By David WIGLEY FIVE bands performed at Red-C Events last weekend as live entertainment on the Coffs Coast shows green shoots of optimism following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Although there is a long way to go, local bands are seeing an uptick in interest following an annus horribilis. Lead singer of local band The Orlandos Simon Gardiner told News Of The Area, “2020 was like a doomsday movie, we were very lucky here in Coffs to have a venue like Red-C, which gave a few lucky

Green shoots of optimism for local muso's as restrictions ease and events scheduled FROM Page 1 musos the opportunity to play some gigs, although with some restrictions. “Some musician friends of mine in Melbourne were not so fortunate and some venues down there have closed the doors never to return. “Things will never be the same after 2020, there’s some green shoots just starting here in Coffs, the phone is starting to ring again, we can only hope that 2020 will be a distant memory of a nightmare that we never expected,” said Gardiner. Red-C Director Jane Reidy told News Of The Area what the easing of restrictions means. “Asking people to sit down and not to dance was really challenging for us, music makes you feel happy and you want to move, so having to tell people to sit down was really frustrating for everyone. “It was important we remained COVID compliant, but it was a tough conversation to have every day and we are really pleased to be moving forwards, and that our patrons can dance again. “We are also optimistic about the NSW Dine and Discover scheme which is just starting to trickle through, that will be a helpful addition to move forwards as we are registered for both the Dine and Discover vouchers. “For the first time in over a

Gumbaynggirr Elders Set Up Camp To Protest Logging Plans

FROM Page 1

Greens Legislative Council MP, David Shoebridge says that an analysis of Forestry Corporation data shows the profit from native forest logging in 2019/20 was just $28.00 a hectare, down from a high of $225.85 in 2016/17. The Greens estimate that every hectare of native forest contains an average yield of 140 mature trees, which equates to an average profit of less than 20 cents for each mature tree logged. Mr Shoebridge said, “No one could look at all the damage caused to forests, waterways and wildlife by native forest logging and say that, at less than 20 cents a tree, it is a worthwhile endeavour.” When contacted by News Of The Area, a Forestry Corporation spokesperson said, “The renewable timber harvesting operation planned for Newry State Forest in the coming months will be conducted under the legal framework of the Coastal Integrated Forestry Operations Approval. “While Forestry Corporation respects the views and opinions of members of the community,

we ask that they voice these away from active forest operation worksites as this can be dangerous for both the members of the public and the workers.” Gumbaynggirr elders say this is the largest piece of unburnt native forest remaining in Northern NSW following the 2019 fires. To support them, more than 200 concerned citizens

attended the opening of the Newry State Forest Blockade last Saturday, April 10. Traditional owner and Gumbaynggirr elder, Uncle Miklo Jarrett, officially opened the camp with family members. “There is a lot of harmony and good feelings about being in the forest,” he said. “We have people from all

walks of life, such as school principals, shire councillors, solicitors, families and Gumbaynggirr elders.” Uncle Miklo thanked the organisers of the opening and the BEC for its support on behalf of the Gumbaynggirr people and said the camp was a real team effort from everyone. He noted that women outnumbered men at the

www.newsofthearea.com.au

camp and that women were taking on leadership roles in environmental protection. “I am here not only to protect the forest but the animals within this forest,” he said. Campers hope the opening event and ongoing blockade at Camp Nunguu will send strong messages to NSW Forestry Corporation that logging native forests

will not be tolerated by surrounding communities. They believe that native forests must be safeguarded to protect threatened species habitat and contribute to a healthier climate, as well as reducing the likelihood of large-scale bushfires in the future. The campers say they have the support of the surrounding local communities whose vision for the Newry State Forest is the survival of precious and irreplaceable native plants and animals. They urge everyone who values native forests, healthy waterways, animals, sacred land and their children’s future to help out now at Camp Nunguu. Uncle Miklo told News Of The Area, “I am protecting this forest for future generations of Gumbaynggirr and nonGumbaynggirr people. “We have looked after the land for thousands of years and to see the forests and animals disappearing is very upsetting. “It is now up to everyone to protect the land,” he said. Directions and more information are available at the Facebook page of the Gumbaynggirr Conservation Group.

Commemorating ANZAC Day ANZAC Day takes place on Sunday April 25, and is a day for us to remember the sacrifice of all Australian and New Zealand military personnel who have served our nations for over a century. Federal Member for Cowper, Pat Conaghan said ANZAC Day is an opportunity for us all to pay our respects and show our gratitude for the service and sacrifice of all those who have served and

provided us with the freedoms we enjoy today. “The mid-north coast has a proud history of military service, and last year, with the challenges of coronavirus, we found new and creative ways to honour those who serve and have served,” said Mr Conaghan. “Many of us attended driveway vigils at dawn, arranged private floral tributes, and contacted

current and former defence personnel to check in and simply say thank you. “There are a number of ways we can commemorate ANZAC Day, and I encourage everyone to attend a local service if possible to reflect and show your respect,” Mr Conaghan said. You can mark ANZAC Day by: ● Attending a local community dawn or

commemorative service (pending the latest health advice). ● Tuning in to the ABC to Watch the Dawn Service and National Ceremony live from the Australian War Memorial. ● Leaving a poppy and personalised Anzac Day message on the Virtual Poppy Wall at https://lestweforget. gov.au alongside thousands of other Australians.

Investing in Women funding 2021

By Andrea FERRARI WOMEN’S projects are the focus of funding through the annual NSW Government’s Investing in Women funding program. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh is encouraging the Coffs Coast to get involved. Local organisations with projects empowering women and promoting their wellbeing can apply for a share of the funding. Applications are open until Friday, 23 April. “Coffs Coast women can have greater access to programs designed to improve their financial, physical and mental wellbeing,” said Mr Singh. Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor said the initiatives funded under

the program would support women in a range of objectives from employment and training to leadership development. “From finding ways to improve women’s financial

wellbeing and security to promoting health and mental fitness for all ages, we are looking for projects that can really make a difference to people’s lives,” Mrs Taylor said.

Coffs Jetty Revitalisation Upcoming Community Consultation The NSW Government is continuing with the development of a community-led master plan for the revitalisation and activation of the Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshore Precinct.

Earlier this year, Mr Singh visited a local Coffs recipient from the 2020 Investing in Women funding program. The State Government allocated $50,000 to Associate Professor Gillian Gould and her all-women team of Aboriginal and non-Indigenous researchers and Aboriginal and non-Indigenous health experts’ collaborative effort, who created the MAMAEMPOWER App which promotes healthy Indigenous pregnancy. Professor Gould said, “The

funding is helping us develop and test a new design for the app which we anticipate will be more interactive and engaging. “The app helps Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women set their own healthy goals during pregnancy.”

Dr Nicole Ryan, who works closely with Professor Gould in MAMA-EMPOWER app research and development added, “We created a prototype app in 2018/19 that was tested by pregnant Aboriginal women from two regional communities. “The women told us that they loved the content information and visual appeal of the app but they also said that it was slow and not userfriendly. “The funding is allowing further development into an easy to navigate app that can be used without internet connection. “It has also enabled us to personalise the content so that the pregnant women can follow personas from different backgrounds with their own health change stories.” With trialling amongst the user group, the app is in ongoing development.

Spectacular lightning storm makes stunning viewing DID you see Saturday evening’s spectacular, silent lightning storm out to sea against a dark moonless starfilled night sky? Daniel Barty, forecaster at the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) told News Of The Area, “The long-lived storm started around 8:30pm, 120km SE of Coffs Harbour and gradually moved northeast over several hours. “By 1am it was about 260 km E from Coffs Harbour. “Significant lightning activity was associated with the thunderstorm. “It looks like it was generated by the wind change moving up the coast. “The wind change came from the cold front and trough.” Sandy Beach resident, Liam Eaton, who captured a great shot of the storm said, “I just happened to notice it when I knocked off work on the night and went down for a quick photo at Woolgoolga. “These sort of spectacular nature shows are quite common in the area. “The lack of moon did make for a better star-gazing

Lowering energy costs for community groups COMMUNITY groups across the mid-north coast will be supported by a new Australian Government program aimed at lowering energy costs, supporting local jobs and helping reduce global emissions. The Powering Communities Program will fund up to 12 projects worth

a total of $67,700 across the mid-north coast, with grants of between $5,000 and $12,000 available to eligible community groups, with no co-contribution required. Member for Cowper, Pat Conaghan MP said energy bills are often one of the biggest overheads for not-for-profit organisations.

“Whether it’s a sports club, senior citizens club or a charity group, the grants will ease the financial pressure these organisations face so they can better focus on meeting the needs of our local community,” said Mr Conaghan. “We recognise the great work that the many

community groups across the mid-north coast do and understand that meeting regular costs such as energy bills can be difficult, which also distracts them from what they do best, which is serve and support our community.” The grants will assist in lowering energy bills by installing solar panels or

a battery, upgrading air conditioners, hot water systems or refrigerator’s with more efficient models, replacing lighting with LEDs or conducting an energy audit. “I really encourage local community to groups to submit an expression of interest for funding under the Powering Communities Program by Thursday May 6,” added Mr Conaghan. “This can be done through my website patconaghan.com. au or if you need assistance, please call my office on 6652 6233 or 5507 9555.”

Kat McKinnon, from Coffs Harbour said, “As a bit of a weather watcher and storm chaser, I noticed the lightning flashes at a distance from my bedroom window. “Looking on BOM the only system nearby appeared to be one that was SE of Coffs Harbour, closer to Port Macquarie. “Considering how vivid the lightning show was I felt it worth the drive to see if I could track the storm. “I took a trip to the Marina where I happened on a point with a perfect view. “The storm was incredible, but more so when I posted the photo on Facebook (Coffs Harbour Weather Watch Group) there were comments of the storm all the way from Yamba down to at least Repton. “I felt it unusual to see such an active storm that according to the radar was so far away, yet seemed so close, and could be seen from such a distance. “Probably one of the most intriguing storms I have witnessed, due to its intensity.”

