Power Independence with Solar Batteries

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

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

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

24 Hour Solar Power

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

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

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

888

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

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

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

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

The Truth About the

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

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

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

REAL Cost of Solar Batteries...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NSW Solar bonus scheme ends this year!

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

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

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

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

A TWEED HEADS man who was diagnosed with measles at The Tweed Hospital emergency department last Friday, December 9, is recovering after he was believed to have visited several public places while infectious.

People in the Tweed Heads-Palm Beach area who have not been vaccinated against the highly infectious virus are being warned to watch for symptoms which include flu-like symptoms followed by a red, blotchy rash appearing.

The man attended the South Tweed Bowls Club on Sunday December 4, the Palm Beach After Hours Doctor on December 5 and 6 and The Tweed Hospital emergency department last Friday.

The North Coast Public Health Unit has been notified of a case of measles in a resident of Tweed Heads and anticipates that other cases may emerge over coming days.

Mr Paul Corben, Public Health Director, said that measles is highly infectious among people who are not fully immunised.

“Measles is spread through coughing and sneezing.

Symptoms can include fever, tiredness, runny nose, cough and sore red eyes which usually last for several days before a red blotchy rash appears. Complications range from an ear infection and diarrhoea, through to pneumonia and swelling of the brain (encephalitis),” Mr Corben said.

“Vaccination with measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is the only way to prevent infection. Two doses of the MMR vaccine are recommended for children, with the first at 12 months and the second at 18 months of age.”

People born during or since 1966 who do not have two documented doses of MMR vaccine should contact their local health provider for vaccination advice.

People born before 1966 are usually immune because they had measles during childhood.

The MMR vaccine is free to people born during or after 1966.

“The time from exposure to the onset of symptoms is typically 8 to 18 days. People are infectious for 24 hours before symptoms appear and for the 4-5 days before the onset of rash and remain infectious until 4-5 days after appearance of the rash.

“Anyone who contracts measles should stay away from work, preschool, school and other public places until at least 4 days after the onset of the rash when they are no longer infectious,” Mr Corben said.

“Anyone with symptoms of measles should phone their General Practitioner in advance before arriving for assessment to ensure they can be isolated from other patients.”

Vaccination is the only way of preventing the occurrence of measles in our community. For vaccination to be effective, a high level of MMR vaccine coverage must be maintained.

Reports on the progress towards eradication of measles in Australia show that the overwhelming majority of measles cases that occurred in Australia in recent years were acquired either when unvaccinated Australians travelled overseas or were directly linked to returning infected travellers. At the moment there are numerous places around the globe that are experiencing measles outbreaks including many locations in USA, Indonesia, Singapore, Pakistan, the Middle East, Europe, China and Africa.

“Because of the ongoing risk of measles to travellers when overseas and to their families and local communities when they return home, it is very important that everyone checks their measles vaccination status before travelling overseas.

“If you were born since 1965 and haven’t received two doses of measles-containing vaccine, before leaving Australia you should talk with your GP about getting vaccinated,” Mr Corben advised.

For more information on measles, please go to www.health. nsw.gov.au. If you are concerned you may be at risk of measles, phone the North Coast Public Health Unit on 1300 066 055.

24-hour Chinderah service station to open soon THE grand opening of the $25 million Caltex service station at Chinderah is set for December 21 as construction crews kick into overdrive to complete the fit out.

Following a lengthy development spanning almost 12 months, Gold Coast development company Scott Property Development Investment who said it was pleased to announced another great asset on the Tweed.

The new station will offer an internal food court with KFC and McDonald’s plus organic food provider Oliver’s Real Food.

Construction began in January next to Melaleuca Station Crematorium and Scott PDI Managing Director David Scott said the chances it will open prior to Christmas are “extremely high”.

“Construction is well-advanced and we’ve only got the final fit-outs and certifications remaining,” he said.

Mr Scott said the previous deadline was shattered due to

rain delays earlier in the year.

“We have made good progress in the second half of 2016 after progress was slowed by rain delays in the first half of the year.”

The station includes a huge 121 carpark, five spaces for buses and caravans and 25 parking spaces for b-double trucks.

The station will fill the northbound need for a service station as the closest northbound stations are in Grafton.

“Therefore, this centre is very important to provide amenities to the travelling public and truck drivers in northern NSW,” Mr Scott said.

Mr Scott said about 100 people had been employed during the past 12 months of construction.

“It’s been fantastic to be able to provide this level of employment during a time where the work has been needed by the community,” he said.

The proposed date for the grand opening is set for December 21.

Carbon tax ideas floating

Once again the Liberals are tearing themselves apart over a carbon tax.

Truth is, Whyalla is still there and a leg of lamb is nowhere near $100.

The fear campaign conducted by the Liberals was based on a lie. The economy grew during the carbon tax era.

Unemployment under Labor in 2012 was only 4.9 per cent. Under Hockey? 6.3 per cent and wages rose 5.2 per cent and the stock market grew 35 per cent.

Over seven quarters there was growth in GDP of over 5 per cent and gross debt was $170 billion less than it is now under the Liberals.

Electricity prices rose 70 per cent before the carbon tax was even introduced.

The tax had little to do with power prices with the needy being generously compensated. The hypocrisy of the Liberals can be summed up by Mr Abbott. In July 2009 he told Sky news: “I also think that if you want to put a price on carbon, why not just do it with a simple tax? Why not ask motorists to pay more. Why not ask electricity consumers to pay more”.

Making Our Own Meaning

People more and more are appreciating the power of ritual.

Family, social, spiritual traditions can provide somewhere solid to rest our world-weary hearts at Christmas time.

For those without the religious significance of Christmas, meaning comes from permission to pause at year’s end, from gathering with loved ones and work colleagues to enjoy togetherness and festive eating. If there are little ones there’s the contagious energy of their enthusiasm.

There are also in this consuming culture the callous forces of commercialism to make murky the simple pleasures of giving. When stuff and the buying of it takes over

our focus and Christmas becomes something to get-over-and-donewith...how sad.

In these postmodern times of lost meaning and earth anxiety we are called on to make our own joy, our own meaning. To put in rather than mournfully follow the downward spiral. Michael Leunig says it with his weary angel preparing its spirit to fly and sing joyfully, in spite of it all. Can we become our own angels; create our own homemade, organic joy?

Can we bring into being Christmas rituals that have meaning for us?

That will nourish souls and make us stronger... in small and simple ways. That our children can take with them long after the latest fad has been surpassed.

I started (or revived) one of our family rituals when children were small. We have a day making shortbread Christmas bikkies, dredged in rose water, icing sugar and blessings, and playful fun which gets shared with family and friends who receive these biscuits as a gift of thanks for being in our lives. The kids have been part of this in some way most years, and now as young adult immigrants to Melbourne they still find wordless comfort in this simple ritual, as well as the sugar hit.

A young woman I know recalls going out with her grandfather every year to find the tree that they would bring home and decorate together.

For her it’s not about the impressiveness of the tree or decorations, it’s the relationship that was fed by that ritual of Christmas that keeps warm in her heart.

But it could be the decorations... finding or making a new angel to add to the tree each year; having a decoration-making day with children and adult friends; baking traditional or non-traditional cakes with all the family having a stir to contribute their silent good wishes to all who partake.

In families for whom the nativity is central to their meaning of Christmas, the children can commission their toys and imaginations to create their own little scene of the birth of Jesus.

The religious significance of angels and stars might not be there for many, but the ritual gathering to make or bake or build in the spirit of celebrating our connections is living love.

The quiet deep pools of meaning and shared humanity that come from these conscious acts of intention are priceless.

Have a golden Christmas.

Why do this all again?

Without a doubt, the Pottsville & District Men’s Shed should obtain a permanent site rather than temporarily locate at Black Rocks.

Even if one does not care about our Endangered Tweed Coast Koalas, moving to a temporary site is an egregious waste of rate payer dollars. At a time when budgets are increasingly an issue, a temporary move for the Men’s Shed simply makes zero sense.

We can come up with a solution that is a win-win for both men’s shedders and the koalas.

The larger Tweed community has made it very clear that it wants to see our coastal koalas survive and recover. Thus, shouldn’t we be practicing the precautionary principle when it comes to our koalas?

Locating the Men’s Shed at a permanent, more centrally located site instead of temporarily at Black Rocks will spare our endangered koalas more disturbance and stress.

Let’s get on with finding the Men’s Shed a permanent site. It makes sense for them, it makes sense for the koalas and it makes sense for our community.

Shed Member’s health is going backwards

Is the Pottsville And District Men’s Shed set to become the only men’s shed in Australia where member’s health and wellbeing has worsened because of their membership?

The work the Pottsville and District Men’s shed committee and members have carried out to get to this point in their quest towards building their shed at Black Rocks Oval has been enormous.

They have gained great satisfaction in drawing up Development applications and Construction applications all following guidelines set down by the Tweed Shire Council for the land that was allotted to them on Black Rocks Oval.

They have applied for and received Government grants for the construction of their shed also following guidelines set down by the Tweed Shire Council.

Now at the last moment, when all that is required is the signing of the lease, Councillor Milne has seen fit to stifle the plan that she instigated!

The Committee and members of the men’s shed are now spending their time correcting misconceptions and untruths put forward by a very small minority backed by Councillors Milne, Cherry, Byrne and Cooper.

Why have the Pottsville and District Men’s Shed been led down this path that once showed great

promise in delivering a Shed for the Men of Pottsville but has now turned into a political battle with alliances amongst councillors one of whom once promised to be independent and truly representative of the people of her area?

negotiation, they are likely to defend the resulting decision.

They are also likely to defend the Council that has invited them to contribute.

Mutual trust and respect will start to build.

Cr Ron Cooper, Kingscliff

Dare I dream - can Tweed Shire Council lead the way in restoring our faith in democracy?

I for one am sick of shouting at the TV and whinging with friends.

We’re all upset about how the average voter has been relegated to irrelevance – how our needs have taken second place to political point-scoring.

I do dream that Council can make democracy a real force in the Tweed – not for just a few but for everyone who wants to have a go.

It will have to begin with cultivating mutual trust and respect with the community.

For this trust and respect to develop, Council will need to acknowledge the value of life experience and common sense embedded in the community.

This collective life experience and common sense can be brought to bear on issues of growth, sustaining our lifestyle, saving our natural environment, preserving our farmlands and fostering business.

Round-table consensus decisionmaking is the way to go.

It encourages us to consider others as part of the process.

This is best achieved through a round table face-to-face discussion – the opinions of many crystallizing through compromise into group consensus.

Facial expressions, voice tone and hand gestures are part of achieving consensus.

Making new friends during this process could be a real bonus.

You should be able to follow the implementation of your decision on the Council web site or in the Link. Your councillors are there to ensure your decision progresses through the organization. We’re at the crossroads. The one-on-one consultation that occurs through the Council website, the Link, the shopfront displays, the various weekend markets and the ticka-box surveys will simply find individuals pursuing what they believe is best for them.

Council will shape the results of this one-on-one consultation to suit its preferred outcome.

This is not consensus decision making.

Shire Council for your company to remove an existing tavern business and structure located at the main entry to the NSW town of Murwillumbah, on the junction of Tweed Valley Way and Alma Street, for the purpose of installing a “Coles Express” service station and mini supermarket.

We strongly object to this proposed development as being quite inappropriate for both the site and the town: The site is quite small and the proposal would constitute over development of a small area.

It would be an unacceptable building to be sited on the main entrance to the town It would severely disrupt traffic flow at an already very busy intersection and roundabout A new service station is not needed – there are already four others within 850m Another supermarket offshoot is not needed either; there is already a major Coles store in town together with three competitors adequately serving a modestly sized community.

There is considerable local dismay at a proposal that would not enhance the amenity of the area while also visually impacting very negatively on the chief entry to the town and create a potential traffic bottleneck.

The Council has correctly reflected the community attitude to the proposal by a unanimous vote rejecting your Development Application. We urge you not to appeal for our Council’s decision to be rescinded in any other court.

