THIS WEEKEND is shaping up to be a big one for local boxing with the Kingscliff Boxing Stables “War on the Coast” taking place on Saturday, January 4, at the Cudgen Leagues Club.

Tickets are still available to the feature boxing event with four professional fights and six amateur title fights and up to 400 people expected to attend.

The Weekly spoke to event organiser and trainer Nick Midgley, who operates the Kingscliff Boxing Stables at the Casuarina Rec Club.

Mr Midgley said the event started as a charity fundraiser three years ago.

“We wanted to find a way to give something back to the community and the boxing stables was the perfect fit,” he said.

“The event was such a success that locals asked for it to come back and it’s since become a regular annual event.”

Mr Midgley said a lot of work goes into the preparation and presentation to ensure the best entertainment possible.

“This is a great opportunity for our amateur fighters to have an audience,” he said.

“But we also have four feature professional fights on the night, which is exciting for the club.”

Mr Midgley said the big news is that if Tweed local Josh Fredericksen wins his main event fight then he will fight for a QLD Supermiddleweight title on March 3 at the QT Gold Coast.

“We just got the offer today (Monday, January 30) it’s great news for the club and Josh has a big chance,” he said.

Kingscliff Boxing Stables is a young but successful boxing club, established in November 2013 it has moved from a domestic double garage into one of the best boxing gym setups on the Tweed Shire.

With a professional boxing ring and other state-of-theart equipment, Mr Midgley said the gym provides various different classes to suit people from all walks of life.

To find out more about Kingscliff Boxing Stables “War on the Coast” or to book your ticket(s) or table for this Saturday, phone Nick on: 0456 879 258 (see below advertisement).

Emergency services were called to the Pacific Motorway at Cudgera Creek near the Cudgera Creek Road off ramp following reports of a crash involving a white Ford Falcon station wagon and a motorcycle at about 8.30am on Friday, January 6.

Police said the rider of the motorcycle, a 61-year-old man, was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics, however, he died at the scene.

The driver of the car, a 47-year-old Girards Hill (Lismore) woman, was not injured and was taken to The Tweed Hospital for mandatory testing.

Officers from Tweed/Byron Local Area Command established Strike Force Rumbelow to investigate the incident.

Following investigations, strike force officers on Friday, January 27, arrested the driver of the Ford Falcon.

She was taken to Lismore Police Station where she was charged with murder. She was refused bail and is due to appear at Lismore Local Court on Friday, February 3.

Happy to hear Mr Hallam on water extraction

In the exclusive interview with Mr Jack Hallam in your Thursday, January 26 edition, Mr (Jack) Hallam said, “[I] assure residents that I take their concerns seriously and each of these will be addressed in the most professional manner possible.”

In your article, Mr Hallam goes on to say: “I’m sure the timing could be altered to not interfere with local traffic flow…”

As one of the 185 residents who packed the Uki Town Hall on January 19 to protest Mr Hallam’s proposal, I am happy to hear that.

Since locals, tourists, school buses and visitors use the very narrow and winding Rowlands Creek Rd 24 hours a day, can Mr Hallam please restrict the six semi-trailer truck movements to zero?

It’s getting hotter every year

It certainly feels hotter. So far there have been six days over 35 degrees in Murwillumbah this Summer. That is well below the record in 2004 but climate is not about individual years. Expecting each year to be a bit hotter is like expecting each roll of a dice to be a number higher than the last.

Last year was the hottest global average temperature since regular records began, however climate is about averages over many years.

The ten year average of days over 35 degrees in Murwillumbah has increased four fold since the 1960s and this is expected to more than double again by 2030.

Averages are useful to measure climate change but they understate the real impact and can obscure important trends. Over the past 15 years the rate of climate change in Australia has been slowed by a pattern called the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation or IPO. In the next few years the IPO is expected to switch and climate change will accelerate. The impact of this will be felt not as an average but as more

extremes.

In the near future we can expect some cooler winters and milder summers but we must also be prepared for summers where days above 35 degrees string together and stifling weather persists for weeks on end. This will be especially hard on the elderly and disadvantaged families who cannot afford air conditioning.

Rainfall is becoming more concentrated in shorter, more intense downpours. Flooding will occur with less warning and with higher localised peaks. This can restrict access to emergency health care, damage homes and disrupt business unless we better prepare. In some years Spring will begin in August, quickly becoming tinder dry and bushfire prone.

None of this change can be halted but by adopting renewable energy and reducing greenhouse emissions we can help prevent things from getting a lot worse. Council, businesses and community services need to get on board because renewable energy now saves more than it costs. Change is coming. The choice is to shape that change or to suffer from it.

Greg Reid, tweedcan.org.au

No – I think water extraction should be stopped

Jack Hallam’s claim ( TVW January 26) about extracted water having “instant refresh rates” is disingenuous, unless he has some magical power of creating water from nothing. The water must come from somewhere and just because he does not know who might be disadvantaged he assumes that it is free! It is not his to remove and sell. And the bottling plant is in Queensland so he cannot even claim local employment. It should be stopped.

Jim Berting, Uki

Men’s Shed should work with Council

Craig Buttfield (TVW 26/1/2017) should not under-estimate the community’s ability to differentiate between fact and fiction, nor the overwhelming support for protection of our endangered iconic local koalas. Support for a men’s shed at Black Rocks and unjustified denigration of Councillors is based on misinformation circulating in the community.

It is Mr Buttfield who is wrong.

The Barry Sheppard sports field has been identified as a site for a men’s shed, as indicated in the 11 December 2014 Council report which states that it was tabled as an option but Pottsville and District Men’s Shed representatives rejected it, claiming that it was too distant from their members. The Barry

Sheppard sports field is about the same distance from the centre of Pottsville as is the Black Rocks site, it is more central to their membership catchment, closer to public transport, with opportunity for shared security arrangements with the AFL and Pony Club. As there is already a men’s shed at the Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre, it does not make any sense to duplicate this facility at the far southern end of the coastal membership catchment.

Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry recently reported that the Pottsville Primary School is very happy for the men’s shed to continue operating there. In the two years that they have been at the school there have been no incidents of serious injury. Why waste public money building another temporary facility at Black Rocks, especially considering that they don’t have the funds to complete it and Community Building Partnerships are not issuing any more grants for temporary sites?

In the best interests of the koalas, the community and their members, P&DMS should be working with, not against, Council and State MP Geoff Provest in order to speed up the process of finding a centrallylocated permanent site.

Dave Norris, Pottsville

has changed except that Katie has done anything any everything in her power including some dodgy political manoeuvring to stop what was fully approved by the previous council, regrettably she has some really soft and seemingly confused associates in the council now and she has been successful in doing so.

Even if lot 3 became available tomorrow the added costs associated with developing the site would make it impossible for the Men’s Shed to afford the construction for many years and I don’t see Katie’s council putting “her” hand up to fund the Mens Shed beyond the public money that she has already wasted. Yes by all means investigate other sites (as the council said it would do on our behalf and it seems has forgotten about) in the mean time all we want to do is build the fully council approved Black Rocks temporary shed. That would give us and or council five years to investigate and get approval for other sites and the time to raise the funds to do so. As for revegetating the oval I’m sure that there are a lot of Black Rocks residents that would object most loudly about that. It seems that once again in this great democratic country that the majority does not rule, instead Katie Milne and her noisy minority has it’s way.

Having read the letter from Andrew Bennet Jan 26 whilst eating my breakfast it was not hard to see the greeny bias slathered over every word on the page.

In fact it was so thick I could have buttered my toast with it. It’s just a great pity the understanding of the situation was so thin. He has obviously been told that the site is available by some dishonest (by omission) individuals and has taken them at their word on the subject, by the way Mr Bennet I have a brand new bridge in Kingscliff for sale if your interested.

Yes we the Mens Shed members would love to have a shed at the much mentioned lot 3. But it is not currently available and won’t be available for years to come, it took years for the preschool to get approval to park cars in the same area.

We have outgrown the portable classroom so kindly provided us by the school and are in need of a new site now, can people not get it through their heads that the council did extensive enquiries and looked at all possibilities including lot 3 and came up with the Black Rocks Sports Field as the only viable short term option, why else do you think that they the council suggested and approved it. Since then nothing

I for one would have thought proper hydrological assessments would need to be commissioned and then critiqued by industry peers who are also commissioned (TVW January 26).

My concern other than the environmental is why the need to truck the water to Yatala. I do not object to Mr Hallam from profiting from selling water from his bore.

However, The Tweed Council should stipulate, if environmental concerns have been allayed; is for the water to be bottled in the shire.

It’s essentially the Tweed’s resource and thus should benefit the community and not just one single individual.

In today’s world of concrete, bitumen and glass we seem to have lost our connection with the natural world. Many people live in a manmade bubble devoid of biodiversity.

The less we connect with the natural world the less we understand and appreciate it, and the less we see a need to protect it.

The Tweed Shire is regarded as one the most biodiverse regions in Australia. Our entry statement should reflect this, not the sea of bare rocks, concrete and bitumen at the new Caltex roadhouse and roundabout on the Tweed Valley Way. If you enter a house and find the occupants haven’t looked after it, you are less likely to take care of it while you are there. If we send a message to visitors to our shire that we value our natural landscapes, they are more likely to appreciate and look after them.

There should be wholehearted support for Mayor Milne’s motion at the 2 February Council meeting to bring forward a Council report on enhancement of the landscaping at the Caltex roadhouse and to develop a policy to ensure dense landscaping in the future. The landscaping should consist of endemic native species which are representative of the biodiversity which can be found in the shire.

This will be a big first step in encouraging reconnection with nature and saving what’s left of the real Australia. It will also send a message that we value what we have and do not want it trashed by inappropriate Gold Coast style overdevelopment.

Gladys has done an outstanding job as Treasurer and in her previous portfolio as Transport Minister, a quick trip to Sydney would blow your mind with the number of projects that are in progress or already completed. Progress on the M1 to Sydney is ahead of schedule and is proceeding at a record pace.

Gladys will prove to be a very good Premier, she has already shown this by being strong in making a number of adjustments to her ministry, some of which were doing a great job however it is important to place new blood in positions from time to time to energise the Ministry.

Kingscliff holiday park visitors given extension to depart LONG-TERM VISITORS to the Kingscliff Holiday Park have been granted another week to pack and say their farewells as one of the most iconic holiday parks on the Tweed Coast closes for redevelopment.

Several long-stay visitors began dismantling their sites and campervans on Monday, January 30, after Tweed Shire Council allowed another week for visitors to depart.

The Weekly spoke with several long-stay residents who said they were “devastated” by the closure but understood the need to redevelop the foreshore.

Tweed Shire Holiday Parks unit coordinator Andrew Illingworth said the change had come as a shock to many people despite there being no “permanent residents” at the site.

“It’s been sad for some residents to let go, especially after developing such a strong knit community along the foreshore,” he said.

Mr Illingworth said that contrary to some reports there were never any permanent residents at the Kingscliff Holiday Park.

