Felicia Cecil called on Tweed Shire Council to increase its investigations into the matter to ensure what’s fair for Chinderah residents.

“I think there is a genuine concern from the residents and I think Tweed Shire Council should increase its investigations as soon as possible,” she said. Several other Chinderah residents phoned The Weekly including a mother who said her children were intimidated and had allegedly been exposed to drugs. The woman, who cannot be named, said she also wanted to highlight that Stevie who had been reported on after he passed away had been misrepresented. “Stevie would not have wanted to be remembered the way the media portrayed him,” she said. “He was a heavy drinker and he hated himself for that, it’s something he couldn’t cope with at times and he would not have wanted those who tried to help him to be portrayed as people who did not try to reach out or offer Stevie food or a place to sleep.” Another resident, who again did not want to be named, said he believed many of the alleged homeless were in breach of NSW laws by dumping sewage directly into the river system. “If I had set up a sewage system next to the river without planning in place, I’d be in breach of local law and state laws, it would be taken down, well we’re seeing excrement being dumped along this river bank all the time,” he said. “This cannot continue, Chinderah is a beautiful community that can no longer access its amazing foreshore.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe more needs to be done to address the Chinderah homeless or alleged homeless? Write to The Weekly by email to editor@theweekly.net.au

“I do believe in supporting those that need it, but what if they don’t want to support themselves and they just want to drink and take drugs all day then abuse passers-by, is that right and fair on everyone in the community,” he said. He said the situation was not just about substance abuse, but also allegations of intimidation towards residents. The Chinderah foreshore has been a long-term stopping point for many travellers, grey nomads and homeless people and many of the Chinderah residents embrace the stopover traffic. However, it’s the ones that have stayed that appear to be outstaying their welcome. “There have been bottles thrown at cars and arguments that spill out on the streets into the night,” he said. “The problems are getting worse all the time for the residents now – this needs to stop.” President of the Chinderah Districts Residents’ Association

SEVERAL CHINDERAH residents have expressed outrage over what they said was a recent misrepresentation of the homeless situation in the area by local media and the lack of acknowledgment for the “genuine concerns locals have”. The Weekly recently followed up on the tragic story of Stevie, a homeless man who recently passed away in a Chinderah park and which highlighted a need for greater assistance towards homeless people across the Tweed. But during follow up visits, The Weekly found a differing view from several Chinderah locals and many agreed the real issue was not a question of support for the homeless, to break the cycle of homelessness, but whether many of the homeless around Chinderah were allegedly “posing as homeless”. One Chinderah local, who asked not to be named, provided an insight into what he says is long-term squatting in order to allegedly subsidise a life of drug and alcohol abuse. “Several of the more recent people who have taken up the areas along the river, which was several months ago now, came from homes they had in other states across the country and are now settled on the foreshore in Chinderah here,” the resident said. The resident acknowledged the need to support genuine homeless people and he encouraged more media coverage on the topic. “I don’t disagree that we need better support systems for our homeless people,” the resident said. “But I think if you choose not to be assisted when you can in fact help yourself, that’s passing the burden to others which is the case in Chinderah.

Negatives outweigh positives on water extraction

The proponents of water mining struggle to find anything positive to say that supports the extraction of water for sale to Queensland bottling companies. The reason for that is that there are none! The negatives however are many; taking water out of the shire at a time when future water security is a hot topic, compromising the flow in creeks (there is a lot of anecdotal evidence to support this), damaging rural roads which are repaired at our expense. They make a lot of money selling water that belongs to all of us. There are already at least 50 semitrailer trips per day onto what were quiet country roads. T h e s e ro a d s b e c o m e m o re dangerous to drive on and turn them into industrial highways. They claim that the extra trucks on the roads are no different to dairy tankers carting milk. Milk is transported from dairy farms every second day, once per day at the very most. There is no comparison to 12 trips per day. This industry benefits a few individuals financially and places unnecessary burdens on the rest of us. It needs to be stopped now. Trevor White, Uki

Council leave our kerbside collection alone

I heard the other day that council might stop their kerbside collections in March and November. I think it would be very short-sighted of them, but someone in there has decided it costs too much money to do the pickup. It’s much better to have the rubbish out for a week each time then it’s gone. It will cost a lot more money if its stopped because people will throw it on the sidewalk or parks or paddocks out of town, then it will be an ongoing job for council all year, looks terrible and gives the whingers even more to complain about. It is a good community service

Pleasing some people

So, said Cr (Chris) Cherry, in relation to comments made about the current council, (TVW March 2) Cr Cherry counts as one of council`s successes the progression of the Clarrie Hall Dam design. However, readers should note that one of the current councillors told us, “we had a council workshop to discuss the future water storage security options. We were told in no uncertain terms that the Byrrill Creek Dam was not on the agenda... the Byrrill Creek Dam is not under consideration....and that “you” as councillors are not allowed to even raise the subject of the Byrrill Creek Dam.” Some Democracy. Some workshop.

Our experts tell us that the new Clarrie Hall Dam wall will retain 3 times its current capacity. But water storage capacity has to be related to both rainfall and catchment area. However high the wall of the Clarrie Hall Dam proposal is, it will always be beholden to its current limited catchment. Cr Cherry stated, at the Meet the Candidates session prior to the council election, that the Byrrill Creek Dam would cost upwards of 150 million dollars, whilst the new proposed Clarrie Hall Dam will cost around 60 million dollars. Councillors should be held accountable there and then when making such statements, and divulge just where the source of their knowledge came from, especially, if the given costs are far from correct, as is the case here. As we are currently experiencing a very prolonged dry period, try considering if this exact scenario returns, thanks to climate change, when they have to drop the Clarrie Hall Dam water storage by thre quarters of its current capacity, for an extended period, to build the wall, just where do they expect the current supply need to come from? What if the dry period lasts two years, not one? Will these same experts then want to up our rates to put in a huge pipe from the Hinze Dam, at a cost of many many millions of dollars to fill the local supply shortfall? Even an idiot would agree that two dams, with two catchment areas would have better guaranteed future water security than one. The Snowy Mountains Electricity Authority stated in its local water security investigation of The Northern Rivers, that the Byrrill Creek Dam was the best, sensible, value for money option. But then what would they know, that our local green experts do not know? As we see, our Greens have found a way of getting the illogical Clarrie Hall Dam as the only consideration. No wonder people are comparing this council to the previous one! Mike Yarrow, Byangum

Help Keep Our Cyclists Safe

Over the past four years, I have cycled between 100 and 200 kilometres each and every week in order to keep my cholesterol in check. My regular route takes me along a small section of the 100km/h Tomewin Road between Numinbah Road and Dulguigan Road. Despite wearing ‘High Viz’ clothing, having bright flashing lights fitted to my bicycle and avoiding peak hour traffic, I experience on

average two near-misses each week where a motorist overtakes me just as a vehicle is passing in the opposite direction. The maths is simple. With a usable road width of six metres, typical for that section of Tomewin Road, two cars two metres wide that are being driven half a metre from the edge of the roadway in opposite directions can safely pass each other with a gap of one metre between the wing mirrors. Add a bicycle to the equation (taking up one metre of the road width) and the gap between the three vehicles is reduced to zero, unless one or both of the drivers takes evasive action. In order to save a fine of $365 by not complying with the legal requirement that a 1.5m gap be maintained between an overtaking vehicle and a cyclist travelling in the same direction on a >60km/h zoned road, especially when there is a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction, the answer is simple, ‘Don’t aim for the gap, stay back’. Steve ‘Buster’ Johnson, Kynnumboon

Shame on you tree loppers

As a resident of Kingscliff we are not allowed to cut our trees on the council strip (only under branches). How then is it possible you can cut beautiful pines down that are in excess of 40 years old? All because they don’t fit into your design, we went to the council’s shopfront and spent a lot of time there and at no point were the removal of Norfolk Pines mentioned. Richard Northey, Kingscliff

Opt out if you don’t want green bin

We should all be in favor of reducing waste. However, the Tweed Shire Council wants us to pay for a third bin whether we need one or not. I have chosen to ‘opt out’ of the third compost bin for these reasons: • I have always recycled my green and domestic food waste which does not include meat, fish, bones and disposable nappies, back into my organic garden. For the council to suggest that they will mulch and compost these contaminants which are known to harbor pathogens and E-coli bacteria is in my opinion unacceptable and potentially unsafe. • I will not accept Council charging me to pick up my compostable waste so Council can then offer to sell it back to me at a later date. Who in their right mind would purchase potentially contaminated compost anyway? Certainly not me. • I have no place or no use for a

third bin. I have always been opposed to the use of disposable nappies, however they seem to be here for good. Imagine a soiled nappy sitting in a wheelie bin for up to two weeks. Imagine the types of meat products, fish, chicken and the like sitting in the third wheelie bin waiting to be sent to the tip to be mulched into compost. Who will be washing and disinfecting the wheelie bins each week? If you do not require the third bin, simply ‘opt out’ to Council as I have. Andrew Bennett, Murwillumbah

Community thank you for Tree of Hope Appeal

On behalf of The Pet Foundation and Petbarn Tweed Heads, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the local Tweed Coast community for their generosity in supporting The Pet Foundation’s annual Tree of Hope Appeal, which raised much needed funds for animals in need. I am thrilled to announce that the local Tweed Coast community contributed $4,012 towards the Appeal. Collectively, we were able to exceed last years fundraising total of $633,000 and raise a massive $1,015,763 nationally - a truly outstanding achievement. All funds raised through the Appeal will go directly to helping local animal shelters continue to do the great work they do, including helping to provide care and treatment for sick, injured, lost and abandoned animals, rescuing animals in crisis and educating people on responsible pet ownership. Some of these organisations include RSPCA, Cat Haven, Lort Smith, Cat Corner and Pet Haven Foundation, just to name a few. The Appeal, which kicked off in November, ran across Petbarn stores nationally for six weeks and encouraged Aussie’s to dig deep by dropping into their local Petbarn Tweed Heads store and purchasing a $3, $5 or $10 Christmas decoration. The Pet Foundation, is the c h a r i t ab l e a r m o f Pe t b a r n and Greencross Vets and was established by Australia’s leading pet care company, Greencross Group Limited, to raise vital funds to actively support pet welfare programs. Since launching in 2012, The Pet Foundation have raised over $5.8 million for local animal shelters and pet related causes. Thank you once again to everyone who participated in this year’s Tree of Hope Appeal, we honestly couldn’t have reached this incredible result without your support. Martin Nicholas, Chief Executive Officer, Greencross Group Limited

Letter of the Week

they are giving the residents. People stash their rubbish in and under their homes and save it for the throwouts. I don’t think the ‘ring-up’ for collection will work, a lot will be jammed down hard into the red bins and then into landfill, along with everything council will have to pick up all the time. As it is now the scrap metal collectors on their own pick up the equivalent of about two truckloads of dead stoves, fridges, freezers, washing machines, push bikes etc, to sell onto the big dealers, as well as the scrappies picking up car batteries, aluminium chairs, copper pipe and wire, but please guys don’t cut the wire off a possible working unit for a few cents. Then there’s the dealers big and small, some collecting car, ute, trailer and truckloads to fix and resell. I myself collected nine loads of good items, to either sell at garage sales or give to family and friends. It’s something a lot of the general public look forward to doing together on the two Sundays. We stop roughly six to eight big loads of crushed stuff nearly every throw-out going into landfill and that’s only from Murwillumbah and surrounding areas. We are a happy lot of ‘crapabillia collectors’ on the Tweed. If they go ahead with this idea it will cost the council and ratepayers a lot of money to keep our streets clean. A lot of people don’t have a vehicle or trailer to take rubbish out to the dump and they charge too much, but from the article in the council’s newsletter ‘Tweed Link’ they have been told by the State Government to stop 70 per cent of waste going into landfill. Maybe they should leave the sidewalk collections as they are. One person’s trash is another’s treasure. A lot of people wait for the throw-outs to replace or repair things at home. T Hollett, Murwillumbah

