Power Independence with Solar Batteries

Over half of all Australian homes will have batteries for energy storage in the next ten years... The new trend in solar power is to include battery storage and generate enough power for day and night use. With energy prices rising by 17% or more on the 1st of July, the intelligent option is to vote with your feet and begin to take control of your own power production with investment in the latest solar energy revolution.

Australia is way behind the world in the development of cheap, renewable energy with the coal and gas lobby blocking any new clean energy development. This is making Australian power costs among the highest in the world, leaving household to fend for themselves using solar power to offset rising electricity costs.

24 Hour Solar Power

With Feed in Tariffs now ridiculously low, there is no point left in sharing solar power with the grid. At 6 cents per kWh it is not equitable to export power when you have to buy your energy back later at 30 cents. Solar Power Battery Storage is the best way to beat the unfair electricity network and create energy independence today. 888 Solar Tek, a local solar company based in the Northern Rivers, is providing revolutionary new technology that slashes the cost of battery storage, providing 24 hour solar power to homes. With custom designs based on your energy use, they maximise the benefits of your investment and deliver a cost effective solution for your power needs. They offer a free energy assessment and are delivering hybrid and off-grid power systems that are much cheaper than buying from the grid.

888

The End of Support for Solar NSW Solar Bonus Ends This Year!

Government subsidies for solar export to the grid will end this year in NSW. If you are you one of the smart people in the Northern Rivers who are benefiting from the 60 cent per kWh export you will need to make plans for the coming changes. 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 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.

The Truth About the

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 a large part 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.

REAL Cost of Solar Batteries...

The Gel-acid batteries were much cheaper to buy, lasted longer and could be configured in many different sizes to better match each home's energy use. They do not explode if over charged like Lithium Ion, are compatible with all inverter and charger systems and have a welldeveloped re-cycling program. Gel-acid batteries have been tried and tested over decades and, with fifth generation desulphation technology, are the lowest cost and best value battery available.

Many new battery technologies have leapt into the solar arena and early adaptors have had mixed reports about the real value of their performance. Not all that glitters is gold and some of the best PR campaigns have hidden the real cost of new solar batteries. The real test for new battery technologies is measured by their ability to deliver a cost per stored kWh below grid price. Every battery has a life span in the number of cycles of charge and discharge they can achieve before they lose capacity, with 60% being the standard for end of life. The cost of batteries divided by the cycle life gives the best measure of their value.

888 Solar Tek is the leading supplier of Gel acid batteries and hybrid and off-grid solar systems in the Northern Rivers and one of the few solar companies that offer custom battery sizing based on your power use. They retro-fit batteries to existing systems and provide cost benefit analysis based on your current and projected power costs. With local, personalised service and an ethos to always look after their customers' needs first, 888 Solar Tek are the number one choice for solar battery systems in the Northern Rivers.

Other than the special feeling you get from being the first boy with the new toy, all of the Lithium Ion batteries on offer fail to satisfy, none of them delivering stored energy for less than the cost of buying it direct from the grid. Some like the BYD Mini, featured in recent TV ads on the North Coast, cost over twice as much as buying power from the grid!

Why pay for electricity when it is cheaper to make your own?

888 Solar Tek is the top-selling retailer for solar battery systems in the Northern Rivers. We supply customised new or retrofit systems to match your power use - not a one size fits all package. You get personalised service with free 12 month system monitoring. The electricity grid is a huge monopoly that serves the large generators and retailers. Selling your solar power for 6Â˘ per kWh or less is unfair! Beat the network by generating and storing all of your own power now. Call us for free, honest advice before you buy anywhere else.

NSW Solar bonus scheme ends this year!

The Sanden EcoÂŽ Hot Water Heat Pump System use up to 78% less energy than conventional electric water heaters. Quicker and easier to install than solar, you get the savings right away. Sanden is the most efficient and eco-friendly hot water heat pump system on the market, offering up to 50% faster heat recovery than its competitors. Call us for all your Solar Hot Water needs on 02 6688 4480.

Only Motoma Gel-acid batteries with an Australian invented de-sulphation device which increases their lifespan by years, deliver a storage cost well below the grid price.

You may not of noticed yet, but your power bill just went up by over 17% on the 1st of July. We all know we are getting ripped off by the electricity networks and that it will only get worse. As the rage grows, many people are seriously looking at getting batteries for their solar systems to be more independent from the bloodsucking grid now.

Legal Centre budget slashing to cause layoffs hundreds of thousands of people around Australia in need of free legal assistance, who do not qualify for legal aid. “They are on the frontline in the battle against domestic violence and assist people with problems as diverse as Centrelink debt, tenancy disputes and employment issues,” she said. The Weekly contacted Daniel Turner, a lawyer at the Northern Rivers Community Legal Centre, who said the cuts were “short-sighted and cruel”. Mr Turner confirmed that two employees, one Solicitor and one Community Development/Community Legal Education Worker would be laid off. “The cuts mean that there will no longer be a free legal service based in the Tweed Valley,” he said. Mr Turner said in the Tweed Valley alone the service provided more than 130 instances of legal advice. “The cuts are short-sighted and cruel – they limit access to justice for the most vulnerable in our community including women escaping domestic violence, the young and the elderly, people with a disability and Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people,” he said. “The reduced funding will have negative flow on effects in health, justice and child protection; it’s a false economy. Our community deserves better from the Federal Government.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe this free legal service is vital to the Tweed community?

MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest MP has thrown his support behind a bill to shorten Daylight Saving by one month which will be debated in State Parliament this week. Mr Provest said in a press release that he would back the bill and will speak for the motion when it is debated in the Legislative Assembly in March. “The problems caused by Daylight Saving in Tweed/Gold Coast communities are not understood by those who do not have to cope with the time difference across the Border every summer,” he said. Daylight Saving was permanently introduced in NSW between the last Sunday in October and the first Sunday in March following a referendum held in May 1976. Daylight Saving has been extended on several occasions by the NSW Parliament and currently applies between the first Sunday in October and the first Sunday in April, an extra two months from what was originally voted by NSW residents. If successful, the Standard Time Amendment (Daylight Saving Period Reduction) Bill would change the duration of Daylight Saving so it extends from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in March – a full month shorter than the current arrangements. “Love it or hate it, Daylight Saving in NSW is here to stay, but most people I speak to agree that it just goes on for far too long,” Mr Provest said. “We understand that for many people across the state, Daylight Saving is a passionate subject for a host of reasons. All we ask is that the merits be considered against the concerns it causes people living in regional New South Wales and the Tweed in particular.” A petition with almost 5,000 signatures supporting the Bill was tabled on February 22 and the Bill is due to be debated in Parliament later this week.

FREE LEGAL centres across the Tweed may be forced to layoff several staff and close following announced funding cutbacks that local MP Justine Elliot has labelled as a “devastating blow to the community”. Mrs Elliot said in a statement to local media that she “condemned” the Coalition government for slashing the funding by nearly $180,000 from July 1 which could cause the Tweed office and its outreach services at Pottsville and Murwillumbah to close. “Northern Rivers Legal Centre and its dedicated staff have been helping our local community since 1996 and now their funding is going to be cut by 23 per cent which will seriously jeopardise its ability to operate,” she said. “The Legal Centre provides free advice and services to individuals and groups in financial hardship, subject to unfair discrimination, victims of domestic violence, people losing their employment, separating families and many others who rely on these services to access justice. These are some of the most disadvantaged in our community.” Mrs Elliot is calling on the government to reverse the cuts and maintain a vital legal service. “I’m calling on the Turnbull Liberal National government to reverse these cruel cuts as a matter of urgency. Vulnerable people in our region are at risk, and I will continue to fight to have this funding restored,” Mrs Elliot said. Mrs Elliot pointed out that Community Legal Centres help

Water extraction spreading

Concern about water mining is not just happening in the Tweed. People from the tiny town of Stanley in Victoria were recently crowd funded to take their case to the Supreme Court. Like many others they are concerned about their water table and also the transport of millions of tons of water through their little town. In November they lost their case to the Supreme Court based upon a ‘narrow point of construction’ of Section 8 of the Water Act (https://www.facebook. com/StanleyWaterForStanley/ timeline). They are now appealing the decision. E nv i ro n m e n t a l p ro t e c t i o n and sustainability must include protection of the basic resource of water. Let’s not take it for granted. A recent report from a NASA scientist showed that ground water around the world is indeed under threat (https://jayfamiglietti.com/ writing/, see article: The Global Groundwater Crisis). Any large scale extraction of our Tweed water needs to be very carefully regulated indeed. I am of the age where I can remember when water was free and not in throw away plastic bottles, and where every town had a water fountain. Let’s install water fountains here in the main streets of our shire and, most importantly, make sure our water stays owned by us, plentiful and free. Nola Firth, Murwillumbah

Where’s the science Reece?

