Grappling the global phenomenon

By David WIGLEY COFFS Coast residents and tourists flocked to the region's beaches to celebrate Australia Day in a multitude of ways. The most popular activity was spending time with friends and family whilst cooling off in the ocean as the temperatures soared up to 30 degrees on a hot and sunny Australia Day. But some preferred a more active way to start Australia Day as a pack of friends from the popular parkrun got together at 7am for what they called a ‘social’ 5k run. Keelan Birch from Coffs

THE Coffs/Clarence Police District, Crime Prevention Unit aims to provide youth from socially disadvantaged and multicultural backgrounds with recognition of their continual positive engagement with police through an initiative called Youth Active Rewards Program (YARP). YARP is designed to engage young people in the Coffs/Clarence Police District who have been identified as investing positively in themselves through their school attendance, Youth Command Programs such as Fit4Life or have been identified by police personnel and stakeholder groups. The reward programs are available to all young people who make the effort to improve their own personal

q Catch and release is part of the sustainable fishing practices taught during YARP previously come in contact with the criminal justice

system and have been redirected from further offending. The main purpose of YARP is to reward and build positive relationships between the NSW Police Force and local youth with a focus on resilience, rapport building and leadership. YARP also focuses on providing opportunities for youth to gain experiences that may not have otherwise been afforded to them such as fishing, surfing and mountain bike riding. Last week, a group of Indigenous young people engaged in a day’s fishing at Urunga and participated in workshops conducted by Melanie Buhler, Education Officer (North Coast), Fisheries & Aquaculture Management, NSW Department of Primary

Industries. Senior Constable Daniel Dunn, Crime Prevention Officer for the Coffs/ Clarence Police District said, “The program has made massive inroads into the prevention of crime by young people. “For example, one young man, who has been very negative towards the police, spent the entire day fishing with me. “YARP breaks down the barriers between young people and police,” he added. This rewarding experience for the young people was fully funded through the NSW Police Force, Aboriginal Strategic Direction – Crime Prevention Grants and supported by a number of other organisations and volunteers.

Man charged after domestic assault in Urunga and commenced an investigation. NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the man before he was taken to Coffs Harbour Base Hospital, where he remains in a serious but stable condition. A short time later

a 29-year-old man was arrested in nearby Vernon Crescent. He was taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station where he was charged with Wound person intend to cause grievous bodily harm (domestic violence) and Assault

occasioning actual bodily harm (domestic violence). The Urunga man was refused bail to appear in Coffs Harbour Local Court on Friday 22 January 2021.

Parents of Kindergarten and Year 7 students able to share first day moment PARENTS of Kindergarten students and Year Seven students will be able to share in their child’s first day of school and high school milestones, under new COVID-19 guidelines issued by the NSW Department of Education. Under the new guidelines, parents and carers of children in Kindergarten, and Years One, Two and Seven will be able to enter school grounds on the first day to drop off their children at school in a COVID-safe way. “The first day of school is an incredibly important day, especially

for those children starting Kindergarten,” NSW Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said. “I am so thrilled that despite the challenges of the pandemic, parents and carers will be able to take part in this milestone event in their child’s life in a COVID-safe way. “Parents and carers attending on day one and beyond are urged to follow COVID-safe practices, which include physical distancing, hygiene practices and not to mingle in or outside the school.” Individual schools will provide relevant information to families

about the processes for their school. The NSW Department of Education said parents, staff and students are not required to wear face masks at school, however in line with Public Health Orders, masks must be worn by those aged twelve and over on any public transport when travelling to and from school. When contacted by News Of The Area, local bus company Forest Coach Lines at Coffs Harbour stated that their company was following Transport for NSW recommendations and advising all members of the public, including high

school students, to wear a mask when travelling on their buses, however it was not mandatory to do so and it would not be enforced by company staff. “We have stickers on our buses asking people to wear masks, but it’s not enforceable,” a company spokesperson said. Parents are advised to avoid coming on to school grounds unless the visit complies with the current school guidelines, such as volunteering at the school canteen or visiting the uniform shop. Schools can still plan for sporting carnivals,

excursions and overnight camps, and special events such as concerts, with a COVID Safety Plan in place. School resumes on Friday 29 January for high school students in Years Seven, Eleven and Twelve in public schools, and for students in Years One to Six in public primary schools. Public high school students entering Years Eight to Ten in 2021 will resume school for the year on Monday 1 February. Kindergarten students in public schools will begin their school journey from Tuesday 2 February.

THE body of a man missing in Coffs Harbour after being swept off rocks on Thursday has been found. About 6pm on Thursday 21 January 2021, emergency services were called

to the Coffs Harbour southern break wall after reports a man had disappeared while walking along the pathway. The man was reportedly walking along the break wall at Jordan Esplanade,

when a wave hit, and he disappeared. Police were told by a witness who had been walking in front of the man, that he was no longer behind her after a large wave broke over the wall. As the search

continued, police appealed for anyone with information or who may have seen the man to come forward. A short time later, police were approached by a local family, concerned that their 20-year-old son

had not returned home from a walk along the beach; his car was found in the Gallows Beach car park. Following coordinated searches conducted by Coffs/ Clarence Police District, Marine

Mr Dell is the CEO of Majestic Cinemas, a business that he started 18 years ago after purchasing the Nambucca Heads Cinema with a group of partners and investors. “I am excited about taking on the position of Chair of RDAMNC and gaining a better understanding of how I can use this appointment to help improve the region,” Mr Dell said. “The Mid North Coast is relatively undiscovered when it comes to major investment, and there are definite opportunities for improvements in infrastructure to help cope with the growing population. “Encouraging innovation in existing businesses and

support for those looking to start new enterprises is also an area of importance to me.” Mr Conaghan met with Mr Dell, CEO of RDAMNC Kerry Grace and the newly appointed Employment Facilitator for Cowper Janine Culnane on Friday, January 22 in Port Macquarie. Ms Culnane’s role includes helping job seekers find work under the Federal Government’s $62.8 million Local Jobs Program. Mr Conaghan said the Employment Facilitator will work on-the-ground in Cowper to support employers and job seekers to connect with employment and training opportunities. He said the Employment Facilitator will also chair a Local Jobs and Skills Taskforce addressing the needs of the Cowper electorate.

$50 million funding boost to benefit

women’s sport in regional NSW By David WIGLEY

Witherdin. “Grassroot clubs should be engaged in how the money is spent otherwise there’s a risk they will not be spent wisely and it’s

important girls and women across the board benefit and not just at the elite level,” said Mr Witherdin, whose Eagles team have featured in the last two Women’s Grand Finals at

The remaining $50 million of the Stronger Country Communities Fund Round Four will be made available for further high-quality community amenity and sports-related infrastructure projects to meet strong demand. Applications for round four of the program will open from 1 May 2021. Guidelines and information about eligible applicants will be available on the Regional Growth Fund website in coming months.

