scored 95% for the number of results that fall within Fair, Good or Very Good as according to partner guidelines (see www.ozgreen.org/ br_interpretation) and both catchments scored 93% or above for every 12-month period shown. These results verify the partners’ scientific understanding that these are unique river systems and some of the healthiest and most pristine rivers in Australia. However, BR has identified a number of sites showing poorer results along Caratti Creek, Spicketts Creek, Never Never River, Bellinger River and Kalang River. “With the huge loss of biodiversity happening across the globe, it is important that we maintain a focus on protecting Earth’s healthier ecosystems that foster high biodiversity,” said Program Manager Amy Denshire. The BR partnership is asking all residents and tourists to work together to take actions to care for and protect these incredibly valuable ecosystems. “Even small changes to a catchment can have large downstream impact. “Everything we do in our backyards or on our riverbank affects water quality in our river. “No matter whether you’re living on the river or in town, it’s hugely important to be mindful of what impact your actions will have,” said Justine Elder, Bellingen Shire Council. “To be a part of the generation that cares for and helps to keep these rivers pristine for the future is a real privilege and our partners believe the Bellingen Shire community and the people that visit this area are perfectly placed

to take this on. “We have an opportunity here to work together to both protect biodiversity that rely on these rivers and to ensure that future generations do not have to pay the high costs of rehabilitation,” said Amy. Other important aspects of protecting

YAM acronym for Yarrila Art Gallery & Museum By Emma DARBIN COFFS Harbour’s future Art Gallery and Museum, being constructed at Yarrila Place, will be officially known as the acronym YAM. YAM is an acronym for Yarrila Arts & Museum, and the acronym name follows Coffs Harbour City Council’s recent endorsement of the Cultural and Civic Space (CCS) building’s official name of Yarrila Place. Other names shortlisted for the new Art Gallery and Museum included Coffs Museum and Gallery, AMY (Arts and Museum, Yarrila), and CG&M (Coffs Gallery and Museum). Council agreed to adopt the name of YAM for the combined Art Gallery and Museum at Yarrila Place at a Council meeting on Thursday 14 October. At the meeting, Cr Sally Townley moved an alternate amendment to instead engage Council’s branding consultants, North Branding, who had recently undertaken Council's rebranding to look at the naming of the region’s new Art Gallery and Museum.

Friday, 22 October 2021

However, Council’s General Manager Steve McGrath stated that Council had already engaged with the branding company in regards to the new name for the Art Gallery and Museum. Cr George Cecato questioned where the new acronym YAM would be written on the new building. “If I understand you correctly we are physically going to have some signs in the area that says YAM, is that correct?” Cr Cecato asked at the meeting. Mr McGrath confirmed that the YAM acronym would be spread throughout the new building. “Yes, that’s correct, there is quite an extensive wayfinding process through the building which incorporates signage and flags,” Mr McGrath said. Cr Tegan Swan questioned whether it was Council’s intention to use the acronym YAM or the official full name. “There will be parts of the signage that will have the full name, but then on some of the wayfinding signage it will be more common to use

the acronym,” Mr McGrath confirmed. Cr Paul Amos spoke against Cr Townley’s amendment, and said he felt “indifferent” about the proposed acronym for the new Art Gallery and Museum. “This name will be on that building for a very, very long time,” Cr Amos affirmed. “We’ve got to think long and hard about this. “I like the (idea of) the acronym with the building, it’s futuristic, it's got the regional library, it's got the

office, it's got the gallery, it's green, maybe it could be the big green frog!” Cr Michael Adendorff questioned how much consultation had gone into arriving at the acronym YAM for the new building. “Are we not veering into a total disregard for the importance of the work that was done to arrive at the name Yarrila?” Cr Adendorff asked. “I don’t know where YAM comes from, where’s the consultation behind it, I just don't understand how we got to YAM.”

Mr McGrath, however, confirmed that much consultation had been undertaken between Council and relevant stakeholder groups to arrive at the acronym of YAM. Cr Townley’s amendment that the responsibility for the naming of the new Regional Art Gallery and Museum be incorporated into the Branding Consultant’s brief was defeated. Councillors eventually voted 6 votes to 1 for Council to adopt the name

of YAM (Yarrila Arts and Museum) for the combined Art Gallery and Museum at Yarrila Place, with Crs Denise Knight, Paul Amos, George Cecato, Keith Rhoades, Tegan Swan and Sally Townley voting for the new YAM acronym, and Cr Michael Adendorff voting against. The naming and associated wayfinding signage will be completed as part of the CCS Project construction, due for completion in October 2022.

National Water Week 2021 18th to 24th October 2021

This year’s theme, Caring for Water and Country, aims to deepen our understanding of Australian First Nations people’s knowledge of protecting and sustaining our water and lands for over 65,000 years.

Did you know?

Our current River water supply sources (Orara River, Nymboida River) are located in Gumbaynggirr Nation country. The Gumbaynggirr word for water is ngaarlu, pronounced nar-loo. Gaagal, pronounced as ga-gal, is the ocean and is the totem of the Gumbaynggirr Nation. Being both saltwater (ngaarlu wiinyjarr) and freshwater (wurunggam) people, ALL water is vital.

How did Gumbaynggirr people source fresh water?

The Gumbaynggirr people have lived here for thousands of years, relying on seasonal, environmental water. Broad-Leaved Paperbark (Melaleuca quinquenervia), or balawun.ga, is a precious resource that has been used for generations by the Gumbaynggirr people. The knobs on the tree are a good source of fresh water. (source: arrawarraculture.com.au - Fact sheet 12)

Other water sources were only used for spiritual purposes, such as Mimiga Gaungan (St Marys Waterhole) in Woolgoolga A women’s place.

(source: National Parks & Wildlife Service - Mimiga Gaungan Appendix 14)

Arrawarra headland is renowned as a place of cultural significance and an important men’s rainmaking site. Guluun gaamnga, or ‘increase-the-rain ceremonies’ are known to take place on the headland. (source: arrawarraculture.com.au - Fact sheet 2)

FROM Page 1 who say they were not kept informed about the project’s rising costs. A Council report stated that a number of issues had arisen and been managed by the Airport Enterprise Park (AEP) project team to progress the development in line with its tight timeframe for delivery under Federal and State Government grant agreements. “The most significant issues have been difficult ground conditions and the requirement for a large amount of additional fill material for road construction and the raising of lots to the required levels to facilitate appropriate drainage,” the report stated. “It is acknowledged that given the large amount of additional bulk earthworks required, this potential for budget impact should have been made known to Councillors earlier.” The budget cost increase is detailed as $5.6 million, with the project budget contribution from Council now forecast to be $10.5 million for the two initial stages. A February 2021 update report on the project noted an estimated $5 million contribution from Council’s Sewer Fund, but the budget contribution will now need

to remain at $10.5 million to enable the completion of the project. Cr Sally Townley detailed her frustration over a lack of councillor information about the project’s development when the issue was discussed at a Council meeting on Thursday 14 October. “Councillors have been asking ‘how is this budget tracking’, and I just think it’s an unreasonable position to put us in saying ‘this has happened, it is a big blowout and now we’re asking you retrospectively to approve it’,” Cr Townley stated. Cr Townley said the estimated cost for the earthworks was $1.5m, and now was over $9m. “Now that’s a massive, massive, massive lack of calculation, lack of scoping, lack of preparation,” Cr Townley stressed. “I wish that councillors had been kept in the loop a lot more on this super important project, one of the biggest things that we’ve got going. “So what are we going to do now, so that’s like $5m that we didn’t account for, are we going to pay ourselves back that money when in seven years time we start getting the money that comes from the lease sharing arrangements?” Cr Paul Amos pondered over whether the Council was becoming a bit “number dead”. “This is over budget,” Cr Amos stated. “$5.6m is a lot of money to most councils, I wonder if we

are getting a little number dead.” A Council director present at the meeting agreed that “there should have been more analysis, and that would have brought out the issue with the earthworks”, which he stated led to a $4.2m overrun with the project budget. The forecast end cost for the project is now over $30 million. Mayor Denise Knight also expressed her frustration over a lack of information about the progression of the project. “When I saw this on the business paper, we (the councillors) felt like we were between a rock and a hard place on this one, without having information leading up to this and then having to make a decision on the night,” Cr Knight stated. “I accept the apology from the Director, but can we not let this happen again, please? “If we could please have regular emails coming out to us just letting us know where we are up to, it would have been nice to have a lot more information coming to us.” Cr George Cecato stated that there were circumstances that led the project to go over budget and that the final product would make the city proud. “So did we go over budget, yes we did, would I have preferred being told earlier, yes I would have,” Cr Cecato said. “I believe that yes we’ve gone over but there were circumstances to go over, but

q A lack of information about the development of Coffs Harbour’s Airport Enterprise Park has raised the ire of local councillors, following a budget blowout to $30m. Photo: Emma Darbin. the quality of the final product is something that is going to make this city very proud for many, many years to come. “It’s a great project, it’s for the future of this city, for employment, for the long term financial benefit of the Council.” Councillors unanimously approved for Council to note that the best estimate for the forecast end cost of the project is $30,030,240, and note the expenditure of the $10.5 million budget contribution funded from the previously agreed Sewer Fund internal loan, which will be reflected in the September Quarterly Budget Review Statement. Council will also approve an additional allocation of $670,324 for the relocation of Telstra assets from within the airside boundary to be funded through the Airport Reserve. The forecast end cost for the

project is now $30,030,240 to be funded through: ● $10 million Federal Government grant (Regional Growth Fund) ● $10 million State Government (Restart NSW Fund) ● $10.5 million Council Internal Loan (Sewer Fund) The AEP construction has been divided into three major works portions (Work Portion A (WPA), Work Portion B (WPB) and Work Portion C (WPC)) with WPA completed in early 2021. WPB is currently under construction (90% complete and scheduled to be finished October 2021) and includes substantial lot filling, the construction of the new Hogbin Drive intersection, 26 fully serviced lots, road works, drainage and the reconstruction of Christmas Bells Road. Tenders have recently closed

for WPC, which includes 34 fully serviced lots and associated roadways and services. With the acceptance of the tender for WPC, the project is on track to meet the completion date of April 2022 stipulated in the Federal and State grant agreements. Progressing concurrently with the construction of the project, Council has also resolved to seek a rezoning of the AEP. The rezoning application has been submitted and an independent assessment of the application is currently underway. It is anticipated that the 43 hectare subdivision site will attract a mixture of business enterprises as well as new aviation related enterprises to the area, boosting employment for the long term and providing significant economic benefits to the Coffs Harbour region.