“I tried to save her” says hero

THE HARROWING tale of a man’s attempt to save a 79-year-old woman from drowning inside her vehicle in a tragic death on Sunday, March 12, at 3.40pm. The Banora Point woman is believed to have driven her vehicle off the road and into Terranora Creek at the corner of Fraser Drive and Dry Dock Road, Tweed Heads South. The vehicle appears to have left the road and plunged into the creek and drifted about 50 metres. What’s most chilling about the incident was one man’s attempt to save the elderly woman, who appears to have resisted rescue. Eric Dickings was first on the scene and didn’t hesitate to jump into the water and try as hard as he could to save her. “She wouldn’t unlock the doors or wind the windows down, when she finally opened the window I grabbed her and she hit my hands away, the car flooded in less than two seconds,” Eric wrote on The Weekly Facebook page. “I had no goggles and the water was so dirty, I got pulled into the window but had to go up for air, then that was it, the car and her were gone, I’m so sorry old love I wish I could’ve saved you.” Eric was quickly praised by more than 50 comments calling Eric a hero. “What a champ you are. You will always be a hero. Love and wishes to you and your family as well as this poor ladies family too,” one comment reads. “You did something a lot of people wouldn’t even think of

doing. Good on you,” reads another. Emergency services were on the scene a short time after the incident with assistance from a Queensland Police helicopter and an investigation area was established. Bystanders crowded the riverbank with rescue divers anchoring the car 50 metres from where it entered the water off a steep embankment. The Weekly spoke to a Police Officer at the scene who said the circumstances were “not suspicious”. The officer said divers from Queensland Police had been dispatched in order to retrieve the woman’s body. “The car will then be towed in the water to the dry dock boat launching point,” the officer said. If you or someone you know needs help, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Trains off the rails back to rail trail ENTHUSIAM FOR a heavy train returning to Murwillumbah from Casino has waned this month, due to a lack of political and economic support, and the proven benefits of light rail which has found much more political favour. Although there are positive signs for a light rail to Tweed Heads from across the border, with reports to reveal more later this year, interest has switched back to the Northern Rivers Rail Trail who are approaching their goal of 7,000 signatures via a Communityrun.org website page. The rail trail essentially proposes removing the rail bollards and tracks, and although they would keep the corridor for any future use, the trail would become an accessible trail and corridor for everyone. Although a success story in many other communities, rail trails have also divided some communities based on differing views about rail infrastructure, the costs and whether a market big enough to sustain a heavy rail service is economically viable. The website page seeks to ease concern around this division pointing out that the rail trail enables a level of future security should the economic viability change. “It is important to preserve the rail corridor as a community asset for any potential future commuter use such as solar/ electric commuter vehicles, light rail, mono rail etc,” a statement from the website reads. “A rail trail will create a beautiful pathway between Casino and Murwillumbah, winding through world heritage areas and some of the most scenic country in Australia. “It will create numerous, sustainable jobs, new businesses can be created and existing businesses have the opportunity to grow. “The Northern Rivers Region attracts thousands of visitors a year and a rail trail would encourage healthy, outdoor activities into the smaller towns and villages of the area. Rail Trail surveys show that they attract higher yield and longer staying visitors.” HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think the Rail Trail is a great idea? Or perhaps you have some further information? We’d love to hear from you. Email: editor@theweekly.net.au or phone (02) 6672 4443.

LABOR'S MEN'S SHED DECISION UNJUSTIFIED Councillor Reece Byrnes has identified these reasons for granting a temporary men's shed licence at Black Rocks: a) Community support of a men’s shed at the Black Rocks site WRONG. No survey has been done to find out how the community feels. The recent very successful 'Concert for Koalas' at Pottsville is indicative of the community support for an alternative men's shed location which does not impact on koalas. Also there are 129,730 on-line signatures against a men's shed at Black Rocks [ www.tinyurl.com/4koalas ]. b) Division & uncertainty this issue has caused in the Pottsville community over a long period of time WRONG. A men's shed at the Black Rocks site will not put an end to community division. Environmentalists and concerned citizens will continue to campaign for protection of our endangered koala population. They will also monitor and report any impacts of men's shed activities on koalas in accordance with recommendations by the NSW Office of Environment & Heritage. c) Lack of available or cost-effective alternative sites WRONG. Two new potential sites in Pottsville are under investigation by Council. Barry Sheppard sports field is also an option. State MP Geoff Provest's report on potentially available Crown Land sites in and near Pottsville will be finalised within a few weeks. He has advised that there are plenty of Crown Land sites available. He has also announced 'in principle' support for a temporary site at the North Pottsville Caravan Park and at Lot 3 Centennial Drive, Pottsville if Council and the Pottsville and District Men's Shed are agreeable and written application is made to Crown Lands.

LABOR & COUNCILLOR BYRNES: DO YOU WANT YOUR LEGACY TO BE HAMMERING ANOTHER NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF OUR ENDANGERED BLACK ROCKS KOALAS? There is no justification in ignoring the opinion of the koala specialist that there is strong likelihood of a significant impact on koalas from noise and disturbance by men's shed activities, and that these koalas need to be left alone to rest and recover to sustainable levels. Why take the risk of more harm to koalas when potentially suitable permanent sites have been identified?

Please attend the 16 March Council meeting in Tweed Heads at 5pm and send a strong message to Labor & Councillor Byrnes that the community supports a men's shed but not at Black Rocks.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Knives come out during public brawl MURWILLUMBAH POLICE were called to a dramatic street fight that escalated into a vicious knife fight in a Murwillumbah laneway, next to the multi-level car park on Thursday, March 9, at 9.45am. The incident, which was witnessed by several local businesses including The Weekly staff, appeared to start between two groups of adults aged between 25-45 years old. The two groups hurled abuse at each other for more than 30 minutes, until the situation escalated and a lot of pushing and shoving occurred. The start of the fight appeared to be with fists and although the two groups became close - no physical contact was seen.

She made his life hell but still got a chunk of his estate

However, the scene quickly escalated with what allegedly appeared to be knives and threatening stab-like actions made, but again no contact was seen. Local police were quick to the scene and the situation defused, as they commenced an investigation into the matter, with some help from witnesses. It is unknown why the fight started and also how it escalated, both of which is being investigated until more is known The Weekly has blurred the face of those involved. No one was injured in the altercation, however an ambulance was later seen in the area. Police said they now had several people to question over the matter and were compiling evidence from witnesses.

An ex-wife who vowed she would make “what was left” of her ex-husband’s “wretched life not worth living” has been awarded $750,000 from his estate by a court after he died without leaving a will. Joshua Crowther, wills and estates specialist at Stacks Law Firm, said the remarkable recent decision in the NSW Supreme Court demonstrates the importance of getting expert legal advice on drawing up a will to ensure that your estate goes to the people you want it to go to. The couple had divorced 25 years earlier after being together for 18 months, during which they had a daughter. The husband, a doctor, signed a matrimonial ﬁnancial separation and paid all his child support obligations. That should have provided a clean break for the couple, but the ex-wife conducted what the judge called “a relentless persecution of the deceased” and “she carried into effect, as best she could, her stated aim of making his life a misery”. This included threatening to “destroy his life” unless he gave her an extra $60,000, then bringing professional misconduct proceedings against him. She then alleged to police he had sexually abused their daughter and threatened to kidnap her. These allegations were dismissed. The doctor died without a will, leaving an estate of $5 million that under the rules of intestacy went to his daughter.

The fight quickly escalated when the knives came out as seen in both men’s right hands

Charges laid over 2016 Tweed River crash A QUEENSLAND woman has been charged with a range of driving offences after her passenger died when the car she was driving crashed into the Tweed River in September, 2016. The incident (pictured below) occurred around 2pm on Friday, September 23, 2016, when emergency services were called to Tweed Valley Way, Condong, where they found a red sedan fully submerged. A 53-year-old woman, who was travelling in the front passenger seat, suffered critical injuries and died on Wednesday, October 12, 2016.

The driver, a then-33-year-old woman, was also taken to The Tweed Hospital; however, her injuries were not lifethreatening. Richmond Crash Investigation Unit officers travelled to a home in Queensland, on Monday, March 13, where they arrested a 34-year-old woman. She has been charged with; dangerous driving occasioning death, negligent driving causing death and not keeping left of a dividing line. The woman is due to appear in Murwillumbah Local Court on Tuesday, May 23. Police said she was not permitted to drive in NSW.

The judge ruled that despite the ex-wife’s “post divorce persecution”, she was entitled to 15 per cent of the estate because the relationship and its breakdown had had a serious impact on her life. Mr Crowther said it was unusual for a court to order that a portion of an estate be allocated to an estranged person who had been hostile to the deceased for two decades. “If courts are now going to be awarding a portion of the estate to these sorts of claimants, it just shows how important it is to have an expertly drawn up will, and to update that will as your relationships change,” Mr Crowther said.

“When separating from a relationship it is important to ﬁnalise the property settlement. It would be wise to get a section 95 release under the Succession Act, so that the ex can’t make a claim on the estate in the future. If that had been done, she would not have been able to bring her claim.”

It’s Coeliac Awareness Week and Tweed Valley IGA has you covered WITH THE start of Coeliac Awareness Week commencing on Monday, March 13, and the statistic that coeliac disease affects on average approximately 1 in 70 Australians, many IGA stores across Australia have responded to their local customer’s gluten free diet and impressively, stock over 2,000 gluten free products. Some of the largest gluten free offerings can be found in Tweed Valley IGA and claim the largest range in the Tweed Coast and Hinterland. With such a large part of the community adopting a gluten free lifestyle, IGA has recognised that the gluten free offering has moved away from just specialty lines and some stores have even seen that their most popular gluten free products have become pantry staples. Items such as pasta sauce, breakfast cereals, bread and gluten free ready-made meals are in high demand. Some of the most popular gluten free products purchased by gluten free shoppers and those looking to reduce their intake of gluten in IGA include Zilch’s gluten free ice cream, Zehnder’s gourmet loaves, Brookfarm’s muesli and gluten free biscuits from Freedom Foods.

Tweed Valley IGA is just one of the many IGA stores that has catered for Australians changing consumer tastes. Owner Brett Bugg (pictured below with wife Leanne) comments: “We’ve recognised the health needs of our local customers who either are looking to reduce gluten or cut it out of their diet completely. Our extensive range of gluten free products reflects what the community have told us they need for their dietary requirements, which is why we decided to make a feature of it in store at Tweed Valley IGA,” Brett said. “We have customers travelling from the Gold Coast regularly to buy the products on sale at our store. We stock over 100 different gluten free sauces and items that weren’t previously gluten free such as lollies and ice cream.”

Kingscliff Podiatry offers the latest in 3D foot scanning KINGSCLIFF PODIATRY now has the latest 3D Foot scanning technology for custom orthotic manufacture. 3D Laser scanning technology has taken a huge forward stride in the past 6 months with the introduction of mini scanners which clip onto an Ipad and utilise the camera to comprehensively measure foot shape in seconds. The scan is then used by a high powered computer programme to design the orthotic shape according to the Podiatrists prescription. The orthotic is then cut out of the highest quality materials by a computer controlled router in a local laboratory and hand finished. The result is a pair of custom orthotics made to the best industry standards available which will last many years.