DEPUTY Premier John Barilaro and Acting Minister for Sport Geoff Lee announced that round four of the $100 million Stronger Country Communities Fund will have a regional sports focus, with up to $50 million to be made available for the delivery and enhancement of women’s sporting facilities, including change rooms. “Women have been flying the flag for Australian sport with our international teams achieving incredible status on the world platform and many of these athletes come from regional communities,” Mr Barilaro said. “Too many women participating in local soccer, AFL, rugby or cricket matches in rural and regional locations don’t have access to suitable changing facilities so the NSW government has committed this funding to level the playing field. “Access to designated female change rooms will be of huge benefit to our future Matildas, Opals, Hockeyroos, Jillaroos and Wallaroos, as well as local athletes,” Mr Barilaro said. This will be music to the ears of the numerous sporting codes on the Coffs Coast where women’s sport is thriving. The growth in women’s AFL in the region has been a real success story where the Coffs Harbour Breakers went from foundation club in 2018 to Women’s Grand Final winners in 2020 as AFL North Coast Coordinator, Paul Taylor explains. “AFL is one of the fastest growing sports for Women in the nation, and NSW/ ACT has the second biggest participation rate in the

C.ex Stadium. Acting Minister for Sport Geoff Lee agreed the provision of new and improved female change rooms was a step that would encourage more women to step out on the court or field. “In many areas of regional NSW there is a shortage of female dedicated change facilities and amenities, so this funding will be a huge win for women and girls who would have otherwise been deterred from playing sport.” Minister for Women and Regional Youth Bronnie Taylor said women had been proudly stepping onto the pitch for years now and this next round of the Stronger Country Communities Fund would address a barrier for females when it came to entering local and regional sport. “I know this funding will be warmly welcomed by

New beginnings for young people but many feel increasingly isolated HEADSPACE Coffs Harbour is offering tips to support young people and families for the return to school. New research released this week by headspace National Youth Mental Health Foundation has found young people in critical age groups (12 to 14 and 18 to 21) are reporting significant increases in feelings of isolation. The findings, revealing a substantial uplift since the data was last recorded in 2018, come as young people in these age groups enter into major transition periods in their lives from next week with return to school, study and work. Many young people ages 12 to 14 will be starting secondary school for the first time, while those ages 18 to 21 may be starting the shift into further study or work. Vikki Ryall, Executive Director, Clinical Practice at headspace said young people in these age groups may need additional support from parents and carers, as the impacts of COVID-19 are still keenly felt. “We know transition periods can be a time of high risk for young people. “The move to secondary school from primary or from school into further study or the workforce can feel quite daunting for young people in any instance and COVID has now added extra complexity. “It’s worrying to see young people in these age groups recording increased feelings of isolation. “It’s likely that 2020 caused major disruptions to their

year with these young people feeling disconnected from newly formed friendships or new ways of life. “In addition, the usual support structures that schools, workplaces, and further education have in place were compromised during 2020 due to COVID, leaving young people with fewer opportunities to access support when they might’ve needed it. “We can’t underestimate how the pandemic has and continues to impact all young people, but particularly those experiencing major shifts to their usual routine and moving to a new phase of life. “We’re encouraging families to tune into how their young person might be coping during this time. “Families play such an important role in preparing and supporting young people to make positive transitions and they can really equip their young person through this time. “Things such as planning and helping your young person get organised can be helpful. It also might be helpful to run through some ‘what ifs’ and work through different scenarios together. “If families are noticing changes with their young person, it’s important to check in and let them know that you’re available if they want to talk to you. “You can also let them know that this is a significant change that may take some time to adjust to. “Young people are resilient

Gary Maher, Community Engagement and Development Officer from headspace Coffs Harbour said, “It’s important to check in with our young people regularly, particularly those young people going through one of life’s big transitions, such as moving from primary school to high school or from high school to the workforce or further study and maybe moving away from home. “The impacts of the changes to our lives, due to the pandemic, cannot be underestimated and will

certainly continue to have an impact in the foreseeable future. Feeling isolated or lonely can cause anxiety, stress, depression and cognitive decline. “The longer someone feels socially isolated, the greater the risk of mental health concerns associated with

social isolation. “With a little extra support and conversation young people can successfully make the next big steps in their lives.” If you or your young person are in need of further support, you can visit eheadspace (online and phone support), contact your nearest

headspace centre or talk to your GP about options for family counselling. headspace has also designed a series of online Interactive Activities that young people can check out to source practical tips for connecting with others, goal setting and problem solving.

From this moment, Sailboat and his ukulele are inseparable, and his ailing grandmother asks him to write a song just for her. Sailboat creates a magical piece that could be the greatest song ever written, but will it breathe one final miracle, or reveal a hapless twist of fate that will return his family to their previous basic existence? Blending a sweet-natured atmosphere with an incredible Latin-themed soundtrack, ‘A Boy Called Sailboat’ provides audiences a chance to hear and see the Grigoryan Brothers like never before. There will be a filmmaker and composers Q&A following the performance.

Forestry Corporation Fears Job Losses By Andrew VIVIAN FORESTRY Corporation is in the news again with

Government Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment indicates that overall employment in forestry and related occupations declined across Australia in the decade from 2006 to 2016.

In 2016 there were 4,769 full-time direct forestry and logging jobs in the entire country and 903 part-time. The Australia Institute estimates that, currently, ‘approximately only 600 people are directly employed in the native forestry industry in NSW, less than 0.1% of the total workforce’. This compares with the thousands of people employed on the Coffs Coast alone in sectors such as hospitality, tourism and the arts. The NSW Government has provided the Forestry Corporation with $46 million as part of the COVID-19 stimulus package designed to directly assist economies in regional NSW. According to the Corporation, some of this has contributed to the reopening and repair of public roads and bridges across both the native and plantation estates, which are used for firefighting and as alternative

access routes between regional towns. The Corporation says that more than half has been invested in the expansion of seedling production nurseries and early replanting works to regrow the State’s pine plantation assets and is not related to native forests. Spokesperson for the Coffs Harbour Greens, Jonathan Cassell, says that the Greens have repeatedly called for the Forestry Corporation to be removed from NSW forests because its current practices threaten forests and waterways. “It’s expensive for the NSW taxpayer to be propping up the destruction of native forests to the tune of $79 million between 2009 and 2014,” he said. “Forestry Corporation has been running at a loss in the hardwood sector for years. “We need to have sustainably-managed forests to maintain biodiversity and

soil and water quality.” Forestry Corporation points out that, apart from logging, it is involved in managing tourism and recreation, roads, pests and weeds, conservation and fire across approximately two million hectares of public land on behalf of the NSW Government and this is largely offset by revenue from timber production. However, conservationists say that the money would be better used by the National Parks and Wildlife Service for these operations. In response to the Forestry Corporation’s concern about job losses, Mr Cassell said, “Job losses in the industry have been closely tied to mechanisation.” It appears that there is still a chasm between those who value jobs in the short term versus those who look for sustainability and biodiversity now and into the future.

Thriving During COVID-19 Experts are divided about how well the Australian economy is doing, but it is clear that many individuals and many sectors of the Australian population are still suffering economically.

By Andrew VIVIAN

EXPERTS are divided about how well the Australian economy is doing, but it is clear that many individuals and many sectors of the Australian population are still suffering economically. One place that has continued to thrive, despite the ravages of COVID-19, is Sawtell. Holiday times are especially busy, leading one long-term local to dryly observe that, “During holiday time you can’t have lunch in a café until 4pm.” The Chairman of the Sawtell Chamber of Commerce, Clive Greenway, feels that most of the Coffs Coast area seems to have been doing well. He attributes the success of most Sawtell businesses to the village being a ‘onestop’ destination where people can park and then visit a range of stops. “It’s still an ‘old school’

village with a range of quality shops and cafes, clubs and the cinema. “We promote it 365 days a year in places like the Gold Coast, Armidale and Tamworth,” he said. The promotion appears to work, because it is almost impossible to eat at a Sawtell restaurant without a prior booking. Well-dressed tourists, who may not be aware of this before they arrive, can be seen wandering the streets on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings searching for a table. Linda Stitt, proprietor of The Spare Room said, “We’ve had a very busy summer, despite COVID, and we have had to turn a lot of people away.” The hospitality scene in Sawtell is strong enough for two new businesses to recently open, a Frenchthemed café and a tapas bar, and both appear to be extremely well-patronised.

