Bellingen Labor Team reveal plan to improve Council By Emma DARBIN

and streamline and speed up approval processes. Specifically under the Labor Team’s plan: ● A community safety watchdog unit will be established to monitor fire, road, water, and healthrelated safety compliance and issues. ● Council management and staff will undergo regular training in customer relations, including adopting an all-of-Shire service philosophy. ● A communications and community relations unit will be established. ● Council approval

THE Bellingen Shire Labor Team has released its plan to improve the administration and direction of Bellingen Shire Council, with a pledge to reconnect the Council with the community. Under the plan, the Labor team will establish two new units in Council, one to work on community safety and the other on communications. Bellingen Shire Mayoral candidate Andrew Woodward said the local Labor candidates pledge to implement a new customer service philosophy in Council

processes will be streamlined and deadlines for responses shortened. The Labor Team said its plans for improving the Council’s administration and direction are funded within current Council resources. “Time and time again, all you hear is ‘the bloody council’, and all too often, the council arrives too late to a problem or not at all,” Bellingen Shire Councillor candidate Paul Hemphill said. “It’s time to change this perception. “Our Council staff care for and work hard for our community, but established

processes often detract from their good work and highlight the shortcomings.” Mr Hemphill said the Council as a whole should have a broad worldview and work for the good of all residents, rather than for sectional interests and particular communities. “The Council should be for all of the Shire,” he said. “Council has a crucial role in ensuring the safety of residents; along with the police, fire and health system, it is the fourth pillar of local community safety. “The Council should be vigilant and proactive in protecting us from fires and pandemics, it must also ensure our waterways are clean and troublesome roads are repaired swiftly and well.” Mr Hemphill said the more that Council management and staff understand the community’s needs, the quicker they can respond to serving them. “We are committed to helping council employees to learn more about making their customers happy,” he said. “There is a perception that dealing with the Council is often too hard, that the paperwork is mind-numbing,

that you can’t find anyone to talk to, and that council rarely responds promptly, if at all. Sleeker processes and quicker turnarounds are two of the most requested things demanded of the Council; we’re committed to doing something about it.” Mr Hemphill pledged that within a year of obtaining office, the Bellingen Labor Team will change the approval processes of the Council. “Central to improving council processes is the creation of a communications and community relations unit,” he said. “Council is often perceived as being almost invisible in

Blood Donors Needed ASAP By Sandra MOON

CANCELLATIONS and no shows have been on the rise for blood donations. To meet demand Lifeblood now needs an extra 3000 donors over the next fourteen days. Lifeblood’s call out is urgent and they remind people to please keep their appointments to ensure their life saving work. The lifting of lockdowns in New South Wales, Victoria and the ACT has resulted in

many roadside traumas. Police have reported a spike in road trauma. Surgeries have also recommenced with the lifting of lockdown and the urgency for increased blood stocks is immediate. Lifeblood’s Executive Director of Donor Services, Cath Stone, said half of all blood donation appointments were not being attended, while hospital demand was at its highest point in a decade.

“Our donors have shown us incredible support over the last two years, however as life moves to COVID-normal, it’s important that people continue to donate to help ensure hospitals can continue to treat patients,” she said. Lifeblood is asking people to make saving lives part of their new normal. “There is no alternative for patients in need of blood and we’d like to remind donors, and anyone who has thought about becoming a donor, just how critical they are,” she added. In particular, Lifeblood’s reserves of O Negative blood are being challenged, with the number of O Negative donors falling during the pandemic despite increased hospital demand. O Negative is the universal blood type and can be given to anyone in an emergency like those involved in road accidents, when there simply isn’t time to find out their blood type. Ms Stone said, “Only nine per cent of Australians have O Negative blood, but it makes up sixteen percent of orders from hospitals because it saves lives in emergencies. “We currently have one thousand fewer active O Negative donors than we did over a year ago and we would particularly like to welcome those previous donors back to our donor centres. “We have extended opening hours in our centres and have more appointments available for donors than ever before. “If you are feeling well, not waiting on a COVID-19 test and haven’t been told to isolate, please book a donation,” she said. “With one in three of us needing donated blood or blood products in our lifetime, the life you save could be that of a friend or family member,” Ms Stone added.

Citizen scientists excel in Great Southern Bioblitz By Andrea FERRARI

CITIZEN scientists from the Coffs Coast and Bellingen regions excelled themselves with their active participation in this year’s Great Southern Bioblitz (GSB), logging their own sightings and data using the iNaturalist app and website. Toormina resident and schoolteacher Nick Lambert was Coffs Coast GSB champion who rallied the troops locally. Nick told News Of The Area, “With 3700+ participants from 256 regions around the southern hemisphere, we reached a total of more than 180,000 observations of nearly 21,000 different species in just four days. “Our locals from the Coffs and Bellingen region once again did our area proud and punched above their weight, finishing high up on the totals leaderboard. “We used the scope of our zone to the full while observing during the event. “Sightings came from Halfway Creek to Urunga and from Point Lookout all the way to North West Solitary Island. “There were many impressive finds, including squirrel gliders, rare cowries, endangered corals, birds, frogs and turtles. “Participants from our area managed 4466 sightings of 1590 different species over the four days, a significant improvement from last year. “One standout sighting by Dr Matt Nimbs was his incredible find of a Humpback Cowry shell (Mauritia mauritiana), an extremely rare species for NSW. “Even more impressive is that this could be the most southern global record ever for

the species.” The overall victory once again went to the seasoned campaigners in Cape Town, South Africa, who have previously participated in similar events for the City Nature Challenge. Results for Coffs/Bellingen in overall event: * Overall observations – 7th (out of 256 participating regions) * Overall number of species – 4th. * Most species out of the 74 Australian regions. * Most observations of all the Australian regions. All stats and sightings for the Coffs/ Bellingen region can be found on the iNaturalist project at www.inaturalist.org/ projects/great-southern-bioblitz-2021-coffsharbour-region. “This highlights what a small group of local people is capable of achieving in a short amount of time,” said Nick. “Hopefully the up-to-date data generated

Breast cancer patients to get Covid booster earlier WOMEN and men with breast cancer that are being treated with chemotherapy, hormone therapy or radiotherapy can receive their Covid-19 booster shot earlier than the general population. Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) and the Federal Government are this week urging women and men with breast cancer to get their third COVID vaccine dose as soon as they are eligible to provide them with maximum protection against coronavirus. Anyone on active treatment with chemotherapy, hormone therapy or radiotherapy can receive a third vaccine two months after their second vaccination, unlike the general population who must

wait six months. This is in response to the fact that cancer treatment compromises the immune system, which can result in severe complications if a person contracts COVID-19. Breast Cancer Network CEO Kirsten Pilatti said now that COVID-19 is circulating in the community the booster shot was essential for the vulnerable. “If you have breast cancer a third vaccine is not an optional extra, it is as important as the first and second doses,” Ms Pilatti said. “We know that those who are immunocompromised may not respond as well to the vaccines resulting in a weaker defence against COVID -19.”

Federal Health and Aged Care Minister Greg Hunt said nearly half a million Australians are now eligible for their booster dose. “Two doses provide excellent protection against COVID-19 and a third dose will ensure longer and greater protection,” Mr Hunt said. "The medical experts recommend that people who are severely immunocompromised should receive a third dose. “I encourage all those who are eligible to speak to their medical professional, especially if your health or the health of a loved one is compromised.” It is recommended that the third vaccine be an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) regardless of what brand the first two doses were. Individuals should contact their health professional with any concerns or call BCNA’s Helpline on 1800 500 258.

Changed traffic conditions on Waterfall Way MOTORISTS are advised of changed traffic conditions on Waterfall Way to carry out safety improvement work on Dorrigo Mountain. There will be intermittent lane closures with alternating flow arrangements from Monday 15 November while Transport for NSW installs slow vehicle turnout lanes at one uphill and three downhill sites on the mountain. This will improve safety by providing motorists with more opportunities to pass slow vehicles. Work will be carried out from 7am to 6pm on weekdays and from 8am to 1pm on Saturdays.

Work is expected to be completed by April 2022, weather permitting. Traffic control and a reduced speed limit of 40km/h will be in place for the safety of workers and motorists. The road will be open to two lanes of traffic outside of work hours but speed restrictions will remain in place. Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions, and follow the directions of signs and traffic control. Transport for NSW thanks motorists for their patience during this time.

NSW Health state-run clinics are now offering a booster dose, using the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, to individuals aged 18 and over. According to Mr Dowrick this booster shot will help people maintain a high level of protection against the

COVID-19 virus, including the Delta variant. People aged 18 years and older may receive a booster at least six months after receiving their second dose of any of the COVID-19 vaccines registered for use in Australia. “We encourage anyone with even the mildest of cold-like symptoms to come forward for testing and isolate until a negative result is received,” he said.

Start Your Christmas Shopping Yesterday By Andrew VIVIAN

HAS anyone noticed that items on shelves in supermarkets and shops are spread out a bit more than before, and more and more items seem to be unavailable? There have been several warnings in national media recently that, because of COVID-19, supply chains around the country and around the world are slowing down. Australia Post, for example, is telling customers to ‘Send as early as possible’, saying ‘Tis the season to be early’. According to the dates for posting on the Australia Post website, standard Christmas parcels to

the United Kingdom, for example, should be sent by 26 November and economy air parcels should have already gone. Some items from overseas will not arrive in time for Christmas, even if ordered right now. However, there are easy solutions. The first one is to buy local. The Coffs Harbour Chamber of Commerce has a ‘Go Local First’ directory on its website that can be searched. There are many small businesses in our local streets that offer alternatives to national and multinational chains. Then, there are many markets, where Coffs Coast

residents can buy beautifully and lovingly made/grown products that cannot be purchased anywhere else. A second solution is ‘bricks, not clicks’ – buy from an actual shop, not online. The advantage of buying from a shop is, obviously, that you get the gift when you buy it, and don’t rely on delivery, but, of course, this only works when you will see the recipient at or before Christmas. And, the golden rule of shopping in an actual shop is ‘buy now, or regret later’ – we have all had the experience of returning to buy an item we want only to find that it is sold out A third option is to ‘think outside the box’. Experiences are easy to

The project originated in 1990 in Michigan, USA when a high school teacher and his students were searching for a way to raise funds to support a food drive. Empty Bowls has since become an event worldwide where all raised funds are donated to a local charity with the aim to fill empty bowls and fight hunger. “Young musician Saskia Scheib will take to the stage and entertain us playing the

Wildlife first response training for firefighters By Andrea FERRARI

WILDLIFE first response training for NSW firefighters is being rolled out to help wildlife impacted by bushfires under a new NSW Government initiative. Following the devastating 2019-20 bushfire season, the NSW Bushfire Inquiry acknowledged the need for an increased focus on wildlife response in bushfires and other natural disasters. Through the Environmental Trust, the NSW Government is funding the delivery of

Recommendation 53 of the NSW Bushfire Inquiry, which proposes that the government develop and implement a policy for injured wildlife response, including guidance for firefighters on handling injured wildlife. “The training will help firefighters to assist any injured wildlife they see when fighting a fire, if it is safe to do so,” a spokesperson for National Parks and Wildlife Service NSW told News Of The Area. “The NSW NPWS is leading the implementation of training in partnership

The online course is complemented by an interactive handbook that firefighters can take with them on the fireground. The handbook for use with electronic devices is available for download.

