Call for more consultation on phone tower “As with most projects, location can often be a tricky topic, but I am confident the proponent and the residents can work together to achieve the best outcome.” Vodafone’s media team said in a statement that they have already undertaken community consultation and were working with Tweed Shire Council. “Vodafone is working to expand the mobile network around Banora Point to meet growing demand for reliable and high-performing mobile services,” a spokesperson for Vodafone said. The spokesperson said following extensive scan of the area and taking into account feedback received, the site on Terranora Road was found to be the “only site that can provided the improved services the local community wants and needs”. The proposed tower site is within close proximity to the Banora Point School grounds, which has sparked concern from some parents. “To ensure members of the local community had the opportunity to have their say, we held an extensive preapplication consultation period,” the Vodafone spokesperson said. “We thank the community for their feedback which helped inform the development application lodged with Tweed Council.” The spokesperson said Vodafone takes a range of factors into consideration before selecting a potential site for a new mobile tower, including the proximity to local residences and businesses, any potential environmental or visual impact,

and whether that site is the best location to provide mobile services. “ T h e r e a r e s t r i c t r e g u l at o r y requirements and health standards all telecommunications operators must adhere to in relation to the design, siting and operation of mobile facilities. We comply with all our obligations,” the Vodafone spokesperson said. “We’re committed to working closely with Tweed Council and the local community to get the best possible balance between delivering improved services, and addressing any concerns raised.”

A TWEED Shire love story has surfaced just in time for Valentine’s Day today (February 14) following an appeal by The Weekly for residents to share how they met and fell madly in love. The Weekly received an email from Damian who met the love of his life only eight months ago and having now settled in Uki, the couple are expecting their first child. “I am writing to tell you about the love of my life Lorraine from Ireland,” Damien said. “We met only eight months ago and have been engaged since this last Christmas eve and now only six months till the birth of our baby boy to be named Paddy-Joe due on August 8.” Damien said he came across the “lovely Lorraine” at the strike of midnight while gathered around a camp fire at Byron Bay. “I wandered up to a campfire and it was her beautiful Irish accent that stole my heart, the voice of a cursing angel,” Damien said.

“It was quite dark on the night and I wasn’t even sure of her appearance. “When I rocked up at a backpackers the very next day without having slept, where she mentioned she lived, I thought I could offer her work which I knew she needed. “Planting ginger on my farm to lure her in I thought, so I invited her away on a camping trip to Maleny on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and suprised her with a night at the Treetops BnB in Montville overlooking the coast from high in the mountains. “As providence should have after talking briefly with a friend of a friend of mine I found myself in the possession of a five carrot blue sapphire, her birth stone, which was picked by hand in a river down in Tasmania.” Damian said without a clear plan for the stone, but with a special girl now in mind he carried the stone with him. “It sits on the table in an express post envelope sent to me unbeknown to Lorraine at this time,” he said.

The couple now live together at Uki where they have formed the busking duo Drainbow & Amnesia the clowns. “With my two daughters Pluto, 3, and Dandilion, 6, just started at Uki Steiner School we are an instant family,” he said. “We will be wed in a month’s time at the Murwillumbah Catholic Church.”

By Jonathon Howard A PROPOSED mobile phone tower near the Banora Point Public School on Terranora Road, is being debated by locals who have expressed concerns with the proximity of the tower to the school. According to the development application the proposed tower is 250 metres from the Banora Point School and NSW Education outlines a minimum requirement of 500-metre buffer zone. Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said he has listened to local concerns and is now calling for more community consultation before the tower goes ahead. Mr Provest said he was calling on the tower proponent, Vodafone, to undertake broader community consultation following concerns raised by teachers, parents and residents. However, in a statement from a Vodafone spokesperson the company said it had already completed its consultation phase and was now working with Tweed Shire Council on the next steps. “It will be fantastic to have better mobile coverage in Banora Point, but the school and concerned residents have been clear in their desire to be consulted before the development proceeds,” Mr Provest said. “I will also be writing to Tweed Council to ask them the defer consideration on the Development Application until further consultation can take place.

I’m laughing out loud here

The electoral and practical folly of trying to site the new Tweed Valley Hospital at Kingscliff appears to have finally registered with the Berejiklian government, eliciting countermeasures which, if they weren’t so pathetic, would be downright hilarious. First we have the high-profile visits with the Premier herself and her Nationals Deputy staging “community consultation” to which only Kingscliff site supporters appeared to be invited. Then the barrage of letters to the local papers from the site supporters, the majority of whom would appear to need a cut lunch and a thermos to get within a bull’s roar of Kingscliff. Finally, after 10 months of evasion and denial, last weekend’s triumphant announcement from the National’s Geoff Provest that the current Tweed hospital site will be retained for “medical services” and that parking at the proposed new site will be free. The parking news will be a kick in the teeth for at least one parking station hopeful, as will the retention of the current site for the local wannabes with eyes on its’ future residential development. The retention for “medical services” a necessity as the Kingscliff site is far too small for planned ancillary services. All of which would seem to reinforce what Kingscliff locals have known from day one; That the Cudgen Road site has nothing to do with building the best hospital and everything to do with facilitating the residential development of the Cudgen Plateau by the Nationals’ land-banking mates.

A regional swimming complex for fitness, fun and rehabilitation purposes. Our cinema brings facets of the world to our community. I enjoy dining at the excellent choice of restaurants and cafes we have and have walked around our town at all hours, without incident for two decades. Parents have so many excellent schools to choose from for their children and every sport and after school activity is all available within this town. Families enjoy the wonderful recreational area in Knox Park for celebrations. We have a first-class art gallery, with constantly amazing exhibits. We are enriched by a vibrant multicultural community. We accept those who are unwell, mentally, physically and spiritually. Yes, like every urban community, everywhere, there are incidents that are appalling and activities that are illegal. However, I am one of many who love living in this very beautiful and iconic town.

Housing must consider pets

Whilst I have spent many years rescuing and helping homeless dogs and cats, I also feel desperately for any person that falls on hard times and finds themselves homeless, sleeping rough or in a situation where they feel unsafe and need to leave. I applaud council for investigating the concept of a social and affordable housing development and I am particularly in favour of tiny homes.

But this housing needs to be situated near public transport and other essential services. And there also needs to be a lot more done at the state level to provide safe and affordable housing. However, we need to be inclusive of all those in need not just some. We need to provide for those with disabilities and for whole families, and that includes the homeless who have pets and domestic violence victims who need safe housing with all their family. The inability to secure pet friendly accommodation is a significant factor in increased homelessness, and also with domestic violence victims not leaving an unsafe situation. These pets play an extremely important role within their daily lives, providing stability, comfort, c o m p a n i o n s h i p, e m o t i o n a l support and security. It has also been discovered that having a pet is linked to decreased use of drugs and alcohol, and a decrease in risky behaviour, since individuals fear losing their pet. Susie Hearder, Animal Justice Party Candidate for the Tweed

We deserve straight answers

Communities deserve nothing less than truth and transparency from elected representatives and government agencies. Not being misled and conned by political spin and the shameful sham being splashed around on the hospital fiasco, much of the misinformation coming from politicians, government and their band wagon. Contrary to the state member’s claim of free parking the hospital EIS discloses under management of car parking the fees structure. And contrary to the big announcement claiming the existing Tweed Heads Hospital will be kept in public hands for medical services, the government just days before in fact released its formal report in response to submissions outlining the developments as suitable land uses on the vacated site. Further, the report states “a community health facility located in or close to Tweed Heads town centre”, this repeated in several sections with no reference of the Tweed Hospital. The many hospital concept designs, artist impressions and nine storey concepts are just that, nothing more. There are yet to be any approvals and as such any concepts are irrelevant to actual non-existing hospital DA where the devil in the detail will be revealed. The government has stated the initial hospital will be doubled in size along with incorporating other allied health services and facilities

to the area. Currently development on the selected site is prohibited under NSW regulations and what is proposed is the Tweed LEP is to be amended by removing the existing RU1 zoning so that development is permissible and remove existing maximum height of building and minimum lot size and floor space ratio controls. The Tweed LEP is proposed to have no maximum height controls on this site and be left open to future assessment on DA application. Amongst the many volumes of pages in the EIS the heights are up to AHD + 67.1m. The claim that redevelopment of the Tweed Heads Hospital is ludicrous is contrary to the facts of extensive formal records and public reporting of the endorsed redevelopment Master Plan (not studies) and was indeed still in train until a mere 10 weeks prior to the minister’s sudden announcement of a new hospital. Lindy Smith, Tweed Heads

Issues at beach access points

Your article and the letters to the editor about the illegal camping at Pottsville raised a number of issues about how Council deals with this activity. From my experience the vast majority of illegal camping are not from the homeless. I commend the Council for increasing ranger patrols in the area, but there is a limit to how much time they can spend doing this, they can’t be there 24/7. The real problem with the area on Tweed Coast Road between Pottsville Bridge and Wooyung is the parking and beach access points along the road. There has been no change to the infrastructure since the 1970s when I first came here. The way the beach access points have been constructed with sand tracks in and out of the dunes on one side and dirt tracks into the bush on the creek side, actively encourages people to set up illegal camps as well as illegal dumping of rubbish. The whole place is an untidy mess that has resulted in significant environmental damage to the area. All of these tracks need to be closed off and properly sealed car parking made either on the roadside or at various points along the coast, particularly near popular Black Rocks beach area. Bill Green, Pottsville

Thank you to hospital staff

Recently I had a fall which necessitated an operation and a stay in Tweed Hospital for two weeks. I want to publicly thank the wonderful nurses who looked after me in surgical Ward 2.

They were always cheerful and helpful, even when doing unpleasant duties in the early days of my recuperation. Their love and care of the other patients, especially an elderly lady, was exceptional. Their smiles and encouragement helped me in my recuperation. You know who you are and I send you many, many thanks for your care. I then had a week in Murwillumbah Hospital and I thank the nurses and staff there also. Our nurses do not get the recognition for the great work they do, often in very trying circumstances. What would we do without these wonderful people? Thank you also to all the other staff who helped me in both hospitals. Patricia Brinson, Tweed Heads

Illegal campers: is there an easy solution?

Oh dear, John (Lee) you should be commended for your efforts and advocacy of the homeless. I understand your frustration and anger at the plight of the homeless around Australia. However, I did not mention the homeless in my letter to the editor concerning the number of illegal campers either side of the Tweed Coast Road between Pottsville and Wooyung. At one stage, there were no fewer than twelve such setups along this stretch of road with fires burning each night in a time of total fire bans. Are they passing through? No. More than one such camper was there for two weeks. In recent weeks, there has been a rapid increase in the number of mice and rats attributed to the rubbish left behind by such illegal campers, and the dry weather. Would I wish the homeless to set up camp here? No. Is there an easy solution? No. One man does not make a difference. It takes a whole community to bring about change. The Council increasing patrols at this late stage is like shutting the gate after the horse has bolted, but I guess better late than never. I was pleased to see in Tweed Valley Weekly that the Council is considering a better plan of action.

Farmers and landholders reject Rural Land Strategy in present form By Jonathon Howard A COMMITTEE representing a large number of rural landowners is staging a fresh push to change the Draft Rural Land Strategy (RLS) to include provisions for detached dwellings on 40-hectare lots zoned RU2, with the strategy set to go on public exhibition on Tuesday, February 19. The draft RLS outlines a proposal to raise the minimum lot size of some RU1 zones from 10 hectares to 40 hectare lots, which the group opposes. On Tuesday, February 5, a meeting of rural industry representatives, farmers and landowners voted unanimously to “reject Tweed Shire Council’s proposed RLS in its present form”. A statement to The Weekly said those landholders present at the meeting felt that the RLS did “not allow flexibility for farmers and landowners to manage their property appropriately to ensure future economic and environmental sustainability”. “Feedback from the meeting confirmed many rural industries are struggling to survive,” the letter read. “It is important rural landholders have the ability to better utilise their asset, to provide alternate nonagricultural, drought proof income.” While residents will be given a chance to provide comment and feedback on the RLS once it’s on public exhibition, many landholders are concerned the document is now more than six years old and getting “nowhere”. The letter highlighted that part of the RLS will reinforce the 40-hectare

minimum lot size, but many farmers including Tahl Jenkins, who farms 220 acres of livestock and cane, said Tweed Shire Council was “out of step” with surrounding councils. Mr Jenkins said if provisions were made to allow for detached dwellings on a merit-based application process, “farmers could create new revenue streams and lift themselves out of the continued cycle of financial struggles”. “I don’t like how out of step Tweed Shire Council is with neighbouring councils in how rural land is used,” he said. “Councils including Byron, Kyogle, Lismore, Casino and Tenterfield all allow detached secondary dwellings on rural land of 40 hectares. “These councils are setting an example but why is the Tweed Shire remaining behind the times on this matter?” Mr Jenkins’ comments were made during a follow up meeting with members of the Combined Tweed Rural Industries Association (CTRIA), who have formed a subcommittee to have their views heard by councillors. The committees letter outlined that “despite there being no evidence in the Tweed to suggest this will preserve farm land, and admissions by Tweed Shire Council staff to that effect, the current draft does not have any flexibility for smaller lot sizes”. Rural land in the Tweed Shire serves a range of functions and values including farming, environmental protection, tourism, rural industries and rural housing, according to Council’s website.