Kingscliff Podiatry can assess your foot biomechanics to check for any abnormalities which may contribute to any symptoms you may have. Any Biomechanical abnormalities can be addressed with custom orthotic therapy which translates to pain relief. Hyper - rockered shoes are another tool in the Podiatrists tool box for treating certain biomechanical issues. Patients that can particularly benefit from this technical shoe design include individuals suffering from painful fixed or partially fixed big toes after surgery or from severe osteo arthritis, Ankle pain, bunion pain, mid-foot osteo arthritis, Achilles Tendonitis, Plantar fasciitis, and lower back pain. The shoe works by having an enhanced curve in the forefoot which starts further towards the heel than in a standard shoe, and is deliberately

stiffened. This means the big toe and ankle don’t need to bend as much as in normal gait and therefore have far less force placed upon them during walking which translates to less pain. For more information on all Foot pain give us a call on 02 6674 2933 or check our website www.kingscliffpodiatry.com. au

What painful conditions can orthotics treat? • Heel pain • Plantar fasciitis • Heel spur • Arch pain • Bunions • Ankle pain • Growing pains • Forefoot and Mid-foot pain • Foot and Lower leg tiredness • Knee Hip and Lower back pain

Murwillumbah Chamber sees change of leadership

THE MURWILLUMBAH District Business Chamber has announced a reshuffle which it says will bring positive changes to the group and local businesses. President David Vincent announce he was stepping down last week, with his replacement announced as local identity Ilze Jaunberzins. There’s also been several volunteer board members who have stepped up their roles and enthusiasm for building a better chamber for Murwillumbah. Acting President, Ilze Jaunberzins and the board accepted David’s resignation and commended him for his service. “We have been revising our strategies over the last few months and have been listening to our members and have had guidance from the NSW Chamber,” Ilze said. “For instance, there will be an introduction of night networking events for all business owners, especially those who can’t make the breakfasts, a revised website, as well as much more engagement with local businesses about their needs. “The Board is looking forward to the implementation of the new strategies that will inform, advocate and boost opportunities for businesses in the Tweed Valley. “A few weeks ago, as part of this restructure, we also revised the role of the casual Public Liaison Officer. “There are Board members who are able to cover the duties of this role. “Skye Swift from Varela Swift Pharmacy is the new Chamber Business Officer and will be handling all phone enquiries. “Others will be coordinating the monthly newsletter, arranging the networking events and handling the other duties. “Although we have been very grateful for the support, it just makes good business sense.” The first MDBC evening networking event will be announced in the coming weeks on www.murwillumbahchamber.com.au

proceeds will go to the Leukaemia Foundation. Dave and Bronwyn Hancox are originally from country Victoria and moved to Mullumbimby 25 years-ago. Dave is passionate about this cause after his brother George was diagnosed with Leukaemia at a very young aged and died at 16 years old. Dave is also passionate about organics and together with his wife established an organic market garden in Mullumbimby in the year 2000 and has recently created a phone app on insects and organic gardening. Their new property is located at Limpinwood and will be setup as an educational facility to teach people how to produce their own quality organic foods. All of this is very important to reducing the instance of cancer. Please come along on the day and enjoy a cuppa and morning tea as we would love your support or you can make a donation at: my.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/jessicaharvey

previously when membership was $320 and had much fewer actual benefits than now,” he said. “Any change causes comments, and this membership cost and inclusions reflect what the majority of the industry have asked for. “Perhaps if that operator called and spoke to Destination Tweed then we can answer their queries, it is unfortunate though some don’t, or groups perpetuate misinformation. “We will however be reaching out to all of industry, but that takes a bit of time and this is the first week. “Implementing change is never easy and as you know, we won’t be able to please everyone, but we are providing resources that business can benefit from.” The changes come as Destination Tweed presents its Quarterly Report (October to December 2016) to Tweed Shire Council tonight (Thursday, March 16). The report highlights ongoing growth in tourism with the total number of domestic visitor nights in the Tweed increasing to 2,204,000 up 22 per cent from the previous year, while the total number of visitors to the Tweed reached 1,799,000 up one per cent. The total number of visitor nights in the Tweed was also significantly increased compared to the previous year by 25 per cent to 2,486,000. Annual packages start from $120 as a tourism supporter, $350 for tourism operators and $750 for tourism partners. Destination Tweed said it had designed membership opportunities to accommodate a broad array of tourism providers and is excited to be working together with local operators.

SEVERAL TOURSIM operators across the Tweed have expressed concerns with increased costs to brochure distribution fees at the Tweed’s three Visitor Information Centres, announced by Destination Tweed as a revival of membership fees this week. Tourism operators use brochure space in Visitor Information Centres to connect with visitors, offer more information or discounts and ultimately secure bookings. But increases to the costs of presenting the brochures is set to increase from $220 per annum, which was for the brochure space, to $365 for a reintroduced membership system with added benefits. Destination Tweed CEO Bill Tatchell spoke to The Weekly about the membership fee structure and said that while the plan was in its early stages it would offer a range of “real benefits” from the previous fee structure. “Although still in the early stages, previously brochure distribution in the Visitor Information Centres was $220 and that was for just brochure,” he said. “Destination Tweed has reintroduced membership for $365 which includes brochure distribution and a lot of other real benefits that have value to an active tourism business. “These values were determined by surveying the Tweeds tourism operators and asking what they would want to see included. “We also looked at what operators used and engaged with when it was a user pays model.” Mr Tatchell said Destination Tweed would be communicating the changes to operators and acknowledged that changes to tourism were never easy. “What’s interesting to note is that

LITTERBUGS WHO do their dirty deeds on our local roads and highways had better keep an eye in the rear view mirror, because anyone 18 or over can now report littering from vehicles and a fine from $250 is likely be issued. The ‘Report to EPA’ online service is part of a comprehensive State Government antilittering program that aims to deter people from littering from vehicles by increasing the likelihood of being seen, reported and fined. North East Waste on behalf of its seven north coast member councils including Tweed Shire, has been rolling out a roadside litter reduction campaign across the region to encourage residents to register and report littering from vehicles. With the assistance of the Roads and Maritime Services, five litter hot spots on or close to the Pacific Highway at Chinderah, Ballina and Grafton have been regularly monitored over 6 months. Roll out of the 1st stage of the roadside litter awareness campaign in the January school holidays saw reductions of more than 65 percent in the volume of litter at all but one of the hot spots. The 2nd stage of the campaign is about

to kick off with the ongoing support of a number of local businesses who have again put their hands up to be litter partners including the Chinderah BP Travel Centre, Chinderah Golf Club and the new North Bound Chinderah Service Centre. They are spreading the anti-litter message by encouraging their customers to do their bit in helping to keep our community clean and litter free. Karen Rudkin, North East Waste Litter Project Coordinator, said that the campaign sends a clear message that littering is unacceptable and that litterers will be seen, reported and fined. “Roadside litter is one of our region’s most unnecessary and preventable environmental problems. Reporting littering from vehicles helps to raise awareness and change behavior leading to reduced clean up costs and a cleaner and healthier local environment. “By registering and reporting littering from vehicles, you are part of the solution to the problem of litter. So why not get on board and help bust the litterbugs. To find out more or to register, search ‘report to EPA’ or visit http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/ reporttoepa

HOLISTIC JOURNEY UNCOVERS SURPRISING RESULTS

In carrying out a Holistic Analysis, we look at the three main states of being, namely physical health, mental health and social health. My own journey through Holistic health surprisingly led me to discover the greatest influence on my personal health is not fitness or diet, it is the current social environment. This includes politics, corporate behaviour and economics. I have discovered the political and corporate environments that are now impacting me so heavily are also affecting virtually everyone I talk to. To one extent or another these influences are threatening the quality of our lives in real and material ways. They are a clear and present danger to our physical, mental and social health. Further, I have discovered these negative influences are not happening by chance.

THE NEW ECONOMICS

These days, the economy is not about the simple social commerce between individuals in a society. These days there is a new economics and it is code for globalisation, international corporatism, maximised proﬁt and entrenched structural favouritism and advantage - which I believe is a polite way of saying corruption. I have discovered that the new economics is code for an unprecedented and insatiable upward funnelling of money, power and equity towards the apex drivers of our consumer society. Over the last 25 years there has been an unprecedented transfer of public and private money and assets that has occurred in countries around the world, including Australia. There are extraordinary levels of greed, self-interest and public betrayal in the political, administrative and corporate systems controlling us. The ‘system’ is being set up so this situation is prioritised and is as free as possible from obstruction.

I DISCOVERED - IT’S NOT JUST ME

The outcomes of this politically enabled and media driven corporatisation of our societies is becoming plainly visible now. Our individual, social and environmental health and our legacy to future generations are all declining. In fact, if we are to believe the media, the very existence of life on this planet is facing its end due to this behaviour. This is the creeping reality of our times. In a holistic sense and in common sense it is affecting every one of us in the most basic ways in our day to day lives, making us sick and killing as surely as any plague. As a part of my Holistic health journey, I have discovered we are experiencing a quickly growing toll of individual and social mental disease, disorder and dysfunction. We see rising rates of anxiety, depression, demoralisation and violent behaviour. Suicide rates are rising rapidly, particularly amongst our young and those given the demoralising task of looking after our health. In short, personal and social disquiet, dysfunction and social unrest are occurring on an increasing scale. Current health and social statistics show us that we are, by overwhelming and growing numbers, a sick and unhappy society. We are not coping and we are not OK and, in a Holistic sense for the sake of our health and our lives, it is about time we admitted it. There is plainly a growing dis-ease amidst the results of the globalisation of our social, economic and political systems and the attempted take-over of our personal and social value systems. There is growing despair and disenfranchisement among our young. The new economics of globalised corporate ownership is ushering in a future that appears to be brutal and uncaring. It also appears to be extraordinarily deliberate in its establishment and roll out. We see clearly now that too many people

are being dispossessed and left behind and many of us feel that our own feet are on an increasingly slippery slope.

THE POLITICAL SCENE

Politics looks to be a media sideshow being run for the benefit of distracting most of us while the real work of fooling all of us goes on under the radar and behind closed doors. Political processes carried out in secret and protected with phrases like ‘commercial in confidence’ should be illegal. These phrases seem to have become nothing more than a cloak of privileged privacy over what should be open public discussions. I still don’t understand how a publicly held asset can be sold to a private corporation without the permission of the people who own it. Our ‘leaders’, while being ‘in touch’ with the new economics, appear to be out of touch with the morality our times. Often our hard-working local political representatives appear powerless to influence the inner party machine. The hierarchy say they will listen harder and yet they cannot hear the central message. In nation after nation around the world people are saying - we do not want a balanced budget, we want a new morality in politics, a new value system. We want to be able to trust you. We need you to be successful in running the country. We do not want to be in a deteriorating social and physical environment. We need you to stop the rot and alter the direction we are heading in rather than being in partnership with the elements that are creating it. We are sick of the use of power to supply profit for the few being sold as social change and benefit for the many. The message people are delivering is - many of us are not buying your message any more. To many, it feels like our governments have systematically turned their back on everything that could bring about good fortune for everyone. Every system, every piece of science, every spiritual value is systematically ignored, attacked, devalued, until all that is left is what suits what they are doing. That is where the problem is manifesting, though it is not where the solution lies. WHAT TO DO? If we wanted to, could we change or even avoid the unfavourable future our corporate and political ‘leaders’ are relentlessly moving us towards? Can we create, from where we are now, safe, supportive and thriving communities to live in? Can we prevent a future that we do not want, and can we create a new, different one? As a result of the discoveries I have made through my Holistic journey I absolutely believe the answer is ‘yes’. One of the most inspiring and yet little discussed political movements in Australia was the movement to save the Snowy River Hydro

Scheme from sale to overseas interests. This was the initial attempt at privatising our national water supply. The movement that stopped it was a grass roots campaign. It stopped a greedy, politically represented corporate attempt to strip yet another public asset from the people who had funded, built and maintained it. It happened because a small group of local people got together and talked about it and then acted. They didn’t stay home and watch a reality show on TV, they created their own reality - and as a result changed all our realities. It is a stunningly fantastic example of the power we still have as individuals. Whether you like the industry or not, halting the attempted destruction of the greyhound industry in NSW, that would have ruined jobs and certainly have led to the privatisation of key real estate sites and the sale of yet more publicly held land, is another example.

