Youth Frontiers student to host “On Ya Bike Day” MURWILLUMBAH HIGH School, Youth Frontiers participant Conor Irvine loves mountain bike riding but was shocked when the bike track at Uki suddenly disappeared. So he decided to do something about it. He came up with the idea of holding an ‘On Ya Bike’ day to get kids involved. “The aim of the day is to get kids off screens and into the fresh air for fun, exercise and community” explained Connor’s Youth Frontiers mentor Greg O’Donnell. Together, mentor Mr O’Donnell and Conor have met with the Uki Residents Association, Tweed Shire Council

and local community facilitator Eddie Roberts to get support. The result is an engaging day that will include learning how to maintain your own bike, having input into a new mountain bike facility for Uki and a mountain bike skills clinic. Brain child of the project, Conor Irvine, says the day will be “totally awesome for kids up to 16 years old!” The “On Ya Bike” day runs from 11am to 2pm on Sunday, October 23 at the Uki Water Treatment Plant, Smiths Creek Road, Uki. For more information phone (02) 6679 4275.

4 Letters to the Editor Thursday October 6, 2016 Council is now left with the decision of whether to repair, replace or remove it and it is good news to read in your paper last week that they are now planning to undertake community consultation on the future of the Boardwalk rather than simply opting to permanently close it, as they had previously indicated. Let’s hope the Tweed community is heard on this issue.

Actions speak louder

I applaud the Tweed Valley Weekly for its commitment to giving a voice on important community planning issues and for attempting to illicit an educated and informative response from the Tweed Shire Counciol. For too long the Tweed Shire Planning Department have been heavy handed with community concerns and railroading contentious approvals that have enormous negative effect on communities and our environment. The Weekly is providing a levelling field by publicly allowing “people” a voice in contentious planning issues that affect them in a real and lasting manner. Hopefully Tweed residents will put a lot of thought about their voting in the council election. It is not what candidates say, but what they do, especially behind closed doors away from public scrutiny. Thank you. Barbara Downes, Urliup

Boardwalk is worth the cost of repairs

Designing and creating a good quality development is all about liveability and making the most of the natural features of the site. The Anchorage Island Boardwalk is a community asset created at the time of the development which has enabled many to access the mangrove shore without damaging it. It is loved by locals and has been maintained by Council now for years. It highlights the need for ongoing funds to be assigned for maintenance and upkeep of this type of community asset at the time they are approved.

In reply to Terry O’Toole (29/9/2016), the Black Rocks sports field was not gifted by the developer. It is located within the 106ha west of the Black Rocks estate which was offered to the Tweed Shire Council in 2002 in exchange for the developer being able to build on a ‘finger’ of vegetation which would have placed significant constraints on developing the Black Rocks estate. The land west of the estate is very low, flood prone and located within an environmental zone where the minimise lot size is 40ha. On this basis the 106ha would have yielded only 2 saleable lots, whereas clearing the ‘finger’ of vegetation provided opportunity for comparatively higher priced smaller lots. Terry O’Toole should check out the Tweed Coast Koala Habitat Study 2015, which reveals that the Black Rocks sports field is surrounded by core koala habitat with significant koala activity. He also might like to ring Council, Friends of the Koala, Currumbin Wildlife Hospital and Australia Zoo to find out about the many koalas that have lived, died or been released after treatment for stress-related disease in the koala habitat in the vicinity of the sports field. These are the facts, not lies. The ‘prison-like’ gates were installed as a result of Cr Longland’s attempts to remove the existing koala protection gates and replace them with a grid against the advice of ecologists, Council’s Koala Advisory Committee, the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage and the Environmental Defenders Office. Koala protection gates are necessary to protect the endangered koala population which resides and breeds at this

site. There are 3 other sports fields in Pottsville. Why is Mr O’Toole promoting a high order sporting facility at Black Rocks in the middle of a koala corridor? A better proposal, which is supported by koala expert Dr Steve Phillips, is to exchange land earmarked for revegetation in the proposed Dunloe Park development with the Black Rocks sports field so that it can be revegetated instead. This could be a win for koalas, the community and the developer. Dave Norris, Pottsville

I hear you Ron on bat colony stresses

Congratulations, Ron. Brilliant letter. Yes, you tell it as it is. Unless you live near a Bat Colony, you have no idea, and that’s the way it is with Council. I have been writing to Council and to NSW Government for nine years now and I’m continually told “they are endangered” or “you just have to learn to live with them”. Well they are certainly not endangered; they are multiplying every year. Bray Park camp did lessen over the winter months, and all the native birds returned to the area and the trees regenerated, but now the camp is growing again and once again we are subjected to noise and stench. Yes, Legislation was passed for council to do something, so when is our council going to do something. They acted and moved the camp in Frangella Drive and said they were going to act on the other camps in the shire. When is it going to happen? Eunice Higgins, Bray Park

Group vows to save Anchorage Boardwalk

As a member of a group petitioning to save our Tweed Heads Boardwalk at the Anchorage Island, I and many other Tweed residents and visitors believe that the saving of the Boardwalk should be made a priority. It was good to see council’s statement: “Council is actively exploring options to retain the boardwalk in the short term as well as the maintenance that will be required in the longer term”. It was also pleasing that the council officer advised: “Council officers continue to liaise with

members of the community and the structure will not be removed before a further report can be prepared and presented to the councillors” Our group has been heartened by the community response to our petition, that the saving of the Tweed Heads Boardwalk at Anchorage Island should be made a priority. To date more than 350 online and hard copy signatures have been obtained and it is expected that more signatures will be presented at our next meeting with the newly elected council. Council’s statement also advised: “Council undertook a more comprehensive campaign to evaluate the level of community usage of the walkway at Razorback Park and its level of priority for the community” “In the case of the Anchorage Island Walkway council received only a couple of calls about the closure”. We consider that council’s engagement communication with the Tweed community about the Tweed Heads Boardwalk at Anchorage Island’s proposed closure failed because there was not the same degree of public consultation as with the Razorback Park walkway repair. Now in council election mode, two councillor candidates have taken an interest in our petition and hopefully other councillors seeking election, will do likewise. Please sign our further petition to Tweed Shire Council (change. org) to allow the repair of our Tweed Heads Boardwalk at the Anchorage Island and not allow its demolition this November by a newly elected Tweed Shire Council. Richard Heads

Tweed

What’s the Pottsville Men’s Shed focus

One might be forgiven for thinking Michael Ryan’s focus is a personal political agenda rather than the best interests of the Pottsville and District Men’s Shed of which he is president. Having failed to silence members trying to secure a superior central permanent site by banning discussion, intercepting private communications to block the flow of information. Backtrack two years and Ryan was the only Shed member not in favour of Lot 3, but then the Shed claimed 80 members. It’s now down to 32, with several threatening to withdraw if a

move to Black Rocks proceeds. It seems public money and community land is being used to support some 26 who support Barry Longland’s push for development to justify Council’s ill-conceived expenditure on a grossly inappropriately located sports field. And it’s worrying that Ryan is a strong supporter of a lobbyist with commercial real estate interests. Environmental issues aside, Black Rocks is not a suitable place for a Men’s Shed that seeks to facilitate socialization and integration of men into the community. Despite Ryan’s unfounded claims about timing, it is estimated a DA for Lot 3 could be in place in less than a year. Crown Lands guarantee response to a proper application (which has never been submitted) within 5 weeks. The opportunity exists, by exercising just a little patience, for a permanent Men’s Shed in an ideal central location - a Shed that will meet the needs of the entire male community rather than those of a small group whose current conduct excluding members who disagree with the president and banning free speech - fulfils none of the aims or objectives of a Men’s Shed and might be endangering rather than supporting Men’s Health. Lorraine Cobcroft, Pottsville

I have high hopes for the next council

This current council has no longer a mandate or role on deciding on the Men’s Shed location issue at Black Rocks. Further to this, over the last 12 months this Council should have been bending over backwards to stop the extinction of koalas. Instead I have observed the opposite. Let us hope our new Council will have a better record on balancing decisions on environmental and people needs in an ethical, sustainable, socially responsible and effective way.

Councillors to decide next step at BP Service Station Chinderah PLANS TO expand the BP Service Station at Chinderah could be denied by Tweed Shire Councillors this week following five years of a back and forward exchange between BP Australia and Tweed Shire Council that has reached a critical point. Council’s Planning Team have this week called for the $4.5 million service station expansion to be “refused” on the grounds that BP has failed to address key issues such as impacts to surrounding homes, noise concerns and the removal of koala habitats. There’s also been a growing list of other concerns including BP’s use of Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads guidelines when assessing traffic conditions and not the required NSW Roads and Maritime Services guidelines - being that Chinderah is in the state of NSW. Councillors will meet today (Thursday, September 6) to determine whether to accept council’s recommendation and refuse the application to expand the BP Service Station which is located at 1 Ozone Street, Chinderah (pictured). Alternatively, Councillors could give the BP service station more time to address areas of concern or to workshop ways to improve the site’s application, however several extensions have already been granted. The development application to expand the BP Service Station was first submitted in November 2010 and is seeking two new truck refuelling bays as well as 30 (originally 36) new parking bays for trucks, according to council planning documents. Since that time Tweed Shire Councillors have been actively seeking further information from the applicant to address specific concerns including the ecological, traffic and noise impacts of the proposal. Council planners have recommended the development be refused by planners in 2012 and 2014 due to BP’s subsidiary failing to address the site-impact concerns, but on both occasions councillors deferred a decision to allow the company more time to respond. In August this year councillors called for a further report that offered greater detail as well as a recommendation from council planning staff. However, the latest plans have again failed to address ecological, traffic and noise impacts despite council staff going above and beyond to accommodate the site with

time. It is no surprise therefore that the recommendation is for refusal. Its noise report also falls short according to Tweed Shire Council Planning Director Vince Connell who said the application had ‘failed to acknowledge’ homes closer to the site and ‘fails to address noise generated by the braking of trucks on the adjoining motorway when entering the site’. In his report, Mr Connell said the BP Service Station had “expended an extensive amount of Tweed Shire Council staff resources” on it “without any immediate prospect of resolving the outstanding matter”. BP Australia was contacted for comment and media representative told The Weekly BP wanted to wait for council’s decision before issuing a statement. YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe the BP Service Station at Chinderah should be given more time to address council concerns and proceed with the expansion? Send your thoughts and letters to editor@theweekly.net.au

Kevin’s back to contest Tweed Council election

FORMER Tweed Shire Council Mayor Kevin Skinner is back and hopes to secure one of seven councillor positions in the upcoming October 29 election. It was a surprise nomination after Mr Skinner kept his intentions quiet from local media, but appeared on the ballot last Thursday (September 29) following the draw. He has since spoken to The Weekly and revealed his plans to shake up local politics and bring an end to what he says is “constant bickering”. “As a former councillor and small business operator I want to work with council to create a future for my grandchildren so they will be able to find employment in our shire,” he said. “I want to see councillors lead by example and stop the never ending bickering that presently takes up most of their council meetings.” Mr Skinner said he has a range of valuable skills to offer and hope to apply an honest and hardworking approach. “Why vote for me: I’m experienced, hardworking, honest and approachable,” he said. Mr Skinner highlighted some of his accomplishments as well as one idea that fell flat. “Among my accomplishments during my previous time as a councillor include better street lighting in Kiata Parade, Tweed Heads,” he said. “On the downside would be the inability to convince all councillors that a kid’s motorbike training facility was a worthwhile use of a closed rubbish dump.” Mr Skinner said he was keeping his campaign slogan simple and hope to be a reactive councillor who works to fix issues immediately. “My message is to be pro-active not re-active. Fix identified problems before someone is killed, unlike our black spot funding which we rely so heavily on and is determined by accident records for example the roundabout at Cudgen Leagues,” he said.

