and last year, during a particularly prolonged and severe one, he left our home on September 2, 2016, taking no money or personal possessions with him.

“We have not seen nor heard from him since.

“Please search Karl Melo Richards on Facebook (pictured right), look carefully at his photos and keep an eye out for him in your local area. If you see him, please contact Palm Beach Police on (07) 5534 0222.”

“Karl if you see this, please contact us and let us know if you are ok.”

National Missing Persons Week 2017 runs until Saturday, August 5, and aims to raise awareness of the issues and impacts surrounding missing persons in Australia.

This year’s theme is: “Still Waiting For You To Come Home”.

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said nearly half of the persons reported missing in NSW last year are under 18.

“There were more than 5,000 reports about missing children in 2016 alone,” Mr Provest said.

“The stress of a missing loved one and living with the unknown has a huge impact on friends and family members. It can affect everything from their health and wellbeing, to work responsibilities, and of course is very emotionally tiring.

“Anyone who is struggling in any way because someone in their life is missing should not hesitate to reach out for

support.

“If you have concerns or information about a missing person I urge you to follow your instincts and contact the police.”

A HEARTBREAKING story of a mother living at Cabarita and in search of her missing son, has served as a reminder to stay connected with loved ones as part of Missing Persons Week.

Mother of three from Maroubra Beach, Vanessa Richards visited The Weekly on Tuesday, August 1, to make a desperate plea to help track down her 26-year-old son Karl Melo Richards.

Mrs Richards said the family had spent a lot of time together on the Southern Gold Coast and Tweed Shire and had heard reports her son could be on the coast.

“We had some reports that he was seen around Burleigh but could also be down this way,” she said.

Mrs Richards wanted to stress that her son did not use any drugs or drink alcohol, but he suffered from intense bouts of depression.

“He left everything behind, his wallet, keys for his car, everything,” she said.

She said the family had been to the police who were assisting to find Karl, but he had not accessed his bank account or made any contact.

A keen surfer, Mrs Richards said her son spent his childhood travelling up and down the coast pursuing the grommet surfing competition circuit.

“He made many friends and has strong ties to Northern NSW and the Gold Coast,” she said.

“Unfortunately, he has suffered bouts of depression over the last ten years

Compliance blitz for retirement villages

THE NSW Government has announced a “compliance blitz” and “overhaul” of Retirement Villages following a range of announced changes that it says will put power back in the hands of retirement village residents under a package of reforms announced on Sunday, July 30.

Minister for Better Regulation Matt Kean said the package includes a fourpoint plan that will put consumers first and protect residents from potentially dodgy practices.

“Retirees have worked hard their whole life so I’ll be coming down on any operators who have not complied with the law,” he said.

“This plan will put consumers first by making contracts more transparent, giving residents the tools to compare costs, and cracking down on providers

through a compliance blitz.”

Mr Kean said an inquiry would also be launched that will make sure residents have the protections they deserve, and that NSW Fair Trading has the necessary powers to ensure retirement village operators are complying with the law.

Kathryn Greiner AO will head the inquiry, which will examine all registered retirement villages across NSW, and their compliance with the Retirement Villages Act 1999.

“I’ve asked Ms Greiner to conduct a thorough inquiry that will see NSW lead the nation in safeguarding the rights of retirement village residents, and be tough on those who take advantage of our seniors,” Mr Kean said.

The package also includes: • An overhaul of the Retirement

Villages Regulation 2009, which NSW Fair Trading recently sought feedback on, that included proposed changes requiring greater transparency around fees and charges in contracts.

• Introducing an online calculator that will help prospective residents, and their families, better understand the estimated costs of living in a retirement village.

• NSW Fair Trading launching a compliance blitz targeting NSW retirement villages.

Minister for Ageing Tanya Davies said she wanted residents to live fulfilling, independent lives in their chosen retirement village.

“While retirement villages offer a great living option for many seniors, we need to ensure the laws in place appropriately protect their financial and physical independence.”

Hastings Point closure appalling

I am absolutely opposed to this ridiculous takeover of public open space. One or two days I may be able to tolerate, but eight weeks?

For many locals, stopping at the point to check out the waves is a daily after work ritual, or just a nice place to go for time-out to relax. It’s also a great draw card for passing tourists to drop in and do a spot of whale watching, who incidentally bring in money to the economy. I had no idea it was even happening until I saw the signs on the headland.

I was incensed on going there a couple of weeks back where I was confronted by a blockade and ‘security guards’ preventing me from driving up the hill.

There seems to have been very little public consultation. I can’t believe that TSC approved it as they are constantly harping on about preserving public open space. It’s just another sign of where this country is heading, becoming a land for the rich and elites who run roughshod over everyone else to get their way, helped by the politicians whose political campaigns are funded by them.

Geoff Murray, Pottsville

Good on you Ted

This dreadful blight on the environment, currently under construction at Hastings Point, should never have been approved.

We know on past record that the NSW State Government and a number of the Tweed Shire councillors have no real interest in or respect for the Tweed natural environment or the sensitivity of this particular area, or care about the impact their decisions will have on it. All they care about is money.

Mayor Katie Milne was the only councillor to vote against it. The others should all be ashamed of themselves.

Good on Ted Brambleby for speaking out and showing he genuinely does care about the unique Hastings Point ecology, and for having the integrity to refuse

the film companies attempt to buy themselves some good PR, where none actually exists. For the sake of the environment and the local community, this should never be allowed to happen again.

Mark Raymond, Pottsville

Films benefit our shire

To bring films and any work prospects to our region can only benefit us all. We all like smooth roads and nice facilities so when money comes to the area from any source it’s only going to improve our area.

The industries have to abide by strict environmental instruction and often leave the area better than it was so I really don’t know why small minorities can have such a selfish attitude. We need a future for our children and grandchildren.

People let this go ahead it will be good for the area. We have let too many opportunities slip by for example Speed on the Tweed and quite a few other events that bought a lot of money to the Tweed Coast.

Berenice Dusi, Tweed

Help save Kings Forest koalas

Hi. Just letting everyone know that if you would like to help tell the State Government that you want the developer of the new “mini city” behind Kingscliff to keep their promises on koala friendly development, that Team Koala is here to make it easy for you. We will be at the Pottsville Markets with all the info and forms.

We will also be at the Casuarina shopping centre and Kingscliff Shopping Centre from 8am to 5pm on August 5 and August 6.

Submissions close on the 11th of August, so this is a great chance to get yours in. Thank you so much to the people in the community that have already made an objection.

Let’s continue to keep them honest.

Jenny Hayes, President of Team Koala

People friendly developments

I have been thinking about how “koala friendly” development is actually “people friendly” development. The promises that the developer of the new mini city behind Kingscliff is trying to weasel out of ( as quietly as possible) are going to hurt our future neighbours as well. They are already going to be cooped up like too many hens in a chook house. They are already going to be living on tiny blocks, far below what was previously regarded as the minimum on the Tweed.

The one hundred metre wildlife corridor promised for the koalas, is surely just as valuable for the families and communities that will live there.

not only koalas being run over, but children also.

Who benefits from breaking these promises? Not our future neighbours, not us having to deal with a stressed community, and not the wildlife .

But really, even if koalas are not your thing, it is worth telling developer to keep the promises he got the approval though on the back of. It is better for everyone.

Do we really have to destroy our Tweed Coast completely for the sake of making a billionaire richer? I don’t mind development, but let’s have some quality control, lest we all end up living in Logan.

Go Team Koala! You are team people too.

Lisa Townsend, Murwillumbah

No to four storeys

Regarding Cylinders Drive development (TVW p5 July 20, 2017). Absolutely no height limit adjustment for this proposed development. It has been made clear time and time again that the residents of the area are strenuously opposed to increasing the three storey height limit.

Approval of any type of height variation only opens the gate, why can’t we just put this matter to bed and keep Kingscliff the unique and wonderful place it is, the reason so many come to enjoy.

Cheryl Sontag, Kingscliff

Rail Trail is money wasted

Six million dollars of our public money wasted on a rail trail for a privileged few, unbelievable. There are already coastal paths for cyclists and walkers, more are not necessary.

Who is actually going to use it and where is the money coming from to maintain it? We need a light rail to service the needs of our local community linking Murwillumbah and other centres to Tweed Heads, Coolangatta airport and Brisbane etc.

I strongly recommend that TWS, if given the dollars, put it towards developing a proposal for light rail for our community.

Wendy McCarroll, Nunderi

Spend the money on our roads

Six million for a rail trail what a joke. If it were spent on the roads around Tweed it would be much more benefit to whole of the shire.

I wonder how a good road has been sealed in the Tweed where one of the councillors live on and he is the one that complains about the roads entering the Tweed from Queenland (Boyd and Enid Street in goat track condition).

G Lee, Tweed

Trains could link to coast

The funding of a rail trail is the last nail in the coffin for an alternative

l i g h t ra i l l i n k i n g B r i s b a n e, Coolangatta airport, Tweed Heads, to Murwillumbah and on to Byron Bay. It is a cop out, a political move to say we tried. State Labor closed the original service down, the Nationals pledged to restore and it and nothing happened. Reasons given were the old service was too expensive to restore and it was not used. Yes under utilised because it terminated at Murwillumbah.

Times have changed. Coolangatta airport is now international, Qld rail now extends to Varsity Lakes with plans to progress it to Burleigh Heads. The potential by linking this system to our region, opens up tourism, provides service industry jobs, is cheap alternative transport for our community including the aged seeking medical services, enables easy access to airports and gets vehicles off our roads.

This is more than a vision it should be a practical reality. As one of the fastest growing population centres in NSW we should be a major part of the State’s Infrastructure budget, not given a handout to be utilised by a privileged few and as a scapegoat to meeting the real needs of where we live.

Robert Learmonth, Nunderi

No to trail yes to trains

I am responding to your newspaper article request for railway trains. Yes, yes and yes.

In a world where the environment is in such a sensitive state. Its a no brainer to have more people in less vehicles for optimal transportation possibilities. Plus knowing that Queensland is eventually aiming for trains to go to Coolangata then why not connect the transportation to NSW, Victoria etc.

Its time the initial cost was looked at in a long term perspective for its value and reward to the community and the planet Annmaree Miller, Tweed

Now lets reject plastic bottles

What a great step forward with the new council bin service reducing landfill and the campaign to reduce one use plastic bags. Let’s add one use plastic water bottles creating enormous landfill to the accomplishments.

For example, the water harvesting on Urliup Road alone creates eight million plastic water bottles into landfill each year. And that is not the only issue with bottled water.

This industry of water harvesting is draining our non renewable ground water system at an alarming rate causing springs and creeks to stop running. Even a more alarming issue is realising trees on our hills and mountain sides send their root systems searching for groundwater, also known as artisian water, bore

water, or spring water, without which they will perish, dying of thirst.

Next time you buy a bottle of spring water remember it is immediate landfill and taken from a public asset depriving locals near the water harvesting industry who rely on spring water for their livestock, agriculture, and domestic use. The haulage, 12 trips a day seven days a week, every day and week of the year, with seven to 19-metre water trucks on winding rural one-lane roads necessitates a massive fossil fuel pollution (plus the fossil fuel needed to manufacture one use plastic water bottles) deteriorates rural roads necessitating constant road repairs because the rural roads are not built for this heavy vehicle traffic. Guess who pays the repair bills, you the ratepayers for one individual to make personal profit from public assets.

The irony is that Tweed Shire Council has spent millions to establish state of the art drinking water free from your tap. Studies have shown council produced water is of a higher quality than the bottled bore water.

Let’s get on the band wagon and eliminate one use plastic water bottles and let the rivers and creeks and springs run free.

Barbara Downes, Urliup Road

More concerns about new bins

When we first came to the Tweed, we were given an 80L galvanised garbage bin and had three teenagers to help fill it.

Soon after, the Council replaced it with a 240L bin - the first “wheelie bin”. They then separated it into two parts - one for the landfill and one for recyclables, which was fine.

They then promoted a 300L composting bin, which we bought from Council and have used ever since, for all our lawn clippings, food scraps, etc.

Next came the separate yellow recycling bin, also 240L. Now we have a 240L green bin for composting as well.

I rang the Council and said I didn’t need it, as we compost our own for the garden. Their reply was “you will get one if you need it or not, and you will pay for it, if you use it or not.”

The three bin system has become four, the 80L bin has grown to 1,000L, the $600 rates have grown to over $2,500 (including water), and our family has shrunk to two pensioners.