Invitations for Bypass tender process announced By Andrew VIVIAN CONSTRUCTION of the Coffs Harbour bypass moved a step closer last week following a joint announcement from Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Barnaby Joyce; Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan; State Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole; and Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh. Three companies; CPB Webuild Joint Venture, Acciona Seymour Whyte Joint Venture and Gamuda Ferrovial Joint Venture have been selected to take part in the tender process for the bypass. The successful contractor will be announced in mid-2022. Mr Joyce said the announcement moves Coffs Harbour and the surrounding region a step closer to realising the benefits of this economy-boosting project. He said that the bypass will help to connect communities and improve safety, while creating jobs and supporting economic recovery. Mr Toole said, “This will be the biggest infrastructure project in Coffs Harbour’s history, removing more than 12,000 vehicles a day from the centre of town, bypassing twelve sets of lights and saving around eleven minutes in travel time.” Mr Conaghan said the bypass will

deliver an economic boost to the region, creating about 12,000 jobs during construction. “Not only will locals get work but they’ll also get valuable training and experience that will be transferable to many careers or business ventures. “Supporting businesses will also enjoy a boost, as seen up and down the coast during the recently completed Pacific Highway upgrade.” Mr Singh said, “We’ve signed up thirteen local builders to carry out work

on a range of at-home-noise treatments including seals to windows and doors, reglazing with acoustic glass, installation of air conditioning, acoustic insulation or relining of exposed walls. “More than 30 local businesses have also been engaged for the preliminary work now taking place and there will be more opportunities for local suppliers as work progresses,” he continued. More information is available at w w w. p a c i f i c h i g h w a y. n s w. g o v. a u / coffsharbourbypass.

FAMILIES across Cowper will benefit from greater child care support sooner, with increased Child Care Subsidy (CCS) for multiple children brought forward from 7 March 2022, four months earlier than first expected. The increased subsidies were due to come into effect on 11 July 2022, but the Government has been able to work with Commonwealth agencies and service providers to make necessary technical changes sooner. From 7 March 2022, families with two or more children aged five years and under in care will have their CCS rate increased by 30 percentage points for their second child and younger children, up to a maximum rate of 95 per cent. A family earning $11,000 a year with two kids in care, four days a week will be better off by $100 a week. The $10,655 annual cap will also be scrapped on 10 December 2021 and applied retrospectively for the whole 2021-22 financial year, meaning families who hit the cap before the date will receive a refund on any excess fees paid. There are around 1440 families in Cowper that have two or more children in care and could benefit from the increased subsidy.

More than half of eligible Australian families will receive the maximum 95 per cent subsidy. Minister for Education and Youth Alan Tudge said the changes would ease pressure on working families in Cowper and encourage more parents into work. “These changes are good for families and great for the economy, and it’s significant that we are able to deliver them sooner,” Mr Tudge said. “Removing the cap and increasing subsidies will allow more parents, particularly mothers, to return to work or take on more hours if they choose to. Pat Conaghan, Federal Member for Cowper, said the support would be targeted at those that need it most. “We know child care costs can really add up when you have two, three or more children in care and this package will help those families by significantly reducing out-of-pocket costs for the second child and younger children,” Mr Conaghan said. “This will make a real difference in the lives of families right across the Mid North Coast. “The changes will also see this government’s total investment in child care grow to $11 billion a year they build on the Child Care Package we introduced in 2018 that is still keeping out-of-pocket costs low.”

EPA Fines Blueberry Farmer By Sandra MOON

THE NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is finally catching up to farmers polluting our waterways with pesticide and Berries Australia are fully supportive of the move. The latest blueberry grower on the Mid North Coast to receive the $7,500 fine for water pollution is a Woolgoolga farmer who had failed to comply regarding their pesticide use. During an inspection of the farm, EPA officers found pesticides being used close to a waterway, and poor storage of chemicals which had allowed the pesticides to enter the water. The farmer’s failure to keep adequate pesticide application records scored them an Official Caution. EPA Acting Director Regulatory Operations Janet Sparrow said pesticides can be dangerous and lead to negative human health impacts and wildlife death, if not managed properly. “Pesticide misuse and poor management can cause serious environmental impacts, such as contaminated water habitats and soil,” Ms Sparrow said. “Regular exposure to contaminated environments can also lead to greater risks of negative health effects for communities.” The EPA issued a clean-up notice to the grower requiring immediate clean-up and disposal of the used pesticide containers on the property. The EPA will continue to monitor compliance with environmental regulations at farms in the area. “It’s critical that pesticides are used responsibly on farms to protect community and environment health, including aquatic wildlife,” Ms Sparrow said. “Keeping up-to-date records is legally required because it helps track how pesticides are used, and can prevent pollution.” Berries Australia Executive Director Rachel Mackenzie said that the EPA response shows that the system is working and demonstrates that non-compliance will not be tolerated. “Like all industries operating in the Coffs region the berry industry is subject to a range of regulations to keep the community and environment safe and like all sectors there will be those who do not do the right thing,” she said. “The vast majority of berry growers in the Coffs region manage their crop-protection products very carefully.

“The regulations around chemical use are very strict to ensure that all products are 100% safe for human consumption and there are multiple checks and balances in the system to protect consumers. According to Ms Mackenzie, “Under the water quality regulations, the thresholds are set very low so there is no danger to human health.” Ms Mackenzie said that Berries Australia will continue to educate all berry growers about their chemical management obligations, and we encourage anyone with concerns to report them to the EPA. Members of the public are encouraged to report any pollution incidents to Enviro Line on 131 555.

Debate over councillor disclosures of interest EXPLOSIVE debate among councillors unfolded at a recent Coffs Harbour City Council meeting regarding a lack of disclosure of land ownership by Cr Sally Townley and her eligibility to run for Council. Community outrage spread across social media last week following allegations on the Coffs Harbour City Council Elections 2021 Forum social media page on Facebook that Cr Townley, a Bellingen resident, purchased a very small parcel of land in the Coffs Harbour electorate for $510 to enable her to run for Council. An admin post on the page also alleges that Cr Townley failed to disclose her ownership of the parcel of land to Council, which was allegedly purchased in May 2020. The Local Government Act 1993 requires councillors to lodge a Disclosure of Interest at the end of each financial year. Members of the public Facebook page have questioned whether Council rates are being paid on this small parcel of land, and the legitimacy of being a local councillor on the basis of this land ownership. At Council’s meeting on Thursday 14 October, councillors debated the Register of Disclosure of Interests by Councillors and Designated Persons for the

period July 2020 – June 2021. Cr Keith Rhoades instigated a line of questioning at the meeting regarding a lack of disclosure of councillor ownership of the above-mentioned property. “In the disclosures tonight we’ve got a disclosure in there about a block of land, it’s identified as Lot 8 Lyons Road in Sawtell,” Cr Rhoades stated. “This used to be owned by Council, it’s now owned by a councillor. “It was transferred to the councillor in the year 2019/20 financial year.” Council’s General Manager Steve McGrath refuted this claim and confirmed that the land was not owned by Council, but was among a number of parcels sold by Council for unpaid rates. “It was never owned by Council,” Mr McGrath stated. “Council can sell land that has had rates outstanding for five years.” Cr Rhoades continued his line of questioning on the matter and expressed his concern over the issue. “I and many residents at the present moment are very concerned,” he said. “I think councillors are fully aware over the last 24-48 hours there’s been some commentary out in the community, in these disclosures before us tonight.” Cr Rhoades questioned what the reserve was for this land for the sale. Cr Townley then called

a point of order on how relevant the issue was to Council discussion on this year’s disclosures of interest. “How is this relevant?” Cr Townley asked. Cr Rhoades replied “because it’s in this year’s disclosures that we are asked to vote on”. “This particular block of land is in those disclosures,” he stated. “These are what the community want to know about that disclosure on that block of land that’s in tonight’s business papers for resolution by Council tonight.” Cr Rhoades alleged that it was not disclosed to Council in previous disclosures of interest in 2019/20 that a councillor owned that particular property. “That is of concern,” Cr Rhoades stated.

q Cr Keith Rhoades. Photo: Coffs Harbour City Council.

because it’s not included in what we have to disclose,” Cr Swan stressed. Cr Rhoades, however, stated that both he and the community wanted to know these details “The community is asking these questions because there is a very big grey area around this,” Cr Rhoades said. “I want to know and the community want to know. “This block of land is identified in the disclosures before councillors tonight, it is available to the public to view, it is a public document.” Mr McGrath confirmed for Cr Rhoades that the parcel of land was sold by auction, and cautioned councillors about making allegations about breaches of the Code of Conduct. “I would draw Council’s attention to the Code of Conduct,” Mr McGrath stated. “The Code is very specific about things, and one of those things is that allegations of breach of the Code of Conduct should not be made in a public forum." Mr McGrath suggested that if there were concerns by members of Council or the community that there had been a breach of the Code of

Conduct to lodge a complaint through the proper channels. “It’s not appropriate for public allegations to be made by anyone,” Mr McGrath stressed. Cr Swan expressed her disappointment over the line of questioning. “I feel the disappointing intent of that line of questioning was to undermine a certain councillor’s ability to run (for Council),” she stated. Cr Paul Amos agreed and called the line of questioning “tacky”. “I think this is very tacky and it should be beneath the councillors to take this line of questioning,” Cr Amos stated. “I think we should just move on.” Mayor Denise Knight also agreed that it was “tacky” and “below the belt”. “I agree with everybody, I think this is tacky, it’s below the belt,” Cr Knight said. “If you feel that there has been any wrongdoing we do have a Code of Conduct to abide by, but this is below the belt, particularly this close to going into Caretaker (mode) and I don’t agree with the discussion that’s been going on.”

