SOUTHERN CROSS CREDIT UNION OPENS THEIR NEW LOOK SERVICE CENTRE IN TWEED CITY NEAR THE FR ONT ENTRANCE

Following a successful period of growth and expansion and the opening of its Corporate Service Centre in Kingscliff, Southern Cross Credit Union has opened the first of their new Financial Service Centres in Tweed City. The opening continues their strategic investment in service channels to meet the changing needs of customers and the community.

The project team at SCCU, led by CEO Stuart Edwards, were guided by their belief in building and maintaining meaningful relationships with their customers.

“At a time when many financial institutions are working on delivering new branch concepts and digitising the in branch customer experience, we’re making a deliberate shift away from this to put one thing first – people.”

“Our new Financial Service Centre is not high tech, you won’t see huge digital screens. It’s also not a billboard, so you won’t see posters or a stands full of flyers. What you will see is a place where people and conversations are at the heart of the customer experience, because we believe the future of banking is in people and relationships.”

The team at the Financial Service Centre includes high performance specialists with a deep understanding of all of SCCU’s financial products. These specialists are able to service the entire banking needs of customers without needing to refer them elsewhere in the organisation.

“Key objectives of the design included drawing customers and the community into the Service Centre by creating an environment where they feel comfortable and an aesthetic that reflects the beauty and diversity of the Northern Rivers region. We set out to create an environment that doesn’t just reflect the community, but becomes part of the community.”

“A focus on self-service, digital banking has alienated customers. We want people coming into our Financial Service Centre to feel at home and comfortable to discuss their financial situation with us.”

Key features of Southern Cross Credit Union’s Financial Service Centre include: • Dedicated specialists for personal banking and lending – highly skilled, trained team to service banking needs end to end

What you will see is a place where people and conversations are at the heart of the customer experience, because we believe the future of banking is in people and relationships.

• iPad Roundtable – internet access for internet banking, searching for property and accessing financial resources • Meeting rooms – for private financial conversations • Free Cash Withdrawals – customers can choose to make cash withdrawals over the counter or via the ATM free of charge • Coin machine – quick and easy coin deposit offered free for our customers • Customer lounge – including shopfront bench seating and free Wi-Fi • Shared customer experience – sharing the banking experience together rather than through screens or over a counter

In creating the Financial Service Centre, Southern Cross Credit Union wanted to design a space unlike any other financial service provider. To achieve this they utilised the services of VIOTO Architects to help bring their vision to reality.

“We are excited about the future and the transformation of our network. We look forward to continuing to provide our customers with market leading, five star service and products through investment in our physical, digital and mobile platforms.”

76365

“We consider this a key competitive advantage in today’s environment, and is the kind of personalised service consumers are demanding”, explains Mr Edwards.

Mr Edwards said the Financial Service Centre design and philosophy will be progressively rolled out at other locations and is flexible to meet needs at both street facing and shopping centre locations.

Lovable Ralph found after lightning storm

especially the community of Cabarita, Murwillumbah and Pottsville.

“Amazing people who I don’t know were out looking for him and especially amazing was the young woman who picked up a stray collarless dog on the motorway,” she said.

Murwillumbah received about 15mm of rain following Sunday’s storm, however the Bureau of Meteorology issued a weather warning for the Tweed Valley with heavy rain forecast that did hit Ballina.

This weekend is forecast for thunderstorms with moderate showers with continued hot day and cooler nights.

SEVERAL TWEED residents reported their dogs missing this week with several believed to have run away during a thunder storm that struck on Sunday, January 15.

Farrants Hill resident Kirsten Ealand contacted The Weekly on Tuesday (January 17) and said her much-loved dog Ralph, a six-year-old wolfhound x poodle (pictured), was missing since the storm hit on Sunday morning.

“There were two very loud cracks of thunder very close together at about 5.30am and when we went out we couldn’t see him but we assumed he must be under the house where he often would go in a storm,” she said.

“After we got up we called and looked for him but he was nowhere to be found.”

Mrs Ealand said the family adopted Ralph almost six years ago, after visiting friends who were animal foster carers.

“He had been rescued from being put down at the pound,” Mrs Ealand said.

“He had been advertised in the paper numerous times but nobody had wanted him and it was the longest time they had had a foster dog.

“He was in poor condition about 1.5 years old, but we fell in love with his very gentle nature.

“He was quite wary at first and we couldn’t get the broom or rake out for at least a year without him running off under the house so he had probably been badly treated as a pup.”

Ralph was thankfully found on Tuesday by Gold Coast Pounds.

“I am super happy to tell you that Ralph is found,” Mrs Ealand said in an email to The Weekly.

“Gold Coast pound rang not long after I sent you through the email and we are just back from picking him up.

“He was picked up on the highway at Kingscliff (at least 9 kms from home) on Sunday and taken to a Qld weekend vet who got him to the Qld pound yesterday.

“They rang us today. He is home and well and we are all very happy.”

Mrs Ealand said the community support had been amazing,

Business Tax Advisers

Greenback Competition cancelled after 35 years ONE OF Cabarita’s iconic events The Greenback Tailor Fishing Competition has been cancelled this year due to a lack of organisation.

But locals and keen angles are likely to see the Greenback return in 2018 bigger and better than ever.

Lions Club of Cabarita Beach and Pottsville Beach president Peter O’Donnell told The Weekly that it was with great regret that he cancelled the Greenback.

“It is with regret that we wish to advise that the Greenback Competition will not be held in 2017, owing to unforeseen circumstances,” he said.

Mr O’Donnell said he wanted to thank local businesses who have put their support behind the event including through donations, volunteering and offering support.

“It’s been a difficult decision to make, but there’s simply not enough of a committee to organise the event for this year,”

Mr O’Donnell said.

“But don’t worry the Greenback will be back again in 2018 and we look forward to your continued support for this popular community event.”

Mr O’Donnell added that the Greenback could become a two-yearly event.

“It could be the case that we run the Greenback every two years and make it a big event for everyone,” he said.

In the meantime, Mr O’Donnell said the Lions Club was still seeking support and volunteers for 2018.

“It would be great to hear from anyone who can support this event in 2018,” he said.

This year will be the first year since 1981 that the Greenback Tailor Fishing Competition will not run.

To find out more about the Greenback phone the Lions Club of Cabarita Beach and Pottsville Beach on 0400 042 192.

no return route north.

Start by getting out of your box and look south to a growing airport at Ballina, get the light rail back to bring the people to the Tweed, look at the tourist dollar and employment it could bring along the North Coast. Wake up Tweed Shire and our MPs, our new Greens rep may help as they promised to get the rail back in their election notices.

Don’t be negative by saying it will never happen. I think positive and make it happen, vote for the people who will make it happen, people power look what happened at Orange.

Thanks for supporting Santaland

Back on the water mining

On behalf of the Murwillumbah & District Business Chamber, I would like to thank everyone who supported Santaland at the Salvo’s Store in Murwillumbah in December.

Santaland is a community service event fully funded by the Business Chamber where both children and adults can have their photo taken with Santa. The photos are very reasonably priced and are taken by a professional photographer. The philosophy behind Santaland is to provide a happy experience in the local area to try to encourage families to stay in Murwillumbah to do their Christmas shopping and in doing so, support the local businesses.

This year we had a huge amount of positive feedback from the community. People were very happy to see Santaland set up in a Charity Shop as it reinforced the ‘giving’ side of Christmas. Our photographer, Kathy Booth, was praised for her high quality photos and her ability to get a smile out of even the most reluctant children.

Santa really set the scene for a warm and friendly experience.

Every customer who entered the Salvo’s was greeted with a ‘Merry Christmas’ and other kind words.

Children who previously were scared of Santa were happy to give our Santa a high 5 and a list of what they wanted for Christmas.

All in all Santaland was very well received by the community. Please keep us in mind next year for all your Christmas photo needs. We will be back at the Salvo’s early December. Look out for the advertising in November.

Great to be back but where’s the so called progress

I have returned to the area after many years overseas and in a lot of cases nothing has changed.

The roads are just as they were in the horse and buggy days except there is so much more traffic on them.

There are heaps of cyclists and to cater for them the roads should be extended by a metre and a half on both sides.

Before I left they were talking about a bridge across to Dry Dock Road. This seems ever more important now as the banked-up traffic is going to at least double in Kennedy Drive in the near future.

In discussion with my friends we have never seen a road rebuilt in the fashion this one was. Filling in the potholes and spraying over

Cafe Trading Hours

them is surely a band aid solution.

While on the council there seems to be more time spent on koalas, I always thought people and their problems were paramount and Men’s Sheds are big all-round the world now.

I’m told we have a new bagman, somebody should tell him about the last one.

Peter Twohill, Tweed Heads

A letter to Councillor Ron Cooper on consultation

I note that you are campaigning to reform the Council’s consultation procedures and that you believe “round-table consensus decision making is the way to go”. Good luck with that.

Many issues within the Council is involved with required statutory consultation notices to be placed in the local press inviting public comments thereon.

A case in point; The Council recently advertised the proposed granting of a Licence for the site of the Pottsville and District Men’s Shed at the Black Rocks Sports Field.

The closing date for the receipt of comments being the 25th of October 2016.

A late report was submitted to the Council Meeting on the 27th of October 2016 which, in summary, stated that the Council had received 409 responses from the public, of which, 234 were in favour of the granting of the Licence and 175 against.

Subsequent analysis shows that 175 of responses in favour were from Pottsville residents whereas only 25 of the responses against were from Pottsville residents.

The Mayor refused to allow consideration of the report on the grounds that she had not had time to consider the submissions in detail; notwithstanding that other Councillors present were quite happy to deal with the matter on the basis of the results of the public consultation exercise.

The real reason why the Mayor took this action was because she knew that, had the report had been considered, the Council would have re-affirmed its previous decision to grant the Licence.

Her secondary motive was to defer the matter until after the elections on the 29th of October 2016 in the hope that the complexion of the Council would change in her favour.

Obviously, these events preceded your election to the Council and so I will move on to the proceedings of the first Ordinary Meeting of the new Council on the 17th of November 2016.

When the report regarding the granting of the Licence for the Shed site was considered, the results of the statutory public consultation exercise were completely ignored, as was the Officer advice that there were no other suitable sites currently available.

