Power Independence with Solar Batteries

Over half of all Australian homes will have batteries for energy storage in the next ten years...

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

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

24 Hour Solar Power

With Feed in Tariffs now ridiculously low, there is no point left in sharing solar power with the grid.

At 6 cents per kWh it is not equitable to export power when you have to buy your energy back later at 30 cents. Solar Power Battery Storage is the best way to beat the unfair electricity network and create energy independence today. 888 Solar Tek, a local solar company based in the Northern Rivers, is providing revolutionary new technology that slashes the cost of battery storage, providing 24 hour solar power to homes.

With custom designs based on your energy use, they maximise the benefits of your investment and deliver a cost effective solution for your power needs. They offer a free energy assessment and are delivering hybrid and off-grid power systems that are much cheaper than buying from the grid.

888

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

Government subsidies for solar export to the grid will end this year in NSW. If you are you one of the smart people in the Northern Rivers who are benefiting from the 60 cent per kWh export you will need to make plans for the coming changes.

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

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

The Truth About the

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

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

If you have very low electricity usage you may choose to go off the grid altogether to eliminate fixed supply charges that make up a large part of your bill. 888 Solar Tek have new technologies that can operate both on and off the grid. This makes staged transition to energy self-sufficiency cost effective and avoids costly equipment change-over.

REAL Cost of Solar Batteries...

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

Many new battery technologies have leapt into the solar arena and early adaptors have had mixed reports about the real value of their performance.

Not all that glitters is gold and some of the best PR campaigns have hidden the real cost of new solar batteries.

The real test for new battery technologies is measured by their ability to deliver a cost per stored kWh below grid price. Every battery has a life span in the number of cycles of charge and discharge they can achieve before they lose capacity, with 60% being the standard for end of life. The cost of batteries divided by the cycle life gives the best measure of their value.

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

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

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

888 Solar Tek is the top-selling retailer for solar battery systems in the Northern Rivers. We supply customised new or retrofit systems to match your power use - not a one size fits all package. You get personalised service with free 12 month system monitoring.

The electricity grid is a huge monopoly that serves the large generators and retailers. Selling your solar power for 6¢ per kWh or less is unfair! Beat the network by generating and storing all of your own power now. Call us for free, honest advice before you buy anywhere else.

NSW Solar bonus scheme ends this year!

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

Call us for all your Solar Hot Water needs on 02 6688 4480.

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

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

Motorcycle death rocks family the involvement of motorcyclists in fatal crashes increasing was deeply concerning in 2017.

“This is against the overall trend of road deaths,” he said.

“The events of the last 24 hours (April 30) are particularly disturbing when you consider three motorcyclists lost their lives on NSW roads during the entire month of March 2016.

“While the inquiries into each of these crashes are only in their infancy, I would like to encourage people to be more aware of vulnerable road users such as motorcyclists.

“When you ride, it gives you a different perspective on the behaviour of road users.”

THE SHOCKING death of 25-year-old Murwillumbah man Christopher Brooks who died in a motorcycle accident at Mount Lindesay Road on Sunday, April 30, has prompted a heartfelt appeal to help his partner and young son during an extremely difficult time.

Police said his motorcycle was believed to have left the road and gone into bushland at about 2pm.

He died at the scene and police from Richmond Local Area Command established a crime scene and will preparing a report for the Coroner.

Tweed locals have since been sharing and encouraging the community to provide support to his partner Moana and son Linkin with a GoFundMe campaign set up.

“On the 30th of April, we lost an amazing man in a tragic motorcycle accident. Left behind are his son and partner,” the post reads.

“We as a community are here to rally together to raise much needed funds to ensure both Moana and Linkin are looked after and have absolutely everything they need to get through this time and prepare for the future.

“Every little donation helps and is greatly appreciated.

Much love to everyone who can contribute.”

A goal of $5,000 has been set and the family are already more than halfway.

To find the GoFundMe link visit gofundme.com/moanalinkin-fund.

The death was one of three motorcycle accidents in less than a week on NSW roads.

The number of motorcycle deaths in NSW this year now stands at 23 riders and one pillion passenger, which compares with 20 motorcyclists who died in the corresponding period last year (18 riders and two pillion passengers).

Overall, there have been 21 fewer lives lost on NSW roads compared with 2016 but motorcyclist deaths are up by 20 per cent.

Traffic and Highway Patrol Command’s Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy, himself a motorcyclist, said

The Mayoral Flood Appeal was fast approaching $200,000 at the time of print and the funds will be distributed through at least two rounds.

Mayor Katie Milne said 100 per cent of the funds received will be distributed to eligible applicants (residents and businesses).

“There are no administration fees associated with the appeal,” she said.

Council said the priority focus will be for those people and businesses who have limited access or options to insurance claims, funding or grants and due to this are more likely to slip through the gaps.

Council has also appointed an independent committee, who will join the Mayor of Tweed and Council’s Internal Auditor, to review applications for assistance.

The Application Form is available online via the Tweed Shire Council website or a printed version can be collected at the Murwillumbah Council Chambers or Flood Recovery Centre at Nullum Street Murwillumbah.

Westpac bows to public pressure

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Westpac Bank for changing their sustainability policy which now rules out funding any new coal mines and coal fired generation projects including the proposed Adani coal mine to our north.

I was only one of many thousands of people who made a stand and divested from Westpac due to their recently changed policy to support the Adani mega destructive coal mine.

We n o w a s k o u r Fe d e r a l representative, Justine Elliot to openly oppose the Adani coal mine and the use of tax payer money to fund the $1billion rail link.

The mining, transport, and burning of coal kills people. The world is moving on from this dangerous dirty fuel. Adani companies are under investigation for corruption, fraud, money laundering and tax evasion in India, and nine of the 20 Adani subsidiaries registered in Australia are ultimately owned by an entity registered in the infamous Cayman Islands tax haven. Coal pollution is the biggest driver of climate change.

These wretched plastic bags need to stop - here’s why

Lightweight single-use plastic bags are seen as a cheap and convenient way to transport items from the store to door. The ‘inconvenient truth’ about plastic bags is that this shortterm resource is made from finite fossil fuels, contributing to carbon emissions.

This single-use item is used for an average of 12 minutes before it is discarded as litter or in landfill, where it remains for anywhere between 20—1,000 years.

Plastic bags have devastating long-term effects on human health, the natural environment and the economy.

With eight million tonnes of plastic entering our oceans annually, affecting our food chain, killing off ecosystems, marine mammals, fish and seabirds, as well as clogging up our landfill, Let’s Waste Less believes we can’t ‘waste’ time waiting for the NSW government to act.

We want Murwillumbah to join Uki, Chillingham, Tumbulgum and

others Australian states by getting on the plastic bag ‘ban’ wagon.

Let’s Waste Less is a local notfor-profit committed to community projects because we believe common unity (community) is the basis for a viable and sustainable future.

Our current focus is on plasticfree education, awareness and engagement.

We are committed to helping people in our community access and feel good about safer, healthier environmentally friendly alternatives.

To help our area break ‘bag’ habits Let’s Waste Less is starting a local chapter of Boomerang Bags, a national initiative that invites local communities to use the BB template to make their own bags.

Let’s Waste Less is calling on the support of local sewers in the region who have machines and want to donate their time to help create a sustainable solution to plastic pollution in our region.

They would love to hear from local op shops, businesses and individuals who can donate materials or time to this cause.

University cuts will add to youth issues

Proposed HECS debt changes will exacerbate the youth unemployment problem Graduates are already having a pretty tough time when it comes to transitioning out of education.

Entry level jobs are diminishing, house prices are rising and their levels of debt are only increasing.

Currently, youth unemployment is more than double the national average, at 13.3 per cent, and underemployment amongst this age group is at an all time high.

Further exasperating the problem is the stagnation of full-time jobs, particularly for young people, which have decreased by 2,213 per month, on average, over the last five years.

This means many will turn to parttime work to support themselves but, with the HECS threshold lowered, they’ll still be required to start paying back over $20,000 in fees and course funding.

Instead of looking at claiming back the $52 billion in outstanding student loans, the Government should be looking to create sustainable fulltime jobs for young people, so they can start their careers.

If we can offer young people consistent work, more will be able to repay their debts and in greater quantities.

Considering it now takes on average 4.7 years for young people to find full time work, targeting those underemployed or struggling to find work isn’t going to resolve the problem.

Starting July 1, single homes and duplexes in urban areas of the Tweed will switch to a three-bin system, with organic food and garden waste to be collected weekly.

During the public consultation on the new three bin system, a number of misconceptions came up over and over. These include some of the concerns and issues raised by a letter published in your 20 April issue. The upcoming 3 bin system is designed specifically to divert organic waste away from landfill where it is converted into methane and leachates, both of which pose significant threats to our environment. The State Government has set a target for councils to divert at least 70 per cent of domestic waste away from landfill for beneficial reuse. In order to meet this target, Council will need all our households to participate in the 3 bin service.

It is a legal requirement for councils to charge from the bin service if

On May 4 we commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea, which has been called, “the battle that saved Australia”.

It was fought in waters north east of Queensland, between the Solomon Islands and the eastern tip of New Guinea between 4 and 8 May 1942, where Australian and American ships halted the Japanese invasion of Papua New Guinea.

No Australians were killed in the battle although almost 550 Americans were killed or wounded and the aircraft carrier USS Lexington sunk.

The battle strengthened the strong bond between Australia and the USA. To honour that bond, the Government has approved $25,000 to support a dinner held on the USS Intrepid on May 4, with all money raised used to create an AmericanAustralian Veterans’ Scholarship Fund for disabled veterans to pursue undergraduate or postgraduate study and to support directional scholarship grants between our two nations.

this can be provided. There is no provision to “opt out” of the new system. While we commend and encourage those who compost and make use of their food waste in their own gardens, it is not something we can monitor or expect from the entire community.

While there will be a small increase in waste charges for the 30 per cent of affected households who do not currently have a green bin, we are anticipating a reduction in waste charges for the 70 per cent who currently have the voluntary green bin service. However, it can be guaranteed that If Council did not make this change, every household’s waste charges would eventually go up significantly due to the rapidly increasing costs of dealing with and disposing of waste into landfill, mainly due to the State Government levy.

In regards to concerns about composting, materials such as meat, fish and bones - while not appropriate for a home composting setup due to their tendency to attract vermin - can be safely composted in the specifically designed industrial facility we will use, with biology and heat as the key processes. The green organics bin containing food and garden waste will be collected on a weekly basis, just as the red bin is now, ensuring nothing which breaks down and smells will be sitting for longer than a week (as is currently the case). Because there is no way to compost disposable nappies, these need to go in the red bin, with smell minimised through bagging these items.

The 3 bin system is not a new idea.

It is in use in 28 councils across NSW - including five of our neighbouring councils in the Northern Rivers and many more across Australia.

