Power Independence with Solar Batteries

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

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

24 Hour Solar Power

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

888

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

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

The Truth About the

Every cent of the Solar Bonus generated by your existing system is collected right up until the end of the scheme, when both system are combined. Your new hybrid solar system allows greater independence and typically pays for itself in 3-5 years. 888 Solar Tek tailor the new solar system around your existing equipment and provide 12 months free monitoring and support. If you have very low electricity usage you may choose to go off the grid altogether to eliminate fixed supply charges that make up a large part of your bill. 888 Solar Tek have new technologies that can operate both on and off the grid. This makes staged transition to energy self-sufficiency cost effective and avoids costly equipment change-over.

REAL Cost of Solar Batteries...

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

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

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

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

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

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

NSW Solar bonus scheme ends this year!

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

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

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

New Tweed hospital win but awaiting details

Local News 3

A PRIVATE CREMATION

     

AFTER YEARS of waiting the NSW State Government announced $534 million for a new Tweed hospital site, which is being celebrated by clinicians as a win for the shire but still lacks vital detail and comes with a schedule of almost five years before completion. Although several sites have been shortlisted, the announcement did not include where the hospital would be located, or the total number of beds. Details around the future of Murwillumbah Hospital were also yet to be revealed. The Tweed Hospital currently has around 230 beds and it’s anticipated that the new hospital site will have many more beds and include specialist services not currently offered at the current hospital. The Tweed Hospital is also under enormous pressure and sees about 50,000 patients in its emergency department every year, making it one of NSW’s busiest hospitals outside western Sydney. Some of the highlights for the new hospital will “likely include” more overnight beds, more operating theatres, a larger emergency department, an integrated cancer care service and enhanced cardiac care services. The announcement was made by NSW State Treasurer Dominic Perrottet, Deputy Premier John Barilaro, Minister for Health Brad Hazzard and Member for Tweed Geoff Provest, who visited The Tweed Hospital and announced that the 2017-18 Budget on Tuesday, June 13, including funding of up to $534 million for a new hospital in the Tweed. Mayor Katie Milne, Councillor Warren Polglase and Council GM Troy Green were also present for the announcement. Mr Barilaro said the new hospital will greatly improve health services for the region, which is forecast to grow by more than 40 per cent to 128,000 people by 2031. “The Tweed Shire is the latest area to benefit from the NSW Government’s pledge to enhance regional health services as part of a record hospital-building boom,” Mr Barilaro said. Mr Perrottet said the State Government has its books in order. “When you’re in a strong economic position you can reinvest in your communities and I’m delighted that the Tweed community will have a new, state-of-the-art hospital,” Mr Perrottet said. Mr Hazzard said that senior clinicians consulted during the planning process and lobbying by Mr Provest helped form the decision to build a new hospital in the area, given the constraints of the current site. “Local member Geoff Provest has been lobbying and advocating for the Tweed community and the Tweed’s nursing and medical workforce for world-class facilities,” Mr Hazzard said. “At Geoff’s invitation, I’ve met with the Medical Staff Council at Tweed Hospital to hear exactly what they need to continue delivering excellent patient care – and this new hospital will deliver just that.” Mr Provest said it was “fabulous news” and is the biggest news for the Tweed in decades. “A new hospital for the Tweed area means patients in our

region will get a welcoming, modern facility that provides the best care for the future,” Mr Provest said. An Expression of Interest and site selection process to identify the most suitable site for the new hospital will commence shortly. Over the coming months, the project team will work with staff and clinicians to understand how services will be delivered at the new hospital. This will determine the project design and construction program, which should be finalised mid-next year. Meanwhile, the Labor party has responded to the State Government’s hospital announcement expressing “deep concern” about whether the much-needed Tweed Hospital will occur due to what the party said were “continually shifting plans and broken promises”. Shadow Health Minister Walt Secord and Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot also expressed their fears about the lack of detail surrounding the announcement – saying they believed it was “another National Party stalling trick” to “give false hope to the community”. “Every budget the community gets excited about a new promise and then nothing happens,” Mr Secord said in a media statement following the announcement. “The north coast is expecting a population explosion and deserves a proper hospital to meet the community’s needs,” Mr Secord said. Mrs Elliot said that the last three years had seen the promises go from an upgrade to a revised upgrade to a possible greenfield site and now a new hospital. Mrs Elliot also flagged that on June 2, 2017, the Tweed medical staff council said they needed a major hospital “costing up to $1.1 billion” to meet the growing needs of the region. “The Nationals have ignored the needs of the community for too long and now on the eve of an election, they are desperately trying to undo their years of neglect,” she said. Mrs Elliot also highlighted several concerns with what she said were “scant details” including the funding model for the hospital. “Including whether or not it will be a privatised model, a Private-Public Partnership like four other regional hospitals or a fully publicly funded hospital,” she said. Politics aside, Mayor Milne said the announcement will bring a range of benefits to the Tweed Shire including improved health services and employment. Mayor Milne also offered Council support to bring the project to fruition. “Having new services such as specialist oncology and cardiac units would be welcome additions and would mean that many people living locally and dealing with lifethreatening and chronic illnesses can be treated locally and not have to travel south to Lismore or north to Brisbane or the Gold Coast University Hospital,” she said. “A $534 million investment to the region will also bring a raft of economic benefits which will result in significant jobs being created over the four years of construction, as well as the ongoing employment which will be created through increased beds, medical units and the varying services required to support a hospital of this size.

If you can’t do the speed limit get off the road

responsibility of other drivers to drive with due caution to avoid you. As a licensed driver, Mr. Pratt is entitled to drive in the left lane at a speed that is comfortable to him. Susan Powell, Murwillumbah

Taxes should apply to all churches

Well said and so true Andrew Bennett in your letter of June 8 regarding the Catholic Church. I wish to add that all Religious Organisations/Churches/Sects/ Cults should be taxed according to their income/donations just as we honest workers have always had to pay our taxes accordingly. Clive Woodward, Tweed Heads

Catholic Church performs essential community service

Obviously Mr Pratt has no common sense regarding this issue. Our motorways are in place and consist of multiple lanes so our ever increasing population can get to their destinations in a reasonable time. They are speed limited (both minimum and maximum) for safety reasons. I challenge Mr Pratt to travel this M1 early in the mornings and also from 3pm to 6pm on weekdays and see for himself the congestion that is caused by drivers not able to merge onto the M1 at the correct speed and then continue to do the maximum safe speed as signposted. Also there is no “slow lane” as he suggests - there are three lanes all expected to flow smoothly at the safe 110kmh as signposted. So in answer to your questions Mr Pratt - yes it is acceptable to not signpost a minimum speed and there is no secret about this and the reason being - if you are not capable of driving at the signposted speed limits on our roads then it is time to hand your license in as you and many others just like yourself cause immense frustration on our roads. In reply to your comment: no wonder there are accidents - I totally agree. It is no wonder when we have people like yourself who think it is their god given right to take leisurely drives on our open motorways. Lesley Watt, Tweed Heads

I am not a Catholic, but I feel I should challenge Andrew Bennett’s vicious attack on the Catholic Church in Letters to the Editor (TVW, June 8). Most of the 5.4 million Catholics in Australia (that’s 22.7 per cent of the population) would acknowledge that there have been abuses in the Catholic Church, and do not condone them. However, Mr Bennett’s main criticism of the Church seems to be that it is wealthy. Given that much of this wealth is spent on social, health, and education programs, as well as alleviation of poverty in third world countries, is having this wealth and using it for human benefit as wrong as Mr Bennett seems to think? Parents who send their children to Catholic or other church schools pay their tax along with the rest of Australians, and deserve a share of the education budget. The reality is that if the Catholic Church, along with all the other churches, discontinued their education, health and social programs, the government would simply not be able to take up the slack financially, and it would probably lead to substantial tax increases for the rest of us. It is also sad to read his smears of George Pell, a further contribution to the hateful witch hunt, which continues to produce no charges. Christine Passmore, Tweed

I was alarmed by Ian Pratt’s (TVW June 8) experience, being pulled over by NSW police while driving at 85 in the left lane in a 110 zone on the M1. I do not call 85 ‘slow’. Travelling in the left lane at 85 does not restrict traffic flow, and is not illegal. Mr. Pratt should report this incident to his local police as I don’t believe this was legal. No where in the statutes does it inform a driver that you have to travel at the nominated speed limit. It’s the

Our political system, Parole Boards, Administrative Appeals Tribunal and Courts are a total mess of incompetence, they must have all prior convictions placed before them to fully adjudicate on inherent criminality that cannot be changed. Violent intolerance is an inherited factor carried through generations by genetic memory, it is a reversion to the primitive ancestral genetics and practiced norms of their homelands. C o u r t s, Pa ro l e B o a rd s,

Nothing wrong with going slow in left lane

Criminal justice system needs fixing

Administrative Appeals Tribunal and Politicians incompetent stupidity defies any form of logic or justification, they insult our integrity. Politicians should have legislated direction to protect the people, but instead they ignored this requirement of government preferring to carry on with petty bickering and childish slanging matches in Parliament. Politicians work on ‘crashprevention’ after an instance h a s w r e a ke d h avo c o n t h e community for years, they then decide to try to fix it—that is total incompetent stupidity. Had they used ‘preventative-maintenance’ as is standard practice in farming, business and industry where potential problems are identified and neutralised before they reach problem stage, many innocent lives would be saved, violence, brutality, rape and robbery would be prevented; and we as a nation would be much wealthier and in a far better cohesive direction. Gil May, Forestdale

