Power Independence with Solar Batteries

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

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

24 Hour Solar Power

With Feed in Tariffs now ridiculously low, there is no point left in sharing solar power with the grid. At 6 cents per kWh it is not equitable to export power when you have to buy your energy back later at 30 cents. Solar Power Battery Storage is the best way to beat the unfair electricity network and create energy independence today. 888 Solar Tek, a local solar company based in the Northern Rivers, is providing revolutionary new technology that slashes the cost of battery storage, providing 24 hour solar power to homes. With custom designs based on your energy use, they maximise the benefits of your investment and deliver a cost effective solution for your power needs. They offer a free energy assessment and are delivering hybrid and off-grid power systems that are much cheaper than buying from the grid.

888

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

Government subsidies for solar export to the grid will end this year in NSW. If you are you one of the smart people in the Northern Rivers who are benefiting from the 60 cent per kWh export you will need to make plans for the coming changes. Payments under this plan expire at the end of 2016, leaving solar owners with 4 - 6 cents for each kWh exported after then. 20,000 homes in the Northern Rivers will have to install new meters to be able to use the power they now export entirely to the grid. 888 Solar Tek, your local hybrid and off-grid solar experts, have developed a smart migration plan, which will eliminate 80% or more of your ongoing power charges. They can install additional solar panels and battery storage now, to cover all of your daily energy use, slashing power charges.

The Truth About the

Every cent of the Solar Bonus generated by your existing system is collected right up until the end of the scheme, when both system are combined. Your new hybrid solar system allows greater independence and typically pays for itself in 3-5 years. 888 Solar Tek tailor the new solar system around your existing equipment and provide 12 months free monitoring and support. If you have very low electricity usage you may choose to go off the grid altogether to eliminate fixed supply charges that make up a large part of your bill. 888 Solar Tek have new technologies that can operate both on and off the grid. This makes staged transition to energy self-sufficiency cost effective and avoids costly equipment change-over.

REAL Cost of Solar Batteries...

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

Many new battery technologies have leapt into the solar arena and early adaptors have had mixed reports about the real value of their performance. Not all that glitters is gold and some of the best PR campaigns have hidden the real cost of new solar batteries. The real test for new battery technologies is measured by their ability to deliver a cost per stored kWh below grid price. Every battery has a life span in the number of cycles of charge and discharge they can achieve before they lose capacity, with 60% being the standard for end of life. The cost of batteries divided by the cycle life gives the best measure of their value.

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

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

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

888 Solar Tek is the top-selling retailer for solar battery systems in the Northern Rivers. We supply customised new or retrofit systems to match your power use - not a one size fits all package. You get personalised service with free 12 month system monitoring. The electricity grid is a huge monopoly that serves the large generators and retailers. Selling your solar power for 6Â˘ per kWh or less is unfair! Beat the network by generating and storing all of your own power now. Call us for free, honest advice before you buy anywhere else.

NSW Solar bonus scheme ends this year!

The Sanden EcoÂŽ Hot Water Heat Pump System use up to 78% less energy than conventional electric water heaters. Quicker and easier to install than solar, you get the savings right away. Sanden is the most efficient and eco-friendly hot water heat pump system on the market, offering up to 50% faster heat recovery than its competitors. Call us for all your Solar Hot Water needs on 02 6688 4480.

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

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

Tweed schools funding shortfall hits $5.78million

IN A JOINT media release Shadow Minister for the North Coast Walt Secord and Tweed Labor Councillor Reece Byrnes have slammed the NSW Government for Tweed’s school maintenance backlog, which is among the longest in the State with hundreds of children studying in cramped and dilapidated classrooms. Mr Secord said documents obtained by Labor under freedom of information laws reveal that a record $5.78 million in repairs are urgently needed across 20 Tweed schools with the worst at Kingscliff High School. The backlog of repairs include toilet block upgrades, carpet replacements, leaky and damaged roofs and cracked windows. Mr Secord and Cr Byrnes said they had teamed up to draw attention to the neglect of Tweed schools and are calling for immediate action. According to Mr Secord there’s also a statewide record $775 million worth of repairs needed across NSW schools. “However, documents also confirm the Government has allocated a paltry $65 million to schools to address this backlog – only eight per cent of the total backlog,” he said. Data shows that in the Tweed, there are four schools with an individual maintenance backlog in excess of half a million

dollars and nine schools with an individual maintenance backlog in excess of $200,000 (see table below). “At current funding levels, some schools will not have their maintenance backlog cleared until 2046,” he said. “Only one school has received the appropriate allocation. “This is the latest example of the failure and neglect by the National Party and its local MP Geoff Provest. “Students cannot learn if they have smelly carpets and leaky roofs. It is also unfair to have broken and unhygienic bathrooms. Cr Byrnes said the funding shortfall was desperately needed to enable to best outcomes for Tweed students. “Kingscliff High, Tweed River and Banora Point Public have a maintenance backlog of almost $2 million under Geoff Provest and the Nationals,” he said. “The Nationals continue to neglect the needs of locals on the North Coast. Our children and their families deserve better. They deserve to have clean and safe classrooms.” Mr Provest was contacted for comment in regards to the funding shortfall and a response is expected to be available for the next edition. YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you think more should be allocated to keep Tweed schools up-to-date? Send your letters or views to editor@theweekly.net.au

The Bahai Faith “Ye are the fruits of one tree and the leaves of one branch”

Labor concerned by Mr Hazzard’s comments THE LABOR Party has called on NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard to clarify his comments on the long awaited Tweed Hospital upgrade promise – with a surprise claim that the Berejiklian State Government was now considering a “greenfield site hospital development”. “Obviously there is some redevelopment that is likely to have to occur if there’s a greenfield site development at some point, because greenfield sites take a while to plan and to construct,” Mr Hazzard said. “That’s certainly part of what the hospital management has been looking at. “Nobody would deny that when you rebuild on an existing site it’s often more expensive.

Container located at Murwillumbah Truck Centre

“Sometimes it’s easier just to start from scratch.” NSW Shadow Health Minister Walt Secord, who raised the concerns, said the remarks were a “bolt from the blue”. “We note that Mr Hazzard is new to the role, but I hope this is not another cruel trick to divert medical staff and patients from the need for improvements at Tweed Hospital – and its original promise.” Mr Secord said the most recent data showed that there were 906 patients waiting for elective surgery including: 257 for orthopaedic surgery; 226 for ear, nose and throat surgery; 169 for gynecological procedures; 78 for knee replacements; 50 for hip replacements; 53 for tonsillectomies; and 18 for gall bladder removals.

Make your vote count without party politics

Tweed Shire Councillor Warren Polglase recently stated in a near fullpage newspaper article that: “the first impression of the Tweed Shire looks daggy. Visitors will just drive on, they won’t want to come near it because it looks so bad”. These comments were made by the Councillor together with a plea for the planting of more trees in the Tweed Shire entry (Tweed Valley Way). The Councillor’s epiphany to plant trees was very short lived, when at the recent Council meeting (Thursday, February 2) he voted against planting large amounts of trees and beautifying the entry to the Tweed Valley Way. The only conclusion to be reached from Polglase’s change of mind is that the motion to plant trees came from the progressive side of Council and not from himself. If Councillor Polglase is truly in favour of beautifying, planting more trees and greening the entry to the Tweed Shire he should stop merely talking about it in the newspaper and vote for it in Council. Andrew Bennett, Murwillumbah

Take a longterm view to find success

Professor of Biomedicine Alan Mackay-Sim, Australian of the Year 2017, wants to take the politics out of research. This can be seen as a plea for scientists, rather than the people, setting the agenda of what needs to be researched. Alan says researchers need a long view. It’s not just researchers who need this. All humans do, particularly in this period of habituated short sightedness. In this regard, it is extremely important that philosophy and science walk hand-in-hand. The short sightedness extends to scientists thinking their enquiry into individual technologies is far sighted. It isn’t compared to enquiry into whether the side effects of all

Why leave Pottsville & District Men’s Shed in limbo

As per your question in the TVW (Thursday February 2, 2017) Councillors should give the greenlight at Black Rocks Sports Field in accordance with previous Tweed Shire Council resolutions. There is no other immediate suitable site available despite to claims of a few. It has been three years plus, since the Pottsville and District Men’s Shed (PDMS) started the process with Council and only after executing the final hurdle the Mayor decides the site is not the best option, preferring a Crown Land site at 3 Centennial Ave, Pottsville. If this is the Mayor’s preferred site why didn’t she opt to progress transfer from Crown Land to the PDMS then, rather than knowing wait until it’s all said and done, then refuse to sign off as a consequence of being a new council. The Mayor says she is a Men’s Shed supporter, however her actions give the Pottsville another view and that is possibly the only Mayor in the country that has opted to not support the Men’s Shed concept, bearing in mind the licence for the PDMS was to be a maximum of five years pending acquisition of a longer-term site. What community support? Gary Sadler, Pottsville

Can’t help the Men’s Shed until they help themselves

The letter in TVW Thursday Feb 2 2017 is obviously from a Men’s Shed member, but is unsigned. Perhaps he, like many other Shedders and a lot of the community, is completely misinformed, because the president refuses to disclose the content of an email from Troy Green, Council’s General

Manager, dated July 19, 2016, in which Mr Green confirms advice that Council has no authority over Lot 3 Centennial Drive. The email instructs the Men’s Shed committee to do as Crown Lands and the Australian Men’s Shed Association have advised and apply to Crown Lands under the Memorandum of Understanding between the State Government and the Australian Men’s Shed Association. While the Men’s Shed committee wrongfully refuses to make such application and seeks to deceive the community and many of its own members about the issue of site availability, Council should be simply telling them “sorry, we can’t help you until you help yourselves”. They should not be granting a license to use land at Black Rocks while no proper application has been made for an alternate site. The Men’s Shed have the solution to the problem of a permanent location in their own hands, but they have improperly banned discussion and investigation. Why? What is their real objective? Council does not have the authority to grant them or deny them Lot 3 or any other Crown Land lot, and AMSA specifically advises Sheds against going through Council to secure Crown Land sites. Lorraine Cobcroft, Pottsville

Council should walk in my shoes for a day

Today (Thursday, January 2) whilst doing my daily walk down Dungay Creek Rd, I see that there is finally a Council crew mowing the sides of the road. This is also the week that Granada stop filming and the traffic will no longer be an issue for at least seven months. My issue is with the Tweed Shire Council whom approved the Granada DA, not Granada itself. Every day I walk I encounter countless cars and buses. Most of the road has grass to my shoulders either side and I cannot walk off the road, I cannot see the vehicles and they cannot see me. I cannot walk with headphones listening to music like those in town. My walk is a constant listening out for traffic that could possibly be coming around a corner hidden by grass. This is also very stressful for the Granada drivers who work up and down the roads every day. I walk for my health and must do so. Is it not the responsibility of the Council that approves this development application to make sure that what they have approved does not cause harm to the occupants of the street? I accept they are here, but do not accept that the council just approves a DA and then takes

Now hold your tax accusations a minute PM

At his National Press Club Address, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull accused Labor of being a high taxing government. This is blatantly wrong and is in fact a lie. The Liberals have always been the highest taxers as the figures here clearly show. These are the ten highest taxing governments. 1986-7 (Hawke 23.2%); 2000-1 (Howard 24.1%); 2001-2 (Howard 23.2%); 2002-03 (Howard 24%); 2003-4 (Howard 23.9%); 2004-5 (Howard 24.2%); 2005-6 (Howard 24.2%); 2006-7 (Howard 23.7%); 2007-8 (Howard 23.7%); 2019-20, MYEFO Figure, (Turnbull 23.2%).