Women’s Service supporters vow to fight on Federal Member says she’s

FORMER STAFF and supporters of the now closed Tweed Valley Women’s Service (TVWS) have slammed claims by On Track Community Programs (OTCP) that domestic violence victims are receiving greater care and support since the Murwillumbah facility closed.

TVWS was based near Knox Park and provided a safe and friendly environment for women to escape domestic violence and receive services to help them start new lives.

But a few days prior to Christmas last year (2015) OTCP decided to close the TVWS with little warning and much to the shock of local victims and staff.

Since the closure of TVWS, Women’s Watch Action Group headed up by Murwillumbah local Ilze Jaunberzins has been committed to monitor the domestic violence services that are provided to families in the Tweed Shire.

A petition has also run since the closure of TVWS and has now reached 9200 signatures and is being prepared to hand over to Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence Jenny Aitchison MP in February-March 2017.

“In spite of OTCP’s claiming since January 2016 that it provides the exact same services as TVWS, Women’s Watch has provided evidence to Thomas George MP and Geoff Provest MP of the significant service gaps that have persisted since January 2016,” Mrs Jaunberzins said.

“Mrs De Vos (CEO of OTCP) in the article December 8 states “contrary to critics claims a wide range of excellent services is available” - the community is keen to know exactly what these services are - where is the location of these services; how many days are centres open; how many staff are employed and how many Indigenous staff are employed.”

Mrs Jaunberzins said there was a severe lack of information or even a brochure to outline the new OTCP services replacing TVWS. “In 2015 TVWS employed 13 staff and over 75 per cent were indigenous workers and exceeded its contract by 64 per cent (from a target of 475 delivered services to women to 738 delivered),” Mrs Jaunberzins said.

“Mrs De Vos’ vague communication about actual services exacerbates the accountability and service gaps the community is experiencing.”

Mrs Jaunberzins said that although OTCP had called for the TVWS to abandon its campaign to re-instate the service, it intended to do the opposite with a recent letter to the Minister for Families and Community Services & Social Housing Brad Hazzard MP. “Women’s Watch will persist in its mission to ensure that

OTCP is accountable to the community for the $580,000 that was stripped from TVWS,” Mrs Jaunberzins said.

The letter said the people of NSW are seeking an “investigation, justice and full funding restored to a 30-year award winning DV & FV specialist walk-in service”.

“A petition requesting this investigation has harvested 1000’s of signatures meshed right across NSW ranging from Bega – Bankstown - Broken Hill – Banora Point; Sutherland – Sydney – Stokers Siding,” the letter reads.

“Compounding their deep concern is the knowledge that under Minister Pru Goward’s watch, specialist Domestic Violence Services have collapsed from 70+ services to 14.

Our community and the people of NSW are declaring ‘it stops here’.”

Several domestic violence victims and carers, who had previously used the TVWS and did not want to be named, also wrote to The Weekly and expressed their disappointment with OTCP. “I have read the article in The Weekly (December 8) but I was not amused,” one letter writer said.

“The CEO of OTCP has used an opportunity afforded to her by the privilege of access to the media to defame and denigrate the TVWS and its supporters.

“She is quoted as saying: “The reason for the closure was that the service had consistently failed to provide the protection and support to vulnerable clients required” it is certainly possible that the truth of this matter is that the TVWS had in the opinion of OTCP failed etc...

“Bear in mind that OTCP was the managing agency for the funding and stood to benefit from the assertion of failure on the part of TVWS, by taking over their role and funding.

“The article then proceeds to a gooey mish-mash of success stories with a rather concerning emphasis on client gratitude.

“And then the ultimate- advice to the afflicted – “just stop to TVWS”.

“It is not possible to say whether this is ignorance or illnatured provocation, just that it is certainly one or the other.

“People care about locally based services and they are not going to give up because it displeases you, Ms De Vos.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe a dedicated Murwillumbah domestic violence shelter, or re-establishment of TVWS, should be considered? Send your thoughts or letters to editor@theweekly.net.au

behind Women’s Service

FEDERAL MEMBER for Richmond Justine Elliot has reinforced her commitment to assist the Tweed Valley Women’s Service and an ongoing campaign to reinstate funding to a dedicated Murwillumbah domestic violence service.

Mrs Elliot said she condemned both the Baird Government and local State Member for failing to stand up for the Murwillumbah-based Women’s Service, which she said was crucial and left a lasting hole within the heart of the community.

“I stand with our local community in calling on the State Government to reinstate funding to a Murwillumbah based service who can provide support and crisis accommodation for local women and children experiencing domestic violence,” she said.

“I condemn the Baird Government and State National Party MPs Geoff Provest and Thomas George who have repeatedly refused to assist the Tweed Valley Women’s Service.

“The complete inaction by the State Government over the closure of the Tweed Valley Women’s Service is both shameful and irresponsible.”

Mrs Elliot said she would not take the advice of OTCP to cease the campaign to re-instate the service.

“In response to the inaction of the State National Party MPs, I launched a Petition demanding the State Government reinstate funding and to date we have collected over 9000 signatures demanding these services are restored immediately,” she said.

“As a former police officer, I saw firsthand the devastating impact of domestic violence on women and children in our community.

“We have a crisis that needs to be addressed, and services like the Tweed Valley Women’s Service are desperately needed and full funding must be restored.”

Parent claims son tormented by bullies THE LEGAL LIGHT! Ten point checklist to update your estate planning

New year’s resolutions usually last as long as the beer and cake left over from the Christmas party, but there are some things everyone should be doing around this time of year and that is updating your estate planning strategies.

As Tony Mitchell of Stacks Law Firm says, it sounds dull and tedious, but updating plans for your personal estate is essential if you want to maintain control over what happens to your assets and the future welfare of your loved ones.

Mr Mitchell, who specialises in commercial law and advising on estate planning strategies, has drawn up a simple ten point checklist to make sure you are up to date and on course to achieve what you want with your hard-earned nest egg.

1. Have you or any of your beneficiaries entered into a new personal relationship (for example, by being married)?

2. Have you or any of your beneficiaries ended a personal relationship (for example, by being divorced)?

3. Have you or any of your beneficiaries welcomed a new member into your family (for example, a new baby)?

4. Have you acquired or sold a new significant asset (for example, bought or sold an investment property)?

5. Have you established a self-managed superannuation fund?

6. Have you changed the way you own assets (for example, by transferring an investment property previously owned by you to a self-managed superannuation fund)?

7. Have you made a significant loan, or given a significant asset as a gift, to a family member?

8. Have you or any of your beneficiaries developed a problem with creditors (for example, a business failure)?

9. Have you or any of your beneficiaries developed a disability (for example, a health problem or an addiction)?

10. Has there been a significant change to a business in which you hold an interest (for example, a partner has retired, or a new partner has been admitted)?

“Properly administered updates are also required for several legal matters involving contracts and trusts that everyone should be aware of,” Mr Mitchell said.

These include your Will, Enduring Power of Attorney, Appointment of Enduring Guardian, Superannuation Death Benefit Nomination, Shareholder Agreement and Funded Business Succession Agreement.

“Some of these matters can be tricky to get right and need to be done in accordance with the latest changes in law. It would be wise to consult a lawyer with expertise in the field to ensure it is done correctly, and in accordance with your wishes to ensure your life savings are secure as you head towards retirement,” Mr Mitchell said.

Responsibility for comment is taken by Stacks Law Firm

A PARENT of a Wollumbin High School student says his son has been allegedly “tormented” by other students for the entire year and the parent has decided to speak out about what he believes is “ongoing cruelty”.

The parent, whose name has been withheld to conceal the student’s identity, said he was “fed up with the school system failing to take appropriate action to protect his son”.

The father recently visited The Weekly to appeal to other parents to speak out about what he says is “persistent abuse” that was allegedly inflicted on his son every day for an entire school year.

The father said he has more than 30 years’ experience as a family and child welfare worker and alleges the school is “failing in its duty of care” to prevent his son from being bullied.

“I have spoken to several families, many of whom are scared if they speak out their child would be singled out as they have been bullied when trying to report and handle their children being bullied,” he said.

“I have spoken to some teachers whom in private spoke of the bullying being rampant and out of control, teachers having to arrange special seating arrangements to protect vulnerable children while not receiving support from the administration.”

More shockingly the father said he was aware of children who are allegedly “self-harming due to being bullied daily,” he said.

However, the NSW Education Department has responded to the father’s complaint emphasising that “Wollumbin High School does not tolerate any inappropriate behaviour or bullying, and students and parents are strongly encouraged to report any incidents”.

In an email statement to The Weekly, a NSW Education spokesperson said the school responds “immediately” to any reports, supporting students who report bullying and taking disciplinary action against any bullies, according to the school’s community-agreed anti-bullying plan, which is given in hard copy to parents and which is available online.

“Disciplinary action can include short and long suspension, and in very rare cases, expulsion,” the NSW Education spokesperson said.

“This year the student (in question) has reported

New $3.5 million Kingscliff Bridge to open SANTA WILL be the first motorist to drive across Kingscliff Bridge today, Thursday, December 16, as it opens to traffic 10 days ahead of the Christmas deadline for delivery of the $3.5 million structure.

Santa will be driving a Council gang truck when he crosses the bridge at 7.15am this morning after Tweed Mayor Councillor Katie Milne cuts the ribbon to officially open the bridge. The community is invited to a breakfast to celebrate starting at 7am.

Cr Milne and Kingscliff community and business representatives will all ride with Santa on the first crossing before the bridge is opened to all traffic at approximately 7.45am, weather

permitting.

“There’s been a lot of speculation and excitement in the community for this bridge to open so Council has pulled out all stops to bring the opening forward.

“I can now confirm the new bridge will be opened tomorrow,” Council’s General Manager, Troy Green, said.

“Council workers and contractors will be working this afternoon and overnight to complete sealing both road approaches and finish line marking so the bridge can be opened as early as possible for the community.

“If there is a significant heat or rain event today, the bridge will still be opened tomorrow but we may

have to return to finish off the final construction tasks under traffic control at a later date,” he said.

The new concrete bridge has been built to carry vehicles up to 160-tonnes.

It will last for about 100 years with minimal ongoing maintenance.

It is 1.5 metres higher than the old timber bridge and has been tied into the existing pedestrian bridge. The traffic lanes are wider, at 3.1 metres each plus shoulders. The road approaches have been raised by more than a metre and widened. Both the traffic bridge and pedestrian bridge are now supported in the creek bed by a single centre pylon, rather than the three pylons that held up the old timber bridge.

inappropriate comments and physical contact, and personal items being moved.

“The students involved have been counselled, undergone mediation and/or received cautions, detentions or suspensions as appropriate.

“In one instance a student was moved to another class.

The student himself (alleged bully victim) was also moved to another class.”

However, NSW Education said the father’s son was also responsible for “inappropriate comments”.

“During the year, the student has been disciplined a number of times for inappropriate comments and questions, provoking other students and unprovoked physical contact,” the statement reads.

“The Principal, Deputy Principal, Year Advisor and Learning and Support Teacher have provided the student with social interaction strategies.

“In each case, staff have investigated, established what happened, provided appropriate support and strategies to those bullied, disciplined the students involved and supported them in improving their behaviour.”

The statement said the Deputy Principal reinforces the school’s anti-bullying messages at assemblies throughout the school year.

“Other staff also address bullying, how it comes about and what to do (including online) through classes and mentoring lessons, using the ‘Bullying! No Way!’ resource.

“The school’s Peer Mediation program also supports students in behaviour that reduces bullying.

“In addition, Year 7 undertake the Rock and Water program about self-awareness, self-confidence and social interaction.

“The PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) syllabus includes personal communication, personal space and being aware of and reacting appropriately to others’ discomfort.”

It should be noted that an anonymous survey of approximately 420 students and their parents last year showed the school to be below the NSW norm for student anxiety and the incidence of bullying, but above the NSW norm for advocacy support, teacher-student relations and classroom behaviour.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Condong Mill staff push through to help Rocky Point CONDONG MILL will continue crushing up to Christmas this year to help Rocky Point growers in Queensland finish their harvest after the Tweed completed a bumper season last week.

