New Tweed hospital site announced

Local News 3

WHAT'S A STUMPY ? ~ $3300 includes GST ~ “Stumpy” is an outdoor gathering to farewell a loved one in a less formal manner. A cardboard coffin with hemp handles rests on a tree stump at Tweed Valley Cemetery, Eviron. Coloured textas allow all to leave their mark on the coffin and a PA / microphone are handy for music or getting your BYO story heard.

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest and Minister for Health Brad Hazzard joine with medical staff and members of the public to announce the new hospital site at Kingscliff

planning for our new hospital can now get underway and soon it will rise out of a new greenfield site. Mr Provest said site works were expected to start once acquisition and planning processes were completed with the target of having the new hospital completed by 2022 and opened as soon as possible after that. Mr Provest emphasised the number of jobs that would be created through the hospital’s construction which he said would have carry on benefits in the Tweed Shire. “With our growing population, our new hospital will deliver a bonanza of hundreds of construction and health service jobs and the best possible healthcare well into the future,” Mr Provest said. Meanwhile, Member for Lismore Thomas George has sought to reassure Murwillumbah residents that the Murwillumbah Hospital will remain. “Murwillumbah can be assured that I have continued to pursue the need to maintain the services at Murwillumbah

referral hospital to the Tweed,” Mr George said. Mr Hazzard said the location will allow for all Tweed Shire residents to easily access the new hospital. “Seventy per cent of the current and future population is within a 30-minute drive to the new hospital, which is great news for patients, their families and staff,” Mr Hazzard said. “After I became the Minister for Health, my first visit to the region was to the Tweed – compliments of Geoff Provest getting into my ear enthusiastically and early on. “The project team is now meeting with clinicians and other staff to progress planning, with masterplans and concept designs expected to be unveiled in the coming months.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you agree that the new location for Tweed’s hospital at Kingscliff was a good selection? Or maybe you moved to Tweed Heads to be close to the current hospital? We would love to hear your thoughts by email to editor@theweekly.net.au or to 1/12 Queen Street Murwillumbah

MONTHS OF speculation and delays surrounding the new Tweed Valley Hospital site have been put to rest with the announcement of the new hospital site at Kingscliff on Cudgen Road opposite the TAFE on Wednesday, April 4. Member for Tweed Geoff Provest joined with Health Minister Brad Hazzard along with Tweed Hospital staff to announce the site for the new hospital, which both ministers said would bring a jobs bonanza to the region. Mr Provest said the site for the $534 million state-of-the-art hospital was selected after an extensive search from a list of 30 locations. He said the hospital would be about six times larger than the existing facility at Tweed Heads, and provide 450 beds. Mr Provest said that the new hospital was on prime agricultural land. “The new site is on prime agricultural land and it is the best site considering the criteria,” he said. “There is a zoning issue with it, but any project over $5 million falls into the area of a state significant (project) and that means that we can apply now to change the zoning on it. “It has been contentious, but at the end of the day if it came down to a choice between a hospital bed and a sweet potato, I would always go for the hospital bed. “We’re going to fix car parking forever, and in 10 years time or 12 years time if we need to build a new wing we’ve got the land to do it. “I think that’s crucial, that we’re really planning for the future and the future growth of the Tweed region. “This is a fantastic day for our community because it means detailed

WORK IS expected to get underway soon on the new $5.9 million Pottsville Ambulance Station following a joint announcement by Member for Tweed Geoff Provest and Health Minister Brad Hazzard on Wednesday, April 4. Mr Provest said it was vital that the shire’s growing population can receive lifesaving care when it is needed most. The site, at 1128 Pottsville Road, will include parking for up to four Ambulances, new offices and staff parking. The location means a quick response when minutes can make a difference between life and death. “In 2015, I announced that the new Ambulance station would be underway within the next term of Government and this announcement means I and the Liberal and Nationals Government are

Wakeboarding erosion

I also live on the river in Murwillumbah, south of the Commercial Road boat ramp. For two years I have witnessed the erosion on the riverbank caused by the waves from wakeboarders. As the tide goes out, waves created by the wakeboarders cut into the riverbank washing the soil away. Once enough soil has washed away the top part of the bank then falls into the river taking grass and trees with it. In the last two years four trees on the bank across from where I live have slipped into the river due to the erosion of the soil caused by the waves from the wakeboarding boats. This erosion was not caused by the flood. Kayakers and canoeists have to hold on tight to avoid being tipped out of their vessels when these wakeboarders speed past. Ski boats also cause some erosion though not as severe as wakeboarders. Helen B, Murwillumbah

Extreme water sports

Most of us who live on the Tweed are here for the increasingly rare natural beauty and peace surrounding us. With regard to extreme water sports I have a disturbing memory of the lake at Queenstown, New Zealand where noise from extreme water sporting has destroyed the ambience of what was once a peaceful place. Erosion of the riverbank is an equally a serious issue. It is accepted as such by the NSW Government which is developing a plan for management of riverbank erosion caused by boating and declares this to be a significant issue for the stability and future health of our river systems (http://maritimemanagement. transport.nsw.gov.au/projects/ riverbank-erosion-management/ index.html). I would like to see the Tweed Council ensure state of the art

management of the Tweed River and that will include managing boating to minimise riverbank erosion and excessive noise. Nola Firth, Murwillumbah

South Murwillumbah or even Clarrie Hall Dam as no water skiing or towing activities are allowed in these areas. Lance Nunn

Many questions will always be raised about the validity of boat users on rivers across our great country and the Tweed is no different. The Mayor did raise her motion in the report but during the Thursday night meeting she withdrew the motion without any discussion or explanation. The following is quoted from the NSW Maritime Tweed Estuary Boating Plan 2006 – 2010 on page 54 states that the factors contributing to bank erosion included: altered flow patterns due to natural changes and human activities, tidal currents, flood velocities, wind and boat waves and saturated bank soils. Once again the Mayor only mentions water skiing and wakeboarding as the cause because they are the easy targets where NSW Maritime research the big picture. The area south of the Commercial Road boat ramp where boat towing activity has been banned for a very long time is the worst affected area on the river but the Mayor never mentions that in her reports. As for Michelle Grimes letter, while I sympathise with her issue with rowers and power boats, has she ever thought about shifting the rowing club to South Murwillumbah where no water skiing, wakeboarding is allowed. She also mentions river bank erosion and I would challenge Michelle to compare the wash from the tinnies following rowers and the wash my speed boat makes when I’m water skiing. She only mentions where it best to close the area from Condong Bridge to the Commercial Road boat ramp for water skiing etc but why not keep it open as is and shift her sport of choice. Many school children also choose water skiing and wakeboarding as a preferred sport. I’m sure the many property owners in this area who have purchased their “dream” home on the river might have a few questions to ask considering water skiing and wake boarding being banned as this has always been allowed in this area and that would be the reason why so many have purchased along the river. If Michelle wants exclusive rowing then shift the rowing club to where she can have it exclusive.

I have been reading over the last two weeks the opinions for and against a potential high school to be built in the Seabreeze estate. This has been a continual grey area by the sounds of it for the last 18 years. But I can say that the goal posts have obviously changed, there are more variables and dynamics now of local’s opinion about this site in Seabreeze. I purchased land in 2015 in the Seabreeze estate and when I visited the local sales office the land was portrayed as “Potential Future Development” with zero mention of a school site illustrated and was told that DAs were placed to build more homes back then. I fully understand that residents purchased land on the understanding a school to be built in the early 2000s and I do believe in the future education of children but as previously mentioned by a local this earmarked land has become a bit clouded to people who either purchased land or a pre-existing home years after the initial school was pitched. I am excited that Dunloe Park will see more people and retirees in the coming years to enjoy Pottsville and yes there will be an increase to population and infrastructure needs to follow such as an additional school, but in saying this the council needs to press the reset button on this subject due to local’s opinion and position now in 2018 within the Seabreeze estate. Realistically now it does seem strange to build a school on the land in the middle of Seabreeze estate that’s situated off the main road, whilst taking into account the divided opinions and the many surrounding homes. And sorry to say it will disturb the peace and may conflict with EPA NSW regulations. I think a bit of common sense and reality check needs to come to fruition, meaning that yes the council needs to take a long term view on the future increased population, but they can’t ignore the current taxpayers/ratepayers that live in Seabreeze now. I also question that of the 2,613 persons who signed a petition in early 2017 for the school how many of those came within the

Tyalgum school zones

I agree with Peter Norman of Crystal Creek that children and their car-driving parents deserve a limited speed zone to make the dropping off of children at schools safe. However, Peter missed the point (or did he not know the reality?) that the speed zone on Tyalgum Road outside the

I think all of us who live in rural areas will share Bill Sercombe’s experiences. I met two cars on bends this morning, both over the double lines. It’s an everyday experience on Kyogle Road, and of course any large lorry can’t negotiate the sharp bends without slowing right down, which they rarely do, you just slow down, pull right over, and hope for the best. Our rural roads were planned and laid out in the horse-and-buggy age, and despite the council’s best efforts and improvements, there are many places where little improvement is possible without massive expense. And improvements just seem to encourage more and heavier vehicles to use the road, and go faster. Michael Bailey, Doon Doon

Krishna property (on which there is a school over a kilometre from the road) has never been used by either children or parent’s cars and never will be as no parent in their right mind would drop their children off over a kilometre from that school. The specific 40km/h speed zone thus serves absolutely no safety or other purpose except to hinder and delay traffic on Tyalgum Road and trigger irritated drivers to risk penalties by maintaining a common sense, safe but otherwise legal speed under 80km/h. I know that the process of removal of that zone is a convoluted and time consuming one and I am merely appealing to someone with the authority, time, initiative and a sense of community to try their skills and luck at removing the useless obstacle to free traffic flow for all the Tyalgum Road users. It will win votes. Ian Jefferys, Tyalgum

School zone frustration

Just to continue about the school zone at Eungella. We have lived here for over 40 years and in all this time there has never been a school at Eungella. I find it difficult to understand why resources are being spent to keep this zone workable when those same resources could be spent somewhere it is needed. I have been to Tweed Shire Council who promptly told me it was nothing to do with them, and was told to go and see the RTA. I went to the RTA and was told to get in touch with Thomas George, which I did. Yes, he returned my call then went on to explain to our son who has lived out of the area for 20 years, and had no idea what he was talking about, that the people who lived there wanted the zone to stay. Now I may be wrong, but I thought school zones were put in place for the protection of the children entering and exiting the schools. As previously stated the school is, over the river and up the hill 1.5 kms from this zone. Is there anyone else out there who is sick of this? Or is it going to take someone being fined for going over the speed limit for people to care. Sharon Grace, Eungella Send your letters to editor@ theweekly.net.au.

Seabreeze estate, I only ask due to the amount that expressed their opinion/concern and I don’t recall this coming to my front door or mailbox. I was reading an article recently stating that a local MP said “Crown land adjacent to Pottsville Beach Primary would be better site” and based on current 2018 opinion that this should be considered and pursued based on the current situation of residents and yes Council, Government or the private school sector should earmark this. As it’s obvious that it won’t impact any residents that have raised concerns or others, as there are no homes built around this land, so it does make sense to have schools isolated together and all “ducks will be in a row”. Obviously it’s not the high school that is the issue but the location, I believe the council needs to seriously review this so all parties and voters have a positive outcome. Is there a better suggested site for a High School (near Pottsville Beach Primary?) Yes. Does Pottsville receive more infrastructure and potential high school. Yes. Do all the residents that live in Seabreeze in 2018 and onwards continue their peaceful residential existence. Yes. It’s a win-win outcome for all. Daniel Rose, Pottsville

Resident’s final push for Kingscliff skate park “Research shows for a skate park to be successful it has to be engaged within the community, not out of sight somewhere.” Ms Hedley said having a skate park in Kingscliff had always been a passion of hers. “When I saw the great work that Shannon Hurman and Kylie Conway were doing with the petition this year I decided to jump on board and give them a hand,” she said. “I’ve got young kids, I’ve got a young boy who skates and scooters and lots of friends who do.” Tweed Shire Councillor James Owen will be voting on the motion and told The Weekly he would love to see a new skate park in Kingscliff. “Skating provides many benefits to those who participate in it,” Cr Owen said. “Funding it will be one of the main issues but the key will be finding a location where the surrounding community is supportive of it.” Joel Wilson, father of ten-year-old Chase, grew up in Kingscliff and thinks that the foreshore opposite the police station is the ideal location for a park. “We used to skate all around the hill and had a bit of skin come off on the road over the years,” Mr Wilson said. “We want a skate park here for the kids, it’s not like it’s for louts, we want to bring our kids, there’s a lot of dads and kids that go to parks on the weekends and skate around. “Chase wants to go skating every day but we have to drive down to

Caba or out to Murwillumbah and you just can’t get the time to do it. “It’s one of the biggest sports in the world. “We want one on the beach not out on a development site and we don’t want to have to trade-off between having more development area so the developer can build the skate park and we have to give away the ecological habitat that we’re trying to protect, we should have one on the beach. “I think we should make a copy of the one at Venice Beach in California, that would be perfect here.” 12-year-old Indiana Barnard is one of the up-and-coming skaters

in Kingscliff and is keen to see the skate park built. “I want to be a professional skateboarder,” she said. “If we had a skate park here mum and dad wouldn’t have to drive up the coast to Elanora every morning and afternoon when I want to practice. “My skateboarding hero is American Nicole Hause and my best trick is a front-side air.” Five-year-old Indi Osmers and her seven-year-old brother Tom are both keen skaters. “I want to be a professional skater and I want a skate park here so I can learn new tricks and meet new friends,” Indi told The Weekly.