CLOSING SOON CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST Acquisition of vacant site in Coffs Harbour CBD

“There has been a breach of conduct, it could be a matter that should go to ICAC.” Mayor Denise Knight at this stage of the discussion intervened and said “Cr Rhoades please”, in response to his line of questioning. However, Cr Rhoades continued to raise questions and asked if there were “rates payable on this block”. Cr Townley interjected and called a second point of order in relation to the consistent line of questioning on the issue. “This is not relevant at all to this year’s disclosures,” Cr Townley stated. “Are you gonna ask everyone else about the entitlement of their property? “This is absolutely not relevant.” Cr Rhoades continued and said he believed the block identified in the disclosures being discussed was sold for $510. Cr Tegan Swan then called another point of order. “Madame Mayor I find this inappropriate, the disclosures are about listing properties not the details and this is personal and a level of scrutiny that shouldn’t be subject to a councillor

Add to history with NSW Blue Plaques Program By Sandra MOON

STORYTELLING is the essence of the NSW Blue Plaques Program and you are encouraged to contribute to their stories reflecting the diversity and richness of our area’s history. It is a great opportunity to balance the books of history and elevate stories of women, Indigenous Australians and multicultural shakers and movers who have shaped and influenced our locale, as well as places that have historical and heritage value. Even social movements can qualify to get a plaque! The program is modelled on a similar initiative in the United Kingdom and will showcase key heritage sites, key personalities, events and places. Member for Coffs Harbour

Gurmesh Singh encourages our community to nominate local places and personalities which deserve to have their

heritage value recognised. “I’m asking everyone to think of the places in our community that have an

important story attached to them and submit those suggestions to my office to be nominated for a Blue Plaque,” Mr Singh said. “The place could be a much loved historic building,

a place linked to a moment in history, or even somewhere linked to a local hero. “By suggesting these sites, we can make sure the places which matter most to the Coffs Coast can be considered for recognition with a Blue Plaque.” The Minister responsible for Heritage, the Hon. Don

Art and Science Converge THE White Bluff Project, a local artist-led science and community collaboration, is set to open its doors at Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery on 30 October 2021. White Bluff is a rocky headland on the north side of the regional city of Coffs Harbour - the southern headland of Sapphire Beach. The White Bluff Project stemmed from Ray Rixon, a local painter, and his 40-year creative association with the site. It has over time resulted in a group of artists coming together with scientists and community members to explore concepts of place, change and discovery. “This show is an exciting, thought-provoking array of creative works - a fusion of diverse disciplines, responses,

materials and techniques. “Developed through an immersive collaborative journey, the exhibited works are infused by the overwhelming generosity of a passionate, professional team of local creatives drawn from across the arts, science and history,” said Rixon. The Project's aim is to expose concerns about the transformative effects of climate and urbanisation while celebrating the beauty, fragility and unique discoveries to be found in our local landscapes. After four years of hard work, the collaborative and creative outcomes from this project can be experienced by the public in an exciting exhibition at the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery 30 October 2021- 15 January

2022. This exhibition will close out the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery's 20th year anniversary and open at a time when plenty of people, including visitors to the Coffs Harbour region, will be exploring our coastline. This exhibition presents a further opportunity to see and learn more about the unique, significant and overlooked site of White Bluff. “It’s exciting for us to finish our 20th year with a home grown exhibition. “The artworks are diverse and really highlight the unique ecology, history and beauty of the landscape at White Bluff,” said Lisa Knowlson, Acting Gallery, Museum & Public Art Coordinator. Participants in The White Bluff Project include painter and project lead Ray Rixon, Artists Sarah Mufford, Mark George, Megan George, Terri Butterworth, Tori Donnelly,

Joanne Elliott, John Van Der Kolk, Martin Van Veluwen, Jeremy Sheehan, Julie Nash, Ashleigh Frost, Chris Armstrong, Phil Greed and

Harwin MLC, Special Minister of State, said whether it’s places, buildings or people that have had an important impact, across NSW there are hidden gems with stories that deserve to be told. “Behind every plaque is a story. “We want everyone to be involved in making suggestions to their local MP or MLC so we can recognise the people and places in our history, including those that matter most to local communities,” Mr Harwin said. The Blue Plaques Program is part of a $5 million heritage engagement program funded by the NSW Government. Heritage NSW administers this program. Nomination forms are available at https://bit.ly/ HNSWBluePlaques. They should be emailed to Gurmesh Singh’s electorate office coffsharbour@ parliament.nsw.gov.au no later than Thursday, 28 October.

Look up and save a life By David TUNE

HOW often have you seen a dead bat (flying-fox) hanging on power lines, or caught in a barbed wire fence or fruit tree netting? Few people realise that there could be a live baby still with its deceased mother. From late September to late February, mother flying foxes carry their newborn pups with them, and if something happens to the mother the little ones face a slow death from starvation and dehydration. The Mid North Coast Branch of WIRES (Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service) is asking the public to please report flying-foxes in trouble to them as quickly as possible even if the mother bat seems

dead. Power lines are a particular hazard for bats, but quick thinking and reporting to WIRES can often save the pup. Essential Energy emergency personnel are called in to release the bat from the lines, and surviving pups are then taken into care by trained and appropriately vaccinated (against Lyssavirus etc) WIRES members. “We don’t really know how the pups survive their mother’s electrocution, but somehow they often do,” said local WIRES Bat Team member Jenny Beatson. “They can be saved if we are called in early enough to take them into care and handraise the pups until they are old enough for rehabilitation

and release back to the wild. “We’re very grateful to the Essential Energy teams, who respond as quickly as possible to release the bat from the lines.” There are several species of flying-fox in the area, including the threatened Grey-headed flying-fox, and the Mid North Coast Branch of WIRES has a team of dedicated volunteers who are specially trained to care for them. “The public can really help by calling us in as soon as they spot a bat on power lines or otherwise in trouble,” said Jenny. “That’s all you need to do, please don’t touch or handle the bat in any way. “Although very few bats carry Lyssavirus and it can only be contracted through

The BioBlitz citizen science event begins By Andrea FERRARI

THE Great Southern BioBlitz (GSB) is a citizen science event - 22 to 25 October 2021 - now in its second year throughout the Southern Hemisphere using the iNaturalist app and website. iNaturalist is an online social network of naturalists, citizen scientists and biologists, built on the concept of mapping and sharing observations of biodiversity across the globe – and everyone is invited to participate. A BioBlitz is a snapshot study of a specific location, where scientists and the

community work together to survey and record as many species as possible within a nominated timeframe, in this case 96 hours in your local time zone. These observations can then be used by local environmental groups, government departments, students, and other organisations to increase biodiversity awareness, protect habitat, determine species distribution, increase scientific literacy, climate change research, and inform policy. The local GSB organiser on the Coffs Coast is Nick Lambert, a schoolteacher

who has lived in Toormina for thirty-five years (all his life), the last four of which have been involved with iNaturalist and learning about our local environments. “Our local region for the purposes of the BioBlitz includes the Coffs and Bellingen LGAs,” Nick told News Of The Area. “As local organiser, my role is to encourage other locals to engage with their natural environments and take a closer look at what is around them, sometimes literally in their backyards. “The idea is to find, photograph and upload sightings of plants and wildlife from the local area within the timeframe. “This can be done using

the app on a phone (which automatically adds the time and place of the sighting), or you can use cameras and upload photos via the website. “The app/website has software in place that even makes suggestions about what you've seen when you upload, to help you make an initial ID. “Once uploaded, your sighting can be viewed by the iNat community, made up of amateur naturalists and experts alike, both local and international. “The community will help to identify what you have seen.” Questions and learning are encouraged.

Celebrating the diverse carer community By Andrea FERRARI

NATIONAL Carers Week, dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating carers in Australia, held a busy schedule of online events covering education and support and culminating with the pure enjoyment of a music performance with Matt Boylan-Smith on Friday 16 October. “Carers are doing it tough through COVID times,” Elena Katrakis, CEO of Carers NSW, told News Of The Area. “Our online events focused on health and wellbeing. “A precursor to Carers Week was our one-day online conference which focused on The Secret Life of Carers. “We looked at the diversity of carers, carers experience through COVID and the challenges experienced when carers balance informal care and paid employment.” The conference also showcased new and innovative initiatives in policy, programs and practice in meeting the needs of carers in NSW.

Delegates were provided an opportunity to connect virtually and share the latest research, information, and best practice in carer support in evolving and changing times. “On Wednesday 13 October, we saw the launch of the landing page to the Carer Knowledge Exchange.” The Exchange is a threeyear partnership between Carers NSW and the Institute for Public Policy and Governance at UTS. With funding from the NSW Department of Communities and Justice, the Exchange aims to connect research to practice in order to improve outcomes for carers. The digital platform is designed to be accessible and provides a searchable database containing carer research and other practicebased documents and guidelines. “It’s about translating research into practice and it will feature a digital platform; educational and networking events, and collaboration opportunities,” said Elena. “During the week we also

ran some funded in-person small local activities with more happening before the end of the year.” Carers in Coffs Harbour were invited to a Carer Gateway (support service) ‘coffee on us’ information morning at the Coffs Botanic Gardens. Other face-to-face-events were held in Moree, Grafton and Tamworth. “The team was giving out information on where carers can get support. “We gave away a goodie bag, resources and treats.” “Carers on the Central Coast and other locations in lockdown who registered for an event received a care pack.” There are over 2.65 million informal family and friend carers in Australia providing care and support to a loved one who has a disability, mental illness, alcohol or drug dependency, long term health condition or who is frail due to age.