“In recent decades, continual pressure to change land uses and develop rural land has seen a noticeable transition in how it is being used, leading to conflict and uncertainty about the future of rural land,” Council’s website states. Landholders said some of the councillors were not recognising how much they were struggling. However, one councillor told The Weekly they had concerns about the rise in short-term holiday letting through websites such as Airbnb. The group agreed this could be an area for consideration, however they highlighted that a merit-based system of assessment including in the RLS could include provisions to prevent secondary detached dwellings from becoming short-term holiday lets. CTRIA president Colin Brooks, who has been fighting for changes to RU2 zoned land since the document was first assesses more than six years ago, said he continues to fight for local farmers and landowners. “I realise Councillors might be sick of hearing from me on this matter,” he said. “However, I remain passionate about this cause and feel that landholders are being treated unfairly. “Unless we have a flexible planning policy and merit-based assessment of land parcels the strategy will have a negative impact on farmers land owners.” Tweed Shire local Dion Andrews has also joined the group as media advisor to help communicate the needs of landholders.

“The comments made (above) by Colin, with many Councillors now sick of hearing from him, are part of the reason I’ve got involved in the association,” he said. “I believe council is not listening and I’m working on the association’s media and communications to get the message out there. The group said they want the introduction of a merit-based assessment for each property, as they highlighted that every parcel of land is different. “You should be able to put your case to council on its individual merits,” Mr Andrews said. “These changes could also provide dwellings for future generations of farmers and allows the aging farming society to retire on their farms.” Tweed Shire landowner Neil Baker said flexibility was needed in the RLS that reflects the current state of farming production. “The reality is far mers are struggling,” he said. “Unless we have the flexibility of the policy it will ensure farmers won’t survive.”

Cr Pryce Allsop attended the meeting this week and has been campaigning to include the views of farmers and landholders in the RLS. Cr Allsop highlighted the plight of local farmers who he said were struggling to make ends meet. “The reality is when you fall over in the agricultural sector today, you fall over hard,” he said. “There needs to be a merit-based system to assess each landholder’s application.” The group met on Tuesday, February 11, for a meeting facilitated by the Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber director Michael Simmons. “As a result of the meeting, the Murwillumbah and District Chamber has confirmed that former Lieutenant Colonel (ret’d) current barrister David Gower Freeman will be the facilitator for a public forum on the proposed Rural Land Strategy to be held in late February, with a date yet to be determined,” Mr Simmons said. “Once the date of this forum is set, both relevant Council staff and Councillors will be extended an invitation to attend.”

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Clubs questioned over junior sports fees What businesses should do when customers behave badly We hear plenty of stories of businesses acting badly when customers complain, but what happens when customer complaints go too far, when customers behave badly, make false claims, or seek to damage the reputation of the company unfairly? Geoff Baldwin, business lawyer with Stacks Law Firm, cites two examples of how airlines handled customers behaving badly. In the first, Ryanair was roundly criticised for its reaction when a white man racially abused a black woman sitting beside him and demanded she be moved to another seat. Cabin crew allegedly asked the woman to move and took no action against the racist abuser. It was all caught on video and plastered across social media. In the second, Southwest Airlines managed a sexual assault incident on one of its flights by moving the female victim to another seat, and had police waiting for the perpetrator when the plane landed. The airline was praised for acting promptly to protect the alleged victim and responding appropriately. “In Australia, work health and safety legislation places a duty on management to ensure the health and safety of everyone legally present in the workplace,” Mr Baldwin said. “This includes people who are not employees, such as customers, contractors, suppliers, agents and couriers. “If a customer is being abusive – as distinct from having a robust complaint – the manager has a legal obligation under the Act to do something about it. “However, there can be a disconnect between societal expectation and what is legally required of a business. For instance, in the Ryanair case it might have been simpler and safer to remove the victim from the situation rather than risk agitating the aggressor, even though that didn’t look good on the video that went viral.” Mr Baldwin points out that the difficulty in the real world is that some managers are reluctant to push customers around or ask them to leave, especially if there is a possibility of legal action. “Any actions or attempts to defuse a volatile situation must be both reasonable and proportionate to the problem, such as asking someone calmly to leave before taking the next step of calling the police,” he said. “What is clear is that while businesses do have a legal obligation to protect the health and safety of people on their premises, in practice it can be difficult to find a solution that appeases all parties involved, including the public.”

SPORTS CLUB committee members have spoken about the rising costs they face as parents express concerns about increases in registration fees for their children. There have been concerns that fees at some junior sports clubs had risen $100 since the introduction of the government’s $100, Active Kids Bonus however, the club’s The Weekly approached denied this was true, citing hikes in insurance, electricity and equipment costs for any rises. Vice President of Kingscliff District Football Club Mark Suhor said his club was a part of Football Gold Coast which has higher fees than Football Far North Coast. “Our fees jumped up $40 or $50 this year which was basically because our insurance, electricity costs and equipment costs all rose,” Mr Suhor told The Weekly. “We also have to pay for things like Council field usage, jerseys, referees (which have also gone up a little bit) and coaches. “You do have some external paid roles such as accounting because people don’t want to put their hands up to volunteer - people don’t have time. “The president and I probably do 60 hours a week as well as working full-time and a lot of clubs are the same.” Mr Suhor said the club’s association fees had also increased. “It’s $395 for eight to 11-year-olds for the year - there is about $120 in administration fees per player and then there is more for the team so it’s around $140 to 150 per player that goes in association fees,” he said. “Within that about a third goes to the Football Federation of Australia so that’s $40 or $50 a player and then about the same again goes to Football Queensland which is our state governing body. “That’s for about six hours per week there are coaches one night of the week for one to two hours per team that are paid coaches. “Football Far North Coast has slightly lower fees which is possibly because their state fees aren’t so high.” Mr Suhor said that football was more expensive than sports like rugby league because the NRL had lucrative television deals and could afford to give more back to junior grassroots clubs.

Bourne said that juniors at the club were only paying around $75 once the Active Kids Bonus was taken into account. “We’re pretty lucky as Country Rugby League pays for our insurance upfront which gives us a discount so our insurance is relatively low unlike sports like soccer,” Ms Bourne told The Weekly. “We pay minimal fees to Group 18 and Country Rugby League but they aren’t very large and have only risen about twice in 14 years. “I know the amount they have to pay to Football Federation of Australia is a lot.” Ms Bourne said if clubs have to maintain their own field that was a much larger expense. “We pay for electricity but we don’t have to pay to replace light fittings or for maintenance of the field or building - we share the field with other teams but pay a nominal winter fee,” she said. “Bilambil juniors have their own fields so they have to pay to mow lawn, rates water, or if a light blows and that can get expensive.” Ms Bourne said the club had managed to keep fees low through sponsorship and by shopping around for services and equipment. “We rely on sponsorship a lot and try to get any - we found it’s easier to ask a lot of people for a little money than a little group for a lot of money - which helps to keep our fees down,” she said. “It all adds up and pays for most of our gear so we can keep our fees down as we’re not having to charge for that. “We have training at night but I have shopped around and even though our electricity usage has gone up our bills are cheaper - we’ve changed a few times over the last few years and at the moment we are with Energy Locals and they are fantastic. “You really need to shop around for the gear. We provide ours as part of the registration fee - we shopped around to get a really good price and that hasn’t increased over the last few years - we are with Struddys and they have been great.” Mrs Bourne said that the club “just want the kids to be able to play”. “If our parents are struggling we are happy for them to pay in fortnightly installments,” she said. “With the Active Kids Bonus our kids are actually only playing $75 but we understand in some circumstances even that’s hard to find and we are happy for them to pay it off.

“After a child has played for five years in their sixth year the fees are discounted to $145 and stays there. After 10 years their tenth year is free. They get a tenyear service medal and we try to get the little ones to see that happening.” Hastings Point mother Jody Wood said the $100 Active Kids voucher from the government was “a bonus.” It costs my 14-year-old over $300 for AFL so it does get expensive - but I like sports where you pay it all up front,” she said. “There are some where they still pay if they don’t go like swimming. “Boardriders is really cheap but that’s only once a month whereas with AFL they train twice a week.” Ms Wood said her youngest son’s fees for the Tweed Coast Tigers AFL Northern Rivers Junior was $172. “That includes insurance, competition administration, umpiring, online processing and the club fees which included a t-shirt, hat etc ($70 worth) but we have to pay $35 for socks and shirts,” she said. “That’s $272 minus your $100 but you can’t put a price on sport - you will pay what you have to pay to get your kids to be active. “I’m sure there are payment plans if they don’t have the money up front. I do think that anytime up the Gold Coast it’s almost double in fees. “When my youngest son played soccer for Pottsville it was similar to the AFL fees.” Late last year SBS sports commentator Craig Foster criticised the rising registration fees for Australian football (soccer) clubs saying sport leagues should increase their funding for grassroots participation to make them more accessible. The Weekly contacted Football NSW, Football Qld and the Football Federation of Australia for comment on the increase in fees but none of the associations replied in time for the print deadline.

In brief ... Public invited to see proposed design

The building housing the Volunteer Marine Rescue NSW at Point Danger on the border is being demolished and replaced with an architecturally-designed operations room and offices for this emergency services provider. New public toilets will be part of the $2.14 million rebuild, jointly funded by City of Gold Coast and Tweed Shire Council (via a grant from the NSW Government’s NSW Restart program). A public meeting will be held at the South Sea Islander Room at the Tweed Shire Council Administrative Centre, Brett Street, Tweed Heads, on Tuesday 5 March from 5.30 – 7pm to discuss the proposed design and get the community’s feedback. All are welcome to attend to speak with the architect and staff from both councils about the proposed works.

Gold Coast Airport says ‘hello Tweed’

The Tweed Tourism Co. is partnering with Gold Coast Airport to look at new ways to remind airline passengers of all the beautiful reasons to come to the Tweed and say hello. The two signed a memorandum of understanding last week to create further opportunities for cross-border collaboration. More than 420 flights land at the airport every week, bringing visitors from New Zealand, Asia and other parts of Australia. The partnership connects the Tweed region to the Gold Coast International Airport through cooperative marketing campaigns, shared digital content and stakeholder engagement.

Consultant kicks off salt water protection investigation Specialist water consultant Hunter H2O has been engaged to assess options to protect the Tweed District Water Supply from salt water contamination. In May last year, Council formed a Project Reference Group to assist it to find a solution to the salt water contamination issue. The group identified a range of options, which the consultant will now assess. Those options include both engineering and nonengineering solutions to the problem. The Bray Park Weir Tidal Protection Project Reference Group comprises a wide range of community interests including landowners, dairy farmers, canegrowers, businesses that use water as a critical input, ratepayers, recreational fishers and two elected councillors. Throughout, all PRG members have stated that they also speak for the environment. Last week the consultants met with members of the Project

Reference Group to clarify the 10 options identified by the group as likely short-term fixes warranting further investigation. The consultants have been invited to propose up to three further options for investigation based on their extensive knowledge and expertise. Hunter H2O will investigate all the options against a set of criteria, which include maintaining the Tweed’s high water quality and security of supply as well as numerous environmental, social and legal considerations. At the conclusion of its investigations in about four months, Hunter H2O will report back to the Project Reference Group providing them with all the information they need to identify a preferred option to recommend to Council for adoption.

Switching lights at TRAC a dollar dazzler A switch to more energy-efficient lighting is set to make a big dent in energy usage at Tweed Regional Aquatic Centre (TRAC) Murwillumbah, thanks to an Australian Government grant. The $27,708 grant is through the Australian Government’s Community Sport Infrastructure Grants Program, which supports minor capital works projects that will improve local community sport infrastructure.

Ready to make the switch to energy savings at Tweed Regional Aquatic Centre Murwillumbah is Operations Coordinator Aquatic Facilities, Joanna Hogg.

Council’s Director Community and Natural Resources Tracey Stinson said more than 20 existing metal halogen lamps lighting the indoor section of TRAC will be replaced with LED lamps, saving an estimated 50 to 60 per cent in energy. “The existing halogen lights were no longer an off-the-shelf item, so were becoming costly to build in terms of component parts and labour when they needed replacement,” Ms Stinson said. “Our electrical team is working with a local contractor to design an LED array which is both energy efficient and best meets the facility’s operational requirements,” she said. “Thanks to this grant through the Australian Government, we’re working towards a 50 per cent drop in energy use, saving around 27 megawatts a year – that’s the equivalent of 4.5 × four-person households’ electricity use for the year. “Using 27MWh less electricity from the grid will also avoid the equivalent of approximately 22,000kg in CO2 emissions into the atmosphere,” she said. Council is contributing $3000 in in-kind support for the lighting upgrade, which is scheduled to be completed by August. Work will be staged to minimise disruption to pool users. This project is in addition to 32 energy efficiency and renewable energy projects due to be rolled out by Council over the next seven years to help Council achieve its Renewable Energy Action Plan (REAP) targets of generating one quarter of its own electricity within four years (by 2022) and half its own electricity within seven years (by 2025).

Koala habitats are on the agenda with changes proposed to the Kings Forest plan of management.

Lighting upgrade to start Essential Energy contractors are due to start work in the next few weeks to upgrade the streetlights in Salt and Casuarina to energy efficient LED lights and save ratepayers about $32,000 a year in energy costs and $8000 a year in network charges. The original decorative streetlights installed by the developer are non-standard and nearing the end of their lives. Essential Energy has advised it does not carry spare parts nor are those parts readily or commercially available. “We’ve been working towards this upgrade for some years now as the existing lights are inefficient and, over the years, we have had numerous complaints from residents about light spillage onto their properties,” Manager Roads and Stormwater Danny Rose said. “The new LED lights will appear brighter but will be more directed to the road and footpath.” Council will save on its energy bill because the current bulbs use 125 watts and the replacement light emitting diodes (LEDs) will use 17 watts. The new lights will be installed on a bracket customised to fit the old pole and there will be minimal disturbance to traffic and residents. An information flyer will be distributed to all residents in the area in the next few weeks.