THE POWER OF THE INDIVIDUAL

As well-known American environmentalist Gus Speth is quoted – “I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address those problems, but I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy……and to deal with those we need a spiritual and cultural transformation – and we scientists don’t know how to do that.” As individuals, we need to create that spiritual and cultural transformation in ourselves. Whether you develop that value system through science or spirituality does not matter, because they both lead to the same understanding. The solution is to become as informed as possible about the situations affecting your life, match them against your personal value system and your vision and act to promote positive outcomes for yourself. In a consumer society, it is the decisions and actions made by the consumer, not the producer or the politician that is in true control. The control we are looking for actually lies within the behaviour generated by our own vision and values.

HOLISTIC JOURNEY DISCOVERS SURPRISING RESULTS

It seems whenever the machinery of this new economics clashes with social, environmental or intergenerational justice, the new economics wins. It is delivering a relentless and progressive stripping away of individual opportunities, freedoms, justice and intergenerational inheritance. I have discovered that as a lived experience this state-enabled, corporate serving, economic ‘revolution’ is not working well for most of us. As far as our social, political and environmental wellbeing are concerned, the new economics is proving to be a disaster. On top of the growing failure of the new economic system to produce favourable individual, social and environmental outcomes, we are experiencing the global imposition of a particular set of social values that in many instances are at odds with our personal and cultural values. It appears this push is compounding the legacy of stress, frustration and disconnectedness many individuals are already dealing with.

Councillor moves to change consultation methods and model across Tweed Shire

Cr Ron Cooper

Council responds to boardwalk delays RESIDENTS OF the Save our Boardwalk Group have called on Tweed Shire Council to provide further confirmation that the boardwalk will be opened in its full capacity and when it’s likely to be reopened. The boardwalk, at the Anchorage Islands, near Harbour Drive, had fallen into disrepair and residents feared the boardwalk would be taken away so they formed a group to campaign to have the boardwalk saved and restored. Tweed Shire Council has since responded to the calls from residents with a report into the structure, the costs and timeframe to repair the boardwalk due to be released in the April council meeting. Save Our Boardwalk Group Secretary Richard Murray wrote to The Weekly urging a report into the matter and encouraged others to sign an online petition. “On the 17th November 2016 Tweed Shire Council advised the Save Our Boardwalk group that our much loved boardwalk would not be repaired before the 2016 school holidays,” he said. “At that time quotations for the boardwalk repairs, ranging from $10,000 to $26,500, had been received. “The tenderer also advised our group that such repairs would have allowed the boardwalk to be serviceable for some years. “The Save our Boardwalk Group, numbering 568 petitioners, requests council again to have the repair of the Tweed Heads Boardwalk completed promptly. “We seek your continued support by writing to council, our press and to those who can assist our petitioning of this matter

Option 1 - A Council led workshop which specifically looks at relationship between building height and community benefit presented as a series of building height options. Option 2 – A series of resident meetings be organised to progressively gain input and guide the direction of a new Locality Plan. Option 3 - An external facilitator led workshop with expert panelists to review the relationship between locality character, community benefit, development outcomes and building height. This Option seeks to include a key round table style meeting format proposed from the feedback within the work undertaken by Councillor Cooper. Option 4 – Apply the same consultation methodology as Option 02 to a site specific redevelopment proposal for the site owned by Chen-Yu Pty Ltd, Pearl Street Kingscliff. Option 5 - Progress the draft Kingscliff Locality Plan to formal public exhibition without additional community based workshops. It is recommended that Council determine a preferred option for consultation. The options will be discussed and a vote is expected during council’s Ordinary Meeting tonight, Thursday, March 16.

at http://chn.ge/2dPO27w.” The Weekly put several questions to council including where the current timeframe for works on the boardwalk stands. “Staff will present a report to Council’s April meeting that includes options and costs for the rehabilitation and reopening of the boardwalk,” a council spokesperson said. “This report will be based upon the results of a geotechnical assessment of the stability of piles. “The outcomes of this investigation will dictate the scope of work required to make the boardwalk safe, and influence the associated costs. “The costs of reopening the boardwalk and Council’s ability to identify and allocate funding towards it will influence the time at which it is reopened.” The spokesperson told The Weekly that the boardwalk will not be reopened until it is deemed safe and that geotechnical investigations have not yet been finalised. “The boardwalk will only be reopened if it can be made safe and there is an acceptable period over which it can be expected to remain safe. It will not be opened in a ‘reduced capacity’,” the Council spokesperson said. “The geotechnical investigations have not been finalised. These results will determine whether or not the concrete piles supporting the boardwalk can be deemed stable enough to support the structure. “If the piles are found to be inadequate, the cost and time factors associated with reopening the boardwalk will be significantly increased.”

Solar Bonus Ends This Year! Are You Ready Yet?

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

Every cent of the Solar Bonus generated by your existing system is collected right up until the end of the scheme, when both system are combined. Your new hybrid solar system allows greater independence and typically pays for itself in 3-5 years. 888 Solar Tek tailor the new solar system around your existing equipment and provide 12 months free monitoring and support.

TWEED SHIRE Councillor Ron Cooper could soon introduce changes to community consultation processes across the Tweed and specifically across the Kingscliff Locality Plan, which he says will improve the way Council communicates and engages with residents. Council’s report said Cr Cooper had collected 16,000 signatures for the Save Our Lot 490 petition, 1,250 Future of Kingscliff surveys and the 14,000 signatures for the Heights of Buildings in Kingscliff petition. He was struck by the “contempt in which Government, bureaucrats and elected representatives were held, along with the lack of knowledge about the role of the various levels of government”. Since Cr Cooper’s election to Council in October 2016, he has identified a priority for council to revise its methods of community engagement with a trial of a new consultation model in the hope of reversing, in the Tweed at least, what has become a world-wide trend. He is seeking to trial this new model which facilitates a more personable kind of meeting in local venues using a round-table format. He believes that this format enables residents to be exposed to each other’s views in a supported and informed manner. “It also gives residents the satisfaction of knowing that their life experience, their imagination and their common sense is valued by Council in the future planning of the Tweed,” he said. “This will, in turn, foster a greater community spirit and faith in Council processes. Council will be able to progress plans knowing that the community is right behind them as a result of informed consensus decision – making.” As such, Cr Cooper has called on his fellow Councillors to cast a vote to support one of five potential options listed below:

Political storm brewing over Tweed Hospital crisis he asked for more time to settle into the new role and said he was aware of the situation and understood the pressures placed on medical staff. “We need some more time on this to convince the Treasurer of our proposal and ensure we get this right,” he said in early 2017. Mr Secord said during the 2015 State election, Mr Provest pledged $48 million for the hospital – “but there has been no action”. “Tweed doctors have expressed their frustration as a clinical services plan was developed more than seven years ago and many of the services were supposed to have been completed in 2017,” he said. Tweed doctors told Mr Secord they needed, as a minimum, to increase the size of the emergency department, double the number of operating theatres, increase intensive care by 30 per cent and increase the number of cancer treatment chairs. On a recent visit, Mr Hazzard floated the idea of a brandnew hospital on a “greenfield site”, however, Labor accused him of engaging in “diversions and delaying tactics”. In March 2015, Labor pledged $211 million towards a major redevelopment of the The Tweed Hospital. Next year, Labor will announce its formal plans for The Tweed Hospital before the next state election.

This commitment will be made in consultation with the local community, the Labor candidate and local doctors, nurses and other allied health professionals on the North Coast.

Emergency Department at Tweed Hospital

More than one in five patients waited longer than four hours in The Tweed Hospital emergency department; that is 20.3 per cent of all patients. About 49,000 patients visit the Tweed emergency department each year, making it one of the State’s busiest hospitals outside western Sydney. Unfortunately, 630 patients were forced to wait longer than eight and a half hours. (Source: BHI – June to September 2016 quarter – released December 2016)

Elective surgery at Tweed Hospital

As of September 30, 2016, 906 patients were waiting for non-urgent elective surgery at The Tweed Hospital. This included 257 patients for orthopaedic surgery; 226 for ear, nose and throat surgery and 169 for gynaecological surgery. The median wait for non-urgent elective surgery was 246 days with 10 per cent of patients waiting longer than 346 days for non-urgent elective surgery.

NSW LABOR Leader Luke Foley visited The Tweed Hospital on Tuesday, March 14, demanding the State Government provide a definitive timeline for the “overstretched Tweed Hospital delays by the Nationals” which he said was placing the hospital in a “crisis”. Mr Foley (pictured middle) made the comments alongside NSW Shadow Health Minister and Minister for the North Coast Walt Secord (right) and Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot. Earlier this month, senior doctors from The Tweed Hospital spoke out against conditions of the hospital saying their patients were being forced to go across the border to the Gold Coast’s John Flynn Hospital for treatment, as their facilities were now overstretched. Other patients have been transferred to Lismore Base Hospital and doctors said The Tweed Hospital was at “breaking point”. “Tweed is a growing community and its hospital is under enormous pressure. It is in crisis,” Mr Foley said. “Doctors, nurses and allied health professionals are crying out for the upgrade for their patients. North Coast patients deserve a hospital which meets their needs. “It is unfair to force patients to go to Lismore or the Gold Coast for treatment when they live in the Tweed.” Mr Secord slammed the National Party and said the time for “weasel words and old tricks by the Nationals” had passed and the community deserved to know what were the actual plans for Tweed Hospital. “The Liberals and Nationals – particularly, Tweed MP Geoff Provest are either unwilling or unable to represent the Tweed,” Mr Secord said. “Mr Provest is failing the families and patients on the Tweed. They deserve someone who will stand up for them.” Mrs Elliot said locals were “fed up” with the delays to their local hospital and she also took aim at the National Party. “Locals are sick and tired of the National Party’s lies and broken promises over the Tweed Hospital,” she said. “The Nationals in Government at both a Federal and State level continue to neglect the health and hospital needs of families on the North Coast.” Mr Provest MP has previously met with recently appointed State Minister for Health Brad Hazzard, who acknowledged the need for improvements at the current hospital site as well as a new hospital in the future. Although Mr Hazzard could not commit to a new hospital

Living Life To The Full The People You Meet... with Fran Rabbitts THE COMBINED talents of two Tweed artists Graeme Stevenson, a wellknown wildlife artist and documentary filmmaker Sophia Stacey is proving to be a successful and creative partnership with their internationally recognised television program ‘Put Some Colour in Your Life’. Graeme loves the beauty of the Tweed hills, valleys and beaches and clad in classic black leathers he rides his Harley Davidson to artists’ studios where techniques, passions and sometimes a dash of philosophy is shared. Sophia, an experienced filmmaker reflected on her journey and said, “It’s amazing how an idea I nursed in Murwillumbah has become so successful.” “When Graeme Stevenson and I first met and combined our skills and creativity we realised we had the same goals; to give Australian artists international exposure. This has come to fruition and now ‘Put Some Colour in Your Life’ accessible worldwide on television and YouTube.” They’ve filmed in excess of 200 artists across Australia, New Zealand and America and these documentaries have been viewed over

H lh

Bringing some colour to your life eight million times on YouTube. Recently contracts have been signed with television channels, initially with English TV and now with five channels in Australia, seven in New Zealand and over 200 in the United States. This keeps Sophia and Graeme on the move. Last year, as well as travelling around Australia they had five flights to New Zealand and seven to America. Plans are underway to film artists in the United Kingdom later this year. Of course there is a benefit for Tweed tourism with international exposure to the beauty of the Tweed’s mountains, rainforests, beaches and lifestyle. But where did it all begin? Always an extroverted child, Sophia sang, danced and performed. Being bright, she attended La Trobe University, studying art in various forms including film and music but her love of nature, she recalls was the first step on this journey. “One of my most enjoyable memories was swimming with the dolphins in Port Phillip Bay when I was working on a charter boat. I then applied successfully for a grant through a university to develop an educational program about dolphins,” she said. Then serendipity took over when she met documentary filmmakers and became involved with various projects including tourism and local history. Meanwhile, she funded and supported herself through her music, playing in

bands, songwriting, teaching piano, guitar and performing skills to many aspiring students. Always waiting for opportunities in filmmaking. “Filmmaking is an art and can be such a healing tool,” she said. “It allows people to get in touch with their inner voice. Art relaxes the individual doing

wonders for one’s soul. Our world has become too busy, art helps to slow that world down and can open up one’s soul to beauty. “Since living here I’ve never looked back, the Tweed with its natural beauty is very inspiring and one of the most beautiful places for me. It continues to inspire and has nurtured my creativity.”

