Thursday, January 10, 2019

Councillors share priorities and concerns for 2019 “We also need to try to combat the urban heat island effect we get in some of our towns.

“We will hopefully get support from the state government to stop any new commercial water extraction businesses for water bottling in line with neighbouring Councils.

“And climate change, and the impact floods and drought will have on our community’s infrastructure and protecting our community as best we can will be a key priority.”

Councillor Ron Cooper outlined his priorities are to continue his efforts around greater community consultation to determine the shire’s future growth.

“A shire-wide, locality by locality grass roots consultation to determine how our future growth can be accommodated and managed,” he said.

“The life experience and imagination of all people can be a valuable asset that will contribute to better Council decision making.

“This shire-wide consultation should be conducted every four years so that new councillors can benefit from this input.

“The new residents can, in turn, take ownership of the agreed way forward, that’s grassroots democracy.”

Another area of focus by Cr Cooper include the Tiny House Village, which has been addressed in a separate article this week (see Page 8).

“I’m also keen to look at flooding and the impact of tidal storm surges during flood events which is a major issue for those people living in the flatter areas of the Tweed Shire,” he said.

“Council has already adopted a new development height – the Climate Change Inundation level for the greenfield sites.”

Cr Cooper has also outlined his views on the Tweed Valley Hospital site

proposal at Cudgen, which he said needs to shift off state significant farmland.

“I would like the State Government to move the new Tweed Hospital off the State Significant Farmlands, to not declare Kingscliff the new city of the Tweed and to respect our three-storey height limit,” he said.

Cr Reece Byrnes said his priority for 2019 is to keep working hard for the residents and continue to drive our local economy, protect our environment and support the community.

Cr Byrnes said having a Labor member on Council has “achieved much for our local community”.

“As Labor’s representative on Council my biggest concern is the National Party and Tweed MP Geoff Provest’s decision to impose a hospital on state significant farmland at Cudgen,” he said.

“Along with my Labor, state and federal colleagues I will continue to fight for the hospital to be built at the best site, Kings Forest.

“Unfortunately our shire and residents continue to be let down by our Liberal /National Governments at a state and federal level.”

Mr Byrnes said the chaos of leadership in Canberra and the twisted priorities of spending money on stadiums in Sydney “have meant that residents in our shire have missed out”.

“I will continue to work hard for residents in our shire, but Tweed can only do better by having a Labor Government in both Sydney and Canberra,” he said.

The Weekly has contacted the remaining four Councillors including Mayor Katie Milne, who are sending their responses for the next edition (January 17).

TWEED POLICE have received a complaint about a drone being used to allegedly spy on residents in the Riva Vue Estate, Murwillumbah, with one resident reporting a drone hovering outside while she was getting changed.

The Weekly spoke with Tweed Police Acting Inspector Jackie Lilley who confirmed the drone issue was reported to police on Sunday, December 30 (2018).

The report has prompted a police message for drone users to obey the CASA regulations.

However, further assessment of the drone’s rules found that operators can fly over private properties in some cases - as long as they are not flown in restricted airspace and they do not take images of people without their consent.

“The drone (reported in Murwillumbah) was heard and then located over the house, no idea where it’s come from and who owns the drone,” A/Inspector Lilley said.

“Our message is to abide by the guidelines regarding drone usage everyone would have when they buy a drone provided with restrictions.

“As far as flying over properties, as long as drones do not endanger people they’re allowed to fly over private property.”

A/Inspector Lilley said it was a difficult area for police as it was often hard to locate the drone operator.

The following is the most important rules to know for flying a drone in Australia.

• You must only fly during the day and keep your drone within visual line-ofsight. This means being able to see the

aircraft with your own eyes (rather than through a device) at all times.

• You must not fly your drone higher than 120 meters (400 feet).

• You must keep your drone at least 30 meters away from other people.

• You must not fly your UAV over or near an area affecting public safety or where emergency operations are underway (without prior approval).

• You must only fly one UAV at a time.

• You must not fly over or above people.

This could include beaches, parks, events, or sport ovals where there is a game in progress.

• It must be at least 5.5km away from controlled aerodromes.

• Respect personal privacy. Don’t record or photograph people without their consent.

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Councillors have shared some of their priorities and concerns for 2019 as they gear up for their third year in local government.

The Weekly put several questions to each of the seven Councillors this week with their answers printed this week and next week.

D e p u t y M ayo r C h r i s C h e r r y outlined several areas in relation to the environment as well as noise assessments from the Gold Coast Airport and water extraction.

“I hope it is a rewarding and happy year for all and look forward to working with the community constructively to find solutions for the challenges that come up as we negotiate what 2019 brings,” she said.

Cr Cherry said she hopes to tackle the important topic of dealing with the shire’s recycling and the reuse of products.

“This will be a focus for the year as we continue to face up to the challenge of dealing with and minimising our waste,” she said.

“We can all play our part by recycling right and trying to make sure what goes in to the recycling bins is as clean and uncontaminated as possible to ensure recycled product can be reused for new purposes.”

Another area of concern for Cr Cherry was the need to install a noise monitor in the Tweed Shire to monitor changes to noise impacts from the Gold Coast Airport.

“The community deserves to have this information available before changes are made to flight paths,” she said.

“We will aim to encourage businesses that support the clean green image our community aspires to while limiting their impact on residential amenity.

Where’s jobs bonanza?

Tweed MP Geoff Provest who has shouted long and hard about the local jobs bonanza resulting from the new Tweed Valley Hospital will, no doubt, be absolutely shattered to learn that the majority of construction vehicles so far employed on site are Queensland registered.

Perhaps some lone supporter should tell him his Tweed seat is actually in New South Wales.

Jeremy Cornford, Kingscliff I must correct Peter Hatfield (TVW, December 27) regarding Greens policy to reintroduce trains into an integrated public transport network for travel between towns within the Northern Rivers, as proposed by Bill Fenelon, Greens state candidate for Tweed.

Firstly, Greens policy provides for better public transport across the whole region, not just the coast.

Obviously better access between the Tweed, the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers townships will deliver enormous economic and social benefits for Tweed.

There is no reason to cut coastal bus services, as suggested by Mr Hatfield, only to enhance them.

The Greens are not suggesting that coastal commuters travel from Pottsville to Mooball to catch a train/bus via Murwillumbah to Tweed Heads. Greens policy includes buses, trains and cycleways and focuses on timely efficient affordable public transport.

Connecting with a train at Mooball to or from Murwillumbah, Byron or the Sydney/Casino rail service would be a great alternative, as currently the bus trip from Pottsville to Murwillumbah or Byron Bay goes through Tweed and takes about two and a half hours and to Casino takes two hours.

I beg to differ with Mr Hatfield’s claim that rural trains offer no safety or environmental advantage.

Rail is one of the safest, most

environmentally friendly, least carbon intensive form of transport.

Just recently a bus accident west of Byron Bay resulted in a woman being critically injured and 12 others taken to hospital. Far more people die on our roads than on trains.

I dispute Mr Hatfield’s claim that voters who care for our roads and depend on road-based transport should reject the Greens train proposal. Trains will help free up congestion on our roads.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has reported that we must reach zero carbon emissions within thirty one years to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This means that reliance on rail transport is inevitable.

If we rip up our train tracks, the government will sell off the rail corridor for peanuts and then buy it or an another corridor back for megabucks at taxpayers’ expense.

Please read the book ‘Game of Mates’ by Cameron K Murray and Paul Frijters to get an insight into how favours bleed the nation.

Dave Norris, Pottsville

Trains would not help ease public transport needs

I refer to the letter in the Tweed Valley Weekly of December 27 of Bill Fenelon, President of Trains on our Tracks (and Greens candidate for Tweed).

It is not the Northern Rivers Rail Trail group but the LNP and Labor parties telling the community they have no intention of bringing back trains for the foreseeable future.

Expert independent advice has told three reviews over three decades that rail would not provide good public transport in our region, and that advice is reflected in Tweed Shire Council’s transport strategy which is to improve bus services.

Aside from the prohibitive cost and poor targeting at user needs, the only train possible for more than a short distance on the flat along the line North Coast line would be a dirty diesel electric, with higher environmental costs and no passenger safety advantages compared with EV buses now running in Australia.

The corridor is not currently protected from a sell-off. If for example NSW Farmers lobbied to have our corridor passed to adjoining farms - as it has been doing in New England - the parliament can close the line and the land can be sold or gifted. It does not need a rail trail to do that. I note too that the model legislation which closed the Tumbarumba Rosewood rail line for a rail trail made no mention of the width of the corridor.

Tweed Shire Council has agreed to build the rail trail, and unless a conforming bid to build it beside the rail is forthcoming, the rails will need to be removed.

Instead of scaremongering about a supposed but never articulated threat of a sell-off to developers, Mr Fenelon and other Greens should be telling us what legislative wording the Greens are proposing that would satisfy Tweed Council’s request that the corridor continue to be protected without a further act of parliament.

Mr Fenelon refers to the burden on Council of maintaining the corridor, but is mute about the ten million dollars the NSW government has wasted maintaining the corridor since services were suspended.

Now in the Byron Shire the Green council is wasting money on a Byron Line dream when their roads are collapsing, and in the ACT thanks to the Greens rates have risen hundreds to fund their billion dollar light rail.

I urge those who would rather transport funds be spent on better public transport for those who need it and fixing our roads instead of being wasted on rail dreams should preference the Greens last.

Peter Hatfield, Cumbalum

Hospital decisions are being dictated from Sydney

I’ve watched for months the tosand-fros about the new “proposed” hospital in the local journals and am convinced that those in Sydney are dictating what we need.

If they got off their arses and stopped looking at Google Earth, and relied on the locals, then they will understand what we need.

There should be a self contained carpark building of at least 10 levels to house 180 vehicles of visitors per level (1800) now and in the future, and the parking charges ($3 for four hours, $5 thereafter) being sent into the hospital coffers, managed by the hospital not an outside commercial concern.

The first three levels will be for staff only and by card entry. Atop this structure, there would be a heliport with a ramp to the hospital building and into urgent casualty theaters.

This would obviate the need to send patients to Gold Coast University Hospital.

As to the current Tweed Hospital, leave it be for the local area treatment and also a back up for the new hospital.

I have heard that when the “new” hospital is operational, all the gear at the old hospital is to be dumped.

This is so disgustingly wasteful, who came up with this idea?

Ivan Nannac, South Tweed Heads

Metal detector rules

Oh dear, I suspect someone got a new toy for Christmas. On Friday,

December 28, after seeing a mess made of the south-west bend of the creek at Hastings Point, I think it may be advisable to state the rules for any newcomers to the art of metal detecting.

The area I refer to is particularly prone to erosion due to its location and merging of soil types, which is just one more reason to ensure minimum disturbance.

The following advice is based on the rules applying to members of NAPFA, the Garrett handbook, good manners and plain common sense, which every self-respecting detectorist would always follow, automatically.

This is how it’s done.

(1) Upon locating a target, dig as small a hole as possible, to pinpoint the object.

(2) Always fill in your holes afterwards, tamping the sand or soil down, to return it, as much as possible to it’s original condition.

(3) Dispose of any rubbish dug and any on the surface nearby responsibly.

Additionally, never detect in a National Park at all, or private property without the owner’s permission. If you do not adhere to these laws and conventions you run the risk of incurring the ire of residents, visitors, authorities and all detectorists who respect the environment and love their hobby.

And that is the key word: respect.

Alan Davis, Pottsville

Airbnb discussion continues

We are concerned about homes and an individual’s fundamental right to safe, secure housing, plus the rights of those who have complied with legislation and run accredited Small Businesses.

