Alarming whooping cough cases on the rise

Read Health District’s response The Weekly put several questions to the Northern NSW Local Health District media team and Greg Bell, Acting Director Public Health Unit, Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) provided the following responses. “In the past seven days 13 confirmed cases of whooping cough amongst people residing in the Northern NSW Local Health District were reported to the North Coast Public Health Unit, with 40 reported in the last 28 days,” Mr Bell said. “Over the same 28 day period last year 48 cases were reported. “Notifications of whooping cough represent only a portion of disease in the community, as only people who see their doctor and have the infection confirmed by a positive whooping cough test are counted by NSW Health as confirmed cases. “The majority of these recent confirmed cases are in the upper primary school age group and reside in the northern sector of the Local Health District. “Whooping cough is challenging to control at the community level, as it is a highly infectious disease and immunity against whooping cough wanes over time, regardless of whether that immunity is from having the disease or as a result of vaccination.” Mr Bell said the waning of immunity

results in the build-up of the number of people susceptible to whooping cough and this can cause periodic spikes or larger outbreaks of the disease. “The size of outbreaks is affected by the vaccination coverage in communities, with areas of low vaccination coverage having many more cases than comparably sized communities with higher vaccination coverage,” Mr Bell said. Whooping cough vaccination is valuable in preventing severe infection in infants and toddlers, and if unvaccinated children are infected they are at high risk of severe disease. “Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) continues to work towards increasing immunisation rates in the Northern Rivers area. “The Public Health Unit is encouraged by recent statistics that show an increase in the overall numbers of children who are fully vaccinated on the North Coast. “The North Coast Public Health Unit has a joint plan with North Coast Primary Health Network to optimise uptake of vaccination through general practice and Aboriginal Medical Services and to inform their local communities of the safety and benefits of vaccination.” Mr Bell said research is being undertaken by experts from the University of Sydney and the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance to understand parents who choose not to vaccinate their children and how best to communicate with them. This year, the Save the Date to Vaccinate campaign had a particular focus on the North Coast of NSW with additional community-based advertising to promote on-time vaccination. “Since 2013 NSW Health has committed $5.5million to the Save the Date to Vaccinate campaign to provide parents with key messages about the importance of timely vaccination,” Mr Bell said. “Over the past four years, NSW Health has invested $1.3M across the state to increase the number of Aboriginal Immunisation Health Workers in each Local Health District, helping to close the gap in immunisation coverage between Aboriginal and nonAboriginal children. “The results show that Aboriginal children living in the Northern Rivers now have higher immunisation rates than non-Aboriginal children in all age groups.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe that certain vaccinations such as whooping cough should be compulsory in the Northern Rivers?

for that. Secondly if you get a positive result you have to remain quarantined for seven days which can have a huge impact on families financially and socially. “Third you have to take a course of antibiotics that don’t make you better (perhaps shortens the time you are sick) this is to make you non-contagious, without antibiotics you are contagious for three weeks. “The cough can then go on to last three months, it’s also known as the 100-day cough.” Whooping cough symptoms usually start with a runny nose and slight fever with the incubation period being seven to ten days, then starts the cough and in some cases you would never associate it with whooping cough but it remains persistent. “We really need the community to be on high alert for any of the signs and get kids or themselves tested quickly so we can really make a dent in the spread,” the mother said. This year there were 79 cases of whooping cough confirmed during the month of April alone in the Northern NSW Local Health District, according to statistics from the NSW Department of Health. In 2016 this number was 77, in 2015 it was eight, three in 2014 and four cases in 2013.

WHOOPING COUGH numbers have spiked across the Tweed Shire according to a source from the Murwillumbah Hospital, who has urged parents to get their children vaccinated. The Weekly received an email from a local mother last week who said she wanted to give the community a “heads up that we seem to be having a rather rampant outbreak of whooping cough across the shire”. “My son was diagnosed positive with whooping cough and my other two went on to get it and I myself am currently in isolation awaiting a test result as I now have symptoms,” she said. “There are many upset parents out there that are having to deal with sick children, I’d say I know of more than 20 cases which to me seems on the verge of an epidemic. “I believe there is still a complete misunderstanding amongst people of how vaccines work and the term “herd immunity”. The concerned mother pointed out that the Northern Rivers has dangerously low vaccination rates in children which she believes are as low as 52 per cent in Mullumbimby. “I think it would be really useful to have an article reporting the facts, especially what to do if your child is sick,” she told The Weekly. The whooping cough vaccination gives about 85 per cent cover. When the majority of the population are vaccinatated up to the 95 per cent recommended for herd immunity the disease almost disappears. All persons who have received a course of diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough vaccine as a baby (usually given at 6-8 weeks, 4 months and 6 months of age) require booster doses at 4 years, 12 years (in the NSW School Vaccination Program) and 50 years of age. Adults aged over 65 require a booster dose if ten years have passed since their last dose. According to NSW Health whooping cough epidemics can occur every three to four years, but in vaccinated populations the outbreaks are smaller. “The issue then is with those who have been vaccinated, the good news for them is they get a much less harmful dose, the bad news is it can go undiagnosed as just a cold and the kids continue to go to school and day care and whammo it spreads like crazy,” she said. “It then gets even more infuriating for parents who have done what they thought was right in the first place it is now once again up to them to stop the spread. “Firstly, they have to have a nasal swab, very unpleasant and I can vouch

Councillor lies and political games C r P o l g l a s e a n d O w e n ’s misleading public statements last week is nothing but a sham and scaremongering - perhaps a political point-scoring exercise. That Cr Owens made such claims on radio that our shire will run out of water in 10 years and have to buy water from the Gold Coast are indeed contrary to the documented facts that Council has resolved to proceed with the planning processes and land acquisitions for the raising of the Clarrie Hall dam wall to secure our long term water supply well beyond the 10yr period and is currently underway. Their statements re Councils legal services is a real deception of the documented facts. The vast majority of current legal matters in progress are due to unauthorised works, recommended refusals due to non-compliance with regulations and advice on significant matters effecting our Shire. A number of current legal matters in progress were put in train by the previous Council and in fact were moved by Cr Polglase or he was party to a unanimous vote to commence legal proceedings. Under the current Council both Cr Polglase and Owen have been party to a unanimous vote to commence legal proceedings on a number of matters. It is very important to the good people of our shire that there is adherence to the laws/legislation/ regulations for the health and wellbeing of our human communities and sustainability our environment and natural resources that benefit all. And at the very least the elected representatives of our shire make responsible/truthful/factual statements in the interests of the integrity of Council and our Shire.

Disagree with Dr Scherrer’s comments The arguments made by Dr Scherrer are too general in nature to be considered as offering readers an experts views of what is needed to allow locals to understand all the aspects of the problem. Personally I am unconvinced of any need to forbid climbing of Mt. Warning. As he says, there is investment in this activity but I doubt it is excessive; there is a quite varied tourist experience in the Tweed Shire given the limited area. Dr Scherrer seems to see the Shire as needing to find other ventures, which may be required but not necessarily by banning one which exists. Dr Scherrer refers to death of a climber in 2016. Of course there is some danger but this is what attracts some climbers and could be lessened by more supervision from local authorities. There is danger in crossing the street. Certainly the matter should be decided by the whole local community and not by our masters in the Department of Environment but the situation now existing can reasonably be left alone. Ken Burley, Tweed

Water is only safe when you are watching. Distractions like answering the phone, attending to another child or going inside briefly to grab something can have absolutely tragic consequences if a toddler is left unattended by water. An average of 31 children tragically drown every year. For every toddler drowning death, approximately 10 children are admitted to hospital as a result of non-fatal drowning. Drowning is preventable. We ask all readers to follow the four Keep Watch key actions to prevent toddler drowning; always actively supervise all children around water, regularly check and maintain your pool fence and gate, teach children water awareness, and learn CPR. One recent study showed that in 62 per cent of cases, the child had gained access to the pool area through a faulty fence or gate or through a gate that had been deliberately propped open. We stress to readers the importance of regularly checking and maintaining their pool fence and gate to ensure it’s in working order. We ask all parents to take every precaution when it comes to their child’s safety around water. Readers can obtain tips and resources at keepwatch.com.au. I wish all readers a happy and safe summer.

Don’t underestimate danger of asbestos Au s s i e s a re b e s o t t e d w i t h renovating. We’re infatuated with DIY lifestyle programs and the

plethora of decorator products designed to excite the renovator in us. But what happens when we ignore the risks and don’t take the warnings about asbestos seriously? We could be risking our lives and the lives of our loved ones if deadly asbestos fibres are inhaled. Asbestos-related diseases are not a thing of the past. Every 14 hours, one Australian loses their life to mesothelioma. Every 13 hours another 13 families receive the tragic news that a loved one has the disease that will take their life, usually within months. All too often I’ve heard people say that they don’t worry about the warnings, that they don’t think it will affect them, that they’re bulletproof when it comes to asbestos. Well, with one-in-every-three homes containing asbestos in some form or another, homeowners and tradies could be risking their lives and the lives of families (even their kids) if they don’t take the warnings seriously. Asbestos could be lurking in any home built or renovated before 1987 including brick, weatherboard, clad and fibro homes. Asbestos was used in the manufacture of hundreds of products and if these products are disturbed during renovations, that’s when fibres can be inhaled and can kill. Death from asbestos is not a thing of the past. While we don’t know how many fibres it takes, what we do know is that the more fibres inhaled, the greater the risk to our health. Today, asbestos remains one of the greatest health threats to families and tradespeople who disturb asbestos during renovations

and maintenance. We must stop the ongoing tragic loss of Australian lives. Every Australian needs to know that when it comes to asbestos, they’ve got to go slow, because asbestos is a NO GO!

Thanks for Adani story We were on a trip to the NSW Northern Rivers and across your local newspaper and a story about the Adani Coal Mine (TVW September 26). We were shocked at the damage this mine will cause. Listening to the waffling and lies told by the pollies of all persuasions the general public does not concern itself thinking “it will be ok”. Like the average person I half listened to pollies of both sides waffling on about Adani but was unconcerned who told the better lies. Now I am concerned about the eventual destruction of Australia and Queensland assets by foreign powers who simply walk away when their carefully planned agenda is finished. The facts and figures in this great informative newspapers speak for themselves. E Simpson, Southport

Keep watch this summer Royal Life Saving’s latest campaign - “Keep Watch” - urges all parents not to be complacent about their child’s safety around water. Our latest research shows that 461 children under the age of 5 have died in Australia over the past 15 years due to drowning. Of these, half the drownings were in home pools or spas. In 100 per cent of child drowning cases in home swimming pools, active adult supervision had either lapsed or was entirely absent.

Water extraction and power prices on Council’s agenda Tweed estuary confirmed TWEED SHIRE Councillors voted safe following E. Coli scare on a range of hot topics for the Shire during their November Ordinary Meeting on Thursday, November 16.

Commercial water bottling

Commercial water bottling facilities located on rural land (RU2) within the Tweed Shire may be rezoned following a motion put forward by Mayor Katie Milne and Cr Chris Cherry to remove a clause from the Tweed Local Environmental Plan (LEP) that allowed for the “blanket permissibility” of water bottling facilities. The LEP clause means that water bottling facilities can currently be constructed on RU2 zoned land with approval from Council. According to Council officers the amendment to the LEP “has the potential to impact on the commercial expectations, forecasts, viability and business modelling of several current and potentially new enterprises” and “as such it is reasonably foreseeable that one or more legal challenges may be mounted by the landowners and on various grounds. Council staff will investigate the number of current water bottling facilities within the Tweed and those seeking approval. The matter will be determined at Council’s December Planning Committee meeting.

