Youth Aftercare service launched FROM Page 1 and young people who are self harming, have ongoing thoughts of suicide or have attempted suicide. The Aftercare service is part of an innovative trial of child and youth-specific services by the NSW and Commonwealth Governments so children and young persons can access practical, non-clinical support in their communities to help their recovery. The new youth-specific services, led by New Horizons, have been co-designed with young people with lived experience of suicide, subject matter experts, and a consortium of support agencies. New Horizons employs Children and Young People Champions – people with lived experience of suicide whose role is to create an empathetic and safe environment for anyone seeking support. Coffs Harbour Champion Daisy said any child, young person, parent or carer is welcome to get in touch if they think they could benefit from the service. “When a young person comes to us, I hope to give them the support I didn't have,” Daisy said. “I want to help them build the foundations of a healthy

life.” Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the new service is a welcome addition to the existing local mental health supports for young people. “This will give children and young people living in Coffs Harbour practical, caring support to help them re-discover hope for their future,” Mr Singh said. While the announcement has not specified why Coffs Harbour and Blacktown were chosen for the Youth Aftercare service statistics from the Australian Institute for Health and Welfare (AIHW) show suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people. The AIHW data reveals over one third of deaths for persons aged 15-24 in 2020 were suicides.
the benefit of the Aftercare service. “Coming out of acute care can be really overwhelming, so it is critical to connect these vulnerable young people with the right support outside of the hospital setting so they can reconnect and re-engage with their family, friends and community. “This bold and innovative approach is all about keeping more children and young people safe by providing practical, caring support to help them re-discover hope for their future. “This service has been co-designed by young people who’ve been in their shoes and understand how frightening life can be after a suicide attempt.”
Suicide rates in Indigenous Australians were more than twice that of nonIndigenous Australians. Minister for Mental Health Bronnie Taylor explained
This includes one-on-one and group activities that will help a person thrive in their day-to-day life. Youth Aftercare is being jointly funded by the NSW

Council to spend a further $226,000 in disaster response COFFS Harbour City Council has endorsed the spending of an additional $226,000 per year on Council’s work in preparing, responding and helping the community recover from disasters/ emergencies. “Only last week, residents, schools and businesses in Toormina, Sawtell and around the city centre and jetty area in Coffs Harbour were hit by our latest emergency situation, a supercell hail storm whose ferocity was unprecedented,”
Council’s General Manager Steve McGrath said. “This was just the latest in a series of disasters – drought, storm, floods, bushfire and the pandemic that our local government area has experienced in recent times. “Each time such events occur, Council staff, equipment and expertise is deployed to help people cope with the situation as it’s happening and in the recovery process.” Mr McGrath said that while the emergency services are often most visible during a flood, for example, people
perhaps don’t realise that those services themselves rely pretty heavily on the assistance of Council’s own staff, plant and equipment to help the community. “In addition, community expectations are constantly rising in regard to council assistance during a crisis,” he said. “Following a disaster, we also carry out a huge amount of clean-up work and then also switch our focus to helping residents and the local economy recover through various programs and services that are

developed to respond to each situation. “All of this places a strain on Council resources and staff, many of whom do not have any specific emergency management role, to provide time and resources in support of response and recovery – while also trying to maintain Council’s day-to-day services to the community.” Mr McGrath said this inevitably impacts on Council’s regular services to the community, especially during a very long event such as the current Covid-19 pandemic. Since the 2019 bushfires, Council has received financial help from National Disaster
‘Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery’ functions so that we can help build community resilience in the face of emergencies and ensure that the impact on our normal services is minimised,” Mr McGrath said. At Council’s recent meeting on Thursday 28 October councillors unanimously agreed for Council to endorse a revised approach to emergency management service delivery noting the objective of enhancing the Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery phases associated with emergencies/disasters, and consider supporting the allocation of additional financial resources identified within the September 2021 Quarterly Budget Review Statement.

Afghan Arrivals Welcome By Sandra MOON NSW has opened its arms to those fleeing Afghanistan for Australia, with almost nine hundred refugees recently arriving in the state to escape the humanitarian crisis. Minister for Multiculturalism Natalie Ward said the NSW Government was committed to ongoing support for the Afghan Australian community, which faced a difficult and traumatic time. “NSW has provided a safe refuge for almost nine hundred evacuees from Afghanistan in the past seven weeks alone, with almost half of those aged under eighteen,” Mrs Ward said. “They have experienced extreme trauma and need specialised and tailored support as they begin their new lives here in Australia.” Afghan arrivals are eligible for support under a recently-announced $6.25 million NSW Government funding package to provide urgent help for temporary visa holders and asylum seekers. In addition, the NSW Government has provided $8.5 million over three years to continue important support programs for refugee, new and emerging communities in the 2021-2022 NSW Budget. This funding includes support to connect with education and health services such as the Adult Migrant English Programme, the Service for the Treatent and rehabilitation of Torture and Trauma Survivors, the Refugee Health Clinic and other community and settlement services that promote employment opportunities and social connection. Mrs Ward also welcomed the Federal Government’s recent $27.1 million commitment over two years for a tailored Afghan settlement support package. That funding will include support for

Afghan-Australian community organisations, help with transitioning to permanent visas and mental health assistance. NSW Coordinator General for Settlement Professor Peter Shergold AC welcomed the move. “The NSW Government has been constantly raising issues with the Commonwealth since the start of the escalation of the conflict in Afghanistan. “Many of these issues have been addressed
as part of the funding package,” Professor Shergold said. Coffs Harbour is the largest refugee resettlement zone in NSW outside of metropolitan cities and has been a Refugee Welcome Zone since 2008. Coffs Harbour City Council also supports Refugee Week and Harmony Day. Coffs Harbour already has a resettled Afghan population and an Afghan Association.
A WOOLGOOLGA venue and some of its staff have been fined $6,000 for breaching Covid-19 public health orders. On Tuesday 26 October 2021, officers from Coffs/Clarence Police District attended a licensed premises on Beach Street, Woolgoolga, following reports of breaches of the Public Health Order. Police spoke with the owners of the premises, a 45 year old man and a
43 year old woman, along with several other employees, who some were unable to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a valid medical exemption. Following further inquiries, police returned to the premises on Thursday 28 October and spoke with the two owners. A total of $6,000 in Penalty Infringement Notices (PINs) were issued to five individuals for failing to comply with Covid-19 public health orders.

Outstanding Council resolutions on public display By Emma DARBIN
OUTSTANDING resolutions made by Coffs Harbour City Council which have not been enacted upon or are in progress are now on public display on Council’s website. Cr Sally Townley called on Council to maintain a public register of its outstanding resolutions at a Council meeting on Thursday 28 October. “For a long time there was actually no public notice of outstanding resolutions,” Cr Townley stated at the meeting. “This is just taking that to the next step; things that are not resolved or are only partially enacted are now available to the public. “I think it’s an important step forward in transparency, I would encourage members of the public to have a look.” Cr Townley stated that there were still a lot of “quite important resolutions not enacted” upon, including the Coastal Works Governance Framework.
Council has recently placed an ‘Outstanding Resolutions Report’ on its website which spans five pages and dates back to Council resolutions made in May 2017. Most of the resolutions listed are in progress and include the Coffs Jetty Strip Structure Plan, Woolgoolga Whale Trail, and the construction of the Elbow Street multilevel car park. Councillors unanimously voted in favour of the public register of outstanding resolutions at the recent Council meeting. Council’s Outstanding Resolutions Report can now be viewed on Council’s website on the ‘minutes and agendas’ page at https:// www.coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au/Your-Council/ About-Council/Council-meetings/Councilmeeting-minutes-and-agendas.

Amplify Events set to reopen the Old Deep Sea Fishing Club By David WIGLEY
AMPLIFY Events and Seaside Restaurants have been announced as the new leaseholders of the old Deep Sea Fishing Club on Jordan Esplanade. Director at Amplify Events Dave Mansfield told News Of The Area how excited the team are to get started at the iconic location. “It’s an incredible location and we are really excited to get started, we want to provide an all
inclusive dining, drinking and entertainment experience. “We want to broaden the dining experience to make it appealing to more people for different occasions, so we keep the classic menu items which are affordable but also offer things which are a little bit different and something for special occasions including a choice of fine dining, local and imported wines and cocktails too. “It will be a family friendly venue and we will be adding games and equipment

so kids can play and make it appealing to families, it’s a big space so we want to make the most of it. “Local produce is something we are passionate about which means working with local food producers and local breweries to offer our customers fantastic local produce. “The location and views make it an ideal entertainment venue and a platform for local bands and musos to showcase their talent.
“We want to broaden the entertainment to include more variety such as classical music, community dance groups, indie music, local artwork and so forth, we are open to new things. “We would also utilise our network to attract touring performers to put on big, high production value shows, but we will always include local support acts on the bill. “The backdrop is amazing so we want to make the most of it and I think performers
will want to play here,” added Mansfield. Amplify Events were announced as the new tenants last week and with the Christmas countdown looming they are cautiously optimistic to open before the holidays. “We definitely want to be open before Christmas, it is an important part of the year for the hospitality industry. “We plan on making some minor refurbishments to give the place a facelift but we won’t open until we're ready,
as we don’t want to rush and compromise the quality. “We’re aiming to deliver the best waterfront bar, restaurant and entertainment venue on the New South Wales North Coast, so we want to make sure we get it right. “That said, we will be doing everything in our power to get the doors open as soon as possible, as we want to welcome everybody in for a drink as soon as possible,” said Mansfield.

