Powerful New Ways to Save with Solar

“The Best Investment You Can Make in 2018 is More Solar Power for Your Home”

How to Get the Most from Your Solar Investment in 2018 Switch Power Companies Solar Power is the best investment you can make in 2018. In this special feature we will show you how you can maximise savings on your power bill with strategic new ways that make the most of new technologies and changing network conditions.

There are huge differences in the pricing of Energy Retailers today. You want to get the most for selling your solar, but you don’t want to pay more for everything else!

Some retailers set a high price so they can then give you a “discount” and many people believe the highest percentage discount is what you are looking for. It is confusing to try and compare offers and most people do not have time to wade through this mine field. At 888 Solar Tek we compare all the offers and negotiate even better deals for you.

Cash in on Solar Incentives

Power Prices Going Up Again

Predictions from industry experts have power prices going up by another 50% in the next two years. Reliance on aging coal generators and a lack of certainty for investors in new energy generation is creating a price spiral in the National Energy Market. Expect another 15-25% increase in July this year and more in 2019.

Solar Power can minimise the amount you pay for electricity now and protect you from ongoing price rises. Some of our clients are now getting credits from their electricity supplier instead of huge bills, by following our advice and strategies. The higher that electricity prices go, the more your solar energy is worth, not only to offset charges, but also to export to the grid for profit. Find out how easy it is for you to do the same.

Match the Solar Energy to Your Power Use

Everyone is different and how you use energy needs careful consideration before just slapping a cheap package deal on your roof. Solar panels last decades, so you want to make sure your investment is sized and placed to erase your carbon footprints as much as possible.

Is it better to use solar for your hot water or use off peak from the grid? is air conditioning more efficient with panels facing East or West? We ask the right questions to get you an efficiency that gives extra value to your solar investment every day.

The Federal Government is still offering Small technology Certificates (STC’s) that greatly reduce the upfront cost of new solar panels.

Every year you get less STC’s, so it is better act now while the benefit is Sell Your Power for Profit higher.to888 Solar Tek make it easy to The solar feed in tariff is now 12-15c claim your benefit by doing all the per kWh, which means you can sell excess paperwork and trading them on your power to the grid to cover your night time behalf, giving you an up front discount energy use and daily supply charge. If you on your new solar system. The rules produce and sell enough power, the change all the time and you need the electricity company will owe you money! right equipment to get money back As prices go up you will get more and from adding solar to your home. more for the excess electricity you sell.

Get Around Network Rules

It is disappointing to find out that the network won’t let you export an unlimited amount of solar power to the grid.

However, there are many ways to benefit from producing more power and to ensure you are exporting the maximum most of the time. Our design consultants look at your total energy picture to find new tricks that you did not know about before.

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

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

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

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

Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels and Batteries if Export is Limited

Panel Level Optimization

Every solar panel on a string affects every other panel, so one panel in shade can bring down the performance of a whole system. Tigo have now released special electronic optimizers, so shade will no longer hold back the flow of power. Tigo optimizers also allow more flexibility for fitting panels on difficult roofs, and work with any inverter.

If your roof has uneven shading, then Tigo optimizers can increase output by up to 30%. They can also be retrofitted to old panels that are shade affected, fixing any performance lag and boosting your solar power production.

Long Term Warranties

Our Solar panels have a 25 year production warranty, no moving parts and only require occasional cleaning.

They just work and keep on working for decades of reliable power production.

We choose the best brands to give you the most value and reliability in solar technology today.

Slash Your Hot Water Bill with a Sanden Eco Plus System

If Essential Energy will let you export 5 kWh or more to the grid, then stacking your The Sanden Eco Plus® Hot Water Heat roof with as many solar panels as possible will work well for you. If export is limited, consider storing extra power in a battery bank for night time use. A combination of solar Pump System use up to 80% less for export, self use maximised during the day and battery storage is a great strategy to energy than conventional electric bring your bill closer to zero for medium households with 3-4 people. water heaters.

Deputy Unit Controller of Murwillumbah SES John Macgregor-Skinner with Tweed Shire Council Flood and Stormwater Engineer Leon McLean and SES Unit Controller Jack Frost at the community drop-in session

one of the problems in 2017 was that no one thought the flood would go over the 1954 flood level.

“The mentality we have to get around is that it’s not going to happen to me,” Mr Frost said.

“There are a lot of new people in the area and many of them don’t understand the flood risks, or do research and think about what they will do in a flood situation.

“A lot of people were complacent, but it’s called a floodplain for a reason - the whole Tweed Valley has been shaped by a millennia of floods.”

Mr Frost said there were key messages the SES wanted the public to go away with.

“We are asking for the public to learn about the flood risk in their area,” he said.

“We want them to have an evacuation plan that doesn’t include Tweed Valley Way, which is the first to go under.

“We want residents to decide whether to stay or go early as roads will be cut if they wait too long.

“People need to plan ahead. For instance there is a misconception that evacuation centres provide bedding but they don’t so people need to take their own bedding, blankets and pillows.

“They need to think before all this happens because under stress you will sometimes make very bad decisions.”

Deputy Unit Controller of Murwillumbah SES, John MacgregorSkinner said that for 24 hours at the height of the crisis they received a call for assistance every five minutes and a rescue request every 12 minutes.

“Then in the four hours from midnight to 4am the SES received a call every two minutes and a flood rescue request every four minutes,” Mr Macgregor-Skinner said.

“There were also many undocumented rescues as boats went past buildings and took stranded residents onboard.”

During the 2017 floods the failure of residents to heed evacuation warnings put SES member’s lives at risk.

One SES rescue boat with two members aboard trying to evacuate residents at the height of the crisis capsized, with one of the volunteers lucky to make it inside the home and help the other man to safety.

Mr Frost said that although the Murwillumbah SES has four vehicles and six boats, one of the storage sheds was hit by a landslide so they couldn’t get to sandbags and some of the boats, so they had limited resources to work with.

“We also only have 18 active volunteers to do all the rescue work, though we had more behind the scenes manning phones etc,” he said.

“Some members couldn’t get in and we had 10 people who owned homes and businesses that were flooded so they were getting calls to come home because the houses were going under.

“The people of Dungay always look after themselves which takes a strain off our services.

“We couldn’t get to Uki, Tumbulgum, Burringbar, Tyalgum or Mooball so now we are trying to implement Community Action Teams in these areas so we can make one call to a village and the message is passed along and the plan for that CAT team is then actioned.

“There are now four levels of volunteering with the SES: “Active members, spontaneous volunteers to man phones, do meals and sandbagging, corporate volunteers who form a relationship with employers and they release then from work to come and help and Community Action Teams provide smaller communities and groups with an opportunity to volunteer with the NSW SES. “CAT volunteers can use their skills and local knowledge to coordinate community responses.

“Basic training and high vis gear is provided by the SES.” Anyone interested in volunteering can visit https://www.ses.nsw.gov.au/ volunteer/ or speak to their local SES branch members.

MURWILLUMBAH RESIDENTS and businesses attended a Tweed Shire Council drop-in session on Friday, April 6, to learn some critically important lessons about future flooding of the CBD, with Council Flood and Stormwater Engineer Leon McLean saying that the levee will eventually be breached.

“If you live behind the levee in town, it can and will eventually be breached so residents can’t be complacent,” he said.

“Residents need to understand the risk and be prepared.”

Animated computer modelling of flooding of the earthen levee at the southern end of the town, showed how quickly the area behind the levee would fill up.

“It’s like a bowl in there and once the levee is breached within two or three hours it will fill right up,” he said.

The session was organised in response to a survey of residents behind the Murwillumbah CBD levee in October 2017, which found that few people understood the flood risk in central Murwillumbah or had a flood evacuation plan.

Mr McLean and Catchment Simulations Solutions consultant David Tetley have prepared the draft Murwillumbah CBD Flood Levee and Drainage Study and were on hand to discuss flood responses and review public feedback.

“We have always done flood modelling but now the technology is much more advanced and we can predict much more accurately what might happen in these events,” Mr McLean told The Weekly.

“The aim is to get an idea of flood risk and then to know what to do in those situations.

“This meeting is for the Murwillumbah CBD but we will do a study for South Murwillumbah as well.

“The key messages we want people to go away with are: learn your flood risk, work out where you will get warnings from and work out how to respond to those warnings.”

SES members were on hand at the Tweed Shire Council drop-in session to discuss evacuation plans, with Unit Controller of SES Murwillumbah Jack Frost telling The Weekly that

It is not too late to look for another site. In our view the government should make public the reasons that have been given for rejecting other sites closer to the main population centre of the Tweed.

Poor choice of hospital site

TWEED HEADS

*Redeemable for 1 month from publication date

We were shocked last week to read about the State Government’s decision to develop a new Tweed Hospital at Kingscliff.

Local member Geoff Provest MP is well aware of the contentious nature of this proposal that involves the rezoning of prime agricultural land on Cudgen Road.

While this is a major cause for concern, there are other competing reasons why this decision should be opposed.

When residing in Kingscliff we strongly opposed the proposed rezoning of land in the same locality for building a new police headquarters. In the end, good sense prevailed on that issue.

The proposed rezoning of prime agricultural land for a purpose such as this is unconscionable.

While we recognise the attractions of a greenfield site for the new hospital, we will never agree to a proposal such as this.

It would represent the thin edge of the wedge in opening up more prime agricultural land for urban purposes.

Location theory suggests that there will be increased pressure from other users to look for land in close proximity to the hospital.

Once this land is paved over, it can never be recovered.

We also consider that building the hospital in this location will further destroy the village atmosphere of Kingscliff. The High School and TAFE already attract large numbers of visitors.

Traffic congestion will become horrendous. Access to the Kingscliff location will prove to be very difficult for elderly people living in Tweed Heads and other locations around the shire. During periods of flood, the hospital will be very difficult to access.

We are also concerned that a new hospital, in this hilltop location, will exceed the existing

Hospital welcomed

What good news about the site for the new Tweed Hospital.

In my opinion it is a good site, particularly as there is room for parking and allows for expansion in the future.

It must be accessible within a reasonable timeframe for everyone in the shire, something that the current hospital is not.

Congratulations to the team selecting the site. Now we await out new hospital, may it be built ASAP. Jean Carter, Tweed

Crossing double lines

As a former motorcycle rider training instructor and having taught various teenagers how to drive a car, I have seen that a large part of the problem with road users cutting corners on double lines and running wide on sharp bends is that the driver turns into the bend too early.

A fear of running wide and off the road compels the driver/ rider to commence the turn well before the apex of the bend. This generally results in cutting the corner on a right hand bend, putting the vehicle partly on the wrong side of the road.

On a left hand bend turning in too early closes up the bend and results in a wide exit, again, often onto the wrong side of the road and into the path of oncoming traffic. Of course, speed exacerbates the issue.

Hand in hand with turning in too early is the eyeline of the driver. We drive where our eyes are looking, so if the eyes are focussed on the “escape” plan of the inside of the bend, that’s where we end up.

Unfortunately correct cornering lines and techniques, including the importance of vehicle positioning prior to the bend, along with eye focus and position are often not specifically taught to new/learner drivers. By focusing on a later turn in and a later apex, the issue pretty much solves itself.

Alas, I doubt that anyone who can’t work out why they seem to regularly cut corners or run wide on narrow country roads will read this and give it a try.

Hilton Fletcher, Casuarina

Speed on Tweed

I would like to show my support for the return of Speed On Tweed.

As mentioned in your article the last time it was run was as part of World Rally, an event which at the time was set to run in our shire for 10 years.

What a shame that Tweed lost such a huge event to Coffs Harbour. Well the 10 years is nearly up and just maybe World Rally are looking to move again.

I suggest the new CEO of Destination Tweed be given direction from Tweed Council to try to entice World Rally back.

The fact is the majority of the race could be run in Kyogle Shire with Tweed Shire providing the same infrastructure that was provided back in 2009.

Any person doubting the positive impacts of this event should check the facts with Coffs Harbour people and please note they have just as many valuable environmental assets there as we do here. I say go World Rally with Speed on Tweed as part of the entire event.

Kevin Skinner, Tweed

School zone needed

This is a response to a few negative comments I read in the past few weeks about the Tyalgum Road school zone.

Someone mentioned the zone being a money trap for police, this is definitely wrong. I have driven on that section pretty much every day since the opening of the school zone and not once seen speed cameras or police.

Many people pointed out that the school is over a kilometre away from the intersection and that there is no pedestrian traffic.

This is true, however, the 100 plus students, teachers and parents entering and especially exiting the property in cars and buses are at greater risk of an accident by entering an 80km/h zone.

Most town schools are located in 50km/h zones in which vehicle movements are relatively safe.

People not slowing down on this section are seriously

putting other’s lives at risk.

Exiting vehicles expect other cars appearing in the distance travelling at 40 km/h and let me tell you some are not. Those who complain about slowing down should one day drive onto the property and try to come out at 3.10pm in the afternoon with kids in their car and see what they think about being inconvenienced.

There are some number facts about the effects of following the 40km/h speed limit. It takes 22.5 seconds to travel the 500m section at 80km/h. It takes 45 seconds to drive through it at 40km/h. Is it worth getting to our destination 22.5 seconds quicker and possibly endanger lives? And I think the zone is even shorter than 500m.

Someone also suggested to “remove the useless obstacle to free traffic flow for all” which makes no sense whatsoever because Tyalgum Rd has no flowing traffic issues.

I have to admit, sometimes it does seem unnecessary to slow down (eg 3.30-4pm) when the number of exiting vehicles is low, however, in my opinion the benefits outweigh the risks.

Monika Robson, Murwillumbah

Dogs off leash

Referring to your article ‘Offleash debate continues’ - April 5.

Councillor Owen’s dog Ben was lucky to recover but how easily it could have been a child - what would you say then?

