Coming Up: REVIVAL

Height concerns boil over KINGSCLIFF RESIDENT Ken (Stents) Nicholson attended two full days at an enquiry by design workshop,

“I’ve become concerned about Tweed Council’s planners and wonder why the general manager doesn’t pull them into line,” Mr Nicholson wrote to The Weekly and several other media sources recently.

“Kingscliff’s three storeys is an important part of its attraction for everyone. Why do they want to interfere with it - someone very powerful must want this - all the councillors we elected knew about this long-standing desire of the local community,” he said.

Mr Nicolson has joined several other Kingscliff residents, including Ron Cooper, that share concerns about the push for height increases, which many long-term locals believe will send Kingscliff in the same direction as the Gold Coast.

“Let me tell them. Visitors from the Gold Coast love coming here to relax and escape the mayhem up there.

Visitors from Byron Bay are escaping from traffic chaos and parking meters. International tourists love the place.

To the rest of us it is home,” he wrote.

“Council took a backward step with the one way. The slide should not continue with tall buildings. They’re whittling away our lifestyle and I can only believe it’s all because of short-term monetary gain for someone.”

Council GM backs his staff

IN RESPONSE, Tweed Shire Council General

Manager Troy Green said he welcomed genuine and constructive feedback from the community on the Council’s activities and its performance in delivering the full range of its services.

“However, I cannot accept Mr Nicholson’s mischievous insinuation that Council planning staff are operating with unprecedented autonomy or worse still that they are colluding with some external benefactor of the conceptual increase in development heights that were recently exhibited as part of the draft Kingscliff Locality plan process,” Mr Green wrote to The Weekly in response.

“It is important to recognise that the conceptual building heights, density and those other long-term development proposals/strategies advertised were the product of significant consultation with those groups mentioned, and it was the collective ‘ideas’ of those individuals, who

facilitated by a highly regarded independent architectural firm, that piloted the exhibition materials produced by the Council planners; information that is readily available on Council’s web site.”

Mr Green said council staff respected that the building height issue is a long-standing one and that many in the local community have fought long and hard over the last 30 years to ensure that development of the area is sympathetic with the communities’ values.

Council’s artists impression of Pearl Street, Kingscliff “That being said, what better way to validate or reaffirm the opinion or views of the present community than to do as we have done; to engage and consult, to have the face to face conversations as we have had with close to 2000 visitors to the Kingscliff shopfront, and to listen and reflect on those broader views,” he said.

“I hear your concerns and we are here to talk those through with you, and anyone else, and I ask only of you to extend the same common courtesy and to remain factual in your public commentary.”

Tax man hunts fake charities THE AUSTRALIAN Tax Office is on the hunt throughout the Tweed for businesses that may be incorrectly claiming to be a not-for-profit organisation in order to avoid paying tax.

Assistant Commissioner Scott Parkinson said that the ATO was reviewing instances where individuals and small businesses have set-up ‘private foundations’ through which they stream their contractor or business income.

“In these cases the foundations and people who control them do not comply with their tax obligations such as income tax, superannuation and GST,” Mr Parkinson said.

“We are currently engaging with a number of taxpayers who we believe are operating under similar structures to get a better understanding of the arrangements in place.

The ATO will take compliance action where we identify taxpayers that have entered into this type of arrangement.”

Mr Parkinson said that it is illegal to operate business activities through a not-for-profit organisation for the sole

purpose of avoiding income tax responsibilities.

“Significant financial and criminal penalties could apply to people that make false or misleading claims about their tax affairs, such as falsely claiming to be a not-for-profit organisation,” he said.

“Not-for-profit organisations exist to help others, to promote cultural, religious, community and recreational activities, or to improve our society. They don’t exist to help people stay out of the tax system.”

Individuals and businesses who have concerns about the way they have structured their affairs, can contact the ATO to make a voluntary disclosure to provide advice and correct past mistakes.

If you have information about these arrangements or would like to make a voluntary disclosure, phone 1800 177 006 (press 1 for the taxpayer alert option).

You can also email them on reportataxscheme@ato. gov.au

TALKING KOALAS with koala expert Dr Steve Phillips 'As a playing field within the landscape everything is wrong with that sports field (Black Rocks) area. It is a gap in an otherwise vegetated landscape. It has a long winding road to this sports field which is not effectively integrated into the developed landscape. So according to ecological first principle planning processes it is actually in the wrong position.' [Dr Phillips, 7/3/2015]

TWEED HEADS

*Redeemable for 1 month from publication date

We say “no” to AquaSplash As residents of Tweed Heads we would like to register our disapproval of the proposed installation of Aqua Splash in The Jack Ev We cannot believe that such a project could even be considered as it would ruin the lovely natural setting of The Jack Evans Boat Harbour.

The effect this fixture would have on the local environment would be irreversibly detrimental - not to mention an eyesore.

Aqua Splash would dominate the harbour to the exclusion of all other activities which blend in with our natural and vibrant environment - eg Anzac Commemorations, Dragon Boat racing, boating, water sport, lifesaving training and most of all - families enjoying the wonderful sheltered waters and swimming along with dolphins and turtles.

Trish and Bill Lawrie, Tweed Heads

I’m begging you council

In regards to the aqua splash for the Jack Evans boat harbour - I plead with the council not to pass it. At present the harbour is a classy, peaceful atmosphere that we are all proud of.

It took years of planning to get the harbour to its present state.

The aqua splash will not only spoil the beauty but also the ambience. Dry Dock road water sports club area is a perfect alternative. Has the car parking as well as a safe water area to use.

I hope the council comes to its senses & doesn’t spoil the beauty of the Jack Evans boat harbour.

Heather Inwood, Tweed Heads

More transparency needed I am writing in response to ‘Funding cuts not to blame says CEO’, in the Local News - Tweed Valley Weekly 21 April 2016, and

as a DV survivor and a concerned community member.

I would like to know the details and reasons why TVWS’s funding was withdrawn in relation to the seeming allegations in Ms De Vos’s (OTCP) statements that “TVWS’s conduct and particularly their ability to support women and children escaping domestic violence”, TVWS’s “ongoing contract breaches” and the seemingly “serious nature of the issues”, and why TVWS’s proper delivery of service had been called into question.

On the face of it we still do not have answers to make the forced closure of TVWS clear and less confusing.

It seems that the community cannot make informed decisions when the information we are receiving is incomplete and not transparent, especially when the funding is coming from the public purse.

It seems that continuation of this lack of transparency is perpetuation of the long held myth that domestic violence is something to be hidden and not discussed. Hopefully we have moved on.

Please, the community deserves transparency not just mere words about some alleged transgressions by TVWS, Ms De Vos. Further, the Tweed Valley Women’s Services is obviously unable to continue their service without full restoration of their funding, which seems vital in continuing provision of proven and excellent DV services to the community.

Funding for domestic violence services should, at least, be allocated to a specialist domestic and family violence service, and not solely to an organisation, such as On Track Community Programs, whose obvious expertise is in the provision of important services for those experiencing homelessness. I think we need to be mindful of funding being allocated to the best possible service providers for the best possible outcomes for those affected by these awful crimes.

Also homelessness is only one outcome of domestic violence.

We need to be aware that many domestic violence victims are not homeless, and this I believe makes these sufferers more vulnerable, due to many issues; one being that their abusive partners are sometimes held in high regard in the community.

These issues complicate their process of speaking out against

the perpetrator. Do you think these victims would feel safe attending a community centre for assistance?

I have not received, to date, any replies to my emails in regards to the funding cuts to TVWS from the Nationals members in our electorate, which suggests to me like they have washed their hands of this important issue.

This it seems should not be about political point scoring but about finding best practices in service delivery to end this crime against women and children.

Pat (surname withheld), Murwillumbah

Humans need to heed obvious warning signs Western society became unsustainable because it was not paying the full cost of its demand for commodities.

Costs were shunted off to the environment or to a sector of the society that became comparatively poor.

One can notice that when an environmental issue becomes prominent, the only way to fix it is by paying additional economic cost. This can be seen as making restitution for what can be seen as civilisation’s past ignorance of not understanding that the world’s natural economy is give and take, not just take.

The issue of the serious decline of the Grey-headed flying fox and their negative perception by some humans, is the environment asking that it be paid.

Flying foxes near human settlement, spiders in houses or under eaves, wasps on fascia are not signs something is wrong with nature. They are signs for humans to re-examine settlement patterns.

Allowing nature; paying the environmental cost, may involve houses near flying fox colonies being occupied by urban gardeners who are pleased to collect flying fox manure.

Areas under the colony can be strewn with straw (Setaria is a good straw), then collected for composting.

Arguably, a major, and initiating move for humans to enter the sustainable economy is to farm the land immediately surrounding their dwelling despite the additional economic cost. This has many sustainable effects.

Not least, it potentially increases human immune system response that is a preventative method for bypassing micro life that can be harmful to humans.

What’s Murwillumbah’s future look like?

A letter to the editor from Katherine Butterworth (Letters 21/4) pointed out to have our say on the North Coast Regional Plan.

I congratulate her on making this observation and agree with her comments as the town is the gateway to this wonderful region.

A former Brisbane resident, I’ve moved to Murwillumbah four years ago and see the town with a lot of potential but have not seen a master plan for the area.

I do remember when Brisbane opened up the river to the people, the town thrived and rejuvenated a lot of the neglected areas along the river. Here in Murwillumbah we have a valuable but under utilised asset in the Tweed River.

The area from The Riverview Hotel all the way south of the bridge into the town could be transformed into a connectivity to the river.

I see a lot of the Art Deco buildings in town in serious need of upkeep. Is there a program between land owners and council to assist in restoration/ maintenance of these buildings which then could be profitable via architecture tourism.

The new owner(s) of the Imperial sees their new investment as a boutique hotel which I see as needed for a potential tourism boom in the near future.

Does Council do enough to promote industries to establish in the Industrial Area, I see a lot of vacant land and a potential workforce to work in them.

Michael De Re (MAIB), Murwillumbah

Inflatable shock and Horror AquaSplash. The license to pump up a few rubber duckies and float them out on the pond outside Twin Towns RSL; has hit the news.

Because it’s the latest fight between opposing Tweed Shire Councillors. And for those of you ratepayers that have not followed these grave events the inflatables (shock horror) had to go before a decision of the Council with security guards abounding the walls and the decision was the subject of boos and heckles.

Now to the latest critical developments. It could all be over turned when the Mayor returns from sick leave. No doubt there will have to be an opposing motion with wall to wall security guards, to hold the hecklers back, from whatever brave decision our Councillors may have to make. Lest we have next to pay

for fridge magnets, to report suspected local hecklers, and/or stupid Councillors.

T Sharples, Tweed Heads

Stop hacking at the trees

Hi, I read an article in the Tweed Valley Weekly about Corellas damanging our native birdlife.

The article stated that the main problem is that Corellas use hollows in trees to breed. I would like to point out that if people would stop cutting down trees this simply wouldn’t be a problem.

Last year the Tweed shire council cut down a Gumtree near the bridge in Murwillumbah and when I contacted them about it they said that the tree was cut down because it wasn’t native to this area.

Gumtrees are native to Australia whether that species is native to this area or not and gumtrees hollows are commonly used by native birds so the attitude that it isn’t native to this area is one of the reasons we have this problem with Corellas.

Joanna Smith, Murwillumbah

Standing up for Science

Jim Berting is talking about “Not jumping the gun on climate” The Weekly recently, that gun has been fired a long time ago, he’s just missed the target. If he would actually read ‘mainstream’ science, then he would know that carbon pollution is a big contributor to global warming; and that 97% of climate scientists agree with that statement. Despite that overwhelming scientific consensus and evidence, I have no doubt that Mr Berting will continue to refute and deny mainstream science, by quoting isolated, out of context data from ‘fringe’ science. Climate science is the most scrutinised and peer-reviewed science with a very high consensus, but has been under attack from vested interest groups, some politicians and individuals, for quite some time now. They always use the same tactics: They repeat the same data from isolated, out of context variables, and quote answers and questions from the same climate contrarian scientists. It then appears, that there is still disunity amongst climate scientists. My personal opinion is based on information from respected science journals and organisations (e.g. NASA or ICCC), but I do not pretend to be a climate expert, I’m just an advocate for science and I am concerned for the next generation.