Compare this to the unavoidable fact that nowadays the vast majority of those running commercial hotel/ serviced apartment operations in residential dwellings are doing so without any regard to building c e r t i f i c at i o n r e q u i r e m e n t s including disability access, without contributing by way of commercial rates and taxes, and without controlling said operations ie, not staffing the premises when clients are present.

Airbnb is suing its head off. It seems anywhere and everywhere legislators are attempting to curb the organisation’s commercial expansion, Airbnb is launching a legal challenge and Airbnb is now actively attempting to dictate the political landscape to suit its goals here in NSW. After all, Airbnb has some US$31 billion to hurl at such efforts.

Consider if you might those who have purchased homes in zones and buildings where short-term

rentals are clearly not a permitted use, the Resident Owners who have withstood constant, severe impacts and finally received Land and Environment Court Orders banning such operations in their building. Some of the Court Orders even contain a Penal Notice, which should ensure an end to the unlawful practice.

Enter Airbnb and Brent Thomas and Sam McDonagh fail to acknowledge or respond to correspondence on the everincreasing number of listings in the building with said Orders and Penal Notice. And pointing out to Messrs Thomas and McDonagh a sham Airbnb listing doesn’t see an end to the Airbnb platform providing a means to potentially obtaining monies fraudulently.

The “Portico” in York Street at$2,500/night, ‘hosted’ by Jeb in New York, is a fake Airbnb listing.

It’s an apartment owned by a Councillor at the City of Sydney and some two years on, it is still being advertised by Airbnb.

Airbnb accuses the University of Tasmania and Inside Airbnb of providing ‘fake data’, as per Brent Thomas’ pictured Twitter posts.

And of late we’ve received directly or had passed to us examples of what many would describe as attacks by short-term rental trolls: They claimed we “lie”and “bully”. It’s insinuated that we are linked to the Hotel Industry and perhaps the Labor Party. We are not.

Short-term rental operators, just leave Residential Housing to those needing homes and those who have the right to expect to live in a residential community without suffering sever harassment. Your activities see tenants evicted, result in a distortion of the housing market in many areas, provoke real and ongoing impacts on the lives of neighbours plus put the livelihoods of law-abiding Small Business Operators in jeopardy.

Trish Burt, Convener, Neighbours Not Strangers

Gender quotas questioned

In the present era of gender rights and gender politics, the ALP had pulled out the gender card saying: “what a good mob are we”.

The ALP’s 50 per cent gender quota policy is seriously flawed.

Ability and experience are the denied merits in such a system.

Access to Mooball National Park opens Suspected graffiti

By Jonathon Howard THE TWEED Trail Horse Riders Club is celebrating the recent opening of a new trail to access Mooball National Park via Cudgera Creek Road, following years of campaigning for the Wabba Road access to be retained.

The original trail along Wabba Road has now become private property, after it was sold and is now closed to the public despite many residents opposing the closure.

A lengthy campaign to retain the trail as a right of access for hikers, horse riders and mountain bike riders.

The campaign succeeded with a condition of the road closure being that a dedicated roadway for recreation users would need to be provided so that public access into Mooball National Park would be preserved.

Club Secretary Debra Minto wrote to The Weekly on Tuesday to express her delight at the opening of the new trail,

which is near Wabba Road adjacent to a boundary fence line.

However, she’s also expressed some concern with the “practicalities” of the access route including how narrow and steep the trail is in several sections.

The Trail Horse Riders Club had been in long-term talks with Tweed Shire Council to gain access to the national park following the 2016 closure of Wabba Road.

“Council had always said they would open a new access route, I’m just concerned about the width of the trail in some sections – it was supposed to be six-metres wide and it is less than a metre in some sections,” Ms Minto said.

“I would however, like to praise Council for the installation of the important Caution Horse and Float Parking signage in this area.

“Now that the park access has reopened we expect to see an increase in horse and cycle traffic along Cudgera Creek Road.

“This safety signage will help to remind other road users to slow down and apply caution.”

Several members of the Tweed Trail Horse Riders Club had been using the Wabba Road access trail since the 1970s, according to Mrs Minto.

“In the late 1990s when this area was transferred from a State Forest to a National Park this group fought hard and they were successful in keeping the trail accessible for horses,” she said.

The multi-use trails through the Mooball National Park follow a ridge along the Burringbar Range, providing spectacular views of the Tweed Coast to the east and Mount Warning in the west.

“This park is an asset to the villages of Mooball, Burringbar, Stokers Siding and surrounding areas, and

KINGSCLIFF AND Tweed Heads Police are investigating a malicious damage in relation to graffiti at the Pottsville Plaza on December 13 (2018).

Police believe the young man pictured below may be able to assist officers with their investigation.

“If any member of the community knows who he is and can supply his name and contact details police would like to speak to him,” police said.

Information can be provided via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to Tweed Heads Police station on (07) 5506 9499.

has the capacity for adventure tourism opportunities that would logically be linked to the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, which Council describes as the spine of its proposed Integrated Trail Network (ITN),” she said.

Existing trail links from Burringbar to Uki using the rail corridor and local roads; from the Mooball National Park through Stokers Siding, and via Upper Burringbar could then also form a trail link to the Mount Jerusalem National Park via Smiths, Chowan and Rowlands Creek Roads.

“The aim of an ITN for hiking, horse riding and mountain biking should be to enable circuits via multiple entry points.

The proposed closure of Wabba Road was in conflict with Council’s Rural Villages and Open Spaces Strategies so we are pleased that this important link has been preserved for future trail planning in the area to benefit both residents and visitors.

Cattle sales up in first yarding for 2019

By Megan Albany THE MURWILLUMBAH Sale Yards opened the new year on a positive note at their first sale on Monday, January 7, with cattle prices mildly improved from where they finished last year according to George & Fuhrmann Cattle Auctioneer Brent Casey, with 200 head auctioned.

“Murwillumbah was the first market for the coast in the New Year and we saw prices increase by about 20 to 30 cents than what they were at the end of last year,” Mr Casey said.

Mr Casey, who has been auctioning off cattle in Murwillumbah for the past 11 years said that despite the drought still affecting inland sales, the market was more buoyant on the coast.

“The market at the moment all depends on the weather,” Mr Casey said.

“We’re lucky to have got a fair bit of rain before the Christmas period but we haven’t had the extensive rain we need to fill the dams and get the creeks going.”

While he believes coastal prices have benefitted from the rain at the end of last year, Mr Casey said that further rainfall could see an even greater price rise.

“If it rains, the market will get very dear as there will be a shortage of supply of cattle and that drives the meat markets,” he said.

“We could see quite significant rises if it rains but if it goes the other way and stays dry then a lot more cattle will come back on the markets

again and that will affect the price negatively.”

Despite the drought in other regions, Mr Casey said the mood from Tweed buyers remains optimistic.

“The mood on the coast is pretty good as our water situation is ok, but you only have to go inland to places like Kyogle, Casino and Lismore, which missed the rain, to see how heavily they can be impacted by water issues,” he said.

“There’s a lot of supplementary feeding going on so we’re pretty lucky that we have plenty of feed on the coast.”

Mr Casey said that under these conditions the export market had been the saviour for drought-affected farmers, as it was providing a reasonable price point for distressed farmers needing to destock.

“The export market is holding quite well at the moment for cows, bulls and bullocks,” Mr Casey said.

“With the top fat cows selling at a peak of $2.30 per kilo at the moment, that market is looking like it will open up very, very good.

“The current grid prices from the meatworks are looking very good achieving between $900 and $1,200 for older cows, and between $1,500 and $1,800 for bullocks.

“The export market has really been the saviour as when rainfall is low it enables people to sell their older cows for a little more money than they’d get normally and that helps when they need to destock.”

Mr Casey, who also auctions cattle at the Casino Sale Yards, said that

The Murwillumbah Cattle sale yards had a strong start to 2019 with prices up 20 to 30 cents per kilo.

while Murwillumbah was a much smaller sale yard number-wise, it still attracted buyers due to the quality of the stock on offer.

“While numbers are significantly smaller on the coast compared to what they are in Casino, the coastal markets are renowned for breeding good milk vealers,” he said.

Regardless of the quality of the stock on offer, Mr Casey said there

is still a lot of legwork that goes into getting sales over the line.

“My job isn’t just about auctioning on the day,” he said.

“The cattle come in on a Sunday and I draft them and then I ring the buyers that night to let them know what’s come in and how many we’ve got.

“A lot of our buyers are wholesale operators buying on behalf of meat markets that supply the bigger blokes

like Coles, Woolworths and Aldi, but local butchers are also quite competitive in the local markets.”

Apart from auctioneering, Mr Casey also offers advice to the public about their stock and is happy to answer questions regarding cattle or the markets in general.

Mr Casey said he can be contacted by calling: 0428 530 422 or email: brentc@gnfrealestate.com.au

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Councillor Ron Cooper hopes to address the Tweed’s growing housing affordability and rental crisis with a tiny house initiative near Wardrop Valley Road.

Cr Cooper told The Weekly that he believes the supply of social housing has been “allowed to fall well behind the demand”.

“When people reach the final stages of rental stress, affordable housing policy provides no solution,” he said.

“The Tiny House Village is an opportunity to trial a model of low rental social and affordable housing that may be adopted in other local government areas.”

Cr Cooper said his proposal was to build a sustainable, off-grid village of between 100 and 200 houses, powered by solar and wind with battery back-up.

“On-site waste water treatment, preferably through natural reed-bed filtration along with composting toilets will all be part of the sustainability mix,” he said.

“We know that social housing is resisted inside, and adjacent to, existing residential communities.

“We know that the mobile and manufactured home parks do a good job of providing affordable housing and that these facilities develop supportive communities.

“But if you’re about to go homeless, you don’t have the $100,000 to $200,000 to buy into these housing options.

“I’m proposing that The Tiny House Village will consist entirely of rental properties on a single title and be council owned.”

Cr Cooper said the village could be broken into three rental categories including social housing, lifestyle choice and short-term holiday letting.

“This will give a reasonable return to Council to cover maintenance and any future expansion needs,” he said.

“The social housing will be managed and maintained under a ten-year lease by a north coast community housing co-op.”

Cr Cooper believes the Tiny House Village project could give struggling residents and families a lifeline to avoid ending up on the street as a result of financial stress.

“Social housing residents will be able to reset their lives following personal or family disruption,” he said.

Cr Cooper also hopes the Tiny House proposal could become a benchmark for other Councils to follow suit.

However, ultimately Cr Cooper said he hopes to catch the Tweed’s most vulnerable residents before they spiral into depression

and other conditions associated with housing.

“A family can stay together and regain stability because of security and affordability of the Tiny House Village,” he said.

“It is not unheard of for parents to deprive themselves of food, so their kids can eat, as the family try to ward off the ultimate embarrassment of sleeping in their cars, couch surfing or imposing on relatives.

“Once depression sets in, the downward spiral is underway.

“Alienation from members of the broader community grows and the important, informal community support evaporates.

“It is important to restore the feeling of being part of a community and having the opportunity for normal, mutually supportive social interaction.”

Cr Cooper’s vision for the tiny house village also extends into successful community garden initiatives.

“There is the possibility of growing highquality pesticide-free vegetables and herbs hydroponically,” he said.

“This produce could be sold at markets as well as at the village gate.”

Cr Cooper said the cooperative organisation could vet all prospective occupants and be responsible for keeping check on them, along with maintenance and collection of rent.

“This lifestyle model will also provide an option for older people who wish to downsize or are forced to downsize,” he said.

“These people can choose to move into a mobile or manufactured home park, purchase a home there and pay the site rental, or keep what assets they have and just pay a higher rent in The Tiny House Village.

