THE TWEED Heads Chamber of Commerce will host the 2016 Tweed Shire Council ‘Meet the Candidates’ forum at Tweed Heads Bowls Club on Tuesday, August 9, from 6.30am for a 7am start.

The forum will allow all candidates to express their views on a range of topics and challenges facing the Tweed.

Newly appointed Tweed Heads Chamber of Commerce president Matthew Fraser said the re-appointed Chamber members were also keen to hear each candidate’s vision and commitment to the business community.

“Which should entail a focus on encouragement of new business to the area, expansion of existing Tweed business, improvement of infrastructure, local and international tourism including major events, protecting our environmental assets and sustainable community creation,” Mr Fraser said.

“As the Tweed Shire is not a region of mining or big industry we rely heavily on our tourism, agriculture and

services industries. Candidates should be active in pursuing initiatives to create more employment and championing the Tweed business sector for the benefit of all residents.”

Mr Fraser went on to say the Chamber acknowledges the personal sacrifice, commitment and dedication one must have to our region as a Councillor.

“The lowly paid $18,000 per year position is one peformed from the belief in community service rather than financial reward, wanting to help others rather than self-accolades,” he said.

“Thank you to those Candidates who will bravely open their life to public scrutiny to run for Local Government.

Good luck on the Election Day and we look forward building a great working relationship with you all.”

Meet The Candidates Forum - Tweed Heads Bowls Club, Tuesday August 9, 6.30am for 7am start, $25 entry including breakfast.

CONGRATULATIONS

*Redeemable for 1 month from publication date

I am writing to share my thoughts on the conversion of the Murwillumbah Train Centre into a homeless shelter for those less fortunate. I believe such a conversion would be a remarkable step in the right direction in regards to helping those of low socio-economic status get back on their feet. I am a 21-year-old student who has grown up in this beautiful town.

Over the years I have noticed the growing population of those sleeping on the streets. I am aware that many programs have already been implemented into our small community to help out those that are less fortunate.

However current programs mostly address the need for food and warmth only, but no current program provides shelter for the homeless. A shelter provides warmth, security and a sense of being part of a larger community.

I believe with the proposed idea of converting the former Murwillumbah Train Station into a homeless shelter is the final piece of the puzzle in providing the homeless of Murwillumbah with the basic needs, which will be crucial in aiding them to rebuild their lives and fit back into mainstream society. The only hindrance to the proposition I foresee is the location of the train station in relation to Tweed Valley Way. This road can become extremely busy therefore extra traffic control and pedestrian accessibility will need to be created to allow access to any form of shelter at this location.

Benjamin Harris, Murwillumbah

What a big hearted idea

So please consider the building to become very useful. It would help the Police and our community.

Thank you for considering the building for a good course.

We all want to support these deserving people as we all feel they deserve a new start in life as we all become lost in some stages of lives it’s nice to have someone that understands our situation and are willing to help a good course and I feel the location is in a good position for a Homeless Centre.

Pamela O’Brien, Tweed Heads

Don’t abandon train hub Firstly, Murwillumbah Station’s role as a transport hub should not be abandoned. Irrespective of precise future use; it is a rare access facility for visitors and travellers that would be impossible to replicate elsewhere in the town. Keep the drive through vehicle bays and adjacent parking. Fix the currently woeful pedestrian accessibility between popular Budd Park and the railway station. Secondly look at the site’s tourism springboard potential and examine possible synergies with its surroundings.

The NPWS Caldera gateway. The Alma St bus-stop/shelter, the Budd Park picnic area & bikeway.

The Alma Park river cruise jetty.

The Riverview Hotel. The cane barge & ferry history. relics.

The new cycle way direct to the Tweed Regional Art Gallery.

The town’s art-deco heritage buildings. Can these experiences be linked? Enabled? Packaged?

Thirdly, develop the site’s primary value as the northern terminus of the future M’bahCasino Rail Trail, and an interim interchange for an initial M’bahCrabbes Ck sector, which can then easily link to Tweed’s coastal bikeway via the lightly trafficked Wooyung Rd. The foreshore ride north from there through coastal villages is delightful. Joining the Tweed River ferry back to M’bah at the Tweed Heads southern boat harbour would close the loop of a most enjoyable active visitor experience. It’s inevitable popularity and economic stimulus would drive eventual completion of the rail trail to Casino in years to come.

I feel that the Train Station is a wonderful idea to turn a beautiful icon building into support for the Homeless. It can have a kitchen, drop in centre and sleeping area etc. That would help a lot of people get their life’s back on track as there are people out there which have a good insight to life.

There are people that need guidance from people who are capable to help them get their life back on track with even getting educated and even getting a job to make them feel like they are a somebody as they have a heart and feeling too. They deserve a roof over their head and food

Works to start on Tyalgum’s activity space and new skatepark WORKS ARE expected to commence soon on the new Tyalgum Activity Space Project which will see a new adventure playground and small skate park constructed by the end of 2016.

The joint funded initiative was split between Tweed Shire Council ($22,310) and Federal Government funding from Labor Richmond MP Justine Elliot ($20,000).

Local MP Justine Elliot said that Tweed Shire Council will receive the federal government funds for the project under the Stronger Communities Programme.

“I congratulate Tweed Shire Council on this important project. The Council will contribute to the federal funding of $20,000 bringing the total value of the project to $42,310 for the Tyalgum Activity Space project,” she said.

“This project will see industry standard high quality skate equipment replace the existing make-shift facilities.

“The Tyalgum Activity Space Project at the Memorial Park Tyalgum was identified

in the Tweed Shire Councils Youth Strategy and Action Plan 2013-2017. This recognised the youth of Tyalgum had limited community facilities and no access to public transport. It was felt the Tyalgum Activity Space Project was a necessary investment in local infrastructure adding value to the Memorial Park re-development whilst addressing those imbalances for the local youth.

“Our local Stronger Communities Programme delivers funding across the Richmond electorate for small capital grants supporting projects that will It’s fabulous! It’s will contribute to the vibrancy and viability of beautify the village drawing our region.

As well as support from Tweed Shire Council, the push to redevelop Tyalgum’s family park was also from Tyalgum’s Community Consultation Group.

What does the new Tyalgum Activity Space mean to the local community?

It’s fantastic what can be achieved with council and community working together, said Gyrin Gyrfalcon (Tyalgum District Community Association)

This project is proof that collaboration and co-operation between community and council can produce mutually beneficial outcomes, said Peter Bennett (Tyalgum Community Consultation Group)

Because we have such amazing scenery the park will add to that beauty. The next step is eco tourism, said Gabrielle Schenk (Tyalgum Land Care)

The important thing about this project was the effort put in by Tyalgum’s tight knit group to achieve this project together. Developing the idea together and working together to see the idea realised. Thank you to everyone involved in helping make this happen.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! What does an Executor execute?

We’ve heard about people being Executors of an Estate, but what do they actually execute?

Lawyer Tony Mitchell, an expert in the field at Stacks Law Firm, explains: “The Executor is the person who you nominate in your Will to be in charge of the administration of your estate after you die. Often, the Executor will be a family member or a trusted advisor.”

But it can be a complicated task and Mr Mitchell advises before appointing someone to be your Executor you should confirm they are prepared to fulfill the role.

Some of the important duties of an Executor include: Locating your original signed Will, know what it says and ensure it is kept safe.

The Executor makes arrangements for the funeral, either in accordance with your wishes as expressed in the Will or with your family’s wishes. Sometimes the Will is not read until after the funeral so if you have particular wishes concerning your funeral you should let your executor know before you die.

At the appropriate time, the Executor must discuss your Will with your family members, and provide beneficiaries with a copy of your Will.

As soon as possible after your death, your Executor must identify, and take steps to safeguard, the assets of your Estate. For example, insurance policies relating to your assets should be checked to make sure they do not accidently expire, valuables such as jewellery and cash should be collected and motor vehicles secured.

A detailed list of all of your assets and debts should be prepared.

Your Executor may be responsible for obtaining a Grant of Probate (a document issued by the Court which authorises asset holders such as banks to deal with your assets as your Executor directs) of your estate. This will usually be so if your estate includes land or significant bank deposits or share portfolios. A lawyer is usually engaged to assist with this.

Your Executor must ensure that your debts are paid, and any legacies are paid to those nominated in your Will.

Your Executor must ensure that a tax return to the date of your death, and a tax return for your estate, is lodged with the ATO, and any assessed tax paid.

Finally, your Executor must prepare financial accounts for your estate and attend to distribution of the balance of your Estate to your nominated residuary beneficiaries.

“You’re the best” Mrs Brooks calls time on sterling career

ONE of the region’s most passionate and inspiring music teachers Beth Brooks has announced her retirement at the end of the 2016 school year.

Mrs Brookes has spent the past 23 years at Murwillumbah East Primary School where as a passionate music teacher she’s taught students the value of the arts.

Born and raised in Sydney, Mrs Brooks attended the Sydney Conservatorium of Music before in 1974 she was appointed to Parkes High School as a music teacher.

In 1975 she was transferred to Orange High School where she met her husband Colin at Orange High and they married in 1976 in Orange. Mrs Brooks left full-time teaching in 1977 to have a family.

“We now have four adult children and eight grandchildren who are the greatest joy to me and my family is the most important thing in my life,” she said.

Mrs Brooks moved from Orange to Murwillumbah to the Brooks family farm at Kynnumboon in the late 70s, where she would return to part-time teaching.

“I returned as a specialist music teacher this time in primary schools,” she said.

“Teaching at Mt St Patrick Primary school, Tyalgum Primary and in 1993 I started at Murwillumbah East Primary School from where I will retire at the end of this year.”

Mrs Brooks said she has “really loved teaching at East and after 23 years I am really going to miss the wonderful staff and students”.

“One of the great rewards of teaching is to have your students tell you that you are “the best” or “that was so much fun”,” she said.

“Likewise, when ex-students tell you how much they enjoyed their time with you and in many cases I am now teaching the children of those ex-students.

“One of the highlights in my life was being part of the choir at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.”

Mrs Brooks was also named Tweed Citizen of the Year in 2002 and she has also been awarded a NSW Government community service award.

“I have been the accompanist for the Murwillumbah Philharmonic Choir for over 30 years and also have been an organist and chorister for The Sacred Heart parish.

“I have been a Royal Academy of Dance pianist for more than 20 years and as well official accompanist for the Murwillumbah Festival of Performing Arts.”

An interesting fact about Mr Brooks is she recently taught piano and singing privately to many students one of whom recently performed on the “Voice” and as a soloist at the Schools Spectacular in Sydney.

“I became a music teacher to inspire and nurture a love of music in young people and to bring joy to others through performance,” she said.

“I am passionate about musicals and the stage, and we have done productions at East every two years.

“This year the infant’s children are performing “A Blunder Down Under” and the primary students are performing “Ali Baba” and these shows will be performed at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre on Wednesday August 10 at 10.30am and Thursday August 11 commencing at 6pm.

“While at East my students have performed at the Primary Choral concerts at the Opera House in Sydney as well as the Schools Spectacular” Mrs Brooks said she hopes to spend time with her grandchildren as well as her many pets.