A survey conducted on a local on-leash beach for two consecutive Sunday mornings for two hours each day found 10 dogs on lead and 35 off lead for both days.

Ranger Mark Bignell, you talk about hefty fines but how many have been issued?

Before we have more off-leash areas let us have council manage the areas we have now.

Hospital location a shock

I can’t believe how out of touch the so called people who have decided where the new hospital is to go. Farmers are going to be losing income as it will become almost impossible to keep going.

Guess the powers that be don’t have to worry about where their income or food is going to come from.

The ideal place is in Tweed Heads as it is central to everything. All Tweed buses terminate in Tweed Heads and two of the buses go past the hospital and specialists centre just around from the hospital.

Public transport in the Tweed is terrible and in our area we don’t have a bus service, only our village bus which goes six times a day into Tweed.

It is alright for people to say the elderly can get an ambulance to the hospital but ambulances aren’t taxis. If you have an appointment with a specialist at the hospital how are you supposed to get there and back as not everyone drives.

I have been a patient at the present hospital a couple of times and have no complaints as the staff all go beyond and above the call of duty.

A lot of people I know that volunteer at the hospital as well as the gift shop have said they “won’t be going out to Cudgen to volunteer”, these people have worked for years to raise the money to buy equipment for the hospital.

People have been calling for over fifteen years for a new hospital and it just fell on deaf ears which is normal for politicians.

There has been plenty of land around the hospital over the years but it has been snapped up by money-hungry developers. There is still plenty of land in the Tweed Heads area they could purchase.

If they can afford to spend billions of dollars on the West Connex in Sydney as well as other massive spending on other developments in Sydney. It is as though Sydney is the only place in NSW. I moved up to the Tweed Heads area ten years ago and wouldn’t live anywhere else. I moved to my

present place as I am not far from the shopping centres, the hospital and entertainment. Not in my wildest dreams did I think they would consider building a hospital in a farming area on a terrible road. When we get a lot of rain the area floods and the roads are cut off that not even a semi can get through.

What about the parking? It is easy for the powers that be to say there will be plenty of parking, I have yet to see a hospital public or private that has enough parking for everyone. Have any of them been to John Flynn to see what the parking is like? I think not.

Our local member and his partners have never been out to our village or even been seen in the shopping centres to see what the residents need or want most.

Councillors vote for skate park consultation Kingscliff skate park

Tweed Shire Councillors voted unanimously to hold a round table meeting in the first week of May to discuss the proposed Kingscliff skate park. The meeting will include discussions around the location and design as well as associated park works.

Short-term letting

Council will refrain from taking action against unauthorised or non-compliant short-term holiday letting (STHL) following a motion by Cr Warren Polglase and Cr Pryce Allsop.

The motion read that “Council defers taking any widespread action against any unauthorised or non-compliant short term holiday let (STHL) uses, until the release of new, anticipated State Government STHL legislative and planning policy controls, except in those circumstances where it can be demonstrated that such uses are having an unreasonable impact on the amenity of adjoining or surrounding neighbours as determined by Council”.

Cr Chris Cherry voted against the motion.

Tweed tourism tender

An urgent workshop has been scheduled for Friday, April 13, to discuss tenders for the marketing, promotion and destination management of the Tweed.

Council advertised an expression of interest in March this year, and received eight, including from Destination Tweed, who have managed the Tweed’s tourism marketing and promotion since 1990.

Councillors were handed a report that recommended five of the eight agencies be shortlisted to submit tenders to Council.

Cr Warren Polglase and Mayor Katie Milne put forward an alternate motion that a workshop be held and the expressions of interest to be considered at their April 19 meeting.

Councillors voted unanimously to hold the workshop.

$2 million grant funds

A variety of projects from across the shire have been put forward for almost $2 million in funding from round two of the State Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund.

A Tweed Coast Koala Holding Facility planned for Pottsville has been put forward as the number one option for the Tweed electorate at a cost of $261,000.

The facility would operate in collaboration with the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and also include a koala food tree plantation to provide food resources to koalas at the facility.

Other options, in order of priority, i n c l u d e d a Tw e e d H e a d s S E S headquarters valued at $1.6 million and riverbank stabilisation costing $900,000.

The funding requires a 50-50 split between community and sporting projects. Councillors chose the construction of a sporting and performing arts facilities at Arkinstall Park and Tweed River High School as the number one sporting project for Tweed.

The project is costed at $5 million and will deliver a shared cultural and community hub, incorporating three indoor sporting courts, a theatre with supporting specialist facilities and outdoor sporting fields to complement the existing facilities at Arkinstall Park.

Upgrading the Tweed Heads South Aquatic Centre was listed as the second option, at a cost of $150,000, whilst stage

one of the Kingscliff Sport & Recreation Complex was the third option.

The proposed Kingscliff Skate Park was listed as the number 12 option at an estimated cost of $995K. The Gallery Downtown project in Murwillumbah was voted as the number one community project in the Lismore electorate, whilst riverbank stabilisation costing $900,000 was second, followed by solar panels and upgrades to the Community Centre.

Councillors voted for cycleways up to the maximum funds of just under $1 million to be the number one sporting option in the Lismore electorate, followed by fencing and carparking for the Jim Devine Football Field in Murwillumbah and replacement of the grandstand roof of the Stan Sercombe Oval in Murwillumbah.

All councillors apart from Cr Katie Milne voted for these grant funding options.

Roadside stall

A roadside fruit and vegetable stall at Kyogle Road, Byangum, will be modified to comply with Council regulations after a new stall was constructed following the floods last year.

The stall was washed away during last year’s floods and was rebuilt approximately 20m to the north east.

The Tweed Local Environmental Plan states that roadside stalls can be built up to a maximum of 20 square metres, however, the current stall has an area of 24.5 square metres.

Councillors, apart from Cr Pryce Allsop, voted to approve the roadside stall on the condition that the stall be modified to a maximum of 20 square metres and only sell food that is produced on the adjoining property.

Wollumbin Street roadworks

MURWILLUMBAH RESIDENTS can expect road works to begin on one of the most hotly debated streets in the shire, Wollumbin Street, to commence works by early May, according to Tweed Shire Council.

Murwillumbah residents have been calling for Wollumbin Street to be repaired for years with emails from residents to The Weekly dating back more than 12 months and comments pre-dating the 2017 flood.

Grass and even the occasional flower could be seen springing up through the cracks developing along Wollumbin Street.

“Wollumbin Street, from the Alma Street bridge west to include the Brisbane Street roundabout, plus Brisbane Street, from the Wollumbin Street roundabout to just shy of Murwillumbah Street, will be rebuilt at a cost of $1.47 million before the end of June 2018,” a spokesperson for Tweed Shire Council said.

“This project, funded by the NSW Roads and Maritime Service (RMS), is scheduled to start in early May 2018.”

The Weekly also questioned the last time Wollumbin Street underwent repairs and the Council spokesperson estimated “possibly up to 30 years ago”.

The Wollumbin Street roadworks are likely to resolve a range of issues including patches of concrete and potholes, which are often some of the first road visitors experience when travelling through Murwillumbah.

“What’s with your main street Murwillumbah?” a visitor questioned via social media referring to the condition of Wollumbin Street.

Council has indicated that the $1.3 million BlackSpot Program funded by the Federal Government to be completed by the end of June after the 12-week project had lost some time due to rain.

The Weekly also asked Council if works are planned for the remainder of Wollumbin Street up to Byangum Road.

A Council response will Grass growing through the cracks be printed next week. on Wollumbin Street

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Tweed benefits from Comm Games ‘ghost coast’

You see a house or property you like and want to make it your home. You find the money – most likely from a bank – and you pay it to the owner. They hand over the title to the property and joy – you have a new home. Easy isn’t it?

Well, not quite. There are many potential pitfalls. As it is probably the biggest investment of your life, it is wise to get good legal advice to ensure your interests are protected in the property settlement process.

Anneka Frayne, solicitor with Stacks Law Firm, explains there is far more involved in settlement of a property purchase than just swapping money for a title deed.

“Settlement of a property purchase can be a complex legal process that involves people representing several interests who are all required to be present,” Ms Frayne said.

“In many settlements people are selling one property to buy another. You can have a string of solicitors or conveyancers representing their clients around a table to examine documents.”

Essentially the purchaser gives the vendor’s legal representative the money owed for the property and the vendor hands over the property’s title deed.

But if a mortgage is involved, and it usually is, a representative from the lender may also attend the settlement to hand over funds for the purchase. If the vendor has a mortgage, a representative from that lender may also attend to ensure their loan is repaid.

When the lender has provided the money for the purchase, the lender will register a mortgage against the property. This means anyone who searches the title of the property will find the lender has an interest in the property as well and will need to be paid out if the new owner sells the property.

“The vital part of the process that the buyer’s lawyer performs is ensuring that any mortgage over the property is removed before the handover, and that no one else has any right to claim part ownership in the form of a caveat,” Ms Frayne said.

“There are many other matters to deal with, such as stamp duty, council rates, lender’s mortgage insurance, building and contents insurance. It’s also important to arrange a final inspection of the property before you finally go into settlement.

“Make sure everything you paid for is working, such as water and electricity, fixtures such as floor coverings are still in place and there is no new structural damage.

on the contrary, he says the popular Kingscliff eatery has been busier than last year.

“We are always busy in Queensland holidays and that hasn’t changed,” he said.

“I think there is more activity this year than last so maybe instead of going to the Gold Coast people are avoiding that area because of all the publicity surrounding the crowds and traffic at the games.

“We’ve heard that the accommodation in the area is all 100 per cent full, even as far down as Santai.

“A lot of the people working at the games are staying down this way as well.”

Mr Freeburn said the recent opening of Rowan Robinson Park has been a boon for Kingscliff businesses.

“The games have coincided with the opening of Rowan Robinson Park and that’s been great,” he said.

“It’s made the beachfront accessible to everyone now.

“It’s definitely value added - it’s not just a car park and a cafe and retail, there are also some activities and people can actually access the beach now where they couldn’t before so it’s great.

“I’m very happy with how it’s all going.”

First stage of airport expansion complete THE GOLD Coast Airport has completed the first stage of project LIFT with an $86 million upgrade including a new apron and taxiway, which the airport said will “expand capacity and improve efficiency”.

The upgrade includes a 20,000 square metre expansion of the apron area to facilitate parking for up to four additional aircraft, as part of project LIFT. The taxiway project, called Taxiway Charlie and separate to Project LIFT, has created a full parallel taxiway to the runway which the airport said will reduce potential delays by allowing aircraft to reach parking positions more efficiently.

The projects were completed in time for the busy Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games period and come as the airport continues to experience growth in passenger numbers.

Queensland Airports Limited Chief Executive Officer Chris Mills said completion of the apron works was a critical first step in the realisation of Project LIFT. “This allows us to turn our focus to the delivery of stage two, commencing after the Commonwealth Games,” he said.

“This will see the terminal expanded to the south with provision of aerobridges to service these new aircraft parking bays.

“In the meantime, these bays can be used as overflow parking space for aircraft during peak times like the Commonwealth Games.”

Mr Mills said Taxiway Charlie would help alleviate bottlenecks during peak times.

“The completion of this project means passengers will experience less time waiting on the taxiways as their plane enters or exits the apron,” he said.

“Improving efficiency is a great outcome for both our passengers and airline partners.”

The airport plans to commence work on stage two of Project LIFT later this year.

Sioban Bradley said there has been no negative impact at all on their business.

“We’re going great,” she said.

“Our business went up over Easter and it’s stayed there.

“It’s pretty much as you would expect for Queensland holidays.

“We tend to get customers come from the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane and we pull from the south as well.

“The streets around here are pretty normal.

“People from Boundary Street on the border are saying that Marine Parade is dead, though that might have changed.

“I caught up with a friend who is a manager of a restaurant in Burleigh and their numbers have been down since Easter.

“It’s been really dead there. They are so down in figures, so they will have a steep climb to get back to where they were.”

What happens at settlement when buying a home

By Jo Kennett DESPITE BUSINESSES north of the border reporting reduced patronage during the Commonwealth Games and being dubbed the ‘ghost coast’ by the media, Tweed businesses are performing well.

The Weekly caught up with several Tweed Shire business owners who all reported no downturn and in most cases it was business as usual or better.

Mick Woolway from Scales Seafood in Tweed Heads said his figures hadn’t really changed.

“It’s probably not as busy as it normally is in Queensland school holidays but it’s still slightly better than an average week’s trade,” Mr Woolway said.

“We do a lot of local trade and as far as the Commonwealth Games impact goes it hasn’t been disastrous by any means.

“That said I do know a few people that have gone overseas because it was supposed to be too busy on the coast and they wanted to get away from that.

“One of the boys that works here has gone to Bali with his family.

“We’re pretty happy with how everything’s going though, and the games don’t seem to have had much of an impact really.”

Choux Box Cafe owner Brett Freeburn hasn’t noticed any downturn in business,

Arts and heritage boost for Murwillumbah A strategic project to increase visitors to Murwillumbah by promoting arts and heritage has received $887,000 in funding through the NSW Government’s Regional Growth – Environment and Tourism Fund.

The four projects funded under the Murwillumbah Arts & Heritage Precinct are: • Knox Park – completion of Stage 2: Including a new accessible toilet block and replacement bus shelter to create a safer and more functional space and a more inviting entry to the park.

• Caldera Wall at Tweed Regional Museum: A feature wall within the Museum focusing on the natural history of the region, including Indigenous perspectives, the geological story of the Tweed volcanic region, biodiversity, human

impact and contemporary landscapes.

• Treasures of the Tweed – mural restoration: Restoration of older sections of a public mural along Commercial Road, featuring the Tweed’s biodiversity from the mountains to the sea. A protective coating will also be applied to preserve and protect this unique piece of public art.