“No business commenting”

D Norris (TVW, Feb 2) once again feels the need to offer up advice about the Mens Shed issue. Yes Mr Norris, as you say, one should not underestimate the community’s ability to differentiate between fact and fiction. You might like to peruse the hundreds of Facebook comments and thousands of signatures on their petition overwhelmingly supporting the Mens Shed at BR, to see just how the community is angered by the propaganda initiated by a very small minority. You say there has been unjustified denigration of councillors. Given your allegiance to Cr Milne and the Greens, of course you would support them. However, the truth of the matter

is that Cr Milne and her fellow Greens in council have done nothing to help the Men’s Shed cause. The community understands that it was the Council who directed the Mens Shed to Black Rocks in the first place, It was the Council who assisted with and approved the DA for the MS at BR. It was the Council who approved the construction certificate and ultimately approved the issue of the license. Then along came the election, and Cr Milne supported by her three new “Green” councilors, decided to ignore public support and voted to defer the license. In mid 2016 acting Mayor Bagnall stated in chambers that he was disappointed that his staff could not identify another site for the shed. It’s a pity the councillors listen to unsubstantiated comments and hearsay rather than facts about the Mens Shed issue. Contrary to Mr Norris’ statement Barry Sheppard Oval is not more central to PADMS members catchment. Safety is a very real concern of members and a weekend paper correctly pointed out that tenure at the Primary School is an unknown timeframe. Non members such as Mr Norris certainly have no business commenting about funding the Mens Shed may or may not have. U n s u b s t a n t i a t e d h e r e s ay statements have no place in this ongoing debate. Once again I urge the community to get behind the ever increasing push to reclaim their sports field at Black Rocks, from the small minority who want it revegitated. Chas Armstrong, Pottsville

What is allowed in this town?

Can’t use Black Rocks for a Men’s Shed. Now the airport is bad and not to be used – a Mayor that wants tourists to find another way to get to Tweed, even by non-existent trains. Cr Cherry forgot to mention at last week’s meeting that her number two on her ticket, is fighting the airport in court, and that the airport gave that same person about $250,000 to relocate the pony club; so Cr Cherry has to say the airport is bad to keep friends with her number two. Now we have young Reece Byrnes, telling us he does not support the airport masterplan. This is the same Reece that told Men’s Shedders were responsible for the death of 1000s of koalas, when he voted against them getting their temporary licence. G Kelly, Hastings Point Editor’s Note: A letter that appeared in last week’s edition (February 2) did not have a name. The letter was infact from Andrew Haywood.

no further interest in the street or the activities. It is not my job to contact Council time after time to let them know of the danger. Will the council address the issues with a water extraction facility in our street the same way? Will the council show the same disregard for the safety of the land as they do for my safety? We pay higher rates as those in town, however we do not have paved footpaths. I would also like to stress that I do not believe this is an issue for Councillors. Those in the planning department whom advise Councillors of the viability of a project do not seem to be taking all issues into account. They should come on a walk with me down our street in the middle of filming season. Will I be compensated by the issues that 19 metre trucks will cause if approved? Lucille Campeanu, Dungay

technologies are killing the planet. In Alan’s own discipline concerned with health, biomedical research can be seen as enquiry into the short term. The long view with health, is enquiry into the health effects of the deterioration of food, water, air (the three bases of life), the increasing toxins in the environment and the stress that automatically accompanies civilisations’ reversion to hierarchical social structures. Science is currently not primarily concerned with these long-term health effects. Its enquiry into fixing symptoms with biomedicine, is therefore short term and superficial. Furthermore, since humans uniquely have access to long-term perception, their habitual clinging to short-term solutions can be seen as reticence in leaving the pre-human condition. Geoff Dawe, Uki

Fight brewing over Gold Coast Airport expansion plans Airport growth needed for A FIGHT is brewing between the Gold Coast Airport containment of affected surface and groundwater with and Tweed Shire Council after proposed changes to the monitoring programs and sampling results provided to council Tweed’s future, say locals airport layout under the Draft Preliminary Gold Coast Airport 2017 Master Plan revealed unacceptable impacts to Tweed residents, according to Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry and Mayor Katie Milne. Council voted against supporting the Airport’s Draft Plan during the Ordinary Meeting on Thursday, February 2. The plan specifies the need to relocate runway 32 up to 300 metres south to complete the airport’s instrument landing system (ILS), which assists aircraft to land during heavy rain, low visibility or at night. The plan also outlines a range of new facilities at the airport including a newly proposed undercover parking lot, airport bridges and extensions to taxiways and aprons for additional aircraft movements. According to the plan, during the next two decades the number of passengers arriving at the Gold Coast Airport will rise from six million people currently per year to around 16 million people, making the airport one of Australia’s busiest. The Weekly has also researched the Draft Master Plan 2017 and found that if you live in Banora Point there are currently 50 flights a day over the 70-decibel (dB) noise threshold. The 70dB threshold is calculated by the level of a noise event likely to interfere with conversation, or listening to radio or television, with the fabric of a house attenuating an average of 15dB. However, by 2047 there are parts of Banora and Tweed South that are projected to have 200 flights per day registering above 70Db and parts of Tweed West will rise from 20 to 100 flights per day above the threshold. In its response to the Gold Coast Airport (GCA), Council said in the interests of residential amenity for Tweed residents, “Council strongly reaffirms its position of opposition to any runway extension and reminds the GCA that the site is constrained by its proximity to high density residential and environmentally significant lands”. “Council does not support the relocation of the runway 32 landing threshold 300m south and notes GCA’s continued annual growth in passenger numbers under the current operational length of the runway,” the response reads. In its response to the plan, “Council requests that information is provided on the Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS) required for the proposed relocation in regard to its further impact on the environment.” “It is requested that all lands effected by PFAS be immediately remediated and management strategies developed for

and state authorities.” Council also reaffirmed its previous submission that environmental offsets should be located within the Cobaki Broadwater. Those for the carried motion included Cr Reece Byrnes, Cr Chris Cherry, Cr Ron Cooper and Cr Katie Milne. Those against the refusal response included Cr Warren Polglase, Cr James Owen and Cr Pryce Allsop. The Weekly sent Gold Coast Airport’s Chief Operating Officer Marion Charlton several questions regarding Tweed Shire Council’s response as well as what Mrs Charlton would like to say to Banora Point residents. Mrs Charlton said the feedback from Council was “disappointing in light of the significant economic benefits generated by the airport for northern NSW”. Mrs Charlton also pointed out that the final decision would rest with the Federal Government. “We are committed to engaging and working proactively with Councils on both sides of the border,” Mr Charlton said. “While the decision to approve the Master Plan sits with the Federal Government’s Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development, we want to work proactively with all levels of government. “Our team is collaborating with Tweed Shire Council management to develop employment generating activities surrounding the airport as identified in the Tweed Shire Economic Development Strategy. “We also work closely with local tourism bodies and understand those in northern New South Wales recognise and appreciate the importance of the airport’s economic injection to the region.” The economic impact of Gold Coast Airport’s operations in 2016 is $545 million with an anticipated growth to $2.3 billion by 2037. In the 12 months to March 2016, more than 227,000 international passengers who flew into Gold Coast Airport visited northern NSW. Locals make up 38-per-cent of Gold Coast Airport’s passengers and of these 26 per cent live in NSW. The airport supported 2037 on-airport jobs in 2016, and it is estimated that 20-30 per cent of those employed live in the Tweed region. By 2037, it is expected the airport will support almost 9000 jobs. Gold Coast Airport has dedicated 25-per-cent of its 371ha site (94ha) to conservation by implementing the Cobaki Environment Precinct Management Plan.

TWEED SHIRE Councillor James Owen has slammed a resolution opposing the Gold Coast Airport’s expansion plans, saying Tweed businesses rely on the airport as an economic driver now and into the future. Cr Owen, who voted against the motion, said in his personal opinion he found it alarming the Council’s view that “due to the impact on residential amenity and the environment council opposes the increase in passenger numbers from 6 million existing to 16 million in this plans lifetime”. “I do not oppose the growth in increased passengers - many of those additional 10 million passengers will bring their dollars, yen, euros, yuan and pounds to Tweed,” he said. “They will spend them in our hotels, cafes, shops and businesses. “The resolution effectively says that we do no support jobs, tourism and our local businesses and the livelihoods of our families. “The Gold Coast Airport is the key to the future prosperity of the region. The Airport was a major factor in my own decision to move to the area and I speak to people and business owners all the time who tell me how important it is to their businesses and livelihoods.” Cr Owen said Tweed’s population will increase by 40 per cent over the next 20 years. “We need the jobs, services and infrastructure to support this growth - otherwise our unemployment, poverty and homeless rates, which are already high, will continue to grow. “When it comes to more jobs for Tweed, the smart money is on Tourism. The tourist dollar goes further than any other industry dollar. There were suggestions that The Tweed Tourism Industry does not need to rely on the Airport to grow and that the additional tourists could come by train! What train?! - The only train likely to come to Tweed anytime soon is the Hogwarts express.” The Weekly also spoke to local business owners including Lee Eyre, who said although it would be best to wait for all water testing and other reports to be finalised, she supports the future growth of the airport. “I really hope Council and the Gold Coast Airport can work this out,” she said. “The airport has always been helpful to local tourism operators who depend on it for their livelihoods.” Other operators told The Weekly that growth at the airport was “inevitable” with the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