Airbnb lists almost 70 properties in Sawtell, and, along with the Sawtell Hotel and motels providing accommodation, the population swells on weekends and during holiday time. Added to this, many people who live locally, but outside Sawtell, like to visit. Before COVID-19 struck, real estate prices in Sawtell were rising rapidly, but, with many people in capital cities realising that they can work from home in a regional area, prices have accelerated further. Chris Hines, from Unrealestate told News Of The Area, “The market is booming for sales, not just in Sawtell but in Boambee East, Bonville, Toormina and Coffs Harbour. “The issue is a lack of supply, mainly because people are apprehensive about selling because of the uncertainty created by COVID-19,” he said.

q Bookings are essential at Sawtell restaurants. Mr Hines said that real estate data shows that unit prices in Sawtell rose by 30% last year to a median price of $545,000. Recently, a basic twostorey house near the beach sold for $1.5 million and another, single storey

dwelling, 600m from the shops, with a pool, sold for almost $800,000. Locals are apprehensive that sales such as these might be changing the character of the village, and there are reports of a trend for properties to

be listed on Airbnb rather than becoming homes for families. In the meantime, Sawtell is bustling with visitors day and night and helping keep local businesses prosperous and providing local jobs.

By David TUNE COFFS Harbour is set to benefit from over $5 million in funding for a range of local improvement projects for Crown land reserves and community facilities in our region. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh announced the funding at the showgrounds on Monday morning. “It’s fantastic to report $5,005,100 has been secured for local projects this year under the Crown Reserves Improvement Fund program to maintain and upgrade reserves as well as facilities located on them,” Mr Singh said. The amount is about ten percent of the $51.7 million of the Crown Reserves Improvement Fund provided by the State Government this year. $4,000,000 has been allocated to demolish the existing grandstand and construct a new one, including new amenities

CHH

and kiosk at Coffs Harbour Showground. Showground Manager Steve Sullivan said, “The existing grandstand is at least 50 years old and doesn’t meet safety regulations and can only accommodate around 400 people. “The new grandstand will

have a capacity of over 1200 in greater comfort, as well as providing toilets and a kiosk. “We have been working towards this project over the last five years and are extremely grateful to the State Government for this funding.” Once completed, the showgrounds management

are hoping to attract new and larger events including open air concerts and performances. Other local projects being funded are● $597,300 to construct a replacement glasshouse at the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden.

● $250,000 to renovate and upgrade the community hall with the addition of an amenities block and installation of a kitchen at Sawtell Reserve and Holiday Park. ● $86,075 to remediate the foreshore area of Boambee Reserve.

● $39,725 to upgrade the road and path access and paving at Corindi Recreation Reserve. ● $32,000 to replace and repair walkways from the reserve area to the beach and headland at Red Rock Holiday Park.

SEAN’S RENOVATION NOTES...

Part One - Serious style for under 10K with Highgrove Bathrooms

We may be limited to our homeland of Australia for the foreseeable future, but is that really something to dwell over? These travel limitations can only mean limitless opportunity for creation, so why not put your extra time and holiday savings into something truly timeless. Will this New Year bring a bathroom renovation instead?

Below is the perfect guide for renovating for maximum style and minimal spend. At 50, Sean left Sydney at the commencement of Covid and settled in Sawtell with his ever faithful Pug, Mushka. He purchased a property and has been slowly transforming his 1960’s circa built home from a tired 60’s ‘Groovy’ to a sleek 20’s spectacle. He has started with the bathroom.

THE SHOWER Despite the space being relatively small, the subtle changes made use of the space, boosting functionality, giving a modern edge. Your gaze goes straight to the Eden Shower System in Matte Black, providing a contemporary feel that is only an extension of its luxurious qualities. With an inbuilt AQUAMist function, it saturates the body with micro sized droplets for the smoothest immersion. The Frameless Showerscreen maximised the smaller space and the white tile finish made the perfect contrast to the matte black features.

HIGHGROVE COST-SAVER TIP! Choose one or two showcase pieces for a cost-effective solution that doesn’t compromise on style. THE VANITY The highlight of the renovation would have to be the vanity area. The Como Timber Floor Mount Vanity makes for the perfect addition to any renovation looking to achieve anything from coastal ambiance to contemporary excellence. The COMO vanity is ideal for anyone looking for additional storage, with two deep drawers, it offers maximum storage potential. Sean opted to pair the vanity with the Cielo Rectangle Bench Mount Basin Matte Black as it provides a feel of indulgence without compromising on functionality. The design is the perfect match to the shower, tying the space together while still holding its spacious feel.

HIGHGROVE COST-SAVER TIP! If possible, keep your original plumbing points to avoid extra hassle and costs. Try to keep toilets, sinks or baths in the same location, if they are not affecting the overall design ,flow or functionality of your new bathrooms. And ensure your services are all in good working order.

ESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES Towel racks and hooks are one major essential that can double as a chic bathroom addition. Featured below is Highgrove’s Eden Matte Black Accessories including the Double Towel Rail, Robe Hooks, Toilet Roll Holder, Hand Towel Rail, Soap Dish and Toilet Brush Holder. Having both towel rack and hooks are super handy, particularly in a family home as it keeps the towels up and off the floor and when chosen correctly, can make a great design addition.

HIGHGROVE COST-SAVER TIP Choose chic and timeless accessories to amplify your space and provide a luxurious feel to get maximum results for less. Rod Baldock, owner of Highgrove Bathrooms, Coffs Harbour said that you don’t need to compromise the style you’re looking for when opting for cost-effective alternatives. “By choosing pieces that are timeless in style and a focal point in your bathroom, you can achieve more without having to overcompensate with multiple products. This will not only overcrowd your space but will ultimately cost you more. Similarly, opting for products that offer durability and longevity will have you saving you time and money in years to come.”

• EDEN NERO TOILET BRUSH HOLDER (MATTE BLACK) • EDEN NERO TOILET ROLL HOLDER (MATTE BLACK) • COMO TIMBER FLOOR MOUNT VANITY CABINET WITHOUT TOP 750MM • SNOW WHITE STONE VANITY TOP 750MM • CIELO SQUARE BENCH MOUNT BASIN MATTE BLACK • SPIN NERO MATTE BLACK BASIN MIXER

Community Gardens funding boost helps continued growth By David TUNE SOUTH Coffs Community Garden has been successful in

securing funding of $15,515 under the state government’s 2020 Community Building Partnership Program, which is helping grassroots projects make a real difference in our

community. The gardens, which are located behind the Boambee East Community Hall in Bruce King Drive were started in 2017 and have grown and created improved

amenities continuously since then. Local member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said, “South Coffs Community Garden members are to be congratulated for their successful application – their project is all about enhancing their ability

to promote community participation while reducing environmental impact.” The group's 35 members will benefit from the purchase of new equipment that will reduce the amount of manual labour needed. President John Higgins advised that, “The money

The group also presents workshops including ‘Working with Native Bees’, ‘Plot to Pantry’ and ‘Sharpening Tools’.

Early Connections Coffs Coast secure $27,500 grant By David TUNE

EARLY Connections Coffs Coast have secured a $27,500 State Government grant to help deliver their Outdoor Play, Education and Therapy Environment project. Early Connections Coffs Coast are part of the Early Connections Alliance which is a collaborative network of four not-forprofit community-based organisations on the Mid North Coast and provide life changing Early Childhood Intervention through education, therapy and support for families and children with special needs. Business Development Manager for the centre Stacey Bayliss described the organisation's vision.

q Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh with some of the family and leadership team at Early Connections-Coffs Coast.

“Our Mission is to provide life changing Early Childhood Intervention through education"

“Our Mission is to provide life changing Early Childhood Intervention through education, therapy

and support. We know that intensive intervention in the early years is the key to achieving greater learning outcomes for

young children. Our work at Early Connections Coffs Coast focuses on creating a team around each child and family, and building

a partnership through connection, coaching and mentoring.” State member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh congratulated the team at the centre on securing the funding, provided under the Community Building Partnership 2020 program, and said that,

“This playground project is based on the belief that engaging with children in natural play spaces is best practice and can be more beneficial than conducting sessions indoors. Families can learn and practice skills and strategies in a safe environment.” The centre currently

supports over 135 children and families from the Coffs Harbour and Bellingen local Government areas providing individual support from a range of early intervention professionals. For more information go to https://www. earlyconnections.org.au/ or call 6652 8080.