Indi’s mother Toni said that Indi and Tom have lessons at Skate All Day at Pottsville but have to travel to Tugun, Cabarita or Murwillumbah to practice. “It would be so much better for everyone if we didn’t have to travel so far for the kids to skate and it’s such a good, healthy sport I think council should get on board with this,” Ms Osmers said. Tweed Shire Councillors will vote whether to undertake a round table discussion at tonight’s Council meeting (April 5). The meeting is open to the public and will be held at the Tweed Shire Council Chambers at Murwillumbah on from 4.30pm..

By Jo Kennett KEEN SKATERS and members of Kingscliff Youth and Family Space gathered in Rowan Robinson Park on Easter Sunday to make a last-ditch plea to Tweed Shire Council to allow a skate park on the Kingscliff Foreshore. At tonight’s (April 5) Council meeting in Murwillumbah, representatives of the group will speak to a Notice of Motion put forward by Cr Ron Cooper that the skate park round table meeting proceed. State Member for Tweed Geoff Provest has committed to assist with acquiring state funds under two conditions: broad community support and council support. President of Safer Communities Alliance Kristie Hedley said that with around 2,500 signatures on a petition for the skate park, they already had broad public support. “I just walked through Robinson Park on Friday taking photos and talking to people and it was absolutely full of kids on scooters, parents and kids on skateboards, and bikes,” Ms Hedley said. “It probably won’t be long before people are complaining about it, so there is a real need for it. “It was originally planned to put a skate park on the foreshore opposite the police station in the Tweed Shire Council’s 2017 Kingscliff Foreshore Plan. “That was put there for a very good reason - passive surveillance, close to facilities.

“The car was a write-off but was uninsured and in that case I think it may have been teenagers. “I don’t think it’s just the same people night after night as the targeted people, the end location and damage done with the stolen vehicles was different.” Ms Moyes said that a few weeks ago multiple people on Lennox Circuit, Pottsville reported there were people trying to break into their homes and cars but nothing was stolen in those cases. “I know one person who since then has said they were woken to someone trying to open their front door but managed to scare them off.” Ms Moyes also had a baby stroller stolen from her property a month ago. “I think that was just teenagers but a lot of what goes on theft wise here I think is due to the ice epidemic.” Other residents in the area also reported on social media on a growing epidemic of petty crime and thefts in the area which they attributed to users of the drug ice. Combined with the gangs of car thieves it has residents deeply concerned and they are now considering starting a Neighbourhood Watch program. Police released a media statement on March 28 saying they had apprehended five teenagers travelling north in a stolen Subaru Forester on Tweed Valley Way at Tumbulgum. The vehicle was stolen from Tugun. Tweed Byron LAC Inspector Jackie Kelly said there is no evidence to connect the teenagers to the car thefts on the Tweed Coast. On April 1 police released a further statement that more cars had been stolen from the coast. “Between 7pm on Saturday 31 March and 6am Sunday 1 April 2018 two cars have been stolen overnight whilst locked and parked at a residential address,” police said. “It is unknown how the offenders have gained access to the vehicles, however there was evidence of a burn out on the front lawn in Pottsville. “One of the vehicles was a 2014 grey Mazda 3 sedan and the other was a 2001 grey Holden Commodore station wagon. “If anyone has any information please contact your local Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”

Be Safe

By Jo Kennett THIEVES HAVE stolen vehicles in Pottsville and Cabarita as the crime wave on the Tweed Coast continues. Bo Spooner woke on Wednesday morning, March 25, to find her car which had been parked in the family’s Cabarita driveway, gone. The car, a 2008 model Suzuki Grand Vitara, with registration plate 923VPE and a Surfing Queensland sticker on the back, is yet to be found by police. “It was stolen at 3am,” Ms Spooner told The Weekly. “I actually heard it leave but thought it was my neighbour going to work as she is a nurse and does night shift so I didn’t get up to check. “We rang the police to notify them and haven’t heard anything from them since. “They told us they will keep an eye out for it and for us to do the same. Ms Spooner said two months prior her neighbour woke to find four girls had broken into her car and were having a party in it. “I am a mother of a six and a two-year-old and it had car seats in it so I find it very odd and disrespectful that someone would want to party in it and then for someone to steal it,” she said. Ms Spooner said that it makes things difficult but she was lucky that her mother has let the family use her car while they sort insurance out. “The insurance company said I have to wait 14 days from it being reported stolen to make a claim and then wait for that to be processed. “Hopefully that doesn’t take too long because I don’t like putting my mum out.” Emily Moyes of Pottsville said she heard about a car being stolen every night in the lead up to Ms Spooner’s car being stolen. She said that two of those vehicles were taken from the Seabreeze Estate in Pottsville and that both had good security systems which the thieves had gotten around. “That leads me to believe that in that case they were professionals,” Ms Moyes said. “In one case the car was found in Miami on the Gold Coast which makes me think that they are travelling down late at night. “In another case it was an older Tarago that was stolen and that was found in Murwillumbah.

Beetlemania workshop

Kooee Koala shows off the hashtag for the Good Bushland Neighbours competition. Follow the instructions and win a massive hound hamper for your pet!

Snap and post #KooeeKoala to win A much loved local character has taken on the role of Ambassador for a new campaign aimed at protecting bushland wildlife. Kooee Koala will lend a hand to the campaign with personal appearances over the next few weeks plus, a social media competition featuring a giant hound hamper valued at more than $250 will be up for grabs. The Good Bushland Neighbours campaign was launched on Neighbour Day in Pottsville, with dog walkers treated to fresh juices and barista-made coffee. Council Senior Program Leader – Biodiversity Scott Hetherington said residents were asked to complete a short survey relating to dogs in local bushland reserves. “We know this particular area is popular with dog walkers so we wanted to hear the thoughts and experiences of local bushland neighbours,” Mr Hetherington said. “The results of this survey will help Tweed Shire Council understand how and why residents choose to use adjacent bushland reserves and to guide them in the ongoing management of this area.” Council Bushland Officer John Turnbull said bushland reserves are high-conservation-value habitat for a number of threatened

species, including koalas and bush stone-curlews. “While Council encourages residents to enjoy the many bushland reserves found in Tweed Shire, people need to recognise that accessing these ecologically sensitive areas also comes with responsibilities,” Mr Turnbull said. “A key message to be delivered by the Good Bushland Neighbour campaign asks bushland users to respect all signage related to dogs as any increase in dog-related injuries could prove catastrophic to an already fragile Tweed Coast koala population.” If you see Kooee at any of her public appearances over the coming weeks, all you need to do is snap her pic and upload it to your social media account with the hashtag #KooeeKoala. Don’t forget to set your post to ‘Public’ so we can find your entry! Keep an eye out for Kooee Koala at various Tweed Coast locations, including the Cabarita Beach Skate Park on Saturday 7 April and the Pottsville Markets on Sunday 15 April. This competition will run until Sunday 15 April and the draw will be streamed live on Tweed Shire Council’s Facebook page on Monday 16 April. For more information please contact Heidi Fletcher – Project Officer on hfletcher@tweed.nsw.gov.au

Tweed Shire Council and Tweed Landcare Inc. are offering a free workshop for graziers to refine their dung beetle identification and management skills. Council’s Program Leader – Sustainable Agriculture Eli Szandala said dung beetles play a critical role in any sustainable livestock production system. Dr Bernard Doube, from Dung Beetle Solutions Australia, will provide participants with hands-on skills in beetle identification and monitoring techniques and the best advice on beetle-friendly chemical controls for livestock. He will also speak about the latest on national initiatives to utilise dung beetles to increase farm productivity and profitability. North Coast Local Land Services district veterinarian Dr Phil Kemsley will be on hand to discuss practical control strategies for buffalo fly and the role of dung beetles for managing animal health. Southern Cross University researchers will present findings from a recent dung beetle survey project in the Tweed, which investigated dung beetle species distribution and the effects of various chemical controls on beetle populations. The workshop will be held at Limpinwood Hall on Thursday 12 April from 10.30am. Bookings are essential and can be made by calling (02) 6670 2599 or emailing eszandala@tweed.nsw.gov.au

Knox Park picnic postponed The ‘One Year On’ Community Catch-up event today due to be held last Thursday has been postponed due to wet weather. A new community get together will be held on Thursday 12 April from 3–6pm at Knox Park in Murwillumbah (same time, same venue). While it’s in Murwillumbah, we invite anyone from villages or other communities affected by the 2017 flood to come along too. Bring along a blanket to enjoy some company and share and reflect as our community acknowledges that we are ‘one year on’ and recovery is still in progress. There will be a free sausage sizzle, kids’ activities such as face painting and craft, live music at the rotunda and giveaways. Council is partnering with the SES, Australian Red Cross and Thrive 2484 to host the event.

Condong preschool open day Live and local on in Kingscliff and Murwillumbah A community preschool damaged by last year’s flood will open the doors of its newly renovated home to the community this Friday to thank those who helped with the clean-up. Possums Community Preschool in Condong, which has operated out of the Council-owned Condong Hall building for 32 years, was forced to move to Tumbulgum Primary School while major repairs to the building were carried out The preschool, which provides services to 40 local families, was helped by what Teacher Michelle Acret said was a small army of volunteers during the clean-up from the flood. “It was a very emotional experience to come back here where we belong, especially for the kids who are back in familiar surroundings,” Ms Acret said. “We are so grateful to Tumbulgum Primary School for taking us in but there were some challenges around things like toilets and boundary fences, which means our staff are happy to be home as well. “This is much more of a purpose-built facility now, much more spacious and open, and we are definitely better prepared for another flood. “Out of what was a horrible event we can definitely say something beautiful has emerged.” The building was fully restored for Possums’ use following an assessment of damage by Council staff. In addition to new flooring and walls, a significant amount of asbestos was removed from the structure while a new kitchen, office space and a storage loft were constructed. The preschool at 20 McLeod Street will be open from 3pm to 5pm on Friday 6 April.

Council has committed to giving the local music scene a boost by creating and supporting two upcoming events featuring local musicians. In partnership with local venues, Council will promote the Musicians Connecting Communities or MC2 festivals in Kingscliff on Saturday 28 April and in Murwillumbah on Saturday 19 May. Both festivals will feature a line-up of local musicians playing in various venues on the day, with attendees invited to listen in and support local businesses. The events are the result of a successful grant application made by Council to the Live Music Office’s Live and Local Initiative, funded by CREATE NSW. Council Community Development Officer Cultural Planning David Burgener said the festivals offer a chance for musicians to play in the shire and connect with local venues. “One of the intentions of the festivals is to establish relationships between Council, musicians and venue owners,” Mr Burgener said. “The idea is to help support live music in the shire by providing a family-friendly event the whole community can enjoy. “These festivals will make use of hotels and clubs but also less traditional venues such as cafes and even a tattoo parlour.” Another focus of the festivals will be an attempt to support the establishment of mentoring situations, especially for emerging artists just starting out on their musical careers. Mr Burgener said Council hoped to organise a workshop associated with the festivals to support artists in understanding what was expected of them in a professional environment. “It’s not just about bringing in experts and holding workshops

Living and Loving the Tweed

though, there are lots of musicians in the area with knowledge to pass on,” he said. “Music plays an important role in supporting a vibrant community, not only for the artists involved or the local economy, but also when it comes to making connections between individuals and organisations. “The name, Musicians Connecting Communities (MC2) really captures what the festivals are all about. “We know the talent is out there and if Council can do something to help bring it along, it is a worthwhile investment on many levels.” An event has been created for the MC2 Festivals on Council’s Facebook page.