It relies on very simple technology that has been proven to work over and over again which is why we are adopting it. Asking residents to make a small change in the way they separate and dispose of their waste will make a major difference both to our environment and to the financial cost of dealing with waste in the longer term, which is a responsibility we all share.

Australia must come first

The NSW Liberals and Nationals are transferring as much Crown Land to local councils as fast as they can.

Last year they pushed through new laws so they can transfer showgrounds, community halls, playgrounds and sporting clubs out of government ownership.

But the NSW Liberals and Nationals rejected pleas to require this land to remain as community land.

So, now it can be sold off for development, just like the state government is selling off everything else. The Agricultural Societies Council of NSW for instance has said this will ‘open the doors for showgrounds to be potentially sold off and slated for other development.’

Councils have little say in what land is being transferred to them.

Nor is the Government providing any money to help them pay for maintenance of this transferred land. It’s just more unfunded cost shifting onto local councils and their ratepayers.

Eviction notices hit hard at Gateway

GATEWAY LIFESTYLE Residential Village at Chinderah has been forced to evict more than 15 residents following the Tweed floods, after building inspectors found dangerous levels of mould and deteriorating infrastructure.

The devastating impact from the Tweed floods resulted in many Gateway caravans and demountables being completely inundated and has resulted in the appearance of black mould, which expert assessors fear could place the health of inhabitants at risk.

Gateway Lifestyle Chinderah site manager John Anderson spoke to The Weekly on Tuesday after several residents said they had “nowhere to go” as well as allegations the caravan park was using the floods as a land grab.

“It’s extremely unfortunate that we have had to make this decision across the two Gateway locations,” he said.

“However, this decision did not come from Gateway Lifestyle, instead it was handed down by the insurance company as well as a second opinion sought from the builder’s insurance company who agreed the properties needed to be vacated.

“Both agreed several properties were no longer fit for residents to remain living there and Gateway has acted in the best interest of everyone.”

Mr Anderson said the mould risked long-term health repercussions including potential respiratory diseases and was not worth the risk.

“It’s a heartbreaking decision to have to make to evict these residents,” he said.

“But the health risks are just too high and would endanger those residents if they remained and we needed to make the tough decision.”

The Weekly also received a call from one of the evicted residents, who said she was devastated by the news and added to claims the caravan park was using the floods as a prompt to redevelop.

However, Mr Anderson completely refuted those claims and said the eviction notices had nothing to do with a redevelopment.

“That’s not the objective of Gateway Lifestyle and it will take a long time to redevelop those sites at great expense to make them profitable again,” he said.

“The moment the floods hit, Gateway froze rental payments for the past month, which means residents have been living rent free, we’ve also offered support to those that have been evicted with $500 to assist as well as help from NSW Disaster Relief.”

Mr Anderson said both Gateway Lifestyle Chinderah sites were at capacity, which meant there were limited options for the residents to return.

“Our hands are tied until we can get the insurance sorted out and get back on track,” he said.

“The last time we rebuilt several demountable sites it took almost 10 months, so I could see this taking a lot longer.”

Healing Passion plaque

A GROUP of four Murwillumbah women known as Healing Passion, were recognised for their fundraising efforts at Murwillumbah District Hospital (MDH) on Wednesday, May 3.

The Healing Passion group includes locals Alison Peters, Nicole McDermott, Paris York and Shauna Hughes who presented a plaque representing their more than $10,600 donation to the hospital.

The funds will be split evenly between the Emergency Department and the Birthing Suite to purchase equipment and furnishings.

The four women met their goal of raising $10,000 after completing the 65km Overland Track in Tasmania earlier this year.

They received sponsorship and assistance from local businesses, and were also supported by the MDH United Hospital Auxiliary.

“We walked 65km over five days in a very challenging and cold place,” Mrs Peters said.

“We climbed a chain up the side of a mountain, scrambled up and down rainforest roots, walked an average of 10-hour days all with backpacks weighing 25kg each.

“We absolutely loved what we did for our hospital, even though at times we questioned how we would continue walking.

What an incredible adventure.”

The Healing Passion group were joined by members of the MDH United Hospital Auxiliary, and several of the group’s major sponsors to present a plaque recognising their contribution to the hospital.

Reuse owner Rani Neil is calling for support of South Murwillumbah business as they make the slow push towards recovery.

South Murwillumbah businesses need help on the community and visitors to keep South Murwillumbah in their minds when in town or visiting.

“We really need everyone’s support in South Murwillumbah, to get us back on our feet,” she said.

SOUTH MURWILLUMBAH businesses continue to recover from one of the toughest knocks the shire has experienced on record with doubts still lingering over the future of several local operators.

The carnage remains at the forefront of business owners’ minds, with doors still unopened and mounting debts as well as an anxious wait for insurance claims.

Among those battling to recover include Reuse owner and operator Rani Neil, who has recently re-opened her shop after it had about 30cm of water flowing through it.

“It was big hit for all of the businesses in South Murwillumbah,” she said.

“We’ve all taken a huge hit, I’m still having to find the money for more than $6,000 dollars-worth of stock.”

Rani said she felt for surrounding businesses and has called

Support needed for Jockey Club race meet return Feed-in grid tariff could go up

Jacob Williams, General Manager Brian Charman and Jeff Shapland

THE ICONIC Tweed Valley Jockey Club will make a much-anticipated return to racing on Monday, May 8, for the Mooball Cup Race Day sponsored by the Victory Hotel, with gates opening at 11.30am.

The track and the club took a massive hit during the floods with thousands of dollars worth of damage and disruption to the racing schedule with the cancellation of the Anzac Day Races.

But the support from fellow clubs and local businesses including the Murwillumbah Services Club supplying the Jockey Club with furniture, as well as other support from local businesses such as Larkin Electrical and Mal Graffin has helped the club bounce back.

Tweed Valley Jockey Club General Manager Brian Charman said Racing NSW was also “very supportive” and Tursa Employment helped with the workforce.

“I want to also thank the Jockey Club staff and Directors and especially the Director’s wives, who put in days of hard work to help clean up the club,” he said.

“The bar staff were also cleaning up over Easter and have been such a huge help.

“I can’t believe where we are from a month after the floods.”

Mr Charman said the club was also welcoming a new catering chef Nigel Coulson.

Mr Charman said there had been delays in opening the track to race on Anzac Day, due to the grass condition.

“The track quality is a good four and it’s looking a lot better,” he said.

“The track official will make a call on Wednesday, but we’re confident,” he said.

Mr Charman said the club was hoping for a big turnout.

“I know it’s a Monday, but we’re really encouraging everyone to come down to the Club and visit during their lunch breaks or after work,” he said.

To find out more about the Mooball Cup Race Day or to make a booking phone the Tweed River Jockey Club on (02) 6672 3672.

SOLAR HOUSEHOLDS and businesses could receive higher prices for the power they feed-in to the grid, following the release of a new draft tariff by IPART. Member for Lismore Thomas George said the benchmark feed-in tariff could more than double, and help customers negotiate a better deal from energy retailers.

“I have heard the concerns of solar households and asked IPART to update the benchmark tariff for the energy they feed into the grid,” Mr George said.

“IPART’s draft determination of a fair value for solar more than doubles the previous tariff of 5.5 - 7.2 cents per kilowatt hour, proposing an increase to 11.6 - 14.6 c/kWh. “The tariff is not subsidised by other energy users so it won’t increase power prices. It will help deliver lower energy bills for NSW’s 350,000 solar households,” he said.

Feed-in tariffs are a payment for excess generation fed into the grid. The benchmark range is lower than the amount charged for electricity by retailers as it excludes distribution costs as well as retail services, metering and billing.

Mr George said he welcomes the fairer tariff for local solar households and businesses, and encourages retailers to offer a competitive deal to their customers.

“In my electorate, 8677 households and businesses are generating power from solar systems,” he said.

“More consumers are realising the benefit of installing solar to help keep bills down.

“Consumers can avoid costly energy by consuming as much from solar as possible, and the feed-in tariff rewards the excess power that goes back into the grid.”

“The Government wants to expand access to solar power to help with bills, particularly for vulnerable households through our Home Energy Action Program.

When shopping around customers should consider all aspects of a retailer’s offer, including charges, feed-in tariffs, discounts, late payment fees or early exit fees.

The final tariff determination will be issued in June following consultation. View IPART’s draft report at https:// www.ipart.nsw.gov.au/Home/Industries/Energy/Reviews/ Electricity/Solar-feed-in-tariffs-201718?qDh=0

Apocalyptic film shoot starts soon with massive local crowd needed

Advertorial

Do your pet a favour, book them in for a dental check!

• Reduced chewing activity.

• Dental malocclusion.

• Retained milk teeth.

• Absence of oral hygiene • Breed predisposition • Immune mediated or inflammatory diseases Dental disease can affect every pet in the course of its life, although the prevalence varies depending on the breed and the individual. Cats and small breeds of dogs are more prone to dental disease as they

have smaller mouths containing lots of teeth and generally eat more soft food as part of their diet.

If diagnosed with dental disease, your pet may require a dental scale under general anaesthetic.

This involves scaling and polishing the teeth and removing any tartar that has built up before severe dental disease occurs where extractions may be needed.

During May and June we are offering all dogs and cats FREE dental checks with our qualified nurses.

During this visit we can give you an idea on what needs to be done for your pets dental hygiene. We are also giving all patients having a dental procedure at our clinic a FREE bag of Royal Canin dental biscuits and a greenie to go home with to help prevent tartar build up in the future. Call us on 02 66724322 to book in today.

It’s that time of year again! King street vets would like to remind pet owners how important dental hygiene is, and how your pet can be experiencing pain and discomfort in their mouths without you knowing.

Periodontal disease is one of the most common diseases seen in small animal practice.

Approximately 85% of dogs and 70% of cats over 3 years of age suffer from dental problems. Any animal can be suffering from periodontal disease without showing any obvious signs. Gingivitis is the earliest sign of periodontal disease, and symptoms include redness, inflammation and swelling of gums. Ouch!

And that is just a grade 1 dental disease score.

Certain factors can advance the build up of dental plaque and tartar including:

Wedgetail continues call for government support Chillingham Voices raise WEDGETAIL PALLIATIVE Support continues to the roof for flood appeal campaign for State Government funding after it was

revealed the entire Tweed and Byron Shires are allocated a total of $1 million per year for end of life care.

The budget is so small that it’s taken up entirely by another not-for-profit known as Silver Chain, who use palliative care nurses, a Palliative Care specialist and in-home end of life care packages.

The Weekly questioned both the State Minister for Health Brad Hazzard and the Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) about the funding and included questions around why Wedgetail has not been allocated any government assistance.

In a statement, a spokesperson for NNSWLHD said it was “not in a position to provide financial support to every palliative care provider”.