Tweed Koalas fall further towards extinction

THE TWEED koala population is now classified as endangered by the NSW Scientific Community and the announcement has outraged local conservation groups who are already struggling to give our furry friends a fighting chance.

an ecologically important habitat block that will make a meaningful contribution to the recovery needs of the Tweed Coast koala population.

What hope do our koalas have when council ignores the advice of the koala specialist?”

Mr Norris said there is now grave fears that the Tweed Coast koalas will go down the same path as the Barrenjoey Peninsula koalas, which was the first koala population to be listed as endangered in NSW, but are now near extinction.

“Let’s learn the lessons of the past.

The security and nurturing of the remaining koalas is vital,” he said.

“Unless council immediately implements a bold, recoveryoriented plan as recommended by Dr Phillips, localised koala extinction is inevitable.”

The Weekly received a flood of letters and comments following the endangered listing announcement last week.

The letters came from concerned residents and conservation society heads asking: “do we want to save the Tweed koala?”

Threatened Species Conservation Society Inc president David Norris said the endangered listing was inconsistent with claims that the koala population between Black Rocks and Koala Beach was stable.

“Under Tweed Shire Council’s watch, the Tweed Coast koala population declined by 50 per cent in the decade previous to the 2010 study, with a further 50 per cent reduction in significant koala activity sites identified in the 2015 study,” he said.

“This is clear evidence that to date council’s koala management actions have not worked.”

Mr Norris said the Australian icon was now threatened with extinction.

“In December 2014, Dr Steve Phillips wrote to council expressing his concern that the Tweed Coast Koala Plan of Management (KPoM) was nowhere near as assertive as what it needed to be if it were to effect koala recovery action,” Mr Norris said.

“He has also recommended revegetation of the Black Rocks sports field because it would create

“Do we want to save our koalas or not?”

Team Koala Inc president Jenny Hayes put a motion forward several years ago at a meeting of the Koala Advisory Group to put to the NSW Scientific Committee that the koala be given endangered status.

“The koala is disappearing under our watch and it will be most probable within the next five to ten years that we have the extinction of the Tweed Coast koala,” she said.

“The 2015 Study revealed that the number of koalas have plummeted in the Kings Forest area which is devastating. Development at Kings Forest hasn’t even begun there so I couldn’t imagine why the numbers are plummeting there The overriding question is “Do we want to save our Koalas or not?”

Northern Rivers Guardians Inc president Scott Sledge has targeted Councillor Barry Longland, claiming he “selectively uses Dr Steve Phillips advice” “At the April council meeting Cr Barry Longland stated that Dr Steve Phillips is the ecologist selectively quoted by the group who want to revegetate the oval,” Mr Sledge said.

“Yet who does Longland go to for advice about installing a koala grid at Black Rocks? Dr Phillips – not to council ecologists. Yet Longland chooses to ignore Dr Phillips’ advice to revegetate Black Rocks sports field, ignore his estimation that koala numbers are dwindling in the Pottsville Wetlands/Black Rocks area, ignore his study linking human noise and disturbance with chlamydia and ignore his call for a moratorium on all development at Black Rocks.”

“Pottsville wetland / Black Rocks koalas need to recover from the Chrismas 2014 fire which Dr Phillips said is likely to have wiped out up 60 per cent of them. Cr Longland has said this issue is now decided, but it is not. Koala protectors will never stand idle while revegetation of the sports field could save these koalas which are threatened with local extinction. Another sports field can be established that’s not surrounded by a wildlife reserve which would be more accessible to the public.

Koalas, a keystone species, are dying at Black Rocks sports field, because of destructive decisions supported by council.”

YOUR THOUGHTS: What actions would you like to see to preserve the Tweed Coast koala population?

Send us an email editor@ theweekly.net.au

Social media comments: Trevor Rose Hardly surprising with so much tourism, development, and so few corridors for passage where they don’t need to cross a road - if for example you head from Condong via Clothiers Creek to Cabarita Beach, there’s a little section of road with a warning sign about koalas crossing - this is simply not sufficient. What we need is the development of a significant number of land bridges to allow them and other creatures unfettered access to a variety of ecosystems from the ocean shoreline through to the mountains where they never once need to cross a road. Nothing short of this will suffice.

Margaret Mangelsdorf Too little too late when we had Koalas in our back yard Tweed Shire Council didn’t care about them or their plight. The residents tried to get some sort of help cooperation even. Now it’s too late it’s boo hoo, the Feds are the same don’t give a rats that’s why they are putting a freeway smack through the middle of their habitat. Aussie koalas should all be declared critically endangered otherwise they will go the same way as the tassie tiger.

Our furry friends are facing a tough future and several residents fear the koala’s plight is reaching its end.

Heartfelt tributes flow for “guardian angel”

73672

HUNDREDS OF residents attended a beach memorial service for Ryan Martin on Saturday, April 30, at Fingal Head.

!!! ATTENTION !!!

Ryan lost his life attempting to save the life of seven-year-old Toowoomba girl Rihanna Milabo on Good Friday this year.

It’s believed the girl was seen struggling in a strong rip when Ryan and another bystander entered the sea to rescue the girl.

However, all three ended up struggling in the strong currents forcing local lifeguards to make the tough choice of who to save first.

The 30-year-old Burleigh Heads man received an outpouring of emotion from locals and family members, who described Ryan as a kind-hearted person and brave soul.

Ryan’s brother, Josh Martin, joined in a

paddle out at Fingal Head beach with his loved ones to release flowers into the sea.

Josh told the Fingal Rovers Surf Life Saving Club president Steven Kudzius that he was overwhelmed by the tribute to his brother and best mate.

“I’m so thankful to the Fingal Rovers for hosting the tribute for Ryan,” he told Mr Kudzius.

At the family’s request a fundraising campaign was setup with all the funds raised going towards the support of the Fingal Rovers SLSC. The Martin family said the club “deserved all the help they could get” in continuing to patrol one of the coast’s most treacherous beaches.

The funds, along with a Federal Government grant, were used to purchase a new all-terrain vehicle which was carries the name “Team Ryan” as a tribute.

The Rotarians are coming for their annual conference The Rotarians are attending the Rotary District 9640 Annual Conference hosted by the three Rotary Clubs in Murwillumbah which include Murwillumbah, Murwillumbah Central and Mt Warning AM. It is the first time that Murwillumbah has hosted the Conference notwithstanding that the Murwillumbah Rotary Club was established in 1931.

It is also significant that the current District Governor for Rotary District 9640 is local resident, Anne Egan. The only other member of a Murwillumbah Club to serve as District Governor was Tony Hayes in 2008/09.

Speakers at the Conference include not only the 2016 Australian of the Year but also the 2016 Young Australians of the Year (Nicholas Marchesi and Lucas Patchett). These

two young men established the Orange Sky Laundry in Brisbane. There are a host of other inspirational speakers.

Many notable Rotarians will be in attendance with none more notable than Rotary International President Ian Riseley from Melbourne. In 2017/18 Ian will serve as the International President of Rotary International of which there are over 1.2 million members worldwide.

The Conference will be a chance for Rotarians from District 9640, which extends from the northern Gold Coast to Grafton in the south east, to Glen Innes in south west and to Goondiwindi (which is affectionately regarded by Rotarians in the District as “way out west”). For Rotarians it is a time to renew old acquaintances, make new friends, learn more about Rotary and the world and have a great time.

The main social events during the Conference proper will be a pool party on Friday evening at the Murwillumbah Pool Complex and dinner on Saturday evening in the

adjoining covered car park which will have an Aquarius theme as the Conference is called the “First Light Conference” due to its location near Mt Warning where the sun first meets Australia.

There are also opportunities for Conference delegates to attend a pre-conference tour of Madura Tea Plantation and a post-conference river cruise on the Tweed.

Rotary International is the oldest service organisation in the world having been established in Chicago in 1905. It’s motto is service above self and the organisation provides an opportunity for individuals to work together to improve the lives of others both locally, nationally and on the international stage in a spirit of fun and good fellowship.

Currently, Rotary International’s most prominent project is the Polio Plus Campaign which aims to rid the world of polio. After contributing many millions of dollars and even more man hours the task is almost complete.

Dog abuse anger A PUBLIC act of animal cruelty that allegedly

occurred on the main street of Murwillumbah recently, has outraged several locals and sparked widespread debate about the treatment of family pets.

73739

FOUR HUNDRED and fifty Rotarians, including partners and guests will descend upon Murwillumbah tomorrow, May 6, until Sunday, May 8.

www.tweedvalleyweekly.net.au

A resident, whose name has been withheld by The Weekly, saw a brindle staffy being viciously kicked and abused by its owner last week, in what many residents have flagged as an “ongoing issue” of animal abuse in the region.

“Very upsetting to see a case of animal cruelty this morning,” the post on social media reads.

“A scruffy looking man in his 40s with longish scraggly hair kicking his cowering dog (possibly a brindle staffy but couldn’t be sure).”

The person who posted the comment said a woman attempted to intervene in the alleged beating of the dog only to be told off.

“A person told him to stop but he spewed obscenities at her and kicked the poor dog again to make his point,” the post reads.

“This man obviously has some issues, but regardless animal cruelty is never justified.”

“I can only hope someone knows who he is and reports him to the RSPCA as soon as possible as this dog deserves some love and kindness.”

Reports have since been made to the RSPCA, however the animal protection agency said it was difficult to prosecute without knowing who the offender was and their address.

Residents have made a plea for the public to help track down the alleged offender.

Blockages could be to blame at Banora

Easy-to-understand legal advice that will help to make you and business smarter.

Our goal is to make your personal business and commercial business work smarter.

BANORA POINT resident George Chapman has raised concerns over what he believes was illegal dumping of green waste in a waterway adjacent to Palm Lakes Resort.

While Mr Chapman said he witnessed the dumping several years ago he believes the green waste is clogging a vital section of the waterway and impeding water flow.

Mr Chapman spoke with The Weekly to express his worries about what he regards as a clogging of the waterways around Banora Point.

“It’s this clogging and dumped green waste that’s backing up the system and starving out the fish,” he said.

“I witnessed the council employees dump that green waste almost two years ago and you can still see it there today and it’s backing up the system.”

Mr Chapman has joined several other Banora Point residents demanding a cleanup of key areas around the waterway, which many residents regard as being in “woeful condition”.

In response to Mr Chapman’s concerns a spokesperson for council said it “has no record of receiving a complaint on this matter.”

“Council Maintenance staff will attend

the area and address any significant blockages. There have been no reports of significant stormwater problems or local flooding due to obstructions in this section of drain,” the council statement reads.

The Weekly also questioned the council’s policy for employees cleaning up green waste.

“There is no information to confirm it was Council staff. Many businesses and organisations have high visibility uniforms similar to the uniforms worn by Council staff, which often results in mistaken identity. Further, it is highly unlikely Council staff would dispose of green waste in this way. Council has a process of disposing of all green waste through proper waste management and resource reuse procedures, depending on the nature of the waste. Council is subject to the same laws regarding illegal dumping as other residents and businesses,” the statement reads.

“The drainage will be inspected and rectified as required, as above. The fence is the responsibility of the adjoining property owner (St Joseph’s College) to repair.”

Thursday May 5, 2016

Family finds their feet after 30 years INTERNATIONAL CHILD recovery expert Colin Chapman was visiting Banora Point last week and caught up with The Weekly for an exclusive interview following the global debate over a botched abduction of two children in Beirut last month.

each recovery,” he said.

Col was contacted by 60 Minutes crews from the Nine network about the contract for the job in Lebanon.