“For relaxation I like nothing better than reading a good book or knitting for the grandchildren in the company of my pet cat Vo Vo and my two miniature foxes, Bess and Charlie all vying for my attention,” she said.

“In retirement I plan to do voluntary work to give back to the community, to do some travelling, to spend more time with my family and enjoy a coffee with friends.”

As her final message to the community Mrs Brooks said: “Thank you for the music and all the wonderful memories which I will cherish forever.”

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Cane burning complaints on the rise as debate sparks A CONSIDERABLE push has been on towards finding a new and economically sustainable way to separate trash (leaves) from NSW cane that could someday signal an end to cane burning.

But in the meantime, several locals continue to call for a reprieve from what many Tweed Valley farmers see as a crucial harvesting practice.

To learn more about cane burning, The Weekly spoke with Sunshine Sugar CEO Chris Connors, who defended to rights of NSW cane farmers to burn but also acknowledged the need for a longer term solution as well as acknowledging those residents impacted by the cane burning process.

“Every year, during the harvest season, the NSW sugar industry receives enquiries and some complaints in relation to smoke and ash from cane fires,” he said.

“Principally the complaints are in relation to air pollution, and the nuisance that the ash causes – such as on washing on the line and in swimming pools. The question is often asked, ‘Why do you still burn at all?’

“In Queensland 70 per cent of the crop is harvested “green” (i.e. not burnt before harvest) while in NSW burning of cane

prior to harvest is still common practice.

This has been interpreted by many in the community that harvesting the cane green is suitable for the whole of the Australian sugar industry and that in NSW the industry continues to burn cane because it doesn’t care. This is not the case.

“This issue is complex, and there is no simple solution.

“The cane growing areas in NSW are the furthest south in Australia and the climate is cooler and wetter than in Queensland.

“As a result of the good soils and growing conditions, NSW cane is high yielding, carries a heavier trash (overgrowth) load and is usually sprawled or fallen over.

“When such crops are harvested green the very thick trash blanket left on the soil surface has been proven to have a significant negative impact on productivity because soil temperatures are lowered which inhibits re-growth (ratooning) of the cane crop.

“Burning of cane prior to harvest therefore remains an essential part of the process and cane farmers have the legal right to burn cane. Burning of cane falls under the provisions of the Rural Fires Act 1997 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.”

• Sugar cane field burning is carried out before harvesting the cane to make the process easier and require less manual labor.

• In the burning process, the field is set fire to and the leaves are burned off of the stalks.

• About 80 per cent of the “trash,” including straw, the tops, and green and dry leaves are burned off. These components constitute about 25 per cent of the entire sugar cane stalk.

• The burning kills microorganisms and burns the trash, both of which keep the soil rich when left in the fields.

Research and technology could hold the answer

SEVERAL Tweed farmers have found ways to repurpose sugar cane trash through mulch and other methods as seen on ABC Rural, but while the economics of the harvesting process in NSW continues to lean towards burning - farmers are forced to stay the course.

Sunshine Sugar CEO Chris Connors said the sugar industry is committed to finding a long term economically sustainable solution.

“The sugar industry recognises that smoke and ash from cane burning can be a nuisance and care is taken to minimise community impacts,” Mr Connors said.

“The sugar industry is committed to finding a long term economically sustainable solution.

Significant investment and research has already gone into finding a solution.

Investment in the biggest renewable electricity power stations in Australia located at Broadwater and Condong at a cost of $220m was expected to address this issue.

“Considerable investment was also made by the growing and harvesting sectors.

The idea was to harvest the whole crop (cane and leaf) and utilise the additional fibre collected as fuel for the boilers.

“Despite five years of effort the economics did not stack up and we had to return to the practice of burning cane before harvest.

“This does not mean that we have given up on finding an alternative economic solution to cane burning.

“A tremendous amount of research has already been done and a number of critical areas have been identified that need to be resolved if whole of crop harvesting is going to succeed.

“One of the major hurdles is in finding an economic solution to separating the trash from the cane. Once the trash has been separated from the cane it can then be put to an alternative highest and best economic use.

“Sunshine Sugar in partnership with the Queensland University of Technology and Sugar Research Australia is involved in a $1.25 million project to test and prove a mechanical trash separation system. Field testing is expected to commence from July 2017.

“In keeping with our continuous improvement approach our industry always seeks a better way. Efforts to resolve the burning question have intensified on all fronts - growing, harvesting, transport and milling and will continue. We are confident that we will find a solution and in the interim we will continue to use our best endeavours to ensure that this critical part of the operation has a minimal impact on the community.”

Varela and Swift Pharmacy Toni given surprise triple winner at BEATS Awards award by local MP MURWILLUMBAH LOCAL business Varela and Swift Pharmacy has taken a trifecta of awards during the 2016 Business Excellence Awards Tweed Shire Gala Awards night on Saturday, July 30.

The pharmacy was named winners of the 2016 Best Business, winner of the Tweed Valley Weekly People’s Choice Award and the Employer of Choice Award.

Varela and Swift Pharmacy owners Con Varela and Skye Swift (pictured below) said they had no idea about the awards and were thrilled to take out the three awards this year.

Skye later told The Weekly that taking time with her written submission to the BEATS judging panel had helped her. “ BEATS Awards coordinator Natascha Wernick said: “I think the vibe in the room, the shouts of delight and the huge smiles on the winners faces really told the story about what a great night everybody had.”

Popular local chef Jonathon Evans from Ju Ju’s Café in Murwillumbah prepared yet another sensational three course meal and the intervals were full of laughter,

networking and dancing on the red carpet.

The entertainment line-up showcased the diversity of Tweed Shire talent with Lissy Stanton, Asta “That Hula Hoop Girl”, HighTide and Brother Norton all performing to a cheering and appreciative audience.

Mrs Wernick said the Murwillumbah Civic Centre was transformed into a blue lagoon elegant setting complete with a crystal chandelier adorning the ceiling.

“Recipients of the awards stood grinning in front of a sequinned audience of two hundred and twenty business leaders and special guests,” she said.

The crowds were kept entertained by guest comedy MC “Lady Shiraz” (aka Marlena Sue Basser) as she bedazzled the stage with MC Toni Zuschke and champagne sequinned hostess Natascha Wernick.

“The MC’s were hilarious and kept the awards running smoothly and succinctly as the energy in the room gradually rose through the evening and peaking with the announcement of Best Business - Varela and Swift Pharmacy,” Mrs Wernick said.

Check out the full coverage including all the photos and list of winners in The Weekly special BEATS Awards feature on Pages 10-11.

MURWILLUMBAH identity Toni Zuschke was lost for words when confronted with a special surprise award by member for Lismore Thomas George MP. Mrs Zuschke recieved the NSW Premiers Award recognising Toni’s contribution to the Tweed Shire community over the last twenty years.

“This prestigious Award came as a total shock to me, up on the stage, but I feel very humbled, honoured and valued,” she said.

“I love my community so serving them and being part of them is a privilege.

“The Gala event was a total success with many messages of congratulations flowing freely. It is great to be recognised in this way and it was a huge amount of fun dressing up and stepping out with our vibrant business community.

The BEATS coordinators Toni and Natascha Wernick both said: “It is a night where Businesses of the Tweed have the opportunity to shine, feel cherished and be rewarded for all their hard work. Congratulations to all of the finalists and winners. Well done and thank you to all of the people behind the scenes that made it a seamless sensational night to remember.”

Bird gazing hotspots revealed THE NSW Government has released a map and report titled “Tweed Bird Walks” highlighting several ideal locations to gaze at our feathered friends.

The report said many species of birds were found at the northern or southern end of the Tweed Caldera and extents of their range.

The brochure has been produced by Bird Life Northern Rivers and Tweed Shire Council, which outlines selected sites to provide bird enthusiasts with an opportunity to enjoy the unique Tweed Valley.

Among the best spots includes Kingscliff, Hastings Point and Pottsville on the coast and Doon Doon, the

Wollumbin National Park and further west.

“The Tweed Caldera is one of the world’s largest and best examples of a caldera formed by the erosion of an extinct volcano,” the report reads.

“The volcano’s original plug, Wollumbin-Mount Warning, sits at the centre of the caldera, with a roughly circular outer rim formed by the escarpment walls of the McPherson and Border Ranges.

“The Tweed Caldera has an exceptionally high biodiversity, supporting a huge number of plant and animal species. Fertile soils, the climate and latitude all contribute to this biodiversity, with the area able support temperate and sub-tropical species.”

The diversity of habitat in this region, covering coastal and inland areas, is reflected in its birdlife.

The endangered Regent Honeyeater, Crested Bellbird (pictured), Hall’s Babbler, and the elusive Chestnut-breasted Quail-thrush all occur in the woodlands around the region. You will also find populations of the Logrunner, Regent Bowerbird and Eastern Bristlebird a bit closer to the coast in this area.

Tiny house competition opens for future designs

IMAGINE a sustainable house that can bring the ability to live debt-free, with utility bills as low as $10 a month.

It’s not just a dream - the tiny house movement is a reality and more Australians are adopting it as a means of achieving freedom from debt, minimal environmental impact, and the opportunity to live simply.

For that reason, the focus for the Northern Rivers Sustainable House Day Design Competition this year is Tiny Homes. The competition is now open to residents, architects, designers and young people in the Northern Rivers.

More than $5,000 in cash and prizes is up for grabs over three design categories: Tiny Homes - A Pocket Neighbourhood, A Tiny Home and A Teeny Tiny Home.

“A tiny home has a footprint far smaller than a traditional home and is sustainable in the sense that we have only used as much room as we need and as little building materials as possible. Add simple design criteria with creative and talented local designers and we should have a fantastic array of designs to choose from,” Council’s Program Leader-Sustainability, Debbie Firestone, said.

The competition has attracted more than 80 entries in previous years, with those designs viewed by over 1500 people. This year’s will be on show at the Tweed Home Expo at Seagulls Club on Saturday 3 September from 9am - 2pm.

Salt Bar up for leasehold EXRESSIONS of interest have gone out for the leasehold on Salt Bar, which is an absolute beachfront bar and restaurant that is the legacy of late developer Brian Ray. The leasehold, according to hotel and bar industry news source The Shout, is being taken to market by Ray White Hotels on behalf of the (Brian) Ray Family.

The 1,883sqm Salt Bar opened in December 2004 as the central hub for Brian Ray’s $1 billion Salt Village community, which is now home to more than 500 homes and three beachfront resorts with a total of 650 keys, providing a solid yearround trade for the venue.

Salt Bar Beachbar and Bistro includes a main bar and bistro, sports bar with Keno and TAB, gaming lounge and bottle shop in the high growth Kingscliff region on the Tweed Coast.

Tom Ray of the Ray Group told The Shout that the decision to offer the Salt Bar leasehold was a strategic and transitional, albeit emotional, one - which would allow Ray Group to continue to build its core business in the commercial property development and investment sector.

Ray White Hotels managing director

Tony Bargwanna said market conditions for hotel assets were the best he had seen in a generation, with Salt Bar presenting as one of the most unique opportunities on the East Coast.

