Special Feature...

Powerful New Ways to Save with Solar

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

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

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

Cash in on Solar Incentives

Power Prices Going Up Again

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

Match the Solar Energy to Your Power Use

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

The Federal Government is still offering Small technology Certificates (STC’s) that greatly reduce the upfront cost of new solar panels. Every year you get less STC’s, so it is better act now while the benefit is Sell Your Power for Profit higher.to888 Solar Tek make it easy to The solar feed in tariff is now 12-15c claim your benefit by doing all the per kWh, which means you can sell excess paperwork and trading them on your power to the grid to cover your night time behalf, giving you an up front discount energy use and daily supply charge. If you on your new solar system. The rules produce and sell enough power, the change all the time and you need the electricity company will owe you money! right equipment to get money back As prices go up you will get more and from adding solar to your home. more for the excess electricity you sell.

Get Around Network Rules

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

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

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

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

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

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

Panel Level Optimization

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

Long Term Warranties

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

Slash Your Hot Water Bill with a Sanden Eco Plus System

If Essential Energy will let you export 5 kWh or more to the grid, then stacking your The Sanden Eco Plus® Hot Water Heat roof with as many solar panels as possible will work well for you. If export is limited, consider storing extra power in a battery bank for night time use. A combination of solar Pump System use up to 80% less for export, self use maximised during the day and battery storage is a great strategy to energy than conventional electric bring your bill closer to zero for medium households with 3-4 people. water heaters.

Dylan Southgate helped rescue a stricken swimmer at Ocean Shores on the weekend

just next to a large rock, so fortunately I was able to reach down and help pull him out of the water,” he said. James said the pair were yelling at the man to avoid the rocks, but his exhaustion meant the man had little energy to resist the strong current and heavy swell which thrashed him against the sharp rocks. Dylan estimated that it could have been another 20 seconds and the man would have slipped beneath the waves and drowned. “It was so close,” he said. “He was completely exhausted and couldn’t even move, he was completely limp

when we eventually got him up the rocks – couldn’t even lift his head.” Dramatic images (pictured) show the man slumped on the rocks as he dropped in and out of consciousness. Brunswick Surf Life Savers were quickly on the scene and called for the man to get into the rescue boat. “He wasn’t able to get back in the water to be rescued, so me and my mate helped carry him off the rocks,” Dylan said. The pair carried the stricken visitor about 20 metres along the rock wall before they reached a rescue team. “We then placed him on the spinal board and carried him

a further 400 metres,” Dylan said. The stricken swimmer was taken by ambulance to hospital and sustained deep lacerations to his legs. Brunswick Surf Life Saving President Craig Reid said the pair were lucky to survive. “We’d just received a brandnew Inflatable Rescue Boat at the time and we raced over there to pick them up,” he said. Mr Reid said the three men, two believed to be from the Gold Coast and one from England, had decided to swim in a dangerous section of water next to the break wall. “Because this is such a dangerous area, the rip has carried them out to sea and the tide, which was coming in at the time, has forced them into the river mouth,” he said. “It’s not something that happens often as most people do not swim outside the flagged area, which is further south down the beach away from this area.” M r Re i d h a s u rg e d swimmers to be cautious in dangerous seas and to always swim between the flags. “It’s timely reminder as Easter is approaching that people should swim between the flags and be mindful of where they’re swimming at all times,” he said.

STOKERS SIDING resident Dylan Southgate and Burringbar resident James Walker are being heralded as local heroes for their part in helping rescue a stricken man in rough seas off the Brunswick River mouth, on Saturday, March 24. Dylan said he was fishing off the iconic break wall with his mate James on the Ocean Shores side of the Brunswick River mouth, when he noticed a man floating with his head just above the water. “I was shocked at first to see someone in the water during such rough conditions,” he said. “Then I realised the guy was in real trouble, as he was being washed against the rocks.” Dylan said the man, believed to be an English tourist, was swimming at a nearby beach with two other young men, all of whom had been dragged out by a powerful rip. “We saw two of them swimming and both were dragged out to sea,” Dylan said. “The first guy was picked up by the Brunswick Surf Life Savers and they were searching for the second and third.” Dylan said he waited for a break in the waves and reached into the water and pulled the man to safety while James assisted. “There was a break in the waves and he’d popped up

Call for flood inquiry

As we reflect this week on the first year anniversary of the devastating 2017 Murwillumbah flood that directly claimed at least five lives and impacted on hundreds more, there are a few things we as a community need to consider. Some people in our midst will never fully recover, both psychologically or financially. The calls for a memorial may have some merit but a more important thing that needs to happen is the NSW Government to stop sitting on their hands and invoke an Independent Parliamentary Inquiry into the disaster, similar to last week’s announcement in reference to the South Coast Tathra fires. Three days after that event an inquiry was announced, yet no lives were lost in that disaster. If the Tweed Shire Council had any decency they would be pushing for an inquiry yet they remain mute. Might have something to do with their woeful preparedness and self promotion post the flood. Our local State Member Thomas George hasn’t retired yet, so I urge people to contact his office and ask the question. Why the reluctance to hold an independent inquiry into the Murwillumbah 2017 flood event? Paul Taylor, Murwillumbah I totally disagree with the opinions of Mayor Milne and Michelle Grimes, both of whom would try to have the local ratepayers believe that there is extreme watersports being carried out on the Tweed River endangering passive users. All boat drivers must be licensed and have to pass a test before being allowed to drive a ski/wake boat. There are rules that we must follow, similar to road rules with

variations. Some of these rules keep boats a safe distance from passive users and maritime officers patrol the river to keep check on this. Yet passive river users are free to cross in front of an oncoming ski boat and expect that the boat will turn to avoid the rower. Would you do this on the road and expect a truck driver to be as courteous? Mrs Grimes would have you believe that there are no restrictions upstream of the Condong bridge. As a member of the rowing club she would be aware that there is no towing/ skiing before 8am in this area as passive users have exclusive use before 8am (except for fishing boats) and upstream of the Commercial Road boat ramp has a total ski ban in place. When there is a rowing regatta, rowers also have exclusive use of this area via an aquatic license. I live on the river and are unable to use the river in front of my house during these times. Surely the rowing club should have a code of ethics and duty of care to inexperienced rowers to wear life vests if they expect such danger from wake boats and have a briefing with rowers to attempt to follow basic river rules so that all users have a safe experience. But as I have never witnessed a rower in a rowing skull wearing a life vest, I can only assume that the danger that Mrs Grimes would have you believe? In fact is nothing more than an attempt to try to limit the use of certain areas for a minority group. As for the erosion issue that Mrs Grimes would have you believe is from wake boats, I think the flood event of March 2017 would put that argument to bed for good. Yes Council (ratepayers) are paying for erosion control along the river to stabilise the road (also subsidised by Federal Government grants) but that is a necessity when you build a road right beside a river that floods every year (mother nature causes erosion). When this road was previously the national highway the Federal Government payed for all of the upkeep of this road, but I am happy as a ratepayer that we don’t have the constant stream of trucks that was previously the norm. The river is for the use of all Australians and visitors, not only for a minority group that attempts to sway public opinion. Paul Gilmore, Murwillumbah

High school was a drawcard

I can’t understand how anyone could have not known that there

was a high school planned for the Seabreeze estate, we moved to Pottsville in 2003 and whilst looking to buy land from the initial development they were touting the future high school as a positive for the area. I can understand that since the land and or homes are now being sold on by previous owners that the information about the school may be a bit clouded. But it has been planned for from the start and is needed, buyers need to do their research and understand the things that will affect them before putting their cash on the table. It’s like buying a house under a flight path for an airport and then wanting the airport closed because of the noise. As to the need for more homes in Seabreeze estate, I can’t see it myself, Pottsville needs amenities before more homes. Dunloe Park will see another 6,000 people living in Pottsville in the foreseeable future. As has been pointed out there are enough hassles for high school students to overcome now let alone in 10 years when there will be substantially more. Then there are the other developments for the South Tweed area that will necessitate existing high schools taking students from their more local areas, with Pottsville being further away our children will need to be taught somewhere else so why not here in Pottsville at the high school that has been on the cards for the beginning. Andrew Haywood, Pottsville

Seabreeze high school a must

Yes, I believe the site in Seabreeze should be retained for a school, hopefully a high school. There are already two primary schools functioning in Pottsville and it is difficult for me to believe that another could be viable at this stage. The site was originally shown in the DA approved in September 2000 as a “possible school site” and Metricon’s sales brochures not only identified the area as a “school site” but added a reference that read “Development Application Approved” (which was not correct). Since there was already an expanding state primary school in existence, buyers of lots may have reasonably assumed, or were led to assume, that their children would progress to a nearby high school after leaving the primary school. It is difficult to believe that any residents of lots in Seabreeze may reasonably now claim that they were unaware of the possibility of a school, with its

accompanying traffic, becoming a future neighbour. There has been so much publicity through the newspapers and Facebook over a number of years and this is not the first time that Newlands has sought a DA to subdivide the site into residential lots. Although the Education Department does not currently accept that a state high school is warranted in Seabreeze, its policy could change in future years especially when the large subdivisional development in Dunloe Park eventuates. In its notes prepared for the Tweed Shire Council workshop in March 2015, the developer did not state that it would provide any land for schools but implied that it would rely on the two primary schools and a potential high school in Pottsville to fulfil the educational needs. The developer even stated that, given the additional population generated by development of Dunloe Park, an opportunity to plan for and ultimately provide for a high school in Seabreeze Estate will arise. You are seeking the views of readers on the issue and you have already given publicity to a small number of negative persons. However, it should be noted that on February 1, 2017 there was a petition lodged with the NSW Government seeking a High School on the site and the petition was signed by 2,613 persons. It seems sensible that the Council takes a long-term view and again declines to approve the carving up of the area as a residential subdivision. Bryan Threlfall, Pottsville

Please keep kids off road

Today (Friday, March 23), my husband - who fortunately is a very careful driver and drives slowly around Pottsville streets had to brake hard and suddenly to avoid hitting a child who darted onto the road in front of him from between two parked cars. Because the child was sitting on a scooter, he was very hard to see. Had we been travelling anywhere near the speed limit, we could not have avoided a collision. When I later approached the mother, telling her to keep her children off the road, her response was ‘’it’s because they don’t have a backyard’’. What a shameful response. Parents who allow children to play or run on the road are guilty of criminal child neglect and reckless endangerment of a child. This issue should not be sugarcoated. Children’s lives are at risk.

Sadly, though, if an unfortunate driver fails to avoid a collision, the driver’s life will be ruined forever while the negligent parent will be showered with sympathy. This mother’s response was disgraceful. It reflects both gross parental negligence and complete contempt for the poor drivers whose lives, and whose family’s lives, would be completely destroyed should an accident occur. This is the third time my husband has had to brake or swerve sharply because a child was playing dangerously on the road in Pottsville. He has also had to endanger us to avoid hitting a dog straying on the road. I am aware of many other drivers expressing similar concerns. I did appeal to police to address this issue, but sadly their response was ‘’call when it happens’’ which, given that phones are frequently not answered due to understaffing, and it would take probably 40 minutes for a patrol car to reach the scene, is of no help. Perhaps school teachers will take up the issue and educate children? Perhaps responsible parents and grandparents will speak out at P&C and community meetings, letting negligent parents know that their behaviour is not acceptable. I appeal to every citizen to be mindful of road safety and do everything possible to educate children and to chastise strongly those negligent parents who are jeopardising both their children’s lives and the lives and future happiness of drivers and their families. Please act before a tragedy happens. Our children are precious. They deserve protection. Lorraine Cobcroft, Pottsville

School zone safety

Although the Hare Krishna school that Belinda Grace wrote about (TVW February 22/March 22) is 1.5kms from Tyalgum Road, the access to the school is on Tyalgum Road. With increased traffic as parents drop off or pick up their children from school, they should have the safety of a reduced speed zone. I live on a side street where the school’s sports field has a rarely used, locked service gate at the rear of the school. You never see children there, but the side street still has “school zone” signage. Peter Norman,Crystal Creek Send your letters to editor@ theweekly.net.au.

Projects to revitalise Murwillumbah’s CBD and watersports motion withdrawn A controversial motion by Mayor Katie Milne to ban extreme water sports on the Tweed River was withdrawn at last Thursday’s Council meeting (March 22). The motion had called for Council to not support extreme water sports such as wakeboarding or other water-based activities that have a “high impact on other passive waterway recreation users or marine life and/or creates erosion of the banks of the waterways”.

Gold Coast Airport noise

While Cr Chris Cherry did not attend last week’s meeting due to being at a conference, she did put forward a motion that Council writes to Air Services Australia asking for a noise monitor to be placed at Tweed Heads West following ongoing noise complaints from the community. “Considerable concern has been raised in the community about the increased noise levels people are experiencing at the southern end of the airport and the lack of any consistent monitoring of this over the last period of nearly 10 years since the noise monitor at the West Tweed Heads wastewater treatment plant was removed,” Cr Cherry’s motion reads. “It is a requirement for airports to provide measured noise levels from their airports and at this stage measured noise levels from the southern end of the round runway and not been provided. “This issue has been raised consistently in the community consultative committee for the airport and needs to be finalised. “It is in the interests of the community at the southern end of

the runway that this noise monitor is in place prior to the relocation of the runway 300m further to the south and anything council can do to help this process to occur should be done.” Th motion was unanimously supported by councillors.

Kingscliff skate park

The timeline for a round table discussion regarding a proposed skate park at Kingscliff will be decided at Council’s April 5 meeting. Cr Ron Cooper had initially moved to hold a discussion by the end of April, however, proposed the motion to deferred until next week’s meeting. A report accompanying the motion stated that Council is planning to undertake consultation regarding their Open Space Strategy (OSS) between June and September which could include round table sessions. “Council officers will embark on an extensive community engagement process on the draft OSS,” the report reads. “This will include community engagement activities with young people and the broader community on youth recreational facilities. “This can include round table sessions in each local area if this is the direction provided by Council.”

Parking petition

Tweed Shire councillors were presented with a petition from residents of Diamond Place, Tweed Heads calling for action on parking. The petition containing 11 signatures stated that an increasing number of cars are parking in Diamond Place as a means of accessing Kennedy Drive Plaza.

“The residents of Diamond Place would like to bring to the council’s attention the amount of traffic now using the cul-de-sac for all day parking for the Kennedy Drive Plaza and as a turning point to enter the shopping centre car park, which is often done at speed,” the petition reads. “ C u rre n t ly t h e re is a “ N o Stopping” sign on the right-hand entrance to Diamond Place however this is having little effect on people using it for parking.”

Artificial surfing reef

Tweed Shire Council will support a proposal to develop an artificial surfing reef at Kingscliff, near Murphy’s Road, following a rescission motion tabled by Cr James Owen. Councillors voted in July 2017 to not provide in principle support for the surf reef “due to estimated costs in the order of $100,000 not being appropriate in the current post flood financial circumstances”. However, Cr Owen said that Council could support a Cooperative Research Centre Grant for the reef at no financial cost. Cr Owen’s motion proposed that Council’s support would be “conditional on all costs associated with the investigation, design, consultation and approvals being met by the applicant, but with technical support and advice being provided by Council officers as a partner in the project.”