Bellingen Labor Team reveals community support plan THE Bellingen Labor Team running for Council has released a plan to improve community support and services in Bellingen Shire, promising a more responsive Council to the community’s changing needs. Ahead of the 4 December 2021 poll, the Labor team has committed itself to bringing back a weekly news service to the area, financially supporting key community groups, boosting the arts, and catering to the Shire’s growing dog population. The Labor team plans to return locally produced independent print journalism to the area every week, provide financial support to key local community service groups, provide more support for the arts, and create more fenced dog parks. Bellingen councillor candidate Paul Mulally said Bellingen Shire Council isn’t currently a part of the local community and that the Labor team will reconnect the Council with the community. “Council has to adapt and change and provide solutions to new problems,” Mr Mulally said.
“The housing crisis and global pandemic are two examples where the council mostly left the heavy lifting to others. “We will work with government and community services organisations to improve access to mental health services in the shire and support youth, seniors, and the disabled, and provide for residents in need of economic, social and psychological support.” Mr Mulally said a cornerstone of any thriving community is the sharing of news and essential information. “Local papers tell local stories and share crucial information,” he said. Mr Mulally said Council under the Labor team would aim to support a weekly fourpage focus on Bellingen Shire in the Coffs Coast News Of The Area. Mr Mulally also said local community groups needed funding and support to build upon their success. “Some fantastic work is done here by the likes of the Neighbourhood Care Network, Housing Matters Action Group, Youth Hub, OzGreen, Landcare and the service
organisations,” he said. “Labor will provide assistance to ensure that they’re sustainable and successful.” Mr Mulally said central to the culture of Bellingen is a unique and vibrant arts community. “It’s loved by locals and visitors alike,” he stated. “It’s been hit hard in recent years by the pandemic and rising housing prices. “Labor is committed to q Bellingen Shire councillor candidate Paul Mulally revamping the shire’s believes community support and services need to be festivals program to improved in the Shire.

Longer wait for freedoms for the unvaccinated IN response to the faster-than-expected rate of vaccination, the NSW Government will further ease rules for those who are fully vaccinated by bringing forward many of the roadmap changes scheduled for 1 December to Monday, 8 November. The news is not so bright for the unvaccinated however, who must still abide by pre-roadmap restrictions until the State reaches the 95 percent double vaccination target, or 15 December, whichever happens first. For the fully vaccinated, from 8 November there will be no limit on visitors to a home, no rules for outdoor gatherings with fewer than 1,000 people, and indoor swimming pools will re-open for all purposes. Businesses will be able to welcome in more fully vaccinated customers with all premises to move to 1 person per 2 sqm rule, and nightclubs will be able to re-open dancefloors. Caps will be removed for settings other than gym and dance classes (where the 20 person cap for classes will remain) and replaced by density limits or 100 percent
fixed seated capacity for major recreation outdoor facilities (including stadiums, racecourses, theme parks and zoos) and entertainment facilities (including cinemas and theatres). These freedoms will only be available for people who are fully vaccinated, including those who have medical exemptions and children under the age of 16. COVID Safe check-ins and proof of vaccination will still be required. The current settings for masks, which apply to everyone, will remain in place until the State reaches the 95 per cent double vaccination target, or 15 December, whichever happens first. To maintain high levels of immunity across the community, NSW Health has commenced rolling out a booster vaccination program at its clinics to individuals aged 18 and older who received their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine 6 months or more ago. Pfizer will be used for boosters regardless of the COVID-19 vaccine received for the first or second dose. Premier Dominic Perrottet said
bringing forward the easing of restrictions was only possible because of the State’s high vaccination rates and the roll out of booster shots. “Everybody has done an incredible job to ensure NSW can ease restrictions in a safe and considered way earlier than we planned,” Mr Perrottet said. “We are on track to reach 90 per cent double vaccination weeks ahead of schedule and this is a testament to everybody across NSW and especially our health workers. “There is still a long way to go but the NSW Government is standing with the community and continuing to do everything that we can, including booster shots, to keep people safe as we open up.” Deputy Premier Paul Toole said regional NSW had rolled up their sleeves for vaccinations and we’re now ready to welcome back visitors. “Regions across NSW answered the call when we asked them to come forward and get vaccinated. “Thanks to the community for coming out and getting the jab,” Mr Toole said. “The time is right now for regional businesses to welcome back visitors safely in every town across the state and get tills turning over.”
parks in the Shire. “We’re committed to more dog parks, and we want those dog parks fenced,” he said. “This way, dogs can romp, owners can relax, and everyone knows what’s going on. We will take a fresh look at the council’s approach to “dog on leash” areas and how it manages issues with troublesome hounds.”
Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said reaching the 90 percent target will be a significant milestone in the state’s recovery. “We are inching closer and closer to returning to many of our pre-pandemic activities, and this latest easing of restrictions will be welcome news for hundreds of businesses ready to re-open, expand their operations, and welcome back more customers,” Mr Ayres said. Health Minister Brad Hazzard said NSW has amongst the most vaccinated populations in the world and rolling out booster shots would continue to maintain that advantage. “We are amongst the best in the world when it comes to vaccinations but we cannot forget that COVID will continue to circulate in the community and we must remain vigilant,” Mr Hazzard said. “Boosters are a key priority moving forward and we continue to work closely with the Commonwealth on the COVID-19 vaccination roll out. “I want to encourage anyone who is yet to be vaccinated to make a booking as soon as possible.” More information about the 90 percent easing of restrictions at nsw.gov.au.

Appeal for information following break and enter – Coffs Harbour Police are appealing for public assistance following a break and enter in Park Beach last week.
POLICE are appealing for public assistance following a break and enter in Park Beach last week. About 11.25pm on Wednesday 27 October 2021, officers attached to Coffs-Clarence Police District attended a service station on Ocean Parade, Park Beach, following reports of a break and enter. Police have been told

two men forced entry into the service station and stole a number of items including food, drinks and sunglasses before fleeing the scene. Following inquiries, police arrested a 21-yearold man at a nearby caravan park a short time later. The man was taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station where he was charged with break & enter house etc steal. He appeared in Coffs
Harbour Local Court on Thursday 28 October 2021, where he was granted conditional bail to reappear in the same court on Monday 15 November 2021.

Cate Faehrmann supports Forest Bridge proposal By Andrew VIVIAN GREENS Legislative Council Member Cate Faehrmann has strongly supported a ‘forest bridge’ between Bindarra and Bongil Bongil National Parks by arguing for it in Parliament. Ms Faehrmann told the Legislative council that the Black Summer fires resulted in a 70 percent decline in koala populations across six locations in northern New South Wales and may have killed more than one‑third of koalas in New South Wales. She pointed out that a parliamentary inquiry into koala populations and their habitat found that koalas will be extinct before 2050 if their habitat is not protected, resulting in the Environment Minister setting a goal to double koala numbers in New South Wales by 2050. She questioned how this could be achieved if
there was no updated koala strategy and if koala habitat was still being bulldozed across the State. Ms Faehrmann said, “Like so much other koala habitat in New South Wales, Pine Creek State Forest near Coffs Harbour is under imminent threat from logging. “It is still standing only due to the passionate work of locals to protect it,” she said. She said that it was fortunate for Environment Minister Matt Kean, and for koalas, that “the Minister finds himself in the position of being the environment Minister and the Treasurer at the same time” and that he now has the opportunity to support a proposal developed by the Friends of Pine Creek for a forest bridge conservation area that offers both significant habitat and a koala corridor from the sea to the mountains.
The proposal would see 2,500 hectares of land added to Bongil Bongil National Park from parts of Tuckers Nob and Pine Creek State forests. Ms Faehrmann said that the land sits between Bongil Bongil and Bindarri National Parks, both of which have been listed recently as assets of intergenerational significance because they provide such important habitat to koalas and threatened species after the fires. She said that Bongil Bongil National Park is home to between 400 and 500 koalas and it and the surrounding area are among the few coastal koala habitats that suffered no impact from the fires. Ms Faehrmann told the Legislative Council that the forest bridge proposal would ensure that the vital koala population can safely move westward to the New

Ms Faehrmann said, “I urge Minister Kean to seize this opportunity, open the purse strings and protect this land to prove that his Government was genuine when it said it will take action to save New South Wales koalas from extinction.”

Climate Group Call For Stronger Action By Andrew VIVIAN
WITH the COP26 global climate talks kicking off in Glasgow, Coffs Harbour locals have called for stronger, more urgent action from the Australian Government. Members of Coffs Coast Climate Action Group raised a very large banner reading ‘The climate crisis is already costing Cowper – 2050 is too late’ outside Cowper MP Pat Conaghan’s new office at the Coffs Harbour Jetty on Monday morning. Spokesperson for Coffs Coast Climate Action Group, Tony Johnson, explained, “At one minute to midnight and after weeks of risible theatrics by the Nationals, PM Morrison has finally announced the inevitable - Australia will get to net
zero carbon emissions by 2050.” “But, more importantly, unlike other countries, Australia will achieve this by doing nothing! “That's right, exactly nothing we are not already doing,” he said. Mr Johnson, a local avocado farmer, said, “The climate science is clear, this decade is critical for the world to avoid existential risks associated with runaway global heating. “Our refusal to strengthen our 2030 target will have consequences, in our trade relationships, as well as for the climate.” Mr Johnson said he is fed up with National Party MPs using regional Australians as an excuse to delay action, pointing out that it is farmers and regional communities who
are on the frontlines of climate impacts. He said, “Coffs will experience increasingly powerful storms, hail, bushfires, dangerous extreme heat and coastal inundation and that is why we're asking our Federal MP Pat Conaghan to demand the Government take stronger action.” The Coffs Coast Climate Action Group say the Morrison Government continues to approve, and even subsidise, new coal and gas developments, the biggest drivers of climate change. They say that, without a serious plan to phase out coal and gas, there is no substance to Australia’s emissions reduction targets.

World Teachers’ Day is celebrated in most countries on October 5, but because this date usually falls in school holidays, Australia celebrates on the last Friday in October, which this year was 29 October. Sawtell Public School celebrated NSW World Teacher's Day with the Principal, Michael Hepi, hosting a BBQ breakfast for staff. Mr Hepi said, “We
thought it was a wonderful way of celebrating the important role teachers play in the lives of our young people and also the amazing work of school support staff who make our professional lives easier and who also make valuable contributions to the growth of all students.” One of the people featured in the NESA video, actor Claudia Karvan said, “Pretty much every day I think about my high school teachers and how much you set me up for life and I am sure you are doing the same now under stressful conditions. “Thank you for your hard work,” Ms Karvan said.
By Andrew VIVIAN WORLD Teachers’ Day was celebrated across NSW last Friday with Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning Sarah Mitchell encouraging the community to let the State’s 160,000 teachers know how important they are. Ms Mitchell said, “Great teachers are at the heart of our schools and have a significant impact on young peoples’ lives every day.” The New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA) had a range of items on its website including a video, e-cards for students to send and social media badges.