“They were only ever allowed to stay for 150 days at a time and they could not receive mail at the sites,” he said.

“And while it’s true a lot of people would spend a few nights away and come back to their site, we hope the new holiday park will enable more people to stay for shorter periods.”

Mr Illingworth said many of the residents were from Brisbane and had decided to purchase property in Kingscliff to remain in the area.

“It’s been sad for them to let go and everyone understands it’s time and there’s several - those who can afford it - have purchased a unit or property in Kingscliff to stay here,” he said.

Mr Illingworth said the Kingscliff Holiday Park had been in desperate need of renovations.

“It was time for the park to undergo a major renovation,”

he said.

“We’ve already had such good feedback from Pottsville Holiday Park, I’m sure we can achieve the same result for Kingscliff.”

But before they go many long-stay residents are taking mementos including toilet signs, site numbers and even the main “Kingscliff Holiday Park” entry sign.

“Yes, it’s a shame there’s been some things taken from the park, but it’s also understandable that people want to take a part of something that meant so much to them for so many years.”

Tweed Coast Holiday Parks (TCHP) in partnership with Tweed Shire Council was successful in obtaining Federal Government funding to allow for the Kingscliff Foreshore upgrade.

The $21.2 million project comprises the construction of a rock wall to protect the coastline, the redevelopment of Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park to have 61 sites and the establishment of a central open space park.

A total of $9.8 million will be contributed to the project by the Australian Government to construct a permanent seawall to protect the coastline from Cudgen Headland Surf Life Saving Club to the Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club. $7.5m will be spent by TCHP to modernise the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park to better meet the changing demands of people holidaying in the town.

Mr Illingworth said he hoped the new park will open in 18 months or in August 2018.

CCTV is up and running despite nasty rumours TWEED SHIRE Council General Manager Troy Green has quashed rumours the Murwillumbah CCTV surveillance cameras are not active or recording across the CBD following suggestions the cameras were acting as a deterrent only.

A resident, who preferred not to be named, told The Weekly he believed the Murwillumbah CBD cameras were undergoing lengthy maintenance and have been “out of order” for months.

However, Mr Green said the rumours were false and said the downtime is limited to operational matters and maintenance.

“The system currently operates 24/7 with downtime for maintenance and other operational matters,” he told The Weekly.

“The CCTV system is located within the main CBD area of Murwillumbah. It mainly focused on the public access areas.

“These areas have been identified in collaboration with NSW Police. As a matter of operational security, we do not identify specific camera locations. Council’s CCTV cameras have in the past been the target of vandalism.”

Mr Green said the CCTV system was required to operate in accordance with the NSW Government and NSW Police policies.

“The system is a digital CCTV system which is registered with the NSW Police,” he said.

“The system operates in accordance with the “NSW Government policy statement and guidelines for the establishment and implementation of closed circuit television (CCTV) in public places”.

“Again, for security reasons we do not disclose specific technical details of the CCTV system.

“Council has an ongoing commitment to the Murwillumbah CBD CCTV system and acknowledges it has an important role to play in community safety.”

Mr Green also revealed plans to upgrade the CCTV system to use direct fibre optics.

“As a follow, up to the recent Murwillumbah Main Street drainage project, Council is arranging to have a direct optic fibre connection installed to most of the CCTV system in the first quarter of 2017,” he said.

“This will mark a major upgrade to the system and which will be reflected by an increase in quality. During the installation period, some disruptions are to be expected.

“The NSW Police are consulted and involved in the effective operations of our CCTV systems in public places.”

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Why it’s worth challenging compulsory acquisition of property

Target reached for petition to re-instate Women’s Service AFTER MORE than 12 months since the shock closure of the Tweed Valley Women’s Service at Knox House, the service will have its day with the State Government after a petition reached more than 10,000 signatures last month.

Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot MP and representatives from the Tweed Valley Women’s Service will hand the petition with more than 10,000 signatures calling on the NSW State Government to restore funding to the Tweed Valley Women’s Service.

The petition will be presented to Jenny Aitchison, Shadow Minister for The Prevention of Domestic Violence who will then lodge it for debate in the NSW State Parliament.

“I launched this petition in January 2016 after the Tweed Valley Women’s Service was forced to close when their contract was suddenly cancelled by their lead agency On

Thousands of people in NSW are facing having their homes and property compulsorily acquired by the government in 2017.

Track Community Programs,” Mrs Elliot said.

“This parliamentary debate is now triggered because more than 10,000 people have signed the petition to restore this funding to the Tweed Valley Women’s Service which has provided counselling, accommodation and support for women and children experiencing domestic violence for more than 30 years.

“The complete inaction by the NSW Government and the North Coast Nationals MPs over the closure of the Tweed Valley Women’s Service is both shameful and irresponsible.

“We have a domestic violence crisis across this nation and here on the North Coast we have Nationals State MPs Geoff Provest and Thomas George who have refused to help.

“As both State members have shown they are unwilling and unable to do the job they were elected to do, I launched the petition demanding the NSW Government restore funding to the Tweed Valley Women’s Service.” (Continues below)

Digby Dunn of Stacks Law Firm, a specialist in the legal field of compulsory acquisition, says the law doesn’t allow you to stop the government taking your home if it is needed for a major state project, but there is plenty you can do to make sure you get the best possible deal.

“The cost of obtaining independent legal advice generally has to be covered by the government body acquiring the property.”

The government has announced a “more generous” acquisition arrangement, but Mr Dunn said it remains to be seen how this will work.

“I’ve been helping clients fight to get better deals out of the compulsory acquisition process for more than 20 years and I’ve found that if you challenge the government’s initial offer, you nearly always end up with a better deal,” Mr Dunn said.

The study examined 2,970 cases of compulsory acquisition over the past eight years. More than 80 per cent were concluded by agreement with the government department acquiring the property.

Women’s Service advocates calling for service reinstatement

In 58 disputed cases between 2007 and 2016 that went to a court hearing, the compensation ordered by the court was almost 58 per cent higher than the initial offer.

TWEED VALLEY Women’s Service advocate and Women’s Watch coordinator Ilze Jaunberzins has praised the community support for helping a petition to re-open the Women’s Service reach more than 10,000 signatures.

Speaking with The Weekly, Mrs Jaunberzins said the forced closure of Tweed Valley Women’s Service (TVWS) in December 2015, specialised and holistic domestic violence services in the Tweed Valley “fell into disarray”.

“The closure of the 30-year award winning TVWS is representative of the decimation of specialised DV services in NSW as there are now only 14 out of 76 left,” she said.

“We need more services, not less, as the epidemic of DV is accelerating, not diminishing.”

Mrs Jaunberzins said more than 10,000 concerned residents of NSW from Bega – Bankstown- Broken Hill – Banora Point; from Cronulla – Cabramatta to Casuarina, Wagga

In urban residential properties the average compensation ordered by the court was almost 33 per cent higher. In 16 cases involving rural residential land, the court’s determination of compensation was higher than the previous offer to the tune of 42 per cent.

When an owner challenges the government’s initial offer, it goes to the independent Office of the Valuer General to determine compensation for the property owner. The property owner can then challenge the Valuer General’s determination in the Land and Environment Court.

“Most disputed cases are resolved before the case gets to a court hearing. But the analysis suggests it’s worth fighting it out to the end,” Mr Dunn said.

“That is a huge difference and shows that it is well worth having experienced legal advice on your side from the start,” Mr Dunn said. “I’ve seen the government bully home owners and scare them into settling quickly. The government has a full-time team whose sole aim is to pay home owners as little as possible.”

Warm Up!

NEW SOUTH Wales and Queensland are set to strengthen cross-border relations with a landmark agreement announced on Friday, January 27, that will mean streamlining transport, economic development, health services including the NDIS and family services.

For decades services have stopped at the border and the new collaboration will help reduce service disruption and develop stronger relations between the two States.

NSW Cross Border Commissioner, James McTavish was joined by representatives from both Tweed and Gold Coast councils, Member for Tweed Geoff Provest MP, Member for Lismore Thomas George MP and State Member for Currumbin, Jann Stuckey, at an announcement at the border marker at Tweed Heads/Coolangatta.

NSW Deputy Premier, John Barilaro, today welcomed the announcement of the NSW-Queensland ‘Statement of Principles and Priorities for Regional Collaboration 2016-19’, hailing it as a landmark agreement between the two states.

“This is fantastic news for people living and working on both sides of the border and will greatly assist in the resolution of long standing border anomalies,” he said.

“Better coordination of government services through more effective collaboration across state lines means greater outcomes for communities.

Governments will be tasked to address issues on a project-by-project basis in four key areas; regional economic development, alignment of services and sharing of information, local transport and issues of national significance.

It provides for better recognition of teacher registration and accreditation, joint planning and response to emergencies, and the integration of cross-border bus services and point-to-point transport.

“Major border infrastructure projects and the harmonisation of heavy vehicle regulations will also be actively progressed,” Mr Barilaro said.

“A very important component of the

Solar Bonus Ends This Year!

Are You Ready Yet?

Are you one of the smart people in the Northern Rivers who are benefiting from the 60 cent per kWh export paid to them under the NSW Solar Bonus Scheme?

Payments under this plan expire at the end of 2016, leaving solar owners with 4 - 6 cents for each kWh exported after then. 20,000 homes in the Northern Rivers will have to install new meters just to be able to use the power they now export entirely to the grid.

888 Solar Tek, your local hybrid and off-grid solar experts, have developed a smart migration plan, which will eliminate 80% or more of your ongoing power charges. They can install additional solar panels and battery storage now, to cover all of your daily energy use, slashing power charges.

Every cent of the Solar Bonus generated by your existing system is collected right up until the end of the scheme, when both system are combined.

Your new hybrid solar system allows greater independence and typically pays for itself in 3-5 years. 888 Solar Tek tailor the new solar system around your existing equipment and provide 12 months free monitoring and support.

If you have very low electricity usage you may choose to go off the grid altogether to eliminate fixed supply charges that make up most of your bill.

888 Solar Tek have new technologies that can operate both on and off the grid.

This makes staged transition to energy self-sufficiency cost effective and avoids costly equipment change-over.

Cross-border services: what you need to know?

THE AREAS of focus and priority areas under the Queensland and New South Wales Statement of Principles and Priorities for Cross-border Collaboration 2016-19 are: Regional Economic Development The priority areas are: Collaborative planning for future crossborder urban and regional developments.

Undertaking a systematic approach to addressing the issues in approved urban and regional developments in cross-border communities.

Joint advocacy for major infrastructure projects.

Identifying infrastructure constraints and public domain improvements to encourage investment in cross-border regions.

Aligning Services and Sharing Information Residents living in cross-border regions should have equitable access to services and avoid the need for residents to navigate both service systems.

In respect to vulnerable families and children, information sharing is central to providing appropriate services for families who may live or work across borders, or who may move from one state to another.

The priority areas are:

Take Back Your Power!