“The social housing component should not be allowed to drop below one third of the total housing numbers.

“It is also possible that a men’s shed could be established on site and carry out the handyman requirements of the village.”

Cr Cooper said Council ownership of the land would be essential for a funding application to be successful.

“Council will provide the land, while State and Federal governments will be requested to provide funding for the construction of housing and associated infrastructure.

“Council should legally ensure that the proposed site will not be subdivided except for that area already identified in the northwest corner of this site.”

Lifeguards give Tweed beachgoers thumbs up for summer season so far of incidents in the Tweed so in the off-season we came up with a plan to promote and educate about swimming between the flags.”

Mr Lethbridge said they had worked with Surf Life Saving NSW who have a Bush to Beach programme they run at schools around the state.

“We basically mirrored what they were saying to the students although their programme goes right out west and has been running for years,” he said.

“I think definitely being actively out in the community delivering the message has helped.”

Mr Lethbridge said drones were being used at Kingscliff Beach throughout the holiday period.

“Lifesaving UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or Drones) are part of the Department of Primary Industry programme for shark spotting and we have a drone now flying at Kingscliff from 7.30am to 3.30pm to identify any hazards such as marine life, rips or other hazards,” he said.

“It’s primarily there to spot sharks but we do a whole aerial surveillance of the area.

“There have been no confirmed shark sightings in the Tweed this holiday season which is fantastic.”

Mr Lethbridge said lifeguards had been “really highly visible to the public and active in our duties”.

“We have had a lot more blue bottles in the last two days predominantly on the incoming and high tide on the north winds so people need to be aware of that,” he said.

Tweed lifeguards are praising Tweed locals and holidaymakers for staying between the flags.

“Beachgoers should ask lifeguards for advice and look at the beach signage to see if there are stingers or strong undertows or any hazards like that.”

Mr Lethbridge said lifeguards were working in conjunction with Tweed Coast Holiday Parks.

“Now that we are in the holiday period we have stationed ourselves quite close to the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks at Pottsville north and south, Hastings Point, Fingal and Kingscliff north and south and

“Always swim at a patrolled location between the red and yellow flags,” he said.

“If you can’t see a red and yellow flag or a lifeguard in red or yellow we can’t see you to help if you get in trouble.

“It’s great to see everyone listening to the advice of lifeguards and we just want to thank everyone for swimming at a patrolled location but we really want to remind everyone to take care to do that in the lead up to the Australia Day weekend.”

I get asked by a lot people about whether it is feasible to go off grid. It does cost a lot more upfront, but most systems will pay for themselves in about 8-10 years. Apart from the financial Solar Power is the best investment you can make this year. Property values are going down, shares are taking a tumble considerations, there are many compelling and lets face it, banks are the only ones making real money from reasons why we can’t afford to stay on the grid and burn more coal and gas. your deposits.

we work very closely with them,” he said.

“Every Thursday at Kingscliff North Holiday Park myself and one of the lifeguards deliver a surf safety message to holidaymakers and we usually have 15 or 20 come along to each of them.

“We talk to them and take them onto the beach and identify rips in front of where they are and why they need to swim in the flags.”

Mr Lethbridge said the key message to beachgoers remains the same.

Humans are facing the largest crisis ever which will destroy human civilisation as we know it.

By Jo Kennett AN INITIATIVE to educate Tweed children about swimming between the flags appears to be a success with Tweed lifeguards saying they are very happy with the holiday season so far.

Visitors have been flocking to enjoy what some have called the best Christmas break weather for years and Australian Lifeguard Service Tweed Lifeguard Supervisor Brent Lethbridge said the holidays “have been going really well”.

“The public has been really responsive to any directives given by lifeguards,” he told The Weekly.

“There has been a few minor rescues but nothing major despite there having been some really hot days with nice warm water and plenty of swell.

“There has definitely been rips with that swell but the lifeguards have been really proactive and the public are heeding the warnings.”

Mr Lethbridge said that lifeguards are trying to talk to people on the beach as much as they can to get them to swim between the flags.

“In winter we ran a surf education programme with a lot of primary schools in the Tweed promoting the message to swim between the flags,” he said.

“We went out around the shire including to schools out west of the shire and spoke to about 2,500 students.

“That was an initiative of the Australian Lifeguard Service which we did for free because last year we had a relatively high number

“They left those though and just took change which makes us think it might just kids looking for drug money,” she said.

“To take a car you’d think they weren’t just kids but they dumped the skateboard near where the car was.

“The thing that really annoyed us was that they leave the car open so we had to get a new battery.

“We’re the sort of people that trust everyone but we won’t be able to do that anymore so it’s kind of a shock. It’s really sad - the people that do this type of thing have no self-respect and compared to them we are blessed and our kids are really lucky.”

At one residence two cars were broken into but neither of the alarms were activated.

The owner said on social media that there was no key lock damage to cars and nothing was stolen. The glove boxes and the doors were open and one of the vehicles had a flat battery.

The resident found small magnets placed over the locks on the inside of the car.

The Weekly contacted local locksmiths and motor wreckers to try to find out why magnets would be placed over the locks inside the cars however no one we spoke to had heard of this or could explain the reason for it.

Another Seabreeze resident who didn’t want to be named said her car door was left open and money was taken out of the console.

“I heard noises at 3.30am so I got up and there was banging on my fence,” she said.

“I turned the lights on and then the noise stopped but I did not notice the car until the morning.

“We didn’t even tell the police as we know nothing is going to happen to these kids - they pretty much run the town.”

The woman said it wasn’t the first time they had been hit.

“We had our car covered in chewed up bubble gum one night,” she said.

“We will be investing in security cameras but it’s sad that it has gotten to this and now my children are afraid to go to sleep.

“The neighbours across the road from us have cameras but I haven’t spoken to them yet. Like I said though there is no point as nothing will ever happen to prevent it and these children will get worse - we are thinking of moving.”

Last year Pottsville and Casuarina were the two areas most targeted by criminals along the Tweed Coast in crime waves that saw many vehicles broken into with thousands of dollars worth of power tools and cars stolen.

Recently-retired Tweed Byron Local Area Command Superintendent Wayne Starling met with community members to listen to their concerns, resulting in police stepping up patrols and arresting several members of crime gangs.

Police are remindinh residents to lock their cars and homes and report all incidents to the Police Assistance Line on 131 444.

By Jo Kennett TWO CARS were stolen and several others were broken into during a crime spree in the Seabreeze Estate, Pottsville on Friday night, January 4.

A Tweed Byron Police District media statement said a 2017 black Toyota C-HR Koba SUV NSW registration DVH47R was stolen from Narooma Street, Pottsville on Friday night.

The car was seen parked in the street by a neighbour at 10.30pm and at about 4am on Saturday, January 5, it was seen at a Chinderah service station where the thieves stopped for fuel but left without paying.

The car was found in Nerang on Tuesday September 8.

Tweed Police said they will release the images of the offenders once the CCTV footage can be obtained.

Several cars were broken into in surrounding streets and a 2006 gold Ford Falcon Sedan NSW Registration BK71DJ was stolen from Terrigal Street, Pottsville.

Police said the offences were “opportunist crimes” and that the property stolen was cash, jewellery, wallets, handbags, house and car keys.

At least eight other vehicles were broken into in the Seabreeze Estate on the same night, including three belonging to Katie Tucker’s family.

“Our dog went to the front door around 1pm as if he was disturbed by something,” Ms Tucker told The Weekly.

“My son went out to his car around 9.30am and came and said his girlfriend’s skateboard had been stolen.

“Some ID was taken but we found that and the skateboard at the end ofthe street near where another car was stolen.”

Ms Tucker said her son is training to be a navy clearance diver and the thieves took a backpack with all his navy notes for the year.

“They are work notes because he is studying and a $500 watch that his girlfriend gave him was stolen and they took change from our car,” she said.

“The car that got stolen belonged to a nurse, the poor woman is an emergency nurse and is there helping people on a daily basis and my son might go to war for us one day - they are people that are helping out others and it’s just disgusting that this would happen to them.”

Ms Tucker said her son had started training to be a clearance diver in early 2018.

“He loves it. He is only home for a week so it’s sad that this has happened,” she said.

“This is the quietest street and so lovely and full of kids and this is the first thing I know of anything happening.

“Unfortunately crime seems to be rising in Pottsville - it’s always in the school holidays.

Falls Festival has been on so it’s busy and maybe it’s people looking for drug money.”

Ms Tucker said her husband had power tools in his car.

Big-hearted local giving abused horses a second chance

By Megan Albany TWEED HORSE lover Bianca Mercuri is a mother of one five-month-old baby and eleven rescue horses.

Having started her career as a strapper and stable hand in the fastpaced racing industry in Melbourne, she moved to Tyalgum where she now spends her time not only giving horses a second chance but also helping children in her local community.

“I started Second Chance Equine Experience officially last year, but I’ve been rescuing horses for around ten years and helping kids in the community for free for the last three to four years,” Ms Mercuri said.

“Last year I decided to help kids who were suffering after the floods to take their minds off things and that’s when it officially launched.

“I had all these horses that needed love and there was only me to give it to them.

“There were kids in the community that didn’t have a horse or couldn’t afford a horse so I started to teach them horsemanship skills and free riding lessons in exchange for the kids working with the horses and giving them love and attention.”

In order to win her horse’s trust as well as to make it safe for the children to work with them, Ms Mercuri said she uses desensitising training.

“I do desensitising training before I let the kids get near the horses and once they trust me then I work

with them to build trust between the horse and the child,” Ms Mercuri said.

“We have a new horse called Spirit whose been very badly mistreated and is emaciated and has trust issues, so I don’t let him interact with the kids yet.

“I will have a lot of work to do with him and it takes a lot of time and patience, but the reward will be even greater in the end.

“Once you break down the barrier and they trust you, they turn into this amazing loving creature and go from being scared and wild to a horse that loves children even more than normal.”

Ms Mercuri said after rescuing her first horse over ten years ago, she has just seemed to attract rescue horses ever since.

“I worked at the race track in Melbourne where I looked after the horses and would brush them, feed them and take them to the races.

“That’s where I found my first rescue horse,” Ms Mercuri said.

“He was one of my favourites and I used to take him to the races. When he retired, he was off track and had been given to a woman and then I heard they were going to shoot him because he was dangerous, so I brought him up here.”

That was the start of what was to become a very large stable of rescue horses.

“I found my next horse when I moved house and she had been abandoned in a paddock for seven

Spirit the horse is on the road to recovery with Bianca’s help (inset), but came to her looking severely neglected

years so she was pretty wild,” Ms Mercuri said.

“She was just a mess, she had dreadlocks down to the ground, her ribs were showing, she had a sunken back and a condition called big head.

“When I saw her I thought, I can’t feed my own horses and not feed her, so I fed her and she slowly started trusting me.”

Over the years Ms Mercuri said she just seemed to collect rescue horses, which while it was emotionally rewarding, started to take its toll both physically and financially.

“I started to realise I had all these horses and it was also getting to a point where I couldn’t afford them,” Ms Mercuri said.

“I realised that they needed to make money for their own feed and

by that stage I had my own baby and needed more time, so I decided to charge for lessons so I didn’t have to continue to work two jobs just to feed the horses.”

Second Chance Equine Experience currently offers both individual and group lessons but in the future it will be setting up as a registered charity.

“We offer private lessons or group lessons where children can come together with the horses and we play lots of fun games,” she said.

“We also have a five week program that builds confidence and children learn trust exercises as well as how to groom and lead the horses before they actually hop on.