Tree-o Gallery opens mixed media Showcase By Andrea FERRARI
THE Tree-O Gallery, Raleigh will open its Featured Artist Showcase exhibition, with Opening Night on Saturday 13 November from 4-6pm. Expert curator Sarah Andersen, one of the three Tree-o directors told News Of The Area, “We try to select local artists whose work will resonate not only with our furniture, but also with the other featured artist works. “This allows us to curate harmonious areas within the gallery - whereupon guests may be better able to envision what a piece may look like in their own space.” There are four artists in
this eighth exhibition. John Thiering’s new 2D works will adorn the gallery walls. “His diverse collection, entitled ‘Hypnagogia’ (the state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep), alludes to the dreamlike subject matter of his paintings and describes the way in which his imagery and ideas surface from a state of semi-consciousness.” Colin Dray is an awardwinning blacksmithing artist who works out of his workshop/studio in Bellingen. “Using a hammer, anvil and fire, he creates beautiful and often practical pieces; sculptures, hat racks,

door handles/knockers, coolamons, fire tools etc. “Reanne Brewin has been busy working on her Japanese inspired ceramics that will include innovative, functional and uniquely patterned pots, vessels, cups, bowls, platters and sushi serving sets that will add an earthy harmony to the space. “John Van Der Kolk (sculptor) working out of his Woolgoolga-based workshop; accompanied by a kookaburra named Kev, friendly lorikeets, lunch-stealing sugar gliders and a new puppy to inspire him, we can’t wait to see what he has in store for us.” Two additional local artists will also have their
Tree-o debut – Carmen Lee (timber and hand-drawn pyrography pieces) and Linda Bizon (luxurious woven scarves and bookmarks). Karen Tollan continues her evergreen showing of jewellery showing a unique mix of bead, semi-precious stones and pearls. King Fisher Loud Speakers will have a pair of their A16 speakers with Watergum veneer and a pair of SP15s with exposed ply sides on display with Myles and Trevor Oliver-King on-hand to demonstrate their sound quality by appointment.

Community rallies for removal of decomposing birds By Andrea FERRARI
REMOVING decomposing birds who died as a result of the October hailstorm, from high up in a very tall paperbark tree, was one of this week’s more challenging tasks for WIRES.

Rallying to the Sawtell Community Facebook call for help reaching the lofty nests, arborists Will Maccabee and Nigel Tweddle, partners in Tweddle’s Trees, teed-up with Patricia and Jody to meet onsite and assess the situation. “After some discussions a plan was devised to try and get a look in and around the nests and evaluate the damage, which meant a climb for the arborists,” Jody told News Of The Area. “Nigel geared up and
ascended the tree. “He approached the first of three nests to find that sadly two juveniles were deceased. “Whilst up there he got to see that the other two nests had adults attending and appeared to be uninjured from the hail, witnessing them fly away and return. “Earlier in the week, the Barcoo Court residents found two dead chicks on the ground which they buried,” Patricia told News Of The Area. “A bit over a week later, the residents reported to

“Mark and Will did a great job climbing to remove the corpses and assess if injured or orphaned birds remained.” With storms around and building up, “It was an anxious time, but the positive result of the effort was that no additional bodies were found than initially reported by residents. “There were no chicks left, dead or alive, in the main nest.”
The smaller nests weren't so accessible to view, but if there were chicks alive in those, WIRES assumed the adult birds sighted would be caring for them. Patricia and Jody said, “It was courageous work done by the men who volunteered their services with WIRES and the residents are extremely grateful to Nigel and Will for their help.”

Grant supports food security for Coffs families By Andrea FERRARI
A $10,000 grant under the Empowering and Supporting Local Communities program has been awarded to Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre. Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour, said this NSW Government grants program provides funding for organisations delivering critical grassroots support to the community in response to the pandemic. “I couldn’t be prouder of the incredible work happening across our community in response to COVID with local organisations like Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre leading the charge,” said Mr Singh. Di Woods, Manager Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre, told News Of The Area the funding is being used to continue to assist local families. “Throughout COVID Coffs Harbour has
increasingly experienced a high level of ‘working poor’ families, where both parents are in full and/or part time employed but still
struggle to make ends meet. “Contributing to this are the relatively high Council rates for homeowners and the shortage of rental q David Hargreaves, CHNC volunteer, packs and distributes food items to support those in need.

Neighbourhood Centre has stepped up over the past 12 months to help struggling families keep food on their table. “It is a hand up, rather than a handout,” said Di. “We hope that it supports families with a little relief to keep them managing the best they can. “Throughout COVID with increased need around food, we have been so amazingly grateful for the many donations of meals and pantry items that have been donated from an array of community members to help us support families who were struggling to make ends meet.” Supplies came from a range of anonymous donors, schools and OzHarvest. “From initially offering OzHarvest two days a week, we extended to five to meet demand.” This demand has not subsided. “We are thankful for the funding boost, which will help us to be able to supply more pantry items to help people have basic ingredients to prepare healthy meals and essential items that families need, such as baby products.”

FrogID Week leaps into action By Andrea FERRARI
FROGS are the focus of a leading citizen science project by the Australian Museum known as FrogID Week, which runs from 12-21 November. Nadiah Roslan, FrogID program coordinator, told News Of The Area the data recorded on the all-important free FrogID app during FrogID Week is helping revolutionise frog research and conservation. “The FrogID project relies on the fact that every species of frog makes a unique call, and through their calls we can accurately identify what frog species it is, as well as provide important information on when and where frogs like to breed.
“This is important as we lack a lot of information about our frogs. “We need to fill these knowledge gaps if we are to better-conserve them.” What frogs can we expect to hear and listen out for around the Coffs Coast? Nadiah shared, “Over two dozen frog species can be heard around the Coffs Coast region, and they can be heard from backyards, ponds and bushland. “The Endangered Giant Barred Frog (Mixophyes iteratus) is a frog species we’d love to receive more recordings of. “They have declined severely due to habitat clearing and urban development, as well as the dreadful amphibian chytrid

fungus. “But it’s also important to record the more common frogs. “Species like the Common Eastern Froglet (Crinia signifera), Striped Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes peronii) and Peron’s Tree Frog (Litoria peronii), are great frog species you can potentially hear from your own backyard or local pond. “Recording common frog species often, even if it’s the same frog calling from the same pond every day, helps understand trends and if anything is changing over time. “This spring and summer, we’d also love to know if you hear the ‘bonk’ call of the Northern Banjo Frog (Limnodynastes
terraeriginae) around you, and the deep ‘croak’ of the Green Tree Frog (Litoria caerulea). “Unfortunately, in some parts of NSW, numbers of our iconic Green Tree Frog have declined, and sadly they are being reported sick and dying across the eastern coast of Australia, including the Coffs Harbour region. “Please record any frogs you hear with the FrogID app to help us understand how our unique frogs are doing.” If you observe a sick or dead frog, please report it to the Australian Museum herpetology team by emailing calls@frogid.net.au and include photos and location information.

“In the last month I have heard the lovely sounds of frogs returning to our garden. “We have used the Australian Museum FrogID app to record the sounds of the frogs and have discovered that the frogs we can hear have been identified on the app as the Eastern Dwarf tree frog. “My Grandparents live close by and have seen sightings of frogs in their garden. “This tiny Dwarf Green Tree Frog jumped onto my Grandad while he was gardening. “I hope that during Frog ID Week I can record more sightings to help the Australian Museum with their research.”

Men’s Shed First Step In Community Vision A MAJOR step in a visionary community project was taken at Glenreagh on Saturday, 30 October. As previously reported in News Of The Area, the Glenreagh Men’s Shed opened in September, and Saturday saw the official handing over of the keys by Stewart Mackie, the President of Glenreagh Mountain Railway Incorporated. Mr Mackie said that the Shed was the first stage in a long-term plan to create a vibrant, community-based development using railway land handed over to the Mountain Railway 34 years ago by the State Government. The land was granted on the condition that it was used for heritage railway and community use. It includes the sites of Lowanna and Ulong stations. The Glenreagh section has 35km of track and approximately 48 hectares of land. A similar amount of track as it rises connects with 35km of track granted to the Dorrigo Steam Rail and
Museum as it climbs 900m through world heritage rainforest areas to Dorrigo. The railway carried mainly timber and cattle freight with some passengers until the 1970’s. Currently, there is a usable track at each end, but the middle 28km is unusable because of bridges in disrepair. Mr Mackie said, “Heritage steam railways by themselves are rarely viable, so multiple uses are needed to make the overall project work.” His group envisages a range of uses on the land, including cycling trails, walking tracks and camping. According to Mr Mackie, handing over the keys to the Men’s Shed was an enormous step forward for community use. He said that his group is hoping to get a Men’s Shed in a similar building at Lowanna as the next step in the projects. The group also wants to use the facility with young people as well and have approached TAFE NSW to deliver training courses. The project currently sits
in Coffs Harbour and Grafton Local Government Areas, and could also extend into Bellingen Shire. As such, support is needed from the State Government, local governments and community groups, and Mr Mackie said that there was a lot of in-principle support from all areas. Mr Mackie said, “It’s a long-term, expensive project.” “We want to establish business units at each end to fund improvements and provide jobs.”
Coffs Coast First group announce candidates COFFS Harbour City Councillor George Cecato announced on Thursday that he will be a Mayoral candidate in the upcoming Local Government election. Cr Cecato will be supported by former Member for Cowper Hon Luke Hartsuyker, who is
MUMS BUBS a n d
running for a Councillor position. The full group, known as Coffs Coast First, includes Cr Cecato, Hon Luke Hartsuyker, local father Jesse Young, and well-known Coffs Harbour businessman Paul-Thomas (PT) Clarke. Having served five years as a Councillor delivering results for the community, Cr Cecato said his decision to run for Mayor came after much deliberation. “Coffs Harbour has a bright future, and I have the vision and passion to lead our city as we grow and develop. “I intend to run a positive campaign, focusing on policies that will support local businesses, address housing availability, improve critical infrastructure, and deliver the big projects our city needs as we grow,” Mr Cecato said. Mr Hartsuyker acknowledged that his candidacy may be a surprise to some, but said his commitment to Coffs
Harbour has never dulled. “I’ve never lost my passion for Coffs Harbour. “I’ve spent most of my adult life serving this city in one way or another, and serving our community in local government would give me another opportunity to make a contribution. “George is the right man to lead the next Coffs Harbour City Council, and I have no hesitation in throwing my full support behind his campaign for Mayor,” Mr Hartsuyker said. Mr Hartsuyker represented the federal electorate of Cowper, centred around Coffs Harbour, between 2001 and 2019. He secured federal funding for the Coffs Harbour Bypass and Pacific Highway upgrades at Pine Creek and Sapphire to Woolgoolga. He also delivered funding for the new SCU Allied Health building and C.Ex International Stadium Upgrade. He is currently on the Board of the Mid North

