Mr Jorgen said that further details about the “approach to market” were commercial-in-confidence and could not be released.

“We will continue to deliver face-to-face services to the Tweed Heads community, and no departmental jobs will be lost due to this change,” he said.

The Member for Richmond, Justine Elliot, said the announcement was “shocking news” and that she had been contacted by a number of Tweed Shire residents concerned about the implications of the move.

The Weekly also spoke to single dad Barry Lewis who cares for his 13-year-old son Luke who has cerebral palsy and was deeply concerned about what the move might mean for his son.

The Weekly contacted Mrs Elliot in regard to Mr Jorgen’s comments who said she’s been “inundated with concerns”.



“Locals know that Liberal-National Governments at all levels can’t be trusted and they keep betraying our region,” she said.

“All we get is more lies, cuts and chaos on the North Coast.

“At a state level, we’ve had Geoff Provest lie to our community about free parking at the new Tweed Valley Hospital.

“At a federal level, we’ve had more cuts to Centrelink, NDIS and aged care services.

“I’ve been inundated with concerns from locals about the recent news concerning the closure of the three Centrelink Services.”

Ms Elliot said she would keep fighting for her community to ensure there were no adverse impacts on service delivery and no future job losses.

By Jo Kennett DEPARTMENT OF Human Services have issued a statement regarding the plans for the Tweed Head Centrelink saying they are “reviewing” the servicing options.

The response came after the government announced that the Tweed Heads South Centrelink Service Centre, the Tweed Heads South Centrelink Call Centre and the Tweed Heads Centrelink Administrative Office were to be relocated - sparking community concern.

Department of Human Services General Manager, Hank Jongen, told The Weekly that as the leases on the premises come up for renewal, the department takes the opportunity to review servicing options “to ensure we continue to keep pace with the changing needs of the community.”

“Before any services are brought together, we assess many factors, including the convenience and benefit to the community in accessing services under one roof, proximity of other service centres, the demand for services in the community, and to provide a broader range of services from an easy to access location,” Mr Jorgen said.

“We plan to approach the market for a new, leased premises in Tweed Heads to consolidate three tenancies into a single building from 2022.

“The proposed consolidation would include face-to-face services currently delivered from the Tweed Heads Service Centre and staff undertaking non-face-

program for further improvements to other regional cities.”

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said the new bus network would change the way people moved around the region.

“I am proud that we were able to secure the Tweed as the first location for the 16 Regional Cities program,” Mr Provest said.

“Residents in the Tweed told us they wanted more reliable services and better connections to the places they want to go.

“In line with the feedback we received from the community, this new network has more services along major routes to

key destinations, expanded service hours and made some routes more direct.”

The new network includes 160 extra weekly services before 7am and after 6pm and 50 new weekly services before 5am and after 9pm.

The other cities included in the 16 Regional Cities program are Wagga Wagga, Griffith, Bathurst, Parkes, Dubbo, Coffs Harbour, Albury, NowraBomaderry, Queanbeyan, Lismore, Port Macquarie, Tamworth, Armidale, Orange and Grafton.

By Jonathon Howard THE TWEED Shire bus network will undergo a refresh, with more than 450 additional weekly services starting from Monday, December 16, to improve connectivity and offer longer operating times.

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Paul Toole, said the new timetables would deliver improved connectivity to popular locations such as Kingscliff TAFE and would see longer operating hours along key routes.

“The NSW Liberals & Nationals Government is delivering on its election commitment to improve bus services in 16 regional cities, with the Tweed the first to receive a major public transport boost,” Mr Toole said.

“We are supporting economic growth in our regions by improving connectivity, employment opportunities, education facilities and leading health care services.

“As we support and grow our hubs, it’s important we have the services available that meet customers’ needs. The new Tweed network will serve as a pilot

Good Samaritans still exist

In this day of seemingly endless bad news, it’s so refreshing to encounter a great news story. My wife and sister experienced a sudden flat tyre on Wooyung Road at Wooyung last Tuesday, November 26. They pulled off the road to inspect the damage.

A few cars just sped by, even though it was apparent that the ladies were in some distress.

A young man in a white van finally pulled over and asked if they needed help. Without hesitation, this young man immediately got to work and swapped the deflated tyre with the spare. He changed the tyre in record time and would not accept any cash offered by my wife. The ladies were delighted with the absolute kindness of this wonderful young man. Unfortunately, they did not get his name as he raced off to attend a photographic commitment he had in Byron Bay. I’d just like to say to this young man, thank you for your amazing kindness and your brilliant caring attitude. We would love to repay you with a gift if you could please reach out to the newspaper for our contact details.

There are definitely many decent people left in the world, and this young man is a shining example to us all, of that decency.

Greg Pasterfield, Pottsville

Drivers at fault on roads

In response to your article about Upper Crystal Creek Road after a recent collision on the one way bridge. We live a bit further up the road, on a curve, and have done for 20 years. During that time there have been five cars crash up on our curve - that we are aware of.

One was a young lady who went into a sideways slide and got T-boned by an oncoming tree. One was a young guy who lost it and finished up in the gully (fortunately not full of water at the time). One was a young guy who, for reasons unknown, rolled and finished up on his roof. One was an older guy who

ran up the bank on the opposite side of the road and wrecked his driverside suspension. Lastly, another older guy went up the same bank but he rolled 360 degrees. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt in any of these incidents.

So what was to blame? In each case, only one car was involved – so it was not the “other” driver. It is a two lane road in good condition – so it is not the road. Three of the incidents were in daylight and two after dark – so it is not the light. They include young and old, male and female – so it is not age or gender. Driving too fast? Maybe. Not concentrating?

Probably. Under the influence of something? Possibly. Unroadworthy car? Who knows. But, to put it kindly, it is driver error with a swag of careless stupidity thrown in.

I have witnessed, more than once, people, many of them long standing locals, driving thoughtlessly along Upper Crystal Creek Road, including completely disregarding the give way sign at the single lane bridge. What do you do about this kind of reckless stupidity? Upper Crystal Creek Road is not a highway and should not be driven at highway speed. I would suggest that reducing the speed limit on approaches to the bridge to 40km/hr and putting rattler ridges on the road on each approach may be effective. After that, it’s up to the driver – as it always is. At the end of the day, where there is a thoughtless, dickhead driver, there will be a problem – no matter what.

Marty Still, Upper Crystal Creek

Scammers at it again

We took a call this week from an Andrew Dawson trying to get us to advertise on score sheets for $100 to be put out at Tweed Bowls Club.

When his offer was refused the language he spat out was horrible telling us what a right bunch of ****** and he would tell everyone to stay away from us. I contacted Tweed Bowls Club firstly to complain about this person who was possibly representing the club’s advertising/ media area, to be informed that they are not conducting any promotion at the moment. I’m guessing this is the same fellow that targetted Donna Masing from Global Performance Therapy. This is not the first time we have been targeted by scam advertising but we are now older and wiser and can put them off.

New paradigm needed

I think the action of Tweed Shire Councillors to cancel the New Years Eve fireworks is totally appropriate in light of what we are dealing with locally and within the

drought-affected parts of Australia.

I commend them for their action.

Why is it that fireworks are seen as the thing to do? They may look spectacular for a few moments and then it is all over – colour, movement and noise. Maybe we could learn to celebrate in more eco-friendly ways that don’t involve fireworks. I have always been concerned about the pollutants that may arise from the fireworks tradition – and now we have the big threat of bushfires that all of us are dealing with in Northern NSW. Time for a new paradigm.

Gayle Russell, Nunderi

Firework ban welcomed

I have been a resident of the Tweed for more than 10 years and I applaud Council’s decision to ban fireworks for the coming year and hopefully forever. It is a massive waste of money for three minutes of entertainment for the masses and all it does is create noise that scares a lot of pets and creates pollution.

Everyone I talk to thinks it’s the right decision. The money saved can be spent where it’s really needed.

Iris Guz, Banora Point

Misinformation spreading

Councillor Owen needs to be corrected regarding his quote on “The Greens” “obsession” with “no fires, no burning” (Tweed Valley Weekly, Thursday, November 21) as it is simply untrue. He is either illinformed or deliberately spreading misinformation to serve his own political gain. These claims are wrong. Ecologists have for decades been pushing for more ecological and cultural burns which serve as hazard reduction burns, but also benefit fire dependent ecosystems.

Many Australians understand the use of fire as a tool to reduce fuel loads during the cooler time of year to protect life and property from uncontrollable wildfires in the hotter months. Environmental assets including threatened species, endangered ecological communities and rainforest are also protected by the strategic use of fire which is why ‘green’ organisations have been pushing for more ecological and cultural burning across the country. Patchy (mosaic) style burns in the cooler months also prevent the massive release of emissions from wildfires in the summer months that contribute to climate change.

Fire expert Professor Ross Bradstock says these “tired and very old conspiracy theories” like those made by Cr Owen about the Greens is “simply conspiracy stuff.

It’s an obvious attempt to deflect the conversation away from climate change”. Former NSW fire and rescue commissioner, Greg Mullins, writes that “climate change is super-

charging our natural disaster risks” and that “the hotter and drier conditions are preventing agencies from carrying out prescribed burning”.

Climate change – the very issue that the Morrison government doesn’t want to talk about is not only creating these catastrophic conditions but also reducing the timeframes for prescribed burning.

For the last nine years I have represented the Nature Conservation Council of NSW (NCC) on the Far North Coast Bushfire Management Committee (FNCBFMC). The NCC work very closely with the NSW Rural Fire Services (RFS) and other agencies to reduce the risk of wildfire on listed assets. The relationship is a very good one, so much that NCC bushfire representatives are invited to sit on the sixty or so Bushfire Management Committees across the state.

This ‘green’ organisation also works together with the RFS to host a biennial Bushfire Conference in Sydney, works together with the RFS to run the very successful Hotspots program that provides private landholders with the skills and knowledge to actively participate in fire management for the protection of life and property, while at the same time ensuring biodiversity is protected and maintained and ran a ‘Firesticks’ program to empower traditional owners to share knowledge and burn on their own country.

The UN yesterday released a report that “global (greenhouse gas) emissions must fall by 7.6 per cent a year for the next decade to avoid a climate crisis”. This is an unprecedented reduction in emissions that will need full support to achieve. Cr Owen should stop fueling the fires of misinformation and direct his energy and privileged position to help us protect the Tweed through emissions reduction projects and the protection of natural carbon sinks. Jobs will be created, farm productivity will increase, disaster possibly averted and there might even be a few votes in it.

Hospital diagnosis: dysfunction

Two interviews on ABC Local Radio last week epitomised the dysfunction surrounding the new Tweed Valley Hospital.

First up, an interview with a doctor from the current Tweed Hospital saying medical staff had been unable to obtain any figures from the government on the number of extra beds the Kingscliff facility would offer, but that it could be as few as 20 or 30. Nor were there any assurances of a specialised cardiac unit, nor dedicated radio or

chemo therapy units. The following morning a government spokesman, when presented with these claims, could only state that plans were still fluid and nothing had been finalised.

When asked how earthworks for the foundations could commence, as they have, without an approved set of building plans, the only answer was that they had “the best experts in the field” working on it.

In addition, the government’s own Roads and Maritime Department traffic assessment of the Stage 2 Development Application on the NSW Planning website states that the current Traffic Management Plan for the new hospital is totally inadequate with traffic projections based on methodology for which no basis is provided.

In short, we have a new hospital with no provision for extra beds which could not fit in a marquee in the current hospital grounds, no guarantee of at least three specialist units for which current staff are crying out, and no formalised building plans despite earthworks for the same being well underway.

Is the Berejiklian government able of planning anything more advanced than their Christmas party?

Wildlife need our help

The Crystal Creek Action Group, founded in August this year to protect Crystal Creek from over development, is lending a hand to the Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers group and Friends of the Koala.

Although the action we have taken to protect Crooks Valley Road, Crystal Creek and our Koala population from over-development is not over and is in the hands of the Tweed Shire Council, our work to save and protect the wildlife of the Tweed Shire continues.

We are asking Tweed residents and the wider community to assist with vital animal care organisations. It is more than koalas that need our help, all our precious native animals suffer after fire and drought. Please put out water for the local wildlife and where possible food to help them through this incredibly hard time.

Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers and Friends of The Koala rely on your donations. Please go to their websites to donate, www.tvwc.org.au and www.friendsofthekoala.org.

The Crystal Creek Action Group will continue assisting these groups into the future. We should all strive to leave our environment better than we found it.

Banora Point residents angry over tower plans What the telcos say

By Jonathon Howard S E V E R A L B A N O R A Po i n t residents have voiced their concerns with plans to erect a 35-metre telecommunications facility at 47 Terranora Road, which is about 250 metres from the Banora Point Public School and other childcare services.

The application, which is recommended for approval, is set to be discussed and voted on by Tweed Shire Councillors during their monthly meeting at the Tweed Heads Council chambers tonight (Thursday, December 5).

A community access meeting, prior to the Council meeting, is also expected to hear from residents opposed to the monopole development.

Cr Ron Cooper told The Weekly he was leaning towards supporting the application based on the data supplied and because he found it difficult to challenge the science.

“If it meets government standards of 250 metres, I would support the motion as I’d be reluctant to fight it legally, but if the government standard is 500 metres from a monopole to a school, then I am not going to support it.