“Our price was higher and our approach was different,” he said.

Upon first impressions Col appears like your average Aussie dad. He’s got two daughters and lives a happy life on the Sunshine Coast. But ask him about his work-life and you will soon discover a far more mysterious man whose expertise extend into the often murky world of child recovery.

Col has almost 25 years’ experience as a private investigator and is considered one of the best child recovery experts in the world today.

He shared his views with The Weekly over the attempted abduction and involvement of a 60 Minutes crew including presenter Tara Brown employed by the Nine network. The abduction aimed to snatch Sally Faulkner’s two children in Beirut.

Col spoke to The Weekly at Banora Point where his father George Chapman lives. George and Col were reacquainted on Thursday, April 28, after more than 30 years apart due to differences.

“As my two girls got older they started asking about their grandad and they wanted to meet him,” Col said.

“I wanted to see him again and it didn’t feel right for the girls to miss out on meeting their grandfather - so we’ve put a lot of the past behind us.”

Col leads an extraordinary life, often picking up the pieces for desperate parents when a marriage has broken down and one of the spouses evades the country with their child or children. Col said in many cases the breakups were due to cultural reasons.

“A parent can come home to find the kids are gone and wife or husband has taken them back to Cambodia or Lebanon,” he said.

It’s at this point they turn to people like Col and his expert team for their connections, contacts and surveillance abilities. However, unlike other child recovery agencies of which there are only a handful, Col and his team will only accept jobs where an Australian court order is in place.

“These operations take hundreds of hours of phone conversations and while there are cases where you can be opportunistic, there’s also cases where the kids have guards and minders and their surveillance is top notch,” he said.

Col said carrying out this task was not something you could easily film and later watch unfold on television.

“Cameras and the media draw attention and the demands for content interfered with the task that was always going to fail. We work completely within the rules of the court, if the family return to Australia and the father, for example, comes back too – then the court might rule the father can see the children and the mother would need to comply – we don’t attack anyone, we never engage in violence, we use simple blocking techniques and distractions that aid in

Col said the job failed from the start through bad planning and not having a full understanding of the surroundings.

The man behind the Beirut abduction attempt was Child Abduction Recovery International (CARI) boss and former Australian solider Adam Whittington. Col said the plan had its flaws from the beginning as the CARI team attempted to bring home the two Australian children of Brisbane mother Sally Faulkner.

Mr Whittington along with Lebanese security guards remain behind bars in Lebanon and Mr Whittington applied for bail this week.

“The entire film crew, security and the people involved with taking the children were staying in the same hotel, they also made a huge mistake when they pushed the elderly woman aside accompanying the children, but the whole thing was wrong,” he said.

Col said the team on the job should have set clearer boundaries for the media and approached the job with a lot more information and preparation.

“The press wants the story. They’re going to push for

Going grant fishing NATIONALS MEMBER for Lismore Thomas George is urging recreational fishing clubs across the region to apply for grants to help run fishing activities on the second annual Go Fishing day, to be held on October 16 2016.

“There are currently around 850,000 people who love wetting a line each year in NSW and Go Fishing Day provides another opportunity to promote fishing as an enjoyable part of our lifestyle,” Mr George said.

“Fishing clubs are encouraged to apply for grants of up to $2,000 to run fishing activities on Go Fishing Day, such as casting and fishing workshops, information sessions and so on.

“Activities to restore fish habitat on the day are also eligible, such as replanting river and creek banks.”

The inaugural NSW Fishing Day was held last December and was a huge success. The 2016 Go Fishing NSW Day will also coincide with the first– ever National Fishing Day being coordinated by the Australian Fishing Trade Association.

For more information or to get involved, fishing clubs can fill out the application form, which is available at www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries.

cameras rolling and setting up the best shots and angles, however, the team should never had allowed this sort of staged abduction-style attempt, with a paper trail a mile long to the hotel and I believe that even included the boat to get away,” he said.

Before he began recovering children from all around the world, Col was a private investigator and behind many of the biggest television programs in Australia. Col was often the one digging up the dirt on hundreds of tabloid stories including cases of oil dumping. He was only ever employed under contract with networks often exclusively.

“Each ratings point is worth so much to the networks that they paid for me to work exclusively on stories.

The networks use private firms like ours for hundreds of stories,” Col and his father George have both led interesting lives with George arriving in Australia from England in 1961. In a strange irony, George left England with his four children and a new partner with her children to Australia. It was something deeply entrenched in Col’s life and partly why he had such a lengthy separation from his father.

“I had searched for years to try and track down another son I had in England,” George said.

“He was adopted and I never saw him. After I got into contact with Col again recently, he found him within 36 hours.”

“It was a tough 36 hours though,” Col interjects.

“I needed to get some advice from local UK police after he’d moved and later found out he’d been holidaying near the Sunshine Coast for years.”

The family’s lost son and brother is believed to be arranging his next visit this year. Meanwhile it seems the child abduction business is booming.

“I’ve got a list of at least 14 clients, the phone never stops,” he said.

Australia has one of the highest rates of international child abductions in the world with between 250 and 300 children annually snatched by a parent who then flees the country.

The high number is in part because parental abduction is not a crime in Australia, whereas in the US and UK it is.

It’s not a criminal offence to remove a child from Australia if there are no court proceedings or orders preventing it.

So there’s no surprise these agencies exist, but the methods of retrieval remain a sensitive topic.

Budget praise and backlash from across the Tweed IT’S BUDGET week and politicians and the

media have been in a frenzy producing reports and breaking down the finer details of what could shape Australia’s financial future.

Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot MP has condemned Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and the Nationals’ 2016 Budget, labelling it “harsh” on vital services.

“It puts big business over battlers, gives tax cuts to millionaires and it continues with harsh cuts to vital services like health and education,” she said.

“This is a Budget that puts big business before everyday locals and puts high income earners before families, with tax cuts for millionaires but no tax cuts for locals earning under $80,000.”

Mrs Elliot listed the budget as slashing schools, cuts to Medicare, cuts to families that will increase the cost of living, cuts to higher education, a GP Tax by stealth and tax breaks for banks and multinationals Mrs Elliot said everyday Australian families were the biggest losers in this Budget.

“Individuals who earn the most will get a double tax cut - someone on $1,000,000 will get a $16,715 tax cut while three quarters of Australian taxpayers receive absolutely nothing,” she said.

“The difference between Labor and the National Party is very clear. Labor will put people first, while Malcolm Turnbull and the Nationals only look after very high income earners and big business.”

Meanwhile, Nationals candidate for Richmond Matthew Fraser welcomed what he said was a “fair and deliverable 2016 Federal Budget”.

“When I listened to the Budget, what I heard was tax cuts and incentives for small businesses and hard working families,” Mr Fraser said.

“This budget shows that we as a nation are standing up for the little guy. This budget will ensure that multinationals pay their fair share of tax, the banks pay their fair share for regulating financial misconduct, and that generous superannuation tax concessions for the wealthy are closed off.

Mr Fraser said the budget was a “big win for our area, small businesses will have their tax burden reduced so they can grow, improve and put on more workers”.

“The lifeblood of the Northern Rivers is small business, whether it’s farmers, café owners, or tourism operators.

I see changes in this Budget that will benefit these hardworking locals and their staff,” he said.

“While small business put on more workers, vulnerable young people will be helped to get job-ready under the

Youth Jobs PaTH – Prepare, Trial, Hire.”

However, Greens candidate for the Federal seat of Richmond Dawn Walker said described the Budget as a “massive let-down”.

“The government is pretending it can afford unsustainable and unfair tax cuts for the big end of town by claiming unrealistic levels of economic growth,” Ms Walkers said in a media statement.

“Yet these irresponsible cuts come at the expense of long-term funding for our local schools, hospitals and public services. The government has made life harder for our community by cutting social support, university funding and health services at a time our region can ill afford more cuts.”

Ms Walker said the Turnbull government budget was like “groundhog day” reminiscent of the Abbott government.

“Just like Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull is taking the axe to the young, the old, the sick and the poor while handing out tax cuts to high income earners and big business.”

Ms Walker said it was “shameful” that the Treasurer failed to mention global warming.

“His speech had no plan to deal with the single greatest challenge facing our economy: the transition to clean energy that would power the new economy,” she said.

“The government has failed to see the local jobs of the 21st century in building solar farms and public transport.

Jobs that our young people could take advantage of in our region.”

Grand plans for Imperial Hotel THE NEW owner of the Imperial Hotel, Sam Khalil, has revealed part of his vision to breathe new life into one of Murwillumbah’s most iconic buildings.

Mr Khalil spoke with The Weekly after placing a winning bid of $835,000 to secure the building during its auction on April 21.

Mr Khalil said he was eager to find a suitable tenant for the building first, before he can launch into what could soon become a sizeable remodelling project.

“The vision for the Imperial hotel is to ensure its class and character is respected and maintained, to ensure that the local and tourist demography enjoy the food and accommodation this fine hotel can offer,” he said.

“The short term goals for the Imperial Hotel is to find a suitable tenant that will work closely with us and the community in offering excellent service, for both locals and tourists alike.”

Mr Khalil said he hopes to return the building to some of its grandest days and see it thrive as a local tourism drawcard.

“My hope is to keep the hotel’s natural glory and for it to become a thriving local and tourist destination for everyone,” he said.

While there are many obstacles still to overcome, Mr Khalil said he was looking forward to building on the passion he already had for Murwillumbah.

“I have a connection with the Northern Rivers corridor and I will most certainly acquaint myself with the Tweed Shire Council, together with its demography, historical significance and the local indigenous custodians of the region,” he said.

Mr Khalil is the managing director of Shakra Energy specialising in the solar sector.

“I am a Renewable Energy Developer, working with local contractors and multi-nationals ensuring that Australia is a leader in the Solar Sector,” he said. Read The Weekly for more information on the Imperial Hotel to come

estate consultant in the area for 11 years.

“Our first property in the area was one of the many serene lifestyle properties to be found, on small acreage at Midginbil, where the kids loved growing up before our recent move to the centre of Murwillumbah which is simply one of the best located country feel towns in Australia. “ Paul is one of the very successful team at First National Real Estate Murwillumbah and is always open for business so feel free to give him a call anytime to discuss your real estate needs.

Cabarita Beach Bogangar CONDISERED ONE of the best escapes in Australia is the beautiful seaside towns of Cabarita Beach, Bogangar.

The area is popular with families with the predominant household being couples with children.

The area is surrounded by nature reserves and has some of the most unspoilt beachfront in Australia, that’s still within earshot of Tweed Heads and the Gold Coast.

Cudgen Lake, which was popular with water skiers in the 50s, is now a nature reserve and offers opportunities for kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding.

One of the great attractions to Bogangar in the 1950s was the glass-bottom swimming pool at hotel opposite the surf club. Blokes used to gather, beer in hand, fascinated as the ladies swam just above their heads.

Norries Headland was, at one time, an island with waves sweeping between the rocks and the mainland in bad weather.

At low tide a spit of sand connected the two. The sand miners put in the rock wall that now protects the spit and forms the cove. The actual site of the Aboriginal midden, now signposted on the spit, was actually much further up the embankment to the north. Sand mining was the chief industry of the area from the 1930s to the 1970s. The miners took rutile, zircon, and ilmenite from the beaches and dunes as these were the main source of titanium, a metal used in jet fighters and as a pigment in white paint. Up until 2006, Australia was the world’s leading supplier. Sand mining kept many locals employed during very tough times. There are plenty of reasons to check out Cabarita Beach, Bogangar, for your next home or investment, with a booming coast and strong future of growth for the region.

How to renovate and generate wealth AUSTRALIANS HAVE already spent close to $15 billion on renovating and building residential homes since the beginning of 2016.

One of the key reasons people choose to renovate is to ‘increase property value’, however with the average Australian renovation costing almost $48,000, it can be difficult to guarantee a return on investment.

