“As soon as they walked into the gaming room we would have to ask, ‘do you want a coffee, do you want a snack and if they wanted an alcoholic drink sometimes they wouldn’t have to pay.” The former employee said they didn’t think the inquiry would stop the behaviour at ALH. “I reckon they would still be doing it if they can get away with it,” the former employee said “If they can make money they would still be doing it. “I don’t think it would have stopped at all even with all the publicity and the inquiry.” The former employee said the company never seemed concerned about being caught. “They didn’t seem worried about police - I’m not sure why,” the former employee said. “I suppose it was because they were a big company.” The ALH report stated that “the investigation found that over an approximately six-month period commencing in or around June 2017, a customer service program was operating in a limited number of venues in Queensland which gave rise to instances of ALH employees recording descriptive information about gaming customers in a manner that was below ALH’s expectations and contrary to its policies”. “Practices varied across these hotels,” the report read. “The practice also extended (to a limited degree) to a small number of venues in South Australia, and certain aspects of the customer service program were implemented in two venues in New South Wales.” Twenty of the hotels named were in Queensland with only two hotels in NSW, the South Tweed Tavern which has 25 machines that earn $1,901,927
annual profit and the Westower Tavern at Ballina, which has 30 gaming machines. ALH said in the report that the “initiatives have now ceased”. It was anti-gambling campaigner and Federal MP Andrew Wilkie who originally aired the allegations from a whistle-blower about the databases and customer profiling in February this year. Mr Wilkie told The Weekly that he thought it would have been better to have an outsider do the inquiry, rather than it being run internally by Woolworths. “Although to be fair to Woolworths it was noteworthy that they were prepared to do any investigation at all,” Mr Wilkie said. “I haven’t seen any evidence yet that it wasn’t a reasonably thorough review.” Mr Wilkie said he didn’t think the behaviour uncovered in the investigation was confined to Woolworths-owned hotels. “I have no doubt that these sorts of practices are widespread in the poker machine industry more broadly and am always on the lookout for ways to identify it and to call it out,” he said. T h e We e k l y c o n t a c t e d A L H management regarding the allegations but they did not want to comment. A spokesperson for Liquor & Gaming NSW said they recognised the positive steps ALH had taken to review the matter and for assisting the regulator with its independent investigation. The spokesperson said it was “unlawful for venues to induce gambling on gaming machines through free or discounted alcohol”. “Our inquiries into allegations of irresponsible gaming practices at ALH venues in NSW are ongoing and it is not appropriate to comment further,” the Liquor and Gamming NSW spokesperson said.

A FORMER employee of the South Tweed Tavern has contradicted the findings of an internal inquiry into responsible gaming by Woolworth’s poker machine arm Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group (ALH). The tavern was one of 22 named in the investigation which uncovered evidence that ALH kept databases of customers who gambled, including their habits and behaviours and also found evidence that, “at some venues in Queensland, there was increased provision of complimentary drinks in gaming areas and that in certain instances increased customer service efforts (including the provision of complimentary drinks) were directed to high-value customers to encourage further gaming activity”. “Aside from the matters referred to above, the investigation did not find evidence of similar conduct in any other state or territory,” the report stated. However, a former employee alleged to The Weekly that management provided free alcoholic beverages to encourage customers to gamble at the South Tweed Tavern. The former employee, who did not want to be named, alleged that staff had a daily target to reach for the amount of free soft-drinks, snacks, coffees and alcoholic beverages they were to supply gaming patrons. “We had to give out free alcohol and the manager and I knew it wasn’t right,” the former employee said. “It was about $100 - we had to do around 20 free soft drinks and 20 snacks and $100 worth of alcoholic beverages each day. “It was in writing from the head office to meet those targets but under Responsible Service of Alcohol laws you aren’t supposed to do that.” The former employee said that they knew there were different rules in Queensland but because most of ALH’s pubs were in Queensland and the tavern was on the border they were told that Queensland rules applied. “We even spoke to a licencing policeman about it and he said it was illegal to provide free drinks in NSW,” the former employee said. “Then management asked why we weren’t reaching the targets - that was in free alcohol targets - and we said it’s in the law that you can’t give out free alcohol. “It was quite a toxic culture and there was a fairly high turnover of staff.” The former employee said the regular customers didn’t get the same service and asked why management was giving out free drinks. “In the end they understood it was to keep them gambling,” the employee said.

Dumping concerns raised
As a resident of Braeside Drive I would like to add some information regarding this issue. That pile of dumped trash was there for close to six months. I had complained to Council twice, and on the last occasion in June was contacted by Council officers and told, that their “budget for this kind of thing was depleted, and it would be collected in the new financial year”. It is just about mid August now and nothing has happened. This is a public health issue and I am sure that pile would be long gone were it around the corner from Council. This is just not good enough and we start to feel like second class citizens out here. Roland Vetter, Uki Editor’s note: the Braeside Drive rubbish pile has been removed by Council (See page 5 for more). The letters to the editor are most definitely an interesting read, some you have to agree with and others make you wonder if there is a story behind the story. It’s often a great opportunity to get things off your chest. I just wanted to share some support to those businesses being ridiculed over their industry’s behaviours and regarding their compliance issues. When people begin their businesses they’re in a situation where they often have limited resources and upon placing their Development Application they remain cautious in their vision for their businesses growth. The fact is if you talk your business up too much you could paying significant contributions before knowing your business is even going to survive or be successful. Council endorses a scaled approach for applicants, it is good to see businesses prosper and grow.

Front page for what again
No I am not talking about our farmers that are really hurting but this is a statement made by a water extractor from Urliup named Mr Karlos. Prominent front page coverage and articles in the local newspapers concerning his ‘plight’. It seems that he is complaining that he has to abide by the terms and conditions of his Development Application (DA) with Tweed Shire Council and as such his income will be depleted by a very considerable amount if he has to comply with the law. In other words, his lifestyle has been dependent on unlawful activity. Without it he is suffering. Personally, I think he should sack his media adviser and spin doctor, keep a low profile and await the outcome of his legal challenge. This attempt at gaining sympathy from the people of the shire I would think have fallen on deaf ears. I have no sympathy whatsoever. To accuse the Council officers and four of the councillors of promoting a “witch hunt” (Trump speak) against him by their pursuit of his unlawful activity is ridiculous. That is their job. The four councillors and the Council officers should be applauded, and to say the Council
should be stripped of their powers to uphold the law is ridiculous. The rule of law applies to everyone Mr Karlos, including you. Without it we would have anarchy. Accusations of a ‘greenie’ cabal within the councillors would in my mind be quite upsetting to the Labor councillor Reece Byrnes. Sussex Street will be in turmoil. I wonder what label he would put on the other three councillors that have consistently voted to support him and vote against Council pursuing his alleged illegal activities. In my mind failing in their duties as councillors could lead to many labels. Best not to give you my label. His statement that he has made a complaint to ICAC about Council and councillors is a very dangerous and foolish step in my view. Once the ‘octopus’ that is ICAC is unleashed its tentacles can spread to the most unlikely places. He would be scrutinised, his business dealings, all phone, email and meetings with any, and all of the Council officers and councillors going back to the original DA approval. After 15 years of allegedly flaunting his DA who knows what they might uncover. My advice to you Mr Karlos is to ‘cop it sweet’. Keep a low profile and if you want to know who ‘is really hurting’, then jump in your helicopter and go visit our farmers out west who know the true meaning of ‘hurting’. Gwyn Hooper, Uki
Water extraction, I say no
It is incomprehensible to me that after all the issues about water mining, water bottling , and the consequences of such that the Council and councillors are not putting an end to this disgusting practice . To me there is no other solution to this ongoing debate than to stop it altogether. People who take water out of the ground to be put in plastic bottles should be ashamed of themselves. This water belongs to all of us. Without it we have nothing. Enough said. Marian van Gestel, Uki
Don’t rush the important things or risk mistakes
When decisions are rushed through, mistakes are made. The decision by the State Health Department to relocate our hospital is quite “out of the blue”. Already the background assessments and planning to extend The Tweed Hospital on the existing site have been done and paid for. There are important questions to be considered before any new location is finalised.
Decisions made by bureaucrats in Sydney are often out of touch with local knowledge. The farmland at Cudgen is State Significant and productive because this particular location is where the water caught by our magnificent Mount Warning is pressured out from the underground aquifer. Construction of multi-storey buildings here is risky and possibly unwise. What if the brand new hospital slipped on the deep shifting mud and soft coffee rock and slid over sideways into Cudgen Lake. Before a decision is made I would insist that an engineering assessment of the problem be done in the wet season. If the decision process were transparent this report would be tabled. Weather science has been around for many centuries, diligently documenting measurements each day and analysing patterns, so as to best predict what to expect in the future. More extreme weather is predicted and, for sure, this is what is happening. Whereas most of Australia will suffer more drought, Tweed will have more rain, and in heavy dumps. Well, that’s more water pouring out of the plateau at Cudgen, underneath the foundations of this proposed construction. And more floods isolating the community from this proposed hospital in time of emergency. This decision proves again how irresponsible our parliamentary representatives can be, wheeling and dealing behind closed doors with vested interests who pay political donations. We already have a hospital fo r Twe e d C o a s t re s i d e n t s, Murwillumbah Hospital. Many of us love Murwillumbah Hospital and would prefer to have it upgraded, as well as upgrading and extending Tweed Hospital on the existing site. Has this option been given a fair debate? Miranda Mills, Mount Burrel
Hospital concerns growing
In last week’s Tweed Valley Weekly, Geoff Provest is quoted. “I am disappointed with the Relocate Team spreading misinformation.” Health Infrastructure are quoted “if no agreement can be reached on the price of the land at Cudgen, the matter will be referred to the Valuer General.” This comes a week after Mr Provest said that the sale could go through as early as the next day. Is this misinformation, given that protracted negotiations are happening and perhaps compulsory site acquisition will have to be done? Are the Health Infrastructure team guilty of misinformation as well,
when they will not clearly state that the current Tweed Heads hospital will close as a hospital? By stating that some out of hospital services will be retained, they are deliberately confusing many residents who still believe that they will be able to be treated there. This is not so, as all existing hospital services will be transferred and relocated to the new Tweed Valley Hospital. These statements are available on their website, but never is the word closed used. Is this misinformation, or merely hiding the truth of the proposed closure of the hospital? Our group of concerned farmers and residents are spreading correct information, trying to reach many older residents who don’t have access to the internet, and who rely mainly on the free papers for their news. We wouldn’t have had to deliver fact sheets to Tweed Shire residents if the truth had been told about the hospital closure from day one. We are very disappointed with Health Infrastructure, and also our elected representatives. It should not be up to community members to ensure that the truth is told to every resident. Barbara Roughan, member of Relocate Tweed Valley Hospital from State Significant Farmland
Clarification on water DAs
The Tweed Valley Weekly wishes to clarify a response that appeared in the Tweed Valley Weekly, August 2, by Tweed Shire Council Director of Planning and Regulation Vince Connell in a story titled ‘New water extraction applications received’. In the article Mr Connell said conditions of approval will be recommended “which are likely to include the keeping of log books and other records of accountability”. The Weekly wants to clarify that these conditions will be imposed on approved applications and does not mean new applications will be automatically approved. “The Council response was not intended in any way to convey that any current or future DAs will be pre-determined as being approved, but rather was a general response to the measures envisaged to monitor and manage any future compliance of those applications if they are approved,” Mr Connell said. “Council staff and elected Councillors are bound by statutory and procedural requirements to consider every application on their planning merits.” Please note the views on the letters page are that of the letter writer and not of the Tweed Valley Weekly.