24 Hr Solar Power - Batteries Included!

Why pay for electricity when it is cheaper to make your own? Selling your solar power for 4 - 6 cents per kWh sucks! Beat the network by generating and storing your own power. Our revolutionary new solar & battery systems put you in charge of your home energy production.

agreement is the opportunity to better share information with interstate government agencies to ensure the protection of children and victims of domestic violence.

“My government colleagues in Tweed, Lismore, Northern Tablelands and Barwon have long championed the cause of crossborder communities, highlighting the difficulties and challenges of living and working near a border.

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said cross-border problems have an impact on business operators and residents alike.

“This agreement represents a positive outcome for the Tweed and is a great step forward for communities on both sides of the border,” he said.

Thomas George, Member for Lismore, agreed, saying this was great news for his electorate.

“The whole of the north-west boundary of the Lismore electorate is the Queensland border, so this is great news for those townships and rural areas – better cross border communication will make a positive difference to the lives of people who are living, working and running businesses both sides of the border,” he said.

The agreement follows the recent signing of the ACT-NSW Memorandum of Understanding for Regional Collaboration.

The Deputy Premier said it proves the NSW Government is committed to the resolution of cross-border issues.

“I’m delighted this agreement has finally come to fruition and look forward to working with my government colleagues, the NSW Cross-Border Commissioner and the Queensland Government to tackle the multitude of cross-border issues.”

Tweed Shire Council Director Planning and Regulation, Vince Connell said the plan was a positive step forward in addressing many of the entrenched cross-border issues which affect Tweed residents and businesses.

“Better collaboration by government agencies on both sides of the border will lead to better outcomes for our residents,” Mr Connell said.

AS A SEVERE to extreme heatwave conditions bear down on the Tweed Director of Public Health Paul Corben wanted to reminded people to take the risk of heat-related illness seriously.

Local ambulance officers are also reporting several elderly residents are refusing to use their air-conditioners for fear of a spike in their power usage - only to later suffer from heat exhaustion.

“Heat-related illness is very serious and ranges from mild conditions to very serious medical emergencies,” Mr Corben said.

“While heat-related illness may affect anyone, certain groups are particularly vulnerable.”

“These include the elderly, infants and children, people with a chronic medical condition and people who live alone.

“During a heatwave, it is very important to stay in regular contact with your elderly friends, neighbours and relatives, and to look out for other vulnerable members of your community.

“Heat puts a lot of strain on the body and can cause dehydration, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. It can also make underlying health conditions worse.

“Being prepared and taking simple precautions reduces the risk of heat-related illness.”

Mr Corben said the following simple precautions will help minimise the risk of health-related illness: • Drink plenty of water and remember to carry some with you when you’re out and about • Avoid alcoholic, hot or sugary drinks • Plan your day around the heat. Stay

Sweet Talk

AFTER SCHOOL DRAMA CLASSES

with Robert Hawken

WELCOME BACK to another year of Sweet Talk and let’s hope another bumper harvest for Tweed growers in 2017.

Most of Condong’s cane growers have been quite busy over the Christmas and first month of the year, due to a late crushing season that finished in December.

Weed control and fertilizing programs have been given most priority and the soy bean planting extended well into January.

These activities have kept cane growers in the fields and the drier than usual Summer, so far, has helped growers with this fieldwork.

The infrequent and scattered storm activity has provided just enough rainfall and the cane and soy bean crops are responding well.

An average to good cane crop is anticipated by most growers in the coming season but it is too early at this stage to make an accurate forecast of the crop size.

November and December planted soy beans are looking very good and should yield pleasing tonnage.

At this time of the year cane growers are also focussing on machinery maintenance and where necessary, upgrading equipment.

Many larger growers have a substantial investment in farm machinery.

Most people wouldn’t realise that a large state-of-the-art farm tractor can have more technology than an expensive European car and cost a lot more too.

Until next month, happy growing.

NORTH COAST Local Lands Services District Veterinarians have confirmed a case of Three Day Sickness in a cow in the Kyogle area.

Three Day Sickness or Bovine Ephemeral Fever is a viral disease of cow and those animals affected with Bovine Ephemeral Fever experience a sudden onset of fever and are often reluctant to move.

These animals stop eating and become depressed and can drool saliva, develop a nasal discharge and may have watery eyes.

The fever may cause temporary infertility in bulls and abortions in pregnant cows. Typically affected animals are only sick for a few days hence the name Three Day Sickness. Death or permanent lameness is seen occasionally due to the infection itself, or, as the result of misadventure.

Heat stroke is another consideration if these animals go down in hot weather and affected animals should be provided with adequate shelter, water and food.

Anti-inflammatory drugs and calcium supplements may be administered under veterinary advice.

Once cattle have been infected with the disease, most develop long term immunity.

A vaccination is available and requires two doses of vaccine four weeks apart to achieve adequate protection.

The second dose of vaccine can be given only two weeks after the first if protection is required urgently.

If you have any questions regarding Three Day Sickness please contact your North Coast Local Land Services District Veterinarian or your local vet.

Survey of biggest pest animals LOCAL LAND Services is calling on Tweed residents who are having trouble with pest animals on their property to get in touch as part of a survey.

Local Land Services is conducting the survey to understand the needs of landholders, their access to services and any barriers they face.

The survey is part of a statewide program to increase the capacity of landholders to manage pest animals.

Central West Local Land Services Acting General Manager and project leader Andrew Mulligan said the Australian Government funded program would result in a more informed and better prepared land manager in dealing with pest species on their property.

“The aim of the pest review project is to increase landholder participation to manage pests through enhanced training and access to resources,” he said.

The survey will gauge landholder opinion on: The current level of understanding of pest management for landholders, ease of access to services, the ability to obtain training courses, availability of up to date resources and any barriers currently faced regarding pest animal management.

Mr Mulligan said many land managers were unsure of what was a declared pest, what responsibility they had and what resources were available to them.

“The survey will allow Local Land Services to determine what is important to land managers and how we can best meet their needs in achieving our shared goal of reducing pest species and improving the landscape,” he said.

“A better-informed landholder, who is taking an active role in controlling pests on their property is something we all strive for.”

The survey is currently available to complete online at open.lls.nsw.gov.au until Friday 17 February 2017.

Meanwhile, there’s currently three positions advertised

community,” Mr Howes said.

“Over the first few days in the position I have been impressed about the outstanding opportunities and quality innovative teaching that the students have access to on a daily basis.

“I have also been very pleased by the warm and welcoming culture of the school. I am very much looking forward to getting to know the students, their families and the community.”

Mr Howes’ previous appointment was as Deputy Principal at The Rivers Secondary College, Richmond River High Campus in Lismore. His intention is to remain as Principal of Murwillumbah High School well into the future.

POTTSVILLE RESIDENT Alan Davis recently wrote to The Weekly with an offer to help find lost or mysterious treasures with his metal detecting skills.

“For the best part of three years now, I have been detecting as a hobby,” he wrote.

“During that time, I have occasionally found what I would classify as an item of interest, something other than junk.

“I still have these items. Now the awkward part is, although I put a notice up (locally) I don’t describe the article in detail, to ensure that the legitimate owner contacts me.

“There are various reasons why I may not get any enquiries.

It could have been lost by a tourist, or, if lost by a local, they may not read the notice board.”

“So if you lose something or have lost anything in the past (metallic or part-metallic) please contact me on (02) 6676 2685.

“I am available to help you, even if you have lost the item on your own property.”

However, Mr Davis said there were also some conditions.

“But please note, I do not do this for personal gain, so I have to make it clear that it has to be something of personal value (monetary, historical or sentimental) and not just, say, a decimal coin for instance,” he wrote.

“This offer is free to Tweed Shire residents or visitors to this Shire and local Historical Societies.”

For more information phone Mr Davis on (02) 6676 2685.

Meanwhile, the nation’s six-year-olds could undertake a counting skills examination, naming shapes and sounding out words under a ‘light touch’ test to check their schooling progress.

Federal Education Minister Simon Birmingham told AAP media that he has appointed a five-person panel to develop the new assessments for Year 1 students.

Based on assessments used in England, the Year 1 tests are likely to involve children verbally identifying letters and sounds in real and made up words, simple counting, recognising numbers, naming shapes and demonstrating basic measurement knowledge.

Our Tweed Aussie heroes recognised on Australia Day TWEED SPORTING icon and Paralympian Bill Chaffey has been named Tweed Citizen of the Year alongside a host of other Tweed heroes at the Tweed Shire Australia Day Awards at Twin Towns on Thursday, January 26.

The Australia Day Awards were presented on Thursday, January 26, in conjunction with the Citizenship Ceremony in which 50 people took the Oath of Affirmation to become Australian Citizens.

The awards were presented to crowd of about 250 at Twin Towns entertainment venues.

An acknowledgment of Country and address was carried out by Tweed Shire Council Mayor Katie Milne which was followed by addresses from Tweed Shire Australia Day Ambassador Iain Finlay, Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot and State Member for Tweed Geoff Provest.

The Tweed’s highest honour, Citizen of the Year, was awarded to Paralympic triathlete Bill Chaffey from Bilambil Heights.

In 2016, a decade on from an accident that left him an incomplete paraplegic, he had the honour of representing Australia at the Rio Paralympics where he did the Tweed proud, finishing in fourth place.

His wins include first place at the 2014 Oceania Paratriathlon Championships in a world best time of 58.22, and the 2014 ITU World Paratriathlon event in Elwood, Melbourne.

In March 2013, Chaffey set a new TRI-1 world best time for an Olympic distance triathlon, his time of 2:08:59 bettered the previous record by five minutes.

Mr Chaffey spoke about the injury that left him paralysed and acknowledged the people around him who supported him and his “incredible life in the Tweed”.

“I cannot speak more highly of this region and I feel honoured to live here and to receive this award,” he said.

Kingscliff Business Chamber President and Salt Surf Life Saving Club stalwart Mark Humphries, and long-serving Murwillumbah VIEW club president Shirley Kuhnell, shared the Volunteer of the Year honour.

Kingscliff’s Paralympic swimmer Kate Wilson and Olympic swimmer Matt Abood were joint winners of the Sporting Achievement category.

Twelve-year-old Lindisfarne Anglican School student Sam Smith was named Young Achiever in Community Service for his efforts in raising almost $8,000 for Tweed charity Kids In Need.

The Tweed Shire’s Community Event of the Year award

was shared between the Kingscliff Lions Club 2016 District convention, the Kids In Need Association Dragon Boat Day, and the Tumbulgum 150 year celebrations.

The ‘Tweed Battle of the Bands’ was named winner of the Arts and Cultural Achievement award.

A total of 50 people from all corners of the globe took the Australia Oath to become Australian Citizens including nine from UK and six people from the USA as well as one from Trinidad and Tobago, a country in the Caribbean.

“I also acknowledge this can be a day of mixed emotions for the Aboriginal community and my thoughts are with you.”