Zaki Ameer, real estate expert and Founder of Dream Design Property (DDP) says, “Successful renovations can generate considerable amounts of wealth, and the associated risks can be kept relatively low if the strategy

and planning is executed correctly.

Unfortunately, however, many investors and homeowners go about renovating in a way that involves more financial risk than necessary.”

Mr Ameer explains his expert tips for how investors and homeowners can generate wealth from every renovation: 1. Avoid anything structural and stick to existing layouts to keep costs down.

Utilising already existing layouts, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and adopting a well-planned cosmetic renovation equates to a quick home revival with minimised costs. It is very possible to exercise this method and achieve a small lump sum profit margin within only a few

weeks.

2. Know which areas will add the most value.

It’s important to know that the three main areas that increase property values are street appeal, the kitchen and the bathroom. Street appeal is associated with land value in a good location, boycotting major roads and traffic, under flight paths, or close proximity to transport lines.

3. Buy and then renovate at the lower end of the market.

This strategy may appear too ambitious, but there will always be vendors who are desperate to sell, which offers a highspeed, hassle-free opportunity.

www.tweedvalleyweekly.net.au

Even if the house needs a significant amount of renovating, if it is located in a suburb with desirable property values, a significant profit can often be achieved.

4. Time is money so only buy properties which can be cosmetically improved in 3-5 weeks.

It is essential to know the worth of the property after renovations have been completed to determine its profit figure and viability.

Avoid properties that require work that will be expensive and time-consuming, such as stormwater or rewiring.

Instead aim for cosmetic renovations and an all-round sufficient tidy-up.

Twin Towns helps shape outcomes in the lead-up to the NDIS Shaping Outcomes has received a $40,000 helping hand from Twin Towns to fund two important upcoming projects at the busy Tweed Heads Centre, which provides support for families and children with disabilities and developmental delays.

Ava Carlin

Ava and Ellie to the rescue Ava Carlin and Ellie Johns may be only 13 years old and four feet something tall, but the two girls performed a surf rescue recently that was a giant feat, and most likely, say senior lifeguards, “a lifesaving effort” for the two men in trouble.

The Board of Twin Towns Community Foundation last month approved a donation of $20,000 to Shaping Outcomes for their ‘First Steps NDIS Program’.

What began as just a regular day at the beach for friends Ava, a Tweed Heads & Coolangatta Surf Club nipper and Ellie, an under-14 from Coolangatta Surf Club, ended up with the pint-sized friends paddling to the rescue of two men, believed to be in their late 20s, who had been swept out in rough conditions off Greenmount beach.

The First Steps program is designed to ensure families who will access the new National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which will be introduced on the Tweed in mid-2017, have the information and resources required to map out their child’s needs to gain maximal funding and achieve the best possible outcome.

Executive Officer of Shaping Outcomes, Jan Cronly, said the NDIS is the largest healthcare reform since Medicare.

“Whilst it will certainly bring improvements and benefits for families of children with disabilities, it will also bring significant change, and along with this, a lot of uncertainty and fear.

“It may seem like a distant date in the future, but the work we do now with families will have an enormous impact on their ability to transition to this new model successfully and gain optimal supports.

“Our families will receive oneon-one time with a Key Worker Specialist to guide them through the process and develop a personalised and comprehensive plan to help them transition successfully to NDIS. “This funding from Twin Towns will

Ellie Johns

Walking along the beach about to go for a paddle on a club rescue board, Ava and Ellie spotted the pair outside the patrolled area with their hands up and heard their calls for help. The girls’ years of training on the beaches kicked in and they immediately sprang to action, jumping on the board and racing out to their rescue.

Amber Thorley and Jan Cronly from Shaping Outcomes are excited to now have Twin Towns’ funding for two new projects.

allow us to offer this program to 70 local families in 2016.”

Another $20,000 from Twin Towns ClubGRANTS will fund Shaping Outcome’s ‘Family Support Project’, which will allow them to take at least 20 local children with disabilities or developmental delays off their waitlist.

The funds will enable a Key Worker Specialist from Shaping Outcomes to address the child’s immediate needs and coordinate the services they require.

Jan Cronly said Twin Towns and its Community Foundation are incredibly generous and community-minded.

“Twin Towns has demonstrated these values by providing much

needed funding and support to community organisations such as Shaping Outcomes for the past 30 years.

“Through their financial support and other vital work, Twin Towns has changed the face of the Tweed community.”

“Without them, many organisations like Shaping Outcomes would not exist or be able to provide the level of services currently offered.”

This year, many more community organisations will benefit from Twin Towns ClubGRANTS and Twin Towns Community Foundation, with donations expected to exceed $1,000,000 in 2016.

“We put the first guy on the back of the board and then paddled out to the second, who had been swept further out, and got him on the board as well.

“We held onto the handles and swam them back to the sandbank, where the lifeguards came out and helped us.

“They were really struggling and one of them was coughing up a lot of water,” said Ava. Both men were shaken but okay after the ordeal and incredibly lucky Ava and Ellie had the skills required, at such a young age, to ensure they made it safely to shore.

CLUBNEWS www.twintowns.com.au BOARD CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

2016 Annual General Meeting The Twin Towns Clubs and Resorts 59th Annual General Meeting will be held on 10 May at 7pm in the Showroom. Hard to believe twelve months have passed and we now ask members to again receive the Board Report, Financial Statements for the year ended 31 of December 2015, and the reports by Directors and Auditors thereon.

This year is an election year when directors vacate their positions and ask members to select nine directors for the next two years, remembering that most sitting directors are seeking re-election.

Nominations were open to both male and female candidates as long as they fulfil the constitutional requirements of Twin Towns Services Club. Attracting qualified ladies to nominate for positions as directors to represent our members, however, is certainly not as easy as it sounds with no ladies electing to offer themselves as candidates.

At the Annual General Meeting there will be 11 nominations from candidates for nine positions. At the conclusion of the AGM and once the elections are completed, the nine successful directors will adjourn to the boardroom to elect the Chairperson and Deputy

Chairperson. Once a decision has been made, the General Manager will announce to members who will take up the positions of Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson for the ensuing two years.

Dr Peter Yaxley recently resigned from his directorship at Twin Towns (see notes) and another past long serving director, Deputy Board Chairman and Life Member Mr Vic Faley chose to withdraw his nomination, bringing nominations back to a total of 11 for nine board positions.

In 2012, the NSW Government changed the Registered Clubs Act to mandate director numbers in all clubs in NSW to a maximum of nine by 1 January 2017.

Twin Towns Board took a proactive approach and immediately set about asking members to approve a director reduction of three directors by Notice of Motion at our 2013 AGM; to approve a reduction of three directors in 2014; and again by three directors in 2016 to achieve the mandatory total of nine directors in accordance with the Act. Disappointing as it may seem, long term directors Leigh Bradley, Ron Lewis, Darryl Pollett and Vic

Faley chose to retire or resign some years earlier to make way for a new generation of qualified candidates to continue the great Twin Towns tradition and to follow their previous years of tireless work ethic, due diligence and good governance practices during their term in office as a result of these changes to the Registered Clubs Act. Director Dr Peter Yaxley resigns Due to the changes in the Registered Clubs Act, Peter’s increased business interests resulted in his decision to resign to lessen the burden of reduction on fellow directors after almost 10 years of service to members of Twin Towns Clubs and Resorts Board.

During his ten year tenure Peter served on many of the Twin Towns Committees offering his ideas, medical perspectives and vast experiences on many board strategies for the benefit of members.

changes to the Corporations Act. Members were informed the cost to produce our Annual Report and notices including the mailout was $68,000, apart from the cost of Twin Towns’ staff resources.

Recently Peter married International songstress Tracy Hitchings who was lead singer of UK Rock Band Landmarq and with Peter’s assistance, is producing a solo album while Peter works on a publishing project along with planning for his next film.

The presentation included the expenditure covering repairs and maintenance at Club Banora along with recently completed refurbishments at Twin Towns Juniors.

All of us at Twin Towns wish Peter and Tracy all the very best for their future while Peter’s colourful humour, enthusiasm and unique attitude to life will be missed.

Once Peter’s expanding business interests and work load settles down, he insists “He will be back”.

Consultative Committee Meeting

Peter’s expanding medical services at this time required his attention, allowing extra time to follow his other extraordinary business and personal interests.

Most importantly, it will allow more time to service his patients at the Banora Central Shopping Centre Medical Clinic and his own Pacific Health Medical Centre at Pacific Pines.

Recently 90 or so Internal Club committee members who volunteer their time and expertise to manage the successful running of Twin Towns eighteen Internal Sporting and Social Clubs met. They were given a quarterly update from management and directors at Club Banora to show how the Twin Towns Clubs and Resort are trading and what is planned for the immediate future. The meeting provided transparency and explained the benefits of capital works and general maintenance works being undertaken.

Peter has an array of skills including a registered film scriptwriter and independent film maker resulting in Peter writing, producing and directing his own successful motion picture ‘Unearthed’ featuring

First item on the agenda was the Twin Towns Services Club Annual General Meeting agenda including elections, changes to Twin Towns Constitution to bring our constitution up to date generally and to conform with

Club Banora continues to look at environmentally cost-effective machinery replacing old with new to provide members with the best most comfortable club facilities.

The furniture replacement and planned renovations to the washrooms and expanded dining facilities was portrayed to members with a slide presentation, estimated cost $750,000, along with the current shade sails in the pool at a cost of $50,000 to help reduce the risk of sun exposure to members and children using the Oasis Pools complex.

Last but not least, committee members were advised that a new best practice Internal Club Handbook had been made available for constructive comment and following input from all committees, a new handbook will be finalised based on a ‘how to run your club ready reckoner’ for all Internal Clubs.

The next important update will be Internal Club Constitutions when and where required.

Good health and I look forward to catching up at our Annual General Meeting and around our Clubs and Resort.

Twin Towns ladies social bowling club The Twin Towns social bowling club was formed in 1979 and was held on each Friday at Cabarita Bowls Club. New members were coached at Coolangatta Bowls Club to allow them to play on affiliated greens.

The late Mr Mick Winders suggested that the koala be our club badge, as the area is a koala habitat. At our next meeting the badge was approved as well as our hats with the green band which is still part of our uniform today.

The Club became affiliated in 1984 with 560 members and the first day of bowling was Melbourne Cup Day 1984. The headquarters was the ‘Tin Shed’ where duties and functions were held. The Christmas party was the first function held with 220 members attending. The move to the Clubhouse was in 1986.

The Ladies bowls has been competing in the GCTDLBA events since 1985. The club has competed in this event and has won 18 pennant flags. The last win was 5th division in 2015.

The games director is very busy at present with championships and competitions in 2016 commencing. We have welcomed many new members recently and it

was pleasing to see several ladies interested to be on the committee.

The club has had many members representing the Twin Towns Ladies Bowls on the GCTDLBA committee including Peg Clement, Hilary Schmidt, Carmel Maloney, Kath Poulson, Janne Fraser and Yvonne McKee. Ladies bowls events that will be held this year are 3 June Club’s 32nd Birthday, 24 June Koala Triples, 8 July Pennants, 16 August Patron’s Day, 20 September Past Presidents Day, 25 November Presentation Day and 16 December Christmas break-up.

Our most important event coming up is the Bowls Queensland District Sides on 4 and 7 May. The event is played over three days and will involve morning tea and lunch for the competitors.

Our parent body, Twin Towns Services Club and the administration staff at Club Banora, have been supportive with the organisation of this event. We are hoping it will bring many spectators to the club.

Table Tennis a workout for the brain Club Banora’s new outdoor table tennis tables have been given a workout over the past month, with some serious, hard fought matches, the occasional muttered profanity, and some hilariously entertaining double-acts bringing laughter to the sunny surrounds at the Club.

What many don’t know is that table tennis, even for the novice, is more than just a ‘hit and giggle’.

Whilst the sport is well-known for boosting aerobic fitness, according to the IHRSA (International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association), table tennis is also the world’s best brain sport.