Long lost GoPro reunited with happy owners Could Tweed benefit IF YOU’VE ever lost a camera or GoPro while travelling then you know the heart sinking feeling that you’ve just lost an entire trip’s worth of images and memories. But sometimes, with the help of honest caring people, you are reunited with your camera and that’s exactly what happened in this case. Incredible luck has struck twice for a couple of Dutch travel bloggers who experienced a great Australian road trip to retrieve their long-lost GoPro that was found by a Tweed Heads stranger on a Gold Coast beach. The finder was Sharp Motor Group Tweed Heads marketing manager Tamara Johansen who enlisted the help of her boss Stephen Howlett, Holden Australia and travel app Leezair to reunite the bloggers, Alex Malone and Thijs Van Gerwen, with their GoPro and its precious travel footage. After finding the GoPro on a Gold Coast beach and realising the quality of its footage, Ms Johansen used her media skills to track down its owners via social media channels and then attracted the interest of local and national media outlets. A friend of the bloggers, who was living in Vietnam at the time, eventually identified the couple from the footage and contacted Ms Johansen, putting her in touch with Alex Malone and Thijs Van Gerwen, who blog for online travel magazine storyofmyworld.com. Rather than just popping the GoPro in the post, the parties have made it possible for the travelling couple to take the wheel of an uber-cool Holden Cascada convertible and embark on an all-expenses paid epic 13day exploration of Australia’s east coast, culminating in a reunion at the Sharp Motor Group dealership in Tweed Heads on Wednesday, October 5. The road trip stretches almost 2000km from Victoria’s breath-taking Great Ocean Road to the lush and subtropical NSW-Queensland border, allowing the couple to experience some of Australia’s most spectacular sights and adventures before retrieving their long-lost camera. Ms Johansen said she was excited to finally meet the couple in person and hand over the GoPro which she found wedged in wet sand at Broadbeach after Ms Malone dropped it in the surf at Surfers Paradise almost two

months prior. “A lot of things had to go right for this reunion to happen; the camera washed up on the beach rather than drifted out to sea, I picked it up and managed to track them down, and I work for a company that could reunite them with it in a meaningful way,” she said. Sharp Motor Group dealer principal Stephen Howlett said the idea for the tour had grown out of the unique set of circumstances that the GoPro’s discovery had uncovered. “Once we knew the background of the owners and the calibre of the footage on the camera, we realised that Tamara had found the missing link of their travels so far,” Mr Howlett said. “Rather than just posting it to them, we were able to get Holden and Leezair on board so that we could make a fantastic trip out of it for them and help out Australian tourism at the same time. “We’re so pleased we’ve been able to assist and that Holden were also keen to be involved in this way.” Ms Malone said they loved swapping their usual fourwheel drive vehicle for the sleek and luxurious Holden convertible for the road trip north. “This is something else - we opened the roof, had the wind blowing through our hair and the seat heating on full power,” she said. “Because of Tamara, and thanks to Holden and Leezair, we are not just doing a trip from A to B but having the best experience in every place we stop. “We will be skydiving, kayaking under Sydney Harbour Bridge, riding quad bikes in the dunes close to Newcastle and swimming with turtles in Tweed Heads. “Something that I am very excited about is that we will also be going to a retreat in Nimbin where we will visit secret areas around the valley with the local Aboriginal community to learn more about their culture and stories.” The bloggers’ ‘GoPro Reunion Tour’ features stopovers in The Great Ocean Road in Victoria through to Canberra, Sydney, Newcastle, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour and Northern NSW, with their other planned experiences including surfing, gourmet cuisine, whale watching and a pampering spa day.

from a ward system

COULD THE Tweed Shire follow in the footsteps of Byron and Lismore and become a ward system by the 2020 election. It’s a plan several current Tweed Shire Council candidates are pushing including Kaye Sharples, a senior secondary school teacher and Tweed Heads resident, who ran a group in the 2012 Tweed Shire Council elections securing 4.7 per cent of the primary vote. Kaye’s objective was to divide the shire into three geographical wards with three Councillors elected to each. “This will allow more effective representation of people’s interests in their particular Ward,” Mrs Sharples said. “People want to know and develop relationships with their local Councillors.” All our adjacent Councils, Byron, Ballina and Lismore, elect their Councillors in this way with no reported problems. Mrs Sharples said the Tweed Shire population in 2020 will reach around 110,000. “It is impossible to expect a Councillor to have the capacity or the local knowledge to address concerns from all parts of the Shire,” she said. Kaye says right now the majority of those who run for office are people with money and big party backing, “so we constantly finish up with two political sides on Council”. “This is what leads to all the vitriolic bickering that our community is so sick of,” she said. “When you are elected from 15,000 people you are accountable to them and work very hard at being proactive in the area to act on any resident concerns. “Inappropriate things don’t get rushed through because there are more voices to be heard and more issues brought to the table. Another benefit of the ward system will be to reduce the influence of major political party allow for greater local democracy.” “Wards means more power to the people,” she said. “Our group would love to hear your views on this important change.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe the Tweed Shire could benefit from a ward system?

Breakfast Club for hungry young minds TWEED STUDENTS stressing over their up-coming Higher Education Certificate (HSC) exams are invited to attend an innovative new local “Breakfast Club” to give students the best start to their day and keep their minds on the task ahead. The “Big Brekky” will take place from 7:30am on Thursday, October 13, at the Murwillumbah Youth Centre and will mark the start of a new community-based youth initiative. The Murwillumbah Breakfast Club will operate at the Youth Centre in Knox Park every Thursday from 7:30am to 8:30am during school terms. Murwillumbah Community Centre Manager Wendy Constantine said The Breakfast Club was a concrete outcome from a meeting of local community-based agencies that looked at ways to better co-ordinate their efforts to support young people. “It was great to see that local agencies are so keen to work together more effectively” she said. Staff from local agencies will be rostered to organise and serve the breakfast with young people encouraged to get

involved. “It is anticipated that agency staff will be able to step back into more of a mentoring role over time so that this truly becomes a youth initiative,” Mrs Constantine said. Murwillumbah High School relieving Principal Michael McNamara is a big supporter of the Breakfast Club and said it was a great start in creating a collaborative model towards youth services. “Research shows that a good breakfast is a great start to the day for students and maximises their engagement with learning and success at school,” Mr McNamara said. “I think it is great that local community agencies are actively looking at ways that they can better co-ordinate their activities and work together in a more cooperative way to support young people.” Local businesses and food outlets who would like to support the youth Murwillumbah Breakfast Club initiative can contact Mrs Constantine at the Murwillumbah Community Centre on (02) 6672 3003 from Monday to Thursday.

some time, with a silly giggle, he admitted that it had been all been a set-up – which only made matters worse.” Mr Piper and Mr Gleeson said Chester’s favourite saying “sometimes we argue and sometimes we disagree, but we would always leave as friends”. Below is a collection of images of Chester during his younger years:

75603

TWEED LOCALS recently celebrated the life and times of lovable larrikin Alan Miller Creagh, better known as “Chester”, who passed away at age 86 on August 20 this year. Friends of Chester’s, Roy Gleeson and Allan Piper, visited The Weekly recently to pay homage to their good mate and to inform the community of his passing. Mr Gleeson said Chester was somewhat of an institution in the Tweed Valley, having been a telephone engineer for PMG and became a well known Tweed Valley local. Chester was born on May 11, 1930, in Gloucester and was the third son of Ernest and Olga Creagh. “Chester showed great interest in building and tinkering with batteries and other electrics,” Mr Gleeson said. “Long before the advent of Lego, Chester was making all sorts of things with meccano. At one time he repaired an old broken alarm clock, got it working again and used it to power a meccano built crane.” Chester moved to the Tweed after brief stints in Sydney, Katoombe, Narrabri and Newcastle. While in Murwillumbah, Chester worked with a range of telephone support technicians in 1961 including Bob Yates, Keith Overy, Les Simpson, Keith Smith, Jim Devine, Dick Wiles, Jim Young, Ron Barker, Merv Gorton, Jim Malpress and Roy Gleeson. “He really loved life on the Tweed,” Mr Gleeson said. “It felt like home for him and it’s where a lot of his friends and work colleagues ended up.” Chester was known for his skills as a technician, but it was hit quirky sense of humour and quick wit that his friends remember most. “Not many years ago, he spoke to his brother John’s children and asked them what he could talk about that would really upset John and make him argumentative,” Mr Gleeson said. “Both kids told him to talk about Peter Garrett not as the entertainer but as a politician. “So, over a barbecue lunch Alan started to laud Peter Garrett, not only as a great politician but as a great Australian. “John, as a lifetime conservative, took the bait and became quite heated in his negative appraisal of Garrett. All the while Alan remained calm and collected and after

The unspoilt beach and surfing playground by Terry ‘Tappa’ Teece THE BEAUTIFUL Tweed Coast stretches from the Tweed River to the Brunswick River and is one of the most unspoilt coastlines on the planet. Although the northern cousins on the Gold Coast have the reputation as surf city, there are some serious quality waves that work on wide and varied weather conditions that can please from the beginner surfer to the most serious saltwater-rat in the family. There are several point breaks and some secret reef breaks (No names and I will be safe), that offer up waves that have helped produce some quality surfers, including two World Champions. Fingal is a unique area to the indigenous people and to all those who visit. The locals still insist that when Duke Kahanamoku visited Australia, local people saw him at Coolangatta, whilst they had been surfing for generations prior at Fingal. With the talent shown by local Fingal brothers Kyle, Aaron, Josh & Joel Slabb (Banaam) there seems to be little doubt in this story. Kingscliff is a beautiful coastal village with some fun beach breaks (Check out the front of the bowls club), and a very underrated sand bottom point, home of the Malfunction event which is also part of the World Longboard Tour held each March. Kingscliff is also the home to the current Women’s World Surfing Champion Stephanie Gilmore, and Australia’s first ever World Champion Phyllis O’Donnell (pictured below). In 1965 Phyllis won her World Crown at Manly Beach, and because the Women surfed before the men, Phyllis was announced World Champion before Midget Farrelly.

The local club Kingscliff Boardriders have their distinctive sundial symbol in yellow and black colours given to them by 1980’s legend band The Sunnyboys. They were locals and lead singer Jeremy Oxley was also a former Australian Schoolboy Surfing Champion in the late 1970’s. The stretch of beach from Casuarina to Cabarita has beach breaks galore, and plenty of room to get a wave to yourself. Cabarita is well known since the 1960’s with the longboarding fraternity, once upon a time the point was known as Bogangar, and is home to the Cabarita Boardriders. Cabarita Boardriders have come on in leaps and bounds making the final of the 2016 Surfing Australia Boardriders Battle, and their most famous son, Chris “Chippa” Wilson can often be seen flying above the waves at Cabarita, Chippa well known as one of the World’s best aerial surfers. Cabarita Headland is a great place for beachgoers to visit and shelter from the prevailing winds. Hastings Point and Pottsville have some great breaks, many of them secret spots, where if you are respectful, have a bit of a look around, you can find some quality waves without too many people. Hastings Point has some great options whichever the way the wind blows, and is a favourite with swimmers and beachgoers alike. Stretches of beautiful white sandy beaches, where you can feel like you are in another world away from the hustle and bustle of the Gold Coast just up the road. The Tweed Coast is a gem, waiting for you to discover. Remember to respect the locals and the environment, the only thing to leave on the beach is your footprints.