Mr Finlay (pictured right) gave a stirring speech around the meaning of Australia Day and he highlighted the need for Australians to hold on to a “fair go”.

“Australia Day is not a celebration for everyone,” he said.

“There’s a lot of people who were here a long time before.

We must acknowledge the great hardships felt because of our presence here,” he said.

“And while we have come a long way and the divisions between rich and poor with widening.

“I would ask people to hold on to the theory of a fair go.

It’s a cliche but a very powerful cliche. Australia Day can inspire our future.

“I believe Australia could benefit from project such as the Snowy Mountain Scheme. In which we can take on visionary projects that can carry us beyond, maybe I should say beyond 2000.”

Mayor Milne said the awards honour some of the many selfless achievers in the community.

“Our award recipients demonstrate there is much to be proud of here in the Tweed,” she said.

“We are lucky to have these outstanding citizens in our Shire but I know there are many more quiet achievers out there giving their heart and soul to the community and environmental causes – you know who you are.

“On behalf of Council I would like to congratulate and thank every one of you for contributing so much to this Shire.

“There are 50 very excited people from 16 different countries who will become new Australian citizens today, I’m sure they will embraced by the community and be made to feel very welcome.

Horror accidents and lucky escapes MANY TWEED residents expressed their shock at an accident that occurred at Tweed Heads South on Sunday, January 29, at 5pm.

The accident has left a 20-year-old passenger in a stable condition at Gold Coast University Hospital.

While specifics surrounding the accident are yet to be revealed, a white Subaru Liberty driven by a 22-year-old female was travelling south on the Pacific Motorway near at Tweed Heads South.

The vehicle, which was also carrying the 22-year-old male passenger, has somehow collided with a truck spinning the car into a tree.

The crash seen was described by many residents as “sickening” and it was the exact site of a previous accident in late 2016 involving a truck and limousine.

Fortunately, no one was killed in the accident and while the driver only suffered minor injuries her passenger remains in a stable condition at Gold Coast University Hospital.

The accident followed a hectic weekend for emergency service crews including Tweed Heads Firefighters who were called to a structural fire, a narrow escape for a reversing driver and a car into the Tweed River.

A Banora Point resident avoided serious injury after accidentally backing their car onto an overhang on Sunday, January 29.

Tweed Heads Firefighters used airbags to raise the rear of the car to enable it to be winched out by tow truck drivers.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured and the vehicle will need some body repair.

On Friday, January 27, Tweed Heads Firefighters attended a call for a vehicle into the Tweed River at Fingal.

Firefighters also attended a hazardous materials incident with a diesel spill into Jack Evans Boat Harbor, a car accident with person reported trapped, an explosion resulting in a structural fire and numerous fire alarms.

Luckily no one was seriously injured in any of these incidents.

Council sinks Seabreeze subdivision at Pottsville

TWEED SHIRE Council says the NSW Land and Environment Court has dismissed an appeal by a developer seeking approval for a 65-lot residential subdivision at the Seabreeze Estate at Pottsville, which is earmarked for a future school site.

Newland Developers Pty Ltd lodged a development application with Council on June 3, 2015 seeking to subdivide land known as Lot 1147 DP 115395 into 65 lots over two stages. Council refused the application and the developers subsequently appealed the decision.

Tuesday’s judgement found that Council’s decision to maintain the site for a future school was appropriate.

Mayor of Tweed, Councillor Katie Milne was jubilant about the Court’s decision, saying it was an important victory for the people of Pottsville in this long-running saga.

“This judgement is a vindication of the community’s strong stand in this. I’m so pleased Council supported them and it goes to show that going to court for the community is the right thing to do. It’s wonderful when we can get a win for the community like this,” Councillor Milne said “This should end any future threat to this school site.

“The Department of Education should take heed of this ruling for their future strategic planning. Council and the community knew that Pottsville is set to grow and we cannot afford to let go of this valuable site which has been earmarked for this purpose.

“This is particularly welcome news for Seabreeze residents who bought into this estate on the understanding a school would one day be built on this land, not more houses.”

In her judgement, Commissioner Morris said: “….it was common ground that a school will be required in Pottsville.

“The council’s long term strategic planning has and continues to address that need through its DCP by identifying that land.

Planning for the orderly and economic use of the land does not always mean that thresholds that trigger the need for a particular land use always coincide with the completion of surrounding development.

“There may be a delay in finalising the delivery of the full range of infrastructure required by a community for a variety of reasons. That should not prevent the delivery of those facilities that have been planned for and which are demonstrated to be necessary over time. This is a particularly important element of strategic planning and ensuring delivery of all necessary infrastructure over time,” Commissioner Morris said.

Also new this week are our locally grown mangoes. Will Everest and Shelle have spent the weekend picking from their mango trees located on a delightfully scenic part of Everest Farm. Shelle said that their mangoes are grown without using any sprays or fertilizers - just sunshine, rain and lots of love.

They will have a great range of mangoes for the next couple of weeks as they picked Valencia Pride, Bowen’s, R2E2, Kensington Prides, Sensations and some Namdoc Mia Thai green mangoes.

Will Everest is a third generation farmer from a family that selected an 1800acre farm in Murwillumbah in the early 1900’s. Their bananas are also superb. If you are not yet familiar with the Everest Farm stall look for the Will and Dan in their black shirts with the Everest logo.

Mangoes are also grown by Rainbow Fruit Flats who convert a lot of their fruits into ice blocks, dried fruits and their very popular fruit flats – great for school lunches. They also have Dragon Fruit so enjoy sinking your teeth into the succulent fleshy softness of the delicious and nutritious dragon fruit this week.

Chilled dragon fruit are perfect on a hot summer’s day AND they also make fantastic naturally red ice blocks. Blend

dragon fruit with bananas – freeze and you have a really healthy icy treat for the whole family to enjoy!

Gunters Flammkuchen Pizzas will be back next week and Crabbes Creek Woodfired will continue providing only their delightful sourdough breads. Jon apologises for any confusion about their mixed messages but he has other work demands.

Community Support: Tweed Palliative Support (TPS) is at the market this week with their artisan range of delicious chocolates – great for gifts and this week they have some heart shaped ones for Valentines Day too. Enjoy a decadent chocolate macadamia with your coffee or chai.

This year Tweed Palliative Support and the Murwillumbah Community Men’s Shed are alternating at the market. These are two community organisations that the market sponsors.

Next week the men will be back with their very popular camphor laurel breadboards; such a great and affordable gift.

TPS is fund raising to support the palliative care that they provide with no government funding. So please say hello to Liza and Meredith who are behind this very worthy cause and help them to help the locals in need.

Seasonal changes Costanzo Apples – last seasons apples have finished but Andy will be back very soon with new season Royal Gala apples AND grapes on 8th February or at the latest 15th.

Nudgel Nuts - returns in March Narbey’s Best Avocados returns late March or early April Blueberry Fields returns in July or August weather depending. *REMEMBER* ATM at the market Did you know…? Shoppers can now enjoy the convenience of an ATM on site at the market.

How can you reduce your energy consumption and power bills?

POWER BILLS in NSW went up by almost 15% in 2016 and they are again forecast to increase by a similar amount from July 1 this year. This is a massive increase to any power bill whether you are in a small residential home or running a large commercial business. What can you do?

There is so much you can do to reduce the impact of rising electricity costs and reduce your consumption, and it is about implementing a wholistic approach to the way you consume energy. Simple things such as turning off the lights at night or when you go out, not running air conditioning when you don’t need to and switching appliances off is a start.

Other ways we recommend is to install energy efficient lighting and updating electrical appliances.

LED lights for example consume about 30% of the power of fluorescent bulbs and last up to 4 times

longer. Multiple this by 100 lights in a building and the numbers really start to add up.

Next stage is to consider new technologies to offset energy consumption by installing solar panels, solar hot water and battery storage. The benefits of solar for businesses is consistently overlooked. Businesses are perfect for Solar as they generally operate during the day when solar is working at its peak. Home owners benefit as well when they can maximize energy usage during the day when its sunny or they can store excess energy not used during the day so that it can be used at night by adding battery storage.

Everyone is different on how and when they use their power and thus ways to reduce power consumption will vary on a case by case basis. The Solar Man specializes in solving your energy problems – talk to us today to see how we can help you become energy independent.

REDUCE YOUR ENERGY BILLS BY UP TO 80% “TESLA POWERWALL 2 IS COMING”

2. Use biodegradable cleaners. Using natural, biodegradable cleaning products, this reduces your exposure to harsh toxins and other chemicals This also reduces the introduction of these substances into the environment.

3. Use compact-fluorescent (CFL) or LED lights. Though CFL and LED lights , these both have a higher purchase price than standard incandescent bulbs, although they last longer .Replace outdated appliances with their greener counterparts. Energy Star appliances have labels helping you asses their energy requirements over time. Look for the yellow tags when you buy your next appliance, splurge up front for the long term economic and environmental savings.

4. Get an energy audit and make simple changes around your office and house. Fixing leaks and cracks in your home and office can cut up to 20% off the costs of your heating and cooling bills.

5. Use public transportation, drive an alternative fuel or hybrid vehicles, or bike. Any of these three methods of transportation will reduce the carbon footprint of your home or business and highlight your environmental commitment. This will save you money over time.

6. Recycle outside the box. In addition to recycling everything that can be recycled, think green when buying or replacing items. Consider purchasing second hand office furniture instead of brand new pieces.

7. Power your home /office with alternative energy. In many areas of the country you can sign up to purchase “green power” from your current utility provider. Green power is generated from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, geothermal, hydropower and plant matter. Having green power increases your electricity bill’s by a significant percentage .

Two Free Introductory Nights 

RICHMOND TWEED Regional Library's (RTRL) children's activities will begin at the Community Centre in Tweed Heads South next week.

The Community Centre, located next to the Tweed Heads South aquatic centre, will host Storytime on Monday 6 February from 11am and Baby Bounce on Friday 10 February at 10am.

The centre is a temporary home for RTRL children's activities during the Tweed Heads Library upgrade, which began this month and is expected to take six to eight months to complete.

Storytime and Baby Bounce are free weekly activities bringing young children, their parents, grandparents and carers together. Storytime is a chance for pre-school aged children to sing songs, listen to story and do craft activities in a group, while Baby Bounce allows babies to enjoy singing, rhymes, music and books with their parents or grandparents.

During each session, a selection of picture books from the library's children's collection will also be available to browse at the Community Centre.

In addition, a small selection from the Junior Fiction collection is available in the temporary library now open at the Tweed Heads auditorium building.

All categories of the Children and Youth Collection are available from the Richmond Tweed Mobile Library, which will stop in Wharf Street next to the library site every second Monday from 10am to 3.30pm. The next visit will be 13 February.

It is among several measures put in place to provide continued services during the Tweed Library expansion.

The Kingscliff and Murwillumbah libraries are providing full services throughout this period and have been particularly busy since the Tweed Library closed its door for the upgrade.