Dogs on leads at all times at Moonee Creek By Andrea FERRARI

NEW signs have recently been installed down at Moonee Creek Estuary highlighting the need for all dogs to be on a lead at Moonee Creek, especially for the protection of birds and wildlife. The development of the signs has been a joint effort from Reflections Caravan Park, Birdlife Australia, Coffs Harbour City Council (CHCC), Green Bluff Landcare, NSW Marine Parks and National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS). “The aim of the signs is to raise the profile of the endangered shorebirds that q

use Moonee Creek Estuary,” John Gregory from Birdlife Australia told News Of The Area. “In particular, it is critical that the nesting birds are left to sit on their eggs, and that their chicks are able to feed on the beach and estuary. “Dogs off leads chase birds, preventing them from feeding, and disturb them at their nest sites. “Even their presence is enough for some birds to abandon a nest,” said John. John has personally witnessed circumstances where off-leash dogs have caught and killed critically endangered animals.

Moonee resident checking out the new signs.

q Clear signs indicate doglead rules for bird safety.

q On-lead rules are there to protect birds.

“The Little Tern has to feed at Moonee Creek and then fly thousands of kilometres to eastern Asia in our winter and the Whimbrel has a more onerous journey to and from the Alaskan tundra. “If these birds are not allowed to rest and feed at Moonee they won’t make it.” NPWS Area Manager Glenn Storrie highlighted that, “The new signs also identify that dogs are not permitted within Moonee Beach Nature Reserve on the northern side

of the creek at any time. “The nature reserve is a special place, and we need to keep it that way for future generations.” A Coffs Harbour City Council spokesperson said, “Domestic dogs must be on a lead in all public places as per the Companion Animals Act and this includes Moonee Creek. "Council Rangers undertake random patrols to Moonee Creek to ensure that dogs are on leads.

“They advised that fines will be issued for noncompliance. "The signs also specify where people can walk their dog leash free in the LGA.” Glenn Storrie said, "A fox and wild dog baiting program involving the National Parks and Wildlife Service NPWS is also being conducted along Moonee Beach in Moonee Beach Nature Reserve. “The baiting program is a critical component of the recovery plan for the

threatened shorebirds in the Moonee Creek Estuary and Moonee Beach Nature Reserve.” The local Birdlife Australia representative pointed out that the human population is increasing in the Moonee Beach area, as is the dog population. “This is putting pressure on our endangered birdlife, who need relief from dogs in order to eat, and successfully breed or else they will be lost to this area forever.”

Neighbours Band Together To Highlight Climate Change By Andrew VIVIAN

AFTER the supercell hailstorm smashed Sawtell, Toormina, Boambee East and parts of Coffs Harbour last month, Erika Van Schellebeck didn’t see any media reports that linked the weather event to climate change. She told News Of The Area, “If that hailstorm had been half an hour later, hundreds of children would have been walking and riding home. “A local wallaby was killed by the storm, so what could

have happened to a small child? “Imagine if people had been driving their children home during a storm like that!,” she said. Mr Van Schellebeck’s daughter’s bicycle helmet was smashed by the hail at the bike racks at her school. After the hail stopped, her daughter had a slow, slippery and dangerous ride home through the ice and water on the roads. Mrs Van Schellebeck has been an environmental

educator for almost 25 years, working with governments, NGOs and community programs in NSW. She said business and the states, especially NSW, are leading the way on climate change. “Everyone knows that we know we are living with the impact of climate change but people don’t know how to talk and not enough people are talking about it.” Mrs Van Schellebeck said, “These events are becoming more frequent and more

severe, and I want my children to be safe.” She pointed out that our region can benefit from climate action such as using renewable energy in our homes to save thousands of dollars each year, driving electric vehicles to reduce pollution and noise and supporting regenerative agriculture practices that can improve the returns for farmers on carbon credits. “I’m trying to start a conversation in the community about how we can

create a better, cleaner, fairer future for ourselves and our children by moving to a zero emissions economy,” she said. Mrs Van Schellebeck and her immediate neighbours in Sixteenth Ave, Sawtell, have erected 5m climate banners in the front yards of their street, which is a major route for traffic between Toormina and Sawtell. She said, “Heads are turning, cars pull over to read them, people toot and stop to talk and one local has said the signs are the 'talk of the

town’.” Mrs Van Schellebeck hopes this simple action will help increase awareness of this important issue affecting our community and our world. “Maybe I hope our signs will encourage others to get involved in creating a better, cleaner and fairer future of net zero emissions by 2050 and a cut in our emissions by 50% by 2030. “There is nothing to lose but everything to gain if we act urgently,” she said.

THE ‘Support-a-Family Christmas Appeal’ is on with four charities and News Of The Area working together to make Christmas a joy for those struggling this year. 95 less fortunate families have been identified by Lifeline, Vinnies, the Salvos and Lifehouse Care. Local families and businesses who can manage to donate to these families are encouraged to do so. Nicole Hayes, Administration Officer for Gamble Aware at Lifeline, has been helping out families at Christmas since 2016 and said, “Even though it is a hard year for people it’s amazing to see people help out others.” This year there is a collective phone number

to call rather than the individual charities. Ms Hayes said the list helps people choose who they wish to help. “People often like to choose a family similar to their own,” she said. “There is a family with three girls who buy for a family of three girls so they know what to get and then there's businesses that support whole families.” She said it is totally up to the people to decide what to buy for the families. “In the past it has been individual things such as individual presents, along with vouchers for the movies, vouchers for different retail shops, and practical vouchers for items such as groceries.” Ms Hayes said the prior feedback from both the

community donating and the recipients has been wonderful. Due to COVID-19 the donations will be a door drop at the specified charity. “One of the schools emailed that all of their families were so appreciative and they were blown away at the generosity on behalf of the families. “They couldn’t thank us enough.” Donor feedback is that people are happy to contribute to the initiative that gives a helping hand to local families that otherwise might not have a Christmas. “Families donating say they are blessed to help and happy to share the love.” See the list of families in need on the left hand side of this page to help a family this Christmas.

Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan and Regional Health Minister Dr David Gillespie last week visited the Coffs Harbour Rural Clinical School, operated by UNSW, to meet with students and staff. Mr Conaghan said he was proud to be part of a government that recognised the benefits of rural medical training and the challenges associated with the health workforce maldistribution. “UNSW receives more than $28 million from the Commonwealth for its RHMT activities across a number of sites, including Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie, to give more students the opportunity to train in the regions and create local jobs,” Mr Conaghan said. “This funding has a double benefit; students undertake part of their

medical training here and in turn it creates jobs for local medical and administrative staff,” Mr Conaghan said. “The clinical school in Coffs Harbour has sixteen local staff, who supported more than fifty students to complete twelve month long medical placements last year.” Dr Gillespie, who himself spent ten years as Director of Physician Training at Port Macquarie Base Hospital, said the RHMT program encouraged more health professionals to practise in the bush. According to Dr Gillespie training in the regional hubs and in rural areas is a triple win for everyone. “RHMT is a win-win-win for the students, the patients who can access care, and for the host communities,” Dr Gillespie said.

Rural Health Trainees By Sandra MOON

HUNDREDS of rural health trainees have been welcomed on the Coffs Coast to learn, grow and assist in patient care. Every year the student doctors, nurses, midwives and allied health professionals from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) come to Coffs Harbour as an essential component of their training in the Rural Health Multidisciplinary Training (RHMT). The Department of Health describes the program as a way to support health students to undertake rural training through a network of rural clinical schools, university departments of rural health, and dental faculties offering extended rural placements.

Anti Ice Workshops in Coffs Harbour By Andrea FERRARI

THE Australian Anti Ice Campaign (AAIC) is holding a series of Anti Ice Workshops in high schools throughout the Coffs Harbour region, which kicked off on Friday (12 November) at South Grafton High School and Acmena Juvenile Justice Centre. Run by the Coffs Harbour Ice Action Team founded by Leader, Jose Porcia, a former ice addict of thirteen years, all workshop presenters are

people, like AAIC founder and CEO Andrea Simmons, who have recovered from ice addiction. Workshop presenters weave their own livedexperience stories of addiction into an evidencebased PowerPoint and video based interactive workshop that covers the long-term effects of Ice use, the danger and toxicity of the ingredients in ice, the mechanisms of ice addiction, and the risks of trying ice even once. AAIC presenters will

also talk about strategies for communicating the risk of using ice, acting to prevent ice use, and how to seek help. Andréa Simmons believes every Australian high school student needs to see this workshop to arm them with a line of defence, in the form of knowledge, if this insidiously addictive and destructive drug is ever offered to them. “University of South Australia researchers have found brain wave shading and physical movement

people who are in long-term recovery from ice addiction, assisting people who are trying to find recovery from their own struggles with ice addiction. AAIC’s Lived Experience Buddies have been active in the Coffs Harbour region for the past two years and have assisted many locals as well as mentoring people with ice related issues who are involved with the Department of Corrections, Probation and Parole and the Aboriginal Legal Service. The Coffs Harbour team also run a weekly Outreach in The Park which involves fitness training and the spreading of the AAIC message.

“The AAIC Coffs Harbour team has received incredible support from the Salvation Army in establishing and developing in the region,” Jose Porcia, Coffs Harbour CIAT Leader told News Of The Area. “AAIC is also planning a major Community Forum in Coffs Harbour early next year and is in discussions with local Rotary Clubs to assist in staging this event.” Any person struggling with ice addiction or anyone struggling with a loved one using ice are encouraged to contact AAIC through its website at www. australianantiicecampaign. org.au or by phoning AAIC’s 1800 NO TO ICE helpline.