BABKS gives back through Cultural Arts and Dance Award By Andrea FERRARI
HARBOUR Performing Arts Centre of Coffs Harbour has won the inaugural BABKS Cultural Arts and Dance prize, with student Indy Pike being named individual first prize winner. Award founder Mark Hardy, owner of BABKS accounting and bookkeeping in Coffs Harbour, told News Of The Area, “The Awards recognise cultural, arts and music, passions that are overlooked in a country that is fascinated by sport. “The award recipient gets to see the best in Australia perform; inspiring them to dream that if they work hard, will they make it…or they just have the time of their life in their chosen field.” Indy Pike and her mother will attend The Australian Ballet at the Joan Sutherland Theatre at the Sydney Opera House, to see the classic ballet, Romeo and Juliet. “Travel and accommodation are not part of the prize and so a fundraiser has been set up to help Indy and her mother to attend.” Raffle tickets are available at Harbour Performing Arts Centre and from students. Mark said the Harbour
Performing Arts Centre “continually excels at the highest level in Dance Eisteddfod, teaching and developing students into better people overall”. “The Head Teacher and Principal Francesca Montanaro and her band of teachers have done a magnificent job with the students for more than 30 years. “The students love to perform at competitions and have their parents and teachers watch their progress in their chosen passion. “When I attended the presentation of the major award, I could see in their faces the joy they had performing for Francesca and the other teachers who decided on the winner,” said Mark. Thanks go to the business owners who have supported these awards by each supplying a $200.00 scholarship for students at the Dance Centre: Avalon Blayney – Affordable Wholefoods, Dallace Brown – Park Beach Physiotherapy, Addison Rennie – The Happy Frog,

Greens Want Healthy Waterways By Andrew VIVIAN
JONATHAN Cassell believes we need to approach the issue of water quality with a new level of urgency. Mr Cassell, Greens Mayoral candidate, believes that the future health and resilience of our fishing community is at stake unless restoration of Coffs Coasts waterway health is fast tracked. He said, “Council have known for a long time that our waterways are being heavily polluted by intensive
forms of development including urban, industrial and agricultural. “It’s clear, however, that the state government is working at a snail’s pace to reduce the downstream impacts to industries and communities who depend on healthy waterways,” he said. Mr Cassell acknowledges that the Coffs Harbour City Council is currently developing a Catchment Management Program for four estuaries around Woolgoolga to be rolled out over the next ten years but

feels that progress is too slow. He said, “The new program Council is developing lists several serious reasons why waterway pollution exists but stops short of removing the cause of the problem. Mr Cassell said that the Stage 2 report of the program identifies the state government as failing to prevent pollution at all levels of the compliance and regulatory system. “All credit to Southern Cross University and their research into bioreactors, but addressing the pollution in our waterways is much more than just nitrogen removal. “Recreational and

VOICES4COWPER will release their report detailing the results of their public consultation held across Cowper. The report has collated the results of their Kitchen Table Conversations with 260 participants across 49 sites and will be launched online

what they like about their area, how we can strengthen the relationship between local people and political representatives, and the issues of greatest concern to them. Ms Gillian Anderson, Chair of Voices4Cowper said, “The conversations covered living in Cowper, political engagement and representation, and the bigger issues beyond Cowper that were of most concern.” “While political, economic and housing issues were of major concern to participants, the environment and in particular climate change, were raised almost twice as often as any other single issue,” Ms Anderson said. At the launch of the report the committee will share the ideas and issues that participants in the process identified as most important to them. Climate change and the protection of the environment were high on the list. Inequality in our society and the culture of politics were other matters that many participants flagged as needing to be addressed. Many other concerns were identified and these are presented in the report.
All are invited to attend the free online launch on Sunday 14 November at 4.00pm. Gillian Anderson said, “This is an opportunity for participants and other members of the public to have an input to where we take the report from here.” To participate in this event go to the Voices4Cowper website and complete the online registration form. A copy of the report is also available on the website.
commercial fishing communities cannot wait for the role out of three inline bioreactors, that currently cost $25,000 each, to be installed at every entrance point to a creek,” he said. “Neither can they wait for the state government to properly resource compliance and enforcement officers to help effectively reduce harmful farm practices.” Mr Cassell said, “I have spoken to both commercial and recreational fishers and they both question the point of marine parks if a more sinister threat exists upstream of park
boundaries.” He suggests that Council could include, in their Catchment Management Program, a property buy-back option that would directly reduce pollution run-off. He said, “We can stop pollution at its source and rezone this land to increase housing and environmental protection.’ A comprehensive summary of the ‘Coastal Management Program for the Woolgoolga Region Estuaries’ can be found on the Coffs Harbour City Council’s ‘Have your say’ website section.

Traineeships open for Year 12 school leavers By Emma DARBIN
AN opportunity to kick start a career in construction is being offered to Year 12 regional school leavers through a two-year paid traineeship that provides participants with experience across government and private sectors while they complete a qualification. The NSW Government’s Infrastructure Traineeship is specifically for Year 12 students interested in developing their professional skills in the infrastructure industry. The two-year paid traineeships in the infrastructure sector are office based, with trainees spending time in government, with a contractor and with a consultant, and trainees get to visit sites and learn all about how different roles play a part in delivering major projects, such as schools and hospitals, to understand the successful delivery of public infrastructure. Trainees will study for free with TAFE NSW to complete a Cert IV in courses such as Business,
CHH
Project Management Practice or Procurement and Contracting. NSW Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the opportunity for a school leaver to step into a paid role within the industry was remarkable. “It’s rare to see an opportunity as comprehensive as this for students straight out of school,” Ms Mitchell said. “Not only will the traineeship provide practical industry experience and networks across multiple sectors, students will also come out with a qualification, all while getting paid. “This is a pathway that sets young people up for a future in the infrastructure sector by providing a fantastic employment opportunity and a chance for them to get their foot in the door.” The program, run by School Infrastructure NSW, is a collaboration between NSW Government infrastructure agencies and approved industry partners, providing Year 12 graduates with office-based rotations
q
between government agencies, contractors and consultants. Last year was the program’s first intake, which received 2,200 applications for 137 traineeship positions. NSW Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said that in addition to their practical work experience and free TAFE NSW training, trainees will also receive First Aid and White Card accreditation funded by Training Services NSW. “This is an opportunity
for school leavers to gain real world, practical skills so they are equipped for jobs and are part of the long-term economic prosperity in their local region,” Mr Lee said. Applications for the 2022 intake of the Infrastructure Traineeship Program are now open and Year 12 school leavers can find out more and apply for the program at https://education.nsw. g o v. a u / p u b l i c - s c h o o l s / career-and-study-pathways/ infrastructure-traineeships/ about-infrastructuretraineeships.

Polling day restrictions for candidates By Emma DARBIN
COFFS Harbour City Council and Bellingen Shire Council election candidates will not be permitted to distribute election material on polling day at the upcoming Local Government Elections on Saturday 4 December. The directive was handed down by the NSW Electoral Commission last week to NSW local government election candidates to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission between electors, election officials and candidate/political party volunteers. The usual ‘six metre rule’ has now been extended to 100 metres, with the Electoral Commissioner issuing new directions under the Local Government (General) Regulation
2021. These directions include no electoral material being handed out, or left out for collection, in a publicly owned or occupied area (such as on the footpath) that is within 100 metres of the entrance to a polling place or a pre-polling venue on polling days. No posters can be displayed in a publicly owned or occupied area (such as on the footpath or school fences) within 100 metres of the entrance to a polling place or pre-poll venue on polling days, unless they are put in place before 7am. Any posters put in place before 7am on a polling day must not to be adjusted or moved again until after 7pm. Material or posters that contravene these
directions can be confiscated and destroyed by election officials. Mayoral candidate for Bellingen Shire Council Andrew Woodward supported the recent directions and went a step further and wrote to three other Bellingen Shire local government election candidates Dominic King, Steve Allan and Joanne Cook to seek their agreement not hand out ‘how to votes’ to people going to vote at booths at all seven Bellingen Shire polling booths on Election Day and in the two weeks before at the pre-poll voting booth from 23 November. “I propose this in the interests of public health and safety due to the growing numbers of COVID-19 cases on the Coffs Coast,” Mr Woodward stated. “I believe in Bellingen Shire, we need to go a step further to protect our residents and campaign volunteers.

“It will also prevent waste and save money.” Mr Woodward said the number of Covid-19 cases in the Coffs Coast area may grow in the weeks ahead as more people are allowed to move more freely around the State. “We must do what we can locally to limit the risk of infection,” he said. “I therefore propose in the two weeks before the election, at the pre-poll booth that no campaign hands out ‘how to vote’ leaflets to people intending to vote, and on polling day, 4 December 2021, no campaign hands out ‘how to vote’ leaflets to people intending to vote.” Council candidate nominations for the upcoming local government elections opened on Monday 25 October and closed on Wednesday 3 November. Both Coffs Harbour City Council and Bellingen Shire Council will now enter the Caretaker period from Friday 5 November until Election Day, which will see the Councils unable to make significant decisions such as determining controversial development applications and entering into contracts worth more than $150,000. Pre-polling voting opens on Monday 22 November and closes on Friday 3 December, prior to polling day on Saturday 4 December from 8am to 6pm. A total of 125 NSW councils will be holding elections on Saturday 4 December for the election of councillors. Coffs Harbour City Council and Bellingen Shire Council are also two of 35 councils across NSW holding a mayoral election, in addition to the election of councillors. Important dates relating to the December 4 Local Government Elections include: ● 22 November – Pre-poll voting opens ● 29 November – Postal vote applications close ● 3 December – Pre-poll voting closes ● 4 December – Election day (8am6pm) The NSW Electoral Commission’s COVID safety plan for the NSW local council elections includes electors and election staff checking in and out of voting centres using the Service NSW QR code, anyone entering a voting centre must wear a face mask, electors are encouraged to bring their own pens or single use pens will be provided to mark their ballot papers, physical distancing measures will be maintained, additional staff will be employed at voting centres to assist with physical distancing and implementing hygiene measures, and changes to voting eligibility requirements in order to mitigate COVID-19 risks including expanded eligibility for postal voting. Voting in the NSW local government election is compulsory.