“As part of a competitive tender process, Silver Chain is NSW Health’s current provider of ‘end of life’ packages in the Tweed/ Byron area,” the statement reads.

“Palliative care funding allocated to the Tweed/Byron region is used to provide community-based services such as specialised palliative care nurses, a specialist Palliative Care physician based at Tweed Heads, and in-home end-of-life care packages through Silver Chain.”

Silver Chain is a not-for-profit organisation delivering community health and care services across Australia.

However, Silver Chain are also not specialists in palliative care but offer a range of services to assist with end of life support.

Wedgetail Retreat Hospice and Tweed Palliative Support president and volunteer coordinator Meredith Dennis heaped praise on the NNSWLHD who she said: “do a great job for our region”.

“When it comes to palliative care, the $1 million dollars that are allocated by the State Government does not go far,” Ms Dennis said.

“It is disappointing to us that the State Government can easily find $2 million dollars in recurring funding for a new and worthwhile Sydney-based hospice for young adults but our award-winning NNSW community hospice has not been funded at all.

“Particularly with the floods and the damage to our Tweed Valley Way Op Shop, the revenue that we rely on to part fund the hospice is dramatically reduced.”

Ms Dennis said Wedgetail now urgently needs $500,000 to pay the annual nursing wages for the hospice.

“At present, we totally rely on the generosity of the community and businesses through their donations and fundraising,” she said.

“Our community not-for-profit hospice services are strongly integrated into the region’s palliative care network.

“Tweed, Murwillumbah, Byron Hospitals and Silver Chain all refer clients to Wedgetail Retreat community hospice.

“We provide care and support for palliative clients in the community, including those with high needs and the disadvantaged.”

Mrs Dennis said the demand for Wedgetail’s palliative care services were increasing.

“Our 24/7 registered nurses and volunteer carers provide end-of-life care beyond the last few weeks of life that is allocated by Silver Chain. Some palliative clients need care for much longer than this,” she said.

“Our charity provides the hospital beds, wheelchairs, portable oxygen, commodes, incontinence products, alternating pressure mattresses and more free equipment for the home hospice Silver Chain clients.

“Additionally, our trained volunteer palliative carers provide support such as respite to their clients.

“All our home hospice services are free and Wedgetail Retreat is free to the disadvantaged or donation-based for those that can afford to pay.”

The destruction at Tweed Palliative Care Op Shop South Murwillumbah

THE CHILLINGHAM Voices concert held on Sunday, April 30 at the All Saints Anglican Church in Murwillumbah was a big success with $2,500 raised for the Mayor’s Flood Appeal.

Deputy Mayor Cr Chris Cherry attended the event along with flood victims from local villages who received complimentary family tickets.

All Saints Anglican Church kindly provided the venue free of charge.

The Hot Chilli Chicks group performed a special arrangement of Michael Kennedy’s song “Lay Fallow” while the Cool Chilli Dudes performed a Russian song “Korobeiniki”.

The choir was lucky to have the services of regular accompanist Lynne Turpie as well as two other accomplished pianists Mary Wiseman and Mary Walters.

Choirmaster Harlie Axford was assisted in conducting duties by Heather Martin, Dean Patterson and Barbara Crellin.

Choir members were pleased to see the full house of people and were thrilled by the audience reception, given that preparation for the concert had been interrupted by the recent flood.

Highlights of the afternoon’s entertainment were solos by Maggie Morrison, Ed Dryhurst and Dean Patterson and musical accompaniments on piano, drums and recorder by Peter Smith, Barbara Crellin and Heather Martin.

For their next concert the Chillingham Voices will make a return visit to Stradbroke Island to sing with another local choir.

Big agenda items for May Councillor meeting Public rally “We Want More” TWEED SHIRE Councillors will discuss and vote on a range of hot topics during their Ordinary Meeting on Thursday, May 11, including two applications for water extraction at Urliup Road, an application to adjust operating house at a brothel in Tweed Heads South and Stone & Wood expansion plans.

The first agenda item for Councillors to consider is 477 Urliup Road, which is an associated application with 5720 Urliup Road.

The Urliup Road application is for mineral-water extraction at, which was approved 13 years ago, however the applicant wants to upgrade the road and expand the size of its trucks from six metres to 19 metres long.

The application has placed a lot of pressure on Councillors, who deferred the matter to the May meeting with a lot of comments and anger from residents who fear an impact to the rural amenity due to truck movement, while others have called for more studies to determine water levels.

“The second application is a new development application with a reference number of DA15/0664 which seeks Council approval to undertake upgrading works (and tree clearing) to the road reserve of Urliup Road to accommodate the proposed 19m trucks for the water extraction business at 477 Urliup Road,” the council document reads.

The council document said the applicant proposed work to 13 bends along Urliup Road stretching along approximately 4km (originally when first lodged works were only proposed to 3 bends, however in November 2016 the amended plans showed works to 13 bends).

“The works currently proposed by the applicant have been costed by the applicant to be in the order of approximately $260,230. The application also proposes offsetting for any trees lost within road reserve, such offsetting would occur within the applicant’s land at 477 Urliup Road, Urliup,” the council documents said.

The recommendation from Council is for “refusal” as it is “not considered suitable to accommodate 19m trucks on the regularity proposed by DA03/0445.03 and “the subject application is not considered in the public interest due to overall safety issues”.

Councillors will vote on the matter on May 11.

Another hot topic for discussion has come from Stone & Wood Brewery, who “is experiencing significant product demand growth”.

The company, which is located at Kite Crescent, is applying to Council to expand its current operations (over the next

five years) and “compete in the Australian market”.

The development comprises the installation of four new 400HL (40,000 litres) fermentation tanks to the west of the existing cellar.

“The western shed wall will be removed and new walls constructed to fully enclose the new tanks,” the application to Council reads.

“Installation of two (2) new 400HL bright beer tanks, two (2) new 800HL fermentation tanks on a new concrete slab to the north of the cellar; installation of Clean In Peace (CIP) tanks adjacent to the new 400HL and 800HL fermenters in the new roofed section.

“The roof will continue at same height surrounding the proposed fermenter tanks, subsequently allowing a covered area surrounding the tanks and upgrade the existing wastewater treatment system for increase capacity.”

The recommendation from Council is for approval of the Stone & Wood Brewery expansion. Councillors will vote on May 11.

Council is in receipt of an application to modify the consent for DA10/0020 for the establishment of a brothel which was approved by the NSW Land and Environment Court on November 22, 2010.

“Prior to this, Tweed Shire Council, at its meeting of May 18, 2010, resolved to refuse the application,” Council documents said.

“The modification proposes to remove a time limit to the hours of operation in order to allow 24 hours per day, seven days per week operation of the brothel.”

The applicant said the 24/7 operation of the brothel, if approved, would enable the business to “operate consistent with the industry practice and the other brothels within Tweed Shire as well as fulfilling a stated demand for services”.

Presently, the hours of operation for the brothel are from 6pm to 6am seven days per week, although it is noted that approval to operate on a 24-hour basis for a one year trial period was approved by Tweed Shire Council in July 2014.

“During this time one submission was received, objecting to the proposal. The application has been referred to the Planning Committee for determination given the Council’s and the community’s interest in the original application,” council said. The recommendation from Council staff is for Councillors to approve the brothel’s application for 24/7.

RESIDENTS STRUGGLING to find affordable accommodation and those displaced by the floods are invited to take part in a peaceful rally on Saturday, May 6, with the slogan “we want more” affordable housing.

The rally will take place at the Knight Park, South Murwillumbah, from 11am and was organised by Thrive 2484 in conjunction with It Takes a Town.

Rally organiser and Thrive 2484 convener Carmen Stewart said the peaceful rally would be a chance for residents struggling to find accommodation to express their concerns.

“Yes, we’ve all been told that it’s rude to ask for more, but with so many people displaced after the floods, more affordable housing is exactly what we need,” she said.

“Prior to the flood, it’s estimated that there were 400 people on the waiting list for homelessness support in our region.

“We have about 40 per cent more homelessness than the rest of the state, and one out of four homeless people in our community are aged under 18. That’s just not good enough, and it can be different.”

Mrs Stewart said prior to the flood the region had a one per cent rental vacancy rate, and as confirmed by last week’s Rental Affordability Snapshot, zero per cent rental affordability for anyone on a low income.

“Around 40 per cent of our households are experiencing rental stress compared to the NSW average of 25 per cent,” she said.

“All of this information confirms what many of us already know. There is a housing affordability crisis in our community - then add in a flood.”

Mrs Carmen said the flood has wiped out 25 rental properties as well as numerous owner-occupied homes and many local caravans.

“With very little rental affordability and social housing stock prior to the flood, we now have a crisis,” she said.

Mrs Carmen said on Saturday, May 6, at 11am hopes to achieve the follow: 1. Let all of the people who have no secure accommodation know that we care.

2. Ask the NSW Government to give us priority access to the $1 Billion Social & Affordable Housing Fund.

3. Ask our own community to get creative in helping the most vulnerable families and individuals who are at risk of homelessness due to the floods.

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you think more needs to be done to improve the rental crisis across the Tweed Shire? What‘s your ideas? Send your letters to editor@theweekly.net.au or drop into 1/12 Queen Street, Murwillumbah.

Labor’s flood package response slams Berejiklian A FLOOD response package prepared by the NSW Opposition Leader Luke Foley has included several possible lifelines such as waiving payroll tax, $100 million in funding to assist North Coast councils and extension of Category C funding to other Tweed Shire villages.

Mr Foley was joined by Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot in Murwillumbah following the floods where he was given firsthand accounts of the loss and devastation.

Throughout the meeting Mr Foley committed to keeping the pressure on the NSW State Government to address the ongoing issues related to the flood, “as a matter of urgency”.

Mr Foley announced on Tuesday, May 2 the release of a non-partisan flood package for the NSW North Coast – “providing a blueprint for the Berejiklian Government to help the community and businesses recover” .

The media statement said the blueprint included the waiving of payroll tax and the setting up of two one-off infrastructure and business assistance funds for businesses and local councils.

“Furthermore, there is an expansion of the existing housing and business flood raising and purchasing plan for those in flood prone areas,” the media statement reads.

“This is in response to on-going discussions and meetings with NSW Labor with political, community and business leaders on the North Coast.

“The Berejiklian and Turnbull governments are being criticised for their failure to appropriately respond to the massive flooding on the North Coast.”

Mr Foley presented an 11-point flood impact recovery package for the North Coast which he said had a particular focus on the communities of Murwillumbah and Lismore.

The NSW Labor plan includes: • A waiving of State Government’s payroll tax for companies in the region for 12 months until April 2018 – which would have been collected by the Office of State Revenue.

• A special one-off specific and targeted fund up to $100 million to assist North Coast local councils with roads, bridges and infrastructure repair directly related to the flood.

