FROM Page 1 spoke about the importance of film in his life and said that he hoped that Coffs Harbour would end up with a film studio. The audience enthusiastically clapped for promotions for the Coffs Coast and Bellingen which showcased, not only the natural beauty and other attractions of the area, but also the creative talent that crafted the promos. The stand out was the world premiere of the original short animated film, ‘iCleen 2.0’, which was written, directed, and animated by Matt Dean from ‘Fresh Squeezed Creative’. Shorts for upcoming films ‘Jumbo’, ‘My Name Is Gulpilil’, ‘First Cow’ and ‘Mogul Mowgli’ (to be shown at the Closing Night Gala) were also applauded. Before the film for the evening, ‘The Furnace’, was shown, its director, Roderick Mackay, and producer, Tim White spoke about their creation. ‘The Furnace’ was the only Australian film in the Venice Film Festival and is a tale that uses a gold robbery to showcase the outback of Western Australia and relationships between Afghan camel drivers and Indigenous Australians, as well as

other diverse cultures that inhabited the region at the end of the nineteenth century. Mr Mackay told the audience, “Sitting next to Jack Thompson while he watches my debut feature film is definitely on my bucket list.” SWIFF Co-Director, Kate Howat, told the audience that they should consider viewing all of the films on show at the festival. She said that film lovers should “Love them, hate them, rate them” and use the SWIFF app to vote for their

Climate Group Asks For Answers By Andrew VIVIAN
COFFS Coast Climate Action Group members visited the office of the Federal Member for Cowper, Pat Conaghan, last Friday. The brightly-dressed group wished to ask Mr Conaghan why he was yet to fulfill his promise to reply to a letter signed by around 80 local businesses, community groups, churches and health professionals. The open letter, which made front page news in December, outlined a positive vision for building Coffs’ future with jobs in renewable energy and other low emissions industries. The signatories proposed the creation of secure, substantial jobs in climate-positive industries, the building of community resilience to future crises, investment in social security and public services so that no one is left behind, support for First Nations justice and self-determination and the charting of a course toward zero emissions. “We’re dressed in yellow
to symbolise the brighter future which is possible if we rebuild our economy with climate-friendly industries,” explained Liisa Rusanen, spokesperson for the Coffs Coast Climate Action Group. “Research shows we could create over one million secure, decent jobs in industries like renewable energy, land regeneration and building social housing, addressing climate change and looking after our community at the same time.” Mr Conaghan had met previously with some of the letter signatories, but, despite the group sending several letters to him, and Mr Conaghan having made a commitment to provide a detailed, written response by March 8, no reply has been forthcoming. “When Mr Conaghan ran for election, he said his focus would be on job creation, but now that his constituents have presented him with a positive vision for clean jobs, he has not even bothered to reply,” said Ms Rusanen. “In fact, Mr Conaghan is backing the Government’s push to hand taxpayers’ dollars to the gas industry, which actually would create

Photo: supplied by the Coffs Coast Climate Action Group. the least amount of jobs, compared to investment in almost any other industry,” she said. “Gas is a dirty fossil fuel, which makes climate extremes worse, like floods, drought and fires.”
“As the globe shifts towards renewables and zero emissions, energy and finance experts are also talking about the economic risks of relying on gas,” Ms Rusanen said. “We’ll keep reminding
Mr Conaghan for as long as is necessary, until he joins the call to build a brighter, renewable-powered future.” A spokesperson for Mr Conaghan said that he supports sensible investment into renewables

ABC Apology and Settlement
Ms Price was in Coffs Harbour and scheduled to speak at the Jetty Theatre in September 2019. At that time the Coffs Harbour and District Local Aboriginal Land Council issued a media release which was later retracted however was used by the ABC to report on the event the following morning. Ms Price began defamation proceedings and lodged documents with the federal court claiming the land council and the ABC had falsely accused her of vilifying Aboriginal people and their culture.
By Sandra MOON THE ABC issued an on air apology last week as the public broadcaster settled out of court in a defamation case brought by Alice Springs Deputy Mayor Jacinta Nampi jinpa Price, a Warlpiri/Celtic woman. The defamation suit was raised by Councillor Price after news segments aired on ABC Coffs Coast and ABC Alice Springs in September 2019 covering her Mind The Gap speaking tour.
At the time ABC’s Media Watch reported a statement by the ABC saying it was remiss in not offering Ms Price the opportunity to respond personally to the local criticisms. The on-air apology from Coffs Harbour’s ABC Breakfast Announcer Fi Poole was read out last Thursday. “On the 11th September 2019 ABC Coffs Coast and ABC Alice Springs broadcast radio segments about Jacinta Nampijinpa Price’s speaking tour and local reactions to it in Coffs Harbour including a media release put out by the Coffs Harbour and District Local Aboriginal Land Council.
“The ABC understands that the land council has withdrawn and apologised to Ms Price for statements contained in that media release which it accepts were false and defamatory and which caused hurt and distress to Ms Price and her family. “The ABC did not endorse the opinions contained in the media release and apologises to Ms Price and her family for the hurt and distress caused by broadcasting those views,” Ms Poole said. The ABC has agreed on an out of court settlement with Ms Price on confidential terms.
Keep Up To Date With Coffs Harbour Bypass Project q Federal Member for Cowper, Pat Conaghan, State Member for Coffs Harbour, Gurmesh Singh and NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Paul Toole.
KEEPING up to date with the latest information about the bypass project is important for the Coffs Harbour community which is being encouraged to sign up to receive regular email newsletters. Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said, “This is an exciting project not only for those who live in and around Coffs Harbour, but for anyone who travels through the area whether that be heavy vehicle movements, for business and industry, or those enjoying our beautiful region for leisure.” State Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the project team is also updating the community about some of the 30 local businesses that have already started work to help build the bypass.
Interest process for major construction of the Coffs Harbour bypass is expected to be called for this year. Sign up for the community newsletter is available at https://www. pacifichighway.nsw.gov.au/ coffsharbourbypass. “This latest update also includes information on what the project team is doing to prevent the spread
of Panama disease to local banana growers,” said Mr Conaghan. “The teams have worked with local growers to develop a plan which involves cleaning and wash down procedures for plant, vehicles, equipment and personnel, with the basic principle of ‘Come Clean, Leave Clean’ whenever entering or leaving banana plantations.”

