Doctors call for changes to paediatrics ward GavanSanders DENTURE CLINIC

doctors that they have been considering alternate models of community-based paediatric care, in place of the traditional in-patient paediatric ward model of care. “I believe this proposal for a community-based model of care put forward by the local doctors warrants further discussion.” The Weekly asked Dr Jones where current paediatric patients were being directed. “Currently, the majority of paediatric in-patient management occurs at The Tweed Hospital (TTH), which is a regional referral Level 5 hospital,” he said. “TTH has a dedicated team of medical and nursing staff with paediatric expertise to care for children requiring admission.”

THE MURWILLUMBAH Hospital Paediatrics Ward is back under the microscope this month with a move by local doctors to alter the model of care due to reduced paediatric admissions. Although unlikely to close, the Murwillumbah Paediatrics Ward could undergo a series of changes including the implementation of a community-based care model. The Weekly spoke to Northern NSW Local Health District Chief Executive Wayne Jones who said there was no decision to close the current paediatric in-patient beds at Murwillumbah and District Hospital. However, Dr Jones said a community-based model of care put forward by the local doctors “warrants further discussion”. Fears the ward could close were further compounded recently by an inquest into the 2014 death of new-born Jack Brandao-Magalhaes at Murwillumbah Hospital. “There is no decision to close the current paediatric in-patient beds at Murwillumbah District Hospital,” Dr Jones said. “The Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSW LHD) has been advised by the Murwillumbah Medical Staff Council that, due to advancements in the management of childhood illness, the need for children to be admitted into a hospital has significantly reduced. “These advancements, particularly in the areas of preventative health care and immunisation programs, have resulted in reduced paediatric admissions to Murwillumbah District Hospital. “NNSW LHD has been advised by local Murwillumbah

Inquest into baby Jack’s death concludes During the inquest into the death of new-born Jack, Paediatric neurologist Dr Michael Harbord said he may have lived if he was delivered via emergency c-section before he suffered a cardiac arrest. However, Dr Arbuckle and Dr Michael Harbord said if Jack survived there was a strong chance of brain damage due to the lack of oxygen and blood flowing to his brain during the labour. Jack’s cause of death was pinned down by the pair as hypoxia, a lack of oxygen to the brain for a prolonged period. The expert witnesses narrowed down the reason for Jack’s death to compressions on the umbilical cord during the labour limiting the flow of oyxgen.

paediatric services. “I will be guided by the experts on what is needed and especially the local doctors and if they say it can be done better than I am willing to listen and be part of that discussion.” Mr George said he supported views that all funds currently directed towards paediatrics services should continue to be, whether that be under a new service model or not. “I fully support the position of Dr Williams in that all current funds being directed towards paediatric services be quarantined for any new models of care. I will be taking this view to Wayne Jones the Chief Executive of NNSW LHD to secure the current funding for any changes that would benefit the local community,” he said. “I understand that no decision has been made and that the Local Health District in response to the letter from the medical professionals is organising further discussions to explore the issues raised and if the current funding could be used to develop a new model to support the children and families of Murwillumbah.”

Mr George heaped praise on those local doctors who were seeking alternative ways to best utilise Murwillumbah Hospital’s overnight beds. “I believe we should commend the lead taken by the local doctors at Murwillumbah,” he said. “The reality is that the overnight beds are not well used and instead of waiting for changes to be made by others they have initiated discussions to develop a new model of care that would result in enhanced community based

I am not in the way Contrary to Casey Walker’s claims (TVW 1/12/2016) Chris Cherry did vote for the Pottsville and District Men’s Shed and has kept her campaign promise. She supported a motion to defer a licence at the temporary Black Rocks site so that a permanent site could be found now. P&DMS already have a temporary home, so why waste public grant money and effort on another temporary site? Yes, the community has spoken. To date the total number of signatures against a men’s shed and/or for increased koala protection at Black Rocks is 129,941, of which 1,819 are from Pottsville. However, the loss of our endangered iconic koala forever is a matter of deep concern to people everywhere. If P&DMS are keen to plant koala trees, why haven’t they helped with Council’s Koala Connections tree plantings at the northern end of the Black Rocks Koala Activity Precinct? According to Council reports, P&DMS have stated that their aim is to expand their industriallike facility on the Black Rocks sports field, with no mention of planting trees in their list of proposed activities. There is no need for a men’s shed tree-planting base camp. Rehabilitation zones within the cleared land at the southern end of the KAP are already undergoing revegetation by the Dunloe sand mine. The land surrounding the Black Rocks sports field has naturally regenerated into koala habitat. The requirement for koala habitat within the Dunloe Park urban release is years

away and is the responsibility of the developer. There are no ‘hundreds of hectares of cleared farming land for koala habitat’, as claimed by Ms Walker. What qualifications does Ms Walker possess to claim that ‘the men’s shed will save koalas’ which completely contradicts the conclusion reached by koala expert Dr Steve Phillips in his report to the Environmental Defenders Office that ‘in his opinion there is a strong likelihood of a significant impact on koalas if the men’s shed at Black Rocks proceeds’? I am not getting in the way of tree-planting efforts, as claimed by Ms Walker. To the contrary, I am a Koala Connections treeplanting volunteer. Dave Norris, President of the Threatened Species Conservation Society Inc, Pottsville

Where’s the proof of this deposit on shed In reply to Dr Rassaby`s letter (TVW 1/12/16) I would like to see his information on the so called non-re-fundable deposit on a concrete slab for the Men`s Shed as my investigation informs me that there was a deposit paid on the shed and the shed has now been manufactured and supplied there has been no mention of the slab, so please report facts not Green fabrication and manipulation of their interpretation of the truth. Malcolm Lawrence Pottsville

Good job Councillors I applaud the decision of Council to reject the application by Coles to build a service station on the Roundhouse Tavern site. As stated by others it is an inappropriate site and would cause smaller service station operators out of business. Coles is not interested in the economic welfare of small town businesses but is about increasing their profits. Coles has shown their greed by impinging on the business of newsagents and pharmacies. Will Coles accept Council’s decision or show themselves to be a typical bully and want to pick a fight? Gerry Matthews, Kielvale

Consider our volunteers International Volunteer Day is a time for us to reflect on the immense contribution volunteers

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals make to our society and thank them for all that they do. Red Cross is an organisation built on voluntary service, made up of 17 million volunteers worldwide. Volunteers help us save lives, build resilient communities, support people in disaster, and prevent and alleviate human suffering in times of war and conflict. Every day throughout the year our 35,000 members and volunteers in Australia improve the wellbeing of those who are experiencing extreme vulnerability. I can’t thank them enough for their time, energy and commitment, and I feel privileged to work alongside them. Voluntary service not only helps the recipients, but also the volunteers whose lives are enriched by the act of giving. We aim to build an inclusive, diverse and active humanitarian movement based on voluntary service. I strongly urge you to join our humanitarian movement and help your community by visiting redross.org.au/volunteering. Penny Harrison, Director, Volunteering Australian Red Cross

Preserve what’s great about our region As were many others, I was heartened to hear that the Coles Express project may not be “done and dusted” after all (TVW 24/11/16). This is a great opportunity for Tweed Shire Council to show that it is a truly worthy recipient of recent awards, such as a Highly Commendable Award in this year’s Keep Australia Beautiful Blue Star Sustainability Awards for NSW, and winner of the ‘Best Planning Ideas – Small Project’ category at the Planning Institute of Australia’s (PIA) NSW Awards for Planning Excellence, for the Council’s Rural Villages Strategy. Perhaps it can now turn its thinking caps to one of our larger communities and how it can conserve the unique identity that is Murwillumbah - a country town that is a fine mix of peoples, ideas and architecture. The redevelopment of the Round House Tavern site as a welcoming entrance to the town’s centre would add to the

current Rainforest Information Centre and Hogan’s Park quarter, as would the development of the lovely old railway station into an arts/small commercial precinct. South Murwillumbah is a funky, creative spot and such development could only enhance the creative space there. And speaking of precincts, what of “The Precinct”, a 26-townhouse development planned for Church Lane (four levels, with a lift and underground carpark). The hill behind the Police Station and Courthouse is one of the earliest settled spots in Murwillumbah. What a shame to take away the ‘olde-worlde’ atmosphere that exists there. And this is not to mention the problems that a hugely increased population would create for Church Lane itself - not exactly a major thoroughfare. It seems that Tweed Shire Council is looking for more ratepayers; but who will fund the required infrastructure of such new population? Perhaps our newly-[re]elected Councillor Polglase (who doesn’t support a development which he believes “is simply the wrong location and wrong fit for that site”) and his colleagues will visit the site and understand part of what is at stake for our town’s future planning. Sarah Gornall, Murwillumbah

Coles Express should have been approved As a resident of the area I was disappointed to hear that Coles Express was not approved by Tweed Shire Councillors. The town needs it. We have a Coles supermarket where locals get the fuel vouchers but cannot use them because we do not have a Coles Express. It would have created jobs. If the position was ok for a pub that had topless barmaids. Not allowing a servo seems a little off. What about prosperity and the growing of the town. The Coles Express sites are clean and modern. I’d rather look at a servo than a pub. Come on tweed council. Grow a bit and stop hurting the locals by not allowing growth. It will not hurt the other servos. If they give good service, they will keep their local customers. Murwillumbah is still back in the 70s it’s the prettiness of the area

that brings in the people not the town. Let’s start giving everyone a better town. Lyn Lack, Murwillumbah

Great job on Coles site I’m extremely pleased to see that the Council has knocked back Coles plan to build another Service Station on the site of the Roundhouse Pub. What can we put in it’s place? Years ago there was a thriving cooperative craft shop, which began in the site of the now Liquorland in Sunnyside. It then moved upstairs, and was there for some time. It did a roaring trade. I know we already have a wonderful Art Gallery, but lots of craft don’t actually fit into that environment. We had woodwork, Folk Art, ceramics , sewn and knitted articles - you name it, we had it. That is my suggestion. Dinah Watson, Murwillumbah

We need our Aussie roots back for Christmas The Christmas message has been subverted as much by commercialisation as political correctness, so that singing Christmas Carols and having Christian symbols displayed in our main streets and shopping malls will upset those of a different belief.. At one local shopping mall a local church minister happened to be walking past a dump bin and saw an arm sticking out from under the lid. The policy of the management was to no longer have the Italian - made figurines of Mary, Joseph and Jesus displayed near Santa Claus, (It was pleasing to see the models were rescued by the Minister). The action in recent times by hospital administrations to refuse to take the free Gideon Bibles for use in their wards, is another example of ridiculous political correctness and indicates Australia needs to get back to its roots.

