Dungay residents angered by development plans

$20-million development price tag includes the cost of the dwellings.

The site is zoned RU2 Rural Landscape and the development application details several steps that will be taken to reduce the visual impact of the development.

Project Director Neville Fredericks had previously spoken to The Weekly in June 2016 and he emphasised at that time that the “zoning on the land permits caravan parks, subject to development approval”.

“Under state legislation caravan parks are permitted to have permanent residents provided the dwellings are relocatable,” he previously said.

Mr Fredericks said any future tenants at the site would need to take long-term leases over their allotment, owning their own homes and being responsible for maintenance of their dwellings.

“Land lease communities are growing in popularity with the over 55s, providing an important housing choice for seniors who wish to downsize to a smaller new home,” he said.

Mr Fredericks also commented on concerns regarding water sourcing and sewerage.

“The details of the proposed water source, use and storage will be submitted with the development application,” Mr Fredericks previously told The Weekly.

“With regard to sewer treatment and disposal, it would be impossible to obtain a development consent without strict compliance with all environmental regulations.

“Daily traffic movements from these homes are on average less than half that of dwellings in the community at large.

To have your say on the development application visit http://s1.tweed. n s w. g o v. a u / P a g e s / XC. T r a c k / SearchApplication.aspx?id=745665 or Council’s offices (DA17/0383).

development would place on water and waste management”.

“Currently Council only permits subdivisions in this area into 40 hectare lots with usually only one dwelling permitted on the land.

This development would virtually be allowing a 27-hectare site to be subdivided into 187 lots,” the group spokesperson said.

“The group said they had concerns that the land was being used to make large profits at the expense of the future of Dungay.

The plans propose an onsite effluent treatment and disposal system with drinking water being provided from rainwater tanks and an onsite bore and residents raised major concerns regarding the depletion of water resources and the effect on their own bores used for domestic and livestock.

The plans also offer a community centre, swimming pool, amenities, men’s shed, managers dwelling and community garden for the 27-hectare site. However, these facilities are to be for the exclusive use of manufactured home/caravan park residents only.

“The proposed development will include predominately permanent sites which will provide a form of affordable housing within the locality,” the development application reads.

“The proposal also contains a number of short term sites at the front of the site that will be used for tourist and short stay accommodation and include sites for caravans.”

The removable dwellings are planned to be purchased from the owner, and do not require a development application to be constructed under the provisions of the Local Government (Manufactured Home Estate, Caravan Parks, Camping Grounds and Moveable Dwellings) Regulation 2005.

There is no indication of the cost per home, however the plans state the

A GROWING group of Dungay residents are hoping to stop a largescale development at 355 Tomewin Road, which they say is placing the rural settlement in grave danger of losing its identity.

The development in question is a 187site manufactured home and caravan park proposal in the heart of Dungay, which has been on the local agenda for more than 12 months.

A revised $20-million project application was submitted to Council on Thursday, June 22, by Wollumbin Common Pty Ltd and maps out plans for the caravan park to include 172 long-term manufactured home sites and 15 short-term caravan sites.

The Weekly met with a group of about 15 Dungay locals who expressed their “disgust” with the application and wanted to correct a recent suggestion in The Weekly that “some locals support a degree of development” in Dungay.

The group includes members of the recently established Dungay Action Group, who are opposed to the development on the grounds of the rural setting of Dungay as well as concerns around impact to amenities, traffic concerns, land clearing and the development not being in-line with local expectations.

“We estimate more than 95 per cent of the current approximately 160 residents of Dungay are against this type of high density development, which we see as a subdivision by stealth,” a group spokesperson said.

“The Dungay area currently only comprises some 60 residences spread over some 1,652 hectares. This development will effectively more than double the number of dwellings and the population, all on a 27-hectare site.”

The residents agreed that the development, which covers 27-hectares, is too big for the area and several have “grave concerns for the demands the

Community must fight to save Kings Forest koalas

For eight years, this community has strongly said we want our koalas to survive the arrival of a new ‘mini city’ at Kings Forest, just behind Kingscliff.

The developer promised to provide certain koala friendly measures.

Now they have permission to build, they have applied to roll back the koala agreement, to the point of being what I believe is “useless”.

To add insult to injury, the advertisement (which they are legally obliged to run) informing the community of the application was in seven point type, which is tiny!

Team Koala would like to encourage you to object to the application. Tell the developer to keep their promises.

S e e t h i s w e e k ’s f u l l p a g e advertisement in the Tweed Valley Weekly (page 13) for all the details or contact us 0400 627 312.

Please help. Let’s not let all our work go to waste!

Jenny Hayes, Team Koala president and Tweed local

From a prayer to silence

I request that you raise a motion calling for Council to progress an amendment of the Tweed Shire Council Code of Practice (see attached pages 6 & 7) in order to remove the prayer from the order of business of both ordinary meetings and planning meetings of Council or replace the word ‘prayer’ with the words ‘communal’ or ‘mutual reflection’ or similar.

Please consider the motion below regarding the replacement of the prayer from the Order of Business in Council’s Code of Meeting Practice.

In light of the broad range of Religious Affiliation and level of non religious belief within peoples of Tweed Shire identified in Census 2016 Councillor moves that Council amends the Code of Meeting Practice in order to remove the prayer from the order of business

of both ordinary meetings and planning meetings of Council or replaces the word ‘prayer’ in the order of business with the words ‘communal’ or ‘mutual reflection’ so that all members of the community attending Council meetings are included and feel welcome and are able to participate in this part of the meeting in a manner in keeping with their beliefs.

Other words that could replace the word ‘reflection’ are contemplation or consideration.

My request for a time of silence and communal reflection rather than prayer has no disrespect for anyone’s beliefs. To the contrary, it allows for prayer to be accommodated at Council meetings and encourages all people present to reflect on their personal understanding of spirituality and / or ethics in a spirit of togetherness as one.

I fully understand that Councillors and staff have the best intentions for the electorate in relation to the reading of the prayer. However, below is my reasoning for asking for a change to the current procedure:People who remain seated and do not partake in the opening prayer at Council meetings often appear to be quite uncomfortable at being placed in a situation where they are forced to listen to a prayer of a different faith and for their personal position on spiritual matters to be exposed to all present.

The focus of a prayer on only one faith has the potential to discourage people of different faiths and beliefs from coming to Council meetings.

People of one faith do not attend the churches of another.

I believe that it is inappropriate and disrespectful to people within the community of other faiths (and there are many) for Council to single out and favour one faith or belief, in prayer, above all others. Even if Council were to accommodate a prayer of a different faith at each Council meeting, this would still act to exclude people of a different faith who attend on each occasion. Also it would take too long to recite a prayer for each faith at the meeting.

All members of the community attending Council meetings should be able to participate in this part of the meeting and feel included and welcome.

Australia is a secular country with no state religion and as I understand there is no requirement under law for Council to open meetings with a prayer. Many Councils in New South Wales do not include prayer in their order of business at their meetings.

Council represents and is there to serve the whole of the community.

Concerns around three bin system

My wife and I have resided in Tweed Heads South for thirty years and we are extremely concerned regarding the new three bin system which commenced on July 1.

It has the potential to create a fly and maggot infestation of plague proportions due to the serious shortcomings of the methodology.

Even though collections of the green bin are weekly, I am sure the flies will beat us to it. It will also require residents to sanitise the bin every week as food scraps will certainly hit the sides of the bin during collection.

We will simply continue to use the red bin for kitchen scraps, however even though we tie the bags securely, they will be left to rot for a whole fortnight before collection. I am sure that thousands of Tweed residents will have the same concerns as ourselves and adopt the same method.

Another aspect is that the green bin is too big. We are talking about two or maybe three of the small kitchen tidy bags per week - the red bin would have been fine, even if you include one or two lots of lawn clippings.

Water mining trucks damage our roads

A recent piece in The Conversation has highlighted the huge road damage costs caused by large trucks in Australia and the fact that registration fees don’t even begin to cover those costs.

This is obviously deeply relevant to the Northern Rivers and the issue of water mining, the Tweed Water Alliance said. Large trucks come into Tweed Shire, take millions of litres of water, without a cent coming to the Shire, and cause enormous damage to the roads – damage that

Prayer should not be removed

Andrew Bennett wants Christian prayer banned by Council. I reckon the councillors needs the wisdom of Solomon, the love of Christ, the fiscal discipline of Joseph, the courage of Daniel, the leadership of Moses and the strength of Samson, to do their job well. Or alternatively, just rely on the humanist’s limited IQ, imperfect education, doubtful experience and misplaced ego.

Andrew references the Lord’s Prayer which includes “Your kingdom come, your will be done.... deliver us from evil.” That’s a great thing to pray from all the heart.

America as “One Nation under God” delivered the world from evil antichrists like Hitler and Stalin.

In the UK, the national anthem is “God Save the Queen.” Australia also acknowledges “Almighty God” in the preamble to our constitution.

Further, the High Court of Australia recognises that government funding of religious schools in no way violates the separation of church and state, and those schools exercise prayer. But deputy Mayor Cherry and the Bennett gang should not feel threatened. It’s not Judgement Day yet, there’s still time to repent.

Catholic Church has poor track record

The cases of Catholic priests accused and convicted of raping or molesting young children against the Catholic Church is rife throughout the world. Cardinal George Pell hastily left Australia for the Vatican a few years ago when the heat was on, to now be officially charged with

Hey Tony, no one is listening

Abbott is delivering death via a thousand cuts to his party, but slowly. Remember this? “There will be no wrecking no undermining and no sniping. I’ve never leaked or backgrounded against anyone and I certainly won’t start now”.

The sad thing is all of his wealth, his successes and status, were delivered via the Liberal Party. He owes the party everything. And this is how he rewards that generosity, with treachery? It is a fact now that Abbott would be happy to forfeit the 2019 election to Labor simply to deprive Turnbull the chance of being PM in any new government and he is doing everything within his power to achieve this end. Let it go Tony. Nobody is listening to you. Not even your own.

Ray Armstrong, Tweed Heads South

Not convinced by Gonski 2.0

Gonski 2.0 has become a reality.

The Federal Government, under Malcolm Turnbull, has a new school funding plan which is supposed to be “sector blind”. But how can it be sector blind when it is now legislated that public schools will only get 20 per cent of their required funding from the Federal Government while private schools, including Catholic schools, will receive 80 per cent.

The states and territories will be required to meet the shortfall. And we know that these governments mostly have much more difficulty in finding the necessary funds to ensure the needs of their communities are met. I doubt very much that the new funding arrangements will close the gap in learning outcomes between those students that come from advantaged backgrounds and those that come from disadvantaged backgrounds. The original Gonski model was designed to close that gap.

If only this could have been implemented years ago, a lot less would have gone to landfill and a lot more usable compost could have been processed.

multiple child sex offences.

The Pope has distanced himself from Pell and released him from his Vatican ‘bean counting’ duties whilst sacking the Vatican head of sex abuse cases, cardinal Mueller.

Meanwhile a special fund has been set up for Australian Catholics to donate to Pell’s legal fees after the Sydney archdiocese declared it would not pay for his defence. Any Catholics with a conscience certainly will not be donating to that fund.

It is not surprising that nonreligious people now outnumber Catholics worldwide. If by some remote chance there were to be a god, would he or she choose to be a Catholic?

“This water belongs to all of us, but all that Tweed residents are getting is less water and more road damage, which we then pay for,” said Tweed Water Alliance spokesperson Jeremy Tager.

The Conversation piece reveals that “a B-Double can cause, per kilometre travelled, 20,000 times the road wear and tear that a family car does.”

“This is not an argument to eliminate trucks, but highlights that some of the damage caused by trucks is totally avoidable and has no upside. Water mining is one of those. It’s a lose-lose proposition.”

As the Tweed Shire Council will soon face a decision on another wat e r m i n i n g D eve l o p m e n t Application, the Tweed Water Alliance is calling for the DA to be rejected and for the Council to implement policies that properly protect our water and our roads.

Aveo debate rages as positive stories clash with negative THE TREATMENT of residents at Aveo Mountain View in Murwillumbah remains a hot topic this week with several residents speaking from both positive and negative experiences with the company - following a joint Four Corners and Fairfax report that aired on ABC and in Fairfax print last week.

The report slammed Aveo’s upper management for implementing policies that many residents said were designed to make big profits at the expense of the community’s most vulnerable.

The report has resurfaced some bad experiences for several former residents of Aveo Mountain View, but has also prompted counter arguments from current residents who spoke highly of the ‘village’ and in defence of the local staff.

Wendy Powell has been living in a twobedroom apartment at Mountain View for the past two-and-a-half years. She highly praised the management and staff at Mountain View, who she said were wrongly tainted in the national report.

Mrs Powell is on the strata committee of the owner’s corporation at Mountain View as well as the resident welcome committee, who greet new residents to the village.

“I feel it’s a bit sad that people are now worried that Mountain View residents are mistreated following the Four Corners and Fairfax report,” she said.

“People need to know that there’s a lot of great stories inside Mountain View around the service areas.

“The staff and management at the service level are nothing but helpful and attentive to the resident’s needs, I’ve had several dealings with management and it’s been nothing but positive.”

Mrs Powell said she refuted claims that Aveo was acting in a “churn and burn” style approach towards retirement living for the semi-retired and elderly.

“While I do believe that Aveo could be more transparent especially at the higher sales executive levels, I also feel that it’s the government legislation which allows for these policies to take place,” she said.

“I feel it’s up to the government to make the legislation stronger to protect residents.

“I do believe the current management at Mountain View are mindful and helpful to the residents and I was shocked by the allegations made by some of those current residents.”

Mrs Powell said a lot of emphasis in the report had been placed on the Aveo policy exit fees, which can be as high as 30 per cent on a property.

“This exit fee was made perfectly clear to me upon looking at the contract, in fact I believe the sales person had pointed it out straight away that an exit fee would be imposed should I decide to leave,” she said.

“While I would agree there are other fees that require greater investigation, or a lawyer to assist, I refute any claim that Mountain View is like living in a prison or that they are attempting to lock the elderly into an agreement that will leave them worse off.

“We are not being exploited, in fact there had been a lot of sales of apartments in the past couple of years and we’ve had nothing but good feedback.

“It is up to the buyer to review and understand their contract before agreeing and signing.”

A former resident of Aveo Mountain View, Jude McCauley, has a different take on the village and said the environment was “rife with mismanagement”.