“There hasn’t been an absolute beachfront bar and bistro leasehold available for quite some time, and the fact that Salt Bar is an established business with a captive residential and holiday market adds significant appeal, as does the venue’s proximity to the Gold Coast and Byron Bay markets.” He said.

Ray White Hotels Asia Pacific Director Andrew Jolliffe said regional NSW was in the spotlight following a number of key transactions his office had presided over recently.

“I’m expecting national interest in this offering, given the very recent evidence of capital city hospitality groups acquiring businesses in key regional areas. The sale of The Balcony in Byron Bay to award winning hotelier Fraser Short, and Andrew Lazurus’ recent acquisition of the Exchange Hotel in Newcastle are two clear examples” he said.

Expressions of Interest close on Wednesday September 7, 2016 at 3pm.

Protest group calls for underpass Airport near miss ON SATURDAY July 30 a crowd gathered to protest council’s failure to install a koala underpass on Coronation Avenue, Pottsville.

In 2011, Tweed Shire Council received a $50,000 offset from the new Pottsville Medical Centre for cutting down koala food trees, the monies to be used for a koala crossing /underpass incorporated into new roadworks on Coronation Avenue.

Dave Norris from the Threatened Species Conservation Society (TSCS) said: “Coronation Ave is a key connection between Koala Beach, Pottsville Environmental Park and the Pottsville Wetlands. This linkage is vital to ensure koala gene diversity and combat inbreeding which leads to disease and death.”

“We have been waiting almost 5 years for this underpass.

The Pottsville Community Association and TSCS have been asking council for documentation and plans and only received them the day construction started, too late to provide effective feedback. Council stated they could not install the underpass as they would have to raise the road. TSCS research found that this was not the case.

“Mayor Katie Milne subsequently arranged a meeting with senior staff who revealed that with extra funding a 12.5 meter long underpass could have been incorporated however, it would cost $30,000 to hold up works. She is currently investigating the possibility of installing the underpass later.’’

Deputy Mayor Gary Bagnall said, “It’s atrocious that only $35,000 of the offset money is to be used instead for road signs and a vehicle slow point, which have proven

elsewhere not to work. Since council painted koala crossing signs on Clothiers Creek road 2 koalas have been killed.”

“The proposed Dunloe Park urban development (up to 6000 people) is likely to greatly increase traffic on an already very busy Coronation Avenue. How can endangered Tweed Coast koalas survive if council won’t install an underpass, especially when the next road upgrade is not expected for another 25 years?”

Council also argued that koala fencing would have to be on private land and costs were not covered (however most could be on council-owned road reserves); the culvert would not drain well; 1.2m high culverts don’t work for koalas and that koalas could traverse through town and rely on public protection alone.

According to Dr Steve Phillips, reknown koala expert “Council staff know that 1.2m x 1.2m culverts work for koala underpasses, especially with ledges to keep koalas dry. Specifically they have 6 years of monitoring data on an underpass with the same dimensions constructed on Skyline Drive, Lismore, that koalas are using. This would be perfect for Coronation Avenue.”

Local activist Menkit Prince said “Council receives Excellence in the Environment Awards and claims their Koala Plan of Management and tree-planting programs will save koalas yet won’t find funds to do what is so desperately needed for the endangered local koala population. The community strongly feel this is not good enough and demands that council install the underpass now.”

THE Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is investigating how and why two aircraft came within 152 metres of each other on July 21 at 3.32pm.

The report said an AirAsia plane was taking off from Gold Coast Airport at 11.42am and a Jetstar plane was descending when the two aircraft approached each other.

The AirAsia Airbus A330 was bound for Auckland, and the Jetstar Airbus A320 was arriving from Victoria’s Avalon Airport, near Geelong.

Alarms were believed to have been sounded in the cockpits of both planes. The ATSB commenced an investigation on July 26, and as part of the investigation, the ATSB will obtain air traffic control radar and audio information, interview the involved air traffic controllers and flight crews, and gather additional information.

“While these aircraft came closer than normal separation standards there was no risk of collision as the systems and the aircraft crews manoeuvred to avoid any further conflict,” the report read.

“At this stage the details of the occurrence are yet to be verified and are limited to the notifications provided by Airservices Australia, Jetstar and Air Asia X. “The ATSB will publicly release an update within the next few weeks on its investigation. The update will outline the facts as we know them at that time.”

“The flightpaths of the inbound Airbus A320 and the outbound Airbus A330 resulted in a loss of separation.

Both aircraft received a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) resolution advisory (RA), with the crew of the A320 conducting a climb to increase separation.”

A Jetstar spokesman said the pilots of the A320 had received clearance from air traffic control to descend.

“During descent the aircraft warning system alerted our pilots to another aircraft approaching our approved flight path,” he said. “Our pilots took corrective action to restore the safe distance between the two aircraft. The flight continued on to the Gold Coast and landed without further incident.

“It’s likely that most passengers would not have been aware of the incident. Our crew did a fantastic job and responded to the situation as they are trained to do. At all times they followed the instructions of air traffic control.”

A report from the ATSB is expected by July 2017.

Murwillumbah Courthouse and Police Station to remain

NATIONALS MEMBER for Lismore Thomas George MP has quashed rumours that the Murwillumbah Police Station and Murwillumbah Court House are at risk of closing in the near future.

“Contrary to statements on Facebook and local rumours circulating around Murwillumbah, I can unequivocally confirm that neither the Murwillumbah Police Station or Court House will be closing,” Mr George MP said.

“I am disappointed some people seem to be purposely creating unfounded worry in the community.”

Mr George MP was referring to recent social media posts claiming the Murwillumbah Police Station was set to close and operations shifted to Tweed Heads or Cudgen.

Recognition for Murwillumbah Birthing Unit well deserving

SINCE THE Murwillumbah Hospital’s Birthing Unit was re-opened in October 2015 to low risk and non-caesarean mothers-to-be, the service has now passed 70 babies born at the hospital.

While the Murwillumbah Birthing Unit came under intense scrutiny from the public for not offering a full-service birthing program, Friends of the Murwillumbah Birth Centre Rachel Bryant said the community was beginning to embrace the model of care lead by dedicated midwives.

Mrs Bryant said the efforts of the Murwillumbah team has been so good that the team was recently named Runners Up in the “Patients as Partners” award during the Northern NSW Local Health District’s (LHD) Quality Awards which took place in Yamba during late July.

“Our Collaboration as consumers with The Tweed Byron Health Service Group was acknowledged by the LHD when we received the Runner up Award in the Category “Patients as Partner,” Mrs Bryant said.

“As a result of the huge Community Pressure brought on by the “By pass” of birthing from Murwillumbah to Tweed Heads the LHD decided to engage with consumers, undertake the external risk

assessment and look at alternative models of care.

“The very transparent and open process was an excellent example of a collaborative approach between the TBHSG and their community to inform, consult and involve their consumers in Maternity Reforms.

“We continue the challenge to educate women in all birthing options available to them, be that, continuity of care for low risk or obstetric care for all risk, home birth or private midwives.

It has to be said that our LHD in NNSW is actually ahead in providing all those models of care to women but remembering not all hospitals can accommodate all models.”

Mrs Bryant said the team now hopes to see the same Continuity of Care model starting up at The Tweed Hospital later this year.

“Allowing more women again to gain the benefits of natural birthing and reducing the amount of medical interventions that lead to longer hospital stays,” she said.

YOU COULD HAVE A BALANCE OR VESTIBULAR DISORDER

T

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

Balance disorders are typically under diagnosed and undertreated.

More than 1/3 of adults aged 40 years and older experience vestibular dysfunction at some point in their lives.

Common symptoms of vestibular disorders include vertigo and dizziness. Vertigo is a spinning or whirling sensation, or an illusion of the self or world moving. Dizziness is a lightheaded, floating or rocking sensation. Poor balance, nausea, visual disturbances, headache, hearing loss, tinnitus, and pain or fullness in the ears can accompany vestibular ABOUT disorders.

disorders can be diagnosed by means of a thorough medical history and clinical examination. The most common type of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), and once diagnosed is easily treated with repositioning manoeuvres, with a success rate of 90%.

Another type of vertigo encountered is Cervicogenic Vertigo, which is due to a dysfunction in the neck. Again once diagnosed, it can be easily treated with Osteopathic intervention.

Outrage over census religion classification Murwillumbah

RELIGION WILL once again feature as a point of debate on next week’s Australia-wide survey as Tweed residents prepare for Tuesday (August 9) Census night.

Several people wrote to The Weekly recently to highlight their growing concerns with the new religion classifications including Tweed Heads resident Warren James who said the latest Census document “fails to make sense”.

“Some people are scratching their heads,” Mr James wrote.

“The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) ensure us the information that we provide is confidential, our names and addresses will not be published.

“However, most Aussies feel some responsibility towards the ‘Census

Household Form’ just as when voting at the three elections and referendums.”

Mr Warren said on the topic of religion there was an issue with the various churches eg Roman Catholic, Anglican (Church of England), Uniting Church are all Christian not as stated ‘religions’.

“They have always been called ‘denominations’ yet in the list of ten choices provided, three choices are religions including Buddhism, Islam and Hinduism,” he wrote.

“Should we all assume in the present age of NAPLAN Tests and continuing literacy concerns generation of Australians don’t know what ‘denomination’ means?”

Mr Warren said there was now a tendency, particularly with younger

people preferring not to be associated with ‘a church’ calling themselves ‘spiritual’ which is doubtlessly a broad term.

“Rather than ‘spiritual’ may I suggest those among the 75 per cent of us who declare themselves as ‘Christian’ describe themselves as such in the space provided as ‘other’.

“And maybe if the respondents and their families have been baptised at one of the Christian churches, then. they could ‘bite the bullet’ and declare themselves as such.

“I am annoyed the ABS would confuse the Christian churches as ‘religions’ in choice # 19 and as the other three religions are choices then Christianity needed to be a choice as well.”

Tennis court boost

LOCAL MP Justine Elliot this week announced that the Murwillumbah Tennis Club will receive $20,000 in federal funding for the replacement of the wire mesh court fencing under the Stronger Communities Programme.

“I congratulate the Murwillumbah Tennis Club on this important project. The Club will contribute to the federal funding of $20,000 bringing the total amount of the project to $62,260 for the court fencing.

“The replacement of the wire mesh court fencing will complete the Tennis Centres upgrade which has seen six courts upgraded and a state of the art lighting system installed over the last ten years. It is expected that the upgrades will encourage greater community use and an increase in club membership.

“Our local Stronger Communities Programme will deliver total funding of $150,000 across the Richmond electorate for small capital grants supporting projects that will contribute to the vibrancy and viability of our region.

“I’ll always fight to get our fair share from Canberra.

This funding is part of the more than $2 billion that I’ve Fest in which we were not associated with as organisers, delivered for local roads, schools, health and community resources,” Justine said. yet we have been unfairly linked with.

“Therefore, we believe the only smart business decision is to postpone the inaugural Tweed Valley Country Roots Fest until Oct 2017. We certainly understand that this decision is not ideal, nor is it made lightly.

“A postponement to 2017 does not deter us, it simply gives us extra preparation time and opportunities. More than ever, we are committed to making this the successful event we believe it will become.”