Currumbin Wildlife Hospital

Councillors voted unanimously for a motion proposed by Cr Owen for Council to investigate further opportunities to support Currumbin Wildlife Hospital, who are seeing

increased numbers of wildlife from the Tweed Shire. A report accompanying the motion noted that Council has already collaborated with the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital in nominating 100 ha of land at Pottsville that was acquired by the State Government in 2017 to increase habitat and potentially develop a koala rehabilitation facility. In conclusion, the report stated that Council will investigate further opportunities to work with the wildlife hospital including specific projects or communication and engagement activities

Protecting native forests

Councillors will attend a workshop on the Tweed’s native forests following a motion proposed by Mayor Milne that sought to encourage Tweed landholders to revegetate their land. The motion noted that the Tweed has a diverse range of ancient Gondwana Rainforest remnants that are vulnerable to Private Native Forestry operations and climate change. It was suggested that a report be prepared on options to encourage landholders to revegetate their properties with one idea to increase dwelling entitlements for those properties that have 95 per cent native vegetation cover. The motion also called for a report on Private Native Forestry including whether it is appropriate for the Tweed Shire. The motion was ammeded by Cr Allsop and Cr Owen to be deferred and for a workshop to be held, with only Cr Milne voting against the amendment.

Murwillumbah CBD street trees

Councillors voted unanimously to bring forward a report on the state of Murwillumbah CBD’s street trees including options for replanting and replacement and whether improved shading could be achieved.

Gallery DownTown

Council will proceed with a 12-month trial of a ‘Gallery DownTown’ in Murwillumbah’s M-Arts Precinct to encourage more tourists to visit the CBD and help revitalise the area following the flood. The Gallery DownTown is an extension of the Tweed Regional Gallery and will be located within the upstairs gallery of M-Arts. The arts hub will eventually host around 20 artist’s studios, a restaurant and café, and galleries. Previous studies have identified that a large proportion of the 120,000 visitors to the Tweed Regional Gallery each year bypass Murwillumbah’s CBD. The gallery will provide further opportunities for Tweed artists to be exhibited and will help brand Murwillumbah as an arts hub. Councillors, except for Cr Milne, voted to support the 12-month trial, at a cost of $100,000 with Council also planning to seek State Government support.

Wollumbin and Brisbane Street roadworks

A $1.3 million tender has been awarded to revitalise both Wollumbin Street and Brisbane Street in Murwillumbah, which have further deteriorated since the 2017 flood and residents have long been calling for their repair.

We love our pets, whether they be cats, mice, ferrets, rats or budgies, but we especially love dogs. Two thirds of households with dogs view their tail-wagging friends as members of the family. An amazing 38 per cent of Australians live with dogs, making them by far the most popular species of animal companion. The Macquarie dictionary even lists a term to describe this close personal relationship – “fur baby”. While this term probably doesn’t apply to working dogs like kelpies, collies or German shepherds, it certainly could apply to cuddly hounds like pugs, poodles, terriers and Pekingese. We build our lives around them, and they give us their complete devotion. But Anneka Frayne, dog owning solicitor with Stacks Law Firm, points out that your dog, or any other pet, isn’t legally part of the family, but under the law is regarded the same as any other property you own, such as a chair or a toaster. “The law classifies all domestic animals as property, whether they be cows, sheep, dogs, cats, lizards, mice, snakes or birds,” Ms Frayne said. The two most important pieces of NSW legislation covering animals are the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979 and the Companion Animals Act 1998. “The most likely time these laws concern you is when a dog attacks a person or another dog,” Ms Frayne said. “The law sees a dog attack on another animal as a property dispute, so what occurs is that one person’s property has damaged another’s.” Under NSW law, dog owners have legal responsibility for their dog’s actions and can be held liable for any injury or damage caused by their dog. A victim may be able to claim for damages, compensation, financial loss or medical expenses from the owner. Ms Frayne warns that if your dog is harmed by another dog, it may be difficult to get the owner to pay the expensive vet bill without legal advice. A claim may be made against the owner’s home and contents insurance. It would be wise to get legal advice on this, as it can depend on the circumstances. There are also time limits. The victim needs to establish that the owner was negligent in failing to restrain the dog, or that the dog was held behind inadequate fencing.

Boomerang Bags are also available across the shire, which are handsewn by members of the community and available at drop boxes at several locations including IGA Tweed Valley Way and Sunnyside Mall. Meanwhile, NSW Labor Opposition Leader Luke Foley has stepped up his calls on Premier Gladys Berejiklian to follow Queensland’s suit and ban singleuse plastic bags. And if the Berejiklian Government fails to legislate the ban, Mr Foley said a Labor Government would impose the ban in 2019, if elected. South Australia (2009), the ACT (2011), the Northern Territory (2011) and Tasmania (2013) all have bans in place. Queensland, Western Australia and Victoria have all indicated they will act this year with NSW the only Australian state refusing to move to ban the single use plastic bag. Shadow Environment Minister Penny Sharpe and Shadow Minister for the North Coast Walt Secord made the pledge, as the Queensland Government in conjunction with Queensland retailers begins an education campaign explaining the changes to the community. In 2016, Ms Sharpe introduced legislation to the NSW Parliament to ban single-use plastic bags in NSW. The Sharpe Bill was defeated in October, 2017 at a vote of 20 to 17.

NSW Labor said the environmental i m p a c t o f p l a s t i c b ag s o n t h e environment is stark. Every second, 159 single-use plastic bags are used in Australia and more than 10 million new bags each day. In NSW, up to 61 million bags are littered each year and more than 70 per cent of the rubbish entering our oceans is identified as plastic. The average time a plastic bag is used between the shop and home is 12 minutes before it is discarded and plastic kills up to one million sea birds, countless fish and 100,000 sea mammals each year. “The community - especially the North Coast - has spoken and they are ready for action on single-use plastic bags,” Mr Secord said. “They want a State-ban, but they are puzzled by the priorities of the Berejiklian Government. “The whole country - in fact, large sections of the developed world are moving to ban single-use plastic bags, but still the Liberals and Nationals are moving in another direction. “The Premier will spend $2.7 billion on stadiums but they refuse to act on single-use plastic bags.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you think NSW should follow suit with other states and territories and ban the single-use plastic bag?

NORTHERN NSW Local Health District is urging residents to avoid contact with bats after reports of increased numbers in Northern NSW. Bats and flying foxes can carry bacteria and viruses which can be harmful to humans, including the potentially deadly lyssavirus. Acting Director, North Coast Public Health Unit, Greg Bell, said while there have been no cases of human infection with lyssavirus in NSW, people should still be cautious at all times. “You cannot tell by looking at a bat whether or not it is carrying the lyssavirus,” Mr Bell said. “In 2017, four bats that bit or scratched humans or pets in NSW were confirmed to have lyssavirus infection although

thankfully, none of the people involved contracted the disease. “People must always assume bats and flying foxes are infectious and if scratched or bitten they should thoroughly clean the wound for five minutes and seek urgent medical advice.” Australia-wide only three cases of lyssavirus have been recorded in the last 22 years and all have been in Queensland. Lyssavirus infection can progress to a rabies-like illness which is fatal. Mr Bell said anyone finding an injured or distressed bat should never pick it up but call their local wildlife rescue group. Similarly, they should call a vet if pets or other animals are bitten. “It is very important parents, teachers and carers educate young children to stay away from bats and flying foxes, to never pick them up or disturb them, which might cause a bite or scratch.

“Kids should also be taught to tell an adult immediately if they have been scratched or bitten so the wound can be cleaned with soap and water, antiseptic applied and a doctor called,” Mr Bell said. If bitten ensure the wound is thoroughly cleaned by immediately washing the wound for at least five minutes with soap and water, apply an antiseptic such as Betadine and seek urgent medical advice.

Your dog isn’t family, it’s property

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE supermarkets are preparing to go single-use plastic bag free with Tweed Valley IGA and Murwillumbah CBD IGA the first to drop plastic bags from Tuesday, May 1. Coles and Woolworths are also expected to follow suit and will ditch their single use plastic bags from Sunday, July 1. While the banning of single-use plastic bags is not compulsory in NSW, the retailers have opted to a voluntary ban on the bags which follows Queensland’s compulsory ban on the same date (July 1). Tweed Valley IGA store manager Mark Pettit told The Weekly that both IGA stores would offer a free IGA reusable bag with every $40 purchase or over. “We also offer a range of reusable bio bags for as low as 15 cents, or there’s weaved bags that can also be reused,” Mr Pettit said. “We decided to make the move away from the single-use plastic bag early in order to give customers time to adjust. “To celebrate and support this decision we are giving away one free reusable bag for any purchase over $40 and we now have a register where you can purchase and use reusable bags only as a sample of what it will be like as of Tuesday, May 1.”

Wet wipes still causing issues

From left: Murwillumbah Rotary President Tony van’t Riet, Mount Warning AM Rotary President Patsy Lucas and Murwillumbah Central Rotary President Tony Thompson get their hands dirty to help the environment.

Just down the road in the neighbouring shire of Clarence Valley, workers recently pulled a 15–20kg blockage from the sewer system in Maclean. The blockage was caused by wipes being flushed. What happened there can happen here too, and does so regularly on a smaller scale. Customer Service Officer Deb Howell regularly checks the wet wipes display at the Tweed Heads Administration reception counter and finds that after eight months in the water, the toilet paper is still the only thing that has broken down. All wet wipes – marketed as ‘non-flushable’, ‘flushable’ and ‘biodegradable’ – are all still fully intact. Deb admits to flushing wipes in the past because she thought it was the right way to dispose of them – it says so on the pack. “But I don’t flush them anymore,” Deb said. “Every day, I am reminded by these little jars that they don’t break down when they disappear from view.”

Community tree planting at Platypus Park

A group of community volunteers has come together with Council staff over the weekend to revitalise an area hit hard by last year’s floods. Platypus Park, a block of community land at the confluence of the Tweed River and Smiths Creek, was planted with more than 1,200 native plants at a National Tree Day event in 2015. After being fully submerged during the floods Council’s Project Officer Waterways Matthew Bloor said the area has been in a very challenging state. “It was hit hard by the flooding in March last year when the river rose to a record 13 metres and the force of the water was incredible, pushing over not only planted trees but also very large trees growing along the banks of the river,” Mr Bloor said. “Contractors have been maintaining the site since then – a challenging task as the flooding spread, and has favoured, a huge variety of weeds.” On Sunday 18 March over 35 volunteers from three local Rotary Clubs came together to plant around 250 trees at Platypus Park, an event organised by Council’s Waterways and Riparian Projects team and Uki Residents Association. Mt Warning AM Rotary President Patsy Lucas said the planting ties in with flood recovery work they have been doing for the past

year as well as goals set by their international body. “Generally the three clubs around Murwillumbah work independently but following the flood we came together and have been doing a lot of work with local families,” Ms Lucas said. “Getting out and doing work to help the environment after working with members of the community all year is a natural progression. “The Rotary theme for this year is ‘Making a Difference’ and this is a prime example of something we can all do.” Rotary International has a target to plant 1.2 million trees in a year – one for every member, and has made the case that protecting the environment and curbing climate change are essential to the goal of sustainable service. Mr Bloor said the target set by Rotary sends a strong message of service by example. “There is recognition that environmental degradation and climate change are everyone’s concern,” he said. “Council has partnered with several community groups to restore sites along the Tweed River over the past year. “It takes time for our natural environment to recover after a natural disaster, and we couldn’t do all of this work without local volunteers and community groups.”

Night roadworks to begin Council contractors will start nightworks on Monday 9 April to cement, stabilise and rebuild two sections of road at Banora Point. The sections are on Leisure Drive, from the Nudgee Street roundabout to east of Greenway Drive, and on Fraser Drive, from Vintage Lakes Drive south to the Coles supermarket on Leisure Drive. The work is being done at night due to the high volumes of traffic on these roads and the nature of the works being undertaken. The road sections will remain open to traffic under the management of stop/slow flagmen during work hours from 7pm to 5am from Sunday to Thursday nights. There will be no work done on Friday and Saturday nights. Motorists, however, are asked to use alternate routes if possible to avoid disrupting the works. Also, they are advised to expect delays if they travel through the roadworks. The works are being undertaken by two contracting companies, with one following the other. The first will prepare the road; the second will apply the final asphalt pavement. Weather permitting, the nightworks will occur across a twoweek period on: • Leisure Drive: from Monday 9 April to Thursday 12 April and then again from Sunday 15 April to Tuesday 17 April inclusive • Fraser and Leisure drives: from Sunday 15 April to Thursday 19 April and then again from Sunday 22 April to Thursday 26 April (no work Anzac Day 25 April), inclusive.

Rowan Robinson Park at Kingscliff is now open to the public.

Kingscliff park now open

The new Rowan Robinson Park in the centre of Kingscliff is now open to the public after fences were removed last week. Some work is continuing on the community hall and amenities however the majority of the site is now fully operational after inspectors gave final approval for electrical work throughout the park. Council’s Manager Recreation Services Stewart Brawley said the park opening marks the completion of the $22 million Kingscliff Foreshore Revitalisation project which aimed to transform the beachfront area. “With the power supply issues finally sorted out, the main section of Rowan Robinson Park in Kingscliff is now open,” Mr Brawley said “Council is liaising with the Federal Government to confirm a date for the official opening which will be held Saturday 21 April. “It is anticipated that the refurbishment works on the hall and amenities will be finalised by June.” Work began on the revitalisation, which also included the construction of a seawall and the upgrade of Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park, last January after nearly 20 years of community discussion on the subject. The new park will incorporate quotes submitted by residents about Kingscliff, carved into pavers and set into the landscape, and has been designed to directly connect the beachfront area to the centre of the community. It was named just last month to honour Rowan Robinson, a former surf life saver and Kingscliff High School student who lost his life serving with Australian forces in Afghanistan. Mr Brawley said the improvements to recreational areas of Kingscliff will now continue with the focus moving just a little bit to the South. “We will now turn our attention to the upgrade of Lions Park where we will commence community engagement in the coming weeks, with the aim of having works finished before Christmas 2018,” he said.

An evening of sharing flood stories

The Tweed Regional Museum is inviting the community of Murwillumbah and surrounding villages to an evening of sharing stories and reflecting on their experiences of the 2017 flood. The special event on Wednesday 4 April will be co-presented by the Flood Story Group, residents who are working with the Museum to collect oral histories. Kathy Egan, co-ordinator of the Flood Story project, said speakers will share their flood stories prompted by an object they salvaged from the flood. “There will be an opportunity after the guest speakers for the audience to informally share their flood-object related stories with each other, if they choose,” Ms Egan said. “We hope the evening will provide a caring and supportive space for those who would like to share their stories. “The Tweed Regional Museum just feels like the right place for our community to gather and share our collective experience of a local historical event.” Museum Director Judy Kean said objects can carry with them powerful memories associated with an event or experience.

