Coffs Coast certified as first ECO Destination in NSW By Andrew VIVIAN THE Coffs Coast has been certified as NSW’s first and only ECO Destination after an announcement on Tuesday by Coffs Harbour City Council and Ecotourism Australia. The ECO Destination Certification means the Coffs Coast region is not only recognised for preserving its natural beauty, but is also sustainable in terms of giving back to the community and being culturally authentic. A minimum of 90 criteria points must be met to become an ECO Certified Destination, based on the internationally accredited

Correction NEWS Of The Area would like to offer a correction for the headline ‘Landcare tends to Boambee Headland after the hairstorm’ printed on p21 of our 19 November Edition. As you might have guessed, the story was not indeed about a ‘hairstorm’ but a hailstorm. Thank you to the sharp-eyed community members who brought the error to our attention. known that we are eco-friendly and it’s wonderful to be recognised formally for our outstanding Coffs Coast businesses and the Council teams that worked tirelessly to bring this together. “ The Coffs Coast is geographically unique as it is the only place in NSW where the Great Dividing Range meets the Pacific Ocean. The region has thirteen national parks and many more state forests and reserves that extend from mountainous hinterland through to unspoiled coastline bordering the Solitary Islands Marine Park, the oldest marine park in NSW. Three local businesses have previously been certified by Ecotourism Australia: Wajaana Yaam Gumbaynggirr Adventure Tours (stand up paddle board tours led by Gumbaynggirr guides or Aboriginal guides), Treetops Adventure (a tree ropes and ziplining experience) and Bruxner Park Flora Reserve (with stunning vistas over the Coffs region towards the coast, including Sealy Lookout and the Forest Sky Pier). They are now joined by the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden, with its natural bushland and rainforest, Coffs Coast Mountain Retreat, an adult-only, pet-friendly retreat and Jetty Dive which offers swimming with whales, diving with sharks and tours of the South Solitary Islands Marine Park. Clark Webb, who operates Wajaana Yaam Gumbaynggirr Adventure Tours said, “It is really important for the region that we implement eco sustainable practices. “Being mindful of things like cleaning products, plastics use, sunscreen and water use is essential.” Dan Heather, group leader of Council’s City Prosperity group, the impetus behind the certification said, “There are a lot of businesses that recognise the value in being eco-friendly and many say they are but Ecotourism Australia provides the only stamp of validity for a destination to truly claim it is eco-friendly and sustainable. “Eco tourism is becoming a growing trend and consumers are more aware. “As a region and a destination we have a responsibility to ensure sustainability and protect our natural environment not just for our generation but for the future.”

NDIS Shortcomings FROM Page 1 Shadow Minister for the NDIS and Government Services. Mr Shorten spent two days in Coffs Harbour, with sessions at the Chill ‘n’ Chat Café at the Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre and the National Cartoon Gallery. When the NDIS was first proposed, Mr Shorten was one of its major architects, and is now very concerned about its current operation. He said the NDIS is a great idea but is not implemented well.

Mr Shorten said Coffs Coast NDIS participants were amongst people nation-wide who have found that in the past few years, the NDIS has become a bureaucratic nightmare and dealing with it has become a full-time job for many people. He said it causes a lot of needless distress, particularly when people have to continually prove their disability. At the National Cartoon Gallery, Mr Shorten told the audience that supporting people with disabilities is not

only good for them, but good for the economy. He said that $2.25 was generated for every dollar spent. “When you invest in people you get a return,” he said. With 300,000 working in the disability sector, Mr Shorten said he hopes that it will get the same attention as other employment sectors. He said, “It’s about making the NDIS work in the interests of people.” He also said that claims about funding increasing are misleading, because more people accessing the NDIS leads to increases but the

q Bill Shorten addresses NDIS providers and participants at the National Cartoon Gallery. reality is that average funding is decreasing. Mr Shorten likened the pressure being put on people to justify their NDIS claims with Robodebt, and reminded the audience that the government eventually paid $2 billion back to 500,000 people to prevent having to go to court. While there may be problems with the scheme, Mr Shorten said, people have to be trusted and treated with respect. He gave an example of a young man with complex epilepsy who needed a $2500 mattress. Mr Shorten said the

department spent much more than that amount fighting the claim and the young man died before it was resolved. He said that the onus on decision making has to be reversed - if the deadline for a bathroom modification, new wheelchair, etc. is not met, then the claim should be passed. Another issue Mr Shorten spoke about was the situation for people more than 65 years old. He pointed out that it is not fair that those who gain access to the NDIS before age 65 continue on it after turning 65, while people with

disabilities who do not gain access before turning 65 must access the aged care system. Mr Shorten also suggested that Council could have a role working with community legal aid centres to support NDIS people with problems. He said that, while improvement is needed in the system to streamline coordination and increase human interaction, “I believe that the NDIS is a great thing.” Mr Shorten told News Of The Area he was delighted to be in Coffs Harbour and had many fond memories of holidays here when he was a student in the late 1980s.

standing. Eight Councillors will be elected to the new Council for the coming three-year term. At the 2016 Coffs Harbour Local Government Election, 17 women stood for the position of Councillor out of 45 candidates, and four women ran for Mayor out of nine candidates. These statistics reveal that 51 percent of the candidates standing for the position of Councillor at the 2021 Coffs Harbour Local Government election are women, as opposed to 37 percent at the 2016 Coffs Harbour Local Government election. Coffs Harbour councillor Sally Townley said traditionally Council has been the domain of older men, who were considered to be the ‘town fathers’. “But now there is much greater understanding that the best kind of representative democracy involves diversity,” Cr Townley said. “It's great to see more women standing for Council, especially younger women. “There are definitely still barriers to participation, including financial barriers; but I hope that as a community we can support women to become involved by being flexible in the way we do things.” Cr Townley said Cr Tegan Swan was the only Coffs Harbour councillor to have given birth during her term of office. “Supporting her to incorporate a new baby as well as other children into her Council role was a pleasure and I think helped to break some stereotypes,” Cr

By Emma DARBIN

THE number of women standing at the December 4 NSW local government elections this year has significantly increased following a campaign by the NSW Government to increase diversity among councillors. The NSW Electoral Commission has confirmed that women will represent 41.7 percent of the 3,864 candidates standing at the upcoming elections, an increase of 4.2 percent compared to the 2016-17 elections and 6.2 percent from the 2012 poll. While only three women including current councillors Tegan Swan and Sally Townley, and marriage celebrant Donna Pike, are running for Mayor at the Coffs Harbour Local Government election out of ten candidates, a total of 17 women are vying for the position of Councillor out of the 33 candidates

government poll. “However, we are not resting on our laurels and we are now shifting the focus to continuing this good work during the next council term.” The NSW Government has announced more than $2 million in funding to support local democracy and increase diversity of councillors serving on regional councils ahead of the September 2024 local government poll. The Supporting Regional Democracy Program will boost the capacity of councils in the bush to actively promote diversity over the next three-year term. “Regional councils are the heart of their communities and councillors play a leading role in the economic and social wellbeing of towns and cities across NSW,” Minister Hancock said. “The program will build the capacity of regional councils to take action over the next three years to encourage broader participation in local government with a particular focus on younger people, women, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents.”

Candidates Forum THE Coffs Harbour LGA Residents and Ratepayers Association will be holding a Candidates Forum at the Cavanbah Centre at 6.30pm on Tuesday 30 November.

Townley said. “Being on Council is a team sport and I would love to support any new members, especially women, to serve their community." The NSW Government has been rolling out promotional campaigns targeting women, funded workshops for female candidates, allowed virtual meeting attendance for councillors with carer responsibilities, and introduced superannuation and mandatory payment of childcare costs for elected representatives to increase the number of women standing for local government elections. “It is wonderful to see a significant increase in the number of women standing for election which will greatly improve our chances of boosting the number of female councillors serving in councils across the State,” NSW Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock said. “The Government has worked hard to encourage people from all walks of life to stand for their community and run for election to their council at next month’s local

Mayoral candidate hopes to give community a voice MOONEE Beach marriage celebrant and humanitarian Donna Pike has thrown her hat in the ring for the role of Coffs Harbour Mayor at next week's Local Government Election. Donna hopes to be a voice for the community on Council and is passionate about helping the homeless in Coffs Harbour, promoting health and natural medicine, increasing social infrastructure for youths, promoting the region’s Aboriginal culture, fostering a work/family balance for local women, promoting the right to personal freedom of choice, and supporting local notfor-profit community groups. “I have a huge passion for our community,” Donna said. “I’m very fierce and very strong when it comes to humanitarianism. “It didn’t take me to become Mayor to want to be in a position to help, I’ve been doing it for years.” Donna is particularly passionate about helping local homeless people and has actively been making their lives better over many years by creating homeless backpacks containing clothes, shoes and personal items and personally listening to their stories. “I have addressed Council so many times on homelessness, we have a lot of people in the area that are struggling and when Covid happened it accelerated the issue,” Donna stressed. “There’s all these people that are really really struggling.” Donna is also passionate about health and natural medicine, and has gained attention within the community for her stance on the Covid-19 vaccination.

She has lived in Moonee Beach for 27 years and shares four children and eight grandchildren with her husband, local musician Tim Pike. During this time she has been awarded the Coffs Harbour Environment Award from Council in 1989 for her initiatives to promote recycling in the area, created the Coffs Harbour Community Support, Low-Income & Recycling Initiative, and helped run the Orphans Xmas Events at North Coast Regional Botanic Garden. Donna Pike is running for Mayor as an Independent, with no group ticket, at the upcoming local government election.

THE Coffs Coast Housing Partnership Group (CCHPG) says Coffs Harbour is in the grips of a housing crisis, and the situation continues to deteriorate with prolonged inaction. “All levels of government have a role to play to address this urgent crisis,” said a spokesperson from the group. “Everybody deserves a safe and stable home however this is something that too many local Coffs Harbour residents are unable to access.” CCHPG is made up of the local services that work in our area with families and individuals

three fundamental questions of potential candidates: 1. What do you think are the main drivers for homelessness in the area and how should Council and local Government address these? 2. What actions would you take to improve housing accessibility and affordability in the region? 3. Other Councils facing similar housing crises have successfully implemented a dedicated position to support people who are sleeping rough (a Public Space Liaison Officer). If elected, would you commit to funding and implementing this in Coffs Harbour? “The CCHPG is a collaborative network of services working together each day to support local community members faced with this

housing emergency,” said the spokesperson. “These questions are posed by representatives from key local agencies who make up this group including (but not exclusive to) Warrina Domestic and Family Violence Specialist Services, St Vincent de Paul, Blue Sky Community Services, the Coffs Harbour Neighborhood Centre, Community Housing Ltd and Mission Australia Housing. “We wish the candidates the best of luck in the elections and look forward to hearing how they will work with us to end homelessness for all.” News Of The Area invites candidates to provide their answers via email to media@ newsofthearea.com.au.

Coffs Harbour Health Campus opens new building By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Harbour Health Campus Clinical Services Building became operational on Wednesday 17 November 2021. The first service that moved into the new building on Wednesday was the Emergency Department and from 7am it became operational. The front reception and enquiries areas also opened, with the Pink Ladies’ Café serving its first customers in its new location the following day. Services will move into the new building in a staged approach through to completion by early December.