SWIFF’21 Highlights - How to get

SWIFF’21, presented again by tailormade furniture company Ashton Designs, will host a record 120 different sessions to experiences from April 14-29. Here are the highlights: SWIFF Expands to CHEC SWIFF has been growing quickly – nearly 40% every year. So, for the festival’s sixth outing, SWIFF will expand to the Coffs Harbour Education Campus, in addition to the Jetty Memorial Theatre. CHEC will be home to a huge events space, including a beer garden, café, and nine full days of programming at the 350-capacity CHEC Theatre, plus the Closing Night Gala and afterparty. SWIFF Festival Patron: Jack Thompson Known as ‘The flagship of the Australian film industry’, Jack Thompson has a film career spanning over 50 years, starring in his first feature film, Wake In Fright, in 1971. Thompson will chair a Festival Patron team also featuring Sydney Film Prize-winning documentarian Sascha Ettinger-Epstein (Destination Arnold, The Pink House), and rising star Aaron Glenane carving out his own legacy with acclaimed performances in Killing Ground, Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan, and Netflix’s Snowpiercer. Where to start? With an extensive film program, the best way to experience SWIFF is to throw yourself in the deep end and get out of your comfort zone.

With a line-up so full of unique films, you can throw a dart at the schedule and pick a winner. The good thing is there are so many options you can basically design your own mini festival. The hard part - where to begin? Award Magnets The line-up at SWIFF’21 boasts a lot of awards trophy hardware. Daniel Kaluuya and Lakeith Stanfield are sweeping Best Acting nominations for the powerful Black Panther civil rights revolution drama Judas & The Black Messiah, with the film also nominated for Best Film and Best Screenplay at the upcoming Oscars. Chalking up 191 wins of its own and making director Chloe Zhao the first Asian American woman nominated for the Best Director Oscar is roaming charmer Nomadland, starring two-time Oscar-winner Frances McDormand. Minari, a beautifully nuanced film about a young Korean family chasing the American Dream in Arkansas, took out Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globes, and is being recognised by the Academy for its nuanced performances, touching score and it’s moving screenplay. Thomas Vinterberg is nominated at the Oscars for Best Director for his new and personal film Another Round, following four curious drunken Danish teachers and starring Mads Mikkelsen. For documentary lovers, don’t miss the recently Oscar nominated The Mole Agent, a heart-warming aged-care caper, or the exceptional

Collective, named one of the best films about journalism ever made. Indie Comedies While there are many nuanced dramas in the line-up, if you’re just after a laugh you’re in luck too. Hidden gem indie comedies are a special type, and SWIFF is thrilled to feature the latest from beloved indie-auteur Miranda July with the offbeat scam artist flick Kajillionaire. Feel the punk rock troublemaking spirit in coming-of-age black comedy Dinner In America, and be charmed by taboo-busting heartwarmer Saint Frances. Take a step out of time with the utterly romantic yet absurd Golden Voices, following aging Russian voice over artists, or experience a truth that is stranger than fiction with a dive into a Floridian retirement town where sex, drugs, and rock n roll persevere in offbeat doco Some Kind of Heaven.

the best out of one of Australia’s premier film festivals SWIFF’21 runs from April 14-29.

International Documentaries SWIFF is bringing a bumper crop of non-fiction films to the festival - mirroring the volatile year that 2020 was. Welcome to Chechnya uses deep fake technology to hide the identities of persecuted gay and lesbian people in Chechnya – where activists are running against the clock to help victims escape persecution by the state. In Cockroach, Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei lobs a Molotov cocktail at the establishment with street-level view of the Hong Kong riots, and the Romanian doco Collective has been dubbed one of the greatest movies about journalism ever made. On the lighter side of nonfiction, there’s a selection of heartwarming true stories, including Joaquin Phoenix

executive-produced experimental silent film following the life of a pig named Gunda, and the award-sweeping Norweigian The Painter and the Thief about an artist creating a portrait of a charismatic drug addict that stole her artworks from a gallery. Dog lovers out there will not want to miss the poignant Stray or the environmentally conscious, utterly charming The Truffle Hunters, which follows a reclusive community of Italians and their beloved truffling hounds, in a similar vein to SWIFF’20’s Honeyland. The list of documentaries this year is diverse and sprawling, so well worth a deep dive through the print program. Live Festival performances Connecting cinema and music is a vital part of the recipe that makes up SWIFF. This April the festival is welcoming Latin guitar legends Slava and Leonard Grigoryan to the stage as they perform the live soundtrack to a screening of heartwarming, family-friendly, magical-realism masterpiece A Boy Called Sailboat live on stage. Or those who like their tunes of the desert blues variety and their films on the grittier side, SWIFF is bringing in Rhyece O’Neill Band to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Australia’s stunning, awe-inspiring ‘great lost film’. With an original live soundtrack, experience Ted Kotcheff’s 1971 vivid outback sunburner Wake in Fright like never before. The Nextwave Youth Film Awards, SWIFF’s most highly attended event, is a family-friendly gala event celebrating young regional filmmakers aged 10-25. With red carpet arrival, live music, the premiere screening of the top 22 films created for the annual Nextwave competition, and the awarding of tens of thousands of dollars in prizes for the next generation of regional filmmakers. SWIFF Closing Night Gala always ends with a bang. Hosted at CHEC Theatre this year, audiences will watch a screening of the blistering Mogul Mowgli, starring an exceptional Riz Ahmed as a UK MC spitting truth to power – to be followed by an ethnocyberfunk live, world music performance by Coco Varma, Bobby Singh, & Ben Walsh for SWIFF’21’s grand finale. Premieres Audiences at SWIFF will be some of the first in Australia to see brand new films. The festival hosts seven Australian Premieres, six NSW Premieres, and 23 World Premieres of short films.

Australian Premieres include Viggo Mortensen’s directorial debut with the family drama Falling, the UNICEF Award-winning Polish holocaust epic The Painted Bird, UK youth drug-smuggling social drama County Lines, hard-hitting Filipino anti-Duterte doco A Thousand Cuts, the eye-opening French gender identity documentary Little Girl, Wildfire tells the story of sisters reconciling in post-conflict Ireland, and The Macaluso Sisters, stunningly told over multiple decades as it follows a family of Italian sisters through good and hard times.

New date for postponed Coffs Harbour Memory Walk & Jog LOCALS are getting ready for the rescheduled 2021 Coffs Harbour Memory Walk & Jog event, which will be held this Saturday 17 April 2021 at Jordan Esplanade. Walk, jog or run along

the beautiful esplanade anytime between 8am and 4pm on the day. The event provides a great way to get active and help beat dementia by completing whatever distance you choose, and

at a time that suits you! Originally planned for March, the event was postponed due to weather conditions. Dementia Australia would like to thank all those registered to

Crews from Transport for NSW, Bellingen Shire Council and local contractors worked over the Easter long weekend to reopen the road which has been closed since Friday 19 March after 500mm of rain caused multiple landslips. NSW Minister for Water, Property and Housing Melinda Pavey said, “Restoring it as quickly as possible has been the priority. “While the road has been closed, there was restricted access for emergency services and teams who were working to restore essential water, sewer and power services to the local community,” Mrs Pavey said. “The task included five major landslips and 12 minor slips. “The narrow roadway made it difficult for machinery and equipment to access the area to carry out essential tasks.” Mrs Pavey said the cuttings in some of the areas are up to 30

Airport lease funds debated by councillors

By Emma DARBIN FUTURE proceeds from the recent leasing of Coffs Harbour Airport to Palisade Investment Partners and confidentiality issues surrounding these proceeds caused debate among local councillors recently. At Coffs Harbour City Council’s (CHCC) meeting on 26 November 2020, after a four stage process, Council resolved to enter into a long term lease of the Coffs Harbour Airport with Palisade Investment Partners. On 9 December the Implementation Agreement, Equity Commitment Deed and Independent Certifier Deed were executed. The lease process is expected to be completed shortly. After much debate at Council’s Ordinary Meeting on Thursday 25 March, councillors unanimously decided to approve a motion by Cr Sally Townley to adopt a separate internal reserve/ fund governance approach to hold the airport lease proceeds and conduct a Councillor workshop to discuss parameters for the governance of the investment and expenditure of the funds. A recent report

undertaken by KPMG on the holding and governance of the airport lease proceeds stated the 50 year lease, plus a 49 year option, is expected to provide Council with ‘proceeds’ of up to $131m, including $81.5m in fixed payments (received in 2021 and 2027), and a further $61.5m in revenue sharing mechanisms over the full lease term. The value of the airport lease to the community is forecast at almost $500m over the term of the 50 year lease and 49 year option. “The Lease proceeds are to be paid in stages to CHCC by way of an upfront payment on lease execution, deferred fixed payments and a

number of revenue sharing mechanisms and outperformance payments,” the report stated. Cr Sally Townley stated at the Council meeting that this was “probably one of the biggest decisions that we’ve made.” “It’s a large amount of money, it’s a very very long commitment,” Cr Townley said. “It opens up a whole realm of

q Cr Paul Amos has stated that the current Council should not spend any airport lease funds in this term of Council as an act of good faith to the community.

possibilities for use of that money in ways which are going to benefit the community for the next 100 years.” Cr Townley said she, “would guess that all councillors would be in agreement that the monies accruing from the airport certainly deserve to go into their own separate internal reserve. “I don’t think that there’s necessarily a big hurry to nail down what we would like to do with this money and the money is going to come in different forms, there’s going to be some up front payments and then over the next coming years there’s going to

be profit sharing,” Cr Townley said. Cr Townley stated that this year’s incoming Council may like to have some input into how the lease proceeds were used, as well as the local community. Cr Paul Amos agreed with Cr Townley and said it would be up to the incoming Council’s over the next 100 years as to how to spend the airport lease proceeds. “It won’t be up to us, it will be up to each individual Council for the next 100 years, we’ve just got to trust them,” Cr Amos stated. “We’ve just got to be prepared to have the next 100 years of councillors taking the

reins and spending it as they wish, because it’s a fact that they’ll be able to do that. “I would certainly add that as an act of good faith that we would undertake not to spend any airport funds in this term of Council.” Cr Amos questioned when the timing and amount of the lease proceeds would be made available to the public, and no longer remain confidential information. Council’s Director of Business Services Andrew Beswick replied that the revenue from the Airport lease would be made public once it is received by Council as it will be disclosed through Council’s accounts.