“That’s the best way because it builds the child’s confidence and they get to interact with all of the horses and understand that they all have

GOLD COAST TRAINING COLLEGE RTO 40816

different personalities and are all so different because of what’s happened to them in the past.”

Apart from offering lessons to organisations, Ms Mercuri said they are also now working with a few companies including, It Takes A Town and the Family Centre. Ms Mercuri said the interest from these organisations has inspired her to ensure that all children can afford the opportunity to work with rescue horses.

“We’re going down the path of turning the Second Chance Equine Experience into a registered charity, that’s looking like being on the cards for this year,” she said.

Flying fox flight path fears unfounded says Health Infrastructure

By Jonathon Howard A REPORT around the future use of a helicopter flight path to access the proposed Tweed Valley Hospital site at 771 Cudgen Road, has raised concerns for possible flying fox collision.

T h e We e k l y r e c e i v e d t h e report from the Evans Head Memorial Aerodrome Committee Incorporated, who have expressed “serious concerns” about the adequacy of the aviation assessment for the proposed Tweed Valley Hospital site.

The report compiled by the committee’s president, Dr Richard Gates, highlighted the rooftop helicopter landing site and the appropriateness of the location because of a “risk to public safety due to a nearby flying fox colony”.

“The Committee has formed the view that the proposed location for the hospital is not appropriate because of significant risk of helicopter collision with flying foxes from a nearby colony,” he said.

“In our view this aviation/flying fox conflict has serious ramifications for the siting of the hospital because of the need for helicopter access for emergencies.

“If the hospital is to have a helicopter emergency facility at all then the hospital needs to be relocated to a safer area.”

However, Health Infrastructure was questioned about the concerns and provided the report and responded by stating the team were

confident they have addressed the flight risks in relation to the flying fox colony.

A Health Infrastructure spokesperson told The Weekly that they understand the potential strike risk between flying foxes and aircraft in flight “is a hazard for aviation traffic across the Tweed Valley region”.

“This includes the Gold Coast Airport and also the current Tweed Hospital, which is located just over 700m north-west of the flying fox colony at Anchorage Island, according to the Tweed Shire Council’s Tweed Flying-Fox Camp Management Plan (March 2018),” the spokesperson said.

“Studies undertaken by expert c o n s u l t a n t s t o i n fo r m t h e Environmental Impact Assessment for the Tweed Valley Hospital Development reviewed the proximity of flying fox camps to the site, taking into consideration also the Council’s Management Plan.

“These assessments did not identify any significant aviation or ecological risks specific to the new hospital site posed by the local flying fox population.

“The Council’s Management Plan highlights 16 flying fox camps up and down the Tweed Coast.

“This includes camps in close vicinity to the existing hospital, as well as most of the sites considered and all of those shortlisted for the new hospital.”

The Health Infrastructure spokesperson said the Response

to Submissions Report, which will be submitted to the Department of Planning and Environment in the coming weeks, will provide further detail of the studies undertaken and management plans that will be implemented.

“Helicopter operations, including flight paths and frequency, have also been considered in the planning for the new development,” the spokesperson said.

“The helipad will provide multiple options for approach and take-off, to help determine a safe flying path for each individual helicopter movement.

“A helipad management plan will be implemented following operational commissioning of the new hospital to manage risk, environmental impact and the safety of pilots and passengers.”

Dr Gates said he was surprised when he read the aviation review on the rooftop Helicopter Landing Site (HLS) that there was “no mention whatsoever” of the flying fox risk for the proposed Tweed Valley Hospital location.

“The organisation which prepared the report for the government has prepared many such reports for them and we would have thought by now that a risk assessment for birds and bats for northern NSW locations would be considered routine given their well-known presence,” he said.

“Clearly the Health Department Guidelines for HLS, which were recently revised, are not up-to-date and require the addition of such

an important consideration and assessment.

“Federal National Aviation Safeguards have identified these risks for some time now.”

Dr Gates said that as the hospital is only in the planning stage this is the “ideal opportunity for the State government to relocate the proposal from the current site to one which is safer”.

Political battle lines drawn Meanwhile, the NSW Labor Party has reaffirmed its position to relocate the hospital site, while Member for Tweed Geoff Provest has labelled Labor’s decision as potentially “delaying the hospital by years” something Labor has denied.

Tweed Shire Candidate Craig Elliot said “ignoring important information such as risks associated with flight corridors shows that Geoff Provest is not listening and is not working in the community’s best interest”.

“This entire hospital proposal lurches from crisis to crisis and with no true community consultation undertaken,” he said.

“The National Party’s Cudgen site is the wrong location.

“It’s the wrong zoning, it’s too small and it fails because it cannot effectively meet the future hospital needs of locals over the next 80 to 100 years.

“Labor’s considered position is to build a new hospital on the expansive 860ha Kings Forest estate while importantly keeping

the current Tweed Hospital facility in public hands.”

Mr Elliot said the hospital is now a “clear referendum decision at the ballot box”.

“With voting for the state election commencing with pre-polling in around 60 days the choice is clear only a Labor State Government can protect the farmland at Cudgen, save Kingscliff from Gold Coast style over-development, and deliver the best health and hospital outcomes for all Tweed residents on time and on budget,” he said.

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said NSW Labor have a clear plan to “scrap the existing works underway on the new Tweed Valley Hospital”.

“Not only will Labor’s plan delay the project by years, it will blow the budget by millions upon millions of dollars and result in fewer medical services provided to the Tweed community, putting local lives at risk,” Mr Provest said.

Mr Provest also added that Labor leader Michael Daley was leading a “two-faced approach to health”.

“Labor Leader Michael Daley stands in the Tweed calling for work on the new Tweed Valley hospital to stop, then heads back to his home in Sydney and claims the Government is delaying work on the Tweed Valley Hospital,” he said.

“With the NSW Nationals in Government, the projected completion date for the Tweed Valley Hospital is 2022 with the facility being fully operational in 2023.”

Holiday rubbish dumps horrify residents Job seekers tips for

By Jo Kennett TWEED COAST residents have been horrified by the amount of rubbish dumped around the coast over the holiday period, with some locals spending hours cleaning up broken glass and Tweed Shire Council workers being called in to clean up some areas.

A Cabarita woman said her husband came across a large area filled with rubbish in the dunes in the Cudgen Nature Reserve between Casuarina and Cabarita, when he went for a walk on Wednesday, January 2.

Tracey Grant went back with her husband the next day to take photos.

“I was absolutely horrified. I couldn’t believe anyone could leave a mess like that,” Ms Grant said.

“It was a big circular area about 20 square metres with a tree and a little structure someone has made inside it as if it has been used quite regularly.

“My husband said it was even worse the day before - there was still a big mound of rubbish lying on the ground but someone had been back and bagged some of it.”

Ms Grant said she was told that Council had been informed and went back on Tuesday, January 8 to see if they had found the dump.

“It doesn’t look like they have but it looks like someone has been back and tried to burn the mound - there are bottles on the beach as if people had been back,” she said.

“There were 750mL bottles of Jim Beam stuck in the tree that weren’t there the week before and my husband said, they obviously aren’t poor kids.

employment in 2019

Rubbish at a Kingscliff site was piled high and was mostly alcohol

“It looks like it’s a regular party place as the grass has been flattened and there is a stick stuck in the ground nearby to mark the spot.”

Ms Grant said she had real concerns about the rubbish and the party spot.

“In king tides that rubbish and all those broken bottles could wash into the ocean and little kids could step on it,” she said.

“I was also horrified about such a big group of people drinking so much and leaving there and wondering what sort of damage they might do after they leave.

“I’m a mum as well and I couldn’t help thinking about young girls that might go up there to party that are getting so drunk that they don’t know what’s happening which makes them really vulnerable to being sexually assaulted.”

A spokesperson from Tweed Shire Council said the Cudgen Nature Reserve was National Parks land so illegal dumping would be handled through the National Parks ranger.

National Parks have been informed of the illegal dumping.

A Pottsville man was shocked to find an area of grass on the creek bank at Overall Drive, Pottsville covered in all sorts of different types of broken glass on Sunday, January 7.

The man spent the morning cleaning up around five square metres of glass opposite Edinburgh Court, some of which was buried deep in the sand and could have caused serious injuries.

The man said on social media that he didn’t think it looked accidental.

Many locals congratulated him on his efforts but expressed concern that this had happened in a public space where children often play.

Another resident told The Weekly her husband had spent most of Sunday morning picking up broken beer bottles from another location on Overall Drive.

The woman, who didn’t want to be named, said she thought the bottles were from young men they see drinking late at night in the area who didn’t realise “the damage and potential injuries that may occur with broken glass”.

TWEED SHIRE job seekers are ramping up in the new year with plenty of youngsters and older Tweed residents eager to secure steady employment in 2019.

The Weekly spoke with several local business owners who said they still look for potential employees that use traditional methods such as door knocking with their resume.

However, many job seekers are opting to use email and a new wave of job seekers are using social media to post their job requests with varying degrees of success.

“I still like to look for the staff who drop into our business face-to-face and talk to us directly,” a local business owner, who preferred not to be named, said.

“We also look for those applicants that send a follow up email and show they’re ready to work and take an interest in our business.

“It’s about using all the avenues to get your foot in the door including technology.”

While many job seekers will face rejection, it’s important they bounce back.

“It is important job seekers are not discouraged by knock backs,” another business owner said.

“A position may not be available, or the business owner is busy.

“Try to determine the best time to talk to a business owner or manager and don’t be discouraged by knock backs.”

Recent Tweed graduates and local job seekers are also encouraged to contact local job seeker agencies, which have a wealth of knowledge.

The Tweed Shire has several job agencies ready to help with resumes, job opportunities, perfecting your interview skills and much more.

Among some of the most prominent employment opportunities across the Tweed Shire, according to seek. com.au, includes administration, reception and customer service staff.

THERE IS so much to love about eating locally and seasonally and that is why shopping at our farmers’ market means if we have it - then it is in season.

Local mangoes appear in January – the ones in the shops before Christmas are initially from Darwin and then north Queensland but waiting for our local crop to ripen just increases the joy of eating local and seasonal produce.

Will from Everest Farm, who still has the best bananas – always - and water melons too, said that this year’s crop of Bowen mangoes (our favourite) will be short and sweet starting next week. Oh how my mouth salivates for this tropical treat!

Local dragon fruit are in season too and if Hayden and Steve at Rainbow Fruit Flats can beat the birds we will have these at the market over the coming weeks.

Chilled dragon fruit are perfect on a hot summer’s day and they also make fantastic naturally red ice blocks.

Tweed real estate defies housing downturn

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE real estate agents are forecasting another big year for the Tweed’s property market with demand tipped to remain high from buyers and the need for new listings high on the list of priorities for local agents.

The Weekly has this week compiled an exclusive real estate report from the past 12 months with some big shifts in the market and strong growth on the coast.

Unit sales have picked up in the past 12 months and there’s been some big shifts upwards across several Tweed Coast suburbs including Kingscliff units which increased by 22.8 per cent following 171 sales.

Pottsville units increased by 14.8 per cent with 66 units sold in 2018, while Bogangar units experienced the largest growth of 42.1 per cent but had only 32 units sold.

The suburb with the strongest unit sales in 2018 was Tweed Heads which had 288 sales in 2018, but experienced a slight dip in overall growth by -0.7 per cent.

The big shifts in house prices this year came from the coast with Casuarina (19.4 per cent), Kingscliff (13.6 per cent), Bogangar (10.8 per cent) and Pottsville (7.7 per cent) houses all showing strong growth.

In the valley, Murwillumbah showed strong sales and growth in the past 12 months with a total of 144 properties sold and a steady 7.9 per cent growth.