COVID-19 screening on arrival at the new hospital and visitor restrictions remain in place. Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour, told News Of The Area, “The $194 million Coffs Harbour Health Campus Expansion Project will help us meet the needs of our region’s growing and ageing population. “This project is being delivered with future demand in mind, providing health services designed to adapt to expected growth. “There are two stages to the project: the construction of a new Clinical Services Building (which became operational on 17 November 2021) and the refurbishment

Once completed the new development will deliver: • a larger emergency department, including three separate waiting rooms • enhancements to existing surgical and operating

Annie Seaton’s latest novel launched By Andrea FERRARI

LOCAL author and international bestseller Annie Seaton has launched her latest adventure story ‘Osprey Reef’ and it’s available in bookstores around Coffs. A mysterious reef, a town filled with intrigue and family secrets are the backdrop for Annie’s latest novel, a dual timeline story. In 2019, Bethany Kristensen heads a family fishing charter business that is challenged, as a rival business attempts to damage their reputation.

In 1934, her great-grandmother Stella Booth escapes a life she dreads, as she embarks on a journey. Both stories will collide, secrets will be revealed, and a family mystery will be solved. “The research for Osprey Reef involved time spent in Mackay Library, and the Whitsundays region, exploring the historical aspects and the landscape settings of the story,” Annie told News Of The Area. “A highlight of the research involved a voyage on the Elizabeth E11, learning to be

www.newsofthearea.com.au a sea captain.” That charter boat is coincidentally owned and skippered by former Nambucca local Shane Steele, Anne’s great-nephew. Ninety-five percent of the ocean is unexplored and that leaves much scope for imagination for an author who loves writing suspense. “Along with the issue of coral bleaching, the mysteries of the reef provided the inspiration for the plot of Osprey Reef as the characters embark on a scientific expedition. Annie said, “Over the years I have been intrigued by the mysteries of the ocean and have enjoyed movies and books with sunken treasure and shipwreck themes.” ‘Osprey Reef’ includes many of the mysteries and current issues that impact on the reef today.

After her research was complete, which comprised library research, sea voyages, and many photographs, Anne came home to Nambucca Heads and sat down to write her story. “Pick up ‘Osprey Reef’, and lose yourself in the history and mystery, love and drama of the Great Barrier Reef,” she invites. Osprey Reef is available in e-Book and print. A signed print copy can be purchased at Annie’s online print store by visiting https://www.annieseaton.net/store.html.

Appeal after reported child approach – Emerald Beach POLICE are appealing for information after reports of a child approach near Coffs Harbour on the weekend. About 9.45pm on Sunday 21 November 2021, a 14-year-old girl was walking along Fiddaman Road, Emerald Beach – about 15 km north of Coffs Harbour – when she was approached by an unknown vehicle with two male occupants. The driver offered the girl a lift, however she refused and continued walking. The driver then exited the vehicle and attempted to usher the girl inside the vehicle before she ran to her nearby home. Police were notified and officers attached to Coffs/Clarence Police District have commenced an investigation. As inquiries continue, police are appealing for witnesses who may be able to assist in identifying the males or vehicle. The driver is described as being aged in his late teens, 180cm tall, of skinny build, and spoke with an accent she was not familiar with. He was wearing a black hoodie and dark long pants. The male passenger is not further described. The car is described as a late model, dark coloured Holden Commodore which was displaying green P plates. Investigators are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to contact Coffs Harbour police station on 6691 0799.

Jonesy officially on duty at Sawtell SLSC By Andrea FERRARI

THE ‘get the job done’ legacy of David Jones, the life-member of Sawtell Surf Life Saving Club (SSLSC) and former president of Sawtell RSL who passed away recently aged 70, lives on at Sawtell beach through Jonesy, the new SSV sideby-side, all-terrain vehicle. The vehicle was officially handed over, emblazoned with its Jonesy signage, at Sawtell SLSC on Sunday 21 November at a presentation attended by David’s wife Linda, his children and grandkids. Also in attendance were friends and fellow officials from Sawtell RSL. Through the generous donation of $23,000 from Sawtell RSL which has funded the purchase, Jonesy was put on duty with immediate effect. In a proud and littlebit-teary chat with News Of The Area, Linda said, “I’m very honoured and David would have been humbled. “David was such a community person and did so much, but never for accolades…it was for his hometown. “He built this place,” said Linda, sweeping her arm

across the SSLSC building. A brickie by trade, David Jones built many a construction in and around Sawtell. “He was a terrific organiser, and the job was always done. “David was awarded Sawtellian of the Year because of all these things.” A member of SSLSC since he was 13-years-old, he became a Life Member at thirty. David was recognised in 1978 with NSW Surf Lifesaver of the Year.

This was the first time it had been awarded to a participant outside of the Sydney area. “It was announced on Bondi Beach and when the organisers asked David if he had a speech ready, he had to say he was unprepared because it was just so unexpected.” And does his wife approve of the nickname Jonesy for the SSV? “Oh yes,” she said. Terry de Carle, SSLSC Life Member, officially thanked Sawtell RSL

Dallas Burrage, Sawtell RSL, noted, “David was awarded the highest honour the RSL of Australia can put on a non-member, the Certificate of Merit.” The spirit of these accolades earned through

Homelessness in Coffs - Ben Stevenson steps up awareness By Andrea FERRARI

THE homelessness issue across the Coffs Coast must sit front and centre with our local politicians because it’s only getting worse and now affects working people – that’s the driving inspiration for local HIT 105.5FM Coffs Coast broadcaster Ben Stevenson’s walk from Red Rock to Sawtell this week.

It coincides with Ben launching his podcast: Coffs In Crisis – Solving Our Housing Shortage. “As a resident of Coffs Harbour, I noticed the growing trend in a shortage of housing particularly in rentals. “I was looking for a place myself earlier this year and found it quite tough and what I’ve learned is that it's only

getting worse. “I’ve been hearing a lot of stories about the working homeless which is really quite concerning. “The battle was always people without jobs, vulnerable people; what can we do to get them back onto their feet, get them back into a job and then get them a place to live. “But now it’s teachers,

q Ben Stevenson’s walk from Red Rock to Sawtell this week. nurses, essential workers – people with jobs can’t find houses in the area. “It’s what inspired the walk - I want to make a bit of noise for the podcast to get people talking and demand attention from the politicians.” We’re all aware of walking past a homeless person and pretending they’re not there or maybe we don’t want to acknowledge the problem exists, noted Ben. “I spoke with Dean Evers (Founder, Hope for the

Y “Chris-Mousse is the answer.”

Homeless, Coffs Harbour) on the podcast about this. “He said, rather than say you don’t have any money, say ‘I’m just going into the shop, do you want anything?’ “They’re not asking us to fix the situation, but the least we can do is acknowledge them as human beings. “That would go a very long way for their self-esteem.” In his research Ben has found that older women make up the fastest growing demographic at risk of

being homeless, “because historically they get paid less and therefore didn’t earn as much Super, and they stayed at home looking after the kids”. The issues have existed for a long time and COVID has accelerated them and shown the cracks in the system. “COVID put a lot of people out of work and for older people they’d been working all their life and then found that there really wasn’t much of a safety net for them.” So, Ben put on his walking boots to step up awareness amongst politicians about the realities of Coffs’ homelessness. Walking the Solitary Islands Coastal Walk from Red Rock to Sawtell, the route took Ben through daily broadcasting stops in Woolgoolga, Emerald Beach, Park Beach and arriving in Sawtell on Friday 26 November. Listen to Ben’s first episode on the podcast: https://omny.fm/shows/ coffs-coast-1055 and get the facts from his conversations with guest speakers, Emma Belcher - Housing Matters Group, Dean Evers, Cathy Callaghan - Shelter NSW, Jesse Taylor - Mission Australia and Julie Crockett - Her Investment Property.

Domestic and Family Violence is Everyone’s Business By Andrea FERRARI

TO mark 2021's dates for the 16-days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, an online forum will be presented for community service staff who work with children and families on the Mid North Coast. The virtual event held online via YouTube will run for two full days on Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 November. The forum will explore the original theme of 2020 ‘Domestic Violence is Everyone’s Business’, as well as provide information on specialist topics that were recently requested by local service workers in the Mid North Coast region including Coffs Harbour and the Nambucca Valley. Key themes and ideas will be examined via guest speakers, specialists and community members with lived experience delivering talks. “People who work with children and families in our region have responded strongly to the call to action in preparation for the forum following last year’s event,” Stephanie Stevens, Sector

Development Officer at Blue Sky Community Services told News Of The Area. “When consulting with the local sector regarding which topics they would like to hear about at this year’s

forum, we found that there were new challenges and changes that had emerged since last year’s event.” Tivoli Conway from Blue Sky Community Services said, “The expertise shared by guest speakers will not only help to equip people working in the community with up-to-

violence can be complex and while we know some of the common ways it presents in the community, it is also constantly evolving, especially in the current COVID-19 landscape. “The forum seeks to shine a light on this issue with a

contemporary focus.” Matt Brown from 'She Is Not Your Rehab' will be a headline guest speaker, organisers are thrilled to report. Matt is a New Zealand born Samoan and an internationally acclaimed barber, hair artist, communicator, husband and father of three children known for ‘giving great cuts’ and ‘inspiring great men’. Matt is a survivor of family violence and childhood sexual abuse and shares his story with the men who frequent his busy Christchurch and Palmerston North barbershops, My Fathers Barbers, as a way to foster vulnerability, healing, and connection. With his wife Sarah, he co-founded, 'She Is Not Your Rehab' and launched the concept in a 2019 TEDx talk. The forum highlights local faces who work in the community, as well as those who work further afield in NSW, nationally and internationally. Blue Sky Community Services encourages interested community members to register: https:// b l u e s k y. o r g . a u / e v e n t s / domestic-violence-iseveryones-business-2/.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE CITIZENS OF COFFS HARBOUR This Open Letter aims to reflect the feelings of the people who attended the public meetings at the Jordan Pavillion and the Cavanbah Centre in 2019, when the Council plans for our “Cultural Centre “ were published, and we realised we had been dudded. In 2012, we were promised by our Mayor-of-the day, Denise Knight,

and her team, that we would receive an Entertainment Centre. Instead, by stealth, our community will now be saddled with a non-functional space, in a very restricted location, with new Council facilities, including Council Chambers,being prioritised, and a Performing Arts space to cater for only 200.

AND A $55 MILLION DEBT! On voting day, Saturday December 4, please consider the existing Councillors, who have nominated for re-election, and who have supported this current plan, along with any other aspirants who have declared similar support and their teams, as not being worthy of your vote.

We need Councillors who support your wishes, those who will demonstrate transparency, honesty and inclusiveness. We do not need Councillors who ignore our community, and who seemingly allow themselves to be manipulated without being correctly and fully informed.

These 3 candidates ignored the pleas of 15000 citizens of Coffs Harbour who petitioned our Councillors to pause the progression of the so-called Cultural and Civic Space

On Saturday December 4, we encourage the voters of Coffs Harbour to give careful consideration as to how they vote. Voting 1-9 below the line will more likely satisfy your needs.

