Power Independence with Solar Batteries

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

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

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

24 Hour Solar Power

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

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

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

888

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

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

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

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

The Truth About the

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

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

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

REAL Cost of Solar Batteries...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NSW Solar bonus scheme ends this year!

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

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

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

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

“The change in orientation will also create more beachfront sites.”

The redevelopment will transform the surrounding area into a central open space park with steps down to the beach, BBQ areas, park benches, as well as a community stage, which introduces countless opportunities for community events such as annual Christmas carols.

“The potential of this community precinct is huge,” Mr Illingworth said.

“I am very passionate about giving back to the community and improving the area in which the parks are located, which is why we, Tweed Coast Holiday Parks, are contributing $7.5m to the funding of this project.”

An update of the foreshore will see the introduction of a rock wall to protect the coastline which comes after an erosion event six years ago which resulted in the loss of eight park cabins.

A boardwalk will also be implemented along the beachfront, in between the rock wall and the park, creating a leisurely space for people to wander and take in the picturesque beachfront views.

The community area aims to bring people together and, according to Mr Illingworth, local businesses can expect a boost in customer engagement as a result.

Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park will close temporarily during the upgrade and park management are liaising with the remaining long-term site holders to assist their move out of the park by 30 January.

“The holiday park is an iconic part of Kingscliff and this upgrade will ensure it can continue to be a high-quality destination for years to come,” Mr Illingworth said.

“We have many valued occupants and we have been liaising with them for a number of years to keep them informed about the upgrade, which is necessary for the holiday park’s ongoing viability and to accommodate the community’s desire for a neighbouring central park.”

Fencing will be erected around the entire foreshore revitalisation site from February 1, onstruction work is scheduled to start on February 13, beginning with Stage 1 to construct the sea wall.

Council and the contractors are implementing a number of measures to minimise the effects of dust and other impacts on residents and businesses throughout the construction period.

Council’s Director Community and Natural Resources, Tracey Stinson, said “We will be meeting personally with business operators and residents during the coming days to talk about truck movements and other matters involved with the project.”

Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park will close on January 30 and will remain closed for a approximately 18 months.

VISITORS TO the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park are already lining up to book a site at the new park after the iconic site closes on Monday, January 30, for redevelopment.

The project is expected to take 18 months to complete and will reopen with a total of 61 sites down from 176.

The planned redevelopment came as erosion mapping along the coastline of Kingscliff revealed the park was at serious risk of being washed away and Tweed Shire Council, with assistance from Federal funding, moved quickly to ensure the land remains stable.

Tweed Coast Holiday Parks in partnership with Tweed Shire Council announced the $20 million redevelopment of the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park and surrounding area into a community open space.

The redevelopment is a three-stage project, which will construct a more permanent seawall, upgrade and reduce the size of the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park and construct a new Kingscliff Central Park and will result in the park size being reduced by a third.

Tweed Shire Council said that reducing the size of the park would not result in reduced visitor numbers.

“The number of sites will be reduced from 176 to 61.

However, the holiday park changes - including the removal of a large number of long-term 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 said.

Current Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park site managers Ellie and Richard Harris said they were saddened to see their positions go alongside five hardworking staff.

“It’s such a shame, especially for our five staff members who were contracted in and have done an amazing job,” Mrs Harris said.

“Fortunately, one of the contractors has already found another job and the others have received great references from us to help them find something as soon as possible.”

Mrs Harris said several long-term visitors to Kingscliff had already made enquires to book a future site, with bookings likely to open later this year.

“There’s been a lot of interest,” she said.

“But it looks like Council will commence an online booking service, so it’s best to keep an eye out on the website and I believe visitors can also book two years in advance.”

The decision by Tweed Coast Holiday Park’s Unit Coordinator Andrew Illingworth to develop the park comes after a change in demand of people holidaying in the town, including a rise in the region’s demand for caravan spaces.

“The semi-permanent vans will be removed to make way for the redevelopment”, Mr Illingworth said.

“We will be changing the entire orientation of the park including moving the entrance to the north end of the park and away from the town centre, which will ease congestion.

A big thanks to Council

It was one of those mornings where things were going awry. Then came the final straw, as I headed for the entrance of the Murwillumbah Farmers Markets. I was wrestling with my shopping bags and from my arms, fell my full purse. I watched it plummet (in a kind of slow motion) through a metal grate and into a stormwater drain. “Oh no!”

I cried out, standing frozen over the deep murky water. My wallet (and everything in it) was gone, and all that remained were bubbles rising to the surface, my heart sinking with it.

An observant market-goer stopped to see if I was okay. She offered me money, at least for a coffee, aware I was holding back tears. I couldn’t stomach a coffee, but took her advice to contact the Tweed Shire Council.

Still stunned at the chances of my wallet dropping directly into a drain, I made the call. Within an hour and a half the drenched purse was back in my hands, soggy, but intact. Nyree and Linda on the phones contacted Rohan and Steve who fished out the submerged purse and delivered it to my door. What a morning! My deep gratitude and heartfelt thanks to these five strangers for their swift response and genuine care.

Community supports Men’s Shed at Black Rocks

Gre at l e t t er f ro m PADM S Secretary John Wells (TVW 19 Jan). It will be interesting to see if it generates any response from Cr Cooper, the Mayor or the other two Councillors against approving the license for BR. It is really heartening that there is fantastic support in the community for the Men’s Shed at BR. Facebook is being inundated with positive comments, we have thousands of signatures on our petition, and one only has to walk into a shop or local establishment wearing the PADMS shirt, and the conversation quickly gets around

to how much people are disgusted with council and a very small band of citizens who are anti BR Men’s Shed. That’s another story though which no doubt will be played out at the next council election.

If Mr Norris (TVW 19 Jan) had his way the PADMS would be located out of town at Barry Sheppard oval situated north of Hastings Point, if it was indeed an option. Wrong again Mr Norris. Yes, we are presently located in a small demountable classroom designed for children, and we are forever grateful for the generosity of the Pottsville Primary School. However, contrary to what Mr Norris says, members are very very concerned with safety issues.

A recent photo taken with 22 of our members present reflects the cramped situation we are faced with. Lo and behold if all 37 members attend at once. There has been a very vocal call from Pottsville residents especially in Black Rocks to reclaim their sports field and put an end to the farcical and expensive push to revegetate it.

PADMS members in general will wholeheartedly support such a rally.

We are under no misconception that our temporary tenure at the Primary School might be taken away anytime the Education Dept decides to relocate the demountable. This will not deter our fabulous dedicated members who meet twice weekly for all the reasons Men’s Sheds exist. Unfortunately the community will be the ones who miss out, as we won’t be able to undertake the many projects we undertake on their behalf. Hang in their guys, people power is our strength.

Craig Buttfield, Member PADMS

Are white males holding back progress

Parliament is mainly made up of white males. (Most women, with the notable exception of Linda Burney, have had to grow penises to achieve any influence).

It is white males who have, throughout history, possessed a mindset of droit (A legal right, usually made law by those it benefits).

From the mediaeval droit de seigneur to deflower virgins on landed estates; feudal lords claiming ownership of “their” serfs; colonial “masters” wresting land, livelihood and dignity from Indigenous people; white importation, exploitation and torture of black slaves; the arbitrary “pressing” of the poor and lower classes to serve as “able seamen”; the conscription of innocent twenty year olds to fight in Vietnam. From all this, and more, to the horrors against

women, from rape in forced, coerced, or even happily accepted marriage (there being, historically, very little option) to refusal of safe abortion.

It seems the same attitude of droit is now well established in our current political system. Already better paid than most workers, our elected representatives feel they have the right to exploit tax payers’ money in their pursuit of the high life. Meanwhile, thousands of disadvantaged families, many of whom may well have contributed h i g h t a x d o l l a r s b e fo re t h e downturn of agriculture, the end of the mining boom and the GFC (largely created by rich men playing with other people’s money) have been heartlessly slugged with false accusations of debt. Strangely, (you can’t make this stuff up) partly by a man named “Christian”.

Residents encouraged to use Recovery Centre

Members of Tweed Climate Action Now (TweedCAN) were pleased to see your report of 12 January 2017 regarding the event at the Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre, where a grant was announced of $70,250.00 from the NSW Government to assist the Tweed Shire Council and North East Waste to improve the facilities.

TweedCAN congratulates all those concerned in the developments taking place and urge fellow residents to make good use of the expanded facilities, as Tweed residents can now drop off for free many items that, through appropriate management, will reduce toxic waste and increase the range of items that can be recycled.

TweedCAN understands that, in addition to the recycling that will take place, landfill is also being tapped to capture methane and used for power generation. As methane has a high impact as a greenhouse gas, this significant step taken by the Tweed will help reduce emissions leading to Global Warming and the more extreme weather events we are already experiencing, as well as developing a local source of power.

Celebrate humanity this Australia Day

Each year on Australia Day, Australians come together to celebrate living and being part of this nation, a multicultural nation, a nation expanding and thriving on accepting people of all different races, cultures and backgrounds.

However, this year I am asking you

The Tweed’s

Best Kept Secret!

FLOWERING

NOW! OPEN AUSTRALIA DAY AND THIS WEEKEND

to look at multiculturalism from a different angle.

