How to Zero Your Power Bill - and Stay Connected to the Grid On the 1st July power prices increased by 20% in NSW. Solar Feed in Tariffs doubled. In this special report you will find out how you can get the most benefit from solar power on your house and minimise the impact of higher power prices.

If You Use Less Than 10 kWh per Day...

Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels to Eliminate your power bill

With Feed in tariffs at 12-16c you can now sell power back to the grid as part of a strategy to minimise and eliminate power charges completely. Production from 2.5 kW of solar - about 10 panels - will offset the dreaded electricity supply charge when all the generated power is exported. You now get half as much for the power you sell as it costs you to buy from the grid. If you export enough, the rest of your power charges can be eliminated. This strategy is ideal for retirees or small households.

If You Use 10-25 kWh per Day...

Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels and Batteries if Export is Limited If Essential Energy will let you export 5 kWh or more to the grid, then stacking your roof with as many solar panels as possible will work well for you. If export is limited, consider storing extra power in a battery bank for night time use. A combination of solar for export, self use maximised during the day and battery storage is a great strategy to bring your bill closer to zero for medium households with 3-4 people.

If You Use More Than 25 kWh per Day... Install 8+ kW of Solar Panels and Solar Batteries Export 5 kWh to the grid, use as much as you can during the day and store power for night time use in a larger bank of solar batteries. Power prices are expected to rise by another 50% in the next 2 years, so everything you put in now will work even better in the years to come. Get a free energy plan from 888 Solar Tek because every home is different and you need help to get your solar system sized right and working perfectly.

Solar Batteries Ensure You Never Have Blackouts in the Storm Season

Solar Rebate to Drop in 2018 But Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Panic!

Every year, for the next 14 years, the value of subsidies for new installations of solar panels will fall. The payment is made based on the installation date, so many solar companies are getting people into a panic to sign up now or miss out. The incremental decrease is about $300 less for a 6 kW solar system installed after 31st Dec 2017.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Panic! 888 Solar Tek will pay the full 2017 rebate for any system ORDERED before 31st of Dec 2017 regardless of install date.

You also get 2 Extra Panels Free with any Solar System

Until the 22nd Decemebr 2017, 888 Solar Tek will add two extra panels to each New solar system ordered for FREE! You get 2 extra 270 Watt, tier 1 Seraphim solar panels - over half a kW more power with our highest quality Seraphim panels - the first panel in the world to ever pass the Photon Labs independent torture test. You will also receive FREE solar WiFi monitoring, setup on your phone, tablet or computer & expert tuition on how to get the most from your solar system.

SEVERAL BURRINGBAR residents (see Letters page 4) are crying out for desperate road repairs with locals fearing one of the Shire’s most iconic villages is being overlooked. However, Tweed Shire Council has sought to assure Burringbar residents that roads such as Heron Road are on the list of Council’s priorities throughout early 2018. “The Heron Road issue is one of 44 items in the Burringbar area which is included in the second bundle of major flood works went out last week and will close on February 7,” a Council spokesperson said. “Construction will begin (at the contractor’s discretion) sometime after May 2018.” The resident, who preferred not to be named, wrote to The Weekly and said that during early June 2016 a storm damaged two water pipes at Heron Road which he said has created a dangerous undercut. “The pipes run under the road came apart and the gushing water created a hole six meters long, three meters wide and one and a half meters deep,” the resident said. “The hole had undermined the road making this a very dangerous situation.” The resident said Council did visit the site two months later to erect two-star pickets and hung two “Traffic Hazzard Ahead” signs. “Fast forward to March 30, 2017, and not only had Council done nothing to rectify the dangerous undercut road in nine months the hole had also expanded every time it had rained and we had the

Burringbar Road needs repairs

I want to report Burringbar Road as having a dangerous need for repair and is still waiting after the 2017 floods. It is about 2km from the shops heading west just after the ‘DIP’ sign. Where there is a curve in the road there is a big hole on the left side. Motorists tend to swerve to give it good clearance, therefore being over the road centre, and on a bend can be dangerous for oncoming traffic. This is where there is water damage from an overflow creek below and has also in the past been a site of at least two very serious accidents. These accidents occurred even before there was road damage and just because of the curve in the road and the blind spot it causes. I hope this can be rectified before any more accidents occur. Lauren Nelson, Burringbar I have recently bought a house in the area because my passion is horse trail riding and I wanted to be able to ride in Mooball National Park and on the beach. I have young children who are learning to ride who love it when I lead them through the forest on a horse. We really need safe access into Mooball National Park. We also love mountain bike riding and love to do it as a family. These activities are not only healthy for the family but help us to appreciate our environment, encouraging us to make changes in our daily lives to help protect it. As a property owner I also understand how the owner of the property must feel with people riding through the property. It is however a public road reserve so a compromise needs to be made. I appreciate that the council is working to please all parties however if the access into the forest is now restrictive due to the challenging and dangerous nature of the easement then the problem has not been resolved.

Having a small dam beside my place has been drawing in large numbers of cane toads, particularly at night. The call of the males sounds like a lawn mower engine - has been so challenging I have been wearing ear plugs to bed. The knowledge that the female cane toad can lay around 30,000 eggs is gut-wrenching - to see the absolute compounding of this scourge. The good news is that whilst we wait for some effective biological controls I have found a practical solution to making some dent on the cane toad population. I go searching at night around the dam and on the property with a torch and long barbeque tongs - the first night I collected around 45. In subsequent nights the numbers reduced markedly. Last night I collected eight and guess what - I heard no males calling - the lawnmower sound - later that night. When I get them I put them in my tall bucket (with lid) that contains day-old undiluted urine. The urine is high in Ammonia and the cane toads die very quickly in this. The next day I dig a small hole to bury them. Getting some better sleep and reducing cane toad numbers is making a difference. I encourage others to give this a go to help us deal with this major problem. Gayle Russell, Nunderi

Way to reduce cane toads

A large bowl or bowls of water left out each night for the cane toads to luxuriate in and lay their eggs is a simple way of helping to decrease their invasion. How, you may ask, well in the morning tip the water on the garden thus drying and killing the eggs. Though this exercise may not totally eliminate the toads, it will surely decrease the numbers that are presently hatching. Helen B, Murwillumbah

Further Men’s Shed questions

Menkit Prince (TVW Jan 11) raised valid questions about the Pottsville Men’s Shed’s claims to be unable to find a suitable permanent home. During late 2016 and early 2017, several members of the Shed begged for support to apply for an ideal potential site in central Pottsville. The Committee responded by calling for a vote to ban any and all investigation, discussion or consideration of any site other than Black Rocks. One member was expelled from the group after

opposing the Black Rocks site, and another witnessed such aggression that he elected to refrain from further attendance. These members were merely asking that the procedure recommended by both Crown Lands and The Australian Men’s Shed Association (NSW branch) be followed, and were deeply disturbed at the aggressive response. The Shed President claimed the subject land was contaminated, but then promptly advised that he considered it perfect for a Skate Park or the Pottsville Pantry. One has to wonder why the very unsuitable Black Rocks site, with poor access, no visibility, and significant safety and security risks, was so strongly favoured over even investigating other options and pursuing the appropriate procedures. Why did some councillors, alerted to improper conduct in the running of a registered association, nevertheless support deception of the public and approval of an unsuitable site? Proceeding at a temporary site has imposed heavy cost on the public and, according to experts, put our precious native fauna population at high risk. Alarmingly, it now appears the Shed Committee is determined to continue the deception to secure permanent occupancy rights. What’s the real motive? Lorraine Cobcroft, Pottsville

Fixing rail would cost more

Tim Shanasy’s letter regarding the rail trail, very interesting but the cost would be probably more than putting the rail back as he has left out much of doing such a thing. Find out who gave permission to vandalise the bridges and track and sue them to refurbish it, that would save millions. Gordon Lee Tweed Heads

Beware dangers of ice

I write with a blunt warning. Tragically crystal meth/ice is having a shocking impact on many suburbs and areas of Australia. I write to warn readers of this most dangerous drug and to highlight to readers that it is never worth dabbling with a drug like ice. It is so dangerous and so addictive. Ice is tearing a massive number of families apart. This sadly includes damage to a massive number of Indigenous communities. In some communities, grandparents, parents and children are all using crystal meth. There is a very big misconception in the community that alcohol is the big issue for Indigenous Australians. Nothing could be further from the truth. Close to 100 per cent of our clients have been impacted by ice and shock TV ads seem to be having no impact.

OUTDOOR BLINDS

AMAZING PACKAGE DEAL

You can buy ice in many parts of the country for as little as $5. We want to see governments everywhere developing rapid response teams to deal with a problem that has frankly got out of hand. People aren’t getting the help they need at the speed that is necessary. The answers lie in the development of rapid response teams. The under-reporting of ice is at a huge level. This problem is much bigger than people realise. People are being touched by ice everywhere. Young people are so vulnerable. One of the biggest issues is that crystal meth is so potent, it does not take much for people to become addicted. People end up feeling like they are bulletproof and invincible. This is just one of the dangers of this drug. We are asking governments everywhere to take action because of the scale of the problem. I would also like to highlight, people can get more information about my organisation by visiting www.adac. org.au. Scott Wilson, CEO Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Council

Bullying is harmful

The case of Amy “Dolly” Everett is a tragic but all too common one. In my 40 years of working with young people, the issue of suicide, bullying, and now cyberbullying has come up far too often. Young people subjected to any form of bullying can experience significant social isolation and feelings of being unsafe, which can lead to emotional and physical harm, loss of self-esteem, feelings of shame, anxiety and a whole host of other mental health issues. Unfortunately, Dolly seems to have fallen victim to the most severe effects of bullying. Bullying has always been a part of life, but that should not let us minimise or dismiss the effect it can have on a young person’s mental health as they develop. Parents need to be aware of any symptoms of bullying in our children, including loss of interest in school and extra-curricular activities; frequent complaints of illness to avoid attending school; lacking a network of friends; appearing sad, moody or depressed; loss of appetite; trouble sleeping; anxiety; or low self-esteem. As a parent, if you suspect that your child is a bully or is being bullied the first action you should take is to talk to them, ask subtle questions about their day at school and find out if something is concerning them. A parent should never blame the victim and should work with a child’s school to find a solution to the issue rather than acting on their instant emotional response.

I support Dolly’s parents in their efforts to establish a trust to raise awareness of the issue. Everything we can do to shine a light on the darkness surrounding bullying, anxiety, depression and suicide is a positive thing. Hopefully the conversations that this event has sparked will lead to a number of lives being saved. Father Chris Riley, CEO and Founder at Youth Off The Streets

Tweed job market heavily casualised Gastro outbreak in aged care facilities

JOBSEEKERS LOOKING to get their foot in the door for that new job on the Tweed in 2018 may need to be willing to take on causal roles, according to local employment agency First Sun Employment, who provided some valuable tips to start the job hunt. First Sun Employment manager Judi McConville spoke to The Weekly recently to talk about areas in high demand and ways to fast track your next dream role. Mrs McConville said it was no surprise that the Tweed district has very diverse employment demands, “given the wide range of industries accessible by local job seekers”. “From rural and primary production and processing through to property and business services and everything in between,” she said. “Industries in growth include health and personal services, education and construction related industries. There is also a good base in hospitality/tourism and retail.” When asked what the employment market is currently like across the Tweed Shire, Mrs McConville said the job market in the Tweed is heavily casualised. “Which means that job seekers generally need to be prepared to accept casual hours of work in most industries, at least to start,” she said. “Job seekers in the Tweed district have easy access into the Gold Coast labour market which expands their opportunities significantly.” Figures from the 2017 Census showed that Tweed residents were working less hours and earning less compared to the national average, with weekly family incomes more than $400 below the national average.