Artificial surf reef workshop

Councillors will attend a workshop to help them decide whether to support a prototype artificial surf reef at Kingscliff following a motion from Cr James Owen.

At their July 20 meeting councillors voted not to provide support for the artificial surf reef due to an estimated cost of $100,000 not being appropriate following the Tweed flood. Offshore Surf Reefs owner Steve Barrett and surfing legend Wayne Bartholomew had approached Council earlier this year with a proposal to partner in a Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) grant application to develop the artificial reef at Dreamtime Beach.

Power prices higher in Tweed

Cr Reece Byrnes and Cr Katie Milne moved that Council writes to NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, State Member for Lismore Thomas George and State Member for Tweed Geoff Provest to ask why regional areas such as the Tweed are paying more for their electricity supply compared to major cities. An amendment to the motion was put forward by Cr James Owen and Cr Reece Byrnes that Council instead requests a briefing from relevant NSW Government agencies on current policies, programs and assistance available to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and to ease the cost of living pressure on households. The amendment was carried with Cr Katie Milne, Cr Chris Cherry and Cr Reece Byrnes voting against.

Petitions for flood impacts

Council received two petitions from Crabbes Creek and Burringbar residents asking for help to manage the impacts of flooding in their small villages. The Burringbar petition which

contained 50 signatures expressed concern over the “serious condition” of Harwood Road. “All of the residents living on this road are in favour of the Council sealing it with bitumen to stop the damage done after flooding which occurs regularly here,” the petition reads. “The council come at least twice a year to resurface it, but after another heavy downpour the topdressing on the road just washes away again and causes more erosion, pot holes and corrugation. “It is also very slippery, and when driving down the steep incline on the way to our houses, causes our vehicles to slip and slide and we are terrified of having an accident.” The second petition asked for Council’s help to deal with flooding in the small community of Crabbes Creek who said that due to their position at the end of the Tweed Shire they are often “overlooked”. The 196-signature petition called for clearing of three outlets on Tweed Valley Way to help prevent flooding. “Secondly there are four causeways along Crabbes Creek Road that need a major clean out and perhaps a regular maintenance program to help with the flow and quick exit of water, with some of the causeways needing fixing and better piping,” the petition reads. Drainage within the township was another issue raised by the petitioners who said piping needs to be improved to prevent the sports field and entrance to Crabbes Creek from flooding. “These issues are very large to deal with but they need to be addressed to improve the towns safety during heavy rain and flooding times,” the petition reads.

Map showing discharge point and the area possibly affected by increased E. Coli levels

THE TWEED estuary has been declared as safe to swim in once again after Tweed Shire Council tests confirmed there was no risk posed to waterway users. Tests conducted on Thursday, November 16 in Terranora Broadwater, Cobaki Broadwater and Terranora Creek showed for the third day in succession that levels of thermotolerant (faecal) coliforms in the Tweed estuary were normal. “The water quality in the estuary has returned to normal and recreational users of the waterway can safely resume their swimming and boating activities,” said Director Engineering David Oxenham. “We also have brought the final effluent lagoon at the Wastewater Treatment Plant back online after retreating its contents following the initial contamination of the lagoon by raw sewerage.” Council added that it would like to thank the public for its co-operation during this event. A warning had been issued to avoid swimming at Terranora Inlet following an incident at the Banora Point Wastewater Treatment Plant last Tuesday, November 14 that resulted in a diluted sewage spill. A large volume of raw wastewater had bypassed from the inlet works of the plant to the final holding lagoon within the plant without treatment. In this holding lagoon the wastewater was diluted with treated wastewater, a portion of which was then discharged into the Inlet. The affected area was located above Boyds Bay Bridge, resulting in oyster harvesting in the Terranora Inlet being postponed for at least a fortnight.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! A legal audit would be good for your business We go to the doctor when we are sick, to the dentist when we have a toothache, and call in the plumber when pipes get blocked. But as every one of these experts will tell you – if only you had sought help earlier, before the problem got too big, it would have been much better for you. And less costly. It’s the same with your business and legal affairs. Prevention is far better than cure. We have medical check-ups to head off the worst of our health problems. It is just as important to get expert advice on the legal health of your finances and business affairs. “Laws change all the time. Interpretations of old laws get updated. Court judgements on the other side of the country can change the way business is conducted. This means that the way you set up your business and financial affairs all those years ago might not put you in the best position to meet the dangers and pitfalls in the law as it stands today,” said Tony Mitchell, commercial lawyer with Stacks Law Firm. “I have had people come into my office facing legal problems with their business as the law had changed and they weren’t aware of how it would impact on their business or the way they conducted their financial affairs. “The law is an ongoing, ever changing influence on our business lives, and the day to day demands of running a business can leave you with little time or energy to consider whether your underlying business structures are sound.” Mr Mitchell said it would be wise to get a legal audit of your business that is designed to diagnose, treat and avoid potential legal problems before they arise. Such an audit can minimise risks associated with your business and add value to it for the future. “A business legal audit can identify any areas of noncompliance and avoid risk of liability and costly legal proceedings. It examines whether the structure of the business is effective for tax and estate planning purposes. “One of the most overlooked matters is whether your assets and those of your family, such as your home, are protected from the risks arising from your business. Succession planning is also vital to protect assets. Is your intellectual property protected? Do the contracts you enter into protect your business? Are you complying with all statutory employment requirements? The fines can be severe.”

Changes to Casuarina Town Centre on exhibition

FURTHER CHANGES to the highly debated Casuarina Town Centre plans are now on public exhibition with the Department of Planning & Environment and will be open for comment until December 1. The tenth modification to the original Concept Plan approved in 2009 includes reinstatement of a 20-metre green buffer, an updated stormwater management plan, an additional 26 extra parking spaces and changes to the number and size of housing lots from 177 to 93. In a round of public exhibition held last year there were 104 submissions of which 93 objected to the plans. The northern buffer was one of the major concerns raised by Council and the community during public exhibition, where the developer had planned to reduce the size of the northern buffer. The original town centre approval included a 36-metre swale, however under subsequent modifications to the Concept Plan and discussions with Tweed Shire Council the swale was reduced to 20 metres, and the developer was approved to use piping to provide stormwater drainage from the site. In their previous modification request (Mod 9) the developer had also planned

to locate a road within the buffer which reduced its size to eight metres. In the new plans the road is now located outside the 20-metre buffer and a 3.5m wide shared pedestrian pathway will be incorporated into the buffer. Council said they had received several letters objecting to changes to the 20m buffer. Clarence Property Development Manager James Webb told The Weekly Clarence Property and its consultant team have been working hard with residents of Casuarina and Tweed Shire Council to address issues which had been raised. “In this time, Clarence Property has responded positively to resident and Council’s concerns and has invested a significant amount of time and resources into amending the proposal to address the matters raised,” Mr Webb said. “To this end, the modified proposal addresses the previously raised issues in respect to the northern green buffer, subdivision design and stormwater management for the Town Centre. “Re-instatement of the northern green buffer will provide greater separation between future residential dwellings to the adjoining northern houses. “The proposed layout has been amended to increase the width of the

pedestrian/cycleway from 2.5m to 3.5m linking from the coastal pathway through to the Coles supermarket site.” Mr Webb said the main benefits of the new Concept Plan will result in a population decrease of around 47 per cent and an additional 26 public parking spaces. Other concerns raised by the community included building heights with plans for four-storey buildings within the development and clarity around Surf Life Saving Facilities. “The maximum building height continues to accord with the Tweed LEP 2014 of 13.6m,” the development application reads. “Future development of the key medium density and shop-top housing lots will be governed by the Council’s maximum building height stipulated for the site at 13.6m. Surf lifesaving facilities are to be provided in the ‘Icon Building’.” To make a submission visit the Department of Planning & Environment Major Projects website at http://majorprojects.planning.nsw. gov.au or Tweed Shire Council offices.

Celebration for new Banora Point drains funding

SEVERAL BANORA Point residents are celebrating Tweed Shire Council’s decision to boost funding in order to improve water quality and the amenity of the drains around Banora Point this week, known as the Western Drainage Scheme. In a quarterly budget review, Council last week voted to inject more than $750,000 into restoring the health of this significant waterway by undertaking structural changes to remove shallow points in the system. The funds will be used to increase weed removal, extend the floating reed bed system and involve the community in revegetation. Tweed Shire Mayor Katie Milne said the state of the Western Drainage Scheme had been a ‘bugbear’ of the community for a long time. “It’s depressing to see how bad it gets sometimes and I totally appreciate the community’s angst,” Mayor Milne said. “The Western Drainage Scheme has been deteriorating over the years and is

now the source of frequent complaints. “This Council has listened to the community and we hope the extra funds and initiatives adopted by Council will help improve this complex system. “The steps that are planned sound like they are going to have a significant impact. “This is not just an aesthetic problem. These over nutrified waters drain into the back of the Terranora Broadwater, which is classified as a State-significant coastal lake and important fishbreeding and migratory bird areas. “The Banora Point community is the big winner out of this quarterly budget review.” Long-time advocate for improving the drain systems at Banora Point was local John Sydenham, who said he was delighted with the funding announcement, but had some initial concerns about what he said was talks of a Banora Point levy. “I haven’t got a lot of details about

HOT WATER & GAS HEATING SPECIALISTS

this levy as yet,” he told The Weekly. “However, there’s plans for more information to come out soon I’m hoping to clarify, but we’re hoping there’s no Banora Point drains levy to improve the waterway.” The Weekly is also following up with Tweed Shire Council in relation to the suggested levy being imposed for the funding boost. A Tweed Shire Council spokesperson said there is “no levy attached to the funding, but it is something Council will consider discussing in the new year”. Mr Sydenham also raised concerns about an increase in trolleys appearing in the drainage system and questioned whether it was up to Council or the relevant trolley owner that should remove the trolleys.

MArquardt, Sam’s supportive principal and “ Lunch with Fitz” began. Mr FitzSimons heaped praise on Sam for his efforts and said he wanted to get involved. “Sam is a fine young Australian, and I am extremely impressed with his community spirit,” he said. “It is precisely what we, as Australians, must do in these difficult times - turn to each other, and not on each other. “We need more Sams, and I am very happy to do whatever I can to help.” Sam said he selected the Kids In Need charity because he’d looked at all the charities and found that Kids In Need ticked all the boxes. Its a charity which helps kids, every dollar stays local and is not spent on promotion or advertising. Sam has since received a range of donations including signed jerseys from the Queensland Reds Rugby, NSW Waratahs and Gold Coast Suns, including Gary Ablett Jr’s signature. Also just over 30 local businesses have provided goods and vouchers for the auction. Proud mum, Kate Smith said her son has spent his school holidays and weekends canvassing businesses to donate and she was thankful for the wonderful support given by the many local businesses providing a great variety and range of items. “The lunch is really important for our community and we are extremely grateful that Brendan Cannon, former Wallaby, has also offered support and will be the MC on the day. Peter FitzSimons is guaranteed to provide an entertaining speech, whilst a two course lunch is enjoyed by all,” she said. “Van Humphries will also be in attendance who is the new head coach of the Palm Beach Currumbin Alleygators Rugby Club, which is who Sam plays for. So Sam has scored the hat trick with three former Wallabies hitting the Tweed!” Group bookings are available, tables of 10 are discounted at $900 or individual tickets are $100 each, and sponsorship tables are still available.