"Between 3 January and 16 January, staff at Kingscliff and Murwillumbah filled 45 boxes with 852 items for return to Tweed Heads," the library upgrade's Program Manager, Fiona Dunbar, said.

"Another 5302 items were returned to the after-hours chutes that have been installed at the temporary Tweed Heads library site.

For further information about the library upgrade and library services, visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Library or the Richmond Tweed Regional Library website, www.rtrl.nsw. gov.au minimizing drug medicine use, and how to make use of effective natural therapies,” Ms. Redsell said.

Dr. Neil Nedley has served thousands of families for more than 15 years through his medical practice and extensive, worldwide lecturing.

He educates students of all ages in nutrition and healthy lifestyle principles through his radio shows, satellite and cable television, and live appearances. Nedley also helped develop the Omega-3 Uplift bar, a tasty way to get more than 3,000 mg of omega-3 in each bar which is specially designed for optimal brain health.

Ponsie & Wade’s story Their romantic beach ceremony looked certain to be a washout. With a summer storm brewing and the sky closing in, the not-so-happy couple scrambled to find a last-minute change of location.

Twin Towns combines location, stylishly appointed event space, elegant decor, panoramic ocean and harbour views, onsite luxury accommodation and multi-awardwinning chefs and events staff.

All these impressive elements combine to create the complete wedding experience.

With their wedding less than an hour away, Wade made a frantic call to Twin Towns. Once the Twin Towns events team heard about the dilemma, they immediately sprang to action to save the day.

By the time the bride and groom arrived at Twin Towns, everything was in place for a stunning ceremony on a balcony overlooking Jack Evans Boat Harbour. There was plenty of room for Ponsie and Wade’s guests to gather undercover.

Whether you’re planning an intimate cocktail party with close friends, a big and bold family banquet or a candlelit formal dinner with lashings of elegance, Twin Towns has the perfect place where you can do just that.

Terms and conditions apply. See website for details. LTPS/16/09255.

Open daily from 10.30am NSW

Sometimes, the best-made wedding plans go awry, as Ponsie and Wade McKell discovered when their big day arrived late last year.

“Couples are also welcome to just attend the Open Day and if they do, they will receive one ticket in the draw,” said Chrissie, adding that the winner must be present at the draw at 2.45pm Qld to claim the prize.

For more information about Twin Towns Wedding Open Day or to book your site inspection, email weddings@twintowns.com.au, phone 1800 015 015 or visit www.twintowns.com.au

As if on cue, just as celebrant Clarah Luxford pronounced them ‘man and wife’, a beautiful big rainbow stretched across the sky over the boat harbour, creating the perfect backdrop for a beautiful wedding.

The sky cleared, everyone was happy, and dry!

After the ceremony, Ponsie and Wade hit the beach nearby for photos with the bridal party.

If you are planning a wedding reception at Twin Towns, talk to the events team about holding your ceremony there too, in the case of inclement weather.

Ponsie & Wade, all smiles on their wedding day.

It happens, and it’s always smart to have Plan B up your sleeve, just in case.

Going round in circles This year, 2017, marks the 60th anniversary of Twin Towns and this ‘February flashback’ is another gem from the collection of archives and manuscripts gathered over the past six decades.

Raffle

The design of a new Twin Towns Club building in the Sixties would stamp its uniqueness indelibly on both its local communities and visitors to the border towns.

Get into Club Banora this week for the all new Wednesday night raffles with meat trays and loads of great prizes to be won.

Tickets are just $1 and go on sale from 4.30pm NSW. Raffles are drawn at 6.30pm NSW , followed by free live entertainment with some of the Coast’s best soloists.

Make a night of it and enjoy dinner at Slice & Fork before the raffles.

It has become almost iconic in the way in which people view the Club’s exterior and not unreasonable to say it has helped shape the Club’s success.

The board and management had been planning extensions since 1963.

Since Twin Towns opened in 1957, membership had grown considerably with profits increasing exponentially, hence the urgent need to extend the premises and facilities.

CLUBNEWS www.twintowns.com.au BOARD CHAIRMAN’S REPORT $1 Bet Limits The latest publicity announcement

by Wesfarmers (Coles) Mr Richard Goyder to basically pressure the industry and manufacturers to change Wesfarmers own gaming machines to accept maximum $1 bets on their 3,069 machines at their 89 hotels, mostly in Queensland, is as absurd as it is ridiculous.

How would shareholders react to the devaluation of their assets and the probability of a downturn in their share value? Why not just sell the asset to maximise returns to shareholders rather than moralise about a sector in which your company operates.

Meanwhile Woolworths have defended its holding of 323 hotel venues and ownership of 11,000 gaming machines so perhaps Wesfarmers may be playing a high stakes game of their own with their competition.

When Senator Xenophon complains about the lack of competition in the supermarket sector, Coles is one of the first to respond that the Senator does not understand their industry.

Many of the hysterical comments from the anti-poker machine lobby are equally unfounded and should be rebuffed through clarification to let the public make their own sensible and informed decisions.

Firstly, you have the right to be entertained and spend your own money on whatever legal pursuit that may involve.

Entertainment has no boundaries,

giving us multiple choices where some may indeed choose gambling, remembering the multitude of gambling choices. Alternatively, others may choose entertainment such as golf, travel, both nationally and internationally, water-skiing, caravanning, racing, attending favourite sporting events, theatre, and the list goes on and on.

Every form of entertainment has a cost but for some strange and unexplainable reason, when you choose gambling as entertainment, the money it costs is said to be “lost”.

I have attended movies and theatre events I wish I could forget and certainly didn’t enjoy but the money to attend was not lost for some reason, it was simply the entrance fee and I took my chances on the outcome.

We recently televised an expensive sporting event which had 500 attendees and lasted just 48 seconds. Entertainment is all a bit of a gamble really.

The argument about potential poker machine “losses” per hour is another myth. Certainly on the surface you may calculate that a machine spin versus bet may potentially account for losses of $1,200 an hour in some cases but as machine entertainment evolves, we are seeing far higher returns to players for longer with more exciting features and wins with new and exciting jackpots and triggers.

What are you doing today?

Twin Towns has a range of sporting and social clubs Join today, get out and about, exercise, make new friends or try something new and exciting.

• Ladies Bowls • Mens Bowls • Golf • Twin Towns Banora Social Golf • Diggers Swimming • Masters Swimming • Euchre & 500

• Bridge • Fishing • Garden • Seniors Social • Snooker • Tennis • Runners & Walkers • Triathlon

Interestingly laws prevent the club from advertising the return of individual machines because for some reason, players might be confused by it. Combine this and include the 1c option which is available on most of the new technologies, these “on the surface figures” represent inaccurate outcomes generally.

I should point out that figures our media and politicians are quick to release by the Office of Liquor and Gaming are often gross revenue statistics and don’t take into account the average 92% return to players that would present a much different but true gaming net revenue analysis.

The same group often use the inflammatory chide that poker machines are the “crack cocaine of gambling”, a mantra that can only be an attempt to link poker machines to something which is illegal, which of course they are not. The public has shown politically it is tired of slogans like this and being taken for too silly to make their own decisions.

Poker machines are also a unique proposition in terms of the ever increasing costs of business.

When companies, like Coles, incur an increase in costs they pass it on to the consumer through higher prices. But the cost of playing poker machines doesn’t go up because it can’t. You decide how much you want to pay, if you want to play at all, not the manufacturers or the operators.

chances of winning are exactly the same if you bet one cent as they are for any larger bet.

For existing games to be converted to $1 maximum bet, machine manufacturers would have to redesign every aspect of gaming machines including the math and pay table, the rules, the graphics, the coding and programming, the linked Jackpots and standalone progressive jackpots. In the end, the player would have a game that is less exciting and have a much lower return to player percentage, while substantial wins would be less achievable.

The draw towards online gambling, sports betting and other open bet limit games would simply replace the traditional current player environment. An alternate bet limit is only one click away on the internet despite any moves to limit the already highly regulated land-based machines.

Twin Towns has a game library of over 800 machines and 400 titles alone. The expert industry advice is the cost to convert all machines nationally would be in excess of $3 billion dollars.

So for Coles to complain about manufactures not wishing to address the request for 3,000 $1 maximum bet machines for a private trial then it’s no wonder manufacturers suggested Coles should play somewhere else.

In reality, limiting stake amounts per spin is already in practice on every machine and currently is simply the responsibility of the adult playing the machine.

Not only would $1 bets have devastating consequences for the industry and local communities should this ideology expand, but it’s a proposition that brands everyone as problem gamblers and mandates individuals on how they can or cannot spend their own money.

With the increasing change toward multi-denominational machines, players have complete discretion on the amount they wish to bet on each spin, ranging from as low as 1c, up to $10 if that suits. Your

Imagine forcing the TAB to introduce $1 maximum bets on all races? They have live races every 30 seconds throughout Australia on busy days, with no maximum bet limit, so how would the punters feel?

Should $1 maximum bet limits ever be a mandatory requirement of government, our Not for Profit Community Club Industry would not survive as we know it, nor would the world class facilities providing social interaction including sporting facilities, the financial community support clubs provide, and the employment, both direct and indirect, that exists as an outcome.

Regional clubs throughout the country are the absolute hub for everything entertainment and $1 bet limits would most likely result in their total demise. You may suggest this outcome is not feasible but let’s hope we don’t have to experience this change in dynamics to find out.

So, as a form of entertainment some may choose poker machines.

Add Twin Towns Clubs and Resorts’ World-class facilities, food and beverage availability, general musical entertainment including that amazing social interaction at all facilities and it’s no wonder members choose to have a recreational flutter in fabulous surroundings, remembering they must take responsibility and care for their actions and only spend that which they can afford.

Twin Towns Clubs and Resorts is a Premium Club Safe partner which means we are part of an awardwinning responsible gaming program aimed at assisting those adults who may have a gambling problem. The number of people with a problem has fallen over the years to a new low of .04% of the population.

Should you have a problem, talk to staff for assistance. We like to think of ourselves as a family club.

Have a happy, healthy and prosperous year ahead and I look forward to catching up around our clubs.

Going round in cirlcles Continued from page 1

and Winders “may not buy it”.

Out of the blue, the Tweed Shire Council offered Twin Towns freehold title to reclaimed land in front of the existing building for £20,000; an offer too good to refuse.

Trotter was wrong. Winders immediately saw the many advantages and convinced his board that the circular shape would not only give the club a distinctive character; it was also one of the most functional designs he had ever seen.

It was Stephen Trotter’s progressive and innovative attitude towards architecture and design that drew the board to appoint Gilmour Trotter and Partners to design their new Club.

Without Trotter’s input, Twin Towns may never have become the circular-shaped border landmark it is today.

In the early days of the Club’s design, after rejection by the board of rectangular shaped designs, Trotter began by drawing a series of circles, each circle bisecting the other, a foot in diameter with intersection points on their circumferences.