Council to reapply for Coffs Cup public holiday for 2022 By Emma DARBIN

AN application will be made to hold the Coffs Harbour Gold Cup part day public holiday in 2022, despite calls by some Coffs Harbour councillors to change the public holiday to a Local Event Day. Council has applied for and been granted a public holiday for the annual Coffs Harbour Gold Cup since 1971. More recently Council has applied for a part day public holiday, which starts at 12 noon and finishes at 5:30pm. Coffs Harbour City councillors debated for more than an hour on whether to apply to hold the part day public holiday again in 2022 and 2023 at a Council meeting on Thursday 14 October. Cr Sally Townley moved a recommendation at the Council meeting to hold a Local Event Day instead of a gazetted public holiday, which would no longer mandate the closure of businesses or the payment of penalty rates on the day. “For four decades the Coffs Cup ran without the implications of people having to be paid penalty rates, without the disruption to schools,” Cr Townley said. “We’ve tried this (the public holiday) for ten years, it’s really messy, it impacts everyone, why don’t we try for the next two years the Local Event Day? “We’ve had ten years of paying people not to go to work because of the Coffs Cup, let's go back to how it was and let’s make it fair.” Cr Townley said under the Local Event Day there was “nothing to stop any employer freely choosing

to give their workers a holiday”, but that it didn’t mandate it. “It just lets everyone go about their business, go to the Cup if you want to go to the Cup,” Cr Townley stated. “It doesn’t have the implication of stopping schools; it won’t impact on small business. “Isn’t it time now to really have a look at it?” Cr Tegan Swan supported the holding of a Local Event Day which “still shows our support, still shows our tradition”. “I think a Local Event Day will actually suit the needs of those interested in attending (the Cup), while not impacting our community negatively in some pretty unreasonable ways,” Cr Swan stated. “Shouldn’t we do what ‘s right rather than disadvantaging so many people to benefit a few?” Cr Swan stated that the annual Coffs Cup Race Day had a negative economic impact on the local business community of around $36m collectively, compared to an estimated $1m economic benefit. “At what point is tradition for tradition’s sake actually outdated and not in the best interest of our community?” Cr Swan asked. “Local public holidays are supposed to significantly represent the interests of our community. “Is it significant, it is representative of our community, is it worth the impact to our business community who have already suffered enough, is that really what we think is in the best interest of our community?” Cr Paul Amos moved an amendment for Council

to provide a report on the possibility of holding a Community Festival at the Jetty Foreshores for families to attend on the afternoon of the public holiday, in conjunction with the Coffs Harbour Gold Cup Race Day. “It might turn into a really big event, something that could either rival or succeed the Coffs Harbour races,” Cr Amos stated. “If we don’t fulfill this opportunity for other people to participate in the afternoon off I don’t think we are doing our job as councillors.” Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight supported the possibility of holding a Community Event in conjunction with the Coffs Cup. “It will be interesting to receive a report into the possibility of funding a community half day festival at Jetty foreshores to be run on the same day as the Coffs Harbour Gold Cup,” Cr Knight said. Cr Swan, however, warned councillors to be cautious about looking to hold a new Community Event as it may possibly conflict with the holding of the Coffs Cup. “We are creating an event which is directly competing against their event, which is the reason they are asking for a public holiday in the first place,” Cr Swan stated. “If we’re offering a community event we may possibly be undermining them in a sense.” Cr Townley agreed and stated that while she loved the idea of Council funding a Community Festival at the Jetty Foreshores, she didn’t believe “joining these two events together actually

serves the purpose of either of them”. Scott Nolan spoke at the Council meeting on behalf of the Coffs Harbour Race Club Board and said the Club did not support or wish to seek Event Day status for the annual Coffs Cup Day. A majority of respondents to Council’s Have Your Say page on the contentious issue did not support the public holiday classification for the day. Following extensive

debate, councillors voted 5 votes to 2 for Council to apply to the State Government for the part day public holiday (12 noon to 5.30pm) on the first Thursday in August 2022 for the Coffs Harbour Gold Cup. Council will also receive a report into the possibility of funding a community half day festival at the Jetty Foreshores scheduled to run in conjunction with the proposed Coffs Harbour Cup Race day.

Existing market organisers and promoters may be canvassed to submit expressions of interest to promote a possible half day community event. Crs Keith Rhoades, Denise Knight, Paul Amos, George Cecato and Michael Adendorff voted for applying for the Coffs Cup part day public holiday in 2022 and the report on the possible community half day festival, and Crs Sally Townley and Tegan Swan voted against.

Clearing Confusion By Andrew VIVIAN

www.newsofthearea.com.au q Clearing at Lot 2 Sawtell Rd was halted by Council officers. Photo: supplied.

TOORMINA residents whose properties adjoin Lot 2 Sawtell Rd were alerted by machinery noise over their back fences last week. They were dismayed to find that a small, tracked machine was being used by a local contractor, in the central southern area of the almost nine hectare bushland block, to clear undergrowth, noticing that a significant area of native vegetation, saplings, grasses and sedges had been mulched. As previously reported in News Of The Area, Regional Architects, representing REDCC, has had an application to develop the ‘environmentally restrained’

block for a 57-lot housing subdivision and seniors’ village rejected by Coffs Harbour City Council. The site contains swamp sclerophyll forest of ecological significance and a koala corridor. The development application was rejected primarily because the applicant had not carried out an assessment of the ecological impact of the development, nor had proposed any offset. The rejection is currently under litigation. Residents contacted the Coffs Harbour City Council and compliance officers attended the site and operations were terminated by them.

It is unclear what led to the clearing, but one resident said that Council had previously been contacted about asking the owners of Lot 2 to clear along the boundary fences but, somehow, this had been construed as an invitation to clear environmentallysensitive paperbark swampland. It appears that more than a hectare might have been cleared, and not near the boundary fences. A Council spokesperson told News Of The Area that Council received a report from the community about some slashing work taking place at this location and, following a visit from the compliance team, works were stopped.

A representative of Regional Architects was contacted for comment but

Dragons Abreast cancer awareness at Harbourside Markets By Andrea FERRARI

MEMBERS of the Dragons Abreast Coffs Coast club are holding a Breast Cancer Awareness Month initiative this Sunday 24 October. They will have their bright pink marquee and majestic dragon boat at the Harbourside Markets and are keen to talk to breast cancer survivors about their club and the joys of dragon q

boating. “As well as helping survivors get back to a healthy life after treatment, our club also promotes breast cancer awareness here on the Coffs Coast,” Club Coordinator, Judi Trollope told News Of The Area. “October, being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is the time for us to reach out to the many survivors within our community and

encourage them to join us and enjoy the fun of dragon boating while they improve their fitness,” she said.

“The great thing about dragon boating is that anyone can do it.

“We welcome all breast cancer survivors and their

supporters no matter age, fitness level or gender. “The words ‘connect, move, live’ - used by the Dragons Abreast Australia network says it all – that’s what we do. “Our members at Dragons Abreast Coffs Coast invite you to stop by our marquee on Sunday and have a chat.

“Look for pink and the big dragon boat.”

The inspirational words ‘Doctors saved my life.

Friday, 22 October 2021

www.newsofthearea.com.au

Paddling saved my spirit’ from US paddler Kim Bonomo has become a mantra worldwide for dragon boaters. Dragon boating for breast cancer survivors became popular in Canada when Professor Dr Don McKenzie carried out extensive trials from 1996 proving that the upper body exercise provided by dragon boat paddling helped reduce the onset of lymphedema post breast cancer treatment and the sport encouraged fitness, confidence and camaraderie for survivors. Dragons Abreast

Australia has 28 registered member groups throughout the country with a club on the Coffs Coast paddling on the Bellinger River at Mylestom. Through the enjoyable sport of dragon boating Dragons Abreast Coffs Coast provides healthy, physical fitness for breast cancer survivors and their supporters to aid recovery post cancer treatment.

Free Eye Test for Preschoolers By Sandra MOON ARE you concerned about your preschooler’s vision? Even if you aren’t, right now is a perfect time to take advantage of a free eyesight clinic for children aged four years old. And with children exposed to screen time more than ever before, it makes sense to take advantage of the clinic and get any concerns or problems checked out. The Statewide Eyesight Preschooler Screening (StEPS) program is offering free vision checks for all fouryear-old children before they begin school. NSW Health advises all children to have their vision screened before they start school and strongly recommends that all four year old children participate in the vision screening program. The StEPS program model is unique in Australia and internationally and is one of the largest, most systematically implemented and evidence-based vision screening programs available. Mid North Coast Local

Health District’s StEPS Coordinator Wendy Mutton said early screening can help to address vision issues in children, transforming lives, boosting education achievements and enabling them to reach their full potential. “It is critical that this screening is provided to fouryear-old children before they start school to maximise eye treatment and educational outcomes,” Mrs Mutton said. “This year’s stay-at-home orders and online schooling may have increased the time children have spent on screens, potentially leading to short-sightedness (Myopia). “We recommend applying the 20/20/20 rule when children are using screens. “For every 20 minutes spent on a screen, look 20 metres away for 20 seconds. “Children playing in an outdoor setting in natural sunlight for 1-2 hours a day has also proven to reduce the risk of becoming shortsighted,” she said. StEPS nurses visit all preschools and long day care centres in MNCLHD

throughout the year, with all centres in the area to receive a visit by December. Free catch-up clinics for children who may have missed out on vision screening in 2021 are available in Coffs Harbour on 26 October, 25 November and 10 December. To make an appointment to attend a StEPS catch-up clinic, contact 6656 7061 or email MNCLHD-StEPS@ health.nsw.gov.au.

Sewage detections By Sandra MOON

FINGERS crossed that the Coffs Coast’s COVID casefree-run will continue as cases in Kempsey to the south continue to rise and now COVID fragments have been detected in sewage in our northern beaches. Not since the July scare of the Hoey Moey exposure site have we had such news.

COVID-19 fragments have been detected in the sewage of Woolgoolga in samples taken on October 15. The detection at Woolgoolga is of particular concern as there are no known cases in the area. The Woolgoolga Sewage Treatment Plan serves around 14,000 residents of Corindi Beach, Corindi, Arrawarra, Arrawarra

Headland, Mullaway, Woolgoolga, Safety Beach and Sandy Beach. There were also fragments detected in water tested in Port Macquarie, Wauchope and Dunbogan sewage treatment plants at the same time. Detection of virus fragments in sewage can help provide early warning of undetected infections in an area but can also be due

to shedding of the virus by someone who may have previously had the illness and may no longer be infectious. It can also be the result of a person with COVID-19 who may have visited the community and has since left the area. Anyone with even the mildest of coldlike symptoms is urged to immediately come forward for testing and isolate until a negative result is received.

Brelsford Park - we are building www.haveyoursay.coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au

Coffs Harbour City Council has successfully obtained $5 million to start delivering stages of the Brelsford Park Masterplan, through the Australian and NSW Government’s Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Program. A Masterplan for Brelsford Park was developed in consultation with the community and adopted in 2013, with the objectives of transforming the park into a lively and inclusive place where community well-being, culture and leisure come to life. Community comments are invited to help inform detailed design and planning of the civic entry, water play and community event space. A consultation report will be prepared for Council in early 2022. *Comments are invited from Friday 8 October 2021 to close of business Thursday 4 November 2021.

Mentors Donate to Pete's Place By Sandra MOON

MENTORS For Men have held their Annual General Meeting and presented Pete’s Place with a generous donation of $400. John Mandile, the Mentors for Men Coordinator, said Pete’s Place holds a spot

close to the group’s heart. He told News of The Area (NOTA), “We collaborate with the Neighbourhood Centre and Pete’s Place and we felt they are doing a great job supporting the homelessness. “We see a lot of homeless people and we like to support them.