Eunga Street Park transformation coming soon Eunga Street Park at Tweed Heads South will soon be transformed with a new playground, thanks to a grant from the Department of Family and Community Services. It is just one of the parks to benefit from grants to improve open space and recreation in the Tweed. Works on the Eunga Street Park will start in April and be complete by late May 2019. Council partnered with Eunga Street residents and local service providers in 2018 to design a recreational space that local residents would be proud of and would want to use. Thanks to this collaborative community-led approach, the resulting design aims to transform the park into a more functional, attractive and accessible

Mountain of donations from Tweed bound for Townsville

By Megan Albany TWEED SHIRE residents and businesses are throwing their support behind an initiative to deliver much-needed school items and cleaning products to flood ravaged Townsville this week. Jascinda Jasinski, who grew up on the Tweed, told The Weekly she couldn’t be prouder of the Tweed and Southern Gold Coast communities, following a huge response to her call for help to assist families in the Townsville region. The Townsville floods have also resurfaced personal experiences for Tweed Shire residents who went through their own major flood event in 2017. Ms Jasinski said her children were moved by the plight of the north Queensland region and called for their mum to take action. The 33-year-old mother said her three children, Felicity 14, Cody 5 and Elleannah 2, were in the car two weeks ago when they first heard a news report about the floods. “The kids heard on the radio that five hundred homes were submerged in water and that around two thousand or more were about to be flooded once the floodgates were opened on the dam,” Ms Jasinski said. After hearing the report, Ms Jasinski said her two eldest children encouraged her to instigate what has now become a huge charity drive. “When my kids heard on the radio that the schools were submerged under water my son Cody said to me, “Mummy that makes me really

sad, they won’t be able to see their friends and all their school things are destroyed - imagine having to start again”.” Ms Jasinski said the reports prompted her children to think about ways they could help out. “The day before we’d cleaned out the kids room and had boxes of clothes and toys to give to charity and so the kids suggested we give it to the people in Townsville instead.” What started out as one family’s personal donation has since grown into a regional drop-off of goods that have been collected from throughout the Gold Coast and the Tweed. “I was originally just going to drive my small SUV and do one drop off but then when I put out a call on some of the buy swap and sell sites it became a lot bigger,” she said. “Next thing I knew I had to organise a freight truck as we had so many donations,” she said. “NQ freighters Sam Purdy and his lovely wife Rachel came forward to donate their truck for the freighting and then Storage King jumped on board as well to help us store the donations before shipping them.” News reports showing the floodaffected families have touched many people in the Tweed, according to Ms Jasinski, especially those in Murwillumbah who were affected personally by the floods in 2016. “We know what it’s like, we know the harsh reality of having to rebuild after mother nature has taken everything,” she said. “People in this area also know that insurance money can take a while to come through and that some

people’s insurance may not ever be paid out.” “So many people on the Gold Coast and Tweed are really kind and caring and I just wanted to bring out the best in this worst case situation.” Despite the generous donations that have already been given to the flood-stricken area, Ms Jasinski said there was still a need for cash as well as some very specific items. “We’re not asking for exorbitant amounts, fuel or food vouchers, even if they are just a $10 gift card will go a long way for people struggling up there. “They are also crying out for gumboots, cleaning supplies as well as pet food, dry and canned, and kitty litter.” The truck containing donations is due to leave for Townsville this Friday and Ms Jasinski said her children were looking forward to seeing them being handed over to those that need them most. “We’ve had a motorhome donated for the children and I to travel in and as soon as the truck is loaded, the kids and I will be following it up there in a convoy,” she said. “I really want to extend a big thank you to Robbie from Don’s Storage and Removals for supplying the truck to pick up items, as well as Crystal Creek Loving Hearts and Jayne Brogden for their donations.” Tweed Shire Council offers Assistance to Townsville: In the meantime, Mayor Katie Milne has issued a statement expressing ‘deep concern and s y m p at hy t o t h e p e o p l e o f Townsville’ on behalf of the Tweed Shire Council.

“The images coming through our television and computer screens from your city remind many in the Tweed of our own unprecedented flooding in many parts of our Shire less than two years ago,” Mayor Milne said. “What is also coming through is the resilience, camaraderie and goodwill of the people of Townsville as residents return to their homes and businesses to view the damage and steel themselves for the clean-up task ahead.” Ms Milne said that council had reached out to the Acting CEO

of Townsville City Council, Mike Chiodo with an offer of assistance. “While the relevant agencies are doing an amazing job, we extend an offer to Townsville City Council to contact us with any specific assistance and/or expertise we can provide during this crisis and the recovery to follow.” “Community spirit carried the Tweed forward after the 2017 flood here and we’re sure this will be the case in Townsville in 2019,” she said.

Residents want crackdown on “ice” after cannabis busts

By Jonathon Howard TWEED RESIDENTS have expressed mixed feelings with recent police arrests at several properties found to be growing cannabis, with social media posts calling for a crackdown on the drug “ice” and a resurfacing of the cannabis debate. Tweed Police have now completed a widespread search and destroy “cannabis eradication” program across the Tweed and Byron shires, with two main busts at Hopkins Creek and Tyalgum. In a media statement, Tweed Police said they swooped on a Hopkins Creek property on Thursday, February 7, seizing 257 cannabis plants. A 60-year-old man was charged with cultivating a prohibited plant of commercial quantity. “Police from Tweed/Byron PD, Firearms/Drug Unit, Polair and SPG Dog Unit were conducting an operation involving Cannabis Eradication within the Tweed/Byron Police District,” police said. “Whilst Polair were conducting aerial patrols over the Hopkins Creek area they have observed a large number of cannabis plants growing at the rear of the residence of Hopkins Creek property. “Police attended and spoke to the male occupant. “The male led police to a large crop of cannabis plants located upon his property making admissions to police. “The male was arrested and conveyed to Tweed Heads Police Station.” Police said some of the plants were more than two metres high and estimated the plants to have a value of more than $500,000. The man was refused bail and fronted Byron Bay Local Court on the Friday, February 8.

Tweed Police arrested a 46-year-old man from Tyalgum for possession of cannabis leaf, cannabis plants, ammunition and cash. Police said it was about 11am Thursday, February 7, when officers carried out the Cannabis Eradication Operation within the Tyalgum township. “At this time Polair observed several cannabis plants growing on a rural property near Tyalgum,” police said. “Police attached to Tweed/Byron Target Action Group, SPG Dog Unit and Tweed Heads General Duties Police attended the location. “Police were met by the sole occupant who provided Police access to his property. “At the time police seized 46 cannabis plants, more than 20kgs of cannabis leaf, ammunition and $1,295 cash. Police said the man was arrested and conveyed to Tweed Heads Police Station and charged with cultivating a prohibited plant, possessing a prohibited drug, supplying cannabis, possessing ammunition without authority and dealing with the proceeds of crime. He was granted bail by police and will appear at Murwillumbah Local Court on March 26. The cannabis busts prompted widespread praise for Tweed Police, but many other residents said the police funding could be better spent on combatting drugs such as methylamphetamines including the drug “ice”. “I would much prefer to hear of a meth lab bust, I do not wish to see of any more drug bust(s) unless it’s for a drug that’s actually dangerous and has killed people and as far as I’m aware if you have to much marijuana you just go to sleep and wake up completely fine, but you do too much ice or heroin or cocaine you die,” one comment read.

“The time is long overdue to implement a scientifically co-dependent drugs policy in Australia,” another comment read. “Prohibition does not, and never will, work as a mechanism to minimise substance consumption. “All currently illicit substances should be regulated taxed and sold like alcohol or tobacco presently are. “ Pe r s o n s wh o c o n s u m e i l l i c i t substances, under the present laws are potentially subjected to substantial harm. “Not particularly as a result of the substance use itself. “But most particularly, because of the punitive criminal charges that may befall them.” “Demonizing a medical plant,” another comment read. “Meanwhile that area has a roaring ice trade.”

Police have charged two men in relation to cannabis cultivation, but residents are calling for a crack down on ‘ice’.

Change of heart on Cobaki motion

A FOUR to three vote by Tweed Shire Councillors has rescinded a previously carried motion to allow for up to 10 storeys at the Cobaki Lakes development owned by Leda. While the decision around 10 storeys in certain parts of the development lies with the State Government, Council’s motion means it will oppose the plans to increase height limits from three storeys. The recession motion means Council will now undertake a period of community consultation, with a report due back around September this year. Cr Ron Cooper, who had previously voted in favour of 10 storeys, said he had changed his mind on the matter and believes community consultation should drive the decision. However, Cr Cooper did not rule out considering tall buildings at Cobaki and across parts of the Tweed Shire, “if the community decides that’s the way the shire should go,” he said. Cr Cooper told The Weekly he believes there’s a need for a shire-wide discussion about how the Tweed manages growth. “Do we go higher or wider, I believe there’s a need to ask the community, what do they want,” Cr Cooper said. “While I have voted to rescind this motion, I believe there’s a need to not go taller until the community are consulted.” Cr Cooper also touched on the future of the Tweed Shire’s population and anticipated growth over the next decade with thousands of new residents eager to experience Tweed Shire life. Cr Cooper said the Tweed needs to look seriously at whether townhouses and terrace houses could meet the future housing needs of the shire. Cr Reece Byrnes told The Weekly that Labor has supported three-storey height limits in the coastal towns and villages south of the river, but had identified north of the river as a possible high growth area. “While I do believe north of the river could sustain some growth, it’s important that we consult the community on a shire-wide level and this is why I supported the receision,” he said. “I felt this was the issue that needed to be the launching pad for shire-wide consultation of the Tweed Shire on the matter. “I think now is the time to get a grassroots consultation on the height limits across the shire including Cobaki.”

The Weekly also asked Mr Jones whether health services would be retained at The Tweed Hospital and in response he said several medical services would be retained in the Tweed Heads area. “The Northern NSW Local Health District is undertaking service planning to determine the services which will continue to be delivered in Tweed Heads once the new $534 million Tweed Valley Hospital opens,” he said “The Local Health District will work closely with GPs, specialists, Aboriginal Medical Services and other partners to develop the right mix of services to support patient needs in the Tweed Heads area.” In relation to the car parking, Mr Jones said a car parking management plan is being developed as part of the Stage 2 State Significant Development application and “this will include consultation with staff and community groups over the coming months”.

By Jonathon Howard MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest has announced the new Tweed Valley Hospital will have free parking once opened and he’s also confirmed The Tweed Hospital will remain open with some medical services including the emergency department. Speaking with The Weekly, Mr Provest reasserted his views on the car parking and said he hopes the free car parking will remain forever after suggestions the free parking could last only 12 months. “The Tweed Hospital will not go straight away,” he said. “We will continue to operate both hospitals, but the new Tweed Valley Hospital will offer all the services and specialist services such as cardiac, oncology etc. “The Tweed Hospital will continue to offer an emergency department and other medical services that are yet to be determined.” Mr Provest said the State Government had invested $40 million into The Tweed Hospital and it would “not make sense to close it down”. “I think The Tweed Hospital will have a strong medical role in the future, but the Tweed Valley Hospital will have the specialist services that the Tweed Shire desperately needs.” The Environmental Impact Statement outlines that “a car parking management plan will detail any parking fees which will follow a typical tariff system as used across NSW”. “It is expected that management of car parking will be similar to the system used at the Lismore Base Hospital Uralba Street carpark (as outlined in the Traffic Impact Assessment), which includes: boom gate access, structured fee for various time periods, multiple payment methods, operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week and concession parking for eligible visitors.” The Weekly questioned Northern NSW Local Health District Chief Executive Wayne Jones about parking and the future use of The Tweed Hospital.

Greens candidate invites residents to sleep rough in Knox Park By Megan Albany

AS THE Tweed Shire’s homelessness issues continue to make headlines, Greens candidate for the state seat of Lismore, Sue Higginson, is calling for members of the public to join her in sleeping overnight at Knox Park, Murwillumbah, on Friday, February 15. The sleep-out is aimed at drawing attention to the plight of those without permanent housing across the Northern Rivers as well as nationally. “The most vulnerable people in Murwillumbah are sleeping rough in Knox Park,” Ms Higginson said. “It’s become renowned as an increasingly unsafe area, with youths setting off petrol bombs recently, loud fights a regular occurrence and residents calling for an increased police presence there after the death of Murwillumbah local Charlie Larter last June.” While Ms Higginson has never participated in sleep-outs for the homeless before, she said she is no stranger to sleeping rough, having experienced it as a younger person. “I lived in the back of my car when I was younger when I was struggling, so I have some pretty firsthand experience. “I had the choice to stay with family I suppose but as a young person I felt that I’d already left home and I didn’t feel that was open to me at the time.” Ms Higginson said that with 288,000 people seeking official homelessness assistance last year that it was time for the government to take action.

