FOUR men have been charged following a pursuit which came to a dramatic end at Moonee Beach. Around 8am on Tuesday 5 December 2023, officers from the Mid North Coast Highway Patrol were patrolling on the Pacific Highway at Kundabung, when they observed a silver BMW X3 travelling at alleged speed of 146km/h in a 110km/h zone. A pursuit was initiated after the vehicle failed to stop, however was terminated due to safety issues. Four men were later allegedly seen abandoning the BMW in Frederickton before they all left in a Toyota Hilux. Around 12pm that same day, a Toyota Hilux was sighted on the Pacific Highway, Coffs Harbour, where police engaged in

a pursuit and successfully deployed road spikes. The vehicle came to a stop at Moonee Beach with police arresting three men, aged 28, 38 and 40, and a 28-year-old woman. During a search of the Hilux, the men and the woman, police seized a firearm, ammunition, knuckle dusters, flick knife, cocaine, methylamphetamine, a sum of cash, allegedly stolen fishing gear, and the registration plates from the BMW X3. The men and woman were taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station and charged with multiple offences. They were all refused bail and appeared before Coffs Harbour Local Court on Wednesday 6 December 2023, where they were all formally refused bail.

the DIAAC in May 2021, frustrated by its slow-moving processes, Coffs Harbour’s Hank Duchateau has been monitoring the committee’s progress since he left. According to Hank, there hasn’t been any. He then wrote to CoCH to express his concerns, receiving the following reply from Council staff. “The City’s Disability Inclusion and Access Advisory Committee is active, however there have not been any recent committee meetings. “It is anticipated a future meeting will be held in 2024.” The last recorded meeting was held on October 22 last year (2022), with a date then set for a meeting on Friday 9 December 2022 which never took place. Hank, who has lived with a disability since an injury in 1993, was a member of the committee for over 20 years. “We met monthly for all those years,” he said. “I even got a 20-year pin and recognition certificate from them.” He is frustrated by the lack of interest he believes is currently being shown by CoCH in operating an active DIAAC and improving access

and inclusion for people with disability. “My injury is not what makes me disabled. “It is society that disables me because of my injury,” Hank told News Of The Area. “To me the few wins, (for example) at C.ex Stadium, the purchase of beach mats and beach wheelchairs, and inclusive changing rooms at the beaches and sports grounds, were gained by the Committee having to work hard at many meetings. “We should not have had to push so hard at all. “In 2021 we should have been a redundant committee - not needed anymore. “20 years and a few wins does not make an equal society for people with a disability.” Hank said the slow progress on improving accessibility and inclusion in society is simply “not acceptable”. “We have seen Governments at all levels change things in a single day because of Covid, a small virus, but people with disabilities must be patient for change. “There was even a Royal Commission into abuse and neglect of people with a disability. “In 2021, that should not

be a problem, but still is,” he stated. “From 1993 to now, my main focus was to have a life as close as possible to before my injuries. “But I have found many barriers placed in front of me, by indifference and attitudes, by physical barriers, by snide remarks and lack of respect to me as an individual. “These are still prevalent, and I am constantly reminded of them on a regular basis.” Today, focusing on his ambassador roles and his School Mentor and Adaptive Sport programs, Hank is urging CoCH to up the ante on catering to and for people living with disability. “At least make sure the DIAAC is operating with engaged committee members and regular meetings starting early in 2024,” he said. When approached for comment, a City of Coffs Harbour spokesperson told NOTA, “It is anticipated the next meeting of the City’s Disability Inclusion and Access Advisory Committee will be held in 2024. “Anyone wishing to liaise or consult with the City is encouraged to get in touch via phone, email or in person, to be directed to the most relevant business area for assistance.”

THE renovated amenities block used by the Coffs Coast Jump Club (CCJC) is the new home for an extraordinary mural painted by Bowravillebased artist Nelli Gallop. News Of The Area met up with the Coffs Coast Jump Club’s Ali Childs on Tuesday 5 December to witness Nelli delivering her finished artwork to the amenities block. As the mural was brought out panel by panel from Nelli’s vehicle, to stand all four linedup and leaning temporarily on the building’s exterior wall, Ali’s smile was beaming. “There’s so much in it, it’s just incredible,” she said. “More amazing than I could have imagined.” Resplendent in the blue of the ocean and sky, a whale and her calf are central to the scene.

“The whale has been channelling a really beautiful energy, giving me a feeling of really grounded contentment every time I look into her eye,” mural artist Nelli told News Of The Area. In the bush calendar there is a connection between the migration and calving of whales and the flowering and seeding of the wattle.

“When it (the wattle) is flowering the whales are going up the coast (north) and when it’s seeding they’re coming back. “It’s more exciting when it’s flowering so I’ve left it that way,” said Nelli. “The ocean, for the Gumbaynggirr people, is their totem. “How could I do a mural in

Coffs Harbour and not feature an ocean?” Explaining some of the symbolism within her work, Nelli points out a detail to the left of the mural. “The journey coming over Split Solitary with the lighthouse and the Seven Sisters above hold a significance as told in the

Seven Sisters story.” There's also coastal banksia and stingrays, and on the far right of the mural there’s a magpie - each element telling a story. “The magpie has a shadow side about being true to your face and not talking about people behind their back,” Nelli said.

Coffs/Clarence Police District commenced inquiries and launched a state-wide Amber Alert appeal to locate the child. Following on-going

appeals for assistance, the boy was found about 11.30pm, almost 300km away in Tenterfield. A 37-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman were arrested. They were both taken to Tenterfield Police Station

Two charged after child allegedly abducted from Coffs Harbour A MAN and a woman have been charged with the alleged abduction of a twoyear-old from Coffs Harbour last week. A state-wide Amber Alert

was initiated late last Friday, 8 December after a woman was allegedly assaulted and a two-year-old boy abducted outside an office at Coffs Harbour about 2pm.