The Rocky Point Mill was reduced to rubble by fire earlier this year and growers feared they could lose their harvest. But it was Condong Mill to the rescue with the team delaying their Christmas break to keep on crushing up to around 40,000 tonnes.

Condong finished crushing its own Tweed Valley sugar cane late last week before gearing up to start this additional crushing for their Queensland counterparts on Saturday, December 10.

Cane growers at Rocky Point have been thrown this lifeline after a horrendous run of issues and delays.

Already months behind in harvesting and crushing their cane due to breakdowns, the growers were devastated when a recent fire destroyed the local mill

and put an end to their hopes of having their crop harvested by the end of the year.

Chief Executive Officer for Sunshine Sugar, Mr Chris Connors said it is pleasing to be able to assist in this way.

“There were a lot of issues to overcome and I want to thank all of those involved in delivering the arrangement,” Mr Connors said.

“Whilst we are expecting to only crush a maximum of 40,000 tonnes, which is well short of the total crop available, it is still a positive outcome for both the growers and the community.”

Bumper season across Northern Rivers

All three Sunshine Sugar Mills have reported a successful crush as the NSW harvest season ended late last week.

Tweed growers have enjoyed another solid growing season across the Northern Rivers, with more than 2.1

million tonnes of sugar cane cut and crushed across the Condong, Broadwater and Harwood mills.

About 582,500 tonnes of cane were processed in the Tweed Valley, with some 40,000 tonnes of this coming from Rocky Point. Richmond produced about 850,000 tonnes and Clarence cane growers provided almost 700,000 tonnes.

CCS or sugar content was up on both forecast and the previous several years’ performance (across all three areas).

So too, the price being offered to NSW growers is the highest in years, and more than any QLD growers are likely to get from their foreign owned mills.

A good harvest season, higher CCS, improved sugar prices, high factory efficiencies, and recent rainfalls all coinciding – has set the scene for an even stronger year ahead for growers across the NSW Sugar Industry.

Full book of motions for final Council meeting TWEED SHIRE Councillors have a full book of motions ahead of them for the final Ordinary Meeting for 2016 today (Thursday, December 15).

Among the resolutions includes a petition from 19 residents of Kingscliff calling on Council to address what they say is a lack of pruning and maintenance of the trees in Shell Street and surrounding the Merv Edwards and Reg Dalton fields in Kingscliff North.

The petition stated that the Cadaghi were becoming a problem during the last decade.

“Well over 250 trees surround the fields and there are about 100 planted on the south side of the sports fields,” the petition reads.

The petition said residents were not complaining about the existing park staff, who maintain the sports fields, as many of the leaves are on or across the road, in yards, driveways, roofs and guttering before they land.

“We are not anti-tree, however all trees benefit from proper and careful pruning,” the petition said.

Suggestions from the petitioners included the complete removal of some of the larger trees and replanting with more environmentally and resident friendly substitutes, prunning back a third, providing extra green bins or provide Council labour to collect and dispose of the litter and debris from gutters and footpaths weekly in the windier months.

Tourism strong: Destination Tweed Councillors will receive the latest Destination Tweed quarterly report from July to September.

The report revealed a slight dip (0.4 per cent) in day trip visitors to 1,153,000, however domestic overnight visitors increased 13.5 per cent to 582,000 and domestic visitor nights also increased by 21.2 per cent to 2,175,000.

Of interest in the report was that Destination Tweed’s coverage reaches 2,268,487 people including newspapers reaching the highest cumulative audience of 96 per cent.

Mobile towers on Council land Councillors will consider whether to release a draft plan to allow telecommunications companies, such as Telstra, to build and maintain communication towers on Council owned land.

The draft policy would require companies to lodge a development application with full consideration to the environmental impact as well as public input.

“Over the years Council has been approached by licenced telecommunications carriers to locate mobile phone and other infrastructure on Council owned land or assets,” the report reads.

“It can become rather difficult to envisage the full implications of such infrastructure being located in these locations.

“This draft Policy would require the

carriers to provide Council with specific details of the proposed infrastructure before owner’s consent is granted on a development application.

This report recommends that Council place the draft Telecommunications Facilities on Council Owned Land Policy on public exhibition, however Councillors have also been given an option to not proceed with the draft policy.

Airport says “no” to development Councillors will this week consider a 60-lot subdivision at 26 Tringa Street, Tweed Heads West near the environmentally sensitive Cobaki Creek wetlands.

The $2.6 million development was for 59 low density residential housing allotments and one residual lot.

However, the council report slammed the application for “considerably deficient in technical detail, failing to demonstrate acceptable compliance with respect to earthworks; stormwater treatment and discharge; the ability to provide sewer and water infrastructure that meets Council specifications; impacts on existing Council infrastructure and acceptable internal road widths.”

“On merit considerations, the proposed residential subdivision conflicts with the key aims and objectives of the Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014 (TLEP 2014), Council’s primary planning instrument, and has failed to adequately address the objectives of other key clauses within that plan,” the report continues.

“Unacceptable discharge of untreated stormwater runoff to Cobaki Creek, an environmental sensitive area identified under State Environmental Planning Policy 14 Coastal Wetlands, is also apparent.”

Gold Coast Airport management have also slammed the development application with a strong written objection stating: “due to the severe level of affectation of the site by aircraft noise, GCAPL considers that the site is entirely unsuitable for development of residential premises, and that the application should be refused and an alternative land use selected”.

Further concerns have been raised with 26 Tringa Street including Council being informed by the applicant that damage to trees onsite had been identified on August 2 (2016).

A site visit by Council Officers on August 17 confirmed that about 60 trees had drill holes about 10mm in diameter on the lower trunk of the trees.

Several trees that had been drilled showed signs of decline including leaf fall and canopy dieback.

The types and estimated number of trees that appear to have been drilled are 55 Melaleuca trees and Casuarina glauca (Swamp Oak).

In the council’s conclusion it stated the application as submitted is deficient in supporting information; “however, it is considered that sufficient detail has been

submitted to determine that the nature of the proposal is unsuitable for the site”.

“This unsuitability is reflected in the proposal’s inability to adequately meet the aims and objectives of Council’s primary statutory planning instrument and noncompliance with the applicable statutory and strategic framework, and the proposals non-compliance with the Council endorsed Tweed Coast Koala Plan of Management,” the report said.

Councillors have the options to deny or defer the application for further consideration.

Child care centre and medical centre plans for Casuarina Councillors will consider a $4.5 million development application for a child care centre, four medical centres, office space, retail space, food and drink premises, gymnasium and associated earthworks at 478-480 Casuarina Way, Casuarina.

The development is designed to address a growing population and demand for services on the Tweed Coast.

The site, if approved, is likely to result in significant local employment opportunities with a total of 77 child care places available and 11 staff employed as well as dozens of staff needed across the retail, office and medical centre services.

Located on the northern aspect of the site, the centre takes the form of three single storey post-modern wings in a triangular layout surrounding a central outdoor playspace.

The materials utilised include a mix of brick and light weight cladding, low pitch skillion colorbond roofing with the design featuring articulation and splashes of colour enhancing interest to the inward oriented building.

Along the southern boundary are three contemporary buildings connected by covered walkways surrounding a courtyard and outdoor dining precinct.

The two primary buildings are two storeys whilst the detached third building to the east is single storey; all of a coastal character featuring gabled ended roofs, expansive glazing, highlight windows and wrap around verandas.

Vehicular access is from Casuarina Way to the east with the car park which runs parallel to the southern boundary between the child care centre and commercial buildings that provides 79 car parking spaces which includes three accessible spaces in addition to one small rigid vehicle space.

In its conclusion the Council documents said the proposed mixed use development “is consistent with the approved Concept Plan for Casuarina Town Centre and is considered to make a positive contribution to the streetscape”.

“The proposal is supported subject to the application of appropriate conditions of consent.”

Councillors have been given two options for the application with option 1 approval

being the recommended option.

Water slides back on the table

An application to redevelop two waterslides at the BIG 4 North Star Holiday Park in Hastings Point is back on the agenda for Councillors to consider this week.

The motion follows a previous denial by the former Councillors and recent deferral led by Mayor Katie Milne to investigate the matter in greater detail.

BIG 4 owner Ian Bedel previously told The Weekly that it was “imperative” the park be given the greenlight on the redeveloped waterslides to compete with a growing tourism offer overseas in areas such as Bali.

Mr Bedel has also adjusted some of the original development proposal including the addition of noise buffers, decreased heights and address concerns around public use of the slides.

Councillors have two options including the first which is recommend to approve the application with conditions.

However, the second option was to refuse the application and advise Mr Bedel in writing of the determination and “defend any appeal lodged by the applicant in the Land and Environment Court”.

Licensing sought for aquatic hire Councillors will consider an application for aquatic hire licenses including locations such as Jack Evans Boat Harbour for a three-year period.

Licence to conduct a non-motorised aquatic hire business was called to receive Expression of Interest submissions from organisations wishing to attain a licence to operate a non-motorised aquatic hire business at three available locations; Jack Evans Boat Harbour (JEBH), Cudgen Creek (Kingscliff) and Cudgera Creek (Hastings Point) for a three-year period.

These businesses hire out non-motorised recreational water craft such as canoes, paddleboards, windsurfers and the like.

At the time of closing eight offers were received from six bidders, comprising of four offers for the Jack Evans Boat Harbour licence site and two each for the Cudgen Creek and Cudgera Creek licence sites.

In its discussion notes Council said while there was some disparity in the licence fees Offered for JEBH and Cudgera Creek sites, “the quantum of income to Council produced by these licences is relatively insignificant.”

“This being the case, the offer of a bidder should be considered more in terms of providing a community service than being an income-generator for Council.

“Having these hire facilities at these sites is also a mechanism for managing the number of similar operations that can operate from the coastal waterways. The decision for Council then may be framed in terms of ‘which bid provides the best outcome for the community?”

Councillors have a range of options to consider including awarding the licenses or denying them.

Blues select Kingscliff as homebase to thrash Maroons in Origin 2017 THE BLUES have selected Kingscliff as their base to prepare for two of the State of Origin clashes in Brisbane next year.

NSW Rugby League Chairman Dr George Peponis and NSW VB Blues Coach Laurie Daley joined Member for Tweed Geoff Provest MP and Tweed Shire Councillor Pryce Allsop at the Mantra on Salt on Friday, December 9, to make the announcement (pictured right).

Mr Daley said he believed the move to the Tweed would result in better preparation for the two Brisbane Origin matches, with less training time lost in travel.

“We wanted to change our approach to the Brisbane games and have less time in Brisbane, as well as not losing a day in travel as we have done in the past,” Mr Daley said.

“When NRL teams play in Brisbane they don’t arrive three days in advance of the game.

“In addition, the Tweed has a strong Rugby League history and it will be great to have the support of the local community as we prepare for the series.”

The Blues will assemble at the Mantra on Salt Beach at Kingscliff for a week prior to the match, arriving on the

Tuesday after the team announcement at The Star in Sydney and travel to Brisbane by bus on the eve of Origin, the following Tuesday.

The side will also train on the local Cudgen Leagues Club fields.

Dr Peponis said the Tweed region’s proximity to Brisbane, as well as the quality of the facilities and partnerships NSWRL had formed with key stakeholders, had been a major factor in choosing Kingscliff as the team’s new base.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to come to the Tweed region to prepare for the 2017 Holden State of Origin Series and are really thankful to Geoff Provest MP, the NSW State Member for Tweed, and the Tweed Shire Council for making it possible,” Dr Peponis said.

Mr Provest and Cr Allsop were both proud to be able to support the Blues camp in Kingscliff and believe it will be a major economic and tourism boost to the Tweed region, as well as providing an advantage for the team.

Mr Provest said: “Bringing our 2017 State of Origin team to train at the very gates of Maroon territory is a clever tactic and I know football fans and the wider Tweed community

will be as excited about this announcement as I am.”

Today’s announcement follows other key changes by the NSWRL Board following a review of the 2016 Holden State of Origin Series last month, which included the appointment of Peter Sterling (adviser), John Cartwright (assistant coach) and Mark Donaldson VC (assistant team manager).

Origin tickets, as well as The Star-backed Blatchys Blues memberships, are now on sale. Visit www.NSWRL.com.au for more information.

