Thursday April 27 - 2017

GREENHILLS CARAVAN Park owners Graeme and Jan Bolton were both facing early retirement just before one of the worst natural disasters struck the Tweed almost a month ago. The family are now facing one of their toughest battles yet and with limited options and time not nearly enough on their side. The park remains empty and all the campers, vans and demountable housing were either destroyed by fast flowing water or floated to other parts of the park causing carnage along the way. The Weekly caught up with owner Graeme (pictured below) to hear how the family are coping and to assess the damage that remains strewn throughout a once thriving site. Graeme feels that without the support of insurance, which is pending, or alternative solutions from Tweed Shire Council, he feels hopeless. Walking around the caravan park paints a grim picture with the shells of more than a dozen campers and demountable blocks, all destroyed or extensively damaged. Grahame said that although many of the campers and demountables could be restored the costs are mounting dramatically with an estimated bill of $75,000 alone - to replace the electrical grid across the park. “Under the current situation, we’re unable to reopen and

the cost of having an electrician to reconnect the sites is in excess of $75,000,” he said. Graeme said he was still paying off the loan for the business with around six years to go on his mortgage. Having recently turned 69 this year, Grahame said he was not in a position to start hefty new loans to bankroll the business. “I’m still paying the last loan off – we’ve got another six years to pay that off,” he said. “We’re just not in a position to take on more debt coupled with the uncertainty around insurance at the moment.” Graeme said he would seriously consider any options the Tweed Shire Council may have. “I would definitely consider any options on the table,” Graeme said. All the family have left is their family home which was only narrowly saved after the water level exceeded two metres. “We had to be rescued by the SES along with several park residents at the time,” he said. “The water was moving through so fast, it even pulled up the stumps on demountables and concrete in the foundations.” Graeme wanted to also extend his deepest gratitude to the Kingscliff Seventh-day Adventist volunteers, social media helpers and helpers from Queensland who assisted with a massive clean up effort across the park.

No “horse trade” for Kingscliff height increases

The residential housing mess and some solutions

Greed plays a big part in the housing market problems of today. Governments at all levels are greedy to get as much revenue as they can from each housing transaction. Investors circling like vultures. Other investors and the older owner-occupiers anxious to maximise their returns and minimise their tax liabilities. So many self-interested piglets all feeding off the same sow. The problem is so multi-faceted that no one solution, certainly not early access to superannuation, will solve it. Several changes must be introduced and implemented concurrently. Peter Leith, Tweed Recently there has been talk of amending the height restriction of buildings in Kingscliff. Evidently the Liberal Party Councillor on the Tweed Shire Council has been advocating for developers to pay Council to change the restriction in return for paying for libraries and other community infrastructure. Surely the Liberal Party cannot be advocating taking money or favours from developers to change planning requirements. Have they not learned from their previous follies in this arena? Or is it just the local Liberal member advocating it? Maybe he should consult his state superiors as to his plan. Any such plan to accept money from developers is treading on very dangerous grounds. Hopefully this plan will be vigorously defeated by the Council as opposition to it is widespread among not only the residents of Kingscliff, the voters of the Tweed, but also by any sane individual that cares to look over the border at the

During the recent Tweed Shire Council meeting the Liberal Councillor James Owen tried in a very lame attempt to convince us that we should ‘horse trade’ with developers to pay for additional infrastructure (libraries etc) in exchange for the favor of Council increasing the Kingscliff building height restrictions to ‘higher rise’. Is this suggestion from Owen ‘above board’? We don’t think so. The Liberal Party has a sordid history in regards to developer favoritism and we do not want it here on the Tweed. May we suggest James, if you and your family have an infatuation for a high rise lifestyle, please feel free to move over the border as over 15,000 people in and around Kingscliff have rejected your grandiose plan. Andrew Bennett, Murwillumbah

I’m with Cr Cooper on Kingscliff height limits

I totally agree with Cr Cooper’s approach to high rise in Kingscliff. We need more dedicated people like him, his thoughts and decision making are made because he cares for the area and for the enjoyment of people now and into the future. It makes me sick and disgusted when both the Kingscliff Business Chamber and developers continually push for more development/ high rise for the usual scapegoat reasoning of further employment and housing affordability. The parking and roads here are already at saturation point, not to mention many more people means more hoons, graffiti, litter, crime. Do they ever think of the damage to the current Kingscliff lifestyle that is and has always been enjoyed by both residents and holiday makers? Just look at the amount of visitors from the Gold and Brisbane who swarm here at weekends to get away from the high rise and congestion in their own areas. We do not want to be an extension of the Gold Coast full stop. Sylvia Wylie, Tweed

Murwillumbah people are too wonderful for words

Dear Murwillumbah and surrounding areas, what brave people you are, and how wonderful are all the amazing helpers, who came from everywhere, ignoring colour, race or religion to help. You all are too wonderful for words and we as an area thank you

all and know you must get blessings from all your kind actions, thoughts and prayers. During these terrible floods, I would also like to mention one small business for their outstanding service to the town of Murwillumbah, and it is the Ampol Unilight Service Station at Condong. Despite the service station severely flooding themselves, the owner and helpers worked to get the pumps going to serve the Murwillumbah area. At one time no other station was working except them. What an effort, so appreciated by us all. Also they at no time took advantage of the situation by raising the price of the petrol. I believe this small business should be given an award when it comes to picking the business of the year. Excellent work. June Birkett, Crystal Creek

Super agreements up for question again

It was approximately eight years ago when the Federal Government, Centrelink and private financial planners advised pending retirees, especially baby boomers, how important it was to plan your retirement. Those taking the advice from all those who professed to know, worked hard to top up their superannuation and investments with the knowledge provided that income from savings may not be sufficient for the future. Wi t h g e nu i n e a dv i c e f ro m Centrelink Financial Officers that a part aged pension could be available to assist in the shortfall, pending retirees set their plans. Behold, some 18 months or so ago the plans were all out the window with the announcement of the new aged pension asset test rules now in place, approximately 400,000 aged pension recipients have found their pension has been largely reduced or lost completely. This action by the Federal Government was done to save the public purse and make age pensions sustainable into the future. I suggest at this time politicians lead by example to save the public purse and have an asset rest applied for receipt of their own more than generous pending scheme which requires little of their own funding. B Taylor, Banora Point

We will always remember the big and small gestures, acts of kindness of all the people who helped...

Jonathon Howard Editor

Richard Bowe Sales Manager richard@theweekly.net.au

I’ve lived on the Tweed for 37 years – through several flood events – but have never really understood the impact of a disaster such as the one we’ve just experienced. The real tragedy of lost lives – the real determination of those who have suffered to recover rebuild and reset their lives – the real commitment of the many volunteers to provide vital assistance has made me determined to work within council to alleviate the impacts of future such events. I have been struck by the sincerity of visiting politicians. Their intent to understand our needs and work for better support systems. I was wrong to assume they were just here on show. We are indeed fortunate to have dedicated Council staff who have devoted so much of themselves and their skills to supporting recovery guarding our health, ensuring our safety and restoring our essential infrastructure. The cost of all this may result in a delay to the delivery of other Council services. I hope people will understand. I sat beside our General Manager at a recent meeting. He was visibly exhausted.He was drained from his efforts to co-ordinate his staff’s responses – from his efforts to inform and lobby politicians on behalf of distressed flood victims - from his efforts to comfort those most grievously affected. I have been privileged to have witnessed this facet of Council staff’s contribution to our community. They showed a dedication to help individuals, and the Shire as a whole, to recover and to better prepare for a future that only promises an increase in the frequency of such events. Cr Ron Cooper, Kingscliff

All efforts were greatly appreciated. We couldn’t have found a better community to raise our family in!

Tragedy tests Tweed to the core

of how well we pulled together and supported each other. There are so many examples of business helping business, stranger helping stranger that demonstrate hope, determination, mateship and resilience of our community. As for Council staff and operations, I am really proud of our workforce who worked tirelessly from the start to restore critical services, establish recovery centres and get the Tweed back on its feet. Our staff are local and live here too, with many of them impacted personally, yet they still went above and beyond. There are some great examples of teamwork and positive organisational culture that I am happy to be a part of. In the week following the flood, our Contact Centre staff took more than 2300 calls that is, one call every minute our phone lines were open, and that doesn’t even include frontcounter enquiries. We usually get 30,000 visits to our website in a month. We received this in just one week during the flood emergency. Our building inspection team offered free structural home inspections, with more than 20 homeowners taking up the offer. Our thanks go to all of our contractors and other local councils including Gold Coast, Ballina, Port Macquarie Hastings, Coffs Harbour, Byron, Richmond Valley and Kyogle for their support with plant and equipment. Council lost 35 trucks and heavy plant and 27 passenger vehicles, representing about one third of our fleet. All Council services and cultural facilities are open and back to business as usual. TRAC Murwillumbah has some repair work to do to the pool lining and filers on the outdoor pool which needs to be completely drained to clean the mud from the base. We do not want the pool empty for longer than necessary to avoid the pool shell ‘popping’ or cracking which can happen when they are empty. Fortunately, the outdoor pool traditionally closes after Easter and during the winter months so there is minimal disruption to pool users. We encourage all of our community to slow down, drive safe, take care on the roads and be cautious of any hidden hazards or debris on the waterways. Please check in with each other regularly and harness that wonderful community spirit we have seen emerge from these floods. Tweed Mayor Katie Milne

We would like to personally thank all friends, family and community that has helped us during the floods.

Tourism operator Mt Warning Tours bounces back

TOURISM OPERATORS across the Tweed Shire continue to bounce back this month following the recent natural disaster including Mount Warning Tours, who are again taking bookings for their amazing river cruises on the Spirit of Wollumbin. Like many businesses, Mount Warning Tours was smashed during the floods with many of its three-vessel fleet sustaining damages along with three tour vehicles damaged beyond repair including a large Sprinter Bus that went under. Damage also occurred to pontoons and boat ramp access points, which have since been restored by the Mount Warning Tours crew and helpers. After a mammoth clean-up effort with help from locals and several volunteers, the region’s most scenic river tour, Spirit of Wollumbin, is back in business. And the bookings have been running hot, with almost all cancellations during and after the floods now rebooked and ready to enjoy the beauty of the Tweed rivers again. Mount Warning Tours part owner/operator Michael Simmons said he was in a similar situation to other local business in not knowing what the future would hold, but initial signs have been positive. “It was touch and go there for a while, but we feel we’ve come back stronger thanks to the help of volunteers, locals and our dedicated community,” he said. “I’d like to encourage everyone to come and experience the calmer and more enjoyable side of the beautiful river systems

we have in the Tweed, through our exclusive river tour and boat hire operations.” Mr Simmons has also been a keen advocate for the region’s tourism through the Tweed Experiences Network and believes the Tweed has some of the best natural attractions in the world. “This is an amazing part of the world and people travel from far and wide to come here,” he said. “That’s why I believe it’s important to support and build up our local tourism operators to ensure they’re helping visitors experience the best of the Tweed.” The Spirit of Wollumbin, which is Mount Warning Tours’ biggest vessel, had been operating tour trips from Tumbulgum to Murwillumbah and back for almost six months when the storm hit. “It was a devastating blow for everyone,” he said. “There’s a lot of help needed around our community and I’m hoping to attract visitors back to experience the incredible natural wonders we have here and to progress the recovery as soon as possible.” Mount Warning Tours specialise in providing cruises on the Tweed River, day tours and overnight tours around the iconic Mount Warning, the World Heritage listed Border Ranges and the picturesque Tweed Valley. Clients can choose from river cruises, guided kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, hiking, 4WD and mountain biking tours.

