How to Zero Your Power Bill - and Stay Connected to the Grid On the 1st July power prices increased by 20% in NSW. Solar Feed in Tariffs doubled. In this special report you will find out how you can get the most benefit from solar power on your house and minimise the impact of higher power prices.

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

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

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

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

Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels and Batteries if Export is Limited If Essential Energy will let you export 5 kWh or more to the grid, then stacking your roof with as many solar panels as possible will work well for you. If export is limited, consider storing extra power in a battery bank for night time use. A combination of solar for export, self use maximised during the day and battery storage is a great strategy to bring your bill closer to zero for medium households with 3-4 people.

If You Use More Than 25 kWh per Day... Install 8+ kW of Solar Panels and Solar Batteries Export 5 kWh to the grid, use as much as you can during the day and store power for night time use in a larger bank of solar batteries. Power prices are expected to rise by another 50% in the next 2 years, so everything you put in now will work even better in the years to come. Get a free energy plan from 888 Solar Tek because every home is different and you need help to get your solar system sized right and working perfectly.

Solar Batteries Ensure You Never Have Blackouts in the Storm Season

Solar Rebate to Drop in 2018 But Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Panic!

Every year, for the next 14 years, the value of subsidies for new installations of solar panels will fall. The payment is made based on the installation date, so many solar companies are getting people into a panic to sign up now or miss out. The incremental decrease is about $300 less for a 6 kW solar system installed after 31st Dec 2017.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Panic! 888 Solar Tek will pay the full 2017 rebate for any system ORDERED before 31st of Dec 2017 regardless of install date.

You also get 2 Extra Panels Free with any Solar System

Until the 22nd Decemebr 2017, 888 Solar Tek will add two extra panels to each New solar system ordered for FREE! You get 2 extra 270 Watt, tier 1 Seraphim solar panels - over half a kW more power with our highest quality Seraphim panels - the first panel in the world to ever pass the Photon Labs independent torture test. You will also receive FREE solar WiFi monitoring, setup on your phone, tablet or computer & expert tuition on how to get the most from your solar system.

Green Sea Turtles are set to hatch in late February

Our precious Tweed Coast Bush Stone Curlews are disappearing. Photos: Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers

TWEED VALLEY Wildlife Carers (TVWC) have issued an urgent plea for residents to be mindful of several fragile creatures across the Tweed Coast including Green Sea Turtles and Bush Stone Curlews, who need all the help they can get. The Green Sea Turtles have recently returned home to the Tweed Coast where they have laid hundreds of eggs and TVWC now anticipate 200 turtles to be hatched at Kingscliff and Hastings Point. “This year - four turtle nests were reported and recorded along our coastline here in the Tweed,” a spokesperson for TVWC said. “Two of these nests - one at Fingal Head and the other at Salt have been lost - but the two remaining at Kingscliff and Hastings Point have been kept safe to date.” The spokesperson said through the support and safekeeping of the community the turtle nests are expected to erupt with live hatchlings mid-tolate February. “In the meantime, Please keep dogs on leads when walking along beaches to ensure these nests aren’t dug up and please encourage each others to stay off the sand dunes,” the spokesperson said. “All turtle nests in the tweed last season were unfortunately destroyed in this way. “If you are lucky enough to witness the hatchlings emerge observe with great delight - but please allow them a safe, clear passage to the shoreline.”

“The call of the curlew is brilliantly distinct and can be heard best at night when they are most active.” Sadly, in spite of all attempts by these birds and local wildlife groups to support the remaining few - the call of the Curlew is fading from the Tweed Shire. “This summer, many newly hatched curlew chicks have died, and over the past several years very few chicks have survived to adulthood in the Tweed Shire,” a spokesperson for TVWC said. “Statistically between 70 to 80 per cent of young curlew chicks never reach adulthood. Tragedy struck last week when an adult Curlew died after being hit by a car at Cabarita. “The second, rescued in Kingscliff after being reported with a severed leg, had been rushed to Currumbin Wildlife Hospital but has also died,” the spokesperson said.. “With so few Curlews remaining - the conservation value on each healthy remaining bird is escalating rapidly.” Wildlife groups are now working together with Tweed Shire Council and other environmental groups to put better measures in place to support the Bush Stone Curlew - but in the meantime - TVWC have asked that community members keep a watchful eye on these gentle giants and help “save our Curlews”. Please take care on roads at dusk and dawn, keep dogs on leash whilst walking through parklands and report Curlew sightings to TVWC Phone: (02) 6672 4789

The spokesperson also emphasised that Green Sea Turtles, must make their own way to the water. “This is in order for them to warm up before their first swim,” they said. “They must also ‘map’ their route to enable nesting females to return to their birthplace and nest once they have reached maturity. If anyone happens to spot any new turtle tracks on an early morning walk they are being urged to contact Australian Sea Bird Rescue on (02) 6686 2852. Meanwhile, residents living between Fingal Head and Pottsville are being asked to take care on the roads, following the recent deaths of two adult Bush Stone Curlews. According to TVWC the tall, slender birds are best seen at night when they wander on to open parklands to feed on insects, molluscs, crabs, small lizards and seeds. “A highly intelligent bird, the Curlew has adapted well to development in the Tweed and has learnt how to avoid peak traffic times when crossing roads to feed, and to make use of lighting in caravan parks at night to catch insects and other food,” a spokesperson for TVWC said. “This summer, as diligent parents, a Curlew pair who have repeatedly nested at Salt Village over the past few years, and were also seen to be using a new technique to successfully help their newborn chicks up the concrete guttering when stuck crossing a road.

Rail trail at risk Current evidence shows the economic benefit to regions where rail trails have been created. Case studies on Australian, New Zealand and American rail trails can be seen on www.northernriversrailtrail.org There are people who would love the train to come back on our historic rail line built in the late 1800s but sadly no Government of any political persuasion is going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a railway line that a strong economic case cannot be made for. Rail trails provide residents and visitors the opportunity to enjoy a healthy recreational pursuit at a time when we have increasing health issues due to lack of exercise. What a great opportunity for family time together in the beautiful outdoors. Further we have the economic benefits provided to local service industries, through provision of refreshments, accommodation and transport. Landowners have expressed concerns but evidence from studies indicate most of these issues do not occur. In fact many landowners have indicated that active management of the corridor is better than no management. Many former opponents of rail trails have become supporters as they have come to see the benefits. On one of my trips to the Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail I recall asking a local newsagent about opposition to the original idea. He told me that there were quite a few people not happy, particularly farmers, but now you see the farmers closing their gates to allow their cows to cross the rail trail, often talking to cyclists as the cows meander across the trail. He said you would be hard pressed to find anyone against the rail trail these days. Rail trails are usually managed by a management committee and maintenance is often done by

volunteers with assistance from councils as required. NSW has largely been left behind on rail trails by Victoria and Queensland who have seen the huge benefits and have actively sought tourists to boost their economies. Two successful trails close to us are the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail of 133km and in Newcastle the shorter Fernleigh Rail Trail of 16km. The Tweed could say no to the rail trail thus the corridor may sit there unused for the next 50 years, perhaps forever as all the studies over recent years have talked of a very fast train preferably following a coastal route between Sydney and Brisbane. The economic benefit of this has been established and private companies have expressed interest. The money on the table for the rail trail will disappear and perhaps go to Cessnock City Council to fund their rail trail. Murwillumbah and the Tweed Valley will sadly be the losers. Gerry Matthews, Kielvale

Majority support trains Well Cr Byrnes states the rail trail was welcomed by most of the Tweed Shire how misinformed he is. 6.5 million dollars would be better spent on our roads, not a stupid rail trail which will only be used by a very few people. Only the people who think they are going to make money out of it support it. How are people going to get to Murwillumbah to use it. Who got the brown paper bag? Gordon Lee, Tweed Heads

Affordable transport needed Hi Justine, as you say in your ads you are on our side, fighting for the issues important for us, well here’s an important one: please advise where do you stand on the issue of improving congested roads, made worse by increasing population, and the waste of the possibility of an alternative form of transport through the Tweed in the rail tracks being converted to a rail trail? Living in Burringbar, every time we drive along the railway line, we shake our heads at the short sighted decision to remove the rail service. My young granddaughter and family is in Brisbane, but after many trips tackling the M1 with the traffic and the holdups and the fear of the enormous b-doubles barrelling past so close, I have driven to Varsity Lakes to catch the train. But having driven that far, it seems as if I might as well carry on driving. I tried the coach once, over three hours sitting, with no food or drink allowed. Never again. Then there’s the proposed development at Mooball of 250

Coral not coal for the future

and requires the strongest possible environmental protection. It is already under great stress. We must do everything we can to ensure that it is preserved for generations to come. Not only is it an environmental asset, it also supports tens of thousands of jobs for Australians...” “Labor is committed to zero net pollution by 2050, in line with the Paris Agreement. We believe that Australia can be a leading clean energy superpower...” “Renewables are Australia’s future. We need a clean energy policy that gives us certainty and encourages further investment in renewables... Having a plan for renewables is not only good for our environment; it is good for our economy, too... Renewables are becoming cheaper than coal. They create decent, sustainable jobs.” Research undertaken by the Australia Institute reveals that only 1,494 jobs will be created by the Adani coal mine, not 10,000 as falsely claimed by Adani and the Queensland Labor Government. However, 69,000 plus tourismrelated jobs are at stake if the Great Barrier Reef is not protected. Even though Queensland Labor has honoured their election promise to veto a taxpayer-funded loan for Adani to build a 388km rail line from the mine to the shipping port, they support the biggest coal mine in Australia’s history being built in the Galilee Basin, ignoring the impact it will have on the Great Artesian Basin and the Great Barrier Reef. And Federal Labor has not publicly stated their opposition to the Adani coal mine or changed their policy to ‘no new coal mines’ as we transition to 100 per cent renewable. How can Labor achieve their zero net pollution target by 2050 and how can we believe that they are committed to effective and immediate climate change action when they support the dirty, outdated fossil-fuel intensive coal industry? Dave Norris, Pottsville

I recently received an email from Federal Labor Deputy Opposition Leader Tanya Plibersek in response to my concerns about Labor’s support for the Adani coal mine. Here are some extracts: “Climate change and environmental protection are among the most important challenges facing this country. I do not believe that the (Adani) Carmichael mine project stacks up economically or environmentally. Businesses are even refusing to finance the project....” “The Great Barrier Reef is Australia’s greatest natural resource

I ’ m g r at i f i e d my c a l l fo r consideration of residents-only parking in Kingscliff drew such a quick response and Leigh Teske (TVW Feb 8) raises some important issues as to why the problem will only escalate without action by Tweed Shire Council. But with today’s technology, parking meters and resident tokens are stone-age solutions. If the off-street parking area in the one-way section of Marine Parade, the so-called “cafe strip”, or a portion of the off-street area from

houses. Wouldn’t it make sense to have the Mooball Station operating into the future? Not to mention the application to make the North Byron Parklands a permanent festival site with extra events proposed for many more patrons? The traffic congestion is bad enough now. What a headache it will be in the future! I know that’s into Byron Shire, let’s connect up! Imagine how popular the train would be from Byron to Yelgun, or Murwillumbah to Yelgun for festival-goers. Are you on the side of the few who would like to use a trail, or for the whole gamut of society from mums with bubs, to the elderly, to the incapacitated, to those on a budget or job-seeking being able to access more affordable transport? Serena Dolinska, Upper Burringbar

Save corridor for trains So many signed a petition to have the rail trail based on the idea that this would protect the corridor. Many of us have since done more research and wish we had not signed given the real implications. Everyone I speak to have expressed they want other options to use this corridor. If there were no other options then I suppose a rail trail would be a good idea, but we do have other options and economical ones, and these have not been adequately investigated, probably as there are people very keen to see the corridor available for development further down the line than the rail trail section. Overseas we see innovative rail projects happening all the time and we could be at the forefront of this in Oz. Tourism and population growth are the highest in this region of NSW, our transport infrastructure needs to support our future needs. Our council needs to appreciate the full implications of the rail trail on our community and understand our concerns with the potential loss of the corridor for future needs.

