Orchestras combine to celebrate 100 Years of Disney FROM Page 1

There are two performances - the first at 6pm on Saturday 21 October and the second at 2pm on Sunday 22 October - both to be held indoors at Coffs Harbour Racecourse. “We can’t wait,” she said. To bring a celebratory feeling to the concerts, the organisers have chosen a dressup theme and invite the audience to don a suitably Disneyesque outfit for the occasion. “We encourage patrons to dress up as their favourite Disney character and have some wonderful prizes as well as a lucky door prize at the Sunday matinee,” said Cath. There’s a single ticket Season Pass to next year’s Sunday Concert Series at the Regional Conservatorium up for winning, along with Birch Carroll & Coyle (BCC Cinemas) donating some double passes to give as prizes to promote their screening of the 100 year Disney film later in the year. Coffs Harbour City Orchestra Creative Director Tim Egan and Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium Executive Director Patrick Brearley will be sharing the conducting during the performance.

Agrifood stakeholders drive collaboration and innovation STAKEHOLDERS from across Coffs Harbour’s agrifood sector are set to come together on October 25 to celebrate the launch of an exciting new project, the Coffs Agrifood Living Lab (CALL), designed to boost the region’s economic potential, increase food production and foster a sustainable, resilient local agrifood network. The CALL launch event, held at the region’s newest cultural and civic space, Yarrila Place, will lay the groundwork for future collaborations, providing an opportunity for producers, growers and manufacturers to network and connect with representatives from within research and government. Guests at the launch event will receive an overview of CALL from project leader, Dr Ozgur Dedehayir from Queensland University of Technology (QUT), and hear

from successful agrifood entrepreneurs, including Krista Watkins from thriving green-banana-flour venture Natural Evolution. The CALL project, led by Future Food Systems, in partnership with City of Coffs Harbour (the City) and QUT, will take place over a two-year period and will build upon the findings of an initial collaboration between Future Food Systems, QUT and the City that explored how best to help Coffs region’s agrifood sector boost output capacity, develop new value-added products and help the Coffs Coast region realise its full economic potential. CALL is a collaborative platform bringing together multiple stakeholders from industry, government, academia and community to exchange information, knowledge and ideas for the purpose of creating new opportunities for the region’s

agrifood sector. CALL will facilitate stakeholder collaboration in the City's new Business @ Yarrila space, as well as a virtual (online) space, and will be a hub for a variety of activities, including workshops and marketing initiatives to encourage innovation and boost returns for the region. The Living Lab concept has been widely deployed across Europe and North America to accelerate collaborative innovation in complex ecosystems. According to Dr Dedehayir, CALL will be the first agrifood-focused Living Lab in Australia. “CALL will be an orchestrator of open innovation processes driving the cocreation of food and beverage innovations,” Dr Dedehayir said. Fostering a sustainable, resilient local

agrifood ecosystem lies at the heart of the Living Lab project, said the City’s project industry lead, Nicole McLennan. “We anticipate that the Coffs Agrifood Living Lab will not only facilitate innovation; it will serve as a signal to stakeholders of the region’s progressiveness in terms of agrifood innovation and entrepreneurship,” Ms McLennan said. Guests interested in attending the CALL launch event on October 25 in Coffs Harbour can register via https:// futurefoodsystems.us20.list-manage.com/ track/click?u=9c9ce2bc18e998def123361 d0&id=c238e87949&e=d5ada3d6fa.

TRAIL GOES COLD FROM Page 1

visitors could view migrating whales, for years, and were very optimistic when Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan, former Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight and councillor Tegan Swan announced a grant for $1.1 million in 2019. Ray Willing, President of the Northern Beaches Residents Association (NBRA), said the Woolgoolga Chamber of Commerce and the NBRA have since consulted with Mr Hogan’s office and the City of Coffs Harbour to facilitate the construction of a Whale Trail hoped to attract more tourists to the town. They envisaged a path along the escarpment that could become an ‘iconic’ tourist attraction. Mr Willing said while residents have never been happy with plans presented to them by City staff, previous proposals have been preferable to a plan labelled ‘Option 6C’, which staff recommended to councillors at the October 12 City of Coffs Harbour meeting. The meeting notes read: “City of Coffs Harbour (City) staff are very cognisant of Council’s desire to deliver a project scope that meets the community’s expectations; however, this scope is