Youth Homelessness Matters Day in Coffs By Andrea FERRARI
YOUTH Homelessness Matters Day installation in Coffs‘ City Square was held on Wednesday 21 April. The purpose was to raise awareness and public discussion about youth homelessness in order to develop sustainable and innovative solutions to support the needs and dreams of young people experiencing homelessness. The challenges facing young people as they seek to establish themselves in the housing market have increased significantly over recent years. Bruce Edwards, Team Leader at Groundworks Youth and Family Hub said, “A ‘Rental Affordability Snapshot’ by Anglicare in 2020 found that Australia wide only four out of 77,000 rental properties available were affordable to someone on Youth Allowance.” Affordability is not the
only issue. With fifteen to thirty year old people regularly attending rental property viewings
across the region, availability is a significant challenge. In this market, applications by young people

Buster’s reemergence a conservation concern By Emma DARBIN
THE reemergence of Woolgoolga’s historic Buster shipwreck on the town’s main beach over the Easter school holidays has become a major tourist attraction for the area, but has also sparked conservation concerns. Buster was wrecked on Woolgoolga Beach after a gale on 17 February 1893. Salvage efforts for the ship failed, and the vessel became a total wreck and gradually covered over with sand. The wreck becomes periodically exposed, usually after large storms which reveal the tips of the ship’s frames above the sand, marking the wreck’s location. However, most of the Buster shipwreck became exposed earlier this month following extensive flooding and storms in the Woolgoolga region. The exposed wreck has attracted a lot of attention from both Woolgoolga locals and visitors to the township over the recent school holidays. This increased attention has led Heritage NSW to issue a warning to visitors to the site not to alter the site in any way. Heritage NSW has stated on its website since the recent

Severe penalties, including jail terms, can be given for these offences. “We urge everyone not to disturb the remains, interfere with hull planks or climb into the exposed hull, which would reduce the site’s heritage values,” Heritage NSW

Upper Orara equestrian to lead Memorial Horse on ANZAC Day
By Andrea FERRARI
UPPER ORARA equestrian, Chris Fenech is realising a personal dream this Anzac Day, 2021. Chris, the owner of HWH Stables in Upper Orara, will play a key part in the Anzac Day service in Old Bar, on the coast from Taree. “After many years of wanting to join the Australian Light Horse Association, early this year I finally did so with a view to creating my own troop for ceremonial and display purposes, while also offering another educational angle for my HWH Stables' students that show an historical interest in our nation's heroic mounted troops,” Chris told News Of The Area.
“This year I am very fortunate to be invited to march on Anzac Day at Old Bar under the care of Rodney O'Regan, former vice president of the Australian Light Horse Association. “Rodney has entrusted me to march and lead the Memorial Horse, Mr Ed, which means a fully mounted horse with a soldier's boots turned in backwards in the stirrup irons, which fills me with great honour and pride to be

able to do this as part of my first ever march as a Light Horse trooper.” The riderless horse with the boots placed in such a way respectfully represents all the soldiers who died in service to their country. It is a powerful image for all. The Australian Light Horse Association’s aim is to preserve the history and traditions of the association and its predecessors. Chris has a passion to form his own troop out of HWH Stables and teach these traditions to local equestrians. “We could supply the troop to RSL Club events and of course Anzac Day in and around the Coffs Harbour region.” One important piece of history Chris is passionate to pass on is that Australians should be proud of the fact that, “Our Australian mounted soldiers led and won the last ever mounted battle, leading and winning the Charge of Beersheba – a pivotal achievement in World War 1.” Lest We Forget.

Coffs Central hosts The Rats of Tobruk 80th Anniversary Exhibition By David TUNE
ON Tuesday April 13 Coffs Central opened The Rats of Tobruk 80th Anniversary Exhibition on level one of the centre. The exhibition is a pictorial history presentation created by the Rats of Tobruk Association and commemorates the start of the siege, one of the longest in British military history, on the tenth of April 1941. The garrison at Tobruk included more than 14,000 Australian troops, and the siege lasted for a total of 242 days and was the first time German General Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Corps failed in the field. The name ‘Rats of Tobruk’ came about as a result of Nazi radio propaganda broadcasts labelling the troops contemptuously as ‘rats’. The troops of the garrison adopted and revelled in the nickname and it has become significant in Australian military history. The exhibition includes photographs and information
about Coffs Coast locals who fought in the campaign, and some descendants of those soldiers were present at the opening of the exhibition, as well as Association committee member Stuart Toliday, who read from his father Sergeant Bill Toliday’s memoir about his experiences at Tobruk. Siblings Roslyn and Philip Hannaford were present to remember the service of their father Arn (Arnold) who
served at Tobruk and New Guinea and went on to serve as Coffs Harbour Shire Council President after the war. Philip said, “We are touched by the significance of this exhibition and we are forever grateful to our Dad for his service and example. “It was because of his war service that I joined Cadets here in Coffs Harbour and then went on to serve six years in the Navy.”

Fruit cakes, bananas and much, much more at The Exhibition Hall at Coffs Harbour Show
By Andrea FERRARI
WITH the Coffs Harbour Show next weekend – Friday April 30 to Sunday May 2 – here’s a glimpse inside the Exhibition Hall. Fancy baking? Then get your mixing bowl out for the Rich Fruit Cake competition, sponsored by Mills-Thom`s Mechanical Repairs, baked to The Agricultural Societies Council of NSW recipe. Then there’s the scone competition. Sponsored by The Bailey Centre Liberty there’s a Senior Prize of $300 and a Junior Prize of $100. Paul Amos, Manager at The Bailey Centre Liberty said, “We’ve been sponsoring the scone competition for a few years and it’s turned into quite an icon of the Exhibition Hall.
“There’s plenty of entrants who enthusiastically seek to take on the mantle of making Coffs Harbour’s best scone. “As a former judge I’ve been the beneficiary of many a delicious scone. “The Coffs Show is part of a tradition that forms a healthy, strong, happy community.” If you love a delicious banana, you’re in the right place. The Coffs Harbour & District Banana Growers Association (BGA) will display the best of the best. Jeff Eggins, President of the BGA and a grower himself in Woolgoolga will be on hand with fellow growers. “This year we’re focusing on meeting the community and giving away free bananas and getting invaluable feedback on the varieties and size that people like,” said Jeff.
“Come along and tastetest the three varieties of ripened bananas and have a chat.” OZ Group Co-OP LTD, another local 100% Australian Farm Owned cooperative, will also be present with their berry products. In crafts you’ll find Paper Craft, Knitting, Crochet, Needlework, Craftwork, Quilting and Junior Craft, with school craft displayed on the walls. “This year we have the Group 2 Quilt competition where the overall winner goes to The Royal Easter Show in 2022,” said Margaret Crawley, Vice President and Pavilion Chief Steward. “The Coffs Garden Club and Woolgoolga Garden Club are displaying Fresh Produce, Honey, Plants and Flowers.” The Coffs Harbour Orchid Society is also having a display.
According to MidWaste Project Officer Wendy Grant, the average household throws away one fifth of their groceries or one in five bags. That’s why Ms Grant and others around the world are participating in Stop Food Waste Day on Wednesday 28 April. She is calling on North Coast residents to fight food waste. “Stop Food Waste Day provides an opportunity for everyone to look at
how much food they throw away and make some simple changes to reduce food waste, save money and help the environment,” she said. “Around 1 in every 5 shopping bags full of food we buy ends up in the bin, which means the average family is wasting up to $4,000 every year throwing away food,” Ms Grant said. “In NSW we throw away around 800,000 tonnes of food to landfill every year.” Wasted food equals wasted energy, water and natural

resources used to grow, package, transport and sell it. The advice is to shop with a list, know your waste, plan your meals and love your leftovers. To tackle food waste across the Mid North Coast, MidWaste and local Councils have teamed up with the NSW Environment Protection Authority’s Love Food Hate Waste program to roll out the free online Food Smart program. “By joining the free Food Smart program, which involves a step-by-step guide and handy resources to reduce waste, your family can make small changes that add up to big savings and protect the environment,” Ms Grant said. Sign up to stop food waste at your place www.midwaste.org.au/food-smart. Organisers of the international day of action say around 33% of all food produced globally is wasted every year and that food waste is
central to some of the key challenges around the world today, including climate change, health and wellbeing, hunger and poverty, and the sustainability of agriculture and oceans. If food waste were a country, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gasses after the US and China, according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations.