Mrs McCauley lived at Aveo Mountain View from 2007 to 2014 and reflects on what she said was a “terrible” environment built by “favouritism” for those closest to Aveo management.

Mrs McCauley did, however, acknowledge that some staff members had been replaced or had moved on to other roles after she left

in 2014.

“If you were in with management and you didn’t have any complaints, it was great for you, but if you suddenly had an issue or several issues including being overcharged, like I did, the management would turn on you quickly,” she said.

Mrs McCauley said she decided to leave after she discovered several alleged overcharges which she said prompted several fair trading investigations.

“It started when I discovered that GST (10 per cent) was being charged to each meal for residents,” she said.

Mrs McCauley said she complained about the surcharge on meals, which was subsequently investigated and later removed.

“It was after that when things started to go bad,” she said.

“Because I had spoken against Aveo, I was no longer considered in with the community and I decided to leave.”

Mrs McCauley paid $135,000 for her apartment in 2007 and in 2014 after exit fees she was left with $45,000.

Fortunately, Mrs McCauley’s family helped support her by purchasing another apartment in Banora Point, where she is living happily.

“There was a lot more serious problems that was not reported on Four Corners,” she said.

“If you look up to the village and the staff you will live well, but if you speak out like I did, you’re quickly forgotten.”

The Weekly received a letter from current Mountain View resident, Elizabeth Arnold, who only had positive things to say about the village after purchasing a unit in December 2015 to “escape from the Gold Coast”.

“I wanted a quieter lifestyle and I was very concerned about security after having drug dealers as neighbours and a burglary,” Mrs Arnold wrote.

“The real estate agent who showed me the property told me that I was buying into a lifestyle and not to expect a return on my

purchase in comparison with normal real estate.

“The units are affordable at Mountain View so it gave me the option to leave full-time work sooner and be closer to my grandchildren.

“My solicitor explained about the exit fees, so I was aware of the process for when I leave the village.

“My experiences have all been positive. I feel secure, the neighbours are friendly, the staff are helpful, the gardeners do a great job and there is an emergency call button in each unit.

“A friend who lives in a village in Brisbane (not owned by Aveo) pays a similar amount in weekly ($125 body corp) contributions but doesn’t have a pool or the emergency call system.

“Village living would not be for everybody but I would suggest to anyone thinking about the move, to rent a unit first to see if the lifestyle would suit you.”

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you have an experience with a retirement village or aged care service across the Tweed Shire? We would love to hear your views. Send The Weekly editor an email: editor@theweekly.net.au or drop by 1/12 Queen Street, Murwillumbah.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Plans to increase Tweed Coast sand mining Three years jail under new revenge porn law in NSW Groundbreaking new laws cracking down on the despicable trend of so-called revenge porn have just passed NSW parliament.

Anneka Frayne, lawyer with Stacks Law Firm, has long advocated tougher laws to protect people from attacks and invasion of privacy conducted through social media and the internet, as well as the need to bring the law into line with advances in technology.

“It’s been a challenge for the law to keep up with technological advancement, and in the past too many victims of abuse and personal attack through social media have been unable to take action to bring the perpetrators to justice,” Ms Frayne said.

“The growth in so-called revenge porn, where a person acting out of revenge posts intimate and embarrassing images online of a former partner without their permission has been damaging to far too many people, mostly women.

“The posts are meant to harm, harass, humiliate and damage the reputations of the victims. Some have been used to coerce or blackmail the victim. I have had women in my office crying out of frustration and anger at what was being done to them.”

AN APPLICATION has been submitted to the Department of Planning by Carbrook Sands Pty Ltd to establish a large sand mining operation at Chinderah, that would extract up to 300,000 tonnes of sand per year over 53 years.

The site of the proposed development is to the east of the Pacific Motorway at Chinderah (see image below) and comprises two lots with a total land area of 55 hectares.

The plans include constructing onsite infrastructure and amenities, transporting material off-site via public roads and progressively rehabilitating the site.

The sand is planned to be extracted from the site by dredging then processed and stored on site in stockpiles. It will be transported by trucks from the site to the Pacific Highway via a proposed private driveway (and right of carriageway) along Altona Road, Crescent Street (Cudgen) and Tweed Coast Road (see below).

Action Sands Pty Ltd (a related Company to Carbrook Sands Pty Ltd) already extracts sand from the Tweed River and processes it at a nearby landbased site, which is about 150m north of the site at 204-218 Chinderah Bay Drive, Chinderah.

The application has resulted in the Department of Planning issuing Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs). It is requested that Carbrook Sands provide more

information about water management, potential groundwater and flooding impacts, noise and air quality assessments, traffic impacts and plans for rehabilitating the site.

Both the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and Tweed Shire Council raised concerns over loss of regionally significant farmland, with Council also concerned about visual impacts of the development.

The developer has also been instructed to complete comprehensive consulation with relevant local, State and Commonwealth Government authorities, service providers, Aboriginal stakeholders, community groups and affected landowners.

Meanwhile the Tweed Sand Quarry at Cudgen operated by Hanson Construction Materials has applied to increase the annual rate of sand extraction at the Tweed Sand Quarry from 150,000 cubic metres to 265,000 cubic metres per annum which would result in increased truck movements to and from the site.

The planned increase in sand extraction would amount to approximately 400,000 tonnes of sand per year.

The quarry was fined $15,000 by the Department of Planning in July 2016 for extracting above their approved

limit of 150,000 cubic metres.

In their new application to the Department of Planning “increased demand” was cited as the reason for exceeding their annual extraction limits in 2016.

“HCM (Hanson Construction Materials) exceeded this annual extraction limit in the 2015-16 financial year due to an increase in demand for its sand product throughout south-east Queensland (SEQ) and northern New South Wales (NSW),” the application reads.

The quarry is currently permitted a maximum of 20 truck movements per hour, 200 per day (peak) and 80 per day (rolling quarterly average).

The Tweed Sand Quarry is proposing to increase these figures to a maximum of 36 per hour, 354 per day (peak) and 142 per day (rolling quarterly average).

The application also highlighted that one truckload “leaving the project site is considered two (2) heavy vehicle movements. Therefore, the permissible truckloads is half the above numbers”.

The application is on public exhibition until the end of the month.

A university study found one in five Australians had been affected by revenge porn. Facebook reportedly had to disable more than 14,000 accounts in a single month over revenge porn and “sextortion”.

Now the NSW Crimes Amendment (Intimate Images) Act 2017 has become law, making it a crime to share or record intimate images or videos without consent.

Penalties are severe – up to three years jail and fines up to $11,000.

“What will be even more important for victims is that the law introduces new powers for a court to order a convicted person to remove or destroy images they took or posted illegally,” Ms Frayne said.

It closes a loophole in the law where perpetrators could escape prosecution if their motivation in posting intimate images was not for sexual gratification.

Under the new law, motivation is irrelevant.

For an offence to be committed, those recording or distributing an intimate image only have to be aware, or reckless to the possibility, that the subject of the image has not consented.

As young people share intimate images more than other age groups, the law includes a provision that prosecution of a person under 16 will only be possible with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions.

4/42 MACHINERY DRIVE, SOUTH TWEED

THE DEVELOPER of the massive Cobaki Lakes development has recently submitted another application to the Department of Planning to increase height limits across several of the development’s precincts.

In their new application, Leda has applied to modify their approved Concept Plan (Modification 8) to increase building heights from three-storeys to between eight and 12-storeys in Precincts 5, 11, 12, 15 and 17.

In November, 2016, the developer was issued with Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs) for their proposal to increase height limits across Precincts 11, 12, 15 and 17 from threestoreys to 15-storeys.

In response the Department of Planning is currently preparing (SEARs) against the new application.

Key issues that Leda were asked to address in their previous application included rationale for proposed amendments, built form and visual aspects, density, airspace, transport and accessibility, environmental and residential amenity, open space, sustainability and biodiversity, flooding and storm water and utilities.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) also raised concerns with the previous modification and had asked the developer to address airspace planning impacts.

Tweed Shire Council said they approved the previous modification “in principle”.

“That the Cobaki site lends itself to an increased maximum building height in the context of its visually contained setting, being isolated from the view of other major adjoining and surrounding properties, through a combination of the natural features of the Cobaki Broadwater, the elevated ridges and vegetated buffers of the north-west, west and south-west parts of the site, and the M1 and Gold Coast Airport uses to the north,” Council’s letter reads.

“This greatly contained topography minimizes the extent of any visual impacts of higher buildings from adjoining properties.

“Again at an officer level, the current proposed modification (Mod 6) is supported in principles. However, without design detail, it is difficult to provide substantial comment.

“Notwithstanding, any proposal will need to provide justification for a proposed increase in building height and density.”

CONTRACTORS WILL begin drilling test holes in the wall of Clarrie Hall Dam on Tuesday, July 11, to confirm the strength of the underground rock and its suitability as a building material to raise the dam wall.

In December 2015, Tweed Shire Council resolved to begin planning for and buying the land required to raise the wall of the dam.

Council said the decision to raise the wall followed an extensive assessment of the options available to increase the capacity of the Tweed District Water Supply and the early investigations and planning needed to raise the dam wall are progressing well.

“It's still early days for raising the wall of the dam but we have to undertake these drilling tests now as the results are needed to design the higher wall,” Anthony Burnham, Manager of Water and Wastewater said.

Six test bore holes up to 30m deep will be drilled in the area of the proposed spillway for the raised dam and where the dam wall

will be extended. A helicopter will be used to lift the drill rig around the test site.

“To ensure public safety, Council will lock the gate to the dam wall during the sevenweek drill program,”Mr Burnham said.

Meanwhile, Council is working with the affected communities of Doon Doon and Commissioners Creek on options to continue to provide road access to the upper catchment once the dam wall is raised and McCabe's Bridge is inundated.

As yet, Council has not selected a preferred option for providing continued road access but is undertaking further investigations into building a new higher bridge at the existing McCabe's Bridge site and building an entirely new road into the area.

“We met with the affected community in late June and they asked us to do more work on both these options.

“When we know more about what each of these options entails and what each would cost, we will go back to the affected community and talk with them again.”

Special Energy Crisis Feature - Part 1

Power Prices Going Up 16% to 20% in July

The three biggest energy retailers in NSW announced they will be increasing electricity prices by 16 to 19.9% on the 1st of July 2017.

Some experts are predicting 40-50% increases in power costs over the next three years.

Electricity prices have doubled in the past five years because the Federal Government deliberately created uncertainty about energy and climate policy. Investment in new power plants and renewable energy has stalled, while transmission and distribution networks over-invested in poles and wires, charging consumers a premium on the value of their excessive investments, that now make up half of the charges on electricity bills.

Coal and Gas Corporations made huge donations to political parties, lobbying politicians to do nothing while they manipulated and doubled the wholesale spot prices for electricity in the Australian Electricity Market. Households and businesses are now bearing the burden for this massive failure in leadership to provide low cost, clean energy.

New Kingscliff Clinic – Arnold Mouatt Hearing Services HEAR HEAR! Jeanette Mouatt, Hearing Pracitioner, has returned to the North Coast and Tweed.

Jeanette lives in the local area and has 25 years of success stories with her hearing impaired clients.

“What we can achieve with fitting a hearing aid and a few simple tips for communicating seems basic but really changes lives,” Jeanette said.

Jeanette had previously run a large clinic in NSW, but she sold the clinic a few years ago to travel extensively around Australia and to devote more time to volunteer hearing clinics in New Guinea and Nepal.

Retirement was planned after the adventure. However, she soon realised that she needed more than golf and tennis in her life. In fact, she missed the contact with people and the feeling that she was helping the hearing impaired re-unite with life.

Two years ago, Jeanette, along with Michelle Arnold re launched as Arnold Mouatt Hearing Services and started new hearing clinics in New South Wales.

Such is the demand for their services, they are opening a new clinic in Kingscliff within the Kingscliff Health Medical Centre (Pearl Street) on a regular basis – all appointments are made by phoning Lauren on 1800 706 661.

Michelle Arnold has over 10 years’ experience in hearing and also runs 2 practices on the Gold Coast.

She has also gained a loyal following for her brand of caring, genuine and client focussed service.

Between them they will be able to provide a comprehensive and professional service to the hearing impaired in Kingscliff and surrounding towns.

They will be supported by Lauren, an extremely competent audiometric assistant who has also had more than 6 years’ experience in hearing clinics. It is her friendly voice you will hear when you ring Arnold Mouatt Hearing Services on 1800 706 661.

Jeanette and Michelle will provide, Full hearing tests, be able to supply, fit, service and repair all brands of hearing aids and most importantly support to their clients on the journey to better hearing.

They can also provide clients with workplace and aviation testing services and hearing tests for school aged children from six years onward. Arnold Mouatt are also registered with local General Practitioners as a service that patients can be referred to if they are being managed with chronic and ongoing medical conditions that may be affecting their hearing.

Michelle and Jeanette would like add that if you hold a current pension concession card, Veterans affairs card or are in receipt of a Centrelink sickness allowance you will qualify for free clinic and hearing aid services from the Government Hearing Voucher program.

This includes your full testing, and if you are prescribed as needed hearing aids we can also provide these free of charge. If you are wanting to check your eligibility contact us and we will explain how easy it is to access this service.

A PETITION to reinstate a permanent police presence at the Murwillumbah station on Wollumbin Street, has received almost 650 signatures with several residents sharing their concerns with state politicians and local police last week.

Petition organiser Bob Axford met with Member for Lismore Thomas George, Minister for Emergency Services Troy Grant, Tweed/Byron Local Area Command Superintendent Wayne Starling and several Tweed Police officers at the Murwillumbah Station on Wednesday, June 28.

The online petition, which can be found via communityrun.org, was started despite the latest crime statistics showing decreases in major crimes across the Tweed Shire and the development of the new Tweed Police headquarters scheduled to open in August or September.

However, a recent murder in Knox Park has reignited concerns that high crime could return to the Valley.

Mr Axford said the murder in broad daylight in Knox Park was linked to the lack of a permanent police station, which he said had its services wound back in recent years.

“Murwillumbah is a beautiful town, with a vibrant and positive community, which used to have a permanent police station,” he said.

“There are parts of town where people no longer feel safe, which will affect tourism and our local economy.

“The lack of police is attractive to criminals looking to avoid attention and while the police are doing a great job, we need them here permanently.”