NSW Health Minister backs long-term World record breaker! hospital development goal for Tweed Spearfishing catch AFTER ONLY a week on the job as the new NSW Health Minister, Brad Hazzard MP, chose The Tweed Hospital as his first official hospital to visit on Wednesday, February 8. Mr Hazzard was joined by State Member for Tweed, Geoff Provest MP, as well as meeting with The Tweed Hospital staff including surgeons, doctors, the health board and members from the Health Services Union. He was also introduced to the hospital’s latest interns of which there are 16 from Tweed Heads this year making up a state-wide total of 992 medical graduates. However, the burning question on everyone’s lips, especially hospital staff and the media, was will the Tweed receive a desperately needed new hospital. Mr Hazzard spoke to The Weekly and said he acknowledged the need for both short-term and long-term health goals across the Tweed including a “new hospital”. “There’s no question the current hospital is under a lot of pressure especially with Tweed’s population growth into the future,” he said. During his hospital visit Mr Hazzard was pulled into a private meeting with the health board, Health Services Union and medical staff. He said the staff made it clear that the current hospital needed improvements to critical services, greater mental health resourcing and reliving surgical constraints in the short-term and that in the long-term a new hospital was a must for Tweed. “Geoff (Provest MP) has long been campaigning for these crucial services to be improved and for the longer-term goal of building a new hospital site,” he said. “And knowing from Geoff that the Tweed is due to increase the number of residential homes by 20,000 in the near future, means increasing health services across the Tweed is vital for the future.” Although Mr Hazzard acknowledge there would be challenges for him to convince Treasury of the new hospital plans. “It’s always a challenge to get treasury on side,” he said. “But with a short-term goal of improving the current site’s facilities and those needs of the medical staff, we can then focus on the long-term goal of building a new green hills

hospital site, I believe it’s something that is needed.” When pressed on the potential to have a new hospital date confirmed for the Tweed, Mr Hazzard asked for some time to settle into his role. “This is my first week on the job as Health Minister and I would ask for a little time to represent Tweed residents in the best way possible,” he said. The Weekly also asked Mr Hazzard about how he would address anti immunisation groups across the Northern Rivers, following an announcement by the state government to roll out a $9-million school-based meningococcal vaccination program for senior students. According to the NSW government students in year 11 and 12 will be offered free meningococcal vaccination to combat the rise in W strain cases and protect them against the potentially fatal disease. Mr Hazzard said that although he believes everyone is entitled to their own opinion, he stands by the science of immunisation. “I understand that everyone is entitled to their views on this matter, however as State Health Minister I am 100 per cent for immunisation,” he said. “On balance, I think that people are entitled to their opinions, but as a Minister with a science degree I also stand by immunisation.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe more needs to be done to improve The Tweed Hospital, or should the focus be on developing a new hospital?

TWEED COAST local Jenni Budworth speared a monster Jew fish recently that exceeds the previous world record caught by an Australian spearfishing woman. The big fish weighed in at 26.5kg and was officially recorded by the International Underwater Spearfishing Association. Speaking with The Weekly, Jenni wouldn’t reveal the location of the giant catch but said it was caught in September 2016 and had taken this long to get the association’s official ruling. “Lets just say it was on the Tweed Coast,” she said. The fish is almost half the total weight of Mrs Budworth. YOU CATCH: Have you caught any sea monsters lately? We’d love to hear from you. Send your pics and fishing tips to editor@theweekly.net.au

Appointments take only 20 minutes. No referral necessary. To book your FREE screening mammogram call 13 20 50.

A TYALGUM resident has shared her harrowing fight against breast cancer and she’s heaped praise on the Medicare system and local care workers. Mrs Elvin (first name withheld) wrote a letter to The Weekly on Monday with the headline “mammograms – please and thank you”. “I was recently diagnosed with a ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) through pre and at this stage non-invasive cancer that was so small it did not even present as a lump,” she wrote. “It was wholly picked up through screening. Then the system kicked in and the wonderful people, who work within it, took over and guided my journey to recovery. “I have nothing but praise for our Medicare system and for all the professionals and care workers at Tweed Heads and Lismore Breast Screening Units, you certainly are dedicated and caring individuals.” Mrs Elvin also heaped praise on Dr Su-Lin Leong who performed the surgery. “To the wonderful surgeon Dr Su-Lin Leong who removed my small mass and left me in the hands of the angels at Tweed Heads Hospital Women’s Care Unit,” she

wrote. “Like so many workers in this world, they unstintingly give beyond their job descriptions to alleviate all types of suffering by also to partake in joyous results.” Mrs Elvin spoke in defense of Medicare and urged the public to fight if Governments attempt to tamper with it. “Our Medicare system works, so don’t let governments tamper with this basic right and need for the health and well-being of our population,” she said. “There is still further treatment ahead for me but I know it will be delivered in the same professional and caring manner. “So, all ladies out there make full use of this screening, for a few minutes’ discomfort and the life you save maybe your own. “Thank you to all involved and keep up the excellent work. Yay for free mammograms.” Meanwhile, Murwillumbah residents can visit the mobile breast screening unit (see below) at knox Park until February 23.

TWEED CITIZEN of the Year and Paralympian Bill Chaffey says he hopes to use his new role to encourage businesses and individuals to improve accessibility for people living with a permanent injury or disability. Mr Chaffey recently spoke to The Weekly about his training for the 2017 World Championships and longer view towards the 2018 Commonwealth Games, as well as his love for the Tweed and desire to keep the region at the forefront of accessability. “This award means quite a lot to me,” he said. “As explained by Mayor Katie Milne when she announced the award, my success in triathlon is just my own personal pursuit of my goals in a sport I love. “As the patron of the Tweed Shire Access and Inclusion Awards I’m over the moon to see the success I’ve had in sport, raise the profile of the awards and hopefully encourage more businesses and individuals in the Tweed to make an effort to improve life for people living with a permanent injury or disability. “To be recognised by my local community on Australia Day and on the same day professor Alan Mackay-Sim, a crusader for stem cell research and spinal cord repair, is an overwhelming honour.” Mr Chaffey revealed some of his biggest hurdles in achieving his goals including time away from family. “I think the hardest things for me are, 1. The time I need to be away from my family to meet the required training needs my sport demands and 2. Balancing the constant pain my injuries cause with, once again, the demands and hours of training required to

be at the top,” he said. “However, as I said earlier, if it’s hard work then the result is that much more rewarding.” The Weekly asked Mr Chaffey how could Tweed’s accessibility improve across the Shire? “I believe the Tweed is already bounds ahead of other areas in Australia when it comes to access and inclusion,” he said. “I’ve travelled all over the world and seen the best and worst of accessibility for people in wheelchairs. “In saying that, my local area here in Tweed is definitely toward the top. “I’d encourage businesses and individuals to continue working well with members of the community who have special needs and formulate a business plan which considers the individual needs of these customers. “It can only be a win-win situation for both the business and the community.” Mr Chaffey also gave others advice for those wanting to realise their sporting dreams. “The best advice I can give in that area is to recognise that if you really do want to achieve your goals, you need to be prepared for the undeniable fact it requires a lot of hard work and commitment,” he said. “Unfortunately, I see many people opting for the easy way out which often fails. “When you achieve a goal through hard work it makes it so much more gratifying.” Mr Chaffey is back in training for the 2017 world championships which will be held in Rotterdam, Netherlands in September.

Petition for Kingscliff skate park

71664

TOENAILS ARE often the last thing we think to care about as we grow older. Attention naturally falls to ‘bigger issues’ such as joints, illnesses and mental health. However unloved toenails can affect our mobility, the ability to exercise, and can cause greater issues that reduce overall independence. According to research, 1 in 3 older people have trouble reaching their own toes making it nearly impossible for them to care for their feet as they age. Melissa and Karen, Owners of ‘The Toenail People - Australia’, say reasons for why people are unable to cut their toenails vary but they are acutely aware of how quickly improper toenail care can affect someone’s wellbeing. “It’s very easy to overlook those things hidden away in slippers” says Melissa, “our teams see firsthand how if an older person finds it too painful to walk they will simply walk less. This is a snowballing issue that can be prevented with proper care. We recommend nail cutting every six weeks to help to keep you mobile and independent longer”.

Tweed Citizen of the Year back in training

TWEED RESIDENTS are throwing their support behind a petition to encourage Tweed Shire Council to build a skate park and family space at Kingscliff. The petition, which is online via change.org, has so far received 475 signatures (at time of print) with a target of 500. “Kingscliff is one of the many beautiful towns in the Tweed Shire, there is only one small problem - there is no space dedicated for the youth and young families of the town to enjoy,” the petition (change.org/p/help-kingscliff-get-a-skatepark) reads. “This is why we are seeking your signature for our petition to show our community leaders how much of a necessity skate park and family space is for the town. “Skate parks build and sustain healthy communities. “As a gathering place for dedicated, athletic youth, the skate park provides the forum for visitors young and old, beginning and skilled, to meet and share experiences. “For many skateboarding youth, the skate park becomes a home-away-from-home.” One of those residents to sign the petition said the skate park could help keep local kids occupied and away from bridge jumping and other activities. “I currently take my son and daughter to Tugun and end up getting refreshments in Coolangatta afterwards, we would prefer to be spending that time and money in our hometown,” the signature writer said. “Good for the kids, visitors, local business, property investors, holiday makers, families, good for everyone.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you think Kingscliff needs more activities for kids, such as a skate park?

Cudgen Surf Life Saving Club victorious Fishing Club Grants are now available

CUDGEN HEADLAND Surf Life Saving Club has obliterated the competition at the 2017 Stramit NSW Country Surf Life Saving Championships at South West Rocks last weekend. After losing to Byron Bay SLSC last year by just seven points, Cudgen SLSC competitors have had the title in their sights for the last 12 months and ended up with more than double the points of nearest rival Sawtell SLSC. In taking the Champions Shield, Cudgen has also ended the six–year winning streak of the fiercely competitive Byron Bay club, which ended up in third place overall. While sheer numbers helped the Cudgen crew to victory, some outstanding performances from key competitors saw the Cudgen stakes rise rapidly over the weekend. But it was in the teams events where the club demonstrated almost total domination over its rivals. Cudgen secured a trifecta in the beach relays winning the Under 17, Under 19 and Open event in both male and female divisions. Wins in the premier team event, the Taplin Relay were also recorded in Open Male and Female, and U17 and U19 Male. The U15 Male and Female Cameron Relays also fell to Cudgen. Stellar performances were seen by Anthea Warne who won the U17 Board, Surf and Ironwoman, then backed-up to win the Open Surf Race as well. Luke Chaffer claimed the U19 Board, Ski and Ironman along with the Open Ski and Ironman. And it was a Cudgen-only presentation for the Open Board Race with Scott McCartney, Rory Matthews

and Luke Chaffer all on the podium. In her first year of racing in the opens, Hayley Smith dominated in the U15s winning Beach Flags, Board, Ironwoman and Rescue Tube Races. Cudgen Headland’s Director of Surf Sports Matthew Bell says the club has been right behind the team in preparing for this event. “The whole club has put in a lot of work since the last Championships and have been determined to get the victory and to do it so convincingly this time round, it’s a credit to the team and the rest of the club,” Mr Bell said. “We had around 70 nippers here this weekend and our more experienced athletes like Scott McCartney and Nadi Canning are big mentors for the kids and push the whole team to give their best.”