Solar Bonus Ends This Year! Disease thrives in inequality Advertisement

says Dr Jimi Wollumbin

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 expire at the end of 2016, leaving solar owners with 4 - 6 cents for each kWh exported after then. 20,000 homes in the Northern Rivers will have to install new meters 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. They can install additional solar panels and battery storage now, to cover all of your daily energy use, slashing power charges.

Every cent of the Solar Bonus generated by your existing system is collected right up until the end of the scheme, when both system are combined. Your new hybrid solar system allows greater independence and typically pays for itself in 3-5 years. 888 Solar Tek tailor the new solar system around your existing equipment and provide 12 months free monitoring and support. If you have very low electricity usage you may choose to go off the grid altogether to eliminate fixed supply charges that make up most of your bill. 888 Solar Tek have new technologies that can operate both on and off the grid. This makes staged transition to energy self-sufficiency cost effective and avoids costly equipment change-over.

THERE’S A healing clinic set in the rainforest in Uki where Dr Jimi Wollumbin a practioner of natural health for the past 20 years lives consults and teaches better health through natural and traditional healing methods. He is highly qualified and motivated with many degrees and a range of health qualifications. He was also a speaker at the 2010 United Nations conference in 2005 and he became the founder of the One Health Organisation this has involved working with community groups across the globe to help them regain control of their health. His work is recognised by the UN worldwide and it operates in many countries. Here in Australia when not practicing he’s busy assisting a Youth in Crisis Outreach Program or Asylum Seekers Health and Wellness Initiatives and many others. When overseas he’s involved in many community health and international aid projects in countries such as China, North India, and an Abandoned Childrens Project Myanmar. Raised in Uki he was brought up by parents interested in natural health and environmental protection. “Growing up my parents were both school teachers interested in political issues such as human rights,” he said. “Meal times were also discussion times where topics from local to worldwide were normal, so I had a pre-disposition to being actively involved in our community and helping others. “So, I grew up with an empathy and desire to help others. Since what we eat and drink affects our whole body, I decided to study to be a Doctor and spent many years gaining qualifications with my focus on Traditional Chinese Medicine. “My studies took me to India and Tibet

to study ancient healing and natural approaches. “An ancient practice dating to biblical times is the use of leeches. It would surprise most people to know that leeches are used in 22 hospitals in NSW and were regarded as helpful for rheumatic conditions because of the reduced blood flow, I also use them in my practice under certain conditions. “My treatments also include many herbs which I grow and use in my practice. “I spent a lot of time with very poor communities and I was aware of the gulf between our lives and theirs. “There are many seasonal epidemics but the one that concerns me most is the disease of inequality. “The gap between rich and poor is an ever expanding chasm that too many people both overseas and here are falling through, this leads to instability in our societies. “I’m always learning and this has taken me to ‘The Tibetan Medical Institute’ Daramshalah/Ladakh, Mexico, Beijing, China and India numerous times, the Philippines and Myanmar. “In Asian Hospitals their patient care emphasises compassion as they regard this as the cornerstone of effective treatment and together with hope it’s a very important part of their health recovery.” And in 2010, Dr Wollumbin (pictured below) addressed the United Nations on the topic of ‘ Intergrative and Rights Based Approach to World Health’ which resulted in him successfully lobbying to change the recommendations later submitted to the General Assembly. “We cannot remedy with pills that which has been perpetrated with legislation and ignorance,” he said. “Here Australia, the lucky country, the gap between poor and rich is an ever expanding chasm that too many people are falling through. Disease thrives in the presence of inequality.”

Driver accelerates into house

Emergency services were called to Durigan Place, Banora Point, following reports a car had crashed into a house.

for precautionary checks but she has since been sent home The Tweed District Rescue Squad assisted Police and tow trucks to recover the vehicle, which was in a precarious position.

THE PARIS Motor Show has unveiled several new concept cars this week and the world’s oldest car manufacturer has revealed plans to produce a range of electric models by 2025. Mercedes Benz is investing in a new EQ electric vehicle range and there’s plans to have ten electric cars available in less than ten years. The first is expected to be a mid-sized SUV based on the brand’s Paris star, the Generation EQ concept pictured. Coming to Australia in 2019 priced from around $90,000, the production version won’t look too different to this curvy concept, which is propelled by a pair of electric motors belting out 300kW. It has a 70kWh Lithium battery pack, good for a Tesla-rivalling 500km range. There were plenty of other surprises from Paris including the Hyundai RN30, with its its swing-wing doors, pumped wheel arches and race-car aero body kit, the Hyundai RN30 almost stole the show in Paris.

Sweet Talk with Robert Hawken

Cane harvest passes halfway mark CANE PLANTING is now well underway, with some growers already finished. Each year several new cane varieties are released to growers. These varieties are propagated locally, in what is called the ‘clean seed plot’. These fields are located adjacent to Condong Mill and contain cane that is free of any disease. Growers can purchase this cane in billet form or whole stalks for planting into designated, clean plant nurseries on their own farms. From here the growers can source most of their planting materials in following years. The ‘clean seed plot’ is provided to the local sugar industry by the Agricultural Services Department. Each grower pays a levy to fund this service and many other functions carried

out by the Ag Services Department. Growers are now making the most of the finer weather and the harvest is currently at 55 per cent completed. Last week 27,549 tonnes of cane were crushed at an average crushing rate of 185 tonnes per hour. CCS levels are currently averaging 12.4 and ash levels are at 2.1 per cent on average. Fertilizing and weed control are now underway with the advent of warmer Spring weather. Nitrogenous fertilizer in the form of Urea is the most commonly applied nutrient. This is placed below ground level, into the root zone of the cane plane at a depth of approximately 100 to 170mm. Small amounts of potash and phosphate are sometimes applied if soil tests indicate a deficiency. However, Condong soils are quite fertile and generally in good health.

“Sugar tax could hurt local growers” says Sunshine Sugar CEO Chris Connors

WANTED Qualiﬁed Baker Baker Assistant Apprentice Baker

SUNSHINE SUGAR CEO Chris Connors has slammed suggestions that an Australian sugar tax would curb obesity rates when in fact he believes it will do nothing but impact cane growers’ bottom line. “As with most things in nutrition it’s about a balance and how much exercise you have. It’s pretty simple but that’s just way too sensible for some,” he said. “We now have the suggestion of a sugar tax because we can’t manage our own dietary requirements. “The arguments put forward about the modest impact ($500 million) and redirecting funds to sport or health programs shows a complete lack of understanding of what will happen if a tax is introduced on sugar.” Mr Connors said the grower was the one who would foot the bill for a sugar tax. “The $500M will come out of grower pockets into government coffers,” he said. “It may get spent on health programs but surely we shouldn’t be taxing the farmer again because we can’t take responsibility for our own eating habits.” Mr Connors said although the issue was a national problem, Tweed local growers

would be among the hardest hit. “Our local growers are going to be comparatively hardest hit as we generally supply all of our sugar (250k tonnes) to the domestic market,” he said. “When it comes down to the impact, the local industry is going to be the big loser and I would hope that all parties (including our local representatives) understand that and consult before making these type of decisions. “We are pretty proud where our local industry has progressed and we are the only sugar industry in the world which is Bonsucro (sustainability, environment, community, human resource etc) certified from grower, through miller, refiner to customer. Surely that deserves support.” Meanwhile, There’s growing confidence among Australia’s sugar producers due to the strength in global sugar prices according to a survey by agribusiness banking specialist Rabobank.

Tiny homes make big impact with winning designs THE RECENT Sustainable House Day Expo and Tiny Homes Design Competition was a great success with more than 1,500 people attending the Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Saturday, September 17. Tiny homes are becoming more popluar as more people choose to downsize the space they live in. Tiny houses come in all shapes, sizes, and forms, they enable simpler living in a smaller, more efficient space. People are joining the movement for many reasons, but the most popular reasons include environmental concerns, financial concerns, social inclusion and the desire for more time and freedom. Pocket neighbourhoods are multiple tiny homes clustered together around a shared open space such as a garden courtyard, a pedestrian street, a series of joined backyards, or a reclaimed alley, designed to promote a close knit sense of community and neighbourliness. “A Tiny Home in footprint is far smaller than a traditional home and is sustainable in the sense that we have only used as much room as we need and as little building materials as possible. Add simple design criteria with creative and talented local designers and we should have a fantastic array of designs to choose from” said Event Coordinator, Sandi Middleton, from The Sustainable House Day Northern Rivers Collaboration. The competition called for designs that enable simple and sustainable living in a smaller space. Categories included Tiny Homes - A Pocket Neighbourhood Professional Category (Architecture and design professionals and university students), a Tiny Home Community Category (Lismore, Byron, Ballina and Tweed community members and young adults aged from 16 – 116) and a Teeny Tiny Home Young Peoples Category (16 years and under). Designs were required to meet the principles of materials, thermal comfort, energy, water, site ecology, social sustainability and economic sustainability. Organiser Natalie Myer said there was huge public interest in the tiny house movement, which began to take off after

Hurricane Katrina left many people homeless in the United States in 2005. “We saw it as an opportunity to address the issue of houses being built larger and larger and larger which, in the long-term, is not sustainable,” she said. “From our region’s point of view, there’s a massive shortage of affordable housing, so we saw this as an opportunity to spur on some development and enthuse some housing developers to start including some of this type of housing in their developments.” Designer Joe Harvey-Jones won an award at the event for his Suncatcher home, that rotates to take advantage of the moving sun throughout the day. “When I was a kid in England my neighbours had a summer house on a circular track that spun so freely, a couple of eight-year-olds, like me and my brother, could go in there and spin the thing to annoy the neighbours,” he said. “Then I compounded onto that the idea that you could maybe use the idea to track the sun for your solar panels, to keep them pointing at the absolute optimum angle throughout the day. “You can sit in the house with a remote, like your television, and select spin left or spin right,” he said. “Or you can just leave the thing on auto and the program will track the sun and move with a little spurt from the motor. “I think it would be quite nice to be sitting in your arm chair watching the world go by,” he said. “Admittedly, it would be the same world each time, a bit like watching a replay on television, but I think I’d find it quite relaxing and meditative.” Warren Buys’s winning design can be transported. “The only thing you need to take into consideration is that when you are moving you’re going to be moving all of your items within that space, so you can’t just pack up and leave with things displayed nicely on shelves,” he said. “You need to have some sort of storage, which mine has, so you can move it as freely as a caravan.” Mr Buys said his design had the potential to solve many sustainability issues.

“I think it leads to more sustainable land space usage and a more economical future for all of us,” he said. “We’re all just realising that Australian dream of having a big house is not sustainable, and it’s not worth spending your entire life on that when you could build something, that may or may not move, and own it in less than a decade. “It can move with the weather, it can move with your changing circumstances. We don’t all stay in the same place for 20 or 30 years these days.” Margot McCarthy’s winning entry was inspired by the existing heritage-style homes in Mullumbimby. “It’s a historical interpretation of a tiny house, in that it’s a little white weatherboard home that was adapted for modern-day living,” she said. “The basic intent was to use that quintessential vernacular so that it fit in with other houses in the community.” Ms McCarthy said the house was made from recycled timber, and built to cope with the heat and humidity of the New South Wales north coast. “It’s very open-plan that allows the drafts and cooling breezes to come through, with shutters internally and externally,” she said. The 40-square-metre design is also adaptable to accommodate families of

various sizes. “I’ve built it to be completely flexible with one bedroom and a permanent office, or the ability with a mezzanine to have another sleeping area upstairs,” she said. “So you could have two kids sleeping upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs if you wanted, or three bedrooms and an office, which is pretty amazing in 40-square-metres.” Ms McCarthy, who is studying design at TAFE, said she hoped to pursue a career specialising in tiny homes. “I think people are questioning why we have these huge houses and don’t use them,” she said. “People are thinking they could do other things with their money.”