Safety concern raised over school pick up in Woolgoolga By Emma DARBIN

SAFETY concerns surrounding Woolgoolga Public School at school pickup time have been raised by Coffs Harbour City councillor John Arkan at a recent Council meeting. Cr Arkan expressed to Council at its Ordinary Meeting on Thursday 25 March his concerns around a lack of parking in Scarborough Street where the school is located. “Woolgoolga is growing rapidly and we really need to have a look at the roads and the parking situation overall,” Cr Arkan said. Cr Arkan showed fellow councillors photographs he had taken outside of

Woolgoolga Public School of an afternoon when buses and parents arrive to collect students. “There’s cars coming and reversing, the busses are all intertwined with the crossings and the car parks either side,” Cr Arkan stated. Cr Arkan instead suggested using the roadside beside Woolgoolga Skatepark and Centennial Reserve in Beach Street where there is already a bus stop for a pick up area for the school students. “There’s no cars down there, there’s no grouping of traffic,” Cr Arkan said. “There’s actually a concrete walkway that comes down the hill to that little canteen area there.

q A lack of available parking around Woolgoolga Public School has been raised as a safety concern by Coffs Harbour City councillor John Arkan.

“This would reduce the entanglement of cars, parents, buses, children in Scarborough Street.” Cr Arkan called on Council to provide a report on the issue, particularly on the use of Beach Street as a school pickup area. “I really want to have a look at that option there, in regards to Woolgoolga,” Cr Arkan said. “The bus kids would come down to that pick up. “I’m keen to get the report coming back and I hope you all support it.” Cr Tegan Swan said it was a “really brilliant idea” but that the parking issues at the school were not an isolated incident. “If you look at pretty

much the majority of schools across our LGA this is an ongoing issue,” Cr Swan said. Cr Swan called on Council to require supporting infrastructure from the State Government when schools are developed within the local government area. “The individual schools don’t have the capacity to do this infrastructure work,” Cr Swan said. “What opportunities are available to us to work with State Government and the schools to be able to do this and other projects to make them safer because it’s ongoing, it’s everywhere, it’s a nightmare.” Council’s General Manager Steve McGrath said Council could bring back a

report on the issue. “The State Government's approach to new developments around hospitals normally, around police stations, courthouses is that they don’t always factor in the ancillary infrastructure that’s necessary like parking etc.,” Mr McGrath said. “We’ve had some success in negotiating good outcomes in that space, but it’s been a challenge. “But nevertheless, we can bring some information back about that.” Cr Keith Rhoades said he would be seeking a further report from Council in the future to try and get a missing link of footpath outside of Mary Help of

Christians Primary School at Toormina fixed, which school students currently have to negotiate around. “Child safety is paramount,” Cr Rhoades stated. Councillors unanimously agreed for Council to investigate and bring back a report, looking at and providing options for parking and “children drop off areas” at Woolgoolga Public School, with the report to mention and investigate the use of Beach Street alongside Centennial Reserve as a spot for school buses to drop off and pick up students. The Council report will be presented to councillors at a future Council meeting.

IN the wake of flooding in NSW, Mission Australia is calling for an increase in wellplanned, well-designed social housing stock that is not built in natural disaster zones. The charity says more social homes would alleviate pressure on people already at risk of homelessness in the face of future natural disasters. There is a severe lack of available affordable rentals in regional, rural and remote

“Mission Australia recognises that the effects of climate change impact acutely on the most vulnerable members of society. “As part of our ongoing commitment to ensure people in our communities have a safe, secure and welcoming place to call home, we are calling for more wellplanned, well-designed social housing stock that is not built in high risk natural disaster zones. An increase in social housing would go a long way in helping to house people on low incomes, help end homelessness and build resilience to the effects of climate change and natural disaster,” said Mr Toomey.

NSW floods show need for more social housing areas. Many towns and regional cities are experiencing rental vacancy rates below one percent. This means that affordable housing is almost non-existent for people on low incomes. The lack of affordable rental properties in regional and rural Australia is due to an increase in short-term holiday accommodation and the COVID pandemic which has meant more people moving

from the cities to the regions, fewer people moving out of the regions and more working from home arrangements. For example, coastal areas in NSW have seen an increase in housing costs as tourists or sea changers in search of affordable housing move from Sydney. This has resulted in increasing competition for affordable properties and heightened the risk of homelessness among many

locals on low to moderate incomes. Mission Australia CEO James Toomey said, “Across the country we hear stories about people pushed into homelessness, they might be sleeping in relatives’ sheds, or on their grandchildren’s bedroom floors. “In the areas that have just experienced property damage due to recent flooding, the situation is about to become much worse. “People made homeless by the floods will have limited access to affordable housing, and further pressure

will be put on those who were already at risk of homelessness as the number of available affordable properties declines further. “In NSW, there are more than 50,000 people on the social waiting housing list and only 22 percent of social housing stock is in regional areas. “One of the lessons of last year’s bushfires was that people experiencing homelessness in disasters and emergency events are greatly impacted by the existing lack of affordable and temporary housing.

Bellingen’s Rose Patch hosts local birders

q Gary Phillips guides birders around The Rose Patch. By Andrea FERRARI BELLINGEN Birders, for the first time, gathered at The Rose Patch, a 32-acre property off Hydes Creek, just outside Bellingen, newly owned by members Gary and Keri Phillips. A beautiful morning with clear sunny skies greeted the gathering birders. With boots on and binoculars ready, the group split into two, with one led by Gary Phillips and the other by Ian Kethel. Gary led the groups around the gardens and forest of his new home, The Rose Patch, while Ian took the

groups along Kethel’s Road. Ian has a wealth of local knowledge as the previous owner of The Rose Patch, a home he built on land that has been in his family for over 100 years. “Despite the fact that Autumn is upon us and the birdlife has become quiet and less conspicuous, the groups were treated to a good mix of species across the variety of habitats that the two routes covered,” said Gary. “The gardens and forest at The Rose Patch, provide very contrasting habitats, with the gardens being very open and quite formal, with a surrounding band of rough

Statement of Intent signed to protect school students By Emma DARBIN

A STATEMENT of Intent signed by all three education sectors on 26 March is the first step in driving cultural change around sexual violence. Government, Catholic and Independent schools have agreed to help drive community and cultural change around sexual assault and violence by signing a Statement of Intent to strengthen the understanding of consent and harm prevention in the school community. NSW Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning Sarah Mitchell welcomed the crosssector agreement, saying it was an important first step by the education sector in leading meaningful change to address this community-wide challenge. “The testimonies of so many young people have created momentum on a whole-of-society issue that requires a coordinated response across government and the community,” Ms Mitchell said. “While this is a wholeof-society challenge, the statement signed by the three education heads acknowledges the key role schools and teachers, in partnership with parents and parent organisations, will play in supporting change for people of school age and in the broader community. “Through this Statement of Intent all education systems make a commitment to the young women who have spoke out with such strength: that we will do whatever is

in our power as leaders and educators to make sure their sisters, or their daughters, and their friends, and future generations do not have to give similar testimony.” The Statement of Intent identifies key areas where the education system and schools can lead meaningful change through curriculum provision based on evidence and best practice, increased support for teachers and school leaders, making sure the views of students are heard, and strengthening community and parent connections. Ms Mitchell called on parents, as the most important educators of children, to support this work by talking to their children about respect and consent. “These aren’t necessarily easy conversations around the dinner table and as parents we don’t always know if we have the language right,” Ms Mitchell said. As a concrete first action for the NSW public school system, the Department of Education will be reviewing and revising the resources offered to both teachers and parents to help support student learning on this important issue. Many local high schools, including Woolgoolga High School, currently run the Love Bites program for students, which promotes respectful relationships and discusses issues such as domestic and family violence and sexual assault to help prevent violence against women.

David’s work has a global reach having been translated into over 10 languages and in 2014 was inducted into the prestigious and influential Green Lifestyle Awards Hall of Fame. With great excitement, Coffs Harbour City Council’s Sustainable Living program welcomes David to Coffs where he will be presenting a very special event that showcases some of his most recent inspirational work and ideas.

$5m to rejuvenate the T.S. Vendetta building at Jetty foreshore By David TUNE

ON Wednesday 7 April Minister for Water, Property and Housing Melinda Pavey announced $5 million in stimulus funding would be used to deliver a new public waterfront building at the Jetty Foreshore. The new building would include accommodation for the TS Vendetta naval cadets, and also provide a public café, amenities and storage for watercraft. “This new, communityowned building was identified as a priority in the 2013 Coffs Harbour City Council’s Jetty4Shore master plan and will be delivered in addition to $15 million in essential services and civil infrastructure upgrades that will commence across the foreshore precinct around the same time,” Mrs Pavey said. A community-led Project Steering Committee

will initiate community consultation sessions during the year, and three regional architects have been invited to submit design ideas in the near future. Mrs Pavey also said that

the stimulus is meant to be spent in the short term, with the plan being to go to tender in three to six months’ time and is about creating jobs and opportunities for local people and businesses. Local Member for Coffs

Harbour Gurmesh Singh said, “The community wants better facilities and improved foreshores at the Jetty and the Government needs to consult with them to work out the best way to move forward.