Chapman became aware there was an equipment deficit that meant patients were required to attend Port Macquarie Hospital. Mr Chapman spoke with News Of The Area. “We try to donate something each year but recently went to see Dr Das and he was being hampered by the lack of the machine and the patients needing to get treatment at Port Macquarie. “So we thought that was a good thing to put money towards.” The argon plasma coagulation device is described by Dr Das as a game changer and will be used to treat multiple conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, as well as some cancers, such as liver and oesophagus cancer. “Essentially, it is an advanced way to control bleeding

by significantly reducing the risk of bowel or stomach perforation, unlike standard equipment," said Dr Das. "It will create new treatment options for some cancer patients. “Some life-threatening bleeding can only be controlled with this equipment, which means we can confidently go about certain procedures now at our hospital instead of referring some patients to Newcastle or elsewhere." Dr Das said the equipment will enable the surgical team at Coffs Harbour Health Campus to expand its service, which will reduce the inconvenience for patients who, until now, would have had their procedure in Sydney,
Newcastle or at a private facility. Dr Das said the equipment was worth every cent of its $50,000 price tag. The Chapmans kindly contributed $35,000 and the hospital funded the balance from public donations held in trust. The Chapmans are pleased that their donation will help many locals and encourage others who are in a position to also donate to the hospital. Mrs Chapman said there is another add-on piece of equipment to the device that is needed and if others can see that they can do this as well they can consider purchasing it to further the scope of work on offer.

Coffs Harbour City Orchestra plays Seniors Week concert By Andrea FERRARI
THE COFFS Harbour City Orchestra presented a fabulous morning of music in the Botanic Gardens on Sunday in celebration of 2021 Seniors Week. Despite the threat of rain, there was a great turnout with people of all ages from across the region. This year's theme of 'In Our Nature' was fitting given the location and provided the orchestra an opportunity to present a range of music; from the bold ‘Egmont Overture’ and ‘The Dambusters March’ (in recognition of ANZAC Day), all the way to movie themes of ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’. The popular theme from the 1970's television series ‘Upstairs Downstairs’ provided a great moment of reminiscence for many. “We’ve had a very enjoyable morning and it is great to be back at a concert with the Coffs Orchestra,” said Bellingen local and cherished ex-orchestra member Judie Bartley. “It is great to see that they have grown in size and improved as well," she added. “We really enjoyed the
concert, and it was great to support our friends,” said audience member Marg who came along in support of her friends from the Sawtell Water Rats. “I particularly enjoyed the Glen Miller swing style during The Homefront medley - who knew an orchestra could swing.” There was also a welldeserved presentation of Life Memberships to three orchestra musicians including Joy Griffin (Coffs Harbour local) who has been with the orchestra since its inception in 1979; Rosemary Lloyd (Bellingen local)
since 1990; and Ruth Egan (Urunga local) since 1997. The orchestra has enjoyed a post-COVID membership boom, having welcomed over fifteen new musicians to the group which is now growing close to 50. “It has been great to have some younger players join the orchestra bringing some youthful exuberance to the group. “The orchestra provides a fabulous social activity and connections beyond just playing great music together. “We are always open to new members looking to join like minded musicians," said orchestra member Josh Jeremy from Bellingen.

Commonwealth Allied Forces and saw action throughout the Middle East. Mr Grewal emigrated to Australia with the post war intake in 1947 and settled in far North Queensland, quickly gaining employment in the sugar cane industry. Nasib married Herbhajan Kaur in 1954 and proceeded to raise a family in the Cairns region. They had 7 children, sadly losing a son at 18 months to Diptheria.
Their relationship lasted the entire 67 years till his passing. Meanwhile, the eventual mechanization of the sugar industry in QLD brought an end to the need for the humble cane cutter. Nasib and his family moved to Woolgoolga in 1970 and immediately became involved in the banana industry, remaining so until his retirement in 1983. A natural leader with a strong character yet gentle persona, Nasib took up the mantle to lead in several community arenas. First and foremost
holding committee positions at the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple over four decades. A devout Sikh at heart, Nasib took great delight in overseeing the building of the current Temple on the hill. Mr Grewal was well known as a champion of people in hardship and liaising with the Woolgoolga Neighborhood Centre as well as numerous individual situations never known by the general public. Mr Grewal was also a fierce defender of women's rights in the midst of a very
conservative community and willingly bore the burden of those who were offended. The family home was a constant revolving door of those seeking help and intervention or the services of a JP. Nasib was a founding member of the regional board of the Banana Coast Community Credit Union and a long-term member of the Banana Growers Federation (BGF). A staunch ally to many political leaders on both sides of politics over 50 years, Mr Grewal was instrumental in gathering
support within the Sikh community for then Labor leader and soon to be Prime Minister, Bob Hawke. The North Coast Region has lost a stalwart of their community, the Sikh community have lost a father figure and spiritual leader, those who interacted with him personally have lost a friend and a true gentleman. Mr Grewal’s family have lost a loving husband, a dedicated father and father in-law, a grandfather and a great grandfather.

Ulong has a doctor in the house - at last
By Andrea FERRARI
THE OPENING of the Ulong Health Hub on Tuesday April 14 is the realisation of a five-year vision for local resident and chief proponent, Carol Cleary, whose village hasn’t had a GP for over 20 years. Carol and hubby Steve Cleary own the General Store at Ulong. Through the nature of their business as a general grocery, Australia Post hub, rural Centrelink agent, B&B and gas distributor, they are open all week and they hear everyone’s health plight. Carol told News Of The Area, “If anything major happens people have to call an ambulance which takes time, coming from Coffs. “In fact, on the day the Health Hub opened we had a resident with a medical issue and was able to see Dr Ruthnam straight away. “Afterwards she thanked me, saying if it wasn’t for the hub opening, she doesn’t know what would have happened.” Another tireless driver of the campaign TAFE NSW Head Teacher Health, Nursing and Aged Care, Lisa Taffe, who supplies nurses from TAFE NSW to the region and knows their

The nurses journey up the mountain twice a month, to provide blood pressure and health checks for the residents of the Eastern Dorrigo area. Big changes began when Healthy North Coast (HNC) provided $10,000 funding to build the clinical space within the Ulong Hall in 2018. They also supplied two dedicated laptops for Telehealth which connects
residents with doctors at the HNC practice, a fridge for medicines and specimens, thermometers, blood pressure monitors and oxygen gauges. Capping off the good news and crucial to the health hub’s success is the commitment of Northside Health GP Jay Ruthnam to providing monthly bulk-billed, face-to-face consultations in Ulong. Ulong Health Hub operates out of Ulong
Hall in conjunction with Lisa Taffe and her TAFE NSW nurses providing a fortnightly nursing service scheduled for two weeks after Dr Ruthnam’s regular visit. "I was so overwhelmed by the response from all the Allied Health Professionals who journeyed from as far north as Lismore and south to Forster to attend our launch day and speak to our community members,” said Carol.