aspirational beyond the grant agreement’s intent and therefore, a further contribution of funds is required from the City’s ratepayers.” After the Mayor, Cr Paul Amos, used his casting vote to defeat an amendment to adopt a different option, Council voted, six votes to two, to adopt Option 6C. The Council said the final concept design allows for 395m of concrete footpath (while the grant agreement requires at least 380m) and 126m elevated boardwalks (grant agreement requires at least 110m), at widths of 1.8m and 1.5m. It said the design also includes car parking, kerbing, seating and lookouts as required by the associated grant agreement. "I am pleased that we are now in a position to promptly deliver the missing Whale Trail link section,” Cr Amos said. “The seating, raised decking, lookouts and footpath will combine with the widening of the Carrington Street and Pollack Esplanade corner to create a safe and supporting link to the headland walk." Andrew Beswick, the City’s Director City Infrastructure, said, “The adopted final concept design required extra funding, so

q Option 6C is not popular with Woolgoolga residents. Photo: City of Coffs Harbour.

Council also approved the reallocation of $132,112 from other new footpath budgets in the 2023/24 Operational Plan to complete the project. “Works outside the grant agreement, such as the widening of the corner of Carrington Street and Pollack Esplanade, are being funded by the City’s ratepayers from the General Fund, with an amount of $325,000 included in the adopted 2023/24 Operational Plan.” Mr Willing who, along with other Woolgoolga residents, attended the meeting, holds the view that the footpath should have

been budgeted for from City funds, not the Whale Trail grant. “We feel we have been deceived and misled,” he said. “It’s not a Whale Trail, it is too narrow to be shared and safety of pedestrians and cyclists is a concern.” Gurmesh Singh, the Member for Coffs Harbour and Shadow Minister for Tourism, Emergency Services and the North Coast, has been supporting Woolgoolga residents through the process. “I'm absolutely gutted that Woolgoolga won't be getting an iconic Whale Trail,”

www.newsofthearea.com.au

Mr Singh said. “It's outrageous that it has now been downgraded to a footpath - and the narrowest option available as well. “Rightly so, residents are frustrated that it has

taken so long to get such a disappointing design, and I encourage councillors to support any measures to revisit the design and give the community what they were promised - a Whale Trail.”

Guy Fawkes National Park closed for upgrades By Andrea FERRARI

Project Officer, spoke of the prudence of the temporary closure in ensuring the completion of major construction works. "This short-term temporary closure will give contractors the space to focus on safely completing major construction stages. “This will allow us to progress works at the Upper Falls faster and ensure the new visitor precinct is open in time for the summer holidays," he said, The works are upgrades, meaning visitors can expect an enhanced experience on completion of the works at

The upgrade includes the construction of new lookouts, visitor precincts, and accessible amenities. Dirk Richards, NPWS Northern Inland Principal

the end of the year. These improvements include enhanced and inclusive accessibility, increased parking, brandnew visitor facilities, and new vantage points to view the dramatic gorge and waterfalls. During the closure, no toilet, picnic or rest stop facilities will be available at Ebor Falls. Travellers on Waterfall Way are advised to use alternative amenities located in Ebor township or at the Ebor Sportsground.

Signage and traffic barriers will be in place to inform motorists of the closure. Access to Ebor Cemetery off Ebor Falls Road will remain open. The Upper Falls precinct will reopen to the public in December 2023.

Local surf legend recognised in California By Andrea FERRARI

IN RECOGNITION of a lifetime’s work crafting surfboards, Raleigh-based surfboard builder Mitchell Rae, founder and owner of Outer Island Surfboards, officially accepted his induction into the Surfboard Builders Hall of Fame in California on Saturday 14 October. He refers to the U.S. trip as a pilgrimage to his “surfing Mecca”. “A journey to pay tribute to those who paved the way for my career and lifestyle,” Mitchell told News Of The Area. Standing in front of an array of surfing greats while delivering his acceptance speech, Mitchell said, “I have to say I’m experiencing Surf City sensory overload here in Huntington Beach, my first time in California. “You’ve got a lot going on here in contrast to where I live and work on the East Coast of Australia. “I really do have

kangaroos that hop down my street.” The road to Mitchell gaining this international accolade has been quite a journey. “To have my work recognised, experiencing Californian hospitality, their

surf culture and the size of the surf industry here has been an eye opener. “In hindsight though, beside surfing itself, what’s been most enjoyable for me about shaping custom surfboards is the satisfaction I get from the process of sitting down with a surfer that wants a board from me, listening and exchanging