“We also support former refugees with the food distribution program that runs out of the centre,” he said. Each year the group raises money from activities such as barbecues at Bunnings and after they cover insurance they donate to a charity.

The annual symposium kicks off one November 3 and offers over seventy speakers. This year the event will be available online for three months for guests to ‘attend’ when they can. CEO and Director of RDAMNC, Kerry Grace, announced the result after a board meeting last week with their sponsors including the National Recovery and Resilience Agency, MidCoast Council, Optus and Event Quality. “The RDAMNC board met and agreed it’s been a tough year for businesses in the Mid North Coast,” explained Kieren Dell, Chair of RDAMNC and CEO of Majestic Cinemas. “We decided to offer businesses an early Christmas gift of free tickets for Ignite MNC in 2021 for anyone who lives or works on the Mid North Coast of NSW, valued at $85 each.” Digitally located in Wingham, this event will have as many surprises as the heritage town itself, hosting keynote speakers and guest panellists representing business, community, and government across the Mid North Coast.

days, the symposium will be discussing housing, circular economy and business preparedness. Contributions from symposium participants will also help form the Mid North Coast regional plan which will be released in July 2022. “Ignite MNC 2021 was designed to be digital from the beginning and is definitely not going to be like other online events you have experienced,” said Ms Grace. “We know people have spent a lot of time on video calls this year, and we don’t want to add to anybody’s ‘Zoom fatigue’. “There will be a rich program with something for everyone, with over 70 guest speakers and a range of interactive activities to keep everyone engaged and interested, including speed networking, an exhibition hall, round table discussions, and q Community Development Worker Mr Paul even a generational Sefky, the town crier, rang his bell to celebrate debate between the free tickets.

Mr Mandile said they help men who need extra support; especially with mental wellbeing, breakups, job losses and retirement. “When men strike a hard time they usually isolate and their structure and support systems are usually around work or partners,” he told NOTA. John said the mentors are not counsellors but are companions who reach out a hand to someone going through a difficult time. He said the group is looking for more mentors of all ages over eighteen. “We are looking for more men to mentor who have a willingness to connect with other men and a willingness to contribute to the community. “Good qualities include being nonjudgmental, a good listener and the confidence to reach out to another man going through a difficult time. “They also have to be available for training and commit to personal development training.” Mentors are encouraged to attend weekly meetings when they can. On the flip side mentees can enjoy the benefit of having a one-to-one private and confidential contact with another man that has been matched to suit the mentee’s needs. The contact is often meeting for a coffee once a week and a few telephone calls to keep in touch. A mentee can be anywhere from eighteen to eighty years of age, will be given full respect, and listened to without judgement. Fancy participating? Contact John on 0419 258 023.

His wife Betty has also lent a hand, catering for hungry teams with curry chicken being one of her signature

Looking a lot like Christmas for seniors By Andrea FERRARI

THE Paying It Forward Seniors Christmas Gifting project has had its second packing day with more than two hundred gifts wrapped and tagged. The initiative is an idea brought to fruition by Coffs Harbour local, Margaret Schumacher. “In July Mrs Claus Coffs Coast (me) was talking to a man who cares for the

elderly in our community, and he mentioned that some of the elderly don't receive Christmas gifts,” Margaret told News Of The Area. “From that small conversation an idea grew… the Paying it Forward Seniors Christmas Gifting.” The first Facebook post asking for donations of new gifts for senior males and females received a very positive response.

CHH

“We received messages and phone calls asking what was needed. “Members offered to design and craft gift tags, gift wrapping paper was donated, labels for gifts were designed. “Another member offered to make Worry Worms and my husband made 200 Believe Bells. “Another member eagerly offered to make Christmas masks.”

Gifting galore getting ready for Christmas.

q L-r: Anne, Shirley, Linda, Cindy and Margaret (both standing), Sharon and Maryanne. Photo: Jasmine. Members donated wool and Christmas material. The gifts were purchased with love, said Margaret, “with thoughts of grandparents, parents and elderly friends that were no longer with us”. In just over six weeks the Schumacher’s spare room was overtaken by bags and boxes of gifts. A decision was made to commence packing early and close off the donation date earlier than anticipated. Round One Packing Day arrived.

“In three-and-a-half hours we wrapped, tagged and boxed 110 gifts. “These gifts were gratefully accepted by the Nambucca Pacifica Nursing Home.” Round Two Packing Day was set for Saturday 16 October. “Members eagerly offer to help pack and wrap. “Daily donations arrived with members passing each other on our driveway. “I sat and talked to people who were donating gifts in memory of their Mum or Dad.

“I listened to their memories. “A few tears were shed.” Once again Margaret hosted the packing session which brought members and family to her home laden with gifts of wrapping paper. “We wrapped 217 gifts. “We had fun and our hearts are happy,” said Margaret. These gifts will be donated to Coffs Harbour Home Care who will gift to their clients and be delivered by their staff.

Disability Driving School By Andrea FERRARI R&R CARE in Coffs Harbour is opening a driving school in 2022 for people with disabilities. “Learning to drive is a rite-of-passage for Australian teens but people with a disability often won’t get that chance until they’re well into their adult years due to a shortage of specialist services which can provide driving lessons for people with a disability,” R&R CARE CEO Daniela Shaw told News Of The Area. The Mid North Coast has limited availability of Occupational Therapists (OT) and Specialist Driving Instructors (SDI) who are able to facilitate driving lessons and modifications for people with a disability.

“Driving is something that allows freedom and autonomy to everyone, so for people with a disability it is a particularly important skill,” said Daniela. “In order for a person with a disability to gain their licence, they first need to have a specialist assessment with an Occupation Therapist, before having lessons with a specially qualified driving instructor; and they need to be in a modified car that allows the instructor to take control if needed, and accommodates their disability.” On 12 November, Hoys Physiotherapy and Car Finders are holding a Golf Day at Coffs Harbour Golf Club to kick off the fundraising for the driving school. All proceeds from the raffle and auction, held after

the golf event, will go to R&R Care disability driving project. R&R CEO Daniela Shaw said, “We are in a pretty unique position to create the school, because not only do we have a large group of participants who access our day program and community access support already, we also have a specialised Therapy team who will be able to deliver the services necessary for the driving school. “I can’t wait to see the faces of some of our existing participants when that car finally rolls in.” “We are so grateful to HOYS Physiotherapy and Car Finders for helping to get us on our way to see the school finally come to fruition. “It has been on our list

Indigenous Matriarch story widens audience By Andrea FERRARI ACCLAIM for her new film production of Matriarch, a play she wrote in 2018, sees Sandy Greenwood, a Gumbaynggirr custodian and award-winning actor, playwright, producer and emerging director, contemplating the next step for rolling out her powerful story.

Sandy is the founder and Creative Director of Jinda productions – a production company that produces stories from a female Indigenous experience. Set in Corindi and

Glenreagh, Matriarch tells the true and powerful story of Sandy’s great grandmother, nan, mum and herself. Sandy told News Of The Area, “It traverses the times where Aboriginal women in the Bowraville/Nambucca area weren't allowed to give birth in the hospital — when my grandmother had her children taken — when my mum was put in Cowper orphanage for nine years. “I tell the story of the massacre at Red Rock, The Gumbaynggirr dreaming story about the Women and the Sea when Gumbaynggirr kids in the 1950s would run free in the bush immersed in language and culture taught by our old people and nan’s generation who were getting all dolled up for the Aboriginal social dances around the Valley. "So, a lot of tragedy, a

lot of heartache, but a lot of beauty and strength as well because a lot of healing comes from being on Country and connecting to culture, language and family.

“I wanted to pay homage and testament to the strength, beauty and resilience of the beautiful women I am from. “My great grandmother was a cultural midwife who grew up at Corindi Creek with her extended family. “She lived traditional ways but also interacted with local non-Indigenous locals in order to survive. “It is also where she delivered some of her own grandchildren. “Many of my family members lived traditionally for many years right up to the 1970s.” As portrayed in the film Sandy’s gran and nan were living together at Glenreagh raising nan’s fourteen children when the authorities came one day and took them away. “After the children were taken, Great Gran lived out her final years on the Clarence River in Grafton.

SCHOOLoftheWEEK

After School Tuition and Activity Centre We Help Students Find Answers THAT’S what tutoring is all about; finding answers to the student’s questions, helping them to understand the work so that they can find the answers themselves. Tuition helps to reinforce the students’ ability to find answers, to give them guidance and to enable them to enquire confidently to find the answers when required. The more the student understands the more confident they become and the sooner they can work some things out by themselves. However, as there is more, and harder work, as they progress through school, it makes sense to keep that support going. If students are taken away from tuition too soon, it may impact on their future learning – just like taking the floaties off too soon when they are learning to swim. Having a tutor makes sense in a busy family too. Mum and Dad working and when they get home there are siblings to attend to and chores to be done, having a tutor makes sense so that students can find the answers they need when they need them.

Make Tutoring a Habit REGULAR tuition helps students make a habit of learning, getting the right advice, understanding more of their work, and attending to and completing assessment tasks on time, all helps to make positive habits. Putting into action habits that will take them into the future. Habits, that will service them for years to come. Habits, that will help them in university and in the career of their choice. Habits that will help them to succeed. Setting up a program and encouraging the student to make this a habit can take time. At first the student must feel that what they are doing is a benefit to them. They must feel a connection and relationship with the tutor. You may see a difference after one term but if you take them away at that point, they fail to make a habit of the regular and positive reinforcement of the tutoring. It just leaves them without support for the next step in their learning. Consider tuition more as a lifestyle; a part of their journey to future success; extremely good in a small select group of students as the dynamics of the group reinforce the positive impact of the tutoring for all the students

The Tutor THE tutor is a teacher, a mentor, and at times a facilitator who directs the learning of the group, enabling them to also help each other find the answers. Tutors come from a variety of backgrounds, they can be current teachers, retired teachers, teachers’ aids, they can have a degree and a Cert 4 in Training and Assessment. They may have worked in a related field for many years and they usually have a degree or diploma. Students connect with different tutors and form a positive relationship which helps the student want to do well as the student wants to please the tutor. If this relationship does not exist, it may make sense to change tutors or to rethink the program. The Education Centre has dedicated and caring tutors ready to help students to find the answers and to make learning a habit. Call Brooke on 0478413549/0266522222

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

By Manny WOOD

Confusion over IVF child’s entitlement BRIAN and Julie were married in the summer of 1969. They went on to have three children, Kathryn, Paul and Matilda. In 2008, Brian passed away and left his whole estate to his wife, Julie. Julie then moved in with her son, Paul and he and his family provided her with care. Kathryn married Nick and they tried for several years to have children before undertaking IVF. Julie was hopeful that the IVF program would provide her with more grandchildren. In recognition of Paul’s care and support, Julie updates her will to include a gift of $100,000 to Paul. She leaves the rest of her estate to all of her children equally and if any of those children died before her, there is a provision to the effect that that child’s share goes to their “children”. Unfortunately, in 2016 Kathryn is diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and sadly, passes away 6 months later. It was Kathryn’s wish for Nick to use their frozen embryos and a year later, Nick begins the process of finding a surrogate mother. Julie remains in close contact with Nick and is supportive of his decision. Unfortunately, Julie passes away shortly before Nick receives the news that the IVF process has been a success. Nick seeks legal advice regarding his child’s entitlement under Julie’s will and decides to seek a declaration from the Court that his child is entitled to Kathryn’s share. The Court decides that as Julie was aware that Kathryn and Nick had frozen embryos, Julie had the ability to make provision for those “unborn children” in her will, but because she did not do so, and there was no “period of gestation in the uterus” at the time of Julie’s death, Nick’s child was not entitled to a share of the estate.