In April 2012 the disappearance of Allison BadenClay rocked the sleepy Brisbane suburb of Brookfield in Queensland. Allison’s body was found on a creek bank under Kholo Bridge Crossing at Anstead in Brisbane’s west, 10 days after she disappeared. She was reported missing by her husband and the police investigation followed. Gerard Baden-Clay was the prime suspect in her disappearance and was subsequently charged with her murder in June 2012. In July 2014, Gerard Baden-Clay was found guilty of murdering his wife and given a life sentence for his crime in the Queensland Supreme Court after a defended jury trial. In December 2015, Baden-Clay’s lawyers successfully argued that he unintentionally killed his wife during an argument and the murder conviction was downgraded to manslaughter by the Queensland Court of Appeal, much to the dismay of the wife’s family, and the nation. The Queensland Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) appealed against the decision of the Court of Appeal to the High Court and the murder conviction was ultimately reinstated by the High Court in August last year, giving the family a sense of finality to their protracted suffering. Justice appeared to have been done. Prior to the murder, Mr and Mrs Baden-Clay prepared wills early on in their relationship appointing each other as sole executor and beneficiary. Baden-Clay was appointed the sole executor and beneficiary of his late wife’s 1997 will. After Baden-Clay’s murder charge the Supreme Court gave Allison’s father temporary control of her estate which included her life insurance policies. If Baden-Clay was acquitted of her murder then he would resume his role as executor of her estate. His conviction means her parents can seek a permanent order granting them control of her estate. Allison’s estate is said to consist of two life insurance policies amounting to almost $800,000, which was ordered to be held in trust by the court pending the outcome of Baden-Clay’s trial. There is a further superannuation account amounting to approximately $236,000. Allison’s father was successful in his application to remove his son-in-law as executor of his daughter’s will as a result of Baden-Clay’s murder conviction. Mr Dickie was made the sole administrator of his late daughter’s estate by the Supreme Court of Queensland in Brisbane on Thursday 23 February 2017. The grant was issued after Allison’s father filed an uncontested application for administration of her estate, including her life insurance and superannuation policies, in early February. The decision by the High Court confirming the murder conviction essentially disqualifies Baden-Clay from acting as the executor of his late wife’s will, as well as receiving any financial payment from her estate as a beneficiary. This is what is referred to as the ‘forfeiture rule’. It is an established principle of law in Australia that any “person who is criminally responsible for the

death of another forfeits their right to take property to which they would otherwise be entitled upon the death of another person for whose death they are responsible”. In essence, if a person is convicted of the murder (or manslaughter) of another person then they cannot legally inherit from that person’s estate. The rule of law being that no man can benefit from his own crime. The act of doing so is considered ‘disentitling conduct’, being conduct that permanently disqualifies a person from benefiting from the estate of another. The person is also excluded from benefiting from assets which don’t necessarily form part of the estate i.e. as a result of joint tenancy and payment of life insurance or superannuation proceeds. Queensland does not have specific legislation dealing with this and follows the common law which is in line with the above statement. New South Wales has legislation covering this issue which is designed to give the Supreme Court discretion to allow some offenders access to the estate in certain circumstances (Forfeiture Act 1995). For example where a victim of long term domestic violence snaps and kills a person, they may be able to apply for forfeiture modification orders within 12 months of the death (or later with leave). Recent amendments also allow people who are acquitted on the grounds of mental illness to apply. Another form of disentitling conduct which relates to, but is distinguishable from, the above is assistance in a suicide. The concept of assisted suicide, or euthanasia, is controversial at best. Take for example a daughter assisting her father in ending his life after a painfully drawn out illness. Such an act might attract a conviction of manslaughter, or perhaps murder, essentially disqualifying her from inheriting under her father’s will. This might be viewed as unfair given the circumstances however the Court in Queensland does not consider the moral culpability of the person assisting in a death under the forfeiture rule. In past decisions, the motive and intention of the person who contributes to the death has been deemed irrelevant. In the Baden-Clay case, the forfeiture rule applies to the husband and would have applied even if his murder conviction was downgraded to manslaughter. There was argument that the motive behind Allison’s murder was the financial benefit Baden-Clay would receive from her estate. This was ultimately rejected by the Court and would, in any case, be deemed irrelevant by the Court under the forfeiture rule. Mr Baden-Clay has been disqualified from receiving any benefit from his wife’s superannuation and life insurance policies, as well as inheriting from her estate under the will. Allison’s father has been appointed by the Supreme Court as the administrator of his late daughter’s $1 million dollar estate, which is set to be inherited by her three daughters. It appears justice has prevailed. We welcome any enquiries or comments in relation to these issues and look forward to assisting with these important issues.

THE 2017 Australian Longboard Surfing Open commenced at Kingscliff on Wednesday and will go across the weekend with a record number of International and top-line surfers visiting the Tweed. Current men’s world title holder Brazilian Phil Rajzman and women’s World Champion Tory Gilkerson of the USA head an all-star field. “This is the biggest field of international surfers we’ve had in the history of the event,” organiser Sean McKeown said. “We are expecting so fierce competition and some great surfing.” The Australian Longboard Surfing Open is the only World Surf League sanctioned longboard event on Australia’s east coast featuring some of the world’s best longboard surfers. It honours the history of longboard surfing together with amateur divisions and specialty surfing, live music, surf vehicle displays, surf movies and more. Organiser Sean said the surf was looking promising for the weekend’s events with some beach entries still available. He said while Wednesday’s activities are all about the best in the world, the Longboard Surfing Open has something for everyone. The event will have a lay-day on Thursday before firing up a three-day program for surfers of all ages and abilities. “There are a number of activities in and out of the water suitable for the entire family,” Sean said. “There are registrations at the beach on Friday with the surfing program opening with Fluro Friday. “Everyone can dress in fluro and come down and surf, swim, ride inflatable swans and do yoga. “This event is aimed at raising awareness for Headspace and mental health issues. “There will be amateur surfing, free surf movies for the family in the Lions Park, bring a chair or a blanket and refreshments will be available as well. “ On Saturday the event will feature a traditional paddle out to remember those no longer with us as well as amateur surfing. “We have wacky wave fancy dress, sponsors exhibitions, old boards on display, buskers, live music in the park,” he said. “While Sunday is finals day but there will be plenty of other things to see and do as well with a surf vehicle show and shine and

beach activities for the kids all culminating in the finals presentation at the Kingscliff Hotel.” This year’s line-up includes; Phil Rajzman, Brazil, current and dual World titleholder (2007 and 2016), French world number five Edouard Delpero, Australian Jared Neal (WR -13), Antoine Delpero from France (WR 13), Jack Entwistle (NSW WR 25) and Nic Jones (Qld, WR 25). Watch out for Kingscliff local Dean Bevan (Australasian Rating seven) will be tough to beat on his home break, Sydney’s Michael Cottier – the World’s Oldest Professional Surfer and NSW surfer Harley Ingelby dual World Titleholder from 2009 and 2014. There will also be a top field in the ladies events lead by current world champion Tory Gilkerson of the USA. Her main competition is expected to come from Hawaiian Honolua Blomfield the current world number five, fellow American Rachael Tilley who became the youngest Women’s World Longboard Champion in 2015, Japan’s Natsumi Taoka (WR – nine) and France’s Victoria Vergara (WR 13). However, they won’t have it all their own way with a top field of Australians – led by Kathryn Hughes of Queensland who is currently second on the Australasian Ratings and Western Australia’s Georgia Young, WA, (AR fourth)

Geoff MP responds to hospital crisis STATE MEMBER for Tweed Geoff Provest has hit back at claims the National Party is neglecting The Tweed Hospital crisis and says the Coalition is developing a four to five-year plan that will see a new green fields hospital site for Tweed. Speaking with The Weekly, Mr Provest also quashed rumours created by Health Services Union (HSU) that the National Party was considering a push for privatisation of The Tweed Hospital and other Tweed health services. HSU NSW Secretary Gerard Hayes said in a statement sent to media agencies that the State Government was already exploring options to privatise surgical services for public patients at the new Byron Hospital, and privatisation had “not been ruled out for the long-promised upgrade of The Tweed Hospital”. “Local politicians have had a lot to say about the Tweed Hospital, and why the promised upgrade hasn’t yet happened,” he said. “The people of Northern NSW deserve to know where their local MPs stand, and if they will fight to keep Tweed Hospital and other regional health facilities in public hands.” However, Mr Provest shot down claims by Mr Hayes for The Tweed Hospital and said the rumours were nothing but “false”. “That’s totally false from the HSU and this is something that has never been raised as a possibility,” he said. “We would not go down this route and this has never been on the table.”

Mr Provest wanted to stress he understood the needs of the health services for the Tweed through communicating with and working directly with doctors and hospital clinicians. “The clinicians have the best insight and knowledge to know where services are needed and it’s those people who are helping drive a push for improvements,” he said. “A new hospital for Tweed is the next cab off the rank for the government and there’s already been a $2 million investment in planning towards a new green fields site. “However, as this process towards a new hospital could take four to five years, there’s a need to address the clinicians needs in the interim with temporary structures likely to be provided to meet growing demands in the interim.” Mr Provest said there was a need to ensure any site selected for a new hospital included expansion options, accessibility for Tweed residents and able to meet the future demands of the rapidly growing Tweed population. In commenting on Shadow Opposition Leader Luke Foley’s visit, Mr Provest said he is in the Tweed every day and hearing the concerns of Tweed clinicians and residents. “It’s one thing to fly in from Sydney to have a look around The Tweed Hospital and say how bad it is, then fly back to Sydney,” he said. YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe the process towards investigating a new green fields hospital should be hastened? Send your thoughts and letters to editor@theweekly.net. au

Future uncertain for Tweed Legal Centre FEDERAL LABOR Member for Isaacs and Shadow Attorney General Mark Dreyfus visited Murwillumbah on Tuesday, March 14, to meet with members of the Northern Rivers Community Legal Centre and discuss their future. The legal centre, which currently assists about 200 clients across three Tweed sites, is facing possible closure as of July 1, following recently announced cutbacks to free legal aid services by the Federal Government. The Northern Rivers Community Centre will face cutbacks of around $177,000 from it’s annual budget which is a cut of 22 per cent. Mr Dreyfus said the crucial service needed to remain and even see increased support for what he said is a “vital service to people who need it most”. “There’s currently a push by the Turnbull Government to slash legal aid services and either close or severely reduce the number of staffing,” he said. Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot condemned the Turnbull Government’s move and said the devastating funding cuts of nearly $180,000 meant that from July 1 the Tweed office and its outreach services at Tweed Heads, Pottsville, and Murwillumbah will be forced to close. “Northern Rivers Legal Centre and its dedicated staff have

been helping our local community since 1996 and now their funding is going to be cut by 22 per cent which will seriously jeopardise its ability to operate,” Mrs Elliot said. “The Legal Centre provides free advice and services to individuals and groups in financial hardship, subject to unfair discrimination, victims of domestic violence, people losing their employment, separating families and many others who rely on these services to access justice. These are some of the most disadvantaged in our community. “I’m calling on the Turnbull Liberal National government to reverse these cruel cuts as a matter of urgency. Vulnerable people in our region are at risk, and I will continue to fight to have this funding restored.” Among those to meet with Mr Dreyfus were solicitors who assist hundreds of people across the shire, including providing a vital service to Indigenous people. “Services we provide to vulnerable people would cost thousands of dollars in the private sector - well outside the reach of many people,” Legal Service Coordinator Daniel Turner (Solicitor). Mr Turner also highlighted that there is already significant unmet demand for legal services. “In 2016-2016 Community Legal Centres turned away at least 160,000 people due to lack of capacity. And demand for legal services is only increasing across the Tweed Shire.”