4/42 MACHINERY DRIVE, SOUTH TWEED

BIG HEARTED Tweed youngster Samuel Smith, 13, is proving you don’t need to be an adult to provide help to those who need it most, as he’s been working hard for the second year in a row raising funds for the local charity Kids In Need (KIN). Sam has also captured the hearts of Australian sporting and media personalities with several former Wallaby players including Australian personality Peter FitzSimons getting involved. Mr FitzSimons said he wanted to get behind Sam’s cause by hosting a special “Lunch with Fitz” taking place on Wednesday, November 29, at the Twin Towns River Room from 12 noon. Sam told The Weekly that he wanted to create a legacy for his last year of primary school in 2016, which motivated him to raise funds for KIN and set up an annual event for all local schools called KIN Schools Day. “Something that would continue every year,” he said. “This is why I was sending the emails to schools and to the media to try to get schools to register and participate and to get the media attention to help promote registrations and school participation. “It’s about kids helping kids.” In Sam’s first year he raised $8,000 from a range of different events from KIN Schools Day, to All at Sea Album launch and a Silent sponsored day at his school. The local youngster, who is in year 7 at Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School, says he loves his Rugby Union and his hobbies include playing guitar and learning new languages at school. He’s also discovered a passion for helping others through his charity work, which he hopes to grow every year. For Sam its all about Kid Helping Kids and a community coming together. Sam has discovered that it is not easy fundraising, and said many never acknowledged or responded to his emails but in August this year that changed when Peter FitzSimons not only acknowledged Sam but offered to help.

Local shares vision for Tweed Heads veterans hospital FIERCE ADVOCATE for veterans and Tweed Shire local business owner John Williams said he’s hoping to secure a meeting with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in early 2018, to discuss his idea for developing Australia’s first dedicated veteran’s rehabilitation hospital at Tweed Heads. Mr Williams said he has been developing the idea for a number of years having worked closely with returned service people through the Vietnam Veterans Association in Nerang which has developed his understanding for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and its debilitative impacts on life. Mr Williams is the owner of JLW Management Consulting and has also worked with health providers close to veterans. “I would like the Federal Government through the Prime Minister and Veterans Affairs Department to help me establish a much-needed medical facility for soldiers, sailors, airmen from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and Timor confilcts,” he said. “The hospital could use a former aged care facility, mooted for demolition, at Tweed Heads and could include an 80-bed hospital

[

will full mental health capabilities to help bring these servicemen and women back to full health.” Mr Williams said he understood people may see his idea as far-reaching given the cost of health facilities. “However, I believe this could be costed around $20 million, which would be funded by the government and remain a public asset,” he said. “The cost benefit of rehabilitating many of the country’s citizens impacted by the terrors of war, would also translate by alleviating the current health strains and getting those ready back into the workplace.” Mr Williams said his vision was not unachievable, but would take the foresight and support of Australia’s highest officials to back it. “I’ve already had conversations with several staff from The Tweed Hospital, RSL, Legacy and Vietnam Veterans Association, who have all said it would be a great idea and provide more jobs in the growing Tweed Shire for local health jobs,” he said. “Employees will be selected from local health professionals and positions will be advertised in The Weekly.

Man with a vision John Williams

“The health care benefits would be a great return to society and therefore alleviate the stress placed on the health care system. Mr Williams said he has an appointment with the Prime Minister in February to discuss his proposal which he said the community has been extremely supportive of. “I currently have an appointment with the Prime Minister in early February to discuss the matter further, however Mr Turnbull’s

STUDENTS AT Pottsville Beach Public School will soon benefit from brand new school facilities however, several local parents have expressed the need for a high school with the nearest at Kingscliff. “I think it’s great that the Pottsville Beach Public School will get this upgrade, but there’s a real need for a local high school in Pottsville, a growing area,” one Pottsville parent said. Education Minister Rob Stokes and Member for Tweed Geoff Provest recently announced that a tender has been released to industry for construction of the building works. Construction work is set to begin early in the new year on the upgrade which will deliver 13 brand new classrooms and upgrades to student facilities to modernise and improve the facilities on offer at the school. The project will also upgrade the school’s core facilities, including the library and the administration area. This work will allow 13 demountables to be removed, freeing-up valuable playground space for students to enjoy. Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said the upgrade to the school will help meet the future enrolment needs of the local area. “This upgrade will ensure that local students can continue to receive a topquality in a great school,” Mr Provest said. “I’m delighted the NSW Government is delivering this project for the outstanding teachers and students at Pottsville Beach Public School.” Rob Stokes said the project was part of an unprecedented school building program underway. “This upgrade will transform this school and provide the high-quality learning facilities that local families deserve” Rob Stokes said. Another round of information sessions will be held in December, providing the next opportunity for the community to be involved in the project and provide valuable feedback.

Red Ribbon organisers have extraordinary story

LONGTIME FRIENDS Miche’al Cowie and Michael Davis have an extraordinary story of love, loss and living with HIV to tell as they prepare to present the Red Ribbon Art Exhibition and Sale. Locals to the Tweed Shire, the pair have teamed up to present an incredible exhibition of Miche’al’s hand-drawn artworks to honour friends and family lost from HIV/ AIDS and those still living with HIV. Miche’al, 50, is the mastermind who created the artwork and has a heart of gold volunteering one day a week with the University of the Third Age (U3A) for the past 18 years. Despite the fact most members are in their 50s before they join, Miche’al started with U3A Southport in 1998 after losing several jobs due to his epilepsy. Miche’al has a type of epilepsy where he has partial seizures - when a partial seizure takes place a person can stand still and go blank, anywhere from a split second to twenty minutes or more. “Once the person is out of the partial seizure and seems to be fine they may not record any of the present conversation up to half an hour or more, and very rarely remember having the partial seizure,” Michael said. “Seeking some comfort from being in an unhappy relationship for over eight years Miche’al in 2002 became HIV positive, from a friend of his who at the time did not know he was HIV positive.” In April 2005, Miche’al introduced himself to Michael at a luncheon for HIV positive people, their carers and volunteers. The meeting would spark a new friendship, one that continues to flourish through support and motivation for one another. “Miche’al said I have epilepsy and handed me his phone number and said call me,” Michael said. Michael’s partner of four years had died from an epileptic seizure only five months before on November 19. Michael had put his partner Scot on the plane the night before to visit his dad in Mackay. “On having the seizure in bed in the morning, his dad thought he would be fine, only to find Scot dead hours later,” Miche’al said. “Micheal got the call that night Scot had died that morning and as a result when he met Miche’al he did not hesitate to call, for he knew how hard it was for someone with epilepsy to make friends, it was hard enough if you were HIV positive.” The pair’s friendship has lasted ever since, and Michael helped move Miche’al to Tweed Heads. “As it turns out Miche’al who could

Miche’al Cowie with friend Michael Davis

produce the most amazing art work was lost with red tape, paper work, numbers, times, days, dates, money and any to do with just about any to do with numbers,” Michael said. Michael, after a long process, became his carer while he was also going through his own trauma. Micheal was diagnosed HIV positive in 1987 in Broadbeach and moved to Newcastle to care for his partner who had moved back in with his mother for better treatment. Shortly after his partner’s death in 1991, Michael was run over and went under the front wheel of a car. He received 15 fractured ribs, a broken collar bone and fractured pelvis as well as bruising from head to toe and was not expected to make it through the night. Micheal had another relationship, but his partner went downhill fast and died in 1994. Michael joined the HIV speakers group where he spoke to high school students throughout Newcastle Maitland, and surrounding areas, and also at the University of Newcastle to up and coming doctors and nurses and at Newcastle TAFE to future social workers. “In 2000, I moved to Tweed Heads to be closer to my mother where I met Scot and then Miche’al,” he said. “At first Miche’al’s red ribbon art helped me cope with my newly diagnosed condition and as I spoke of how extraordinary it was to see the red ribbon in his drawings this inspired me to do more. “The road to getting the art to the gallery has been a longer than expected journey, finding the money to frame the art, finding a gallery, eventually they had to use what little they had or it was never going to happen. “Unfortunately, we have no space to hang all the artworks. Selling the art was not our first intention, neither was to sit in the back of a cupboard, to be sold to someone to give them a good home is the next best thing. “It is a proud moment to finally open the Red Ribbon Art Exhibition to the community to honour those with HIV/ AIDS we have lost, friends and family, those still living, plus, bring the community together through art.”

Local News 15

Q&A with Nationals candidate for the seat of Lismore macadamia farm. Austin and his wife Bronwyn now have two young children in Claudia (4) and George (2), with a third on the way. Together, they run a macadamia farm in Tregeagle, south of Lismore. 1. Firstly, could you please tell The Weekly readers a little about yourself, your connection to the Lismore State Seat and your farming background? I’m a 38-year-old macadamia grower in Tregeagle, east of Lismore. I manage two family orchards with 6,700 trees. We have lived in Lismore since 1984. My brother, three sisters and I went to school in Lismore city and later Sydney. We have played local sport in Lismore, crashed out at the skateboard parks, paddled kayaks through floodwaters in the 80s and 90s. We have raced rowing boats on the Tweed River, climbed Wollumbin Mount Warning as kids and adults and camped on the Clarence River. I loved growing up here and brought my family back to the area from Perth so they could also grow up in a safe environment with plenty of opportunity for outdoor adventure. 2. Could you please tell readers about your farm and its background? Our farming operations commenced in 1989 when the macadamia industry was still developing. The fertile, red soil in the area make it an ideal place to grow macadamias. Our properties have always focused on preserving and improving the natural environment we live in. We limit our use of pesticides and herbicides where possible, we maintain natural environments for beneficial insects to breed to help us combat pests which can destroy macadamias as they mature. As kids we helped Mum and Dad plant hundreds of gum trees to establish koala and wildlife corridors around the farm. We make our own compost from woodchip, macadamia husk and manure and bring in bees

to stimulate pollination and wasps to control pests as well. Plus we enjoy the benefits of solar power and collecting rainwater. We are a productive farm, employing local labour and selling to local processors. 3. What are some of your political views and how do you view commerce over environment or visa versa? We need sensible and sustainable business and population growth for our region to thrive. Commerce must thrive to continue to keep our communities employed and contributing to our local economies. This needs to happen with respect, consideration and protection of our agricultural land and natural beauty. The push into renewable power generation is essential and our local uptake and efforts by individuals, business and industry and councils are to be applauded. On farm, we are transitioning to battery operated equipment where appropriate. The battery storage area is an exciting direction to be going in but it’s not happening overnight. In the meantime, businesses and industry that employ us, pay our wages and help us pay our bills and send our kids to school need to operate. Power must also be affordable. Our emergency wards need to stay open and the lights on when people are rushed into our hospitals. We have to be practical, patient and logical as we make this transition. Water quality and supply is paramount, as is the management of our local river systems. We need all groups of people in our region to aspire to living happier, healthier lives and making a contribution. This can only be done by creating opportunities for people to work, get better educated and connect with people socially. I want to inspire people to think this way. 4. Where do you see growth across the Lismore Shire? How do you believe we can best balance this growth with the environment in mind? Our growth must come from within initially. As residents of our region we must serve,

support and sustain ourselves. A dollar spent at the coast is a dollar lost to Murwillumbah, Lismore, Kyogle or other surrounding towns and villages. We must encourage businesses and investment west of the Pacific Highway. Sensible and sustainable housing developments and construction growth will always help to drive our region’s economy and provide employment. Tourism and agriculture are two of our fastest growing sectors. We must promote tourism opportunities particularly around the Tweed and continue to be open to innovation in agriculture especially. Blueberries in our region, soya beans and macadamias are no longer cottage industries. They coexist with the beef, dairy, sugar and timber industries across our region to provide for families. To foster growth in these key industries, our roads and bridges must be fit for purpose and fit for the future. I don’t think we necessarily need to reinvent the wheel but we have to ask ourselves what could we do that Wagga Wagga, Orange, Tamworth or Dubbo have done already? Could their formula be practical to the north of NSW? 5. Finally, could you please give readers some of your experience working with Thomas George MP and what advice and guidance he has given you? Thomas is a valuable, caring and helpful representative for our community broadly and especially to our branches. He has been very welcoming to me since I joined the Lismore branch of the NSW Nationals last year after leaving Perth. I have been able to ring his office and get prompt replies. Thomas even agreed to take me on a work experience trip with him earlier this year when I was deciding whether to throw my hat in the ring for preselection. I saw him interacting with constituents and noticed his ability to remember names, his patience and natural warmth to everyone. So far, he has advised me to remain true to myself. This has served me well through preselection so I intend on carrying that forward to March 2019.