DrinkWise campaign for Schoolies By Andrea FERRARI

REFRESHED education in the responsible service of alcohol for booze retailers is being doubled down on in the leadup to Schoolies. Coffs Harbour has been selected as a popular Schoolies area, where the local Dan Murphy’s and BWS stores’ staff have received refresher training in policies and ID25 along with ‘Don't buy it for them’ signage and DrinkWise decals. DrinkWise is an Australian social change organisation created to bring about a healthier and safer drinking culture in Australia. Coffs’ Greenhouse Tavern, also owned by Endeavour Group, will also have the DrinkWise decals. Additionally, everyone across Endeavour businesses are currently undergoing the Leading in Responsibility training. Accessing alcohol can bring out creative talents in the under-age community who commonly associate drinking with Schoolies, driving a determination to get their booze one way or another.

“We are always vigilant when it comes to responsible service of alcohol, but we know from experience to be hyper alert during this season, and we are well prepared. “We have a number of RSA refresher courses that team members have completed in the lead-up to this period -

r e m m u S q Lance Baker, Dan Murphy's Coffs Harbour store manager says, ”We have a number of RSA refresher courses that team members have completed in the lead-up to Schoolies.”

particularly focusing on our ID25 and Don’t Buy it for them - secondary supply policies. “The team is also undergoing Endeavour Group’s new Leading in Responsibility training, which emphasises how our teams go above and beyond regulatory measures when it comes to responsible service of alcohol.” “DrinkWise is working with retailers, including Dan Murphy's and BWS, to display moderation messages within liquor stores to remind Schoolies to stay classy when celebrating," DrinkWise CEO Simon Strahan said. According to DrinkWise research from September 2021, many have felt disconnected. "With over a third of Year 12s not feeling connected to those around them during 2021, it is natural that they will now want to experience some newfound freedom and celebrate the end of school. “However, after such a hard year of enduring restrictions, home-schooling and missed events, we'd encourage school leavers not to waste the opportunity to reconnect with friends. “If of legal age and choosing to drink, only do so in moderation and make sure you're looking out for your friends and keeping everyone safe," Simon added.

Patrick Brearley shared a brew with friends at the

new venue and can’t wait to return. “King Tide has lifted the bar for Coffs Harbour with an exceptional offering of delicious craft beer, family friendly atmosphere, great food and a venue that is classy and welcoming. “Josh and Lucy have done a brilliant job in creating what is sure to be a highly successful locally run business, I can't wait to return,” said Patrick.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas By David WIGLEY

IT’S beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the Coffs CBD as a stunning Christmas tree with customised artwork was erected last Friday. Twelve local artists handmade over 300 decorations to create a unique Christmas tree that represents the region which the public can interact with. Local artist Sarah Lyttle was part of the working bee, bringing the magic of Christmas to the community. “The working bee was such a great night, a great opportunity to regain a sense of community, and meet and network with other artists, for a fun cause too,” said Sarah. There was a diverse collection of artists ranging

from an interior designer, to surface designer, ceramicists, illustrators, and even a realtime digital programmer who has had work featured at Vivid Festival Sydney, Beijing Design Week and the International Symposium of Electronic Arts. “Watching each of the artists transfer their individual and identifiable style on the decorations was the best part of the night,” said abstract landscape artist Kelly Finley. Erin Hughes from Noi Creations used her masterful sign-writing skills to label every single beach on our coast from Red Rock to Sawtell so viewers can search for their favourite local beach. Artists have also created a Christmas tree game of ‘eyespy’ for the community to

interact with. “When you go to see the Christmas tree, see if you can find a lizard drawn by local illustrator Mardi Davies, the little bees by Lauren Ginger Kelly, ‘Patrick the Starfish’ from Spongebob by Jimmy Wags, the bowling ball skull by Patrick Duthie, and many more,” said Sarah. Funded by Coffs City Centre to support local businesses, the working bee was held at Om Yeah Yoga Studio, which is due to reopen again after a long closure caused by the lockdown. Café Ophelia, OMG Decadent Donuts, Choc Daisy Raw Bar and the Produce Markets kept the artists sustained as they created over 300 handmade decorations for the community.

Botanic Garden Lake restoration plans in place By Andrea FERRARI PLANS are now in place to tackle the weedy problem at The North Coast Regional Botanic Gardens’ Japanese Garden Lake. Recently News Of The Area reported that the Friends of the Garden had been working with Coffs Harbour City Council’s Curator of the Botanic Garden, who is

CHH

actively investigating options for controlling the spread of this unwanted visitor. Over the past seven years several problems with aquatic weeds, both native and exotic have blighted the beauty of the Japanese Garden Lake. At present there’s the native mosquito fern (Azolla filiculoides) and duck weed (Lemna minor) infesting the lake surface with Parrot's

feather (Myriophyllum aquaticum) as a submerged weed problem. The Curator has previously implemented several strategies to combat these issues but the problem has persisted. Despite best efforts with hand removal, aerators (subsurface and surface) and several different water weed certified chemicals, all have resulted in

q Friends of the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden committee members: Secretary Rob Watt, Communications Officer Angela Lownie, and President Nola Miles.

q Plans afoot to rid the Japanese Lake of its weedy problem once and for all. poor results. So, to the new plans. • The intention now is to contract a weed harvester to remove the floating weed which also removes the excess nutrients from the lake. The number of aerators in the lake will be increased as will the flow hours of the waterfall. • The fountain will be removed, and the water flow will be used to create a current in the lake to ensure aerated water is dispersed throughout the lake’s water volume. • The lake will be treated with a natural product,

Diatomix (Nano nutrients for diatom regeneration) to develop a natural balance of the lake water. • A progress review will include monthly monitoring of the water quality and nutrient levels. Nola Miles, President, Friends of the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden told News Of The Area, “It is disappointing to both our visitors and our volunteers that previous attempts to resolve the issues with the lake have not met with success. “We will continue to work closely with Council staff for

however long it takes until the lake is restored. “I am encouraged with the research behind the latest strategy and looking forward to its implementation. “Our committee thanks Council for its collaboration. “We are immensely proud of the Japanese Pavilion and the associated lake with the ultimate goal being to give visitors the best possible experience. “Our dedicated volunteers and the Coffs Council employees, will also be encouraged as they see their efforts rewarded.”

Last Rides in BusBot Trial By Sandra MOON

COFFS Harbour public transport customers are the first in the world to travel on a fully automated bus in a public setting on the BusBot and have provided valuable feedback to keep the driverless trial going. The trialling of BusBot is in its final phase as the NSW Government extends its trial of world-leading driverless technology in a regional area. The innovative program is delivered by Busways and locals can catch the last rides, as part of the trial, on Saturday 27 November at the North Coast Regional Botanic

Gardens. During the trial BusBot has also taken passengers on the Marina and through Marian Grove Retirement Village. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the final phase of the BusBot trial sees the shuttle service continue to operate without a driver or a supervisor on board, as the NSW Government extends its trial of world-leading driverless technology in a regional area. Mr Singh said regional NSW is leading the way in exploring how automated vehicle technology can help deliver a more reliable and

accessible public transport offering. “BusBot has transported more than ten thousand locals and visitors through parts of Coffs Harbour since it was launched in partnership with operator Busways, tech provider EasyMile and Coffs Harbour City Council in December 2018. “The vehicle is showing the Coffs Harbour community what the future of transport looks like. “The regional BusBot trial has achieved many world firsts and has been a vital window into what lies ahead for commuters across the transport network,” he said.

q BusBot is monitored by remote supervisors.

q MP Stephen Bromhead and Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh met for the BusBot trial launch last year at the Botanic Gardens. “BusBot has laid the groundwork for the next stage in automated transport – larger-scale buses and more sophisticated technology in mixed traffic environments. “BusBot is also looking after customer needs right now by operating in a COVIDsafe way, with check-in, mask wearing and reduced capacity on the shuttle service.” Busways Managing Director Byron Rowe said the BusBot trial combined innovation with community needs in a real-world setting. “This is the pinnacle we have been working towards with careful and considered

steps for two-and-a-half years. “Success has relied on having the right partners at the table, including community, government and industry,” Mr Rowe said. EasyMile’s Managing Director for Asia-Pacific Greg Giraud said this next stage will provide vital information and shape future projects. “This is a critical step in the global move towards shared, driverless transport. “It is also a key contribution to the legal and regulatory framework for the public deployment of autonomous vehicles,” Mr Giraud said.

Managing Director of Busways, Byron Rowe, said, “The zero emissions BusBot is a great match for places like the Botanic Gardens where it can carry passengers quietly and unobtrusively, enabling people of all mobilities to enjoy the peaceful and pristine garden environment. “I’d like to congratulate the Coffs Harbour community for playing such a vital role in providing public feedback for the BusBot trial so far, which has been nationally recognised, winning the 2019 Australian Intelligent Transport Systems Award for Automated Vehicles.”

That’s a Christmas wrap By Andrea FERRARI

CHRISTMAS is all wrapped up and ready to go on Santa’s sleigh thanks to Woolgoolga Red Cross branch members. Working through their schedule of good deeds, members of Woolgoolga Red Cross branch recently donated a multitude of small gifts to the local Meals on Wheels organisation in preparation for Christmas delivery. The gifts were donated by members and friends of the Red Cross and wrapped with love by a team consisting of Kerry Chaffey, Judy Boyle and Jenny Wilks. Each gift bears a card from the Branch and goes with very best wishes for a happy Christmas.

Presented by President Carol Rowe to Meals on Wheels Coordinator Jenelle McGoldrick the gifts will be distributed to clients close to Christmas. “Despite an interrupted year with COVID restrictions curtailing many of the regular activities of the Branch our members are still focussed on helping others where they can, and this donation is just one way of showing engagement in the community. “This is the first year members have done this but we are sure that it will be repeated in the future,” Robyn Rooth, NSW Red Cross Board Member and Branch Patron told News Of The Area. Robyn is one of only three members who have been part

of the Branch for thirty years. “Our members embraced the activity with warm hearts...we felt that doing this activity in November ‘officially’ started Christmas for us which was fun. “Jenelle was delighted on behalf of Meals on Wheels.” Further information about the Branch and activities phone 0418 646 801.