Picnic to unite town

ONE IN five children in the 2484 postcode area are now living below the poverty line, compared to one in eight nationally, according to It Takes a Town. It Takes a Town is an initiative that has grown out of the aspirations and goodwill of the local community, to create a difference and many members believe this statistic can be changed. Project Activator, Carmen Stewart said the 2484 postcode area is home to one of the most generous communities in Australia. “This has been evident in recent weeks following the damage from (Ex)Cyclone Debbie,” she said. “In knowing we have this capacity for generosity, the pathway to creating opportunities for children, families, indeed everyone to thrive, is through continuing to harness this generosity.” During the next two years, the team at It Takes a Town will bring the community together, to explore how it can grow generosity to benefit the region. “In particular the initiative is focusing on creating opportunities for any families seeking change, by linking them with local residents who have the skills, passions and/or time, to support them in working towards their aspirations,” Mrs Stewart said. “The invitation to the 2484 community, is to join with It Takes a Town to activate a common agenda – an agenda that benefits our most vulnerable children and families, as well as everyone else. “We all have something to contribute and something to gain. “So pack a rug and a picnic, and come and celebrate the launch of It Takes a Town and the generosity that has been so evident in recent weeks.” The community picnic will take place on Sunday, April 30 between 10am and 1pm at Knox Park, Murwillumbah. Either bring a plate for the shared picnic table or pack your own picnic. “And don’t forget to warm up for beforehand for a game of cricket and a bit of tug-owar. Let’s connect and grow the generosity,” Mrs Stewart said.

Council to consider control of all Jack Evans Harbour Reserves

Easy guide to buying and selling real estate

Tony Mitchell of Stacks Law Firm prepared this guide on what to look out for when you set out to buy or sell real estate. • You should understand the sale contract. This will usually mean having the contract reviewed and explained to you by your solicitor before you sign it. Quite often, it will be necessary for your solicitor to negotiate some of the terms of the contract for your protection. • The buyer should require that the contract is subject to their obtaining a satisfactory written report from a building inspector and a pest inspector. If the property is part of a community titles scheme, the buyer should also require that the contract is subject to their obtaining a satisfactory written report about the records of the body corporate. • After the contract is signed by both the buyer and the seller, the seller’s title to the property must be carefully investigated to ensure that the buyer does not inherit any problems after settlement. • After the contract is signed by both the buyer and the seller, the buyer will need to arrange appropriate insurance. • If the buyer is obtaining finance, their solicitor and their financier (and if it is an investment property, their accountant also) will need to work together closely. • If there is a mortgage on the property, the seller’s solicitor will need to work closely with the seller’s financier. • The transfer documents must be carefully prepared by the solicitor for the buyer to ensure that the buyer will be correctly registered on title as the owner of the property after settlement.

A COMMUNITY action group is again rallying supporters to oppose a move by Tweed Shire Council to control all seven Crown Reserves at the Jack Evans Boat Harbour. The matter was raised during Council’s Tweed Reserves Trust Meeting on Thursday, April 20. Council currently maintains Jack Evans Boat Harbour which falls under seven Crown Reserves, however the Tweed Heads Jack Evans Boat Harbour Reserve Trust is currently the Reserve Trust Manager for three Crown Reserves (see diagram below). As such the Reserve Trust only has control and management rights to three Crown Reserves. The Reserve Trust has no power to authorise any thirdparty use or occupation of the remaining Crown Reserves within the Jack Evans Boat Harbour precinct. During Council’s meeting it was decided the councillors should defer the matter to the May 18 Tweed Reserves Trust meeting, of which the vote was carried. Meanwhile, the Save Jack Evans Boat Harbour group (SJEBH) wrote to The Weekly on Monday stating that they “object” to any move by Tweed Shire Council to control all seven Crown Reserves, which the group believes could open the door to further water recreation including examples such as inflatable water parks, a move that was quashed in 2016. “The Save Jack Evans Boat Harbour (JEBH) Group do not support Council trying to gain control of all seven Crown Reserves contained within the JEBH precinct,” the group statement reads. “If Council were to gain control over all seven reserves, it would give them total authority to approve any commercial venture in the JEBH precinct without having to consult with any other trustee. “We do not feel this is in the best interest of residents and visitors to the harbour who value the scenic open public space.” Save JEBH chair Richard Mason added to the group statement and said he believes “a wider Council agenda is in the wind”. “My own personal opinion is, that Council obviously has an agenda to gain ultimate control over the JEBH,” he said. “They are being driven by a desire to exploit the harbour area for financial gain. “The last Council Agenda, April 20, clearly shows their intent to allow commercial ventures into the JEBH precinct without the need for a tender process.” Mr Mason used the example that the harbour could have

• During the period leading up to settlement, accurate calculations must be undertaken to ensure that the buyer pays the correct amount on settlement, including all adjustments to which both the buyer and the seller are entitled.

For a consultation call

Meanwhile DPI Land is seeking public input on their NSW Regional Ports Strategy Tweed Heads which includes the Tweed Marina, Jack Evans Boat Harbour and Tweed River mouth. The report identifies the Jack Evans Boat Harbour as an area for revitalisation for tourism and recreation with potential opportunities including a new marina and facilities, cultural recognition signage at breakwaters and a pedestrian thoroughfare to link breakwater footpaths to other areas. According to the report the Jack Evans Boat Harbour would require less maintenance dredging than other sites. The report also identifies the Chinderah pub and marinas upstream of Barneys Point as “areas of potential opportunity with deeper water sites and fewer constraints.” Kirkwood Road is listed as another possible site for additional moorings and a hardstand, slipway, or crane-out facility. The Tweed Marina is also listed as an area for redevelopment with the report identifying a fishermen’s wharf including trawler boats as a possible option. Suggestions to improve the Tweed Marina which currently does not allow commercial fishing includes additional moorings (possibly floating), maintaining a trafficable wharf for fishermen’s moorings, new power systems (3-phase) to service needs of trawler boats operators,parking upgrades, short-term (5-10 years) new pontoon/jetty structures, a slipway / boat maintenance facility and an expansion into the southern precinct with additional moorings (Mediterranean style). To have your say on the NSW Regional Ports Strategy Tweed Heads visit http://yourportcrownland.engagementhq. com/tweed-heads This phase of the consultation process closes on April, 28.

Buying or selling real estate can be daunting if you are not familiar with the process. If managed appropriately, it should be a stress free, enjoyable and exciting experience. There are plenty of pitfalls on both sides of the transaction, and with such large sums of money involved it’s important to be on top of what is going on.

Solar Bonus Ends This Year! Are You Ready Yet?

Are you one of the smart people in the Northern Rivers who are benefiting from the 60 cent per kWh export paid to them under the NSW Solar Bonus Scheme? Payments under this plan expired 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 just 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.

New season pecans are now in at the market in shells or as kernel. They are available at the Nudgel Nuts Stall. Tweed River Pecan’s Kaye and David McNaught have been busy harvesting. It is that time of year when family and friends gather to help with harvesting and with several tons of delicious pecans already collected and more to go they appreciate all the help they can get. Kaye said that it is a bumper crop this year too – so that is great news. We love it when local growers have a productive season. David said their pecans are grown in the fertile soils of the Tweed River Valley at their Kynnumboon farm using biological farming principles. This means really nurturing, building and maintaining the soil life. It is based around measuring the microbial life in the soil and then applying the microbes, nutrients, compost teas and compost necessary to have a balanced soil capable of producing healthy trees. David and Kaye both carefully nurture their trees harvesting and packing the pecan nuts to ensure optimum flavour, freshness and nutrition. Apart from being simply delicious there are so many health benefits to eating pecans and here are just a couple: High in antioxidants – one of these being vitamin E, which scientists say may convey neurological and cell protection. The vitamin E in pecans may also play a role in preventing coronary heart disease prevention because it keeps blood lipids from oxidizing in your body, which can be equated with rusting. Pecans are also chock-full of minerals including 245% of the daily value per serving of manganese; 65% of the daily value for copper, critical for energy production in your cells,

Building waste processing plant planned for Chinderah

A DEVELOPMENT application to construct a $2.2 million waste or resource transfer station and two warehouse units at Chinderah is currently on public exhibition with several Chinderah residents expressing concerns about dust, noise and increased truck activity. The application was lodged with Council in August 2016 by M&J Mitchell, owners of several Kingscliff based businesses. The proposed development is located at 16 Naru Street, on industrial zoned land within the existing Chinderah Industrial Park and is located within 500m of residential areas including the Gateway Lifestyle and Royal Pacific Caravan Parks. The facility would process mixed-waste materials from building yard and construction sites and it is estimated approximately 10,000 tonnes of waste and resources would be processed each year for recycling. It is proposed work would be carried out at the facility Monday to Friday between the hours of 5.30am and 5.30pm and Saturday 7.30am to 5.30pm. The floor space of the proposed building is 1573 square metres with a height of 11.8 metres, however, under the Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014 the maximum allowable building height at the site is 10m and an application has been submitted to be exempted from Development Standards under Clause 4.6 of the Plan. The site will also contain a weighbridge to weigh all vehicles entering and leaving the facility, stockpile area, bin storage and parking bays. Two warehouses, to also be constructed on the site would be tenanted and operate independently from the resource transfer station. The majority of waste collected would be solid waste from both residential and commercial construction sites within the Tweed Shire. The application states that no chemicals, asbestos or spoilable waste would be accepted at the facility “All sorting will be undertaken indoors as per the recommendations by the Environmental Noise Impact Assessment and the Air Quality Impact assessment recommendations,” the Environmental Impact Statement prepared by Planit Consulting reads “Waste materials including concrete, timber and soil will be transported to the bin storage areas located at the rear of the site and unloaded into stockpiles. Once the stockpile areas are full, they will be loaded into rigid trucks for deliver(y) offsite and further processing.