Triple Zero (000) received multiple calls from members of the public who witnessed the incident and attempted to intervene. Officers attached to

EPA inspects North Coast farms for pesticide practices THE NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is undertaking a series of pesticide compliance campaigns in the North Coast region throughout summer to ensure farmers are complying with environmental laws. EPA Director of Operations Steve Orr said EPA officers will be inspecting intensive horticultural farms in the Woolgoolga region near Coffs Harbour and further

north near Ballina to check for appropriate pesticide use, storage, record-keeping and wastewater management. “Our inspections coincide with the summer growing season to ensure that cropgrowers are always using pesticides responsibly to protect the environment and local waterways,” Mr Orr said. “This campaign is building on previous work done with the intensive

horticulture industry to reduce the potential impacts of pesticides from these activities. “Since 2021, we have carried out more than 40 inspections of horticultural farms in the Woolgoolga region, resulting in fifteen penalty notices, seven official cautions, eight formal warnings and fourteen advisory letters issued for a range of water pollution and

pesticide offences. “We are following up with some of those farms we had previously visited to ensure that operators have taken adequate steps to improve their practices. “This includes requirements for some growers to upgrade their wastewater capture and irrigation systems as well as their pesticide storage areas. “We are also using intelligence to identify farms that we have not previously visited, so that a wider range

of growers are reminded of their obligations under the Pesticides Act. “We will continue to work closely with councils, industry and grower associations to increase awareness of pesticide regulations and how to spray safely this summer.” EPA officers will provide resources and hear from local farmers about their pesticide use, as well as checking pesticide storage areas, water management and recordkeeping practices. For more information

“For me, this mural called for the magpie, I never normally choose it.” The inclusion of a scarlet honeyeater, a threatened species, is a hallmark of Nelli’s work. “I like to include one threatened species to acknowledge that we need to take care of Country.”

and charged for offences relating to the alleged abduction and breach of bail. The pair, who are both from Tenterfield, were refused bail to appear in Tamworth Local Court on Saturday 9 December 2023.

Councillors push for end of native forest logging A GROUP of local government councillors from the Mid North Coast met recently with NSW Environment Minister Penny Sharpe on an online video conference to voice their concerns on native forest logging. Minister Sharpe agreed to meet with the group of seventeen councillors after they co-signed a letter to the NSW Government in October calling for an end to native forest logging. That original letter was co-signed by Cr Dominic King, Cr Jennie Fenton, Cr Ellie Tree and Cr Jo Brotherton (Bellingen Shire Council), Cr David Jones, Cr Susan Jenvey and Cr Ricky Buchanan (Nambucca Shire Council), Cr Jonathan Cassell, Cr Sally Townley and Cr Tony Judge (Coffs Harbour City Council), Cr Arthur Bain, Cr Alexandra Wyatt and Leo Hauville (Kempsey Shire Council), Cr Lauren Edwards and Cr Lisa Intemann (Port Macquarie Hastings Council), Cr Greg Clancy (Clarence Valley Council) and Cr Dheera Smith (MidCoast Council).

“Councillors and communities across NSW are concerned about what is happening in the native forests that surround their region,” group facilitator Cr Dominic King said. “We actively engaged with Minister Sharpe over a range of incredibly serious matters of concern such as worsening fire conditions, water scarcity, mixed forest clear-felling, risks to threatened species and postlogging forest restoration and weed management.” Several councillors had a chance to ask questions directly to the Minister. “I started by asking about NSW ending native forest logging in line with Western Australia and Victoria,” Cr King said. “The Minister responded by saying this wasn’t on the table but understood my concerns. “Cr Arthur Bain (Kempsey Shire Council) asked about the scientific finding that forest logging makes bushfires worse by drying out the soil and leaving forest residues on the ground

increasing fuel for fires as presented by Professor David Lindenmayer from the Australian National University. “Cr Jennie Fenton (Bellingen Shire Council) asked a very important question about water security and the role forests play in making sure towns such as Bellingen have access to safe and secure water for their communities. “Cr Alexandra Wyatt (Kempsey Shire Council) raised the issue of forest restoration post-logging and the significant impacts that occur with weeds or bellminer associated dieback taking over entire forests. “And finally, Cr Jonathan Cassell (City of Coffs Harbour) pressed the Minister to supply the scientific evidence that justifies mixed forest plantation logging that is on track to destroy Pine Creek State Forest, which is regarded as the most significant State Forest for the conservation of koalas in the Coffs Harbour LGA. “While we didn’t receive

Councillors on the call with Minister Sharpe included Cr King, Cr Hauville, Cr Cassell, Cr Fenton, Cr Bain, Cr Wyatt, Cr Intemann, Cr Clancy, Cr Smith and Cr Edwards.

A future meeting with the Minister has been requested for early 2024. While the original letter was co-signed by the seventeen councillors listed above, its contents did not necessarily reflect the views of the councils of which they are a part. In a November Council meeting, Nambucca Valley

Mayor Rhonda Hoban stated that the letter represented the private actions of individual Nambucca Valley Councillors David Jones, Susan Jenvey and Ricky Buchanan and was not an “adopted” position of the Council. Environment Minister Penny Sharpe has been contacted for comment.

Free diary for seniors By Andrea FERRARI

A FREE 2024 Legal Aid diary for seniors is now available from the office of Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh while stocks last. Helpful information about rights and regulations are included in the diary, including succinct tips on avoiding scams, negotiating neighbour disputes, making a will and elder abuse. Mr Singh encourages seniors to pop in to his

office and collect their diary and have a browse of the useful guide sections. “I’m thrilled that seniors across the Coffs Coast can now pick up a free 2024 Legal Aid NSW diary from my electorate office at 1/9 Park Avenue, Coffs Harbour,” said Mr Singh, Shadow Minister for Tourism, Emergency Services and the North Coast. “This helpful diary provides practical tips and information about common issues impacting seniors,

and I encourage them to collect a diary while stocks last. “The information in the diary helps seniors to understand their rights, and details where they can access advice and support. “The diary provides simple yet effective tips to help seniors stay up to date, speaking directly to them with topics and information to help them know when to take action on certain matters, or even act as a prompt to make sure their affairs are in order.”