“It is now an issue facing many ordinary Australians, including families who can’t manage mortgage stress or find rentals. “The largest single demographic for homelessness in the near future will be women over 50. We are talking about ordinary Australians who are or have been workers, parents and carers suddenly finding themselves homeless after sickness, divorce, or loss of employment. “Once homeless, it is extremely difficult to re-establish employment, health or stability and so the cycle deepens.” Ms Higginson said she believed it was time to stop in-fighting and to have a bipartisan approach that includes all stakeholders including local, state and federal levels of government. “This is an issue that requires cooperation at both state and federal levels,” she said. “The Greens believe that housing is a basic human right. “The Northern Rivers was once a leader in innovative lowcost housing developments, but successive governments have openly discouraged such cost-effective, locally led solutions.” Ms Higginson said politicians n e e d e d t o “ b r e a k t h ro u g h bureaucracy” where necessary to get a result. “As an experienced planning lawyer, I know exactly what can be done to cut the red tape and once again allow the Northern Rivers to lead the way in sustainable, low cost housing solutions,” Ms Higginson said.

people sleeping rough there every night. “We’re a very friendly group of people, we’re very open and we’ll all be together in this,” she said. The sleep out come as Ms Higginson officially launched her campaign for the Lismore seat. More than 200 Greens supporters braved 35-degree heat on Saturday, February 9, at Peace Park in Lismore. Six weeks out from the tight contest for the seat of Lismore, Ms Higginson’s revealed her campaign policies (see page 14&15). “That more than 200 people were willing to come out in the heat and give their support just shows how much people-power there is behind this campaign,” Mrs Higginson said.

“There’s really no reason anyone in the Northern Rivers should be sleeping rough, we have plenty of land. “The only reason it is happening is because of a lack of investment in building houses. We just need to get on with it because people are sleeping rough and they shouldn’t be. “Successive governments have failed ordinary Australians. From policies that reward speculative investment in homes, through to tacit support for a predatory banking sector, the wealthy get richer and the vulnerable go under. It’s a problem we have to face as a nation.” Ms Higginson will be bringing food and refreshments to the park on Friday, February 15, and is hoping to speak to some of the

“It just goes to show how many people want political change in the region.” Ms Higginson revealed her FutureReady Region Plan at the event, before supporters took part in a mass door-knocking effort around the electorate. “Unlike the major party campaigns which are financed by corporate donations, The Greens rely on our grassroots supporters to spread our messages through door-knocking, voter calls and conversations,” she said. “What has come out strongly with our thousands of conversation with locals is that they want their local member to represent local concerns, rather than those of large corporate donors.”

Councillors carry motion to ban water extraction

By Jonathon Howard SEVERAL TWEED Shire residents are celebrating a recent majority vote by Tweed Shire Councillors on Thursday, February 7, to forward a planning proposal to remove water extraction for commercial water bottling from the Local Environmental Plan to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment. The vote was the first step towards removing Clause 7.15 from the Tweed Local Environment Plan, which allows for commercial water extraction, subject to approval by Council. If approved, the planning proposal will ban future commercial water extraction operations from being approved, while current operations will be allowed to continue. The application to the Department of Planning will highlight there is currently no data on water recharge rates in the shire and comes as a vital report by the NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer is set to be released in the coming weeks. Tweed Greens candidate Bill Fenelon praised Mayor Katie Milne, Cr Chris Cherry, Cr Ron Cooper and Cr Reece Byrnes who voted in favour of the motion. “The recent death of one million fish in the Darling River near Menindee Lakes is yet another wake-up call of the consequences from over-using and abusing our water systems,” Mr Fenelon said. “According to an Environmental Defenders Office report, a river is like a piggy bank, if you keep taking money out without saving for the future you end up bankrupt. “Our aquifers are our buffer against the increasing threat of climate change and ongoing drought.

“As our rivers and creeks dry up, we will be more reliant on our underground water supplies for domestic and agricultural use.” Tweed Water Alliance representative Trevor White told The Weekly that the document produced by Council staff with amendments by councillors presents a “robust case for the Department to consider”. “It has acknowledged the overwhelming resistance to this industry by the general public due to adverse effects on amenity, safety concerns from trucks moving at high speed on narrow and winding rural roads, heavy vehicle damage to roads, the repair of which is funded by ratepayers and the negative environmental impacts,” Mr White said. “The amendments by councillors included bringing attention to the fact that Council has a responsibility to be satisfied that water extraction and bottling developments “will not have an adverse impact on natural water systems”. “The Office of Water’s responsibility is to ensure the taking of water will cause no more than minimal harm. “Legal advice provided to the Tweed Water Alliance was that the Council actually has a higher threshold of responsibility than that of the Office of Water.” Mr White said the Alliance will now await the response from the Department of Planning and Environment which may be several weeks away. “However, the Tweed Water Alliance feels more confident than with the previous Planning Proposal to prohibit the industry, submitted in March last year,” he said.

Kingscliff NAB lends a hand to Salt SLSC Nippers By Jo Kennett KINGSCLIFF NAB has donated $5,000 to the Salt Surf Life Saving Club at its opening on Friday February 1, which will go towards the club’s growing Nipper program. Branch Manager of Kingscliff NAB Sue Melville said they were happy to donate to such a worthy cause. “We applied for a donation through our NAB sponsorship program,” Sue, who has been at Kingscliff NAB for 20 years, told The Weekly. “I’d been talking to Chris Gunther (Salt SLSC Treasurer) at the surf club and thought it was a really deserving cause so we put in a submission and we got it. “We were stoked and they were stoked - it’s a treacherous beach so to have lifesavers on that beach is fantastic.” The money will go towards the club’s Nipper program for equipment and training. “The club sent a list of what they needed and we also offered our services to volunteer

with fundraisers - the NAB gives us volunteer days which is great,” Sue said. “The club is beautiful - it’s really well designed and in such a great spot and there’s a lot of dedicated people involved. “It’s such a beautiful place and it was a nice opening and they are very appreciative of any support.” President of the Salt SLSC Greg Lovett told The Weekly the money will go towards “the training, education and development of our junior Nippers”. “We have about 150 Nippers now - that’s up from 105 last year,” Mr Lovett said. “We have changed Nippers to Saturday afternoon because we had a lot of feedback about that and the response has been really positive. “So with the Nippers program growing we greatly appreciate the donation and what NAB does - they are a large bank and they don’t have to do it but they have gone to the grassroots level of the community so it’s great - from a local community and a small community it means so much to the club.”

In late January and February, echidna puggles begin to emerge from their burrows. Their mother will feed them one last time and then the young are on their own, ready to fend for themselves. Although they can vary greatly in size, from 800g to more than 2kg, puggles of all sizes usually do well. In the past, they rarely came into care, but this year, a lot more echidnas need our help. According to Jan Pilgrim, TVWC Monotremes Coordinator, echidnas do not like the heat. “We don’t know why the babies are having problems this year, but it is very dry and it should be cooler than this by now,” she said. “You wouldn’t think it to look at them, but echidnas can move fast. “So, if you find an echidna that you can actually pick up – one that doesn’t either run away or cling so tightly to the ground you cannot move it – there could be something wrong.” If you find a struggling echidna please phone the TVWC hotline, so we can have it checked and treated. We are seeing a lot of echidnas that are underweight, covered in ticks and fly eggs, or suffering from diseases and parasites.

The Weekly launches Wildlife Carers column

By Rachael Lebeter BENNY IS a puggle, or a young echidna, and was recently found on the side of the road at Bilambil, covered in fly eggs and maggots. He had several open wounds and would not have survived for long without help. Luckily for Benny, a kind member of the public spotted him and called the Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers’ (TVWC) 24-hour hotline (02 6672 4789). The quick actions of the resident helped to get Benny to Currumbin Wildlife Hospital in time to save his life. Benny is now recovering in care with some of his echidna friends, including Afro, another puggle who was found at Uki with a very similar story. TVWC’s most experienced echidna carer, Jenny Weston, who is looking after Benny and Afro, said it was strange to see echidnas in care during this time of the year. “Winter is the time for echidnas, because they are more active,” she said. This time last year, Jenny had one echidna puggle, Yoda, who was later released. This year, in addition to Afro and Benny, Jenny has two adult echidnas. There is another puggle at the Wildlife Hospital and two tiny puggles that didn’t make it. The number of echidna rescues at TVWC in 2018 was almost double the preceding year and sadly 2019 looks to continue this trend. “Something is not right,” Jenny said. “The young are smaller than normal this year, as well as so many being found injured or unwell.”

Colour in Your Life presenter Graeme Stevenson also talked about his year ahead include possibly launching the series in the United Arab Emerits. TEN vice president Karrisa Ball said the first event for 2019 was extremely well attended. “We had almost 50 people, which was outstanding,” she said. “It was great to see so many business people from both the Tweed Coast and Tweed Valley collaborating.” Anyone wanting to attend the next meeting can visit: www.tweedexperiencesnetwork.com.au

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

NSW VOTES 2019 Incumbent Tweed MP Geoff Provest was elected to the seat in 2007. Mr Provest listed his main election commitments as delivering the Tw e e d Va l l e y Hospital by 2023, increasing public transport options, providing more affordable and public housing, upgrading and redeveloping schools, providing more police and police resources and making renewable energy more accessible for locals. The Weekly asked Mr Provest what areas he would focus on if re-elected. “I want to keep delivering for the Tweed in all areas, not just focus on one or two issues that may be the topic of the moment,” he said. “It shouldn’t matter who you are or what your issue, everyone deserves to have their voice heard.” Mr Provest listed a lack of health services as a major issue affecting the Tweed. “Obviously, the provision of a greater range of health services with increased capacity to meet the growing needs of the region,

including mental health services and improved access to rehabilitation programs,” he said. Mr Provest said employment for young people is another major issue within the Tweed electorate. “We also need to increase employment options for young people,” he said. “To do this we need to create an environment where businesses can thrive, this includes reducing the payroll tax burden on thousands of businesses, a policy that is not supported by Labor who have vowed to continue taxing these businesses unfairly.” Finally, Mr Provest said he deserves your vote because “I know what it takes to get things done in Parliament”. “I’m known in Sydney as Mr 100% for the Tweed – because there is never a moment I am not pushing our community’s agenda to the forefront of government,” he said. “ I f I a m fo r t u n at e t o g e t the continued support of this community I will continue to fight for the best outcomes for our community, this is my only priority.” Susie Hearder, the Animal Justice Party candidate for Tweed said climate change, koalas and wildlife, water, animal cruelty and social housing are her five main campaign commitments.

If elected, Ms Hearder said she would act immediately on climate change by prohibiting fossil fuel expansion and rapidly transforming to renewable energy, implement a carbon tax on industries that are major contributors to emissions and use these funds to support clean energy solutions, better carbon capture, sustainable agriculture systems and education. Ms Hearder said she would c a m p a i g n s t ro n g l y t o e n d deforestation and logging in native forests to protect the vulnerable koala population, create a designated koala park in the Tweed and legislate against commercial water extraction. “Any water plans need to factor in sufficient environmental flows to sustain marine habitat and ecosystems and the wildlife that depend on it for their survival,” she said. Ms Hearder has also committed to rehabilitate water catchments, end cruel and environmentally damaging intensive animal agriculture, ban puppy factory farming and greyhound racing, and require shade and shelter to be provided for livestock. Finally, Ms Hearder said more social housing is required. “Social housing is needed for our homeless, those living rough and affected by domestic violence,” she said. “This needs to include accommodation for their pets who provide companionship, emotional support and security.

“Successful schemes including tiny homes need to be explored, financed and situated near public transport and essential services. “For 25 years I have stood up for community values and the environment and I will not sell out to vested interests but will stand up for the community and their wishes.” Fo r m e r p o l i c e officer and Labor candidate for the Tweed Craig Elliot seat has listed his main priorities as more police for the Tweed, relocating the proposed Tw e e d Va l l e y H o s p i t a l f ro m Cudgen to Kings Forest, investing in frontline services, schools, TAFE and hospitals, and reducing the cost of living. “As a former police officer, I know that actions speak louder than words,” he said. “Tweed needs more police to fight the scourge of ice, home invasions, assaults and theft. “Labor will focus on local schools, hospitals and fighting overdevelopment in our community, whereas the Nationals will splurge $2.2 billion dollars on Sydney Stadiums. “The March 23 election will be a referendum on heathcare in Tweed. Geoff Provest and the Nationals want to impose a ninestorey hospital on state significant farmland at Cudgen.