“In lieu of the 2016 Tweed Valley Country Roots Fest (and to show our ongoing commitment to the community), we are now holding a smaller free street concert in partnership with the Tweed Foodie Fest on the October long weekend 2016.

“This includes Kasey Chambers, Harry Hookey, Grizzlee Train, Bill Chambers and more.” (left to right) - Deputy Mayor Gary Bagnall, Expect more information to come in the following weeks.

Tweed Valley Country Roots Fest postponed

THE TWEED Valley Country Roots Fest has been postponed to 2017 to allow greater preparation time, according to the event organisers.

Everyone who purchased tickets to the 2016 Tweed Valley Country Roots Fest will be given a full refund and ticket holders will be directly contacted over the next week.

Veronica Chambers spoke with The Weekly last week and said it was the families’ passion and intent to bring a first class, sustainable music event to the spectacular Tweed Valley.

“We set out on this journey late last year (2015) and it has been an eventful and often difficult journey with many unforeseen obstacles,” she said.

“Although we have dealt with these situations as they’ve presented themselves, it has had a significant effect on our planning and implementation with sale of tickets being delayed by many months from our original plans.

“Many of these negative hurdles are a direct result from the financially failed 2015 Murwillumbah Country Roots

Tweed business shines at BEATS COME AND JOIN TWEED

THE BEATS Awards on Saturday night (July 30) saw a big collection of sequins and stars at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre and local business operators were out to celebrate and party.

There were winners and there were grinners, and sometimes they coincided.

There were roosters but no feather dusters.

Julie and I, for instance, won “best dressed” - that was a hoot.

We were impressed at repeated references to the beauty and value of the local environment and the need to protect it.

This is a sentiment that has, for many years, run right across the Tweed community and it was very evident and very vocal on Saturday night.

The focus on local produce and local talent at the BEATS awards was fantastic.

I was particularly thrilled, given where I work, to see so many local young people (whom I had seen develop and grow over time) performing.

We both felt very welcomed, and in some ways, at home.

Both Julie and I have, at various times (in other, earlier, lives) run small businesses. I have been involved in trade union activities, including a stint as President of the Trades and Labour Council at Lismore back in the 90s. I have also been an active member of a Chamber of Commerce. For the last eleven years I have held a senior leadership and management role in a public enterprise that employs more than 70 people in Murwillumbah.

We both know about the risks and rewards of being involved in business. We both know about the pressures of running a business enterprise. We both want to see a thriving business community in the

Kingscliff family given gongs KINGSCLIFF FAMILY Matt and Vanessa Luff’s new home has this week taken out two major gongs at the Master Builders Association (MBA) Excellence in Regional Building Awards.

“We were just thrilled when we got the news from our builders at G.J. Gardner Tweed Heads & Ballina,” Matt said. “What a wonderful thing to come home to.”

The Luff’s 4-bedroom home at Seaside Estate won the Best Bathroom under $25,000 category as well as the Best Kitchen under $25,000 for regional New South Wales.

The driving force behind the custom design, Vanessa, said her inspiration was ‘sophisticated barn-style by the sea.’

“We wanted something that was sleek and cross-industrial, maybe a little bit rustic, but still relaxed and comfortable for family life,” Vanessa said. “We think we achieved the visual appeal we were aiming for and obviously the judges thought so too.”

With the bold use of gunmetal greys and

moody charcoals contrasted with crisp whites and natural wood grains, Vanessa said the design was ‘a little braver than most’.

“We were fortunate that our builders, Peter and Caren Leotta (G.J. Gardner Tweed Heads & Ballina), were so accommodating of all our floor plan and design changes,” Vanessa said.

“We basically did a rough sketch of what we were thinking, with nothing in proportion, and said this is what we want.

“Peter and Caren didn’t blink an eye and came back to us with proper plans that were exactly what we had envisaged, for no extra.”

Matt and Vanessa’s home features polished concrete floors as well as handmade wooden bench tops and customcrafted concrete basins in the bathroom.

Vanessa said she loved working with interesting and eclectic materials and enjoyed every minute of the building and design process.

with Michael McNamara

Tweed Shire, so we see ourselves as friends of business in the Tweed.

It comes down to this: Is your real friend the person who tells you that your fly is undone, or that your dress is caught in your panties, or is it the person who smiles at you, pats you on the back and lets you walk out into the spotlight unaware?

I am the one who will tell you that your fly is undone, that your panties are caught, and in a sense, that is what I have done in a social/political dimension in the Tweed over the last few years. I have also proposed ways to ensure that it gets done up, that they get unstuck, and that it does not come undone or get caught again.

We are also strongly committed to the communities that make up the Tweed, and the community values and priorities that are repeatedly expressed whenever their opinions are sought. This commitment underpinned our efforts in 2012 to drive the “Close the Roads” actions in communities across the Tweed in relation to Coal Seam Gas. It has always annoyed me when the environment and business are put up as “one or the other” choices. At the same time, there is no business whose profits are so important that they outweigh the environmental values of the Tweed Valley.

There are so many opportunities arising, for example, through the growth in renewable energy technologies for businesses to reduce their impact and costs and at the same time increase their profits.

There are also lots of ways that new and emerging technologies could be taken up

by Council to keep downward pressure on our rates.

This will be my last “Talking local Politics” before the Council elections on 10 September.

You may, or may not, be surprised to learn that I intend to nominate for election as a Councillor at the elections.

Hope to see you back here after the election, whatever the result.

Tweed boom continues as land values rise THE MARCH 2016 edition of the Housing Industry Association (HIA)-CoreLogic Residential Land Report was released last week and it shows continued growth in the price of residential land for the Richmond-Tweed region.

In the six months to March 2016 Richmond-Tweed saw an increase in the median lot price by 7.7 per cent to $280,000. This is the second most expensive regional land value in the country with the Kimberly region in Western Australia the most expensive at $305,000.

The report also looked at land value per square metre due to the high variability of lot sizes throughout the country. The Richmond-Tweed area was the fourth most expensive regional area with a land value of $408 per square metre. The most expensive regional area was the Gold Coast ($551 per square metre), followed by Sunshine Coast ($433) and Kimberly ($422).

During the six months to March 2016, all but three of NSW’s ten regional land markets saw a reduction in sales compared with the same period a year earlier with RichmondTweed seeing a 23 per cent decrease in

the number of sales.

In regional markets, the volume of land transactions fell by some 14.0 per cent over the same 12-month period. Regional land sales peaked at just under 7,700 during the June 2014 quarter.

Throughout Australia the number of vacant residential lot sales fell by 1.3 per cent from the previous quarter, and were down by some 13.0 per cent compared with the same period 12 months earlier. This was accompanied by an increase of 1.2 per cent in the median land lot price over the quarter, with price growth estimated at 5.9 per cent over the previous year. Nationally, the median lot price hit yet another new all-time high with the weighted median price reaching $233,340 during the March 2016 quarter.

HIA Senior Economist, Shane Garrett said: “The value of residential land remains at record highs. This is a key source of affordability difficulties confronted by the many Australian families wishing to purchase their first home.

“Current arrangements around the funding and delivery of the infrastructure that services new housing are inadequate and

preventing the release of more affordable residential land stocks.

“As well as hurting ordinary families, the absence of comprehensive reform is paring back Australia’s future growth prospects.”

According to CoreLogic research director Tim Lawless, the moderation in the number of vacant land sales has been evident for some time.

“National land sales peaked during the June quarter of 2014 and have been trending lower since this time,” said Mr Lawless.

“The quarterly number of vacant land sales hasn’t been this low since the third quarter of 2012.

“It’s encouraging to see capital city land sales bucking the national trend with an increase of 3.4 per cent over the March 2016 quarter. However, despite the quarterly rise in sales, the number of transactions was still 12.3 per cent lower than in the March quarter of 2015.

“The fact that vacant land prices are still broadly rising on both a median price and rate per square metre measure, albeit at a reduced pace, at a time when transactions numbers are consistently trending lower sends a clear signal that demand for welllocated vacant land remains strong.”

Summary points for NSW • Residential land sales across regional New South Wales are estimated to have totalled 1,393 in the March 2016 quarter, a level that is some 20.9 per cent lower than in the previous quarter, and 19.4 per cent lower than a year earlier.

• During the six months to March 2016, all but three of NSW’s ten regional land markets saw reductions in turnover compared with the same period a year earlier.

• The only regions to record an annual increase in sales during the six months to March 2016 were the Northern NSW (+39.2 per cent), Central West (+22.5 per cent) and Murrumbidgee (+16.9 per cent) regions.

• Price developments in NSW’s regional residential land markets have been mixed. In annual terms, prices fell in six of the state’s ten regional markets: Northern NSW (-69.6 per cent); Illawarra (-7.3 per cent); North Western NSW (-3.3 per cent); Murray (-2.2 per cent); Mid-North Coast (-1.6 per cent); and the Hunter region (-0.5 per cent). The remarkably large fall registered in Northern NSW needs to be interpreted with caution as it is likely due to one-off sampling effects.

• Over the same period, the median lot price rose in Murrumbidgee (+10.4 per cent), Richmond-Tweed (+7.7 per cent), South Eastern NSW (+7.3 per cent) and the Central West region (+5.8 per cent).

LIFE AFTER CANCER TREATMENT? YOU BETTER BELEIVE IT!

On 13 August, in just two weeks, Dragons Abreast Mt Warning is hosting an event for anybody suffering from cancer, undergoing cancer treatment, or who is incapacitated because of any form of illness. We are offering a trip down the magnificent Tweed River from Tumbulgum, safely and gently ferried by experienced dragon boat paddlers. There is no need for our clients to do anything but enjoy the ride, the scenery and the morning tea which will follow.

“Come along and enjoy a warm and friendly welcome, a fun morning and a delicious morning tea” says Anne Bowden, President of Dragons Abreast Mt Warning.

Homeless fundraiser doubles its target THE LOCAL Tweed community has once again gone above and beyond in its support for the annual Fred’s Place Community Sleepout.

The event this year helped raise $40,000 for Fred’s Place – an intervention and prevention support service that assists people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness in the Tweed region.

The 2016 Fred’s Place Community Sleepout (pictured bottom) fundraiser, which took place at the Twin Towns Masonic Centre on Thursday (July 28), doubled its initial fundraising target of $20,000.

Around 70 attendees from the local community gathered to support the event, with the majority braving the cold to experience a glimpse of homelessness and what it was like to ‘sleep rough’.

Mr Jason McDonald, service manager at Fred’s Place, said he was moved by the way the Tweed community had rallied together to support the fundraiser.

“To see so many people in the community – from local businesses, government staff, students, club leaders, community organisations and passionate community members – dedicate their time and energy to help raise much-needed funds for Fred’s Place as well as raise awareness of

homelessness in the Tweed region, has been incredibly inspiring,” Mr McDonald said.

“Tweed Heads has one of the highest homeless rates per capita of any city or town in New South Wales, yet there is no other homelessness support service like Fred’s Place in the Tweed region.”

“The crucial funds raised from the sleepout will ensure that we can continue to provide marginalised people with a ‘home’ environment and connect them to other critical support services to help them on their journey towards health, safety and independence,” he said.