In June 2016 the Department of Planning and Environment issued Environmental Assessment Requirements to the applicants which included; strategic context, waste management, air quality, noise, soil and water, traffic and transport, hazards and risk, biodiversity, visual amenity and heritage. The site of the development is on flood prone land and according to flood mapping provided with the Environmental Impact Statement the development site has a flooding level of 3.1m. The site currently has an average ground level of 2m and the application states that additional site filling will not be required. The application states the site will have the ability to provide flood-free storage and asset protection. “The proposed development is compatible with the flood hazard of the land, and will not significantly adversely affect flood behaviour resulting in detrimental increases in the potential flood affectation of other development or properties,” the statement reads. “Further to this, the proposed development incorporates appropriate measures to manage risk to life from flood, and will not significantly adversely affect the environment or cause avoidable erosion, siltation, destruction of riparian vegetation or a reduction in the stability of river banks or watercourses.” Tweed Shire Council said they could not perform a flood assessment on the site as not enough information had been provided in the development application. “Given that there is no/limited information on concept design drawings (only shows outline and batters of raised platform) an initial assessment cannot be provided at this stage for flooding, filling and grading,” Council’s submission read. Council also raised questions around whether the applicant intends to fill the site. As the land is flood prone and under Tweed Development

Controls the site is “not intended to be filled and will only include land forming for stormwater purposes. As part of the development consent the subdivision lots were restricted to a maximum fill level of up to 2m.” “The concept site plan illustrates a raised platform area over the majority of the site. The combination of proposed raised platform and raised shed ground floor level indicates filling over the site.” To address noise concerns the applicant has proposed fitting construction vehicles with mufflers, sound absorbing materials within the building, for trucks to limit air brakes before 7am and certification to ensure noise compliance. Chinderah residents however remain concerned about noise, dust and the number of trucks on residential streets with more than 100 public submissions against the development. Jill Kinneally, a resident of Gateway Lifestyle Tweed Shores said in her submission to Council that the development would impact on the lifestyle of retirees. “My reason for my objection is as a resident of Gateway Lifestyle Tweed Shores, is the noise from the large trucks, which would be a continuing noise and interruption to our lifestyle,” she said. “I am also concerned with the dust that the trucks would cause, as I suffer from a dust allergy this would cause me further problems. “As most of the people who reside in the three parks Royal Pacific, Chinderah Lakes and Gateway Lifestyle Tweed Shores back onto Naru Street, are retired, we would all be affected by the truck noises. This is a major disruption of our lifestyle. ” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you support the development of a waste transfer station at Chinderah?

‘The Next Revolution’ in CORE Strength and Back Pain solution While the age old discipline of yoga has made a great resurgence in recent years, while the impact that Pilates has made on core strengthening and injury prevention can not be ignored, it’s an Australian researched exercise program focusing on spinal stability and providing solutions into back pain which is poised to be the next big thing for healthcare professionals and patients alike. Matthew Gray from Active Life Physiotherapy Clinic has described this new Australian developed program as the next exercise revolution beyond Pilates. The program known as The BOUNCE back Spinal Stability program has been developed by well known Olympic physiotherapist Trish Wisbey-Roth, who between her commitments to Australian sport, her busy practice, lecturing and research has developed a scientiﬁcally proven program which has been proven to signiﬁcantly increase function by 40% while reducing pain by 50% in chronic back pain sufferers. Matthew suggests that the program, which Active Life Physiotherapy Clinic is now using in its new South Tweed location will revolutionise back pain treatment for acute patients, those who suffer repetitive periods of back pain and the chronic pain sufferer. The program is also extremely effective at eliminating chronic and repetitive sports injuries in all levels of athlete. After a thorough assessment which incorporates bio-feedback mechanisms, individual programs

are prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare professional to ensure that the maximum effect of the program is achieved. After one on one sessions the client may commence BOUNCE back classes where they still get substantial individual attention but enjoy the advantages of group support and sharing with people of similar circumstances and conditions. Ms Wisbey-Roth has spent many years researching and developing this program which is the only one of its kind to have scientific research validate conclusively the beneficial effects of this type of exercise. The program is based on ensuring the core stabilising muscles of the trunk are working at their optimal function and performing the work that they are designed to do. Those who have benefited from the BOUNCE back program include elite athletes, both sedentary and heavy manual workers, young mothers and even long term chronic back sufferers who have been unable to work for very long periods of time. If you are suffering from back pain, have had repetitive back pain episodes or even have a chronic sports injury, then it may now be time to put all that behind you and call the Active Life Physiotherapy Clinic to book your assessment and see how BOUNCE back will solve your problems. Call 02 6672 8495 now and take positive action and enjoy your life without pain.

AMIDST ALL the chaos of the flood recovery, Tweed’s many homeless people are struggling in an even more desperate situation with You Have a Friend founder John Lee slamming the State Government for what he says is a “failure to support the state’s forgotten victims”. Tweed Shire Council has also estimated that more than 100 people have been displaced by the flood, which adds to the hundreds of people known to be previously homeless and at risk across the Tweed. “A disaster in another country, floods, cyclones, earthquakes and Australia is quick to send 40, 50 or hundreds of millions of dollars to that country,” Mr Lee said. “And yet, one of the worst floods in history has just destroyed our Tweed Shire and the NSW State Government and the Federal Government have simply sent representatives to nod heads and tell us how sorry they are. “It is left up to locals to raise funds for the so many now destitute.” Mr Lee said the destruction and devastation continues to unravel for many struggling residents. “And yet, what has our State and Federal Government done to support one of the record floods in living memory. I see nothing,” he said. “And now, families with small children told to fend for themselves and forced to live in tents. “Persons receiving chemotherapy now destitute and couch surfing.” Mr Lee said children suffering trauma have been on roofs and tied to supports during the floods now need help as many are now homeless in the area. “I am waiting an answer from our local state members Geoff Provest MP and Thomas George MP exactly how much they were able to source from the NSW State Government to support our beautiful Tweed district at this time of disaster,” he said. “A $2.6-billion deal to privatise the state’s land titles registry has just been enacted. “Of this money, the NSW State Government

has pledged $1 billion dollars to upgrade just three Sydney stadiums. “Hello, would not 50-100 million dollars of that given to the flood relief to support the so many now facing a life of poverty and sadness? “Maybe it has. I would hope I am wrong and that our local state members can advise me just how much the State Government has given to help the so many small businesses and the so many residents who have literally lost everything.” Tweed Shire Council Mayor Katie Milne also released a statement this week acknowledging the “enormous personal, physical and emotional toll of the recent floods and the impact they have had on the lives of so many Tweed families,” she said. “Especially those who were already vulnerable with respect to housing,” Mayor Milne said. “While Council takes an active role wherever possible, homelessness and the provision of services are the primary responsibility of the State Government and we are working closely with them to identify and refer details of people impacted by the recent flood. “Council has taken significant measures to support community members displaced during and after the flood event, most significantly funding staff resources at the Flood Recovery Centre, including the Centre Manager, which is the key point of contact for people seeking accommodation.” Mayor Milne said Council had also taken practical steps to help displaced people, such as providing use of the Art Gallery and facilities for those residents of the Greenhills Caravan Park and opening aquatic centre bathrooms and showers free to the public during the event. “Council’s Environmental Health staff also visited many of the affected caravan parks since the floods to declare them safe to occupy as soon as possible,” she said.

Smile Bag hopes to give local kids a boost products that have been generously donated by other businesses such as Priceline, Murwillumbah Newsagents and other individuals,” she said. “We have a display cabinet in store at Chozen Surf where people can drop off donations.” Mrs Bolt said the program is also developing a waiting list which now has more than 20 requests for Smile Bags. “And I’m sure that number will increase during the next few days and weeks,” Willow said. Chozen Surf is also contacting large suppliers to see whether they can join the community initiative with exciting items for kids. “Items we are asking for include cool cute stationary and journals, costume jewellery and hair appliances including hair, body and makeup products. Gift cards, underwear, clothing, caps, gaming consoles, games, controllers, Pokémon cards, cool toys for boys and balls. We also need bedroom décor and special keep sakes, plus any other items for children. Mrs Bolt said a lot of local support was still needed to get the Smile Bag project off the ground. “It would really help to generate more momentum for this project so we can quickly fill the other bags and get them out into the community,” she said.

MURWILLUMBAH BUSINESS Chozen Surf has set up an innovative idea that’s helping put a smile on the faces of local kids in the form of gift bags, following the recent natural disaster and lengthy clean up. Known as “The Smile Bag”, the idea was developed by Chelle Wallace, who is one of the administrators of the Facebook page “Flood Clean Up 2484” and a local resident of South Murwillumbah, Nikki Ruttland who approached Chozen Surf with an idea to bless those children impacted by the floods. Chozen Surf owners Willow and Jason Bolt said the program aims to bring a smile and hope to those kids and young people who have lost all their much-loved possessions, which were destroyed by the recent natural disaster. Since launching the campaign the surf shop has since been inundated with residents wanting to get involved. “The last week we have heard heart-breaking stories from mums, grandmas and concerned neighbours who want to give something new to their amazing resilient children who helped through a tough time,” she said. “They want to replace a few of the things they have lost, however they are having to spend whatever spare money they have to fix their homes first.” Mrs Bolt said the business had so far completed five teenage girl Smile Bags which were handed out on Monday, April 24, but more are desperately needed. “Jason and I have donated the backpacks filling them with

Smile Bags to four lucky local girls at Chozen Surf this week includes Paris Young, Summah Young, Emily King and Grace Flanagon.

The 2017 campaign includes TV, print, digital, social media and advertising components and encourages parents to download a phone app which reminds them when jabs are due. The recommended free vaccines protect against 16 vaccinepreventable diseases – hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type B, polio, pneumococcal, rotavirus, meningococcal C, measles, mumps, german measles, chicken pox, human papillomavirus (HPV), influenza and shingles. Young people aged 17 and 18 years will also be eligible for the meningococcal ACWY vaccine from May 1.

NSW HEALTH Minister Brad Hazzard has announced a one million dollar campaign to boost vaccination rates across the state with a particular focus on parents in the Tweed and Northern Rivers, who he said “are failing to safeguard their children by vaccinating”. Mr Hazzard said the 2017 Save the Date to Vaccinate campaign starts today as part of World Immunisation Week and aims to improve poor local take-up. “Northern NSW and in particular the north coast have the lowest vaccination rates in Australia. It is beyond concerning. The Government wants to get levels closer to the statewide average,” Mr Hazzard said. “Around nine in every 10 children in NSW is vaccinated but in some parts of northern NSW, the rate is as low as six or seven in every 10 children. Byron Bay is of huge concern. “It may be beautiful but its kids are amongst the least protected in NSW.” Health authorities warn deaths still occur in Australia from diseases such as whooping cough and diphtheria which can be prevented by routine vaccination. Director of Public Health NSW North Coast Paul Corben, said many residents of the north coast were unnecessarily wary of immunisation, often through disinformation. “We face a range of challenges often not experienced in other states with many people here perceiving vaccines are unnatural, as opposed to life-saving,” Mr Corben said. “This campaign will see a range of targeted local strategies including increased community engagement and more nurses

2. Become an expert on your heater

If you have heaters installed at your place, make sure they’re working correctly and that nothing is sitting in front of or on top of them. You should also find out if you have a gas or electric heater and then check if you’re getting a good deal from your energy supplier. If you plan on buying a heater, do some research and buy an energy efficient brand

3. Shut up unused rooms

Keep the heat where you need it most by always shutting the doors on any rooms you’re not using, especially when you have the heater running. This will save on energy consumption and heat the rooms correctly that you are using

4. Get door draught blockers

Cold air often creeps in underneath doors. ‘Snake’ draught stoppers are a budget way of keeping out a lot of cold air.

5. Stay warm while you sit

You are most likely to want to turn the heater up when you’re sitting still because your body temperature will naturally start to drop. Why not use a hot water bottle, blanket or beanie to prevent needing to turn the heater up while you’re sitting still

6. Cover bare floors

Place rugs and mats on top of any bare floors to stop the cold air from rising.