Local photographer achieves international awards By David TUNE JULIE Clyde has a passion for both photography and fantasy, and combines them to produce stunning pictures, two of which have been recognised with awards in an international competition. The Monochrome Photography Awards are an annual competition for professional and amateur photographers that aims to celebrate monochrome visions and discover amazing photographers from around the world. Julie's photos were given ‘Honorable Mentions’ in the Photomanipulation Category, one for a professional piece and one for an amateur work. The competition attracts entries from around the world with over 7500 photos submitted for judging. Working as a photographer for the last thirteen years and branching into fantasy work in the last eighteen months, this is the first time Julie has entered the competition, and she is thrilled with the

q recognition of her works. One of the pictures titled ‘The Daisy Field’ features Julie's daughter Taylor walking out into a field of daisies and was created to help Taylor find an escape in a difficult time in her life. As a fully accredited member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers, Julie now specialises in fantasy portraiture mainly for children. “I love turning people

First stage of NSW Curriculum Reform underway High school courses to be cut under 2021 NSW Curriculum Reform

MORE than 80 courses will be scrapped in NSW public high schools under a curriculum overhaul being undertaken by the NSW Government in 2021. The first stage of the NSW Curriculum Reform decluttering process will see a reduction of more than 80 courses developed by schools which have been classified as unnecessary.

As part of the reform, new criteria have been developed to ensure elective courses developed by schools provide students with strong foundations for future learning and life beyond school. NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the State Government had exceeded its target to reduce the number of elective courses developed

by high schools by at least twenty percent. “We need our schools to be focussed on the core learning areas,” Ms Berejiklian said. “Removing unnecessary courses allows schools and teachers the time and resources to deliver the essentials for students.” NSW Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said she wanted to ensure schools are delivering high quality

syllabuses to set students up for success after school. “New criteria will ensure that courses are only approved where the course provides a high quality elective option for students, and does not duplicate or overlap with existing opportunities within the syllabus,” Ms Mitchell said. “While courses will be cut, students will still have opportunities to explore their

interests. “For example, courses like print-making would no longer be standalone courses, but they could still be options as part of a core course like Art.” Ms Mitchell said removing these courses is the first step in the curriculum reform, with the development of new, streamlined K-2 English and Maths syllabuses on track to be released for consultation

in March. With the exception of languages, Auslan and Braille, all Year Nine and Ten elective courses developed by schools will be phased out by next year.

GPs To Take Lead In Vaccine Rollout By Andrew VIVIAN

THE National Rollout Strategy for COVID-19 vaccination will commence in mid to late February 2021. It is anticipated that frontline health care workers and older people living in residential aged care facilities will be the first to receive the vaccine. All accredited general practices have been invited by the Australian Government to express interest in participating in the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine. Locally, Healthy North Coast delivers the Government’s Primary Health Network program, and is helping to coordinate the vaccine’s delivery on the Coffs Coast. Healthy North Coast CEO, Julie Sturgess, said general practices selected to participate in Phase 1 of the rollout, scheduled to begin in March, will have a critical role to play in vaccinating North Coast residents from the virus. As the staged roll out progresses, more and more accredited general practices will be invited to provide the vaccine. GPs will receive vaccine-specific training, access to a national booking system, and funding for each vaccination delivered via bulk-billed Medical Benefits Schedule (MBS) items. Each general practice will have responsibility for operations on its premises, including on-site storage, delivery of the vaccine, ensuring its workforce is adequately skilled and general compliance with operational requirements. Ms Sturgess said, “We’re looking forward to helping provide communities from Port Macquarie to Tweed Heads with access to safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines. “General practices are a critical partner in achieving this goal and in providing comprehensive primary health care. “There are 144 accredited general practices located on the North Coast,” she said. COVID-19 vaccines will be made available for free to everyone living in Australia, including all Australian citizens, permanent residents, and most visa-holders, including those not Medicare eligible. General practices will not be permitted to charge co-payments.

Gym relocation sought alongside approved CBD pub By Emma DARBIN

A DEVELOPMENT application for the $250,000 relocation of Anytime Fitness Coffs Harbour alongside an already approved Pub (craft brewery) on the fringe of the Coffs Harbour CBD has been lodged with Coffs Harbour City Council. The development application for a Recreation Facility (Indoor) (change of use from specialised retail premises to gym, including alterations/additions and signage) at 41 Grafton Street, Coffs Harbour was lodged with Council on 8 January. The development involves an internal building fit out, new car parking and a manoeuvring area, signage and use of an existing commercial premises as a recreation facility (indoor). The internal fit-out will include amenities, staff rooms and training rooms, and most of the floor area will be open for weights and group training areas. It is proposed to relocate the existing Coffs Harbour

q Anytime Fitness Coffs Harbour has lodged a development application with Coffs Harbour City Council to relocate to this former car showroom in Grafton St, in front of an already approved Pub (craft brewery) in the rear building. Photo: Emma Darbin.

Anytime Fitness centre from Level 1, 92-98 Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour to the new Grafton Street premises. The existing premises in Coffs Harbour is located in the upper level of the CBD, with no dedicated car parking provided. It is envisaged that relocation of the premises on the fringe of the CBD will result in a reduced parking demand in the centre of the CBD. The design of the fitness centre will be based on the Anytime Fitness model that already exists in many centres, including Coffs Harbour and Toormina. The Grafton Street site adjoins the Pacific Highway and was formerly a motor dealership

showroom known as Mazda Coffs Coast, and used as a motor vehicle sales and servicing business. The former use as a vehicles sales and hire premises ceased more than twelve months ago, and the premises is currently partially occupied by a furniture showroom. The area previously used as a motor vehicle showroom closest to Grafton Street is proposed to be converted to fitness training and member facilities. A pre-approved Pub (craft brewery) will occupy part of the existing Grafton Street site. A development application for the Pub (change of use from vehicle repair station and part change of

use from vehicles sales or hire premises) was approved on 13 March 2020 within the subject land. The approved pub, titled King Tide Brewery, will occupy the rear of the site within a separate tenancy. The busiest times within each of the tenancies are anticipated to be spread throughout the day with the peak use of the fitness centre in the morning and the peak use of the

brewery in the evenings. The fitness centre is proposed to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and staff will be on the premises between 9am and 7pm daily. The development application is currently on public exhibition until Monday 1 February and can be viewed on Council’s website at www.coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au. Provider #PR-40000780

belong to the Rural Preferential Recruitment scheme, in which interns undertake the majority of their training in rural hospitals. This has doubled in number since 2012. This innovative scheme was designed to encourage interns to work in rural hospitals once they finished their medical school training. The new doctors started their internships this week and will be based in Coffs Harbour for formal and onthe-job training over the next two years. Interns are medical graduates who have completed their medical degree and are required to complete a supervised year of practice in order to become independent practitioners.

Offshore Guardian visits Coffs Harbour By Geoff MAUNDER

VISITORS to the Inner Harbour last Sunday witnessed an unusual sight. A large red 34 Meter 316 Tonne offshore supply Vessel “backing into the inner harbour” to tie up to the Co-Op wharf to refuel and allow one of the crew the time to say ‘hi’

to his parents. Offshore Guardian called in to Coffs Harbour to take on half a load of Diesel fuel, some $30,000 for the remainder of its trip up the coast to Cairns from Port Stephens. This job had required David Maunder fly to Darwin from home north of Cairns early November to crew

Offshore Guardian to Port Stephens to carry out an oceanographic survey of the seabed between Birubi and Newcastle - work which has not been updated in over 50 years. This work required a crew of 23 took almost 8 weeks and on completion the boat headed to Cairns to be slipped

for routine maintenance. Offshore Guardian is normally based in Darwin but has been in service all around the Australian continent carrying out varied supply and survey tasks after being built in Wellington, New Zealand in 2016 and initially delivered to Port Headland in Western Australia by David and three other crew. Born in Coffs Harbour, Chef David Maunder did his apprenticeship in Coffs Harbour and has worked in a Michelin Star restaurant in London for Michel Roux, luxury charter boats in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean

and Cairns. He has also cooked for royalty on Seafaris, Princess Mary and Prince Frederick in the Hawkesbury as well as Giorgio Armani off Cairns. He now works for Guardian Offshore who operate a fleet of boats in the gas, oil and survey fields. David has circumnavigated the Australian mainland on Offshore Guardian and Offshore Solution, a larger 58-metre boat and crewed the delivery of Offshore Guardian from New Zealand to Port Headland.

