Pool Power! By Andrea FERRARI SAWTELL pool will stay open throughout May with reduced opening hours; and if numbers are good, possibly continuing through June. Councillor Paul Amos told News Of The Area, “The tight knit community of Sawtell Pool Users put forward a compelling case for extending the pool season and councillors applied some flexibility to support this.” This is a coup for the community who showed their passion for the pool’s opening hours by writing to, and lobbying councillors and signing petitions. The May schedule encompasses: swim squads, aqua aerobics and mums and bubs, opening 6am to midday on weekdays.

COFFS COASTNews Of The Area Community campaign keeps Sawtell Pool open for coming months www.newsofthearea.com.au

FROM Page 1 This is a unique pool with a colourful history, and numerous swim stars have learned to swim here. Pool users represent a wide-ranging demographic, as seen on this week's front cover shot, which features one of the pools youngest users in Amber Woods (5) sharing the pool with one of the oldest, Jan Quant (86), as well as Richie Goddard, a NSW Masters Champion Swimmer who swims rain, hail or shine and Sawtellian of the Year 2021, Mick Migavigan. John Ives from the Special Olympics team – that’s him doing the backflip splash in the photo. Lorraine Orchard, a swimmer/supporter said, “Please keep the pool open, it’s so good for our health and wellbeing.” Judith Wilks said, “This would be a terrific health and well-being boost to the local community, to be able to continue their individual exercise programs, aqua therapy and fitness classes, and for swimming lessons and squads to be able to continue through the winter months.” Christine Gardiner who loves her Aquafit classes, favours the pool’s convenience to home and work.

Friday, 30 April, 2021

Using the pool for therapy exercises, Eliana Jones said winter opening is awesome, “Otherwise my health will go downhill.” Priscilla Piper uses the pool for aqua aerobics and laps. Mayor Denise Knight told News Of The Area, “The users and community approached me via email and phone with the request to keep the pool open for an extra month. “I spoke to the staff to see if this was achievable and affordable, so for me to be able to provide this was a no-brainer for the Sawtell community.”

Australians urged to book Appeal to flu vaccination now while find missing they wait for their Covid teen vaccination

Sarah Le Claire-Minns.

AUSTRALIANS are being urged by pharmacists not to be complacent and to make flu vaccinations a priority along with receiving the coronavirus vaccine in 2021 to ensure effective protection against the two separate and different viruses. Coffs Harbour TerryWhite Chemmart Pharmacist owner Tanya Maloney said the key message for Australians when scheduling their flu and COVID-19 vaccinations in 2021 is to allow at least 14 days between each one as recommended by The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation. “People should not be lulled into a false sense of complacency about the influenza virus. “It is highly infectious, and it is important for people to continue getting vaccinated and to plan now so they can be vaccinated for both the flu and COVID-19 in a timely manner,” said Ms Maloney. “In all cases, the flu vaccination should be given at least 14 days apart from any dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. “An annual flu vaccination is the best way

to prevent yourself from getting the flu, and from then passing it on to someone else in the community. “It’s important that people remember the health risks of the influenza virus - an incredibly infectious respiratory disease that can leave people unwell for a week or more, and in the worst cases, result in hospitalisation or death. “The flu kills between 1500 and 3000 Australians a year – we cannot forget it. “While 2020 was rightly about avoiding COVID-19, a potential unintended by-product of that may be less exposure to common pathogens and less resilient and ready immune systems to deal with infections like the flu,” said Ms Maloney. “Furthermore, while social distancing and strict hygiene helped to curb the spread of the flu last year, relaxed social distancing this year may allow the flu viruses to recirculate. “That’s compounded by the fact that flu vaccinations have taken a back seat with all the focus on the current COVID-19 vaccine roll out. “We are starting to see an increase in sales of cough, cold and flu related products suggesting that there are cold and flu symptoms among the population already. “That is why a flu vaccination is particularly critical now. “There is a lot of misunderstanding about COVID-19 and influenza,” added Ms Maloney. “The fact is they are different viruses, they are both dangerous and vaccines for both are equally important. “A COVID vaccine will not protect you against the flu and vice versa.”

Ms Maloney added that while pharmacies were well prepared to commence distributing the COVID-19 vaccine shortly, now is the time to get a flu jab. “There is still a process that the Federal Government and the regulators are working through with respect to the local roll out of the COVID-19 vaccine through pharmacies, but flu vaccinations are available now. In New South Wales, pharmacist immunisers can vaccinate anyone aged over 10 while those aged over 65 are advised to access their FREE flu vaccination through their GP,” Ms Maloney said. “We are also offering a family flu clinic scheduled for Thursday 6 and Saturday 8 May which provides an instore flu vaccination service by a nurse-immuniser for multiple family members from two years and older,

Coffs Coast Baseball Association scores funding to upgrade facilities By David TUNE

ON April 24, Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh congratulated the Coffs Harbour Baseball association on successfully securing $17,000 in funding from the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership fund. “The Association members are welcoming construction of a new concrete slab and scorer’s box on Diamond 2, and replacement of the scorer’s box on Diamond 1,” Mr Singh said. “This grassroots project is part of the association’s blueprint to further upgrade and develop facilities for

their 200-plus players and four clubs, Woolgoolga Bluesox, Coffs Harbour All Stars, Sawtell Dodgers and Bellingen Brewers.” Like many group activities throughout the country, the Association was unable to hold a competition in 2020, and then had to postpone this year’s season opener for two weeks due to the rain events that occurred through the start of the month. Gurmesh was invited to make the first pitch of the season and put the ball across the plate to open the day's A grade competition. “It’s fantastic to see our baseballers back in action, and I was honoured to be invited to throw the honorary first pitch before A Grade,” he said.

In opening the season, Association President Ben McCall welcomed the funding and said, “This grant will help us to redevelop some of our infrastructure and stimulate growth in our sport by providing improved facilities, and we are planning to seek further funding for other new features in the future.” President Ben also paid tribute to the sad passing of club stalwarts Kathy McCall and Cate Walsh, both of whom made valuable contributions to the association, and who are sorely missed by the community.

By Emma DARBIN PLANS by Coffs Harbour City Council to refund local businesses who missed out on receiving Business Incentive rebates due to an issue with the wording of a Council

policy have been deferred by Council. The Business Incentives Policy was adopted by Council at a meeting in September 2018. The intent of the Policy was to lessen the financial burden of commencing a new business. In late 2019, Council noted an issue with the wording in

the Policy, specifically that the term ‘business premises’ and ‘business use’ was referenced rather than ‘commercial use/ commercial premises’ in the eligibility criteria. As a result of the different wording, businesses such as retail shops, offices, retail buildings, cafes, restaurants, pubs and other food and beverage operators may have been excluded from the Business Incentive Policy. In February 2020 Council agreed to change the wording

the end of last week’s Council meeting councillors resolved to defer the Proposed Business Incentive Policy refunds, and for Council to receive a report covering the history of the six impacted applicants who a refund may apply if refunds are to be applied.

Council vote to defer Business Incentive Policy refunds

from ‘business premises/use’ to ‘commercial premises/use’. Council staff had recommended that Council refund Section 64 and Car Parking Contributions to businesses who were excluded from the Business Incentive Policy in a report presented at Council’s Ordinary Meeting on Thursday 22 April. “By agreeing to refund contributions to businesses who were excluded from accessing the Business Incentive Policy, Council is upholding the true intent of the policy,” the Council report stated. “It could be considered inequitable that retail, office and food & beverage operators who submitted a development application between 13 September 2018 and 13 February 2020 were charged for Section 64 and Car Parking Contributions, particularly when other operators (such as a hair dressing salon or a dry cleaning business) did not have to pay these contributions due to an unintended consequence.” However, in a closed confidential Council session at

Free solar and energy advice FREE advice on solar systems and energy efficiency is now available for Coffs Harbour residents. A new partnership between Coffs Harbour City Council and the Australian Energy Foundation will provide Coffs Harbour residents with free advice on PV solar systems and energy efficiency, as well as an opportunity to purchase solar and battery storage systems through carefully selected and vetted suppliers. Coffs Harbour City Mayor Denise Knight said Council recognises that many residents are interested in solar, battery storage and energy efficiency, but may be deterred by the complexity of finding quality products and trusted installers. “Over 30% of homes in Coffs Harbour have rooftop solar so we are pleased to be expanding our services,” Cr Knight said. “This service will help guide residents to find the most suitable solar and battery system for them, helping us as a community respond to climate change. “This exciting new partnership will support Coffs Harbour City Council in achieving our Sustainability Policy and Climate Change Policy, including the goal

of sourcing all electricity for the organisation from renewable sources by 2030.” The Australian Energy Foundation works with homes, businesses and all levels of government (including local councils) to tackle the climate

emergency and to accelerate the transition to an equitable zero carbon society. As the nation’s leading energy organisation, the foundation has supported 27,000 households with energy advice and abated 372,000 tonnes

of emissions since its launch in 2013. Coffs Harbour City residents can access the free energy advice service online or by phone until 30 June 2021, and can make the most of a free twentyminute phone Energy

was initiated travelling through Korora before being terminated due to safety concerns. A short time later, police patrolling the Coffs Harbour CBD saw the Peugeot stopped in heavy traffic outside the police station. The driver, a 30-yearold man, was removed from the vehicle and arrested. He was taken to Coffs Harbour Police

is made up of funds that have specific and restricted uses – such as, water and sewer reserves, the Domestic Waste Management reserve, Developer Contributions and, as yet unspent grant funds.” Mr Beswick said Developer Contributions represent only about 10% of Council’s cash reserves. “Those funds can only be spent for those purposes, but the remainder is available to help pay off the loan funds

that we use to finance capital projects that provide the wide range of services the community expects through new, renewed and upgraded facilities,” Mr Beswick said. In the long term, earnings from investments can vary due to economic conditions and financial markets.

term targeted assistance for recovery activities, including safety inspections, repairs to premises and internal fittings, and replacement of stock to help the community return to business as usual. Federal Member for Cowper, Pat Conaghan said the road to recovery for

communities hardest hit will take some time, which is why repairs need to start as soon as possible. “Small businesses are the lifeblood of our community, and the Australian and NSW Governments are committed to ensuring they receive the best possible support for their

long-term recovery,” said Mr Conaghan. “We want to see these businesses back on their feet and we’re prepared to do what it takes to protect local jobs and deliver assistance where it is most needed. “Wherever impacted small businesses are across the

Small Business Rebate Up and Running

q Element Bar at Coffs Harbour Jetty in full sociable swing.

SMALL businesses across the region can sign up for a new $1,500 rebate scheme to help cover the cost of local and state and government fees and charges. Darrin Northey, owner of the popular Element Bar at Coffs Jetty, and Dark Arts Brew & Bar in Coffs, told News Of The Area, “Given that we’re still operating with Covid-related government restrictions that limit the way we can run our business yet paying all licences in full, it’s refreshing to have the government contributing in some way.” Small businesses are doing it tough with restrictions that affect socialising at cafes, clubs and bars yet paying the licences fees in full now that the waiver period has ended. Member for Coffs Harbour, Gurmesh Singh

Woolgoolga school leaders honoured AROUND 100 young Northern Beaches school leaders were recognised for their contributions to their school communities at a morning tea with Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan over the recent school holidays. Guest speaker for the event was Woolgoolga local Dr Duan March, a veterinarian who has worked in amazing locations around the country including the Great Barrier Reef, Raine Island and currently works at the Dolphin Marine Conservation Park at Coffs Harbour.