AMAZING PACKAGE DEAL

Kingscliff parking saga

the Cudgen Surf Club south, were to be set aside only for residents, enforcement is easy. Residents could be issued a digital token similar to tollway tokens, say a maximum of two per household. Any vehicle entering the carpark without a token trips a camera recording its’ number plate, and a fine is automatically issued to the registered owner; no police or Council Ranger involvement needed. An even easier solution would be for residents to record the registration numbers of eligible vehicles to Council with proof of ownership, and the same system described above would operate but with only a plate recognition camera needed, saving the expense of token manufacture and issue. N u m b e r p l at e r e c o g n i t i o n technology has now replaced registration stickers in NSW and there’s no reason it can’t be used for parking regulation with a resulting saving in manpower and resources. Jeremy Cornford, Kingscliff

Stop the trucks

I am a resident in Riverview Street Murwillumbah and accept that this is a main thoroughfare and traffic is a part of everyday life The six months when the cane trucks are thundering around the shire my house regularly shakes to its foundations, no drama this industry is what sustains many businesses within the shire, I get it. What I don’t get is the decision by council to give the green light to b-doubles carrying water from our precious aquifers to benefit one person. So about two weeks ago whilst working into the small hours I heard this crashing thundering noise coming from Riverview Street in time to see this huge steel monster speed past my window, under the bright glow of the street light, yep it was a water extractor, supposedly allowed to operate between 7am/7pm. Two mornings ago at 5am I saw an empty b-double heading up to extract two tankers full of our precious ground water. Give us a break, any punter can do the maths and see massive profit to one landholder whilst logically the damage being done (I’ll show outside my house) will be paid for by ratepayers and costs will be accumulating as more pressure is put onto infrastructure that cant handle this type of usage. So I say no way to stealing more water and is our arrogance so great as to believe that what is happening in Cape Town couldn’t happen here Emma Keep, Murwillumbah

Rail trail protest planned DEBATE IS raging around the future use of the rail corridor from Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek, following the recent announcement of federal funding and plans to begin construction this year, as several residents plan to march against the rail trail today (Thursday, February 15). M e m b e r s o f t h e Re i n s t a l l Murwillumbah Rail group, along with the Northern Rivers Railway Action Group (NRRAG), will march from the Murwillumbah Railway Station from 3pm to the Tweed Shire Council Chambers where they will enter the public access meeting at 4pm. The rally follows the Federal Government’s announcement to back the Northern Rivers Rail Trail from Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek combined with the already committed State Government funds of $6.5 million to a combined cost of $13 million. Councillors will also vote on whether to carry out a Shire-wide survey agenda item raised by Mayor Katie Milne, which she believes is long overdue and could determine the best path forward for the corridor based on public input. Beth Shelley, Chairperson for the NRRAG, said the group believes the community wants the rail trail to run beside the railway instead of ripping up the tracks and losing the option of trains in the future. “This rally will demonstrate that the community questions the need to close the railway in order to develop a cycling and walking tourist attraction,” Ms Shelley said. “If the funding was used to build the path beside the track, then we could see

if it actually does draw tourism to the area without risking the loss of future rail options.” It should be noted that plans to construct the rail trail are yet to be revealed, however, suggestions include covering the current train tracks rather than removing them. Ms Shelley said since the closure of the Casino to Murwillumbah rail line Trains On Our Tracks (TOOT) and NRRAG have collected more than 18 thousand signatures demanding reinstatement of train services. Longtime advocate for a dual rail line and rail trail and NRRAG member Bill Fenelon has also questioned whether the rail trail would protect the corridor. “Railway Corridor Protection is currently achieved by virtue of the NSW Transport Administration Act 1988 No 109 Section 99A, this is the strongest protection the corridor can have,” he said. “It requires an Act of Parliament to close the line before one inch can be sold.” Mr Fenelon urged residents to look up the Act and: “read it before believing unqualified statements about a bicycle path protecting the corridor,” he said. “Section 99A has worked very well to protect disused railway corridors all over the state, including the section of track between Murwillumbah and Condong.” Mr Fenelon also questioned who will pay for keeping the remaining 28-metres of the corridor clear, and: “who is going to pay for the constant maintenance the bike path will require,” he said. “While section 99A is in place, and the corridor remains railway property, the maintenance is the responsibility of the railways not ratepayers.”

Local News 5

Council to crack down on unlawful holiday letting

A Tweed Shire Council spokesperson had told The Weekly the maintenance cost was estimated to be between $250,000 and $300,000, however, it is unclear where these funds will come from. In further news, Tweed Shire Councillor Ron Cooper said he will raise an entirely new idea into the mix which proposes that the rail corridor could be used as a driverless mini car course. “The rail trail could allow the tourism use of driverless mini cars - safe for other users of the trail,” Cr Cooper said. “Elon Musk might choose to fund these vehicles to demonstrate the potential of battery-powered mini vehicles with solar panels on their roofs, in a scenic off-highway setting.” Cr Cooper told The Weekly that his idea has already gained some local support and he’s keen to hear whether Councillors would support writing to Mr Musk to gauge his interest. “I think this idea could be a huge win for the Tweed,” he said. “Not only would it provide the tourism boost that operators are calling for, but it would be one of the most unique projects in Australia.” Meanwhile, celebrations continue from the Northern Rivers Rail Trail (NRRT) group who have welcomed recent Federal Government funding that could make the rail trail a reality. The group said they remain committed to campaigning, urging supporters to back the plan, for more see page 20. YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe in a mixed use option for the rail trail and train line?

TWEED SHIRE Council will be pursuing legal action against an unapproved short-term holiday let at Casuarina as it deals with a spike in complaints about unauthorised operators across the Shire. In a media statement, Council said it had started investigating seven reported unauthorised short-term holiday let operations throughout the shire. “Council compliance officers are obliged to thoroughly investigate all seven instances of potentially prohibited or unauthorised short-term holiday lets and, if those procedurally fair compliance investigations produce substantive evidence of unauthorised operations, Council may take legal action in the NSW Land and Environment Court,” Director of Planning and Regulation Vince Connell said. “Our compliance officers are reporting a widespread lack of knowledge among property owners on the current statutory planning restrictions on short-term holiday lets and the relevant approvals processes they need to follow.” Council said the Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014 prohibits short-term holiday accommodation in specific residential zones including R1 - General Residential, R2 Low Density Residential, R5 - Large Lot Residential, B1 - Neighbourhood Centre, B5 - Business Development, B7 Business Park, and IN1 - General Industrial zone. Short-term holiday lets require a Development Application (DA) approval in R3 - Medium Density Residential, B2 - Local Centre, B3 - Commercial Core, and B4 - Mixed Use zones. “Council is committed to maintaining the principals of The Local Environmental Plan 2014 through Compliance enforcement action,” Mr Connell said. “Unapproved short-term holiday lets can adversely affect neighbourhood amenity through increased noise, traffic volumes and demand for infrastructure and reduced privacy. Thus the restrictions on short-term holiday lets in some zones reflect the needs of the broader community Council is compelled to represent.” Property owners seeking to establish a short-term holiday let should first check on Council’s current planning controls by visiting Council’s website or its Administrative Centre at either Murwillumbah or Tweed Heads. The New South Wales Government is yet to determine its broader policy position on short term holiday lets following the release of an Options Paper last year that asked for public feedback.

Popular Survive the Ride workshop back for 2018 Tweed Shire Council invites all motorcyclists to Survive the Ride by attending a free workshop on Sunday 4 March at the Canvas and Kettle, Civic and Cultural Centre, Tumbulgum Road, Murwillumbah. The workshop is run by former riding instructors and motorcycle highway patrol officers and is designed to help riders improve their riding decisions and manage risk through the use of roadcraft, riding techniques and riding gear. The two-hour theory session from 11.30am – 2pm caters to all rider levels. Motorbikes make up just four per cent of vehicles registered in New South Wales. Yet, in the northern region over the past five years, motorcyclists have accounted for 20.3 per cent of fatal road crashes. In the past 12 months, they have accounted for 15.9 per cent of fatal road crashes, resulting in nine deaths. “Speed was identified as a factor in eight out of nine of these fatal road crashes and in two of the nine speed and alcohol were both identified as contributory factors,” said Council Road Safety Officer Alana Brooks. “Motorcycling is more popular than ever and this is sadly reflected in an increase in motorcycle fatalities in our region.” The workshop is being run by Survive the Ride Association of NSW (STRA) Riders and is for experienced riders looking for a refresher and new riders wanting to get a few riding tips. “Riders are encouraged to take responsibility for their own safety – it doesn’t hurt any less when it’s not your fault,” said Survive the Ride Association’s David Tynan. Riders are encouraged to book a place at the workshop by phoning (02) 6670 2400.

One of the exhibits on display as part of the Abstraction: celebrating Australian women abstract artists exhibition. Red rings 1972–73 by Inge King. Painted steel, 60.8 × 45.7 × 121.9 cm. National Gallery of Australia, Canberra. Gift of the artist 2012. Donated through the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program.

Abstract exhibition comes to Gallery Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre is delighted to present the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) touring exhibition Abstraction: celebrating Australian women abstract artists, which opens on Friday 2 March. Drawing from the extensive collection of the NGA in Canberra, Abstraction will take audiences on a journey from the early 20th Century through to the present day with masterworks from the collection that are rarely on display. Curator Lara Nicholls said Abstraction celebrates women who have led the charge early on in this field showing confidence, curiosity and innovation as they engaged with one of the defining movements of the 20th Century. “The most striking thing about this exhibition is that, despite the fact that many of the women who are represented were innovators and leaders, many of them have fallen into relative obscurity,” Ms Nicholls said. “Their work was rarely exhibited or included in critical studies of Abstraction in this country and in this exhibition alone there are 26 works that have not been shown since their creation or premiere exhibition.” The exhibition reveals the remarkable contribution Australian women artists have made to abstract art through a wide range of media and whose influence still prevails today in contemporary art practice.

Abstraction features 74 works by 38 artists, including Margaret Preston, Dorrit Black, Grace Crowley and Anne Dangar through to Inge King, Yvonne Audette, Margo Lewers and Janet Dawson. It also features works from contemporary practioners such as Virginia Cuppaidge, Elizabeth Coats, Melinda Harper and Debra Dawes. “This exhibition also traces the remarkable contribution Indigenous women have made to the development and appreciation of abstraction in Australia and includes major works by Emily Kame Kngwarreye and Sally Gabori, among others,” Ms Nicholls said. Curated by the NGA, the national tour of Abstraction has been made possible through the generous support of the National Collecting Institutions Touring and Outreach Program, an Australian Government program aiming to improve access to the national collections for all Australians. All are welcome to join opening celebrations for the exhibition featuring guest speaker Dr Gerard Vaughan AM, Director, National Gallery of Australia, on Friday 2 March 2018 starting at 6pm. Prior to the official opening an exhibition preview will be conducted by Lara Nicholls, Curator 19th Century Australian Art, National Gallery of Australia, starting at 5.15pm. The exhibition is on display at Tweed Regional Gallery from Friday 2 March until Sunday 20 May 2018.