Trotter expanded on his unusual idea. Excited, he called President Mick Winders to arrange a meeting. When Winders arrived at the Brisbane office, before revealing the new designs, Trotter warned they were “revolutionary”

Trotter admitted that some of the committee (at Twin Towns) thought it was going to fall down.

“Looking at it, it seemed to defy gravity. The board made me stand under the thing as they cut the last piece of steel. If it was going to fall down, it was going to kill Steve!

“So I stood bravely. But I moved, a little bit, so if it came down it would miss me on both sides.

“When I stand back and look at it – I’ve always been happy about Twin Towns,” recalled Trotter, when interviewed in 2011 about his role in the design.

The final building consisted of four interlocking circles, which Trotter saw as comfortable as no member was forced into corners.

When the new building opened

Ph: 07 5536 2277

in 1968, it was a profound moment for the Club, though the importance of the design is unlikely to have been understood, despite Winders’ vision, until many years later.

Had Winders and his committee not been enterprising and liberal in their thinking to see the merit in Trotter’s radical design, Twin Towns might have lacked its now renowned uniqueness and certainly its identity.

Footnote: In 1999, Stephen Trotter retired from practice and in 2012, was awarded a Life Fellowship by the Institute for his five decades of contribution to Australian architecture. He passed away aged 84 on 30 July 2015.

As well as Twin Towns, Trotter designed some of Queensland’s most iconic and enduring buildings, including International House and Schonell Theatre at the University of Queensland and Tower Mill Hotel. Trotter also designed Twin Towns sister club, Club Banora. Trotter’s legacy carries on through his sons, Mark and Paul Trotter, who are current directors of Fulton Trotter.

Tony Pantano & The Dukes entertain at Club Banora.

on the same morning with the Executive reports and welcoming the 2017/2018 committee.

Thank you to all committee members that have shaped the Club especially Doug Neill for his tireless dedication and support of triathlon over many years.

Good luck also to members striving for the point score championship with the last point score on 12 March. With only six weeks until the Club Championships, we will see many in top condition and race ready for 19 March. Presentation night follows, culminating in recognition of major award winners.

MEN’S BOWLS Bowls resumed after the Christmas break and thanks to members for your patience while the greens were being renovated. A lot of work has been put into bringing the greens up to standard and has taken longer than anticipated so the Club Championships will be delayed for some time.

The Committee will keep you informed as to when they will take place. The Annual General Meeting will be held on the 14 March and nomination forms for committee are available from the Secretary. Remember the club does not run itself. So, how about joining in the running of YOUR CLUB. Social membership is now available to those members who no longer bowl but would still like to be part of the club.

Membership only $15 per year.

Our membership is down to 121, having lost some members to sickness and others for personal reasons and with 100 members over the age of 80, we accept these facts. Looking forward to seeing you on the green.

years young and is very fortunate to live opposite the pool. A GREAT swimmer over many years who has won both WORLD and International GOLD medals.

Christmas has come and gone but must mention our final party at the pool was great! The ‘usual’ President versus the Captains relay was won by the President’s swimmers by a HAND!! It is also that time of year to thank many of our ‘helpers’, in particular Janet and Little Betty’ for their kitchen duties last year. Janet making many trips to Aldi, keeping us in milk, coffee and biscuits and those remaining to clean up. A great club all working together with plenty of laughter. Come join us!

DIGGERS SWIMMING Our club treasurer Virginia Rijavec is usually on her toes but an operation on three of them has kept her out of the water for many weeks. Not to be de-feeted, she has been timekeeping instead.

February sees us hosting many other clubs as it is our turn to conduct the inter-zone carnival.

We are fortunate to have Bert and Sue Deegenaars and Kim Hawthorne working hard to produce a good event. We would like all members to consider attending this meet on 11 February to either swim or help in any way. This will be a good warm-up for the Nationals to be held in Grafton on 18 March. Our last competitive swim for the summer season point score will be on 26 March.

Lastly, a warm welcome to the latest swimmer to join our ranks, Pam Layt.

Work is ongoing to poison the couch grass that, in summer, tries to invade the greens. The computer is being used to reduce card checking for regular team events such as 4 Ball and Ambrose competitions and individual hole by hole scores are to be entered at the touch screens. The Golf Section AGM will be held on 18 March at 2pm in the Island House. A pre-meeting shotgun start fee-free mixed competition is offered to members with Men’s and Ladies prizes. The field will be at the course limit of 78 players and filled first-comefirst-served. The booking sheet is open later this month.

GARDEN January is the time for a second pruning for euphorbias such as the snow flake and poinsettia shrubs. After the hard cut back in spring, cut a third off the new growth and the plant will produce more flowers and last longer in their flowering season. It’s not too late. February gardens are looking colourful and bring their owners great pleasure and indeed to people driving by. Diary quote by Robin Lane Fox says it all: “Do owners imprint themselves on their gardens? In their lifetimes, of course they do, as gardening is an art and gardeners are artists who express themselves by what they space and plant.” Bob Brown from Scotts will be the guest speaker this month on the subject of Water-Wise Gardens.

Join our meeting on 7 February at 9.45am. Visitors and new members welcome. Enquiries – Maria on 5524 8234.

FISHING Members are out in force on the Tweed River and large whiting are being caught further up on worms and yabbies. There are several reports of good sized Tarwhine off the Tweed wall and plenty of large, full-sized mud crabs in the upper reaches. There are plenty of whiting, dart and bream being

caught off Kingscliff Beach. The Fishing Club is arranging some ‘teach me how to catch fish’ sessions this month and the 2017 Fishing Club Comp will resume on 4 and 5 February. Just a reminder that we have THREE boats FREE AND AVAILABLE for fishing and crabbing to members of our Fishing Club.

The Fishing Club AGM will be held on Friday 3 March at 6.30pm NSW at Twin Towns Juniors and all new and current members are welcome to attend. Nominations forms for the 2017 Fishing Club Committee have been emailed out and must be in lodged in writing with Club Secretary Russell at least 31 days prior to the AGM.

Bigger than Ben Young love tries to impress, heroes stand accused, the mighty fall and the vanquished dream of greatness in a slate of films which come to Twin Towns this month.

Ben-Hur – not the Charlton Heston classic but last year’s highly anticipated remake for a new generation of movie goers – revisits the swords and sandals epic complete with thrilling chariot races and Jack Huston (American Hustle) in the role made famous by Heston.

Russian Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch, Wanted) directs a young cast that features Toby

Kebbell (Kong Skull Island) and Rodrigo Santoro (Westworld).

Sing Street follows the romantic adventures of a Dublin teen growing up in the 1980s. He escapes strained family life by starting a band to impress a girl. Writer director John Carney (Once) and his cast of young up and comers delight with a comingof-age tale that comes complete with soundtrack featuring songs by the Clash, The Cure, A-Ha, Duran Duran, Genesis, The Jam and Spandau Ballet.

David Brent: Life on the Road is the mockumentary sequel to

TV’s black comedy hit The Office with Ricky Gervais’ sacked office manager Brent joined by a TV crew on his round as travelling sanitary products salesman who still harbours dreams of greatness, revealing plans to take his band on the road.

Sully is a dramatisation of the event world media called The Miracle on the Hudson. On 15 January 2009, US pilot Chesley Sullenberger was described as a hero after landing his damaged plane on the Hudson River, saving passengers and crew.

The investigation that followed almost ruined his career. Clint Eastwood directs.

6 FEBRUARY – BEN HUR (M) Remake of the classic stars Jack Huston, Toby Kebell and Rodrigo Santoro.

13 FEBRUARY – SING STREET (M) Romantic comedy stars Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, Aidan Gillen and Maria Doyle Kennedy.

20 FEBRUARY – DAVID BRENT: LIFE ON THE ROAD (M) Black comedy stars Ricky Gervais, Rob Jarvis and Abbie Murphy.

One word from the Baby Animals One Word, the signature power ballad that cemented Baby Animals place in Australian rock history might never have been released had frontwoman Suze DeMarchi had her way.

“One Word was my least favourite song on the album and I begged the label to

not even put it on,’’ said DeMarchi, her recollections reported on the band’s official website.

“I remember (guitarist) Dave (Leslie) was recording the intro guitar part, how frustrated he was but he played it ‘til his fingers bled and it really made the

whole track come alive.

“Now I love looking over at Dave’s face whenever we start this song and have a private giggle in memory of that day and I’m grateful that, once again, the label didn’t listen to me. It went on to become one of the most memorable and successful BA tracks ever and I love playing it.”

DeMarchi and Leslie were founding members of the rock act that emerged from Perth in the late 1980s, joined by Frank Celenza on drums and Eddie Parise on bass guitar and backup vocals.

Self-titled debut album Baby Animals was released in 1991, peaking at No. 1 on the ARIA charts.

One Word, a pop power ballad with a catchy hook, was the fourth single released from the album.

The band followed up with a second studio album Shaved and Dangerous (1993), won awards and toured with Van Halen before disbanding in 1996. DeMarchi, living in Boston, pursued a solo career.

Band members reunited in 2007 to release an album featuring acoustic versions of BA hits.

Two years later, Celenza had been replaced by Mick Skelton; Parise by Matt Cornell, who has since been replaced by Dario Bortolin.

The band released Email, its first new single in 20 years in April 2013 followed by an album called This Is Not The End (2013).

DeMarchi and friends followed up with last year’s 25th anniversary rerelease of its debut album BA25, featuring expanded versions of live songs, unreleased tracks, B-sides and pre-studio demos. They are currently touring pubs and clubs to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of One Word.

See Baby Animals perform at the Twin Towns Showroom on Saturday, 18 March.

Shock death of James Tate saddens community

Local News 33

Neuroblastoma Awareness Day for children’s cancer

Image GoFundMe: visit https://www.gofundme. com/help-for-james-tate

THE SHOCKING and tragic death of James Tate on Friday, January 24, after he suffered a mysterious cardiac arrest on Tuesday, January 21.

James’ sister Pamala Kill has setup a GoFundMe page for his wife and young daughter Bec and Lillie, which is close to $40,000 with a target of $50,000.

“On January 21 James, Bec and Lillie (pictured below) were at home enjoying being a beautiful family, when James suffered a sudden cardiac arrest,” Mrs Kill wrote.

“Bec saved James' life by giving him CPR for around 25 minutes until the help of paramedics arrived.

“Paramedics have defibrillated James' heart before he was transported to Tweed Heads Hospital in a serious condition and was later transferred to John Flynn Intensive Care Unit for treatment.”

James was put in an induced coma to allow him to recover and heal and it was unknown what caused the healthy 31-year-old to have the sudden heart attack.

The family were holding on for James to make a slow recovery until the shocking news of his passing came on Friday, January 24.

“It is with complete devastation and sadness that I post this

update: Our beautiful James passed away on Friday, January 27,” Mrs Kill said.

“He fought so hard to hang on for five days and gave everyone the chance to say their goodbyes.

“You will forever be in all our hearts, we are all better people for knowing you.

“We would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for all the wonderful and generous donations received to date.