While multiculturalism describes the values and beliefs we hold close, this term can be divisive in nature.

Multiculturalism recognises the differences in background, skin colour and lifestyle and asks us to accept them.

Instead of multiculturalism, a term which focuses on the differences of our country and our people, I implore you to focus more on a common humanity. We all have this, yet no one celebrates what we have in common, we instead focus on our differences.

The key to acceptance and harmony is both; finding similarities, and accepting differences.

Our country is diverse, and we should celebrate that. But we should celebrate not just the diversity of our friends, family and neighbours; we should celebrate our common humanity.

Australia Day is a time to focus on our common humanity, but like many of my other messages we need to continue to adopt this approach in our everyday lives. Australia will continue to develop, our people becoming more diverse and our cultures intertwining. It is up to you to develop with it.

Father Chris Riley, CEO and Founder of Youth Off The Streets

Councillors are consulting community

I refer to the editorial in TVW 8/12/2016 (p22) in relation to the 234 submissions received for a men’s shed licence at Black Rocks, Deputy Mayor Cherry said: “It is not correct to state that most of the submissions supported the move to Black Rocks – many submissions simply supported the Men’s Shed in general.” This is hardly representative of ‘the overwhelming majority’.

Over 130,000 people have signed an online petition against a Men’s Shed at Black Rocks because they have listened to the world-renowned koala expert who says that in his opinion there is strong likelihood of significant impact on the koalas if an industrial-like facility proceeds only 20m from primary koala habitat in the middle of a koala corridor where koalas are listed as endangered.

Councillors only had half a day prior to the 27/10/2016 Council meeting to consider the 409 submissions received at the end of the public exhibition period.

According to Council policy a late item must only be accepted if it is of such great urgency that it cannot wait until the next agenda. Cr Milne deferred the licence as she believed

there was no great urgency to discuss the matter and more time was needed to consider the submissions.

Cr Cooper and the other Councillors have not withdrawn support for men’s shed projects, which have been ongoing over that last 2 years at their current temporary site at the Pottsville Primary School. Because of their commitment to community consultation, they are pursuing a permanent site which the majority of the community supports.

Black Rocks not an ideal site

I have been watching and reading about the ‘Pottsville Men’s Shed’ debacle for a very long time and decided to travel with a friend to see the proposed sites of Black Rocks Sports Ground and Lot 3 Centennial Drive in Pottsville.

As we drove through the elaborate security gates at BR, entered the remote and isolated sports ground we quickly understood why this area should be retained and restored into a wildlife corridor in order to protect and encourage the survival of the remaining koalas which inhabit this delicate area. We could not understand why the Men’s Shed group would even consider this site due to remoteness, isolation, security risks, no parking and worst of all the semi-industrial nature of the proposal within the boundaries of a threatened colony of koalas and the only natural osprey nest in the whole Tweed coast.

We then visited the proposed site at Centennial Drive Pottsville.

It became very much a ‘no brain’ exercise, this site would be perfect.

Central to Pottsville, close to existing and supporting infrastructure, the SES, Rural Fire Services and across the road from the Bowls Club (perfect). The existing, temporary Men’s Shed is about 100 metres away at the Primary School.

The outcome and decision from our excursion would be the most sensible, practical, less costly, secure and non-threatening site is at Lot 3 Centennial Drive Pottsville. The Black Rocks Sports field should be re-vegetated and protected for the sake of all endangered species and the enjoyment of the people. The Men’s Shed is a great concept and service to all concerned and has a lot of community support, just consider the consequences of the location.

Sludge not sewage at Cabarita, says Council A BROWN SLUDGE that washed up at South Cabarita Beach on Sunday, January 22, raised concerns with several residents who were worried it was sewage.

Several residents contacted The Weekly on Monday with images of the brown sludge which one resident said had a “terrible odour”.

“It had a foul stench and although I’m not entirely sure, it seems like sewage,” the resident, who preferred not to be named, said.

The Weekly followed up with Tweed Shire Council who said the sludge was “not sewage”.

“This is not sewage. Tweed Shire Council has had no reports of any sewer overflows in the area,” a Council spokesperson said.

“The photographs show a brown substance not consistent with effluent from Council’s dune system, which is treated and clear.

“Council checks its dune system every week and from the last inspection it was working as designed.

“Currently there is an algal bloom (brown algae – commonly referred to as ‘cornflakes’) along the Tweed Coast.

“Algal blooms can form big masses in the nearshore area and strand on the beach, where they decompose.”

While the algal bloom is deemed safe for swimmers, residents are being asked to check the Regional Algal Coordinating Committees through the NSW Office of Water for health warning.

“The responsibility lays with the NSW Office of Water (within the DPI),” she said.

“If an algal bloom has potential to harm people’s health, the Regional Algal Coordinating Committees (RACCs) will post warnings.”

The NSW Office of Water has no current warnings in place for the Tweed Coast.

According to Healthy Waterways, brown algae, (Phylum Phaeophyta) are brown seaweeds that contain the brown pigment, fucoxanthin, as well as chlorophyll and vary in form from small filaments to tubes to large leathery kelps several metres in length.

Large brown algae form complex communities on rocky coasts worldwide including Sargassum communities which are found locally.

Powelly’s long road to recovery after head injury TWEED COAST local Steve Powell (pictured) is on the road to recovery after he suffered major head injuries during late December 2016.

While the circumstances surrounding Mr Powell’s head injury are under investigation by police, Steve is said to be up and mobile and eager to get back to his former self.

“To all of Steve’s friends and well-wishers. It’s been four weeks now since the incident that left Steve with significant head injuries and brain trauma, in that time he has surprised us all with his fight for life and sheer desire to be himself again,” his parents Tim and Suzanne said.

“The good news is he is up and mobile (all be it too mobile) and making steady progress with his fine and gross motor skills improving every day but he has an enormous path ahead of him to get back to his previous best.

“His brain injury requires intensive rehabilitation and rest, he is no longer in the same hospital and is now a lot closer to home as he begins the next phase of his recovery.

“We want to thank you all for your kind thoughts, prayers and generous support of Steve and want you to know that in between arguing with us all he is heading in the right direction.

“There is no exact timeframe for his recovery nor when he will be able to return home but rest assured we will keep you updated.”

For those wanting to make a contribution, the Charity Cup which is on this Saturday at Cabarita, is holding a fundraiser for Powelly.

A “Lucky 100 Board” is currently on display at the Cabarita Beach Bar until Friday January 27 where only 100 tickets are sold with ten prizes to be won.

Tickets cost $50 and prizes include a surfboard signed by Mick Fanning, gym membership at Xcell and dinner for two at Paper Daisy.

The raffle will be drawn on Saturday, January 28 at the Charity Cup Competition at the Tweed Coast Raiders playing field.

This week Meredith helped Bella and her family celebrate her 10th birthday at Wedgetail Retreat Community Hospice.

Bella’s dad, Travis Leech, is dying of lung cancer, but the photos show the family had a special day during challenging times.

The Chairman of the Australia Day awards invited Meredith to a glittering event at the Opera House on January 26 with Tina Arena and Guy Sebastian performing.

But Meredith graciously declined and will be celebrating locally and visiting palliative clients at the Wedgetail Retreat Community Hospice on the day.

Bella’s mum Linda Leech said, “Meredith,

the volunteers and nursing staff are taking wonderful care of Travis and all of us.

We don’t know what we would have done without them.

The unique thing about Wedgetail Retreat is that all of our family were welcome to stay with Travis. Gemma, Bella’s sister, made a birthday cake in the Wedgetail Retreat hospice kitchen with the help from Deb the volunteer chef.

It has made a sad time uplifting for us. It’s a very special place.”

Bella added that she loved her chocolate cake but was sad that her dad was sick.

Travis is one of hundreds of Northern Rivers and Gold Coast locals with a lifelimiting illness cared for by the charity every year.”

To help continue Meredith’s work readers can donate to Tweed Palliative Care online or phone (02) 6672 8459.

TWEED SHIRE Councillor and Liberal Party member James Owen said he was committed to working closely with the new NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet.

Cr Owen’s comments come as questions remain whether Premier Berejiklian will visit Wedgetail Retreat this year fulfilling a scheduled trip that former Premier Mike Baird had locked in for February 2017.

“Gladys will make an outstanding Premier - she’s smart, hardworking, down to earth and incredibly genuine in her desire to work for everyone across our state,” Cr Owen said.

Councillor Owen met with both the new Premier and Treasurer in Sydney last year and said Mrs Berejiklian was supportive of his run for Council.

“When I first told Gladys (who was Treasurer at the time), that I was running for Tweed Shire Council she was very supportive. The Premier is well aware of the Tweed and the enormous opportunities our region presents.

“I also caught up with Dominic (then Minister for Finance, Services and Property) just before Christmas and he was equally positive about Tweed and looking forward to working with me to bring opportunity and positive growth to the region.

“I’m particularly pleased that The Premier has immediately stated her intention to ensure every corner of NSW gets its fair share and will particularly focus on local infrastructure, housing affordability, economic growth and job creation as her

top priorities.

“I look forward to working with the Berijiklian Government to continue securing State Government support and investment throughout the Tweed.”