It is about time the Council rethought their policies, as they are only encouraging wastage in resources and costs - every year just passing it on to those whose payments and basic and increases are CPI only.

Coles Express Service Station could go ahead PLANS TO redevelop the Round House Tavern site into a Coles Express Service Station at the corner of Alma Street and Tweed Valley Way, Murwillumbah, appear likely to be approved with certain conditions pending the Land and Environment Court’s ruling.

The awaiting ruling from the Court, follows an open-air hearing that took place at the site on Tuesday, August 1, with a tour of the area and further proceedings at the Murwillumbah Courthouse.

The hearing was brought to order by the Land and Environment Court Senior Commissioner Rosemary Martin, who invited members of the community in listed order to voice their concerns, as well as touring the site and assessing flood impacts.

Tweed Shire Councillors had voted unanimously to deny the redevelopment of the South Murwillumbah site in November 2016, however the recommendation from Council officers in an Extradionary Meeting held last Friday, July 28 was that Council provides consent for the service station to progress.

Although several Councillors and Mayor Katie Milne battled against the retail giant Mayor Milne told The Weekly that it was difficult when her own advisors were telling her it would be approved regardless.

“We can’t say with any certainty at this stage, however we are attempting to negotiate with Coles Express Service Station around the possibility for the signage to be tamed down and some questions around the landscaping,” she said.

Althought not invited to speak, Mayor Katie Milne told The Weekly that the site is a significant issue for Murwillumbah.

“We could be living with this development for years to come,” she said.

Although the plans have not been finalised, Mayor Milne said Coles Express had plans to narrow down the two lanes to one lane when

entering Murwillumbah from the Alma Street roundabout.

“I take issue with the traffic reports and I am not convinced they address congestion,” she said.

Mayor Milne said Councillors voted to add further conditions over and above the current plans with the possibility that the approval would be given the green light.

“Our lawyer will argue those points,” she said.

“The commissioner seemed to understand the impacts to the community.

“It’s encouraging that she walked the site heard from locals and noted the various viewpoints of locals.

“I’m always extremely concerned about adding impact to flooding.

“It’s only going to be getting worse. With a petrol station, there are concerns about the potential for pollution.”

Although not a formal speaker in the hearing, Tim Candy, owner of Liberty Fuel on Tweed Valley Way, told The Weekly that he objected to the development on the grounds of it being in direct competition with small existing businesses.

“We don’t want Murwillumbah to be become a mirror image of all the small towns where the big corporations run the small businesses out of town,” he said.

Cynthia Brooke lives near Tyalgum and said she believes the scenic amenity of Murwillumbah’s main entrance was at risk.

Local business owner Kent Wood, who said he was speaking on behalf of his wife Joan, said his family had concerns around the traffic flow as well as flood risk should the development be approved.

These views were shared by most of the objectors on site including Hayes Toyota owner Bert Hayes, who was invited to speak by the court and said he was surprised to be back at the site with this proposal.

“Last year I met with the developers and they said if they didn’t win they would pull out of the proposal,” Mr Hayes said.

“Well they didn’t win, but here we are.”

Mr Hayes expressed his concern with the movement of traffic as well as the need to address the “mother of all floods”.

“We saw the biggest flood we have ever seen in the 100 years our family has been in business in Murwillumbah,” he said.

“We were there for 40 hours fighting back the water. If this land is raised up it will apply more pressure to the area in the event of a flood.

“You only need to look across the road to see the tourist information centre is closed due to the impact of the floods.

“This is the wrong location for a service station.”

Mr Hayes also expressed his concern with traffic hazards and said he was “sceptical of traffic reports” as well as what he said was “no mention of peak flood periods and no

indications of what would be done to address flooding”.

Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber Inc President Ilze Jaunberzins thanked Mayor Milne and Councillors for their efforts.

“I was driving past our Murwillumbah Court House at around 4.30pm and saw the Coles legal team on the footpath and our Mayor Katie Milne coming out of the Courthouse looking very exhausted,” Mrs Jaunberzins said.

“Katie you probably were in the Courtroom witnessing our future unfold.

“Whatever is the outcome I can personally share my sincere thanks to you and your outstanding loyalty to our town’s future.

“The Murwillumbah and Business District Chamber stands shoulder to shoulder and behind Council for the Court to rule in favour of the Tweed Council.”

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Power price rises causing political storm Is a marriage legal if it’s never consummated?

Can a marriage be legal if your new wife or husband refuses to have sex with you – not just on the wedding night, but ever?

The question arose in an interesting Family Court case when a 68-year-old Tasmanian man described his new 31-year-old Filipina wife as a “classic mailorder bride” who refused to have sex with him. As soon as she got her marriage visa, she left him.

The man wanted the marriage declared void, as he believed the marriage was a scam to get her a residency visa. He argued a section of the Marriage Act 1961 says a marriage is void when the consent of either party was obtained by fraud.

However, the judge declared that fraud in the Act ¬referred to things such as impersonation or false identity.

The fact that no sex occurred in the marriage was irrelevant, as Australian law does not require a marriage be consummated to be valid. The judge ruled the marriage was not invalid, it was just that the man’s expectations of marriage had not been met.

In medieval times they hung blood-stained bedsheets out the window after the wedding night to prove the marriage had been consummated, and the bride had been a virgin. Thankfully those times are long gone.

Until the Family Law Act 1975, marriages could be voided if either party at the time of marriage was of “unsound mind” or a “mental defective”, if one of them had venereal disease, or if the bride was pregnant by a person other than the husband.

“The Family Law Act 1975 ended all that,” said Rita Fisher, a family law solicitor with Stacks Law Firm.

Under the law, to be legally married in Australia a man and a woman – and only a man and a woman unless the federal government changes the law – must: • not be married to someone else • not be marrying a parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother or sister

• understand what marriage means and freely consent to becoming husband and wife • use specific words during the ceremony • give written notice of their intention to marry to their authorised celebrant, within the required time frame An overseas marriage will generally be recognised in Australia if it: • was a valid marriage in the overseas country • would have been recognised as valid under Australian law if the marriage had taken place in Australia

“Next, from 1 July 2014, they deregulated retail electricity prices which allowed the big power companies to gouge even larger profits from customers. Within months of deregulation, prices had increased by 10-15 per cent.

“Then in 2015-17 the State Government used tax payers money to go to court to stop the Australian Energy Regulator cutting network costs for households and businesses, costing homes an average of more than $300 a year and businesses an average of nearly $540 a year - nearly $6 billion over the regulated period.

“The Liberals and Nationals did this while failing to ensure enough new electricity generation capacity was being built in NSW, through their ideological opposition to renewable energy.

“Renewables are only 14 per cent of our energy, with coal producing 80 per cent today.

“This is why NSW is now at risk of not having enough secure electricity supply. As our old coal-fired power stations retire at the end of their lives, we need to ensure there is enough new supply coming online. At present, that is not happening, causing risks of even higher prices and power shortages.”

“I fully acknowledge that some people are doing it tough with their power bills, that’s why this budget has included $256 million to make it easier for people to apply for pensioner discounts and other measures to meet their energy bills.

“This is a Federal Government issue and includes factors outside of NSW and to be fair it is including States under Labor control including Queensland, Victoria and South Australia.

“This is a national crisis and it requires Federal Government intervention. The push towards renewables should be further explored, however base load power is required to make up the short fall in power needs which may include coal etc.”

In response, Mr Park MP said the State Government sold the publicly owned electricity generators in 2013 and allowed the new private owner of Wallerawang to close the power station without replacing the 1000MW of electricity it produced.

“This placed our energy security at risk, remember February, and drove prices higher.

“The sale – made against the recommendation of the ACCC - also reduced competition, also put upward pressure on prices.

A POLITICAL storm is brewing over the cost of electricity as Tweed Shire residents are receiving a nasty surprise from their latest power bills, following a collective increase of around 17 per cent in power prices since July 1.

NSW Shadow Treasurer Ryan Park MP visited the Tweed last week and met with local Richmond Federal MP Justine Elliot and locals to discuss the impact that higher power bills will have.

“A NSW Labor government will put downward pressure on power price rises for households by “re-regulating” the electricity market so companies cannot make excessive profits,” Mr Park said.

“We will also use proceeds from NSW’s share of the Snowy Hydro scheme buy out by the Federal Government to invest in renewable energy generation in regional areas.

“Residents across the North Coast have every right to be wondering why, if the State Government has got so much money in the bank, life under the Liberal National Government is getting harder not easier.”

Mrs Elliot said power hikes were inevitable under the Liberal-National Government’s plan.

“Make no mistake; these price hikes were always going to occur under the Liberal-National Government’s plan to privatise electricity assets in NSW,” she said.

“Geoff Provest MP and the Nationals need to explain why they are pushing up power prices for locals.”

Mr Provest refuted those claims and said base power station reductions, as well as wholesale power prices controlled under the Federal Government were to blame.

“First off, I absolutely deny that, there are two components to power costs the first one is network costs (poles and wires) the second one is wholesale power costs,” he said.

“The increased costs are being driven by national wholesale energy price raises from the generators themselves.

“Several factors that are influencing the power increases including the closure of base power provides in

Councillors share views on Hastings Point future Artificial reef for Tweed TWEED SHIRE Councillors were this week asked to share their views on the future use of Hastings Point Headland, including several questions around their decision to approve the site for filming purposes and whether they believe one of the Tweed Coast’s gems could be used for filming again.

Mayor Katie Milne said she was “hoping this would be the last film ever filmed on the headland with infrastructure that puts the headland at risk”.

“Those views will be shared to the State Government,” she said.

Mayor Milne said that because the State Government had already given their approval over the crown land site, the onus was shifted to the Councillors who had to hold an emergency meeting on the matter.

Mayor Milne was the only Councillor who voted against the proposal due to what she said was a lack of community consultation and adequate addressing of environmental concerns.

“I felt like we were totally snookered,” she said.

“We requested the proponent carry out community consultation and the consultation was highly inadequate.”

The Mayor said there were no letters of support, only verbal consultation which she felt was inadequate.

“All too late. We trusted the process had been undertaken. We later found out there were huge inadequacies,” she said.

“There should never been any development on that rocky foreshore.

It’s a rocky platform that’s fragile and should be protected.”

Mayor Milne said she would raise a motion before Council at the next Ordinary Meeting to write to the

State Government to give the site the “protection it deserves”.

“State Government has a responsibility and it’s time the State Government stepped up,” she said.

The Weekly spoke with Member for Tweed Geoff Provest, who responded to Mayor Milne’s concerns and said the Councillors had every chance to vote the motion down.

“Warner Brothers had their development application in for a month,” Mr Provest said.

“Katie should deal with her own Councillors.”

Meanwhile, Pryce Allsop also responded to The Weekly’s questions and said he believed filming would be possible on the headland in future “dependant on the application and its merits”.

“The possibility of impact to the site would be a red flag,” he said.

“Bonds are required but this certainly does give film companies a green light to produce films in Tweed Shire. On any of the Tweed Shire sites there is an absolute duty of care.”

Mr Allsop said he would expect the company to deliver on their promises to leave the site better than it was on their arrival.

“Of course any impact on the site will have consequences that will obviously affect all future applications,” he said “Consultation is always desirable. The more time to prepare questions and research the answers of consultation certainly offers better understandings of concerns.

“This application didn’t give Council a great deal of time. Councillors had faith in Council officer’s determinations so approval was given by a majority vote.”

Finally The Weekly asked Mr Allsop

whether three months was too long for the production to use the headland.

“The time frame is impacted on by the Companies requirements to show due diligence in caring for the site and the environment,” he said.

“I would suggest the difficulty in preparing on a sensitive site is time consuming, simply put, it takes time being careful.

“On my visits to the site there has been little impact to the overall seating space and the opportunity to gaze upon the view.

“There is some impact on the grass on the site. The film company is taking a series of measures to reduce impacts of visitors.”

Councillor James Owen said he would support future filming although he stressed that applicants would be considered on their merits.

“I believe that there is a place for wellconsidered activities that do not cause significant long term environmental damage if there are direct economic, social, recreational benefits to the community,” he said.

“Every activity must be considered on its merits and the likely impacts to the environment.”

“In my dealing with them they have proven to be very professional and committed to do so.

“The majority of Council supported the application. I also believe that the majority of people on the Tweed support low impact industries such as filming.

“With regard to future applications, each applicant is considered on its merits.”

AN ARTIFICIAL offshore reef which will increase fish habitat and boost recreational fishing and tourism has been announced for the Tweed Coast and is expected to be completed by the end of 2019.