Councillor Reece Byrnes, I note that you do not participate or contribute to any debate during the Council meetings, only make dubious and outlandish comments such as your rant about Koalas, Donald Trump and Volkswagens. It is bad enough that you back-flipped on the Black Rocks motion and to basically support the water mining issue is reprehensible. There is no science to support commercially draining our aquifers and ground water supplies. You did not even attend the Uki water mining meeting

where, within a packed house you would have learnt from people who have vast knowledge of this environmentally destructive industry. Instead you chose to interfere from a perspective of someone who has little or no knowledge of the potential damage this type of industry causes throughout the world. We know the science you are looking for to support commercial water mining does not exist. An international study released by NASA showing declines in groundwater resources globally should alert us to the pressing need to manage groundwater resources sustainably. Australia is not immune to the challenges posed from declining groundwater resources. Be assured Councillor, we will be relentless in our quest to assure the media and the general public are continually made aware of the detriment you are instigating through yours and the decisions of the Labor Party to adversely affect our environment and the plight of the coastal koala population. It is not too late to back down from both of these decisions you have made without ‘loosing face’. This will be discussed with you at our meeting. Andrew Bennett, Murwillumbah

Build train for big gains

When one can accept the fact that we here on the Tweed are an ageing population, who would benefit from a daily passenger train that would connect through to the Brisbane line, it seems crystal clear to me that we really need one. It would benefit both us locals, and the tourists. However with Tweed Shire Council`s desire to obliterate the concept of this ever happening in the future by making this a stupid walking and cycling track, which will be of no use to us, the ageing population and seeking a 13 million dollar Federal Government grant to implement their desire, I think that this 13 million dollar grant would go a long way towards fixing up the track and the now deliberately vandalised bridges. 13 million dollars for a bloody walking track, they`ve got to be out of their minds to waste so much money on such an absurd project! Mike Yarrow, Byangum

Now see here Cr Cherry

This week in Council, Cr Chris Cherry congratulated the councillors for a good meeting. A meeting that included a number of embarrassing questions to the officers and a lot of giggling. Cr Cherry thought this was a good meeting, many of us who vote for councillors would expect them to be prepared to debate robustly about the issues, and not just have a captain call, a joke and merriment in

the chamber, some of the councillors appear ill prepared and not keeping up with the agenda. Cr Cherry you explained to the PDMSA that you were new and only learning. Well learn quicker, we expect robust arguments, serious meetings, a Mayor who can lead and Councillors who at least say something with thought, relevance and competence. Real Community Consultation would show you that there are at least two sides to each situation. You are not there for a popularity contest or starting to get votes for the next election. All Councillors, start working harder and smarter, the Tweed Residents deserve better than giggling and patting each other on the back. Maybe time to stream the council meetings so everyone has a chance to see this comedy show. Greg Kelly, Hastings

Support Epilepsy day this March

Throughout March, communities around the world are dedicated to raising awareness of epilepsy, culminating in Purple Day on March 26 (International Epilepsy Awareness Day). During this time, people wear purple and hold events to raise funds and awareness of the condition that will affect more than 800,000 Australians in their lifetime, and 50 million people worldwide. This Purple Day, Epilepsy Action Australia would like to encourage communities to shine a light on epilepsy by lighting up purple a local landmark and raising funds for community education services to better the lives of those affected. Interventions by Epilepsy Action Australia can help increase understanding in our communities, such as epilepsy awareness sessions, seizure first-aid training, and the Online Academy, which offers several courses about epilepsy for parents, carers, schools and healthcare professionals. I would encourage your community to support Purple Day during March by simply making a donation or getting involved (www.epilepsy. org.au). Please help shine a light on epilepsy this Purple Day and put your region on the map. Carol Ireland, Chief Executive Officer, Epilepsy Action Australia

I find the advertisement shown on page 5 of your paper dated 16/2/17 to be reprehensible. To insinuate that by granting the Men’s Shed a licence to operate from a site at Black Rocks is going to make the problem worse. How much worse? The problem is happening now the advertisement says (this endangered koala is one of the many which has died with stress related disease around Black Rocks) and this is under the Threatened Species

I live just up from the Banora Club in Leisure Drive, therefore directly under the flight path. When I first purchased my unit 3.5 years ago, one could still have a conversation as the planes were overhead and of course there seemed to be less flights. I read with interest in last week’s Tweed Valley Weekly under “Fight brewing over Gold Coast airport expansion plans” that “there are currently 50 flights a day over the 70-decibel (DB) noise threshold.” Further mentioned was “The70dB threshold is calculated by the noise level of a noise event likely to interfere with conversation, or listening to a radio or television, with the fabric of a house attenuating an average of 15dB.” I t i s i m p o s s i bl e t o h o l d a conversation, listen to television etc when planes in particular are readying for landing but also applies to some planes when taking off. The worst offender is Asian Airlines which appears to be a bigger plane and appears to be flying at a lower level when readying for landing and taking off. My questions, therefore are: Why are these planes allowed to fly over the threshold decibel level? Why isn’t something being done about the flouting of the 70dB level? Who is responsible for ensuring the flight decibel rules are abided by? I guess when the Commonwealth Games in 2018 is on and we at inundated with flights, it would be best to remove oneself from the area and take a flight elsewhere! Lesley Voss, Banora Point

Councils in the Northern Rivers find it increasingly difficult to pay for road maintenance because everything is carried by road. All passengers and freight in trucks and buses tear up the roads but don’t pay for the damage they cause. Under recovery of these costs has been estimated at between $7,000 and $10,500 per truck each year (Productivity Commission 2006). Recent estimates say it’s much higher now. Ratepayers are therefore paying the repair bill of trucking companies. Statistics show that road accidents are on the rise and have cost approx. $500 million over the last five years. When the government does cost comparisons between road and rail services they don’t include costs incurred by taxpayers of road accidents, road maintenance, traffic congestion, air pollution and carbon emissions. Rail is 200 times safer than road, causes 75 per cent less carbon emissions and much less air pollution. This community needs rail services for the future in order to save lives and save excess costs to ratepayers and taxpayers. We need better, safer roads and rail is the answer.

Conservation Society’s Inc watch. According to Google the stress related disease is a strain of chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease which in koalas is causing a devastating epidemic. In some parts of Australia, it is as high at 90 per cent. Neither side has much say in that. I congratulate Councillor Byrnes on joining the other councillors in seeing through this campaign by a couple of families at Black Rocks to take this field out of public hands. Your fathers, grandfathers, uncles and brothers and koalas can coexist. They do at Koala Beach and many other parts of Australia. Let’s give them a go. Let’s not use koalas for political and personal advantage. Peter Howell, Pottsville

disturbing and the amount of air traffic is already heavy. Low flying planes almost scrape the roof tops of private homes. There is also the question of poisonous chemicals being used at the airport which affect local waters and residents. This whole business of Gold Coast “progress” is past a joke. Greedy developers, politicians and others have turned the region into an overcrowded mass of concrete next to the sea. In my eyes it’s a blatantly ugly mess of concrete boxes and traffic jams. I sigh for the loss of natural wild life and greenery. Tweed Heads and Northern Rivers Region has always been noted for its respect for wildlife and the environment. It boasts some of the most beautiful countryside in the world. Hopefully it will stay that way and will not “progress”. James Larkin, Tweed Heads South

Further claims against Rowlands Creek Road water extraction applicant

ROWLANDS CREEK Road resident Jack Hallam has responded to criticism around water extraction volumes by releasing a report card for the North Coast Volcanic Groundwater Source that was produced by the Department of Primary Industries Water (DPI Water). Mr Hallam recently dropped the document off at The Weekly in order to quash rumours that underground water could be depleted from the North Coast Volcanic Groundwater source by current or future water extraction activities. The document shows that the volume of groundwater licenced for extraction is 2,505 megalitres a year. The estimated volume of groundwater associated with existing basic landholder rights is 3,402 megalitres per year. The long-term average annual extraction limit set by DPI Water is 13,000 megalitres with an upper extraction limit of 55,000 mgalitres per year. However, the most interesting figure on the document is the amount of water that percolates each year into the groundwater source which equals 310,000 megalitres. Based on the current water extraction amounts, just 1.2 per cent of the available groundwater is being extracted each year. “The North Coast Volcanic Groundwater Source represents a fractured rock aquifer system typically composed of basalt and rhyolite,” according to the DPI. “The groundwater is contained within and moving through fractures formed as a result of the cooling of rocks as well as the vesicular structure of basalt flows.” DPI noted the groundwater is typically recharged by direct rainfall infiltration and this results in typically “good quality water”. Mr Hallam went on to say “the science is overwhelming”. “There is currently a lot of misinformation and I believe one of the tools of political propaganda,” Mr Hallam said. “The volumes I have applied to extract are miniscule (25 megalitres) and as you can see