Bottle your fears and drink tap water instead Researchers in Canada have found that we may be responding to our fear of dying when we buy bottled water. A study from the University of Waterloo has found that most bottled-water advertising campaigns target a deep psychological vulnerability in humans; specifically targeting our most subconscious fear – the fear of dying. “Bottled water advertisements play on our greatest fears in two important ways,” said researcher Stephanie Cote in a study published in the Journal of Applied Environmental Education and Communication. “Our mortality fears make us want to avoid risks and, for many people, bottled water seems safer somehow, purer or controlled. “There is also a deeper subconscious force at work here, one that caters to our desire for immortality.” Canadians are expected to buy three billion litres of bottled water at a cost of $3.3 billion (a little more in Australian dollars) this year. In Australia, we spend $500 million a year on bottled water, paying up to 2000 times the cost of drinking from the tap in the Tweed. And, a massive 373 million plastic water bottles end up in landfill or litter our streets and waterways. “Yet we know the quality of Tweed’s drinking water is equal to the best bottled water in the world,” said Engineer Elizabeth Seidl. “While bottled water is regulated as a packaged food product by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), the regulation of our tap water is even more stringent.” The Public Health Act and Regulation requires our water quality assurance program to comply with the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. This means we test our tap water every week for a vast range of chemical and microbiological indicators, ensuring that it is always safe to drink. Our own NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities) accredited Tweed Laboratory Centre does the testing for Council. The results: Tweed’s tap water has a lower salt and mineral content than bottled water but a higher calcium content (depending on where the bottled water comes from) and we add fluoride to help protect our children’s teeth.

Get your hands dirty and help clean up Australia Clean Up Australia Day is fast approaching and Council is urging Tweed residents to get out and do their bit to tidy up the Shire. Three separate days have been set aside for the clean-up, Tuesday 27 February for businesses, Friday 2 March for schools and youth and Sunday 4 March for the greater community. Council is doing its part to support all participants by servicing pick-up points for all registered collectors. Council’s Clean Up Australia Day Coordinator Yvette van Amstel said it was a great way to get out and do something positive for the community with your neighbours. “If there is an area where you see litter piling up this is a

great opportunity to grab some friends and clean it up,” Ms van Amstel said. “Tweed Shire residents have collected more than three tonnes of rubbish on previous Clean Up Australia Days and we are hoping this year’s total is our biggest yet. “Everyone who registers to help out will be sent a kit including bags, gloves and other materials you will need on the day so it’s important to get your information in early so these can get to you before the day.” Anyone can register a clean-up site for free at www.cleanupaustraliaday.org or search for groups that have already joined.

Layla, Jasper and Jessica get some early practice in for Clean Up Australia Day.

Council will start the first of this financial year’s Australian Government Black Spot Program projects in two weeks’ time to install a wire rope median on Tweed Valley Way between the two exits to the village of Tumbulgum. On Monday 19 February, Council contractors will divert all traffic on to the western side of the road to allow them to work safely on the eastern side of the road to widen the southbound shoulder. Once the shoulder is widened, they will then reseal the entire section between the Riverside Drive North and South exits, including the intersection of the North exit and Tweed Valley Way. During the two-day resealing task, motorists should expect long delays. New line-markings will move the stop line on Riverside Drive North exit further out on to Tweed Valley Way to improve visibility for motorists turning right out of Riverside Drive on to the 100kmh major arterial road. Currently, if a vehicle is travelling in the lefthand slip lane on Tweed Valley Way it can block from view any through-traffic on Tweed Valley Way. After the section is resealed and line-marked, both northbound and southbound traffic will be directed to travel on the respective shoulders to provide a safe workzone for workers installing the centre wire rope median. During works, a 40kmh speed limit will apply under the direction of stop/slow flagmen. Work will be undertaken from 7am to 4pm Monday to Friday. The project is expected to take 12 weeks to complete at a cost of $1.3 million and will deliver physical separation of northbound and southbound traffic, two-metre-wide road shoulders, 3.5-metre-wide traffic lanes and a two-metre-wide centre median.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Tragic drowning prompts angel ring funds Do police have the right to search your phone? You are stopped on the street by police. They tell you to turn out your pockets. They demand you use your password or ﬁngerprint to open your phone so they can see who you have been calling. They want to see what you have been doing on social media and view your emails. Are the police ofﬁcers acting within the law? What are your rights to privacy when questioned by police?

Police power to stop and search a person or vehicle is primarily contained in the NSW Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibility) Act 2002. Under Section 21(2)(b) police can seize and detain anything the ofﬁcer suspects “on reasonable grounds may provide evidence of the commission of a relevant offence”. “This can include a phone, but the key phrase is ‘on reasonable grounds’, and that can be a contestable point in law,” Ms Frayne said. “Another term is ‘probable cause’. The terms generally mean police can’t conduct arbitrary or random searches of you, your phone or your vehicle unless they have a factual basis on which to base their suspicion that an offence has been committed. “However, police can ask for your identity, as well as search you and ask for access to your phone if you are in what’s called a ‘target area’, that is an area where a police operation is underway.” There is nothing in the law that gives the police power to prevent a person taking photographs or ﬁlming them in a public place, as long as it does not interfere with them carrying out their duties. “They do not have the legal power to delete images or recordings, or order a person to delete images or recordings.” Police can only demand your phone if they believe it was stolen or used in the commission of a crime. They can demand footage or photos that could be evidence of a serious crime such as assault.

Fingal Headland. Inset: Tomoe Ogisu

THE TRAGIC death of Japanese backpacker Tomoe Ogisu, 22, at Fingal Head has again prompted calls for the installation of Angel Life Rings at the headland, although several concerned residents are also pointing to tourism websites, which they say are failing to reinforce safety at the iconic but treacherous beach strip. Tomoe was believed to have been swimming at Dreamtime Beach at about 3pm on Wednesday, February 7, and swam around Fingal Head in search of somewhere to access a rock shelf. Witnesses on the headland said they could see the man in the water, however due to rough swell at the time rescue attempts were thwarted. In a media statement, police said they were forced to cancel a search operation due to rough conditions and resumed the search to recover the man’s body the following morning. “A man’s body was located in the water but rescuers were unable to recover the man due to the dangerous surf conditions,” police said. Emergency services recovered Mr Ogisu’s body from the water on Thursday, February 8, about 1.2km north of the headland. Tomoe was the fourth person to drown near Fingal Head since October 2015 and includes Dylan Carpenter, 20, Ryan Martin, 30, and Aggie Auelua, 26.

A member of the Fingal Rovers Surf Life Saving Club, who preferred not to be named, said tourism websites were failing to point out some of the dangers of Dreamtime Beach at Fingal Head. The Weekly visited several websites which promote Dreamtime Beach as a popular getaway location, but little information about safety in the water was mentioned. “This is such a tragedy and my heart goes out to the man’s family,” the spokesperson said “I think we need to be reinforcing the dangers of entering the water across a lot of tourism information including websites, especially during rough seas, and the fact that people can be dragged out off the coast in waist-deep water.” Meanwhile, Member for Tweed Geoff Provest has sent his condolences to the family who were travelling from Japan this week. “It is a terrible thing to lose a young person,” he said. Mr Provest said he was now pushing ahead with the angel rings as delays due to insurance issues have now been resolved. “I have just been advised that Crown Lands has waived any insurance issues,” he said. Mr Provest said he had been working on the Fingal Head angel ring proposal for the past two years. A meeting will take place at Fingal Headland this Friday, February 16, to determine the best location for the floatation device and will include

“It is a bit of a grey area whether police can order a person to unlock their phone as part of a stop and search. But if you have been arrested, you could risk being charged with obstruction of justice if you refuse to unlock your phone.”

Tweed Shire Council General Manager Troy Green said regular audits are carried out of signage warning of the dangers of swimming at Dreamtime Beach. “Everyone at Tweed Shire Council is saddened to hear of the death of a swimmer at Dreamtime Beach recently,” he said. “This is an unpatrolled area known by locals to be dangerous for swimmers and there is signage in place at every access point alerting people to this fact. “We conduct regular audits of these signs to ensure they are prominent and visible and the last of these audits took place on December 20, 2017. “This is the fifth drowning to have occurred at Fingal Head since 2015 and in light of this tragedy we wish to reinforce the importance of swimming between the flags on a patrolled beach.” YOUR THOUGHTS: What do you believe could be done to warn visitors of the dangers of swimming at Dreamtime Beach?

�ast �riday was one of the most si�ni�icant dates on our school calendar; it was our kinder student�s �irst day and their introduction to our wonderful school community.

Thanks to their a�endance at our ama�ing Learning Ladder program last year, the youngest members of our student body were familiar with our school, had met their teachers and were supported through their exci�ng ﬁrst day by senior students who were designated as “buddies” for the new children. There was a great sense of excitement and an�cipa�on among the children and their families as they met up with class mates and their buddies before heading oﬀ to the classroom with their teachers to start their educa�onal �ourney. The students had a taste of the rich and engaging kindergarten curriculum, worked alongside new friends and had plenty of �me to explore our beau�ful playground, all closely monitored by our fabulous kinder teachers.

PARENTS AT Pottsville are being urged to be on the lookout for a suspicious character who exposed himself to children near the Mooball Creek Park on Sunday, February 11. Tweed Police have also confirmed they are investigating the matter after the man was spotted by parents taking photos before exposing himself towards children. A witness who recently moved to Pottsville, Luke Campbell, posted his concerns on social media urging the community to be on the lookout. “This isn’t usually my thing but hey this is about children and their safety,” he said. Mr Campbell said his family and friends were at Mooball Creek, Pottsville, where a man exposed himself whilst taking photos of children swimming. “We quickly crossed the creek in the car where a Suzuki Swift with Qld number plates (see image) sped off at high speed,” he wrote. “Apologies to those who witnessed it. We pulled over a man who was extremely suspicious in the hope police would arrive.” Mr Campbell said police were now assisting with an investigation and urged residents to be cautious of this car. “If you see it please report to police,” he said.

Police have since confirmed they are investigating the vehicle and the person is known to police. However, no arrest were made at the time of print. “Please stay aware. If you see the vehicle in the area please contact police,” Mr Campbell said. Anyone wanting to report the vehicle or suspicious behaviour can phone Tweed Police on (07) 5506 9499 or in an emergency dial 000 (triple zero).

37 year sentence for father’s murder

4/42 MACHINERY DRIVE, SOUTH TWEED

(07) 5524 9111

Weirdo at Pottsville prompts appeal

THE SUPREME Court has sentenced Michael Phillip Martin to 37-years imprisonment after he was found guilty of the premeditated murder of his father, Michael Anthony Martin. Martin had pleaded not guilty over an attempt on his father’s life on April 7, 2014, and his subsequent murder on June 13, 2014, at his Murwillumbah home. He also pleaded not guilty to the grievous bodily harm of Edmund Andrew Manning, a flatmate of his father. Presiding Supreme Court Judge Peter Hamill said the offence was “committed for financial gain” and was a “premeditated and planned execution” of a “vulnerable man” in his own home. The court ruled the first attempt on Mr Martin’s life was carried out by his son and one or two others using weapons capable of inflicting blunt force trauma. Mr Martin received an injury to his left eye resulting in permanent vision loss, chest injuries, collapsed lungs and facial fractures. He required life support and dialysis and remained in intensive care for one month followed by a further month in hospital. His flatmate, Mr Manning, also received life-threatening injuries including multiple fractures, a collapsed lung and a cut off ear, and was in a coma for six days. The court heard from Mr Manning, who said he now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and is fearful of going out. “Apart from the really serious physical injuries he suffered, he has post-traumatic stress disorder and is suspicious of everyone,” Justice Hamill said. “He can’t go to restaurants. He is fearful of crowds. He trusts no one. He did not think he would survive the assault and the impact on him, both physical and psychological, is likely to last his whole life.” The second attack occurred two months later, while his father was still recovering from his injuries and had been staying with his partner in Beerwah, Qld. Martin drove his father back to Murwillumbah under the pretext of cleaning his flat that remained blood stained following the April assault. “The two men dined at a local hotel and then returned to the premises,” Justice Martin said. “At some stage Mr Martin attacked his father with a bladed weapon causing multiple penetrating injuries, including a chest wound and caused his death.” The court heard from the prosecution that Mr Martin had sought to obtain a

substantial part of three life insurance policies totaling $2.5 million. The policies were taken out in his father’s name in February 2014 and the third policy, worth $1 million, listed Martin as the sole beneficiary. “By the time he commenced to take out insurance policies over his father’s life, I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that he had in his mind the possibility that he may arrange to have him killed or to murder his father himself,” Justice Hamill said. “Apart from the evidence of the offender himself, there is no direct evidence that anybody apart from his wife was aware of these policies. “I do not accept Mr Martin’s evidence on this issue. He lied to the police about this subject until his lies were plainly exposed.” Martin’s former wife Candace Martin pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of her father-in-law and for being an accessory after the fact to the murder and is serving out a nine-year sentence with a non parole period of four years. In making his judgement Justice Hamill considered Mr Martin’s personal history including the neglect and abuse he told the court he had suffered from his father as a child and his associated depression. He said that although Martin suffered abuse as a child he was not provoked to murder his father and did not lose self control. In conclusion Justice Hamill said the case had some things in common with a cold blooded contract killing. “It was carried out in an attempt to obtain the proceeds of insurance policies that had been taken out months earlier,” he said. “After the first attempt failed, Mr Martin observed at first hand his father’s suffering after he awoke from the coma and his slow recovery from life threatening injuries. “Even then, Mr Martin was not diverted from the course of killing him for financial gain. The moral delinquency involved in this course of conduct is staggering. “However, most contract killings take place in the context of organised crime and the background to the present case, particularly the childhood neglect and abuse suffered by the offender, is unusual for a killing carried out for financial reward.” Justice Hamill sentenced Martin to a 37 year aggregate sentence for the two counts of grievous bodily harm and one count of murder, with a non-parole period of 27 years.