Mr Gerard Robinson, General Manager at Tweed Heads Bowls Club and a member of the 2016 Fred’s Place Community Sleepout Event Ambassador Team, said he was thrilled to be a part of the event.

“Fred’s Place helps the community’s most vulnerable people to rebuild their lives, and it’s for that very reason that I signed up to participate, and encouraged a number of my staff at the Tweed Heads Bowls Club to get involved,” Mr Robinson said.

“It’s not too late to contribute to the event, get behind Fred’s Place and show your support,” he added. To support Fred’s Place, visit fredsplacecommunitysleepout. org.au or call 0429 828 586.

Twin Towns plans a new club at Cobaki 18/07/2016

Date: Wed, 18 May 2016

Twin Towns Services Club has entered into an agreement with LEDA to secure a three hectare site for the future construction of a new satellite Club and state-ofthe-art child care facility at the Cobaki Estate, currently under development to the southwest of Gold Coast International airport.

The 84-year old surprised herself when she entered the Twin Towns’ Drive the Dream giveaway, urged on by Bridge club friends to be more proactive about claiming the benefits afforded to her through club membership.

Surprise turned to shock when she 1/1 learned she’d won - a gleaming red luxury BMW worth $50,000.

“I’ve never really been one for draws and competitions but we’d all talked about the car and how lovely it looked,” she said.

After her win, Molly gave the matter some careful consideration.

She’d driven a tiny sedan for years, only recently giving it up for another car. She decided to stick with what she knew.

Daughter Kate drove the prize car home to spend the night in Molly’s garage. Her other

daughter Helen will be its proud new owner.

“My own car had a night outdoors, so the BMW could go in the garage where, I must say, it looked rather impressive, all shiny and sparkly and sporty and red. I’m glad it can remain with family,” she said.

Molly is one of seven ladies who meet twice a week to play cards and follow up with coffee and a chat at Twin Towns. All celebrated the win as if it was their own.

“They couldn’t have been nicer," she said. “They’ve said how wonderful it is to know someone who won a big prize.

“You often hear or read about someone winning something like Lotto, but how often do you win yourself or know the winner?

More often than not, it’s never.”

Congratulations to Molly from all at Twin Towns and stay tuned for the next Member’s only promotion, coming soon.

CLUBNEWS www.twintowns.com.au BOARD CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Sustainability Each year Twin Towns Clubs and Resort board and management, acting as custodians for the assets of members and community, determine a weekend for Strategic Planning to future-proof this great club to ensure the next 60 years will be as successful as the past 60 years.

Twin Towns Services Club evolved from the Returned Sailors & Soldiers Imperial League of Australia in July 1957. The Club has a magnificent record of growth and stability in management, flowing on from our founding fathers returning from active service, to provide club facilities for rehabilitation to overcome the horrors of war and to support our community.

Twin Towns, Mantra Hotel and Apartments, Club Banora, Twin Towns Juniors, Recreation Street and Cobaki require reinventing and investment respectively, with draft plans needing to be examined thoroughly for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWAT Analysis) for the benefit of all concerned, prior to final submission to council.

Fortunately, we have a history of efficient management with directors showing passion and dedication to enhancing members’ facilities, based on good governance and due diligence.

Additionally, the provision of

employment for almost 400 equally passionate staff, not to mention stakeholders and our community generally, is important to our future sustainability.

Every four years Clubs NSW retain the services of KPMG to analyse the club industry statistically to ascertain key performance data for industry use and to provide government with information on the importance of clubs to communities. The last Census was completed in 2011 with the 2015 census being analysed as we speak but some of the early information is rather interesting.

Since 2011 there are 123 fewer clubs in NSW, a drop of almost 10%.

Registered Clubs provide access for 6.7 million members across NSW showing a membership growth of 18% since 2011. The EBITDA and growth of big clubs has improved markedly while small clubs are much the same since 2011 with little or no growth.

Golf and bowls clubs are the worst performers in terms of viability, with 60% of Golf Clubs and 40% of Bowls Clubs in distress or serious financial stress. Reliance on revenue from gaming continues to fall from 65% in 2011 down to 61% in 2015.

Permanent staff numbers have dropped from 41,400 to 40,728 with a sharp increase in casuals from 42% to 51%.

State taxes from clubs increased 6% with $1.4 billion paid to

government.

The economic contribution of clubs accounts for .07% of NSW Gross State Product, up 9% on 2011, totalling $3.7 billion.

The social contribution made by clubs to communities was $1.3 billion, up 5% since 2011, consisting of community donations, subsidised access to facilities and volunteering.

Based on statistics, it’s imperative for clubs to leverage their operational scale to grow and invest in their businesses to increase their financial sustainability. With regulatory changes ongoing, along with the challenges faced by economies of scale, continuing professional development and strategic planning incorporating innovation and diversification are imperative for sustainability and growth for the future.

ClubsNSW provides multiple opportunities for directors’ education, as does The Australian Institute of Company Directors, and I am proud to say Twin Towns’ directors take advantage of every opportunity to advance their skills and knowledge.

Good corporate governance, due diligence and strategic planning will ensure Twin Towns Clubs and Resort will not end up a statistic along with the other 123 clubs in NSW since 2011.

Storm, tempest and floods didn’t dampen spirits Congratulations and thank you to the formidable team at Twin Towns who ‘worked on’ during the evening of Saturday 4 June during a destructive East Coast Low pressure system that caused massive flooding (varying from 350 to 400 mm) and damage to the local Tweed area, especially Twin Towns Juniors.

Management and staff worked tirelessly to rejuvenate Juniors to operating status within three days after floodwaters at the rainfall peak reached above ankle depth, which was a mighty effort from our team and contractors alike.

Golfers at Banora had more chance playing water polo than golf and once again Roger Scott and his team cleaned up much of the damage as soon as practicable, although it obviously took longer for the Banora Golf Course to dry out enough for play.

Rain flooded the underground car park at the Resort causing severe damage to one of the Resort lifts and many leaks throughout the various clubs were certainly spotted without much difficulty and repaired immediately.

Overall most of the flooding damage was at Juniors with The Resort Lift part of the Strata property.

It was a fantastic effort from the Twin Towns Clubs and Resort team.

Congratulations to all concerned on a massive clean-up job and thank you again.

Political update I hate to close on a sour note and I certainly won’t express my thoughts on the current election outcome still being realised for which some may suggest is for the future benefit of Australia.

Two old enigmas of the Club Industry, Wilkie and Xenophon, have been re-elected for another parliamentary term in office. They have resurrected their anti-pokies scheme from the ashes to again threaten the elected government with their personal, ongoing anti-gambling plan to destroy community clubs.

Although

rejected

by

two

Parliamentary enquiries, one of which was chaired by Andrew Wilkie, their $1 maximum bet on gaming machines crusade, that will effectively eliminate not-for-profit community clubs and all they represent, has been put to Prime Minister Turnbull as a condition for their support in parliament.

All their many anti-gambling proposals would cost approximately $1.5 billion and would not help a single problem gambler. In contrast, Clubs Australia, with the support of governments, has introduced a range of evidence-based, cost effective and targeted solutions to help address problem gambling, such as the world-first Online Multi-Venue Self Exclusion system, club chaplaincy and counselling services.

The industry’s Club Safe responsible gambling program has also been recognised for its contribution to harm-minimisation measures on a global stage and research to assist problem gambling is ongoing.

Industry led initiatives, a collaborative approach working with State and Territory Governments, researchers and treatment services, have seen problem gambling fall to less than 1% of the adult population. Our hope is the Government lets us continue to serve the communities of Australia and are not influenced by the personal views of one or two representatives.

Without clubs providing local employment, direct and indirect, a raft of community facilities and much-needed support, what is that real cost and who will fill the void?

Good health and I look forward to catching up around our clubs.

CLUBNEWS www.twintowns.com.au New club in Cobaki (cont from pg 1)

"As a new and growing community, Cobaki Estate will have a need for this infrastructure, along with the social and recreational benefits the Club will bring," he said.

Whilst it will be some years before the commencement and completion of the project, Mr Smith says the Board of Directors sees this move as an important part of their masterplan for the future growth of the Twin Towns brand on the Tweed.

Juniors staff pitched in to help with the massive clean-up after the June floods.

Resilient Juniors weathers the storm The month of June brought extreme weather to the Tweed and Gold Coast, with flood-prone Twin Towns’ Juniors in Fraser Drive located in one of the hardest hit areas in the Tweed Shire.

Torrential rain combined with king tides caused flash flooding, with more than 300mm of water inundating the interior of Juniors when the east coast low passed by in early June.

Dedicated staff worked tirelessly alongside local tradies and contractors to mop up the water, tear up carpets and assess the damage. Remarkably, the muchloved local was back up and running in only two days.

Twin Towns Executive Business Manager Rod Pain said Juniors’ staff immediately kicked into gear, working long and hard as

a team to fix what seemed an overwhelming task.

“The ‘high tide’ mark was completely visible throughout the club – on cabinetry, furniture and walls.

“Carpets were completely destroyed by the water and staff worked for hours, cutting the soggy mess into strips so it could be removed from the club,” said Rod.

Twin Towns Juniors, Rod said patronage at the much-loved ‘local’ had “grown in leaps and bounds”.

“Whilst many other small local clubs in New South Wales struggle to stay afloat, Twin Towns Juniors continues to buck the trend, posting a regular healthy profit each year since its incorporation under the Twin Towns’ banner.

Then came the task of drying the concrete slab. Cleaners squeegeed off as much water as possible, and brought in huge industrial fans to dry out the concrete.

“Approximately 70,000 people visited Juniors last year and around 1,300 junior and senior footy, touch footy, rugby league and cricket players use the adjoining sporting fields on a regular basis.

Within 24 hours, new carpets were on the way and when the Club opened a few days later, it was business as usual.

“Having the club facilities right next door means that these clubs have a meeting place where they can socialise off the field.

Since Twin Towns took over the former South Tweed Rugby League Football Club in 2002 and it became

“The outdoor areas and covered pavilions are perfect for families and free entertainment on Fridays

and Sunday afternoons has broad appeal to the local demographic.”

Rod said the sense of pride and ownership of their club by members who frequent Juniors on a regular basis was evident during the recent bad weather.

“Many people showed a real concern for how Juniors fared during the floods and were pleased to see the doors reopen to them in such a short space of time.

“It showed true club and community spirit at its best,” Rod said.

"The clubs and facilities offered by the Twin Towns group have all emerged from solid, longterm planning and execution in a considered way that matches the evolution of the area.

"We are excited and optimistic about this opportunity at Cobaki and will continue to work with LEDA as their plans unfold for this new residential community," he said.

Cobaki Estate is located in the Tweed Shire but is also just five minutes' drive from Coolangatta. The area is unique, with easy access to Coolangatta International Airport, shopping, golf courses and beaches. Its close proximity to Southern Cross University is also expected to lure many families to the new Tweed suburb.

Vietnam Veterans Day On Thursday 18 August 2016, a service to honour Vietnam Veterans on the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan will be held at South Tweed Sports Club Memorial Gardens at 11am.