Councillor Owen acknowledged the efforts of Mike Baird but said even greater focus is needed on our regions.

“The Tweed economy is stagnating and we need to work closely with the State Government to deliver positive environmental, economic, financial, infrastructure and lifestyle outcomes for our residents.”

“During the campaign, I said I would be a loud voice to State and Federal Governments for the Tweed community and once the new cabinet is confirmed I will reach out to The Premier, Treasurer and the other ministers in the Berejiklian Government to continue conversations about how we can achieve this.”

“I’d like to put a call out to anyone in Tweed Shire who is interested in getting involved in shaping the future of Tweed to get in touch with me and share their thoughts and ideas.”

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you think Gladys will turn NSW around?

Tweed’s two Order of Australia Medal recipients named FOR HIS remarkable achievements in spreading the joys of art around the world, Tweed local Graeme Stevenson has been named as an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) recipient.

Mr Stevenson is one of only two Tweed OAM recipient this year and receives the award for his work TV and show Put Some Colour In Your Life, which has achieve global recognition for its ability to engage new and current artist.

Also joining Mr Stevenson is Aileen White of Cabarita, for her service to the community through charitable organisations.

Mr Stevenson (pictured below) takes film crews and viewers inside the creative process of people’s design spaces to witness the creation of their art firsthand and to develop viewers’ own techniques.

“Our current projects are many and ongoing,” Mr Stevenson told The Weekly several weeks ago and while on a rare visit home from the US. “We are getting ready to head off to New Zealand next week to film again over there, North Island, we were actually where the earthquake was 12 months ago, so lucky we weren’t there this trip. I am currently looking for another

manager to come on board as the work load is getting very busy these days.

“So there is not one project there are several going at the same time.”

Mr Stevenson said he loved to come home to the Tweed and this last trip to the US was his 58th.

“Remembering I lived over there for many years,” he said.

“I have lived in the area on and off for 40 years but have lived in another five countries in that time as well.

“When you see as much of the world as I have you get to understand how special a place we have here.

“To sit in LA traffic 16 lanes of cars and feel the temperature outside reach 48C in the middle of summer and then come home to this, I think you know what I mean.”

He said was hoping to film more around the Northern Rivers and Queensland.

“We will be filming some folks in the area, Byron, Brisbane for the series, but there is no one directly in the Murwillumbah area, we never really got much response from the region at all but of course from everywhere else it is amazing,” he said.

“I think there is an old saying about being a profit in your own town.”

Sea life testing starts around Gold Coast Airport Cobaki SEAFOOD TESTS are being carried out this week around the Gold Coast Airport to determine whether any contamination has affected sea life and from firefighting foam.

The tests are being carried out by Airservices Australia who will sample seafood in the Cobaki Broadwater adjacent to the Gold Coast Airport.

The project is focused on examining if there is any potential historical per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination affecting local sea species.

Airservices made the announcement on Tuesday, January 24, and said the work follows a preliminary site investigation conducted at Gold Coast Airport in July 2016, which showed that although low levels of PFOS and PFOA were detected at the airport boundary in soil and groundwater samples, surface water samples taken from the Cobaki Broadwater were below the detection limit for PFAS, were not detected.

Airservices is conducting the seafood sampling program to better understand if there is any impact which could be attributed to the historical use of PFAS containing firefighting foam.

The sampling which started on Tuesday, January 24, takes several days and will investigate sediment, surface water and seafood species within the Cobaki Broadwater area, adjacent to the airport.

The sampling will include five sediment samples, five surface water samples and collection of six seafood species for testing.

Independent environmental consultant, GHD Pty Ltd will manage the project in consultation with NSW Environment Protection Authority and Department of Primary Industries – Fisheries.

Airservices will share the results, which are expected to be available from March, with relevant Commonwealth and State environmental and health regulators and Gold Coast Airport Pty Ltd as part of our ongoing work with these stakeholders in taking a risk-based approach to responsibly managing PFAS concerns at the Gold Coast Airport.

Airservices will then coordinate with relevant Commonwealth and state agencies to consider the most appropriate approach to keeping the community informed.

Airservices changed to another approved fire fighting foam called Ansulite in 2003 that was understood to not contain PFOS or PFOA. It was later found to contain trace amounts of both these chemicals.

Rowlands Creek Road applicant speaks after town meeting EXCLUSIVE REPORT

ROWLANDS CREEK Road resident and former NSW State Minister Jack Hallam has spoken for the first time publicly about a development application to extract 24 megalitres of water from his licensed bore and transport it via trucks.

The application, which was lodged with Tweed Shire Council in late 2016, has led to widespread community debate with several questions raised around truck movements and water security.

Mr Hallam spoke to The Weekly on Tuesday and said he was aware of many of the concerns of residents and he intended to address these “individually and in a professional manner”.

Mr Hallam is working in conjunction with Pure Water, a water bottling company based in Yatala with (estimated) 65 employees, who is eager to bottle his bore water for human consumption.

“The water here is among some of the best in the world and that’s why companies are looking to it for human consumption,” he said.

Mr Hallam said he believed Tweed Shire Mayor Katie Milne and the Greens appear to have an “agenda to close down water extraction operations across the Tweed”.

“There appears to be a much broader political agenda based on what I’ve read and heard from the Greens to close down water extraction across the Tweed Shire,” he said.

“I have had a licence on this property for eight years and it is within my rights to make this application.

“I would like to also acknowledge those concerns regarding truck movements along Rowlands Creek Road and assure residents that I take their concerns seriously and each of these will be addressed in the most professional manner possible.”

Mr Hallam said he was open to restricting

the three-daily truck movements (applied for) to not run within certain times including with school buses.

“I’m sure the timing could be altered to not interfere with local traffic flow and I’d like to add that these trucks are only on Rowlands Creek Road for about five minutes each way,” he said.

Mr Hallam said he wanted to emphasise that if his water extraction application was to have a detrimental impact on the environment then he would not have submitted an application.

“No, I wouldn’t do it if I thought there would be lasting damage to the environment or water security,” he said.

“I have undertaken extensive research of this area and the recharge of the groundwater is instant.

“As a former Agriculture Minister and lifelong farmer, I take water security seriously and I can assure residents this is a sustainable practice that will not impact the environment.”

Mr Hallam said he objected to the term “water mining” which he said was created to demonise legitimate water extraction operations for human consumption.

“This is not water mining, this is totally sustainable practice of water extraction where the refresh rates are instant,” he said.

Mr Hallam’s comments follow a town meeting to discuss several water extraction projects across the Tweed Valley, that took place at the Uki Hall on Thursday, January 19.

The meeting attracted more than 150 residents from Urliup Road, Rowlands Creek Road, Dungay Creek Road, Uki and Tweed Shire Councillors Ron Cooper, Cr Pryce Allsop, Deputy Mayor Cr Chris Cherry and former Councillor Gary Bagnall.

The meeting started with speakers Bruce Ray and Trevor White who outlined the development application at 350 Rowlands Creek Road to extract more than 24

megalitres from his property bore.

The speakers offered the microphone for questions and comments and residents were also encouraged to write letters and emails to Tweed Shire Council opposing the development application with the window to submit closing February 1.

Residents offered a range of passionate views from questions over road conditions on Dungay Creek Road and Urliup Road.

Terence Manning a local truck driver was an invited speaker on the night and has decades of trucking experience locally.

Mr Manning said the impacts on Rowlands Creek Road would be “significant” and questioned the road weight limits.

The meeting also attracted many residents with previous experiences including several from Urliup that shared their knowledge and discussed what they said was now known as “water mining”.

Jeremy of Uki said he found the recent submission to extract the water at Jack Hallam’s property “woeful” and questioned the future of Tweed’s water resources.

The development application to Council was also later questioned around boundary constraints at Mr Hallam’s property and in particular the impact from trucks on the local roads and the community.

“I also have strong concerns about there being no mention of Climate Change and the serious risk of losing a future water source,” he said.

Lucy at Dungay Creek Road, Dungay said she was shocked by the “systems turning water into a commodity”.

“If the water dries up these companies will not give a damn,” she said.

“Our road is facing seriously dangerous conditions and our groundwater is at risk.”

Noel Blair said he had concerns about water levels and whether NSW Water had accurate measurements to justify the extraction.

“There’s no metering and no way of knowing – we need more information and

knowledge before we take more,” he said.

The group agreed the community needed to: “fight like hell and don’t give up.”

Councillor Ron Cooper offered the room a reminder of the strong chance for the community to lose a case if taken to court.

“When I first started campaigning for the No High Rise group I got out there and found as many people as I could to sign a petition,” he said.

“This was the start and I’ve achieved more than 14,000 signatures and growing.”

Cr Cooper said this was the start of a way to leverage the State Government to bend to the will of the people.

“You need to get Thomas George and Geoff Provest to listen and that’s your way of circumventing the courts.”

Former Tweed Shire Councillor Gary Bagnall also offered the group advice including previous encounters with water extraction development applications.

“The previous council passed a motion allowing the extraction and bottling of water anywhere across the shire to return to the Tweed Valley which has opened up this opportunity,” he said.

“It was only Katie Milne and I who stood against the motion.”

Mr Bagnall also offered an answer to a difficult question regarding legal action should the application be denied by Tweed Shire Council.