General Manager bcu, Michael Ribbens said bcu was passionate about supporting its members and the local communities in which they live. “We understand that now, more than ever, not-for-profit groups need our support,” Mr Ribbens said. “As a customer-owned bank, any profits we make are channelled back into supporting our members, so it was important that we let our members determine where the grants were allocated. “The level of member engagement with the grants exceeded our expectations, with over 890 member votes received. “This was an incredible achievement and further highlights the importance our members place on supporting their local community.” Pregnancy Care Coffs Harbour (PCCH) was one of groups to receive a $3,000 grant. Founded twenty years ago, PCCH supports local women and families who are experiencing distress or hardship due to pregnancy. The not-for-profit group is made up of just 12 volunteers and receives no government or financial assistance, relying solely on donations and fundraising. Due to COVID-19, PCCH has been unable to conduct any of their regular fundraising events. PCCH President, Carolyn Marsh said COVID-19 had challenged the group and had a huge impact on their financial position.

“We were so thrilled to receive the grant from bcu. “We will use the money to continue to support local families in need,” Ms Marsh said. Another deserving grant recipient was the Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre (CHNC), that offers a range of support to disadvantaged, vulnerable, and marginalised groups. CHNC run a Conversation Group for some of the most disadvantaged individuals in the Coffs community and is made up of women with limited English who are recent settlers to the region. CHNC Manager, Gai Newman said the grant had increased their capacity to be innovative in the support they provide to the community. “The aim of the group is to build and strengthen the connections between women in a safe and inclusive space, so they may contribute more extensively and be a part of the Coffs Harbour community. “The grant will allow us to expand the Multicultural Community Conversation Group to cater for different levels of capabilities and interests.” Following the success of the 2020 community grants, bcu are pleased to announce the continuation of the community grants program, which will become a quarterly initiative in 2021. In a tribute to the founding treasurer of bcu, Mr Neville Spear, the grants will

be renamed the Neville Spear Community Grants. Stephen Spear, son of Neville, said the Spear family was honoured by bcu’s decision to rename its community grants after their father. “It is truly a perfect fit, as Neville and his wife Beatrice were passionate about their local community,” Mr Spear said. “This shone through in their volunteer work, commitment to organisations such as the RSL, St Vincent de Paul, Banana Growers’ Federation, and, of course, through their work in establishing bcu alongside the bcu Scholarship namesake Bill Ussher. “Neville’s children,

grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, many still living locally, know he would have been delighted with this recognition. “He was rightly proud of his role in developing one of the most highly regarded credit unions in Australia. “The Spear family is appreciative that bcu continues to pay tribute to its roots within the community.” Applications for the next round of the Neville Spear Community Grants will open shortly. For more information, or to nominate a community or not-for-profit group, visit the bcu website. Below is a full list of 2020 Bill Ussher Community Grant Recipients:

Another Blow For Koalas

ENVIRONMENTALISTS are dismayed at the latest NSW Government proposal to remove financial incentives for conservation on private properties as part of a bill to help councils increase their income from rates. Exemptions for landholders who receive government funding through

environmental offset agreements is one of the tools to protect koala habitats on private land, and the removal of them is being debated in the Legislative Assembly. When contacted by News Of the Area, Greens Legislative Council MP, David Shoebridge said, “There needs to be a long-term solution that protects environmental land from rates but also gives

councils an economic lifeline. “This policy does not strike that balance,” he said. “When it comes to environmental protections it’s hard to accept this government in good faith because it’s the same government that seems keen on making koalas extinct,” said Mr Shoebridge. This latest blow comes from the government’s desire

to mitigate local council rate rises before July 1, as councils push to gradually introduce rate rises over a four-year period Local Government Minister Shelley Hancock said that proposed council rates amendments introduced to parliament last month would include a new rating category for environmental land that removed rates exemptions for

landholders under a financial agreement. A spokesperson for Ms Hancock said the government understands that these agreements offer environmental protections, “but also impose costs on landholders and involve accepting significant restrictions on future development.” Mr Shoebridge said, “We need so much more land protected and we are most likely to achieve that if the

Pre entry is necessary via the website www. coffsharbourshowsociety. com.au to ensure sufficient cages are available and so entrants can avail their prized Moggie of a free vet inspection. A couple of simple conditions must be met, including the production of a vet vaccination certificate that is current and if the kitten is over 6 months of age a vet certificate to show the animal is desexed. The Saturday Championship show will cater for cats and kittens from all major recognised breeds with judging to take place in front of the viewing public in the Norm Jordan Pavilion at the showground. With only two Championship shows on over the 1 and 2 May it could be expected that entrants from the recent Royal Easter Show will be in Coffs Harbour seeking points towards the 2022 Royal and other interstate events.

Dragons Abreast score much needed funds By David TUNE

AFTER reading an article in News Of The Area Dragons Abreast Coffs Coast took part in the Greater Bank’s March Community Support Program in which three Mid North Coast community organisations compete in a public ballot to share in $3,000 of prize money. Dragons Abreast Coffs Coast is a local group of breast cancer survivors and supporters who gain strength and wellbeing through the exercise of dragon boat paddling and camaraderie within the group. For many breast cancer patients the change of pace after treatment can be challenging with the emphasis changing from the medical routine to the reality of re-

isations from the Mid North Coast region that they feel is most worthy, and the most popular receives $2000, and the other two community groups get $500 each. The group received over 7,000 votes and while they only just missed winning the major prize the impressive result was a testimony to the support the group enjoys within the community. “To receive just over 7,000 votes was an amazing result and we feel very proud of the community support for our group. “We aim at raising breast cancer awareness – this program has helped us to do that. “We thank the Greater Bank for this generous program and gratefully accept the cheque for $500,” said Club Coordinator, Lynn Chap-

building life, health, fitness and confidence, a major aim of Dragons Abreast is to fill

the gap that is left after treatment is over. The Greater Bank pro-

gram allows the community to vote for one of three not for profit or charitable organ-

wineries, craft breweries and craft/artisan distilleries throughout NSW and elsewhere in Australia, as well as potentially similar products from overseas. The business will stock products not generally currently available in mainstream liquor stores, giving the store a point of difference between it and existing bottle shops in

Coffs Harbour such as Dan Murphy’s and Liquorland. The expression of commitment to a boutiquestyle liquor store is intended to represent a niche and upmarket contribution to the community in response to concerns of the community. The proposed store will make premium and boutique products more accessible to customers, educating them on

their unique qualities and characteristics. “This added experience is not available currently at Coffs Harbour and will allow a customer to have a more informed decision when purchasing an alcoholic product,” the development application states. “The development will provide a safe and conveniently placed retail development that will diversity the current retail offerings in a progressive and unique way. “Due to the nature of the specially stocked boutique liquor products, this point of difference is expected to draw

The Club paddles on the second Saturday of the month on the Bellinger River at Mylestom and at other times with the Coffs Coast Dragon Boat Club. To find out more about the Club and dragon boat paddling, members will be on hand at the Senior’s Day at the Harbourside Markets next Sunday, April 18. More information about Dragons Abreast Coffs Coast can be found on their Facebook page or phone 0411 084 917. Along with getting fit and having fun, the Club is focused on raising breast cancer awareness and showing survivors that they can still lead a full life after treatment.

The proposed store is to be called Harts Bottle Shop and will sell principally craft liquors and beers, and boutique wines from small businesses. These premium boutique products, such as craft beer, craft cider, craft spirits and boutique wines will make up the bulk of the stocked product, with mainstream liquor products not exceeding 10% of the total products available for sale.

Joan celebrates 100 By Roz EVERSON

LONG time Coffs Harbour resident Joan Winifred Walker will celebrate her 100th birthday on April 19. Born in Armidale in 1921, Joan spent her primary school years in Batlow. Her father worked for NSW Railways and Joan arrived in the Coffs area in 1934, at the age of 14, when her father took up the position of Station Master at Glenreagh. Joan has fond memories of

catching the steam trains from Glenreagh to Grafton each week for piano lessons and travelling home in the guard’s van of the goods train. Her father became Station Master at Coffs Harbour in 1936 and the family moved to the Jetty, living in the Station Master’s house. Joan remembers there being just one house between the two settlements at the Jetty and ‘Top Town’ at that time. The steam trains would

stop at Coffs to take on water and passengers would alight to ‘take refreshments’, with Joan often helping to serve in the refreshment rooms. After leaving school, Joan worked at Blowes Department Store and met her future husband Harold ‘Bill’ Walker at a surf club dance in the late 1930s. They married after Bill returned from WWII service and settled on Bill’s parent’s farm, in the area known as ‘Orange Trees’ on Coramba

discovering what our real assets are and reconnecting with what the community want should inform Council thinking.

Mr Evers claims to prize the values of honesty and integrity, which he defines as, “Doing the right thing whether someone is watching or not.” Rd.

Joan and Bill spent many years growing tomatoes, peas and beans on the farm and had three children, Peter, Julie and Tom. The family spent much of their leisure time at Park Beach. Bill was a keen competitor at Surf Carnivals in his younger days and was made a lifetime member of the club. Joan sadly lost Bill to cancer in her late sixties.

Local war vet passes four days after 104th birthday By David TUNE CHARLES Burgess was born in Vienna, Austria on March 31, 1917, a year before the end of the First World War, and passed away in Bellingen on April 4 this year, four days after turning 104. In his life he experienced many traumatic times, served in three armies and fought as a volunteer in two wars, saw the invasion of his homeland, moved to Spain then Britain and eventually to Australia. Charles celebrated a major achievement in the

months prior to his death with the publication of his memoir, titled ‘Storm Clouds on the Horizon’, not so much an autobiography as a history of the turmoil in Europe before, during and after the Second World War, written from firsthand experience. After the Nazis invaded Austria, a very idealistic Charles left for Spain, and joined the ‘International Brigade’ fighting against Franco’s fascists in the Spanish Civil War. In his memoir, Charles writes that his experiences

In announcing his candidacy, Mr Evers said, “I believe Coffs Harbour deserves a strong, fresh approach to Council, and a leader with the right priorities, to ensure a better future through total transparency and true communication in consultation with our residents from all walks of life.” Mr Evers has committed to consulting as widely as possible with the community, announcing his ’30 coffees in 30 days’

initiative, commencing at the Idle Inn Café in Nana Glen from 10am on June 1, and then in Woolgoolga the following day, connecting with anyone from the community that would like to talk with him. When asked his views on the Cultural and Civic Space project Mr Evers told News Of The Area, “I would prefer to consult more directly with the community on large decisions in the future.”

Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will gather with other family and friends this weekend to celebrate Joan’s centenary. q

changed him from an idealist into a cynic, a change that colours much of his writing. With the start of the Second World War Charles enlisted in the French Foreign Legion but regretted the decision when he discovered they would be stationed in Indochina and not in Europe, where he longed to do battle with the Nazis. After serving with the Legion, he enlisted with the British Army and fought against the Afrika Korps in North Africa until the war ended. Moving to Australia saw him marry and raise two daughters, but he never lost

his love and devotion to his homeland of Austria, and this is the main thrust of his writing. When asked about her fathers’ book, daughter Maureen replied, “It spent many years as a growing pile of papers on the dining table, and woe betide if you touched any of them.” In regard to her father’s longevity Maureen told News Of The Area, “He was really stubborn and kept fit throughout his life, walked every day and believed in a spartan diet and lifestyle.” A memorial gathering will be held on Sunday April 18 from 4pm in the upstairs lounge of the Pier Hotel, please contact Maureen on 0405 703 837.

Gumbaynggirr artists the focus of Government funding for Coffs Regional Gallery

By Andrea FERRARI

A NEW project showcasing Gumbaynggirr artists is receiving $50,000 funding by the State Government, said Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh. Coffs Harbour City Council is among seventeen Councils sharing in over $1.39m in arts funds through the NSW Government’s 2021-22 Local Government Authorities (LGA) latest funding round. Mr Singh said our local project is called Yaam Gumbaynggirr Jagun: Here is Gumbaynggirr Country, Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery. “The gallery’s project will engage a First Nations curator to commission new artworks and curate an exhibition of emerging and established Gumbaynggirr artists,” Mr Singh said. Jo Besley, Gallery & Museum Curator said, “When the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery opened in 2001, one of the first exhibitions was Our Place – Images of Coffs Harbour, which

brought together historical and contemporary artworks depicting Coffs Harbour, including artists such as Margaret Preston, Elioth Gruner, Sali Herman and Tom Carment. “Yaam Gumbaynggirr Jagun has the potential to be a 21st century re-interpretation of this concept for an even more important milestone of the opening of a long-overdue cultural facility for the mid north coast of NSW. “Yaam Gumbaynggirr Jagun will engage local, regional, national and international audiences with Gumbaynggirr arts and strengthen the reputation of the Coffs Coast as a creative region, with a high quality, confident and proud arts and cultural sector,” she added. “Local arts and culture spaces are the lifeblood of the Coffs Coast, making a vital contribution to the liveability of our region and driving a sense of community and enjoyment of our everyday lives,” said Mr Singh. Minister for the Arts

Don Harwin said the NSW Government continues to support the arts and culture sector through this latest round of funding. “This is testament to the important role arts and culture plays in our local communities,” Mr Harwin said.

CHILDREN grow at a rapid rate and as parents, we only get one chance to ensure they get the best possible education. Our experienced tutors at The Education Centre understand that each child is different, and tailor their teaching methods to suit the individual learning needs of your child. Which is why our students find it easier to achieve results back in the classroom. We cater for students from kindergarten age to Year 12, with individual, face to face or online learning, and flexible tuition options to ensure your child has the best start. Don’t delay, phone us today on 02 6652 2222.

Problem solvers of tomorrow THE team at The Education Centre is passionate about helping our future generations grasp the critical skills they will need in an increasingly technological world. One of these skills is problem solving. For some students, solving problems is not intuitive, and they need to think through the issues from a range of perspectives. This is where subjects such as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths help. Talk to us today about how your child may benefit from extra tuition in these STEM subjects. This will not only support their academic ability, but also instil a feeling of confidence that they can tackle future challenges whatever they may be.

New Coffs base for The Education Centre FINALLY, within the next three weeks, we will be moving to our new permanent address of Suite 2, 36-38 Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour 2450. Our move holds exciting promise. We will have significantly more room for our academic tuition, including tutorial booths and a friendly, inclusive area for primary students. Plus, there is plenty of free parking on offer within close walking distance. Years 5/6 and 7/8 will be the first to enjoy some exciting new classes:STEM classes will begin with Snap Circuits the first term’s activities, followed by other similar activities in the next two terms. Maths Works will prove to be an interesting and fun way to learn Maths with hands on activities to enhance the lessons. Entertaining English will bring to life novels, poetry and even essay writing with a little drama. This will be a boon for working parents as students can stay for the whole afternoon, where activities have been programmed with that in mind. For other students including adults, we will still have our language classes, including Japanese with Kiyomi, French and German with Jeff and Arabic with Zozan will be on offer. There will be some daytime sessions available while the kids are at school too. More languages will be available as we move forward.

Growing Music In The Outback By Andrew VIVIAN

SOME of us end up in work that we could never have imagined when we were younger. Emily White was a music teacher in Melbourne and Lizzy Rutten was an operating theatre technician and musician in Canberra. Both Lizzy and Emily separately took on jobs in remote communities in the Kimberleys, and both held music lessons after working hours. After finishing their respective jobs, they returned to Canberra, and, after six months, became restless. They developed a program together to allow them to travel and teach music, but, as Lizzy said, “We knew what we wanted to do but we had little idea how the program would be executed.” Luckily, a phone call took them to Balgo in the Tanami Desert in Western Australia for five weeks. Emily and Lizzy sold up everything to go, and took two band members and a trailer full of donated equipment

with them. Those five weeks became three years of work and set the scene for establishing “Grow the Music”, a program designed to grow music leaders and support musicians in regional and remote communities. Emily said the idea came from a dream for a system for music education. Working with remote community members led them to realise that Aboriginal children learned music by jamming and listening, or “learning by doing”. They conducted ‘participant-led’ programs which attracted community members from preschoolers to Elders. One very successful initiative involved working with children aged 14+ to increase school attendance rates. Emily said there is now a huge demand in schools for workshops to engage Indigenous and migrant kids. Grow the Music has also been offered in schools on the Coffs Coast and across New South Wales.

Classes range from creating and playing recycled instruments (with “tyre drumming” now a signature workshop) to nature walks. The programs are usually in response to community requests and each program ends with a community concert. Lizzy and Emily still gather instrument donations and they often leave a stocked

band room behind. Instrument care and maintenance are part of their programs and they train community ‘music leaders’ who keep the programs going. Recently, Grow the Music travelled to the Northern Territory to conduct workshops at the Gunbalanya School. Primary school students practised drumming and vocal skills while improving their

collaboration skills. Secondary students learned about the fundamentals of rhythm and melody using the rock band instruments and were invited to develop skills in songwriting and recording. Some performed original songs at the culminating community concert.

More Local News The process of writing to performing was filmed as a resource for other programs. Locally, Grow the Music has recently finished the outfitting of a purpose-built studio in Toormina to bring music leaders to record. Lizzy said that they began with a makeshift vocals booth, in which Jack Thompson recorded an advertisement, the money from which enabled the construction of a permanent booth, followed by the rest of the studio. They are currently recording an album for one of their Aboriginal bands called “The Docker River Band” and country music artist Warren H. Williams is recording an album in collaboration with Julianne Croft. They feel that Grow the Music is becoming a production house for Indigenous and migrant musicians and sound technicians – one of their aims is to encourage women to be sound engineers. Emily said, “We call ourselves an intergenerational music development program, from preschool through to adulthood. “It’s a community wellbeing program,” she said.

THE Bellingen Readers & Writers Festival is back

q The Bellingen Readers & Writers Festival 2021 - noted authors in conversation and signing copies.

By Andrea FERRARI

THE BELLINGEN Readers & Writers Festival bounces back on June 11-13. The program of speakers includes a smorgasbord of award-winning authors including a political correspondent, an array of teachers, a United Nations copywriter and an ex-regional nurse. Marry those talents with the gamut of genres and categories, from crime to children’s stories, from love and loss, from environmental issues to spec-fi, and we have a feast of facts and fictions. The program just went live and ticket sales are exceeding expectations. Highlights promised include seeing William McInnes chatting with Claire Hooper, an amazing discussion between Rohan Wilson, Mirandi Riwoe

and Courtney Collins, a unique conversation and performance from Kirsten Krauth, Mikelangelo and Paul McDermott, and meeting koala champion Kailas Wild. There’ll be discussions on the fate of the planet with Bob Brown, Julian Burnside and Barrie Cassidy. It’s an exceptional lineup and there are less seats, taking COVID-restrictions into account. However, the organisers have restructured the schedule so if you miss out on one session you can catch your favourite author in another associated session. The new venue is Bellingen Showground. Here there will be three main venues plus the Local Author Showcase. In true festival style there are food trucks, live music and a drinks bar. The Book Warehouse is

the official book seller with copies of each author’s work onsite. Author signings will take place alongside this in a dedicated space. Adam Norris, Head of Festival Programming said, "I think what has excited people the most is that it's not just the festival that they've seen in the past, although that has always been one of the highlights of the year, but it's now this whole new beast with music, art, performance, the works. “And even if we're saying so ourselves, the line-up is pretty amazing - I can't wait to see these guests in the flesh, and given we've broken our previous records for early ticket sales, we're clearly not the only ones!"