Murwillumbah Meals On Wheels celebrates 48 years

MURWILLUMBAH MEALS On Wheels celebrates 48 years of providing hearty meals to those in need this year, but there’s a call for extra hands to help carry the load and with Christmas on the horizon what better way to give something back. To find out more about this heart-warming service The Weekly spoke to Murwillumbah Meals On Wheels service coordinator Lyn Hartley who shared the local history of the service and the current numbers. Mrs Hartely said Meals On Wheels was first started by the wives of the members of the Tweed Christian Men’s Club cooking an extra dinner one night a week. “This would then be delivered to a member of the community who had been seen to be needing some assistance,” she said. “This began on September 9, 1968 and continued until February 10, 1969 when the Murwillumbah Hospital took over cooking the meals.

“A one off subsidy was received from the Government in 1975 which enabled the volunteer run group to purchase eskies and disposable containers to enable easier delivery of the hospital supplied meals to an increasing number of clients. “In August 1993 Government funding and the formalisation of the volunteer run venture changed the scope of the service significantly. A coordinator was then employed to run the service using volunteers to deliver meals five days a week to those who are frail, aged and

unable to cook nutritious meals for themselves. “This was to enable them to stay healthy and stay in their own homes as long as possible. “Our supply of meals is frozen for the safety and convenience of use and enhances our ability to deliver bulk meals to outer lying areas. Soups, desserts and two sizes of meals are now available for the clients. Freezer capacity is an important consideration for those out of town areas when they are considering how they want their meals delivered or how many they can pick up at a time. “Our service covers Murwillumbah township and housing estates with deliveries four days per week, rural and village communities throughout the valley can be serviced with pick up from our Food Centre or delivery by staff or volunteers if required. “We have previously approached some of the village areas to see if members of their communities would become volunteers for people in their area who needed meal support.” Mrs Hartley said Meals On Wheels also provides a service that keeps people engaged socially. “We currently have 60 clients who receive meals from the service – some of these are receiving or picking up packs as required others in town receive delivery more often,” she said. “Our group of over 70 volunteers delivers meals and provide our recent addition of our Social Support Program. “This program is a one on one [or small groups] where a volunteer will take a client to local appointments, shopping, an outing to get out of the house or paying bills etc and in doing so will enable the client to be able to do these things with assistance and still be able to manage at home. “Its purpose is also to help the client stay connected socially with people in the community they might see when on their social support outings. The service provides for the client and volunteer to stop and have something to eat and drink while they are out and also providing a set amount to help cover petrol costs for the volunteer. “We are currently looking for people who might think that this Social Support volunteering with clients might be something they could help us with. Those who do any type

of volunteering with our service always say how rewarding it is and how good it makes them feel to do something so simple that helps make such a big difference in the lives of our clients.” She said the service also has plans for the future to continue strengthening the Meals On Wheels community network to make a difference. “Future goals are to be able to continue making this service available in our community and in doing so help the clients and their families and carers know that someone is checking on and talking to people with each delivery and making a difference,” she said. “The Meals on Wheels service is more than just a meal that we bring to our clients and the benefits to them and the families and carers are much appreciated and needed to keep people safe and healthy in their homes but also connected with people in the local community. “Our AGM is coming up on Monday, October 10, at our Meals on Wheels premises at Shop 1 – 2 Golden Links Drive Bray Park at 5.30pm. “If there are any members of the community who might be interested in finding out more about our service or to become a member of our volunteer committee please come along.” For more details please phone (02) 6672 8866 or attend the AGM.

A million reasons to smile Pre-schools, primary schools, surf club nippers, junior sports clubs, palliative care centres, aged care, programs for people with disabilities and youth centres, were just a few of the valued community organisations that shared almost a million dollars in financial and in-kind support from Twin Towns in the latest round of ClubGRANTS.

Chair of the Twin Towns Donations Committee and Deputy Chair of Twin Towns, Brian Brown, said it was an honour to be in a position to support so many community organisations this year and congratulated the army of Tweed volunteers that work tirelessly year-after-year to support their organisations. “Twin Towns members should be proud to know their Club is out there in the community, making a difference to the lives of people, young and old, by supporting the organisations that provide the facilities and services they need. “Over the years, we have seen so many positive outcomes as a result of Twin Towns financial assistance through ClubGRANTS. “Twin Towns funding has enabled local organisations to introduce new programs, build new facilities, create new and much-needed community services and increase their ability to cater for more people who need their help,” said Brian. One of the major beneficiaries this year was Cooloon Children’s Centre in Recreation Street, Tweed Heads. In early 2016, they requested $30,000, half the money they needed to upgrade their outdoor deck and refurbish their entry foyer. Cooloon manager, Judy Radich, said they were elated to receive a cheque for $10,000 from Twin Towns in July. “Although it would only allow us to complete half the work we hoped, it would still go a long way

In early October, Club Banora will reveal its much-anticipated interior makeover. Major renovations to Slice & Fork are now complete, the former Tuscany Room demolished to provide increased dining space in the club’s bistro, Slice & Fork, and a new outdoor deck will entice visitors outdoors to drink and dine al fresco. Contemporary décor is a striking feature throughout the new areas and a range of modern furniture has been installed to cater for small and large groups dining at Slice and Fork. (Continued page 5)

to bridging the gap. To do both projects would mean we would be left with very little in reserve. “The ‘surprise’ cheque for another $20,000 came in August. We called Twin Towns to make sure it wasn’t a mistake. But lucky us! We had all the money we initially requested.” Twin Towns explained to Judy that at the completion of allocating available funding for the year, some money was left over. Cooloon received the $30,000 they requested and are now able to complete both projects – the deck and a colourful new entry foyer. Judy said she was immensely proud to be part of a community that supports organisations like Cooloon and other not-for-profits. “The improvements will mean a lot to our service for families now,

and into the future,” said Judy. Cooloon, which first opened its doors in 1968, caters for around 45 children a day; babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. Other beneficiaries of Twin Towns ClubGRANTS included the Tweed Heads and Coolangatta RSL Subbranch; Twin Towns Services Community Foundation; Shaping Outcomes; Southern Cross University Rising Stars Scholarship program; the Salvation Army Chaplaincy program; Gumnut Community Pre-school; Riding for the Disabled; Tweed District Rescue Squad; Tweed Heads & Coolangatta SLSC Nippers; Story Dogs community education program; and many more community organisations.

CLUBNEWS www.twintowns.com.au BOARD CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Cashless, Electronic and Digital Progression One may easily compare innovation associated with digital and electronic change to insurance when the question is asked, ‘What do you really require to mitigate risk’, versus ‘Is it really necessary to incorporate evolving technology when the costs outweigh the benefits?’ At Twin Towns Clubs and Resort Directors Strategic Planning Meeting, we examined the hidden costs of running a $70 million revenue business, looking at the rapidly evolving growth in technological innovation, and considering all the options including any environmental benefit and return on investment. At the recent consultative committee meeting, members were asked what they thought of digital technology, how many use computers, how many converse through Facebook or Twitter and how many would utilise members receiving information via SMS, e-mails or a ‘member’s only’ portal to access specific club information? These questions were asked generally to see whether members would accept a more efficient, cost effective marketing and information concept and also to determine possibilities of establishing for example member access via a portal for AGM reporting information. The cost of funding the Annual General Meeting reports, printing, advertising and member notification was over $100,000 this year, when with minor changes to regulation costs may be reduced 50% or more with electronically advanced technology. Costs incurred for organising and printing members’ information brochures, booklets and the like, necessary to advise and promote upcoming events at Twin Towns, are also becoming extremely expensive to organise and print when perhaps there are acceptable electronic alternatives such as more innovative methodology with member’s acceptance. With electronic voting at elections on the horizon for the future, it’s hard to imagine iPads and phone apps, digital wallets and attachments, being available to members visiting Twin Towns for ordering and paying for meals, beverages, coffee from within the club boundaries. However, we are close to driverless vehicles, commercial and private, so times are rapidly changing. Research into a future cashless society shows that gone are the local store family accounts, cheques are almost extinct, cash and coin are gradually disappearing whereas debit cards,

credit cards, pay-wave and on line shopping availability are all dramatically reducing the need to carry cash with these innovations rapidly taking over past practices. Cashless tollways on freeways, newspapers as we know them are going to digital, 63% of shopper’s use online banking or a mobile app to run their household budgets. Six billion people now have access to mobile phones. The increase in internet access and social media acceptance provides a new medium for business to link with customers and although a balance is required, we at Twin Towns also need to inevitably move with change. Credit card payments used for on non-gaming purchases in 2013 at Twin Towns were 9% of revenue whereas up to January 2016, the equivalent credit card payments added up to 22% of revenue. ATM withdrawals have dropped 7% a year for the last four years, while 53% of people with smart phones make cashless payments. Research shows there is a huge growth of smart phone users taking up the Digital Wallet option as their preferred choice of payment. Advancement in technology through innovation is staggering with Twin Towns management continually searching for evolving benefits that are simple to manage, that are performancebased, affordable, providing a return on investment and have the capacity to store information that ultimately reduces operational costs for the benefit of members. The challenge here is keeping up with the pace of change. Just think, only 16 years ago the internet revolution was mostly ideology, so imagine how quickly technology has evolved and how we need to adopt to keep up. Innovative systems covering the growing cashless society have led to massive improvements in the core business of gaming systems. Ticketin-Ticket-out, loyalty and reward programmes including points integration and central monitoring systems for detailed government monitoring, are best practice. Subject to regulatory approval, the future in gaming technology following unbelievable advancements in Europe and elsewhere where the ‘sky is the limit’, is leaving Australia behind in its wake in all associated aspects. Australians love a bet. It’s a way of life, a social adventure, an opportunity to interact with friends but must be done responsibly within one’s means. In gaming ideology, no matter how advanced Europeans, Asians and the Americans are, regulators will determine how much more innovative technology will be

made available here to inject more fun, bigger challenges to games with easier access for those who enjoy a flutter, with government departments conscious of harm minimisation measures despite innovative games growth and wallet-based technology internationally. One of the most powerful assets of the digital world is information storage, data for everyday use and cloud-based storage for mostly long term availability, and work product management, anywhere, anytime. Business Intelligence systems that achieve best practice can be described as the ability to apprehend the interrelationships of presented facts in such a way to guide action towards a desired goal, a set of techniques, and tools for the acquisition and transformation of raw data into meaningful and useful information for business and analysis purposes. These innovative technologies are capable of handling large amounts of structured and sometimes unstructured data to identify, develop and otherwise create new strategic business opportunities. Although most of our systems have business intelligence capability, management use systems-based dashboard technology for quick analysis to achieve the best results. Innovation with internet advances has created major improvements to system operations in finance, payroll, function and showroom bookings. Add the incredible improvements in stock control and point of sale systems integration, benchmarking to establish margins and profitability, membership database recording (privacy being imperative), promotion capability, food and beverage KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) and naturally all these systems are essential to efficiently run a multi-million dollar business to benefit members. Gone are the tiresome bookkeeping days. Software and support maintenance come at a cost and to provide the best outcome for our club’s operation, another hidden cost of running the business with an annual fee of $1.026 million, we have so called minimum capability to achieve maximum result.