Caba Youth needs a little help CABARITA YOUTH Service will again present the annual Momentum Youth Festival at Ambrose Brown Park, Pottsville Beach as part of National Youth Week on Saturday, April 1. The Youth Festival will feature four bands, open mic sessions, laser skirmish, photo booth and food stalls, other youth orientated activities and other ‘like’ service providers in attendance, such as Headspace and The Family Centre to highlight their important services and provide information and other activities for our local youth on this day. Momentum Youth Festival organisers are now inviting local businesses in the area to get on board and support not only this event but Cabarita Youth Service for ongoing activities and engagement in the community. Cabarita Youth Service Chairperson Nick Brabham said National Youth Week is an opportunity for young people to express their ideas, views, act on issues that affect their lives, and create and enjoy activities and events in their area. “However, this will also be a great opportunity for them to link or at least discover other services that young people may have not previously approached or knew existed in a very ‘cool’ environment,” he said. “Some great sponsorship opportunities are available including cash and goods in kind and we are excited to be offering your businesses the chance to get on board in supporting this event to continue to grow into a successful annual event on the Tweed event calendar.” Mr Brabham said all profits from the event will go to the Cabarita Youth Service to continue their work and enhance their services for young people.

Kingscliff High students stand against bullying KINGSCLIFF HIGH School students will take part in a stand against bullying to mark the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence on Friday, March 16. Year 7 and 8 students will mark the day’s theme, “Take a Stand Together”, by taking part in workshops and activities with student leaders and staff about bullying, cyberbullying, resilience, support networks, empathy, understanding and how to take action in safe and supportive ways. Principal Michael Hensley says there will be a strong emphasis on how to become an ‘Upstander’ – someone who will do something to prevent or call out bullying in a safe way, even if they are not directly involved themselves. “At Kingscliff High School we value the importance of a safe and supportive learning community for all of our students,” Mr Hensley said. “The best way to stop bullying is for all of us to speak up against it, to be an Upstander.” “The vast majority of our kids are fantastic who don’t like to see bullying happen. Our message is that if they are not OK with it, get with the strength and be an Upstander.” “This Friday is all about empowering them to be an Upstander safely.” Saige (pictured below) was asked to come up with a T-Shirt design for our Take a Stand Together Day at Kingscliff High School. He was given the Bullying No Way logo and asked to incorporate the word “Upstarted”.

UKI Bake Off

THE FIRST Uki Bake Off has been heralded a success by organisers and local bakers who are eager to share their goods at the next event. The Uki Bake Off was a gathering of local bakers who brought their best baked goods for tasting on Sunday, March 12, at the Uki Community Hall. For a small door fee entrants circled the room and sampled many of the delicious options. Event coordinator Kylie McCaffrey said the event attracted a crowd with more than 100 people through the door. “We had nearly 50 entries of food and drink and around 130 people through the door. The hall was buzzing,” she said. “Pat Miller and Ida Daley judged the competition. Loren and Sue provided live music for entertainment. And we would like to thank everyone for being involved.”

Pottsville gathering sees passionate views on Black Rocks DURING TONIGHT’S Tweed Shire Council ordinary meeting the future of the Pottsville and District Men’s Shed will be decided. So far there’s been indications that the shed will be approved at Black Rocks Sports Field following Reece Byrnes’ announcment that he will put forward a motion to approve the Men’s Shed, or a possible late amendment could raise the prospect of an alternative site as proposed by Mayor Katie Milne. One thing is certain, the issue has divided and exhausted the community of Pottsville who are now desparate for a solution to the issue. The latest event came from conservation groups who led a community picnic and gathering in Pottsville on Saturday, March 11, to voice their concerns for the future of the Tweed Coast Koala population and speak against plans to build the Men’s Shed at Black Rocks Sports Field. The gathering took place at Ambrose Brown Park in Pottsville from 11am to 1pm and attracted a crowd of more than 300 people coming and going throughout the day. Greens MLC Dawn Walker and Tweed Shire Council Mayor Katie Milne were speakers alongside several members of the Northern Rivers Guardians and Threatened Species Conservation Association. The focus was around the conservation of local koalas and

references to experts who agree the “Tweed Coast Koala is in serious risk of further decline”. Mayor Milne gave an impassioned speech and was reduced to tears over a recent encounter she had with a koala that had been killed on the side of the road. Mayor Milne was in tears while describing her journey to the council chambers to find the koala. “I’m having a bad week… two days ago while traveling to council I came across a dead koala on the side of the road,” she said. Mayor Milne explained the story as well as acknowledging the division being caused over the Pottsville & District Men’s Shed being located at the Black Rocks Sports Field. Mayor Milne said she had tried “to discuss the matter with Geoff Provest MP and the State Government”. “The State Government now has an application as to whether Council can purchase one of two private properties for the site to be built – be it would appear we may be too late.” Mayor Milne was referring to a Council meeting vote to be take on Thursday, March 16, which by early predictions appears to have the numbers. “Although the likelihood of getting approval for an alternative sit before the March meeting is extrenely unlikely. It will now be up to Men’s Shedders (Pottsville & District Men’s Shed) who have to make the decision.”

Shires’ top priorities TWEED SHIRE Council’s recent survey into the delivery of key services across the shire has highlighted the value of quality roads and water infrastructure to the Tweed community. Road services (including traffic, footpaths and cycleways) were rated a priority by almost two thirds of Tweed residents, followed by Water Supply and Parks and Gardens. The survey also measured community satisfaction with the delivery of 34 Council services and showed, on average, residents were ‘very satisfied’ with the services they used with an overall satisfaction rating of almost 85 per cent. Cemeteries, the Art Gallery and Aquatic Centres were among the top rating services in terms of satisfaction while Roads had the lowest satisfaction score of 67 per cent. Council’s General Manager Troy Green said almost 1700 responses to the survey were received from 82 different localities across Tweed Shire. Mr Green encouraged reidents to visit www.YourSayTweed.com.au/ttfio to see how the survey results have been incorporated into the Draft Community Strategic Plan 2017-2027

Correction on Black Rocks story THE WEEKLY would like to apologise for a story that appeared on page 6 of last week’s edition (March 9) that was incorrect. Editor Jonathon Howard made a mistake when he failed to check the date of a letter that was completely taken out of context. Tweed Shire Council General Manager Troy Green sent a letter to a Byron Bay newspaper in early 2016 which was last week re-posted to The Weekly via Facebook. Mr Green made no public statement for the article about Council’s role in koala conservation and did not make any comment on claims made by any groups. At all times during discussions about the Pottsville Men’s Shed, Tweed Shire Council has endeavoured to work constructively and impartially to achieve positive outcomes for the community and the environment. The editor failed to see the date of the letter and the comments made by Mr Green were taken out of context as they were written in May 2016 and the story had no foundation. Jonathon would like to give his apologies to Mr Green for the error as well as an apology to the Northern Rivers Guardians and the Threatened Species Conservation Society.

Recognition for St Ambrose Catholic Primary School design at Pottsville

THIS WEEK we catch up with architect David Twohill from Pat Twohill Designs to discuss the inspiration and story behind the St Ambrose Catholic Primary School at Pottsville. The building was recognised at the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2017 Gold Coast/Northern Rivers Regional Architecture Awards held on Saturday, March 4, on the Gold Coast. Pat Twohill Designs in association with Twohill and James was recognised with a Regional Commendation for the St Ambrose Primary School design. The Weekly spoke to David Twohill about the inspiration behind the school design and what considerations were made when designing learning spaces. “The school defers to its setting. Learning areas were imagined as outdoor rooms that encourage students to engage with nature,” Mr Twohill said. “When designing a school it is important to consider the constant and rapid changes in pedagogy (teaching). “Large open plan learning environments need to be balanced by smaller and more intimate spaces for individual reflection and as places to retreat. “It is also important to acknowledge the social aspect of education where the school needs to be planned to embellish a holistic approach to learning; both social and academic.” Mr Twohill the said St Ambrose School design was centred around the Diocese need to create open spaces with an emphasis on community. “St Ambrose Primary School was the first new school built by the Diocese of Lismore in 20 years,” he said. “The school was master planned as a three stage development; Stage 1 opened in 2015 and design work commenced immediately upon opening for stages 2 & 3 to be completed in late 2016.

“The design for St Ambrose Primary School attempts to address current and future shifts in pedagogy by creating a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces for learning with an emphasis on both areas for individuals/small groups and larger spaces for gathering. “The buildings are arranged around a central courtyard that establishes a school identity and sense of community. The courtyard encloses the principal territory for play and provides children with a protected area for social interactions. “The arrangement of buildings on the site captures an existing landscape of banksia trees that provide amenity in the form of shady areas for play, structure that informs occupation and social interactions and surrounds children and staff with the daily presence of nature. “The materiality of the buildings are expressive of a traditional weatherboard schoolhouse or coastal beach shack. “However, the buildings are institutional in scale and form. Colour is used selectively to highlight openings and edges to contribute to the legibility of the school by creating subtle differences across each building and to provide moments of discovery and delight to encourage creativity, exploration and interaction.” Mr Twohill said the feedback from parents has been extremely positive with parents and students enjoying the open nature of the learning environments encourage children to engage with the outdoors. He said the entry in the awards was a great way to share works with the general public and to give them a greater insight behind the design process. “It is important to share work and ideas with architects and the general public,” he said. “The Australian Institute of Architects Awards are a great platform that encourages architects to share and discuss their work and advance the profession.”

• Anne Besgrove received the Silver award • Kristie Hoffman received the Silver award Peter Reading said the First National GEM Awards are an important event as they encourage the agents to aspire to an ongoing process of performance improvement that benefits customers. “It is an amazing result for our office to be recognised as one of the Top 10 Sales Offices of the year,” he said. “We are competing against many large offices in cities all over QLD and for us to receive this demonstrates the passion and commitment the team at First National Murwillumbah have. “Last Thursday we were also bestowed with Rate My Agents “Top Agency in Murwillumbah” title, with our agent Sally Mather awarded the “Top Agent” in town. “Not only is it great to be recognised by the First National group for the fantastic work that our staff put in, but to receive two awards from independent companies really shows that all the staff and agents working at First National Murwillumbah are dedicated and passionate at what they do.”

