 pm Sacred Heart Church Christmas Day: Monday 25th December 8:00 am Sacred Heart Church
The struggle to stay focused on our faith journey is very hard, but the time spent in preparation for Christmas is well worth it. We move very deliberately from the secular to the sacred even when everybody else is going in the other direction. When we focus on the preparation for Christmas message we begin to deepen our relationship with God and the Holy Family in a very profound way. Mary, Jesus Mother, reminds of us of simplicity, the value of family, love and nurture. Joseph, Jesus earthly father, teaches and reminds of gentle determination in the face of difficulties, he also reminds us of the deep love of a father for his family. Jesus reminds us that he came to live among us to teach us to live simply, well and to above all love God and neighbour.
During this Christmas Season, may our hearts be filled with the love and peace that Christ brings to our lives. Fr. Anthony Lemon
May God bless you richly and gently as you and your families journey towards the holy feast of Christmas.
78855
A tall order at this time of year, St Ignatius of Loyola teaches us that time spent in prayer and quiet can change the direction of our lives. We will find ourselves waiting in lines or queues many times in the next few weeks. That could be an opportunity to have a quick chat to God and ask him for the grace to celebrate and honour his Son’s birth into this world. We might be surprised just how many opportunities present themselves. A prayer for the lost, the lonely and the unwanted won’t go astray either.

All are welcome to attend the annual Christmas Program which will be held at Murwillumbah Seventh-day Adventist Church on Saturday, 23rd December at 10am.
The good news of Christmas is worth celebrating for three reasons. It is personal: “I bring you”. It is positive: “Good news of great joy.” And it is universal: “for all the people.” It doesn’t matter who you are, what you’ve done, where you’ve been, or where you’re headed – this news is for you. The angel brought us news we can use: God loves you! God is with you! God is for you! The entire reason for Christmas is the love of God. God loves you so much that he came to earth as a human so we could get to know him and learn to trust him and love him. Jesus has power and authority to change our lives for the better. Enjoy his love as we celebrate his birthday.
Christmas! A hectic time of year, running around buying those special gifts for family and getting together to be with one-another, that is if we are fortunate enough. There are many who struggle to buy those special gifts or are not able to be with family due to different circumstances. And when it’s all over, many struggle for months to pay off the credit card. So what is Christmas really all about? It is about a real and living God, who loves each one of us more than we will ever really know. You see we all have wronged God; we have sinned against him, and what we owe him we could never repay back to him. Yet, God knowing this paid the price of our wrong doing by sending his own Son to pay our debt. Jesus Christ came to die for you and me so that things could be made right with God and us. That is the best present any one could receive, and that is why Christmas is a time to remember God’s present to us. Why not come along to Church and share in that time that we give thanks to God for his precious gift to us. Also remember that we can only enjoy a gift if we first unwrap the present. To appreciate the gift of Jesus, you need to accept him into your life, and he will change your life for the better.

Murwillumbah Christmas display winners named
TWEED VALLEY Weekly in conjunction with the Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber has awarded three Murwillumbah businesses with the best Christmas displays for the festive season in 2017. The Weekly hit the streets this week in search of the business who captured the spirit of Christmas, while also incorporating their store products. It was a tough choice for owner editor Jonathon Howard who paced up and down Murwillumbah CBD and Murwillumbah South to find this year’s winner. “It was really tough this year with some great displays including at the Austral Café, Varela Swift Pharmacy, last year’s winner Anderson’s Treasure Store and many more,” he said. “But the one that caught my eye this year was Kadamba Hairdressing who went all out this year at 50 Murwillumbah Street.” Kadamba Hairdressing owner Georgina Notaras said she spent around 20 hours building her Christmas display, incorporating her father’s old Christmas tree and a great range of products. “It was a lot of work, but I was really happy to see it come together,” she said. “Dad passed away this time last year, so it was nice to include his Christmas tree in the display as well.” Georgina will collect an advertising package and certificate from The Weekly in the new year. This year’s second place went to Rumour Has It at 8 Wharf Street, who used a range of products available in store and used owner Corinne’s styling skills to make her display shine. “It took a couple of hours to put up,” she said. “I’d like to wish everyone merry Christmas and thank you for the acknowledgment.” Third place this year went to Bowerbird
Emporium owners Lisa Hartshorne and Rob Duncan at 9 Wollumbin Street. Mrs Hartshorne has combined the Christmas display throughout the store and offers a range of themed items for purchase. “Thank you for the thought it’s very nice,” she said. “We do get a lot of comments about the store.” Prizes this year include an advertising package with The Weekly for first place and smaller packages for second and third. Thank you everyone for taking part and Merry Christmas from the Weekly.

IT’S STORM SEASON
Above: In both storms and floods, items not secured can end up as flying and floating debris.

of 31 March 2017 – the largest seen in many locations across Tweed Shire. It’s timely to remember that this flood occurred from a relatively short storm event and a far greater flood is possible. The best safeguard against flood and storm is preparation. Plan now for you, your family and your

pets to limit your damages and losses in the event of a storm or flood hitting your area. Talk your plan through with your family and then put it on paper. And don’t forget to identify dry places where you can store belongings and clean up your yard, making sure that any item that can be thrown around in a storm is put away or tied down.
Identify your flood trigger As a ‘rule of thumb’ for most of the Tweed Shire, if 300mm of rain falls within 24 hours you should expect significant flooding.

We want to be a resilient and ready community. We want to make sure that new residents understand the reality of living here. – Tumbulgum
Remember, short bursts of much less rain can cause flash flooding, particularly in the Hinterland and low-lying residential areas of Tweed Heads. Also, if you live in the lower-lying areas of Tweed Heads, Chinderah and the Coastal Villages, it’s important to understand that the worst flood will come when there is significant rain coupled with an ocean storm surge or king tide.
So, what’s your flood trigger to: • lift your property from any under-storey? • move your vehicle? • pick the kids up from school? • evacuate/leave? Different communities will have different flood triggers. Even different people in the same community may have different flood triggers depending on their age, mobility, health, whether they have young children, the reliability of their vehicle and other factors. During the March 2017 flood
emergency, it was clear many residents had little understanding of how floods unfold in the shire or, even how they unfold in their neighbourhood. New residents were more vulnerable due to their lack of local knowledge and flood experience. Remember, every flood is different so you cannot rely solely on past experience. To identify your flood triggers, check out the examples below to see if they might be relevant to your situation.