• Murwillumbah Arts and Heritage Precinct App: Consolidating all the art and heritage information of Murwillumbah, this phone app will enable visitors to undertake self-guided tours of each attraction, gallery or artist studio, provide discounts to local cafés and retailers and provide tourist, historical and interesting information about Murwillumbah and our creative region.

New health sites unveiled The NSW Government revealed big news for local health services in the Tweed on Tuesday, with the unveiling of the site for a new $534 million Tweed hospital and a $5.9 million ambulance station for Pottsville.

The Tweed Valley Hospital is set to be built on a 16-hectare site opposite the Kingscliff TAFE, between Cudgen and Kingscliff.

For more information on this State project, visit www.tweedvalleyhospital.health.nsw.gov.au Meanwhile, work will soon get underway on the development of the Pottsville Ambulance Station, located at 1128 Pottsville Road.

The building will accommodate four ambulances, new offices and staff parking.

Left: Happy about the news of the location of Pottsville’s own ambulance station were (from left) Duty Operations Manager Terry Savage, Superintendent (Northern Zone) Stephen Flanaghan and Kingscliff Station Officer Gary ‘Syd’ Francis.

Compose yourself at Gallery photography workshop Opportunities are now open for budding photographers to participate in a two-part workshop being run by a current exhibitor at the Tweed Regional Gallery.

Rob Olver’s exhibition ‘Of Rivers and Floods’ features works examining the destruction of and powerful community response to, last year’s floods.

To capture the contrasting, powerful energies swirling around the flood and its aftermath, Mr Olver went back to basics, shooting black-and-white images on film.

The techniques he used will be the subject of the two workshops titled ‘Composition and Natural Light’ to be held at the Tweed Regional Gallery on Sunday 15 April and Sunday 6 May.

Participants will be provided with a disposable camera during the first session and will be guided by the artist in an exploration of the gallery surrounds, with opportunities for direct one-on-one work.

Prints will be examined in the second session, with critical evaluation of how composition and lighting techniques affected the final image.

The workshop is open to all photographers, regardless of skill, 16 years and older.

The cost for the two days is $75 and bookings can be made by visiting www.trybooking.com/TVRG. For more information, contact the Tweed Regional Gallery on (02) 6670 2790.

Personal trainers and others who operate commercial businesses in Tweed parks are reminded they will need to build the cost of a licence into their next year’s budget.

The need for recreational public space-using businesses to be licensed was a new policy adopted by Council at its December 2017 meeting and comes into effect from 1 July 2018.

Tweed Shire Council Manager Recreation Services Stewart Brawley said the change would provide the framework for Council to manage such activities.

“We have a responsibility to manage these activities as they can have an impact on others in the community and it’s something which most other councils do already,” Mr Brawley said.

“The vast majority of these businesses operate in a respectful and neighbourly way but we have had complaints and, as it stands now, we have no way of acting on these.

“Fees for the licences have been carefully calculated as we want to ensure these businesses, which are doing great things to promote physical activity in our community, do not see this as a financial burden.”

The annual fee for a Commercial Park Use Licence, allowing a business to use a public park for 10 hours a week or less has been set at $260 or $5 a week. More frequent use will be charged a rate of $520 or $10 a week.

The holding of a licence will not translate to any greater degree of exclusivity for any aspect of park use and holders will still be responsible for their conduct when interacting with casual park users and residents.

For more information about the licences, call Council on (02) 6670 2400.

Learn more about flood risks at free barbecue It’s a little over a year since the flood and you’re all invited to join together as a community to reflect at a community catchup at Murwillumbah’s Knox Park this Thursday (12 April).

The event was due to be held on 29 March, however was postponed due to rain. There will be a free barbecue, with kids’ activities, lots of giveaways and live music. The SES, Australian Red Cross and Thrive 2484 will be there.

It’s also an opportunity to find out more about flood risks in central Murwillumbah and talk one-on-one with Council flood experts about the Murwillumbah CBD Flood Levee and Drainage Study, which is on exhibition for public comment until 4 May. Bring a blanket to enjoy some company and share and reflect as our community acknowledges that we are ‘one year on’ with recovery still in progress.

More youth space opens at Les Burger Field An official opening of the expanded youth precinct at Les Burger Field in Cabarita will be held on Saturday 21 April.

The opening will be held in the leadup to the Momentum Youth Festival, being organised by Cabarita Youth Service.

The $130,000 renovation around the existing skate park on the site includes the addition of a multi-function half basketball court area along with seating, shelter and landscaping.

It was completed with the assistance of a $20,000 grant from the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership fund along with $20,000 from the Cabarita Beach and Pottsville Beach Lions Club.

Council’s Director of Community and Natural Resources, Tracey

Stinson, said an expanded youth space was needed to cater for the Tweed Coast’s growing population.

“The new facilities will ensure the Les Burger Fields youth recreation space caters to a wide range of users,” Ms Stinson said.

“The skate park and other existing facilities at Les Burger Field are well utilised and these improvements will make it even more of a focal point for young people and their families.”

The upgrade follows on from recommendations in Council’s Youth Strategy and Action Plan, adopted in 2013.

The concept plan was developed by Council officers in consultation with representatives from a range of local groups.

Project group finalised but you can still have your say Council last week finalised the membership of a project reference group to help identify and assess solutions to protect Bray Park Weir from future tidal inundation.

The group of 12 comprises 10 nominees from the community, plus two councillors.

It is anticipated that the group will meet between four and six times before it can present to Council a preferred option or mix of options to mitigate the risk of saltwater ingress into the Bray Park Weir pool.

Nineteen nominations were received from the community to join the group, with Council expanding the community representation from eight to ten members to accommodate the strong interest in this issue.

The successful community nominees were: • Ken Baker – neighbouring landowner to Bray Park Weir property • Peter Robson – representing recreational river users • Brett Sander – adjacent residential property owner and engineer • Corey Crosthwaite – landowner representing the Upper Weir Property Association

• Neil Baker – landowner representing the Upper Weir Property Association • Glen Jones – landowner representing landowners south of Slippery Crossing, along Solomons Road to Old Lismore Road south • Peter Tomsett – landowner and retired engineer representing the Lower Oxley Land Owner Group • James Perrin – representing critical water user Stone and Wood brewery and other businesses dependent on a highquality water supply • Simon Fitzpatrick – representing recreational fishers and fish habitat conservation, and • Michael McDonald – representing Tweed Canegrowers.

Anyone with an interest in this project is asked to contribute their ideas on the options to mitigate the risk of saltwater inundation into the Bray Park Weir pool by contacting one of the above members of the Project Reference Group.

Alternatively, you can register online at www.yoursaytweed.com. au/BrayParkWeir to provide direct input to the project team.

The contact details for all Project Reference Group members can be found on the project page at yoursaytweed.com.au

Flood road repairs on track for completion this year Council is on track to complete all road flood-damage repairs by the end of the year, with the final contracts for major repairs expected to be let this month.

“Currently, we expect to complete all road, bridge and stormwater repairs by the end of the year,” Manager Infrastructure Delivery Tim Mackney said. “If we meet this timeline, that’s 21 months post-flood, well short of the 27-month funding window open for Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangement (NDRRA) applications.”

One year on from the record flood of March 2017, Council is nearing the halfway mark in road, bridge and stormwater asset repairs, which accounted for $28.9 million out of the total $49 million damages bill left in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Debbie.

To date, Council has repaired more than 1200 road damage items out of a total of 1550 for a cost of $8 million and has contracts signed for a further $5.5 million in repairs, bringing us to the halfway mark in roads recovery spend.

Two of the five minor road works packages have been completed, with the remainder expected to be completed by the end of July, accounting for 1460 damage items.

Three major road repair packages have been let, with Tweed Valley Way at Blacks Drain completed. The remainder of the major

repair contracts is expected to be awarded by Council this month.

In September 2017, Council secured a grant for half the funds needed to replace Byrrill Creek Bridge with a flood-proof, two-lane concrete bridge at a cost of $4.35 million by the end of June next year.

It also secured seven grants to better understand flooding and improve flood-resilience in the shire through additional river and stream gauges, a flood study of South Murwillumbah and new voluntary house purchase and house raising schemes.

All up, Council has completed $18.6 million of repairs to Councilowned assets out of the $49 million damages bill left in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Debbie.

All damaged plant and materials have been replaced; 90 per cent of sportsfield and 77 per cent of waterway infrastructure and riparian zone repairs have been completed. Operational building assets, such as the Buchanan Street Depot, have been repaired and work is continuing on other damaged community buildings.

While water and sewerage services were restored to normal within weeks of the flood, further repairs and improvements worth some $3.5 million are yet to be delivered.

The repair of our flood assets, such as levees, has been contracted out to Public Works Advisory and this work is well under way.

The Bray Park Weir Project Reference Group will aim to help identify and assess solutions to protect the weir from future tidal inundation.

WATER WEEK 2

The Tweed Regional Gallery will participate in a worldwide effort this week to enhance the enjoyment of experiencing great works of art.

The Slow Art movement, celebrated on Slow Art Day Saturday 14 April, is focused on helping more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.

From Wednesday 11 to Sunday 15 April, a gallery educator will focus on a particular work in the collection from 11am, leading a discussion about the work and its context.

Gallery Education and Audience Development Officer Jodi Ferrari said the discussions would not require any specialist art knowledge, just an open mind.

“Our Gallery is also a busy place and we understand how hard it is for most people to slow down in their bustling lives,” Ms Ferrari said.

“It’s rare to sit with one piece of art for more than a few moments, however the Slow Art movement emphasises that this activity, if practiced continuously, will bring great joy for decades.

“The deep looking encouraged during Slow Art experiences is a lifelong skill that will continue to provide rewarding experiences in museums and galleries for years to come.”

The Slow Art movement is grounded on the premise that one should savour artworks in a conscious and deliberate manner rather than consume them one after the next as eye candy.

The Tweed Regional Gallery is one of 185 venues around the world promoting Slow Art Day: a concept officially launched in 2010 which has since spread to every continent, including Antarctica.

Participants are invited to complement their slow art experience with a regular gallery tour of exhibitions and the Margaret Olley Art Centre, which start each day at 11.30am.

Social media impacts local business’s reputation

By Jo Kennett A LOCAL business has seen the devastating consequences social media can have on a business’s reputation.

Wayne Jackson, manager of Cabarita Beach Pet Resort, said several false and damaging comments were posted on social media after a dog escaped the Clothiers Creek Road facility, the first in 29 years to do so.

Mr Jackson said the dog, Lector, was in one of the exercise yards, when he managed to jump the sixfoot fence and escape.

“Our enclosures have six-foot fences and we have never had a dog try to attempt to jump that height,” he said.

“It was the dog’s third time here and he’d been here all weekend without a problem or looking like trying to jump it.

“He is a timid dog but he’s also adventurous and since then we’ve found out that he can jump pretty high fences and it’s not the first time he’s disappeared from somewhere.

“We had builders over the back so whether it was the drill guns they have been using or something we don’t know, but he cleared the fence into the back paddock while the staff were cleaning out their kennels.”

Mr Jackson and his staff searched frantically for Lector, walking through paddocks, then driving the roads in the area.

When the staff went home, Mr Jackson continued searching the paddocks with a torch until midnight.

“I couldn’t sleep and was up all night looking and hoping he would turn up,” he said.

“I felt sick in the stomach I was so worried about him.”

The dog’s owner joined Mr Jackson in the search which continued at first light the next day and into the night, from Duranbah to Farrants Hill and beyond.

Mr Jackson contacted vets, pounds and anywhere else the dog might turn up.

Lector was finally found out the back of Round Mountain.

“The owner was a really nice guy and very understanding because he knew his dog could jump high fences,” Mr Jackson said.

The first Mr Jackson knew about the search for the dog being on social media was when other business owners contacted him to express their concern at what was being said on different forums.

“The business owners didn’t want to comment online because they might have got a backlash as well which is understandable, but they were really upset with how people could turn like that and judge.” Mr Jackson said.

“I was really upset by a few of the comments.

“People were making comments like, ‘It’s not the first time’ and ‘I can’t believe how many times this has happened’ which was just not true.

“We have owned this place for 29 years and never lost a dog so it was devastating.

“29 years of building a good reputation and name and then

watching it being rubbished was really sad and disheartening.

“I thought after two nights of worrying and feeling sick about the dog and then it being found that everything would be okay but then I read those comments and had a third night of no sleep just worrying about it all and it’s still affecting us.

“It’s unbelievable the way people are so quick to jump on board and judge without knowing any facts.

“You see daily posts on social media of dogs getting out of people’s yards and there is no condemnation there.

“It’s unfortunately becoming human nature to jump in with an opinion without really thinking about the consequences.

“The saddest thing is that these are all adults, they aren’t young kids, they are the people who go on about kids and cyberbullying yet they are basically doing the same thing.

“Our reputation has taken a direct hit but we will rebuild that because we have many loyal customers who know that we run a good facility and really care about their animals.

“Reputation is everything and our goal has always been to have a facility that puts the animal first above all else and to have a home away from home environment and the trust of customers.

“These are their babies and to have that trust and respect is paramount.”

Allan Pearce, another dog lover who spends time as a volunteer at

Wayne Jackson, manager of Cabarita Beach Pet Resort

the pet resort, calls Mr Jackson a ‘dog whisperer.’

“Nobody loves animals more than Wayne, but it’s only by being there that you see the love, dedication and commitment of the people who run the resort,” he said.

“Wayne, who lives on site, has spent many hours during the night tending and caring for the individual needs of certain dogs, or fussing around to find something special for a pet who won’t eat properly.

“People come from as far apart as Lismore and Brisbane, even interstate, to bring their pets in to visit and to my knowledge there is nowhere that takes more care and lavishes more attention on every single dog than they get here.”