A SECTION of the Pine Creek State Forest has been a battleground between conservationists and Forestry Corporation since before the formulation of a ‘harvest plan’ in 2013. The plan for logging in compartments 26 and 27 of the State Forest has been opposed because of its status as habitat for koalas and other important native species. Forestry Corporation’s harvest plan lists thirteen endangered animal and bird species, including koalas and yellow-bellied gliders. Surveys by local conservationists in 2016 observed gliders and koalas in the area. In addition, effects of logging, and the temporary infrastructure, such as roads, to accommodate it, are listed in the plan. These include dust on neighbouring properties, impacts to a mountain bike trail, poor visibility when large trucks enter Gleniffer Rd. and concerns about an adjacent school bus stop. Despite these issues, and the poor return for taxpayers from logging, as reported in News Of The Area last week, logging is proposed to

commence in December this year and continue until April next year. The harvest plan includes restrictions to protect flora and fauna, and includes the following conditions. “A tree will not be felled or damaged while a koala is known to be in the tree”,
“Retain and protect glossy black cockatoo feed trees” and the maintenance of a ten-metre exclusion zone near wetlands. According to Caroline Joseph, who has been working with the Bellingen Environment Centre for 22 years, there is only one person between Wingham
CHRIS BARROW
and the Queensland border to supervise every contractor. Ms Joseph said she has witnessed State and Federal governments slowly remove all protections for forests. “This block adjoins Bongil Bongil National Park and logging it cuts off the access for koalas and other animals to the
Park,” she said. The harvest plan refers to ‘selective logging’, but Caroline said, “They ‘select’ every tree.” “Politicians talk about local jobs, but Forestry Corporation can bring in contractors from outside the area who have absolutely no affinity with the Coffs Coast,” she said.
Well-known local environmentalist Mark Graham said, “The area proposed for logging has a very viable koala colony that is central to the koala population on the Coffs Coast. “Forestry Corporation systematically, industrially logs native forests, sending threatened species rapidly to extinction and the evidence is in the rapid decline of koala populations because of habitat loss before the bushfires. “This is a catastrophic proposal for our biodiversity on every level,” said Mr Graham. Ms Joseph said it was important for the community to band together to fight for local forests. “With News Of The Area and the local radio station being our only public voices now, all we have is each other,” she said. “All we can do is to keep fighting, but our support base is growing as more people are aware of climate change. “We’ve been defending these forests for more than twenty years and we’re not giving up,” she said.

Join the planning team for the Sawtell Super Fun Day 2022 By Andrea FERRARI
THE Sawtell Super Fun Day has run continuously for over 100 years and features the longest running Fun Run in Australia. New Year's Day 2022 might be a little over eight months away, but planning is about to get underway to make the 102nd Super Fun Day better than ever. Organising Committee chairperson, Keith Bensley told News Of The Area, “Now we are no longer
restricted by the number of people who can gather for a planning meeting, it opens the opportunity to involve many more of our community to expand the concept and share the experience. “Having more time and more people included in the planning will make it a lot easier for 2022 and we will not be looking over our shoulder dodging the Covid bogey.” The 2021 Sawtell Super Fun Day, like many events q

over the past 12 months, had to be “different” because of COVID restrictions but it was an opportunity for new initiatives which maintained the community’s enjoyment. Fortunately, the Fun Run, organised by Little Athletics was able to continue and the long tradition maintained intact. Feedback was extremely positive with many people encouraging expansion on this year’s initiatives for 2022.

The introduction of the entertainment stage featuring local musicians was particularly well received with many asking for it to become a regular feature. Attractions like the Animal Nursery, sand modelling and face painting can make a return, but the field is wide open for the new committee to come up with new and different ideas. “To get underway we are

Talent Show Wows The Crowd

By David WIGLEY
19 VARIETY performances wowed a packed house at last Saturday’s Talent Show at C.ex Woolgoolga which left the crowd on their feet asking for more. Singer-songwriter Casey Alexander captured the hearts of the crowd with his original song ‘Come Home’ to win first place in the competition. Violin, viola and saxophone trio VVS took out second place in the senior competition with a stunning rendition of Coldplay’s Viva La Vida and Leevon Young won the encouragement award for his performance of the Eagles’ 'Hotel California' on the electric guitar. Calamity Thorncraft took the audience on a trip down Broadway with her song and dance performance of 'Amazing Mayzie' to win first prize in the junior competition. Singer-songwriter Paige Saban captured emotions with her original song, 'Purple Daisy’ written about her little sister to win second prize and Dylan Wigley won the encouragement award for ‘Perfect' which he performed
half in the style of Ed Sheeran and the second half in an operatic style by Andrea Bocelli in Italian. Marijka Richter’s Lyrical Dance made the audience gasp with a graceful performance that included jumps and flips. The Happy Few rocked the crowd with 'Never Tear Us Apart' by INXS and the audience gave a standing ovation and sang along to the final performance of 'Happy Together' performed by 9-piece Woolgoolga band, Ukeytars. Picking winners from the great pool of local talent was possibly Jack Thompson’s hardest role ever, as the Hollywood actor and local treasure explained to the audience. The judges fell in love with each and every act, from the opening performance of ‘Hallelujah’ by Tegen Elliott right through to the closing performance by the Ukeytars. The idea to host a Talent Show started as a pipedream several months ago when the NSW Women Of The Year Community Hero winner Jean Vickery proposed the event to

The band is described on Triple-J Unearthed as “An altrock/moody pop band from Brisbane, whose songs explore the emotions and challenges that life can present as a young adult.” Influenced by such groups as The Maine, ARIZONA, The Band CAMINO, 5 Seconds Of Summer, and Panic! At The Disco, they aim to present music that is relevant, informed and relatable, and prefer to avoid genre boundaries with their individually crafted songs.

The other tracks on the release are ‘Love & Love Lost’ and ‘Short Relationships’. Having played a sold-out show at a venue in Fortitude Valley recently, the band is looking to move forward. “Our main goal is to get work as a support band with an established group that is touring the country,” said Alex. The band line up is Alex Thompson on vocals, Ben Rayson on lead guitar, India Wallis on bass, and Jacob Thrum on drums. Tragic Me’s music is available on Youtube and streaming services.

Sharing his unique art, Dave hosted workshops for kids at the gallery. “Both sessions were well attended and I’m pretty sure the kids had a great day. “I sure did anyway! “Coffs Harbour definitely has some amazingly talented young artists…and punsters in the making. “It was an honour and a pleasure to share some tips and ideas with the kids,” said Dave Paul McKeon, Chairman of NCG hosted the Opening Night event, welcoming Dave to Australia’s only cartoon gallery. Margaret Cameron, Manager of NCG acknowledged
the contribution of the gallery’s volunteers. “Shout out to volunteer extraordinaire, Lina Altweel and Lenny Aitken who did such a super job matting (mounting, borders and framing) all the artworks.” With almost ten years of sandwich bag art and interest gradually growing, Dave said, “An article in the Herald Sun down in Melbourne really kicked things into overdrive. “Then somehow I was discovered by various global entertainment websites – Bored Panda, LADbible and even the BBC radio in Northern England.” Dave, a Melburnian, and
his family were delighted to find the new direct flight from Melbourne to Coffs Harbour. The quirky cartoonist was also impressed by the local coffee scene. “My personal favourite was trying a beetroot latte for the first time at Surf Street Café, Emerald Beach. “Our experience in Coffs has been brilliant. “I haven’t visited the area since I was a kid, and it was so great to be able to combine the gallery with a short holiday with my family. “We’ve stayed in Sapphire Beach and had a ball and will definitely be back for a longer visit,” said Dave.