I’m a celebrity production wants to stay on at Dungay

IT’S BEEN a golden run for the hit television series “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here” at Dungay, and it turns out the production company loved the Tweed so much they’re asking Council for a 36-month extension.

Watched by millions across the globe and featuring the Tweed’s natural beauty with every sweeping shot, the Granada Production partnership with Tweed Shire Council has been largely positive and lucrative.

However, not all residents agree and several have lodged complaints about the production continuing including concerns around the construction or permanent and semi-permanent infrastructure.

The original development application from Granada was approved on December 20, 2002, and one of the original conditions was to set a time limit on the development as the applicant thought filming would be completed by June 1, 2004.

Due to the success of the program internationally there have been opportunities for further productions and this will be the seventh application for an extension on the time frame.

The last of these time limit extensions approved continued operations from June 2014 to June 2017. The current proposed extension is to time limit the consent to June 1 2020, being a further 36-month extension.

This modification also seeks to amend the site layout plan to reflect the present requirements for site structures and improvements, these include, the configuration of temporary buildings in

the support areas, and two permanent structures (a shed and a small retaining wall) at Dungay Creek Road.

Following public notices and advertising, a total of 11 submissions have been received including 10 opposing the extension (four from the same family), and one in support of the development.

Council’s report highlighted the economic benefit of continuing the partnership including more than $1 million drawn into the region through local accommodation.

Further mention was given to the presenters who plugged the Tweed Shire more than a few times on air to millions of global viewers.

“During the 2016 filming period alone the total spend on NSW local accommodation will be $1,091,500, furthermore, during the current filming season the two main presenters have acknowledged their location as sunny Tweed Shire at least six times live during filming,” the report reads.

“In addition, the show has closing credits that state “with thanks to Tweed Shire”.

This sort of local spend is crucial to the local economy and the positive international exposure to the beautiful environmental attributes of the Tweed could only assist our tourism industry.”

“Therefore, the recommendation is for the extension in time and other changes to the consent to be granted subject to modified and further conditions (to refine onsite environmental management) as detailed further within this report.”

Councillors will consider the Granada application tonight during the final Ordinary Meeting for 2016 (Thursday, December 15).

Spirit of community alive and well

TWEED SHIRE Council CEO Troy Green has praised residents who turned a negative into a positive after the Murwillumbah Christmas tree at Alma Street was set alight by vandals.

News the tree had been vandalised on Saturday, December 10, spread quickly across the community with locals rallying behind the spirit of Christmas to help the tree shine once more.

However, several locals spoke to The Weekly and said the Christmas tree prior to the vandalism had been due for a desperate upgrade and looked “tired”.

In response, Mr Green said the tree was first erected by Council last year in response to a call from South Murwillumbah businesses to have some decoration at the entrance to the town.

“The Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber had earlier opted to not have a tree in 2015 but to spend time working with artists to create a Christmas tree with an art deco theme (an ‘Artable’ tree) more suited to Murwillumbah than the lit-up traditional Christmas trees at Tweed Heads and Kingscliff, provided by the respective Chambers of Commerce and Council,” Mr Green said.

“The tree did not go ahead this year due to works in Budd Park relocating the pontoon.”

Mr Green said the Council had no immediate plans to replace the tree, however there’s plans for Christmas 2017.

“Council has no plans to replace the ‘community tree’ until after Christmas,” Mr Green said.

“The Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber’s ‘Artable’ art deco themed tree (now known as the ‘Sacred Littoral’ by artist Stuart Cussons) will be ready for Christmas 2017 and will be erected in Budd Park for the public to enjoy. This is a project between the Chamber and Council.”

Mr Green said vandalism was always disappointing, “but particularly when targeted at a symbol of Christmas and holiday time so loved by many in the community”.

“It is assumed the vandalism of the tree is related to the many broken bottles found

littered through Budd Park on Saturday morning,” he said.

“Council and police will be reviewing CCTV footage of the area from the night in the hope of finding and prosecuting those responsible.”

In his final comments, Mr Green wanted to congratulate all those involved for seeing a problem and doing something about it.

“This is what community spirit is about and Murwillumbah is certainly blessed with plenty of it,” he said.

“Residents are proud of the town and took action to restore town pride and to welcome visitors over the Christmas period.

They turned a negative into a positive – well done.”

Those responsible for re-decorating the tree including the original instigator Teila Rose Bradbury said they would like to invite the vandal(s) back next year to help decorate the tree.

“It would be a great way to teach them the value of Christmas and what it means to be a part of the Murwillumbah community,” she said.

Tweed hospitals health report card

OPENING HOURS:

MURWILLUMBAH DISTRICT Hospital and The Tweed Hospital are reaching their elective surgery and emergency department targets and performing better than their Northern Rivers counterparts according to the latest hospital report released by the Bureau of Health Information (BHI) last week.

The ‘Hosptial Quartely’ report found that during the July to September 2016 quarter patients are waiting less time for treatment in the emergency department and for most elective surgeries despite increased demand.

Wayne Jones, Chief Executive, Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSW LHD) told The Weekly the Health District is pleased with the results.

“The NNSW LHD has welcomed the latest BHI Quarterly Report regarding Emergency Department (ED) and Elective Surgery performance across the Health District,” he said.

“The BHI Report performance indicators show an improvement in waiting times across all triage categories for both Murwillumbah District Hospital (MDH) and The Tweed Hospital (TTH) Emergency Departments, compared with the same quarter last year.”

ACROSS BOTH hospitals all patients received elective surgery within 12 months, which has improved from 15 at Murwillumbah Hospital and 58 at The Tweed Hospital who were still waiting for surgery after 12 months at the same time last year.

Murwillumbah Hospital is performing 100 per cent of its urgent, semi-urgent and non-urgent surgery within the recommended timeframes where urgent surgery is recommended within 30 days, semi-urgent within 90 days and non-urgent within 365 days.

Figures from The Tweed Hospital show that almost 100 per cent of patients are receiving all categories of surgery within the recommended timeframes. Compared to the same time last year patients at Tweed wait two days less for urgent surgery (12 days), eight days more for semi-urgent surgery (47 days) and six days more for

non-urgent surgery (246 days).

Waiting times at The Tweed Hospital for ear nose and throat surgery (193 days) have increased from last year (136 days) along with general surgery (30 days, increased from 22 last year). There is a significantly shorter wait for Orthopaedic surgery (74 days) compared to its peer group of medium hospitals (224 days).

At Murwillumbah Hospital compared to the same time last year patients wait seven days less for urgent surgery (12 days), 12 days less for semi-urgent surgery (41 days) and three days more for non-urgent surgery (311 days).

Orthopaedic surgery (eg hip and knee replacements) at Murwillumbah Hospital are being performed at a median of 64 days which is exceptionally lower than other small hospitals who have a wait of 147 days.

Long waits for eye surgery COMPARED TO the same time last year there are an additional 210 patients waiting for surgery at Murwillumbah Hospital and 91 per cent of those are waiting for nonurgent surgery.

Patients are currently waiting a median of 330 days for eye surgery (opthamology) and 276 days for ear nose and throat surgery which is higher than the peer group of small NSW hospitals who have a wait time of 270 days and 141 days respectively.

Wayne Jones confirmed that a second ophthalmologist has been appointed to deal with the demand.“All ophthalmology surgery is performed at MDH, where a second ophthalmologist has recently been appointed. The elective surgery waiting list is closely monitored by management and clinicians to ensure the hospital achieves the recommended treatment timeframes.”

Reduced waiting times at emergency departments BOTH HOSPITALS have seen a 4.6 per cent increase in Emergency Department (ED) presentations compared to the same time last year. Over the three months Murwillumbah Hospital treated 4,016 patients and The Tweed Hospital treated 12,312 patients.

There has been a decrease across the board at both hospitals for Emergency Department waiting times. At Murwillumbah Hospital emergency presentations wait five minutes, urgent wait 11 minutes, semi-urgent wait 13 minutes and non-urgent wait only 13 minutes.

These figures are significantly better than the state average of 21 minutes for urgent, 27 minutes for semi-urgent and 24 minutes for non-urgent.

Patients wait five minutes for emergency presentations at The Tweed Hospital, 15 minutes for urgent, 13 minutes for semiurgent and only 10 minutes for non-urgent.

At Murwillumbah Hospital 88.5 per cent of patients are discharged from the emergency department within the recommended four hour timeframe, well above the current state target announced by Premier Mike Baird last year of 81 per cent.

Figures from The Tweed Hospital Emergency Department show that 79.7 per cent of patients are being discharged within

the four hour timeframe, just below the state target. These figures are much better than other North Coast hospitals, Lismore Hospital is performing the worst with 36.5 per cent waiting more than four hours to be discharged from emergency followed by Port Macquarie (31.2 per cent), Coffs Harbour (29.7 per cent) and Ballina (25.3 per cent) The most common presentation to Murwillumbah Hospital Emergency department is semi-urgent (eg sprained ankle, earache) at 51.9 per cent, a 6.9 per cent increase from last year. There has been a 26.2 per cent increase in non-urgent presentations of 347 patients, for example small cuts or abrasions. Most patients do not require hospital admission and 84 per cent are discharged home.

The Tweed Hospital sees more urgent cases with the most common presentation being urgent (48.3 per cent) which includes moderate blood loss and dehydration, a 0.7 per cent decrease from last year. The Emergency Department is continuing to grow with more than 2,700 additional presentations over the past five years.

More patients require hospital admission from the Tweed Emergency Department at 34 per cent, a 2 per cent increase from last year.

Advertorial

Steiner Education Today for Tomorrow’s World STEINER EDUCATION is a growing system throughout Australia and the world. Just this year 3 new schools opened to join the over 40 already existing in Australia, including 4 in the Northern Rivers area.

Many parents are questioning the existing mainstream approach in a time of rapid change. Is technology-centred education going to open a constructive, creative-education door for pre-school through primary education? In an increasingly technologically-driven world, which should come first: the chicken of computer skills (which will have radically changed by the time the children grow up) or the egg of creative potential to be technologically innovative? Children need to be prepared for a world where the working environment will be totally different from today.

Steiner education is based around a thorough understanding of child development, (physical, emotional and mental) studied, tested, followed and observed by Steiner teachers and parents around the world for almost a hundred years. This is no longer mere theory.

Bearing in mind that every child is different, children from birth to around 7 essentially learn through imitation and play. What you tell a little child to do is of less importance than what you do around him/her. In a Steiner school, doing what the teacher does, (cooking, gardening, painting, drawing, modelling, dancing, exploring and more) is the method of “instruction” in kindergarten. The children are given time to play out life’s activities.

Children who have much screen time find creative play difficult.

They often actually have to be taught how to play. This is the recent experience of Steiner Schools where kindy play is part of the daily programme.

A further observable consequence of imitation/play is the unfolding in life of a sense of freedom, the first of the French Revolution’s three hopes: liberty.

The love and respect for a teacher who can lead them into the world through understanding and imagination is the ideal for children from around 7 (during the significant event of change of teeth) to around 14 (as puberty evolves). At this time learning developed through lesson content guided caringly by the Class Teacher. Steiner Schools again use what is naturally inherent in the the child at that age: imagination.

The content of English, Maths, Sciences, History, Geography, Social and Personal Skills is presented through story (the letters, for example, become living characters) and developed through the arts.

Children by nature want to learn. Whilst it is important for character development to do things that you don’t want to do, overall the children should enjoy learning. Grammar can be fun as well as hard

work; singing the times tables to a catchy tune and/or dancing them helps them to remember; drawing an animal in detail is a perfect way to come to grips with its physiology.

All of the arts including music (they all learn an instrument), song, drawing, painting, drama, poetry and speech, modelling, along with crafts and handwork such as sewing, knitting, crochet, woodwork, building, glasswork, sculpture and more are used to develop the lesson content, strengthen perseverance and persistence in task completion and add agility to the mind.

At this age the social skills are developing. Through story and the way lesson content is presented these skills are fostered. The children learn to respect each other and to work together. Again, this is done through the child’s imagination. The second of the French Revolution’s hopes, “equality” is a consequence: equality of rights and responsibilities.