Duan also established the Dolphin Marine Rescue, a not-for-profit charity devoted to the wellbeing of Australian marine and terrestrial wildlife along the NSW Coast through rescue, rehabilitation, release, conservation, education and research. “Duan is a wonderful example of someone who followed his dreams and made them a reality,” Kevin said. “Student leaders play an important role in the life of their school community and it’s important to recognise them and thank them.”

said, “Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy and supporting them equals supporting jobs.” Gurmesh Singh said the Small Business Fees and Charges Rebate was designed to benefit tens of thousands of small businesses across the state as NSW continues its post-pandemic recovery. “Liquor licences, food authority licences, council rates and outdoor seating fees are just a few examples of the fees and charges that can be claimed back through this rebate scheme. “I encourage all eligible small businesses in my community to register for the $1,500 credit through Service NSW.” He assured that claiming the rebate would be simple and could be done online. “The Government’s November 2020 Budget committed nearly $500 million to this rebate, which will leave more money in the pockets of eligible small businesses, sole traders and non-profit organisations,” he said. The rebate will be available until 30 June 2022. To apply and for more information, including the program guidelines, visit www. service.nsw.gov.au/smallbusiness-fees-and-chargesrebate.

NSW Mounties reunion to take place in Coffs Harbour

NSW Mounted Police celebrating 190 years of Mounted Policing at Government House.

By David TUNE THE NSW Mounted Police Bi-Annual Reunion will be held in Coffs Harbour on Saturday 1 May 2021. The NSW Mounted police unit was created on December 7, 1825 and is the oldest continuous operational Mounted unit in the world, predating both the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (1863) and the London Metropolitan Mounted Police (1828). The actual reunion will be for all serving and former Mounted Police and their wives or partners and will include a three-course q NSW Mounted Police Officers on patrol on Bondi Beach.

luncheon at the ‘The Hub’ at the Park Beach Holiday Park, Coffs Harbour. The Mounties will have horses at the function from 12:30 to 2:30 and the public are welcome to come and catch up with them. In the early 1900's the NSW Mounted Police had strength of over 800 personnel and over 900 horses, and current numbers are 36 officers and approximately 38 horses, with today’s duties including performing operational support in Public Order, Crowd Management, and Mounted patrols in the Sydney CBD, suburbs and country areas. The remainder of duties are dedicated

to Ceremonial, Protocol and public relations type duties and the training and exercising of the horses. Event organiser and retired Mountie Murray Smith told News Of The Area, “There are currently around 60 retired Mounties, and we look forward to catching up and sharing camaraderie and stories of our shared experiences. “We are also very much looking forward to a visit from the current Officer in Charge Chief Inspector Christopher Stiles.” Serving officers will also be working and patrolling at the Coffs Harbour Show at the showgrounds.

SWIFF breaks attendance records JUST nine days into its 16-day program, for the 5th consecutive year, the Screenwave International Film Festival broke its attendance record, with more audiences than ever finding an appetite for world cinema on the Coffs Coast. This year SWIFF has over 120 sessions, including 70 different feature films selected, 25 short films, industry events, live soundtrack performances, and gala events, attracting over 10,000 attendees for the first time. The previous record of 9410 ticketed festival goers, set in January 2020, was broken last Friday night, with six days and approximately 50 screenings left still to go at the 2021 festival. “There are a lot of new faces at the festival this year. “It’s wonderful seeing the festival community grow and welcome new folks into cinemas. Lots of people have been travelling from around regional NSW especially,” said Festival Co-Director Dave Horsley. The 2021 festival, presented by Sawtell tailor-made furniture company Ashton

www.coffsharbourshowsociety.com.au

Designs, has seen many sold out and highcapacity sessions at this year’s festival, largely possible due to the relaxed COVID restrictions that the new April timeslot has afforded. SWIFF organisers attribute the new attendance record to the festival maturing, having richer programming options available, audiences having increased cultural appetite through COVID, and through incentives like the Dine & Discover program. With the festival now cemented as part of the Australian film festival circuit, attracting prominent filmmakers, festival patrons, and film premieres, the program will continue to grow in 2022. “We recognise it’s a great privilege to have a festival at all this year. “But if we’re going to throw a festival, we always want to make sure it’s going to be our best one. “Each year SWIFF gets a little closer to the one we’ve always had in our heads – and we’re fortunate that with every new attendance record that gets broken, we take a little step closer to that vision,” explained Dave Horsley. “Thank you to everyone heading along and being part of SWIFF this year.”

Ace experience for Indigenous youth THE Harbour Tennis Academy has been serving up skills and drills to a new generation of tennis players from the Coffs Harbour Indigenous community. A six-week program provided Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth with an opportunity to learn the basics of the game in a friendly and familiar environment. Experience was varied amongst the group of 13 orange ball participants and four teens, but it didn’t take long for the beginners to find their feet. “My kids liked learning new skills, making new friends and trying something new that they haven’t tried before,” said parent Casey Reid. The program allowed the group’s more experienced students to take their game to the next level. “It was a good way for her to advance her skills in the

game, build confidence and learn from other coaches,” said parent, Fiona Webb. “It’s been a lot of fun getting away from the traditional sports that our kids usually play (and) a really good way for her to explore her natural sporting ability and talents,” Fiona said. Operating out of the Westside Tennis Club, which is on Gumbaynggirr land, the free program provided students with six weeks of group coaching and tennis equipment, including a racquet. “It’s been wonderful to see so many new families come along to our tennis club and it’s been a great opportunity for the kids to have a good go,” said coach, Nardia Pade. The students were buoyed by the support of their local Indigenous community. “Uncle Richard Widders has been instrumental in

getting information out and as a Garlambirla Guuyu Girrwaa Aboriginal Elder he conducted the Welcome to Country for this program,” said head coach Allan Pade. Uncle Richard said the program had been a wonderful

and fantastic experience for the young people. “I asked the kids who wanted to continue into next term, and they all cheered yes, with a few saying they want to go on and become the next Ash Barty,” Uncle Richard

said. A number of students have already signed on for term two. “I feel passionate about tennis now. “It’s fun, you can meet new friends,” said 10-year-old Nat.

The Coffs Harbour Indigenous Tennis program was funded by the ATP Cup Legacy Fund and is one of five participation programs being piloted across NSW in 2021. Category three funding seeks to grow the game of tennis by providing funding for targeted programs aligned to participation growth.

Crowds Flock To ANZAC Day Marches

By Andrew VIVIAN

AFTER a year’s absence because of COVID-19, the Dawn Service and ANZAC Day march in Sawtell and the combined service and march in Coffs Harbour drew large crowds on Sunday. Sawtell organisers estimated that more than 500 people attended the Dawn Service and almost 2,000 people supported the march. 97 year-old David Martin, possibly the only survivor of his WWII machine gun battalion, took part in the Dawn Service and then marched with almost 50 other returned service personnel. The march also included the Bellinger River District Pipe Band, some veteran cars and several school groups. There was no official Dawn Service in Coffs Harbour but wreaths were laid at dawn at the cenotaph next to the Coffs Harbour Ex-

Services Club The Coffs Harbour ANZAC Day service and march were held at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium, with more than 3,000 people in attendance. Robbie Canning accompanied the Last Post on the didgeridoo and also heralded the entry of the marchers. The Air Force cadets followed the Coffs Coast Pipes and Drums into the stadium to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Royal Australian Air Force. The marchers marched around the perimeter of the oval and came to a halt in front of the grandstand and the ex-servicemen and women were given a standing ovation. All age groups were represented amongst the onlookers at both events, indicating that respect for those that have made sacrifices over the years has definitely not diminished.

Bellingen-based Buddhists host screening of awardwinning documentary By Andrea FERRARI

TRICIA and Stephen Abell, who run a Bellingen-based, informal Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, have recently hosted screenings of the award-winning documentary film Return to Gandhi Road at the Majestic Cinemas in Nambucca and Sawtell. Through close connections with two sons

q Sawtell Majestic Cinema showed Return to Gandhi Road, hosted by Bellingen-based Buddhists Tricia and Stephen Abell.

of the film’s central character - Kangyur Rinpoche, one of the 20th century’s foremost Buddhist teachers - Tricia and Stephen first learned of the film being made. “The documentary follows the journey of New Zealander Kim Hegan’s spiritual search in the early 1970s to India, and meeting this remarkable Tibetan Buddhist teacher and family man,” Stephen told News Of The Area. “It shows the workings of the lamas (teachers) who are living examples of how the Buddhist teachings have developed within them, enabling them to offer us techniques to live a

compassionate life, to do no harm to any living being, do good for living beings and learn to know your own mind,” said Stephen. We see the remote landscape across which Kangyur Rinpoche and his family escaped from the Chinese occupation into India. Their journey’s primary intention was to preserve precious and rare Buddhist texts – the words of the Buddha – from sure destruction – using some 68 yaks to do the job. Once in India with his family, they set up an orphanage cum school and monastery, still operating in

Darjeeling. This is where Kim travels for an emotional reconnection with Tulku Pema Wangyal Rinpoche, Kangyur Rinpoche’s eldest son. Interviews with several eminent Tibetan lamas closely associated with Kangyur Rinpoche show some of the faces of Buddhist teachers which Tricia and Stephen have brought to the Bellingen area since 1979. The basic message of the film is how Kangyur Rinpoche stands as an extraordinary example of how Buddhist teachers, since 600 BCE, have helped people lead compassionate lives. Return to Gandhi Road is directed by Yeshe Hegan, daughter of Kim Hegan. The film will soon be available online. For information about local Buddhist events, email Stephen on smabell2@gmail. com.

Upgrade to Graff Avenue park at Toormina

q Aunty Kerrie and some of the team of supporters who assist local people associated with the Graff Avenue Park. Photo: David Tune. By David TUNE GUMBAYNGGIRR Elder Aunty Kerrie Burnet on Monday welcomed the announcement of $75,000 from the NSW Government and Coffs Harbour City Council to upgrade the facilities at the Graff Avenue park and playground. The park currently has a limited playground, basketball court, cricket pitch and a small shelter, where Auntie Kerrie provides a safe play space for up to 68 local

children weekly to join in her informal playgroup each afternoon and evening. The playgroup has its own set of rules for behaviour which is often reinforced by the kids themselves. Aunty Kerrie said, “These kids love to create their own games and just enjoy life, and this park gives them a safe space to let their imaginations run wild and have fun in. “They’ve already started coming up with lists of things

they would like to have at the park, and at the top of the list is a handball court.” Other community support groups such as Blue Sky and Get Connected Toormina, as well as sporting groups regularly engage with local residents through activities at the park. Proposed improvements to the space include upgraded play equipment, a bush tucker garden, shade structures, paths, seating and a larger shelter. Coffs Coast is set to

receive $375,000 from the NSW Government’s Everyone Can Play program to provide new play spaces for our communities. The Sandy Beach Youth Space is welcoming a total grant of $300,000 that should provide a small skate plaza, a half basketball court, seating, shelter, connecting footpaths and shade tree planting.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said play spaces are a key community asset bringing people together in a fun and welcoming environment. “Great public spaces are essential infrastructure for any city or town, particularly in communities that have experienced recent hardship and heartache,” Mr Singh said.