Annissa Bevis, marketing consultant with Little Marketing Co, said that social media affords people a degree of anonymity which empowers them to comment from behind their keyboards in a way they wouldn’t do one-on-one.

“I don’t think people realise it’s personal and that their comments can have such a serious effect on a business,” Ms Bevis said.

“They feel with a small business that there will be no repercussions because they don’t have a big team of lawyers behind them like a larger business might.

“It’s good to respond but you definitely don’t want to get into a tit for tat situation on social media.

“The best way to deal with it is to respond tactfully, truthfully and to get other people to respond on your behalf with testimonials that back up your reputation.

“Having google reviews is good so people can check past reviews from customers to qualify your service and your reputation as well.”

Ages of the Tweed mural completed

Volunteer Artist Erwin Weber, Earth Learning President Marion Riordan and Earth Learning volunteer Adrienne Weber

THE MURWILLUMBAH Earth Learning group have recently completed the “Ages of The Tweed” mural on the Murwillumbah levee wall at McIlrath Park.

Earth Learning volunteers and various artists completed the mural over a period of two years and their efforts, combined with the CBD-side of the wall, has created one of the longest murals of its kind in NSW. Earth Learning president Marion Riordan said they were very fortunate to receive a grant from the ITV Tweed Community Initiative.

“That grant enabled us to enlist artist Turiya Bruce to help complete the mural’s last 40m,” she said.

NOW AVAILABLE FOR HIRE Crane Truck for Deliveries

“This 150m long mural tells the story of the evolution of the region’s incredible flora and fauna and it’s a perfect complement to the “Treasures of the Tweed” (CBD side of the wall) mural that depicts the Tweed‘s living flora and fauna in all its magnificent diversity.”

Earth Learning now aims to reveal the fascinating natural history behind the “Ages of the Tweed”.

“This open air gallery, with its bright lively images, will teach viewers how the Tweed region became a time capsule for significant flora and fauna with direct links to prehistoric times,” Ms Riordan said.

She said the group were also fortunate to be able to add images from local

aboriginal artist Daniele Sussyer featuring brushwork by local woman Donna Needham.

“These images bring a special rhythm to an evolutionary tale that begins with life under the sea - and ends with stories from aboriginal heritage,” she said.

Earth Learning group will run children’s “treasure hunt competitions” where certain animals and plants will be added at various times for children to find.

Earth Learning also plans to develop an interpretive “virtual guide” for adults to discover at their own time and pace.

Cobaki modification rejected THE INDEPENDENT Planning Commission has rejected a proposal by the Cobaki Lakes developer to reduce the project’s overall biodiversity offset requirements.

Leda Manorstead Pty Ltd applied to modify the Cobaki Lakes concept plan approval and reduce the offset requirements for endangered ecological communities.

The modification sought to reduce onsite offset requirements for the loss of 3.8 ha of Swamp Sclerophyll Forest (SSF) Endangered Ecological Community (EEC) from 6.77 ha to 5.31 ha and to retire 128 ecosystem credits.

A small area of Lowland Rainforest on Floodplain EEC (0.01 ha) was proposed to be reclassified as Lowland Rainforest EEC and its onsite offset be reduced from 13.3 ha to 12.96 ha.

Based on an independent review the NSW Department of Planning and Environment recommended the proposal could be approved, subject to modifications, and referred the matter to the Planning Commission for determination.

The Department noted it “does not support reducing the total offset requirements for the SSF EEC [and] there are no compelling reasons to support changing the methodology to determine the SSF EEC offsets.”

The Department also found “that there is insufficient information to support reclassifying the Lowland Rainforest on Floodplain EEC.” However, it said “the proposed reductions in on-site offsets for Lowland Rainforest on Floodplain EEC is acceptable as the proposed offset remains sufficient.”

Tweed Shire Council objected to the changes and the Office of Environment & Heritage expressed concern about the ecological impacts of the proposed modification.

The OEH and Council said they preferred for the 6.77 ha to be accommodated within the development. However, offsets can be provided either onsite or offsite, or through ecosystem credits or payment to the OEH’s Biodiversity Conservation Trust, which the Planning Commission supported.

Mr David Johnson (chair) and Professor Richard Mackay AM were appointed to determine the request and met with the applicant, the Department of Planning and Environment and Tweed Shire Council, and inspected the development site.

In making its determination, the Commission found Leda Manorstead Pty Ltd had failed to provide sufficient evidence for it to assess the biodiversity outcomes of their application, which is “not considered to be in the public interest”.

The Commission’s approval requires the SSF offset to comprise 5.13 ha of onsite offsets, 5.13 ha of revegetation and 159 biodiversity credits.

By Jonathon Howard A GROWING number of Tweed Shire residents are preparing for the fight of their lives against the development of the new Tweed Valley Hospital on 23-hectares of prime agricultural land on the border of Kingscliff and Cudgen that the State Government is acquiring the land through a compulsory acquisition.

The development is quickly becoming one of the shire’s biggest battles coming directly from the farming community who are citing a range of concerns including future food security, loss of prime agricultural land, failure to consult and fears the flood gates could open to further developments.

From the moment the announcement was made last week several residents, with a history of farming the Cudgen plateau, including the Paddon family, have voiced their concerns on social media and launched an online petition against the development.

The petition has now gained more than 2,500 signatures at the time of print and there’s a push to aim for 15,000 to sway the State Government at the highest levels to reconsider the hospital’s location.

Farmers and residents echoed these concerns during a special community meeting that took place at the Cudgen Leagues Club on Tuesday, April 10, with more than 170 people in attendance.

The meeting was chaired by Jane Prichard, Hayley Paddon and James Paddon with speakers invited to provide their views and questions throughout the two-hour meeting.

Mrs Paddon gave those in attendance an update on her efforts so far including multiple petitions, as well as her passion for maintaining state significant agricultural land.

“Cudgen is a thriving farming community who should be encouraged to continue, and

the government should not be allowed to rezone this farmland for urban or residential development,” she said.

It should be noted, and was pointed out by Mrs Paddon, that many local farmers and residents want a new hospital for the Tweed Shire, however many had concerns as to why locations such as Tweed Heads were not considered first, along with questions as to why the other sites have not been made public.

Emotions were running high during the meeting as many attendees agreed that the time to mount a push against the proposed development was now and many also expressed their concerns around the sudden announcement for the hospital site and lack of consultation.

While not in attendance at the meeting, Greens Senator Dawn Walker has thrown her support behind the farmers posting on social media: “Food producing land is the new gold and the fertile red soils of the Cudgen Plateau are some of the richest we have left! I’ll be asking the Government for more information on the alternative Tweed Hospital sites in Parliament this week.”

This is not the first time that local farmers have fought against the development of the Cudgen plateau with former Mayor Max Boyd leading a lengthy campaign against the rezoning of the site in the early 2000s and successfully witnessing the site being listed as state significant farmland.

Mr Boyd, who was present at the Cudgen meeting, was invited to speak and made his views clear that he was standing with local farmers and stated the state significant land “must be preserved for future farming generations and not developed”.

Mr Boyd said he rejoiced when the land in question was listed as state significant during his time as Mayor and urged the community to “push hard” to keep the site that way.

Osteopaths treat more than you think Governments to protect these precious farmlands.”

Mayor Milne said the last proposal for a police station was knocked back by the NSW Labor Government when they were in power: “as it was considered that all other options had not been exhausted”.

She also made the point that if the proposed site can be acquired by the Government, why couldn’t other sites not offered for sale be considered.

“With news now that the NSW Government is actually compulsorily acquiring the property rather than by agreement with the land owner, it seems the State could have purchased any property, not just those voluntarily offered up for sale,” Mayor Milne said.

Mayor Milne along with Councillors Pryce Allsop and Cr Warren Polglase highlighted that Council was not allowed to be involved in the site investigations or selection process and Councillors were not consulted on the location before the decision was announced.

The consensus from the meeting was that more information was required including about alternative sites, specific hospital infrastructure, the reasons for the Cudgen/Kingscliff site and why the community is being denied a say.

“There must be more transparency to justify this decision if the Government is to retain any credibility on this with the community,” Mayor Milne said.

“I am behind the farmers and now is the time to keep up the pressure and push hard,” Mr Boyd said to applause from the audience.

Tweed Shire Council Mayor Katie Milne also expressed her intension to reject the proposed site and she hinted at raising a motion of no support through Council, but also acknowledged that Councillors have had little time to both discuss and gather further information about the development proposal.

“Of all the land in all the Shire why does the proposed new hospital have to be on the State Significant Farmland of the Cudgen Plateau,” she told The Weekly.

“This is not just any old bit of rural land. This is extremely high-quality farmland, deemed so rich and fertile that it was classified as significant for the whole State of NSW. “These incredible rich red soils are capable of such high production that this area, though very small in relative size, supplies the whole state with most of its sweet potatoes.

“Though everyone wants a new hospital suspicion is rife in the community about the decision on this location.

“The community deserves to know why the State Government believes the loss of this large parcel of State Significant Farmland is unavoidable, and is this really the one and only parcel of land in the entire Shire that is suitable.

THE TWEED Shire’s army of volunteers and helpers are being called upon to help 21-year-old Caitlin Ambrose from Cabarita to fight a rare cancer with treatment only available in the USA and at a huge expense.

In March of 2017, Caitlin was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare type of bone and soft tissue cancer that occurs in children up to young adults aged around 20.

After 17 rounds of chemotherapy, surgery and seven weeks of radiation Caitlin’s cancer has refused to let up and her future is uncertain.

Caitlin’s now hoping she can afford to pay for an advanced treatment for Ewing’s Sarcoma in the United States, where a trial of a drug known as TK216 is showing positive results.

Family and friends have already rallied behind Caitlin with donations and by establishing a GoFundMe (see link below) page with the target of $130,000.

The family have already received $24,000 and a series of car washes have been organised at the BP South Murwillumbah, with the first one this Saturday, April 14, from 9am to 2pm.

“We need the support as soon as possible as without this treatment her doctors have said, Caitlin only has a few months left to live,” a spokesperson for the family, Meredith Meeves said.

“When she does begin treatment, the donations will be directly deposited into her account in order to cover these costs.”

Meredith said Caitlin has only just recently turned 21 and has her whole life ahead of her.

POTTSVILLE RESIDENTS are debating whether they should setup Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras to film around the Black Rock Sports Field, following several concerns of children being approached and then followed.

Social media has been used to get an indication of whether residents would be interested in using their homes to install CCTV to capture both the entry and exit to the park.

“A few families have got together in Black Rocks and are coming up with plans to have CCTV cameras covering the estate,” a post on social media reads.

“The cameras will be located on resident’s homes and cover the entrance to the estate and other areas.

“This footage would only be used and given to the police if there was to be an incident in the area.

“I am seeing if anyone on this page is or knows someone who could supply and install equipment suitable for the task.”

The post said the Pottsville residents would reconvene after they have more information

with a meeting and possibly the formation of a Pottsville Neighbourhood Watch.

“A meeting will be held at Black Rocks to discuss this and create a Neighborhood Watch for our estate,” the post read.

“I would ask you to think about talking to the people in your street to do something similar.

“The more CCTV cameras we have in Potty the less likely it is that our area is targeted.”

When questioned by The Weekly about the local issue one resident said two young girls had been approached recently.

“A few weeks ago, a guy in a ute stopped to talk to two young girls at Black Rocks park and then followed them,” the resident, whose name has been withheld.

“That's what started a few of us thinking if we had a camera covering the entrance to the estate and few other areas then we would have something to give to the police.”

Tweed Shire farewells our beloved Dr Betty

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE residents were given the chance to attend a special service to celebrate the life of local icon Dr Betty Jean Harvard Marks OAM, at the All Saints Anglican Church on Tuesday, April 10.

Dr Betty, as she was fondly known locally, passed away peacefully four days prior to her 94th birthday in Melbourne with family by her side at Templestowe Manor on Saturday, February 24.

The Anglican Church service attracted hundreds of locals, some of whom were delivered

by Dr Betty during her time at the Murwillumbah Hospital and many more who she treated during her outstanding work at the Queen Street Medical Practice.

Her daughter and son in law Sue and Glen Payne attended the

service and provided attendees with a touching tribute, acknowledging both her hard work and determination to avoid retirement.

Both Sue and Glen shared stories from Dr Betty’s extraordinary life including the struggles she faced through her education as well as her deep devotion to her family.

“She was never afraid to speak her mind,” Sue said.

“She moved to Melbourne once her health had deteriorated to be closer to family, but this did little to slow her down keeping herself busy with gardening and meetings with family and friends.”

Sue also said Dr Betty had kept a special place in her heart for the people of the Tweed Shire, who she had cherished throughout her career.

“We had received a lot of letters and flowers from Tweed residents,

which kept our spirits high,” Sue said.

Sue said Dr Betty’s headstone also includes an extract from one local’s letter which said: “One life lived many lives touched”.

Former Queen Street Medical Centre Doctors John and Diana Kennaugh, who worked closely with Dr Betty, also provided a touching tribute reflecting on both the passion Dr Betty had for her work, as well as her strong characteristics.

“She didn’t believe in retirement,” Dr John said.

“She was also embraced by the Queen Street Medical Centre staff, who would often stay behind on a Friday afternoon to listen to her stories.”

Murwillumbah residents Margot Anthony and Judy Budd provided a special reading during the service of which is printed in full below.

When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me I was no rites in a gloom filled room Why cry for a soul set free Miss me a little - but not too long And not with you head bowed low Remember the love that we once shared Miss Me - But Let Me Go For this is a journey that we all must take And each must go alone It’s all a part of the master’s plan A step on the road to home When you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds Miss Me - But Let Me Go.