Waterslide delayed and Kingscliff demolition denied

TWEED SHIRE Councillors met for their second Ordinary Meeting on Thursday, December 1, to vote on several key development projects including the BIG4 Water slide proposal. The first was a plan for a 20-lot redevelopment and construction of a public road at 55-57 Walmsleys Road, Bilambil Heights. The application also included the demolition of the current structures at the site to make way for the redevelopment. Although Councillors imposed more than 112 conditions on the Walmsleys redevelopment, it was eventually approved through a unanimous vote.

Marine Parade plan knocked back at Kingscliff

Close but not there yet for BIG4 water slides

Councillor Warren Polglase and Cr Pryce Allsop were close to throwing the BIG4 North Star Holiday Park a lifeline at 1-3 Tweed Coast Road, by putting forward a motion to approve the re-development of two water slides at the park. BIG 4 North Star Holiday owner Ian Bedel spoke to The Weekly recently and said the water slides were the park’s answer to the growing demands and expectations of visitors. “We need these new slides to remain competitive with overseas such as Bali and other areas that are drawing people away from local holidays,” he said.

Councillors have denied a development application to demolish and redevelop 202 Marine Parade, Kingscliff, into a seven-unit building complex. The development application was denied during Tweed Shire Council Ordinary Meeting on Thursday, December 1. However, Mayor Katie Milne decided a deferral of the application would be better suited to further consider visual impact, noise, parking and examine issues raised by the community submissions. Mayor Milne was supported in her amendment to the motion by Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry and although the vote was split three for and three against – the Mayor’s casting vote carried the amendment for deferral until the Thursday, December 15, meeting.

Gold Coast Airport plan needs more consideration The $3 million proposed development was blocked with a unanimous decision from Councillors, minus Cr Reece Byrnes who was away absent due to interstate travel. Councillor Ron Cooper and Cr James Owen called for the Marine Parade motion to be denied due to five reasons including the design quality, access to parking and that the development was “not considered to be in the public interest given the number and scale of variations to the controls required”.

Councillors voted to defer the Tweed Shire Council’s response to the Gold Coast Airport Draft Master Plan during the Ordinary Meeting on Thursday, December 1. In their response, Councillors said that through the Office of the General Manager seek a briefing on the plan and on site visit with the Gold Coast Airport and also to seek an extension to the submission period to enable Council to formally finalise a decision. The motion was carried with a unanimous vote.

Alarming number of drug drivers A POLICE traffic blitz across the Northern Rivers has resulted in 89 drug drivers testing positive and 19 drink drivers blowing over the legal limit (0.05) while behind the wheel. The three day operation took place from December 1 to December 3 weekend and was in response to the increased NSW road fatalities and concerns more drug drivers are getting behind the wheel. One truck driver hauling a large excavator was also nabbed and charged with mid-range drink-driving and driving unlicensed. Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy of the State’s Traffic and Highway Patrol Command said that the results were staggering, considering the high road toll. “Despite the death toll on our roads, which now sits at 357, and the numerous warnings about drink and drugdriving, I am dumbfounded by how many drivers we have caught impaired during the operation. “The Tweed/Byron Local Area Command is ranked number one in the state for alcohol related crashes, and there is an average of seven fatal crashes in the command every year. “This is not a statistic to be proud of. It is a disgrace,” Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy said. Operation Mega Drive 2 started on Thursday 1 December and finished on Saturday, December 3. The operation primarily targeted drink and drug-drivers in the region; however, speeding, mobile phone use and not wearing seatbelts were also targeted. During the operation, officers conducted 2599 random breath tests, with 19 drivers charged with drink driving, and conducted 425 random drug tests, with 86 drivers testing positive. Officers also issued 101 fines for speeding, 29 for not wearing a seatbelt, 300 other infringements, and a total of 30 charges were laid. A heavy vehicle driver was charged with mid-range drinkdriving and driving unlicensed after his truck – which was carrying a large excavator – was pulled over on the M1 at Chinaderah on Thursday, December 1. The 49-year-old Queensland man was charged after returning an alleged reading of 0.131 and checks revealed he did not have a licence required for the heavy vehicle. He is due to face Tweed Heads Local Court on 9 January 2016.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Tragic loss of life after lightning strike I’ve spent a huge amount of my hard-earned dollars on a home with a magnificent view, only to find somebody is going to build a giant apartment block that will completely block my outlook. What can I do to protect my view? Merrill Phillips, certified practising conveyancer at Stacks Law Firm, says it’s a problem that comes up time and again. “People say ‘I paid for that view, it’s mine, surely they can’t just block me out?’” Ms Phillips said. “The sad fact is that under the law you can’t own your view, no matter how much you paid for the home because it had a great view, or how long you have lived there. “But there are some things you can do before you buy a property with a view to make sure it isn’t about to be built out. There are also some things you can do that may preserve your view.” “In all conveyancing transactions, there is a saying: ‘caveat emptor’, meaning ‘buyer beware’.” Ms Phillips says the vendor maybe required under law to reveal to prospective purchasers matters that may adversely affect the property’s value. If the vendor is aware that a neighbour plans to put up a building that would block the view, they should disclose this. If the vendor produced advertising material that promoted the view but didn’t reveal that the vendor was aware that the view would be affected by a proposed development, there would probably be cause for legal action. “It would be wise to check with the local council to see if they have Development Control Plans that set out ordinances to protect views, or if anyone owning property nearby has lodged a development application. “The owner of a home with a view can object to a proposed development, and it would be a good idea to get others who are affected to join the objection. “The owner might also consider applying to purchase an easement from the owner of the neighbouring property which will grant a ‘nonpossessory interest’ in the property, that is a right held by one person to use land that is owned by another.

mountain was becoming more common than people think. “It happens a fair bit – a lot of people spend the night up there,” the resident, who preferred not to be named, said. “Most people do it so they can see the sunrise which is the first light to reach Australia and it’s a really wellknown thing for international visitors. “I think these visitors are putting locals at risk and perhaps more restrictions need to be imposed to ensure visitors are more aware of the dangers.” Other residents responded with shock that anyone would risk camping on Mt Warning during a thunderstorm. “On the summit of Mt Warning, is that true,” Nickoletta (last name withheld) wrote. “What possesses people to camp on that summit, or any peak, with thunderstorms forecast? “It beggars belief. An act of folly with foreseeable risks. Camping on the summit is illegal anyway, because of the limited space and fragile plant community.” However, the pair had been weather watching and had camped at the top of Mt Warning possibly unaware that a heavy lightning storm was on its way. A rescue operation was co-ordinated by police from Tweed/Byron Local Area Command and will involve volunteers from the Volunteer Rescue Association and State Emergency Service, as well as NSW Ambulance Paramedics. The fatal strike follows wild weather across the state, including a lightning strike at Kyogle that struck and ignited a pair of trees. Another strike sparked a house fire in Huntleys Cove, and a mother and two girls escaped uninjured. The NSW SES received more than 200 calls for help during the thunderstorm across the State, mostly for leaking roofs and fallen trees.

TWEED POLICE say they are eager to improve communications in the area where Sam Beattie, 24, was hit and killed by lightning. Twenty-four-year-old American tourist Sam Beattie died early yesterday morning, after lightning struck a tree he was under on the summit of Mount Warning. A five-hour operation was needed to retrieve his body and rescue his injured girlfriend. Inspector Greg Jago said hikers often got into trouble in the area, which is a mobile-phone blackspot. “Unfortunately yes, there is a degree of communication problems, particularly by mobile phone which is a common communication method at this point,” he said. “But that’s something that we’re talking with the telecommunications people [about] to see whether we can improve that, in consultation with the Office of Environment and Heritage.” Police said Mr Beattie would have died instantly, and praised the efforts of two Queensland teenagers who tried to revive him.

Twenty-three-year-old Michele Segalla was treated in the Murwillumbah Hospital for minor injuries to her head and neck.

Police keen to improve Mt Warning comms

Attention

“Usually easements are used to gain access to a property, such as a lane owned by somebody else. “But the owner with a view might try to purchase an easement over the air space of a development that blocks their view and limit or alter the construction so it preserves the view they enjoy.

Help! They’re blocking my view

MORE THAN 30 emergency service workers, police and ambulance crews spent five hours on Mt Warning from the early hours of Tuesday, December 6, after 24-year-old US tourist Sam Beattie had been struck and killed by lightning near the summit. The lightning strike was believed to have transferred through a tree and into an anchored tent where both Sam and his girlfriend Michele Segalla, 23, were camping. The woman received injuries to her neck as well as her hair being burnt from the lightning’s heat and was transported to Murwillumbah Hospital. A Northern NSW Local Health spokesperson said Michele left the emergency department about 6pm on Tuesday. Tweed/Byron LAC Superintendent Wayne Starling addressed the media and confirmed the two hikers were tourists and said another group of hikers came across the scene of the incident before emergency services. Two Queensland teens attempted to resuscitate the man but police said Sam would have almost certainly died instantly. Supt Starling described the incident as a “tragedy” and said the incident was “very unusual”. Nearby residents said the area was hit by an “incredible” thunder and lightning storm. The pair were believed to be weather watchers and had intended to witness Australia’s first easterly light at dawn. The news of the man’s death travelled fast on Tuesday with an outpouring of sadness from residents as well as questions around why anyone would camp at the top of the mountain. The Mt Warning trail was also closed (prior to print) until further notice. One Murwillumbah local said that camping on the

Hutchisons calls time on more than seven decades of local service

MURWILLUMBAH ICONIC business Hutchisons Furniture & Floorcoverings has announced it will close this week after 74 years of dedicated local service. Hutchisons first opened in Murwillumbah in 1942 and supplied quality furniture solutions in the early days and extended into floorcoverings and window furnishings in years that followed. Always recognised for their high level of customer service and personal locals approach, Geoff and Karen Rice said it would be a sad farewell to many familiar faces. The business has employed many locals some of whom were employed for much of their working lives. “It is a sobering fact just how many locals have been employed by Hutchisons over the past seventy-four years,” Geoff said. “Karen and myself have been involved in the business for the past fifteen years and have enjoyed taking care of new and existing customers.