Supporting local business
There may be periods of transition before applicants can start estimating their next stage of growth and what their businesses might look like in the future. So costs that may be incurred need to fit your budget but also match the scope of your vision of growth. Predicting and going to the next level and creating growth needs to often be proven before you can further speculate and make council contributions. Sometimes businesses may have to breach their conditions to grow and evolve and I believe this is acceptable to a degree or point. Apart from blatant disregard of conditions it is beneficial for applicants and the economy to see the workforce grow so being supportive is the way I’d like to see Tweed Shire Council be with growing businesses. I would also be pleased to see residents support the growth of businesses in our Tweed. There may be an application in Council’s system to address what may be considered a breach. T h e re ’s n e a rly a lway s t wo or more sides to any story, so understanding that before we start making judgments or accusations is a desirable source of logic. It is up to the individual to make that call of course. Cr Pryce Allsop, Murwillumbah

Dungay water extraction application on exhibition Illegal dumping remains big issue for Tweed
By Jonathon Howard AN APPLICATION for a water extraction facility at Dungay has reignited concerns for future water security as the Tweed is now classified as drought affected. The application to extract 38 megalitres of groundwater per year from the 298 Dungay Creek Road address was submitted to Tweed Shire Council in September 2016. The proposal seeks to use a maximum of six to eight 19-metre trucks per day between the hours of 7am to 9pm during daylight savings and 7am to 7pm for the remainder of the year. The property has a current bore license to extract 19 megalitres of water per year and a licence for another 19-megalitre bore that the applicant, Robert Dawes, said would be drilled at a later date. The applicant said when operating at the maximum capacity of 38 megalitres a year, the site would average three trucks a day before their allocation is exhausted. “This is not expected to be the regular daily frequency but it allows for unexpected times when there are machinery breakdowns and the like or flooding when water cannot be extracted,” the application reads. Tweed Shire Council requested an engineer’s report in November 2017, to address the reduced sight distances along Dungay Creek Road, as well as required road widening. The report by Knobel Consulting, recommended upgrading the entry location to the property via Dungay Creek Road to improve sight distances and the widening of three bends that would require the removal of several trees. The applicant has also provided a hydrologist report that found that although there was limited data available,

it was unlikely that Dungay Creek was connected to the aquifer beneath the property and found the water extraction would not affect nearby bores. The hydrologist report by Korbus Argent found the groundwater beneath the property was likely to be present within networks of interconnected fractures. A pumping test of the bore found the water refreshed within an hour when pumped at a rate that was three times faster than the rate proposed by the applicant and was not reliant or recharge from overlying unconsolidated sediments. The report also noted there was more than 24,000 megalitres that were unassigned in the Water Sharing Plan for the area and there were no high priority groundwater dependent ecosystems in the vicinity of the property. Three other registered bores were identified as being within 800m of the bore, but the report stated the water extraction would be unlikely to impact nearby water users. “Whilst few site-specific data are available, appropriate reasoning supported by external sources of published information have enabled an objective assessment to be completed,” the hydrologist’s report reads. “The assessment considers that the extraction of up to 19 ML/y from the subject bore and 19 M L/y from a second bore which is yet to be installed to the north east on the same lot is unlikely to create a significant or material impact on other water users or the environment.” In conclusion the report recommended drilling a groundwater monitoring borehole because of the “paucity” of groundwater data. “The monitoring bore should also be used in conjunction with test pumping
from the existing and yet-to-be installed extraction bores to verify the hydraulic characteristics of the aquifer,” the report reads. “Monitoring of existing local registered bores throughout any periods of test pumping may also provide an additional means of verifying the sustainability of the proposed extraction.” Meanwhile, Tweed Water Alliance has slammed the application expressing concern that NSW is now 100 per cent in drought and “it appears that this is the new normal”. “Water must stay in the shire and serve its residents, its wildlife and its World Heritage Areas,” Tweed Water Alliance spokesperson Jeremy Tager said. “This will allow extraction and export of millions of litres to put in plastic bottles. “Water extraction has many adverse impacts. It is a councillor’s legal obligation to protect the community from these impacts.” Mr Tager quoted Professor Peter Cook, one of the country’s leading fractured rock aquifer hydrologists, who he said had written a paper that completely refutes the applicant’s pumping study. “The applicant claims that the aquifer from which the applicant will pump is not connected to Dungay Creek,” he said. “Professor Cook makes it clear that much more work needs to be done before any such claim will have any scientific validity. “Local residents strongly oppose this water mine and their voices must be heard.” Mr Tager said communities are now standing up and demanding an end to “water mining” just as they did with coal seam gas.
By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Council has provided an update on the piggyback dumping issue across the Tweed Shire and revealed thousands of Tweed residents are continuing to use the kerbside clean up service which is now a dial-up service. The comments followed concerns from Braeside Drive residents that a garbage pile was getting out of control after several residents complained of piggyback dumping. Residents told The Weekly that using the dial for collection service had issues with dumping on their collection pile. A Council spokesperson said the Braeside Drive pile was cleaned up last Thursday, August 9. The Weekly asked Council whether piggyback dumping is an issue? “Yes, as it is for councils across Australia. It is a costly problem,” A Council spokesperson said. “To reduce the chance of piggyback dumping, only place items out one day before your booked collection date. “Placing items out earlier may encourage others to illegally dump items on your pile.” Council said many items can be recycled for free at the Community Recycling Centre at the Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre, such as paint, gas bottles, fire extinguishers and e-waste. “If piggyback dumping is an ongoing problem for you at your address, please advise when booking your service so you are not disadvantaged,” Council’s spokesperson said. Council also revealed a surprising number of Tweed residents are using the dial-up collection service. “In 2017/2018, there were 9581 on-call clean up service bookings in the Tweed,” Council’s spokesperson said. “At times of greatest demand, Council’s contractor Solo Waste has scheduled extra trucks to provide the service in a timely way.” Residents wanting to learn more about recycling options are encouraged to visit Council’s website: www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/ WasteDisposal

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Resident concerns over pound moving
If you receive a fine in NSW that you feel was unjust, you have the choice of either requesting a review from Revenue NSW or taking the matter directly to court. John Gooley of Stacks Law Firm says it is generally best to avoid going to court wherever possible because of the time and financial impact involved in legal proceedings, and the uncertainty of the outcome. It is also possible that if you lose the appeal against the fine, you could also be faced with the prosecutor – usually representing a government organisation – seeking to have you cover the cost of their legal representation. “The magistrate may or may not allow this, but it is worth taking into consideration before deciding to go to court to appeal the fine you consider unfair – it may end up costing you far more than just the fine,” Mr Gooley said. “It is important to ensure you meet the time limits for lodging an appeal against a fine set by Revenue NSW and document any evidence to support your case. It may be wise to get advice from a lawyer on how best to present your case – particularly if it involves the possibility of losing your driving licence or endangering your job.” However, Mr Gooley has found an increasing number of people are choosing to go to court to argue against the fine they have been given, rather than first appealing to Revenue NSW, as they hope for a more sympathetic hearing. “In court, the magistrate will often ask why the person did not seek consideration from Revenue NSW in the first instance. Usually it is because some people feel – rightly or wrongly – that it is pointless to make representations to Revenue NSW, because you will likely get knocked back anyway, and have to go to court regardless. “Others have had the experience of requesting a review of the fine and putting forward their side of the story to Revenue NSW, only to have it used against them in an effective riposte in court if they end up there. Therefore, they feel they have a better chance of a favourable outcome in court if Revenue NSW is not forewarned and forearmed in relation to their story ahead of the hearing.” As a result, courts are becoming increasingly clogged with people appealing fines. This could worsen when, as reported, Revenue NSW merges its debt collection branch with the branch that handles reviews from the public.
Friends of the Pound (FOP) do an “excellent job in caring, looking after and rehoming dogs and cats”. “However, I have never met a single person that would want that facility located within a distance from their family home that allowed barking dogs to affect their quality of life during the day and the ability to peacefully sleep at night,” he said. “The health issues related to lack of sleep are well documented and cannot be disregarded in this situation. “I also believe it is unfair to all parties involved to relocate a much needed and well-respected group like Friends of the Pound and the onsite Council staff, to a new facility where conflict will almost certainly arise often due to noise related issues.” Mr Fitzsimmons said many of the residents in the area have strongly objected to this proposal for many different reasons, but noise is the main factor. “This facility is only manned for a small percentage of the day and unattended animals can and do bark on a regular basis throughout the night which with no staff present goes unchecked,” he said. “The nearby residents would have nobody to contact at Council after hours and nothing they could do to stop the constant barking. “It is totally unfair to move this facility to any area that affects residents, particularly as they purchased their homes in good faith and with the acceptance of what was around them at the time of purchase.” In response a Council spokesperson said any decision to advance the current relocation of the pound is firstly dependent on the NSW Department of Planning and Environment approving a Planning Proposal to allow for the pound

The motion also called for further investigation of the site’s history and alleged “potential offences” under section 120 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act which deals with pollution of waters.

on Council owned land that is zoned infrastructure (SP2 Infrastructure) and labelled as a Waste Management Facility. “A development application (DA) would then need to be lodged, requiring a formal advertising and notification, and further opportunity for local residents to make a submission,” the Council spokesperson said. “A detailed technical assessment of noise impacts will be needed as part of any DA lodged for the new facility. “There has been no consideration of altering the current hours of operation in this recent proposal. Any changes would need to be addressed and assessed in the DA.” The Council spokesperson said they were interested in establishing a colocated Council Pound/FOP Rehoming Centre facility similar to that operated by the Gold Coast City Council and the Animal Welfare League Queensland at Coombabah. Council’s April 5 report said the proposed Eviron Road site provides a “great opportunity to provide a more contemporary and functional facility to accommodate both Council’s companion animal regulatory service, as well as an enhanced rehoming centre for Council’s not-for-profit partner, Friends of the Pound (FOP), who have provided an important volunteer assistance to the day-to-day running of the existing Pound and care for the animals over several decades”.

The pitfalls of going to court to appeal a fine
By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Council has sought to reassure residents that any relocation of the Council Animal Pound & Animal Rehoming Facility at Stotts Creek to 719 Eviron Road will require approval from the NSW Department of Planning and Environment who will consider resident’s submissions. News of the pound shifting locations was first raised in Council’s April 5 meeting which highlighted a range of advantages in making the move citing the deteriorating state of the current buildings and services, susceptibility to being cut off from access during major weather and flood incidents as well as its general incompatibility of safety and welfare for council staff, volunteers and animals. Another issue raised by Council was the poor access and amenity for the public visiting the pound at its current location. However, the possibility of the pound shifting to 719 Eviron Road has promoted concerns from residents in the area including Paul Fitzsimmons who lives near the proposed site. “On June 6 a letter was sent from Tweed Shire Council to a neighbouring property at Eviron Road, Eviron, notifying them that Council was proposing a zoning change to allow them to move the current Council Animal Pound & Animal Rehoming Facility from its current site, where the noise affects no property owners, to an area approximately 2.5 kilometres away and within an audible distance of many homes,” Mr Fitzsimmons said in a letter to The Weekly. Mr Fitzsimmons stressed that most members of the community believe the Council Animal Pound & Animal Rehoming Facility in conjunction with