Tweed Experiences Network visit Freeman’s Organic Farm THE FIRST meeting for Tweed Experiences Network took place on Monday, February 12, with more than 25 members gathering at the stunning Freeman’s Organic Farm overlooking the Currumbin Valley. The evening meeting started with a guided tour of the Freeman’s Farm, which is operated by Lieutenant Colonel David Harold Gower Freeman (ret’d), who is a fourth generation farmer and works the farm alongside his parents Bill and Lesley. Described by some as an “eccentric farmer”, David’s passion for quality organic farming is evident the moment you meet him and if you’re lucky he might even eat some of the farm’s increible soil to demonstrate its quality. David undertakes group tours around his family’s property, demonstrating its heritage and his passion for quality solis, organic fruit and vegetables, as well as blazing a trail for sustainable and organic farming practices. Hugely popular with Tweed residents, David offers his organic fruit and vegetables via a roadside retail outlet which has ample parking and offers possibly one of the best views while shopping in Australia at the aptly named ‘Arthur Freeman Lookout’. “The family farm has been operating since 1915, when Arthur Freeman pioneered the introduction of the banana industry in Australia and started growing bananas in the Currumbin Valley, after leaving his

banana plantations in Fiji,” David told the Tweed Experiences Network (TEN) group. “The farm was established in 1915, and in the 1920s became the largest commercial banana farm in Australia, with more than 100 acres of bananas (100,000 banana trees) and 40 full-time employees. “This same family farm from 1915 is now the only continuous commercial fruit and vegetable farm in Currumbin Valley that remains today.” David said the farm, which continues to grow organic variety bananas today, has also since introduced a range of other fruits and vegetables which are grown using the highest organic practices. “We have 3,000 square metres of veges and a total of 20 acres cultivated,” he said. “We also condition our own soil to mimic the same soil as found in the rainforest.” The results of David’s hard work are immediate in the flavour of his bananas, avocados and strawberries, which burst with flavour and excite the senses. “Thanks to the fertile volcanic basalt soils and the warm northeasterly aspect of the property, the quality, flavour, texture and nutrient density of the fruit grown here is second to none,” he said. Following the tour, TEN members were invited to enjoy food and drinks and hear from several tourism speakers who started the meeting’s former proceedings. Among the speakers was Burragun Aboriginal Cultural

Services facilitator and educator Paul Craft “Uncle Barragun”, who will be performing an Aboriginal dance as part of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. Uncle Burragun thanked David for his passionate use of the land and connection with his farm. He also highlighted his work as a cultural educator and spoke about his fulfilling role in teaching others the wonders of Indigenous culture. “Our people have faced challenges in the past and challenges today, but we are ready to share and want to connect,” he said. “I think we can all gain something from Aboriginal teachings and together we can move towards a strong future.”

Tweed tourism hits record highs

THE TWEED Shire recorded its highest ever number of domestic visitors during the 2016/2017 financial year with international visitors also on the rise. Almost two million domestic visitors comprising of a record 1.3 million day trippers (12 per cent increase) and a record 663,000 overnight visitors (15 per cent increase) visited the Tweed during 2016/17. Domestic visitors stayed on average 3.8 nights, comprising 2.5 million visitor nights and contributing $267 million to the Tweed’s economy. The number of international visitors staying overnight on the Tweed increased by a staggering 50 per cent to 26,600. International visitors are staying an average of 10 nights on the Tweed and contributing $15 million to the economy. In contrast, Gold Coast tourism figures show in the twelve months to June 2017 both domestic and international visitor numbers grew by seven per cent to just under four million domestic visitors and one million international visitors. Gold Coast overnight visitors contribute over $4 billion to the economy whilst Tweed overnight visitors are contributing $282 million.

THE WINDOW to make submissions on a $42 million proposal to redevelop the North Byron Parklands site at Yelgun and increase the number and size of events closes tomorrow, Friday, February 16. Tweed Shire Councillors will also vote at tonight’s (February 15) general meeting whether to submit a report to the Department of Planning and Environment (DP&E) that raises several concerns over noise, flooding and roads. The site’s five year trial period allowing for two five-day events of up to 35,000 patrons expired at the end of 2017, and the DP&E recently approved an extension until August 31, 2019. The proposal seeks to increase the use of the site for up to 20 event days per year, comprising of two large events, three medium events, five small community event days and two minor community days. The large events would initially allow for 35,000 patrons, progressively increasing to 42,500 then 50,000 subject to meeting conditions for traffic management and will allow up to 30,000 campers. The development application outlines the large events would have up to a maximum number of 57,000 people including staff, performers and attendees. The medium events would host up to 25,000 patrons whilst the community events would comprise either 5,000 or 1,500 patrons. The redevelopment of the site includes the construction of a conference centre, accommodating up to 180 people and 30 cabins that can accommodate up to 120 guests. A day spa and jetty over a dam are also part of the development.

FEBRUARY

Council had previously raised concerns over the “intensification of use of the original concept plan” and their submission addresses concerns relating to issues within the Tweed Shire including noise, traffic, roads and flooding risks. Council’s submission said that noise from the site was an ongoing community concern and recommended a noise consultant to undertake an independent review. “The use is a significant intensification when compared to the trial period,” the submission reads. “The trial period was complicated by non-compliances, community concerns and ongoing mitigation after monitoring events undertaken during the trial. “Event noise monitoring was undertaken during the trial on only three events. The noise modelling predicts exceedances at the two closest dwellings.” The proposal allows for stage music up to midnight except for 1am on New Years Eve, whilst amplified music from bars, cafes, dance floors and conference centre, where audible at sensitive receivers would be allowed up until 2am. Another concern was whether a large number of people could be evacuated from the site in the event of a flood. The site has an evacuation route via Jones Road, however Council’s submission outlined that surrounding roads including Tweed Valley Way and Wooyung Road are cut off during floods. “The applicants Flood Risk Management Plan is comprehensive,” the submission reads. “However, it should be noted that evacuation of the site is highly

The North Byron Parklands site

dependent on an early decision by management to provide adequate timeframe for the high number of patrons and staff to leave the site.” Many of the surrounding roads are controlled by Byron Shire Council, however, Tweed Shire Council noted the traffic report proposes intersection works at Wooyung Road and sealing the access road from the site to Wooyung Road which would require Council approval. If approved, campers and day visitors would use this access point, which is currently only used by emergency vehicles. Council also noted that “the traffic report provides limited information on any road upgrades required to facilitate the proposed access / egress point at Gate E and the potential impact upon the Tweed Coast local road network”. Another traffic concern raised were reports from a Kingscliff business owner who said patrons were parking in the Kingscliff CBD and catching buses to the event. Council have recommended that an area such as the Kingscliff TAFE is identified for parking.

Sunnyfield continues to support bright futures young Zac who has not let disability deter him from very recently joining the Tweed United soccer team. Zac was matched with Support Worker Callum, the pair worked one-to-one for four months after school to increase his fitness, confidence and technique; turning Zac’s dream into reality. “Zac is a very energetic vibrant teenager with a love of soccer. His commitment to heathy eating and change in lifestyle has helped his soccer skills.” Callum, Sunnyfield Support Worker. There is still some uncertainty for participants transitioning to the NDIS, but we are committed to continue working with people with disability, family members and carers to support them through a positive transition to the NDIS and facilitate access to reasonable and necessary supports of their choice. The opportunity for individualised supports that offer real choice and control are within the grasp of all people with disability said Ms Foulds. As for Jess, she has found her voice. Not only is she the regular receptionist at Sunnyfield’s Tweed Heads Community Services Hub, she is the official maître d’ at the Hub’s regular ‘Meet and Greet’. “Come say hello, meet the team and find out what is possible for participants under the NDIS,” says Ms Foulds.

IT’S BEEN eight months since the rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Tweed Heads, providing people with disability and their families’ more choice and control over the supports they choose and increasing opportunities to source individualised services and flexible supports. Jess started accessing supports from Sunnyfield’s Tweed Heads Community Services Hub in July last year. Jess and her mum met with the team at Sunnyfield to discuss her goals and establish a personalised plan to support Jess to strengthen communication, literacy and social skills and build independence. “In the course of eight months, Jess has achieved really big things.” said Sunnyfield Regional Manager, Patty Foulds, “She’s shown massive improvements in her communication. Young women like Jess are making the most of the personalised supports we provide people with disability.” Since the opening of Sunnyfield’s Tweed Heads Community Services Hub, Patty says the local response has been extraordinary. “In July last year, we started with a small client base and we are now privileged to provide disability supports to 23 clients who are actively involved in cooking classes, travel training, homework and tutorial support, numeracy and skills for life programs. I am extremely proud that many recent visitors enquiring about our services are friends of current clients who have referred them to Sunnyfield.” Said Ms Foulds. A focus on personalised flexible outcomes is the real differentiator for service providers like Sunnyfield. This is demonstrated in

OTCP offers NDIS jobs Border Park plans dropped THE FORMER Border Park Raceway site at Tweed Heads is no longer planned to be used a carpark and passenger transport facility for the Commonwealth Games following strong opposition from nearby residents. A report to be considered by councillors at tonight’s (February 15) ordinary meeting states that following public exhibition of the plans, Gold Coast Airport has requested that the use of the site for a park and ride facility be removed, due to community concerns.

Following exhibition of the plans late last year, Council received 15 submissions, including an 84-signature petition. The petition identified increased traffic on local streets as a major issue along with the possibility that the facility may not be limited to the duration of the games, as stated in the site’s draft Development Control Plan (DCP). It is recommended to councillors that the DCP now be amended to allow for the demolition and removal of dilapidated buildings at the site only.

Christmas tree saved Toxic waste causes injury A TOTAL of 48 Tweed residents are now reaping the rewards of being given an opportunity to be employed through the On Track Community Program (OTCP), which provides employment for people living with a disability or recovering from mental illness. Program manager Trevor Shearn said the OTCP Op Shop, Garden Maintenance crew and the Ballina Junktion centre had jobs available for people who receive supported employment through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). “Many other employment programs are at capacity or have long waiting lists, so we had to be innovative and proactive in creating interesting, satisfying work opportunities for people with disabilities or mental illness,” Mr Shearn said. “Our op shops and maintenance crews provide high quality training, a sense of purpose, inclusiveness and independence for people who otherwise find it difficult to get a job.” Mr Shearn urged NDIS participants with supported employment in their NDIS plans

to get in touch with OTCP and find out about the range of job openings. “We offer meaningful and fulfilling roles, extra support, a supported wage and lots of new experiences to help people reach their goals,” he said. “Our programs are extremely rewarding for our supported employees, staff and customers.” Glen said working with OTCP had given him confidence to chase new goals in other areas of his life. “I like my job as an estimator at The Repsychlers Op Shop,” he said. The Repsychlers Op Shop is an old fashioned Op Shop with an abundance of treasures, furniture, clothing, beds and odds and ends all waiting to find new homes. The Op Shop picks up donations and delivers furniture that has been purchased. People work in the sorting room and warehouse, in the shop and the delivery truck. For more information on whether we have suitable employment for you, please call Jenny Carlan 07 5536 2537.