Russell and Garth at the weigh-in at Twin Towns Juniors

Twin Towns Fishing Club Spring has finally hit the Tweed and the anglers from the Twin Towns Fishing Club have got it in the bag with several anglers reporting plentiful catches. For the August competition first was Graham with 10 bream, 4 luderick and 1 drummer; second was Garry with 10 luderick, and third was Rod with 6 bream and 1 luderick. The competition traditionally gets tougher closer to the end of the year with the ultimate winner kept secret until the club’s Christmas party in December. The club has realigned itself to fill the expectations of the current members and to provide better social gatherings. Part of the bigger plan is to try to increase membership numbers so the sport

and competition can be enjoyed by everyone. The Fishing Club now has t-shirts available for members. The monthly weigh in is now at the Twin Towns Juniors under-cover area and now anglers can enjoy a BBQ lunch and drinks. Our next trip away will be to Brunswick Heads on the 23 -26 September for a weekend of boating, fishing and crabbing. The club will be taking 3 tinnies to fish from and we will be exploring the Brunswick river system. Twin Towns Fishing Club is always looking for new members. If you are interested, please contact Vice President Ferdi on 0414 812 907 or President Rod on 07 5524 1160 or email us at fctwintowns@gmail.com

Once again, the board needs to strategically analyse benefits and costs to mitigate business risk versus the need to incorporate evolving innovative technology to drive the business forward. To supplement our internal discussions, the board and senior management met with a specialist in cutting edge innovation, technology and disruption. Just when you imagine you have all the information, you realise just how much more there always is to learn. How quickly innovation is changing best business practices, consequently we all need to ‘catch the bus’. Meanwhile good health and I look forward to meeting up around our clubs. Michael Fraser

Tivoli’s 200 show milestone at Twin Towns Award-winning marjoram pork fillet main course.

(Winning chefs continued from page 1) The Tweeds team battled it out in the kitchen against the country’s 10 best junior chef team finalists and stepped up to the plate, winning silver medals for their entrée, main and dessert course dishes. George and Teri’s menu included entrée of ocean trout confit, duo of prawns, lemon cauliflower, shellfish reduction; main course of marjoram pork fillet, textured root vegetables, walnut brittle, fennel, port jus; and dessert course of peanut butter, jelly, thyme crumb and spiced chocolate. Australia’s longest running culinary competition for young chefs saw national finalist teams compete live at Fine Food Australia Melbourne over two days, cooking-off in front of thousands of show attendees in purpose-built commercial kitchens. First-time finalist George said the Nestlé Golden Chef’s Hat Award final had been an amazing experience. “We’ve really enjoyed it, have learnt a lot and it’s definitely

improved our skills. We are proud of what we’ve achieved because we worked so hard in the lead up, practicing lots,” said George. Twin Towns Executive Chef Kim Chilcott was on hand at the finals in Melbourne and was first to congratulate the pair on their outstanding results. “George proved he was a cutabove when he earned his place in the finals after winning gold at the Australian Culinary Challenge Regional Competition at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre in April. “George has an incredible talent and his ability to stay cool and calm in the kitchen, despite the enormous pressures cooking in a prestigious competition like this presents, shone through. “There is no disappointment in coming home with not one but three silver medals. In our eyes, George’s efforts are GOLD,” said Kim. Abbey Wendland and Mahlet Girma, both apprentice chefs at the Adelaide Oval, were crowned the 2016 national winners.

Wayne Cornell’s hit touring club show Back to the Tivoli has plenty to celebrate when it lands at Twin Towns in December. Copying the format of the famed variety and vaudeville shows that played Sydney’s Tivoli Theatre in the 1920s and 30s, Back to the Tivoli Christmas shows will play on 13 and 14 December. The first will celebrate the 200th Twin Towns show. “We’ve got regulars, some of them aged in their 90s, who never miss a show at Twin Towns. How do I know? I haven’t missed one either,” Cornell laughed. The show’s producer and emcee, a whippersnapper by comparison aged in his 70s, launched Back to the Tivoli at Twin Towns in 1996. The December shows will feature soprano, magician, comic and violinist. “The secret is to book the headline act. The rest just sort of fall into place around them,” said Cornell. The professional musician, singer and former member of club act the Delltones, had his performance career cut short by a car crash. The first ever Back to the Tivoli show was a ‘one-off’ staged in the Central Coast NSW town he calls

Party time for kids

Around 250 local kids and their families enjoyed the fun and games

For the past 11 years, Twin Towns has thrown a spectacular annual free party in the Twin Towns Showroom for a bunch of very special local kids with special needs, and their families get to come along too. Twin Towns extends the invitation to local community organisations for kids with disabilities, such as Shaping Outcomes, The Variety Club, Currumbin Special School, Kids in Need and many more. The parties provide a unique opportunity for the kids to socialise, and for their parents to share quality time with their partner, other family members and other parents. This year the fun-fuelled program included entertainment, food, beverages, a photo booth and a generous dose of party atmosphere. Since it all began, Twin Towns has spent over $70,000 on the parties, which over the years have been enjoyed by around 3,000 children and their families.

LADIES BOWLS The ladies have been competing in two divisions of the GCTDLBA Pennant Competition for 2016, without a great deal of success this year. However, our club was well represented and we are proud of the dedication our players. A successful Patron’s Day was held on 16 August where patron Hilary Schmidt hosted a day of bowls for the ladies. A great day was had by all on Past President’s Day, which was organized by all past Presidents of our Ladies Bowling Club. Our next BIG event coming up is to be our Fund Raising Day to be held on Friday 21 October. The ladies are working very hard in preparation for the many stalls, where ‘Goodies’ such as pickles, jams, cakes and craft can be purchased on the day. The ladies are hoping it will be a successful day. Hilary S Publicity Officer

GARDEN CLUB The Garden Club had a bus trip to a QUOTA Expo in Alstonville. A great day was had by all. We stopped at Saunders Park, Ballina for morning tea. It was quite entertaining to watch the Archery Club in action. Alstonville Showground was the venue. There was a large hall full of stalls with most interesting crafts. If you can remember, go there next year for some Christmas shopping for craft items. We enjoyed listening to three guest speakers and bought plants, of course. Had very nice lunch then headed home via Summerland Antiques and Garden Centre. For such a small community town, it was a huge expo and the entry fee of $5 goes to charity. Next meeting is on Tuesday 4 October at 9.45am (NSW) at Club Banora. If you would like to visit our club, call Maria on 07 5524 8234.

MASTERS SWIMMING Training numbers have been lower than usual in August; I expect things to pick up as the summer approaches. It’s time to train up for the ‘Pan Pacs’ in November. Early bird entries are a bit cheaper, so get your entries in soon. The swimmers who attended carnivals at Southside, Genesis and Northside did very well once again. Although only a few dedicated swimmers attended. They came home with well-deserved gold and silver medals as well as some ‘PBs’. Ron came home with a few records from Southside, and one from Northside. The British long distance results arrived at last. Barbara and Jenny received a gold medal, Janet silver, and Dihana bronze. Well done girls. Socially, we thoroughly enjoyed the Tivoli show this month. It was one of the best! Ding Dong is away with her family in Brisbane recuperating and she will be back with us soon. Welcome back to Thor Eriksen who has re-joined the club after a few years away. David

Eddie flying high at Twin Towns or woman who clutches gold, silver or bronze on the winner’s dais, there’s some poor sod who had to finish last. Someone who knows the feeling well is Michael “Eddie” Edwards, the British skier who in 1988 became the first competitor to represent Great Britain in Olympic ski jumping since 1929.

If playing spectator to events like the recent Rio Olympic Games teaches us anything it’s that not everyone can be a winner.

Edwards was a British ski jump record holder, ninth in the amateur speed skiing and a stunt jump world record holder who could

clear six buses in a single leap. Such feats may sound excellent in theory, but still failed to mean much when Edwards got to the Calgary Winter Olympics.

Jackman plays Edwards’ charismatic coach in this biopic comedy. Fathers and Daughters is the tale of a Pulitzerwinning writer (Russell Crowe) who grapples with being a widower and Dad after a mental breakdown, while 27 years later, his grown daughter (Amanda Seyfried) struggles to forge connections of her own.

Competing in the 70m and 90m events, Edwards finished last. The press called him Mr Magoo. Others praised the spirit of an amateur prepared to put himself to the test against the best in his sport.

Mother’s Day brings together three generations in a film about mums, directed by the late Garry Marshall. Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts and

Eddie The Eagle, which comes to Twin Towns on 3 October, stars Taron Egerton as Edwards. Australia’s Hugh

Kate Hudson star in the third and last film directed by Marshall, who died in July. The others were Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Day.

Vietnam Vets Day

Akinga love their TT’s gigs

This year’s Vietnam Veterans Day at South Tweed Sports Club drew record crowds as the Tweed came out in force to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of one of the most significant battles of the Vietnam War, the Battle of Long Tan.

Sam Pulman and his showband Akinga love their annual visit to Twin Towns and the sunny Queensland NSW border town Tweed Heads.

The day honoured all who served in the Vietnam War from 1962 to 1972, where more than 3,000 Australians were wounded and 521 lost their lives. It also honoured those who currently serve our country today.

“You do a Sydney show and everyone’s a critic,” Pulman laughs. “I don’t know whether it’s because there are so many people in holiday mode, but you get to Queensland and people seem more prepared to relax and have some fun. I don’t just mean the locals, I mean people from everywhere. “There, I meet good people from Sydney, good people from Melbourne and good people from England, Ireland, Canada and anywhere else you can think of.” Akinga’s lead singer and guitarist has been making the trek to Twin Towns for 16 years, joined by an shifting roster of musicians. “When Akinga started out we were five young guys

with guitars from New Zealand, now we’re one old bloke, me, and five Aussie musos,” he says.

Mars, leaving Killet to sing the divas - Tina Turner, Shania Twain and Amy Winehouse to name a few.

The current lineup features Scott Harding on drums, Luke Nepia on bass, Andrew Clews on guitar and singer Bonnie Killet.

Pre-purchased tickets are $5 members; $10.00 for nonmembers. Tickets on the day of the show are $10 members; $15 non-members.

On Wednesday 26 October, the five-piece will perform a Legends morning show at 10.30am Qld in the Twin Towns Showroom with Pulman channelling performers like Prince, Michael Jackson and Bruno

At Akinga’s shows at The Stage from 27-30 October, the band will draw from a set list of songs from every decade, “dating all the way back to the 1920s ‘before the crooners’, to songs written yesterday”.

Big names in country to play Twin Towns off this October and features an enviable line-up that, in addition to being Gord’s baptism to the live Australian scene, also features the likes of 2014 X-Factor star Caitlyn Shadbolt, half of the former award-winning duo McAlister Kemp - Troy Kemp, CMAA Best New Talent Christie Lamb, newcomer Craig Heath and New Zealand’s Jody Direen. Headlining the This Crazy Life tour, named after their recently released album of the same title, The Wolfe Brothers will be returning to Australia after a whirlwind four-month tour of the United States. As the Country Music Channel’s Group of The Year for 2016, the band is well reputed for their high-energy live shows. Gord Bamford is used to playing to packed houses overseas, and the opportunity to return to his country of birth for this special tour is exciting indeed. Add to that fact that the This Crazy Life event will also play in Traralgon, his former hometown, and the eight-date tour is guaranteed to be part of Australian country music history.