Local News 21

FEDERAL OPPOSITION Leader Bill Shorten took some time out from the Commonwealth Games to visit Murwillumbah, alongside Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot on Thursday, April 5.

Flanked by local and state media, Mr Shorten walked Murwillumbah’s main street, visiting business owners and stopping for a coffee and catch up with Tweed Shire Council staff including General Manager Troy Green at Ju Ju’s Café (pictured above).

Mr Shorten took a keen interest in the recovery efforts from the 2017 flood and asked a range of questions of Council, including what was needed today and how the recovery could progress any faster.

Two anti-Adani Coal Mine protesters could be heard across the road from Mr Shorten calling on him to withdraw any support for the controversial coal mine project.

The two ladies later spoke with Mr Shorten, who stopped to hear their views away from the prying eyes of the media.

After a brief break, Mr Shorten hosted a media conference in the memorial park near the Tweed Shire Council chambers.

Mr Shorten was quick to criticise the Turnbull Federal and Berejiklian State governments and emphasised many local criticisms that both levels of government had failed to meet the expectations and support needed for Tweed residents.

“The Premier and Prime Minister came through here on their picture opportunity disaster tour and haven’t been back,” Mr Shorten said.

“I’m afraid to say the State and Federal governments have been absolutely hopeless.”

Mr Shorten said it was not a difficult task to visit the Tweed Valley, an area he described as one of the best locations in Australia.

“It was probably the best use of my time to visit Murwillumbah,” he said.

“Murwillumbah and other towns were very hard hit and it has been a privilege to meet so many families and small business owners in the Northern Rivers this week.

“The resilience I saw was inspiring. These communities will bounce back and we must do everything we can to help them.”

Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber president Ilze Jaunberzins heaped praise on Mr Shorten for revisiting Murwillumbah and meeting with locals.

“It was great that Bill kept his promise to return,” Ms Jaunberzins said.

“He had extensive consultation with the community immediately after the floods and lobbied hard to have the Federal funds available come to our area.

“He is the only Federal Leader to return and see our recovery and our pain.”

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you think more should have been provided from the State and Federal Governments for the flood recovery efforts? Send your thoughts and letters to editor@theweekly.net.au

ENOVA COMMUNITY Energy is hosting three free Energy Expos across the Tweed including at Murwillumbah, Pottsville and Banora Point to provide locals with the best information to reduce their energy bills.

Manager of Enova’s not-for-profit arm, Enova Community, Sandi Middleton said there are some simple things locals can do to save energy and money.

“Because we want to create an energy-aware community, Enova Community Energy is now hosting these free events to share information to the wider community,” she said.

“We want people to walk away with advice and information that is easy to apply at home or in the workplace, and which will deliver savings to their energy bill and make a difference to the way they power their lives.”

Mrs Middleton said it does not matter if you are not an Enova customer, all are welcome.

“The event is open to businesses too,” she said.

“Simply bring along your latest energy bill and let the Enova Community Energy team show you how you can save.”

Volunteer Enova Energy Coaches will be on hand to look at your bill and help you identify ways to reduce it.

Local solar and battery experts will also be available to talk to people about solar options for both home and business.

“At Enova, we want to empower people to be able to take control of their energy consumption,” Mrs Middleton said.

“We are very worried by stories of people are living in energy poverty - going without basic necessities in order to be able to pay their energy bills, and we know that we can make a difference, once people understand exactly what they are being charged for and find out ways to save.”

Enova Community is the not-for-profit arm of Enova Community Energy Ltd, Australia’s

first community-owned energy company which was started in the Northern Rivers two years ago, and is owned by people who were looking for a real alternative to the big energy companies.

Enova Community Energy has a strong mission to put ‘people before profits’ and the company’s charter dictates that 50 per cent of all returns are reinvested into the community in several important ways including to develop renewable energy sources, to support community groups and organisations who want to install solar, and to educate the local community to be energy aware and save on bills.

As testament to its success, Enova received the ‘Best of the Best’ Regional Sustainability Award, recognising it’s outstanding achievement as an organisation with an original and successful initiative in regional or rural New South Wales.

Enova Energy’s team of customer care professionals and Energy Coaches are all trained in ways to save consumers money when they turn the power on.

In fact, last year alone, Enova saved locals more than $50,000 collectively on their bills simply by helping them to access concessions they did not know they were entitled too.

Alice Taylor, Darren Parish, Dianna Lowe, Glen Green, Megan McCauley and Amanda Linh

COMMONWEALTH BANK Murwillumbah branch has provided a huge boost to the Murwillumbah Community Centre with Commbank’s $10,000 Centenary Grant on Thursday, April 5.

In celebration of a 100-year legacy of giving, Commonwealth Bank employees are giving $10 million to community organisations, with 1,000 Centenary Grants valued at $10,000 being distributed.

Murwillumbah Community Centre is receiving a Centenary Grant, with Murwillumbah branch and employees having nominated it in recognition of the much-needed services it provides to the local community.

Commonwealth Bank donated $10 million to the CommBank Foundation in celebration and recognition of 100 years of employee giving and this donation funded the Centenary Grants.

More than 13,000 current and retired bank employees donate a portion of their income to the program, with Commonwealth Bank contributing up to $2 million each year as well.

The inspiring and far reaching impact of the work undertaken by Murwillumbah

Community Centre was a crucial factor in it receiving the grant.

“We’re thrilled to be able to support organisations like Murwillumbah Community Centre in the important work they do for our local community,” Commonwealth Bank Murwillumbah branch manager Crystal Palmer said.

“It’s especially meaningful that we are able to celebrate 100 years of employee giving, by nominating an organisation to receive a Centenary Grant in our local community.”

Right across Australia, Commonwealth Bank employees will be supporting local organisations that benefit youth wellbeing, access to education, and cancer research and awareness.

In total, 1,000 community organisations across the country will receive a Centenary Grant from Commonwealth Bank. Each of the 1,000 community organisations will be selected by Commonwealth Bank employees from right across Australia.

By Jo Kennett IN OUR recent coverage of the 2017 floods, the Tweed Valley Weekly was made aware of a number of ongoing problems and concerns from local residents and flood victims.

One of the issues raised by residents in the Burringbar and Mooball area was that the railway line and M1 might have hindered the drainage of the storm deluge in March, 2017.

There were concerns that the viaducts that act as drains through the railway line in are now overgrown and partially blocked.

The viaduct near the main street of Burringbar was pointed out by locals as being partially blocked but there are others along the strip between Mooball and Burringbar that they said are also partially blocked.

Residents expressed concerns that if left as they are, this could lead to further flooding in a heavy rain event.

The Weekly contacted Transport for NSW who forwarded the inquiry on to John Holland Rail, who are contracted to do the line maintenance. John Holland Rail sent the following statement: “Routine viaduct inspections vary from every 12 months to up to four years,” the statement reads.

“Unscheduled inspections may also be undertaken at any time such as after major weather events.”

“John Holland Rail has been carrying out additional inspections in recent months in the area, focusing on drainage assets to determine whether additional maintenance works are necessary.

“The next routine scheduled inspections will be in August 2018. However, additional inspections may be carried out before that date in the event of severe weather or a risk of flooding.”

The office of the Member for Tweed Geoff Provest was contacted to follow up they advised that the minister’s office had asked Transport NSW to investigate this situation as a matter of urgency.

Further to this, Mr Provest’s office advised the following regarding blockages in the culverts under the railway lines: “Transport for NSW has directed John Holland Rail to commence actioning the drainage clearance works identified in the areas of Burringbar and Mooball,” the statement reads.

“Contact has been made with the Tweed Shire Council to organise a meeting between Transport for NSW, John Holland Rail and the Tweed Shire Council to coordinate any issues identified outside the rail corridor that may require action by the Tweed Shire Council.”

A taste of Tasmania

Local News 25

By Kate Webster

REVELLING IN isolation, Tasmania packs a punch when it comes to things to see and do. The smallest state, this Australian island is where convicts were sent to be forgotten, towering cliffs mark the last frontier before Antarctica, and ancient forests are alive with mysterious creatures.

To truly capture the essence of Tasmania you would need months, however for those travellers that only have a week or so to spare, there are a few highlights that you really shouldn’t miss.

Strahan

The harbour-side village of Strahan has a dark and fascinating convict past full of stories from the days of convicts and pioneers toughing it out in Tassie's wild west. It is nestled on the shores of massive Macquarie Harbour and the neighbouring Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. There are long stretches of wild ocean beach to explore, massive sand dunes to conquer and forest adventures to be had. It is the gateway to the World Heritage listed Franklin– Gordon Wild Rivers National Park where boat cruises provide an unforgettable journey into the pristine temperate rainforests of the Gordon River.

Gordon River

Located in the World Heritage listed Franklin–Gordon Wild Rivers, Gordon River is wild by nature, wild by name, with dramatic mountain peaks and spectacular gorges. A river cruise will take you through the heart of the Tasmanian wilderness. Much of the Gordon River landscape has been shaped by ancient glaciers and is remote and rugged. The area has a much longer natural history, with ancient Huon Pines that grow to an age of over 3000 years. The park supports a diverse range of vegetation, dominated by cool temperate rainforest, drier eucalypt forests and picturesque button grass moorland. The park also contains Aboriginal and convict historic sites.

Port Arthur

Port Arthur Historic Site is one of 11 places that make up the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Australian Convict Sites. It is a special place of vivid history, cultural heritage and stories so compelling, you’ll want to hear them again and again. Sitting on the Tasman Peninsula, it was a 19thcentury penal settlement and is now an open-air museum.

Ruins include the huge penitentiary and the remaining shell of the Convict Church, which was built by inmates. Solitary confinement cells in the Separate Prison building were used to inflict mental punishment in place of floggings. Specialty tours of the site give a deeper understanding to what went on there and even ghost tours bring the history of this site to life.)

Tamar Valley

A hidden gem, the Tamar Valley is located in Northern Tasmania. Stretching from Launceston to Bass Strait, it meanders for nearly 60 km through the heart of vineyard country past orchards, scenic pastures and forests. It is renowned for some of Tasmania's finest food and wine, tourist attractions and family adventures. Here is where you can literally get a taste of Tasmania with the many food experiences and offerings.

Cataract Gorge

Affectionately known as the Gorge by the locals, Cataract Gorge Reserve is a unique natural formation just a hop skip and jump from central Launceston - a rare natural phenomenon in any city. In fact, you can take a 15-minute walk from central Launceston along the banks of the Tamar River into the Gorge. From there, follow a pathway originally built in the 1890s along the cliff face looking down onto the South Esk River. The beautiful Kings Bridge over the Gorge was floated into place in 1867.

Cradle Mountain

Lake St Clair National Park is home to the world-famous Overland Track and iconic Cradle Mountain, with its ancient rainforests and alpine heaths. Part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, the park is one of the state's most special places, where ancient pines fringe glacial lakes and icy streams cascade down rugged mountains.

The rich and diverse vegetation also provides a rich habitat

for wildlife, including Tasmanian devils, quolls, platypus, echidna and several bird species. Dramatic Cradle Mountain is the rugged jewel of the park and can be seen from Dove Lake on a day visit. Take the two-hour walk around the lake or spend the day tackling Cradle Mountain's summit.

Freycinet National Park

Freycinet National Park is fit for a postcard, with its dramatic pink granite peaks, secluded bays, white sandy beaches and abundant birdlife. Located on Tasmania's beautiful East Coast, the park occupies most of the Freycinet Peninsula and looks out to the Tasman Sea from the eastern side and back towards the Tasmanian coastline from the west. The short trek to Wineglass Bay lookout is a bit of a scramble, but it's well worth it for one of Tasmania's most photographed views. There are many more short walks across the park that are suitable for all abilities and that lead to secluded bays, clean beaches and bird-filled lagoons.

Salamanca Markets

The vibrant outdoor Salamanca Markets are held every Saturday at the historic Salamanca Place, next to the Hobart waterfront and with over 300 stallholders. Best of all, there is no entry fee, making it free to enjoy. Tasmanian producers and designers make Salamanca Market memorable and unique, with the biggest selection of locally made including hand-worked glass, innovative design in Tasmanian timbers, stylish clothing, bespoke jewellery, organic produce, artworks, bath and body care, ceramics and leather goods, handcrafted cheeses, breads, wines and spirits, and delicious hot foods.

Experience the Kingscliff Farmers Market THE KINGSCLIFF Farmer’s Market is celebrating just over a year in operation with local stallholders inviting residents to visit the markets every Saturday morning and sample the incredible range of local produce.

The Weekly recently visited the markets to meet with the friendly stallholders, who sell a range of delicious breads, fruit and vegetables, farm produce and a range of small goods.

The market is organised by Ainslie Lawrie and Gabby McGuren, who wanted to share the exceptional local produce with residents in a market setting.

“We first opened in March 11, 2017, which makes the market just over one year old,” Ainslie said.

“On average we have 25 stallholders, and the odd casual stall attendance, which includes a range of items to suit all tastes.”

Ainslie said the vision for the market was to provide an avenue in Kingscliff and the Tweed Shire where there’s support for authentic local farmers to sell their seasonal produce.

“In addition, we have many other artisan stalls offering homemade products,

providing a great variety to the public,” she said.

“The Kingscliff Farmers Market provides free live entertainment each week, mostly solo or duo artists whose music creates a great vibe and atmosphere for the patrons.

“We have covered seating areas for customers to relax while enjoying some ready to eat food, coffee, juices and smoothies.”

There’s also plenty of offstreet free parking with the market open early and until 11am every Saturday.

Among the great stallholders is a range of fresh seasonal farm produce and an extensive range of breads including Italian, sourdough and gluten free.

But that’s not all with a range of pastries, tarts and sweets as well as smallgoods, olives, cheeses, muesli, delicious dukkah, jams and sauces.