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

By Manny WOOD

Bank sale stopped by caveat

JOHN purchases a property for $2 million and obtains a loan to finance the acquisition. Unfortunately, John soon finds himself unable to work due to the restrictions imposed because of the coronavirus pandemic and as a result, his mortgage falls into arrears. The bank obtains default judgement and ultimately takes possession of John’s home. After an unsuccessful attempt at auction, the bank enters into a contract to sell the property for $1.2 million. John is not happy with the sale price and lodges a caveat preventing the sale, claiming that the bank failed to act in good faith by selling the property at significant undervalue. The bank commences action in the Supreme Court, seeking to have the caveat removed so that the sale can proceed. John claims that the coronavirus pandemic has affected the sale price and on this basis, says that the bank should delay the sale and continue to market the property. John obtains a valuation, stating that his property is worth $2 million. The bank obtains their own valuation, supporting the sale price. The bank also provides evidence that the property had been extensively marketed. The Court finds that is there is no evidence that delaying the sale would achieve a better result. The Court also finds that the bank was not in breach of its duty to act in good faith. The Court ultimately orders the removal of the caveat. However, the Court decides that John had a caveatable interest and that his failure to remove the caveat was not “so completely unfounded” that he should be ordered to pay the bank’s legal costs, whilst noting that the bank may, in any event, have the ability to recover these costs under the terms of the mortgage.

DEAR Jasminda,

After going to the Royal Easter Show I feel that I am not like other people. They were having a great time, ensconced in the raucous noise, rides, show bags and animals, and I was looking for the exit gate. What's wrong with me? Mrs Tina W.

Another Ride On The Gravy Train DEAR News Of The Area, AMONGST all the crap engulfing our society and politics, Bellingen Shire is blessed again. The Shire dodged the drought, the bushfires, Covid-19 and now the floods, which ravaged much of the east coast. After a hit on the upper Kalang and the usual roadside verges following wet periods, the only major impact was some landslips on Waterfall Way, and a large slip just east of Thora which closed the road and almost buried two highly regarded council employees. Waterfall Way is funded by the R.M.S. and is a money tree for Council for any work performed. Just like the bushfires no doubt another disaster declaration and millions more into Council coffers to squander on the likes of resilience officers. Thousands of tonnes

of material need to be removed. Dump a huge amount in my disused fish ponds a kilometre to the west one landowner suggested, another two kilometres to the east we could dump a pile on my approved building site at the old Wills mill site which had to be raised. No way, we will cart it all up the mountain and dump it ten kilometres west of Dorrigo on a quarry site. This was later amended to be half to the Dorrigo tip and the rest to Raleigh. Supposedly an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) would be required, a very lengthy process, all fill would also have to be tested for contamination. A classic example of bureaucratic ignorance engulfing this country. Think about the cost and damage to our water logged roads, and what about climate change and

Fitzroy (1796-1858). The parishes within the LGA from south to north include Coff, Moonee, Woolgoolga and Corindi on the coast, while inland are Wonga Wanga, Comlaroi, Bagawa and Orara. On 24 December 1861 the Robertson’s Land Act was passed, compelling the Government to undertake a mass land reservation for their use. Amongst the lands reserved was the locality of Coffs Harbour, given to a rectangle of land which

Nobody had a bloody clue, with our resilience officers stranded on the starting line. Against some opposition, Summervilles road was approved for access to Bellingen for locals. The mountain remained closed, and Council staff slashed the road and did what they could to improve safety for the extra traffic.

Twenty-five years later the village of Brelsford was proclaimed, also extending in a roughly rectangular area, from Korff Street along Coffs Creek to the Historic Cemetery and southward to Albany Street. On 17 March 1897 the reserve of Coffs Harbour was merged with the inland village of Brelsford, the entire area being named Coffs Harbour. The only evidence of Brelsford remaining today is the name of Brelsford Park, while the area’s traditional name of Garlambirla (river oak country) remains in the hearts and stories of the Gumbaynggirr people.

Dear Tina, NOW I can't make a professional judgement, but perhaps you are a bit of an introvert and the screaming shrieks, strobe lights, vertiginous rides, loudspeakers playing the theme from Deliverance and 60,000 people dashing around looking at oversized pumpkins and rally cars just isn't your vibe. We are all different, Tina. That's what makes the world an interesting and intriguing place. Personally, my favourite places at the Royal Easter Show are the Lost Persons room, which I like to think of as a metaphor for contemporary life, and the art displays. Throw in a pig and a bloke cutting a bit of timber and I'm done. For others, though, they thrive on the loud screams of others. They embrace the idea of battling crowds while vacuuming up some reconstituted offal and deep-fried batter dipped in a slosh of tomato sauce, and they are enthralled watching the temper tantrums of children on sugar highs whose dads can't win a fluffy unicorn. Maybe you should start with something less taxing that mirrors the big event as a way of building up to it. Chop some wood in your backyard wearing a navy singlet and steel-capped boots (safety first). Put a blue ribbon on your dog and pop it in a cage for half an hour. Play the theme music to The Fast and The Furious and drive some Matchbox cars around a hand-chalked track. Make some colourful cellophane glasses and shine a flashlight in your eyes ever few minutes while spinning in circles to mimic The Beast ride. Lock the bathroom door and wait 30 minutes until you can enter in preparation for the real deal where there are queues of people with bladder issues. Slow steps, Tina. Slow steps.

ANZAC DAY (In a small country town) *ANZAC DAY (In a small country town) a poem by Woolgoolga’s Barbara Gilkes. THEY came in their thousands to see these men, the soldiers of yesteryear, whose steps were as firm as in days of their youth, as they marched beside grandchildren, dear.

Matilda waltzed to the swirl of the kilt, medals blazed in the sun, and thoughts were with mates who were sacrificed where the ANZAC spirit begun. But community spirit blazed no less bright, I was glad to be part of the crowd,

and to hear children taught our past history, in a way that was simple, yet proud. The cameras flashed, and anthems rang out, a bugler played The Last Post like the one that will summon those selfless souls to be part of the Heavenly Host.

Our neighboring Buddies went willingly, too, from The Land of the Long, White Cloud; they've ne'er been afraid to offer their help, nor to voice heart-felt feelings aloud. As comrades, our young men fought side by side for a cause, hard to understand,

knowing with a faith so strong, so sure, that GOD would defend their land. The GALLIPOLI legend will never die, it lives on through younger eyes of pilgrims who backpack around the world making ANZAC COVE their prize.

And Matilda waltzed to the swirl of the kilt, medals gleamed in the morn, and memories fleeted to far away shores where our fledgling nations were born. Barbara GILKES, Woolgoolga.

Mayoral Column – Bulldozing of Tallow$300,000 Secured woods on Stadium Drive to Fund Local Recovery Plans DEAR News Of The Area,

By Cr Dominic KING (Mayor) Bellingen Shire Council I AM pleased to announce that our Shire has successfully secured $300,000 of Resilience NSW Bushfire Community Resilience & Recovery Funds to strengthen our ongoing efforts to support the delivery of community driven local recovery and resilience plans and actions.

It’s fantastic news for everybody in our community, because these funds will be invested to continue the great work projects funded by our Shire’s Get Ready, Get Together and Assist and Empower Grant are already delivering across our Shire’s villages. Accordingly, these additional funds will be used to work in partnership with our community and local community service providers to further the development of our Shires Community Resilience Network and develop our Shire’s own Local Recovery Plan. Having our own Local Recovery Plan will provide our Shire with a strategic framework that will identify the broad range of severe weather, climate change

and natural disaster events we experience, and how to best support and deliver local and ‘event specific’ recovery plans. This community partnership-based model will also be informed by the recommendations made during a recent Deliberative Panel activity, which explored what community resilience means in our Shire and our community’s future resilience and recovery priorities. Ultimately, it’s great to see our community come together as one and strengthen its capacity to manage community driven local recovery efforts, and given how strong our community is, I have no doubt that we’ll meet the challenges our Shire faces now and into the future.

IN the week before Easter two very large Tallowood trees were bulldozed for a development (0242/20DA) fronting Stadium Drive. It is reliably estimated that the trees easily pre-date European settlement and were no doubt familiar to the original inhabitants who travelled and camped in the area. Tallowwood is a common coastal species of eucalypt, although trees of this age and canopy volume are not so common, as most were

logged early last century. Apart from providing valuable timber, Tallowwoods most importantly provide valuable habitat and a primary food source for local koalas, possums, birds, bats, reptiles, insects and a host of microorganisms. Because these particular trees were not part of a prescribed patch or corridor there were no legal restrictions on their demise. They were not on the Council’s Significant Tree register as I believe the landowner declined to have them registered. Even if they were, it would not have protected them. With some design

changes the Developer could have easily retained them and still achieved a viable financial outcome. Shame on them and the contractor who carried it out. Shame also on all of us, for despite all that we know and understand about our natural environment and the importance of local biodiversity, we still allow this to happen. We have greater protections and place greater value on our historical buildings. Sadly, it diminishes us as a society and a community. Sincerely, Dave WOOD, Boambee East.

Coastal Premier League set to begin after postponed start By Aiden BURGESS AFTER waiting months to get back on the pitch, it was an anti-climax for the region’s top footballers as the opening round matches of the latest Coastal Premier League season were postponed due to last week’s wet weather. The Round 1 matches will now be played during the June long weekend. Coastal Premier League clubs will return to the pitch for the first time in 2021 during this weekend’s Round 2 matches. Northern Storm and the Coffs City United Lions face off to begin their 2021 campaigns in Korora Saturday afternoon. The Lions kick off the defence of their Coastal

Premier League crown with a local derby, while their opening round opponents the Storm finished sixth last season. The Boambee Bombers and Sawtell Scorpions meet in a rematch of their recent FFA Cup match, with the local derby kicking off at 2pm on Sunday afternoon at Ayrshire Park. The Bombers took the honours the last time they met with a 3-0 victory at home in last month’s FFA Cup fixture. The Bombers finished runners-up in the inaugural Coastal Premier League season, while the Scorpions made a tough return to top-flight senior football finishing 8th. The Coffs Coast Tigers begin their season at

home when they host last season’s Northern Conference champions Port United on Saturday night at Polwarth Drive. The Tigers finished 5th on the ladder last season and five points off top spot. Round 2 also sees the Port Saints host the Taree Wildcats, and the Macleay Valley Rangers host the Kempsey Saints. The Coastal Premier League made its debut in 2020, and features five clubs from North Coast Football and five clubs from Football Mid North Coast. The 2021 season consists of 18 rounds and a finals series culminating in the grand final on 11 September in Coffs Harbour.