1. Cudgen Headland SLSC 1105 2. Sawtell SLSC Inc 541 3. Byron Bay SLSC 473 4. Port Macquarie SLSC 352 5. Lennox Head - Alstonville SLSC 301 6. Warilla Barrack Point SLSC 259 7. Coffs Harbour SLSC 202 8. Tacking Point SLSC 183 9. Cabarita Beach SLSC 175 10. Wauchope Bonny Hills SLSC 174

NATIONALS MEMBER for Lismore, Thomas George MP is encouraging fishing and community groups to apply for NSW Recreational Fishing Trust grants to improve recreational fishing. This year $15 million has been allocated from the sale of recreational fishing licenses to both freshwater and saltwater projects in 2016-17. Mr George said grants are available for both large projects involving more than $10,000 of funding, and smaller projects involving less than $10,000. “This is a great opportunity for individuals and community groups to apply for these grants which improve recreational fishing in our region,” Mr George said. “Applications are open to anyone, including fishing clubs and organisations, universities, councils, community groups, individuals and joint applications are also encouraged. “Some of the projects funded already include fish stocking, fishing workshops, Fishcare Volunteer programs, and habitat restoration.” “This program is another way the NSW Government continues to reinvest this resource back into the recreational fishing sector to help ensure a bright future for NSW fishing.” Recreational fishing adds about $3.4 billion to the State’s economy each year, and accounts for more than 14,000 fulltime jobs. Gone Fishing NSW fishing club grants of up to $2,000 are also available for groups applying to run community fishing events for Gone Fishing NSW Day on October 15, 2017. Applications for small and large projects close on March 13 this year. Applications for Gone Fishing NSW fishing club grants close on 30 April 2017. More information is available at DPI’s website or phone Mr George’s office.

Mayor’s bid to halt future water extraction denied A CONTROVERSIAL NOTICE of motion from Mayor Katie Milne to potentially prohibit future commercial water extraction from all rural zoned land across the Tweed Shire was denied during the Council’s first general meeting for 2017 on Thursday, February 2, due to an amendment motion. The notice of motion followed a large community debate around water security and an increase to truck movement across the Shire, with calls from many locals to regulate or in some views halt water extraction altogether. According to Council’s documentation, the proposal was to rescind Clause 7.15 of the Tweed LEP 2014, which came into effect on July 8, 2016, to remove the permissibility of water bottling facilities in the RU2 Rural Landscape zone. “The LEP amendment originated and was funded by the Mountain Water Springwater Company (MWS); an established Tweed family business,” the report reads. “The implications of the proposed prohibition on this landuse are likely to be far broader than those arising solely on MWS, as it will affect both current lawful businesses as well as landowners holding a current water access licence and who intend seeking development consent for a new business. “On the spectrum of options for regulating land use, ‘prohibition’ marks the uttermost extent of undesirability for any given use; exempt development being at the opposite end with various regulatory pathways between the two. “Ascertaining what level of regulation is appropriate in each situation therefore requires a full consideration of the facts and circumstances. “As the circumstances surrounding the making of the permissibility in 2016 and proposed repeal of it 2017 are novel, and the impacts on those who had a legitimate expectation to act or have acted on the permissibility rule change remain to be fully tested, the proposed prohibition may expose Council, as with those landowners or businesses, to unnecessary and costly litigation. “Council is evidently aware that landowners and businesses have relied on the 2016 regulatory rule change. “It may be prudent therefore to allow adequate time for those persons or businesses to pursue their approvals as envisaged by the 2016 rule change and to close the loop on those who have not. “This could be achieved through a different regulatory policy response, with the Department of Planning and Environment’s support. “Clarity is also required if the intent of the Notice of

Motion is just for water bottling or for all commercial water extraction activity including agriculture.” Cr Milne said she heeded the warnings from residents and believed new water extraction operations should be denied. “The road damage is enough for me but in regards there’s a lot of things said then later changed,” she said “I do think that it is something we don’t have to engage in. There are a lot of current operations already going – I’m not trying to stop them. “It’s the proliferation of the new applications. This shire is significant and it’s something we’re proud of. “It was like coal seam gas mining and we’re fine now. And the community said it wasn’t what they wanted. “This is something that’s optional to the Tweed Shire. The State Government had already banned this practice and this is a new council and the older council is no longer here. We need to respect this issue and listen to the community.” One community access speaker, who said he was in current water extraction operations, spoke against the motion and in favour of expanding water extraction across the shire. Meanwhile, several community members have started a Facebook page with the title “No Water Mining” and has almost 670 followers. One post reads with the picture below: “Melting bitumen caused my a ute in this incredibly hot weather. The bitumen is become molten and the stones dislodge. What will it be like with trucks in excess of 40 tonne? It is easy for a councillor to say we can build roads. Who will upkeep them? At what cost to ratepayers? We have about 2 months of this kind of heat. Will the trucks stop in this time?”

Read the amendment DURING THE meeting, Cr Reece Byrnes said he wanted to raise an amendment to maintain water extraction but to be presented the science by the NSW Office of Water to “fully understand underground water levels and refresh rates”. Cr Byrnes said he understood during this time of President Trump it was easy to think the public was being misled. “I know people in the Office of Water and they say the water extraction is sustainable.” Cr James Owen said he agreed with Cr Byrnes and said he supported the amendment. “I think we need more information before we make any rash decisions.” Cr Ron Cooper said this issue is more than just about the right science. “This is more about tourism and the road usage. We’re talking about large, very large tankers that will come down Urliup and Main Road before they make the turn off,” he said. “There are ratepayers who have been told that we’re a council that’s fit for the future. I don’t think we can get an accurate damage report if these works are approved. It’s the ratepayers that will be wearing that. The ratepayer could prop up this industry.” Cr Cooper said the amenity is at risk of creating a much more busy road and more dangerous roads. Cr Warren Polglase said it was simple to upgrade the roads to carry the trucks. “You could charge the operator per tonne on the road, an opportunity for the Tweed Shire to provide growth and employment.” Cr Chris Cherry on the other hand did not support the amendment. “I do not support this amendment to support this plan. The philosophy that one person takes the resource and sells it off,” she said. “The original was proposing to remove blanket approval of water extraction. This motion is clear to not affect licensed bores and current operations.” Cr Pryce Allsop agreed that more scientific information is required. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with getting accurate science about water extraction,” he said. “Roads are what get us our products and I think we need to support this.” The ammendment was Carried four votes from Cr Byrnes, Cr Owen, Cr Polglase and Cr Allsop, those against the amendment were votes from Cr Milne, Cr Cherry and Cr Cooper.

“Our greatest wealth is Health”

RUTH FELTHAM, Director of Youphoria Coaching is a passionate advocate for Mental Health consumers, having spent the past 3 years working at the acute level in Mental Health for Ramsay Health’s Northside Macarthur Clinic in Campbelltown, South Western Sydney and previous to that as a Youth worker in Out of Home Care, supporting youth that had been subjected to physical and sexual abuse. In addition to Ruth’s professional experience, is her own personal experience, having been subjected to both sexual abuse and physical abuse along with being hit by a truck in 2010. The trauma resulted in 3 years of PTSD, compounded significantly by her childhood abuse, and with lingering back issues as a result of driver’s side impact. ‘Not for one moment did I think I would come out of that alive, as I held the steering wheel with the truck’s grill visible right next to me’ There’s nothing like being on the front of a truck to really switch the focus on to engaging in activities and strategies that provide emotional fulfilment rather than just getting caught up in the work and sleep routine many of us find ourselves in, supressing our emotions and traumatic experiences. Despite her lingering back issues, Ruth has used the emotional response to the trauma as a catalyst for change, now helping others achieve emotional fulfilment through physical and emotional self-care programs; “I’ve turned my pain into purpose and my purpose is my passion”. Ruth’s work involves educating and coaching those individuals with Mental Health impairments on the fundamental importance of developing daily physical and emotional self-care strategies. Following the work of Candace Pert a Neuroscientist who discovered the ‘opiate receptor’ on the surface of the cells in the body and the brain, and was a pioneer in establishing the crucial link between mind and body, Ruth developed her own ‘bodymind’

program called ‘Psych Circuits’ which are a combination of Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) to Mantra’s , circuit training and self talk meditation. We need to start educating individuals on the Neurochemical response and the role it plays in achieving great mental health. My goal is to prescribe simple lifestyle choices and changes in behaviour that can improve your brain chemistry, make you feel better and motivate you to maximize your human potential. Ruth will be operating out of ‘The Gym’ in Murwillumbah, clients do not need to be a member of the gym, however if the financial capacity is there, she definitely advises on individuals getting active to facilitate the release of vital neurochemicals, such as dopamine and endorphins required in order to Feel great again! Clients can book online through the website; www.youphoriacoaching.com. au OR they can contact Ruth on 0424 171 438. Bookings will be taken from the 20th February.

1. The most popular theory about Valentine’s Day origin is that Emperor Claudius II didn’t want Roman men to marry during wartime. Bishop Valentine went against his wishes and performed secret weddings. For this, Valentine was jailed and executed. While in jail he wrote a note to the jailor’s daugter signing it “from your Valentine”. 2. In Victorian times it was considered bad luck to sign a Valentine’s Day card. 3. Many believe the X symbol became synonymous with the kiss in medieval times. People who couldn’t write their names signed in front of a witness with an X. The X was then kissed to show their sincerity. 4. In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who would be their Valentine.

Whiz mechanic returns to Bray Park BRAY PARK Fuel and Mechanical has announced the return of whiz mechanic Tim Leigh, 31, who after a couple of years in Brisbane has returned as the new workshop operator. Owner Mark Fendley said he dragged Tim back after two years away honing his skills on cars, trucks and buses, all while experiencing the big smoke. “It was a shame when we lost Tim at the time, but to get him back has been great,” Mark said. “It was when the opportunity came up for a mechanic at the shop that Tim jumped at the chance.” Mark said Tim, who was previously with Bray Park for six years, was among the fastest learning mechanical apprentices in the region after he completed his trade in 18 months. “He’s become a great mechanic offering a thorough approach to every job,” Mark said. But it hasn’t been smooth sailing for Tim, who was treated badly by his employers in Brisbane and experienced the heartache of losing two family members within a close timeframe. “Brisbane was a great experience, but my employers were a bit dodgy and didn’t pay me properly,” he said. “It was when I lost a family member recently that I tried to

Don’t make the mistake of wearing a turtleneck on a date if you want to look sexy. This kind of coverage signals stay away! Showing some skin is youthful and alluring. But notice, I said some. Trying to look sexy by dressing in skimpy clothes that a twenty-something would wear clubbing will make you look hard, tacky and worn out. On the other hand, you don’t want to look dowdy. Soft, stretchy fabrics will flow over your figure and flatter your shape. Wrap style dresses made from soft silk or jersey always look sexy. The gentle wrap detail hugs your waist, lifts your bust and highlights your curves. This red dress, shown above, is a great example. Resist the urge to wear tight clothes if you want to look sexy. Your clothes should be fitted, but they shouldn’t look or feel tight. Stop obsessing about size tags. If you’re a size 10, forget about trying to squeeze into a size 6, or even an 8. Tight clothes make you look bigger. You need to wear things that skim your silhouette and have some stretch. Looking like a stuffed sausage is not sexy at any age.