The IHRSA reports on a fascinating brain imaging study from Japan that found that just 10 minutes of table tennis increases activity in the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum.

Soren Manssen, sharpening up his reflexes on the outdoor table tennis table at Club Banora

and reflexes (cerebellum and parietal lobes). Players have to focus (prefrontal cortex) so they can track the ball through space (parietal lobes and occipital lobes), figure out spins (parietal lobes and occipital lobes) and plan shots and strategies (prefrontal cortex and cerebellum).

Then comes the hard part.

Following through and executing those tactics successfully (prefrontal cortex and cerebellum), while staying calm so you don't get too nervous on game point (basal ganglia).

And you can't dwell on the point you blew a few minutes ago (anterior cingulate gyrus) or blow

your top when you make a mistake (temporal lobes).

An awful lot of thinking, planning, and strategising goes on around the table tennis tables, all of which is helping players keep the grey matter active.

Don’t forget to add a generous dose of laughter to your table tennis match. Laughter has been known to lower blood pressure, reduce stress hormones, increase muscle flexion and boost the immune function.

Get cracking! There are two outdoor tables at Club Banora and bats and balls are available from the bar.

It's like aerobic chess, they say; great for hand-eye coordination

Todd McKenney

Reckon you’ve seen Todd McKenney sing the songs of Peter Allen? Think again.

McKenney also saw Allen perform later in his career – at Twin Towns.

“It’s never the same show,” said McKenney, the much loved Aussie singer made the role of Allen his own in the hit stage musical The Boy From Oz.

“It was quite a show. I remember the audience was so excited and the mood was good before the show had even started,” he said.

“It varies, you know, depending on the audience and how they respond. There have been raucous shows and gentler shows. I always encourage those in the audience to talk back.

It keeps things conversational while I tell my stories.”

McKenney had the blessing of the Allen family to play the role in the musical that was embraced by Australian audiences in the late 1990s.

“When I was asked to play the role, I didn’t say yes straight away,’’ said McKenney.

“I didn’t want to ruin my love of Peter Allen by trying to be him.

When his family found out, they embraced me. His mother said if anyone does The Boy from Oz it should be you. She gave me Peter’s shirts to wear to the audition.”

“Audiences in general get very relaxed in a club environment.

They have a few drinks and they’re there to have a good time. Half the work is done, before a show gets started.”

That’s what McKenney looks forward to when he performs at Twin Towns this month. The trip north serves a dual purpose. He will also use his visit call in on his mother, a retired dance teacher who lives on the Gold Coast.

Moving Pictures

Seminal Sydney rock band Moving Pictures will land at Twin Towns on 20 May to perform one of a string of shows celebrating the 35th anniversary of the release of the band’s multi-platinum debut album Days of Innocence.

Single at the 1982 Countdown Music Awards and was the second highest selling single in Australia that year behind Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger. It also spent 26 weeks in the US Billboard Top 40 charts climbing as high as No. 19.

Epitomising the 1980s Australian rock sound, the band’s No. 1 debut album Days of Innocence delivered singles like Bustin’ Loose and the oft-covered What About Me?

Italian Anna Oxa recorded a 1983 version in her native language called Senza Di Me. It was also a hit for the first Australian Idol runnerup Shannon Noll who released the song on his 2003 debut album That’s What I’m Talking About.

What About Me?, the band’s first No. 1 single, remained in the Australian charts for six consecutive weeks, won Best

Moving Pictures released two more albums, Matinee and The Last Picture Show before parting

ways in 1987.

A non-album single, Never, was used in two film soundtracks – 1984’s Footloose and 2007’s Hotrod.

In 2011, members including founders Alex Smith and Garry Frost reformed for the 30th anniversary Days of Innocence tour.

The band has since managed to tour almost every year and last year (2015) recorded the album Picture This, featuring acoustic versions of all the hits.

Moving Pictures play Twin Towns Showroom on Friday 20 May at 8.30pm. Tickets $40.

“I know the streets of the Gold Coast as well as I know the streets of Sydney. It feels like home,” he said.

Todd McKenney Sings Peter Allen in the Twin Towns Showroom on Saturday 21 May at 8.30pm. Tickets $60.

McKenney recalls his first meeting with Allen.

“I was living in a flat in Bondi and a friend downstairs knew I was a fan. He invited Peter over for a barbecue then called and said come join us in the backyard. Peter invited me to see him perform in a show the next night.”

and followed up with tours of the UK, South Africa and New Zealand.

A 29-gig Australian tour lands at Twin Towns on 22 May.

“A friend of ours, P J Murrihy, wrote this song and it really is a song for our audiences – those people who’ve been supporting us for the last 40 years. We owe it all to them,” Mick Foster said during a recent interview with UK newspaper the Dorset Echo.

The pair have been performing their brand of easy listening Irish songs with accompaniment on traditional instruments since the mid-1970s. Fans who attend the Twin Towns gig can expect to hear hits from a back catalogue of 30 albums and such hits as The Ramble of Spring and A Bunch of Thyme.

Foster and his old friend Tony Allen released Celebrations in October

The duo’s first international hit Maggie was a reworking of a love song penned in the 1800s by a Scottish schoolteacher living in Canada and later recorded by Irish tenor John McCormack in 1919.

Foster & Allen’s 1993 album By Request knocked boyband Take That from the No. 1 spot in the UK charts.

The Purple Drippers

The Shuffle Boys

Twin Towns rocks on in June Twin Towns world-class showroom will become Dance HQ for two big nights of live rock’n’roll, swing and rockabilly action during the main weekend of entertainment at Cooly Rocks On. Dancers can shake, rattle and roll their way across the massive 10 x 14m dancefloor at Twin Towns Rocks On’s marathon six-and-a -half hour dance sessions on Friday 10 June and Saturday 11 June from 6pm.

Sydney rock’n’roll four-piece The Shuffle Boys and Sunshine Coast rockabilly trio The Purple Drippers will provide the soundtracks and are already tweaking songlists designed to fill two big sets of three-plus hours each.

The Shuffle Boys, made up of Ricky Francisco on drums, Gavin Hamilton on keyboards, Antonio Thompson on bass and Bob Smyth on rhythm guitar, make their

first Cooly Rocks On appearance though they were regulars of the festival when it was known as Wintersun.

“We came up for seven years in eight with just one year off – that was either 2007 or 2008,” said Ricky.

“It’s quite a show you put on there. I’m excited to be heading up for Cooly Rocks On and I know the rest of the boys are too.”

“We might open a set with something like I Might by Shakin’ Stevens – something that’s quick but not too quick – and finish with our version of Midnight Special, which is all our own. No one does that song the way we do it.

“In between we’ll do all sorts of tracks – some by people you might know like Elvis Presley, and others like Back to the Track, a song that sometimes goes by the fantastic

name The Choo Choo Boogie.”

Rockabilly trio The Purple Drippers hail from the Sunshine Coast. The trio of musicians play up-tempo rock’n’roll dance hits made famous by artists like Eddie Cochran, Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins.

Twin Towns Rocks On is a highlight of Cooly Rocks On program and as popular with those who love to watch as those who love to dance.

VIP tickets ($25) give audiences a table alongside the dancefloor.

General entry ($15) buys seating in the tiered section of the showroom. Entry includes a drink from the Stars Bar. Twin Towns Rocks On: Friday 10 and Saturday 11 June from 6pm, $15-$25. For tickets contact the Show Bookings Office on 1800 014 014 or go to www. twintowns.com.au

The Shuffle Boys are veterans of a live music scene that caters to dance fans with a songlist that draw from genres that include rock’n’roll, swing, Latin and love songs.

“The idea is to keep people on the dancefloor. We’ll give them something quick then give them something to cuddle too while they catch their breath before we move things on again,” said drummer Ricky.

Ava and Ellie to the rescue from page 1 Ava, a fourth generation Tweed Heads & Coolangatta Surf Club member, has a message for people heading to the beach, and it’s a simple one: “Stay between the flags so lifeguards know if you’re in trouble.”

Recently, Twin Towns donated $5,000 from Twin Towns ClubGRANTS to Tweed Heads & Coolangatta Surf Club to purchase six brand new nipper training boards, which are used by Ava and other nippers for training and competition.

Rainbow Bay, Coolangatta and Kirra Surf Club nippers were also recipients of financial assistance from Twin Towns.

Chair of the Twin Towns Donations Committee and Deputy Chair of Twin Towns, Brian Brown, said he and the Board were elated to hear about the girls’ rescue efforts.

“Stories such as this reinforce the reasoning behind our

long-term commitment to helping our local surf clubs, especially the nippers.

“On behalf of the Board, I congratulate Ava and Ellie and we hope our donation ensures many more young nippers have the opportunity to learn invaluable surf lifesaving skills on these boards in the future.

“Members should be proud to see these kids training on boards with the Twin Towns logo, as donations from ClubGRANTS are made on behalf of our members.

“Without our members, we would not be able to support fantastic and worthwhile local community organisations such as our surf clubs,” said Brian.

Over the past year, around 100 local community organisations shared in over a million dollars in financial and in-kind support from Twin Towns ClubGRANTS.

Gold for TT’S Chef George at Culinary Awards Twin Towns Banquet Chef George Jefferies won gold at the first Australian Culinary Challenge Regional Competition staged in conjunction with industry expo Fine Foods Queensland at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre last month.

Jefferies, 24, had an hour to prepare his competition dish Roasted spinach-filled lamb cutlet, buttered vegetables, two purees of citrus pea and parsnip, and port and cranberry jus.

George said he never expected to win but was sure the tips and advice offered by Executive Chef Kim Chilcott helped him bring home the Gold.

“Kim’s judged competitions like this in the past and gave me an idea of what the judges might be looking for and what to expect,” said George.

“It was a few days before we found out the results, but the comments I took away with me on the day were about how calm I’d looked through it all,” said George.

George enjoys the competition atmosphere and hopes his latest win won’t be the last.

“It’s just completely different. I like to think it keeps me on my toes.”

Food and Beverage Manager Paul Stewart said he wasn’t surprised George won Gold at the Awards.

“George is one of the talented team of ‘young guns’ at Twin Towns that are taking the Club’s banquets and weddings menus to an exciting new level.

“Their creativity and imaginations are continually fuelled by the abundance of quality ingredients and fresh produce they have available in our large and wellstocked kitchens.

“We encourage our chefs to experiment with new dishes and styles of cooking. Whatever they dream, they can experiment, create and excel,” said Paul.

Paul added that many young local chefs aspire to work at Twin Towns because of the opportunities it presents.

“Being mentored by one of Australia’s most highly regarded chefs, Kim Chilcott, and working in an environment that fosters a culture of creativity. It ticks all the boxes for up-and-coming chefs.

“But we only take the best and it’s chefs like George who are setting the bar high for banquet and event catering at Twin Towns,” said Paul.

Executive Chef Kim Chilcott Teacher, trainer, trekker For as long as he remembers, second generation chef Kim Chilcott has lived and breathed the sights, sounds and aromas of a restaurant kitchen - the smoke and sputter of sizzling pans, the flames that fire the perfect steak and the soothing whiff of freshly baked bread in the oven.

As a 10-year-old, Kim was suited up in a jacket and tie, waiting tables at his father's well- known local restaurants from years gone by - the Tuckerbox in Coolangatta and popular Tweed Heads function venue, Desmonds.

Kim completed his apprenticeship at the family business, then headed to London at the age of 19, landing a dream job at Claridges, one of the world’s best 5-star luxury hotels.

George Jefferies and his award-winning dish which will be included on the Club's banquet menu.

Twin Towns ranked in Top 5 in ABIA Awards At the recent Australian Bridal Industry Awards (ABIA), Twin Towns Clubs & Resorts was named in the top five Resort Reception Centres in Australia.

Entries in the Awards are judged on feedback from brides who have held their weddings at the venue. Brides rate the business out of 100 points in a range of criterion including quality of product, quality of service, attitude of staff and value for money.