ideas, writing up the custom order form and then I get to translate that conversation into foam and fiberglass. “If it’s a young surfer’s first custom board or a guy that I’ve been making boards for for decades, inevitably when they come to pick up their new board I get to see the big smiles. “I get so many high energy, stoked phone calls and emails when they’ve had a surf on their new board and that’s enormously gratifying.” Mitchell started surfing in 1963 at Dee Why on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, the “epicentre for Australian surfing in the early 60s”. Just over the hill, in Brookvale, was the centre for the surfboard industry in Australia, with Barry Bennett, Bill Wallace and Gordon Woods all having their

factories there. Mitchell built his first board when he was aged twelve. “I rode that board in the first Australian schoolboys’ competition, making it into the finals with Mark Richards. “Back then, around ‘67, the only way for me to make a living from surfing was making boards.” His first job was as a sander at Peter Clarke Surfboards in Brookvale. “After a year of sanding, I got a gig as a shaper. “Not long after, with two friends we started Outer Island. “Midget Farrelly was moving his factory to Brookvale, so we stepped straight into his old factory in a boatshed at Palm Beach. “As the factory grom, I glued blanks, glassed, sanded, polished, made fins and got to shape a few boards and we experimented with super deep concave bottoms.”

www.newsofthearea.com.au

In ’72, Mitchell’s visit to Bali ignited a lifelong affair with the Indonesian island’s waves. “The reefs, steep take offs, perfect barrels and that mystical island culture has had an influence on my life and shapes ever since.” On that first trip to Bali, he noticed the local fishing boats had eyes painted on the bow. The fishermen believed that having eyes on their boats brought the boat to life and aided their safe return. “I thought that was cool and the ‘Spirit Eyes’, as I call them, have become synonymous with Outer Island surfboards.” Mitchell suggests that his biggest contribution to surfboard design is the 30odd years he’s dedicated to the development of variable curve and controlled flex. “I was fortunate to surf with George Greenough at Lennox Head in the winter

of ‘69 and saw how his spoon Velo would flex, carve incredibly tight arcs and generate speed out of turns and I’ve been on a quest to incorporate flex into my boards ever since. “My original flex tail designs used a blade-like, flexible fibreglass tail section, inspired by George. “With the advent of flexible foams and carbon fibre I was able to evolve my flex designs by allowing me to replace the buoyancy of the sculpted out tail section, necessary to achieve the flex and to restore the foil and volume of the original tail profile with PE foam.” One of his passions is crafting balsa boards, of which he builds a small number of classic chambered mals and guns each year. “I’d like to think I’ve contributed in a small way to the evolution of modern surfboard design and surfing.”

The Muddy Archeologist By Andrea FERRARI

DUBBED ‘The Muddy Archaeologist’, British digger-upper of ancient sites and passionate historian Gillian Hovell will present the next Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society (ADFAS) Coffs Coast talk. The talk is titled ‘What Did the Greeks and Romans Ever Do for Art?’ and is on Monday 23 October at the National Cartoon Gallery. Keen to share her delight for digging into history, Gillian shares examples of how archaeology and history are all around us, so much so that sometimes we don’t even realise how Latin and aspects of ancient culture are infused into our lives.

media@newsofthearea.com.au q Gillian Hovell, aka The Muddy Archaeologist, is presenting the October ADFAS talk in Coffs Harbour.

“Ancient Greek art blossomed for hundreds of years before the Romans took that art – the sculpture, frescoes, vase painting, architecture and so much more – and made it their own,” said Gillian. “New media, new styles and new expressions burst forth, and this vibrant cocktail created the basis for western art for millennia.” Gillian shares her expert and lifeexperienced views on just what those Greek and Roman artists achieved that was so world-changing. “It wasn’t just the media they expressed themselves in and the unforgettable works they created which have been echoed over the millennia, it was a mind-set that

established how we would look at art for centuries to come.” Gillian is an engaging speaker, an awardwinning author, historian and archaeologist who brings passion, colour and depth to the here and now by visiting the past. After graduating in Latin and Ancient History from the UK’s Exeter University in 1983, Gillian spent several years working in BBC Television on everything from live television at No.10 to children’s programs, drama series and science and features. Looking ahead, Cath Fogarty from ADFAS Coffs Coast told News Of The Area, “The volunteer committee of ADFAS Coffs Coast has drafted up a program of exciting talks for 2024 which you can find on their website to continue to inspire the mind with a community of people interested in the arts.” Next year’s topics include: Well Heeled, Shoes through time; Friends, Fashion and Fabulousness, the Making of Australian Style; British Pop Art; and Ten Novels That Changed the World. For more information you can visit the ADFAS Coffs Coast website at www. adfascoffscoast.org.au.