NRSO presents Glorious classics The Northern Rivers Symphony Orchestra would like to invite you to join us in our final concert for 2016 - ‘Glorious Classics’ with Conductor Nicholas Routley and special guest soloist Soprano Gaynor Morgan on the 30th October, to be held at the Tweed Civic Centre at 2.30pm (1.30pm QLD time). Nicholas Routley, who is no stranger to the NRSO, is a pianist, as well as a composer and a musical theorist. Nicholas was Associate Professor at the Department of Music at the University of Sydney, a position he retired from in 2007. He is an inspired musician who has a great love for the voice in all its forms especially choral. He was the founding director of the Sydney Chamber Choir and is actively involved with music on the North NSW Coast. Mr Routley has conducted several major orchestras from the Sydney Symphony to the Taiwan Symphony Orchestra and performed duo with renowned singers such as Gerald English and Hartley Newnham. Since resuming composition 10 years ago, he has written orchestral

and choral pieces, songs and a guitar concerto. Now he plans to write at least two operas based on the long Indian epic poem, Mahabharata. Soprano Gaynor Morgan was born in Cardiff, Wales, and studied at the Guildhall School of Music and the European Opera centre in Belgium. She made her UK debut for Glyndebourne Touring Opera, singing Barbarina in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro under the direction of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. As a result Gaynor was invited to make her Glyndebourne Festival Opera debut in the same role in 1991 under Sir Andrew Davis. At Glyndebourne, Gaynor also covered several major roles in the Festival including Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro, Miss Wordsworth in Britten’s Albert Herring, Zdenka in Arabella and Mrs Frestln in the world premiere of The Electrification of The Soviet Union. Ms Morgan has toured widely in the UK and has also performed in Belgium, France, Singapore, and Australia in Opera and Concert. Her recordings include Milhaud’s Les Malheurs d’Orphee for

Described as a neo-traditionalist artist, Gord has spent the best part of the last two decades honing his craft and is returning to Oz in the best form of his career. His return is also sweet, in that it once again reunites him with his Queensland-based father, Pastor Jock Bamford. When Gord’s mother Marilyn divorced his father and moved them back to her home of Canada, he lost touch with his father. Their rocky relationship, instigated by his father’s alcoholism, meant that for his childhood and most of his youth Gord didn’t know his Dad. In fact, there was an 18-year gap where they didn’t keep in touch. Jock turned his life around, he is now sober and a beloved pastor, highly respected for his work in his Loaves and Fishes Foundation in Brisbane. Four years ago Gord and his dad reached out to each other and since then their relationship has blossomed. In fact, it was only this year during a Canadian tour in February that Jock saw his son perform on stage for the first time. Re-establishing that

close relationship has cemented Gord’s connection with Australia and he will be undertaking the tour with his dad by his side. Don’t miss this unique and explosive night of today’s country music featuring the very best from Australia, Canada and

New Zealand. With seven artists, from three countries all on the same bill, this is guaranteed to be something more than a little special. This Crazy Life is playing at Twin Towns at Friday October 28 at 8pm. Tickets are on sale now.

Northern Rivers Symphony Orchestra Proudly Presents

ASV with London’s Matrix Ensemble under Robert Ziegler and Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro for the Auvidis Astree under Jean Claude Malgoire in Paris. She has been guest lecturer at the Griffith University Queensland Conservatorium and University of Queensland as well as examiner for the AMEB. The Northern Rivers Symphony Orchestra look forward to performing with these internationally experienced musicians and hope you could join us to welcome back Mr Routley for this most interesting program which starts with Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio Italien, Ravel’s Song Cycle Sheherazade, Berlioz’s Vilanelle from Nuits d’Ete and Symphony No 3 of Brahms.

CANADIAN COUNTRY music superstar Gord Bamford returns to his country of birth for a special mini festival tour with the Wolfe Brothers and special guests For Canadian country music hit-maker Gord Bamford, joining the highly anticipated This Crazy Life tour is something of a special homecoming. Born in regional Victoria, the recent Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) Album of the Year award-winner has spent the majority of his life overseas. With 23 CCMA Awards under his belt and numerous number one smash hits in Canada, the country he has lived in since he was five-years-old, Gord Bamford is a bonafide superstar in his own right.

THE 10TH BYRON BAY FILM FESTIVAL

The Byron Bay film festival this year celebrates its 10th edition, running from Friday 14th to Sunday 23rd October. It is a remarkable achievement for a local festival. After starting as a small event it has now become Australia’s largest regional film festival, involving multiple venues that showcase a diverse program of entertaining, inspiring and thought provoking films of all lengths and genre.

“Music has got me, it drives me, it compels me, I can never imagine not having a song to sing, to write, to share,” says local musician Lissy Stanton. Passionate and down to earth, Lissy’s fresh, original piano driven songs and gorgeous vocals combined with her genuine warmth on stage, have made her a much loved performer on local, national and international stages. This powerhouse of heart and soul isn’t afraid to feel the fullness of life and share its effect with her audience with openness and honesty. It’s this special voice, which captures your attention, and one big megawatt trademark smile. Lissy, how would you describe your music? Its music for the heart. There’s a little bit of Stevie Nicks, Tori Amos and Tom Petty in me. When I’m writing a song I really try to get to the heart. I want to make you feel the song with me and take you along on the journey. Cry, laugh, get caught up in a memory that’s the best bit of a song. I love to tell a story through my music and show you the topside of the tapestry where the richest tales live. What are you currently working on? I’m preparing a video shoot for my song “Chocolate” recorded with Producer Govinda Doyle (Angus & Julia Stone). I travel regularly to Sydney where I am currently recording my third studio album with Producer Scott Bird from Riversong Music, I was introduced to Scott through my New York mentor Cari Cole (Grammy Award Winner and Celebrity Vocal Coach). Mentoring is a passion of

Taste the Tweed

The festival is mainly a platform for young and independent film talents, but this year will screen a total of 185 features including also “bigger” movies like LO & BEHOLD by legendary German filmmaker Werner Herzog and THE FAMILY FANG starring Nicole Kidman and Jason Bateman. There will also be confronting films like DOWN UNDER, a black comedy set during the aftermath of the Cronulla riots, and documentaries like THE LANDSCAPE WITHIN, the lyrical and spiritual journey of an extraordinary artist in the Philippines, and THE EAGLE HUNTRESS, about a Mongolian girl fighting against old prejudices of gender. The festival will include gala evenings with film stars for a bit of glamour, but also workshops and demonstrations on the latest technological film medium, Virtual Reality.

Film festivals and cultural events in general are a source of entertainment for the local community and a source of income for the town where they are held. Byron Bay excels in this – Murwillumbah is moving in the right direction, but certainly there is potential for more.!

Tour Olley Centre with biographer A RARE insight into the life of cherished Australian painter Margaret Olley will be served up at an exclusive tour and dinner at the Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre on Saturday October 29. Filmmaker and journalist Meg Stewart, who wrote the award-winning biography Margaret Olley: far from a still life, will lead a tour of the Margaret Olley Art Centre (MOAC) and its current exhibition, Margaret Olley: from the collection. “Meg will share fascinating stories about the time she spent in Olley’s Duxford Street home studio in Sydney, interviewing Olley for the biography,” MOAC Curator and Collections Manager Ingrid Hedgcock said. “Gain a new perspective of MOAC’s home

studio re-creation by hearing first-hand accounts from a skilled storyteller.” Margaret Olley: far from a still life has been described as a biography that is comprehensive but also a warmly intimate profile of the deeply loved and very colourful artist. Ms Hedgcock said Meg’s tour and shared experiences would bring a new perspective of MOAC, which faithfully re-creates the famous rooms of Olley’s Sydney home. “More than 300,000 people have visited the home studio re-creation and enjoyed its intriguing aesthetic since MOAC was officially opening in March 2014,” Ms Hedgcock said. “Meg’s talk will bring even more life to those rooms, the fascinating items that fill them, the artist who painted them and the equally interesting people Olley hosted at her home.” Tweed Regional Gallery and Tweed Fusion, with sponsorship support from Tweed Shire Council, have combined to hold the tour and dinner, which will be held in the Gallery foyer with catering by the Gallery Café. Guests will enjoy drinks and canapes on arrival and, after the tour, will be treated to a dinner showcasing the Tweed Valley’s farm fresh produce. “It will be a night of fine dining and a privileged peek further into the life of one of Australia’s most celebrated painters,” she said. Tickets are $115 and bookings are essential before October 14 by contacting the Gallery on (02) 6670 2790 between Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 5pm.

Resolution brings together critically acclaimed artists with emerging talent reflecting the diversity and dynamism of contemporary practice. NGA Director, Gerard Vaughan, said. “Over the last 30 years, the NGA has developed one of the world’s great collections of Indigenous photomedia. Resolution reflects our continued engagement with this vital aspect of contemporary art,” The foundations of contemporary Indigenous photography were laid in the late ’80s, with a generation of politicised and provocative artists documenting their experiences of the Bicentennial marking 200 years of European settlement. The last 30 years has seen the emergence of artists who engage critically and thoughtfully with the present and the past and continue to layer their artistic identity with challenges to contemporary culture. Resolution will be on display at the Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre from September 16 – December 4 2016 and will travel to Australian venues over the coming 18 months as part of the National Gallery of Australia’s extensive touring program, sharing the National Collection with the wider Australian community. Entry to the exhibition is free.

“I then find out what emotion is coming out and relate it to things either going on in my life or that that I am seeing around me, that’s when the lyrics come. If all these things line up and I think people would relate to this I will work to craft this idea into a song as my main aim through song writing is to connect and let people know that they’re not alone, that there is always someone going through a similar situation and sometimes that’s all people need to help them through.” As well as performing at Falls Festival Matty hopes to someday meet Bernard Fanning and have a jam. “It would be amazing, he is one of my biggest inspirations, my first CD ever was Powderfinger’s Double Allergic and I still play it all the time from start to finish,” he said. “He is an incredible songwriting and performer – that would be epic.” Matty also talked about some of his other inspirations in music. “It is so hard to pick one, I have so many artists who inspire me. My muso mates here in the Northern Rivers are constantly inspiring me, there is so much talent around here,” he said. “Powderfinger, Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, Stevie Wonder, The Eagles, Rage Against the Machine, my music taste is very eclectic. “I find different thing’s in artists to take inspiration from whether it be their music, lyrics or how they manage themselves in a business sense, my inspirations are it’s always changing. “The artists I respond to the most have good solid music, meaningful lyrics and it’s got to be from the heart, if you have that it will inspire me.” Matty has some amazing stories about his relationship with Seda of five years. “Seda and I were living in the region, I was playing gigs and working on the Byron Bay Council and Seda was working at Aquarius Backpackers (Byron),” he said. “We decided to move to South Australia for two years

We learnt so much about Aboriginal culture and learnt a lot about ourselves too. One of the coolest things was seeing how music brought the communities closer. “We did everything from teaching music theory, song writing, music production, making videos and painting classes. We have been back in the Northern Rivers for over 3 years now and I am playing music fulltime. “We recently had our first baby Riley James Rogers (pictured) and we are loving parenthood, he is six-monthsold and full of love and laughter. “I was lucky enough to be able to deliver him myself at Tweed Heads hospital, such an amazing experience.The last few years have been really busy for us with the birth of our first son, building our first home and keeping my music going but we are finding balance which is the most important thing to us.” To find out more or to nominate Matty Rogers for Falls Festival visit the Falls Festival website or social media channels including Matty Rogers’ Facebook page. You can also hear some of Matty Rogers’ finest tunes on Friday, October 7, at the Chinderah Tavern from 6pm.