Twin Towns Food & Beverage Manager Paul Stewart said, “To be named in the Top 5 in Australia is a huge accolade for Twin Towns and its Events Team and testament to their ability to provide the highest quality of food and service at wedding receptions.”

He returned to the Gold Coast in 1979 and became Executive Chef at Twin Towns, a role he continued for 8 years.

From 1986-1994, Kim was a self-employed private contract caterer, before spending three years as Chef Apprentice Master at Jupiter's Hotel and Casino.

This was followed by a decade as owner and Executive Chef of the popular Montego's Restaurant in Main Beach, once described by a critic as ‘A perfect taste of Tedder’.

Throughout this time, Kim's thorough understanding of food costing kept his businesses financially successful, whilst others around him struggled.

His return to Twin Towns in 2008, Kim says, “Was by pure accident”.

“I had recently sold my last restaurant was working as manager at another Gold Coast restaurant.

“I was having a drink at the bar at Twin Towns and got talking to one of the managers at that time.

“When he asked what I was doing, I told him, and he said I don’t suppose you would consider coming back to Twin Towns?

“Well, I have always had a soft spot for Twin Towns and just a month later, I started as Food and Beverage Manger and continued in that role for five years before taking over as Executive Chef in 2013.”

Kim says these days, his work is all about food on a massive scale.

“We have a kitchen brigade of around 65 chefs and assistants, seven restaurants with full production kitchens and serve around 15,000 meals every week at Twin Towns, sometimes more.

“I consider it a real privilege to have been involved in the extensive remodelling and renovation of Twin Towns’ dining outlets over the past seven years and to have been part of the decision-making processes.

“Every job has its challenges – seasonal challenges, staffing challenges…. it’s not all peaches and cream every day of the week.

“We know we can never please everyone but all my chefs try so hard, and I have a great support network with Executive Sous Chef Oliver Mouritz, along with a team of sous chefs responsible for day-today running of each of their outlets.”

Over the years, Kim says one of the most important lessons he has learned is that food is evolving, and nothing stays the same.

Expectations of diners have risen significantly over recent years and people’s tastes are constantly changing.

“We need to change too, and we need to keep getting better.

“The next generation of chefs coming through must be better than us. If they’re not better than us, we’re not teaching them anything,” said Kim. And who better to teach them than this former Gold Coast Chef of the Year, a Culinary Olympics dual gold medallist and Founding and Life Member of the Australian Culinary Federation.

Cooking isn’t Kim’s only passion.

The avid trekker has completed the Kokoda track three times, Hellfire Pass in Thailand, conquered the leech and snake-infested Black Cat Trail in New Guinea, and completed many other gruelling marathon walks around the world.

This month Kim embarks on a 700km adventure across Spain, walking the Camino de Santiago from Saint Jean de Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela, a famous walk featured in the 2012 movie ‘The Way’ starring Martin Sheen.

“When they hear what I am doing, people say to me ‘Why can’t you catch a bus?” laughed Kim. “I say it’s because I’m a little bit crazy and you have to be a little bit crazy to do what I do.”

“When choosing Twin Towns, brides can be confident they have engaged experts in the industry who have earned a strong, national reputation for delivering dream wedding experiences,” said Paul.

Twin Towns’ award-winning chefs and dedicated wedding coordinators work with every bride to design a wedding that suits their theme or budget, from lavish, sit-down banquets to elegant cocktail parties, and everything in between.

FISHING CLUB A mixture of fine weather and cool breezes bought out the members during the second round of the fishing club competition. New

President Rod Davis is leading the charge for the 2016 title. Rod (pictured), a keen beach fisherman is never short of his bag limit when fishing at his secret location off Kingscliff. Rod weighed in a mighty 3.7 kilos of quality tailor and dart. “It was the most fish we’ve ever had at weigh in,” said Rod. More than seven other competitors bought in quality catches with standing room only at the weigh in. The catch of the round was a 40cm pan sized flathead caught by Judy from Tweed Heads. Our next competition will be held on the 21 and 22 May. Twin Towns Fishing Club is always looking for new members. Go to www.twintownsfishingclub.com or call Vice President Ferdi on 0414 812 907.

Simon Cook played a few fillin gigs to help the girls out of a bind and proved to be such a good fit they decided to keep him on full time.

“The thing people say to me, and I love to hear it, is our shows are just like listening to the radio,’’ Maria said.

“You won’t see any of us wearing dresses. That’s not what we’re about,’’ Maria said.

“He was just great with the crowd – people had a bit of a laugh, but he wasn’t phased – and we sounded good, so why not,” said band member Maria Temelkos.

So how, then, did the band get a name like The Frocks?

Adorable alpaca fun for the whole family

Greg and Judy Barlow have been breeding alpacas for the past five years after learning about the animal at a local agricultural show.

They have since setup Kallaroo Alpaca Stud, which is a side project at the Kingscliff Nursery and sells the alpacas to new owners or potential breeders.

The stud farm includes 35 alpacas and the Barlow family are eager to share the benefits of owning and raising alpacas, which are native to South America.

“It’s a free event for the whole family,” Judy said.

“We’re really keen to get as many people along as possible to experience the friendly nature of alpacas, as well as having a browse around the nursery and a free sausage sizzle.”

Tweed Spinners group will also be on hand spinning the alpaca fleece and offering a range of products for sale, as well as activities for kids.

Judy said the benefits of owning alpacas includes their ability to breed easily and the sale of the alpaca’s highly sort after fleece.

“They are very easy to breed, while they also bond easily with cattle, sheep or horses,” Ms Barlow said.

“Their fleece is amazing and doesn’t have the rough edges wool has, which means it can be

worn next to the skin, while it can also be used to make carpet or other fabrics.”

Greg and Judy are now in the process of officially launching the Kallaroo Alpaca Stud, which will allow others to purchase the animals at amazing prices.

“When the alpaca industry first started the prices for these animals was up to $20,000 for a single alpaca, but these days the prices have plummeted to as low as $400 for a land pet and up to $3500 for a show quality animal,” she said.

Greg and Judy got into alpaca breeding after passing off most of the nursery business to their son.

“It was a great move – we’re really enjoying meeting new people in the alpaca industry,” Judy said.

Greg and Judy are not the only ones hosting a special alpaca weekend with Sphinx Rock Alpacas, owned by David and Margot Vincent, also opening their farm to visitors as part of Australian Alpaca Week.

Kallaroo Alpaca Stud is located at the Kingscliff Nursery at 438 Cudgen Road, the alpaca event will open to the public from 10am to 3pm this Saturday, May 7 and Sunday, May 8.

Sphinx Rock Alpaca is located at 3221 Kyogle Road, Mount Burrell, will open at 10am to 4pm on Sunday, May 8, and will offer alpaca feeding, farm walks and waterfall visits.

Look out Bangkok, Husk Distilleries’ gin is coming GIN

Bars and clubs around Bangkok could soon be serving Husk Distillers’ unique gin, which changes colour when tonic or other acid-based drinks are used as mixers.

The announcement comes only eight months after releasing the world-first floral infused gin.

In a statement to The Weekly, Husk Distillers marketing manager Harriet Messenger said the deal was a first step to take Ink Gin to the world.

“This will help build the global reputation of Australian craft distillers as producers of innovative, fine quality spirits,” she said.

“Ink Gin is royal blue in colour, but changes to blush pink when combined with an acidic mixer, such as lemon juice, lime juice or tonic water.

“This unique colour reaction is derived from a post-distillation infusion using petals of an exotic flower. Butterfly Pea, grows across equatorial Asia to the Torres Strait and while it is used in herbal teas and Ayurveda the botanical has never before been used in a spirit.”

Husk founder Paul Messenger said the market first saw the flower used in a traditional iced tea and instantly knew it would be perfect as a leading botanical in a gin.

“We wanted to capture the essence of the flower in a bottle, so we crafted our gin recipe around it,” he said.

“Ink Gin is distilled with 13 botanicals from around the world, with the leading flavours combining juniper, coriander, locally grown north coast lemon myrtle, Tasmanian pepper berry and hand peeled Australian oranges.

“Our botanicals come to us from eight different source countries. We wanted to respect the traditional ginmakers of Europe with elderflower, liquorice, angelica and orris root, and also include some exotics like the Bois Bande, bark from a tree in Trinidad which lends an exotic character and subtle amaretto flavour,” Mr Messenger said.

“But the biggest flavours come from the Australian ‘hero’ botanicals, and the result is an instantly recognisable Australian citrus-heavy gin, that to me tastes like the North Coast of NSW.” Since launching last August, the family business has been carefully ramping up production and is now supplying bars and bottle shops Australia-wide.

The distillery has sold over 1,000 cases of Ink Gin since launching, far exceeding their initial sales forecasts.

“We have to be careful not to overstretch ourselves,” Mr Messenger said.

“We’re a family team, and we do everything – from preparing and crushing the botanicals to bottling and labelling – all by hand.”

Husk Distillery is also undergoing an expansion this year to meet demand.

“With the building of a new, larger distillery planned for this year, they

are now confident they can answer requests from overseas, and expect the jump over the equator to Thailand will be the first of many,” he said.

Husk Distillers have partnered with Smiling Mad Dog, a leading Thai importer of premium craft beer and cider to Thailand, that is confident Ink Gin will stir waves in the bourgeoning cocktail bar scene in Bangkok.

Butterfly Pea flowers grow wild throughout Thailand and they are used in traditional cooking, herbal teas and Ayurveda.

Riverbank works sure up Condong RIVERBANK STABILISATION works are set to begin at Condong this month, which Tweed Shire Council says will enhance amenities for river users.

As contractors prepare to begin earthworks and construction next week, NSW Member for Tweed Geoff Provest joined council officers at the site last week to view the level of erosion and discuss the project's measures to curb ongoing damage to the riverbank.

These works are jointly funded by Tweed Shire Council and Transport for NSW through NSW Boating Now, a NSW Government funding program to support the delivery of 192 Priority Regional Projects identified in the 11 Regional Boating Plans.

Approximately 150 metres of riverbank adjacent to the Condong boat ramp will be strengthened by works using a combination of geotextile bags and a rock wall to stop ongoing erosion.

"Sections of the riverbank protection will include trialling geotextile, as well as the more traditional measure of rock walls," Council's Waterways Program Leader, Tom Alletson, said.

"This approach will improve user access, including the various boat users who utilise that section of the river."

Works are expected to take 10 to 12 weeks and will extend the full length of the foreshore.

"This means some restrictions to public access during the construction period will be unavoidable. However, it is intended the boat ramp and pontoon will remain available for use during the works," Mr Alletson said.

Information about the project and interruptions to access to the riverbank has been provided to nearby residents and works times at the site will be limited to 7am to 4pm to minimise the impact on neighbours.

For further information please contact Council's Waterways Program Leader, Tom Alletson, at talletson@tweed.nsw.gov.au or (02) 6670 2577.

Entert ainment in t he Tweed

Local sounds with Chana Waters THERE ARE a lot of fine musicians in the Tweed and I’d like to talk about some of the great local venues and weekly jam sessions around Murwillumbah this week.

Jam sessions and open mic nights around the valley are an integral part of our community here.

These venues provide musicians with a platform to experience the “live” performance and audience feedback.

These venues provide a space to also share music with strangers and friends and showcase musical skills previously unknown.

For some musicians it’s more about building a network and meeting likeminded people. One thing for sure is that these jam sessions draw out hidden talents - it doesn’t matter what level you are it’s all about having a go.

So here’s a few of the local jams you can check out: The popular Tumbulgum Hotel jams are held every Wednesday night from 6-9pm and hosted by Troy Cox and Ray Catt on alternate weeks.

It’s an intimate space with a great vibe on the banks of the Tweed river.

Bring your instrument and be sure to arrive early to put your name

down. Another popular jam session is on every Sunday from 2-5pm at the Victory Hotel Mooball. Hosted

by Matty Rogers and sponsored

by Tweed Creative studios. Spend your Sunday afternoon, listening or performing at the Sunday Sessions, it’s a fun filled family friendly environment.