Could you please explain: 1. Why you believe that the Black Rocks Sports Field, which is designated for Community use, is not a suitable site for the Men’s Shed; 2. How your actions in this matter are consistent with your status as an “Independent” and your campaign to reform the Council’s consultative procedures when, virtually your first act as a Councillor, was to stop a project which has overwhelming public support in Pottsville by completely ignoring the results of a statutory public consultation exercise; and 3. Bearing in mind your “round table theory”, why you did not accept the invitations to attend the General Meetings of the Pottsville & District Men’s Shed held on the 10th of November and the 8th of December 2016.

John Wells, Secretary of Pottsville and District Men’s Shed

Men’s Shed has options, koalas don’t

Chas Armstrong (TVW 12/1/2017), please allow me to enlighten you with some documented truth so you can get your facts right.

The Department of Primary Industries does not contact community groups if Crown Land sites are available. It is up to the group to make written application to Crown Lands, which to date has not been done by the Pottsville and District Men’s Shed. So how can you know that ‘there are no other options for a permanent shed’?

There are currently two identified permanent Crown Land sites for which P&DMS can apply: Lot 3 Centennial Drive, Pottsville and Barry Sheppard sports field.

The Lot 3 site was P&DMS and Council’s preferred option in 2014 and will soon be available for consideration. At the 11/12/2014 Council meeting Barry Sheppard was identified as having the same approval pathway as Black Rocks.

Instead of progressing advice from Council’s General Manager to apply for the Lot 3 site, in August 2016 P&DMS has shut down discussion about sites other than Black Rocks at their meetings and have refused to allow members to form a sub-committee to progress a permanent site.

by P&DMS to investigate and apply for permanent sites, Mayor Milne, Deputy Mayor Cherry, Councillors Byrnes and Cooper voted for State MP Geoff Provest to provide a report on Crown Land sites, which may reveal that there are further options.

There is no justification for P&DMS to go to Black Rocks based on lack of safety at their current temporary site at the Pottsville Primary School. They have been safely operating there for two years with no incidents of serious injury.

So what is driving P&DMS to an isolated, anti-social, koalasensitive location at the extreme southern end of the urban footprint? Is P&DMS being used to stop revegetation of the Black Rocks sports field, against the recommendations of four ecologists including Dr Steve Phillips, the koala expert engaged

by Council to direct their koala study in 2011? This study revealed that Tweed Coast koalas are heading for extinction.

Our green-minded Councillors are to be commended for pursuing a solution where men shedders, koalas and the community are all winners.

Dave Norris, President of the Threatened Species Conservation Society Inc, Pottsville

Thanks for raising cultural sensitivity issue

Thank you for raising the issue of respect for the wishes of the Bundgalung Elders with regard to the climbing of Wollumbin/ Mt Warning.

I have moved recently to Murwillumbah where I can see the great mountain from my house.

I am a bushwalker but I do not intend to climb the mountain unless I am given permission to do so by the Bundgalung people.

It must be so hard to have your sacred place climbed over by thousands. Also, considering the lack of respect Australian Indigenous people have already suffered since white settlement it seems a such small request and the least I can do is abide by it.

I think the Elders’ wishes need to be more prominently displayed at the start of the walk - not at the end of an information sign.

Lots of people don’t seem to even know the elders do not want them to climb. At Uluru/AyersRock apparently there are now far fewer climbers and there are t-shirts for sale that say ‘I didn’t climb Ayers Rock.’ I am hoping for a similar change here.

Let’s work together to advance Tweed’s future

I see that Jack Hallam of Rowlands Creek has re-submitted a Development Application to commercially extract our water to enable the likes of Coca Cola to bottle up in plastic, make massive profits at the cost of the environment which is well documented.

Tweed Shire Council has already endorsed this industry in other areas like Dungay and a proposal for Urliup.

Massive water tankers driving continually along quiet country roads, possible water shortages, more and more non-biodegradable plastic bottles and the shocking list goes on.

I for one am sick and tired of having to fight all levels of government to carry out their responsibilities to protect the environment and to do what is right for all people.

It is time for our Council to put a permanent stop to this commercially criminal attack on our precious resource.

Andrew Bennett, Murwillumbah

Local News 5

Water mining debate - when is enough enough WATER MINING across the Tweed Shire is set to become the new “coalseam gas” issue of 2017 with several unanswered questions and a fight brewing among locals who fear some bores are “taking too much”.

The concerns follow several applications to NSW Water and Tweed Shire Council to establish commercial water extraction operations on the Tweed Shire aquifer and groundwater sources.

Among those wanting to extract water is a former State Agriculture Minister Jack Hallam who wants to extract 24 megaliters (24-million litres) of water per year from a licensed bore on his Uki property for bottling in a commercial deal.

In a bizarre twist however, Mr Hallam withdrew his application last year only to resubmit it days later and just prior to Christmas.

A decision is yet to be made on Mr Hallam’s application, although the application has ignited a fire in the belly of many Uki and surrounding residents who believe questions need to be answered around water extraction quantities.

The Combined Tweed Rural Industries Association president Colin Brooks recently wrote the The Weekly and said he wanted to make comment on the recent water mining issue.

“Water mining is becoming a serious threat to the Tweed Valley,” he wrote.

“Water, that is extracted from bores and springs, is not an infinite supply of this precious commodity that can be extracted in ever increasing quantities without having a serious detrimental effect on the whole of the Tweed Valley.

“This water falls initially as rain, and takes many years to percolate through the earth’s crust to the various aquifers that exist under the surface.

“Anecdotal evidence indicates that many

of our streams are running dry or flowing in a very decreased capacity much sooner than they have in years gone by.

“These streams rely upon this underground water for their very existence, and what we are now seeing in this shire is ever increasing applications to extract large quantities of water to the detriment of the environment and viable agriculture, for the financial gain of a few.”

Mr Brooks said it was time to call “enough is enough” until more research and water monitoring can take place.

“Under no circumstances should there be any more extraction approvals or increases in present licences until there has been a comprehensive, independent study done to ascertain what quantity of underground water the Tweed has, and what is the limit of extraction that can occur, without having a detrimental impact on our valley.

“I believe that limit has already been exceeded.”

The Weekly followed up on these and other questions concerning Tweed locals in relation to water mining with NSW Water.

The Tweed Shire, which is known as the North Coast Volcanics Groundwater Source, has a water extraction limit of 2,505 megalitres under aquifer licences.

However, it should be noted that there is also some crossover with New England’s aquifer where there is a further allocation but NSW Water was unable to reveal this figure prior to print.

The Weekly can also reveal that most water bores accessing the aquifer are not fitted with water meters to minitor the amounts being extracted or time frames.

The water meters are only recommended to owners and therefore NSW Water must assume each water bore is working within its limits. A spokesperson for NSW Water said that although NSW Water do investigate water bores for excessive extraction, there’s

currently no “mandatory requirement to fit meters”.

“It would be difficult to say how much water specifically is being taken from the groundwater as a total,” the NSW Water spokesperson said.

“There is currently a push for water bores to be fitted with meters to monitor the amounts taken, however this is not a requirement currently.”

It should be noted that Council can regulate water bores through the number of trucks travelling in and out of a property, however it’s up to the water bore owner and operator to ensure they do not exceed their limits. The NSW Water spokesperson said while the onus was on water bore owners to keep track of their extraction amounts, inspection officers have a range of methods to determine if the owner is exceeding their limit.

“We check a range of options including electricity, crop growth rates, mapping and other methods,” the spokesperson said.

While most water bore owners would stick to their limits or remain under each year, it does beg the question: “would anyone know if you took more water than you were allowed?”

The NSW Water spokesperson questioned that even if water meters were mandatory, who would check them?

Finally, a public meeting to discuss water extraction will take place at Uki Hall at 7pm on tonight (Thursday) January 19.

The social media post reads: “We need the community to support our call for some serious science to determine what are the likely effects of drawing down underground water sources. This is taking a public resource for private gain and needs to be reviewed on environmental and ethical grounds.”

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe mandatory water meters should be fitted to new and old bores? Or have you got a good idea to monitor water sources? Send your thoughts and letters to editor@theweekly.net. au

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Give Dragon Boats a paddle this year Beware of housing black market rent-tobuy schemes It’s hard to save up money for a deposit on a home in today’s high priced property market, so when someone comes along offering a deal that seems too good to be true, it’s tempting to have a look.

However, lawyer Tony Mitchell of Stacks Law Firm warns that many people are being caught up in what are called “black market housing schemes” and losing their life savings to unscrupulous operators.

“The operators of these schemes promise a new way to own your home without a bank loan,” Mr Mitchell said.

“There are several versions of the schemes, but they are all aimed at vulnerable people who feel they have been locked out of the Australian dream of owning their own home because they can’t raise the deposit or banks won’t lend to them,” Mr Mitchell said.

In rent-to-buy schemes, a buyer agrees to an inflated property price and then pays market rent – or more – with an “option fee” to buy the property in several years’ time when they are supposed to be able to get a mainstream mortgage. The option fees are supposed to be credited to the final purchase.

“People sign up but find they still can’t get a mainstream mortgage to refinance, and the property hasn’t risen in value to the inflated sale price set by the operator of the scheme.

“They still don’t own the property despite all the money they have paid, and they find there is little they can do to get out of it. Miss one payment and they can lose the home and everything they paid towards it.”

Mr Mitchell said because of the confused legal situation of the deals, protection under the law for the consumer can be difficult.

“Buying a home is usually the biggest investment a person makes in their lifetime and it is wise to get independent expert legal advice before entering into such a risky scheme, to ensure your interests are protected.”

The Consumer Action Law Centre investigated the schemes and in a recent report said the deals are high-cost and extremely risky, and many people were left worse off or financially ruined.

The Centre has called for such schemes to be banned, or at least for a change in the law so that all vendor finance buyers are protected under the National Credit Code, and buyers’ money is protected in the same way as home deposits.

IF YOU have ever had breast cancer, or if you have supported someone who has, then why not give Dragon Boating a try this year.

Dragons Abreast Mt Warning is a lively, active and sociable paddling club which operates, along with the sporting club Mt Warning Dragon Boat Club, from Condong three times a week: Saturday mornings and Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

Dragons Abreast Mt Warning coordinator Anne Bowden said paddling is a wonderful way to get fit, make new friends and to have fun.

“We have a place in the boat for everyone, whether you

are keen for competition or merely trying to improve your fitness levels,” she said.

“Men, women (and children over the age of 12) are all welcome.”