“What if the recommendation was for approval by Council administration, would the recommendation be considered by the Land and Environment Court?”

“It could be considered and could make it more difficult to fight,” Mr Bagnall said.

Charity Cup organisers have hearts of gold Millions announced MORE THAN 20 touch football teams will compete for the ‘Charity Cup’ trophy at the iconic Charity Cup Touch Football Fundraising event at Cabarita this Saturday, January 28.

Tweed local Jacinta Platt told The Weekly that she felt honoured to be a part of the touch footy event and to be “married to one of the main organisers of the event”.

“My husband and a group of friends started this annual touch football competition five years ago, their efforts are incredibly selfless as they spend close to three months a year organising the yearly event,” she said.

“The guys put so much effort into the day including customizing all 200 plus players sports jerseys.

“All six male members of the committee range from ages 22 to 30 and have opened my eyes and my heart.

“They genuinely want to help others less fortunate then themselves and decided to make a day of it at the same time.”

Since starting the event organisers have raised $27,000 for more than 14 families in various situations.

“Families such as a local family with a two-year-old daughter requiring a liver transplant, a 19-year-old boy with a brain tumour, they also handed a check to a young female who had just lost her partner to suicide finding out the day she gave birth to her son,” Mrs Platt said.

“Each receiver is so deserving and humble in accepting their cheque and each charity cup member embarrassed to even be thanked, as they all literally just want to help.”

Mrs Platt encouraged locals to give this year to the worthy local cause.

“Please take a minute to read the

history of the event, where the funds raised go to, and how this group of young men are changing our community for the better,” she said.

“In order for the day to be successful we require generous donations of gift vouchers, cash or item prizes and or food items that can be sold, auctioned and given away as prizes to help raise funds that the committee donate to those less fortunate.

“This is a 100 per cent not for profit organisation with every cent raised being donated back.

“We ask you to have a read and if you

are in any way able to donate a prize, gift voucher, donate money or even attend the day to purchase food and drinks or raffles tickets or simply enjoy a great touch football competition, this would be greatly appreciated.”

The family fun day will include a jumping castle, face painting and loads of raffles, food and drinks at the Tweed Coast Raiders playing fields.

for new marine centre

MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest has announced a new multi-agency maritime operations facility is being planned for the Tweed as part of the NSW Government’s drive for improved regional efficiency.

Mr Provest said the State Government was providing around $3 million for a new building to replace the Roads and Maritime Services ageing demountable offices at River Terrace.

“The new purpose built facility is being planned to potentially accommodate other on water agencies including DPI Fisheries. This potential future colocation would ensure a collaborative and more efficient use of resources,” Mr Provest said.

“The building is being designed to meet the potential operational needs of all on-water agencies which carry out activities in the Tweed area from time to time.

“We are having ongoing conversations with other on-water compliance agencies such as Fisheries and NSW Police, Marine Area Command ensuring the final design is capable of meeting any agency’s potential future needs.

“The location of the building at River Terrace replaces an old demountable building and will allow more efficient access to the local waterways.

“Roads and Maritime is in the final stages of designing the facility before submitting a DA to Tweed Valley Council for the work which is expected to be completed around the second quarter of 2017. Roads and Maritime staff will be collocated with DPI Fisheries while the facility is built,” Mr Provest said.

Dr. Nedley, author of the books “Proof Positive” and “Depression: the Way Out,” will teach participants how to improve brain function, maximize IQ in children, increase energy, boost concentration, engage in healthy sleep habits, improve physical performance, and gain renewed hope. In addition to the essential information on lifestyle and diet, Nedley will also cover the benefits and risks of counseling and drug medications.

Ms. Redsell said this seminar is not only excellent for people who are depressed, but also for those who have family members or friends

who are depressed. It will focus on brain health and what a person can do to treat depression as well as the healthy lifestyle habits they can adopt to keep depression from ever happening; even for those with a genetic predisposition to mental illness.

Ms. Redsell said that those attending the sessions will learn how to establish and maintain a strong exercise program, understand depression, eliminate negative habits of body and mind, develop healthy eating patterns, and get more out of the day by enhancing brain function.

Participants will spend less time frustrated by stress, decrease the risk for many diseases, say goodbye to negative thinking, and understand the true power of positive thinking.

Cutting edge treatment for Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis NOW AVAILABLE in the Tweed!

OSTEOPOROSIS AND Osteoarthritis are two of the most common bone conditions we suffer from as we age. If you or a loved one has suffered the pain or disability from a fracture related to osteoporosis, or have pain due to Osteoarthritis you will know how serious a condition these can be.

Osteoporosis is a condition that results in a decrease in the density (strength and thickness) of our bones. The early signs of Osteoporosis, where there is mild decrease in bone density is called Osteopenia.

Bones are predominately made up of calcium and are constantly changing and remodelling throughout our lifespan.

Unfortunately, as we get older due to changes in hormones and the effects of ageing, we are more susceptible to decreases in our bone density and this can lead to Osteopenia and eventually Osteoporosis.

This happens more in women after menopause but can also affect men in the over 60 age group.

Some people are more susceptible to decreases in bone density than others due to genetic factors or dietary deficiencies when they were younger.

This equates to a thinning of our bones and if it progresses can make us more susceptible to fractures, particularly in our hips, wrists and mid back region.

A decrease in bone density can also contribute to the development of Osteoarthritis.

Thinning of the bones can make the joints more susceptible to wear and tear and load, causing premature degeneration in our spines, hips and knee joints.

Dietary changes, supplement use and pharmaceutical drugs can slow this deterioration in our bones, but until now there has been very little available to reverse these changes.

Recently groundbreaking research has emerged from Griffith University on the Gold Coast that has achieved exciting results using a bone

targeting exercise regime.

Run through the allied health department at Griffith University the trial achieved up to 8 per cent INCREASE in bone density in the spine and 4 per cent INCREASE in hip bone density.

This is one of the first interventions found to actually reverse the changes caused by Osteopenia and Osteoporosis.

The importance of this cannot be overstated as it can mean the difference between suffering a life changing fracture following a fall or recovering without incident.

Hip fractures are one of the leading causes of early loss of mobility and early deterioration.

If you have had a friend or relative who has suffered a hip fracture you will know how debilitating this can be, so any intervention that can prevent this from happening is invaluable.

Anyone over 50 is at risk of developing Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis so the preventative effects of the regime will be imperative in treating and preventing the effects of ageing on your bone health.

Our local lifesavers among Australia’s best CABARITA BEACH Surf Lifesaving Club Director Kyle Beattie has heaped praise on local lifesavers who took part in a search operation for a potential missing person on Sunday, January 20.

Mr Beattie said lifesavers from Cabarita, Cudgen, Salt and Brunswick worked with Tweed Police and the Westpac Lifesaver Helicopter to search for the missing man feared drowned.

Fortunately, the rescue crews called off the search after no one was found and the callout was later seen as a false alarm.

“I’d like to take a second to highlight and thank the hard work and dedication of the lifesavers who took part in the search for a potentially missing person on Sunday,” Mr Beattie said.

“Thankfully, the search has now concluded with no loss of life or persons missing.

“The level of professionalism shown by a large group of volunteer lifesavers to conduct the search was something I am immensely proud of.

“Those two hours, when these volunteers dropped everything (and in some cases, were excused from work, thank you Pandanus Cafe for your continued support of lifesaving at Cabarita), reflected many more hours behind

the scenes training and building capability between clubs.

“IRB Crews and Drivers spend countless hours training to get their award, and countless more hours fine tuning skills.

“The IRB (Inflatable Rescue Boat) Drivers and Crew present on Sunday took part in ALBERT Training (Australian Lifesaving Boat Emergency Rescue Training) during the off season, where they spent considerable time practicing inter-club, multi-craft search patterns.

“I promise, it’s not as easy as it looks! The clean, coordinated search lines they easily deployed under stress, curving around the headland, with a helicopter hovering overhead, when it mattered most on Sunday is a credit to this off-season training. Well done all.

“It was only two hours, and thankfully we didn’t have to pull anyone out of the water, but in those two hours everyone involved from Cabarita and the broader lifesaving community demonstrated the very best of surf lifesaving, putting much hard work behind the scenes into action, undertaking a very well executed emergency response and search.

“Unfortunately, these sort of searches and incident responses are not rare, and all around Tweed Heads and Australia, lifesavers go over and above the call of duty on regular occasions.”

A sad farewell to Samba Blisstas star

A FUNERAL service for the much-loved Paul Barrett (pictured) who passed away on Friday, January 13, will take place at the Cabarita Beach Hotel on Saturday, February 4.

Paul was the founder and lead drummer of the popular Tweed drumming group the Samba Blisstas and had wowed audiences since its formation in 2003.

Tributes have flowed on social media from local creative and music groups and the wider community.

Paul Barrett’s interest in Brazilian samba street percussion goes back to the 90s, when he led Freo Samba in Western Australia.

Freo Samba was a colourful part of Fremantle’s culture and performed at many events during its seven-year history including the Fremantle Festival, Buskers Festival, Latino Festival, and several Perth Glory matches.

Paul founded the Samba Blisstas in 2003, who have performed at many local festivals including the Banana Festival and NYE events.