LUNCH SPECIAL

ORGANISERS OF this year’s Falls Festival are offering the exclusive chance for one local band or artist to perform at the 2016 Falls Festival along with some of the biggest acts in the world. Each local media outlet was asked to nominate a local band or artist who can bring their best performance to an audience of thousands. The Weekly nominated Burringbar local Matty Rogers who has an amazing sound and has featured on Triple J as well as having a love for the local region. As part of his nomination Matty has to spread the word about his chance and gather as many people to support him in the hope of achieving a long standing dream. “It would mean so much to play this year’s Byron Bay Falls Festival for many reasons, one being I really want to share my music with as many people as I can and what better platform than in my local region at Falls Festival,” he said. “The Falls Fest is such a great vibe and I have been dreaming about playing there for many years now so I am hugely grateful for this opportunity. “The hardest thing for a musician is getting their music heard by the masses, festivals like the Falls Fest are the best way for that to happen.” Matty has been writing and performing originals for 10 years around Australia, performing at pubs, cafes, parties and markets. “I live in Burringbar about 8kms from the Byron Bay Falls festival location with my partner and 6-month-old baby boy,” he said. “I am one of the lucky few who get to make a living out of one of their passions and one of my biggest passions in life is music second only to family. “My creative process comes from raw emotion, when I sit to write I will start by playing a few chords on my guitar or piano then I will I let out a melody but very rarely will it be real words.

THIS WEEK we discuss the tough issue of road maintenance, upgrade and repair across the Tweed Shire, an area of great distress to many locals.

Tweed Shire Council Elections 2016 “Tweed Shire Council had seven

years of additional rates rises to address underlying issues and one of the major dot points was roads, so I ask “Why do we still have issues with basic maintenance?” Councillors who have been there for many years have much to answer for. Have they been “asleep on the job”? It is not hard to identify one road issue that needs addressing. Council did that for us when they listed the roundabout on Kennedy Drive at the intersection with the M1 as a potential project for federal funding alongside the “rail trail”. The majority of councillors went for the rail trail rather than the roundabout! The reason they gave was that the rail trail was “shovel ready”, which means work could start immediately. The only reason that the rail trail was “shovel ready” and the roundabout was not, was because these same councillors had, over a number of years, prioritised the council staff work priorities on the rail trail rather than the roundabout. For the future, we need to have an open and transparent process for prioritising road works across the Shire. Who you elect will determine whether that is put in place.”

“

The Tweed Shire has a significant road network and a limited rate base to maintain this necessary asset. Rural roads are a huge issue and often end up like a patchwork quilt due to repeated repairs, Tyalgum Road is just one of many. I have advocated for the residents near Leisure and Darlington Drive at Banora Point to improve pedestrian access to the shopping centre and bus stops, this

is ongoing. When I have received a road complaint, I have found out when the road of concern is on the works program for repair or upgrade. If it is not on the program then had it included; pot holes have usually been addressed in a timely manner. This never ending job and I appreciate peoples frustration, however safety measures are in place for all road users and also road workers. Take care and drive for the conditions.

“

As a resident of Bilambil Heights I experience some of our Shire’s road issues every day, I always hear complaints about Kennedy Drive. The latest stage started on the wrong foot when the Fraser Drive roundabout was started at the same time and successfully managed to delay all northbound

travel for the communities between Cobaki, Terranora and North Tumbulgum, unless we traveled south to Tumbulgum just to travel north. Kennedy Drive is due to be finished to the north side of the bridge shortly and the locals hope the ‘Swiss cheese’ that is the southside of the bridge isn’t just left there. If elected I will push for our Roads and Infrastructure to be higher on the priority list. We need to have a proactive maintenance program rather than reactive repair program and eliminate the patchwork effect on all of our roads.

“

Council’s roads contribution system is subsidising major developers, and you are paying for it. If a developer needs a new or upgraded external road or a major through road for their development, but doesn’t use the whole capacity of those lanes, the community is left to pay for the remaining capacity, whether we use the road or not. Allowing large developments in the outer regions of the Shire, such as at Mooball, which require long distances of road maintenance, rather than concentrate development in Tweed Heads is also a problem. Another problem was the Kirkwood Rd freeway exit to Tweed City shopping centre. This completely depleted Council’s road funds and was a very major mistake. This all has significant impacts on your rates, and Council fees for new or expanding small businesses, and the quality our other roads. This is what you get though with ‘development at any cost’ Councillors and so called ‘middle of the road’ Councillors.” Tweed Shire Council had seven years of additional rates rises to address underlying issues and one of the major dot points was roads, so I ask “Why do we still have issues with basic maintenance?”

“

Roads, rates and garbage are what Council is all about, yet the NSW State Government has been increasingly pushing state financial responsibilities onto Local Government, e.g. the homeless problem. Consequently ratepayers’ dollars have often been spent last on local needs. Then a rate rise would follow to allow for basic local essentials like road maintenance. Not to mention long delays. Some streets in the area have been tyre wreckers for many years but have only just been upgraded. Rural areas are almost completely neglected due to low traffic demand. Our group will not ‘kowtow’ to State Government and let party politics dominate Council. We will focus on stabilising rates and using them for local Government responsibilities to ensure there is a workable budget for road maintenance. Our team knows how to achieve a proper business model for Council.”

“

An efficient tweed road network will bring people to The Tweed, help to grow our Shire, make the lives of our residents and ratepayers easier and safer, bring people to businesses and promote tourism and jobs. Tweed is unique in the way our roads are funded – or should I say – aren’t funded. Because our population is under 100,000 we pay to maintain all our arterial roads. If a local government area’s (LGA’s) population exceeds 100,000 the State Government pays for arterial roads. But hundreds of thousands of nonratepayers (Queenslanders, tourists) use our roads and don’t pay for them - Tweed Coast Road, Tweed Valley Way are all funded by council. The Kirkwood Road interchange cost Tweed Council $17m - how many other councils have to fund ramps onto the freeway? The council has a multimillion dollar road funding shortfall and if elected I work with key council and key stakeholders including the Cross Border Commissioner and NSW Minister for Roads to review rules around arterial road funding. Doing this has the potential to free us significant funds for us to put towards other infrastructure and services in Tweed.”

“

Road repair, maintenance and upgrades attract more than their fair share of criticism from the public. I’ve had a lot of people say fix my road and you got my vote. I travel through the Tweed doing deliveries three and four days per week. I see a need for more of the unsealed roads to be sealed. Service providers put themselves at risk and also creat dust like clouds due providing service to people on unsealed roads. I’m sure it takes a long time to clean an entire bus or garbage truck, just one dirt road and there goes the water usage. Buses, garbage trucks, water deliveries etc etc. Black spots definitely need prioritising, address these as urgent with a view to giving the public adequate thoroughfare and flow. Creating alternative routs well in advance of problem areas. I’d like to see Council be mindful of starting jobs on two seperate roads that facilitate an area we’re the other road is the only other vantage point to that location. It frustrates me when I see this happen time and time again. Fixing pot holes quickly will reduce little problems becoming big problems. So quickly action were possible. I’d like to see how this is currently actioned and work towards good flow and good resolutions and maintenance. It often seems like road resurfacing is a lottery as roads that seem to be in better repair than many others get attention out of the blue. Sitting and waiting for stop go people and traffic lights is going to be part of life for a long time to come unless a system that’s more innovative in detection of the traffic sitting at lights designed. We need a better detection system that would allow traffic to flow when no other traffic is detected.”

Hot Yoga arrives in Tweed Valley to change lives

THERE’S A new yoga craze in Murwillumbah that’s helping residents lose weight, feel great and heal their injuries - it’s called Heatwave Hot Yoga Murwillumbah. Hot yoga is the collaboration of two yoga teachers Zuzana Meskova (co-owner and manager) and Amy Arnell (co-owner), who have come together to create a space where Tweed Valley locals can come to sweat, stretch and smile on their mats to bring about powerful physical transformations and injury healing, as well as much needed de-stressing and mental benefits.

Amy Arnell opened the first Heatwave Hot Yoga studio at Kingscliff in 2012, while Zuzana was teaching regular yoga classes and workshops at different yoga studios from the Northern NSW coast to Brisbane, as well as her classes at Heatwave Kingscliff over the following years. Fast forward a few years on and Zuzana found herself following her path to relocate from a farm just over the border in Currumbin Valley to the NSW side of the ranges near Uki. “The idea to open a studio together with Amy was born not long after, and the rest is history,” she said. “With a lot of existing Heatwave Kingscliff students travelling from as far as Tyalgum, Uki and beyond to get into the hot room at Kingscliff as there was nothing like it in Murwillumbah or surrounds, we decided to bring Hot Yoga to Murwillumbah. The duo has more than 12 years of yoga teaching experience with a passion for providing a wide range of fun yoga classes that are accessible to all levels of experience

and fitness, and range from relaxing to more challenging dynamic practice. As a relatively new healthy option, Hot Yoga is already helping thousands of Aussies to find their energy again. “I still remember the first time I practiced a hot yoga class,” Zuzana said. “I walked out sweaty, feeling like I had a good physical workout, but most of all what I remember is feeling very energised and euphoric. It was an early morning class and the feel good headspace didn’t stop after class, it lasted the whole day and I got to sleep instantly and woke up feeling amazing. I wanted to go back again. After years of practice I completed my initial Hot Yoga Teacher Training in 2012 first thinking I would only teach parttime due to work commitments, but only six months later the universe had other plans and I was made redundant in my office job and was suddenly teaching a full time yoga class schedule.” “I was feeling incredible from being able to inspire others to a healthier lifestyle, greater self-awareness and acceptance, and I was loving every minute of it.” Zuzana said yoga offers something for everyone and hype is all true – it can change your life. “Listen to your body, practice with no expectation or judgement of yourself and always enjoy your time on the mat as a way of exploring your body’s physical abilities and limitations,” she said. “When we practice yoga in this way, the journey becomes more enjoyable, more rewarding and more consistent. “Try to aim for a regular practice of at least three classes per week and begin to feel incredible benefits in only a few shorts weeks. Yoga is a ‘yoga practice’, not a ‘yoga perfect’ - so there is no need to struggle for our taught perception of perfection.” Hot Yoga Murwillumbah offers the latest in infrared heating technology across a range of heated and unheated classes, from the classic hatha hot yoga sequence Heatwave (practised at about 38degrees) to more flowing Vinyasa and Power Yoga styles (practised at about 33degree) to a more restorative non heated deep stretching Yin Yoga class. “The heat is never excessive or draining, and cool fresh air is let in to the studio at regular intervals throughout

class,” she said. “Hot Yoga Murwillumbah has a very friendly diverse teaching team, with seven teachers who all bring their own unique flavour and expertise to each class, giving students more variety and access to a wider range of knowledge.” Amy is excited to introduce hot yoga to a new community. She has had the pleasure of witnessing the positive effects that hot yoga has brought to the people of Kingscliff and beyond over the last 4 years. She’s seen it help with the pressures of daily life, trauma, insomnia and anxiety to name a few and loves seeing people walk out looking happy and feeling calmer. “It’s more than a physical exercise, it changes your mindset and helps keep things in perspective,” she said. “One of the best parts is the price, with a local’s special.” Hot Yoga is offering ten consecutive days of unlimited yoga classes for just $25.

BY “RAIN”

Aries (Mar21-Apr19)- There are strong influences in both business and romance this week, and you may find yourself becoming a little impatient and pushy trying to get the ball rolling. This also applies to romantic interests, it is best to be patient and understanding at this time. Taurus (Apr20-May20)- You could find yourself of two minds this week. On one hand, you could feel yourself wanting to go out of your way to help others and the other, working towards your own ambitions. A good focus point this week would be balance, try to find middle ground options to avoid clashes. Gemini (May21-June20)- Do you find yourself sometimes wearing a mask, and hiding your true ambitions from others so as to keep up appearances while getting what you want? This could come into play quite strongly for you this week. It is always best to be honest and open, even if it means hurting others feelings. How else do we learn? Cancer (June21-July22)- There could very well be a very intense connection for you with another person right now, and in that relationship you might just sell them on your ideas. But make sure you are not too pushy, or you might push them right out the door. This weekend be careful, you might have a bully on your hands so be firm. Leo (July23-Aug22)- This is a great week for you to hang with the pride Leo, with social strength being this weeks gift. It can lead to inspiration, creativity, and projects for you. If you have ideas for a project, throw it out there and you might just get some wonderful new angles on it. Also this is the perfect time if you are changing your diet.