Let’s not change Kingscliff

Let’s face facts, Kingscliff is pretty pleasantly unique, due to building heights, lets keep it that way. Any western expansion will now be on floodplains which will entail a lot of fill. If developers wish to spend that amount of money let’s keep the standard high, just how it is. Ken Hansen, Kingscliff

Go to the Gold Coast if you want high rise

Regarding the debate about building heights, Kingscliff has positively been recognised as a place of beauty away from the madness of high rise buildings. The tragedy would be if Kingscliff lost its tranquil character. People who want to live in high rise buildings can find them short distances north. Ron Cooper is to be admired for his efforts to retain height limits at Kingscliff to protect the Tweed from “greedy property developers”. Karan Varker, Tweed

Let’s look at the facts around building heights

I shouldn’t be surprised my TVW 7/6 comments have seen me quickly labeled by some as a dyed-in-thewool National and/or Liberal voter – which I’m not. People’s political allegiances mean nothing to me. What’s important is their respect for actual facts and their ability to set aside personal bias to facilitate intelligent assessment of issues. Sadly the present unrest is exacerbated because too many are holding onto grudges that should have been left behind in 2005. Yes, while the decision of a council majority to disregard the 1979 new planning legislation resulted in

The often mentioned 14000 signature Kingscliff petition has been used to support various things, from the retention of three-story limits, support for the Locality plan, to the degree of community consultation. Some questions then on this much vaunted petition. Has the nice round number 14,000 petition been presented to Council, has any test of authentication, verification or duplication been conducted on said petition, has a breakdown of the locations of the petitioners been complied? There are 6000 residents of ‘Kingscliff ’ say 66% signed the petition, leaving 10,000 outsider signatures used by proponents to shore up their argument. Would these ‘outsiders’ from Brisbane, Melbourne or wherever be happy about outsiders from Kingscliff having a say in their local plans not likely. I was asked three (3) times to sign the petition with the words to the effect that the petition was to stop (slippery slope) high rise from coming to Kingscliff. Community consultation - I don’t think so! James Cooper, Kingscliff

twenty-five years of often vicious attacks on those of us who fought to uphold legislation and insist on truth being the basis for commentary and decision-making, it’s long past time to move on. This also applies to those dealing unsatisfactorily with the aging process by seeking destructive gladiatorial action to fill up empty spaces, rather than applying themselves to constructive activities of benefit to fellow human beings and the Tweed. On a positive note, I thank the friends and acquaintances who are acknowledging my attempts to set records straight, and don’t judge me when some of my opinions are not theirs.

Quick thinking public help as car slides into creek TWEED POLICE have praised the quick-thinking actions of the public after an elderly woman reversed her car into a creek at Wooyung on Tuesday, June 13. Police said it was about 9am when a 73-year-old woman was reversing her car, a late model white Toyota Prado, on a property on Warwick Park Road. The car slid into the creek after recent heavy rains caused the creek edge and road to become slippery. The woman was trapped in the partially submerged car with her head just above water level, allowing her to breathe. Her husband, family friend and two nearby residents came

Tweed crime down

THE LATEST crime figures for the Tweed Shire reveal several positive results when compared to the previous 12 months, according to NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics, with break and enters down 25 per cent (299 offences to 226). The statewide data compared crime numbers from the 12 months to March 2016 to the 12 months to March 2017. The Tweed was found to have a lower rate of crime per 100,000 compared to the state average in all crime categories minus murder which went from one to two. Indecent assault, sexual offences and domestic violence remain a crime concern with a 12 per cent increase in indecent assault and other sexual offences which went from 65 to 73. Domestic violence saw a 6.5 per cent increase compared to the previous year rising from 239 to 312. Theft from vehicles, which often include mobile devices, saw a slight increase from 353 to 371 or five per cent up. Another notable crime area for Tweed included fraud up from 414 to 446 which is a 7.7 per cent increase. Statewide, the report found none of the major crime categories increased over the last two years.

Correction: incorrect story and image used for Boyd Street development site THE WEEKLY has incorrectly used an image and reference to the Tweed Day Surgery & Specialist Centre building on Boyd Street which is not mooted for a housing redevelopment. The image and statement appeared on page 5 (June 8, 2017) and text incorrectly showed and stated the Tweed Day Surgery building (38-44 Boyd Street), which is not the address for the recently announced new development. The site for the social and affordable housing development is instead located across the road at 33-35 Boyd Street as pictured below. The Tweed Day Surgery & Specialist Centre is a privately owned building and will remain that way. The Weekly would like to remind readers that the Tweed Day Surgery & Specialist Centre is open and is not being redeveloped. The Weekly would also like to apologise to all businesses that occupy the Tweed Day Surgery & Specialist Centre and readers for this mistake. The corrected story is below: THE NSW Government has announced a tender to develop a vacant site at 33-35 Boyd Street, Tweed Heads (pictured), into a private, social and affordable housing development of up to 50 units, available in a bid to address mounting housing shortages and increasing homelessness. The 1,900 square-metre site is zoned R3 Medium Residential Density and allows for a building height of 28m. Of the 50 units the Land and Housing Corporation will commit to purchase 15 social housing dwellings. The remainder of the development will be private and affordable homes. The site is open for tenders until July 31, for more information visit www.tenders.nsw.gov.au

Murwillumbah High School Arts Week 2017 Mesmerising. Heartfelt. Sublime.

A SENSE of dread washed over the Tweed Shire this week as the first big wet since the March floods set in on Saturday, June 17, with heavy downpours lasting several days and adding further anxiety to a still fragile community. The forecasters at the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) found it difficult to give accurate rain estimates for the Northern Rivers, due to a slow moving low-pressure system which eventually dumped a total of more than 250mm across the Tweed Shire in four days. Most of the rainfall was on Saturday to Tuesday, with Burringbar receiving 253mm and Upper Crabbies Creek 265mm, which were the highest rainfall recordings in the shire. Further south of the Tweed received higher rainfall totals with around 288mm recorded at Terania Creek. The waterways and river systems managed the excess water with drains flowing and river levels below minor flood levels across the region.

PREPARATION CONTINUES for our Arts Week events which include two spectacular performances on the evenings of Tuesday, June 20 and Thursday, June 22, with matinee performances scheduled for local primary schools. The performances showcase a plethora of talent ranging from musical and dramatic pieces to circus arts and offer a snapshot of the gifted students of Murwillumbah High School. This event has traditionally been a platform for HSC students to showcase their major works in progress as well as displaying creative talents across the student body. In addition to the staged performances, the evening hosts a walk through gallery showcasing visual art works. A few words from our Creative Director, Ms Jodi MacKenzie: “The Arts Week buzz has already begun to ignite the passions and inspire the imagination of the many students involved,” she said. “Despite the cooler weather and an already busy schedule, students and teachers have dedicated themselves to staging yet another

Concerns reached their peak on Monday, June 12, when BOM issued a “flood watch” for minor to moderate flooding for the Tweed Shire, with areas such as Mooball and Upper Burringbar experiencing flash flooding with several flood-prone roads inundated since Sunday, June 11. A BOM forecaster told The Weekly that a slow-moving low-pressure trough along the NSW north coast had caused the persistent rain, however, the forecaster said the weather patterns were not comparable to ex-tropical cyclone Debbie, which dumped more than 100mm in less than two hours and more than 700mm in less than three days. “During the ex-tropical cyclone Debbie the Tweed Shire experienced more than 100mm in two hours, which is not the case here and we’re seeing more like 100mm in 24-hour periods,” the forecaster said. Meanwhile, Murwillumbah SES remained on standby although volunteer rescue teams had only assisted with leaky roofs and an incident in which a woman’s car slid into a creek at Wooyung.

Feeling Dizzy?

You could have a balance or vestibular disorder

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

o achieve good physical balance, we rely on our brain, eyes, innerear, and musculoskeletal system to work in harmony.

you’re in with a chance,” Mr Hart said. “That’s why we’re urging all players to check their tickets as soon as possible. “If you discover you are holding the winning ticket, contact NSW Lotteries on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.” NSW Lotteries customers can purchase a single ticket number into the Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot for $2.20 and the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot for $5.50. Mr Hart said there have been some amazing tales of lottery winners going unclaimed only to later find the golden ticket and realising, in one case, a man had won $1 million. The happy winner, who was from Newcastle, won a division one prize of $1,020,496.38, admitted he’d been “a bit stupid” by misplacing and forgetting about his ticket for 414 days. “I line the bottom of my reusable Aldi shopping bags with old beer cartons to give them some strength,” he said. “The ticket was hidden in underneath it and I didn’t know it was there.” NSW Lottery ticket holders have up to six years to claim a prize.

A TWEED resident or visitor is yet to claim their $100,000 Lottery first prize purchased from Tweed City News after more than week has passed since the draw. Tweed City News staff are eagerly awaiting the lucky ticket holder who 1st Prize from Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot draw 10162. The winning entry was not registered to a Players Club card, so NSW Lotteries said they had no way of contacting the winner. Tweed City News owner Alistair Liddemore said he was thrilled another one of his customers had won with an entry from his store. “During the past 15 years, we’ve had at least 10 customers win division one or 1st Prize. It’s great to add another win to our collection,” he said. “I hope the winner comes forward soon.” NSW Lotteries spokesperson Matt Hart said he was eager to confirm the winning news with Tweed’s latest Lucky Lotteries winner and urged all players to check their tickets as soon as possible. “You may not think it’s possible that you are holding the winning ticket, but if you purchased an unregistered Lucky Lotteries Super Jackpot entry from Tweed City News,

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

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

and hazardous for the harvester crews and farmers. The large amount of silt that was deposited on the cane by the flood water will make burning the cane, before harvest, problematic and the high mud levels in the harvested crop will make milling operations difficult. This year’s flood event has highlighted the importance of adequate flood mitigation and a well-engineered and properly maintained flood plain drainage system. Effective drainage of the Tweed Shire’s flood plains is essential to all agriculture and residents who occupy flood prone areas. Damage to the sugar industry’s road infrastructure has been severe and extensive repairs are currently being undertaken by contractors who are busily trying to complete works before harvest begins. In conclusion, I wish all growers, harvesting crews and mill employees a safe and successful harvest season, with favourable weather for a change.