Caught off guard in March 2017 Cyclone Debbie crossed the Queensland Coast north of Mackay as a Category 4 system on 28 March 2017. Two days later after weakening to a tropical low and turning south, it brought heavy rain to northern New South Wales. In the weeks before, the Tweed had rain that caused ‘below minor’ flooding, which meant the ground was already soaked and could not absorb much of the additional rainfall.
The rapid rise of the flood was notable, as was the final peak from the last burst of rain. Within two hours on Thursday 30 March, the Bureau of Meteorology warnings went from ‘minor to moderate’ flooding to ‘minor to major’ flooding, then three hours later ‘moderate to major’ flooding. Many residents and businesses
were caught off guard, including Council. Six people lost their lives, hundreds were rendered homeless and thousands suffered significant property damage and loss.
This was such a swiftly changing flood – looking outside at what was actually happening was necessary. We had to make our own decisions. – Cudgen The highest water levels since river gauging began more than 100 years ago were recorded on the Tweed River at Murwillumbah (6.3m Australian Height Datum) and Tumbulgum (4.0m AHD). Luckily, rainfall
on the coast was moderate and there was no significant ocean storm surge or king tide coinciding with the flood peak, therefore Tweed Heads and Chinderah were not as severely affected as upstream areas. The Rous River catchment received some of the heaviest rainfall. Flood water heights in the lower Rous reached record levels with 7.5m AHD at Boat Harbour and 5.3m AHD at Kynnumboon. Outside of the Tweed Valley, there was widespread flooding in the Burringbar, Mooball and Crabbes Creek areas after heavy rain. The heaviest rain recorded in the Tweed in 24 hours fell at Couchy Creek, 747mm; Numinbah, 674mm; Chillingham, 663mm; and, Eungella, 638mm.

Nature’s signals are the first warnings … we need to be masters of our own destiny. If you aren’t on one of the seven hills you are in a floodplain. – Murwillumbah
As we are now in storm season, it’s a good idea to understand what warnings you will get of a flood. The first warnings of a flood you should look for are the natural warning signs. These signs would include rain for many hours; pooling and ponding water; rushing roadside gutters; dry watercourses running; livestock
Historical river heights There are a number of river gauges throughout Tweed Shire which measure the depth of the rivers at all times. Since records began, maximum heights of the rivers at gauge locations are: Town/village

2. Know your risk
• look for the natural warning signs • where past floods have come to on your property. Mark them for quick reference • how long your neighbourhood and/or property was isolated for in the biggest flood • your local roads; what goes under water and when • can you protect your property with sandbags
3. Know who to call
All residents need to have a Home Emergency Plan. A template to guide you can be found on the State Emergency Service website at www.seshomeemergencyplan.com.au. Also: • talk with your neighbours, especially the long-term locals, for local knowledge of your area • know when you need to leave to pick up children from school and what routes you need to take • know where to find out where the local evacuation centre is located • download these apps to your mobile device: – www.bom.gov.au/app/ – m.tweed.nsw.gov.au – myroadinfo app – http://m.livetraffic.rta.nsw.gov.au

Make your plan
moving to higher ground; rising creeks and rivers. Then, there are official warnings. The Bureau of Meteorology issues flood warnings and flood watches, severe thunderstorm warnings and severe weather warnings, while NSW SES issues flood bulletins, evacuation warnings and evacuation orders. The scope of the BoM’s agreed floodwarning service does not include warnings for local overland and/or rapid onset creek flooding. This is particularly relevant for the Tweed Shire, given the multitude of creeks that run down its valleys. The natural warning signs in your area may be your flood trigger. Residents should not wait for official warnings if the natural warning signs tell you to ‘go’. Again, the SES website at www.ses.nsw. gov.au has a lot of valuable information on warnings and what they mean. For those who want an in-depth understanding of flood behaviours in the shire, Council’s Tweed Valley and Coastal Creeks flood studies and associated risk management plans can be found at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Flooding.
At all times have: • a battery-powered radio tuned to ABC North Coast FM 94.5 (your emergency channel) • a battery-powered torch • spare batteries • containers for drinking water • candles and waterproof matches • a first aid kit • a waterproof bag for valuables If you are likely to be safe at home but cut off for days: • food for several days • medications If your home is likely to be flooded and you need to leave: • cash (ATMs go down) • important documents, including insurance policy, contact numbers/photos • medications/scripts • shoes/clothes
6. Check your insurance
The insurance industry in Australia defines flooding as: The covering of normally dry land by water that has escaped or been released from the normal confines of: • any lake, or any river, creek or other natural watercourse, whether or not altered or modified; or • any reservoir, canal, or dam. All new home and contents insurance policies in Australia include flood cover, however many choose to opt out of flood cover, exclude flood from business policies or choose not to insure at all. Cover for stormwater will not generally extend to include flood events. Policy holders should understand the difference and upgrade their policy if flood cover is required. If an initial quote is too expensive, shop around. For more information, see http://understandinsurance.com. au/types-of-insurance/flood-insurance.

on the coast was moderate and there was no significant ocean storm surge or king tide coinciding with the flood peak, therefore Tweed Heads and Chinderah were not as severely affected as upstream areas. The Rous River catchment received some of the heaviest rainfall. Flood water heights in the lower Rous reached record levels with 7.5m AHD at Boat Harbour and 5.3m AHD at Kynnumboon. Outside of the Tweed Valley, there was widespread flooding in the Burringbar, Mooball and Crabbes Creek areas after heavy rain. The heaviest rain recorded in the Tweed in 24 hours fell at Couchy Creek, 747mm; Numinbah, 674mm; Chillingham, 663mm; and, Eungella, 638mm.

Nature’s signals are the first warnings … we need to be masters of our own destiny. If you aren’t on one of the seven hills you are in a floodplain. – Murwillumbah
As we are now in storm season, it’s a good idea to understand what warnings you will get of a flood. The first warnings of a flood you should look for are the natural warning signs. These signs would include rain for many hours; pooling and ponding water; rushing roadside gutters; dry watercourses running; livestock
Historical river heights There are a number of river gauges throughout Tweed Shire which measure the depth of the rivers at all times. Since records began, maximum heights of the rivers at gauge locations are: Town/village

2. Know your risk
• look for the natural warning signs • where past floods have come to on your property. Mark them for quick reference • how long your neighbourhood and/or property was isolated for in the biggest flood • your local roads; what goes under water and when • can you protect your property with sandbags
3. Know who to call
All residents need to have a Home Emergency Plan. A template to guide you can be found on the State Emergency Service website at www.seshomeemergencyplan.com.au. Also: • talk with your neighbours, especially the long-term locals, for local knowledge of your area • know when you need to leave to pick up children from school and what routes you need to take • know where to find out where the local evacuation centre is located • download these apps to your mobile device: – www.bom.gov.au/app/ – m.tweed.nsw.gov.au – myroadinfo app – http://m.livetraffic.rta.nsw.gov.au