A painter’s house revisited at Gallery The latest exhibition at the Margaret Olley Art Centre will feature works by contemporary artists inspired by the objects which surrounded her and became integral to her life’s work. The extraordinary collection of things that filled Margaret Olley’s home studio at Duxford Street, Paddington, Sydney was the subject matter for her paintings for nearly 50 years. The re-creation of this home studio, at the Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre, pays homage to the artist with over 21,000 objects meticulously arranged to reflect their placement in her Sydney home. Margaret Olley Art Centre Curator Ingrid Hedgcock said the exhibition views these objects from a fresh perspective. “For Olley, her home was first and foremost a studio – a painter’s house,” Ms Hedgcock said. “While she worked, her studio changed like a vibrant living ecosystem of art and life entwined; in her words, it was ‘a subject of endless possibilities’.” For the exhibition A Painter’s House four contemporary painters were invited to respond to objects in Olley’s home studio – working from the Gallery’s Nancy Fairfax Artist in Residence Studio. John Honeywill, Guy Maestri, Lewis Miller and Monica Rohan return to Olley’s beloved collection, to explore, experiment, enliven, interpret and reveal. The results will be displayed alongside Olley’s

own paintings in this exciting new exhibition. The paintings by Olley include works from the Tweed Regional Gallery collection, the Art Gallery of New South Wales collection, Maitland Regional Gallery collection, the University of Queensland Art Museum and private collections. A Painter’s House opens in the Margaret Olley Art Centre on Saturday 31 March and runs until 7 October.

Solar expo good for the environment and the pocket

Access to art, history for all

Tweed Shire Council will promote its Solar Buyers Guide at three upcoming solar and battery expo events across the Shire. Avoiding wasted energy can save hundreds of dollars each year, so the events will highlight the simple steps everyone can take for big financial and environmental gains. Council’s Sustainability Program Leader Debbie Firestone said local solar suppliers and installers will also be at the event to promote the range of solar and battery technology and expertise available. “Ask lots of questions, use local accredited suppliers, choose quality products and get systems designed to suit your needs,” Ms Firestone said. “Council has a Solar Buyers’ Guide available on the Energy page of our website, and I’ll be at the events to share the guide with those wanting to make an investment in solar at their place.” Electricity use in homes is a big cost for the household budget, and also has a significant environmental impact when that power comes from the grid. A recent calculation of the basic greenhouse gas emissions from the Tweed showed nearly 28 per cent of Tweed’s emissions are

Murwillumbah township residents and businesses have been invited to attend a Council drop-in session to learn some critically important lessons from the Murwillumbah CBD Flood Levee and Drainage Study. The drop-in session will be held at the Canvas and Kettle Meeting Room at the Murwillumbah Civic and Cultural Centre from 3–6pm on Friday 6 April, where Catchment Simulations Solutions consultant David Tetley will present the results of the flood modelling and mapping he has undertaken in the area. He’ll also share the results of a survey of 800 residents of the area behind the main Murwillumbah levee, which found that very few people understand the flood risk in central Murwillumbah or would respond quickly to an order to evacuate.

“This flood modelling graphically illustrates the risk of flooding behind the levee wall, which every resident and business located in that area needs to be aware of and prepared for,” Manager Roads and Stormwater Danny Rose said. Community members will be able to talk with Council’s flood engineers and the consultants to unpack some of the content of the draft Murwillumbah CBD Flood Levee and Drainage Study, which is on public exhibition until Friday 4 May 2018. The draft study highlights the findings of the consultant’s study and community survey and assesses a number of engineering options to further protect the area from floods. Council has received funding for an additional study focused on South Murwillumbah, and will commence that work later in the year.

Allow extra time travelling on Tweed Valley Way Motorists using Tweed Valley Way to get to Commonwealth Games events on the Gold Coast are advised to leave early on Wednesday and Thursday this week as there could be long delays at the roadworks on Tweed Valley Way at Tumbulgum during the early morning peak. While Council will be employing extra traffic controllers to ensure the delays are kept to a minimum, motorists should leave 30 minutes earlier to accommodate any delay. Delays could be between 10–20 minutes as the road pavement is being milled off and resealed between the Riverside Drive North and South exits, including the intersection of the North exit and Tweed Valley Way. New line-markings will then move the stop line on Riverside Drive North exit further out on to Tweed Valley Way to improve visibility for motorists turning right out of Riverside Drive on to the

100kmh major arterial road. Currently, if a vehicle is travelling in the left-hand slip lane on Tweed Valley Way it can block from view any through-traffic on Tweed Valley Way. After the section is resealed and line-marked, both northbound and southbound traffic will be directed to travel on the respective shoulders to provide a safe workzone for workers installing a centre wire rope median. The section of road has a history of serious and fatal crashes and the work is being funded under the Federal Government’s 2017–2018 Black Spot Program at a cost of $1.3 million. The wire rope median will provide physical separation of the north and southbound traffic. The Black Spot Program has to be completed by the end of June to comply with funding conditions, and time has already been lost to wet weather.

CERTIFICATESOFAppreciationforthose nominated by members of the community during the 2017 Tweed flood have been flying out the door at the Tweed Valley Weekly office (1/12 Queen Street). There’s still plenty more to collect for residents with community-minded local Tan Summerell urging residents to check the list via social media and pick up their certificate. The certificate of appreciation was designed by Tan to acknowledge the hard work and resources provided during the Tweed flood, more than 12 months ago. Donna Needham, who played a key role in coordinating the Hutchinson’s building recovery centre during the post flood support, is helping Tan to deliver the certificates. “We’re trying to get as many out as we can to acknowledge those people,” she said. Tan said more than 400 individuals and businesses have been nominated for the certificates which have been well received by the community. “To date we have a list of more than 425 names,” she said. “Over 100 have been hand-delivered to businesses and individuals and many have been collected from the Weekly office. “The looks on peoples faces has been priceless, some have even cried. “It gave some a sense of pride and others a feeling of humble accomplishment. “One young man said he had never received anything in his life and wanted to hang it on his wall to show his kids he felt so proud. “A small gesture to give someone who worked tirelessly with two others risking their lives to literally save the lives of over a dozen people.”

Tan said the general expressions of gratitude between members of the community is overwhelming. “As we all know people did not help to receive recognition but what a wonderful opportunity it has been to thank some of those who did,” she said. “Thousands of people have helped during this time and it is impossible to know who and just how many. “We relied purely on the community to provide the names and to thank some feels better than thanking no one because we didn’t have everyone’s name. “A big thank you to the Tweed Weekly for being so generous and making this possible. They paid for many of the costs for printing and laminating and made their premises available to the public.” The list of names was printed in the Tweed Valley Weekly March 22 (page 15) and March 29 (page 54) and is present on the Murwilumbah Matters page and Murwillumbah Buy Swap and Sell social pages.

Residents still living with flood insurance pains By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE residents are calling for more information and media coverage on insurance claims following the 2017 Tweed flood with several locals still grappling with a mountain of paperwork and uncertainty over their claims. Several residents wrote and phoned The Weekly on Tuesday expressing their gratitude for the post-flood coverage on March 29, however, several residents said they were also keen to see more coverage around flood insurance. Member for Lismore Thomas George also expressed his “ill feeling” towards the insurance response. “We have got to get over the flood,” Mr George said. “But if there’s any ill feeling I have it’s for the insurance response.” Murwillumbah resident Trish Reynolds thanked The Weekly for its extensive coverage of floodrelated issues in last week’s edition but highlighted the lack of insurance coverage.

Flood damage to the William Street units

“I was disappointed at the minimal coverage given to the topic that has dominated the experiences of most flood victims, including me, namely the inadequacy of flood insurance,” she said. “The arbitrary definitions of flood versus storm water favour the insurance companies. “The many loopholes, like if the insurance company’s hydrologists decide that any proportion of the floodwater however small, has come from a river or creek, that voids the claim of people who don’t have flood cover are overwhelmingly in favour of the insurance companies, leaving people who are already overwhelmed by loss of housing, cars and other precious belongings further traumatised by the prohibitive cost of paying for flood repairs themselves.” Mrs Reynolds lives in William Street which she said is nowhere near any river or creek. “Yet because the levee behind the Brothers Leagues Club overtopped after the ground was saturated, after stormwater drains had been overflowing for many hours, after stormwater from runoff down the surrounding hills were threatening to flood us, our insurance company didn’t pay us a cent. “The water overtopping the levee would be lucky to have contributed five per cent to our flooding yet it voided our claims, leaving 16 families homeless (two sets of eight units) and owners having to face the cost of flood repairs themselves.”

Mrs Reynolds said homes in her estate sat for six months while she fought for coverage on behalf of eight of those families. “My experience was duplicated or worse for the residents of our complex and all over the shire and four of those 16 units are still vacant,” she said. Mr Reynolds is now calling for councils, business chambers and local members to lobby for sensible and fair flood state insurance laws similar to Queensland. “My understanding is that in Queensland if you have house insurance it must include flood cover,” she said. “This has the result of evening the playing field in that people who are at minimal risk of flood in effect subsidise those at serious risk, making flood coverage affordable for all. “Here in NSW, flood coverage in flood-prone areas is unaffordable for many and premiums vary wildly.” Mrs Reynolds also revealed her flood premiums highlighting that her body corporate (eight small units) were quoted between $7,000 and $21,000 for insurance including flood. “I’ve heard of totally outrageous premiums quoted for people in South Murwillumbah,” she said. “Studies have shown that if your home floods you are at very high risk of mental health problems in the subsequent year. “Why are we allowing insurance companies to compound the victims’ trauma and escalate that risk?”

The Weekly put several questions to both Allianz Insurance and IAG (NRMA) Insurance for comment. An IAG spokesperson was able to respond and said the company has now processed 93 per cent of all claims. “Following Cyclone Debbie, we received 1,183 claims in NSW (across all brands), predominantly in the Ballina, Grafton, Coffs Harbour, Casino, Port Macquarie, Taree and Kempsey regions,” the IAG spokesperson said. “1,158 of these claims were from Ballina and the surrounding region, including Murwillumbah, Mullumbimby, Tumbulgum, Tweed Heads, Nimbin, Banora Point,

Burringbar, Chinderah, Lismore, Goonellabah, and Kingscliff. “We have finalised 93 per cent of all claims for this area (and 93 per cent for NSW). “The damage suffered by our customers ranged from minor to extensive repairs required to their homes and property, and in some cases, homes needed to be rebuilt. “Each customer’s claim was examined individually in-line with the policy they had in place, and we will continue to help our impacted customers get back on their feet as soon as possible.” The Weekly also spoke with Allianz Insurance who were compiling a response for next week’s edition.

Momentum behind return of Speed on Tweed Lion’s Line of Coins a success By Jonathon Howard A PUSH to see the return of the once iconic racing event Speed on Tweed is gaining momentum with more than 2,500 residents already signing a local petition and more expected via an online petition. Speed on Tweed event coordinators Bill Bitossi and Rob Learmonth told The Weekly that while there had been a lot of positive movement towards reintroducing the event, he asked for residents and the media to be patient as they work out the finer points. “We’ve had overwhelming support through the petition so far, with more than 2,500 signatures already via our paper petitions and many more signing online,” he said. “However, it’s important to note that while we are making inroads to see the event reintroduced, we’re also still going through a lot of negotiations and it’s too early to make any official announcement.” Mr Bitossi said he understood that the media was keen to find out more information, but it was important to ensure they get the process right. “It’s still too early to make any official announcements, but we have had some positive meetings so far and we will update the public as soon as we can,” he said. “This is in the early stages of planning and we will make more announcements soon.” Speed on Tweed ran from 2002 to 2010 and was an annual motor racing festival held in Murwillumbah. It was announced in the lead-up to the 2008 event that it would be the last Speed on Tweed organised by the original organising team led by Roger Ealand, who passed away in 2016.

The event was modelled on the Goodwood Festival of Speed, held in West Sussex, England, and had consistently attracted the best historic racing cars from Australia and overseas to visit Murwillumbah. The festival attracted up to 30,000 attendees each year and contributed substantially to the region’s economy. While the main event was the competitive vehicles the festival also included displays, stalls, merchandising and musical performances. Friday night featured a tour through the main street of Murwillumbah before the vehicles pulled over and parked at a street party before moving to the Murwillumbah Showgrounds. Saturday night featured another street party, and in the later years saw dining tables set up in the middle of the street.

The competitive event featured a timed sprint starting from the Showgrounds and racing along eight local streets before returning to the Showgrounds in a challenging course of just over a kilometre. Tweed Shire residents battled to save the event in 2009 when the event found a new home as part of the reborn Rally Australia and the Australian leg of the World Rally Championship that is now held on the Coffs Coast in November. YOUR THOUGHTS: Would you like to see the return of Speed on Tweed? Maybe you were involved as a volunteer with the previous event? We would love to hear from you. Please write to editor@ theweekly.net.au – or drop by the office at 1/12 Queen Street, Murwillumbah.