Foreign investment targeted by state opposition to help first home buyers DURING A visit to The Tweed Hospital this week, State Opposition Leader Luke Foley fielded several questions from The Weekly over Tweed’s housing affordability and what he believes will give first home buyers a leg up. Mr Foley said he was committed to addressing the rising issue of housing affordability and acknowledged the problem was not just in the Tweed but across NSW. Mr Foley said his plan involved lifting surcharges for foreign investors on residential homes in order to dampen the pressure they exert on housing prices. “A Foley Labor Government will also strongly support the negative gearing changes proposed by Federal Labor to help young families buy their first home,” he said. Of the current Foreign Investor Surcharges, Labor will raise the Foreign Investor Stamp Duty Surcharge from 4 per cent to 7 per cent; and double the Land Tax Surcharge from 0.75 per cent to 1.5 per cent. The foreign investor decision is the latest in a suite of key policy measures to assist the many families who have found it harder than ever to buy their first home. It comes as the latest data shows the number of properties bought by foreign investors outstrips the number of first home buyers. Data from the Office of State Revenue

shows that in the three months from July to September 2016, foreign nationals accounted for 11 per cent – or 2,995 - of residential property purchases in NSW compared to 7.51 per cent by first home buyers. “This will put NSW in line with Victoria, reduce the pressures created by foreign investors in the market – and make room for First Home Buyers,” Mr Foley said. Mr Foley says this is a costed, practical and designed policy to help young struggling families – not subsidise well-heeled investors – locally and from overseas. “This policy is well thought through and costed – with one intention only – to make housing affordable in New South Wales. We’re levelling the playing field,” he said. “This is just the next stage of what will be a comprehensive and smart approach to housing affordability. “Evidence suggests a surcharge on foreign investors will take some pressure off house prices and go a way to levelling the playing field for first home buyers. “Under our policy local families will get a fairer crack of getting into the housing market.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe foreign investment in housing should be curbed or greater fees applied to foreigners investing in property? Send us your thoughts to editor@ theweekly.net.au or drop by the Queen Street office in Murwillumbah.

Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot MP, NSW Labor Leader Luke Foley MP and NSW Shadow Health Minister and Minister for the North Coast Walt Secord MP.

Acclaimed film Constance on the Edge screening at The Regent

FILMS th Mia wi

Manchester-by-the-Sea by Kenneth Lonergan (Margaret) is a drama revolving around the idea that life goes on even when it doesn’t seem worth living anymore. Lee Chandler, a lonely and taciturn handyman who works in an apartment block in Boston, is called back to his hometown Manchester-by-the-Sea and made the guardian of his 16-yearold nephew after the sudden death of his brother. Lee’s sadness about the loss of his brother and the anxiety about his ability to care for his nephew is compounded by the memory of a terrible past tragedy that is impossible to heal and that we learn of through flashbacks. The film is an ensemble drama and a character study at the same time, supporting the story of a how a person and the surrounding community choose to confront the past and its mistakes, and how they cope with the here and now, all of them stumbling forward one day at a time and discovering that the world does not slow down even in the face of terrible tragedy. The production of the film had been difficult, beginning when Matt Damon - who had originally been slated for directing and starring in the film – had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts. Casey Affleck was then chosen for the protagonist’s role, causing financial problems because Damon is much more bankable than Affleck. Who would have predicted that instead he would win an Academy Award for Best Actor..! The film also won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

MANCHESTER BY-THE-SEA

THE UKI Refugee Project & Pottsville Refugee Support Group are hosting a special fundraising screening of the new Australian documentary, Constance on the Edge, at the Regent Cinema in Murwillumbah on tonight. Filmed over 10 years in Wagga Wagga, the documentary is an unflinchingly honest portrayal of one refugee family’s resettlement story in regional Australia. Constance on the Edge follows charismatic Constance, mother of six, as she confronts her painful past in war torn Sudan, and risks everything in Australia so her family can thrive. “In Africa I was fighting for survival; in the refugee camp I was fighting for human rights; and here in Australia, I'm fighting for belonging.” Mary, Constance’s niece, finds it impossible to find a job. Vicky, her daughter, studies every morning from 4am, hoping to get into university. Charles, 23, is struggling with alienation and depression. Constance on the Edge premiered to a sold out audience at the Sydney Film Festival in June 2016 where it was voted second favorite documentary by the audience. In November it launched the Refugee Council of Australia’s first ever Refugee Film Festival in Melbourne. Director Belinda Mason says “it’s a film for everybody. People have said that film has made them more aware of the situation and experiences of refugees. It’s really helping to raise awareness – giving audiences a way in, beyond news and media reports that so often dehumanise refugees and make their experience ‘other’.” Impact Producer and Pottsville local Allison Henry is excited to be bringing the film to the Northern Rivers: “We know so many people in the Northern Rivers already support asylum seekers and refugees and will really relate to Constance and her family. We’re so pleased to be partnering with the Uki and Pottsville groups on this fundraising event to support their important work.” One of the key objectives of both the Uki and Pottsville refugee support groups is to raise community awareness of refugee issues, along with Constance on the Edge Pty Ltd ABN 55 602 323 286 info@constanceontheedge.com

providing direct support to refugees and asylum seekers and showing them that they are welcome by hosting home stay visits to our region. “This film directly addresses the real life difficulties and successes that refugee families experience in becoming part of the Australian community,” said Ian Hamilton from the Pottsville Refugee Support Group. Some audience responses: “Putting a human face on the refugee experience makes it real for me. Made me laugh and cry. I thought I understood – but now I feel respect for refugees.” “Makes me realise the challenges refugees face here – and how we can all play a part in welcoming them and creating change in our community.” Date: Thursday, March 16 Time: 6pm for 6.30pm start (bar open from 6pm) Venue: The Regent Cinema, 5 Brisbane Street Murwillumbah Tickets: $15 includes nibbles Bookings: www.trybooking.com/258805

THE LIFE and times of musical identity Nigel Steele-Boyce will be celebrated at The Ivory Tavern, Tweed Heads, on Monday, March 27, from 7pm. Nigel sadly passed away of Cancer on February 7 this year and his family and friends will gather to share fond memories and celebrate Nigel’s life. Nigel arrived on the Tweed Coast in 1981 after spending most of his life in Melbourne and having coming from England in 1956. Known fondly as The Scorpion, Nigel years on the Tweed and Gold Coast were filled with adventure, growth, love and music. Nigel started at Greenmount Surf Club as administrator which was his first job on the coast. Although his interests and achievements were many including sales and marketing, architecture and journalism and was a Melbourne Restaurateur. But his real passion was music and in 1984 Nigel and his good friend Jeff Stratton reignited his musical aspirations with the jazz & blues band “Biggles Smith”. In 1986 Nigel formed the rock cover band

ACCLAIMED AUSTRALIAN music theatre performer and actor Belinda Wollaston will visit the beautiful little town of Tyalgum on Sunday, March 19, and she’s bringing a slice of London’s West End with the hit play on Judy Garland’s life. For one night only, Belinda will present at the Tyalgum Hall in the Tweed Valley on Saturday March 18th and then at The Hayes Theatre on Sunday March 19th at 7 30pm, a cabaret show based around the songs of Judy Garland. Belinda will tell stories of the show, stories of the remarkable Garland and how the show has affected her life in an intimate stripped back cabaret setting. Hearts Aflame Productions manager Solar Chapel said: “We are so thrilled to welcome Belinda to Tyalgum for the first time during this very exciting moment in her career.” “Belinda is one of the great Australian talents we have abroad, and we here have been wanting her to perform at Tyalgum for some time now” he said. A recent London review of Belinda’s work summed it up in saying… “I’d die happy if I could press Belinda Wollaston’s voice to brand new vinyl, lie back in an empty room, and play it loudly on a loop for the rest of my life”… Presented by Lambert House Enterprises and Hearts Aflame Productions in association with The Hayes Theatre Co, and under the musical direction of Andrew

Welcome back Spiros Rantos THE NORTHERN RIVERS Symphony Orchestra (NRSO) welcomes back Spiros Rantos to conduct ‘Musical Treasures’, a wonderfully rich and diverse program including works by Berlioz, Elgar, Schubert and more to be held on Sunday, March 26, 2.30pm NSW time (1.30pm QLD time) at the Tweed Heads Civic Centre, Brett St, Tweed Heads. We took this opportunity to get to know one of our core cello players, Helen Dolden and ask her to tell us a little about herself Q - What started you playing the Cello? HD - At my secondary school we all had to learn a musical instrument in our first year. The cello teacher took one look at my spadelike hands and said, ‘You’re a cellist. I’ll have you.’ Q - Do you play any other instruments? HD - I play the piano incredibly badly and I played all the recorder family at primary school. My recorder group won every eisteddfod and our dear music teacher cried when we left! I learned the violin for a year when I was ten and was still trying to fix my fiddle player’s left hand 50 years later. Slow learner? Q - Are you a professional cellist or do you have work outside music? HD - I have no music qualifications, and have never played professionally. I stopped playing after a year at Conservatorium, worked as a journalist and public servant, and took up the cello again when I retired. It was then that I really discovered the joy and challenge of cello playing, and soon

after retiring I was playing for over 20 hours a week in orchestras, chamber groups and private practice. Q - When and how did you come to play with the NRSO and do you play in any other groups? HD - I joined the NRSO about 10 years ago through a friend in the Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO). I’ve played with the BPO for 11 years, the last five as principal cellist. I have also played with the Gold Coast Chamber Orchestra since it started. Q - Could you name one of your favourite orchestral pieces? HD - Only one? Mahler 5, Shostakovich 5, Sibelius 2….. Q - Is there one performance with the NRSO that stands out for you? HD - Far and away the one we did with Nathan Aspinall, a super young conductor from Brisbane, now furthering his career in the US. We did the Tchaikovsky 5 and the Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner’s ‘Tristan and Isolde’ complete with singer. Q - One last question Helen, what do you enjoy doing outside of music? HD - I adore what I call ‘wild’ gardening. We live on a small acreage with a lot of natural bushland, and I plant madly..... anything that will benefit our teeming wildlife. I can spend hours and hours in art galleries and I enjoy painting on glass (window panes etc): I get drunk on colour. I love tramping in wild country (especially when there’s a coffee shop at the end of the track) and wish I weren’t getting older!

Local sounds with Chantal Waters

HEY ALL, welcome to this week’s Local Sounds. Guess what, last week we celebrated International Women’s Day. I didn’t hear much about it, did you? So let’s ask the question - what’s it like to be a woman in a band or in business? As a small business owner and performer, I have struggled repeatedly to be heard in an industry where women are treated as second class citizens. I have had to stand up and shout to the world that I am serious about the business and that I have experience in the industry. It’s like when women go to buy a car and know nothing about motors, they get sucked in and end up paying way more than they would if they were men. Ok so I don’t know everything about certain instruments or sound equipment, but I am learning as I go which is no different to anyone else. But I am a woman and I have worked hard to get noticed by professionals. I spoke to a lady who was sacked by a band last week. She had been playing and touring in the band for over six months, had gone out and bought the equipment she needed,

only to be told that she was no longer required because she was the wrong sex for this particular band. It didn’t have anything to do with the fact that she is an amazing multi-instrumentalist that any band would be proud of. So what can we do to change this mind set? Keep knocking on the door? Keep flashing our you know what’s? To be recognised as an equal in any field of our choosing is surely a woman’s goal. As women we have multitasking duties most of the time and still are very capable of producing great works of art and culture. Decades have gone by with much talk of equality for women. However, there seems on the ground, little evidence of this occurring. Sure there is progress in the corporate world and other fields but as the music industry is one of the biggest industries generating millions of dollars in our country alone, women are still struggling to gain a foothold. There is great scope for us all to develop our talents wherever they lay, so let’s make a difference in the world and don’t let others tell you otherwise.