recharge rates are very frequent.” However, Mr Hallam has acknowledged that truck movements are “a genuine concern”. “I respect that increased truck movements are a genuine concern, however, I would like to add that much of this region was developed by roads and many businesses continue to use these roads.” Mr Hallam’s comments were made just prior to a second claim of contamination on his property by the Tweed Water Alliance. Last week the Alliance claimed that the two herbicides used to produce Agent Orange were stored on his property in the late 60s, of which Mr Hallam denied. In a media release issued this week the Tweed Water Alliance claimed that Mr Hallam did not inform council of a contaminated cattle dip site 350 metres from his water bore and the presence of this dip site is “serious”. The Rowlands Creek Road cattle dip is currently decommissioned with an expired lease since 2003. The dip first used Arsenic in 1951 and DDT in 1955. The DPI told The Weekly they are aware of the cattle dip site. “Department of Primary Industries (DPI) maintains a list of cattle dip sites in the Northern Rivers region. The Rowlands Creek Cattle Dip site on Chowan Creek Road is included on this list,” a DPI spokesperson said. The DPI also said that any contamination at the dip site is likely to be only in the surrounding surface soil. “The contamination around dip sites is generally restricted to the surface soils in the immediate vicinity of the dip bath and drain yard.” According to the DPI website Arsenic and DDT are very persistent in soil. Arsenic forms compounds that strongly binds to soil particles and this stops it from leeching through the soil. Most soils contain a small amount of natural arsenic. “At cattle dipping yards where arsenic has been used, soil arsenic greatly exceeds this range, especially near the dipping bath,” the

website reads. “Arsenic and DDT residues at cattle dip yards eventually breakdown to harmless substances, but its structure makes it very stable and it breaks down very slowly. “In soil, this breakdown process is helped by soil micro-organisms. It is worth noting that the soil half-life of DDT can range from between three and 10 years depending on the location, climate, soil type etc.” When reviewing a bore application the DPI said they take into account any nearby contaminated sites. “The application form for an approval to construct a bore asks the applicant to identify any known contaminated sites, including cattle dip sites,” the DPI spokesperson said. “When a new bore is established DPI Water recommends the water is tested before it is first used to ensure it is safe and suitable for its intended use.” The DPI has specific rules for distances that bores must be from contaminated sources and the distance depends on the type of contamination. “Water sharing plans specify distances bores generally need to be from certain types of contamination sources, which can include cattle dip sites. These distances are applied through restrictions on the granting of applications for an approval for a new bore, and the granting of applications to amend an approval for an existing bore,” the DPI

spokesperson said. The DPI website lists the minimum distances a bore must be from a contaminated source. “No water supply work (bores) to be granted or amended within the following distances of a plume associated with a contamination source as identified in the plan within 250 m, or between 250 m and 500 m if no drawdown of water will occur within 250 m of the plume, or a distance greater than 500 m if necessary to protect the groundwater source, the environment or public health or safety,” the DPI website reads. Trevor White of the Tweed Water Alliance said that Mr Hallam should have notified Tweed Shire Council of the cattle dip in his application. “Surely as a former minister for agriculture Mr Hallam knows how serious the presence of a contaminated dip site can be,” “There is no doubt he is aware of the dip site. It is just down the road from his property and all the dip fencing is still in place. “Mr Hallam’s failure to notify the Council regarding the cattle dip in his development application to Tweed once again shows the lack of due diligence that has gone into his application. “The Tweed Water Alliance is calling on the Council to ensure that proper hydrological mapping is done so that the risks of the cattle dip site are understood and contamination prevented.”

LUCIA– AN ENDANGERED BLACK ROCKS KOALA'S PLEA FOR HELP My name is Lucia. I live in the bush next to the Black Rocks sports field. I am very lucky to be healthy and alive. In 2015 I was a baby joey on my mother's back and we hung out in our favourite trees on the edges of the sports field and access road. We could not get the 18-22 hours sleep a day that koalas need, because we were woken up by loud noise and disturbance from model aeroplanes, cricket matches, motor bikes, hooning and grass being cut by big tractors – often underneath or next to branches in which we were trying to rest. We were also scared of dogs which roamed free in our habitat. We were very tired, stressed and became sick. A man who lived nearby took photos of us on 5 different occasions. He noticed that my eyes were red, swollen and infected. My mother was nowhere to be seen. He sent a photo of me to Friends of the Koala. They said I had early signs of conjunctivitis, which is a symptom of the stress-related disease chlamydia. As there Lucia released on 7/2/16 after successful treatment are so few breeding female koalas left, it was very important for me to survive. I was captured and taken to the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital for treatment. Two months later when I got better I was released back into the same tree where I was captured. A lot of people were watching me and I was too frightened to move. A carer from Friends of the Koala tapped me on the bottom to make me go up the tree. I did not go into soft release care first because I was needed to breed in the bush. You can watch a video of my release at http://www.tinyurl.com/LuciaRelease . The carer said that I got sick when suckling on my mother's breast, and my mother would have worse symptoms of the disease than me. She said that my mother needed urgent treatment or suffer a slow miserable death in the bush, and that I would have died if not treated. The man who took the photos saw my mother 3 times after I was released, but she was not able to be captured. Could you please make our home a safe and peaceful place to live so that we can have lots of healthy babies. Koalas between the Tweed and Brunswick Rivers east of the Pacific Highway are endangered. This means we are at very high risk of extinction in the near future. Once we are gone, we are gone forever. [Go to www.blackrockskoalas.org for more about my family.] Could you please listen to the koala specialist who says that what you are doing to protect us is not working. You are planting more of our favourite trees, but leaving gaps where we get stressed from human activities. You rely on fancy signs to stop us being killed on the road, even though it is hard to get people to slow down at school crossings. You rely on council to stop people doing things which harm koalas, but there aren't enough council officers to enforce their own rules. There are more of us dying than being born. In 2010 there were about 35 koalas left in my Pottsville Wetlands-Black Rocks family. Since then 5 of my Black Rocks family died with stress-related disease, another died from an unknown cause. Unless treated my mother will die too. A koala expert said 30-50% of us died in the 2014 fire. Last year at Pottsville Waters two of my cousins died with chlamydia and another died from a dog attack. Please leave my family alone to rest and recover. Our survival depends on you.

Family appeals for residents to leave Dann’s vigil alone

Feeling Dizzy?

You could have a balance or vestibular disorder

THE FAMILY of Dann Jenkins, who was killed in a tragic road accident late last year, said they were shocked to see a vigil for Dann in the form of a handmade cross vandalised on repeat occasions recently. Dann Jenkins was killed at the intersection of Numinbah Road and Couchy Creek Road on October 24, 2016. While the circumstances surrounding his death are due to go before the Murwillumbah Court later next month, the family have appealed to the community to show some respect and leave the vigil alone (pictured below). Sue Jenkins, Dann’s mother, spoke to The Weekly on Monday and was in tears over the cross being vandalised on repeat occasions. “I have had to suffer the indignity of the desecration of my son’s roadside cross from the first day we put it in the ground on the day he was killed,” she said. “Someone has thrown the cross into the bushes three or more times even though it was cemented into the ground at the time. “The only reason the cross we put up at the crash site is still there, is because we got a cherry picker and put it high up in a tree. All other tributes have been destroyed.” Mrs Jenkins said she wanted people to understand that this is where Dann was killed and to allow people to pay their respects and mourn his death during this time. Mrs Jenkins said she found it incomprehensible that anyone would vandalise the small but significant memorial. “No mother should have to identify her young vibrant 22-year-old son from behind glass because his body was a crime scene,” she said. “I got no last hug, no last kiss on his cheek and no last chance to hold his hand to say goodbye,” she said. Although roadside vigils, such as crosses, have been discouraged by local and state authorities, many turn a blind eye due to the severe grief suffered by families.

BALANCE is easily taken for granted. However when the fragile vestibular organs of the inner ear and brain are damaged by illness or injury, anyone can lose their ability to balance.

o achieve good physical balance, we rely on our brain, eyes, innerear, and musculoskeletal system to work in harmony. Balance disorders are typically under diagnosed and undertreated. More than 1/3 of adults aged 40 years and older experience vestibular dysfunction at some point in their lives. Common symptoms of vestibular disorders include vertigo and dizziness. Vertigo is a spinning or whirling sensation, or an illusion of the self or world moving. Dizziness is a lightheaded, floating or rocking sensation. Poor balance, nausea, visual disturbances, headache, hearing loss, tinnitus, and pain or fullness in the ears can accompany vestibular disorders.

HOW CAN YOUR OSTEOPATH HELP? There are many causes of dizziness or vertigo. But most types of vestibular disorders can be diagnosed by means of a thorough medical history and clinical examination. The most common type of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), and once diagnosed is easily treated with repositioning manoeuvres, with a success rate of 90%. Another type of vertigo encountered is Cervicogenic Vertigo, which is due to a dysfunction in the neck. Again once diagnosed, it can be easily treated with Osteopathic intervention. Your Osteopath can diagnose most of the common types of vestibular disorders and can either treat the condition or refer on for further diagnosis and treatment. Dr Rudi Gerhardt B.Sc., D.O.

Council responds to bin change concerns and it will take about four weeks for all the bins to be delivered. Council will also deliver a free kitchen caddy and an initial supply of compost-approved green compostable liners to each eligible household. The caddy is a compact container to be kept in the kitchen before transferring organic waste to the green-lid organics bin. According to Council the organic waste bin should not smell. “Generally, the organics waste in the green-lid bin should not smell. Food waste does not go off quickly using the organics system and it is very unlikely contents of the greenlid bin will attract flies or vermin. But in warmer weather, if you are concerned prawn peelings or fish might be an issue before collection day, try putting them in the freezer and then into the organics bin closer to collection day,” the statement read.