Less than half of all Tweed residents were employed full-time (49 per cent), compared to the state average of 59 per cent and more are working parttime, where 38 per cent of residents are employed on a part-time basis compared to the national and state average of 30 per cent. The Census data did not represent the number of Tweed residents employed casually, however data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics has shown a rise in the number of casuals in the workforce. The Employee Earnings and Hours, Australia, May 2016 report, found that 22 per cent of workers throughout the country were employed on a casual basis, a slight rise from the late 90s where 20 per cent of the workforce were casuals. Casual employees had average weekly cash earnings of $585, but male casuals earned more ($735) and had a lower average age (33.6) compared to females (34.6). Female casual employees had average weekly earnings of $471 and represent 25 per cent of total female employees, compared to 20 per cent of males. Mrs McConville said it is important to look at your skills and resume before commencing a job search to increase the number of potential jobs you could apply for. “Think about your skills and how they could transfer to different jobs that you could do and open up your options,” she said. “Beware of unusual job ads that appear too good to be true – unfortunately there are scams out there. If in doubt talk to your employment service before applying. “Make sure you have a resume that highlights your skills and experience and

be open to casual or short-term work to start.” Another good tip is to not wait for jobs to be advertised but to approach employers and introduce yourself as a job seeker and potential employee. “Don’t wait for jobs to be advertised – look around and think about which local businesses could use your skills and approach them directly – this is the “hidden job market” and more jobs are found this way than through job ads,” she said. “When you approach an employer directly make sure you look and act the part. Be the person who could step into a shift on the spot. “Activate your personal and business networks – let friends, family, previous employers and workmates know that you are looking for an opportunity.” Mrs McConville said there are several ways that First Sun can help the average Tweed job seeker. “First Sun Employment is a part of the Federal Government’s jobactive employment service, looking after job seekers referred to us by Centrelink,” she said. “Eligible job seekers can receive support with information about the local job market, resumes and job applications. “First Sun Employment offers a personalised assistance to each jobseeker, and assists in tailoring application letters and resumes to suit individual jobs. “Some job seekers are eligible to offer employers a wage subsidy which can really open doors for them and First Sun coordinates this. “A lot of the support we provide is in the first six months after the person gets a job.”

THREE AGED care facilities across the Northern Rivers have reported outbreaks of gastroenteritis with concerns that further facilities could be at risk, according to the Northern NSW Local Health Districts (NNSW LHD). Although the three facilities were not named, it’s believed one was located in the Tweed Valley and the other two were outside the Tweed Shire. Northern NSW Local Health Districts (NNSW LHD) Public Health Director Paul Corben told The Weekly that the North Coast Public Health Unit has received reports of viral gastroenteritis, believed to be norovirus, in three residential aged care facilities in recent weeks. “These reports suggest that infection with norovirus is the likely cause,” he said. “Gastroenteritis outbreaks in institutions such as Aged Care Facilities, hospitals, schools and childcare centres are notifiable under the Public Health Act.” Mr Corben said NSW Health facilities have robust infection control practices and systems for real time reporting of illness clusters, significantly reducing the risk of outbreaks of gastroenteritis. “The Public Health Unit works closely with facilities to ensure outbreaks are well managed,” he said. “Viral gastroenteritis is a common infection of the stomach and intestines that results in vomiting and diarrhoea. “It can be caused by a number of different viruses, such as rotavirus and norovirus (previously known as Norwalk-like virus). “There are many other causes of gastroenteritis including bacteria, toxins, parasites, and some non-infectious diseases.” According to the NSW Health website norovirus can be prevented by good hand hygeine. Hands should be washed thoroughly using soap and running water for at least 10 seconds and dried with a clean towel, particularly after using the toilet, assisting someone with diarrhoea and/or vomiting and before preparing food. Alcohol hand gel can also be used if hands are not visibly soiled and soap and water are not available. Anyone with vomiting or diarrhoea should rest at home and not attend work, school or child-care or visit a residential care facility until vomiting and diarrhoea have stopped for 48 hours.

Don’t miss vital flood information If you missed our four-page ‘It’s Storm Season’ liftout in the newspapers in December, you can find it online at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/StormSeason The liftout will help you plan and prepare for storms and, in particular, floods. There’s information on how to identify the flood trigger you need to act on; historic maximum river gauge heights; the various catchments of the Tweed; when our levees overtop; the warning signs you need to heed from nature and the official agencies; and, a full page on building a flood-resilient understorey. It’s officially storm season so it’s timely to understand the risks of severe thunderstorms, cyclones and other wild weather and make your Home Emergency Plan. Many Tweed residents affected by the March 2017 flood are still working to repair property damage. Information on how to build a flood-resilient understorey may help them avoid or minimise property losses in future events. Council itself is still in recovery mode. While the bulk of the small road repair damages have been completed, medium-sized repairs are only just beginning and we are yet to start most of the 50-plus big jobs to repair roads. “Many residents told us they were caught unawares by last year’s flood so we have published this liftout to help raise awareness and build an understanding of how floods can unfold in our shire,” Manager Roads and Stormwater Danny Rose said. “We all need to know how to read the warning signs and what we need to do to protect life and property during a storm or flood emergency.”

Tumbulgum Road to reopen before Australia Day Work on the final stages of the Tumbulgum Road upgrade, between Sunnyside Lane and Old Ferry Road, Murwillumbah, began last week with contractors milling off the old road pavement in preparation for the new. If the weather stays fine, a temporary road pavement will be laid this week and Tumbulgum Road will be reopened to traffic next week, before the Australia Day long weekend. Initially traffic will move under the direction of stop/slow flagmen as work will then move to the intersection of Old Ferry Road, where some new traffic islands and kerb and guttering will be installed prior to the intersection and Tumbulgum Road being permanently resurfaced. Weather permitting, this will be completed by the end of February. Before Christmas, Council planted vines at the toe of the cliff face on the northern side of the road which are now making good progress up the trainer wires. Five different vines have been planted and will result in a display of greenery and yellow, white and pink flowers. The vines are Climbing guinea flower, Wonga wonga vine, Kangaroo vine, Bower vine and the nonnative Star jasmine. More plants will go in after the road reopens. The $3m upgrade has made the section of road safer for both pedestrians and motorists by cutting away and stabilising the cliff face on the northern side and the riverbank on the southern side. Pedestrians and cyclists now have a 2.5 metre-wide shared user path and motorists 3.5 metre-wide traffic lanes with improved lines of sight.

Before the upgrade, the stability of the cliff face posed a safety risk to both pedestrians and vehicles below with rocks dislodging and falling from above, particularly in wet weather. Also, early in 2015, a 14.5-tonne weight limit and speed restriction was placed on the road section which was at risk of failure under heavy loads.

Contractors mill off the old road pavement in preparation for a new temporary seal, ahead of the final pavement which will go on before the end of February, weather permiting.

Australia Day celebrations The official Tweed Shire Australia Day ceremony will be held at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre Auditorium on 26 January, starting at 11am. This year’s Australia Day Ambassador is local hero Bill Chaffey, a paratriathlete who won his fifth world championship in 2015. Bill represented Australia at the 2016 Rio Paralympics when paratriathlon made its debut. He was named the 2016 Australian Paratriathlete of the Year. The winners of the Tweed Shire Australia Day Awards will be announced at the ceremony, including Citizen of the Year, Young Achiever in Community Service, Arts and Cultural Achievement, Sporting Achievement, Community Event of the Year and Volunteer of the Year. More than 40 people will become new Australian citizens at the event, choosing Australia Day to make their commitment to their new home. Meanwhile, Council is supporting a number of community events across the Tweed. Some of these include: Tyalgum – Street parade from 9.30am, Australia Day presentation and other activities (best decorated bike, Aussie sing-a-long) at Tyalgum Hall at 10am and a cricket match at Bruce Bartrim Oval at 11.30am. Tumbulgum – Free ‘Big Breakfast’ at Brian Breckenridge Field from 8am, with presentation of village Australia Day awards, children’s activities and Australiana games. Bring an Australian dessert to share for the 10am morning tea, ready to watch the cricket challenge. Crabbes Creek – Breaky in the Creek, Crabbes Creek Hall 8–10am, $10 per head.

Join in Seniors Festival Anyone hoping to host an event as part of the Tweed Seniors Festival now has extra time to make a submission following a decision to extend the submissions deadline. The working group organising this year’s festival, which includes Council staff and representatives of community groups, has extended the deadline to allow organisations which may have had other priorities during the holiday period to complete their applications. The original deadline of 20 January has been extended and applications will now be accepted until close of business on Monday 5 February. The Tweed Seniors Festival will take place from 4 –15 April, with a wide range of activities around the Tweed highlighting the valuable contribution seniors make to our community. Activities may include anything from morning teas and lunches to film screenings, concerts, health activities, bus tours and guided walks. Businesses that cater to seniors may wish to hold open days to promote their activities while others may offer discounts for the duration of the festival. All approved activities will be featured in the Tweed Shire Seniors Festival program, which will be published in the Tweed Link, online and distributed to key locations around the Shire.

Celebrate Tweed Heads Library grand opening with us The grand opening of the newly refurbished Tweed Heads Library will be celebrated with a full schedule of community activities on Monday 22 January. The expanded and upgraded library has been operating since early December after being closed for most of 2017. Tweed Shire Council Director Community and Natural Resources Tracey Stinson said floor space has been increased from 619 to 1054 square metres and the layout redesigned to allow much greater flexibility of use. “Thank you to all the library users who have been so patient and cooperative during the upgrade project,” Ms Stinson said. “This is obviously an important facility for our community and the feedback since the doors opened again has been nothing but positive.” Activities on the day, ranging from story time for children and robotics to tech demonstrations for seniors and ancestry study, will highlight the range of activities the new library offers. Meanwhile the future of the Richmond Tweed Regional Library has been assured following the signing of a historic Deed of

Agreement in Tweed Heads. Councillors and executive staff from Tweed, Byron, Ballina and Lismore councils gathered with more than 80 library staff to sign the agreement, which has been more than 15 years in discussion and is the first in the 46-year history of the service. The Richmond Tweed Regional Library was established in 1971 but has operated on a handshake agreement with no formal agreement in place. In 2010 it was brought under the administration of Lismore City Council for legal reasons. It is the largest regional library service in NSW with more than 100,000 members and has the highest circulation rate in the state, with more than 1.8 million items borrowed in 2015/16. Ms Stinson said having a binding agreement in place was a sign of good modern governance. “The signing of this agreement shows a commitment by all parties to ongoing regional collaboration when it comes to the services we share,” said Ms Stinson. “Tweed ratepayers make a significant investment of $2.5 million each year to libraries which are by far our most used assets.”