Young Archie winners revealed

WINNERS of the Young Archie youth portrait competition have been announced as the region celebrates the arrival of the prestigious 2019 Archibald Prize exhibition in Coffs Harbour. Entries for the Young Archie art competition were called for in August, 2020 from budding young artists in the region aged between five and eighteen years. The competition theme was a portrait of a person who is special to you, who is known to you, or who plays a significant role in your life. There were four age categories and the successful winners in these categories include Ava Gallagher (58yrs), Gabrielle Badger (912yrs), Arlia Portus Keen (1315yrs), and Ally Cork (16-18 years). Highly commended awards were given to Audrey James, Evie Henderson, Jude Moore, Tanisha Stainsby, Rory Osmond, Isabella de Roy-Blair and Kristabella Badman. Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery’s Ashleigh Frost was ecstatic with the entries received from all the young artists, who showed skill and emotional maturity well beyond their years. “We were blown away

with the diversity of the styles that really showed the way the students were looking and responding to their chosen subjects,” Ashleigh said. “As the entries came in it was really emotional to get a little glimpse into children’s worlds and what was important to them. “Evident across many of the works was a response to COVID including adopting

a dog, spending time with grandparents and activities at home. “We also saw some selfportraits with students reflecting inwardly on their own qualities.” Coffs Coast Young Archie winner (13-15yrs) Arlia Portus Keen has attended the Young Archies in Sydney four times and said it inspired her to enter the local competition. Arlia has always loved art-

making and shares her advice for other youths who want to try their hand at portraiture. “Even if you don’t like it, you kind of just have to finish it because it might end up looking good and it doesn’t matter if it looks really realistic, it just has to show emotion,” Arlia said. The Young Archies portraits showcase the varied faces of the Coffs Coast ranging from parents and

Coffs United FC, welcomed the news with a big smile. “The football community gave out a loud cheer when we heard the Women’s World Cup was heading to Australia. “It's not just about the matches, it’s the funding that goes along with a World Cup that will help grassroots footballers take the next step if they choose to, and that’s vital for the future success of the game,” said Mr Hodgekiss. “I can’t think of a better time or place for girls to be playing football, it’s been the fastest growth area at the Football Club, the girls have

even adopted a conga dance as a celebration after matches.” And it seems the conga will go for longer as the opportunities for aspiring young girls in the region continue to grow. Launching the program in Albury, Deputy Premier John Barilaro said an investment of $750,000 by the NSW government will ensure players from regional NSW have the opportunity to showcase their skills in the lead up to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. “Regional NSW is home to some of the most talented

athletes in the country and has a rich history of producing Matildas with more than half of the national team coming from our state’s regions over the past 40 years,” Mr Barilaro said. “This investment from the NSW government will ensure the next generation of girls and young women in regional NSW have the same level of access to coaching and support as their peers in the city as they strive to represent Australia on the world stage. “Focusing on girls aged between 12 and 18 years old, the funding will support the

siblings, to best friends and teachers. Each portrait tells a story of the young artist’s relationship to a person important to them. Judging the creations were local Artist and Educator Tori Donnelley, Art Therapist Emma Gentle, and Tiffany Townsend from the competition’s official sponsor, ANZ Coffs Harbour. ANZ provided a $50 cash prize to each of the award winners, and Coffs Central also sponsored the exhibition.

All portraits entered into the Coffs Coast’s Young Archies competition are currently on display on the walls of Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery and at the Culture Hub in Coffs Central Shopping Centre until 6 March, right alongside portraits from finalists of the prestigious 2019 Archibald Prize competition currently on exhibition in Coffs Harbour until 6 March.

Regional NSW scores in countdown to 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup By David WIGLEY YOUNG girls aspiring to play for the Matildas will benefit from a NSW government-funded talent identification and youth development program over the next three years. The news was welcomed by the local football community, including Boambee FC President Fiona Clancy, who highlighted the untapped talent in the region. “The government funding for young girls talent identification and development in regional areas is a boom for many young girls who don't usually have the opportunity to showcase their talent,” said Ms Clancy. “There is a lot of untapped talent in regional areas and to provide these young girls with access to coaching and development opportunities that currently only those who live in metropolitan areas will see the standard of high level female football in Australia improve in coming years. “With the excitement of the 2023 Women's World Cup building there is no better time to turn our eyes to women's football,” she said.

establishment of training hubs across the state. “Identified talented young players will be further supported through the provision of training camps and player support scholarships, with the added bonus of being tutored by current and former Matildas,” said Mr Barilaro. Acting Minister for Sport Geoff Lee said the NSW government is committed to ensuring a lasting legacy from hosting 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup matches. “We are witnessing an exciting new era in Australian women’s football and this investment will create successful pathways for aspiring girls in regional NSW who dream of wearing the green and gold,” Mr Lee said. “With current and former

By Manny WOOD

A super SMSF fight MARY establishes a self-managed superannuation fund and as the sole member of the fund, appoints herself as sole director and shareholder of a company that becomes the trustee of the fund. Mary’s superannuation fund consists of shares and cash totalling $1 million. Mary makes a will valid appointing her daughter, Kate as her executor. The will states that her superannuation is to be shared equally between Kate and Mary’s only other child, Greg. Mary does not execute a binding death benefit nomination in relation to her self-managed fund. When Mary passes away, Kate seeks advice regarding her role as executor and the distribution of Mary’s superannuation. Kate is advised that as executor, she can become the sole director of the company controlling the superannuation fund. She is also advised that the reference in Mary’s will regarding the distribution of superannuation is not binding and that as director, she has the ability to make her own decision regarding the distribution of the superannuation. Kate and Greg’s relationship deteriorated many years ago and Kate decides to pay herself the whole of Mary’s superannuation. Greg files a complaint with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA), formerly known as the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal but is advised that AFCA does not have jurisdiction to hear his complaint. Greg seeks legal advice and is informed that in the absence of evidence regarding undue influence or a lack of testamentary capacity, the duly executed will is unable to be challenged. Greg is further advised that as a child of the deceased, he has standing to make a family provision claim in the Supreme Court, clawing-back the superannuation into Mary’s estate but that he would need to demonstrate that he has sufficient financial needs to be successful. Greg has 12 months from Mary’s date of death to make a claim. If YOU would like a particular issue addressed please email Manny at manny.wood@ticliblaxland.com.au or call him on (02) 6648 7487.

DEAR Jasminda,

IS there anything less enjoyable than back-to-school shopping? I still haven't finished, and they go back tomorrow. Help! Mrs Petra T. Dear Petra,

Allowances for people with allowance I VISITED Coffs Harbour Centrelink office yesterday, 18 January, for the first time, and was horrified that my husband, who has advanced Parkinson's, was asked to stand outside in the very hot sun. They refused to allow him to wait inside, and refused him a chair outside. Disgusting! I requested a supervisor

to attend, but the security guard at the door still insisted we wait outside, refusing to allow a chair there. Finally, a supervisor turned up, and allowed him to sit inside on a chair near the door. A poor disabled lady with a walker suffered the same experience as we were leaving, and was told to go to the end of the line and

wait, outside. Shouldn't there be some allowances made for people with a disability? After all, Centrelink is there to help these people, not to make them ill. Please revisit your rules, and make allowances for the disabled. Regards, Janet SIMPSON.