“ L ab o r s t a n d s w i t h t h e community in opposing this massive overdevelopment and instead Labor will build a new hospital at Kings Forest better, faster and on budget. “The fact is only Labor will build a new $534 million public hospital, keep the current Tweed Hospital in public hands for ongoing community and health services, and save and protect Cudgen farmlands and Kingscliff from Geoff Provest’s Gold Coast style overdevelopment. “A Labor Government will also invest in our local schools and TAFE, and importantly, build a new public high school at Pottsville. Labor will offer more than 600,000 fee-free TAFE places across NSW in areas where there are skills shortages, such as childcare, aged care, disability care, construction, plumbing and the electrical trades. “We’ll also ease the cost of living for local families and seniors by re-regulating power prices and providing a discount for solar panels for 500,000 homes across NSW. “If I’m elected to be your representative, I’ll work hard every day for you to restore the services and standard of living you rightly deserve.” The Greens c a n d i d a t e fo r the Tweed seat Bill Fenelon has outlined eight main priorities for his election campaign. His priorities include expanding

For the launch of The Weekly’s dedicated NSW state election coverage, we asked candidates for both the Tweed and Lismore seat to list their main election commitments, the areas they wish to focus on if elected, what they believe are the major issues in their electorate and why they deserve your vote.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals and increasing funding to the existing Tweed Heads Hospital, taking urgent action on climate change and investing in renewable energy, strengthening environmental laws and protecting forests, wildlife and water, promoting affordable housing, improving aged care and public health, boosting local jobs, sustainable businesses and innovative technology, increasing funding for schools and abolishing fees for universities and TAFE, including trains and cycleways in integrated public transport networks and opposing donations from corporations seeking to buy political influence. “I believe the Greens offer the Tweed Electorate, representation based on community needs and interests,” Mr Fenelon said. “The Greens will represent the people of the Tweed and put them first. We do not accept political donation and only work for and represent the community. Unlike the Liberal/Nationals and Labor, who must do the bidding of their corporate donors, and follow party instructions originating from Sydney. “We will put the Tweed First.” Austin Curtin, a Tr e g e a g l e macadamia farmer was chosen via a community preselection to contest the Lismore seat for the National Party, following incumbent MP Thomas George’s decision to retire from the seat he has held since 1999. Mr Curtin said his main campaign commitments are delivering more cost of living measures for families

Thursday, February 14, 2019

and seniors, fixing local roads and bridges, wiping the maintenance backlog from local schools, making access to renewable energy easier and investing in frontline health workers. If elected, Mr Curtin said his main focus would be improving the lives of locals in the Lismore electorate. “I want to see continued funding into local projects and tourism that will create jobs for our young people,” he said. “As a father I want my children to have the opportunity to train and work in our local community, which is why we need to make sure we reduce payroll tax for businesses and create an environment that’s friendly for small business operators. “I also believe the Government is now in a position to invest in people.” Mr Curtin said cost burdens on local councils are a major issue in the Lismore electorate, including road maintenance. “We need to have a serious conversation about cost burdens on local government,” he said. “I believe some of the highest costs incurred by councils have come from when the now Labor leader Michael Daley transferred tens of thousands kilometres of roads to local councils, without fair support to maintain them. This has resulted in ratepayers carrying the burden and I don’t think it’s fair. I want the NSW Nationals to right Labor’s wrongs.” Mr Curtin said he deserves your vote because “I’m motivated by getting the very best for all communities in the Lismore electorate”. “It’s not just about delivering great outcomes for Lismore City, but I want to make sure that everyone gets to have a voice in Parliament,” he said.

“It shouldn’t matter whether you’re in Tyalgum or Lismore, everyone deserves the same level of representation.” Greens candidate and former CEO and Principal Solicitor of the Environmental Defenders Office NSW Sue Higginson has taken on big corporations and governments and won and is hoping to take the seat of Lismore off The Nationals who won by 2,345 votes on preferences at the 2015 election. Ms Higginson told The Weekly her campaign commitments were to fix the region’s rivers, take strong action on climate change and bring electricity prices down, re-energise food and fibre industries, deal with the housing crisis, reinvest in TAFE and public education, modernise the health system and ensure safe nurse to patient ratios in hospitals and to develop a comprehensive and integrated public transport system. Ms Higginson said The Greens have also committed to fund Northern Rivers councils to deal with their road infrastructure and maintenance backlogs. “I believe I am the best person to represent our beautiful region in the NSW Parliament,” she said. “We are heading into difficult times as our climate changes and many in our community are doing it tough as wages have stagnated, our community services have been cut and many are without a safe place to sleep. “Many people have lost faith in politics, and it’s no wonder when our politicians are serving

their corporate donors not their communities. “Unlike the Nationals and Labor, my party doesn’t accept any corporate donations - so I am free to represent our communities and advocate for your needs. “The Greens have developed ‘Our Future Ready Region Plan’ - If I am elected I will fight for our rivers, work with our farmers to modernise our food and fibre industries, invest in health, housing, education and public transport and take strong action on climate change and create jobs in a clean green future. “I have been doorknocking in our electorate since October and these are the issues that people have told me are important.” Labor candidate Ja n e l l e S a ff i n has political experience, having represented the federal seat of Page from 2007 to 2013 for Labor. She has listed her main campaign priorities as increasing staffing and services at Murwillumbah Hospital, ensuring Murwillumbah has a 24/7 police presence and keeping the Murwillumbah Court House open, securing free TAFE places locally and ensuring the TAFE remains open, re-regulating the electricity network and transitioning to renewables, funding councils to fix roads, reintroduce disability advocacy, addressing housing and homelessness, and working with local chambers of commerce and councils to “get things done for our community”.

When asked what issues are facing the Lismore electorate, Ms Saffin listed several additional areas of concern including jobs, adequate transport, cost of living and electricity, the ice epidemic, commercial water extraction and environmental protection including koalas. “ I c a n br i ng my ex te ns ive experience to bear on all the big issues confronting us and work out solutions with the community, so that we have jobs, have educational opportunities, have the sorts of development suitable for our areas, tourism, agri-tourism, utilise our rivers and repair them, and advance and maintain what is precious to us, together,” she said. Ms Saffin said if elected, she would campaign to ensure coal seam gas (CSG) mining remains banned in the electorate. “We need to ensure that CSG never again raises its head in our area or any other development that is harmful to our water and agricultural land,” she said. “I was instrumental in delivering the Water Trigger Legislation in terms of advocacy within my own party, where I would not accept that we could not do anything at Federal level despite CSG being mainly a State matter and finding a technical way to do it, utilising my legal background.” Ms Saffin said she deserves your vote because she has “the experience, skills and drive”. “I have a reputation that comes from the community,” she said. “It is “Janelle Gets Things Done”. I want to and will “Get Things Done” for the whole Lismore Electorate.”

Presentation of hard truths on climate Natural IN JULY 2018, Professor Will Steffen, Earth Systems Scientist from the Climate Council, was hosted by Zero Emissions Byron to deliver his ‘The Big U-Turn ahead – calling Australia to Action on Climate Change’ presentation. A s par t of Senior s Week 2019, Tweed Shire Council will be showing a video of the presentation on Thursday, February 21, from 6pm to 8pm at the Canvas & Kettle meeting room, Murwillumbah Civic Centre, 10 – 14 Tumbulgum Road. D e b b i e F i r e s t o n e , P r o g r a m L e ad e r – Sustainability, is hosting the event and says the presentation outlines some hard truths from a respected figure in the climate change research field. “This presentation is essential viewing for everyone wanting to stay in touch about what the latest climate science means for us all,” she said. A February 2018 review of the main sources of the greenhouse gas emissions by the Tweed community highlighted electricity as a major source of emissions. 62 per cent of the total carbon footprint of the Tweed is associated with grid-electricity use in homes and businesses. “In the past, the Tweed community has really made the most of energy efficiency programs for homes and businesses,” Ms Firestone said. “There’s now a new range of energy saver programs from the NSW Government to help our community use electricity wiser, save costs and cut greenhouse gas emissions too. “Everyone should check whether these programs can help them.” When it comes to renewable energy uptake, Tweed is also leading the region. “Over 35 per cent of households in the Tweed have installed solar, so it’s great to see us ahead of

the pack in the Northern Rivers when it comes to smart investments in renewable energy,” she said. A Solar Buyers Guide on Council’s website www.tweed.nsw.gov.au gives great tips on the questions to ask and websites to visit before investing in solar. A ‘Smar t Power – Solar and Bat teries’ information session to help people who want to know more about solar and battery technology will be run by Council’s Energy Projects Officer Michael Qualmann as part of Seniors Week. The event will be held on Monday, February 18, from 12pm to 2pm at the Harvard Room, Tweed Civic Centre Admin Building, Cnr Brett and Wharf Street, Tweed Heads. Andy McQuie from the NSW Government will also provide information about discounts to replace halogen lights, old fridges and TV’s at the event. And Council’s been walking-the-talk when it comes to making the most of solar on its own facilities. Tweed Shire Council is on track to self-generate an estimated 1,300 MWh/pa of solar power by the end of March 2019, up from 300 MWh/pa since a Renewable Energy Action Plan (REAP) was adopted in November 2017, saving ratepayers more than $225,000 per year. The solar power generated from rooftop and ground-mounted solar at 15 facilities will be equivalent to the annual electricity used by 250 four-person homes. Council’s Renewable Energy Action Plan outlines $5.2 million of investment to achieve $1 million in annual energy cost savings through 32 energy efficiency and renewable energy projects including improvements in streetlights, lighting, wastewater treatment and heating/ventilation systems; and by installing rooftop solar and batteries at Tweed Shire Council facilities.

The Ivory taps into solar with SAE Group The high powered, quality solar system will cut their electricity bill by 28%, delivering an annual power saving of $21,500. Owner Brendan Lawless says the decision to invest in solar just made good sense both commercially and environmentally. “The system will have paid for itself in under three years in off-set electricity costs alone, and with the assistance of the federal governments STC financial incentive, we have saved approximately $50,000 on the upfront cost of the system.” The 266-panel installation completed by the SAE Group earlier this month means that the Ivory will now self-generate 40% of their total electricity requirements. The Ivory is just one of many local businesses SAE Group have helped recently to reduce their operating cost and maximise profits. With electricity tariffs still at an all-time high

for business, solar empowers business owners to take some control over one of their largest operating costs. Glen Ashton, Managing Director of SAE Group says that the solar equation for businesses has never been better. “Solar energy is a game changer for businesses on so many levels. Electricity prices remain at an all-time high and the cost of solar has reduced drastically, giving business the opportunity to pay off a good-sized system in under three years, and reap the benefits for years to come. Not to mention the fact that commercial solar is also tax deductible. “For businesses wanting to make a commitment to a greener future, for ever y 1kw hour generated by renewable energy sources such as solar, that’s 1kw hour not generated by fossil fuel generation which is also a massive win for the planet.” If you would like to find out more about solar for your home or business contact SAE Group on 1300 18 20 50 or visit www.saegroup.com.au

Components of a dosing siphon pump. Source: Stafford, 2007

EPTIC SYSTEMS are an environmental solution to wastewater management, using only bacteria to treat the effluent. Septic systems do not need electricity to operate as they rely on gravity to transport the wastewater flow down the drainage pipes from the house to the septic tank and through to the underground disposal trenches. At $10,000 to $20,000 price range, they are an expensive component of the house, but an essential solution for a property owner that is not connected to the town sewer. Environmental standards for septic systems have increased. A septic system that is designed and is installed correctly, will give the best value in terms of years of operation. To remain operating well, the wastewater must be absorbed by the soil below and surrounding the trenches. Introducing a pumping cycle to the septic system is a way of improving performance and dramatically extending the life of a septic system. The pumping of the wastewater provides large breaks between disposal cycles and this allows the trenches to regularly dry and re-aerate. Many septic systems now include an electric pump after the septic tank to improve the system performance. In the Tweed and surrounding Northern

Rivers region, an environmental alternative to the electric pump is being used. The dosing siphon is being included in the design for new and upgraded systems to provide a non-electric, passive pump solution, improving the design and life of the septic systems. Dosing siphons use simple technology, dating back to Roman times. The dosing siphon consists of a plastic bell that sits in a pumpwell, connected to a small narrow breather tube and a P-bend trap below connected to the pumpwell outlet pipe. As the pump-well fills with wastewater, the air is fed into the underwater bell via the breather tube, and then as the breather tube also goes underwater, air is caught in the cylindrical bell and becomes increasingly pressurised by the weight of the effluent above the bell. The air pressure forces down on the wastewater caught in the P-trap below the bell until is forced past the P-trap bend and loss of air past the trap triggers the siphoning action and the wastewater surges through the outlet of the pumpwell. A local company that provides septic system designs for new or upgraded systems operates in Tweed Heads. With many years of experience in QLD and NSW Councils, HMC Environmental Consulting knows a septic design report is necessary before Council will issue plumbing approval to do any sewage work. Good design includes listening to the customer, looking at the site and the soil and knowing the Council requirements. Including environmental components such as the dosing siphon are part of HMC’s approach to keep septic systems simple and practical, and working in a safe, reliable way for as long as possible.

Locals delight in curlew chick's first flight By Jo Kennett

T W E E D B I R D l ov e r s a r e celebrating the first flight of the beach stone curlew chick that took place in the estuary at Hastings Point on Friday, February 8. One of the regular observers of the critically endangered bird, Rob Bonar was fortunate to witness the chick’s maiden flight. “At about 8.20am three birds were on the beach on the creek side and a guy paddled along with a big blue surfboard and when he got alongside them he paddled into shore to have a look at them,” Mr Bonar said. “I yelled out at the guy, hey get out of there and he looked at me and the three birds took off and nearly knocked me over. “The two parents came around and settled down and stopped almost beside me and the chick kept flying and went right out on the spit and then they all ran back into the dunes. “The funny thing was that the guy on the surfboard was sheepishly paddling up and instead of being cranky I was cheering and jumping up and down and he was delighted.” Mr Bonar has been observing the bird almost every day for at least two months. “I felt fantastic - I was actually crying because it’s been such a long time and you feel so protective of them.” Convenor of BirdLife Northern Rivers Linda Brannian said she was thrilled when Mr Bonar called with the news, minutes after the chick took flight.