The physical and psychological health of each child is valued.

Everything in the schools is done with health as a priority. The question we ask is not, “Is it good or bad for the children to pursue a particular act?” The question is, “Is it healthy?”

Working in this way through, play to an imaginative and creative interest in the world and addressing of all of the N.S.W Curriculum requirements is designed to develop children and young adults who can question intelligently, act positively in the world and freely unfold their individuality.

The 3rd phase, from around 14 to adulthood is where the young people want to explore the world and all of its complexities. Critical thinking and judgement come to the fore. They want teachers who will lead them into the various subject areas and allow them to think and make judgements, helping them to be aware of possibilities. This is the age where they need to explore technology, where it can be demystified and explored as a science and as a tool that can be used creatively. The Arts, including electronic arts, are expanded.

At this age where the faculty of love is emerging, the third of the French Revolution’s hopes, “Brotherhood”, the ability to work together and care for each other can be evolved. Part of this involves respect for the environment and sustainability.

Order in the class all though schooling comes essentially through teachers understanding each child, respecting each one’s individuality and working in a way that is appropriate for each age. Security comes through the regular daily rhythm.

Working holistically, educating through “head, heart and hands” is the way of Steiner Education. Opening up to the possibilities in life, being aware of the way the world is unfolding into a vastly different future than the one we have grown up in and giving the children the flexible capacities and initiative that will enable them, as securely as possible, to flow into that world is the daunting task facing all teachers. Steiner teachers must be conscious of the world as it is and as it appears to be evolving, aware also that life’s path is never certain.

DECEMBER represents many things to people; end of school year and other studies for some, loads of extra shopping, the beginning of HOT weather, gearing down or winding up for holidays. Some call this period of the year ‘the silly season’, others refer to it as ‘the holidays.’

In reality, it all points to our celebrations of Christmas, so what is Christmas really all about?

Christmas is centrally about the birth of Jesus Christ. There have many great men and women down through the centuries and millennia, but they don’t get an international holiday set aside to celebrate both their birth and death, so why is it so for Jesus Christ? There has been no other person who has impacted history and the lives of so many people world-wide, that’s why. The reason He makes such an impact on people is because of some unavoidable truths; Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to earth to die for the sin of the world, and was raised to life after being dead for three days. The facts of this are stunning enough, but it’s the difference believing in Him makes in the lives of people which is worth celebrating every day of the year. Believing in Jesus not only gives secure hope for an eternal future accepted and forgiven by Almighty God, it means people can experience the power and presence of God in their daily lives. Any wonder the world celebrates.

Pastor Phil Gibbs Despite the popular view that the world is not a pretty place, I hold a different opinion. In my vocation as a catholic priest I meet people at the best or worse times of their lives and most times in between. I am constantly heartened by the goodness and generosity of people, none more so than at Christmas.

Despite what the evening news tells us people are fundamentally good.

For example, I wrote this in a recent parish bulletin: I would also like to offer my deepest gratitude to the teachers, parents, students and musicians who gave an enormous amount of time to the production of the Christmas Tableau. Without the Nativity the carnival is just another fete. 800 people heard and watched the story of Jesus’ birth. It is an amazing story that never gets tired and that we never get sick of watching. I believe the story of our Saviour’s birth goes well beyond the four walls of the Gilbey Centre. It seeps into and enters the hearts of everyone who was there to witness it.

Without good and generous people the Christmas Tableau would not have happened. Just as happened in our town recently after the Christmas tree was burnt down, good and generous people emerged to make a difference. The story of Christmas and the birth of Jesus is well and truly alive!

May God bless you and your families richly this Christmas.

Christmas Service at

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.

All Welcome

THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

Local News 25

Christmas is one of the most important days among Christians. This day commemorates and celebrates the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas is more than just a holiday. It is the remembrance of the fact that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus’ birthday-Christmas--is about God’s love. It is about God’s love for you and me. It is God expressing His great love for mankind, through the giving of the greatest gift, the Lord Jesus Christ. He loves us not because of what we are, but He loves us because of what He knows we can become, if we’ll allow Him to get involved in our lives.

“It’s such an honour to represent our community and I’m so proud of how much we’ve achieved by working together.

“Together in 2017 we’ll continue to fight for issues that are important to us like the return of the Tweed Valley Women’s Service and full Medicare funded MRI services at the Tweed Hospital.

“We’ve shown that when we stand together we can achieve so much. I’ll continue to be a strong voice in Canberra for the issues that are important to us.”

“It’s a shame to think that anyone would vandalise the displays,” she said.

“But it has happened recently which was disappointing, although it doesn’t sway our Christmas cheer.”

CONTESTING A WILL

HOW EASY IS IT TO BRING A CLAIM? COURT PROVIDES GUIDELINES FOR CLAIMS BY ADULT CHILDREN There has been a dramatic increase in the number of claims brought by family members in deceased estate matters. Australia has an aging population and the post World War II generation of children born during the 1940’s and 1950’s are coming to the latter phases of their life spans. These hardworking parents usually have a family home which has appreciated in value substantially, along with other assets including savings and superannuation. It is not unusual for current day estate values to be valued at several million dollars.

Inevitably this increase in the value of the assets of parents who are dying leads to disagreements amongst the family when it comes to dividing up the estate assets amongst the surviving beneficiaries. The advent of the internet and the increased access to information for people has contributed to an increased awareness of legal rights with respect to estate matters. Indeed, a short Google search will quickly inform you of the rights of certain parties to make a claim in each of the states and territories of Australia.

This Google search will usually include a list of lawyers advertising for estate litigation claims, frequently on a “no win no fee” basis.

The factors the Court considers in the assessment of the above questions include the nature and size of the estate; the provision (if any) made for the applicant in the Will; the financial circumstances and ‘needs’ of the applicant for his or her maintenance and advancement in life; the nature of the relationship between him or her and the deceased; any contribution (financial and non-financial) to the deceased’s welfare and to the acquisition, maintenance or improvement of the deceased’s estate and the extent of the claims of other persons on the estate of the deceased.

Whilst the Court will take into account all of the factors outlined above the predominant considerations for the Court are the relationship between the applicant and the deceased person and the financial circumstances of the applicant.

In the event that the Court is satisfied that the power to make an order is enlivened then the Court determines whether it should make an order, and if so, the nature of any such order, having regard to the facts known to the Court at the time the order is made. The decision made at the second stage involves an exercise of It is no surprise to understand that this has led discretion. to an increased number of applications being made to the Courts in family provision claims. TIME LIMITS TO BRING A CLAIM These are claims made by eligible applicants who challenge the Will of the deceased on the There are time limits applicable to claims brought grounds that it has not made adequate provision against an estate. In Queensland claimants for them. A similar claim can also be made in have 6 months from the date of death to provide estates where there is no Will and the laws of written notice of an intention to claim and a claim intestacy apply. must be filed in the Court within 9 months of the In recent times various Supreme Courts in the states of Australia have appeared to take a more conservative approach to claims being made by adult children, especially in circumstances where the adult beneficiary is able bodied and financially established. It is difficult to generalise in relation to these claims because they each turn on their own facts, but there has certainly been a trend for Courts to deny claims made by adult applicants who are independently secure in their financial circumstances. This can apply even when the estate assets are of a reasonably high value.

Lyn Chapman with all her trophies.

Local News 29

The other issue that is relevant in this equation is the conduct of the adult beneficiary towards the deceased and the family generally. Although what constitutes ‘disentitling conduct’ in relation to an estate is a wide and varied issue, recent decisions are focusing on the moral aspect of the claim and the character of the beneficiary bringing the claim against the estate in deciding what provision is adequate in the circumstances of the case. The Courts attempt to follow general community expectations when it comes to considering these issues in claims by adult children.

date of death.

In New South Wales you have 12 months from the date of death to bring a claim although there is provision for executors to distribute the assets of an estate after 6 months from the date of death providing that they advertise and give a notice of intention to distribute the assets.

The Court has discretion to direct an application be heard out of time. The onus is on the applicant to establish sufficient grounds for extending the time limit. The most significant considerations for the Court in exercising the discretion include: whether there is an adequate explanation for the delay, whether the beneficiaries are prejudiced and whether the estate remains intact. Court’s take a very strict approach to applications commenced outside the statutory time limit.

The best practice is to obtain legal advice from lawyers who specialise in this area of law as soon as possible. It is certainly not problematic to obtain preliminary advice from a lawyer on the prospects of a claim and most firms will provide this preliminary advice free of charge. Some cases may be taken on a “no win no fee” basis.

Councillors spread some Christmas joy Christmas message

CHRISTMAS IS a time of Peace, Love and Joy. A time for family and friends.

As we approach Christmas I reflect on the past year and the achievements within Tweed Shire.

Kennedy Drive upgrade (9 million) finished and open; after many frustrating years for residents.

Contracts for Kingscliff Foreshore ($20 million) project about to be let and started in 2017 Kingscliff Bridge ($4 million) will be open before the 2016 Christmas period Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre has Cr Warren Polglase had over 106,000 visitors in 2016 The challenge lies ahead for the elected Councillors to implement the water augmentation programme for the future of our Tweed Shire water supply. This will require the approval to construct a new water holding facility.

Let us all reach out with love to those who are lonely on this Christmas, who may have family far away. Reach out with Peace to family, friends and neighbours.

Warren and Karlene wish all a wonderful Christmas full of Peace, Love, and Joy. We wish all a Happy New Year with good Health, Peace and Success in 2017.

WHAT A year it’s been. To all the good people of the Tweed I like to take this advantage and wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

It’s been real rollercoaster ride this year. So many up’s and downs throughout the year. Committing to running for council.

The merits and then the possible pitfalls. Once decided that running for council was what I felt I should do, it was like putting the foot on the accelerator just a little bit more each day until we were really motoring along.

We had a great pit crew, really Cr Pryce Allsop the best team you could get. We did take a big detour along the way.

So many conversations about what had occurred. Members of the public and people of the business community.

Then the sad news of Ken Nicholson’s passing, then the election reboot which allowed our team back into the race, Wow. It sure ended up being one very long election haul.

Fortunately we hit a cord with our public Always the business has had to provide for us.

Having four children a wife, then our business my wife Carol and myself have to keep operating.

So now the business will be sharing one of it’s only two staff with the Tweed Shire and it’s Council.

We still need to create the income to live. Talking out the possibiltie’s of actually running for council, the costs, the questions of, can I contribute or can we create benefits for the Tweed and the Communities really were at the forefront of the conversations.

Stepping up to the plate came from people supporting some of verbal solutions we had discussed and that I’d presented through conversations with a broad spectrum of the community, Business owners, customers and friends.

Speaking through many of the difficulties the Tweeds communities are faced with it was almost compelling

CHRISTMAS IS a special time to reflect on all that we have achieved. It is a time 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. Those who are homeless or who are required to work in health care and police services.

Cr Reece Byrnes I wish to thank the Tweed Community for their support in this year’s Tweed Shire Council Election and wish everyone and their families a peaceful and joyful Christmas.

It has been a busy year for the Tweed Shire and I look forward to continue working with and serving the community in 2017.

(Editor’s note: please look out for more Christmas and New Year messages from Councillors in the December 29 double edition. Merry Christmas everyone.)

from State Members

WE PAY tribute to all those living in the electorate for their support during 2016.

It’s been a very busy year and without the help and support of the good people of this region, we could not have achieved the results we have.

But with the festive season upon us, we take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and holy Christmas.

Christmas is a wonderful time to relax and reflect with family and friends.

It is also a time to acknowledge the support and time given by the many emergency services personnel and volunteers who work so diligently to protect our area.

We are lucky to live in such a glorious part of the world and as others come to visit and share in its beauty, please take extra care to ensure a safe holiday season, especially whilst out and about on the roads and in the water.

May the peace and joy of Christmas be with you at this time and trust we will all be blessed with good health and happiness in 2017.

TRADIES

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

TOP Christmas

Why should you use a local tradesperson Learn the tradie lingo FORGET THE internet when it comes to finding your next local tradesperson and look no further than The Weekly for trusted local tradies that keep locals employed.