“Objects help us remember and reflect, often in positive or transformative ways,” Ms Kean said. “The most humble and unlikely object, and also those which may be precious, are equally powerful.” Guest speakers on the night will include local artist Heather Matthew, whose work Preserved Memories, is made from items salvaged from her South Murwillumbah studio, and Jason Clarke, Principal of St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School. Kylie Johnston who along with husband Kieran and son Ronan was evacuated from their home in South Murwillumbah, later sharing their story with local media, will also be part of the panel. A photograph of Kylie, heavily pregnant with son Raphael, working to salvage the family’s extensive collection of cartoon figurines featured in the Posts From the Big Flood exhibition in 2017. An evening of sharing flood stories will take place at the Tweed Regional Museum, 2 Queensland Road, Murwillumbah on Wednesday 4 April, 5.30 for 6pm. The event is free, no bookings required. Refreshments will be served. For more information contact the Tweed Regional Museum on (02) 6670 2493 or email trm@tweed.nsw.gov.au

Tweed residents encouraged to keep recycling

In light of policy decisions overseas which are affecting the recycling industry worldwide Tweed Shire residents are being asked to take extra care with what they put in their yellow lid bins. A recent policy change in China has created much tighter restrictions on recyclable materials from our yellow lid bins that are sent to processing. China is now requiring that contamination rates for plastics, paper and cardboard products are below 0.5 per cent, with most Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) worldwide being unable to achieve this very low level. Contamination rates for Tweed Shire have in recent years been steady at 5 per cent, during a time when the standard set by China has been 10 per cent. The Chinese Government has indicated the measures are being introduced to focus on their own recycling processing, to improve the quality of imports and ultimately to improve their environmental management, particularly regarding air pollution. Tweed Shire Council Director Community and Natural Resources Tracey Stinson said most material going into yellow lid bins in Tweed Shire is still being recycled at primary and secondary processing facilities. “Recyclables collected from the yellow bin every fortnight will continue to be collected by Council’s contractor and managed by the privately run MRF in Chinderah, which is still finding markets both locally and overseas to reuse this material,” Ms Stinson said. “We are working with our neighbouring Councils in the Northern Rivers that are also going through these short term changes, while looking to State and Federal Governments to drive innovation and

investment in technology to develop new processing facilities and markets for recycled products in Australia in the long term. “This is an international issue with much of the world’s recycling being sent to China for processing, a market they created to get access to raw materials which could be turned into manufactured goods.” Council has initiated discussions with neighbouring Councils through North East Waste to best consider what future collaborative options might be available to address the issue. Council is asking residents to do their part by following household recycling requirements closely – rinsing items before they go into the bin, removing lids from containers and bottles, ensuring only recyclable material is placed in the bin and avoiding single use containers and products wherever possible. “The decision by China sheds light on the bigger issue here which is that waste is all of our responsibility, on a local and national level, where avoidance of waste in the first place is the best solution,” Ms Stinson said. “We need to think about the purchases we make and if it cannot be avoided think about purchasing recycled products or products that have recycled packaging.” Tweed Shire Council offers free drop off of recyclable items at Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre such as aluminium, steel, glass, hard plastic, paper and large cardboard as well as problem household waste items such as gas bottles, batteries and paint. Other larger recyclable items such as TVs, fridges, washing machines and dryers can also be dropped off for free. For a full list of items please visit our additional recycling options on www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/WasteDisposal and for more information contact the Waste Unit, on (02) 6670 2694.

Murwillumbah township residents and businesses are urged to attend a Council drop-in session to learn some critically important lessons from the Murwillumbah CBD Flood Levee and Drainage Study. The drop-in session will allow residents and businesses to see flood modelling and mapping of central Murwillumbah under flood conditions from Catchment Simulations Solutions consultant David Tetley. The consultants surveyed some 800 residents of the area behind the main Murwillumbah levee in October last year to gauge their understanding and preparedness for floods. One of the key findings of that survey was that very few people understand the flood risk in central Murwillumbah or would respond quickly to an order to evacuate. “This flood modelling graphically illustrates the risk of flooding behind the levee wall, which every resident and business located in that area needs to be aware of and prepared for,” Manager Roads and Stormwater Danny Rose said. “We need to raise the awareness of this risk to build a more flood-resilient community.” The drop-in session will be held at the Canvas and Kettle Meeting Room at the Murwillumbah Civic and Cultural Centre from 3–6pm on Friday 6 April. Community members will be able to talk with Council’s flood engineers and the consultants to unpack some of the content of the draft Murwillumbah CBD Flood Levee and Drainage Study, which is on public exhibition until Friday 4 May 2018. The draft study highlights the findings of the consultant’s study and community survey and assesses a number of engineering options to further protect the area from floods. Council has received funding for an additional study focused on South Murwillumbah, and will commence that work later in the year. The draft study will be on display at the drop-in session but can also be viewed at the Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads administration centres and libraries and online at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au Representatives from the State Emergency Service (SES) will also be at the drop-in session to provide advice and information on how to prepare for a flood. Feedback on the draft study should be made in writing to the General Manager, Tweed Shire Council, PO Box 816, Murwillumbah NSW 2484 or by email to tsc@tweed.nsw.gov.au by Friday 4 May 2018. Anyone wanting to discuss the draft study can contact Council Flood Engineer Leon McLean by calling (02) 6670 2400 or by emailing lmclean@tweed.nsw.gov.au

Some of the flood damage on Cudgera Creek Road.

May start for Cudgera

Creek Road slip repair

Work to repair the major landslip that has kept Cudgera Creek Road closed at the Burringbar end since the 31 March 2017 flood will start before the end of May and take about four weeks. The design and construct contract to repair this slip, as well as seven others, was awarded by Council last week to Roman Contractors Pty Ltd for the price of about $665,000. All up, there are six sites to be repaired on Cudgera Creek Road, one at Upper Burringbar and one on Tweed Valley Way at Stokers Siding. Works will also include repairs to other items damaged at the same location such as guardrails, road surfaces and stormwater drainage. Cudgera Creek Road will remain closed at the major slip site while under repair. All other roads will remain open for repairs under the management of stop/slow flagmen. All external contractors undertaking flood repair works on shire roads are responsible for scheduling their works. Council advertises this schedule every week in its Road Wrap column in Tweed Link, on Facebook and on its website. The March flood caused approximately $28.9 million of damage to roads and bridges. To date, more than 1100 minor road and bridge damage items have been repaired. To recover road damage costs under Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangement (NDRRA) and grant funding, Council cannot use its own workforce but must engage third-party contractors.

The workshop will examine the dynamics of water flow, the impact of flood events and river evolution and behaviour.

Workshop to focus on watercourse management Effective management of watercourses will be the theme of the next workshop in the Land for Wildlife workshop series. The current Land for Wildlife workshop series – launched in 2016 and funded by a National Parks and Wildlife Foundation grant with support from Council – helps private landholders manage native habitat on their properties. Council Project Officer – Biodiversity Michael Corke said this half-day, free workshop, to be held Saturday 14 April, is designed to help landholders manage riparian habitat. “Creeks and rivers are dynamic systems delivering potentially high energy water flows,” Mr Corke, said. “Riparian areas – containing some of the most biodiverse habitats in Australia – can be notoriously difficult to manage.” The workshop will examine the dynamics of water flow, the impact of flood events and river evolution and behaviour. Mr Corke said each of these factors has a significant impact on the type and quality of riparian habitat. “Participants will visit two very interesting sites at Chillingham,” he said. “We will look at the riparian environments at each location and discuss major threats to habitat integrity such as bank and bed erosion and weeds. “Participants will see firsthand how landowners are using tree planting, bush regeneration, livestock control and erosion stabilisation works to manage these threats. “One year on from the record flooding in the Tweed Shire, the community is well aware of the need to manage our waterways for the future. “This workshop is an opportunity to discuss the challenges and benefits of best practice riparian land management and learn from the experience of landowners actively managing their waterways.” Council’s Waterways Project Officer, Matt Bloor, who has considerable experience in waterway rehabilitation and has managed several large-scale restoration projects including the Rous River Riparian Restoration project, will co-facilitate the workshop. This three-year project is supported by the NSW Government through its Environmental Trust. The workshop is open to anyone however places are limited and bookings are essential. If you’re interested, register by calling Council’s Contact Centre on (02) 6670 2400. Details of the venues will be provided on registration. Participants are required to wear long-sleeved clothing, sturdy boots and a hat and to bring water. Morning tea will be provided but not lunch.

Drivers crossing double lines putting lives at risk

Tribute to French Police Officer

to no rules and drivers still don’t cross the double lines.” Another resident spoke to The Weekly about the issue and highlighted that visitors to the valley roads are often unfamiliar and were attempting to overcompensate on the corners. “Drivers are worried about sliding into the river, but I certainly do see a lot of it around the valley and it can even happen at night, which is scary,” he said. Meanwhile, NSW Police have launched Operation Merret, a statewide operation that commenced just after midnight on Thursday, March 29 and will conclude on Monday, April 2 at 11.59pm. In a media statement police said Operation Merret, is an unorthodox and proactive approach to road policing, aimed at educating and empowering the public to make the right decisions on our roads. NSW Police Force Deputy Commissioner Catherine Burn said the community needs to work with police to make our roads safer. “Driving is a privilege not a right and motorists, passengers and pedestrians

need to be accountable for the decisions they make that impact other road users,” she said. “Ninety-four people have already lost their lives on NSW roads this year. That is more than one person every day. “Every police officer in the state has been tasked with speaking to drivers, riders, passengers and pedestrians about their responsibilities and safe choices on and around our roads. “While we will continue to reduce road trauma through enforcement, especially during the double-demerit period, it is important that the community does their part in saving lives on our roads. “If people think our approach to road safety this year is extreme, I make no apologies. What is extreme is the pain those 94 families who have lost a loved one are going through.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Have you had a near miss on Tweed roads due to sloppy drivers crossing double lines? We would love to hear from you. Send your thoughts or letters to editor@theweekly. net.au

TWEED POLICE have paid tribute to Lt Col Arnaud Beltrame VA, a French police officer who made the ultimate sacrifice this month. Lt Col Beltrame offered himself unarmed to a 25-year-old attacker in exchange for a female hostage. The attacker shot Lt Col Beltrame who later died as a result of his injuries. From reading reports, there’s no doubt Lt Col Beltrame believed that it would be unlikely that he would survive the ordeal prior to making the exchange. The hostage survived but is understandably inconsolable. “Our thoughts, prayers and love go out to the family, French community, the hostages and our fellow Police (Gendames) officers,” Tweed/Byron Local Area Command said in a media statement. “May he forever rest in peace.”

Kingscliff man nabbed with illegal items TWEED POLICE have busted a Kingscliff man for a range of offenses including possessing prohibited firearms and illegal drugs at Sand Street on Friday, March 23. Officers said they attended the property at about 2pm and served a Firearms Prohibition Order (FPO) and a Weapons Prohibition Order (WPO) to the owner of the premises. Following the service of the FPO and WPO, police said they searched the premises, locating and seizing several items including a slingshot, several different types and sizes of ammunition, a rifle stock, a shortened rifle, several local and interstate motor vehicle registration plates, a double barrel and receiver (from a 12 gauge shotgun), an imitation rifle, 1.5 grams of methylamphetamine, a laser pointer, 264 grams of cannabis, a Commonwealth Bank Card, iPads, iPhones, Samsung phone and tablet devices, a commercial compressor and two KTM motorcycles. A man was interviewed at Tweed Heads Police Station before being charged with 21 offenses including; possessing a prohibited weapon, possessing ammunition without a permit, acquiring a firearm part without authority, possessing a prohibited firearm and many more. He was refused bail and will appear at the Tweed Heads Local Court.

SEVERAL TWEED motorists are calling for drivers to “stop crossing double lines” as fears of a head-on collision continue to rise in what one resident said is some of the sloppiest driving in Australia. Terranora resident Bill (Buff) Sercombe said the Tweed Valley is riddled with skinny roads and is urging locals and visitors to drive with extreme care. “I am writing to The Weekly, to bring to the attention of your readers the dangerous, illegal practice of cutting corners,” Mr Sercombe said. “It’s sad that we must drive in fear because too many drivers cut corners. “Or they go wide on sharp bends and upon seeing a car coming towards them, most try and get back over the double white lines to their side of the road.” Mr Sercombe is one of several residents that has raised their concerns with The Weekly in the past six months. “An increasing number are so used to driving 12 inches over double lines on blind bends, they are oblivious to the fact that they are doing it,” Mr Sercombe said. “Or they just don’t give a damn. I just hope the penny will drop, with some of them as what will happen if someone who drives like them is coming the other way at the same time.” Another resident, who preferred not to be named, said he made regular trips to Uki and was shocked at the number of drivers who cross the double line while hugging the corners. “It has to be some of the worst and sloppiest driving I’ve experienced in Australia,” he said. “I’ve driven roads all over Australia including throughout the Northern Territory, where some roads have little

TWELVE APPRENTICES studying a Certificate III in Bricklaying/Blocklaying at Wollongbar and Kingscliff TAFE colleges were presented with tools supplied by Williams Group Australia and Ox Group Australia at an information day on Friday, March 23. The partnership between industry and TAFE is designed to help apprentices into the industry with students being shown around the Chinderah operations of Williams Group before being presented with around $300 worth of tools. The Cert III course was initiated by Bricklaying/Blocklaying teacher Pat Murphy when he saw that there were no other apprenticeships on offer in the trade between Ashmore and Coffs Harbour. Mr Murphy got together with Williams Group Divisional Manager Lyndon Poirrier to discuss the possibility of a partnership, who then reached out to their Ox Group trading partners to come in on the collaboration. “It’s fantastic having this partnership between TAFE and Williams Group Australia,” Mr Murphy said. “It’s about giving back to the community. “We invited Ox Group to donate tools with us to initiate the new bricklayer apprenticeship kits,” Mr Poirrier told The Weekly.

“We’re a 100 per cent family owned company and given our long history of supporting community groups in the Tweed Valley it seemed like a natural fit.” Wollongbar TAFE student Kyan Studdert said he loved the course and was really interested to see the different bricks and pavers at Williams Group Chinderah. “The support of Williams, Ox and TAFE has been really good,” he said. Kingscliff TAFE student Luke Dunn said that Bricklaying/Blocklaying was a tough trade both mentally and physically and that it was great to have the support of local businesses. “It’s a good incentive having $300 worth of tools supplied - it helps a lot,” he said. “We know guys who work in the yard and it’s good to see faces and get to know people if we’re going to be down here all the time.” Head Teacher of Construction Trades at Kingscliff TAFE David Harris was on hand for the presentation. “It’s hard for first year apprentices because they’re taking home maybe $350 a week and having to get to work and pay for tools so this partnership is fantastic,” Mr Harris said. “At the end of the year we will have a Williams Group Ox Award for Bricklaying/ Blocklaying Apprentice of the Year with $1,000 presented to the winner provided by our industry partners.

Break and enter at Tweed Heads TWEED POLICE are investigating a violent break and enter incident that occurred at 7.30am on March 24, at Lloyd Street, Tweed Heads. Police said three unknown males knocked on the front door of the Lloyd Street unit. “The victim opened the door and was forced back inside the unit by the male offenders,” police said. “The males stated that they were looking for a particular male and police enquiries revealed this person is a past resident of the unit, however he has not resided at the location for several months.” Police said one of the offenders has punched the first victim in the face before walking through the unit and into another bedroom. “In this room, a further victim was asleep in bed,” police said. “The male has asked this victim the whereabouts of the male. “The victim stated he did not know and at this point the male has punched him in the face, causing immediate pain to the victim’s nose. “All three offenders then left the unit.