Destination Tweed submits final report as DR Tourism visits Tweed By Jonathon Howard DESTINATION TWEED has submitted its final report to Tweed Shire Council this week, with day visitors still the largest market for the shire as the tourism economy hit a new record of $491 million for the year ending March 2018. The report revealed that domestic day trip visitors have increased their spending from $68 a day in September 2017, to $119 in March 2018, per person, or an increase of almost 45 per cent to a total of $160 million in 12 months. Domestic overnight visitors remain the strongest tourism market for the Tweed Shire with spending growing from $111 per night in September 2017 to $169 in March 2018, and a total spend of $313 million in the past year. International visitor spending was comparatively lower than overnight and day visitors with international visitors spending $51 per night in September 2017, up to $69 in March 2018 and a total $17.7 million. However, international visitors area staying longer and spending more than local tourists, with the spend per visit $577 for international tourists compared to $565 for domestic overnight visitors. “The year ending (YE) March 2018 included the period immediately post flood and pre Commonwealth Games,”the report reads. “Whilst spending has hit a new record for the YE visitor economy, there have been significant changes in the type of travel out of South East Queensland, our key target market.
“The changes align with changes in numbers across the Northern Rivers Region. “The shift has seen a significant increase in the numbers and spend in domestic day trip and a reduction in numbers of domestic overnight visitors from this market. “YE March 2018 was the best 12 month period on record, with the total visitor spend reaching $491 million compared to the average over the past five years of $377 million.” The report said Destination Tweed had been focusing on the development of food and agritourism, nature-based tourism and cultural tourism which it said was reflective of the aspirations of the community and the character of the region and has a goal of quardrupling the Tweed’s tourism economy to around $1.5 million by 2030. “The development of the longterm strategic tourism plan, the Tweed Destination Management Plan 2030 (DMP) will be presented to Council for adoption under the economic development portfolio and sets out stretch goals to quadruple the visitor economy based on the June 2017 figures,” the report read. Destination Tweed’s final report acknowledged the efforts of the board members, staff, contractors and volunteers. “Finally, the future for tourism in the Tweed is very bright, thanks largely to dedicated board members, staff, local contractors and volunteers who have given so much, particularly in the last year to support the organisation they believe in deserve our utmost gratitude as
they put in above and beyond and have stepped up again and again to deliver for the region,” the report read. “So too have the industry members who have come together to support the organisation and collaborate and have also risen to new heights.” “Whilst the awarding of tourism services to a Queensland for profit company by TSC heralds the end of an era, it also creates a new opportunity for Destination Tweed Ltd as a truly independent tourism industry association, to focus on ensuring the destination is managed and the industry develops in a way that sustains our environment and sense of community and delivers on the goals stout in the DMP. “With almost 20 years representing the interest of the tourism industry in the Tweed, Destination Tweed Ltd has a bright (future) ahead.” Meanwhile, DR Tourism have provided The Weekly with an update on a recent visit by staff members and Director Robbie Cornelius, who are busy researching the Tweed Shire. “DR Tourism had a very hectic and enlightening visit to the Tweed last week,” Mr Cornelius said. “It was packed with meetings for two days. “We met with a number of key stakeholders in the region including tourism operators, heads of business associations, Destination North Coast, the peak regional tourism body, as well as conducting site visits and tours of some of the region’s product offerings. “A major focus of our visit was to meet with, and present to, the Tweed
Shire Council councillors and senior staff. “ We we re e n c o u rag e d a n d heartened by their interest, passion and vision for the region.” Mr Cornelius said there was no doubt that one highlight of his visit was meeting with Tweed Experiences Network TEN. “As a group of tourism operators with much experience and passion, they are well aligned with the Tweed’s strengths of nature based and lifestyle tourism,” he said. Also present was Danielle Andreuzzi, another DR Tourism director who said TEN members asked the hard questions. “They also shared their views and were the perfect hosts,” Ms Andreuzzi said. “It was refreshing to hear such passion and commitment from a group of tourism operators in the one room (or boat in this instance).” Mr Cornelius said DR Tourism have not yet made any decisions but have asked Destination Tweed for permission to begin to ascertain what staff might wish to continue with DR Tourism. “We are yet to formally receive the completed Destination Management Plan from the Council,” he said. “This will summarise all the current work that has been done, including the engagement with industry and stakeholders on the region’s tourism direction. “If the plan already contains a strong focus on the stunning natural, culinary and cultural aspects of the Tweed, we will be delighted. “We also want to ensure that there is a focus on the drive market,
DR Tourism Director Robbie Cornelius
sports tourism and the world class surfing attributes, to grow average length of stay and yield from current visitation. Visitor dispersal throughout the region will be an important focus too. “Ensuring visitors experience all that the region has to offer and encouraging repeat visitation will be pivotal in our direction.” Mr Cornelius said the DR Tourism team were already growing to love the “stunning landscapes” of the Tweed Shire where they see huge potential for tourism. “The changing and stunning landscape from the valley down to the coast is central to what the region is and has to offer,” he said. “Vistas of Mt Warning and the surrounding peaks, valleys and villages provide charm, beauty and a creative, even quirky feel to the destination. “The relaxed coastal areas allow the region to offer such a diverse range of experiences and quality products. “Ultimately, the drawcard will be the experiences that people have and the emotional reaction to what’s available.”

Get More Energy with
Free 25 year Inverter Warranty Upgrade Extended!
Until the end of August 2018, 888 Solar Tek will provide a 25 year warranty upgrade to each New SolarEdge system ordered for FREE!
Power Prices Went Up 26% in July - Again! The Solar Feed In Tariff has been cut by an average of 3c per kWh and power has gone up 3c per kWh. If you add these together this is a 26% increase in power prices for solar households.
Every July the Electricity Networks adjust retail pricing for the next year. Despite Government spin about lowering prices, the evidence on your power bill is the opposite. Some retailers are lowering the rate of power and then hiking the daily supply charge, claiming to have lowered prices! Others have kept the solar FIT high and whacked bigger increases in power and supply charge on customers. Are you tired of the constant deception about your power bills as every retailer creates a different spin on the same news - higher prices? The bottom line is they all buy power from the same place and get it through the same wires. The illusion of competition is a sideshow. What’s really happening is a lot of talk, while gas, coal and oil corporations rip us off with support from the Government!
Solar is the Best Way to Save Money on Power
The good news is the value of solar energy you use yourself just went up. Investment in solar power has a return rate of 25-35% p.a.! Compare that to investment in shares, property or super! Once your solar system has paid for itself in 3-4 years, it will continue to make free power for years to come.
ACCC Recommends Solar Rebate be Axed in 2 Years
The Government wants to get rid of incentives for rooftop solar. The ACCC report they commissioned has threatened to phase out the solar rebate in two years instead of 13. Our average customer saves $4,104 on the price of a new solar system now and any move to axe the rebate will put prices up by 50%. If you are thinking about getting solar, you had better move now while rebates are still in place.

Clarrie Hall Dam recently dipped below 100 per cent capacity, a sign of drier times, even in the Tweed.
It’s getting drier, but no restrictions yet The drought across NSW officially hit the Tweed last week, as we joined the North Coast in being declared ‘drought affected’. Figures from the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) show every part of the state is affected by the dry conditions, with almost one quarter classified as being in ‘intense drought’. Water supplies remain strong however, with Council’s Manager Water and Wastewater, Michael Wraight saying water restrictions are not likely to be introduced in the Tweed in the near future. “We’re not at a position now, or getting towards a position where we’d be enforcing any particular restrictions on people but always encouraging people to conserve water,” Mr Wraight said. “Dam levels only recently dropped below 100 per cent so we still have a reasonably healthy dam supply at the moment.” The Tweed is getting prepared to supply water for a growing population in the future. “Our preferred strategy is looking at the increased size of the existing Clarrie Hall Dam to provide that secure yield for our rising population,” he said.
Did you know? • The Tweed water catchment covers an area of more than 570 square kilometres and is located entirely within the boundary of Tweed Shire. • There are three water supply networks in the Tweed. The major network supplies Tweed Heads and surrounds, the Tweed Coast and the Murwillumbah district. While two small networks supply the rural villages of Tyalgum and Uki. • For much of the year, natural flows in the Tweed River supply our water. • During drier months (when flows in the freshwater section of the Tweed River fall below 95 per cent), flows are supplemented by releases from Clarrie Hall Dam situated on Doon Doon Creek – a tributary to the Tweed River. • When water is released from Clarrie Hall Dam, it flows down Doon Doon Creek and into the Tweed River upstream of Uki village. It then flows down to Bray Park Weir (a man-made tidal barrier that stops salt water entering the fresh water supply). Once the water reaches Bray Park Weir, it is extracted, treated and pumped via a network of more than 718km of pipes to 41 reservoirs throughout the Tweed.
Boomerang your beverage Did you know 2.7 million paper/plastic coffee cups are thrown away every day in Australia? A number of Murwillumbah cafés are taking part in the Boomerang Mugs initiative, which aims to reduce the amount of wasted cups. Customers can borrow a clean mug to take away rather than paper/plastic coffee cups. All shops will accept donated mugs as long as they’re not cracked, chipped etc. Then you just return your clean mug to be sanitised for next time. Participating cafes include JuJus, Wild Thyme, Blue Frog, Sugar Beat, New Leaf, Ben’s French Patisserie and the Dragon Café. Boomerang mugs are not suitable for driving or for very hot liquids such as espresso. Left: Could this be the oldest mug in the Tweed? This classic World Expo ‘88 mug is exclusively available in JuJus Café in Murwillumbah.

A virtual treat for the senses Submerge yourself inside a breaking wave; step into the shoes and eyes of a stranger using a virtual-reality headset; transform hand-drawn artworks to digital avatars; and, explore the body’s response to sensory deprivation and extreme isolation. Experimenta Make Sense: International Triennial of Media Art is on show at Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre. It is an immersive and interactive exhibition that investigates how we ‘make sense’ of the world; how we use our senses to make sense; and, how we make sense through making. Curated by Jonathan Parsons and Lubi Thomas, the exhibition features the work of 20 Australian and international artists who engage with contemporary technology, including video, virtual reality, robotics, mechanics, computer software and electronics in playful and thought-provoking ways. “The exhibition expresses the disconcerting and delightful world of the digital age,” Experimenta Artistic Director Jonathan Parsons said. “Both playful and thought provoking, this exhibition asks audiences to immerse their senses into a ‘thinking’, ‘feeling’ and ‘doing’ contemplation of what it is to be human in an age of technological acceleration.” Tweed Regional Gallery Director Susi Muddiman OAM, said the Gallery was very keen to host this touring exhibition because they do not have the equipment to cater for new media to host this genre by itself. “It has been a long time since we have been able to feature this genre at our gallery and there are not many quality, professional touring shows of its kind around.” The exhibition will run until 23 September 2018.

y d a e r t e g o t e m Ti for summer
Council to clamp down on filming By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Council is developing a policy to regulate film productions including a complete halt to filming cars on Tweed beaches and limiting the number of productions that can be filmed at the Hastings Point Headland. The policy comes after two major film productions, Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales (2015) and Aquaman (2017) were filmed at the headland which Council said is one of the shire’s “most environmental sensitive natural locations”. The filming of Aquaman caused part of the headland to be closed to the public for more than three months while an elaborate lighthouse set was constructed for two days of filming. Several Hastings Point residents opposed the closing of the headland for Hollywood and were concerned Council’s approval of the filming set a dangerous precedent. The Draft Filming Policy comes after consultation with Hastings Point residents, the Progress Association, Create NSW, councillors and Council staff, Tweed Byron Local Aboriginal Land Council, Big 4 Holiday Park, and the Adventure Education Marine Environment Field Study and Resource Centre The policy will allow only one major production to be filmed at the Hastings Point headland every three years and for a limit of 21 days. The proposed policy will also prohibit filming of vehicles on the Tweed’s beaches with the rationale for this being that motorised recreational vehicle access is not permitted on Tweed Shire beaches. “The Hastings Point Headland location is extremely attractive to filmmakers, both Australian and international, however it is

acknowledged that Council is to balance filming requests for this location with community needs and amenity. “Therefore, only one high impact production every three years will be licenced, with the filming period not to exceed 21 days (from bump in to bump out),” the policy reads. “Peak usage periods do not provide immediate grounds for refusal, however applications for use during whale watching season, primitive camping season, and school holiday periods are not encouraged.” President of the Hastings Point Progress Association Gary Thorpe said he was happy with Council’s draft filming protocol and welcomed the move. “It’s good to see that community consultation is alive and well in the Tweed Shire,” Mr Thorpe told The Weekly. “It’s a good outcome and we hope that all the councillors accept their staff ’s recommendations, and this becomes the new filming protocol. “Council staff have recognised the unique environmental values of Hastings Point and that’s a great result.” Councillors will vote at tonight’s (August 16) Ordinary Council Meeting whether to place the Draft Filming Policy on public exhibition, which is the staff recommendation.

By Jo Kennett TWEED SHIRE Council has decided not to implement a proposal put forward by a group of dog-owners to change the rules for on-leash and off-leash areas at a Tweed Coast beach. Council said that the proposal didn’t address the impact on the environment and wildlife and that the proposal limited beach use for other members of the public at peak usage times. Paws for a Cause, a group of Casuarina/ Salt residents and other beach-users, had petitioned Council for off-leash times at Salt and Casuarina Beach from 4pm-6pm and 6am-8am. Council stated in a report that the signage and increased compliance activity from Tweed Shire Council Rangers had resulted in Council receiving a petition from Paws for a Cause calling for specific times of each day where dogs can be allowed off leash access at these beaches. “Whilst it is acknowledged that this approach is used in other locations, it is not proposed for application in Tweed Shire as it: • Does not suitably address the impact on the environment, including threatened species given the ecological significance of the Tweed Coast, including large areas of retained and rehabilitated habitat, this proposal does not
provide suitable protection for wildlife,” Council’s report reads. “There is no time-based approach to providing off leash access that can satisfactorily avoid periods of wildlife activity, including the need to account for seasonal variation and breeding periods throughout the year. • “Limits the use of the beach for other users at these times. The early morning and afternoons are periods of high demand for all beach users. Time based off leash access restricts access for some users, whereas areabased allocation of off leash areas ensures that all users can use the relevant section of beach that suits their individual Preference.” Council will also vote this Thursday, August 16, on whether to proceed with putting forward a proposal to make further changes to current dog beach zonings in the area. The proposal for the Casuarina/Salt area includes changing the current leash-free area to the south of Cudgen Creek at Kingscliff to a dog exclusion zone extending to the north end of the Salt residential area. The current arrangements for an on-leash area would continue to the southern end of Cotton Beach where it is proposed to have a leash-free area running for 1,130 metres south to the start of the Cudgen Nature Reserve. The beach adjacent to the Cudgen Nature Reserve would continue as a dog exclusion zone to Cabarita Beach, but would include Norries Headland.