Although Mr Grant acknowledged the need to have a dedicated police location in Murwillumbah, he refused to accept that police were needed 24/7 at the site to address local crime.

“We have worked hard on a model that ensures our police are used in the best way

possible to reduce crime,” he said.

“I think it’s up to residents to continue to report criminal activity across the region to ensure police are made aware of the issues and respond accordingly.”

Mr Grant said he could not make a commitment to implement the petitioners request but he urged the public not to look at the station in isolation.

Superintendent Starling said he wanted to thank the petitioners for their efforts and urged the public to continue to report crime.

“It’s important that residents continue to report crime and if you’re in doubt as to whether you should call police, I would say call anyway and report,” Superintendent Starling said.

Mr Axford said there were often no police in Murwillumbah and when police are required “they must travel from about 30 minutes away”.

Meanwhile, several signatories highlighted that Murwillumbah was not the only hot spot for crime.

“It is not only the issues in Murwillumbah, it is also about the speeding idiots on the roads to Tyalgum, Uki and Chillingham,” one signatory said.

“They know there are no police and they can do what they like.”

“I’ve seen drug deals taking place while walking my kids home from school,” another signatory said.

“Stolen cars lit up behind our property twice in last month in the national park, (fire hazard too),” said a third example.

“Told by police to leave it, wouldn’t make it there in time. “Will check it out tomorrow!” they say. Feeling very unsafe around here.”

FLU NUMBERS across the North Coast have spiked in the month of June applying greater pressure on an already overstretched health and hospital system, according to NSW Labor Shadow Health Minister Walt Secord.

Outside Sydney, the North Coast had the highest number of cases of flu in the state with around a rate of 13.7 per 100,000 people.

Only Western Sydney and Sydney’s north shore had higher rates in NSW. This follows a major whooping cough outbreak in May where there were almost 40 confirmed cases in a single week.

Mr Secord attributed the high North Coast rates to certain people in the community who are not vaccinated.

“Health experts advise that the North Coast’s higher rates were due to small elements in the community who are reluctant to get vaccinations for themselves and loved ones.

“The flu season is smashing NSW emergency departments and it is only going to get worse.

Mr Secord said in a media statement that there was a need for a North Coast specific flu and general vaccination community service campaign to “combat the anti-vaxxer movement”.

Throughout 2017, there have been 6,548 cases of flu in NSW including 2,576 notifications in June, almost double the number of flu notifications in June last year.

In NSW, this year, there have been 18 influenza outbreaks in nursing homes with at least 246 residents with flu symptoms and

25 hospitalisations. Fourteen deaths have been linked to these outbreaks, although those who died also had significant comorbidities.

Mr Secord said the State Government knew the flu season was on the way, but it was not prepared, with data showing that presentations exceeded the seasonal threshold for influenza-like illnesses in emergency departments.

Mr Secord has also accused the Berejiklian Government of failing to properly warn the community to prepare for the flu season, with NSW Health reporting its worst halfyearly figures on record.

The flu can have serious consequences for the old, the disabled or the chronically ill.

Around 3,000 Australians die each year from complications of colds and flu and we are now in the peak of flu season (between June and August).

Mr Secord said the 2017 vaccines were adapted to take into account new emerging strains from the northern hemisphere.

“Every year we know the flu season is coming and again, the State Government has been caught off guard. They have dropped the ball on prevention,” he said.

“Due to the State Government’s failure to properly prepare, the additional flu patients in emergency department mean other patients have to wait longer.

“The last thing that the NSW health and hospital system needs is to see hundreds of extra patients pouring into emergency departments with preventable flu symptoms.

“The health and hospital system is already at breaking point.”

Bunnings to the rescue at local school Murwillumbah East

Public School Be Safe

Last Thursday was a very e�ci�ng day for our gardening group. A dedicated group of volunteers led by our talented general assistant Susan Hennessy have been hard at work redeveloping our schools garden plot and chicken run. The gardens had been devastated by the flood earlier this year and re�uired a lot of a�en�on to bring them back to their produc�ve, award winning state.

Susan, our wonderful gardening group and a rota�ng group of students supported by our Bunnings visitors, worked together in the glorious winter weather crea�ng new garden beds full of flowers, herbs and vegetables.

As Susan said, it was a fantas�c reminder to our students of the generosity and incredible support that is provided by members of our wider community. It was heart‐warming to see the children and adults working side by side to rebuild our gardens which have become an integral part of the social fabric of our school. It was also a fabulous reminder that organisa�ons like Bunnings value their connec�on to the communi�es they serve. We are very grateful to them for their involvement and support.

Thanks to a hear�elt le�er wri�en by student Amon Brown on behalf of our student body, Bunnings at South Tweed responded with great enthusiasm and incredible generosity.

Our children and their families also contributed funds during our Floral Friday ac�vi�es.

A team of five Bunnings employees arrived at school bright and early in a ute full to burs�ng with everything we could possibly need to get some new garden beds underway.

A HEARTFELT letter from a Murwillumbah East Primary School One of the other casual�es of the flood has been student addressed to Bunnings our children’s access to technology. We lost class Warehouse Tweed Heads, asking for some sets of laptop computers and purpose built help to restore the school’s garden project storage and charging cabinets. Fortunately, new laptops have arrived in our school and have been following the Tweed flood, resulted in set up ready for access in term 2. This will enable the company arriving with a truck load our senior students to resume their research and of stock and staff members to help last technology lessons, an essen�al skill in Thursday, June 29. prepara�on for high school.

Like many students, 11-year-old Amon Brown was devastated to learn that the

school’s community garden project had been washed away by the floods.

The school’s post-flood funding has been largely tied up with restoring classrooms and other damaged areas, which meant the www.murwillume-p.schools.nsw.edu.au garden remained on the to do list.

The youngster decided to write a letter to Bunnings asking if the company’s local store could help the students get their garden program back on track.

The garden includes a range of edibles such as herbs and vegetables that are maintained by the students.

A few weeks later and Bunnings sent a team of local staff and garden gurus, plus a truck load of stock, to help the school which is quickly getting back on its feet.

Amon said he was overjoyed with the support from the local Bunnings.

“I was so devastated by the floods and I thought I might write to Bunnings to see if they could help,” he said.

WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO HIDE??

The developer of the new “Mini City” at Kings Forest, near Kingscliff, was only given permission to develop if they PROMISED to do certain things to protect our Tweed Koalas.

Things like replanting the right trees in the right place, a 100

metre wildlife corridor and traffic calming measures, so our koalas can travel more safely.

Now the developer has permission to build, they want to break their word and back out of their commitment.

The Development Application Modification the developer was legally

obliged to print in a paper was written in print this small.

Team Koala thinks the community deserves to know what is going on, so we printed this.

AFTER 29-YEARS of dedicated service and being the friendly face of Bray Park Fuel & Mechanical, Mark Fendley has announced the fuel business has now sold.

But don’t worry the same traditional focus on “quality service with a smile” will remain with new owner Andrew (Andy) Pearson, who has worked closely with Mark.

Couple Mark and Trish Fendley (pictured above) will remain the freehold owners of the entire site, but Andy has purchased the fuel and retail business, while chief mechanic Tim Leigh has plans to buy the mechanical business.

Mark told The Weekly that he was proud of the high standard of service he introduced to the business almost 30 years ago, which includes one of region’s last fuel-pumping service.

“It’s been an amazing journey meeting so many people including our regular locals and visitors,” he said.

“We have a lot of elderly residents in the area, who really appreciate the extra mile we go as they don’t have the best mobility and they can just relax in the car while we pump

the fuel and get the anything they need from the retail store.”

Mark says he’s hanging up his fuel cap in exchange for an apron to help Trish with the iconic local Show ‘n Shine deli, next door to the fuel and mechanical.

The deli, which is also for sale, was opened in 2008 and has established a reputation for outstanding food, quality service as well as comfortable dine-in restaurant.

“I love to cook and joining Trish in the kitchen is really exciting for me,” he said.

“We’re also planning on introducing a whole new range of home cooked meals, to give our busy customers some more take away options that are wholesome and delicious.”

Mark said the couple had worked hard to capture the growth in housing around the area.

“Bray Park is growing around the area which is really driving the success of the business,” he said.

“And we believe as the area continues to grow, the deli, fuel and mechanical businesses are all well placed for the future.”

Passengers shaken after bird strike

PASSENGERS ABOARD AirAsia X flight D7207 from the Gold Coast to Kuala Lumpur were given a brief shock after a bird flew into the starboard engine forcing the plane to make an emergency landing at Brisbane Airport at around 10.20pm on Monday, July 3.

There were 345 passengers and 14 crew aboard the flight with no injuries reported.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) said that it was likely a plover had flown into the engine after the bird’s carcass was found on the runway with investigations continuing.

Passengers posted live photos and images of inside the plane describing their experience as “tense but calm” and later praised AirAsia X staff.

Several witnesses said flames were seen coming from the rear of the failed engine and that several loud bangs were heard.

A spokesperson for the Gold Coast Airport said it was working with all involved stakeholders in regards to an investigation into the incident.

“Passenger safety is of paramount importance to Gold Coast Airport,” the media statement reads.

“Gold Coast Airport has developed and implemented an extensive wildlife management program.

“The airport also has a long-standing relationship with a leading bird strike management specialist, providing technical advice and assistance in active management of wildlife at the airport.”

AirAsia X CEO Benyamin Ismail said all passengers were flown to Kuala Lumpur as soon as possible, despite several complaints that connecting flights were not immediately communicated to passengers.

“We are following all regulatory guidelines to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our guests,” he said in the statement.

“We would like to commend our pilot and crew members for their professionalism and swift action to reassure passengers who were on board flight D7 207 and to land the aircraft safely in Brisbane airport.”

Retirement plans for Thomas George MEMBER FOR Lismore and Nationals Party MP Thomas George has announced his retirement from politics at the March 2019 State Government election, following a political career spanning more than two decades.

Mr George has held the Lismore seat since 1999 and told The Weekly that he will be turning 70 at the next election and felt that was a good time to step aside.

“There’s 21 months to go – but who’s counting,” he said.

"It has been a great honour to serve the people of the Lismore electorate.

“At the next election, I will be turning 70, and I felt it was time to step aside to give another, maybe a younger candidate a go, but I would also like to spend more time with the family.”

While Mr George said he had a lot more work to do between now and March 2019,

Member for Lismore Thomas George

he outlined some of his efforts thus far, specifically in Murwillumbah.

“I’m proud of the work done on the Murwillumbah Hospital plan, as well as improving paediatrics and improvements to the emergency department,” he said.

He also highlighted achievements in areas such as the Murwillumbah Showground Trust and working hard on the Tweed Shire Rail Trail project.

“There also the work being done to sure up education in Murwillumbah,” he said.

“I want to continue to work with Murwillumbah’s two high schools to determine the best way forward and where they want to go.

“We have funding in the budget to improve education, but it also raises the question is there a need for two high schools in Murwillumbah.”

Mr George said he’s also been a strong advocate for sport across the electorate, developing sporting facilities including at Tyalgum, Uki and Chillingham.

Mr George won the 2015 State Government election by less than 0.5 per cent on a twoparty preferred basis with the Nationals 50.23 per cent to Labor's 49.77 per cent.

Meanwhile, the NSW Nationals will launch a community pre-selection in November this year to determine the next candidate to contest the seat.

North Coast Nationals MLC Ben Franklin said the party felt with an "open seat" it was a timely opportunity to open up the preselection process to all.

Mr George said he would not be playing favourites, but instead the nominations were open to anyone and would allow the community a chance to select their preferred candidate.

All members of the public who are enrolled to vote in the Lismore electorate will be invited to cast a ballot on November 18.

Nominations opened on Friday, June 30 and will close Friday, August 11.

SALT VILLAGE has added a taste of France this week with the opening of Toowong's renowned French Patisserie.

The French Patisserie will add to the multicultural dining scene at Salt Village, which is already home to Thai, Italian and Modern Australian cuisine, alongside the beachside Salt Bar, which has recently undergone a $750,000 renovation.

The French Patisserie was originally established in Toowong in 1984 by three French brothers, before being bought by the Gravestein family, who will continue to own and operate both stores.

Salt Village's patisserie will offer artisan bread, pastries and French desserts inspired by the same original recipes created 33 years ago, along with freshly made coffee and a dedicated 'wedding nook' to cater for bridal events and the design of custom wedding cakes.

The delicacies will be baked on site by French pastry chefs Anthony Steele, who has worked in the Toowong store for a decade, and Quentin Jouvenaux, who is relocating to the Tweed Coast from France.

French Patisserie General Manager Louis Gravestein says the decision to move in to Salt Village was made during a recent family holiday.

"My family has holidayed at Salt Village for the past seven years and we love the area.

Last year we saw signage for a retail space and we realised it would be a perfect fit for us, with its proximity to the beach, beautiful parks and three resorts," he said.

"Salt Village has a fantastic ambience and it attracts a great mix of people, from local residents through to holidaymakers from right across the country - especially those travelling for a wedding or honeymoon.

Salt Village developer Tom Ray, director of Ray Group, says the retail precinct is proving popular with experienced restaurateurs from Brisbane, Byron Bay and the Gold Coast.

"Ray Group has actively searched for

boutique operators who are among the best in their business to create a unique and vibrant restaurant precinct at Salt Village," he said.

"There are no franchise food offerings here, only independently owned restaurants backed by some of the best talent in South East Queensland, like Fins Restaurant, which is owned by hatted chef Steven Snow.

"We are currently working with a successful Japanese restaurant which has been established for more than 30 years on the Gold Coast, and is now considering the final tenancy in our retail village for its second store."

Mr Ray says part of Salt Village's appeal is its authenticity and loyalty to local producers.

"The Salt Bar has just had a major makeover and during that process we have reached out to local farmers, local brewing companies and boutique wineries with the aim of sourcing as much food and drink as possible from within 100km of the pub," he said.

"This week the Salt Bar will launch a new mid year menu and we will soon be installing new kids meal and dessert offerings to complement the on site playground for kids.

performance, offering an all-encompassing blend of physical and psychological health.

The impact on his staff and business culture according to Mr Wass, has been ”…positive beyond all expectations.”

Since the initiative began the sessions have grown, with most of the staff now enjoying the services and their benefits. A multitude of techniques and approaches (such as ice baths, psychological care, massage and meditation) make the experiences consistently challenging and growth inspiring.