Mrs Bowden said the Tweed River provides a “magnificent setting for our regular training sessions, and local regattas showcase many more perfect Northern Rivers venues”.

“We hope to see you on Saturday, January 21, at 7.30am at the boat ramp near McLeod Street in Condong.”

Attendees are required wear casual clothes that can get wet, a hat and please bring water for hydration. Phone Anne Bowden on 0428 446 482 for more information.

Tweed’s new cop shop on track

THE CONSTRUCTION of the new Tweed Heads Police Station headquarters on Wharf Street is running on schedule, according to Member for Tweed Geoff Provest MP, with the facility expected to be open by September this year.

Works were kicked into overdrive late last year after asbestos laden materials were found in the soil at the former Wharf Street site that was formerly a carpark.

Although the asbestos, which required removal, set the project back about three months, Mr Provest said the construction schedule was now on track.

Crime fighting ideas sought for grants Meanwhile, Tweed residents with fresh ideas to address crime could be eligible for NSW Government grants under a scheme to boost local safety and pride.

Mr Provest MP urged community groups, Tweed Shire Council, businesses and organisations to apply for a grant of up to $250,000.

“The Community Safety Fund will invest in projects that address local crime hot spots and promotes safe and inclusive use of public space,” he said.

“I know many people in our community have innovative ideas of how to make our community a safer place and I encourage them to take up this funding opportunity.

“The NSW Liberals & Nationals Government is committed

HOT WATER & GAS HEATING SPECIALISTS

to reducing crime and making our state a safer place to live.”

Minister for Justice and Police Troy Grant said crime is a social and financial burden that the NSW Government is committed to reducing.

“We know there is always more that can be done to stamp out crime in our towns and suburbs and are working with the community to identify opportunities,” Mr Grant said.

“The reasons and consequences of crime in one region of NSW can be very different to other regions therefore it is important to invest in local solutions.”

Attorney General Gabrielle Upton said the $10 million program over four years has already helped make local crime reduction ideas a reality.

“The NSW Government is proud to partner with the community to prevent crime and address the fear of crime,” Ms Upton said.

“This program has funded in community initiatives right across the state to enhance the work of Government and law enforcement agencies to combat crime.”

The Community Safety Fund aims to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour through infrastructure and service delivery projects that address local crime hot spots, antisocial behaviour and promotes safe and inclusive use of public space and collaborative approaches to crime prevention and detection.

Solar Bonus Ends This Year!

Are You Ready Yet?

Are you one of the smart people in the Northern Rivers who are benefiting from the 60 cent per kWh export paid to them under the NSW Solar Bonus Scheme?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CRONULLA SHARKS captain Paul Gallen has made a touching tribute to the late Grant ‘Cookie’ Cook.

“On behalf of the Cronulla Sharks we send our deepest condolences to the Murwillumbah Mustangs and especially Colleen Cook on the loss of your husband Grant under tragic circumstances,” Gallen said.

Tweed Shire Council targeting ‘Tossers’ to stop littering TWEED SHIRE Shire Council has ramped up its anti-littering campaign to crack down on littering and encourage residents to register with the NSW EPA to report littering offences.

The community tells us that they don’t like littering or litterers. Research shows people are less likely to litter if they think someone is watching. The ‘Report to EPA’ service is part of a comprehensive NSW State Government anti-littering program and aims to deter people from littering from vehicles by increasing the likelihood of being seen, reported and fined.

Tracey Stinson, Tweed Shire Council’s Director of Community and Natural Resources said that the campaign sends a clear message that littering is unacceptable

and that litterers will be seen, reported and fined.

“Roadside litter is one of our region’s most unnecessary and preventable environmental problems. Reporting littering from vehicles helps to raise awareness, change behaviour, reduce clean-up costs and keep our community clean. By registering to report littering from vehicles, you are part of the solution to the issue of litter. Each year over 25,000 tonnes of litter is tossed in NSW. It costs council a considerable amount of money to clean up.

We want people to stop littering so we can use those funds for other services.”

The EPA can issue fines of $250 for an individual and $500 for a corporation for littering from a vehicle, based on reports from members of the public who are over 18.

HEY TOSSER! You know it’s wrong

In the past year, nearly 10,000 people across NSW registered with ‘Report to EPA’ to report littering from vehicles, over 12,000 reports of littering from a vehicle were made, and more than 8,000 fines were issued by the EPA. In the Northern Rivers region there are currently more than 216 people registered to report littering and 192 reports of littering from vehicles have been made. Council is a member of the North East Waste regional organisation, which is leading the anti-litter campaign throughout the Northern Rivers Council aims to significantly increase the number of registered reporters through this campaign by encouraging everyone to get on board by going to the NSW EPA website, www.epa.nsw.gov.au/reporttoepa, to register.

Litter fines from $250 apply.

Help Riding for the Disabled to build a roof RIDING FOR The Disabled is appealing for help to construct a sheltered area to allow year round riding, after extreme heat means the club has to close for three months.

Riding For The Disabled fundraising coordinator and volunteer Margaret Suanez has started a GoFundMe campaign with the title “Riding For The Disabled need a roof” with the goal of $100,000.

Mrs Suanez said she joined the volunteers at Riding for the Disabled - Tweed Valley back in 2013.

“The current property was donated by the Dunne family for a lease of $1 per year and has been operating since 2006 solely dependent on volunteers and sponsorship from the community,” she said.

Riding for the Disabled provides unique therapy and social interaction for people with disabilities and the joy and improvement it brings cannot be overstated.

“It is magical to watch the children develop, grow and laugh year after year,” Mrs Suanez said.

“But Tweed Valley is situated in a location where the temperatures reach 40 degrees C in summer and the centre must close for three months because of the severe heat.

“It also suffers torrential downpours on days where riding becomes impossible and the days must be cancelled.

“The disappointment is immense when these children look forward to and depend on their one riding day.”

Mrs Suanez said the club needs to achieve all year riding to give as many children the ability to ride as possible.

“To do this we need a roof to cover the arena,” she said.

“We guarantee you that every cent will be spent on erecting a roof so that volunteers and the children can continue to work together, to learn, to improve quality of life, to laugh and to share.

“Every dollar counts. It has been a dream for years to be able to achieve this - so we would be extremely grateful for every dollar.

“Every donation - no matter how big or small - will help change lives. If 100,000 people donated $1 we would be able to make this a reality.

“Of course if you wish to donate $100 or $1000 - we would be forever grateful.

“Please share with your friends and family.”

Free workshop to Survive the Ride

TWEED SHIRE Council invites all motorcyclists to ride the popular Numinbah Road to Chillingham next Sunday (19 February 2017) and attend a free Survive the Ride workshop run by former riding instructors and motorcycle highway patrol officers.

The two-hour theory workshop is designed to help riders improve their riding decisions and manage risk through the use of roadcraft, riding techniques and riding gear.

The workshop will cater to all rider levels and be held at the Chillingham Hall, with lunch provided.

Motorbikes make up just 4 per cent of vehicles registered in New South Wales yet, over the past five years in northern NSW, motorcyclists have accounted for 18 per cent of road fatalities. And, in the past 12 months, that statistic was 23 per cent.

Council is sponsoring the workshop as part of the Local Government Road Safety Program, which aims to reduce deaths and injuries from road trauma.

“Motorcycling is more popular than ever and this is sadly reflected in an increase in motorcycle fatalities in our region,” said Council Road Safety Officer Alana Brooks.

The workshop, from 12 noon to 2pm, is being run by Survive the Ride Association of NSW (STRA) Riders.

“Riders are encouraged to take responsibility for their own safety – it doesn’t hurt any less when it’s not your fault,” said Survive the Ride Association’s David Tynan.

Riders are encouraged to book a place at the workshop by phoning (02) 6670 2400 to assist with catering.

Fragile and precious birds need space THE TWEED’S precious and endangered coastal birds are at risk of disappearing unless humans can give them the best fighting chance according to Tweed Shire Council.

Some people may not know that Tweed’s coastline is home some of Australia’s most rare coastal birds and other species that play a crucial role in the coast’s lifecycle.

However, these precious species, including some critically endangered varieties, are coming under increasing threat from human activity along the Tweed Coast, particularly during the summer months.

The greatest threat to Australia’s beach-nesting birds is disturbance from people visiting the beach during summer holidays and spring.

Tweed Shire Council is leading a push to help give our fragile beach nesting birds some space to ensure the birds can recover.

“Many of the birds you see at the beach and around the estuary at this time of year have migrated a long way to get here, often thousands of kilometres, and they need a helping hand from the people they share the beach with,” Council Project Leader Pam Gray said.

“Each year, more than a million shorebirds migrate to and from Australia, some migrate 25,000km annually - that’s like travelling from Australia to the Arctic Circle and back.

“By the time they get here they are exhausted. They need a chance to rest and feed and not be disturbed.”

Ms Grey said beach nesting birds who live in the Tweed and lay their eggs here were also looking a little weary at this time of year.

“But that’s mostly because of people and their bad behaviours, which are threatening the existence of these birds,” she said.

“The numbers of these birds are declining and it won’t be long before they’re extinct.

“There are three things people can do that will make a difference, just by being a thoughtful beach user.”

• Give the birds some space. If you see the nesting birds, move away quickly and stay at least 100m away. This gives them a much greater chance of hatching and raising their chicks. People using watercraft are asked to stay away from resting birds on the river and follow signs.

• Keep dogs on a leash. Unleashed dogs move unpredictably and frighten the birds. It can cause them to use valuable energy flying away and leave their chicks vulnerable to heat stress and death.

• Keep near the water’s edge when jogging, walking, or cycling along the beach. Beach-nesting birds nest on the dunes and soft sand. (Images are a sample of local birds)

Heart of gold: Iain Finlay named Tweed Ambassador 10 Aussie things to do

WORKING AS hard as he did as a journalist for five decades, Tumbulgum resident Iain Finlay has thrown his passion behind humanitarian and education initiatives at home and in South East Asia pulling many youngsters back from the brink of poverty.

For his unwavering efforts, Mr Finlay has been named the Tweed Shire’s Australia Day Ambassador for 2017 – taking over from the 2016 recipient Composer George Ellis.

Known for his remarkable contribution to Australia media, Mr Finlay and his wife Trish Clark have been central to humanitarian and education initiatives in Asia including building a primary school in a rural village in Laos with funds partly raised in the Tweed.