“Please keep them coming in and keep up the sharing on Facebook to support his amazing wife Beck and beautiful daughter Lillie.”

James’ death is a massive shock to the Tweed Coast community as he was heavily involved in the local community, volunteering as a lifesaver on the Tweed Coast and a member of the Cabarita Boardriders.

James’ funeral will be held on (today) Thursday, February 2, and the surfing and lifesaving community will come together with a paddle out at 8am on Saturday, February 4 at Hastings Point headland to honour their mate.

NEUROBLASTOMA AWARENESS Day (Thursday, January 2) is a day that aims to highlight the facts and challenges surrounding the rare children’s cancer, neuroblastoma – the number one cause of cancer deaths in children under five years of age.

Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumour of childhood arising from particular nerve cells which run in a chain-like fashion up the child’s abdomen and chest and into the skull following the line of the spinal cord. The most common site for the tumour to grow is in the abdomen.

The average age of children being diagnosed with neuroblastoma is just two years of age and children with aggressive forms of the cancer only have a 50 per cent chance of beating the disease. In addition to overall poor success rates, a third of the children who do survive will have long term side effects from their treatments.

Since inception, Neuroblastoma Australia, (a charity committed to finding more effective and less harmful treatments for neuroblastoma patients) has raised over $1.4 million for research into the disease, but further funding is needed to continue this research to help improve the lives of, and outcomes for neuroblastoma patients.

Lucy Jones, Co-founder and Chief Executive of Neuroblastoma Australia, is exceptionally passionate about raising more awareness about neuroblastoma and funds to help support research into the harrowing disease that took the life of her beautiful daughter, Sienna at only two and a half years of age.

“Families with children diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a relatively unknown and underfunded children’s cancer, have a great deal of difficult challenges to face along their journey,” Lucy said.

“These children often have to endure relentless toxic treatments to help save them – and even if successful, a third of those children who do survive will have long term side effects from the toxicity of the treatment.

“As childhood cancer is rare, it is difficult to secure funding for research and drugs needed for treatment can sometimes be in short supply – as is the case currently with a particular anti-body that is usually part of standard treatment.

“Most people would think that children automatically come first in terms of treatment and research, but unfortunately this is not the case. We really need the community’s support to help change this and give children with neuroblastoma the best possible opportunity to beat their disease.”

erceptions, emotions, thoughts, feelings, connections and contacts. Our personal thoughts and public behaviours. The way we express ourselves. The degree to which we use our potential and how we live up to expectations. The thoughts, behaviours, expectations and actions of our acquaintances, friends, family, groups and societies. All these influences affect us and represent us.

Man-made environments such as buildings, suburbs, cities, industrial complexes and, ever increasingly, food. Social constructs such as legal, economic and political systems. We respond, we act and we react. We feel and express.

The quality, frequency and intensity of these influences ‘blesses’ or ‘infects’ us, creating alternating states that have a profound effect on how we ‘feel’. They can and often do produce symptoms that end up with a trip to the doctor.

Nationally, the cost of their effect on our health and quality of life hugely outweighs the cost and social impact of germs and viruses.

Improving the quality of those influences and their interactions within you improves both your health and your quality of life. To do this, you need to know what the influences are and how, when and where to act.

FILMS with Mia LION

A major Australian film is coming to town. Starring Dev Patel (of Slumdog Millionaire fame) and our own Nicole Kidman, in harrowing performances that won them accolades at the AACTA Awards, Lion is based on Saroo Brierley’s autobiography A Long Way Home and tells a tragic but uplifting story.

Saroo, born in India in the early 1980s, at the tender age of five years is already looking for work with his older brother but falls asleep on a train that takes him to Calcutta, 1500km away from home. Completely lost and unable to identify himself in a place where people speak Bengali and not his native Hindi, Saroo struggles to survive as a street child until he is sent to an orphanage and eventually adopted by an Australian family.

His quest does not affect the relationship with his adoptive parents: and in fact, at the end of the movie, photos of the real Australian family are shown alongside a video of the actual Saroo and Sue meeting Saroo’s biological mother in India.

Saroo later learned that he mispronounced his own name throughout his life; it is actually Sheru, which is Hindi for “Lion.”

76392

Despite the love and devotion of the adoptive parents Sue and John, as an adult he finds himself increasingly obsessed with a quest for identity and by the desire to reconnect with his family in India and let them know that he is alive. He has no idea where his birth village is, but internet technology comes to his aid: Google Earth and his own memory of childhood in India help him trace his steps of twenty five years before.

Kangaroo Moon makes special visit to Tweed

HI ALL, welcome to local sounds. We have a very special band coming to Murwillumbah next week called Kangaroo Moon.

On a surprise visit from the UK, Kangaroo Moon weave many strands from world, rock, folk and dance, with acoustic and electronic influences into a funky, psychedelic, heartlifting wall of sound. Trancey, richly melodic and dancey.

Listeners experience a sound which unites the body and soul in deep, joyful psychedelia and elemental dance.

Their stellar line-up includes Mark Robson on didgeridoo, tin whistle, piano and soaring vocals; Maurice Cernigoi on the funkiest bass around and Matt Ledgar (Wild Marmalade) on unstoppable, ferocious drums and percussion.

I interviewed Mark Robson lead singer of Kangaroo Moon Q. When did the band form?

A. The band formed in 1986, we started in Bellingen and moved to Byron Bay region. After a few years we started to tour regularly over to Europe and then every European summer, then eventually we relocated to England which is where we’ve been ever since. I’ve come over here to escape the English winter and I also have lots of family here. The band has been going so long that I have an English line up of musicians and an Australian division of Kangaroo Moon.

Q. How often do you come and tour in Australia A. Not enough. The last time we did a tour was 3 years ago, we used to come over for Milany Woodford festival. But now, it seems every three years or so.

Q. Does your band have a fan base?

A. Yes in this region particularly, there’s a great fan base.

There are always a lot of people that remember us, and are excited that we have come back. Back in the days when we lived here in the 80s and 90s we were quite trailblazing and there were less bands in those days we filled a niche that

belonged to us and no one else, we have a particular sound that no other band seemed to do quite the same thing.

Q. What gigs have you got coming up in the region?

Hilarious comedy duo coming to Murwillumbah Tweed Ball Series returns to get someone with Ellen’s talent and ability up on the stage, it was well worth it,” Mandy said.

“I’d hate to think what would have become of her if she hadn’t found her feet as a comedian. She just had too many stories to waste on her Labrador.

“It’s a real privilege to share the stage with someone who is just getting better and better with every show. She’s a knock out.”

“We want to make you laugh, but most of all we want you to go home feeling good about yourself. Women spend too much time not liking themselves, beating themselves up for being too old, too fat, a bad parent, a terrible cook, but we just say, hey, it’s what makes us human! Celebrate your imperfection.”

Women Like Us, at the Regent Theatre in Murwillumbah, Saturday, March 4, 2017 at 8pm. Doors open at 7.30pm.

Tickets $30/$28.

GET READY to dust off your dancing shoes for the Tweed Ball Series which is coming to a hall near you.

The Tweed Ball Series is celebrating its 46th year and is run by the Tweed Combined Country Halls Association, a voluntary group that is not-for–profit.

The evenings are planned to have something for the whole family and are an alcohol free event. The dances are mainly old time with a few new vogue, a short set of rock ‘n’ roll, and some old favourite line dances.

The dress code is semi-formal, but many of the girls go formal.

Guests may participate in the title dance which is a Pride of Erin, or choose to just watch. After the titles dance there is a supper break provided by the local hall and included in the admission price.

Music is provided by the band Trilogy. The evenings start at 8pm and tickets are available at the door.

COMEDIANS AND good friends Mandy Nolan and Ellen Briggs are bringing their smash hit comedy show ‘Women Like Us’ to the Regent Theatre on Saturday, March 4.

Their two hour show takes a hilarious look at the lives and experiences of everyday women.

Both Mandy and Ellen found that women often don’t see their lives or their experiences reflected on the stage as the comedians in the spotlight tend to be men and they tend to talk about bloke stuff.

When coming up with a show title, Women Like Us just turned up.

“They’re Women Like Us,” said Mandy.

“Our audiences love our shows because our lives are like theirs. We’re not rarefied trophy wives. We’re capable overworked, overwhelmed and totally over it women! And because of sharing stories like that women like us.”

Ellen and Mandy talk about housework, chickens, love, big undies, disappointment, resentment, sex when you’re drunk, fit bits, yoga farts and being a menopausal woman dealing with teenage angst.

Audiences have left the show with aching stomach muscles, sore jaws, and a woman even injured herself when she laughed so much she slipped from her chair onto the floor.

For Mandy Nolan, finding a comedy soul mate has been a godsend. The two friends decided they should hit the road when they realised they have a lot in common and also enjoyed spending time together.

“It’s a lonely life being a comic. You perform on the stage to adoring appreciative crowds, but most of the time you’re in a transit lounge, or in the car, or sitting out back behind a pot plant until show time. Having someone along for the ride is just fantastic,” Mandy said.

Ellen Briggs never intended to be a comedian. She just wanted to write a book. That’s why just over a decade ago she enrolled in Mandy’s stand-up comedy class.

“If the sole purpose of teaching over 1,000 people was just

SEVERAL POTTSVILLE residents are circulating printed signs stating “We say YES! To a Men’s Shed at Black Rocks” in a bid to bring an end to months of limbo for the local club.

Pottsville & District Men’s Shed has been in discussions with Tweed Shire Council to find a permanent shed site for the club.

Although the previous Council had moved forward with Black Rock Sports Field as the preferred option, the more recently elected Council has delayed development of the site pending Councillors workshops.

Several Pottsville residents are using social media to encourage others to purchase the sign for their wheelie bins or to put them on display outside their homes.

Tweed Shire Council had asked that another large sign on public property around Pottsville to be taken down.

Printing and sign business Give Me A Sign posted on social media that it was proud to

support the Pottsville & District Men’s Shed in their bid to relocate to Black Rocks.

“We have donated a heap of signs to the Men’s Shed following a complaint to council about them having a trailer with signage on the common green in Pottsville (council property),” the post reads.

“Hopefully locals and businesses will support the Men’s Shed by displaying signs on their own property.”

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you think Councillors should give the Men’s Shed a greenlight at Black Rocks or should another site be used? Send your thoughts and letters to edtior@ theweekly.net.au 76040

Real Estate

Wendy Cambridge from First National Murwillumbah is your Agent of the Week My name is Wendy Cambridge and I would like ot share with you my story.

I have lived in the beautiful Tweed Valley from the young age of four.

Growing up on a cane farm at North Tumbulgum was a great childhood experience with many happy memories.

I went to Tumbulgum Primary School and high school in Murwillumbah.

I have lived in the Murwillumbah township since 1979 and have an excellent knowledge of everything about Murwillumbah and the Tweed Valley.

Having built and sold 12 of my own homes in Murwillumbah over the past 30 years,

property is a real passion of mine having worked in the industry since 2005.