“The brands that will thrive in the coming years are the ones that have a purpose beyond profit.” – SIR RICHARD BRANSON THIS APPROACH to business makes sense for most of us, and is being adopted more and more by businesses around Australia – and not just the larger corporations. Jamie Wass, Dealer Principle at Cricks Tweed has made it his mission to make the workplace more than a place of work. And the benefits are there for everyone to enjoy.

This year, inspired by his own journey, Mr Wass recruited the services of The Corporate Garage to work with his management team.

Based on the Gold Coast, The Corporate Garage offers a unique approach to staff care that aims to promote optimum health and

The staff members who have embraced the initiative have experienced a number of positive benefits.

• Increased energy levels, strength and mobility • Reduction in old, chronically painful injuries

• Increased Positivity • Improved team relationships and cooperation • Improved initiative, creativity, and goals for the future • A happier workplace • Experiencing FUN at work From a business perspective, the results have been astonishing. Sales have reached a record high while customer feedback is streaming in positive. These results offer the team at Cricks Tweed greater opportunities to pass on more discounts and improved approaches to customer service.

Andrew Baines, Ross Armour and Lisa Miller make up the core team of The Corporate Garage. The trio bring a broad range of professional experience and qualifications to the table, including psychology, strength and conditioning, animal movement coaching, nutrition, massage, meditation and breath work.

“Working with Jamie and his team has been a fantastic experience. The whole team has transformed. It has been inspiring for us all! Most encouraging of all is seeing the growing number of participants, we even have some family members involved and the developed feeling of camaraderie is strong.”

The sense of purpose that Cricks Tweed has generated is strong but goes even further than the staff care services. The Corporate Garage also run an initiative which aims to provide more accessible psychological and physical services to people with significant challenges in life. Inspired by the experience with The Corporate Garage, and driven by his desire to share with the community, Dealer Principal, Mr Wass and the rest of the staff have come on board and created

a purpose-built space at Cricks Tweed.

This facility allows The Corporate Garage team to provide psychological support and physical training in a safe and encouraging environment for people who really need but can rarely afford professional support such as this.

Studies have shown that properly designed wellness programs can deliver significant benefits, with an average rate of return between 2:1 and 5:1 for every dollar spent on staff care services.

Family appeal to find stolen motorbike A MURWILLUMBAH family is appealing for help to locate and retrieve a Honda motorbike with sentimental value that was stolen from their property recently.

The family is offering a “no questions asked” $5000 reward for the Honda CRF 450 (pictured), which belonged to the family’s late son.

A total of three Honda motorbikes were stolen from the property.

“Everyone please keep an eye out for this motorbike some low life has stolen it from my mum and dad’s house and what hurts the most is it’s my brother’s, who has past away,” a social media post reads.

“Along with this bike 3 other Honda CRFs have been taken, a 250, a 70 and a 50.

“There is a $5000-dollar reward for the return of this bike, it means the world to us

it’s one of the only things we have left of my brothers.

“The sentimental value on this bike is unbelievable. No questions asked we just want it back.”

Anyone with information about the bike(s), which was last seen in the Murwillumbah area is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Amazing gelato comes to Murwillumbah

GELATO HAS been the talk of the town lately with the opening of the scrumptious gelato pop-up shop at the Imperial Hotel in Murwillumbah on Fridays and Saturdays from 3pm to 9pm.

The shop, Gelato & Co, is owned and operated by Gabrielle Nardi (pictured) who purchased the business in October 2016.

Although new to the world of Gelato, Gabrielle has been quick to educate herself in the fine Italian art by enlisting the help of ice cream connoisseurs.

“The business was previously called Cow & Milk and had used some sweeteners to create the gelato product,” she said.

“I wanted to learn the gelato process from scratch so I could develop new flavours and expand my skills.”

After months of training and paying for advanced courses under some of the best gelato makers in the business, Gabrielle has emerged with a gelato range and skillset that will blow your mind.

“I wanted to make top quality gelato by avoiding sweeteners and instead learning about the delicate balance between water and sugars and how they are combined to create top quality gelato,” she said.

“And the response has been amazing, I’m now developing a red wine gelato for a restaurant at Palm Beach.”

She hopes to eventually open a semi-permanent location

in Murwillumbah pending a development application with Tweed Shire Council.

“We’re still working on the business opening permanently with the Imperial Hotel owner and Council, but we’re also taking orders for functions, weddings and wholesale,” she said.

Not previously having a background in gelato, Gabrielle has drawn on her retail experience in her family’s swimming pool business.

“We owned and operated the Palm Beach swimming pool for many years, so my background is not in gelato,” she said.

Gabrielle is also the daughter of an Australian sporting legend Michael Wenden who is a former champion swimmer and represented Australia in the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico and 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.

In 1968, he won four medals including Gold in both the 100-metre and 200-metre freestyle (setting world records in each) and a silver and a bronze in freestyle relays.

Gabrielle says she hopes to help make Murwillumbah an arts and food hub.

“I think with the number of amazing restaurants and venues across Murwillumbah, I would love to help contribute to the high standard.”

To find out more about Gelato & Co phone Gabrielle on: 0414 368 250.

Two Kingscliff businesses named dementia friendly

THE TWEED Dementia Friendly Steering Committee has announced two Kingscliff businesses Maddi and Lil Boutique and Kingscliff Beach Bowling Club as the first businesses in the shire to be officially accredited as dementia-friendly.

The steering committee said both organisations had committed to incorporating dementia-­ friendly principles into their environments and service procedures, to improve accessibility and inclusiveness for people living with dementia and their carers.

The initiative is part of the Alzheimer’s Australia NSW Liveable Communities Program, which saw the Tweed Dementia-­Friendly Steering Committee launched in August 2016.

The Committee comprises people living with dementia, carers, services, individuals and church representatives.

Members of this Committee conducted site visits with the two businesses, providing feedback about changes that could be made in order to become more dementia-­friendly.

Both businesses subsequently committed to making alterations to their physical environments and providing dementia-­awareness training for staff, which obtained them the dementia-­friendly tick of approval.

Maddi and Lil Boutique owner Denise Singleton said she is proud the business is taking such action.

“We are excited that we are able to make these changes and do our bit to improve the experience of people living with dementia and their carers,” Denise said.

John Henley, carer of wife Barbara Henley who is living with dementia, said boutique staff offer extra time, patience and assistance to people managing the challenges dementia presents.

“From my perspective as a male carer, they make me feel comfortable and look after Barbara really well,” said John.

Greg Follett, Operations Manager at the Kingscliff Beach Bowling Club said being able to help people in the community feel happy and safe is rewarding.

“We have been making our club available to people with dementia for some time and it’s great to get this recognition.

We are looking forward to the Club making changes to its signage which will improve understanding and support people with dementia to find their ways around,” Greg said.

60 years generates over 20 million community dollars Twin Towns marks a milestone 60th birthday by celebrating more than simple bricks and mortar. Six decades of giving has injected almost $21 million back into the community.

cation, keeps entertainment and attractions current and continuously updates its infrastructure, has been key to the Club’s success,” said Twin Towns Chairman Michael Fraser.

This history of giving dates back to inception when the Club, with a handful of members, had just a few pounds and shillings to spare.

Founding principles demanded what could would go to the community. It did.

“A resilient and viable club generates a strong financial position and this enables Twin Towns to provide ongoing support and financial assistance to the local community.

Twin Towns today boasts some 40,000 members and two million visitors a year. This is thanks in no small part to Boards of Directors, past and present, and their focus on reinventing and re-energising the Club and its facilities to keep people coming back.

“Ensuring Twin Towns adapts to change, continues its long-term strategy of growth and diversifi-

“Twin Towns’ success over the past 60 years is the result of decades of business-savvy, forward-thinking Boards and Club Management teams who have shaped the Club into what it is today.”

Every year, the club receives and processes hundreds of requests for assistance. Helping local kids in need has always been the priority.

Twin Towns’ Board of Directors,

working through the Community Foundation and ClubGRANTS, assess the requests, relying on contacts at community organisations for advice and assistance.

Directors visit the premises of applicant organisations, meet managers and staff and attend functions, events and meetings.

“Many local beneficiaries have become our friends,” said Chair of the Twin Towns Donations Committee and Deputy Chair of Twin Towns, Brian Brown.

“They are people within the community who are strong advocates for Twin Towns and have no hesitation in applauding its role in helping out.”

Organisations that support children and adults with disabilities, pre-schools, primary schools, surf club nippers, junior sports

Shaping more outcomes Twin Towns Services Community Foundation has donated $20,000 to help children with disabilities and their families as they prepare for the transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme in July.

Shaping Outcomes Management Committee President Colin Usher, NDIS planner Ruth Usher, son Israel and daughter Eden.

Shaping Outcomes, delivering support and services to children and families in the Tweed since 1981, will use the grant to help 10 or more vulnerable children and their families apply for funding.

Family members can spend up to 30 hours preparing, collating and gathering the evidence required

www.twintowns.com.au | Ph: 07 5536 2277

for the application. However, the challenges of raising children with disabilities mean these families are often the most time poor.

The NDIS, the largest healthcare reform in Australia since the introduction of Medicare, will result in enormous change for the families of children with disabilities.

The grant will also help 45 children who are ineligible for NDIS funding, move into community programs.

“It takes a special group of people who not only care, but care

clubs, palliative care centres, aged care, youth centres and many more have shared grants totalling $20,975,920.39.

Pivotal to Twin Towns success is its members whose fees, patronage, involvement with sports, social clubs and the RSL Sub-Branch all contribute.

“Without members, there would be no Club. The Twin Towns border landmark would not exist, nor would there be around a million dollars every year to help our local community organisations.

“Members should be proud to know their Club is out there in the community on their behalf, helping local organisations introduce new programs, build new facilities, create new and much-needed community services and cater for more people who need their help,” he said.

enough to act and create change for their community,” said Shaping Outcomes Community Relations Manager Amber Thorley.

“The members of Twin Towns Services Community Foundation have demonstrated their commitment to act and make change for the children and families of the Tweed community year after year.

“The Shaping Outcomes family is incredibly thankful for the support we receive from the Twin Towns Foundation. It makes the delivery of services possible, ensuring no child who needs help misses out.

Twin Towns has been on standby for Shaping Outcomes for almost 30 years, providing ongoing assistance, financial and in-kind, and lending a helping hand when needed.

Twin Towns recognises that without this service, many local families would have no support or advice to help them understand their situation, nor improve quality of life and the future learning potential of their child.

Without the ongoing support of Twin Towns over many years, Shaping Outcomes would have been unable to expand or cope with the demands of the Tweed’s growing population.

ISSUE 480, July 2017 | 1

CLUBNEWS www.twintowns.com.au BOARD CHAIRMAN’S REPORT From humble beginnings to achieving 60 years, Twin Towns is still going strong.

“If you always do what you have always done you always get what you have always had.”

From 1933, Coolangatta Tweed Heads RSL Sub-Branch and the Greenmount Surf Club established a huge Marquee on the Tweed River foreshore where they ran fundraising games of Housie (Bingo), Lucky Envelopes and Unders and Overs, from which revenues raised meant both clubs prospered.

The Sub-Branch managed to put away £7,500 towards their first RSL Hall. Mick Winders at that time was a member of the RSL Sub-Branch and Treasurer of Greenmount Surf Club.

Alf Thomas from Bilambil was credited with the idea of establishing a Licensed RSL Club and meanwhile the RSL Sub-Branch negotiated and was granted land on the foreshore of the Tweed River fronting the Queensland border.

The initial application to obtain a Club Licence failed due to the government determination to only allow two licences in the Northern Rivers area, both of which had already been taken up. At this time, a motion was passed to construct the new Memorial Hall on land fronting Boundary Street and Navigation Lane at a cost of £20,000.

Alf Thomas stood down as President of the Sub-Branch in late 1947 and the visionary Mick Winders was elected as President in January 1948. There was talk about the government considering issuing more Club licences so the Twin Towns Services Club constitution was drawn up and approved by 46 members in the original Memorial Hall in September 1950.

As predicted, in 1955 the government expanded the number of Club licences with Twin Towns Services Club, led by Mick Winders, along with Tweed Heads Bowls Club represented by Abb Hutton, successful in obtaining licences in the Murwillumbah Court consecutively.

The new Memorial Hall was completed in February 1957 on Portion 507 at a cost of £31,000 by the Groves Bros of Murwillumbah.

The new Twin Towns Services Club purchased two one-shilling poker machines and one 2-shilling machine, a far cry from the 900 in operation today at an average $25,000 each.

Three new machines and 20 dozen glasses were purchased with a bank loan of £1,000 guaranteed

by RH Baker, WO Dobson, RH Richardson, G Hunt, J Orbansen and HG Winders. Beer prices were

ISSUE 480, July 2017

set at 9 pence for a 5oz glass, 1 shilling a 7oz glass, 1 shilling and 4 pence for 10oz and 1 shilling 11 pence for 15ozs.

At 7.30pm on 12 July 1957, Twin Towns Services Club opened for business with 207 members.

After a very successful first year of operations the club had £8,000 in the bank so time to expand, reinvent, reinvest and provide for members.

In 1959, pending state elections had a major party threatening to ban poker machines which would have finished the infant Twin Towns Services Club. Not much has changed in 60 years.

In 1963, Tweed Shire Council offered the Club freehold land in front of the existing building for £20,000 and the Board couldn’t sign up quickly enough.

At the time, the Services Club lent the Sub-Branch £20,000 so they could purchase the land.

In effect, the Sub-Branch owned all the land and buildings even though the Services Club built and paid for them.

Later Mick Winders arranged for the Services Club to purchase outright all the land and buildings from the Sub-Branch for $1.8 million dollars, including $750,000 to be paid in instalments over 31 years ensuring the financial viability of the Sub-Branch.

Both committees agreed and the deal was done. The roles of tenant and landlord were reversed.

Another strategic move by Mick.

Steve Trotter Architect from Fulton, Collin and Co was contracted to design the new circular designed Club building and the Board supported this innovative design concept. Mick Winders was involved in building the ‘First Club’, the Greenmount Surf Club, the Bilinga Fire Station and the Hospital and was known to have a real eye for detail.

The new circular building cost $393,287 covered by a loan of $180,000 completed in September 1968. The first full trading year saw a surprising turnover of over $1,000,000 which silenced all the sceptics, so back to the drawing board for more extensions. Interesting to note that 10 years later in 1979, the Club’s turnover had increased to $13.4 million.