A LOBBY group called Let’s Waste Less is encouraging the Tweed Valley community to join in the benefits of going plastic bag free by adopting Boomerang Bags. Boomerang Bags are a plastic bag free option that is made by the local community and can be found at local shops. Shoppers are encouraged to return the bags when they are finished, therefore reducing the use of plastic bags. The group has already had some success across the Tweed with Boomerang Bags already a success in Pottsville and Cabarita. A spokesperson for Let’s Waste Less, Andia Cally contacted The Weekly to inform readers of the benefits of the program and to encourage the community to go plastic bag free. We want Murwillumbah to join Uki, Chillingham, Tumbulgum and others by getting on the plastic bag ‘ban’ wagon,” Ms Cally said. “To help our area break ‘bag’ habits Let’s Waste Less is starting a local chapter of Boomerang Bags, a national initiative that invites local communities to use the Boomerang Bag template to make their own bags.” Let’s Waste Less is calling on the support from people who can sew and are willing to donate their time to help create a sustainable solution to plastic bags in our region. “We would love to hear from local op shops, businesses and individuals who can donate materials or time to this cause as well,” she said. Ms Cally added that eight million tonnes of plastic enters our oceans annually, affecting our food chain, killing off ecosystems, marine mammals, fish and seabirds, as well as clogging up landfill. “This single-use item is used for an average of 12 minutes before it is discarded as litter or in landfill, where it remains for anywhere between 20—1,000 years. Plastic bags have devastating long-term effects on human health, the natural environment and the economy,” she said. For more information contact andia@letswasteless.org or call 0438 825 411.

TWEED RESIDENTS have raised concerns following changes to Tweed Shire Council’s Bin Collection Service commencing July 1 but Council says the service will bring cost benefits to the community and reduce landfill. The new Bin Collection Service will affect urban residential properties and will include a weekly organics collection service (green-lid bin) for all food scraps and garden waste, and fortnightly garbage (red-lid) bin and recycling (yellowlid) bin collection. Several concerns raised across the community including frequency of garbage (red bin) collection, illegal dumping, odour and sanitation. In a statement to The Weekly Tweed Shire Council said the changes aim to reduce landfill with the NSW Government setting a state target to direct 70 per cent of waste away from landfill, by recycling and reusing materials where possible. “The Tweed cannot come close to meeting that target without the introduction of the three Bin System, and its organics service, because of the high proportion of food waste currently in households’ red lid bins,” the statement reads. “The new service will change what goes in each bin and when each bin is collected.” “The three Bin Service will bring cost benefits for the community and ratepayers because organics and recycling services are cheaper to operate than sending waste to landfill. Council said the current level of household waste saved from landfill in the Tweed is only 42 per cent. “The Tweed will never be able to come close to achieving that 70 per cent target without the introduction of the three Bin System and its new organics service,” the statement reads. “Audits show 51 per cent of what goes into Tweed households’ red landfill bin is food and garden organics waste that could be put to much better use.” “In 2013, an audit of 220 household red-lid waste bins throughout Tweed Shire found 39 per cent of what goes into our bins each week is food waste - and this level is increasing.” The changes will apply to urban residential while rural properties and multi-unit developments larger than two units (unless already provided with a green bin service) will remain on the two Bin System at this time. Delivery of green-lid bins will start near the end of May

One year on and plenty of fun to come Fingal Rovers plan for big year ahead

TIMEZONE COOLANGATTA will celebrate one year of providing an exciting entertainment venue with its first birthday celebration on Sunday, February 26. The fun will go all day from 9am to 5pm with a wide range of exciting games, great prizes and awesome entertainment. The day will feature balloon artists, the hugely popular free face painting for children, Brazilian dancers, competitions and a variety of roving entertainment. There will also be a Pinball Competition held on the day as well as the new educational and fun PAINT-O-MATIC, to help celebrate the first birthday. Timezone Gold Coast owner Juan Uribe said the past 12 months have been an exciting time for the popular venue. “Our new family entertainment centre’s design provides a vibrant, contemporary and engaging atmosphere for our customers which includes a modern approach to the layout of the centre, which I believe encourages participation across all the games and entertainment for families that we provide,” he said.

“The first Birthday is testament to our continued commitment to customer satisfaction through the high quality and safe environment, where families can enjoy the great atmosphere and value for money attractions.” Recently the company was named the winner of the Gold Coast 2016 Business of the Year in front of the business community at the Gold Coast Business Excellence Awards. Already recognised as the largest indoor family entertainment centre in Australia and the biggest Timezone in the world, these prestigious awards are another well deserved credit to the enterprising Gold Coast business. A first birthday exclusive player package will be available on the day that includes three hours playing time, and “Mad Games” Ten Pin Bowling, all for a celebratory price of $25. This offer is available for pre-purchase in store or online to skip the queue. The first 200 eligible tickets purchased will receive an additional three hour extended car parking pass. For more information visit the website: www. timezonegoldcoast.com.au or phone: (07) 5599 1288.

Crowds flocked to Timezone Coolangatta’s opening one year ago this week and the fun has continued ever since

AFTER ALMOST 12 months in the making the Fingal Rovers Surf Lifesaving Clubhouse is nearing completion and with a huge variety of events planned in the coming year to support the club. The Weekly recently caught up with Fingal Rovers SLSC Captain Deb Cheers who said there was a bright future ahead for the Rovers and she’s also encouraging support from the local community. She said by early June the elevator for the clubhouse will be installed making the facility the most accessible and inclusive surf club to all current and future members and SLSA guests. “While the future is looking bright, none of these things can happen without ongoing support, not just monetary but people power especially,” Ms Cheers said. “Unlike many other Surf Life Saving Clubs, due to our unique location, Fingal Rovers don’t have the luxury of passing traffic, instead, relying strongly on the support of locals who tirelessly volunteer their time when they can, a dedicated bunch who we would be lost without.” Ms Cheers said enquiries are now coming in from other Surf Life Saving Clubs showing keen interest in youth development camps and competitions and the plan is to have Nipper Squads on the beach early next year. “There will be dinner evenings, games nights, fun runs, walkathons and much more, all with a double aim, raising awareness and much needed funds for the club and widening the community base in and around the club which will, in turn boost the numbers of patrolling members on the beach,” she said. “There are also patrolling members coming from locations over an hour away to keep our beach safe.” Ms Cheers said the Rovers now need volunteer lifesavers who can commit to once a month on a range of duties. “Not everyone is required for water safety or rescues, we also need people to administer first aid, operate a radio and simply have eyes on the water,” she said. “Lead the Nipper Squads, help out around the club, be part of our fundraising committee, donate money and resources. Whatever you can offer in skills or time or both will be highly valued that’s for sure.” To be a part of the Fingal Rovers SLSC email members@ fingalroversslsc.com.au or phone: (07) 5524 2371.

Stone & Wood brewery open day

real INGREDIENTS real FLAVOUR real PIZZA

THE AWARD-WINNING Stone & Wood Murwillumbah brewery will host a community open day on Saturday, March 4 as a special fundraiser for Wedgetail Retreat Community Hospice and Tweed Palliative Support. The company will also unveil a new beer called Murwillumbah Swamp Beer to pay tribute to a legendary local story of a semitrailer that ran off the Pacific Highway dropping pallets of beer. The Brewery’s Managing Director Ben Summons said the reason for this day is to bring the Northern Rivers community together to support a charity which is integral to this area and to give locals the opportunity to see what Stone & Wood does in ‘their backyard’. “We’re stoked to partner with Wedgetail Retreat and Tweed Palliative Support, as they share our values and the work they do touches so many families in this community during tough times,” Mr Summons said. “We have two breweries, one in Byron and this one up the road but a lot of locals wouldn’t know we are here in the Murwillumbah industrial estate. As the local brewer, we want to deepen our connection with our community and give them a chance to get to know us and how we do business.” Welcoming the community to their Murwillumbah brewery at 35 Kite Crescent,

Tours of the brewery will also take place every 30 minutes to show the brewing process, sustainability initiatives and tell the Stone & Wood story. Kids will be entertained with a special kids area and jumping castle. Meredith Dennis, President of Tweed Palliative Support and Wedgetail Retreat community hospice said the retreat is the only one of its kind in the State and is not funded at all by NSW Health. “We rely on the support from businesses and the community to continue caring for people with cancer or a life-limiting illness and their families in our region. The profits from the day are going to a worthy cause – our busy community hospice, Wedgetail Retreat, based just outside of Murwillumbah,” Ms Dennis said. “I’d encourage everyone to come along and enjoy the entertainment, take a tour of the brewery and try the delicious food and beers. There will be a gold coin donation at the gate and we will also have a stand selling Stone & Wood Pacific Ale, fruit chutney, beer bread and cheese.” All profits from the $5 beers will be donated to Wedgetail Retreat.