Sawtell Swim Carnival explodes into Coffs By Andrea FERRARI YOUNG swimmers will give it their best on Sunday 21 November at the McGrath Estate Agents Sawtell Explosion Annual Carnival to be held at the Coffs Harbour Memorial Pool. The thirty-five-year-old annual swim fest will happen in Coffs Memorial pool for the

first time this year due to a couple of reasons. Kim Roach, President/ Head Coach at Sawtell Swimming Club told News Of The Area, “Due to COVID and restrictions, the swim season has started later than normal and many clubs aren't holding carnivals. “Swimmers are chasing Qualifying Times and prefer

Murwillumbah, Forster, Casino, Lismore, Hunter and our local clubs including Bellingen, Coffs Harbour, Nambucca and Macksville. “Twenty-four swimming clubs in total are attending our carnival, some clubs have two swimmers and some 100 are attending. “Sawtell Swimming Club has 33 swimmers attending

this year and we have had an increase in our overall membership. “Why?...I think swimming in a squad program was one of the few exercises allowed until community sport opened up again and also this being an Olympic year has created more interest in swimming,” said Kim. For clubs to be able to host events, they need to apply to SNC (Swimming North Coast) to approve. “Our carnivals are run by Technical Officials, clubs, and volunteers. “Everyone gives their time so the swimmers can compete

in the hope they walk away with a Pb (Personal Best) or Qualifying Time.” Entries into the Explosion closed early due to having 222 swimmers within five days. “We then reopened entries for the first fifty swimmers which went within fifteen mins…entries went faster than Red Hot Chili Pepper tickets,” quipped Kim. If you want to watch some of the best swimmers on the North Coast, you just need to go to Coffs Memorial Swimming Pool. The cost: $2 spectator fee.

Meet The Candidates By Sandra MOON

THE local housing crisis was front and centre at Bellingen’s Housing Matters Action Group 'Meet the Candidates' online forum held this week. It focused on housing issues in the Bellingen Shire. In May of this year the Bellingen Shire Council officially declared a housing crisis. At the time, Council cited limited housing stock for rentals and purchases, a significant increase in housing prices and rents, lack of available land, and lack of investment in affordable housing solutions as major issues facing the Shire. The ‘Meet the Candidates’ forum was an opportunity for the community to hear from local candidates on these housing issues. It was hosted by local resident and chair of the Housing Matters Action group, Ms Kerry Pearse, with local candidates representing Labor, the Greens, and independents. Ms Pearse said, “We believe that all levels of government have key roles to play in helping to fix the housing system and to bring about positive change. “It is important for the community to hear from candidates as to how they will address the housing crisis in our Shire.” She added, “The housing affordability gap is so great that local working families can no longer afford to live in many parts

of the region. “Rentals have dried up and real estate prices are skyrocketing as COVID refugees flee the cities,” she said. “We need thoughtful, open dialogue and creative local responses as well as government policy action to find a way through this." The Housing Matters Action Group has worked closely with the current Bellingen Shire Council over the last four years on a number of projects including the Bellingen Shire Local Housing Strategy 2020-2040, exploring the feasibility of establishing a Community Land Trust, and infrastructure redevelopment for affordable rentals. The project is one of many creative and innovative community driven activities in the shire. Ms Pearse is also involved in one of them; community action group the Bellingen Neighbourhood Care Network. It is an information sharing network and a model for other shire councils to support locals in getting critical information, formed after the community faced the 2019-2020 fires, flooding and COVID. The Shire has also birthed the Resilient Communities Project North and Mid North Coast, a model of empowerment for residents to prepare, prevent, respond and recover from disasters. The project has just been Highly Commended in the Resilient Australia Awards 2021. The Bellingen Shire Council has been previously recognised for encouraging and fostering innovation in communities by winning the Rural Category of the 2020 Local Government NSW A. R.

Landcare tends to Boambee Headland after the hairstorm

q Barry Powells, President, Coffs Harbour Regional Landcare on Boambee Headland which took one of the area’s worst hits in October’s hailstorm.

By Andrea FERRARI

SITTING atop Boambee Headland the devastation to the region’s trees from October’s hailstorm is patently clear as you can see straight through to Boambee Bay Resort nestled by the Creek, previously hidden by foliage-filled trees, even in winter. “It’s a total defoliation of all the native vegetation as well as branches being stripped of bark,” Barry Powells, President, Coffs

Harbour Regional Landcare told News Of The Area. “The hail stones were golf ball-sized, jagged in nature, fell horizontally and driven by strong winds creating devastation like we’ve never seen before.” No leaves, no birds, it’s an eerie atmosphere on the ocean and mountain facing headland. “We have a group of Casuarina trees which provide the primary food source for Glossy Black Cockatoos – a large flock

frequented the headland, but I haven’t seen them since the storm. “We had a good half a dozen bird species up here, but I’ve seen none of them recently.” Barry has lived and worked locally in environmental care with CHCC and volunteer organisations for 30 years and now, as President of CHR Landcare, is rallying the volunteers to begin the restoration. “There is a small win,”

said Barry. “With the groundcover defoliated, the destructive Lantana weed is now visible which means we can get in there and remove it easily.” With the Coffs Harbour Regional Landcare group thankfully burgeoning since COVID, there extra hands to help the dedicated group of volunteers from Sawtell Dune Care who are now focusing their efforts on Boambee Headland. “We’re prioritising our attempt to repair the damage by starting with weed removal and focusing

on natural regrowth. “There should be a lot of tree seeds in the ground which will flourish given the opportunity and a general absence of weeds.” Barry and the team are doubling down on the weekly Sunday morning efforts and on 5 December will be holding a Weed Blitz and inviting other Landcare groups and hopefully many locals to come along and lend a hand. “I’m thinking about starting a Thursday morning group too, should sufficient people be

interested,” said Barry. “We’re also going to replant a lot of local tree species such as Casuarinas, Red Bean and Banksia, for bird food and habitat.” CHCC’s Bush Regeneration Group has deposited a pile of mulch ready for use once planting begins. “We work closely with Council and are appreciative of what they bring to Landcare through the Environmental Levy. “They are the managers and everything we do is with their approval.”

WHY TRACK RECORD WILL MATTER IN THIS YEAR’S ELECTIONS

s local elections ramp up in the coming weeks, it’s easy to see a tendency for grand promises to be made. However, with formal nominations announced last week and the ballot now drawn by the electoral commission, we now know that some Council and Mayoral candidates have already served as Councillors. This will allow many residents to cast their vote based on track record, not on what candidates say they will do, but what they have actually demonstrated, and what they have voted for in the past. As we learned in the past 5 years, Council decisions can be controversial and do not always appear to reflect the consensus of the community. That means now is really the time to find out where candidates stand on issues important to you and to vote in Council representatives that you can trust to represent your views for the next 3 years. Some big issues coming up will be: What do we do with the Jetty Foreshores? A large portion of this land is owned by the State Government and despite public consultation clearly indicating a preference for prioritising parkland and community areas, key areas could be overdeveloped. Look at the popularity of this area on any weekend and it’s clear this is a pivotal part of our community that should be structured for people to enjoy freely as the population grows.

Shared areas like this are the key to our community retaining its unique aspects despite the huge growth that is predicted. Any development of this area must enhance the public facilities available and not overshadow them. The State Government can and should listen to locals as we polish the ‘jewel in the crown’, not sell it to the highest bidder. Once it’s gone, we’ll never get it back. Paul Amos has a 25-year history of advocating for preserving the jetty parklands for the people of Coffs Harbour and recently spearheaded efforts that resulted in the State Government ‘gifting’ part of the foreshores to the local community. How do we manage our waste? We must urgently move away from trucking our waste to South East Queensland and towards a longer-term way of turning our waste into usable materials. In the interim, we need to adopt a proactive

strategy to avoid the Southern entrance to Coffs Harbour being known for its smell. Paul Amos first raised the issue of waste management and the imminent issues with the tip 3 years ago and has led recent actions seeking to address this urgently. How do we effectively manage land releases? The State Government has determined that Coffs Harbour will be a medium density city. This plan includes limited release of land to encourage more apartment living. This was a pre-Covid decision that many Councillors supported at the time and the new Council should revisit this. People deserve the choice of how they want to live and raise a family, and the pandemic has reshaped people’s priorities for living outside the city.

These are some of the issues that voters may find useful to discuss with their prospective elected representatives to see how they voted, and where they now stand as they make very important decisions for the future of our area. More information on how Paul Amos has voted and where he stands on local issues can be found at www.mooseformayor.com.au. Information on meeting attendance, voting history and meeting recordings can be accessed from https://www.coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au/Your-Council/AboutCouncil/Council-meetings. Lodging of postal vote applications is now open. Eligible residents can cast their vote at pre-polling at the Coffs Showground, or 3 Minorca Place Toormina from the 22nd November onwards. There will also be online and phone-support for voting this year to keep residents safe and to ensure everyone can have their say.

Paul Amos was the only current Mayoral candidate who voted against the State government plan to limit land release in Coffs Harbour. The State Government plan to limit land release in our area was (and is) a short-sighted view of our town’s potential and the choices local people should have. How do we responsibly manage the Cultural and Civic Space? This was the issue that divided the Council the most in the past 5 years, with 4 Councillors in favour and 4 against at most meetings. Several promising alternatives were offered including refurbishing the existing Council building to extend its use and building a fit-for purpose true ‘Civic Centre’ including a performance space. Many long-term residents will remember the previous Civic Centre with adjacent library and the access this gave for schools, performing arts groups in the area, with travelling musicians including ACDC gracing the stage.

This purpose-built approach would have allowed better access to government funding rather than having the building primarily funded by rates. Paul Amos voted against this project and put forward several alternatives. Projects like this have placed significant financial pressures on other Councils and it will be a momentous challenge to make sure it doesn’t do the same here. Now that works have commenced, the next Council will need to tightly control the budget of this development and get value from it, so that important other local projects not just in Coffs, but in surrounding towns like Sawtell and the Northern Beaches still get the attention (and funding) they deserve.

Turning Creativity Into Action

directly towards supporting BPW Coffs Harbour’s

By Andrew VIVIAN MADDY Cowling is a young girl who demonstrates creativity, innovation and care for others. A grade 5 student at Bishop Druitt College, Maddy used her initiative to transfer her hobby of making cards for special occasions into a significant fundraising program. She seeks inspiration from the internet to produce personalised cards, made from a process of printing and scrapbooking. Each card takes Maddy an hour to produce.