Banora Point produced the most sales in 2018 with a total of 239 properties sold and growth of around 6.9 per cent.

The Weekly put several questions to local real estate agents in late 2018 and found similar outlooks in their responses including that the Tweed will “weather the real estate storm predicted in 2019”.

Elders Tweed Valley Director and Sale Consultant Craig Dudgen said the team had a “really strong last quarter” and achieved some fantastic results.

“Listings have been steadily coming on the market,” he said.

“We need more quality listings, particular rural listings seem to be in high demand and vacant blocks which are the most enquired about.”

Mr Dudgeon said house prices seem to be in line with the current market.

“The media is certainly painting a picture of doom and gloom but hasn’t affected the market as yet,” he said.

“We are certainly in a very unique pocket of the country here in the Tweed Valley and will always be sort after and a little resilient.”

The Weekly asked whether local agents are preparing for a future rate rise, and what impact this could have on the local real estate market?

“Crystal balls are hard to come by but would expect we would weather any storm better than most regions,” Mr Dudgeon said.

In the meantime, Mr Dudgeon said the Elders Tweed Valley team had a positive outlook for 2019 with plans to expand their team.

“Sally Mitchell and I couldn’t be happier with our results,” he said.

“We have a created a dream team of dedicated, hardworking professionals committed to a growing business.

“So far first quarter is looking really good.

“New listings for January are looking good and we are expanding our team to cater for growth of our business.

“I’m really positive about next year and look forward to some great results.”

DJ Stringer principal David Stringer has also given a positive forecast for 2019 with the market geared towards sellers.

“Despite the negative publicity the media has been constantly voicing especially about our southern states, the Gold Coast & Northern NSW markets have remained upbeat,” Mr Stringer said.

“We haven’t seen a demise in the number of enquiry levels and as property listings remain tight, prices should be sustained based on sheer demand.

“In addition, the rental market is extremely buoyant with strong tenant demand and shortage of quality homes to lease.”

Mr Stringer said listings were tight during the entire 2018 calendar year.

“This did diminish at the last quarter based on the fact that, many potential local sellers didn’t have a lot of choice to relocate into and of course the festive season which does defer sellers usually until the new year,” he said.

Mr Stringer said he believes prices are in line with the market at the moment.

“The Southern Gold Coast and Northern NSW regions are considered very well priced, hence why such areas attract strong demand from not only our Brisbane and southern neighbours, but from buyers around the globe,” he said.

“An interest rate rise is inevitable during 2019 and in the short term shouldn’t have a lot of impact on the market.”

Mr Stringer said sale enquiries have been “exceptionally strong”.

“A majority of buyers are either looking for beachside or beachfront properties or family homes in quiet suburban areas on either sides of the border,” he said.

“The market is definitely in the seller’s favour based on the limited competing stock and an abundance of buyer enquiry,” he said.

“Buyers should still remain active and patient for the right property, at the right price.”

Finally, could you please give readers your forecast for the first quarter of 2019?

“We forecast that the market will continue its positive trends for sellers, with good signs also for buyers as more property is traditionally listed in from mid-January forward,” Mr Stringer said.

“So, buyers, get your finance in order, do your research and get ready to jump as soon as the right property comes your way.”

First National Murwillumbah real estate agent Helen Flynn said the market in the Tweed Valley is currently “quite solid, with wellpriced properties selling”.

“Regional areas such as ours are bucking the trend of metropolitan areas like Sydney where there market is experiencing property price decline,” she said.

“Regional NSW experienced a growth in property prices of 3.2 per cen for the financial year ending 30/06/18.”

Mrs Flynn said listings in the December quarter were steady with a mix of residential and small rural properties coming onto the market.

“Property pricing in the market place is always an interesting issue - astute sellers who do their research as they enter the market (including taking advice from their agent) are well aware whether their asking price is realistic or not,” she said.

“Even though mortgage interest rates have been low and stable for

a long time, an interest rate rise at some point is inevitable.

“Should that occur in our market, current and future borrowers should only notice a fairly small increase in monthly repayments which should be achievable for most.

“Therefore, market activity should not be impacted to any great degree.”

Mrs Flynn said during the financial year to date sales and enquiries have been strong.

“Buyers are looking for well-priced, well located and well-maintained property,” she said.

“In addition to existing improved property there is a big demand for more vacant residential land in the Murwillumbah West area.

“In addition to this the same can be said for vacant rural land subdivision - approval for this lies in the hands of local government.”

Mrs Flynn said it was a “great time to sell or buy” as the Tweed area is a sought after region.

“Our real estate pricing remains stable as we are being influenced by buyers who once looked to the Brunswick Heads/Mullumbimby/ Bryon Bay areas but now find they can purchase more affordable property in this area,” she said.

“Also we have strong demand from buyers wishing to live here and commute to the Gold Coast for work.”

“The future looks bright for January, February and March 2019 and why wouldn’t it when we live in such a scenic area with beautiful beaches, world heritage National Parks, close proximity to the Gold Coast and Brisbane and all the facilities they offer.”

Keith Kennedy receives OAM for contribution to Surf Life Saving

By Jo Kennett CUDGEN SURF Life Saving Club stalwart Keith Kennedy was presented with a Medal of the Order of Australia in honour of his extraordinary achievements in Surf Life Saving at a club ceremony attended by members, his family and dignitaries on December 17, 2018.

President of Cudgen SLSC Adam Mills said the award recognised “the enormous contribution” Mr Kennedy had made to the club and the wider Surf Life Saving community.

“Keith started at Ballina/Lismore SLSC in 1954 before seeing the light and transferring to Cudgen in 1956,” Mr Mills said.

“Over the last 60 plus years since taking those first steps as one of the club’s office bearers he has fulfilled most of the major roles within the club at one time or another and is currently the club’s historian and media officer and sits on a number of committees.

“Incredibly during that 60 plus year period he has served as President for 16 years, Secretary for 16 years and Chief Instructor for 16 years.

“Keith has also been involved in the organisation for every one of the major championships that the club has hosted which includes a number of Australian, State and country championships.”

Mr Mills said Mr Kennedy had touched many lives during his involvement in Surf Life Saving and was held in enormous respect.

He also praised Mr Kennedy’s fundraising efforts for the club and passion for the old boys “which has raised over $220,000 for the club to pay for much needed rescue equipment”.

“It costs $90,000 a season to operate the club and the old boys and Keith do a lot of that,” he said.

“Keith is one of the most generous people that I have known.

“He may keep a tight rein on the purse strings but he has a knack of raising funds and convincing businesses that they should donate to the club - probably his standover tactics as their ex teacher.

“I recall being given $500 by Keith as a 15-year-old to assist me with getting to the Australian Titles.”

Back then that was a lot of money and to this day I remain very grateful because it set me on a path to a successful competitive career in Surf Life Saving.

Mr Mills said Mr Kennedy had dedicated his life to ensuring the success of the club and had been “a large part of why our club is considered to be one of the best clubs in Australia”.

Member for Lismore Thomas George acknowledged the contribution of Mr Kennedy and his wife Margaret to the club before presenting him with the medal.

Keith Kennedy OAM (middle right) with wife Margaret, son David, daughter Ros, Geoff Provest and Thomas George,

“Nine out of ten lifesavers here were taught by Keith here and at Murwillumbah High School and coached by him in rugby league,” Mr George said.

“This certificate is signed by the Governor General Peter Cosgrove with the approval of her majesty the Queen and this medal is the Order of Australia.”

Mr Kennedy said it was a great honour to receive the award.

“I didn’t expect it so I want to thank whoever nominated me, but I have a fair idea who it was,” he said.

“I came from Orange and didn’t get my Bronze until 1954 in Ballina and got appointed as a teacher to Murwillumbah in 1956.

“The club has been good to me wherever you go in the world and all over Australia you have good mates - and I very much appreciate seeing everyone here today.”

Mr Kennedy’s daughter Ros told The Weekly that Cudgen SLSC was his second family.

“We were brought up on Kingscliff Beach spending sunrise to sunset every Sunday with picnics on the beach,” she said.

“Surf Life Saving has been a life commitment for him and he has put many thousands of hours into it.

“It’s been really good for him especially after he retired as a teacher at Murwillumbah High School

and we’re really proud of him, he’s definitely earned this.”

Club Patron and Tweed MP Geoff Provest and the Far North Coast SLSC President, Wilson Cregan also attended the event and congratulated Mr Kennedy on his outstanding contribution.

Mr Mills also acknowledged the presence of a number of life members, old boys and past members “who set the foundations of the club” and thanked them for their years of dedication and their continued support.

Among his numerous contributions to the club, Mr Kennedy writes the Cudgen SLSC column for the Tweed Valley Weekly.

Dob in a dealer campaign launches but success is hard to tell

By Jo Kennett

NSW POLICE launched a statewide Dob in a Dealer (DIAD) campaign in Knox Park, Murwillumbah on Thursday, January 3, to try to disrupt the supply and manufacture of illicit drugs.

The Weekly contacted NSW Police for any figures on how successful the first week of the campaign has been across the Tweed Shire.

A Crime Stoppers spokesperson said that as the calls are confidential, the police have no idea where they come from and there were no statistics and no way of telling how many calls had been made to the Crime Stoppers number from the Tweed Region.

Tweed Byron Police District Commander Acting Superintendent Brendon Cullen launched the campaign with Mr Peter Price, the CEO of Crime Stoppers.

A/Supt Cullen told The Weekly that Murwillumbah was chosen as the launch location for the region because “it is a close-knit community and the effects that ice and other illicit drugs has on these smaller communities are profound”.

“The impacts are more apparent in smaller towns where so many lives are impacted and we really want to try and make a difference in these communities,” A/Supt Cullen said.

“Generally smaller communities have limited access to support and

treatment services compared to cities and that’s why the effects of the use of illicit drugs are more profound in these communities.

“We want to disrupt supply across these communities but also across the whole region and state.”

A/Supt Cullen said that police are confronted daily with the impacts that drugs like ice have on people’s lives.

“Every day we are dealing with the devastating impacts that illicit drugs have on users but also on the wider community,” he told The Weekly.

“People who supply drugs do it for a business and they will produce as cheap and nasty as they can to make as much profits as they can - they will do whatever they can to maximise profits with no regard to the people’s lives which are impacted by their actions and we want that to stop.

“Members of the public should not feel bad about dobbing in drug dealers as they do not care about you or your family, they do not care if people become addicted, commit crimes to feed their habit, or overdose and die – they only care about the money they can make.”

The federal government-funded campaign follows what was described as the success of the initial “Dob in a Dealer” campaign, which ran from February 2016 to March 2017 and aimed at stopping Australia’s supply of illicit drugs including methylamphetamine (ice), cocaine, MDMA, heroin and cannabis.

Tweed Byron Police District Commander Acting Superintendent Brendon Cullen launching Dob in a Dealer

The campaign will see police and Crime Stoppers conduct intensive community-engagement activities particularly over the next month at different locations in NSW, with Murwillumbah the first in the state.

Statistics released last year from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research showed that convictions in the Tweed Shire for possession and use of amphetamines were up 10 per cent from 239 incidents to 267 from July 2017 to June 2018 while dealing and trafficking in ecstasy was up 31 per cent with 29 convictions in the year to June 2017 and 42 convictions to June 2018.

Mr Price said at the launch that responding to drug-related offences costs millions of dollars in healthcare and law enforcement as well as human lives.

“Someone’s son or daughter is likely to die today because of a drug dealer selling their poison for profit,” he said.

“We know from history that public support helps police intervene in criminal activity and disrupt organised crime gangs who are responsible for the manufacture and supply of these drugs.