Council to vote on Tweed Shire dog beach changes Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club and a dog exclusion zone south to Cudgen Creek, including the south side of the creek extending to the bridge. It is proposed to change the current leash-free area south of Cudgen Creek at Kingscliff to a dog exclusion zone extending to the north end of the Salt residential area. The current arrangement for an on-leash area would continue to the southern end of Cotton Beach where it is proposed to have a leash-free area running for 1,130 metres south to the start of the Cudgen Nature Reserve. The beach adjacent to the Cudgen Nature Reserve would continue as a dog exclusion zone to Cabarita Beach, but would also include Norries Headland. To the south of Norries Headland would change from leash-free to a dog exclusion zone to a spot just north of the Sandalwood Drive roundabout area. The proposal for Hastings Point is to extend the dog exclusion zone north from the Peninsula Street beach access to the north side of the residential area at Hastings Point at the Dune Care track. The proposed change to plans include extending the dog exclusion zone from the south side of Hastings Point headland to the access track opposite the Shell Service Station and to make the whole Pottsville estuary area a dog exclusion zone, including the beach at the creek mouth on the north side and the south side down to the access track adjacent to the bridge.
South of the bridge at Pottsville would continue with the existing arrangement - including the leashfree area until just before Black Rocks. The additional areas proposed for off-leash parks are Suter Park or Arkinstall Park at Tweed Heads South, the Bray Park Reserve, and Banora Green. Council is also proposing to remove Turnock Street Park at Chinderah as an off-leash park. Possible off-leash areas as alternatives to the proposed revised beach locations are Cotton Beach Park at Casuarina and the Old Fingal Boat Harbour Park. “ C o m mu n i t y c o n s u l t at i o n undertaken in 2016 for Council’s draft Open Space Strategy identified support for improving the provision of off-leash dog areas,” the Council report states. “The community identified the importance of off-leash areas and the effective management of dogs in the Tweed Shire. “The provision of fenced, offleash areas in locations other than beaches and the need for increased enforcement were also identified, as was the need to improve the planning and siting of off-leash areas. “The proposed changes are anticipated to result in significant benefits to all beach users and the natural environment. “The existing prohibited areas are proposed to be increased primarily to improve environmental outcomes by excluding dogs from creek mouths (estuaries), headlands and the beach areas adjacent to headlands.”

By Jo Kennett TWEED SHIRE Council will look at a number of proposals for dog beaches at their meeting on Thursday, August 16, to decide whether to put them forward for public exhibition. The key reason for the proposed changes is “Wildlife, habitat and environmental protection” according to Council documents, with a number of endangered bird species and turtles nesting in the area. If councillors vote to put the proposals forward, local residents will have a chance to put in a submission during the exhibition period which will run for 28 days. Council will look at proposals to add three off-leash parks throughout the shire, but also at changing offleash on-leash or prohibited. The Council proposal includes changing Duranbah beach from onleash to off-leash, and changing the current on-leash area south of the Tweed River to Fingal Surf Club to a dog exclusion zone, until 816 metres north of the Fingal Beach SLSC, and then a leash-free area up until the surf club. South of the surf club would continue to be a dog exclusion zone to the Fingal Headland. It is proposed to make Fingal Headland a dog exclusion zone and to change the current on-leash area south of the headland along Dreamtime Beach a dog exclusion zone extending to Kingscliff north. Council proposes to have a new 1,085 metre off-leash area at Kingscliff north, with continued on-leash arrangements south to the

Tweed sand quarry expansions to be approved TWO TWEED sand quarries are set to expand their operations after the NSW Department of Planning & Environment recommended their applications be approved. The Department of Planning has recommended approval of an application by the Dunloe Park Sand Quarry at Pottsville to triple their permitted number of truck movements, and for Hanson's Tweed Sand Quarry at Cudgen to extract an additional 115,000 cubic metres of sand and increase their hourly number of trucks from 20 to 36. Tweed Shire Council had raised concerns over Dunloe Park Sand Quarry's application to increase their permitted number of truck movements from four to 12 per hour, citing residential amenity and impacts on koalas and their habitat as reasons for not supporting the proposal. Only one submission was received following exhibition of the plans that raised concerns over dust, noise, poor behaviour of truck drivers and reduced sight distances because of overgrown vegetation. Council had called for the application to be re-exhibited because a newspaper advertisement n o t i f y i n g t h e p u bl i c o f t h e application incorrectly identified the increase in truck movements stating the applicant proposed eight truck movements per hour instead of 12. However, the Department of Planning’s report said despite the error, the exhibition process was “not significantly affected” and the submissions they received were based on the Environmental
Assessment which did list the correct number of truck movements. A Road Safety Assessment commissioned by the quarry recommended several improvements to Pottsville Road including u p g r a d i n g ro a d m a r k i n g s, guardrails, trimming trees to improve sight distances, additional signage, resurfacing damaged road and providing a one-metre shoulder on sections. The Department of Planning has recommended the quarry works with Council to determine which vegetation could require trimming and to impose a condition that requires road safety measures to be in place within 12 months of the application being approved. “This assessment has shown that the proposed increase in truck movements would have limited increased impacts on the environment and the public," the Department of Planning said. "As the proposed modification does not seek to increase the amount of product transported from the site per annum, the Department recognises that there would be no increase in the maximum allowable number of trucks on the haulage route over the course of a year. "Rather, the modification seeks to allow flexibility in the number of trucks that can be dispatched in any hour."
Tweed Sand Quarry
Hanson's Tweed Sand Quarry applied to the Department of Planning last year to increase their yearly extraction limit from 150,000 cubic metres to 265,000 cubic metres,
or 400,000 tonnes, and to increase their permitted maximum number of truck movements from 20 to 36 per hour, to meet increased demand for fine sand. Council objected to the application with concerns around upgrades and maintenance of Altona Road and Tweed Coast Road, which the trucks use to access the quarry. Following Council's June, 2018, planning meeting, a submission was sent to the Department of Planning objecting to the quarry's expansion because of road upgrade and maintenance agreements, the timing associated with upgrading the Tweed Coast Road and Crescent Street intersection, road contributions and rehabilitation. The submission also stated that Council ‘did not support’ t h e a p p l i c at i o n d u e t o i t s inappropriateness in the iconic Tweed landscape and also raised a number of concerns over various aspects of the existing development, including water quality and water management, impacts on vegetation corridors, visual impacts, air quality and land use. Council also requested that any increase in truck movements be delayed until Tweed Coast Road is upgraded to four lanes. Gales Kingscliff, who own large portions of land in West Kingscliff and the Cudgen Lakes Sand Quarry, also objected to the application because they believed Hanson should contribute to the road upgrades. Gales' quarry is currently piping sand to fill their West Kingscliff
development site, but are required to upgrade the Tweed Coast Road and Crescent Street intersection before they can use a daily average of 124 truck movements to move sand from their quarry. Gales did not object to Hanson's increase in trucks but emphasised the need for an equitable approach to any intersection upgrades and maintenance of Altona Road, which is a single lane road that accesses both quarries. They also raised whether the traffic assessment had considered the impacts of new housing developments within Kingscliff and Cudgen. Hanson offered to fully fund the Tweed Coast Road intersection and Altona Road upgrades so that it would not delay their expansion plans. "The Department consulted with both Hanson and Gales in relation to Council’s recommendation for the immediate upgrade of the Tweed Coast Road / Crescent Street intersection," the Department of Planning's report reads. "Both parties accepted Council’s recommendation on the basis that equitable terms for its delivery could be negotiated between them. "Consequently, the Department has recommended a condition of consent for the upgrade of the intersection to be undertaken either solely by Hanson or following Hanson and Gales entering into an equitable road upgrade agreement, in consultation with Council. "Additionally, the Department has recommended that these
upgrades are completed prior to any additional trucking under this modification." The Department of Planning also recommended the same for the upgrade of Altona Road and to impose a condition that would allow the Secretary to resolve any disputes, should the two parties be unable to reach an agreement. The Department of Planning has also recommended several measures to reduce noise from the sand quarry's dredge before increasing their rate of extraction, following a noise assessment which found that excessive noise could already be impacting nearby homes. According to the Department of Planning “Hanson has reviewed and agreed to the recommended conditions of consent".
Two more under assessment
The application by Gales Kingscliff to expand the lifespan of their quarry at Cudgen for a further 18 years until 2047 remains under assessment by the Department of Planning, with more information being requested on their Environmental Impact Statement. An application by Carbrook Sands to establish a new sand mining operation adjacent to the Pacific Highway at Chinderah with a 300,000 tonne limit over 53 years that would also use Altona Road and Tweed Coast Road, remains with the Department of Planning, who are awaiting a development application and Environmental Impact Statement before the application can be further assessed.

Thursday, August 16, 2018
Speculation rife around hospital land purchase “If the property is compulsorily acquired, the land owner can appeal the compensation amount determined by the Valuer General to the Land and Environment Court. “The Land and Environment Court proceedings are between the acquiring authority and the land owner.” Meanwhile, Hayley Paddon, who heads up the Relocate Team in support of Kings Forest for the new hospital, said the main issue is to inform and alert the community to contact Health Infrastructure as their consultants are doing a scoping study for the Environmental Impact Study (EIS). Ms Paddon said the Relocate Team have already collected nearly 4,000 signatures and she is urging “everyone to sign the petition and to help us relocate our much-needed hospital to a better location for all of the community”. “They are supposed to be consulting the community for EIS issues to provide to the Planning Minister,” Ms Paddon told The Weekly. “If people are concerned about the protected farmland that is being taken now and also in the future expansion, the endangered species and koalas that coincide in the nature reserve on the Cudgen site, the breaking of threestorey height limits in Kingscliff that will be discarded the Planning Ministers own Regional Plan 2036 (only signed off on in 2017) setting Tweed Heads as the Far North Coast Health Precinct area and main city centre. “The need to extend the health services precinct on more protected farmland which is all round the Cudgen site and will forever pose a problem in saving and maintaining the land as Australia's number one soil.” Ms Paddon said the loss to Tweed Heads will also be significant with the relocation of the hospital and the medical precinct that is currently around Tweed, plus the economic impacts in taking jobs from the town centre and businesses that rely on the staff and visitors that are currently there now.

By Jonathon Howard SPECULATION THAT the sale of Cudgen farmland for the Tweed Valley Hospital site has stalled at Cudgen Road, has raised concerns that NSW Health Infrastructure could move towards compulsory acquisition in the coming weeks. The Weekly was unable to communicate with the Cudgen land owner in relation to the purchase due to contractual obligations. However, The Weekly’s questions were instead directed to the Valuer General’s office this week to determine whether any moves towards compulsory acquisition have been initiated. In an email response a spokesperson for the Acting Valuer General, Michael Parker, said that his office has had “no involvement at this time” in the acquisition of land at 771 Cudgen Road, Cudgen, which is the site of the Tweed Valley Hospital. The response follows speculation from locals and the Relocate Team that the sale of the farmland had stalled, with further suggestions of differing prices between the land owner and Health Infrastructure. However, the fact the land acquisition has not been escalated to the Valuer General’s office could also indicate that negotiations towards a settlement are ongoing and therefore NSW Health Infrastructure could announce the sale of the Cudgen site any day. Member for Tweed Geoff Provest previously told The Weekly that he believed the sale was progressing well and he expects construction to commence prior to Christmas this year. The Weekly put several further questions to the Valuer General’s office including whether the land owner can appeal the acquisition of the land in the Land and Environment Court? “Should an acquiring authority and land owner be unable to negotiate the sale of land, an acquiring authority can compulsorily acquire the land,” a spokesperson for the Valuer General said. “When land is compulsorily acquired, the Valuer General is required to independently determine the amount of compensation an acquiring authority must offer the former land owner.