“It really means our job is coming to an end - once it can fly away from danger we don’t need to be there to protect it,” Ms Brannian told The Weekly. “I felt elation and relief but I don’t think any of us will be comfortable until it’s about five years old. “It’s only on its L plates and it will take some time for it to reliably fly in the face of danger and to identify danger so it’s still vulnerable.” Ms Brannian said the location of the nest beside the busy creekside park had resulted in observers being able to record information about feeding and parenting, much of which was previously unknown. “There is a beach nesting bird symposium in May in Victoria and we have been invited to present our findings from this summer,” she said. “Very little has been published before on feeding and parenting behaviour. “We have just learned so much about their feeding habits, their routines, bringing out the chick at night - they always brought it out on the beach side towards dusk and returned in the morning. “The chick wasn’t that old when they started taking it out at night and we had locals down there early who would see the chick returning.” Originally the location of the nest in the busy park caused a lot of concern. “The egg was laid around October 30 and then hatched on December 1,” Ms Brannian said. “We found fox prints in the estuary and there were a lot of dogs there

and it was hard getting people to accept the fact that it was a dog prohibited area and had been for years, though there hadn’t been much enforcement before that. “A wonderful thing that came out was a new brochure for the Tweed Coast that came online telling where people could take their dogs and where they are prohibited.” There were also difficulties when the curlews moved unexpectedly out of the enclosure a couple of weeks after the chick hatched. “They moved to a place more appropriate to hiding the chick and Council was closed - it was in December 26 or 27 - which was very stressful,” she said. “The day we needed to fence it off there were people sitting right on top of the chick and they were very grumpy when we asked them to move while we were waiting for National Parks to turn up. “National Parks came to the rescue by turning up to fence it and people were so accepting of the enclosures. There was an incredible amount of acceptance - the signs were very helpful. “Council has done a lot of work to educate the public and protect the bush stone curlews so it made it an easy transition.” Ms Brannian said she felt “incredible gratitude” to be a part of the experience and to see all the support from Council, National Parks, Birdlife Australia, Team Koala, visitors and residents. “People were proud of their Council - they thought they were

doing the right thing,” she said. “Locals were passionate about it, so many people would stop to check on its progress and I was very impressed by the dedication of the locals. “When we needed extra help we reached out to Team Koala and they came on board and volunteered for patrol which was fantastic. As they said, “we’re all for bird life”.” BirdLife Australia representatives also took the opportunity to visit Hastings Point late last year to see the chick and run beach and estuary tours on beach nesting birds. Volunteer birdwatcher and wildlife lover from Koala Beach Yvonne Gardiner was another on the roster

helping to ensure the survival of the endangered chick. “It's been a delight watching such a rare bird grow and thrive so close to a busy holiday spot,” she said. “It’s also heart-warming to hear from people who care what happens to the chick. “All credit to BirdLife Northern NSW, the Tweed Shire Council staff, National Parks and organisers for devoting their time and effort to such a worthy cause.” M r B o n a r a l s o s aw n i n e endangered pied oystercatchers in the estuary, which he believes are three chicks and six parents that also hatched in the estuary late last year.

Pottsville dog attack raises concerns By Jo Kennett A DOG attack at Seabreeze, Pottsville that landed a woman in hospital and her dog at a veterinary hospital early on Saturday, February 9, has sparked concern among locals. The woman’s son posted photos of the deep bite wound his mother received on social media, saying afterwards that she was okay and had only required two stitches. The latest attack was by a dog described as a Staffordshire cross, white with brown patches, which was roaming near the entrance of Seabreeze Estate. Police door-knocked houses in the area around 10.30 that morning, asking if anyone had seen or heard the attack or knew where the dog had come from. Others who had been victims of dog attacks in Pottsville in recent months have came forward and to the Weekly. It is not known if the dog had escaped or been let out, or whether it might have been dumped. A Pottsville resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said that she had witnessed an attack by a similar sounding dog a year and a half ago. “I saw a white Staffy with spots attack a golden retriever near the same roundabout at Pottsville,” she said. “The dog then ran back to a house on Mylestom Circle (Seabreeze Estate). “The owner of the Staffy was not home so I would say it escaped as the house was fully fenced - I left my baby

in the pram and ran over to help pull the Staffy off. The woman said she was only voicing her concern because she was an animal lover “and would hate to see another dog attacked”. “I’m also a mother and I would hate for a child to be attacked,” she said. “I’ve spoken to the Tweed Council about the attack I witnessed as it may be a link to this one but I’m not sure if they can act on it.” Another Seabreeze resident said he was attacked by a dog late last year. “I was at the shops in Pottsville coming home from downtown on my bike and I had a dog come out and chase me from the second roundabout going into Seabreeze near Lennox Circuit,” the man, who didn’t want to be named, said. “I was lucky that I wear army boots because it was biting at my ankles and boots and I ended up kicking it to get it away from me. “The boots are $400 army boots and it ripped the seams opened and I had to get rid of the boots.” “I called the ranger and they never ended up finding it.” The man said he was attacked “right next to a kids playground.” “That was pretty atrocious,” he said. “If that same attack had happened to a kid they would be in a pretty bad state. “The description of the dog in the latest attack sounded very similar so maybe it was the same dog.” Owner of Casuarina Seaside Vet Dr Andy Pieris was recently voted The Most Trusted Vet in Australia and

told The Weekly there are some basic steps people can take in the event of a possible dog attack. 1. Try and remain calm, do not run at the dog or run away from the dog but stand still and face the dog. 2. Do not put yourself in danger, and it often takes more than one person to pull apart two dogs. 3. (If a child is involved) Put the child’s safety first but try and move slowly as the dog will feel threatened with any sudden movements. 4. A colour coded system is often used and owners may like to adopt the idea of tying a yellow ribbon around their lead to alert other owners that their dog prefers space.

Australia’s most trusted vet Dr Andy Pieris has provided advice on what to do in the event of a dog attack.

Kunghur garage sale WHILE KUNGHUR is one of the smaller villages in the Tweed, it has still felt the benefit of being in the catchment area for Tweed Palliative Care with more than five of its residents having been directly assisted by the organisation. Kunghur is also home to Dr Shauna Purser and Nurse Karen Challand who are now spending a day away from the medical profession to host a garage sale in aid of Tweed Palliative Care’s hospice, Wedgetail Retreat. The Kunghur Community Garage Sale, in aid of Wedgetail Retreat, will take place this Saturday, February 16, at Ted Brown Close Kunghur from 8am. “We’ve got a lovely community in Kunghur, so we thought it would be a bit of fun to get the community together, get rid of all our clutter and raise money for a good cause,” Dr Shauna Purser said. “I’ve been a GP in the area since the early nineties and I’ve seen firsthand how Wedgetail has cared for patients and their families. “Wedgetail Retreat is very valuable in the terminal stages and it’s a lovely venue where clients can get medical care in an environment that is not in a hospital setting.” Dr Purser said she will be making cupcakes and manning the sausage sizzle at what will be her first ever garage sale. “I’ve always lived in quite remote places so I’ve never had a garage sale - I am a garage sale virgin,” Dr Purser laughed. Nurse Karen Challand on the other hand, who worked for over three years at Wedgetail retreat, describes herself as a garage sale veteran. “I am a very experienced garage sale person,” she said.

Ford’s new Mustang Supercar revealed

FORD HAS unveiled its 2019 Ford Mustang Supercar to much fanfare ahead of the 2019 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship. In full official Ford Performance livery, the 2019 Mustang Supercar shows off the road-going Ford Mustang GT’s iconic design cues and rampant V8 soundtrack ahead of its inaugural race, the Superloop Adelaide 500. “This is an historic moment,” said Kay Hart, President and CEO of Ford Australia and New Zealand. “To see the project come together has been incredibly exciting for everyone involved, and today marks the start of Mustang’s 2019 season. “Mustang belongs on the track and everyone at Ford and our fans have been waiting for this moment.” Ford and Ford Performance, alongside partners from Shell V-Power Racing and Tickford Racing, have designed, engineered and approved Mustang for the 2019 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship. The Mustang was officially approved by Supercars for racing in December, however the final look of the iconic Fastback has been heavily camouflaged until it was revealed. “For Supercars, the Mustang ushers in a new era,” said Supercars CEO, Sean Seamer said. “It’s a product that you see readily on the road, it’s been super successful for Ford globally and here in Australia, and it gives the opportunity to reach

The new 2019 Ford Mustang Supercar has been unveiled this week

younger and older generations with a fantastic looking race car.” Six Mustangs will enter the 2019 series, from three teams, with two Mustangs for Shell V-Power Racing, three Tickford Racing Mustangs and an additional Mustang for 23Red Racing. “Today is when we show the fans what the Mustang Supercar really looks like, ready for the 2019 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship,” Shell V-Power Racing Team Principal, Ryan Story said. “This project wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Ford Australia, the Ford Asia Pacific Design studio, and the pivotal involvement of Ford Performance in the United States.” Ford Performance has worked with Ford, Shell V-Power Racing

and Tickford Racing in getting the Mustang on the 2019 grid. Ford Performance has also helped deliver Mustang in NASCAR, NHRA as well as the Mustang GT4 that was showcased alongside the Ford GT IMSA at the 2018 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000. “I’m really proud of the team in North America, and I’m really proud of the team down in Australia,” Ford Performance Motorsports Supervisor, Brian Novak said. “We use the same processes to develop the Supercar that we do the NASCAR Mustang, that we do the Mustang GT4, that we do the NHRA Funny Car Mustang. That development has been proven out through other programs – the Ford GT at Le Mans for example – and we then transfer that back, that knowledge, back to the road car.”

Support Speed on Tweed THE WHEELS are in motion to return one of the Tweed Shire’s most iconic events, Festival of Speed on Tweed, but significant local support is needed to get the event across the line. Speed on Tweed committee chairman Tonny Van’t Riet told The Weekly that the launch of the Speed on Tweed Raffle was a positive step forward. The raffle is already circulating through the Tweed Shire, but an online component of the raffle has now been launched via raffle link (www.rafflelink.com.au/speedontweedrevival). The raffle offers a great chance for one lucky local to win $25,000 first place prize from a ticket pool of only 1000 tickets. Second prize is also a generous Party Boat Cruise for 50 People on board the Spirit of Wollumbin with Mount Warning Tours. “It’s up to the Tweed Shire to make the Speed on Tweed happen,” Tonny said. “We received 3,500 signatures from Tweed residents who want Speed on Tweed to return, so we’re asking for everyone to get behind the event and those that can to purchase one of the golden tickets.” The Speed on Tweed 1000 raffle closes on March 29 and will be drawn on March 30 at Murwillumbah Soccer Club from 7.30pm. Visit The Weekly office to purchase a ticket (1/12 Queen Street, Murwillumbah) or visit www.rafflelink.com.au/ speedontweed-revival

tips for new drivers

Are you a new driver? When you’re out on the road, it can be easy to get overwhelmed. However you don’t need to. Here are some simple and easy to remember tips to help you keep calm, do the right thing by other drivers and get you safely where you want to go.

1. Plan your drive.

Others will make mistakes, but try to stay cool and calm. By getting upset, you can distract yourself from your own driving performance. 3. Avoid sudden movements. Don’t suddenly swerve, accelerate or brake. Others might not know your intentions or see you with enough time to stop. 4. Be patient. Be patient when interacting with other drivers, changing lanes, and merging. Avoid cutting in on other drivers. When merging, do it like a zipper, one car after another.

Being patient on the drive - even in a traffic jam - helps make your commute safer and more enjoyable

5. Keep a safe distance and don’t tailgate 81467

TRADING HOURS Monday to Friday 7.30 - 5.00pm Saturday 8am - 12pm

If you know where you’re going, you’re less likely to get flustered along the way. So check your route before you head off, particularly if you are driving somewhere you have not been before, and mind the road signals.

Remember, the faster you’re going the more time you will need to stop. Don’t tailgate. You should be able to see the road between your

AUTOMOTIVE SUSPENSION & EXHAUST

car and the one in front. If you can’t, you’re too close. 6. Don’t be a lead foot. Keep a safe speed and don’t go over the speed limit. Speeding is one of the biggest contributors to deaths on the road. Not speeding therefore reduces your chances of having a serious accident. 7. Indicate. Let other drivers know what you’re doing. By not indicating and turning, you risk an accident. Likewise, indicate earlier rather than later to allow the vehicle behind you to be aware you are slowing down to turn. 8. Be courteous to other drivers. If you make a mistake, wave to other drivers to say sorry. If other drivers are courteous to you, give them a wave to say thanks. It makes everyone happier. 9. Avoid all contact with drivers who show aggression. Avoid eye contact and proceed as if nothing has happened. Keep clear of a vehicle being driven in an erratic or unsafe way. If you experience a road rage incident, stay calm. Get the details of the offending vehicle and report the incident at the nearest police station. If you feel that you’re being followed, go to a public place such as a busy street or shopping centre. 10. Don’t rush - take it easy!

Amazing folk act coming to Regent

@6:30pm The Earlybirds

THE UK’s best-known folk duo, Winter Wilson (pictured above) are coming to Murwillumbah for a once only performance at the Regent Cinema on Sunday, February 17. Winter Wilson is currently on tour in Australia and will visit Murwillumbah from 4pm. Winter Wilson have recently experienced a successful UK tour with folk-rock legends Fairport Convention, and are touring Australia featuring music from their latest album, Far Off On The Horizon. As with their previous offerings, their new album has been met with critical acclaim. “Dave Wilson’s songs pull no punches when relating to the sights and sounds of everyday local life, and are complimented by Kip’s

powerful and emotional voice,” the Daily Telegraph UK reported. “A sublime collection of tracks… well balanced, strong songs delivered with care, and by people that are passionate about their craft. Lovely,” Living Tradition Magazine, UK, said. But most critics agree that it is in live performance that these musicians really excel, interspersing great songs, stunning harmonies and fine musicianship with often hilarious tales of life on the road. “In 30 years of listening to folk music, I have never heard two voices blend so perfectly together,” David Aird, Chairman, Glenfarg Folk Club, UK said. Tickets are available at the Regent with adult $25 and concession or student tickets $20.