HEAVY RAIN has put a dampener on the start of harvest season for Tweed Shire cane farmers, who are holding on to a bumper season that’s endured some of the toughest conditions on record. The Tweed District sugar cane harvest is scheduled to begin on June 19 provided the rain has eased with hopes for the harvest to finish around November 16, weather permitting. The crop estimate is 515,000 tonnes this year which is slightly down on last year but was to be expected following poor growing conditions this year. A very dry late Spring and Summer was followed by possibly the biggest flood since European settlement. The effect of this flooding on the cane’s ability to mature will not be known until harvest begins but many fields have been severely damaged with dead cane evident. Of great concern is the large amount of flood debris that has lodged within the crop. This will make harvesting very difficult

THE TWEED VALLEY is one of the most fertile and productive sugar cane regions in Australia. For more than 130 years generations of local farmers have built an industry that provides jobs and business opportunities that benefit the whole of the Tweed Valley community. The NSW Sugar Industry is considered the southern gateway of Australia’s sugar industry and is the origin of sugar cane growing in Australia. Sugar cane production in the Tweed, Richmond and Clarence Valleys dates back to the 1860s and is one of the oldest and largest employers in the Northern Rivers. Today, Sunshine Sugar is the only 100 per cent Australian owned manufacturer of locally grown, certified sustainable, raw and refined sugar products. With a turnover in excess of $200 million, Sunshine Sugar employs up to 1,000 direct and indirect staff and has a grower base of more than 500 farmers. The industry owns sugar mills at Harwood, Broadwater and Condong and a refinery co-located at the Harwood site. Northern Rivers growers can produce up to 2.4 million tonnes of sugar cane each year from 34,000 hectares of land. This cane is crushed at any one of the three local sugar mills to produce 275,000 tonnes of raw sugar which is either refined at the Refinery or sold as direct consumption raw sugar which is produced at Condong. Sunshine Sugar manufactures private label sugar for some of Australia’s major retailers as well as its own Sunshine Sugar label that is sold through independent grocery stores.

Refined and raw sugar is sold to over 300 different customers across all types of food and beverage manufacturing, in quantities ranging from 1kg bags to bulk tankers and trucks. Food grade molasses is also sold to food manufacturers and processors, and mill molasses supplied to primary producers. Sunshine Sugar prides itself on being an industry that not only supports itself, but contributes to the health and wealth of our local communities. For example, Sunshine Sugar has worked to achieve status as ‘Bonsucro Certified Sustainable’ under the international Bonsucro Standard. The aim of the Bonsucro Standard is to promote measurable standards in the environmental and social impacts of sugarcane production and primary processing while recognising the need for economic viability. Sunshine Sugars’ Harwood Refinery was the first in the world to be awarded Bonsucro certification. The NSW sugar industry is committed to maintaining its economic and environmental viability and has driven significant investment to enhance market competitiveness over the past decade. The NSW sugar industry works collaboratively, researching cane growing practices that aim to improve land use, producing new and improved cane varieties, advancing farm machinery and improving drainage methods. The industry welcomes new sugar cane growers and cane land investors and actively assists farmers and land owners in increasing their productivity and profitability.

Sweet Talk with Robert Hawken

RECENT HEAVY rainfall will delay the start of harvest for the Condong Sugar Mill which is frustrating for growers, millers and harvest crews. The cane crop was responding well to the dry and mild conditions in May and more wet weather at this time is likely to have a negative impact on harvesting conditions, affecting cane quality and sugar content. Large amounts of flood debris continue to be retrieved from the perimeters of cane fields. This will be an ongoing and tedious operation during the progress of this year’s

harvest, for the twenty to thirty people employed to operate the harvesting machinery. Growers will need to assist harvesting crews in this clean-up process. Cane growers also continue to be engaged in other flood recovery operations, with many roads badly eroded, crossings and bridges badly damaged and machinery being recommissioned, which in most cases are not covered by insurance. Harvesting will commence when weather conditions permit. Looking forward to fine weather.

Councillors have their hands full of June motions

TWEED SHIRE Councillors have a heavy book of motions for their June Ordinary Meeting this week (Thursday, June 15), with several hot topics including a bid to boost Murwillumbah’s art scene and clarity sought on Kingscliff height limits. Councillors will decide whether to support the new Murwillumbah Arts Precinct on the corner of Brisbane Street, Wollumbin Street and Proudfoots Lane, after the prime CBD location recently emerged as one of the most innovative new art movements during the Murwillumbah Art Trail. Creativity is not lacking in and around Murwillumbah, however affordable spaces to create, display and sell a variety of artworks are lacking, and not having a central location hinders artists from gaining an audience. The open space is proposed to become a “Galley Down Town” to drive tourists into the CBD from the Tweed Regional Art Galley and further support local artists in the now known “M-Arts Precinct”. Residents and visitors also raved about the space during the Murwillumbah Art Trail, with a small bar, music and exhibitions hosted during the trail and providing a key stopping point. M-Art Precinct residents have envisaged around 20 to 25 art studios, workshop spaces and an art community feel under one roof with a coffee shop, bar, restaurant and galleries as well as a space for live music performances to be established in an area of approximately 1080 square metres. Council noted the space’s operational function as “the environment will be slightly less formal and more “hip and grungy” than the main Gallery, reflecting the inner-city vibe and the industrial edge of the M-Arts precinct, but would capitalise on the recognition of the TRGMOAC brand and the high-quality connotations associated with it”. The idea to create the large industrial space into smaller individual creative spaces was developed by Stephen Webb, who came up with the plan for, and is in the process of establishing the Murwillumbah arts precinct, to be known as M-Arts. According to Council documents the project aims to transform a set of vacant industrial buildings into “a vibrant new arts precinct where artists will create, collaborate, interact with and sell to the public”. The motion recommends that councillors implement a 12-month trial of the Gallery Down Town concept in the M-Arts Precinct as well as allocating $70,000 from the Economic Development budget and an additional $25,000 in the September quarterly budget review.

Another big topic includes a report on the Kingscliff Locality Plan which calls on councillors to clarify whether the height limit will be 20 metres or 13.6 metres in the Kingscliff CBD. The report outlines certain constraints on the future growth of Kingscliff should the height limits remain. The council motion stressed that if reduced building heights are imposed then the result could mean a loss of “other community public benefits” including a new library, town square, multi-storey carpark and other public improvements could be at risk. “(These) will be more difficult to procure under s94 contributions framework and unlikely to be incentivised under voluntary planning agreements with no uplift or offset of floor area in development yield,” the report reads. “Reduced density achievable within the more centrally located Town Centre and Turnock Street precincts will result in additional pressure for vegetation clearing in particular the West Kingscliff Precinct to facilitate lower density development.” The motion also called on Councillors to “further clarify the preferred building height across the proposed Business and Knowledge Precinct within the Draft Kingscliff Locality Plan study area as being either the proposed B7 Business Park area within the Business and Knowledge Precinct be limited to a building height of 20m, or the proposed B7 Business Park area within the Business and Knowledge Precinct be limited to a building height of 13.6m”. Meanwhile, councillors will vote on the next course of action following inquiries into the Draft Commercial Recreation Use of Public Open Space Policy which several residents had raised concerns with during the past month. The points of concern stemmed from a number of amendments made to the 2014 draft policy when compared to the current version. Council’s motion said “the rationale for these amendments has been explained to the community representatives and they have been afforded time to review the amendments in light of the rationale and return with any outstanding concerns”. Councillors have one of two options as recommendations including receiving and noting the report, or resolving an alternate course of action. There’s plenty more on the agenda with more than 30 items for Councillors to vote on at the Murwillumbah chambers from 4.30pm. What’s important to you in this month’s ordinary meeting?

Salt Surf Club boost

COUNCIL HAS welcomed news that a major upgrade of the Salt Surf Life Saving Club at Kingscliff is about to start, following the signing of contracts. The Commonwealth Government is providing $1 million towards construction of Stage 2 of the clubhouse and Salt SLSC will contribute the balance of $265,000. Construction will include decks with stair entrances, function, training and member’s rooms, kitchen and servery, amenities, an office and disabled access. “This is a much-anticipated project that will have lasting benefits for not just Salt members but the wider community who use Salt beach,” Federal Senator for NSW John Williams said. Council’s Manager Recreation Services, Stewart Brawley, welcomed the funding. “Council contributed to Stage 1 and also resolved to lend the money to Salt SLSC for Stage 2,” Mr Brawley said. “It’s wonderful that this funding has come through the Commonwealth Government and we fully support the expansion and will support them through the process.” The club has 256 members from the nippers through to seniors who patrol beaches from September through to April. The club hopes to grow the membership numbers through the improved facilities.