“Anyone who has travelled in Asia, Africa and South America and has seen poverty and the lack of opportunity there realises we have so much going for us in this country, and Australia Day is a chance to reflect on that,” Mr Finlay said.

“Donald Horne’s description of Australia as ‘the lucky country’ could not be more apt; for the most part we are truly amongst the most fortunate people in the world.

However, for those Australians at the bottom of the barrel, in particular many in our own Indigenous communities, the phrase still rings very hollow.

“Those of us who have a roof over our heads, a job and a bit of affluence and security, have an obligation to at least think about and perhaps do something for those people in our own country, and elsewhere, who are not as lucky as we are.”

Mr Finlay will deliver the Australia Day address on Thursday, January 26, at the Tweed Shire event to be held at Twin Towns in Tweed Heads.

The Tweed Shire will also welcome 50 new citizens from 16 different countries.

The Tweed Shire Australia Day awards including Citizen of the Year and Volunteer of the Year will also be announced.

Australia Day events will also be held at Tyalgum, Crabbes Creek, Tumbulgum, Burringbar, Kingscliff, Cabarita and Pottsville.

Official proceedings at Twin Towns start at 11am for further information please visit: www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/ australiaday

1. Toss the Thong You will need chalk or some sort of marker. You can either go the dart board approach OR go for distance. warning- Thongs can cause injury!

2. Backyard Cricket You might need to improvise with your stumps and in past years we have resorted to a baseball (used like a cricket) but if you prepare just a little hopefully you will be blessed to own a cricket bat and ball on Australia Day. 3. Cockroach Races You could catch them yourself (always fun) and have prizes ridiculous prizes for the winners.

4. Water Fights/play I love this idea. It does need a pool, just a couple of water pistols or a bevy of water balloons. If you aren’t a water pistol type family then use the Australia Day weather to your advantage and pop the sprinkler on for some red rover fun.

5. Beach Frisbee and/or football The frisbee or football on an Australian Beach.. can we get any more Australian… probably not.

6. A Game of Two Up Ok.. its more Anzac Day but its still an iconic Australian game and perfect for when the kids have retired to watch blinky bill for the afternoon 7. Australia Day Quiz This can be fun for all ages. Buy some trashy $2 prizes and discuss your answers over some yummy slices of Australian watermelon 8. Egg and Spoon Races This is an under valued game at parties everywhere – its absolutely great entertainment to watch little kids race each other with an egg balance precariously on a teeny tiny spoon.

9. Bite the Arnotts Biscuit into Aussie Shape This is a fun one for the little kids to nibble their way through an arnotts milk arrowroot biccie until they think it resembles the Australian flag. The closest one wins!

10. Best Dressed Make your Australia Day Celebration into a fancy dress.

The person who made the least effort wins.. because being relaxed is what being an Australian in all about!

Sacred places such as Wollumbin / Mt Warning need respect SEVERAL TWEED residents have bowed into debate around the cultural sensitivity of climbing Wollumbin / Mt Warning including Doctor Helena Ellinor Widolf (PhD) of Murwillumbah.

“I was very happy to read The Weekly article addressing the matter of sensitivity towards the cultural traditions of Wollumbin,” Dr Widolf said.

“Far too often, individuals within Western cultures fail to observe and acknowledge the traditions of Indigenous cultures, which are an integral part of the natural world that surrounds us.

“Australian Indigenous cultures date back thousands of years, and if we Westerners are at all to consider ourselves cultured and civilized- then we must offer proper respect, recognition and sensitivity towards those who have lived here for thousands of years, and who are still living here.”

Dr Widolf said most Indigenous populations around the world have their own natural sciences, their own beliefs, their own traditions, their own heritage, their own lifestyles and their own perspectives on what is practical, in terms of preservation of the natural Earth.

“And these populations, with all of their own cultures, have something of value to contribute to our global efforts to protect the Earth,” she said.

“I was born in Sweden within an affluent family, given every opportunity to simply ignore the wants and needs of Indigenous cultures around the world.

“But fortunately, upon immigrating to Australia, I recognised that there are other cultures around the world in which the members maintain very different lifestyles to our own, but who nevertheless maintain very similar valuesystems to our own.

“Most human beings, regardless of which culture they belong to, maintain very similar values to each other - but those values are often expressed in very different ways.

“Thereby, we need to broaden our understanding and appreciation of other cultures, and be prepared to sacrifice some of our own desires to properly honour what is important for others, especially with regards to what is considered sacred to others.

“In the West, we build churches to worship. In the MiddleEast, they build synagogues and in the East, they build temples.

“And in many geographical regions around the world, ancient indigenous cultures honour certain geological formations, such as the mountain “Wollumbin” as being

places of worship and sacred practice.”

Dr Widolf said the Bundjalung Elders and their people, who have inhabited the Tweed Valley for thousands of years, have their own ways of appreciating the many natural wonders of this region.

“Their vision, their understanding and their explanations of our local environment, are just as plausible as our own, even though they may differ,” she said.

“And with regards to climbing Wollumbin, I would like to pose this question: have human beings become so desperate in their pursuit for enjoyment, that they must venture into regions considered sacred to others?

“How can any sober person enjoy walking across land, knowing that they are breaking the hearts of those who have worshipped that land for thousands of years?

“How can we ignore the requests of the traditional custodians of this ancient land, to not venture into those sacred places?

“Surely there are many other mountains that we can climb, if we are so intent on climbing mountains.”

Dr Widolf said globally we are witnessing an increase in materialism and carelessness about the sacredness of our Earth, and a decrease in qualities such as adherence to spiritual practices, prioritisation of ethical behaviour and dedication to the protection of all living beings, as being spiritual beings.

“The Earth herself is a conscious living being, who provides for all others who reside on her,” she said.

“She flourishes when she is treated with respect, care and dignity, and bitterly tolerates when she is abused, exploited, and treated without care. The Australian indigenous people, just like many other Indigenous people around the world, have for thousands of years acknowledged the sacredness of the Earth and treated her with respect and dignity.

“Sadly, modern Western cultures have brought ruin to the Earth within a very short time. We have much to learn from these ancient traditional cultures.

“I have lived in the Murwillumbah district for 30 years. I have never climbed Wollumbin and I never will. Nor will I ever climb Uluru or tread upon other places considered sacred to Indigenous people. I wish that others would also take care in this regard.”

Meanwhile, local Indigenous Elders are yet to comment on the sensitive issue of climbing Wollumbin / Mt Warning including the Tweed Byron Local Aboriginal Land Council with several unanswered calls and emails pending comment.

The Weekly has also attempted to contact several Bundjalung representatives only to be told “it’s a sensitive topic” with little or no comment to follow.

The questions relate to the cultural sensitivity of Wollumbin National Park, which attracts more than 100,000 climbers up the mountain per year despite signage and information highlighting the mountain as a sacred site.

The Weekly can also reveal several Indigenous Elders are reluctant to speak publicly on the Wollumbin topic for fear of being misrepresented by the media.

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe that climbing Wollumbin / Mt Warning is culturally insensitive? Do you know of any other sites to climb or visit? Send your thoughts and letters to editor@theweekly.net.au

recently.

“Very surprised! There were so many excellent films in competition,” she said.

“In a Cane Field was always going to be intensely visual - strong, repetitive imagery is woven into the story in many ways.

“My close collaborator Adric Watson (our cinematographer) and I spent a long time choosing the perfect locations for the film and were committed to shooting on 16mm film, despite the general industry migration to digital cameras.

“Our shoot was very difficult in so many ways - it was physically gruelling, especially for the camera crew - which makes winning an award like this even more validating.

“When we received the developed film back from the labs, we sat and watched the rushes all the way through for the first time.

“Film made everything look so breathtaking, all the imagery took on a life and warmth of it’s own. I’m so glad that Adric’s beautiful work has been recognised on a national level like this.”

Ms Avila said one of the highlights of filming In A Cane Field was working with Tweed Valley cane farmers.

“The film was financed by Screen Queensland with most of the shoot taking place in Brisbane, along the coast and in the Condong cane fields,” she said.

“We visited Condong every month for about a year to choose locations and check how the cane was looking.

“We shot the cane fires in the film documentary style with some of the local cane gangs letting us chase them around the fields for a weekend, definitely one of the highlights of the shoot.”

Ms Avila’s short films comes after several other production companies continue to eye the Tweed Valley for filming including I’m a Celebrity UK series and more.

“It is visually sublime,” she said.

“There are so many landscapes which feature in the film. It is also not instantly familiar, which helps audiences to believe in the story world of the film.

“And the locals that we worked with were all so accommodating, excited and relaxed about our crew invading the fields.

“Short films, with their small budgets, heavily rely on the generosity of the local community and we found a surplus of this in the Tweed.”

The film, In A Cane Field, will screen at Byron Bay Flickerfest on Saturday, January 28, from 4pm.

AN AMAZING short film featuring the Tweed Valley has won the best cinematography award at this year’s Flickerfest 26th International Short Film Festival.

The film, In A Cane Field, was written and directed Emily Avila and produced

by Emily Avila and Carolie Tapper with cinematography by Adric Watson.

Speaking with The Weekly, Ms Avila said for the past 18 months she’s been exploring the Tweed cane fields to research, scout and shoot the short film.

But it’s the story behind the script that’s also interesting with ties to big name director Francis Ford Coppola.

“In 2011, I read a short story ‘The Serrambi Case in Zoetrope All-Story’, which is a short fiction magazine run by Francis Ford Coppola,” she said.

“I was immediately captivated - this was a murder mystery unlike any I had encountered.

“It put loss and the powerlessness we feel in the face of death at the fore and wove a myriad of characters together to such intense effect.

“I knew I had to make it into a film. The story had been written by a Brazilian writer, Frances de Pontes Peebles.

“My husband is Brazilian and this might have contributed to why I felt a personal connection to the story. Anyway, I emailed the original author of the story to see if she would be open to me adapting it to film.

“She was, and we Skyped regularly while I wrote draft after draft of the script finally arriving at a shooting script fourteen versions later.”

Ms Avila said at its core, In a Cane Field, is the story of a mother’s irreconcilable and inexplicable loss.

“When I first read the short story, I was experiencing something similar - my mum had been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, a terminal illness which she passed away from four years ago,” she said.

“In a Cane Field became a vehicle for me to process my own grief. It was a very emotional production for me, but the process of opening myself up to the cast, crew and now the audiences who see the film has been a strange and wonderful comfort and helped me move forward in dealing with my own loss.”