moving to higher ground; rising creeks and rivers. Then, there are official warnings. The Bureau of Meteorology issues flood warnings and flood watches, severe thunderstorm warnings and severe weather warnings, while NSW SES issues flood bulletins, evacuation warnings and evacuation orders. The scope of the BoM’s agreed floodwarning service does not include warnings for local overland and/or rapid onset creek flooding. This is particularly relevant for the Tweed Shire, given the multitude of creeks that run down its valleys. The natural warning signs in your area may be your flood trigger. Residents should not wait for official warnings if the natural warning signs tell you to ‘go’. Again, the SES website at www.ses.nsw. gov.au has a lot of valuable information on warnings and what they mean. For those who want an in-depth understanding of flood behaviours in the shire, Council’s Tweed Valley and Coastal Creeks flood studies and associated risk management plans can be found at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Flooding.
At all times have: • a battery-powered radio tuned to ABC North Coast FM 94.5 (your emergency channel) • a battery-powered torch • spare batteries • containers for drinking water • candles and waterproof matches • a first aid kit • a waterproof bag for valuables If you are likely to be safe at home but cut off for days: • food for several days • medications If your home is likely to be flooded and you need to leave: • cash (ATMs go down) • important documents, including insurance policy, contact numbers/photos • medications/scripts • shoes/clothes
6. Check your insurance
The insurance industry in Australia defines flooding as: The covering of normally dry land by water that has escaped or been released from the normal confines of: • any lake, or any river, creek or other natural watercourse, whether or not altered or modified; or • any reservoir, canal, or dam. All new home and contents insurance policies in Australia include flood cover, however many choose to opt out of flood cover, exclude flood from business policies or choose not to insure at all. Cover for stormwater will not generally extend to include flood events. Policy holders should understand the difference and upgrade their policy if flood cover is required. If an initial quote is too expensive, shop around. For more information, see http://understandinsurance.com. au/types-of-insurance/flood-insurance.
Building flood resilient homes Council has adopted the 1% AEP (1:100 Annual Exceedance Probability) flood as the design standard for most kinds of residential buildings. In new subdivisions, such as on the Tweed Coast or around Banora Point, this is the minimum level that each house block is required to be filled to. Floor levels in the habitable part of the dwelling (living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens etc) need to be built 0.5m above this level. In areas where filling is not allowed or is impractical, raised pole houses are constructed. You will see these types of homes in South Tweed, Tumbulgum, Condong, South Murwillumbah and Chinderah. Again, the habitable floor level needs to be at least 0.5m above the 1% AEP flood level. Areas below the habitable floor level need to be built to structurally sound flood standards. The floor plan for the under-storey shown on this page outlines the simple building techniques you can use to make your house more flood resilient and easier to dry and clean after a flood. This floor plan is for a house in Tumbulgum, which was cleaned and fully functional again by 3pm the day after the 31 March 2017 flood.
Note that the fully enclosed part of any under-floor area is limited to 50 square metres, including any stairway to the upper habitable storey. This restriction on complete enclosures means there are adequate openings (which can be slatted or decoratively screened for security) for flood flows to pass through each property with limited damage to that property. If you want to find out the flood levels that apply to your property, look at our online mapping at www.tweed.nsw.gov. au/Mapping and check your s149 planning certificate (you should have got one of these through the property purchase process with your solicitor) or contact Council. Properties that comply with the building code are the most flood-resilient. Communities that comply with the building code are the most flood-resilient. For more information on building in flood prone areas, see www.abcb.gov.au/Resources/Publications/EducationTraining/Construction-of-Buildings-in-Flood-Hazard-Areas. For information on hazards to watch for when returning to a flood-damaged property and tips on how to clean up and salvage damaged items, see www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Flooding

NSW SES has unveiled new opportunities for residents to volunteer to help build greater community resilience in severe weather, such as floods and storms. The new initiative, ‘Volunteering Reimagined’, has been launched and allows more flexibility as well as different options for people to get involved with the Service. As part of this new initiative, SES has introduced three new categories of volunteering in addition to the existing core unit membership. These new categories are: 1. Community Action Team (CAT) members – A group of community members who come up with a local plan or set of actions that can help them prepare and respond to a flood or storm emergency. Several Tweed Shire communities have looked at developing a CAT for their area. These include: Chinderah/Fingal Head, Murwillumbah, Burringbar/Mooball, Tyalgum. More initial meetings are being planned 2. Corporate volunteers – Employees of a partner organisation or business who can volunteer their help in an emergency, and 3. Spontaneous volunteers – People who want to volunteer their help during and after an event with no ongoing commitment. For more information on the different volunteering options or to join or initiate your own local CAT group, please go to www.ses.nsw.gov.au/get-involved/ volunteer.

Levees should never be considerved complete protection from flood. All of Tweed Shire’s flood levees will eventually be overtopped when a big enough flood occurs. While levees are designed to keep river water out, during a flood the drainage outlets will be closed and the levee will act as a dam to keep local rainwater in.
An important observation from the March 2017 flood is that had the intense rainfall on Thursday night continued for as little as four hours more into Friday morning, the Murwillumbah CBD Levee would have overtopped and completely filled the CBD area. Murwillumbah CBD Levee overtops at 6.3m AHD on the Murwillumbah Gauge. East Murwillumbah Levee overtops at
Living and Loving the Tweed
approximately 6.3m AHD on the Murwillumbah Gauge or less if flooding in the Rous River is heavier. Dorothy/William Street Levee overtops at roughly 6.3m AHD on the Murwillumbah Gauge or less if flooding in the Rous River is heavier. The South Murwillumbah Levee is much lower and begins to overtop at 4.8m on the Murwillumbah Gauge.
Tweed Heads South Levee begins to overtop at approximately 2.2m on the Barney’s Point Gauge or Dry Dock Gauge. While not levee protected areas, water will begin to flow over Riverside Drive in Tumbulgum when the Tumbulgum Gauge reaches about 2.4m and floodwaters will begin to enter Chinderah, over Chinderah Bay Drive, when the Barney’s Point Gauge reaches about 1.6m.
Tweed Link to be published in local newspapers in 2018 We want to let you know about some changes to the Tweed Link which will take effect from January 2018. For 20 years, Tweed Shire Council has independently printed and distributed the Tweed Link, providing a trusted source of Council and community information. Times have changed and independently printing and distributing the Tweed Link for 42,500 households each week has become unsustainable. From the week commencing the 15 January 2018, the Tweed Link will appear in the local free newspapers, the Tweed Daily News (Wednesday community edition) and Tweed Valley Weekly (Thursdays). Together, these newspapers have a combined print run of approximately 46,000, complemented by these organisations’ strong online and social media readership. The Tweed Link will continue in a weekly printed format with the same content, a refreshed ‘look and feel’ and the benefit of full colour. Only the distribution will change, providing a range of print and electronic options for the community to receive the Tweed Link. We are pleased to say this expansion of the Tweed Link into improved online, social and digital information will not be at any further expense to ratepayers. These changes allow you to choose how you would like to receive or access the Tweed Link and stay informed about Council news – via traditional printed papers, online through our website or electronic subscription or by following our social media. From 15 January, the Tweed Link will be available: • In a free weekly printed format available to the majority of Tweed households and bulk drops through two local free newspapers • As a free weekly online electronic subscription service direct to your inbox (www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Subscribe) and available on Council’s website (www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Tweedlink) • As a video version of the ‘Tweed e-Link’ for Council’s YouTube and social media channels, to grow our online and social media followers (coming soon). • At Council offices and some Council-owned community facilities. Some of you will welcome this change, some of you will have concerns as you adapt to the alternative ways to access the Tweed Link and some of you may read and engage with the Tweed Link for the first time. Thank you for your support of the Tweed Link over the past 20 years, we look forward to continuing its legacy, gaining new audiences and keeping you informed about our more than 52 programs and services.
What is changing? • The way Council distributes the printed version of the Tweed Link. From the week commencing 15 January 2018 – the Tweed Link will appear in the Tweed Daily News (community edition distributed Wednesdays) and The Tweed Valley Weekly (distributed Thursdays). Both of these newspapers are free to obtain. • The printed Tweed Link ‘look and feel’ will be updated, feature more stories and articles, be printed in full colour, with a slightly larger type. • Council will no longer take external advertising from third party groups. These enquiries should be directed to support the local printed papers including the Tweed Daily News or the Tweed Valley Weekly. • There is no change to the current arrangements for Resident and Ratepayer Groups to receive in-kind support of one monthly community notice – this will continue to be offered and featured in the Tweed Link. • The existing Tweed Link Policy is being updated to reflect these changes and incorporated into one Communications Policy which will shortly be on exhibition for public comment. When will it happen? • Tuesday 12 December 2017 – Tweed Link Issue 1036 will be the last independently printed and distributed Tweed Link. We then take a break from publishing over the Christmas – New Year period. • From the week commencing Monday 15 January 2018, the Tweed Link will feature in the Tweed Daily News (community edition) distributed on Wednesdays and The Tweed Valley Weekly delivered on Thursdays. What can I do? What are my options? • Subscribe at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/subscribe to get the Tweed Link (or a range of other subscription services) sent directly to your inbox each week. • Follow Council on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google+, YouTube and Linkedin. • Adapt your news reading habits to find the Tweed Link in the Tweed Daily News and the Tweed Valley Weekly. • Drop into Council’s offices and some other community facilities to pick up a copy. • Sign up to Your Say Tweed at www.yoursay.tweed.nsw.gov.au to stay informed Council’s engagement activities and get notifications about ways you can have your say.