Whether it’s a complete roof or lawn mowing service, you can find most trades you need in The Weekly and ensure you’re not only supporting someone in their job, but you’re also supporting a local family to not just survive by thrive.

By choosing local businesses for your services, you not only enjoy a more distinctive and personal experience you’re helping: BUILD A STRONG TWEED: The casual encounters you enjoy at neighbourhood–scale businesses and the public spaces around them build relationships and community cohesiveness.

STRENGTHEN THE TWEED ECONOMY: Each dollar you spend with a local tradie returns three times the amount to the Tweed economy than one spent on the Gold Coast.

SHAPE OUR CHARACTER: Independent businesses help give your community its distinct personality.

LOWER TAXES: More efficient land use and more central locations mean local businesses put less demand on our roads, sewers, and safety

services. They also generate more tax revenue per sales dollar. The bottom line: a greater percentage of local independent businesses keeps your taxes lower.

ENHANCE CHOICES: A wide variety of independent businesses, each serving their customers’ tastes, creates greater overall choice for all of us.

INCREASE WEALTH: The multiplier effect created by spending locally generates lasting impact on the prosperity of local tradespeople.

MORE JOBS AND OPPORTUNITIES: Not only do independent businesses employ more people directly per dollar of revenue, they also are the customers of local printers, accountants, wholesalers, farms, attorneys, etc expanding opportunities for local entrepreneurs.

GIVE BACK TO THE TWEED: Small businesses donate more than twice as much per sales dollar to local non-profits, events, and teams compared to big businesses.

ENHANCE TWEED’S DEMOCRACY: Local ownership of business means residents with roots in the community are involved in key development decisions that shape our lives and local environment.

ENHANCE HEALTH OF RESIDENTS: Research shows

a strong correlation between the percentage of small locally-owned firms and various indicators of personal and community health and vitality.

LEARN THE TRADIE LINGO Here is your guide to help you understand some of the more common slang words you may hear local tradespeople using from time to time.

Tradies say: Which means: Barbie BBQ or barbecue. Usually a relaxed social get

together where food (usually meat) is cooked on a

grill or hotplate.

Bikkie Biscuit Bingle Motor vehicle accident Bloke Man, guy Bluey Bluebottle (stinging jellyfish). It can also mean blue

cattle dog or redheaded person or just about anyone Boardies Board shorts.

Bottle-o Liquor shop, off-licence Chewy Chewing gum Chook Chicken, usually a hen Cuppa Cup of tea or coffee Digger Soldier or ex-serviceman Daks Trousers Esky Large, insulated food/ drink container.

IT’S BEEN a big year that has flown by like no other.

I began the year hoping that by this Christmas I would have been elected to Council and I’m delighted its happened.

I want to thank The Tweed’s Residents for putting their faith in me and I will do all I can to deliver positive change to the Shire.

We have a new look council and we’ve started working well together - with our final meeting for the year this week we go into the festive break with our heads full of information, thoughts and ideas - it’s a great time for us to take a breather and prepare ourselves for the year ahead.

It’s going to be a big year and one of my priorities will be to ensure that The Councillors can all work collaboratively, constructively and positively together to deliver what Tweed needs for a prosperous, healthy and happy future.

Next Christmas I think the biggest gift that Council can give to The Shire will be a resolution to The Tweed’s Water Supply Augmentation. For the future health, prosperity and well-being of the Shire it is essential that a decision is made in 2017 and I will be working closely with all my fellow councillors to make this happen - however, I can’t do it alone. I’d like to wish everyone in Tweed a happy and relaxing festive season and an amazing 2017.

Chantal Waters

LAST TUESDAY night the North Coast Entertainment Industry Association (NCEIA) Dolphin Music Awards were held at the Ballina RSL. The award night was fantastic with two of the Tweed’s finest acts winning awards.

I interviewed Matty Rogers, winner of Song of the Year ‘Walk to the Water’ and Best Male Vocal for ‘So Cold’, and Tupenny Opera, winner of the Alternative/Indie Award with ‘Our Wars’.

It’s very exciting that these wonderful innovative musicians are being recognised and acknowledged for their input to the overall music scene on the Far North Coast.

Hi Matty, what an honour to win two awards at the Dolphins this year.

“I really felt like I walked through the door to a big family. It was really special and an acknowledgement of the hard work I have put in.”

What advice would you give to other people that want to enter the awards?

“100 per cent I would encourage others to definitely apply, I think that they should really strive for the best quality recording that they can get, look for a great producer, once you get a great recording then the doors will start to open.

Where to from here?

“Being accepted to play at Falls Festival has opened the doors for other festivals and that’s where I want to head and just getting more exposure in Radio. Triple J have been playing my songs on Roots and all but my aim is to get into prime time slots and boost my profile and the Dolphin Awards and Falls Festival has opened a world of opportunity to me. I’m thinking of bringing a publicist on board. I believe you have to strike while the irons hot, there are some amazing things happening thanks to the Tweed Valley Weekly and Tweed Creative Studios. I am really grateful.”

I interviewed Maya and Dave from Tupenny Opera for their NCEIA Award for ‘Our Wars’.

Hi Guys how many songs did you enter into the Dolphin Awards?

“We entered three songs into the Alternative/Indie category.”

Was the winning song a home recording?

“Yes, Dave wrote and engineered the song and we played all the parts in our home studio.

As a songwriter you look for an idea, a concept or a feeling as a central anchor for a song.

So we were just playing on an idea, looking at conflict and taking it from the micro to the macro.”

Where to from here?

“We’ve had issues with self-promotion. We have a strong goal of performing at festivals but when we apply our social footprint is so small because we don’t perform a lot and our music is a bit niche. We are more concert style and don’t fit into the pub scene. That really narrows the amount of exposure we can get.

“So winning that award gives Tupenny Opera more of an opportunity to get more exposure and interest on our website and social media.”

What prize did you win?

“We won a recording at the prestigious Rocking Horse Studios which is a great opportunity for us as we have always self-produced our music. Just to get a chance to work with a producer is very exciting for us. I would really like to give accolades to the judges for recognising the quality of the music we produce.”

You can listen to Tupenny Opera on http://www.tupennyopera.com/. You can hear and buy Matty’s songs on http://www.matty-rogers.com/ or buy his EP at Tweed Creative Studios 1/19 Buchanan St Murwillumbah.

MATTY ROGERS told The Weekly he’s been busy preparing for his big Falls Festival gig after winning the Foster a Band competition nominated by the Tweed Valley Weekly.

“I have been preparing my show for Falls Festival and I am really excited. I have been working hard to try and produce a strong 30min set,” he said.

“The hardest thing about that is deciding which songs to put in but I am going to feel the crowd out and try and get a feel from them but also I have some songs that will definitely be in the set list so that’s the main thing I’ve been working on.

“I’d like to thank you guys at Tweed Valley Weekly for your support and the nomination for Falls and also Chana Waters from Tweed Creative studios for all the support she has given me this year.

“Thanks again, hope to see you at Falls.”

Youth theatre presents A Christmas Carol

hand up to direct.

“I was involved in a production of it with DoubleMask seven years ago, and I have fond memories of that production.”

A Christmas Carol is on at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre Friday December 16 at 7pm and Saturday December 17 at 2pm.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 concessions with family of four tickets $20. Tickets are available at the door or Murwillumbah Music.

CHRISTMAS MOVIES! There was a time when at each Christmas a movie would come out that was related to the spirit of the holiday season, when we reflect on the past year, make plans for the next one and in general think about our values and feel at one with the world.

Classic examples would be films like It’s a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, or the more recent Love, Actually and Joyeux Noel. There was a gentleness and compassion in these films that would affect audiences regardless of their religious affiliation.

have invited Rayella, an indigenous father-daughter duo from Marlinja in the Northern Territory, to play their shows in NSW, NT and Queensland.

Violent Femmes bassplayer Brian Ritchie first encountered Rayella at the Bush Band Bash in Alice Springs in 2014 and both parties got together for an informal jam after the Violent Femmes 2016 performance in Perth.

“Eleanor and Raymond’s father/daughter vocal frontline lend authenticity to their stories of life, aspirations and place… Their music is a deep blend of modern life and ancient energy,” said Brian Ritchie.

The Violet Femmes are playing Twin Towns on Friday, March 31. Tickets are on sale via twintowns.com.au from 9am Friday December 16.

Things are quite different now, and while the Christmas period remains the peak season for the cinema industry, both producers and audiences worldwide have become much more prosaic. The emphasis of the new films released during the Christmas holidays is much more towards pure entertainment value, with some exceptions in the films catering specifically to very young audiences.

However, movies by default explore the dark and bright sides of human nature and eventually do carry a message, even if sometimes hidden.

So, don’t worry if the holidays will bring to the screens films that seem the antithesis of the Christmas spirit; even in a Star Wars movie there is love if you know where and how to look for it!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all readers of “Talking Films with Mia”!

Violent Femmes to rock out at Twin Towns

THE VIOLENT Femmes have announced they will play at local venue Twin Towns as part of their March 2017 Australia tour.

This is the band’s most extensive tour of the country since 2005 and includes a number of gigs at regional centres.

Bassist Brian Ritche said, “We would like to continue our decades-long love affair with Australia by bringing the rock to the regions. We will be playing old favourites and new with our usual shambolic splendour.”

Fans can expect to hear songs new and old including tracks from their 2016 comeback release ‘We Can Do Anything’, a triumphant return after a 16 year absence.

DOUBLEMASK YOUTH Theatre is bringing a production of Charles Dicken’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ to the Murwillumbah Civic Centre this Friday and Saturday.

This year marks DoubleMask Youth Theatre Company’s 10th year and it’s been a big year with the musical ‘The Toymakers’ and last weekend’s classic text ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea’.

Artistic Director Lachlan Glasby says the highlight of the season is yet to come this week. To celebrate 10 years, DoubleMask are bringing back past students and teachers as well as local performers who have been involved with DoubleMask in some way to present Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

The show, directed by Mr Glasby and past DoubleMask student Reba Ide keeps faithful to the source material but offers an hour of fun and wonderful moments as they bring to life Scrooge, played by Yasir Assam and the ghosts of Christmas.

“There are some truly wonderfully delicious moments, and Yasir as Scrooge is a Delight,” said Miss Ide, who threw her

The Phantom and the Dame visit Tweed Gallery Christmas message from AN ART show inspired by comic book hero The Phantom opened at The Tweed Regional Gallery last Saturday, December 10, with a visit from special guest Dame Quentin Bryce.

The show is for the truly young at heart, a nostalgic, surprising and fun exhibition that celebrates the evolution of a unique heroic character over the past 80 years.

More than 40 artists have contributed their various interpretations of the ‘Ghost Who Walks’, through a variety of media and styles. Participating artists include Charles Blackman, Kevin Connor, Elisabeth Cummings, Reg Mombassa, Euan Macleod, Paul Ryan, Garry Shead and Greg Weight.

When Lee Falk created The Phantom in 1936 as a daily newspaper comic strip he was the first costumed superhero.

Superman (1938) and Batman (1939) soon followed this trend.

The same year that the ‘Ghost Who Walks’ was first published Gone with the Wind was published, the Queen Mary set sail on her maiden voyage, German boxer Max Schmeling defeated African American Joe Louis, Hitler presided over the opening of the Berlin Olympics and the US was just beginning to emerge from the Great Depression.

According to exhibition co-curators Peter Kingston and Dietmar Lederwasch, “This exhibition is dedicated to the first two Phantom artists, Ray Moore and Wilson McCoy. “Us Phantom artists grew up before the digital age, when

comics were king: Superman, Batman, Nancy and Sluggo, The Little King, Captain Marvel … but none resonate like the Phantom. Youthful obsessions with him linger, taking root in impressionable consciousness and refusing to budge.”

In an essay written for the exhibition catalogue, Matthew Holle writes: “Why The Phantom? Why not Superman?

Or Batman? Why does a comic book character created prior to World War II still resonate strongly with so many generations nearly 80 years later? Is the appeal just an antipodean anomaly or something more? Could any other fictional comic book character so easily attract so many artists to reinterpret his image in an exhibition?”