We offer, by appointment, home and hospital visits for client convenience. 7 GOOD REASONS TO HAVE A WILL For most people thinking about your own death can be very confronting. People often feel that making a Will is something they need to do when they are older. Others don’t want to “tempt fate” by making a Will before they have to. The truth is, nobody knows what might lie around the corner. With so much of life being beyond our control, making a Will should be a priority. But nearly half of all Australians die without a Will. As an adult, you’re never too young to make one. If you die without a Will, the law decides which members of your family inherit your estate and this could mean that your estate may be divided in a way in which is against your wishes. Here are seven good reasons why you should have a valid Will. 1. THE KIDS Your kids are special. You’d do anything for them, so it makes sense that if they are under 18 years you’d appoint guardians to care for them if both parents die; say for instance in a car accident. The best

way to do this by a Will. If you are a single parent, naming guardians is very important. Particularly if you are the sole surviving parent, or you have concerns about leaving your children in the sole care of their other parent. A Will is compelling evidence of your intentions and shows that you carefully considered what arrangements should be made for the future care of your children. 2. YOU CHOOSE WHO BENEFITS Without a Will you may be giving away all your assets and possessions to someone you don’t particularly like, or someone who doesn’t really need to benefit. Dying without a Will means you can’t control who gets what. There are strict legal requirements for distributing an estate without a Will. For example, if you separated from your partner but never got around to a divorce or property settlement, then they could be entitled to most of your estate. Even if you have divorced, they may still be able to make a claim on your estate. 3. GREATER DIRECTION When you die someone has to take on the responsibility to distribute your estate, this includes paying all your debts and funeral expenses etc. Without a Will, someone will need to step up and take on this role. Usually it is someone close to you, such as a partner or child. But if no one takes on the role then the Public Trustee will be appointed and the estate will be charged legal fees and a substantial fee based on the estate value. This essentially means that there will be less to distribute to the beneficiaries. Under a Will, you can appoint an executor to do this job. You would usually appoint someone who you know well. You can also appoint a substitute executor, meaning that if the first executor is unable to act, then without the need to change your Will, the substitute will act instead. 4. REDUCING POSSIBLE CLAIMS When a person dies the money and assets they leave behind can do strange things to the people who knew them. Some people think they are more entitled than others and they may want to fight to get a “bigger slice of the pie”. Without a Will it isn’t clear who gets what and it also may not be clear why someone has been left out of a Will. It is usually not sufficient evidence to a court that someone was told they were to inherit a certain amount or item. Written evidence of your intention is far better and written evidence by Will is even better still.

When drafting a Will with a solicitor you will disclose what your intentions are and the solicitor may ask certain questions and discuss certain aspects with you in order to clarify your circumstances. The solicitor will be able to advise you about how best to limit any possible inheritance claims that may be made against your estate. 5. CHEAPER AND EASIER Usually loved ones want a quick and easy distribution of your estate. The process of distributing an estate with a Will is usually more straightforward with less legal expense than an estate without a Will. Also without a Will, an administrator must be appointed to act on your estate. This can increase the risk substantially of a claim being made against your estate. Claims can take years to resolve and accrue huge legal expense in the process: often to the point where there may be a very small amount left of your estate to distribute. 6. CHARITY Many people give regularly to a charity during their lifetime. Having a Will means that you can provide one last gift to your nominated charity and you can usually make it a big one! Many charities, particularly smaller charities rely on gifts made by Will as part of their income. If you intend to make a donation to a charity when you die then you should put it in your Will. Without a Will it may be difficult for a donation to occur. 7. BURIAL OR CREMATED Choosing burial or cremation is important to many people. Likewise choosing where to be buried or where your ashes are to be kept or scattered can be just as important. You can provide instructions for burial or cremation, and funeral services in a Will. If you don’t leave instructions, your family members may need to make these decisions without your direction. Your Will needs to be signed and witnessed correctly. It needs to describe your intentions accurately, be well drafted to minimise the possibility of a claim being made on your estate. The easiest and safest way to do this is with the help of an experienced Wills lawyer. Our firm supports the community and would like to offer a special deal to our existing and new clients of the firm. For each new combined Will, Powers of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship until the end of July 2017, we will make a $25 donation to the Tweed Valley Palliative Care Wedgetail Retreat at Dulguigan.

Mr. Property Services’ goal is to provide “a home for every budget”

Mr. Property Services was established in 2008 to offer a professional and dedicated service at reasonable rates to the 'Buyers' and 'Sellers' of manufactured homes located in Lifestyle Villages and Residential Parks in the Tweed Valley and the southern tip of the Queensland Gold Coast. New Laws commenced on the 1st November 2015 The Law applying to homeowners in Caravan Parks, Residential Parks and Manufactured Home Estates has changed effective from the 1/11/2015. The Residential (Land Lease) Communities Act 2013 has replaced the Residential Parks Act 1998. One of the signiﬁcant changes that the Residential Land Lease Communities Act 2013 has introduced concerns “Additional Occupants” moving into a home. Legislation now recognises the changes occurring in the make-up of families. New provisions make it easier for additional occupants to move into a home. Carers, Partners, Spouses now have an automatic right to live with the home owner. The park operator cannot

unreasonably refuse consent for other people to move into a home. The Tweed Residential Parks Homeowners Association can offer advice and information during the cooling off periods by contacting TRPHA President – Tom George, Phone (02) 6674 5727 or Email trpha@ hotmail.com for advice and information. If you call and we are not there to answer your call, it’s because we are out doing what we do best – selling properties!

Mr Property Services

A PAIR of inspirational artists and eco warriors have opened an inspirational new painting exhibition at Kettle’s On Cafe in Kingscliff. Erwin and Adrienne Weber purchased their Chillingham farm ‘Whipbird Gully’ in 1980, after they were attracted to the region by the stunning geology and incredible forests that surround Wollumbin Mount Warning, Springbrook and Lamington National Parks. Erwin sums it up best when he says: “it was good enough to paint” when he first moved to the valley. Their property’s Rous River frontage and northerly aspect were essential to their understanding of the importance of winter sun access and clean mountain water. The wider Tweed Caldera region has become a favoured source of art subject matter. Meeting such creative and diverse Tweed village communities has been inspiring and as volunteers with Earth Learning Inc, the pair collaborate with local communities to undertake significant projects of public art, environmental education and remediation. “Restoration of our severely weed infested, logged ex-banana farm has become a long term passion,” Erwin said. “Now much of our restored riparian rainforest and wet sclerophyll gum forest has a NSW Conservation Trust covenant.” The pair often hear koalas asserting their territory or enjoy the amazing variety of birds, plants and animals that have taken up residence near their home. In recent years the restored habitat has attracted the return of colourful rifle birds, wampoo pigeons and bower birds. Erwin and Adrienne formed a working partnership called ‘Wilderness Art’, exhibiting since the mid 1970s in Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane. Eight of these exhibitions helped fund and support successful UNESCO World

Heritage listings of now high-profile conservation areas including Fraser Island, Lord Howe Island and the Franklin River. In 1980, Erwin became passionate about island seabirds and their breeding rookeries while working as Artist in Residence on Lord Howe Island with the Woodhen breeding program and monitoring of Masked Gannet rookery populations. Visiting Mt Gower and surrounding islets with the specialist ornithologist, entomologist and park ranger, allowed Erwin to draw and observe seabird behaviour, as well as gain insight into the importance of sustaining each place’s diversity of native flora and fauna. The coming exhibition by Erwin is to be held at Kettle’s On Restaurant, Kingscliff. The opening took place on Wednesday, June 14, and the exhibition will continue until August. This series of paintings is the result of several months of plein air sketching and painting of the Tweed Caldera coast’s Cook Island, and Lord Howe Island. Erwin has drawn from hundreds of pages of images and notes from his visual diaries to compose these works. Sailing the Tweed Caldera coast, in particular around Cook Island, provided inspiration for the paintings of some of our region’s spectacular and elegant sea birds; Black Masked Albatross, Australasian Gannets, and Crested Tern. The paintings express the nature of wind and storm exposed oceanic cliff tops and the resilient bonsai form of the island’s plant life. Erwin focuses on the close bond between parents and their chicks and their crowded intimacy, due to their need for optimised location and safety in numbers. “It has been a privilege to see and paint close focus, these wild protected places where seabirds safely nest,” he said. He believes both theses islands deserve their high conservation status and essential ongoing work to protect these birds from human waste and pollution. “Plastics and oil in particular have a devastating effect on sea birds colonies,” he said. “Ten per cent of the exhibition sales will be donated to Earth Learning Inc, a not for profit group of volunteers for on ground environmental projects of significance to the Tweed region.”

Fundraiser for Larter family

A FUNDRAISING campaign was launched late last week following the death of Murwillumbah man Charlie Larter, 46, who died of a stab wound to the chest at Knox Park on Tuesday, June 6. The GoFundMe campaign was to support Mr Larter’s family following his death. Mr Larter was among three victims of the violent attack which escalated from brawl that took place in an around Knox Park at around 12.30pm. Tweed Police charged 22-year-old James Paul Alderton (alias Murphy) with the murder of 46-year-old Charlie Larter as well as several other charges. Another 18-year-old, believed to be Mr Larter’s son Zack, was discharged from Gold Coast University Hospital this week after he received a stab wound to the chest. Mr Larter’s family and friends have already donated more than $3,500 with a target of $5,000 via a GoFundMe online appeal. “Charlie Larter was a man with a big heart, a great sense of humour, and a love for his family that had no end,” the post reads. He lost his life in tragic circumstances celebrating his 46th birthday with his family. “He has left behind a loving wife, son and three daughters. “No words can express what they have already been through, and the difficult times ahead they will have to endure. “For his families’ future, purely voluntary and a suggestion to all those who have been asking or wanting to offer love and support, any donations would be greatly appreciated.” To find the GoFundMe page can be viewed via gofundme. com/5674q-charlie-larter-family-fund

BANORA POINT resident Delma Glover will celebrate her 100th Birthday on Friday, June 16, with a special morning tea surrounded by family and friends at RSL Care Winders. Delma has experienced a lot in life, but it’s been her sense of humour and love of the arts that have kept her young at heart and until only a week ago living independently. She was born in Parramatta in 1917 and experienced the shocking loss at five-years-old of her father Bertie Ainsworth in a gas explosion. Following this, Delma and her mother moved to live with her aunties in Illawarra where she started school at the Bexley Ladies College. She later married her first husband who enlisted in the army during World War II. One of three husbands, he went to war but his job was specialised and was not spoken about. “I had three husbands,” she said. “And I’m still looking for my fourth.” An avid golfer until recently, Delma also loves to sew and sewed all her clothes for many years, including her wedding dress. Delma’s secret to a long life is to laugh a lot, have a good sense of humour with a “small glass of wine some nights”.