The two victims followed the three males outside where a verbal argument began and the three males fled the scene.”

Man wanted by police nabbed in Queensland

TWEED POLICE were assisted by Queensland Police on Sunday, March 25, to make an arrest of a man wanted in NSW. Tweed Police officers from the Tweed Heads Target Action Group (TAG) attended McLean Street, Coolangatta, after receiving information that a man wanted by them was there. “It was about 12.15am (NSW time) when police attached to the Tweed Heads TAG had been actively seeking his arrest for about a week prior,” police said. “Qld Police attended the location and forced entry into the unit. The man was found hiding under a blanket in this room and another female person was also in the room and was arrested by Qld Police for outstanding Qld warrants.” NSW Police will make an extradition application for the man to return to NSW.

Unlock the wonders of employing someone with a disability NATIONAL DISABILITY Coordination Officer (hosted by Busy At Work) Emma Killick is on a mission to help Tweed businesses understand why it makes good business sense to employ someone with a disability. On Tuesday, March 27, Ms Killick in partnership with ON-Q, Tweed’s longestablished disability employment service provider, visited Tweed workplaces to provide them with information about the benefits of hiring people with disability. Ms Killick is also asking business owners and their staff to participate in a short survey to gain a better understanding of employer perceptions in the region around employing people with disabilities. “A company’s reputation is strongly linked to its commitment to corporate social responsibility – employing a diverse workforce is social responsibility in action,” Ms Killick said. “Research shows that 87 per cent of people would prefer to give their business to companies that hire people with disabilities. “Contrary to popular perceptions employing people with a disability can lead to increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, reduced staff turnover and more positive organisational culture.”

The initiative launched on Tuesday, March 27, at Mockingbird Café in Kingscliff, the winner of Tweed Shire Council’s Access and Inclusion Awards for Advocacy. Mockingbird Cafe owner Jo Jackson has provided work opportunities for Hayden since mid-2017 and said the results have been “wonderful”. “Hayden came to work in the café mid last year and it has been a wonderful experience right from the start,” she said. “He has bought so much love and laughter to our workplace. “It’s not just me that has learnt something, it’s my staff and it’s been really special watching them through this journey. “At first there was a slight resistance as they thought I would be taken away from the work flow, but they soon realised Hayden is not only capable of doing things on his own, but he’s learnt more and more things as time goes on.” ON-Q CEO Lisa Smith said the project gives local businesses and the wider community a better understanding of the benefits of a diverse workforce, and subsequently opens doors to not only employment opportunities for people with disabilities, but to opportunity for business. Tweed Shire Councillor James Owen is also throwing his support behind the initiative and is encouraging other businesses to follow suit.

Councillor James Owen (middle) with Emma Killick (left), Jo Jackson and the ON-Q team.

“I’ve seen the work that Hayden does with Jo, how much they and all the Mockingbird staff love working together,” Cr Owen said. “Jo has built an incredible team who support and nurture Hayden and each other and it creates such a vibrant, positive and happy atmosphere in the café.

TWEED POLICE have charged five teenagers including one as young as 13, following a number of police pursuits in Northern NSW on Tuesday, March 27. Police said in a media statement that it was about 5.30am when they attempted to stop a silver Subaru Forester travelling north on Tweed Valley Way, Tumbulgum. “The vehicle had been reported as stolen from Tugun, Queensland, on Monday, March 26 afternoon,” police said. Police will allege the driver failed to stop when directed and a pursuit was initiated when the Subaru was allegedly detected reaching speeds of 120km/h in a 100km/h zone. Police called the pursuit off a short time later due to the manner of driving before the Subaru was again sighted on the Pacific Highway travelling across the state border into Queensland. With assistance from Queensland Police and PolAir, the vehicle was allegedly detected crossing the state border between Qld and NSW a number of times between 10.15pm and 10.50pm. Shortly after, the Subaru stopped on Rosella Close, Tweed Heads, before five teenagers fled the vehicle on foot. “With assistance from the Queensland Police Dog Unit, the male driver, 15, and two female passengers, aged 17 and 14, were arrested by officers at the scene and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station,” police said. “A short time later another two teenagers, aged 13 and 16, were arrested and also taken to Tweed Heads Police Station. “A 15-year-old boy was charged with dishonestly obtain financial advantage, police pursuit (x2), receive property stolen outside NSW, drive conveyance taken without consent of owner and enter enclosed land. “A 13-year-old boy was charged with be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner, enter enclosed land and resisting police. “A 17-year-old girl was charged with be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner, resist police, possess implements to enter/drive conveyance, possess housebreaking implements and goods in custody (x2).” The three teens were refused bail and appeared at a children’s court yesterday (Wednesday, March 28). “A 14-year-old girl was also charged with be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner, resist police, possess implements to enter/drive conveyance, possess housebreaking implements, possess prohibited drug and goods in custody,” police said. A 16-year-old girl was charged with be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner, enter inclosed land and resist police.” The two girls were granted conditional bail and will appear at a children’s court on Friday, April 27. Councillor James Owen said the youths were suspected to have been involved in the recent spate of break-ins on the coast. “I received advice earlier today from Commander Wayne Starling that five young people were locked up last night suspected of being involved in the recent break-ins in Casuarina and Pottsville and a number of high speed pursuits,” he said. “This is great news for residents in Tweed who have been on the receiving end of these grubs in recent weeks.” Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Casuarina kid wins Aussie boxing title

By Jo Kennett SIXTEEN-YEAR-old Casuarina boxing phenomenon Ethan Hartwig was crowned the under-19 heavyweight champion of Australia on Saturday, March 24, in Perth. Coach Chris Carden, from Platinum Boxing Club in Nerang said that in the last few weeks everything had come together and that Ethan had won his semi-final bout comfortably on the Thursday night. “He rested up on Friday and then on the Saturday he made weight and went on to win the final pretty comfortably,” Mr Carden said. “He has qualified for the Oceania Youth Championships 2018 in Samoa in eight weeks time and will get his first Australian tracksuit which will be a massive buzz." Ethan said he was delighted to have won the final in what was a tough bout. “I knew in the final I would have to dig deep, I watched my opponent train the day before and knew he was strong and fast,” Ethan said. “I knew it would be tough. “That last round, I bit hard down on my mouthguard and just tried to breathe through my nose. “I boxed in tight and I could see my body shots were hurting him. “He was tough though, he boxed smart too and tried to box long, so I had to think quick and my instincts kicked in and everything coach has screamed at me at training all came together”. His coach said that after the Oceania Youth Championships the next step will be trying to qualify for the World Championships. “Being 16 and winning the under-19s is massive especially considering that he

is working full-time as well as training,” Mr Carden said. “He’s lucky to have a good family that is backing him to the hilt otherwise it can be really hard. “Our goal is to get him and Michael Johnson to the Olympics in Tokyo 2020. “They both have really good work ethics and I don’t limit them - I tell them that the world is their oyster.” Emma Hartwig said that her son had arrived home exhausted on Sunday night. “Their flight got turned back to Perth with fuel leaks and by the time he got to bed it was 1am,” Mrs Hartwig said. “He is absolutely stoked to win his second Aussie title, two years running. “He’s such a humble kid but I think it’s finally sinking in that he gets to wear the green and gold now and represent Australia. “He leaves for Samoa at the end of May where he will fight for a World Oceania title. “He’s having a few nights off training to recover from a bout of tonsillitis he’s come home with. “He struggled to breathe through the last fight with a bad throat infection, but still won unanimously. “We are immensely proud of him. “It’s all sinking in, years of hard work, it’s a team effort between coach and us and Ethan. Mrs Hartwig said the last few months had been especially hard with Ethan struggling with fatigue from the 3.30am starts but the long,hard training sessions and constant battles with fatigue have paid off. “Ethan is so bloody excited to wear the green and gold and represent his country at just 16,” she said.

Ethan Hartwig with coach Chris Carden after winning his second Australian title in Perth

Ethan’s sponsors are Chris and Gillian Hill from Primary Pest Control in Casuarina. “I’m ecstatic," Mr Hill told The Weekly. "It’s unreal for a young kid from a small town - it’s amazing to win two Australian titles in a row and this one against 18-year-olds. “Ethan is just a beautiful, quiet, unassuming kid. “For us we are local and I played a lot of sport and know how hard it is without sponsorship. “His biggest thing is that he hasn’t really believed in himself but this will give him more belief in himself. “We’re talking about him making it to the Olympics so it’s pretty exciting.”

Murwillumbah High kick goals on sports field MURWILLUMBAH HIGH School (MHS) has started the year off with various successes on the sporting field, showcasing the area’s vast array of young sporting talent. The MHS Senior Boys Volleyball team has been crowned North Coast champions and, in what must be a sporting first, the team was picked in its entirety to represent the region at the Combined High Schools (CHS) State Championships to be held in Temora later this month. In the pool, year 11 student Hayley Bendl was not only crowned the swimming age-champion for the Far North Coast, she went on to be named North Coast age-champion - participating in six events across the championships. Hayley is among a number of MHS swimming stars, with students Kehsav Biswas and Megan Butler qualifying to compete at the CHS State Championships in April. Other Far North Coast sports that are benefiting from the talent emerging from the local school are touch football, rugby league and soccer, as students Riley Lack, Zac Johnston, Ryan Foran and Vinny Brockbank were all being snapped up by selectors in their respective sports. Girls volleyball also drew on MHS’ talent pool with Lucy Henderson picked for the Far North Coast team. Principal Peter Howes said the students’ success on the sporting field “demonstrates the wide range of opportunities available to students in and out of the classroom”. Mr Howes also praised the “volunteer spirit” of the many students who have put their hands up to assist at sporting events, such as those who volunteered as officials at the zone swimming carnival. Murwillumbah High S c h o o l i s c a l l i n g fo r the community to help foster students’ talents by collecting Coles ‘Sports for Schools’ vouchers and dropping them in the box outside the store or, alternatively, dropping them into the school’s front Hayley Bendl with swimming office. The program ends on carnival organiser Stuart Elder Tuesday, April 3.

DENTISTRY IS advancing at a rapid pace and what can be accomplished in this digital world is seemingly endless. Along with that comes the change in ethos and mindset of what dentistry is, what its objective is and how we can best achieve a sustainable, predictable result. TC Smiles are focused on educating their patients in every aspect of their oral health, providing them with the necessary framework to be able to make informed decisions and establishing long-term relationships with both their patients and their families. TC Smiles business owner and dentist Dr Zaid Wall said the business of educating and working with their patient needs was a priority. “We strive to encourage a preventative attitude in our patient’s mindsets that will not only address immediate problems, but rather reduce the need for costly treatment in the future,” Dr Wall said. “We are achieving this by making dentistry more accessible, more relaxed and more affordable.”

available, but they made it,” he wrote to The Weekly. “Murwillumbah High was the only comprehensive high school in the Tweed Shire in those days, so students who completed the intermediate certificate at Tweed River High or Mt St Pats had to transfer to Murwillumbah High to do the leaving certificate. “Murwillumbah High had an enviable record, both academically and sportingly, when compared across NSW. “Discipline was strong under the leadership of Mr Russ Goode (principal) and Mr Gordon (Matt) Morgan (deputy). Many an ex- student has stories to tell of their experiences with these two gentlemen.” Mr Brooks said many of the class of ‘63 were talented sports people and one of the highlights of the sporting calendar was the two inter-school visits with Lismore High, one involving summer sports and the other winter sports. “An interesting sporting story was John Smith setting a new long jump record in ‘63

THE MURWILLUMBAH High School Class of 1963 reunited to relive old memories and share their life stories at a special reunion that took place across the Tweed Valley on Saturday and Sunday, March 24 and 25. Attendance was high for the reunion and the group of more than 20 boarded a bus at Tumbulgum which took them to the Tweed Regional Art Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre, then to the Tweed Regional Museum, before travelling on to the Riverview Hotel for lunch. Late afternoon, Mt Warning Tours collected the group from the jetty at Budd Park for a wonderful three-hour cruise up the Rous River. According to class of ‘63 student Colin Brooks this particular group of people hold the unique position of being the first of the baby boomers, the majority being born in 1946, the year after the end of WWII. “For many, conditions were hard, with commodity shortages and not much money

Burringbar and Mooball waiting for answers on flooding By Jo Kennett THE LONGSTAFF family at Mooball had their home inundated during the ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie stor m that brought unprecedented rain and flooding to the area. “Like most families we were aware of the weather reports so we kept checking throughout the day and evening,” Rachelle Longstaff told The Weekly. “Our driveway is the first part to go under and at around 8.30pm the water level had dropped so we actually had a laugh about it. “However, around 11pm, I got up to do a check and when I looked out our back deck I could see water reflections inside our detached office. “Within 30 minutes we had water oozing up through the floorboards and then there was just no stopping it. “We had our two small children, a dog and rabbit on a bed while we tried to lift everything we could, including propping the dishwasher up on a stack of saucepans. “Compared to some families we really came out of it well but there was a stage when the water level on the glass doors wasn’t going down. “The storm was really raging and we had family members ringing us to tell us to get out- it was really scary. Mrs Longstaff said the small community is very isolated during floods. “There was simply no way the SES could even get to us by boat or helicopter at that stage,” she said. “The railway line acts as a levee wall for the Tweed Valley Way side of Mooball but unfortunately for us

it basically turned into a huge river and then with the high tide it just couldn’t get away. “Council engineers said the construction of the M1 doesn’t have an impact but we draw house plans so I do look at the flood levels a bit and common sense tells me that if you build up an area with a limited number of water drains, well there is undoubtedly going to be some sort of backlog compared to prior to the freeway being built. “Although our home insurance wasn’t covered for floodwater, we received insurance for stormwater runoff in our rear office as the hydrologist report supported our claim that the railway line was acting as a levy as there are no drainage points along it. “The office is situated lower than the house and the hydrologist supported our claim that stormwater runoff affected it, however, they said that by the time it reached the house it was floodwater. “We probably could have fought it but to be honest we really just wanted to move past it and concentrate on using our energy to fix our house rather than fight the insurance company.” At the time the Longstaffs had just finished renovating their 1890s home after six years of hard work and had made a pact not to renovate anything for a while. “We are luckier than some because my husband and I can renovate,” Mrs Longstaff said. “Everything we lost can be replaced and we have been pretty busy the past year.

“Out of the whole experience, the sense of community and help we received from strangers was really humbling, we were given so much support during those early days.

flooded were down near the railway culvert. It couldn’t go anywhere. “I’m still trying to get back on my feet a year later but I will follow it up when I can.”