Praise for Tweed resilience by Chambers Some joy for the homeless at Christmas
BOTH THE Tweed Heads Chamber of Commerce president Warren Polglase and Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber (MDBC) president Ilze Jaunberzins wanted to extend their best wishes to The Weekly readers over the holiday season, as well as encouraging residents to shop locally to support Tweed businesses. “Retailing in the Tweed has always been a challenge and the Tweed Chamber of Commerce has endeavoured to have speakers at their 2017 monthly breakfasts, to assist retailers to get a better understanding how to market and improve their business,” Mr Polglase said. “The Chamber Board extend to all our members a Happy Christmas and may the Christmas and Holiday period bring rewards to your business and continue onto the New Year 2018.” Ms Jaunberzins said she was grateful for the amazing teamwork and commitment that the board of Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber contributed to the business community in 2017. “2017 proved that our Murwillumbah and District has amazing resilience, kindness and great spirit of cooperation,” she said. “The reason for the rapid recovery from the catastrophic water event was the strength of cooperation and connectedness of our community. “A new board committed to serve was
formed in February and my deep thanks extend to Vice President Helen Stubbin, Secretary Peter Hirons, Treasurer Kerry Turner, Business Officer Skye Swift, Functions Officer Karissa Ball as well as Eva Heath and Michael Simmons representing the villages. “Through the huge effort and other great initiatives, MDBC won NSW Business Chamber Northern Rivers Regional Chamber of the Year. “My vision for 2018 is to encourage businesses to build on the collaboration and trust that has been established. “Already there are connected networks to support each other. “A leading example is Tweed Experiences Network where cross meshing of strategic alliances amplifies the presence and availability of tourist experiences. “Businesses in town are showing trust in our town and opening extended hours for Christmas. Let’s support them and keep our town vibrant.” Members of the Tweed Experiences Network wanted to also extend a Merry Christmas to the Weekly readers. “Tweed Experiences Network (TEN) wishes all Tweed locals and visitors, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,” TEN members said. “Explore, enjoy and experience the best of the Tweed Valley - Australia’s Natural Theme Park.”

A CHRISTMAS Celebration is being planned for those homeless across the southern Gold Coast and Tweed Shire with around 250 people to join in the fun and spirit of Christmas on Wednesday, December 20, at Coolangatta. Organised by Tweed-based Agape Outreach Inc, the Christmas Party will bring joy to those who attend, with entertainment and a jumping castle organised, along with tables of free clothing to give away, hot coffee, free haircuts and beauty services, Christmas dinner and a small gift for everyone who attends. Agape Outreach’s Theresa Mitchell is also putting the call out to local businesses and restaurants to help with donations. “We’re looking for donations for several of the bigger items that we will otherwise have to buy, including a generator for the jumping castle, plus leg hams, turkey rolls and even baked potatoes – we need a lot of baked potatoes to feed 250 people,” she said. Ms Mitchell said the demand for services
to support the growing homeless community would not stop over the Christmas season. “We’ll have people coming from the Tweed and as far north as Nerang,” she said. “The majority will be the homeless and needy that we feed on the street, as well as families that we support with food hampers through our centre at South Tweed. “Our weekly Tuesday and Wednesday night services in Coolangatta will continue over the Christmas period, this is just a chance to bring a bit of Christmas cheer to those who would otherwise go without.” Anyone wishing to donate or support the event can contact Theresa Mitchell on 0414 693 670 or theresa@agapeoutreachinc.com The Christmas Party will be held from 4pm on Wednesday, December 20, with entertainment and a visit from Santa Claus, with dinner at 6pm in Coolangatta’s beachside park along Marine Parade. The Murwillumbah Seven Day Adventist Church will also host a Christmas day lunch at the Murwillumbah Community Centre on December 25 from 11.30am.

Did you know that Mosquito-borne diseases can cause life-threatening illness? You’ve probably landed on this page because you’re sick of mosquitoes and other buzzing bugs ruining your outdoor time. Mosquito-borne disease is a serious concern, with millions of people worldwide impacted by pathogens spread by these blood-sucking insects. In Australia, there are more than 5,000 cases of human illness caused by the mosquitoborne Ross River virus and Barmah Forest virus every year. Mosquitoes can carry diseases that may be passed on to people through mosquito bites. Periods of heavy rainfall or floods can lead to ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes, even in non-tropical areas. Diseases that are spread by insects are known as ‘vectorborne’ diseases. There are over 60 individual repellent formulations currently registered including aerosols, creams, lotions, pump sprays, wipes, wrist bands and sticks. Despite this diversity of products, there are only a handful of active ingredients, the most common of which are DEET (diethyltoluamide) and Picaridin. DEET is commonly known as the king of mosquito repellents, though not everyone is keen to slather it on their skin. A study conducted found negative health effects that linked to the exposure to the chemical. Effects included rashes, skin irritation, numb or burning lips, nausea, headaches, dizziness and difficulty concentrating. When it comes to living a healthy and natural lifestyle, what you put on your body is just as significant as what you put in your body. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and since it is porous, it absorbs whatever you put on it. Founder

Testimonial I have been approached to test the Australian Mosquitoes and Midges repellent. I went to the bush Murwillumbah NSW. It rained and was very steamy weather. The mosquitoes and midges came out while being outdoors. I sprayed over my exposed skin arms and legs, and the good news was that everyone around me got bitten and I was so happy that I did not get bitten and love the outdoors now. I highly recommended product to make the mosquitoes and midges to buzz off. Thanks for this wonderful product. Kind regards, Vickie.