The Billinudgel jam is held on the first Sunday of the month from 3pm.

Hosted by Lyn and Grant Davidson.

There’s always a fun crowd there and plenty of guest artists. The hotel has a nice sheltered beer garden and is family friendly.

Last, but surely not least. Tweed Creative studios also hold a jam night. Murwillumbah’s only multi stage, jam session venue. Held on

the first Thursday of the month, from 6pm (Excluding July and August).

Hosted by Myself and studio team members and featuring an open mic stage, Electric Jam Room and an acoustic jam space. This jam session is a one of a kind and highly interactive. Entry by gold coin donation keeps the jam night going.

New jammers are always welcome.

There are so many more jam sessions around the Tweed, Cabarita, Pottsville, Mullumbimby and Byron Bay too many to list here today.

But whether you’re a beginner or experienced musician. Jam sessions are a great way to hone your skills and meet new people. Why not have a go? You could surprise yourself and others - or have a bit of fun.

Sunrise TV crew pick Tweed for cure tour TWEED WILL be showcased to a national audience of over 350,000 viewers when Channel Seven’s Sunrise broadcasts the annual charity event, Tour de Cure, from several different locations across Regional NSW.

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said the broadcast has been secured with the support of the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW. This year, the annual ‘Signature Tour’ cycles through Tweed as over 200 team members travel more than 1500-kilometres from Brisbane to Sydney.

Every day along the route Mark Beretta will be broadcasting the progress live via the Sunrise TV program.

“We are delighted that our beautiful region will be showcased to audiences this week, as part of the 10th anniversary of the Tour de Cure,” Mr Provest said.

“With the Battle of the Border race cycling throughout the Tweed region for a number of years now it’s fantastic to have this special broadcast to attract the attention of potential visitors right around Australia.”

“We look forward to generating even more exposure for our region as a result of this wonderful opportunity, helping to boost the local visitor economy in the weeks and months to come.”

Tour de Cure will see cyclists ride from Brisbane to Sydney from tomorrow (Friday), April 29 to Sunday, May 8 with Sunrise covering six to seven crosses from various locations across the region each morning.

THE CREATIVE team of Michele Thomas, Nick Hanlon and Marlena Basser are putting out a call for performing artists to audition for Cabaret 360, 2016.

The Daughter

W

Inspired by the Ibsen’s play Wild Ducks, the film is the directorial debut of Simon Stone, who had already adapted and modernized the play for the stage. The action is set in a small NSW town struggling to keep its economy alive in times of globalization and stars Geoffrey Rush, Sam Neill, Miranda Otto and the talented upcoming actress Odessa Young (protagonist of another recent film, Looking for Grace) as the ultimate young victim of the mistakes made by the previous generations. The film is one of the most anticipated Australian releases of 2016.

hat do a wealthy widower soon-to-marry again, his son, an old friend and his daughter-inlaw have in common? A big and dark secret that belongs to the past but can potentially destroy the apparently peaceful lives that they have managed to build for themselves. The narrative of the new Australian film THE DAUGHTER revolves around this secret, the basic theme behind it being how far should people go to be truthful to themselves and to their loved ones and the sometimes impossible price to be paid for the truth at all costs.

Cabaret 360 is now in its 8th year and incorporates professional, semi professional and amateur performers from the region showcased in the beautiful Uki Town Hall.

Cabaret 360 delights its enthusiastic audiences with a wide range of performances including local and regional acts; seasoned professional, semi professional and amateur performers and showcases singers, poets, dancers, film makers, comedians and more. All forms of art and entertainment are suitable for this show, but an emphasis is put on strange, unusual, bizarre, out of the box and unusual acts.

This year’s theme of ‘nothing is what it seems’ draws on elements of magic and illusion; characters from sideshow alley; the play between revealing and concealing; and shifting realities, the trick of the eye. The magic of theatre in all it’s mystery will be celebrated this year.

The creative team are looking for acts that would like to join them on this journey of creating a cabaret of the imagination.

Stalls for the event are now sold out and organiser at Gold Coast Design Collective, Kat Creasey said the extravaganza will present top street food vendors from as far away as Brisbane.

“We’re serving up everything from organic burgers to Mexican food and more,” she said.

Destination Tweed CEO Bill Tatchell said the event was the perfect idea to showcase Tweed’s thriving food industry.

“Food is a key part of the tourism sector of the Tweed and food comes in all shapes and sizes,” he said.

The event is one of many food related activities coming to the Tweed including the successful Foodie Fest in 2015.

NRL FOOTY TIPPING COMP

Thursday May 5, 2016

Slippery Eels and Mustangs get up PARRAMATTA.

WOW. I genuinely feel sorry for the club and the players.

the immoral decisions of others. If the board had any moral fibre about them and genuinely cared about the club they would stand down and give the Eels a chance in 2016 as the loss of 12 points will make things extremely difficult to feature in September. They have to go – if you make your bed your lie in it and if you make poor decisions you pay the penalty.

It’s a disappointing situation after the Storm a few years ago – at least the Eels are a chance to play for points.

They have cheated for 5/6 seasons – so they obviously haven’t done it very well but this year they are flying and the die hards were pumped for a massive season but it will be a herculean effort for them to feature.

The consequences had to be big and strong and I feel the NRL have

The devil sure is in the detail and the details their board lodged in their minutes. It is a delicate situation and from my point of view the board members and football members involved must stand down. I agree with Paul Kent from NRL 360 who spoke about denial that have done anything wrong.

At some stage the board have to put their hand up and take the wrap for their poor decisions. This happens in the sporting world, business world and even in our own lives and families. People make poor decisions that effect others and unfortunately the players are being punished due to

done a good job in their enquiries into the matter.

The great Jack Gibson spoke about ‘Winning starts Monday and you need a strong front office’ – poor Jack would be distraught.

How do the Eels bounce back from this I’m not sure, I’d love to see them show resilience and backbone and sneak into that top 8 spot and give it a shake.

Just sort the administration stuff out and let us get to the great spectacle of the 80 mins of footy on the weekend.

Representative weekend is upon us – always a good game. Can’t wait.

Mustangs got on the board against Northern United on the weekend and travel to Kyogle this Sunday to take on the Turkeys.

See you at the Footy.

NRL releases pre-report on Eels AN INVESTIGATION by the NRL’s Integrity Unit has made preliminary findings that since at least 2013 the Parramatta Rugby League Club has been operating a system designed to enable it to exceed the salary cap without detection and give its team an unfair advantage.

The preliminary findings from the investigation include that a series of payments were either hidden from the NRL or misrepresented as suitable for exclusion from the salary cap and that these actions were taken with the knowledge and approval of various club Directors and senior executives.

As a result of these preliminary findings the NRL has today issued the Parramatta club with a breach notice proposing that:

The club will be fined the maximum penalty of $1 million (with $250,000 suspended if the club accelerates the governance reforms recommended

by PWC within a specified time frame) The Parramatta Eels will be docked all competition points accumulated so far this season while their team was in breach of the salary cap. The club will be able to begin accruing points as soon as it makes the necessary changes to comply with the 2016 cap.

The club will be stripped of its Auckland Nines competition title won earlier this year The NRL has also issued notices to three members of the Club’s Board and two members of the Executive requiring them to show cause why their registrations should not be cancelled. They are Chairman Steve Sharp, Deputy Chairman Tom Issa,

Director Peter Serrao, CEO John Boulous and Football Manager Daniel Anderson. The NRL stresses that these are preliminary findings and the club and officials will be given a reasonable time to respond to the proposed penalties. The NRL will only make a final determination on whether the preliminary findings are justified and the proposed penalties once it has considered the responses of the club and the officials.

CEO Todd Greenberg said if the preliminary findings prove to be justified then serious sanctions will be required given the conduct and the club’s history of salary cap contraventions.

“As the governing body, we have a responsibility to act in the interests of the game for the long term,” Mr Greenberg said.

BY “RAIN”

Aries (March 21 - April 19) - Although certain aspects of your life may not be moving as quickly as you’d like, this week still shows promise. Indeed, because of the number of planets currently dancing backward, you’d do best to focus on smaller, more easily manageable projects or break bigger ones into smaller chunks. Friday’s New Moon could be a call to continue your efforts even if only a step at a time.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20) - With Venus newly in your sign, you’ll be ready to explore new social opportunities for pleasure and business Easy does it, though, as you’d be wise to plan first and take special care regarding costs. Romance could be in the air, too, if you’re ready to date and have fun.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20) – With a focus on your spiritual sector, you may be moving through a period of reflection. The New Moon on Friday could bring dazzling insights regarding situations or people that are ready to leave your life. Don’t be too attached to them - let them go!

It’s time to make space for all the new opportunities coming your way.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22) - Your social life looks like it’s moving through a lively, upbeat phase, with Tuesday showing special promise regarding one event. Whether it’s a party or first date, you look set to have a wonderful time. Just be careful about promising more than you can deliver, as the present setup could bring unexpected delays.

Be conservative rather than overly generous in your estimate of what you can do.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)- With the Sun, Mercury, and Venus moving across the top of your chart, this is a good time to take stock and explore fresh possibilities associated with your career and major ambitions. With Friday’s New Moon in this sector, you’ll be well placed to start a new job or contract or enjoy time in the spotlight and make the most of it. Just go easy concerning finances, as the present alignment could see you buying items that, while desirable, may not be necessary.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)- High adventure beckons, so be prepared to move out of your comfort zone and consider broadening your horizons. You may experience such delays on the home front if family responsibilities keep you from doing as much as you’d like.

Even so, small forays into new territory can leave you feeling upbeat.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)- Your sector of secrets, shared expenses, and intimacy is very much in focus this week. Friday’s New Moon can be the perfect opportunity for a fresh start, but you’d be wise not to rush into anything. Wait until Mercury pushes ahead again on May 22. Research your options in the meantime.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) – With Mercury now retrograde in your sector of relating, you’ll have the perfect chance to resolve any niggling issues or disagreements with others. While Friday’s New Moon can be the perfect time to take a relationship to the next level, don’t hurry into anything. Keep the intention uppermost in your mind and see how you feel in a few weeks.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) – Routines could get snarled as Mercury continues its backward dance. See the weeks ahead as an opportunity to experiment with what works for you. With a number of planets now retrograde, reviewing your progress can be helpful in others areas of life, too.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) – Pleasure plans come to the fore as you and your sweetheart, love interest, or perhaps family and children come together in the spirit of fun and adventure. Cultural activities can also bring a lot of enjoyment your way. If you’re eager to increase your musical or artistic knowledge, this is the time to do it.

With Neptune prominent, be careful what you promise and to whom.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) - You’ll be ready to take time off in the coming weeks, and the coming days are no exception.

And with the New Moon in this same sector on Friday, you might feel motivated to give your place a makeover or clear out the clutter. If you have items to sell, you could make some money, too.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20) - As Mercury continues retrograde in your sector of speech and mind, make sure to back up important files on your computer and put vital documents in a safe place. Enjoy the opportunity to reunite with old friends or spend time with family members you haven’t seen in a while. Watch out for mixed signals in relationships, too.

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!

Male charged over serious assault – Murwillumbah

About 11.30pm Thursday, March 24 a 44-year-old male was allegedly seriously assaulted at the Riverview Hotel, Murwillumbah. The victim was conveyed to hospital and subsequently required surgery to facial injuries. A number of inquiries were made by Police since that date and as a result a 21-year-old Murwillumbah male was arrested on Kyogle Road Uki about 4pm Saturday 30 April 2016. The male was identified by police conducting RBT at that location and placed under arrest. He was conveyed to the Tweed Heads Police Station where he was charged with Affray and Recklessly Cause Grievous Bodily Harm. He was refused Bail by Police to appear at Tweed Heads Bail Court on 1 May 2016. The accused has subsequently been granted Conditional Bail to appear at Murwillumbah Local Court.