• A special one-off specific and targeted major and significant funding package up to $50 million to assist small, medium and large businesses including primary producers to cover cash flow shortfalls due to stock losses and damaged plant equipment as well as re-building.

• Work with the Federal Government and State Government to ensure that the joint Australian Government-State Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA)

Category C payment is made upon approval – recognising they do not have funds to pay for stock or equipment until they have a cash flow.

• Extend the disaster recovery payments to affected areas within the Byron Shire and extend Category C to other areas of the Tweed Shire including Tumbulgum, Burringbar, Stokers Siding, Mooball, and Crabbes Creek; • Increase the funding available for floodplain management grants within the Office of Environment and Heritage from $31 million to $50 million to assist with a range of measures to improve floodplain risk for local government and around homes and businesses –whereby the State Government provides $2 for every $1 spent on flood mitigation measures.

This includes voluntary house purchasing and voluntary house raising (VHR). We propose that it be extended to some businesses who wish to relocate or VHR like those in Lismore and Murwillumbah as discussed with the Tweed Shire Council general manager.

• One-off $2.5 million special fund to construct and/or adapt crisis accommodation for homeless in the region - in conjunction with local homeless service providers.

• Provide $2 million in funding to Destination NSW to fund a one-off targeted tourism promotion to attract visitors to continue the economic flow to the region to remind them that they have recovered from the floods.

• Reimbursement for individuals and families for payments to electricians required prior to Essential Energy re-connecting

power.

• Independent external inquiry into the Lismore and Murwillumbah levees in conjunction with local government, emergency workers and the local community – as to whether they should be increased; redirected or relocated.

• One-off $800,000 assistance to SES branch to update its database and contacts for businesses and families in flood prone areas as a number of businesses were unable to be contacted during the emergency.

Mr Foley said the plan would require cooperation and agreement of all three levels of government – local, State and Federal.

“This response is patterned on the July 1997 Thredbo landslip State Government recovery package announced by the-then NSW Premier Bob Carr,” Mr Foley said.

“The impact has been felt across the whole community from individuals to families to not-for-profit community groups to small businesses and medium to large-sized businesses as well as local government and primary producers, tourism and hospitality sectors.

The lengthy press release said “Labor had recognised the key tourism industries as well as transport, accounting, earthmoving and food manufacturing companies.”

Mr Foley said this was about securing the future of businesses and their communities on the North Coast – especially Lismore and Murwillumbah.

Fire up for the V8 jet sprint superboats

THE THUNDER of V8 Jet Sprint Superboats will return to the Tweed on Saturday, May 27, and Sunday, May 28, to compete in the Australian round of the 2017 V8 Jet Sprinting Championships.

The event will take place at 320 Round Mountain Road, a private property where the owners allow the annual event to occur.

The Australian V8 Superboat Championships is unlike any other motorsport in the world with boats having the capacity to go from zero to 100 km/h in under two seconds, and can pull up to six G-Forces around corners all in a 4.2m speciallymade aluminium boat with a V8 engine.

The race is hard and fast, where the competitors race on a predefined course through the channels with 25 to 30 changes of direction – taking only 45-60 seconds to compete.

Once qualifying is completed, the competitors each run the course with the fastest qualifiers running last. Top 12 turn to top six, and then finally, the top three who go into the final.

According to Jeremy Kincaid, Driver and Team owner of Rogue Racing and one of the Directors of H2O Thunder, the V8 Jetsprint Championships has the exhilaration and speed of drag racing, coupled with the driver and navigator skill needed for rally racing.

“V8 Jetsprinting is an incredible spectator sport, as it boasts adrenaline junkie drivers who use their prowess to out-maneoeuvre their competition on a challenging water circuit,” Mr Kincaid said.

“Each boat competing has a simple set up – aluminium hull, roll cage, a V8 engine and jet unit. It comes down to the skill and finesse of the driver and navigator to find their way around a tight-man-made channel.”

There are three classes: Entry level is the LS class where boats boast a 350ci Chev or LS1 motor with around 400-440 horse power. This is also known as the sportsman class as it is regulated to make it fair across the class.

The 400 class (Group-A) which is powered by a 400ci Chev, which put out around 600-700 horse power and run on aviation fuel.

The Unlimited Superboats which are just that, unlimited. In this class the only limit is your bank balance and horsepower here ranges from 850 up to 2000 and typically run on Methanol, or race quality E85.

EVENT DETAILS WHAT: 2017 V8 Superboat Championships WHERE: Tweed Valley Jet Sprint Club 320 Round Mountain Road, Round Mountain, NSW WHEN: Saturday May 27 – gates open 11am to 2pm (qualifiers) Sunday May 28 – gates open 8:30am to 3pm (qualifiers/finals) ENTRY: $25 per adult

Byrill Creek Bridge opens as council crews crack on

COUNCIL CREWS and contractors have achieved significant milestones this week by reinstating three main thoroughfares severely impacted by the recent flood event.

The Byrrill Creek Bridge reopened on Wednesday, May 3, after the structure was washed away by a rapidly rising Tweed River. As the majority of the original structure could be salvaged from the river and bridge approach, Council crews and contractors were able to complete the necessary work to restore road access in a relatively short space of time.

Council said in a media statement that apart from the four new bridge girders required, enough of the existing bridge was able to be reused to allow a structurally sound single-lane bridge deck to be constructed. Council is currently exploring options for a permanent solution and is in the process of seeking government assistance.

The bridge is now open to through traffic in a single lane capacity. Please travel with extreme caution.

During the hours of 9am to 3pm, the bridge will be under traffic control as the final work is completed. At times this may result in traffic delays of up to 15 minutes so please keep this in mind when planning a journey.

Manns Road in Rowlands Creek has now reopened, with contractors completing a new section of road through private land to allow traffic to pass around the major slip. Thanks to the cooperation of the adjoining landowner, this access was able to be restored within a short time frame, as without the use of this land, the reconstruction process of this road would be significantly extended.

Urliup Road has also reopened this week, with contractors removing two major landslips to allow the community to return to previous travel routines. The restored access to these thoroughfares is a welcome relief to residents in these areas, as travel time starts to return to normal and essential services can resume. Although through access has been restored to these roads, Council strongly urges all motorists use extreme caution and obey all warning signs and traffic control instructions, as there are still hazardous sections that will require further work.

To allow crews to join the through access in some sections, culverts have been widened and roads dug into banks. Some of the work still required will be major repairs that will result in delays and disruptions to access from time to time. Council will keep motorists and residents up to date on further work and anticipated interruptions.

Community support aids Condong Primary School Councillor motion to

THE COMMUNITY has rallied behind Condong Primary School following the Tweed floods as students and staff face a lengthy wait for their school to re-open.

Principal Brendan Quinn said he expected Condong Primary, which was bowled over by the Tweed floods, to remain closed for one to two terms.

“We’re hoping it’s one term, but it’s more likely going to be two terms,” he said.

In the interim, the school’s 52 students have moved to South Murwillumbah Infant School near Greenhills.

“It’s a beautiful little school that was vacant and provided the perfect transitioning site, while Condong Primary is covered under the Government’s insurance,” Mr Quinn said.

Mr Quinn said the community response to support the school had been extremely welcomed.

“We’ve had so much support during this time,” he said.

“The Salt Bar fundraiser and Kingscliff businesses, Terranora Public School, the Taree Country Music Club and Murwillumbah Seniors.

“We’re deeply thankful for the support.”

The Condong Primary School lost 80 per cent of its premises to the floodwater.

“We lost two classrooms, the computer room, library, the whole administration building and the learning and support room,” he said.

“But thanks to all the support we’ve had the students had very little disruption and the parents have also been great.”

offer parking reprieve

TWEED SHIRE Councillor Reece Byrnes will move a motion at Council’s May 18 meeting to introduce an amnesty on parking contribution fees, of up to five parking spaces for any new business in the Murwillumbah CBD and South Murwillumbah for a period of 12 months in the wake of the devastating 2017 weather event.

“The Murwillumbah community has been devastated by this recent weather event and so has local business. Council needs to offer an incentive for new businesses to open up in Murwillumbah,” Councillor Byrnes (pictured below) said.

Parking Contributions are an important payment made by prospective businesses as part of the development application process and ensures parking equity across towns in our shire that use Council assets such as roads and parking spaces.

‘In the wake of this massive flood, Murwillumbah needs business and economic growth to rebound and thrive from this disaster and a waiver for 12 months on parking contributions will take the pressure off new businesses by removing a very large start-up cost.

‘The message this sends to those thinking about starting a business in Murwillumbah after this massive flood is simple: We need you, we need you now and we want to help.’

Councillor Byrnes said.

NOTICE OF MOTION: “A general amnesty/waiver on payment of upfront parking contribution fees, limited to a maximum of 5 (parking) spaces be enacted for the period of 12 months on all new businesses in the Murwillumbah Central Business District and South Murwillumbah (specifically Prospero Street) region.”

AFTER SCHOOL DRAMA CLASSES

The ladies (pictured) were all widows and mostly war widows, who lost their husbands as a result of war.

One lady in the group who had recently lost her husband who served in the Vietnam War said she was not only struggling through the death of her husband, but also the damage done to her property by the recent flood disaster.

Although knowledgeable about the war years, most of the ladies said their husbands wouldn’t talk about the war on their return from active service and most said they never opened up about the war over the years.

The exception was to their doctors and the occasional snippets to their wives.

However, all the widows are proud on Anzac Day, with some marching while others quietly remember in their own personal way.

Two ladies shared a small insight into their stories with The Weekly, but preferred not to be named.

The first widow’s husband was in the navy aboard the ship Shropshire in desperate need of dental treatment.

“His teeth were taken out by an on-board dentist and when the Shropshire meet up with the medical battleship ‘Australia’ plans were made for a mouth plate to replace the teeth,” she said.

“However, it took a whole year for the ships to meet up again and so for that long, 12 months he struggled with eating.”

The second war widow’s husband was sent to Japan as part of the Australian Occupational Forces, to help rebuild part of the country destroyed by nuclear bombs.

“He along with 90 per cent of the troops sent there got radiation cancer and died as a consequence,” she said.

“It wasn’t until the 1990s that our then present government recognised these men as being on active service and so widows could make claim for the war widow pension.”

Kingscliff Laurel Club is a small social group of ladies, all widows. Some war widows, some widows caused by other circumstances. They meet on the third Thursday of the month for lunch and fellowship at the Cudgen Leagues Club. Each meeting involves a local guest speaker.

This month it was Fingal Dune Care organised by the president Kay Bolton Anyone interested in joining Kingscliff Laurel Club should phone: 0401092254.

Upon arrival the rescue crews, were able to stabilise the mower from further sliding down an embankment.

A man was believed to have become entangled in a tree and the jaws of life were used to free him.