Book launch by Emerald Beach author By Andrea FERRARI

LOCAL debut author Michel Vimal du Monteil finally launched his novel after two postponements. The title of his novel ‘Where There Is A Will’ rang true as Michel proved his firm will that this book would have a launch bash as is the tradition in publishing. After being postponed twice due to COVID constraints, the official launch was held last Friday, 19 November at the Coffs

Harbour Golf Club. “Unfortunately, the border closure between Queensland and New South Wales prevented Brisbanebased Hawkeye Publishing from attending,” Michel told News Of The Area. 70 guests were entertained by Emerald Beach resident Michel and his MC compere Peter Donkin, who drove up from Sydney for the occasion.

of the story to finally being published. “It was not an easy road,” said Michel. “Few publishers will look at a debut author unless they are already some kind of celebrity or their story has made headlines. “Preferably, a harrowing story — think drifting at sea for weeks or chopping off an arm from under a boulder.” Michel was lucky enough, via a chance encounter, to be signed up by New Authors Collective (NAC). “After a thorough review process by a panel of readers, an untold number

of rewrites and proofreads, and a few gentle rejections, ‘Where There Is A Will’ was taken on by Hawkeye Publishing. “The small, traditional Brisbane publisher was particularly attracted to the surfing themes and the intriguing plot. “After more fine-tuning and editing, the novel was at last sent to print, and advance copies were released last September. “Reader feedback has so far been enthusiastic.” The debut novel has been described as a great Aussie yarn, which captures the beauty and power of the

Coffs in Top 20 Holiday Spots By Sandra MOON

THE latest list from Booking. com places Coffs Harbour as number sixteen in the Top 20 domestic holiday destinations. The list of the Top 20 Most Searched Domestic Destinations for November to January by Australian users was released by Booking.com last week. The list is based on the top searched destinations by users from Australia during the month of October 2021. Booking.com’s Travel Predictions 2022 research was conducted among a sample of adults who plan to travel for business or leisure

in the next twelve to 24 months. Our sunshine, water and beaches are definitely a drawcard. According to Booking. com 84 percent of Australians agreed that seeing a body of water of some kind instantly improved their mood. And with 82 percent of Aussies reporting travelling helps their mental and emotional wellbeing more than other forms of rest and relaxation, Booking.com expects a travel surge in 2022. After lockdowns in Sydney and Melbourne recently lifted it is not surprising that destinations near the ocean were at the top of the list.

Queensland is a crowd favourite yet again, with the Gold Coast taking the number one spot in Booking.com’s Top 20 domestic destinations, followed by several other metropolitan cities. Coastal getaways appear next on the agenda for keen domestic travellers with Cairns, Airlie Beach, Noosa Heads and Byron Bay high on the list, making it clear Australian travellers are excited for some vitamin-sea this summer holidays. Various international border rumours were the talk of the town over the last year and now the debate can officially be settled as to where Aussies are most keen

to revisit. Fiji has rolled in as the number one most searched international destination

that Aussies are vying for, followed by Singapore, Dubai, London and Honolulu. With some of the most

Cancer Council’s Longest Day Golf Challenge By Andrea FERRARI

TWO self-confessed golfing ‘tragics’, Adam Crotty and Rick McKinnon have taken up Cancer Council’s The Longest Day Golf Challenge, attempting to play 72 holes in one go. Rained off this Sunday 21 November, the lads have deferred until Sunday 5 December, playing at C.ex Urunga Golf Course, telling News Of The Area (NOTA) the new date means they can raise even more funds and hope more golfers might be encouraged to register. “They are already far exceeding their goals, having raised $5,868 to date,” Lauren Fraser, Cancer Council’s Community Relations

q Adam Crotty and Rick McKinnon Teeing Off to raise money for Council Council

Coordinator, told NOTA. The Longest Day can be played at your local golf club with friends and fellow members any time throughout December with the official day being Monday, December 13. Participating in The Longest Day requires a minimum of two players who need to access four tee times across the day to complete the challenge. It is not necessary to play the full 72 holes. Adam is so enthusiastic about raising money for Cancer Council, believing it is a really good cause, stating, “You hear so many stories about friends and associates who have experienced this insidious disease, which makes you feel you really need to do something about it.” Many local Urunga businesses have come on board to support Adam with one such business being Kris Gladwell, Licensee of the Ocean View Hotel who has donated a whopping $1,500. Another generous contributor is Jimmy Elliott, owner of Embers Bar and Restaurant who has donated $200. Additionally, leading up to the event he’s creating Golf Pizzas featuring a golf flag, with $5 from every Pizza sold going to The Pilot Street Smackers Team. So far this team has raised a mammoth $5,000.

Lauren added, “Many Mid North Coast golf clubs have taken up the challenge to host The Longest Day including Coffs Harbour, Bellingen, Nambucca Heads, Sawtell, Macksville, Taree, Forster, Port Macquarie and South West Rocks, with some Clubs waiving their green fees for

those golfers entering the challenge. “It’s thanks to people like Adam and Rick along with the amazingly generous Urunga community that allows Cancer Council to continue its work in the community while also funding life-saving research.”

BELLINGEN Shire Council is reviewing its current Disability Inclusion Access Plan (DIAP) for 2022 – 2025.

The DIAP is an extremely important document which puts access and inclusion at the centre of council’s business. It guides Council in improving access to facilities, services, programs, and information in our Shire, so that people with

disabilities can participate in all areas of community life. The plan will be an integrated part of Councils Operational Plan and will identify strategies that will address four key areas of focus; developing positive community attitudes and behaviours, creating liveable communities, supporting access to meaningful employment and improving access to services through better systems and processes. The community, and especially members of the community with additional needs and carers of people with a disability, are encouraged to complete the survey available on the Bellingen Shire Council website: https://beta.bellingen. nsw.gov.au/Have-Your-Say/Have-Your-SayDisabilityInclusion-Access-Plan-2022-202. Hard copies of the survey are also available during business hours at the Bellingen Shire Council Administration Building, 33-39 Hyde Street, Bellingen and at the Dorrigo, Bellingen, and Urunga Libraries, during opening hours. Surveys need to be completed by Monday 31 January 2022. For further details please contact the Community Wellbeing Planning Officer on 6655 7300.

Greens’ $5M vision for Coffs Harbour economy q

Jonathan Cassell (centre) with Jenna Cash (L) and Lindy Davis.

Christmas is a magical time of year.

THE Coffs Harbour Greens have announced that in the next Council term they will push to create a Regional Employment and Investment Strategy to prioritise the health of the Coffs Harbour economy and environment. The plan, costed at $5M, is designed to create local jobs and investment opportunities for private landholders and also generate revenue for Council. Greens Mayoral Candidate Jonathan Cassell said, “The Greens are committed to strengthening Coffs Harbour’s economy in the next term of council while making sure we protect our environment. “Our regional investment plan will aim to generate revenue for both farmers as well as council through the creation of a business arm dedicated to managing carbon farming offsets.” Mr Cassell said leadership is needed in Council to take advantage of the emerging

Australian and global netzero carbon economy and that the Coffs Harbour region is well placed to grow its economy and create jobs that will reduce carbon emissions and strengthen biodiversity. “The plan has been costed to directly create over 30 new jobs in council as well as to support jobs in the private conservation land management sector,” he said. “There are lucrative grant options available to Council that we believe make this plan achievable, such as the $5B Future Drought Fund or Emissions Reduction Fund,” Mr Cassell said. “We know land managers in agriculture and conservation will benefit from our $5M plan over the next five years and we hope the community will support this at election time. “We don’t just want this plan to work, we need it to be a success so we can future proof our economy and environment. “We now need leadership in Council to develop the

plan.” Mountains to Sea Natural Area Management founder Lindy Davis supports Mr Cassell’s strategy. “There is so much work to be done in our region and, by properly funding bush regeneration programs, we can provide good jobs for young people, long term unemployed and older people. “The ecological restoration industry has the potential to address so many of the economic and environmental challenges in our region, as well as improving the health and wellbeing of our entire community. “I support this financial plan by the Coffs Greens because it will integrate my industry into our mainstream economy and it will pay for itself over and over again, protecting our unique natural areas while providing worthwhile employment and opportunities long into the future,” Ms Davis said.

Bongil Bongil Koalas Doing Well By Andrew VIVIAN MORE than 60 local community volunteers recently gave up their night time leisure to take part in the 2021 Bongil Community Koala Surveys (CKS) program, which entailed 3km walks along National Park tracks looking and listening for koalas after dark. For the fifth year running, koala numbers recorded during these 25 night surveys in Bongil Bongil National Park increased on the previous year’s tally. The surveys took place over five nights with 232 person nights of volunteer activity, which, at four hours per person per night, resulted in over 900 hours of volunteer supporter engagement during the program. At four points along designated 1500m routes on fire trails, groups stopped and played a recorded male koala territorial call three times, each for a minute and a half with a two-minute break for listening between each call. Answering calls from wild koalas nearby were recorded, as well as any koala sightings revealed through the use of powerful spotlights during the walk. Sightings of other animals were recorded as well. The 2021 survey season recorded 34 koala calls and sightings, which represents a 20 percent increase on the 28 recorded the previous year. The nine koalas seen appeared to all be healthy with no visible signs of illness and were found on all five tracks surveyed. This number represented a substantial increase on the three koalas sighted during the 2020 surveys.

Other creatures found included multiple individuals of the rare, funnel web-related large native spider Xamiatus kia, scores of Great Barred Frogs, many Striped Marsh Frogs, Bandy Bandy snakes, Golden Crowned snakes, Carpet Pythons, Sooty Owls, three wandering cats (two possibly from neighbouring properties) and many possums, microbats and small gliders. Owlet Nightjars, Boobook Owls, sugar gliders and bandicoots were heard, along with possibly, a new Yellow-Bellied Glider call record which could be a first in that section of the Park. The increase in koala records indicates that the work of National Parks and

Wildlife Service (NPWS) staff to stop habitat destruction and fragmentation, limit or neutralise fire impacts, reduce wild dog and fox predation, limit car strikes, reduce weed presence in core habitat areas, eliminate destructive human behaviour and proactively restore and rehabilitate forest gaps through broadscale koala feed tree plantings, can assist local koala numbers to recover and grow. Even on the last night when the survey teams set out in light drizzle that got progressively heavier, volunteers

enthusiastically undertook the work with diligence, camaraderie, intelligence and good humour. Survey coordinator, Ranger Martin Smith, said he was extremely grateful to all who were involved in an unique and enormously valuable long term monitoring project. He said the work of the volunteer survey teams is definitely helping the NPWS to better manage the wild koalas of Bongil Bongil National Park and that volunteers should all be proud of their contributions.

The Member for Coffs Harbour, Gurmesh Singh, said this was an incredible opportunity for students who are interested in the arts to be in ‘the room where it happens’. He said, “I’m so happy to see our students who have had such a tough year get this really wonderful opportunity to re-engage with something they love. “In addition to viewing the production, students will meet the cast and take part in several NIDA workshops, something I know drama students in my electorate will be really excited about,” Mr Singh continued. The Department of Education’s Arts Unit will select the students, with schools initially asked to nominate up to four students for the trip to Sydney for the ‘Hamilton’ experience. Teachers are also invited to apply to accompany the students. In addition, Coffs Coast schools impacted by natural disasters and the pandemic are encouraged to apply for the 2022 Minister’s Arts Recovery Grants. Mr Singh said grants of up to $10,000 would be available to support arts-based projects for students who had been impacted by natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic. The grants will be part of $700,000 to support students in affected communities through arts programs and initiatives including an arts based response to trauma. More information about the grants can be found at https://www.artsunit.nsw.edu. au/ministers-opportunities/ministers-artsrecovery-grants. For information about ‘Hamilton’ tickets go to https://www.artsunit.nsw.edu.au/ ministers-opportunities/resilience-artsprogram.

Free ‘Hamilton’ experience for students affected by COVID-19 COFFS Coast schools are invited by the NSW Government to nominate students who have been hit hard by COVID or natural disasters to have a unique ‘Hamilton’ experience. Tickets will go exclusively to performing arts students (years 10-12 in 2022) from regional and remote parts of the state, as well as from the hardest-hit LGAs in Sydney, where students spent more than 100 days under the toughest lockdown conditions. The ‘Hamilton’ experience is an initiative from the Minister for Education, Sarah Mitchell, aimed at helping rebuild arts in rural and remote school communities.