7. Layer up

As much as layers can be our enemy, they can also be our friends. We simply have to choose where they mark their territory. Thick socks, large gloves and a good ol’ woolly hat will insulate the areas of our body where heat is lost most rapidly

Tweed Clubs rally in aid of Condong Bowls Cane rot setting in THE CONDONG BOWLS Club has bounced back

from the Tweed floods in a big way this month, with the club looking sparkling new thanks to the kindness of members, locals and volunteers as well as the overwhelming support from fellow bowls clubs.

In many ways, the Condong Bowls Club has served as the ultimate test of the amazing strength and kindness of fellow bowls clubs across the Tweed Shire who rallied in support of Condong Bowls, alongside Clubs NSW and Bowls NSW. The new and still improving Condong Bowls Club has since emerged from the muddy waters with an amazing amount of support from the Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club, Twin Towns Services Club, Murwillumbah Services Club, Tweed Bowls Club, Cabarita Beach Bowls Club, Clubs NSW, Bowls NSW and Bowls Australia. Condong Bowls Clubs manager Kerry Campbell said she wanted to thank Bowls Club mangers Guy Diven (Murwillumbah Services Club), Phil Kelly (Kingscliff Beach Bowls), Rob Smith (CEO Twin Towns) and Gerard Roberts (Tweed Bowls Club). “Guy put out the distress call the minute he heard the club’s plight,” she said. “The response from within the industry was immediate and overwhelming.” Kerry said Mr Diven also supplied equipment including computers as well as acting as intermediary for Condong. “Phil was so much support offering moral support, advice and liaising with Clubs NSW and Bowls NSW,” Kerry said.

“He also organised the new fridge, freezers, washer, dryer, oven, fatigue mats, compliance signs just to name a few.” Kerry said another big help came from Twin Towns Services Club who provided the club with amazing new furniture. “Rob and his tireless workers Cameron and Ben, opened up their storage area to us and provided all the furniture we needed for our bar and function area,” she said. “Tables, chairs, office desks and so much more. Twin Towns could simply not do enough not only that they provided the labour to load, transport and unload truck loads.” Finally, Kerry said she wanted to thank Gerard who she said turned a weeks’ worth of work into one days’ work restoring the club. “Gerard brought an incredible work force with high pressure hoses with workers from many of the surrounding clubs,” Kerry said. “From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of members and the Condong Bowls Club I would like to thank our partner clubs, who have not only helped us back on our feet but managed to do it in very short space of time.” Another interesting note about the Condong Bowls Club, is that the club’s extensions, which included the bar area below, was officially opened on April 24, 1977. “And we reopened, completely coincidentally on April 24, 2017, following the disaster.” The Condong Bowls Club is now open and is taking new members and bookings on (02) 6672 2238

TWEED PRIMARY producers including cane farmers will now be eligible for Category C funding under the disaster relief funding scheme, according to Deputy Prime Minister Banarby Joyce, who made the announcement on Wednesday, April 26. The announcement means that any primary producer, who receives the majority of their income from farming operations such as cane farming, will be covered under Category C. The announcement came after recent assessments of cane storks revealed rot is threatening to diminish a once predicted bumper harvest for the Tweed. Tweed Canegrowers’ Association president Robert Hawken met with Minister of Police and Emergency Services Troy Grant (pictured below) recently to assess the cane. Mr Hawken told The Weekly there were still many unanswered questions around the harvest. “At this point in time we are unable to determine the full effect of the damage to cane from total inundation in the recent flooding,” he said. “Whether or not the cane plant will recover or continue to deteriorate and rot will determine the sugar content in this year’s crop. “Tonnage will be significantly reduced if the plant stops growing and sugar quality may not be known until harvest commences but it is expected to be down on average years because of damage so far sustained.” Mr Hawken said many cane plants had endured severe stress and the tops were showing signs of rot. “Harvest will not be delayed this year but growers will need to reassess their harvesting and planting programs,” he said. “Many badly damaged fields and crops may need to be harvested, ploughed out and re-planted, rather than ratooned or allowed to regrow after harvesting. “Some fields have also been badly eroded with top soil removed and growers will need to address these issues during the coming season.” “As yet, we have not been notified officially of Category C classification for farmers in Tweed Shire, however, we have been told to expect an announcement soon.”

Property market buoyant despite disaster MURWILLUMBAH REAL house prices continue to grow with the median house price recently rising above $400K and despite the recent floods local real estate agents are confident the market will return to normal. Six months ago, in October 2016, The Weekly reported that an investment boom had made it to Murwillumbah with a median house price of $385K and 6.21 per cent growth in 12 months. According to CoreLogic the current median house price in Murwillumbah is now $410K, which has increased by 9 per cent in the past 12 months. Across the river South Murwillumbah has seen minimal growth (0.7 per cent) in the past 12 months with a current median house price of $363K. This comes off the back of a massive increase of 15 per cent over 12 months to $360K in October 2016. Murwillumbah units have also seen high growth over the past 12 months by increasing 23 per cent to a median price of $240K. Sales have been strong across the past year with a house sold almost every second day in Murwillumbah (171 houses) and taking an average of 81 days to sell with only 3.6 per cent discounting. In the past year, 27 houses sold in South Murwillumbah taking an average of 92 days to sell and an average discount of 4.7 per cent. Local real estate agent Sally Mather at First National Murwillumbah said that demand for properties is currently high, with fewer properties being listed and properties listed below $450K selling fast. “We are finding that listings are getting tight and we are seeing less properties coming onto the market,” she said. “There are still buyers looking but are finding it harder to secure the right property for them as there is less to choose from or another buyer is beating them to the sale. “Properties under $450,000 sell a lot quicker than properties priced higher as there are more home owners and investors looking in that price range. “We hardly see properties in this price range being listed lately and when they do they are usually snapped up quite quickly.” Ms Mather said that with attractive yields Murwillumbah remains popular for investors, both locally and interstate.

“There is a mix of home owners and investors buying in the area,” she said “Our rental returns are quite high, so we are always getting enquiries from investors, some local and some interstate. “We have also sold a lot of homes to locals who are upsizing/downsizing.” Murwillumbah houses currently offer investors a yield of 5.1 per cent, whilst South Murwillumbah is a slightly higher yield of 5.5 per cent. Units in Murwillumbah have the sixth highest yield in the state with an average rent of $340 per week attracting a 7.4 per cent yield. The rental market in Murwillumbah remains tight and with some residents unfortunately unable to return to their homes after the floods demand for rentals has increased. “The rental demand is very strong and with a lack of investment properties available we are receiving numerous applications per property,” Ms Mather said. “At the moment we are only listing approximately five new rentals per month.”

The current median rent in Murwillumbah is $400 for houses and $340 for units whilst South Murwillumbah is slightly lower at $383 per week for houses. Back in October The Weekly reported a lower median rent for Murwillumbah houses at $385 per week, but higher for units at $380 per week. Ms Mather said she believes the market should go back to normal once the hype from the floods settles down. “The floods to South Murwillumbah, Condong, Tumbulgum etc were terrible and I feel for everyone who has been affected,” she said. “The good news is that in time I believe when the hype dies down, the market should go back to normal. “There will always be some buyers who avoid flood areas, and this was the case before the recent flood, but there is a buyer for every home “Buyers are aware that when they buy in a low lying area there will be a risk of flood but there are other advantages which may draw them to that area for example river views, closer to Tweed Heads/Coolangatta, the home.”

Acts of kindness continue Wedgetail continues call for goverment backing ACTS OF generosity continue to take place across the Tweed Shire following the Tweed disaster with the most recent act of kindness coming from Cool-A-Bah Cooling Services owner Bill Townsend at 2 Buchanan St, Murwillumbah. With the support from electrical suppliers Mitsubishi and Haier, Mr Townsend kindly donated five Mitsubishi Electric fridges, six Haier fridges and six Haier washing machines to those who lost everything. “There’s such a big need to support those locals who were completely devastated by the recent disaster,” he said. “I’m just glad that with the backing from

Mitsubishi and Haier we were able deliver these white goods to homes that need them.” Mr Townsend said his own business suffered terribly with several vehicles damaged beyond repair and an insane cleanup operation. “It was a big task to get through, for everyone,” he said. “But I can see the signs of recovery now and we just need to help out those who were impacted and are not getting the vital support.” Mr Townsend also wanted to also thank Peter Shoobridge at Shoobridge Transport for suppling the trucks to transport the white goods.

Beccie McKay, Bill Townsend and Samantha Barker

MURWILLUMBAH mother Nicky Moore, 46, passed away on Thursday, March 30, after a four-year battle with metastatic breast cancer at the flood affected Wedgetail Retreat community hospice in Dulguigan. Her defacto partner of many years, Graeme Krueger (pictured together below), was so touched by the level of selfless care and support that Nicky received during her stay at the hospice, he is now calling on the NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard to provide government funding to what he said is a “unique and phenomenal” palliative care not-for-profit organisation. “Nicky’s favourite thing in the world was her family, she was just that kind of person,” Mr Krueger said. “It was her dying wish not to die in hospital, even with the flood levels rising, she wanted to stay at Wedgetail Retreat. “The staff were generous enough to stay and take exceptional care of her and I can’t speak highly enough of the 24/7 facility, registered nurses, volunteer carers and chefs. “They are all incredible. They are selfless people giving so much at such a challenging time.” Mr Krueger said as soon as they arrived at the hospice they both suddenly felt relaxed for the first time in a long time. “The whole family, including our 11-yearold son Jacq and even our two English Staffy dogs, Roxie and Piper, were warmly welcomed,” Mr Krueger said. Upon hearing of the NSW Health Minister’s announcement that the future of palliative care services in NSW will be discussed at a Roundtable meeting in Lismore next month, Mr Krueger said he wanted to encourage Mr Hazzard to back the hospice financially.

“I would like to say to the NSW Health Minister that if he or one of his family was fortunate enough to need to stay at Wedgetail Retreat community hospice, he would have no hesitation in funding them,” he said. “It is such a unique facility that provides important palliative care resources to regional NSW. “It’s unbelievable that they receive no government funding from NSW Health.” President of Tweed Palliative Support and the Wedgetail Retreat community hospice, Meredith Dennis also attended Nicky’s funeral held in Tweed Heads. She said, as an ambulance could not access the hospice, “Nicky was ferried by an SES boat from the hospice like a beautiful Goddess on a raft – befitting of a very special person.” While the hospice was not flooded, all roads leading to it and part of the driveway were. Meredith Dennis will attend the discussions with the NSW Health Minister in May at Lismore to strongly lobby for government funding for NSW’s only adult’s community hospice – Wedgetail. The Weekly has sent several questions to Mr Hazzard media team asking whether he would commit any funding to Wedgetail, but a response has not yet been received.

Club Banora moat in hands of Council In 2003, Tweed Shire Council compiled their Western Drainage Scheme Operational Management Plan for Banora Point/Tweed Heads South, with primary objectives of maintaining the drainage function of the stormwater system and eradicating noxious species that entered the waterway.

are aimed at minimising impacts on local wildlife, in particular the habitat requirements of the Combcrested Jacana. “Jacanas rely on a large cover of water lilies for foraging and roosting so even the removal of aquatic vegetation needs to be carefully scheduled and closely monitored by Tweed Shire Council’s environmental team.