“Creating inclusive play spaces gives people in our community, no matter their age or ability, a place to relax and play.” A statewide list of funding recipients and more information is at: www.planning.nsw.gov.au/ everyonecanPlay.

SCU Drought Hub By Sandra MOON SOUTHERN Cross University will partner in two new Drought Resilience and Innovation Hubs aimed at helping regional areas prepare for drought. The knowledge broker role will assist primary producers and rural and regional communities in their drought preparedness. Southern Cross will translate research into on-the-ground impact by working with research clusters of farmers and consultants and offering primary producers extension services and innovative education in regenerative agriculture. Lorraine Gordon, a beef producer from Ebor, is Director of Strategic Projects at Southern Cross

University and founder of the Regenerative Agriculture Alliance based at the University believes in a farmer-led approach to research and is passionate about agriculture in the Mid North Coast region. Ms Gordon told News of The Area, “As hot and dry conditions increase, it will take collaboration to address the complexity of challenges associated with drought. “We are pleased to offer collaborative and capacitybuilding expertise to equip farmers with the knowledge and skills for continued productivity and selfreliance.” The Southern Cross University partnership is with the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) which heads the Southern Queensland/Northern New South Wales Hub headquartered in Toowoomba with nodes in Stanthorpe,

Roma, Longreach, Narrabri and the Southern Cross University campus in Lismore. The Australian Government will invest $8 million in the USQ-led Hub over four years, with more than $11 million contribution from hub members. Southern Cross will also partner with the University of Tasmania which has the lead role in the Tasmanian Hub, adopting a multistakeholder approach for drought resilience, optimal water management and selfreliance. The Tasmania Hub is supported by partner cocontributions of $13.2 million over four years, including more than $1 million in funding from the University of Tasmania. Ben Roche, Vice President of Engagement at Southern Cross University, said, “Southern Cross is excited to partner with the University

Quarantine Subsidy Helps Farmers By Sandra MOON

BERRIES Australia has welcomed the announcement by the NSW government to subsidise the hotel quarantining of agricultural workers from the Pacific Islands by half. The subsidy announced by NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet and Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall is aimed at assisting critical labour shortages in the agricultural sector. Mandatory hotel quarantine remains a critical part of the State’s COVID defence and any international arrivals are required to enter hotel quarantine in accordance with the Public

q Subsidy for Pacific Labour Scheme workers’ hotel quarantine costs are a welcome move for local farmers.

Celebrate National Banana Day By Andrew VIVIAN

SATURDAY May 1 is National Banana Day and the Coffs Coast is the place to celebrate it. The past year has been a hard one for many people on the land, but, in particular, Australian banana growers have really struggled. First there was the east coast Australian bushfires in early 2020, and then the global pandemic hit. COVID-19 significantly

reduced the supply of international workers to Australian shores, affecting critical labour requirements for farmers. This has resulted in fruit being left to rot, and the cost has been estimated to around $40 million. In 2021 the hardships continued when Tropical Cyclone Niran hit the east coast, severely battering banana farms across Far North Queensland and, in some cases, wiping out entire crops

from the extreme wind. Some companies are running promotions, such as Coles donating 10 cents per kilo of bananas sold to Little Athletics and Australian Bananas running a competition for a bananathemed workout. The Big Banana will have specials such as a chocolate banana split of the day, a bacon, banana and cheese toastie and a banana corn fritter, all featuring bananas grown at the property. There will also be an online banana lolly guessing competition. Although it is estimated

that Australians eat five million bananas each day, the Australian Banana Growers' Council is asking the public to support Australian banana farmers this National Banana Day and every day. The Council highlights the health benefits of bananas, including that they are low in fat, cholesterol and salt, and are good sources of vitamin B6, potassium and carbohydrates. Eating bananas frequently is a win-win.

Health Orders. Mr Perrottet said overseas agricultural workers entering the country under the Pacific Labour Scheme (PLS) or Seasonal Worker Program (SWP) will be eligible for a 50 per cent subsidy of the cost of mandatory quarantine to reduce the cost to industry from $3,000 per person to $1,500 per person for 202021. Mr Marshall said the boost from the NSW government was the most significant move to alleviate the labour shortage to date. “Since international borders shut, we have worked with industry to find a solution that is cost-effective and today’s announcement allows industry and government to share the costs of mandatory quarantine,” Mr Marshall said. “Now, by subsidising half the quarantine costs for overseas agricultural workers, we have made it more commercially viable for the farmers to get the workforce they need.” Berries Australia Chair Peter McPherson said the announcement was welcome ahead of the significant labour needs of the upcoming berry season in northern NSW. “Our calculations indicate that we will need around 16,000 workers for the NSW

berry industry alone between July 2021 and February 2022 and, with the exodus of backpackers, we are reliant on locals and workers from the Pacific,” Mr McPherson said. “Subsidising quarantine costs represents a good balance between ensuring the safety of the Australian community whilst ensuring our agricultural sector can access workers at an economically viable rate and continue to harvest their produce.” Mr McPherson said the NSW berry industry brings nearly $300 million of farm gate value to the Northern NSW economy and is a significant employer of locals in our more long-term roles. “The ability to access workers from the Pacific at a reasonable cost means we can keep these locals in jobs and keep supplying high quality berries to Australian consumers,” he said. “The Pacific worker schemes are highly regulated and only approved employers can employ these workers with strict rules around the conditions of their employment. “The Australian Government has made 22,000 visas available under these schemes.”

Bray Street PCYC moving forward with upgrades By David TUNE

THE Coffs Harbour Police Citizens Youth Club (PCYC) in Bray street is run by PCYC NSW and is a charity empowering young people to survive, and thrive, in partnership with the Police and the community.

Currently the centre runs around 36 fitness classes, 12 kids classes and 33 dance classes with over 150 students, as well as drawing and art classes.

The busy centre is also home to Coffs Coast Judo, Community OOSH, Activate Life and the Safer Drivers course. The $17,535 funding will allow modification and improvement by relocating a current solid wall and replacing it with a full height double glazed glass wall and

doors, which will open up the sports court and improve lighting and ventilation in the middle of the centre.

Centre Manager Katrina Vanderzwan told News Of The Area, “We are very lucky to have secured this grant...

“We are very lucky to have secured this grant, as it will allow us to modernise the centre and put in place a maintenance plan that we otherwise would not be able to implement.” PCYC is unique in that it is a partnership between the community and NSW Police, and is dedicated to supporting local youth with programs at many levels, including the Rise Up program that works towards limiting the impacts of juvenile offending in society. Member for Coffs

Harbour Mr Gurmesh Singh advised that the funding came from the Community Building Partnership program, and that applications are open for the 2021 Community Building Partnership Program, unlocking $27.9m for community infrastructure

Mr Singh said $300,000 is available for projects in each NSW electorate, including ours, and he urges councils and not-for-profit

organisations to apply for the funds they need to deliver projects with social, environmental and recreational outcomes. “Local sports clubs,

charities, schools and museums are just some of the groups that benefit from this program,” Mr Singh said.

Toormina McDonalds DA denied

By Emma DARBIN

APPROVAL of a proposed Toormina Gardens McDonald's fast food outlet has been refused by Coffs Harbour City councillors, following a passionate six-month long community campaign against the development. Coffs Harbour City Council staff had recommended approval of the development in a report presented at Council’s recent Ordinary Meeting on Thursday 22 April. Toormina Community Preschool director Kerry Stichbury spoke against the proposed Toormina McDonalds development at the recent Council meeting on behalf of the preschool committee, preschool families and children of the preschool. “We are not against McDonalds and their application, but we are against the location because we have major concerns that it’s going to just exacerbate the already known problems in our area,” Ms Stichbury said. “Our greatest effect that we feel we will face is the safety and emotional and social wellbeing of the children and that’s related to the traffic and anti-social behaviour. “Our preschool’s back fence where children play is located in less than 100 metres of the proposed site, well

within earshot of the outlet.” McDonald's owner operator for the Coffs Harbour region and operator of the proposed Toormina Gardens McDonalds Dave Munro spoke on behalf of McDonalds Australia. “If approved McDonalds Toormina Gardens will create approximately 120 new full time and part time casual jobs for locals,” Mr Munro said. “We anticipate at least 100 of those new jobs will go to local youths. “The proposal will also provide an initial economic investment of more than $4.5 million dollars and generate up to 100 jobs during the construction phase.” Cr Tegan Swan asked Mr Munro why a low socioeconomic area such as Toormina was targeted for a new McDonalds store. Mr Munro stated that there had been “significant growth in this area”. “There is a large population area in Toormina and Sawtell that we see that we are not being able to service well today,” he said. “It’s clear to us that we can service the community.” Rachel McNeil from SLR Consulting, the town planning consultancy who lodged the development application on behalf of McDonalds, spoke for the development.

“It complies with all relevant and applicable planning legislation,” Ms McNeil said. “It has been acknowledged that McDonalds, and any other business for that matter, can’t control individual behaviours. “What we can do however is provide a premise which is safe to visit and which discourages antisocial behaviour by mitigation measures.” After hearing from public speakers on the issue, Cr Keith Rhoades moved a recommendation to refuse the development application due to the site’s proposed location and traffic concerns associated with the site. “You cannot increase the width of Toormina Road, and that is one of the main problems with this,” Cr Rhoades stressed. “It’s a difficult decision because I have a history within this Council of supporting development that creates jobs and creates value for our local economy. “But there is a time when you must say this is not the right application for the premises to conduct what they want to do in that location.” Coffs Harbour City Mayor Denise Knight spoke passionately in support of Cr Rhoades refusal of the development application.

q A McDonalds store proposed for Toormina Gardens has been refused by Coffs Harbour City councillors, following a community campaign against the development. Photo: Coffs Harbour City Council. “You have to know the area of Toormina in order to make a really informed decision about this,” Cr Knight stressed to fellow councillors. “I live down there, I know the area and I’m sorry it is the wrong place. “I don’t think Toormina is the right place and I have to implore my councillors to support the motion to refuse it.” Cr Tegan Swan also supported refusing the development application. “There is a mountain of evidence that does suggest, especially in low socioeconomic areas, that these type of developments do have negative impacts on the community that is already disadvantaged, so there is a social responsibility on us to address that,” Cr Swan said. “I can’t say that I think that there won’t be negative impacts, and so while I support businesses and definitely youth employment those impacts need to be mitigated. “There’s opportunity for development in the right location, which this isn’t.” Cr George Cecato expressed concern over the possible legal ramifications of refusing the McDonalds development application (DA). “This DA, unfortunately for some of us, it meets all

the regulations so what could happen here is that the applicant takes it to the next level,” Cr Cecato said. “We as a Council have seen that happening in the past where a DA was recommended, they meet all the DA regulations and it goes the applicants way and we spend a quarter of a million dollar defending a case that unfortunately is not defendable. “I firmly believe in business, I firmly believe in opportunity given to the youth, I firmly believe that this operator will do the right thing by that community and I firmly believe that this would be an asset moving forward.” Cr Sally Townley said Council’s decision on the development was a difficult one. “This is actually an extremely difficult decision for us because the proposal fundamentally meets most of the development standards in terms of size, location,” Cr Townley said. “But planning isn’t an exact science because we have to take in ambiguous terms like ‘neighbourhood amenity’. “Is it really serving the needs of the people in this area, it’s my personal decision that I don’t really think it is.” Cr Micheal Adendorff

stated that the solution to the antisocial behaviour in the Toormina area was to “put the lights on”. “My view of antisocial behaviour is that ‘put the lights on’, if you don’t want people to do naughty things outside your house put the lights on, you will quickly see how they go, disappear,” Cr Adendorff said. “This development puts the lights on. “McDonalds has been criticised over many years, but the reality is it provides for many many people, it provides a feed, for many people it provides a place to take their kids.” The recommendation to refuse the Toormina Gardens McDonalds development application on the grounds of unacceptable impacts on neighbourhood amenity was supported 4 votes to 2 by councillors, with Cr Keith Rhoades, Cr Tegan Swan, Cr Denise Knight and Cr Sally Townley voting to refuse the development application and Cr George Cecato and Cr Michael Adendorff voting for the development. Cr Paul Amos did not vote on the matter due to his occasional joint business promotions with the applicant, and Cr John Arkan was absent from the meeting.