THE MURWILLUMBAH and District Business Chamber (MDBC) has withdrawn from a project that will see an “Artful Christmas Tree” sculpture erected in Budd Park, Murwillumbah. The idea, initially proposed in 2015 and called the “Sacred Littoral” will be an eight-metre sculptural tree that will serve as a public art sculpture year round and be decorated as a public Christmas tree during the festive season. Initial plans for the sculpture had it constructed from steel including galvanised steel on the outer layer to make it shine. Tweed Shire Council and the MDBC had both committed $10,000 to the project that Creative Caldera will now oversee and contribute to financially. Council’s reports states that community consultation undertaken by the MBDC in 2016 found that the majority of the community was supportive of the sculpture including One of the nearby business owners. proposed designs

THREE TWEED Shire Council workers were lucky to escape with only minor injuries after being exposed to a chemical thought to be hydrochloric acid while removing an illegally dumped pile of rubbish along Clothiers Creek Road. Council’s Manager Infrastructure Delivery Tim Mackney said the incident, which occurred just prior to Christmas, could have resulted in tragic outcomes for those involved. “All of our staff are educated about safety procedures but clearly in this case the workers were put into a highly dangerous situation by the irresponsible actions of someone dumping this toxic substance illegally,” Mr Mackney said. “Thankfully on this occasion these workers avoided severe injuries but that doesn’t alter the fact that this substance could have been taken to the tip by the residents and disposed of safely for free - which would have avoided all risks.” Tweed residents can take up to 20L of household chemicals to the permanent chemical collection facility at Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre for free, all-yearround.

Embrace the rail trail and reap the rewards By Marie Lawton, Public Liaison Officer for the Northern Rivers Rail Trail

THE RAIL trail is a game changer for the region on a corridor that is currently disused, poorly maintained and is providing no benefit to the community. We have the opportunity to establish a world class community trail using that corridor, which would mean the corridor is utilised, maintained and once again a community asset, protecting the corridor from further degradation and ensuring portions of the land are not sold off. Rail Services on the Casino to Murwillumbah branch line ceased in April 2004. Since then, a number of reports have been prepared regarding the future use of the Casino to Murwillumbah Rail Line and have been unable to demonstrate the viability of reinstating rail services. Northern Rivers Rail Trail (NRRT) secretary Geoff Meers has found the corridor to be extremely overgrown with weeds and valuable rail heritage such as railway stations, tunnels and bridges continue to deteriorate to the point where some of the bridges have been removed. The creation of a rail trail would ensure weeds are controlled, bush can be regenerated and heritage-listed infrastructure will be maintained. Not to do this would leave it vulnerable to being sold off or lost to nature. Engineering advice says that building the trail with the rails in place would cause major maintenance and safety issues. However, we must bear in mind that the formation that supports the sleepers and rails is an excellent base for a trail and reduces the cost of construction. According to NRRT engineer Norm Case, where the old railway line goes through

tunnels or cuttings there is insufficient room to construct the trail beside the tracks. “Where the old line is on a high embankment, there would be significant increased cost in building the trail beside it,” he said. “However, where it is possible both technically and financially to retain the old rail tracks, the trail construction can be directly adjacent to those tracks.” Rail Trails help existing businesses grow and let people create new businesses. They do it in a way that preserves the environment, keeps the corridor in public hands for future use and provide community, health and social benefits for all. Further to this, Doctor James Cowley, a businessman and philanthropist has said “the rail trail concept has proven it works worldwide as an experience”. “The Tweed Shire section alone is promised to bring around 100 ongoing jobs to the region,” he said. “Why do we need jobs? Without them regions like ours gradually lose important services such as hospitals, schools, age care and investment.” There is a perception by some, that train services might be restored and connected to the South East Queensland rail network; however the lack of a dedicated rail corridor between Murwillumbah and the border means the financial cost of doing so would be excessive. Other concerns that have been raised include the selloff of this magnificent corridor. Continuing to do nothing is the most likely reason the Government would look to selling off this asset. A successful Rail Trail may be the only way to prevent this and legislation passed for the Tumbarumba rail trail in 2017, explicitly

states that the railway line has been closed for the purpose of a rail trail only. The NSW and Federal Government have just committed $13million to the first stage of the Northern Rivers Rail trail - how odd it would be to then sell off that corridor. Mayor Allan Aughey OAM, Clare and Gilbert Valley Council said “we have the Riesling Trail, and if you have an

opportunity for a rail trail in your region, just do it, do it, do it!” “If you don’t you will miss out on so many opportunities such as health, small business, lifestyle, general fitness and tourism,” he said. “Families can use it, athletes can use it, dog walkers and horses can use it. I am sure you will all use it too!”

Margy enjoying the Great Southern Rail Trail in Victoria

Great news for everybody - now is the time for the whole community to get behind the rail trail. Tweed Shire has been boosted by a total of $13 million from the state and federal government. This money will be used to build the ﬁrst stage of the community trail from Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek.

What is the Northern Rivers Trail:

A world class multi use (walking, cycling, running, horse-riding and wheelchair) trail along the old rail corridor from Casino to Murwillumbah (132kms). An investment that will make a huge difference to our local economy and give us a great community facility.

What Does the Trail Have to Offer :

• Healthy sustainable asset for the whole community to use and a safe off road environment for people to walk and cycle. • World Heritage scenery through Murwillumbah, Stokers Siding, Burringbar, Crabbes Creek, Mullumbimby, Byron Bay, Bangalow, Lismore, Casino and many other beautiful villages. • Signiﬁcant employment opportunities with new businesses arising (accommodation, food, transport, bike hire etc) and growth in existing businesses. • Revitalised rail heritage. • Clearing of noxious weeds and a wild life corridor created e.g. for koalas • Ensures the rail corridor is kept in public ownership for current and future generations, via new legislation.

Saving the corridor

The obvious short to long term use of the corridor as a Rail Trail, is indeed on a roll, as it must be, in order to save our corridor from sell-off through derelict disuse. Rail Trails are the caretakers of disused rail corridors, by making them available for community use and enjoyment whilst generating tourism business opportunities for many locals. Any future use as a rail corridor, will require a total track rebuild to meet modern safety requirements. In this event, NRRT will have served its purpose as a caretaker, saving our regional corridor for future generations.

TWEED COUPLES take on a range of challenges together on a daily basis, from working alongside each other to running small businesses together, but for Jamie Bowe, 23, and his fiancée Cyndell McBlain, 22, it’s soon to be fighting fires together. Cyndell has recently joined the Banora Point Fire Station crew after completing phase one of her two phase intensive training. Although she’s yet to experience her first fire job, she’s embraced the role with a newly developed passion that can serve as inspiration for other female firefighters. Jamie has been a firefighter for the past four years with Banora Point Fire Brigade and regularly attends house fires, building fires, motor vehicle accidents and was also tasked during the 2017 Tweed flood. “I met Cyndell not long after joining the fire brigade and now we’re engaged to be married in November this year,” he said. Cyndell is currently a manager at KFC Chinderah and is also studying to be a registered nurse, and was inspired by her fiancé’s passion for helping others and the community. While not the first female firefighter to join the Banora Point Fire Brigade, she’s the only current female firefighter and her passion for the role is already burning bright. “I never had a dream of becoming a firefighter or anything like that,” she said. “Jamie was a massive inspiration for me joining the brigade, seeing him protecting others and getting involved with the community, helped me decide to do a second career.”

Tweed senior warns of Opal card pitfalls Take the frail test

TWEED SENIOR Charles Shipway recently visited The Weekly to warn senior residents, to be mindful when travelling to Sydney Airport that you cannot purchase a Seniors Opal Card or commonly known as a Gold Opal card. Mr Shipway recently flew into Sydney to visit family and to his surprise was told the Seniors Card cannot be sold to him at the airport train station ticketing office. “It came as a big surprise that you could purchase an adult ticket, which

Local senior Charles Shipway is worried the Gold Opal card is too hard to get

is more expensive, or a children’s pass, but no seniors Opal card,” he said. Mr Shipway was forced to travel under an adult ticket while in Sydney and was later told he could only purchase a seniors Opal card at Central Station, online or over the phone. The issue irked Mr Shipway so much that he decided to write to State and Federal Ministers calling for an explanation as to “why a senior, with a NSW Seniors Card cannot purchase a seniors Opal card at Sydney Airport?” “The more you think about it’s ridiculous, I can get on a bus in Queensland anywhere show my NSW Seniors Card and bingo, I’m given a Qld Go Card, but try that at Sydney Airport and you’ll be kicked off the bus,” he said. Mr Shipway wrote to Customer Relations and Government Services principal manager Terry McSweeney, who was quick to apologise for the inconvenience. “I was sorry to read about your experience at Sydney Airport and apologise for any inconvenience caused,” Mr McSweeney said. “As you may be aware the Gold Opal card offers eligible customers travel at a significantly discounted rate. “As such, it can only be ordered by calling 13 67 25 or visiting www.opal. com.au so that customers can provide details of their eligibility.

“While Opal Customer Care tries to provide customers with their Gold Opal card as soon as possible, it can take between five to seven days to arrive by post.” Mr Shipway went one further and wrote to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Andrew Constance MP, who added to Mr McSweeney’s comments by stating that “it is not possible to purchase Gold Opal cards directly from stations or retailers as eligibility cannot be accurately validated”. Mr Shipwell took issue with his eligibility not being accurately validated as he has held a NSW Seniors Card for more than 20 years and frankly looks like a senior. “This is ridiculous, do they think there will suddenly be a flood of adults attempting to pass as seniors to get the Gold Opal card and doesn’t the NSW Seniors Card already hold a senior to account through their application,” he questioned. “All I’d like to say is that this system is terrible and I’d like to remind seniors flying into Sydney Airport to make sure they order their Gold Opal card at least eight days before they fly, or expect to pay full fare for public transport.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Have you had to prove you senior status to obtain a Gold Opal card? We would love to hear from you. Send your thoughts to editor@theweekly.net.au

TWEED SHIRE residents aged 65 and over are being encouraged to take a five-question online test that could help them maintain their independence and improve their health, according to Senator for NSW Concetta Fierravanti-Wells. Senator Fierravanti-Wells said the new frailty test and subsequent follow-up with a GP could help seniors lead longer, better lives and remain living in their own homes for as long possible. “The FRAIL test is called the ‘canary in the coal mine’ of ageing, revealing whether people are more at risk of frailty which can include deteriorating health, more susceptibility to falls and even premature death,” Senator FierravantiWells said. “The good news is that there are simple interventions that can help avoid and even reverse frailty, so the sooner people heed the warning signs, the better.” Development of the new frailty test was part of a Turnbull Government-funded national study of the condition conducted by aged care organisation Benetas, which found: • The frailty prevalence rate was six percent • 38 per cent fell into the pre-frail category • 56 per cent were categorised as robust • Women have a higher incidence of frailty than men • Five per cent of men were frail compared to eight per cent of women • 34 per cent of men were pre-frail compared with 41 per cent of women “Completing the test takes just a minute or two, then the online facility produces a personalised letter including the results,” said Senator Fierravanti-Wells. “Participants are encouraged to print this off and discuss any concerns raised with their doctor. The FRAIL test is available through the Positive Ageing Resource Centre website www.parc.net.au or on the My Aged Care website www.myagedcare.gov.au

ALL THINGS LEGAL

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN Celebrate International Women's Day YOU DIE WITHOUT A WILL?