HAZMAT Incident – Pottsville About 1am Saturday 30 April 2016 emergency services were called to a

Nursing Home at Ballina Street Pottsville after a strong smell of LPG was detected by staff from the facility. NSW Fire and rescue including Hazmat crew attended and it was established there was a small leak in one of the LPG lines at the rear of the premises. The leak was isolated and repaired. Due to the minor nature of the leak there was no need for any evacuation of the facility or nearby residents. Police from Tweed/Byron Local Area Command, NSW Ambulance Service, NSW Fire and Rescue including Hazmat Unit, NSW Rural Fire Brigade all in attendance.

Male Charged Drugs Mullumbimby On Saturday 30 April 2016 a 52-year-old male from Byron Bay was stopped by Police on Burringbar Street Mullumbimby as he was riding a pushbike along the footpath in the dark without a helmet or lights. A subsequent search of the male’s property located a number of bags of green vegetable matter which police will allege is cannabis.

The cannabis was seized and the male was issued a Field Court Attendance Notice to appear at Mullumbimby Local Court on 23 May 2016.

BOWLS NOTES

A CULMINATION of top quality bowlers, coupled

with a high standard of bowling from all contestants in the T.B.D.W.B.A.

Open and Senior Fours Championships conducted at Kingscliff last week made for a wonderful two day tournament for all those involved.

In many instances scores certainly did not reflect just how close games were. Semi final one in the Open Fours and Kingscliff top guns, Sandra Akers (Skip), Judy Munn, Di James and Di Jones, were duelling with Cabarita’s Robyn Wickbold (Skip), Pat Moore, Robyn Creedon and Rhonda Gleeson. Team Akers opened the score card and had their hands full holding off a strong challenging Caba team. However, with the score at 16-16 at the completion of the sixteenth end, the Kingscliff girls then picked up a five and held their opposition at bay for the remaining ends to carry on and win the game. Pottsville’s Coral Withers (Skip), Tracie Gilligan, Trish Pollard and Jan Richards took the early lead in their semi final against Cabarita’s Michelle Freeman (Skip), Sue Goode, Kate Potter and Valda Diffey and held on throughout the game to claim victory with a comfortable win.

Spectators and supporters were treated to an afternoon of great entertainment taking in super bowling displays during the final as teams skipped by Withers (Pottsville) and Akers (Kingscliff) engaged in a battle royal for supremacy. Team Akers were first off the mark to score, and with a vice like grip, held onto a narrow lead throughout a game that could have gone either way to claim victory with a narrow margin.

The Senior Fours championship also created excitement

with Judy Tuckey

amongst spectators as the ladies displayed super bowling prowess during the whole event. Pottsville’s Wendy Fielding (Skip), Doreen Buckley, Jan Appleton and George Moore were against Kingscliff’s Maureen James (Skip), Jeny Scher, Bev Lane and Sue Reid in the firsts semi. Team Fielding held the lead up to the completion of the 14th end with the score then on 13-13. Team James stepped up a notch and were able to take over control, hold that position, and claim a berth in the final by two shots. Semi final two was a stoush between Cudgen Leagues’ June Wotherspoon (Skip), Margaret Trapnell, Joan Lawson, Faye Turner and Brunswick Heads’ Bev Rose (Skip), Judy Wright, Jeny Meinel and Bev Gawned.

In a hard day at the office, Team Wotherspoon was able to overcome team Rose to take their place in the final.

The Senior Fours final evolved into an absolute nail biter between the Wotherspoon and James’ teams.

Even though team James didn’t hit the lead at any one time, scoring was super close during the whole contest.

Fantastic bowling from all contestants thrilled spectator and defied any thought of which way the game would go until team Woterspoon, with an extra surge, took charge winning the final four ends and the game. Well done ladies.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

June Wotherspoon, Margaret Trapnell, Joan Lawson and Faye Turner

Tapped in to the waves Alley Classic this weekend

THIS WEEKEND will see the first event in the Queensland Championship Circuit, the Alley Classic, a series where the Queensland and series champion will win based on competitors’ best three-of-four results.

The series’ top athlete will once again get the chance to compete against the world’s best surfers at the 2017 WSL World Championship Tour Quiksilver Pro Trials, Snapper Rocks.

A good swell is predicted, and there will be some great action on show. Notable names who are set to pull on a competition rash shirt this weekend are 2015 QCC series champion Nicholas Vasicek (All depending on his results in the Kommune Pro in Bali), past WSL World Tour competitor Mitch Crews (Currumbin, Qld), Gold Coast legend Jay Phillips (Snapper Rocks, Qld), Sunshine Coast frontrunner Dale Lovelock (Warana, Qld) and 2014 QCC series champion Corey Ziems (Currumbin, Qld), and also Kingscliff local Mitch James who was in great form in the Student Surfing Challenge 2 weeks ago, and will be looking for a good result.

Mad Hueys contest going nuts with the world’s best

with Terry ‘Tappa’ Teece

“I’ve missed it for the last three years because I have been doing the QS grind but I put everything aside to come this year and the swell looks like it’s going to be pumping I’m really excited to stay over it” Dorrington can’t wait to use his past experience surfing Keramas to go up against some of the biggest names in the game, including Joel Parkinson, Bruce Irons and last year’s winner, Burrow.

“I’ve surfed at keramas a bit and absolute love the wave, it’s just so perfect, whether it’s barrels or turns, it has it all. I feel pretty confident so those CT guys better watch out because I’m coming in hot.” Look out for some Midget Magic!!

Entries Available for 41st BK Classic With $5,000 first prize in the Open Division, you better get in fast with your entries for the 41st BK Classic, the former Byron Easter Classic renamed in honour of the Late Byron Bay Boardriders legend Ben King. Held over the Queens Birthday Long Weekend on 11th, 12th, and 13th of June.

It is a whole family event with men’s and women’s divisions for under 10’s, 12’s, 14’s Junior’s and Opens, plus over 35, 45, 50 years and legends division for the men. It is an awesome event always surfed in great spirit.

Past Open winners include Danny Wills, Keiren Perrow, Chappy Jennings, Richard Marsh, Stuart Kennedy, and many other legend of surfing in the 41 years of this event. Entries are on the Byron Bay Boardriders website, and filling fast. http:// byronbayboardriders.com to get an entry!

KOMUNE BALI Pro Presented by The Mad Hueys kicked off Wednesday at the perfect right-hander of Keramas on Bali’s East coast, and it has to be the hardest field in a WQS1000 ever.

Parko, Bruce Irons, Taj Burrow, are just some of the big names competing. To say they might be over there to have some fun as well could be an understatement knowing the Mad Huey’s lads.

The trophy has a bronze shoe on it for the winner to fill with beer and drink from. Always something different from those lads.

After recently announcing his retirement from competitive surfing after more than two decades on the World Surf league’s elite Championship Tour, Taj Burrow will attempt to make it back-to-back wins at Keramas for one of his last ever WSL event appearances.

“I really love this wave and I’ve got a lot of mates here so it’s a no-brainer to come and do this event,” Burrow said. “Last year was such a fun event, winning it was just a bonus.

It looks like there’s going to be plenty of swell this week so I can’t wait to get out there with just a couple of other guys.”

Gold Coast surfer Brent Dorrington is the highest seed surfer for major sponsor The Mad Hueys.

12/43 Tallebudgera Creek Rd, West Burleigh Due to chasing points at AUSTRALIAN CREDIT LICENCE 393599 Qualifying Series (QS) events else where during “Think Finance, Think Frasers” the last two Komune Bali Pro contests, Dorrington is looking forward to finally Home Loan Health Check? getting out at one of the world’s best waves with Car Finance? only a few surfers out.

Between the Flags

Cabarita Beach SLSC – Belinda Pye SIX OF our Caba Bronzies spent last weekend with six other clubbies from Cudgen, Salt and Brunswick participating in the gruelling training and obtained their Silver Medallion and Certificate in Aquatic Search and Rescue.

Justine Ellis who has already achieved this award described the course as challenging both mentally and physically.

The participants are trained to do advanced water entry jumping from rocks and piers as well as performing a water search as a coordinated team. “Our community is important to us and having extra skills to keep people safe is what we aim to do” said Ms Ellis.

Justine who already hosts not only a stack of awards but an large amount of patrolling hours continues to lead by example and along with Sue from Cudgen have now

obtained her qualifications to teach the aquatic rescue award. With all these extra skills that our lifesavers and lifeguards learn and accomplish, it further helps in keeping our beaches safe. Congratulations to Justine, Sharnah, Danny, Jordan, Blake ,Russell and Callum and to Robert and his team who participated in the Radio Operator’s Certificate.

Pick it up. Bin it and Take 3 for the sea is exactly what two wonderful community minded ladies are doing. Nicole Newhouse and Helena Reardon are participating in the #take 3 for 365 challenge and are picking up bags and bags of rubbish from both sides of the road leading into Hastings Point on their daily walks. It was so lovely meeting these two the other day and If you see them in action make sure you give them a huge smile and say thanks.

Sh ting Hoops with David Devine

SENIORS Murwillumbah basketball resumed this week with the women’s winter competition starting on Monday, May 2.

Five sides have nominated so far for what should be an exciting season. It’s not too late if you wish to join a team, or even nominate a team for the season.

On Tuesday night, May 3, a scrimmage was held at the court to gather interest in resuming a men’s league.

Close to 20 people turned out, a solid number to build upon.

We will hold another scrimmage this coming Tuesday, May 10, at the slightly earlier time of 6pm.

From here we will hopefully see teams beginning to emerge to consider a season proper in the not too distant future. We won’t be playing for sheep stations, it will be for enjoyment with a competitive feel. For details contact Jason on 0432 626 583.

JUNIORS On Tuesday, May 3, we commenced our fully subscribed Aussie Hoops program for the 5-11 year age group - and what a fantastic turnout!

Gathering by the enthusiasm of the kids and parents, we will be in for a fun eight weeks.

All of those who registered online were very excited to receive their Aussie Hoops pack consisting of a backpack, reversible singlet and a quality Spalding basketball.

If you missed out, don’t worry as we’ll be running it again in term 3.

YOUTH LEAGUE And the news just gets better and better! Wednesday, May 18, we will commence training and skills sessions for girls and boys aged 12-16.

This will lead into our Youth League, proposed for term 3.

This is for all comers, regardless of experience or knowledge.

More details next week and on our Facebook page.

Until next week, happy balling!

EYES IN THE SKY Surf Life Saving is entering a new era of innovation as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are set to be trialled in NSW for search and rescue, emergency response and shark spotting activities over the winter months.

February’s launch of a ground-breaking

trial of the Little Ripper Lifesaver© sponsored by Westpac and supported by the NSW Government and Surf Life Saving will see aerial surveillance capabilities tested to support existing lifesaving operations along the coast and over land.

The Little Ripper Lifesaver © longrange UAVs will initially be trialled in three locations in NSW-Byron Bay, Hawks Nest and Newcastle. The capability of the technology includes aerial surveillance, search and rescue, shark detection and monitoring or deploying emergency and first aid equipment including floatation devices, defibrillators and survival kits.

The trial will provide new opportunities for volunteer surf lifesavers to extend their skills by being trained as UAV pilots or camera operators.

Little Ripper Facts: • The UAV is a military-grade batterypowered drone that can achieve significant altitude while remaining airborne for approximately 150 minutes.

• Fully loaded the UAV weighs approximately 25 kg.

• It requires two people to fly and operate; a pilot and camera operator.

• It features a front-mounted camera that feeds live footage back to the two operators.

• The Little Ripper Lifesaver is also designed to be used for search-andrescue operations. The UAVs can drop rescue packs containing life-rafts, positioning beacons, defibrillators and other lifesaving equipment to those in distress. These rescue packs are referred to as ULBs (You Little Beauty) At the recent State Championships the Little Ripper UAV made an appearance for the first time in front of those who one day may fly it, and was warmly received by lifesavers.