Minister for Primary Industries, Niall Blair visited the Tweed Shire last Friday, July 28 to make the announcement and said the new offshore artificial reef is great news for Tweed Heads.

“The NSW Government will invest $1.1 million towards the design and construction of this offshore artificial reef,” Mr Blair said.

“The reef will use an innovative state-of-the-art design which deflects currents to create eddies and upwellings which provide intricate habitats for a variety of fish species and marine life.

“More than 50 different species of fish have been identified on our current offshore artificial reefs - including yellowtail kingfish, snapper and mulloway - which shows just how effective they are in boosting fish habitats.

“We have been overwhelmed by the popularity of these reefs – everyone wants one and I can’t wait to see more dotted along the NSW coastline.”

There is no indication yet where the reef will be located and the Department of Primary Industries will undertake extensive consultation with relevant stakeholders to ensure the reefs will have minimal impact on existing uses.

Currently, artificial reefs are located at Sydney, Shoalhaven and Port Macquarie, while other reefs are due to be installed at Port Hacking in September and Merimbula next year.

Member for Tweed, Geoff Provest said the reef will be a great addition to local waters as fishing is one of the far North Coast’s most popular recreational activities.

“The reef’s location will be discussed and agreed upon by local anglers but will be in close proximity to boat ramps, where there is currently no natural reef,” Mr Provest said

THE NSW Government is seeking public feedback on short-term holiday letting (STHL) such as Airbnb and Stayz following the recent release of an Options Paper as figures for the Tweed Shire reveal a high number of short-term rentals.

The Options Paper follows an 18-month NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into shortterm letting that was held in Tweed Heads last year. The inquiry recommended that short-term letting be allowed when a host is present and that properties without a host present could be rented for a set number of days per year.

Tweed Shire Council told the Parliamentary Inquiry they estimated there are more than 2,000 short-term rental properties across the Tweed Shire.

Figures from the Inside Airbnb website, which provides data on Airbnb listings estimates there are 359 Airbnb properties in the Tweed Shire area where 253 are entire homes/apartments.

On average these properties rent for $182 per night and have an 18 per cent occupancy rate. Of these properties 91 per cent or 326 properties have high availability, meaning these properties are available for more than 60 nights per year and most likely being used as ‘businesses’ rather than renting out spare rooms for additional income.

Surprisingly more than one third (34.5 per cent) of all listings are rented by a host with more than one listing, although this figure does include hosts who have separate listings for multiple rooms within the same home.

A search of the most popular hosts found one who has 12 listings across the Tweed Shire, another with ten all in the Kingscliff/ Casuarina area, a host with nine listings in Kingscliff, another with seven on the Tweed Coast and three others who have four listings each.

There are concerns from within the community that the number of short-term

holiday rentals are reducing the amount of long-term rentals as the vacancy rate for the Northern Rivers in June remained low at 1.7 per cent, up from one per cent three months prior.

The State Government disagreed and said in their Options Paper, “the limited evidence currently available suggests that the impact of STHL on rental availability is negligible,” the report reads.

Minister for Planning and Housing, Anthony Roberts said potential options the Government is seeking views and comments on include: • Industry self-regulation, including a code of conduct, complaints management, education, monitoring and reporting.

• Strata regulation, including by-laws managing visitor behaviour, by-laws for compensation for adverse effects and bylaws prohibiting STHL. regulation, • Planning including development approval, limiting of length of stay and number of days per year, limiting by number of bedrooms and regulating by whether host is present.

• Registration to manage safety and amenity issues..

“We believe that by engaging with those most affected - homeowners, tenants, holidaymakers, neighbours, strata corporations, short-term holiday letting businesses, traditional accommodation operators and local councils - we can achieve the right balance of what level of regulation is required to best meet the needs of the NSW community,” Mr Roberts said.

The paper is now available for public feedback for a three-month consultation period until October 31, after which the NSW Government will consider submissions and decide what regulatory approach it will pursue for short-term holiday letting.

Hoarding workshop to assist with condition

NEW REVERSE CYCLING AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM!

THOSE STRUGGLING with hoarding tendencies or living with a hoarder, are invited to attend a workshop at the Tweed Heads Civic Centre on Friday, August 18.

The Effective Approaches to Hoarding Behaviours workshop will attempt to shed light on the condition for people working to support those with hoarding issues, according to Workshop Facilitator and Consultant Maire Barron.

“Hoarding is a complex condition affecting more than 400,000 Australians and somewhere between 3-5 per cent of people in our region,” she said.

“I really hope that by bringing more understanding on this condition, that ultimately the people living with it get some support and relief around their experience; that it improves their safety, security and well-being”.

“I was working with a housing provider

when I realised the extent of the issue. There were people at risk of eviction because of their hoarding habits and it was my role to try to help them to sustain their tenancies.”

“One of the most difficult elements for people with a hoarding condition is the loss of connection with people - it’s often an isolating condition. So while they seem normal outside of their home, often people shut off their homes and don’t allow family, friends or neighbours to visit. It can be a very lonely experience.”

The Hoarding and Squalor Workshop is aimed at up-skilling people working in home support roles such as mental health, disability, home care, housing support workers and real estate agents.

Railway Action Group calls halt to trail Nominations still open for Queen Quest “It makes life so difficult for our most disadvantaged people,” Ms Shelley said.

“Trains are cheap, efficient and cut down carbon emissions and they can make life fairer and easier for people who are struggling.”

Several other residents including Phil Latz of Stokers Siding said complaints about traffic jams on the M1 north of the Tweed could be relieved by rail.

“It’s time for an efficient train service to Murwillumbah with hire bikes available to explore the Northern Rivers area and ride to the Art Gallery,” Mr Latz said.

“Then for tourists to catch a train south to Burringbar, Mooball, Byron Bay, Lismore and beyond, and do the same.

“We must stop throwing away future possibilities - Turnbull spoke of building infrastructure, let’s have some here.”

Another resident, Wendy McCarroll of Nunderi, said she believed there were “already enough coastal paths for cyclists and walkers, more are not necessary”.

“Who is actually going to use it and where is the money coming from to maintain it?” she said.

“We need a light rail to service the needs of our local community linking Murwillumbah and other centres to Tweed Heads and Coolangatta airport, Brisbane etc.”

THE APEX Tweed Valley Queen Quest is approaching its first fundraising event with nominations still open for the next Queen or Teen Queen to step up.

Apex member and Queen Quest organiser Carol Mudge said the Queen Quest would start its intensive fundraising month during August.

“Car washes start this Saturday, August 5, at Murwillumbah Caltex from 9am through until 2pm,” Mrs Mudge said.

“Plus our major fundraising raffle tickets will start selling this week with all money raised from this going to Tweed Palliative Support and Wedgetail Retreat.

“We will also have a raffle at every car wash and a stall with home baking and craft goods.

“We are also running a fundraising colouring-in competition for all those artistic people who would like to enter.

Junior nominations 0 - 12 years are $2 and Seniors 13+ years are $3.”

Mrs Mudge said the Queen Quest was still open for Queen and Teen Queen nominations.

“Although the girls start their journey this weekend with Deportment Day with Maggie‐ Anne Leybourne from Bam Promotions and Hannah Mudge from Blossom Beauty and photography, we’re still encouraging locals to get in touch and nominate,” she said.

“On Sunday, August 6, at the Condong Bowls Club, anyone who is still interested is welcome to come to the day and meet the other entrants and see what the Quest has to offer, the fun starts at 9am.”

Mrs Mudge said the Quest had so far attracted five Queens and four Teen Queens, along with 15 children participating in the Junior sections (Prince, Junior and Senior Princess).

“But we are expecting the numbers to climb this week and next as many more forms have been collected,” she said.

Children’s nominations are open until August 18 with their first event being the Teddy Bear’s Picnic Family Day. “This event is only open for entrants and their immediate family members. We are having the Fire Brigade attend, there will be sack races, egg and spoon races, facepainting and tug-o-war, lots of family fun,” she said.

“And of course our last event the Colours of the Valley Gala Dinner which is our crowning night.

“Everyone is invited to this event and tickets and booking will be on sale from next week until August 31, tickets are $40 per person $12 per child under 13.”

THE NORTHERN Rivers Railway Action Group has expressed their concern with moves to install a rail trail from Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek in what they fear will signal the end of the line for a light rail network.

The Weekly has received around a dozen letters from residents left bewildered by the State Government’s decision to spend $6.3 million in funding on the rail trail.

“If the Federal Government approves the additional funding this will mean the loss of the Casino to Murwillumbah rail corridor,” Beth Shelley, spokesperson for NRRAG wrote to The Weekly.

The NRRAG have recently launched a petition, via Change.org, which has resulted in 364 signatures objecting to the rail trail, although many residents have shown their support for the rail trail and there’s been assurances the corridor will remain safe with the potential to be used as a future rail corridor.

“Many people believe that having a rail trail will protect the rail corridor,” Ms Shelley said.

“The Casino to Murwillumbah railway line is protected under the 99A Transport Administration Act, which only an act of Parliament can amend.

“If the government passes rail trail legislation that is an act of parliament so the protection for the corridor will be gone.

“The State Government approved the recent Tumbarumba rail trail legislation which means the Tumbarumba railway land has now become crown lands.

“As seen at Brunswick Heads recently the State Government can hand over crown lands to developers without community consultation.

Beth Shelley states more than ever an increasing population of elderly people and people on disability benefits, often cannot drive and would benefit from a commuter train.

THE MASTERS of Campdrafting will converge on Uki this weekend for the annual 2017 Uki Campdraft at 340 Rowlands Creek Road from Saturday, August 5 to Sunday, August 6.

The recent dry weather has kept the grounds looking good this year with competitors travelling from several hours drive in all directions to attend, as well as the local members of the Uki Sporting Horse Association that certainly hold their own in the regular competitions locally.

There will be more than 400 cattle required for the weekend to cater for the Maiden and Novice Drafts, with particular attention being paid to the Junior draft for children 8-12 years old and the Juvenile draft for 1317 year olds.

Campdrafting can be traced back more than 100 years, back to the days when ringers www.murwillume-p.schools.nsw.edu.au would challenge each other to “draft” a beast from the “camp” around a designated course.

The standard of the modern competitor is very high with many days spent at training clinics and working with your horse to operate as a team as well as trying to get tips from the old timers.

Secretary Rachel Trevaskis said the competition will start with the Novice draft about 10am on Saturday, with the special event of the day being the “State of Origin” campdraft, in which the six highest scores from Queensland and NSW fiercely vie for the title.

“This event has been going continuously for nearly 30 years, we anticipate this to be run at approximately 3.30pm on Saturday

displays of tradi�onal stories and informa�on about our local indigenous culture. The assembly was followed by an a�ernoon of ac�vi�es with an indigenous theme that all of our students thoroughly enjoyed.

“We are holding a small ceremony with the commemoration of a plaque in honour of the local identity in the late Bernie Kinneally, who was instrumental in raising funds to purchase the grounds and use of machinery to maintain it whilst also donating cattle each year. He also held various positions on the committee over many years and several of his family will be present.

“Catering will be available for delicious sandwiches and hamburgers, tea, biscuits and cake to keep the workers on the job and to satisfy the spectators, the bar will be open in the afternoon running into the evening’s entertainment by local legendary music DJ Chris Stomuwhere everyone can dance and yarn long into the night.

“A satisfying meal after a hard day’s work will be supplied and catered by our club members in our wonderful onsite facilities.”

Sunday will kick off at about 8am with the Maiden draft followed by the Novice final.

“We are hoping to finish mid-afternoon so that everyone can return home safely before dark,” Mrs Trevaskis said.

“The club has been rejuvenated in the last year with the introduction of our Western and Sporting days that run approximately every two months with quite a few clinics and training days being held in between.”

“Everyone is warmly invited to attend for a great social get together and to see some pretty horses try hard with their riders in a difficult discipline that takes quite some time to master.”

Special Energy Crisis Feature - Part 1

Power Prices Going Up 16% to 20% in July

The three biggest energy retailers in NSW announced they will be increasing electricity prices by 16 to 19.9% on the 1st of July 2017.

Some experts are predicting 40-50% increases in power costs over the next three years.

Electricity prices have doubled in the past five years because the Federal Government deliberately created uncertainty about energy and climate policy. Investment in new power plants and renewable energy has stalled, while transmission and distribution networks over-invested in poles and wires, charging consumers a premium on the value of their excessive investments, that now make up half of the charges on electricity bills.