Murwillumbah needs permanent cop on the beat, says petitioners

Murwillumbah East

Primary School Be Safe

Be Respectful

A LOCAL push is on to reinstate a permanent police presence in Murwillumbah with an online petition attracting more than 475 signatures of a 500-target following the shock stabbing of three men in Knox Park last week. The petition is addressed to Member for Lismore Thomas George as a letter and calls on him to push for a permanent cop on the beat in Murwillumbah. It also comes despite the latest crime statistics showing mostly downward trends across the Tweed Shire. “Despite Murwillumbah growing at a steady rate, for some reason, it was decided some years ago that a permanent police presence was no longer required,” the petition reads. “As a result, there are often no police in town, and when police are required, they must travel from approximately 30 minutes away (if they are available).” The petitioner, Bob Axford, said a lack of police in Murwillumbah was highlighted by a recent murder near Knox Park in broad

The ﬁrst day of school can be a very anxious �me for both children and parents. We have a wonderful program that has been running successfully for several years speciﬁcally designed to help familiarise pre kinder children with the school, its programs and rou�nes.

Our next Learning Ladder program begins on the sixth September and concludes on the twenty third November. Contact our school to reserve your child’s place or to have a tour of our wonderful school.

Learning Ladder children are included in many of the school programs such as assemblies and sport ac�vi�es. There are regular visits to the kinder classrooms so that the children are familiar with the kinder teachers and the classroom rou�nes. Children who have par�cipated in the program begin kindergarten with conﬁdence and a well-developed understanding of what “big school” holds in store for them.

Floral Friday. On Friday June sixteenth our school community will be dressing in their brightest flowery ou�its and ge�ng together to fundraise for our canteen and our award winning gardening program. Both the canteen and our gardens were devastated by the recent flood and since they provide vital services to our students, everyone is keen to help them get up and running. We have been incredibly fortunate to receive considerable support from businesses and services within our community who will be making presenta�ons at our school assembly. Following the assembly the playground will be transformed into a mini fair offering lots of fun games, compe��ons and great food. Leading up to Floral Friday our school councillors will be promo�ng ra�es, guessing and colouring compe��ons to help raise funds. We look forward to seeing friends and family coming along to help support two of the many great facili�es offered at our school.

The online petition was posted on communityrun.org with the above title. (updated June 13)

Immunisation numbers vary across Tweed Shire CHILD IMMUNISATION rates have increased across the Tweed Shire for fiveyear-old children during the past three years but remains behind the national average. There’s a decreasing number of one and two-year-old children going without their immunisation shots, according to the latest data from the Federal Government’s My Healthy Communities. The report released on Thursday, June 8, titled ‘Immunisation Rates for Children in 2015/16’, shows that immunisation rates across the whole of Australia for five-yearold children are for the first time on average above 90 per cent. However, there is variation in immunisation rates for two-year-old children in the 2484 postcode which went from 88.4 per cent immunised in 2012/13 down to 80.2 in 2015/16. There has been improvements on the Tweed Coast with the 2487 postcode, or those around Kingscliff, reporting an increase in vaccination numbers for one-year-old

Known as Learning Ladder, the program is run by highly qualified staff and focuses on early literacy and numeracy skills, social skills and developing independence. The program takes place on site which gives the children the opportunity to get to know their way around the school, where to find different facili�es and how to follow school rou�nes.

daylight, in a park frequented by families and children. “While it was stated that police were on the scene quickly after being notified, there is no substitute for having a permanent presence in town,” the petition reads. The petition outlined several areas of benefit from a permanent cop in Murwillumbah including curbing minor incidents and discouraging criminal activity. “A recent murder in broad daylight in a family-friendly park in Murwillumbah has highlighted the lack of a permanent police station in the town, which has had its services wound back in recent years,” the petition reads. “There are parts of town where people no longer feel safe, which will affect tourism and our local economy. “The lack of police is attractive to criminals looking to avoid attention and while the police are doing a great job, we need them here permanently.” The petition is expected to be submitted in the coming days.

children from 81.5 per cent immunised in 2012/13 now up to 89.2 per cent in 2015/16. North Coast Primary Health Network’s Senior Project Officer Tiffany Sullivan said that immunisation is a “safe and effective way of reducing the spread of vaccinepreventable diseases in the community and protecting against potentially serious health problems”. “Even though most Australian kids are immunised, it’s important to maintain high immunisation rates to protect the community, including vulnerable groups such as babies who are too young to receive their vaccines,” she said. North Coast Primary Health Network (NCPHN) is working with GPs to ensure they are equipped and comfortable having conversations with patients who are uncertain about vaccinating their children. This month NCPHN is holding a series of seminars across the North Coast for immunisation providers to lift the rates of childhood immunisation and help protect the community.

More than 100 affordable homes proposed for Tweed Heads South A $6.5 MILLION redevelopment is planned for the site of the former Aquatic Club at 136-150 Dry Dock Road, Tweed Heads South, which will provide 123 affordable homes for retirees and over 55s. The proposed development includes a Manufactured Home Estate with lot sizes varying from 216 square metres to 307 square metres, internal roads, resident and guest parking, a community centre, pool and pontoon. The community centre will comprise of a multi-purpose hall, consulting rooms, meeting spaces, gym, cinema, activities spaces, library, billiard rooms and kitchen. Although a separate development application has not been made for the northern portion of the site the current application does mention a tavern, however also states “the land owner is currently reviewing redevelopment options for the northern balance of the site and this will be dealt with via a separate application to Council.” The homes will be combination of two and three bedroom residences and are proposed to be built on a ground slab to allow elderly residents easy access. “This is to ensure the development can cater for a wide variety of mobility requirements as residents during their stay in the estate,” the application reads. The site will require filling as it is located on flood prone land with a 1 per cent flood level of 2.6 metres AHD. “As detailed with the pre-development section of this report a minimum habitable floor level of 3.1m AHD is required for the site, this provides 500mm freeboard to the design flood level in accordance with section,” the application reads

The Precinct, Church Lane

One of the concerns raised by Council over the development application was unacceptable aircraft noise. The development application, however, states that with flight path changes proposed in the Gold Coast Airport Draft Master Plan, the amount of aircraft noise at the site would reduce. There are also nearby residences, especially to the north of Terranora Creek which experience higher noise levels. “This assessment acknowledges that the site is within an area deemed unacceptable for residential development under the Australian Standard, but notes that a compromise may be met to facilitate development,” the application reads. “The Acoustic report provided demonstrates the proposed dwellings and community building can be suitability attenuated to ensure they can meet internal noise limits for residents as required by the Australian Standards.” Noise is also proposed to be reduced by acoustically treating communal and residential spaces. The development application is currently not on exhibition, to view the application search DA17/0358.

Two big unit developments for Murwillumbah

TWO UNIT developments in central Murwillumbah are due to start in the next month and will include 26 units ranging from $385k to $415k. The Precinct at Church Lane (pictured above) is a four-storey development comprising of 26 two bedroom apartments with floor areas of between 85 to 95 square metres. The building was originally purchased by the owner and editor of the Tweed Daily News in 1915 to house offices and print rooms for his newspaper. Tweed Shire Council granted the development approval in December 2015. The site posed a number of design challenges from a steep, sloping block and being located in the centre of town. There was also the need to provide a contextual relevance, enhancing rather than overpowering the existing residential and commercial aspects of the town centre. The result was the proposal for the development to be couched in three distinct buildings, with significant separation between the buildings to enhance the appearance of the development, and to provide visual and acoustic amenity. Elders Real Estate Murwillumbah Principal Peter Wade is handling the unit sales and said he’d so far seen “strong

expressions of interest” “We’ve also sold five of the 26 units already,” he said. “We’re hoping construction will get underway shortly as weather has been a hinderance,” Mr Wade said To find out more about The Precinct, Church Lane, phone 0409 922 698. Meanwhile another new development will be located at the site of the old Steiner School at 28-34 Riverview Street and will provide 28 new units (pictured below). The Council approved development includes six three-bedroom apartments, 16 two-bedroom two-bathroom, and six twobedroom one-bathroom apartments. The site had lain derelict since the 1990s and is zoned as Medium Density. Director of Sweethome Developments, Francis Turner said he is keen to focus the development for the benefit of the local community. He said that he hopes to provide jobs and a quality development that will be built above the flood zone. The complex includes a community hall, car parking underneath the main building, and the extensive garden will retain most of the significant trees. Mr Turner said there is no date yet for the commencement of construction.