Coffs Volleyball hosts Easter Midway tournament By Aiden BURGESS COFFS Harbour Volleyball Association recently held one of its biggest annual tournaments over the Easter long weekend. Coffs Harbour volleyball players took part in the Easter Midway tournament over two big days on the courts at Sportz Central. Coffs Harbour senior and junior teams took on visiting teams from

Armidale, Casino and Sydney, and showed they were worthy adversaries on their home court. Coffs Harbour teams won the second division men’s title and finished runners-up in three of the divisions in a great tournament for the host club. A new addition was added to this year’s Easter Midway, as juniors took part for the first time.

Coffs Harbour Volleyball Association president Craig Little told News Of The Area that adding a juniors competition gave his young players valuable experience against more seasoned teams. “The teams they were playing against were quite experienced, and for many of our players it was their first tournament,” he said. “Both our teams took sets off the teams that won.”

Little said his juniors would soon be entering another big tournament. “We need to have something to aim for, so we’re taking juniors to more tournaments and down to Newcastle in early May,” he said. “Just to give them the exposure and to play against good opposition, as that’s the only way they will get better.” The passionate

president said his focus was on developing Coffs Harbour’s burgeoning junior talent. “We’re looking at getting the regional program up and running and transition juniors into playing for state teams,” he said. “We’ve had a real resurgence since COVID-19 as we’ve had 80-85 juniors training.” The Coffs Harbour Volleyball Association hosts its season each Thursday night at Sportz Central.

Brain Navin Reserve officially alcohol free

q Brian Navin Reserve is now officially alcohol free and local police will conduct additional patrols within the reserve to reinforce the reserve’s new alcohol free status. Photo: Coffs Harbour City Council. By Emma DARBIN BRIAN Navin Reserve has been made an official 24-hour alcohol free zone to deter anti-social behaviour within the reserve and support local police in reducing alcohol related crime in the area. Coffs Harbour City councillors unanimously voted for the reserve to become an alcohol prohibited area at Council’s Ordinary Meeting

on Thursday 25 March. The reserve is located in Columbus Street, Coffs Harbour, and is situated between Park Beach Plaza and Park Beach Road and is used as a pedestrian walkway by people travelling between retail venues and nearby residential housing. There are two existing alcohol prohibition signs on the site, but no previous record of a Council resolution support-

ing the ruling. Coffs Clarence Local Area Command conducted a Community Safety Audit of the reserve in response to a number of anti-social behaviour incidents and complaints from nearby residents. Police recorded 67 antisocial incidents on the reserve in 2020 and determined that most incidents were related to alcohol intoxication, generally occurring during daylight

action and got to meet the players and coaching staff afterwards. The warm up started with a slow jog around the stadium, followed by stretching and dynamic stretching. The goalkeepers separated from the group to practice shot stopping

whilst the rest of the group took part in an 8 a side game of possession football with the restriction of three touches. Then the players moved to the full sized pitch for a 9 a side competitive drill which finished with their strikers, Valentino Yuel and Roy O’Donovan

hours. The police audit recommended the implementation of a 24-hour alcohol prohibition area for the reserve. Initiating a 24-hour alcohol prohibition area at the reserve empowers police to manage alcohol related antisocial behaviour with little impact on other park users. A Council report on the issue stated that the anti-social behaviour at the reserve was

“not conducive to creating a safe and inviting atmosphere within a primarily residential area.” “Alcohol prohibition encourages more use of the Reserve which will in turn increase the safety and amenity of the area,” the report stated. “The signs will provide Police with the power to confiscate or dispose of alcoholic drinks consumed by Reserve users.”

Police will conduct additional patrols within the reserve to reinforce the prohibition and effect a change in behaviour. Council advertised the proposition to install the alcohol prohibition area from 6 February to 5 March on it’s ‘Have Your Say’ page on its website, with two responses recorded in favour of the prohibition.

posters which went down a treat with their young fans. Lawrie McKinna has become an advocate of the RISE Coffs Harbour movement which helps people from all backgrounds through playing football and last month he was the master of ceremonies at their annual fundraiser which raised $40,000 for the not-for-profit community association. “Before today’s training session The RISE

ambassadors shared their stories with the Jets players, it’s a fantastic organisation,” explained McKinna. At the end of training junior supporters were delighted to meet the players and get their posters and shirts signed. The Newcastle Jets clinic and trial match last December was a big hit with supporters and their community focus and affable nature wowed the crowd again.

Life on the glorious Caribbean island of Saint Marie should be a breeze. There’s a rainforest, plenty of gorgeous ﬁshing spots and beaches as far as the eye can see. Mind you, the crime rate is cause for concern – there seems to be a suspicious death almost every week to keep DI Jack Mooney (Ardal O’Hanlon, pictured) and the team busy. This week, in “Tour de Murder”, it’s a cycling crash that is troubling the widowed detective – some loose threads (literally, a scrap of lycra) found near the body of Tour des Antilles favourite Xavier Prince lead Jack to suspect his death was no accident – but who wanted him dead? It’s the perfect Saturday night whodunit.

Some quiz shows demand broad general knowledge, others skills in maths or riddles, and some, well... they don’t really require much more than the nerve to put yourself on national television to gamble with the equal chance of making a fool of yourself or laughing all the way to the bank. The Cube is in the latter category, where contestants try to complete a seemingly easy task inside a Perspex cube for the viewing pleasure of the nail-biting audience. And it is precisely the added diﬃculty to otherwise simple tasks that makes this show – with a handsome prize pool – so infuriating and so captivating. Host Andy Lee (pictured above right) is along for the laughs.

Ryan’s snowy Canadian odyssey takes her to Toronto, before leading to a Methodist minister and his family in colonial Nova Scotia, cod traders in Newfoundland and her threetimes great-grandfather James Arminius Richey, a poet of some renown. Eventually, a twinkly-eyed historian in Dorset reveals whether Ryan has any English forebears.

Parry's expertise provides a boost By Brad GREENSHIELDS

ONE of Australia’s greatest golfers, Craig Parry, has been engaged to complete a master plan for the 27-hole course at the Coffs Harbour Golf Club. As part of its strategy to move forward over the next 10 years, the Coffs Harbour Golf Club resolved to create a master plan for its greatest asset, the golf course. A brief for course designers was created and after careful consideration the club engaged Parry to complete the master plan. The club’s course superintendent Justin Sheehan has overseen many changes to the course in recent years but he said working from a well thought out Master Plan will be even better for the club. “What we’ve done is sort of just cosmetic stuff. We’ve put paths in, we’ve changed our fairways over to couch and

we’ve put an irrigation system in. “So we’ve got the nuts and bolts there but we just need that next step and I think Craig can do that for us,” Sheehan said. “Just tweaking all of the bunkers and the strategy of the golf course, it will be good. I think it will be a vast improvement.” Parry was at the golf club for a few days earlier this week running his astute eyes over each of the club’s 27 holes with a camera and notebook in hand. “You can’t do it quickly. “You have to spend time,” Parry said. “I took photos of every tee shot, second shot and around the green. “I wrote down a lot of notes, put them on the computer to check that everything was the correct image and you could see what I was actually trying

to say in my notes related to the photo.” During his outstanding career, Parry recorded many victories in Australia including all of the three big tournaments – the Australian Open, Australian PGA and Australian Masters which he won three times. Overseas he won two USPGA Tour events in the United States as well as a further four wins in Europe and two in Japan. In majors, Parry held the 54-hole lead at the 1992 U.S Masters as well as finishing in a tie for third at the U.S Open in 1993. “Does the tee line-up with the fairway? “Looking down the fairway, do any trees encroach on the fairway that have been growing for 20-30 years that no-one’s seen? “I might come in and say ‘look that one’s popping out a little too far, we just need to

can you play it? “How can it be improved?” Once the Master Plan has been formulated it will

North Coast’s top junior footballers finish summer with big win By Aiden BURGESS

THE North Coast’s best junior Aussie Rules talent recently finished their representative summer program playing for the Northern Heat. The Northern Heat and AFL North Coast players

played their last rep match of the season in a dominant 23.10 (148) to 2.3 (15) win against the Southport/ Beenleigh Colts. The Northern Heat squad overcame an extremely challenging week of venue changes, time changes, and a

COVID outbreak to record an outstanding victory against the Southport/Beenleigh Colts. The Northern Heat representative AFL program comprises the best Under 16, 17, and 18 players from the North Coast and North West

regions. Players are selected into the program based on their performance at the Northern NSW Challenge. The off-season program exists to extend the representative pathway for the players of the regions and

The Northern Heat representative team.

World game to return to the region By Aiden BURGESS

THE world game is set to return to the region this weekend, as the latest North Coast Football’s Community Football seasons kick off for 2021. The Community Football features numerous competitions in 2021, including Mini-Roos, juniors, seniors, over 30 women, and over 35 men. Community Football features an 18 round season before a three-week finals

series culminating in a grand final on 11 September. North Coast Football consists of 24 clubs bounded by Scotts Head Sharks SC in the South, Dorrigo Highlanders SC to the West and Iluka FC in the North. North Coast Football provides all levels of football from a grassroots level starting with Mini Roos through to Coastal Premier League, senior divisions league as well as masters competitions. Lis Webb is one of the many personalities who will

play a part in this year’s North Coast Football season. She will be coaching the under 14’s Woolgoolga girls’ team as well as the under 14’s North Coast representative squad. Heading into a new season, Lis told News of the Area there was one thing she was looking forward to the most about a return to the field. “Improving the girl’s individual skill and their ability to implement set plays we learn at training into games,” she said.