Double demerits from tonight NSW POLICE are calling on backstreet drivers to speak up to help save lives over the Christmas holiday break as they launch Operation Safe Arrival from midnight tonight (Thursday, December 14). Double demerit points will be in place from midnight on Thursday, until midnight on Monday, January 1, for all speeding, mobile phone, seatbelt and motorcycle-helmet offences. Police will also be out in force over the holiday period and said they will be enforcing all types of dangerous driving behaviours. Deputy Commissioner of Specialist Support, Catherine Burn, said passengers play a major role in keeping themselves, their drivers, and other road-users safe these holidays. “In my view, one of the most tragic statistics is that 76 of the people who have died this year were passengers in vehicles,” she said. “That is 24 more passengers who have died this year when compared to last year. “This is an especially tragic statistic, because it shows that innocent people are dying on our roads because of the poor decisions of people behind the wheel. “During Operation Safe Arrival, we want everyone to remember not to let safety take a backseat. This means that we want drivers to think about the innocent passengers in their cars and other cars before they make a stupid decision to speed, pick up a phone, drink and drive, or drive tired. “It also means we want passengers to be a backseat driver. Passengers need to speak up if they see their driver speeding, using their phone, or drinking before driving. They also need to offer to drive if their driver is tired or has been driving for a long period of time. “We had 16 people die during the same operation last year, and it’s not good enough. The message is simple, everyone needs to do their part and look out for each other, so that everyone can arrive home safely.”

SPINNERS AUTOMOTIVE announced in August last year the opening of its second workshop at 20 Lundberg Drive, South Murwillumbah, expanding their services to assist with crucial suspension upgrades while also continuing at their 303 Tweed Valley Way site. Spinners Automotive owner Peter Clarke said there was a growing trend amongst caravan and 4WD owners to exceed their
maximum weight load or GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass), but Spinners can help take the worry away. The law governing caravan towing capacity is first and foremost designed for safety – yours and that of your occupants as well as third parties. However, many caravan or 4WD owners are unaware that they are exceeding their limits and risk a nasty shock at the weigh-in
stations. Spinners are offering full suspension overhauls using top of the line Pedders Suspension, to ensure you’re not only safe on the road but perfectly legal. Mr Clarke said the standard suspension on many caravans was falling short of what many families were now taking on holidays. “What we’re finding with a lot of vehicles are at their capacity load limits without

additional items, ” he said. “But with a new suspension system we can in some cases achieve more than 600kg of additional weight while adhering to all road legislation.” To find out more and to speak to the experts phone Spinners Automotive on 0412 956 500 or visit one of the two Spinners sites at 20 Lundberg Drive or 303 Tweed Valley Way.

Tweed lights up with stunning Christmas displays
Gabi Edwards and Mark Edwards created an amazing display at Castlefield Drive, Murwillumbah
THE TWEED Shire may have missed out on their public Christmas trees this year, but that has not stopped locals from getting into the Christmas spirit by lighting up their homes for the enjoyment of all. The Weekly hit the streets of Murwillumbah on Sunday, December 10, in search of the best Christmas lights and met several passionate locals along the way. One of the standouts was at 21 Castlefield Drive, Murwillumbah, where Gabi Edwards and her father Mark spend their November weekends assembling a spectacular lights display complete with reindeer and dancing Santas.
Gabi and Mark’s display at Castlefield Drive, Murwillumbah
Gabi said she is the creative brains behind the display while Mark has the job of assembling the thousands of lights. Several households within the Hundred Hills estate also join in lighting up their homes, with Central Parade featuring several displays with giant santas and laser light shows. Residents of Murwillumbah’s newest estate, Riva Vue, have created a magical atmosphere with the majority of households along Coral Fern Circuit lighting up the street. As the sun set behind the mountains several residents were out enjoying walking the streets and taking in the light displays.
Riva Vue residents get into the Christmas spirit
Mark and Madonna Goulding join several households in lighting up Simpson Parade, Bilambil Heights each year
There are also some exceptional displays at Banora Point, with Jim and Goody Smith’s home at 14 Toolona Street Banora Point, always a favourite. Each year residents of Simpson Parade, Bilambil Heights, take part in a Christmas lights competition, with Mark and Madonna Goulding’s display at 39 Simpson Drive a favourite with the kids. Mark and Madonna dress up as Mr and Mrs Claus, take letters to Santa and pose for photos with children. Down the coast, residents of Woodfull Crescent, Pottsville, also join in the Christmas spirit by lighting up many of the homes in their street.
Adam, Gale and Brooke helped light up Murwillumbah with their light display at Central Parade