NERUDA

77518

Chilean film-maker Pablo Lorrain became internationally renowned with his so called “unintentional trilogy” (Tony Manero, Post Mortem, No) set during the Pinochet era, when the persecution of writers and artists in Chile was rampant. In Neruda Lorrain follows the life of the Chilean cultural icon who was persecuted by a previous repressive government. Pablo Neruda was a politician and diplomat of the Chilean leftist government in 1948 when the political tide changed. Neruda denounced the brutal anti-communist repression that followed, lost his protectors in the government and had to go into hiding with his wife, with the assistance of Communist party members more attuned to the hardship of the working class than the poet himself - depicted in the film not as the passionate romantic figure that we know through his poetry but rather as a chardonnay communist interested in passing pleasures. The film is not a biopic, but mixes fiction with historical facts. Neruda’s nemesis in the film is the fascist Chief of the Investigations Police of Chile, Oscar Peluchonneau – he is as much a central character in the film as the poet himself – who stalks the poet in order to burnish his reputation in exile but instead reinforces the legend of the great man’s persecution. The message of the film is clear: Neruda may have not been a great man on a personal level, but it is the effect of his writing on others that constitutes his greatness. The film has received many awards and rave reviews all over the world. It stars Gael Garcia Bernal and Louis Gnecco.

A FUNDRAISER for the Cancer Unit at The Tweed Hospital known as Canapes for Cancer will take place at the Strand in Coolangatta on Saturday, June 17. The event will start at 1.30pm and was organised by Tweed cancer survivor Corinne Paddison. Ms Paddison wrote to local media this week with her story of survival and to build some promotions for the event. “When I turned 25 and I would never have thought that six months later I would be a cancer survivor,” she said. “I thought that will never happen to me, then I was diagnosed with Diffused B-cell Lymphoma Cancer from a growth that was taken from my intestines. “It was the most life changing time in my life - I would later learn that you can find your inner strength from surviving severely challenging times.” Corinne said she went through an operation and several chemotherapy treatments and during that time she unknowingly pushed her family away. “At the time, I had no idea this was happening as I was just trying to survive each day, one hour at a time,” she said. “I unconsciously thought by keeping them at arm’s length, I would save them from going through everything I was dealing with.”

Fast forward ten years and Corinne has changed her life and now surrounds herself with people who bring out the best in her. “From my husband to my network of girlfriends who are all chasing their dreams,” she said. “After plenty of time to heal I knew it was now time to inspire. “Join me in this journey, as together we can help others realise they are not alone and help them to discover their true inner strength. “I want to make a difference in patients and their families lives that cancer has affected. “I love organising events so this all started from my own personal experiences.” Ticket price for this fundraising event includes a delicious mouth-watering canapés and champagne, luxurious lucky door prize, inspirational speakers & networking for a good cause and live music. The event begins at 1.30pm at Bin72 Coolangatta: 121/7280 Marine Parade, Coolangatta QLD 4225 Located: Level 1 of Strand Shopping Centre with undercover parking below the building. Raffle tickets & donations can be purchased online and will be sold on the day with all profits go directly to Tweed Cancer Unit at Tweed Hospital.

SHE’S BEING touted as the next big thing in opera, and anyone who wants to confirm that for themselves can hear Lyric Mezzo Soprano Xenia Puskarz Thomas sing at Flutterbies Cafe on Saturday, July 8. She will sing among others Purcell, Gounod and Mozart. Puskarz Thomas had been a violinist with Queensland Youth Orchestras for almost six years (she plays with Queensland Youth Orchestra 2 and her sister Eugenie plays the cello with the Queensland Youth Symphony). However, she has recently been plucked from the orchestra to sing and she’s developing a following, not to mention creating a buzz. Queensland Youth Orchestra director John Curro, says Puskarz Thomas is not renowned for her violin playing but when he first heard her sing he was enraptured. “She’s a huge talent. She just knocked me off my feet,” Curro says. Puskarz Thomas is in her third year of a four-year Bachelor of Music degree at Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University, where her voice teacher is Margaret Schindler. While Puskarz Thomas is focused on her studies, she’s chuffed with the attention, but says she is doing what comes naturally and what she loves to do. “I can’t imagine doing anything else,” she says. “Everything I do is involved in music and I want to be an opera singer.” While still at school Puskarz Thomas did work experience with Opera Australia when they came to Brisbane, taking lessons with soprano Taryn Fiebig. “I am obsessed with opera,” Puskarz Thomas says. “It’s always very emotional and very complicated and I love it. You have to act and sing and opera is always a huge spectacle with a ridiculous plot. Nowadays, I cry at every opera.” Since venturing into her singing career Xenia has been a featured soloist with several orchestras; since 2013 she has been a soloist in regional and interstate tours and recordings with Queensland Youth Orchestras, she has appeared as a guest artist with The Camerata of St. Johns Home Concert and was recently named by the Courier Mail as one of “Queensland’s 50 Best and Brightest.” Performing with Xenia in the Tyalgum concert will be her sister, cellist Eugenie Puskarz Thomas, who has worked with the Queensland Youth Symphony for several

years, and has played with the Brisbane Philhamonic Orchestra as well as many other ensembles and string quartets. Completing the line-up will be Pianist Elli Welsh who completed a Bachelor of Music at The Queensland Conservatorium last year and is currently studying a Master of Music Studies under the guidance of internationally renowned teacher and performer Natasha Vlassenko. Elli will perform a selection of solo items including Debussy, Mozart and more. The three artists will perform solo items as well as a trio. These include Elegie by Massenet, Bach Cantanta and some well known items by Puccini. “These concerts are becoming a popular and unique opportunity for music lovers to see some of Australia’s emerging classical and opera stars perform in the very upclose-and-personal venue of Flutterbies,” said Solar Chapel from Hearts Aflame Productions. “In years to come, I have no doubt that Xenia, Eugenie and Elli will be gracing the stages of the world’s best concert halls and opera houses so it’s a privilege for Hearts Aflame Productions to be able to bring them together in Tyalgum.” The Flutterbies Cottage Café concert will be presented in the olde world surrounds of The Little Shop Next Door from 2.30pm on Saturday, July 8. Tickets are priced at $45 per person including afternoon tea or $35 per person for the show only. Places are strictly limited so early reservations are recommended. Phone Hearts Aflame Productions on 0488 713 241 or book online at www.heartsaflameproductions.com

We all love the Tweed and we are intrinsically loyal to the shire, so by engaging local trades people and local services, you’re sending out a message that you support your town and want to see it grow.

house or business work. Ensure you are committed to keeping as much of your money in your local community and remember a strong Tweed economy will support the next generation to be even stronger. Another reason to think local and buy local is for making stronger ties to your community. If you had a good experience with a local tradesperson, you might recommend them to a friend, who in turn recommends them to another friend and the local cycle begins. So, the next time you pick up the phone to call in a tradie on the Gold Coast or even Brisbane, stop and think local it will help strengthen your community and you may even make a new friend for life.

Mustang ladies first win Well Queensland need to improve a whole lot and they have picked a much more balanced and dynamic team. The return of Slater and Thurston will have an unchanged Blues line up on edge, however, if NSW run riot in the middle again it won’t make an ounce of difference. The inclusion of Hess is a good one for Qld. He is the modern day forward. Big, strong, mobile, aggressive and powerful! An old coach of mine said you need the 4 S’s to be able to play footy – skill, speed, strength and stamina. He might have to at P for power these days as there is some incredible athletes playing this wonderful game. Qld are under pressure but I think this will be a real close one. Shaun Kenny-Dowell has paid the

at the Footy with Quinny

price for stupidity. The same week Proctor returns for the gold coast for is indiscretion, SKD has been released by the Roosters and is clubless after he had a deal at Newcastle torn up due to his poor choices. It’s a hard lesson to be learned and one many footballers and young men in general should adhere to and understand. How good are the Melbourne v Cronulla games! The Broncos v Cowboys have turned on some absolute beauties in recent years but these two are getting close. A real enthralling contest and without Cronk at 7 the big 2/3 really performed with Smith the magician pulling the strings early and Billy saving the day when it looked like the Sharks had the game one. A big congratulations to the Mustangs Ladies League tag team

Footy Tipping Gurus POINTS LADDER

with their first victory on the weekend. The ladies have been training hard twice a week under the watchful eye of coach Sootie Saddler and played terrific to notch the win in the rain against Casino on the weekend. Once again it’s a terrific concept and one that ALL clubs should be supporting. Women’s league is really taking off with coverage on TV, national comps on the agenda and teenage girls getting amongst it. The St Joseph’s College Opens girls team won through to the state finals in Sydney last week by being undefeated in the North Coast Finals The Stangs had a hard fought 14-12 win over competition leaders Casino at Stan Sercombe in the rain and might just be the catalyst to kick start their season.

Sophie fullfills dream Aussie adventure Elderly man assaulted OUR FRIENDLY German visitor Sophie Hentzsch has returned to Murwillumbah this week seven months after her epic journey across Australia starting from Phil Taylor’s workshop on Prospero Street in South Murwillumbah. Phil helped get Sophie on the road in her trusty yellow campervan, which she purchased for $3000 in Byron Bay and spent another $1500 while out on the road. Sophie, like many visitors, had the time of her life travelling more than 12,000 kilometres around Australia with her friend also from Germany Madlen Meyer. Both Sophie and Madlen travelled to Australia on a gap year from a small community about two hours south east of Berlin. The pair spent countless hours behind the wheel enjoying the outback all the way to Uluru and Darwin, then contrasted that with the lush green landscapes of the Blue Mountains and the Great Ocean Road.

“It’s been an amazing trip,” Sophie said. “We’ve been surrounded by lovely people along the way especially those in Sydney for Christmas. “We also went skydiving in Cairns and snorkelling Fraser Island plus so much more.” The pair also encountered their fair share of bad luck after the van was broken into and a laptop and music box were stolen. “We’d parked the car at Killarney Glen (heart-shaped waterhole) and were about two hours,” Sophie said. “When we returned we found the laptop and music box were stolen, we felt fortunate though that our money and passports were still safe.” Madlen plans to stay on in Australia and start the strawberry picking season before more travelling. But like all good times, Sophie’s trip has come to an end and she’s returning home to Germany to get her life started before she hopes to return for another Aussie adventure.