Empty Bowls for Pete’s Place By Andrea FERRARI

NOT everyone’s bowl is filled these days, a fact the local Coastal Claymakers are working towards changing for at least one day through their Empty Bowls fundraiser. Hosted at Bellingen Riverside Cottages, people come along and browse through the locally made bowls, select one and then have it filled with salads and crusty bread. They can stay and enjoy their meal with friends to the sound of live music. Wendy Phillips, President of Coastal Claymakers, told News Of The Area that the

Coffs Coast ceramics group has been very productive preparing for this fun fundraising event in recent months. “The Empty Bowls project is a worldwide event that originated in 1990 in Michigan, USA when a high school teacher and his students were searching for a way to raise funds to support a food drive. “All funds raised are donated to a local charity. “In our case we are working with Pete’s Place,” Wendy said. “As a ceramics community we want to draw attention to the fact that in this world, not

everyone’s bowl is filled and that we can make a small difference by staging this event to raise funds for a worthy cause.” In August this year, Coastal Claymakers joined forces with Coffs Harbour TAFE to hold a bowl making day which was followed by a wood-firing at the Glenreagh Street campus. “We are very lucky to have a local TAFE that offers a diploma course in ceramics and many of our members are former students,” said Wendy. “We were delighted to have TAFE’s support for this initiative. “The making and wood-firing process was a great way to galvanise the support of our students and

the Coastal Claymakers for a wider community sharing event,” said Sara Bowen, Head Teacher of Creative Industries at Coffs Harbour TAFE. “There are over 100 bowls in all shapes and sizes to choose from, made and donated by our ceramics community; from Scotts Head to Woolgoolga,” said Wendy. Filled bowls are $40; you keep the bowl and funds raised will support Pete’s Place, Coffs Harbour. The Empty Bowls event will be held on Saturday 21 October 2023, from 10am to 2 pm at the Bellingen Riverside Cottages, 224 North Bank Rd, Bellingen. To join the fun, just turn up on the day.

Marine Park to survive with new name, direction COFFS HARBOUR’S Dolphin Marine Conservation Park will be transformed into the Coffs Coast Wildlife Sanctuary under new ownership. Facing an uncertain future, it was announced this week that the marine park will stay open, thanks to the charitable efforts of the Coffs Harbour community, and a committed local family who wish to ensure a lasting legacy and a safe haven for injured local wildlife. In a remarkable turnaround for the Coffs Coast icon, which went into voluntary administration in August under current management, the park will continue under new ownership.

The park’s current Life Science Manager, Tiga Cross, and her family, have pulled together the fundraising efforts of the community with a personal and significant financial investment to ensure that the park will stay open. Mrs Cross has been at the park for fifteen years and is a strong advocate of the work the park does for marine conservation. "We are profoundly grateful to the individuals and businesses in the Coffs Harbour community who rallied together to show their support for the park to stay open," said Mrs Cross. “I believe in the future we have planned for the park, so it was a big, but logical,

decision for us to invest in its future and keep the site open and operational. “Keeping the park open is great news for our 50 marine animals, our 40 staff, our 100 volunteers, and of course the 400 marine animals we rescue and release each year.” Part of the park’s new direction is a rebrand, with the facility now to be known as the Coffs Coast Wildlife Sanctuary. According to the new owners, the sanctuary's mission is to preserve marine ecosystems and promote environmental stewardship while offering exciting new experiences for locals and visitors. "The transition into

education charity The Smith Family. The focus of this AntiPoverty Week is to end child poverty in Australia. Korora VIEW Club supports three children through The Smith Family’s Learning for Life education support programme, providing families with longterm educational, financial and personal assistance so children have all the essentials needed to fully participate in their learning. This year has been particularly difficult for all Australians due to the costof-living crisis, but has been even harder for those already doing it tough. Dianne McLeod, President of the Korora VIEW Club, said that one in six children in Australia is living in poverty, and it’s never been a more important time to support a child with their education. “Families are having to make impossible choices during this cost-of-living

crisis,” she reports. “This could be prioritising rent over sending their child on a school excursion, or paying for schoolbooks. “No child should have to miss out on the essentials of their education, and this is why VIEW is so passionate about supporting the work of The Smith Family. “Its evidence-based approach helps children experiencing disadvantage to overcome the educational inequality they face. “They support children for the duration of their education, and this helps them build the confidence and skills needed to create better futures for themselves.” VIEW Clubs nationally raised more than $1.3 million last year to support The Smith Family’s vital work, and they currently sponsor more than 1,700 students on the Learning for Life programme. While fundraising plays a vital role in helping children in need, Dianne McLeod is