Nature Conservation Council hits the road By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Nature Conservation Council’s Chief Executive Chris Gambian and Deputy Chief Executive Jacqui Mumford visited the Mid North Coast last week as part of a ‘touching base’ road trip up the coast north of Sydney. The Council is the peak body for environment groups in NSW and Mr Gambian said that COVID-19 meant that face-to-face meetings with groups had not been held for some time. Approximately 40 people gathered at the Great Koala National Park Visitor and Information Centre in Urunga

to discuss issues such as deforestation, threats to koala habitat, the Great Koala National Park, the ‘Stand Up For Newry’ native forest blockade, woodchip exports from Newcastle and influencing NSW politics to protect nature. Ms Mumford told News Of The Area, “The two main issues on the Coffs Coast are habitat destruction and ‘biomass’.” She said that plans for the Redbank power station, which will use ‘biomass’ allows for logging up to 400km from Cessnock, which means that the southern forests on the Coffs Coast can

be logged for fuel. However, Ms Mumford said the Minister for Energy and Environment was moving in the right direction. “There are definitely some very positive things from the Minister and he has many opportunities to leave a legacy, the Great Koala National Park being one of them. “The future should be about transforming the economy by taking advantage of the beauty and natural assets on the Coffs Coast.” Kevin Evans, from the National Parks Association, and a major proponent of the Great Koala National Park,

skills which is easily accessed and navigated on a new digital curriculum platform. The new English curriculum has clear expectations on student reading progression and a renewed focus on handwriting.

THE State Government has released new English and Mathematics syllabuses for kindergarten, year 1 and 2. The Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning, Sarah Mitchell, said that for the first time the curriculum is completely online and comes with explicit teaching examples. This initiative will cost $13.6 million. NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said students would be the first to benefit from the changes, following the first comprehensive review in more than 30-years. “One of the most important things a government can do is provide a quality education and reform was needed to bring our curriculum into the 21st century,” Mr Perrottet said. “The new approach will ensure our youngest learners are provided with a solid foundation to grow from, with a focus on literacy and numeracy skills.” Ms Mitchell said, “The new online curriculum removes ambiguity for teachers, and comes with explicit teaching advice on an online platform. “This will be particularly helpful for early-career teachers.” According to the Minister, changes in the new K to 2 English and Mathematics syllabuses include simple, concise language which identifies key knowledge and

spectrum that the Great Koala National Park should be gazetted and that logging of native forests should end. He said native forest logging has already stopped in Western Australia and will be phased out in Victoria. Mr Gambian said the Nature Conservation Council is non-partisan but it is political and politicians of all persuasions should have to justify their views on nature. “Our role is to bring people together to do what they can’t do alone,” he said.

how the economy of the area would flourish and businesses in small towns on the boundaries of the Great Koala National Park will help people realise its benefits. Mr Gambian agreed, telling the audience that the Great Koala National Park should be a priority of people not just on the Coffs Coast, but across NSW and Australia, and that one day it will be an Australian icon like the Sydney Opera House. He said there is a growing realisation across the political

The emphasis in the new mathematics curriculum is on ‘reasoning’ in mathematics and advanced counting strategies.

There are also new supports for students with significant intellectual disability. Ms Mitchell has also announced $15 million for teachers to have extra release time to implement the new curriculum, and cited a previous announcement that 1,350 new Assistant Principals will be supporting 1,755 schools with K-6 enrolments with a focus on literacy and numeracy. Implementation begins next year, with all NSW schools teaching the syllabuses from 2023 and the Government hopes to deliver the new K-12 NSW Curriculum by 2024.

By Andrea FERRARI

TOM Lindsay, the co-founder with his brother Peter, of Lindsay Bros Transport, has passed away peacefully aged ninety. Tom’s widow Greta Lindsay has shared some memories of her husband with News Of The Area. Born in Coffs Harbour (Sunnyside Hospital in Elizabeth Street) on 18 May 1931, Tom grew up in Boambee and attended Boambee Public School, followed by St. Augustine’s Catholic School. In the early 1940s he picked peas and beans locally before and after school, handing his wage to the family. Following an early life banana and tomato farming, Tom set off for Sydney and worked for Unilever in the Pears Soap division. By the age of 21 he had made enough money to return to Coffs Harbour and with his older brother Peter, each put 500 pounds into a deposit to purchase three secondhand five-ton Ford trucks from their father. This was the start of Lindsay Bros

q Transport industry icon and Boambee boy Tom Lindsay passes, aged 90.

Transport, in March 1953. Their first ‘Mechanics Workshop’ was a vice attached to a timber log. Tom and Peter drove trucks every day for the first ten years, originally carting fruit and vegetables to Newcastle and Sydney markets. As the business grew, they backed off driving in order to manage their growing business. Tom has a raft of accolades to his name for contribution to the industry. During Tom’s time at Lindsay Bros he was also involved in managing a 200-acre farm at Hyde’s Creek, north of Bellingen, planting 25 acres of bananas, growing beans, peas and tomatoes, together with a few acres of citrus. He added a dairy, and eventually the farm expanded to the stage that they had five share-farmers working on the property. During his time at Lindsay Bros he was also involved in earthmoving, a garden centre, a crane company, brick wholesaling, four service stations, rebuilding and managing Bonville Golf Resort. In 2002 following the death of Peter in 1999, Tom presided over the transition of the private Lindsay Brothers into the Corporate Lindsay Australia Limited and stayed on as a Director for several years. Tom was a member of the Coffs Harbour Rotary Club for over 40 years where he served on the committee, was the President of the Club and was awarded a Paul Harris Fellow for his service to Rotary International. Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour, told News Of The Area, “Like many in Coffs Harbour, I was deeply saddened to hear of Tom’s passing. “He will be remembered not only for his professional career managing Lindsay’s Transport and helping develop Bonville Golf Resort, but also for the way he lived his life. “Not a day was wasted, and he lived a full and meaningful life. “I have always appreciated his support and guidance – Coffs Harbour will miss him.”

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

By Manny WOOD

Blended families and the risks involved with ‘mutual wills’ JOHN and Sandra are married. They each have two children from a previous relationship. They attend an appointment with a solicitor regarding their estate planning with a view to making arrangements that provide for each other whilst ensuring that ultimately, all of their children receive equal shares of their estates. The solicitor advises them that they can make “mutual wills” and enter into an agreement, not to change their wills. They proceed with executing wills that leave the whole of their estates to each other when the first of them passes and when the last of them passes away, their estate is distributed between all four children. They sign a separate document, stating that they agree not to change their wills which includes a provision that states that apart from meeting their ordinary living expenses, they will not intentionally diminish their estates. When John passes away, he has $300,000 in his bank account. John’s son, Peter is concerned that if Sandra receives the money, he will not receive a share. He is concerned that Sandra may make a new will, waste the money or give it away to her children. He is of the view that if Sandra does not honour the terms of her agreement with John, there will be insufficient funds in her name to warrant taking her to court. Peter commences action in the Supreme Court, challenging the provisions of John’s will, seeking an immediate lump sum. The Court states that there is no evidence of a real risk that Sandra would change her will and given the relatively small size of the estate, dismisses Peter’s claim. However, Peter’s concerns were valid and the present approach to estate planning in blended family situations is to avoid mutual wills in favour of establishing flexible life interests. If YOU would like a particular issue addressed, please email me at manny@tblaw.net.au or call me on (02) 66 487 487.

DEAR Jasminda,

I AM always confused about the appropriate sign off in an email. There are so many options, and none of them feels quite right. What do you recommend? Yours, Mr Andrew G.

Time to wake up to human impacts on our world DEAR News Of The Area,

ONE does not have to be a scientist to understand that digging up or extracting materials that have been sequestered beneath the earth’s surface for millions of years and then burning them would inevitably damage the very environment that put them there in the first place. It is only common sense. This however has been the course of mankind without question since the Industrial Revolution. Until now. Now we are beginning to see the destructive effects of these actions. Glacial retreat, permafrost melt, ice melt, rising oceans, rising temperatures, the increasing of the number and the extremity of ‘weather events’, and the slow unravelling of the connections of the biological world that maintained the

natural balance. The inevitable outcome of this situation is uncertainty and insecurity, as we begin to realise that we erroneously thought that the world of past generations would go on indefinitely. Today, manifestly, this is not the case. However we are subjected to ‘leaders’ who would like us to believe the opposite, that somehow if you leave them in power our lives will remain the same. The holes in this disingenuous message are plainly obvious. If the world is changing around us we, and the everts in our lives, will also change. Yet societies today vote in governments that have policies that stem from an ideology of denial and obfuscation, that ultimately will undermine any future hope of certainty or security for the next generations, denying any continuation of the world as we once knew

Thankyou Adam! DEAR News Of The Area, LAST Thursday when driving along Hogbin Drive I had a puncture. A young man named Adam stopped and offered

to change the tyre which he did very efficiently. A young lady also stopped to offer help. Last November, we moved from WA to Coffs Harbour.

it.

It is time democratic societies globally begin to see there is a lot to do in a little time. To see through the motivations of governments beholden to destructive corporations and big money, who act only in their selfinterest and not the interests of the society as a whole, preferring to operate from an agenda informed by hubris, egotism and dishonesty. It is time, as an informed engaged society, to try to work together with politicians who acknowledge the seriousness of the situation we are now in, who will try to work at and formulate policies that respond to the present reality honestly, and if there is some sacrifice to be made to ensure our future survival then so be it. The alternatives being offered at the moment is a road to nowhere. Regards, Donald ORR, Urunga. We have met very many good, generous and thoughtful people here. We feel very fortunate. Thank you Adam and the young lady. Regards, Val CROOK, Boambee East.

Support-a-Family this Christmas By Sandra MOON

CHRISTMAS is a time for giving. Four charities in Coffs Harbour are working together to enable people to give to families who need some extra help this year at Christmas via the Support-a-Family Christmas Appeal.

News Of The Area was able to support the endeavour. The St Vincent de Paul Society is one of several charities who have compiled a list of families in the area in need and are asking for the Coffs community to help those in the community who are struggling to make ends meet. The society works

throughout the year to assist people requiring help with bills, food items, clothing and more. The society is joined by three other charities to bring joy this year to locals in the community. Life House Care, The Salvos, Lifeline and Vinnies are working together to continue the program, the

Support-a-Family Christmas Appeal, similar to one run locally in previous years, the Adopt a Family Appeal. The communitybased Christmas hamper style appeal encourages supporters to buy Christmas items such as gifts, non perishable food, decorations and so on that will transform a family’s holiday this year.