“If there’s accepted scientific evidence presented that the monopole should not be within 500 metres, then I will oppose if it is.”

The application outlined a “significant” nu m b e r o f o b j e c t i o n s t o t h e telecommunications facility from both stakeholders and Banora Point Public School staff and families of students.

The application has received 35 individual objections and four petitions containing 585 signatures, all objecting to the proposed development.

Residents have raised a range of concerns in relation to the application, including its proximity to the school

on tower concerns

The water tower at Banora Point with an example image of the proposed monopole

grounds and exposure to electromagnetic emissions.

Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry said this issue is a “very difficult one”.

“The report shows in the submissions that there is a large amount of community angst regarding the placing of this 35m monopole at this site,” she said.

“On the one hand, the proposal is to co-locate three telecom providers on this site, which is recommended with all new infrastructure and limits the proliferation of new towers.

“It is also a site which has had an existing telecom tower on it since 1995 so in a way it is not a new facility.

“The proponent has also stated that the current output of the existing facility is 2.48 per cent of the the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSAS) recommended exposure limit and the upgraded facility is predicted to output 2.54 per cent of

this limit, so is only a small increase on what is currently existing.

“On the other hand, the structure, as proposed, is only 250m from Banora Point Public School and two day care centres, which is inconsistent with the Department of Education’s Policy and we have hundreds and hundreds of people who have expressed their fear of the harm this facility may do to their children.

“We also have people who have expressed their lack of confidence in the federal ARPANSAS limits, as they are based on science that predated 2003 and a lot more research has been done in this field since then. I am not sure what is the best way to move forward on this.”

“The ARPANSAS limits need to be reviewed taking into account all independent peer-reviewed scientific studies to date to give our community the confidence to assess proposals like this on their merits.”

THE APPLICANT for a proposed mobile phone tower adjacent to the water reservoir at Banora Point says the requirement to move off the water tower and the need for greater mobile phone coverage prompted the application.

The joint application on behalf of carriers Telstra, Optus and Vodafone said they have “adhered to all the Australian standards in the proposed development which are set out by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Authority (ARPANSA) as well as the World Health Organisation (WHO)”.

The application highlighted that Tweed Shire Council had directed the phone companies to remove all existing telecommunications equipment from the water reservoir.

“This has resulted in the critical need for a replacement site to ensure the continued delivery of mobile services to the local area,” the application reads.

“The proposed replacement facility is to be sited within 10 metres of the existing site on top of the water reservoir, which is within the same allotment.”

The applicants said the site on the existing water reservoir has been used by the carriers since 1995, to provide mobile coverage to the local population (estimated 16,000 persons) and the transient population (estimated 7,000 vehicles per day on the M1) as well as tourists.

“Without the existing site (or a replacement site), the local area will suffer from degraded mobile services,” the application reads.

“Pockets of the local area will have no coverage, which in some instances may result in the inability to make emergency calls (approximately 50+ calls per month) “The main radiofrequency objectives of the proposal are to maintain the existing coverage in the area, not degrade the area’s coverage, keep or improve the network quality, and futureproof the network in order to avoid future upgrades on the proposed site.

“The subject proposal satisfies the abovementioned objectives and would have a big enough coverage area to make the need for secondary sites in this area less likely in future.”

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe there’s a need for improved mobile phone coverage across the Tweed Shire? Or would you accept less mobile service for less monopoles? Send your thoughts and letter to editor@theweekly.net.au

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Expert delves deeper on coastal crime issue

A Federal Court judge has upheld the right of a law firm which did a lot of work for the government, to sack an employee who persisted in criticising the government, in defiance of a direction.

The case centred on the actions of Gary Rumble, a lawyer who led a government-commissioned review in 2011 and 2012 into sexual and physical abuse in the Australian Defence Force.

As years passed, Dr Rumble became increasingly frustrated because he felt the government wasn’t taking sufficient action to assist victims of abuse in the force.

In 2016 he wrote in The Canberra Times that boys as young as 13 had suffered sexual, physical and psychological abuse in defence forces since the 1940s and it was a disgrace that some of these victims were not receiving veterans’ benefits to which they were entitled.

His public criticism annoyed his employer, which had the Department of Defence as a key client. The law firm had implemented an internal policy in 2014 requiring employees not to criticise the firm’s clients without the permission of the manager.

Dr Rumble was barred from an office Christmas party after his article appeared. Soon after he was sacked by email.

He took action in the Federal Court, arguing he was unlawfully dismissed and had been discriminated against because of his political opinion.

Geoff Baldwin, lawyer at Stacks Law Firm, said the court saw it simply as a matter of whether Dr Rumble had followed orders.

“The court found he had not followed management directions not to criticise a client of the firm, regardless of how well-founded his criticism of Defence might have been,” Mr Baldwin explained.

“The court also looked at his employment contract, which said he was working as a casual, and that either side could terminate the contract with three months’ notice. He was paid out the three months, so he had no sound legal argument from that angle.”

Justice Nye Perram said in his judgement that Dr Rumble was not sacked because of his political opinion, to which “the firm was at least indifferent and quite possibly in fact sympathetic”.

Justice Perram said the firm was more concerned about the “earning of fees and the elimination of insubordination”.

“There was nothing therefore unlawful in the firm’s dismissal of Dr Rumble because he refused to cease criticising the firm’s client,” Justice Perram said.

“learning difficulties”, which often means brain damage,” she said.

“Many are living with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders which means that that their brain development has been affected by prenatal exposure to alcohol.

“Others have been affected by heroin or ice.

“They can’t learn to read or do maths and they can’t sit still in a classroom.

“They forget what they have been told and they find it very difficult to control their impulses.

“They are not naughty kids; they are brain damaged kids.”

D r Pe r k i n s s a i d s c h o o l s a n d communities don’t make provisions for these children.

“The kids stealing cars in Sailfish Way were not born criminals,” she said.

“They are the children who have been affected by toxins before birth and trauma, such as family violence, after birth.

“Many of them are in the care of Child Safety, but foster care placements often break down when children reach puberty and begin to sneak out of the house at night.

“As adolescents they are placed in “resicare” which means a house in the suburbs and carers working shifts.

“They have no attachment to any adult, and, without a disability diagnosis, there is no appropriate supervision and support.

“Even with a diagnosis, Child Safety often does not provide 24/7 supervision for young people, as it is very expensive.

“They are permitted to go wherever they please and do whatever they do.

“If they commit a crime the law says they should be charged and punished, even though they may have the thinking skills of a six-year-old and the social skills of a five-year-old.”

Dr Perkins said that the younger the child comes enters the criminal justice system, “the more likely it is that they are living with brain damage, and the more likely they are to remain in the system, being arrested and going to prison”.

“Older adolescents with family support may dabble in crime at 17 or 18 but can give it away and get a job or continue their education,” she said.

“A study in Western Australia found that two thirds of the children in detention were living with multiple brain based or neurodevelopmental disabilities, like very low intelligence, language disorders, attention deficit disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, deficits in

impulse control and social skills, and other difficulties.

“90 per cent of the young people had at least one brain-based disorder.”

Dr Perkins said systematic changes were needed to address the problem of gangs of disadvantaged and disabled young people roaming the streets of wealthy suburbs, such as Casuarina, at night.

“We need to fund our schools and our family and community services so that they can offer appropriate programs to young people who cannot manage in mainstream schools,” she said.

“We can teach them music and dance, and art and surfing and football.

“We must stop excluding them from school for behaviour that is teratogenic or due to an abnormal brain and we must stop locking up children who need support so that they don’t see that their only future is to be a criminal.

“The prison population and the rate of incarceration per 100,000 people has been steadily increasing in Australia for 30 years.

“If we don’t change the way that we deal with children living with learning difficulties, things will only get worse and we as a community will be to blame, not the children.”

Statistics show that 78 per cent of incarcerated children have a severe reading impairment while 49 per cent have a severe language impairment.

According to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome symptoms can include difficulty planning and carrying out problem solving, memory problems, language difficulties, delayed motor development, disrupted attention and activity levels, and delays in specific academic skills.

Mr Baldwin said the case illustrates that although you might feel you have moral right on your side, before you start an action you should get expert legal advice so that you clearly understand the legal strengths and weaknesses of your case.

Clinical Psychologist Meg Perkins says kids were not born criminals

83411

Court rules it’s OK for a firm to sack employees who criticise clients

By Jo Kennett A LEADING youth psychologist says the Tweed Coast crime problem won’t be solved by more police action and that systematic changes are needed in the way young people, living with learning difficulties, are educated.

Adjunct Research Fellow at the Griffith Criminology Institute, Dr Meg Perkins, responded to recent reports in The Weekly regarding increased crime at Casuarina and Kingscliff often allegedly relating to children or teenagers.

Dr Perkins has worked with young people in the criminal justice system for nearly 30 years and said there are no easy fixes to the crime problem that has plagued the Tweed Coast, particularly Casuarina and Kingscliff, over the past two years.

“Calling the police is seen as the solution, the perpetrators will be apprehended and, presumably, sent to prison,” she said.

“It is not a solution, as there are others who will simply take their place, or these same young people will be back as soon as they are set free.

“What most people don’t realise is that there are hundreds of young people in northern NSW and the Gold Coast, who are not attending school because they have been suspended or excluded altogether.

“They are being punished for inappropriate behaviour at school, but the behaviour is a result of their inability to read or concentrate or do maths in the classroom.”

Dr Perkins said these young people are the “naughty kids” who have been in trouble since starting school.

“Most of them have never been to a psychologist, or a speech therapist, or an occupational therapist, or anyone else who could have helped them to settle down at school and learn,” Dr Perkins told The Weekly.

“Their parents are poor, absent, or unwell, and could not access professional guidance.

“Now they are out on the streets, hanging out in groups, and amusing themselves by using drugs and stealing things that they could never afford to buy.”

Dr Perkins said there has been groundbreaking Australian research in recent years that could help to provide longterm solutions.

“We know that the vast majority of these children who are falling into the criminal justice system are suffering from

Museum temporarily closed for exciting new exhibition A major new permanent display is being developed by the Tweed Regional Museum Murwillumbah, scheduled to open in January 2020.

The Museum will close to the public from 15 December 2019 to accommodate building and installation works for the new exhibition as well as major refurbishment of the Museum’s permanent displays and will reopen late January 2020.

The ‘Land | Life | Culture’ display will introduce visitors to the unique natural and cultural heritage of the Tweed. The project is the largest undertaken by the Museum since the multi-million dollar redevelopment of the site was completed in 2014. The display has

been made possible through Restart NSW funding and through generous private donations.

The museum team is busy developing content to tell the story of the Tweed’s biodiversity. The exhibition will feature important Indigenous cultural knowledge associated with key locations around the Tweed contributed by members of the local Aboriginal community.

For the latest news on the exhibition including the opening dates, make sure you sign up to the Museum Program Alert at museum.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Subscribe and follow the Museum on Facebook (www.facebook.com/TweedRegionalMuseum) and Instagram (www.instagram.com/tweedregionalmuseum).

Chat with neighbours about noise – it’s a great first step In 2018 Council’s Environmental Health Team introduced Let’s Chat to encourage residents to speak or write to their neighbours to give them the chance to sort out their noise issues without reporting them to Council.

Manager Building and Environmental Health David McNicoll said the results from the 12-month program showed that 70 per cent of customers who spoke to Council about a general noise problem used Let’s Chat actions to assist in solving their noise issue.

“These conversations are difficult at times but they strengthen our relationships with our neighbours. People often tell officers they wished their neighbour had just talked to them rather than report them to Council,” Mr McNicoll said.

“Council will be surveying customers who used Let’s Chat, to find out if their relationship with their neighbour improved by using the program.

“Most people use the principles of Let’s Chat by engaging with their neighbours openly, positively and with understanding; and

most neighbours do what they can to resolve the problem – this is community spirit in action. If you have used the program or a similar approach and want to give us some feedback, please give us a call.

“Noise related issues often increase over the Christmas period with more people at home using their pool, air conditioners or celebrating.

Most people avoid these issues by chatting with their neighbour or having them around to join in the celebrations,” he said.

Let’s Chat is not used to manage barking dog enquiries, however one proactive Tweed resident did use this approach one year ago. He did not contact Council, made contact with his neighbours in writing, and the noise from his neighbours barking dogs ceased.

Council’s Team Leader Rangers Nic Harrigan said that often the dog owner is unaware that their dog barks while they are away and encourages all residents to let their neighbour know early, so they can try to tackle the barking problem as quickly as possible.

Help people in need and injured wildlife this Xmas This year the annual Mayoral Christmas Appeal is supporting three organisations: Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers, Fred’s Place and You Have a Friend.

The drought has caused widespread starvation and dehydration for our wildlife this year. The Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers are run off their feet and have requested monetary donations so they can purchase exactly what they need for the thousands of animals they rescue.

Online donations can be made at tvwc.org.au Fred’s Place, a St Vincent de Paul Society facility located in Tweed Heads, offers support services for single people and families who are in need, are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness.

You Have a Friend supports the homeless, single parents and their children, and the marginalised, in the Tweed Heads/Coolangatta area, providing 300 meals a week to those most in need.

Donated items for Fred’s Place and You Have a Friend, can include non-perishable foods, toiletries, coffee/tea, sugar, long-life milk, cordial, ring pull cans, instant noodle cups and simple first aid products.