Reforms planned to simplify DA process By Emma DARBIN

THE NSW Government plans to accelerate the delivery of up to $4.8 billion annually in economic benefits under a suite of proposed reforms to planning rules and complying development. The proposed changes

to the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 (Codes SEPP) include allowing businesses to operate from 7am to 10pm in business zones or 24 hours in industrial zones regardless of their consent conditions, setting up drive through

‘click and collect’ bays for nocontact pick up, simplifying planning documents needed to set up or change businesses uses, and allowing new uses to be set up such as function centres, medical facilities, food and drink venues without the need for a development application.

Other proposed changes include increasing height and floor space limits for larger buildings in warehousing and manufacturing sectors, allowing data centres to be set up as complying development, introducing a design guide for specific developments like data centres, car showrooms,

shops and offices, and introducing an opt-in for councils to master plan complying development in business and industrial zones. The reforms are envisioned to deliver a better planning system for NSW, accelerate the delivery of projects, create jobs and keep the economy moving. The changes are proposed to streamline planning for straight forward developments so projects that meet strict construction and building standards can be approved faster by local council or an accredited certifier. The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment commissioned research into ways the NSW planning system could

support the recovery of businesses following the COVID-19 pandemic and provide a strong economic recovery moving forward. The Department’s research showed that changes to the complying development pathway was a simple and effective way to support industrial and commercial investment in existing employment land zones. For more information about the proposed changes and to submit your feedback visit the Department’s Planning Portal at https:// www.planning.nsw.gov.au/ complying-developmentreforms. Public submissions about the proposed changes can be made until Sunday 9 May.

Controversial Jetty Kiosk lease ‘under review’ By Emma DARBIN

q A Council decision to take the Jetty Kiosk lease off Salute espresso and award it to The Hub Cafe is now under review. Photo: Salute espresso Facebook site.

FOLLOWING community backlash and the lodgement of a formal complaint, Coffs Harbour City Council is now undertaking an external review of the process applied to selecting the new lessee for the Jetty Kiosk site. Council has confirmed the external review, but has refused to comment on the matter, instead stating that “it is not appropriate to discuss details while a review is underway”. The controversial matter was raised by councillors at Council’s Ordinary Meeting

on Thursday 22 April with Cr Tegan Swan bringing up the issue as a Matter of an Urgent Nature at the meeting due to Salute espresso’s current lease at the Jetty Kiosk ending on Monday 26 April. Council’s Acting General Manager Andrew Beswick stated at the meeting that the matter was being pursued under Council’s Complaints Policy. “It’s being pursued under Council’s Complaints Policy and there’s a process being undertaken through that,” Mr Beswick stated at the meeting. Cr Sally Townley asked

if Council could consider the matter urgent due to the lease ending soon. “Could it please be considered urgent that timeframes are advised to people, obviously it’s a matter of great importance to people, jobs etc,” Cr Townley asked. Mr Beswick stated that the timeframe would be advised and that the process would be expedited. Salute espresso has been operating at the popular Jetty Kiosk site at Coffs Harbour Jetty since December 2017. Council opened up expressions of interest for a new lease at the site in

February and chose The Hub as the successful new operator of the business. The Hub operates other Hub Cafes in Sawtell and Woolgoolga and the Hub

Kiosk at C.ex International Stadium. On 7 April Salute espresso stated on its Facebook site “we took some hard news. Council has decided to not

Hall to transform into bustling community hub THE village of Red Rock’s sole meeting place is about to be transformed into a bustling community hub, thanks to recent State Government funding and passionate members of the local community. The Red Rock MultiUse Centre, located on Red Rock Road as you enter the holiday township, has secured $18,790 in State Government funding from the Community Building Partnership Program to deliver much needed

partners together to provide a wide range of community activities, programs, services and events. “We aim for the Hub to play a vital role as an anchor for our community, working in ways that engage the locals in local solutions.” Local community members will soon be holding a book sale at the centre as well as a Mums and Bubs yoga session, a community meeting and a trivia night. In the future it is envisaged that a local playgroup will be able to utilise the hall on a regular basis, and possibly U3A classes, men’s club, ladies club or support groups. “There’s no local

Urban Renewal Flagged By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Minister for Water, Property and Housing, Melinda Pavey, has called for Expressions of Interest (EOI) from builders and the community housing sector to renew a suburban area south of Bray Street, close to Park Beach Plaza. The area, defined as the ‘Argyll Estate’, contains 127 properties and two vacant land lots owned by the NSW Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) and the Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO). Mrs Pavey said the EOI was designed to bring innovative new ideas to the table and test how existing government assets might be leveraged to deliver much-needed modern,

high-quality new social and private housing in the region. “We’re working hard to create a safer and stronger regional NSW, but good housing cannot be delivered by government alone, which is why we’re looking to harness expertise and innovation from the private and not-for-profit sectors,” Mrs Pavey said. “We’re also trying to determine if the renewal models that have successfully delivered mixed housing communities in Sydney can work just as well here in the regions.” Member for Coffs Harbour, Gurmesh Singh, said increased focus on housing availability in recent months had prompted the need to look at more local solutions.

“The discussions on the housing shortages on the North Coast have identified that, alongside greenfield sites, an increase in density is also required to meet the demands of our growing population,” said Mr Singh. “Strategies like this will help create new homes close to shops, amenities, and transport, and increasing the diversity of housing in the Argyll Estate, as well as the renewal of public housing assets, will have positive social and economic benefits,” he said. According to Mrs Pavey’s office, the EOI supports the objectives of Coffs Harbour City Council’s Local Growth Management Strategy, and respondents must highlight

They must present ideas that increase the density and diversity of housing, as well as replace existing social housing with modern, new social homes that better meet local demand and are culturally sensitive for Aboriginal residents, within a modern ‘mixed-tenure’ community. Coffs Harbour Labor spokesperson, Tony Judge, welcomed the initiative but stressed that how the renewal is carried out is important. He agreed that mixed developments work well for public housing tenants and the community in general but that the community needs to know about targets for the number of new dwellings and the timing of the development

Mr Judge said, “Displacing vulnerable social housing tenants causes very real personal stress, so the earlier that they know of plans the better it will be for them.” Coffs Harbour Greens Convenor, Jonathan Cassell, also welcomed the proposal, but said that it did not go far enough. “With 10-year wait lists for social housing, a stagnant rental market and a housing market predicted to rise 17% in 2021 by the ANZ, the wider community are suffering far more than the government is willing to admit. Mr Cassell said while shortage of housing stock is an obvious issue, other problems such as reforming negative gearing laws and fairly regulating AirBnB also must be addressed.

After years of tireless efforts from Red Rock locals, in 1993 the Crown Lands Department granted a parcel of land on which the current centre now stands. The centre building was originally located in Sawtell, and it opened as a community project in the seaside township in 1999.

Council to consider a further $2m for Cultural and Civic Space By Emma DARBIN THE allocation of a further $2 million in additional funding for the $81m Cultural and Civic Space building to establish two permanent Museum exhibitions will be considered in Coffs Harbour City Council’s upcoming budget, following extensive debate by councillors at a recent Council meeting. Two permanent exhibitions are planned for the combined Museum/Gallery on the ground floor of the Cultural and Civic Space building (CCS) which will be stimulating and interactive and be the centrepiece of the new Museum and Gallery, greeting visitors as they enter the new CCS building. They include the ‘Stories of Coffs’ social history exhibition, and the ‘Welcome to Country’ Gumbaynggirr exhibition. The ‘Stories of Coffs’ exhibition will present an overview of the unique history of the Coffs Coast, showcasing the Museum’s collections of historical artefacts, photographs and multimedia resources. Council proposes to engage a specialist exhibition design company to deliver the two new exhibitions, with the estimated cost for design, fabrication, installation and related fees reaching $1,886,325. This funding is not currently allocated within Council budgets, and the exhibitions are currently in the early stages of development. Cr Paul Amos questioned at Council’s recent Ordinary Meeting on Thursday 22 April whether the CCS project will now be promoted as an $83 million dollar project, instead of the $81 million dollars recently quoted by Council as being the project cost, which was recently increased from the $76.5m initially quoted by Council for the project. “Will our communications be updated to include this amount of money into the actual cost of the project?” Cr Amos asked. Council’s Acting General Manager Andrew Beswick stated that exhibitions do not form part of building costs. “The exhibitions are not considered part of the building and therefore they are not part of the building project, this is a separate project rather than a building project,” Mr Beswick said. “Exhibitions are of a specialist nature and they change over time, and they were never included because they were never designed or known.” Cr Tegan Swan questioned how many other further requests for funding Council should be aware of in regards to the Cultural and Civic Space project, and what these associated costs would be. Mr Beswick replied that he was “not aware at this stage that there are any other significant costs”. “We are not aware of any other costs at this time beyond the build costs, the $81.27m that Council’s already aware of and these exhibition costs,” Mr Beswick stated. Cr Swan moved an amendment to keep the current Coffs Harbour Regional Museum open for as long as feasibly possible in line with the development of the new permanent exhibitions at the Cultural and Civic Space (CCS), and prior to allocating funds for the exhibitions, for Council to provide an updated end cost budget for the CCS project including all required expenses to have the project fully operational. “We all know the history of how we’ve been going with this, but the reality is that we are at a point now where however we’ve felt in the past we are getting this building, and it is a really good thing to make it as amazing as it possibly can be,” Cr Swan said. “The inclusion of these exhibitions is something that will be integral to drawing people in.