Good health starts here.. Are you looking to retain or regain your health? Whether you are super healthy and need to stay that way, or feeling a little worse for wear (or anywhere in between) immunity fuel certified organic probiotic superfood may be just what you are looking for... Immunity Fuel is a all-in-one natural product. The good bacteria help to clean out the colon and digestive tract promoting a healthy gut and strong immune system, and the pre-digested wholefoods are instantly absorbed to replace vital nutrients at a cellular level. Suitable for all ages, from infants to the elderly, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is no longer the need to spend thousands of dollars on different probiotics, prebiotics, vitamins, and green powders, or for a different product for each member of the family Immunity Fuel has it all. Containing probiotics, prebiotics, essential amino acids, digestive enzymes, and nutritious whole foods giving your body the tools it needs to heal itself in just 1tsp/day for adults and 1/2 tsp/day for kids “Our whole family on and off over the last 2 years have been battling with a couple of parasites. The children in particular had terrible symptoms of diarrhoea, loss of appetite, bloating, terrible stomach cramps and a constant unwell feeling. They had rounds of flagyl prescribed by doctors but the parasites remained. After much research I decided the only way to treat it was to hit them hard with alternative treatments and this is when I came across Immunity Fuel. I emailed Cassie and told her about our symptoms and she told me about her personal experience with parasites after travelling. We gave Immunity Fuel a go along with kefir and a limited amount of sugar in our diets and so far the whole family no longer has symptoms. I would recommend this product to anyone.” M.Jackson, Pottsville, NSW Most people now know that good health starts in the gut, The usefulness of probiotics has been known for thousands of years. In fact it was recorded as far back as 6,000 years ago

in Sumerian tablets regarding cheese-making. Today more and more research is being done to prove we need to boost our good bacterias for a healthy digestive system, detoxing of toxins, a healthy immune system and a healthy brain. Not every probiotic is worth spending your money on though. Important factors to consider when choosing a probiotic; LIVE BACTERIA-Look for a product that has LIVE bacteria, It is only the active (live) forms which have the ability to tolerate the acidity of the stomach and the alkalinity of the intestine that will produce health benefits. MULTI STRAIN-Make sure the product contains multiple compatible strains of bacteria designed to work together, since different strains have different functions and no one strain can provide all the benefits. On average most robust probiotics have seven strains, Immunity Fuel has 13 + 2 beneficial yeast strains. WHERE HAS THE BACTERIA COME FROM - Be aware a lot of commercial probiotics source their bacteria from animal fecal matter or is genetically modified, the bacteria in Immunity Fuel is cultured on Organic vegetables. NATURAL BACTERIA - Is the product you are choosing natural? does your bacterias have numbers beside them on the label? If so this is a GMO bacteria DELIVERY - ensure your probiotic is affective and not destroyed by stomach acid, some capsules include fillers the stomach needs to breakdown and loses the live bacteria in the process. Look for a multi strain probiotic combined with a prebiotic which will give you a better absorption rate and resistance to stomach acid. SAFETY/CERTIFIED- check if your product has any food or safety certification. Immunity Fuel is Certified Organic, made in Australia and available in the original formula, or the new gluten free formula, this product is a powerful combination of probiotics, (over 50 billion live good bacterias per serving), prebiotics, and raw wholefoods rich in essential amino acids, digestive enzymes

and whole food vitamins and minerals. Your all in one solution for gut and immune health and its completely natural! “After a misspent youth, twenties and some of my thirties, I was struggling with the effects of a poor diet and exercise regimen. Not only was I in a poor state of physical health, my mental health was beginning to suffer. This was not helped by a stressful job that didn’t leave much time for proper exercise. After meeting Cassie Brown, listening to her story and experiences, and hearing the benefits of including Immunity Fuel in my daily routine, I decided to give it a try. After a bit of discomfort over the first few days, the changes in the first 3 weeks were very apparent. My mood had lightened, I was beginning to feel less bloated and lethargic, my improved mood led to making healthy dietary and exercise choices (yes I found time for exercise) and I began to notice my stress level diminishing. There were also positive changes in bodily function (I’ll let you work out what that means). Immunity Fuel, with heaps of helpful advice from Cassie, helped me back on my way to good physical and mental health. My habits still wax and wane from time to time, but one thing is very clear to me…… When Immunity Fuel is a regular part of my daily routine I function at a far higher level physically and mentally than when I let my good habits slip…. Immunity Fuel will help you find your way to good health, and keep you there.” Ewan, Toowoomba, Queensland. You will find Immunity Fuel at these local health shops Health Food Central - Kingscliff Shopping Village, Tweed Mall & Stocklands Burleigh Heads and at Baz and Shaz 44 Beech Drive, Byron Hills.

Another year another round of roadworks Elderly man charged after including Tumbulgum Rd and Racecourse Rd death of Dann Jenkins A NEW YEAR brings a new round of roadworks with the announcement by Tweed Shire Council that Tumbulgum Road, between Sunnyside Lane and Old Ferry Road, will close for six months from Monday, February 13, for essential roadworks. The $1.7 million works will stabilise the cliff face, widen the road and footpath and upgrade storm water drainage. The six-month project to improve safety for both pedestrians and motorists will start with contractors removing vegetation to allow the cliff face on the northern side of the road to be cut away to be almost vertical (in line with the current indent halfway along near the bench seat), before being stabilised and covered with a decorative natural-looking shotcrete finish. Council said planter boxes will be built-in at both the bottom and top of the cliff to allow vines to be grown on fixed trainer wires both up and down the face. A fence will be built at the top of the cliff to block access to the drop. On completion of the work at the cliff face in May 2017, Council will upgrade the drainage and stabilise the river side of the road. The roadway and shared user path will be reconstructed with the path moved further north, shifting it at least a metre away from the river. The new road will be widened to seven metres and the shared user path to 2.5 metres wide. This extra width will significantly reduce the current pinch point in the road, where heavy vehicles often mount the pedestrian kerb to

negotiate the bend. The riverbank will then be stabilised with either a guardrail or concrete barrier placed on top. The pre-existing riverside footpath will not be reinstated. Early last year, the section was placed under both a 14-tonne weight restriction and 40km/h speed limit as the road on the river side was at risk of failing under heavy loads. On the cliff-face side, there has been an ongoing risk of rocks above dislodging and falling, especially during wet weather. Vehicles will be diverted around the work site via Old Ferry Road and Queen Street. Heavy vehicles travelling to and from Murwillumbah CBD will be encouraged to use Cane Road and Queensland Road, or Tweed Valley Way and Wollumbin Street.

Racecourse Road closure

Meanwhile Tweed Shire Council has recently closed a small section of Racecourse Road, near the intersection of Tumbulgum Road, Murwillumbah, on Monday, February 6, to repair a creek-bank slippage that threatens to undermine the road. Work to stabilise the bank of nearby Mayal Creek and strengthen the section of built-up road that is in danger of failing will take about one month and cost $60,000. The road will be closed to all traffic, which will be diverted around the section via Cane Road. YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you know a road that’s in desperate need of repairs? Send us your roadworks tip or letters to editor@theweekly.net.au

AN 87-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with dangerous driving following a motorbike crash that tragically took the life of Dann Jenkins (pictured below) on Monday, October 24, 2016 at Numinbah. It was 10.15am when Dann’s motorbike was struck by a Toyota Hilux utility at the intersection of Numinbah Road and Couchy Creek Road, Numinbah, approximately 6km from the NSW-Queensland border. Sadly Dann, aged 22 died at the scene. The driver of the Hilux, an 87-year-old man, was not injured and was taken to Murwillumbah Hospital for mandatory testing. Police officers from the Crash Investigation Unit attended the scene and following investigations on Wednesday, February 1, the driver of the Hilux was charged with dangerous driving causing death, negligent driving causing death and not giving way to a vehicle. The announcement prompted a wide range of responses from the public on social media. “Poor old guy was probably horrified by what happened but he clearly shouldn’t be driving,” one resident said. “He should of had his licence takin off him at the seen,” said another comment. “Too young to be lost. So tragic,” said another. He is due to face Murwillumbah Local Court on Tuesday, March 28.

THE REAL Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) is calling on the government to improve housing affordability for firsthome buyers amidst rising house prices and increased investor activity. The Pre Budget Submission to the Government by the REIA notes that the property market has been a significant contributor to growth in the Australian economy in the past few years and has been a main driver of economic growth as the economy transitions away from the mining boom. The submission also highlights the decline in first-home buyers over the past few years. “Whilst investor activity in housing has in large part been responsible for the supply response from the building sector contributing to economic growth, this has been at the cost of first home buyers and their ability to enter the housing market," REIA President Mr Malcolm Gunning said. "The number of first home buyer commitments as a proportion of total owneroccupied housing finance commitments in November 2016 was 13.8 per cent and compares to long run average of 18.5 per cent.” “Since April 2012, when official interest rates were 4.25 per cent compared to the current 1.5 per cent, the number of home loans issued to home buyers increased by 25 per cent while the participation of first home buyers declined by 17 percent. This decline is despite ten cuts in the official interest rate over that period.” In New South Wales a first-home buyers grant is only available for new builds, the REIA is calling for all states and territories to offer equal opportunities for first-home buyers. “This is why we are asking the Federal

Government take a leadership role in urging all states and territories to take the same approach to the provision of assistance to first home buyers regardless of whether the dwelling is new or established as well as allowing first home buyers access to their superannuation for the purchase of a home,” said Mr Gunning “Strong population growth in Australia as well as changes in the demographic composition necessitates that the supply of affordable housing is addressed as a priority policy issue. ABS population projections show net overseas migration is expected to make a stronger contribution to population growth in future years than it has in the past.” Property tax is another area in which the REIA is calling for changes. “We are also urging the Federal government to show leadership in addressing housing affordability by taking a co-ordinated and holistic approach of all levels of government in objectively addressing all property taxes,” said Mr Gunning. “Stamp duties, for example, are a major hurdle for first home buyers and older home owners. For first home buyers stamp duty often makes the difference between the ability to buy and not to. For older home owners considering downsizing to accommodation more suited to their needs in retirement stamp duty is frequently given as the reason preventing such a move”. “Stamp duties are also preventing a more efficient use of the housing stock and are exacerbating the supply problem”. “We need to move away from the myopic preoccupation with negative gearing as if it’s the panacea for housing affordability in our two largest capital cities. This is simply not the case. It is high time that all property taxes are examined,” said Mr Gunning.