After much negotiating, the Club purchased one acre of land adjoining their current location from the Lands Department for $235,000, with an extra $15,000 paid for an Olympic Pool for the people of the Tweed. The pool was never built.

Once the plans for the new extensions were completed and the 350 car spaces eventually negotiated by a rather

argumentative Tweed Shire Council, all that was left to sort was a loan of $1.7 million, a huge sum at that time when the club only had 900 members.

There were always thoughts of a members’ sporting club which followed a question in general business at an earlier AGM. A billiard table and a table tennis table led to internal Social Clubs of golf and bowls, utilising other local Club’s facilities.

An offer of eight acres of land adjacent to the old zoo location in Ducat Street containing a disused Olympic pool with plenty of room for other sports, bowls etc, was a great start. The State Government added a further two acres to this for a negotiated $500,000 in total.

Further opportunity for a sports complex came about in late 1976 when John Baker of Besef Properties made an offer of 95 acres of land in Banora to be utilised for a golf course which was deferred due to other major building commitments.

Steve Trotter’s plans for a sevenlevel new club were finally approved by the regulators and the Board. The new building extensions were opened in August 1978. The principle for the seven story (cotton reels) extension hasn’t varied a great deal over the last 40 odd years, although there have been some major diversified renovations.

From a new vastly improved entry from Wharf Street to a defined gaming area in support of our ‘Core Business’ of poker machines, a vastly improved catering level (two sittings, semi-formal with tie) including a reception bar area.

To establish the internationally recognised entertainment precinct, a truly Twin Towns phenomenon on the top floor was completed and a first of its kind International Showroom opened.

This space recognised Twin Towns for providing the world’s leading entertainers, doubling as a conference and meeting area, which has carried on today. Twin Towns has a standing rule that once a building is completed or extensions finalised, the official opening consists of just opening the doors.

During all these negotiations Mick Winders was awarded a well-deserved MBE by the Queen for services to the RSL and the community.

Association was commenced with an initial 40 bed hostel with a grant of $907,000 from the government.

It opened in 1989.

The second stage comprised of 30 self-contained villas, Winders Cottages, which was opened in 1992 with the final 27 units completed in 1996. Aged care facilities through regulation were becoming increasingly burdensome and inconsistent with the original intent.

Now landlocked with the economy of extensions unavailable, not to mention outside our ‘core’ business structure, in 2000 the Hostel Board chose to sell the project to RSL Care and commenced the Twin Towns Services Community Foundation charity to manage the funds from the sale to assist worthwhile charitable groups.

The members approved the take up of the Banora Land for a Sporting Club which was settled in 1978 along with an extra 40 acres from Bolster farms (142 acres in total) that squared away the block and the zoo land. Although considered for a hostel nursing home, it was relinquished later in 1987 for a handsome profit which assisted the Banora purchase.

Total cost for the Banora Land was $303,380. There were many dissenters regarding the peat swamp that was to become the sporting complex and many members believed purchasing the swamp was wasted money.

The Club’s membership was expanding at such a rapid rate that it became apparent that land for any future expansion was quickly drying up. Mick let it be known in political circles that the land across the highway comprising the Police Station, Court House and Motor Registry would be worth considering for Twin Towns for future expansion.

It was also anticipated that Queensland would eventually be granted poker machines so there was no time to waste and ironically, a Labor Government in 1991 legalised poker machines in Queensland after the Nationals were deposed.

Directed by Phil Stubbs, the Clerk of Petty Sessions sent two Government Property Officers to meet with the Chairman. The deal was the Club would buy the land,

construct new premises for the Police, Courts, Motor Registry and Gaol after which the Government would hand over the land to Twin Towns as freehold.

This was approved by the Premier, the Minister for Justice, the Minister for Public Works, Minister for Police and just to top it off, the Club had to work with the State Architects.

An amazing lesson in cooperation.

The new community buildings were officially handed over to the Government in January 1984.

The original land housing the Police, Courts and Motor Registry were handed over in an amazing swap deal and the Club gradually purchased the complete street to street site made up of the Tweed Heads Hotel, the Daily News Building, the Golden Fleece Service Station, re-purchased the first Memorial Hall and other properties, including the laneways to complete the block.

Cleared of most buildings, the amalgamated site became a most useful car park for some years. Twin Towns was no longer landlocked. The Hotel licence is still operating for the Mantra Hotel and 1st on Wharf under an existing Twin Towns use right.

The Twin Towns Sports Club (Club Banora) golf course fairways opened in 1985, the four bowling greens commenced operation in October 1984 with the ‘Old Tin Shed’ the first clubhouse (now the swimming hut) and following later, the Oasis Pools opened in March 1987. Finally, the tennis courts made up the sporting complex.

Twin Towns Services Club Sports Complex opened in September 1986 but only the ground floor level. The first floor remained a shell awaiting a fitout when demand required some years later.

Level 1 was completely fitted out and opened later in 1992. From a single borrowed billiard table, the Internal Social Clubs grew to cover 20 odd sub-clubs with 10,127 members with $160,000 gifted to assist these clubs in 1989.

Next part 2, Consolidation.

Good health to members, and enjoy the 60 years of history. I look forward to catching up around our clubs.

Michael Fraser

Another discussion that took place about this time was about the establishment of a hostel and nursing home for ex-diggers and their families both indirectly and directly through Legacy and other Welfare organisations.

Land generously offered by the Sanderson Private Trust located in Terranora was declared unsuitable by the office of Social Security, however, despite this, Sanderson was determined to follow his dream and made a cash donation of $249,000 with the sale of his land for the purpose of providing a facility for ex-servicemen and Legacy widows.

Six acres were purchased off Winders Place alongside the lake and Twin Towns Services Hostel

The Mazda MX-5 is an icon of the motoring world. More than a million of the plucky little convertibles have been sold since its introduction in 1989. Its popularity has even earned it a Guinness World Record, for the best-selling sports car in history.

Soon, you might have a shiny red MX-5 parked in your garage.

Time is running out to get your tickets in the draws and you must be a Twin Towns member to enter the promotion. There are two ways for members to get an entry ticket during the promotion period. Entry tickets will be issued at time of purchase.

Your first spend of the day at participating Twin Towns outlets (Flame Coffee Shop, Pizzeria, Bistro or Carvery; Breezes Bar, Harbour Bar, Images Bar and Coffee Shop, 1st on Wharf, Orient Bar or Signatures) will give you an entry ticket in the draw.

Artist Ian Tremewen rejuvenates his iconic mural at Twin Towns.

Twin Towns mural a life’s work Bilambil Heights artist Ian Tremewen is breathing new life into the twodecade-old mural of ocean, river and Bangalow rainforest he painted along 30m of Twin Towns wall facing Wharf Street.

“It’s a bigger job now than it was the first time, because the anti-graffiti treatment had to be sanded back before I get in there and paint.”

Nor do many artists get the chance to return to former artworks or work on their maintenance.

The first thing visitors see as they leave the Gold Coast and enter Tweed Heads, urban planners describe the 23-year-old work of art as a local icon.

Twin Towns commissioned the Gold Coast based Canadian to paint his first public artwork in 1994. The son of a commercial artist, Ian expected it might last a decade before it was painted over bit by bit.

In 2006, the artwork was damaged during cleaning. Twin Towns commissioned the artist for the retouch.

A decade on, Ian returns to give the work a major facelift so it will look its best when visitors land for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games™.

“It’s a great thing to see a company like Twin Towns take responsibility for a public work of art. It’s a true act of philanthropy.”

South Australian paint company Solver donated the paint for the project. mural well may spot tiny changes.

“Nothing radical. It’s all in keeping with the original design. I might have changed some colours to keep things fresh. It’s my artwork so I think why not? I want it to look excellent.”

Ian’s mural featured on the cover of the 1994 Twin Towns Annual Report, shortly after its completion.

Ian worked behind a wall of hessian to paint the mural in the 1990s.

Now, he works without a screen.

At the time, Ian commented: “This mural is an interpretation of our environment. It features the ocean, the river and the rainforests with their shapes, colours, patterns and textures. These are all parts of where we live.”

joining the Swimming Club. The Swimming Club’s Committee at the time encouraged him to put his hand up for the Board.

In 2007, the role of Twin Towns Chairman passed from Tony Mitchell to Michael Fraser, who became only the third chairman in the Club’s 60 year history (Mick Winders 35 years; Tony Mitchell 15 years).

“I saw it as an opportunity to put something back into something I got a lot out of,” said Michael, “So I did and have been there for 36 years, 10 as Chairman.”

When elected, Michael had been a member of the Twin Towns Board of Management for 25 years. He had no plans to be Chairman and was shocked when Tony Mitchell announced his resignation just before the 2007 Annual General Meeting.

The transition was smooth, however, and Michael was eminently suited to the role.

Michael first got involved with Twin Towns through catching up with friends at the bar and

Michael said that one of the best aspects of his role as Board Chairman has been seeing the club grow over the past three and a half decades. He credits the Club’s success to a fabulous management team and a tremendous group of Directors, whom he says are the most qualified in the history of Twin Towns.

“Many Directors have come and

The Governor-General and Chancellor of the Order of Australia, His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Retd), announced The Queen’s Birthday 2017 Honours List in June, which included Twin Towns Snooker Club’s Des Turner.

While Des’s award was for services to the sport of “Snooker”, that single word covered a multilayered contribution to the sports of snooker and billiards in two states over a very long period of time.

Until this year, Des had served as President of the Twin Towns Snooker Club for more than 30 years.

In addition, for many years he led the Far North Coast (NSW) Snooker Association, involving clubs at Twin Towns, Byron Bay, Lismore, Casino and Kyogle, promoting the sport throughout the region.

He remains active in that association

There are always new ideas being discussed around the Boardroom table and always a new project on the drawing board. Maintaining Twin Towns’ reputation as New South Wales preeminent club is, as always, paramount to the Board of Management.

For his club efforts, Des was made a life member of the Twin Towns Snooker Club and last year, for his work at state level, was made a life member of the Queensland Billiards and Snooker Association.

On the day of the announcement of his award, despite the round of handshakes, congratulatory messages and backslaps, Des was back in his usual place to officiate as referee in the final of the Northern Rivers tournament.

Always ready to do what it takes to advance the sport, Des has taken every opportunity over the years to encourage others to take up the sport and protect and preserve its standing in the community.

Michael believes the time is fast approaching for the Club to welcome its first female Board Director.

“In 60 years, there have only ever been three female nominees for a position on the Board, none of which were successful at the time.

“Over 46 percent of Twin Towns’ membership is now female so we hope to see more Board nominations from our qualified female members, perhaps in time for the next Annual General Meeting in 2018.”

Michael has been a Director of ClubsNSW since 2009, including Director of Keno. He is also a member of ClubsNSW Club Director’s Institute for Continuing Professional Development and regularly attends conferences to keep abreast of governance issues and regulatory changes.

Announcing the honours, Governor-General said: “Since 1975, these awards have helped to define, encourage and reinforce Australian goals and values.

“Their qualities – compassion, dedication, generosity, selflessness, tolerance, and energetic ambition inspire and motivate us.”

“Twin Towns’ philosophy of continued growth and diversity is as important to our Board as it was to Mick Winders and his team in the early days, and look how far Mick took the Club during his tenure.

Signatures launches a stylish new menu Signatures latest menu is receiving rave reviews, and Executive Chef Lloyd Cremer says the introduction of more fresh, local, seasonal produce to the dishes has been key to its success.

“We source only the best possible ingredients from the markets for all the dishes on Signatures’ new menu.

“As seasons change, we will adapt some of the ingredients to ensure produce is as fresh as it can be, rather than having travelled hundreds of miles or been stored for lengthy times in suppliers’ coldrooms.

Mint Fireball Grasshopper

Strawberry & Lychee Sorbet

Breezes Cocktails Shaken, stirred or on the rocks, Breezes’ new $10 cocktails combine the freshest, seasonal ingredients with top shelf liquors and spirits.

Crafted by a talented young crew of mixologists, Breezes cocktails throw a contemporary spin on old classics and pour punch and passion into refreshingly new, ‘ontrend’ creations.

Twin Towns Beverage Operations Manager Rafael Caetano said one of the most exciting aspects of the new Breezes cocktail list is that it gave all staff the opportunity to be involved.

“The staff were the ones that gave us the idea. They knew what people requested the most, enjoyed the most and have collaborated with our management to come up with a list that is funky, contemporary and colourful.

cocktail bars in major cities in Australia.

“We plan to keep reinventing the list as time goes on and will offer a Cocktail of the Month, which again will be ‘staff’s choice’.

“They are passionate about cocktails and want to see Breezes become known as one of the best cocktail bars on the Southern Gold Coast and Tweed, or even the entire Gold Coast.

“The potential is there, the staff are enthusiastic and passionate, and we’re sure members and visitors to the Club will embrace our cocktail list, especially at a price that is affordable to all.

Rafael said that similar cocktails with premium spirits at other bars and venues would cost more than double the price of cocktails in Breezes.

“They were also hands-on in concocting the recipes and ingredients, taste-testing and finetuning, a job they were all more than happy to be involved in.”

Signatures has had a modern makeover, with floor to ceiling drapes, pendant lighting and mosaic tile features adding to the ambience of the resort-style restaurant.

Signatures opens for dinner from 5.30pm to 9pm on Friday and Saturday nights.

Two courses at Signatures are $45; three courses $55 per person.

Book and pay at least 48 hours prior to dining to receive $5 off.

A trendy new range of classic and contemporary glassware and mugs to complement the cocktails has also been introduced in Breezes.

Rafael said the use of premium spirits and mixers, combined with quality ingredients and presentation style, is as good as you would find in any of the top

“We wanted to give everyone the opportunity to give them a try and we know they will be suitably impressed,” said Rafael.

“Regulars will notice we have taken some of their favourite dishes from previous Signatures’ menus and enhanced and refreshed their taste and appeal, as well as their presentation,” said Lloyd.

His talents have influenced some of the biggest names in showbiz, among them Dave Chappelle.

During one Sydney festival visit, he impressed during an appearance on Channel 9’s The Footy Show. Its hosts crowned him the ‘best act ever’ to appear on the show.

Woods, a Comedy Central favourite, has appeared on shows including Last Comic Standing, Showtime at the Apollo, Just for

Laughs, Late Night with Conan O’Brien and HBO’s Comedy Spot.