A MAN front Murwillumbah court on Wednesday, June 14, after he was charged with assault following an incident at Tweed Heads earlier this week. Police said it was about 9.15pm on Monday, June 12, when a 69-year-old man was sitting in his car that was stationary on Minjungbal Drive at Tweed Heads South. Police have been told that a man approached the occupant of the vehicle and asked for cigarettes. When the occupant of the vehicle told the man he did not smoke the man assaulted him through the open car window. The assailant then tried to open the driver’s door but the victim was able to close and lock it. The assault continued through the open window until a passerby intervened. After the offender fled, the injured man drove from to a nearby service station and police were alerted. Officers from Tweed Byron Local Area Command attended and established a crime scene, also examining the man’s car. About 3pm on Tuesday, June 13, police arrested a 37-yearold man at Tweed Heads South. He was conveyed to Tweed Heads Police Station and charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The man was refused bail to appear at Murwillumbah Local Court.

Man charged for domestic assault Tweed Heads after terrible attack

TWEED POLICE have charged a man with numerous offences after an alleged domestic incident at Tweed Heads South on Tuesday, June 13. Police were told that about 6.15pm, a man allegedly forced entry to a unit in Tweed Heads South and assaulted the 19-year-old female occupant by punching and kicking her. A computer was also damaged. Officers from Tweed Heads arrested a 23-year-old man outside the property and searched a car parked nearby, seizing cannabis, cash, methylamphetamine and prescription drugs. The man was taken to Tweed Heads Police Station and charged with aggravated break and enter and commit serious indictable offence, common assault, a number of drug offences and deal with the proceeds of crime. He was refused bail to appear at Tweed Heads Local Court on Wednesday, June 14. Police will allege the man and woman are known to each other but the man did not reside at the address.

AUSTRALIA IS ONE OF the best places in the world to see whales, often right from accessible beaches and cliff-faces of our vast coastline. More than 45 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises call Australia home; in fact, nearly 60 per cent of the world’s whales can be found in our waters. Each year the number of whales we see increases by a couple of hundred whales; we know the population is increasing by 10 to 14 per cent. Any of our large, well-cleared, safe headlands are a good place to visit to see whales,on their northern migration, they stay in close to avoid the East Australian Current, usually within five kilometres of shore.

Local Fishing Report

5 2 8 5 3 9

Flathead have been quite active around Tweed river and Currumbin creek. Fisherman have been falling to plastics and hard body lures. With the colder months now upon us we are starting to see some big blue nose bream being caught from Tweed all the way up to Burleigh beach with the odd greenback tailor making an appearance. The larger tailor have been caught mainly south of the border around Kingscliff, but we will start to see them move north in the coming weeks. Big eye trevally have been caught around Bond university. Unfortunately for the offshore guys weather hasnt been to their favour, we haven’t had so many reports of any fish outside. Have a great week! Don’t let the weather put you off this weekend it’s our eofys 20% off storewide (excluding bait, motors, gas and already reduced items) Tweed tackle and Marine.

Featured Business

Cabarita Mini Diggers. I have been involved in earthmoving and construction for over 20 years, operating a wide range of machines from loaders backhoes excavators etc in my early years. I got involved in mineral exploration in the 1980’s and moved into supervising and managing exploration drilling projects resulting in some major discoveries. I was responsible for all the earthmoving for roads camp construction and environmental controls both in Australia and overseas. My wife, Son and I relocated to Murwillumbah from Perth to chase my love of surfing around 2000. I decided to start a handyman business that I operated for 6 years. The call of exploration opportunities came along and I went back to fly in fly out. Just recently I decided to give up fly in fly out and try something I enjoy and can do local. So my wife and I decided to start Cabarita Mini Digger about 8 months ago. We do all limited access and general earthworks .We can do a wide range of jobs from Concrete preparation, Palm tree stump removal, drainage, Driveway repairs

and much more. We do small retaining walls and paving as well. We are a friendly family business who take pride in our work and making sure our customers are happy. We are fully insured with licensed operator with good well maintained equipment. For enquiries, You can find my Ad under the Excavation Section.

In Memoriam 43

Obituary

ALBERT WILLIAM LANKFORD, affectionately known as Bert, was born in Sydney on December 3, 1927 and was the only son of Jim and Phyl Lankford and brother to Betty (Lankford) Kuskopf. Bert was known and respected by many from all walks of life and will now be sadly missed due to his peaceful passing on April 21, 2017, at John Flynn Hospital. Leaving Sydney in 1931, Jim, Phyl and Bert moved to the more tranquil and rural environment of Murwillumbah, where the family welcomed the birth of daughter Betty in 1932. Jim worked for Campbell and Salmon Butchery and Bert attended both primary and secondary high school in Murwillumbah. At the age of 14, Bert left to commence his first job with Don Douglas, as an apprentice mechanic attending to Howard rotary hoes. As a lad, he became a member of the scouts and knocked around with many of the locals, no doubt getting up to some good-natured mischief. Yearning for wider horizons, he joined the Royal Australian Navy in 1946, where he was first sent to Crib Point Navy Training Centre in Victoria. Initially choosing to be recruited as an

Albert William Lankford - December 3, 1927-April 21, 2017

Ordinary Seaman, because he got seven creases in each left of his bell-bottom trousers, after 12 months sea time he became a Coxswain. As time passed Bert qualified as a Hard Hat Diver, paid one penny per minute whist submerged. Back above the waterline he transferred the skills and experience gained as an apprentice mechanic in Murwillumbah to become a more than competent weapon mechanic. He was indeed the consummate allrounder and team man. Through his service, he served in many countries such as Japan, where he experienced the horrid aftermath of war, Hong Kong, New Guinea, India and was in the Far Eastern Strategic Reserve in Asia for just over a year. Naval life presented Bert and his shipmates with many challenges, some more daunting than others, but parading in front of the Queen on board HMAS Australia was one of which he was both immensely proud and honoured to have undertaken. After 20 years of service to his country, as a forward-thinking fellow, Bert used his last month of service to complete a real estate course via correspondents.

In 1966, Bert retired as Chief Petty Officer and returned to the Tweed where he joined his mother Phyl in the running of LA Salmon Real Estate; the first real estate to be established in Kingscliff. Two years later, Bert met and married Jocelyn Freeman of Murwillumbah. Together they became the proprietors of Lankford Lodges Holiday Flats and later built three shops and residences along Marine Parade. This included the first launderette on the Tweed once Kingscliff had town sewerage available. In the early 70s the family grew when Bert and Jocelyn had three daughters, Jan, Karen and Susan, who later provided them with six treasured grandchildren. Bert always involved himself in the community he was a part of, he had many firsts in the Tweed including the first Kingscliff Volunteer Fire Brigade Captain in 1967, a foundation member of the Rotary club in 1970 and major contributor in the development of Ed Parker park at Cudgera Creek. He was also secretary for the Kingscliff Mini School and an active member of the Kingscliff Probus Club where he was a life member. Bert was also a prominent member of

First round of Flood Appeal funds granted THE FIRST funds are set to be distributed next week from the Tweed Mayoral Flood Appeal, which has so far raised close to $300,000 for individuals, families and businesses affected by the devastating March/April flood event. The purpose of the Mayoral Flood Appeal is to support individuals, households and businesses from the Tweed Shire who have been impacted by the flood with priority being given to those who have limited access or options to available funding, grants or insurances. Many individuals, schools, clubs and businesses have generously donated to the fund. There were 186 applications for Round 1, which closed on May 19. More than 75 per cent of the applications were from individuals and households, with the remainder from the business community. Thirty applicants will receive funding from this first round. Eight were considered by the Independent Committee who assessed the applications as ineligible for funding. Allocations in this first round have been granted to applicants who have not been able to access or receive any of the available funding schemes or insurance payouts. Payment will be by bank transfers and/or Robina Town Centre vouchers. The shopping centre management generously donated $10,000 in vouchers to the appeal. The remaining 148 applications will be carried over and considered in Round 2. Around 80 per cent of appeal funds have been held over for distribution in Round 2 to enable applicants who are awaiting advice on insurance decisions, Disaster Recovery Payments or Category C payments for businesses, are provided with more time for their status to be determined. There’s still time for others affected by the flood to apply, with Round 2 opening on June 19 and closing July 7. It is anticipated that the assessment of applications and distribution of funds will occur the week of July 17. An Independent Committee - chaired by Mr Brian Wilkinson (Independent Member of Council’s Audit Committee) reviewed the applications for assistance. Other committee members were: Jane Crowe (Executive Director Community Options Australia), Anne Briggs (Executive Officer Northern Rivers Food) and

Tim Williamson (Assistant Regional Manager Southern Qld Northern Coastal NSW AusIndustry. The Mayor of Tweed, Cr Katie Milne, participated only as an observer of the process. Council’s Internal Auditor and Director of Corporate Services provided governance and administrative support to the committee. Mr Wilkinson said the committee acknowledged the urgency for people directly impacted by the floods to have notification of the status of their applications for Mayoral Appeal Funding. “We take our responsibilities in assessing the applications extremely seriously. We appreciate everyone’s understanding as we manage this process,” Mr Wilkinson said. Mayor of Tweed, Councillor Katie Milne, said she appreciated the professional and compassionate approach and care taken by the Independent Assessment Committee members. “They volunteered their time to participate, and were exceptionally genuine and all deeply moved by the devastating impacts the flood events have had on our community and their respect of every application was evident,” Mayor Milne said. For more information on the Mayoral Appeal, see http://www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/ MayorAppealFund or call (02) 6670 24000, where Council staff can assist you with your application once Round 2 opens.