Coal and Gas Corporations made huge donations to political parties, lobbying politicians to do nothing while they manipulated and doubled the wholesale spot prices for electricity in the Australian Electricity Market. Households and businesses are now bearing the burden for this massive failure in leadership to provide low cost, clean energy.

Vincent Selleck is the Managing Director of 888 Solar Tek, dedicated to helping households and businesses defend against the high cost of electricity, with strategies and solutions using the latest solar technology available today.

Take Back Your Power!

With Feed in Tariffs now ridiculously low, storing solar power in batteries is now much cheaper than the grid. 6-12 cents per kWh it is not a fair price to export power when you have to buy your energy back later for more than 30 cents. Solar Power Battery Storage is one of the best ways to beat the unfair electricity network and create energy independence today.

888 Solar Tek is local, family owned solar company based in the Northern Rivers, providing revolutionary new technology that slashes the cost of battery storage.

Solar Power is Your Best Defence

Many people have been producing their own electricity for years, benefiting from lowcost, clean energy from the Sun. With power prices going through the roof, and solar power now cheaper than ever, there has never been a better time to invest in your own solar power system.

This special feature looks at some of the latest trends in solar energy and how you can benefit the most from generating and storing your own power.

The landscape for solar energy has changed dramatically over the last two years. High Feed In Tariffs for selling power to the grid have finished in NSW, making it more important With custom designs based on your energy use, 888 Solar Tek to use your own power rather than selling it.

“Thank you Mate” award recipient Smile Street

Award recipient of 2017 Business Leader Aged 36+

Secret Sauce to Success FOUNDER OF Ozganics Pty Ltd Anni Brownjohn (formally The Right Food Group) was established in 1999 and was the first organic sauce manufacturing facility in Australia.

The Organic industry was seen as a subversive hippy movement, with no centralised auditing system, so Anni decided she was determined to set a high standard and build a network around a cause not just the bottom line.

Anni products are now stocked in more than 20 countries in some of the largest retailers both nationally and abroad.

Anni is very proud to have put her “small, spirited community of Murwillumbah on the map”.

Her success in the Asia Pacific region has highlighted not only the demand for organic wholefoods, but also

the incredible opportunities afforded to Australia with world-class products.

The business has since been recognised with National Business Innovator Award 2013 at ‘Telstra Business Women’s Awards’, Paul Harris Fellow for contribution to community and local business, and ingenuity in the kitchen with numerous national, international awards for product innovation and most recently Anni was named the 2017 BEATS Business Leader of the year (aged 36+).

“The BEATS are always a fantastic way of staying connected with our local community,” she said.

“There are many challenges in owning your own business, but if you focus on two simple things investing in your people and your product everything else will fall into place.

“I am fortunate to have a team here in the Tweed who are as passionate about bringing sustainable, affordable wholefoods to families as myself.

“And what we have found is this altruism translates when speaking with customers abroad.”

Anni said she loves meeting with entrepreneurial women who have big dreams and the determination to succeed.

“I have found that one of the biggest barriers is simply overthinking it,” she said.

“My mother once told me, don’t risk the farm but be confident and just have a go.”

The venue also looked the part with an amazing arrangement of entrees, main meals and deserts for 200 guests, catered by JuJu’s.

Hosts of the event were Toni Zuschke and Jamie Cunningham who presented a total of 21 awards from a range of categories both new and old.

Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber president Ilze Jaunberzins made the opening address and said she was delighted to welcome everyone to the celebration of “vision, strategy, hard work and persistence shown by our local businesses”.

Mrs Jaunberzins welcomed Member for Lismore Thomas George, Tweed Shire Councillors, Tweed Shire Council General Manager Troy Green, as well as chamber members from both Tweed and Kingscliff Chambers.

“Your positive collaboration and support has been and is greatly valued in this the fifth year of the BEATS awards,” she said.

“In spite of the devastating floods of March, the Board decided to proceed with this celebration to affirm the strength and hope of the business community.

“As we open this night of celebration and gratitude – on behalf of everyone present I acknowledge the traditional owners of this magnificent and beautiful land where we are holding this gathering tonight.

“I acknowledge the Elders past, present and emerging who will continue to enrich our community.

“Let our evening unfold in beauty and excitement.”

And the night did just that, with many local hardworking businesses received some much deserving praise.

Toni said it was a special year considering what the community has endured during the past four months.

“The night was one of celebration and showed great support for one another,” she said.

“Sponsors have already said they are keen for next year and we feel these awards are really important for the moral of the Tweed business community.”

Life After Cancer Day announced Vinnies Community Sleepout

DRAGONS ABREAT Mt Warning will host its second annual ‘Life After Cancer Day’ on Saturday, August 12, at Budd Park in Murwillumbah.

This is a special day when both Dragons Abreast Mt Warning (DAMW) members and the Mt Warning Dragon Boat Club set out to spoil anyone at all who is suffering any effects of cancer or cancer treatment or anyone who is incapacitated due to any sort of illness.

“We are offering the chance to forget all your cares and troubles for one magical morning on the river when we will give you (and your carer or guest) a delicious morning tea, followed by a safe and gentle paddle down the beautiful Tweed River from Budd Park, finishing up with a sausage sizzle back at the park,” organiser Anne Bowden said.

“There is no need for our clients to do anything but eat, drink and enjoy the passing scenery.

“As well as hosting our special guests, the day will be an auspicious day as we are also

celebrating the purchase of our new DAMW boat, Lady Christine 11, with a traditional Buddhist boat blessing.

“This is a customary ceremony and is always done before a dragon boat can be used for regattas.”

This time of year, is a busy period for both Dragons Abreast Mt Warning and the Mt Warning Dragon Boat Club.

“The Mt Warning Dragon Boat Club is hosting its annual Bridge to Bridge and Corporate/Sports Regatta on the September 9/10,” she said.

“This is always a lively and fun filled occasion where as well as elite dragon boating sports club events, amateur teams from all walks of life battle it out on the water in an attempt to win a worthy championship.

“And Dragons Abreast Mt Warning is holding its own “Pink” (breast cancer survivors) regatta on October 29.”

The Life After Cancer Treatment Day will start at 9.30am. For more information phone 0421 813 077.

COMMUNITY MEMBERS including managers and staff from Tweed Clubs, members of sporting groups, Vinnies staff and many other supporters will sleep rough tonight (Thursday, August 3) to help raise funds for Fred’s Place, Tweed Heads.

The Vinnies Community Sleepout will be held at the rear of Seagulls Club, Gollan Drive, Tweed Heads and commence at 6pm.

Sleepers will be provided with a large cardboard carton and are expected to bring their own warm clothing and sleeping gear, such as a swag, blankets or sleeping bag.

Seagulls will provide a light evening meal of soup and bread rolls.

Fred’s Place is Tweed Shire’s only daytime support centre for homeless people and those at risk of homelessness.

It offers bathroom and laundry facilities, a kitchen with hearty food, internet, medical care, TV and a range of assistance and referral services to government agencies and accommodation providers.

Fred’s Place is fully supported by Vinnies, and this annual event is the major source of

fundraising.

“Tweed Clubs are very proud supporters of our local community and when organisations such as Vinnies call for help we are all happy to come together as a group and do our bit,” said Phill Kelly, on behalf of the Tweed Clubs that are key supporters of Fred’s Place.

“All local clubs have come together to show their support for this year’s Vinnies Community sleepout for Fred’s Place.

We understand the significant issue of homelessness, not only in our local area but across the region with homelessness becoming a terrible reality for people from all walks of life.

“Witnessing first-hand the great work that organisations like Fred’s Place do and the positive impact they have on the less fortunate in our community has been an inspiration to all of us, and we are delighted to be supporting this worthy cause.”

“Will you turn your back on the future of Plans to drive tourism Hastings Point”, says marine biologist

THE NSW Government last week announced a dedicated Flood Recovery Support Program worth $300,000 to help drive visitors back to the NSW North Coast this Spring.

HASTINGS POINT Marine Biologist Ted Brambleby said he fears without the proper intervention the plight of natural ecosystems around the iconic Hasting Point headland could drastically change from its original ecology, but he remains hopeful the community will understand the issue in greater depth.

Mr Brambleby recently took issue with the reporting of Hastings Point headland as the site for a Warner Brother film production, which he has spoken against but also feels the temporary development sets a “dangerous precedent”.

Mr Brambleby is a Marine Biologist from the Marine Environments Field Study Resource Centre at the North Star Holiday Park, where he presents a series of Marine Biology presentations about the plight of our local ecosystems.

He’s also planning to launch a regular meeting with Hastings Point and Tweed locals, to share his views and make his case for the environmental sensitivity of the headland.

“The Hastings Point headland and the littoral and sublittoral ecosystem it supports, is today starting to appear as an industrial construction site in preparation for the Hollywood-style show pony it is becoming,” he said.

“This headland in fact provides anchorage to one of the most unique, ecologically sensitive, respected and vulnerable rocky-shore ecosystems on the Eastern seaboard.

“The entire ecology that the headland

Marine Biologist Ted Brambleby wants to save the future of Hastings Point headland

supports, extending from the natural grass that carpets the region above the high tide line, a huge network of sublittoral channels and reefs functions as a complete and critically significant food well as well as a huge ecological kidney, whose rich biodiversity of barnacles, tube worms and sea squirts, comprises its functioning filtration and waste distillation units.”

Mr Brambleby said the headland, its rocky shore and offshore oceanic and shallow reef ecosystems, form a vast “symbiotic connection” that is critical in sustaining long and short-term health and ecological integrity of the immediate marine environments.

“This includes the unique biodiversity as well of our one-of-a-kind estuary, dune system, beach and Wallum Heathland, for which the headland acts as a central hub,” Mr Brambleby said.

“The only legacy that should be left in the wake of these film sets is not what the headland can do for the economy, wealth and entertainment of the community, but what the community

can do to protect and preserve the ecological wealth and health of the headland for the future.

“And the assurance through Council and State Government representatives that this type of exploitation doesn’t set the precedence for some ugly future accepted norm, ie the assurance that it won’t happen again.

“These convictions represent a voice for the voiceless majority (the biodiversity) today eclipsed by the noisy minority whose own survival, ironically, is solely dependent upon the fate of this voiceless majority, nature.

“We are standing at the edge of the precipice with nature, where we can either embrace our future working with nature or tip over the edge into the unknown and work against nature which will not end well.”

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you agree with Ted’s views above? And would you welcome a community presentation at the Marine Museum in the North Star?

Send your views and letters to editor@ theweekly.net.au

Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall were in Lismore to make the announcement and said the NSW Government was “doing everything it can to assist the North Coast tourism industry following the devastating floods in March”.

“After consulting with our key industry stakeholders and listening to their concerns, I’m very pleased to announce the NSW Government will be delivering a Flood Recovery Support Program,” Ms Berejilklian said.

“It’s important we send a clear message that the North Coast is open for business.”

Mr Marshall said the NSW Government’s campaign was designed to have a significant impact on local tourism.

“The funding program will include new marketing initiatives, an extensive digital and social media program, media familiarisations as well as industry partnerships with HotelsCombined, Webjet, Stayz and National Geographic,” Mr Marshall said.

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest, who joined the Premier and Minister Marshall for the announcement, said the campaign will help grab the attention of those wanting to book a short break or longer holiday.

“Our region is back on its feet. We want to make sure that every bed in every hotel is on the bookings radar over the coming Spring period,” Mr Provest said.

Member for Lismore Thomas George said the Flood Recovery Support Program follows the announcement of the exclusive Barbarians Rugby match.

“With the Barbarians taking on a Classic Wallabies and National Rugby Championship select side this October, this event will provide a strong boost to the local economy and further showcase regional NSW’s number one destination,” he said.

The support and promotional package will run until September 2017.

Wishing Joe & Staff all the best

Wonder Wash returns better than ever after facing toughest challenge yet WONDER WASH Laundromat owner Joe Scholl had a skip in his step this week with the re-opening of his iconic local business at 58 Wollumbin Street on Monday, July 31, after one of the toughest challengers Joe has ever faced.

While insurance helped Joe and his family to get the business back up and running, following the flood in March and a fire in May, the funds fell short of what was needed to cover the total cost which is likely to exceed $100,000.

Despite the challenges ahead for the local business, Joe said he’s feeling a lot better now the renovations are complete and business is ticking over.

The renovations look fantastic, with all new digital washing machines, new dryers, storage facilities, new folding and sorting tables, new coffee machine as well as few gadgets to improve safety and security.