DEAR Jasminda,

Conaghan’s contrary opinions on climate change DEAR News Of The Area, YOUR front page (Climate Questions, NOTA, p1 October 15 Edition) revealed Federal parliamentarian Pat Conaghan’s attitude to climate change. Ten out of ten for two contrary opinions Mr Conaghan. A summary! He does believe in climate change, but thinks we

shouldn’t do anything about it. This shows the mindset of a diehard sceptic. Action and remediation, can be denied by assuming a moral position. His argument? Action would affect the poor. The coal and gas lobbies shed tears for the wretched of the earth. It’s reflected in the election funds they give to political parties. Is Mr Conaghan aware of Coffs Harbour’s fate if

there’s inaction? The town barely sits above sea level. Over the last thirty years, to the surprise of long term locals, Coffs Harbour’s inundations have pointed to the future and the future is here. Shake up your response Mr Conaghan. Your electorate over the decades will be permanently wet and unliveable. Regards, Warren TINDALL. Bellingen.

Council Column: Introducing Yarrila Arts & Museum (YAM) WITH the building name Yarrila (YA-re-la) Place firmly decided and strongly supported from all corners of the community, Council at its meeting on 14 October has resolved the new combined gallery and museum space will be known as Yarrila Arts & Museum (YAM). Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery and Coffs Harbour Regional Museum titles were appropriate for two separate facilities however

it was important to consult with gallery and museum stakeholders to name the new combined facility that will be a key attraction for Yarrila Place. Naming of this important new Australian institution supports the promotion of the upcoming gallery and museum experiences that will include inspiring exhibitions and engaging programs for the Coffs Harbour community, visitors

and beyond. Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight said the horizon for our new community building and the institutions within are now in sight. “I commend the process we have been through, building upon the illuminating idea of Yarrila, to light up and now to reflect the combined offering of art and history. “We will be reading about national exhibitions at this new bright place, YAM at Yarrila Place. “It will be a place for creativity and to celebrate our history and cultural identity.”

Whereas most people are rushing to the hairdresser now they are open again, my husband says he has come to terms with his new, unkempt look and has accepted this as the way he should be. My problem is he is starting to look like Mick Taylor out of Wolf Creek and frankly it's giving me nightmares. Mrs Ivana M. Dear Ivana, YOUR name conjures up a very sophisticated woman with perfectly manicured nails, a stylish hairstyle and designer outfits, who married a sadistic and psychopathic lunatic (no, not Mick Taylor ... the other one). Having said that, as your namesake discovered, you aren't a good match for a man who looks more like a beast than a beau. I understand that we've all let ourselves go during lockdown, though for some of us who still had to attend Zoom meetings, we have managed to stay relatively tidy, at least from the waist up. Ironically, I have felt a certain freedom in being masked. Once you don a pair of sunglasses, you really could be anyone. It's been liberating to go to the shops without makeup, and gradually other standards have slipped. Recently I've taken to shaving my legs up to the edge of my three-quarter length activewear pants. What a timesaver! Alas, all good things must come to an end, and for most of us, it's time to smarten up a bit. It's great that your husband feels comfortable in his own skin, and though Confucius said that 'Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it', I'm not sure that quote extends to mutton chop sideburns, protruding nasal and ear hair and eyebrows that would make John Howard shudder. If your husband is willing to embrace his new look, perhaps you could give him a taste of what it's like and let everything go au naturale. I think he'll get the message soon enough, and you can stop having nightmares of being chased and garrotted by a madman. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Homicide at Coffs Harbour: If the Times Shoe Fits? (Part 4)

gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD ON their arrival at the site where the leg was discovered, Constable May, his assistants and Friske came across the leg lying on the ground with a sock on the foot. The constable asked Friske what it was and after his reply, “it looks like the foot of a man”, Constable May picked it

up for closer inspection, later remarking that it looked ‘fresh’. Finding it had been severed at the knee, leaving a portion of the thigh cap in the socket of the knee joint, the Constable showed Friske where it had been cut with an axe. Friske claimed no knowledge of it and the party returned to the Cricketers Arms hotel, Constable May bringing the leg with him. At the hotel the Constable produced a pair of boots he had taken from Friske’s selection, which Friske claimed belonged

to the missing man, Matt Matteson. He held the right-hand boot against the foot to compare the size, which seemed to fit, then took out a foot rule and from heel to toe measured the foot to be 9 ¼ inches. He put the leg away and sent for shoemaker and farmer, Robert Woods, who made the boots for Matteson and confirmed their fit on the foot. On the 8 August 1885, three days from Constable May’s arrival and the start of investigations into the disappearance of Matts Matteson, a Coroner’s Inquiry

was held on the leg at the Cricketers Arms Hotel, with coroner and police magistrate, Mr T C McKell travelling from Boat Harbour (Bellingen). Ten witnesses were examined, including Robert Woods who again confirmed he made the boots for the deceased and the fit of the boots on the remains. The jury found a verdict of willful murder against Matthew Friske and he was committed on the Coroner’s Warrant to take his trial at the next Circuit Court, held at Grafton in October. After the inquest, Constable May buried the leg in the bush at Coffs Harbour.

Councillor’s block of land raises questions DEAR News Of The Area,

THE revelation that Cr Sally Townley is the owner of a very small block of land in the Coffs LGA, gives rise to some grave questions. How did she manage to get such a bargain?

Did she buy in a private sale, or through an agent? If I buy the adjoining block, does she have to go halves in the cost of erecting a joint boundary fence? Does Cr Townley maintain the block herself, or employ someone to mow

it for her? What height restrictions apply to any proposed building on the site? Would such a building have to comply with the rule that an owner may not build closer than a metre to the boundary fence?

If the land were to be used for agriculture, would Cr Townley, as a former Greens candidate, be more likely to plant a native forest, or a stand of radiata pine, to be harvested at a profit, later on? With the easing of Covid

Huge Parking Problems DEAR News Of The Area,

SHOULD you wish to visit either the Library or the Art Gallery at the 10am opening times. It is totally impossible to park your car as all

available parking spaces are taken and not by the users of those facilities. After trying to visit several days in a row I found a parking space far from the Library. I was one of two people

lining up to enter the library at 10am. Where are the owners and drivers of those cars? Surely this suggests that this area is being used by long term car parkers as there is nowhere else

to go. The suggestion that we require more visitors to the CBD is so ludicrous parking is at a premium now and the frustrations experienced is hardly conducive to a happy

restrictions, how many people would the councillor be allowed to host on the site? I’d especially like to know why she chose to buy this piece of land, and why the seller chose to sell it. I don’t know much about

real estate, but I doubt that there’d be any long term financial gain, so I find Cr Townley’s motivation vexing.

Library or Art Gallery visit. Surely as citizens we deserve better than this it appears our concerns about parking are being totally overlooked. How can the new location in an already congested location be any better! Saturday is the only day

when one can reasonably get a park. The only conclusion is that Library and Art Gallery users are neither required nor respected.

Submarines unnecessary for Australia DEAR News Of The Area,

AUSTRALIA has no need for submarines, let alone nuclear powered

submarines, with attendant possible radiation hazard, because Australia covers such a vast area on this globe that

airfields on North, South, East and West coasts would allow access to practically all areas of this world, with the possible exception of the

British Isles and the Eastern Atlantic ocean, which could be covered by agreement with the UK Government.

This would save billions of pounds, which nuclear powered submarines (relatively slow moving) would be likely to cost, and

REVIEW

q The cast of CHATS ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ in costume on set. Photo: supplied.

By David TUNE

OSCAR Wilde was born on October 16, 1854 and became one of the best known and loved English playwrights of the late nineteenth century. Coffs Harbour Amateur Theatrical Society (CHATS) premiered their production of Wilde’s last and possibly most famous play, ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’, last Friday 15 October at the Jetty memorial Theatre. Widely regarded as one of the funniest comedies of the era, CHATS have put together a skilled cast and crew who deliver a delightful rendition of this timeless classic. The opening night audience reacted to the play with plenty of laughter,

Friday, 22 October 2021

enjoying the frothy drawing room dialogue and trenchant wit. Local writer, performer and comedian Kelly McLoughlin said, “The fact that, more than a century later, an audience can be captivated by a story with no action and no violence is testament to the power of Wilde’s words. “At the same time, it is the reason why Earnest can never truly be modernised.” Fabulous performances from Emma Hindmarsh (Cecily), Fiona Stiles (Gwendolen), Jenny Touzel (Lady Bracknell), Virginia Craze (Miss Prism), Marcus Nevin (Algernon) and Marty Elliott (Jack) capture the language of the day perfectly

and deliver nuance and humour throughout. The principal actors are ably supported by Mark Fifield as both Lane the Butler and Dr Chasuble and Allan Green (Merriman) who provides live music from the theatre’s baby grand piano in the wings. Director Rex Madigan said, “It is so pleasing to see the audience loving our show, especially given the challenges we have faced in getting it on stage due to lockdowns and restrictions. “I hope Coffs Harbour people take some time to come and have a laugh with us here at the Jetty Memorial Theatre.” The show has four more performances on tonight

(Friday 22/10), tomorrow at 2pm and 8pm, and the final show on Sunday at 2pm. More information and

DOLITTLE

NBN, 8.30pm

There’s no shortage of moving parts in this faithful, family-friendly adaptation of Hugh Lofting’s classic Doctor Dolittle stories. Taking place in 19th-century England, it’s all about Welsh veterinarian Dr John Dolittle (Robert Downey Jr, pictured), who lives in solitude after the death of his wife Lily. John’s only companionship comes from a menagerie of exotic animals that he speaks to on a daily basis. It’s an all-star adventure that features the voice of Emma Thompson as Poly the macaw, Dolittle’s most trusted advisor.