Dear Andrew, WELL, for a start, I wouldn't sign off an email to a person you don't know as 'yours'. I mean, you're not mine, are you? There's a fair degree of intimacy suggested in that sign off, or else a bit of laziness due to hacking off the 'sincerely' or 'faithfully'. It's a good question though, and one that I already spend far too much time thinking about, so thank you for extending my convoluted ruminations. Do we have to reply with a kiss 'x', if that is how the sender has signed off? Are sign offs such as 'cheers' far more suited to time spent around a beer keg than the end of an email letting you know your sales report is overdue? Recently I read a delightful letter penned from an upset young girl to her family, which she had taped to her closed bedroom door. It was signed off, with wisdom and acuity beyond her years, 'Unhappy regards'. I suggested to her mother that I was tempted to sign off on all correspondence in this way, and then added a few more suggestions: Sincerely disappointed; Cheerless; Unkind regards; Yours unfaithfully. Her mother added a few more: Sincerely someone else's; Without love; Disapprovingly. Now surely these are far more appropriate for correspondence relating to unpaid bills, updates to terms of service, relationship breakdowns, and bonus Flybuys points notifications, among other examples. Or you could just go with some obnoxious Latin phrase that gives people false hope and visions of grandeur. Carpe diem, Jasminda. See page 29 for a list of families requiring assistance.

OPINION & LETTERS

Should we support current Councillors? DEAR News Of The Area,

SHOULD we really be supporting any of the current Councillors to represent us for another

term? Whichever side of the fence you sit on, it is hard to deny that they are all culpable in allowing the current situation to occur

and causing the citizens to be effectively at war with our leaders and each other. They were all on Council when our new Art

Gallery transformed into new Council Chambers. They did not challenge the General Manager and they did not inform and warn the community that the game

had changed completely. They should not be rewarded for this failure of leadership. We need a completely new team that can work

towards making our city the best place to live on the coast. Regards, Christine LUBANS, Sapphire Beach.

Coffs Harbour is broken (not) Plaques detracting from Sawtell Headland DEAR News Of The Area,

DEAR News Of The Area, SAWTELL Headland is a magnificent place to visit on both warm days and wild and windy ones. Unfortunately, it is becoming a bit of a mausoleum with plaques being glued on to various rocks to commemorate lost loved ones who obviously also loved this space. I understand the desire of relatives and friends to commemorate loved ones who have lost their lives, in sometimes horrific

circumstances, but the proliferation of various plaques is now detracting from this special place. I wonder if Coffs Council would consider erecting a memorial or art work on the headland that people could use to add names of loved ones, if they feel the need to express their love of the ocean, and to prevent too much human intervention in a lovely natural spot. Regards, ROSE, Sawtellian.

HOW refreshing to read Peter Lewis' letter of November 20. I would like to congratulate the Council on being given a big tick for its current financial management, and the Coffs Harbour regional Gallery for winning the 2022 Dobell

Exhibition Grant. The gallery consistently punches above its weight and adds this award to a long list of successes. For more than a year we have been bombarded with allegations that Coffs Harbour is broken and needs fixing and many people have been deceived.

The truth is, Coffs Harbour is doing very well, while wrestling with seemingly intractable issues such as homelessness and waste management which call for input from higher levels of government. These will be issues to confront an incoming council.

Bring on the elections DEAR News Of The Area, I TOTALLY agree with George Partos (Can Councillors be held accountable?, p37, Coffs Coast News Of The Area, 19 November Edition) regarding councillors being accountable for their

actions and definitely to disclose what the majority of the community wants, especially when it comes to large expenditures - we all know what I'm talking about! Perhaps this monstrosity which is only a quarter way through its

build could be put to better use, like an Entertainment Centre, even though there is not adequate parking in that area. We have a Library and Art Gallery already and the Library is not exactly crowded at any one time. I take my hat off to

It is also refreshing to see the approach of several mayoral candidates who acknowledge that Coffs harbour is doing well and who aim to make the city even better. Now that's my kind of candidate. Regards, Margaret ENGLAND, Korora.

George Partos who has fought the good fight and especially of making the community aware of what's going on. Bring on the elections, out with the old and in with the new, and good luck to all us residents of Coffs Harbour. Regards, D WILSON.

Times Gone By - Homicide What do candidates at Coffs Harbour: In the think about go by Line of Duty (Part 6) gone

Times By Karen FILEWOOD

AFTER remarking that he felt much better after his confession, Friske agreed to take Constable May to the scene of the crime and show him how he murdered Matts Matteson, along with the site where he initially threw Matteson’s leg. He then sat down to a hearty breakfast of bread and butter, meat and a cup of tea before returning to his selection with the constable and a small party to reenact the crime. The following day, during the inquest on the leg, he again returned to the scene to recreate his actions in the presence of the constable, coroner and jury, pointing out a stick, burnt at one end and explaining that

it was used to ‘poke up the body’ to make it burn. The next day, a Sunday, Constables May and Reynold escorted Friske to Grafton gaol and on their arrival in the evening, the prisoner was handed over to Edward King, the governor. On King’s enquiry asking what was wrong, Friske explained his extreme tiredness and admitted to having a sore hand, alleging that his victim had bitten him, despite telling Constable May he had accidentally burnt it. He was then settled into the gaol where he was detained until his trial, scheduled for ten weeks’ time. Although events quietened down while awaiting Friske’s trial, after an interval of

three weeks, Constable May was requested by the Attorney General, Mr W B Dalley, to exhume the buried leg, place it in spirits and send it to Grafton in readiness for Friske’s trial. Though a rather repulsive request, the constable carried out his instructions, but almost lost his life in doing so. Contracting blood poisoning in his left arm, he sought treatment in Grafton’s hospital and remained there for approximately four months, having to undergo eleven operations. Although he lost use of that arm for some time, he gradually recovered, though he went on to experience the occasional relapse which affected him for the remainder of his life.

the Bypass? Dear News Of The Area,

INTERESTINGLY, I haven't seen any comments from the Coffs Council election candidates about the Coffs Bypass and its impact on Coffs' residents during construction and future operation. Would they like to provide their thoughts? Regards, Michael ALEXANDER, Coffs Harbour.

We've got you covered Coffs!

WELL-KNOWN young humanitarian and Woolgoolga Public School student Olive Elliott has been named the 2021 New South Wales Junior Ambassador to The Fred Hollows Foundation at a ceremony for the Humanity Award earlier this month. The Humanity Award is a national initiative of The Fred Hollows Foundation that acknowledges Year 6 students who follow in Fred’s footsteps by demonstrating humanitarian values towards others. The Award celebrates those who show compassion, integrity, and kindness towards others, and Olive was chosen out of 43 NSW nominees for the award. Young Olive was nominated by her teacher, Karen Enersen, for her generous and altruistic nature. “Olive is one half of a duo called the ‘Kindness Crusaders’, who show kindness to people needing help in their community of Woolgoolga,” Mrs Enersen said. “Olive has made Christmas gifts for each resident of a local nursing home and collected vouchers from local businesses to assist a person with cancer, a young teenager recovering from an accident, and local flood and fire victims.

Made With Love For Christmas By Sandra Moon

WHAT better time to shop from local artisans than when global supply chains are delayed due to the pandemic? Made with Love Markets organiser Alison Paul told News Of The Area that spending your money locally is the best way to support communities affected by fires, floods and COVID-19. “Our community has endured a lot over the past twenty four months. “Horrific bushfires, heart breaking floods and a lifechanging pandemic,” she said. “It’s now more important than ever to support local.” Ms Paul is urging the

community this silly season to spend their Christmas dollars with the local artisans. “Forget online shopping, forget spending your hardearned money out of town - spend your money here in Coffs. “Keep your money local,” said Ms Paul. The upcoming market is on November 28 and has over 130 stalls booked for the Christmas market. “Spending your Christmas dollars at the market will mean every cent spent goes straight into the pocket of small local businesses. “From Paper Posies, two high school friends who create bunches of everlasting flowers, to Wood We Create, a

local Dad who carves objects from locally sourced wood, through to Takara Too, a Mum who makes stunning pottery and jewellery. All the money spent at these stalls, and all the others, stays right here on the North Coast,” said Ms Paul. With a mix of regular stallholders and lots of new ones, the common theme is that everything is handmade or created. You can find everything from plants, gourmet foods, soaps, candles, upcycled creations, cakes, toys, gorgeous baby and kids clothing, fantastic jewellery, artwork, hair accessories, greeting cards, furniture, toys and much

more! The Made with Love Markets is a registered Covidsafe business, and organisers ask customers to follow social

these connections in the formation of a working party to drive a Centenary Committee.” Anyone who is interested in being part of the Centenary Committee can contact Michael Hepi on 66531666 or through email Michael.hepi@det. nsw.edu.au. “To kick off our centenary planning we’ve embarked on fundraising. “The fundraising invites any individual, family or organisation who has had any connection with Sawtell Public School to purchase a paver with their name engraved. “The engraved paver

will be used in the formation of a nature habitat and sensory garden walkway for students. “This pathway, our Centenary Memory Walkway, will complement the school’s concept master plan which was developed in consultation with the school community five years ago.” The fundraiser has been shared across social media and has attracted interest from former students, families, and staff members.

to support communities to innovate actions that strengthen community and personal resilience to prepare for future disasters,” Anton Juodvalkis, OzGREEN’s CEO told News Of The Area. Commencing February 2022, the ten-month program sees facilitators build skills and hands-on experience using OzGREEN's award winning engagement process. Community facilitators will be trained to deliver community resilience workshops which cover eight topics including fire, community health, food, water, energy, infrastructure

and the economy. OzGREEN’s Resilient Communities Coordinator, Kathleen Hannah said, “Engaging local people to lead this program is key because groups can focus on challenges that are specific to their location and environment. “Local people have the local knowledge and they know what their community needs. “Our program simply provides a structure and a process that inspires and empowers participants to generate ideas for change and assists groups to identify

tangible actions they can achieve on a personal or community level - taking control of their own resilience and disaster preparedness. “Resilient Communities is a unique and fantastic opportunity for motivated people to develop important leadership skills including group facilitation, project management and public speaking skills with significant training and support from OzGREEN.” “We love that this program is building community

connections and creating a network of like-minded people that can facilitate grassroots change across our region, which is so needed at this time,” said Anton. There are limited places available and OzGREEN is inviting community members of the Coffs Coast and Hinterland, Nambucca Valley, Clarence Valley and Macleay Valley areas to apply before 30 November.

their single-use plastics, particularly those who take their own reusable bags to the shops. The NSW Government has also established a legislative framework to tackle harmful and problematic plastics through the setting of design standards, with the first design standard for microbeads in cosmetic and personal care items, to ensure that microbeads are phased out from 1 November, 2022.

The ‘Plastics and Circular Economy Act 2021’ will prohibit the supply of lightweight plastic bags from 1 June, 2022, and the supply of other items will be prohibited from November 1, 2022, including singleuse plastic straws, cutlery, stirrers, cotton buds, plates and bowls, and expanded polystyrene foodservice items. More information can be found at www.dpie.nsw.gov. au/plastics.