Initially, family and friends were inspired by her work and this pushed Maddy to consider selling her cards to raise funds for a charity. With some help from her mother, Maddy connected with Business Professional Women (BPW) Coffs Harbour and set herself a target of producing enough cards to reach $500 in sales. She promoted her work at school, to friends and at other community events. On Thursday, November 11, Maddy proudly handed over a cheque for $559.40. The money will go

Medicinal Cannabis Fight By Sandra MOON

A BELLINGEN naturopath has started private crowdfunding to assist with legal costs associated with a matter before the courts. According to Emma Stachiw, she is seeking support to help fight a legal battle relating to her professional use of medicinal cannabis for her patients. She also wishes to raise awareness about the medicinal application of cannabis and calls for its decriminalization. Ms Stachiw said up until December 2020, she worked at the Coffs Harbour Medical Specialists Centre with Southern Cross Medical Specialists.

mum to three girls and faces legal fees up to $60,000. Currently she has received approximately $12,000. She said should the contributions reach her target she will pass on extra funds to people in a similar predicament. Ms Stachiw said, “I encountered people suffering chronic, severe health conditions including Parkinson’s, cancer and chronic pain. “I was asked almost daily about Medicinal Cannabis. “I was in contact with several patients who had obtained Cannabis either illegally or through GP prescription. She added, “In all

cases, I formed the opinion that there were no knowledgeable professional practitioners overseeing these patient’s treatment to provide advice, guidance or education about what to expect, the correct dosage or ongoing supervision. “What alarmed me the most was that while using Medicinal Cannabis (usually Cannabis Oil) patients were taking unnecessary large amounts of pharmaceuticals.” Ms Stachiw told News Of The Area that as a qualified naturopath she does not have access to medicinal cannabis as it is a scheduled pharmaceutical. “Unfortunately, I cannot offer Medicinal Cannabis services until Australia provides pathways for Naturopathic Practitioners

to be licensed,” she said. According to Ms Stachiw the matter is larger than just her case. “A negative outcome could set a poor legal precedent. “In that respect, I would be deeply grateful if my community could help me raise the necessary legal funds to assist me in fighting this prosecution properly in court.” She hopes to bring more community awareness to the gap in access to medicinal cannabis as a NSW licensing inadequacy.

Peak Berry Body Talks Rates By Sandra MOON

THE Fair Work Commission decision to set a new minimum hourly rate for pieceworkers in the horticulture industry has been acknowledged by Berries Australia. Berries Australia, the peak body for berry production, told News Of The Area that enforcement is the key to making the change work. The decision to include a minimum hourly wage will replace the previous model whereby horticultural fruit pickers were paid at piece rates, a model applied nowhere else in Australian Award Rates.

The decision, which is not yet law, will see production horticulturalists required to record hours of work done by pickers. Berries Australia Chair Peter McPherson told News Of The Area that all farmers need to adhere to the change even if it affects their productivity and costs. Berries Australia will work with the Fair Work Ombudsman to provide support materials to its members to ensure they understand the new rules. “This is a whole of supply chain issue, and it is important that those in the industry right through from growers

to retailers, wholesalers and the food service sector play their part in ensuring that workers are paid what they are legally entitled to, this includes only sourcing product from growers who can show they are legally compliant,” he said. “From an enforcement standpoint, we also encourage the Fair Work Ombudsman to enforce the Award and to take strong action against those growers found to be non-compliant. “It’s all well and good to raise the bar but if there continue to be minimal consequences for doing the wrong thing in terms of fines or access to markets then it will be good growers who go out of business as a result of

this decision.” Mr McPherson urges the government to also mandate a national labour hire scheme to stop exploitation in labour hire companies. “Whilst dodgy labour hire

companies can continue to fly under the radar, we will not be able to get on top of exploitation in this sector. “Berries Australia is on the record calling for a national labour hire licensing

monitoring of housing and policy outcomes, and demand indicators. Mr Stokes said, “We will consider each recommendation in detail to ensure our planning system allows for a steady supply of housing throughout regional communities. “The recommendations confirm there is no silver bullet solution and we must work in partnership with industry and local councils to create more housing opportunities.” Ms Pavey said the recommendations reflected the unique housing needs of regional communities. She said, “The need for more temporary accommodation for seasonal workers is of particular concern in many communities and we will consider the Taskforce’s advice on how we can work with councils to deliver this.” However not everyone agreed that the report and recommendations hit the mark. Coffs Harbour Greens

Mayoral candidate Jonathan Cassell said, “The report seems designed to indulge property developers and it’s doubtful it will do much to ease housing affordability.” He said, “I believe these recommendations are too weak to make housing genuinely affordable and will likely increase the already very large portfolio of property developers. “The Greens want to see more social housing investment than this report recommends as we believe it would genuinely ease the rental and housing crisis across NSW,” he said. Mayoral candidate for Labor, Tony Judge, welcomed the focus on social and affordable housing. “Social housing, in particular, has suffered from many years of neglect and inaction from the State Government and there is a lot of catching up to do. “I also welcome the focus on provision of options for smaller and ageing households, but, it must be accompanied by policies

Regional Housing Taskforce Report Released By Andrew VIVIAN

DEPUTY Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole, Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes and Minister for Water, Property and Housing Melinda Pavey recently released a report with recommendations for how the planning system

that remove some of the cost barriers currently stopping people from downsizing,” said Mr Judge. “It is inevitable that we will need more green fields sites for new development, but the desire to provide ‘shovel ready’ sites more quickly should not come at the expense of environmental and habitat protection. “Nor should that urgency mean that housing is developed without adequate physical and social infrastructure,” he said. Mr Judge finished by saying, “It is disappointing that most measures proposed in the report are premised on an assumption that the problem is always supply. “Housing supply has grown more rapidly than population during the Covid pandemic, yet housing prices are increasingly out of reach of low to medium income earners. “There is no guarantee that increasing supply will fix that trend and State and Federal governments need to urgently look at policies to contain the investor demand that is driving up house prices,” said Mr Judge.

Charity Golf Day for muchneeded driving school By Andrea FERRARI R&R CARE’S Driving School for people with disability is $10,000 closer to opening thanks to the seventh Hoys/ CarFinders Charity Golf Day held last Friday 19 November. The R&R Care fundraiser turned out to be a huge success with 22 teams competing and raising money at the same time, in the sweltering Coffs heat. Rob Hoy, co-founder of Hoys Allied Health & Wellness said, “Our charity golf day is an important part of the values Hoys holds in terms of giving something back to those less fortunate in our local community.” Paul Stroud, co-founder at CarFinders and Fix My Car Coffs reiterated this sentiment saying, “Jason and I would like to thank all of the team at R&R Care for their huge effort in making this such a successful day.” The day raised close to $10,000 which is a fantastic effort for all those who played on the day, and for those local businesses who donated items in the charity day raffle. “Fundraising days like this allow us to open a world of exciting and life changing opportunities which our participants would normally not have access to,” said R&R Care CEO Daniela Shaw. The funds raised will be put towards a driving school for people with a disability. “We are so grateful to Hoys Allied Health & Wellness and CarFinders for helping to get us on our way to see the school finally come to fruition. “It has been on our list for a very long time and with their support, and any donations from other local businesses, I think we will be well on our way,” said Daniela. R&R Care was well represented on the day, with participant Cara sharing her thoughts on being a guest

of the not-for-profit NDIS provider. “I like to be socialising and getting out and about with my friends at R&R Care. “I love being part of special events like today.” While the aim of the day is to raise as many funds as possible, there was enthusiastic competition involved in the event. “This year is the seventh - and on a side note we

Coffs Harbour branch of the Royal Far West closes THE Royal Far West Children’s Health Scheme (now known as the Royal Far West (RFW)) Coffs Harbour Branch and Op Shop closed on November 5 due to a lack of volunteers and increasing costs. Created in 1949 the Coffs Harbour Branch of the RFW has been active in helping to provide health care services to children in rural and remote areas. The branch opened its Op Shop service in 1963 and has moved through various venues until it ended up in Moonee Street from 2009. Life Member and Publicity Officer Jill Gill told News Of

The Area, “Lack of volunteers over the past few years has meant that the Op Shop couldn’t maintain the number of shifts per week as we had in past years. “This had led to decreased income and the inability to keep up with rising costs. “With most of the current volunteers over 70 and not wanting to continue to take on roles and responsibilities needed to run the branch, the decision was made to close both the shop and the branch.” Jill’s family has been involved as volunteers across five generations. Branch President and Shop Manager Anne Frost expressed her sincere thanks

to all past and present volunteers for their help and support over the past 72 years. RFW continues to provide much needed health care support to children in remote and regional areas with programs including medical, dental, and developmental support. While some funding comes from the Government, the organisation raises the rest via branches around the state as well as donations and legacies. For further information on Royal Far West go to https://www.royalfarwest. org.au/.

KOBBAS Skate Fest and grants KOBBAS Skate Fest is a day to honour and remember the beautiful Koby Mitchell. Koby was a huge advocate for supporting local talent and equal opportunity, which has inspired his family and friends to hold KOBBAS Skate Fest in his honour. Koby’s family and friends have created the event to include grants to support other young skateboarders. Koby’s Mum, Stevie, told News Of The Area, “These grants are based around some of the very things Koby loved and shared with so many, not only the sport itself but the creative side that I feel needs to be encouraged, acknowledged and supported. “These grants will really make a big difference to some young people in our community, which will allow them to continue on their journey and grow.

“To support our vision and honour the humanity Koby held so close to his heart we are proud to offer three youth grants to three individuals aged between 14 and 20 years, who embrace and demonstrate all the values Koby possessed.” The event will take place on 3 and 4 December at Coffs Harbour Skatepark. “Koby’s contagious energy and spirit should

Doco pop-ups share strengthof-culture stories By Andrea FERRARI

FILMMAKER Ryan Jasper has returned to his roots in Bellingen Shire, and is sharing two documentaries, filmed over the past few years on his travels, at various popup movie nights in the Coffs Coast communities. The docos present two stories of transformational hope and strength of spirit in the face of adversity. “In the current climate of global upheaval and uncertainty, it has become more important than ever

now to share these stories,” Ryan told News Of The Area. “In both films, we witness under privileged characters – an Indigenous Aboriginal and Tibetan Buddhists setting out to create change in their community for the benefit of others, but in the process are repressed and rejected by government authorities. “Ultimately, it is their strength of culture, compassion and tenacious spirit that allows them to rise above these obstacles and succeed.”

Labor Team keen to ‘Keep What We Love, Build What We Need’

www.newsofthearea.com.au

q Tony Judge’s Coffs Harbour Labor Team is keen to protect the local environment as the region grows if elected at the coming local government election.