Other primary objectives listed in the plan included maintenance of the water quality of the network and the preservation of local wildlife, especially the Combcrested Jacana, an endangered species of bird that was first noted in the Banora Point area in 1997. In the wake of numerous recent complaints to Twin Towns management about the need to “clean up the moat”, made by local Banora Point residents, Twin Towns General Manager Rob Smith decided it was timely to provide the Club’s perspectives of Tweed Shire Council’s responsibilities regarding maintenance of the

“It is ultimately important to remember that in the first place, the Western Drainage Scheme was constructed by Tweed Shire Council, partially on Club Banora’s land, to enable the development of Banora Point west of Darlington Drive. Western Drainage Scheme, which includes Club Banora’s moat. “Under a Deed of Agreement between Twin Towns and Tweed Shire Council signed in 2004, subsequent to Council’s

2003 Management Plan for the waterway, Council accepted responsibility for monitoring and maintaining water quality, aquatic vegetation removal and weed control.

“Our hands are tied because under this agreement, Tweed Shire Council has full responsibility. “Maintenance procedures noted in the Council agreement are justifiably very specific, as they

“This was the reason why a Deed of Agreement between Council and Twin Towns was required in the first place, and I am not sure whether that development could have proceeded without the use of our land for drainage.” Continued page 3

Twin Towns lights up the border Crossing the border from Queensland to New South Wales by night will be a dazzling and memorable experience for visitors and locals alike when Twin Towns switches on their $1.9 million ‘Gateway to NSW’ digital lightshow in a few months’ time. The facades and circular architectural lines of the Twin Towns building will become a digital canvas, engaging the public with a permanent, colourful, nighttime spectacle. The visual content created on the Twin Towns façade will include digitised images of NSW, regional tourism highlights, photo-real

videos, animations and motion graphics. The company designing, manufacturing and installing the lightshow, Gold Coast-based ULA Group, is globally recognised for its many large-scale projects, including the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, Auckland Sky Tower, Brisbane City Hall and Federation Square in Melbourne. ULA Group Managing Director, Cuono Biviano, said he and his team are extremely excited about turning the vision of the Twin Towns Board into reality. “This will be one of the most tech-

nologically advanced, permanent installations in Australia and a first-of-its-kind for NSW registered clubs. “The outside of the Twin Towns building will become a dynamic architectural illumination, combining a customisable display of colour, movement and digital video imagery. “The high-resolution 17m x 5m screen consists of almost 800,000 pixels, with around 2.4 million LED’s providing an infinite colour range,” said Cuono. An accompanying digital lighting backdrop will wrap around the

‘cotton reel’, bringing the entire building to life.

recognised as the most spectacular border marker in Australia.”

“The Gateway to NSW project will take the vibrancy of what is happening inside the Club outdoors for all to see,” said Cuono.

The Twin Towns lightshow is expected to be completed by August/September 2017, and will run from 7pm to midnight, seven nights a week.

TWIN TOWNS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING TUESDAY 16 MAY 2017 AT 7PM.

ISSUE 478, May 2017 | 1

CLUBNEWS www.twintowns.com.au BOARD CHAIRMAN’S REPORT In the 60th Anniversary year of Twin Towns, we are planning our 60th Annual General Meeting to be held on Tuesday 16 May at 7pm in the Showroom, Level 5, Twin Towns Services Club. At this meeting, we ask members to receive and approve the Board Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 and the reports by Directors and Auditors thereon. Members may obtain a hard copy or an electronic copy of the Annual Report by written request to the Club’s Secretary. Members wishing to query any of the figures displayed in the financial statements are requested to make a submission in writing to the secretary at least seven (7) days prior to the Annual General Meeting. The board also asks that members consider and if thought fit, pass each of the Ordinary Resolutions to be moved by the Board of Management at our Annual General Meeting. These ordinary resolutions to be moved by the Board of Management are in accordance

with the requirements of the Registered Clubs Act and are put to members for approval annually. This year there are three outstanding nominations for Life Membership recommended by the board for members to consider having all provided meritorious service for over twenty years respectively. All three members have worked above and beyond expectations for members and in these individual cases, especially the community. The three members put forward by the board for consideration are Mrs Pat Lesina (Euchre Club), Director Dr John Griffin and past Director, Mr John Connolly. Sixty years ago, Mr Mick Winders OAM put forward the first Twin Towns Services Club Constitution for members to consider and approve. Since that time, the three chairmen respectfully, Mick Winders, Tony Mitchell and I with our numerous directors of the day, have altered, changed and adjusted that original constitution with members’ approval to grow and protect the club. Changes in the Legislation, changes for the

best interests of members, and changes to protect the club asset base have caused the original constitution to lose connectivity and balance of sorts. It is not practicable to try to modernise the existing constitution by putting up many separate resolutions to change parts. The proposed new constitution has to be considered as a whole. In October last year, the board chose to completely redraw the constitution. Since then, the Club’s advising solicitor Mr Mark Bolster, assisted by Mr David Kennedy of Sydney law firm Colin Biggers and Paisley, have collaborated with the full board and the executive, working tirelessly through multiple meetings to achieve the best constitution for all concerned going forward. As stated in the explanatory notes, the proposed new constitution for members to consider and approve at our AGM on 16 May consolidates the existing membership categories and clarifies and expands on a number of items in the existing constitution. This proposed new constitution also modernises the existing constitution by reflecting modern governance practices and using plain English drafting. The proposed new constitution does not change the broad thrust of the existing constitution. The proposed new constitution reflects the most pertinent current provisions of the Registered Clubs Act and the Corporations Act.

The board recommends that members vote in favour of the special resolution that the Club’s current Constitution be repealed and replaced in its entirety with the new constitution signed for identification by the Chairman on 16 May 2017 pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors. (Changing the Constitution by Special Resolution requires 75% acceptance of members in attendance). Members may view the Club’s existing constitution and the proposed new constitution on the Club’s website or by request to the Club Secretary. To access these materials via the Club’s website (www.twintowns.com. au) members may click on the ‘Membership’ tab on the website followed by ‘Member Login’ and enter their membership number and date of birth in the fields provided. If you require a hard copy please contact the executive office and this will be arranged. I am sure I speak for the board when I ask all members to please support your club at this year’s most important AGM on 16 May at 7pm in the Showroom, Level 5 at Twin Towns and immediately afterward in Stars. Brisbane National Governance and Management Congress In late March, a number of directors and senior management attended the above Congress and Expo at the Brisbane Convention Centre. This very well-attended conference put on by the Club Managers Association and Clubs Australia as

part of director and management ‘Continual Professional Development’ education, delivered some exceptional speakers with some profound messages as part of Good Governance and Due Diligence training and education for all in attendance. Speakers focused on how clubs may improve their appeal to future generations, innovation and board succession planning to improve the long term sustainability of our industry. The Exhibition Centre presented an Industry Trade Show showing the latest technology in a multitude of areas relative to clubs, as well as the latest and greatest in Clubs’ core business of poker machine technology. Overall, it was another inspiring conference for all delegates in attendance. Unfortunately, on the final day of the conference, Cyclone Debbie sent many a delegate running to escape the deluge which proved to be a major catastrophe, causing widespread devastation and tragically, loss of life. At this stage, we are assessing requests for assistance from some of our neighbouring Northern NSW clubs, which were extensively damaged in the weather event. We are endeavouring to assist and provide support to our Club friends where we can. I look forward to catching up at our 60th AGM and around our clubs.. Michael Fraser

Ladies Bowls at Club Banora In November 2016, Twin Towns Services Ladies Bowling Club celebrated their 32nd birthday. The first day of play on their greens was Melbourne Cup Day 1984, and since that day, they have been recognised as a very competitive club in the region. Every year, teams are selected to play in the GCTDLBA Pennant competition, together with challenges from other clubs in the district. Another keenly contested competition is the Cross Border Shield, which is held annually in January/February. Secretary Veronica Power is very dedicated to this competition and organises the teams. Her dedication was rewarded earlier this year and there was great excitement amongst the players when the ladies came in third; a great result for the Club.

ISSUE 478, May 2017

Membership improves each month due to encouragement by the committee and friendship of the members. New members are encouraged to enter competitions, which help them with their bowling and gives them confidence when playing in district and other Club events. The Ladies Bowling Club AGM was held in March, where members welcomed new President, Joy Johnson, and wished her a successful and happy year in the office.

Other 2017 office bearers are: Vice President Julie Johnson; Secretary Veronica Power; Treasurer Yvonne McKee; Games Director Judy Johnson; Assistant Treasurer Susan Sealby; and Assistant Games Director Maud Tate. Committee members are Bev Coleman, Madeleine Badger, Robin Boylan, Robyn Ralston, Sheryl Braden and Jocelyn Gerrish. Marie Ellis was appointed as a second patron to join with Hilary Schmidt. Championships commenced in March and will be played each week over upcoming months. Hilary

Special bowls days organised throughout the year include Australia Day, ANZAC Day, Easter Bowls, Koala Triples, Birthday Bowls, Patrons Day, Past Presidents Day, Presentation Day and Christmas Bowls Day. Many of these special days are sponsored and the Ladies Bowling Club members are most grateful for their sponsorship. Games Director is Judy Johnson, and after many years of dedicated

service, Judy is currently organising the play of championships and competitions for 2017.

Continued from page 1 “Over the past decade, the amount of pollutants and rubbish in run-off into the waterways has increased. “Water levels have increased exponentially as water courses from Banora hillside developments have changed and altered direction due to earthworks and landscaping by local residents,” said Mr Smith. Mr Smith explained that the Club’s obligations are to its members, and the waterway is needed to irrigate the Club’s golf course, bowls greens, and significant parklands and gardens that surround Club Banora, which are also home to an abundance of native birds and wildlife. Whilst there have been suggestions from some residents that the addition of saltwater to the moat would eliminate the problem of noxious weeds, this solution, says Mr Smith, is completely out of the question. “Tweed Shire Council acknowledges in their Deed of Agreement that Club Banora use fresh water from the waterway for irrigation and would have no practical or viable means by which to irrigate the land if saltwater intruded into the canal. “This would have a devastating effect on the Club’s sporting facilities, as it did in 1991 when a bund wall collapsed on a neighbouring property following earthworks by a local contractor, resulting in millions of dollars in

rectification works to the Club’s golf course. “Saltwater would also cause irreparable harm to local wildlife,” he said. Tweed Shire Council’s Management Plan recommends several strategies aimed at educating the local community about the environmentally-sensitive nature of the drainage system and how residents could assist in maintaining a clean and healthy waterway. “It may be timely for Tweed Shire Council to revisit some of those strategies in their management plan based around community education, such as letterbox drops and signage,” added Mr Smith. “This would certainly help residents understand how they can play a role in maintaining water quality and the reasons why maintenance can only be carried out at certain times of the year,” he said. The Management Plan suggests that the August-October period is optimal for works to avoid impacts on Combs-crested Jacanas breeding. Because of the toxic nature of herbicides, Mr Smith agreed with Council’s recommendation in the Management Plan that this kind of treatment should be considered to have a limited role in controlling weeds in the stormwater drains. Salvinia (Salvinia Molesta), a weed of hybrid origin that spreads vegetatively and can double its mass in 2-3 days, had been noted

in the western drainage network. Mr Smith applauded Tweed Shire Council’s biological control of this floating aquatic fern through the introduction of an ant-sized weevil (Cyrtobagous Salviniae), which proved successful in managing an outbreak in Club Banora’s moat. The weevil effectively kills the weed by feeding on the tips of the leaf and tunnelling through the plant stems. The Management Plan states that before carrying out aquatic weed maintenance within the canal network, Council’s environmental scientist or suitably qualified consultant would conduct a brief survey to determine the location of the birds within the canal network. Mr Smith said he was not aware of the results of any recent surveys conducted by Tweed Shire Council but assumed they were still committed to the comprehensive strategies included in their Management Plan. “It’s a long, complicated and environmentally-sensitive matter,” said Mr Smith, “and I hope this story provides members and residents with a better understanding of why we cannot undertake ongoing maintenance on the moat.” More information about the Banora Point drainage scheme can be found on Tweed Shire Council’s website: http:// www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/ BanoraPointDrainageScheme

Public holiday surcharge

For the first time in Twin Towns' 60 year history, Club stalwarts Nev and Pat Lesina look set to become the first husband and wife to share the honour of Life Membership of Twin Towns.