Meet Tony Judge’s Labor Team for Council
By Emma DARBIN
COFFS Harbour Mayoral candidate Tony Judge has formally announced his Labor team for the upcoming Coffs Harbour City Council local government election on Saturday 4 December. “The team includes a great diversity of skills and life experience, but we have one thing in common – a desire to work for our community to make Coffs Harbour an even better place to live,” Tony said. “I will lead a team including Julie Hendy, Angela Mansell and John Marsh, all of whom would make an outstanding contribution if elected as Councillors.” Lead candidate, Tony Judge, publicly announced his candidacy for the positions of Mayor and Councillor in 2020. Tony said he has been actively involved in community and policy issues since he contested the State Election in 2019. “It was during the State campaign that I fully realised the huge impact that local government has on the lives of people in our region,” Tony said. “Even though I was running for the State seat, the majority of concerns raised by people who approached me were Council issues. “I decided not long after the State Election that I would seek the opportunity to serve our community on Coffs Harbour City Council.”
Second candidate, Julie Hendy, is a retired neuropsychologist who has lived and worked in Coffs Harbour for almost twenty years. Her professional background includes a stint as Head of Psychology at what is now the Westmead Children’s Hospital. Julie has a strong interest in providing better services for West Coffs Harbour. “There has been a lot of focus on development at Coffs Jetty and in the CBD, but we should not neglect the large community that lives west of the highway,” Julie said. “There is a real need for better services and amenities in that area. “The proposed cycle path is a start, but there is also a need for better footpaths and more local facilities; it is so important that all areas in our region move forward together.” Third candidate, Angela Mansell, comes from a strong background in marketing. She has a passion for sensitive development and allowing the community to keep what it values as it grows into a bigger community. “My guiding principle is ‘keep what we love, build what we need’,” Angela said. “We all choose to live here because of our wonderful environment and the unique character of the place we live. “As we grow, we need to be vigilant to make sure that we don’t change those things we really value; that takes skillful planning, long-term thinking and a strong sense of who we are and I would like to bring that
q Coffs Harbour Mayoral candidate Tony Judge with his newly announced team members for next month’s local government election (from left) John Marsh, Angela Mansell, (Tony) and Julie Hendy. focus to Council.” The final candidate, John Marsh, is a retired food technologist with experience as a Councillor on Blue Mountains City Council. John has a strong belief in the power of community and the need for Council to really engage with community groups, like sporting and cultural clubs. “Community groups really know what’s going on in the area they live in,” John said. “They are such a valuable resource when Councils are planning or proposing a new project.
“They need to be really engaged, not just consulted at the start and end of projects; that’s the way that we really make sure that the community gets what it needs.” Tony Judge said he was happy to be leading such a strong election team. “Coffs Harbour is facing some exciting opportunities and some big challenges,” Tony stressed. “This team has the skills and experience to take on those challenges and build an even better Coffs Harbour.”
Early voting encouraged by RFS chopper comes NSW Electoral Commission to Coffs By Emma DARBIN
COFFS Coast residents are being encouraged to vote early at the upcoming local government election, with all voters now eligible to vote before the Saturday 4 December election day and expanded eligibility for postal voting. NSW Electoral Commissioner John Schmidt said that in response to COVID-19 all voters are able to vote early in person, postal voting eligibility has been expanded and for voters meeting strict eligibility criteria, iVote, the Commission’s technology-assisted online and telephone voting platform will be available at local council elections for the first time. “Local Government elections will be held on 4 December but there are also several ways voters can get their vote in ahead of that date,” Mr Schmidt said. “Voter safety is paramount, as is ensuring every eligible elector in NSW has a chance to have their voice heard. “For the first time all voters are eligible to vote in person at any time during the twoweek voting period when a polling place is open.” Early voting or pre-poll is available from Monday 22 November to Friday 3 December 2021, and any person enrolled to vote may vote by pre-poll. Recent amendments to the Local Government Act 1993 and Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 mean that voters will have a longer period in which to apply for, receive and return postal voting packs. Postal vote applications opened on Tuesday 26 October, and postal votes must be received by 6pm on 17 December. You may be eligible to use iVote (online voting option) at this election if you are blind or have low vision, are unable to vote without assistance or have difficulty voting at a polling place because you have a disability

Pied Oystercatcher chicks hatched at Emerald Beach By Andrea FERRARI
THE successful hatching of a Pied Oystercatcher chick at Moonee Beach has thrilled the locals and bird watchers alike. “This is exciting news as Pied Oystercatchers are listed as endangered in NSW,” Bellingen Birdwatchers member Gail Yager told News Of The Area. “I was alerted to the fact that a female Pied Oystercatcher was sitting on a nest by Mark Watt from NPWS at Emerald Beach. “He asked me to watch out for a ‘runner’ (chick). “I was then told by Jeffery Iddles that he and his wife, Debbie had noticed the birds mating some weeks before.
“Jeff has taken a keen interest in the Pied Oystercatchers who live on Moonee Beach near Look At Me Now Headland.” Between Jeff and Gail, they undertook daily monitoring of the nest. Uncertain when the egg was laid, Gail says they were probably a little early but never-the-less started checking the nest daily. The incubation period is 28 days. “Each day we were anticipating the arrival of the chick. “One day, Jeff and I both noticed the female was sitting higher in the nest. “The next day I received an excited message from Jeff saying the chick has hatched
‘bring your camera and start shooting away’ – I was off like a light,” she said “When I arrived at the beach there was Mum and Dad and a very fluffy, wobbly chick on the beach. “It was like witnessing a miracle.” Staying low in the dunes, Gail started snapping away, as is her wont. Gail is the current overall winner of the recent Nature Photography Competition run by CeX Coffs Camera Club, with her photo of a swooping Osprey also taken at Emerald Beach. “Jeff arrived, and together, we watched the family in awe. “Dad was very attentive, gathering food from the water’s edge and encouraging
the chick to feed.” The water is a long way from the nest in the dunes. “The chick tired quickly and would plop down and rest. “Being very shaky on its

NSW Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning Sarah Mitchell revealed on Friday 29 October that a pilot program of the home test kits would begin in Albury this week. “I want to see disruption to our students’ education from COVID reduce, while still keeping schools safe places to learn,” Ms Mitchell said.
RAPID antigen home tests may soon be available to stop disruption in schools from positive COVID-19 cases, with a trial currently underway in Albury. The NSW Government is trialling the Rapid Antigen Home Testing (RAHT) kits to reduce disruption at schools and halve the time close contacts of Covid-19 positive cases in schools need to isolate.

“This requires us to deploy every tool available to balance the risk. “We will be trialling the tests in two ways: a broad surveillance approach, along with close contact testing to reduce initial positive cases on school sites and reduce the amount of time close contact students need to spend away from school.” The surveillance method will see the kits distributed by schools for use at home by staff and students who are asked to do a test twice a week as part of community surveillance. “People with a positive result would need to follow up with a regular (PCR) test at a NSW Health testing centre and those who test negative will go on with their normal day-today routines assured that they are not infected or at risk of spreading the virus,” Ms Mitchell said. Unvaccinated students who are close contacts of a positive case will also be able to reduce their isolation time by using the kits on a daily basis. “NSW Health has advised us that close contacts of COVID positive cases will have their isolation period halved to seven days provided they receive a consistent negative result,” Ms Mitchell said. “This is about living with a virus and getting back to normal life while ensuring the community is confident in their safety on school sites. “Our best line of defence against this pandemic remains vaccinations, and until all students are eligible for one we must continue using measures like RAHT kits to keep schools safe.” A positive rapid antigen test doesn’t mean an individual necessarily has COVID-19, it means they need to get a standard (PCR) test straight away at a NSW Health testing centre to confirm the result. Use of the RAHT kits will be optional, however close contacts of positive Covid-19 cases who opt not to undertake the daily home tests will need to self-isolate for the full 14 days.

Liverpool Football Club partners with Bishop Druitt College in Coffs Coast first LIVERPOOL FC International Academy this week announced Bishop Druitt College as their exclusive partner school on the Coffs Coast to deliver world-class coaching clinics and development programs. This landmark relationship between the world-renowned Liverpool Football Club and the Australian College of Physical Education (ACPE) is a first-time opportunity for Coffs Coast football players and coaches to grow their skills, both on and off the field. “We were approached by the LFC International Academy who were seeking to partner with a small number of schools with the shared belief that well run, values based sports programs can support stronger education outcomes. In this we believe the values of the Bishop Druitt College are strongly aligned,” said Mr Johnstone.
“We feel this is a great opportunity to build the skills of local football players aged 6 - 16 years, and complements the work we are doing at Bishop Druitt College through the Football Academy and High Performance programs, and our existing relationship with North Coast Football,” he added. Emerging football talent across all schools in the Coffs Coast area will now have access to a range of authentic Liverpool Football Club programs, alongside sports specialist tertiary education resources from ACPE. The partnership will deliver local programs including after school coaching and training for football participants aged 6-16 of all ability levels. Through this highly professional program, participants are encouraged to improve their skills, whilst also developing life skills such as communication,
teamwork and leadership. “The Academy program is unique because it brings together the proven football methodology and philosophy of the Liverpool Football Club,” said LFC International Academy General Manager, Scott Collis. “This is a first for Coffs Harbour in creating an environment for young players to develop both on and off the pitch, bringing some of the best football coaching skills in the world to Coffs Harbour. “What we are creating is very different to what most people would see as a ‘normal’ football program. At the core of what we do is a belief in a holistic approach to development, because better people do truly make better players,” Mr Collis added.