Barrett had been battling a cardiac condition since November.

SIDE NOTE: The Samba Blisstas are due to perform at The Rails in Byron Bay on January 26 from 4pm.

Wintersun 2.0 coming to Murwillumbah in June WINTERSUN HAS been confirm for Murwillumbah on June 2-5 and it could be here to stay according to organisers Aces and Eights Event Management.

The Weekly recently caught up with Wintersun 2.0 organiser Steve Bowman who said the event was set to be a future benchmark for future events.

“Wintersun 2.0 is the culmination of ideas that many car, motorcycle and music enthusiasts have had for quite some time. An event run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts (and also a spectacle for the public) that is enjoyable and includes all the aspects of the scene,” he said.

“Included will be the opportunity for entrants to drive/ride and enjoy their vehicles during the event, pin-ups and vintage clothing competition, art and Kulture display, trade stands and some great food.

“The name harks back to the old Wintersun festival in Coolangatta which had a great friendly and laid back atmosphere.

“There will be many differences between the old event and Wintersun 2.0 but that atmosphere is something we will strive to create.

“This 2017 event is a proof of concept.

As we move through the next few years we hope (with Council cooperation) to involve more of the Murwillumbah and surrounding community in a wide

variety of new events but all within the same theme.”

Mr Bowman said he has a strong desire to keep the event in the Tweed and heaped praise on the local communities.

“The Tweed is a beautiful area and everyone we’ve dealt with has been friendly and very supportive. I can see a long and prosperous future for the event and the area,” he said.

“We hope the event will run in Murwillumbah indefinitely. Dates for the first event are June 2 to June 5 and future events will be around the same time of year.”

Mr Bowman said his hopes the event will attract a range of different autos and people with favourable weather.

“Great weather and a good crowd.

More diversity and the expansion of the event into the streets Murwillumbah to enhance the economic benefit the local traders,” he said.

“All cars are welcome up to the 1978 cut-off,” he said.

“Later model classics are by invitation. We are expecting a large turnout of Hot Rods, Classics, Customs and Muscle cars and classic and modified motorcycles such as Cafe Racers, Bobbers and Classic Choppers.

Music will by a mix of Rockabilly, Blues, Country and Rock and Roll.”

For motoring enthusiasts, how can they get involved?

“If they have a pre-1978 vehicle bring it along. Entry forms will be available in the next couple of weeks via the web site and Facebook. This is a friendly family event so any car/ bike enthusiasts don’t currently own a classic vehicle are welcome to come along as spectators. Maybe they’ll get fired up to buy a classic and become a new entrant and part of the Wintersun 2.0 family for 2018.”

First Tweed Shire Council meeting set to be big one

Department of Planning and Environment’s support.

“Clarity is also required if the intent of the Notice of Motion is just for water bottling or for all commercial water extraction activity including agriculture.”

Councillors will also consider whether to participate in the Alliance for Gambling Reform and attend a briefing led by Reverend Tim Costello at the Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts in Sydney on Thursday, February 16, between 5.30pm and 7.30pm.

In the Council notes the Alliance advised that the Tweed Shire Council poker machines took $102,098,926 in the last financial year alone.

The Alliance highlighted that it was “not seeking to ban poker machines or gambling” – but wanted to instead advocate for reforms that prevent and minimise the damage gambling machines do to communities.

“I am aware that this request coincides with the February Council Meeting and I seek interest from any Councillors who may wish to attend,” the council notes read.

Meanwhile, Councillors will also decide whether to continue to pursue legal action against the developers of Kings Forest.

An extraordinary meeting took place on Tuesday, January 24, by Council to discuss the Kings Forest major project, including a proposed service centre.

The application has previously been refused by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment and is now the subject of an appeal by the proponent in the Land and Environment Court.

The meeting considered a motion from Mayor Katie Milne relating to Kings Forest major project Approval no MP08-0194 Modification No 3, that: • Council seeks urgent legal advice as to whether it is legally possible for Council to join in the current legal proceedings with the aim of defending the refusal of this development application on the grounds outlined in Council’s previous submission.

• If the legal advice is positive, that Council proceeds to urgently join these proceedings to defend this refusal.

Another big item for consideration was the announcement that Tweed Shire Council could be embracing social media this years.

If approved, Council could soon have a dedicated Facebook page, Twitter account, Instagram and LinkedIn. Councillors will also consider a range of motions for continuation or permenant and temporary markets as well as updates on legal action.

These and many other motions will be put up for a vote next week for the first Ordinary and Planning meetings on Thursday, February 2.

You could have a balance or vestibular disorder

BALANCE is easily taken for granted.

However when the fragile vestibular organs of the inner ear and brain are damaged by illness or injury, anyone can lose their ability to balance.

T

o achieve good physical balance, we rely on our brain, eyes, innerear, and musculoskeletal system to work in harmony.

Balance disorders are typically under diagnosed and undertreated.

More than 1/3 of adults aged 40 years and older experience vestibular dysfunction at some point in their lives.

Common symptoms of vestibular disorders include vertigo and dizziness. Vertigo is a spinning or whirling sensation, or an illusion of the self or world moving. Dizziness is a lightheaded, floating or rocking sensation. Poor balance, nausea, visual disturbances, headache, hearing loss, tinnitus, and pain or fullness in the ears can accompany vestibular disorders.

HOW CAN YOUR OSTEOPATH HELP? There are many causes of dizziness or vertigo. But most types of vestibular disorders can be diagnosed by means of a thorough medical history and clinical examination. The most common type of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), and once diagnosed is easily treated with repositioning manoeuvres, with a success rate of 90%.

Another type of vertigo encountered is Cervicogenic Vertigo, which is due to a dysfunction in the neck. Again once diagnosed, it can be easily treated with Osteopathic intervention.

Your Osteopath can diagnose most of the common types of vestibular disorders and can either treat the condition or refer on for further diagnosis and treatment.

TWEED SHIRE Councillors are gearing up for the first Ordinary Meeting on Thursday, February 2, at the Murwillumbah Council Chambers.

Among the hot ticket items includes a controversial notice of motion from Mayor Katie Milne to urgently instigate the processes for a planning proposal in regard to prohibiting commercial water extraction from “all rural zoned land in the Tweed Shire”.

The notice of motion follows a large community debate around water security and future water use, with calls from many locals to regulate or in some views halt water extraction across the Tweed Shire.

According to Council’s documentation, the proposal is to rescind Clause 7.15 of the Tweed LEP 2014, which came into effect on July 8, 2016, to remove the permissibility of water bottling facilities in the RU2 Rural Landscape zone.

“The LEP amendment originated and was funded by the Mountain Water Springwater Company (MWS); an established Tweed family business,” the report reads.

“The implications of the proposed prohibition on this land-use are likely to be far broader than those arising solely on MWS, as it will affect both current lawful businesses as well as landowners holding a current water access licence and who intend seeking development consent for a new business.

“On the spectrum of options for regulating land use, ‘prohibition’ marks the uttermost extent of undesirability for any given use; exempt development being at the opposite end with various regulatory pathways between the two.

“Ascertaining what level of regulation is appropriate in each situation therefore requires a full consideration of the facts and circumstances.

“As the circumstances surrounding the making of the permissibility in 2016 and proposed repeal of it 2017 are novel, and the impacts on those who had a legitimate expectation to act or have acted on the permissibility rule change remain to be fully tested, the proposed prohibition may expose Council, as with those landowners or businesses, to unnecessary and costly litigation.

“Council is evidently aware that landowners and businesses have relied on the 2016 regulatory rule change.

“It may be prudent therefore to allow adequate time for those persons or businesses to pursue their approvals as envisaged by the 2016 rule change and to close the loop on those who have not.

“This could be achieved through a different regulatory policy response, with the

STUDENTS FROM disadvantaged families in are being urged to apply for new scholarships worth $1,000 to support their education.

Nationals MP Thomas George said the FACS High School Scholarship program is open now to students in Year 10, 11 and 12 at a NSW high school or TAFE college.

“This is a wonderful initiative from the NSW Government to help students from struggling families get all the support they need to do well at school.

“Funds can be spent on expenses including textbooks and course fees, or practical supports such as child care and internet access,” Mr George said.

The program will award 240 applicants $1,000 to help with their studies. Twenty successful students will also be eligible to receive both a scholarship and mentoring.

“Previously this scheme was only available to HSC students living in social housing but we are expanding it,” Mr George said.

“Now students in social housing or on the waiting list, in Out of Home Care, receiving private rental assistance, or living in crisis accommodation, can apply.”

Mr George said another key benefit of the program is the chance for students to reapply each year, all the way through to the end of their tertiary studies.

“These scholarship had been a one-off but now students can apply year after year potentially for up to seven years if they successfully apply from high school onwards.

“Education is one of the most effective means of ensuring the cycle of disadvantage does not become intergenerational,” Mr George said.

“We have many families in region doing it tough and these funds will ensure kids are rewarded, no matter what their financial circumstances.”

Applications are open from 16 January 2017 and close on 24 February. Successful applicants will be notified in late May 2017.

Students are encouraged to apply online at www.facs.nsw.gov.au/education

Land values rise across Tweed Shire

LAND VALUES continue to increase across the Tweed according to the latest land value report released by the NSW Valuer on January 13.