The business will no longer offer computers for Internet use, which were on offer prior to the floods but have since been rolled out.

Wonder Wash was smashed by the Tweed flood from March 31 and to add further insult to injury a fire broke out inside the building in mid-May. “Between the fire and the flood, we’ve been struggling to

“Fortunately thanks to insurance and the help from family, friends and local businesses, we’ve been able to re-open for our clients and the machines have been running hot ever since.”

Joe said he will now be able to fulfill his client needs as well as offering his personalised service.

“As one of the only laundromats in the Tweed Valley to offer a full service to our customers and clients who rely on us to keep their business running smoothly, and we’re pleased to be back,” Joe said.

“The re-opening has also been a blessing for Joe’s daughter Ashley, who works in the shop and Nickole Harris the shop’s employee.

The Scholl family have also announced they will be hosting an open day and barbecue at the laundromat to invite the community back and to have a look.

Riverview Hotel backs Murwillumbah Cup Tweed Theatre Co opens Australia Day THE RIVERVIEW Hotel has been announced as a new major sponsor of the Tweed River Jockey Club Murwillumbah Cup which is set to run on Friday, August 25.

Chairman of Racing Bernie Quinn OAM said the Club is very proud to have this association and thanked the new owners of the Riverview Hotel, John and Michael Schlederer, for their support.

“In all my years as Chairman of the Club we have appreciated the support of all the local businesses and it is great news for the Club and the town that we have been able to secure a new local sponsor for the Murwillumbah Cup and we look forward to a long great working relationship,” he said.

The Murwillumbah Cup has historically taken place on the last Sunday in June, but was changed to the last weekend in August to attract more punters and to align with the Northern Rivers Cup season.

Tweed River Jockey Club General Manager Brian Charman said it was a major coup for the Murwillumbah Cup raceday to be transferred to a Friday afternoon.

“It is a terrific result for racing here at Murwillumbah and also for the racing industry,” Mr Charman said.

“The Murwillumbah Cup will be the first of the triple headers of Cup meetings on the Northern Rivers with the Murwillumbah

Cup being a terrific lead in to the Ballina Cup to be held on Thursday, September 7, followed by the Lismore Cup on Thursday, September 21.

Another fantastic afternoon and evening is planned with gates opening at 11am and the first of eight races starting at 12.25pm with the Riverview Hotel Murwillumbah Cup scheduled for a 4.10pm start.

Tursa Employment and Training continue their great support of racing on the Northern Rivers and in particular of Murwillumbah where they again will sponsor the running of the Tursa Employment and Training Murwillumbah Newmarket, a terrific race over 1,200 metres.

The afternoon racing will be heavily supported by trainers, jockeys and connections north and south of the border as they race for in excess of $185,000 in total prize money on the day.

There is plenty of entertainment planned for the evening with Mark Forbes, sports commentator entertaining the crowd through to 6pm, followed by the Mangrove Jack Band live on course until late.

Aussie Bouncin Bites will entertain the children, along with market stalls and fashions will make a great day for everybody.

Reserved seating is available and new chef Nigel Coulson will be catering the afternoon and evening, contact Brian Charman on 0408 627 573 to book a place.

Tweed Theatre Company Inc proudly presents.....

TWEED THEATRE Company is proud to announce the opening of Australia Day, by acclaimed playwright and Sydney Theatre Company satirist Jonathan Biggins, with the opening night on Friday, August 4 at the Coolangatta/Tweed Heads Golf Club.

Directed by Natalie Trengove, the country town of Coriole is getting ready for Australia Day, a time to crack open a frothy, stick a snag on the barbie and celebrate what it means to be a true blue Aussie Day. The Australia Day committee is gearing up to put on the town’s biggest party, but it has a few issues of its own to sort out first.

With everyone from the Greens to the local mayor to the CWA wanting a piece of the party pie, it’s proving hard yakka to work out what an Aussie celebration should look like.

Nothing is sacred as the national identity is put through the wringer in this thoroughly modern ripper of a comedy!

Will the day be fair dinkum after all? Or are there too many roos loose in the local scout hall?

Guests are encouraged to wear their best Aussie costumes with cabaret seating for tables of eight.

Drinks and snacks available for purchase at the Club Please note there are some adult themes with some coarse language.

DATES: Friday, August 4, 7.30pm, Saturday, August 5, 2pm and 7.30pm, Friday, August 18 7.30pm, Saturday, August 19, 2pm and 7.30pm, Sunday, August 20 2pm, Friday August 25 7.30 pm and Saturday, August 26 2pm.

Get your tickets to party 2017 marks Twin Towns 60th birthday and to cap off a special year of celebrations, a spectacular Electric 80s New Year’s Eve dance party will be held in the Showroom on Sunday 31 December, with the first round of tickets on sale on 1 September.

New Year’s Eve is undoubtedly the biggest night of every year at Twin Towns. CEO Rob Smith said the plan this year is to spread the party and the crowds evenly throughout the Club, lessening demand on bars and entertainment areas on Level 1.

“Twin Towns is one of the few venues in Australia where you can double your fun on New Year’s Eve. “The DST time warp means you can welcome the New Year at midnight NSW, then celebrate again at midnight Qld and that makes Twin Towns one of the busiest

New Year’s Eve venues around.

“For the first time this year, Level 3 will open after the Showroom concert for those 350 people with VIP tickets, who will have access to a private bar with DJ and 80s themed music, and the best viewing deck for the fireworks over Jack Evans Boat Harbour.

“We expect the first round will be the hottest tickets in town and likely to be snapped up in a matter of weeks,” said Rob.

Veterans, their families and friends, Twin Towns members and the general public are invited to attend.

Electric 80s features music from Roxette, Pseudo Echo, Kiss, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, Bananarama, Misex, Wham, Billy Idol, B52’s, Madonna, Eurythmics, Devo, Blondie, Bon Jovi, Cyndi Lauper and more.

The fully costumed and choreographed Electric 80s concert will appeal to all ages.

The 80s was the decade of excess and outrageous fashions and it’s expected the Showroom will be awash with flairs and fluro, shoulder pads and parachute pants, big hair, big earrings and big gold chains.

Performed by a six-piece band featuring some of Australia’s best 80s musicians and vocalists, the show brings to life a decade of bright, bold and colourful dance music, with the best of the electronic early Eighties through

Like Whitney, if you need to “Dance with somebody” or like Devo, “Whip It”, or can’t resist the opportunity to pull out the navyblue mascara, yellow eyeshadow and a jumpsuit, this is one night of the year you can’t miss!

Vietnam Vets Day On Friday 18 August 2017, a service to honour Vietnam Veterans on the 51st Anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan will be held in the Memorial Gardens at South Tweed Sports Club, Minjungbal Drive, Tweed Heads South at 11am.

to the explosion of pop culture songs in the late Eighties.

Former servicemen and women, representatives of Tweed Heads & Coolangatta RSL-Sub-branch and Twin Towns, and local dignitaries will lay wreaths during the ceremony.

Twin Towns Board Chairman Michael Fraser said Vietnam Veterans Day is an important occasion and the opportunity for the community to remember

and honour the sacrifices made by those who served in the Vietnam War. “This day commemorates the 108 brave ANZACS who battled an estimated 1,500 to 2,500 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops in a rubber plantation not far from the village of Long Tan on 18 August 1966.

“Eighteen Australians lost their lives and 24 were wounded in the Battle of Long Tan, which was one of the heaviest conflicts of the Vietnam War and one the few battles in the recorded history of the world to be won against such odds.

“In the early years, many within the Australian public deserted our Vietnam Vets despite their massive sacrifice and we need to recognise their service and time at war, under Government direction, to protect all Australians and our way of life."

Vietnam Vets Day will take place at the Memorial Gardens at South Tweed Sports Club.

More than 3,000 Australians were wounded in the Vietnam War from 1962 to 1972 and 521 lost their lives, including 200 National Servicemen.

CLUBNEWS www.twintowns.com.au BOARD CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 60 years and still going strong (continued) During those early years there was a period of consolidation to strengthen the membership and continually grow the social inclusion for members and the community. It is worth mentioning some of the idiosyncrasies that belonged to those early years.

Typical of the time, Twin Towns was a bit of a boys’ club for exservicemen and until the 1977 AntiDiscrimination Act was enacted, there were parts of the Club reserved for just male members.

Some may remember the long circular bar with the cheese and biscuits station, ‘The Members Bar’, and when packed on a Friday evening, you knew every ‘male’ member.

It was a sanctuary particularly for ex-servicemen and other boys to relax and reminisce. These exservicemen and male members respected and tolerated the AWAS, Australian Women’s Army Service until seventeen other ladies took the Club to the AntiDiscrimination Board after which the whole model had to change and as it turned out, was in the best interests for membership growth and broader participation.

One of the original internal clubs, The Diggers AIF Swimming Club, formed in 1969, the first being the Sailing Club formed in 1967 with swimmers then part of an all-male bastion swimming in the Snapper Rocks Pools (the Jack Evans Porpoise Pools, Jack being the founding President).

Swimming in those tidal pools, at times you would be missing, engulfed in foam or find yourself on the wrong side of the wall in a big sea. Then afterwards the swim was celebrated in the old Boyd’s fishing shed hanging out over the Tweed River practically under the rattler of a wooden bridge announcing the entrance to Tweed Heads.

From the day the Diggers invited ladies to swim they have never looked back, however the female addition was too much for some who left for male only clubs.

The evolution of the Internal Clubs involved the Friday Night Sports night run by Directors, where snooker, indoor carpet bowls, darts, table tennis, a rifle shoot and cards took place, followed by some wonderful snacks and a few beers.

In 1989 Sub-club membership totalled 10,127 participants with $160,000 paid out in assistance.

There are now eighteen very successful Internal Clubs run by dedicated volunteers encouraging social interaction with membership funded partly by the Club.

Ironically a strong Rifle Club member, Life Member Bobby Neal, received a stern letter of

2

rebuke from the committee in those formative years for daring to enter the male domain of the Sports Rooms.

For many years until recently, a fully equipped Rifle Club Shooting Range located on the ground floor adjacent to the old bottle shop and rear club entrance behind the original RSL Hall and ANZAC Room had a strong Internal Club membership, with regular competitions during the week and Saturday.

The long-term President of the day and past Director, Life Member Vic Faley, very reluctantly accepted that times were a-changing and the rifle range area was critical to future extensions. This space is now taken up by the 1st on Wharf Sports Bar, the TAB and staff areas.

Always a contentious issue then and now was the Club’s dress code.

Gone are the days when ties were required for members for either one of the two dinner sittings on a Friday and Saturday night (ties were provided after a deposit was paid for those not equipped), where full guerdon service was a sight to behold and a delicacy to test your palate.

Other dress code issues that come to mind are how to make a judgement call for a smartly dressed lady wanting to enter the club in a much too short mini skirt who after a quick change is acceptable in hot pants. My, how times have changed and I am not sure whether for better or for worse.

By the 1980s The ANZAC Room, home of the Sub-Branch meetings, was used as a disco on some nights. T.T’s at times became so overcrowded it seemed there were more security than patrons, resulting in the garden trampling exercise and all else that results from raucous behaviour.

This trial wasn’t acceptable and quickly reverted back to The ANZAC Room’s original intent to look after functions for ex-servicepersons, members and community.

Prior to the Coolangatta/Tweed locality developing into a metropolis of restaurants, coffee shops and shopping centres, Twin Towns supported seven kitchens all providing great food for a multitude of dining outlets.

One of the lesser known restaurants that probably suffered from out-of-sight, out-of-mind at that time was the Level 5 Carvery Bistro. This Carvery Bistro served a fabulous array of meals for many a satisfied member and was backed up on the same Level with one of the best collections of fine wines emanating from the Directors who were members of The Beef and Burgundy Club.

Later the new generation of Directors just couldn’t justify having well over a million dollars’ worth of vintage wines in storage

ISSUE 481, August 2017

and consequently the collection was sold off with resulting revenues going back to support members.

Twin Towns Sports Club (now Club Banora) was completed due to Des Leonard (Sports Club Manager) presenting a paper at a Strategic Planning weekend to encourage the opening of Level 2 which the Board agreed to adopt.

Remembering the total shell of the building was constructed in 1986 the upstairs area was not fitted out and opened until 1992, the first year Twin Towns hosted the Registered Clubs Association Conference there for 1,500 delegates which was the first of seven conferences at the Club.