“Ambulance Paramedics worked on treating the man whilst rescue crews managed to cut and remove a section from the mower, instantly providing feeling back to the man’s toes and freeing his leg which was entangled between the mower and a tree,” a statement from the Rescue Squad reads.

“He was carried a short distance to a waiting ambulance.”

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was activated but was called off with the patient being transported by road to The Tweed Hospital.

Pat’s lucky cows spent 24 days in cane

THE KENARIE Jersey Stud Farm had a stroke of good luck last week when three prize Jersey cows made their way home following one of the biggest flood events in Tweed’s history.

Owner Pat McDonald said the cows came home after 24 days lost after they had gone missing since the March 31 floods and had likely found themselves surrounded by cane.

“It was amazing to see them, truly remarkable that they survived that long,” he said.

Pat said that although it was a mystery how the cows had survived, it was likely they used the cane to keep them going.

“They would’ve had some fodder to keep them going and it’s possible they were able to get enough water from the cane as well, we’re not sure,” he said.

The cows, who are named Straight Wise, Lacey and Nigella, were somewhat traumatised from their ordeal and have since been skittish and wary of their surroundings.

Jennifer McDonald, Pat’s daughter, said she was “flabbergasted” to see the three cows come home.

“It was amazing to see them return after such a long time,” she said.

“They endured a lot, so it’s quite normal that they’d be experiencing some trauma. Two were mostly fine, although the third had lost a lot of weight” Pat said some tender care and time will help heal their wounds inside and out, as they rebuild trust and confidence.

Although the return of the three Jerseys comes as a relief, the Kenarie Farm lost 17 head in total including two that died of infection due to floodwater.

“There’s been some lasting impacts from the flood,” Pat, who’s Jerseys are considered some of the best in the world, said.

“I’d seen the 1954 floods and the 1973 floods and were about a metre lower than this one and the speed at which the water rose was phenomenal.”

Despite the impact, Pat said the family’s half century cattle sale would go ahead as scheduled on Friday, May 26, at the Tweed River Jockey Club.

The three luckiest cows on the Tweed: Straight Wise, Lacey and Nigella

“We’re pleased to be hosting the sale as normal and there’s a lot of interested buyers coming in, so should be a great day,” he said.

Meanwhile, Pat also emphasised the need for better flood warning systems, which he said used to be fulfilled by local radio announcer Bill Diamond.

“The weather reports used to be excellent, you would be given hourly updates of the river conditions upstream, so you could prepare,” he said.

“The media today is missing the point, all this data that’s being accumulated for the internet is going to the wrong people who can check it all over the world, while the people who need it miss out.”

Pat said farmers needed updates they could take with them in the form or radio broadcasts, “which remain more reliable,” he said.

Pat said since the Government took over emergency broadcasts it’s become a case of the “blind leading the blind”.

“Are farmers supposed to run around looking for signal to get on the internet, when radio can easily provide the information we need directly, and to the people who need it, when it’s needed most” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe a dedicated radio broadcasting service should be used to give vital weather and river information during emergencies? Or do you use social media instead? Give us your thoughts or letters by email to editor@theweekly.net.au or 1/12 Queen Street Murwillumbah.

A shared moment for mothers to remember or to remember a treasured mother

THE MAJORITY of Aussie mums will spend Mother’s Day cooking and cleaning as usual while longing for breakfast in bed and a good lie-in, reveals a survey of more than 16,000 Australian mums.

Chris Hemsworth topped the list of the most preferred Aussie celebrity mums would like as their house-husband (38 per cent), followed by Hugh Jackman (23 per cent).

The least popular was Shane Warne at just 0.45 per cent. Interestingly, Keith Urban scored a slim 7 per cent.

While celebs may be popular, celebrity baby names are less so, with actor Jason Lee’s son’s name, Pilot Inspector, picked as the least favourite baby name, followed by Lara Bingle’s son, Rocket Zot. While mums may fantasise about celebrity house-husbands, the survey suggests it

doesn’t take too much to keep mum happy with the majority (36 per cent) saying all their partner needs to do to get her in a romantic mood is to take her out for dinner, or cook for her at home (24 per cent).

The reality is that only 4 per cent of mums said their partners will cook a special meal for them on Mother’s Day and just 11 per cent will be treated to a meal out.

22 per cent of mums said their partner had actually forgotten Mother’s Day in the past, the survey pointed out.

Mums love their kids though, with 25 per cent saying their preferred Mother’s Day present is a handwritten card from their children.

Kids are top of the list too when it comes to worries with 65 per cent of mums saying their biggest worry is their kids, followed by

When asked if they had $500 to spend on themselves, 50 per cent would spend it on furniture for the family home and 15 per cent would spend it on gifts for their family.

Just 3 per cent would treat themselves to jewellery and 1 per cent to shoes.

Although many mums said they just wanted some time to themselves, the majority (69 per cent) said this was impossible because they are too busy looking after everyone else.

While just 27 per cent of mums are treated to breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day, 55 per cent would like to be.

However, the majority of mums will spend it enjoying a family meal at home.

Real Estate

Sonja Pfister-Skeen at P Smith & Son Real Estate is your Agent of the Week AFTER RELOCATING from the Gold Coast 19 years ago, I found Murwillumbah to be the perfect community to raise a family and develop my career in Real Estate.

Initially working locally in the Hospitality Industry, I developed many lasting friendships and quickly established myself in the area. It was during this time I built the foundations for a successful transition into Real Estate with P Smith and Son in 2009.

My passion for Real Estate is based on the belief that it’s not just about making sales, but forging solid relationships with my Vendors and achieving the best price and conditions for a smooth transaction.

Selling your family home or investment property can be a stressful time therefore you want the agent who always has your best interest at heart.

According to RP Data Core Logic the

median house price in the 2484 postcode is above $400,000.

My expert & professional tips for selling on the Tweed are to not necessarily believe the agent who tells you the highest price, you want the best, fairest price in the current market. Over pricing causes damage to your property, creating longevity in the market raising questions from prospective purchasers. Finally, a first impression is a lasting impression.

Contact me today to discuss your Real Estate needs.

To arrange a meeting with Sonja visit P Smith & Son Real Estate at 85 Murwillumbah Street. Or phone 0412 373 920 or (02) 6672 1007.

Coastal boom reaches Pottsville

Change of Terranora and Banora Point boundary

The Fraser Cove development site Pottsville is a popular place to live and play

HOUSE PRICES continue to boom on the Tweed Coast with Pottsville seeing the biggest growth in house prices over the past 12 months.

What was once a sleepy fishing village has now become a popular place for families and retirees to purchase a home, and with median house prices to the north inching closer to the million dollar mark, Pottsville remains a more affordable place to buy.

According to Core Logic, the current median house price in Pottsville is $595K which has increased by 14 per cent over the past year.

Further up the coast, the Kingscliff median house price continues to show no signs of slowing down with a 12 per cent increase over the past 12 months to $855K. Casuarina remains the most expensive place to buy a house on the coast with the median price climbing 7 per cent over the past year to just under a million dollars at $950K. Bogangar saw the least amount of growth over the past 12 months with a median house price of $580K growing 6.7 per cent.

The big house prices seen to the north are related to the number of newer homes being constructed along with several multimillion dollar properties changing hands. The southern end of the coast consists of more older homes and prices of homes in newer estates in Pottsville are more affordable as they are targeted towards families.

Suburb

The past year has seen a trend away from units on the coast with minimal growth in unit prices in most areas.

Pottsville is the cheapest place to buy a unit on the coast at a current median unit price of $403K which has not grown at all in the past 12 months. During the past 12 months there have been more houses sold than units in Pottsville with 134 houses sold and 91 units sold.

Kingscliff also saw 134 houses sold, whilst 168 units sold. Unit prices in Kingscliff lost 3.5 per cent over the past year to a median price of $430K. The median unit price in Casuarina increased by less than half a per cent over the past year to a median price of $452K. The only area on the coast to see growth in unit prices was at Bogangar where unit prices increased by 19 per cent to $416K. These figures are backed up by CoreLogic’s Pain and Gain December quarter report which showed that more than twice as many units in the Richmond-Tweed area were being sold at a loss compared to houses.

Growth in the property market throughout the region remains strong with the area having its lowest proportion of loss making sales since July 2010 and down from a peak of 25 per cent four years ago.

According to the report, confidence in regional coastal and lifestyle markets such as the Tweed will remain strong throughout 2017.

A PROPOSAL by Tweed Shire Council to amend the locality boundaries of Terranora and Banora Point at the site of the Fraser Cove development is currently on public exhibition.

Travelling North performance not to be missed

PERSONAL SHOPPER

77092

The film audiences who last year enjoyed watching Clouds of Sils Maria will surely be interested in the new film by French director Olivier Assayas, starring again Kristen Stewart - as in the previous film but this time in the protagonist role.

Actually at the beginning of the film Stewart’s character seems very similar to the celebrity assistant she played in Clouds of Sils Maria; in Personal Shopper she is Maureen, a young American who is working in Paris and whose job involves going from one fashion salon to another in order to buy clothes for her client - a celebrity who doesn’t have time or the inclination to do her own shopping.

She never meets her client and is forbidden to try on the clothes that she buys for the client.

But Maureen is also a medium, who has recently lost her twin brother to heart disease, and is waiting for a “signal” from him… eventually a signal arrives, but through a phone message. Is that from her dead brother or from an unknown living person? Things become very complicated…

The film is a ghost story with all the clichés that come with it, but beyond the suspense lays an investigation on the origin of fear, on the need to believe in life after death in the age of technology, and on the search for personal identity.

With this film Assayas has won the best director award at the Cannes film festival.

Ms Irving has assembled a quality cast for Travelling North, including David Thomas as Frank, Bryanne Jardine as Frances, Rachael Gorham as Helen, Jacqui Harris as Sophie, Stuart L’Estrelle as Freddy and David Sunter as Saul.

Travelling North will be staged at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre on May 26 and 27 and June 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 7.30pm.

There are two matinees on June 4 and 11 at 2pm.

Tickets are $20 and are available online at murwillumbahtheatrecompany.com, from Electronics Murwillumbah in Main Street, or at the door.

Seating will be cabaret style and patrons are invited to bring their own food and drink. For enquiries, please phone Lesley on (02) 66726753.

THE BRILLIANCE of playwright David Williamson will be on show when the Murwillumbah Theatre Company presents his classic comedy, Travelling North, from May 26 to June 11.

Travelling North is a heart-warming story about a twilight love affair between Frank and Frances. Frank is in his 70s, a retired civil engineer with socialist leanings and Frances, in her late 50s, is a God-fearing, good-natured woman.

Together, they travel north to find their place in the sunny sub-tropics of Tweed Heads, much to the consternation of Frances’ conventional children in Melbourne, daughters Helen and Sophie. They fear that Frank is using their mother as a live-in nurse and servant and are also concerned that they no longer have the services of a doting grandmother.