By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour Mayoral candidate Tony Judge has flagged development as a key issue for the upcoming Coffs Harbour City Council local government election. Tony and his Coffs Harbour Labor Team are running on the platform of ‘Keep What We Love, Build What We Need’. “Coffs Harbour is facing a challenging future; the anticipated high level of migration from Sydney to our region will put pressure on an already tight housing market,” Mr Judge stressed. “We need to grow, but we also need to ensure that we don’t lose what we love about the place where we live. “Population growth in our region is inevitable as Covid restrictions ease; many people in Sydney have discovered that they can effectively work from home, which opens up their options on where they can live.” Tony said the challenge now is keeping Coffs Harbour’s great environment and the unique character of the region as it grows.

“If we get it right, we can keep what we love about living here while we get the benefits from a boost in population – more opportunities, a stronger economy and more jobs,” he said. “That requires careful, considered planning and preparation. “Our environment is already under threat, water quality in our streams and coastal lakes has been degraded, habitat is disappearing and we are under increasing threat from extreme weather events and rising sea levels.” Mr Judge said some Council election candidates favour the traditional approach to growth, which is a rapid increase in new housing on land that has not previously been developed. “That approach can offer an apparent short-term fix, but it can also lead to widespread environmental damage and the sort of social issues that arise when community facilities fail to keep up with development,” he said. “Without effective planning and preparation,

poorly controlled development rapidly becomes the problem, not the solution. “Good development benefits our community; bad development benefits the developer at the expense of the community.” Mr Judge also stressed that a more strategic approach is needed to protect the Coffs Harbour environment and lifestyle as the region grows. “We will need some new developments, but we should also be considering options like making it easier and cheaper for older residents who want to choose to downsize,” he said. “We need to look at the potential for more residential development in the Coffs Harbour CBD and we need to look at sensible options for medium density in town centres.” However, Mr Judge stressed the need to move forward with caution. “Residents of Woolgoolga have recently made it very clear that they value the coastal village character of their town,” he said. “Along with our natural

environment, that’s an important part of why we choose to live here. “Similar debates have already happened in Sawtell and they will happen in other towns; residents are not opposed to development, but they want to retain the character of the place they live by ensuring that development is in keeping with that character.”

Mr Judge said that sort of approach takes more careful planning and some restraint in approving new developments, but that it will pay off by keeping the local environment and lifestyle great as the area grows. “The current council has already done some good work in planning for the future,” Mr Judge said. “We should be building

on that work, rather than throwing that away in the rush to develop. “My team wants to keep what we love as we build what we need; surely we should all want that, voters should take the time to find out how each candidate and each team plans to approach future development; it is the key to our future.”

Strategy and Transformation Officer Alistair Hartley said he was looking forward to connecting more Australians over the summer holidays, as further restrictions ease and vaccination rates increase. "The return service between Coffs Harbour and Sydney is a great way to encourage more Aussie families to take a welldeserved holiday this summer," said Mr Hartley. “By linking these two great centres, we want to give more people the opportunity to experience the beautiful beaches of Coffs Harbour and the Big Banana as well as provide access to the stunning surrounding region including Nambucca Heads, Bellingen, Dorrigo and Woolgoolga. “To give customers added confidence when making a new booking, we

are continuing to waive applicable change fees and allowing unlimited changes for bookings for travel between now and 30 April 2022,” he said. The flexibility accommodates the current climate with some state borders not yet fully open and NSW Health still urging people with even the mildest flu-like symptoms to get tested and isolate until receiving a negative result. The General Manager for Coffs Harbour Airport, Frank Mondello said he was excited by Virgin Australia’s return to the region, and looks forward to the airline offering locals more choice when it comes to air travel. “Virgin Australia’s addition of Sydney services is fantastic news for locals, as this provides more flexibility and choice for passengers travelling between our capital city, and the Coffs Coast. “With flights daily, Virgin Australia will be able to accommodate both leisure travellers and the growing business market which will be a welcome boost to the local economy,” he said. “These services couldn’t have arrived at a better time, as we look forward to reconnecting friends and families leading up to the holiday season.”

Virgin Flights Return VIRGIN Australia has recommenced flights last week to Coffs Harbour Airport. The first flight to touch down was VA1161 from Sydney at 8:20am on November 11. The return occurs as New South Wales eases COVID travel restrictions and many pent-up metropolitan travellers revel in their newfound freedoms. Virgin Australia will run services at least daily, with up to eleven flights a week between Sydney and Coffs Harbour over the peak Christmas school holiday period.

White Bluff, Night Bluff, 3D Bluff By Sandra MOON

INCLUSION and access are par for the course as Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery showcases their White Bluff Project exhibition in a variety of ways so audiences don’t miss out. From paintings and ceramics, to poetry and film, the exhibition showcases fifteen local artists. Gallery-goers can of course see the exhibition live on the grounds during gallery hours. But did you know you can log on to the 3D exhibition via the gallery website? So whether you are in bed, in isolation or on the

other side of the world or not you can see the results of a four year collaboration between artists and scientists. And better still you can join ecologist Mark Graham as he narrates a night time journey with the artists giving a voice to the unique ecosystem at a soundscape event on November 26, highlighting the sounds and stories of White Bluff At Night. Mr Graham will be revealing fauna and flora with biologist Greg Elks, while the audience will uncover the artists’ impressions by torch light. During the project, the artists gained deep insights

by working beside land and marine scientists, an historian and traditional Gumbaynggirr knowledge holders. A key influence has been renowned ecologist Mark Graham, who has brought the natural diversity of White Bluff to life, revealing ecosystems going back tens of millions of years. Mr Graham hopes the public will see why local places like White Bluff are worth looking after. “My role has been to interpret the ecological values of White Bluff, where ancient rainforests meet our most southern coral reefs, and how globally significant the biodiversity is,” he said. “It’s some of our country’s most diverse land q Ecologist Mark Graham will narrate White Bluff at Night.

and sea and is an incredibly stimulating place from which to develop creative expression.” Inspired by Mark’s

description of lava eruptions, painter Ray Rixon created Rupture 2020, representing the area’s earliest geological formation and the fragility the coastline faces today. Some surprising discoveries during the project include a remnant stand of rainforest hoop pines and a rare microscopic phytoplankton in surrounding rockpools. “To be on the land, in the lab and on the ocean with the artists was amazing and we now see those conversations and creative process expressed through

different artistic media,” said Mr Graham. The project was realised with funding from Coffs Harbour City Council’s Arts and Cultural Development Grants, supporting workshops and field trips to inform the final works.

TAFE Integral for Future Workforce By Sandra MOON

FRIDAY November 19 is National Agriculture Day, and this week the President of the National Farmers’ Federation praised the unique role TAFE NSW plays in training the future workforce of the agricultural industry. The head of the nation’s peak farming body focused on the integral position of TAFE NSW to train the next generation of farmers as the Mid North coast is about to experience a bumper lot of seasonal crops. National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) president Fiona Simson said ensuring the booming agriculture industry had the workforce to meet future demand

was a centerpiece of its recently released 2030 Roadmap, which outlined the NFF’s vision to grow the agricultural workforce by 25 percent over the next decade. The Australian Bureau of Agriculture, Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) has released data predicting the farming sector would reach a historically high value of $73 billion in 2021-22. And a recent study commissioned by Hort Innovation predicted harvest labour alone could be short of a staggering 24,000 casual workers by 2022. Ms Simson said, “Vocational education is key to nurturing agriculture’s

future workforce and TAFE NSW is at the forefront of vocational education. “TAFE NSW offers students an invaluable combination of theory and practical experience, which means graduates are ready to hit the ground running.” Her comments come on the back of a record year for farmers and just days out from National Agriculture Day on 19 November, with this year’s event showcasing the increasingly diverse and rewarding career opportunities available in the industry. Ms Jacqui Johnson, TAFE NSW Head Teacher Primary Industries for Coffs Harbour, said as Australia’s leading provider of vocational education and

training, TAFE NSW was uniquely positioned to arm locals with the hands-on, practical skills to power the agriculture industry for decades to come. “TAFE NSW offers a wide range of courses with practical experience for working in agriculture, focusing on food and animal production, and farm management,” Ms Johnson said. “The industry is incredibly diverse and there are so many opportunities to make a difference in a rewarding career.” Awin Binei Nohd Kadri is one of thousands of TAFE NSW agriculture graduates to be forging a successful path in the agriculture industry.

q Ms Kadri has harvested the rewards of studying horticulture. Ms Kadri attended TAFE NSW Coffs Harbour and works at Costa Berry and said the hands-on skills learned at TAFE NSW had given her a flying start into a career. “Learning with TAFE NSW means I’ll be equipped

with skills to grow a range of foods and I can one day start my own farm. “There are so many great opportunities in agriculture and so much to learn to be able to successfully grow and harvest fruits,” Ms Kadri said.

“The NSW Government is investing in new equipment at TAFE NSW campuses across the state to ensure students have the digital skills they need to gain employment,” Mr Singh said. “The classroom asset refresh program is testament to the NSW Government’s commitment to TAFE NSW and delivering the pipeline of skilled workers industry needs. “Upgrading technology across our statewide network of campuses is key to helping students get jobs, and supporting the NSW economy into the future.” Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said the investment is a prime example of how the NSW Government is investing in modern, industry-standard equipment to support quality educational outcomes. “The new technology, which is faster and more powerful than before, enables students to access a wider range of computer applications and allows teachers to deliver the highest quality education and training,” Mr Lee said. “The NSW Government is proud to invest in modern learning equipment to deliver the workforce of the future, and provide students with the digital literacy skills they need to hit the ground running once they graduate.”

TAFE Tech Upgrade BEING the nation’s oldest vocational education provider doesn’t mean using the oldest equipment. TAFE is about to get a technology refresh across both Coffs Harbour campuses. The NSW Government has announced the Coffs Harbour electorate’s share in a $10 million dollar investment in state-of-the-art technology for TAFE NSW classrooms, providing students with the best possible opportunity to learn. The Coffs Harbour electorate has received a $40,000 investment, receiving over 30 new devices across the two Coffs Harbour campuses at the sites of Glenreagh St, known as Coffs Harbour TAFE and at the Coffs Harbour Education Campus known as the CHEC campus. The devices will be new late model computers equipped with a keyboard, mouse and a large 27 inch monitor with the capability to view several windows at once. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said this latest investment is part of a statewide program delivering technology upgrades to over 1500 learning spaces across 134 metropolitan, regional and rural TAFE NSW campuses this year.