Mick Winders once stated: “The name of the game is progress and this is the theme of survival”; a simple yet true philosophy. There was a period of consolidation during the 80s and 90s while the Club continued to gather up opportunities despite being confronted with many an obstacle.

In 1985 the Tweed Heads Hotel was purchased, an important piece of the proposed western block development. It traded successfully until its demolition in 1999 with the Licence later transferred to the Resort Hotel. The regulators later blocked Clubs owning Hotels, however, Twin Towns retained the existing use right.

Although Twin Towns carried on regardless, the opening of Jupiter’s Casino in February 1986 caused an initial revenue downturn of almost 36%, part of which was recovered the following year.

The 1987 Stock Market crash and a mini-recession, followed by the Pilots Dispute and last but not least, a new Labor Government in Queensland introducing 15,000 poker machines, again resulted in a 19% fall in revenue but the club withstood the challenges.

The vision of HG Winders continued with his Board strategy of purchasing important property opportunities, expanding existing facilities, growing the business, giving back to members and all this against many a sceptic’s belief that all would come crashing down.

Once again, the Strategic Plan proved correct especially for the long-term future.

The pride and joy of Banora Sports Club was the magnificent 18 hole golf course but its surrounding moat was inundated with salt in 1990 as a result of a developer’s bund collapsing on a neighbouring property, destroying all the greens after the irrigation came on.

The resulting research discovered the course had a limited life due to the peat sub-structure collapsing and the insurers paid only a proportion of the total insurance claim.

Restoration, although providing sensational new greens, was additionally funded by Twin Towns to the tune of $287,000.

Despite the best professional scientific brains in the country endeavouring to prove the structural research wrong and to find a solution to the collapsing peat swamp, all the research came to the same conclusion which we later discovered was correct.

Unfortunately, the core of the swamp collapsed and severe cracking after 31 years caused the closure of 9 holes and inevitably, the balance may follow.

Meanwhile we continue to maintain the course operating 9 holes to the best of our ability for the enjoyment of golf for members and community.

In 1991 Club Keno was introduced to Clubs and although slow at first, created an important revenue stream that continues to grow and benefit all concerned especially Twin Towns Clubs and Resorts.

Mick Winders stood down in January 1993 after 43 years at the helm and sadly passed away in 1997. Tony Mitchell was elected to the board in 1987 and became Chairman in 1993.

Tony had a long family association with Tweed and the Club and even worked as a barman while studying Commerce Law at the University of NSW during the late 70s before setting up a law practice in Tweed Heads in 1985.

Although HG Winders had left a strong platform for others to follow, economic circumstances had changed. The recessionary trends, low interest rates for investors, the Casino, Queensland poker machines including the granting of poker machines to hotels and tougher regulation made revenue tight and the giving had to be reined in.

Increasing sporting fees and withdrawing some member benefits to put a much tighter control on fiscal management was not an option, especially with Banora losing around $800k per annum.

It was obvious that if Banora revenue losses continued, drastic measures would be needed to prevent draining the revenue stream from the main club.

Terranora Lakes Country Club, Tweed Rowing and Aquatic Club and Seagulls (the original Club) all failed but Twin Towns weathered the storm and continued the imperative strategy to reinvest and reinvent to grow the business.

The 20 years of meticulous planning saw the western car park and overhead bridge to the main club open in 1997. Stage 2 consisting of 87 two and three bedroom apartments, the residential Ocean Tower and the 120 room hotel, opened in October 1999.

At one stage due to Tweed Shire Council negativity the whole project was shelved. However, sooner than later, Council saw the massive benefits of the first international hotel in Tweed and the project proceeded.

A search for a joint venture partner failed to materialise so the Club proceeded alone. The first tower was built with a non-recourse loan and the apartments sold mostly by ballot. The ultimate result was the apartments paid for the hotel and carpark, providing the club with a $10 million asset complete with an accommodation revenue stream.

The Harbour Tower commercial accommodation tower followed in 2004. We should never forget the tragic accident during the pouring of the foundations for the car park

Ph: 07 5536 2277

stage 1, when on a windy day a crane collapse saw two construction workers, Wayne Master and Rodney Taula lose their lives.

Twin Towns’ bottom line was again challenged when the Tweed Heads by-pass behind the airport to Nerang was constructed. This, along with the Wharf Street beautification project, reduced visitor numbers significantly, heightened by the hotel and unit tower construction on the western side of the club. All this construction was viewed as an inevitable future boon for the Club.

The Club industry in 2000 fought tooth and nail including a march down Macquarie Street in Sydney to have the Labor government renege on their proposal to dramatically increase taxes to clubs which expert studies determined would have been disastrous for the industry.

Fortunately, the government budget in 2001 did not include these draconian taxes.

The introduction of the GST in 2000 was another issue that involved a five month transition which, although difficult at first, was manageable. Just another challenge for the business to work through.

To stay in front of the game and to further enhance the internal and external appearance of the Club, the spectacular millennium tower built by Barclay Mowlem was completed in 2001.

Once again, years of research went into adding this new dimension, opening up the internal appearance and providing expansive viewing from one end to the other, eliminating many a wall, corridors and boardroom.

This $11 million circular tower provided lounge and gaming areas on Level 1, additional dining space on level 4 (2) and the magnificent Stars lobby area next to the Showroom on Level 6.

The exterior view of the massive glass facia also provided a fabulous new look and of the $6 million loan, only $1.3 million was drawn down.

South Tweed Rugby League Football Club established on mostly reclaimed land provided

by Council for a club and playing fields, experienced dire financial difficulties on a number of occasions.

Council bailed the club out on one occasion to the tune of $90,000, however, a second request was denied and the NAB placed them into receivership.

Twin Towns saw an opportunity and purchased the defunct club at a receiver’s auction in Brisbane for $717,000. After a $250,000 facelift and years regaining the required licences, the Twin Towns Juniors Club re-opened in 2002.

An old grandstand and shed were replaced with a family-friendly grassed area and barbecue with the overriding intention to direct profits to community junior sport which has proven to be most beneficial.

So many stories, so little time.

I have consumed my allocated space and hope you have enjoyed the brief 60 year ride.

Good health and I look forward to catching up around our clubs.

Goodman swings again at Twin Towns If you love the music of the King of Swing Benny Goodman, and enjoy getting out and about for daytime shows, Goodman Swings Again on the third Monday of the month is the perfect excuse to leave the housework behind and dance away an afternoon at Twin Towns.

crowdDJ lets you choose music you want to hear With over 40 million songs in the world today, the hard part is working out what visitors to Twin want to hear. Problem solved!

The latest music innovation sweeping the country is a virtual jukebox app called crowdDJ, and this new technology will be installed in the Harbour Lounge at Twin Towns by late August.

CrowdDJ is a collaborative music system that allows anyone in the room to contribute to the playlist, in breaks between bands and artists on stage.

Loaded with a library of music that covers all genres and handpicked to cater for all ages, the soundtrack of your next visit can be steered by you or anyone in the room.

Creators of crowdDJ have teamed up with global streaming giant Spotify to create the revolutionary crowdDJ app, which offers high quality audio and video, played through the Club’s existing sound systems.

If you need some assistance with crowdDJ, ask the friendly staff in the Harbour Lounge and they will show you how easy it is to choose your own tunes at Twinnies.

(Continued from page 1) Cross’s debut self-titled 1981 album featured international hit songs Sailing, Ride Like the Wind and Never Be The Same. It won five Grammy Awards, including – for the first time ever – the four most prestigious awards: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year (for the hit Sailing) and Best New Artist.

Cross has worked with music greats, sharing the stage with Mike McDonald, who sang backing vocals on Ride Like The Wind and sang backing vocals with Carl Wilson on David Lee Roth’s version of California Girls.

Early in his career Cross and his band opened for Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull. In 1970, he stepped in for Ritchie Blackmore from Deep

Purple for a show in San Antonio.

Cross continues to tour and record, releasing albums and contributing to film and TV soundtracks. He wrote Lemon’s Theme for the hit TV series 30 Rock.

A new album scheduled for this year – title and release date to be confirmed – is a follow up to 2014’s Secret Ladder.

Goodman Swings Again is the passion of five dedicated jazz veterans, all of whom are still actively involved in the music industry on the Gold Coast.

Featuring Trevor Rippingale on clarinet and sax, Colin Jones on trumpet, John Edwards on bass, Owen Smith on drums and Harry Lynn on keys, this three hour show brings together a group of musicians whose depth of talent and experience spans decades.

Goodman, an American jazz clarinet player of the 1920s, 30s, 40s and beyond, came to fame as the host of a radio show called Let’s Dance.

Throughout his career, Goodman never changed his style to conform to the latest trends but retained the original sound that defined the Swing Era and made him the world-renowned King of Swing.

In 1986, the year he passed away, Goodman was awarded an honorary doctorate degree in music from Columbia University and a Grammy Award for Lifetime Achievement.

Goodman Swings Again: Monday 21 August, 12.30pm-3.30pm and every third Monday of the month at The Stage at Twin Towns.

MASTERS SWIMMING Winter is here, but the pool is enjoyably warm. Congratulations to Ron Richards who has achieved

DIGGERS SWIMMING We were one of the clubs invited by the Dolphins Club to a swim a few weeks back at the Jack Evans Boat Harbour. Rosie McDermott misjudged the depth of the water and on diving in made a funny sight skimming across the sand. This was one of many misdemeanours that drew fines later at the social gathering. Several members have been away on jaunts - Jen Annett to Europe, the Deegenaars and the Frasers travelled in different directions towing their caravans.

Recently Mike Fraser and Ross O’Leary sponsored hamburgers post swim and these were cooked

by Peter Romano. Thanks guys.

GOLF A special welcome to new members who have joined the Club in recent weeks. Presentations on Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays are great times to meet and enjoy friendships that mark our Club.

With Spring only a few weeks away, golfers will increasingly see works to repair and protect vulnerable areas. Top dressing and levelling of tees and the crossover area between the 9th and 18th fairways is a priority, along with the development of new mounds on the right side of the 1st fairway near the water. Golfers are asked to keep off all GUR areas and as they come into play, take extra care with motorised buggies.

Congratulations to Alan and Lyn Simpson who are the 2017 Club Mixed Foursomes Champions and to Barry and June McFadden, Division 2 winners after defeating

FISHING First place in the comp for July went to Rod with a combined total weight of 3.56kg. Equal second was Eric and Ferdi and third was Tina. The catch of the day was a magnificent 40cm Dart caught by Russell which had a 10cm gouge above its head.

The fish had fully regrown its skin and scales to completely recover from an old large predatory wound.

What a lucky fish! The next Fishing Club comp will be Sat/ Sun 5 and 6 August and the BBQ weigh-in location this month will be advised.

Young masters of baize It might be billed the ultimate gentleman’s sport, but the Twin Towns Snooker Club might yet turn that premise on its head.

One of the world’s best women players Jessica Woods learned the sport, aged 12, playing alongside her father and brothers on the fullsized billiards and snooker tables at Twin Towns Snooker Club. She now travels the world playing tournaments.

The club’s youngest recruits, meanwhile, are yet to reach their teens.

Cooper Thomson, 10, and Kane Miller, 12, attend weekly coaching sessions with Twin Towns Snooker Club President Peter Campbell and other senior players. They also practice whenever they can with their dads.

The pair play games that keep players many years their seniors on their toes.

“Just the other night, we started one of those young lads on a 40 handicap and he just cleaned

up, causing a player of some experience embarrassment,” Mr Campbell laughed.

Twin Towns Snooker Club meets at Club Banora on Tuesday, Thursdays and most Sundays. Many members compete in district comps.

Cooper and Kane meet for lessons and matches on Fridays from 5pm. Mr Campbell said with both improving, it was only a matter of time before both were good enough to compete in junior tournaments, if that was what they wanted.

“They’re little fellas, but they’ve really picked it up and improve week after week. You can see they love it,’’ he said.

“They hate losing to each other and they won’t play a shot if they think they’ll miss and leave the other up for the next shot. They’re real little characters.”

Snooker is a cue sport which originated in Jabalpur, India, in the latter part of the 19th century.

Played on a table covered with

green cloth or baize, players use a cue to strike a white cue ball to pot 22 coloured balls in sequence, accumulating points for each pot.

Australian stars of the sport include the late Eddie Charlton, who was a three times world championship runner-up in snooker and billiards through the 1970s and 80s and Neil Ferguson, a left-handed Australian based in Cambridge who won the 2010 World Championships and ranks seventh in the sport today.