q Two permanent interactive and immersive Museum exhibitions like this one at the National ANZAC Centre in Western Australia are planned for the new Cultural and Civic Space building to display Coffs Harbour’s history and Indigenous culture. Photo: Lee Griffith Photography. “What will really help is if we can just be really really clear, here’s the project budget, here’s all the other costs.” Cr Keith Rhoades questioned whether Council will be transparent when it applies for government grants for this new Museum funding for the Cultural and Civic Space building, and state that new Council administration offices will form part of the building. “The facilities are located in a new building that we are building which is within a Council administration building,” Cr Rhoades stated. Mr Beswick replied that the building was first and foremost a cultural space. “We don’t refer to it as an administration building, we refer to it as the Cultural and Civic Space building, and culture is at the beginning of that title because it is culture first in terms of the purpose of the building,” Mr Beswick said. “Certainly the context of where these exhibitions are will be mentioned in some fashion in the application.” Cr Sally Townley said she was a bit “shocked by the price” of the two new exhibitions, but believed that they were worth spending money on. “I guess when we are proposing to get really high quality art exhibitions, interpretive displays, modern and contemporary, something that’s going to speak to the population, something that’s going to last for a long time, obviously it

doesn’t come cheaply,” Cr Townley said. “A really underlying theme of this building is going to be a really significant recognition of the Indigenous people in our area, not just in a historic sense but in a contemporary sense as well. “I think it’s an extremely worthy cultural investment.” The two new permanent exhibitions are envisioned to be open in mid 2023 within the Cultural and Civic Space building. Construction works on the Cultural and Civic Space site have recently commenced and the building is estimated to be completed around September 2022. Council voted five votes to two to note the Stories of Coffs and Welcome to Country permanent museum exhibitions that are planned for the new Coffs Harbour Regional Museum within the Cultural and Civic Space facility, consider the allocation of funding for these two permanent museum exhibitions within Council’s upcoming Delivery Program with $734,606 allocated in 2021/22 and $1,151,719 allocated in 2022/23. Prior to allocating funds for the exhibitions, Council will provide an updated end cost budget for the CCS project including all required expenses to have the project fully operational, continue to seek grant and other external funding sources to support the development and delivery of the permanent museum exhibitions, and retain the current Coffs Harbour Regional Museum at Harbour Drive for as long as feasibly possible in line

with the development of the new permanent museum exhibitions to allow for necessary preparation and logistics to reopen in the Cultural and Civic Space building. Crs Denise Knight, Micheal Adendorff, Keith Rhoades, Tegan Swan and Sally Townley voted for the amendment and Crs Paul Amos and George Cecato voted against. The current Museum building will remain for sale to help fund the $81m Cultural and Civic Space building.

Women in Leadership

By Sandra MOON

COFFS Harbour’s Business Women’s Network hosted leadership coach and expert Claire White last week at their second event for the year. Ms White presented on genuine leadership and thriving in your leadership as a vehicle for creating what you want in business and in life. Ms White spoke with News Of The Area about connecting to your vision and the importance of embracing yourself in leadership. “Connecting to your leadership values is not only for people for managing a team, sole traders and entrepreneurship. “What’s your vision and how do you influence others?” she asked. “Connect to your vision for why you are in leadership and utilise that. “And for others it’s all about self leadership.” According to Ms White, COVID-19 highlighted people’s mindsets and businesses that were able to be resilient or not.

“It highlighted a scarcity versus abundance mindset depending on whether leaders were able to pivot or not. “Those who were able to be resilient and able to tap into it were able to lead their business through the pandemic.” Ms White believes if we can create

businesses where people feel listened to and valued, including work from home options, we can get happier staff and better business results. The patriarchal system and the stereotypical roles of who stays home with the children needs to be challenged if we want more women in leadership roles. “For many women in leadership roles there is still the question of who has the responsibility for raising children. “How do you be an effective leader without compromising?” she asked. "Women still get guilted in society for choosing to work. “Societal change must occur by challenging our beliefs,” she said. “I am passionate about supporting leaders and dealing with the personal and the professional side because they work hand in hand. “We can create wherever we want to go if we have the vision of what we want and put in place milestones to q Claire White asks “On your deathbed how do you want to get there,” she said. look at your life?”

Sport is part of Coffs Harbour’s future growth By David WIGLEY SPORT is included as one of the objectives in the Coffs Harbour Regional City Action Plan for 2036. Mayor for Coffs Harbour, Cr Denise Knight endorsed the plan which distinguishes Coffs Harbour as a centre of sporting excellence. “This is a historic plan, the first of its kind for Coffs Harbour, it gives the city a footing for the future,” said Knight. The International Stadium has been a jewel in the crown of the region’s sports tourism industry attracting thousands of tourists with an injection of income into the local economy. “The International Stadium in South Coffs Harbour hosts around 120-140 event days a year, attracting 15,000-20,000 participants and similar spectator numbers. “The stadium hosts elite-level matches for the A-League, NRL, NFL, AFL, BBL, National and international Cricket Women’s Ashes Series and FIA World Rally,” the Action Plan states.

Friday, 30 April, 2021

The report also articulates the expansion opportunities at the Stadium and Regional Sports Hub. Council, in conjunction with Office of Sport and other stakeholders, plan to deliver a regional sporting hub at South Coffs Harbour by, "Building on the Stadium and Regional Sports Hub, and q

new Allied Health Centre, to expand transport and connectivity opportunities and Regional Indoor Sports Centre" and "Exploring opportunities for group and tourist accommodation in the precinct to support the stadium and sports-science hub,” states the Action Plan report.

Ramona Koval at the Bellingen Readers Writers Festival By Sandra MOON

DO you remember Radio National’s The Book Show, a daily programme on books and writers? If you were a fan, you are in luck. The host writer, journalist and broadcaster Ramona Koval is set to feature at the Bellingen Readers Writers Festival (BRWF). Ramona left the ABC ten years ago after presenting The Book Show, dedicated to books and publishing, and has now published her third novel ‘A Letter to Layla’. I spoke with Ramona about her new book, which is described as being about By Andrea FERRARI

THE Coffs Harbour Creative Arts Group is the curator of the art exhibition which will be on display at The Coffs Harbour Showground Gallery and in the main pavilion. Art is under Section 16 of the Coff Harbour Show program, with six categories: Oil/acrylic, Watercolour, Pastel, Drawing, Lettering Art, and Printmaking. This is a judged exhibition, with a People's Choice, and prizes awarded.

the human trajectory and which was published right in the middle of Melbourne’s lockdown. “The premise is, here I am with six grandchildren, a writer and looking at problems we are facing around the world and I used to look at people running the world and they were all older than me. “Now all the people in charge are younger than me and I think how do I know they know what they are doing so I was interested to find out what we are as humans,” Ms Koval said. The first half of the book is about how we arrived at being homo sapiens.

“I flew all over to interview people. “I went to America, Europe and Georgia and interviewed the discoverer of homo erectus,” Ms Koval said. In the second half of the book, she writes about the future. “Thinking about the future I looked at robots and transhumanists and people interested in putting extra bits in their bodies.” The book, which took five years to research and write, is punctuated by milestones of her granddaughter Layla, such as learning to walk and talk. “Everyone gave me something about being

human that I wasn't expecting eg thinking about religion, the soul or being sad about the future and ended up being structured by my littlest granddaughter Layla who was six. “I have this tiny little homo sapiens and should take notes and the book is punctuated by her learning to talk and so on.” The daily practice of reading long into the evenings and on the weekends as host of The Book Show taught Ms Koval to take the reader along with her in her own writing.

Coffs Conservatorium Concert - Staff Open The Season By Andrea FERRARI

THE first Staff Concert for 2021 at the Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium took place last Friday April 23, featuring guitar teacher Tony Rowley, piano teacher Lana Chapliiova, and Conservatorium Director Pat Brearley. Audience members were treated to a wonderful first half which featured Tony who

goes by the stage name of Titan Sky. Tony took his listeners on a magical journey with his indie pop voice, charming lyrics and smooth guitar accompaniment, singing about the beautiful area of Bellingen, his recent marriage and other inspiring stories from his life. Following Tony, Lana came on stage to perform two pieces.

The first by Rachmaninov, was a tragically beautiful piece representing the composer’s difficult decision to leave his home country and never return. This was portrayed perfectly by Lana, with flowing lyricism and a delicate touch from the piano, painting the picture beautifully. Once they had time to gather their thoughts, Lana provided the enthusiastic audience with a rare treat, performing Intermezzo by Kapustin.

A cross-genre jazz fusion piece, Intermezzo was composed during a time where the young Kapustin would listen to the great American jazz music being broadcast on the radio as he was in hiding to prevent any trouble from the government.

Damien Leith wowed by Woolgoolga audience By Andrea FERRARI

“FANTASTIC – a gorgeous spot,” is how Damien Leith, singer songwriter and former Australian Idol winner, described Woolgoolga after playing here on Friday April 15. “Woolgoolga Lakeside Holiday Park staff were fantastic - so helpful and professional,” Damien told News Of The Area. Bringing his Tribute to Roy Orbison tour, accompanied by strings, to Woolgoolga, Damien flew up to Coffs

Harbour Airport on the day of his gig. “I had to fly in as I was on breakfast radio and had to race to get to soundcheck on time - I drove to Sydney airport and only just made the flight,” he said. Accolades for Damien’s treatment of Roy Orbison’s classics come from the highest; an ARIA award nomination for his A Tribute To Roy Orbison album, created in collaboration with Barbara Orbison, which stayed in The Aria Top 20 chart for 22 weeks and also sold multi-platinum.

But what did the folks at Woolgoolga think of him? The audience was great, engaging and chatty, Damien said. “I love performing live and having interaction with the audience - it's been a long time since we have been able to do this in-person so I was lapping it up. “I even told a joke or two!” Damien opened with Blue Angel. “They loved In Dreams and Crying, probably the most.” And his closing song?

“Hallelujah - always a crowd pleaser,” he said. Damien stayed in Woolgoolga overnight and had breakfast in town. “We went to Ground Earth Cafe the following morning and had a great coffee and applewood bacon and eggs. Yum.” As far as the beautiful beach goes, Damien and his crew sadly only managed a drive-by. “We had to race to the next show, but it looked absolutely beautiful and I will be back to enjoy it for sure.”

“Our demonstrations explain the true value of our livestock working dogs and show and explain the instinct required for a dog to manage stock calmly and effectively with authority,” said Scott, who is renowned for the relationship he establishes with his team of working kelpies. “Experienced working dogs are displayed as well as showing the instincts emerging from young pups.” You will see how Scott trains the dogs through body language, facial expressions, pressure and release.

Based in Valla, Scott and Trish Amon have a passion for this work and also offer advice on training and establishing quality relationships with companion and pet dogs. Barru Working Kelpies have been situated on the Coffs Coast for over 20 years. They have been critically selected for their inherited working ability originally by Tony Parsons (from the Karrawarra Stud) and for the past two decades by Scott Amon for a combined period of more than 70 years. The dogs are big-framed

athletic types that are utilised commercially throughout Australia, and worldwide, for their instinctive ability for calm and assertive gathering, shifting and general management of sheep, cattle and goats. It’s a visual joy to watch

for all ages, and a learning tool for training pet dogs. The Barru Working Kelpies are proudly sponsored by Highgrove Bathrooms in Isle Drive Coffs Harbour. Highgrove Bathrooms are offering10% off your first purchase across their entire

to see the pair making themselves at home with our resident birds – Ramon has been very curious and is exploring the whole display, while Dennis is slightly more reserved. “We look forward to introducing the latest arrivals to our guests over the coming weeks,” said Carla.