As the storm raged over the Tweed Shire, Charlie Jenal had four feet of water through his two Burringbar businesses, Marshall’s Garage and Cam Excavations. That had never happened before in the history of settlement. “I have a theory about why it happened - I think the highway has had a big impact on flooding,” Mr Jenal said. “I’ve spent about $3,000 getting the measurements of the culverts done. “I have measurements of what it is now and I’m chasing up measurements of what it should be and what the culverts should be. “If you look at it now you can’t see the opening of it from the road, it’s all blocked up. “Road and Maritime Services representatives came to the community meetings and said if we had any problems to let them know. “ T h e y p ro m i s e d t o d o a n assessment but a year on they still haven’t. “The water here backed up from the river - it was all crystal clear at my place. “As soon as it stopped raining the water was gone. The water was clean so it didn’t come from the hills like it did in Hunter Street. “The RMS has on their records that the water went over the highway and then dropped down but it didn’t flood on the eastern side and the only parts of the western side that

The Secretary of the Burringbar Community Association, Eva Heath, has seen first hand some of the suffering caused by former exTropical Cyclone Debbie. She said that many victims felt abandoned by insurance companies that refused to pay up. “Some residents also think that the construction of the M1 has contributed to drainage problems and flooding,” Mrs Heath said. “The water came up and went down as soon as it could get away. We had 750mm of rain and the same at Upper Burringbar but the water was so clear. “RMS Pacific Highway Manager Bob Higgins came to a SES meeting on May 29, 2017 with other representatives from the Road and Maritime Services and said there would be an independent assessment of drainage and water flow of the M1. “We’re still waiting on that report but I’ve called and emailed and had no answer. “We weren’t directly affected in the main street of Burringbar apart from trade going down but it’s watching the old people who aren’t up on technology being told to lodge everything online. “It’s really heartbreaking to watch people whose whole livelihoods and homes have been destroyed just get written off by the insurance companies.

Marshall’s Garage

Hidden toll of the floods

“There has been a real feeling of frustration and abandonment that the Insurance Council isn’t supporting them. “A lot of them have been to the Financial Services Ombudsman and put disputes in without success and now they are at their wits end. “The insurance companies keep drawing it out and they fight and fight but in the end they just run out of steam and give up. “One family had a house and garage on the same level. The house got paid out as storm damage but the garage was insured and they refused to pay because they said it was a flood. “Another resident fought and fought and wouldn’t give in and in the end they paid him out just to get rid of him.” T h e Twe e d Va l l e y We e k ly contacted Mr Higgin’s RMS Pacific Highway Upgrade Office and is awaiting comment on when the assessment on drainage and water flow for the M1 will be undertaken.

By Jo Kennett KAREN STANOJEVIC and her daughter Holly, who run the Post Shop Cafe in Mooball, were also victims of the 2017 floods. They have only lived on Tweed Valley Way on the south side of Burringbar for three years and expected it to get flooded, but from the creek which they back on to, not the road. Holly was in a caravan higher up on the block and didn’t think there was a problem until her mother came out to tell her they needed to get out. As she stepped outside she saw her Jack Russell Dennis floating away on a rubber mat and just managed to catch him. “He doesn’t make any noise no matter what, so we had no idea he was getting washed away. “It was just lucky we were there and saw him disappearing.” “We also had a cage full of guinea pigs that washed away that we found alive and well stuck up a tree the next day so they were pretty lucky too.” Mrs Stanojevic said the water came up so fast they didn’t have time to get her husband’s car out of the driveway on the east side of Tweed Valley Way.

“Our house is actually lower than the road,” Mrs Stanojevic said. “We checked the back creek at 10.30pm and it had gone down. By 12pm we were stepping out into water. “The hardest thing was getting my 86-yearold father-in-law out. “We couldn’t open the glass doors facing the road to the west as the water was a metre deep out the front. “Two yachts even washed down from the next-door neighbours and got wedged between the clothesline and a tree - that could have been really disastrous. “We had to go out the back door on the creek side and walk my father-in-law out with my husband and I on either side of him. “It was dark and you didn’t know what was in the water or what would hit you or if there was stable ground under you. “We went to a neighbour’s house for a night and then some friends put us up while we came back and cleaned up. “Maybe two weeks later we were back in so we were pretty lucky. “Friends and the community really rallied around to help. “They bought food and water and cleaned up and kept coming around every day and asking if we needed help. They were amazing.”

By Jo Kennett COREY FISHER wasn’t expecting the reaction he got to the blog he wrote about his experience of Thursday March 30, 2017. Within 24 hours the story he told of being trapped on a tiny island of land with 10 other people surrounded by rising floodwaters and covered in insects, had reached 6,000 views. The ground was already saturated before ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie collided with a cold front coming up from the south. At the time Corey was living on a property owned by his friend Sharon on a hill just outside Uki with his Italian girlfriend Sofia. As the storm raged through the day, Corey, Sofia and Sharon’s son Aydan, who had spent his life there, walked down the hill and crossed an ankle-deep causeway to see if everyone was okay. Aydan said the causeway was fine - he’d lived there his whole life and seen it all before. Five minutes later when they tried to turn back it was chest deep and raging into a barbed wire fence. “Uki is like a funnel so the Tweed River at Uki was over the road,” Corey told The Weekly. Sharon, her son Liam and friend Daniel had gone to work and been sent home. They got trapped on the way back and had to swim across two causeways as the land they were on went under. They met Aydan, Corey and Sofia in a paddock in front of Sharon’s house. “They were already in shock because they’d nearly been washed away twice,” Corey said. “They always say never cross a causeway but sometimes you have no choice - their cars which were parked on high ground were washed away shortly after they escaped. “The paddock was high above the river normally and we couldn’t believe it could come up so high. It was gargantuan, a river so big it was like something from the Jurassic period.” The six of them were joined by an old colleague of Sharon’s named Kate and soon retreated to the corner of Meadow Place where an elderly man, a mother with an 12-year-old son, a woman who was very ill with leukemia and another woman were stranded. They were pushed back by floodwaters until they were trapped on a tiny island of land with two trees on it that some of them might be able to fit into but not all. “Some of us that might have survived the swim if the island went under but there were others who wouldn’t have,” Corey said. “Sharon was on the phone trying to get help but the SES has strict laws about risking the lives of their crews and they can’t do miracles and couldn’t get to us. “They told us to stay out of the water and we all laughed. “We had three umbrellas between us but we were saturated and cold and the water kept creeping closer and closer, swirling all around us.

“You’re watching and you know it’s about to take you away. “I accepted my death, I thought I was gone. “As calm as everyone seemed, we were all terrified.” They needed a miracle and they got one. Sharon had messaged her daughter, who called a friend whose boyfriend’s parents owned the land they were on. They called the SES who radioed a volunteer in Uki. One of Sharon’s friends called Eddie heard her name and what was happening, ran off and grabbed two canoes and put them on a truck. “Just at the moment when all hope was lost, three men with canoes showed up on the other side. They were heroes,” Corey recalls. “Eddie jumped in and paddled across but the current was so strong he got swept sideways into the trees. “We thought we’d lost him, one minute we were being saved and the next someone has died trying to save us. “Then like a Trojan riding to battle he appeared again paddling against the current and made his way to us. “We put the old man in first - I’ll never forget the look of terror in his eyes. “They made eleven trips, taking us one by one, soon working out that if they paddled to one side of the river it was quite calm and achievable. “Kate slipped when she went to get in and went under but I managed to grab her. People were so shocked and not quite there. “When we got to the other side everyone hugged and it was a beautiful feeling.” What was never told in Corey’s blog was what happened after the group separated and he, Sofia, Sharon, Liam, Aydan and Daniel walked across to a friend’s house on the other side of Uki just before the bridge. For the second time that day (the fourth for Sharon and Liam) they were about to find themselves in a fight for survival. “When we walked up the stairs the water was knee deep. We’d been in the rain for five hours by then,” Corey said. “The friends, an elderly couple, made us a cup of tea and gave us food and blankets and dry clothes then Liam and Aydan walked across the bridge to the Uki pub to get some beers. “It was chest deep on the Uki bridge and they said there were a lot of drunk people at the Uki pub who had lost everything. “I saw the tarmac lift up off the bridge and peel away like a piece of paper. “At about 5pm the water started going down. We decided to stay and fell asleep. “Around 12 the rain picked up so strong like I’ve never heard it before. “You couldn’t believe that so much rain could fall from the sky or that the river was so big. “All of a sudden logs and debris started bashing into the stilts and walls downstairs and it felt like we were in a boat and could disappear.

“There were people who lost everything but there’s really no way to know what happened. “We heard the army was on standby in Brisbane but they never came to help which is amazing and disappointing since it’s taxpayer funded and made me question why we pay for a defence force. “Social media became information hubs and it was phenomenal to see social media platforms being used for such good. “In the end the community did everything and churches became hubs too. Corey said a lesson learned from the floods was that each fire station should have a rescue boat. “They really need to have a vessel at the fire station in communities like Uki because the SES can’t get to you,” he said. “Power and funding needs to go to local communities instead of us having to use things like canoes in those conditions. “11 of us got rescued from that island and went our separate ways but we heard later that people who were there had massive breakdowns afterwards. “There may well still be people suffering post-traumatic stress from that. It doesn’t go away. It isn’t rational. You can’t measure it. “Others get really fearful when they hear heavy rain. Even taking a shower was traumatising for a few weeks for me. “It felt like the water was in my bones; I was literally soaked to the bones.” Corey advertised his blog about his experience via social media and said there was a huge reaction. “People told me they cried when they read it. “I had so many people thanking me and there were a lot of people who didn’t realise others had experienced this. “There were a lot of people safe in their houses that just thought it was a big rain event. “It gave them an opportunity to empathise that there were traumatised people who needed help. “Others showed the story to their friends to show how scary it was even though their situation was different. “They said it was very healing retelling the story because not everyone can express that.” Corey is writing a book about the floods, documenting the experience of local community members.

“You could hear the roar of the rain and when we shone a torch down there was chest-deep brown raging water and objects rushing past. “It made me feel sick to think of getting wet and getting into the water again. “We yelled out for help. The rain was so loud we didn’t think anyone could hear us but we were so lucky that the neighbour Brendan heard us. “He got a rope and threw it over. After a few shots we caught it and tied it to the railing of the stairs. “Brendan came across into the middle to help us and the older man went first. “The water was neck-deep and Sharon lost her footing and went under but Liam managed to grab her. “A log could have hit you and broken your legs and taken you away. “Sofia got sucked under and I grabbed her and ripped all my muscles dragging her to shore. “Then we were cold and soaked again and the highest place we could find to shelter was the Uki Cafe. “It was still raining and we found a bottle of Jack Daniels on the table there which was just what we needed after what we’d been through. “We pulled covers off lounges to get dry. “The rain finally stopped at 9am and we were back home by 10am. I was actually angry at how fast it disappeared. “We’d been up for 24 hours by then but spent the day clearing trees and fixing fences. “Floodwaters are incredibly toxic and we had blistering rashes that wept yellow fluid all over our bodies - apparently the SES have to wear a skin-like suit to keep the water out. “Time seemed to stop then - the normal life fell away for a few days which was really great. “I was so blown away by the community spirit, it was heart-warming. “It was one of the positive things everywhere, that all the chaos happening to everyone brought all these people together in such a meaningful way. “There are all these people in the community who have much deeper connections now. “As devastating as it was, it brought everyone together in a way I don’t think anyone had experienced before. “There was depth and destruction but a depth and value to community spirit - people will never forget what they shared. “We get on with life but the community is so much richer. “It was a very significant time and it’s easy to forget because life goes on but I don’t think we should forget it. “For a time there was a refugee population in the Tweed who had nowhere and who knows where they are now?

Burringbar family recall night of flood terror “Are you okay? she asked. Therese said she was. Then she sat up and swung her legs off the bed and found herself calf deep in water. “I heard her scream and then she dropped her phone on the bed,” Tracey said. Therese’s daughter Georgia and James were woken by Georgia’s father John telling them there was water through the house. “We got up and stepped into it,” Georgia said. “It was coming through the door and when we opened the door rain was pouring in. “We were asleep one minute and in the middle of it the next and just in shock, not knowing if it was going to stop coming up.” They wanted to go to Tracey’s home, but the water was too deep and moving too quickly to cross Hunter St. The family decided it was safer to go to Therese’s parents, the Flanagan’s house. Therese phoned her parents, waking them up. “She was hysterical and said they were all coming down to our house,” Mr Flanagan said. “I told her there was no water here but when I turned the outside light on there was water right up to the second step.” Georgia’s brother Aiden put his 22-month-old niece Scarlett on his shoulders, and along with James, Georgia, Aiden’s girlfriend Shanelle, John and Therese they held hands and stepped out into

the raging current of waist-deep water. “It felt like we were in the ocean. James had to hold me tight because I was pregnant. There was lightning flashing and it was terrifying.” Georgia said. Later they discovered 19 big stumps that had washed in beside the chook-shed where they came through to the Flanagan’s home, one so big they couldn’t move it with a bobcat. “If someone was knocked down by one of those stumps they would have all washed away,” Mr Flanagan said. “When we got inside the house the water was rising so fast, making gurgling noises as it bubbled up.” “In no time it was a foot deep so we decided to get the girls into the ceiling through the manhole.” They pushed Georgia’s grandmother Carmel up some shelving in a cupboard and through the manhole into the ceiling, then the others climbed up. “We grabbed some blankets to make it comfortable but it was pretty tight up there,” Georgia said. “We tried to keep Scarlett calm by singing to her but the rain was so loud and it was so scary having her there and wondering what would happen if the rain just kept going.” In the meantime, John, Aidan and Therese’s husband John pulled all the electric cords out and tried to lift as much of their possessions as they could above the water.

“After about half an hour of us sitting in the ceiling with the deafening rain it suddenly stopped as if it had been turned off and the water went back down again,” Georgia said. Tracey’s husband Cliff arrived with a truck and loaded everyone up and took them back to their home, set up high above the deluge. “We were cold and in shock and Tracey gave us all showers and warms clothes and made beds for us. “We were at Cliff and Tracey’s for six months and Therese and John were there for three and a half months but we all got on really well. “It proved how strong our relationships are. “Therese’s house had about 750mm of water through it and they lost nearly everything in it they had just done a big reno - as well as five cars. “After a lot of drama we got HBI Building Company to rebuild and they were fantastic - they understood what people were going through and did a great job.

“So many people came to help - The Moo Moo Roadhouse and Brett from Burringbar Quality Meats and ladies from Pottsville with hot meals and manchester. “The Burringbar locals bought meals and water. The Salvo’s and St Vinnies from Mullumbimby also helped out. “The Burringbar Bushfire Brigade cleaned all the mud which was so thick everywhere. “We cleaned for weeks. Family and friends all came to help clean up." Four generations of Flaganan’s, including baby Zephyr, were lucky to survive that night. 26 homes were flooded in Burringbar, some completely destroyed. While most insurances companies paid others have refused to do so, saying the damage was caused by a flood not a storm, despite meteorological evidence to the contrary, leaving some people destitute. Reconstruction was invariably drawn out, one life was lost.