“We will sadly miss the regular visitors who pop in for a chat.” Geoff said the family had made many friends within the industry and customers alike. “We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our customers for their support and shopping locally,” Karen said. Hutchisons Tile Centre will continue trading with owner Steve Grant, while the remainder of the business will close. Geoff and Karen are now looking towards the future and planning what’s next. “Well, we are going to take a well-earned break and after that we will see what life has in store for us,” Geoff said. “We would like to wish our valued customers and friends a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year – thank you.” Anyone wanting to give Geoff and Karen a “thank you” or Christmas and New Year message can email editor@ theweekly.net.au - for the letters page.

PLANTING GOOD SEEDS When does a preschool garden become a learning space? At Mt Warning Community Preschool, Director Pauline Hurcombe shares, “We are fortunate to be able to offer a beautiful, naturally shaded garden full of learning opportunities in which children can thrive. Our garden is the focal point of the majority of our children’s social learning and physical development. It invites exploration and investigation from the sandpit to the swings and slide and on to the cubby. It assists the experienced educators to support relationships and behaviours amongst the children. Outside a child can be calmed on the swing. A group of friends can create a game of their own imaginings using loose parts and found natural objects. Lessons in sowing, planting and caring for edible plants are woven into the program. Physical challenges are set up within the environment to foster coordination, physical strength and balance. The children can choose to be challenged by a new skill or can follow an interest in bike riding, tree climbing, hitting up at the totem tennis or running for sheer joy around the bike path.” Mt Warning Community Preschool has been serving the community in its present location since in 1992. The not for profit service was built by local community members and continues to grow in this way. The week day preschool program caters for children aged from 3 to 5 years with a Monday morning social playgroup being available for younger children and infants.

The education team and committee of Mt Warning Community Preschool invite you and your children to visit and experience the unique space and program.

Are you one of the smart people in the Northern Rivers who are benefiting from the 60 cent per kWh export paid to them under the NSW Solar Bonus Scheme? Payments under this plan expire at the end of 2016, leaving solar owners with 4 - 6 cents for each kWh exported after then. 20,000 homes in the Northern Rivers will have to install new meters just to be able to use the power they now export entirely to the grid. 888 Solar Tek, your local hybrid and off-grid solar experts, have developed a smart migration plan, which will eliminate 80% or more of your ongoing power charges. They can install additional solar panels and battery storage now, to cover all of your daily energy use, slashing power charges.

Proudly part of Tweed Palliative Support

MURWILLUMBAH PROFESSIONAL photographer Rob Olver has released a remarkable new book “Murwillumbah and the Tweed Valley” in black and white. The 113-page postcard-style book was also published in Murwillumbah by Dawn till Dusk Publications. Rob recently caught up with The Weekly to promote the new book and talk about some of his love for the Tweed and passion for photography. “When I was a child he emigrated from South Africa and remember travelling up the Pacific Highway from Sydney to Brisbane with the family to start our new life,” he said. As they crested the Burringbar Range on the highway (now Tweed Valley Way) Rob said he was struck by the sight of Wollumbin Mount Warning. “I thought to myself here’s a real mountain,” he said. “I vividly remember thinking that I would like to live in the Tweed Valley one day.” Fast forward about 30 years to 2012 and Rob was exploring the Northern Rivers when his car broke down near Bray Park. “I stayed for about a week in a motel in Murwillumbah and enjoyed exploring the town on foot, while waiting for the car to be fixed,” he said. “During these meanderings, I met some local people and through those connections subsequently found rental accommodation.” Rob had previously published five photographic books on other parts of Australia and so naturally began to take pictures of his new home. “I decided to concentrate on heritage and people as well as the landscape. The result is his new publication Murwillumbah and the Tweed Valley, featuring over fifty black and white photographs of the town, surrounding areas and events like the Banana Festival,” he said. The book was recently launched as part of the exhibition “Against the Grain” at the Citadel in Queen Street (now concluded), which also featured the photographs of Carol Easton, Chelle Wallace and Greg Wightman.Rob said the book has been received well and will be available at selected retail outlets in Murwillumbah and other centres in the Northern Rivers.

Local artist to host open night

MURWILLUMBAH ARTIST and sculptor Jack Quilter (pictured) has been hard at work developing his latest exhibition at the old Bottle Factory on Holstons Lane for Saturday, December 10. The Weekly recently caught up with Jack to get a greater insight of what inspires him about the Tweed and to check out his latest sculptures. In 2005, Jack won the Swell Sculpture public art award in Currumbin QLD and now has two public art works at both Kirra beach and Paradise Point on the Gold Coast. With the money earned from these large public sculptures, Jack was able to purchase his dream studio in 2007 on Holstons Lane. “My current works on display at the bottle factory are bird baths, garden sculptures, candelabras and most recently small figurative and animal studies,” he said. “I think what most attracts and inspires me about the Tweed Shire is the incredible diversity and combination of high mountains, subtropical rain forests and of course the spectacular coastline. “I have been an avid bush walker and I am particularly fond of bird watching. “I have also been scuba diving for more than 20 years and have found the ocean an abundant source of visual stimulation.” Jack switched his focus to metal work sculptor using

found objects to form assemblages. “I fossick, collect and acquire old farm iron such as plow disks, cane cutter blades and other assorted tools,” he said. “Living in the Tweed we have an abundance of scrap metals left over from a rich heritage of cedar logging and sugar cane harvesting, much of my work reflects the experience and connection to the landscape, using man made tools that have literally carved the earth around us. “I’ve been steadily restoring the former bottle factory built in the 1930s. I really needed a practical place to work and found Murwillumbah the ideal location to set up my practice. “I really enjoy working in a space that has so much connection to the town and history. “This Saturday I will open the doors to the public for the second time this year for an exhibition of old and new works on sale, with a few pieces to be auctioned in the evening.” To find out more, visit Jack’s studio and exhibition at 14 Holstons Lane from 9.30am until late on Saturday, December 10.

Small fire breaks out at Cudgen Leagues Club TWEED HEADS Firefighters were first on the scene of a small fire in the office department of the Cudgen Leagues Club at about 8am this morning. Club manager Nathan Kerr told The Weekly the fire was contained to the office and the club was operating as normal. “We believe the fire was started from an electrical issue, however the fire department are looking into the issue,” he said. “The Club is open and operating as normal.” Tweed Heads Firefighters on 468 Alpha noticed smoke coming from the building and additional resources were called in from 468 Hazmat and 347 Kingscliff for support. “The fire was contained to offices on the ground floor with two staff members evacuated,” the firefighters said. “The remainder of the building suffered minor heat, smoke and water damage.”

Talking Local Politics with Cr Ron Cooper

SO I’VE been elected to Council on the back of a “No High Rise” campaign – a campaign slogan that reaches way back to the early 1980s and still resonates today – a campaign slogan that has elected councillors before me. My campaign would never have gotten off the ground if the current crop of planners had recognized the long standing determination of Tweed Coast people to stop the Gold Coast at the border. The initial Council consultation for the Kingscliff Locality Plan showed

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Ron’s plan to stop Gold Coast at the Border Grant funds now available that no-one supported buildings over three storeys. That was ignored. The Draft Kingscliff Locality Plan was put on exhibition showing locations for four, five and six storey buildings. It’s probably a good thing that this plan seems to have lost its standing and will be rejigged for future consultation. An earlier survey of 1250 residents and visitors showed 97 per cent support for the three storey height limit. A later petition backing this up reached 13,000 signatures in six months. If Council’s consultation failed to identify such an overwhelming sentiment, then it is clearly flawed. If this sentiment was identified but ignored, then the widely-held belief that it’s a waste of time talking to Council is confirmed. There is more to do than just getting elected and voting against high-rise.

There has to be a change in Council’s consultation practices and a review of the Community Engagement Policy. Let’s hope this will lead to a strengthening of our local grass-roots democracy. I hope to be able to arrange some trials of a modified consultation format. Several councillors have expressed an interest in improving consultation. I trust I will receive support for these trials. I have heard good reports on the consultation for the Rural Villages Strategy. I would love to hear from people who participated so that I can further modify my ideas. Contact me directly or write to The Weekly (editor@theweekly.net.au) and voice your views or concerns. Next week: Cr Cooper plans to write about some less obvious benefits of his suggested changes to the Council’s consultation format.

A NEW round of financial assistance for Tweed community groups and organisations, through Council’s Community Sponsorship Policy, is now open for applications. A total of $46,503 is available this round, to provide a financial boost for groups offering events and services that enhance quality of life and community in the Tweed. “There are many not-for-profit community groups and organisations doing wonderful work in Tweed Shire, whether it’s enlivening our community with fun events or improving the day to day lives of residents,” Council’s Director Community and Natural Resources, Tracey Stinson, said. “The Community Sponsorship Policy acknowledges the importance of this work to enhance the identity, character and environment of Tweed Shire and the health, well-being and connectedness of the people who live here.” Under the Policy, priority is given to projects that bring outcomes in line with the Tweed Shire Community Strategic Plan 2013/2023. The plan outlines key objectives for the Tweed, under four themes: Civic Leadership, Supporting Community Life, Strengthening the Economy and Caring for the Environment.