THE FAMOUS Murwillumbah fundraiser the Lion’s Line of Coins has been hailed a huge success after more than $1,000 was raised for Wedgetail Retreat. The Lion’s Line of Coins is one of the longest-running fundraising initiatives in the Tweed Valley having been run for the past 50 years and was held on Thursday, March 29. The line was drawn outside Dinki Di Discounts on Murwillumbah Street, who have supported the event for the past 14 years. Passers-by were called on to drop money on the dedicated chalk line, with the total donated to Wedgetail Retreat and Tweed Palliative Support. Lions Club of Murwillumbah member of 40 years Leo Kelly caught up with The Weekly on Tuesday to thank the community and reveal the outstanding total. “We’ve been doing it outside Dinki Dis for at least the past 14 years, of which we are extremely grateful,” he said. “They are great support and we appreciate manager Vickie North’s help. “We’re also pleased to announce that $1,035.75 was kindly donated by passers-by.” Mr Kelly said he ended up with three chalk lines covered in notes. “People were so generous, and I’d like to thank them for their contribution,” he said. Mr Kelly said the first fundraiser of its kind in Murwillumbah took place in 1968 and helped children from the far west to experience the ocean for the first time. “Back in those days it was uncommon for students to undertake school excursions to the beach,” Mr Kelly said. “So, through the Lion’s Line of Coins we were able to help kids visit the sea, many for the first time.” Mr Kelly said the fundraiser was unfortunately cancelled last year due to the Tweed flood. “It was the wrong timing last year and unfortunately we had to cancel, but we’re back again this year.”

Make money while the sun shines

MAKING the switch to solar just makes good sense. Right now, investing in solar delivers serious and immediate returns. How so you might ask? We understand it can seem complicated to understand the real returns on a solar system, so we thought we’d break it down for you. According to the Clean Energy Council the average hours of sunlight a day across the year is 4.2 hours, so we will use this as the base to calculate the solar generation. Based on 4.2 hours a day, a 5kW system will generate 21kW of clean energy every day. Now let’s say you self-consume 50%, or 11kW your total solar generation each day. Based on today’s average electricity charges of 28c/kW, by cutting your reliance on the grid by 50%, you stand to make a saving of $3.08 each day. That might not

seem much but over the course of a year that’s $1124 back in your pocket. Then there’s the other 50% of your solar production that you can export back to the

WO R K M A N S H I P WA R R A N T Y

grid. Based on today’s average solar feed in tariffs you’re looking at anywhere from 8 cents to 15 cents, depending on your electricity retailer. Let’s base our calculations somewhere in the middle… if you are exporting the remaining 50% year you’ll save in electricity costs. That’s a whopping total of $1605 per year in savings straight from the get go. Now let’s say you want to finance your solar system. The cost of a good quality 5kW system will set you back approximately $6000 (less than a third of the cost just five years ago). Based on a 5-year payback, with a $0 deposit, you’re looking at monthly repayments of just over $100, or $1200.00 per annum. So right now, you’re in front, with immediate electricity savings delivered of $1605 per year and the system cost of $1200 on payback, you’re $405 in front. That’s a win. We are genuinely passionate about the benefits of a good quality solar system designed to deliver you real savings.

Powerful New Ways to Save with Solar

“The Best Investment You Can Make in 2018 is More Solar Power for Your Home”

How to Get the Most from Your Solar Investment in 2018 Switch Power Companies Solar Power is the best investment you can make in 2018. In this special feature we will show you how you can maximise savings on your power bill with strategic new ways that make the most of new technologies and changing network conditions.

There are huge differences in the pricing of Energy Retailers today. You want to get the most for selling your solar, but you don’t want to pay more for everything else! Some retailers set a high price so they can then give you a “discount” and many people believe the highest percentage discount is what you are looking for. It is confusing to try and compare offers and most people do not have time to wade through this mine field. At 888 Solar Tek we compare all the offers and negotiate even better deals for you.

Power Prices Going Up Again

Predictions from industry experts have power prices going up by another 50% in the next two years. Reliance on aging coal generators and a lack of certainty for investors in new energy generation is creating a price spiral in the National Energy Market. Expect another 15-25% increase in July this year and more in 2019. Solar Power can minimise the amount you pay for electricity now and protect you from ongoing price rises. Some of our clients are now getting credits from their electricity supplier instead of huge bills, by following our advice and strategies. The higher that electricity prices go, the more your solar energy is worth, not only to offset charges, but also to export to the grid for profit. Find out how easy it is for you to do the same.

Match the Solar Energy to Your Power Use

Everyone is different and how you use energy needs careful consideration before just slapping a cheap package deal on your roof. Solar panels last decades, so you want to make sure your investment is sized and placed to erase your carbon footprints as much as possible. Is it better to use solar for your hot water or use off peak from the grid? is air conditioning more efficient with panels facing East or West? We ask the right questions to get you an efficiency that gives extra value to your solar investment every day.

The Federal Government is still offering Small technology Certificates (STC’s) that greatly reduce the upfront cost of new solar panels. Every year you get less STC’s, so it is better act now while the benefit is Sell Your Power for Profit higher.to888 Solar Tek make it easy to The solar feed in tariff is now 12-15c claim your benefit by doing all the per kWh, which means you can sell excess paperwork and trading them on your power to the grid to cover your night time behalf, giving you an up front discount energy use and daily supply charge.

Get Around Network Rules

It is disappointing to find out that the network won’t let you export an unlimited amount of solar power to the grid. However, there are many ways to benefit from producing more power and to ensure you are exporting the maximum most of the time. Our design consultants look at your total energy picture to find new tricks that you did not know about before.

If You Use Less Than 10 kWh per Day...

Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels to Eliminate your power bill

With Feed in tariffs at 12-16c you can now sell power back to the grid as part of a strategy to minimise and eliminate power charges completely. Production from 2.5 kW of solar - about 10 panels - will offset the dreaded electricity supply charge when all the generated power is exported. You now get half as much for the power you sell as it costs you to buy from the grid. If you export enough, the rest of your power charges can be eliminated. This strategy is ideal for retirees or small households.

If You Use 10-25 kWh per Day...

Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels and Batteries if Export is Limited

Panel Level Optimization

Every solar panel on a string affects every other panel, so one panel in shade can bring down the performance of a whole system. Tigo have now released special electronic optimizers, so shade will no longer hold back the flow of power. Tigo optimizers also allow more flexibility for fitting panels on difficult roofs, and work with any inverter. If your roof has uneven shading, then Tigo optimizers can increase output by up to 30%. They can also be retrofitted to old panels that are shade affected, fixing any performance lag and boosting your solar power production.

Long Term Warranties

Our Solar panels have a 25 year production warranty, no moving parts and only require occasional cleaning. They just work and keep on working for decades of reliable power production. We choose the best brands to give you the most value and reliability in solar technology today.

Slash Your Hot Water Bill with a Sanden Eco Plus System

If Essential Energy will let you export 5 kWh or more to the grid, then stacking your The Sanden Eco Plus® Hot Water Heat roof with as many solar panels as possible will work well for you.

Treacherous surf forces Easter beach closures Koala food tree planting By Jo Kennett DANGEROUS SURF generated by ex-tropical cyclone Iris, combined with an approaching blue moon and king tides, led to the closure of Tweed Coast beaches on the first day of the Easter long weekend. Patrol Captain and Radio Officer Keith Wilson from Cabarita Beach Surf Lifesaving Club said that beaches were shut all the way from Fingal Head down to Yamba on Friday morning because conditions were too dangerous for swimmers. “We had a full moon with a big high tide and a lot of rips," he said. “I’ve never seen so many rips at this beach as we had on Friday. “It was impossible. I couldn’t even open the beach within a 10-metre square area to be able to allow swimmers to swim because it was just too dangerous with all the rips. “We had rips going sideways and out, so they were running into major rips that were running out so it was just so dangerous. “The big surges coming in meant there were big surges going out so keeping your footing was a problem. “No one could hold against it. If you got caught in one you would just go.” Although there were several warning signs lifesavers still had to warn swimmers not to enter the water. “We had no flags up and signs in three or four places telling people not to go in but we still had to give a couple of warning to swimmers who went in anyway,” Keith said. “It didn’t take them long to figure out why the beach was closed. “We got to them and they said, ‘yes, we’re coming out’ because they were only in water up to their knees and they could

feel how strong the sideway sweep was and that sideways movement of water was running into rips which were only about 15 metres apart. There were rips going everywhere.” Some north coast beaches opened later that afternoon as the tide went out and conditions improved slightly. “On Saturday it wasn’t too bad, it had eased off a bit,” Keith said. “I came for a swim about 11am and conditions were better but the patrol members had to still keep a strong vigil and had swimmers confined to a very restricted area.” When conditions eased on the weekend, beaches along the Tweed Coast were reopened however on Easter Monday the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) issued

a warning that ex-tropical cyclone Iris had redeveloped into a cyclone over the Coral Sea. By Tuesday, April 3, Cyclone Iris had intensified to a category 2 and was slowly tracking south north-east of Townsville, with the BOM issuing a cyclone warning for the Lower Burdekin, Central Coast and Whitsunday Islands. It is now forecast to weaken below a tropical cyclone intensity and become slow-moving offshore of the Whitsunday Islands on Thursday, before adopting a track back towards the northwest as a tropical low during Friday The system could lead to further hazardous surf conditions through the week.

FRIENDS OF Cudgen Nature Reserve are holding a Community Koala Habitat Planting Day on Saturday, April 7, at Cudgen Nature Reserve to help boost koala numbers in the area. President John McDonagh said that the group plans to plant 200 koala food trees to continue the extension of koala habitat plantings in the Slip Rails Road section of the reserve. This follows earlier community plantings at the site organised by Conservation Volunteers Australia. The initiative is supported by Tweed Shire Council who are supplying the trees and the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS). Mr McDonagh said that Friends of Cudgen Nature Reserve has been active since 1998 and works regularly on restoration works within the reserve. “We have undertaken numerous rehabilitation works as a group and in conjunction with other partners including Tweed Shire Council, NPWS and Conservation Volunteers Australia,” Mr McDonagh said. “We have also facilitated plantings with local school groups and one of our objectives is to create educational opportunities and the advancement of environmental awareness in the local community. Mr McDonagh said the group would welcome new members but would love any members of the public to come along and lend a hand planting koala food trees to help revive koala numbers in the area. Meeting Point: Slip Rails Road just off Clothiers Creek Road at Cudgen Nature Reserve. Time: 8am, April 7, for two to three hours work. What to Bring: Sturdy shoes, preferably long pants, water, sunscreen, insect repellent and a hat. Organisers can provide gloves if needed. Morning tea will be provided afterwards. Contact John McDonagh by email: jngmcdonagh@hotmail. com for further information.

Tips For First Time Cruisers

Local News 17

Advertorial

By Kate Webster

CRUISING FOR the first time can be a little daunting, with so much information to take into consideration. In searching for that "just right" first cruise, you've followed all the rules, browsing the different cruise lines, examining possible itineraries and speaking to your travel agent for professional advice. You've booked your ship, selected a stateroom and picked an itinerary. So, what's next? You'd be surprised at how many factors remain to be considered so that you can get off to a stress-free and fun-filled start to your first ever holiday at sea.

Before you go

First step is knowing your cruise documents by reading through the information before you leave. It's your responsibility to ascertain whether you need a passport and any visas for travel, and to acquire the necessary documents prior to cruising. Packing is the next challenge. Different cruise ships have different dress code for evenings (daywear is always casual), which can change daily. Check your travel documents before you pack; each evening's code is usually listed. On some cruise lines there's a formal night, while other cruises may include themed nights. Pack a carry-on with everything needed to get you and your family through to dinner time, in case your bag is delayed. Cruise lines have alcohol policies in place, which vary as to how much, if any, alcohol you can bring onboard with you. Be aware that some have even moved to prohibit passengers from bringing non-alcoholic beverages aboard their ships, in an effort to thwart guests from smuggling in alcohol in decoy bottles. Booking shore tours is recommend prior to cruising to avoid missing out. An updated list of available shore excursions is typically available at least six months before your scheduled departure. Shore excursions can also be booked onboard. Your travel agent will be a great source of information for you in regard to what to expect on-board. Alternatively, the cruise ship websites are packed with information from emergency procedures, laundry, phone calls, internet, medical, babysitting, cash and currency and more.

Getting on-board

You can book your flights to the departure port, unless you intend to drive or catch public transport or a shuttle. Allow enough time in case of flight delays and other transportation glitches. At the pier, cruise and port staff will direct you to the right place for checking in, baggage drop and customs. On Embarkation Day, explore the ship and get organised before partaking in the mandatory safety drill. Pick up a pocket-size map of the ship as the first day you will find yourself lost often. Depending on when you board, you might not be able to access your cabin right away, but the bars and restaurants will be open.