Veterans, their families and friends, Twin Towns members and the general public are invited to attend this important occasion.

Former servicemen, representatives of Tweed Heads & Coolangatta RSL-Sub-branch and Twin Towns, Federal Member for Richmond the Hon Justine Elliott and State Member for Tweed Geoff Provest, will lay wreaths during the ceremony.

Twin Towns Board Chairman Michael Fraser said these projects are important to our local community to remind us of the sacrifices made by those who served in the Vietnam War from 1962 to 1972.

“More than 3,000 Australians were wounded and 521 lost their lives, including 200 National Servicemen.

“This year we commemorate the 50th Anniversary of one of the most significant battles of the Vietnam War, the Battle of Long Tan. “This memorial day honours everyone who has served our nation in years gone by, as well as those who currently serve today,” Michael said.

Twin Towns’ Rising Stars Twin Towns’ Southern Cross University Rising Star scholarship students continue to do their sponsors proud.

Melanie Reeves, a mother of two, is one of five Southern Cross students who receive an annual bursary from the Twin Towns Community Foundation to help her through three-plus years of study.

Stylish dining in Signatures Fusing earth and sea into a lustrous new menu, Signatures chefs, led

by Twin Towns Executive Chef Kim Chilcott, have unveiled yet another new and exciting dining style to add to your Twin Towns experience.

In a feast for the culinary senses, artfully presented dishes can be savoured in the warm and relaxed ambience of this resort-style restaurant. Overlooking the pool and garden terrace through floorto-ceiling glass, diners can enjoy Signatures’ hand-picked range of wines, spirits, and international and craft beers.

From 5pm, Signatures offers an early dinner menu, specially catering for those who have an evening of entertainment planned.

Be seated and order before 6.30pm and choose from a set menu of two entrees, two mains and two desserts. The price is $35pp for two courses or $45pp for three courses.

Early dinner entrees include ovenbaked mini chicken enchiladas

with a spicy salsa, and on a lighter note, there’s the prawn and avocado tian with sweet corn salsa and preserved lemon.

Mains on the early dinner menu are oven-baked chicken breast with crispy prosciutto, garlic mash, steamed broccolini and forest mushroom cream or apple cider battered barramundi, served with hand-cut potato chips, garden salad and citrus mayonnaise.

Desserts include berry brioche bread and butter pudding or salted caramel swirl vanilla bean cheesecake.

After 6.30pm, Signatures introduces its more extensive menu of five entrees, five mains and five desserts, at $45pp for two courses or $55pp for three courses.

Twice cooked pork belly with seared scallops, sautéed spinach and cauliflower puree, dressed with verjuice and crackle dust is the perfect opener.

For mains, try the slow-roasted Tunisian lamb shoulder with buttered vegetables, two purees of citrus pea and parsnip and port wine cranberry jus. Duck Maryland with kipfler potatoes, pan-fried greens and burnt orange butter is another of the stars on the mains list.

When it comes to desserts, Signatures sweet sensations are as pleasing on the eye as they are on the palette. Try the hot fudge sundae with honey macadamia nut ice-cream and warm chocolate ganache or sticky fig pudding with whiskey caramel butter and vanilla ice-cream.

Whatever style of dining you choose, enjoy full table service from Signatures exemplary team of staff.

Signatures, located on the Lobby Level at Mantra Twin Towns, opens for dinner on Friday & Saturday nights from 5pm to 9pm.

Bookings are recommended.

Phone 1800 014 014.

Melanie is completing her Bachelor of Education (Primary) and has been working at Murwillumbah East School and recently completed her final practicum at Uki. She penned this letter of thanks to Twin Towns.

“My children are very excited for their mum to be stepping away from the laptop for a while. As much as this scholarship has assisted me personally, it has also benefited my children who would have missed out on so much more of my attention and time if I had to take on a third job. Thankfully that was not the case and with Twin Towns’ support I hope to finish this year on a bright and confident note, ready to start a career I dreamed of in teaching.”

Perfect for a catch-up with the girls, a mother-daughter date, birthday or special occasion, High Tea at Twin Towns is an experience waiting to be shared with family, friends or work colleagues.

Surrounded by sparkling chandeliers and crystal rain, enjoy your ‘tiers of joy’ with a choice of traditional teas, espresso coffee or Moet & Chandon champagne.

“Members are the backbone of the club and with their ongoing support via membership and patronage, Twin Towns is able to lend a helping hand when and where it was needed the most,” he said.

The Southern Cross University Rising Stars program gives local businesses the opportunity to recognise, support and contribute to student achievement, encourage students to complete degrees and support excellence by enabling recipients to reduce working hours to concentrate on study.

Other young locals, Jacinta Greenup, Brayden Maynard and Bridget Hill, receive student sponsorships through the Twin Towns ClubGRANTS program.

High Tea is served in Breezes Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 1-4pm and bookings are essential. Adults only. Dress code applies.

At her request, maids brought tea, cake and bread and butter to her room in the late afternoon.

It became a habit and she began inviting friends to join her.

Breezes High Tea

Afternoon tea became fashionable during the 1880s, and society women would don long gowns, gloves and hats for the event.

Sparkling High Tea $43 pp includes pot of tea or espresso coffee + one glass of Chandon Sparkling Wine.

The History of High Tea High Tea is regarded as the most quintessential of English customs.

the mid-17th century that the concept of ‘afternoon tea’ first appeared.

“Twin Towns members all play a role in assisting the club to give back to the local community, including these local students.

Melanie is one of two students who receive annual assistance through the Twin Towns Community Foundation. The other is Tyler Thompson, who is completing her Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education (Primary/Early Childhood).

High tea in Breezes If feasting on exquisite ribbon sandwiches, freshly baked fluffy scones with jam and cream and elegantly crafted sweet and savoury delights is your cup of tea, Breezes Bar & Lounge at Twin Towns has your cravings covered.

Director David Philips, said it was great to hear about how Twin Towns’ support has helped ease the financial burden, making studying easier for the scholarship recipients, especially those like Melanie with a young family.

During the Industrial Revolution, working families would return home exhausted. The table would be set with meats, bread, butter, pickles, cheese and, of course, tea.

It was eaten at high dining tables rather than low tea tables so it became known as ‘High Tea’.

MASTERS SWIMMING Thankfully the pool is now well heated as winter has arrived with a blast! June long weekend is always the Yamba Carnival and is a great meet where we have our ‘State of Origin’ relay as well as other swimming events. This year NSW won the relay by half a body length with everyone urging them on. Congratulations to Leonie who came 2nd in her age group. Noosa Carnival has chosen to have postal swims for their carnival, avoiding travelling up there and an overnight stay. Our timekeepers were busy timing those entering.

Ron won gold in his 80-84 age group and Judy won bronze.

Elvis Presley's fifteenth movie, Viva Las Vegas, was known as his best musical comedy. In this famous film, Elvis teamed up with dynamic co-star AnnMargaret, whose singing and dancing matched the intensity of his own trademark style.

CLUBNEWS www.twintowns.com.au

Celebrate 50 years with Issi Showbiz veteran Issi Dye has planned a special treat for fans who attend his 50th anniversary show at Twin Towns this month.

James Johnston plays The Stage Singer songwriter James Johnston and his band will play a series of free shows at Twin Towns this month.

The entertainer will be joined on stage by his daughter Bianca, a Gold Coast radio host. Father and daughter will perform a duet.

The Rollercoaster and How Am I to Know singer is well known to Gold Coast audiences. Aged 19, he placed third in the series of Australian Idol that was won by the Gold Coast’s Stan Walker and introduced another local, Casey Barnes, to national television audiences.

“We haven’t decided yet what we’ll do… nothing too tricky. I was thinking One Last Kiss,” Issi said.

James and his band now travel Australia in a van performing gigs. He has supported Australian entertainers including Jimmy Barnes and Gangajang and played recent gigs in London, the US and Vietnam.

Dye, who turned 70 this year and still performs up to five shows a week, has been touring a special show to mark his big anniversary.

He performs a selection of songs from all his hit tribute shows to performers like Al Jolson, Johnny O’Keefe, Dean Martin and Bobby Darin and indulges in a little storytelling while footage collected over his career plays on the big screen.

Dye, 70, has performed alongside the greats: Ray Charles, Roy Orbison, Johnny O’Keefe, The Platters, The Supremes and The Beach Boys to name a few.

“There’s footage of me with people like Don Lane, Ernie Sigley and Bert Newton that goes right back to the beginning of my career,” he said.

See page 7 for details.

“I love remembering, but that’s the past and life’s for living. I’ve always said my next great show will be the next.”

Fans know Johnston as something of a thrill seeker. Snaps he recently posted to social media, show him skydiving over Uluru James Johnston and his band play a series of free shows at The Stage at Twin Towns from Thursday 18 to Sunday 21 August.

Every week, The Stage at Twin Towns showcases some of Australia’s hottest showbands. If you love music and love to dance, head to The Stage Thursdays and Sundays from 7.30pm to 11.30pm and Fridays and Saturdays from 9pm to 1am.

The all new Cabaret 360 show is ready to shine THE ALWAYS popular Cabaret 360 returns on Friday, August 12 and Saturday, August 13, to the Uki School of Performing Arts for another year of rousing performances.

Uki’s annual Cabaret 360 is now in its 8th year and has established a reputation as an amazing showcase of local performers from the rainbow region. The show incorporates professional, semi professional and amateur performers and is held in Uki at the soulful old hall – The School of Performing Arts.

This year the team of director Michele Thomas and Marlena Basser have created a rich exploration around the theme of “Nothing is what it Seems”. Centred around the theme of a wardrobe the show delves into the mythical landscape of the subconscious dreams that are “hidden in the closet”; exploring and celebrating the expression and liberation of our fears, hopes and secrets.

The show draws on elements of magical illusion, characters from sideshow alley, the play between revealing and concealing, shifting realities and the trick of the eye.

Michele Thomas said: “The cabaret this year is a playful Pandora’s Box, with a bit of mischief, a sprinkle of magic, and a pinch of mayhem. There are going to be some shadowy surprises in store for everyone”.

Last year audiences had an opportunity to see the No Frills Twins headline, who have since signed an international recording contract and are tipped to be stratospheric in their success.

This year’s headliners, The Bella Fontes likewise have exciting developments happening in their professional journey, Cabaret 360 delights in letting local audiences experience our world class talent, just before they become less available due to a flurry of international touring, so

be quick.

The Bella Fontes, are three well known local singers Andrea Soler, Nadia Sunde and Parissa Bouas combining their voices in a feel good tribute to the songs of the Calypso era, with gorgeous 3 part harmonies and a large dose of playful hilarity. The Bella Fontes will be joined by a range of impressive performers covering a broad range of genres. Nimbin poet David Hallet returns after making a deep impression on the audience last year and is joined by acrobalance superman Li Pawson, LED hula hoop artist Asta Godden, international festival stars Dandyman and Ruby Rubberlegs with their distinct brand of physical comedy, the puppetry by Gabriele Griffin, local legend of circus Sue Hird, the Origami Theatre, dancers, singers, magic tricks, shadow play and more. The magic of theatre in all it’s mystery will be celebrated in an original, fun,

thought provoking and unmissable show.