Ms Avila said the award for best cinematography came as a huge surprize during the award ceremony in Bondi Beach

“In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day’s long.” Pope Paul VI

with Fran Rabbitts TED BRAMBLEBY is the founder of Seascape Marine Museum at Hastings Point and Adventure Education.

He has had a lifetime fascination with the ocean and is using this passion to educate the next generation about the importance of marine conservation.

Ted was born in Shanghai and as a teenager he worked on various ships sailing the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans.

As a boy he travelled overseas with his parents on ships and if beaches were close he went beachcombing, collecting shells and anything else the sea cast up.

He was curious about what was below the surface and learnt how to dive, discovering the beauty and diversity of the underwater world, something that was to influence his career and life.

He dived wherever he could and soon the underwater world became more than a hobby and he enrolled at university to gain qualifications as a Marine Biologist and educator.

His teaching career spanned for many years in Marine and Veterinarian Biology, Zoology and Ecology.

H lh

Adventure and education go together well at Hastings Point Marine Museum Ted first established the museum in 1972, his friend Kerrie Trees, knowledgeable with education requirements, assisted to ensure the content complied with high school curriculum.

The approach to education is multidimensional and uses a philosophy that true education happens through active participation in the environment and not limited to the classroom.

The content has been accepted enthusiastically by students to this day and remains a core model of the Marine Science and Biology Classroom Field Education for Education Queensland to the present.

Ted also wrote a manual which became a prototype and was adopted by over 80 schools.

The museum runs day visits and field trips for primary and high school students.

Students can explore the Rocky Shores, the Mangroves and Estuary, the Sand dune and Beach Zone, Wallum Heath and Temperate Forest of Hastings Point.

Snorkelling and Kayaking are part of all excursion activities and dive training can be arranged.

Ted has won several awards for his dedication to teaching and more than 80,000 students have visited the museum.

He says that today’s youth are disconnected from nature as they immerse themselves in

With all the festivities behind you, it is time to get your health back on track. Shedding some of those extra unwanted kilos is on top of the list of everyone’s New Year’s resolutions. Sadly, more often than not, New Years Resolutions fail, as many of the goals that are set are just unattainable. It is fine to have weight loss as a goal, but instead of following the latest diet fads, rather direct your focus on eating healthy. Make your weight loss goal achievable and break it down into a series of measurable steps giving yourself a set time to attain your results.

Ted also organises many diving trips here as well as overseas which are always popular.

He said that one of the most interesting objects in the museum is a glass sponge aged 10,000 years whose habitat is 3 kilometres below the surface.

The museum contains a shark embryo and many other unusual exhibits.

The museum is open to the Public every Saturday afternoon right throughout the year from 1.30-3.30pm.

Additional sessions are 1.30pm Tuesdays and 5.30pm Thursdays in the school holidays. Be at the museum by 1.30pm at the latest. A small entry fee applies per person or per family.

“I want to encourage the youth to have personal encounters with our environment and so become protectors and realise the significance of species loss,” he said.

“I want the young to respect nature and it’s wonders and through my lectures I hope to spark that interest through knowledge to the plethora of young minds hungry to engage that vitally critical, yet, missing factor overlooked in education - nature.

“I hope that through centres such as this appreciation and conservation will halt the current trend of complacency, we always welcome visitors.”

Many well known media personalities have visited the museum, among them Mark Horstman, Science Advisor for the ABC’s Catalyst Program, Joshua Milne, Associate Professor of Zoology at University of Western Australia and the late Neville Coleman. Ted said he considered Neville Coleman as one of the most prolific and dedicated underwater photographers and also as the writer and founder of the original underwater geographic journal.

Real Estate North Estate Agents Sue Charles is your Agent of the Week

I FIRST CAME to the far north coast of NSW in 1997 to a place called Woodenbong, where I lived and worked for 11 years.

Deciding it was time for a change I moved to what we called "the big smoke" Casino.

It was here that I had my first taste of owning my own business – a newsagency.

Although it was tough work in terms of long hours it was also extremely rewarding.

I had the most beautiful customers. It was they who bought a tear to my eye on my final day.

So, what to do next? Having owned my own homes and investment properties, a love for working with the public and having exceptional people skills, business knowledge and a hard work ethic the decision became obvious – real estate. And I love it.

As a consequence, I have met some of the most beautiful people on the planet, have been fortunate enough to view some outstanding properties and work with a very special team – I’m a lucky girl.

Here are are some testimonials from my clients: “Sue is a Star! We are very happy to recommend Sue for selling your home. Sue is a pleasure to deal with, honest, proactive and was interested in the successful sale of our home. We felt confident in the negotiation process and Sue made the whole process very easy. Very happy to recommend. Thanks Sue. -------------“Sue was great with the sale of our house.

Everything worked out wonderfully. I would definitely recommend her and the team at North Estate Agents.”

-------------“Sue Charles comes with my full recommendations for her skills in marketing as she was able to obtain our full asking price for the house.”

-------------"I approached Sue to sell my mother’s home because I already had dealings with her in regards to a possible purchase. She was great! She went to mum’s home and immediately put her at ease and took

control of all that needed to be done. She even washed the glass ware. What I liked about her most was her honest and warm approach and even though the house is sold she is still helping mum with the removalists etc. Mum and I both found the experience of selling with Sue quick and easy and we got a great price. I would highly recommend Sue to anyone who wants a low stress efficient and good priced sale."

One of the best sales I made recently was to a young family. They purchased a block of land at the beautiful Altitude Aspire Estate in Terranora.

What made it so special was seeing a young family with kids in tow taking pictures in front of the sign, the first step to achieving their dreams. They are the types of events that make selling real estate special.

The best tip I can give anyone who is thinking of selling their home is to invest in a good, honest and reliable agent. If you choose the right agent for you than the rest will be easy. To find out more about North Estate Agents and to contact Sue phone 0448 350 064 or (07) 5536 2200.

Tweed 2016 real estate report 2016 WAS a big year for Tweed real estate with sales and house prices soaring, The Weekly has compiled a list of the Tweed's biggest performers for 2016 and we look at what 2017 may hold.

The most expensive houses can be found on the Tweed Coast with Casuarina leading the way at a median house price of $916K and 12 per cent growth over the year. Units are more affordable at $432K although they did grow a staggering 44 per cent in one year.

Casuarina is followed by Kingscliff with a median price of $820K and 15 per cent growth in 2016. Units are slightly cheaper at $420K and have grown by 9 per cent in a year.

Neighbouring towns of Bogangar and Pottsville are more affordable with a median house price of $550K for Bogangar at 3.77 per cent growth and $549K with 8 per cent growth in Pottsville.

Units are priced at $382K in Bogangar at 11 per cent growth and $391K at Pottsville with 1 per cent growth.

There has been a growing trend towards unit purchases on the coast with all areas apart from Bogangar seeing the highest number of unit sales in the past four years. Kingscliff saw the highest number with 180 unit sales in the past year, followed by 87 at Pottsville and 69 at Casuarina.

Bogangar instead was popular for houses with the highest number of home sales in the past four years at 47, Kingscliff had 130, Pottsville, 136, Casuarina 46 and tightly held Fingal Head had only 12 sales at a median price of $765K. To the north houses at Tweed Heads and Banora Point have shown exceptional growth over the past 12 months. The median house price at Tweed Heads is $630K, an 18 per cent increase on last year. Tweed Heads South saw 14 per cent growth ($445K), Tweed Heads West 9 per cent ($523K) and Banora Point also 9 per cent ($523K). Bilambil Heights saw more modest growth at 3 per cent

to a median price of $465K and Terranora only grew 1 per cent to $657K. There were less house sales at Tweed Heads South (75), Tweed Heads West (83) and Terranora (54) whilst Banora Point (301) has had its highest number of house sales in the past four years and Bilambil Heights increased from 57 sales two years ago to 91 sales in the past year.

As on the coast there has been a steady increase in the number of units sold in the Tweed Heads/ Banora area. There was almost a unit sale a day at Tweed Heads (340) followed by Banora Point (205) Tweed Heads South (133) and Tweed Heads West (121).

Units saw more modest growth around Tweed Heads/Banora except for Tweed Heads which saw 17 per cent growth to $400K with a number of new apartments entering the market, Tweed Heads West had 5 per cent growth ($238K) and 4 per cent ($350K).

The valley also saw a trend towards increased sales with Murwillumbah having the second highest number of house sales in the Tweed at 165. South Murwillumbah had 33 sales, Uki 17, Tyalgum 14 and Stokers Siding 19.

Strong sales in Murwillumbah has seen the median price increase by 6 per cent to $385K in the past year. The best performers in the valley were South Murwillumbah with 15 per cent growth to $360K, Uki 16 per cent to $443K and Tyalgum 15 per cent to $400K. Stokers Siding saw only 1 per cent growth to $575K and Tumbulgum lost 10 per cent to $418K, representing a good time to buy in the riverside village.

The cheapest place to buy property in the Tweed is Murwillumbah units with the median price remaining below $200K ($195K) due to a loss of four per cent. For investors Murwillumbah units have the highest yield at 10 per cent - almost double most other areas. The second best rental yield is Tweed Heads West units (6.5 per

cent) followed by Tweed Heads South units (6.2 per cent), Tweed Heads West houses (5.7 per cent) and Bogangar units (5.2 per cent).

The best houses for rental yields are Tweed Heads West (5.7 per cent), South Murwillumbah (5.5 per cent), Murwillumbah (5.2 per cent), Tweed Heads South (5.1 per cent) and Bilambil Heights (5.1 per cent).

Nationally demand for property via online searches increased by 16 per cent according to the REA Group Property Demand Index (Jan. 2017) although demand did decrease by the end of the year falling by 6.6 per cent in December.

According to the report, "The key drivers of this demand decline are likely due to Australian banks increasing interest rates for buyers independently of the Reserve Bank of Australia in late November and early December and continuing affordability issues across the Eastern seaboard".

Figures from the REA group for the Tweed looking at the average number of visits per listing per month between March and August 2016 showed high demand in several areas.

Suburbs listed as having high demand included South Murwillumbah at number one with 878 visits per property, Urliup (740), Tomewin (694), Condong (637), Tumbulgum (592) and Upper Crystal Creek (523) whilst The New South Wales state average was 307 visits per property.