We have many clients who refuse to do their Wills because they don’t wish to tempt fate. They believe that doing their Will will prompt some catastrophic event that will lead to their death! People may scoff at this suggestion but you would be surprised at how many people genuinely feel that if they do their Will, something terrible will happen to them. Other people think that they are young and bulletproof and therefore don’t think that they need to do a Will. Whatever your reasons are for not doing a Will, it can cause complete havoc with the family members or relatives that you leave behind you when you die. Everyone should consider that it is a matter of when you die not if! Everyone should theref ore conduct themselves on the basis that their lives will end at some point in time and we should all make sure that we have a valid Will to assist our families in administering our estate after we die. Below are some of the issues that can arise if you die intestate: 1. Separation from your spouse (but not divorced) One of the most common things that can affect someone who dies intestate is that although they have separated from their spouse (and in some cases many years prior to their death), because they have not done a Will, under the laws of intestacy in all states of Australia, the majority of the estate goes to the surviving spouse. This is the case even if the person who died and their separated spouse have lived apart for a long time and no longer have any form of relationship. In addition to this, the spouse is entitled to become the administrator of the estate which can cause some awkward issues if the former spouse and the family of the deceased do not get along.

your family, this could lead to the situation where someone inherits the whole or part of your estate in circumstances where you would not want that to happen under any circumstances. Fate can intervene in strange ways and accidents can happen where a significant number of family members are unexpectedly killed. This can lead to someone down the line under the laws of intestacy inheriting assets where you would not want this to happen. Making a Will ensures this does not happen! 3. Dealing with your estate after your die If you die without a Will it is very difficult for your surviving family members to access your assets and administer your estate. Banks, local Councils, the Titles Office, phone companies, electricity providers, Centrelink, Medicare, medical providers – in fact any public entity that you need to deal with will not recognise or deal with you unless you are the administrator of the estate. If there is no Will, you must apply for Letters of Administration from the Court which effectively entitles you to administer the estate as if you were an executor appointed in a Will (where Probate of the Will is obtained). Obtaining Letters of Administration can be a difficult process, depending on the mechanics of the family and who survives the intestate deceased person. Families are very complicated in some cases and if you do not satisfy the order the priority in relation to a person entitled to obtain a Grant of Letters of Administration, it can be a very complicated and expensive exercise.

Even after a Grant of Letters of Administration has been obtained, you must then assume the duties of an executor in an estate and this can also throw up some challenges with respect to administering a complicated estate and dealing with distribution of the estate assets in accordance with the laws of intestacy. You must also assume the responsibility for paying any tax and other liabilities on behalf of the There can also be issues even if the person estate as well as deal with any potential claims who dies has a new partner.

TELSTRA IS rolling out a range of upgrades to mobile phone towers across the Tweed Shire over the next six days, with interruptions likely across some service areas. In a media statement Telstra said it was allocating more than $25 million this year on about 60 projects delivering new or improved mobile coverage for communities living, working or travelling in Northern NSW. The Weekly asked for more specifics about the upgrades and received the following information: “Projects taking place in the Tweed Shire include Tweed Heads South mobile base station has been upgraded with additional 4G capacity,” NSW State Media Manager Michelle Zydower said. “We also have plans over the next few months for 4GX upgrades to mobile base stations at Tweed Heads and Coolangatta.” Tweed Telstra users may have also received a text message this week advising them of the upgrades and possible mobile phone service outages during the next six days (as of Tuesday, February 13). Telstra said the investment will be delivered through capacity and speed upgrades to existing base stations, new small cells for 4G coverage, as well as Telstra’s contribution to the Mobile Black Spot Program. “We know mobile coverage is a key priority for people and businesses in regional and rural areas,” Area General Manager Mike Marom said.

ENVIRONMENT is our life

Top 10 ways to save on energy bills save by making sure you select the shortest appropriate washing cycle and waiting until you have a full load. 5. Set your thermostat: In summer, set your thermostat to 26 degrees or above. In winter, heating can account for over 30 per cent of your bill. Set your thermostat between 18 and 20 degrees. Every degree above 20 can add 10 per cent to your heating bill. 6. Run your fridge efficiently: Your fridge is always on, making it one of your most expensive appliances. Make sure the door seal is tight and free from gaps so cold air can’t escape. If you have a second fridge or freezer, only turn it on when you need it. 7. Insulate your roof: An insulated ceiling makes a big difference to your energy bills. If you already have insulation installed, check that it is properly installed and has the right rating (measured in ‘R-value’). 8. Save energy in the kitchen: Thaw frozen food in your fridge to reduce cooking time. If you use the stove, keep lids on your pots to reduce cooking time. 9. Use energy-efficient light globes: Replace old halogen light globes with energy-efficient LED globes. Energyefficient globes save power and last longer. 10. Understand and improve your home’s energy use: A Scorecard assessment looks at the fixed features of your home – the way it’s built and insulated, heated and cooled, your lighting and water heating and suggests the most effective changes you can make to reduce your power use and increase your comfort.

AS TEMPERATURES approach 40 degrees across the Tweed Shire this week The Weekly has developed a top ten list to keep your energy bills under control while you stay comfortable at home or work. 1. Compare energy retailers and switch to solar panels: There are plenty of energy retailers that can assist with finding you the best deal on your power usage and can quickly compare all of the electricity and gas offers available in your area. Of course, one of the best longterm savings options for any household or small business is installing solar panels. While there are initial costs to install and setup, once they’re paid off you can reap big rewards. 2. Install quality blinds and close the curtains: Cooling the whole house can be expensive. Where possible, shut doors to areas you are not using and only cool the rooms you spend the most time in. Plus, by installing quality blinds you can save on expensive window replacements and curtains or blinds can seal your windows properly, and keep your curtains closed during the day when there is a heat-wave. Block draughts around doors and windows to stop cool air leaking out. You can also use external shading, such as external blinds or canvas awnings, to keep the sun off the windows. 3. Turn heaters and coolers off when you don’t need them: Turn off when you leave the room, or go to bed. With some ducted heating systems, you can turn off the heating in the rooms that are unoccupied. 4. Wash clothes using cold water: You can save around $115 per year by washing clothes in cold water. You can also

The e-car revolution is coming Electric vehicles are coming, and the effects will be mostly good, although poor government planning for such a fundamental change means that some unwanted consequences will be felt even here, well beyond the cities. Entrepreneur Elon Musk has recently launched his Tesla e-car into space but last month he also unveiled his electric truck claiming it could tow anything up hill and at a fraction of the running costs. Most major car manufacturers are gearing up for mass produced electric vehicles. Plus, important economies such as France, UK and India have already announced end dates for fuel powered cars. With no car industry, Australia will have to buy what others choose to make but with falling prices and very low running costs, e-cars are attractive. You might think that they will never be practical in the bush, but with up to 400km on a full charge the driving range of e-cars already rivals many vehicles we are using. Even if you choose to ignore big fuel savings, low maintenance and better road handling to stick with your aging gas guzzler you will be affected. Apart from effects on resale and parts for fuel driven vehicles the broader impact will be on power prices. Even if you have solar power you will feel the impact through added costs on refrigerated foods, factory products, water,

sewerage and night time services. But it need not be this way. There is no doubt that to limit global warming we need electric vehicles to replace fuel driven cars. Unfortunately, only cursory thought has been given to how people will recharge their electric cars. An e-car travelling 13,400km per year (the NSW average) will require night time recharging equivalent to an extra twoperson household. It is true that some “Fast Charging” stations are being built but they are anything but fast. An e-car with 400km range will take over an hour to charge. A station with four charge points might realistically recharge only 100 cars per day while using the daily power equivalent of 240 homes. TweedCAN is investigating the economic viability of covered solar parking near retail centres, railway stations, clubs, pools, beaches and factories. We need your help to work out if this can work. Please complete our three minute on line survey at https://www.surveymonkey. com/r/C7CSV57. It’s not so much to ask.

Make money while the sun shines

MAKING the switch to solar just makes good sense. Right now, investing in solar delivers serious and immediate returns. How so you might ask? We understand it can seem complicated to understand the real returns on a solar system, so we thought we’d break it down for you. According to the Clean Energy Council the average hours of sunlight a day across the year is 4.2 hours, so we will use this as the base to calculate the solar generation. Based on 4.2 hours a day, a 5kW system will generate 21kW of clean energy every day. Now let’s say you self-consume 50%, or 11kW your total solar generation each day. Based on today’s average electricity charges of 28c/kW, by cutting your reliance on the grid by 50%, you stand to make a saving of $3.08 each day. That might not

seem much but over the course of a year that’s $1124 back in your pocket. Then there’s the other 50% of your solar production that you can export back to the

WO R K M A N S H I P WA R R A N T Y

grid. Based on today’s average solar feed in tariffs you’re looking at anywhere from 8 cents to 15 cents, depending on your electricity retailer. Let’s base our calculations somewhere in the middle… if you are exporting the remaining 50% year you’ll save in electricity costs. That’s a whopping total of $1605 per year in savings straight from the get go. Now let’s say you want to finance your solar system. The cost of a good quality 5kW system will set you back approximately $6000 (less than a third of the cost just five years ago). Based on a 5-year payback, with a $0 deposit, you’re looking at monthly repayments of just over $100, or $1200.00 per annum. So right now, you’re in front, with immediate electricity savings delivered of $1605 per year and the system cost of $1200 on payback, you’re $405 in front. That’s a win. We are genuinely passionate about the benefits of a good quality solar system designed to deliver you real savings.

Plans to reduce Indigenous smokers Rescue remedy: regain healthy ADVERTORIAL

THE TWEED Shire has been included in the latest community based antismoking campaign to reduce Indigenous smoking numbers with a record amount of funding for Australia’s first four-year Tackling Indigenous Smoking (TIS) program, under the Bullinah Aboriginal Health Services. Senator for NSW Concetta FierravantiWells said the TIS progam would make progress in reducing smoking rates, however tobacco is still claiming the lives of far too many local Indigenous people. “On average, smoking is responsible for 20 per cent of preventable deaths among Aboriginal people and more than 10 per cent of the health problems encountered by our Indigenous communities,” she said. The latest Australian Bureau of Statistics report on Indigenous smoking shows significant declines in overall rates, with an average 2.1 percent annual drop since targeted interventions began in 2008. “The good news is that, on average, our young Indigenous people are really reducing their smoking, with the number high school children trying tobacco down nearly 50 per cent,” Senator Fierravanti-Wells said. “Quit rates are also up and there is evidence that the amount of heart problems from smoking among older people is already dropping. “This new funding promises to build on these successes because it’s vital we keep the local momentum going.” Senator Fierravanti-Wells said the new funding was an important part of the Federal Government’s commitment to “Closing The Gap” in health inequality, by providing certainty and continuity for proven local campaigns to reduce the devastating impacts of tobacco related disease. ”From 1 July, the Turnbull Government will extend the TIS program from the existing three year to a four-year term,” Senator Fierravanti-Wells said.

digestion with Bowel Restore

“While existing and proposed local TIS projects will have to apply for the new funding, we know the new four-year program will build on successes and provide security for people working in the campaigns and for local communities. “We will also invite new initiatives, with more than $6 million in extra funding to tackle smoking among pregnant women and people living in remote areas, because rates among these groups remain worryingly high.” The revamped TIS program will continue the successful local Regional Tobacco Control grants scheme including school and community education, smoke-free homes and workplaces and quit groups. The program will also focus on supporting local Indigenous leaders and cultural programs to reduce smoking, continue evaluation to monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of individual programs including increased regional data collection.