“When this campaign was first launched in 2016, reports to Crime Stoppers about drug related activity increased by 126 per cent.

Mr Price said the police didn’t want to know who was making the calls, just what information they had on drug dealing.

“We’re asking you to be a mate and look out for the welfare of family, friends and colleagues by reporting to Crime Stoppers,” Mr Price said.

“Anything you have seen or heard that could relate to the import, manufacture or supply of illicit drugs and help police bring those responsible to justice.

NSW Minister for Police Troy Grant said in a media release that “he understands that people

may have reservations for fear of repercussions in reporting this type of activity to police, but please remember that any information you provide will be in confidence.

“There are often some tell-tale signs if a home is being used as a drug house, such as lights on at all hours of the day and night, cars and people arriving at odd times, or large drums and other equipment being disposed of at the property.”

“This is all about making our communities safer places for residents and their families. Any piece of information could help police in their fight against this scourge.”

Police are urging anyone with information on illicit drug dealing or manufacturing to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 for a confidential conversation, or report securely online at www. crimestoppers.com.au.

Back to School 23

10 Tips for a better start to the school year Back to school tip #1: Keep lunch boxes easy (for mum) While we all want to love and nurture our children by packing the best and most exciting lunch box possible, we also need to balance our aspirations against reality. Making sure morning routines are achievable and easy is the key to a successful lunch box, not the fanciness of your pinwheel sandwiches. It takes some time to find the right snack ideas the kids will love and you will find easy to prepare while there are other priorities to attend to.

Back to school tip #2: Create a laundry routine that works Washing. Oh so much laundry, washing and ironing to do. School brings new laundry management routines to stop dirty clothes baskets exploding before you get the chance to wash all those stained uniforms and dirty socks.

Back to school tip #3: Make mornings organised Trying to get out the door on

time when a school bell or a work commitment beckons makes for a stressful time before 9am. Clever

mums know that a morning routine that works is the key to starting the day happy, prepared and ready to leave the house with a smile.

Back to school tip #4: House work during term time should be eased A busy school year means less time washing the floors and tidying so you can spend time where it really counts. That might mean making extra minutes for homework help, reading the reader or sorting out the sports gear.

Back to school tip #5: Keep time Whether you’re trying to speed your kids up (to get them out the door, say) or slow them down (as they practice reading), clocks become a useful device once the kids reach school age. Explaining time, routines and showing the children how to read the time for themselves will give your kids the power to keep themselves organised.

Back to school tip #6: Ready, set breakfast A healthy nutritious breakfast not only puts kids in the right mood for learning, but blesses mothers with a righteous feeling of success that they managed to have their children eat

well at the right time of day. Kids as young as four or five can get a bowl of cold cereal for themselves, and as they get older they can learn to safely use the toaster or microwave.

Back to school tip #7: Problems are a learning experience Term time at school isn’t always perfect and our children don’t always behave like angels or the genius we had hoped they would be. School rules, expectations and social pressures can be too much for our kids and it’s not uncommon for problems to rear their head once children settle in to the school year. It can be anything from bullies to learning problems to physical problems that come up and unsettle us – be ready to embrace them!

Back to school tip #8: You are the best teacher Learning always starts at home and your child’s mood affects how well he learns. A positive outlook is the best thing you can inspire in your children to keep them performing well at school and willing to tackle their homework.

Mia & Noah Flanagan are ready to hit the books in 2019

Back to school tip #9: Labels, names and ownership

Back to school tip #10: Rules and behaviour

Label all your child’s belongings, especially the school hat. Encourage your child to dress themselves so they can manage things like taking jumpers or coats on and off at school. Explain the concept of “lost property” to your kids, so they know how to find lost items on their own.

Then cross your fingers and hope they have listened to you!

Schools have a range of approaches to reinforce the good behaviour measures taught by parents – so learn what they are and make sure you can back them up at home!

For students in the early years the focus will be on learning to work cooperatively with others and to follow instructions from the teacher.

It’s a mother’s job to remind and reinforce the school rules at home so kids understand why certain actions are unacceptable.

Cabarita Rodeo Spectacular a success A GREAT night was had by locals and visitors alike for the 2019 Cabarita Bull and Bronc Spectacular at the Cabarita Beach Pony Club Grounds on Friday, January 4.

More than 1,500 people packed the stands to enjoy the thrills and spills of

the event which featured bucking bulls and broncs, barrel racing, bull fighting clowns, comedy clown and much more.

A drop in the power did little to deter punters who were eager to see the spectacle of the bull riding.

The event is an annual fundraiser for Cudgen Leagues’ associated clubs

including junior and senior hockey, rugby league and cricket and the social bowls and golf clubs.

Another recipient of proceeds is the Cabarita Equestrian Centre’s Cabarita Beach Pony Club and Horsemen’s Association.

$30,000 raffle to launch Speed on Tweed fundraising

FUNDRAISING FOR Festival of Speed on Tweed is about to get underway after the committee voted to support the first step towards returning the once iconic historic racing event in September this year.

There’s still a lot of hurdles to get over for the fledgling committee to make the event a reality with the most important step funding - as the track costs alone are expected to reach as much as $170,000.

The first fundraising initiative is a raffle, called the Festival of Speed on Tweed 1000, with a cash prize of $30,000 up for grabs and the second prize a cruise on the Spirit of Wollumbin courtesy of Mount Warning Tours.

Festival of Speed on Tweed chair Tonny Van’t Riet said there are 1000 raffle tickets available to the public at $100 each.

Each raffle ticket also comes with a single one-day event pass, which is subject to the event going ahead.

“This is a great first start for the muchneeded funding to bring the event back but it’s just a start,” he said.

“We are also exploring a range of other fundraising including sponsorship packages, but we wanted to get something started as soon as possible, and the raffle is our best way forward.”

The raffle tickets are being printed by Print Spot in Murwillumbah on Monday, January 14, and will be available at Southern Cross Credit Union branches, Tweed Valley Weekly office on Queen Street and online via eventbrite.com.au.

Tips to save on fuel

NRMA HAS provided readers with some valuable advice to help improve your vehicle’s fuel consumption and stretch your holiday dollars further.

Tyres

One of the most commonly neglected areas of a vehicle, tyres are also the only connection between you and terra firma.

Your vehicle is likely to be loaded with gear, passengers and even a trailer, so before you check your tyre pressure, have a close look at the tyre placard fitted to your vehicle.

There will be a minimum and maximum pressure recommendation depending on the load - the maximum is the one to use. Check your spare, as well.

Unnecessary luggage

Festival of Speed on Tweed committee

Other locations for the raffle tickets are yet to be announced, but many local pubs, clubs and businesses are expected to take up a raffle book of between 10 to 20 tickets.

“We’re calling on local business to take on the raffle books as we are keen to sell these tickets as quickly possibly, if you can sell a book could please email ourspeedontweedraffle@gmail.com,” Tonny said.

The raffle will be drawn for the $30,000 winner and second prize on Saturday, March 16, at the Murwillumbah Soccer Club (35 Mooball Street) alongside a catch up with the committee and entertainment.

A website is also set to be launched for Festival of Speed on Tweed in the coming weeks as well as the highly anticipated

sponsorship packages, which are likely to including methods to promote local and national businesses on corners via banners.

Tonny said the committee remains confident it can make the event a reality in 2019, but stressed the need for support through the community and business community.

“We are moving quickly on the raffle and sponsorship packages and hope to have more information available as soon as possible,” he said.

“I’d like to encourage residents to those who can purchase a raffle ticket to do so and show their support.

“If you have any questions or would like more information on sponsoring the event please email ourspeedontweedraffle@gmail.com for more information.”

AUTOMOTIVE SUSPENSION & EXHAUST

Spring-clean the luggage compartment, even if it’s not spring!

Don’t keep heavy gear like golf clubs, your sports kit or tools in your vehicle if you’re not using them. Aim to pack light as extra weight increases fuel consumption, particularly in urban areas where you’re often accelerating and braking.

The NRMA has found that loading a vehicle up to its maximum-rated weight results in fuel consumption increasing by 24 per cent compared with an identical unladen vehicle.

Take off roof racks if they’re not required - they add to aerodynamic drag which increases fuel consumption by up to five per cent.

Service check

Most new cars have an indicator light to tell you when your next service is due, but it’s good to check how close the service is, especially if you’re going away for an extended period.

Check the lube sticker, usually affixed to the windscreen by your car servicing dealer, or the service booklet which should be stamped.

Don’t forget to have a full health-check done on your car battery, particularly if travelling during the cooler months which places additional stress on your battery. Check your oil too - is it time for an oil change?

Older cars (pre-1986) can go out of tune between services, increasing fuel consumption but even on newer vehicles with electronic engine management, replacing a dirty air filter can increase fuel consumption.

Plight of iconic kangaroo revealed in award winning documentary A FASCINATING documentary about the unique and often toxic relationship Australians have with the iconic kangaroo will screen at The Regent Cinema in Murwillumbah on Monday, January 14 at 6pm.

Kangaroo – A Love Hate Story was produced by a passionate team of researchers and film makers who reveal a range of shocking relationships with our emblematic animal including it facing extinction in some areas.

The Weekly caught up with codirector of the film Mick Mcintyre, who fielded a range of questions and provided some background around the critically acclaimed documentary.

“In making the film we travelled thousands of kilometres across the magnificent Australian landscape and were shocked by how much people wanted to get rid of the kangaroo - that the animal was a problem that had to be dealt with,” he said.

“However, at the same time the “symbol” of the kangaroo is proudly displayed on our coat of arms and used by top companies to promote their product.”

Mr Mcintyre said Kangaroo explores the complex and conflicting opinions around this unique marsupial that is at the centre of the

largest mass destruction of wildlife in the world.

“We interviewed indigenous Australians, scientists, commercial shooters, farmers, politicians, artists, wildlife-carers, chefs and activist,” he said.

“We weaved together an unsettling story for the world to see.

“Hearing from so many angles gives the audience the opportunity to come on the journey with us and make up their own minds.”

The film was shot in QLD, NSW, VIC, SA, as well as filming in countries that import kangaroo meat and skins such as the United Kingdom, USA, Russia and China.

Mr Mcintyre said commercial shooters also sell kangaroos to abattoirs who process the meat and skins for overseas export.

“In making the film we were shocked at the size of the commercial kangaroo industry, the killing of kangaroos for the meat and skins,” he said.

“To be exported overseas for pet food, human consumption and for shoes and handbags.”

The news is not good for the kangaroo, which is now facing areas of regional extinction. “ We h av e s e e n t h e l at e s t government raw data that shows both local and regional extinction is happening,” he said.

“Some populations in NSW and QLD are in steep decline.

SPECIAL EVENT SCREENING

Directors Kate McIntyre Clere and Michael McIntyre

“Commercial exploitation, habitat loss, road kill, longer droughts and farmers wanting to get rid of them has taken its toll.

“The future for kangaroos does not look good.”

The Weekly asked Mr Mcintyre how Tweed residents can get involved with preserving their local kangaroo population.

“Watch Kangaroo - A Love Hate Story, learn the new information that we have uncovered in four years of research,” he said.

“Host a screening of the film and sign the petition calling for a National Enquiry into the treatment of kangaroos.

“ Yo u c a n a l s o v i s i t w w w. kangaroothemovie.com for more info and beyond this speak up on behalf of the kangaroos, particularly when it comes to giving an alternative view to the propaganda that comes out of the government and media.”

Mr Mcintyre said kangaroos were now facing similar challenges as koalas across Australia.

“Yes, like the koalas kangaroos are losing the PR battle against development, habitat loss, urban expansion,” he said.