LISMORE LOCAL and farmer Austin Curtin has been chosen to contest the state seat of Lismore once Thomas George MP retires from the top spot, after he received the most votes in a NSW Nationals community preselection on the weekend. Leader of the NSW Nationals John Barilaro and Deputy Leader Niall Blair have joined with Mr George MP in welcoming the preselection of Mr Curtin. Mr Barilaro said Austin is an exceptional candidate with a strong history of serving the communities across the electorate. “Austin has proved himself to the communities of the Lismore electorate that he is the right person to represent them,” Mr Barilaro said. The Weekly recently caught up with Mr Curtin for a Q&A to give readers a greater insight into his political views and life on his

Touching service to celebrate Tweed icon Anne Egan OAM Treasures a plenty at Stotts HUNDREDS OF residents and visitors touched by the remarkable life of Margaret Anne Egan OAM or “Anne”, gathered at the Church of the Sacred Heart to celebrate her life on Tuesday, November 21, after she passed away last week at age 62. Hundreds gathered inside the church for Anne’s Requiem Mass which was carried out beautifully by Parish Priest Father Anthony Lemon and Former Parish Priest Father David Gilbey. The mass also included an amazing song performed by Mark Simpson who sang a version of Hallelujah originally by Leonard Cohen and adapted by Kelley Mooney. A close friend of Anne’s, Simone Wong spoke on behalf of her family and gave a stirring account of Anne’s incredible abilities as a solicitor, her love for life and care for the community. “Anne sought fairness for all and gave guidance to those who needed it,” Simone said. Her speech highlighted Anne’s drive to improve the conditions and health and wellbeing of almost anyone she met, through the outstanding contribution she made to the community as part of many organisations designed to

Hundreds of mourners gathered to farewell Anne Egan OAM

improve lives. Anne was awarded an Order of Australia Medal by Acting GovernorGeneral and Governor of New South Wales, David Hurley AC DSC, who presented Anne with the award at her bedside on Thursday, November 9. The medal symbolised Anne’s life of passion for community service where she achieved outstanding results with Rotary International, the Catholic Church, Murwillumbah Hospital Board and various school-based committees. She had also received a Wonder of Women award for her work for the disadvantaged women of the Tweed and establishing a Women’s Refuge. Anne alongside her loving husband Jeff developed a respected legal practice, Egan Simpson Solicitors, where her abilities in Family Law enabled her to help many locals through difficult times. Simone said Anne was a proud

charter member of Rotary Club of Mt Warning and excelled in Governor positions but was “known for her warmth and fun”. “Anne was not afraid to show her sense of humour. She had a mischievous and fun life. She stood up for what she believed,” Simone said. “Her children were encouraged to make their own choices in life and own mistakes. “Anne had so much love and pride for her family. The Murwillumbah community has lost a true gem. She was the queen of Rotary in Australia. Lovely woman, legend and fierce fighter.” Anne is survived by her husband Jeff, loved mother and mother-inlaw of Kate and Grant, Tim and Luke, and Ben and Emma. Cherished Grandmother of Avalon and Lucian. Loved sister of Tony, Owen, Andrew (dec'd), Michael, Gerald, Eugene, Bernadette, and Damien (dec'd).

A GLENCAIRN whisky glass, a set of furniture crafted by esteemed makers Chiswell and a Holden Astra are among the treasures that have recently been unearthed at the Vinnies Buy Back Shop at Stotts Creek. A Glencairn is a small, tulip-shaped glass designed to enhance the aroma and flavour of any whisky. The glass is the discerning choice among whisky lovers and can be found at distilleries in Scotland, Ireland and Wales as well as all over the United States. Amid a rummage through the glassware at the Vinnies Buy Back Shop, located at the Resource Recovery Centre at Stotts Creek, Robin Osborne discovered a Glencairn for sale for merely a dollar. Mr Osborne, who is St Vincent de Paul Society’s North Coast Communications Manager, was looking for bargains among items that were brought to the waste facility for dumping. Among these items was the furniture set by Chiswell, a NSW company with a long-running reputation for quality. According to the shop’s team leader Michael McCart, the set would be worth $12,000 new. “Take the cabinet, for example,” said McCart, indicating a glass-fronted cabinet with vertical pull-out drawers. “New, $2,500. Here, $500 - total bargain.” As McCart explains, an arrangement between Tweed Shire Council, who runs the facility, and Solo, who have the contract for managing and dropping off the materials, has seen Vinnies staff members positioned at the transfer pad where various skips are located. The Vinnies Buy Back Shop now holds a vast amount of goods that have been rescued by Vinnies staff and volunteers. They are stacked in the shop and arranged according to category, such as sporting goods, building materials, garden tools, electrical, bikes, mowers, toys and much more. Among the more unusual items that McCart has discovered is a Holden Astra that ended up on the metals pile. “I jumped in, turned the key on, and drove it away,” Mr McCart said. “It sold for $400.” The Vinnies Buy Back Shop is open 8.30am to 3pm Tuesday to Saturday. The shop also welcomes inquiries from anyone interested in volunteering - contact Mr McCart on 0429 144 035.

THERE ARE only a few sleeps to go before the iconic Santaland opens in Murwillumbah at the Salvo’s Store on Main Street with the first day on Monday, December 9. The Salvo’s Store will come alive with a beautiful Christmas display for the Santaland event. The Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber (MDBC) is proud to again organise this popular event where children and adults alike can visit the store to have a great photo with Santa in a beautiful Christmas setting. MDBC Vice President Helen Stubbin said the idea behind Santaland was to offer the local community good quality photos with Santa at a very reasonable price. “It’s also designed to encourage people to do their Christmas shopping in the local area and support our businesses that have had a particularly difficult time this year,”

she said. “We guarantee to have the happiest Santa in the Tweed Shire. “This year we are encouraging business owners to get into the Christmas spirit and bring along their staff for a photo with Santa.” Photo prices start at only $8 for a 6” x 4” photo. All sessions this year are from 10am to 12.30pm. Santaland will operate on the following dates: Friday, December 8, Saturday, December 9, Friday, December 15, Saturday December 16 and each day of the first week of the school holidays from Monday December 18 to Saturday December 23. “Santaland had great support last year from the community,” Ms Stubbin said. “MDBC wishes to thank Steve and his staff at the Salvo’s for welcoming us again into their store to hold Santaland and acknowledge the huge effort they make to create our Santaland display.”

Motorcycle Club secures new parking

HARDWORK AND support from Gold Coast Council has helped the Tweed Heads Motorcycle Enthusiasts Club to secure seven new motorcycle parking bays on the iconic Marine Parade at Coolangatta. Club Vice President Rod Hall said he put a request in with Division 14 Councillor Gail O’Neill to make the application to the Council for the parking bays and he had an outstanding result. “The Council in their wisdom agreed there was a need for motorcycle parking, creating a seven bay motorcycle parking area where there had previously been just one oversized car parking bay,” Mr Hall told The Weekly. “They are now free for locals and holiday makers to go shopping or enjoy the beach.” Mr Hall said he would like to take the opportunity to thank Gold Coast Councillor Gail O’Neill for the result and “let everyone in her electorate know she was responsible for this great result for everyone,

riders, shoppers, holidaying families and Coolangatta Hotel”. Mr Hall would also like to let other riders and the public know that the THMCEC have meat tray raffles at the Coolangatta Hotel every Saturday from 1pm (2pm NSW time). “So come on down and have a great afternoon at Cooly Pub and have a chance to win one of three excellent “Master Meats” trays, at present we are raffling two large “Master Meats “ Christmas hams each afternoon till our Christmas break,” he said. “The money raised supports local charities sponsored by his club. “This Sunday, November 26, the THMCEC will be donating $3,000 to Kids In Need at the Dragon Boat Races at Jack Evans Boat Harbour, the club makes this donation at the Dragon Boat Races every year.” For more information about THMCEC phone: 0417 724 486.

Australia: Skin Cancer Capital Of The World IN THE past couple years there has been an increasing interest around the use of natural oils as sunscreens. This is due to many developments in research that show natural oils do in fact posses a small amount of SPF. Lets start with the basics: Sunscreen is a lotion, spray or gel that reflects the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the skin when exposed to sunlight. SPF (or Sun Protection Factor) – is the measure of a sunscreen’s ability to prevent UV rays from damaging the skin. Formulator Nancy Evans says “If you look at it in terms of plants, they do not need a sunscreen, their natural oils give them a protective barrier from the sun so they don’t burn.” From this thought, Nancy Evans began to research all seed oils and raw ingredients that contain a natural SPF properties to formulate a healthy organic sun cream. Nancy Evans has developed a unique formulation which contains 7 organic raw seed oil ingredients that will protect the skin from UV and is made with organic herbs, organic essential oils and organic waxes. The cream works by leaving an invisible coating on your skin, just like a second skin without blocking the lymph nodes! With an organic wax layer, the Organic Rosehip Sun Moisturising Cream enables your skin to breathe naturally whilst maintaining its moisture, which is particularly important in the harsh Australian dry weather. Nothing is more important to us on Earth than the Sun. One of the amazing things sunlight provides for us is Vitamin D. It is important for the creation and maintenance of bones. Over-exposure to UV radiation may cause serious health effects, caused by tanning, sunburn, etc. Long exposure to UV radiation may accelerate skin ageing, which can lead to skin cancer. Heavy exposure to sun can also damage the eyes, leading to conditions such as cataracts.