Rate peg lower for 2017 say IPART in latest review

CONTINUING LOW inflation and minimal growth in council costs will limit the increase in the general income local councils can recover to 1.5 per cent in 2017-18 – which is lower than last year’s rate peg of 1.8 per cent. The rate peg is determined by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) each year and sets the maximum general income NSW councils can collect. The main component of general income is rates revenue, but it also includes some annual user charges. It excludes stormwater, waste collection, water and sewerage charges. Announcing the annual rate peg last month, IPART Chair Peter Boxall said ratepayers would benefit from the modest rate of public sector wages growth in recent years,

as well as the continuing low inflationary environment. This has seen the cost of some items used by councils fall, including fuel, gas and telecommunication services. IPART determines the rate peg by measuring changes in the Local Government Cost Index (LGCI) that includes changes in the average costs faced by councils, and consideration of a factor to reflect improvements in productivity. “The Local Government Cost Index increased by 1.47 per cent in the year to September 2016,” Dr Boxall said. “Since the rate peg applies to general income in total, and not to individual rate assessments, it is up to each council to determine whether to apply the allowed increase in full and the impact on individual rate assessments. “Similarly, if councils want to increase their revenue by more than the rate peg they will need to consult with

their communities before applying to IPART for a special variation.” Councils wishing to apply for a special rate variation should aim to notify IPART by, December 9, 2016. A fact sheet on the rate peg is available on IPART’s website: www.ipart.nsw.gov.au

Local cane juice becomes fine drop

Cane harvest draws to a close approximately 558,000 tonnes of cane will have been processed for Condong growers this season. The sugar content is just over 12.00 ccs average for the year. This is a very good sugar content level and is no doubt due to the hot and dry days with some quite cool mornings experienced this Spring. The continued long dry spell has also resulted in some poor germination of plant cane and all plant cane and ratoons (regrowth) are not as advanced as they should be for this time of year. Much of the Northern Rivers area is in need of some good soaking rain as the mostly dry storms have been of Grown little benefit.in We wish all growers, harvesting crews, Australia mill staff, transport workers the very best for the Festive season and a wellearned break.

Grown in On show was the newly released, limited edition Virgin Cane Spirit. Australia Grown in Sugar cane grown locally at Condong in the Tweed Australia Valley is cut and pressed into fresh juice at Sunshine Sugar’s Condong Sugar Mill within 12 hours of harvest. Yeast is added immediately and the juice ferments as it is transported to the Archie Rose distillery in Sydney and then distilled three times in copper pot stills. This first, limited edition offering of white rum was developed by the Archie Rose team, having evolved from a goal to make characterful spirits using raw ingredients that are sourced locally. Sunshine Sugar Chief Executive Officer, Mr Chris Connors said, “As Australia’s only locally owned and WHEN THE Tweed area finishes its locally grown sugar milling co-operative, cane harvest this week, major repair we are uniquely positioned to work work will commence on the milling with innovative small businesses such as train of Condong Mill.

Invite to Councillors for Pottsville Holistic Health. Men’s Shed December meeting Advertorial

TWEED SHIRE Councillors were extended an invitation to attend the Pottsville & District Men’s Shed (P&DMS) monthly meeting today (Thursday, December 8) from 10am. This meeting was expected to take place at the shelter sheds on Black Rocks Sports Fields in Pottsville. The meeting follows a decision by several Councillors to delay licensing the Men’s Shed on Black Rocks Sports Fields, despite the previous council moving towards approving the site for five years. However, Mayor Katie Milne and Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry called on further workshops to ensure all possible alternative sites are considered before making the final licensing decision. P&DMS president Michael Ryan also extended the invitation to local editors and said Men’s Shed members were requesting that Councillors consider and respond to a series of questions including why council has decided that the Black Rocks Sports site for the Shed is no longer available? “Is the Council happy to write off the $30,000 of Ratepayers money already spent on the preparation and approval of the DA for the Black Rocks site and is this not a matter which should be brought to the attention of the Council’s auditor’s and the relevant Departments of the NSW Government,” Mr Ryan questioned. Mr Ryan and fellow Men’s Shed members also called for Councillors to specify “if another site is identified will the Council prepare and approve the DA for the Shed on that site as speedily as possible?” These and other burning questions remain to be answered as the Men’s Shed remains up in the air. Meanwhile, Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry wrote to The Weekly on Monday to express her thoughts and said it was

What Does it Mean?

HOLISM IS the theory that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Surprising and unpredictable things happen when we bring lots of different parts together. This means that to a large extent, the full potential of a holistic system is unknown, expectations of the system should be kept open, and that predictability is, to a greater or lesser extent, impossible. Added to this, in a population of complex systems, no two systems are ever exactly the same. This means that if the full potential of each individual system is a mystery, then how individual systems will interact is even harder to predict or understand. You can think of individuals as smaller holistic systems acting within society at large which is another holistic system, whose individual parts are us, other individuals, the environment and all of nature. In biology, individual, living, complex systems are largely self-directed. How they manage themselves and how they interact with other entities within their environment, how they survive, is a highly complex situation. In the human experience we often talk of health as if it was the default state. We think we are healthy and then something happens to us to make us unhealthy. However, health is just one possible state for a holistic system. The chances against it happening naturally are astronomical, sort of like that story of a thousand monkeys typing for infinity to produce the complete works of Shakespeare. In a holistic system, being not sick is very far from being healthy. This is because within a holistic system there is a two-way relationship between the individual and the system. The individual cannot be healthy until the entire system is healthy and the entire system cannot be healthy until each individual component is healthy. In our society, this would mean that not only would we all need to be physically healthy, we would also all need to be mentally healthy and, as a whole, socially healthy. Even the most casual of investigations can reveal how far we are from this.

Tweed power job cuts

The holistic concept is now widely used within the health field to promote the idea that many factors other than just the physical need to be taken into account when looking at human health. However, there are many elements within a holistic system that are well outside the boundaries of a health practitioner’s field of expertise or training to diagnose, let alone treat. Holistic health is really about what and who you are connected to and what and who connects to you. It encompasses the underlying reasons or ethics of those connections and relationships as well as how you manage them. It is the qualities of those connections and relationships that in turn affects your physical, mental and social states. In short, these connections and relationships form the underlying basis of how you ‘feel’ most of the time. They are, to all intents and purposes, the picture of your Health.

76028

Holistic Analysis is a method of defining as many of those connections and relationships as possible and personal coaching is a way of gaining the skills and knowledge to manage them effectively to produce a state of optimised health.

“precisely the commitment to community led decisions that led me to support a deferral of the granting of a license for a temporary site at Black Rock for the Pottsville and District Men’s Shed”. “We need the best outcome for the whole of community on this issue,” she said. “It is not correct to state that most of the submissions supported the move to Blackrock - many submissions simply supported the Men’s Shed in general, and that is something that I believe the majority of the community wants to do. “In supporting these 32 men, and the many more who may join them in the future, I believe it is better to provide a permanent home for this excellent group rather than allow them to spend around $90,000 of tax payer funded grant money on a temporary site. “To those who disregard the fact that the Black Rock site is a temporary approval and who are willing to gamble on the site being made permanent, I ask you to think carefully. “There is no guarantee that this gamble will pay off. That is why I am working with Council and Geoff Provest MP because I believe the Men’s Shed needs a secure, permanent site. “We are trying to get the best outcome possible on this issue, not just the quickest. “Luckily the group is able to fill the social function it provides for men in need and at the same time provide wonderful support for the Pottsville Beach Primary school at their current temporary home. “Please know that I am working as hard as possible to help progress a permanent home for you and hopefully in time you will see that.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Would you like to see the site built at Black Rocks Sports Field, or do you believe the Men’s Shed would be better served with a permanent site?

PUBLICLY-OWNED ELECTRICITY distributor Essential Energy has this week commenced notifying employees that they will be forced to leave the company, just weeks before Christmas, with workers at 23 locations around NSW so far told that they no longer have a job. The United Services Union said it had confirmed the forced termination of 36 workers — the first of 600 the company plans to axe by 2018 — with those made redundant so far including electrical technicians, powerline workers, operations managers, senior customer service staff, meter readers, engineers, administration workers and specialist tradespeople. The number of confirmed job cuts by regional depot includes 1 at Tweed Heads, 1 at Murwillumbah as well as Bathurst 2; Bega 1; Blayney 1; Broken Hill 8; Buronga 2; Coffs Harbour 1; Coonamble 1; Dubbo 2; Forbes 1; Grafton 1; Inverell 1; Mclean 1; Nambucca Heads 1; Narrabri 1; Orange 1; Port Macquarie 3; Queanbeyan 1; Sydney 1; Tamworth 1; Taree 1; and Wellington 1. USU general secretary Graeme Kelly slammed the timing as heartless, accusing Essential Energy management of treating loyal workers with contempt. “How incredibly insensitive and out of touch can management at Essential Energy be if they think that it is acceptable behaviour to ring workers just weeks before Christmas to tell them that — despite years of loyal service — they’ve no longer got a job,” Mr Kelly said.

“Workers at this publicly-owned company are still in shock that management was granted approval last month to axe 600 jobs by 2018, and up to 1,000 more in 2019, but that emotion is turning to anger as they see the heartless way colleagues are being treated when they are notified of their termination. “The information pack that is sent to workers after they get the phone call helpfully suggests they call Lifeline, which appears to be an admission the company knows just how devastating this kind of news is, particularly to people living in regional areas with limited alternate employment. “This is a company that is 100 per cent owned by the NSW Government, so it seems incomprehensible that this approach is occurring without the oversight and approval of the Liberal National Government.” Mr Kelly called on regional MPs, particularly National Party MPs who are part of the Government, to demand an immediate halt to these forced redundancies until after the Christmas New Year period. “It seems like common sense that a decent government and a decent employer would wait until after the holiday period to provide this news,” he said. “The NSW Government should also ensure there is a greater level of support put in place for workers who are seeing their lives turned upside down. “This weekend, 400 Essential Energy workers and supporters marched through Dubbo to demand action to protect regional jobs, but so far all they have received from the National Party is silence.”

Oliver’s aims to open on the Tweed Need to know tips to get your bond back

OLIVER’S, THE world’s first Certified Organic fast food chain, is opening on December 21 at the new Chinderah service station in time for the summer influx of holiday makers. “We opened OIiver’s on the corner of Tweed Valley Way and the Pacific Highway, Chinderah, to offer a real alternative to customers,” said Jason Gunn, Founder of Oliver’s Real Food. “Here at Oliver’s, we offer an abundance of nutrient-dense food. Wherever possible we use organically grown produce, so you feel full of life and energy. On average the organic produce we use offers three times the anti-oxidants of conventional produce – to keep your body in peak health.” Residents of Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah and people driving there, can now choose from a variety of nutrient rich foods including: salads, sushi, gourmet pita pockets, chia pods, yoghurt cups, organic soups and curries, sandwiches, and protein balls. Or you can try a serve of Oliver’s steamed beans with Himalayan rock salt – the healthy alternative to fries. The coffee at Oliver’s is famous for its great taste and consistent high quality. “We don’t buy our coffee beans from a corporation. We get our single origin organic coffee from an alliance of villages in the mountains of South America, who rely on companies like us for their entire livelihood. “Every decision we make is based on how much good we are doing in the world. We call it ‘feed your good’, and if we all do want we can, the world will soon become a much better and healthier place.” “We’ve had great feedback from people thanking Oliver’s for providing such a great variety of nutritious food - fast.” “The public want a better choice of food. The hunger for quick, highly nutritious, healthy, takeaway food is only increasing. We want you to feel you can relax and revitalise in our stores,” concluded Jason. Oliver’s is located at the corner of Tweed Valley Way and the Pacific Highway and will open on December 21 alongside a range of other businesses to be announced soon.