Donated goods can be delivered to the Murwillumbah Civic Centre, Tumbulgum Road Murwillumbah; and the Tweed Heads Cultural and Civic Centre,Tweed Heads. Donations of goods will be accepted until the end of January 2020. For more information on the Mayoral Christmas Appeal visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Christmas

Living and Loving the Tweed

Frankie Castles enjoys a bath using water saved from Mum’s shower.

Water saving tips on tap Young mum Courtney Castles was sick of sending so much water down the plughole after her shower and her toddler’s bath that she invested $1.60 on a shower plug on eBay. The plug fits the shower waste and allows Courtney to fill the shower hob while she showers and baths daughter Frankie at the same time.

“It’s so easy! I effectively save water by not having to fill her bath up and I recycle all the water from my shower,” Courtney said.

“I find she still gets a good bath and loves to splash and play in the bigger shower space.”

Resident Debbie Gallard and her family follow the mantra ‘If it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down’, saving a three-litre half flush many times a day.

Kingscliff resident Yvette van Amstel has always been a water watcher and her mantra is ‘Think at the sink’. If you use a dishwasher, there is no need to rinse items first; if you are washing a single item or your hands, tap on to wet, tap off to wash, tap on to rinse. These small changes in behaviour can save many litres a day.

Council is asking all residents to stop wasting water and collect their free four-minute shower timer, yard poster or mailbox sticker from a Council office or library now to promote the message to reduce water use.

Volunteers working hard to make a difference International Volunteer Day is 5 December 2019 and Tweed Shire Council is recognising the significant contribution that volunteers make to the social and economic development of our local community.

David Toyer is just one example of an outstanding community member who volunteers his time to support both the museum and gallery. He has spent over 624 hours at the museum working through over 4569 photographs to ensure they are preserved and made available as part of the museum’s collection.

It’s not just the museum that benefits from David’s incredibly valuable professional skills. In 2019, Tweed Regional Gallery presented 24 new exhibitions and David Toyer volunteered to professionally capture them all for the Gallery to use in promotion, reporting and archiving. Not only

that, David also photographs each official opening event.

Volunteering plays a crucial role within the community in enhancing Council services and programs. It can be very rewarding and there’s plenty of benefits including: • learning and developing new skills • building professional and social networks by meeting new people • improving your interpersonal skills • working in an area that matches your interests and passion • giving back to the community and knowing that you are playing a part in helping the community to flourish and grow.

For more information about volunteering with Council visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Volunteering or phone our friendly customer contact team on (02) 6670 2400.

In recognition of National Volunteers Day on 5 December, and their 19th year of operation, Friends of the Pound held a Christmas party at Tumbulgum for their 100 volunteers.

Volunteer Team Leader at the Friends of the Pound Pet Adoption and Preloved Clothing Centre, Penny Payne, said the first step for people interested in becoming a responsible pet owner is to view the animals online, or to view some of the available cats, call into the Centre at Corporation Circuit, Tweed Heads South.

“It’s a lifetime commitment to adopt a pet, and our volunteers are trained to take prospective owners through the complexities of registration, vaccinations, and correct foods types.”

Volunteers need to ensure that rehomed pets are paired with Above left: Volunteer Team Leader, Penny Payne with Sunny Bunny, who is available for adoption.

responsible owners who understand that successful pet ownership is an ongoing and long-term commitment to be taken seriously.

Penny’s skill is matching the perfect cat to the perfect owner, as she knows where all of the cats in her care have come from, the age of the cats and of the family members they left behind. Penny also understands what type of person her cats will respond to, as pet ownership is not for everyone.

“If a cat or dog is adopted it’s called a foster fail, which is a really good thing, as they have been rehomed, and no longer require fostering,” she said.

Friends of the Pound have spent $162,686 on veterinary bills and $101,483 on animal supplies this year, making the shop and the volunteers integral to raising funds for the daily operation of the organisation.

Friends of the Pound are an independent, not-for-profit organisation, who assist in the day-to-day operations of the Tweed Shire Council Pound, and rescue animals for fostering and adoption.

path to getting the best outcome on the Rural Land Strategy.”

Mr Hammill said he felt there was a “consistent and ongoing prejudice against the rural sector by some in Council”.

“The sustainability and viability of rural landholders is clearly not of concern to the majority of councillors,” he said.

“Those particular councillors are using the most obscure excuses to obstruct rural landholders from having the same rights as urban owners.

“An example of obscure excuses is the statement by Cr Cherry that she wants to stop the “oversaturation” of rural housing.

“Yet she supports a second dwelling on 600-square-metre urban land but objects to the same on 60,000-square-metre rural land.

“She doesn’t want rural houses built on slopes greater than 12 degrees but in urban areas that rule does not apply. Housing in the shire is critical yet these councillors would apparently rather deprive those in need or aged family members staying on their farms than see any further home building on rural land.

“So, ignoring 1,700 (now 2,000 plus) people who support dual detached occupancy rural housing is totally consistent with the ongoing subjective prejudice of those councillors.”

By Jonathon Howard CHILLINGAM LOCAL David Hammill has expressed his disappointment with Tweed Shire Council for “refusing to acknowledge” more than 1,700 signatures via an online petition from locals calling for detached dual occupancy on all rural RU1 and RU2 lots regardless of lot size.

Mr Hammill wrote to The Weekly to express his views on the Draft Rural Land Strategy, which has been debated for years and remains a hot topic for the shire.

“Council is using a technical oversight in the form of the petition to block any acknowledgment of those 1,700 plus who supported the petition online,” he said.

“Council may be justified in formally accepting only 819 signatures, but it could also acknowledge the other 1,700 – it has failed to do so.

“Our petition has now received 302 more online signatures.

“Will they also be ignored? In a genuine representative democracy is it right to ignore an overwhelming community aspiration?”

Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry said Council introduced a policy to govern “what we would accept as valid signatories in relation to petitions”.

“This was an attempt to ensure that Tweed residents and ratepayers get to influence and decide what decisions are made in our Shire,” she said.

“Not people from Byron. Not people from the Gold Coast. Not people from overseas.

“Ironically this was done to address the concern raised by residents that people from out of state and overseas were signing environmental petitions in our area and a call to not allow this.

“Council cannot be seen to allow out of state, out of shire or overseas petitioners on some issues and not on others.

“The petition as submitted, even with 819 signatories is significant and will be given due consideration by Council as we all travel the

Keep your CapTel phones says service provider Cops nab one street racer

By Jo Kennett MEMBERS OF the hearing-impaired community have been advised not to throw their CapTel phones out when the controversial change of captioning systems goes ahead on Saturday, February 1, 2020.

The Federal Government has awarded a three-year contract for the National Relay Service (NRS) to Concentrix, a new provider that will replace the CapTel captioning handset system with what The Weekly has been told is an older, cheaper system which the CapTel system superseded.

Michael Riolo is a Byangum resident with a hearing impairment who is concerned about how he will manage with the new system.

“I’m a JP and I get people ringing wanting papers signed and it will make it much more difficult to communicate with people,” Mr Riolo said.

“Doctors and government departments won’t be able to ring. They won’t have that number.”

Mr Riolo said the loss CapTel would make life a lot more difficult.

“I have a cochlear implant, but I still can’t hear the phone,” he said.

“The Telstra phones only have tiny screens so you can’t fit many words on them which makes it very slow and hard to use.”

Mr Riolo said he had been advised by an Accesscom representative who install and maintain the phones to hang on to his CapTel phone.

“Thomas from Accesscomm said they have had a lot of feedback from people concerned about the changes,” Mr Riolo told The Weekly.

“I spoke to the CapTel representative as well and he said he was concerned he

Keep you Captel phone. Michael Riolo (inset)

won’t have a job and all the Accesscomm people won’t have jobs either.”

Mr Riolo said he had been using the CapTel system for years and was very happy with it.

“Before CapTel I couldn’t talk on the phone and now I can,” Mr Riolo said.

“Now the company (Concentrix) has been awarded the contract for three years.

“The government doesn’t fund it, it’s funded through the Telecommunications Levy with Optus, Vodafone and Telstra.

“The $22 million the government gets from the levy funds the NRS and the caption system.

“I had a letter from the Federal Communications Minister’s office, and they said Optus and Telstra are providing the new Uniphone so I don’t know if they have done some sort of deal with the government.

“It seems strange Concentrix won the contract when CapTel has been providing the phones and a far superior service for ages and all of a sudden they put out the tender to Concentrix.

“We need to keep at them and stop it from happening.”

Murwillumbah resident Gary Crosse recently expressed his concerns about being left socially isolated with the changeover, telling The Weekly that Captel was “a wonderful system that allows me to have one-on-one conversations with my family, friends and businesses as the captions provide clear indication of what the other party is saying and without much delay.”

A 19-YEAR-OLD MAN will face court next month charged with alleged street racing offences at Banora Point on Sunday, December 1.

A second driver managed to escape police and inquiries are continuing to locate the driver.

The pair were believed to be street racing in a white Volkswagen Golf GTI and a white Holden Cruz at about 9.20pm.

The driver of the Holden left the scene without stopping for police.

Tweed Police said they were travelling in an unmarked car on the Pacific Highway at Banora Point when the two vehicles overtook them at high speed.

Police allege the two cars, both bearing provisional plates, were racing one another and reaching speeds of between 170 to 200km per hour in a 100km per hour zone.

Police activated their warning lights and stopped the Volkswagen on the Pacific Highway off-ramp at Tweed Heads.

Officers spoke with the driver – a 19-year-old p-plate - and issued him with a field court attendance notice for taking part in an organised and promoted race between vehicles, driving at speeds dangerous to the public and a p-plate driver exceeding a speed greater than 45km/hour.

His license was suspended, and his vehicle registration cancelled.

He is due to face Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, January 6.

For the Love festival planned for Ebenezer Park Councillor Cooper moves

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE residents are invited to have their say on a proposed music festival called For The Love which, if approved, is set to take place at Ebenezer Park, Tweed Heads, on Saturday, February 22, 2020.

For The Love is proposing to host its inaugural NSW leg of the festival at Tweed Heads and the application is currently with Tweed Shire Council.

The festival has outlined a capacity of 6,000 people with gates open from 1pm until 10pm.

The festival has a clear focus on being clean and sustainable, which was highlighted in the application.

“With a focus on cleaner oceans and sustainability, For The Love is a music and lifestyle event, that enables people to experience high-profile artists while creating unforgettable summer moments, at iconic locations around the world,” the submission to Council reads.

“After three successful sold out years in Melbourne, 2020 will see the brand expand nationally to carefully selected

waterside locations around Australia, Ebenezer Park being the key activation on the eastern seaboard for the 2020 event year.”

The festival line up includes Hayden James, Safia, Mansionair, Set Mo, Eves Karydas, Owl Eyes and London Topaz.

The application details the event will create 100 full-time and part-time jobs for local residents and traders will be able to showcase the Tweed Shire to one million people and attract up to 4,000 patrons into the shire.

The event also hopes to raise $10,000 for local charities to remove half a tonne of rubbish from Tweed Shire beaches through the Music for Oceans Movement.

“Patrons will be able to soak up offerings from our high-end fashion and beauty event partners while listening to their favourite local and international artists, in pristine waterside locations,” the application reads.

“Via our team of expert event planners and national contracting partners, For The Love will demonstrate a highly

organised and professionally executed event, with a focus on minimal environmental impact.

“Partnering up with Parlay, For The Love has developed our Music For Oceans movement dedicated to cleaner oceans and a plastic free future, all designed to align with our beliefs that we can create unforgettable moments, in pristine locations, without leaving our footprint on the area.

“For The Love is committed to cleaner oceans and a plastic free future, while providing the very best experience for our patrons, partners and stakeholders alike.”

DELAYS TO the Northern Rivers Rail Trail look set to be resolved and debated by the Tweed Shire Councillors during their meeting tonight (Thursday, December 5) at Tweed Heads.

Councillors will vote on the next step to see the trail become a reality with several councillors expressing an eagerness to get the project underway.

The motion is titled Northern Rivers Rail Trail (Tweed) Tender Procurement and NSW Government Funding Deed and calls for a funding agreement (deed) to be carried out between Tweed Shire Council and the NSW Government.

“When received, and once concluded, to recommence the procurement processes for the rail trail project, utilising the short list of companies previously accepted by Council on March 7, 2019,” the motion reads.

Council’s report said the absence of a funding agreement to-date has prevented the assessment and award of a contract to a design and construction company and “as such has been the cause of significant project delay”.

Cr Ron Cooper told The Weekly he was eager for the Rail Trail to get moving.

“Discussion has gone on far too long,” he said.

“Government has no appetite for bringing back trains and the more time on the infrastructure makes it ever more expensive to think about returning trains.”

Cr Cooper said he wanted to reinforce his support for solar powered tour vehicles using the trails alongside cyclists and walkers.

“The vehicles could be driverless and offer a range of tours including overnight stops,” he said.

“The Rail Trail offers a range of new options for the future of travel and transport.”

for plain English approach

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Councillor Ron Cooper is on a mission to adopt a “plain English” approach to all internal documents and reports across Tweed Shire Council.

Cr Cooper will raise a motion during Council’s meeting tonight (Thursday, December 5) which he says will allow all residents to understand and engage with Council reports and documentations now and into the future.

The move, according to Cr Cooper, is to clear out unnecessary technical information and instead adopt a plain English approach.