Did you know that Queensland, Australia is the Skin Cancer Capital of the world? One of the most common forms of cancer globally is the skin cancer. It is especially common among people with light skin. Australia and New Zealand have the highest rates of melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer in the world. Side Effects of Using Chemical Sunscreens Even though sunscreens are preferred for sun protection, usage of excessive sunscreens with chemicals may have its side effects. Some of their side effects are mentioned below. •Sunscreens may have allergic reactions as they may not be suitable for all type of skins. •Sunscreens are not advisable for acne prone skins because the chemicals will make it worse. •If sunscreen gets into the eye, it can cause pain and irritation. It may also lead to burning and temporary sensitivity to light. •Sunscreens may cause itchy spots on the skin and can develop into rough red rashes that sometimes turn into pus-filled blisters around the hair follicles. Organic Rosehip Skincare has an array of Organic Sun Care Products to form a protective layer between yourself and harsh climatic conditions. The Sun Care Products of Organic Rosehip Skincare includes Organic Sun Moisturising Cream, Tropical Sun Care and Organic Lip Balm which can be applied before and after sun exposure. They are made out of herbal ingredients that are suitable for all types of skin. Helpful for those with sensitive skin, dry skin, eczema and psoriasis.

Rescue Remedy: Regain Healthy Digestion with Bowel Restore ORGANIC ROSEHIP Skincare was established in the year 1993 by Nancy Evans. She is a believer of the saying that, “A healthy skin is the reflector of a healthy body”. Keeping this vision in mind she created her own line of organic products that has been successfully treating various skin ailments of people. Newest to the Organic Rosehip Skincare Store is Bowel Restore “Your health and beauty starts with the bowel” Nancy Evans says. Layers and layers of decayed fecal matter packed into your colon walls can cause hidden constipation, gas, bloating, fatigue, abdominal pain, and other health problems. Frightening new reports show how these toxins stored for years inside your colon can leak out and poison your cells and other organs! Colon doctors and researchers now reveal that even if you have regular, daily bowel movements, you most likely have decade’s worth, often up to 4-5 kilos of waste matter build up on the inside of your colon, causing digestive problems. Your colon’s main job is to squeeze water and nutrients out of your food as it’s digested to keep your body hydrated and provide nourishment. When you don’t drink enough water, the food inside your colon dries out too much and gets squeezed into tiny balls of fecal matter. Your colon packs it down so hard that these tiny balls become too hard to pass... and you become constipated! And when you do go it’s like trying to pass boulders. That’s when your real trouble starts, because when your colon becomes overloaded, that rotting fecal matter has to go somewhere! The most surprising thing to most people who try Bowel Restore is what a relief it is when their body starts releasing the pounds of old caked-on stuff! Often there are

dark blobs, or lumps or strings of brown or gray stuff covered with mucus, even parasites! Sometimes your excrement will be disc-shaped, moulded like the inside of your colon walls, because it’s been packed in for so long. Bowel Restore’s advanced soluble Herbal fibre formula actually begins to work its triple-action magic to get you feeling great fast. Bowel Restore breaks down the built up, crusty layers of decayed fecal matter by gently scraping and scouring your colon walls clean. It purifies and carries out all the bad stuff so toxins can’t invade your bloodstream and other organs. Combining these powerful herbs and nutrients in one formula whose ingredients all work together is critical because it provides everything you need to makes true detoxifying possible by breaking down and scouring away the builtup, crusty layers of decayed fecal matter and harmful toxins. Ingredients: Psyllium Husk, Black Walnut Hulls#, Hibiscus Rosella, Liquorice Root, Horsetail, Rosehip, Oat Straw, Slippery Elm, Cascara, Marshmallow Root, Cinnamon Verum, Irish Moss, Yucca Root, Astragalus, Chlorella, Turmeric, Bladderwrack, Wormwood, Ashwaganda, Barberry, Dandelion Root, Meadowsweet, Skullcap, Aloe Ferox, Turkish Rhubarb, Mullein, Passionflower, Witchhazel#, Paw Paw Leaf, Violet Leaf, Vanilla, Fennel Seed, Clove Bud. #Wildcrafted.

Special Feature...

How to Zero Your Power Bill - and Stay Connected to the Grid On the 1st July power prices increased by 20% in NSW. Solar Feed in Tariffs doubled. In this special report you will find out how you can get the most benefit from solar power on your house and minimise the impact of higher power prices.

If You Use Less Than 10 kWh per Day...

Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels to Eliminate your power bill

With Feed in tariffs at 12-16c you can now sell power back to the grid as part of a strategy to minimise and eliminate power charges completely. Production from 2.5 kW of solar - about 10 panels - will offset the dreaded electricity supply charge when all the generated power is exported. You now get half as much for the power you sell as it costs you to buy from the grid. If you export enough, the rest of your power charges can be eliminated. This strategy is ideal for retirees or small households.

If You Use 10-25 kWh per Day...

Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels and Batteries if Export is Limited If Essential Energy will let you export 5 kWh or more to the grid, then stacking your roof with as many solar panels as possible will work well for you. If export is limited, consider storing extra power in a battery bank for night time use. A combination of solar for export, self use maximised during the day and battery storage is a great strategy to bring your bill closer to zero for medium households with 3-4 people.

If You Use More Than 25 kWh per Day... Install 8+ kW of Solar Panels and Solar Batteries

Export 5 kWh to the grid, use as much as you can during the day and store power for night time use in a larger bank of solar batteries. Power prices are expected to rise by another 50% in the next 2 years, so everything you put in now will work even better in the years to come. Get a free energy plan from 888 Solar Tek because every home is different and you need help to get your solar system sized right and working perfectly.

Solar Batteries Ensure You Never Have Blackouts in the Storm Season

Solar Rebate to Drop in 2018 But Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Panic!

Every year, for the next 14 years, the value of subsidies for new installations of solar panels will fall. The payment is made based on the installation date, so many solar companies are getting people into a panic to sign up now or miss out. The incremental decrease is about $300 less for a 6 kW solar system installed after 31st Dec 2017.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Panic! 888 Solar Tek will pay the full 2017 rebate for any system ORDERED before 31st of Dec 2017 regardless of install date.

You also get 2 Extra Panels Free with any Solar System

Until the end of November 2017, 888 Solar Tek will add two extra panels to each New solar system ordered for FREE! You get 2 extra 270 Watt, tier 1 Seraphim solar panels - over half a kW more power with our highest quality Seraphim panels - the first panel in the world to ever pass the Photon Labs independent torture test.

Cabarita home to State’s best bowlers Celebrations for Bahá’í THE CABARITA Beach Bowls Club has for the first time in its history raised the Grade Three State Ladies Pennant Flag on Tuesday, November 21, heralding a new era for the club who have battled for decades to reach this point. The flag was officially raised in the presence of NSW State Bowls President Mary-Anne Purcell, who congratulated the club on an outstanding performance towards victory. Head of Championships and Cabarita bowler Michelle Freeman told The Weekly the hard-fought win was a historic moment for the club. “The competition started with clubs from the Tweed Byron District which includes clubs from here to the

northern side of Ballina,” she said. “Cabarita Beach Bowls Club beat Park Beach 32 to 13, then progressing to the next round against Yamba 34 to 12 and finally Ballina, who’s an extremely strong side, but we came out winners 40 to 35.” The Cabarita Beach bowlers progressed from here to the State Playoffs, which is an elimination round meaning the bowlers needed to be on their game. “Again, the Caba side came out strong and we managed to beat Castle Hill in a close match 40 to 34, followed by Cooma 56 to 26, Taree West 36 to 34, Lemon Tree Passage 38 to 34 and in the final we downed Leeton 45 to 29.” The win means the Cabarita Beach Bowls Club is now the best Grade

Three Ladies bowls team in NSW. “This is a great achievement for the Tweed Shire and testament to the hard work of our members and support from the club,” she said. “The club has also been nominated as the Country Club of the Year in the Night of Nights Championship Awards, which are set to be announced in Sydney on Thursday, November 23. “We also have an exceptional player who has been nominated as Senior Bowler of the Year, Joy Lake, who will also be attending the Night of Nights Championship Awards in Sydney.” Anyone that wants to get involved in the State’s best bowls team can contact Cabarita Beach Bowls Club, who welcome any new members: (02) 6676 1135 or phone Sue Harriman 0450 911 419.

THE AUSTRALIAN Bahá’í community held a spiritual celebration at Banora Point Community Centre recently, with members and friends enjoying festivities to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of the founder of the Bahá’í Faith. The bicentennial gathering was attended by more than 120 interested people from all walks of life. This event started with a prayer followed by beautiful live music, vibrant multicultural performances, unique community building activities and a delicious food feast. The festival marked the first of two major celebrations for the Bahá’í faith with keynote speaker Dr Andre Wattiaux, who said that the invitees attending were joining millions of others around the world in celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Bahá’í Faith. “His message and teachings will usher in peace and unity in the world at a time when we are faced with the most pressing challenges,” Dr Wattiaux said. “Some of the teachings included: the belief in the nobility of the human spirit, elimination of prejudice, equality of men and women, harmony of science and religion, a more equitable distribution of wealth and a universal auxiliary language to name a few. “Over the last two hundred years since the birth of Bahá’u’lláh, people touched by his life and message have combined their spiritual life with meaningful actions to design a path of service to contribute to community building efforts around them. “ Messages of congratulations on the bicentennial were received overall from the Governor General, the Prime minister, the Leader of the Opposition and State Premiers and Opposition leaders. Federal MP Justine Elliott sent best wishes and congratulations for the occasion. Mayor Katie Milne expressed her delight with the evening’s celebration with thanks and congratulations and cake cutting (pictured below).

Once the flag is up the pole the State President leads those present in an ovation of clapping hands. Inset is the flag and team which includes L to R: Margery Turner (Manager), June Foran (Skip), Michelle Freeman, Lois McLeod, Maryann Parcell (State President, WBNSW), Faye Turner, Pat Moore, Valerie Dudley, Joy Lake (Skip)

Stunning Oceans Retreat at Casuarina to open in 2018 ONE OF Casuarina’s most stunning oceanfront properties at 768 Casuarina Way, known as Oceans Retreat, has recently sold and is being refurbished with a view to reopen the luxury getaway as a health and wellness retreat. Business partners Pat Rached and Damien Rider are breathing new life into the iconic building and are focused on reconnecting visitors to the property’s natural beauty through their wellness, fitness and training programs. The duo hopes to have the retreat open for guests by mid-March 2018 and will offer retreat packages for individuals, couples and groups to escape the hustle and bustle of life and experience a revitalising holiday. The Weekly recently visited the retreat to catch up with Pat and Damien and learn about their vision for the property and hopes to help with both mind, body and soul at the luxury retreat. No stranger to retreats, Damien has travelled the world working in the industry in countries such as the US and Thailand with programs designed for raw vegans, wellness retreats, fitness retreats and tailored programs to meet guest's needs and passions. Damien is also an acclaimed ultra-athlete and has completed several incredible feats of endurance including in January 2015 he paddled on a Surf Life Saving board from Rainbow Bay to Bondi unassisted. The mammoth task took Damien 17 days with dozens of shark encounters along the way and remains the longest unassisted sea paddle on record. He also drew on his passion as a youngster for skateboarding and in 2016 rode his trusty 1980s skateboard across the United States a total of 4000km on Route 66, which took him 56 days and set another world record. But his story does not end with his many athletic world records, Damien also started