He is joined at Twin Towns by Australia’s Cam Knight, who emcees the two-hour show.

Sundays are fundays at Club Banora Families are invited to the outdoor playground at Club Banora for free Family Kids Days every Sunday from 12 noon to 3pm, with arts and craft, fun and games, putt putt, face-painting and more.

Children of all ages are welcome.

On the first Sunday of the month, Club Banora invites some special guests to keep the kids entertained.

Herman’s Hermits

Kids can come along on Sunday 2 July to see the animal antics of Harry Horse and Mikey Monkey, two loveable, larger-than-life funsters who love nothing more than creating mischief and mayhem.

Herman’s Hermits, a British rock band that were at the birth of the UK’s Cool Britannia movement, will return to Australia for a new tour that lands at Twin Towns in early August.

On Sunday 6 August, Pirate Pete and Danny Dog will keep the laughs rolling in Club Banora’s outdoor playground between noon and 3pm.

The act was one of three British acts that became household names in the 1960s. The others were

The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Born in Manchester England, on 1 April 1964, the group chalked up record sales of more than 75 million, 23 hit singles, 10 albums, three major movies, countless TV shows and concert tours.

Frontman Peter Noone left in 1971 to pursue a solo

career. Now led by drummer Barry ‘The Bean’ Whitwam, the Hermits remain one of the hardest working bands in showbiz today, averaging 150 shows a year and touring schedule that visits Germany, Belgium, Holland, Scandinavia, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand as well as the act’s native UK.

Fans turn out in droves to singalong to golden oldies like Mrs Brown You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter, Silhouettes, Dandy and Henry VIII. Herman’s Hermits: Friday 4 August in the Twin Towns Showroom, tickets $35.

Show and stay at Mantra Twin Towns for $305.

CLUBNEWS www.twintowns.com.au

Early days of Keno Winders was openly passionate about his club, Twin Towns, and consistent in his call to members. As the 80s came to a close, he asked members to adopt the slogan: “What can I put into the Club?” He asked them to “forget the one that goes: What can I get out of the Club?”

Winders also warned that the period ahead had its problems – the possibility of a new taxation system on gaming machine turnover and the imminent legislation of gaming machines in Queensland among his main concerns.

He also envisaged an exciting period for Twin Towns, and as he normally did in the gloom, he preached the positives.

The degree of improvements and new projects already proposed for the next decade was invigorating and gave all around Winders both a sense of achievement and a confidence in the future.

But it was the expectation of Keno that excited Winders most at this time.

Despite intense lobbying from the RCA (now known as ClubsNSW), the Government rejected the industry’s plan to implement Club Keno for Clubs in 1986 in favour of a government-run Keno operation at one city location – the Darling Harbour Casino.

The late John Whittle, President of The Registered Clubs Association of NSW from 1984 until 1990, understood as much as anyone the benefits this would provide for smaller clubs.

He spent much of the next three years pushing the Club Keno agenda and forced his way far enough through the bureaucratic red tape for the incumbent Labor government to at least commit to its introduction.

However, Labor was voted out of power at the March 1988 elections in favour of Nick Greiner’s Liberal team, who had agreed to support the Keno proposals. In 1989, the government legislated for Keno’s introduction.

While some club managers doubted its merits, the RCA trialled the game in 13 Newcastle clubs before it officially started in September 1991.

Twin Towns’ share of the commission in 1991 was $57,224 with members showing, as reported in the Club’s Annual Report, “a general interest…. but it has not as yet reached the heights expected of it, but it is still early days… some members have had good wins which is encouraging.”

The following year, the first full year of revenue from the game, Twin Towns’ take had more than quintupled to $293,707.

The year 1991 would be the last for the man recognised as the visionary who developed the Twin Towns model, Mick Winders. He was there in 1957 on the first day pulling the first beers – as a tribute to the role he played in securing the Club’s liquor licence – and he was comfortable, though not in the best of health, with the remarkable development he saw before him as he walked out the door for the last time as Chairman.

Keno was being played in the bars at Twin Towns; Winders was happy about that.

Twin Towns’ biggest Keno payout in its history was a $2,346,668 ten-spot jackpot win on a quikpik ticket at Twin Towns Juniors in November 2015.

Twin Towns Duty Manager Leanne Hayward was on hand to process the winning ticket and said it was a momentous moment, especially for the winner, and also the staff.

Work is underway on two new restaurants at Twin Towns.

Step up to Gusti d’Italia & Harbour Fresh Work is underway on two new restaurants at Twin Towns, located on the Mezzanine Level at Flame.

Twin Towns will soon offer diners two new restaurants – Gusti Italia and Harbour Fresh – adding to its current dining options, Flame, Signatures, 1st on Wharf and Orient.

Both new restaurants will offer full table service, along with a distinctly different cuisine, theme and social dining experience.

A striking feature of the restaurants will be their intimate atmosphere.

Full table service and the contemporary menus will be a step-up from traditional club fare, unlike any other Club restaurant on the Tweed.

Gusti d’Italia brings the authentic tastes of Italy to Twin Towns.

Italian pasta, hand-made in the restaurant and served with a choice of classic or contemporarystyle sauces, will be the specialty at this sleek new dining space.

The open-to-view pasta-making area will allow diners to see the chefs at work, and watch their pasta creations come to life. Fresh pasta will also be available in take-

home packs, along with sauces.

This distinctly innovative initiative will allow diners to taste-test the Italian cuisine and/or take home some supplies to share with family and friends.

Gusti d’Italia will also serve other favourite Italian dishes, such as pizzas and risottos and handmade breads.

The décor in Gusti d’Italia will feature an authentic mix of honest, rustic materials with an industrial edge, recreating the ambience and liveliness of an inviting Italian eatery.

Harbour Fresh will bring the freshest, local seafood from the trawlers to your plate. This longawaited seafood restaurant at Twin Towns is sure to become a members’ favourite for special occasions or celebrations.

colours and materials combining whitewashed timbers, splashes of aqua blue, brass accents and natural textures.

Along with the two restaurants, a dessert bar called Bliss will bring quality sweet treats and chocolate-fuelled gastronomic delights to the new area. As well as a chocolate ‘delicatessen’, Bliss will serve a range of decadent desserts including gelatos, cheesecakes, tortes and gateaux.

The $2 million restaurant project will cater for around 135 diners at Twin Towns; 85 in Gusti and 50 in Harbour Fresh.

Both restaurants are due for completion in late September.

The menu in Harbour Fresh will satisfy the traditionalist and excite the most passionate of foodies.

Fresh local-caught fish, prawns and oysters will star on the menu, which will also include steaks and other popular dishes.

The décor in Harbour Fresh will offer a refreshing coastal palette of

Dining evolution at Twin Towns Twin Towns’ 60 years success story is one of constant evolution.

Invention and reinvention pave the way for new ideas and initiatives, while makeovers refresh, providing contemporary spaces where members and regular visitors can always find something fresh and new.

As a not-for-profit community club, Twin Towns directs profits back into the community while reinvesting in services, facilities and infrastructure.

The Board’s aim is to ensure the Club remains robust, and longevity

www.twintowns.com.au | Ph: 07 5536 2277

assured, through changing economic climates. Profitability across all platforms ensures Twin Towns is in the financial position to support community organisations and charities that need a helping hand.

One area where the Club has changed over the decades is dining.

Remember when ties were mandatory attire at Reflections Restaurant; or the days of the Snack Bar, when 50 to 100 people queued along hallways as 1000-strong Morning Melody audiences travelled from

auditorium downstairs to lunch?

What a long way the Club has come in relation to dining.

Over the years, Twin Towns has researched and adapted to changes in dining trends and food preferences.

Fresh, healthy, light and nutritious are buzzwords and Twin Towns menus reflect this. Still, many love to indulge when dining out and there’s something for them too.

Dessert bar anyone?

Twin Towns has something for everyone, and a new dessert bar is just around the corner

Members’ Memories & Memoirs Speaking with members during a trip around the Club uncovers decades of memories of good times shared with friends and family at Twin Towns.

Stephen Caine from Banora Point & Pamela O’Brien from Tweed Heads South, relaxing at Slice & Fork at Club Banora. Stephen joined the Club at 18 years of age and has now been a member for 51 years. He remembers well the days when as a child, his father took him to the ‘tin shed’ which was once Twin Towns. Pamela has been a member for six years.

Sunday morning tennis at Club Banora for Maggie Dodds, Helen Ebbott, Cath Dixon and Stephanie Edwards. Stephanie has been President of the Club Banora Tennis Club for the past seven years and a member for 30 years. She was on the first elected Committee of the tennis club in 1987. In September, the Tennis Club celebrates its 30th Birthday.

Only What I Remember Celebrating his 94th birthday at Twin Towns is Ron Baker OAM of Tweed Heads, one of only two remaining Foundation Members of Twin Towns, the other being Arthur Meteyard.

Ron, whose membership dates back to 1950, is considered a stalwart of Twin Towns, says Board Chairman Michael Fraser.

“If it wasn’t for people like Ron and other community-minded people, Twin Towns wouldn’t be what it is today,” said Michael.

Ron is one of what he calls the “Formation Foundation Members”, who organised the architecture and building of the Club in its early days.

“I was one of ‘Mick’s men,” he laughs, with reference to Twin Towns founding President, Mick Winders.

Celebrating 60 years is trending at Twin Towns! Christine Seigel and Ken Womersley from Banora Point joined Kevin Talbot for birthday drinks for Kevin’s 60th birthday. Kevin, from Hobart, visits the Coast at least three or four times a year.

Scott, Mel and daughter Mindy Ireland, aged 10, enjoy a family lunch in Flame at Twin Towns. Kids of all ages are always welcome to dine in Flame, which has large family-sized tables and a huge range of choices to keep every member of the family happy.

“Mick wanted me to go on the Board when it first formed back in the early years but I had a young family and couldn’t spare the time,” said Ron, a former builder.

The birthday celebration with around 60 family members and friends was an opportunity for Ron to launch his book, ‘Only What I Remember’.

He began handwriting his memoirs back in 2011, sharing stories from his childhood through to his experiences at war, serving on four destroyers including the HMAS Shropshire, and his life upon his return from overseas duty until now.

Happy Birthday Ron from all at Twin Towns and congratulations on the book; a remarkable achievement.

Sisters Edna Barrett and Elsa Stride from Banora Point enjoy a morning coffee in Flame at Twin Towns. Both say they have been members for ‘decades’, joining many years ago and then rejoining after spending 14 years in New Zealand.

Lyn and Jock Barclay from Hobart keep up their membership, even though they only spend three months each year on the Gold Coast. The couple leave the cold Tasmanian winter behind and head north to their holiday home in Kirra, and remember their visit during Twin Town’s 50th Anniversary celebrations a decade ago.

Barry Phillips and Barry Campbell, both from Robina, like to spend most Sundays at Twin Towns, watching the sport on the big screen and playing a game of Keno. Barry Campbell has been a member for 20 years.

Mother and daughter Michelle Wilcher from Gulmarrad and Adrienne Stillman from Yamba, enjoy spending time at Twin Towns when they travel north to the Tweed. Michelle has been a member of Twin Towns for seven years.

Roof for Regent terrace

Talking

FILMS th Mia

THE REGENT Cinema Murwillumbah is in the process of covering the iconic terrace space on the upper level with a new roof that should be completed this month.

Planning has been underway for months and work started last week.

The cinema business owners, Ken and Mia Rippin, are excited to be able to now plan ahead for events utilising the terrace.

“The cinema terrace has recently become a very popular location for special events,” Ken said.

“However, as the weather is very unpredictable in this area it has always been risky to plan ahead for events.

“Now we can safely do so in the knowledge we have an allweather venue. We already have bookings lined-up for July and August.”

The roof has been part funded under the NSW Department of Environment’s “Heritage Near Me” program.

To find out more or to book your terrace event phone The Regent (02) 6672 8265.

THREE LOCAL ladies Jan Brooks, Thelma Schmidt and Helen Stubbin have formed a friendship through their mutual love of art.

All three have different styles of art with Jan painting in pastel and oils, Thelma with acrylics and liquid glass and Helen with her pastels.

The three ladies live locally in Nunderi, Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah.

The Three Ladies of Art exhibition is being held at the Kirra Community and Cultural Centre Art Gallery from Monday, July 10 to Friday, July 21 from 10am to 4.30pm.

This venue not only has a beautiful little gallery but the most stunning views to the north and south.

It can be found on the corner of Garrick Street and Powell Crescent, Kirra.

Do you remember how you felt in the late 1970s, when the sexual revolution was well underway, the feminist movement was alive and well, and you were young? 20th Century Women will bring you back to that time, through the story of a group of women, and Jamie, a young kid growing up in Southern California.

The film is the semi-autobiography of its American screenwriter and director Mike Mills (of Beginners fame, 2010), and stars Annette Benign in the role of Jamie’s mother Dorothea and Elle Fanning and Greta Gerwig as two young women who had a big influence on his life at the time.

Dorothea is a divorced woman who is raising teenage Jamie on her own while running a boarding house. Among her tenants are Abbie, a photographer diagnosed with cervical cancer; Julie, a young woman who James is infatuated with but who refuses to have sex with him because that would destroy their friendship; and promiscuous William, an ex-hippie carpenter and mechanic.

The relationship between mother and son is difficult, as often happens when kids become teenagers, and Jamie starts getting close to the tenants of the boarding house as if to create a buffer between him and his mother. Things inevitably become complicated between all of them, but in a gentle way – the film is a comedy after all and Mills has described it as a ‘love letter’ to the women who raised him.

Annette Bening has been praised by film critics all over for her performance and the film has received many awards and a nomination for the Oscar as Best Original Screenplay.

Tweed film history on display

Charity Orchestral Concert

THE NORTHERN Rivers Symphony Orchestra will perform its next concert of exciting symphonic music at the Tweed Civic Centre under the expert baton of Dr Warwick Potter on Sunday 16th July at 2.30pm.

For this concert, all funds raised from the raffle will be donated to a very special local organisation, Tweed Palliative Support. This is an inclusive cancer support and palliative care charity that has recently opened NSW’s only adults’ community hospice, Wedgetail Retreat.

The centrepiece of the programme is the ever popular “New World Symphony” by Dvorak supported by Grieg’s “Peer Gynt” Suite and the “Karelia Suite” by Sibelius.