It is no secret that it costs substantially more to open any business on a public holiday because of the penalty rates that apply to these days.

At the AGM on 16 May, members will be asked to endorse a resolution which will see Pat Lesina granted Life Membership, along with Board Director Dr John Griffin and former Board Director John Connolly.

Twin Towns is a very labour intensive business and the impacts of opening every public holiday other than Christmas Day do come at a cost.

All of this year's nominees are worthy recipients, having each delivered more than 20 years of meritorious service to the Club in various roles.

Despite all the recent press around penalty rates, and even though the reported changes don't apply to clubs at all, the staff at Twin Towns are all employed under Enterprise Bargaining Agreements, which ensure if they work on a public holiday, a weekend or late, then they get paid correctly at the elevated rate.

Pat Lesina is a quiet achiever who has worked tirelessly in a voluntary capacity for many community organisations such as Meals on Wheels, Tweed Heads & Coolangatta RSL Women's Auxiliary and Bilinga Neighbourhood Watch. At Twin Towns, Pat has long been the lynchpin of various internal clubs including Twin Towns & District Garden Club and Twin Towns Euchre & 500 Club. Pat has held the role of President of the Euchre & 500 Club for over 20 years. Pat said she would regard it a great honour to be awarded life membership of such a prestigious Club. Husband Nev Lesina was awarded life membership for his services to the community and the Club in 2014. Former Tweed Shire Council General Manager and Twin Towns Board Director since 1997, Dr John Griffin, has served on various committees at Twin Towns, including Risk, Compliance, and New Projects.

Nev and Pat Lesina

He currently serves on the NSW Joint Regional Planning Panels, the Northern NSW Local Health District Board, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Board and chairs three Consultative Committees on behalf of the Department of Planning and Environment. Dr Griffin, a retired Naval Officer, is also the hard-working Secretary of the Tweed Heads & Coolangatta RSL Sub-Branch. John Connolly is a friendly and familiar face to Twin Towns members, management and staff alike.

www.twintowns.com.au | Ph: 07 5536 2277

John served as Board Director at Twin Towns for over 20 years and has played significant roles in many internal club committees over the past two decades. John's supportive and caring role as a volunteer with the Coolangatta & Tweed Heads RSL Sub-Branch sees him regularly carry out hospital and home welfare visits, always offering a friendly chat or a helping hand. John is well-known and highly regarded for his devotion to Twin Towns and commitment to the welfare of returned servicemen and women of Tweed Heads and Coolangatta.

In terms of trade, not every public holiday is equal. Some are quite busy and it makes it easier to absorb the increased costs of operations, but some are just like a normal day’s trade with a significantly higher overhead. To offset the costs on the quietest of public holidays, Queen’s Birthday in June, Labour Day in October and Easter Monday, from June this year the club will institute a 15% surcharge on these days. For hospitality businesses that do open on public holidays, a surcharge of this type is very common and we hope to be able to limit it to only these days in the future.

Sixty years on, the premise remains exactly the same As Twin Towns celebrates its 60th Anniversary in 2017 and this month holds its 60th Annual General Meeting, Club News has looked back in the archives to the notes that form the very first Annual Report. Written in 1958, this excerpt relates to Twin Towns’ first six months of trade. How clear it is that from the very outset, the guidance of the late HG (Mick) Winders in those formative years created a model for the Club that to this day is at the heart of its foundations. Members, through their support, have helped shape Twin Towns’ 60 year history of growth and success. As Mick Winders promised all these years ago, give us this

amenities here at the Club.

support and we will give you a Club you will be proud to be associated with.

The future of this club is entirely in your hands. If you wish it to prosper and so provide you with amenities you are unable to find elsewhere in the two towns then you must give it your full support.

7 March 1958 From the balance sheet, it will be seen that the Committee of management has embarked on a scheme for providing the Club and its members with more and more facilities as finances permit, and I think this has been a wise policy.

We are working in your interests, profits of the Club are being directed towards your comfort, you are the ones who therefore benefit from your own actions as far as the Club is concerned.

Generally, the Club quarters are a credit to us all, and from what we hear from our many visitors it is one of the best on the Coast.

Give us this support and I promise you the Committee of management will give you a Club you will be proud to be associated with.

Increased support from members will mean increased facilities for them to enjoy, so the ball is thrown back to you to get in and make it possible for your Committee to increase

Gillespie looks forward to meeting locals at the relaxed, laidback event at 1st on Wharf, which now has Byron Bay Brewery’s The Hazy One on tap.

“Beers that tested well in 1st on Wharf have also found their way to Breezes Bar & Lounge. People like to try something new and craft beers are very popular at Twin Towns,” he said.

There will be Sunday morning tennis on Mother’s Day on 14 May. Kerry

DIGGERS SWIMMING The biggest event of the year is always the AIF Championships. 450 swimmers from 27 clubs travelled to the venue at Grafton this year. Winning their age group were: Toni Cameron, Warwick Dredge, Jeanie McKenzie, Neil Burden, Kim Hawthorne. Kim also won the Ladies Open Breaststroke.

MENS BOWLS ANZAC day bowls went off very well with a good field. The day got off to a good start with a toddie or two under the belt, which put everybody in the ANZAC spirit. The Club Championships are well under way but the participation by members has been disappointing for the organisers. Brian and Alf have rounded up a number of players to participate in this year’s pennants which start in July. So let us give it our best shot and try and bring a pennant home. It has been quite a while since we have won a pennant! Thank you to those members who attended Frank Goodbun’s funeral. What a man he was. The contribution to many, many organisations he made throughout his life was outstanding. His work as Secretary of our club over eight years was exceptional – A ‘Doer’, not a sayer and one of nature’s gentlemen. R.I.P Frank, dear friend and gentleman. Good bowling, till next time. Blackers

EUCHRE & 500 Our card nights are held upstairs at Twin Towns Juniors Club on the corner of Leisure Drive and Fraser Drive Banora Point. 500 is played on Tuesday nights and Euchre on Thursday nights with both commencing at 7pm and finishing around 9.30pm.

Sheila Leiper 2nd and Carol Almond 3rd. In Euchre, there was a tie for 1st between Max Atherton and Jim Creek with Barbara Fox in 3rd place. If you would like more information about our games, please contact Pat Lesina on 07 5534 6188. Joker Judy

GARDEN Many thanks to John and Mary for hosting a morning tea at their garden at Hastings Point. The rain caused the Bromeliad flowers to stand out brightly and it all looked beautiful. April guest speaker was horticulturist, Kay Ball, and the subject was the therapeutic effect of maintaining a garden. Scientific studies have established that people gain more sense of satisfaction from their work if there are plants around them. Children especially enjoy a sense of achievement. “Every species of animal eats plant life - without plants we’re lost.” Garden Club members send all good wishes for a Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums reading this. The next meeting on 2 May commences at 9.45 am at Club Banora. This will be the 22nd birthday of Club Banora Garden Club. It’s a happy and friendly group where visitors are welcome. Call Maria Harry for enquiries on 07 5524 8234.

MASTERS SWIMMING We are back into training for our up and coming carnivals, so our coach Allaine will be busy with those wanting to compete. A BIG celebration is planned for our 30th Anniversary next year. From starting in 1988 at the Tweed City Shopping Centre Community Room under A.U.S.S.I. MASTERS, Twin Towns took us under their banner in 1991, hence we became Twin Towns Masters Swimming. We have much to be grateful for, especially the use of the Oasis Pools at Club Banora. Thanks to our Secretary of 20 years, Freda, I have included this interesting information, as my friends were surprised and no doubt many others would be as well. A great club, come and join as our motto is FUN, FRIENDSHIP and FITNESS. At the recent State and Nationals meet five of our swimmers won both silver and gold medals. Michael 7 Gold, 1 Silver, Leonie 3 silver, her first big major event and Ron 3 silver, 2 bronze. Our “George”, at 99 years, won ALL Gold, and still swims like a fish. These were all State results. Congrats to all. Ding Dong

FISHING The Fishing Club’s monthly comp for April was cancelled due to the floods. It is always too dangerous to negotiate flood waters of this kind for fishing or recreation. The deluge in the Tweed River has flushed the system and giving some life to the predators that inhabit the river. Plenty of Jewfish up to 5kg are being caught off the beach at Duranbah. Local bream, whiting and dart are being caught off the beaches and rock walls near the entrance to the Tweed. Locals are awaiting the arrival of the larger winter bream which are not yet in the river. There are good reports of mud crabs being caught with pots in the lower reaches of the Tweed. If you’re lucky you might get a glimpse of a few pods of bottlenose dolphins which are feeding on schools of fish off the southern beaches on the Gold Coast and Northern NSW. The next Fishing Club comp and BBQ will be Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 May. The club has rescheduled the monthly BBQ which was cancelled in April to the next comp day in May and again in June. Just a reminder that we have three boats free and available to club members for fishing and crabbing. Twin Towns Fishing Club is always looking for new members. Check out Twin Towns Fishing Club on facebook or go to www. twintownsfishingclub.com For more information call club President Rod on 5524 1160 or Treasurer Ferdi on 0414 812 907. Pisces

RUNNERS & WALKERS May is a busy month for most of our members with some serious training in hills and increasing weekly distances. Many members are competing in the Warwick Pentathrun which is five events over two days covering a marathon distance of 42.2km if all five races completed. It is always a fun, well organised event and we have over twenty members taking part or supporting. We are participating in the Broadbeach Mother’s Day Classic on Sunday 14 May as Lorraine’s Angels – remembering Charlie’s daughter who lost her battle with breast cancer earlier this year. We will be wearing specially designed t-shirts to commemorate the day and raise money for the family.