Wet wipes can prove costly for you Council will keep its wet wipe hands-on experiments at its customer service counters at both its Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads administration offices this year for residents to see for themselves that regardless of the brand or what’s written on the pack, wet wipes do not break down in water and should not be flushed. After more than six months in water, these wet wipes are still fully intact. The toilet paper, however, began to disintegrate immediately. This year Council will also begin to collect data on how many sewer and sewer pump blockages are caused by wet wipes being flushed and what they cost the water ratepayer. Nationally it’s a problem estimated to be costing $15 million a year. “We need this data to quantify the size of this issue in the Tweed to help convince the community not to flush these items,” Connections Engineer Elizabeth Seidl said. “Currently we clear multiple small blockages a day and as yet have not seen a ‘fatberg’ removed from our sewer network but it’s an everyday possibility.” Residents also need to be aware that they would foot the entire bill to remove a wet wipes blockage if it occurs in the pipes on their property. One Sydney woman last year reportedly paid $16,000 for a plumber to find and fix a clogged pipe. Clogged pipes and pump stations also pose a risk to the health

Having your say on your say The Draft Community Engagement Strategy is open for the community to provide feedback until 2 February 2018. What’s new: • Introduction of six-monthly Stakeholder Forums with key interest groups and stakeholders, plus regular locality-based ‘Local Conversations’ for the public to attend. • Establishment of the Tweed Panel on Your Say Tweed for community members to join and have their say at a time and in a way that suits them. • An Engagement Improvement Panel will be established to monitor progress and advise the Council, Mayor and General Manager on implementation, in line with their statutory responsibilities. The Panel will be a sub-committee of the Audit, Risk and Improvement Committee. • A review of the scope, operation and effectiveness of advisory committees to determine whether any changes, additional or alternative committees are required to help achieve the objectives of this Strategy.

There’s no stopping this hurricane in the kitchen A member of Tweed Shire Council’s community-based Equal Access Inclusion Committee has been honoured with a significant grant to help him fulfil a long-held dream of publishing a cookbook. Nathan Quinell (pictured) of Pottsville qualified as a chef in 2006 despite being blind, requiring two cochlear implants to overcome his deafness and living with type one diabetes.

Pottsville chef Nathan Quinell cooking up a storm.

He has been selected as one of 45 recipients from more than 1800 applicants to share in part of the $1 million AMP Tomorrow Fund grants, aimed at supporting talented, determined Australians who are working hard towards a goal that will benefit the community. Nathan will use the funding to publish print and audio versions of The Hurricane Cookbook, a project he has been working on since becoming a chef. “The goal was to create a cookbook which is accessible to people at all levels of ability, especially those with challenges around literacy, media and numeracy,” said Nathan. “It’s a project which combines my two greatest loves, which are cooking good food and helping people.” The title of the book – and Nathan’s nickname The Hurricane Chef – refers to Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter, the middleweight boxer who was wrongly convicted of murder in 1967 and spent nearly 20 years in prison before being released. “I saw the movie about his life at a young age and was so inspired by his story,” said Nathan. Council’s Community Development Officer – Ageing and Disability Karen Collins, who coordinates the committee, said the award is well deserved.

More flood affected road repairs set to begin soon Council has awarded the third large package of minor to medium-sized flood remediation works to contractor Hazell Bros QLD following the 31 March 2017 flood. A fourth and final package is expected to follow soon. These packages of work have been bundled in geographic areas to minimise travel times between jobs and maximise on-the-ground efficiencies. This third package comprises repairs on 29 roads in Bilambil, Carool, Clothiers Creek, Cobaki, Condong, Duranbah, Duroby, Hopkins Creek, Mount Warning, Murwillumbah, Numinbah, Piggabeen, Pumpenbil, Tumbulgum and North Tumbulgum. It contains more than 80 damage items and is worth about $1.35 million. Work is expected to continue well into March on the first of the major road repairs of flood damage on Tweed Valley Way, South Murwillumbah, at Blacks Drain. There are about 50 more big jobs currently in various stages of

investigation and design. It is expected that most of these will be awarded by April. These jobs account for the bulk of the shire’s roads repair bill at about $16 million but will take many months to complete once awarded. Council now estimates the March flood caused approximately $28.9 million of damage to roads and bridges and expects to recover $20.3 million of its roads bill through Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Assistance (NDRRA) and grant funding, leaving a possible shortfall of $8.6 million to be funded from Council’s future operating and capital budgets. These figures continue to change as we firm up damage estimates, work to maximise funding opportunities and complete NDRRA assessments. NDRRA has strict funding rules, including that costs are recoverable only where Council uses contractor resources. That is, Council cannot use its own workforce to repair flood damage.

Living and Loving the Tweed

Rural land use in the Tweed has changed dramatically since its heyday in the early 20th Century.

Land use input wanted Anyone with an interest in the future use of rural land in Tweed Shire will have one final opportunity to hear about proposed changes face-to-face before the call for submissions closes. The Draft Rural Land Strategy, now on exhibition, seeks to paint a picture of how rural land in Tweed Shire will look in 20 years, how it will be developed and how it will be managed to preserve the quality of the rural Tweed lifestyle. An information session will be held in the Murwillumbah Civic Centre’s Canvas and Kettle room on Thursday 1 February from 7pm to 8.30 pm. Tweed Shire Council Senior Strategic Planner Stuart Russell will conduct the information session, who said the rural Tweed landscape had changed significantly in recent decades. “During its heyday, it is believed that more than 1750 dairies operated in the Tweed and about 1150 pig farms,” Mr Russell said. “Rural land in the Shire is now a complex mix of land uses ranging from arable land and extensive floodplains, to the rolling slopes where grazing is mixed with hobby farms and rural lifestyle properties, tourist developments, rural industries and villages. “The draft strategy proposes more than 140 actions for a balanced approach to the development of rural land.” Key points of the strategy include changes to housing and development regulations on rural properties, protection measures for key features of the landscape, increased opportunities for roadside produce stalls and a future ban on water-bottling facilities.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Hearing set for Urliup Road water extraction site Child support is one of the most emotional and hotly argued issues in society, and the legal arguments can be just as complex and convoluted. Sara Woolford, family lawyer with Stacks Law Firm, cites the example of a case where a father sought to end paying child support to the mother after the child started living most of the time with him. The couple were married in 1995 and had four children together. They separated in 2006, and in 2008 entered parenting orders by consent. This provided that the youngest child would live with his mother and stay with his father five nights each fortnight and more during school holidays. “In mid-2008, they signed a binding child support agreement in which the father paid $220 a week to the mother until the child reached 18,” Ms Woolford said. “That sort of agreement can only be changed or set aside by a court if exceptional circumstances have arisen. In 2012 the child, then aged 15, started living with his father six nights a week after relations with his mother became strained. By this time, the father’s child support payments had increased because of inflation.” In 2013 the father went to the Family Court seeking to set aside the binding child support agreement, as he was looking after the boy nearly all the time. He argued he would be paying $31,200 to his ex-wife for nothing. The mother argued that in law no “exceptional circumstance” had arisen to change the child support arrangements. She said it should have been foreseen that the boy might want to spend more time with his father. She also argued that the weekly payment did not inflict financial hardship on him. The father won the argument in the Family Court, and the mother appealed. The Full Court of the Family Court agreed with the mother. It ordered the father to continue to pay child support, even though the boy spent little time with his mother. “The court considered that a change in the son’s living arrangements should have been reasonably foreseeable, and the son living with the father rather than the mother was not an exceptional circumstance,” Ms Woolford said. Ms Woolford explained that the father had an advantage of certainty under the binding child support agreement. Circumstances changed when the son lived with him most of the time, but under the law, this wasn’t enough to end a binding child support agreement.

Land and Environment Court in Sydney the following day. Councillors voted to reject two separate development applications from the site last year, which included increasing the size of trucks on Urliup Road from six metres to 19 metres and upgrading four kilometres of Urliup Road, including 13 bends to accommodate the larger trucks. It was recommended that Councillors reject the application on the grounds that the works were not to an adequate standard to safely support a 19-metre truck. The Karlos family had offered to put forward $400,000 towards upgrading

More return and earn sites planned for Tweed

TWEED RESIDENTS frustrated by the Return and Earn scheme could soon see a reprieve as more deposit locations are being rolled out, with the next one due by the end of January. Tweed Mall Shopping Centre has been confirmed as the next location for a Return and Earn machine with a specific date yet to be announced. The new location will make up three total sites with the BP Chinderah Service Station and Kingscliff Woolworths already open for deposits. However, Tweed Valley residents are still waiting for a drop-off location in Murwillumbah or surrounds, after several complaints that the Tweed Coast drop-off points were persistently full. The Weekly spoke with a representative of the NSW Return and Earn Scheme who said the machines, which take eligible cans and bottles, are emptied twice daily. “We understand the frustration of some residents and we would encourage them to phone 1800 290 691 before they travel to confirm whether the deposit machine is full,” the spokesperson said. “We are also rolling out two more locations for the Tweed Shire including Tweed Mall and another site yet to be confirmed.” The spokesperson said she would also look at sending a representative from Return and Earn to Murwillumbah to investigate a Tweed Valley drop off location. “I can see that there’s quite a distance for Tweed Valley residents to travel to

Ineligible Return and Earn containers

the Tweed Coast,” the spokesperson said. “We will be sending a representative to investigate possible locations in Murwillumbah and will have more information in the coming weeks.” Meanwhile, the deposit scheme has been off to a strong start in 2018 with the first week seeing two million drink containers returned. EPA Acting Chair and Chief Executive Officer Mark Gifford said it was a good idea for people using the system for the first time to check the list of eligible containers before heading out to their local collection point. “The list of eligible containers has been created based on an analysis of the types of containers that are most often found in the litter stream, and it matches closely to other states with container deposit schemes in place, like South Australia and the Northern Territory,” he said. More than 160 million drink containers are littered across the state each year, and drink containers make up almost half the volume of total litter in NSW. “As more people across NSW get on board with Return and Earn, or continue to recycle through their local

council collections, we expect to see a significant reduction in the millions of containers that are tossed onto roadsides, parks and waterways each year,” Mr Gifford said. Containers returned to a reverse vending machine or over-the-counter collection point do not need to be in pristine condition but should be empty and uncrushed, and have the label intact. This is to ensure the label can be scanned at the collection point and the container be confirmed as eligible for the 10c return. Ineligible containers should be recycled where possible, or disposed of in appropriate bins. Containers that cannot be deposited for a refund include: • Milk containers. • Flavoured milk containers of one litre or more. • Pure fruit or vegetable juice containers of one litre or more. • Wine and spirit glass bottles. • Casks (plastic bladders in boxes) for wine or water of one litre or more. • Sachets for wine of 250ml or more. • Containers for cordials and concentrated fruit/vegetable juices. • Registered health tonics.

Water has been commercially extracted from the the Karlos family’s home for the past 14 years who are currently licensed to extract up to 60 megalitres per year, however, according to their development application extract a total of around 28 megalitres per year due to limits on truck size and movement.