The orchestra is delighted to welcome back Dr Warwick Potter from the University of Queensland music department where he conducts the UQ Symphony Orchestra and Wind Ensemble.

His musical background is as a bassoonist, having performed with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, QSO and WASO; the latter two as Guest Principal.

Tickets are $45, concession $40, students $20 and children 18 years and under free.

TWEED REGIONAL Museum opened Tweed on Film on Tuesday, July 4, which showcases film props and costumes from some of the amazing films that were filmed throughout the shire during the past two decades.

Muriel’s wedding dress is one stand out example which is on loan from the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia and features alongside rare surviving film props from Pirates of the Caribbean V: Dead Men Tell no Tales.

“Replica whale bones, now part of the Museum’s permanent collection, will be on display for the first time since they formed part of the skeleton filmed on location at Hastings Point. They’re so real they even smell like the ocean,” exhibition curator Erika Taylor said.

“Muriel’s wedding dress is definitely a fashion statement, and a coup for us to have on display.

Director PJ Hogan grew up in Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads and attended Mt St Patrick College and Tweed River High School.

Son of a local farmer turned councillor, PJ has spoken about how much he drew upon family experiences when writing and directing both Muriel’s Wedding and the more recent Mental.

A recognised classic of Australian film, Muriel’s Wedding has been adapted by PJ Hogan as Muriel’s Wedding The Musical, currently in rehearsal by the Sydney Theatre Company.

Museum Director Judy Kean said the

Tweed had been the inspiration and location for many films, TV series and documentaries, and continued to be a very popular film location.

“That’s the story we’re featuring in Tweed on Film,” Ms Kean said.

“The list of productions include I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Camp, Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, Terra Nova, Sisters of War, Cubby House, Taylor Made and Murwillumbah Swamp Beer are just some we’ve identified.”

To complement the exhibition, the Museum will host a range of public programs, including a Movie Magic location bus tour on Saturday, August 5, as well as events in collaboration with ABC North Coast and Screenworks Northern Rivers NSW. For full details and updates on events as part of Tweed on Film, visit the Museum website museum.tweed.nsw.gov.au or phone (02) 6670 2493.

TWEED CREATIVE Studios has bounced back after two months of renovations and having been on the brink of closing after the devastating impact of the Tweed flood.

The studio had suffered a huge loss including all floor stock (consignments), fittings, office equipment, computers, paperwork and loss of income.

Tweed Creative Studios owner Chana Waters said there was a long wait before the business could be accessed after the flood.

“When the cyclone hit on Thursday, March 3, we were unable to get to our premises until the Sunday, April 2,” she said.

“The building had been inundated by 1.27 metres of rising water that had destroyed just about everything on the ground floor level which included guitars, amps, retro wares and the repairs section.

“At first we thought this is impossible, we’re ruined and we have no chance at rebuilding this amazing business “After the first few days of clean-up, we realised the amazing community support and undeniable belief of what we have been trying to achieve on so many levels from education to building relationships and creating platforms for budding musicians. It was at that point that we decided to stay and fight for the business.

“We have been working around the clock for the last two months with the assistance of many local people including Jake Maloney who worked tirelessly to help design and build the new interior.

“We are proud to announce that we have built the business to the next level and we are a tourist destination that gives our visitors an experience to remember here in Murwillumbah. We look forward to building relationships with our current customers and new clients.”

1. How much was spent on the facility?

Thanks to the Cat C Grant, we have been funded $15,000 to get the facility up and running again we have spent roughly $20,000 by doing the labour ourselves.

2. Were you covered by insurance?

The insurance is still an ongoing issue with the insurance company refusing to believe it was a storm not a flood that hit Murwillumbah on Thursday, March 30.

3. How much funds were raised from local initiatives?

• We held a fundraiser on June 24 at the Condong Bowling Club where we raised $4,500 which will be evenly distributed to our consignees.

• $625 from the Tweed Chamber of Commerce.

• We have not received any assistance through the Mayors fund.

• Many donations in kind from flooring to fridges by community members.

• Many local people who worked pro bono for days with us during the rebuild.

• $2,500 through the Go Fund Me account, many of these donations were by local supporters.

To find out more about Tweed Creative Studios phone (02) 6672 5556 or visit them at 1/19 Buchanan St, South Murwillumbah.

TRAFFIC

A traffic management plan, prepared by an RMS accredited traffic engineer, has been developed in consultation with state and local regulatory authorities to help minimise the impact of this event on the local road network and the immediate areas surrounding North Byron Parklands. Changed traffic conditions include: • Temporary turning lanes along Tweed Valley Way into North Byron Parklands defined by delineation devices. This is to assist with the steady flow of through traffic.

Please follow the directional signage. Please note traffic infrastructure will be in place from 9:00am Monday 17 July and will be removed by 5:00pm Tuesday 25 July.

• Reduced speed limits of 40km/h will be in place along Tweed Valley Way / Brunswick Valley Way commencing approx. 100m south of the Yelgun interchange continuing along Tweed Valley Way to 300m north of Jones Road, as well as on the Northbound and Southbound off ramps from the Pacific Motorway at the Yelgun interchange.

• To manage potential illegal camping or parking in the immediate surrounds of North Byron Parklands, Local Resident Only access checkpoints will be in operation for Yelgun Road, Billinudgel Road and Jones Road at the Tweed Valley Way intersections.

• Traffic control staff will be in place along Tweed Valley Way between the Yelgun Interchange and Jones Road.

• All traffic control will be managed by RMS accredited traffic controllers. However, please be prepared for POSSIBLE SHORT DELAYS. • Camping patrons will begin to arrive from 10:00am on Wednesday 19 July and depart by 5:00pm Monday 24 July.

• There is NO PEDESTRIAN access into North Byron Parklands.

PARKING

• There is NO PARKING along Tweed Valley Way or in the streets surrounding North Byron Parklands. Special Event parking restrictions will be in place and Council parking enforcement officers will again be on patrol throughout the event. Council issued parking fines will apply.

• There is NO PEDESTRIAN access into North Byron Parklands.

PATRON DROP OFF & PICK UP

• Please use the dedicated DROP OFF & PICK UP area located at North Byron Parklands. DO NOT Drop Off or Pick Up patrons along Tweed Valley Way or surrounding areas.

FENCE JUMPING & TRESPASSING

Any persons attempting to gain entry to the festival without a valid event ticket either on foot, by private vehicle, bus or other means is considered to be trespassing and therefore breaking the law.

All persons travelling to the event via bus will be checked for a valid 2017 festival ticket or wristband prior to boarding, and will not be allowed on the bus without this.

We truly thank you for your patience and understanding,

The Splendour in the Grass team

42 NRL Tipping Competition Thursday July 6 - 2017

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Footy What about the Mustangs draw! at the with Quinny

THE DECIDER is almost here.

JT has been denied his fairytale swansong but gee he left some sort of legacy with his performance in game two.

DCE has missed out. I would have picked him, he is in super form and guiding the Silvertails well.

I like the inclusion of Munster though on the back of his combinations with the big 3. They could do enough to get the Maroons home but the absence of JT saw a swing from $2.10 to $1.80 for NSW. A decider at Suncorp is always the best, I’m sure it will be a ripper game.

The best flexed their muscle last weekend. The Broncos and the Roosters are no duds and sit high up on the ladder but were completely outgunned by ruthless, determined, skilful and potent Storm and Sharks.

The Storm are $2.50 to win the comp after that – glad I took $7 early doors.

The Sharks have been hot and cold but really fired on the weekend and were super impressive.

The NRL gaff on promoting the ‘battle of the spoon’ between Newcastle and the Tigers was in poor taste and hopefully somebody has copped a real butt kicking.

I spent the week in Woollongong with the NSWCCC u/15’s at the Australian Championships. The event was run extremely well and the future of rugby league was really on show.

The Qld White (or the two’s) defeated Qld Maroon in the Semi to advance for the first time in a long time and NSWCHS ran out narrow victors with a 16-14 victory and dominated selection with eight players chosen in the merit team.

Footy Tipping Gurus POINTS LADDER

Congratulations to two Northern Rivers boys Kody Crowther from Ballina (recently signed with Newcastle) and Josh Bevan Bilambil (recently signed with the Roosters) for their selection into the Australian u/15’s merit team. Makes you wonder what the Titans are doing?

The Mustangs snatched a draw from the jaws of victory on the weekend with a massive blunder after half time that has made national news.

The disappointing thing was this overshadowed a great performance to ‘win’ the game at Cougar Park.

The Stangs have the bye this weekend (ladies are playing a catch up game at Ballina Saturday) but will take on Cudgen in the local derby and charity game Saturday the 15th at Stan Sercombe.

See you at the footy, Quinny

The People You Meet... with Fran Rabbitts IAIN FINLAY, Tweed’s Australia Day Ambassador for 2017, and his partner Trish Clark, both writers and former televisions journalists, recently returned from attending the traditional wedding of their friend Chanthy Sisombuth in Laos.

The couple met Chanthy seven years ago when he was working in a restaurant to fund his studies. He was the first young man from his village to leave and go to college. Their friendship began when the couple offered to help him with his English language skills.

“We were immediately impressed by his determination so we offered to help him with the costs of his education and soon we were invited by his parents, who are very poor rice farmers to visit their village,” Trish said.

“We came away thinking we had to do something,” Iain said.

That something has turned into fundraising here in the Tweed as well as from friends in Sydney and around the world. They registered themselves as a legal charity and “one way and another,” Iain said, “we have managed to raise somewhere in the region of $120,000”.

These monies were used initially to build an all-weather road into and out of NaLin, which up until then had been isolated in the wet season.

This was followed by constructing large stormwater culverts to cope during the wet season, and two years later by the building of a school in the even more remote but nearby mountain village of Phoujong, a community of 300 ethnic Yao people.

Locals join exotic wedding in Laos “And at the end of this year,” Trish said, “we hope to build a 60 bunk dormitory in the village of Koktum so that students from Phoujong, NaLin and other outlying settlements can attend the Middle School and later go on and finish High School.”

“None of this would have been possible at all without Chanthy,” Iain said.

“He translates, coordinates the building projects, negotiates and keeps us informed daily by email.”

Chanthy, graduated from business school and now works in the Lao tourism industry.

There he met his wife-to-be Oan Phomeosith, also the daughter of a rice farming family.

From the beginning, Oan’s mother was determined that her only daughter would have a wedding to remember and that was certainly what happened. It was a large affair with 500 people attending including many from Chanthy’s village of NaLin who travelled over 300 kilometres to be there.

A score of women from Oan’s village cooked continuously throughout the day as well as most of the night. There are no fridges in Pak Nga and in the 40-degree-plus temperatures food needs to be cooked to prevent spoiling.

“By the time we arrived a large open-sided marquee had been erected with chairs and tables,” Trish said.

“While Oan was in her parent’s home under the watchful eye of her mother and the village women, Chanthy was being dressed in his hired wedding finery by his mother, and being attended to by a make-up artist and hairdresser who had come all the way on motorbike from Luang Prabang to ply his magic.”

Under a fancy parasol held over him by his best-man and armed with an elaborately carved sword Chanthy then led a procession of men from his village, all of them clapping, laughing and cheering loudly along the dusty

laneways to Oan’s childhood home. Here his way was blocked by a symbolic ceremonial ribbon which he cut .

Oan’s mother brought her daughter out from the shade at the back of their home into the crowd of villagers, all seated on floor mats. Oan had been transformed into a princess for the day, dressed in a spectacular traditional Laotian costume, also hired for the day, with her hair coiffed into an impressive cone and covered by a golden headdress.

Here the Shaman, the ‘magic man’, began the ritual chant in Pali, the ancient language of their Buddhist religion, giving his blessing to the couple.

After that it was the turn of the village Naiban or headman to speak wise words.

And with all that done it was time for the fun. Oan and Chanthy, jointly led the people through the village to the marquee where the meal would be served.

The parents of both bride and groom lined the entrance and placed in a prominent

position was a large bowl into which everyone dropped a red envelope. These contained kip, the Lao currency, that would go hopefully a long way towards covering the cost of the wedding. In this way, a very Lao way, everyone gets to party, to eat and more importantly to drink and to have a good time for a day while Chanthy and Oan cover their costs.

“The band played very loudly, and we danced the lamvong, that’s the traditional Lao dance and Lao people love to see falang, that’s us foreigners, make fools of themselves while attempting to dance gracefully and failing miserably,” Trish said.

The wedding party went on all day and into the night and it took Chanthy two days to recover and clean up after it.

“It was a very enjoyable experience,” Iain said, before Trish, obviously bursting to share the news added, “and now Oan is pregnant. The baby is due in December. Isn’t that just great.”

Fingal Weather has been great on the coast this past week the light winds and small swell are giving anglers the opportunity to head offshore and also fish rockwalls.

North Gold Coast.

The broadwater and Jumpinpin area has been fishing really well for flathead, flounder and bream. Try the deeper edges of sandbanks as the tide starts to fall. Casting Zmann plastics, zerek shads and vibes are all working well in the conditions.

South Gold Coast.

Currumbin, Tallebudgera and Tweed rivers have seen plenty of bream, flathead and trevally action. Pilchards, worms, small hard body lures and plastics are all doing the damage.

Rock wall and beaches.

Burleigh heads to Tweed breakwalls are producing Taylor, Bream and plenty of Jewfish.

Offshore Cobia, pearl perch, snapper and tusk fish are failing to floating pilchards, squid and bonito.

Featured Business

I (Russell) have been in the paving business for just over 25 years.

Enjoying it so much, and knowing this will be my career path for many many years to come, I decided to establish my own business in country Victoria 15 years ago.

Whilst doing just before some irrigation work in between, which I incorporated into my business at the time.

Then deciding to move along with my wife, son and two daughters further north of Victoria and New South Wales border, where my business thrived for over 5 years. But looking for a sea change, I moved with my family to the beautiful Tweed valley over 5 years ago and where my parents have lived for over 30 years.

At first I changed careers and did some tiling and labouring work for a time, but my passion still remained for paving.

Recently I started up my own business calling it ‘Border Brick Paving’ and yes enjoying it immensely.

My first aim is to provide good customer service and engage in constructive discussion to achieve the most satisfactory outcome and for my customers to receive the best quality of work that they deserve.

The best aspect about paving to me is seeing the finished product, which then gives me a sense of fulfilment and achievement.