Bowls Notes

with Judy Tuckey

THE 2017 Tweed Byron District Women’s Bowls Association Pennant and Championships are all now completed for the year. Winners, runners-up and supporters gathered at the Cudgen Leagues Bowls Club last Monday for a super Presentation Day. A morning of bowls thoroughly enjoyed by members was followed by presentations. Overall, this special day was relished by all 120 plus attendees. Region One Pennant Play-Offs were also on the Agenda last week with Kingscliff Bowling Club being the host for this tournament between sides from the Northern Rivers, Clarence River, Mid North Coast and Tweed Byron Districts. Pottsville’s Grade two side with Marie Comerford and Coral Nathan skipping their respective teams, scored a good win against Yamba (CRD) on both rinks in Round one collecting five points. Park Beach (MNC), proved a tough team

to toss in Round two. However, a strong showing from Comerford’s team ensured the ladies of an overall win to collect a further four points. Round three against South Lismore (NRD) resulted in the side collecting a further four points to bring their tally up to 13 points to claim the Region One flag and a berth in the State finals at Canton Beach in August. Way to go Potty. Grade three representatives, Cabarita Beach with Joy Lake and June Foran at the helm, delivered a phenomenal performance winning all three games with solid margins. The sides collected the perfect score of 15 points to take them to the State finals in this grade at Bateau Bay in August. Fantastic result girls. Well done. Byron Bay’s Grade four side, with Skips Pat Bigg and Kym Quinnell in charge, delivered a credible performance. This resurrected club which only returned to the Pennant competition last year (District

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC – Keith Kennedy THE MAYOR of Ballina says shark nets have had a positive impact on the town’s tourism industry, just as they’re being hauled out of the water two weeks earlier. The nets were deployed at five beaches near Ballina late last year for a six month trial following the spate of shark attacks in the area. Since having them there people haven’t talked about sharks since last Christmas, Ballina Mayor David Wright said. They were hauled up after several humpback whales were spotted south of Ballina. The Queensland shark nets will remain. Since the start of the program in 1962 there has been one shark attack fatality at a shark control beach in Queensland. Since January 1 this year, 219 predators have been caught,

79 of them more than two metres long, and 46 on tourist beaches on the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Rainbow Beach. In 2016 approximately 22,000 whales migrated along the Queensland coast, six became entangled and were successfully released. Our Clubhouse member kitchen built in 1964 and which also serves as a juniors and Coldies room is currently being remodelled. The trophy and memorabilia lounge room and training rooms are also being repainted before the honour boards and photos are reerected. This will be in time for the Australian Inter-State and Club Championships when we will host approximately 900 competitors, club and carnival officials over a four day period mid July.

Round two against Macksville (MNC) had the teams working hard. Team Bigg secured a good win with team Quinnell only going down by one shot – four points. Congratulations to our Club Chairman, Adam Mills who has been admitted to the SLSA West Australia Hall of Fame, being a team member of the Fremantle Surf Club beach relay team for four seasons 87-88, 90-91. The club dominated the event over a period from 1981 to 1992. Numbers were down slightly for the ‘Coldies’ swim last Sunday due to the long weekend and poor weather. Nearest to time, Bee Van Der Waal, 23 seconds out, Tony Luxton 33, Merridy Gielis 35. A non point score swim next Sunday for those not attending the ‘Marlins’ carnival at Miami pool. Other clubs attending are the ‘Nerangatangs’, Orcas and Dolphins. A reminder to members of the Surf Sports Committee AGM this Sunday morning. Nominations to be in 30 minutes prior to the meeting. It will be followed by an open meeting of all members to discuss possible building alterations/additions.

Ballina (NRD) now being the only side left to defeat were also on nine points and in Round three gave the girls a tough work out. Despite a grand effort from the Bay girls, and winning on one rink, they were taken out of the comp with a mere nine shot deficit. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Wild Conditions but

Great Surfing at BK Memorial 2017 IT WAS 100 per cent cyclonic conditions on the beach over the long weekend, but somehow the hardy crew from Byron Bay Boardriders got the job done, even with moving to five different venues over 3 days. There was no mucking around in the Open Division with $5,000 up for grabs, and former WSL Championship Tour surfer, Ricardo Christie taking the win, and joining the illustrious list of Champions to win this event. Many who have won have then qualified for the big tour, and Christie said at the presentation is that the $5,000 prizemoney was going to just that. The final day was held in pumping little runners at Clark’s Beach just down from the Pass, and competitors really put on a show. Standout local winners were there in the Willsy’s X-Groms, no more than in the under10’s where Cabarita grommet Sunny Hurwurth taking the win, dedicating it to his aunty who had recently passed away. The under 10’s, 12’s, 14’s, and 16’s revelled in the sand bottom grinders at Byron, and they were really ripping in. Marlon Harrison took the centre stage winning the hotly contested under 14 boys in the Willsy’s X-groms, a change as it is normally the Coolangatta kids big sister Piper who grabs the headlines. The 16’s final had a late 1980’s ring to it, with a couple of kids with the last names of Occhilupo and Bartholomew competing, both the son’s of the 1999 and 1978 World Champions, Mark Occhilupo and Wayne “Rabbit” Barthomew. This time it was the Occhilupo family who took the win, with Jay Occhilupo ripping in with some searing turns on

his forehand, with Keo Bartholomew with some great vertical backhand surfing to place second. Kind of funny they are both the opposite stances of their World Champion dads. It was an awesome weekend, and once again will be on next year for the 43rd edition of the event.

Women’s and Masters Titles Wrap Up this Weekend

After a successful first event on the Sunshine Coast earlier this month, the best Masters and Women’s surfers in Queensland will have their last chance to gain series ratings points towards a prestigious Queensland Title and a spot in the state team set to compete at the 2017 Australian Surfing Festival on the Tweed Coast in July/ August. A few Coolangatta Tweed surfers are in the mix as well, particularly in the Women’s Open Division, where the winner also gets a wildcard to the Roxy Pro Trials in 2018. Sunshine Coast surfer Sophie McCulloch will go into event two with confidence after taking out the Blue Ribbon Open Women’s division at event one at Coolum Beach earlier this month. McCulloch was runner up in this series in 2016 and has her sights set on adding a Queensland Open Women’s trophy to her collection. But Coolangatta up and comer Piper Harrison will not make it easy for McCulloch this weekend and will put the pressure on after a close second place finish at event one. Piper would love to have a shot at getting into the Roxy Pro at her home break. It wont be easy with a red hot field of surfers looking to get the prize.

Surf Life Saving NSW Sport Manager Rob Pidgeon says the North Coast Academy of Sport is an outstanding program for young surf sport athletes. “The surf lifesaving program gives athletes the best possible coaching in NSW and since the North Coast Academy of Sport was established we have seen an exceptional amount of talent produced,” Mr Pidgeon said. “We encourage all surf lifesavers wanting to further their surf sport skills to apply for the NCAS or one of Surf Life Saving NSW’s development programs.”

Tweed Surf Club to share in boost

“We rely on the skill and passion of volunteer surf lifesavers to provide this service and this vital injection of funding will ensure lifesavers have the support they need to do their important work through improving the standard and quality of surf lifesaving clubs in NSW.” Surf Life Saving NSW Acting CEO Adam Weir said the increase in funding is recognition of the contribution surf lifesaving clubs make across the community. “Not just an important home base for volunteers patrolling our beaches, surf clubs are hive of community activity, used for training courses, community gatherings and sporting events,” Mr Weir said. “This massive funding boost is a huge vote of confidence in our volunteers and will ensure they have the support they need to do this lifesaving work.” In 2016/17 volunteer surf lifesavers performed almost 5,000 rescues, 126,000 preventative actions and 15,750 first aid treatments. This financial year surf clubs who had previously reached the maximum cap of $400,000 will be re-eligible for facility funding.

MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest today announced Surf Life Clubs across Tweed will soon be able to share in a $4 million boost to surf club facilities funding. Mr Provest said members of Surf Life Saving Clubs put their lives on the line to patrol our beaches saves the lives of locals, visitors and tourists. “From nippers to senior patrollers, members of Surf Life Saving clubs provide an amazing service to the people of NSW,” Mr Provest said. “This $4 million boost will bring significant upgrades to surf club facilities, improving access for volunteer surf life savers who give up their time to keep people safe in Tweed.” Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres said more than $24 million in funding had been allocated in the past decade to make rescue facilities across NSW more safe, accessible and secure. “Surf lifesaving clubs are home base for our tens of thousands of volunteer lifesavers patrolling our beaches, allowing all age groups to learn about and contribute to water safety,” Mr Ayres said.

Mustangs finding stronger form THE MURWILLUMBAH Mustangs had had another much-needed win against Casino on the weekend despite wet conditions and winning by two points (14 to 12). The Mustangs are clawing back from a slow start to the season, but are finding form and fusing on the field as they look more like the winning side from 2016. The win was also a big test for the Mustangs as Casino are placed second on the ladder and it was the first loss for the visiting side. Tweed Coast and Cudgen remain in the top five on the ladder having won five games for Tweed Coast and four wins for Cudgen. (See below for ladder details and read Quinny’s “at the footy” column on page 30.) Three surf lifesavers achieved awards, Cudgen Headland duo Paige Leishman and Joshua Jones (left) were presented with the Encouragement and Most Outstanding award respectively while Jyii Mann (Coffs Harbour SLSC) won Most Improved.

yobrace treatment is simple and effective. It does not involve wearing braces or using complex and uncomfortable dental appliances 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Wearing a Myobrace appliance for one to two hours each day and while sleeping, combined with a few simple yet effective exercises each day is all it takes for a real change to occur, and to avoid needing braces in most cases.