Mr Campbell hopes to recruit more juniors to the club on Friday nights. He said a club tradition that allowed youngsters to play alongside parents and grandparents had produced players including Australian women’s champion Woods and the club’s current secretary, Jack Malone, who has played at Twin Towns since age 16.

Parents of juniors interested in learning the game of snooker at Club Banora should contact president Peter Campbell on 0481 342 289.

Receiving expert tuition from senior players at the Snooker Club at Club Banora are up and coming stars, Cooper Thomson and Kane Miller

DUNKIRK Most people by now will have heard about the phenomenal success of the film Dunkirk and will be looking forward to experiencing it on local screens. The movie is the latest masterpiece by director Christopher Nolan, who in fifteen years’ span has gone from directing low-budget independent films to working on some of the biggest and most spectacular films ever made like The Dark Night Rises, Interstellar etc.

His latest, Dunkirk, tells the well-known WW II story of the more than 300,000 allied soldiers from the United Kingdom, Belgium and France who, surrounded by the German army, were successfully evacuated from the French seaside city of Dunkirk. The film’s narrative – the script is written by Nolan himself, who got the idea of the film twenty five years earlier after sailing with his wife across the English Channel to Dunkirk - follows three major threads covering different periods of time: one beginning on land and covering one week, one on the sea and covering one day, and one in the air covering one hour. These are interwoven in a non-linear narrative.

book at victoryhotel1@bigpond.com Ticket prices are $15 adults, $10 youth (10-17 years), under 9s free and $30 per family with two adults and three children inclusive. All children aged under 18 must be accompanied by a paying adult.

Tickets at the door are $25 adults, $15 youths. Purchase at Trybooking.com

The film, featuring an ensemble cast, employs thousands of extras, and also makes extensive use of genuine effects, such as gathering boats that had participated in the real Dunkirk evacuation, and using genuine era-appropriate planes for aerial sequences.

The extensive film pre-production research included survivors’ firsthand accounts that inevitably have some inconsistencies among them — a phenomenon Nolan ingeniously incorporates into his screenplay, suggesting the innumerable different ways people experience, and then remember, momentous events.

advised him to accept assistance from others “At that time Stan Grant came around the corner while Johnny was eating his breakfast and waiting for the tow truck. We had a lovely chat about our experiences and this was aired on Stan Grant’s ABC program ‘The Link’ along with the other stories from Chinderah. All this lead me to Moofest.”

All funds raised on the day will be distributed by a community committee comprising a lawyer, accountant, an 1JO entertainment and arts services representative, Burringbar and Mooball community representatives and a Tweed Shire Council representative.

The festival will incorporate plenty of live music across three stages, markets, food vans and raffles starting at 12pm and concluding at 6pm.

Burringbar local Matty Rogers will take the stage along with Le Fun Grande, Adam Hole Band, Phil Barrow & the Wolf, Hell ‘n’ Whisky and Mr Ed.

THE VICTORY Hotel at Mooball will host Moofest this Sunday, August 6 to raise funds for the floodaffected villages of Mooball and Burringbar.

Moofest organiser Joanne Sapphire said she wanted to give back to the community after witnessing firsthand the devastation of the March 31 flood.

“I also assisted anyone in the area that had been affected by the Floods in March this year via other groups on social media,” she said.

“I was personally effected by the floods but only minimally in comparison to others. I found people needed support and advice.

“I was with Johnny E Shaker at the time organising to get his car out of the mud so he could return to somewhat normality. He was adamant that he wanted to get back to work. I also

THE TWEED Shire’s over 80s are being invited to a special event on September 10 at the Murwillumbah Services Club to party like it’s 1937.

One of several organisers Bob Watson wrote to The Weekly recently making a call for those born in 1937 or around that year.

“Many in the local Tweed and surrounding Community were born in this significant year (or thereabout) and a gathering is being planned for September to celebrate and reminisce the years that have gone ever so quickly,” he said.

“Lyn Beck, Mary Mummery and myself have formed a small committee to organise a reunion and they would like to welcome these terrific 80-year-olds to share this year with so many famous people some of whom have unfortunately left us.

“Ten years ago, we held a similar celebration which was a huge success.”

Olympic identities such as Dawn Fraser, John Devitt, Ron Clarke, Golfer Bruce Devlin, Rugby League players Barry Muir, Peter Gallagher, Novelist Colleen McCullough, Actor Lorraine Bayly, Business Men Lindsay Fox and Kerry Packer, High Court Judge Ian Callinan, and former Governor General Michael Jeffery share this significant year.

The celebration is planned for Sunday, September 10, at the Murwillumbah Services Club from noon.

Please indicate your attendance via phone or email to (07)5524 1563, (07)5524 8860, (07)5524 8716 or email marymummery@ bigpond.com or bobhwatson@gmail.com

HOW LONG has it been since you enjoyed your lunch break? If it has been a while, and you are located just around the corner from Ground Control Coffee at Tweed Heads South, this might be just the thing for you.

There is a revolutionary new way for you to bring a little piece of relaxation into your day before you head into a frantic Friday.

Jack O’Leary from The Family Centre is inviting local musicians to display their talents in the intimate Ground Control Coffee space.

On the third Thursday of each month there is free entertainment from 12pm to 2pm featuring local artists.

Last month Bill Jacobi joined Jack to give the lunchtime crowd a taste of his roots,

folk, and country tunes with a good dose of humour to get you in the mood.

Studies have shown that workers are more productive in the afternoon if they have a complete break from work at lunchtime.

Latest research is also showing that office workers face the biggest health risk from sitting all day and leaving your desk and taking a lunch break will actually prolong your life.

So let your boss know and head on over to Ground Control smell the coffee roasting, check out the art, enjoy great music and get some sunshine.

Keep an eye on The Family Centre Facebook page for dates and times and join Jerome Williams on Thursday, August 17.

Local athlete needs sponsorship to reach dream Window to clear Banora Point waterways closing followed by my world cup debut in October.

“I’d love to have a new sponsor on board throughout this exciting period in my career, and to build a strong relationship in years to come.”

Brandon has set out a plan, with achievable goals to help him reach his full potential.

“By the end of the year I hope to be ranked in the top 100 athletes in the world, place in the top 20 at the under

23 world championships, and record a top 10 finish in a world cup event,” he said.

“In the future, I would love to represent my country at the Commonwealth and Olympic games, and to win a triathlon world championship.”

Anyone wanting to find out more, or to get behind Brandon with some much needed sponsorship can email copelandtriathlete@gmail.com or phone 0451 414 859 (leave a message).

AS THE window to reduce noxious weeds from the Banora Point waterway begins to close this month, Banora Point local John Sydenham has again raised concerns over the need for Tweed Shire Council to act on aquatic overgrowth, which he says is clogging up the system.

Mr Sydenham has had on-going concerns with the manmade waterways for more than 12 months and prior to a mass fish die off in early April 2016.

Mr Sydenham acknowledged that efforts so far had helped some of the bird life to return to the waterways, but he said much more work was required to ensure their long-term future.

“The Banora Point ratepayers deserve a regular maintenance schedule that’s affective, but remains mindful of the rare birdlife that inhabit the waterways,” Mr Sydenham said.

“The window for that affective time to clear the waterways of weeds is closing, with only weeks to go before the season for nesting starts.”

Mr Sydenham said he’s concerned extended periods without rain, combined with rapidly moving aquatic weeds could starve the water of oxygen.

“You leave this to clog up for too long and you’ll soon see the fish rising to the top again,” he said.

The Weekly sent several questions to Councillors and Tweed Shire Council staff for a response on waterway issues, which will be updated in next week’s edition.

EMERGING TRIATHLETE and Kingscliff local Brandon Copeland, 20, is having an incredible year on the circuit as he prepares for the Yeppoon Triathlon on Sunday, August 6, followed by the Under 23 Triathlon World Championships in mid-September.

A relative newcomer to the elite sport, Brandon has been competing as a triathlete since 2011 and has been racing as a professional since 2015.

But it’s his passion and determination that are driving him towards outstanding results while balancing 25-hours of training per week with a part time construction job.

“During this time, I have progressed from a beginner to recently having qualified for the Australian Elite Under 23 Triathlon team to compete in the world championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands,” he said.

Brandon finished second in last Sunday’s Gamagori ASTC Sprint Triathlon Asian Cup, his first international podium, in Japan and crossed the line in second place in the men’s event at the Gatorade Queensland Tri Series at Robina.

But like many up-and-coming athletes, Brandon is in need of support and sponsorship who he can represent with pride, whilst helping him financially to progress his triathlon career.

“This past year for myself has been a roller coaster, beginning with a training accident in which I broke two bones in my arm and wrist, however after a tough period I bounced back to have my best season to date so far,” he said.

“This season will culminate with the world championships in September,

though.

13th – Bulldogs – on par with Souths and very disappointing. Rumblings about Des being booted all year, Josh Reynolds moving on, some ordinary performances and losing six straight at one stage. Some new personnel moving next year might help but Des needs to mix some things up.

12th – Titans – Ash Taylor has really come of age and will be the long term halfback, but they just seem to lose the close games and by the end of the year are on an early Mad Monday. The Hayne Plane has produced minimal for them.

Maybe they need to start recruiting some more local kids into their structure going forward.

11th – Warriors – A punters nightmare.

On paper such a quality looking team

I thought with 5 rounds to go I might give an update on my thoughts on the NRL teams.

16th Newcastle- great to see them get a win over the pitiful Dragons on the weekend. Three wins is not enough but they need to build fast and have recruited well for 2018.

15th Tigers – a real rabble off the field.

A new strong coach in Ivan Cleary gives them hope but they will not be successful for a long time unless the front office and in fighting is sorted.

14th – Souths – a real disappointment in 2017. Struggled to find any sort of consistency and are at times really hard to watch. Their worst is terrible and they rely far to heavily on the courageous Sam Burgess. He needs a lot more help. Have unearthed a real find in Angus Crichton

Footy Tipping Gurus POINTS LADDER

but the NZ style of footy cruels them too often. Their best is so good to see but they lack a huge amount of consistency.

Kieran Foran has done his best but the injury to the enigmatic Shaun Johnston finished them.

10th – Raiders – early money was on them pushing for a Premiership in 2017.

Those blokes have done their dough cold. Real cold. A long way from the entertaining green machine in 2016 they have been extremely disappointing. The emergence of Nic Cotric, the probable rookie of the year about the only highlight.

I’ll leave it here and see how the weekend pans out in terms of the top 8.

Only 9 are in the mix and the fight for the bottom spot will be intense.

See you at the footy. Quinny

Offshore: lots of spangle emperor around the close reef of the tweed and Gold Coasts at the moment. Drift baits and plastics catching good size models this week. All the bigger snaps seem to be sitting in the deeper water. Try 100m line off of tweed, seaway, jumpinpin and tweed coast with micro’s, octa jigs, paternosta rigs and plastics. Mixed bag of reefies on the 24’s and 36’s with most caught on baits. Still the odd cobia, King and amber Jack hanging around always worth soaking a live for one of these brutes. Jew on isolated bombies and wrecks. Odd tailor sitting around the bombies.

Bait at Kirra, sand jetty, point reef and snapper reef.

Estuary: still heaps of jew around in the rivers and bay at the moment. Try the deeper holes with live bait and plastics.

Tailor in the river, try around Barney’s point, Boyds, Sea Way Wall, Wave Break Island rock wall and the mouth of the pin. Small plastics and small metals working best. Heaps of bream still schooling up on most rock wall on the coasts.

Luderick starting to school up on most rock walls. Try Tally, Currumbin, Barney’s point, tick gates, kingy, and Bruns rock wall with stringy weed. Gt and big eye feeding up on herring at the bridges of a night. Some big flat head in the systems at the moment. Try jumpinpin, back side of wave break island, piggery, Hastings river mouth. But most river mouths will produce good fish this weekend.

Beach: beaches will fish really well this weekend with the westerlies and no swell. Good gutters at northern NSW beaches. Soaking hole pilchards and hole worms seem to be catching better fish. Where metals at sun rise and sun set catching more tailor off the rocks. Try Fingal headland, south wall Kingy, Hasting Point, black rocks.

Hello, my name is Ronelle Herbert and I am a nationally accredited trainer with Certificate III in Dog Obedience and Behaviour Modification having qualified through National Dog Trainers Federation Australia. I decided to do this course due to training and behavioural issues I was experiencing with my two dogs, Foden and Elsie. I was proud of the success I experienced with my dogs and wanted to share my skills and knowledge to help other dog owners. In November 2011 I started DogYard. As a member of Pet Industry Association Australia (PIAA), I completed a Pet First Aid course which complemented the previously attained certificate in Animal Care Studies in 2005.