POTTSVILLE WILL host the 2017 Tweed Coast Enduro triathlon on Saturday, February 25, with athletes coming from across NSW and QLD to compete. The new location also means a larger number of participants and a new short distance category for new comers to the sport. Many athletes and their families will be staying at local accommodation and it has been near impossible to find a bed for the last few months. This event has attracted a larger number of clubs and teams, including former NRL footballer Matt Roger and his Rat Pack. Racing starts in Mooball Creek on an incoming tide at 7.30am for the Sprinters with a 750m swim; followed by the long course athletes starting from the Buckingham Street beach at 8.20am for their 1.9km swim. The 90km cycle leg then starts near the Tweed Coast Holiday Park and heads along Tweed Coast Road towards Wooyung and the wooden railway bridge. The cycle is expected to finish about 1pm subject to headwinds and the heat. The final leg is the half marathon 21.1km run, which follows Overall Drive, the creek bank and Black Rocks fields which should be completed by 3pm. Each year residents come out to hose the athletes as they go past and cheer on the runners who suffer from high humidity in the afternoon. Run course manager Fletcher Rainford asks all residents to be part of the fun, grab a drink, pop up the beach umbrella and cool the athletes and help reduce heat exposure problems. The Tweed Coast Enduro continues the proud tradition of fundraising for the Cabarita Surf Life Saving Club and Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre, and a number of other community groups including Tweed Raiders JRL, Pottsville Cricket Club, Murwillumbah Venturer

Scouts, Pottsville Men’s Shed, and the Walkie Talkies. This goal this year is to raise $7,000 for these local groups. Additionally the competition will employ from the Tweed and spend $4500 in labour services directly. Race Director Mike Crawley thanked the residents and businesses in advance and acknowledged that this event will cause some traffic disruption. Traffic will be closed along Tweed Coast Road between 7.00am and 1.00pm; and local vehicle access to and from Overall Drive will be detoured via Anne Street. Expect some delays.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Rhythm of Gordon Neely’s life leaves lasting legacy THE LIFE and times of Tweed Valley icon Gordon George Neely was recently celebrated by his family, friends and the community following his passing on Friday, February 10, aged 78. A committed family man and dedicated hard worker, Gordon was well known around the Condong Mill where he worked as a Boiler Attendant until his retirement almost 14 years ago. Gordon’s funeral took place at Sacred Heart Church Murwillumbah and was hosted by McGuiness Funerals on Friday, February 17. His daughter Paula visited The Weekly on Tuesday to share some of her father’s amazing life stories and to capture some of his spirit in a local article. Paula said a theme to her father’s life was his ability to apply a certain rhythm wherever he applied himself. “Everyone that’s spoken to me about dad says he had an amazing rhythm to his work and the way he lived his life,” she said. “Those who knew dad would know his intelligence, humour and wisdom were a driving force in his life and it was this rhythm that I have always admired.” Gordon was born on August 1, 1938, in Murwillumbah Hospital to William and Irene Neely, and the younger brother of William Neely. He left school at 13 to work on the family farm which is likely where Gordon first developed his strong work ethic that would define him and his love for family. By the age of 17, Gordon started working at Connelly’s Sawmill in Chillingham. Described by those close to him as a humble and gentle man, Gordon also carried an unstoppable fighting spirit, which during his younger years developed into an interest in boxing. He was quick to make a name for himself in the sport, travelling around Northern NSW and Southern QLD, winning a number of regional boxing titles. “One of his proudest achievements was a knockout win over Athol McQueen, a man who went on to knock Joe Frazier down at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics,” Paula said. “Dad retired from the sport in 1958, at the age of 21, with a swag of trophies and although we didn’t know much about it as kids, it’s something we really admire and cherish today.” It was around the following year that Gordon attended the Murwillumbah Show and he invited Janice Davis to ride

with him on the Ferris Wheel. “Gordon was 21 and Jan 16. They were married a couple of years later in front of a large congregation at the Catholic Church in Tyalgum on April 14,” Paula said. “Those of us who were at their 50th Wedding Anniversary five years ago, were touched to hear Gordon and Jan describe each other as soulmates. “Their 55th wedding anniversary is coming up in April, and for all that time, through good times and tough, they stood by each other, supported each other and brought out the best in each other. “Together they built a life of love, and a devotion to each other and to their family. It has ensured a legacy of loyalty and an unbreakable bond that we know will continue with each generation.” Gordon and Jan started married life by moving to the Clarence area where Gordon took up cane cutting. For the next 16 years, Gordon and Jan spent half the year in the Tweed, where Gordon cut cane by hand, and worked his own two banana patches at North Arm and Reserve Creek. The other half of the year was spent around the Riverina, where they picked fruit, and Gordon worked for the Rice Marketing Board as a rice tester where he was in charge of the weighbridge, depot and sheds. Gordon played a big part in Tweed’s local history by leading the last gang to cut cane by hand on the Tweed. “Dad worked for the next 27 years at the Condong Sugar Mill and challenged himself by studying and sitting exams to become a Boiler Attendant, while still managing the banana farm and working at the Sugar Mill full-time,” Paula said. “Dad used his fighting spirit and his concerns for injustice and equality in his role as a Union Rep for the Condong Mill with the Australian Workers Union. “This made him proud and he would love to tell stories of some battles he had fighting for the rights and the wages of his work-mates. He did this for many years, and he was well respected by his workmates.” Paula said her father worked most days in order to give his family opportunities he never had. “He expressed his love for family by working as hard as he could, which provided the means to pursue another keen interest in property,” she said. “With some smart planning and his emerging business skills this would add another bow to his and Jan’s livelihood.”

In 1964, while pregnant with their first child, Gordon and Jan spent time working in Tasmania for 3 months. When they returned to Griffith Paula was born. Then the following year Leanne was born in Murwillumbah. David arrived four years later and Lesley’s arrival nine years later completed the family. “Dad always joked about dragging us around the country, following his opportunities for work, as we lived out of a caravan, travelling the country’s highways in the back of a Land Rover,” Paula said. “They’re great memories for us, and we know it was borne out of his love for family. “We understand he did the best with the skills and chances he was given, and he and our mum were able to give us a lifestyle they were only able to dream about as kids. “He’s been proud of every one of our achievements, and we’ve known that he would support us through any circumstance that could come up for us, as best he could.” After seeing most of Australia, Gordon and Jan started to venture overseas and spent three months in Europe, trekked New Zealand by motorhome and toured southeast Asia, where Gordon especially enjoyed visiting Vietnam. Paula said the family has learnt the value of family from their parents, including their love of family, finding your rhythm in life, an eagerness to work hard and willingness to live life to the fullest. “His children and his adult grandchildren were there the night he passed. I remember thinking he would be proud of the legacy he’d left - that we were there to honour him, and to support each other,” Paula said.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Dementia numbers on the rise A SOARING number of people living with dementia across the Tweed and Lismore Shires is expected to double in the next four decades with predictions for more strain to be placed on local health networks. According to Alzheimer’s Australia’s latest report, Lismore and Tweed state electorates have around 3,950 people living with dementia currently, but this figure is expected to increase to 5,000 people by 2025 and 8,800 by 2056. Across the country people living with dementia has reached more than 400,000 and almost 139,000 in NSW with an estimated cost to the community of more than $14 billion this year alone. The report said research predicts this number will climb by another $4 billion in just eight years as the number of people living with the condition continues to rise dramatically. The report, The Economic Cost of Dementia in Australia 2016-2056, commissioned by Alzheimer’s Australia was released this week and found that if nothing is done to reduce the incidence of dementia, the cost will blow out to more than $18 billion by 2025, and more than double to $36 billion in less than 40 years as the number of people with dementia soars, from an estimated 413,000 people in 2017, to 536,000 people by 2025 and a staggering 1.1 million people by 2056. Nationally, that translates to an estimated 244 new cases of dementia each day this year alone, which will grow to an estimated 318 people per day by 2025 and more than 650 people per day by 2056. However, the report also found that just a five per cent reduction in the number of people with dementia over the age of 65 could lead to savings of $5.7 billion from 2016-25, and a staggering $120.4 billion by 2056. Alzheimer’s Australia NSW CEO John Watkins AM said the figures contained in the report, by the University of Canberra’s National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM), were alarming and a very big wakeup call with renewed calls for a funded National Dementia Strategy to deal with the issue, along with a greater focus on risk reduction measures. “Dementia, which is a National Health Priority Area, is one of the major chronic diseases of this century,” Mr Watkins said. “It is already the second leading cause of death in Australia and we know that the impact is far reaching.