Single-use plastics to be phased out in NSW By Andrew VIVIAN

IN good news for animals (particularly marine animals), birds and the environment generally, the ‘Plastics and Circular Economy Act 2021’ passed NSW Parliament last week, signalling that the end is nigh for single use plastics, including bags, straws, cotton buds, plates, bowls and cutlery. Plastic packaging and single-use plastics make up

60 percent of litter across the state. The Member for Coffs Harbour, Gurmesh Singh, said that phasing out singleuse plastics from June next year will result in less litter on our streets, parks and waterways. “This plan helps reduce the harmful impact of these products on the environment while also encouraging the development of new and innovative products,” he said. Mr Singh said, “This

legislation is expected to stop 2.7 billion single-use items from ending up in our natural environment and waterways over the next 20 years, and is a game-changer in the fight against plastic waste across our state.” The legislation means that NSW joins the ACT, South Australia and Queensland, where most single-use plastics are already banned, and Victoria and Western Australia, where full bans will be implemented during

2023. Businesses will be supported to transition to alternative products before the phase outs come into effect. Exemptions will also apply for members of the community who rely on particular single-use plastics for disability or health needs. Mr Singh said it’s encouraging to see many businesses and households have already voluntarily taken action to reduce

LEGO MASTERS BRICKSMAS SPECIAL

NBN, 7pm

SATURDAY

THE LARKINS

ABC, 7.30pm

There are times for hard-hitting drama, and there are times for a cup of tea with two spoonfuls of sugar: welcome to The Larkins. More than 30 years after The Darling Buds of May series, this adaptation doesn’t try to rewrite the story one iota. It’s a smart move – the world could do with sweetness and this dramedy oﬀers it in spades. There’s a danger that fans of the original won’t appreciate the nostalgia, but new viewers are likely to fall in love with the large working-class Larkin family from 1950s rural Kent. The meandering story, starring Bradley Walsh and Joanna Scanlan (pictured), features some wonderfully over-the-top sets.

No longer the new kid on the block, this Aussie rendition of the British format is arguably the most popular version in the world. This Hamish Blake-led (pictured), family-friendly romp has now clocked up three seasons, making it the longestrunning LEGO Masters anywhere. Now, a festive Christmas special with a bevy of well-known guests is proving again that good things come in small packages. In tonight’s jubilant ﬁnale, Sophie Monk, Scott Cam, Brooke Boney and their teammates have one last hurrah before ﬁnding out who will be crowned the LEGO Masters Bricksmas winners. It’s a colourful spectacle which would have been perfect Christmas Eve fare.

Tonight, Adam Liaw (above) presents an excellent episode revolving around the “party plate”. He’s joined by cookbook author and wife of legendary singer Jimmy Barnes, Jane Barnes and MasterChef Australia judge Jock Zonfrillo, who generously share their party recipes. 2611

Dosanjh was confident his side could achieve victory on Day 2. “Chasing 280 will always be a fair challenge, but we are a good chance if the wickets dry and the outfield is as fast as Saturday,” he said.

“The outfield was very fast and it’s a great batting deck, it all depends on the rain.” The Rebels are looking for their second win in a row to start the Premier League season, while Harwood are looking for their first victory of the 2021/22 season.

Seniors Festival grants for the Coffs Coast By Andrea FERRARI

SENIORS WEEK 2022 grants are being announced with two Coffs Coast recipients gaining a share of $200,000 in NSW Government funding to host a community event to celebrate the 2022 Seniors Festival to be held from 25 March 2022 to 3 April 2022. The 2022 theme will be Reconnect, an ode to reconnecting after a socially and physically distanced year. Our local recipients are: Coffs Harbour City Council with its Reconnecting Seniors Towards Positive, Healthy and Empowered Ageing ($7,000) and East Coast Accessibility Experts for their Seniors Celebration - Art Therapy, ($800). “Our seniors play a vital role in our community as volunteers, carers and grandparents and we want

to recognise and reward their contribution with activities tailored to their interests,” said Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour. News Of The Area spoke with Alison Henery from East Coast Accessibility Experts, a not-for-profit organisation providing modifications and maintenance to support people living safely in their own home and community. “The grant provides us with the opportunity to engage with our community and to celebrate our elders in social activities through Seniors Week which provides us with as much enjoyment as the people attending. “We are always looking for new activity ideas to keep everyone interested and engaged. “This year we have held four ‘Art Therapy’ events, and we run three strength and

balances classes each week throughout the year where the participants increase their strength, flexibility and laugh their way through the classes when they are not concentrating. “The participants attending have made new friendships where they often socialise after the class by meeting for a coffee. “Gurmesh telephoned on Friday to personally deliver the good news that we were successful in our grant application.” Cath Harnack, 72, from Toormina attends both the Art Therapy events and the Strength and Balances classes and is looking forward to what Seniors Week holds. “I really enjoy the art classes for the social side – we have a really good laugh while doing something we wouldn’t normally do.

Sawtell Surf Club call for volunteers By Andrea FERRARI

RETIREES, sea-changers and anyone with that rare commodity of time on their hands, are encouraged to consider volunteering at Sawtell Surf Life Saving Club. Sheena McTackett, President, told News Of The Area, “We need more people involved as the club evolves and older members move on from their roles. “Active retirees looking to contribute to the community and use the skills from their past careers would be most welcome. “Sea-changers moving into the area and seeking to connect with the community would also find this a great way to make new friends and contribute to their new

hometown. “It’s not so much about stepping into the club’s big roles or patrolling the beach, it’s more in admin, finance, project management and managing bookings for the auditorium – these roles are really important to the dayto-day running of the club. “SSLSC delivers a service to the community saving lives

The 2022 Seniors Week Festival is planned to be held at the Boambee East Community Centre, however there are a range of activities leading up to the event, designed to improve access to technology for older people. Participants regionally will be able to benefit from the information, demonstrations, entertainment, and live online chats with the providers. Attendance in these

virtual activities will increase knowledge, experience, and skills in a variety of relevant topics around ageing well in our community. Coming out of the COVID pandemic, this event is important in reducing the isolation and loneliness reported amongst seniors, and will contribute to the improvement of health and wellbeing of older people in the community.

$10k thank you to Coffs SES By Andrea FERRARI

A $10,000 donation has been made to NSW SES Coffs Harbour City Unit by Handybin Waste Services and Biomass Solutions, as a thank you for their supportive additional work after October’s devastating hailstorm. The businesses joined forces to donate $10,000 to say thank you and to acknowledge the SES for their hard work and dedication in the aftermath of the natural disaster. Staff from both companies suffered property damage during the storm but were able to continue the much-needed collection of extraordinary waste and processing for the community thanks to the hard work of the SES securing so many local properties. Alex Guise, Operations Manager at Biomass Solutions, told News Of The Area, “The hailstorm was quite insane. “Both companies had staff affected and between us we just wanted to say thank you to the SES, and for them to use the money to make their life easier. “Waste services are critical

Coffs ranks number one for affairs By Sandra MOON

KICKING off the summer with a bang takes new meaning as Coffs Harbour ranks number one on sexy hotspots for affairs over summer. Dating company Ashley Madison says that Coffs Harbour is the top city for cheaters in the country over summer. After two years of lower rankings, Coffs Harbour has regained the notorious number one spot. However Queenslanders

retain the title of being most inclined to cheat, taking out nine of the twenty cities on the list. The company has learned within the past two years that lockdown has been a catalyst for infidelity, while people have been stuck at home with their spouse. “Australia has had some of the longest, strictest COVID lockdowns in the world and there’s finally light at the end of the tunnel now,” says Isabella Mise, Ashley Madison’s Senior Director of Communications.

q Coffs Harbour is ranked Australia’s number one city for summer cheating by Ashley Madison.

According to the Love Beyond Lockdown Report by Ashley Madison, “Couples are engaging in little to no physical intimacy with each other despite increased time at home together, few social or professional encounters if any - outside the home, and virtually no change to their typically active libido.” Many Ashley Madison members reported a decrease in attraction to their primary partner and exacerbated annoyance over cohabitation habits since the beginning of the COVID-19

$2.5M development plans at C.ex Woolgoolga By Emma DARBIN

PLANS to undertake $2.5m worth of alterations and additions to the C.ex Woolgoolga Bowling Club have been lodged with Coffs Harbour City Council this month. The alterations and additions include extending the club’s alfresco gaming area, a new terrace area, a new alfresco dining area, new awnings and a new exit driveway. The changes are planned to provide a greater emphasis on gaming and lounging by converting a currently underutilised multi-purpose/ function room space within the club. Specifically, the proposed development includes relocating the gaming area

into the existing multipurpose room, extending the lounge area and adding new covered alfresco dining, gaming and lounge areas. It is also proposed to relocate the reception desk, office and amenities. The proposal includes demolition works and some structural alterations to incorporate the proposed alfresco areas, as well as construction of a new exit driveway onto Boundary Street, Woolgoolga. “It is believed that the proposed changes will add more value for guests and the operators,” development application documents stated. “While the bulk, scale and positioning of the building would remain the same, some minor changes to the

Woopi Scouts camp out at Moonee By Andrea FERRARI

SCOUTS from 1st Woolgoolga Scout Group have finally been able to get the ‘out’ back into Scouting again with a recent two-night camp in the local area of Moonee. Moonee Beach Heritage Park owners, and huge Scouting fans, Angela and Kevin generously offered their bush property for the camp which saw the Scouts complete a series of activities and challenges for a fun weekend. Janine Mackie, Group Leader told News Of The Area, “The Scout motto Be Prepared came into action with Scouts being required to carry out various tasks over the weekend using the Scout Patrol system for a successful camp to occur. “In the week prior they had to plan a menu based on a budget, organise and pack their equipment, then on arrival set up their campsite and camp kitchen and lastly make their campfire.”

Scout leader Kate Dean, with the assistance of Bill Flicker and Group Leader Janine Mackie, set a series of activities and challenges throughout the weekend where the Scouts worked

towards their badge work and the award scheme which provides recognition of individual achievement. Activities for the weekend included Scouts completing a 13km bike ride and a coastal

Urge for Teens to Get Vaccinated By Sandra MOON

HEALTHY North Coast is urging families to get their twelve to fifteen year olds vaccinated before school holidays. Healthy North Coast’s Chief Executive Officer Julie Sturgess says with school holidays only weeks away, now is the time for parents and carers to make vaccination of our younger teen residents a priority. For twelve years and over the Pfizer (Comirnaty) and Moderna (Spikevax) vaccines are approved for use. “We know families are

making holiday plans as the end of the school year approaches and we would love to see vaccination of our twelve to fifteen year olds as part of that preparation,” Ms Sturgess said. “Even one dose gives greater protection than none,” she said. According to Ms Sturgess this is the best way to protect our young people’s health this holiday season. For people aged twelve to fifteen, consent is required from a parent or guardian at booking and at the appointment. If the parent or guardian

is unable to attend the appointment, a nominated accompanying adult can be identified during the booking process. “Our GPs, pharmacies, pop-up clinics and Aboriginal medical services will continue to vaccinate everyone who is eligible. “After-school and weekend walk-ins at pharmacies are handy for busy families, though many parents also love the certainty of a vaccination booking,” she said. National data shows 73 percent of people aged twelve to fifteen are already vaccinated with their first dose and 59 percent are vaccinated with two doses. Regional data is currently not available for this age

competitors were David Rumer, 32, who’s a good upand-coming young axeman, and Curtis Bennet, who started young and is now an under-21 representative for Australia. “Tommy Gill, aged nine, a Glen Innes lad, gave a promising performance in the 11-inch Underhand competition.” Peter supplies the wood for most of the carnivals in the area and has been in the game

group. “Once supply arrived in the region, the North Coast community came out in force to ensure we have the best protection possible against the worst of COVID,” Ms Sturgess said. “We are currently sitting at 88.4% of eligible residents 16 years and over now fully vaccinated, which is greater than the national average of 83% for double-dose vaccinations.” Most North Coast Local Government Areas are now over 80 double vaccinated, with Byron Shire, currently at 79 percent double-dosed, soon to tip that point as well. “Next week, we will surge past the ninety percent fully

Snappers Coach Brendan Hoy was pleased with the progress the team has made. “Very happy with the performance of the Snappers, we went one better than the last tournament to finish third. “We lost to the two finalists, which are both quality sides, we ran out of players in the last couple of games with three out because of injuries but the guys showed heaps of courage to

win the last game to finish third. “We improved throughout

the day and we are looking forward to the last one in Yamba in a couple of weeks,”

All eight men’s teams and

six women’s teams travel to Yamba on 4 December for the third and final round of the series. The Cannonballs and Marlins go into round three as joint leaders in the men’s competition and Wauchope Thunder and Casuarina Beaches Barbarians are the joint leaders in the women’s competition.