TRUMPET PLAYER and singer Cam McCracken Smith has been honing his set of almost-traditional jazz and New Orleans inspired originals for over a decade, playing at Edinburgh Fringe, Woodford Folk Festival and every pub and street corner from Canberra to Cairns. Upon moving to the Northern Rivers in 2017, Cam with brother Lachi on drums formed The Magnificence.

Joining the brothers at Tweed Valley Jazz & Blues Club will be Julian Smith double bass, Joe O’Keeffe banjo and Paul Edwards on Tenor Sax. The Magnificence growl, they mewl, they cook – and they make audiences feel better about otherwise questionable life choices. Check them out at the Condon Bowling Club on Friday, February 22, from 8pm.

First exhibition for Uki’s newest art gallery

Talking VICE

FILMS th Mia wi

The personality and actions of Dick Cheney - who was vicepresident of the US during the George W. Bush presidency – are still felt today considering all that has happened after 9/11. A new film tries to unpack the story of the man who became the most powerful vice-president in American history, and it does so through an amazing impersonation by Christian Bale, who has literally transformed himself for this role – for which he has already won the Golden Globe and is a strong nominee for the Oscar.

Local artists are ready to launch Uki’s newest art gallery

Ms Young who previously had a business in Stokers Siding said she was drawn to Uki because of the growing creative arts scene. “There’s always something artistic happening, it’s very arty, that’s why I chose Uki to launch my business model.” The gallery grew out of the Uki Arts Collective which was launched by Ms Young over a year ago. “My passion is helping others to find their hidden talents which is why I started the Uki Arts Collective,” said Ms Young. “I like to facilitate other people’s creativity, to bring it out and showcase it to the community.”

Ms Young said that some artists struggle with the business side of promoting their work and that her role, as a gallery owner, was to help them fill that gap. “I’ve always been strong in marketing and I enjoy supporting local artists, who are often very reclusive and don’t know how to market themselves, so that’s why they come to me.” The exhibition takes place in the Uki Arts Gallery, upstairs at the Buttery Factory on Kyogle Road Uki and all are welcome.

The film is a political satire and has divided film critics, some praising it as ‘cleverly biting’ while others accusing it of being ‘a clumsy display of political hatred’. As a result it has become the most polarizing film ever nominated for Best Film at the Academy Awards. However, the performances of Bale and Amy Adams in the role of Cheney’s wife – a key instrumental character in his rise to power – have received universal applause. The film, directed by Adam Mc Kay of The Big Short fame – another movie investigating American power politics - starts in the early 1960s, when Cheney is still a nobody who gets kicked out of Yale but is willing to do anything to ingratiate himself to his fiancée, Lynne. He starts working for the Republican party and eventually ends up teaming with Bush. While creating havoc in the world, Cheney has his personal demons to fight: repeated heart attacks and the coming out of one of his daughters. But ultimately the film is less about what goes on in Cheney’s soul and more about the dynamics of power, and how he contributed more that anyone before him to create an American style of presidential power that borders on contempt for the rules leading to the existential crisis of democracy that we see today

By Megan Albany UKI ART Gallery inside the Buttery at Uki is launching its first highly anticipated exhibition on Friday, February 15, from 6pm to 9pm. The gallery, which opened late last year, will be featuring five artists from the Uki Arts Collective including Christine Mellor, Diane Johannson, Natasha Scott, Paula Peach and Jillian Bowles in an exhibition titled Earth and Ocean. “The village of Uki is such an arty village and we’re seeing more and more just how creative it is,” Uki Art Gallery director Lisa Young said. “There was a need to have more than just the monthly art exhibitions at ArtPost, so the new gallery is another outlet to showcase our fantastic artists.” The exhibiting artists all work in different mediums and are all female artists. Part two of the exhibition will take place next month and feature all male artists. “Christine Mellor uses natural environmental products and also incorporates animal bones and snake skins,” Ms Young said. “Diane Johannson works with pastels and acrylics on canvas as well as using textiles to create women warrior sculptures. “Natasha Scott is a lino cutter and printer while Paula Peach is a photographer who makes her own frames using driftwood from our local rivers. “Jillian Bowles is a basketmaker who uses everything from the garden to create her beautiful work.”

Postmaster Wall said that if he was to continue to support the community arts event that he would need council to meet the business halfway. “It’s not just the cost of applying for the DA but there may also be contributions to the council for car parking,” he said. “I don’t know how much a car park costs in Uki, but in Cabarita they can be anything upwards of $28,000 per car park. “This is where it kills business, do I really want to spend $50,000 or more for car parks for an art project that doesn’t make me money when I’m already spending $10,000 a year on a project that’s supporting the local arts community? “The council are assisting wherever they can but when it comes to contributions they need to be seriously looking at those from a small business and community perspective.” Postmaster Wall went on to say that his concern was not just about art in the local post office but for other businesses wanting to support local artists. “Myself and the Art Post team are concerned for other venues that also exhibit art and have other events in that they may have to go to the great expense of getting consent, so this is not just about us but about saving art in the Tweed in general,” he said. As for the future of Art Post, Postmaster Wall said he was currently in talks with his town planner and architect and was working hard to find a way to rectify the situation. “I thought I was doing the right thing supporting the locals, I never wanted to break the law and I want to rectify the situation and get back to focusing on how much great stuff happens in this community,” he said. “It comes back to the old saying, ‘no regrets, no excuses’. “Whatever has happened has happened and now is the time to move forward and address concerns where necessary for an equal outcome for everyone.”

By Megan Albany UKI POSTMASTER Gary Wall recently told The Weekly that while he was taken by surprise that his monthly Art Post exhibitions required a Development Application, that he is now taking steps to comply with Tweed Shire Council requirements. Postmaster Wall said that before starting Art Post in September 2017, he had taken steps to comply with liquor licensing requirements for the monthly exhibitions, but that until recently he had been unaware of other compliance issues. “Before we had our first Art Post I called the liquor board and was told we don’t need a liquor licence if we are supplying complementary alcohol,” Postmaster Wall said. “We were told we just needed a person with an RSA (responsible service of alcohol) certificate, which I have.” “I honestly just thought that having a wall of art in a post office would be absolutely fine and I had no idea it would require a DA.” Since the first Art Post last year, Postmaster Wall said the event had become much bigger than first expected. “We didn’t think many people would turn up to the first event but over 150 people turned up, so we realised this had become a really exciting venue and we just started collaborating with local artists and their network of friends.” After being notified of his non-compliance, the postmaster met earlier this week with Kim Cronan, the Economic Development Officer for Tweed Shire Council, to discuss the concerns. “When you start a new business and diversify, you don’t know where it’s going to go,” he said. “When I met with Kim Cronan, we had a very good discussion and she said she is very aware that when a business grows things like this may pop up and add to the costs, and that if the costs are too high that you may need to take a decision to close it down.”

A BLOGGING company known as The Podcast Kings, visited the Uki post office earlier this week to help rally support for the continuation of the postal agency’s Art Post exhibitions as well as to promote other local businesses in the region. The company which has a mobile podcasting van and is hired regularly by major Sydney radio stations, turned up at the post office to support not only Art Post but also other businesses in the area.

Podcast Kings owner, Ben Starr along with Postmaster Gary Wall interviewed Tweed business owners including Mt Warning Tours, Foodie Fest and Mavis’s Kitchen along with local identities such as artist David Preston and the 92-year-old matriarch of Uki, Ida Daley about their vision for the region. “The interviews are available on our website and we also did a segment which we are sending to council to help them see our vision of what we think the Tweed can become.”

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Tweed Families against Violence: domestic violence is everybody’s business By Jo Kennett ORGANISERS OF the Tweed/ Byron Police District “Families against Violence” community event held at Jack Evans Boat Harbour on Friday, February 8 have praised the community for their support. The event featured Aboriginal cultural dancers, entertainers, kids activities, stall holders, and speeches from community leaders and culminated in over 80 community members marching along Wharf Street with lanterns and a 201-meter anti-violence banner. Aboriginal Community Liaison Officer (ACLO) at the Tweed Byron Police Command Beck Couch started the event in 2010 and said it kept growing from there. “It is really a community-led event focusing on our local role models and strong men and women in the community. We’re not reaching for the stars, we are acknowledging our local heroes,” she said. “This year the theme was, “We all have a responsibility in stopping domestic violence” - the message we give by not saying anything is saying it’s okay. “We all know it’s not okay therefore each and every one of us has a responsibility to speak out and to reach out if anyone knows anyone experiencing violence or if you are a victim of domestic violence, to reach out to police, to local service providers Momentum Collective, The Family Centre, New Horizons or a local community centre.” There were speeches from Aunty Dale and Uncle Des Williams and

Gary Kofoa - the male support worker for Momentum Collective who facilities a Strong Men’s group. “He spoke about the responsibility everyone has in stopping domestic violence in our community,” Ms Couch said. “ Tw e e d D e t e c t i v e C h i e f Inspector Brendon Cullen spoke acknowledging the Tweed Byron Aboriginal community for being leaders speaking up against domestic violence not only in the local Aboriginal community but in the wider community and for speaking up as we know it affects all cultures.” There were dance performances by Kids Caring for Country and Bunyarra Culture Collective. “Our entertainment was a fabulous duo Salt and Steel and they were sensational and entertained us all evening, Ms Couch told The Weekly. “We had a lot of service providers and businesses represented who came along and had stalls. “We had a lot of children activities; Save the Children ran kids activities, Momentum Collective did face painting Kalwun did ochre painting. “We had a guessing competition from the Men and Family Centre, Murwillumbah Community Centre did children’s activities, TAFE was there promoting different courses, Tweed Valley Sexual Assault Service, Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre and of course NSW Police Police Force. “Kirra Pizza Hut donated pizzas, Tweed City donated two $100 prizes, Bunnings Tweed Heads donated one $100 voucher and so did Coles Tweed City.”

Ms Couch said the event had grown significantly over the years. “There is much more awareness and support of the event and the services get a lot more acknowledgment,” she said. “The whole event was run with $1,000 funding from Women NSW as nearly everything was donated. “To host the whole event for $1,000 was amazing and we could only do it because all these wonderful community organisations, services and businesses have donated their time and services for free. “It’s all about giving back and that’s what makes it such a great event.” Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre Manager Angela Maxwell s a i d t h at m o s t o f P B N C ’s community support programs support a very high percentage of women and children impacted by domestic and family violence (DFV). “We joined with event organisers and community to make a stand against DFV, and to engage with community and talk about how PBNC and other organisations in the local service network respond to DFV,” Ms Maxwell said. “DFV is present within all cultures, all demographic and socio-economic groups, at all ages and stages between de facto and married and other family relationships and both men and women can be perpetrators and victims. “However, it is overwhelmingly men who commit domestic and sexual violence against women Australia’s statistics on the number of women murdered at the hands

of current or past male partners is shocking and gut-wrenching. “It is overwhelmingly a gendered problem and gender equality, healthy male role-modelling, respectful relationship education and bystander empowerment strategies are required to change this situation.” Ms Maxwell said that it was everybody’s business to take a stand on DFV. “Even if you are not impacted directly, you will know someone who is and that, as a bystander, there is always something that you can do,” she said. “We encourage people to contact national, state and local services to seek assistance or to find out how they can help those impacted. “Neighbourhood centres are well equipped to respond directly or to refer people to specialist services, depending on the individual circumstances.”

Sergeant Jackie Lilley was there with Tweed Byron Police to support the event and organisers and show support for Families against Violence. “We were very proud to be affiliated with such a positive event,” she said. “It creates greater community awareness and people are much more comfortable talking about domestic and family violence due to events like this. “I want to congratulate the organisers for putting the event together with such a minimal budget and the support from all the other organisations including Twin Towns - it was a massive set up and they were really helpful and went above and beyond so we were really grateful for that. “I was really impressed with the number of people that attended and the feedback from them was really positive.”

Because time really is money …. your money! Experience counts more than ever now. The average days on market for properties in Murwillumbah is 94 (3 months).

HOT WATER

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately? Ever Heard of a Sacrificial Anode?

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

FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in the Tweed & Gold Coast area FREE OF CHARGE.