Off cruising

As the ship departs port there is generally some sort of sail away party. It is good to be on deck for this as a number of ports are quite scenic, plus the atmosphere is always fun and will set the mood for your cruise. Depending on the ship, your cabin might have U.S, European or Australian electrical outlets and hair dryers. Check your ship's specifications to determine if you need an adaptor. Either way, it's smart to bring a power adapter, and perhaps a multiple USB-port, as iPhones and cameras will surely need charging. Almost all cruise staterooms have televisions, the channel selection will vary; some lines also offer passengers DVD players or movies on demand. Lastly, a good travel alarm is handy to pack as many cabins are not outfitted with alarm clocks. Once off cruising, the hardest part will be to plan what you will do each day. With not only ports of call, there is

an abundance of activities and experiences on-board. It is worthwhile reading the shipâ€™s newsletter each day as it is packed with valuable information like the port you're about to visit, what the show times are, which dining venues are open when, what lectures are being held or even what the drink of the day is. Some cruise lines have been rolling out phone apps that outline daily programming, too, as an alternative to the traditional printed schedules. Cruise ships run off a cashless system. To make payments easy, you'll receive a swipe card upon check-in (which doubles as your room key) for charging various items and services to an account that can be settled at the end of your trip with a credit card or cash. Dining options will include either flexible/open seating (meaning you dine at whatever time and with whom you want) or more traditional assigned seating (meaning you have a fixed table, dining time and dinner mates for the duration of your sailing) in their main dining rooms. There are usually several other places to dine from pizza parlours to the ship's buffet and specialty restaurants. Most importantly, remember to relax and enjoy yourself. Cruising is a fantastic way to meet new people and explore multiple places while only unpacking once. Most people who cruise will end up cruising again. Last of all, rely on your travel agent for advice and information. There are often information evenings that provide valuable information and time to ask questions; like the upcoming Helloworld and APT/Travelmarvel evening on 10 April showcasing Canada and Alaska (contact Helloworld Tweed City on 07 5523 2535 to book your place.)

Tourism initiatives to share in almost $900K Busy Easter weekend for THE STATE Government has thrown its support behind four Murwillumbah visitor initiatives valued at $887,000 including the entryway and toilet block in Knox Park and the Treasures of the Tweed mural wall. Member for Lismore Thomas George joined with Councillors Warren Polglase and Pryce Allsop, Tweed Shire Council staff and Council General Manager Troy Green to make the announcement at the Tweed Regional Museum on Tuesday, April 4. Mr George said Tweed Shire Council has received $887,000 from the Regional Growth - Environment & Tourism Fund (RGETF) for four visitor initiatives. The first is the Knox Park entry plaza with seating and shade at the Brisbane/ Wollumbin Street entrance, to provide a prominent entry to Knox Park. “$600,000 will be spent on revitalising Knox Park which is a central part of Murwillumbah’s shopping district,” Mr George said. “The bus shelter will be upgraded and a single, centrally located toilet facility will be constructed. “The NSW Government is moving to address concerns raised by Tweed Shire Council over the need to improve the bus shelter and dated toilet facilities, making them as safe and inviting as possible for visitors.” The current two Knox Park toilets will be replaced by the single central toilet facility. Mr George said local police had significant input into the redesign of Knox Park’s entry and had pushed for the design to have more passive surveillance. While the date for completion of the Knox Park entry is yet to be announced it was hoped it could be early 2019.

The second project is the Tweed Regional Museum Caldera Wall, which will offer a visual exhibition of the region’s unique landscape, indigenous culture and flora and fauna. The third is the Treasures of the Tweed mural restoration, which is a huge win for locals as the mural wall is one of the longest in Australia. The fourth and final project is the Murwillumbah Arts and Heritage Precinct App, which Council said would encourage self-guided tours of the gallery and artist studios while also directing visitors to important cultural information. Mr George said the funding would give Murwillumbah a further facelift and celebrate its unique history. “The town prides itself on coming up with innovative ways to encourage

visitors to interact with the local art scene and the NSW Government’s RGETF will encourage that further through the development of the Murwillumbah Arts Precinct App and Caldera Wall. “The beauty of this funding is it allows projects to progress in stages, with no limit on how long a project can take to be completed. “I would greatly encourage other organisations with plans for exciting environment and tourism infrastructure projects to continue following the RGETF process.” Mr George also heaped praise on Tweed Shire Council for their submission for the grant funds and persistence in securing those funds. “Council made a great application to secure these funds and it’s a credit to the community,” he said.

KINGSCLIFF BEACH Holiday Park has received outstanding feedback from visitors over the Easter long weekend with the park filling to capacity with holiday makers eager to rebook next year, according to park manager Luke McKenzie. Mr McKenzie said the beach-side holiday park had been taking a steady flow of bookings since opening earlier this year, with the Easter long weekend a sell out and visitors singing the park’s praises. The holiday park, one of seven managed by Tweed Coast Holiday Parks, closed in January 2017 for a major redevelopment as part of a $21.2 million Kingscliff Foreshore Revitalisation project to enhance and protect the foreshore. The revitalisation project includes the construction of a permanent sea wall to protect the coastline, a major redevelopment of the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park and the creation of Rowan Robinson Park, all of which are now open to the public. The only project that continues on site is the information centre and hall, which are undergoing reconstruction and are expected to be completed this year. “It’s going really well, we’ve been booked out over the long weekend, however there’s still availability for future weekends especially dates outside school holidays,” Mr McKenzie said. Mr McKenzie said the park offers eight cabins and multiple camping sites. “We can take up to 350 people at a time across the park,” he said. “I’d encourage people to book via our online portal, by putting the dates in and checking the availability, alternatively they can give us a call to book by phone.” To find out more about the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park phone 1300 234 121 or visit website: tchp.com.au/tweedcoast-holiday-parks-kingscliff-beach/

Each To Own opens local shop front By Jonathon Howard AN EXCITING new business specialising in unique handmade jewellery and homewares opened its doors in Murwillumbah this week. Each To Own owners Richard and Kirsten Devitt bring their extraordinary skills and passion for creativity to the Tweed Shire where they settled several years ago and have fallen head over heels for. The Weekly caught up with Kirsten during the store’s grand opening day on Tuesday, April 3, to find out more about her background and passion for the Tweed Shire. “My husband Richard and I were so lucky to have been given an opportunity to lead some craft workshops at Splendour in the Grass a few years ago and ended up booking accommodation in Stokers Siding because we were far too old and precious for camping,” she said. “We arrived there and could not believe how beautiful it was.” Kirsten said the couple already have an established online business selling laser cut jewellery and homewares. “But we saw the potential to leave the rat race in Brisbane and come down to the Tweed Shire to live,” she said. “Fast forward three years and we are fully established in our off-the-grid studio on our beautiful Stokers property and totally in love with the community there and in Murwillumbah.” Kirsten said Each To Own offers “loads of colour, fun and sparkle!” “We handmake our own jewellery and homeware brands, Each To Own and Keep-Oh, out of bright and colourful laser

cut acrylic but we have also surrounded ourselves with great crafty friends,” she said. “We have been so lucky to have met great makers at design markets across Australia over the years. “Our friend’s pieces are in the shop with us - it’s pretty wonderful to be able to showcase the best in design from near and far.” Kirsten said Each To Own is also hoping to add workshops to their roster of fun things in the next few months. “We are handmade in the Tweed, of course and we have online customers in every corner of the globe, but we

now have a permanent happy home in Murwillumbah,” she said. Kirsten hopes to create a space for everyone to drop by enjoy the shop and make someone happy with a handmade gift. “We want to become a great place for you to drop in, grab a gift and card, enjoy the shop and make someone else happy with a unique and handcrafted pressie,” she said. “Our motto is “Live Local, Love Local, Shop Local”...local is where we want to be in the future.” To find out more about Each To Own visit the new shop at 12 Commercial Road next door to Sugar Beat Café.

Off-leash debate continues

DOG OWNERS across the Tweed Coast are crying out for a dedicated off-leash dog park as residents continue to debate the benefits and hinderances of keeping dogs on-leash. Councillor James Owen has received local praise for posting an online video with Tweed Shire Council Ranger Mark Bignell explaining the requirements of dog owners in areas not signposted as off-leash and the dangers of disobeying such a directive. Cr Owen’s dog Ben was attacked earlier this year by another dog that was off its lead while on a Tweed Coast beach. The attack resulted in Cr Owen’s dog receiving severe injuries with Ben fortunately making a complete recovery. “Do the right thing and keep your dog on a lead unless in a dedicated off-leash area,” Cr Owen said. Ranger Mark Bignell also emphasised that dog owners could face hefty on-the-spot fines or worse a dog attack. “We have four (off leash) on the beaches and we have ten throughout the shire in parks and reserves,” Mr Bignell said. The comments drew praise from residents but emphasised the number of people ignoring the laws. “Give humans an inch and they take a mile where their dogs are concerned,” one response reads “People are getting tired of it. Our hiking mountain trails are covered with rude owners’ dog faeces until now they need to be policed and fined. Most inconsiderate.” “Well done Tweed Shire Council on this promotion,” another comment reads. “We are sick of going to our beaches and being jumped all over by uncontrolled dogs.” Other comments attempted to draw attention to areas already rife with dog owners letting their pets run wild. “Come to the small beach area in front of Sunrise Cove (Kingscliff),” another comment reads. “Sadly it’s become a haven for folks letting their dogs swim off leash there to the point that at times it can be uncomfortable getting in and out of the waters there. “This is not a leash free area and people regularly let their dogs run along the pathway and foul the grassed area.” However, other dog owners said it was a “joke” that only 14 areas were provided as off leash across the Shire. Tweed Shire Council’s communication team said if there is another location residents would like to see as an off-leash dog area, they can put this request in writing and send it to Tweed Shire Council PO Box 816 Murwillumbah NSW 2484. YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you think the Tweed Shire should have more off-leash areas? Email editor@theweekly.net.au

Mustangs ready to rock Cougars

ROUND ONE of the Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League (NRRRL) tournament kicks off this weekend with the Murwillumbah Mustangs ready to take on the Casino Cougars at Stan Sercombe Oval on Sunday, April 8. The Weekly caught up with Mustangs club secretary Darin Skillington to find out more about the side’s pre-season preparations and the new additions. Mr Skillington said the side was training well with a mix of local juniors joining the ranks in Caleb Howell, Andrew Barnes, Joseph Besgrove and Riley Yates. “We’re also seeing players who have transferred to the club in recent seasons include Dylan Nash, Wayde Kelly and Remi Vignau.” The Mustangs are hoping to improve on the 2017 season with some intensive pre-season training and conditioning. The side also performed well in a trial match against Ballina on Sunday, March 18, although both sides did not include key players and the real test begins with round one this weekend. “Pre-season commenced with training at several beach locations on the coast for conditioning, with training now focusing on game-based training with the first game in sights this Sunday against the Casino Cougars,” Mr Skillington said. “Coach Nathan Jordan is excited about the new season with several local juniors being included into the first grade ranks this season.” Mr Skillington said the club was also eager to hear from new sponsors this season to support local footy.

The Mustangs 2018 squad

“The club will always welcome new sponsors to the club,” he said. The Mustangs have also welcomed several new players keen to make their mark on the 2018 NRRRL season. “Additions to the club are Hadrien Domergue from France joining our other Frenchmen Remi Vignau, making an all French front row,” he said. “Hadrien is a hardworking player who has blended into the club well. “Another new player is Travis Hughan a hardworking lock forward from the

Tugun Club, a no-nonsense player with a terrific work ethic.” On a side note, Mr Skillington said the Ladies League Tag side is strengthening this year. “The Ladies League Tag side improved dramatically throughout the season culminating in a prelimination finals appearance in their first season,” Mr Skillington said. “The side started training early with a big squad under the astute coaching of Brent Saddler.”

Cudgen looking strong for 2018 THE CUDGEN Hornets will take on Lower Clarence in the season opener of the Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League (NRRRL) at Yamba on Sunday, April 8. Coach Pat Rosser said the team is looking good with quite a strong squad this year. “We’ve lost a few key players from the forwards with work commitments over the break so we have four or five new players,” Mr Rosser said. “We still have a good nucleus of players that have done well over the years. “Nothing has changed dramatically with our approach. “The new players bring different levels of experience and some positive energy. “It’s a great opportunity to bring through some local juniors and develop them into first grade players. “There will be a number of young local players that will step up into first grade which is exciting. “We have some new senior experienced club players as well so that will be great for the team. “We’ve played in the last two grand finals and though we didn’t win we are in a really positive place and looking forward to developing young players.” On Sunday, April 15, the Hornets will be up against Ballina in a home game which is a rerun of last year’s grand final. “We have 22 games of football to play, 18 rounds and then four weeks of finals so it’s a long season,” Mr Rosser said. “It’s more about developing a clear plan and process over the first few weeks and then going from there. “We’ve had good hit outs playing two strong Gold Coast teams so it’s about improving cohesion and combinations amongst the new players.” Cudgen Hornets play Lower Clarence Sunday April 8 with kickoff at 2.45pm Tweed Coast Raiders play Northern United Saturday April 7 at Lismore with kickoff at 2.45pm

Local Expert Health Advice – Open 7 Days Get ready for the ﬂu season!