North Coast 7s - Marlins Joint Leaders Going Into the Final Round By David WIGLEY

THE SCU Marlins breezed through the group stages of the North Coast 7s last Saturday at C.ex Coffs International Stadium, notching up four wins and losing to the Kempsey Cannonballs in the final. The Marlins defeated the Cannonballs in round one in Grafton but this time the tables were turned as the boys from Kempsey stayed strong in their fifth match of the day to win round two. With a first and second place apiece the Marlins and Cannonballs go into the third and final round in Yamba as the joint leaders and favourites for the men’s competition. The Marlins won all of their matches in the group stages defeating Byron Bay Rugby Club, Casuarina Beaches Barbarians and Richmond Range Rugby Club to set up a semi-final clash with cross-town rivals the

Coffs Harbour Snappers. The Marlins opened the scoring with a mazy run from Pete Uikulotu who was too hot to handle as he left a trail of defenders in his wake. Chris Watkins added to the scoreboard, breaking through the back line and sprinting the length of the pitch to score. Ethan Duncombe dived over the try line for the Marlins and Beau Mokotupu wrapped up the match with

a penetrating run down the left wing to set up another final. Marlins captain and coach AJ Gilbert told News Of The Area it was another cracking weekend of rugby played in the right spirit. “It was another cracking weekend for round two of the North coast 7s series, the standard of all teams definitely went up after the first round in Grafton. “We had some solid wins

over Byron Bay, Casuarina, Richmond Range and then the Snappers in the semis. “Once again we played Kempsey in the final and it was another epic game. “Unfortunately some horror injuries for our boys

The six-week season has featured both a men’s and women’s draft league as well as social and junior competitions, with the first two rounds having been completed. After waiting three months for a return to the court, Coffs Harbour Basketball Association staff member Stephanie Rickards told News Of The Area the basketball community had responded well to the new season. “It's been really good and busy with more than 400 junior and senior

players jumping in,” she said. “The draft concept has been very popular, and there have been lots of people who have been keen to get back on the court.” The grand finals of the mini-season will be played in December.

Sawtell Golf Club host Memorial Pink Day By Aiden BURGESS

SAWTELL Golf Club members have hit the greens wearing pink for a great cause and to honour the memory of a former breast cancer survivor. Sawtell Golf Club held its Raewyne Leeds Memorial Pink Day to help raise money for Breast Cancer Research. Raewyne Leeds was a breast cancer survivor for over 20 years who passed away earlier this year. She helped to organise and sponsored the Annual Breast Cancer Fundraiser Day at Sawtell Golf Club for many years and was adamant the

day should be fun and full of camaraderie. The Raewyne Leeds Memorial Breast Cancer Fundraiser saw 78 of the Sawtell Golf Club ladies members, friends, staff, and even one or two male playing members dress up and play in pink, as pink wigs and tutus featured amongst the sea of pink. The annual Tee Off for Breast Cancer event was a 4 Person Ambrose Casino Royale format, which raised over $5000 for cancer research through raffles, the club professionals being paid to take the players drives, and various donations.

Lee Stewart has helped to organise the annual event after she herself was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. She shared with News Of The Area the memories of the woman who this year's event honoured. “Raewyne was very vivacious and a very happy person,” she said. “She wanted the event to be a fun day in which we raise money for cancer research. “One of Raewyne’s things was that she wanted everyone on the day to be included and to receive pins and trophies for participating, that was one of her big things.”

As a cancer survivor herself, Lee found it uplifting to see the Sawtell Golf Club in

a sea of pink each year. “It’s very exhilarating to see it the first time it was

done, and it’s very uplifting and makes you feel like you're not alone,” she said.

Flanagan wins Coffs Harbour crown BILLY Flanagan is the king of the Coffs Harbour Golf Club after the teenager claimed his first club championship on the weekend. Having lost last year’s championship in a thrilling playoff, Flanagan left nothing to chance this year. The 19-year-old started the championships with an impressive 66 and after two rounds had built a commanding lead of eight strokes. A round of 69 on Saturday maintained the

eight-stroke buffer over the chasing pack and a score of 70 on Sunday saw Flanagan win by 11 shots over Dave Newick. Aden Louez finished in third spot two strokes further back. The winner admitted that he had some nerves prior to teeing off on Sunday despite the large lead. “The night before the last round and the morning I started to think about it,” Flanagan said. “During the week I didn’t really think about it, I was

pretty calm. “But the night and the morning were a bit nerve wracking just thinking of the outcome which you shouldn’t do but it’s hard not to.” The winner of the nett prize among the A-Grade players was Brock Brindle who finished nine strokes ahead of Dan Curley and Paul Hope. In the other grades Corey de Silva won the B-Grade championship while in C-Grade Derek Pond was the winner.

Pond finished 11 strokes ahead of James Parker with Bruce Pfeifer a further stroke behind. Luke Johnson was the C-Grade nett winner ahead of Craig Spencer. The B-Grade win by de Silva was by two strokes over Kerry Wilson with Sean Brennan-Seymour another stroke back and Kieran Deane a shot behind third. Wilson edged out Deane in the nett prize on a countback. The senior champion was Wayne Cormick while Lochie Squires earned the junior champion title. But the majority of the glory was for Flanagan who

tournament will carry not just a $50,000 purse to help attract a strong field of professionals but will also reward the top three placegetters, professional or amateur, with a start in the 2022 NSW Open, to be held at the renowned Concord Golf Club in March. Coffs Harbour Golf Club general manager Paul McAra said having a professional event return to the club is tremendous feedback about both the standard of the course and the club’s facilities. “When we held the Women’s NSW Open in 2018 and the North Coast Open in 2020, the amount of praise the players gave us about the standard of the fairways and greens and also about how welcome they were made to feel by our members was enormous,” McAra said. “The fact that Coffs Harbour has again been chosen to host a professional event shows that we’re now seen as one the leading golfing venues in New South Wales.” McAra added that from a spectator point of view it will be interesting to watch

how the region’s leading amateurs like recent Club Championship winner Billy Flanagan handle themselves while playing among professionals. “The North Coast Open will offer the young talent in Coffs Harbour the chance to pit themselves against some of the best players,” he said. “And with travel restrictions decreasing, it’s likely there’ll be a stronger field of professionals entered in February than what we had in 2020.” It was Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole announced the rescheduled series NSW Regional Open Series. He said the tournament would bring some welcome financial relief to the region racked by two years of disruption due to COVID-19. “The NSW Open Regional Qualifying series will deliver significant economic and tourism benefits to regional NSW, while giving golfers the chance to test themselves on some of the best courses Australia has to offer,” Toole said.

Corindi Beach cricketer ends WBBL season on a personal high By Aiden BURGESS

CORINDI Beach cricketer Anika Learoyd has ended her Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) season on a personal high. The 19-year-old scored a career high 34 from 27 balls

in the Sydney Thunder’s final game of the WBBL07 season last weekend. Playing in the first 11 games of her WBBL career, Learoyd finished the season with a 15.33 average in 7 innings with the bat. Having played her debut

“Playing against (New Zealand international) Sophie Devine when she hit that huge 100 and watching the power that she had was a big moment for me,” she said. “I also really admire the work Ash Gardner

does for young Indigenous people off the park with her foundation (Ash Gardner Foundation) as well as all the other work she does. “I first met her a few years ago and have really enjoyed witnessing her grow and develop as a person and a cricketer.” When asked who her toughest bowler was to

A-League Kicks Off as the Jets Embrace the Coffs Coast By David WIGLEY

THE Newcastle Jets kicked off their 2021/2022 A-League campaign last Sunday with a 2-1 loss to the Central Coast Mariners at home. Meanwhile, the club continues to extend its footprint on the North and Coffs Coast. With over 5000 players registered to play football in the North Coast Football region and similar numbers on the Mid North Coast and Far North Coast, football fans don’t have a local A-League club to support. Football registrations have been booming with several clubs breaking registration records including Sawtell FC, Woolgoolga and Coffs United who had over 500 registered players in the 2021 season. The Newcastle Jets have embraced the Coffs Coast community with A-League matches, trial matches, children’s free football clinics and open training sessions giving away free merchandise and player engagement. Newcastle Jets Executive Chairman Shane Mattiske explained

how the club intends to deepen relationships in the communities of the North and Coffs Coast. “The Jets represent the whole of Northern New South Wales and we are striving to make the region proud of us. “There’s a strong linkage to the Coffs Coast where we have played trial matches, A-League matches and free children’s clinics which our players and coaches really enjoyed. “The players and new coach Arthur Papas were looking forward to a training camp in Coffs Harbour last month which included trial matches against A-League opposition and local rep teams, but unfortunately we had to cancel because of the

COVID restrictions. “We want to engage with the community on the North Coast and that’s why we have Coffs Harbour as a training camp venue, to connect with the local community and we would love to see supporters visit our home stadium for both our A-League and W-League teams,” said Mattiske. The Jets play an attacking brand of football and are renowned for developing home grown talent like their midfield general, Angus Thurgate from Port Macquarie. Coffs United and RISE player Habib Noorani caught the eye of the Newcastle Jets in a trial match which led to a semi-professional contract with Lake Macquarie based

NPL Club Valentine FC. Shane Mattiske encouraged football supporters on the North Coast to keep an eye out for the home grown and overseas talent at the Jets this season. “Keep your eye on young Archie Goodwin, he’s had a good pre-season and is one of many exciting youngsters. “Along with Angus Thurgate and Lucas Mauragis, Goodwin fits into a youthful squad that will form the future for the Newcastle Jets. “The Jets have attacking flair in Valentino Yuel who scored five goals in the first five matches last season and we have a host of new players.

face, the young batswoman said facing the spin bowlers was a tricky proposition. “There wasn’t any bowler in particular that I’ve found harder than another, but I’ve had to face a few crafty spinners who have been very tough,” she said.

Ever Heard Of A Sacrificial Anode?

Robert Hall

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.

Professional, Reliable, Efficient Service Commercial - Domestic - Industrial Driveway Pressure Cleaning All Aspects of Insurance Work

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