“Bring on the season of the ball.” While the upcoming North Coast Football season would be made up of many clubs, coach Lis said the region united for their passion for football. “I think it’s like a big family and for the most part coaches and players are all supportive of each other,” she said. After a COVID-19 affected season in 2020, as of March North Coast Football had seen a 2% increase in registrations at the same time as 2019, and a 12% increase on 2020.

provide them with a further avenue to build their game ahead of making the full-time transition into senior footy. The program finishes with a match against the Southport Colts and from this, Heat players have been invited to trial with the Southport Sharks team that plays in the East Coast/VFL competition. Paul Taylor, AFL North Coast Community Football Manager, praised all involved with the program. "The players and their families make a huge commitment to be involved in the program, travelling hundreds of kilometres to slog it out over summer so that they can be fitter, better players with a higher footy IQ,” he said. "This year we've faced huge challenges with both our last training session and the match due to the weather and COVID, but today is a just reward for all of the hard work they've done individually and as a group and each and every one of them is extremely well prepared to have their best season of club footy.

be presented to the club’s board for approval before a presentation to members from Parry.

"Huge thanks to the Southport VFL club who worked tirelessly so the match could go ahead. “They could easily have pulled the pin through the week but the feedback from the club's General Manager is they really admire what our program is achieving and wanted to make sure that the match would proceed." Taylor said the result reflected the strength of junior football on the North Coast. “The squad produced an amazing performance to beat Southport/Beenleigh Colts by over 130 points and demonstrate that the future of footy within the North Coast and North West is in great shape.” The Heat program now wraps up for 2020/21, with players now focusing on their club football and then later in the year will have the chance to switch into representative mode with the North Coast Force and AFL North West rep teams respectively. The next Northern Heat squad will be selected based on the performances of players in their local rep programs.

Lions kitted out for the new season By David WIGLEY

JUNIOR footballers at Coffs United had an Easter surprise when 170 new football shirts arrived at the club for the new season which starts on Saturday 17 April. The growth in football registrations with a surge in female football and the wear and tear of the old strips resulted in a shortfall of jersey’s so the club reached out to the local business community who came to the rescue as Coffs United President Jodi Wood explained. “I am so proud to be giving all our junior competitive teams brand new strips this week in time for our first round of matches on Saturday 17 April. “We have had our biggest year of registrations ever

with growth in all age groups and especially with female players which has been a real focus area for our club. “All these new players meant we needed more playing jerseys, we had extremely generous sponsors from our community support us this year and cannot thank them enough. “Coffs Coast Isuzu, JZ concrete, Mid North Coast Physiotherapy and Kingdom Denture Clinic have all come onboard this season sponsoring the purchase of 10 brand new club strips. “My boys Charlie and Riley were certainly pretty pumped to try on the new jerseys, with all this wet weather they just can’t wait to get back on a pitch and will proudly be wearing the new Coffs United shirt,” said Wood.

First Grade Coach Glen Williams praised the community support and told News Of The Area how the weather has wreaked havoc with their fixture schedule resulting in two matches to be played over two days this weekend. “It’s fantastic to get this support from the local business community, there’s no better feeling to start a new season with a new jersey. “The growth in female football has been a welcome surprise, so it’s great all the competitive age groups get a new shirt and I hope to see these juniors progress to the seniors over the years. “Coffs Coast Isuzu have supported the club before and we are delighted they are supporting us again, I’m sure the kids can’t wait to

get motoring, pardon the pun, and we also have three new awesome sponsors in JZ Concrete, Mid North Coast Physiotherapy and Kingdom Denture Clinic. “It’s been a real frustrating preseason for us with the pitches being unplayable due to the rain and having to do preseason in joggers. “First grade and reserve grade are raring to go on Saturday when we play our first match of the Coastal Premier League against the Northern Storm and after several postponements we are playing Byron Bay the following day in the third round of the FFA Cup. “It’s not how we had planned it as they are two tough matches on consecutive days, but there’s nothing we can do, I hope we get a good crowd as the lads have been training hard - in their joggers,” said Williams.

Coffs Harbour teams to take on Grafton’s top hockey comp By Aiden BURGESS

TWO Coffs Harbour teams will represent the region as they travel to Grafton this season to contest the Grafton Hockey Association’s first grade competitions. The Jetty Jets and Coffs Crusaders will contest this year’s Grafton Hockey Association’s first grade competitions. The Jets will contest the men’s competition, while the Crusaders will contest the women’s. The Jets and Crusaders are the premier teams from Hockey Coffs Coast and play a vital role in the development of local talent. Both teams have been created with junior development as the core

focus, as the head coach of both teams, Rick Fischer, highlighted, “The idea of creating combined teams has been around for some time and it finally came to fruition in 2019. “Before that, a lot of Coffs-based players were travelling up to Grafton and playing with Grafton-based clubs. “We wanted our members to play for a Coffsbased team and to give them the opportunity to play toplevel hockey as a group. “It’s a really positive thing for hockey in our area.” Hockey Coffs Coast President, Graham Robinson agreed with coach Fischer’s sentiments. “We’ve been really happy with how the hockey

community has embraced these teams,” he said. “We’ve created a platform for our local talent to play in one of the premier competitions on the North Coast. “We hope to see as many people at the hockey centre for our home games as we can.” The Jetty Jets had to sit out the 2020 season due to COVID-19, but now the team has been training hard and have a few new faces and junior players coming through the ranks. The Jets will look to Kieran Marshall, Sam Ash and Travis Ford to help steer their young squad around the park. The Jets started their season with a 2-2 draw against Barbs Hagars.

IT’S THE moment Group 2 fans have been waiting over 20 months for. After a 2020 season lost to COVID-19, the 2021 Tooheys New Group 2 Rugby League season kicks off on Sunday. The opening round will be the first Group 2 premiership matches played since the Group 2 grand final in August 2019. The Woolgoolga Seahorses host the Coffs Harbour Comets in their local derby to kick off the 2021 season. The Seahorses made a return to senior footy in 2019, and just missed out on a finals spot.

The Comets finished runners up during the last Group 2 season in 2019 after winning the minor premiership. The Bellingen/Valley Dorrigo Magpies kick off their season at home with a tough opening round match against the 2019 premiers Grafton Ghosts. The Magpies could be the big improvers this season after a one-win season in 2019, and face a Ghosts side looking to defend their Group 2 premiership and win their third in four seasons. This weekend’s opening round also sees the Macksville Sea Eagles host the South Grafton Rebels in what shapes to be the match of the round.

Both sides were finals teams in 2019, with the Sea Eagles knocked out in the first week while the Rebels made the second week of finals. Former Comets premiership player and current under 18’s coach Kerrod Selmes said his club would be competitive again in 2021, especially with a club legend at the helm. “They will be competitive, any team that Brandon Costin coaches will be competitive,” he said. This year’s Tooheys New Group 2 Rugby League first grade season will feature a sixteam competition played over 15 games.

Comets Fire In Preseason By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs Harbour Comets continued their pre-season good form with a convincing 58-24 victory over Lismore’s Kyogle Turkeys at Geoff King Oval last Saturday. The Comets fired from the opening whistle as Pete Uikelotu pressured the Kyogle defence with piercing line breaks which created space for the Comets to move the ball wide into the hands of left wing speedster Billy Griffiths to score the first try. In the following phase of play the Comets probed down the right flank where Mike Emile penetrated the Kyogle defence through brute force to score the second try. The Comets continued their dominance into the second half as Billy Griffiths showed his versatility moving from the left wing into the back row where he notched up two more tries to score a hat trick in a stellar performance from the Yorkshireman. However, it was Kyogle who finished the stronger, scoring two tries in the final quarter which has been a recurring theme in the Comets preseason matches. Seasoned campaigner

and Comets coach, Brandon Costin, wasn't getting carried away with the preseason results. “The trial game against Kyogle was just that, a trial game, we experimented with different players in various positions to try and come up with combinations that could take us into the season proper. “The game served its purpose for players to cement their position for the round one game against Woolgoolga. “Very unfortunate Liam Dunn was injured during the game, he will be missed,“ said Costin. After last year’s hiatus, hat trick hero Billy Griffiths is excited to get back to business. “It's good to see all the boys buying into our game plan and structure ahead of our first league game next week. “Kyogle are a strong team, so it was a great opportunity to put into practice everything we have been working on in the preseason. “With the return of Costo (Brandon Costin) there's a really good feeling and a lot of excitement around the club at the moment, everyone is

keen to get back to business after a very long break due to the 2020 season suspension due to COVID,” said Griffiths. For assistant coach Miles Fairbank, preseason has been a good yardstick to monitor progress. q Mike Emile scores a try through brute force.

“I thought it was a good test to see where we are ahead of next week’s opening game, Kyogle play in the NRRRL competition which is a quality competition. “They were a big physical side and I thought we handled them pretty well and we put a few points on them, once the boys have a few more hit outs and gain some much needed match fitness we will be hard to beat,” said Fairbank. The Comets' first match of the Tooheys New Group 2 competition starts next Sunday 18 April away to Woolgoolga, Bellingen host the Grafton Ghosts and Macksville host the South Grafton Rebels.

Ever Heard Of A Sacrificial Anode? A sacrificial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efficiently working system and a costly replacement. Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion. After its 5th birthday – warranty expires. 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 your area free of charge.

Jets comeback Friday, 16 April 2021

Local Community News ~ Proudly Independent

By David WIGLEY THE Newcastle Jets returned to Coffs Harbour with a 1-1 draw against Perth Glory in last Tuesday’s A-League clash at C.ex stadium. Almost three thousand football supporters enjoyed an entertaining game of football where both teams had several chances in the first half as Roy O'Donovan hit the post after 30 minutes for the Jets and an outstanding save from Jets goalkeeper Lewis Italiano denied a ferocious shot from Bruno Fornaroli. An inspired substitution from Perth Glory on 60 minutes broke the deadlock when Keogh whipped the ball across the face of the goal which Joel Chianese lunged onto and scored with his first touch of the match to put the Glory ahead.

to draw Roy O'Donovan's penalty squares the match for the Jets.