Intertidal Exhibition at Mermaids By Sandra MOON

HOW fitting that artworks inspired by intertidal zones will be on show at Mermaids on Ocean Parade! Angela Tay will have fifteen pieces in her new exhibition curated by Leigh Summers opening on Sunday May 2. Ms Tay has lived on the Coffs Coast for fifteen years but has recently moved closer to the Coffs shoreline. The beaches have inspired Ms Tay with their beauty and natural landscape. Ms Tay said, “Themes of

Friday, 30 April, 2021

my works are influenced by natural environments I lived in, and personal experiences in them. “My recent works are concerned with the intertidal zones and how I relate this to issues of belonging and population movements,“ she said. “Water and movements are integral to my works, whether paintings on papers or in my videos and performances.” WIth a considerable body of work behind her this is not the first time the artist has explored intertidal zones.

In her 2017 exhibition at Coffs Harbour Regional Art Gallery she referenced intertidal communities. It extended the theme of impermanence explored through the forest litter in ‘Microcosm’. The exhibition included paintings of rock pools on Xuan paper, two hanging installations, a short video titled ‘Pipi a Fish Out of Water’ and a related interactive installation. The latter two commented on the inclusiveness of the majority of Australian society. She also featured at

Manning Regional Art Gallery in 2019, with ‘Movements and Impermanence’ which included a short video, and an installation with live performance choreographed and performed by herself. As in her 2017 exhibition Angela referenced the intertidal communities of the mid-north coast to reflect on belonging and current world population movements. Ms Tay has been working extensively on art and exhibiting since 1988 when she was awarded a funded position from the Australian government to study at the then Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou (now renamed China Academy of Fine Arts) to study Chinese landscape painting and calligraphy.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

By Manny WOOD

No good deed goes unrewarded… unless TARA is a motoring enthusiast, her pride and joy being a cherry-red 1969 Ford Mustang. One day, local hooligans break into her garage and they are off for the joyride of their lives! Tara arrives home the next day to find her beloved Mustang gone. She immediately calls the police and quickly begins printing leaflets offering a $10,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest of the ‘despots’ who took her car. She distributes the leaflets around town. Around the same time, Jim, who is into trail bike riding, comes across the abandoned car in a state forest. He informs the police, who find strong evidence and make prompt arrests. A week later, the Constable who had been working the case runs into Jim and casually asks him what he plans to do with the money. Jim asks, “What money?” Surprised, the Constable points at one of Tara’s leaflets on a local notice board. Jim contacts Tara and says, “I’ve just found out about the reward. “Could I give you my bank details?” Tara refuses to pay Jim. Jim takes Tara to Court arguing that a contract existed between them, which Tara breached by not paying him. The Court finds that a contract did not exist because, at the time that Jim went to the police, he was unaware there was a reward on offer. Although in the court of public opinion the outcome may have been different, this case examines the wellestablished principle that all parties must be conscious of an offer before it becomes a binding contractual agreement and highlights the deceptive complexity of contract law.

Well worn scripts DEAR News Of The Area,

AS Australians we have seen many developments in the last few months highlighting the patriarchy which too often works to the disadvantage of women and we are all familiar with the script which underpins the status quo. The same script is working at all levels of business and government and is reserved for any woman who dares raise her head above the parapet to assume a leadership role. Think Julia Gillard, Clover Moore, Christine Holgate etc. Denise Knight entered

Council with a mandate to build an entertainment Centre, and after long and careful planning as well as considerable opposition, including not so subtle and grossly inappropriate interference from another level of government, Council has the go-ahead to build a venue in the CBD of approximately 600 seats. Along the way the CHCC has won numerous awards for excellence which can be found on the Council website. This is an impressive record and with groups such as Citizens' Voice sticking to

THE handful of people calling themselves The Coffs Coast Climate Action Group (CCCAG) say that, “Gas is a dirty fossil fuel which makes climate extremes worse” (‘Climate Group Asks For Answers’, News Of The Area p4, April 23 2021 Edition). My dictionary defines “dirty” as “soiled, unclean, not pure or clear”. To my mind gas meets this definition as it burns clean without smoke or soot.

the usual anti-feminist script, the Mayor has attracted exactly the kind of treatment which is now being called out for the misogyny it is. I have lived in Coffs Harbour for many years and watched the city lurch from inertia to progress and back to inertia under previous mayors. After this last period of progress I fear the pattern may well be repeated. We should be careful what we wish for. Regards, Margaret ENGLAND, Korora.

Our Historical Stinking Waste Problem DEAR News Of The Area,

AT the last Council election, a newspaper headline read ‘STOP THE STINK’. Councillors were elected but nothing stopped the stink. In fact very little has happened over the past sixteen years to stop the stink. Residents are now told of three waste management options. All three are poor options: 1. Expand the tip by 3-4meters height (continuing the odour problem at Englands Road) 2. Build a new tip (this takes 5-8 years to license

after land purchase) 3. Continue the $70,000 per week trucking of waste to other towns (from your rates) Despite environmental fines, community and legal action ever since 2005, Council and Biomass still continue to finger point blame at each other and lag in their future planning. The history of promises, betrayal, and ineptness from Biomass, together with the previous and current Councils, is sixteen years long and has literally cost ratepayers tens of millions of dollars. Meanwhile we continue

Mrs Kate W. Dear Kate, I RARELY have this problem because I avoid large social gatherings like the plague (now there's a slightly outdated simile/cliche for you). And maybe that is why I avoid them, because I can't help but overthink everything. I'd much prefer to dine out with a small group of friends. I do, however, understand your dilemma, because I have been in this situation myself, quite recently in fact, for a 50th. It seems strange to me that it is socially acceptable to drink so many strawberry daiquiri slushies that you have to hold onto a post, or to flirt outrageously with the man slicing bits of pig off a spit (dexterous, strong forearms, good in a vegetable shortage), and yet it is not okay to just slink out of a party without having the same dreary conversations you've had an hour earlier (yes, you did tell me that Luke got into a medical degree at Sydney Uni, but thanks for reminding me that our children were commando crawling at the same age, but now my kid is backpacking with a sound bowl, a book of inspirational quotes and a smudging device -- none of which he knows how to use). Or you have to endure yet another round of definitely-not-bloody-Covid-safe social gaffes where people you have met only hours earlier feel perfectly entitled to hug you so tightly that there is danger of breaking a rib or else kiss you on the lips with their beer-froth hipster moustaches (never trust a man with too much facial hair). I think if you simply say goodbye to the hosts and also that guy who said he'd fix your faulty wiring for free (assuming this wasn't a euphemism), then you've done your duty as a guest, and it is time to get the hell out of there before things get really messy. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

From the Mayor’s desk By Cr Dominic KING (Mayor) Bellingen Shire Council

A COHORT of local resilience leaders will gather in our Shire next month to take advantage of the opportunity to develop collaborative relationships and strategies to guide our Shire’s and the greater regions ongoing disaster preparedness, recovery and resilience activities. This gathering will be the second national first for the cohort, as our local Community Leadership and Resilience

Times gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD

Carroll’s Conditional Purchase FROM the north, Corinda (Corindi) and Weelgoolga (Woolgoolga) marked the southernmost coastal extent of Grafton’s pastoral runs. Initially, these runs were largely the domain of pastoralists or capitalists who had the finances or support to provide their own means of access, communication, and infrastructure, along with the labour to achieve it.

OPINION & LETTERS

News Of The Area

Local Leaders Workshop Resilience & Recovery Scholarship Program participants will also be joined by volunteers from our Shire’s recent Community Resilience Deliberative Panel activity and Bushfire Community Recovery and Resilience ‘Assist and Empower’ Grant applicants. Their joint efforts will focus on exploring opportunities over the next two years to strengthen our Shire’s Community Resilience Network and the delivery of Bushfire Community Recovery and Resilience funded projects, including the development of ‘event’ specific Local Recovery Plans to improve our community’s capacity to manage community driven local recovery efforts. The cohort will also workshop our Shire’s Community Assets Mapping From the south, Bellingen’s development was driven largely by merchants of varying means to harvest and transport the area’s stands of timber, particularly cedar. Both the Clarence and Bellingen River port facilities created entry points for settler expansion into those areas of commerce which reflect the Coffs Harbour LGAs early settlers. As well as prompting government reservation of lands, Robertson’s 1861 Lands Act legally allowed for the private purchase of freehold land outside designated settlements. Prohibitive pricing of £1 per acre ensured land remained unaffordable for most of the population but assisted wealthy capitalists and pastoralists gain permanent land tenure. Several years later, adaptations to the Act meant less prosperous people were able to apply for land under conditional purchases, though it was difficult for them to meet the minimum requirements of occupancy and improvements, resulting in frequent failure. Within the Coffs Harbour LGA the first to receive land was William Carroll of Grafton

Exercise, to harness the collective talents of our community networks, organisations, service providers and volunteers, so they can effectively share resources, knowledge and ideas and drive partnership-based community resilience activities. Workshop participants will no doubt also benefit from the input of community volunteers who recently participated in our Shire’s first Resilience Deliberative Panel, which focussed on building an understanding of the issues relating to community resilience in our Shire and the role that Council, the community and others play in preparing for future disaster events. These types of community led, and driven resilience and recovery building exercises can only improve our Shire’s capacity to implement sustainable and effective community initiatives that address the environmental, social and economic impacts we face now and into the future

and that’s great news for our community. So, if you haven’t been invited to the workshop but would like to contribute to the discussion on furthering Community Resilience in our Shire, please feel free to email, phone or drop in and see Liz Hull or Clare Danby at Council, their contact details are: Clare Danby - email cdanby@ bellingen.nsw.gov.au(External link) or phone – 0428 720502 Liz Hull – email lhull@bellingen.nsw. gov.au(External link) or phone – 0429 001059 And for more information about the wider Bushfire Recovery Program please take a look at https://create.bellingen. n s w. g o v. a u / c o m m u n i t y - r e s i l i e n c e and-preparedness-program and for ongoing updates follow our Resilience@ BelloShire Facebook page(External link).

who applied on 3 October 1879 for 40 acres fronting the Orara River near Priors Road, Coramba. In the first year of his selection, he camped in a tent working as a teamster six miles away during the week and undertook improvements to the property on weekends, his longest absence away from the property being three months. Initially, his wife and four children remained in Grafton, the two eldest

children completing their education before permanently moving in with him in the latter part of 1880. Within three years he had built a house and by 1885 had added fencing and other improvements. However, in April 1885, he found himself under inquiry with the Land Board and having been found wanting, his land was forfeited.

A big thankyou! DEAR News Of The Area,

I WISH to extend a huge thank you to the Coffs Harbour Surf Club 'Old Boys' for the wonderful gesture of providing a splendid morning tea for mum Joan Walker for her 100th birthday on 19 April. The occasion not only honoured her but also my father who was a Life Member of the Club.

Thanks also to the Harbour Palace Chinese at the Bailey Centre for setting up and presenting many delicious meals that evening. Thank you to everyone concerned who made it such a truly amazing day for mum and all the family.