Punjabi Sikh culture is an important part of the Coffs Coast’s identity, and the new exhibition provides a window into the Woolgoolga community through the personal stories, objects and

The new exhibition not only educates the public about local Sikh history, but also immerses audiences into the local Indian culture, allowing them to celebrate stories of marriage and love. Visitors to the exhibition may feel like they’ve stepped into a Bollywood scene, with colourful draping and a couple’s wedding seat to take selfies. Photographs of local marriage stories and cultural marriage practices will be on show, including personal stories of how couples met, and a ‘then’ and ‘now’ photo essay.

It's Raining Goals By David WIGLEY
THE Coffs Coast Tigers slugged out a six goal thriller against south zone champions Port United which ended in a 3-3 draw at Polwarth Drive. For almost an hour the game remained goalless but as the rain poured so did the goals, as the Coastal Premier League heavyweights slugged out an entertaining draw at Polwarth Drive. The Tigers have built on last year’s team adding youth and experience and coach Luke Stow was pleased with the performance against the South Zone champions from Port Macquarie. “With the conditions and the first game of the
season I am happy with the performance, we created a lot of chances and that's good but we need to be more clinical on the finish. “Still looking to improve
but happy with the effort from the boys,” said Stow Port United coach Nathan Wade thought a draw was a fair reflection of the match. “I thought the Tigers q Tigers held competition heavyweights Port United to a 3-3 draw.

looked a little bit sharper than us at times, possibly due to our limited trial games. “I had players playing their first games together, but to our players' credit
they kept fighting back, not once but twice and should have had the win in the end, 3-3 was a fair result indicating the tightness of the contest,” said Wade. The Tigers make the
short trip to Ayrshire Park to take on last year's north zone champions Boambee on Saturday 24 with a 3pm kick off whilst Port United host their cross town rivals Port Saints at the same time.
Boambee coach, Neil Witherdin praised Urunga and took out positives from the opening game of the season. “Basically Urunga have started the season where they finished last season with a very polished performance. “We had our chances in the game and managed goals scored by Kylie McDonald and Casey Cowgill.
“For our first game of the season we were able to take some positives out of the game, but Urunga have set a standard for all other teams to chase, but we will still look forward to the challenge,” said Witherdin. Urunga coach Trevor Martin finished his match report on a high note. “Brilliant start to the
season, outstanding individual performances from every player and we will improve as the new players begin to gel and the team becomes more cohesive,” he posted. Urunga Raiders host Maclean Bobcats on Saturday 24 April at 3pm and the Woolgoolga Wildcats host the Boambee Eagles at 3pm on Saturday.

2020 champions Urunga pick up where they left off By David WIGLEY IN a repeat of last year’s grand final, Urunga Raiders overcame the Boambee Eagles 4-2 in the first round of the women’s first division to start the 2021 campaign where they left off in 2020. For almost an hour the two strongest teams on the Coffs Coast cancelled each other out until Casey Cowgill opened the scoring for
Boambee with a penetrating run and composed finish. Urunga were quick to respond when Willow Neal went on a mazy run and rifled the ball into the bottom corner of the net to square the contest for Urunga. When Bronte Wall went down with an ankle injury, a compassionate Boambee player ran to the sideline for an umbrella to shelter her opponent whilst she received treatment from coach Trevor Martin in the pouring rain. Perhaps it’s these moments of camaraderie
that have contributed to the growth of female football on the north coast and this gesture of kindness was worthy of any FIFA Fair Play Award. Although Urunga were forced to play most of the second half with only 10 players the defending champions showed their class as they scored three more goals through Lulu McGrath, Kate Fry and Sheree Boland with Kylie McDonald scoring for Boambee to finish the game 4-2 and 3 points to the defending champions.

Property dispute between co-owners HENRY and Peter purchase a large rural property together. The property has four dwellings on it. They agree to each live in one of the larger homes and they each choose one of the other cottages to rent-out and each receive the rental income from that cottage. They agree to contribute equally towards the mortgage repayments and outgoings and to share the responsibility of maintaining the property. Excited by the prospect of their joint venture, they do not worry about putting anything in writing. They purchase the property as tenants-in-common. Several years later, the dwelling that Peter resides in is damaged by a flood and he moves out. He continues to receive the rent from his other dwelling. Henry and Peter agree that Henry shall be entitled to be paid for the time that he spends maintaining the property. Again, nothing is put in writing. Peter finds it difficult to pay his share of the mortgage and outgoings, including insurance and rates and he decides that he wishes to sell the property. Henry continues to pay the whole of these expenses. Peter commences Supreme Court action (known as a 66G Application) and Henry reluctantly agrees to the sale. The property is ultimately sold but a dispute arises regarding the distribution of the proceeds of sale. Peter claims that he is entitled to Henry paying him an occupation fee. He also claims that he is entitled to a portion of the rent that Henry has received. Peter also refuses to pay Henry for his maintenance of the property and refuses to pay his share of the outgoings. The matter is ultimately resolved at a Court ordered mediation, at significant cost to the parties.

ANZAC Day at Cex International Stadium DEAR News Of The Area,
AS you may have heard, Coffs Harbour, Woolgoolga and Urunga RSL Sub-branches have joined forces to provide the Coffs Coast community the certainty of a full ANZAC Day Service and March. The decision was taken in view of the cancellation of ANZAC Day Remembrance Services last year due to the COVID-19 threats. In 2021 the COVID-19 threats remain and NSW Health authorities imposed severe restrictions upon public gatherings, assemblies and outdoor events. By February it was plain that we could not guarantee a full ANZAC Day Service and March with any certainty at all! ANZAC Day is a sacred
day for not only veterans, but their families and all Coffs Coast residents who remember their friends and family members who paid the supreme price and those who came home forever damaged. Here in Coffs and indeed across the length and breadth of Australia, ANZAC Day is the supreme Day of Honour and Remembrance; more important than Australia Day. With the above in mind the Joint ANZAC Day at the Cex International Stadium is planned as the safest, surest ANZAC Day available; even if COVID regulations are toughened up. The Cex International Stadium is undoubtedly the best location for a certain ANZAC Day for our Coffs
Koala protection DEAR News Of The Area, I NOTE your article (Coffs Coast News of the Area, 9 April Edition) covering the Government purchase of coastal land at Emerald Beach to protect the habitat of various native species under threat, including koalas. At the announcement the National ‘s member for Coffs Harbour, Mr Gurmesh Singh, declared that, “Buying this land is an important step in conserving our native flora and fauna in the local area.” Just wondering, would this be Mr Singh whose political party last year began eroding a concrete roof cut into the slope. Drainage under and also over the top. Patching up continuously will just keep going on and on, to no long term benefit. Get your minds thinking. Regards, Leigh POLLOCK.