Big Murwillumbah flood appeal variety concert WATER UNDER The Fridge, that’s the catchy name for the Tweed Flood Appeal Variety Concert to be held at Murwillumbah Civic Centre on Wednesday, May 3. A cavalcade of stars are giving their talent and time to raise funds for the flood effort, with all proceeds going to the Mayor’s Flood Appeal. Leading the charge is the rollicking Round Mountain Girls, one of the North Coast’s most popular live acts. Their version of bluegrass rock ‘n roll will get the whole crowd up and dancing. They will be supported by the big, brassy sounds of the Brother Norton Band. Their powerful mix of blues, rock and funk will inspire the audience. Multi-talented R&B soul sensations Mohini Cox and Phil Eizenberg are well known for their seamless version of cool, while roots/rock guitar maestro Jerome Williams will set the night alight. Opera fans will delight at the performance of 12 vocalists

from Opera Gold Coast and the musical magic of international cabaret artist Simone Nicole. Court & Spark, My Figment and many more entertainers will be on show at a night you will long remember. The Water Under The Fridge action kicks off at 6.30pm on May 3 with plenty of food, drink and live music in the forecourt. As this is a flood fundraising event, all artists and workers are donating their time, so concertgoers are urged to dig deep to help those affected by the Great Flood of 2017. Water Under The Fridge - the Tweed Flood Appeal Variety Concert is a joint presentation by Rotary and Murwillumbah Theatre Company. Tickets: $25, with no concessions. Tickets are available from Electronics Murwillumbah or online via www.facebook. com/waterunderthefridge. Date: Wednesday, May 3 at 6.30pm Where: Murwillumbah Civic Centre

Amazing string sounds Murwillumbah Art Trail Tours to bring the visitors in ONCE AGAIN, the Gold Coast Chamber Orchestra

has shown us that not all fine music-making is confined to the capital cities. Last Sunday’s concert in Murwillumbah was an artistic success acknowledged by generous applause from an appreciative audience. Grieg’s popular Holberg Suite opened the program and it was clear from the first movement this string ensemble was in top form under the baton of Camillio Manricks, clean entries, smooth phrasing, admirable dynamic range and solid intonation. Less familiar pieces by Betty Beath and Kurt Atterberg displayed the same attention to detail. Fiddle and viola soloists Nigel Bardsley and Iris Doo produced lovely tone and phrasing in the Atterberg. Bartok’s Romanian Dances, in an arrangement for chamber strings, was played with appropriate gypsy vigour. The concert finished with Dag Wiren’s Serenade for Strings which, for this reviewer, was the highlight of the afternoon’s offerings, a polished performance indeed.

MURWILLUMBAH CBD businesses should expect a huge boost in trade during the week of the Murwillumbah Art Trail (MAT), May 25-30, with organisers expecting at least 3,000 people to visit the MAT exhibitions and many of them to take advantage of guided tours known as MATours. The MATours are designed for visitors to Murwillumbah who want to have the full MAT experience in a very short time. Tourists will enjoy Murwillumbah and MAT2017 through the eyes of a local guide. They will meet the artists, hear about the history and art deco architecture, dine at selected restaurants, drink good coffee, relax and have a laugh, and delight in the full MAT art and food experience. With nineteen sites confirmed for the MAT, the tour which incorporates morning tea and lunch is anticipated to take four to five hours. Small groups of up to twelve people will all be wearing “on tour” badges so businesses should easily be able to recognise them “When you go visiting a new town the best way to see the most of it is to take a guided tour,” organiser Natascha Wernick said. “These tours are designed for those who have never been to Murwillumbah and want to learn and see as much as they can in a short time.

“This is the opportunity to ask those aunties, uncles, cousins and friends from outside of Murwillumbah to visit. Invite them all! Let’s bring as much money to this town as we can during this time of recovery!” For more information and bookings go to www. themurwillumbaharttrail.com

Tweed Gallery exhibition celebrating light and colour

A MAN CALLED OVE

77080

From Sweden comes to town a heart-warming comedy-drama in the vein of films like St.Vincent or Gran Torino. Based on the best-seller novel by the same title, A Man Called Ove is the story of the quintessential grumpy old man next door, Swedish style. Recently widowed, Ove leads a very disciplined life, has strong beliefs and strict routines, is short-tempered and believes that everyone around him is an idiot – and has no qualms about telling them so. Ove drives a Saab - he would never buy a Volvo. He has developed a well-justified hatred for bureaucracy, however enforces his own in the neighborhood, where he used to be the chairman of the residents’ association until he was voted out - something that he considers a betrayal and which he can’t forgive. He is the terror of the area and continues to patrol the alleys and the walkways, blithely disposing of wrongly parked bikes and chucking shoes at stray cats. When a young family accidentally damages Ove’s mailbox while moving in next door, hell breaks loose... But from this inauspicious beginning an unlikely friendship develops and we gradually understand Ove’s personal history and that there is heroism and genuine goodness lying beneath his prickly exterior. The film’s underlying message is how unreliable first impressions are and a reminder that being needed is an essential human desire, and life is sweeter when it’s shared. The film - which in Sweden has been a phenomenal success, making it one of the most popular films ever – was one of the nominees for Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s Academy Awards.

AN EXHIBITION of artwork by Myocum artist Colleen DaRosa called “Slow Light… Celestial” opened at the Tweed Regional Gallery last Friday, April 21. Ms DaRosa said the vision for her exhibition originated on a road trip to central Australia, beginning at Uluru. “Artist Bruce Munro had just finalised his epic Field of Light installation of 50,000 LED lights at the base of Uluru,” she said. “Wandering through an array of shimmering colour in otherwise darkness, one experienced the deep poetic impact of the artist’s tribute to the Milky Way. My search for celestial light was ignited.”

Ms DaRosa’s art works are very deliberately constructed from layered hand-cut paper with a decisively minimal and abstract aesthetic. Slow light refers to the subtle glow of colour as one gradually encounters these works. The colour is cleverly created through reflection and no actual paint is seen. “When I use particularly strong pigments the effect is often the illusion of a light source within the work,” Ms DaRosa said. “My hand-rendered, meticulous construction using fine quality media also references aspects of the slow-art movement. The idea is that the longer the time spent looking at a work of art, the more likely it is to reveal its abundant treasures.” Tweed Regional Art Gallery Director, Susi Muddiman said the exhibition is as a result of the Gallery’s Community Access Exhibitions Program, which offers artists within the region an opportunity to present their work “Colleen DaRosa is a regional artist who is dedicated to the exploration of new ideas and techniques,” she said. “Her unique approach to the construction and presentation of these inherently colourful but poetic works will intrigue visitors as they move through the Gallery space.” The Gallery has scheduled a number of events in celebration of this exhibition. Join Dangerously Poetic Press for poetry readings from their publication Always the River on Sunday, May 7 from 2.00pm - 3.30pm On Sunday, May 28, from 2pm to 3pm all are welcome to join Colleen DaRosa in conversation with Anouk Beck, Curator - Public Programs, Tweed Regional Gallery, to discuss the artist’s process and motivation. Colleen will talk about her techniques, the nature of abstract minimalism and slow art.

ANZAC DAY CLASSICS.

They just keep happening. Roosters v Dragons was a beauty and Mitchell Pearce delivered on the big stage when his team really needed it. The reverence and feeling that is exhibited in both the games on Anzac Day is a wonderful tribute to those that have served, fallen and continue to protect our wonderful country. It’s always great to get to a march and ceremony and then enjoy a few ales and two-up afterwards to honour the diggers. I’m a Broncos fan through and through and remember many a time watching the champs with my Dad terrorise teams – but I did feel sorry for Souths after the weekend. I do believe they copped a raw deal with a few decisions and the better team

that says more about the Wests Tigers franchise as a club than anything else. The Grant Cook was an enthralling contest at Mullumbimby with the Giants getting away with a hard fought 16-10 win over reigning premiers the Mustangs. The presentation was a moving occasion and full credit to the Giants. Cudgen also may have made way for Ballina with the ‘favourites’ tag in the NRRRL competition with a 52-16 thrashing on the weekend and they Seagulls look to be the dominant force once again. The ladies League Tag Gala Day at Lismore was a huge success the concept looks to be taking off in the Northern Rivers for 2017.

lost. Michael Maguire did a brilliant job to not earn a $10k fine in his postmatch press conference. However, the skills of Milford and Oates exemplifies the quality of athletes we have in our game. Game of the round was probably Canberra v Manly and the Golden Point penalty goal was wonderful theatre. Dylan Walker certainly divides opinion and he got underneath the skin of plenty – lucky for him he had the last laugh. Once again we talk about the West Tigers circus and the fans ‘booing’ Aaron Woods. I personally have no dramas with it. The fans pay their money and are entitled to their opinions, they are like backsides and everyone has one. The ‘big 4’ is now one, and the others have left to improve careers not their bank balances and

New dentist settles into Smile Street practice Governor back to visit THE BEAUTY and lifestyle of the Tweed Shire continues to attract talented new people wanting to settle here including new dentist Doctor Annette Humplik, who recently joined the Smile Street team at South Murwillumbah. Dr Humplik (pictured) brings experience spanning more than three decades in dentistry and has recently left the fast paced life of the big cities to settle in a region she’s growing to love. “I first set eyes on the Tweed region in 2012, having come up here to deliver training,” she said. “My partner and I decided this is the place we would like to live in the longer term and so began our search for a lovely property of which we found in the hinterland. “I myself have been commuting between Melbourne and here until I could make the full transition - by finding a local job. “The wonderful opportunity to join the great team at Smile Street was made available and that was the transition complete. “I am extremely happy to have moved to this very friendly and beautiful region in Australia.” Dr Humplik said she has been fortunate thus far honing her skills in many different arenas. “I have practiced both in private and public for more than a decade in each, established and ran my own specialist practice in Melbourne for 11 years in the field of Prosthodontics,” she said. “I have worked internationally in Saudi Arabia and nationally in many different states including NT, Qld and Victoria, with both urban and rural experience. “I have also been involved in the education of dental students in undergraduate and postgraduate environments and continue to deliver Continuing Professional Development to dentists in their clinical settings. “I recently completed 15 years of service as a Specialist Prosthodontist at the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne.” Dr Humplik also offered readers an insight into life as a dentist and the advantages to regular check-ups. “The work of a Dentist is complex requiring a vast array of skills and knowledge,” she said. “The most rewarding is of course, relieving people of pain, which is very common in the general setting as many people try to avoid the dentist (understandably, we are not the most loved in the world), which is counterproductive as the old saying “a stitch in time saves nine” is most pertinent to dentistry. “Avoiding us, usually results in more catastrophic outcomes that cannot be treated and ultimately ends in the need for

extraction rather than restoration. “Small holes are better filled than large holes which weaken teeth substantially. “I have specialised training in complex dental rehabilitation that involves crowns, onlays, bridges, veneers and dental implants. “I find these treatments most challenging and also most rewarding, when one has the ability to impact on a patients’ dental health in the long term and their psyche (which can have life changing impacts). “We understand the cost of treatment can be prohibitive, that is why regular dental check-ups six-monthly is so important, so as to intervene when treatments are minimally invasive, as it is the complex invasive treatments that are the most expensive. “This is made easier today by Denticare, which is a thirdparty payment by installment arrangement for treatments over $1000.” To find out more book an appointment with Dr Annette Humplik at Smile Street by phoning (02) 8014 8686 or visit 2/232 Tweed Valley Way.

flood ravaged areas

NSW GOVERNER David Hurley AC DSC (Ret’d) along with Mrs Linda Hurley, honoured a promise to return to the Tweed on Wednesday, April 26, in support of those impacted by the recent disaster. The Governor and Mrs Hurley had made a previous commitment to return to the shire after a brief visit last month. Governor Hurley said they were moved by the community spirit and tireless work by the recovery agencies in their previous visit. “This is a monumental effort by the community that saw volunteers, businesses and residents unite to overcome the severe flood damage,” the Governor said. “The Northern Rivers community has done an inspiring job to date and I’m sure will continue to do so. Disasters like this remind us of the resilience and strength of our local communities.” The Governor also recognised that there still is a long road ahead, especially for small business and educational institutions that must replace lost or damaged equipment which are crucial in delivering their services to the region. “The people of the Northern Rivers area should be very proud of the work that they’ve done so far in recovering from the floods – but we know there is still a long road ahead,” the Governor said. “We’re here to make sure the local community knows that the whole of the NSW will continue to support them in the recovery and repairs in the months to come.” The Governor met with locals in Tumbulgum on Wednesday, April 26 and on Thursday (April 27) he was scheduled to visit Murwillumbah and Lismore to speak with various businesses, residents, educational institutions and Vice Regal patronage organisations affected by the floods.