Taskforce established to tackle emergency department wait times THE State Government will establish a new taskforce to tackle emergency department (ED) wait times. The ED TTaskforce will comprise health workers and NSW Health officials from across the state’s various local health districts and specialty networks, including from regional communities. It will be tasked with identifying and implementing efficiencies, including initiatives to reduce unnecessary

presentations, address bed block and improve patient flow, safely discharge patients more quickly, improve the experience of patients and staff in the ED, and move patients to parts of the system with more capacity where clinically appropriate. Minister for Health Ryan Park has instructed NSW Health to draft terms of reference, appoint membership of the taskforce and set a first meeting date. The announcement

comes after the release of two Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) reports and the latest Bureau of Health Information (BHI) quarterly results. The two AIHW reports show that over 2022-23, NSW reported the highest number of ED presentations of any state or territory in Australia (three million). The latest BHI data for the September quarter shows a record number of triage 2 category

(emergency) presentations (118,772), and a 61 percent reduction in the number of overdue surgeries compared to September 2022. A significant factor in the record demand on hospitals is the proportion of cases that could be treated in primary or aged care settings. Almost half of all presentations to EDs were either category 4 (e.g. sprained ankle, earache) or category 5 (e.g. small cuts or abrasions). A further BHI report on patient experiences in

small rural hospitals shows that 45 percent of patients felt they could have been treated by a GP or other health professional. This will remain a focus of the ED Taskforce. “This Emergency Department Taskforce is the latest initiative in our suite of measures to improve wait times and access to care, including supporting and boosting our workforce; and embracing innovating initiatives to divert pressure from our hospitals,” Minister for Health Ryan Park said. “Patients just want to receive the care they need

and deserve in a timely manner. “Having people and their loved ones waiting around in our hospitals for lengthy periods of time is neither good for them, nor our staff, nor other patients. “I’ve made it a ministerial priority of mine that where we can safely improve access to care and treatment – including timeliness – we will do it. “I’m proud of our healthcare workers across NSW who have faced serious challenges over the past couple of years but continue to show professionalism amidst record presentations and demand on our health system.”

Workshops help regional water services get disaster-ready By Andrea FERRARI

IN PREPARATION for managing water emergencies, City of Coffs Harbour Local Water Utilities staff recently attended a Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) funded workshop. 35 participants from ten regional councils were tutored through scenarios that armed them with experience of potential emergencies, leaving them better prepared to safeguard water and sewerage services during floods, droughts and bushfires. “We had a very positive response from participants,”

Ashraf El-Sherbini, Chief Operating Officer – Water, DPE told News Of The Area. The workshops are the result of surveying relevant council staff. “Through our Water Engagement Town Water Risk Reduction Program we asked local water utilities where we could help. “These are the staff on the front line making sure people get their clean water and their wastewater service and are critical to the emergency response. “They asked for workshops to expand their toolkit to be able to respond to the range of challenges we’re seeing today whether

Markets to flourish with festive offerings By Andrea FERRARI CHRISTMAS will be woven into the familiar fabric of the Bellingen Community Markets on Saturday 16 December. Set amongst the majestic old trees in Bellingen Park, the Markets boast an expansive and diverse range of 250 stalls, with additional artisans attending. “You can get everything from fresh fruit and vegetables, flowers, plants, homemade delicacies such as condiments, jams, cheeses, honey, breads, meats and oysters, beautiful handmade

creations, art of all kinds, wood, metal and leather work, pottery, clothing, hats, shoes, socks, toys, jewellery, and dog supplies,” market organiser Kaz Selbie told News Of The Area. “There are skin and body care stalls including massage, reiki, tarot, numerology, crystals, unique bric-a-brac, vintage and second hand stalls. “You name it, Bellingen Markets has it.” Accommodating the high demand for second hand stalls, and keen to give everyone a fair go, the market is utilising the skate-ramp

area, where stalls will be set up under the shade of the trees. A vast array of delicious and healthy multicultural food, drinks and coffee will be available throughout the market. Music starts at 10am with Geoff and Xanthe Littlemore, a brother and sister pair who grew up playing music together. “The duo sing and play guitar, bouncing off each other’s voices and guitar licks with a special bond that family share.” Geoff’s influences include Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi

Hendrix and Buddy Guy. He has performed at concerts with luminaries such as John English, John Mayall and Canned Heat, and has toured with many bands around the East Coast of Australia. Xanthe has appeared at concerts with Bob Dylan, Tommy Emmanuel and Paul Kelly, and gigged around Australia, USA and Europe. Community group OzGreen has partnered with the markets, with members on hand to welcome everyone through the gates. “We ask patrons to give where they can to help support their valuable youth projects,” said Kaz. OzGreen is on a mission to create sustainable communities by delivering

programs, events and resources to increase wellbeing. They do this by employing and mentoring regional youth to help deliver youth wellbeing camps and clubs, waste reduction at major events, tree planting projects, nature connection, bushwalks, bird walks, kayak tours, sustainability skills workshops, and citizen science. “OzGreen will also have an eco-Christmas wrapping stall on the west side of the oval, showing the simplicity and beauty of sustainable wrapping.” Wandering through the market will be Christmas fairies sharing the joy and magic.

There will be a large box near the 'info hub' where visitors and stallholders can donate a gift to a person in need from the Bellingen Shire, with thanks to the wonderful Bellingen Neighbourhood Centre. The Bellingen Community Markets is an inclusive event celebrating diversity, culture, community and, this month, Christmas. “We’re on a mission to support local, continue to give profits back to the community, and share good things with the wider community,” said Kaz.

Coffs Harbour businessman keeps Christmas spirit alive for local families KEEPING the Christmas spirit alive for kids from struggling families is an ongoing joy and commitment for local businessman Andrew MacLeod and the team from MacLeod’s Furniture Court and Beds R Us. Once again this year Andrew has provided $5000 worth of gift cards for distribution through Vinnies in Coffs Harbour, Woolgoolga and Grafton. “Some years ago, I was made aware of the challenging conditions the local members of St Vincent de Paul Society were faced with trying to put together Christmas hampers for local families. “Christmas is supposed to be a special time for kids, so for several years now we have supported local Vinnies with gift cards. “We are very happy to support organisations like St Vincent de Paul,” said Andrew.

q Andrew MacLeod (centre) from MacLeod’s Furniture Court and Beds R Us donating gift cards to local Vinnies members (from left) David Tarrant, Leon Walsh, Yvonne Wynen and Robin Harbidge.