“If democracy is to survive, people need to be partners in decision-making and they won’t become partners if they are not provided with clear and concise information,” he said.

“It is demeaning to call the major stakeholders in the Tweed’s future customers.

“They are partners, and as such, can add a wealth of life experience to Council decision-making.

“There is money to be saved using plain English – less time writing, less time talking, less time understanding and less time questioning.

“Getting it right the first time for everyone saves time and money. A change in Council culture will take a little time, but will deliver social benefits and budget savings in the long run.”

Plain English is a discipline and Cr Cooper’s motion will attempt to have Council consult with a plain English professional to establish an orderly introduction and progressive monitoring of the outcomes.

Cr Cooper said he feels plain English could help save vital funds for council staff and ratepayers.

“If it takes less time for everyone to understand a complicated report or document within Council, then there’s savings in time and an employee's time,” he said.

“It is a mistake for elected representatives to justify their top-down behaviour by labelling community members as apathetic. They are not. They’re smart.

“They don’t waste their time trying to sift meaning from a mountain of words. “ T h e y wo u l d mu c h rat h e r participate as a diverse community of partners informed by plain English.”

Dungay Caravan Park proposal resubmitted

By Jonathon Howard WOLLUMBIN COMMON Caravan Park has recently resubmitted a development application to construct a 172-site caravan park at Dungay at 355 Tomewin Road.

The latest application will attempt to address Tweed Shire Council feedback after the first application was refused.

Wollumbin Common Advisor, Neville Fredericks, said the refusal was going to be appealled in the Land and Environment Court, but they missed a key deadline.

“We were going to appeal the refusal, but one of our reports was late getting to court and it was not accepted, and we had missed a key deadline,” he said.

Mr Fredericks said Wollumbin Common decided instead to address the

concerns raised by Council and re-lodge the application.

The Dungay caravan park came under heavy scrutiny by Dungay residents when it was first submitted in August 2017, with residents concerned by water, waste and traffic congestion.

The $8.8 million proposal outlines the construction of 172 caravan park sites, 164 for long-term lease and eight for short-term use, along with several supporting amenities including a croquet lawn, a swimmimg pool, a community hall and a community garden with an associated storage and servicing building.

“The Wollumbin Common Caravan Park (Dungay) development application has now been relodged and all reports are publicly available,” Mr Fredericks said.

“The applicant has gone to great lengths to fully comply with all of the

statutory requirements and has addressed all of the issues raised in the earlier Court appeal.

“In preparing this application, a senior social planner/economist was engaged to provide a detailed analysis of the benefits and social impacts of the proposal.”

Mr Fredericks said the project will fill a “major gap” in the provision of affordable housing for retiring and downsizing seniors in the Tweed Shire.

“The sole beneficiary of this project will be the Sathya Sai College and indirectly, the parents of students at its two campuses,” he said.

“The college is a private school which does not charge tuition fees.”

Condong Mill pumps first batch of botanical water THE FIRST batch of Australian botanical water from sugar cane was loaded into a tanker at the Condong Sugar Mill on Tuesday, December 3.

CEO of Sunshine Sugar, Chris Connors, said Australian beverage maker, AquaBotanical, invented an awardwinning way to harvest the naturally stored water in fruit and vegetables at the same time as juice concentrate is made.

“Using this process, we are now able to use every available drop of water contained in the stalk of the sugar cane plant to create a new sustainable source of botanical drinking water. In short, we grow water,” Mr Connors said.

“This first batch of drinking water from the sugar cane plant comes just months after entering into the partnership with Aquabotanical and will make its way to a bottling plant in Victoria. Once sampled,

this water will be bottled and is destined for the US water market.”

AquaBotanical Executive Chairman, Terry Paule, has recently returned from a trip to the US where he received an overwhelming response from the major retailers and distribution channels to successfully list AquaBotanical. These outlets include Whole Foods, Starbucks, Baldor Foods and Chefs Warehouse.

Mr Paule said the retailers can see the convergence with plant-based foods and sustainable living that has been predicting for the last five years, and “we’re excited to be a world first market leader with our patented technology”.

Further installation of plant and equipment will be undertaken at the Condong Sugar Mill over the coming months.

Sunshine Sugar and AquaBotanical plan to be fully operational and commence full-scale water from sugar cane production in the Tweed Valley at the start of the next crushing season in June 2020.

Kirra is scientist in the making

By Jo Kennett A YEAR 12 Wollumbin High School student has been recognised for excellence in scientific research with a Rowe Scientific Depth Study Award in the 2019 Young Scientist Awards.

Kirra Gaedt (pictured below) submitted her winning science project as part of a new HSC Science Extension course which focuses on the history, philosophy and historical emergence of the scientific process.

The course culminates in a 3,000-word report and process portfolio.

According to the School Administration Manager, Cheryl Olive, Kirra chose to study “the impact of rhizobacteria Bacillus subtilis on sugarcane growth in saline conditions, an area of research that is particularly pertinent to our local area.’’

“She was required to formulate research questions, collect data and perform a detailed analysis of that data before presenting her findings in a formal scientific report,” Ms Olive said.

“The judging criteria focused on the quality of questioning, prediction and communication contained within the depth study report.

“A total of 20 awards were given, one gold, five silver and 14 bronze. Kirra’s Silver Award included a certificate and $300 cash prize.”

Former Minister for Education, Rob Stokes, said that the new Science Extension course was part of an initiative to “develop the next generation of Nobel Prize winning scientists and world-leading researchers right here in NSW.” Ms Olive said that Kirra had now secured a scholarship to Griffith University to further her STEM-related studies.

“She wishes to study a dual degree of Engineering and Environmental Science,” Ms Olive said.

“Wollumbin’s Head Teacher Science, Bronwyn Thomas, says she is genuinely excited at the prospects that await Kirra in the future.”

Eleven amazing ideas presented at Pitch for Change Council wins Green Globe

By Jonathon Howard IT WAS a full house for the inaugural Pitch for Change event at the Haven Bar in Murwillumbah on Thursday, November 28, with eleven outstanding projects ideas presented.

The projects were pitched to a panel of five local judges and a large audience with a range of prizes on offer including the first prize award of $1,000.

Tweed Valley Weekly Editor Jonathon Howard was one of the judges and said he was “blown away” by the range and depth of the ideas.

“This is such a great way for new community-focused ideas to be shared with the community,” Mr Howard said. “ I ’ m j u s t t h a n k f u l w e h av e organisations such as It Takes a Town to provide a platform for the development of ideas that can make a real difference.”

It Takes a Town initiated Pitch for Change which was launched this year to give community-minded residents a chance to pitch their ideas for creating a more generous society.

Members have been participating in a series of ten project development workshops since September with program facilitator, Marlena Basser.

Project ideas ranged from a youth suicide prevention project; to a parenting program for young dads; a family friendly Escape Room; an Artful Conversation group to address social isolation and a cultural awareness program for schools.

Ms Basser said each participant started with an idea that would support children, youth and families.

“The ten workshops took the participants through a practical process that included networking, research, planning, funding and presentation skills,” she said.

Pitch for Change nominees have come up with some great ideas

“They gained a lot of support from each other in the process as well.

“Then tonight, each of our eleven ‘pitchers’ had five minutes to give judges a feel for their project.

“They really excelled, showing outstanding skill in presenting innovative solutions to some of the big challenges we face as a community.”

Pitchers competed for prizes including money, mentoring sessions with community leaders David Boutkan at The Family Centre and Carmen Stewart at ITAT, venue hire at Murwillumbah Community Centre, an article and media support from the Tweed Valley Weekly and graphic design support from Leesa Hallahan from EZPZ Graphics.

First prize of $1000 went to Trixie Meeves and Briony Hombroaek for their Caring Kit project addressing youth depression in schools.

Second prize of $500 went to Lynda Hope for her Paper Wings project supporting parents of children with disabilities.

All the other projects received in kind prizes from the judges and offers of support from community members presented on the night.

Plans are already underway to run Pitch for Change again in 2020, announced Marlena Basser.

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Council was awarded the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award for Organisations at the 2019 Green Globe Awards recently.

The awards recognise and celebrate sustainability leadership and environmental protection in NSW. For more than two decades, Tweed Shire Council has enacted a strong commitment to protecting its internationally significant environment through catchment management activities and adopting a Renewable Energy Action Plan, to name just a few projects.

These achievements, plus many more, earned Council the coveted Green Globes trophy at an awards ceremony in Sydney late last week.

The annual Green Globe Awards are NSW’s premier environmental awards, recognising and celebrating collaboration, partnerships and projects that encourage others to achieve positive change and protect our environment.

Director Sustainable Communities and Environment, Tracey Stinson said Tweed Shire Council was thrilled to be recognised with a Green Globe Award.

“Our team has been working in this space for over 20 years and have built a credible reputation as sustainability leaders by delivering tangible environmental outcomes,” Ms Stinson said.

“We are proud to be making real progress towards a better future for our planet and the next generation.

“A very special thanks to all of our wonderful Council staff who are so passionate and dedicated to protecting and enhancing our diverse environment in this region and to our committed community who also make significant contributions to the health of the Tweed’s environment through their actions.”

Tweed Shire Council’s goal is to generate 25 percent of its energy requirements through renewable sources by 2022 and 50 percent by 2025.

CUSTOM MIX FOR ALL ANIMALS

By Jonathon Howard MURWILLUMBAH COMMUNITY group Support for New Mums is celebrating its first birthday and is encourage new mums to get in touch and take advantage of the growing support network.

This innovative volunteer program was set up a year ago to support mothers with new babies in the third trimester of pregnancy and the first year of their baby’s life, but it’s not just for first-time mums.

The free program was developed by Deb Hunt in response to the growing awareness that women often feel very alone at a time when they most need to feel connected to and supported by others.

“We match trained volunteers, all of whom are mothers themselves, to new mums with the goal of developing a secure trusting relationship in order to provide emotional support to help create a sense of “the village”,” she said.

“Our trained volunteers visit mums with new babies in their homes on a weekly basis.”

Deb told The Weekly the program is about early intervention in the important first year of a baby’s life.

“This is where the volunteer’s role is in reducing isolation, anxiety and depression in a new mum enabling her to better parent her baby and provide secure attachment with proven outcomes for the future,” she said.

Deb has found that for some women, it is extremely hard to ask for help of any kind.

“Many mothers are reluctant or ashamed to ask for support because they want to be seen as the perfect mother, they think everyone else copes, they don’t want to trouble anyone or they don’t want to be judged,” she said.

“Motherhood isn’t easy. Everybody needs help from time to time.

“Caring for a newborn is a definite learning curve and learning to ask for assistance from others is another skill.

“New mums need to remind themselves that asking for help isn’t just good for them; it’s good for their baby as well.”

Deb said all the volunteers undertake mandatory training, complete Working with Children Checks, receive ongoing training and supervision and are carefully matched according to a new mum’s needs and circumstances.

“As mums themselves, our volunteers understand the frustrations, exhaustion and anxiety that having a baby can create,” she said.

“Non-judgemental and confidential support is offered which can be as simple as sitting having a cup of coffee and a chat or giving mums time for themselves.”

If you would like to find out how to receive support or are a health professional and have a patient or client who could benefit from support please contact Deb at: newmums8@ gmail.com or please phone: 0490 409 039.

DECEMBER IS that time when media outlets publish a look back at the year and what has been achieved.

MDBC has had a busy 2019 (or as our former President Ilze would say: we’re not busy but productive) but it isn’t until you do a retrospective that you can appreciate everything that a very small group of volunteers, each with their own business to run, can achieve.

In 2019 MDBC facilitated a meet the candidates event for the 2019 NSW state election, as well as hosted multiple community events to discuss the Council’s draft rural land strategy. We have worked with local designers on plans to refurbish signage around town and encourage more visitors into the CBD, and worked with Tweed Tourism Co to help local small businesses publish in the visitor, dining, and hinterland trail guides.

We staged what was described by a major sponsor as the best BEATS awards so far, which put tens of thousands of dollars into the local economy and gave exposure and recognition to many amazing local businesses.

We have hosted monthly networking events

with 50 plus attendees networking and hearing from engaging speakers on a range of topics including business advice, community events, and Council updates, and have given out some amazing prizes from Mavis’s Kitchen, The Gallery Café, and Mount Warning Tours.

Lastly we continuously advocated for our members on issues that are relevant to creating a flourishing business community and local economy.

We often have businesses ask why they should join a Chamber and what is in it for them? While every business may not see the quantifiable benefit that flows directly to them, for the small cost of membership the volunteers at the Chamber are able to continue to work for our members and build a network of business owners who are connected with each other and the wider community, and we have some great ideas and energy to take into 2020.

We wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas, remember to shop local, and we hope to see many of you at our event this evening at Husk to celebrate the year.

Nick Moran – MDBC President.

From little things Coastal Turf has grown ITV gives Potters a boost

By Jonathon Howard LIKE ALL good local businesses Coastal Turf started out from small humble beginnings and more than two decades later it’s now a thriving family business that delivers the best quality grasses from Ballina to Coomera and everywhere in between.

Coastal Turf is this week celebrating 25 years of operation at Round Mountain, where a father and daughter team are proving small businesses are the beating heart of the Tweed Shire’s economy.

The business started when owner John Commens decided to purchase a 23-acre paddock that only produced two types of grass at the time.