THE NEW Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park is expected to be inundated with holiday bookings, after it was announced the site will open three weeks early on March 22 and will be taking reservations from February 14. The holiday park has been closed since January 2017 and it was estimated the redevelopment of the park, as part of the Kingscliff Foreshore Revitalisation Project, would take around 18 months to complete. The number of sites within the park has reduced from 176 to 61 and includes 44 tourist sites, nine powered tent sites, two three-bedroom cabins, five two-bedroom cabins and one accessible cabin. Tweed Shire Council had said prior to the closure of the park that they did not expect visitor numbers to reduce,

due to a number of long-term visitors that were residing at the park. “The holiday park changes - including the removal of a large number of longterm casuals who had exclusive use of their sites - will ensure sites are used more frequently, so a reduction in sites will not be matched by a corresponding decline in visitor numbers,” a Council media release read. Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Unit Coordinator Andrew Illingworth said the announcement is a huge milestone for the new park. “We can appreciate how eager the public is to book their stay with us and it’s so exciting to finally be able to set a date,” Mr Illingworth said. “We are so thrilled to be ahead of schedule and we would like to take this opportunity to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved for all their hard work over the past 12 months.

“Not only in creating such a beautiful space for our guests, but for creating the opportunity to share the stunning new park with the public even earlier than we thought was possible.” The redevelopment of the park is part of the $20 million Kingscliff Foreshore Revitalisation Project that also included stabilising the foreshore and creating the new Kingscliff Central Park. Kingscliff Central Park was partially opened to the public prior to Christmas and is expected to be completed soon, although a date for the opening has not been announced. The Tweed Coast Holiday Parks website will open for bookings from 10am on Wednesday, February 14. Bookings can be made up to one year in advance. Visit: www.tchp.com.au/ for more information.

TWEED POLICE have called on residents using social media to “choose their words carefully” as their negative comments could constitute intimidation or harassment and land you in court. Tweed Police Inspector Luke Arthurs told The Weekly that officers deal with a range of harassment cases on a regular basis, including most recently that of Lismore MP Thomas George, who was the victim of an alleged threat by South Murwillumbah resident Jamie Bolton. The specifics behind the comments made towards Mr George MP are yet to be revealed and Mr Bolton was expected to front Tweed Heads Court this week on multiple charges. He was also issued with an apprehended violence order (AVO) for two years which prohibits him from approaching or contacting Mr George MP or his family. Inspector Arthurs said he could not comment on the case involving charges against Mr Bolton, however he urged resident using social media to type with caution. “It is important people choose their words carefully and not to harass or intimidate others through their words or actions,” he said. Inspector Arthurs also wanted to urge people to be cautious of the identity of those they believe they are chatting or communicating with online. Meanwhile, Mr George MP told The Weekly he was “a bit shocked” by the threats made towards him but said it was not the first time. “It’s not the first time something like this has happened to me,” he said, having held the Lismore seat since 1999. “It’s not an uncommon thing to have people angry, but that can go too far at times.” Mr George said he was unaware of the threats until he received a call from The Nationals Party headquarters. “The Nationals were the first to get onto the issue and it’s since been with the courts,” he said.

Care To Think notches up fifth win

MURWILLUMBAH STAR trainer Matthew Dunn is celebrating another win after Care To Think, trained by Matthew Dunn Trainers, took out the Woodford Magic Millions Cup at the Gold Coast Turf Club on Saturday, January 13. Care To Think ($3.10) ran first in the 1,400m Woodford race with the win making it five in a row for the fouryear-old gelding. Care To Think won by one and a quarter lengths over Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Arbeitsam ($14). Mr Dunn told reporters following the race that he would be happy for Care To Think to bypass the Sydney and Melbourne 2018 Autumn Carnivals and concentrate on the Brisbane Winter Carnival with the Group One

$1.5 million Stradbroke Handicap (1,350m) at Doomben in June. Care To Think’s Magic Millions Cup win combines with several winning horses trained by Mr Dunn’s team near the Tweed River Jockey Club. Tweed River Jockey Club chairman Bernie Quinn heaped praise on Mr Dunn and alerted The Weekly to his latest win. “He’s had some fantastic results at the Jockey Club and now he’s got several Magic Millions Cups under his belt, he’s certainly one to watch,” Mr Quinn said. Channel 7 films crews were also spotted in the Tweed Valley recently taking footage of Mr Dunn at his stables for an upcoming feature.

THE DEVELOPMENT of the Tweed area as a dementia friendly community is evident with a steady increase in the number of local businesses and organisations being added to the National Dementia Friendly Community Hub. The latest to join is Tweed Community Support (Meals on Wheels) who were recognised late last year. “As a meal delivery service that also provides social support outings to individuals and groups, Tweed Community Support clients are all over the age of 65,” Tweed Community Support Manager, Chris Watt said. “The service’s commitment to becoming dementia friendly is in response to the awareness that the risk of developing dementia increases as we age and for people living with dementia and their carers, a diagnosis can result in social isolation.” Chris Watt said the organisation is delighted to have taken this step with the Tweed Dementia Friendly Steering Committee and Dementia Action Group. “As a service to the local community we are reminded each day of the growing number of our clients who are experiencing dementia in one of the many forms, either personally or as a carer,” Mr Watt said. “Our social support outings encourage our clients to continue being an active member of society. Becoming a dementia friendly community recognised business is an important step in achieving widespread community awareness around dementia and we are honored to be a part of this growing

community.” Christine Vannucci, Dementia Australia NSW Division’s Diversity Inclusion Officer based in Tweed Heads, said they were pleased to see more businesses and services taking the steps towards becoming more dementia friendly. “It all helps towards building a community where people with dementia feel understood, engaged, included and valued,” she said For more information and a toolkit with tips on how you can make your organization more dementia-friendly, visit the DFC Hub via www.dementiafriendly.org.au or contact the Dementia Australia Tweed Heads office on 07 5523 0731.

ALL THINGS LEGAL CHALLENGING A WILL ON THE GROUNDS OF UNDUE INFLUENCE

OR SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES

or a carer); • No apparent estrangement of the Will maker from disinherited beneficiary (e.g. a child is left out of the Will for no apparent reason); • Control of a testator by a favoured beneficiary (e.g. where the child lives with the elderly parent); • Preparation of a Will by persons known to the beneficiary rather than the Will maker (e.g. taking the parent to their own lawyer or another friend who prepares the Will); • Suspicious conduct of the beneficiary under the Will towards the disinherited beneficiaries after the Will has been executed (e.g. attempting to hide the existence of the Will or telling lies about the Will’s existence etc.). Although there is no strict definition of “suspicious circumstances”, most of the cases have held that wherever a Will is prepared under circumstances which raise a well grounded suspicion that it does express the mind of the Will maker, the court ought not to pronounce in favour of the Will unless that suspicion is removed (see Tyrrell v Painton (1894) P151). Another common circumstance is where a beneficiary has relayed the instructions for the preparation of the Will to the person drafting it (i.e. a solicitor) (see Astridge v Pepper (1970) 1 NSWLR 542). In many cases where there appears to have been suspicious circumstances (even when solicitors have been involved in the preparation and signing of the Will), it is common practice for beneficiaries who have been left out of the Will to seek particulars of the circumstances of the preparation and signing of the Will from the lawyers involved. In some cases, inexperienced lawyers in this area can make fatal mistakes in relation to accepting instructions from relatives of the Will maker and not properly testing the capacity and/or knowledge and approval of the contents of the Will with their client. This may also lead to a possible action for professional negligence against the lawyers by the beneficiaries who have been affected by the negligence of the lawyer. 3. Undue influence (and fraud) The issue of undue influence being used by a family member or beneficiary in relation to a person making or changing their Will is a very difficult area to prove. A very succinct statement of the law in relation to this area is as follows: “To be undue influence in the eye of the law there must be – to sum it up in a word – coercion.....The testator is in such a condition that if he could speak his wishes to the last, he would say, “This is not my wish but I must do it” (see Wingrove v Wingrove (1885) 11 PD 81.” It is no surprise that with this standard required in order to establish undue influence that there are not many cases where this has been upheld by the courts. In most areas of law the issue of undue influence can be quite straightforward, depending upon the relationship between the parties involved. However, when it comes to the area of succession law and people making Wills, by definition this involves close family relationships between the person making the Will and their relatives or family members. These relatives and family members have a very close relationship with the person making the Will and will certainly be able to influence the elderly parent or grandparent to make provision for them in their Will. This would appear to be behavior which is tolerated in this area of law because of the very close relationships involved within families. It is therefore very difficult to prove undue influence and the onus of proof shifts to those who allege it. Although there have been some very clear cases of coercion or bullying by relatives to elderly parents or grandparents, it would appear to be quite exceptional circumstances that will apply before this particular area can be proved. The areas of fraud are also very difficult to prove but seem to be very clear when fraud has taken place (e.g. people forging signatures on homemade Wills or pretending to be the person signing the Will etc.). Conclusion – How to get some advice Challenging the validity of a Will can be a very complicated and stressful experience for those who have been affected by this type of conduct from their family members. Emotions can run high and some children or grandchildren simply cannot accept that their parent or grandparent has chosen to change their Will and leave their assets in a certain way. In most cases you can engage an experienced lawyer in this area to investigate the circumstances of the preparation and signing of the Will for a relatively modest fee. In some cases, lawyers will attend to this on a “no win no fee” basis but usually only where the facts would appear to support a provision claim or a clear case of lack of capacity or suspicious circumstances.

Manipulation of elderly and vulnerable family members to change their Wills Attwood Marshall Wills & Estates partner Angela Harry discusses this interesting and increasingly prevalent area of law. Most families have a story of an elderly or vulnerable family member who has been influenced or even bullied by a close relative or family member to change their Will. In some cases this can also result in a transfer of property to the relative in question. Most lawyers have dealt with the unpleasant situation where adult children of an elderly parent squabble over the assets of the parent and quite often play “musical Wills” with siblings taking their parent to their own lawyers to have a Will drafted in their favour. This issue is not confined to family members and can also apply to friends, neighbours and increasingly, carers. We have many enquiries from family members concerning the validity of Wills that have been signed by their parents or grandparents in circumstances where there are suspicious circumstances concerning the provision of instructions and signing of the Will. One of the most common scenarios that we face is that an elderly parent, after a long history of previous Wills which leaves their assets equally to their children, suddenly and without reason changes their Will shortly prior to their death to leaves their entire estate to one particular child or a friend or carer. Whilst most adult children have grounds to bring a provision claim in the event of this happening, it does not cover all the circumstances and there are usually 3 main grounds that the validity of a Will can be contested: 1. Lack of testamentary capacity The question as to whether someone has the necessary mental testamentary capacity to provide instructions and sign a Will is a long-standing and recognised issue in the area of succession law. Many people think that if a person has been diagnosed with the onset of Alzheimer’s or dementia that this precludes them from making a new Will or signing an Enduring Power of Attorney. This is not the case and in order for a person to have sufficient testamentary capacity there are 4 recognised areas that the courts look to in determining whether someone has the necessary capacity to make a Will, namely: (a) The Will maker (testator) must be aware and appreciate the significance of the act in the law upon which he or she is about to embark; (b) The testator must be aware, at least in general terms, of the nature, extent and value of the estate over which he or she has a disposing power; (c) The testator must be aware of those who may have reasonably be thought of to have a claim upon his or her testamentary bounty and the basis for and the nature of the claims of such persons; (d) The testator must have the ability to evaluate and discriminate between the respective strengths of the claims of such persons. The upshot of the above is that the person making the Will must have regard to their overall circumstances, the assets that they own and how these are to be distributed amongst their family members (and the consequences of their actions in drafting the Will). There are many different circumstances that apply to the issue of whether someone has the requisite capacity to properly make a Will. The Courts have stated that it is the duty of lawyers to do their best to follow instructions provided to them (with the assistance of treating doctors and family), even if they are concerned as to whether their client has capacity. It is ultimately a matter for the Court to decide the issue of capacity. 2. Knowledge and approval of the contents of the Will – “suspicious circumstances” Even though a person may be deemed to have sufficient testamentary capacity to make and sign a Will, there is an additional element that the courts will look to in order to ensure the validity of the Will matches the testamentary intentions of the Will maker. This involves an examination of the facts and circumstances surrounding the preparation and execution of the Will support the fact that the Will maker knew and approved of the contents of the Will. In most cases, particularly where the Will has been prepared by a solicitor and signed by the Will maker, there is a presumption that the Will maker knew and approved of its contents. However, it depends upon the circumstances of taking the instructions for preparation of the Will and the signing of the Will that will determine whether the Will maker knew and approved of its contents. In the event of there being “suspicious circumstances” surrounding the execution and/or preparation of the Will, the onus of proving that the Will maker signed the Will with knowledge and approval of its contents shifts to the persons propounding or seeking to uphold that Will. Suspicious circumstances are varied but some of the examples that have appeared in the cases are as follows: • An unexplained change of testamentary direction (e.g. where previous Wills have left the estate to children equally and suddenly changes to one child

FINALLY, THERE’S a hearing device that lets you hear the way you should: all the way around. Until now, traditional hearing aids haven’t been able to process sound fast enough to help you hear all the way around you.