End of an era for Southside Wreckers By Jonathon Howard IT’S THE end of the road for Southside Auto Wreckers and the iconic tin man that has stood proudly outside the business every day for more than a decade after owners and locals Janice and John Parkes sold the business at auction recently. While the future of the wrecking yard is yet to be determined, Janice and John have this week reflected on 38 years as the owners of one of only two major wreckers in the Tweed Valley. The sale followed the passing of John and Janice’s son Greg who passed away in June this year following a lengthy battle with cancer. “It has been a very difficult time for us,” Janice said. “Greg had taken over the business and operated it for the past 15 years and after his passing John and I needed to take it back on, which was difficult.” The couple decided to sell the business as the challenges of day-today operations had become a struggle following Greg’s passing. “We really wanted it to keep it going, but it was just too difficult,” Janice said. “We felt this was the best move for us.” Janice and John have a long history in the Tweed Valley having first moved to Murwillumbah in 1976 from Gosford. “We owned and operated The Metro Milk Bar where JuJus is today,” she said. John later spotted a plot of land in 1981 where the South Murwillumbah industrial estate was later established. “It was a swamp at the time and we purchased the site,” John said. The family went on to build the current Southside Auto Wreckers shed and established the wreckers.
John and Janice are looking forward to a well earned break
“John had a lot of experience with buying and selling cars,” Janice said. “The transition from the Milk Bar to the wreckers was a smooth one and the business took off.” For the following three decades John and Janice with their son Greg built Southside Auto Wreckers into a local name. “It was later we introduced the scrap metal sculptures including scrappy and then the tin man,” Janice said. “People always seemed to remember those sculptures which Greg helped build.” Janice said the tin man was stolen from outside the wreckers once. “But John tracked it down and brought him home,” she said. The couple said they have been through a lot with the business, including the passing of Greg and attempting to retire.
“It was the right move for us,” Janice said. “We needed to make this move to ensure we can settle down and have a rest and retire.” John still remains a known local name for his attention to detail and outstanding mechanical skills. “John is still working on restoring old vehicles, which he enjoys and remains connected with a lot of local friends,” Janice said. Although it is unknown whether Southside Auto Wreckers will open again, several locals told The Weekly it could be converted to a scrap metal yard. Murwillumbah Wreckers is now the only major Tweed Valley wreckers located at 15 Lundberg Drive.

Seagulls extend homeless awareness week to a month SEAGULLS AT Tweed Heads South has extended Homelessness Awareness week to the entire month of August to continue fundraising to assist those sleeping rough. The fundraising efforts are also in the lead up to the club’s hosting of the annual Fred’s Place Sleep Out which will take place on Thursday, August 30. “For the entire month of August Seagulls has been dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Fred’s Place Tweed Heads, a champion of local homelessness,” a Seagulls spokesperson said. Fred’s Place provides support services for people who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness and offers laundry facilities, internet, kitchen and socialising areas to people in need. “As a committed supporter of Fred’s Place, Seagulls has established four ways to donate to the cause when you visit the club during the month of August,” the spokesperson said. “Four delicious new meals have been added to Lot Two’s menu, which when purchased will result in a $2 donation for Fred’s Place. “Head to Lakeview or Star Bars and $1 from every glass and $2 from every bottle of Grazer wine will add to the tally, along with 10 cents from every schooner of beer, with more than 13,000 schooners of beer sold each month, that is no chump change. “Club points can also be donated to the fund by speaking with one of our Customer Service Hosts. “In the first week alone over $500 has been raised.” Seagulls is also inviting residents to join them along with locals and local business leaders for the Fred’s Place Sleep out on the banks of the Terranora broadwater on Thursday August 30. “Bring a blanket and rug up, as we spend the night outside,” the Seagulls spokesperson said. Among those joining the sleep out this year is Dr Gregory P Smith, a long-time homeless man who went on to gain a PhD, become a lecturer at Southern Cross University and publish a book ‘Out of the Forest’ about his decade living in the bush near Mullumbimby, which will be the subject of an ABC TV ‘Australian Story’ episode later this month.

A MOBILE locksmith who covers the Northern Rivers has issued a warning to Tweed residents after Tweed Police reported a car was stolen on Tuesday, August 7, and three unlocked cars were broken into at Kingscliff on Thursday, August 9. Michael Manning owner of Imperial Locksmiths said that cars have been broken into to access the garage remote control, which is then used to access the house and car keys. “If people leave cars unlocked in the driveway and leave the remote in the car, thieves can open the car and grab the remote,” Mr Manning told The Weekly. “It’s a matter of keeping cars locked and it’s not a good idea to keep the remote in the car, it’s better to leave it with your keys and inside the house.” Kingscliff resident Nathan McMahon said he had heard of this happening in Kingscliff and Casuarina. “I know two people personally who had their homes accessed by breaking into their cars and using the remote to open the garage door, and then stealing the keys from inside the house, in the kitchen,” Mr McMahon said. “My friend had it happen a few months ago when her husband’s car was stolen.” Mr Manning said that as far as the remote control was concerned it was better to have it with you all the time. “The main thing would be to not leave keys to the house or the garage remote control in car. Mr Manning said that the most common means of entry to gain access to homes apart from force was when former tenants may have had keys cut and the locks hadn’t been changed.
“That’s the only thing that makes sense in a lot of these cases when there has been no forced entry to a home,” Mr Manning said. “It’s really important to change the locks if someone moves into a place and to get the codes to garages changed as well. “It’s not expensive to get that done because we don’t have to change the entire lock we can just change the internal part of the lock and get a different key.” Mr Manning said that the recent spate of thieves entering cars and going through ashtrays which Kingscliff residents reported on social media was more than likely to be thieves looking for cash. On Wednesday August 15 Tweed Byron District Police Command released a statement saying that there were a number of reports received regarding unlocked vehicles being entered around the Kingscliff Hill area on August 9. “Three vehicles were entered but fortunately no property was stolen,” the police report stated. “Police would like to remind the public to make sure they secure their vehicle even when parked in the driveway or garages of their premises.” Police also reported that a Black Holden Astra Reg No CPO43D was stolen from a home in McPhail Ave at Kingscliff on August 7. The vehicle has not been recovered and police investigations continue. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Tweed Heads Police Station on 0755069499 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

It was a very excited school community that gathered at ���S recently to celebrate �duca�on Week. We opened our classrooms and invited friends and family to come along and see for themselves what a rich and diverse learning environment is on offer in our great, local, public school. Students were dressed as their favourite book character as part of the book fair that we ran in conjunc�on with �duca�on Week. They paraded proudly in front of an audience of friends and family members who were also entertained by our dance troupe and choir.
A HEAVY vehicle accident took place on the M1 just south of the Duranbah Tunnel at about 3.30pm on Friday, August 10. Police said the heavy vehicle was being driven south when it approached a left-hand bend in the road and the vehicle continued straight ahead. “The vehicle collided with Brifen fencing between the north and southbound lanes, travelling straight over it,” police said. “The vehicle then crossed over two north bound lanes before crashing through another section of Brifen fence on the western side of the road, down an embankment and through a cane drain before coming to rest in a sugarcane crop.” The driver of the vehicle was released by Police and transported to the Gold Coast University Hospital. Tweed District Rescue Squad crews assisted Paramedics in extricating the patient and transported the patient to an awaiting ambulance. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Tweed Heads Police Station on 0755069499 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

We had some very special guests in our school on the day as well. Grandparents were invited to share in the celebra�ons and many had travelled great distances to visit their grandchildren’s school, meet their friends and teachers and share a picnic lunch in our beau�ful grounds. Naturally our students were thrilled to be hos�ng their grandparents and relished the chance to share their class work and show them around the school. The huge book fair in the library also proved a very popular des�na�on for families who took advantage of the great variety of books on sale to purchase a new book and help raise funds for more resources for our library.

All-new dynamic Corolla awaits buyers at Surf Toyota SPORTING a stylish new design and packed with dynamic performance features, the all-new Toyota Corolla has arrived at Surf Toyota with much fanfare. Adam Hall, general manager of the Tweed Heads South dealership, says he has been involved with Toyota for more than 15 years and it was the most exciting release he’d ever seen. “The best-selling passenger car in Australia, the Corolla is such a popular vehicle with all buyer types, and Toyota has really made some massive improvements on this one. With sportier styling, more power and all sorts of new features, I know it’s going to be a car that sells well,” he says. Mr Hall says the Corolla had traditionally been popular with those aged 25+, but with its bold and distinctive new look, it will now appeal to all drivers, from those wanting a first car to retirees who need to downsize their bigger vehicle. The all-new Corolla hatch features bold exterior styling, an upscale interior, impressive driving dynamics and ride comfort, plus advanced technologies including class-leading safety. There are three grades and seven variants with hybrid technology now available at each level; Ascent Sport, SX and ZR. “One of the biggest changes that Toyota has really focused on is hybrid technology across all new models, and it’s now only $1500 more to get a hybrid engine in the Corolla,” he said. “Interestingly, there’s been a real shift in the past 18 months with people really believing in that technology now and it’s moving into
mainstream markets. And with a trusted manufacturer such as Toyota making it a cost-effective option, this shift towards hybrid technology is set to continue.” Mr Hall said the new Corolla was longer, lower and wider than its predecessor; resulting in a more powerful, prestigious and sophisticated road presence. It also comes with an exciting range of new technologies designed to help drivers stay safe on the road.
“Many of its ground-breaking technologies and class-leading features would normally be found in more expensive, prestige models. For this, and many other reasons, this exciting new car will be the one that lures buyers from other brands.” He urged customers to get in quick to secure their preferred coloured because the dealership had already fielded a lot of phone calls from interested buyers. Priced from $22,870, plus
on-road costs, Mr Hall says Toyota’s new Corolla hatch leapfrogs everything in the affordable small-car segment and set a new benchmark. Visit the team at 64-74 Minjungbal Drive in Tweed Heads South; they’re open from Monday until Saturday or call on 5523 8000. View the car’s specs at surfotyota.com.au.

Murwillumbah drought angels By Jo Kennett
THE DROUGHT-FUNDRAISING effort in Murwillumbah is gathering strength with a meeting at the Murwillumbah Services Club on Wednesday, August 8, to help coordinate the efforts of different groups. The meeting went well according to organiser Tracy Law from Murwillumbah District supporting Drought Angels. “We didn’t have a lot of people but the ones we had were full of enthusiasm and great ideas,” Mrs Law told The Weekly. “The Tweed Valley Four Wheel Drive Club were there. They have a bunch of tradies with trucks who have offered to go out and do work for the farmers. “We’ve got Jess Phillips who works with us at the Roundabout Takeaway helping out with an initiative that has turned her hatred of the Coles Little Shop Mini Collectibles into a fundraising winner.” Ms Phillips saw the collectible plastic toys were being traded to raise funds in other areas and decided to try it in Murwillumbah, with people dropping off money or food for the Drought Angels fund in return for the items. Ms Phillips even has a page dedicated to collectors of the plastic toys to take advantage of the mania surrounding them. “In 24 hours she went from hating them to loving what they could bring to the fundraising table,” Ms Law said. “She’s done a brilliant job with it.” Mrs Law said that Bakers Delight had a full tin of cash donated by customers to collect and so did Coles. “Coles have even put a stand out the front and are matching donations dollar for dollar. and they had a stand out front,” Mrs Law said. “The manager has been wonderful.
“Tickets for our Monster Raffle are available all over town and at the Roundabout Takeaway and that will be drawn on August 31.” IGA have also come on board, collecting IGA vouchers for farming families to spend at regional IGA stores. “They have also donated a pallet of dog food which is at the front of the Tweed Valley IGA,” Mrs Law said. “Customers can write a note to a farmer and IGA will put a dollar for every signature into the next pallet of pet food. “The money will be transferred into IGA gift cards - there are a lot of IGA stores out there so that will help keep the money in rural towns.” The Tweed Valley IGA will also be holding a fundraising BBQ on Friday, August 31 between 10am and 4pm and Saturday September 1 from 9am - 2pm. Mrs Law said that Joey's Pouch Early Years Educational and Preschool Centre were doing Dress as a Farmer Week and that Stone and Wood were also coming on board “We will have a formal meeting with them soon,” she said. “We are still selling the beautiful avocados that Kevin and Leanne Thomason are donating at the Roundabout Takeaway and the Murwillumbah Flower Shed is doing Buy a Bale fundraising. “We also voted unanimously at the meeting to look into adopting a town like a sister city project so we would welcome ideas from the community about that.” Mrs Law said there had been a lot of work involved and it had pretty well become a full-time job for her team.