the NSW Government’s plan and regulations meant to ensure the proper preservation and protection of koala habitats? In early March 2020 the Nationals made moves to exempt most of NSW from proposed koala protection regulations. When this was opposed, partly by their coalition partners, part of an agreement was that the ‘Planning Secretary’ may approve Local Councils to protect koala habitat. But, the Office of the Planning Secretary sits in the Department of none other
Community. Under cover, with splendid viewing for spectators, safe easy and free access, and seating for all! It ticks all the boxes. A great day for families to show their children the ANZAC spirit in action. We would all love to be living in a COVID free world and hold ANZAC Day as in years past; but we do not. Let us all embrace the opportunity before us to make this ANZAC Day one of our best! For all we know this may be the new ‘normal’ and we may be looking at something similar for ANZAC Day 2022?
Regards, John LLOYD, Coffs Harbour RSL Subbranch. than - the National’s leader John Barilaro. In addition to these roadblocks, there are also Coalition discussions which could see stripping council rates exemptions from landholders who currently receive government funding through environmental offset agreements, one of the tools to protect koalas on private land. In view of the above machinations of Mr Singh’s National Party, his words ring hollow - token words for local consumption which belie the reality of the National’s actual moves against preserving koala habitat. Regards, Geoff PRATT, Sawtell.
Mrs Wendy P. Dear Wendy, THE stages of washing are never-ending, so to have to wait for five hours before you can even start the process seems absolutely ridiculous. Laundromats or sharedaccommodation laundries are cool places when depicted in movies. There's always an edgy looking girl (who can't afford a washing machine but can afford killer Mary-Jane shoes, a leather jacket and an ironic beanie) perched on a seat, her legs crossed in a provocative manner, flicking through a magazine, and a hapless dude who accidentally goes to the wrong machine and takes out her lacy underwear. Then she giggles instead of slapping him across the face and they leave their washing to hail a cab (this is an American movie) before starting a Woody Allen-type romance (the sort he depicts in his movies, not his real-life romance that involves his adopted child - that would be a turn off for viewers). The reality is quite different. The first shared laundromat I experienced was when I moved out of home and lived in an apartment complex. At the time I was a frazzled firsttime mum washing baby clothes, so to be confronted with a 'cold water only' machine that invariably had smelly tradie clothes in it was a crass and unhappy introduction to adulthood. Personally, I would say ten minutes is an acceptable time to leave clothes that have finished their cycle in the washing machine. You would actually be doing the person a favour by putting them in an open space to air. You could leave a little note saying 'dear owner of boxer shorts with a tacky fish print and the Rolling Stones shirt that has not aged as well as Mick Jagger, I have removed your items so I can do my own washing and left them to air in the communal basket someone thoughtfully left behind. The load setting you chose goes for 59 minutes, so in future please set an alarm to prevent this awkward event happening again. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Ulong Health Hub CONGRATULATIONS to all those people in Ulong who have worked so hard for many years to provide a health service for the
township – particularly Carol Cleary, Estell Wade, the NSW Health Department and NSW TAFE Nurses, Northside Health, Ingrid Siverton, Lisa Taffe and Dr Jay Ruthnam. I was delighted to be asked along recently to the opening of the Health Hub in Ulong Hall which will play host to a monthly GP consultation under the auspices of Dr Ruthnam. This is in addition to the regular first aid training, 24-hour accessible community defib, women’s health clinic and monthly Health Check clinics run by wonderful TAFE nurses that already operate out there. Doctors can also be accessed via a visual hook-up with the assistance of the nurses, through a Telehealth program which Council was proud to fund through the 2021 Community Organisation Assistance Grants. This great initiative is a result of many passionate community organisations coming
Urban myth rears its head DEAR News Of The Area,

NO more Salute at our Jetty Foreshores! DEAR News Of The Area, NO more Salute at our Jetty Foreshores! I can’t believe this? What is with our Coffs Harbour Council! This past year with Covid-19 so many businesses have done it tough. Why would our council not continue to allow such a thriving positive Jetty business continue their lease? Who like me has frequented Salute when down at the Jetty? I’ve taken out of town guests to this great little venue, their service is second to none, their coffee and all their offerings are so
beach appropriate, on point, and so popular. Who in Council can give me a reason why they would do this? I’m so sad for these guys who have worked hard to build a thriving hub, they have put a wonderful vibe and stamp on a beach experience. The Council should be giving them an award, not giving them notice that their lease is NOT going to be renewed! I am disgusted at this decision and I hope enough public outcry turns this around. Council is an elected body who are meant to represent us, the community of Coffs Harbour. Regards, Sandra SPENCE, Coffs Harbour.

together, listening to community needs and working together to find creative solutions. Well done all! 2021 is turning out to be another triumphant success for the wonderful Screenwave International Film Festival, or SWIFF. We all know that we have a community filled with passion for the arts and culture – people who have worked long and hard to ensure we can celebrate the arts in all its forms. I think I speak for us all when I say we’re extremely grateful to the ever-popular SWIFF team for being so courageous back in 2015 and starting SWIFF from scratch. It can only get bigger and better. Free Solar and Energy Advice for Residents
A new partnership between Council and the Australian Energy Foundation is giving Coffs Harbour residents free advice on home solar power systems and energy efficiency. Until 30 June 2021, residents can access a free energy advice service online or by phone and can make the most of a free, twenty-minute phone Energy Consultation. This new partnership will support Coffs Harbour City Council in achieving our Sustainability Policy and Climate Change Policy - including the goal of sourcing all electricity for the organisation from renewable sources by 2030. To take advantage of the free service, residents can call the Australian Energy Foundation and speak to an energy advisor on 1300 23 68 55 or visit their website www.aef.com.au.
Gwynne were undertaking their morning walk last Thursday, they came upon a koala trying to have a snooze in one of the Tallowwoods bordering the footpath in a Linden Avenue property. The commotion made by attacking birds was not only keeping it awake, but ultimately gave its presence away. The Tallowwoods in Linden Avenue, like those in many of our tree lined streets are a critical part of the connected corridors which
enable the few koalas still around to move between larger retained areas containing food trees , and ultimately to co-exist with us urbanites. Another reason why we all need to drive carefully on our local roads; and preserve the often isolated koala feed trees. Keep looking - you never know your luck. Regards, Dave WOOD, Boambee East.