Australia’s first Child Abuse Awareness Week campaign in both Australia and Thailand. “Child Abuse Awareness Week started last year for the first time and is now takes place each year on January 1 for seven days,” he said. “Thailand is from January 3 for seven days and I undertake an annual paddle event during that time to promote breaking the cycle of child abuse and creating awareness for child abuse.” Damien’s inspiring stories and knowledge of the industry around the world combined perfectly with Pat’s business experience and drive to succeed in the fast-growing retreat industry. “Our vision for Oceans Retreat is to not only provide our guests with an incredible experience, but to also help with their fitness and wellness, through meditation and relaxation,” he said. Renovations throughout the property are also emphasising the retreat's connection to nature, restoring the property’s pond and connecting guests to the natural and super relaxing environment surrounding the property. The pair are also connecting with local service providers to offer guests additional therapies including massage, physiotherapy and other health services on site. “We want to create a retreat that’s also strongly connected to the local community and uses local services,” Pat said. “Our hope is to also open up the retreat to other operators and allow them access to this amazing space to undertake their own health and wellness retreat packages.” The main signature programs will run for seven days but three day and local commuter programs will also be available for $3,400 (seven days or as low as $2,400 shared room), which includes an amazing array

Business partners Damien Rider and Pascal Rached

of healthy meals, meditation, yoga, fitness training, swim training, daily massages and much more. “We also help focus on the mental approach and help people overcome some of life’s challenges,” Damien said. “It's about helping support people through their adversity and their wellness. We feel that although there's a lot of labels for people and their conditions, we work towards healing and offering to break those cycles that life can sometimes place in our way, and we also follow each client’s journey.” Pat said the pair had also worked hard to keep the costs down in order to give access to the retreat for everyone. “We want this retreat to be a strong part of

the local community and we’ve priced it in a way to offer everyone the chance to come and experience the benefits of this amazing location and stunning property,” he said. Damien also added the duo have already reached out to local youth providers such as Cabarita Youth Service to offer their ongoing support. “It’s important to us that we have a strong local connection and we’re hiring locally as well as supporting those local services that provide the best opportunities to local kids,” he said. The retreat is also currently seeking experienced massage therapists and wellness practitioners. To find out more about the retreat phone Damien on 0421 515 665.

THE CHRISTMAS Spirit will come to life in Murwillumbah this Saturday, November 25, for the 56th annual Sacred Heart Church Christmas Carnival from 4pm and Nativity Tableau from 7pm. An invitation is extended by Parish Preist Father Anthony Lemon to all residents to enjoy this iconic family evening, which for many heralds the start of the Christmas season. The event, staged each year by the Catholic Church Murwillumbah and its Parish Schools, has established itself as a must for Tweed locals, many of whom attended the first Tableau 56 years ago, in 1961. The carnival will be held in the Mt St Patrick School grounds, where free parking is available on the playing fields accessed from Mooball Street. Tableau organiser Jade Afflick-Dixon said the usual activities and stalls will again be part of the event. “We’re opening at the Christmas carnival at 4pm this year with most stalls undercover in the ground-level basement of the Gilbey Multipurpose Centre, which can be accessed from Queensland Road as well as Mooball

Street,” she said. “On sale will be a range of cakes, craft, sweets, produce, plants, books and a white elephant stall well-stocked with preloved bric-a-brac. “Hoopla, face painting, bubble soccer and a jumping castle ensure fun for the younger age groups. “The Chocolate Wheels provide a great chance to win a ham for Christmas. “There will be numerous raffles throughout the carnival grounds. A range of food and refreshments will be on sale.” The Tableau which portrays the story of Jesus’ birth, will be enacted on stage in the Gilbey Multipurpose Centre. “We are very excited to not have to worry about the weather,” Mrs Afflick-Dixon said. “The combined schools choir and College band will accompany the Tableau actors. glow candles and carol singing will add to the Christmas atmosphere.” The evening is a team effort of Parishioners of Sacred Heart Parish and the students, staff and parents of the three parish schools – Mt St Patrick College, Mt St Patrick Primary School and St Joseph’s Primary School, South Murwillumbah.

Studios will be open on the day from 3pm to 10pm for resident artists to showcase and potentially sell their works, with a special exhibition opening at 6pm. Entitled Out with the Old, the group exhibition will explore the concept of ‘outing the old’, focussing on the idea of renewal that comes with the new year. The exhibition will ask the question: what becomes of the old? Discarded, transferred, repurposed or reimagined? M-Arts also recently announced a bumper program of summer workshops, in which accomplished local artists will impart their skills and expertise to other creatives looking to expand their abilities. No fewer than 13 workshops are on offer between now and the end of February, featuring tuition and demonstration that spans the whole artistic spectrum. One highlight will be photographer Justin Ealand’s workshop, Photographing People. Mr Ealand,

who works out of the Bushturkey Studio at M-Arts, will host the workshop on Saturday, January 18 from 10am to 3pm. Another notable workshop is entitled Hundreds, and is hosted by painter Leora Siboney. This workshop is described as an ‘exercise in the expansion of mark making’ and will see participants create a series of small works. This takes place on Saturday, December 9. Other painting workshops will be held by Hobie Porter, Barb Suttie, Elaine Green and Lisi Klein. In other workshops, Michi De Domahidy will bring new life to pre-loved clothing and fashion by imparting wisdom and know-

how regarding the ‘slow stitch’ method, while Skye Baker will lead three sessions on instructional life drawing. Ms Baker will also facilitate a second workshop, Contemporary Drawing. Ms De Domahidy will also lead a second workshop, Indigo Dyeing. The costs of the workshops range between $30 and $500 depending on the length and number of sessions. For complete details of all workshops visit https://m-arts. com.au/category/whats-on/ M-Arts is also open to the public on Mondays from 9am to 3pm. A new bar in the venue, Fitz & Potts, is also expected to open in the coming months.

Kathy Egan’s first solo show presents her discoveries made while studying at the Byron School of Art. Her work explores narrative threads by making connections through found objects, assemblage, painting and drawing. During her investigation of found objects her personal story of origin was revealed, in sharing this story universal themes of migration, identity and belonging emerged. “The purpose of art is not to explain but to reveal,” she said. “Connections Lost and Found is a body of work responding to the universal story of migration. “In the late 1950s many young Croatians escaped Post War Communist Yugoslavia, crossing the patrolled Austrian border. “They were received and processed as political migrants and later travelled on to America, Canada and Australia. “These migrants were welcomed by the immigration policies of the day.

A NEW exhibition at Tweed Regional Gallery aims to

THE MAN WHO INVENTED CHRISTMAS

A Christmas Carol is a classic reading to usher us into the holiday mood. But, did you know what it took Charles Dickens to write it? The film The Man Who Invented Christmas tells the magical journey that led to the creation of Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and the other classic characters from the novel. Of all the books written by Dickens none has been more often adapted for the screen than A Christmas Carol, so rather than retelling the classic story once again The Man Who Invented Christmas focuses on Dickens himself, revealing in this biographical movie the equally satisfying story of how the English author conceived his beloved novel. It was the year 1843 and Dickens was only 31 years old. According to the film, despite achieving early literary success the author was in severe financial straits after writing three flops in a row. When Dickens comes up with the idea for the book that would become A Christmas Carol, his publishers declined to get involved, convinced that Christmas was just a “minor holiday”, little more than a pitiful excuse for people to take a day off work. The film presents an amusing portrait of London literary society of the time, and Dickens’ family life is depicted at length, including his relationships with his loving wife, his well-meaning but irresponsible father and a new servant, Tara, whose bedtime stories to his children provide fuel for his novel.

Quite desperate, Dickens decides to publish the book himself and facing a tight deadline as the holiday approaches writes the book in a feverish six weeks. The rest, as they say, is history

subvert the traditions of the salon nude and narrative portraiture. Contemporary artist TextaQueen will hold her first survey exhibition at the gallery from December 8 to February 25. Entitled Between You and Me, the exhibition showcases how armed with just a felt-tipped pen, TextaQueen playfully tackles complex issues surrounding race, exoticism, gender, sexuality and identity. The show will feature more than 30 works that highlight TextaQueen’s work on paper, alongside a new suite of photos created during a recent placement at Mornington Shire’s Police Point Artist in Residency Program. “In 2011, the Gallery acquired a wonderful etching of The true history of the Kelly Gang by TextaQueen, which is currently on display in our collection show, Go Figure,” said Tweed Regional Gallery Director Susi Muddiman. “This new touring exhibition is a fantastic opportunity for our audiences to witness the full extent of TextaQueen’s unique practice and experience the colour and vibrancy of her work.” The official opening of Between You and Me will take place on Friday, December 8 at 6pm, and all are invited to attend. Between You and Me is a Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery travelling exhibition and is supported by Mornington Peninsula Shire. TextaQueen was born in 1975 and is of Goan Indian descent. She received her BFA from University of Western Australia in 1995. Her work has appeared as commissioned tapestries for the Australian Tapestry Workshops, as animations for SBS television and at the National Portrait Gallery of Australia. Her texta compositions have also featured on a surfboard for Clean Ocean Foundation in a calendar tea-towel for Third Drawer Down, and as album cover art for the musician Rose Turtle Ertler.

She also hosts regular workshops for kids and grown-ups at institutions such as the National Gallery of Victoria and Queensland Art Gallery. Art Almanac described TextaQueen’s work by saying, “It purposefully teeters on the edge, but because it never takes itself too seriously, the work instead pulls you in. Rich in symbolism, her pieces take time to deconstruct.”

Celebration of extraordinary life of Sister Berenice WHEN TUMBULGUM resident Kevin Twohill was in Sydney recently at the funeral mass for his late aunt, Sister Mary Berenice, he and his sisters were unexpectedly pulled aside by a nun as they entered the Sacred Heart Convent Chapel in Kensington. “The nun said ‘I think a lot of people don’t know about what she went through, and they’ll never know’,” Mr Twohill told The Weekly. “It was a very moving service and there were people there from all walks of life.” St Anthony’s Parish Father Paul McDonald Parish Priest also attended Sister Berenice’s funeral mass in Sydney and provided the eulogy and notes on her extraordinary life. Sister Berenice, born Dympna Twohill in Murwillumbah in 1916, passed away on November 3 at the age of 100. Her life story is a scarcely believable tale, with the nun at the funeral referring to the years during World War II when Sister Berenice was a Japanese prisoner of war. During this time, she was subjected to such horrors as being forced to watch Australian soldiers tortured, mutilated and killed in front of her, being denied medication for malaria and having to eat horse meat and weeds to survive. This harrowing ordeal, and that of the other nuns in captivity, was depicted in the telemovie Sisters of War, which aired on the ABC in 2010. Sister Berenice was captured as a result of being based in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea while undertaking missionary work as a teacher. Rabaul fell to the Japanese in the wake of the Pearl Harbour bombings. Sister Berenice was born into a

devout Catholic family as the eighth of 11 children, and was baptised at Murwillumbah’s Sacred Heart Church. Her father, Alexander, was Presient of the Tweed Shire for many years and inspired his family with an interest in politics as a way of improving society. She received her schooling as a boarder at Sisters of St Joseph in Uki, before entering the Congregation of the Daughters of our Lady of the Sacred Heart at Bowral in 1934. She was professed in 1936 and went on to teach music in Sydney and Bowraville before putting her hand up for missionary work in Rabaul. Mr Twohill said that he and his cousins (Sister Berenice had 41 nieces and nephews - the oldest surviving one being 88 and the youngest 40) were aware of their aunt’s experiences as a prisoner but were told never to ask her about it. “It wasn’t until the late 1970s that she came out and started to tell her story,” Mr Twohill said. “She was quoted in a couple of documentaries because she felt it was her duty to tell the story so that people could know what really happened in that war, and so future generations could understand what they’d gone through. “She was on death’s door when they discovered her and the other nuns in the jungle, nearly starving to death.” Sister Berenice spent the rest of her career teaching music in such far-flung places as Queenstown and Alice Springs as well as Sydney, often working with refugees. In retirement she worked at the Marian Centre in Sydney’s Inner West. Mr Twohill owns and lives on the Tumbulgum property, a sugar cane farm, where ‘Auntie Dympna’ was born

and lived until leaving for boarding school. Born in 1958, Mr Twohill describes himself as “a bit below halfway” on the age spectrum of his aunt’s many nieces and nephews, and has a plethora of fond memories of her. “Because Auntie Dympna was quite traditional, you would never see her without her veil on,” he said. “Even if she went into the bathroom she’d come out with a towel around her head.” Mr Twohill added that his aunt’s best qualities were her humility and her ability to relate to and engage with a wide range of people - as well as refugees she worked with prisoners and the homeless. “But she was obviously a person of very high moral standing, she wasn’t very fond of us who liked a social drink or whatever. “She said to me once ‘Kevin, there’s three things in life I want you to do: look after the farm, keep the faith and keep away from alcohol’. And I said to her ‘two out of three ain’t bad’.”