“I’d worked in the oil industry for a long time before I decided to retire to my small grass farm operation at Round Mountain,” he said.

“Little did I know the business would take off and we’ve expanded to include a fleet of delivery trucks servicing a large area across the Tweed, Byron and Gold Coast with a great range of grasses.”

While Mr Commens is busy driving the grass harvester most days, his daughter Sarah-Jane Mason has been handling the administration side of the business.

“Sarah-Jane has done some amazing work with the administration and it’s really taken the business to the next level,” he said.

Mrs Mason recalled helping her dad work the small farm as a child and learning all about grass and the best grasses for Australia’s tough climate.

“When dad first took over the farm, our little 23-acre paddocks only produced green couch and Queensland blue couch,” she said.

“Being a family farm, both my brother and I would spend many hours after school, and during school

Sarah-Jane Mason with her father John Commens at Coastal Turf

holidays working the farm, talking with customers, installing new lawns, and learning everything we could about new lawns and grasses in our area.

“This practical knowledge of all aspects of the life cycle of the turf slab has given our family the ability to explain to clients in simple terms the attributes of different varieties.

“Our time spent one-on-one with clients from all walks of life has led us to a strong conviction in high customer service.”

Mrs Mason said her life experience as a daughter, mother, wife, sister and turf farmer has given her a more rounded perspective when talking with clients.

“Not only in regard to their new lawn needs, but also, the intricate decisions that need to be considered when making

a large end purchase for one’s home,” she said.

“As a family owned and operated business, we are all very aware that it is not only our business name on display every time we sell a slab of turf, but also our family name and reputation.

“This conviction sets us apart from the larger farms. As both the quality of the turf we provide, to our customers’ needs being of a high standard and matched by high levels of customer service.”

Mrs Mason is also well versed on the industry standards and serves on the Horticulture Innovation SIAP Turf board as well as on the Turf Australia Board.

To find out more about Coastal Turf give them a call on 1300 787 545 or visit them at 279 Round Mountain Road.

MURWILLUMBAH POTTERS Inc have been given a $2,500 grant funding boost from ITV, the production company behind I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

The funds will be used to save for a new electric kiln as the potters membership continues to increase.

“As our membership is increasing and we are doing more workshops in hand building and wheel throwing, the kiln will relieve a lot of pressure on the gas kilns and be a useful learning tool for kiln management for our members,” Murwillumbah Potters member Ann Lee said.

“We would like to thank ITV and the Tweed Shire Council for their continued support and wish all of our supporters and members a Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year.”

I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! Community Liaison, Lanie Loughlin, said it was a great opportunity to support the group’s work.

“It's wonderful the ITV TCIF grant will help increase capacity for the group, facilitating greater access, and sustainability," she said.

Murwillumbah Potters will also host its annual Christmas sale of original pieces, which are reasonably priced and a sustainable gift that won’t end up in landfill.

Ms Lee said the group has a unique range of pottery, sculptures and practical or decorative gifts, with bargains available on the budget table.

There will also be clay play for the kids, pottery demonstrations, a sausage sizzle or Devonshire tea in an “idyllic setting”.

The Christmas sale is on from 9am to 4pm on Saturday, December 7, and Sunday, December 8 at Murwillumbah Potters at the Old Fernvale Primary School and Hall, 76 Fernvale Rd, Fernvale.

Tweed Clubs get behind efforts to aid fire-affected towns

By Jonathon Howard SEVERAL TWEED clubs have thrown their support behind small NSW townships that have been devastated by recent fires with a massive fundraising effort to aid in the recovery.

When fire ripped through the small townships of Rappville, Whiporie, Drake and surrounding areas of Casino in early October, the communities were shattered and left with little ways to rebuild.

In its wake, the Casino RSM Club has provided approximately $12,000 to assist these small communities and the services used to aid those fighting fires.

This money has gone towards providing water, food, medical supplies, stock and pet feed.

In supporting Casino RSM Club, Tweed Clubs have this week donated a further $8,000 to the fundraising efforts with monies raised by Club CEOs. Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club General Manager, Phil Kelly and Chairman, Ray Breen, alongside Seagulls Club General Manager, Stuart Burrows, presented a cheque to Casino RSM Club Secretary Manager, Neale Genge and Assistant Secretary Manager, Simone Skenner, on behalf of Tweed Clubs.

“On behalf of Casino, our Club, Rappville, Whiporie, Drake and the surrounding affected

communities, we thank Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club and all the Tweed Clubs for their generosity and support through these hard times,” Mrs Skenner said.

“It certainly has assisted us with being able to provide the care and help for these families that they need.

“Unfortunately, until we see some rain, the area and those affected are just going to keep growing.”

“I think it is very important for these small communities to see that they are not alone in these hard times, that not only are their neighbouring townships hurting for them, but it is felt all the way up the coast.

In addition to assisting the fundraising efforts of Casino RSM Club, Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club has also donated $20,000 to assist Clubs NSW raise money to support the Rural Fire Service (RFS).

These funds, controlled by the state bodies, will buy fuel, food for volunteers and equipment for our local RFS whilst they are protecting properties in our region.

But the fundraising doesn’t stop there.

On Wednesday, November 27, A Current Affair (Nine Network) aired a segment on the ‘Your local Club’ (ClubsNSW) Litres for the Land appeal, demonstrating the impact of the campaign.

The community of Rappville (pictured above) was among the hardest hit by the devastating fires

In partnership with 2GB, the initiative is raising money for the purchase of much-needed water in areas of the state where water resources are scarce.

It’s inspired by Club North Haven’s ‘Million Litre Promise’, who are well on track to meet their target by the end of the year.

In the past week, $234,156 has been donated by the following clubs: Burwood RSL, Campsie RSL, Club Rivers, Dooleys Lidcombe, Goulburn Soldiers Club, Gwandalan Bowling Club, Ingleburn RSL, Kingscliff Beach

Bowls Club, South Tamworth Bowling Club, Swansea RSL Club, Swansea Workers Club and Wilcannia Golf Club.

From Sunday, December 1, Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club will kick off their 12-month campaign to support ‘Litres for the Land’ by donating $1 from the sale of every schooner of XXXX Gold.

On current figures, this should see a further $50,000 being donated by the club.

Furthermore, Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club will donate $2 from the sale of each parmigiana over

three months to support the Buy a Bale campaign and Parma for a Farmer.

Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club General Manager, Phil Kelly, insists that “most Clubs are fundraising to support the drought and affected farmers as well as fire victims and communities through different events and fundraising initiatives”.

“They critiqued each other's work and had to apply the feedback they were given to improve their writing.

“We used the same process with the drawings.

They created several drafts and applied feedback to improve the quality of their work.

“Students were responsible for designing their own layout which had to include their writing, photos and their own artwork.”

“The photos in the book were given to us by three local photographers, Graham Donaldson, Yvonne Gardiner and Bruce MacGregor.”

Year six student, Cooper, said he was proud of the book because “we put a lot of time and effort into it”.

“I think it will help to protect endangered beach-nesting birds because it has a lot of information about the birds and shows where dog exclusion zones are," Cooper said.

Bodhi said the project has opened her eyes to local bird life.

“Doing this project has taught me more about the dangers beach-nesting birds are facing,” she said.

Sienna said she had learnt that a bush stonecurlew and a beach stone-curlew are not the same thing.

The class also received a grant of $1,400 to print another run of books from ITV, the production company behind I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here with Community Liaison Lanie Loughlin attending the launch.

Copies of the book are being distributed to all Tweed Shire Council libraries and all Tweed Coast schools thanks to the grant funds from the ITV Tweed Community Initiative Fund.

By Jo Kennett YEAR SIX students at Banora Point Public School have launched a new book dedicated to the shorebirds and seabirds of the Tweed Coast.

The book is designed to educate the public on the importance of protecting these vulnerable species.

Seabirds and Shorebirds of the Tweed Coast was launched at the school's Celebration of Learning on Friday, November 22, when Year 6 students presented their projects to parents and guests.

Teacher Michael Wilkinson worked with Teacher Aide Monique Kirkby to help the students complete the book, although Mr Wilkinson said everything in the book was the student's own work.

The book was inspired by the hatching of a critically endangered beach stone-curlew chick at Hastings Point last summer.

“After reading the articles in the Tweed Weekly and Tweed Link about the successful hatching of the beach stone-curlew chick at Hastings Point we went on an excursion to Hastings Point to see where the hatching had taken place,” Mr Wilkinson said.

“After talking to Linda Brannian from BirdLife Australia and Pamela Gray from Tweed Shire Council, we realised that there was a need to increase community awareness about these birds and how to protect them and decided that doing a book might help to achieve that.”

Mr Wilkinson said students worked in pairs to read and summarise information about a particular bird from a number of sources.

“They then had to write a first draft in their own words from their summaries,” he said.

Lucky lorikeet safe and sound

Burringbar budding inventor Isaac Poulsen has come up with a future solutions for powering drones.

Burringbar inventor invited to Questacon in Canberra

By Jonathon Howard ASPIRING YOUNG inventor and Burringbar local Isaac Poulsen, 16, has been handpicked to attend Questacon in Canberra next year run by the National Science and Technology Centre.

Isaac will join 23 other young Australians from across the country to participate in the National Questacon Invention Convention.

Isaac was selected for his idea to create battery storage drones, which in the future could provide ideal recharging points for smaller drones, in order to avoid returning home.

Working with Questacon facilitators and innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs from around Australia, students will spend the week turning their big ideas into reality.

Speaking with The Weekly, Isaac said he would love to see an implementation of his idea.

“Whether it be firefighting or maritime I am sure we will see it integrate over the years,” he said.

“With the development of different batteries, we could see far greater flight times on smaller drones, linked with faster processing and lower manufacturing costs, these modular drones could be rolled out across the country.”

Isaac said he’s had many failures as a budding inventor, but he never gives up.

“Being a student, I am very limited to what I can purchase,” he said.

“Over the recent months I’ve had multiple crashes leading to many weeks of waiting for parts to arrive.

“Along with this are my resources, I have a very limited budget and therefore am restricted to what I can buy.

“I have had two successful flights involving the deployment of a secondary drone from a larger one and long range flights involving two different drones piggybacked to help improve efficiency.

“Those are a long way from the larger scale fleets I have envisioned they are still a vital steppingstone on the path to completion.”

Isaac said he first started in the radiocontrolled hobby industry and had very little idea of where he wanted to go.

“Over the years my passion for electronics and robotics have led me down a fascinating path, allowing me to meet extraordinary people who have given me very useful advice on where I could go in life,” he said.

“For the last three years I have had my sights set on studying mechatronic engineering at Queensland University, mechatronics is the study of software, electrical and mechanical engineering.”

Isaac’s advice to other young inventors was to look at the things you love first.

“Even if you don’t see it at first, take a look around at what you spend your time doing and follow that, find a place where you can expand on that idea and grow your passion for whatever it may be,” he said.

The National Questacon Invention Convention runs from January 13-17, 2020, at The Ian Potter Foundation Technology Learning Centre in Canberra. Delegates will showcase their prototypes at a final event attended by invited guests including delegates’ families.

Southern Cross get behind Tweed Netball TNA President Helen Rigney said the Tweed Netball Executive was excited about the partnership.

“This sponsorship will go a long way towards improving the education of our coaches, umpires and players and hopefully allow a number of much needed upgrades to our facilities, helping to accommodate the rising number of players and supporters on a weekly basis who come to our courts at Arkinstall Park,” she said.

“The sponsorship money provided by SCCU will go a long way in ensuring a solid future for the Tweed Netball Association over the next 3 years and beyond.”

“It’s great to have some light-hearted jobs whether it’s a bird in a tree or a cat down a drain with a good outcome because sometimes our job isn’t pretty or nice, so it makes a nice change.”

According to one witness the lorikeet was very hungry and was off for a trip to the vet.

Tweed Rescue relies heavily on local donations and support.

Despite spending much of their spare time and working hours attending motor vehicle accidents, Mt Warning retrievals and other rescues, the team have to apply for grants and fundraise to purchase all assets to assist in operations including vehicles, training headquarters, fuel and training gear.

If you would like to help this amazing team, please contact them through the Tweed District Rescue Squad VRA on www.facebook.com/ tweeddistrictrescuesquad/

Feeling Dizzy?

You could have a balance or ves�bular disorder

BALANCE is easily taken for granted.

However when the fragile ves�bular organs of the inner ear and brain are damaged by illness or injury, anyone can lose their ability to balance.

T

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

Balance disorders are typically under diagnosed and undertreated.

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

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

HOW CAN YOUR OSTEOPATH HELP? There are many causes of dizziness or vertigo. But most types of vestibular disorders can be diagnosed by means of a thorough medical history and clinical examination. The most common type of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), and once diagnosed is easily treated with repositioning manoeuvres, with a success rate of 90%. (Silva, 2014).

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

Your Osteopath can diagnose most of the common types of vestibular disorders and can either treat the condition or refer on for further diagnosis and treatment.

SOUTHERN CROSS Credit Union (SCCU) has signed a three-year sponsorship deal with Tweed Netball Association (TNA) as the local company continues to highlight its commitment to the Tweed Shire.

SCCU has also committed to supporting community organisations including Cudgen Headland Surf Club, Life Education, Kingscliff Netball Club, Charity Cup along with other local community groups through its Community Partnerships Program.