Local vows to make “second life count” after cardiac arrest AN INCREDIBLE story of a husband’s determination to save his wife after she collapsed from a cardiac arrest in December last year has surfaced in Murwillumbah this week. The couple were presented with a Cardiac Arrest Survivor Award by the NSW Ambulance Murwillumbah Station on Tuesday, February 7, in recognition of their quick response in helping to save Sheila Johnson’s life. Sheila, 64, and her husband of 31 years Steve Johnson, were at their Kynnumboon home on December 19 watching TV when Sheila suddenly collapsed. “It was lights out, she had no response,” Steve said. “Her tongue was stuck in the back of her throat so the first thing I did was clear her airways. “She took a short breath and then went silent again while I was trying to get to the telephone to dial triple zero (000).” Steve spoke to a paramedic on the phone who instructed him to place Sheila on the ground and start CPR. “Getting an unconscious person on the floor is hard work,

but once there I started with chest compressions and after a while I could hear a rib crack and moments later another crack,” Steve said. “I was getting a bit concerned, but the paramedic on the phone said it rather suggested I was doing what I was supposed to do.” The paramedics arrived nine minutes later and took over chest compressions and shocked Sheila four times with a defibrillator and gave her adrenaline before she was transported to Murwillumbah District Hospital for further treatment. She’s expected to make a strong recovery. “I’m not quite back to where I was physically before the arrest and it can be a bit frustrating having to take it easy and conserve energy,” Sheila said. She said the arrest experience had a deep impact on both her life and her husband’s life. “I am very thankful for all the care and support we have received throughout this ordeal,” she said. “In terms of giving back, I will make sure my second life

counts. “My father died of a massive heart attack in Pittwater, Sydney, 34 years ago, he had just gotten off the ferry and he died in my arms.” Sheila and Steve were presented their awards by Murwillumbah Station Officer Grant Prendergast, Member for Lismore Thomas George MP as well as Station Paramedics Peter Browning and Rohan Miller, who assisted Steve in saving Sheila’s life. Sheila read a touching and candid poem to paramedics at the Murwillumbah Station, where she praised the efforts of our “local life savers”. Mr George MP also presented three NSW Ambulance paramedics with service medals in recognition and appreciation of their long and dedicated service. Paramedic Peter Browning was awarded the National Medal 2nd Clasp, Paramedic Robert Byrne received the Medal for Long Service Good Conduct 2nd Clasp and Paramedic Peter Larsen the Nation Medal 2nd Clasp (see below).

Heart Collectors ready for third album release THE HEART Collectors third album ‘Back To The Garden’ recorded in Blue Rock Studio, Texas, is being released this March, with a intimate garden show as a celebration of this new creation. The Album is the band’s first to contain both originals and a selection of meaningful cover. “There is a vibrant and timeless allure to their music that is resistant to the fashion of the age and all the more enduring because of it,” band member John T Davis said. This highly engaging album is carried by the artistry of each instrument; the beautiful and emotive acoustic guitar by Reuben Loire, the virtuoso of the cello and strings by Mobius Barnaby, the free wheeling banjo and lustrous mandolin from Tristan DaFoe combined with dynamic yet tasteful percussion by Kymrie who’s “voice is the stuff angel’s wings are made of.” ‘Back To The Garden’ is an album that reminds us of a time of innocence, sweetness and integrity. The Heart Collectors have taken some of our favourite songs and made them new again, breathing oxygen into each beat and bringing force though unity of their harmonies. “It feels as though we’ve grounded ourselves as a band, how we work, how we write and who we want to grow to be in this music world. And with that foundation it feels right to give back to those who have deeply inspired us, and to to remember and honour the men and women who have shaped our lives,” said lead singer Kymrie. With the likes of Peter Paul and Mary, Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor and Joni

Mitchell being honourably represented, the Heart Collectors have struck gold and continue to create. Being invited to one of the largest Music Festivals and Conferences in the world, South by South West, this folkish band is set to release Back To The Garden on the 4th of March. In an intimate setting with a limited ticket event The Heart Collectors will perform some of their new tracks live, in the midst of rolling hills and flowering gardens. Sunshine in the afternoon, with picnic rugs, champagne and an overwhelming essence of life that is thrilling. The Garden Show is to be held in their home village of Tyalgum, Saturday the 4th, with tickets available on their website www.www. theheartcollectors.com

The People You Meet... with Fran Rabbitts TUMBULGUM RESIDENT and our Tweed Australia Day Ambassador Iain Finlay and his wife Trish demonstrate through their actions the true spirit of being Australian. They are well known for their fundraising which has brought all-weather access and education to the poor village of Nalin in Laos. The village is located at the end of paddy fields and is annually isolated in the longwet season which affects education, medical services and life in general. However, thanks to the Finlay’s that’s all in the past. The village goal is now self-sufficient with pigs, cows and buffalo recently added to their economy, culture and traditions. On a daily basis these animals provide milk, meat and fertiliser to help the entire village to stand on their own two feet. The buffalos are also used for ploughing and cultivating the land. Iain and Trish started a charitable fund and a trial program is up and running. The program each year involves two farming families who are loaned one buffalo each. The buffalos were purchased by the fund and at the end of the year after the female buffalo has calved, the calf is retained by the family and the two buffalos are re-inseminated and loaned to two other farming families. This process of shared farming will be repeated for as long as the female can calve. Consequently, by the end of 2019 six families will own buffalos which were previously unaffordable and almost unimaginable for many there. Both Iain and Trish are journalists and former ABC Foreign Correspondents as well as well-known for their documentaries, Catalyst and Beyond 2000. They had retired to the Tweed, but who needs retirement when you can volunteer which is exactly what they did when they joined the Australian Volunteers International (AVI) in 2011. Their interest began when, on a holiday in Laos they met a young student Chanty Sisomuth working in the city to fund his education and help his family break the poverty cycle. Impressed with him they offered to fund his education. A thankyou invitation visit to his village followed. It was an extremely poor

Pigs and Buffalos offer new hope to Laotian village and disadvantaged village and was located in the paddy fields. There were no roads, schools, or medical services and it became completely isolated in the wet season. They decided they could help and when they returned home they started to fundraise in various ways including film nights and the Tweed community responded. With knowledge of the village community’s needs and now with funds they returned to Laos, purchased materials and the community building project began. The villagers have built schools and toilet facilities and then encouraged by their skills they built 10 kilometres of all-weather linking roads. Higher education was not available in Nalin and attending high school involved a 16-kilometre walk often in wet tropical condition. As a result many students dropped out of school, but it was the building of a dormitory to house 60 children and seven teachers that was seen as the solution. So, Murwillumbah architect Justin Twohill has again helped by designing the proposed dormitory while the Finlay’s continued to fundraise. Now that you’re up to date, there’s currently various funding options that are being considered. One is for the village to raise pigs, goats and buffalo and sell or lease them to other villages. Another is to market the women’s traditional exquisite embroidery. These suggestions resulted from the Finlay’s visit to Canberra when they liaised with Peter Home of ACIAR (Australian Centre for Agricultural Research) who after 10-years’ experience in Laos offered some of his own ideas. Among the many supporters of this project are Australian household names, Dick and Pip Smith, Erica Packer UNICEF Ambassador, and from Tweed Dr Ed Egan who after visiting Nalin is organising a roster of Tweed Valley doctors to visit the village. Penny Hunstead and astronomer husband Dr Dick Hunstead are funding a three-year tertiary education scholarship as they see the way forward is through education. This project is a sterling example of how we as Tweed residents and visitors can put our hand up to help those in need to help themselves. This is not about a hand out but rather a hand up and is a credit to the community and of course Iain and Trish for demonstrating the power of helping others.

MURWILLUMBAH BUSH poet Paddy O’Brien was named winner of the Frank Daniel Bush Verse Award at the 31st ‘Golden Damper Awards’ held during this year’s Tamworth Country Music Festival. The award forms part of Paddy’s wide and wonderous career in which he has written poetry and music for decades including pioneering the Irish Trio in 2004, which saw some brief fame on the airwaves in Brisbane. Paddy won the trophy for his poem Mickey Felute of which the full version is printed in The Weekly.

Mickey Felute by Paddy O’Brien

“He was that lazy he married a pregnant Women” I once had a mate, called Mickey Felute Drunk and disorderly with a wobbly boot He’d guzzle down beer and whiskey as well Not one to wash, dogs would follow his smell He never did work, and he slept all day He was too flaming lazy to shoo flies away His mother was hairy and smelt like a boot And his father they say was a silly galoot He was a big useless lad all of eight foot And he couldn’t remember where his trousers he put His face was all lumpy like crocodile skin And where it poked out it should have poked in Hands upside down, feet the wrong way Eyes twice doubled crossed folk say he was gay But he met a sweet lass, the love of his life They had ten mongrel kids that caused trouble and strife They fought with the neighbors from dawn to sundown The cops said “Go on you mongrels get out of this town” With bad tempers they fought like howling wild dogs Got into trouble, clogging up drains with strangled- dead frogs They pulled all the feathers out of their neighbor’s prize chooks Couldn’t read, so they burnt their school books Ate other kids lunches, broke the principals chair And when they has nothing to do, they taught catholic’s to swear Children’s services were called, but left in a fright With sedatives and aspirin, had nightmares all night A priest did baptize them, but he christened

them deranged Because they drank all his holy water, then ate a dog with the mange They would dribble and spit, from morning to till noon Groan and whine, like a bagpipe out of tune Stole cars, caused aero planes to crash And when their parents died, they sold their ashes for hash Well they all arrive at the pearly gate St Peter said “Here you’ll have to go to hell, because you guzzle your beer You’ve been rotten and stinking and you’re pretty bad as well But the devil said “No you’re too bad for my hell” So there’ll all up there circling, floating in space I hear their all starting their own human race Nobody wants them and I give you my word Its them belching, not thunder you heard Well they scattered the stars, killed the man on the moon, Broke Southern Cross, bent the Big Dipper and Spoon So god called on the devil and said “Let’s compromise” Well, that’s when they found out “I was just telling lies But I guess it’s no secret, we try real hard To stretch out an inch and make it a yard And I reckon its fair play and you must admit There’s nothing no better than listening to a Bit of good old Aussie “Bull” Whatever rhymes with “it”

JACKIE

The ﬁrst English-language ﬁlm by renowned Chilean director Pablo Larrain (No, Neruda), Jackie is about the immediate aftermath of John F. Kennedy’s assassination seen through the eyes of the iconic American widow, played by Natalie Portman (Black Swan) in a mesmerizing and very complex performance.