The Tweed Shire land has been independently valued on behalf of the Valuer General, and reflect the property market on July 1, 2016.

Valuer General Mr Gilkes said when determining land values, property sales are the most important factor considered.

“Land values do not include the value of the home or improvements to the land,” he said.

From July 1, 2017 land values will also be a factor used to calculate the Emergency Services Property Levy (ESPL) which will replace the current levy on property insurance and help fund fire and emergency services across NSW. Landholders will receive a Notice of Valuation showing their land value before it is used by Council for rating and gives landholders time to consider their land value. Tweed Shire Council calculates rates based on the unimproved land value.

Landholders can find more information about their Notice of Valuation at www.valuergeneral.nsw.gov.au or by calling 1800 110 038. Landholders who are concerned about the land value recorded on their Notice of Valuation have 60 days to lodge an objection. The last date to object is printed on the Notice of Valuation.

Land values rise 20 per cent in two years

Valuers analysed 1,674 sales and from 2014 to 2016 the total value of all property in the Tweed Shire increased from $9,582,246,441 to $11,541,344,641, approximately 20.4 per cent.

According to the report, "The change reflects an increase in value of property which was experienced predominantly as a result of improved demand and capped/diminishing supply."

"The main factors influencing values in Tweed Shire in the present market are strong demand, reduced supply, temperate climate, natural beauty and appeal of the area,

Best performers Level density land at Kingscliff – 41% Koala Beach at Pottsville – 31% Seabreeze Estate at Pottsville – 31% to 33% Shirewide R1 zoned Land Density sites on Marine Parade Kingscliff – 43% Density sites in Seaside City – 210% Oceanfront Density Sites – 76% Larger Shire wide density sites – 31%.

Non beachfront land at Casuarina/Salt/Seaside City – 38% to 42%.

Tweed Head Southern Fringe Commercial – 39%.

proximity to South-East Queensland, substantially reduced transit times between the Tweed and Brisbane and proximity to the Coolangatta International Airport."

The majority of residential development has occurred in the north-eastern sector of the shire with the majority of recent development along the coast, between Pottsville and Kingscliff.

The report noted that Tweed Shire has the greatest number of dwelling approvals across the North Coast Region with 704 in total compared to the next closest number being 198 in Ballina.

Residential

Residential land values have shown a strong increase of 11.5 per cent over the past year due to increased demand and diminishing supply levels.

From July 1, 2015 slight to moderate (8 per cent to 25 per cent) increases in value were experienced in the majority of coastal residential localities including Tweed Heads, Banora Point, Casuarina, Salt, Kingscliff, Bogangar, Cabarita, Pottsville and Fingal Head.

Rare direct beachfront land at Cypress Avenue Cabarita Beach increased by 44 per cent in one year.

The value of average quality canal lots throughout the shire remained steady while canal frontage lots at Pottsville increased slightly.

Steady to slight value level increases were experienced in the majority of other non-coastal towns and villages.

Residential properties in new estates in Murwillumbah have generally remained steady due to an oversupply of land along with demand for flood liable residential properties in Murwillumbah.

Rural properties generally experienced steady value levels to slight increases in values throughout the year.

Commercial land

Commercial land values increased across the board due to limited supply.

There has been a limited number of sales with a total of 35 reliable sales since July 1, 2015 that were analysed.

Over the year to July 1, 2016 the total value of commercial land in Tweed Shire increased by approximately 10.8 per cent overall.

Values in Murwillumbah generally increased moderately (by approximately 12 per cent) while values in Tweed Heads and Tweed Heads South increased slightly to moderately (by approximately 2 per cent to 22 per cent, depending upon location and zone).

The value of B4 Mixed Use zoned land in Kingscliff increased moderately (by around 15 per cent) while B2 zoned land in Pottsville, Bogangar and Casuarina remained steady although the value of larger sites (around 1,000m² and greater) in Pottsville increased by around 20 per cent.

Industrial

Industrial land values have generally seen a moderate increase and can be attributed to the limited supply of industrial property in Tweed Heads South, Tweed Heads West, and Murwillumbah.

There were only eight reliable sales that occurred between

2015 and 2016 with values remaining steady (+/-2 per cent) or increasing slightly.

The Murwillumbah industrial estate performed well according to the report, "where value levels have again increased moderately (23 per cent) from 2015 to 2016, primarily due to being recognised as being of good value compared to the poorly located but more modern Industry Central Estate where values increase substantially (from a very low base) from 2014 to 2015."

Rural

"The majority of rural zoned land parcels, especially close to the coast, are purchased for home sites, therefore the value of rural land is predominantly driven by residential/home site based factors rather than rural based factors," the report reads.

"An exception to this is land suitable for Sugar Cane growing, although in recent years returns from Sugar Cane have been low and better located properties have been purchased as home sites rather than for genuine cane production."

Value levels generally increased slightly (6.7 per cent overall) from 1 July 2015 to 1 July 2016. The predominant factor influencing values was improved demand for home sites.

The value of sugar cane land increased moderately from 2015 to 2016, largely due to increases in the value of the home site element, with the majority of land suitable for sugar cane production being well located, close to Murwillumbah and with good access to the coast.

Rave reviews for Jacob Marley’s Taphouse Bar Tweed River Dredging to

AN EXCITING new Murwillumbah venue, Jacob Marley’s Taphouse Bar, is receiving rave reviews from locals with momentum gathering behind one of Valley’s newest entertainment venues.

Taphouse Bar, which is located at 13 Wharf Street, operator John White has re-thought the layout and created an amazing new venue for Murwillumbah and visitors to dance, drink and eat great food.

The restaurant and bar also has some big plans in the pipeline to introduce woodfired pizza delivery and continue to offer exciting new entertainment.

The venue opens from Tuesday to Sunday with a new menu and plenty of entertainment from Thursday to Sunday.

“We’re also getting a total of 36 craft beers on tap and offering some great food and great entertainment,” Mr White said.

The venue is nearing completion within the site, with new access from the main street and two free pool tables.

There’s also cheap nights for cocktails and a range of entertainment to entice couples, singles and everyone in between.

Current waitress Indigo Jaggers (pictured below) said she was looking forward to the venue being complete.

“It’s looking amazing and the changes have been really well received, there’s only a few things left to complete,” she said.

Mr White said the music was a mix of 60s to 80s and he has enlisted many local artists and entertainers to perform.

The Taphouse Bar will also host a 12 hour Aussie music tribute to Johnny O’Keef and Aussie rock today, Thursday January 26, as part of Australia Day (see advertisement right).

maintain safe channel

MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest has announced the entrance of the Tweed River will be dredged over the coming weeks to improve boating navigation for commercial and recreational vessels.

The dredging will complement the ongoing Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project and is part of a regular maintenance program for the area.

“In April last year the Department of Lands removed over 41,000 cubic metres of sand from the river entrance to improve access and ensure the safe passage of commercial and recreational boats to the area,” said Mr Provest.

“Now that sand has again moved back into the area naturally, some additional dredging is required to maintain a clear navigational channel.

“Around 20,000 cubic metres of sand will be removed by the Port Frederick, the floating dredge which has been used for previous dredging works, and will be deposited evenly at locations around Point Danger.”

Work will begin in mid- to late January 2017 and will continue for two weeks, weather permitting.

“The Tweed River entrance is used by a number of commercial operators and fishers as well as recreational boaters. The Government is committed to maintaining a safe and accessible channel for the community and will continue to monitor the area.”

The Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project is a joint initiative of the NSW and Queensland Governments with financial and other assistance being provided by City of Cold Coast Council and Tweed Shire Council.

For information on navigation restrictions while dredging operations are taking place visit NSW Roads and Maritime.

A UNITED KINGDOM

The issue of racial intolerance has been a recurrent topic in movies, where it most commonly represents the prejudice of white people towards people of different skin colors. A United Kingdom, starring David Oyelowo (Selma) and Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) tells a similar story but from a more complicated perspective, because it is about the relationship between a white woman and a black man who happens to be a prince.

The film depicts a colonial world at the brink of extinction and it is not accidental that the director of the film, Amma Asante (whose previous film Belle revolved around issues of race as well), is a British film-maker of African heritage.

76387

The movie is based on real events: in the 1940s, Prince Seretse Khama of Bechuanaland (later to become Botswana) shocked the world by marrying a white woman from London. It may be difficult for us to understand, so many years later and with a very different approach to marriage equality, how such a relationship would provoke a scandal, but in a world ruled by apartheid at the time their marriage threatened to undermine the dynamic of control by the white minority. The couple was ostracized, for different reasons, by both the white British government and by the black royal family in Bechuanaland.

THIS WEEK I’m talking to Kayelene Carruthers, a children’s performer who will be playing a special concert at the Tugun Progress Hall on February 4 to raise funds for the Mother’s Milk Bank.

Kayelene first started teaching singing at the age of 16.

When she was performing she would often have women approach her for singing lessons.

She figured out at a young age that there was something in her performance that gave others the idea they could have access to that themselves.

Over the years she did a lot of research and from no formal qualifications she went to University to study a double degree, majoring in Philosophy, and Creative Writing and doing electives in Visual arts, Psychology and Music Theory.