Producer Nick Hanlon of Rainbow Region Gigs said “the show will be quite a different production from last year, which incorporated three projectors and alot of space imagery. This year the production is based on theatrical lighting techniques such as lightbox illuminations and the use of black light, it will look amazing.”

The Sideshow Alley performers will be out on the street to welcome the audience into the show from 6.30pm. The doors open at 7pm. The show starts at 7.30. Tickets are $35/$30 concession and are available at the door on the night.

Presales are available at The Uki Supermarket in Uki, or the Sugarmill Studio in Murwillumbah. Refreshments will be available on the night in the hall. Please note: Cabaret 360 incorporates adult content and is rated M for mature audiences only.

THE MEDDLER THE MEDDLER is the story of a very special mother. Recently widowed but still with a lot of energy and zest for life despite missing her husband terribly, Marnie decides to move from New York to Los Angeles to start afresh and be close to her daughter, a young TV script writer who has recently split from her boyfriend. Obviously as always happens in movies and often in real life - things do not go as planned: the daughter wants to keep the loving mother at a distance, perceiving her presence as an imposition rather than a consolation for her broken heart. And so, since she cannot be part of her daughter’s life, mother ends up getting into other people’s lives instead…

73688

THE MEDDLER is written and directed by a woman filmmaker, Lorene Scafaria, who actually based Marnie’s character and story on her own mother and conceived the film as a homage to her. The larger-than-life character provides an opportunity for Susan Sarandon to show how wonderful an actress she is, portraying the largest range of emotions in a very convincing way. We can’t help sympathizing with that mum, even when she seems a bit too much..!

HI ALL welcome to local sounds. This is part two in our series of “The art of expression by sound”.

Dementia, again a very cruel and often life-ending illness.

Did you know there are more than 100 different types of dementia, and to make it harder, people can often have more than one type.

However, there is some good news. Dr Doris Bersing PhD wrote a paper which concluded that regularly playing a musical instrument can delay the onset of dementia. Not perfect news, but if you could buy an extra couple of years, would you walk away? There is more good news. One of the final parts of the brain to be affected by dementia is often the musical part of the brain, in particular songs that you sang as a younger person.

However this is of some concern. Our grandparents used to sing and party whenever and wherever they could. They had songs like “Daisy”, “Tipperary”, and “Show Me the Way to Go Home”.

They sang them throughout their lives. And often these songs remain to comfort them at the end of life. This puts a great responsibility on those composers of today who write disposable music, songs that are hits for just a few days, even music that has no words at all.

What songs are going to be available when our young become the new elderly? What long-term musical memories will they have? A worrying thought indeed.

The quicker we get back to community singing and family

There is a case study on a lady who had a stroke when she was four-years-old. She is now thirty-years-old, and had not spoken for 26 years.

After just five days of music therapy she started to say her first words. She uses music every day to heal herself.

She still has a long road to travel but she has taken the first steps.

Census has first digital push

Smile Right...Shine Bright!!!

1300 227 223

AUSTRALIA’S FIVE-YEARLY snapshot of its country and its citizens is fast approaching and the 27th national census will be the nation’s first predominantly digital census.

As in 2011, the national census will occur on Tuesday, August 9.

It is the largest collection of statistical information that the Australian Bureau of Statistics undertakes.

Australian visitors are counted, but residents out of the country on census night are not.

The director of the Census National Management Unit, Sam Thomas, says it provides a moment for everyone to play a role in shaping Australia’s future.

“It provides a picture of who we are, where we live and what we do. Census data is used to provide critical information to assist in planning for service delivery and infrastructure requirements such as transport, health and education.”

Tens of thousands of letters will be sent to Tweed households, providing an online login for residents to complete the census on the internet.

Mr Thomas said the move was efficient and despite several media reports, will not compromise anyone’s personal privacy.

“It’s a very fast, safe and easy way to complete your census form. It can be completed at home or using a smartphone, tablet or computer, and we’re expecting around 16 million people to complete their survey online this time. We’re hoping

Payments under this plan expire at the end of 2016, leaving solar owners with 4 - 6 cents for each kWh exported after then. 20,000 homes in the Northern Rivers will have to install new meters just to be able to use the power they now export entirely to the grid.

888 Solar Tek, your local hybrid and off-grid solar experts, have developed a smart migration plan, which will eliminate 80% or more of your ongoing power charges. They can install additional solar panels and battery storage now, to cover all of your daily energy use, slashing power charges.

Every cent of the Solar Bonus generated by your existing system is collected right up until the end of the scheme, when both system are combined.

Your new hybrid solar system allows greater independence and typically pays for itself in 3-5 years. 888 Solar Tek tailor the new solar system around your existing equipment and provide 12 months free monitoring and support.

If you have very low electricity usage you may choose to go off the grid altogether to eliminate fixed supply charges that make up most of your bill.

888 Solar Tek have new technologies that can operate both on and off the grid.

This makes staged transition to energy self-sufficiency cost effective and avoids costly equipment change-over.

24 Hr Solar Power - Batteries Included!

Why pay for electricity when it is cheaper to make your own? Selling your solar power for 4 - 6 cents per kWh sucks! Beat the network by generating and storing your own power. Our revolutionary new solar & battery systems put you in charge of your home energy production.

We supply customised new or retrofit systems to match your power Call Vincent Selleck use - not a one size fits all package. You get personalised, local service for a Free with free 12 month power monitoring and tune ups.

disease, which supports employment and the economy.

“Industry has been busy identifying effluent hotspots and I look forward to working with councils to see new and upgraded wash out facilities established.”

Councils have nearly two months to apply for funding under this initiative, which will be vital to providing the infrastructure required to increase productivity in the meat and livestock industry.

As part of the Fixing Country Truck Washes initiative, councils will be encouraged to work with the meat and livestock industry so that the available funding can be leveraged and spread across regional New South Wales.

State MP urges council to apply for truck wash funds NATIONALS MEMBER for Lismore Thomas George MP is urging councils to apply for funding as part of the Fixing Country Truck Washes program which targets key livestock routes and effluent ‘hotspots’ where wash out facilities are inadequate.

Mr George said the program, which is jointly by the Federal and State coalition governments is now open to councils across the state and are encouraged to apply.

“Right now there are gaps in the livestock truck wash-out network which prevent stock crates from being cleaned out between loads, forcing trucks to travel to alternate wash out locations,” Mr George said.

“Upgrading and establishing new washout facilities will improve productivity and reduce effluent spills which cause road safety issues and the spread of weed and

to achieve over 65 per cent of households completing their census form online, which is about a doubling of what we experienced in 2011,” he said.

But people can still complete the census on paper and return it by mail - and fines do apply for not completing it.

The digital move has cut the census cost by $100 million compared with 2011, down to $330 million.

There has also been a strong focus on better engagement with Australians who predominantly speak a language other than English.

Samantha Palmer is the general manager of governance, people and culture at the Bureau of Statistics.

She says the Bureau has worked hard with community groups and support organisations to engage with citizens and make them understand why the census is so important.

“It’s absolutely important that everyone who is in Australia on the 9th of August gets counted in our census. And we know that people who don’t speak English as their first language, they’ll need a different range of services to be provided, compared to those people for whom English is their first language. And the census makes sure that government understands where everyone lives who is in that circumstance, and can properly account for and provide those services.”

The Census Inquiry Service has linked up with the Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS) to accommodate those needs.

MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest today encouraged local organisations to celebrate the valuable contribution grandparents make in the Tweed community, by applying for $100,000 in funding available under the NSW Grandparents Day Community event grants program.

The NSW Government has allocated $100,000 in funding for community groups, volunteer organisations and local councils to host events on NSW Grandparents Day Sunday 30 October 2016.

“Grandparents play a significant role in the home and the community, and this extra funding is the NSW Government’s way of thanking them for their hard work,” Mr Provest said.

“For the first time grants of up to $5,000 are available to support NSW Grandparents Day activities this year.

“This is the perfect time to show our

recognition and support for grandparents in Tweed for the amazing role they play in our lives.

“I urge everyone in Tweed to celebrate them by organising an event in the community.”

For the first time there are two funding categories available this year through the grants program, offering: • Tier 1 Grants of up to $1,000 for smallscale local community events or activities, and • Tier 2 Grants from $1,001 to $5,000 for large-scale region-wide events targeted at local government and larger community organisations.

Applications for the NSW Grandparents Day Community event grants program are now open and close on Friday 12 August 2016.

Gallery to host Archibald winner New Olley exhibition opens

THE TWEED Regional Gallery in partnership with the Byron Bay Writers Festival will host the winner of the 2015 Archibald Prize Nigel Milsom and his subject barrister Charles Waterstreet this Sunday August 7.

The pair will be in conversation with the Director of the Art Gallery of NSW, Dr Michael Brand. The session will be introduced by Susi Muddiman OAM, Director of the Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre.

Arguably Australia’s most popular art event, the Archibald Prize never fails to capture the nation’s attention. Last year’s winning portrait of barrister Charles Waterstreet captured attention as an arresting portrayal of one of Sydney’s most colourful law men.

Artist Nigel Milsom won the prestigious $100,000 prize with his striking portrait of his chosen subject, whose character and antics have been suggested as being the impetus behind the popular ABC drama production Rake, starring actor Richard Roxborough. Interviewed by the Director of the Art Gallery of NSW, Dr Michael Brand, this interview is one not to be missed.

The event will be held at the Gallery at 2pm on Sunday 7 August 2016. The event is free, so be sure to come along early to secure a seat. No bookings required.

In the evening, make your way to Mullumbimby for a special ‘In Conversation’ event as part of the popular Art in the Pub series.

Gallery Director Susi Muddiman said, “The Gallery often teams up with the dynamic teams of the Byron School of

Art and c.a.s.e. – contemporary art space and education. It’s a special opportunity to share this collaboration with our partnership with the Byron Bay Writers Festival for this event. I’m looking forward to interviewing Michael Brand at the pub.

What a great setting to chat with one of the leading figures in the country’s arts industry,” she said.

Dr Michael Brand is a passionate advocate for greater cultural investment, innovation and infrastructure. Canberra born, Harvard educated and Sydney based, Michael, and international art scholar, wants access to the arts for everyone – so what better setting could there be than the pub?

The event will be held at the Courthouse Hotel in Mullumbimby at 6pm on Sunday 7 August 2016. The event is free, and no bookings are required.

THE MARGARET Olley Art Centre will present a new exhibition Margaret Olley: from the collection curated exclusively from the Tweed Regional Gallery’s collection.

In preparation for the installation of this new exhibition, the Margaret Olley Art Centre (MOAC) will remain open to the public, however from 10 August – 14 August visitors can enjoy the home studio re-creation only as there will not be an accompanying exhibition in the MOAC during this short period of time.

“The works illustrate stylistic evolutions in Olley’s practice and reveal glimpses of some of the many places she travelled to, and some of the places she called home,” said Gallery Director Susi Muddiman.