“Despite the social and economic impact we still do not have a fully-funded national strategy to provide better care and outcomes for people who are living with dementia now, nor are we taking risk reduction seriously in order to try to reduce the numbers of people living with dementia in the future. “The time for action is now. If we don’t do something now, the cost is going to continue to grow to unsustainable levels.” In the 2017-18 pre-budget submission to the Federal Government, Alzheimer’s Australia has called for a staged approach to implementing a funded National Dementia Strategy, with immediate action on funding. Dawn and Glyn McKay have welcomed calls for improvements to dementia care and support. Dawn’s husband Glyn was diagnosed with vascular dementia six years ago, and attends respite twice a week, which Dawn said was appropriate and engaging. “It is so important for people with dementia to be able to continue to have social engagement,” Mrs McKay said. “People living with dementia need quality community, aged care and respite options.” Mrs McKay said that in addition to improvements to quality care, respite and support options, she would like to see dementia research given similar priority to other chronic health conditions. Deputy Director at the Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis at the University of Canberra’s National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM) Professor Laurie Brown said the significance of these new, national dementia figures could not be underestimated. “What these figures show is an alarming upward trend of not only the number of people likely to be living with dementia over the next 40 years, but also the tremendous economic impact this will have on the entire Australian population. Not to mention the lasting social impact on those living with dementia, their carers and family and friends,” Professor Brown said. “A whole-of-community approach to risk reduction, and better co-ordinated care, along with a boost to research, is going to be needed if we are to curb the rise in people living with dementia by 2056.” The National Dementia Helpline is: 1800 100 500 (An interpreter service is available).

Nominate our golden oldies for seniors award

MEMBER FOR Lismore, Thomas George MP has

called for nominations for the 2017 NSW Seniors Local Achievement Awards.

“Seniors help make our local community stronger and better,” Mr George said. “The NSW Seniors Local Achievement Awards are an opportunity to thank a senior for everything they do. “We are calling on people to nominate seniors who are making a real difference to the lives of those around them.” Mr George said seniors are valued and respected members of the community and provide many local services. “Whether it is volunteering for a charity, lending a helping hand to a local sporting club or caring for a loved one, older Australians do so much to make our families and communities stronger,” Mr George said. The 2017 NSW Seniors Local Achievement Awards will celebrate seniors’ achievements in a range of categories, including business, environment, science, agriculture, health and wellbeing, learning and community service. Nominations for the 2017 NSW Seniors Local Achievement Awards are open from Monday, February 20 – Tuesday, February 28. They will be presented as part of NSW Seniors Festival, held March 3 to 12. Nomination forms are available by contacting my office on (02) 6621 3624 or lismore@ parliament.nsw.gov.au. For more information, go to www. nswseniorsfestival.com.au/

Sticky situation for 25-tonne excavator A RACE was on to successfully retrieve a sinking 25-tonne excavator out of a creek bed in South Murwillumbah last week - and there’s no job too big for locals. Tweed Heads Firefighters and Hazmat crews responded to assist several other Murwillumbahbased Fire Crews with stabilising and eventually retrieving the massive machine. Another excavator was used to assist with the retrieval. “A 25 Tonne excavator was stuck in a creek, crews pumped water from around the excavator & laid booms to stop any environmental damage to the creek,” FRNSW 468 said on social media today. “Another excavator was brought in to assist with the removal. Nobody was injured in the incident.” It was unknown why the excavator was in the area or whether it collapsed the edge of the river bank. The successful extraction operation took several hours.

Tweed to benefit from cross-border agreement FIRE AND Rescue NSW (FRNSW) and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) have signed off a formal agreement that will allow for cross-border collaboration in a major emergency. Commanders from FRNSW and QFES signed the agreement on Friday, February 17. To mark the signing of the agreement, FRNSW Northern Rivers Zone Commander, Superintendent Greg Lewis, and QFES Chief Superintendent, Brad Commens, joined fire crews from Tweed Heads and Bilinga at Point Danger. The new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Mutual Aid Agreement (MAA) will allow resources of both states to be instantly mobilised across the border in response to major emergencies. FRNSW Acting Commissioner Jim Hamilton said the agreement would provide Tweed-Coolangatta communities with a rapid response of resources from both agencies during major structural fires. “This agreement formalises an arrangement already in place between the two states and will allow for a seamless response from NSW or Queensland to any major fire emergency in the Tweed Coast border area,” Acting Commissioner Hamilton said. “Under this ‘invisible border’ agreement,

FRNSW crews will be ready and waiting to attend and assist and welcome the support of Queensland Fire and Emergency Services at major incidents in NSW. “This is a great example of FRNSW working together with our counterparts in Queensland to provide an even greater level of fire protection and emergency response to communities between Tweed Heads and Coolangatta.” QFES Commissioner Katarina Carroll said the renewed MOU would provide increased and more effective response capacity for communities without being affected by barriers associated with the state border. “We work closely with our neighbouring fire and rescue authorities to ensure effective arrangements are in place so that we can provide support to each other when it is needed,” Ms Carroll said. “QFES and FRNSW resources will now be able to provide an automatic response to incidents without the need to seek executive approval. “This milestone agreement is a great example of interstate and inter-service collaboration and will ensure both agencies can deliver a first-class service to the community.”

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Chief Superintendent Brad Commens and Fire and Rescue NSW Superintendent Greg Lewis.

Blackouts and how you can better protect yourself

THERE HAS been a number of blackout’s recently in the northern rivers region from our inclement weather and severe thunderstorms. A common misconception is that if you have Solar on your roof and there is a blackout during the day, your system should still work right? The answer is NO, it will not unless you have a battery connected to the system with a back-up function. In the event of a blackout your inverter will automatically turn off and disconnect. This is a integrated safety feature that is compulsory on all solar inverters that are connected to the grid in order to protect the safety workers from getting electrocuted from your solar system. One way to better protect your energy supply is by adding a battery system to your existing or new solar system. Batteries such as the new TESLA Powerwall 2 has its own integrated back up function in built to the system, which means that it will automatically switch on your inverter and power only your house in the event of a blackout, whilst not sending any power back to the grid.

Brett Swales at LJ Hooker Kingscliff is your Agent of the Week HAVING RETURNED from a working holiday overseas, LJ Hooker Kingscliff Real Estate Agent Brett Swales moved to Tweed Heads in the early 1990s where he worked for a local land survey company by day and studied a diploma in real estate by night. “I started my real estate career in 1992 and obtained my license in 1995,” he said. “I have extensive experience also in commercial property and development sites. My passion for property and background in surveying extends outside of work where my partner and I undertake renovations, spec builds and small subdivisions. Property is in my blood.” Mr Swales said he has a passion for the Tweed Coast for both the lifestyle and family appeal. “My love of the beaches on the Tweed Coast and the laidback lifestyle were both attractions that made me settle here some 27 years ago, to start a family,” he said. Mr Swales is a top real estate agent and has made some million-dollar plus property sales including being involved one at Urliup recently. “I was involved in the recent sale of Urliup Farm at Urliup, which was 109 acres with beautiful scenery and wonderful history in the original gatehouse,” he said.

“The property was photographed at 6.20am just as the sun came up and the photos were amazing. The property traded to interstate buyers for $1,070,000.” Mr Swales has also given a range of tips for selling real estate across the Tweed. “Whilst it’s a sellers’ market the same fundamentals apply as for any other area – speak with three agents before selecting the one that demonstrates they can effectively market your property through traditional, social and digital media,” he said. “Make sure they have energy and have a track record of achieving strong sale prices. Presentation is paramount and professional photography a must. “Agents generally are complaining about a lack of stock on their books (both to sell and rent) which typically means we have a strong sellers’ market. “We are sitting back to see if we are in fact in the peak (price wise) of the current property cycle.” For a no obligation chat about your residential or commercial property please call Brett from LJ Hooker Kingscliff on 0424 507 005.

Housing affordability remains high on the agenda as rents rise A HOUSING affordability report released by CoreLogic earlier this the month highlights rising house prices across the Tweed and the highest rent to income ratios in the state. Housing affordability continues to be a major talking point with Premier Gladys Berejiklian vowing to address the issue. According to the report the past five years has seen house prices rise by 19 percent whilst incomes have rose by only 9.2 per cent. Low mortgage rates have fueled increased demand for housing, whilst rising house prices have increased the deposit required to purchase a home. Another factor identified from the report is poor returns for investors from other options such as cash, bonds and commodities. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics investors comprise 47 per cent of mortgage demand nationally and in NSW investors make up more than 55 per cent of new mortgages. The report also identified stamp duty as a barrier for entering the housing market as well as a lack of decentralisation forcing people to live close to a major city or centre. Housing affordability is a complex issue and the report identified that a solution requires cooperation from all levels of government.

severely unaffordable. As of September 2016, the price to income ratio in the Richmond-Tweed region was 8.6. Only two regional areas within NSW were higher, the Central Coast at 8.8 per cent and Southern Highlands 8.9. This figure is much higher than the national average of 6.9 and there are parts of Sydney that are more affordable than the Tweed with Sydney City and Inner South having a ratio of 8.4 and Sutherland 8.6. This figure has been rising during the past 16 years with regional NSW having a ratio of 4.2 in 2001 (current ratio is 6.6).

Richmond-Tweed report Price to income ratio The price to income ratio is the ratio of property prices to annual income with a higher number indicating reduced affordability. Figures above a ratio of 5 are considered to be

As of September 2016, the national price to income ratio was 6.9. Houses were higher at 7.2 and units 6.4. These figures are significantly higher than 15 years ago when the national ratio was 4.3 (4.2 for houses and 4.8 for units). The recent slowing of median price growth has seen both measures fall a little from their recent peaks.