Trees Under Stress DEAR News Of The Area,

MR Bruce Meder (NOTA 22/1/2021) infers that CO2 warming the planet causes water stress in trees and other plants and refers to anonymous research by anonymous researchers which suggests that this may be happening now. Being a non definitive conclusion it is also possible that it is not happening. It is interesting to note that during the Cambrian to Devonian periods when CO2 levels were between 4000ppm to 7000ppm (currently approx 400ppm),

plants proliferated and thrived. It is also of note that in the last 600 million years the earth’s average temperature has only twice been as low as it is today, during the late Cambrian period (450mya) and in the late Carboniferous, early Permian periods (300mya). If the average world temperature over the last 600mya were to be used, it would result in an average temperature way above the average used today, which is based on temperatures from the last 200 years or so.

Also a 2018 study published in “Nature Climate Change” Journal, based on satellite data from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, found that in the past 35 years the planet has experienced significant greening due to rising CO2 levels. This greening represents increased leaves on trees and other plants. It therefore appears that water stress from CO2 is most unlikely. Regards, W DUESBURY, Boambee.

THERE are a few things that are less enjoyable. Lobotomies without anaesthetic, the gravel rash experienced after falling off a motorbike, floating in your room on Endone after a wisdom tooth extraction, and childbirth for those who reject an epidural in favour of meditation and lavender oil, to cite just a few examples. Back-to-school shopping is, I will agree, excruciating, but there are ways to make it slightly more bearable: 1. Enjoy the sheer pleasure of click and collect. Here you can select what you need from the comfort of your home without relenting to any impulse buys such as a solar-powered meerkat. 2. Bind your children's feet during the school holidays. Okay, this is possibly a step too far, but how on earth do those feet go up a size every holiday? 3. Give your child the back-toschool list, your debit card and a trolley. Go to the nearest cafe and get them to find you when they are done. They should be at least two hours given that half the things on the list will be impossible to find. 4. Enrol your children in a Steiner school where there is no uniform requirement. 5. Teach your children the gentle art of borrowing equipment. This won't endear them to other students, teachers or parents, but desperate times call for desperate measures. 6. Remember that buying back-toschool equipment is a necessary stage of the joyous moment when your children go back to school. It's far too late to implement any of these for this year, and maybe another suggestion for you is to start a lot earlier. Impossible deadline shopping is guaranteed to be stressful. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

News Of The Area

Coffs Harbour Jetty DEAR News Of The Area, PROPERTY NSW (now part of Planning Industry and Environment) proposed to “activate” the jetty foreshores for mixed use development to generate “substantial economic activity and jobs” with little consideration for open space, public facilities or parking. This has been revealed in documents reluctantly released by a freedom of information request (NSW GIPA Act). When, in 2017, GHD were contracted to engage with the community there was a clear government expectation of finding community support for development. However, community responses clearly demonstrated strong support for open space, better public facilities,

Election thoughts DEAR News Of The Area, RELATIVE to Local Government elections, why do we vote for a Board of Councillors and then not trust it to appoint its own Mayoral Chairperson? Why should we need to specifically vote for the Mayor? Why do we think we know better than our elected Board of Councillors, which needs to work with said Mayoral Chairperson? If the situation becomes unworkable, the Board can change its Chair after 12 months. It’s not a matter of ‘democracy’, it’s a matter of leadership. Any Mayor is simply the Chairperson of the Board which the people have elected to serve them as Council.

parking, recreation and restaurants/ cafes and little support for any substantial development. More disturbing is the attitude of the department towards the community. In the description of services required by the department, the community is excluded as a stakeholder in the planning of the foreshores precinct. Furthermore, “community expectations are to be met and managed” whilst “stakeholder views are to be considered”. One department goal was to “Minimise the opportunities for further public criticism of the project” and “minimise … delays … by ensuring issues and expectations are identified and managed”. The community is being treated with contempt and the process appears a As voters, we must take responsibility for our own decisions regarding those we choose to govern us, and we must learn to trust our own judgement of the worth of each councillor we select for office. If our judgement proves faulty then each becomes a target at the following election. As responsible voters we each must do our homework before ticking boxes: who, of these nominees, will serve us best? We must insist that each aspiring councillor brings forward their own attitudes and skills, wrapped up in a willingness to serve the whole. It’s all about transparency, integrity, a willingness to listen, an understanding of, and the courage, to lead. Forget business/political affiliations. They mean nothing except to a limited selection of already influential beneficiaries, certainly not to the general run of voters. Let us not confuse ‘democracy’ with ‘naivety’ – witness The Donald! Regards, Gwyn AUSTEN, Red Rock.

managed sham. In the released documents, the section “Current Status” was entirely redacted for commercial reasons. Prior to 2017 there were widespread concerns about secrecy, back-room deals, building heights, overdevelopment and even corruption. The process was stopped because of the courage of a whistleblower. The current attempt started with the misdirection of the community engagement process and failure to recognise the community as a stakeholder. Subsequently, there has been a failure to publicly acknowledge community opinions, continued secrecy and a refusal to both respond to community requests for explanations and to follow Ministerial

requests. It seems as if the government and department have learned little. The department cannot even produce a considered and rational set of objectives for this critical asset. Community involvement to date appears as a box-ticking exercise, a managed process to achieve a predetermined result that substantially ignores community opinions. It is time the Minister, Melinda Pavey, and our Member, Gurmesh Singh, spoke out, brought the department back into line and confirmed the community role as a stakeholder. After all, it is the community’s foreshores, not the governments. The government is simply a custodian. Regards, David JEFFERY, Coffs Harbour Jetty.

Democracy Coffs Harbour and USA Senate style DEAR News Of The Area, JULIAN May (Opinion & Letters ‘Democracy Coffs Harbour style’) compares voting in our Council to a debate with four speakers on each side and is unhappy that the chairperson has a tie breaking vote. I remind Julian that, unlike a debate, Councillors do not have to vote in a 4-4 block. They are free to vote 5-3 or 6-2 or even unanimously. In the event of a 4-4 vote, the Mayor is free to cast her vote for either faction

Can I draw a direct comparison with the USA, the home of democracy. The recently democratically elected Senate has 50 Republicans on one side and 50 Democrats on the other side. If a debate ends in a 50-50 vote, the new Vice President Kamala Harris can cast a tie breaking vote. No different to a 4-4 vote in our council with the Mayor able to cast a tie breaking vote. Welcome to Coffs Harbour democracy in action. Regards, Mark HENSCHKE, Coffs Harbour Jetty.

NSW Government dismissal of GKNP DEAR News Of The Area,

ANDREW Vivian’s article in last week’s NOTA (15 January Edition) outlining the NSW Government's appalling dismissal of our mid north coast region’s koala subpopulation comes as no surprise. Sadly, this will continue to be the case, while our local member and his neighboring mid north coast colleagues continue to deny there is a problem with

local koala populations, and pursue their ‘she’ll be right’ attitude. Unfortunately, current research shows ‘she won’t be right’. The Great Koala National Park proposal, created by locals with expertise and local data offers significant long term benefits to our region, over and above securing our local koala population. We need elected representatives who are prepared to bat for it and have the

Growth management DEAR News Of The Area, AN open letter to the Coffs Harbour Mayor, Councillors and residents of Coffs Harbour region. This paper refers to ‘Coffs Harbour Local Growth Management Strategy 2020 – Coffs Harbour 2040 and beyond’. It is noted that this document was conditionally approved in December 2020 and may change subject to later submissions. In this paper this report is referred to as ‘the strategy’. The residential development of the Coffs Harbour Region has now reached a critical situation. Existing residential development of Coffs Harbour has been constrained by topography which includes close proximity to the eastern edge of the Great Dividing Range. Existing residential development may also have been constrained by a lack of

appropriate engineering input in the past. The currently proposed new concept of ‘compact city’ (residential lots may be subdivided to 400 sq. meters) appears to be appropriate for all areas proposed, with the exception of those areas within the catchments of Newports and Coffs Creeks. This is due to the fact that the proposed new concept is designed to increase the density of population in the catchments of Newports Creek and Coffs Creek. Such increased density of population will, necessarily, result in an increased proportion of sealed areas, and such increase will, inevitably, result in greater runoff and greater flood flows in the catchment areas of the relevant creeks. In addition, proposed development to the west of the by-pass in North Boambee Valley will result in increased flood flows in Newports Creek. Such increased flood flows will almost

Currently, it is pretty obvious that will not happen while those elected can continue to ignore the concerning predictions without fearing a loss of support from the electorate.