Common Misconceptions -Eating cheese before bed gives you nightmares? Cheese is believed to give you more emotionally charged dreams but not necessarily nightmares. -Going out in the cold with wet hair will make you catch a cold is nothing more than an old wives’ tale. -Redheads are not going extinct. Genes do not go extinct. Recessive genes can be carried from generation to generation without emerging as a hair colour. -While it is believed that coffee comes from ‘coffee beans’, it is actually made from a seed which is called a bean. -Danish pastries actually originated in Austria, inspired by Turkish baklava. Their name comes from a Danish chef who popularised them in Western Europe and the United States in the early 20th century, including baking it for the wedding of US President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. In Denmark and much of Scandinavia, Danish pastries are called ‘Viennese Bread.’

Featured Business

Cabarita Mini Diggers. I have been involved in earthmoving and construction for over 20 years, operating a wide range of machines from loaders backhoes excavators etc in my early years. I got involved in mineral exploration in the 1980’s and moved into supervising and managing exploration drilling projects resulting in some major discoveries. I was responsible for all the earthmoving for roads camp construction and environmental controls both in Australia and overseas. My wife, Son and I relocated to Murwillumbah from Perth to chase my love of surfing around 2000. I decided to start a handyman business that I operated for 6 years. The call of exploration opportunities came along and I went back to fly in fly out. Just recently I decided to give up fly in fly out and try something I enjoy and can do local. So my wife and I decided to start Cabarita Mini Digger about 8 months ago. We do all limited access and general earthworks .We can do a wide range of jobs from Concrete preparation, Palm tree stump removal, drainage, Driveway repairs

Air Conditioning

and much more. We do small retaining walls and paving as well. We are a friendly family business who take pride in our work and making sure our customers are happy. We are fully insured with licensed operator with good well maintained equipment. For enquiries, You can find my Ad under the Excavation Section.

Community help for Brothers Leagues Club A SPECIAL fundraiser to help the Brothers Leagues Club bounce back from the recent Tweed disaster provided a much-needed boost for the club on Tuesday, April 25. The family fun day and Anzac Day event had a particular focus on local kids with plenty of entertainment, jumping castles and activities arranged to give kids a much needed smile. Adults were also entertained with music and games of two-up inside the club, with many thousands of dollars raised (a final total was expected to be announced later

this week). Event organiser Daniel Grey said the fun day was huge success. “We were amazed by the response from local residents, who came out in big numbers to support the Brothers Leagues Club and Colts Junior Rugby League Club,” he said. “I’d like to extend a big thank you to those that showed their support and took part in the day.” To find out more about the Brothers Leagues Club or to make a donation phone the club on (02) 6672 3982.

Bowls Notes THE AFTER affects from Cyclone Debbie are still causing problems out in Lawn Bowls Land, but are slowly being overcome. T.B.D.B.A. 2017 Pennant season scheduled to commence 1st April just didn’t get off the ground until Round Two on 8 April. Even then Condong teams were unable to participate due to clean up etc. priorities on the home front. In the spirit of good sportsmanship, District echelon deferred Condong’s games due to the circumstances at the time. These games, hopefully, will be played next Sunday. Round Three was completed with a full stable of teams in all Divisions. T.B.D.W.B.A. Pennant games for 2017 have been completed at long last after so many interruptions due to inclement

Cabarita has won the Grade 3 Flag with Brunswick Heads the Runners-up, and Byron Bay has taken out the Grade 4 Flag with Cabarita the Runners-up. District Novice Singles are currently underway at Condong B.C. with the final scheduled for tomorrow morning. Monday, 1 May, welcomes the beginning of the 2017 Women’s State Championship qualifiers with the Open and Senior Fours games to be conducted at Cudgen Leagues B.C. On the morning of April 1 this year, when flood waters had receded, Condong Bowling Club presented as a monstrous disaster zone. With the club house and greens covered in centimetres of mud, a formidable clean-up was

undertaken. Monday, 24 April 2017, just 23 days later, Condong B.C. celebrated the grand opening of their revitalised club. All of this thanks to the amazing assistance from various organisations, district clubs, members, and other volunteers who came out in force to lend a hand. A splash of paint, new carpets and furniture and Condong B.C. has come back brighter, stronger and better than before. For a wee bit of trivia – how about this? On 24 April 1977, 40 years ago to the date, Condong had another celebration – the grand opening of their new extensions to the clubhouse. What an unusual coincidence of dates! May this grand little club flourish in the years to come. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Tapped in to the waves with Terry ‘Tappa’ Teece

COOLANGATTA SURFER Kobie Enright has taken the win in the Sunshine Coast round of the Subway Junior Surf Series. For 18 years and under, the series is the stepping stone to the WSL Qualifying Series, with the winner of last year’s series, Ethan Ewing already on the Championship Tour. In the quarter finals a top seed super heat saw event favourite and 2016 World Junior Champion Macy Callaghan (Avoca Beach, New South Wales - current 3rd in World Qualifying Series) taken down by Gold Coast local Kobie Enright in a tight battle. Enright continued to impress the judges with her renowned combination of style and power to overcome Sophia Fulton, to clench the trophy. Sophia, a former South Coaster, lives and surfs in the Cabarita area, occasionally surfing with Cabarita Boardriders, but as she told me on the weekend, her allegiances are still with Ulladulla Boardriders. The weekend was all Kobie Enright’s, a strong performance during the whole event. “I’ve been taking it heat by heat all

day. The waves weren’t too during my heat so I was just hoping for the best waves.” Enright said. “I’m pretty stoked, this is the first final I’ve made at a Pro Junior this year. The Gold Coast is home for me so I’m really looking forward to the last event of the series in two weeks.” Enright moves to 5th on the WSL Australasian Junior rankings, with the top 2 girls and top 3 boys qualifying for the World Junior Championships. Local girls dominate the rankings, Alyssa Lock holding down the ratings lead, followed closely by 13 year old wonder-kid Zahli Kelly (A Cabarita Boardrider thru and thru), 3rd is Sophia Fulton. In the boys Reef Hazelwood of the Sunshine Coast has virtually wrapped up the series win, by taking out the final at Coolum, and the best placed Tweed surfer is Dextar Muskens, currently 8th in the rankings. The series wraps up on the Gold Coast at Duranbah on May 6th and 7th. In other news Kingscliff surfer Kelly O’Çallaghan placed runner up in the under 16 girls division at the Oz Grom Cup at Coffs Harbour last weekend. A great performance, and

the Tweed Coast kiddies are really nailing some results. This weekend the Grommets will be hitting North Stradbroke Island for Bede Durbidge’s Grom Shootout. I’ll will be up there to cover the action, and also hopefully get a few long ones at Cylinders.. Catch you in the waves!

First victory for Casuarina Bananas open season with win By Joshua Harman

By Brian Laybutt, Club President Casuarina Beach Rugby Club

IN AN historical event the Casuarina Rugby Club have now recorded their first ever win as a first grade club defeating Bangalow 20 -12 last Saturday, March 22. Travelling to Bangalow for their Round 3 clash, there was certainly an air of expectancy around the team. Casuarina started the game in dazzling form scoring two tries within the first ten minutes of the game. Both tries were a result of slick backline movements with incisive runs from both Adam Leach and Alo Qio setting up fullback Kai George who crossed the line twice. Taking a commanding early lead of 12 - 0 the Bangalow team rallied and played strong aggressive rugby. This led to two tries and Bangalow were well and truly back in the game at 12 all. Just before half time, Casuarina put on a dominate forward raid allowing scrum half Darcy McGregor to make a snipping run from the base of the ruck and score, leaving the half time result at 17 - 12. The second half saw Bangalow controlling the majority of the ball and this in turn placed enormous pressure on the Casuarina defence. Casuarina were up for the task, in particular hard working forwards Jack Pick

and captain Dan Heritage were rock solid in defence and loose forwards Jack Jones and James McMahon were continually applying pressure to the opposition inside backs. When Casuarina were able to get the ball they looked very dangerous with Alo Qio leading the charge in the backs and a number of forward rushes provided a glimpse into the real capability of this team. Bangalow had a number of opportunities to level the scores late in the second half but these were squander with simple handling mistakes. Webb Lillis was successful with his penalty goal in the 72nd minute of the game, which saw the lead extend to 8 points and seal the victory for the Casuarina team. In the three games played this season it is very evident that this fledging club is not just in the competition to make up numbers. The team has very good depth, a wealth of talented players and is now clearly growing in confidence. Casuarina will be playing their next home game this Saturday the 6th May against Southern Cross University. First grade will kick off at 3.30p.m. at the Casuarina Rugby Ground. Come along and support your local rugby team.

Mustangs narrowly miss out on winning Grant Cook Cup

SATURDAY WAS a big day for the Murwillumbah Bananas who hosted the Yamba Buccaneers to kick-off the 2017 rugby season. The Bananas were wearing a black arm band in honour of long time supporter and former committee member Nicky Moore who passed away from cancer recently during the floods. Playing without numbers on the bench, a weakened Yamba side came out with guns blazing from the start, placing plenty of pressure on the back three for the Bananas who managed to absorb it with ease. Winger Isaac Pollack scored an early try, which was followed by two strong tries from forward Michael Rossall, putting pressure on Yamba early in the first half. Winger Joshua Harman romped in for the Bananas fourth unanswered try just before half-time. The story after half time was a much

different one. Yamba came back into the game with a point to prove scoring three times in the second half to put themselves within range of snatching the win away from the Bananas. Leading 20-19 the Bananas managed one last miracle play to put the game to bed. Isaac Pollack returned a kick bumping off two defenders before going to ground and popping a perfect pass from the ground to centre Morgan Buchanan. Buchanan then drew several players before flicking the ball under arm, back to Pollack, who had regained his feet and was waiting to back up play. Pollack then out ran Yamba to score wide, securing a 25-19 victory for the Bananas. The Gentlemen of Murwillumbah ‘Bananas’ will play host to Iluka at home in two weeks, May 13 at 2pm. Rugby is back in Murwillumbah - so come down and support your local team.