Many other suburbs including Murwillumbah were classed as having average demand at 153 visits per month.

The report reads, "In an environment of rising dwelling completions, there is limited scope for significant price rises through to 2018/19 nationally and potential exists for price declines in a number of markets.

"Overall, house prices are forecast to remain relatively flat over the three years to 2018/19."

This is good news for first-home buyers and low income families.

The report predicts that the cash rate will remain stable at 1.5 per cent and inflation will remain weak.

In other good news for owneroccupiers the number of investors has significantly decreased over the past few years from the peak of 51 per cent of all home buyers in 2014/15. Measures by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority to tighten lending for investors has resulted in a 7 per cent decrease to 44 per cent of home buyers being investors.

In contrast, owner occupier

demand has risen although the number of first-home buyers remains low. Non–first home buyers accounted for 43 per cent of total residential finance in 2015/16. Meanwhile, at 13 per cent in 2015/16, the share of residential finance to first home buyers remains below its long– term average of 15 per cent.

Over the past five years there have been progressive changes in first home buyer incentives across all states to favour purchasers of new homes over existing homes.

The long–term impact will be a shift of first home buyer demand that would have otherwise been for established homes into the new home market, thereby adding to supply.

New South Wales has had a 0.7 per cent reduction in new home buyers in the past year with a $10K cash grant and stamp duty concession to new homes only and no first-home buyer incentives for established homes.

Support our art wall at the Earth Learning Riverbank Breakfast A FUNDRAISER to continue the iconic Murwillumbah Riverbank Restoration and Open-air Gallery Art Mural will take place this Sunday, January 22, from 8.30am.

Residents and visitors are invited to the Breakfast by the Riverbank event at McIlrath Park, which is opposite the Murwillumbah Services Club next to the Tweed River Bridge on Commercial Road.

Catering is complements of New Leaf Cafe and Magic Mountain Health Foods.

Entrance is $15 per head which includes freshly prepared local food, live Celtic music on flute and guitar and a talk by local botanist Lui Weber about the Tweed’s unique plant life.

The mural, which depicts the history of flora and fauna across the Tweed spanning millions of years, is about 20 per cent complete and the extra funds on the day are hoped to help continue the mural.

The mural depicts humpback whales and green turtle swimming as they have done for millions of years past Cook

Island with the waves crashing onto the basalt rocks at Fingal.

So far several artists have contributed to the wall including local artist and Pharside Skate Shop (Queen Street) owner Tony Lawrence will also be there on Sunday demonstrating his amazing spray art.

Earth Learning coordinator Adrienne Weber said proceeds from the Riverbank Breakfast will go towards continuing the mural illustrating jabiru and magpie geese in local wetlands.

“It will show our unique lowland rainforests and Antarctic Beech mountain forests that long ago, covered most of Australia and can still be seen here today,” she said.

“The mural takes us back in time to past eras when cassowaries, megafauna and giant birds roamed this land.

“Back to 20-million years ago, when the Wollumbin / Mt Warning volcano was erupting with molten lava, to times past when Australian dinosaurs, horned turtles and platypus with pointed beaks and teeth lived nearby.

“The Murwillumbah Riverbank Restoration and Open-

air Gallery is creating a safe place for visitors and local community of all ages to reconnect with the river which is our greatest asset.”

The first stage of the project has been funded by 25th Anniversary Landcare Grants, Tweed Landcare, Murwillumbah Services Club and Tweed Shire Council.

Tweed Shire Councillors have voted to support the continuation of the riverbank restoration and Earth Learning is seeking your support.

Elders Real Estate has also generously donated $1000.

If you would like to help please contact Adrienne Weber on: 0432917555 or visit www.earthlearning.org.au Donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Further to this, Earth Learning will also be launching a new picture book for kids called “GOLD” which is about the local wildlife of the Gondwana rainforests.

The book has been beautifully written and illustrated by children’s author Jane Stadermann and will be available soon.

Join in the fun at the Earth Learning Riverbank Fundraising Breakfast (L-R) Gary Bagnall, Erwin Weber, Musician Sarah Sigley, Adrienne Weber, Delle Emery and (front) Phonenix and Willow

Mike Cornish & Bryan Hunsberger will be in the Northern NSW area from Wednesday, 1 February for 4 days only

Halcyon House wins another hotel award

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Local ladies need last boost before big trek TWEED RESIDENTS may have noticed Alison Peters, Nicole McDermott, Paris York and Shauna Hughes walking around Murwillumbah selling raffle tickets or approaching businesses seeking sponsorship for their fundraiser for Murwillumbah Hospital.

The ladies who have named their fundraiser “Healing Passion” are walking The Overland Track in Tasmania during February to raise $10,000 for an additional bathroom facility in the Birthing Suite and furnishings for the Murwillumbah Hospital.

“Healing Passion” has so far raised $7388 and is hoping to raise the remaining amount by February 10, 2017.

“We have been training hard preparing for the 65km walk through the Tassie wilderness”.

Part of the struggle is to carry all their equipment for 6 days. “Clothing, tents, sleeping gear and food add up to quite a hefty load on its own, let alone the added difficulties the Tasmanian weather and terrain can throw up,” Alison said.

“Knowing that we are raising money for our local hospital is the best incentive we can have to push us through.

“We’re training hard to get our fitness levels up will help make our time in Tasmania an enjoyable experience.”

Healing Passion have a signed Titans jersey that they are also auctioning online.

Details about the online auction, donating or being a major sponsor please visit the social media page at facebook.com/healingpassionmurwillumbah or contact Nicole on 0411 449 602 or alisonp@alglawyers.com.au

books.

“With its good looks and down to earth charm, it’s a well deserved winner.”

The relaxed coastal decor at Halcyon House has been a drawcard for visitors and locals alike and won the admiration of the judges..

“The only thing going troppo at Halcyon House in Queensland is the beachy decor: an artful muddle of Mediterranean pool chic, breezy Cali cool and Long Island nauticalia,” said judges of the awards.

“This former faded surf motel has communal areas as ravishing as its rooms: the pool for example – framed in teak, fringed by palms and lined with blue-andwhite candy-stripe day beds – or the artlined restaurant, where a Noma-trained chef works his eye-catching magic.”

The other Australian winner of the awards was the Old Clare Hotel in the Sydney suburb of Chippendale, who won the Best Gourmet Getaway award.

The award follows up from their runnerup position in the 2015 Best Smith Hotel Award.

James Lohan, founder of Mr & Mrs Smith said, “As the only category voted for by the public, Best Smith Hotel is a serious accolade.”

THIS WEEK I was fortunate to interview Matthew Armitage. He is a fantastic local musician that has been capturing audiences on the East Coast.

Matthew draws upon influences of primitive blues, old time rock’n’roll and his love of the guitar.

Matthew was born in Wellington New Zealand, grew up in Dunedin and at 18 moved back to Wellington to study music while playing various jazz gigs and teaching.

He’s been living and playing professionally on the East Coast since August 2013. One of his projects The Swamps is a 50s 60s Tarantino style party duo made up of Matthew on guitar and Matt Swan (Swanny) on drums. His other duo, Chesta Hedron, is an all original, heavy psych, kraut rock, surf instrumental band with drummer Eli Kalaitzides.

At his solo gigs he plays mostly his originals, but with some familiar old songs in the mix depending on the type of gig.

What made you decide to make Tweed Heads your home?

I ran into a beautiful lady Candi about four years ago at a Jazz gig in Wellington. I had no idea at that stage where Tweed Heads even was. After six months of dating long distance and a few visits I followed my heart and ended up moving in with her to Tweed Heads. Now we have an 11-month-old beautiful daughter Iluka.

When I first moved to Australia, Candi started a new job in Byron Bay. I drove her to work every day and with my free time I did some busking and surfing, as you do in Byron Bay. I stopped in at Fresh Cafe where I met the owner who kindly introduced me to Pete Murray. I gave him my business card and he invited me to audition at his restaurant later that week. Pete wasn’t there at the audition, but his business partner Sally was and booked me in. It ended up being a double booking, but the other guy bowed out so he and Pete could sit back, have some dinner and watch me play.

Talking

Pete really liked what he heard and asked me to play one of my tunes Calm Down twice and asked me for some private guitar lessons too. And it’s just snowballed from there. I’ve been playing regularly up and down the coast ever since and travel back to New Zealand occasionally for special gigs over there too.

What are your plans for 2017?

Concentrating on original music and experimenting with my songs. The new album I’m working on is going to be excellent. I’m cooking it up with all the special herbs and spices. It doesn’t have a title yet, but it’s definitely on the way.

What live shows have you got coming up?

• Friday January 20: The Railway Friendly Bar Byron Bay with The Swamps 7pm-10pm.

• Friday February 17: The Sun Bistro Byron Bay solo 5pm8pm.

• Sunday March 5: Eddies Grub House Solo 3pm-6pm.

• Saturday March 11: Miami Marketta with The Swamps 7pm-10pm.

You can hear Matthew’s songs and follow his future gigs on http://www.armitagemusic.net.

FILMS with Mia LA LA LAND

One of the most anticipated films of the season is arriving in town, and if you are a fan of musicals, this is the film for you..!

Written and directed by the young and super talented Damian Chazelle - who spellbound us two years ago with his previous film Whiplash - and starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, La La Land tells a simple story: a struggling jazz pianist falls for an aspiring actress in Los Angeles. Success eventually rewards both of them, but then holding on to both their artistic dreams and their relationship becomes a challenging endeavor…

Although the story takes place in contemporary times, the atmosphere of the film is quite traditional, with a look reminiscent of the great musicals made in the ‘40s and ‘50s. The film comes across as a loving homage to classic Hollywood.

The opening sequence is an extraordinary musical number, set in the middle of a morning drive-time traffic jam along a vast stretch of L.A. freeway - all filmed with an amazing choreography in one shot..!

After recently winning a record seven awards at the Golden Globes, La La Land - which some critics have defined as “the most audacious big-screen musical in recent times” - will surely be a strong Academy Awards contender for the best film of the year

Hat Fitz and Cara to play only regional show at Nimbin ON SUNDAY, February 5, Hat Fitz and Cara will bring their award winning ol’timey roots show to The Nimbin Bush Theatre for the CD launch of their fourth album “After The Rain”.

The duo are in increasing demand worldwide and have been touring festivals around the globe relentlessly. This is the only regional show for this dynamic duo and thus your only chance to catch them before they disappear off in a flurry of international touring.