Larrain was so convinced that only Natalie Portman could impersonate Jacqueline Kennedy that he had refused to direct it with any other actress. His bet has obviously paid off, and the ﬁlm has already won multiple nominations and awards plus three Oscar nominations including best actress for Portman’s performance.

76613

In the film we witness the most famous first lady while she is fighting through grief and trauma in order to pull herself together, comfort her children and define her husband’s historical legacy before arriving to a state of grace in her mourning. Jacqueline Kennedy had to solve one practical dilemma after the other - starting from her husband’s funeral arrangements - while attempting to find space and time to mourn. She was surrounded by pragmatic officials who cared very little about her feelings, but even in the worse moments she appears as a woman quite in control of herself, switching between different masks when she is in front of the media, the public or her associates – there is a pivotal scene where she is interviewed just a week after Kennedy’s assassination – and wearing no mask only when she is really alone.

HI ALL, welcome to Local Sounds. This week I interviewed Michael Simmons from Mount Warning Tours who operates Tweed River boat tours on the Spirit of Wollumbin. You may think that this has nothing to do with Local Sounds but in fact Mount Warning tours has a music component. Q. How many trips on the river are you doing a week? A. We’re generally doing between six and ten trips a week. Over the holiday period we were doing up to four trips a day. Q. You’ve now started doing tours with music as well? A. We’re doing Sunday sessions, cocktail and music cruises with musicians from the Tweed Valley and we’re really looking forward to the different genres that will be played on the boat. Adding to the whole natural experience of what they’re getting on the river. Q. Did you start off Mount Warning Tours with someone else or on your own? A. I started off Mount Warning tours with my wife back in July, 2014 but six months ago we joined forces with Kym Master and his partner Jen and we’ve just expanded Mount Warning Tours together since they’ve been involved. Q. What inspired you to start the tours? A. The absolutely amazing backdrop that we have here in the Tweed Valley, with the rivers, the mountains, the headlands, the beaches and the rainforests. It’s a very inspiring place and I don’t think you’ll find any other place in Australia where you’ll find so much diversity in terms of natural experiences and also cultural experiences and foodie experiences. We’re very lucky to be able to live and work in such a wonderful environment and that in itself inspired to create Mount Warning Tours. Q. Did you find that there was a hole in the market, so to speak? Is that partially what inspired you to do it?

A. What inspired us was that we want to connect the coast and the rainforest and connect the coast to the valley and yes, there was an opportunity to do that, focusing upstream from Chinderah is where we do almost everything. Chinderah, Tumbulgum and of course Murwillumbah, then out into the Border Ranges as well with some of our other land based experiences such as the four-wheel drive tours, six-wheel drive tours, our sightseeing tours and also our food and farm tours that we do with Tweed Foodie Festival. There was that opportunity. It was an opportunity that I recognised after working in this field overseas for a number of years and then coming back and realising just how fantastic everything is in our own backyard and the opportunity that existed for responsible and sustainable visitor experiences that were multi-faceted, that combined a number of different elements and that’s where it comes from. Q. Can people hire this tour for their party? A. Yes absolutely. We’ve done quite a few parties. And Christmas parties. Some of them had music. Some provided their own music and others we organised the music for them. Q. What about weddings? A. We’ve got a couple of weddings coming up later this year. We’ll be working closely with some of the riverside establishments that do weddings, including the Chapel here at Tumbulgum, The House of Gabriel, the Tumbulgum Tavern and also Greenhills in Murwillumbah as well. Q. How do the public get in contact with Mount Warning Tours to book a tour? A. By calling our office on (02) 6672 3229. We’ve also opened up an office in Bay Street Tweed Heads.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Cr Byrnes talks water extraction following council meeting TWEED SHIRE Councillor Reece Byrnes said he’s confident that current and future water extraction activities across the Tweed are sustainable based on available evidence. Mr Byrnes responded to several questions from The Weekly on Tuesday to get his views on the future of water extraction and pointed out the industries of water extraction for bottling had been operated “in our Shire for many years”. “Councillors and the wider community need the confidence that this industry is environmentally friendly and totally sustainable,” he said. “That is why I moved at our recent Council meeting to consult the scientists and the hydrologists in the office of water to come and present us with the facts. “Current licences only allow for a measured use of water (in comparison with the amount of groundwater available) to be taken from underground flowing water. As this is taken, nature in its course is already recharging/refilling the amount taken.” Mr Byrnes pointed out that the only matter for Council to consider was the use of roads. “And I personally believe that must be evaluated on a case by case basis in mind with how a rural community actually works and operates,” he said. Q. Do you support water extraction across the Tweed regardless of whether there is any local employment? “The Water extraction industry already provides many local families with sustained and ongoing employment,” he said. “Families who work and spend in our local Tweed Shire economy.

“Yaru water in partnership with Mount Warning Spring Water company also invest heavily into our local Indigenous community and support measures to close the gap.” Q. Do you understand some of the concerns that residents have in regards to truck movements? Could you please expand on this and provide your views on traffic? “Yes. Industry does have a responsibility to the Shire they do business in and this includes roads,” he said. “I would be happy for Council to look at conditions in future applications that would see such operations contributing (ongoing) to the maintenance and safety of Council roads. Council must do all it can to ensure safety for residents without shutting down an important rural industry. “However Council must also remember we are dealing with rural roads that support rural industries. These same roads are in use for farming and other rural industries and have been so for decades. Many dairies require the use of trucks on like roads for the transportation of milk products.” Q. Do you believe the water beneath Tweed should benefit locals? “Absolutely. But it should be understood that this water is flowing, and can cover a greater area than our shire. The question of right of use or right to farm are questions for a different level of government,” he said. Q. When do you hope to be briefed by Water NSW and what do you anticipate will be the feedback from Water NSW representatives? “I hope that fellow Councillors and in turn the wider community are informed as soon as possible,” he said. I anticipate the feedback will highlight the correct facts and science.”

Snakes loving heatwave CRYSTAL CREEK resident June Birkett recently shared this python photo with The Weekly. “We recently noticed a large pyton living in my garden outside my front door,” she said. “He or she lives under the bed of plants and pop up for a sunbake. “I always know when it is going to move as a slight shiver starts on the body and them movemeent starts in the muscles and it slides down under the garden.” SHARE YOUR PHOTOS: Have you got a cracking photo in your garden or around the Tweed?

Still plenty of good sized Jewfish around Chinderah and the river mouth. Weigh-ins of 12.5kg are the largest so far in February, but we’ve heard tales of larger fish… Lots of Whiting in the river, mainly small fish but some good catches around high tide. Flathead too have been plentiful around sand banks, being caught on small diving lures; also around bridges and other structures. Surface fishing has been more successful offshore this week with good catches of Giant Trevally around Nine Mile and further south. Not much happening to the north. Stick baits, surface lures and pillies have been the most successful. Plenty of Yellowfin, Mackerel, Kingfish and Wahoo are also being caught along the close reefs. Generally some really good, fun fishing! New stocks of Flash soft plastics have finally arrived at Tweed Tackle & Marine. Great for Bream and Flathead. Also,Tiemco and Bassday lures are in store. Come in and check them out!

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately? Ever Heard of a Sacrificial Anode?

A sacriﬁcial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efﬁciently working system and a costly replacement. Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion. THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE SOLAR, ELECTRIC, GAS OR HEAT PUMPS FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in the Tweed & Gold Coast area FREE OF CHARGE. “REMEMBER YOU CAN’T LOSE, NO ANODE REPLACEMENT NO CHARGE” Comes with a 5 year warranty ~ Make your Hot Water System last for 30 years!

POLICE BEAT Public urged to take care in the heat POLICE ARE reminding people to take care in the heat with temperatures forecast to reach the high 30s on the weekend. As the weather heats up motorists are also reminded it is an offence for children or pets to be left unattended in a vehicle, even with the air conditioning on. Livestock and pet owners are also being urged to ensure adequate clean water is always available and that shading is provided where possible. Additionally, no animals should be left in confined, unventilated areas. Everyone needs to take care in hot weather, but some people are at higher risk of heat illness, especially if they are older, live alone or are socially-isolated. Remember to; • Stay well hydrated; • Avoid alcohol and hot or sugary drinks; • Limit your physical activity; • Try to stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day; • Wear light, loose-fitting clothing made from natural fibres like cotton; Regularly check your local forecast from the Bureau of Meteorology on your radio, TV or on the internet; • Get advice from your doctor about whether your medication and/or your medical conditions may affect what you should do if it gets extremely hot; • Make sure you know who you are going to

Seagulls give the Knights a run around Murwillumbah IT WAS a cracking night for local football with more than 500 people packing the stands of Stan Sercombe Oval, Murwillumbah, to watch the Newcastle Kinights play a trial match against the Tweed Heads Seagulls on Saturday, February 4. Although the Tweed Heads Seagulls went down 22 to the Knight’s 38, the Gulls showed the side was ready for a big season in the Intrust Super Cup tournament. It was Jack Cogger that scored first try for the Knights and the side showed good form early and lead 28-6 at the break, The Knights benched a large portion of their experienced players at halftime and the swap allowed the Seagulls to stage a comeback before the Knights regained in the final quarter. A big effort went to the Gulls’ David Sheridan who ran more than 90 metres after an intercepted ball. Coach Aaron Zimmerle was pleased with the team’s performance against the Knights squad who featured several NRL players and captained by former NSW halfback Trent Hodkinson. “It was pleasing that we hung in there in the second half of the game and the boys handled the level against NRL company pretty well,” Zimmerle said. Knights scorers were Jack Cogger, Heath Gibbs, Kainoa Gudgeon (2), Tom Hughes (2), Chanel Mata’utia, fullback Dylan Phythian, Trent Hodkinson (kicked 4/5), Jake McNamara (1/1), Will Pearsall (0/1) Try scorers for the Gulls were Shane Gillham, Kurt Bernard. Tevita Folau and Dave Sheridan with goals to Michael Burgess (2) and Sam Meskell. Meanwhile there will be little rest for the Gulls with all three senior grades – Cup, A grade and under-20s facing the Burleigh Bears this Saturday at Firth Park.

call (who may need help, and who could provide help to you if needed) – make a list of telephone numbers. • If you can, it’s a good idea to spend some time in an air-conditioned building.