For those wanting a morning kickstart you can also find fresh juices, smoothies and of course an amazing coffee, iced coffee or hot choc.

Visitors can also browse the kombucha and bottled kefir drinks as well as a tasty variety of kebabs, gozleme plus Vietnamese bacon and egg rolls.

A NEW real estate business has recently formed in Murwillumbah under the brand of Elders Tweed Valley with a passionate and growing local team.

Elders Tweed Valley will be established at Shop 1/36-42 Murwillumbah Street in the Murwillumbah CBD and the team of four are eager to get started once the shop fit out is completed in the coming days.

Elders Tweed Valley Principal and Sales Consultant Sally Mather is heading up the team and recently caught up with The Weekly to talk about her vision and hopes for the future.

MUSTANGS

THE MURWILLUMBAH Mustangs are off to a cracking season start with a solid 2018 side that’s eager to make their mark under the guidance of former star halfback and 2016 premiership coach Nathan Jordan.

Nathan said the side have found some outstanding form against Casino on Sunday, April 8, with a solid win and plenty of excitement building for the match against the Tweed Coast Raiders, this Sunday, April 15, at the Raiders grounds.

Nathan said the side was training hard together with a mix of local juniors joining the ranks in Caleb Howell, Andrew Barnes, Joseph Besgrove and Riley Yates.

“We’ve also had several players transferred into the club in recent seasons include Dylan Nash, Wayde Kelly and Remi Vignau,” he said.

The Mustangs are hoping to improve on the 2017 season with some intensive pre-season training and conditioning.

The side also performed well in a trial match against Ballina on Sunday, March 18, although both sides did not include key players and the real test begins against a strong Raiders side this weekend.

“Pre-season commenced with training at several beach locations on the coast for conditioning, with training now focusing on gamebased training,” Nathan said.

Mustangs Coach

“I’m excited about the 2018 season with several local juniors being included into the first-grade ranks.”

The Mustangs have also welcomed several new players keen to make their mark on the 2018 NRRRL season.

“Additions to the club are Hadrien Domergue from France joining our other Frenchmen Remi Vignau, making an all French front row,” he said.

“Hadrien is a hardworking player who has blended into the club well.

“Another new player is Travis Hughan a hardworking lock forward from the Tugun Club, a no-nonsense player with a terrific work ethic.”

The Mustangs are also looking for more sponsors as well as heaping praise on current major sponsors The Court House Hotel.

“The Court House Hotel is again a major sponsor this year and a big thank you to them for their support,” Nathan said.

“The crowds supporting the local team have been great on Sunday nights at the Courthouse.”

“Our home crowds are the biggest in any local competition and I’d like to urge our supporters to come along and watch our local games, we’re grateful to supporters and our local sponsors.”

Throughout the year the club expects to hold several charity events and raise funds for local charities, with more information to come.

“I’d also like to thank my support staff and the committee for their tireless work and efforts, which are much appreciated,” Nathan said.

The flying Frenchman Hadrien is already making fans.

ALL THE BEST FOR THIS SEASON!

I WOULD like to start off by thanking our major sponsor The Courthouse Hotel, Murwillumbah and a big thank you to all our other sponsors, without you guys we couldn’t be the club we are.

This season is shaping up to be a cracker for us. Our league tag girls are really benefitting from their first season last year and are proving to be a force under the watchful eye of their coach Brent “Sooty’ Satler.

They’re are a mostly a young side with a sprinkling of old war horses in there, who are loving mixing it.

You can catch them playing from 12pm on a Sunday at all our games.

The Under 18s are coached by Brendon Hill who we welcome on board for his first season with the club.

Brendon is the former Colts President and grand final winning coach, as well as an experienced rep coach.

He brings a lot of knowledge to the young fellas who most he has

coached from a young age. I have a feeling these young fellas might upset a few of the opposition teams this year.

Scotty Vickery has returned as Reserve Grade coach this year and has a good, strong team.

We have welcomed back A Grade club legend of sorts Shane Kijt after a year off. The boys are looking good and will no doubt put in some strong performances.

A Grade Coach Nathan “Eggy” Jordon has the boys cracking. He has an all French front row and a couple of new recruits.

Eggy will also be blooding a few Under 18s into the squad this year and a handful of local reggies boys who have made the transition into the A Grade side.

This year we are boosted in the trainers staff with a Physio Luke Skillington, who is a local lad returning home after a stint in Melbourne.

Luke brings a wealth of knowledge to us and bolsters the experience

in the team with legend Kevin “Spanner” Spencer as well as Kirb who is into his second year strapping and picking up heaps from the experience around him.

We have a few new comers to the board this year, in Tammy Ayres and Mark Cowan. Tammy is running our social media pages and doing a great job. Jump over to our Mustangs Instagram and Facebook pages and give us a like.

The committee is: • President: Nigel Lofts.

• Vice President: Tim Booth.

• Secretary/Treasurer: Darin Skillington.

• Directors: Barry Harding, Ross Kennaugh, Andrew Kirby, Peter Weaver, Brad Mclean, Barry Gorton, Tammy Ayres and Mark Cowan.

On behalf of the committee I welcome you all to our 2018 season and hope to see you all there throughout the year.

“The return of a local legend against the Raiders next week should bring in the crowds as well as helping old man Dylo direct the team around the field.”

The Under 18s had a cracking first game of the year against a weakened Casino team and despite a lot of the players unable to train together.

Coach Brendon Hill said the first half was solid with the boy’s defence being the highlight.

The team managed to get the numbers in their tackles and while still finding the attacking side of the game a bit rusty, went in at half time 16-4 in front.

“The boys came out after half-time and started with a try in the first set,” Brendon said.

“Everything fell into place from there with the boys going up 42-10 with 15 minutes to go.

“The team played well and concentrated on playing to what we had been training, with three points to Noel Rostron, two points Callum Skillington and one point to Darcy Livesey.

“Well done to the boys and good luck next week.”

Murwillumbah ladies held their own to secure the win.

“Brooke scored a good runaway try to open up our account with two newcomers Chelsea and Alexandra scoring the next two tries,” he said.

“Very happy with the girls performance with special mention to the new ladies who played very well for their first hit out.

“A little ironing out of some mistakes made and look out Tweed Coast Raiders.”

The Mootwangs point scorers were three for Chloe Saddler, two for Chelsea Vickery and one for Alexandra Field.

The Mustangs Reserve Grade side also performed well against the Cougars with a 24 to 16 win.

Coach Scott Vickery said a combination of old and new players, as well as a much-appreciated hand from the 18s, combined to help.

“Stretch Walker, sporting Foz’s headgear, got the players player and was ably supported by Skillo, Longy and Brooksey,” he said.

“Captain Tickles played big minutes but had an off day with the boot.

MURWILLUMBAH MUSTANGS have had a cracking start to the 2018 NRRRL season with all four grades taking out a win at Stan Sercombe Oval on Sunday, April 8.

The Mustangs A Grade side proved to be ones to watch side to watch this season with a solid win over the Casino Cougars The conditions were near perfect with crowd numbers up on previous first round events including a large contingency of visitors from Casino.

The fans on both sides were treated to some heavy tackles and several break-away runs by the Casino and Murwillumbah side.

The first half was closely fought and saw Casino make some late tries.

But the mighty Mustangs proved too good on the day, running away with the win, with 34 to the Mustangs and 20 to the Cougars.

The day started with the Ladies League Tag side known as the Mootwangs who defeated the Casino Cougarettes 14-6.

WELL NATHAN Brown sure loaded the personal gun on the weekend. It was a great win by the Knights against a really struggling Broncos outfit.

Now opinions are like backsides and everyone has one and I think Nathan was fine to criticise Wayne ‘the old fox’ about how the Knights were looking when he left, but the personal insult was a little bit too far and overstepped the line and unfortunately took the gloss off a great Novacastrian victory.

On a side note, young Ponga is some sort of player and will only get better.

The Parramatta Eels are a side in trouble. It’s not to say they can’t get out of it, but they’re not getting any better.

Rumours of King Gutho coming back this week might be what they need but two points look a distance away.

The Warriors and St George continue to fly high and will meet in a top of the table clash this weekend.

I would have loved to have seen the odds of that happening in round five before a ball was kicked this season. The halves are going great behind a super pack and Euan Aitken has now been talked up as Origin centre for his little shimmy shimmy whoosh on the great GI on the weekend.

Everyone is loving the Tigers ride at the moment and they are really playing like a team, the loss of Russell Packer this week for a month will hurt their momentum but they are playing like a happy confident team at the moment.

Geoff Hall

at the Footy with Quinny Massive call from Greg Alexander this week that future Immortal JT may have played a year too long.

Look, he isn’t in sublime touch but then again neither are the Cowboys, but if there is a more competitive player I have not seen him and the great one will bounce back, he hasn’t played in a while and the Cowboys are a bit off the pace at the moment. Passion is a wonderful thing in life and was never more evident than Ricky Stuart going nuts on the sideline last week, super vision and shows how much it means to him, might just be what the Raiders need.

Mullumbimby continue to be the giant killers in round one knocking off hot favourites and reigning premiers Ballina on the weekend. Cudgen accounted for Lower Clarence after a tough battle and the Mustangs looked good on Sunday defeating Casino.

In a worrying sign though the Cougars 18’s only took the field with 11 players in round one. Add to the struggles at Kyogle, Mullum and Byron and the future looks a bit dire.

I’m not sure what kids are doing these days - but it’s not lacing up the boots on a Sunday.

See you at the Footy. Quinny

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Outstanding local seniors recognised during Senior’s Week THE 2018 NSW Seniors Festival has been celebrated across the Tweed Shire with hundreds of local seniors taking part in a range of activities with the final day set for Sunday, April 15.

This year Tweed Shire Council celebrated 60 years of the Seniors Festival with a special celebration event at St Ambrose Catholic Primary School in Pottsville, on Sunday, April 8.

The celebration featured the best aspects of seniors living across the shire and featured an outstanding choir performance from the U3A Tweed Coast Choir as well as activities, information stalls and great food.

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest presented Local Achivement Awards to several outstanding local seniors, who remain active and contribute to their community despite many having entered retirement.

Reverend Father Paul McDonald was acknowledged with a certificate for services to St Anthony’s Parish and the Lismore Diocese.

John Burden was recognised for his commitment and service to the Australian Asbestos and Mesothelioma and the Australian Red Cross.

Bill Wykeham was recognised for his outstanding service through Tweed Byron and Ballina Community Transport.

Mary Ludwig for her contribution through U3A Twin Towns.

Anita Hatton was recognised for her contribution through U3A Twin Towns and Dorothy Carmichael was recognised for her charitable and community services spanning many years.

All five certificates were presented by Member for Tweed Geoff Provest, who praised their efforts and contribution

to the community which he described as “outstanding”.

There are still a range of activities that seniors can get involved with this week including the Enova Community Ltd mini battery expo at the Murwillumbah Auditorium from 10am to 12pm today (Thursday, April 12).

Seniors are encouraged to bring their power bills to the mini battery expo to learn how to save on their electricity usage.

There’s also plenty of other events to help seniors save including several free events taking place at Centrelink Tweed Heads today (Thursday, April 12) starting from 10am to 3pm.

Friday, April 13, Tweed seniors are invited to take part in the Nia Dance Classes at the Kingscliff Community Hall from 9am to 10am for a fee of $5.

Continuing on Friday evening, April 13, seniors can unwind at the special Country Music Concert from 7pm to 10pm at 16 Tumbulgum Road, Murwillumbah.

The final must see free event is the Senior Citizens Day on Sunday, April 14, at the Burringbar District Sports Club from 3.30pm.

Council’s Seniors Festival Coordinator and Community Options Case Manager Fiona Holland said the NSW Seniors Festival is something the Tweed community looks forward to every year.

“As an area where people from around the country and around the world choose to come and spend their retirement we have an inherently important connection with our local seniors community,” Ms Holland said.

“As well as celebrating all the best things about seniors living our goal is to ensure the lines of communication stay open so everyone knows how to access the many services we provide.

“The Seniors Festival is about getting out, making new friends and discovering new things about the community around you.”

The U3A Tweed Coast Choir put on a great show

“It is so tragic to see the history and art of the ancient Middle East destroyed by wars and ISIS.” In looking towards MAT18 in May, Madeleine said she is following the ‘Moving On’ theme with a micro-bat skeleton on a small quilted coffin-liner, perched on a little platform anchored to a wood-fired pottery base.

“I also have some organic bowls and dark, Gothic planters,” she said.

Speaking about her involvement in local art, Madeleine said she did a short pottery course in Sydney, and loved it.

“When I moved up here, I discovered the Murwillumbah Potters, who work and play in a 100-year-old schoolhouse in Fernvale, south of Murwillumbah,” she said.

“The experienced potters love sharing their knowledge with beginners.

“Tweed Shire Council contributes to the club, and it is open to anyone to come along and try working with clay.

“Members run workshops, and students can buy clay onsite, and use the wheels and kilns in the shed.”

She said some of her pottery is for sale at The Modern Grocer, and Handmade in Uki. “I will be having a show at the Uki Post Office later in the year,” she said.

“The new postmaster, Gary Wall, has created a gallery for local artists, and a great coffee bar in the 109-year-old post office.”

THE MURWILLUMBAH Art Trail 2018 is fast approaching, and The Weekly is continuing to feature a new Tweed Shire artist taking part in MAT18 each week.

This week’s featured artist is Madeleine Murray, who is a passionate member of the Murwillumbah Potters at Fernvale.

Madeleine grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, which she said is one of the coldest, flattest, most windswept cities in the world.

“I came to Australia from Montreal 38 years ago,” she said.

Madeleine said it was during a day out in 2004, that she was exploring the Tweed Shire with a friend from Ireland.