Local Vinnies members will soon be distributing hampers to invited families in the area, aware that households are feeling the intense pressure of the rising costs of living. “Hundreds of families in our region are experiencing immense hardship, and this has been exacerbated by rising rents and increased food costs,” said Yvonne Wynen from the St Vincent de Paul Society in Coffs Harbour. “Many are unsure how they’ll be able to feed their families, let alone find presents for their children this Christmas. “That pain just intensifies at Christmas time and business owners like Andrew MacLeod are to be commended for their generosity. “These gift cards will make quite a difference to many families we assist.”

By Andrea FERRARI

THE interactive Fire to Flourish Placemaking exhibition went on show at the Glenreagh markets on Saturday 2 December. The aim of the exhibition was to share ideas and spark conversations around placemaking in Glenreagh and the Orara Valley. Project ideas were developed by Masters students in the Department of Architecture at Monash University through ongoing engagement with community members

and the Fire to Flourish Clarence Valley team, during a placemaking workshop and surveys in the Orara Valley taken since August 2023. Placemaking ideas included a hall upgrade in Glenreagh to accommodate better food security for locals day-to-day and during crises, and a community bus stop for youth safety and engagement. Other ideas included reviving the old rail trail and underutilised stations, and multi-purpose horse stables for the recreation grounds. Many locals were excited about the different designs and plans presented. All of the ideas, while centring on Glenreagh, have the capacity to be adapted across the Valley so that a strong network of places and spaces can better support locals through different times. The exhibition was an opportunity for residents of the Orara Valley to provide feedback on these designs. People were also keen to share other important community projects in public spaces that weren't in the students' designs. Fire to Flourish welcomes applications proposing additional placemaking ideas, and community members will be asked to vote on a shortlist of projects in March 2024. Orara Valley residents are also being asked to decide on how they want to vote on the ideas. Go to the Fire to Flourish Clarence Valley Facebook page to ‘have your say’ and for more info on how to get involved.

Free radio broadcast training on offer By Andrea FERRARI

HANDS-ON broadcast training from long-time industry professionals is on offer at 104.1 CHYFM this coming January. 104.1 CHYFM is seeking thirteen to 25-year-olds with a genuine interest in radio broadcasting to sign up for the January five-day On-Air Presenter Workshop. The five-day course covers a range of practical and theoretical topics including voice, creating content, interviewing techniques, studio operations, program development and production. The training at 104.1 CHYFM has been developed

with young people in mind, is industry-based, interactive, and most of all, fun. After the training, the 104.1 CHYFM team continues to mentor and support participants in their journey from students to confident onair presenters and a regular broadcast shift. 104.1 CHYFM Station Manager Angie Vaughan told News Of The Area, “One of the best things about community radio is it’s a great place to learn skills that transverse many areas of your life. “Our workshop builds confidence, enhances communication skills and grows community connections.

“You never know what exciting experiences and opportunities it can lead to. “Many of our previous students met with someone in their workshop and went on to form fabulous on-air partnerships. “Having a voice in your community is very powerful – especially youth voices – sharing stories, passions, hobbies, experiences, connecting with the community, and it’s a great way to create positive change.” With 104.1 CHYFM celebrating 50 years of youth broadcasting, the team is offering ten young people the chance to take this five-day workshop – usually $250.00 - for free. “Only those genuinely

Charity Golf Day raises $10,000 for Cancer Council

q Hoys and Carfinders raised $10,000 on their Charity Golf Day. Photo: supplied by Rob Hoy.

By Andrew VIVIAN HOYS Allied Health and Wellness and Carfinders recently held their ninth annual Charity Golf Day at the Coffs Harbour Golf Club in support of the ShitBox Rally. The Rally is a dedicated fundraising event for cancer research, with funds going to Cancer Council Australia. 31 teams played a fourperson Ambrose event in hot, sunny weather on a course described as “in immaculate condition”. An extensive variety of prizes and auction and raffle items were up for

grabs for the 124 players, all generously donated with the support of local businesses and players on the day. The day raised more than $10,000 for a great cause and, over the last nine years, almost $100,000 has been raised from the Charity Golf Days for worthwhile causes. The Hoys Allied Health and Carfinders staff not only had a lot of fun on the day but loved the chance to help give something back to a great cause. “A big shout out to all our volunteers who help make sure this event runs so much smoother and helps us raise

more funds,” Rob Hoy said. “They are the real MVP's!” He also thanked Paul McAra, Kylie Butcher and the administration and greenkeeping team at Coffs Harbour Golf Club for making the day run smoothly and for their behind-the-scenes support. The 2024 event is still yet to be locked in, and Mr Hoy urges people to keep their eyes peeled for details. He also said that, despite having a fabulous day, unfortunately the Hoys golfers finally, disappointingly lost to the Carfinders team.

New COVID vaccine available in pharmacies THE new COVID-19 vaccine to target the current Omicron variant of the virus will be available in community pharmacies throughout Australia from this week. The category of vaccines known as XBB 1.5 was approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in October and can be used as a primary vaccination dosage as well as booster dosages. The Pharmacy Guild of Australia’s National President, Professor Trent Twomey, said the new vaccine will be more

targeted at the virus which is currently circulating among the population. “With COVID-19 cases on the rise, it is important that anyone who is due for their vaccination does so as soon as they can at their local community pharmacy,” Professor Twomey said. “Health authorities have recommended that vaccines move away from formulations which target the original or ancestral strain.” Professor Twomey said that the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI)

is not recommending those who are not due for their vaccination to get an additional booster because of the arrival of the new vaccine. “The advice remains that you must wait six months from your last jab to get your next booster shot and older vaccinations still provide protection against the severest of symptoms,” he said. The vaccines available are being manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna. Pfizer has two formulations with one for patients aged five and over and less than twelve, and one for patients aged twelve and over. The Moderna vaccine is for patients aged twelve and over. Professor Twomey said Australia’s community pharmacies delivered during the pandemic and continue to deliver for patients today. "We’ve administered more than eleven million vaccinations since the pandemic, so my advice is if you need a vaccination, think pharmacy first,” he said.