By Jo Kennett THURSDAY, MARCH 30, is a night Burringbar’s Flanagan family won’t forget. Two family homes were hit by a wall of water and silt that flowed down Hunter Street as if it was a river, forcing Therese Karam’s family to flee to her parent’s home through a raging torrent of water. Earlier that day Therese’s daughter Georgia left her home in South Murwillumbah with her partner James and 22-monthold daughter Scarlett as the floodwaters rose. They went to her mother’s home in Burringbar to be safe. Georgia was four months pregnant. Her grandparents, the Flanagan’s, lived two doors down, separated by a vacant block. 200 metres up the road, the Flanagan’s other daughter Tracey and her husband Cliff couldn’t sleep as they watched fast-moving ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie on the internet, worried about their banana farm at Sleepy Hollow. Around 12.30pm they received a call from Cliff’s sister at Mooball worried about the water lapping at the back of their house. Cliff’s 94-year-old father lived there. Cliff and son Jake tried to drive down there but couldn’t even get out of Dignan Street because the road was flooded. Tracey’s sister and parents lived near the end of the short cul de sac. Tracey called her sister Therese, waking her up, and told her about the water.

Railway Street residents still grappling with 2017 flood By Jonathon Howard TWELVE months may have passed since the flood ripped through the valley, but Railway Street residents are still living under a cloud of uncertainty with questions lingering around voluntary house raising and/or purchasing schemes. Railway Street properties were among some of the hardest hit during the flood this time last year and many families continue to grapple with repair bills and maintenance. The Weekly met with several Railway Street homeowners on Tuesday to reflect on the past 12 months and focus on the future with the meeting centered around the need for house raising or purchasing. Most residents said they would accept a house raising option, however many said they would also accept purchasing of their properties at market value. But residents also fear a marketbased value for their property could mean they struggle to reenter the Murwillumbah market, with house prices already at an all-time high during the past two years. Insurance has also fell short of Railway Street resident’s expectations, with many critical of the insurance company’s processes and lack of support. “Insurance helped very few of us across the entire street,” one resident said.

“There were a few in-kind payments made by insurers but nothing that would cover the extend of the damage and many fell well short of completely fixing properties.” When asked if anyone had received any significant payout by insurers only one resident raised her hand. “I did not have flood insurance, but I was with NRMA who paid to help replace a lot of the property inside which now looks great,” she said. Most other residents said the insurance had even failed to cover roof damage, which they said still leaks during a rain event. Railway Street residents said their first ray of hope came in the form of the announcement by Tweed Shire Council to offer Voluntary House Purchasing (VHP) or Voluntary House Raising (VHR) which is funded through the NSW State Government via the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH), who provides grants to councils under the Floodplain Management Program for VHP and VHR schemes. However, several residents fear that Railway Street may not be considered a priority and while no official announcement has been made the residents have to live under the cloud of uncertainty. Under these schemes, OEH pays two-thirds of the program cost and the remaining third is typically paid by the council, the benefitting

landholder, or a combination of both. Several Railway Street residents said they were concerned their properties may not be eligible for the VHR or VHP as priority could be given to Murwillumbah properties. According to Tweed Shire Council’s VHP and VHR scheme Q&A document the question that

many Railway Street residents asked was “what if I am outside of the scheme areas but was badly impacted by the March 2017 flood?” “The VHP/VHR schemes are likely to take many years to implement,” the document reads. “During this time, Council will continue to update its flood studies and risk management plans and

will consider other areas outside of those nominated, such as Condong, Tumbulgum and the hinterland villages, to add to the VHP/VHR schemes. “This would require agreement from OEH. However, the areas identified to date are considered the highest priority for these schemes at this time.”

An Easter Reflection

Over this Easter weekend we will be celebrating the greatest miracle that this world of ours has ever witnessed - THE TRIUMPHANT RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD. We will be hearing again the greatest words ever spoken - HE IS NOT HERE FOR HE HAS RISEN as He said. The resurrection of Jesus was God’s receipt for Calvary. At Calvary the debt was paid, the blood was shed, the life was given, the sacrifice was made, and God’s receipt for that payment was the resurrection of His Son Jesus from the dead. The message of Easter is that Jesus has conquered death! Jesus is alive! What an encouragement this must be for those who have recenlty lost loved ones and for those who even now may be confronting life threatening illnesses. Jesus has conquered death. You are most welcome to come and celebrate Eater with us at the Murwillumbah Church of Christ,

Easter in your Church Sacred Heart Parish Murwillumbah Easter Ceremonies in the Sacred Heart Church, Main Street Holy Thursday - 7:00 pm Good Friday - 3:00 pm Easter Vigil - 7:00 pm Mass Times for Easter Sunday 8:00 am - Mass - Sacred Heart Church 10:00 am - Mass - St. Columba’s Church, Uki

t’s Easter time, a time when we should think of Christ’s suffering for you and for me. It’s said that Jesus endured five kinds of wounds: Concussion, when they beat Him on the head; laceration, when they bared His back, took long leather whips with steel pellets on the end and beat Him until He was bleeding from head to toe; penetration, when they crushed that crown of thorns on His brow; perforation, when they drove the nails through His hands and feet; and incision, when they put the spear in His side. Those nails through His hands and feet were driven by all the peoples of the world. We all had a part in the death of Christ because of our sins. Our sins put Him on the cross. We will never understand the Bible, We will never understand the death of Christ on the cross, until we understand that God is a Loving holy and righteous and pure God. He died for us all to bring forgiveness’ and show us that He loves us. Have an awesome happy Easter

The meaning of Easter is Love and its lesson is this: Jesus will come into our lives, as He did with the disciples and will, if we open ourselves to Him, touch us so as to remove the obstacles which we cannot remove. We pray that with each passing Easter we allow Jesus more deeply into our lives so that we will recognise Him and love. (Excerpt from Bishop Gregory Homeming OCD Easter Message March 2018)

Moving on one year after the flood Murwillumbah businesses moving on By Jonathon Howard

Roundabout Takeaway owner Marc and Trace Law

The Vege Shed owners Steve and Donna Flanagan

South Murwillumbah Post Office Rod and Katherine Butterworth

South Murwillumbah business Reuse Furniture and Collectibles owner Rani Neil

IT HAS been 12 months since the devastating Tweed floods ripped through communities throughout the valley and changed the face of the shire forever on March 30, 2017. Memories are still strong in the minds of many locals including those who experienced previous floods, but all agree the 2017 Tweed flood was both unexpected and unforgettable. The Weekly visited many of those businesses and residents impacted by the rising water to see how their recovery is progressing. While some businesses were keen to share their experiences, others said they would prefer not to talk about the 2017 flood at all. Therefore, The Weekly has attempted to stick to the theme of “Moving On” with a focus on how people are handling the day to day instead of dwelling too much on the past events. The Vege Shed owners Steve and Donna Flanagan at 51 Tweed Valley Way were hit by rising water at both the front and back of their business. Like many operators their stock was instantly destroyed along with vital refrigerators, vehicles, furniture, stock and thousands of dollars in down time, much of which many will be paying off or carrying as debt for years. Mr Flanagan said The Vege Shed lost about $55,000 in stock as the store restocked but much of that fruit and veg perished as their business had little to no access. “It was a tragedy and we know that many others fared a lot worse,” he said. “But it was the help that we had that made a huge difference such as the bob cat driver from Brad Ide Earthmoving, who cleared a lot of the mud blocking our rare entryway. “There were people coming from everywhere to help us back on our feet, and for this we are forever grateful.” The couple said in the theme of moving on, they’re hopeful that customers will continue to come back and embrace shopping local. “We’ve always been great believers in shopping local, so we’d encourage everyone to visit their local shops first and keep them going,” Mr Flanagan said. Roundabout Takeaway owners Marc and Trace Law lost everything during the 2017 flood including from their home near their business at 237 Tweed Valley Way. “We lost everything at the house, cars, backup equipment and stock, all gone,” Mrs Law said. “Everything we now have today was donated by the community.” Both Mr and Mrs Law said the donations came largely from the Hutchinson’s building, which was set up to take donated goods to aid those rebuilding their businesses and homes. “It was a hell of a year,” she said. “We’ve had to move multiple times and we stayed with friends for a few months.” Both Mr and Mrs Law said they wanted the focus of Moving On to be about customer numbers and encouraging locals and visitors to shop local. “We need more customers as I’m sure others do as well,” she said. The Roundabout Takeaway has also recently opened its new Dining on the River section, which is located to the rear of the takeaway shop and offers amazing views of the river. “The flood has set us back about three years, but our customers have remained loyal which we are so grateful for,” Mrs Law said. “We’d also like to thank those local businesses that helped us with shade sails and other work including Andrew Dugan, Hakka Hire, Global Shades and Murwillumbah Landscapes.”

During The Weekly’s visits around South Murwillumbah editor Jonathon Howard spoke with the mother of one of the victims of the flood, who has asked for her comments to be printed but the names withheld. The woman, who lost her son to the flood, said she has been moving on through her strong faith and support from the community, while also undertaking months of sessions with a psychologist. Meanwhile, other businesses such as The Motorcycle Clinic in South Murwillumbah took full advantage of the Category C grant funding and were able to get back on their feet quickly. The South Murwillumbah Post Office has since evolved into a one stop shop for all your postage and identification needs thanks to the help of Australia Post. Owners Katherine and Rod Butterworth were shocked by the damage caused by the Tweed flood, but their hard work and support from Australia Post and the community has helped them back on their feet. “One of the positives to come out of the flood was that we are now a one stop shop for all your postage, indentation, police background checks and much more,” Mrs Butterworth said. “Australia Post were great in helping us to expand our business offer and upgrade our computer systems to allow us to offer a greater range of services.” While many businesses were able to pick up the pieces and start over several have since folded including the South Murwillumbah Butcher, Geoff Smith Panel Beaters and many more. As one resident told The Weekly: “we need to look forward not back and encourage our local residents and visitors to use South Murwillumbah businesses for their everyday shopping”. South Murwillumbah business Reuse Furniture and Collectibles owner Rani Neil said she’s found a silver lining following the flood chaos. “I think it’s important we focus on the positives and keep encouraging locals and visitors to support South Murwillumbah businesses,” she said. Rani was able to expand her business into some additional space following the 2017 flood, which has allowed her to stock affordable quality furniture to suit all budgets. “We already have our high quality range of furniture and collectibles, but by offering a whole other section the business has expanded which means we can now meet more people’s needs,” she said. Many people have been visiting The Weekly office this week, or have stopped staff members in the street, to reminisce about one of the biggest disasters in the shire’s history. While now may be a difficult time to look back at a disaster that feels like only yesterday, it’s important we stand together as a community and support those that need it most whether is be through trauma or hardship. One of the most common themes of each discussion is how many people united together to help their family, friends, neighbours and strangers. It’s through this silver lining that local residents should feel proud and strong, that in circumstances of extreme need we can rely on each other to offer help and guidance. The Weekly would also like to extend an invitation to those residents who would like to tell their stories, to visit the Murwillumbah office during the coming weeks and share your story. From the entire Weekly team we hope you have a happy and safe Easter.

Local News 33

Remembering the events of Thursday, March 30, 2017 Council looks to future after flood TWEED SHIRE Council has provided The Weekly with an update on the 2017 Tweed flood, as the clean up and repair bill topped out at $28.9 million in infrastructure damages. The Weekly sent Council a range of questions this week to get an update on the recovery efforts following one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in the shire’s history. “The impacts of the flood event on residential communities, business and industry, and public infrastructure are widespread and severe,” a spokesperson for Council said. “Council acknowledges the deaths of six of our community members during the flood event, and recognises that the ongoing social costs of such losses far exceed the financial losses, and will stay with their family and friends forever. “There was an estimated $46.65 million in damage restoration costs to Council-owned assets.” Council also highlighted that the March flood caused about $28.9 million in damage to roads and bridges. “Around 1,500 road defects attributed to the flood were logged by engineering inspectors across 169 Council roads,” Council said. “To date, more than 1,100 minor road and bridge damage items have been repaired. “To recover road damage costs under Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangement (NDRRA) and grant funding, Council cannot use its own workforce but must engage thirdparty contractors.” Council said it was also preparing for another flood event by conducting extensive reviews of its procedures and protocols since the 2017 flood in order to increase preparedness for future events. Council is also preparing to mark 12 months since the 2017 flood with a special ‘One Year On’ Community Catch-up and free BBQ at

Knox Park on Thursday, March 29, from 3-6pm. The event will be held with support from the SES, Australian Red Cross and Thrive 2484. “Join together with your community and bring a blanket to enjoy some company, share and reflect as our community acknowledges that we are ‘one year on’, with recovery still in progress,” a spokesperson for Council said. “There will be music, kids’ activities, face painting and Easter egg and other giveaways.” The Weekly also asked Council what are some of the greatest lessons learned from the 2017 flood? “Removing impediments from the flood plain is important, as floods of a similar and greater magnitude are possible,” Council said. “The ground-breaking $3 million industrial land swap arrangement will secure businesses and jobs by moving important local employers from flood land to a flood-free site. “Offering to purchase and raise houses through the Voluntary House Purchasing and Raising Scheme is also important.” “For Council, as owner of assets, there is the need to review our property-related risk exposure and the impact property loss or damage would have on the provision of our services. Finally, The Weekly asked when does Council believe the shire will be back in the positive financially? “The impact of the 2017 flood will be felt for many years. Council has brought forward some works items and postponed others,” Council’s spokesperson said.

The Tweed’s roads suffered extensive damage during the floods

State Member for Lismore Thomas George There can be no shying away from the struggles our communities have faced since the March 2017 floods. What I think we can appreciate now though is, towns like Murwillumbah which were badly affected, look better than ever. Businesses have been refurbished and homes rebuilt, ready for a new future. With the help of Tweed Shire Council the NSW Government negotiated the land swap deal, flood proofing businesses in Murwullimbah’s industrial area. Thank you for being resilient and having the fight to keep going. I encourage you all to continue to support Murwillumbah and it’s surrounding area.

Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot “One year on from the floods and many of our local families and businesses are still facing many challenges due to this devastating event. I applaud the outstanding community spirit witnessed during the flood and I would like to especially commend the SES, Police, and Emergency Services and the Council staff for their remarkable commitment during this time. I am, however, extremely disappointed and angry with the lack of support from both the Federal and State Liberal Nationals Governments and their failure to repair and rebuild our region. I continue to call on them to act and I continue to hold them to account for their heartless inaction at our time of need. The government’s ongoing refusal to properly provide substantial long term financial assistance means that local families, businesses and Tweed Council are still struggling with massive costs and repairs as a result of the floods. I also continue to be contacted by many locals unhappy with the negative responses from their insurance companies. I urge locals who need assistance to contact me and I can make representations on their behalf.”

State Member for Tweed Geoff Provest The floods of March 2017 devastated our area, causing loss of life, property and infrastructure. Many are still rebuilding or struggling with insurance claims. For most of us it was a not-so-gentle reminder that the Tweed Valley is a called floodplain for a very good reason, but for some, life will never be the same. However, it has been said that disaster brings out the best in people and in the face of the worst we saw the best of our community. Strangers came to help with the clean-up, businesses, church groups and community organisations not affected by the floodwaters helped with food and drink and volunteers appeared at evacuation and recovery centres, donating time, bedding, food and comfort. As we mark the first anniversary of this disaster, let us also remember the resilience and community spirit that shone so brightly above the filth the floodwaters left behind.