Having recently completed Certificate III in Canine Myofunctional Therapy,

offering massage for dogs seemed like a natural progression to my Remedial Therapies qualification in 1999. Massage can assist Sporting dogs, Working dogs, dogs with structural issues, or for general wellbeing and recovery. Some of the benefits include: • increased blood supply • elimination of toxic waste • increase nutrient supply • improved range of movement • reduced scar tissue • lengthening of connective tissue • breakdown and prevention of fibrosis • lessens body tension and muscle release There is no such thing as a bad dog.

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

Ever Heard of a Sacrificial Anode?

LIGHT N HEAVY VEHICLE REPAIRS

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 Cutaway section of a typical electric hot water heater

POLICE BEAT

Another climber rescued off Mt Warning Police investigating Tweed Heads South thefts

Emergency services rescuing the injured climber

A THIRD climber in the month of July was rescued off Wollumbin Mount Warning on Monday, July 31 after she fractured her ankle and was unable to climb down.

Murwillumbah SES, VRA and Murwillumbah Ambulance officers were tasked with hiking 2.5 kilometres up, which is about halfway, to bring the 26-year-old female down from the iconic Wollumbin National Park mountain.

The Murwillumbah SES said the summit track is a lot rougher after Ex-Cyclone Debbie’s rainfall, with numerous trees down along the track that have been cleared by the National Parks and Wildlife Services.

Murwillumbah SES Deputy Unity Controller John Macgregor-Skinner said the rescue was the third in July and follows a previous rescue at Numinbah.

Mr Macgregor-Skinner said a woman aged in her 60s had attempted to find the Bushman’s Track at Numinbah.

“She was walking back and it became extremely dark and she called for help due to visibility,” he said.

Mr Macgregor-Skinner said the woman was very able and a strong hiker, however the darkness hindered her ability to find the track so she decided to stay put and call for help.

An American tourist aged in her 50s was also rescued off Wollumbin Mt Warning on Saturday, July 8 after she suffered minor injuries from a fall near the top observation deck and was unable to descend.

Police said the woman was assisted down for about 100-metres to an emergency helicopter pad.

The helicopter then winched the woman off the mountain and flew her to The Tweed Hospital for assessment and treatment.

The officer told The Weekly that her injuries were not serious and only local rescue services were required at the scene.

The incidents have fueled further debate into the

impact and cost the rescues have to the Tweed’s services.

Kylie Hart said that climbers should contribute financially to local rescue services.

“Everyone who climbs Mt Warning should have to pay $80 per adult $40 per child,” she said.

“Half each goes to VRA and Westpac Helicopter Service, as they are constantly called to rescue climbers and they are charitable organizations. Either that or close it completely and the government can put up a huge fence to keep people out.

“Yes I’ve climbed it many years ago and I hurt my ankle but sucked it up and limped down. It was a great view but nothing that you can’t see from other safer spots.”

Michael Campbell disagreed and said only those who require rescuing should pay.

“Absolutely ridiculous idea,” he said.

“Everything these days cost so much money and you want to chuck yet another fee on such a beautiful natural place, that has so much history?

“I’m ok with them fining the people who need rescuing because they’ve gone off the track and been injured or got themselves lost, but how about leaving something for those that don’t have the money to fork out, yet still want to experience something so amazing.”

Anyone visiting Wollumbin Mt Warning is reminded that the trail is considered an advanced hike and can take up to six hours round trip.

Bowls Notes

with Judy Tuckey

Mixed Pairs duo Mark Smith and Glenda Dean will represent Tweed Byron at Region 1 play-offs.

CHAMPION OF Club Champion Championship Pairs, conducted at the Cudgen Leagues Bowls Club, whilst being reduced to five teams contesting the District crown, definitely provided good value in terms of high quality bowls delivered.

Jim Gibson and Garry Pickett (Cudgen Leagues) survived a tough encounter with Condong’s Joe Andrassey and Clyde Edmunds to go forward and challenge Kingscliff’s Ralph Bryan and Wayne Blackwood for a spot in the final. With little separating the teams during the early stages of the game, the Kingscliff duo picked up a four on the 11th end, then continued scoring during the following five ends to break away and take the game with a comfy margin.

Meanwhile, on the adjoining rink, Cabarita’s John Turner and Bill Creedon were lined up against Pottsville’s Phil Bennett and Mitch Goldsworthy vying for a berth in the final. Close scoring during the early ends saw the Caba lads just in front until the Potty boys fired up and took over.

Team Turner moved up a gear on the 12th end, collected a three and continued scoring well. At the completion of 18 ends and the score on 17-9 in Cabarita’s favour, the

Pottsville men fired up again. In a tense final seven ends team Turner was kept scoreless as Bennett and Goldsworthy reduced their deficit one shot at a time. However, time ran out and the Cabarita boys claimed the game 17-16.

The final of the C of CC pairs has unfortunately been postponed due to one of the players being side lined due to injuries.

Story is that the lad came off a poor second following a nasty altercation with a ladder and is now nursing a bag full of bruised ribs and a badly strained ankle. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, mate.

Woolgoolba is the place to be this week for a feast of great bowling as Region 1 Women’s Championships between Mid North Coast, Clarence River, Northern Rivers and Tweed Byron districts are under way. Synthetic turf at the host club is par for the course that will have our girls (and Mark) working hard. Senior Pairs and Triples were played yesterday with Open and Senior Fours programmed for today.

Open Singles and Open Pairs are on Friday and Mixed Pairs are on the agenda for Saturday. Best wishes for every success to our Tweed Byron champions at this event.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone

THE AUSTRALIAN Surfmasters had to suffer from marginal wave conditions over the past few days, but some good results went the way of some local Tweed surfers.

Thomas Woods, of Burleigh Boardriders Club, won the Australian Open Title, with his junior club mate Liam O’Brien picking up 3rd place.

In the Open Women’s, teenage sensation and Coolangatta surfer Piper Harrison placed 3rd, a great effort for the year 11 student.

In the over 35 men’s, Jay Phillips was pipped at the post to pick up second place, and in the over 40s Cabarita’s Matt Hurworth ended up in equal 7th place bowing out in the semi-finals.

Competition in the remaining divisions continued on Wednesday, with still the Longboard, Logger, and Bodyboard Titles to be held.

The Australian Surfmasters continues until August 14, with the event mobile from Duranbah all along the Tweed Coast.

Conditions are looking great for the next few days, and looks like the Longboarders will get the pick of the conditions.

Tweed Coast surfers in the Open Longboard division will include Dane Pioli, and Cabarita’s Ben Johnson, and in the over

with Terry ‘Tappa’ Teece

35s looking for another great result will be Dean “ Turbo” Bevan.

Gilmore Knocked-out by Wildcard in US Open

Kingscliff super girl Stephanie Gilmore’s dream of a seventh world title, just got a little tougher, after being knocked-out in the 2nd round of the US Open by French wildcard, Maud Le Car, and all her other major rivals progressing into round 3.

The conditions at Hiuntington Beach are not really suited to Gilmore, weak beach breaks, where the “Huntington Hop” has been perfected.

Gilmore will be looking for good results in the remaining events to get her world title challenge back on track, but defending world champion Tyler Wright will be a hard one to catch.

But if anyone can do it, Steph can. Action starts via WSL app or foxsports from about 12.30am local time for those insomniacs who want to watch.

Catch you in the waves.

Sailors race for glory on the Tweed THE TVSC is having a good run - ideal sailing conditions again last Sunday with a fresh northerly gusting to 18 knots and blue skies making for a refreshing afternoon.

With 18 boats space was tight at the start line and a closely fought first leg up to the windward mark saw John Hayward (Laser) out in front of the monohulls.

Lots of practice time between races and studying the “how to sail a Laser” books is really paying off for John - keeping ahead of his arch rival, ace Laser sailor Gary McCrohon, for part of the race.

Leading from start to finish, Toby and Anna Poulsen on the only multihull, a Nacra 5, dominated the race, finishing 3 laps while the monohulls were still on their second.

Line honours in the monohulls went to Glenn Slight and Kynan Luescher (NS14 “Radical Phase”) with Gary McCrohan second and John Haywood third, both on Lasers.

The Lasers also included Kate Yeomans, just returned from her first Masters titles in Brisbane and visitor Chris Ruston.

First time dinghy sailing Paul Foster looks like he’s found a winning team already with Mike Mansted on club boat Tasar “Hippocampus”.

Mike had his best race to date, for the first time beating all the corsair fleet to the finish, 5th across the line and taking first place in the handicap results. A big win for them.

Tim Brown sailed his Impulse round the nearly two hour course to take first on time corrected results (results adjusted for different types of boat).

Meanwhile in the three handed Corsairs, five boats competed. A big welcome to new member Josh Ferguson bringing another Corsair to the club racing for the first time on “SV Peggy” named after his grandmother with crew Grant Banning & Deborah Flannery. The Corsair fleet on the Tweed just keeps growing.

Leading the corsairs from start to finish was Club Commodore Bill Fenelon with crew Taj Krasna and Max Hennessy on 199 “Minnow”, all from Fingal head. Second placed “Melita III” with novice skipper Karen Vidler & crew Alison Blatcher & Marg Walgers was also showing good form staying close to Minnow and challenged for the lead at one stage.

Third Corsair had another first timer on board. Joc Steele from Fingal Head showed everyone it’s never too late to learn to sail, had a ball with Mark Reynolds and

Craig Foley on Corsair “Keenas” (look out for the mustard coloured hull).

This was a day for those who love a bit of adrenaline.

Those who withdrew early got to watch from the timekeepers tent.

One of the club best races this winter - with only one race to go in the series the competition will be hot on Sunday 13 August.

The club is looking for sponsors to advertise on the side of their brand new Rigid inflatable safety boat - contact tvscmail@gmail.com or call 0434 982 922 if your business would like to put a bid in for this advertsing opportunity.

And remember 20 August is the Condong to Fingal Head Marathon !

Men’s Results

The game between Kingscliff and Casuarina saw the return of Kingscliff local Nathan Eglinton who represented Australia at the 2004 Olympics and won a gold medal.

Nathan played all his junior Hockey with Kingscliff and Tweed and made his way into state teams and then onto the Australian team.

Nathan, aged 36, and his wife and two children lived in Perth for 19 years and only returned back home on Wednesday.

What does an Olympic gold medallist do on returning home but straight away sign up to play for his old beloved club Kingscliff.

The game played in Murwillumbah went all Kingscliff’s way in the first half with Nathan in the middle controlling the game and the young guns all playing well above themselves. Young drag flicker Matt Sing scored two goals for Kingscliff from short corners in the first half. The second half was completely different as Casuarina took control and scored two goals as Kingscliff’s structure fell apart and the game ended in a 2/2 draw.

The Waratah Bobcats had a hard fought game against Murwillumbah in Murwillumbah on Saturday. This tussle went right down to the wire when a deciding goal to the Waratah’s Josh Nowlan being the only difference in this game as the Waratah’s won 1/0.

On the Gold Coast on Sunday it was Burleigh who gained the points with a 7/3 win over the Roosters. This was a much closer game except for a five minute lapse in concentration by the Roosters which saw Burleigh score four quick goals.

Mudgeeraba out played Capri and had a somewhat easy game 5/0.

CLOSE UP -the fights on ! Chris Ruston (Laser) Lex Branch (Impulse) Glenn Slight (NS14) Bill Fenelon (Corsair) Alison Blatcher (Corsair)

Mullumbimby Suns were outplayed by Mudgeeraba and after being down 4/0 at half time could not recover and came away losers 5/1.

Waratah Falcons had a real tussle against the Roosters. The game had an injury break just before half time with the game locked at 0/0. An ambulance had to be called as a Roosters player injured her ankle. With 20 minutes left to play both team were pumped but it was the Waratahs who scored the winning goal with brilliant lead up work

by Bobbie Philip who passed onto Sharlia Porter who was in perfect position to deflect the winning goal for a Waratah 1/0 win.

Initial gum disease is known as gingivitis and occurs after just a few days if you do not brush your teeth. As the plaque (bacteria biofilm) layers thicken, the salivary salts calcify this layer onto your teeth. Bacteria laden, the body’s defence system is activated to combat the bacteria, however, in the process the gum and bone suffers loss. A slow chronic disease, supporting bone levels are lost and your teeth become mobile, leading to eventual tooth loss, if treatment is not performed.