Santa to surprise at Christmas Parade q The Harbourside Markets team is getting ready to welcome one and all to Santa’s Parade on Christmas Eve.

Small gifts and prizes will be awarded to all children who join Santa’s parade. The best-dressed will also win a prize. If you are involved in a community organisation, not-for-profit or sporting group you can get in touch with Kim to be involved in Santa's Christmas parade and the market space. “Any organisation that wants to participate in the parade behind Santa’s float can dress up and join in. “They can then set up a stall afterwards, free of charge, to promote their work and attract people to join them. “All are welcome to come to the parade,” she said. “People love to watch, clap and cheer and all to the sound of the bagpipes and drums.”

There will be photo opportunities with Santa and music with crowd favourite ‘The Big Big Boogie Band’. “We also have a creative space for you to write your Christmas wish letters and colour in a Christmas card. “Letters will be posted in the North Pole letterbox at the market and taken home to Santa’s workshop by the big man himself,” said Kim. “We provide these double-ended pencils for people to do their artwork which they can take away afterwards, and we’ve got a few other giveaways, including some little books.” The aim is to bring a beautiful, fun atmosphere to the markets, and a little bit of lightness to a year that has held a lot of challenges. “To find little moments of joy, not to dismiss the

challenges everybody’s had, but let’s just be glad that we have each other,” said Kim. “Especially for little kids who get so excited at this time of year, for us all to see that and enjoy it for what it is.” Organisations seeking to participate in the parade or take a free stall to recruit volunteers or promote their fundraising can get in touch with Kim on 0407661990 or visit www. harboursidemarkets.com. au. Stalls at Harbourside Markets will also have a seasonal theme. “Meet local artisanal producers, makers and growers; share some food and enjoy the music and chilled out vibe.” The markets run from 8am to 2pm at Jetty Foreshores every Sunday.

Don’t choke on the bone HELEN and her husband separate and they divide their assets amicably. Consent Orders are filed with the effect that Helen receives a substantial lump sum and her husband retains the matrimonial home. Twelve months after separation, an Application for divorce is filed and granted. In light of the divorce, Helen is aware that her ex-husband will not receive anything from her estate when she passes-away and she is happy that her two children will receive the whole of her estate “on intestacy”. She sees no reason to make a new will. Two years later, Helen consults a solicitor in relation to the preparation of a “pre-nup”. She informs her solicitor that she has been cohabitating with her de facto partner for the past two years. She is worried that her new partner may make a claim on “her money” if they split-up. Helen is advised that a “pre-nup” is a particular type of Binding Financial Agreement (BFA) which allows the parties to make arrangements between themselves in relation to the division of their assets if their relationship breaks-down. The agreement is only binding if each party obtains their own legal advice in relation to the terms of the agreement. Helen is also advised, to her surprise, that due to her relationship with her partner exceeding two years, that without a will, most of Helen’s estate would be distributed to her new partner and that her two children would almost miss-out entirely. Helen gives her solicitor instructions to prepare a new will, appointing her adult children as her executors and leaving each of them half of her estate. She also wishes to appoint them as her joint attorneys pursuant to an enduring power of attorney as well as her enduring guardians to make health related decisions on her behalf if necessary. Helen puts all of these items on the agenda for discussion at the upcoming family Christmas Turkey lunch.

We must protect creeks from pollution DEAR News Of The Area,

WHILE I respect the scientific findings of Boambee Creek and Newport Creek, nobody has stated where the pollution of the creeks is coming from. Did anyone mention the huge sea grass area in Boambee Creek west towards the highway and Sawtell Road? This is a main breeding ground for fish species of the area - has anyone checked this lately? A kayak at high tide can take you into and through the many mangroves. What I found is very disturbing, more behind the University, full of waste rubbish. As you know Newport Creek is always very cloudy until it reaches the Boambee junction and clears with the tides. Upper Newport Creek goes right up to the highway beside the Hospital entrance. The other arm goes right near the motocross track. With humans building and changing the roads and everything, the Creeks are

going to get worse and worse. What about the drains that run into these creeks? Do they get checked or modified to protect these valuable places for fishing and recreation? They won't look after themselves will they! I think the Council should have a hard look at themselves if they want tourists and locals to enjoy the waterways. What about the new ring road? That will add a lot of pollution to the creek systems. You can throw out all the science you want, but unless you go to the source of pollution it's just all "hot air". I really love these creeks and it saddens me deeply that they will never be the same again. Regards, Leigh HARVEY, Coffs Harbour, Member of Kayak Fishing Down Under.

Clearing the mud on water and seeing the forest for the trees DEAR News Of The Area,

WHAT a load of guff! (‘Water issues too important to be politicised’ Opinion, 1 December Edition). Dave Wood again attempts to distort the actuality regarding environment and politics in his letter to NOTA. His claim that water rights are too important to be politicised is contradictory and absurd. The environment has become the most globally politicised issue of the 21st century and the likes of Wood continue to drive their left-wing political agenda by perpetuating a victimhood status whenever anybody exposes the ignorance in their argument.

Dear Harry, I’M not sure if you are seeking my help here or merely stating a fact. There could be a reason you are always frisked by guards and sniffed by German shepherds. You look guilty and now you feel guilty which makes your dilemma a self-fulfilling prophecy. I have this problem because I’m a nervous flier. I’m so nervous that I drop my bag and passport when I’m trying to check in, I sweat as though I’m a drug mule, and I have nervous mannerisms such as running and screaming ‘it’s too windy; the plane is going to crash’ which doesn’t endear me to flight staff or fellow passengers. Try to be super organised before your flight, which will help to relax you. Also try to allow enough time for a few beverages or perhaps sniff some calming lavender, which will do very little to help, but at least you’ll smell nice.

Research and development in the field of agronomy is drought proofing farms by ‘slowing the flow’ of water and directing carbon back into the soil both through cropping and livestock practices. The forests and waterways will benefit through rational management and provide prosperity not just to the wildlife but to the community. The wash of nonsense being projected from radical urban based environmentalists with no experience or education in agriculture or forestry is shameful. The regressive actions of Labor and its cohorts in shutting down industries and jobs on a platform of emotionally charged rhetoric is setting a course for economic disaster.