Alleged failure to care for late husband HENRY meets Mary, who is 20 years his junior. He has nine children to a previous relationship. Henry and Mary are married a year later. They discuss their estate planning and Mary tells Henry that she is happy to be treated as one of the kids, when it comes to the distribution of his estate. Henry wishes to be fair to his wife and his children and makes a will leaving 10% of this estate to Mary and 10% to each of his children. Under the will, he also permits Mary to reside in his house for three years. His eldest son is appointed as executor. Henry passes-away 20 years later after a lengthy battle with cancer. Henry’s estate consists primarily of his home valued at $1.5 million. Mary moves-out of the home after three months. She is uncomfortable living in the house without Henry. The house is sold by Henry’s executor and Mary rents a nearby small unit. She pays the rent from her Age Pension. She has no significant assets. Mary waits for her inheritance but it is not forthcoming. She reads several upsetting posts on social media alleging that she had not properly cared for Henry during his illness. Mary sees a solicitor and obtains advice regarding her rights. Court action is commenced by Mary, seeking additional provision from Henry’s estate. During the course of a five-day hearing, Henry’s children detail their complaints regarding Mary’s alleged failure to care for Henry, stating that it constitutes “disentitling conduct” which should prevent her from making a successful claim. All of the parties’ financial circumstances are examined by the Court. The Judge finds that Mary, as an untrained nurse, “did her best in the circumstances” and given her financial needs, awards her an additional $400,000 plus legal costs of $150,000.

DEAR Jasminda,
The Australian Way DEAR News Of The Area
‘THE Australian way’. The message Scott Morrison takes to the most important international meeting of all time. Subject matter? Saving the planet from burning. What a contrast with fellow Conservative, British PM Boris Johnson. They share similar market ideology, politically they’re birds of a feather. One stark difference! Johnson is the planet’s vocal proponent for mitigating climate change. He reads the science and acts accordingly. Our Torys, the Liberal and National Party pessimists are gung-ho for mining coal and gas. Apparently we can remain the world's third biggest
exporter of hydrocarbons while “meeting and beating our targets”. What is it about spin when it combats scientific facts? What’s behind the repeated clichés, “clean coal”, “when the sun doesn’t shine etc”? Have you heard Scott Morrison or Barnaby Joyce give voice to “acidified oceans”, or the chilling "mass extinctions of species”? The ‘Anthropocene’ will never cross their lips. Why do Australians elect leaders who wilfully reject science? Do we as a people dismiss research as a distraction from sunshine, sport and beer? These asks get to our national acuity. Donald Horne pinned
WE have had a horrific last two years bushfires, floods, storms and of course COVID causing so much heartache and fear. Last week we had a terrible hail storm in this area causing serious damage to many people’s homes and cars, as well as decimation of trees and wildlife.
it in 1964 with his revealing analysis of Australians. His book, ‘The Lucky Country’, dived into the Australian psyche. It defines Scott Morrison and Barnaby Joyce decades later. Here are Horne’s prescient words. “Australia is a lucky country run by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people’s ideas, and although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise.” If Scotty, Barnaby and parliamentary deniers read this classic they would see themselves with depth beyond a mirror. Regards, Warren TINDALL, Bellingen.
The Right to Choose or Refuse DEAR News Of The Area,
WHERE am I? Have I entered a time warp? I only went shopping but I had to tell the government where I was. I then had to show my papers and have them checked. A group of my fellow citizens have been made second class citizens and we are encouraged to demonise
them. As yet they are not required to wear an identifying symbol but I worry that will come. We proudly slap ourselves on the back if we out our neighbour for not following the rules. There are check points on the borders and a premier who is giving himself unfetter dictatorial powers (with the support of the Greens) to make laws without any reference to cabinet or the parliament. If he next starts to grow
a small moustache I shall be truly terrified. Can someone reassure me that this is not 1930s Germany and that I am still in Australia, although it is not the Australia I used to know? Sure we should have health rules but it is sheer evil to make a person a second class citizen solely for making their own decisions about their health and medication. It is their human right to do so. I am vaccinated solely to protect me and no other, for that is all this vaccine does.
centre staff). It has been heartwarming to receive such practical help and concern, and also from our neighbours, family and friends. Yet, here we have some councillors squabbling over the ‘branding’ of the

Yesterday, peering down from my balcony, I saw my neighbour with her dog, which proceeded to defecate on my lawn. When I went down later to inspect, the repulsive mess was still there. I later approached my neighbour and she said there was nothing she could do because her dog had diarrhea. Is that a reasonable excuse? Mrs Vicki A. Dear Vicki, THIS morning I woke to read about how ScoMo had lied to Macron, and the everincreasing issues over climate change, Gladys being grilled by ICAC, our kids doomed to rent forever in a society increasingly divided into the haves and the have nots, and then I was brought back to reality by your query, which really is a metaphor for the world stage. I will not diminish the importance of your question, because from little things, big things grow. Who knows what sort of liberties your neighbour may take in the future. “ Loud parties, leaf blowing near your washing line, solar reindeer that glow into your loungeroom at Christmas time, making you ponder landfill targets and the impact of climate change on the Taimyr reindeer in Russia, when you really should be enjoying a guilt-free Vodka, lime, and soda. It is, of course, near impossible to contain the contents of a runny dog into a biodegradable bag, so she has a point. However, she could have left a note to explain and then come back with a bucket of water to dilute the mess. Or she could have gathered some bark and grass clippings and at least covered it up, so no one walked through it. Alternatively, if she had a small, fluffy dog, she could have simply used it as a sponge. Regardless, I think your neighbour is lacking in both integrity and imagination. I doubt you'll have any more issues though, since she knows you're spying on her dog's bowel movements from the lofty heights of your balcony. Carpe diem, Jasminda.
I don’t care if the person next to me is vaccinated or not. I can be infected by either person. The vaccine does not prevent me from catching Covid. It just reduces the symptoms should I be unfortunate enough to catch it. So why are we mistreating these people? It is their right to refuse as it is my right to choose. We seem to be as easily misled as the people were in the 1930s. Regards, W DUESBURY, Boambee. behaviour is an absolute insult to the decent and hard working people of this community.

Council Column: State Government Auditors Give Council Big Tick for Financial Performance COFFS Harbour City Council has once again achieved all of the NSW Office of Local Government’s benchmarks for its financial performance. Council’s external auditors – the Audit Office of NSW – presented the news through their ‘Conduct of the Audit Report’ at the last Council Meeting. “The auditors also
confirmed that Council’s cash and debt position is also sound,” said Mark Griffioen, Council’s Group Leader Financial Services and Logistics. “Total cash and investments grew by $28.8m to $254.043m in 2020-21 and total borrowings reduced by $16.1m to $107.46m. Of these, $95.27m relates to the Water and Sewerage Funds, which is being
paid off through water and sewerage user charges. “In summary, Council’s net debt position has improved $44.2m in just this one financial year.” Despite the challenges faced by Council and the community over the financial year due to the Covid-19 pandemic and a series of natural disasters, Council’s prudent financial management has meant it has maintained a

financially sustainable and responsible operating position. Overall, Council recorded a ‘Net Operating Result’ for the 202021 year of a surplus of $34.203m. “What needs to be kept in mind is that much of this surplus is funding that has been received for capital projects,” added Mr Griffioen. “A more accurate measure of Council’s underlying financial health is the ‘Net Operating
Result Before Grants and Contributions Provided for Capital Purposes’. “For Council in the 2020-21 financial year this was a surplus of $0.529m. “This result also reflects the most important of Council’s audited performance ratios - the ‘Operating Performance Ratio’ which was a positive 4.76%. “The reason why this is the most important ratio is because it doesn’t include revenue that Council has received to spend on

This little family ambled across the front of the property toward an area where the gap under the fence was greatest. As the little family neared the exit I noticed that the neighbours cat
was showing considerable interest in the procession, and was advancing toward the potential ambush location. Suddenly a butcher bird flew in to distract the cat; a speedy exit and lack of interest evident. It was most interesting and observable the change in attitude of the little duck family, and heartwarming to watch the change from
Whose interests are the National Party protecting? DEAR News Of The Area, I AM staggered to read Pat Conaghan’s clarification of his and the National Party’s stance on Climate Change (Pat Conaghan Clarifies Climate Stance, p13, Coffs Coast News of the Area, 29 October Edition). He says that his number one priority “always has been to ensure that we protect regional and rural Australian jobs”.
My understanding is that we vote in our local parliamentary representative to protect and progress the interests of us, the local people of this electorate. In Mr Conaghan’s case that’s the people of Cowper where there is no significant mining industry to fill his electoral coffers. So contrary to National Party policy, it is the local electors interests Mr Cohaghan is paid by
us the people to protect, not those of foreign mining companies mainly operating interstate. Let’s look at how Mr Conaghan’s claim stacks up both locally and in regional areas in general. Due to climate change which his party effectively denies, in the past ten years, regional areas have suffered record drought. In the past two years due to unprecedented bush fires, regional areas
have suffered record destruction of land, jobs, homes and lives. And in the past few weeks due to hail, local homes, cars and property have been severely damaged. A significant local shopping centre has been decimated and closed and through much of regional Australia widespread damage and destruction of fruit, vegetable and vine crops has occurred which will affect thousands of rural and regional businesses and jobs and
increase food prices for all. These are the interests Mr Conahan says his party is pledged to protect. So exactly how are they doing this? Of course Mr Conaghan’s National Party is in a coalition which due to its incompetence, in just the past two years has severely damaged trade and future prospects with our two largest trading partners of China and the EU. Mr Conaghan will argue that some of his party’s mining clients are
Invest your voting privilege wisely DEAR News Of The Area,

There can be no doubt that we need change, which calls for recruiting the best leaders. It’s time for clear heads as we gather strength to chart the future of our beautiful city. Many policies will assail

The audited financial statements will be published shortly as part of Council’s Annual Report. The Office of Local Government also has a yourcouncil.nsw.gov.au website, which provides comparative performance information on all councils across the state.