As a special treat, the Gallery will host Phantom Fridays for Families from 10.30am – 12pm DST on January 13 and 20. Join a special kid’s tour through the exhibition. Use your superhero powers to investigate the artworks closely, flick through comics and make Phantom-inspired art. Feel free to wear your superhero costume or play dress up with supplied Phantom suits.

The Phantom Art Show is on display at Tweed Regional Gallery February 26, 2017.

IT’S BEEN a very busy year for Tweed Shire Council.

We received an early present recently with the news that we are officially ‘Fit for the Future’. This announcement is really good news for the Tweed as it means we’ve been independently assessed that we are in a financially sustainable position.

We wrap up 2016 in a really positive place with fresh enthusiasm from a new group of Councillors, a number of key infrastructure projects coming to a successful conclusion and some really great conversations with our community taking place.

Big picture planning projects included affordable housing initiatives at Hundred Hills and new developments for Terranora (Area E – Altitude Aspire) and Casuarina (Sea Side City) and the $30 million redevelopment of Tweed City Shopping Centre.

Significant and visionary work has also been done this year through our award-winning Rural Villages Strategy and the Scenic Landscape, Rural Land Use and Coastal Management strategies as well as our Business Investment Policy which has recently gone live.

Examples of construction work include the $9 million Kennedy Drive upgrade, the Murwillumbah Main Street drainage work, the Kingscliff and Fingal bridges, the Tom Beatson lookout and the awardwinning Knox Park precinct in Murwillumbah.

There was also cultural kudos in the past year with the Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre welcoming their 300,000th visitor and again being voted among the best of the best in the world in the Trip Advisor Travelers’ Choice Awards.

Have a happy and safe Christmas on behalf of the Council staff and myself.

Santaland in full swing at Salvos IF YOU go down to the Salvo’s Store on Main Street in Murwillumbah, you will see a very special visitor.

Santa has arrived at Santaland and he’s been taking requests from lots of children coming in for a chat and a high five.

The Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber has been running Santaland for the past six years and the project is fully funded by the Chamber.

Santaland offers photos with Santa at very reasonable rates of $8, with no waiting times. Our photographer this year is Kathy Booth, who is a specialist children’s photographer with over 20 years’ experience.

Kathy has managed to get a smile from every child who has had a photo taken.

The children so far have asked Santa for a variety of gifts, including a motorbike and roller skates. One little visitor just loved getting hugs from Santa. As a sign of the times some of the children have emailed their wish list to Santa

rather than the traditional letter in the post.

The concept behind the Chamber’s Santaland is to encourage parents and grandparents to do their Christmas shopping in Murwillumbah to support our local businesses.

A happy and welcoming experience with Santa adds to the Christmas spirit. A visiting parent mentioned she really loves the location of Santaland in a charity store as it reinforces the generosity of Christmas.

Santa will be at Santaland in the Salvo’s Store will be available for photos Monday to Friday from 10am to 12noon.

Santa will not be available for photos on Christmas Eve as the Salvo’s Store will be closed.

On behalf of Santa, Kathy Booth our photographer and the Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber we wish everyone a safe and Happy Christmas, and don’t forget to visit Santaland for a memorable Christmas photo.

WE FOUND YOU!

Because you read it, read it in the Tweed Valley Weekly.

Is this your number plate?

Courtesy of Bill at Tweed Tackle and Marine Whiting have still been giving the best results throughout the Tweed river system, even in the upper reaches. White Pilchards, Live worms, Whiting Whackers and poppers (especially the clear/ red ones) have been going well. There’s also been good Whiting in the gutters and creeks along the southern beaches.

Good catches of Mangrove Jacks from Tumbulgum down, around the canals and deeper areas – mainly on hard lures. Bass in the Hinze Dam – along the eastern side near the water tower.

The poor weather conditions have slowed down the offshore fishos. Still Kingfish around 9 Mile and the 50 fathom area south of Kingscliff. Pilchards, stickbaits and jigs are all proving successful.

Finally, with the big break coming fast, don’t forget your gifts, gift cards and gas refills are all available from Tweed Tackle & Marine. Open every day except Christmas Day. Best range and prices – Support Local!

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

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

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

POLICE BEAT Drunk driver jumps gutter and drives car on footpath

A 65-YEAR old male will face court next month after he was caught driving his car whilst allegedly intoxicated along a shared bike and pedestrian path in Kingscliff.

Police were called with reports of a Ford Focus driving along the shared beachside pathway on Monday, December 12 at 6.30pm.

Police were able to stop the vehicle which had appeared to have crashed into a number of signs and railings that were fixed along the path.

The driver was breath tested at the scene and returned a positive result.

He was arrested and taken to Kingscliff Police Station where he allegedly returned a breath analysis reading of 0.198.

His licence was suspended and he was charged with highrange drink driving.

He will appear in Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, January 9.

Drunk Tumbulgum man goes on spitting spree

TWEED POLICE were set upon by a 22-year-old Tumbulgum man who armed himself with an excessive amount of spitting at local officers at Knox Park on Friday, December 9.

Police said they had cause to speak with three people who were consuming alcohol at Knox Park, Murwillumbah, at about 6.40pm The three people were told to move from the location by the officers, or “issued a move on direction from the park”, due to their alcohol consumption and all complied.

A short time later police said they located one of the males, a 22-year-old Tumbulgum man yelling and swearing at another person around the same location where he was earlier directed to move.

Police alleged the man used offensive language and eventually lunged at the officers and was restrained.

However, the man allegedly continued to wrestle his way with the officers to the police vehicle.

As he was placed into the rear of the police vehicle he allegedly started a tirade of spitting at the officers striking one of the officers on the front of his shirt.

En-route to the Tweed Heads Police Station the male has allegedly continued to spit all over the rear of the police vehicle.

Once at the Tweed Heads Police Station the male has continued to spit into the dock area which police said required cleaning.

The man was released into the care of a parent and will receive Future Service Court Attendance Notices for the

offences of Continue Intoxicated Behaviour after Move On Direction Issued, Resist Police in the Execution of their Duty, Assault Police in the Execution of their Duty and 2 counts of Malicious Damage. The 22-year-old will appear at Murwillumbah Local Court on January 24.

A DRUNKEN 22-year-old female from the Gold Coast rolled her black Mazda while travelling South along Sexton Hill Drive at Banora Point on Friday, December 9.

Tweed Police said the woman was driving through a roundabout when the car collided with the gutter causing it to flip and cross into the northbound lanes coming to rest against a telegraph pole.

Police drove to the scene a short time later and located the female who admitted to being the driver at the time of the collision. There were no injuries as a result of the collision.

A roadside breath test returned a positive result of 0.141, which is almost three times the legal limit of (0.05). She was placed under arrest and was transported to the Tweed Heads Police Station where a further breath analysis was undertaken.

The female was issued with Court Attendance Notices for Mid Range PCA, Negligent Driving and her Licence to drive has been suspended.

Police encouraged by zero fatal crashes last weekend

Drunk driver rolls car at Banora Point

Police issue warning not to leave property in car

SENIOR CONSTABLE Bradley Foster, Crime Prevention Officer, Tweed Byron Local Area Command believes that by taking simple preventative measures, the chances of becoming a victim are greatly diminished.

“When you park and leave your car, it is a good idea to do a quick checklist,” he said “Ensure the surrounding area is well-lit at night, personal valuables are stored out of sight or taken from the vehicle and doors and windows are locked – it’s as simple as that.”

Senior Constable Foster advises car owners not to leave valuable items in their vehicles, especially those parked in driveways, open carports and on the roadway overnight.

This time of year Tweed Byron Police continue to see an increase in stealings from motor vehicles. Unfortunately a large number of these are due to motor vehicles being left unsecured.

Police wish to remind drivers and owners of motor vehicles that it is actually an offence to leave a motor vehicle on a roadway, at the service station or in a public car park unsecured. A breach of this legislation can result in a penalty of up to $2200.

Scam alert - Police urge residents to be on high alert

TWEED POLICE have received reports of scam phone

POLICE FROM the Traffic and Highway Patrol are encouraged leading into the holiday season, after there were no fatal crashes recorded this weekend.

Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy of the State’s Traffic and Highway Patrol says that no fatal crashes over a weekend shows that everyone has a role to play in reducing the road toll.

“I am encouraged to say that there were no fatal crashes recorded in NSW this weekend. It proves that if we work together we can reduce the road toll. The reality is that this should be the norm, not something that needs to be highlighted. At this time of year, coming into the holiday period, we traditionally see an increase in risky driver behaviour such as drink-driving.

“Reducing the road toll is all about changing the culture around our roads, and personal responsibility. It is on all of us to make sure we stay safe, and to make sure that your loved ones also remain safe,” Assistant Commissioner Corboy said.

Despite no fatal crashes on NSW Roads this weekend, there was a fatal quad bike crash on a private property near Gundagai yesterday (Sunday 11 September).

Eight people have already died on the roads this month, bringing the NSW road toll to 370, meaning that 40 more people have died on our roads compared to this time last year.

A BIG thankyou to Tweed/Byron Local Area Command officers and Inspector Wayne Starling for the crafty Christmas card delivered to The Weekly. The image was drawn by 10-year-old Tully at Cudgen Public School.

Bowls Notes

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

with Judy Tuckey

Banquet of high standard bowling recognised

Zone 1 Councillor Tony Hart presenting “Player of the Year” Trophy to Darren Black, Cabarita Beach B.C.

T.B.D.B.A. Presentation Day conducted at Kingscliff Bowling Club on the week end was a grand affair with District champions from various Clubs in attendance to receive their well deserved rewards. These fine bowlers delivered a banquet of high standard bowls throughout the bowling year, providing excellent entertainment for one and all. Special guests, Zone One Councillor, Tony Hart and Zone One President, Kris Lehfeldt, were on hand to partake in the presentation ceremony.

The 2016 “Player of the Year” trophy, the District’s highest accolade based on success at Club, District, Zone and State level was awarded to Cabarita’s Darren Black. Darren won his Club’s singles, and was a team member of the Club’s pairs, triples and fours championships winners.

Added to that, Darren was a member of the team that won District and Zone One Triples. Congratulations Mr. Black.

District Championship winners for 2016 were: Open Singles – Josh Greenhalgh, Brunswick Heads; Senior Singles – Kevin Liddington, Kingscliff; Reserve Grade Singles – Bill Davey, Cabarita. Open Pairs -Ritchie Northcott, Mark Holton, Mullumbimby; Senior Pairs – Trevor

Hills, Greg Barrack, Kingscliff; Reserve Pairs – Chris Mullins, Bill Davey, Cabarita. Open Triples – Bill Davey, Damien Delgado, Darren Black, Cabarita; Senior Triples – Barry Sheppard, Laurie Freeman, Mick Morgan, Cabarita; Open Fours – David Crow, Brian Kent, Bob Gormly, Greg Matfin, Cabarita. Champion of Club Champions: Singles – Josh Greenhalgh, Brunswick Heads; Pairs – Greg Barrack Trevor Hills, Kingscliff. District President, Gary Tobin, thanks Kingscliff Bowling Club – host for the 2016 Presentation Day and Lunch.

Cudgen Leagues Club is now in ‘recovery and repair’ mode following the recent fire that engulfed the administration, main entrance and reception area. Quick thinking from the early bird greenkeeper, who raised the alarm, resulted in a rapid response from the firies who were able to confine the blaze to that area. In the meantime, the Club is functioning extremely well, as resurrection crews are working full on to restore the damaged areas to their former glory.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Another big fleet for the last race of the year 17 boats with 38 Crew contested the 5th race of the Summer Pointscore Series.

As usual the Tweed River provides plenty of challenges for our sailors – this Sunday added a strong ebbing tide, the occasional sandbank and a constantly shifting wind into the mix.

Well done to Darcy Busbridge Age 7 from Fingal Head who competed in his first race taking his older brother’s place on NS14 Zazen with Adam Hurt.

Overall time corrected by yardstick winner was Lex Branch from Bilambil on Impulse “Splitter” – another good result but the overall pointscore win went to Malcolm Maiden from Tweed Heads, sailing an NS14 “Mantana” - his best result with the club, and well earned after spending time run aground in the very shallow low tide.