We all have ‘skin in the game’ DEAR News Of The Area,

WITH regard to the recent discussion regarding the native hardwood timber industry, can I suggest that every living organism on the planet has ‘skin in the game’ when it comes to our native forests. In an ideal world we would all be able to afford native hardwood flooring and decking, instead of the inferior, imported, fire prone, petroleum based alternatives. The issue is ‘existential’, but not only for the current industry, workers and their families. Where are the future native hardwood plantations? In regard to the historic management of

our public forests I refer to the record provided by E.H.F. Swain and his 1912 ‘Forests of the Bellinger River’ report, in which he described the original pre-colonial forests and lamented the wastage. Extractive industries such as forestry and mining typically rely on an application of science which is primarily concerned with enabling and sustaining operations where impacts are often viewed as ‘collateral’ and come under a ‘monitoring’ regime. Sadly, preservation of biodiversity has always been secondary to the main game, and it shows. A walk through our oldest local managed State Forests such as Pine Creek, gazetted

early last century, shows clear evidence of historic degradation. Lowland rainforest has long been obliterated or compromised. A conversion regime favouring commercial species is also evident, as is deliberate wastage of non-commercial species (allowed under a TSI – timber stand improvement regime) and an even more alarming invasive weed load.

What has happened to our area? DEAR News Of The Area,

I WOULD like to ask what has happened to the Coffs Coast. Have you had a good look lately? Roundabouts are an absolute disgrace. Driving into Coffs from the south the roundabout at England’s Road and Stadium Drive is completely full of weeds and rubbish – this is the gateway to our city. Drive further along the road into Coffs and again the median strips are full of

weeds and rubbish – is this how we showcase our city? The three roundabout’s on Hogbin Drive are exactly the same, full of weeds and rubbish. Once they were beautiful, full of flowers and colour, neatly kept and an absolute pleasure to look at. It has been a long time since we saw any council activity in this area. Travelling north to Grafton the median strip near the resorts are also a disgrace. In Sawtell the footpaths in the village are a trip hazard, the Mayor, after a

meeting with concerned business owners and residents called them eclectic (which I believe means mixed, dissimilar, or a stand out feature) as a Sawtell local we just called them simply unacceptable. The Mayor mentioned that the chances of any work being done in Sawtell is about three to five years away. The walk to the headland along Boronia Street, which would have to be the most popular trek daily for many people is uneven and very dangerous, with lots of yellow paint and at night you walk on the road because the lighting is

shopping centre must go”. In regard to Forestry Corporation’s reliance on the koala work of Dr Brad Law, can I simply suggest that a bellowing male koala, while indicative of presence, does not make a viable resident population. Alarmingly his work is currently being used to justify large clear-felling operations. A comprehensive ‘must read’ 2023 review of Law’s work by Andrew Smith and John Pile can be found here: https:// assets.nationbuilder.com/ncec/pages/40/ attachments/original/1701591755/ Smith_A.P._and_Pile_J._2023_PineCreek_ Koala_Report.Final.pdf?1701591755 Regards, Dave WOOD, Boambee East. so bad. On a recent trip to Grafton I was delighted to see only one empty shop (Coffs has many in Harbour Drive) and they have spent some money beautifying the city centre with lovely planter boxes, it really looked fantastic and gave the whole city a very colourful and welcoming feeling. I wish our council could see the exquisiteness in our lovely area and spend some money beautifying it! Regards, Julia ATKINSON, Sawtell.

Christmas flicks to avoid By Lindsay HALL THE lights are strung across the front of the house, the elf is back on the shelf and a synthetic pine tree has been placed in the living room and covered with tinsel and baubles. It can only mean one thing: 'tis the season… for Christmas movies! Like many families, mine enjoys the annual tradition of working our way through our set list of Christmas films once December has arrived - in our house Christmas begins once we’re watching A Muppet Christmas Carol. As an act of community service, we at News Of The Area would like to offer some small guidance for families who may be looking to embrace new titles in their Christmas cinema. We start this week by saving you all some pain by pointing out a few Christmas movies on which you should definitely not waste your precious family time. The Christmas Tree (1991) directed by Flamerion Ferreir. There exists a beautiful tradition of animated Christmas specials that have engaged families for generations. Frosty the Snowman was a 1969 feature that continues to introduce children to the magic of Christmas by the titular winter character and his remarkable top hat. Rankin-Bass, the studio behind that special, was responsible for a wealth of holiday treasures, notably their stopmotion specials such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and they even won over conservative Christian households with The Little Drummer Boy. The makers of this particular animated feature want you to expect that it will be just like those classics. A cynical person might suggest The Christmas Tree is a poorly produced attempt to capitalise on the nostalgia people feel for Christmas-themed animation.

Friday, 15 December 2023

Featuring the voices of nobody you have ever heard of, the 43 minute feature was produced and directed by a background artist who had worked in television for over a decade before attempting to chart his own course. The story concerns a group of children living at an orphanage run by a heartless and irresponsible director who continually gambles away money raised for their care. When the Kindle family arrives in town they become involved with the orphans efforts to protect what they believe is a magical pine tree. Capers ensue; Santa Claus shows up; at one point the elderly orphanage director attacks the tree with a chainsaw. The characters are uniformly expressionless throughout the entire feature which matches the vocal performances and script. The Christmas Tree has re-emerged on various media and streaming in recent years following the trend of “so-bad-itsgood” movie viewing, and could appeal to parents or grandparents looking for inoffensive entertainment for their young children, but it would be a mistake to think of it either way. It’s not the enjoyable kind of bad, but it’s the kind that makes kids complain loudly… and isn’t that the one thing we’re all trying to avoid during Christmas? Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964) - directed by Nicolas Webster; starring… again, a bunch of people you have never heard of. The title of this one alone is enough to inspire only one of two reactions: a roll of the eyes and contemptuous sigh so extreme that no one would ever mention it again, or an obsessive fascination that anyone would ever think to put such fantastic concepts into one film. Another entry in the “so-bad-its-good” genre of movies, some families might think, upon hearing of this, that it must be

q Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964). good for a laugh at least once. The central concept is that children on Mars are no longer able to cope with the extreme pressures placed upon them by society and the logical solution is for Martians to kidnap Santa Claus and force him to teach them how to have fun. That sentence makes it sound like the film is a comedy full of wacky hijinks, but reading it is the closest you will ever get to a laugh from the movie. Another production made to fill a perceived “gap in the market” (for “yuletide science-fiction fantasy”!) Santa Claus Conquers the Martians was made in two weeks by a video producer who figured he could use his gear for making corporate training and education videos to film something costing the loose change in his pockets that he could

almost guarantee children in the mid 1960’s would pay to see at the cinema. Playing this for children in the modern era will cause them to lose trust that parents and caregivers could have any notion of what could be fun and entertaining. Watching it as a family may bring a conclusive end to moviewatching as a Christmas tradition, which would be a real tragedy. If that were to happen you’d never have the opportunity to watch the true gems of mid 20th Century Christmas films, such as the Spanish Santa Claus of 1959 in which Santa lives in space and fights Satan. Now that is a premise worth at least one viewing.

lovely historic location, joining in the advent celebration. “There will again be a mix of volunteering professional and experienced musicians and a small choir coming together from our community, but most importantly joining with all those gathered to make the evening a success,” he said. Song books and electric candles will be available on the night. A donation is appreciated, which will go to the Boambee Rural Fire Brigade. Fire and Rescue Station 441 Sawtell will be assisting Santa Claus. “As at heart this is our local community coming together, we are thrilled to be able to work at this time of year with these two worthy local groups,” said Chris.

Come from 6pm to set up your family picnic, or just arrive before Santa visits at 7.15pm, with the traditional Carol singing starting at 7:30pm. “We’ll farewell Santa with a rendition of ‘Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’, and then as you join in with the choir, we’ll move through the song book with favourites like ‘Silent Night’ and ‘Joy to the World’, and also with a distinctly Australian flavour ‘The Silver Stars are in the Sky’.” For updates, including bad weather news, keep an eye on www.facebook. com/Sawtell-Carolsby-Candlelight-29279 9531577565/ Essential parking only onsite.

THE Bonville-Boambee VIEW Club is calling on the community to help raise funds for the Smith Family’s Christmas Appeal, to ensure thousands of students experiencing disadvantage can be supported with their education in 2024. The charity aims to raise $5.3 million nationally through the appeal, which will provide more than 12,600 children access to critical learning and mentoring programs to help them stay engaged and motivated at school. This includes programs like ‘student2student’, which pairs younger students with young reading buddies, and after-school Learning Clubs, where students get support

with their homework from trained volunteers - many of which are VIEW Club members. This work is more important than ever as families face cost of living increases. All funds raised through donations to the Christmas Appeal will ensure students can take part in The Smith Family’s evidence-based numeracy, literacy, tutoring, digital and mentoring programs to help them catch up and keep up at school. VIEW (Voice, Interests, and Education of Women) is a national women’s organisation and support network, bringing together women to enjoy social activities, develop skills, and make connections- all while supporting Australian

children experiencing disadvantage. Nationally VIEW Clubs currently support more than 1700 students on the charity’s ‘Learning for Life’ program, which provides educational, personal, and financial support. Bonville-Boambee VIEW Club supports nine students in this program through its fundraising activities, such as Christmas gift wrapping at Toormina Gardens. Gift wrapping this year began on Friday, 8 December.

THE Bureau of Health Information (BHI) last week released two reports – showing activity and performance for public health services in NSW during July to September 2023, and patients’ experiences of emergency care in small rural hospitals in early 2023. BHI Chief Executive Dr Diane Watson said the July to September 2023 Healthcare Quarterly results show continued improvement for patients receiving elective or planned surgery.

“Since the same quarter one year ago, there has been a considerable decrease in the number of patients on the elective surgery waiting list and more patients receiving their surgery on time,” said Dr Watson. For example, in July to September 2023, compared with the same quarter a year earlier: • The number of elective surgeries performed was up 10.4 percent, to close to pre-pandemic levels. • 82.6 percent of all elective surgeries were performed on time – a 7.1 percentage point increase. • The number of

patients on the waiting list who had waited longer than clinically recommended decreased by 61.2 percent, to 6,937. Emergency departments (EDs) continued to see an upward trend in patients presenting with the most urgent clinical conditions, with increased numbers of triage category 1 and 2 presentations. “Despite EDs seeing larger numbers of very sick patients, 67 percent of all patients started their treatment on time – a slight improvement on the same quarter last year,” said Dr Watson.

THE new venue for Sawtell Carols by Candlelight is the Village Green at Big4 Caravan Park, with the free event taking place on the evening of Wednesday 20 December. The Carols event is again proudly presented by the Sawtell Uniting Church and friends. “The week before Christmas, Sawtell’s 162-year-old recreation reserve will be a focus for family fun, when traditional Christmas Carols are sung, children’s eyes are bright, and Christmas goodwill is shared,” Sawtell Uniting Church’s Carols team member Chris Dunkerley told News Of The Area. “It is a family friendly opportunity to enjoy a night out as a community, with family and friends in this

“However, patients spent a record amount of time in the ED, with 56.6 percent leaving within four hours – the lowest result for any quarter since BHI began reporting in 2010.” BHI has also released the latest results of the Rural Hospital Emergency Care Patient Survey 2023, which reflect the experiences of more than 5,100 people who received emergency care in one of 81 small rural public hospitals in NSW between January and March 2023. “Patients were very positive about the emergency care they received, although ratings for some important

www.newsofthearea.com.au

questions declined compared with the previous survey in 2019,” said Dr Watson. Notable results include: • Most patients (94 percent) said, overall, the care they received was ‘very good’ or ‘good’. • 67 percent of patients rated how health professionals worked together as ‘very good’. • 71 percent of patients said they were ‘definitely’ involved as much as they wanted to be in decisions about their care and treatment. Additionally, almost half of patients (45 percent)