It’s not too late to get a flu shot:
People over 65 at higher risk of flu complications THIS WINTER North Coast Primary Health Network (NCPHN), in partnership with the Northern NSW Local Health District, is working to reduce the likelihood of community members being hospitalised as a result of the influenza virus. People aged 65 and over can be severely impacted by influenza and NCPHN’s Clinical Adviser Dr Dan Ewald is keen to emphasise the importance of getting a flu vaccination. “Getting a flu vaccination each year is the best way of preventing the flu,” he said. “If you haven’t had a flu shot this year, contact your doctor about receiving one. A free flu shot is available for those aged 65 and over. “Even people who are relatively healthy and who rarely get sick are advised to get vaccinated. “Getting vaccinated against the flu helps to protect others in the community including those who are at greater risk of influenza complications, such as young children, the elderly and those with medical conditions.
“If you don’t catch the flu, you can’t pass it on to others.” What to do when you do get the flu Everyone in the community can help to stop the spread of the flu virus. Here’s what to do if you come down with the flu: 1. Stay home, don’t go out into the community and spread it around. 2. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them getting sick too. 3. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. Cough into your elbow if necessary. The flu virus is spread mainly by droplets made when people with the flu cough or sneeze. 4. Wash your hands often to help avoid the spread of germs. 5. Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with the flu virus to help slow the spread of influenza. For more information about getting a flu shot, contact your doctor or go to: www. ncphn.org.au/stop-flu
WHEN YOU’RE OVER 65
WINTER IS NOT TO BE SNEEZED AT
If you’re over 65, getting the flu can lead to serious problems. This year, a stronger flu shot is available to provide better protection for people aged 65 years and over.
Wash your hands properly

2014 Murwillumbah Showgirl contestants
Showgirl finals set for Murwillumbah MURWILLUMBAH SHOW Society is proud to announce the hosting of The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl Competition Zone 1 Finals in March 2019. Murwillumbah is zone one of seven zones which includes Alstonville, B a n g a l o w, B o n a l b o , C a s i n o , Grafton, Kyogle, Lismore, Maclean, Mullumbimby, Murwillumbah, Nimbin and Woodenbong. T h e w i n n e r o f t h i s y e a r ’s Murwillumbah Showgirl competition will have the advantage of having the zone finals here in Murwillumbah. Murwillumbah Showgirl coordinator Erin Duffy said the competition aims to find a young female ambassador for rural NSW and the agricultural show movement. “The winning showgirl of each local Show Society is selected by a panel of three judges and remains Showgirl until the next year’s show,” Mrs Duffy said.
“Her role involves many official and informal duties locally, nationally and overseas, such as opening a show, public speaking throughout the year and presenting prizes for winners in agricultural events.” M r s D u ff y s a i d t h e S h ow g i rl Competition is “definitely not a beauty pageant”. “Entrants must have a genuine interest in, and knowledge of, rural NSW,” she said. “The competition encourages the participation and awareness of issues faced by women in rural NSW. “Contestants are judged on personality, confidence, ambition and life goals, general knowledge, rural knowledge, presentation and speech. “Finalists must also demonstrate knowledge of their local community and current affairs. In addition to their potential ambassadorial qualities, contestants are also judged on their
involvement in and experience of rural affairs.” Mrs Duffy said contestants today continue to be young rural women with purpose and ambition. “The competition also plays a significant role in the overall development of rural youth, attracting strong support from entrants, sponsors and organisers,” Ms Duffy said. 2019 marked the 57th Anniversary of The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl Competition. Over 500 young women enter the competition annually throughout NSW, with competitions run by around 120 show societies. All Showgirl State Finalists past and present will be honoured at a cocktail function for the 2019 Sydney Royal Easter Show. There is also overall prize money $7,000 for first place $3,500 runner-up and $2,000 second runner-up.
THE CONDONG Mill area has now completed approximately 36 per cent of the sugar cane harvest for this season. This equates to 191,000 tonnes of cane. Last week, which was week eight of the harvest, the mill crushed 25,579 tonnes of cane and the sugar content of the cane during that week reached 12.07CCS which is well above budget for this time of the year. The growers are now very busy preparing fallow ground, ready for planting and the fields that have been cut already and ratooned, are growing well. Agricultural lime, mill mud and ash are often applied as soil conditioners to fields that are to be planted and ratooned. With warm days the soil temperature is rising and during August planting will commence, if soil moisture is sufficient. The continuing drought conditions in most of New South Wales are very serious and are having a significant impact on rural communities. Several NSW sugar growers have had the cane ‘trash’, which includes cane tops and leaf residue, baled and sent to the drought areas to assist with drought relief. Arrangements are being made for much more baling to be done in coming weeks. The cane hay has little nutritional value but is good roughage and can be mixed with other feed. Apparently, it is the role of numerous charities, community groups, service clubs and many motivated individuals to make the greatest contributions to the relief effort. They are all to be commended for their dedication and care for those in need. Let’s hope this drought will end soon. Rural producers in the Northern Rivers of NSW are fortunate to be farming in a good rainfall area and with highly fertile soil. Bye for now, Rob Hawken.

TWEED VALLEY BANANA FESTIVAL
Banana Festival to make long-awaited return THE ICONIC Tweed Valley Banana Festival will make its long-awaited return on Friday and Saturday, August 24 and 25, with residents and organisers eager to relaunch one of the longest running regional festivals in Australia. Apex Club of Murwillumbah members have been busy putting the final touches on the event which will feature a Gala Dinner at the Murwillumbah Services Club on Saturday, August 18. Among the big events planned for this year is the Friday Night Down the Street event on Friday, August 24, followed by the street parade and main day on Saturday, August 25. Tweed Valley Banana Festival coordinator Carol Mudge said the event’s full return this year will mark a new era for the festival with Apex Club of Murwillumbah at the helm. “We are so excited to bring the iconic Banana Festival back to the Tweed Valley,” Ms Mudge said. “We’d like to invite the entire Tweed Shire to come and join in the family fun throughout the weekend and to bring their
friends and family from outside the shire.” Ms Mudge said the 2018 festival was hoped to set a standard for the event for years to come. “This is the first year we have the full complement of activities back for the community to enjoy as the festival had done for decades in the past,” she said. Carol said there would be plenty of surprises for the street parade. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” she said. “There’ll be some new floats and old combining to make it a great parade and event. “We just hope to see the town packed with locals and visitors enjoying our unique local businesses and loving the Tweed.” The Weekly team is proud to be working alongside the Tweed Valley Banana Festival as a sponsor and event promoter for years to come and have this week relaunched the dedicated Banana Festival Feature to acknowledge the local sponsors and provide the event guide.

Tianna sets her sights on queen title
BCU Murwillumbah
What is your favourite thing you are most looking forward to at the Tweed Valley Banana Festival? The staff at BCU agree that the best part of the festival is the parade and enjoying all the community out lining the street showing their support.
“Becoming Banana Queen means that I’ve succeeded in my journey of learning about the Tweed Valley, conquering my fears of public speaking and making new friends,” she said. “I have been doing some fundraising with the help of my grandfather, Tom Senti, who has been donating his mandarins and lemons which he grows and allows me to sell them at the Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central’s sausage sizzle on Saturday mornings. “All money from sales are donated, nothing is kept for cost or labour/time.”
THIS WEEK’S Tweed Valley Banana Festival Queen entrant is Tianna Senti who has her sights firmly set on the title and has been busy fundraising and engaging with the community. Tianna, 19, is one of five entrants vying for the coveted Banana Queen title this year, with the crowning to take place Saturday, August 25. Tianna said she has lived in the Tweed Shire her entire life and attended Lindisfarne Anglican School where she graduated year 12 last year. “I received entry into QUT in Brisbane for the coming year (2019), where I will be studying a degree in teaching majoring in performing arts (dance) and creative arts (art and textiles),” she said. Tianna currently works a few few jobs including at the Wollumbin Street Bakery as well as teaching dance to younger dancers at Madelaine Ireland Dance Academy in Chinderah. But Tianna is also a budding young entrepreneur and in the last six months she has started her own business called Dazzle Me Dancewear and Costuming. “This is my passion, whenever I’m not busy you will find me in my sewing room at one of three machines working till all hours of the night,” she said. “It has been a great success, in the last six months so far I have shipped all over Australia and more recently to America. “I’m also very excited that in October I will be flying down to Sydney to do a four-day workshop on tutu sewing and tiara making with some of the best in the industry.” Tianna said she also enjoys animals, cooking and spending time with family and friends. She said becoming Banana Queen would mean the world to her.

Vietnam veteran to receive Gallantry Award By Jonathon Howard Please note this is part one of a two part special feature story with the final (part two) of the story printed in next week’s edition.
BURRINGBAR RESIDENT and Vietnam Veteran Bernard “Bernie” Fisher will reunite with several fellow Vietnam veterans and members of the Royal Australian Navy Helicopter Flight Vietnam (RANHFV) this week in Canberra where the unit will be presented with the Unit Citation for Gallantry by the Governor General Sir Peter Cosgrove in the lead up to Vietnam Veterans Day on Saturday, August 18. The award follows many decades of reflection on the Vietnam War for Mr Fisher and as Australians begin to embrace Vietnam veterans and acknowledge the sacrifices many young Aussies made throughout the
Vietnam veteran Bernard “Bernie” Fisher with his trusty service beret
conflict alongside their American allies The Unit Citation for Galantry comes after almost 43 years since the end of the Vietnam War in which an estimated 60,000 Australian soldiers served with 521 killed and more than 3,000 wounded. Mr Fisher has an extraordinary story to tell both from his career as a pilot and from his service during the Vietnam War from October 1969 to October 1970. Initially a helicopter Crew Chief and helicopter door gunner, Mr Fisher would, after his military service, become a helicopter pilot as one of only a few Australians that served alongside US troops. “Our unit was known as the Experimental Military Unit (EMU) under the Royal Australian Navy Vietnam (RANV) as part of the US Army 135th Assault Helicopter Company,” he said. “It was a unique battle unit as command of the RANHFV was vested in the ‘Commander Australian Forces Vietnam’ in Saigon. “However, the RANHFV was, in fact and by its distance from higher Australian command, fully separate and was bereft of any form of effective operational command from any other Australian commander in Vietnam or Australia. “The direction of the aircraft in the immediate tactical sense on the battle ground was affected by the US Army’s 7th and 9th Infantry Division battalion commanders and the very many South Vietnamese battalions and other forces at whose
direction and for whom we went into hostile and dangerous actions daily. “The Chief of Naval Staff Directive had no specific instruction on the Australian rules of engagement (ROE) and the only meaning here was that we were to confirm orders between the RAN ‘Military Working Arrangement Committee and the US Military Assistance Command Vietnam which, in practicalities seemed a very ‘wishy washy’ arrangement and very difficult to work with. “The RAAF and Australian Army however, had quite specific ROE and Australian commanders were on scene to see they were observed but these were not applied to us.” Mr Fisher said and went on to point out that the differences between the RANHFV and the RAAF, notably 9 Squadron, was that the use of 9 Squadron’s aircraft in airlift operation was to be limited to staging areas which were relatively secure, and free from expected enemy resistance. “But as the RANHFV unit was not constrained by such orders it quickly became apparent to the US officers that their Aussie chopper pilots and aircrew were extremely valuable for use within the US 135th,” he said. Australian Naval aircrew including Mr Fisher would find themselves flying Huey (Bell UH-1) choppers in and out of combat areas where death was extremely close. Mr Fisher said it did not take long before he was maintaining as well as flying operations across Vietnam, including across the heavily entrenched Delta region where much
of the engagement with the Viet Cong took place During Mr Fisher’s thousands of hours of maintaining and flying “Huey” helicopters in and out of war zones, as well as carrying the burden of war as a returning soldier, he also developed a passion for flying that he would later use in adventurous roles all over the world. “I ended up flying throughout the Arabian Gulf and Iran for mining projects after I left the military,” he said. “Followed by flying rescue, ambulance and firefighting choppers throughout many countries along with a range of other aircraft in commercial airline roles.” A gifted technician and pilot, Mr Fisher signed up with the RAN in 1966 initially as a radar operator and Ships Diver serving in the
destroyer HMAS Vampire for two years to the Strategic Reserve in Singapore. Two years later however, Mr Fisher was one of only a handful of Australian aircrew who would experience the terrible reality of war from the controls of the iconic Huey helicopter, being used to deploy and retrieve a majority of soldiers in conflict areas whilst attached with the US Army. “The fact is there was a lot of chaos and disruption around us every day,” he said. “But through our training as soldiers we remained focused on the task at hand and while I can still remember how that fear felt, we knew we had a job to do and our training kept us focused. The unit motto is ‘Get the Bloody Job Done’, and we did.” Read part two in next week’s edition.

WHAT A week at the foot of the mountains! Griffin gone, Cleary in, Cleary out, Ciraldo in, Wayne’s heading west, no he’s not Barrett is. What a circus. I think Griffin was hard done by and it’s a costly exercise for the Panthers who have sacked their third coach in four years. I do hope Ivan stays at the Tigers to give us hope that people will honour contracts, because at the moment they aren’t worth the paper they are written on. The coaching round-a-bout is definitely in full swing and makes for compelling viewing and unfortunately has taken the gloss of some quality football that has been played. The Broncos and Cowboys tossed up another beauty on the weekend, the Broncos are killing me and Kev Twohill hasn’t missed on the texts this week, but they are not playing like a semi final bound team at the moment and I’m hoping they can turn things around. The team that does need to turn things around are the Dragons, they are in plenty of barney rubble. It looks to me very much like a three horse race in Roosters, Souths and Storm.