AS HOUSING prices continue to soar and more people are pushed into rentals, there are concerning figures that show almost half of all renters do not receive a full bond refund. Almost one third (31 per cent) of Australian households are renting, while data from the NSW Rental Bond Board indicated that only 47 per cent of renters recovered their full bond amount during the 2014/15 financial year. Former real estate trainer and CEO of Bondsure, Paul Mylott, said that the large quantity of renters in the market means that it is important for tenants to look to protect their rental bonds by developing a clear bond protection strategy. “Hundreds of thousands of Australians have likely been caught up in a bond dispute at one stage or another and while they are often complex and troublesome situations, there are a number of simple things tenants can do to give themselves the best chance of recovering their bond at the end of the lease period,” said Mr Mylott. “Firstly, tenants should thoroughly assess the initial property inspection report provided by the property manager to make sure that any damage or issues that could be contentious in the future, are properly noted and photos or video are stored for future reference. “Due to the stress involved in moving this step is often overlooked but can make a huge difference in helping a tenant protect their bond at the end of a lease.

“Secondly, if you go into a lease with the mindset that you will treat this property like it was your own, you’ll likely take precautionary steps that some people may not to protect the property during times when the risk of damage is higher than usual,” said Paul Mylott. Tenants should promptly notify property managers when issues arise as this can often lead to the matter in question being resolved quickly and before the initial issue manifests into others. “One of the most common areas of bond dispute concerns the need for additional cleaning which can often see renters pay twice for cleaning charges or lose a significant amount of their bond if the agent is forced to clean the property again,” said Paul Mylott. “A good way to minimise this risk it to employ cleaners that have been recommended by the property manager in question or that offer a legitimate 100 per cent bond back guarantee.” Lastly, despite how careful and diligent many tenants can be, accidents do happen and this is where renters can benefit from Australia’s first bond insurance product offered through Bondsure. “By being mindful of how common bond disputes are and crystallising a clear bond protection strategy with your family or roommates, renters can give themselves the best chance possible of recovering their bond and unlocking money that can be better spent on other things.”

Tweed Foodie Fest a success despite the weather TWEED FOODIE Fest hosted another spectacular event with patrons enjoying the festive atmosphere in Wharf Street, Murwillumbah, on Saturday, December 3. More than 300 people pre-booked and there was fierce competition for the great table decorating prizes supplied by Mount Warning Tours. First prize went to an "alien" themed table with second prize going to a "Mad Hatters Tea Party". Third prize was won by one of the Destination Tweed tables who were there to enjoy their annual staff Christmas party. Festival Director Kerry Turner said the event went

Christmas is almost here so don't forget your Members Advantage points expire each year when Santa drops in on Christmas Day. Santa doesn’t take them of course; it's just a coincidence of fact, but equally mysterious. So, it's important you use up all your points before close of trade on Saturday 24 December before sneaky Santa gets here. Make the most of points you have accumulated throughout the year to purchase food, beverages and/or entertainment. The bottleshop at the Banora Bar is always popular at this time of year so call in and cash in your points to stock the fridge for Christmas. This year, it is even easier to use up all your points with ‘points and pay’ available on every sale. If you are a few points short for your final purchase of the year, top up with a little cash. In fact, you can do this all year round.

Club Banora has fun indoors and out, with a giant pool party under the stars (see page 3 for details) and free live entertainment in the Clubhouse.

Twin Towns Juniors is the place to celebrate a laid-back New Year’s Eve with family. Choose from the menu at Wok Chop’n’Grill Cafe Fusion with music performed by Rob Keith from 5-9pm NSW, New Year’s action on big indoor and outdoor screens and plenty of space for the kids to play.

BOARD CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to our Members. Twin Towns Clubs and Resorts have experienced another fabulous year with more exciting changes completed around our clubs to ensure the best facilities are provided for our members and community to enjoy. On behalf of all our dedicated directors, our management team and our extremely diligent staff may I thank our members and our stakeholders for your amazing support during the past year. Without your tremendous support, we would not have achieved the financial rewards to refurbish facilities to continue to strive to make Twin Towns Clubs and Resorts the No. 1 Club. May everyone have a fabulous Christmas with family and friends along with a happy, healthy and successful 2017. To summarise the 2016 year, Twin Towns Clubs and Resorts should experience a financial result very similar to 2015 which again provides a very healthy statement for members to be proud of. Remember as a not-forprofit community club, most cash generated surplus is returned to improve member facilities and support our local Tweed Heads community. The final year-end result will appear in the Annual Report anticipated to be available in March 2017 although I may be in a position to print a snippet for members in Club News a little earlier, once approval has been provided by our Audit Committee. The core business of the club

industry is gaming and ultimately Twin Towns Clubs and Resorts would not be in a position to provide members with such fabulous member and community facilities including the World class sporting facilities at Club Banora without them. Despite our gaming revenue representing approximately 54.6% of overall revenue (Metropolitan Clubs are 80%+) our members and visitors having a social flutter is still imperative to achieve that ultimate outcome. During 2016 a total of 120 gaming machines were replaced, 75 at Twin Towns, 30 at Club Banora and 15 at Juniors at a cost of $2.75 million. These machines provide new challenges with new game variations for our members and guests that love a flutter, and a first-class experience in an environment which is comfortable, clean and modern. The government decision to gradually introduce new notes, initially the new $5 note, has caused technicians to ensure compatibility across gaming machines, vending and counting machines. The cost to upgrade Cash Redemption Terminals and ATM’s across the group equates to $200K. Twin Towns is extremely conscious of responsible gaming and takes proactive harm minimisation training practices and implementation very seriously. Thanks to ClubsNSW initiating the Salvation Army Chaplaincy program we are extremely fortunate to have the most amazing, dedicated Chaplains

in Owen and Pam Pattison walking through our clubs talking to patrons and assisting whenever required. Owen and Pam have assisted members suffering from domestic violence, terminal health issues, family and relationship issues. These amazing people have visited over 20 members in hospital and last but not least, have assisted connecting lost family members through the Salvation Army tracking programme. What a profound example of dedication and service that we are privileged to be part of for members. When one doesn’t keep score it’s simply staggering to look back over the past year to see the many major capital works and maintenance programmes completed and how costs add up to maintain Twin Towns notfor-profit Community Clubs and Resort for that extreme experience to benefit all members. The following list of project achievements in 2016 shows the high regard placed on providing members with first class facilities as a result of your fabulous support. • Shade sails at Oasis Olympic Pool Complex - $55K (50% State grant). • Oasis Pools winter maintenance (including concrete finish to carpet grass section near wading pool, bathroom renovations, retiling, sealing expansion joints in wading pool, repairing filtration system (Complex now 30 yrs old) - $30K. • Air-conditioning works: showroom air handling unit (November) - $130K. • Air-conditioning works: Visions (Conference Room) system replacement (September) $78K. • Air-conditioning works: Twin Towns Cooling Tower upgrades and chiller insulation - $71K.

I also express sincere condolences for members who may have lost family and friends during 2016. Christmas time is an especially difficult time in those situations so hopefully having other friends and family members close at hand may assist during difficult times. Finally, please spare a thought at Christmas time for those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, the brave Australian Defence Personnel who are serving their country in many theatres of War including the various peacekeeping missions overseas especially during the festive season so that we at home may live in peace in the manner in which we have become accustomed.

• Twin Towns painting and reroofing the walkway bridge $194K.

• Generator backup system for main computer room - $36K. • Phone server replacement - $15K.

Merry Christmas, good health and I look forward to catching up around our clubs.

Twin Towns Diggers Swimming Club Twin Towns Diggers Swimming Club has been in existence for 47 years and was the first of the many internal sporting and social clubs to enjoy the support and encouragement of the Twin Towns Board. We currently have 64 members who enjoy the wonderful facilities of the modern pool at Club Banora, where we conduct races every Sunday morning. The slow swimmers have every chance of defeating the fast swimmers, as races are run using a handicap system. These events are: 30 metres, 50 metres, 100 metres, a 20 metre relay, and a brace relay (one person swims 50 metres; their allocated partner does the remaining 30 metres). Most do

these events in freestyle, but any stroke is permitted. The last event is the 30 metre form-stroke, which alternates weekly between breaststroke and backstroke. Many members do all events, others just the short distances. Some swim for fun, others for serious competition and many for fitness, as swimming is renowned for giving the entire body a great workout, and is joint friendly. Over summer, we usually have some away swims to compete against other clubs in our zone. It is our club’s turn to host one such carnival in February 2017. At these meets, in addition to the handicap events, age championships are held in five year age brackets for men and women.

Pop into 1st on Wharf Mosey on down to 1st on Wharf next Friday night for Members Happy Hour from 4-6pm Qld and a taste sensation from the popular pop-up international street food menu. The rotating pop-up menu changes weekly, with some New Orleans and New York street fare playing a starring role.

WEDDING VALUED

Loaded chilli beef baked potatoes, New York street hot dog, Ruben sandwich or mid-western grilled bratwurst roll – every dish is perfect to enjoy with an icy cold beer from the local and international craft beer range or a glass of red or white.

$10,000

The $17 all day dining menu is also available every day, including Fridays. Choose from chicken breast parmigiana, Aussie beef burger, 250g rump steak with parsley butter, bangers and mash or fish and chips. Plus, for $17 you also get a handle of beer, glass of wine, soft drink, tea or coffee. Settle in next Friday night and when the dining is done, relax to the music from resident DJ, A-Cap from 9.30pm Qld.