State Opposition Labor Leader Luke Foley The North Coast floods were a disaster that affected the entire community. It is now one year on, but the simple passing of time has not erased the damage done. In lots of ways, the disaster is not yet over and many people are still coming to terms with the losses they suffered. Homes, businesses, public infrastructure and community facilities were all damaged. For communities that have experienced an event like this, it is important they know that they are not alone. When I visited the region I was struck by the way that the community had responded with neighbours looking out for one another. I remember all the emergency services workers who gave so much support and also the leadership displayed by councils and community volunteers. Adversity can bring out the best of us and strengthen a community’s resilience. While the recovery still continues into its second year, I urge everyone to keep working together to rebuild a great community.

Tweed Shire Council General Manager Troy Green It’s 12 months on from the flood, but the impact is still be felt in many areas of the Tweed, financially and emotionally. Sadly, for those who lost loved ones, the impact will be felt for the rest of their lives. Like the floods of 1921, 1954 and 1974, this natural disaster will become an unwanted part of the Tweed’s history. Despite the hardships, when we reflect in years to come, we should take a collective pride in the determination and resilience shown by our community. For Council, the flood damage was extensive and the required works are all-embracing with significant costs. To use an analogy, there are 1500 kilometres of roads in the Shire and basically Council has to stop every 700 metres to fix a problem that has arisen from the floods. The damage, works and costs include: • 1529 damage items to roads, drainage and bridges with a current repair estimate of $29,909,917. • 1173 damage items assessed to date for Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery arrangements (NDRRA) eligibility and $19,605,443 in funding approved. Plus $2,175,000 for Byrrill Creek Bridge from Bridges Renewal Program – Round 3. • Predicted funding shortfall for Council is $6,695,994. • 1119 damage items completed to date at a cost of $6,581,494. • 350 more damage items are due for completion before June 2018. All major slip repairs are due for completion by December 2018 and Byrrill Creek bridge by June 2019. Thank you to the community for your patience while we carry out these repairs.

Local News 35

Murwillumbah CBD residents not prepared for major flooding says study SEVERAL RESIDENTS living in Murwillumbah’s Central Business District and township are not sufficiently prepared for future flooding, according to the Murwillumbah CBD Levee & Drainage Study Draft Report, commissioned by Tweed Shire Council and recently released for public exhibition. The report warns that not all residents are prepared for a large flooding event in the CBD and township areas. CBD homes and businesses are protected by three levees; the Commercial Road levee, Dorothy Street levee and East Murwillumbah levee. The Dorothy Street levee experienced unprecedented flood levels from the Rous River during the March 2017 flood and overtopped by around 30cm. The water rose rapidly in the area surrounding the Brother’s Leagues Club affecting several properties. The concrete section of the Commercial Road levee held back the raging Tweed River, however, the earthen section overtopped south of Les Cave Oval and south of the Murwillumbah High School causing flooding of surrounding sporting fields. Knox Park and surrounding streets experienced flooding as a result of two pump stations being overwhelmed by the volume of stormwater behind the town levee wall. The Murwillumbah East levee experienced minor overtopping affecting the Murwillumbah East Primary School.

The report warns that in a flood greater than the March 2017 flood, or more than a one per cent flood, the CBD area would be completely inundated “over two metres deep in a matter of hours”. The worst flooding situation examined in the study was a 0.2 per cent flood or one-in-500-year flood. The 2017 flood was considered to be a one per cent flood but it should be noted the Rous River and Dorothy Street levee experienced greater than a one per cent flood. It should also be noted that if the rain had continued for another few hours in the early hours of Friday, March 31, there was a real possibility the town levee may not have held and the CBD would have flooded. During a 0.2 per cent flood all three levees protecting the town would be overtopped with more than three metres of water predicted behind the Commercial Road levee. In a one per cent flood the majority of CBD properties do not experience above floor inundation, as was the case during the 2017 flood. “However, during the 0.2 per cent AEP flood, the vast majority of properties behind the Commercial Road and East Murwillumbah Levees would be inundated,” the report reads. “This indicates that if a large flood was to occur and evacuation did not commence early, a large number of properties would be exposed to a significant flood risk and it is unlikely that emergency

services would be able to support all of these properties. “It highlights that early evacuation from areas located behind the Commercial Road and East Murwillumbah levee is critical for minimising the risk to life during large floods that overtop the levee system.” 116 CBD residents were surveyed as part of the report, which found that several residents did not understand the extent of potential flood risks to their property and were at risk by not understanding the need to evacuate quickly in a major flood event. The report found 19 per cent of respondents were not aware whether their homes or businesses were at risk of flooding. A total of 27 respondents believed their home or business could not be affected by flooding despite 17 of those 27 respondents having homes and/or businesses that would be affected in a Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) situation. The majority, or 85 per cent, correctly identified their home and/or business as being affected during a Probable Maximum Flood. A concern was 57 per cent of survey respondents would remain at home when asked to evacuate during a major flood and only 16 per cent would move to an evacuation centre. The report identified homes to the east of Knox Park that could become isolated in a flood where the Commercial Road levee overtops. “The study also revealed that many properties, particularly along

Commercial Road, are isolated before being inundated,” the report reads. “This poses a high risk to life as evacuation is limited in this scenario. “This reinforces Council’s current development controls in this area which limit intensification of occupation and the associated risk to life.” A total of 10 per cent of survey respondents said they did not know how they would react during a future flood. The study recommended implementing or further investigating the following: • Remediation of the Commercial Road levee, including installation of a formalised spillway to reduce the potential for levee overtopping and scour, and provide a controlled entry point for water into the township away from existing development. • Installation of a new pump system for the area behind the Dorothy Street levee to assist in reducing flood levels behind the levee and allowing water to drain from behind the levee following the flood. • Temporary flood barriers that could be installed by commercial property owners before a flood to prevent the ingress of floodwaters. • Local Flood Plan/flood intelligence updates that aim to take advantage of the detailed flood information produced as part of the study to allow the SES to refine their emergency planning. • Flood warning system upgrades to provide improved dissemination of flood warning information.

• Community education so that the community better understands their flood exposure and how to respond during future events. The study investigated several other flood mitigation options including raising the existing levee walls, redesigning the Commercial Road levee gates to allow them to open and release water back during levee overtopping, stormwater system upgrades, regrading of William Street and drainage uprgrades in Proudfoots Lane, Nullum Lane and William Street. “The Proudfoots Lane pump system was also determined to provide some significant hydraulic benefits across the Murwillumbah CBD,” the report reads. “However, the high cost of this option may make it impractical. Nevertheless, it could also be pursued if funding does become available in the future.” The report noted that: “although each of the options investigated will assist in reducing the existing flood risk, there will be no one option (or combination of options) that will eliminate the flood risk across Murwillumbah”. “Therefore, there will still need to be an ongoing focus on emergency response and community education activities to ensure the residual flood risk is well managed,” the report reads. Meanwhile, Council is urging Murwillumbah CBD residents and business owners to attend a Council drop-in session on Friday, April 6, from 3pm to 6pm. For more information see Tweed Link on page 9.

Call to look after yourself, friends and family post flood IT HAS been 12 months since ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie and the Tweed flood that changes the lives of many local families, which The University Centre for Rural Health (UCRH) said can be a particularly stressful time for many in the community. UCRH has released its initial findings of the ‘After the Flood survey’, showing the impact of the flood on resident’s mental health and wellbeing. Coordinator of the survey, Veronica Matthews, said 2,500 people across the Northern Rivers region responded to the survey, and the findings showed increased risk of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress for those affected by the flood. “The risk to people’s mental health was higher for those who experienced flooding in a number

of sites, such as their suburb, their home, a friend’s home and businesses,” Dr Matthews said. “The survey also found that the longer someone was displaced from their home, the greater their risk of experiencing post-traumatic stress. “And four per cent of those who responded to the survey were still displaced six months after the flood.” Professor James Bennett-Levy, Professor of Mental Health and Psychological Wellbeing at UCRH, said for some people an event like an anniversary or another extreme weather event in the news can restimulate their trauma. “Keeping connected, contacting friends, going to community barbecues and events is really important because otherwise it’s

easy to become isolated,” Professor Bennett-Levy said. “When we’ve had a trauma it’s a natural reaction to avoid talking about it and to shut it out. “But the problem is that by trying to shut it out, we don’t get to process it and our anxiety tends to remain in place. “So, when there are anniversaries or when there are heavy rains we may not understand our strong reactions. “But the impact can be very real, and we might find ourselves doing things that aren’t helpful like drink too much or take drugs.” Professor Bennett-Levy said it was important first of all to recognise that anniversaries can restimulate anxious feelings. “Recognising that, its then important to be kind to yourself,” he said.

Professor James Bennett-Levy

“Treat yourself as you would treat your best friend. Do things that give you pleasure and have a calming effect on you. “And if you really think that life is not going at all well right now, it is important to recognise that and seek help. “See your GP or call Lifeline and take action.” Anyone experiencing anxiety can contact Lifeline on 131114

Many readers will remember the American actress Gloria Grahame, who shot to fame in A Wonderful Life (1946) and won an Oscar as supporting actress in the film The Bad and the Beautiful (1952). She died of cancer in 1981 at 57 years of age after a very full life. Her career went through a series of ups and down; she married four times and was involved in several marital and child-custody controversies and scandals. Towards the end of her life she spent a lot of time in England, where she met actor Peter Turner, 28 years her junior, with whom she had a passionate on-and-off love affair. After her death Turner wrote a memoir titled Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool, and the film by the same title is the screen version of the memoir. The two characters could not have been more different: she was a worldly former Hollywood star with blue blood in her veins – her father was a descendent of King Edward III – while he was a struggling young actor from a working class family in Liverpool. But Peter’s excitement to be with a real film star and his devotion to her, coupled with Gloria’s need to be loved fuelled a relationship solid enough to continue for several years until her death. They even spent time at Peter’s family home, his parents supportive of the relationship despite the age gap and other differences between the two lovers – while Gloria’s mother responded quite differently when visited by the couple. The film narrative develops in a predictable way as we already know how it will tragically end, but the superb performances of Annette Bening and Jamie Bell in the protagonists roles give depth to the film and make it a moving experience- bring tissues to the cinema with you..!

Long Weekend

A FUNDRAISER for Tweed Creative Studios and the Tweed District Rescue Squad will be held at the Condong Bowling Club this Saturday, March 31 from 6pm. The event will be a chance to reflect on the past 12 months, enjoy some great live music and help raise much-needed funds to rebuild Tweed Creative Studios and support the Tweed District Rescue Squad who worked tirelessly during the flood. Phil Emmanuel, along with local bands PPR Express, Katching and special guest Elisha Henwood have kindly donated their time to play at the event. Phil will also donate a signed brand-new Tanglewood electric guitar that he will play on the night to the lucky winner of the raffle. Second prize will be a framed rare Bob Marley poster and third prize will be announced on the night. “It is with great pleasure and excitement to announce that Phil Emmanuel will be coming to the Condong Bowling Club to play at an exclusive event on March 31,” Tweed Creative Studios owner Chantal Waters said. “This event will be a fundraiser to assist and acknowledge the Tweed District Rescue squad and their amazing efforts during and after the floods in March 2017. “The Tweed District Rescue Squad will be bringing their trucks for public viewing and will be accepting expressions of interest to sign up new volunteers to continue their effortless work within the shire. “There will be a slideshow of the impact that the town received and also of the rebuild. “We will be asking members of the audience to speak of their story and how they overcame the tragedy of cyclone Debbie.” Condong Bowling Club also suffered greatly during the floods and with the help and donations from members, locals and other Tweed clubs, managed to rebuild their club and be fully operational within a month.

THE SQUARE

IN CELEBRATION of the Community Printmakers Murwillumbah (CPM) new premises in Stokers Siding the store will hold another community open day on Easter Saturday, March 31. Locals and visitors are invited to come along between 11am and 3pm at the CPM Print Studio which is located in the delightful little country village of Stokers Siding at Shop 1, 224 Stokers Road, opposite the park. Event coordinator and CPM members Sue, Anne and Peter said if anyone has ever wondered how etchings, wood and linocuts are made or have an interest in creative print techniques, then this is the event for you. “CPM printmakers will be showing how various forms of fine art prints are made and you can see how you too can easily make your own unique art print,” the group said. “Food and drinks will be available as well as a raffle as well as unique handmade prints, cards and gifts made by members will be for sale on the day.” Established in 1989 Community Printmakers Murwillumbah Inc or as it is better known CPM is a not for profit group to further the art of fine art printmaking. “We are an informal group who foster a sense of appreciation of everyone’s art, humour, and participation in studio workshops. Fresh faces are always welcome,” the group said.

“For 25 years CPM’s home was in the Tweed Shire Council’s Community Centre building on Kyogle Road, at Bray Park. “Unfortunately, the old building was lifted off its foundations and shifted during the March 2017 flood event and sadly is now due to be demolished. “Fortunately, a shop in the lovely historical ‘old Stokers Siding Pottery’ building was available for lease.” Grant funding for the lease was made available by the NSW Rural Assistance Authority to provide a temporary home. CPM provides an important community facility for newly graduated students from surrounding universities and TAFE colleges as well as the aspiring and passionate printmakers of the region. It is the only the facility of its kind between Newcastle and Brisbane. “The focus is to provide a very affordable and engaging print studio for everyone to enjoy,” the group said. “Experienced and passionate printmakers will guide beginners through the basics of printmaking and workshops are available from time to time. “We are currently planning print workshops, so if you are interested in attending please come along or contact us now.” For more information please call Anne on Mobile 0498 399 640 or (02) 66722 421, Sue on 0408 493 253, Peter on 0427 545 672 or email CPMMurwillumbah@hotmail.com

Kids enjoy Ride2School Day

Van Johnson on his way to Pottsville Beach Public School.

POTTSVILLE BEACH Public School participated in the nationwide Ride2School program on Friday, 23 March. Ride2School day was developed to combat rising inactivity with an increasing number of children being driven to school, as research shows that children who are more active are happier, healthier and better learners. Many other schools also took part in the annual event including Murwillumbah East Primary School. Coordinator Elle Collier said the program aims to empower and enable more children to get physically active on their journey to school, by walking, scooting or pedaling. To support Ride2School day, members of the local cycling community visited the school to provide students with tips on bike maintenance, bike safety, helmet checks and road rules.