2017 influenza season saw the highest levels of activity since the 2009 pandemic year. Not only this, the season began approximately one month earlier and was more prolonged than the previous 5 years. Influenza (commonly known as the “flu’’) is a viral infection that can be transferred from person to person via fluids and water droplets containing the infection. Symptoms include: headache, muscle aches, fatigue, rapid onset of fever, running nose, sore throat and a cough. So what can we do to prevent and reduce transmission of the virus? • Exclude people with the flu from school, care facilities and work, until symptoms are not present for at least 24 hours. • Wash hands with soap or an alcohol based rub after sneezing, coughing and after contact with nose and throat discharges. Wipe down all frequently touched surfaces with appropriate cleaners. • Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing with a tissue or your arm. Drop used tissues immediately into a rubbish bin and remember to then wash your hands. • Receive an influenza vaccination yearly. Remember, you cannot get the flu from the influenza vaccine, as the vaccine does not contain any live viruses. You may develop mild “influenza-like symptoms’’ (fever, headache) due to your immune system responding to the vaccine. Pain, redness, itching, swelling or burning may be experienced at the injection site, but should resolve in a few days. A small hard lump may also occur and remain for some weeks. Below are some treatment options to consider if you have influenza:

• Paracetamol or Ibuprofen to ease muscle pain and bring down your fever. • Gargling warm water, sucking on sugar-free lollies or lozenges to ease a sore throat. • A hot water bottle or warm bath to help relieve muscle pain. • Decongestants to help shrink swollen blood vessels in the nose, therefore opening up your airways. • Warm, moist air inhalation to reduce congestion. • Vitamins to boost your immune response. Come into the pharmacy to find out more information on products such as Armaforce and Sambucol. • Tamiflu – This is a prescription only medication, used in severe cases. Tamiflu is an antiviral drug. It works by attacking the flu virus to keep it from multiplying in your body and by reducing the symptoms of the flu. Friday the 20th of April Casuarina Discount Drug Store will have a nurse in the store running a flu clinic from 9am to 12pm for people 3 years and above. Please ring 02 66740735 or come in store to book your place or to find out more information. For people who cannot attend this time, Casuarina Discount Drug Store also offers instore vaccinations for people over the age of 18 from Monday to Friday ongoing. Remember if you are eligible for a free vaccine, please contact your GP to book in a time: • all people aged 65 years and over • all children aged 6 months to less than 5 years of age • all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years and over • pregnant women • people aged 5 years and over with medical conditions predisposing to severe influenza

Seniors Festival underway across Tweed Congratulations

to Carol and Gaye

Carol and Gaye are celebrating 30 years at Rosellas

Tweed Shire Council Project support officer Rosemary Beard, Tweed Seniors Festival Working Group Penny Hockings (front), Tweed Shire Council’s Seniors Festival Coordinator and Community Options Case Manager Fiona Holland and Pottsville Community Association Les Hardy.

60s as guests enjoy a complimentary morning tea before the festivities begin. Official duties will include the presentation of the NSW Seniors Festival Award for Tweed by State Member for Tweed Geoff Provest, recognising seniors in the area who have contributed to making the Tweed

Shire a healthier, happier and more inclusive place to live. Seniors Festival events are also being held at Tweed Museums and the Tweed Regional Gallery, with programs available at libraries and Council offices or by visiting tweed.nsw.gov.au/ SeniorsFestival.

THE 2018 NSW Seniors Festival is now underway with more than 40 events to be held across Tweed Shire from now until Sunday, April 15. This year Tweed Shire Council will mark the 60th anniversary of the Seniors Festival with a special senior’s celebration event at St Ambrose Catholic Primary School in Pottsville on Sunday, April 8 starting from 9.30am. The celebration will focus on the best aspects of seniors living in the Tweed Shire and will feature music, activities, information stalls and great food. Council’s Seniors Festival Coordinator and Community Options Case Manager Fiona Holland said the NSW Seniors Festival is something the Tweed community looks forward to every year. “As an area where people from around the country and around the world choose to come and spend their retirement we have an inherently important connection with our local seniors community,” Ms Holland said. “As well as celebrating all the best things about seniors living our goal is to ensure the lines of communication stay open so everyone knows how to access the many services we provide. “The Seniors Festival is about getting out, making new friends and discovering new things about the community around you and we are all looking forward to the event on Sunday as well as other activities over the two weeks.” Much of the entertainment at the Pottsville event will be provided by Tweed’s own Basement Band, house band at the Gold Coast Arts Centre for many years, who will set the mood with rock and jazz hits from the 1950s and

Pottsville twins win Bluesfest Busking Grommet Competition “I’m always looking for opportunities for them to play,” she said. “Last year they won the North Coast Entertainment Industry Association Dolphin Music Awards in the instrumental category. “Then I saw the application for Bluesfest online and you just had to register and turn up. “They had the Grommet heats at the Byron Youth Activity Centre on Saturday, March 24. “The organisers drew names out of a hat and they came out last so it was a long day but they did really well. “We got a call that night to say they were one of the three acts chosen for the final out of 24 so that was really exciting.” The final was held at the Beach Hotel in Byron Bay on Easter Friday. “They did really well and had a big crowd and the crowd really enjoyed it,” Mrs McCulloch said. “Then they announced the winner and we were all surprised the other two acts were really good too. The boys were overwhelmed by it all. “Then they got to play on the Delta Stage at Bluesfest on Easter Monday and they went really well.” Cameron told The Weekly that their win still hadn’t really sunk in. “The crowd at the final was probably the biggest crowd we had played for but I was trying not to think about it and play like we always do,” he said. “Then we got to play at Bluesfest but that was pretty chill. We’d done

it twice leading up to that playing in front of a crowd so it wasn’t nerve-racking. “This is really good exposure and a great kick-start to getting us going, doing more gigs and trying to be successful musicians. “We’ve got some good feedback and a few gigs from it including an invite to Buskers on the Creek at Currumbin later in the year and we’re performing at this year’s Dolphin Awards in Ballina so things are looking pretty good.” Vanessa Bowe is a music and drama teacher at Mt St Patricks

College and has the twins in her Year 10 class. “They are both very talented,” she said. “They practice and work really hard and they just come to life when they perform. “They have had lessons with different teachers here and have their own private lessons and they have performed at our Big Day Out. “They performed on the Buskers Stage and it was amazing. “They get taught all music styles here and they can choose whatever

they like for their senior exams including heavy metal which is great. “Everyone is very proud of them at the college. A notice was sent out to congratulate them. “They are mesmerising to watch. You can see them enjoy it which makes everyone else enjoy it. “They will definitely go far because they are so talented and they work so hard so I’m sure we will hear more from them in the future.”

By Jo Kennett POTTSVILLE TWINS Jaedon and Cameron McCulloch and their band Neon Inferno have taken out the Grommet section of the 2018 Bluesfest Busking Competition. The 15-year-old Mt St Patricks College students beat a field of 24 to make the finals at the Beach Hotel, Byron Bay, where they took the top prize. The twin’s mother Cathy McCulloch told The Weekly that Jaedon started playing guitar when he was eight-years old and really took to it. He has continued to play ever since. “Then Cameron started playing the drums when he was eight or nine and we bought him a drum kit when he was nine,” Mrs McCulloch said. “Most of the time they played together and probably within the first year we noticed how well they picked it up and how keen they were to get better and better. “They got to play a gig at the Brunswick Hotel with Round Mountain Girls because the lead singer, Chris Eaton, teaches at Mt St Patricks College so that was great.” The boys play instrumental heavy metal which Mrs McCulloch said they grew up listening to. “My husband and I love Metallica, Iron Maiden, ACDC and that style of music and play it all the time so that has obviously had a big influence on them.” It was Mrs McCulloch’s idea to enter the Bluesfest Busking Competition.

SHADOW HEALTH Minister Walt Secord has raised the alarm over increased smoking rates across North Coast with fears the increase could place pressure on the local health district. The overall number of smokers in the region had been decreasing since 2012 and hit a record low of 13.5 per cent in 2015. However, according to data from Health Stats NSW, 18 per cent of residents within the Northern NSW Local Health District identified as smokers in 2016, three percentage points higher than the state average of 15 per cent. While Mr Secord said he was “alarmed” by the statewide trend, he said he was even more worried about the increase of North Coast smoking rates. “The North Coast has a health and hospital system under enormous pressure,” Mr Secord said. “The last thing the health system needs is an increase in the number of people smoking and the associated health problems.” Mr Secord said while statewide smoking rates in women remained constant at 11.6 per cent, there had been a 3.1 percentage point jump in males from 15.5 per cent to 18.6 per cent. Those living in regional and remote areas are much more likely to smoke. Major cities recorded a smoking rate of 14.1 per cent in 2016, whilst inner regional

areas had a rate of 17.6 per cent and outer regional and remote 19.9 per cent. Female smoking rates were just over two percentage points higher in regional and remote areas (11 per cent versus 13.4 and 13.7 per cent) whereas male smoking rates were 10 percentage points higher in remote areas (27.6 per cent versus 17.4 per cent) and four percentage points higher in regional areas (21.4 per cent). Overall, the highest single smoking demographic group in NSW is males aged between 35 and 44 years old at 26.9 per cent. The highest smoking rates for women were for those aged between 45 and 54 at 14.6 per cent. Whilst smoking rates have been on a downward trend over the past 15 years from a high of 28 per cent in 2002, Mr Secord said the State Government was not doing enough to reach a smoking target of 10 per cent set by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG). On a positive note, Mr Secord said he acknowledged that smoking rates among pregnant women were dropping. The smoking rates amongst pregnant women in 2005 was 14.3 per cent, however, it has now dropped to 8.3 per cent (2016). Since 2001, the smoking rate during pregnancy has dropped every single year.

consistency and enables the personalised learning and wellbeing that we know is so critical for their success. “Emphasis is placed on communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity and collaboration. Teachers work in teams, sharing their expert knowledge to improve student outcomes through innovative teaching methods in a middle schooling inspired environment.” Year 7 students engage with syllabus content through a combination of collaborative and individual learning activities – including future-focused learning through inquiry and project-based learning. They have access to iPads and are each assigned a laptop to help them engage with the latest educational methods and software, including Google Apps for collaborative document creation. Teacher Andy Mitchell said the LEAP program was allowing teachers to explore and develop future-focused teaching strategies. “This, in turn, inspires students to engage with the curriculum in a more individual way.” Year 7 student Reuben Chmielewski said it was “cool” that students had been involved in designing their own home rooms. “It’s great to have a home room together. The learning environment is fun, and I have enjoyed the group activities and using the iPads,” Reuben said. Murwillumbah High School is planning to extend the LEAP program to year 8 in 2019.

MURWILLUMBAH HIGH School has recently launched an innovative program to help students “leap” from primary school into high school. The Learning Engagement Academic Program (LEAP) helps year 7 students to transition into high school through a range of initiatives aimed at promoting student wellbeing and belonging while extending their skills and knowledge. Key components of the program include students having a ‘home room’ within a state-of-the art year 7 precinct, combining traditional lessons with future-focused teaching and learning strategies, and ‘core teachers’ who are able to individually track each student’s academic progress and wellbeing. Core teachers deliver the related subjects of Maths and Science, and English and Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE), while other specialist teachers guide students through the Arts, Sport and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Murwillumbah High School principal Peter Howes said students were already thriving in the new environment. “For many years I have been concerned that students in their first year of high school can fall through the cracks too easily, either academically or socially or both,” Mr Howes said. “This program means that year 7 students have to move between fewer spaces and teachers, which gives them a sense of

Local farmers helping shire to be next foodie destination By Jonathon Howard LIKE MANY Tweed food producers, Caldera Fine Foods in Tyalgum is helping the shire to become the next “foodie” destination by releasing their latest cocktail syrups using Australian native produce. Caldera Fine Foods owners James and Katie Geralds are based out of a 105-acre sustainable agriculture farm in Tyalgum called Green Cauldron Farm. The couple plan to eventually grow a variety of native produce on their farm and construct a commercial kitchen to produce their cocktail syrups that are already being taken up by a number of local bars and restaurants. “Caldera Fine Foods is our valueadded production business for the farm,” Mr Geralds said. “We currently produce our products in a small commercial kitchen off site but have plans to build a commercial kitchen on the farm in the near future. “We source our raw cane sugar from Condong and we are working with native growers in the region to source as much raw produce as we can from the Tweed and Northern Rivers regions.” Mr Geralds said the couple are passionate about building resiliency into farming as he believes this leads to their goal of creating a sustainable food business. “We aim to develop resiliency into all our practices and to help other farmers become resilient as well through our education

and outreach programs we have planned. “We are also passionate about the Northern Rivers and want to raise the profile of the region to be the next “foodie” destination in Australia.” Mr Geralds said he had conducted a tree species audit on the farm and found there are a few native species on the property. “Having no experience with natives, Katie and I were intrigued and started researching more,” he said. “After trying around 40 different native ingredients we were amazed at the unique flavour profiles the natives exhibited. “We decided to hire a chef and start developing recipes based around these amazing ingredients. “The syrups are the first of many products we have developed using Australian native ingredients. “We decided to launch the syrups first as, with the Commonwealth Games coming to the Gold Coast, we thought it would be an opportunity for visitors from around the world to experience a uniquely Australian flavoured cocktail.” The couple launched their syrup range in March this year with the hopes of getting venues in the Northern Rives and Gold Coast interested in them prior to the Commonwealth Games. “Despite only launching a few weeks ago we have had significant interest and a great uptake,” Mrs Geralds said.