The exhibition includes artworks by Margaret Olley (1923-2011) dating from as early as 1938 when Olley was just 15 years of age. The collection includes a substantial number of works generously gifted by the Margaret Olley Estate, following the artist’s bequest of $1 million towards the development of the re-creation of her home studio within the

Margaret Olley Art Centre – the third and final stage of the Tweed Regional Gallery.

The majority of the artworks gifted by the Estate remained in Olley’s own collection from the time they were created until her death in 2011.

“Visitors will have the opportunity to see works that Olley kept in her own collection for many decades,” Ms Muddiman said. “These were works that had sentimental value to her and that have become story holders for the events of her life. Works such as Kewpie Doll 1938 and The Lands Office, Sydney (cnr Bent and Loftus) 1967 have

never before been on public display.”

Other artworks in this exhibition have been acquired into the Gallery’s collection via the financial support of the Tweed Regional Gallery Foundation Ltd., the Friends of Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre Inc., the Tweed Regional Gallery Donations Fund and as gifts to the collection by generous donors.

The Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre is open Wednesday to Sunday from 10am until 5pm.

Titans full of surprises as Sharks meet their match Well I guess the Sharks haven’t been beaten in 16 weeks but the winning record has ceased. The Titans were brave and showed they have a bit to give in the back end.

The Titans have surprised me to be honest but they are playing some pretty attractive footy. They will be a better side in 2017.

Plenty of debate about the Heads/Tails call in the golden point and it’s not a good look from Wade Graham blatantly lying. I hope for his sake it was a genuine mistake and he admits it.

Did the Roosters show what they are capable of on Thursday or are the Broncos just going terribly. I think the latter. Something is going to come out soon, there is something wrong. They are down on confidence and the silkiness is gone (cost me a few beers that loss). I can’t see them getting their mojo back. The Raiders sit in third spot on the ladder and don’t look like shifting. They are playing a confident and exciting brand of footy and a tough style as well. I would love to see them go deep into september.

Souths on the other hand are a dead set debacle. The players are letting the coach down and although he has the ‘full support of the board’ I would be thinking Maguire is sleeping a little uneasy at the moment. Melbourne are just clinical. They are a real delight to watch in that Cronk and Smith just guide them around the park so well. A Cowboys outfit without JT are a lot less formidable and sides would be much more confident against them without the maestro there but they will feature heavily in finals time that is for sure.

The Charity match on Saturday between Mustangs and Evans Head was a great event. Plenty of money was raised through sponsorship, special edition polo’s, raffles and auctioning off the players jerseys.

The money will go towards a few really worth causes in Mya Hurst, Ricky Toms and Tweed Pallative Care. It was a great afternoon and the Mustangs result keeps them on top of the table with Cudgen and Casino. A huge game this week at Cudgen with the local derby on Sunday at 3pm and will go a long way to determine the top 3 and minor premiers.

Thanks for all the messages of support after the broken ankle/leg in the game on saturday. A couple of screws were put in on Monday afternoon and that will be the end of my season and career. This will be retirement number 3 but is definitely ‘the last time’. It’s been a great ride with plenty of friendships made, fun times had and countries seen.

See you at the footy.

Mr James is wanted for contravening Apprehended Violence Orders in both NSW and QLD. Mr James is known to frequent the suburbs of Currumbin in QLD and Bogangar in NSW. He is thought to be driving an older model silver Holden Barina (NSW registration number (BC52QZ).

If any member of the public sights Jason James or knows where he is, they can contact the Tweed Heads Police Station on 0755 360999 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

TWO MEN were arrested at Cabarita on Thursday, July 28 following a pursuit on the M1 near the Clothiers Creek Road exit.

The passenger of the stolen vehicle was charged with being carried in a conveyance (car) without consent of the owner, custody of a knife, possessions of a prohibited weapon (sling shot) and possession of prohibited drugs (cannabis and methylamphetamine).

The driver of the stolen vehicle was charged under Sky’s Law (police pursuit), driving in a dangerous manner, receiving property stolen outside of NSW (the vehicle), unlicenced driving and use of illegal number plates. Both men have been refused bail.

TWEED/BYRON LAC Police would once again like to thanks the members of the public in assisting Police.

Wanted offenders Jake Smith and Joshua Mulheron have been located and their respective matters have been dealt with.

I have been very remiss in not emailing you sooner to thank you for the newspaper I received in the mail.

Thank you so much for doing this...it was so appreciated despite my lack of acknowledgement at the time :) Your genuine help has been very much valued at a time when timing and urgency was required, shortly after Mum’s passing.

And also since re placing the thank you notice to Heritage in your paper.

I can only say a huge thank you! Blessings to you for your kindness.

Kind regards

Debbie

BOWLS NOTES

with Judy Tuckey

THE FINAL of Condong’s W.B.C. Championship Open Pairs was a contest not to have been missed as two leads, Becki Attard and Tina DeBelle (Skip), challenged the more experienced Mary Chisholm and Kim Keevers (Skip) for supremacy.

All four players, hyped up for the event, certainly kept a packed gallery of spectators enthralled with top quality bowling throughout the game. Attard and DeBelle, playing brilliantly, kept their opposition at bay and were in charge on 19-7 at the completion of the thirteenth end. With only five ends to go, Chisholm and Keevers, fighting back strongly collected a single on the next two ends, followed by a big five on the sixteenth.

Another single on the seventeenth end to team Keevers and the scores were even on 17-17. Crucial last end had DeBelle holding shot with Keevers then claiming shot with a well executed draw. DeBelle, with a super up-shot, succeeded in deadening the end.

The replayed end resulted in victory with a one shot margin for Chisholm and Keevers.

Congratulations to all four ladies on a great performance.

While all this was occurring, the Condong Men’s Open Singles final was also under way.

Rowan Norris and Dean Lucan were involved in a very tight game, scoring alternatively up to the half way mark. Norris then knuckled down hard and took control, closing the contest with a moderate margin. Well done, Rowie. Cudgen Leagues ladies have also finalised their B Grade singles Championship with Joanne Dent and Trish McGee the last two standing. In a game where scoring was close for some time, Joanne then took control and was able to take the game, claiming victory with a comfy margin.

Ocean Shores’ ladies championship fours are now done and dusted with Thelma Warr, Margaret Hosie, Janine Howe and Sam Curtis being able to conquer Dot Gardiner, Johnnie Busch, Marjorie Flesser and Barbara Sprengel in a tough close scoring dual.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Tapped in to the waves POTTSVILLE SURFER Brittani Nicholl had just returned from a good performance at the US Open of Surfing, when she got the phone call to go off to Costa Rica this weekend for the ISA World Surfing Titles. This is like the Olympics of surfing, and the Olympic committee will be checking out the titles, and hopefully surfing will be added to the program at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

Brittani has previously won Australian and NSW Open Women’s Titles, and the 26 year old also battles Crohns disease, she has determination in spades, and not only has talent but works hard to be where she is.

When I spoke her she was stoked, “I’m feeling pretty excited, it was unexpected and a quick turnaround from another recent trip. I’ve only been home a couple of days and now I’m off again. It’s an awesome opportunity and I’ve always dreamed of representing my country so I’m pretty happy to make that dream a reality.”

Asked how this rates in her overall career achievements, Brittani rates it right up there, as she has never competed in the Australian team so this will be a first for her, and she will do Australia proud. I am sure just like myself, everyone wishes Brittani the best of luck, and hopefully she can bring home a gold medal for Australia! Go girl!! with forecast wave heights going from 3 -6 metres plus! Well it looks like it will be some fun waves, and winds are expected to get to over 40 knots particularly Thurday night. I’m calling Sunday should be the best of it, and the Cabarita Boardriders love that, with their club round this Sunday. Fun weekend ahead!

Catch you in the waves!!!

Well the ladies of the Tweed Coast region are making headlines and no more so than Brittani Nichol and Alyssa Lock.

TWEED GROM super surfgirl, Alyssa Lock, has taken out the Australian Open Women’s Title at only 15 years of age! After claiming a handful of junior titles over the last six months, the Tweed Heads surfer managed to add an Australian Title to the mix, taking out the Open Women’s division in an all NSW final. Lock synced her frontside attack with the punchy lefthanders at Coffs Harbour’s Maccaulys Beach, notching up a 14.00 heat total. Runnerup Sophia Fulton (formally of Mollymook, now a member of Cabarita Boardriders) put up a valiant fight but failed to muster up the required 7.26 wave score to take away Lock’s lead.

“I’m speechless, this feels amazing. This win will be something I remember for a few years to come,” said Lock. “All the girls in the final were surfing so well over the course of the final, so it feels incredible to come away with the win.”

I know here Dad, Dean a good surfer in his own right, he will be as proud as punch, and so he should be. Big things in the future for this young lass for sure!

BIG SWELL FOR THE WEEKEND!!

Following an international review of a number of treatment protocols in first aid and resuscitation, the Australian Resuscitation Council released a number of revised guidelines in January. Based on extensive discussion and evidence, it has been determined it is necessary to adopt changes to treatment for the following.

Spinal management, heart attack, heat exhaustion, external bleeding and C.P.R. compression rates.

S.L.S.A. have developed some new training videos on the changes to spinal management techniques and these are

available on the Members Portal. The 34th edition of the training manual has been slightly revised to reflect these changes and will be available for purchase form the S.L.S.A. shop prior to the start of the new season.

Sh ting Hoops WOMEN’S LEAGUE

Monday night Steelers took on Blazers in what is a fairly even match up. The game didn’t disappoint with end to end basketball the theme of the night. At the final buzzer it was Steelers who proved too strong, winning 36-23.

Overall handicap honours went to the YOUTH LEAGUE Corsair Nimbus sailed by Syd Brown.

Last Wednesday we had the largest number yet when 20 Youth League players came along for their first session after the school holiday break. It’s fantastic to see new comers each week. As we had enough for 4 teams, we finished the coaching session with a couple shortened games. The teams are mixed and do have a broad age range from 11 to 16 years.

With more turning up each week we may be able to have 2 age groups, 11-13 and 14-16.

It is a development in progress. With conventional winter sport drawing to a close, this is the ideal time to let your mates know about Youth League.

10 dinghies set sail with 5 of the Corsair class.

MEN’S LEAGUE

Had you told me 4 months ago we would have a 5 team men’s league starting in August, I wouldn’t have believed you. But the good news is we do! Tuesday night was the first round of competition play. And what games we witnessed! In the first game, it was the young (and some older) Wolves who came home with the points over a very experienced team lead by Matt Chips. Final score, 37-29. In the 2nd game, Oddballs came home with the points, 34-29 over Splash Ketchum in what was another early upset.

The Tropics, who will be the side to watch, had the bye.

NEW FIRST AID KIT

A huge thank you to Skye and Con of Varela and Swift Pharmacy for fitting out our First Aid kit. It’s been a few years since this was done. Everything from nail clippers to an asthma spray are new and in the box if needed. Hopefully we won’t need to call on it too often, but it’s comforting to know it’s there and ready.

Please support local business that support Murwillumbah Basketball.

AUSSIE HOOPS

Week 2 and everyone was decked out in their Aussie Hoops singlets, back packs and shiny new Spalding basketball. This term has seen a record number register. Smiling faces and happy parents are the ideal recipe for the success of the Aussie Hoops program.