CONDONG MILL cane growers continue to be frustrated by the recent week of showery weather as the rain has hampered most farm operations, such as fertiliser application and weed control. Preparation of fallow areas for soy bean and other legume crops is also on hold. Cane harvesting has also come to a standstill, again because of the rain and due to Condong Mill experiencing several delays in recent weeks. The crushing season that was originally planned to conclude this week will now extend well into December as only 80 per cent of the crop has been harvested to date. However, on a pleasing note the cane crop is proving to yield 106 per cent above the original estimate and it is hoped that this larger tonnage will all be processed and not need to be ‘stood over’ for harvesting in 2018 as two-year old cane. Cane growers hope the crushing season will finish in reasonable time with some fine weather in the weeks ahead. The onset of warmer and humid weather in late November and December will cause the sugar content in the cane to drop, reducing the value of the cane to the industry. This year’s newly planted cane has struggled in some areas due to the extremely dry conditions in early Spring and now the wet and unusually cool weather in November. This young cane needs some warm, dry conditions to stimulate germination and growth. Bye for now, regards to all. Rob Hawken

Offshore: 24.5• surface temps and clear blue water sees packs of king fish on 9mile, 5mile, kingy reef and Windarah Banks smashing livies, jigs, metals and stick baits/ poppers. Make sure you bring the big gear because anglers are only stopping fish up to 15kgs and are losing gear to bigger fish. Dolphin fish at the FAD, on the 24, 36’s, 40’s, 50’s. There is the odd wahoo and blue hanging around them, most being caught on skirted lures, live bait and metals. Still a few yellow fin, bigger dollies and blues out on the shelf. Bar cod and bass grouper in 300 - 500m of water. Try deep southern, still good snaps and mixed reefies on close reefs. Fido’s, kingy reef, sullies reef and 18 fathoms off of Southport. Estuary: Jacks are on the chew this week, with quality fish taken in the Tweed. Saturday will be the pick for a red dog. Artificial’s during the day are out fishing live baits this week. Pointers, squidgie prawns and slim swims fishing really well this week. Look for packs of bait moving through these canals walk the dog lures, blades and vibes fishing well for these speedsters. There is still good flathead and whiting up on the sand banks this week. Try the council chambers, backside of wave break, Kilanga banks, Piggery, Brunswick oyster racks and the Hasting river mouth.

CARPENTER, HANDYMAN

Is your Psychology or Physical Therapy not working? Somatic Therapy works beyond the rational brain and takes us deep into the Limbic Brain to heal at the core where we store Trauma in the Autonomic Nervous System. We basically get stuck in the Body’s resource of Fright, Flight, and Freeze survival instinct and never fully come out this state back into a healthy functioning nervous system that is relaxed, calm and alert, but not in a high state of arousal or low state of immobility. Sound familiar?

WANTED Tweed Byron LAC Christmas Drug charges after police card art competition 2017 stop man in Murwillumbah Roland Cora

TWEED POLICE said the judging has begun for this year’s annual Police Christmas card art competition. Each year Superintendent Wayne Starling asks local primary schools to have their students submit art works with a police and Christmas theme. Two winners of the art competition are selected and their artwork is printed and used as the Tweed Byron LAC Christmas cards. “This year we had over 120 submissions, which was a great result,” the Police social media page said. “There were so many fantastic

pieces but we had to narrow it down to a top eleven, from those the two winners will be announced very soon. “We had some very hard decisions to make. It was great to see all the kids fantastic work.”

A 35-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with goods in custody and two counts of possession of a prohibited drug after police made an arrest in Murwillumbah on Saturday, November 18. At 11.50am, police were patrolling Numbinbah Road at Kynnumboon when they noticed a vehicle parked on the side of the road. The vehicle

attempted to arrest the man, but he drove his vehicle at speed in reverse to avoid police. A police pursuit ensued, which was then terminated a short time later due to the dangerous driving and high speed of the vehicle being chased. On Saturday, November 18 the man was arrested in Murwillumbah and charged with driving a motor vehicle during a disqualification period, not stopping during a police pursuit, driving dangerously, predatory driving, using an offensive weapon to prevent lawful detention, possession of a prohibited weapon and goods in custody. He was refused bail.

A 28-YEAR-OLD man was charged with Middle Range Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol (MRPCA) after police arrested a man in Tweed Heads on Sunday, November 19. At about 1.10am, police received a complaint regarding the behaviour of a male on Minjungbal Drive,

Tweed Heads. Police patrolled the area and located the man driving his vehicle on Heffron Street. He underwent a breath test which proved positive. He was then arrested and conveyed to Tweed Heads Police Station for a breath analysis test, and he was charged with MRPCA.

Man charged with drink driving after Tweed Heads vehicle accident A 47-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with Middle Range Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol (MRPCA) following a positive breath test in Tweed Heads. At 2.40am on Sunday, November 19, the man was driving his vehicle east along Kennedy Drive at Tweed

Heads West, when he lost control and collided with a telegraph pole. Police attended the scene and breath tested the driver, who returned the positive reading. He was then arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station where he underwent a breath analysis test and charged with MRPCA.

TWEED POLICE said Roland Cora is wanted on warrants and frequents the Northern NSW and Gold Coast areas (pictured). “Have you seen, or know where Roland Cora can be located?” Police said. “Cora is wanted for various recent offences and has outstanding warrants in both NSW and QLD.” He is aware he is wanted and is actively avoiding a u t h o r i t i e s. Phone (07) 5506 9499 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 if you have any information.

ATO scammers

THE 2016/2017 financial year saw more than 100,000 scam reports made to the ATO, according to Tweed Byron Local Area Command.

Bowls Notes BURRINGBAR’S ANNUAL Mick Dignan Memorial Fours, conducted on Saturday, November 11, attracted a full house of contestants. Old Hughie’s delivery of persistent showers during the games certainly didn’t dampen spirits as players enjoyed this friendly but very competitive event. Cudgen Leagues’ Graham Border and Fred McConnell teamed up with Cabarita’s Keith Foran and Ian Smith to enter the fray. With Border in sparkling form and great backup from his team, the lads cleaned up in all three games on the programme and scored the highest overall margin of + 27 on the day to claim the trophy.

done, the Four Amigos. Kingscliff Women’s Club Select Triples has, at last, been finalised following rain disruptions extending the final between Jeannie Maass, Robyn Creedon, Sandra Akers (Skip) and Julie Cowie, Avis Shipway and Robyn Wickbold (Skip) to a two day contest. Team Wickbold trailed early and on resuming play last week, the situation didn’t change. Team Akers, totally refreshed and with superb lead bowls from Jeannie Maass, an ageless player in her late eighties, surged ahead. With Sandra and Co. holding an unbeatable lead, the ladies shook hands at the completion of 23 ends. Top marks on a grand performance,

ladies. With the end of the 2017 calendar approaching fast, Ballina Cherry Street Sports is now gearing up for the biggest and best annual tournament in the region, the 2017/2018 Summerland Series. With $25,000 in prize money, as well as Australian Ranking Points to be awarded, Singles and Pairs contestants of both genders can look forward to a super competition beginning the last week in December and Thursday, December 7 is the closing date for entries in this rich tournament. Make sure your nominations are in by the due date and not left on the fridge door this time! See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

THE CLUB has three members selected in the NSW squad of 40 who will attend a selection training camp next weekend. Following the camp a team of 24 will be named to contest the Australian Interstate Championships at Moana, South Australia in January. Luke Chaffer who has represented the past two years was selected along with Anthea Warne and Joshua Jones. NSW Country for the first time will also have a team in the interstate with six male and six female competitors, no youth team members this time. Nominations for this team close on December 10. Members competed at three carnivals last weekend. Our younger members represented us on Saturday at Fastest on Sand at Coolangatta.

Evie Clarkson won the 11 yrs sprint. The 12 yrs girls team of Poppy Burdekin, Kloe Mills, Holly Poole and Laina Mostert were also successful. Second placings went to Stirling Crawford in the 14 yrs boys flags and sprint, as did the 11 yrs girls relay team of Evie Clarkson, Molly Eddig, Grace Eddy and Claudia Arghyros, with other placing down to sixth. Cudgen were placed 10th of the 28 clubs in the point score. Our team at the Coolum “Summer of Surf” series last weekend had some encouraging results against the best in Australia. The men’s’ board relay team of Scott McCartney, Luke Chaffer and Angus McPhail won defeating the “big gun” Qld clubs. Whilst the ‘B’ team of Josh Jones, Rory Matthews and

Jayden Mandell were sixth. In the board final Scott McCartney placed fourth and moves up the point score table after placing eighth at Queenscliff. Anthea Warne who is under 17 finished 11th in the open female surf, finishing in front of several prominent Iron Woman competitors. The Male Taplin relay although 14th were the second NSW team in behind Newport. At the FNC Branch Carnival at Byron Bay competitor numbers were down and our girls team dominated in all their events. In age and open events Shaylla Young won seven races and two team events with Chloe Jones. Hayley Smith recorded five first and teamed with Sophie Watson for the under 17 s board rescue. In the under 19s and open Baily Copeland won the surf races. The under 15s boys surf went to Joseph Warne who with Brodie Copeland won the board rescue. The boys flags won by Stirling Crawford and girls by Tamsin Bell. Many placings in the girls were gained by Maddy Crawley, Sophie Watson, Mia Taylor, Chloe Jones and Claudia

Tapped in to the waves

With Terry Tappa’ Teece THE AUSTRALIAN Adaptive Surfing Team is off again to the World Adaptive Surfing Championships in San Diego this week. They prefer the term Adaptive rather than disabled, as these legends adapt to the disabilities life has dealt them, and get out there and surf, most to a very high standard. Byron surfer, Mark “Mono” Stewart is the current World Champion, and will once again be looking to defend his crown. Local surfer Mark Savage is also stoked to be going to his first ever World Titles. Mark lost his leg after being hit by a car as a young bloke, but is out in the water all the time, and has a special surfing leg he uses specifically for getting amongst the waves. “This is a dream come true” said Mark when I had a yarn to the landscaper gardener last week, “I never thought I would be off to the US to compete, but here I am off to my first World Titles. I’m stoked with all the support and sponsorship I have received to get me there.” Best of luck to the team, and if you think you are having a bad day in the water, watch these guys surf, you will pull your head in and see exactly how lucky you are, and how good these guys are.