Trolley dumping concerns Van rolls off Cabarita headland TROLLEY DUMPING across the Tweed Valley has become a hot topic amongst residents this week with one resident suggesting a ride sharing service to assist those lugging their groceries home. Murwillumbah business owner Gary Bagnall took to social media on Monday, January 15, to highlight the plight of some residents, who he said were often forced to push their groceries home in trolleys from shopping centres such as Sunnyside Murwillumbah. He posted a photo of a shopping trolley that ended up on the side of the road at Bray Park, around 2.8km from the centre of town. “It is such a long way from town,” he wrote. “I think that someone needs a hand. The shopper wouldn’t be pushing a trolley for 3km for the fun of it.” “Some trolleys are dumped by lazy people and some by people who may not have transport or money for a taxi. The lack of public transport could be a problem too. “I wonder if the community centre helps with this issue? What creative ideas have you got for people pushing a trolley home from necessity?” The Weekly contacted Coles Murwillumbah manager Rose Bolton who clarified that Coles Murwillumbah does offer a grocery delivery service for customers who order online only (shop.coles.com.au). Other shopping outlets including Tweed Valley Way IGA also offer a home delivery service by phone on: (02) 6672 4288. “We’ve had a lot of calls about trolleys and shopping orders today,” Mrs Bolton said. “We did have the original service with home deliveries for groceries, but due to the trucks requiring refrigeration, we have implemented a new system whereby residents can order their groceries online and have them delivered for a fee – which is calculated online based on the area.”

Mrs Bolton said that Coles also offers a “Click and Collect” service whereby residents order their groceries online and then attend the Coles supermarket and the bags will be hand delivered. Mrs Bolton also addressed issues around trolley dumping and urged residents to phone the Coles Trolley Collection number toll free on 1800 876 553 (1800 trolley) and the trolley will be collected. “We really need people to phone the 1800-trolley number and we can get those picked up,” she said.

THE ARRIVAL of big swell wasn’t the only thing beachgoers were keen to catch a glimpse of at Cabarita on Wednesday, January 17. Residents were shocked to find a white van at the bottom of the Cabarita headland carpark about 600 metres north of Norries Head. A witness phoned The Weekly to describe what she said may have been a complete accident however she was uncertain how the incident occurred. “I’m not sure, but I think the driver has accidentally left his handbrake off the van

and was talking next to it at about 7.30am,” the witness said. “I think it was amazing that the van landed upright at the bottom of the hill and no one was injured.” The van is believed to have rolled off the edge of the cliff and down a rocky embankment landing upright and head-on into a large rock. Thankfully no one was in the vehicle at the time of the crash. The van was expected to be extracted with a crane, however specifics around the vehicle’s removal were unknown are the time of print.

Dentist urges parents to take up dental benefits schedule

It takes a

Town

i‘ s looking for supporters’ Imagine … working together to strengthen the culture of generosity in our community, to create opportunities for everyone to thrive.

CIRCLES OF SUPPORT is an initiative of It Takes a Town. It’s all about connecting families and individuals who are seeking change, with people in our community who have the skills, passion and time to support them to make that change.

Dr Anthony Hua with two smiling South Tweed Dental Child Dental Benefits Schedule patients

SOUTH TWEED Dental is putting the call out to parents with young children to take advantage of the Federal Government’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), which can provide an eligible child $1000 per year worth of dental care and ensure a lifetime of healthy teeth. To be eligible for the CDBS, your child must be aged between 2-17 (for at least one day of the calendar year) and must be eligible for Medicare. South Tweed Dental Dr Anthony Hua said the industry had recently seen a shift toward prevention and promotion of oral health which was supported through the CDBS. “The traditional approach of treating a child only when oral disease exists, or the child is deemed manageable is outdated,” Dr Hua said. “The shift is now towards oral health promotion and prevention of disease, and this is a philosophy that we embrace here at South Tweed Dental.” Dr Hua recommends that parents bring their children in for a check-up at the age of two, which is generally when all their baby teeth have arrived. “This gives us the perfect opportunity to examine the development of their teeth and catch problems early such as baby bottle tooth decay and teething issues. “It also ensures your child is familiar with a dentist at a young age, eliminating fear and creating good oral hygiene habits that will set them up for life.” Dr Hua has also provided The Weekly several examples of how early intervention can set up a child’s healthy teeth for life. “At South Tweed Dental, our goal for paediatric patients (children) is to maintain and protect their primary (baby) teeth for as long as possible until their permanent (adult) teeth are ready to take their place in the mouth,” he said. “Therefore, it is important to have children visit for regular six-monthly examinations from as early as two years of age.

, It’ s that simple!

We are currently looking for women and men to take on a key role in supporting families seeking change. If you have a bit of time to spare and are interested in connecting with a family seeking change, we’d love to hear from you. We will provide you with all of the support you need to make this a great experience for everyone involved. We are also interested in hearing from people who have a skill, passion or knowledge to share. For example, we receive requests for people to provide music and art lessons, tutoring, mentoring, cooking and maintenance. These skills are shared with families seeking change as they work towards enhancing their well-being.

If you are interested in ﬁnding out more, please contact Angie on 0481 243 450 or angieitat2484@gmail.com

“That way we can ensure that their oral habits do not cause serious problems as they grow older. “Common dental procedures for children include professional cleaning and polishing, oral hygiene instructions and fissure sealing to help prevent food being stuck inside deep grooves on the teeth which can be hard to brush.” One of the biggest bonuses about early intervention dental care is that it can prevent issues later in life. “Too often we see serious dental concerns in adults who have not maintained or cared for their teeth at an early age,” he said. “These conditions tend to require large amounts of time, cost and more invasive procedures to rectify; issues which may have been prevented with simple early diagnosis and intervention.” Finally, Dr Hua said visiting a dentist at an early age can reduce stress and emphasise the benefits of regular dental visits throughout life. “Here at South Tweed Dental, we believe that children should enjoy a comfortable and stress-free dental visit,” he said. “With the right guidance, children easily develop a positive approach to dental visits that help to promote good oral hygiene habits. “Studies have shown that early dental visits by age two and establishing a ‘dental home’ helps to reduce the development of dental anxiety. “Individuals with high levels of dental anxiety often find themselves in a selfperpetuating cycle of fear whereby they avoid regular dental treatment, seek care only when they are in pain, and develop dental needs that are extensive for which necessary treatments are invasive “Patients caught in this dental anxiety cycle typically report poor oral health in addition to their anxiety.” To find out more about the early dental care program for your child or family members phone South Tweed Dental on (07) 5523 2888 or visit 6a Tweed Office Park 24-28 Corporation Circuit, Tweed Heads South.

It takes a

TWEED POLICE have charged a man with allegedly breaking into a credit union building on Murwillumbah Street on Monday, January 15. Police said it was during the early hours of Monday that security guards responded to an alarm at the credit union building. When security arrived at the scene, they noticed a number of cladding planks had been removed from the building and immediately contacted local police. As police were driving to the scene they noticed a man walking nearby and stopped to investigate. “He was searched and a number of items were allegedly located on him, including housebreaking implements,” police said in a media statement.

“Police attempted to arrest the man and a violent struggle ensued. “The man was eventually handcuffed and during the scuffle it is alleged a police officer was bitten.” The man was taken to Tweed Heads Police Station and charged with two counts of break and enter with intent, assaulting police, resisting arrest, having his face blackened/disguised with intent, possessing safe-breaking implements, possessing housebreaking implements, malicious damage and eight warrants for break and enter offences in 2015. The man was refused bail and appeared before Tweed Heads Local Court on Tuesday, January 16. Police said the officer was treated for a minor injury.

Mustang Australia’s most popular sports car THE FORD Mustang was Australia’s favourite sports car in 2017, with more than 9,000 vehicles sold, securing its place at the top of sports car sales for the past two years. Mustang sales reached a high of 1,351 in May 2017, totalling a whopping 9,165 sales in 2017, almost 3,000 more than in 2016. The Mercedes Benz C Class came in with the second highest sports car sales with 2,818 vehicles sold, followed by the Hyundai Veloster that had 1,935 sales. The Mustang has been on the Australian market for the past two years after the iconic sports car was

built in right-hand drive for the first time in its five-decade history. Australia has since become the number one market for right-hand drive Mustangs globally. “There is certainly an element of desirability for the Mustang here in Australia,” said Graeme Whickman, Ford Australia President and CEO. “Its iconic look turns heads, and with performance to back that up, its broad appeal becomes clear when you go for a drive in one – you don’t even have to be the one behind the wheel to enjoy it.” There was so much demand for the car in 2017 that customers were required to go on a waiting list whilst

forward rushed to import more vehicles. “We’ve worked with the team in Detroit to help reduce the wait for Australian customers,” Greg Davidson, Ford Australia Sales Director said. “We secured additional supply of right-hand drive Mustangs, which has helped those looking to own this icon realise the goal sooner.” Details of the 2018 Mustang have been released including a new body, a change from a six-speed to a 10-speed, improved fuel economy and handling. A date for the Australian release has not yet been announced, but is anticipated the Mustang will remain at the top of the best sellers list in 2018.

Camaro coming to Australia

GM HOLDEN and HSV have announced an agreement that will bring both the Chevrolet Camaro and Silverado to Australia this year. The focus of the new agreement is to utilise HSV’s famed design, engineering, manufacturing and marketing skills across a broader range of products, giving customers access to some of the very best vehicles from across the GM empire. Tim Jackson, HSV Managing Director, said it was fantastic to see the new partnership cemented between the two brands. “This marks a whole new era for HSV and Holden and I hope our customers are as excited as we are,” he said. “HSV is moving beyond simply ‘hotting up’ existing models, and customers will see two product streams from HSV over the next few years. This is ‘Game-On’ in a very big way.” Holden’s Chairman and Managing Director, Mark Bernhard, said the new agreement was a pivotal step for both companies. “Our partnership with HSV, utilising their world-class engineering and design capabilities, means we’re able to work together to bring the iconic Chevrolet Camaro muscle-car and the best-selling Chevrolet Silverado pick-up, to customers in Australia and New Zealand,” he said.