Proportion of household income required for a 20 per cent deposit To save a 20 per cent deposit requires 138.9 per cent of a household’s income in September 2016. Houses require143.2 per cent and units 128.9 per cent. In September 2001 it took 85.9 per cent of a household’s income to purchase a home, with figures of 83.4 per cent for a house and 95.7 per cent for units. The data shows that as property prices have continued to surge it has become increasingly difficult to save for a deposit.

Proportion of household income required to service an 80 per cent LVR mortgage

Proportion of household income required for a 20 per cent deposit

“Clearly, addressing the issue of housing affordability is a complex task which is multidimensional, multidisciplinary and requires the cooperation of local, state and federal governments as well as the private sector,” the report reads. “What is particularly required is a coordinated housing policy coupled with a strategy that blends land release, zoning changes, infrastructure development and decentralizing employment opportunities into areas where housing costs are substantially lower.” The CoreLogic Housing Affordability report looks at four areas that impact affordability; the ratio of dwelling prices to annual household income, proportion of household income required to service a mortgage, to save a 20 per cent deposit and to pay the rent.

Price to income ratio

The percentage of income required to save a 20 per cent deposit in the Richmond-Tweed area was 171 per cent. This is well above the national average of 139 per cent and again there are parts of Sydney that are more affordable including Outer Sydney and the City and Inner South at 167 per cent. The percentage has also been rising with households in regional NSW needing 84 per cent in 2001 (currently 133 per cent). Proportion of household income required to service an 80 per cent LVR mortgage A large proportion of household income is required to service an 80 per cent LVR mortgage with a figure of 45 per cent. Again this is well above the national average of 37 per cent and there are parts of Sydney that have a lower proportion. In regional NSW this figure has dropped since 2011 where it was 45 per cent, but only 26 per cent in 2001 (current is 133 per cent).

Proportion of household income required to pay rent The Richmond-Tweed region has the highest proportion of household income required to pay rent in the entire state. The figure is a whopping 40 per cent, which is 11 per cent above the national average. In Sydney the figure varies from 24 to 35 per cent depending on location. This is the only figure for regional NSW that has reduced when in 2004 it was 32 per cent and is currently 30 per cent.

National report

To service an 80 per cent LVR mortgage a household spend 36.8 per cent of their income. Houses required a higher figure of 38 per cent with 34.2 per cent for units. In September 2001 it took only 26.8 per cent of household income to service a mortgage with a figure of 26 per cent for a house and 29.8 per cent for units.

Proportion of household income required to rent a home

Proportion of household income required to pay rent Renters spent 29.0 per cent of their household income on rent in September 2016. There has been little change in the proportion of household income required to pay rent.

A NEW EXHIBITION at Tweed Regional Gallery delves deeper into the celebration of town halls across the Northern Rivers and the stories they inspire. The exhibition, Tumbulgum and the Countdown to Midnight at the First Supper Between Now and Forever, is on display at the Gallery from February 17 to May 21 and draws from the research for a multi-arts project entitled If These Halls Could Talk. The Arts Northern Rivers project celebrates halls and the role they play in communities. The Northern Rivers is a region of villages, most with a hall that lay at their heart. Some sit proud on hills, some are nestled on river banks, but all are places of stories and keepers of secrets. Arts Northern Rivers invited people to nominate their local hall to be included in the project and more than 120 nominations were received. Tumbulgum Hall was one of just seven selected to have a renowned artist or creative team collaborate with the community to create a site-specific work inspired by the unique narrative of their hall. International and locally renowned artists and creative teams worked together in an ambitious program of

LOVERS of murder mysteries are in for a shock when the Murwillumbah Theatre Company presents the brilliant Tom Stoppard farce The Real Inspector Hound from March 17 to April 1. When feuding theatre critics Moon and Birdboot come to review a new Agatha Christie-like whodunit, they become implicated in the lethal atrocities of a suspected escaped madman. Drawn into the ludicrous plot, they reluctantly become part of the conflict on stage. The critics become players, and the players critics. The murder mystery, the play-withina-play, is set at Muldoon Manor, a typical stage for the detective genre. A stately old house perched on the high cliffs amongst desolate marshes, the perfect setting for nefarious goings-on. Tom Stoppard is considered England’s greatest living playwrights and screenwriters. He was awarded a Tony for his play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead in 1968. Stoppard also received an Oscar for his contribution to the film Shakespeare in Love. The Real Inspector Hound is one of Stoppard’s most-performed plays, with an intriguing plot that blurs the boundaries between actor, audience and critic. It is an example of Theatre of the Absurd, a style of writing that highlights the meaningless of human existence.

The Real Inspector Hound is a sidesplitting spoof on plays such as Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, poking fun at actors, critics and the constabulary alike. What starts as a preposterous thriller, ends as a real-life exposé. The Real Inspector Hound will be staged at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre on March 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26, 31 and April 1. Night-time shows start at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm. Seating will be cabaret style and patrons are invited to bring their own food and drinks. For further information and tickets, go to murwillumbahtheatrecompany. com or purchase from Electronics Murwillumbah in Main Street, Murwillumbah (cash only) or at the door. For enquiries, please phone Lesley on 6672 6753

Auditions for Travelling North The Murwillumbah Theatre Company is holding auditions on Monday, March 6 for their Travelling North production which will be performed later in the year. Travelling North by David Williamson deals with issues of family, finding a purpose in life and responses to death.

The theatre company requires three males and five females aged from 20 to 73 years. Training and practical hands on opportunities in all aspects of theatre craft, such as sound and lighting, stage management, wardrobe design and development and set building are also offered by the company. Auditions for Travelling North by David Williamson will be held on Monday, March 6 at 7pm at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre Auditorium. Travelling North will be performed in May/June 2017 and rehearsals will be twice a week in the evenings as well as some weekends. Please direct cast enquiries to Penny Irving, Director on 0437 397 617 and opportunities for hands on backstage work to Dianne at robinsdiga@gmail. com.

TROUBLED AMERICA Two movies coming to town from the US deal with the problematic sides of American culture and society. Moonlight directed by Berry Jenkins – which has received eight Academy Award nominations – delves into one of the big questions: what does it mean to be black in America today? Adapted from a short theatre piece poetically titled “In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue”, the film reminds us of the 2014 film, Richard Linklater’s Boyhood, as it takes a serious look at a young man’s evolution over time – but in this case the protagonist is a black and gay man. The story of Chiron is told in three chapters that cover the course of 16 years and it stars three remarkable actors playing the protagonist at different stages of his life. The story of Chiron’s experience makes the film not only an instant landmark in gay black cinema, but will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with identity in a lonely world. Under the Gun is a sobering documentary about the events and the people who have kept the gun debate fierce and its progress slow in the US, even as gun deaths and mass shootings continue to increase. Since Michael Moore’s expose’ of the issue in Bowling for Columbine not much has changed, and the firearms industry’s lobbying group still has a stronghold on the political debate. Through the lens of families impacted by mass shootings in several States, the documentary gives a human face to a crisis that is scarring the conscience of a nation.

Tweed author revisits life in India

RISING AUTHOR Hebe de Souza of Burringbar has published ‘Black British,’ a novel based on her childhood in Kanpur, India in the 1960s and the tumultuous years that followed the collapse of the British Raj. Her ancestors migrated from the Portuguese colony of Goa on the west coast of India to Kanpur in Northern India, part of the British Empire. Their migration took place in the late 1800s and they travelled over 2,000 kilometres. The journey was epic. It involved walking to the nearest port, taking a row boat into the Arabian Sea, a sail boat to the Port of Bombay and a bullock cart to Central India where it was so hot even the bullocks couldn’t cope so a camel caravan was needed. The remaining journey was by foot. Arriving in British India, Hebe says her family had to adapt to prevailing conditions. To achieve success, which is what they’d come for, they had to forgo their language, customs, food and everything that makes up a culture. They had to speak English, sing English songs, live in English houses and

always ‘have something to fall back on if times got hard’. As time passed it was clear to her parents that in spite of higher education there was no future for the family in India. The decision to migrate was made. Their mansion was destined to become a Saint Mother Teresa orphanage which has spawned at least two Silicon Valley graduates. In the 1970s Australia was looking for English speaking immigrants to fill professional jobs. Australia welcomed

people from Commonwealth countries whose mother tongue was English and who had an Anglo background. Citizenship was granted following just one year’s residency. Hebe’s parents were offered citizenship based solely on the fact all their children were now Australian nationals. Hebe says, “Australia was a very welcoming country in the 1970s and we are very happy we made our home here.” Black British can be found in leading bookshops and major libraries.