One pair of lucky lovebirds will know just how it feels at the Twin Towns Wedding Open Day on Sunday 12 March 2017. With $10,000 to spend on the venue hire and wedding package at Twin Towns, there will be way more to spend on that designer wedding gown, romantic honeymoon or those little extras you had hoped for but just couldn’t squeeze into the budget. From Monday 2 January, those that book and complete a site inspection of Twin Towns wedding venues will receive an entry ticket which will be placed in the barrel at the Tweed Events office. On the day of the site inspection,

they will also receive a ring box with details about the Wedding Open Day. Bring the ring box along on the day of the Wedding Expo and receive an additional two entries in the draw. That’s three chances of walking away with the Twin Towns $10,000 dream wedding package! Those that just attend the Open Day will receive one ticket in the draw. To win you must be present at the draw. At 2.45 pm, a room-full of soonto-be brides will hold their breath as five tickets are drawn from the barrel. All five entrants will receive a locked, velvet ring box. In one of these boxes will be a gold ring. The person with the gold ring in their box will walk away with the $10,000 dream wedding package.

The Wedding Open Day on 12 March will be held from 10am to 3pm Qld. All of Twin Towns superb wedding venues will be open for inspection – River, Bay, Border and Horizons. Mel Elzinga serving it up at 1st on Wharf’s Pop-up food stand.

A swim clinic was held in October by our two coaches, Kaye and Linda which was great for those competing and great fun was had by others. This was to “brush up on our skills” - turning and stroke correction. We all get into bad habits as time goes on, so it is good to be pulled into line again! With Pan Pacs in November, participating in this clinic was sure to be a great help. Welcome back to Debbie Boothroyd who was our coach many years ago. Welcome also to our newest member, Phil Davis, and feel sure he will recognise he is amongst friends.

Champions including Heidi Sowerby, Tracy Foyster and Jim Collins with Val Lambard 3rd placegetter.

FISHING CLUB Only one angler reported their catch for the competition last month. Club President Rod weighed in an impressive catch of bream and tarwhine to maintain him as one of the leaders of this year’s competition. The winner, under secrecy, will be announced at the club’s Christmas Party on 2 December at Club Banora. There will be no further comps this year but members will be out on the Tweed River in force with the beautiful summer fishing weather about to hit the region. Twin Towns Fishing Club is always looking for new members. Go to www.twintownsfishingclub.com or call President Rod on 07 5524 1160 or Vice President Ferdi on 0414 812 907. Loretta

GARDEN CLUB Members enjoyed a visit from our sponsor Rocky Point Mulching in November. We learned about their different products and what they are good for. Oh all the yummies in Rocky Point’s Sugar Cane Mulch - a major good point is that they extract the dust from their mulch. Christmas is abounding in the shops and it’s quite infectious. Here’s an idea, known as up-cycling: utilise an attractive but old bone china cup and saucer to present a plant cutting to someone or even a cactus. Yes you will need to have a hole gently drilled in the base of the cup! Diary note: Gardening requires lots of water, most of it in the form of perspiration. December meeting will be an end of year/Christmas luncheon held at Twin Towns Services Club this year. Club enquiries to Maria on 5524 8234.

Community College a big award winner MURWILLUMBAH COMMUNITY College was a big winner at the fourth annual Tweed Shire Access and Inclusion Awards, claiming overall honours and two of the category prizes. The adult and community education organisation received the new Faye Druett Award for Advocacy and the Community category, on its way to receiving the overall Tweed Shire Access and Inclusion Award. This year’s award recipients and all the nominees were announced at a ceremony at Twin Towns Services Club last week. Murwillumbah Community College assists a number of people with additional learning needs and was nominated by a Cert IV in Training and Assessment student whose previous attempts at study had been unsuccessful because he didn’t have access to the support he needed. The 30-year-old man is blind and deaf - and uses a cochlear implant to hear - but said the support provided by the college, and the self-belief that came as a result, had made the difference. “(It) helps to change the broader community’s attitude about what people with a disability can achieve, particularly in regard to education and employment,” his nomination says. Murwillumbah Community College Manager Barbara Carroll said the organisation had a simple attitude that each person who walked through their doors brought both challenges and incredible strengths. “We try to work with each person to reduce their challenges and barriers and offer them an environment to flourish and, through their strengths, achieve their goals,” Ms Carroll said. She said their challenges varied from physical, intellectual or learning difficulties to a long break from education or massive family commitments. “But in parallel to those challenges there is incredible resilience, perseverance and motivation. We just try to provide the best environment and support and it’s very rewarding work,” she said. Mayor of Tweed, Councillor Katie Milne, said a record number of nominations had been received for this year’s awards, recognising groups and individuals who were giving dignity and response to those who needed it most. “Everyone in our community shares the responsibility to improve access and inclusion and this is particularly

important for businesses and other organisations that provide services to the public,” she said. Other 2016 prize recipients: Individual: Winner - Glen Bowe (Positive Energy), Achievement Certificates - Nathan Johnston, Sandy Rogers. Sport and Leisure: Winner - Peter Comerford (Tweed Sea Sports, Achievement Certificates - Fingal Rovers Surf Life Saving Club, Juraki. Education: Winner - Jeff Robinson (Principal, Uki Public School), Achievement Certificate - Brendan Ryan (Principal, Mt St Patrick Primary School). Community: Winner - Murwillumbah Community College, Achievement Certificates - Kids in Need, Tweed Patch Workers Business: Winner - National Australia Bank Murwillumbah, Achievement Certificates - Suzanne Grae Tweed Heads, Cools Swim School Belonging Award: Winner - Billabong Swim School Visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/AccessInclusionAwards to see all the nominees, the presentation by the keynote speaker, Paralympic gold medallist Tracy Barrell, and other details.

Yiros Greek food coming

GREEK FOOD lovers are in for a special treat in 2017 with the announcement that The Yiros Shop is bringing its renowned Greek goodness to Tweed Heads in late January. The Yiros Shop has taken Brisbane by storm with locations in Fortitude Valley, South Bank, Cannon Hill and the CBD, with Brisbane customers going crazy for the yiros – a simple combination of fluffy pita bread stuffed to the brim with delicious chicken, pork or lamb, salad, tzatziki and chips. Owner Nick James is underway with The Yiros Shop’s new 60-seat venue, which is located in the Tweed City Shopping Centre precinct. The menu will mirror that of the popular Brisbane eateries, which feature mouth-watering yiros combinations alongside plates, grab-and-go eats and sit-down feasts with the likes of Greek dips such as melitzanosalata (roasted eggplant), tirokafteri (spiced fetta and capsicum) and taramasalata (salted and cured roe), with sides of calamari, haloumi and feta chips. You will also be able to indulge your Greek sweet tooth with rice pudding, galaktoboureko (semolina custard in filo pastry) and tasty loukoumades – the traditional Greek honey puffs.

Murwillumbah Community College delegates (from left) Mandie Schoer, Virginia Catts, Barbara Carroll, Gary Bagnall and Gladys Bailey (second from right) receive the perpectual trophy for the overall award from last year’s winner, Pottville Beach Neighbourhood House, represented by Manager Angela Maxwell and Dane McNamara.

Artisan market success

As the weather warms up, cool down with refreshing cucumbers. With a high water content (around 95 per cent by weight) they’ll help keep you hydrated and they’re also a good source of vitamins A and C and minerals such as potassium and manganese. Choose cucumbers that are firm to the touch and store in the fridge. Add to your summer salads or, for an adults-only treat, slice into thin strips and add to a gin and tonic.

TWEED POLICE hosted a special art competition for Cudgen Primary School students on Wednesday, November 30. The competition was designed to acknowledge the great work by some of our local students developing their art and creativity skills. In September 2016, Tweed/Byron Police held an Art competition for Primary School aged students with the theme being “Police and Christmas”. The competition was a great success with numerous entries received which made the judging tough. Superintendent Wayne Starling attended Cudgen Primary School, where he presented certificates to the winners and runner up at the school assembly in front of their fellow students and teachers. The winners are (pictured below): Tully Cambell (Year 3) and Jack Butler (Year 4). Runner Up: Braydon Gregory - (Year 4) Winner’s art work has been printed on Community and Police Christmas cards. Supt Starling said he wanted to thank all students who submitted artwork for the competition.

The person that you are trying to be has been caught out by the person you are. It’s like an out-of-body thing.” Everyone is invited to join the artist at the official opening of ‘Performance’ by Gold Coast City Gallery Director Tracy Cooper-Lavery at 6pm (for 6.30pm) DST on Saturday 10 December 2016. At 2pm DST on Sunday 19 February 201, all are welcome to attend a Q&A session between the artist and Dr Laini Burton, Lecturer, Design, Head of Studio Art and Honours, Queensland College of Art, Gold Coast on topics including the artist’s life, female representation, self and identity.

FILMS with Mia THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS Based on the 2012 best-selling novel of the same title written by M.L.Stedman, The Light Between Oceans is, despite its title pointing to light, a dark movie. The narrative revolves around a parental love triangle. Tom, a WWI veteran working as a lighthouse keeper on the uninhabited Janus Rock in Western Australia, and his wife Isabel, are living in isolation and trying unsuccessfully to have a baby. After two miscarriages, a sort of deus ex-machina brings them a baby they ﬁnd adrift at sea in a rowboat an infant girl with her dead father. “ You have a light inside you” Tom had written to Isabel after ﬁrst meeting her, but the bond of love that connects the characters and motivates their actions actually brings them to a dark place.