“We have numerous restaurants and bars featuring cocktails using our syrups on their menus. “The list includes; Osteria, Taverna and Bombay Cricketers Club on the Tweed, and The North Room, Lucky Bao, Fu Manchu and Cocotte in the Gold Coast with many more venues to come. “Many other venues from Kingscliff to Surfers Paradise are trialing the syrups and we look forward to their upcoming cocktails. “We will be launching a landing page this week listing which venues are offering cocktails using our syrups. “We source all our ingredients as locally as possible. We are working with Northern Rivers growers of Davidson plum, finger limes and riberry. “We also have plans to grow as many native varieties on our property as the climate will support. “At this stage we are a small batch producer manufacturing in a small commercial kitchen. “We are working with a local restaurateur to access his commercial kitchen to increase production as there has been significant interest in our syrups and we can see the volume of production growing. “We are also planning to build a commercial kitchen on our farm to support our production but also the help other farmers turn their produce into value-added products.” The syrups are currently only available to bars and restaurants,

James and Katie Geralds at their Tyalgum farm

however the couple are hoping to release the syrups to retail in the very near future. “We also have other retail products in the pipeline and plan on launching them in the upcoming months,” Mr Geralds said. “Katie and I spent a long time living and working in Asia. We believe there is great potential for Australian native ingredients to be highlighted globally.

“We hope to raise awareness of these fantastic ingredients locally and internationally and in doing so can create markets for both growers and value-adders in this space.” YOUR BUSINESS: Have you got a local farm producing a new product for commercial or retail markets?

Celebrating Seven Years

Our market is seven years old

this month and we are celebrating on April 18

Jumping Red Ant has the Fuerte avocado that I wrote about last week so there is great choice now with more seasonal produce becoming available. Autumn is a great season in the Tweed. Avocados add such nutritional value and flavour to any meal - sliced avo on toast with poached eggs and a spoonful of sauerkraut for breakfast, coarsely diced through a salad makes your lunch dreamily creamy or smashed with lemon juice, salt and pepper and finely diced onion for a healthy snack served with croutons and rice crackers. If you visit the market’s recipes and tips page on our website you will find the recipe for an Avocado and Lime Tart. Pecans return this month. Kaye and David McNaught of Tweed River Pecans have had their pecan harvesting delayed a little due to the wet weather but they have persisted and are now processing their nuts ready for the market around mid April. These will be available at the Nudgel Nut Stall. Three Sons Coffee Cartel is our new local coffee stall at the market every week. We are thrilled to welcome Tory and Carmen Hirst to the market.

MARKET MANAGEMENT and stallholders wish to thank you for all your support over the past seven years through rain, hail and shine. Our regular customers are what make the market successful, enabling our farming families to keep growing and our local small businesses to keep producing. Let’s make April 18 a really special morning, bring a picnic rug and your friends. Enjoy the ambience created by great music, coffee and chai lattes and delicious food while stocking up on the freshest produce straight from the farm to your table. Eating with the seasons means that we can really celebrate when some of our favourite and most missed fruits or vegies return so this month we are excited to have avocados and pecans returning to the market. Narbey’s Best Avocados is back this week with their Shepard avocados. Shepards are often referred to as green skins as their skins remain green as they ripen. A gentle compression around the neck of this slender elongated avocado let’s you know when it is perfect to eat. Its buttery nutty flavour and non-browning flesh makes it perfect for salads and sandwiches prepared in advance.

Condong Mill first to produce healthier sugar CONDONG MILL is blazing a trail in what could become the next big thing in sugar production by becoming one of the only largescale producers of Low Glycaemic Index (GI) sugar, which has been touted as having wider health benefits. The Low GI sugar, which uses the nucane process, is being exclusively produced by Sunshine Sugar at Condong Mill with the company installing the technology and working closely with the Australian developer, Nutrition Innovation. An Australian technology, the nucane process applies an algorithm throughout the sugar milling stage to retain naturally occurring minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium in the production of cane sugar which has been certified as Low-GI to World Health Organisation Standards. Sunshine Sugar is the first in the world to install the technology to produce nucane. Condong is currently the only mill in NSW that produces a Direct Consumption (DC) or human consumption raw sugar, which has made it a good fit for implementation of this technology into the existing facility and process. The sugar is specifically designed for industrial customers who require a precise and consistent, but healthier specification for sugar to use in their existing brands and recipes. CEO of Nutrition Innovation, Matthew Godfrey said “the world is ready for nucane”.

“What the team here have invented is a potential game changer for world health,” he said. “Nucane is aimed at helping to combat the global obesity and diabetes epidemic via partnerships between sugar mills and brands to increase healthier options for consumers worldwide. It can be used in all forms of food and beverages.” “Given the demand for healthier options in food and beverage recipes this product attracts a number of benefits that will feed back to our growers,” Sunshine Sugar CEO Chris Connors said. Mr Connors pointed out two important aspects of the Low GI sugar production. “Demand for healthier ingredients means low GI sugar will attract a premium price point,” he said. “Because it can be produced at industrial scale volumes, we will achieve a better price than traditional sugar across a reasonable volume of tonnes. “This is a real difference between o u r L ow G I s u g a r a n d a ny comparable competitor products that are only available in small retail packs.” Mr Connors said the new sugar fits Sunshine Sugar’s overall business strategy well. “At the core of our strategy is to diversify and look for new product and market opportunities, as well as continuous improvement in our existing business operations to ensure operational efficiency, productivity and long ter m profitability throughout the

entire supply chain (including our growers),” he said. Sunshine Sugar CEO Chris Connors recently hosted Federal Agriculture Minister, Mr David Littleproud along with local member for Page, Kevin Hogan, to its Harwood Mill and Refinery. “Mr Littleproud clearly has a good understanding of the Australian agricultural sector,” Mr Connors said “This visit was a great opportunity for us to share our specific industry concerns and plans directly with him; with particular focus on our diversification projects such as Low GI sugar.” The Agriculture Minister welcomed the innovation and shared his opposition to the introduction of a sugar tax, saying that he supported people’s right to make their own decisions around personal matters such as food and beverage consumption. Mr Littleproud congratulated the Sunshine Sugar team on the development of their new LowGI sugar and commitment to sustainable practice, and stands ready to support the NSW sugar industry in his role as Minister for Agriculture. The Glycemic Index (GI) is as a scientific ranking of how the foods we eat affect our blood sugar levels in the two or three hours after eating. The index is measured against pure glucose, which has a value of 100 on the index, which ranges from 0 to 100.

Chris Connors, CEO of Sunshine Sugar and Kevin Hogan, Member for Page, holding a bowl of locally produced Low GI sugar with David Littleproud, Minister for Agriculture

High GI foods break down quickly during digestion, releasing blood sugar rapidly into the bloodstream, and cause marked fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Low GI foods on the other hand break down slowly during digestion, releasing blood sugar gradually into the bloodstream, and keeping blood sugar levels stable. Low GI meals also have the benefit of leaving you feeling fuller for longer, easing food cravings and

providing more sustained energy levels. In terms of long-term health, low GI diets are important to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes or heart disease. For those who have already been diagnosed with diabetes, low GI diets have been shown to improve both lipid and glucose levels, maintain more stable insulin levels and reduce insulin resistance, which is important in reducing the risk of long term diabetes-related complications.

THE EASTER weekend is always a beauty and once again it delivered. Plenty of penalties but at the end of the day if you are offside you are offside and six second tackles inside the ‘cage’ (the 10m) to the tryline is ridiculous. Hopefully the players wisen up and the ref’s ease up to settle things down. The tipsters are having some dramas with some favourites continuing to get rolled. The Titans bounced back against Big Brother Broncos in good style, they were very impressive and the seven Ash Taylor is playing super and great to see them take the home game to Gladstone this week. I think the Broncos are in strife, sneaking a win due to a goalpost against the Cowboys and then being lucky against the Tigers and a shellacking against the Titans - can they get out of it? I hope so. The Cowboys sit one win out of four and have to travel to New Zealand this weekend to take on the unbeaten Warriors who absolutely put the Roosters to the sword on the weekend. Speaking of unbeaten, the Dragons are really breathing fire. They did this last year and paddled - surely they have addressed that from last year and will continue to thrive.

at the Footy with Quinny The Bulldogs threw away two points against a tough Rabbits team. The Raiders are winless but have escaped any fan fare because the Eels haven’t sung the song yet. Touted as top four specials this year, they are pushing the proverbial uphill from now that they are probably giving five wins start to some of these teams that will be hard to run down, add to that, the SG Ball team who won the comp last year got beat by 60 last week! The Denver test between New Zealand and England has caused some controversy but I for one think it’s a great idea and we do need to expand the game and showcase it in the US. Great to see Murwillumbah product Aaron Booth staring for Wynnum Manly in the Q Cup getting a win on the weekend. The juniors have the Conaghan shield on the weekend to kick the season off and is always a great day. The NRRRL kicks off this weekend with the Stangs taking on Casino at Stan Sercombe on Sunday. See you at the Footy, Quinny

Exploring the spirit of art

FILMS th Mia wi

FINDING YOUR FEET Do you remember Woody Allen’s wonderful Blue Jasmine and its tragic depiction of a mind falling apart after a marriage breakdown despite the protagonist’s attempt to find some relief through the support of her sister? Well, Finding Your Feet in some ways is a positive version of that story. It is a hilarious and heart-warming comedy that will convince us there is always hope and we can always start anew, because every day is the first day of the rest of our life..!

THUR. 12TH

“Anyone interested in art that represents unity in diversity and of spiritual nature can be involved simply by engaging in this show.” David also spoke about his creative approach to MAT18’s theme of Moving On. “Moving On means understanding your own nature with all god’s creation and all it has to offer for our upliftment and happiness,” he said. “My next project will be travelling to India and Bali in winter and finishing my new studio at home which is still in construction.” Studio88 is located at 88 Murwillumbah Street and will be part of MAT18 from May 18 to May 27.

The plot is simple: during the party to celebrate the awarding of their “Lord and Lady’ titles, Sandra Abbott suddenly discovers that her husband of forty years is having an affair with her best friend. Devastated, she seeks refuge in London at her estranged, older sister Bif’s home. The two sisters could not be more different: the snobbish and arrogant Sandra is a fish out of water next to her outspoken, serial dating, free spirited sibling who lives on an innercity council estate. But that difference is just what can save Sandra: she reluctantly lets Bif drag her along to a community dance class where she meets her sister’s friends, Charlie, Jackie and others, a colorful group of defiant and energetic third-agers who start to show Sandra that retirement is a beginning, and that divorce could be her new lease of life and love. The casting of actors in the film is perfect, making the story completely believable even if it is not very realistic: Imelda Staunton has the unglamorous look of the next door neighbor, Celia Imrie can still do a sexy dance despite her age, Joanna Lumley is as outrageous as ever, and Timothy Spall has a very endearing soft look. So, if you are in need of a feel-good piece of entertainment, Finding Your Feet is the one..!

Cafe has a varied collection of Asian sculptors and paintings my own jewellery, textiles object arts and of course my artworks, prints and mixed media works on canvas, screen prints, collage, found objects sculptors.” David has lived in the Tweed Shire for the past 10 years and he’s grown to love the shire’s diversity and beauty. “As a working artist my passion in the art world is to present to the public things that uplift the soul and represent transcendental concepts and images,” he said. “These are some off the art that will be presented in Studio88 for MAT18, focusing on my recent travels to Indonesia and specifically Bali and its culture and beauty.

MURWILLUMBAH VISUAL artist and Studio88 owner David Benson is your featured artist for the Murwillumbah Art Trail 2018 (MAT18). David has been a visual artist since he left art school in Paddington, Sydney, in 1978 and since that time he’s experienced much of what the world has to offer in the way of visual arts. “After travelling Asia and India for some time, I joined the Hare Krishna in Nepal India,” he said. “Later in Australia in 1981, I became an initiated Brahmin Gaudia priest at a north Sydney temple and since that time I have owned art galleries in Sydney, Hunter Valley, Aireys Inlet Victoria, Emerald Beach, Alstonville and Coolangatta. “I am the current owner of Studio88 in Murwillumbah which has also become agents for Pro Hart, the Boyd family artist, Brett Whitely, Ken Jonstone and more.” Over the years, Alexander has exhibited widely in Australia and has had many solo shows in prominent galleries including his main gallery for 25 years at Micheal Commerford Gallery, Edgecliff, Sydney. “I have also been a designer for labels like Country Road, Kadu Surf Wear, Holy Cow Creations and more,” he said. “Presently my studio in Murwillumbah above the Austral

Last year’s Stone & Wood open day was a huge success

for purchase from the merchandise tent on the day with all profits from the shirt sales donated to Wedgetail Retreat.” Visitors can peruse the many market stalls featuring local artisans, illustrators, painters, ceramicists and upcycled timber as well as food stalls from the Murwillumbah Farmers Markets, Mad Mountain Farm and Tropical Fruit World. “All will be selling their goods, wares and some are offering workshops, including, Boomerang Bags and Bee Folk – creators of Beeswax Wraps,” a spokesperson for Stone & Wood said. “Food trucks JR Smokehouse and JuJu’s, two of the region’s best, will be pulling up to keep bellies full. “A coffee cart will be there for any needing a caffeine buzz, plus there’ll be a soda and water refill station for hydration.” Among some of the other amazing changes this year Stone & Wood will be operating a cup exchange initiative, eliminating single use cups from their events. “All our beers will be poured in our re-useable cups,” the Stone & Wood spokesperson said. “Exchange them for a fresh beer or refund them on exit or keep them as a momento from the Open Day.” The Open Day will take place from 11am to 5pm on Saturday, April 14 at 35 Kite Crescent, Murwillumbah.