“In making this film we have learnt that Australia does not seem to value its wildlife.

“We think it’s time to shift our way of thinking - before it’s too late and make preserving our wildlife a priority.

“These beautiful slow reproducing mammals are our national treasure they are not a “problem” - they are part of what makes Australia unique.

“During the last 200 years Australia has had the worst rate of mammal extinction in the world “As Australians we want to turn that around - please join us.”

Showgirl zone finals to return to Murwillumbah FOR THE first time in 19 years, the Murwillumbah Showgrounds will host one of the seven zone championships for The Land Showgirl Competition on Saturday, March 16.

Each year the Showgirl Competition travels to seven different locations in search of the showgirl who will eventually be crowned the The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl.

The competition aims to find a young female ambassador for rural NSW and the agricultural show movement.

The winning showgirl of each local Show Society is selected by a panel of three judges and remains showgirl until the following year’s show.

The hopeful for the Tweed Shire this year is current Murwillumbah Showgirl Delani O’Brien, who has been busy

CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME?

Lee Israel was a New York writer who unfortunately became famous more for the crime she was involved in rather than for her writing – her most successful book was indeed her confessional autobiography titled Can You Ever Forgive Me? She had enjoyed some publishing success writing biographies of celebrities of the likes of Katharine Hepburn, Estée Lauder and others, but in the 90s’ her career started to decline, compounded by alcoholism and a personality that some found difficult. While researching a book about comedian Fanny Brice she found a couple of letters written by Brice which she stole from the library and sold to a local bookshop owner, embellishing one with a witty postscript of her own invention.

Eventually she ended up forging more than 400 letters from deceased authors and playwrights, and then stealing actual letters and autographed papers of celebrities from archives and libraries, replacing them with forged copies.

Even after being discovered and sentenced some of her forgeries were still being sold as authentic by reputable dealers.

Israel’s memoir has been turned into a movie by the same title, starring Melissa McCarthy in her best performance to date. The film has won many awards including a Golden Globe nomination for best actress for McCarthy, while Richard E. Grant has been nominated as best supporting actor for his role as a fellow alcoholic who becomes both a friend and an accomplice of Israel, assisting the writer in selling the letters after the dealers start to get suspicious.

The two actors make a fabulous duo of outsiders hilariously passing judgment on polite society and taking platonic comfort in each other’s company despite the squalor of their life’s circumstances and environment. With the result that, in the words of a film critic, Israel comes across as “a woman not just forgivable but downright lovable”.

studying the agricultural sector and preparing for the zone trials.

“I am the 2018 Murwillumbah Agricultural Showgirl and I’m really excited to be taking part in the zone event,” she said.

She added that during her campaign for the title she was surrounded by likeminded local ladies.

“These great ladies shared in my passion and interest in agriculture and our home communities, with an eagerness to learn attitude,” she said.

“I attended zone judging finals in Coffs Harbour, without progressing further to the Sydney royal show in 2016.

“However, the opportunity to attend zone saw me create many friendships and memories I will hold forever.”

Miss O’Brien said being the 2018 Murwillumbah Showgirl had provided her with many opportunities I could only have dreamt of, including deportment classes in Dubbo along with other showgirls, allowing myself to be immersed within my community and was given an opportunity to connect with our community on a closer level,” she said.

“I am also able to use this as a platform to educate and teach others around the areas I feel passionately about.

“This year I stood beside five amazing young woman and saw them all grow immensely, which is why showgirl movement is a great way to get involved within the community and allows young women to engage with peers and to personally develop skills that can be used in later life.”

Miss O’Brien said this year she hopes to meet with local farmers and see behind the scenes of our agricultural sector.

“As well as meeting prized stock and tasting Tweed’s amazing foods,” she said.

“I am already enjoying my time as showgirl and look forward to seeing what the rest of this year brings.

“I would like to wish everybody a happy and healthy new year and hope to see you all at our local Murwillumbah Show on November 1-2.”

This year the Murwillimbah Show Society will be hosting the zone one judging finals from which the girls come as far as Gloucester and as west as Wingham and in between.

The successful showgirls will then compete against the remaining zone finalists at the Sydney Royal Show.

Get ready for MAT19

By Megan Albany FOR REGULAR Murwillumbah Arts Trail attendees, the Trail Map has become an iconic part of the festival which highlights the work of local painters, sculptors, performance artists and musicians.

With the closing date for Expressions of Interest for MAT19 fast approaching, Creative Director Dev Lengel is encouraging artists to complete their applications before the Saturday, February 16, deadline.

While there may be some returning artists, Mr Lengel said he is always looking for emerging artists and, with this year’s trail also featuring performance artists and musicians, Mr Lengel said his job will be harder than ever.

“The role of a curator is always difficult, especially in a case like this where I am presented with a whole range of artwork and then I have to try to fit it all together,” Mr Lengel said.

“I would like to see the bar raised yet again this year while still not making it impossible for emerging artists. It’s a fine line and curating it puts me in an unenviable position.”

While it is called the Murwillumbah Arts Trail, artists are accepted from the broader Tweed and Northern Rivers region.

“This year we are once again opening up to artists in the greater Northern Rivers,” he said.

“Last year we had artists from up at Ocean Shores and Byron to as far away as Bilambil Heights and this year we will continue to cast the net a little wider.”

The festival, which takes place from May 17-26, also recently launched a new website with a logo featuring a painting of the Condong Sugar Mill titled ‘Cloud Factory’ by local artist Jenny Sayer.

Ms Sayer has been a featured artist in the Murwillumbah Arts Trail since its inception four years ago.

“I remembered that Jenny had this wonderful painting of the sugar mill and I asked her if we could use it to publicise the arts trail,” Mr Lengel said.

“Jenny was also the first artist to submit an application to come through for this year’s expression of interest so that was really cool.”

The new website was also used to launch the theme for this year’s arts trail which is ‘Now I See It Now You Don’t’.

“This year’s theme is all about making arts all-inclusive for everyone that’s involved in the arts,” Mr Lengel said.

“Being an arts professional who is always trying to engage the public in art, I am very aware of how differently people see art, so I thought that would be quite an interesting subject to bring to the fore. Like last year’s theme, this year’s theme just came to me in a light bulb moment.”

While there have been no official announcements of performers as yet, Mr Lengel said there were some interesting performance art pieces that were being

considered due to their ability to highlight the theme for the year.

“We’re definitely going to have some performance art,” Mr Lengel said.

“We may have somebody that just carries a whole lot of suitcases through the town to amplify the transiency of Murwillumbah and the arrival and departure of people throughout MAT19. We’re also considering a performance where somebody draws a chalk line right throughout town as a continuum to connect the whole town but there is also the possibility that this may be washed away the next day - so it’s all about the whole ebb and flow.”

Mr Lengel, who will be the Creative Director for the Festival for the second year running said he wasn’t worried if the performance art, music or art wasn’t to everyone’s taste.

“Some people might say, ‘What are you doing a bloody chalk line there for?’ but they don’t have to like it, no one has to like art,” he laughed.

“As a curator I am also making a trail for the people who don’t really get art. I don’t want to push anybody out by the weirdness of performance art, they don’t have to like it, but it’s just about giving them a bit of an understanding.”

Having spent twenty years as a creative director and curator, Mr Lengel said he could see that the arts was having a big impact on the culture and economy of Murwillumbah.

“Murwillumbah is now such a burgeoning arts community, with the opening of M-Arts and the Downtown gallery, the town is starting to become a cultural destination,” he said.

“Cultural tourism rocks and we showed that last year by turning over $80,000 of artwork alone, let alone the economic increase that the visitors to the town provided.”

Mr Lengel said that the business model for galleries for MAT18 relied on utilising vacant shops that were sitting empty or for sale or for rent.

“Last year we had exhibitions in five shops and after the arts trail finished all of those shops were either leased or sold which proves that cultural tourism works,” he said. “We are still looking for shops for this years MAT19.”

While the program is still being worked on and no official announcements could be made at the time of print, Mr Lengel said the focus would be on bringing together the performing and visual arts.

“It’s about giving each artform their individual pedestal but then melding them and letting the arts support each other,” Mr Lengel said.

“Unfortunately, no announcements can be made until the money is in the bank but what I can tell you is that this year, when it comes to music, we may have more in the classical realm, as well as some experimental stuff and some good old fashioned folk and rock.”

Boyd’s Shed reopen to public THE TWEED Regional Museum has recently reopened the iconic Boyds’ Shed built by the Boyd family on the banks of Terranora Inlet in 1906.

The opening has resurfaced a lot of fond memories for locals with many residents sharing memories of the shed.

Boyd ancestors were among the earliest Tweed Shire cedar getters in the 1840s, and there are several local landmarks named after the family.

Many locals remember the Boyd Brothers and the red fishing shed which originally stood on the shores of Boyds’ Bay at Tweed Heads.

The shed was the base for the family’s commercial fishing operations from the 1920s to the 1960s and also became well known as a place for social gatherings.

It was moved to the current site in 1996 to save it from the encroachment of Kennedy Drive.

The heritage-listed building is the last remaining fishing shed in the area and together with the original Tweed Heads Court House and the Deck House, makes up the Tweed Regional Museums’ Tweed Heads branch at Pioneer Park on Kennedy Drive, Tweed Heads West.

AQUAMAN

WEEK FROM THU 17 TO WED 23 JANUARY 2019 (subject to change)

Museum Director Judy Kean said the shed had lost none of its atmosphere and charm.

“While inside enjoying displays, it’s impossible not to smell the sea and hear the water lapping against the pylons and the sound of passing boats - not to mention spotting fish and stingrays swimming in the shallows out the back windows,” Ms Kean said.

The Tweed Heads branch of the Museum is open every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday from 10am to 4pm (NSW time).

LOCALS AND visitors flocked to the Tweed River Jockey Club on Sunday, January 9, sponsored by the Pottsville Beach Sports Club.

Featured Business

Gidday Im Len Prince. I’ve worked at Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah for the DMT, RTA, RMS and SNSW since 1987 and 24 years as a driver tester from cars to semitrailers. “Practically a local”.

Rather than waste the knowledge and experience after being made redundant in sept 2018. I had my instructors’ licence by November, worked for /with a local school for 12 months and now I’m out on my own. There is a vast difference between being adequate to pass a driving test and having a full knowledge of vehicle controls and the skills and responsibilities required by the modern motorist.

Licences can bring joy, freedom, independence and employment opportunities but if disrespected will cause despair, heartache, injury or worse.

Driving can and should be fun but its not a game. Far too often there are dire consequences from inattentive, over confident or lazy drivers, Young and old. If you want to impress your mates with your driving, get them home safely every time, their parents and families will also be grateful.

For good value, thorough instruction in a friendly and relaxed environment. If you mention the Weekly, you get $10.00 off your first lesson. Contact me on 0431 960 983.

Friends of the Regent Cinema Group forms Free tech course for seniors PENNY RICCI and Adam Kelly from Palm Beach were visiting the Regent Cinema in Murwillumbah for special screenings during the recent Byron Bay Film Festival and were lucky enough to win two free movies passes and a bottle of wine.

The raffle was organised by three regular cinemagoers Karen Dawson, Jan Lobban and Gwyneth Trysant, as part of their plan to develop a Friends of the Regent Group.

“We know that many regional independent cinemas are supported by a “Friends Group” which helps through activities such as helping with promotions,” Karen said.

“So when Gwyneth, Jan and I realised The Regent was up for sale, we decided to find out what support there is in Murwillumbah for the cinema to keep showing art house movies and recent releases.”

After spending a week at The Regent surveying patrons, with a free raffle as an extra incentive, Karen, Gwyneth and Jan were delighted with the huge amount of community support. The Regent now has 150 new friends and still counting.