Skilful Ghosts Overpower The Comets By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs Harbour Comets went down 30-10 to the Grafton Ghosts last Saturday’s round two of the Tooheys New Group 2 Rugby League competition at Geoff King Motors Stadium. The players, coaches and supporters paid their respects on the eve of ANZAC Day with a minute’s silence and a playing of the ‘The Last Post’ on the bugle. The Comets flew out the blocks with a try in the opening minutes before the Ghosts responded with tries of their own to close out the first half with two tries each and the score finely poised at 12-10. But it was the Ghosts who maintained the high intensity into the second half, scoring 18 unanswered points in a polished performance

q Ghosts overpowered the Comets in the second half.

from the 2019 reigning champions. Comets Coach Brandon Costin acknowledged the strength of the Ghosts who are likely to be this year’s benchmark. “Very rusty performance from the Comets, Grafton Ghosts have proven themselves yet again to be a powerhouse within the competition. “They are always the team to beat and they were definitely the better side, the Comets players were big on effort and energy but unfortunately were still not a match for the more skilful Ghosts. “They play a fast and upbeat game which will terrorise many teams in the weeks to come,” said Costin. The loss gave assistant coach Miles Fairbank a few things to take back to the training ground. “We made it a tough afternoon by not completing our sets, we dropped the ball cold on the first tackle far too many times and when you do that against a side like Grafton they will punish you every time. “Good job it’s early in the season so we have time to fix up a few things and hopefully get some consistency each week,” said Fairbank. The Comet's next match is another home fixture on Sunday 2 May at Geoff King Motors Oval against the South Grafton Rebels.

Regards, Julie WALKER.

GARDENING AUSTRALIA

ABC, 7.30pm

For those who are more green than green-thumbed when it comes to gardening, starting out can be a challenge. But if you want to see the potential payoff that this particular investment can bring, look no further than tonight’s episode of Gardening Australia. In Sydney’s Lavender Bay parklands, host Costa Georgiadis returns to the garden of Wendy Whiteley. After moving into her home with her artist husband, the late Brett Whiteley, in 1970 she set about transforming the disused railway site below into a living artwork. Wendy is the first to admit she had no idea what she was doing at first, but 50 years on, it’s an incredible public space.

If any program should take the gong as Australia’s most cheerful and fun TV show, this is it. There are diehard LEGO fans aplenty, including the show’s contestants, but even ordinary folk who have never lifted a LEGO block in their lives enthusiastically get behind this wholesome competition. With a kaleidoscope of colourful blocks as a backdrop, and mirthful comedian Hamish Blake (pictured)PB as host, it’s a winner. Season three has arrived like a charm, and tonight the teams must build something that ﬂoats. Not only that, it must suspend from a hot-air balloon for 10 seconds. Judge Ryan “Brickman” McNaught is treated to some spectacular creations.

BIG BROTHER

PRIME7, 7.30pm

Whether you label it voyeurism, a comprehensive insight into human psychology, or simply a fun game, there’s something addictive about Big Brother. Having the unﬂappable and stylish Sonia Kruger as host only adds value to Seven’s ultra-competitive iteration of the ﬂy-on-thewall reality staple. Strategy, physical strength and endurance are key in a game where the power shifts each and every day. Tonight, Surprise Week comes to an end with the biggest shock of all when Big Brother reveals his secret attic. But the drama doesn’t end there: after a double elimination leaves one alliance in tatters, the housemates face a crucial nomination challenge in “Drop and Pop”. 3004

Baseball Comeback Boambee Eagles Soar By David WIGLEY

By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs Harbour Allstars overcame the Woolgoolga Bluesox in a thrilling 7-6 baseball match on Saturday at the Coffs Harbour Sport and Leisure Park. After the fourth innings the Bluesox led 6-1 but the Allstars launched a memorable comeback to clinch the match by one point. Allstars batsman Chris Cook told News Of The Area, “The Allstars trailed 6-1 in

THE Boambee Eagles soared to a 5-1 win over the Woolgoolga Wildcats in the second round of the women’s first division. Eagles coach Neil Witherdin told News Of The Area, “Boambee and Woolgoolga were competitive throughout with both teams putting in great effort.” Boambee, looking for their first win of the season,

come up with a brilliant one versus one save early on. “This effort inspired the Eagles with goals from Jasmin Norberry and Kylie McDonald sealing the match.” Neil said both teams should be happy with the effort they put in, as well as having things to work on as they prepare for next week. “A special thanks to Woolgoolga for their hospitality following the game,” concluded Neil.

Coffs Harbour Track and Field members win at National Championships By Aiden BURGESS HAYLEY Kitching and Jack Sheehan have conquered all before them to be the best juniors in Australia. The two Coffs Harbour Track and Field members are national junior champions after winning their respective events at the recent Australian Track and Field Championships in Sydney. Hayley Kitching triumphed in the under 18’s women’s 800m event, while Jack Sheehan was crowned national junior champion in the under 18’s 110m Hurdles event. Sheehan was the number one seed heading into the final after winning his heat in a time of 14.34 seconds. Sheehan won the national title with a time of 14.20 seconds. Kitching claimed gold in the under 18’s 800m, sitting with the lead pack going through the first lap before taking the lead down the back straight and holding on to win in a new personal best of 2.07.16 seconds. It was a national title a long time coming for the new 800m champion. “It feels so good because I’ve been training seriously since Year 7 and I’ve always placed at state championships and finished second but never won,” she said.

“This girl I went up against at nationals I had grown up competing against her, “I had never beaten her in the 800m, but I finally did.” With a coveted national title on the line, the Coffs Harbour athlete was feeling the nerves as she lined up for the chance at gold. “I was feeling pretty good, but I was really nervous as it was my first nationals and I was ready to puke,” she said. “It was a good nervous though.” The new national champion followed her dad's advice when it came to the game plan for the final. “I was coming fourth after the first lap, and my race plan was to sit back, and my dad said with 250m to go to kick it which I did.” As she crossed the line, the new national champion took a moment to actually realise her accomplishment. “It was a bit of disbelief really, I was just so happy because I had actually done it,” she said. “I’ve been training for so long and six days a week, and it seems so silly that I train that much for a 2-minute race, but it’s worth it.” Kitching explained to News Of the Area how much winning a national title meant to her. “It just means so much,

42 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

and it’s awesome because there's so many good girls in Australia, and to beat them is a great achievement.” A number of other Coffs Harbour Track and Field members also excelled at the Australian Championships. Jade Kitching produced a gutsy run in the U/16 boys 800m to claim a silver medal in 1.57.29 smashing his personal best. Kitching backed up his good run from his heat the day before (2.00.57 PB) sitting with the leaders after the first lap before moving into 2nd and holding off the challengers. Alex Harrison continued her good form in the U/20 High Jump clearing 1.72m to claim a bronze medal. Harrison came in at 1.68 with a good clearance and then made 1.72 at her first attempt before just missing 1.76m. While a little disappointed, Harrison is still focused on chasing a World U/20 Junior qualifier of 1.82m. Off the back of her High Jump Bronze medal Alex Harrison and her training partner Hanna Tait from Grafton competed in the U/20 Heptathlon. Harrison started the comp with PB’s in her Hurdles (15.69s), Shot Put (9.48m) and 200m (27.50s) as well as

clearing 1.73 in the High. Tait, after nearly falling in hurdles (15.37s), produced some solid performances in High (1.49m), Shot (9.68m PB) and 200m (25.70s). Harrison finished Day 1 in 2nd (2810 pts) and Tait 3rd (2736 pts) Both girls started day 2 a little sore, with Harrison jumping 5.00m in the Long Jump and throwing 26.59m in the Javelin before running a PB of 2.48.17 in the 800m. Tait produced PB’s in her Long (5.30m) and Javelin (37.19m) before a solid 800m in 2.31.06. Tait claimed the Silver medal with 4672 points just shy of her PB while Harrison finished 4th with a new PB of 4264 pts. Linc Henry and Amaia Wain both made a successful first attempt at the Australian Championships. Henry produced a fastfinishing 3rd in his heat of the U/14 90m Hurdles slicing 1.56s of his personal best to record a time of 13.73s. Henry claimed a spot in the finals where again he stormed home to finish 5th in a new PB of 13.67s. Wain jumped well in the U/15 High Jump with some good clearances before being a little unlucky at 1.60m, finishing 8th and equalling her PB of 1.55m. Lulu McGrath produced

media@newsofthearea.com.au

some consistent jumping in the U/16 Triple Jump without quite hitting the board. McGrath’s best jump of 10.91 placed her in 9th overall just missing the final 8. Olissa Onley competing in the U/18 3000m ran a strong race staying with the lead pack up to the last lap before the winners kicked away down the back straight, with Onley hanging onto 5th in 10.06.29. Fellow distance runner Daniel Williams also placed 5th in the U/15 3000m in a new pb of 9.23.50. Coffs Harbour Track and Field president Glenn Thacker praised the performances of his young athletes at the Australian Championships. “Coffs Coast athletes have once again produced some excellent results, this coming off months of poor weather where just getting on the track was an experience,” he said. “Our athletes all performed exceptional well with all athletes finishing in the top 10. “Our younger athletes will benefit from the experience while our older ones set their sights on reaching World Junior qualifying standard for next year.” Thacker told News Of The Area of the recent challenges his athletes faced in preparing for the National Championships. “While we can run on

roads, paths and using the creek walk and velodrome, getting onto the track to fine tune technique and race practice is important,” he said. “However, it is difficult for Triple and Long jumpers as it makes it hard to train on flooded runways and pits and too dangerous for Hurdlers and High jumpers to train in car parks. “For these athletes we missed a lot of technique sessions and this is why the Coffs Coast is in need of a good all-weather facility.” Full Results Linc Henry (U/14) 90m Hurdles (Heat) 13.73 PB. 90m Hurdles (Final) 13.67 PB 5th Amaia Wain (U/15) High Jump 1.55m 8th Daniel Williams (U/15) 3000m 9.23.50 PB 5th. 1500m 4.23.63 12th Lulu McGrath (U/16) Triple Jump 10.91m 9th Hayley Kitching (U/18) 800m (Heat) 2.13.60 800m (Final) 2.07.16 PB 1500m (Heat) 4.39.82 1500m (Final) 4.29.25 PB 4th Jack Sheehan (U/18) 110m Hurdles (Heat) 14.34 110m Hurdles (Final) 14.20. 400m Hurdles (Heat) 58.91 10th Olissa Onley (U/18) 3000m 10.06.29 5th Alex Harrison (U/20) High Jump 1.72m 3rd.