“As we drove over the bridge into Murwillumbah, I remember looking down at the sinuous Tweed River, across the rainforests and up to Wollumbin, and thinking: this is amazing, I would love to live here someday,” she said.

“I even wrote that thought down in a notebook.”

Every few years after that, Madeleine said she would visit Murwillumbah.

“Two years ago, I finally moved up here,” she said.

“Now every day I see or hear something that makes me gasp with wonder and gratitude.

“The people up here are as amazing and interesting as the landscape.”

“When I lived in Sydney. I worked for about 20 years painting backdrops and sets, for films such as Crocodile Dundee and Elton John’s Sad Songs video.

“Later I became a journalist and wrote for the men’s magazine Ralph, and the Sydney Morning Herald.”

Madeleine said some of her passions in the art world include a love for the Assyrian rooms of the British Museum.

“The huge carved winged lions and massive cedar doors,” she said.

“I was lucky enough to visit the ancient Persian city of Persepolis, to see the fine relief work and magnificent winged bulls on top of towering columns.

TWEED SHIRE locals and visitors are eagerly awaiting the Stone & Wood Brewery Open Day in Murwillumbah, this Saturday, April 14, in support of Wedgetail Retreat.

Collectors are already keen to get their hands on the first official Swamp Beer t-shirts, which are expected to be a hit with locals as well as sampling the limited-edition Stone & Wood Murbah Swamp Beer on tap.

The inaugural Murwillumbah Brewery open day held last year attracted more than 2,000 people, with plenty of locals expressing their interest in seeing the event re-run in 2018.

The family friendly event will open from 11am to 5pm and will include brewery tours, scrumptious food, live bands, local artists, Malt Disney (for the kids), market stalls and cold beers straight from the source.

Mt Warning Tours is helping with the bus services throughout the day this year with the pick up and drop off information below.

FILMS th Mia wi

A FANTASTIC WOMAN

Still from Occupation featuring the Tweed Valley’s cane fields

Jeffery, Rhiannon Fish, Jacqueline McKenzie, Stephany Jacobsen and Dan Ewing to name a few.

According to IMDB trivia, actor Temeura made a surprise visit to the extras one night and made a lovely speech before launching into the Hakka.

“After their small Australian country town is annihilated by an overwhelming airborne attack, a group of civilians evade capture and discover they are now among the last remaining survivors of

an extraterrestrial invasion engulfing the entire planet,” the film’s synopsis reads.

“As humanity falls under world-wide occupation, they form a home-grown army to fight back against vastly superior enemy forces. On the frontlines of the battle for Earth, they are our last hope.”

To purchase your ticket to the advanced screening visit: www.eventcinemas.com. au/Movie/Mf---Occupation-With-QAnd-A#date=2018-05-25

The winner of the 2018 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film is a tragic love story from Chile but is more broadly a film yet again about the issue of prejudice and discrimination - we have seen a lot of films in recent times that touch upon similar issues, but this will definitely not be the last one since these are problems endemic to any society at any point in time.

In A Fantastic Woman the issue is exemplified through the story of a transgender woman, Marina, who loses her lover Orlando when he suddenly dies of a stroke. The couple had been very much in love; Orlando was a divorced man and had moved to live with Marina not long before the tragedy happens. But that is only the beginning of the story, which revolves around the hostility and prejudice that Marina has to put up with in the aftermath of Orlando’s death.

First by the police, suspicious that Marina may be responsible for Orlando’s death, then by Orlando’s family members, who not only do not allow her to attend the wake and then his funeral, but start pushing her out of the apartment where she was living with Orlando, taking back anything that belonged to him, even the pet dog that Orlando had given to Marina.

The message implied in the film’ s title is that Marina’s mourning would not be obstructed by institutional and personal prejudices if people could see and perceive Marina as who she really is, a fantastic woman.

The casting of this most resonant and empathetic screen testament to the everyday obstacles of transgender existence adds a further layer of realism as, differently from the film The Danish Girl where Eddie Redmayne was portraying the transgender protagonist, in A Fantastic Woman Daniela Vega, the actress portraying Marina, is a transgender woman herself.

TICKETS ARE now available to the advance screening of the highly anticipated film Occupation, which will take place at the Brisbane Myer Centre Event Cinemas on Friday, May 25.

Locals are encouraged to purchase their ticket to the advanced screening which will also feature a Q&A session.

Occupation was filmed in Murwillumbah and surrounds in 2017 and features a dramatic invasion scene that was filmed at the Murwillumbah Showgrounds.

Hundreds of locals took part in the film, directed by Luke Sparke, and filmed over the course of three days.

The film features several key scenes from across the shire including the invasion of earth and battle sequences over Tweed Valley cane fields, with scenes reminiscent of Independence Day. The special effects and fight sequences are slick, including several explosions at the Showgrounds.

Other local filming locations included the Condong Mill, Sugar Beat Cafe and Taylors Corner.

Occupation stars Temuera Morrison, Bruce Spence, Charles Mesure, Aaron

Mr Judd said The Kitchen was also introducing a new breakfast buffet on Sundays from 8am to 10.30am, with a big range including pancakes and pastries.

The Kitchen’s manager Amelia Best said she was already seeing a boost in customers.

“It’s going great,” she said.

“We’ve had a big response from locals and the feedback has been really positive.”

The Kitchen adds to the new elements recently introduced to the club including The Lawn, which offers outside dining, entertainment and children’s play areas.

“The club has been including some great new features for locals, who have provided some great feedback,” Mr Judd said.

POTTSVILLE BEACH Sports Club continues to go from strength to strength announcing the club has taken over the internal restaurant and renamed it The Kitchen.

The club’s general manager Michael Judd said the restaurant was previously operated by a private contractor and for the first time the club has taken the reins.

“The contractors have since moved on and the club made the decision to take on the restaurant to be included for the first time in its history,” he said.

“We’ve changed a few things and employed an amazing new head chef Stephen Somers, who brings some incredible experience and new flavours that I’m sure members and visitors will love.”

Speaking with The Weekly, Chef Somers said he was excited to be a part of the Pottsville Beach Sports Club team and had already reworked the menu to suit local tastes.

“We’ve got the new corn and zucchini fritters plus our new fish and chips in which we use Aussie barramundi for the first time,” he said.

Pottsville Beach Sports announces The Kitchen

THE NORTHERN Rivers Symphony Orchestra would like to invite you to join us to warmly welcome back Conductor Nicholas Routley for our first concert this year - ‘Enchanting Cello’ - with special guest soloist Cellist Karol Kowalik.

The concert will be held at the Tweed Civic Centre on Sunday, April 22 at 2.30 pm.

Always curious, I asked Mr Routley how he had arrived at this particular program and he said: “well that’s a good question”.

“The Schubert symphony has been a personal favourite of mine for as long as I can remember,” he said.

“I was brought up on the wonderful performance of Barbarolli with the Halle, and the symphony still seems to me one of the greatest outpourings of joy in the entire literature of the orchestra, and that from the composer of Death and the Maiden, and Winterreise.

“It starts with a horn solo (actually two horns in unison) that takes us into the magic of the journey of life, and I thought I would pair it with a work written just one year later which also starts with a horn solo.

“Weber’s Oberon overture is quite obviously about magic, and his evocation of the fairies in Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream is perhaps more playful than Schubert’s, but no less romantic and beguiling.

“In between these the wonderful cellist in the Orava String Quartet, Karol Kowalik, will play the Elgar concerto. This is at the opposite extreme from the other works. Written almost 100 years after the Weber and the Schubert pieces, it is one of the saddest testaments that any composer has left us, whose grief is only rivalled by the finale of Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique, and some movements Mahler.

“You have to program such a work with happier music.”

Born to a very musical family, multi-award winning Karol Kowalik is a founding member of the much travelled and prestigious Orava String Quartet.

Between his busy schedule of rehearsals and concerts, he finds time to teach at All Saints Anglican School, Merrimac and run a private studio.

Mr Kowalik is a most exciting cellist and passionate chamber musician who declares “to be a musician is a fantastic emotional experience”.

You, dear reader, will not want to miss this exciting pairing of fine musicians your orchestra, the Northern Rivers Symphony Orchestra, has brought together for the first concert of the 2018 season.

The concert will be held at the Tweed Civic Centre on Sunday, April 22 at 2.30 pm.

Change of date for Groove & Graze

GROOVE & Graze, a seaside food and music street festival which was scheduled to run at Norries Headland, Cabarita on Saturday April 14, has been rescheduled to this Sunday April 15 due to a clash with another event.

The event will coincide with the finals of the Sailor Jerry Surf Tag, so visitors will be able to watch our local Tweed teams in action from 9am (Saturday and Sunday) and then enjoy the food trucks, markets, live music, jumping castle and face-painting on Sunday afternoon from 1pm - 6pm.

There will also be a stand to raise funds for 21-year-old Caitlin Ambrose from Cabarita to fight a rare cancer, Ewing’s Sarcomar, with treatment only available in the USA at great expense.

Visitors are encouraged to donate what they can to give this brave young lady a chance to beat her life-threatening illness. Without this treatment Caitlin may only have months to live. Supporters are also looking for items to auction at another fundraiser.

Locals are encouraged to ride or walk to the event to help keep parking congestion down.

Hi my name is Nathan Benard and together with my wife Jessica we are the owners of Hydro X Carpet Cleaning and Pest Management.

I have lived in Murwillumbah all my life while Jess has lived in the area for over 15 years and we are so happy to be raising our two children in such a beautiful part of the country. That is why keeping our business local is so important to us.

At Hydro X, we know that a clean home is essential to good health. We specialise in Carpet Cleaning and Pest Management to keep your home clean and free from nasty pests.

We not only clean carpets, rugs, upholstery and mattress but also offer stain removal, odour decontamination and water extraction & flood damage restoration. We do this using the #1 Truck-mounted carpet cleaning machine in the industry, giving us the hottest water and strongest vacuum around.

The climate on the Tweed is the perfect breeding ground for pests. This mean that Pest control should be carried out every 12 months to ensure your home is kept free from pests.

We are licensed Pest Management Technicians and are trained in the latest methods using the latest

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

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

THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE SOLAR, ELECTRIC, GAS OR HEAT PUMPS FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in the Tweed & Gold Coast area FREE OF CHARGE.

“REMEMBER YOU CAN’T LOSE, NO ANODE REPLACEMENT NO CHARGE” Comes with a 5 year warranty ~ Make your Hot Water System last for 30 years!

POLICE BEAT

Motorists urged to slow down Crackdown on alcohol free zones TWEED POLICE are urging motorists to slow down on our roads ahead of the school holidays which commence on Friday, April 13.

Extra traffic is also expected in Northern NSW over the next few days as families head to popular holiday destinations, as well as travel home from the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

The warning comes as NSW Police continue with Operation Merret, an approach that aims to educate and empower motorists to make the right decisions when travelling on the state’s roads.

Senior Sergeant Chad George from the Northern Borders Cluster of Highway Patrol said drivers need to follow the road rules in order to return home safely.

“So far this year one person has died on our local roads,” he said.

“This is one person too many.

“The message is simple, for all road users, drive to the conditions, don’t speed, don’t drink or take drugs and drive, wear your seatbelt, and take regular breaks to make sure

that you and your family get to your destination safely.”

In four weeks since the start of Operation Merret, more than 30,000 infringements have been issued across the state for a variety of offences including speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, and using a mobile phone while driving.

NSW Police Force Deputy Commissioner Catherine Burn said all road users need to take personal responsibility and stay alert on NSW roads over the busy school holiday period.

“We began Operation Merret, an unorthodox approach to road safety in March this year, to help stem the number of lives lost on our roads,” she said.

“While we have seen a lot of positive feedback from the community, it is sad to see that the 30,000 plus infringements represent 30,000 people who made a decision to put themselves and others at risk over the past four weeks.

“With an increase in road users over the school holidays, we are urging all road users to be vigilant and take personal responsibility for their actions on the road.”

TWEED POLICE have issued warnings to two people who were allegedly drinking alcohol in Knox Park Murwillumbah, as part of a crackdown on public alcohol consumption.

Police said they were conducting high visible patrols of Knox Park on Friday, April 6, when around 4.20pm they spotted two people hiding bottles.

One male was found to have an open bottle of Jim Beam and Cola under his feet, while a female had an open bottle of Jim Beam and Cola in the top of her bag and an

Kennedy Drive drug bust A 46-YEAR-OLD female has been charged with drug possession following a random breath test on Kennedy Drive, Tweed Heads.

Tweed Police said they were conducting patrols along Kennedy Drive on Thursday, April 5 around 11.45pm when they stopped a gold Toyota Camry sedan Police searched the vehicle, following information provided

Youth headbutted TWEED POLICE said they are looking to press charges against a youth who allegedly headbutted a 16-year-old male at Banora Point on Sunday, April 7.

Police said the male victim and a witness were walking on the southern footpath of Leisure Drive at Banora Point, in an easterly direction towards the Banora Central Shopping Centre when they noticed another group of males walking towards them.

“One of these males was known to the youth and had a previous falling out with him six months earlier,” police said.

“This male approached the victim and held out his hand in an attempt to conciliate.

“The victim shook the youth’s hand when the youth took off his hat and headbutted the victim to the face.

“The victim ran back towards a friend’s residence. The youth chased the victim before giving up and getting into a vehicle with his friends and taking off.

“Police are investigating the incident with a view of laying charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.”

Those special memories of you will always bring a smile if only I could have you back for just a little while.

Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do you always meant so very much and always will do too.

The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause me pain but you’re forever in my heart until we meet again.

“Wave Clap Cheer” seniors sing and dance for Aussie athletes A GROUP of lively Tweed Shire seniors have been getting into the spirit of the Commonwealth Games this week cheering on the competitors and soaking up the atmosphere.