Humble pancakes on White Ribbon Day By Andrea FERRARI

WHITE Ribbon Day is this Friday 19 November 2021. White Ribbon Australia is a part of a global social movement working to eliminate gendered violence. The organisation strives for an Australian society where all women are free from all forms of violence and abuse. “There has never been a more important time to share a collective voice that domestic abuse is a crime, and it is never acceptable,” Di Woods, Manager Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre told News Of The Area. During COVID more than two in three services reported

Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre, in partnership with Mission Australia, will invite community members and services to share a free White Ribbon Pancake breakfast 8:30-10:30am on this annual awareness day - Friday 19 November - in the Community Village (behind Coles) in the centre of Coffs Harbour. “This breakfast gathering provides an opportunity for everyone to stand together to support respectful and safe communities for women,” said Di. “We felt sharing a humble pancake was appropriate given that pancakes exist all over the world, with different cultural variations. “We acknowledge this is a worldwide issue. “We all have a role to play towards speaking up and changing attitudes across our community that excuse or

turn a blind eye to behaviours that are disrespectful.” White Ribbon Day aims to increase awareness of being part of the solution. Healthy relationships are based on equality. “Domestic Abuse is actions used by male partners to gain power and control over women. “This can include verbal, psychological, emotional, financial or physical abuse. “Often this can look like intimidation, coercion or threats, putting someone down or isolating them. “If someone is experiencing domestic abuse, we encourage them to contact 1800RESPECT - 1800 737 732.” This is a 24-hour national sexual assault, family and domestic violence counselling line for any Australian who has experience.

Tquile to MC Nanga Mai Awards By Andrea FERRARI

ORARA High School Year 11 student Tquile Donovan has been chosen as the Master of Ceremonies for the 16th annual Nanga Mai Awards in Sydney. The NSW Department of Education in partnership with The NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group Incorporated (NSW AECG Inc.) host the Awards celebrating the outstanding achievements of Aboriginal students, Aboriginal and nonAboriginal teachers, other departmental staff, Aboriginal community members and schools demonstrating outstanding achievement in a range of areas of endeavour. The event was pre-filmed owing to COVID restrictions and goes live on 1 December. Tquile told News Of The Area, “I was flown to Sydney for filming of the event which took six hours. “The staff and production crew were all so nice and helpful and patient. “I had my hair and make-up done with touch-ups in between speaking and it was an incredible experience.” The Department of Education and The NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group Incorporated (NSW AECG Inc.) will stream the event on 1 December via a link on their websites and social media pages. Tquile is employed by Coffs Harbourbased Aboriginal Employment Strategy (AES) under a Group Training arrangement whereby she works with a host employer while undertaking a paid school-based traineeship. The Happy Boxes Project is Tquile’s host employer, and she has been an asset to the team. This is a registered notfor-profit charity that sends ‘happy q Orara High School Year 11 student Tquile Donovan chosen as MC for Nanga Mai Awards in Sydney.

boxes’ to over 70 remote communities nationwide. Each box contains self-care items, women’s hygiene products and little luxuries that many take for granted in urban areas. Tquile is currently completing her Year 11 studies while working one day a week with Happy Boxes as a Trainee Administration Officer. During her Year 12 studies, she will continue as a trainee with Happy Boxes Project and work towards completion of both the HSC and Certificate II in Business Administration. Her varied role sees her helping Emma Sullings, the founder of The Happy Boxes Project, with painting the newly purchased trailer to carrying out hand deliveries, facilitating women’s elders pamper sessions and packing happy boxes to be sent out to remote communities. Joshua Maguire, Career Recruitment Officer at AES told News Of The Area, “Tquile is a passionate and community minded young girl. “She is a friendly, approachable and personable individual with a strong connection to her family and culture. “AES is so proud of her

commitment and dedication to her studies, her workload, and her ability to juggle her work/life balance. “Tquile is wise beyond her years and her appointment as the Master of Ceremonies for the Nanga Mai Awards is a further confirmation of the positive role model she has already become in our community.

“This recognition on a state level is an immense honour and our entire community are so proud of Tquile.” For more information visit https://education.nsw.gov.au/ teaching-and-learning/aec/aboriginaleducation-in-nsw-public-schools/ nanga-mai-awards/16th-annual-nangamai-awards#sidenavigation_auto.

A WELCOME back was the first item on the agenda at the Mid North Coast Amateur Beekeepers Association’s (MNCABA) AGM on Sunday 14 November. “It is the first meeting since COVID restrictions have been relaxed,” Allan Thomas, the Club’s re-elected President told News Of The Area. Coffs Beekeeping Supplies in Woolgoolga was the AGM venue, where voting saw the committee returned to their positions, except for Andrea Stafford (Newsletter Editor), who stepped down and was replaced by Alison Beswick. Alison and Monica Rich (re-elected Secretary) will share the position of Social Media Facilitator. Don Wood will share the Vice-Presidential role with Matt Connell. Monica shared the meeting’s highlights. “A hive inspection was undertaken with a very informative session led by our Biosecurity Officer, John Carroll. “Volunteering expressions of interest are being sought for manning the club’s Bee Awareness stall at the Bunning’s Night Market event, on Thursday 9 December from 6-8pm. “The lucky draw followed with some amazing prizes, thanks to the Club donations.” The next MNCABA

meeting will be held on Sunday, 12 December at 10.00 for 10.30am start. This will be held at 503 Roses Rd, Bellingen. Those attending are requested to bring their own chair, food, drink and bee suit if they have one. “The awareness of bees and their contribution to plant pollination, producers of honey, wax, propolis, royal jelly and lately, bee venom, for medical research, continues to increase,” said Allan. “A well-managed hive or two in a back-yard, is a reality, if the person in charge has attended a course to build their knowledge, skills and confidence to enable them to work with the bees, since hives are not a ‘set and forget’ occupation. “Working with an experienced mentor is also very useful. “If you are interested in the idea of beekeeping, come along to one of our meetings.” Allan also runs hands-on beekeeping courses covering a myriad of beekeeping issues which include legalities, pests and diseases, and the avoidance of ‘nuisance bees’. The next course is scheduled for the 27 and 28 November at Bellingen. Registrations must be in by the 22 November. To book or inquire contact Allan, b e e ke e p i n g wo r k s h o p s @ gmail.com or 0428 712 587.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

Lease dispute regarding ‘essential term’

PAUL enters a commercial lease with VK Holdings. Paul agrees to a three year term with options to renew. After nine months Paul is struggling with cash flow. For the past few months, he has managed only partial rent payment and had been unable to pay any rent for the last fortnight. Paul pleads with VK Holdings that he intends to honour the lease and repay monies owed, as he is trying to offload stock and is looking to get an investor onboard. However, VK Holdings relies on a clause in the lease agreement that provides ‘the lessor can terminate the lease if the lessee is 14 days late in rent payment’. VK Holdings terminates the lease and begins legal proceedings to recover unpaid rent and outgoings plus damages until the lease end date totalling $74,000. In Court Paul argues that as he intended to honour the lease, and as it was the lessor who terminated the lease, he should only be liable to repay the outstanding amount owing at the date of termination being $12,000. The Court finds in favour of Paul, stating ‘a lessor cannot recover the loss which it sustains as a result of its own act to terminate and as such the loss which can be recovered by the lessor is limited to the loss which flows from the lessee’s breach’, thus dismissing the claim for additional damages sought post the termination date. If VK Holdings had sought legal advice in the preparation of the lease the solicitor may have recommended the ’14 days’ clause clearly state that it was an ‘essential term’, which if breached by the lessee, would allow VK Holdings to seek damages until the lease end date. It is important to seek legal advice when entering into lease agreements and contracts. Thank you to Anthony Fogarty for his assistance with this column.

DEAR Jasminda,

Stay off the footpath! DEAR News Of The Area,

ONCE again I feel compelled to draw attention to cyclists to remind them that when cycling on Ocean Parade Coffs Harbour, unless they are accompanying a minor cyclist, you cannot ride your bike on the footpath outside Park Beach Bowls Club.

The path from the southern end of the green heading north is not a shared path, it is for pedestrians only. The number of cyclists that navigate around pedestrians is astonishing with a total disregard of the law. I know of two serious

IN the last Coffs Harbour Council election, informal votes were high enough to get a candidate quota. However, the uninformed, the disinterested, the disillusioned don’t get a say. This election there’s a candidate appealing to those voters, saying the Council is broken, that they’ll “fix” it. The appeal is to those who don’t use

injuries suffered by pedestrians. Perhaps Council could have footpath signage painted at intervals on the footpath, for example a cyclist on a bike with a line through it, as a reminder. Regards, Trish WELSH, Coffs Harbour.

A fabulous production DEAR News Of The Area,

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone involved in the production of the fabulous show Mamma Mia.

It was just what we needed! The enthusiastic audiences show how much they enjoyed the great show. Thank you everyone

In defence of the demonstrators DEAR News Of The Area, I WAS one of those proud demonstrators. I didn't demonstrate because I am antivaccination, but because I believe in freedom of choice. Contrary to what Peter Martin said in last week's addition (‘For those 1500 anti-vaxxers who proudly demonstrated at our Jetty last Sunday’, p30, Coffs Coast News Of The Area, 12 November 2021 Edition), I believe nurses and teachers and supermarket workers all

worked in the environment when the pandemic first broke out, with no real guarantee, but they all turned to up to work and did their jobs with pride. We thank you. So I believe they take their job responsibilities very seriously. We live in Australia, ‘the free’ country. Freedom of choice and freedom of speech. If you choose to have the vaccine that's your choice and if you don't that should also be your choice.