And Jay Guthrie was no exception last weekend, with the Coffs Harbour Breakers president kicking 5 goals to help lead his side to victory against the Sawtell/ Toormina Saints during the opening round of the AFL North Coast season. The Breakers prevailed against a spirited Saints side, starting their season with a 14.15 (99) to 12.10 (82) victory at Fitzroy Oval. The Breakers started their season in fine form to take a 15-point lead into the quarter time break, having a dominant presence in the forward 50 after repeat entries. The Breakers would continue their momentum kicking two early goals to

start the second quarter, and it looked like it might be a long afternoon for the Saints. But the tide quickly turned as the Saints hit back with two quick goals of their own, which lifted the Saints ramping up their intensity and pressure. The visitors turned things around dramatically getting on top in the midfield to even up the match. The Breakers kicked a much-needed settler leading into half-time to take a seven-point lead into the main break. After a free-flowing first half, the match tightened up to start the third quarter as both sides knuckled down defensively. The early second half shackles would then be broken as both sides kicked four goals for the quarter. The Breakers won the third quarter by 1 to take

a 71-63 lead into the final quarter. With the game there for the taking, it would be the Breakers who would seize the opportunity. The Breakers asserted their authority when it mattered most, kicking two early goals and four goals to three in the final quarter to seal the 17-point win to start their season. Jay Guthrie was a big presence going forward for the winning side kicking 5 goals, while Brad Neary and Jacob Sincock both kicked 2 each. Martin Pettifer kicked 4 goals for the Saints while Jordan Perks kicked 3. Coffs Harbour Breakers coach Kevin Wilson said scoring goals at vital times, especially in the last quarter, proved the difference. “I think we had a little bit more fitness at the end

and just nailed our chances better when we had them in the last quarter,” he said. The AFL North Coast season continues tomorrow afternoon with the Breakers taking on the Northern Beaches Blues in Woolgoolga, while the Saints are at home against the Nambucca Valley

The 2nd baseman and centre fielder played B-grade in Round 3 of the Coffs Harbour Baseball Association’s season last weekend, going 2-2 on base with a 2-bagger and a walk. After starting with a softball background, Bromell

fell in love with baseball. “I played softball as a kid, and I wanted to try baseball as it’s more of a challenge,” she said. “The sport itself is a great way to be part of a community and to be active.” Bromell told News Of The Area she came from a strong baseball culture. “Baseball is huge in Lismore, and Far North Coast Baseball is a really strong organisation built on the grounds of really good values,” she said. “I hope baseball can be

the same in Coffs Harbour.” The Coffs Harbour Allstars player said she couldn’t wait to take to the field again after the Coffs Harbour Baseball Association cancelled its season in 2020 due to COVID-19. “I played for three seasons in Lismore before I moved here, and I was thinking about playing in Coffs last year but it was a bit up in the air and then we didn’t end up on the field,” she said. “But today I was definitely busting to get out there again.”

Getting The Band Back Together By David WIGLEY

SPIRITS were high as the women’s over 30’s football competition kicked off last Thursday at the Coffs Harbour Sport and Leisure Park. Once the referee blew the whistle it was down to business as Coffs United, Woolgoolga and Sawtell recorded convincing wins, while the Dorrigo Blackbutts and Boambee Eagles shared the points with a 1-1 draw. We didn’t see the goal of the season but we might well have seen the photobomb of the season in round one. The Coffs United Lionesses couldn’t contain their laughter when Lauren Kneale from Corindi photo bombed their team photo which epitomised the spirit the matches were played in. The levels of experience ranged from seasoned campaigners to players making their football debut. Rachel Killen gave up football in 2019 but has reignited her passion for the game in the over 30’s midweek competition. “I came into the club in 2013 and started playing premier league and the core group of girls from last night have been at the club for many years and we had been in premier league grand finals for 2013 winners, 2014,

runner up, 2015 winners, then a lot of us retired in 2019. “So to come back was like getting the band back together, a reunion so to speak,” said Rachel. Judith McNeil is normally on the sidelines cheering on her three children and relished her first ever match on the big pitch. “That was my first ever game of proper soccer, I played a little bit of six-a-side last year and this year, I had an amazing time last night. “It was awesome to run around on the big field and experience what three of my kids do each weekend, the ladies were all super welcoming, such a great way to get fit and make new friends,” said Judith.

Lisa Webb from Corindi echoed the jovial nature of the competition. “I think it’s awesome that we have eight teams in the Over 30’s women’s competition this year, it’s the highest number we’ve seen in years, a real testament to the growing interest in both women’s football and that sport is important for all ages. “Coming back to the new season is such a great feeling, sport builds so many new friendships and it’s always great to joke and laugh on the field with friends from other places you wouldn’t normally have known,” she said. The over 30’s competition is always full of laughter, a reason why the competition continues to grow in the region.

The third round of the Hockey Coffs Coast season was played last weekend at the Coffs Harbour Hockey Complex. The Hockey Coffs Coast season continues tonight with Round 4.

The 18-year-old shared a special moment on the field with her family two years ago. “When I was younger me, mum and nan played in the same team,” she said. “Having that opportunity was special for me.” Lovering has grown up playing with her family since she started playing hockey at the age of 10.

“I love it because my family and the older players used to raise me and mentor me, and I grew up watching them play,” she said. With such a big influence from her family, the young player said it was logical for her to follow them into the sport. “I’ve grown up with hockey, I'm good at it, so no point changing,” she said. “I grew up playing with my family which was a great opportunity, “I was destined to play.” And the best advice she has been given by her hockey family? “Listen to the one person q Paige Lovering yelling,” she said.

strong teams this year all made up with a mixture of new players but also some really quality ex-premier league women. “Not sure we will be able to maintain our undefeated record this season but we will sure give it a crack and I think we will be there at final times again this year. “Either way we are looking forward to some fun and fitness with a great bunch of women, playing for a great club,” said Jodi. The surge in female football has been a driving force behind the overall growth in the Australian game in recent years and from the high-spirited camaraderie last Thursday, it’s easy to see why.

Natural born swimmer By Aiden BURGESS

LUKE Jones is truly a natural born swimmer. An ability his father Jeff first noticed at a young age while on a family outing at the Coffs Harbour Jetty. “He was 5 or 6 and we were down at the Jetty and we were on the beach,” he said. “We were watching our daughter and someone said ‘is that your son?’, and Luke was halfway out to the Jetty about 70m out from the beach, and I went out and swam alongside him.” Eight years later, and this natural ability has come to the fore with Luke heading to this week’s NSW Combined High School Sports Association Swimming Championships in Sydney. But what makes his swimming ability truly unique is his lack of formal training or coaching, as his father explains. “He’s had absolutely nothing, and he just practices in the backyard pool for literally 30 minutes,” he said.

media@newsofthearea.com.au

“I’ve taken him to Coffs Pool to do some tumble turns, that’s the closest he’s come to training. “He doesn’t seem to take it seriously, but at meets his competitive nature comes out. “He doesn’t like to lose, and if he sees someone ahead of him, he’ll try to catch them.” Jones qualified for this week’s State School Championships having finished 3rd in the 50m and 4th in the 100m freestyle events whilst representing the Mid North Coast. The sprint specialist will also anchor the relay team for his Toormina High School squad. In addition to his swimming talents, the 14-year-old is a sporting all-rounder having represented NSW at rugby league and union and has also been a school cross country and athletics champion. The swimmers father told News Of The Area of his son’s raw potential in the pool. “I wish I could afford to put him into coaching, it would be frightening to see him after doing 4 or 5 days of training a week.” q Luke Jones is headed to the NSW Combined High School Sports Association Swimming Championships.

Damian delivers at the nationals By David WIGLEY

DAMIAN Phillips produced a stellar performance at the Australian Tennis Championships for players with Intellectual Disabilities, Down Syndrome, Autism and Deaf and Hard of Hearing last week in Melbourne. Damian won the Men’s Doubles with partner Archie Graham and finished third in the Men’s Singles and third in the Mixed Doubles with partner Kelly Wren. Damian’s mother Leanne Phillips was thrilled the tournament went ahead after fears the event may be cancelled due to COVID-19. “The tournament normally runs at the same time as the Australian Open but was delayed until April because of COVID, we were

worried they might cancel the national tournament but the players were delighted when it went ahead, Damian has been playing Mixed Doubles with Kelly Wren for over ten years now and they have been very successful winning numerous titles. “Damian trains every day, either with his coach Tony Polack or down the gym or agility work on the court. “He normally competes in overseas tournaments but that stopped last year because of COVID and plays in the Australian team, he’s currently ranked number 8 in the World and number 3 in Australia,” said Leanne.

Bombers On Top By David WIGLEY

THE Boambee Bombers overcame the Coffs Coast Tigers 2-1 to shoot to the top of the Coastal Premier League after two rounds. The Tigers set the early pace and opened the scoring after 20 minutes, pushing last year’s North Zone champions on to the back foot. The Bombers bounced

back ten minutes later with an unstoppable penalty which gave Tigers goalkeeper and captain, Luke Kliendienst, no chance.

Blues and Tigers share the points in opening round thriller BOTH Grafton and Northern Beaches left Ellem Oval rueing a missed opportunity as they had to settle for a draw in a thrilling opening round clash. Within 15 minutes of the season start, reigning premier Grafton had eight of the first nine scoring shots as the speed of the Tigers around the packs was causing the Northern Beaches headaches. The trouble was Grafton kicked just one goal in the

early onslaught and let a chance to gain a big early lead slip by. Northern Beaches on the other hand were left to wonder what they could’ve done better in the latter stages of the contest to hold on to the 16-point lead it held at three-quarter time. Ned O’Neill kicked his third goal for the Tigers with three minutes remaining on the clock to tie the scores up but neither side was able to snatch the lead despite some

RUGBY Union returned to the region as the opening round of the Upper Mid North Coast Rugby Union season kicked off. The Coffs Harbour Snappers teams made a perfect start to the season winning all three of their opening round games at Coffs Rugby Park. The Snappers women got their premiership defence off to a dominant start with a 61-5 win against the Bowraville Goannas. The Snappers put the result to bed early scoring try after try in the first 20

minutes in a scintillating display of attacking rugby which left the Goannas shell shocked. Snappers coach Damien Butcher explained to News Of The Area the aspect which pleased him the most about his sides opening round win. “Our line in attack and communication is good as we seem to do a lot of talking, maybe too much but often it's better too much than too little,” he said. “Simple attack set up through the forwards and then spread out to the backs.” As they prepared to face the SCU Marlins this weekend, Butcher expected a

down in that last quarter and come back and draw it was good but we just ran out of time.” Blues coach Rory Evans said he was reasonably happy with the result. “If you said before the game you can come up here and face the premiers from last year and get a draw, the greedy person in me probably wouldn’t have taken it but the sensible person would’ve,” Evans said. “It’s good to come up here and challenge them and do that. “I’m not really focused on

much different game to their opening round win against the Goannas. “I’m expecting a gritty game and more defensive than last week,” he said. “Our attack is pretty sound, we just need to plug the holes where needed especially against the Marlins this week.” “If we can work on our defence, then our attack will take care of itself.” The Snappers reserve grade team also got their season off to a winning note with a 29-10 win at home against the Goannas. The Snappers under 14’s started the day off in

the last quarter. “I’m probably more really happy with how we responded from the first half of the first quarter.” Grafton 8.14 (62) drew with Northern Beaches 9.8 (62) Goals – Graf: N.O’Neill 3, T.Churchin 3, D.Perich, T.Mullins.

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.

Perfect Start Friday, 30 April 2021

By David WIGLEY

COFFS Harbour Comets continued their dominance in Ladies League Tag defeating the Grafton Ghosts 32-0 at Geoff King Motors Oval on Saturday. The Comets fired from the opening whistle when Hannah White penetrated the Ghosts’ defence to score in the first minute of the match. Hannah nailed the conversion as the red hot Comets continued to pile on the pressure from all angles of the pitch scoring tries down the centre and both flanks in a polished team performance. The Comets had an immaculate preseason last time around and coach Scott

Local Community News ~ Proudly Independent

Street is happy how the 2021 campaign has started, having starved their opposition of points so far. “Really happy with how the girls played, we knew Grafton would be a tough side to play, they have some real quality players so to come away with a win is a huge positive. “We're two from two this season which is how we wanted to start, but the most impressive part is keeping both teams we've played to 0. “We've got the perfect mix of youth and experience which helps a lot, next week we play South Grafton which we again know will be a tough task, we're not thinking too far ahead, just taking it week by week,” said Scott.

Comets continue perfect start to season with 32-0 win South Grafton