You will find my ad under paving as Border Brick Paving with all my details.

Thank you for reading my story, Russell

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

Ever Heard of a Sacrificial Anode?

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

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

THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE SOLAR, ELECTRIC, GAS OR HEAT PUMPS FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in the Tweed & Gold Coast area FREE OF CHARGE. “REMEMBER YOU CAN’T LOSE, NO ANODE REPLACEMENT NO CHARGE” Comes with a 5 year warranty ~ Make your Hot Water System last for 30 years!

POLICE BEAT Teens commit multiple breakand-enters across Murwillumbah FOUR TEENS, all aged 14, went on a break-and-

enter spree in Murwillumbah on the weekend, causing damage to the Murwillumbah High School, Scout Hall and Information Centre.

The break-ins occurred between 6pm on June 30 and 11.30am on July 1, with significant damage to windows and graffiti on walls.

Some insignificant items were also stolen and found on the teens when arrested.

Police said they are awaiting results of forensic testing and their investigations are continuing.

Two charged following Tweed Heads West bikie brawl TWEED POLICE have charged two outlaw

motorcycle gang (OMCG) members following a bikie brawl at Tweed Heads West, on Wednesday, June 21.

Two men, aged 39 and 37, were arrested at Tweed Heads Police Station over the weekend and charged with fighting in a public place.

Police said they were called to the Seagulls Club on Gollan Drive following reports that two groups of people were fighting.

However, when the officers arrived they found the two groups had already left the club.

A number of men were located and detained in a nearby car park but were released overnight pending further inquiries.

Police said their investigation suggested several people involved in the incident were members of rival OMCGs. Both men were granted bail and will appear before Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, July 17.

Man charged with animal cruelty after punching puppy A 40-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with

animal cruelty after he allegedly punched a bullmastiff puppy at Tweed Heads on Thursday, June 29.

Police said at about 8.45pm they were called to the carpark of Tweed Mall, where witnesses reported seeing a male punching a dog numerous times.

The witnesses told police they had serious concerns for the safety of the animal.

Police said they “immediately noticed the male

had blood on his knuckles and that the dog had a laceration and blood around its snout”.

“The male was aggressive with the Police and admitted that he had punched the dog because it had soiled his vehicle,” police said in a media statement.

“Police seized the bull mastiff pup which is now in the care of the RSPCA. Police will be charging the male with cruelty to animals.”

Vandals graffiti Bilambil Heights Primary School

POLICE ARE appealing for information after three males vandalised Bilambil Heights Primary School on Thursday, June 29.

Police said around 1am on Thursday a number of alarms were activated within the school premises.

A security guard attended the school and could hear people inside a storage room on the school but when police were called the three males were seen running from the storage room. The males had graffitied walls and tables inside the room and remnants of cannabis were also located.

Police said they were able to obtain fingerprints and are awaiting results.

If anyone has any information regarding this incident they are being urged to contact police.

Tweed Police are also reminding members of the community to remain vigilant around their local schools during the school holidays and report any suspicious behaviour to police.

If any member of the community can identify the males they are being urged to contact Senior Constable Nicholas Griffin at Murwillumbah on 02 66729499 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Man charged with assaulting elderly father A 49-YEAR-OLD male will appear before

court later this month after allegedly assaulting his elderly father.

Police said at about 6pm on Friday, June 30 they were called to an address at Gunnamatta Avenue, Kingscliff regarding a domestic violence assault.

“Police spoke with an elderly male who had allegedly been assaulted by his 49-year-old son,” Police said in a media statement.

“Police will allege the son has punched the victim to the head and began choking him around the neck.

“The victim had a number of injuries as a result of the assault.”

The son was arrested and charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm. An apprehended violence order was applied for and granted.

He was granted conditional bail and will appear before court on July 17.

Cheeky ducks steal galah’s home A PAIR of naughty wood ducks took over a roosting nest from

a pair of galas at Kingscliff last week.

Kingscliff locals Ann and David Wood said the roasting nest was built for the galahs, but the wood ducks had attempted to take over the nest while the galas were out chewing bark.

“At first we weren’t sure if the duck could get out of the roost, it might have become stuck,” Ann, who took the photos below, said.

Fortunately the galahs returned and with a bit of persuasion they were able to get the wood duck out and chase it away for now.

Ann said she loves to photograph and admire the local native birdlife and wildlife, especially the galahs and the ducks.

“We love this area and watching the birds is a joy for us,” she said.

Tweed woodcrafters named big winners

Local quote to be etched in stone

THE INAUGURAL Woodcraft competition

participating in a competition for the best quotes about the seaside village and its new Central Park.

that combined Tweed Valley Woodcraft Association (TVWA) and Richmond Valley Woodcrafters Club (RVWC) was a huge success last weekend, with fourteen out of the twenty category winners were located in the Tweed.

Hundreds of people visited the TVWA’s Murwillumbah Showground Clubrooms on the weekend to admire and wonder at the skill and craftsmanship of over 200 competition pieces.

All aspects of woodwork were on display or for sale - woodturning, woodcarving, furniture making and more.

Independent Northern Rivers and SE Qld judges were kept busy awarding the First, Second, Third or Highly Commended places during Friday, June 30. Categories were judged on design, originality, craftsmanship, skilled execution, difficulty and WOW Factor.

TVWA’s President, Doug Robinson said the judges were very impressed with the standard and variety of items in the competition.

“There was great camaraderie between the clubs and

we were delighted to host the first joint competition,” he said.

Linton Allen, a TVWA member for three years swept the prize pool with five 1st, two 2nd and four 3rd places.

“I’m very proud to have won the awards and I’d encourage men and women to come along and have a go,” Mr Allen said.

Linton has previously participated in the Woodturning Cruise in Norway where ‘World famous wood turners’ make presentations.

Other 1st place winners from the Tweed included Ian Shaw, Archie Crawford, Dave Wickes, Terry Fahy, Mike McGee, Barry Lack and Jim Lyttle.

Now an annual event, the 2018 Woodcraft competition will be hosted by RVWC. Meanwhile, locals can see an exhibition by the TVWA at their Clubroom during the Murwillumbah Show in the beginning of November.

The local group have over sixty members and operate Monday and Fridays from 9am-3pm. New members are always welcome and they can enquire at the Murwillumbah Showground Clubroom any Monday, access via the Banner Street entrance.

Landscaping for Central Park is taking shape, as part of the ongoing Kingscliff Foreshore Revitalisation, and the designers are looking for residents’ quotes to include in a number of the pavers.

To submit a quote of up to 13 words, visit yoursaytweed.com.au/ KingscliffForeshore and click on ‘Share Your Kingscliff Quote’ before 18 July.

A shortlist of 10 residents’ quotes will then be put to a community vote on the Your Say Tweed page, with the four most popular to be carved into pavers as part of the landscaping.

“Kingscliff Central Park will be a social hub for the village and the carved pavers will be another way to add some community heart and soul to the space,” Project Manager Stewart Brawley said.

Bowls Notes

with Judy Tuckey

IT’S CERTAINLY been an action packed week on the greens.

State Mixed Pairs District qualifiers have been decided and more importantly, the State Champion of Club Champions Singles Championships, with Cabarita’s Sue Goode in the mix were also completed.

82 champions from clubs across the state gathered at Ettalong to challenge for the Champion of Club Champions top spot, Sue surely had a hard row to hoe. Encountering Sonia Barteri (Wenty Leagues) in her first round was a tough game with close scoring all the way until Sue broke away in the final ends to take full command and claim victory.

In the second round Sue faced experienced campaigner Vacia McIntyre from Soldiers Point. Vacia kept up to Sue for most of

this close scoring game. However, playing strongly in the wet conditions, Sue held the lead and reeled in her opponent to triumph, taking the match with a comfy margin as well.

In the third round of the preliminaries, Sue encountered Gladesville’s Kim Russell, an extremely good draw bowler with a very sharp eye. With both women’s playing style similar, this game was a thriller as the two matched each other continuously, end for end, eventually resulting in Sue closing the game with a two shot surplus.

Tracy Osborne (Ettalong’s champion), a much younger contestant with her coach in attendance advising, certainly gave Sue a run for the money in the fourth round. Sue trailed throughout most of the match and, fortunately with renewed energy, picked up her game during the last few ends to claim

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC – Keith Kennedy THE CLUB has recently been elevated from bronze to silver status in the Quality Clubs Program.

Simon Lee, Quality Club Officer praised the club’s efforts.

“I would like to thank you and recognise the contribution made by everyone involved at Cudgen Headland SLSC in their dedication to continuous improvement in Surf Life Saving,” she said.

“A special mention must go to Lyndel Small for her dedication and perseverance in completing the submissions for the program.”

David Murray, President of Surf Life Saving NSW congratulated the club on their achievement.

“On behalf of the Surf Life Saving NSW Board of Directors, I would like to congratulate you and your Club on achieving Silver Level status in the Quality Clubs Program,” he said.

“Achieving this level showcases a great deal of dedication to the way in which you undertake club operations and support your members within the movement.

“Surf Life Saving NSW is proud to have clubs dedicated to continual improvement, and the work that you have undertaken in retention and attraction of members, increase in Surf Sports participation and the administration and management of Cudgen Headland SLSC certainly demonstrates this focus.

“I am sure that Cudgen Headland SLSC will reap future benefits from participating in the program. I would again like to congratulate you on achieving Silver Level status, and look forward to your club progressing to Gold Level in the coming seasons.”

The AGM for the Surf Sports Committee was conducted last Sunday morning.

Surf Sports Director, Matt Bell gave a comprehensive report on the Club’s

victory three shots up.

The semi-finals, with the field now narrowed down to Sue and the highly accredited Natasha Scott (Raymond Terrace), Beth Quinlan (St Johns Park) and Val Smith (Merrylands).

In the semi against Val Smith, an ex NZ champion, Sue was out the gate first and built up an 11-7 lead in the early ends.

However, Smith had warmed up and it was game on as she delivered super shots out of her cache of ammo. Fighting on valiantly, Sue’s score was reduced to 20-16 down with Smith still scoring and taking the game to go forward to contest the final. A chat with Sue on her return revealed that she was highly delighted with her success at State level as she had achieved the goal she had set herself with “no expectations and just do the best one can do”.

Congratulations Sue Goode. You have done yourself, your Club and our District Proud.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Men’s Results

Murwillumbah had a forfeit win 5/0 as Capri gave notice earlier in the week that they were unable to field a team.

Casuarina had a real hard fought game against Mudgereba and came away winners 2/1 at Murwillumbah on Saturday. Mudgerbah hit the lead first and when Casuarina suffered a injury to Aiden Read they knew they had to dig deep to win this one and that they did with two goals to Alex Barns.

Kingscliff did battle against Labrador on the Gold Coast on Sunday where Kingscliff got away with a flyer scoring three times in the first half to take the 3/0 lead to the break. In the second half it was all Labrador who came away eventual winners 6/4 even with the player of the match being Kingscliff fullback Joel Wilson.

The Waratah Bobcats were up against the Griffith Roosters and came away with the points with a 5/3 win with three goals to Tim Willis and two to Dewayne Newell.

Burleigh had the bye

Women’s Results

In Murwillumbah on Saturday the Mullumbimby Suns took on the Griffith Roosters. Mullum were

missing several first grade players and relied heavily on the second grade to fill in. With a special effort they nearly pulled off a miracle with their goal keeper Jo Hunter and mid fielder Brooke Riley having blinders but it was the Roosters who scored twice in the dying minutes with freakish goals to obtain the points.

Casuarina with all their young guns back in after the state under 18 championships were up against Burleigh who many say are the best team in the competition. Burleigh opened the score card up first in this high paced game but in the second half Casuarina’s Keely Murray scored the equaliser and with both goal keepers making impressive says that was the final result 1/1.

Also in Murwillumbah on Saturday the Waratah Falcons came away very lucky winners 2/1 over Capri with numerous shots on goals and short corners they were unable to find the net and just did enough to get the points.

On the Gold Coast on Sunday it was Kingscliff up against Mudgerabah but with teams having representative players away this games has been deferred.

The Murwillumbah Labrador game was also deferred as teams had players away representing as well.

Tapped in to the waves with Terry ‘Tappa’ Teece

NEXT WEDNESDAY (12th July) will see the start of the waiting period for the J Bay Open. This event is pivotal in the overall scheme of things, halfway through the season and the top 5 all within reach of the Leader’s Yellow Jersey, at the moment held onto

by Matt Wilkinson. Wilko had the lead at the same time last year, but was at the peak of his lead with two wins and a second from four events. This time Wilko has built momentum and looks a serious title threat. He has John John, Jordy Smith, Owen Wright, and Adriano DeSousa chasing him down. All of the top 5 have won an event this year, with Parko in number 6 in and in good form. A win for Parko could bring him into serious contention for a second World Title, and with two wins at Jeffreys Bay, he certainly knows how to do it.

I would not be surprised if we have a different winner for this event, if not Joel Parkinson, Mick Fanning would have won the event 3 times in a row if not for his mate in the grey suit back in 2015, and along with Julian Wilson, Mick and Joel are surfers who style really goes well with Jeffreys Bay. Also can Slater make good this year? Slater, along with Joel, Mick, and Jordy have the best records at Jeffreys Bay, and Slater could be due…. My money? If I did gamble I would say Mick or Joel… The event starts Wednesday 12th July and the telecast on Fox or the WSL app kicks off around 3pm in the afternoon… Could be like in previous years, watch the State of Origin on the TV, and the surfing on the computer at the same time!

MP Classic this Weekend

After bering postponed due to lack of surf the final event of the QCC (Queensland Championship Circuit), the MP Classic, will be on this weekend, more than likely at Duranbah. The Woods brothers, Thomas and James, will be battling it out for the Queensland Title with local lad, Mitch Parkinson. The results all three surfers get in this event will decide the Queensland Title, which also carries a wildcard to the 2018 Quiksilver Pro Trials as the “cherry on the top” of the series win.

Looking like a one day event, more than likely to be held on Saturday. Will give you the wrap up next week. Catch you in the waves!

yobrace treatment is simple and effective. It does not involve wearing braces or using complex and uncomfortable dental appliances 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Wearing a Myobrace appliance for one to two hours each day and while sleeping, combined with a few simple yet effective exercises each day is all it takes for a real change to occur, and to avoid needing braces in most cases.