ORGANIC ROSEHIP Skincare was established in the year 1993 by Nancy Evans. She is a believer of the saying that, “A healthy skin is the reflector of a healthy body”. Keeping this vision in mind she created her own line of organic products that has been successfully treating various skin ailments of people. Newest to the Organic Rosehip Skincare Store is Bowel Restore “Your health and beauty starts with the bowel,” says Nancy Evans. Layers and layers of decayed fecal matter packed into your colon walls can cause hidden constipation, gas, bloating, fatigue, abdominal pain, and other health problems. Frightening new reports show how these toxins stored for years inside your colon can leak out and poison your cells and other organs. Colon doctors and researchers now reveal that even if you have regular, daily bowel movements, you most likely have decade’s worth, often up to four to five kilos of waste matter build up on the inside of your colon, causing digestive problems. Your colon’s main job is to squeeze water and nutrients out of your food as it’s digested to keep your body hydrated and provide nourishment. When you don’t drink enough water, the food inside your colon dries out too much and gets squeezed into tiny balls of fecal matter. Your colon packs it down so hard that these tiny balls become too hard to pass and you become constipated! And when you do go - it’s like trying to pass boulders. The most surprising thing to most people who try Bowel Restore is what a relief it is when their body starts releasing the pounds of old caked-on stuff. Often there are dark blobs, or lumps or strings of brown or gray stuff covered with mucus, even parasites.

Sometimes your excrement will be discshaped, moulded like the inside of your colon walls, because it’s been packed in for so long. Bowel Restore’s advanced soluble Herbal fibre formula actually begins to work its triple-action magic to get you feeling great fast. Bowel Restore breaks down the built up, crusty layers of decayed fecal matter by gently scraping and scouring your colon walls clean. It purifies and carries out all the bad stuff so toxins can’t invade your bloodstream and other organs. Combining these powerful herbs and nutrients in one formula whose ingredients all work together is critical because it provides everything you need to makes true detoxifying possible by breaking down and scouring away the built-up, crusty layers of decayed fecal matter and harmful toxins. Ingredients: Psyllium Husk, Black Walnut Hulls, Hibiscus Rosella, Liquorice Root, Horsetail, Rosehip, Oat Straw, Slippery Elm, Cascara, Marshmallow Root, Cinnamon Verum, Irish Moss, Yucca Root, Astragalus, Chlorella, Turmeric, Bladderwrack, Wormwood, Ashwaganda, Barberry, Dandelion Root, Meadowsweet, Skullcap, Aloe Ferox, Turkish Rhubarb, Mullein, Passionflower, Witchhazel, Paw Paw Leaf, Violet Leaf, Vanilla, Fennel Seed, Clove Bud.

Students embrace Sweetheart Day AN EXTRAORDINARY story of four young students at Murwillumbah East Primary School born with congenital heart disease has captured the hearts of fellow students and staff, who have raised funds for National Sweetheart Day. The students are Eloise Sorenson, Summer Wilson, Tyrone Woods and Brooklyn Miller, who have all undergone major open-heart surgery including Summer who had a heart transplant. The four students have since made a full recovery despite being on medications and undertaking exercise regimes. Tyrone, who had a large hole in his heart that required surgery, said he now loves to be active and has even achieved some great results on the sports field. “I’ve been doing a lot of running and have achieved some great results and I’m also enjoying my swimming, which means I don’t have to take as many medications,” Tyrone said. National Sweetheart Day is held annually on Valentine’s Day and raises much-needed

funds to provide support for kids, teens and adults affected by congenital/childhood heart disease across Australia. Murwillumbah East publicity officer Kerry Makin said the school created a heart-shape on the playground and got the whole school involved. “This is a charity supporting young people affected by congenital/childhood heart disease,” she said. “We have a fundraising day each Valentine’s Day and our school community are very generous supporters.” The school aims to raise awareness of the charity and the impact heart disease has on families by conducting classroom activities. “Throughout the day students will explore ways to maintain heart health and what can happen to make some people’s hearts not work as well as they should,” Mrs Makin said.

Master pianist to visit Tyalgum THE WINNER of the 2017 Lev Vlassenko Piano Competition, classical pianist Oscar Wong, will perform in concert at Tyalgum’s Flutterbies Cafe on Saturday, March 10, kicking off a strong season of events for Tyalgum in 2018. Hearts Aflame Productions will present “An Afternoon of Piano & Song” featuring Oscar Wong, who is one of Australia’s rising stars of the classical music world. Oscar is currently pursuing his fourth year of a Bachelor of Music majoring in performance under the tutelage of Natascha Vlassenko. He has performed as a soloist with Gold Coast Symphony Orchestra, Qld Conservatorium Symphony and Qld Symphony Orchestras. He is also the final recipient of the prestigious Fellowship in Music, Australia. For the Flutterbies concert Oscar will be performing a program of the great classics from Haydn, Chopin and Brahms, among others. Accompanying Oscar will be Operatic Bass Henry Pinder, who is currently in his final year of a Bachelor of Music in Advanced Performance at the Qld Conservatorium of Music.

FILMS th Mia wi

Caldera by Nola Firth

With homage to Kevin Brophy’s poem ‘The Drowned World’

The Shape of Water, the latest film by visionary Mexican director Guillermo Del Toro (Pan Labyrinth) arrives in town on the strength of its numerous international awards including the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and thirteen Academy Awards nominations. It is a film that will appeal to audiences willing to suspend judgment and to believe in the improbable relationship between a lonely young woman and an amphibious creature. Through the poetic use of fantasy elements the movie addresses very real issues, especially the treatment that society reserves for anyone who does not conform. The story is set in the 1960s in an American research laboratory, where a young woman, Elisa, works as a cleaner. She is an orphan and is mute, but can communicate easily with the few friends she has, particularly her neighbor - a closet gay and frustrated artist - and a fellow cleaner. In the atmosphere of the Cold War the capture of an exotic sea creature by a racist, chauvinistic and obsessive man who is put in charge of the laboratory leads to an espionage plot at the expense of the captured creature, tortured and condemned to die. But the young woman – a wonderful Sally Hawkins with the characteristic dreamy and intense face and manners that we have recently seen in the Paddington movies – looks at the creature without prejudice. Her interest is returned, and the relationship that ensues gives both a sense of completeness that had evaded them before. But the film is not just a romance, it is sensual and a thriller as well Elisa saves her lover from death with the help of her friends but how long will she be able to keep him for? On her wall a calendar motto reminds her that ‘life is just the shipwreck of our plans’…

Look how these mountains hold us in a flat dish fired in the earth, its surface sprayed with volcano’s champagne of rounded rocks. Look how our sky rim is painted in layered blues and how, as we move, they startle us with bobs and knobs, their bare heads poking out of rainforest robes, pushing at the sky. Look how they slip and slide. At play in the rain torrents, they cast down boulders, shift their ground, block our paths. As we gaze up at their rock walls, mount their sudden juts and pinnacles, we long for their stillness, and for their risk.

NORTHERN RIVERS poetry promoter, Dangerously Poetic, will host a free evening of poetry readings on Sunday, February 25, from 5pm to 7pm at The Regent Cinema in Murwillumbah. The theme of the event is Love Poems for the Earth, which follows on from Valentine’s Day. Murwillumbah has recently become home to award winning poets Nola Firth and Matt Hetherington who will both be featured on the night. Nola was named the winner of the coveted Byron Writers Festival Dangerously Poetic Prize in 2017 with her poem ‘Counting on Murwillimbah’. She is currently working on a book of poems about the area and has kindly provided The Weekly with a poem this week titled Caldera (see right). Matt, who has recently moved to Uki from the Melbourne poetry scene, has just published a collection entitled ‘For Instance’ and has another book on the way. An experienced teacher, he is also about to teach a creative writing course through the Murwillumbah Community College. “We’re both very excited to be presenting this free reading event and we hope locals can come along to enjoy the night,” Nola said. “There will also be an open section where anyone can bring and read their own poem on the theme.” Well known musician Elizabeth Lord, who also lives in Murwillumbah, will be there to relax guests with her tender jazzy tunes. “The newly refurbished Regent Cinema balcony will be the place to be that night and we’d like to encourage everyone to come along,” Matt said.

Speaking to the stone THIS WEEK’S featured artist is Murwillumbah master sculpture Dierdre Wy who caught up with The Weekly about her extraordinary art journey and participation in the Murwillumbah Art Trail 2018 (MAT18). Dierdre started her artistic career later in life mainly due to having a grandfather who was the art editor of papers and magazines in the 1930s and a mother whose art was so good her works were entered in the Archibald Prize. “I thought that I could never live up to them, so I didn’t even try,” she said. “Later in life when I moved from Sydney to the Far North Coast in 1989, I met up with a long-lost friend who was interested in doing pottery at TAFE just for fun, so we enrolled together. “We both enjoyed it so much after the original three-year course we were encouraged to do the diploma which was a two-year course and nine years later, after completing an advanced diploma we decided it was time to move onto something new.” Dierdre’s friend moved onto printmaking and Dierdre enrolled in a two year full-time course in glass at Murwillumbah TAFE, which she said was “absolutely fascinating”. “We learnt how to sculpt, paint, fuse, sandblast and engrave, it was an amazing journey that led to an exhibition at Murwillumbah Art Gallery,” she said. “We loved it so much we wanted to pursue it. One of the women had a double garage that already had a kiln which was perfect. “Four of us set up our own studio working together and exhibiting for quite a few years. “It is hard work, enjoyable when everything went well, then cheap imports arrived making it nearly impossible to compete so we decided to change direction.” After discussing the possibilities, Dierdre said the group decided sculpture might be the way to go. “As it happened, one of our friends knew of a teacher out at Byrrill Creek who, word had it, was extremely talented,” she said. “Because there were four of us she started a special class just for us and as we became more efficient we joined the others.

“It was a challenge, so different from what we had been doing but we all fell in love with it. “What was wonderful, was she helped us let go of having to control everything. “I would draw a line and let it take me on a journey never knowing what the final result might be, just let the rock talk to me, it was always challenging yet exciting at the same time. “She was a wonderful, patient teacher and four years later she became unwell causing her to retire from teaching. What a blow.” Dierdre had reached the point where they didn’t need instruction just a venue to continue their work. “One of the men decided that he would turn his garage into a studio if we would all like to continue on sculpting, so the four of us women who started the journey said “yes please” along with two men,” she said. “Four years on we have created works in soapstone, limestone and sandstone. “We have sculptures from as small as 20cm to two meters and our works are creative and unique.” Dierdre said she loves working mainly with limestone which she said is millions of years old having been once a sea bed. “I will be sculpting and come across remnants of shells, which can be quite challenging if you are sculpting a face, working on an eye and there is a lump of shell where you want the eye to be, but that is part of the thrill of working with ancient materials,” she said. “Our workshop is on Farrants Hill hence our name Farrants Hill Collective. “Anyone interested in joining us is more than welcome. “I see many areas of the Arts that are similar; glass-ceramics, dance, poetry, art and music, each travelling in different directions yet each is concerned with balance, line, rhythm and harmony. “Each piece marks the start of another cycle of never ending possibilities.” For more information and to start discovering your inner sculptor email: wyteddee@gmail. com

Featured Business Rose’s Mobile Cuts. Hi everyone, I’m Rose and I have 40+ years’ experience in hairdressing. My partner and I moved to Murwillumbah 15 months ago from Mudgee NSW, where I lived for 36 years and had my own salon for 23 years. It was very successful and stable (I think it was the longest running salon in Mudgee) that says something. I had a great Clientele like family because I’d been doing their hair for many years. We have been coming to the area a long time as I’ve a sister and two brothers in the Tweed/ Northern Rivers area. Nine years ago we purchased a house in Murwillumbah with the intent to move here. We love the town, people are extremely friendly, a great community and 25 mins to the beach instead of 4 hours, which is a big difference. Being Closer to family is wonderful, we’re able to catch up more often and

seeing great nieces and great nephews growing up, they know us now which is great. Since coming here, I became a Volunteer at Nortec two days a week and love that. Back in October I volunteered at the Community WellBeing Day cutting hair, “Big Al” in photo (everyone knows Al) one of Murbah’s local identities was one of many that day and I thoroughly enjoyed it. That’s when I decided to go mobile and ﬁll in the gap. Some people can’t get to the hairdressers because they are house bound, incapacitated, just come out of the hospital and not feeling the best, lots of reasons or would just like a haircut in their own home for convenience. Affordable Prices for Men, Women and Children. So, Don’t forget to call / text Rose on 0413 846 509.