They promise to create a daytime spectacular for this launch, and will be joined by the 50 piece “Northern Rivers Folk Choir” for a good portion of their set. They will be supported by well loved local bluesy songbird Elena B Williams.

This dynamic duo’s first single, Doing it Again from the album was produced by the well-respected Govinda Doyle who was behind, the number-one single Big Jet Plane for Angus and Julia Stone. This track is a romping, stomping peek inside a relationship holding strong through all kinds of weather. I asked Cara a few questions about the process of writing “ After the Rain” and what’s next for this world class roots duo.

An interview with Cara Robinson from Hat Fitz and Cara.

1. How is your new album, “After the Rain” different from previous releases?

This album is different in the way we recorded it as previously we added a few extra instruments in the ‘Do Tell’ where as with this one there was only one track that had trumpets and Trombone which was ‘After The Rain’ We went for a more organically and honest approach of what we present in a live set.

2. What are your major influences when it comes to songwriting?

There are so many great artists out there and we sometimes feel that certain songs while writing you would question ‘how would Van Morrison have phrased this sentence?’ Or this rhythm puts me in mind of R.L Burnside on guitar by

Fitzy.

3. Do you and Hat Fitz write together? How is that process in a relationship?

Yes we write together and also sometimes we give each other the space to write the bulk of a song before presenting it to each other. Its a process in any relationship where you need to listen real careful to what the other person is actually saying as music communicates in many different forms. It has taken on its own unique form of how we communicate musically over the past 7 years and so sometimes very little is said where lots is being accomplished. What feels good to us is where we are headed in a song.

4. What are your career highlights from 2016?

Recording the album at Govinda Doyle’s on the Gold Coast. Working on our venue at home.

Touring UK, Europe & Canada playing City Folk Fest, also first time playing USA Rhythm & Roots Rhode Island. Being invited back also for 2017. Our team seems to be growing from strength to strength we have such great support from those around us.

5. What is your first musical memory and what impression did it make on you?

The first musical memory from Fitzy that really moved him in a strong direction of the Blues was finding Bo Carters record and that was when the hairs went up on the back of his neck. My experience was a stand in teacher setting aside the standard songs at my school and teaching us how to sing Lead Belly, that was when I had serious knots in my stomach and the tears came flooding while singing this music and I knew then that I had to know more about singing and music, I headed down the Soul route.

6. Where are you travelling to after your Australian tour?

We are heading to France April and UK May with Germany and Belgium finishing early June.

DETAILS: 2pm Sunday February 5. Entry $25 Booking ahead recommended@http://www. nimbinbushtheatre.com/events

The Nev Ollis Quintet to start to jazz season

THIS GREAT combo has all the talent and creativity to present a wide range of music, from stomping trad jazz through to more sophisticated, often cool numbers.

Nev Ollis has been on the Brisbane Jazz scene since 1987 when he retired from journalism to join the MetroGnomes, a jazz quartet run by trombonist Tom Nicolson. The quartet became very tight through working daily at its given task and a recording was made labelled “Gnomes Gnome More”.

Nev Ollis leads the quintet on trombone, Peter Uppman features on trumpet and flugelhorn, the driving rhythm section has Bill White on drums, Glenn Flenady on banjo and guitar with Chris Schnack tuba and string bass.

Combining international recognition with many years working in Australia these musicians are the only guarantee needed of a great night to start the 2017 jazz season.

Free eye checks a must for young kids Makeup and mobile A FREE vision screening for four-year-olds is being offered across the Tweed Shire by Statewide Eyesight Preschooler Screening (StEPS) program run by NSW Health.

The screening is designed to prevent a child from developing a lifelong vision problems before he or she is aware of it.

That’s the situation one Casuarina couple found themselves in when their son Max was diagnosed with a lazy eye following a routine vision screening at his preschool in Casuarina.

Max Stewart, 4, may have missed out on having the abnormality in his eye detected, were it not for the free screening provided by the StEPS program.

The program offers free vision screening to all fouryear-old children before they start school, and is routinely delivered through preschools and childcare centres.

“Like many parents, we didn’t realise there was any problem until he had the screening,” Max’s mother, Tabatha Stewart, said.

“The condition wasn’t visible to the untrained person.”

Max was assessed by Registered Nurse, Liz James, at his preschool in June 2016 and was referred for further treatment.

Max’s father, John Patrick Stewart, said he was initially surprised to hear that his son’s vision wasn’t perfect and a visit to the optometrist confirmed there was an issue.

“At the first optometrist appointment, Max put on glasses and said “Ah I can see!”’ Mr Stewart said.

“Vision screening is essential at this age because it is a critical development period, and the earlier we’re able to detect a problem, the more likely it is that we’re able to correct it,” said Jennifer McKay, StEPS Program Coordinator, Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSW LHD).

“Children are particularly at risk of suffering from undetected vision problems because they may not realise they can’t see well, and may not complain of eye problems,” Ms McKay said.

A StEPS assessment with a trained vision screening nurse is the best way to detect eye problems at an early age, with the aim of avoiding preventable vision impairment or blindness later in life. The StEPS program currently reaches over 80 per cent of all four-year-old children throughout the NNSW LHD. Ms McKay encouraged parents to look out for the program when it comes to their child’s centre, and to

complete the consent form to have their child screened.

The StEPS program has now been successfully conducted by the NNSW LHD for the past six years.

Parents of children who aren’t attending preschool can also arrange for an individual screening at local Community Health Centres by phoning the StEPS office on (02) 6620 2836.

phones while driving

AN INCREASING number of Tweed Valley Way motorists are ignoring police warnings and safety messages by diverting their eyes away from the road to their mobile phones and makeup.

The issue is becoming more common according to regular commuters, who are calling for everyone to drive safe and “forget about your phone”.

“No one is so important that they have to look at their phones every few minutes,” one comment reads.

“Pull over if you are that important or wait – simple.”

Several other residents have also vented their frustrations on social media with one pleading with a one young girl to stop doing her makeup while driving.

“To the young girl yesterday (Friday January 13) at around 8.10am. You were driving a small silver Getz type car on the road to Tweed on the stretch near Dinseys Creek,” Lyn Hartley wrote.

“Dark hair tied back. Please put on your powder/makeup before you get in the car - not on the way to work as in an instant things can change when you aren’t 100 per cent concentrating and you may not make it to work at all.

“Or someone else in another car may not make it where they’re going either.”

The post attracted a range of comments including from motorbike riders, who encouraged Mrs Hartley to report her.

“As a motorcycle rider I find this really scary! Report her please,” Kirsten Little said.

Tweed Police have also issued several warnings to drivers to stop using devices or distractions while behind the wheel.

Several residents are now calling for drivers to be banned from driving if they’re caught more than once on their phones while behind the wheel.

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe drivers should have their licence suspended after they’re caught multiple times?

Animals In Space

There have been plenty of good sized Jewfish (Mulloway) around, especially in the Chinderah area and at the estuary.

We’ve had several decent weigh-ins – current record for January is 10kg. Mainly being caught on Mullet Whiting have been the most popular with family fishing groups as they have been in good supply throughout the river and along the beaches. Comparatively easy to catch, handle and eat! Live worms are the best bait but frozen or dried worms are easier for the kids!

Trevally are being caught around the Tweed river mouth caught on SwimmerZ as well as Prawns and small Pilchards.

Lots of different species being caught offshore with Mackerel being the most prevalent. Pilchards and a variety of hard bodied lures have been working well. A few Black Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Cobia and Squire have all been caught around Nine Mile and up at Palm Beach reef.

In store at Tweed Tackle & Marine there are super special prices on a great range of Quantum Spinning reels – the world’s best!

POLICE BEAT Police chase lands teen prison sentence

Police dog patrol nabs teen with drugs

A 17-YEAR-OLD teenager has been charged with alleged drug supply offences in the Tweed Heads area.

Police said it was about 1.30pm on Thursday, January 12, when officers from Tweed/Byron Local Area Command were on a drug dog operation at a mall on Wharf Street when the 17-year-old boy was stopped.

Police will allege a search of the boy resulted in 49 MDMA tablets, almost 200g of cannabis being and $4000 in cash located. All items were seized for forensic examination.

The boy was arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station where he was charged with two counts of supplying a prohibited drug, three counts of possessing a prohibited drug and dealing with proceeds of crime.

He was refused bail and appeared at court on Friday, January 13.

Kingscliff man to face drug charges

Photo by John Higgins 19-YEAR-OLD Kalem Cosgrove will spend at least a year in jail after he sped away from a roadside breath test and led police on a dangerous pursuit up the Pacific Motorway on Sunday, January 15.

Cosgrove appeared at Tweed Heads Local Court and was sentenced to six months for driving an unregistered vehicle without a licence plus another 15 months under Skye’s Law for failing to stop during a police pursuit.

He will be eligible for parole in January 2018.

The incident occurred at about 10.450am on Sunday, January 15, after a Tweed Police pursuit was initiated on a Ford Falcon driven by the 19-year-old and with another 14-year-old passenger, who failed to stop for a police roadside breath test near Grafton.

The police said the pursuit was however terminated due to safety concerns.

Police said they later observed the vehicle at Wardell Street and after another failed to stop motion police deployed a road spike system and blew three tyres.

But instead of stopping the man carried on until the car eventually erupted into flames on the Pacific Highway at Wooyung after travelling 45km on three rims.

A 44-YEAR-OLD Kingscliff man will face court next month on several drug charges after police raided his unit on Kingscliff Street on Wednesday, January 11.

Tweed Police said it was 2pm when officers attached to Tweed/Byron Local Area Command executed a search warrant at the unit.

During the search, police said they (allegedly) found a small amount of cannabis, $3500 in cash, scales and other drug paraphernalia.

Police arrested the man at the scene and he was taken to Tweed Heads Police Station where he was charged with supply prohibited drug, possess prohibited drug and deal with proceeds of crime.

He was granted conditional bail and will appear at Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, February 6.

Drink driver arrested at Tweed Heads

police have suspended the licence of a 39-year-old man from Tamworth and charged him with high range drink driving at Tweed Heads South on the weekend.

Police said about 3.10am on Saturday the 14th of January, they received information that a possible drink driver was using the ‘drive-through’ of a fast food restaurant on Minjungbal Dr, Tweed Heads South.

Police patrolled the area, and located a 39 year old man from South Tamworth driving a silver Mazda hatchback out of the fast food restaurant driveway.