Groove & Graze at Cabarita

NORRIES HEADLAND at Cabarita will provide a picturesque background for Groove & Graze, a seaside food and music street festival on Saturday April 14. Coordinator Peita Gardiman said there will be something for everyone with 10 food trucks, arts and craft stalls, music, facepainting and a jumping castle. “It’s on the first weekend of the NSW school holidays and will be a place where friends and the community can get together with street food and music and all sorts of entertainment,” Ms Gardiman said. “They can bring a picnic blanket and enjoy the beautiful setting at the top of the headland and there is also the new children’s park and the beach to enjoy so it should be a really nice day for the community.” Ms Gardiman said she is also looking for other community groups and not-forprofits who would like to get involved.

“It will be a great forum for those groups looking for new members who want to let the community know about the work they do,” she said. “There are a few art and craft stalls as well and we’d love to have some more makers stalls so anyone who is interested in having a stall can contact me.” Ms Gardiman said she would love to see residents from all over the Tweed Shire join in the fun. She is planning on running a few popevents with her company Curl Creative Events during the year and is building up to a larger event at the Tweed Foodie Festival later in the year. Community groups, not-for-profits, local businesses or market vendors interested in having a stall, information stand or activity at Groove & Graze can contact Peita Gardiman at curlcreative@outlook.com

STONE & WOOD will once again welcome locals and visitors into their Murwillumbah Brewery for their annual open day in support of Wedgetail Retreat on Sunday, April 14. The inaugural Murwillumbah Brewery open day held last year attracted more than 2,000 people with plenty of locals expressing their interest in seeing the event re-run in 2018. The family friendly event will open from 11am to 5pm and will include brewery tours, scrumptious food, live bands, local artists, Malt Disney (for the kids), market stalls and cold beers straight from the source. One of the most popular aspects of the festival is beer and back by popular demand from last year is Stone & Wood’s exclusive pilot batch called ‘Murbah Swamp Beer’. Swamp Beer is an ode to a legendary local tale that took place in 2001 when a semitrailer carrying pallets of beer ran off the Pacific Highway. “As cartons of brews fell into the Tweed River the locals wasted no time in diving in to salvage what they could (some were still icey-cold),” a Stone & Wood spokesperson said. “For those frothers who’ve followed the Murbah Swamp Beer tale, we’ve also created an exclusive, organic cotton Swamp Beer Tee which will be available

Featured Business Gayle Russell, Gestalt psychotherapist. I have been in practise for 18 years and moved to the Murwillumbah area in late 2016. Since that time I have thrown myself into community involvement – in two local groups: Creative Caldera – the (annual) Murwillumbah Art Trail and Earth Learning Inc.

It is immensely helpful in relation to improving all relationships, including the issues that can and generally arise in many families, including blended families – including step-family situations and single parenting.

Gestalt can be profoundly healing and is helpful for all ages and for both individuals or couples. My rates are very affordable with concessions available.

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 Cutaway section of a typical electric hot water heater

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!

Bowls Notes THE TWEED Byron Womens Bowls Pennant season is coming to an end and results in three categories are now finalised following several rain-affected matches. The last day, last round and the last game for Grade 3 was washed out and is yet to be played this week. Pottsville’s Grade 1 ladies, courtesy of Women’s Bowls NSW wisdom in controversially re-elevating the side and bringing about a ‘stand-alone’ situation, have been automatically declared the winner in this category. Grade 2 featured a three-way competition with Cudgen Leagues, Cabarita Beach and Kingscliff in centre ring. Cabarita held a narrow lead on the points board up to the last round but were pipped at the post by Kingscliff winning their last round to give themselves an overall 0.5 point advantage on the points table to claim victory. Grade 3 with five clubs vying for the flag developed into an exciting competition.

with Judy Tuckey

Leaders on the points tally sheet alternated several times during the rounds. At the time of writing, declaration of a winner in this category has come down to the wire. Brunswick Heads is on 24.5 points with all games completed. Kingscliff is holding 23 points with one game to come, that will finalise this competition. My apologies for not being able to advise the final results in this edition. Ocean Shores proved to be the shining star in the Grade 4 group of six clubs competing. This little club, with very limited membership, gathered their troops to form a team together with only three players, Sam Curtis, Dot Gardiner and Mary Wilks available to sit on the reserve bench. Ocean Shore succeeded in winning the first nine rounds with overall points in each game. Whilst the team was pipped by Cabarita, with minimal margins on both rinks, in the final game in round 10, they still scooped the pool in this category with an overall 40 points to win the flag.

Fairytale finish for Mick!?

AS I write this column the Rip Curl Pro has been called off until Thursday, meaning today (April 5) could be one of the biggest fairytale endings of a career in sporting history or the end of a great career. Mick Fanning is in the quarter finals and three more heat wins would see him win a

record fifth Bells comp, and finish as ratings leader as he retires. Wow wouldn’t that be a way to go out! Mick Fanning has to get past Owen Wright first of all, then two more to achieve this remarkable feat and top off an awesome career. 17 years on tour, three world titles and an amazing number of event wins, in fact one of the four most winnings surfers in history. Go Mick!

finals and the six-time world champion has to take on 16-year-old superstar Caroline Marks. The youngest ever surfer to qualify for the World Tour at 15 years of age, Marks has been a giant killer and now takes on Stephanie Gilmore in the semi-finals. Stephanie Gilmore is looking smooth and surfing well, could this be the start of a campaign for a 7th World Title? It would be a great double if both Mick and Steph can win, but that may be all said and done by the time you read this.

TEAMS FROM Coffs Harbour to Noosa

are getting ready to surf in the Sailor Jerry regional qualifier at Cabarita Beach next weekend. On April 14 and 15 the best clubs will be surfing to qualify for the National Finals to be held at Duranbah Beach on April 27 and 28, to qualify to be the number one tag team club in Australia. Cabarita and Kingscliff will have strong teams, but will face some stiff competition from Snapper Rocks, Burleigh, Coffs Harbour, Le Ba (Lennox/Ballina) and Byron Bay. The tag team format is exciting to watch and I encourage everyone to go down to Cabarita next weekend to check out some great action. There is also the qualification for the women’s National Final as well with Dbah Boardriders coming on as favourites, winning numerous national titles for the girls, but Snapper Rocks will be hot on their heels. I’ll see you at Cabarita next weekend, or I’ll catch you in the waves. Tappa

Murwillumbah High team selected to represent region

MURWILLUMBAH HIGH School’s senior boys volleyball team has achieved an unprecedented feat by being selected to represent the North Coast Region. The team performed well at the NSW Regional Volleyball Championships, held last week, finishing first in the North Coast region and sixth overall. The boys won five matches and lost four, losing only to Sydney teams that placed in the top three. The entire team has been selected to represent the North Coast at the NSW knock-out competition in Sydney during the first week of Term 3. Coach and teacher Carl Marshall said typically a regional zone team would be made up of two or three players from one outstanding school team along with top players from other schools. “I’ve been coaching for over thirty years at all levels of the sport, and I’ve never before seen a school team turn into the Zone team,” Mr Marshall said. “This group of individuals is exceptional. “They’ve been training twice a week every week of every term since Year 8, and they’re now in Year 12.

“Their commitment to the game and to each other is wonderful, and huge success has followed, despite the fact that they get almost no match practice because there are no volleyball competitions for them to compete in between Coffs Harbour and Brisbane. “It’s just a product of their love of the game, dedication to training, and a highly intelligent and sophisticated understanding of the game’s mechanics – they’re all very high academic achievers as well as athletes, and very able at balancing their commitments.” Playing as a school team in the NSW Regional Volleyball Championships, and despite being in the junior category playing seniors in their first years, they have not been beaten within the region for four years. The team finished tenth school in the state finals in 2015, eighth in 2016 and fourth in 2017, all against teams with routine match experience. This year they boys are hoping for an even better finish. Murwillumbah High has a high number of representatives at regional and state level across a variety of sports and a high profile in the Arts despite its status as a small regional high school of 430 students.

Call out for female rugby players

CASUARINA BEACH Rugby Club is looking for girls to try their hand at rugby union. The competition begins on Friday, April 27, and Women’s Coaching Director at the club, Tony Wright, told The Weekly that the game has a lot to offer. “It’s a really fun, dynamic sport and there are pathways to the Olympic and Commonwealth Games as well as the opportunity to travel overseas and play with other local clubs,” Mr Wright said. “Tackling is only a minor part of the game and there is really good camaraderie. “We’re looking for girls in the under 13s, 15s, 17s and open age division and they don’t have to have played before. “You can come down to a training session and have a go even if you are unsure about it and if you like it you can stay and if you don’t then no loss, no foul.” Girls play Rugby 7s with seven-a-side and rules similar to Oztag. Bree Hawkins has a background in rugby administration and was called in to help recruit females but soon got roped in herself. “It’s such a fun team game,” Ms Hawkins said. “It’s not as rough as the men’s rugby you see on TV.

“It’s fun and just a good run basically. “With training we teach how to fall properly in tackles and how to tackle properly so when you go down in a tackle you aren’t going to be injured. “With rucks and mauls players come running at you and you can anticipate it and your team comes in to protect you and the ball and that’s how the game keeps flowing - it’s very quick. “There is a lot of team work and protection, not like league where it’s hit after hit.” Ms Hawkins said that age is no barrier either. “We have a couple around 40-years old down to younger girls,” she said. “It’s such a fun, fast game, great for fitness, and camaraderie and something different for girls to do. “My daughter is going to have a run this year - she’s only 12 but with good training it’s more of a fun run around. “We had a gala at Casuarina for Year 6 students with four girls teams and I coached one team and most of them were really nervous but by the end of the game they were jumping up and down saying, ‘This is the best, I want to play’. “Once they get over the stereotype and the idea it’s a boy’s game they just love it.”

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC Keith Kennedy

CUDGEN NIPPERS held a special Twilight Nippers last Friday afternoon in conjunction with a visit from the Japan Swimming School. More than 30 Cudgen nippers and 12 students from the Japan Swimming School attended the afternoon. A range of activities included flags, an obstacle course and a wade. Lots of fun was had by all and the swimming school students thoroughly enjoyed their introduction to nippers, Cudgen Nippers’ families hosted the Japan Swimming School students for their stay over the Easter break. We will look forward to their visit again next year.

They also competed at a night carnival at the shark-meshed Coogee Beach. The team was managed by Cudgen President and Point Danger Secretary, Percy Stephens. Cudgen members Lyle Hannah and Hugh Small were part of the touring team. Our march past team was selected as one of thirty clubs to take part in the Opening Ceremony of the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane. Freshwater was the only other NSW team invited.

Barbarians season launch

THE FAR North Coast Rugby Union season will kick off on Saturday, April 7, with the Casuarina Beach Rugby Club hosting a big launch at the Barbarians home field. There will be a host of activities before the first and second grade teams take the field against Ballina. Director of Rugby and Head Coach of the Barbarians and former Waratahs player Adam Leach said that the season launch will begin with the juniors at 11.30am and that each coach and registered team member would be introduced. “Players will be welcomed and then the juniors will be invited on stage to receive their club cap and singlet,” Mr Leach said. “There will be skirmish and jumping castle free for all registered players between 12pm and 3pm. “That will be followed by a free sausage sizzle and the customary game of touch, including coaches, players and parents, which is always fun. In the lead up to the season launch Casuarina has had impressive trials against teams from Melbourne, Noosa and a touring Japanese team. “We’ve got a really strong team this year because we have recruited really well and have a lot of new members,” Mr Leach said. “We have some really good backs who are experienced in their positions so can make good decisions at the right time. “We also have some fast young players who have a good balance in the back line so it will be important for the forwards to establish a good platform providing the backs with enough quality ball to operate. “It’s going to be an exciting season and we are all really looking forward to it.” The 2018 season launch will be held at the Casuarina Beach Rugby Fields, Tweed Coast Road Casuarina. Juniors launch commences at 11.30am with Skirmish and a Jumping Castle from 2pm-3pm. Second Grade Barbarians vs Ballina kicks off at 1.50pm. First Grade Barbarians vs Ballina kicks off at 3.15pm.