THE TWEED will be one of the best places in the world to view a once in a lifetime lunar eclipse at the end of this month where a blue moon, a blood moon and a supermoon will converge on the same night. The eclipse will begin from around 10.48pm on Wednesday, January 31, eclipsing fully between 11.51pm to 1.07am and ending at 2.11am. Professor of Geography Bill Boyd from Southern Cross University's School of Environment, Science and Engineering said the event will be the first ‘super red blue moon’ for at least 150 years. “The title ‘super red blue moon’ sounds a bit peculiar,” he said. “But it describes an event where three separate lunar conditions come together simultaneously.” “Each happens on its own time cycle, but this year they all happen at the same time. This is an extremely unusual occurrence – it will be unlikely for all three celestial events to converge again within the next century.” A supermoon occurs when the moon is at its closest point to the earth, around 25,000km closer than average and appears 14 per cent larger and 30 per cent brighter than usual. “This happens every 14 months or so,” Professor Boyd said. “Meanwhile, a lunar eclipse happens when the sun, the Earth and the moon are completely aligned, so that the moon travels through the Earth’s shadow. It occurs two to four times a year, though not usually a full eclipse.” Professor Boyd said a common misconception is that the sky will go completely dark during a total lunar eclipse. “As the moon passes through the earth’s shadow, people often assume it will go completely dark,” he said. “However, some of the sunlight entering the Earth’s atmosphere, notably the red

spectrum, is scattered in a way that gently illuminates the moon. This gives the moon its red glow and is often referred to as a red or blood moon.” “As for the blue moon, it’s not actually blue. It is a name now used to describe a second full moon in a month.” Professor Boyd said the supermoon is associated with higher-than-usual tides, but the moon is not the only control over high tides. “There have been especially high tides worldwide recently,” he said. “These are linked to the supermoon, but also caused by the peak of an 18.6-year cycle of the moon, just another interesting convergence of lunar events.” However, Professor Boyd emphasised that, despite what some might believe, the moon doesn’t cause natural disasters. “I’m not an astrophysist or astronomer, but as a geographer I take a keen interest in these natural earthly phenomena,” he said. “There is no link between the moon and geological events such as tsunamis and earthquakes. These geological processes do not need the moon to do anything. They happen for entirely different earthly causes.”

Cabarita Youth Service strengthening local employment CABARITA YOUTH Service (CYS) is celebrating the inaugural graduation of 12 local youths who recently completed the Community Connections Local Youth, Local Employers program. Cabarita Youth Service teamed up with both Northern Rivers Connect Inc and Kingscliff TAFE and several community minded local employers, to bring an exciting new program to the youth of the Tweed titled ‘Community Connections’. Through this new initiative a dozen go-getting youngsters had the opportunity to enhance their lives and employment prospects by connecting with local employers for 15 hours work per week for eight weeks. They also undertake a Retail Certificate at Kingscliff TAFE one day a week and complete a White Card course in Workplace Health and Safety to gain other relevant skills and put them on the path to employment. Cabarita Youth Service, Youth Worker, Chris Hitchcock said he was delighted with the commitment shown by the young people on the program. “I am thrilled to announce that half the participants have been offered paid, ongoing employment with their host employers,” he said. Both Mr Hitchcock and Kim Telling a Youth Worker with Connect Northern Rivers Inc worked closely with both the youth and their work experience employers to support a meaningful experience and positive outcomes.

Ms Telling said that a couple of the young people have decided to go onto further studies next year to continue their journey towards employment and she will be supporting the other graduates to find employment. Tweed Shire Councillor James Owen has also been a big supporter of the initiative by connecting employers to the youths and keeping the media updated to spread the word. “Since I was elected to Council, the sense of pride and joy that I felt having been a part of this initiative and presenting the certificates was on a par with witnessing the post flood community spirit,” he said. “Some of these young people have faced and continue to face massive challenges in their lives but they committed to Community Connections and the results are satisfying. “They felt the fear and did it anyway and I think they will all come out better for it – I’m super proud of them all.” Cr Owen said Mr Hitchcock approached him at the beginning of the program to see if he would spread the word amongst his network. “I was overwhelmed with the positive response we got from our incredible Tweed Business Community,” Cr Owen said. “I had so many people offering to help that it ended up with Chris and I having a bit of friendly banter about who was going to get the most employers on board – unfortunately for Chris I think I pipped him in the end - actually I

have no idea who won in the end – I just like stirring Chris up. “The fact is it was a tremendous effort and I’d like to make a massive shout out to all of the businesses who stepped up to help.” Both Mr Hitchcock and Cr Owen said the program was only made possible thanks to the kind community support from Cabarita Beach Bowls and Sports Club, who were the main sponsor along with the Ladies in League from Seagulls Junior Rugby League Club with a generous donation last year to CYS. Mr Hictchcock provided one example of a successful teenager who completed the course.

“Take young Blake as an example, a great local employer Salt Bar at Casuarina answered the call to support a youth on this program,” he said. “Blake’s personality suits him well for hospitality work and during the program he also completed his RSA & RCG (Responsible Service of Alcohol and Responsible Conduct of Gaming) all funded by the program, along with lots of hands-on work experience shifts with Salt Bar. “He, as did all the youth, impressed the team out there and has been offered paid work.

“It has been amazing to see the changes in Blake and his enthusiasm. “This has been just one example of the success of our local youth and the support shown by our local employers.” Community Connections will run again during the first half of 2018 and support is ongoing for the recent graduates to capitalise on their new skills and experience. If you are an employer keen to find out more about the recent graduates please call Kim from Connect Northern Rivers Inc on 07 5536 9033.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

The Weekly announces circulation increase Tweed Link changes THE TWEED Valley Weekly team is proud to announce an increase in circulation, as the only free independent newspaper that’s dedicated to the Tweed Shire continues to grow. Over the coming weeks The Weekly will be adding an additional 1,000 printed newspapers across the shire to continue engaging and reporting local news, events, real estate, sport and so much more. Editor Jonathon Howard said the paper has also welcomed the addition of Tweed Shire Council’s Tweed Link newsletter, which will be printed inside each week. “This is a big step up for The Weekly and we will continue to strive to produce the best newspaper in the Tweed Shire,” he said. “While we are printing the Tweed Link, we remain an independent news source and will continue to publish stories that are important to our readers.” Jonathon said the next step was rolling out more distribution stands for bulk drops and increasing the circulation around Tweed Heads, Banora Point and Kingscliff. “We are constantly taking calls from residents asking where they can find their copy of The Weekly,” Jonathon said. “Through increasing our circulation, we hope to address those needs and engage more readers than ever before. “As of today (Thursday, January 18) you can now pick up a copy of the Tweed Valley Weekly at the Kingscliff, Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah libraries, Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah Council offices, and the Banora Point, Pottsville, Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah community centres.” Jonathon said The Weekly has also introduced a new digital subscription option for readers. “Those wanting to see The Weekly via our website, with the Tweed Link inside, can now subscribe via our website (tweedvalleyweekly.net.au) to receive their digital version every Thursday, or simply visit the website and click on the current edition,” he said. Advertisers are also expected to be the big winners in the circulation boost, with more readers than ever seeking out The Weekly.

Sales Manager Richard Bowe and Editor Jonathon Howard with one of the new distribution stands

Sales Manager Richard Bowe said advertisers had been calling for more copies across Banora Point and Tweed Heads, where readers love the Weekly but hate missing out. “A lot of clients will be happy with this news, as their customers will now see more editions, or they can subscribe,” he said. “The best part for our clients and new advertisers is that prices will remain the same, and we will continue to offer discounted rates and competitive packages. “I think this is a big step up for the local paper and one we are confident will continue to help The Weekly stand out now and into the future.”

TWEED RESIDENTS can now find the Tweed Link inside Tweed Valley Weekly every week as a dedicated feature from page 6 onwards. Tweed Link will continue to have Council’s news, events, notices and vital Council information every week. “Times have changed and independently printing and distributing the Tweed Link for 42,500 households each week, in a growing population, has become unsustainable,” a Council media release read. “These changes will provide significant savings and allow residents to choose their preference to receive or access the Tweed Link and stay informed about Council news.” As part of improving The Weekly circulation, we are also offering a dedicated digital subscription service via the tweedvalleyweekly.net.au website. Readers can fill out their details and lodge those to receive The Weekly edition with Tweed Link printed inside every Thursday or email subscriptions@theweekly.net.au Anyone with difficulties finding a copy is encouraged to try the digital subscription service first and those without internet access can also refer to our latest bulk drop location list printed below. If you have exhausted all options and are still unable to get your copy via print or online, please contact the Weekly on (02) 6672 4443. Editor Jonathon Howard said he was keen to help readers get their vital local information including news and the Tweed Link. “I want to encourage readers to get in touch with us and find the best way to get their edition each week,” he said. “For those who do not want to use digital, we can certainly assist with areas and times that we bulk drop. “We’re also increasing our circulation this week and during the coming weeks to areas such as Banora Point, Tweed Heads and Kingscliff, where readers have long been calling for more editions. “I always welcome anyone’s feedback and advice on the future of The Weekly as the Shire’s only dedicated Tweed independent news source.” Tweed Valley

Australia Day 2018 Tyalgum plans big one for Aussie Day TYALGUM VILLAGE is set to host an exciting day of activities including a cricket match and street parade for Australia Day next week and everyone’s invited. On Friday, January 26, residents from across the Tweed Shire will come together to celebrate Australia Day. Tyalgum’s recently formed Australia Day Organising Committee said they are excited to be reigniting the program of events for the village of Tyalgum for 2018, to make this Australia Day a special day here in the beautiful Tweed Valley.

Tyalgum Australia Day Organising Committee members Annette Baglin, Rona Quayle, Jodi Morse, Peter Meadows and Solar Chapel.

The day will commence with the traditional street parade at 9.30am, with all community organisations, businesses, school groups and individuals encouraged to participate. Committee convenor Peter Meadows said he wanted to encourage residents to make a float, march in the parade and dress up their best Aussie themed outfits. “Prizes are awarded to best decorated floats and children’s bikes,” he said. “Plus every child with a decorated bike will receive a delicious gelato from the new Tyalgum Gelato Shop.” Following the parade the community is encouraged to gather at the Tyalgum Hall for the formal part of the day from 10am which will include an Acknowledgement of Country by the traditional custodians. “The Tyalgum Public School captains will make an address and raise the flag as we sing the National Anthem,” Mr Meadows said.