SALMON EN CROUTE BAKING BROWN BUTTER CREAMY CRISPY DECORATIONS EGG GLAZE GREEN HEAT MASCARPONE

MIXTURE OVEN

Virgo (Aug23-Sept22)- It is time to be picky with your shopping Virgo! Shop around, search for a bargain and try not to be too impulsive or you might just see something better and cheaper in the next shop window. If you also invest in yourself right now, even treat yourself a little, it’ll pay off for you.

PASTRY ROCKET SALMON SEASON

Libra (Sept23-Oct22)- This is a great time for personal growth, and you might find that there is someone who is willing to teach you but you might have to put yourself in their shoes to learn. This is also a great way to avoid conflicts, and even add a beautiful new energy to the relationship. This weekend may come with a need for compromise.

SPINACH STEAM WATERCRESS WHIZZ

Scorpio (Oct23-Nov21)- You may find yourself all up in your head this week Scorpio, figuring yourself out. What are you ambitions, your drivers, what changes do you wish to make in your life? You could find that letting go of certain things will free up a lot of time and give you new ground to work with.

bizarre coincidences 1. The first worker to die during the Hoover dam’s construction was J.G. Tierny on December 20, 1922. The last person to die there was J.G. Tierny’s son, who died on December 20, 1935 2. There were only two cars in the state of Ohio in 1895. They ran into each other. Then there were no cars

Sagittarius (Nov22-Dec21)- This is a wonderful time for you to collaborate with another on a mutual project – especially one that has significant importance to you. If you find this person encouraging you, it is probably worth while listening to them! It is best though, to keep things simple and spontaneous.

solutions last week’s sudoku solutions

Capricorn (Dec22-Jan19)- This should shape up to be a big week for you Capricorn, with mercury moving into your career sector and high positive focus in your North node driving your ambition. If you really want to progress, try diplomacy and cooperation with a touch of charm. If you come across as selfish you will close the door.

last week’s crossword solutions

Aquarius (Jan20-Feb18)- You could find your sight gazing to far horizons this week and considering some serious study options. How willing are you to move outside of your comfort zone? It is best to trust your instincts on this and don’t overthink any major decisions. Pisces (Feb19-Mar20)- You might find many new options making themselves available for you this week. But are you ready? This is a very important question to mull over before you move ahead. It is best to envision yourself without limitation or fear, then go from there. You could just surprise yourself.

Featured Business

FOR 20 YEARS GREG AND RUTH SMITH have been part of thousands of lives as Murwillumbah and Tweed Valley locals have celebrated important moments. Weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, music & food festivals, markets, Easter, Christmas and community events and celebrations. What an honour! The business grew from humble beginnings when equipment from Greg’s school camp at Kunghur was lent out around town. The inventory of hire items soon grew. Ten years ago when his own children were to learn how business operates, they each bought 8 chairs. Now they have shares in chairs (Greg as Chairman) and make some pocket money on each hire. Ruth says, ‘It’s amazing how many people in the Valley want to sit down! Once one of our gorgeous white marquees is up then tables, white cloths and chairs logically follow to create inviting spaces. Since no celebration is complete without cold beer and drinks the mobile cool rooms, glasses, crockery etc are part of the business’s DNA making an organiser’s job SO easy. In appreciation of our regular and local customers Greg and Ruth deliver for free. That keeps customer costs down and the money in town.

Air Conditioning

Authorised service centre for most major brands.

Here’s what the locals say, ‘Hi Greg, Just a quick note to say thanks to you, for the marquee & accessories supplied for the 2016 Tyalgum Music Festival and the on time delivery, set up and dismantle as well. It was ideal because it was wet weather proof ...The Monks & organisers were very happy....Wendy (organsiser) Murwillumbah Marquee and Party Hire is now for sale and our current busy season is a great time to take on a proﬁtable business. Why not own a small business that can be easily grown? Call Greg on 0429872386 or Ruth on 0448649150

Bowls Notes The T.B.D.W.B.A. Shield, an annual challenge between Clubs within the District since it’s inception in 1988, was recently conducted at Pottsville B.C. Formatted with two teams of four players per side over three rounds of thirteen ends brings out the best in contestants as they battle for supremacy. Fine weather and a high quality of bowls across the greens was appreciated by spectators and bowlers alike. Round One and the Pottsville ladies were the only teams to come in with a win on both rinks. Come Round Two, and again Pottsville secured top scoring on both rinks to take them to the leader’s position with four rink wins in hand. Cudgen Leagues, Cabarita and Condong, who also won on both rinks in Round Two, were not far behind with each Club having a total of three rink wins. With only one round to be decided, Pottsville’s George Moore (Skip), Doreen Buckley, Pat Field, Judy Ahern, Coral Nathan (Skip), Trish Pollard,

with Judy Tuckey

Jill Morris and Julie Bridges, obviously determined to win the tournament this year, moved up into top gear, carried on plundering shots maintaining their position on top of the leader board, to claim victory and the prestigious shield. Well done, Pottsville! Last week’s Kingscliff Artie Booth $2400 Pairs was, as usual, an extremely popular tournament. So much so that, with three greens filled to capacity, an overfill of nominations unfortunately left several teams without a start. Top class bowling from all entrants rendered a great day of bowls in a competition formatted on three games of thirteen ends. With several teams all scoring wins in each round, Kingscliff’s Greg Barrack and Ian Taylor scooped the pool on 3 + 45 to take home first prize with the other five place getters all having three wins also with margins varying from +28 to +15. Congrats to Greg and Ian. Brunswick Heads’ Mixed Pairs Championship final last weekend resulted in an absolute thriller as Sherril Pearce and Richard Carbines duelled with Jenny

The victorious Pottsville ladies

Meinel and Denis Turnbull. Brilliant bowling from all players resulted in the score being 19-19 coming into the last end. In a photo finish Pearce and Carbines

were able to claim victory and the title with one shot up. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Helicopter Op Shop lands in Murwillumbah The Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter as a local charity currently operates six Helicopter Op Shops around our northern NSW region. In an exciting development, this vital emergency rescue service is now looking to open a new op shop in downtown Murwillumbah. Before it can proceed with lease arrangements the Service is seeking the support of the community and individuals to register and become a volunteer to work in the store. Fundraising Manager with the Service, Zeke Huish commented ‘Typically when we open a new shop we need around 30-40 volunteers to register and help us to operate the shop throughout the week’. ‘Our op shops offer a great social environment for volunteers of all ages and an opportunity to meet new people, all while helping to raise support that will enable us

to continue saving lives in the Tweed Valley’. With an operating budget of over $8M a year, the Service is not fully funded and relies on community and sponsorship support to help ensure it can be on standby 24hrs a day. ‘The income generated via our op shops plays an important role in the delivery of our service. Every volunteer is truly part of every rescue mission we fly’. The planned shop will be open Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm and Saturday mornings with volunteers able to help either for a full day, or for a morning or afternoon each week. ‘Depending on the level of volunteer registrations we look forward to having a new shop open early in the new year’ said Mr Huish. To register your interest before the end of October, contact the Service directly on 6627 4444.

Also there is a big prize for the best air of the weekend. Last year was massive so mark the 5th and 6th of November in your diary and

come check it out. Oo-La-La….. WSL Hits France Well the World Title race has headed to France with the it becoming a big battle in the mens, and a battle between 2 women, Tyler Wright and Courtney Conolouge. Swell is massive throughout the waiting period, the wind and the sandbanks in France the only thing that will hold competition off. On Tuesday night they held 2 heats of round one in six foot plus closeouts before calling it off as the onshore came up, with Parko and Kelly Slater relegated to round 2 sudden death heats. Both have a very slim chance of world title hopes but it would require aresult in almost every final of the 3 remaining events of the year, and some poor results from the top 3, John John, Gabriel medina, and Matt Wilkinson. The action is online and on Fox from about 5pm AEDST with the pre-contest talkfest, surfing action on after that. Surf has been pretty average of late, maybe just maybe some swell with the southerly change on Sunday morning – keep your fingers crossed! I’ll catch you in the waves…..

AT THE finale of the last surf life saving season we were very proud of our male Junior Surf Lifesaver of the Year representative Zane Patience being selected to represent not only Far North Coast Branch but also representing the branch at State level. Throughout these interview levels Zane has passionaletly pitched and promoted his “Nipper For a Day” Initialtive and as a club we are so proud of his achievements. This Saturday Zane with be hosting his first workshop and im sure it is going to be a great success. If you have ever wondered how to get involved in Lifesaving and Patrols, come to our Pathways into Life saving Information night at 6pm on Tuesday the 18th of October. Please email training@ cabaslsc.org.au if you are interested in the many opportunities the club has to

offer, especially the upcomimg Bronze Medallion course. The Southern Cross Credit Union has a wonderful initialive for all our Nippers. They will donate $5.00 to the Surf Club for every new account opened and they will also start off your savings by putting $5.00 into your new account. Community spirit at its best. In fact pop down there today for a sausage sizzle hosted by SCCU and helped out by the Club and start that account. Memebers draws are always a great way of finishing off the week or weekend with the Nippers BBQ on Friday and the “Boaties” raffles on Sunday. The Whales are proving to be only slightly more entertaining than the memebers so we look forward to you coming down and enjoying our company.

Come and celebrate women in sport at annual luncheon SINCE WOMEN were first allowed to patrol the beaches in the 1980s, the rise of women in surf has grown so fast that the number of women involved in Surf Life Saving nearly matches the number of men. On Saturday, October 15, the high profile ‘Women in Surf’ luncheon, hosted by Jacki Hendy and featuring former Champion Ironwoman Karla Gilbert aims to celebrate this growth, mixed with good humor, great food and comradery. “Women have always been involved in surf lifesaving, competing with the men prior to the introduction of women’s events 30 years ago,” said local Ironwoman and elite athlete Karla Gilbert. “I think this is one of the reasons women’s participation has been seen to grow at such as incredible rate, because, for the most part, we were already there.” “I’ve grown up with Surf Lifesaving and when I started I was competing against men, but by the time I entered senior ranks the number of women in the sport had grown to be virtually on par with the guys, which is fantastic to see,” Ms Gilbert said. “This is very important for us to continue to promote so the thousands of young girls coming through the ranks, can see what is possible.” “The annual Women in Surf luncheon is held to recognize and celebrate women’s contribution to Surf Life Saving,” said President of Palm Beach Nippers Gary Fraser. “Now in it’s third year we make very sure it is a wonderful social event. “The beach is a way of life for many

Australians, and for those involved with Surf Life Saving, whether at the competition level or simply as a nipper, it offers a chance for confidence building, lasting friendships, safety and wellbeing which isn’t found in most sports.” Join Women in Surf and other highprofile members of Australia’s iconic movement to say ‘Thank You’ for the dedication, time and energy of women who’ve made all of this possible. Jacki Hendy will host this event which will feature a host of special guests, including Karla Gilbert. There will be live entertainment throughout the afternoon along with raffles, prize giveaways and much more. Bring your friends and enjoy a fun filled afternoon of enjoyment and lots of laughter that helps fundraise for Women in Surf, while celebrating just how far women in surf have come since the 80s. Event information: When: Saturday, October 15. Time: 11:30am for 12.30pm Start Venue: Currumbin RSL Hosted by: Jacki Hendy, Patroness: Karla Gilbert (Ironwoman Champion), Special Guests Straight out of Rio, Comedian: Ellen Briggs, Live Entertainment: Steve Michael.