A sacriﬁcial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efﬁciently working system and a costly replacement. Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion.

POLICE BEAT

Come along to the Tweed Police HQ open day

TWEED SHIRE residents are invited to take part in a special Tweed Heads Police Station Public Open Day on Sunday, February 18. The open day will take place from 10am to 2pm and include a range of activities for adults and children. Residents can also get a glimpse inside the new Tweed Heads Police Headquarters, which is a state-of-the-art facility opened in 2017. Tweed Byron LAC Acting Inspector Jackie Lilley said the event was a great way for the community to engage with local officers and vice versa, which in turn assists with crime prevention. “Police Open Day is another opportunity for local police to build positive relationships with their communities and assist with crime prevention,” Acting Inspector Lilley said. Officers will also be on hand to show residents around the station as well as displays for some of the crime fighting equipment used on a daily basis. “There will be a guided tour of the new police station and a car park display of police cars, bikes, Mounted Police, Dog Squad, Policeboat, jet skis, police equipment, Crime Scene and PCYC display, fingerprinting station, Neighbourhood Watch information table, photo opportunities and other activities for the kids,” Acting

Inspector Lilley said. A barbecue sausage sizzle will also be set up with a gold coin donation going to the Police and Community Charity Ball, which is due to be held later this year. There will also be a coffee van on site. The police station address is 83 Wharf Street, Tweed Heads, and residents are advised to arrive around 10am to make the guided tour.

Bowls Notes

with Judy Tuckey EVERY YEAR, on the first Sunday in February, a group of social clubs affiliated within the bowls clubs in the far North East corner of the state gather for an annual get together. Whilst the clubs visit each other throughout the year, “Old Mates’ Day” is a special day on the calendar for them to congregate at one venue, chew the bacon, down the odd ale or two and, of course, roll a few bowls as they participate in an inter-club competition of two games, 12 ends triples. For the past twenty odd years this super day has been enjoyed by all and sundry as it has created a wonderful camaraderie amongst all members who partake in this social aspect of the game. This year’s meet at the Condong Bowling Club, with the Condong ‘Cane Toads’ hosting, resulted in Kyogle taking home the winner’s spoils. Cabarita Beach Bowls and Sports Club is to be congratulated on their forward thinking in relation to a Juniors’ bowls squad being developed in the Tweed Byron precinct for boys and girls aged 12 to 18 years.

Old Mates’ Day at Condong

Sh ting Hoops THIS WEEK Murwillumbah basketball association is happy to be in full swing for a whole new season. Aussie Hoops commenced again last Tuesday, February 6, with a great turn out. Aussie Hoops caters for children aged 5-8 who are new to the sport and wanting to learn basketball skills.

There are still a few spots available for old and new players. Please visit www.aussiehoops.com.au to register. Select 2484 and Tweed Valley Adventist College as your location. Mini Ball had a great turn out with kids developing their skills and starting on game play. Junior league moved to Thursday afternoons 4-6pm. The group was treated with some brand new singlets. Thank you to our Sponsors Hydro X Carpet Cleaning and Pest Control and Stillman Plumbing for sponsoring the singlets. The kids were really excited to get out on the court to try them out.

Coaching is absolutely free from the five fully accredited coaches at Cabarita Bowling Club as well as the use of the latest brands of bowls for the youngsters to learn with. This wonderful sport is an attractive alternative for the young folk who may not be interested in the more mainstream sports. Lawn bowls is a characterbuilding sport as it requires co-ordination, discipline and team work. It is also a great social and community sport and it is lot of fun as well. The State Government has instigated a program called “Active Kids” wherein $100 vouchers are available that can be used to off-set membership fees, etc for children wishing to join the ranks. As we look ahead in search of tomorrow’s bowlers, this is the time to take action and encourage the younger generation to the sport of lawn bowls. Surely there are parents, grandparents, etc out there who are aware of youngsters who would like to have a go but are not sure how to get involved. How’s about looking around, folks. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

• Womens league Monday evenings from 6.30pm. • Aussie Hoops Tuesdays 4-5pm. • Mini Ball 8-12yrs is Tuesdays 5-6pm. • Mens league Tuesdays from 6.30pm. • Youth league Wednesday afternoons 4-6pm. We always welcome new players and officials with spots available in all leagues.

AUSTRALIAN BOARDRIDERS

Battle on this Weekend in Newcastle

Tapped in to the waves

With Terry Tappa’ Teece

AUSTRALIA’S BEST clubs will be descending on Newcastle, for the 4th Australian Boardriders Battle. 2015 Champions Snapper Rock Surfriders will be making their way down after finishing runners up to two time Queensland Champions Burleigh Boardriders in the Queensland Qualification round. Byron Bay and Le Ba (Lennox/Ballina) will be joining the battle with Coffs Harbour after qualifying in the Far North Coast series. It will be red hot action, with a giant cyclone

swell set to light up the whole East Coast of Australia, the action is going to be amazing. Newcastle Beach holds a big swell, and the World’s best surfers are allowed to compete for their clubs. Not all are confirmed, but Joel Parkinson and possibly Stephanie Gilmore can surf for Snapper, Bede Durbidge and Ethan Ewing for Point Lookout. The Wright family will be surfing for Culburra Beach, Ace Buchan, Matt Wilkinson will be surfing for last years champions Avoca. Australia’s world tour surfers will be tested in some solid waves, but there are some great teams who have their local heroes who can rattle some cages of the big names. I’ll be heading down on the Burleigh Boardriders supporters bus, and everyone is frothing to get down there and check it out. You can check out the action on 9GO on free to air, or live on Foxsports. I’ll be back with all the action from the beach next week.

Alyssa Lock Wins nib Pro Junior

Snapper Rocks surfer Alyssa Lock has taken out the nib Pro Junior, World Surf League (WSL) Junior Qualifying Series (JQS) event at Merewether beach in Newcastle. Contestants were greeted by ideal conditions consisting of offshore winds and a solid swell. Those conditions

provided right-handers that remained consistent through the morning’s run out tide. Alyssa Lock was the standout junior women’s surfer of this event. The 17-year-old, who will be in Newcastle again next weekend for the Australian Boardriders Battle surfing for Snapper Rocks, said she was “in a really good place with my surfing right now”. In the final, Alyssa (14.40) defeated Molly Picklum (12.40) (Shelly Beach, NSW), Kirra-Belle Olsson (11.10) (Copacabana, NSW) and Anna Dos Santos (9.30) (Dee Why, NSW). “It’s not my biggest win but it’s definitely a confidence booster as my second Pro Junior win,” Lock said. “I won last year in WA, but missed Bells last month because I was at a 6000 in Florida. I finished school last year and can concentrate on my surfing goals in 2018 and I’m really looking forward to competing,” she said. Alyssa has plenty of experience surfing in the Roxy pro at only 14 years of age. She has a start head on her shoulders, and by missing the Pro Junior at Bells Beach, it shows she is concentrating on making the World Tour. I reckon the Tweed Heads lass will. Catch you in the waves.

Perfect sailing conditions, and a record fleet on the Tweed on Sunday By Bill Fenelon, TVSC Commodore.

TWEED VALLEY Sailing Club conducted its eighth race of the Summer Series with a good steady 15 knot northerly breeze and a helpful ebbing tide. A total of 20 boats competed, crewed by 44 sailors, with a further 10 people in support roles and the rescue boat. Sunday’s main event was the Penultimate Race (Heat 4) of the North Coast Corsair Class Championship. This is a race of “One Design” boats, each carrying three crew, and setting spinnakers down wind. It’s a scratch race, so not handicapped, and the competition is very intense. The Tweed Sailing Club hopes to have an Australian Champion in this class in the near future. This race marked a record fleet for Tweed Corsairs, with ten boats competing crewed by 30 sailors. Winning today was Qld State Championship runner up, Corsair 356 “Swell Lady”, skippered by Monique Smith with crew Matt Andrews and Deborah Flannery. They have proven to be an awesome team and also won the handicap point score, leading from start to finish against a very determined

second placed Corsair 388 “Odin” sailed by class Stalwarts, Skipper Daniel Sieders, with Adrian Dokter, and Tamara Sheppard. Third place was Corsair 199 “Minnow” with skipper and Club Commodore Bill Fenelon, with experienced crew Robert Preston and Kynan Luescher. Always very close behind, was fourth placed Corsair 490 “Keenas” (Mark Reynolds Craig Foley and Taj Krasna) followed a mere 20 seconds later by fast finishing Corsair 102 “Melita 3”, (Alison Blatcher, Marg Walgers and Karen Vidler. The top five Corsairs completed the long course on the Fingal reach in one hour and forty minutes, with only ten minutes separating them at the end. It was a lovely day on the water and enjoyed by all. Sailing on the Fingal Reach is also great for spectators, and many lined the river bank to enjoy the spectacle of sailing from close up. The sailing club’s next event is on Sunday, February 25. This race will feature the Penultimate race of the NS14 Class Championship. All are welcome and many boats may require crew. People with boating licences are very welcome to help out by driving our rescue boat.

Pottsville Beach welcomes over 2200 for triathlon LAST SATURDAY, Pottsville Beach welcomed the Tweed Coast Enduro triathlon including over 560 participants plus an estimated 1700 spectators that were on hand to witness lively races in both the sprint and endurance long course. Despite concerns over an impending heat wave, athletes were presented with overall favourable conditions. “Racing conditions were fantastic,” Race Director Mike Crawley said. “Speaking to the athletes after the race, many had achieved new personal bests.” The favourable conditions and fast times would be welcome news to the many endurance athletes from across Australia who were in Pottsville hoping to qualify to compete for Australia at the upcoming Long Course World Championships in Denmark in July 2018. In the long course Elite Category, Matt Slee successfully defended his 2017 title pipping Simon Hearn across the line. On the women’s side, Katey Gibb took home the title with an overall time of 4 hours 30 minutes. Adam Gordon ran away with the sprint distance race capping off a great stretch of racing for him in the Tweed. Gordon has now won both the Olympic Distance and Sprint Distance at the Kingscliff Triathlon,

Between the Flags WE RECORD the passing of our Life Member Keith “Ducks” Lazenby, at the age of 82 years. He gained his Bronze Medallion on April 4, 1954, and Instructors Certificate in 1968. Positions in the Club included Secretary 1954-56, Club Captain 1967-68 and Vice President 1971-72. He also served on the committee for seven terms, was the Clubhouse Director and Caretaker when managing the Squash Courts. In competition he was a member of the Surf Boat Crews and was our Mobile Services Officer 1982-865. Keith won the Club “Blue of Blues” in 1968. The Senior Branch Championships will be conducted at Lennox Head this Sunday with an 8.30am report for 9.00am start, for the Open Male and Female Surf Teams, 6.00am for Board Riding and 8.15am for the Beach Run. Not all country results were mentioned in last week’s notes supplied by NSW. Luke Chaffer teamed with Scott McCartney, Josh Jones, Angus McPhail and Jordan Ellabasi to win all the male team events. Josh Jones won the U17 Board, Kia Onley the U19

and the Long Course Distance and the Sprint Distance at the Enduro. “Many of the athletes and their supporters have come to Pottsville for the first time because of the Enduro, and are now visitors throughout the year for training and holidays,” said Mr Crawley. “Thank you to the local community for showing great spirit throughout the weekend, especially those that hosed down the runners in the heat on Saturday afternoon.” The event’s official charity is the Cabarita Beach Surf Life Saving Club and the Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre. Organisers also helped raise funds for a number of other community groups including Tweed Raiders Junior Rugby League Club, Pottsville Cricket Club, the Murwillumbah Venturer Scouts, Pottsville Men’s Shed, and the Murwillumbah High School Volleyball Team. It is projected over $5000 will be raised for local charities, community groups, and the employment of local young people as a result. Event organisers thank local residents and businesses for working with the event despite any inconvenience caused by road closures and detours. Next up in the Tweed is the Kingscliff Triathlon on March 18 which hosts both State Series and State Championship races. For a full list of results, visit www. tweedenduro.com.au