Coffs brothers win national surfing title By Aiden BURGESS COFFS Harbour surfers Will and Luca Martin have formed a dynamic duo to win a national title. The brothers combined to win the MR Shield event at the Australian Junior Surfing Titles at Phillip Island. The MR Shield is a team event for surfers 16 years and under, with the Martin’s forming the winning twoperson Queensland team. The Coffs Harbour Boardriders Club members relocated to Queensland earlier this year to be a part of the Surfing Excellence program at Palm Beach Currumbin State High School. Coffs Harbour Boardriders Club social media coordinator Emma Dean explained what the

brothers’ national title victory meant for the club. “Having the two brothers in the MR Shield final really cements what we strive for in a club - a big focus on junior development,” she said. “The boys moved to the Gold Coast for competing reasons, but are still involved in our junior development programs. “It means that hopefully this is just the beginning of seeing our juniors recognised for their talents, as now we have a real depth of groms from eight-years-old ready to follow in Will and Luca's footsteps. “It's really encouraging for them as they can see the work needed to put in to get to this level of competing and having the Martin boys on board to encourage the other

groms is something you can't buy - it needs to happen within our club and it has. “All the hard work developing and coaching the groms (not only the Martins) has started to get us the publicity for being a very strong club with a huge focus on developing the skill sets of these juniors to be well rounded competitors in and out of the water. “We have a large group of junior boys who are just on the cusp of winning these types of events and in 2024 we will also push hard for our girls to step up as well. “We'll be doing a big recruitment drive for girls in the new year with some very exciting female pro surfers coming to visit us and work with the girls next year.” Dean also highlighted the efforts of another of the club’s juniors. “We had Carter Crowley representing us in the Under

Grassroots football projects score funding By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Coast football clubs and players have scored funding in a program designed to capture the lasting legacy of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in NSW. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said two local projects are sharing in more than $43,000 for new facilities and participation initiatives, inspiring the next generation of footballers in our community. They are the Northern Storm Football and Sports Club’s York St fields canteen ($30,000), and Rise Coffs Harbour’s Rise

Youth Wellbeing Program ($13,850). Mr Singh said the region’s football players had benefited from projects funded through the NSW Football Legacy Program. “From girls and boys lacing up their boots for the first time to participants in our elite development programs, local players and their sports clubs have benefitted from projects funded through the NSW Football Legacy Program,” he said. The Shadow Minister for Tourism, Emergency Services and the North Coast highlighted the importance of the NSW Football Legacy Program. “Sport is part of the

fabric of our community and I’m pleased this program established by the former Coalition Government is having a positive impact on local football across the Coffs Coast,” he said. “Having the World Cup

on home soil was a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity that has inspired young girls and boys to lace up the boots and emulate their football heroes. “The Football Legacy Fund, which was established

Diggers win Lachlan Dew Trophy By David WIGLEY

DIGGERS Cricket Club emerged victorious over Nana Glen, securing a commanding first innings total of 224 runs for ten wickets in their First Grade clash at Fitzroy Oval last weekend, ultimately clinching the coveted Lachlan Dew Trophy.

Coffs to again host big tournament COFFS Harbour Golf Club has been selected to once again host an event which is part of the NSW Open Golf Regional Qualifying Series. The North Coast Open to be held from August 5 to 7 is one part of a series of six $50,000 lead-up events that will attract competitors from across Australasia. In addition to the lucrative purse on offer at Coffs Harbour, three spots in the NSW Open Golf Championship are also up for grabs to the highest placegetters not already exempt into the tournament field. The Coffs Harbour Golf Club has hosted two of these events in

recent years and the club’s general manager Paul McAra said having a Regional Qualifying event return to the club is a pat on the back for the club’s members and the course which have made this tournament such a success in the past. “Being selected by Golf NSW as a host again reaffirms the Coffs Harbour Golf Club’s standing as one of the finest clubs and layouts in the state,” McAra said. Olivia Wilson, General Manager – Golf at Golf NSW, said the 2024 Regional Open Qualifying Series was ideal for aspiring professionals or elite amateurs to kick-start their

Australian Summer of Golf. “The run of events and the prize money on offer could really help a future star of our sport get to the next level,” Wilson said. “And with a guaranteed place in the NSW Open for three lucky players, there will be plenty of competitors keen to begin their summer with a win and the benefit of knowing they have locked up their spot in the NSW Open later in the year.”

CHRISTMAS WITH DELTA

NBN, 7pm

In her fourth festive extravaganza, it’s no secret that Delta Goodrem (pictured) adores Christmas. In tonight’s joyous occasion, the festivities are set to sparkle even brighter, with the much-loved singer promising “a few extra little surprises”, along with launching a heartwarming initiative called The Community of Kindness Christmas Campaign. It’s all about at inspiring small, meaningful gestures of good will during the holiday period, with Goodrem recruiting a slew of big stars to join her for the merrymaking.

Not all Bachelor episodes are the same; every fan knows this indisputable truth. When it comes to the moments that stand out – those more intoxicating and dramatic than rose ceremonies featuring tears and walk-outs or champagne-soaked soirees bubbling with declarations of love and/or heartbreak – it’s when the loosecannon relatives ﬁnally come into play. When the bachelorettes’ loved ones divert from the script and drop truth bombs, it’s the stuﬀ of gold. Tonight, in a movie-length instalment, Bachelors Ben, Luke and Wes (pictured) introduce their dates to their own families, and meet their parospective in-laws, all under one roof.

THE YEARLY WITH CHARLIE PICKERING 2023

ABC, 8.30pm

Whether you’ve been busy burying your head in the sand, or you’ve followed every news thread this year like a hawk, there’s fun and hijinks to be had for all in this biting and fun wrap-up of the year’s headlines. It’s an annual tradition for Charlie Pickering (pictured) to gather together a group of insightful and funny folks to try to make sense of the year that was and tonight’s oﬀering promises laughs and amusement galore. Let’s face it: there was a lot going on in 2023, but Pickering is here to take his pick of the most bizarre and memorable. With the help of comedy duo Roy and HG, ﬁlm critic Margaret Pomeranz and comedian Rhys Nicholson, expect mushroom gags and soccer silliness aplenty. 1512