“We love independent cinema and were delighted to win the raffle,” Penny said.

“We will definitely be back soon to redeem our prize.

“We’ll be keen to support the new Friends of the Regent group in 2019 in any way we can.”

The survey found that many new residents to the area had cited the

T W I N T OW N S a n d AC E Community Colleges are offering a free course to help seniors unlock the mystery of smart phones, iPads and tablets, learn how to shop and bank online, and engage with family and friends via social media and skype.

Delivered in partnership with the NSW Government and Telstra, Tech Savvy Seniors provides free training to help older people learn to make the most of the digital world.

The Tech Savvy Seniors program proves age is no barrier to learning about the online world, with one graduate and Twin Towns member, Harry Birkin, completing the course just a few days shy of 100 years young.

Training modules in each five-week course include an introduction to the internet, cyber safety, social media and online shopping.

Ro by n Ke e n a n f ro m AC E Community Colleges said the

course is aimed at beginners and no experience is necessary.

“We hope our Tech Savvy Seniors course helps take away the fear and shows seniors just how easy new technology is to use and how it can improve their lives,” she said.

“Our participants will learn to communicate via email and we’ll also show them how to set up a Facebook account and use it to communicate with family and friends.”

Each Tech Savvy Senior course runs for five weeks and all classes are held in the ANZAC Room at Twin Towns. Courses are available during March, April and May and bookings are essential.

These courses are extremely popular and will fill quickly so register now to avoid missing out.

Call Maria at ACE Community Colleges on 07 5520 3026 to discuss the dates book your spot.

Penny Ricci and Adam Kelly from Palm Beach being awarded their prize by Regent Cinema Owner Ken Rippin and Karen Dawson, Friends Group working party.

Regent Cinema as a reason for choosing to live in Murwillumbah.

“Many of those who signed our survey were used to attending independent cinemas, and recognise The Regent as a local oasis of culture,” Karen said.

“For a large number of newer locals, the existence of a quality art house cinema was a factor in deciding to live in Murwillumbah rather than elsewhere in the Tweed.

“A small working party has formed to take the Friends’ concept further.

Our aim is to support the cinema to become part of a cultural hub in the Tweed Valley/Gold Coast region.

“We expect that 2019 will see us well on the way towards that aim.”

Holding with Shot Judy Tuckey HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. May you all enjoy a healthy, safe and successful 2019 on the greens.

The Summerland Series, conducted at Ballina during the past couple of weeks, certainly provided a great start to our new bowling year. Considering the high calibre contenders from around the country in the mix, and whilst not taking out any top honours, a number of our district bowlers who entered the tournament most certainly delivered credible performances.

With the Pairs, the first principal being contested, Byron Bay’s Gavin McPhail and his Sth. Lismore partner Rex Foster cleaned up in their section winning all three games to be included in the last 16 standing. Playing strongly, the lads progressed to the semi-finals only to be eliminated by the runners-up in this event. The Bay’s Sam Skehan with Sth.

The year is starting with a bang!

Premier League, Premier Sevens start on Saturday 12 January, Tweed Valley Shield on Monday 14 January

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals Brisbane’s Rod Dixon also put in a top performance in winning their section and progressed to the quarter finals but were taken out by team McPhail. Terry Lee and Dennis Williams won two games in their section. John Nasser with Bulla Burton and the Rowan Norris-Darren Black combination were reduced to one sectional game win each.

The Summerland Singles also yielded excellent performances from our District contenders. Pottsville’s George Moore, the only lady from our District to contest this event, toughed out three hard games in her section. Whilst challenging strongly George lost to Dale McWhinney (runner-up in the pairs) in Game 1 but then kept Ballina’s Alf Boston on the ropes in a nail biting Game 2 to be on 20-20. Last end and holding three shots, George was unlucky to be snookered by Boston’s last bowl that trailed the jack back to claim shot. Game 3 resulted in a comfy win for George. A brilliant effort from this very fine bowler.

Cabarita’s Rowan Norris and Byron Bay’s Gavin McPhail both swept all before them in the section and post section

Byron’s Sam Skehan went through to the last 16 in the “Silvers” following his strong performance in the preliminaries and was eliminated in the quarter finals by the runner up in this class.

Cudgen go into 20/20 semi finals on top of ladder IT WAS a big weekend in the 20/0 LJ Hooker League with Murwillumbah, Pottsville and Cudgen all playing their final rounds before the finals begin at Reg Dalton Oval on Saturday, January 5.

First up was Cudgen playing against Pottsville, minus Caleb Ziebell who was away at the Toyota Australian Country Championships.

Cudgen won the toss and batted first with Alec Williams top scoring on 65 and Jamie Wilson managing 27 with the team all out for 131.

Jayden Hoare’s bowling for Pottsville was outstanding, taking 4/6 and putting a stop to Williams run. Tait Burns took 3/30 while Ryan McCloy took 2/19.

Pottsville went in to the chase well with Tait Burns top scoring on 53 and Jamie Bennett making 20 but

the bowling of Connor Ziebell with 4/21 saw Pottsville come up short with 128 runs.

Cudgen took on Murwillumbah next, winning the toss and batting with some great work from Williams (78) Connor Ziebell and Conor McDowall (38 each) for a combined total of 6/189 at the end of the 20 overs.

Sid Ewing was the pick of the bowlers for the Panthers, taking 3/25 and Ben Champley taking two catches.

Will Chapples top scored with 50 runs for Murwillumbah but Damien King (3/2) and Tim Spencer (2/26) helped Cudgen to the win with the Panthers all out for 92.

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC - Keith Kennedy DURING THE holiday period the NSW Lifeguard Service has employed an extra 380 lifesavers. Of these 65 are working on Tweed Shire locations from Duranbah to South Pottsville. We continue to urge people not to swim at unpatrolled beaches and bathe in the flagged areas.

A tragic example was the drownings of four persons at Moonee Beach just north of Coffs Harbour last month.

In surf and fresh water there has been 48 drownings to date. Over the Christmas/New Year there has been 780 surf rescues. (NSW 2017-18 drownings figures).

December figures for our patrols were nine rescues, 27 preventative actions, one search and one first aid. Over New Year a further 47 preventative actions and 17 first aids were performed, which were mainly for blue bottle stings.

Congratulations to our newly qualified members. Bronze Medallion to Patrick McLaughlin, Jessica Chapman, Kane Goldsworthy. Surf Rescue Certificate: Elizabeth Warne, Sam Fog, Taj Dougherty, Rosie Taylor, Ashlee Batters and thanks to their instructors and examiners.

Pottsville scored the 54 runs for the win with only two wickets lost (taken by Adam Melville and Declan Brooks) and Tait Burns top scoring with 27 not out and taking the prized Pottsville Pelican of the Week ( along with Brodie McDowell) for his great work over the day.

Ian Rowlings was the top bowler for Terranora, taking 4/29 while Matt Sutton and Corey Fisher took two each.

Pottsville played Byron Bay at Seabreeze with Byron batting first.

Despite some great bowling from the Tweed boys with Bronson Fresen taking three wickets and Troy Thoms and Lucas Buckman taking two each, the Bay finished on 9/241 largely due to the brilliant batting of Mitch Loan who scored a century.

Master Mariner Bill Fenelon Sets Sail At the helm with Bill Fenelon

ON NEW YEAR’S Eve 2018 Greens candidate and Master Mariner Captain Bill Fenelon took command of Tall Ship ‘South Passage’ on Sydney Harbour to participate in the Sydney ‘Harbour of Lights Parade’. On board the ship this night were families from Uki and Fingal Head.

On 8 January Fenelon will again command ‘South Passage’ on a sail training voyage from Sydney to Brisbane with a group of 24 youth, completing the ‘Gold Duke of Edinburgh’ Award. The youths will learn to crew the ship and stand sea watches 24 hours a day throughout the 10-day voyage.

‘South Passage’ is owned by the notfor-profit organisation, the Sail Training Association of Queensland, and Fenelon has been a captain of this ship for over 12 years. Fenelon said, “The ship is a 100 foot, Gaff rigged schooner, similar in design to sailpowered trading schooners from the 1900s. It is totally traditional in its operation, requiring physical effort to raise sails, trim sails and even the anchor is lifted using manual effort,” ‘South Passage’ is expected to pass by Tweed Heads on approximately 16 January.

Fingal Head resident Bill Fenelon founded and leads the Tweed Valley Sailing Club,

focused on youth development through sailing. He is the Club Commodore and has also developed a programme to enable those with disabilities to enjoy sailing as a sport.

“Having sailed the globe as a Master Mariner, I am proud to call the Tweed home and am passionate about retaining its unique natural beauty and ambiance,” said Fenelon.

Motivated by community interests and protection of our unique, pristine environment, upon his return Bill Fenelon will embark on a political journey as the Greens candidate in the March 2019 state election.

Takes the

2019 Single Fin Tapped in to the waves

With Terry Tappa’ Teece

WHAT A MAGIC weekend it was at Burleigh Heads for the 22nd Burleigh Boardriders Single Fin Classic. Joel Parkinson has completed his victory lap on retirement, with his second win, the first time he won was in 2017 whilst still on tour. All competitors were on surfboards made before 1985, and were single fins, in a hark back to the golden days of the 60s, 70s, and 1980s.

The surf and the surfing over two days of the event was brilliant, with the Burleigh Heads rockbreak really turning it on for the event, with some crazy barrels and turns just inches above the basalt boulders that line Burleigh Headland. The final was held out the back on the low tide and the surfing was just brilliant, with two former winners, both former World Tour surfers, Joel Parkinson and Jay “Bottle” Thompson fighting it out for the win, with two other Burleigh surfers, James Woods and World number 96 Liam O’Brien, North End stalwarts Tai “Budda” Graham and Chris Brookes holding the flag for the Northerners.

Parko was always in the hunt, but the three Burleigh lads held the lead, until in the last two minutes Parkinson found a bomb set, threw in two amazing turns and got the score to

lock up the win from Thompson, Woods, O’Brien, Graham, and Brookes respectively. Chris Brookes also won the most stylish surfer of the event, and Anthony Pols scored best tube and best wave of the event with a perfect 10 point ride.

Parkinson was stoked with the win and will be back again next year, thanking the organisers, the crowd, and the Burleigh Boardriders for putting on the event. He won an Ian Byrne handshaped single fin surfboard and a trophy. The event is all about the glory and good times, and thus why it is so popular over the last 22 years.

The Heritage Heat was an amazing one to watch with Tom Carrol showing he is ageless, winning the event on a Dick Van Straalen single fin, dedicating the win to his late, great mate Joe Engle and by coincidence many of Joe’s old boards were being surfed over the weekend. Rob Bain picked up second, continuing his winning streak over Cheyne Horan in 3rd, local legend Guy Omerod was 4th, Occy 5th, USA lad Brad Gerlach 6th, and 1980 Stubbies winner Peter Harris was 7th.

The Juniors were surfing boards that were almost older than their parents, and Burleigh super-grom Hinat Aizawa got the win from Yamba surfer Dakota Walters. Another Burleigh grom Josh Cameron-McDonald place 3rd, with the Australian

Junior Champion and Kingscliff Boardrider, Micah Margison placing 4th. The kids were ripping on the old boards and elder statesmen were amazed with what the kids were doing.

The ladies were much the same with Snapper Rocks teenage sensation Pacha Light winning from Elanora surfer Ellie Brooks. The girls surfed with great style, and the crowd just loved it. There were up to 6,000 people on Burleigh Headland watching the action, it was an awesome weekend. All the surfers and celebrities were keen to come back next year and continue the fun.