SIX weeks ago, I was invited to my boyfriend's parents' house for dinner. He neglected to tell them that I can't stomach pork, and to be polite I forced myself to eat it and hid little bits of it under my salad, but I somehow got through the night. My boyfriend thought it was hilarious because he knows I don't like speaking up. I could have coped with that, but now we get invited over every fortnight and it is always Sunday Roast Pork night. I'm starting to dread these nights, but I don't know how to tell them now. Help! Ms Suzy V. Dear Suzy, I THINK there is more than one pig in this equation, and you probably don't need me to spell it out for you. If you were anaphylactic, would your boyfriend find it funny to suggest to his mother that honey prawns in sesame seeds was your all-time favourite? How about if you were lactose intolerant and he encouraged his mum to make a creamy, dairy-rich dessert? His insensitivity is astounding, and it really isn't a great start to a longterm relationship (if that's what you are looking for). You have been a good sport about this, but the subterfuge needs to end. And don't make excuses such as being on a special eating plan, or anything that will make it easier for him. Simply say to your boyfriend that you will not be attending any more family dinners until he comes clean with his parents about your eating preferences. Either that or invite them to your house and say you've been doing some research about how we should be eating more bugs, before you serve up a big plate of Chilli-lime Grasshoppers followed by Spicy Cicada popcorn and Mealworm Banoffee Pie. Then let's see who is squirming in their seat. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Constituency wants climate action, now! DEAR News Of The Area,

BARNABY Joyce says he "did not sign the Cop26 final agreements including a request to strengthen 2030 targets, only to issue a statement within hours

that the target is fixed" (ABC Afternoon Briefing 15-112021). The Nationals continue to hold the Morrison government hostage to limited action on climate change and are laughing

in the face of moderate Liberals who want more ambition in cutting emissions and transitioning to a clean energy economy. Their tactics are to shore up votes in the Central Queensland and NSW coal

electorates but they fail to recognise the deep desire in farming communities and other regional areas for real action to combat climate change. Coffs Harbour residents have recently experienced

the dangerous side of this argument with a supercell hailstorm smashing parts of the area with intense hail, wind and rain. Will Pat Conaghan please tell his party that the majority view of his

Changing goalposts do not help the greater community DEAR News Of The Area, AFTER days of stress, I need to vent… Our new Premier, who has moved the goal-post regarding unvaccinated people being liberated, is completely out of touch with the reality of what this decision does to our entire community, not just those who have chosen to reject the jab. On its surface, changing the date from December 1 to December 15, may

look like a reasonable course of action to improve vaccination rates. But the reality of the situation is that the last five percent of people who have, up until now, refused to get vaccinated, are unlikely to change their mind. Many of these people would have an innate distrust of the government and pulling the rug from under them only breeds more discontent and encourages them to dig their heels in further.

Wilfully wrong M BANCROFT’S comments (‘Hard to find sympathy for the wilfully unvaccinated’, p30, Coffs Coast News Of The Area, 12 November Edition) in last week's Opinion and Letters against W Duesbury and the wilfully unvaccinated reveals Mr Bancroft would have been in the front row knitting whilst the guillotine was doing its bloody work during the 1789 French Revolution. As I have yet to meet one of his so-called wilfully unvaxed persons I find his diatribe of rubbery

figures displayed selective journalism at its worst. Allow me to also quote from a recent court case in Kimber v SCC Aged Care Ltd before the Fair Work Commission in Sydney on 27 September 2021 when Deputy President Dean in a dissenting view stated that research in the context of COVID-19 has shown that many who are 'vaccinehesitant' are well educated, work in the healthcare industry and have questions about how effective the vaccines are in stopping

constituents is for climate action through lowering pollution emissions and that it is needed now! Regards, Brian MAHONY, Coffs Harbour.

The change of date will make little difference to the final uptake of the vaccine. What the change does do, though, is throw community sport, small business and retail into yet another state of upheaval. Our community has been through enough! People were banking on the 1 December date, and with our vaccine figures higher than expected, it seems ridiculous to further punish and divide our community for the sake of

Perrottet’s ego. Shopping centres will now have to rethink their plans for Santa and nonessential retailers, who have already borne the brunt of lockdowns, will have to deal with the stress of enforcing vaccination requirements for a further two weeks, at what should be their busiest time. Christmas parties, school formals, graduations and end of year gettogethers will have to be re-considered, only further impacting people's mental health. And finally, community

sport, which is run by already stressed out and fatigued volunteers, will now have to come up with yet another new game plan to try and get sport up and running in a COVIDcompliant way. All this mental anguish is not worth the, at best insignificant, change in vaccination rate. Premier Perrottet needs to look at health far more holistically. We are not simply a statistic, and our health cannot be measured by whether we have had a jab (or two).

For good mental, social and physical well-being we need the ability to earn an income, we need autonomy over our lives, we need access to community sports and events and, most importantly, we need connection with our family and friends. And, finally, we need good leaders who understand the consequences of their actions and will not change the goal-post on a whim!

transmission, whether they are safe to take during pregnancy, or if they affect fertility. A far safer and more democratic approach to addressing vaccine hesitancy, and therefore increasing voluntary vaccination uptake, lies in better education, addressing specific and often legitimate concerns that people may hold, and promoting genuine informed consent. It does not lie in censoring differing opinions or removing rights and civil liberties that are fundamental in a democratic nation. It certainly does not lie in

the use of highly coercive, undemocratic and unethical mandates. Then why wouldn't there be some hesitancy from those with a history of underlying health conditions such as anaphylaxis, thrombosis, myocarditis and pericarditis whose doctors refuse to give them a medical certificate exempting them from a coerced mandatory vaccine that would trigger these side effects but are waiting for ‘Novavax’ a traditional vaccine with 90% efficacy with mild side effects? The Hon. Fred Nile, from the NSW Parliament certainly

showed some compassion to the unvaccinated on 15 August 2021 when he stated, "Unfortunately, these experimental vaccines have not proven entirely successful and breakthrough cases are occurring right around the world. “Most concerning is the unusually high degree of adverse reactions and deaths. “As of 8 August 2021 there have been 48,143 adverse reactions, 7 confirmed deaths due to vaccination and 447 reports of death following vaccination." Mr Bancroft's stereo

typical and propagandist caricature of the wilfully unvaccinated dictate that he still has further research to undertake before attempting to pontificate on this complex matter. Hopefully he will continue to read widely and by dint of effort arrive at that moment of enlightenment when he is able to distinguish between propaganda and reality. In the meantime I do have some sympathy for Mr Bancroft, I don't know what he will do if ever there is a wool shortage. Regards, Paul L OWENS, Coffs Harbour.

Yours sincerely, Judith MCNEILL, Urunga.

Can councillors be held accountable? DEAR News Of The Area, SHOULD councillors be held accountable? Councillors like politicians are elected by

the people for the people and have an implied duty of care to represent the majority for the betterment of the whole community. When they fail they

corrupt our democracy and values and should be held accountable. It’s not that complicated. Surely legislating that

if major council decisions are challenged, to make it mandatory for the council to demonstrate the majority are in favour before it can be approved

is not that difficult. It may slow down rapid development somewhat, but a small price to pay to uphold our faith in our democracy.

How simple would that be? Regards, George PARTOS, Coffs Harbour.

We've got you covered Coffs!

NRL blockbuster returns to the Coffs Coast - Sharks v Titans By David WIGLEY

NRL ACTION will return to the C.ex Coffs International Stadium on Saturday 18 June when the Cronulla Sharks take on the Gold Coast Titans. The game is a repeat of last season's fixture, where a full house lapped up a thrilling seven try match. In the last fixture, Brian Kelly opened the scoring for the Titans but that sent the Sharks into a feeding frenzy as they chewed up the Titans defence with six unanswered tries to romp home 38-10.

David Fifita was a crowd favourite and the 107kg, 21-year-old will be looking to continue his 2021 form of 17 tries from 22 appearances into 2022. Jayden Campbell was part of the training squad that visited Coffs and has since burst onto the scene scoring five tries in seven matches with his electric pace. New Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon has strengthened the squad with the addition of Melbourne Storm fullback Nicho Hynes and there’s big hometown interest from

Shark’s new signing Locky Miller from Coffs Harbour. The former Sawtell Panthers captain and SCU Marlins half-back signed a two year deal with the Sharks in September after he returned from the Tokyo Olympics where he scored three tries for Australia in the Rugby 7s. Last year’s event wasn’t just a rugby match, it was a carnival of footy fever that swept the region and it started at Orara High School where the Sharks captain Wade Graham and

teammates Will Chambers and Shaun Johnson greeted students, held a Q&A session and gifted a new trailer to the school courtesy of their major sponsor Aramex. Match day had something for everyone with NRL inflatables for the kids, musicians entertained the crowd, a traditional Smoking Ceremony acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land, team mascots engaging the crowd, flamethrowers and Sharks cheerleaders. The game didn’t disappoint with an attacking brand of end to end football and a post match

celebration where the players acknowledged the crowd on a lap of honour and fans took selfies. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said he was proud C.ex Coffs International Stadium would again play host to the Sharks and Titans. “We’re expecting bumper crowds will flock to the Stadium for the Round 15

game set down for Saturday, 18 June, at 3pm. “Holding an NRL premiership fixture in Coffs Harbour for the first time this year was truly something special. “I’m delighted we are able to continue to deliver for sports fans on the Coffs Coast and beyond in 2022,” said Mr Singh.

State titles at Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club By Aiden BURGESS

STATE titles were on the line last weekend, as the Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club hosted the latest round of one of Australia’s most prestigious karting championships. State titles were up for grabs over three big days of racing, as the Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club hosted the Rotax NSW State Championship. The Rotax Pro Tour is a nationally recognised Karting series that offers the highest level of competition in Australia to owners of a Rotax 125 MAX engine. The Coffs Harbour event was the latest round of the

Friday, 19 November 2021

2021 Rotax Pro Tour, which is also held in Warwick, Geelong, and Canberra. Christian Estasy and his father Adrian were among the many drivers and racing crew who travelled from across Australia to take part in the Coffs Harbour round. The father and son team from Sydney have travelled around Australia to racing events. It was Christian’s first time racing at the Coffs Harbour track, and the 14-year-old noticed the difference between it and his home track in Sydney. “It’s a lot more technical in regards to racing and a lot more narrow and tight,”

Christian said. His father Adrian was formerly a top junior driver while growing up in England. In fact he shared with News Of The Area his days of racing against arguably the greatest driver of all-time. “I actually raced against Lewis Hamilton when he and I were juniors in England,” he said. “I was a few years older than him and I beat him a couple of times. “But I just knew he was going to be something special, and the era I came from there were a lot of good junior riders in karting.” Adrian finished third at the 2004 Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals in Egypt, while his son has qualified for this year's event to be held in Bahrain.

NICK CAVE ALONE AT ALEXANDRA PALACE

ABC TV PLUS, 8.30pm

Filmed in response to the pandemic after Nick Cave (pictured above) couldn’t embark on his American and European tour with his Bad Seeds band, this is mesmerising and beautiful viewing. The iconic Australian singer-songwriter performs from his sweeping catalogue of songs in an empty and atmospheric Alexandra Palace in London. Cave doesn’t utter a single word other than lyrics, but it feels personal as we witness him play with passion, sadness and verve.