Years after rescuing the girl and taking her as their daughter the couple return to the mainland for leave only to discover that “there are other people in the world” and keeping the child has “devastated one of them”: the birth mother of the child, whose identity they accidentally discover. The couple is then faced with the enormous moral dilemma of their actions…

AN EXHIBITION of new work by one of Australia’s ‘most collectable artists’, Abbey McColloch’s ‘Performance’ , will feature at Tweed Regional Gallery from December 9, 2016 - February 26, 2017. Art Collector magazine named McCulloch as one of ‘Australia’s 50 most Collectable Artists’ in 2009, 2010 and 2011. McCulloch’s success is demonstrated by her selection as a finalist in the Archibald Prize in 2007, 2009 and 2013 for her portraits of actresses Nell, Toni Collette and Naomi Watts. Her works featured in a solo exhibition at Art Stage Singapore in 2014, and last year she was invited by iconic UK photographer Nick Knight to cover Paris Fashion Week, with her drawings featured on his fashion website SHOWstudio. McCulloch is clearly one of Australia’s most recognisable contemporary figurative painters. In her exhibition catalogue essay, Dr Laini Burton writes: “Like bursts from a camera shutter, the series of works on display in ‘Performance’ capture not only the most consciously posed and poised bodies, but those moments in between … where gestures belie the vivacious, confident woman caught only a millisecond before. Somehow, we all know one of these fabulous creatures. She oozes with selfpossession, acuity and style. She has a kind of elan, or je ne sais quoi that can be neither bought or photoshopped … In this moment, McCulloch’s aim comes into sharp relief … She asks simply, ‘What do you want from her?’ And in asking this question, McCulloch characterises the expectations we place on others and ourselves in the performance of everyday life.” Ms McColloch said, “The works in ‘Performance’ are about the ways that we perform for others - and ourselves. They are about our fictional selves revealing more about us and how our veneer can be more telling. I asked some friends to sit for me but I wasn’t particularly interested in capturing their likeness, I just wanted to play around with

TUMBULGUM HALL will be transformed into an other-worldly place for two performances of an Opera Queensland and Arts Northern Rivers production on December 16 and 17. An all-local cast has been announced for the production, Tumbulgum and the Countdown to Midnight at the First Supper between Now and Forever, which is being staged as part of the If These Halls Could Talk project. Eight singers from the Northern Rivers region, all with a range of professional experience were chosen from an open audition process. Audiences will be taken on a musical journey into the next world by a tale based on stories from Tumbulgum Hall and the surrounding community. A mix of musical styles, from sea shanties and folk music to traditional opera and

original songs from local artists, will be used to tell the story about a terrible collision on the river and the souls of those who died. Each soul waits on the riverbank to find out who will be taken into the afterlife, waiting for the Ferryman to decide. The production will be staged at Tumbulgum Hall at 7.30pm on each night and will conclude the If These Halls Could Talk project, a region-wide season of contemporary arts events held in seven community halls from September 17 December 17. Tickets can be booked at ifthesehallscouldtalk.com.au or by phoning (02) 6628 8120. Tickets are selling quickly, with Friday night already sold out and only a limited number of seats still available for the Saturday night show.

Hi all, welcome to this week’s local sounds. So you have this great band that rehearses once a week, but that’s about it. Why aren’t you playing in every venue in a 200km radius? It’s a great accomplishment to have a band that sounds fantastic, but you have to start somewhere. I’ve noticed over the years that usually there’s one person in the band that does most of the behind the scenes work. Most players just want to turn up to the gig, play, pack up and leave. There is so much more involved than that. Register your band name, have professional photos taken, do a video clip, get an ABN, and design a logo, posters and even a banner for your live gigs. Start a Facebook page, Instagram, twitter, sound cloud, Bandcamp etc. If you are the only one in the band that does the work then you will have to take a commission when you do secure your gigs. Look the part, as I said in one of my

last articles when you’re being paid to do a job you’re paid to be presentable. Start contacting venues but make sure you have your EPK ready. An EPK is an Electronic Press kit, most agencies will require this and if you have one prepared then it’s as simple as emailing venues, you will have a better chance to get your foot in the door. If you play original or cover music sign up to APRA (Australian Performing Rights Association) and every time you do a gig with original songs you get royalties. You also have to put down the cover songs you do so the original band who wrote the songs get paid a royalty. I get so many bands saying to me there’s no work out there; I don’t believe that’s true. If you want work you have to do your homework. Follow some of the simple steps I have mentioned above and you’ll be well on your way to making a living out of music.

RESTORE FUNDING TO TWEED VALLEY WOMEN’S SERVICE PETITION To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales. The Petition of citizens of New South Wales brings to the attention of the House • the Tweed Valley Women’s Service has provided counselling, education, mentoring, crisis accommodation, transitional housing support and cultural safety for women and children experiencing domestic violence in the Tweed Shire for 30 years.; • the Tweed Valley Women’s Service was advised on 17 December 2015 that their contract was suddenly cancelled by their lead agency On Track Community Programs meaning $580,000 in NSW State Government funding along with 13 jobs have been cut. • as a result of this funding cut the Tweed Valley Women’s Service was forced to close the doors after 30 years of providing safety, refuge and support to the women and children of the region. • the forced closure of this vital service leaves a devastating gap in services for victims of domestic violence in the Tweed Shire. The undersigned petitioners therefore ask the Legislative Assembly to • Immediately restore needed funding to the Tweed Valley Women’s Service to enable them to reopen and operate this vital service.

On Track Community Programs calls for Women’s Service campaign to end

IT HAS been almost 12 months since the shock announcement that On Track Community Programs (OTCP) was closing the Tweed Valley Women’s Service in Murwillumbah with several staff laid off prior to Christmas (2015). The closure resulted in a robust campaign to reinstate the service as well as acknowledge the hard work of local support workers during its eight years of operation. As the campaign continues with thousands of signatures gathered, the The Weekly spoke to OTCP Chief Executive Elaine De Vos to see where OTCP is helping those in need. Mrs De Vos said it was a “shame” that since the closure of the Tweed Valley Women’s Service a year ago, a lobby group continues to “misinform the community about the availability of domestic and family violence services in the Tweed”. “The reason for the closure was that the service had consistently failed to provide the protection and support to vulnerable clients required under the NSW Governmentbacked contract,” she said. “Contrary to critics’ claims, a wide range of excellent services (free of charge) is available in the Tweed coast and hinterland. “OTCP staff work in liaison with government and nongovernment agencies, including Police, and regularly receive positive feedback from the women (mostly) and families they help to find safety from abusive situations, and to rebuild their lives.” Mrs De Vos said the work carried out by OTCP is confidential and no client’s situation is “typical”, but two recent cases demonstrated the success that OTCP is achieving. “A mother with young children came to our Tweed Heads office after a significant DV incident, having decided she would not be returning to the family home,” Mrs De Vos said. “Counselling and referrals were arranged, and the woman agreed to a refuge placement to ensure the safety of herself and her children. “As part of a range of measures, OTCP used brokerage to fund two weeks rent in advance and provided her with a $400 Op Shop voucher to enable her to shop for furniture. “The family is now doing extremely well and is very grateful for OTCP’s assistance.

“In another case, an overseas born woman with a young baby sought help after abuse by her ex-husband, the only person she knew in Australia. “She had no income, no savings, and was desperate and confused. “We helped her to contact Centrelink, attend regular counselling, access a refuge, and begin a visa process. “Our staff report that when she exited the refuge she was stable, confident, happy and very grateful for the assistance of OTCP. “Life is now on-track for her and her child, and she has just moved interstate, linked up with ethnic community members, and is about to begin studies in aged care.” Mrs De Vos said these were just two of many examples of how OTCP, over the past year, has established a “reliable and professional support service in the field of domestic and family violence”. “This includes culturally appropriate support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients,” she said. “The community has every reason to feel confident that we can provide help to anyone in need of this support, wherever they live and whatever their circumstances. “Suggesting otherwise not only maligns a wellperforming organisation but seeks to undermine the compassion and commitment of our staff.” Mrs De Vos said it was time for the lobbying campaign to end and for those involved to “direct their energies towards more constructive activities”. Read The Weekly next week to find out more from the former Tweed Valley Women’s Service advocates, including Richmond Federal MP Justine Elliot and former employees who continue to campaign for the Women’s Service to re-open. Where to get help: OTCP provided the number of the domestic violence intake line which is:1300 355 305. This service operates 24 hours a day, seven days per week including public holidays and over Christmas-New Year. Give us your thoughts: Do you think the campaign to re-open the Tweed Valley Women’s Service should be abandoned? Or do you feel services have suffered in Murwillumbah since the closure?

Mangrove Jacks are being caught around bridges, jetties and rock walls throughout the river system. A few Tailor still being caught off the beaches, also Whiting in the gutters – especially around dawn, before the wind gets up. Kingfish are still the most prevalent offshore. Snapper, Amberjack and the odd Pearl Perch are also being caught. For the Kingies, use metal jig knife, or livies. Further north, off the southern Gold Coast there are some Squire and the first odd Mackerel appearing. Halco lures and Pillies are working well. Win a fishing Kayak for Christmas with the in-store raffle at Tweed Tackle & Marine, and get out amongst them!

Good Companions

THERE HAVE been good size Whiting in the Tweed River. Around the sugar mill near Murwillumbah and down river from there.

FEATURED BUSINESS

Let Massage Sooth Away Stress... Massage is an art! If done correctly it can help with any number of elements as well as promoting a feeling of calmness and wellbeing that lasts for longer than the treatment. As a spokesman for Michael’s Massage Service he said the average person may be in pain from any number of daily activities – computer, working, building, gardening, hairdressing, sales, office work, lifting, over exercising or just being a parent. Pregnant women who are uncomfortable and tired can benefit from a massage with Michael, available is a special mattress for those clients. The clinic specializes in Swedish and therapeutic or relaxation massages which are done by a qualified masseur with 15 years experience. Stroking, rubbing and kneading different areas of the body helps relieve tension, stress and

Air Conditioning

restore subtleness to tight and sore muscles. It also improves the blood circulation and boosts the body’s lymphatic system. You have the added beneﬁt of a pair of sympathetic ears for an hour or however long you need at that time. If Michael senses extra time is needed he is not a clock watcher. Of course you do not have to be sick or in pain to have a massage. Many people have a weekly or fortnightly massage simply because they ﬁnd it so enjoyable and feel great afterwards. Instead of waiting till you have to have one. I have times to suit the working person. For appointments either at the clinic or for mobile service: Phone 0439 293 384. Gift Vouchers are available (see advert in Trades & Professional Services, under massage)

WICKET TO WICKET

-with Steve Twohill

Tweed Seniors Make State Country Finals Play Off In a low scoring contest the Tweed Open side 8/97 managed a tight win over Coffs Harbour 96 in their NSW Country Cup quarter final game at Seabreeze Oval. Sent in to bat the home side took early wickets before Coffs recovering at 2/64 and then losing the remaining 8 wickets in quick succession. Caleb Ziebell starred taking 4/28 with excellent support from James Julius, Ryan McCloy and Oscar Van Megchelen all taking 2 wickets each. In reply the locals struggled against a strong bowling line-up with Ryan McCloy and Jamie Bennett making vital runs to ensure a close fought 2 wicket win. Jubilant captain Jayden Hoare made special mention of his five bowlers and the general fielding efforts of the side, saying it was among their best representative performances he had been a part of. The stocky hard hitting batsman has done an excellent job in getting the side to gel over the past month. The side has the talent to be serious contenders for the finals series being held in the Clarence Valley over the Xmas New Year period.