Police stopped the man and conducted a breath test, which proved positive. He was placed under arrest and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station, where he undertook a breath analysis. The man returned a reading of 0.163, which is in the high range category of drink driving.

The man was charged with that offence, and his drivers licence was suspended immediately. He was issued a Court Attendance Notice to appear at Tweed Heads Local Court on the 6th of February.

Have you seen Scott Anderson?

Scott Anderson has a number of outstanding warrants for his arrest in both NSW and QLD. He is wanted for domestic assault & intimidation offences in NSW and for failing to appear at Court on drug offences in QLD. Anderson is known to frequent/reside in the Banora Point area. He is aware he is wanted for the above offences and is actively avoiding authorities.

If any member of the public sights Anderson or has information on his whereabouts they can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Tweed Heads Police Station on 0755 360999.

Slithery serpents stirring THERE HAS been an increased number of snake sightings across the Tweed with the hot weather upon us and local photographers have submitted some great snaps of our serpent friends.

Many species of snakes are harmless to humans but if you see a snake close to your house you should follow this advice; • Do not approach the snake - most snakebites occur when people try to catch and kill them.

• Keep pets away from the area - dogs and cats may be curious or aggressive towards snakes.

• Watch it from a safe vantage point - ideally watch it from an elevated platform • Contact a qualified person to remove the snake if necessary - if possible have somebody other than the designated ‘snake spotter’ make the phone call.

Stuart Ball took this photo of a Common Tree Snake

“We were walking along the path at Purlingbrook Falls at Springbrook, when we came across what we believe is a Green Tree Snake. It had almost finished consuming what looks like a Great Barred Frog. It was on the edge of the path just if front of us and allowed us to walk quietly past it before it slithered into the rainforest.

Bowls Notes

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

with Judy Tuckey

One day coaching course open to everyone IT HAS been said that mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun. So, considering that the mercury climbed well up in the 30’s on Saturday, perhaps one could be forgiven for thinking of adding bowlers to this statement!

However, afternoon sea breezes certainly made the heat more bearable as men’s triples championship games kicked off at Kingscliff and Cabarita Beach B.C. were conducting their A and B Grade Pairs finals.

Cabarita’s John Turner (Skip) and Bill Creedon were challenging Ken Coyte (Skip) and Doug Moir in the A Grade Pairs Final and certainly dominated their opposition throughout the game. Brilliant lead bowls delivered by Creedon, coupled with Turner’s expertise on the greens, produced a formidable duo to contend with as they plundered shot after shot from the beginning to sustain a very comfortable lead at all times. A resurgence from team Coyte in the 15th and 16th ends produced 5 shots to

reduce their deficit to 10 down, only to be counter scored by team Turner picking up 5 shots, themselves, in the next two ends. With team Turner now in an unbeatable position at the completion of 18 ends, team Coyte conceded defeat allowing Turner and Creedon the claim victory and the 2017 Championship title. Well done John and Bill.

The B Grade Pairs final at Cabarita with Barry White (Skip) and Stan Ciercan tackling Rod Faulkner (Skip) and John Hammersley for supremacy evolved into a close encounter to begin with. Team White opened the score card and held the lead for the first four ends when team Faulkner caught up and a very close game ensued indicating that it could be anyone’s game. Matching each other on the score board continued to the fourteenth end. Faulkner and Co. then stepped up a notch or two and were able to break away to build up a solid margin that denied the opposition any opportunity to get back into the game. Good quality bowling and great sportsmanship from all participants was the essence of this game, and while the contestants shook

Windansea Reunion in March

Tapped in to the waves

with Terry ‘Tappa’ Teece LOCAL SURF reporter and former World Longboard Champion Andrew “Andy Mac” McKinnon, former junior President of the Windansea Surf Club, is organising a reunion of the boardriders club, of which many local legends were members of, including if you look closely at the picture, 1972 Smirnoff World Champion Paul Neilson (Of Brothers Neilsen- front right), and local solicitor Mal Chalmers (Front left).

Established in 1962 at San Diego, California with the name taken from the local reefbreak, Windansea. Considered to be the greatest Club in its day, membership was invitational and the bar was set high for the talent level.

WindanSea was the first truly International Club in the World with branches formed in Mexico, Tahiti, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia.

In 1963, three Bondi Surfers, Max Bowman, Dennis Lindsay and Dave Spencer travelled to California for a surfing trip to Mexico. The American WindanSea asked the Bondi Boys to start an Australian branch and when they

returned to Bondi, Max Bowman was elected President in 1964. Like the Pied Piper, Max recruited some of Australia’ best surfers from Bondi, Cronulla, Wollongong, South Coast, Avalon, Central Coast, Gold Coast to Noosa.

Gold Coast asserted control from 1970 with a clubhouse in Surfers Paradise behind Paula Stafford’s bikini shop in Cavill Avenue where Melba’s nightclub stands today. The sole surviving Australian Club at Caloundra that continues to grow in strength with an abundance of talent.

Many of the past members will be there and is open to the public. The WindanSea 2017 Reunion will take place on Thursday 2nd March from 6.30pm in the upstairs Sound Lounge of the Currumbin RSL. It will be $25.00 admission that entitles everyone to one free Balter beer or Barefoot wine and finger food. An extra $25.00 will be charged for T-shirt and badge. For Booking tickets online click on the Facebook site Windansea Reunion and register via on Eventbrite link. Tickets will be sold on the night but better to get in early.

Awards & Certificates will be handed out to original members with speeches, memorabilia exhibition, classic surf movies & history slideshow plus live music from Gringo’s Band “Los Gringos”. A Bob McTavish replica board of the famous 1967 Fantastic Plastic Machine that spurned the shortboard revolution and Gary Birdsall

painting of the Evolution of Windansea will be auctioned to offset costs and raise money for charity.

The elite five-day competition – which will form the second of four stops on the Vissla NSW Pro Surf Series – will take place from 1 – 5 February, 2017.

Kiwi surf star, Ricardo Christie is just one of the big names entered, with locals taking on over-200 of Australia’s and the world’s most promising male and female surfers will compete in the event, which will see over 20 different countries represented across both divisions.

The Murwillumbah Gentlemen are back on the field and need support

THE GENTLEMEN of Murwillumbah Rugby Club also fondly known as “The Bananas” have reformed for the 2017 season with a callout for more players to take up the jersey and rebuild the club to its former glory.

Current club coordinator Josh Harman-Cullen spoke to The Weekly on Tuesday to clarify a few points made in the media recently and to appeal to locals to back the club.

Previous reports had said The Bananas had folded which was incorrect when in fact the club had a hiatus for one year and is now back.

“The Bananas are appealing to all who have a passion for rugby or wish to learn the game, not just players, but people who genuinely want to be a part of our group,” he said.

“We have a small, but enthusiastic fan base of loyal supporters, who really get behind our team. We appreciate them very much.”

Mr Harman-Cullen, who has a passion for the club and loves his rugby, said The Bananas is not your “big shot” well-funded three-grade club, with a large sponsorship base and a multitude of players to choose from, or a junior side to guide through the ranks.

“Over the past few years we have fielded a 2nd grade side, but despite lacking in numbers we have always made up for

this in our club spirit,” he said.

“Unfortunately, Murwillumbah Rugby Club does not have the money behind it to use to entice players from the Gold Coast or Brisbane areas, to build a 1st grade side.

“The Club is run on raffles and a small sponsorship base of loyal fans and local businesses.

“As you would expect of any small country-town rugby club The Gentlemen rely on our “locals” pure and simple.

“If you love to stay fit, play rugby and have a beer with mates - it is the perfect club.

“The Gentlemen are a family - a group of mates who enjoy their rugby and social events (which includes BBQ’s and the odd amber ale).

“The Club reformed after a long hiatus, in 2010. The players that the small club has produced are notable. Two of its proudest assets have been the Arnold brothers. Rory Arnold, who now plays for ACT Brumbies and (of course) the Wallabies, and his brother, Richard Arnold.

“Richard was signed to Western Force last year and hopes to make his way in to the Super Rugby, in their top squad,

this year.

“Our hope for 2017 is to enlist more players to join our ranks and to field a team or two in the Far North Coast Competition.”

Mr Harman-Cullen said the biggest hurdle as a small club is “basically everything”.

“Having players is always the number one difficulty,” he said.

“As players leave, get older or move away, it becomes hard to find new players keen to play rugby in a small town.

“Another hurdle is sponsorship. In a town like Murwillumbah everyone is behind the rugby league team.

The Mustangs are such a successful well-established club, with a huge fan base in the local community. This makes it difficult to compete for sponsorship’s and players.

“The final hurdle is being a 2nd-grade or 3rd-grade side with no other grade to support you when you are low on numbers.

“When you play a larger, well-established club they can afford to drop their top-level players down to bolster their lower grades ranks during the season.

“This practice is not only unfair on those players in their own club, who play a grade and have to step aside for others, but it is also unfair on the smaller club who plays with their legitimate team, win or lose.

Mr Harman-Cullen also commented on the recent

formation of the Casuarina Rugby Union Club and said that although the two clubs will not work together he sees a strong future for rugby across the Tweed.

“Murwillumbah, having only a senior side and always struggling to bring in younger/fresh players, thought it would make sense to approach Casuarina, who previously had only a junior side,” he said.

“We put forward that we should do some sort of a plan where we could be more involved with their club and show that we were an option to their juniors as they grew older, and were looking for a senior team.

“In good spirit, The Bananas even went over to train the Casuarina Juniors on one occasion.

“The Casuarina Club rejected this offer and decided to build a senior team of their own for 2017.

“On being given this news, The Bananas had thought that, logically, the best option to pursue was to form a merger between the two clubs and split everything 50/50, to avoid competing for the already very limited number of available players.

“This would have allowed a combined team to join the Far North Coast competition.

“Casuarina rejected this offer as well and elected to field their own sides in the Far North competition this year – which was somewhat disappointing news for The Bananas.

“However, we are rebuilding with many new, enthusiastic players joining our ranks and we are looking forward to an enjoyable season and I wish all the best to the new Casuarina Rugby Club.”

Training for The Bananas is at 6PM Tuesdays and Thursdays at Murwillumbah Brothers Leagues Club, Dorothy Street, Murwillumbah.

“I would encourage any keen players to come along, introduce yourselves and join in the fun,” Mr HarmanCullen said.