“SCCU are delighted to announce their partnership with Tweed Netball Association,” SCCU Community Sponsorship Specialist Cassie Nicole said.

“As a customer owned financial institution, it is important for us to get involved with the groups we sponsor, and to help make a difference in the communities we live in.

“We are looking forward to continuing a strong relationship with TNA, a partnership that presents great opportunities for both organisations in our region.

“Our focus of locals supporting local has never been stronger.”

THE LEGENDS at Tweed District Rescue Squad VRA have been out saving lives again but this time their patient was a lucky lorikeet.

The injured bird was stuck on ibis island at Knox Park, Murwillumbah, before being rescued.

Squad President Drew Carr said he had a phone call from a member of the public saying Wires were at Knox Park trying to rescue the bird from the island.

“I called some crew and we used some swift water equipment including our Ark Angel rescue boat; that’s a swift watercraft that was used in Cyclone Debbie,” Mr Carr said.

“We used that to get across the pond to get the animal and then we packed it up and delivered it to the Wires rep on the scene.

Christmas

Local businesses ready to help with gift ideas

$199

IT’S THE most wonderful time of the year and local businesses are eager to help with all your Christmas gifts to make your family and friends feel special.

Our Christmas Gifts feature offers a range of great local businesses and includes a variety of ideas to help you fill those stockings.

To help get the ball rolling The Weekly has pulled together a list of the top 10 gift ideas for 2019.

1.

Cosmetics and skin treatment: A good pampering will always be a popular gift and offers your loved one some time out from a busy world.

2.

Technology and gadgets: Keep the kids busy with some of the latest in technology with drones a big seller this year as well as phones and tablets.

3.

Fashion: It might be a little tricky to pick someone’s style, but clothing and accessories will always provide you with great feedback and it’s thoughtful.

4.

Jewellery: A a girl can never have enough jewellery and nothing says “I love you” more than a diamond.

5.

Handcrafted items: The trend in 2019 is handmade or crafted items. They support

9ct Gold Diamond Pendant 65683-E03

9ct Gold Diamond Ring 25682-A14

9ct Gold Diamond Earrings 55684-E04

local artists and can provide a great talking point and background story to the recipient.

6.

Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Items: A growing area of the market this Christmas is gifts with a sustainable story.

Look for natural materials and items for everyday use such as reusable coffee cups.

7.

Booze: A fine wine or spirit will also bring a smile to those who enjoy a drink. Look for something that impresses by asking for help on the red wines or simply go top shelf champagne.

8.

Jocks, Socks and Men’s Fashion: It might sound like something grandma would think of, but that’s for good reason, as guys are always in need of jocks and socks. If that’s a little underwhelming thing about a nice cologne.

9.

Thrilling Experiences: If you’re short on ideas, think about an amazing experience in the Tweed Shire. There’s plenty of tourism operators ready to assist you with an experience that can create lasting memories.

10.

Homewares: Maybe not pots and pans, but certainly a new Thermamix would go down a treat. If that’s a little outside your budge, what about a popcorn maker or something decorative for the home.

Are you struggling to see to draw your eyebrows on?

Do you have shaking hands? Do you wear glasses, making putting eyeliner on difficult?

“We started to help him with his English, then his schooling fees, then his accommodation and then his parents wanted to meet us.

“When we visited them in their rice farming village we came away from it asking ourselves what we could do.

“So we decided to do something we knew nothing about which was to build a small road into the village so they could get their produce to the markets throughout the year because for six months of the year they were completely cut off by the rains during the wet season.”

Chanthy is now 29 years old and since their first visit to the village, Mrs Clark and Mr Finlay have not only built a road, but established pig and buffalo farms, built a school and most recently established the Women’s Business Centre.

“It’s the poorest country in Asia but you don’t have to do much, because when you give people what you or I would consider a very small opportunity, they run with it,” Mrs Clark said.

“We met this woman who did incredible embroidered art work. Embroidery and weaving is an art form that is very close to the heart of these women who use it as an expression of their own language, as many of the groups have no written language.”

The Centre now has an online business and is training other women in the art forms.

“All of this is being done with money that has almost all been raised in the Tweed Valley,” Mrs Clark said.

“We’ve both been journalists for more than 42 years so we made documentaries about what we were doing and showed them at Kingscliff and at Murwillumbah at the Regent.”

M-Arts pop-up shop giving back at Christmas

By Megan Albany MORE THAN 20 pop-up stalls will be open for locals wanting to find bespoke Christmas gifts, handmade creative gifts, artwork, handicrafts and jewellery at the M-Arts precinct in Murwillumbah on Friday, December 13, from 5pm to 10pm.

The Christmas market, Up Late at M-Arts, will also feature live music, kids activities and food and drinks.

One of the pop-up shops, the Women’s Business Textile Arts Centre, will also be selling gifts that give back.

The Women’s Business Centre is a charitable organisation that was established in Northern Laos in 2018 by Tweed residents and former ABC foreign correspondents Trish Clark and Iain Finlay as part of a plan to help preserve women’s traditional weaving and embroidery skills in the impoverished nation.

The intricate work of women from the Centre will be on sale at the Christmas markets where it will be featured on a number of fashion garments, homewares and accessories.

Mrs Clark said purchases of the hand-made art will help to keep the Textile Arts Centre operating so it can continue to provide the talented artisans with alternative means of earning income other than working the rice fields of their small family farms.

“We both have been working in Northern Laos since 2010,” Mrs Clark said.

“We went to Luang Prabang to work quietly on our own because we write books.

“Within the first couple of days of being there we met an eighteen-year-old man called Chanthy who was a waiter in a restaurant and was the first person to leave his village and get training in the big city.

Locals changing slum kids’ lives with new school Forecast for summer

By Jo Kennett IT’S BEEN a massive year for one of the Tweed Shire’s favourite charities, The Pencil Tree, with founder Steve Bellamy just back from the opening of a new school in northern India, funded largely by the generous people of the Tweed.

Mr Bellamy said the opening of the pre-school in a slum camp at Himachal Pradesh, near the Dalai Lama’s hometown of Dharamshala, was a “fantastic celebration”.

“I must have shaken 100 hands and had 500 photos taken,” Mr Bellamy told The Weekly.

“They are so grateful to The Pencil Tree for providing such a magnificent building and the kids are so very pleased with their new surroundings.

“They all worked so hard cleaning and moving desks and chairs, and everyone made either a painting or collage of coloured shapes to decorate their classrooms.”

The opening celebration was held on November 19, the official Thanks Day when the Dalai Lama originally blessed the Tibetan-run Tong-Len Charitable Trust which oversaw the school construction.

“A few important people gave speeches but mostly it was the children performing different cultural dances, with amazing costumes,” Mr Bellamy said.

“The kids were so proud to be on the stage entertaining their parents who were dressed in their best outfits.

“These are people that are not normally acknowledged by society.

“They are so connected and proud of their school and it is just so heartwarming.”

Mr Bellamy said it was just over 12 months ago that The Pencil Tree committed to build one new classroom in northern India.

‘In April this year we were there to officially open three brand new classrooms,” he said.

“We have had the support and help of so many local people and some from far and wide.

“Our fundraising efforts included garage sales, trivia nights and fundraising dinners, high teas and we have passed around the hat several times too.”

The Pencil Tree is a registered charity located in Cabarita Beach.

“Part of what we do is to take small groups of people to India, twice a year so they can see for themselves what work we do for the local children,” Mr Bellamy said.

“Currently we support eleven government schools in remote and poor areas of the foothills of the Himalayas in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh and now deliver over 500 student packs into the hands of each child every April, an awesome achievement.

“However, our main focus is to help a Tibetan-run organisation, the Tong-Len Charitable Trust which oversaw the school construction, that places underprivileged Hindu children from the slums into a private school.”

Mr Bellamy said the program had been very successful with many children gaining places in colleges and universities in India and overseas.

“With space running out, the Pencil Tree agreed to step in to help and we were thrilled to have raised the funds for a purpose-built school to house children from kindy to year 10,” he said.

Kids enjoying the first Pencil Tree school in Northern India

“We could not be prouder, and we wish to thank all those wonderful people who have made this big dream a reality.

“Thank you, thank you. The Pencil Tree could not have achieved this without your help.”

Mr Bellamy said that in 2020, students will be registering for the New Year and The Pencil Tree is looking for sponsors “to give these amazing young people a chance of a brighter future than their parents could ever imagine.”

“For around $1 a day you can provide a good private school education for a needy child, and you can come on a Pencil Tree trip to India to visit your child,” he said.

“Thanks again for your wonderful helpremember every dollar raised – gets to the children - 100 per cent.”

It’s a remarkable achievement for Mr Bellamy and his team and from all of the generous people, including many locals, who have pitched in to help make this dream, which will change the lives of some young children forever, come true.

THE BUREAU of Meteorology has recently released its 2019/20 Summer Outlook, showing large parts of the country including the Tweed Shire are likely to see a continuation of warmer and drier than average conditions experienced throughout spring.

The climate outlook shows a high likelihood of warmer than average days and nights for most of the country, while rainfall is likely to be below average for large parts of the nation’s east coast.

Only coastal areas of Western Australia, stretching from the Midwest to the Kimberley are showing increased odds of wetter than average conditions.

Bureau of Meteorology head of long-range forecasts Dr Andrew Watkins said Australia’s outlook was being influenced by one of Australia’s main climate drivers.

“The key culprit for our current and expected conditions is one of the strongest positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events on record,” Dr Watkins said.

“A positive IOD means we have cooler than average water pooling off Indonesia, and this means we see less rain-bearing weather systems, and warmer than average temperatures for large parts of the country.

“The positive IOD means we’re also expecting a delayed onset for the northern monsoon, one of the key drivers for tropical rainfall during the summer months.

“At this stage we’re expecting the onset of the northern monsoon by mid-summer, which should see the odds for closer to average rainfall increasing from January and into February.”

Dr Watkins said the outlook was an important reminder for communities to be alert to the potential severe weather risks over the coming months.

“We’ve already seen significant bushfire activity during spring, and the outlook for drier and warmer than average conditions will maintain that heightened risk over the coming months.

“This outlook also means the risk of heatwaves is increased, so it’s important the community stays up to date with the latest information and advice from authorities and the Bureau’s heatwave forecasts and warnings.

“Even with a drier than average outlook, localised flooding remains a risk under particular meteorological conditions such as thunderstorms, and of course communities in the north need to be prepared at this time of year for tropical cyclones.”

Singing sensation Emmagen has been busy

By Jonathon Howard MURWILLUMBAH SINGING sensation Emmagen Rain has been busy winning coveted titles across the globe this year as the youngster prepares for her next big challenge of writing originals.

Proud local mother Justine Rain recently wrote to The Weekly to provide readers with an update on her daughter’s outstanding achievements and what’s next for the rising star.

“Emmagen just returned from Las Vegas where she competed in the World Karaoke Tour Singing Championship (WKT),” she said.

“After four preliminary rounds, Emmagen was crowned the Australian World Karaoke Tour Junior Champion in September and given the opportunity to compete in Las Vegas for the world title.

“The competition in Vegas took place from November 17 to 20 at Vince Neils Tatuado Bar at Circus Circus Casino.

“After three rounds, Emmagen won the comp and was crowned the 2019 World Karaoke Tour World Singing Championships Junior World Champion.”

Emmagen won flights and accommodation in Canada where she will record an original song and make a music video as well as six months singing lessons with a vocal coach, a photoshoot and is now the face of WKT 2020.

“She also had the opportunity to sing with Ben Carey from Savage Garden and the drummer from Matchbox 20,” she said.

The young singer is now working on the next chapter of her musical journey which includes writing and performing originals.

“Emmagen has been writing originals and is going to Sydney in December to write and record originals,” Justine said.

Emmagen said she underwent an emotional rollercoaster with the win.

“It’s hard to put into words how winning the WKT world title felt,” she said.

“I literally had trouble speaking and felt very emotional. It feels so special winning a world title, it took a lot to get to Vegas and I feel so thankful and amazed that people like my singing and enjoy my performances.

“Next, I’ll go to Canada and record an original song and a music video and back to Vegas to defend my works title in November next year.”

Celebrating tourism in the Tweed

By Tweed Tourism Co GM Brad Nardi

TOURISM IS an industry that never really switches off - people are taking holidays every day of the year and are looking forward to (and expecting) great experiences and excellent customer service throughout each moment of their break.

Anyone who has run a business in the tourism industry knows how much hard work this can be, not only delivering visitors with a consistently high quality experience each and every day of the year, but also managing all the other elements of a business - forward planning, marketing, leading a team, managing finances and budgets, handling bookings, building networks - and many other small and large tasks.

And while most of us in tourism are working in the industry because we’re passionate about creating memorable holiday experiences for visitors, it’s always cause for celebration when recognised by peers with an award for all that hard work.

Tourism in the Tweed has been in the national and international spotlight recently thanks to a swag of awards recognising the excellence of our incredible tourism operators, across food, luxury to holiday park accommodation and holiday experiences.

Earlier this month at the NSW Tourism Awards, the state’s annual celebration of tourism excellence, Blue Ginger Picnics took out the Gold Award in the category of Specialised Tourism Services - great acknowledgement of a business that is plastic-free and features fresh local produce in

beautiful Tweed settings from coast to country.

We’re also proud of our other finalists at the NSW Tourism Awards, Tasting Plate Tours and North Star Holiday Resort.