Putting yourself out there to find love is hard work, but even with cameras following her every move, bachelorette Brooke Blurton (pictured) is not to be dissuaded. This seventh season of The Bachelorette Australia is her third appearance in the franchise and she’s hoping for better luck this time around. This season marks two milestones for the franchise as Brooke is the first Indigenous contestant and also the first bisexual Bachelorette searching for love among a group of eligible male and female suitors. In a recent interview she declared she has in fact found true love on the show. The question is, who will it be? Hosted by Osher Günsberg.

RED ELECTION

SBS, 8.30pm

What is it about spy stories that keep us so captivated? Is it the secret codenames? The double agents? The international espionage? In whatever guise they come, we are number one fans and this new series, premiering tonight with a double-episode, might just get a spot at the top of our favourite’s list. Senior MI5 agent Beatrice Ogilvy (Lydia Leonard, pictured) witnesses a chemical attack on her Russian informant just before he was to tell her about an imminent terror attack on British soil. Her only clue? A codename: Redback, and its connection to a Danish ﬁrm building a nuclear power station. 2210

TacMed Business Winners By Sandra MOON

COFFS Harbour based business TacMed Australia have won the top gong at the 2021 Mid North Coast Business Awards, being named Business of the Year. The business entered in the Excellence in Innovation Award for their work developing potentially a life saving virtual reality medical simulation and training software called EmergiSim, developed in partnership with medical equipment and training business Spectre Studios. The software is a training tool for first responders. Using an off-the-shelf Virtual Reality headset, users are transported into

worlds where they have to respond to seemingly real life scenarios and one or more casualties. Learners can practice the application of medical triage, interventions and treatment in a safe and managed environment. According to a company spokesperson the technology makes emergency medical training portable, repeatable, scalable and much more cost effective than any alternative. TacMed Australia’s General Manager Matthew Charles was elated, yet humbled by the honor. “This is the first time we have entered business awards and being named Business of the Year is a testament to the hard working staff

who are motivated by their genuine passion to see zero preventable deaths at the point of injury,” Mr Charles said. The award caps off a huge week for the local business, who just one day prior had their Business Development Manager Ben Davoren named by the Prime Minister as Australia’s Veteran Employee of the Year. The Mid North Coast Business of the Year announcement was made at a virtual awards ceremony, attended by 130 local business leaders. Business NSW Regional Manager Kellon Beard says there were 110 applications for 13 different categories, with 88 finalists.

Mr Conaghan said the

program will bring more original live Australian music to communities across the country – and more specifically, across the Mid North Coast. “This funding will help the live music sector to re-emerge as Australians continue to get vaccinated and COVID-19 restrictions ease, allowing venues

to begin to reopen and rebuild,” Mr Conaghan said. “It is important that our live music sector will be primed to host performances and gigs when permitted to do so, and by supporting these local venues now, we are increasing opportunities to see Australian artists get back on stage.”

“I’m pleased to announce that two impressive local businesses have received a total of $59,470 through round three of the Live Music Australia Program,” Mr Conaghan said. “The first is John Logan Entertainment who received $8,431 to go towards the purchase of an upgraded PA system to encourage more opportunities for live music across 10 regional venues in NSW. “The second is Bucket Brewery who received $51,039 for the construction of an outdoor stage and

Applications for round four of the program will

open later this year, with funding to support venues from mid-2022 as they continue to re-establish regular programming of original live Australian music. The Coalition Government is investing more than $1 billion into the arts and creative sector in 2021-22.

TAFE’s Unboxed exhibition of creative works By Andrea FERRARI

THE ‘Unboxed’ exhibition by final year TAFE students opens on 1 November at the Culture Hub, Coffs Central Shopping Centre, Harbour Dr, Coffs Harbour. The exhibition features the work of students from Visual Arts, Photography and Furniture Design courses and will be on display until 18 November. Producing creative work during pandemic lockdowns, fires and floods provided challenges and some unexpected opportunities for the students who are now keen to share their work with the broader community.

“We really did have to think outside the box at times,” said Visual Arts student Jaine Rubine. “Many of us, across all the disciplines, had to change direction and find new ways to be creative with limited resources as we continued to develop our body of work. “This opened up possibilities we would never have considered. “For instance, because I was unable to use the printing press at the TAFE campus during lockdown, the next best thing at my place was an old garden roller. “Unconventional, but it did the job.” Janet Besançon, a Visual

With the theme of Tuning In, Mental Health Awareness Month organisers, Way Ahead, say, “Being present by tuning in has been shown to help build self-awareness, help make effective choices, reduce the impact of worry, and build positive connections.” “Giving joy to others or volunteering often gives joy to the giver as much as the receiver,” Di Woods, Manager Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre told News Of The Area. “To share the joy of paying it forward and spreading joy to others, Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre, across mental health month,

“There’s a work by one student who went out into the bush and was completely disconnected from everything. “It's an enormous painting; looking at it you feel like you’re going into something mystic, it acknowledges Aboriginal land and the fragility of our planet. “There’s work in relief and a recycled wood sculpture… very varied works. “We have shown a respect for the planet, bringing awareness through such things as natural materials and for me, making my own

NSW reaches 80% double dose vaccination rate WITH 80 percent of NSW’s eligible population now fully vaccinated against Covid-19, new Reopening NSW Roadmap’s 80 per cent settings came into effect on Monday for those who are fully vaccinated. Community sport can resume, more friends and family will be reunited, and there will no longer be a cap on guests at weddings and funerals. Masks will also no longer be required in offices, and drinking while standing and dancing will be permitted indoors and outdoors at hospitality venues. From 1 November bookings for hospitality venues will no longer be capped. Also from 1 November, the NSW Government will remove quarantine requirements and caps for overseas arrivals who the Commonwealth Government recognises as fully vaccinated with a TGA-

approved vaccine, helping Australians stranded abroad get home before the end of the year. Further advice about testing requirements for arrivals will be provided in the coming days. Fully vaccinated travellers already in quarantine will also complete their quarantine requirements on November 1, even if it is less than 14days. Overseas arrivals who are not fully vaccinated will be capped at 210 people per week, and will be required to undergo mandatory 14days hotel quarantine. Travel between Greater Sydney (including the Blue Mountains, Wollongong, Shellharbour and the Central Coast) and Regional NSW will also be permitted from 1 November, to allow people in the regions more time to receive their second vaccine. To support regional

businesses likely to be impacted by this change the NSW Government will defer the second taper of the JobSaver program until October 31. Eligible regional businesses will receive 30 percent of weekly payroll, before tapering payments to the scheduled 15 percent from November 1. Premier Dominic Perrottet said the easing of restrictions and return of overseas travellers would help reunite families and be a significant boost for the economy. “We have reached this vaccination milestone quicker than anyone thought we could, and that is a testament to the hard work of people across the State turning out to get vaccinated,” Mr Perrottet said. “Welcoming back fully vaccinated travellers will not only mean families and friends can be home in time

for Christmas, it will also give our economy a major boost.” Deputy Premier Paul Toole said the tough decision had been made to delay travel between Regional NSW and Greater Sydney, with the NSW Government extending the JobSaver program for regional businesses. By 1 November, it’s expected more than 77 percent of regional LGAs will be fully vaccinated. “Everyone has done a brilliant job of getting vaccinated and rates are rising fast; however we have looked at the health modelling and listened to feedback from regional communities who want more time to get their double dose vaccination rates up as high as possible before they welcome back visitors,” Mr Toole said. “We know businesses in regional NSW were getting ready to welcome people

www.newsofthearea.com.au back, but it’s important we get this right so that we can have greater confidence the vaccines will do their job – and that when we re-open travel to the regions, they can remain open and that businesses have continued support in the meantime. We thank people for their patience.” Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres welcomed the 80 per cent reopening and recognised it as an important step on the road to recovery. “We are opening up locally and we are opening up to the world. “Now is a time for people to come together in a safe way whether it be returning home from overseas or enjoying your favourite local venue,” Mr Ayres said. All premises continue to operate at one person per 4sqm indoors and one person per 2sqm outdoors. Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the NSW community had done an extraordinary job to reach the 80 percent double dose vaccination target and was leading Australia out of the pandemic. “The people of NSW

have pulled together to achieve this fantastic outcome and bring us closer to life as we knew it before the pandemic, but we’re not there yet,” Mr Hazzard said. “We can’t forget that COVID is still circulating amongst us in NSW and we need to keep getting vaccinated to push the double dose rates even higher. “We want to get as close to 100 per cent double vaccination as possible to keep everyone safe.” NSW residents will still need to comply with COVIDSafe check-ins and provide proof of vaccination to staff in most settings. More restrictions will be relaxed on 1 December, as previously announced in the Reopening NSW Roadmap. To find out how to download a copy of your vaccination certificate visit Services Australia website. If you are not booked in for a COVID-19 vaccine, please book an appointment as soon as possible.

Sustainability Win for Costa By Sandra MOON

IN a win for the berry industry, Costa’s Berry farm in Corindi has won the 2021 Excellence in Sustainability Award in the Mid North Coast NSW Business Awards. The awards recognise growth, entrepreneurship and celebrate business success from Woolgoolga in the north to Forster Tuncurry in the south. The Excellence in Sustainability Award recognises a business that has demonstrated its commitment to sustainable business practices and is working to reduce the impact of its operations on the environment. Rob King, Costa’s Regional Manager for Corindi, welcomed the

recognition for work across the farm, particularly in the areas of biodiversity, reducing water use and reducing waste. “We have a highly committed team who have put in place a range of initiatives across our farm,” Mr King said. “That has included everything from using beneficial insects to reduce chemical use, to state-of-theart weigh scale sensors to reduce water and fertiliser use,” Mr King added. The farm has also worked towards reducing its waste. The majority of the farm’s agricultural plastics, including tunnel plastic, have been recycled through local firm Coffs Paper and Oil and turned into different products including park

seats and building films and bollards. Mr King said all scrap metal was collected and recycled through local businesses and more than 90 percent of the cardboard and paper waste from packaging is recycled. “Our sustainability projects are led by a Sustainability Team, a group of passionate staff members who meet monthly to identify and implement projects to address sustainability in key issues. “This has led to a range of on-site activities including a tree planting program to enhance biodiversity on the farm,” he said. The Corindi farm has also been actively working with PolyGro (an agricultural product provider) to scope the establishment of Horticycle, a pilot plastic stewardship program in the North Coast region.