A Merry Christmas from Tweed Shire Council Christmas message from Federal Member
WHAT A challenging year 2017 has been for many people in our community. Cyclone Debbie brought heartache for many families and individuals, as well as business losses. The Tweed lost six residents during this time and many families will be spending their first Christmas without their loved ones. My heart goes out to these families and everyone who may be spending this time away from their families during this festive season. If anything good came out of the flood, it was the reminder of what a caring, supportive community we live in. So many people opened up their homes, their wallets and their hearts to help their neighbours and strangers as well. Thank you. While it’s been very challenging I have thoroughly enjoyed my role as Mayor of Tweed this year and enjoyed meeting so many wonderful community members. I would like to thank the Deputy Mayor, Cr Reece Byrnes and former Deputy Mayor Cr Chris Cherry for their dedication and my fellow Councillors for their service. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone and I hope you and your family enjoy a relaxed and safe festive period and an even more sustainable New Year. Tweed Shire Mayor Katie Milne When reflecting on the past 12 months, the one thing that all of us in Tweed Shire will remember is the unprecedented flood that wreaked destruction across so much of the shire. It’s been a long and hard road to recovery and many families and
businesses still have a way to go to get back on their feet and I will be thinking of them over the next few weeks. One thing that we witnessed during the flood and the subsequent recovery efforts was the incredible community spirit that we have in Tweed. It brought out the very best in us. A few days after the flood, a NSW emergency services officer, who has witnessed scores of natural disasters across Australia told me, with tears in his eyes, that the community spirit in Tweed was something special. I couldn’t agree more. I’m so proud to be a part of this great place and wish everyone an amazing holiday season.” Tweed Shire Councillor James Owen. Christmas is a special time to reflect and to come together and celebrate the past year. However, it is important to keep in our thoughts those who cannot be with their families and friends through this period. I make special mention of those who are homeless or who are required to work in health care and police services over this time. We must also keep in our hearts and minds over this period the many families for whom Christmas will be difficult and who are still recovering from the devastating floods earlier this year. It has been a busy year for the Tweed Shire and I look forward to continuing to work with and serve the community in 2018. I wish you and your family a peaceful and joyful Christmas. Tweed Shire Deputy Mayor Reece Byrnes
a challenging year for many in the Tweed community, as we witnessed the devastating impact and legacy of Cyclone Debbie on our homes and businesses. Council will continue to work on infrastructure repairs over coming year and beyond to restore our road and bridge network. While roads and bridges can be fixed, my heart goes out to the families of the six people who lost their lives during the flood. I’ll be thinking of them over this period as they spend their first Christmas without their loved ones. It was wonderful to see the community’s spirit rise to the occasion and show that the Tweed is not only beautiful – it is a caring, supportive place to live. All the best to everyone and I hope you have a happy, safe and relaxed Christmas and New Year. From Tweed Shire Council General Manager Troy Green
There is no doubt 2107 has been
FEDERAL MEMBER for Richmond Justine Elliot, her family and staff, would like to wish everyone on the North Coast a safe and happy Christmas this year. “My husband Craig, our children Alexandra and Joe, my staff and I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a happy and exciting New Year,” she said. “Christmas is a special time of year when families, friends, neighbours, and communities can come together to celebrate the festive season. “I’d like to thank those who give so much of their time to make the North Coast such a great place to live. “I particularly want to thank the Police and the Emergency Services for their tireless work throughout the year and over the busy holiday season. “It’s a privilege and an honour to continue to serve the people of Richmond in our Federal Parliament and I’m so proud of how much we’ve achieved by working together. “It has been a very difficult year for our region with the massive floods causing so much devastation and despair. As a community we are rebuilding and repairing and in 2018 we will continue to work together on issues that are important to us. “I’d also like to thank all those who have given so generously to my Christmas Toy Drive. This will make a big difference in bringing the magic of Christmas to children in need across our community. “Thanks also to John Lee and his local charity ‘You Have a Friend’ for kindly distributing the toys.”

HEY ALL, welcome to this week’s Christmas Local Sounds. This week I’d like to tell readers about a passionate local musician and rocker Jake Maloney, who has been playing in bands, Rock ‘n’ Roll Dancing and event coordinating from a young age. Jake went to Wollumbin high and speaks highly of Robby Cenda who was the music teacher that encouraged him into the Industry. Jake has recently taken residence at Tweed Creative Studios as event coordinator, sound engineer and dance instructor. He has come a long way in the last two years. Continuing to run Cadillac Rockers Rock ‘n’ Roll dance classes every Monday night at the Condong Bowls Club as well as working as the singer for popular band Jake and the Cadillac’s and contracting to Tweed Creative Studios for various sound engineering events. Jake takes a lot of pride in the dancing classes which is very popular amongst local families and singles. You can understand why when you see him dance. It’s not very often you can get an opportunity to dance with him as he generally has up to five people waiting in line to dance with him wherever he goes. Jakes events are always well attended and fun which brings me to a Gala Rock ‘n’ Roll Christmas Event this Sunday December 17 at the Condong bowls club from 2pm-6pm. Entry is $10 Adults $5 under 18s. The Bistro will be open and there will be prizes and even a Santa appearance. The great news is that one of the best Rock n Roll

He was young and brash; so confident – you could see it in his walk. His family was offended by the filth he used to talk. His teachers gave him up – he was too “smart” for them, by far; while the non achievers in the class, considered him a star. He signed himself out of the school, halfway through the year. Left home to be his own man: the shared flat - the trendy gear. Visions of a fancy job: he‘d make the top, for sure; into the “dance party” mob, for music - even more. In three weeks he was out of cash, without a hint of work, on the dole: “thrown out of home – Dad’s a raving jerk!” The dance scene was a bore, without the powder and the speed and soon he found he had to beg, just to get a feed. Excuses for the rent unpaid met deaf ears from his friends and soon his time of shared space, came to a bitter end. He walked the streets and soon became an angry, sullen man: the battle for a space at night, his most immediate plan. He hit the depths of shame the night his body went on offer, but soon the nightly ritual, involved his act of proffer.

No pride was left; no joy in life; just bitterness, resentment. The fast life took a downward turn: a long way from contentment. The lack of food, the mix of drugs and alcohol to numb the pain he felt: the shame he felt; he surely must succumb to a fear of life: “come pleasant death, to take me from this hell that I have made right here on earth – how else can I feel well?” The answer to his silent prayer, came quicker than he thought; an older man who’d knocked him back, with an offer to be bought, came on him by accident, the night he hit his death wish: offered him a share of stew, from his old, enamel meal dish. They quickly grew together, these two homeless, loveless men. The older man so street wise, gave the young man hope again. Showed him a Red Shield kitchen, some clean clothes and a bed: the beginnings of a reason for the boy to lift his head. He took in more than “body” food, in that Red Shield kitchen: at last he came to realise the depths his life was reachin’. The selfless Sallies serving him, with food that reached his soul; his street wise mate and he, both began to feel more “whole". Neither one could understand the attitude of giving. Those they’d seen as “workers” they saw were really “living” an attitude; a way of life, where they were really sharing their joy of Christ; their cup of life: of giving and of caring. In time, both men’s lives were changed, but it started that December, when the Red Shield kitchen attitude, caused the young man to remember how his mother used to love to have the family ‘round the table: everybody gave their love; as much as they were able. Even more: the older man, recognised the Spirit of Christmas love - that sent a Babe – to bring all mankind to It. He realised, he had been sent, to guide a young man’s journey, and though he felt he wasn’t fit, his God saw him as worthy. The lesson, then, for us must be: that Christmas time is giving more than tinsel and paper wrap: God’s Gift came to us living. A life so pure, unblemished: living in us ever, to give his life, that we may be at one, with God, forever. Free admission Gallery open Wed–Sun 10am – 5pm (DST)

TYALGUM LOCAL Dennis Scanlon has kindly contributed a Christmas poem for The Weekly readers. Mr Scanlon said the poem was written several years ago and has become popular among locals. “Through my life, I have known many people who are natural givers,” Mr Scanlon said. “They don’t judge, they don’t criticise, they listen and give from their hearts. “The young man in my poem had the world at his feet – but his attitude took him into some bad decisions and a life he had never expected could be ‘for him.’ “Ultimately, a crusty old but very street wise man took him into a wonderful group of people who were simply ‘natural givers’. “And so the lives of them both, were changed. “I trust you will enjoy ‘The Spirit of Christmas.’ “To all your readers, staff and you and your family, I wish you a wonderful Christmas, full of the joy of a wonderful Gift.”