North Star Holiday Resort also won the Award of Excellence for Holiday Park of the Year, along with the inaugural President’s Award, at the recent Caravan & Camping Industry Awards. This national recognition followed wins by North Star as the Best Tourism and Visitor Experience at the Tweed Shire business excellence awards and the NSW Business Chamber Excellence Awards.

Also, on the national stage, our iconic Mount Warning Hotel in Uki, was a finalist in the Australian Hotel Associations (AHA) National Awards for Excellence.

Generating significant positive media for the region, Ben and Yen Devlin and the Pipit team in Pottsville, took out the revered Good Food Guide 2020 Santa Vittoria Regional Restaurant of the Year. Pipit, along with Paper Daisy at Halcyon House, also received One Hat by the judges at these prestigious restaurant awards.

On the global stage, Halcyon House at Cabarita Beach made the esteemed list in Conde Nast Traveller’s 32nd annual Readers’ Choice Awards, which is based on votes from over 600,000 readers, in the category of top 10 Hotels in Australia and New Zealand.

All of these awards are fantastic recognition for the winners and also bring benefit to all of us in the Tweed’s tourism industry by bringing more awareness and increased interest in visiting our region, definitely cause for celebration!

By Jonathon Howard

M E M B E R S F RO M N o r t h C o a s t Speedboat Classics visited Fingal Head on Saturday, November 30, and are inviting fellow classic boat lovers to get in contact.

Passionate about their classic speedboats from the eras of the 1960s to the 1980s, Narelle and Jeff Reardon set up North Coast Speedboat Classics late last year for likeminded boaties.

“We started North Coast Speedboat Classics with the aim to bring classic boat enthusiasts together on a river somewhere to share in the pleasure and passion of these old boats and to form a strong base of people for great socials on the water, just for fun,” Narelle told The Weekly.

“We created our site in September last year after disappointment with other groups and now have almost 900 members.

“We run fun runs on various rivers along the beautiful east coast of NSW monthly and our most recent run was on the Tweed River, launching from Fingal Head boatramp in the Sailing Club area.”

Narelle said several members were in attendance and created a great day out on the water. “ We m o t o r e d u p s t r e a m t ow a r d s Murwillumbah, stopping along the way before returning to Fingal Head for social time,” she said.

“Our last run here attracted over 20 boats and was a great success.

“We have been noticing a real interest by the local communities in the areas where we have our runs and spectators really enjoy the sight and sounds of these classic beauties of which there is a big variety.”

Narelle said she wanted to let The Weekly readers know and to give the public a chance to come and check out the boats at future events.

“Or join the club and enjoy some great company,” she said.

“Our group is not confined to one brand or type and we welcome all older boats whether they are inboard, outboard, tinnies, half cabs or anything in between, timber, fibreglass or metal.

“We are not racing, there are no fees, forms or charges (apart from one annual two day

festival at Kempsey) and boaties choose how far and fast they want to run.

“Our future plans are to form a base location in Kempsey at Riverside Park boat ramp area on the Macleay River as this location ticks all our boxes and has council’s total support.

“But we will also continue having runs on the Tweed River and the Hunter River at Raymond Terrace as these locations have proved to be very popular and well supported.

“We offer runs in different areas to give boaties a chance to join a run without having to travel too far.”

Choir weaves healing Christmas magic

By Megan Albany AFTER WINNING the Pacific Fair A Cappella Choir competition to perform at the 2019 Broadbeach Christmas Carols on Saturday, December 14, at Kurrawa Park from 6pm-8pm.

Voice Weavers Director, Hayden Bech, said the choir is hoping to spread some Christmas joy in amongst the Tweed’s ongoing fires and drought.

“I think carols are such a big part of Christmas because there’s nothing else like them for bringing people together,” Mr Bech said.

“Music helps us process emotion and finding a song that really resonates with the way you’re feeling is a really helpful process,” he said.

“When you do that while you are singing with other people around you ,it helps to break down walls.”

Mr Bech said he believes carols are very inclusive because they allow the audience to participate in singing regardless of their often diverse beliefs around Christmas.

“Carols are a great opportunity to get people singing because everybody knows the tunes,” he said.

“Music transcends the religious debate and even though carols often talk about god, which some people don’t believe in, they are also all about love and family and so even the people who don’t have religious beliefs can still get a guilty pleasure out of joining in and singing along.

Special Baroque show

Voice Weavers Warming at the Ob La Di Deke Sharon Workshop in September 2019

“It is great to give people the opportunity to join in with singing, particularly in Australia, where we often shy away from singing music and just consume music.”

For those who want to sing more often than just at Christmas time, Mr Bech said the choir are always looking for new members.

“Anyone who is interested is welcome to check out a rehearsal, it’s a lot easier to get started than you might think.”

The Musical Director added that even those who believe they cannot sing are welcome.

“We get members who think they can’t sing all the time,” he said.

“We have some singers who actually really struggled when they first came and for a lot of people that’s a mental thing as they have often been told they can’t sing and then they come to us and we tell them they can.

“We give them a lot of support and we’ve found that people can make huge improvements and that confidence then passes on from one person to the next.”

Christmas concert aims to keep the music alive

FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS

The last movie of the year based on music and inspired by real events is the comedy Fisherman’s Friends.

Make sure you catch the NRSO concert before Christmas

music and they are very pleased to have it close by instead of having to travel to venues in Brisbane, as a lot of the audience are retired people.”

Ms McBurney said the Christmas concert promises to have something for everyone.

“It will be a very enjoyable afternoon of popular music and it will be a bit of fun,” she said.

“There are pieces like Eine Kleine Nacht Music, some music from Carmen and some more popular music from Phantom of the Opera as well as some duets from White Christmas.”

Fo r M s M c B u r n e y, m u s i c i s synonymous with Christmas and is something she associates with her childhood.

“I remember my dad playing the Nutcracker Suite on old vinyl records years ago and we also grew up with a lot popular music from people like Nat King Cole,” she said.

“My favourite carol would have to be Hark the Herald Angels Sing because

it’s such a well written song and it’s very satisfying for me as a musician.”

Having been a violinist with the NRSO for over 15 years Ms McBurney said making music is just a normal part of life for her whole family.

“I’ve grown up with music and it’s now one of those things that just becomes part of your life,” she said.

“I started playing guitar when I was young but switched later to violin because I just found it a more satisfying instrument for me and for some reason I seemed to pick it up fairly easily.

“I even met my partner Mark Meekin who also now plays in the NRSO through music years ago in an orchestra.”

Tickets are available at www.nrso.com. au or at Murwillumbah Music on 02 6672 5404 (credit card facility) or at the door on the day (cash only) and cost $30 for adults. Children under 18 accompanied by an adult are free. For inquiries phone 0478 012 324.

Following on the ‘genre’ inaugurated years ago by The Full Monty where a group of ordinary, if not partially dis-functional men perform extraordinary feats, this film is based on the real story of the Fishermen’s Friends, an all-male a cappella folk singing group from Cornwall who had been performing locally since 1995 but after signing a record deal with Universal Music in 2010 become an unexpected hit.

The movie is produced by the same team behind the success of Finding Your Feet. The team developed the idea of fictionalizing the real story of the choir after seeing them perform live on a popular TV program. They contacted the group manager and optioned the rights to the group’s story; as a result, all the members of the band have acting cameos and worked as consultants on the film, which stars an ensemble cast. The singing is a blend of the voices of the group themselves and of the actors.

Most of the choir’s original members grew up within half a mile of Port Isaac, were either fishermen, coastguards or life boatmen, and their performances combine traditional songs of the sea with more contemporary folk music and a large dash of humor. The premise of the film’s narrative is the largely fictional story of Danny, a music industry executive who while signing the choir to a London record label develops a relationship with one of the band member’s daughters; while in the less romantic reality a radio presenter who was in Cornwall on holiday and happened to come across the choir’s home made CDs introduced them to Universal Music. In any case, the message is clear: friendship and community are more important than fame - and good fortune blesses those who get together for a good cause..!

By Megan Albany THE NORTHERN Rivers Symphony Orchestra (NRSO) is holding a Christmas Concert with community carols as well as orchestral and solo performances on Sunday, December 15, at 2.30pm at the Tweed Heads Civic Centre.

The Concert is part of a fundraiser to assist the renowned orchestra to continue to provide classical music to the Tweed.

Founded in the early 1990s by Chief Conductor and Artistic Director Barry Singh, the NRSO has produced everything from chamber ensembles to full-scale ballet performances and has twice been featured on ABC’s Australian Story.

“The orchestra is not for profit and as we do not have our own venue we have a lot of operational expenses,” NRSO Orchestra Manager Lyn McBurney said.

“Over the years we have been helped by generous individuals and corporate sponsors and we have been trying to obtain grants but they have been few and far between this year.” she said.

Ms McBurney, who is also the Musical Director for the Christmas Concert, said having a local orchestra is particularly important for elderly audiences who are less likely to be able travel to enjoy the music they love.

“There’s a lot of people around here that have been following us for years,” Ms McBurney said.

“We normally perform concert pieces from the classical repetoire and we are getting more people interested in this

Photo shoot for a great cause

By Megan Albany ON SUNDAY, December 8, two Tweed Shire photographers will be offering ten minute mini photography sessions at Budd Park in Murwillumbah between 3pm and 5pm in aid of the Rural Fire Service.

Respected photographers Katrina Cram and Kayla Ellery (pictured below) are combining their efforts to offer professional photo shoots to individuals, families and businesses who want to get some great quality photos while helping an essential service.

Katrina Cram spoke to The Weekly about why they are passionate about helping the hard-working RFS teams.

“The RFS volunteers have been working tirelessly to save lives, homes, animals and property,” Ms Cram said.

“We cannot thank them enough. “ M y b ro t h e r l i v e s at t h e e n d o f Commissioners Creek Rd and he only just dodged the fires, we thought he might have lost his house but luckily it was saved.

“Kayla is originally from Kempsey and she has lots of family and friends down that way who have also been affected so we wanted to do what we could to help.

“On Sunday both Kayla and I will be photographing at the same time so we’ll take as many photos as we can in the ten minutes.

“We are asking for a minimum donation of $20 but we’re hoping people will dig a lot deeper than that because one hundred per cent of the money we raise will go straight to the RFS.” The photographers, who normally charge a minimum of $450 for a professional photo

shoot, said the timeslots for the sessions are filling up fast.

“So far we’ve got people dressing up for their Christmas photos, families who want portraits and we’ve even got some businesses who want to update their headshots,” Ms Cram said.

“We can do anything, so if someone has a bump happening we can even do a quick maternity shoot, whatever you need we can do it for you.”

Ms Cram, who has been a photographer for over twenty years, said she never gets tired of taking photos.

“I’m always looking forward to the next photo session,” she said.

“Probably my favourite photo shoot was of twins in their mid-twenties where we did a really moody Victorian shoot.

“The hair, makeup and costuming were amazing.

“The twins said it helped them reconnect as sisters as during the shoot their skin was touching and their faces were very close to each other, so it was almost like them being back in the womb and sharing that closeness and space.

“I love being able to capture those moments.”

As for being photographed herself, Ms Cram said she will do it when she has to.

“It’s not too bad getting my photo taken, it depends on my mood but I very rarely do selfies,” she said.

“Kayla and I can take a selfie for you though,” she laughed.

To book in for a photography session call 0432 258 587 or email katrina@ k a t r i n a c r a m p h o t o g r a p h y. c o m . To view photography samples visit www. katrinacramphotography.com or https:// kaynellphotography.com/about/

Men of League kick off the festive season

By Megan Albany THE TWEED District Men of League are holding their Christmas Kick Off Club Function on Sunday, December 8, at 1pm at the Kirra Beach Hotel Beer Garden.

President of the organisation, Greg Hodge, said the get together is an opportunity for members and supporters to celebrate a year of working hard to support the less fortunate in their industry.

“The foundation originally kicked off in the Tweed in 2004 and it’s all about helping league families who have fallen on hard times,” Mr Hodge said.

“We support them through grants and by doing things like renovations for houses and buying equipment such as wheelchairs and walkers.

A sacrificial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efficiently working system and a costly replacement.

Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion.

Carnage and capsizes as gusty conditions challenge Tweed sailors STRONG GUSTY conditions challenged sailors contesting heat four of the Tweed Sailing Club’s Summer Pointscore Series.

Winds increased rapidly after the start with a strong ebbing tide raising choppy conditions. Many boats capsized or had an early retirement.

The fleet of 11 boats included five single handers, six two handers, and three Corsairs sailing four handed. Two junior teams competed, both sailing Flying Ants.

Carnage began early with many capsizes.

Corsair Capers was capsized and filled with water and struggled to return to the harbour. Both Flying Ants retired early, but the remainder continued and completed the course.

Three NSs contested heat two of the Tweed River NS14 Class Championship in conditions that favoured boat handling skills. Old hand Adam – last year’s class champions, Adam Hurt and Tom Busbridge – had the skills, getting home a solid four minutes ahead of current class leaders Matt Andrews and Igor Prada.

These two teams are now placed equal first in the 2019-2020 summer championship series with two races remaining.

The single handers contested their class Yardstick series. First finisher was Great Grand Master Gary McCrohan who showed true grit to stay on the course and finish, getting a rare win ahead of Kate Yeomans who finished closed behind.