However, Real Estate is a service industry and I have very high expectations of what level of service I expect, so I strive to give a six-star level of service to all my cleints.

I have received numerous awards for outstanding sales results and high level of customer service within the real estate and banking industries and I firmly believe that communications is key to success.

I see my role as an agent to primarily facilitate the process in the most professional, honest and ethical way, to ensure that my clients get the outcome they want whether

they’re buying or selling.

Having worked hard in the Murwillumbah real estate industry for so many years, I have overseen hundreds of property transactions in and around Murwillumbah and bring this wealth of knowledge and experience to my clients.

I feel with my open and friendly nature and my outstanding results in real estate sales, I will exceed your expectations.

To meet with Wendy and discuss your next sale or purchase phone: 0428 722 088 – or visit First National Murwillumbah at 64 Main Street, Murwillumbah

Wendy at First National is ready to help with your next dream home or sale.

Tweed real estate among best in the country THE TWEED property market continues to strengthen whilst profits from sales are reducing nationwide and in neighbouring regional markets.

The Pain and Gain Report released by CoreLogic this week is an in-depth analysis of residential properties which were resold over the September 2016 quarter.

The most recent sale price is compared to the previous sale price in order to determine whether the property sold at a gross profit (gain) or gross loss (pain).

The report provides an estimate of how long a property needs to be held before it makes a profit.

According to the report, throughout Australia houses that resold at a loss were held for 6.1 years and units for 6.5 years.

To make a profit on a house the typical length of ownership is 9.1 years and units is 7.6 years.

The average profit on a resale nationwide was $262,672 while the average loss was $71,529.

“These latest results highlight that ownership of property, whether for investment or owner occupier purposes, should be seen as a long-term investment,” said Cameron Kusher, Corelogic RP Data’s senior research analyst.

Within regional NSW 5.6 per cent of houses and 10.6 per cent of units made a loss in the September quarter.

Regional NSW had the lowest number of house sales making a loss compared to regional areas in other states with 7.8 per cent at a loss in regional Victoria, 16.8 per cent in regional Queensland, 18.4 per cent in regional SA and 29.9 per cent in regional WA. Units also performed well compared to other regional areas with Victoria slightly better at 10.2 per cent of unit sales making a loss, 22.3 per cent in regional Queensland, 24.6 per cent in regional SA and a massive 48.9 per cent regional WA. The regional average nationwide for loss making sales was 11.7 per cent of houses and 18.4 per cent of units.

“In most instances, houses virtually always show a lower

proportion of loss-making resales than units,” said Mr Kushner.

“The likely reason for this is that the value of a house is largely derived from the land and its location. Also, typically houses have increased in value at a faster rate than units.”

The average hold period of properties that made a loss in regional NSW was 6.3 years for houses with only regional NT having a shorter hold period of 5.8 years to make a loss whilst the regional average was 6.6 years.

Units did not perform as well with an average hold of 7.8 years in loss making sales with only regional Queensland units a having longer average hold period at 8.4 years.

Regional house sales in NSW had an average hold period of 8.9 years to make a profit with regional NT (7.8 years) and regional Victoria (8.8 years) having shorter hold periods for profit making house sales whilst the regional average was 9.3 years.

Regional NSW performed the best in the country for profit making unit sales at 7.4 years compared to a regional average of 8.3 years.

Only regional NT had a shorter hold period of 5.8 years for houses and regional average of 6.6.

Only regional Qld had a longer average hold period for units at 8.4 years.

The average hold period of profit making sales in regional NSW was 8.9 years for houses and 7.4 for units.

Regional NT (7.8 years) and regional Vic (8.8 years) had shorter hold periods and the regional average was 9.3 years.

No state had a shorter hold period for profit making sales and the average was 8.3 years.

High demand for Tweed Coast property:

Richmond-Tweed was one of only two major coastal regions that recorded a reduction in the number of homes selling at a loss, with the other region being Geelong.

According to the report, “Coastal lifestyle markets are

seeing growing popularity, growth in values and in-turn are seeing fewer properties resell for less than their original purchase price.”

The river has been producing very patchy results. A few decent sized Tailor being weighed in, mainly being caught on White Pilchards which are currently unavailable. Small Pilchards or Frogmouths are good alternatives.

Good Whiting have been caught, especially near the river mouth – it’s been a great season for them. Live beach worms or poppers have been most successful; mainly clear poppers with red touches.

Mangrove Jacks are plentiful around the bridges and jetties from Murwillumbah to the estuary. Bass in the upper reaches.

Better catches offshore this week with the Nine Mile producing Mackerel, Wahoo and Yellowfin.

The 36s area has been good for Kingfish and some Squire and further out good reports of Marlin and Dolphinfish.

Abu Garcia Black Max reels are on special at Tweed Tackle & Marine and have been getting rave reviews – internationally as well as in the Tweed!

Sand dune party shut down at Pottsville

TWEED POLICE shut down a “doof” party with more 150 youths drinking booze and music tent setup on sand dunes near Cudgera Avenue on Saturday, January 28.

Police said it was 11pm when they received information that the Party was being held on the sand dunes at Tweed Coast Road, Pottsville, about 300 metres north of Cudgera Ave. Police said a shade tent, complete with disco lights, speakers and music, had been setup and there were about 100-150 youths drinking alcohol throughout the dunes.

“A large number of these youths were intoxicated and as a result were putting their lives at risk. Some of these youths were not in control of their faculties and were stumbling on the dark roadway,” a police statement said.

Police closed the party down and spent considerable time ensuring the youths were dispersed safely.

Police said the matter was now being investigated and “action will be taken against the organisers”.

“We remind parents to be vigilant regarding their teenager’s whereabouts, alcohol and drug consumption. These parties are unsupervised and not a safe environment for youth,” the statement reads.

He was charged with the two outstanding arrest warrants and additional drug related offences, for which his bail refused by police. He will appear at Tweed Heads Local Court on January 31.

Acting Commander of the State’s Traffic and Highway Patrol, Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy said the message that speeding kills is not getting through.

“I cannot believe the sheer idiocy I have seen on our roads during this operation.

“Throughout Operation Safe Return we caught more people speeding in every region across the state than last year.

“It’s quite simple, people are dying because they are speeding.

Speed is still the biggest killer on our roads, contributing to about 40% of fatal crashes “We will continue to take people off the roads who can’t stay within the speed limit. If people can’t learn to slow down, the unfortunate reality is that hundreds more people will die this year on our roads,” Assistant Commissioner Corboy said.

Throughout the entirety of Operation Safe Arrival: - 5780 infringements were issued for speeding, - 8353 other infringements were issued, - 302 people were charged with drink-driving, - 395 major crashes have been reported, resulting in 140 people injured, and - 4 people died.

Bowls Notes

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

with Judy Tuckey

Australia Day a combination of awards, achievement, flight hazards and frivolity LAST WEEK’S Australia Day celebrations around the greens were loaded with fun and frivolity that ensured a super day out for all. Up at Cudgen Leagues B.C. their day kicked off with a BBQ breakfast washed down with the odd ‘heart starter’ nip or two to set the pace for a grand game of triples. Dress code went out the window with some definitely unprofessional outfits on show.

With umbrella hats being worn for protection against the elements, concern was raised that a puff of wind could possibly bring about flight hazards for North bound planes heading into Coolangatta.

However, the girls had their feet firmly planted on the terra firma.

Meanwhile down at Pottsville B.C., with members also indulging in a fun day, their annual Aussie Day “Skirts and Shirts” competition was on the agenda. Serious business, this event!!

The ladies were all out the prove that last year’s triumph over the men was, indeed, no fluke! President Coral rallied her troops to do battle with President Rob’s men and, again, dominated out on the greens to win the Shield for the second year in a row AND with a very comfortable margin.

Well done, girls On a more serious note, Australia Day Achievement Awards and fund raising was also on the programme.

Pat Bryant was presented with the ladies Achievement Award and Richard Grob received the Clubman of the Year Award. The Pottsville

branch of the Tweed Coast Rural Fire Brigade was on the receiving end of a $800+ donation raised from green fees, raffles, etc. Super cooks Narelle Tait collected the Champion Damper prize and Nancye Gleeson took out top honours with her fab Anzac Biscuits.

Many thanks go to Debra Goyen and her team from the Lions Tweed Coast South Club who cooked up a ginormous Sausage Sizzle lunch for all to enjoy.

SPECIAL DIARY DATE: Condong B.C. is conducting a FUNdraiser Bowls Day 19 February in support of Wedgetail Retreat. A super programme of activities and entertainment on the agenda promises a great day out for all the family.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

the Telstra Stores Tweed Coast Pro, and the action continues today finishing up on Sunday. Our Tweed Coast locals will be taking on surfers from all around the world, and if last weeks Burleigh Pro was anything to go by, the Tweed breed will give a great showing.

Quinn Bruce was going well until stopped in the semifinals by eventually winner, sometimes Palm Beach, sometime Indonesian surfer Oney Anwar. It was a very close heat with Anwar only getting the nod in the final seconds.

A host of Tweed Coast Rippers will be taking part, including Kingcliff surfer, Mitch James, and Coolangatta Tweed guns, Mitch Parkinson, Nick Vasicek, Brent Dorrington, Mitch Crews and Jagger Bartholomew.

They will be hoping to do their best against the travelling Australian’s and internationals on their home patch.

The women’s field is a hot one too, with local gals Sophia Fulton, Alyssa Lock, Piper Harrison, Elle Jean Coffey, and of course Pottsville ripper Brittani Nichol out to get rating points and the cash.

Competition starts from 8am each morning through until Sunday afternoon, so get down and check out the action!

Aloha!!

Well folks I will be emailing the next few weeks column’s from the North Shore of Hawaii, a bit of a holiday for me, and I am just a little bit amping. The Volcom Pipe Pro waiting period is underway at the moment, but swells and winds have been big and ugly. The last 4 days of the waiting period I will get to check it from the sand at Pipeline. I have the 7’6” almost packed and looking forward to having a crack at Sunset and some of the other classic breaks.

Aloha and I’ll catch you in the waves!!

Highlights included the delivery of rescue equipment, much of it donated by Tweed Surf Clubs which is now distributed to lifeguards in 5 provinces. Junior Life Saving was a focus of the 2016 year and nippers continued at Danang and Nha Trang and a new nippers was begun in Hoi An and going well.

WICKET TO WICKET Hooker League Update

In the local derby Cudgen 3/149 are in the box set over fellow Tweed Coast side Pottsville 107. Despite Jayden Hoare scoring 45 the Pelicans were bowled out for a below par score of 107 at Reg Dalton Kingscliff. The Hornets were well served by veteran Anthony Kershler 4/13 with good contributions from fast bowlers Mick Anderson 2/17 and James Julius 2/28.

Perennial performer Caleb Ziebell remains unbeaten on 72 after a good contribution from Tait Burns 52. The Pelicans are on the back foot but can only look for some inspiration from their last ditch tie against Marist Brothers in the previous game.