As this problem is not addressed, no mention of possible solutions to the problem are made in the above strategy. Obviously, proper management of such drainage/creek catchments requires the adoption of specific management strategies. An increase in flood frequencies and flows due to changing climatic conditions should also be addressed. It is strongly suggested that consideration be given to revising the plans for the provision of appropriate residential land for the future development of Coffs Harbour. Unfortunately, consideration of the matters raised in this letter, appear to be omitted from the above strategy.

Opportunity missed? DEAR News Of The Area,

AS a frequent visitor to the Coffs Harbour area, I am excited to hear about the proposed $44m upgrade to the Coffs Ex-Servicemens’ club. However, I am concerned about the opportunity missed by the CEX to rebadge itself with a less confusing and more family friendly acronym. Dinner at the CHEX club sounds vaguely multicultural, and certainly rolls off the tongue more easily than dinner at the CEX club, which always raises eyebrows. And after all, if our national cheese can rebadge itself, surely a Coffs Harbour ExServicemens' club can? Regards, Kaye JOHNSTON, Hawker.

NIGELLA’S COOK, EAT, REPEAT

ABC, 7.30pm

While other cooking shows promise fast, simple, weeknight meals of ﬁve ingredients or less, Nigella Lawson prefers a much more unhurried pace. Her calm manner and utter joy in food is infectious and her creations always delicious. There is almost a mesmerising ritual to the way she prepares and shares her meals. Tonight, recalling her grandmother’s creme caramel, Nigella prepares a caramel custard. Then, with comfort the main intention, she introduces two dishes that are a perfect match: black pudding meatballs and brown butter colcannon. She also shows oﬀ her kitchen gadget cupboard including her electric potato masher.

Depending where you live, you might view the title of this travel show as a little dig in the side as most of the country’s travel plans have been put on hiatus. But because our backyard has seemingly shrunk, it’s refreshing and inspiring to jump on board Ernie Dingo’s jaunts around this gorgeous country of ours. Armchair tourism is reaching new heights. In tonight’s season four return, Ernie is in Queensland, where he travels to Bowen and meets traditional owners who are passionate about saving the sea turtles. Then he heads to the Whitsundays, where the footage of the postcard-perfect settings is almost as good as being there.

MICHAEL MOSLEY: TRUTH ABOUT SLEEP

SBS, 8.30pm

Talk to any new parent and they are sure to tell you – with bleary eyes – that lack of sleep is a legitimate torture device. Health oﬃcials have suggested sleep disruptions, particularly those experienced by shift-workers, could be carcinogenic. We know we need it, but how come so many of us can’t get a decent night’s kip? In this premiere, British journalist Michael Mosley – a chronic insomniac himself – plays guinea pig to a host of pioneering tests to better understand sleep, what gets in the way and what happens when people don’t get enough of it. The team of experts leave us with surprising tips to support a good night’s sleep. 2901

Artwork Design Unveiled By Andrew VIVIAN EACH year, the Screenwave International Film Festival (SWIFF) enhances the regional cultural identity of the region by commissioning artworks from local Coffs Coast artists to be the face of the festival – impacting what audiences see, hear, and experience. The SWIFF 2021 festival’s front cover artwork has been designed

by local Coffs Harbour artist and gallery owner, Alyson Pearson, owner of Alykat Creative. She brings over fifteen years of graphic design experience working with brands all over the world and has developed a unique creative style, often combining digital imagery with her hand drawn biro and watercolour illustrations. Alyson’s signature surreal and whimsical concepts lend themselves to interesting and fun projects, with the SWIFF 2021 cover

artwork being the latest. For this year’s project, Alyson collaborated with a number of local artists and the SWIFF team to produce an image that speaks to the experience of being in the pulsing heart of the film festival atmosphere. The image includes model Tigist Teressa, who also owns Mana Chita Ethiopian restaurant in Coffs Harbour, as the subject of a light-hearted surreal reflection of what happens when we experience films that push our boundaries and challenge our ideas.

Youth between the ages of 12-24 are invited to skate, paint and strum sessions from 10am at Brelsford Park on January 30, followed by a free screening of Chasing

Mavericks at Cavanbah Hall. Nana Glen Hall will host the final set of workshops on Sunday 31 January, from 10am-2pm. The three events will give young people an opportunity to get creative and active in collaboration with unique local businesses.

The design utilised a photo of Tigist taken by Bellingen photographer Jay Black, from And The Trees Photography, who designed last year’s front cover artwork, with the final concept design and artwork produced by Alyson Pearson. “The opportunity to experiment with weird and wonderful ideas was encouraged throughout the entire design process, which helped shape a playful yet sophisticated final design.” SWIFF 2021, which is again presented by Ashton Designs, will take place from April 14 to 29 in Coffs Harbour. For more information visit www.swiff.com.au.

Grappling the global phenomenon of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

q Experienced Martial Artist Bernard Town sparring with Chris Rossi By David WIGLEY THE global phenomenon of Jiu Jitsu was introduced by the Gracie family in Brazil and has been widely adopted by several sports including UFC (MMA), NRL teams, the Police Force and Special Forces around the world. To learn more about this global phenomenon, we caught up with Coffs Harbour's Cris Hisa who is secondgeneration Japanese and born and raised in Brazil where he learnt ‘the gentle art’ of Jiu Jitsu. For Cris, Jiu Jitsu is not just a sport, it’s a way of life, and now Cris is fulfilling his lifelong dream of establishing a Jiu Jitsu School in Coffs Harbour. “We moved to Coffs at the beginning of last year and I decided to start this BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) school to fulfil my dream of sharing my knowledge with others, trying to have more people hooked up in this fascinating martial art, so powerful and effective but at the same time without the aggression of throwing a punch neither kicking, BJJ is actually also known as the ‘gentle art’,” said Mr Hisa. “Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is based on self defence techniques and combines body mechanics to increase strength to control

Bernard Town is an experienced Martial Artist in several disciplines and has a thirst to keep acquiring knowledge and developing his skills. “Chris has excellent technical knowledge, that’s why I’m here, Coffs Harbour doesn’t have anyone like Chris, he is unique,” said Mr Town. Mark Rossi took up Jiu Jitsu to spend more time with family and has been practicing for 3 years. “I started Jiu Jitsu so me and my

daughter could do a sport together, it’s a sport you can do as a family,” said Mr Rossi. Chris elaborated on the universal appeal of Jiu Jitsu. “BJJ is great for anyone, men, women and children, for the young and the older, for the big and small, It gives you a boost in confidence as you learn what leverage and