MOVIES FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Before moving to live in the Northern Rivers I used to visit during holidays, and remember complaining every time because cinemas were screening only animated or commercial films. Now that I run a cinema myself I understand why cinemas must screen the holiday films: it is not only a matter of financial survival, but also an opportunity to cater, for a change, to the majority rather than to a minority in the community. And for people working in a cinema venue it is great to see whole families going to watch a film together and enjoying each other’s company. The best part for me is seeing the excitement that kids exude at the prospect of seeing their favorite cartoon characters on screen and at the prospect of getting hold of that colorful cup of lollies or that big bucket of popcorn… I can completely identify with them! And so, for them and for the child within each of us, this summer season will bring some outstanding films. Paddington 2 is the new adventure of a favorite bear. The first film about Paddington was a huge success not only with kids but also with adult audiences, through its wonderful portrait of a classic English environment and lifestyle and the participation of stars like Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins among others, and the new film will surely be as popular. Then there is a newcomer in the world of animation: a funny and tender bull called Ferdinand, who has a soft heart but is mistaken for a dangerous beast and taken away from his home. Determined to return to his family, he embarks on a huge adventure with a group of creatures as funny as him. Another big heart animates a courageous and quirky Mexican boy, Coco, who has a passion for singing in a family that has banned singing… I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to seeing these films, beautifully crafted and telling stories that reverberate with whatever degree of innocence we have been able to maintain in our hearts..!

OFFSHORE: Kings, kings and more kings. Kings still reeking havoc with lost of angler right up the coast this week. Try 9 mile, 5 mile, kingy, windarah and 18fathoms. These reefs have also been producing a good mixed bag of reefies. Drifting half pilchards working best for a feed. Lots of dollies everywhere this week. Trolling skirts catching the bigger models. Most FAD’s holding good number of these speedsters. A few out on the 24’s and 36’s with the odd wahoo, stripy and black shadowing these schools. Whiting, flathead and sandies in the rous channel. Bait at desal, snapper, Kirra, point and 10min reef. ESTUARY. It’s all about the jacks this week with warm northerlies, storms and good water temps has really fired up the jacks. Live baits fishing better this week. Try any bridges, pylons, rock walls and pontoons at Jacobs well in the Coomera, Nerang and the tweed with live baits and strip baits on the run in tide. Burley will double your chances of a big red dog. Anglers still only stopping 1 out of 3. GT chasing bait balls at the moment. Try convention centre, council chambers, bond uni, tally, hope island, Chinderah rock walls and Brunswick rock walls, with metals, vibes, blades, plastics, surfaces lures and herring under floats for best result. Some good elbo slappers getting around this week. Try poppers over the flats for a bit of fun

Featured Business
We are a family-based tree maintenance business and have been operating for over ten years in the local area. Originally the family came up from Sydney in 1979 to a beautiful property in Stokers Siding – where we still are. Mike and Belinda Thomas-Hall are the parents, and Skye, James, Peter and Jesse the four sons, all of whom grew up in this area and went to school in Murwillumbah. Skye and Peter have moved to the city whilst the rest of us are still here: also Edna from Colombia, who James met in Sydney three years ago; they are now married with one puppy-dog called Piki. James bought himself a Chainsaw in 2001 and started learning the ropes in the tree industry. After a while his dad, Mike, started helping and gradually they built up the business together. Now they are fully equipped, certified and experienced for all types of tree work. Very recently Mike and Belinda retired (more or less) and now James and Edna own and operate the business. Jesse, the youngest son, is valuable assistant and co-worker. Our first aim is to provide good customer service, therefore to engage in constructive discussion to achieve the most satisfactory outcome. There are

often many possibilities open to a costumer where tree removal or trimming is concerned. We do our best to look at the various solutions so that the costumer’s best interests are served. You will find our ad under Tree Removals, The Chainsaw Guys

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.

Marie June HANSEN 8/6/32 - 12/12/16
Your life was love and labour, your love for your family true, You did your best to stay with us, we will never stop loving you, With tearful eyes we watched you, we watched you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay, A Golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands now at rest, It broke our hearts to see you go, we knew it was for the best, So when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful and free from pain, We could not wish you to come back, and suffer all that again. Forever in our hearts, Your loving family. Your Memory, I will always treasure in my heart you will stay forever. From your loving husband Ken.
Marie June Hansen 8/6/32 - 12/12/16
If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me, Place them in my mothers arms and tell her they’re from me, Tell her I love her and miss her and when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while, Because remembering her is easy, I do it everyday, but theres an ache within my heart that will never go away. With eternal love from Debbie

Bowls Notes
Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals
with Judy Tuckey
CUDGEN LEAGUES BC definitely knows how to maintain its’ members interest in the game as well as the club. Just for the fun of it all, the “Cudgen Collision”, a new twist in the game, was introduced for the off season period with the inaugural contest conducted mid December. And what a twist it was! All members were required to swap their everyday bowls for old bowls tucked away in the back shed – and, boy, were they ever OLD bowls!! Dunlops, Slazenger, Henselite, etc., that had not been fired in anger for decades, were suddenly thrust into the daylight in the first of many annual “Cudgen Collisions” to come. The rules were simple: Two games of eleven ends, using old unfamiliar bowls; One dollar fine for wrong bias, one dollar fine for collision with any bowl on an adjoining rink; Triple teams drawn at random; Prizes for biggest winning margin and biggest losing margin as well as most colourful attire. Play commenced with much muttering about “Sir Francis Drake must’ve used these #!+** bowls!” and with the wide
draw of these ancient cannon balls, the cash register was soon ringing merrily. Colourful language mixed with colourful shirts and blouses made for a very colourful round one with several candidates nominated for the Biggest Losing Margin. Following a short refreshment break, round two commenced under threatening skies but the real threats were out on the greens. Accusations were flying wildly that not all members were using ‘old’ bowls, and, with some players refusing to have their bowls carbon-dated. The infamous Tommy Grimes, who habitually uses ancient Henselites, was penalised by having to use modern pink Aeros and still played as well as ever. Indiscretions on the greens totalled $16 for collisions and $8 for wrong bias’. Lorna Arnott took out the most colourful attire for the ladies and Ted Conlon collected the men’s award. Brien Murray, Les (don’t try and test my bowls!) Browning and Jan Gillie scored the Biggest Losing Margin while Mike Tate, Vic Richardson and Ray Hall notched up the Biggest
“ And what do you want for Christmas, little girl? “ Santa Darby asks Lorna Arnott.
Winning Margin. A super fun event, complimented with a Sausage Sizzle that capped off a great day. Happy New Year everyone. See you back on the greens in 2018, bright eyed and bushy tailed.
WICKET TO WICKET With Steve Twohill Seniors Wrap Up The Tweed was well represented in the Northern Rivers Rock side that played in the 20-20 finals series of the Regional Bash at the SCG on Sunday. The side featured six players from the Tweed Valley in the starting 11, who lost their semi-final to ultimate title holders Newcastle. The side featured brothers Caleb and Connor Ziebell, James Julius, Adam Rogers, Anthony Kershler and Tait Burns. A big effort considering the side made the final last year as well. Jaiden Hoare and Jamie Wilson were also among the squad considered for the game. To cap off a successful representative year, mercurial all-round sportsman Caleb Ziebell has made the NSW Country side to play in the Australian Country Championships in Western Australia in the second week of January 2018. An amazing effort considering after backing up from being named the Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League Player of the Year earlier in September.

spot of the nine team Northern Rivers competition. Meanwhile newcomers Murwillumbah sit in seventh spot.