Tuning in for a season ﬁnale is always a bit nerveracking: will the conclusion be palatable and, more pressingly, is another season on the way? Fans of this charming ‘50s-set drama will be pleased to ﬁnd a resounding yes to both questions; now we can all sit back and immerse ourselves in the three-piece suit-wearing, respectable world of Reverend William Davenport (Tom Brittney, pictured right) and his sidekick DI Geordie Keating (Robson Green). Tonight, a successful music producer who has been involved in a domestic dispute with his wife is murdered, and Geordie must consider whether an army buddy could be the killer.

part of the beach to position the red and yellow flags • Patrol the flagged area and monitor the beach conditions • Conduct preventative actions and rescue people in distress • Provide modified

first aid and assistance to people in trouble on the beach and in the water • Work with other emergency services to assist with incident response away from patrolled locations or outside patrol hours • Provide information to beachgoers about surf conditions, beach safety and beach alert or closure

safety, develop their beach awareness and teach them the skills to competently swim in the ocean. Children aged 5 to 13 years old gain confidence through the Club’s Sunday Nipper days in a safe beach environment, while meeting new friends, having fun, and working towards becoming a future surf lifesaver.

Juniors take to the water in new double skis COFFS Harbour Surf Life Saving Club juniors took to the water in the Club’s new double skis on the weekend, some riding the ski for the first time. The double skis, kindly funded by Park Beach Bowling Club, will be used

for youth training and the development of their skills, providing a great benefit for those learning how to ski paddle. The skis will also be used competitively at local, state and national carnivals. Senior members partnered with junior lifesavers on the weekend, guiding them through how to paddle a ski.

Park Beach Bowling Club CEO Thane Duncan and Chairperson Bev White were at Jetty Beach watching the skis in action. “It’s so good to see these young life savers developing their skills in the water and we are so proud to help make it happen,” said Thane Duncan. “Plus, the skis look great!”

months after they were postponed this year. Australian Oztag General Manager Bill Harrigan explained the reasoning behind moving the State Championships in Coffs Harbour back a few months. “The February and March dates were the original dates for the NSW 2022 State Cup, it was a no-brainer to move the Australian Championships to these dates as the venue was already booked and Nationals must be played before the 2022 State Cups,” he said. “This meant we had to move the NSW State Cup tournaments to later in the year. “We knew there would be ramifications but again, it was imperative we play the NSW State Cups. “The logistics of fitting the tournaments in was going to be difficult considering the stadium availability, playing them before the scheduled 2022 Australian Championships, and contending with winter

sports.” Harrigan highlighted a big change for next year's NSW Junior State Cup. “Friday will be a lay day, the reason for this split and Friday being a lay day is on two fronts,” he said. “If we played the four days in a row and the same number of teams which attended the 2021 State Cup attend, then Coffs Harbour would simply not cater with the accommodation needed. “It would mean around 380 teams could possibly attend, the largest tournament we’ve had in Coffs Harbour was 325 and people were staying in Grafton and Nambucca Heads. “We also don’t know what restrictions may still be present regarding crowd size due to COVID-19. “Therefore, having this Friday off allows the 13s to 17s divisions to vacate and free up accommodation for the 9s to 12s coming in for the weekend, and it also allows the 13s to 17s who play winter sport the opportunity to return home and play on the weekend.”

Sydney Sixers star Stephen O’Keefe has urged the people of the Mid North Coast to get their tickets early. “We loved our trip to Coffs

Harbour two seasons ago and picked up a nice win, so we’d love to do it again this time around,” the former test bowler said. “With two games there this season it would be great to get as many people as are allowed into C.ex Stadium and have all of them cheering for us. “From what we are hearing the interest for these games is really high and with the capacity restrictions, people really do need to buy their tickets early so they don’t miss out.” Ticket prices begin at $5 for children, concessions from

$20, adults from $25 and $55 for families and are available via Ticketek. Sharon McDougall, Section Leader, Stadium and Major Events said the matches would be the perfect start to the New Year. “What a fantastic way to kick off 2022 here on the Coffs Coast – by hosting not one but two BBL matches at C.ex Coffs International Stadium. “We encourage everyone, locals and visitors alike to get your tickets and get behind the Sydney Sixers at their home away from home,” said McDougall.

Diggers Defeat Sawtell in T20 By David WIGLEY

DIGGERS Cricket Club notched up another victory in the first grade T20 Cup defeating Sawtell by 32 runs last Saturday. Diggers skipper Jonathon Paff won the toss and elected to bat, sending fast bowler Reuben Carey in to open the batting. Reuben thrived at the top order, clocking up 33 runs from 42 balls with Ty Adams hitting 55 runs from only 32 balls to accumulate 156 runs for 8 wickets after 20 overs. After last week’s impressive bowling, fourteenyear-old Jacob Cross was given the opportunity to open the bowling attack for the Diggers and he didn’t disappoint, dismissing the opening batsman for a duck. Diggers captain Jonathon Paff shared insights to the

game. “Reuben who normally opens the bowling opened the batting instead and made 33 with Ty Adams going big for 53 off 32 balls. “With the bowling Jacob Cross opened for the first time and got 1/8 off 2 and Ty (Adams) 2/17 off four. “We played well, we are starting to get a bit itchy to play some longer form cricket, we played on synthetic wickets due to rain so we are also keen for turf.” Ty Adams put in another all round performance with both bat and ball. “Today was a good win for the boys against Sawty, we played well as a unit, everyone did their job with either bat or ball, and an overall solid team performance,” Ty said. “It's good to be back out in the middle with the boys even better if you get

Two AFL North Coast coaches look to make history q Coffs Harbour Breakers’ Katika Adams.

By Aiden BURGESS

TWO AFL North Coast coaches are set to make coaching history in the region. Katika Adams and Matt Anderson are on the path to becoming the region’s first ever Level 3 accredited coaches. The two local coaches are completing the Level 3 course, which is the highest level of accreditation that someone outside the elite AFL system can obtain. With access to the Level 4 course limited to coaches seeking to become AFL senior coaches, completing the Level 3 course will put Adams and Anderson at the forefront of coaching at community football level across the nation. Both have been an integral part of the AFL North Coast’s coaching fraternity in recent years. Katika Adams is the Coffs Harbour Breakers reserve grade coach, while Matt Anderson has an extensive coaching resume with the Sawtell/Toormina Saints senior and junior clubs which also includes coaching the North Coast Force junior

representative teams and the Northern Heat program. Adams’ opportunity to take part in the Level 3 course came about after she was selected to take part in the ‘She Can Coach’ program, which is designed to invest in the development of the next wave of talented female coaches within the state. The Coffs Harbour Breakers reserve grade coach is one of just 14 women who were offered a place in a statebased AFL Level 3 Coaching Accreditation course. The group of 14 includes a number of coaches who are involved at VFLW and AFL Academy levels. Adams said she was ready for the challenge presented by the Level 3 coaching course. "Coaching is harder than it looks but I was ready for a challenge and to develop a new skill set,” she said. “My drive and my passion comes from being able to help players reach their full potential. “If I can be a part of that by bettering my coaching skills and following a career into the AFLW coaching sphere, I would love that.” Anderson said the current

Level 3 course focused more on grassroots coaching. "You would normally need to live in a capital city and be involved in an elite program to be able to put the Level 3 learnings into practice,” he said. “This year the content is much more focussed around the community footy environment and I felt it was a great chance to further develop my coaching skills and knowledge so I can offer even more to the players I'm working with at all levels."

AFL North Coast Community Football Manager, Paul Taylor, said that it was great to see coaches with a thirst for learning. "It was only a few years ago that we didn't have any coaches accredited above Level 1 in the region, so it's amazing to think that in a few short years we're now at the point where we have coaches tackling the Level 3 course,” he said. "All credit to Katika and Matt who are pushing themselves beyond their

comfort zone to be the best coaches they can be. “Everything they learn from this experience will only benefit the players they coach." Following hot on the heels of Katika and Matt are another three local coaches who will be undertaking the Level 2 course. The biggest single year registration into the course sees Luke Stanford, Shannon Goodenough, and Matt Crawley all enrolled in the program.

Each of the three are really excited to get started with the learning so they can put it into practice. Luke coaches at North Coast PSSA, North Coast Force, and Northern Heat levels. Shannon is the Youth Girls coach at Coffs Harbour Breakers and is stepping up to an Assistant Coach role with the North Coast Academy of Sport, where she'll work side by side with Head Coach and fellow Level 2 participant, Matt Crawley.

Chasing Valleys first day total of 9/268 declared, Harwood were bowled out for 158 with Valleys starting their season in style with a 110-run victory at home. Jared Baldwin took 3/16 from his 9 overs while Ben Pierce took 2/30 in his 12 overs for Valleys.

Trent Statham also bowled an economical spell taking 1/10 from his 7 overs. The North Coast Cricket Council’s Premier League season continues this Saturday with the opening day of two-day matches in Round 2 at Coffs Harbour and Harwood. After having the opening round bye, deafening

champions Sawtell will look to open their season with a win when they take on the competition’s newest club the Coffs Colts at the Coffs Coast Hockey Fields. The Northern Districts Rebels will look to make it two wins in a row to start the season when they travel to take on Harwood.

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately? Ever Heard Of A Sacrificial Anode?

MICHAEL KELLY FREE QUOTES

Lic 345235C

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.

New Homes and Re-Paints

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.

Coffs Harbour NSW 2450

“REMEMBER, YOU CAN’T LOSE. NO ANODE REPLACEMENT, NO CHARGE” Comes with a 5 year warranty Make your Hot Water System last for 30 years without replacement.

"Honey, does my business look big in this?" CA

By David WIGLEY

NANA GLEN defeated Bellingen by a slender three run margin in the Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association First Grade T20 match at Coffs Hockey Fields last Saturday. Nana Glen captain Nicklaus Stanlen-Velt won the toss, elected to bat and scored 115 runs for 5 wickets after 20 overs on a slow outfield. Hayden Cekanauskas was the top scorer with 33 runs from 19 balls not out with Bradley Neary backing him up with 24 runs. Bellingen responded with Jai Bowd hitting 58 runs from 57 balls to set up a thrilling finale which went down to the final ball from the final over, where Bellingen just fell short with 112 runs for 9 wickets after 20 overs. In the afternoon match, Nana Glen defeated the Northern District Rebels with another stand out performance from Provider #PR-40000780

Local Community News ~ Proudly Independent

Hayden Cekanauskas. Nana Glen captain Nicklaus Stanlan-Velt was delighted with their start to the season with three wins from three. “The boys have started the season with three wins from three games. “My focus has been allocating important roles to young players such as Dan Craig, Beau Guthrie, Cam Forster, Riley Dagger and Pete Tai Hlaw. “These young guys aged thirteen and upward showcase a high standard of technical qualities and understanding. “Being placed in this strong environment their abilities have so far outshone their lack of experience. “Hayden Cekanauskas was a standout batsmen of the day making 33 not out and 86,” said Nicklaus. Nana Glen’s next match is against Diggers Cricket Club who are also undefeated, they play on Saturday 20 November at Fitzroy Oval at 1pm.