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said hosting another Big Bash match would reinforce Coffs Harbour’s reputation as a sport and major events capital. “Cricket on the Coffs Coast is very strong and this year has been no exception as we’re seeing constantly competitive matches all the way from kids’ cricket to first grade,” he said. “Hosting another Big Bash event here in Coffs will be a massive win for our economy, attracting visitors who will spend money locally, injecting cash into the tills of local businesses. “But the highlight will be the look on the faces of local kids as they watch their Big Bash heroes and dream of following in their footsteps. I congratulate our city council on this funding allocation.” Deputy Premier John Barilaro said the NSW Government is committed to supporting cricket in regional NSW and bringing a

fixture to Coffs Harbour will be a chance for locals to see their heroes live in action. “As Aussies we love our cricket and this is particularly true in Coffs Harbour where a large social network often revolves around the local cricket club,” he said. “T20 cricket has given new life to the game, keeping kids interested and attracting new fans. Now locals in Coffs Harbour will get a chance to once again see a live BBL fixture in their hometown thanks to this funding from the NSW Government.” Acting Minister for Sport Geoff Lee said the NSW Government was pleased to support Coffs Harbour’s efforts to host a game after the success of the first game in BBL09. “Last year C.ex Coffs International Stadium was packed to the rafters with cricket fans cheering on the Sixers as they belted the Adelaide Strikers to all parts of the ground,” he said. “Following the success of that game, the NSW

Coffs aims for Big Bash match THE first ever Big Bash League game to be held at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium was a historic moment for Coffs Harbour sport. The Sydney Sixers and Adelaide Strikers put on a show for local fans last January as the spectacle of world-class T20 cricket entertained nearly 10,000 spectators. Flash forward a year, and the spectre of COVID-19 meant the cancellation of the Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat match initially scheduled to be played earlier this month in Coffs Harbour. Now the Big Bash is a possibility to return to Coffs Harbour in the next BBL season thanks to a grant from the NSW Government. Coffs Harbour has secured a $100,000 grant from the NSW Government in its efforts to host another Big Bash League match at C.ex Coffs International Stadium q

Coffs Harbour will look to host another Big Bash game like it did in 2020.

development as a player and as a young man embodies all that is rugby. “The Western Force have made a great decision, and shows that Coffs Harbour is continuing to be a real breeding ground (across all teams) for developing players, with its strong competition and great coaches.”

WITH just weeks to go until the new Group 2 Rugby League season kicks off, the Sawtell Panthers have finalised their coaches and back training as they prepare for the upcoming season which begins with a pre-season competition in early March before the season proper kicks off in April. Club stalwart Adam Louden will be head coach in 2021, and is joined in the Panthers coaching ranks by Steve Sanders (Reserves), Peter Barrett (Under 18s) and Stewart Brown (Ladies Tag). Panthers president Alan Bell said there was an air of confidence at the club heading into this season based on the credentials of the coaching staff and the support of an enthusiastic and hard-working committee. "Like many bush clubs we have felt the impacts of COVID-19 and have approached the year with a view to consolidating and rebuilding,” he said.

“With the quality of coaches we have on board we expect to be very competitive on the park. “Our focus will be to establish an environment where players can really enjoy their footy and at the same time maximise their playing potential.” Bell also acknowledged the contribution of the club’s core supporter base. "The Sawtell Panthers have for many years been fortunate to have the backing of many loyal sponsors and supporters,” he said. “We thank them for their continued involvement and look forward to giving them plenty to be proud of this year." First grade coach Adam Louden said the Panthers would welcome any prospective players in all grades. The Panthers have been holding training sessions each Monday and Thursday from 6pm at Rex Hardaker Oval. Any enquiries from players or sponsors can be made to Alan Bell on 0404575832.

North Coast futsal players take on nation’s finest By Aiden BURGESS A NORTH Coast team has taken on and beaten some of the nation’s finest futsal players on the Gold Coast last week. The North Coast United squad took part in the Gold Coast International– Australia’s biggest futsal tournament held over four days at the Gold Coast Sports & Leisure Centre. The North Coast team took on other region’s from throughout Australia, including teams from Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Victoria, and Port Macquarie. North Coast United finished second in their pool heading into the final stage of

the competition, having four wins and a draw from their first six games. North Coast United faced the Victorian EFA Eagles in their knockout quarter final. They would eventually go down 3-1, finishing a successful tournament with four wins and a draw from their seven games. North Coast United manager Harley Parker said his squad had beaten teams that had much more experience and continuity playing together. “It is incredible as we have never played together before and these teams are semi-professional,” he said. Parker identified the key to how his side were able to

beat more seasoned rivals. “We just played really good futsal and they weren’t used to our style,” he said. The proud manager said there were two clear highlights of his side's time at the Gold Coast International. “The highlight was probably beating South Brisbane 6-2 when they were undefeated after five games and they finished on top of our group,” he said. “Another highlight was making the quarter finals when we had never played together before against semiprofessional teams that play together year round, and we could have easily gone further but we just ran out of legs.”

were set for a huge year. “2021 is going to be one of the biggest in the club’s history,” he said. “Collectively in 2020 Coffs experienced tremendous growth with playing talent coming far and wide. “It’s a great privilege

“The club is really excited to announce such an experienced coaching group all of which have strong ties to Rugby Union in Coffs Harbour,” he said. The Snappers will field 11 teams in 2021 comprising over 220 players and 26 coaches. The Snappers have produced successful campaigns in recent

half time A-League game and to experience playing in such an exciting atmosphere at our Coffs International Stadium, definitely a highlight for them,” said Samantha. Seasoned football coach Nathan Silvy is looking forward to the new campaign and working with new players. “Players and coaches are excited to be back on the pitch for the season ahead, we are encouraged by the group of players we have and look forward to seeing how they further develop their football skills in 2021,” Mr Silvy.

Diggers maintain top spot in Coffs cricket By Aiden BURGESS THEY have been the standout team for most of the season. Now Diggers Cricket Club Inc. have maintained top spot on the first-grade ladder with a 19run victory against the Northern Districts Rebels. Diggers recorded their sixth win of the season during the latest round of the Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s first grade season. Diggers opened the batting and posted 8/167 in their one-day match at Fitzroy Oval. The Diggers bowling attack proved to be the match winners of the day as they bowled out the Rebels for 148. Hayden Cross took 3/33 from his 6 overs, while Jonathon Paff took 2/15 from his 8 overs in a

great economical spell. Diggers captain Jonathon Paff said it was a good feeling to break his side's two match losing streak, especially against a quality side such as the Rebels. “Yeah it was really good as Northern Districts has some Premier League players playing down as well, so it was a top quality game that went back and forth a few times during the day,” he said. Paff said his side were fortunate to finish on a total of 167. “We were lucky to make 167, as we were 5/73 after about 25 overs and struggling,” he said. “But Jesse Ferret, Reuben Carey and Hayden Cross all made quick fire 20s with some big 6s to get us to 167. “The Rebels were starting

to really get away from us when Blake Austin and Baltej Mangat combined. “Luckily Brad Carey and I combined to dry up some runs before and after drinks and took a few key wickets before Reuben Carey and Hayden cleaned up the tail, and Mitch Williams got the match breaking wicket at the end with his first over of the day as they crept closer to the score.” Sawtell kept its semi-final hopes alive with a vital two wicket win against Coffs Colts at Richardson Park. The Sawtell bowlers wreaked havoc bowling out the Colts for 125, with Scott Griffiths the chief destroyer taking 4/32 from his 8 overs, while Toby Bailey took 3/13 from his 4.2 overs.

Harwood opened the betting in their one-dayer at Harwood Oval and finished at 9/180 from 40 overs. The Harwood bowlers needed to perform well to get the win against Sawtell, and they duly delivered restricting Sawtell to 8/157. Richie Gallichan top scored for Sawtell with a captain’s knock of 57, while Luke Neal was next best on 44. The Northern Districts Rebels won their second one day match in a row beating the North Coast Cricket Council’s Development squad by 31 runs at Woolgoolga. The Rebels opened with a score of 7/218 led by a superb captain’s knock of 85 from Taj Dosanjh. Coby Tabor top scored for the NCCC Development squad with 82, but it wasn’t enough as the Rebels bowlers did the job led by Ian Slapp’s spell of 3/29.