The Storm have lost a couple on the bounce but they are going good enough to feature. The Tigers are holding onto a slim top 8 chance but the Broncos have a tough run. The Panthers on their day are good enough but will the coaching change do the job. The spoon battle is just as intriguing with three teams on 14 but another two teams on 16. The NRRRL competition heads into the semi’s this weekend. Tweed Coast who have only dropped one match finished minor premiers after their 24-4 demolition of neighbours Cudgen in front of a huge crowd. The loss saw Cudgen drop to third and with the tough task of heading to Ballina to play the Seagulls. Murwillumbah have snavelled fourth and will host the elimination finals on Saturday at Sir Stan Sercombe Oval. The stangs reggies snuck into the semi’s and will take on the Turkeys and the ladies will host Tweed Coast in the league tag. Marist Brothers and Lower will face off in the u/18’s. Big shout out to the few new readers in Banora including ‘Andre le Champ’ who is an avid follower of the article. Big weekend of entertainment on the fields around the Tweed this weekend. See you at the footy, Quinny

IDEAL HOME
The fans of actor Steve Coogan’s ability to push his vanity into borderline insanity will enjoy the new comedy Ideal Home, where Coogan stars as Erasmus, a delusional and pompous celebrity chef of a Santa Fe’s cable television food show directed by his longtime partner Paul. The two men have been together for ten years, often bickering while leading an extravagant life in a big ranch house, and it is obvious that their relationship has seen better days. Their lifestyle is suddenly disrupted at a dinner party by the arrival of Bill, a grandson that Erasmus didn’t even know he had – Bill’s widowed father Beau, the estranged offspring from an “experiment” with a woman that Erasmus had many years earlier, has been arrested for drug dealing. So the kid must either stay with his grandfather Erasmus, or enter foster care. Erasmus and Paul reluctantly decide to take Bill in. Their struggle to adjust to pseudo-fatherhood offers the opportunity for several predictable narrative cliches, including the arrival of a social worker to investigate the situation. However, despite the difficulties of incorporating a child into their lives, they end up establishing a deep bond with Bill.
When Bill’s father is released from prison and comes to take back his son, it will not be difficult for audiences to guess that Erasmus and Paul have found themselves transformed by their newfound parental responsibilities and that their relationship has become stronger as a result.

Some viewers may feel that the principal characters are a bit of a stereotype, although the fun in the film comes exactly from the amusing interactions between the two protagonists. This is a good-hearted film whose positive message about same-sex parenting is emphasized in the end credits sequence, featuring photos of numerous real-life examples.

TWELVE NORTH coast ceramic artists and potters including several from the Tweed Shire will open their studios to the public for the North Coast Mud Trail on Saturday and Sunday August 18 and August 19. Part of the Australian Ceramics Association’s national Open Studios program, the North Coast Mud Trail features local ceramic artists and potters from Fernleigh in the south to Tweed Heads in the north. The North Coast Mud Trail provides a rare opportunity for art lovers, adventurers, locals and visitors alike to step inside the creative workshops of leading regional artists. North Coast ceramic artist Suvira McDonald said the Northern Rivers region is home to a vibrant community of creative talent, with traditional and contemporary ceramic artists and potters at the forefront. “This is a great opportunity to step inside the studios of local potters, to meet the artists in person and experience first-hand their unique creative processes,” Suvira said.
“Once a year our artists open their spaces to the public for one weekend only, giving visitors a unique opportunity to see demonstrations, hear artists’ talks, participate in workshops, learn about their techniques, and purchase ceramics directly from the artists. “Many hundreds of beautiful original hand-made artworks have been made featuring multiple methods and diverse finishes, as varied as the potters themselves.” People who want to head out on the North Coast Mud Trail can pick up a mud trail map at local cafes, galleries and artists’ supply shops, or check out the North Coast Mud Trail web page www. northcoastmudtrail.com.au Suvira said the mud trail map makes it easy for people to plan a day trip or even a weekend getaway that allows them to meet our talented ceramic artists and potters and enjoy the beautiful Northern Rivers hinterland.

THE FINAL Miss Tweed Ball took place on Saturday, August 11, at the Murwillumbah Catholic Hall. It was the 47th Miss Tweed since the series started in 1972 in the Tweed Valley. Public Officer Robyn Lemaire has provided The Weekly readers with regular updates on the Ball Series this year. “The Murwillumbah Catholic Hall was decorated for a fine evening of dance and socialising,” she said. “Judges on the night were Margaret Peate and Amanda Budd of Murwillumbah School of Dance, the winners were: • Miss Tweed: Lucy Bremner • Tiny Tot Miss: Alyssa Coates • Tiny Tot Beau: James Gresham • Junior Miss: Lillian Grant • Junior Beau is Adin Rogers • Matron: Denise Van Bael • Senior Beau: Damian Dundon “Each of the Miss contestants walked away with a trophy from each of their winning Halls,” she said. “The Miss, Tiny Tot and Junior title holders have a tiara (from Andersons Jewellers) to wear with their purple sash, to lead off the competition next year.
“The running trophy will have Lucy Bremner added for 2018. “Each of the title winners received gifts. There were donations from Andersons Jewellers of Murwillumbah, and Halcyon Crystals – handcrafted sun catchers and jewellery, in the Illusive Wood Designs Showroom Uki. “We would also like to acknowledge the assistance from KB’s Trophies, Murwillumbah Signs, Tweed Valley Weekly, Daily News, the ladies in the kitchens, the band, volunteers, and all the participants who made this Series possible.” Mrs Lemaire said the 2018 Tweed Ball Series may have ended, but there is a Summer Dance Season that runs at the Bilambil Hall every month on the second Saturday, and at the Tumbulgum Hall on every third Saturday. “The next dance will be at Tumbulgum on Saturday, August 18, from 8pm,” she said. “Thank you for your support throughout the Series 2018. “I hope to organise something next year to establish an opportunity for the winners to get their photo in the paper, for each hall.”

THE TWEED Palliative Support second hand store on Queen Street is hosting a special Farmer’s Friday Hay Bale Sale, August 17, with all proceeds going to support drought-stricken farmers across NSW. As forecasts for rain remain a long way off, Tweed Shire residents are being encouraged to give where they can across a range of fundraisers including the Hay Bale Sale at Tweed Palliative Support. Tweed Palliative Support president Meredith Dennis said it was an important cause and hoped the Tweed Shire community would continue to give where they can. “This is set to be one of the worst droughts on record,” she said. “There’s already so many people helping out and the Tweed Palliative Support team wanted to get involved so we can help raise as much as possible.” The event will include a sausage sizzle courtesy of the Lions Club of Murwillumbah Central, raffles, entertainment, cake stalls and so much more.

Caitlin Ambrose farewelled
By Jo Kennett THE CROWD overflowed at the memorial service for Caitlin Ambrose at Melaleuca Station on Friday August 10, as Caitlin’s many friends and loved ones gathered to pay their respects to the singular young lady who had fought for her life but never lost her smile, her humour and her love of life. Caitlin passed away on Wednesday, August 1, at home surrounded by her loved ones. Her sister Tia spoke at the service on behalf of herself and Caitlin’s brother Dale, describing how close the sisters were, the plans they had made for the future and how much she and her brother loved and admired Caitlin. A group of Caitlin’s friends from Lindisfarne College, where Caitlin went to school, told stories of how Caitlin’s lactose intolerance was no impediment to her love of cheese and chocolate. They spoke of her legendary eye roll if they did anything silly and how she would call them a silly duffer when they did. They talked of her contradictions, the fear of unlikely things like ghosts and her fearlessness with parachuting and diving with sharks. They spoke of their shared love of trashy TV, best served in your PJs, laughing, and how even in her darkest hours she was always concerned with how they were going. A friend from Deakin University in Geelong, where Caitlin went to study midwifery despite knowing no one, talked of how she had bonded with Caitlin and ended up sharing an apartment with her. The friend wasn’t much on washing up and told how Caitlin had once put her dirty dishes on her bed. Caitlin wasn’t perfect

either, being a food thief of some note. The laughter flowed through the chapel and out onto the verandah as she described drunken nights and bad behaviour, the usual trials and tribulations of growing up and working towards a career, memories all the more poignant now. The principal of Lindisfarne College, Mr Stuart Marquardt, spoke on behalf of Caitlin’s parents with a speech Gary and Mellissa Ambrose had prepared for the service. They talked of Caitlin’s life, her loves, her wonderful sense of humour, her bravery in the face of the worst that life could throw at her and of the love and support that surrounded her. There were stories, tears and laughter in what was a fitting send-off to the beautiful young woman with the ever-present smile who inspired all who knew her to cherish the small things, to have more fun, to love harder and to live life to the fullest. Caitlin Ambrose brought out the best in a community and for that we should be eternally grateful.
Japanese students visit Tweed By Jonathon Howard STUDENTS FROM Tweed Valley Adventist College in Murwillumbah have been busy helping a group of Japanese exchange students to discover the wonders of Aussie life in the Tweed Shire this month. The students are on exchange from Seibudi High School near Tokyo and are experiencing Australian culture through school life and their buddy year eight student’s host families, as well as taking field trips and experiencing the great outdoors. It’s the fifth year of the Japanese student program for Tweed Valley Adventist College, which seeks to provide students with a cultural exchange and to broaden each of the student’s horizons. Student exchange organiser and Tweed-Byron Farmstay and Education representative Anni Taylor said the students have provided outstanding feedback during their time in Australia. The students have been staying with host families from Murwillumbah and have been helped by their student buddies, as
the program has developed into a highly valued cultural exchange. “It’s been a great experience for the Japanese students and the local students,” Anni said. “The program has been running for five years and has been a huge success.” The Weekly spoke with several Japanese students and asked what some of their favourite things were about visiting Australia. “The green and open spaces, and the beaches,” said one student. “The people are so friendly and the outdoors,” said another student. Tweed Valley Adventist College Japanese teacher Micah Roberts said the program could soon take Tweed students to Japan. “We’re working on a way to get Australian students over to Japan in the near future, as we’ve not had a program set up as yet,” Micah said. When asked which students were the best behaved, the Aussie or Japanese students, both Anni and Micah said both were equally on their best behaviour.

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately? Ever Heard of a Sacrificial Anode?
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

Fresh round of Stronger Communities Grant F E D E R A L M E M B E R fo r Richmond Justine Elliot is encouraging local councils, community groups, sporting clubs, and other non-profit organisations to consider applying for Round Four funding under the Commonwealth’s Stronger Communities Grant Programme. “Our local Stronger Communities Programme will deliver funding across the Richmond electorate through small capital grants for projects that will contribute to the vibrancy and viability of our region,” Justine said. “Applicants will be able to apply for funding from $2,500 up to a maximum of $20,000, but will need to provide matching or in-kind funding to be eligible. “I look forward to working with local community groups to ensure we secure important funding for local organisations and I encourage organisations interested in applying for funding to contact my office on (07) 5523 4371 to discuss projects.” Examples of potential eligible projects that organisations may wish to seek funding for under this
programme could include sporting facility modernisation, kitchen upgrades, and equipment purchases such as computers, furniture and fittings. Final applications will be assessed against the Programme Guidelines by the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science. The Stronger Communities Programme provides each of the 150 federal electorates with $150,000 to fund small capital projects that improve local community participation and contribute to vibrant viable communities. In consultation with their community, each Federal Member of Parliament must identify potential applicants and projects in their electorate and invite them to apply for a grant. Applications close on October 11 2018, at 5pm. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the Programme Guidelines and the Frequently Asked Questions, available on the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science’s website -https:// www.business.gov.au/assistance/ stronger-communities-programme