The World Tour has seen a big shake up with two events dropped off the schedule, and two new ones added for 2018. In a big disappointment for me, Fiji will be taken off the tour along with Trestles event in the US. Fiji will be replaced by an event at at Keramas in Bali, and Trestle removed for the first ever man made surfing event at the Kelly Slater wave pool in California. “Based on the results of our test event this year and the feedback from surfers training at the facility throughout the season, next September’s event has the potential to be something special for both surfers and fans,” Sophie Goldschmidt, WSL CEO, said. “We’re only scratching the surface of how this technology can be applied and it is completely game-changing for the sport.” “It’s incredible what the WSL and KSWC teams have developed at Surf Ranch over the past year and California’s Central Valley now boasts a world-class wave,” Kieren Perrow, WSL Commissioner, said. “This technology, and its ability to deliver high-quality waves at any location in the world, opens so many possibilities for how we can complement and evolve the competitive experience.” I remember as a young grommet in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s reading stories in the paper where Peter Drouyn (Who has now gone back to his original name after becoming Westerly Windina- including gender reassignment surgery) had patented wave pool technology in 1979, and proclaimed that’s where the future of surfing will be. Well the man who invented man on man surfing, has been proven right yet again. The patent has long expired, but Drouyn was most upset when the Slater Surf Ranch was created, feeling as though he was ripped off again. Well it will be an exciting time, and will be pretty awesome to see how this event works… No problems with wind or swell, it will start on time, finish on time and will be made for broadcast TV world wide. As Drouyn predicted, this will open surfing up to the masses.

Crawford. The Inter-Branch team will have a training session at our beach this Saturday afternoon and the ‘nippers’ have a twilight session from 3-5 pm as our Annual Carnival will be held on Sunday. To date entries have been received from Palm Beach, North Burleigh, Southport, Coolangatta, Rainbow Bay and Elliot Heads and post entries will be accepted. Members are asked to report at 6am to set up the carnival areas. Report time for competitors is 8.30am for a 9am start. Post carnival the Branch team will meet for briefing on transport, accommodation and receive their uniform for the Inter-Branch at Stockton on 9th – 10th December. Peter and Val Connell travel to New Zealand this weekend and will officiate at the International Surf Rescue Carnival at Mount Maunganui. The Old Boys Association will hold their Christmas meeting at the Riverview Hotel this Saturday at 2.30pm for 3pm. Past members and supporters are welcome to attend and join,

Perfect sailing conditions last Sunday Coast Corsair Class Championship, contested by seven boats sailed by 21 crew. The fleet was very competitive with five boats taking turns at the lead. Finishing first in a very close race with good performances was “Keenas” (Mark Reynolds, Craig Foley and Taj Krasna) and second was “Minnow” (Bill Fenelon, Jessie Normans and Max Hennessey). Keenas was in fifth place at the start of the last lap, but won by 24 seconds ahead of “Minnow” at the finish. Third place, one minute behind was “Epic” (Peter Skinner, James Nicholas and Caspian Nicholas). After nearly two hours racing the seventh Corsair finished only ten minutes behind the winner. Two NS14’s and six single hander’s competed for points in the Clubs Summer Pointscore series, with four Lasers, one Impulses and one “X3 class” racing. Winning this division with his best performance ever, experienced master sailor John Heywood, led this fleet from start to finish in Laser “Silent Partner” beating second place by two

minutes NS14 “Zarzan” (Adam Hurt and Tom Busbridge) and third place Laser “Siesta” Gary McCrohan, 18 seconds behind Adam. A great turnout this weekend from our female sailors with Skippers, Monique Smith, Alison Blatcher both steering Corsairs and Kate Yeoman skipper on her Laser. Crewing in the fleet, Deb Flannery, Olivia Howard, Marg Walgers, Karen Vidler, Jessie Normans, Tamara Sheppard, Jana McGeachy, and Kirby Edwards on Corsairs, and junior sailor and Saffron Cook on the Weta. Juniors also sailed on the racing boats, with Fingal locals Taj Krasna and Max Hennessey and Caspian Nicholas crewing on Corsairs, Kynan Luescher and Tom Busbridge crewing on NS14s. The Tweed Valley Sailing Clubs next event is next Sunday, Juniors Sailing starting at 9am and club racing at 12pm. Next weeks racing will feature the North Coast NS14 Class Championship.

Brett boxes his way to victory in tough bout

MURWILLUMBAH LOCAL Bretto “The Blessed Brawler” Jacobsen, 44, has secured his first championship belt in boxing, taking out the Masters Light Heavy Weight (LHW) Interstate (Qld/NSW) Boxing Title after he defeated Sunshine Coast boxer Paul Hollinger on Saturday, November 18. The boxing match was part of the Collision Course Fight Night hosted by the Kingscliff Boxing Stables at the Seagulls Leagues Club. Hollinger is the Australian LHW Masters Champion in two promotions and it was a gruelling back and forth battle between the two fighters who both showed good form. Bretto, fighting up a weight class, got the final nod from the judges via a split decision against the bigger, taller/rangier, slightly younger, more experienced Hollinger. Bretto said he was also extremely proud to have his 11-yearold son Seth Jacobsen and good mate and training partner Boston Caines in his corner. Brett is the head coach/owner of Triune MMA and Boxing in Murwillumbah. “I started training mixed martial arts (MMA) and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at 38 years old to shed a few kilos and shortly thereafter started fighting in MMA,” he said. Bretto had a number of Pro MMA fights and fought for two Australian MMA Titles in two different weight divisions coming up short in both against opponents half his age. “In my last MMA title fight my opponent was only 21 years old and I’d been married for 23 years,” he said. “The win on the weekend saw me finally take home a championship belt and all in another sport, boxing. Over the last two years I’ve ventured more into boxing along with MMA and still have a passion for getting into the ring.” There has already been talk about a rematch between Brett and Paul early next year with an Australian Masters Title on the line. At Triune, Bretto runs classes in MMA, Boxing, Brazilian

PARALYMPIAN AND multiple world champion Bill Chaffey made his season debut at Tweed Valley Triathletes racing on Saturday, November 18, and produced his trademark speed. On another wet morning at Tweed Regional Aquatic Centre Murwillumbah, Chaffey was slick in each leg of the 400m swim, 24km cycle and 4km run course. His time of 46 minutes and two seconds was not far outside the season-best time set by Andrew O’Brien, despite the altered course’s great emphasis on cycling this year. Chaffey unleashed another quick run course time of 11 minutes and 13 seconds to lead home the Senior race field.

Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), kick boxing and fitness for all ages six year sand up. Although most people who train with him do so for fitness, fun and self-defence, he has a fight team who are gearing up for both MMA and boxing matches early in 2018 and some of them have already competed. “I offer a free trial class to anyone who is interested,” he said. To find out more about Triune and getting fit give Bretto a call on 0411 097 776 or visit his website www.triunemma. com or follow his progress via www.facebook.com/ blessedbrawler.

Behind him, regular point score finisher Brett Quantrill set his quickest time of the season (56:01) to cross the line in second and pick up the main points for the Seniors. Craig Hoddinott, Grace Edwards and Dean Cranney picked up the points for the minor placings. Edwards produced an impressive run to be fourth across the line. Kai Davis was quickest in the Intermediate Male race and claimed line honours, getting away to a stunning start with a 4:31 swim. Logan Smith, Kyle Allsop and Kyle Prestwich took the minor placings, after Prestwich matched Davis in the cycle and run. It was a similar story in Intermediate Females, as Lilly MacDonald recorded a win and the quickest time. Second-placed Heidi Chaffey and thirdplaced Tania Penrose continued their regular appearances in the points, joined this week by fourth-placed Elisha Dejong. Racing continues with a long race event at TRAC Murwillumbah this Saturday, November 25 from 5.45am.

Tweed United needs volunteers TWEED UNITED Football Club is seeking volunteers to fill a number of roles ahead of the 2018 season. Among the vacant positions is Treasurer on the Executive Committee, along with a number of roles on the SubCommittee, including Junior Co-ordinator, Competition Age Co-ordinator, Senior Men’s Co-ordinator, Senior Women’s Co-ordinator, Referee Co-ordinator and more. “Year in year out there are minimal people assisting at our club to ensure you or your child has a local club to play for,” the club said in a statement. “Every year these same volunteers become tired, run down and drained because six or seven people, usually the Executive Committee, are doing the job of 10 to 12 people. The Executive Committee often volunteer to fulfil multiple roles just to keep the club going.” These are exciting times for Tweed United, with the club having entered into a partnership with A-League side Brisbane Roar as part of an Academy Preparation Centre designed to develop talented players from under seven to under 12. Tweed United junior players have also been invited to play on the Suncorp Stadium turf at half-time at the Roar’s games. The Roar also hosted a trial day at Tweed United on November 12. The club is also holding trials for its under 18s boys teams, with the next and final trial scheduled to take place on Wednesday, November 29 at 7330pm. To register visit https://tweedunitedfc.eventsmart.com/events/2018-jpldiv-1-u18/ Anyone interested in volunteering with the club can call Vice President Tom Sutton on 0432 264 353 or Secretary Angie Sullivan on 0410 690 402, or alternatively email tweedsoccer@hotmail.com. In other local soccer news, Kingscliff Wolves will commence pre-season training on Thursday, December 7 at 7.30pm.

TIPS FROM THE RANGE

with Graeme Trew

Chipping Many golfers struggle with a small shot from just off the green, electing to putt instead. There are many ways to chip from within 5 meters of the green, however the easiest way is to take a 7 and use it like a putter. 1. Take your putting grip 2. Place the ball in the exact position you would for putting. 3. Take a few practice putting strokes beside the ball first to get a feel for the grass, making sure you are only brushing the grass. 4. Then go ahead and putt with your 7 iron. 5. If the ball is going too far you may be using too much wrist, so you can take a 9 iron, eliminate the wrist or make a smaller stroke. 6. For a longer running chip maybe try a 5 iron or a hybrid club.

Photos by Adam Busbridge Words by Bill Fenelon TWEED VALLEY Sailing Club conducted its third race of the Summer Series with a superb afternoon sailing on the Tweed River. 16 boats, sailed by 33 crew, enjoyed the afternoon and sailed in a moderate South Easterly breeze blowing at 15 knots, making enjoyable fast racing. A fast ebbing tide added to the problems the crews faced and local knowledge of the river helped the winners get in front. Fastest around the course again was Hobie 16 “Sledder” (Dave Chester and Isaac Poulsen). Dave’s making a habit of being the fastest boat and hasn’t been beaten for over a year. The Multihull’s were also racing in Heat 2 of their Summer Championship series, with the bullet going to “Sledder” and second place to Weta “Scored a Tri” (John Cook and Saffron Cook) The big race was Heat 2 of the North