Frank is blissfully happy, despite putting up with nosy neighbour Freddy. But Frances is less content, with nothing to do and her family far away. And when Frank’s new doctor Saul diagnoses heart disease, trouble is on the horizon.

David Williamson is Australia’s most significant and prolific playwright, with a string of successful plays (and films) to his credit including Stork, The Removalists and Don’s Party. Travelling North is his first play to have strong female voices out front – and is all the better because of it.

Travelling North premiered in 1979, the year that David Williamson moved from Melbourne to Sydney, a major event in his life. It is regarded as a tribute to the generations that fought for change in the years leading up to the early 1970s, when this play is set Travelling North was made into a feature film in 1987 starring Leo McKern, who received an AFI Award as Best Actor and Williamson the honours for Best Screenplay.

Director, Penny Irving has worked in professional and amateur theatre for 30 years. Since “travelling north” Penny has directed the play Honour and ran a Director’s Workshop for The Drill Hall Theatre in Mullumbimby. This is her first play with the Murwillumbah Theatre Company.

Local Environment Day back again

y a D s ’ r e Moth High Tea

THE CALDERA Environment Centre’s annual World Environment Day Festival is back again, weather permitting, on Sunday June 4 at Knox Park.

The event was marred by bad weather last year that eventually resulted in the event’s cancellation.

But the event is back for another year with this year’s United Nations theme being Connecting People to Nature.

Event organiser Ari Ehrlich said the theme would invite everyone to think about how we are part of nature and how intimately we depend on nature to survive.

“Nature challenges us to find fun and exciting ways to experience and cherish this vital relationship,” Mr Ehrlich said.

Guest speakers have already confirmed for the event including Steve Harris the CEO of ENOVA, our own community owned electricity retailer.

“Enova now has close to 2,500 customers and is the industry leader in offering 12 cents per Kilowatt hour,” Mr Ehrlich said.

“The team is working on new plans to support local energy generation.

Your questions will be answered at the presentation or at the Enova stall.”

Other guests include Andrew Price and

Kacey Clifford from the Tyalgum Energy Project.

“They are bringing two designs of electric bicycles, which have been available for hire from the Tyalgum store,” he said.

“Greg Reid from Tweed CAN (Tweed Climate Action Now) will give us the latest information about solar generation.”

Tweed Shire Council will have informative hands on workshops plus The Pitts Family Circus, whose newest one-year-old addition to the troupe, has already been part of several performances - when in the right mood.

The day will also include the Hoopla Kids Circus, workshops and kid’s space.

Music from Taraf Tambal- Balkan Gypsy band, Local bands Monkey and The Fish and Broadfoot, will put a smile on everybody’s face.

“We have great healthy yummy, vegetarian food sourced from local growers and producers,” he said.

“There will be environmental stall holders and sustainable businesses and community groups and environmental books may be borrowed at the library stall.”

THE RECENT record-breaking floods may have destroyed many a home and business in the Tweed region, but in its wake it has restored the values and community spirit within the area.

When the Condong Bowls Club suffered immense damage local Tweed Clubs including Tweed Heads Bowls Club, Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club, Twin Towns and Murwillumbah Services Club along with assistance from Clubs NSW stepped in to help out a friend. After three weeks of hard work and with the help of many Condong Bowls Club officially reopened their doors on Monday, April 24.

But the help didn’t stop there. Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club General Manager Phil Kelly and The Surf Club Coolangatta General Manager Bryan Jones put the challenge out to local clubs to ‘Donate a Keg’ to assist Condong with their supplies and after three long weeks for the locals no

doubt demand.

The response was overwhelming with clubs from both sides of the border taking up the challenge. 15 kegs were delivered to Condong Bowls Club on Thursday, April 27 much to the surprise and relief of their Club President Bob McBurney, Treasurer Col Douglas, and Secretary Manager Kerry Campbell. In total, 22 kegs have been donated from surrounding NSW and Southern Qld clubs.

Many thanks goes to all clubs in the Tweed, Kingscliff, Cabarita, Pottsville and Murwillumbah, as well as to the following Gold Coast clubs; The Surf Club Coolangatta; BMD Northcliffe Surf Club; Kurrawa Surf Club; Burleigh Bears Leagues Club; North Burleigh Surf Club and Currumbin RSL. Your kind donations and contributions have and will go a long way to assisting Condong Bowls Club get back on their feet.

The Wonderful World of Woofing

with Fran Rabbitts TRAVELLERS ARE increasingly turning to the wonders and worldwide movement known as “WWOOFING” or Willing Workers on Organic Farms Association.

WWoofing opens up worldwide travelling and it`s an affordable and safe way for young travellers to experience cultures at the grass roots level.

The Wwoofer lives with a host on a farm and is welcomed as a family member.

The Willing Workers on Organic Farms Association first started in England in 1972, in response to a growing interest in sustainable living meeting many young travellers’ desire to move away from the cities

and experience a country lifestyle. It has since become an international organisation.

Fingal Head Community welcomed Isabel Poess, 24, from Germany who recently graduated with a pharmacy degree after five years of University study.

Now what? She needed a complete break from the intense regimentation of study, but what would she do? Many friends had travelled to Australia backpacking and recommended it to her.

“They told me the environment was really impressive so totally different compared to Germany being with a climate range from snowy mountains to tropical rainforests and vast areas of inland desert,” Ms Poess said.

“I heard about the Wwoofing organisation through a travel agency and joined because it is a safe and genuine opportunity to experience the country from a local perspective.

“It was so easy! I just downloaded the App on my mobile phone contacting a registered farm in Victoria and later moved to a farm

near Byron Bay. “I`d expected large farms with varied crops, animals and many workers and was pleasantly surprised by the number of small family lifestyle farms who supported themselves and produce crops for sale.

“While Wwoofing I was accepted as a family member in their house and was impressed by their friendly, open minded attitudes.

“We shared meals and light farm chores and I was shown many places in the region.

I was introduced to, and socialised with many of their neighbours and they were all friendly and welcoming.”

The host offers accommodation and food in exchange for 4-6 hours work by agreement.

It may include picking fruits or vegetables, weeding, planting trees, mulching, caring for stock and even some computer work or helping around the house.

“I think Wwoofing is the best experience I have ever had, because you get to know the local people, their culture and their life,” Ms

Poess said.

“It feels like home where they went so did I. It was really special for me because being a city girl I’d never gathered crops from the fields and gardens or worked closely with animals.

Fingal Head NSW was my next Wwoofing experience. Here 30 years ago a small dedicated conservation group was formed to restore the littoral forests destroyed by sand mining in the 1950s and 60s.

“My hosts were forest regeneration experts mostly retired and I was really impressed because these retirees do so much for the environment. In Germany I live in the city where the environment is not that obvious to me. So this is a totally different experience for me, planting trees and caring about the environment,” she said.

“I would recommend Wwoofing to any young travellers, I was amazed by things I`ve never done before like driving a quad bike and a tractor and I experienced the real lifestyle of this subtropical area. I will always remember my time here as a positive experience.”

The end of an era

THE LAST CITY V COUNTRY gets played this weekend and I personally think it’s a real shame.

As a Murwillumbah boy and a proud Country boy it’s a blight on our game that this fixture will disappear. Growing up I recall watching Daley Stuart Gaffey Kosef playing for country having a real crack at the city slickers. It was a genuine Origin trial but hasn’t been for some time unfortunately. Once it’s gone it doesn’t return as media and tv rights control the game now and what we watch and when we watch it, but without the money the game doesn’t exist. The Anzac test is a great tradition and always an exciting game to watch. You hear the term ‘loyalty’ and ‘incumbents’ thrown around a lot at this stage

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

of the year and more so at Origin time in relation to who gets picked.

Mal has shown tremendous faith in those that won the four nations last year and fair enough, but there is a few selected out of form and probably a few in cracking form not present. I do agree with the stance on Papali and it happened to Fifita last year. You have a role and responsibility off the field also to uphold as a Kangaroo. The junior Kangaroo’s v the junior Kiwi’s will be a beauty also and congratulations to Murwillumbah product Reece Robson in his selection in the side.

Penrith are really under the pump with a 2/9 start to the season. They were hard done by with the first try last week but the Broncos absolutely blew them off the park, they did show a 15 minute glimpse of what they can do but they need to produce that

Footy Tipping Gurus POINTS LADDER

for 80mins and quickly. Manly were pretty impressive and have strung three in a row together but many questions need to be asked of the 2014 premiers in Souths – they are miles off the pace.

The competition bench mark once again is the Melbourne Storm. They are such a well balanced and structured team and Billy the Kid back in form is a scary thought. The Dragons showed they are pretty much a one man team with Widdop and when the pressure was off they produced some good footy – but the horse had bolted and they were no match whatsoever for the Storm. Enjoy the rep weekend, it’s the best of the best.

The local derby between Cudgen and Murwillumbah is on Sunday at Ned Byrne Oval Cudgen. The competition favourites versus the reigning premiers, should be a great game.

See you at the footy Quinny

Brodie wins top praise as she climbs ladder

MURWILLUMBAH RESIDENT Brodie Quinn was named Indigenous Trainee of the Year at the 2017 HVTC Excellence Awards in Newcastle on Friday, April 28.

Brodie, 18, was recognised for her work with her employer SAE Group.

Despite only being half way through her Certificate III in Business Administration, Brodie has already impressed her host employer and co-workers with her maturity and dedication.

After working full-time to put herself through Year 11 and 12 at TAFE in Wodonga, Brodie decided to make the move north where she worked as a barista before applying for the Business Admin traineeship with HVTC Northern Rivers and SAE Group in Tweed Heads.

Brodie feels that the traineeship has given her a firm grounding from which she will never look back.

“I have learnt how to interact with customers, both over the phone and in person, in a manner that enables me to assist them. I have also learnt how to raise invoices, request and process payments,” she said.

“So far the traineeship has helped my organisation, time management and language skills. I also feel more confident than ever.”

Solar General Manager at SAE Group, Raymond Pantic, says Brodie is an outstanding trainee whose work ethic is exemplary.

“Her efforts in the workplace are of a superior standard for her age and, as a company, we have already earmarked her for a permanent position upon completion of her

traineeship,” Mr Pantic said.

Meanwhile, Days Machinery Centre based in Casino was recognised as the Small Host Employer of the Year category.

Since 1951, Days Machinery has grown from a small nursery into a popular business specialising in agricultural machinery and lawn care products for the Northern Rivers community.

The company believes that an essential part of their growth and success has been good management and skilled staff who are well trained in the safety and technical aspects of the business.

Days Machinery Centre Director, Graeme McKenna, said the business has supported the education and training of nine HVTC Northern Rivers apprentices since 2009.