“REMEMBER YOU CAN’T LOSE, NO ANODE REPLACEMENT NO CHARGE”

54 Local Sport Thursday, February 14, 2019

Holding with Shot Judy Tuckey TWEED BYRON District Men’s Championship Triples are now done and dusted with the semis and finals being conducted last Sunday. High quality bowls were observed during the day with scores not particularly indicating just how close some of the games panned out. Semi one in the Opens between Mullumbimby’s Paul Gray, Ben Leeson and Richie Northcott and Ocean Shores’ Andrew Montgomery, JT Gray and Troy Makin resulted in an evenly matched contest throughout with the scores on 14-14 after fifteen ends, 21-21 on the 23rd and 22-22 on the final end to force an extra end with the Mullum lads clinching victory after snatching the one shot needed to go forward. Semi two between Kingscliff’s Terry Lee, Paul Watson and Steve Massey and Cabarita’s Greg Matfin, Rowan Norris and Darren Black began with close scoring during the early ends with the score on 7-7 after eleven ends before the Kingscliff team powered up, took over control, and only conceded five shots to the Caba lads during the remainder of the game and claimed victory with a solid margin. The Kingscliff vs Mullumbimby final resulted in a tough encounter for both teams. Kingscliff led for the first nine ends. Mullumbimby then fired up to take over the lead and were sitting on 17-12 up coming into the 22nd end. A resurgence from team Massey in a nail biting final three ends didn’t quite make the grade as

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals Northcott and co. held on strongly and cemented their place in the Zone play-offs with one shot to spare. Reserve Grade semis with Bangalow’s Gerry Swain, Jeff Nolan and Richard Rombouts challenging Ocean Shores’ Brian Howell, Neil McLeod and Ray Linabury was another closely fought duel. Bangalow held a narrow lead throughout the game to hold on well and advance to the finals with a one shot buffer. Kingscliff’s Colin Scott, Bill Tyrrell and Noel Dunstone were on the receiving end of a bad day at the office in their duel with Cudgen Leagues’ Andy Stockdale, Les Browning and Brian Turner in Semi Two. While giving it their best, the Kingscliff team failed to fire in the clash, leaving the Cudgen lads to claim a berth in the final with a solid margin. The final between Cudgen Leagues and Bangalow was, indeed, a well-played event. After twelve ends the teams were even on 11-11. As the battle raged Cudgen lads were in front 20-16 coming into the 21st end. An intense effort from the Bangalow boys resulted in them snatching three singles and then a big 5 on the 24th end to grab the lead and hold that position to claim victory. Semis in the Senior Triples were close scoring games. Semi One with Kingscliff’s Max King, Tom Eadie and Geoff Mullen challenging Condong’s Terry Walsh, Gary Cox and Robert McBurney was a topsy turvey event. Kingscliff led 10-0 after five ends and progressed to 15-3 after four more ends, then the wheels fell off. The lads remained scoreless for the next seven ends resulting in Condong catching up and taking over the lead. Game on. In a concerted effort from both teams, Kingscliff lads then came back to take the game with a narrow margin. Condong members also featured in semi

two. Brian Moore, Peter Ayres and Maurie Penfold were challenging Cabarita’s Dennis Blackadder, Doug Moir and Laurie Freeman. This semi resulted in a close contest for the first twelve ends until Condong upped the ante to be on 18-9 after nineteen ends. A resurgence from Freeman and co. saw the scores even out on 19-19 on the final end to force an extra end. Penfold’s team then came back strongly to collect the one shot needed to go forward. The Kingscliff vs. Condong final was another hard fought game. Condong led all throughout the game and were on 21-12 after eighteen ends. A valiant fight back from Kingscliff resulted in the gap being reduced dramatically but not enough to contain the Condong Boys who now go forward to the Zone finals after claiming victory with a narrow margin. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Fill the hill for Tweed Coast Raiders Challenge Cup clash against Coffs Harbour THE TWEED Coast Raiders take on Group 2 winners the Coffs Harbour Comets in the NSW Rugby League Challenge Cup and the Raiders are calling on locals to fill the hill on Sunday February 17 at Les Burger Field, Cabarita. Brent Kite is back coaching and will lead the 2018 NRRRL premiers into the knockout competition made up of the 10 best teams from NSW Rugby League metro comps and six of the best from the Country Rugby League with $30,000 prize money up for grabs. Raiders hooker Dan Willoughby said that winning the Clayton Cup (awarded to the best team in NSW Country Rugby League) had given the team the right to compete in the Challenge Cup. “The Challenge Cup is a good concept. We’re up against the Coffs

Comets this Sunday which will be tough because they won their group,” he said. “We’re missing a few players from last year but I think we’ve got a strong team. “We’ve got the same core players and everyone is a year older and we’re building year on year so it’s just another challenge. “We’ve all worked hard so it should be a good event and we want to fill the hill - we’re back on, the taps will be on and the food will be running hot and hopefully we can get the win this weekend.” Daniel “Rocket” Ross said the game provided a good pre-season opportunity. “It will be a good test for the boys and set us up for the start of the season,” he told The Weekly. “I’ve heard a bit about Coffs Harbour - I believe they’re a pretty

strong team but we’ve have had a good pre-season so full credit to the boys. I think we’re ready to go. “We had to beef some of them up a bit like Luke. Toon - he’s one of our secret weapons and now he’s ready to go.” Ross had some words for the Comets. “Just be ready for a pretty physical game. We’ve got a pretty solid forward pack and a lot of quick backs so if we can get our forwards going I believe that will lay the platform for our backs and we’ll start firing from there. “Dan Willoughby was very unlucky not to get player of the year last year; he got man of the match in the grand final and if he can keep that form up we’re laughing - we know he’ll give 100 per cent every game.”

McDowell scoring 35, Connor Ziebell 46 and Alec Williams getting the half century 51 not out when Cudgen declared at 3/142. Alstonville went on for the 2nd innings but only managed 3/20 with wickets from Conor Ziebell (1/3) James Julius (1/ 6) and Alec Williams (1/0) putting Cudgen in a great position going into next week’s play but all the Tweed teams still have their work cut out to make it into the finals.

scored on 64 while Luke Manning got 24. Terranora played Tintenbar-East Ballina with no scores available.

Daniel Ross, Kalani Hensby and Dan Willoughby are ready to rumble

Assistant coach Mike Ashburn said the Raiders have been training hard. “We have a lot of younger guys in the team this weekend, from Under 18s and reserve grade,” he said. “If we win this game we go into the second round and hopefully can go on from there.”

“The game starts at 2.30pm and we want to see all the hillbillies back on the hill but we’d love everyone in the area to come and cheer us on because we are representing the NRRRL in the best of the NSW regional rugby league.” Venue: Les Burger Field Cabarita. Time: 2.30pm Sunday February 17.

Julius on fire for Cudgen while Scholz shines for Pottsville in Coastal League

IN THE first day of Round 7 in the Two Day LJ Hooker League Pottsville played Murwillumbah at Seabreeze on Saturday February 9. Murwillumbah won the toss and went in to bat but got off to a slow start with three wickets down and only ten runs on the board before Vinnie Quiqley and Will Chapples came to the crease and settled in with a 100-run partnership. Quigley got out on 46 and Adam Melville took his place and scored 27 runs with the Panthers making 189 runs after 64 overs. Jayden Hoare (3/30 and Jamie Bennett (3/20) were the best bowlers for Pottsville with Bryan Wirth and Sabah Syed taking two each. Hoare opened the batting for Pottsville but was caught out by Ben Champley with 14 runs on the board. Adam Rogers was on 27 not out and Jamie Bennett was 14 not out with Pottsville 1/59 at the end of play. Cudgen took on Alstonville away with the hosts winning the toss and batting first. James Julius was on fire bowling, taking 5/25 with Alstonville only managing 115 runs. Jake Weir also impressed, taking 2/8. Cudgen went into bat and took control of the game, with Conor

Cudgen had a bye while Pottsville played Murwillumbah at Murwillumbah. Pottsville won the toss and sent the Panthers in to bat. Will McLean scored 15 runs before Oscar Scholz took him down, the start of a bowling spree that netted Scholz 5/31 and the holy grail of cricketing awards, the Pottsville Pelican of the Week. Harris McLean made the Panthers on Parade honour roll scoring 63 before being taking out by Troy Thoms who was also in fine form taking 3/17. From there it was all downhill for Murwillumbah with a total of 128 runs from 36 overs. Po t t s v i l l e we n t i n t o b at , overtaking the hosts with the loss of only two wickets. Ash Barnes top

Thirsty Thirds The Kegs played the Schooners winning the toss and going in to bat. Scott Bruce scored a half century making 54 before being bowled out by Merv Kempnich for a total of 160. Chris Humphries was the best of the bowlers with 3/13 while M Togo got 2/14. The Schooners came out firing with two half centuries,

with Andrew McKay (51) and Doug Slockee (50) both retiring. Kempnich scored 33 with James McCann getting the only wicket as the Schooners took the win with 1/161. The Cougars played Pottsville with no scores available as with the Cabarita game against Cudgen 2.

Cudgen 1 batted first against the Bobcats at Murwillumbah and showed the Bobcats who the boss was from the moment Peter Mamone stepped up to the crease, finishing not out on 51, with Steve Kiddle top scoring on 52.

Todd Fugar was next best on 35 but it was a great effort from all the Cudgen batsmen with a combined total of 8/264. In reply the Bobcats put in a great effort but fell short, all out for 191 with no breakdown of scores available. The top bowlers for Cudgen were Kiddle taking 3/25 and Lee Balgowan taking 2/27. Also a big shout out to the Potty juniors who were on the winning team at the Bunnings BBQ club fundraiser. Well done kids for your awesome team spirit.

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC - Keith Kennedy Our members who represented NSW Country recently justified their selection by their results in the Country Titles, all gaining at least one gold. Outstanding was Kia Onley, who gained eleven gold in the U19 and Open Male Events. Multiple gold also to Anthea Warne eight, Hayley Smith six, Lily O’Sullivan five, Joseph Warne four, as did Claudia Crawford and Scott McCartney. Envirobank were the Carnival sponsor and they ran a competition for collection of recycle items with the winner to receive a cheque for $200 which was won by our nippers. The NSW President, David Murray was in attendance and addressed the VIP gathering at a morning tea in the Clubhouse on Sunday. Details of the recent NSW government grant of $16 million are that $4 million each year for four years is to be spent for the purchase of IRB’s and motors, an expensive but necessary item of equipment for the 129 NSW Surf Clubs. Congratulations to Salt SLS Club on the completion and official opening of their new building. Starting with nothing and to have such an asset must be very satisfying, particularly for their foundation members. Our older members recall

the period in 1962-64 when Cudgen had no building and the Kingscliff Amenities Hall was used to store the patrol equipment and members slept on the floor on Saturday nights. The Club Championships were conducted last Saturday morning in good surf conditions and good spirit. RESULTS: Open Male: 1. Luke Chaffer 30 pts. 2. Angus McPhail 20 pts. -19 Male: equal 1st. Cody Bell & Bailey Copeland 22 pts. -19 Female: 1. Anthea Warne 23 pts. 2. Elise O’Callaghan 22 pts. 3. Sofie Boyd 17 pts. -17 Male: 1. Joseph Warne 22 pts. 2. Liam Worling 19 pts. 3.

Crews challenged by strong Sou-Easter 14 BOATS competed last Sunday in the Tweed Valley Sailing Clubs twice yearly Chinderah Challenge, racing from Fingal Head to Chinderah and return. A strong and gusty sou-easterly breeze tested the crews and several boats were capsized. First finisher today was Adam Hurt and Tom Busbridge sailing Adam’s new NS14. Things didn’t all go Adam’s way, as Corsair “Swell Lady” (Monique Smith, Matt Andrews and Deb Flannery) pushed them hard all the way and finished close behind in 2nd place. Third was Laser “Bluey” sailed by Kate yeoman and 4th was Corsair “Minnow” (Bill Fenelon, Igor Prada and Laura Leimua).

All the Action at Newcastle this weekend THE CITY of Newcastle and surrounds have all the action this week with the final of the Australian Boardriders Battle. Snapper Rocks Surfriders will be off to try win another title to add to the overcrowded trophy cabinet at Snapper Rocks. Not sure if they will have all their starstudded squad available, teams are yet to be announced. Joel Parkinson has surfed more events than ever since he retired. Probably an easier gig on tour! Teams are yet to be confirmed, but Snapper will have a ripper of a team, and the biggest classic is that if he does surf, Parko will be surfing as a Master! Wow, when Parko is your “old guy” in the team that is one hell of a squad. Stephanie Gilmore may be busy, but what a backup of young ladies they have, with Qld Women’s champion and Junior ripper, Piper Harrison, another Pro Junior ripper Pacha Luque-Light, WQS Charger, Koby Enright, and NSW Women’s Champion too, Alyssa

Lock, who has a Wildcard to the Pro at Snapper. Not to mention the rest of the team. Could this be Snapper’s year again? Burleigh Boardriders and Point Lookout (Nth Stradbroke) have strong teams as well. Newcastle’s Merewether Surfboard Club joins Phillip Island Boardriders Club, North Shelly Boardriders Club, North Narrabeen Boardriders Club and Culburra Beach Boardriders Club as five of the six wildcard clubs to compete in the two-day National Final. Merewether will boast a line-up that will include the likes of World Surf League (WSL) star Ryan Callinan whilst defending Champions Culburra Beach Boardriders Club will potentially field a team consisting of three members of the Wright family with two-time WSL Women’s World Champion Tyler to join brothers and WSL men’s tour stars Owen and Mikey in what will be a hard team to beat. Adrian Buchan (Avoca), Soli Bailey (Byron Bay), Bronte Macaulay (Margaret River), Nikki van Dijk (Phillip Island)

At the helm

with Bill Fenelon

It was a very pleasant afternoon on the river, sailing upstream as far as Oxley Cove into the magnificent view of Wollumbin in the distance. Todays race was completed in record time of 1 hour and 50 minutes, thanks to the tide assisting boats in both directions. Next week the club takes a break from sailing and the next Race at Fingal will be on February 24.

Image Courtesy of Blainey Woodham and Surfing Australia and Connor O’Leary (Elouera) are just a few of the many other big names to bolster an already star-studded field of surfers. Connor O’Leary said “We are super excited about the nudie Australian Boardriders Battle final weekend. I say this every year but I think it’s one of the most exciting events of the year and such a good start to the competitive season to get the ball rolling. It’s such an epic event not only for spectators but competitors as well.” You will be able to catch the action on line, or I believe that it may be telecast again on Foxsports as well. But considering the surf could be pumping this weekend by the looks of the forecast, so I might just have to catch up inbetween sessions on the points. Jack Robinson took out last weeks Volcom Pipe Pro which was a great result for the young West Aussie Pipe specialist.