Holding with Shot Judy Tuckey THE RECENT Zone One Champion of Club Champions Singles and Pairs Championships at Ballina provided a grand day of top quality bowls from all contenders. Pottsville’s father and son combo, Paul and Darcy Earl, booked their berth in the State finals with their 24-13 win over Casino RSM’s Jamie Eichorn and David Zorzo in the Pairs Championships play offs. Whilst Pottsville opened the card with a double, Casino then took over and were sitting on 12-4 up after 8 ends. The Earl duo, fighting back strongly, collected 6 shots over the next four ends but then conceded a single on the 13th. All fired up and hot to trot, the Pottsville lads knuckled down to keep their opposition scoreless as they dominated for the remainder of the game, including a count of 5 on the 17th end and again on the 19th when Casino subsequently conceded and the teams shook
Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals hands. Way to go, Potty boys. Condong’s Jeff (Fruity) McDonald was challenging Ballina’s Kris Lehfeldt in the Singles final. In the opening half of the contest, the lads were locked in a tight tussle before Lehfeldt began to edge ahead and take full control. With the score on 30-17 in his favour, Lehfeldt attempted to pick up the one shot required to close the game. However, as fate would have it, his last bowl went feral to gift Jeff a count of four and a chance to resurrect his position. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen as Kris then collected a single on the next end to claim victory and a berth in the State finals. State finals, for both the Singles and Pairs C of CC Championships, are scheduled to be conducted at Ballina in October and we wish these fine bowlers every success at that level. BNSW State Pennant finals are on the agenda will commence Friday 17 August. Kingscliff’s Grade 1 is playing at Engadine; Ocean Shores’ Grade 2 will be at Lidcombe with the final at Mt. Lewis; Nelsons Bay is the venue for Burringbar’s Grade

Pottsville hosts State bowling Final Playoffs POTTSVILLE BEACH Sports Club will be on show for the whole of the NSW bowling fraternity over the next few days, hosting the NSW Grade 4 State Pennant Final Playoffs in conjunction with Ocean Shores Country Club. Club Secretary Manager Michael Judd assisted in the successful tender to the NSW State Bowls Association to hold the event at Pottsville, bringing over 120 competitors plus their supporters to the Pottsville club and township. The Pottsville Beach Bowls Club will be hosting players from the eight regions of the state including clubs from small townships like Gulgong in the west, to the big city clubs of Cabra-Vale Diggers.
“The spin-off for Pottsville will be huge over the weekend, with all the motel and holiday park accommodation fully booked,” Mr Judd said. “As a community-based club it’s our pleasure to support the businesses of Pottsville and surrounds whenever and wherever we can, and this is why it’s so important for us to ensure we host these events at Pottsville Sports Club”. The bowling action will kick off on Friday afternoon at 1pm and continues through until Saturday afternoon at Pottsville, before moving to Ocean Shores Country Club on Sunday for the Grand Final. The members will be working hard to make all visitors and locals welcome and want the public to “come along and enjoy the games and give the players a good Potty-style cheer.”

Piper and Zahli Off to World Titles
WELL THE sisters of the Tweed Coast are doing us proud with teenage sensations Piper Harrison and Zahli Kelly both selected in the Australian Team for the ISA World Junior Titles. Held at Huntington Beach in California, the venue of the US Open, Piper and Zahli are in training for the event which runs from October 27 to November 4. The ISA World Junior Surfing Championship is the largest junior Surfing competition in the world, with the 2017 edition in Hyuga, Japan hosting 306 surfers from a record-breaking 41 nations across all continents of the globe. Previous editions of the event were held in Azores, Portugal (2016), Oceanside, California, USA, (2015) and Salinas, Ecuador (2014). The Surfing Australia High Performance Centre will be the training ground for the team, and preparations are well underway.

Both girls have talent and plenty of experience at a very young age and will do Australia and the Gold and Tweed Coast proud. Hopefully there will be some swell at Huntington, and the girls do not have to resort to the “Huntington Hop”, the bounce you have to do in the average beach break conditions often found at this iconic US venue. That is why the preparation and training at the High Performance Centre will be ideal. The 2018 event will make history as the first edition to feature gender equality, offering equal slots for boys and girls on each team. Each country will be able to field up to three boys and three girls in U-16 and U-18 Divisions – a maximum of twelve athletes per team – highlighting the ISA’s dedication to promoting gender equality across all disciplines of Surfing. Australia Surf Festival Heats Up Outstanding conditions were on hand for the first elimination rounds in ten longboard divisions on Tuesday at the 2018 Australian Surf Festival at Cabarita Point. The Longboarders have had first crack at the waves of the Tweed Coast with organisers making the most of conditions on hand for each division. The event runs here on the Tweed Coast up until August 28th wrapping up with the Australian Bodyboard Titles. Longboard rounds were completed on Monday and Tuesday, with divisions for all ages being surfed. From the Over 70’s to the Open in Men’s and women, there will be some great surfing going down. Shortboarders will also be surfing next week, with Kingscliff local Mitch James in the mix to bring home a local title. Here is the program for the festival, checkout the Surfing Australia Website for updates and venue information. Go Check it out!

Round one and two have been surfed, and some interesting results have seen title contender, Julian Wilson eliminated in round two, with his rival and ratings leader Filipe Toledo progressing direct to round three. Toledo has been in Tahiti for two weeks before the event, after in the past not even catching a wave in a heat. He has turned that around, but it will be seen how he goes if it gets solid, and by the look of the southern ocean we may get to see that. Also, Parko is looking in fine form beating Wilson in round one and going direct to round three. When the waves are good, Parko’s surfing never gets old. Shame he is going to retire, but like Mick Fanning, it is better to call it a day when you are still ripping instead of hanging on by your fingernails, and succumbing to injuries. Maybe, just maybe, a Mr Robert Kelly Slater should have made that decision a couple of years ago. But who knows maybe he can get back to full fitness and prove me wrong. Slater is not fit for this event, but I would nearly put my house on the fact he will be back for the wave pool event. Lets just see. Catch you in the waves.

Tweed Coast Raiders are hot favourites to win NRRRL Grand Final
MINOR PREMIERS Tweed Coast Raiders had a resounding 24-4 victory against second-placed Cudgen Hornets, the Raiders first win in three years at Ned Byrne Oval on Sunday, August 12. A huge crowd turned out for the final round of the season and the game started with strong defence from both sides before Raiders skipper Drew Lanston went over, backing it up with another try with 14 minutes to half-time. Cory Blair made it a hat trick from the Raiders in the first half then Tahne Robinson scored a great try five minutes into the second half before the Hornets came back with a try from Connah Mills to take it to 18-4. Cory Blair crossed with a final try for the Raiders taking it to 24-4. The loss relegates Cudgen to third place meaning they lose the home ground advantage in the first semi-final against Ballina Seagulls, while the Raiders get a week off to recover. Players ratings for the Raiders: 1. Guy “Fridge” Lanston- moved back to his preferred position at the back and dominated from start to finish 8/10 2. Darryl “Angry” Brooks- Played well above his weight making some strong kick returns 7.5/10 3. Jack “the Fox” O’Brien- marked up against another speedster in Shannon Walker and was able to limit his oppositions attack with some strong defence 7/10 4. Jimmy Armstrong- played like a second rower out wide, he had some damaging runs and set up a try 7/10
5. Justin King- was very busy and went looking for the ball to help get his team off his line 7.5/10 6. Drew “General” Lanston- the General scored two tries and couldn’t put a foot wrong, man of the match 9/10 7. Tahne Robinson- had a strong kicking game and found himself with a long distance try early in the second half 8/10 8. Luke Campbell- the leader of the forward pack, Campbell ran for over 150 metres 8/10 9. Dan “Action Man” Willoughby- Played his usual 80 minutes and one of the toughest men out there each week, reminiscent of a young Geoff Toovey 8.5/10 10. Daniel “Rocket” Ross- a true journeyman of positions, he started the year at wing, then to fullback, to centre and has now found a home in the front row 8/10 11. Kalani “wow” Hensby- set up his halfback for a great long range try through some great hole running 7.5/10 12. Cory “yew” Blair- the veteran crossed for a double and was dominant from start to finish 8/10 13. Jamie “Ball & All” Donaldson- has had one of his best seasons ever in the green jersey, churning out another methodical performance 8/10 14. Luke Toon- his new haircut has him moving faster than ever, making plenty of metres through the middle 7/10 15. Cale Rowston- fitness is his only issue, only managed 15 minutes each half 8.5/10 16. Connor Hickey- made plenty of impact off the bench 7.5/10
17. Chris Cameron- was very busy when he entered the game, a very tough player who can play anywhere in the forwards 7/10 The eight-placed Raiders Reserve Grade side decided to go out with a bang, pulling off a 19-18 victory over secondplaced Hornets. Second-placed Cudgen Under 18s had a 34-10 victory over third-placed Raiders, to see both teams into the finals next week. The Under 18s lost 34-10 in their final game of the season. The Raiderettes are in the elimination final against the Mustangs girls in Murwillumbah at 10.45 on Saturday, August 18.
Magpies forced to forfeit Barbarians find form
IN WHAT was a disappointing end to the season, the Lower Clarence Magpies were forced to forfeit to the Mustangs A Grade side half an hour before the game started on Saturday, August 11, because they couldn’t field a side as a number of players were out with injuries. The Magpies have had a really tough year with injuries, but Mustangs fans were pleased that the other teams showed up to play the lower grades. Mustangs Reserve Grade coach Scott Vickery said that after a tough first half against the Magpies “the Reggie’s took out the whip in the second stanza and galloped into the semi-finals winning 70-16.” “Greater ball control and a rampaging Bobcat saw the Stangs book a place in Saturday’s home semi against the Turkeys,” Vickery said. Mustangs Reserve Grade now face the elimination final against Kyogle at Murwillumbah at 1.15pm on Saturday, August 18. The Mustangs Under 18s side lost 34-16 in their last game of the season, finishing 7th. The Mustangs ladies had the “prime time 6.30pm kick off in front of a decent crowd”. Coach Nick Forrester said the ladies didn’t disappoint, “starting the game on fire with two tries in the first five minutes.”
“The Lower (Clarence) girls had some talented players and they fought their way back into the match leaving the scores 8-4 our way at half time,” Forrester said. “We had a good chat about some specific things and played a really solid second half, running away winners 20-4. A great lead into finals this week.” Points for best on field for the Mustangs went to Lisa Hourn with three, Zoe Underwood with two and Alex Field, Chloe Saddler and Jamie O’Grady (pictured below) with one. The victory over Lower Clarence sees the ladies into the elimination finals against the Tweed Coast Raiderettes at Murwillumbah at 10.45 Saturday, August 18. Mustangs A Grade will play Mullumbimby in the elimination final at Stan Sercombe Oval on Saturday, August 18, at 2.45pm
Between the Flags
Cudgen Headland SLSC - Keith Kennedy THE PRESIDENTS of the 18 Clubs of the Far North Coast and North Coast Branches met with the National President, Graham Ford and the National C.E.O. Adam Weir at Yamba last Saturday along with members of the outgoing Board of Directors of the North Coast Helicopter Service and were briefed on the funding distribution agreement between the Association and the Northern N.S.W. Service which was recently settled out of Court. The F.N.C. Branch building at Ballina Shelly Beach has received a boost after the N.S.W. Government last week announced a grant of $98,000 for the facility. Emergency Service Minister, Troy Grant and Parliamentary Secretary for Northern N.S.W. met with the Branch Executive and volunteers last week to announce the news. “The Clubhouse will provide Shelly Beach lifesavers with a place to train volunteer lifesavers, store lifesaving equipment, hold meetings and provide shelter for on and off duty lifeguards,” Mr Franklin said. “Its an investment in more than bricks and mortar; this facility will create a community hub for the Far North Coast where
THE CASUARINA Beach Barbarians continued their strong run in the Far North Coast Rugby Union with a 27-23 victory against Bangalow at Bangalow on Saturday, August 11. Reserve Grade also backed up the preceding weeks win with another victory, 20-5 against Bangalow. Head coach of Casuarina Beach Adam Leach said the Barbarians have enjoyed a very successful run in the last few rounds of the season. “The last week has seen both grades win away from home,” Leach told The Weekly. “It’s been a great finish to the year. We have endured a tough few weeks during the middle of the season with a number of injuries and players unavailable. “It’s has been great for the club to get some very good wins away from home leading into the last game of the season.” Leach said they were hoping to see a big crowd for the Barbarians last game. “It’s also the first game of the Bledisloe Cup, and would be a great entrée of Rugby leading into the Test Match.” The last round of the year will be this Saturday, August 18, at Casuarina Rugby Fields against Mullumbimby (2nd grade) and Southern Cross University (1st grade) and the Barbarians hope to continue their good form.
our hardworking lifesavers can come together and strengthen the ties that bind our community.” Branch President, Wilson Cregan said the funding would go towards, among other things, rendering and painting the building as well as refurbishment and expanding the rescue equipment area. On Saturday, August 25, from 1pm the Club will be holding a “Surf to Turf” fundraiser helping Australian farmers and rural communities. Entertainment will feature the popular and well renowned band “The Round Mountain Girls” The afternoon will feature a Food Truck with food donated by local suppliers, a photo booth with a gold coin donation, jumping castles and special guest from Cool character costume and party hire, can bar and raffles done by local volunteers.