“Inside the hall, presentation of Australia Day awards will be made to recognise members of our community who have made a significant contribution to Tyalgum Village. “Morning tea will be provided followed by a sing-a-long while children’s activities are held outside.” Flutterbies event coordinator Solar Chapel said there was already a great buzz of anticipation in the air with the ‘double wicket cricket comp’ to be played on Bruce Bartrim Oval commencing at 11.30am. “The cricket is open to men, women and young people with teams of two to be drawn from a hat,” he said. “Each team will bat and bowl two overs per player with eleven fielders. A cricket ball is used. “The game can cater for over 30 players. Trophies will be given to the winning team (trophy each) and to the runners-up (trophy each). “A modest barbeque and bar will be available throughout the afternoon. Entries on the day at the oval at 11.30am.” There will also be a Market at the back of Flutterbies from 9am-3pm with live music and Flutterbies will also be celebrating it’s 13th birthday on the day. “There will be a few new surprises down there so be sure to pop in through the course of the day,” Mr Chapel said. To find out more about the event or to sign up for cricket contact Solar at Flutterbies on (02) 6679 3221.

Aussies vs Stokers Siding cricket match

AN HISTORIC Tweed Valley cricket match is set to take place on Sunday, January 28, at the Murwillumbah cricket fields (Rab Jones Oval) for the Aussie Memorial Cricket Club versus Stokers Siding. The friendly social match has a long history with the first game played in January 1997 and with periods throughout the 1990s where multiple games were played annually. While not an official tournament, the match commemorates the loss of the Australian Hotel, which burnt down in Murwillumbah’s CBD during 1981. The iconic pub remains immortalised in a

special urn that carries some of the hotel’s ashes and was expertly crafted by pottery master Bob Connery and encased in local wood and leather by Greg Balgowan. The urn is just one of the coveted prizes that’s highly sought, with each year’s winner inscribed on the urn’s wooden case. Several keen cricketers and locals, including Lee Balgowan and Don Richards, visited The Weekly on Monday to promote the event and encourage the community to join the spectators. “It’s a great family day out and although we’re close to having the two sides filled, we would like everyone to come down and support their side,” Mr Balgowan said.

Spectators can pay a fixed fee of between $5 and $10 which then goes towards soft drinks and a barbeque. This year’s match is also significant as it leads up to the 40th anniversary of the Aussies vs Stokers Siding memorial cricket match with a particular focus on encouraging past and present players, friends and family to join the fun. Mr Balgowan said the tournament was well supported by local businesses including Sports World Murwillumbah and the Murwillumbah Cricket Club. “We’d like to give a special thank you to the Murwillumbah Cricket Club for the use of the field and Sports World Murwillumbah,

Andrew Hmelnitsky reveals latest works

Talking

FILMS th Mia wi

SWINGING SAFARI Many of us belong to the generation who grew up in simpler times, when there was no perceived need of constant parental supervision and when kids were roaming free for hours on end, especially during the summer. Obviously Stephen Elliott, the director of the seminal film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, comes from the same mold. His new film Swinging Safari, starring some of the biggest Australian names including Guy Pearce and Kylie Minogue, is a semi-autobiographical account of a summer in the 1970s, when kids were running wild on the beach while their parents where going wild in their own way behind closed doors. The film is a comedy that conveys the innocence of an era of careless parenting, constant sunburn and sexual revolution. The setting is a typical Australian beachside neighborhood; originally Elliott wanted to film it on the northern beaches of Sydney where he grew up but since those places have changed too much in the meantime he decided to film it on the Gold Coast. Apparently some of the details hit a bit too close to home, and the directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother was not very happy with her depiction in the film. And among the prevalent comical takes on the life of that time there are some dark moments in the film, as many people did not survive it unscathed. In an interview Elliott said that he hopes that people will â&#x20AC;&#x153;take it with great celebration, I hope the memory gates open. I hope 78947

they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apologize for one single chunk of their childhood, as I am not. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apologize, celebrate itâ&#x20AC;?.

THE LATEST artworks by local artist Andrew Hmelnitsky will open at the Tweed Regional Gallery on Thursday, January 25. Bali Bengong, the title for his show, is inspired by the huts the Balinese sit and sleep in by the beach. A place to reflect, rejuvenate and gather inspiration. The opening night, which will take place from 5pm to 8pm will present Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest artwork after spending three months in Bali. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body of work pays homage to the temples and fishermen of Indonesia, after a three-month residency in Sanur, Bali. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was spellbound by the country of my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ritual of Hindu cremation and the colour of the traditional boats upon the beach.â&#x20AC;? Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest works follow his hugely successful solo show at the Tweed Regional Gallery and his Murwillumbah Studio now plays host to 25 new paintings. The exhibition will be open on Friday, January 26, Saturday, January 27, Sunday, January 28 and again on Saturday, February 3, Sunday, February 4, from 10am to 5pm. Art for Andrew Hmelnitsky is genetic who grew up in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, playing the piano, cimbalom and other tuned percussion instruments, such as the marimba and

vibraphone, once playing with Tommy Tycho at the Sydney Town Hall. By the age of 10 the old Russian family had all passed away leaving no family hierarchy to guide the children of the next generation in music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Travelling extensively throughout Europe in my teenage years, I was lucky enough to meet my Australian art hero, Jeffrey Smart and spend time with him in Arezzo, Italy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Spain I undertook art studies with Ross Davis. In Florence each year, days were spent wandering the Ufizzi Gallery and sketching in the Academy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I drew in the streets of Paris by the side of the Seine in the frozen winters and marveled at the impressionists in the Jeu de Paume.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We visited every church, monastery and art gallery that it was possible to see from The Kremlin in Moscow to St Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cathedral in London. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My art is about love, about life and about time. It is about a journey, about memory and about loss.â&#x20AC;? Andrew, 49, has been represented in solo exhibitions with Tim Olsen, Michael Car, Robin Gibson and Damien Minton, and has participated in over 100 exhibitions.

What happens to your recycled clothes Story: Robin Osborne Photos: Jacklyn Wagner

Angelo Grande and incoming bundles

Sorting the clothes

Shredding rags

Every day around 10 tonnes of discarded clothing and piles of sundry household items are placed in, or less happily beside, Vinnies collections bins throughout the North Coast and other parts of NSW. First dibs on this mountain of material goes to the Vinnies shop volunteers who sort through the donations and set aside clean, undamaged items for sale in one of the 27 shops between Tweed Heads in the north and Laurieton in the south. “After some sprucing up these first-quality items go on sale in local Vinnies shops,” said Angelo Grande, the Society’s Recycling and Waste Management Facilitator for the past 16 years. “Thanks to the bargain prices they go quickly out the door.” A small quantity of goods, soiled or damaged, must be sent to landfill, with the remainder being transported to the Vinnies recycling centre in the Lismore suburb of Goonellabah. The centre, occupying 1600 square metres, is named after Matthew Talbot, the 19th century Dublin ascetic who is an inspiration for ex-alcoholics worldwide. It is the largest such facility in regional NSW, handling one-fifth of the state’s total clothing donations. Toys, household goods and other recyclable wares are sent to the Vinnies Buy Back Shop, next to the recovery centre at Murwillumbah tip. Some items – from luggage to car seat restraints - are sent overseas, mainly to Papua New Guinea, Australia’s nearest neighbour.

PNG, along with several east African countries, is also a destination for the tonnes of reusable clothing that the centre reprocesses. Angelo Grande’s team of twenty, many on JobStart or other supervised programs, start with sorting wearable clothes from clean but tattered items that, shorn of buttons and zippers, will be blade-shredded and sold in 5kg or 10kg packs known as ‘Vinnies Bag O Rags’. These are a mainstay for painters, mechanics, car detailers and DIY home improvers.

The largest clothing recycling centre in regional NSW helps fund St Vincent de Paul’s social works programs. The bulk of the usable clothing is folded and bundled together for compacting into 210 kg bales using a converted wool press, one of the facility’s cannily adapted pieces of equipment. These huge packs are moved by forklift to waiting trucks that will take them to shipping containers on the docks and on to outdoor markets in PNG and Africa where the recycled

donations will be sold to local people at affordable prices. “This is a recycling effort that starts with individual Australians and moves to an industrial scale,” said Yvonne Wynen, North Coast President of St Vincent de Paul Society. “Each year we are rescuing nearly half a million tonnes of clothing that would otherwise go to landfill. The precious funds we earn are used to help local people doing it tough. “This includes support with accommodation, food and pharmacy bills, the needs of children, drop-in facilities for homeless people, all made possible through recycling goods that society discards. It’s a win on every level,” Ms Wynen said. Robin Osborne is St Vincent de Paul’s regional communications manager, Jacklyn Wagner is former chief photographer at The Northern Star.

NORTH WALL – fish here for jew, bream, jacks and tailor. Best fished on the slack of the tide. Be careful of waves if the swell is up. If fishing after a bit of rain, try big soft plastics for jew on the end of the wall. Fish the end of the wall and near the VMR jetty for bream, jacks, flathead and whiting. JACK EVANS BOAT HARBOUR – slack water at most stages of the tide. Good flatties, whiting and luderick bite here. This is a great spot for kids because they can have a dip as well. TWEED RIVER WALL - Fish along the wall on the slack of the tide for luderick, bream, jacks and jew. It is deep water so don’t be scared to use big baits. Right along the wall near the hospital you’ll find bream, flathead, jew and jacks. The wall is fairly easily traversed, so if fishing with kids it is pretty safe. Fish the slack of the tide. Fish near the shallow inlet to the lagoon on the run-out. Jacks, queenies, trevally, bream, flathead and whiting sit out the front waiting for any unlucky bait to waft by. A good spot for kids. KENNEDY DRIVE BOAT RAMP JETTY – if you can’t catch a fish here there is something wrong. Best fished on the run-out, you’ll get bream after bream as you float a bait over the weed beds. Good numbers of luderick also congregate here. Just make sure you give boats that want to berth the right of way. They are usually gone in under a minute and don’t scare the fish. A great spot for kids.

I’m your local Isagenix independent associate. Isagenix offer a variety of weight-loss systems. All of these systems are a combination of shake days and cleanse days, which are nutritionally solid, science-based and designed to work with your body’s systems to help rid itself of toxins and aid your efforts to remove unwanted body fat and increase energy levels. I personally have always considered myself to be a healthy eater and have kept reasonably fit. Until earlier this year I was struggling with low energy, always exhausted that I put down to the few extra kilos I had gained due to life’s circumstances. Then, I was introduced to these amazing products that have released stubborn belly fat, boosted my mental clarity, feel less stressed, increased my energy levels and allowed me to sleep more soundly. The Isagenix system is a nutritional replenishing system for optimal health which backed by Science. Independent research from the University of Illinois at Chicago and Skidmore College show that the Isagenix systems are superior to the traditional healthy-heart diet for weight loss and improving cardiovascular health markers. Participants who used the Isagenix system during the maintenance phase of the study maintained their weight loss, fat loss and visceral fat loss while healthy-heart diet participants rebounded.