30 NRL Tipping Competition Thursday March 16 - 2017 By Damien Quinn ANOTHER RIPPER weekend of footy. The Cowboys and the Broncos just keep producing the goods. 4/5 matches have gone to Golden point and they are just enthralling contests which I love to watch. The great JT did it again and we have come to expect it – yet he did drop one very simple ball in the game so he is human. Any aspiring footballers out there could do worse than to watch him off the ball and how he competes and is active and moving on every single play. I do think his idea of one point each and a bonus point to those who win the contest in Golden Point has some merit as it does seem harsh that a team goes 80 mins and draws and then ends up with zero. The Panthers roared back into form and the poor old Tigers copped the brunt of it.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals for the team who gives up the extra home game. Another example of how Tv and the dollar rule our game. Plenty of good contests this weekend also in round three none better than Broncos Melbourne and the return of the mercurial Billy Slater. I hope he gets through injury free. Penrith v Roosters will be a beauty as well and the Raiders will need to get off the bottom of the ladder against the Tigers. The Mustangs went down to a physical and fast Grafton Ghosts side on Saturday day in what was a great day of footy at Stan Sercombe. The Stangs take on Ballina in a trial this weekend before the comp kicks off with a home game against Casino on April 2. Until next week, enjoy the footy and happy tipping, Quinny.

They were fast, efficient and energetic and the halves look to have a massive future. The feel good story was the Knights. First win in 19 starts and everyone was happy for them. Great story about Nathan Ross the two try hero who quit his $125,000 a year job in the mines to have a crack at his dream as he felt he couldn’t tell his son to chase his dreams if he didn’t. Awesome stuff Rossdog! I have grave concerns about the Titans – I do hope they prove me wrong but there is some real worrying signs and I know they lost troops on the weekend and injuries will effect them this week but Neil Henry has his work cut out that’s for sure. The news about the North Sydney Bears circling probably won’t help either. Melbourne have been given an Origin match next year and I do think this is a great idea but makes it hard

SOME GOOD sized Tailor, around 1kg, being caught along the Kingscliff beaches and plenty of Mangrove Jack around the bridges, jetties etc. and around Jack Evans Boat Harbour. Jewfish along the rock walls, being caught on live and dead baits. There are plenty of Mackerel offshore, especially around the close reefs, but the swell has been too big for most. When you can get out after them, use lures of differing swim depths to ensure the best coverage and improve your success rate. Kingfish and Squire are also waiting for you… The swell has pushed some schools of bait fish up the river and they’ve been enjoyed by Whiting and Jewfish which, in turn, have been enjoyed by many fishos! Super specials on Tohatsu outboard motors – the only Japanese made motors. Two stroke 9.8hp only $1,799 and 18hp only $1,999. Savings of about $300 each. See them in store at Tweed Tackle & Marine.

Featured Business

I (Russell) have been in the paving business for just over 25 years. Enjoying it so much, and knowing this will be my career path for many many years to come, I decided to establish my own business in country Victoria 15 years ago. Whilst doing just before some irrigation work in between, which I incorporated into my business at the time. Then deciding to move along with my wife, son and two daughters further north of Victoria and New South Wales border, where my business thrived for over 5 years. But looking for a sea change, I moved with my family to the beautiful Tweed valley over 5 years ago and where my parents have lived for over 30 years. At first I changed careers and did some tiling and labouring work for a time, but my passion still remained for paving. Recently I started up my own business calling it ‘Border Brick Paving’ and yes enjoying it immensely. My first aim is to provide good customer service and engage in constructive discussion to achieve the most satisfactory outcome and for my customers to receive the best quality of work that they deserve. The best aspect about paving to me is seeing the finished product, which then gives me a sense of fulfilment and achievement. You will find my ad under paving as Border Brick Paving with all my details. Thank you for reading my story, Russell

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

Ph: 0477 125 106

Gary’s Complete Mowing

A sacriﬁcial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efﬁciently working system and a costly replacement. Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion. THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE SOLAR, ELECTRIC, GAS OR HEAT PUMPS FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in the Tweed & Gold Coast area FREE OF CHARGE. “REMEMBER YOU CAN’T LOSE, NO ANODE REPLACEMENT NO CHARGE” Comes with a 5 year warranty ~ Make your Hot Water System last for 30 years!

TWO WOMEN and a child were allegedly threatened at knife point by a man inside a Kingscliff home on Thursday, March 9, with the Queensland Police helicopter and dog squad helping to track him down. Tweed Police said they were called to a home on Oxford Street, Kingscliff after one of the women called Triple 0 and reported they were trapped in a bathroom by a man allegedly threatening them with a butchers knife in a domestic violence-related incident. The man had already left the home when police arrived. His car was found in nearby Cambridge Street and a perimeter was established around a home there. A Queensland Police helicopter (PolAir) was requested to assist and a short time later crew members saw a man climbing out a window and hiding in the backyard. A Queensland Police dog unit was then deployed to the yard and the man was arrested without further incident. Two women, aged 28 and 21, and the older woman’s 11-year-old daughter were not physically injured but were reported to be distressed and shaken by the incident. The man was taken to Tweed Heads Police Station

to assist police with their investigations. Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au/

Mustang found in Wooyung connected to missing man

QUEENSLAND POLICE are appealing for the Tweed public to be on the lookout for 22-year-old man Samuel Thompson, who was reported missing from Albion (Brisbane). Samuel’s orange Ford Mustang was found in Wooyung on Thursday, March 9, and he was last seen in Albion on Tuesday morning, March 7, and has not made contact with family or friends since. Police hold grave concerns for Samuel’s welfare as “his behaviour is out of character”. Samuel (pictured) is described as Caucasian, 180cm tall with a slim build, brown hair and brown eyes. He drives a 2016 Ford Mustang that is burnt orange in colour and bears Queensland registration SAMMO (pictured). Police would like to speak with anyone with any information in relation to Samuel’s whereabouts as well as anyone who may have seen the pictured vehicle between Tuesday morning and yesterday morning. If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using the online form 24hrs per day. You can report information about crime anonymously to Crime Stoppers, a registered charity and community volunteer organisation, by calling 1800 333 000 or via crimestoppersqld.com.au 24hrs per day.

On resuming play, Keevers and co kept the pressure on their opposition and were in front 20-6 coming into the 13th end. Ah, but how things can change. A brilliant fight back from team Glasby kept team Keevers scoreless over the next five ends as they, themselves, produced 12 shots to reduce their deficit to be 20-18 down with four ends to go. In a thrilling photo finish, team Keevers scored a single and a two on the next two ends with team Glasby then picking up a single and a four on the last two ends to level the score at 23-23, forcing an extra end to decide the winners.

In a nerve wracking decider, team Keevers was able to score that one precious shot to get them over the line and claim victory. Congratulations to both teams on a super well played final. T.B.D.B.A. Championship Pairs are now underway with a break this week. Games will resume again on March 26 at all venues with finals in all categories set to be played on April 2 at Ocean Shores. Zone One Schipp Shield and Compass Shield competitions will be conducted at Yamba on Sunday, March 19. Last, but not least Cudgen’s Tommy Grimes is in the limelight again. Not satisfied with his recent successful death defying leap from a plane and landing unscathed, Tommy tried for a 20cm free fall from the bank down to the green last week and scored two fractured ribs for his effort. Stick to sky diving Tommy, it’s much safer! Best wishes for a speedy recovery, mate. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

YOUTH LEAGUE (11-16 YEARS)

Last Wednesday we trialled a new format due to the increasing number of juniors joining us. From 4pm, 24 juniors were put through a solid but fun 60 minute training session with coach Aaron. This session is designed to teach our juniors the basics of basketball. Pleasing to see was not only newcomers, but our more experienced players also willing to join in. No-one is above coaching! Whether you’re just starting basketball or a seasoned NBA player like Steph Curry, everyone needs to practice and train. It’s also fantastic to see so many girls joining us. From 5pm we ran Youth League games. Those who felt comfortable playing in a game format, joined in. Coach Cameron, our hulking Texan, also joined us to assist with coaching and refereeing. One of the highlights was the final second of the last game. With scores locked at 18 all, and a timeout called, what ensued from the restart was the quality of basketball these kids have learnt from our program that made all of us proud, coaches, players and especially parents. It was a great way to finish and something these kids will recreate every chance they get. What is very exciting for us is to see 3 of our Aussie Hoops graduates having now stepped up to Youth League!!! Tobias, Owen and Holly, fantastic job! We are all proud of you.

Grace Young starting to find their feet. Goal scorers for Casuarina were Tara Fitzpatrick, Brooke Hawkey and Keely Murray. The other women’s game saw the new team on the block Mullumbimby equip themselves well but their timing was a bit off. This let Murwillumbah get the better and saw Karen Iwanuscha and Carly Manning score in the first half and in the final quarter it was Melissa Johnston who pounced on a loose ball to score. 16-year-old Madison Scholes made her first grade debut and came from scoring twice.

Long

or SHORT

all Surfing Around the Tweed

Tapped in to the waves with Terry ‘Tappa’ Teece

Well whether you have a love of shortboards or longboards, or a love of all your needs will have to be satisfied this week. With the Quiksilver Pro waiting period underway, and expecting a start with a swell increase and best conditions from Friday, the world’s best will light up Snapper Rocks. At Kingcliff it is the Australian Longboard Open, with competition started on Wednesday and running through until Sunday. Action a plenty to be had…. Especially with the forecast big swell to arrive late in the week. Conditions Looking Good for Quiksilver and Roxy Pro’s Well Einstein’s equation of surf (if he had one) – would be bad weather –therefore = good surf… Well the bad weather is in the house and the swell is on the way, with Friday through to Sunday predicted to have southerly winds and around two metres of swell perfect for Snapper Rocks. If it is pumping it will be great to watch as the bank is superb from the swell last week, and the pro’s must be wrapped… With pumping conditions, and take-offs from behind the rock, you cant look past the local talent and the more experienced surfers to dominate. Slater is amped and keen to perform, saying he is the best physical condition for

years, Mick Fanning and Parko are primed and ready to fire, and those old heads would be the guys I would expect to dominate if the waves are pumping, with Steph Gilmore the girl to beat at her home break…. Looks like some great surfing to watch and some waves at the local breaks as well. Might I say the wave drought is over? Longboard Heaven at Kingscliff Well head down to Kingscliff this week and weekend to see the World’s best longboarders doing their thing. Both the Men’s and women’s World Champions, Brazilian Phil Rajzman and American Tory Gilkerson will be competing plus a red hot field from Australia and overseas. It will be a layday on Thursday, before the action restarts with “Fluor Friday”. Over the weekend there will be free entertainment and surf movies in the park, plus Sunday will see a big “Show and Shine” event with the coolest cars there for all to see, plus some of the best longboard surfing, and some fun events all the family can participate in. Snapper Rules – and has a Heart Too Well Snapper Rocks created history with their win in the 33rd Kirra Teams Challenge. This was the 3rd year in a row they had won the event, and the third time they had achieved this feat in the 33 year history of the event.

Snapper had 6 heat wins a second place and a third place to sit alone on the ratings. They are the number one boardriders club in the history of the sport. What did bring a tear to the eye, was when Snapper won, they immediately donated their $5,000 first prize to the “Rally 4 Ryder”, former Snapper member Jye Boyce’s young son, Ryder, has been diagnosed with lukemia, and that weekend a huge fundraiser was held, and Snapper dropped their winning straight in… Awesome stuff…