Second pointscore place on handicap went to Toby & Anna Poulsen on AquaCat “Wooshka” and third was Geoff Carter, Jo Carter and Tom Busbridge on Corsair S’wallow.

Seven 3 handed Corsairs competed in Race two of the Tweed River Corsair Championship.

Taking first place in the Corsairs was 199 Minnow, with skipper Bill Fenelon, and crew Sienna Pullan and Deborah Flannery. Taking advantage of local knowledge to find the fastest way to sail against the tide, Minnow was virtually unchallenged, finishing 5 minutes ahead of the next Corsair.

Second place was a very close race and the next four boats finished within 50 seconds of each other, with second place Corsair; Monique Smith, Matt Andrews and Kate Yeomans beating third placed all Fingal Head crew Alison Blatcher,

Pipe Trials Done –

When will the Swell Arrive?

THE TRIALS for the Pipeline Masters was held earlier this week in pretty average conditions, but there is not much hope of the main event getting underway until possibly the weekend with no real swell on the horizon until then. A storm generating swell all the way over off the coast of Japan is looking like the hope of a descent swell.

Karen Vidler and Marg Walgers by only one second. No doubt all the Corsairs will be getting some training practice in over the holidays.

In the Multihull’s Championship in the scratch results Dave Chester and Isaac Poulsen on a Hobie 16 getting very lucky in the end, just beating second placed Toby Poulsen and Anna Poulsen by only 30 seconds but the corrected time result (to take account of different types of boat) gave a clear win to Toby and Anna.

This was the last race of the year for the club, however next Sunday 18 Dec the club will host a relaxed social sailing day and picnic at Fingal Head. Contact the club if you would like to come and have a sail or just drop by and say hello.

Email tvscmail@gmail.com The club also has a (fully booked) 3 day Juniors Learn to Sail course running at Fingal 19 – 21 Dec so expect some junior racing action in the new year!

2017 racing starts again on Sunday 8 January.

16 year old Hawaiin Finn McGill claimed the Pipe Invitational on Monday after besting a specialist field of 32 to take the prestigious win and earn one of two coveted wildcard entries into the Billabong Pipe Masters in Memory of Andy Irons. Former Sanclemente, now Hawaiian resident ,Gavin Beschen will also advance into the main event after earning the runner-up finish in the Pipe Invitational. Gavin is the younger brother of Shane Beschen, perhaps best known for getting 3 perfect 10 point rides at Kirra in the Billabong Pro back in 1996. Back in the days when real Kirra existed.

16-year-old McGill came away with the win and will face Jordy Smith and Keanu Asing in Round 1 Heat 3 of the Billabong Pipe Masters.

“I cannot even believe this is happening right now,” said McGill. “I’ve been surfing here my whole life and wanted to get some waves with only three other guys out. That was my mentality going into this event. I am

so stoked to face Jordy [Smith] and Keanu [Asing] in the Billabong Pipe Masters.”

“When I heard I was going to be in this contest, I was just so stoked,” McGill continued. “I have been wanting to be in the Pipe Masters my whole life and I have been coming down to this event since I was three years old. I went to school across the street and I remember sitting in class and listening to the scores, wishing I could be there.”

Beschen will face newly crowned WSL Champion John John Florence and Jadson Andre in Round 1 Heat 6 of the main event.

Portuguese surfer Frederico Morais leads the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing rankings ahead of Florence and Jordy Smith. Morais, 2013 Vans Triple Crown Rookie of the Year, claimed runner-up finishes at both the the Hawaiian Pro and Vans World Cup to secure his place on the Championship Tour in 2017. With the withdrawal of Matt Banting and Alejo Muniz will mean Morais will go directly to the main event, with Andy Irons brother and former Pipeline Master, Bruce Irons taking the other spot.

Action starts from 5am either via the WSL website or the Foxsports network.

PS – Looking like we might get a swell for Christmas!!!

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC – Keith Kennedy

LAST SUNDAY morning our roving patrol arrived at North Kingscliff just after as 60 yr. old man had been pulled from the surf. They administered oxygen until the arrival of an ambulance which had been called by a member of the public. Patrol stats’ for the past month show 19 first aid cases and 24 preventative actions.

Last weekend we had members of our I.R.B. Instructors group attend a weekend training session at Garie S.L.S.C. for members of the 15 Clubs in Sydney Branch for an Induction of the ALBERT I.R.B. award training for drivers and crew which was developed by our club and been practiced for several seasons in the winter break in our branch.

Kingscliff beach will be patrolled by Lifeguards for the duration of the N.S.W. School Holidays as will most of the Tweed Shire beaches. If swimming, look for the red and yellow patrol flags.

Our Education Officer, Michael Kenny recently returned from his travel to Ghana as part of the 12 man training team of

International Surf Life Saving. They trained 123 persons who belonged to 10 different organisations, including Army, Navy, Police, Ambulance, First Aid etc. They trained for five days from 7 am to 7 pm each day. It was the first open water training ever done there, where there are no beach patrols, only some volunteers who place a red flag in the sand.

They were instructed in swim development, resuscitation, beach management, first aid etc. and hoped for further instruction visits.

Only 9 candidates were signed off as a Lifeguard to International Standard. On departure they donated 12 American style torpedo tubes, 12 sets of swim fins and first aid kits.

A new I.R.B. motor has been donated and it will be used for racing. We hope to have competitive crews to enter the Australian Titles which the club host in July next year.

A grant of $58,000 has been received through the Department of Infrastructure and Gaming to complete necessary OH&S electrical works to the clubhouse.

The Old Boys Association meeting voted to give some financial assistance to our 7

members in the N.S.W. Country team to compete in New Zealand in January. Cost per member has risen from an estimated $1,100 - $1,400 to $2,000. Club management is questioning this increase by N.S.W. State Centre and why Cudgen and Byron Bay members make up half the team need to fly from Sydney instead of up here and connect in Auckland as was done previously.

Dredging of Cudgen Creek and sand pumping to our beach access is almost completed, approximately 15,000 cubic metres.

Our annual car competition tickets can be obtained at the Surf Club and usual sellers.

It will be drawn on 22nd January.

Swim results last Sunday: 1st. Russell Zahn; 2nd Charlie Buchanan; 3rd Susie Hawkins.

This Sunday nipper activity 10 to 11.30 am, Santa arrives at 12, distribution of presents and to whole of club from 2 pm onward.

Entries for N.S.W. Country at South West Rocks close with our registrar on 1st January as do the ‘early bird’ for the Australian at Kirra.

Tugun will host the Oceans 38 carnival this Saturday.

The Inter-Branch point score went to Sydney 1162 pts from Sydney Northern Beaches 1146, Central Coast 1004, Hunter 1035 and F.N.C. 928 ahead of Illawarra and five other country branches.

Cudgen members who did well were Luke Chaffer who won the open surf, 2nd in the Iron Man and 3rd in the Ski. In the 13 yr. Olissa Onley won the board, Lily Sullivan 2nd in the Iron woman, Eli Hughes in the boys gained 2nd in the board and 3rd in the sprint. In the 12 yr. Elizabeth Warne placed 2nd in the surf. Tom Swift was placed 3rd in the 15 yr. board.

Team wins were the Open Male Surf, 12 yr. female surf and 13 yr. male and female board.

ALL OVER UNTIL FEBRUARY The Men’s League Grand final was the culmination of a huge year for Murwillumbah Basketball. From Aussie Hoops, Youth League, Women’s League, Men’s League and even a new logo, it’s been

a season of expansion.

This will be the final ‘Shooting Hoops’ column for a few weeks, I hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have writing it.

MBA and Shooting Hoops will be back in the new year. In the meantime, any updates will appear on the ‘Murwillumbah Basketball Association’ Facebook page.

Until Next Year, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Ballin’

Sh ting Hoops MEN’S LEAGUE GRAND FINAL WRAP Only three words to describe Sunday’s decider, “What A Match!”

This was always going to be a tough, physical encounter and it didn’t disappoint.

The 2 senior referees from Byron Bay Basketball had their hands full right from the start, calling fouls very early, even a tech foul, the first of the season.

Tropics, with the return of Cooper Black after a long injury layoff, matched GIO Oddballs in offence and defence. At the end of the first quarter, Tropics held a 8-7 lead.

The 2nd quarter both sides looked to get the edge, and scoring became a little easier and by halftime the GIO Oddballs had taken the lead 22-19.

The 3rd quarter went the way of the first, though tired bodies were noticeable.

However no side gave an inch and when the siren sounded to end the 3rd, everyone knew we were in for a tight finish with Oddballs

holding a 28-26 lead.

Fouls ruled the 4th quarter with the older boys from Oddballs trying to slow the speed of the much younger and fitter Tropics.

In fact the foul count was 8-1 in the 4th.

Oddballs looked home with just over a minute to go, leading 37-31. But same sloppy play and fatigue set in and with .80 seconds remaining and with scores tied at 37-37, Kieran McAskill was fouled and sent to the free throw line. He missed the first, only adding to the tension, but knocked down the 2nd to see Tropics lead 38-37.

Oddballs called a time out. This meant play would restart in the Tropics half with Oddballs Possession and barely time for one play. An inbound to Sash Osmanovic for a quick release shot went wide of the target and it was Tropics who were crowned the MBA Men’s League Champion! It was a fitting end to a magnificent season.

Congratulations to Tropics, Joel and Cooper

WICKET TO WICKET TWEED VALLEY Contingent Feature in SCG Regional Big Bash Finals

Northern Rivers Rock featured 8 Tweed Valley players of the 13, representing the region in the 20-20 finals series of the Regional Bash Finals at the SCG on Sunday. Tait Burns, Caleb & Connor Ziebell, James Julius, Jamie Wilson, Adam Rogers, Ryan McCloy and Captain Anthony Kershler were among the Tweed contingent who ventured to the hallowed SCG on Sunday. It featured the Terrace Street connection James Julius and Caleb & Connor Ziebell. Fast bowling allrounder Caleb impressed with 77 off 53 balls in helping the side take a win over the highly fancied Newcastle Blasters in the semi final earlier in the afternoon.

Later under twilight skies the side played the Orana Outlaws in the final who were successful over the Wagga Wagga Sloggers in their corresponding semi final... A number of Tweed Valley supporters were able to watch the online live stream which included an added bonus of a broadcast commentary. Despite Anthony Kershler taking 4/38 off his allotted over’s along with Caleb Ziebell blasting 43 from 25 balls, the Rock side fell 13 runs short in their run chase. under lights at the iconic venue. It must have been an amazing experience and dream come true for all concerned, in playing at such an iconic venue. Special thanks to Allira Akehurst who provided the photo of Connor and Caleb Ziebell with James Julius in the middle.

State Country Cup - Unfinished Business for the Tweed Valley Seniors Side The local representative side will feature many of the Rock side featured above who have made the state country semi finals series to be played at Grafton in late December.

Captain Jayden Hoare is quietly confident his talented side can make if through to the grand final being played on Friday 30 December. He believes the side has not peaked as yet, despite some excellent bowling and fielding displays in the qualifying rounds against the Clarence Valley and Coffs Harbour. He is expecting a big improvement from his batters to compliment the other aspects of the team’s performance.

It caps off a stellar 2016 for the region. Kingscliff local Max Bryant is making a name for himself at the National U19 championships this week in Adelaide. After a patchy start Max is making runs with a knock of 140 after two half centuries earlier in the carnival for the Queensland side.

Tweed Valley Sides Consolidate Top 4 Spots Hooker and Coastal League sides take a well-earned break over the Gabba Test and Xmas closedown period. Both Cudgen sides head into the break entrenched in the top four , whilst Terranora and Murwillumbah consolidated their finals positions in the Coastal League. In the local Tweed Valley Competition the final round is played this Saturday with Cudgen, Murwillumbah Cubs, Cabarita and Thirster’s No. 2 rounding out the top spots. A series of T20 games will

-with Steve Twohill

be played during the month of January so I would encourage anyone out there interested in playing to contact your local club for a run.