Josh Kerr was in great form, getting I believe one of the best waves of the first day, and he really looked comfortable out there, making an easy win in his first round heat. Josh has announced his retirement from the tour, and even if he won Pipe he still would not qualify for the 2018 tour. Josh has been a Tel. 07 5576 6299 great spoiler of World Title before, beating Kelly www.ffsqld.com.au chances Slater while he was chasing 12/43 Tallebudgera Creek Rd, West Burleigh his 12th World Title in 2012, AUSTRALIAN CREDIT LICENCE 393599 and paving the way for his “Think Finance, Think Frasers” good mate Joel Parkinson to win his maiden World Title. Kerrsy has not won an Home Loan Health Check? event on the Championship Tour, but he may just go Car Finance? out with a bang, taking out Call us, we can help you. Pipeline and a few World 16498 Title hopes on the way.
Of the title contenders, Julian Wilson and Gabriel Medina will be surfing sudden death in round 2, with Medina needing to make the final and John John Florence not do better than 5th to stop his chances. John John placing 5th takes everyone out of the equation. Julian Wilson, who was a standout surfer of the morning unfortunately scored an interference and did not progress to round 3. Julian needs John John to lose in the early rounds, and then he has to win it and hope Jordy Smith does not get second. It is really John John Florence’s title to lose, if he doesn’t falter in his own backyard, it is all his. It would be pretty hard to bet against him. But stranger things have happened…
The King is not dead, and even though he won his heat quite well, he looked a touch tentative, but still got himself tubed on the best waves, and showed what his many years of experience are worth. Kelly will have to almost win this event to re-qualify, but I reckon he may be a chance of the injury wild card if he decides to go around another year. There has been no announcement of retirement, so my money is on him going around one more time.What was classic, is that almost seconds after the finish of Kelly’s heat, the wind came up onshore, almost on queue. Joel Parkinson, and Mick Fanning are still to surf their round 1 heats, and that may of happened this morning. To check all the action log into WSL from 3am!
Pipeline is underway with title on the line
THE FIRST round of the Pipeline masters got underway on Tuesday morning and so far, even though all of round one has not been completed, some surfers were looking the goods.
King Kelly is back!
Well one thing at Pipeline on Tuesday everyone was watching, was the return of the King, Kelly Slater.

OUR 52ND Car Competition tickets are now on sale and are available at the Surf Club and from your usual seller. Our first car competition was held as an Art Union in 1964. It is interesting on inflation from those days. First prize was a Ford Falcon which cost us $1,800. In today’s money this would buy you 18 cars. It took about nine months of the average Australian wage to purchase that vehicle, today with the Australian average at $74,776, nine days at that price. Our clubhouse opened in 1964 cost $20,000. Tweed Shire and the club each paid $3,000 and each had an annual payment of $700 to make over the next seven years. That building of 60 squares in today’s’ money would cost approximately $800,000. Plenty of competition this coming weekend. On Saturday, the Junior KOZ11 Ironman challenge will be held at Raby Bay. Sunday, Cabarita will host their Junior Branch Carnival. On Saturday and Sunday the “Summer of Surf” series moved to North Wollongong. Our Senior board and board relay team will compete having had good results in the overall point score in the

Last week an 11-year-old boy was swept off his feet into a rip at an unpatrolled beach at Port Macquarie with a tragic result. Far North Coast Branch 10 clubs were presented with new bright yellow beach safety signs by Tursa, a major sponsor of the Branch at the Byron Bay junior carnival. They will be placed at the entrance of patrolled beaches to inform beach patrols of conditions of the day, rips, stringers, etc. The FNC Team at the Inter-Branch Carnival last weekend retained the Country Branches point score and finished in 5th
place overall behind Sydney Northern Beaches on 1220 pts. Sydney 1176, Hunter 1151, Central Coast 976, F.N.C. 939m Illawarra next. Our standout competitor was Lily O’Sullivan in the U14 group.

Sailors face strong wind in last race of 2017 after numerous capsizes, while Tasar “Hippocampus” (Mike & Imogen Mansted) was also forced to retire early with a broken mast while actually leading the fleet. It was a disappointing result for Mike & Imogen as this would have been their first race win. 3 single handed Lasers competed in heat 3 of their Class Championship, with only two finishing. 1st placed Laser, “Siesta”, had a very close race with “Bluey”, with Gary finishing only 9 seconds ahead of second placed Kate Yeomans. Kate lead for the first 2 laps & showed incredible courage to continue racing despite the strong wind and multiple capsizes. Racing in the Clubs Summer Pointscore series included 3 Corsairs, 1 Impulse and 1 Access 303. First to finish in this group was “Swell Lady” (Monique Smith, Deborah Flannery & Craig Foley) . It was a great day out for Monique and her crew, and one of their strongest performances, as they battled & survived the winds and beat second place Corsair “Peggy” (Josh Ferguson, Tim Molloy & Grant Banning) by 8 minutes. This was the last race day of the year and the club will now take a break for Christmas. Next race at the Tweed Valley Sailing Club will be Heat 3 of the Northern Rivers Corsair Class Championship, conducted on the 14th of January 2018 Race Briefing will be at 12:00 NSW Time and Race Start will be at 1pm.

ON SUNDAY, Tweed Valley Sailing Club conducted its 5th race of the Summer Pointscore Series with strong winds reaching 26 knots at times on the Tweed River. 14 boats, sailed by 25 crew, battled the windy weather with many giving up and retiring early. Only 6 boats completed the course. It was exciting sailing for the survivors, with a strong flood tide against the wind, creating large waves in the river which enabled boats to surf and gain speed. 1st Finisher, Weta “Scored a Tri” (John & Saffron Cook), completing the 10km course in record time of 70 minutes. John and Saffron were very happy with their afternoon, winning their first line honours result this season, edging out perennial winner Dave Chester & crew Kynan Luescher with Daves Hobie 16, who lead the fleet by 3 minutes after the first lap but was forced to retire following a capsize early into the second lap. Line Honours in the mono hulls went to NS14 Tornado, (Bill Fenelon & Taj Krasna) beating second placed Laser “Siesta” (Gary McCrohan) by 2 minutes and third placed Laser “Bluey” (Kate Yeomans) only 9 seconds behind. The two big events this Sunday were the 3rd heat of the North Coast NS14 class Championship series and the Tweed River Laser Class Championship. 3 boats started in the NS14’s with only one completing the course. 30 years old and built on the Northern Rivers, NS14 Tornado was skilfully sailed and avoided damage to complete the difficult course and take the bullet. Tornado show exceptional boat speed on the fast reaching legs and lead for most of the race. New sailors, Andrew Jaggers and Jessie Normans sailed NS14 “Blue Tack”, but withdrew