She didn’t study teaching because she realised that what she was doing was not just teaching but that it was about language. She focused her studies on Psychology and Philosophy and then the science of Neurology.

That equipped her to work with children, both the very gifted and most particularly the ones who were struggling with disability.

These children were responding in the same way, suggesting that there was something in the material itself that was connecting at a neurological level as well as emotionally.

It’s all about leading them to develop that neural connection that they are then able to use to do other things.

The special Music for Milk event will kick off with a concert by Kayelene & Co at 10.15am.

There will be time after for morning tea and for some fun activities such as ‘Make your own Pirate hat’, ‘Learn Some Dance Steps’, ‘Play the Late for School Blues’, ‘Do the Dinosaur Rock’ and more.

For a small donation, kids can have a professional photo

76298

Talking

taken with Kayelene or their favourite character from the company (the pirate is always a popular choice!)

The event will culminate in a ‘Pop Up Performance’, in which everyone who wants to play a part can join Kayelene & Co on stage for a fun-filled reprise of their favourite songs from the concert.

There will be costumes and simple props to share, and a few musical instruments provided, but children should bring along their own instrument if they have one.

The Kayelene & Co. CD will also be available to purchase, with all proceeds going directly to the Mothers Milk Bank.

The Mothers’ Milk Bank collects, screens, pasteurises and distributes donated human milk to Australian infants in need.

Family tickets are $20 with all proceeds going to the Mothers Milk Bank.

For more information about the Milk Bank phone 0413 727 545. Kayelene also has lessons available at Tweed Creative Studios in Murwillumbah phone (02) 6672 5556.

Fees or fines could deter stupid climbers of Wollumbin / Mt Warning Kilimanjaro, Mt Everest and many American mountains that are sacred to the local Indigenous people but are visited and climbed by tourists,” he said.

“The difference being the local people provide guides and reap the tourist dollar and as a result educate those who visit and generate an income.

“I for one wouldn’t begrudge paying a fee to climb a part of the mountain and be educated about the cultural significance of it.

“The ball is in their court on this one. P.S. I’ve never climbed Wollumbin, I would like to, but will wait for an invitation.”

Matthew Turner-Eylander of Stokers Siding said alternatives sites need to be promoted to encourage visitors to visit a range of different sites as well as Wollumbin.

“In response to the article on whether visitors should climb Mt Warning, my suggestion is a firm no,” he said.

“Wollumbin is a scared site to Indigenous cultures and should (be) respected enough that visitors choose not to climb. I was employed as a Tour Guide to Uluru for some time and learnt the value of not climbing that monolith.

“However, concerning the name, I’m happy to call it Mt Warning. I think the romantic idea of Capt Cook sailing up the East Coast and naming it as a warning to other sailors of the forthcoming Great Barrier Reef is beautiful, typical of Australia and links the significance of this region and its volcanic history to other massive formations of Australia.

“Further to the point, Uluru shall always retain the Settlers name of Ayers Rock because it is a big rock. Similarly, Wollumbin is a mountain, so we naturally give it a title with “Mt”. If we get hung up on the name “Wollumbin”, then should we not also promote the terribly full mouthful of a name as I understand it of “Wollumbini Momoli”?

“My main query of the management of Wollumbin National Park is what alternatives exist within the park for visitors to experience Wollumbin other than to climb? At Uluru, there is the fantastic cultural centre and 9.4km walk around the base that provides ample opportunity to educate oneself and take pictures that surpass what you can gain by climbing. Having not climbed Wollumbin, is there a shorter walk lower down the mountain to connect with geological and forest features?

“What hikes are on offer there? I suggest the construction of a circuit walk approx. 2-5km and one for serious walkers

ranging 7-14km that extends through Wollumbin National Park and links to nearby ranges, if the peak climb is ever to be closed. Incidentally, Mt Warning is not the first sight in Australia to receive sunlight of a morning.

“If you wish to gather this, book a ticket on the Spirit of Tasmania.”

Appeal for support from District Rescue Squad Meanwhile, the Tweed District Rescue Squad needs help with equipment shortages and is calling on the community to assist with purchasing new equipment to assist with rescue operations on the mountain.

“Tweed District Rescue Squad is seeking donations and assistance from local businesses to upgrade some of the crew’s specialised equipment used to assist rescue crews on the mountain,” a social media post reads.

“There’s the addition of two titanium stretchers, two new rescue trolleys and some long duration portable LED lighting would be very beneficial.

“During 2016 we responded to some 20 calls on the mountain and on three occasions had simultaneous rescues occurring or multiple casualties from the same incident.

“A ground rescue is very labour intensive and having two sets of the lightest and most suitable equipment available not only reduces fatigue on rescuers but reduces the amount of rescue personnel required to carry out rescue operations and assists with a smooth, safe recovery of injured patients.”

Interested in supporting TDRS send an email to tweedrescue@rescue.org.au.

TWEED RESIDENTS are again calling for fines or fees to be introduced to “stupid” climbers of Wollumbin / Mt Warning who require rescuing, after another pair of visitors failed to heed the warning signs and got themselves stuck at the summit on Friday, January 20.

The call comes after two bushwalkers decided to climb the six-hour round-trip summit hike in the late afternoon - only to find themselves surrounding by forecast heavy rain and lightning.

The pair got themselves caught at the top at about 9pm when the storm was at full force and it wasn’t until they attempted to climb down that they realised how stupid their decision had been.

The bushwalkers phoned Tweed Police and within an hour officers joined Tweed District Rescue Squad to hike the mountain and assist the climbers down in a rescue operation that took most of the night.

Although not all the specifics are known about the climbers and their experience on the summit, several locals have expressed their disappointment labelling their actions as “seriously stupid”.

“Reckless behaviour that’s ended up taking up the precious resources of Police and Rescue Services, Barb Tyler said on social media.

“Send them the bill so they don’t do it again.”

Others agreed with Ms Tyler’s comments including Eliane Ambroisine who said billing those who make poor judgement could remind others of the penalties.

“Send them the bill. Once word gets around that rescue comes at a price, we might see some improvement on the stupidity,” Ms Ambroisine said.

Ms Tyler said it would be “easy to add to the notice on the foot of the mountain with words to the effect: “People climbing after sunset, during storms and extreme weather will be charged full costs of any emergency services that may be called in for rescue services”.”

The recent death and injuries that have occurred on the mountain have also sparked a community debate around the cultural sensitivity of Wollumbin / Mt Warning.

Michael De Re wrote to The Weekly on Monday and said there were examples of overseas mountains that engage with Indigenous people to educate visitors.

“There are many examples around the world like Mt

Coca-Cola Amatil clears the record on water extraction

A MEDIA SPOKESPERSON for Coca-Cola Amatil, which is the bottling arm of the giant soft drink company, says the company is not involved in an application to extract water from Rowlands Creek Road.

The company was approached by The Weekly to confirm or deny its involvement in local water extraction and the spokesman said that although the company investigated water extraction options in the Tweed Shire several years ago, “the company chose to withdraw from the project”.

Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola Amatil was wrongly named by local media as being involved in the Tweed Shire water extraction projects.

“Coca-Cola Amatil is the bottler of ready-to-drink beverages in the Asia Pacific, including Coca-Cola,” the media spokesman said.

“To date we have no involvement with this proposed bore (350 Rowlands Creek Road) and have not discussed purchasing any water from it.”

The Coca-Cola Amatil spokesman said water sustainability is a major issue and one the company takes “extremely serious”.

“100 per cent of Coca-Cola Amatil’s water comes from long-term sustainable sources,” he said.

“Before purchasing water from any supply, we get an independent hydrogeological assessment and a Source Vulnerability Assessment which gives advice on quantitative, qualitative and community based risks associated with water withdrawals.

“We do not purchase water from any supply that cannot be shown to be sustainable in both the short and long term.

“We also work hard to return water to the environment. In 2015 we harvested and returned 1.27 million litres of rainwater, built 1700 water infiltration wells to recharge aquifers in water-stressed areas in Indonesia (where we are also a bottler), and saved 86 million litres by reducing water use in manufacturing here and in New Zealand.”

“Significant crowds are expected to celebrate were conducted using stolen credit cards at celebrate Australia Day safely

TWEED POLICE are urging members of the public to plan ahead to make Australia Day safe and fun for everyone across the community.

Millions of Australians will celebrate our national day with family and friends at events and parties throughout the state this Thursday (26 January 2017).

Police will launch Operation Goldsmith, a high-visibility policing strategy, involving officers from across NSW to ensure all Australians and their loved ones enjoy themselves this Australia Day. Acting Deputy Commissioner, Frank Mennilli, encouraged everyone to have a great time but do so in the true Australian spirit of mateship.

“Australia Day is more than just a public holiday – it’s about celebrating everything that’s great about being Australian. We want everyone to do so safely,” Acting Deputy Commissioner Mennilli said.

“With safety as our top priority, we will deploy additional officers on the ground, on the water and in the air, to provide a highly-visible and mobile policing response.

“Those planning to have a drink – know your limits and don’t carry on with foolish behaviour.

“Consider the consequences of your actions and think before you drink – alcohol impairs your judgement and can turn anyone into an offender or victim of crime,” Acting Deputy Commissioner Mennilli said.