Help bring Art Trail to life in May

A CROWD funding appeal has been launched by the Murwillumbah Art Trail (MAT) which will take over the streets of Murwillumbah in May. The appeal is hoping to raise $10,000 in 24 days and is being conducted in partnership with the Australia Cultural Fund. The Murwillumbah Art Trail is an exhibition of contemporary art that showcases over 60 artists from the Tweed Valley and surrounds. From May 25 to 30, the town and shops will become a gallery and visitors are invited to follow the exhibition trail. The trail includes established galleries, artists’ studios, pop up galleries in empty shops, a sculpture park, a building projection, experimental film shorts and public art as well as a program of exciting evening events and guided tours.. “The intention of MAT is to provide exhibiting opportunities for the many

artists in our area and connect them with audiences. It also aims to contribute to the economic invigoration of the town centre by utilising empty shops as exhibition space,” MAT curator Annie Long said. This year, being the third year, MAT has taken a necessary leap forward and engaged a business manager to develop a viable business model to take the event into the future. Current sponsors include, Mount Warning Tours, Destination Tweed, Mt Warning Spring Water, Tweed Shire Council, EcOasis, Arts Northern Rivers and Jujus. All donations, whether $25 or $2,500, are tax deductible as it is through the Australian Culture Fund.

take on all aspects of a British India life. In time, she says, “They forgot their language, their music, their dances, everything. To all intents and purposes they became British. They had to. They had to become Black British!” But what happened to Hebe’s immediate family, in 1947 when the Empire collapsed and India gained independence. The story of Black British starts in 1958. It’s an exposé of a Goan family’s very English lifestyle against the backdrop of an emerging India and is very closely aligned to Hebe’s own life. It follows their life of privilege where home was an ancestral mansion. Because the family were seen as black British and left over from an exploitive regime, the local people were hostile believing Hebe’s family had no place in the new India. “We lived with an ever present threat of kidnap, and assault,” Hebe says. “It was like living under siege, the windows were barred, street facing entries were reinforced, and wandering the grounds were geese and dogs always on alert. High security walls encircled the house and the park-like grounds.” Hebe says, her book is very different from other books set in India. Contrary to popular myths about Indian women, Hebe’s mother and aunts were strong-minded women so Lucy, the main character, and her sisters grow up with healthy self-respect and a high sense of entitlement. They were all encouraged into a profession so they’d

A STEADY week for river fishing – keeping out of the wind having been a major objective. Now that it is more settled, try around the bridges and other structures for Flathead – Pig Lures still the best. Bass in the Hinze Dam and around Stokers Siding for Bream. Some decent sized Tailor – over 1 kg – off the beaches. Metal lures are always popular – try the Bumpa Bars on special at Tweed Tackle & Marine. They’re also great offshore for Mackerel and most fish! Gutters along the southern beaches have produced Dart and Whiting south of Kingscliff. Worms and Pipis are the best – get live beach worms daily from Tweed Tackle & Marine. Offshore has been quieter with much of the action moving north to Palmy Reef and north along the gold Coast. The Nine Mile and South Reef have still been producing Wahoo, Spanish Mackerel and GTs and the 32s have given up Squire and Kingfish.

Featured Business REIKI and HYPNOTHERAPY ~ A HOLISTIC APPROACH Albert Einstein said: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them”. Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master/Teacher & Metaphysician Create new, positive, permanent, life changing thought patterns with hypnosis. Can’t sleep? Desperate to quit smoking? Exasperated with your weight? Anxious? Needing self-esteem & confidence? Limited by fears & phobias? Let hypnotherapy change you and your life for good! OUR sub-conscious makes up 95-98% of our mind and contains a “mental movie” of everything that has happened in our lives. This is where our habits, behaviour, conditioning, feelings, fears, etc. based on our past experiences are stored. We unconsciously draw on those old, unwelcomed, ‘familiar’ beliefs & attitudes until new ones are introduced. This is where Hypnotherapy comes in! To help increase and rebalance your energy flow and release blockages, as well as promoting wellbeing on every level, a Reiki treatment may be just what you need! Michelle has dedicated the past 25 years of her life helping people, transform, attain personal growth and higher levels of self-awareness. Her understanding of metaphysics offers holistic insight, clarity and simplicity to seemingly complicated issues. Call today to make the change that heals.

Youth of the Year Quest begins THE MURWILLUMBAH Lions Club has named local student Livinia Currant the winner of the 2017 Murwillumbah Lions Club final of the Youth of the Year Quest. Livi is a student at Wollumbin High School and beat off her nearest rivals and contestants Isobel Waugh and Nitara Broughton, both from Mt St Patrick College. The Club Final saw all three contestants deliver outstanding speeches as well as excellent performances in the interview process and impromptu question section. The Youth of the Year Quest is an annual Lions event, held throughout Australia, where students are judged not only on their public speaking skills, but also on leadership, sporting and cultural activities, citizenship and community involvement, personality, general knowledge and academic attainment. The aim of the event is to select an outstanding youth to be an ambassador for his/her country and travel overseas under the auspices of Lions Club International.

The Quest provides the opportunity for many youths to experience and develop interview and communication skills at the age when they are about to enter fields of employment or higher education. Our judges for this year were Patsy Lucas (chairperson), Sharon Dixon (manager NAB Murwillumbah), and Troy Green (General Manager Tweed Shire Council). The judges commented that all three contestants performed at a very high standard and in the final scoring there was only one point between the three contestants. Livi will now represent the Murwillumbah Lions Club at the Zone B Final, being held at the Cudgen Leagues Club on Saturday, March 4. The public speaking sections commence at 2pm. Any members of the public wishing to attend this event please call Helen Stubbin on 66728285 for catering purposes. The Youth of the Year Quest is sponsored annually by the National Australia Bank.

Firefighters to extinguish a small caravan fire at Bilambil that threatened to spread on the weekend. The Tweed Heads crew were first to arrive in support of the Bilambil Rural Fire Service, when they found a caravan engulfed by flames and spreading to surrounding grass and sugar cane fields. “The caravan was totally destroyed and about an acre of grass and cane was burnt out,” a statement from the firefighters said on social media. “A house on the property was threatened but the fire was cut off before involving the house.” Bilambil RFS had two trucks in attendance and all crews worked well in extremely hot conditions to prevent the fire spreading to the house on the property.

TWEED BYRON LAC is offering members of the community the

opportunity have a Coffee with a Cop today, Thursday February 23, from 10am.

The event aims to bring the community and police force together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships, and drink coffee. The majority of contact law enforcement has with the public happen during emergencies, or emotional situations. These situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community, and some community members may feel that officers are unapproachable on the street. Coffee with a Cop breaks down barriers and allows for a relaxed, oneon-one interaction. “We hope that community members will feel comfortable to ask questions, bring concerns, or simply get to know our officers,” said Superintendent Wayne Starling. “These interactions are the foundation of community partnerships.” Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by The United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Similar events are being held across NSW, as local police commands strive to make lasting connections with the communities they serve. The program aims to advance the practice of community policing through improving relationships between police officers and community members one cup of coffee at a time. All community members are invited to attend. The event begins at 10am today, February 23 at The McDonalds Store Minjungbal Drive Tweed Heads South. Please contact Brad Foster with questions: 07 5536 0986, or Email:32221@police.nsw.gov.au

Late break away secures a fiercely contested win

KINGSCLIFF WOMEN’S recent Open Fours final was a fiercely contested close event. Sandra Akers (S), Di James, Elaine Downes and Julie Cowie were challenging Brenda Jack (S), Robyn Fuller, Aileen McNamara and Jenny White for supremacy. Team Jack was in front with a narrow margin for the first twelve ends with the lead then alternating over the next few ends. Team Akers picked up a multiple on the 17th end to snatch a narrow lead, then carried on scoring to break away and take the game with a comfy margin. Condong’s FUNdraising Day in aid of Wedgetail Retreat resulted in being a huge success. 100 + raffles donated by local and beyond business houses was much appreciated. Entertainment in the club house, coupled with music on the greens, created a wonderful atmosphere that guaranteed a super fun day would be thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Proceeds from the event, including green fees donated by the club, amounted to a whopping $3400+ being raised for this very worthy cause. Congratulations to the Condong folk on this fantastic effort.

Mark Reynolds, Kim Stephan and Steve Walgers on Corsair “Keenas” got the loudest cheer for persevering to the finish line a little while after everyone else despite 2 capsizes and novice crew. Glenn Slight took 1st in the marathon race on Saturday and in the final presentation on Sunday TVSC’s Gary McCrohon (Laser) and Monique Smith (Corsair) again walked away with prizes for 2nd and 3rd places respectively in their monohull division. What really counts is that everyone got to enjoy a weekend away together - the social side of sailing is a big part of being a TVSC member. If you would like to join them drop Dave Chester a line at tvscmail@gmail.com - adult courses are planned sometime between April and June.

YOUTH LEAGUE (12-16 years)

With a school at camp and a number of others unable to attend due to illness and other commitments last week, we still had an incredible roll up of 21 eager players ready to go, including a number of new faces. Word has spread among the schools and we are seeing a lot of interest generated. We will have the numbers to commence competition play in the next couple weeks.

MINIBALL (8-11 years)

There has been a lot of enquiries for miniball. Miniball is a basically normal basketball, ideal for those who have come through our Aussie Hoops program. It’s for ages 8-12 years. We are discussing when to run this as we are very restricted by days and court availability. It does involve parents as team managers and is a fun way for this age group to learn before stepping up to Youth League. Once we have a day of the week and sufficient volunteers to assist with the running of Miniball, we will make an announcement on our Facebook page (Murwillumbah Basketball Association) and in this column. Until next week, Happy Ballin’.