Coffs United down Byron Bay in the FFA Cup By David WIGLEY COFFS City United defeated Byron Bay 3-0 at Forsyth Park on Sunday to progress into the fourth round of the FFA Cup. Gum Mayak opened the scoring from the penalty spot to give the Lions a 1-0 lead going into the sheds at half time. Mabior Garang kept up his good form from the previous day’s CPL match as the 17 year old doubled the lead for the Lions when
he sprinted away from his defender to score against the advancing Byron Bay goalkeeper. Byron Bay launched a second half assault but skillful winger Jemilla Oko ended the contest when his first touch created enough space in a crowded penalty area to fire home and secure entry into the fourth round of the FFA Cup. The postponement of matches in February and March due to the weather has resulted in a fixture pile where the Lions

Lions captain Aaren Allsop limped off the

pitch against the Storm the previous day and was forced to cheer on his teammates from the sidelines. “Great to see the boys bounce back the way they did in a hard fought match, especially after slogging out a 2-2 draw 24 hours earlier. “It was hard to watch from the sidelines, but the boys looked up for the challenge as soon as the whistle went. “Injury update looks like I’ve done my medial ligament at this stage, got to get some more scans done to find out the full extent of the injury, a disappointing way to start the year to say the least,” said Allsop. The Lions next match is against Macleay Valley Rangers on Saturday 24 April at Forsyth Park with a 5pm kick off.

ABC TV PLUS, 8pm
Heaving crowds and close encounters with strangers at a live music venue are a distant memory. But, after a year of hard knocks for almost everyone, especially the live music scene, <i>The Set</i> returns tonight to fill that musical gap. Premiering with its third season in an excellent, new, party-ready weekend timeslot, viewers can expect co-hosts Linda Marigliano and Dylan Alcott to be more pumped than ever to celebrate talented local bands and musical acts. Filmed in front of a live audience, you can sway and sing along from home to the two guest performers. The pièce de résistance is the collaborative song at the episode’s conclusion.
Liking this slow-burning psychological mystery comes naturally, thanks in part to its stunning Blue Mountains setting. The disparate bunch of staff and patients of Ward C, a mental health facility, are majestically perched high above the mountains. The main protagonist is gifted psychiatric nurse Nik (British actor Rudi Dharmalingam), who is discovering firsthand that sanity is a mercurial beast, but the audience is also treated to funny and empathetic story arcs about others, including aloof manager Linda (Mandy McElhinney). Tonight, Genevieve’s (Harriet Dyer) hyper-sexuality causes problems. If one episode just isn’t enough, find the rest on iview.

As the fourth season of the blisteringly bleak drama kicks off, there is a buzz in the air: could this be the most actionpacked season yet? Could war against Gilead finally be imminent? June (Elisabeth Moss) is now a rebel leader and on a quest for justice – and we all know this is one woman who does not give up. After seasons mainly set in the confines of either Waterford’s (Joseph Fiennes) or Lawrence’s (Bradley Whitford) homes, the setting is about to crack open.“This year, in some ways it’s about patience rewarded,” executive producer Warren Littlefield said. “In season four, we have no home base.” It promises to be an exhilarating ordeal. 2304

Coffs swimmers amongst Nation’s finest By Aiden BURGESS
A TRIO of talented Coffs Harbour swimmers have shone on the biggest stage of Australian swimming. Millie Bradshaw, Sylas Phillips, and Bella Teale excelled at the recent National Australian Age Championships on the Gold Coast. The National Championships are the pinnacle event for athletes aged between 13-17 years and is highly contended with tough qualifying times limiting athletes eligible to compete. The three swimmers produced top results in their first taste of national competition. Millie Bradshaw qualified for a massive 9 individual events, and was selected in a further 2 relays. She swam exceptionally well over the 6 days of competition earning her place
in 2 finals where she excelled, finishing 6th in the 13 years Girls 100m Butterfly, and 7th in the 13 years Girls 200m Butterfly. Sylas Phillips had an outstanding meet, qualifying for 2 individual events, and was also selected in a relay. Phillips finished 7th in his 14 years Boys 200m Backstroke event. For Phillips, his growth into competitive swimming over the last 10 months has been incredible. Since the start of this season, he has dropped a mind blowing 38 seconds off his 200m backstroke. This improvement has seen him not only qualify to compete at these National Age Championships in both the 100m and 200m backstroke but also qualify for a final. Bella Teale qualified for her first National Age Championships in her
main event of the 100m Breaststroke. She was also selected to compete in two relays, swimming exceptionally well, improving her National Ranking to 21st in the 14 years Girls 100m Breaststroke, which is phenomenal in a large field of 50 girls. Lilly Geddes was also selected in a relay and with her teammates earned a 10th placing in the Girls 15-16 years 4x50 Freestyle Relay. The young swimmers coach Sarah-Jane Weir expressed her pride in their achievements with News Of The Area, as she explained the significance of their results. “These National results are incredible especially when you consider the large number of swimmers across Australia,” she said. “Only a small percentage of athletes qualify to compete because of how difficult
qualifying times are. “The results are a reward for the hard work, dedication and commitment over these last 10 months and have seen them cement themselves as some of the best athletes in their age across Australia. “As their coach I’m so incredibly proud, and it was my privilege to travel with them to support them.
meeting the benchmark and champions first up especially when six of your starting 11 are new to the club and team this year and haven’t played a single game together. “Overall I thought we played well, we were smart at times, tough, we had good intensity, we made good use of the ball and asked questions of them, we knew there would be periods where United would have good periods of possession and I thought we were comfortable with that
for the most part,” Caruana said. “Prior to the game I was confident that we could get a result from the game if we followed our match plan which I thought we did well for large periods of the game, we knew Coffs would not go away and the boys really made them work for a point. “We had a chance at 2-0 to go three up which narrowly went wide and conceding with seconds left before half time to go in 2-1 was a reminder
that you can’t switch off in this league, not against United, you don’t want to give a team like that a sniff and we did, prior to that I thought we had taken the wind out of their sails, to concede a scrappy goal right on half time is something we’ll look at and work on during the week. “To concede the equaliser from a penalty in the second half like that is disappointing and frustrating, we’ll look at the video during the week and see if there is anything from

Game of two halves as Storm and Lions share the points By David WIGLEY
LAST year’s Coastal Premier League champions Coffs United drew 2-2 with the Northern Storm in the opening fixture of the 2021 season. The Storm kicked off their season at a whirlwind pace as new recruit Christian Mirindi wreaked havoc on the left wing and was rewarded with the first goal of the 2021 Coastal Premier League season when his trickery and pace pierced the Lions backline and he slotted home. The Storm continued to press a beleaguered Lions defence and doubled their lead with a spectacular diving header from Martin Skinner to give the Storm a 2-0 lead after twenty minutes. The Lions gathered their composure and reduced the deficit on the stroke of halftime with a goal from Addison Mallett and evened the contest with a second half Scott Goddard penalty to share the points. Storm joint coach Craig Caruana praised his team in a tricky opening fixture. “It’s a tough assignment

they host the Bowraville Goannas at Coffs Rugby Park. The Snappers have had successful seasons in recent years, having won the 2018 premiership and finishing runners up in 2019. The SCU Marlins hit the road for the opening round when they take on the
Kempsey Cannonballs. The Snappers and Marlins will renew their rivalry in 2021, after both clubs combined to form the Harbour Knights team which competed in last year’s New England Rugby Union competition. The 2019 premiers Hastings Valley Vikings
kick off their season with a local derby against the Port Macquarie Pirates in Port Macquarie. The 2021 Upper Mid North Coast Rugby Union season is set to feature a number of competitions, including senior men’s 1st and 2nd grade, 10-a-side