The Weekly caught up with members of the Bettina Bend and Stretch Class for over 50s at the Tweed Heads PCYC on Tuesday, April 10, to hear more about their enthusiasm for the games.

Bettina Adams, who is a former professional ballroom dancing teacher, has been practising “Wave Clap Cheer” with her bend and stretch class.

“The special song and dance ro u t i n e d e m o n s t rat e s o u r admiration and appreciation to the Australian athletes competing in the Commonwealth Games,” she said.

“Carmel Finn, well known singer in the music industry does credit to the song, with her rendition, singing with enthusiasm and gusto.”

Bettina originally wrote “Wave Clap Cheer” as a poem, then wrote the music and a simple dance routine

which has become popular with locals.

The Weekly has printed the full lyrics below: Wave Clap Cheer

By Bettina Adams Wave clap cheer, our athletes make us proud In green and gold, they’re brave and bold Excitements high, as they march by Hurrah for The Commonwealth Games.

Our teams are strong And they belong in world’s first class Australia’s hearts!

They earn their fame and Wave clap cheer, we marvel at their skill We see them try, to reach the sky The medals gleam, fulfil their dream A magic time for all!

Our country’s best Put to the test, we thrill to see Australia sharing In Victory!

Bowls Notes TBDWBA 2018 Pennant season is finally completed with the last game for Grade 3, previously washed out and finalised last week.

Kingscliff ladies were successful in defeating the Pottsville side resulting in a five point win to top the leader board and claim the flag.

Cudgen Leagues men’s recent major triples final evolved into quite a tense contest as John Gibson (S), Brian Turner and Garry Pickett were challenging Brien Murray (S), Col Lacey and Les Browning for top honours.

Early ends were close with the score on 6-6 after eight ends. Intermittent showers during the match slowed the game as the battle continued. Team Gibson, moving up a gear and applying pressure in this close encounter, was then able to break away and claim victory with a comfortable margin.

Easter weekend, always renowned for great bowls carnivals at many clubs, certainly

with Judy Tuckey

provided super entertainment for bowlers from near and far.

Cabarita Bowls Club, one of the many clubs to conduct an Easter Tournament, was no exception. Their Wednesday Open Medley Pairs, with over $1,500 in prize money up for grabs, had the greens filled to capacity.

Byron Bay’s Gavin McPhail and Jim Clark collected the top dollars after winning all three games and amassing an impressive 47 shot margin.

Pottsville lads Jim Field and Brian Herberte were next on 3 + 38 followed by club mates Matt Masula and Peter McGuinness on 3 + 29.

Caba teams filled the remaining placings with Brian Kent and Doug Moir 3 +28 and Rowan Norris and Laurie Freemen on 3 + 27.

Saturday’s Mixed Pairs, with $1,000 plus prize money, also filled the greens. Tweed Heads pair Mark and Linda Lynn took home

Jim Gibson (Skip), Brian Turner and Garry Pickett

first prize with Cabarita teams making up the remainder of the place getters.

Second place went to Greg and Jean Matfin, third Bill and Robyn Creedon, fourth Tony and Jan Soan, fifth Laurie and Michelle

Freeman and sixth Keith and June Foran.

Great to see so many Mr and Mrs teams in the winning circle.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Cabarita on home turf at Sailor Jerry Surftag

CABARITA BOARDRIDERS are looking forward to the rare opportunity of competing on their home beach this weekend in the Sailor Jerry Surftag Australian Series.

For the first time in 17 years Cabarita Beach will host the Queensland and Northern NSW Qualifier with Boardriding Clubs from Noosa to Lennox Heads looking to secure a top six finish and qualify to the Sailor Jerry Surftag Australian Championships.

We caught up with Cabarita Boardriders Team Captain Brent Savage last weekend who said he is excited to be competing in a team event on his home beach.

“It’s great the Surftag is being held at Cabarita, especially during such a good time of the year for waves,” Savage said.

“We are going to run a selection trial this week to finalise our team as all our top guys want to represent the club.

“Local knowledge and wave selection play a big part in team events so we definitely want to take advantage of the event being held in our backyard.”

With Chippa Wilson in doubt due to a back injury the Cabarita squad includes Savage, Josh Fuller, Jason Jameson, Dan Sinclair and Tim Chalmers.

Cabarita will need to overcome some tough competition to finish on top with Queensland’s best Tel. 07 5576 6299 Boardriding Clubs heading www.ffsqld.com.au south for the weekend.

Captain Mitch James likes their chances of a top six finish on the weekend.

“Stoked to be competing in a tag team event just down the road,” James said.

“I think we have a really good chance of a big result now that the event is being held at Cabarita, we surf down there a fair bit so hopefully the waves are good on the weekend.”

In the Women’s Division three-time Australian Champions D’bah will take on North End, Currumbin Alley and Snapper Rocks with the top two teams qualifying to the Australian Championships.

The D’bah team of Freya Prumm, Audrey Styman-Lane, Grace Styman-Lane, Brodie Doyle and Amiya Doyle, have the opportunity to be the first team in Surftag history to secure four straight Australian Championships if they can defend their title.

The top 24 men’s teams and top 10 women’s teams will contest the Sailor Jerry Surftag Australian Championships at Duranbah Beach, Tweed Heads on April 27 and 28.

Defending Men’s Australian Champions North Shelly Boardriders (Central Coast) will go into the Australian Championships as number one seeds after taking out the Newcastle Qualifier in January.

Mitch James

Competition starts at 9am on Saturday at Cabarita Beach with the Men’s Finals and the Women’s Division being held on Sunday. For live scores during the event go to globalsurftag. com I will be down there commentating the event, and it would be great to get some hometown support for Cabarita and Kingscliff. Get down the beach and cheer on your local heroes!!

WA Underway

Well the World Tour is back underway in Western Australia, with the Men’s and Women’s Margaret River Masters on at Surfers Point, The Box, or North Point, the three venues organisers have to choose from.

It is dual yellow jerseys with Julian Wilson and Italio Ferriera in equal first place, with Mick Fanning, retired and in third place.

For the women our Kingscliff supergirl Stephanie Gilmore is in yellow after her big win at Bells Beach, and will be hoping for a good result to increase her lead and head towards a record seventh World Title.

Competition starts around 9am each day on the WSL app, or on Foxtel.

See you all down the beach at Cabarita on the weekend.

Raiderettes smash Northern United D’bah girls surfing towards history at Caba

The Raiderettes, down six players due to Commonwealth Games commitments, still managed a resounding 48-0 win over Northern United at Lismore.

THE TWEED Coast Raiderettes have had an emphatic victory over Northern United at Lismore in the NRRRL Women’s League Tag on Saturday, April 7.

The team put up excellent defence to win 48-0, with Winnie Edson named player of the match.

Emma Waters, captain of the Tweed Coast Raiderettes, said that some players were away working on the Commonwealth Games so they were happy to get the win.

“We have about 18 players but only 12 at the game, so we only had one sub which made it harder,” she said.

“Everyone in the team played really well.

Winnie Edson, who got player of the match, controlled the game really well at dummy half, talking to the team, running the gaps and scoring two tries.

“We work hard on our defence and it really showed in the game with the opposition unable to score.

“That good defence brought great offence in the game. Everyone was great.

“We also had Zamara Kelly well positioned to take a really good catch off a kick to put her over the line for one of the best tries of

the game and then she scored another one on our right wing.

“Our kicking game was great and the players made good depth which really challenged the opposition as well.”

Ms Waters said this was only the teams’ second year in the women’s league and they were pleased with how it was progressing.

There are a total of 10 tens NRRRL women’s league tag.

“Our first season was a success - we made it to the semi-finals and then we could recruit plenty of new players because there was a lot of interest in the team,” she said.

“People could also see we were having a lot of fun.

“The popularity of the women’s league tag is really growing. Last year there were only six teams but it’s grown to 10 this year so it’s exciting for the game.

The Tweed Coast Raiders first grade team defeated Northern United 28 - 18.

In reserve grade Northern United defeated Tweed Coast Raiders 32 - 16 Next week the Raiderettes play a home game against Murwillumbah Mustangs at Les Burger Fields at Cabarita Beach at 10.45am on Sunday April 15, with the first grade team playing the Mustangs at 2.45pm.

D’BAH BOARDRIDERS women’s team is competing at the Sailor Jerry Surftag in Cabarita this weekend (April 14 - 15) for a chance to make history.

If they make it through this weekend’s contest they will be competing for their fourth consecutive title at the Sailor Jerry Surftag Australian Championship later in the month at Duranbah.

Contest Director Steve Harrison said that no team in Surftag history, men or women’s, has ever won four straight titles.

“They will be on their way to making history if they can get through this weekend and then back up last year’s win at the Australian Championships,” Mr Harrison said.

The team will be up against Snapper Rocks, North End and Currumbin Alley Boardriders with the top two teams going through to the series final.

At the Australian Championships last year, D’bah surfer Audrey Stynam-Lane scored a 9.67 in the final minutes of the competition to take the D’bah women’s team to their third win of the series and they are hoping to make it through this weekend into the finals again this year.

“I’m really looking forward to competing with the D’bah team again,” Ms StynamLane said.

“It will be a good challenge because there are some really great female surfers we will be competing against.

“We also have a really good rivalry going with the North Narrabeen women’s team so it will be great if we can make it through to the Australian Championships.”

The top two of four women’s teams competing on Sunday, D’bah, North End, Snapper Rocks and Currumbin Alley, will go through to the Australian Championships.

The D’bah women’s team consists of five experienced competitors, Freya Prumm and two sets of twins, Amiya and Brodie Doyle and Grace and Audrey Stynam-Lane.

Grace Stynam-Lane said that she was really looking forward to it.

“The contest is always heaps of fun,” Ms Stynam-Lane told The Weekly.

“We grew up in Sydney and there are always friends that we get to hang out with and compete against.

“It’s really nice to surf as a team rather than an individual for a change. I like that about it the most.

“It’s really exciting because you have five surfers and everyone has to surf within a time limit so you might have two surfers to go and only five minutes left and so you have to come up with a strategy and then there’s a race up the beach because the first team in gets extra points.”

D’bah Boardriders team manager Ray (Poppy) Helton is excited about the girls’ prospects of making it through the weekend and into the Australian Championships.

“The girls are really keen surfers, they get in the water as often as they can, they surf different breaks and go to different countries so they are very versatile surfers,” Mr Helton said.

“Basically they each know their job and the time factor involved so we put the quick surfers out early and there is quite a bit of tactics and strategy and they all know what they have to do and they really support each other.

“I really look forward to this event every year. It’s just got a great vibe - to me it’s more exciting than the Quiky Pro. “When you’re down on the beach and the clocks ticking down and it’s a race to the end - it’s really exciting both to be involved in but also for the spectators.”

The top two teams in the men’s and women’s divisions will go through to the Sailor Jerry Surftag Australian Championships at Duranbah Beach on April 27 - 28.

The men’s competition will run from 9am on Saturday and Sunday and the women’s will run from 9am on Sunday. It is expected to run for around six hours on Saturday but may be shorter on Sunday. Spectators will be able to watch the finals on Sunday and then enjoy Groove & Graze food and music festival which is also running at Norries Headland from 1-6pm on Sunday.

Hornets defeat Lower Clarence THE CUDGEN Hornets came from behind to beat Lower Clarence 38-20 in the season opener at Yamba on Sunday, April 8.

The Cudgen Leagues Club took out all a 3 grades which coach Pat Rosser said was a good way to start the year.

“Our Under 18s side won their first game they have played together and they won convincingly and the same with the reserve grade side which was great,” Mr Rosser told The Weekly.

“The 1st grade side came from 10-0 behind to win 38-20.

“We had a slow start but in the second part of the first half we found some momentum and got into a grind to equal at 10-10 at half time.

“Then we worked hard in the second half in defence and were able to put some quick points up. “We completed some sets and got on a roll and converted our opportunities into points which turned the game in our favour.

“It was a grinding game but once we turned the attacking opportunities into points it went our way.

“We are a bit clunky because we have new players in key positions and that will take some time to develop but the defensive attitude was excellent. There were a lot of positives to take away.

Next week is the 2017 grand-final rematch against Ballina in the team’s first home game at Ned Byrne Oval at Kingscliff (Cudgen Leagues Club)

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC Keith Kennedy

THERE WERE ideal surf conditions over the weekend and as a result there is a huge build up of sand from the creek mouth to north of the Surf Club and erosion towards the Bowls Club where the first rock wall has been exposed for several weeks.

Queensland school holidays finish this week with NSW to start the following week.

Midweek patrols by Lifeguards continue and the Queensland helicopter is providing extra surveillance with twice daily flights.

Another IRB Crew Certificate course is planned for late April.

A couple of hours theory on a Thursday night, followed by a full day training on a weekend.

A May/June Silver Medallion Driver Course will potentially kick off at the end of the season and utilise the ALBERT program. Interested members should advise by the end of April.

A Bronze Medallion course will be hosted during the JulyAugust school holidays.

Members who have gained awards who are current or past members are urged to collect them from the awards cabinet in the training room and have them signed off.

The Australian Championships commence at Scarboro this weekend, with the under 13 to under 15 Youth Titles. We

Audrey Styman Lane

have five members nominated. These will be followed by the Masters for two days then through to the following Sunday for the Opens in which we have eight competitors.

This season our competitors have had a great success in winning the NSW Country point score, large representation in the Branch Team for the NSW Inter-Branch, NSW Country for the Inter-state, NSW and Australia.

However the club and competitors have to pay for their selection honour and travel expense and coupled with entry fees this has come to over $23,000. Our Club is grateful to our Old Boys Association who have contributed $9,400 in assistance. With many of our members still at school it takes a little burden off the parents.