q $4.9m in State Government funding is being sought by Coffs Harbour City Council to start work on the Jetty Memorial Theatre Expansion Project. Photo: g2 architects. By Emma DARBIN A $4.9 MILLION grant application to help fund the Jetty Memorial Theatre Expansion Project is being applied for by Coffs Harbour City Council. Coffs Harbour City councillors have unanimously agreed for Council to seek $4,907,000 from the NSW Government Creative Capital Fund, which was established to meet the demands for facilities to support the creative economy and improve access to and participation in quality cultural experiences across NSW.
Council will allocate $2.4m as its contribution to the project should the grant application be successful.
There is also a $35,000 community stakeholders contribution from the Jetty Theatre Trust Account towards the project. The ‘Jetty Memorial Theatre Expansion Project New Rehearsal/Community Space’ will deliver: - A rehearsal/community space - a replica of the existing performance stage inclusive of directing space, and shall be utilised as an alternative community space; - Additional male, female and accessible amenities including a shower facility; - A set assembly area for the building of theatrical sets; - A workshop area; - Costume and prop storage areas; - Storage for Jetty Theatre management; - Additional car parking including accessible car space and - Extension of the

undersized existing kiosk/ bar, additional kitchen servery and expanded foyer area The main focus of the expansion is the rehearsal space and community facility, which will allow for a rehearsal area with the same width as the main stage with the ability for directors to stand outside this area. The existing outdoor covered area will be replaced with a new weather-proof foyer area that can be used during main performances, as well as the foyer for the new space. There is an expansion of the existing kiosk, enabling improved kiosk service and a doubling of the number of amenities in the building, increasing the comfort of patrons before and after performances. The existing storage, workshop and set assembly facilities will be weatherproofed and expanded. There will be a number of new parking spaces and the two turpentine trees on site will be retained. Schematic design has been completed for the project by g2 architects at Sawtell and the project has been costed. Further work to progress the project to 100 percent detailed design will be undertaken, and the finalisation of the design will confirm the final project budget.
The planning and design completed to date identifies the project cost to be $4.9 million to design and construct.
A Council report stated that the project is required to help meet the shortage of available rehearsal space for community performance groups and make available community space for both the community and not for profit groups. “In addition, it will improve current operational shortfalls by providing a larger kiosk and foyer, much needed additional toilets and shower facilities and car parking,” the report stated. “It will also improve health and safety standards by providing a set assembly and workshop area adjacent to the stage, therefore minimising the current risk in the manual handling and transportation of stage sets from outside the building. “Essentially this investment will upgrade and expand existing cultural infrastructure enabling a greater fit-for-purpose theatre venue and will ensure increased access and participation to a quality theatre space for our local performing arts communities, touring artists and audiences.”
Development consent for the project was granted by Council in May 2019.
The announcement of successful grant applications which will progress to the full application round will be made this month, with the announcement of successful applicants expected in mid2022. “If successful, the funding would enable Council and the NSW Government to work in alignment to deliver this important project for the community,” the Council report stated.

Blooms are popping up everywhere and the warmer weather has given an extra spring in people’s steps; it’s about this time of year that everyone decides they are a gardener again. Who wouldn’t when the flowers are flirting and the sun is smiling? Tonight, the crew have a treasure chest of gardening ideas and tips. Costa explores the best native spring flowers to suit almost any garden, and Sophie plants containers with species that attract native bees. Jane gives the lowdown on new laws around netting fruit trees safely,
It’s no surprise this Aussie political drama has returned for a second series. It featured an unforgettable performance by veteran support act Deborah Mailman (Offspring) in her first lead role. The biting script and blistering examination of morality told the story of a woman changing the face of the political landscape, and her journey is far from over. In tonight’s first instalment of its six-episode return, Alex (Mailman) faces the reality of her alliance with the opposition leader.
ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY
7TWO, 8.30pm
While observing people move to green, roomy residences in the countryside in our neck of the woods is appealing, there’s something special about witnessing it all happen halfway across the world. The British terrain and its quaint, centuries-old houses are worlds away from here. The British just seem to know how to do a picturesque country residence right. Tonight, dapper Jules Hudson is in East Devon with a couple who plan to live the dream: they have a generous budget and hope to find a property with land, a selfcontained annexe and room for guests. 0511

Sawtell SLSC 24-hour Row for Mental Health By Andrea FERRARI
NUDGING $1000 raised, Sawtell Surf Life Saving Club’s (SSLSC) participation in the national Gotcha4Life annual 24-hour row for Mental Health (30-31 October) was spearheaded by local member, Fiona Lane. A very tired but satisfied Fiona, having had limited sleep through the duration of the event, told News Of The Area the next day, “Congratulations to all Sawtell members and their friends who gave up some of their weekend to row. “A massive effort was made by the overnight crew rowing through the night. “This event wouldn’t have been such a success without everyone coming together. “For me it was about getting the awareness out
in the community more than raising money; it’s very overwhelming to see everyone donating and almost doubling our $500 goal…thank you. “We rowed a total of 552 kms with 60 participants, mostly rowing for half-anhour.” Fiona’s mum Cheryl powered through an hour taking the row from Saturday to Sunday across midnight covering 10.5 kilometres. SSLSC Life Member Cheryl said, “Our whole family got involved (Fiona’s dad bringing up the close of the event to midday on Sunday). “Our family has been touched by mental illness. “It’s a great event for members of all ages to get involved and do something to raise awareness and money
to fund Gotch4Life mental health programs.” Kellie Reinhold, a SSLSC member and teacher in the local school, who also rowed for one hour, said, “Anything to support mental health awareness…the more chances we get to talk about it, the less of a stigma it has.” Greg Hackforth, a lifeguard with Coffs Harbour City Council said, “I’ve gone through mental health issues dealing with severe trauma after the Moonee Beach drownings in 2018. “Three people drowned; despite the efforts of CPR, they passed away. “I’ve done a lot of CPRs but for some reason that one rolled me. “A lot of people have had it a lot worse than I have.” Huge thanks goes to Anytime Fitness Toormina

Zonta’s toiletry bags for homeless women By Andrea FERRARI
ZONTA Club of Coffs Harbour members came together recently to assemble an initial 50 toiletry bags to support women experiencing homelessness. The bags are being distributed through Pete's Place Drop-In Centre at the Coffs Harbour Community Village. “Even in COVID times, the energetic members of the Zonta Club of Coffs Harbour Inc. are continuing to develop new projects,” Michelle Williams, Club President, told News Of The Area.
“The decision to make up the toiletry bags came after Anna Scott, Co-ordinator at Pete's Place, spoke to us about the needs of the homeless women at the drop-in centre. “We were also inspired by a number of other Zonta clubs doing toiletry bags as one of their club’s projects.” Zonta Coffs Harbour’s ultimate goal is to provide 1,000 toiletry bags over the course of the next 12 months. Bags will be sewn through the assistance of women inmates at the Clarence Correctional Centre. “The initial bag assembly would not have happened
without the support of Theresa Peppernell (Days for Girls) who generously supplied Zonta with colourful cloth bags; toothbrushes and toothpaste were from The Dental Centre and Ethical Dental and Orthodontics, and toiletry items from DWS Coffs (Direct Wholesale Services). “We are also indebted to community members who collected hospitality items for us during their travels.” Each bag contains shampoo, shower gel, body lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, toothbrush holder and a sponge.

to see if they are okay. “If you are concerned about your own or a friend’s mental health and wellbeing, headspace is a great place to go for help. “Getting support can help you keep on track at school, study or work, and

Little Terns spend Australia’s winter in eastern Asia then fly six thousand kilometres back to Australia’s coast line to breed. Most locals and visitors are aware that the Sawtell breeding site is one of the most important and successful in NSW, not only because of National Park rangers who monitor the birds each summer but largely because of the care and support of the local community. The National Park staff also help protect the Terns with fences and poison baits to remove foxes and feral dogs. The Little Terns are only just beginning to arrive now and five to

Pied and Sooty Oystercatcher nests were already on the Bonville Spit and survived the recent storms, as did a few hatched chicks, because the heart of the hail storm passed well north of the Park. Little Terns are only slightly bigger than a budgerigar and lay their well-camouflaged eggs in a small scrape in the sand. The Terns’ eggs are vulnerable to the elements, unsuspecting beachgoers and predators. The newly-hatched chicks initially shelter
in the dunes amongst driftwood and beach grass, then move to the water’s edge as they grow ready for their first flight. Last season, somewhere between 30-40 Little Tern chicks fledged on the site. By early February all of the Little Terns, adult and young, have left Sawtell to make their way back to the northern hemisphere. Locals are hoping that this will be another successful breeding season, facilitated by everyone taking care and keeping their distance.

Try a Tri By David WIGLEY THE Coffs Harbour Triathlon Club are holding their second event of the season, the ‘Try a Tri’, on Sunday 7 November 2021 at Jetty Beach. The event gives athletes the opportunity to participate in one of two formats. The shorter enticer format is a 350m swim,
10km bike ride and 2.5km run whilst the longer sprint distance format is a 750m swim, 20km bike ride and 5km run. Each event is run with volunteers providing safety and direction for the athletes, particularly during the swim and bike legs. Race Director Mark Garner said they will also be offering a buddy system to help those people move through the course with confidence and to assist with any tips and tricks on the

Sawtell smash their way to flying start in T20 Premier League By David WIGLEY
SAWTELL Cricket Club smashed their way to a flying start in the opening round of the Premier League T20 series, defeating the Coffs Coast Colts at Richardson Park. Sawtell batted first and set the Colts a total of 172 runs for 7 wickets with Trent Dierick scoring 59 runs off 29 balls which included 3 sixes and 8 fours. Tyh Murphy then hit an
unbeaten 58 runs from 37 balls to pile the pressure onto the Colts. Although the Colts had a promising start with their opening batsmen scoring 40 runs, the wickets fell quickly with the Sawtell bowling attack limiting the Colts to 96 runs for 7 wickets. It was a standout performance by fifteen year old Colts player James Lobb who took two wickets and four catches, with one of the
catches already a contender for catch of the season. Sawtell captain Richie Gallican was delighted to be back playing again
“It’s great to be back out on the field again, you can feel the buzz amongst the players.
A SQUAD of some of Coffs Harbour’s best swimmers have made a stunning return
to competition. After not being able to compete since July due to restrictions on community sport, the local squad have
made a glorious return to the pool. The local squad have excelled in events over the past two weekends, recording
new country, state, and even national times as well 65 personal bests. Lilly Geddes (15 years) has now qualified for her first Age Nationals in two events, swimming exceptionally well. She’ll now go on to compete at both the Australian National Open Water Championships in January before she returns to Adelaide, South Australia to compete at the Australian National Age Championships in April.