Tweed/Byron Local Area Commander, Acting Superintendent Michael Dempsey said extra local police will be out and about as part of Operation Goldsmith, not only to deter

throughout the Command and while we want everyone to have a good time, we won’t tolerate behaviour that risks other people’s safety,” A/ Superintendent Dempsey said.

“Plan your day in advance – including how you’re getting home – and if you’re planning to drink, don’t get behind the wheel.

“Finally, anyone lucky enough to be going away for the long weekend is urged to take simple precautions to ensure their home is protected from thieves while they’re away,” A/ Supt Dempsey said.

Bowls Notes

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

with Judy Tuckey

The year’s calendar of Super Competitions about to commence this Sunday FATHER TIME appears to be rather impatient this new year as he seems to have January travelling at break neck speed to make space for a fast approaching February. Maybe the lack of competitive activities on the greens in recent weeks has created a false impression of the time zone. If that is the case, perhaps a quick cure is available to remedy the situation when one peruses the year’s calendars of super competitions and events to be presented by the men’s and women’s Clubs as well as the District Associations.

Beginning this weekend, Sunday 29 January heralds the first rounds of the District Men’s Championship Open and Reserve Grade Triples at Condong and Seniors at Mullumbimby. Finals in all three principles will be conducted at Condong B.C. 1 p.m. Sunday 5 February. Nominations for the T.B.D.B.A. Championship Fours close 9 February with play to commence 19 February. Please check your Club notice boards for details. Byron Bay M.B.C. will be conducting their ever popular Valentine Open Pairs on Sunday 12 February.

For the ladies, Kingscliff W.B.C has scheduled their annual Kingfisher Triples to be played Monday 13 February, an enjoyable event on the calendar that is a must. With the District Women’s pennant season set to commence 7 March, the comp to enter for a pre-pennant warm up would have to be Pottsville’s Pelican Fours set down for Monday 20 February.

Always a highly competitive event to sharpen your skills.

See you on the greens.

Good bowling everyone.

Burleigh Pro Starts Today THE WORLD Surf League (WSL) Qualifying Series (QS) has returned to one of the world’s most iconic waves at Burleigh Heads from today with the Burleigh Pro running from today all the way through the Australia Day weekend.

The big news is the comeback lad, current Men’s WSL Championship Tour athlete, Bede Durbidge will now be competing in the Flight Centre Burleigh Pro. After taking almost a full year off his competitive agenda due to a significant injury at the Pipe Masters in December 2015,

Durbidge will be using the Flight Centre Burleigh Pro as a playing field to get back into his competitive rhythm in preparation for his 2017 CT campaign.

“I’m feeling really good after having almost a whole year off competitive surfing last year and I’m now really keen to get back into the swing of things,” says Durbidge.

“Event’s like the Flight Centre Burleigh Pro offer the perfect playing field for me to get back into my competitive rhythm when competing. The guys that compete in the QS events are all so good and this is sure to challenge my ability to perform at my best in preparation for a big year ahead,” Durbidge continued.

Other big names within the Men’s draw include former Championship Tour surfers, Mitch Crews (Gold Coast, QLD) who won the Burleigh Pro in 2015, Ricardo Christie (New Zealand) and Nathan ‘The Hog’ Hedge who just last week was coach at Surfing Australia’s High Performance Centre at Casuarina. Tweed Coast locals like Mitch James, Brenno Dorrington, and a whole host of grommets, including 16 year old Burleigh Boardriders Wildcard, Maddy Job will be looking to upset the applecart of the more experienced rivals.

Alongside a strong contingent of Men’s surfers within the event includes 48 of some of the world’s best female

Tapped in to the waves with Terry ‘Tappa’ Teece surfers vying for those all import QS ratings points that go towards their quest to qualify for the Women’s Championship Tour.

Among those on their quest for valuable Women’s QS ratings points include both current and former Women’s Pro Junior Champions, Macy Callaghan (Avoca Beach, NSW) and Isabella Nichols (Coolum Beach, QLD) fighting for top spots after the two ranked within the top 25 on last year’s Women’s Qualifying Series.

Following a recent win at the Carve Pro QS1000 event at Maroubra in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, and being freshly crowned as the 2016 Women’s World Junior Champion, Macy Callaghan’s winning streak appears deadly to anyone in her path to victory. A few of the locals like Alyssa Lock, Brittani Nicol and company will be doing their best to get some WQS points of their own, Nichol, from Pottsville reached the quarter finals of the Carve Pro. The only problem is that the swell and wind forecast looks average at best. Hightide will see some spectacular rock-hopping, and more than likely a few fins becoming victim to the rocks. Saturday and Sunday will see the best of conditions, although East to North East winds are predicted, not too strong but not the ideal wind direction.

WICKET TO WICKET

Tweed Valley Seniors Continue Good Form In the first up 2 day game after the festive season, defending Premiers Cudgen 1/218 were too strong for Tintenbar East Ballina 196 off unbeaten innings from Jamie Wilson 101 and Tait Burns 58. Meanwhile Pottsville 127 and 7/145 conjured up a remarkable tied result against Marist Brothers 127 and 5/39 after a come from behind performance from Ryan McCloy who took ten wickets overall with 6/36 and 4/17. The visitors appeared to be on the box seat after day 1 before McCloy ripped through the bottom order with assistance from Adam Little.

In the Tweed Ballina Coastal League, Terranora 4/204 were too good for Ballina 166 off the back of excellent innings from Grant Thompson 95no and Jon Cameron 65. Elsewhere Cudgen and Murwillumbah had disappointing losses with Pottsville’s away game washed out. Despite Heath Wilsons 60 Cudgen 126 didn’t score enough runs against Lennox Head 7/127. Whilst at Rabjones a below par fielding performance form Murwillumbah combined with an excellent unbeaten innings from Matt Irwin of 82 ensured Byron Bay 6/187 was out of

reach for the hosts in making 110.

Tweed Valley Juniors – Super 8’s Sunday 22 January The annual Under 12’s Super 8’s was a great success over the weekend at the Rabjones Oval complex. The eight team round robin series consisted of teams from Cudgen, Pottsville, South Tweed and Murwillumbah.

Four grounds were in play on the day which saw Murwillumbah Panthers take the crown over stable mates the Roar – refer photo.

The day was coordinated by Jim Byrnes with some excellent help from Pottsville David McDowell in organising a number of teenage players who volunteered to umpire on the day. It has been a popular event over the years, with session a good springboard back into the normal competitions which resume this weekend after the Christmas break.

Have a great week SteveT

Newcastle Knights to visit Murwillumbah for feature game TWEED HEADS Seagulls coach Aaron Zimmerle said he was delighted with the attitude and efforts of his 32 players who showed they’ve got the skills to take on the Newcastle Knights next month.

With so many new players in the squad it was a combination of valuable time on the training paddock (three sessions on Saturday and Sunday) and just as valuable time enjoying each other’s company in a relaxed environment.

Intensity in training will lift for the Gulls this week with the first trial against Newcastle Knights on Saturday, February 4, at Murwillumbah approaching and players keen to press their claims for inclusion.

“We covered plenty structurally. They were trying to learn a lot in a small space of time but from the second session on Saturday intensity and confidence rose and on Sunday they were outstanding,” Zimmerle said on the Seagulls home page.

“It showed that they learned how to deal with setbacks and able to work through any sort of problems they were having.

As a group, they took some ownership of what we’re trying

to do.

“It was a great ‘get to know each other’ weekend too and no matter how serious we want to be and want to win, if it’s not enjoyable you’re not going to get the best performance out of them either.

“They have to be happy together, enjoy each other’s company and have good times and memories to look back on; so, winning or not, they have a reason to show up.

“That’s what I enjoyed about the weekend. They worked hard, they applied themselves but in the group dynamics they showed a lot of characters and it made it fun.

“The boys also learned how to take a big breath and relax over the two days. When you’re trying to execute something and maybe overthinking, putting pressure on yourselves ultimately everyone gets tense then it can become error after error.

“But learned to slow down and thought and relaxed at times and they did well at it.”

Among the 32 players were Seagulls stalwarts like James Wood, Nathanael Barnes and Sam Meskell along with

newcomers Nick Harrold, Lama Liolevave, Talor Walters, Jack Cook and Mackenzie Reid.

Some Seagulls-allocated Titans-contracted players may strengthen the squad, so it will be a full-scale first hit-out.

The following Saturday (February 11) those who don’t take on the Knights will filter into the squad to take on Intrust Super Cup champions Burleigh Bears at Mudgeeraba then the side close to that which will start the Cup season against Ipswich will take on Souths Logan.

The match will kick off at 5pm local time (4pm Qld time) at Stan Sercombe Oval in Murwillumbah, where Tweed hope to draw a large crowd.

Two cultures meet on Australia Day. Their worlds might touch but their views can be worlds apart.

26th January 1788 - Australia Day. January 26, 1788 was the date on which Captain Arthur Phillip took formal possession of the colony of New South Wales and raised the British flag for the first time in Sydney Cove.

AUSTRALIA DAY today is a celebration of diversity and tolerance in Australian society, embracing all ethnic backgrounds, racial differences and political viewpoints.