Tweed Valley Sides Consolidate Top Four Positions in Coastal League In the Ballina / Tweed Coastal League, Cudgen and Murwillumbah have consolidated their top four positions behind leader Tintenbar East Ballina. Cudgen 7/258 had an excellent win over the Ballina Bears 162 with Harvey Moase, siblings Parker and Oscar Bryant along with Hayden Wilson are following in their father’s footsteps in making significant contributions to ensure a Hornets victory. At Rabjone s Oval Murwillumbah 3/73 were well set in their run chase against Alstonville 188 before thunderstorms brought the game to an early end. Young all-rounder Kade Hill continues to impress whilst

Adam Housen took 4/29 to continue a good start to the season. The final round before Xmas sees Terranora host Murwillumbah at Bilambil.

Twilight Tonk Finals Series The Could have Been Champions 6 week program wraps up this week at Rabjones Oval complex. David Readings Burringbar’s Gorky Park are in a battle for 3 or 4th spot against the Show Ponies on Les Cave. Whilst in the main game Isaac Readings Da Boys are up against the wily Hills Hoists side that feature Lionel Foster, Clint O’Keefe, Mick Roselon and Brendon Hill among others. Have a great week ahead Steve T

Man nabbed with cannabis claims “pain relief” A Fingal man, who was caught carrying cannabis and oxycotin at Fingal Road on Saturday, December 3 told police he’d found the prescription medications and the cannabis was for pain relief.

Bowls Notes

with Judy Tuckey

Greens filled to capacity for Versatile Fours

L to R: Steve Piggott, Marie Comerford, George Moore, Bert Moore.

Pottsville Bowling Club’s Versatile Fours conducted over the week end proved to be a very successful event as the greens were filled to capacity with contestants from around the Tweed together with teams from Nimbin, Iluka, Ballina and Helensvale. Formatted on five games, i.e, singles (21 Up), triples (18 ends), 2 games pairs (18 ends) and finally, a 16 ends game of fours certainly kept the action full on at all times. Overall winners on the day, who, by the way, were the only team in the tournament to win ALL five games, was a composite squad made up of Steve Piggott, Helensvale, Marie Comerford and

George Moore, Pottsville and Bert Moore, Kingscliff. A brilliant result for these very fine bowlers. Ocean Shores’ Barbara Sprengel has once again made her presence felt in their club championships. Barbara teamed up with Samantha Curtis in the Open Pairs and in a great final stoush the ladies were able to defeat Marj Wilks and Janine Howell to claim victory. And, in a close encounter in the Consistency final, Barbara fired up again to claim victory over evergreen Glenys Johnston. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Busy and blustery weekend for Tweed Sailors - home and away. THE TWEED Valley Sailing Club held its 4th heat of the Summer Pointscore Series in near perfect sailing conditions on the Tweed River this weekend. Up to 20 knot winds and a strong tide making for fast, fun sailing for the 16 boats competing.

Julie Hartwig Photography

The crowd of spectators enjoyed watching the race spread along the grassy river bank at Fingal Head with the kids helping out with flags and horn. The club welcomes Suzanne Blatcher & Lydia as new trainees for the timekeeping roles. First to finish was Murwillumbah local Dave Chester with Karen Vidler on Hobie 16 - Sledder. First Corsair home was No. 199 Minnow skipper Reg Court from Victoria with Deborah Flannery and Peter Ross. Sunday was also the 3rd heat of the Tweed River NS14 & Laser Championships. 5 Boats competed in the NS14 class: 1st Glenn Slight and Kynan Luescher on “Radical Phase”, 2nd Malcolm Maiden & Tom Busbridge and 3rd Mark and Ty Banbury on “Sulis Blue” - the Banbury’s best result so far - this is a team to watch! This was the third win for Glenn and Kynan and with two heats remaining, they appear certain to win the series - but anything could happen. The Laser win went to Gary McCrohon with 2nd John Haywood

Overall Pointscore (Handicapped) results will be posted on line. Meanwhile, a hard core group of Tweed Sailors competed in the Monomasters regatta this weekend - sweltering up on the Sunshine Coast at Lake Cootharaba SC. The regatta included the single hander Impulse and 3 crew Corsair State Titles. Monique Smith from Elanora and her team, Matt Andrews and Kate Yeomans came home triumphant taking 2nd Place in their first ever Corsair State Titles on Corsair “Swell Lady” while in the Impulse States Adam Hurt from Fingal Head battled through all 6 races in up to 30 knot winds and very choppy conditions while many of his fellow competitors went for 1 capsize too many and retired to the shore. Adam’s skill and experience paid off and he took 14th out of 26 entrants despite being in the oldest Impulse in the fleet. Next Event for our local sailing club is Sunday the 11th of December, the most competitive class race, the Tweed River Corsair Class Championship, for the big three handed 16ft boats. This will be a great event for spectators as these boats will all be flying Spinnakers. 1pm Race Start at Fingal Boat Ramp. Look out for Monique Smith on “Swell Lady” you can’t miss the lime green hull and pink spinnaker! She is expected to set the pace after her great results this weekend.

WELL THE World’s best surfers are gearing up to take on one of the world’s heaviest waves – The Banzai Pipeline, held in memory of Andy Irons. Holding a competition window of December 8 - 20, (Hawaii time) and can only be held on the best four days of surf, the legendary Banzai Pipeline serves as the ultimate proving ground. The Billabong Pipe Masters is also the third and final stage of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing WSL Specialty Series. Newly crowned WSL Champion John John Florence comes into this event with significant momentum after clinching the World Title in Portugal and his recent victory at the Hawaiian Pro, the first stop of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing. Growing up with Pipeline in his backyard, local hero Florence hopes to take the last win of the CT season, despite having yet to earn a victory at this event. \I would not mind that John John wraps up the Pipe Masters and the Triple Crown at this event, to make it the best year ever, for a surfer who has already won the Eddie early this year. 2 foot or 30 foot he has shown he is the best surfer in the world. Jordy Smith, the South African current World No. 3, has proven to be a fierce opponent on the North Shore with his recent victory at the Vans World Cup of Surfing QS10,000. Smith will be up against

Hawaiian Keanu Asing and Bede Durbidge in Round 1. Durbidge, who injured his pelvis last year, has made a tremendous comeback so far during the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing and will continue to charge at the Pipe Masters. I spoke to Bede via email this week, he is having a great time on the rock and ready to go. The Billabong Pipe Masters will be webcast Live on WorldSurfLeague. com as well as the WSL app, or tune in from 5am on foxsports. North Straddy Kid Makes the WSL Tour! Well they say it is a changing of the generations, no confirmed answer on what Mick Fanning is doing next year, and some media asking if Parko is going to go around again. To me, I am sure they both will give it one more run, but look out the new kids on the block are knocking down doors, and one of the best is North Stradbroke surfer Ethan Ewing who has qualified for the tour at only 17 years of age. Last to qualify that you was Taj Burrow, who decided to wait another year, but Ewing is ready to go, and will have his fellow North Straddy Islander and Point Lookout Boardrider Bede Durbidge on tour with him, Bede sure to get the injury wildcard. Watch for this kid, a style like Andy Irons, he hust rips the bag out of it.

Valley Colleges, St Josephs Kingscliff and Kings College on the Gold Coast, they have come to learn and enjoy the great game of basketball. Youth League is evolving and 2017 will be a very exciting time. MEN’S LEAGUE GRAND FINAL PREVIEW The Grand Final teams have been decided! Tuesday the Bushrangers took on GIO Oddballs to see who would meet Tropics in the decider. This game had it all, solid defence, strong offence and lots of niggle as neither team took control until the final quarter. But it was GIO Oddballs who came through in what was a classic finals contest. This Sunday, 11 December at 4pm, should be a massive clash. Both sides have played tight games all season, with Tropics having the edge the past 2 times they met. So here are some key players from each side to look out for: THE TROPICS Joel and Cooper Black – Team leaders and backed by a massive amount of Gold Coast representative experience, Joel and Cooper are everywhere on the court. Without doubt two of the toughest players in the league. Kieran McAskill – Another Gold Coast Representative, Kieran has improved out of sight this season. His height and ability to get inside is a determining factor for The Tropics. Very strong free throw shooter. Thomas Byrnes - For a big man, Tom gets around the court with ease. He is a real danger wherever he is, from mid range to 3

point shooting. GIO ODDBALLS Adam Thornley – The ‘Tallman’ is not only a massive asset to the Brisbane Bullets as court announcer, he is a huge factor to Oddballs. His size and strength cannot be understated. Expect the big fella to get plenty of ball inside the key. Craig Noble – Like many of the Oddballs, Craig came out of retirement. A former ABA player, Craig still has the skill and pace to worry any side. His aggression cannot be understated. Sasha Ozmanovic – Last season the bearded man was playing in the top level Waratah League in NSW for Hunter! This year and a move north sees him playing in Murwillumbah. If Sash has his eye in, 3 pointers will be dropping from everywhere! Very strong under the basket at both ends! Jordan Merota – New to the game, but young and fast. Jordan has some quality skills that Tropics will need to watch very closely! My prediction – This will go to the wire. But I do predict a fast and very physical encounter. GRAND FINAL DAY SUNDAY 11 DECEMBER Our Youth League will be playing a couple games from 2.45pm as curtain raiser to the Men’s League Final. Grand Final tips off at 4pm! Everyone is welcome, cold drinks (no alcohol) will be available for purchase. Until Next Week, Happy Ballin’

Sh ting Hoops As 2016 draws to a close, what an amazing year of basketball we have had at Murwillumbah Basketball. Aussie Hoops has been hugely successful, with each term fully subscribed.