“I’m excited for each of them having started their journey at this level of competitive swimming and look forward to watching them grow as athletes.” Weir said competing at a home Olympics was something her swimmers were aspiring to. “It was truly a massive effort and incredible results,”
our side we can improve on in that area, I don’t really want to talk about the penalty it seems to be a recurring theme here. “I’m really disappointed with the two goals they scored, sometimes you concede a goal and think we got opened up or it was well created and we’ll have to work on this or that but I was frustrated at conceding those two goals." Caruana named some new arrivals as his star players on the day. “Bailey Bathgate, Christian Mirindi who scored one goal, and Jyelei Mckell were among our best and are all new additions this year, we know what you’re going to get out of the boys who have been here for a while but you don’t quite know exactly what you have until they pull the shirt on and make their mark on a game no matter how impressive they are in pre-season, I thought all three of them did that, we’ve still got a few new guys who were unavailable this weekend due to various commitments, it’s exciting to think how they can add to the team,” said Caruana. A game of two halves was a fitting cliche as Lions coach Glen Williams summed up the match. “Tough day at the Storm, first half we got outplayed in intensity and made two women’s, and under 14’s, under 16’s, and under 18’s competitions. Mid North Coast president Peter Gerathy praised the efforts of clubs to prepare for the season, especially the Lower Mid North Coast clubs affected by the recent floods. “We appreciate the circumstances that all clubs have been through over the last 12 months, but particularly the last 8 weeks, and I congratulate them for their resilience particularly
she said. “They are achieving some amazing things in the pool, and as a coach it is nice to see them dreaming of a future in the sport and actually believing it. “So Brisbane 2032 definitely a possibility and something they now think about. “It’s just incredible to see how far they have come.”
mistakes and got punished. “Second half was a good change, we created chances and Mabior Garang was wreaking havoc in their defence, several chances went begging to end the game in a draw,” said Williams.
With most of the March FFA fixtures postponed due to the weather, the fixtures are already piling up as Caruana told News Of The Area. “We’ve got Westlawn in the FFA cup on Tuesday night and that’s our next focus, it’s a good opportunity to introduce some new signings and some of our first graders who were unavailable on the weekend with family commitments, honeymoons and the usual things. “Mid-week games aren't usually great but considering we haven’t played much football it will be a good opportunity for us to build on what we started on the weekend and try a few things you usually would in preseason trials. “Looking ahead to Taree on the road this weekend, it’s a long day and we’re expecting them to be a tough opponent, especially at home, we won’t be underestimating any team, especially Taree on their home turf,” concluded Caruana. Kempsey Cannonballs, Old Bar Clams and Taree’s Manning River Ratz,” he said. “All have worked very hard to put teams on the field next week and wish them all the best for a successful season.” The 2021 Kennards Hire Upper Mid North Coast Rugby Union season will feature 15 rounds before a three-week finals series culminating with the grand final on 28 August.

Group 2 Rugby League kicks off 2021 season By Aiden BURGESS
PREMIERSHIP rugby league returned to the region for the first time since 2019, as the latest Tooheys New Group 2 Rugby League season kicked off on the weekend. After a season lost to COVID-19 in 2020, Group 2 clubs returned to the field to play for premiership points for the first time since 2019. 2019 minor premiers
the Coffs Harbour Comets started their season with a 34-16 victory away from home against the Woolgoolga Seahorses. 2019 premiers the Grafton Ghosts continued where they left off from two years ago, starting their premiership defence with a 28-12 win against the Bellingen Valley/Dorrigo Magpies at the Graveyard. The Macksville Sea Eagles
also got their 2021 season off to a winning note in front of their home fans with a 3810 opening round victory against the South Grafton Rebels.

Coffs Coast Gymnastics members amongst the best in the State By Aiden BURGESS COFFS Coast Gymnastics members have proven to be amongst the best in the state. The six National Level 8 gymnasts took on the state’s finest and achieved top results at the recent Senior State Championships at the Sydney Gymnastics and Aquatic Centre in Rooty Hill. The six girls have been training hard and preparing for this event since the reopening of the Coffs Coast Gymnastics gym in June 2020. The super six came back strong for their first competition this year in March where they earned their position at the State Championships. The Coffs Harbour gymnasts went against the best in the state achieving some great results. Moija Roser-Clark placed 6th overall with a bronze on
bars and a tie 5th on floor with her teammate Tabitha Follett. Shekinah Phipps placed 5th on the balance beam. All the girls had solid routines with fantastic improvements from the last meet. To achieve their great results at the State Championships, the six gymnasts train up to 12 hours per week both before and after school to maintain and progress forward with their skills. Alannah Robey and Kristie Dawson have coached the super six juniors for a number of years. Robey told News Of The Area that not only were they great gymnasts, but great girls as well. “It’s been amazing coaching them as not only are they good gymnasts, they are good people with great

personalities,” she said. “They have completed their judging competitions and coaching courses, and they mentor the younger girls as now it's their first job.” The proud coach said she shared a close bond with her gymnasts. “Sometimes we see them more than their parents do, and we do a lot more than just coaching like mental work and supporting them, as they are like family.” Robey said it took a special athlete to become a top gymnast. “It’s definitely an unrecognised sport in Australia, as it takes a lot of time and effort to learn the skills,” she said. “It’s very repetitive and you need a lot of discipline. “It takes a special person to succeed at gymnastics.”

AFL North Coast to get underway with 40th season By Aiden BURGESS
THE latest AFL North Coast season gets underway tomorrow in what could be the competition's biggest year yet in its 40th anniversary season. Both the seniors and women's competitions have doubled in numbers from 2020. The 2021 seniors competition will feature 8 teams with the Northern Beaches Blues and Nambucca Valley Lions stepping up to first grade, while the Lismore Swans and Casino Lions enter the AFL North Coast competition for the first time. The women’s competition will feature six teams after only three in 2020, with the Lismore Swans and Grafton Tigers new entrants while 2019 premiers the Port Macquarie Magpies re-enter the comp after a year off in
2020. Recent premiership winners the Coffs Harbour Breakers and Sawtell/ Toormina Saints get the season underway with a local derby tomorrow afternoon at Fitzroy Oval. Last year’s preliminary final was the last time they met with the Saints knocking the Breakers out of premiership contention. The Breakers and Saints have been the top two clubs in recent years, with the Breakers having won the 2017 and 2019 premierships, while the Saints won the flag in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018. The Grafton Tigers begin their quest for back-to-back premierships when they host the Northern Beaches Blues in Round 1. The Tigers won their first premiership in 8 years in 2020, while the Blues are

Nothing has stopped Australian rules competition in NSW’s north coast since 1982 – no natural disaster too large, no pandemic too prolific. Six teams contested the first season (then called North Coast AFL) in 1982: North Coffs Kangaroos, South Coffs Swans, Grafton Tigers, Urunga Hawks, Woolgoolga Blues, Port Macquarie Magpies,
Competition Manager for AFL North Coast, Paul Taylor, said clubs were looking forward to a larger competition in 2021. “Everyone is excited to expand the competition in this season,” he said. “Growing AFL North Coast means we get to travel to some of the most beautiful parts of Australia. “It’s going to be great fun.” The AFL North Coast’s women’s competition also gets underway tomorrow.

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.