“We’ve had apprentices in Automotive Mechanical Technology, Heavy Vehicle Mobile Equipment, Mobile Plant Technology and Automotive Sales with most receiving an offer to stay on with our business after the completion of their training.

“Our three current HVTC apprentices are completing a Certificate III in Power Equipment Technology and the Certificate III in Agricultural Mechanical Technology.

“Days Machinery staff are trained and knowledgeable about the products so they are able to supply parts and service the machinery we sell,” Mr McKenna said.

The Indigenous Trainee of the Year Award was sponsored

by Klosters and the Small Host Employer of the Year Award was sponsored by C.ex Group.

Grants to volunteer groups

COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS in the Richmond electorate will share in more than $90,000 in Federal funding through the Volunteer Grants program, announced

by Local MP Justine Elliot this week.

Mrs Elliot said 24 local organisations (see full list below) have been successful under the program and that the grants, which range between $1000 and $5000, will help volunteers meet the rising costs of running a not-for-profit organisation.

“As your local MP I recognise and acknowledge the invaluable contribution volunteers make to our region.

The work of these organisations is the life-blood of our community.

“The successful organisations will receive grants of between $1,000 and $5,000 to help community organisations to purchase much-needed equipment or as a contribution towards training courses and assisting with the transport costs of volunteers.

THE POTTSVILLE Fishing Classic has been hailed another big success, according to organisers the Lions Club of Tweed Coast South president Debra Goven.

Mrs Goven said the April 29 weekend event attracted about 130 competitors with some golden catches entered into the winners circle this year.

“I’d like to firstly give a big thank you to major sponsors Pottsville Beach Sports Club, David’s Concrete and Asphalt Solutions, North Star Big 4 Hastings Point and Lions Club of Tweed Coast South,” she said.

“The fish auction was also a lot of fun this year with plenty of quality fish distributed.

“Thanking all the community and competitors for your support.”

The winning mystery fish was a Dart this year with first place going to Mark Bonnor who picked up $1,500 and a nine foot rod. Second place went to Caresse Cranwell who won $1,000 and a nine foot rod.

Winners of the raffle were: First prize $3,000 - David Sammut. Second prize $1,500 - Grant Lavender. Third prize $1,010 and accommodation at North Star Big 4 Hastings Point - Carly Manning and Fourth prize $500 - Kevin Beam.

Great haul for Pottsville Fishing Classic

Common Misconceptions -While Mount Everest is officially the tallest mountain in the world, it technically may not be. The summit of Everest is officially higher above sea level than the summit of any other mountain, but Mauna Kea is the tallest when measured from base to summit. However, the record books deem it the tallest because it has the highest peak on Earth.

-Gladiators didn’t kill each other as often as you might think.

The most prized fighters were worth a lot of money as trained entertainers and many lived very long lives. A grave found at Ephesus in 2007 Turkey found the remains of 67 men aged between 20 and 30. Many had sustained serious wounds but they had healed over time, suggesting they had been prized individuals with access to medical care.

Featured Business

Swap a Bottle is a locally family owned & operated Lp Gas supply business which prides itself on great service and competitive pricing.

Based at 10 Kite Crescent Murwillumbah, we service all over the local area with distributors also based from the Gold Coast to the Tweed Coast.

We offer “no Rental” fees on our cylinders and you can even drop in and pick up a large gas bottle and have your own bbq bottle filled onsite for $20 while you wait!

Amy and I were born & raised in Lismore NSW, Moving to the Tweed over 20 years ago. After almost 30 years continued work for a large gas corporation it was time to start our own small gas business while starting our own family.

We started small in gas fitting then moved into outdoor heater hire and gas supply to restaurants.

With such support & demand we broadened into gas swab cages and then eventually the large 45kg cylinders.

It’s been rewarding having our family grow alongside our business. Both of our children enjoy local sports and as such we’ve been proud sponsors of Seagulls Jrl and Bilambil Touch Association for many years.

Murwillumbah is a great town to be established in, with many local families and businesses supporting us. We enjoy the same privilege using the quality trades and suppliers the town has to offer.

With winter fast approaching we would love the opportunity to help you out with Lp gas needs!

Give us a call on 1300 727 013 or send us an email swapabottle@bigpond.com. Check out our website for more info at www.swapabottlegas.com or drop in!

Your gas cyclinder must be in test and in good condition.

Tweed Ball Series kicks off at Stokers Siding THE FIRST ball of the Tweed Ball Series was held last Saturday, April 29 at the Stokers Siding/Dunbible Hall with a great night had by all at the family friendly event.

This is the 46th year of the Tweed Ball Series which is run by the Tweed Combined Country Halls Association, a voluntary group that runs the entire series not-for–profit.

Nine country halls are participating in this year’s series and the organisers are hoping to see some new faces on the dance floor.

The evenings are alcohol free events with something for the whole family.

The dances are mainly ‘old time’ with a few new vogue, a short set of rock’n’roll, and some old favourite line dances. Attendees may participate in the title dance which is a Pride of Erin, or choose to just watch.

The dress code is semi-formal, with many of the girls going formal.

After the titles dance there is a supper break provided by the local hall and included in the admission price.

All winning ladies receive a sash and the men a medallion and small gift.

Winners of each ball go on to the final ball at the Catholic Hall in Murwillumbah on August 5.

Judges Jan and Ken Dudgeon chose the following winners on the night • Miss Stokers Siding/Dunbible: Shari Keanie of Mooball • Tiny Tot Miss: Isabella Peard of Uki • Tiny Tot Beau: Liam Keanie of Mooball • Junior Miss: K.D. Bullus of Murwillumbah • Matron: Barb Morse of Murwillumbah • Senior Beau John Argent of Murwillumbah All are welcome to attend the next ball at Pottsville this Saturday, May 6.

HOCKEY with Richard Phillip

Casuarina’s Abel East tries to evade Kingscliff player Mick Kennedy

IN THE Men’s compeition there was only one game due to a very disappointing forfeit by Murwillumbah.

The other game between Kingscliff and Casuarina saw a very hard fought win to Casuarina 4/2. This was far from an easy game for the Casuarina side as Kingscliff lead by Chris Faye and two brilliant drag flick shot corner goals by Matty Sing really saw them on top for most of the game.

The most pleasing thing from the game for Kingscliff was their young gun Hayden Mangelson with his leading and ball running which has now cemented his place in the side The women’s first grade competition are playing a combined competition with the Lismore teams at home in Murwillumbah on the International Artificial Hockey Field.

Casuarina who are missing several of their young guns playing in the Australian Under 18 national titles had a big win over East Lismore.

Casuarina gave East Lismore a hockey lesson 5/0 win that showed a lot of determination, skill and fitness. Goals went

to Jade Reid, Sara Pereira, Georgina Page, Page Armstrong and Chloe Jones.

Also in Murwillumbah was a hard fought games between Murwillumbah and Ballina.

Murwillumbah scored first from Sam Iwanuscha but only to see Ballina hit back with two quick goals to go to the lead which they held for most of the game before Murwillumbah’s Kelly O’Gorman equalised and then with seconds left a Sam Iwanuscha shot that hit the post nearly got them the win.

Over in Lismore Kingscliff got a win with a single goal to Sam Morton from a short corner to see them win 1/0 over Northern Star.

Also in Lismore Mullumbimby who played Glee who came away winners 4/2.

Mullumbimby had a great fight back in the second half as Glee Lismore’s best team went to the half time break 4/0 up . The Mullum girls really tightened up their defence and made better passing choices which were rewarded with goals to Teresa Reynolds and Brooke Riley which saw a 2/0 second half to Mullum which was very pleasing.

POLICE BEAT Fuel thieves hindering Council’s recovery efforts

Car laden with drugs crashes into tree at Chinderah

STOLEN FUEL from a crucial Tweed Shire Council excavator is costing time and money as well as throwing a spanner in the works for the recovery effort.

Council said in a media statement the thieve(s) syphoned the fuel tank of an excavator working to replace culverts at Palmvale Road, Palmvale.

Council said the situation was made worse when the thieves left the fuel cap off allowing the remainder of the fuel to be contaminated by rainwater, requiring the machine to be serviced.

Possibly those same thieves struck again on Wednesday, April 26, during the evening. However, this time they may have taken more than diesel, council said, after crews could not restart the machine despite refuelling it.

Flood damage estimates for the Tweed Shire sit between $50 and $60 million. The figure for roads and bridges alone is $20 million.

“This is deplorable and absolutely gutting for the men on site and in the workshop,” said Manager Infrastructure Delivery Tim Mackney.

“When you appreciate that we lost one-quarter of our plant and fleet, plus had our entire fuel stores contaminated by floodwater when the Buchanan Street Depot went under, to now rob our crews of the practical work they can achieve to repair roads and bridges and support the community recovery is a low blow.”

“Adding another tank of fuel to the bill may seem insignificant but when the theft of fuel and damage to plant puts a crew out of work for a day or two that affects everyone.”

Council urges members of the public to report any suspicious behaviour at our work sites after hours by noting a vehicle description and registration number and calling Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Council’s after hours number on 1800 818 326.

A 30-YEAR-OLD Dunbible man will face a range of charges after he crashed his car into a tree at Chinderah on Saturday, April 22.

Police said it was around 9pm when they were called to Chinderah Road following reports of a car crashing into a tree.

Witnesses told police they had seen the 30-year-old leave the drivers seat of the car and fall over next to the vehicle.

Police and ambulance officers arrived at the scene a short time later and the man was taken by ambulance to The Tweed Hospital, where he was treated for a broken leg.

Police said a search of the man’s car had located methylamphetamine, cocaine, cannabis, MDMA, a quantity of cash, a knife and equipment used for the alleged supply and use of prohibited drugs.

A check on the man’s driver’s licence also revealed it was disqualified until 2028 for numerous traffic offences.

On Monday, April 24, the man was released from hospital and was arrested.

He was charged with a range of offences including possessing a prohibited weapon without permit, four counts of possessing prohibited drugs, goods in custody suspected of being unlawfully obtained, supply prohibited drug, drive vehicle whilst licence is disqualified and negligent driving.

Police are still waiting for the results of blood tests to determine if the man was affected by alcohol and or drugs.

The man was bailed refused to appear before Lismore Local Court on June 20.

Police find pot plants at Murwillumbah man’s home

A 55-year-old Murwillumbah man has been charged with cultivating prohibited plants after police discovered 17 cannabis plants at his home.

Police said they attended the man’s home on April 24 for an unrelated matter when they allegedly saw a number of pots that had cannabis plants growing in them.

The plants were seized and the man was bailed to appear before Murwillumbah Local Court on June 27.

Foot chase after man robs Tweed jewellery store

TWEED POLICE have charged a 29-year-old Elanora man with shoplifting and two counts of assault after he asked to look at an expensive ring in a Tweed Heads jewellery store and then bolted off on foot.