Bowls Notes

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

with Judy Tuckey

High standard of bowls displayed by all at Condong SEMIS AND finals of the T.B.D.B.A. Open, Reserve Grade and Over 60’s Championships conducted at Condong B.C. provided a great day of bowls with a high standard displayed by all contestants. Semi one in the Opens had Byron Bay’s Steve Hammond (S), Aaron Richter-Steers, and Brett Luker up against Condong’s Warren Peart (S), Dave Cranwell and Alan Fawcett (Sub for M. Chilcott). The Condong lads opened the score card and holding the lead throughout, closed the game with a comfy margin. In semi two Kingscliff’s Michael Turner (S), Trevor Hills and Greg Barrack found the going tough against Condong’s James Knight (S), Dean Lucan and Jacob Miller. Condong took the lead early and were sitting on a comfy 29-14 lead at the completion of 19 ends. A resurgence from the Kingscliff team reduced their deficit by 14 shots during the following 5 ends with the score at 29-28 in Condong’s favour. Knight & Co, moving up a gear or two, then hauled in 3 shots on the last end to claim a berth in the final. The final of this year’s Open Triples was an all in Condong affair with team Peart up against team Knight, In an absolute thriller, Peart’s squad, after a slow start, took the lead on the fifteenth end and held that position to take the game with a narrow margin. In the Reserve Grade semis Byron Bay’s Steve Robson (S), Graeme Davis and Bob Cooke were challenging Bangalow’s Richard Rombouts (S) Shane Mahoney and Gerry Swain in semi one resulting in a hard fought battle with the Bangalow

lads defeating their opposition to take the game with a narrow margin. Semi two and two Ocean Shores teams were facing off for a spot in the final. Neil McLeod (S), Jason Haywood and Kirk Olive didn’t hesitate in eliminating their club mates David Harman (S), David Pyne and Danny Hayer with a solid score to go forward. The final in this principle saw Bangalow’s team Rombouts holding a narrow lead over Ocean Shores McLeod crew for 14 ends when Ocean Shores then levelled the score. Scoring then see-sawed over the next 7 ends with Ocean Shores picking up 3 shots on the 24th end to edge in front and hold that position and take the game with a minimum of shots. Senior Triples semis conducted at Mullumbimby last week resulted in what was to be an all in Cabarita Final. Caba’s Dave Crow (S), Brian Kent and Doug Moir held off a strong challenge from Kingscliff’s Don McDonald (S), Stuart Miles and Colin Bryan in semi one. Semi two and Caba’s Ron Hutchinson (S), Chris Mullins and John McArdle eliminated Mullumbimby’s Larry Henry (S), Jean-Claude Canabou and Michael Nichols. The final of this event between two Cabarita teams, also conducted at Condong, saw team Crow tear away with an early lead against team Hutchinson, and carry on to close the game with a solid margin. Sunday 26 February a Five-A-Side Tournament between Bowls Far North Coast NSW (Zone One) and G.C.B.A. is scheduled to be conducted at Cudgen Leagues B.C.

T.B.D.B.A. 2017 Open Triples Champions. (L to R) – Dave Cranwell, Warren Peart (S), Alan Fawcett

Formatted with five principles – Under 25’s, Open, 30-59 Yrs, Over 60’s and Arm Bowlers playing pairs and triples, Round 1 of 3 is set down to commence 9.30 am followed by Rounds 2 and 3 after lunch. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Bulldogs drop by as local footy gets going THE NRL season is yet to start but the local footy has been running hot with no rest for the Seagulls’ Intrust Super Cup squad after a big effort against Newcastle Knights at Murwillumbah on Saturday, February 4. All three senior Seagulls grades – Cup, A grade and under20s – will face the Burleigh Bears this Saturday, February 11, at Firth Park. Coach Aaron Zimmerle said he was pleased with the effort of his side in keeping the Knights, containing several NRL players led by former NSW halfback Trent Hodkinson, to a 38-22 defeat. Yet he is looking for improvement in the remaining two trials, against NRL feeder clubs the Bears (Titans and

Souths Logan (Storm). “Certainly, the Gulls will have more ‘oomph ‘up front with Titans contracted players Kurt Bernard and Ben Nakubuwai, a Petero Civoniceva lookalike on the field, showing tremendous potential,” Mr Zimmerle said on the Seagulls website. “Add the couple, former teammates in Melbourne Storm’s under-20s, to Ethan Price and Shane Gillham, plus the raw ‘work in progress’ of Fijian wrecking ball Tikiko Noki, and there is good depth of size and power up front. “It was pleasing that we hung in there in the second half of the game and the boys handled the level against NRL company pretty well.” Back-rower Lamar Liolevave, signed from Canterbury,

showed why he was chosen to debut for Wests Tigers as a 20-year-old and was a two-season Junior Kiwi with a tremendous debut against the Knights and he is going to be a major addition to the side. Meanwhile, several star players from the Canterbury Bulldogs visited schools across Murwillumbah last week including Mt St Patricks College and Murwillumbah East Primary School. This Saturday’s match details are below. Saturday February 11, Firth Park, Mudgeeraba Tweed Seagulls v Burleigh Bears 4pm: Under-20s, 5:30pm: A-grade and 7pm: Queensland Cup

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC – Keith Kennedy

CUDGEN ARE the NSW Country Champions with a massive win in the point score at the weekend carnival at South West Rocks. The Championships attracted entries from 39 clubs with over 1,400 competitors. The Saturday programme was ceased mid afternoon due to lightening with a threatening storm. A revised programme for Sunday eliminated several events including double skis, tube rescues, some board rescue and all age surf team. Final points were Cudgen 1105, Sawtell 541, Byron Bay 473, Port Macquarie 352, Lennox Head 301, WarillaBarrack Point 259, Coffs Harbour 202, Tacking Point 183, Cabarita 175, Wauchope- Bonny Hills 174. The team events were well contested by our members who backed up from lower age groups to open teams. A first, from memory, was the female open beach relay team of Freya Curnow, Mette Klinkers, Sophie Boyd and Chantel Luxton. Whilst the men went to Jarrad Cain, Scott McCartney, Luke Chaffer and Angus McPhail.

Board riding medals were gained by Kelly O’Callaghan, Sophie Boyd, Elise O’Callaghan, Jason Pearson, Louis Hampson. In surf teams events Cudgen won the open, -19, -17, -15, -13, -10 and -9 years. In open and -19 events, Luke Chaffer was a stand out competitor in both team and individual winning the -19 Iron, board, ski and open iron and ski. In the male team events they were successful in the 17, 19 and open taplin, board and ski relays. In the 17 years, Josh Jones, Kia Onley,Rory Matthews, Baily Copeland, Cody Bell and Liam McPhail all had individual and team wins. In the 17 female stand out members were Anthea Warne, Shaylla Young, Mette Klinkers, Chantel Luxton, Freya Curnow, Sophie Boyd, Sarah Wilson who shared many team and individual results. Hayley Smith had good results in the 15 year girls, Maddy Crawley and Joseph Warne in the 14 year, Ollisa Onley, Lily

O’Sullivan and Darcy Reinke in the 13, Elizabeth Warne in 12 year, Taj Clak and Molly Eddy 10 year. Masters competitors who medalled were Jo Colja, Sue Eke, Jan Gielis, Jenny Curnow, Ian Curnow, Adam Mills and Warren Boyd. The final result sheet totals 151 pages, too much to go through to get these notes in to publish, so many names with good results will be missed in these notes. The final point score for the Branch Junior point score at Yamba was Cudgen 601, Lennox 481, Byron Bay 304 and Cabarita 196. Normal beach activities this week with the Senior Branch Titles at Byron Bay the following Sunday. Entertainment – Friday Troy Cox and Sunday – Eureka Funk. Patrols: Sat. 11.2.

WICKET TO WICKET Tweed Valley Junior Sides well placed for another big season ALL TWEED Valley clubs are well placed in their respective junior competitions after the Christmas break. In the under 12’s both Cudgen Stingers and Murwillumbah Panthers are in the top two of the 15 team Tweed Ballina competition. Both sides featured in a catch up game at Rabjones Oval last Friday night which was well received by players and families. The Stingers 7/128 were too good for the home side 6/112 in that clash. Whilst in the Under 14’s Cudgen and Pottsville are in 1st and 4th position. The Pelicans 9/17 had a hard fought win over Cudgen 5/115 off the back of some good batting contributions from siblings Sam 34 and Ted Clohesy 24, despite an unbeaten 40 from the Hornets Jack Cullen. In the Under 16’s 2nd placed Murwillumbah 80 will be looking for a better day out against leaders Tintenbar East Ballina who resume on 2/45 at Rabjones Oval. Likewise Pottsville 116 will be looking for early wickets against Alstonville 2/60 at home. In the final Tweed game Cudgen resume on 1/3 chasing Lennox Head’s 187 at Reg Dalton. The Tweed Valley will be running an Under 11, 13 and

15 representative sides in the upcoming Far North Coast Interdistrict 1 day series over the next month or so. Similarly the Under 19’s Tweed side take on Casino this Sunday at Rabjones Oval from 10am. All sides will be drawing inspiration from the open side who took out the NSW Country Championships over the Xmas period in Grafton. The 19’s side will be led by Connor Ziebell who featured in the opens success. Hooker League Update Cudgen 251 was too good in their clash over Pottsville 107 and 5/149 at Reg Dalton Oval. Caleb Ziebell continued on to score 139 as the Hornets pressed for outright points but were thwarted by some solid rear-guard batting from Jamie Bennett46 and Aaron Laycock 42. The next day the Hornets easily accounted for Tintenbar East Ballina in the One Day series final at home. The Hornets bowled out the visitors for 50, with James Julius 4/19, mick Anderson 3/22 and Anthony Kershler taking 2/3. In reply Tait Burns continued his good form remaining unbeaten on 30. Coastal League Finals Spots Up For Grabs

Captain Grant Thompson 75no and 2/31 ensured Terranora 6/158 continued their winning way to maintain top spot with a hard fought win over 3rd placed Alstonville 5/157. Murwillumbah 7/210 sit in equal 5th spot with Cudgen after a last ditch tie with second placed Tintenbar East Ballina 6/210. The visitors who feature a number or experienced ex first graders and a sprinkling of talented juniors were cruising in reply before three late wickets stymied their progress. Oliver Twohill took two wickets and affected a run out to assist the home side sharing the points. Earlier Ashton Wilson 69 pictured and Curtis Strong 46 got the Panthers off to an excellent start before some tight bowling restricted the home sides score. With four weeks or regular games Cudgen and Murwillumbah will be looking to shore up a top four spot. Games this weekend see Terranora host Cudgen, Pottsville are away to Ballina Bears whilst Murwillumbah host an improving Mullumbimby Brunswick who beat Cudgen in their recent game.