Many sailors were backing up from last weekend’s Clarence River Bridge to Breakers Race. Conditions on the Clarence were as rough as usual, with winds reaching 30 knots

against a strong-running ebb tide.

Tweed River had five boats competing in the Standard Mono-hulls division. Local sailor Kate Yeomans won the division in her Laser, against very strong competition, and Team Swell Lady, with an all-male crew of Matt Andrews, Craig Foley amdnd Mark Reynolds, scored an impressive third place, well ahead of the rest of the fleet.

Sailing is on again this Sunday at Fingal Head, with racing starting at 1pm. A big fleet is expected for the third heat of the Corsair Class Championship.

Bus network changes

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC - Keith Kennedy

IT WAS rough surf and strong windy conditions for the Club Surf Carnival last Sunday.

Eleven clubs had representatives although not in large numbers and there were limited events in the surf and board and ski events were held over three rounds of four divisions and surf and iron person straight finals along with the taplin relay and board rescue ‘dash for cash’.

The beach events were sprint, flags and relay. In the Open Division, Anthea Warne won the surfboard and iron woman, whilst Luke Chaffer won ski, board and iron man. Baily Copeland took honours in the surf, Cooper Tate the 15-year board and Paul Allen the masters flags, and the teams were placed first, second and third in the taplin relay. Twenty-three minor placings enabled the team to win the point score.

Thanks to our members providing water safety in difficult conditions which included one IRB roll over and to our workforce members.

The NSW Inter-branch will be

held at Bulli this weekend. The FNC team of 40 had a training session at Kingscliff last Saturday.

They will travel by bus, departing Thursday morning and will pick up squad members on the way. All told, Cudgen have 22 of the junior-senior squad of 40 members. Six Country and four City Branches contest the point score.

Lily O’Sullivan is part of the eight person NSW Country Dolphins team that contested round 1 of the Super Surf Teams League at Bulli last Sunday.

Thirteen teams from around Australia took part in fifteen sand and ocean events. The Qld Canecutters took out the inaugural event from the WA Scarborough Sunsets. NSW Country placed 11th.

Round 2 will be at Surfers Paradise on December 15.

The Cudgen Old Boys Association will hold their Christmas meeting this Saturday afternoon from 2.30pm at the Murwillumbah Riverview Hotel. Along with current, any past Club member or

associate is invited to join or renew their membership and members’ partners are welcome. Starting in 1993, with a handful of members fundraising, the Association has assisted the Surf Club in cash and kind of approximately $200,000 to date.

In general comments by BNSW it was stated, amongst other kind words, that – quote “David played his matches in great spirit and despite narrowly missing out on the semifinals, was overjoyed just to be out on the green competing.”

CONGRATULATIONS TO Cabarita’s David Sheather on his excellent performance at the recent State Rookies Singles finals conducted at Raymond Terrace.

David, a very new comer to the sport of bowls with barely six months experience on the greens, jumped in the deep end in October to contest the Zone One Singles qualifying rounds of this championship conducted at Ballina and, indeed, qualify he did!

David’s recent performance at Raymond Terrace was rewarded with him being presented with the Rookies Encouragement Award.

Playing strongly during the section play, David went down by a paltry two shots to Zone 10’s Peter Farrel,

Well done, David. Take a bow.

Women’s Summer League competition at District level is now drawing to a close with the final between Pottsville Pelicans (Coral Nathan, Desley Waterson and Sue Lawrance) and Condong Crushettes (Kim Keevers, Leanne Johnston and Carolyn Caine) set down to be conducted this afternoon, Thursday 5 December, at Condong with play scheduled to commence at 6pm District winners will then go forward to contest the State finals at Blacktown Workers’ Club come March 2020.

Ocean Shores’ Men’s Minor Singles Championship has now been completed with Kirk Olive taking out top honours following a tough encounter with Jamie High. Well done, Kirk.

See you on the greens.

Good bowling everyone.

LAST SATURDAY it was great seeing the community coming together with the Cabarita Boardriders to raise awareness of a great cause with “Surf for Sanity” held at South Cabarita Beach. The event was a tag team event using pre-1985 single fin surfboards, all to raise awareness of mental health issues, and making sure everyone talks to their mates, and being aware of the signs that someone is not OK. It was great seeing local businesses all becoming involved financially supporting the event sponsoring teams, and all the people who were involved putting the event on, plus the whole community who supported the event on the beach and at the presentation on Saturday night.

The action on the beach was so entertaining right fro the early rounds.

Crowd favourites were the “Salty Girls”, the ladies from the surf school had a great team of girls including 2005 World Champion, Chelsea Georgeson, former World Tour surfer, Kate Skarrat, and up and coming ripper Lilliana Bowery, they took a few scalps in the first round, missed out on the final, but will be back bigger and better next year!

It came down to the final in fun waves in the final, the whole beach was psyched for the action, and in the end it was won by Excel Fitness led by Kingscliff surfer Mitch James, 2nd was the young guns from Insight Sign Co with Micah Margieson and Blake Nekka and their team of young up and coming rippers. Matt Hurworth Surfboards placed 3rd with Matt Hurworth, Brendan Margieson, and Simon Taylor flying the flag, SJ Reynolds Construction 4th, Surfboard Empire 5th, and LS Properties with Cabarita Boardriders President Brent Savage in 6th.

Surf for Sanity will be back again next year, bigger and better. A great message, good cause, and a fun event fully supported by the local community

and businesses. Congratulations to the Cabarita Boardriders for putting this event on.

Stephanie Gilmore Triumphs at Maui It was a 4th World Title win for Carissa Moore, but 7 times World Champion, Stephanie Gilmore, got some of her own back by winning the Maui Pro at Honolua Bay, the last event of the WSL season. Extra special for Gilmore was the fact she took out both of the World Title contenders, Carolyn Marks, and the eventual World Champion Carissa Moore on the way to the final. In doing so she handed the World Title to Moore, just like she handed over the World Title trophy later in the day.

“I found myself sitting there in good positions in the lead next to these girls and it just brought back these thrilling feelings and memories of being in World Title races,” said Gilmore.

“There is so much on the line and I think I just kicked into a new gear.

Amazing event and year for everybody.

And, of course, it is so good to have Tyler back. I could not have thought of a better person to share the Final with. She is surfing better than ever so I cannot wait to see her next year and sure you will be as dangerous as ever.”

It was one of the big stories of the event, the comeback by Tyler Wright.

Wright, if anything she is surfing better than when she won her two World Titles, and she took out another World Title contender Lakey Peterson on the way to her appearance in the final. After a 17 month absence, this event was part of Wright’s recovery, wow what a comeback, but just did not have the waves to take out Gilmore in the final.

Single Fin Entries Out Now! The Burleigh Boardriders Single Fin Classic entries have opened to the public, and will disappear fast, as it is one of the favourite events of the year. Competitors surf on antique pre 1985 single fin surfboards, at the iconic

location of the world famous Burleigh Point, and among the red hot field of local heroes will be some stars surfing including 2012 World Champion, Joel Parkinson, winner in 2017 & 2019, and looking for a third title. But like everyone else on Burleigh Point it is all about the fun.

“This is the one contest I really enjoy nowadays, “ said Parkinson on the event, “But what makes it so special is the local community enjoying the weekend on Burleigh Point with lots of laughs and good times!”

There is some serious competition with surfers from all over the country coming compete in the Single Fin Classic, and even some competitors making their way from Indonesia to get into the action at Burleigh Point.

Many world champions have surfed in the event, and along with Joel Parkinson, 1999 World Champion Mark Occhilupo will be putting on the contest singlet over the two days. Past Champions and rippers like Creed McTagget will be in the mix, and there is also a Women’s and Junior Divisions, big wave charger Felicty Palmateer, and up and coming Junior surfers like Pascha Luc-Light and Liliana Bowery will be the ones to watch. For the juniors, some of the gloms competing will be surfing boards 3 times their age.

Burleigh Boardriders own Queensland Champions Rico Haybittle and Chez Bos will be out to win at their local break, fresh from the Australian Junior Titles in Western Australia.Entries to the event fill fast, and can be found via the Surfing Queensland website. https://www.surfingaustralia.com/ SurfingQueensland/event/23rdannual-single-fin-festival-presentedby-billabong The Burleigh Boardriders Single Fin Festival Charity Luncheon will be held at Club Burleigh on Friday 10th of January, with Queensland origin legend Trevor “The Axe” Gilmister confirmed as a guest speaker.

Cabarita goes bonkers for sanity

By Jo Kennett THE INAUGURAL Cabarita Boardriders Surf for Sanity tag team event, held at Cabarita back beach on Saturday, December 2, has been a massive success.

“The turnout is amazing,” Cabarita Boardriders’ Angela Mellows told The Weekly.

“There are 24 teams, all full, and we could have had another 20, there were so many people that said they wanted to be a part of it.

“It’s really awesome to be here at the first Cabarita boardriders Surf for Sanity comp for our club and for mental health awareness which is so, so important in our community.

“Let’s hope it’s the first of many for years to come.”

For organiser Steve Ashburn there was a strong personal motivation to get the message out there that help is available for people struggling with depression.

“I lost my Dad to suicide,” Steve said.

“He tried to get help three times but there was no help back in the day for people that were down.

“When I was a grommet the Cabarita Boardriders helped me out and took me away to comps when the chips were down

so this is something we can give back to the community.

“This is something that people can get together and have a good day and talk about it and make good things happen.

“The Mental Health First Aid courses that the Charity Cup boys are doing are a big part of it; there wasn’t anything else like that back in the day.

“There have been a lot of suicides in Cabarita so events like the Charity Cup and the Surf for Sanity are really bringing the community together so it’s awesome.

Former pro surfer Kate Scarrett was on the Salty Girls Surf School team which included former world champ Chelsea Georgeson and the girls did a great job in the small north swell to make it through to the semi-finals.

“It’s been fantastic to have all the community come together for such a great cause.

“It’s so fun for everyone “It’s fantastic to have Surf for Sanity organising this event and so much fun for everyone to get together and share stories and connect.

“The ocean is our place to all connect and it brings us all together.

“It’s been a fantastic day.”

Cabarita Boardriders President and event organiser Brent Savage said that the forecast looked terrible “but we had put so much preparation into it and the waves have actually been quite fun”.

“It was something I thought about last year and we managed to pull it all together in two months,” he said.

“Heaps of local businesses have got behind it and sponsored the teams and provided great prizes.

“50 per cent of the proceeds will go to the club as our major fundraiser because we haven’t had one since Chipper Wilsons Big Bang contest.

“A lot of people in the club and in the area have been affected by mental health so it was something we wanted to help create awareness about.

“At the end of the day we are going to use the money to help develop small community groups that people can reach out to, one being the boardriders club.

“50 per cent of the money will go into Mental Health First Aid courses.”

“The day has been amazing. I took a minute to look around this morning and the beach was packed. It’s been a really good atmosphere all day.”

Pottsville firing in the LJ Hooker League, Hall gets his century

By Jo Kennett IT WAS day two of Round 4 in the TwoDay LJ Hooker League on Saturday, November 30, with Pottsville taking the win while Cudgen and Murwillumbah went down.

Pottsville resumed play against Lismore at Lismore with a solid start, having declared at 5/328 last week with Lismore closing at 3/32.

The Workers didn’t get off to a great start.

It wasn’t until their number seven batsman that they got out of the single figures but despite a couple of good tallies the Pottsville bowlers once again proved deadly, with Ryan McCloy and Mika Ekstrom both taking 3/44, and Sabah Syed and Tait Burns getting a couple each as well to see Lismore all out for 188 at the end of ten overs.

Lismore went in for a second shot, closing the day at 0/33 to give our boys an easy win.

Cudgen finished last week at 5/102 with Marist Brothers Lismore all out for 177 at Cudgen.

Pat Rosser resumed batting on 49 and easily made his half ton, top scoring for the Hornets on 69. The next best was Dylan Stoddart on 24 as Marist Brothers exacted revenge on the Hornets bowling spree last week with Cudgen all out for 146.

The Lismore lads went in for another bash, finishing with 104 with only one wicket down courtesy of skipper Caleb Ziebell to give Marist Brothers the win.

The loss didn’t stop the boys dancing into the night with some Tic Toc action back at the Cudgen Leagues Club after the game.

Check it out on the club website - those boys sure got the moves!

Social Bowls: Tuesday 26h November 2019 Green 4: John Asser, George Martin, Bill Penney, Russell Luland.

Murwillumbah played Alstonville at home having made 192 on day one thanks largely to a terrific maiden century from an injured Jackson Agius, with Alstonville resuming batting at 1/53.

Despite some great bowling by Declan Brooks (4/74) and help from Sid Ewing (2/65) and Kylie Leighton (2/37), the visitors romped away, declaring at 9/252.

The Panthers went back in for a second serve, but came away wishing they hadn’t, with nine the top score and the hometown boys all out for 31 thanks to some ruthless bowling from the visitors, with Murphy taking 5/21, Robb 3/6 and Wright 2/4.

Just remember it’s all about contrast boys; it makes the wins that much sweeter when they come.

It wasn’t until the third batsman that Terranora started to get some runs on the board and then Peter Hall went to town, scoring a hefty 135, well supported by Matt Sutton to put the hosts in the lead at 5/271 Indoor Green: Lois Hodgdon, Connie Legget, Ann Feast, Marj Crane.