ARTISTS are invited to submit proposals to create a signature public artwork for the new Yarrila Place building (formerly known as the Cultural and Civic Space) in Coffs Harbour.

Artists’ submissions will be evaluated in early November 2021 with a view to notifying a shortlist of three artists shortly afterwards. Shortlisted artists will be paid a fee to develop concept designs for a final artist

selection in January 2022. Artists will be selected based on their existing professional practice and their ability to complete the commission within the available timeframe and budget. The signature public artwork project is being managed by Independent Arts Management alongside the Cultural and Civic Space Project Team. Independent Arts Management has a strong track record in working strategically with artists, developers, designers and local government to activate spaces with high quality artistic outcomes. The Expression of Interest document and brief is available on Council’s Have Your Say page. This details all the evaluation criteria and further background to assist artists with proposals. The EOI is now open and closes Monday 1 November 2021. All queries and responses to the signature artwork project should be sent to eoi@ iamprojects.com.au.

homelessness. “However, the announcement is very light on detail. “How much of the $50 million will be spent in Coffs Harbour and how many additional homes will this provide?” Mr Judge asked. “Does this build on the already announced Argyll Estate program, or is this a re-announcement of that program?” “On the surface it is a positive step, but we need more detail,” Mr Judge said.

Coffs Coast clubs can apply for latest round of sport grants By Aiden BURGESS

COVID-19 and the subsequent restrictions on community sport has meant a number of the region’s sporting clubs are doing it tough. But help can be provided for these local sporting clubs thanks to a grant program initiated by the NSW Government. Initiatives which focus on increasing participation in sport through events,

development programs and facilities are the focus of the latest round of the NSW Government’s Local Sport Grants Program. Coffs Coast sporting groups can apply for grants to help remove barriers to participation, purchase equipment and improve facilities, under the NSW Government’s $4.6 million Local Sport Grants Program. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the funding opportunities will

provide a welcome lift to our local sporting organisations. “I know how important sport is to people right across the Coffs Coast, especially as the state emerges from lockdown,” he said. “These grants will help local clubs increase participation by addressing barriers, delivering sports development programs and upgrading equipment and facilities.” Minister for Sport Natalie Ward said more than $4.6

million was available to local sporting clubs to make their ideas to boost participation a reality as COVID restrictions ease. “We know sport has great health, social and economic advantages and we’re looking to strengthen our local sporting communities as we plan for the future,” she said. “Sport goes far beyond the physical benefits; it boosts social networks and can also help develop skills and create jobs. “This funding will support projects at grassroots sporting clubs which

New Rugby Sevens series to kick off in November By Aiden BURGESS

A NEW North Coast Rugby Sevens series is set to kick off to coincide with the return of community sport next month. The North Coast Sevens Series will feature eight teams in a three-round series between the best of the Mid North Coast zone and Far North Coast zone, getting underway in early November. After having their finals series and season cut short due to COVID-19 restrictions, SCU Marlins captain AJ Gilbert said his players were keen for a return to the field. “The guys and girls are really itching to get back out

and play some rugby, even if it's just to train and see each other again,” he said. Gilbert also touched on the fact that the Sevens tournament would give local clubs a chance to play against clubs they wouldn’t normally meet. “Someone like Lennox Head with (former Wallaby) Berrick Barnes and I know there are a lot of players there that are keen to get in front of him and have a chat and play against his players,” he said. Gilbert explained that some teams were better suited to the faster format of Rugby Sevens.

“You look at a team like the Kempsey Cannonballs and they have a lot of x-factor, a lot of speed, score a lot of tries, but sometimes they can't put up with the muscle of say a Hastings Valley Vikings,” he said. The Coffs Harbour Snappers women are one of the sides taking part in the new Rugby Sevens series. Snappers captain Greta Smith was looking forward to continuing a great year for her side who finished as undefeated minor premiers. “The girls are super excited especially because this season we made the grand final and then didn’t

are driving participation opportunities, so that more people in NSW can enjoy the benefits of being involved in sport.” Mrs Ward said the grants will help to support the health, social and economic wellbeing of communities. “Sport brings communities together and goes far beyond the physical benefits – it strengthens social networks and can be a vehicle for skills development and job creation,” she said. “As we return to community sport, this funding will support projects

There are 4-Ball, Ambrose and Single Stableford comps being held through the week.

State titles up for grabs By Aiden BURGESS STATE titles will be on the line next month as the Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club hosts the Rotax NSW State Championship. The club will host three days of high octane racing on 12-14 November, as part of the latest round of the Rotax Pro Tour. 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 2021 Rotax Pro Tour is held over four rounds in Coffs Harbour, Warwick, Geelong, and Canberra. Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club president James Morrison described the unique nature of the event. “It’s a unique event because it's specifically for drivers with Rotax engines,” he said. “And we will run race classes you normally don’t see.” Morrison explained the economic benefits of hosting the Rotax NSW State

he said. “After two years of COVID and people being unable to travel to Coffs Harbour for the event, it bodes well for next year. “Having said that, this year’s Festival is being well supported by our fantastic club members and surrounding clubs. “This year’s Festival of Golf is definitely not a non-event.” Another positive is the course will once again be in peak condition as it is at this time every year for Championship. “This event should bring over 120 drivers and 500 people to the area and it brings a lot of money,” he said. “Some people are going to stay for the week before the event which will bring money to the area which is badly needed by some businesses.” The Rotax NSW State Championship event in Coffs Harbour will crown seven state champions in a number of classes including Micro Max, Mini Max, Junior Max, Rotax 125 Light, Rotax 125 Heavy, DD2 & DD2 Masters, and Rotax Restricted. Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club final event of the year is the 4 Track Challenge scheduled for Saturday, 20 November.

players participating in the Festival to enjoy. Allan said the rain last week provided a blessing. “There’s been a dry spell and we’ve been lucky with the club’s irrigation system and sensational greens staff to have the course in good condition but there’s nothing like natural rain and the nutrients in the rain will make the course really jump for this event and coming into summer,” he said.

Corindi Beach cricketer plays first WBBL innings By Aiden BURGESS

q Corindi Beach cricketer Anika Learoyd played her first innings for the Sydney Thunder.

ANIKA Learoyd has made an instant impact in her first time batting for the Sydney Thunder in the new Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) season. The former Corindi Beach resident scored 23 runs in the Thunder’s loss to the Adelaide Strikers in her side's first game of the WBBL07 season. The 19-year-old grew up in Corindi Beach during which time she spent her teenage years playing grade cricket on the weekends in Newcastle and Sydney. Learoyd made her debut for the Sydney Thunder in October last year, but didn’t take to the field as the match was abandoned after the toss. Her second time featured in the Thunder starting XI also resulted in a washout. Her appearance last weekend in Hobart was her third match for the Thunder. Learoyd’s talents were noticed by the Thunder after an outstanding season playing for the Northern Districts Cricket Club in

Sydney, in which she scored 541 runs at an average of 54.1 playing in the NSW Women’s Premier Cricket competition. This stellar season saw her sign a two-year contract with the Thunder. A former North Coast Cricket Council Academy junior player, the top-order

Former Sawtell Panthers junior to play in S.G Ball Cup

q Malakhi Donovan has been selected into one of the Wests Tigers junior representative teams for the 2022 season.

By Aiden BURGESS

FORMER Sawtell Panthers junior Malakhi Donovan will play in one of Australia's best junior rugby league competitions in 2022. Donovan has been selected in the Balmain Tigers squad to take part in the S.G Ball Cup in 2022. The S.G Ball Cup is an under 19s competition which has delivered much of Australia’s best emerging talent into the top grade of rugby league. Donovan will be part of a Balmain Tigers under 19s team who are part of the Wests Tigers junior representative squads. This will be the second

year in row that he has played in the S.G Ball Cup after making his debut in 2021. Donovan’s talents were noticed by the Tigers after having a big 2019 representative season. He played for the NSW Country under 16s side which toured England, and also played a curtain raiser match against NSW City before an NRL game in Sydney. The 18-year-old played his junior rugby league for the Sawtell Panthers and also represented the North Coast Bulldogs in the Andrew Johns Cup. Recalling his time coaching the talented junior while at the Sawtell Panthers, Tyran Stevenson described

Donovan as not only a great player but a great person as well. “Mal was an absolute pleasure to coach, he’s a naturally gifted footy player but Mal was always wanting to listen and learn more even with how good he is, and his ability to compete at such a high level every week has helped him mould into the player he is today,” he said. “There are plenty of talented kids out there but not all of them are willing to work as hard as what Mal does and that’s what can be the difference sometimes. “The best thing about Mal is that he is a great young man that would help anyone out on and off the field.”

Fatigue and, perhaps, a 30 year age gap, began to play a part and Darcy eventually closed out a well deserved victory with 6-3 in the second set. The C Grade semi finals were next, with Rachel Raven up against Justin Brow on Court One. This was an excellent match with great rallies, but Justin clinched the crucial points to end up triumphing 6-1. Over on Court 3 the undefeated Sam Horton and Bekk Glyde duked it out in an absorbing tussle. Scores were kept level until the very end in a long encounter of tight rallies that Bekk eventually edged 7-5 to progress.

Both players did well to return serves and mix powerful groundstrokes with finessed drop shots, however Darcy’s consistency with an extreme grip topspin forehand proved the difference in the 6-1, 6-1 score line. Congratulations to Darcy Cronin for being the well deserved 2021 Bellingen Club Champion. NTP: K. Saye Balls: L.Bastick, L.Milham, D.Lindsay, K.Saye, F.Jones, M.Bishop Special thanks to Frank and Audrey Smith who have been sponsors of this event for the past ten years. It is always a well contested competition because we all know how generous Frank and Audrey are with their trophies.

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately? Ever Heard Of A Sacrificial Anode? A sacrificial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efficiently working system and a costly replacement. Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion. After its 5th birthday – warranty expires. THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE – Solar, Electric, Gas or Heat Pumps. FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in your area free of charge.