Police said it was about 10.40am on Thursday, April 27, when the man entered the jewellery store where he allegedly asked to see a ring valued an $1199.

The staff told police the man then ran off without paying for the ring.

Whilst running, it was alleged the man pushed one female staff member although the push did not result in any physical injuries.

Police said a second male staff member gave chase, however the thief turned and allegedly assaulted the second staff member resulting in cuts and bruises to the facial area of the

staff member.

A security officer nearby was able to detain the shoplifter and police were called.

The ring was recovered and the man was charged with shoplifting, common assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

He was bailed to appear before the Tweed Heads Local Court on May 15.

Banora Point woman charged with fraud

TWEED POLICE have refused bail to a 20-year-old

Banora Point woman who did not pay a taxi fare and was found hiding in a wardrobe.

Police said on Saturday, April 22 at around 5.30am it is alleged the woman entered a taxi in Bay Street, Tweed Heads and was dropped off at a Banora Point address.

“The female allegedly did not pay for the fare and began arguing with the female taxi driver,” police said in a media statement.

“During the argument the taxi driver sighted a large kitchen knife in the female’s bag.

“An altercation between the females took place and passing motorist came to the aid of the driver. The female ran off.”

Police said they visited a Banora Point home on Friday, April 28 and arrested the woman who was hiding in a wardrobe.

The woman was charged with dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception.

She also had an outstanding warrant issued at the Lismore District Court for aggravated break and enter and stealing, possessing a prohibited drug and entering enclosed lands.

The female was refused bail and appeared before the Lismore Local Court on the May 1.

Woman charged with stealing rum and vodka

A 28-YEAR-OLD female has been charged with shoplifting after she stole two bottles of liquor from a Tweed Heads South bottleshop.

Tweed Police said on Friday, April 28 the woman allegedly stole a one-litre bottle of vodka and a one-litre bottle of Bundaberg Rum valued at $100 and entered a vehicle.

Police visited the home of the registered vehicle owner and located the woman who allegedly sold the two bottles for $50.

The woman was charged with shoplifting and will appear before Tweed Heads Local Court on May 15.

Bowls Notes The Tweed Byron District Women’s Bowls Association Novice Singles Competition, especially formulated for players with less than five years experience was held at the Condong Bowls Club last weekend.

The competition was very successful with 26 entries from the newer players, many of whom have only been playing less than three years.

A very high standard of bowling from all contestants remained consistent throughout the tournament.

Semi-final one and Cabarita’s Karen Cranwell and Kingscliff’s Kerry Leslie faced off again as they did at this point in last year’s contest. With both girls bowling well, a battle royal ensued.

Kerry led all the way with a small margin and once again, with surplus

with Judy Tuckey

shots in hand, closed the game victorious.

Semi-final two and an experienced Jenny White of Kingscliff was challenging Byron Bay’s Linda Child – a very new novice, with less than two years’ experience on the greens, who had been very successful in previous rounds.

While Jenny led all the way with a comfy margin, the scoreboard didn’t indicate just how well Linda performed as she made her opposition work hard for every shot to take the game.

The final between Kingscliff club mates, Kerry Leslie and Jenny White, was a thriller of the highest degree. With the girls matching each other end for end and the score on 11-11, Kerry then picked up a 2 but Jenny retaliated with a 3 on the next end to initiate a break

away. Hammering away, Jenny, refusing to allow Kerry any more than four shots in the remaining hard fought ends, was able to close the game and claim victory with a comfy margin.

Championships around the district clubs are also under way at present. Last week’s Cabarita’s Singles final evolved into a great contest between June Foran and Sue Goode. With a high standard of bowling on display scoring was close throughout the match. However, with the score board reading 13-13, Sue stepped up a notch, took control and closed the game, claiming victory, with shots to spare.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC – Keith Kennedy The “Cudgen Coldies” AGM had an attendance of 30 members which should ensure a good season ahead.

Adam Mills took the chair for the election of officers as follows: President – “King Crab” Tom Gee Vice-President – Mark O’Donoghue Secretary – Peter Gielis Treasurer – Belinda O’Donoghue Captain – Felicity Maitre Race Secretary – Kylie Gielis IRB Co-ordinator – Darren French Adam spoke about the winter time keeping

members active which is great for the club overall.

Last season 63 members participated in the Sunday morning swim to a nominated time.

There were excellent turnouts to the carnivals throughout the season although results were not as expected from previous years.

Outgoing President, Tom Gielis said they were looking for larger numbers for 2017 and everyone is welcome. We are a fun and happy Club and would love to see new faces.

The “Coldies” again will affiliate with the

Australian Winter Swimming Association with the titles this year being held in Southport on September 10.

After the meeting a non point score swim was won by Barry Clough. Tom Gielis redeemed himself winning the worst soup of 2016 by providing a spectacular soup for the start of the season.

The Old Boys Association also had their AGM on Sunday with a good attendance.

The Association during 2016-17 provided financial assistance to the Club and members for pool rescue, junior members to attend the North Coast Academy of Sport, an education trip to Ghana, seven members to represent NSW Country to New Zealand, state pool representative to NZ, purchase a gear container and assist carnival expenses and architect fees, a total of over $17,000.

The Surf Club President spoke of the achievements of the Club and thanked the

WELL IT all goes down this weekend at Duranbah Beach for final event of the WSL Subway Pro Junior Series. Not only is their cash and glory, but the top four men, and the top two men will gain a spot in the WSL World Junior Titles for the Australasian Oceania region.

It is the girls who reside on the Tweed Coast who will battling it out for the two spots and the title. Currently 17 year old Snapper Rocks Surfrider Alyssa Lock holds a narrow ratings lead over 13 year old Pottsville whizz-kid, Zahlli Kelly. Mollymook surfer now Tweed Coast resident, Sophia Fulton close by in 3rd place. Lock will have to get better than a third place to increase her series points lead, where Kelly needs to better a 5th place to increase her score only 80 points behind Lock, and Fulton needing to better a 5th place as well and only 85 points behind Kelly. The three local girls will be looking to make every post a winner, and qualify for the World’s.

For the men, Sunshine Coast Surfer Reef Hazlewood is basically unbeatable, but local surfers Liam O’Brien (Burleigh) and Dextar Muskens (Snapper) looking to find themselves in the top four by the end of the weekend and qualifying for the World Junior Championships. Competition is slated for Duranbah Beach starting 8am Saturday and wrapping up Sunday Afternoon. I will be on the microphone over the weekend, so I will have a full wrap for you next week.

Dorrington’s Midget Magic Gets Mad Huey’s Win in Bali

Kingscliff’s Jenny White - 2017 Novice Singles Champion

Skulling a shoey in the pools at Kommune at Keramas, Brent Dorrington had had a huge week and an excellent win to take out his sponsor’s event the Mad Huey’s Pro Keramas.

Not only did Dorrington take down a top class field including current World Tour surfers including Sebastion Zeitz and Adriano DeSousa, but he also had to overcome his brother Luke’s bucks party the night before the final day.

from Teenage Indonesian ripper Rio Wioda.

The BIntangs from the Golden Shoe trophy tasted pretty good to Dorrington, who’s last win was the Highland Pro in Scotland a few years ago, where he won a huge broadsword as the trophy. Used as a hedge trimmer and watermelon cutter, I believe it has been put under lock and key for one and all’s safety. A Mad Huey with a broadsword just spells trouble….

Sure Bet

Well the heat draw is out for the next WSL event, and I have a sure bet for you in heat nine in the first round of the me, I would bet my house that a natural foot surfer from the Gold Coast area with shares in a brewery will win the heat.

Joel Parkinson’s Instagram has the heat which has himself, Mick Fanning, and Bede Durbidge in heat nine of round one.

All are part owners of Balter Brewing. Actually it could be a flashback to a Queensland Junior titles heat 20 years ago as well. Looking forward to watching that one when competition waiting period commences on the 9th of May. I’ll catch you in the waves.

Under 14 Girls Coach Andrew Kidman

The defending Premiers , the Vulcan’s under 15 girls continued their undefeated run against Brunswick at their home ground on Sunday.

New additions to the team Ella McKnight, Ally Wightley and Ciarn Larrescy seamlessly slotted into the side with their free-flowing running and kicking skills.

Larrescy starred taking marks all over the ground and kicking a bag of goals.

Jemima Forsyth played her first game in the ruck and dominated. Forsyth sharing the ruck duties with Captain Zali Zuchke whom alternated with in the forward line, both girls finished the day with three goals a-piece.

Bella Kidman was fearless in the middle, dominating the game in the second quarter as she intercept marked, tackled relentlessly and fed the ball out to the slick on-ballers Lana Lee-Johnson and Georgia Hutton whom both scored heavily from their wings.

Special mention goes to Jazz McDonald whom returned to the team after a year off.

Jazz had a blinder, taking 5 marks as she roved around the forward line and kicking three goals for the day. Next week the girls take on last year’s grand finalists Lismore at their home ground.

It should be a cracker!

Mustangs find form against Magpies THE MURWILLUMBAH Mustangs found solid form during a tough match against Lower Clarence Magpies on Sunday, April 30, downing the visitors 54 to 18 at Stan Sercombe Oval.

Lower Clarence started the match strong with several break-away runs by their wingers, but they were no match for the mighty Mustangs who quickly answered back and eventually dominated the match.

A strong field of supporters for Lower Clarence were in the grandstand cheering their side on, with a slightly larger crowd backing Murwillumbah.

The Magpies also had a narrow loss against Casino recently suffering a 34-32 loss.

Magpies Captain and Coach Dan Randall told the Daily Examiner that his side had hit a minor speed bump this week though with two players ruled out of the trip to Murwillumbah.

The Mustangs are now placed equal third on the ladder with Ballina and the Tweed Coast Raiders sharing first place.

A grand final replay will take place this Sunday, May 7 when the Mustangs take on Cudgen at the Ned Byrne Oval at 2.45pm.

Smile Talk - Dentures

Ill-fitting dentures can cause problems to surrounding teeth and gums and should be reviewed by a Dentist or Prosthetist.

Dentures should not be worn at night, to allow your tissues to breathe and reduce bacterial and fungal growth overnight.

Brush the dentures with neutral soapy water or denture paste over half filled sink water (to prevent breakage if dropped) and then brush your remaining teeth (if present) and tongue.

Latest research advises dentures should be cleaned and left to dry and not soaked in water overnight as this also reduces bacterial and fungal growth on the denture.

Do not adjust dentures yourself or repair yourself, avoid toxic ‘superglue’ Acrylic (Pink) Full and Partial dentures can occasionally be soaked in 50/50 or 1/3 white vinegar and water or commercial products to help keep clean. Avoid soaking metal frame dentures as they can corrode.

Dentures have a life span of 7-10 years.