WELL FOOTY has taken a back-seat this week to the Australian Cricket Team. My two bobs worth is - I’m shattered. Growing up pretending to be Dean Jones, Junior Waugh, Matt Hayden and Punter - these roosters toss up this rubbish. Not happy Jan. A real blight on the national sport I reckon. Took the heat off Manly that’s for sure. A real circus that was and DCE having ‘no idea’ sounds a bit dodgy also. It leaves them a player or two short for next two years really and a big black stain on the silvertails. Gareth Brennan is probably happy Smith, Warner and Bancroft had a massive brain explosion as well. The Dragons were pretty red hot but the Titans were woeful. I just read the team lists and can’t believe Elgey has held his spot. Doesn’t say much for the halves at Burleigh and Tweed that’s for sure. I bagged the Warriors before round 1 and they have proven me wrong so far but gee the Raiders have been disappointing, not sure how they got beaten on the weekend. Devastating news for Nathan Cleary on the weekend getting injured badly and probably finishing his Origin 1 ambitions. Not a good start personnel wise for the Panthers with plenty injured. Plenty of talk about the referee’s on the weekend after the

Broncos and Tigers match. It was a bludger of a match and a bludger of a decision to give the penalty to the Broncos to win the match. The obstruction really isn’t crash hot either and is still causing problems. Interesting interview this week with Brad Arthur watching videos until 4.30am after Saturday’s loss to leave the Eels 0/3. Great insight into life of an NRL coach. I had a beer with Anthony Seibold a few weeks ago and he is going grey very quickly in the top job, but Souths are playing an entertaining brand of footy under Seibs. The weekend saw the junior 9’s being played at Tweed Heads with some entertaining footy and a few NRRRL trials. Congrats to the 12 students from St Joseph’s College Tweed Heads (8 from the all conquering Cudgen u/15s team) who were selected for Lismore Diocese to trial for Northern Country the final week of term. Enjoy Easter - double header on Friday is something to look forward to. See you at the footy. Quinny

A sacriﬁcial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efﬁciently working system and a costly replacement. Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion. THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE SOLAR, ELECTRIC, GAS OR HEAT PUMPS FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in the Tweed & Gold Coast area FREE OF CHARGE.

Bowls Notes TBDBA Championship Singles are now done and dusted, and what a smorgasbord of wonderful, top quality bowling was on display for all to enjoy. Congratulations to all contestants Semi One in the Open Singles resulted in a tough match between Jimmy Knight (Condong) and Phil Bennett (Pottsville). Knight took control early and keeping Bennett at bay closed the game with a comfy margin. Semi Two involved Troy Makin (Ocean Shores) and Byron Bay’s Bulla Burton. Makin being slow to begin provided Burton the opportunity to build up a 19-3 lead. Burton, whilst keeping Makin out of the game, plundered shots continuously to take the game with a solid margin. The Jimmy Knight Vs Bulla Burton final was a classic event with superb bowling from both players. Knight held a narrow lead for the first half of the game until Burton evened the score to 16-16. Game on! Top bowling displays and tight heads and the score progressed to 24-21 in

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

with Judy Tuckey

Burton’s favour as he then broke away, surged ahead comfortably, to take the title with a secure margin. Semi-final One in the Reserve Grade evolved into a great tussle between Cudgen’s Fred Smith and Pottsville’s Michael Coyte. In a close encounter throughout, Smith led with a minimal margin against his younger opposition, only being able to take full control during the final ends to claim victory six shots up. Semi Two didn’t eventuate as Pottsville’s Gary Rowland suffered from a major medical condition the day before play and required urgent surgery. Best wishes go to Gary for a full and successful recovery. In the meantime, Gary’s Opposition, Cabarita’s Keith Foran went forward to contest the final. The final between Fred Smith and Keith Foran saw Smith take control from the beginning and, not allowing Foran any leeway, continued on to claim the title with a solid margin. Cabarita’s John Turner was challenging Brunswick Heads’ Gary Rendell in the

Senior semi-finals. Turner kicked off with a good lead early, and keeping Rendell at arm’s length during the match, closed the game with a solid margin. Semi Two was an all in Ocean Shores affair with Graeme Condi and Neil McLeod trading blows. Whilst McLeod opened the card, Condi soon fired up and scoring well, took control. A resurgence from McLeod part way through the match saw him take control for several ends. However, as this hard fought game continued, Condi once again snatched control and claimed the spoils with a handy surplus. The final in this category between Turner and Condi was a game not have been missed as these two lads delivered a great display of high quality bowls throughout. With the lead changing several times, Turner eventually took over and in a continued close encounter was able to break away during the final ends to claim the spoil with shots to spare. Happy Easter everyone. Stay safe. See you on the greens after the break.

Kobie to Get a Chance to Ring the Bell! COOLANGATTA / TWEED teenage surfing sensation Kobie Enright has got her chance to take on the best surfers in the World at the Rip Curl Pro. The 18 year old has just won her sponsors trials for the event to get a spot in the main event, and has had a great year winning the Burleigh Pro, and finishing runner-up at the Tweed Pro last month. I have seen Kobie come through the ranks as a tiny young girl, now she is 5’11”, a tall girl with a powerful yet elegant style reminiscent of Stephanie Gilmore, but I think with just a bit more power and aggression.

Enright is pretty happy with her win, “I’m so overwhelmed with excitement to be in such a huge event! I’ve looked up to Mick (Fanning) and Joel (Parkinson) and Steph (Gilmore) my whole life watching them surf this perfect wave. So to be able to surf a CT heat out at Bells is still crazy to think about! I think I’m still just so excited that I’m able to surf a contest with all the girls I’ve looked up to and a wave I love! Kobie Enright has great role models with her being a member of the mighty Snapper Rocks Surfriders, and growing up at the Superbank. With her sponsor, Rip Curl, she has Tel. 07 5576 6299 had the chance to surf Bells www.ffsqld.com.au Beach a few times before. “I’ve been coming to bells 12/43 Tallebudgera Creek Rd, West Burleigh AUSTRALIAN CREDIT LICENCE 393599 for the last 4 years now and love it more and more every “Think Finance, Think Frasers” time!” Enright obviously comfortable with the wave. “I have a couple Victorian Home Loan Health Check? families that take me in as Car Finance? their own which is super nice, Call us, we can help you. so always love coming to see 16498 them and finally be in some

colder weather”. A little bit tongue in cheek there, “I would love to Thank ripcurl for the amazing opportunity and all my friends and family that have supported me helped me get to where I am, without the support of them I wouldn’t be here!” It has been a great year for Kobie Enright, but I asked her what were her goals for the year, “Of course the ultimate goal is to qualify for the World Tour, but once I found out I was in the trials (for Bells), all I wanted to do was win so I could surf a CT Event at one of my favourite breaks. Just taking every heat and contest as it comes for the rest of the year and hoping for the best!” The Rip Curl Pro has a great history of Wildcards winning the event, with Nicky Wood, Joe Engel, and Mick Fanning all winning from the trials. Watch this space, the events’ waiting period has started already, and with some solid waves Kobie Enright may just rattle some cages!

Fare Thee Well Mick!

Well with the Rip Curl Pro underway at Bells Beach, it marks the final World Tour event for Mick Fanning. What a history he has in surfing, and I had the pleasure of calling his winning wave at Bells Beach when he won his first event as a wildcard in 2001. I still have the old shirt autographed by the then 18 year old, “I know you love Bells Tappa!” is scrawled over the shirt along with a giant autograph. Fast forward 17 years on, 3 world titles, 4 Bells wins, numerous other event wins, there is not much Mick Fanning has not done in the sport. Mick Fanning and Mark Richards are the only surfers with 4 Bells, MP, Parko, and Slater all have 3 wins. To me it would be fitting for Mick to finish where he started, and wrapping up his career with a win for his final event at Bells Beach. Sometimes fairy tales do come true, and Mick needs no help to get the win as he is still absolutely ripping! Looking forward to seeing it all unfold. Looks like we will have plenty of waves over the Easter Break, a solid swell predicted, and the same story is the same for Bells Beach. Stay safe and get tubed, and check out all the action from Bells.

A nail biting final race

THE SUNDAY morning juniors session went well with 25 kids having fun on the water in the Sabots and X3 dinghies. With a wealth of top level sailing experience at the club the Juniors have the potential to become excellent sailors. Seven of the juniors stayed on for the afternoon race to crew with seniors on larger boats and will move on to skippering their own boats in Juniors racing next season. A big turn-out for the last major race of the summer series - 23 boats with 45 crew. By the afternoon the stage was set for the most competitive sailing on the Tweed for years – the final heats of the Northern Rivers Corsair and Multihull Class Championships. Concerns about a lack of wind was unfounded and conditions on the water turned out to be perfect with the easterly breeze making most legs of the course an easy straight drag race. The Corsair positions proved a nail biting stage and it was impossible to predict the final championship results for the Corsairs. Top Corsair “Odin” skipper Daniel Sieders only needed a 4th placing to win the whole series and last year’s winner “Swell Lady” skipper Monique Smith needed to place 1st to be in the running. The next three crews down the ranking all had a chance at 2nd place for the series with a good result. So, all eyes were on the nine Corsairs at the very crowded start with skippers

maneuvering at close quarters to get to the ideal start position. Corsair 104 Melita III ran out of space at the windward end of the line and had to give way with a speedy u-turn for a 2nd attempt to cross the line. After the gun it was short leg to the top mark so the 23 boats were still tightly bunched as they rounded the first five marks four abreast, with not one collision being a testament to their skill. The long reach up river started to spread the fleet out, despite their hitch at the start, Melita III steamed ahead and was in the lead of the Corsair fleet after the first lap 30 seconds ahead of “Keenas” with “Swell Lady” only 10 seconds behind them. By the 2nd lap Swell Lady had recovered to 2nd place but Melita III was still 2 minutes ahead. The other Corsairs were fighting for placings too with Peter Ross on 107 “Rockin’ Robyn” having his best race to date with crew Mark Storrier from club sponsors Ecomist, taking first place in the overall handicap point score. Alison Blatcher, Marg Walgers & Karen Vidler brought Melita III home for her first win of the season over five minutes in front of 2nd placed “Swell Lady” (Monique Smith, Matthew Andrews, Deborah Flannery) with only 10 seconds behind in 3rd “Minnow” (Bill Fenelon, Max Hennessy & Robert Preston). Jimmy Nickless would be pleased with 4th for first time on the helm

of “Epic” with Peter Skinner and only 20 seconds behind, Peter Ross came in 5th. “Keenas” (Mark Reynolds, Craig Foley, Taj Krasna) dropped back to 6th with 7th “Nimbus” (Kevin Bourke, Sally Machray & Filipe Saraiva). 8th went to Adam Hurt on “Capers” in his first Corsair race with Tom Busbridge alongside Mick “Beef” O’Keefe they managed to beat “Odin” in a surprise final result with Odin’s crew cheering everyone on from the back of the fleet! Multihulls also had their final yardstick based championship race today with three boats competing John and Saffron Cooke took 1st on Weta “Scored a Tri”. All sailors were also competing in the

Cudgen wins 2018 LJ Hooker Final

CUDGEN HAS triumphed over Pottsville Beach in the Far North Coast LJ Hooker League cricket tournament in 2018. The match was played on Saturday, March 24, and Sunday, March 25, and ‘the battle for Tweed supremacy’ went down to the wire according to Cudgen Captain Jamie Wilson. “The Cudgen Hornets were chasing down the Pottsville Pelicans total of 175 in the last hour of play with four wickets in hand,” he said. “Pottsville won the toss and elected to bat but started shakily losing captain Jamie Bennett and Arren Laycock to a fired up Conner Ziebell before Jayden Hoare and Tait Burns steadied the ship, leaving Pottsville 2-80 at lunch.

“Rain hampered proceedings and when play got underway James Julius picked up the key wicket of Jayden Hoare and Ziebell produced the ball of the day to skittle Burns stumps for 41.” Mr Wilson said Sabah Syed ground out a tidy 45 but some tight bowling from the veterans Anthony Kershler and Terry Wilson helped restrict Pottsville to 175. “Wilson finished with 3 wickets and Ziebell collected 5 while Julius toiled for 29 overs for his 2 wickets,” he said. “Pottsville bowler Ryan McCloy started his team off perfectly with the wicket of Heath Wilson before Caleb Ziebell and Alec Williams combined for a near century stand. “But when Tait Burns got rid of Williams and Hoare trapped Ziebell LBW, Pottsville we’re right

THE BRANCH Championships set down for last Sunday, March 25, at Lennox Head were cancelled late Saturday afternoon due to surf conditions with surf breaking 400metres out, no gutter and conditions such as to be impossible to lay the competition buoys. Members competition gear was packed into our container for transport to Perth for the Australian Titles last Sunday. Truck transport to Brisbane and leaving by rail last Tuesday and arriving in Perth six days later. The Youth Titles, U13yr to U15yr will be held on April 14 and 15, Masters on April 16 and 17 and Opens April 18 to 22. Congratulations to our new IRB Crew Certificate members who completed their training and assessment last Sunday. Ben Lee, Sean Alcorn, Mia Taylor, Jack Craig, Maddy Crawley and Brendon Piccini. This Friday our nippers will have a twilight session to welcome 12 young members of the Japan Swim School and introduce them to surf activities. They will be billeted by our members over the weekend. Looking back it is 40 years since our Club hosted the Australian Inter-State and Inter-Club Championships over Easter in 1978. The Inter-state teams were given a Civic Reception at the Murwillumbah Council Chambers. The surf had everything needed for a Championship and

back in it. “Alex Manteit made a crucial 29 for the home team but when McCloy was reintroduced he picked up the wickets of Manteit and Dylan Stoddart to have Cudgen at 5-117.” Mr Wilson and Conner Ziebell produced a 40 run stand before Ziebell was out off the bowling of Sabah Syed. Youngster Lachie Wylie was next in and he and Wilson combined to help get Cudgen home, with the 17-year -old Wylie hitting the winning runs. Pottsville Beach President Oscar van Megchelen said it was a great contest with both clubs on top at different stages. “The three-hour rain delay during our batting innings slowed our momentum and changed our batting plans and gave Cudgen

last of the 10 race series of the individual handicap point score to get their name on the big trophy awarded at the annual dinner. The final results of all five heats of the class champs will be announced then too - so the wait’s not over yet. Kate Yeomans must be in with a chance – she took 1st out of the 7 Lasers but none of them could beat Tim Brown on his Impulse. New skipper Rainer Glasker with crew Tara Beth had their best race yet in the club’s Access 303. They are looking for more competitors in this division. Two more Access dinghies are available and Mirrors, Sabots can also compete. All welcome. 0411 123 405 or tvscmail@gmail.com www.tvsc.com.au

competitors numbered 3,882, which was more than the Melbourne Olympics. The final result as witnessed by the 25,000 people on the Sunday, which is probably the largest crowd ever to a sporting event on the Tweed and was televised around Australia and hailed by competitors and officials as the best conducted in the history of Surf Life Saving as well as the first to make a profit, hailed by the Australian Secretary as the “Bonanza”. More than 400 persons from local organisations and clubs assisted in public and official catering, selling of programmes and manning parking areas. The production of the 100-page programme was made possible by local advertisers and free viewing of the carnival by National sponsors. A big club effort was the silk screening of 4000 T-Shirts, some working bees went into the early hours of the morning. A 15 man team manned the tractors supplied by Roadfield Equipment in the boat area. Mini-trikes were supplied by Bennett-Honda. Security was handled by the 41st RNSWR Army Reserve at night. The Sydney VAD recorded 311 treatings whilst Kingscliff Ambulance assisted. Lindsey Bros provided a huge refrigerated unit over the carnival. Committees were headed by Keith Kennedy Chairman, also publicity and printing Norm Knight. Secretary Charlie Buchanan, Treasurer Keith Sutton, Carnival Operations Rob Blanch, Public Catering Brian Sutton, Officials Catering John Borrowdale, Parking and Security Bob Moore Carnival Gear. Amongst guests on the final day were Sir Adrian Curlewis, the National President who opened our new Club building

grade competition was a massive achievement. “I’m extremely proud of all the senior players and also can’t thank our juniors, committee and supporters enough.”