“Trent Dierick and Tyh Murphy were outstanding with the bat today and really set us up for a good score and gave our bowlers something to work with. “All of our bowlers were economical and put the pressure on the Colts, the wickets were spread evenly, Charlie Howard and Tomas Neal both got two wickets and Jake McMillan and myself both got a wicket each,” said Richie.

North Coast Cricket Council’s Premier League main season set to begin By Aiden BURGESS
AFTER starting with T20 matches, the opening round of the North Coast Cricket Council's 2021/22 Premier League season gets underway this weekend. Last season's Premier League champions Sawtell Cricket Club begin their premiership defence with a one-day match at home against Clarence River Cricket Association’s representative team on Sunday at Richardson Park. The other two matches of the opening round are two-day matches with the first day played this
Saturday and the second day played the following weekend. Last season's runners up the Northern Districts Rebels play host to the Coffs Colts in Woolgoolga. This opening round match takes on extra significance as the Coffs Colts will be making their Premier League debut. Northern Districts Rebels captain Taj Dosanjh told News Of The Area his side looked forward to going one better this season. “Our squad is pretty similar to last year, but we do lose Blake Austin who
has moved to Sydney,” he said. “Our young leg spinner Lachy Carlyle will be back in December as he has broken his thumb, and he has great future prospects.” The other Round 1 match sees Valleys Cricket hosting Harwood in Macksville. After finishing last on the ladder in their debut season in the Premier League, Valleys Cricket were vastly improved in their second season finishing one win away from the grand final after losing their preliminary final to the Northern
Districts Rebels. Having won
the
2019/20 Premier League title, Harwood regressed
last season to not play finals.
Saturday, 18 December. The 3-on-3 basketball tournament will be held over one big day at Sportz Central, with all proceeds going to the Warrina Domestic and Family Violence Specialist Services. The day will feature junior, men’s and women’s divisions, as well as a special open mixed division
for emergency services and first responders only. Warrina Domestic and Family Violence Specialist Services provide a range of services for women and their children who have experienced domestic and family violence. They provide a variety of support services across the Coffs Harbour, Bellingen,
and Nambucca local government areas and the Mid-North Coast District. Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight described the social value of sporting events such as the upcoming 3-on-3 tournament. “Sport is a good level place where you know that you can have males and females working
together, playing together, and talking together, and communicating together about things like this,” she said. Event organiser Robert Linton outlined the frenetic nature of 3-on-3 basketball. “Three on three is so far past paced, there is no rest, there are no breaks, so you are really trying to
use all team members and everyone pitching in,” he said. The Ball Against Domestic Violence 3x3 Tournament will feature a big day of basketball from 9am to 7pm at Sportz Central, with junior competitions in the morning and open competitions in the afternoon.

Classic homecoming for Amelia HAVING returned home to Coffs Harbour only a couple of months ago after studying and playing golf for five years at Iowa State University, Amelia Mehmet-Grohn showed how strong her game is with a win in the Coffs Harbour Ladies Classic. After shooting even-par on day one, Mehmet-Grohn shot a 4-under 69 in the final round of the 36-hole stroke event at her home Coffs Harbour Golf Club. She started the day leading 15-year-old Hollie Fuller from Grafton by three strokes but a strong front nine put the home town favourite in a strong position. The margin at the end was
a comfortable nine strokes. Playing in front of those who’ve supported her since she started playing, MehmetGrohn admitted she felt some pressure prior to teeing-off. “It’s my home club so you’re expected to play well at your home course,” she said. “But it’s not just playing for myself but for everyone that’s supported me over the years who I’m very grateful to. “So just to play well in front of them is a tip of the cap to them.” The fact the final day of the event was able to be played at all was an achievement. The night before the
course had received 85mm of rain which meant in the final round the bunkers were forced out of play and players had to tee-up all around the course except for near the green. The Ladies Classic is an event that along with the North Coast Amateur Open is the culmination of the annual Festival of Golf at Coffs Harbour’s unique 27-hole layout. The men’s event was a lot closer with Maitland’s Clayton Small prevailing by one stroke over a trio of home club players in Dave Newick, Logan Toms and Jason Webb. Newick was level with Small as he teed off on the last

Coffs Harbour Comets flying winger Billy Griffiths said it’s a great opportunity for the younger players. “As a local footy fan I think it's great for the competition. “From the short amount of time it has been announced you can already see the excitement in Coffs Harbour through social media. “I imagine it will bring back plenty of spectators after a long couple of years dealing with covid restrictions. “With Sam Burgess now joining the likes of Brandon Costin and Clint Greenshields in a coaching position, it's a great opportunity for the
younger players to soak up the knowledge on offer if they aspire to play in the NRL. “As a player, the whole reason you pull the boots on is to test yourself against the best and there isn't much better than Greg Inglis. “I'll be turning up with my A-game when I line up against him, that's for sure,” said Billy. Macksville Sea Eagles Club President Dean Hillery is delighted Inglis made the decision to return home. “We are absolutely delighted to see Greg return to his hometown and the club where he grew up playing rugby league. “The Sea Eagles are like a big family, nearly all of the players are from the town and grew up playing junior rugby together at Macksville or Bowraville and now stand together in first grade competing in Group 2,” said Dean. “It’s a coincidence, but Greg used to play with our first team coach Matt Hyland at the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Greg Inglis joins the Macksville Sea Eagles to play in Group 2 By David WIGLEY FORMER NRL superstar Greg Inglis has joined the Macksville Sea Eagles to play for his childhood club in the 2022 Group 2 competition. Inglis played for Australia and Queensland as an outside back and spent five years at the Melbourne Storm where he won two grand finals, a Clive Churchill Medal and in November 2009 the Golden Boot Award as the world's best player. Inglis went on to play for the South Sydney Rabbitohs from 2011 to 2019 where he won a premiership in 2014. Last year Inglis played for the Warrington Wolves in the UK Superleague before making the decision to return back to his grass roots. The arrival of the high profile star is not only a big boost for Macksville but also a coup for the Group 2 competition and the players. Coffs Harbour Comets

Dark horses to the fore in Coffs Club Champs WHEN the field tees-off on Saturday morning for the Brown & Hurley Coffs Harbour Golf Club’s Men’s Club Championships, predicting who’s going to take out the top prize in 2021 is a more difficult proposition than it has been in past years. The club’s head professional Matt Allan said the fact the winner of the 72-hole stroke event is so hard to pick is great for those not only playing but
watching as well. “I think it’s really open, I think it’s exciting,” Allan said. “You’ve got your usual suspects like Dan Swain, David Rook and Shane Cutmore along with young guns like Aden Louez and Billy Flanagan. “But we’ve also got some sneaky ones in there too like Dave Newick, Logan Toms and Jason Webb who all finished one stroke away from playing
in a play-off for the North Coast Amateur Open last week. “It’s certainly not a onehorse race which it has felt like a little bit in past years.” While simply beating the other players in the field is hard enough in a club championship, Allan said an added degree of difficulty will need to be overcome by the leaders. “Obviously weather is going to play a part and it

Club captain Greta Smith told News Of The Area she can’t wait to get back on the

Urunga Bowls
By Pamela WATSON WEDNESDAY afternoon club Urunga twilight bowls celebrated Halloween, with some fantastic costumes on the green. Urunga plays twilight bowls Wednesday at 5pm, names in by 4pm please all welcome, we have bowls at the club for you if you would like to come and see what the game is all about. Saturday ladies minor pairs started, with Pammy Watson and Wendy Hodges going through to the final, their opposition will be determined after next Saturday, all the best to everyone. Sunday club Urunga celebrated presentation day, with lots of lawn the green players enjoyed the fun with new players getting a chance to skip and some of our seasoned players returned to lead or 2nd positions. After the fun on the green we enjoyed lunch followed by the presentation of awards. Congratulations to all those who participated over the year because without you all there would be no finals. Special thanks to our fantastic team who have worked very hard to get all our in house competitions completed during another difficult year. Our very own young gun surprised some very talented veterans this year and there was nothing he couldn’t do winning lots of awards throughout the year, none more importantly than becoming the second player in club history to take out both the minor and major titles for 2021- well done Aaron Chojniki. Lucky for our seasoned players Aaron didn’t get to play in the open gender competition giving the players a chance and they all fought hard for the title coming down to a hard fought game between John Davis and Glenn (bones) Wedlock with Glen becoming the 2021 open gender champ.well done everyone and hopefully COVID will be kind to us all next year.

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.

Men of League Friday, 5 November 2021
By David WIGLEY
THE Men of League Foundation raised over $15k at their annual fundraiser luncheon last Saturday supported by over 280 members of the community. Guest speakers Les and Noel ‘Crusher’ Cleal entertained the crowd with colourful behind the scenes stories from their illustrious playing careers in Australia and England. Noel and Les Cleal played for the Sawtell Panthers in 1978 where they took the club from bottom of the ladder to the Clayton Cup before embarking on NRL careers at the Sydney Roosters. Noel Cleal went on to join the Manly Sea Eagles in 1983 where he played for NSW in 13 State of Origin matches and won ten international caps for Australia. 6’7 prop forward Matt Parsons joined Men Of League club president Peter Barrett on the couch for a Q & A session where he shared the feeling of winning a grand final and Provider #PR-40000780
Local Community News ~ Proudly Independent
took questions from the audience. The Men of League Foundation was formed 15 years ago to help footballers and retired footballers who need help as Peter Barrett explained. “It was a fantastic day and a huge thank you to the community for supporting this event, we have raised over $15k so far and are still counting. “We founded the charity in 2006 because we all believed it was a great cause to help people who needed it. “We support the football community from Macksville to Grafton helping with anything from mowing lawns to hospital visits. “It was great to see Coffs Harbour out enjoying themselves and it wasn’t just footballers, it was everyone enjoying the event and the racecourse is a fantastic venue. “I would like to thank everyone who supports the foundation and encourage anyone to come and help us and join us,” said Peter.