Have your say on carp control RESIDENTS OF the Northern Rivers are invited to attend a community briefing session hosted by the National Carp Control Plan (NCCP) and North Coast Local Land Services on February 8, from 6pm. The community briefing session will be held at the Lismore Workers Club and will provide participants an opportunity to hear first-hand from the NCCP and North Coast Local Land Services, as well for residents to contribute feedback to the plan. The NCCP is investigating ways to control carp centered on the use of a species-specific virus known as Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (the carpvirus) as a biocontrol agent, and to ensure that risks associated with its potential use are identified and mitigated. NCCP National Coordinator Matt Barwick said waterways are the lifeblood of many rural and regional communities and they need to be rehabilitated. “While these community briefing sessions are important for us to

share the background, context and desired outcomes of the NCCP, they also provide an opportunity to hear from community members about how the prevalence of carp impact on them, their lifestyle or business,” Mr Barwick said. “We want to work collaboratively with the local community - as healthy river systems and waterways result in healthier communities.” “We value the opinions and beliefs of those who live in the Northern Rivers region and we want to understand the ecological values of the affected river systems and waterways and any likely direct or indirect impacts, be it social, environmental, economic or cultural, that may eventuate,” Matt says. North Coast Local Land Services is working with the NCCP to ensure local issues are considered in the plan. “The NCCP is a process, not a foregone conclusion so we encourage residents to share their thoughts and opinions and help shape the recommendations to government,” said Peter Boyd, Team

Leader, North Coast Local Land Services. The community briefing session will cover research underpinning carp biocontrol, and summarise work underway under the NCCP and what is yet to come. A workshop will be held prior to the community briefing session to allow representatives from key stakeholder groups to inform the NCCP about the prevalence of carp in local waterways, how the waterways are being used by the community and the benefits or impacts carpreduction may have on the community.

Help your stock beat the heat

THE NORTH Coast Local Land Services District Veterinarian team are urging stock owners to be mindful of the impacts of high temperatures on their stock as hot weather is forecast to continue in the coming days and into next week. Cattle can be affected by heat stress and signs include – increase in respiration rate, open mouth breathing, reduced feed intake, seeking shade, crowding around water troughs, drooling saliva and

in severe cases collapse and death. Owners should ensure that cattle are in a paddock that provides adequate shade opportunities for all stock, especially in the hotter parts of the day and ensure that water supply is adequate. Dairy farmers may consider altering milking times, delaying afternoon milking and using sprinklers in the dairy yard. It is also important to ensure farm dogs have access to plenty of shade and water – providing additional water dishes may be necessary

Bowls Notes FAREWELL 2017. Welcome 2018. As we look forward to the new year and reflect on what was in 2017, one can easily bring back memories of many great games and competitions and some that probably would be better forgotten and never mentioned again, However, that being yesteryear, the new year is sure to provide a wealth of opportunities for all and sundry out on the greens. Summerland Pairs and Singles at Ballina was a most successful event during the festive season and it was grand to see district lads, Condong’s Mick Chilcott and Warren Peart

with Judy Tuckey

and Byron Bay’s Bulla Burton and Paul Clarke, do so well. Both teams progressed through their rounds unscathed to reach the semi-finals, only to be taken out by the winners and runners-up. Great performance, guys. Cudgen Leagues bowlers conduced their informal “first bowl of the season” ceremony 3 January and in the absence of royalty or some other high roller this year, appointed their very own V.I.P. – 96 year old super vet, Tommy Grimes, to perform the honours. Much to the delight of fellow club members Tommy delivered the jack and then drew a toucher first up. How’s that! With his ageing old Henslite

cannon balls, this young fella still remains a major problem for his opposition. On a more serious note, District men will commence this year’s championships 21 January. Open Fours will be conducted at Cabarita and the Reserve Graders and Seniors will compete at Cudgen Leagues. District women are preparing for the Pennant season with first games scheduled for late February. This year’s calendar of events for both genders promises a ‘full on’ line up of great competitions to enter, so, go forth, try not to come fifth, and enjoy. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Muskens and Kelly take th e titles at B ells QUALIFYING FOR the 2019 Works Junior Titles has already begun, and two local surfers, Dexter Muskens (Snapper Rocks) and Zahli Kelly (Cabarita) have started the best way possible winning the first event of the WSL Junior Qualifying Series (JQS) at the iconic Bells Beach. The final day of the event saw 3-4ft waves at the world famous beach. In a hotly contested Girls Final, Zahli Kelly pulled a rabbit out of the hat in the closing minutes to win the opening event of the tour. “I’m so happy to win, especially because I did it on my last wave,” Kelly said. “To win at Bells is so special. Having a CT (Championship Tour Event) here and being able to surf a Pro Junior is an amazing experience.” Needing an excellent scoring ride Kelly took off in the final minute and locked in a score of 9.50, the highest wave score of the day, to move ahead of Californian surfer Alyssa Spencer.

“I knew that I needed a big score and I couldn’t really hear the scores because of the wind. I didn’t feel any pressure because I didn’t think I was going to win, so I just wanted to have fun on my last wave.” Spencer had one last chance to regain the lead in the dying seconds but fell short by 0.4 of a point, finishing with a head total of 15.00 (out of a possible 20). Kelly finished with 15.40 points. Another local lass Piper Harrison did not have a great final placing 4th, but gaining valuable points toward qualification. The Boys final also saw an equally impressive display of surfing with Dextar Muskens taking the win. Muskens looked comfortable in the rising surf locking down two excellent rides on his way to a 17.40 heat total. “It still hasn’t sunk in yet,” said an elated Muskens. “It was my goal this year to win a Pro Junior and to do it so early is awesome. I have been coming here to compete for about 5 years now. Bells is such an iconic break, I’m stoked to get it done today and take the win.” Placing in second was Kehu Butler (NZ), who also put on an incredible show, however, fell just short of Muskens with a 16.00 heat total. Placing in third was Joel Paxton (Byron Bay, NSW) on 11.65 points followed by Jackson Roberts (Central Coast, NSW) on 9.50 points. The next event is on the Gold Coast in April, with the series wrapping up in Cronulla in August.

The Girls are Taking Over the Beach

Out of the way boys, the girls are taking over the beach!! There will be a distinctly feminine feel on beaches around the country come Saturday March 3rd when the Surf Dive ‘N Ski Girls Go Surfing Day hits the waves. Initiated originally to drive mums, aunties, grandmas, daughters, nieces, sisters and all other females into the surf

and onto a board, the revamped program, which was last run in 2013 following 23 years of this all-female program being held, encourages girls of any age and ability to come along and learn from an experienced instructor how to surf. The Girls Go Surfing Day provides an amazing opportunity to share the experience of surfing and also to give back to the Surf for Life Project. This project helps to get underprivileged children into surfing, something that they have never before had the chance to do. The joy of surfing is free, it’s good to see that this give a chance to spread the love to those less fortunate, and as the Celibate Rifles song goes “All you need is a friend, and a beach to be free, talk about the tubes, and you can live, in the shade”. Participants will have a two-hour surf lesson and receive a $100 Surf Dive ‘N Ski participation pack with $5 from the $75 total cost per person going directly back into the Surf for Life Project. Nearly 50 Surfing Australia affiliated surf schools from Queensland right around to Western Australia will host a day full of fun under the sun for women of all ages, setting participants up to go surfing for life. Byron Bay, Lennox Heads, and Hastings Point are the venues in Northern NSW, on the Gold Coast the venues will be Broadbeach, Burleigh Heads, Currumbin Alley and Greenmount Beach. Surfing Australia CEO Andrew Stark said: “We’re very excited to be bringing the Surf Dive ‘N Ski Girls Go Surfing Day to the shores of Australia in 2018. This Surfing Australia female participation program was successful for 23 years and after a few years break, we are bringing this program backto-life for our surf school network and more importantly, to encourage female participation in our sport. Good stuff! Yeah girls, go hit the waves and get amongst it!

Local Sailors Hit Sail Paradise TWEED VALLEY Sailing Club were proud to be represented by 5 of their members crewing in the races at the Sail Paradise Regatta week at Southport yacht club this year. Experienced sailors Craig Foley from Tugun on Stormy Petrel V & Deborah Flannery from Bilambil on Shirley Valentine & John Pring on Wildflower 2 have been regularly sailing on the “big boats” during 2017. Their experience on dinghies on the Tweed River gives them a head start on other potential crew. Even with only a few months of sailing experience with TVSC Andrew Jaggers from Chillingham and Jessica Normand from Byron Bay found spots on KD Girl and Ramble Tamble respectively and had the time of their lives in the winds gusting to 20 plus knots. There were other TVSC connections though. One of the club’s inital start up members back in 2011 - Rob Westmorland

from Bilambil still sails his Laser dinghy for fun but now spends his spare time on some of the best yachts in Australia. His love for sailing has really paid off and he and John Pring have started 2018 on a real high. The yachts competed in 5 races over 4 days with TVSC’s best result being Wildflower II coming FIRST in their division and Stormy Petrel V coming in 2nd in the Crusiing Yacht Spinnaker division. I think we’re likely to see more TVSC members up at this great regatta in 2019. in the meantime they have a year to practice with competition no less fierce (but friendly!) on the Tweed with another club race with TVSC at Fingal Head this Sunday afternoon. If you too would like to have a taste of sailing contact the club by email tvscmail@ gmail.com or call club Commodore Bill Fenelon 0411 123 405 www.tvsc.com.au

SINCE OUR last notes there have been several announcements of significance for the Club and members. Our bid to host the 2019 and 2020 N.S.W. Country Titles which was supported by Tweed Shire Council has been successful. S.L.S. N.S.W. Sports Manager, Bob Pidgeon said the Club had mounted a compelling case during the bidding process. It will be 15 years since they were held in our F.N.C. Branch and at our beach. Both Junior and Senior Titles have been held at the same venue since 1999. Our Juniors hosted in 1977 and Seniors in 1992, 1997 and last in 2003. For the first time N.S.W. will be sending two teams to the annual inter-state championships. Each state is allowed to field a maximum of 12 competitors, 6 male

and 6 female. Cudgen has had Anthea Warne selected in the N.S.W. team and has 7 of the 12 country members named. Selected are Luke Chaffer, Claudia Crawford, Joshua Jones, Angus McPhail, Jayden Mandall, Hayley Smith, and Sarah Wilson. Scott McCartney is the coach and Jarrad Cain assistant. The carnival will be held at Moana, South Australia. The team has travelled to Adelaide on Wednesday for a precompetition camp and the championships will be held on Friday. Lily O’Sullivan who won all her events in the -14 year N.S.W. Inter-Branch and was successful in the recent Raby Bay Kozi Iron Woman Challenge has been selected in the N.S.W. -15 yr. Development Squad to compete in the Manly and Freshwater carnivals during the coming Australia Day

long weekend. She is the only country athlete selected. Life Saving Clubs will each receive a $5,000 boost from the Australian Government to help reduce drownings and near deaths. It will assist the Nations 311 Surf Life Saving Clubs to buy new rescue equipment as well as first aid and medical supplies.

TIPS FROM THE RANGE

School holiday

with Graeme Trew

COURSE MANAGEMENT This is an area that is often overlooked. I take golfers on course for sessions regularly, and I show them how easy it is to reduce scores by having a plan before we just go and pull the driver out. Things we plan out are • Is driver the right club and which is the worst side of the hole to be, for example if the out of bounds is left then we will move to the left side of the tee and open up the right side of the fairway some more. • Maybe if you have a( handicap) shot or 2 on the hole then use a 3 wood from the tee and play the hole as a par five instead of trying to bash the ball so that you can reach in 2 shots, only to find that you completely mess the hole up and wipe it. • Maybe playing away from the hole instead of firing at the flag on eavery shot is a smarter way to play and helps to reduce your score. • Or learning to use a chip and run shot from within 30 meters of the green, instead of thinning your pitch shot across the green.