also encouraging women of all ages to donate their time and skills by joining a VIEW club. Last year, VIEW members collectively volunteered over 70,000 hours of their time to help young people through homework, reading and mentoring programmes run by the charity – but there’s still a need for more helping hands. “Our VIEW members have a unique opportunity to provide hands-on support to children experiencing disadvantage, while also forming meaningful and lasting community relationships,” Dianne said. “Recently, members in our local area have been participating in volunteering as Learning Club Tutors, as well as organising fundraising events, trading tables and fashion parades.

Fill up on Pump for Parkinson’s Day By Andrea FERRARI

ON Friday 27 October, the Bailey Centre Liberty Service Station in Coffs Harbour will contribute ten cents per litre of fuel sold to support the Parkinson’s Coffs Harbour Nurses Fund. Local delivery firm PK Express Transport has also committed to contribute an additional seven cents per litre sold. That’s a total of seventeen cents per litre sold being donated. As usual the local Pump for Parkinson’s fundraising effort will kick off at a minute past midnight (12.01am) and will run for a full 24 hours. Service station customers who Pump for Parkinson’s will be helping to raise funds to maintain the services of the Parkinson’s Specialist Nurse based in the Mid North Coast Local Health District in Coffs Harbour. This highly valued nursing position is co-funded by the Local Health District

and Parkinson’s NSW. Fundraising goes towards the Parkinson’s NSW portion of the funding for this important role. The activity is an initiative of the two Coffs Harbour Parkinson’s Support Groups and the Bailey Centre Liberty Service Station. “We’ve been doing this for seven years now and it’s always a pleasure to help support this vital service for our local Parkinson’s community,” the Bailey Centre Liberty Service Station’s Alan Bailey told News Of The Area. “People living with Parkinson’s, and their families and caregivers, depend on our local Parkinson’s Specialist Nurses for connection to information, advice and support. “We are lucky to have one of these nurses in our community and this fundraiser will enable their services to continue.” David Strickland of PK Express Transport agreed, saying, “We have a great

community here in Coffs and people really get behind fundraising for a good cause like our Parkinson’s nurses. “This was the perfect opportunity for us to make a contribution to our hometown and we are happy

to be involved.” Graham Saxby from the Coffs Harbour Parkinson's Group highlighted the prevalence of the disease. “In Australia, there are approximately 219,000 people living with Parkinson’s

Free professional development workshops for creatives By Mary KEILY

ARTS Mid North Coast are delivering a new series of free professional development workshops for artists and creatives in the region. First off, as part of NSW Small Business Month, is ‘Being Well - Maintaining Health And Wellbeing In The Creative Industries'. The workshop explores ways that creative professionals can purposely bring wellbeing practice into their everyday lives. Led by a creative industries expert and wellbeing specialist, Monica Davidson from Creative Plus Business, this

interactive workshop is a tonic to help practitioners remain creative for the long term. “The effect of the pandemic is easing for some creatives, but not all,” Monica told News Of The Area. “In terms of work last year, after the worst of the pandemic eased, it led to a lot of burnout across the board sadly. “This year creatives have been regrouping, which is good, but the cost of living crisis and the reduction of funding for some programs is now having a troubling effect on some artists.” The focus of the workshop will be frank

conversations and providing people with practical strategies. “People are frequently prescribing creative activity to help with other’s well being, but suggesting doing things for professional creatives is like telling a depressed accountant to do more spreadsheets!” she said. “It must be part of their overall professional approach - including how they run their business, how they conduct their marketing, do books, and how they manage their wellbeing." The Being Well workshop will be held at the Harry Bailey Memorial Library at Yarrila Place, Coffs Harbour on Saturday 28 October.

embroidery and beading. There is also a display of items produced to meet the President’s Challenge and visitors can vote for their favourite items. A highlight will be a huge family of gnomes knitted by a keenly growing group of craftswomen. Inspired by CQ&N member Jill Norton, who came across a knitting pattern book of gnomes, Jennifer West and other members started to knit the various gnome patterns including a mystery pattern.

Each gnome is a character with some special features. The Gnome Village comes complete with fruit trees, fir trees, houses and mushrooms all knitted or crocheted by these motivated ladies. The Village has several geographical features to make it interesting. Throughout the show some members will be demonstrating their skills and will be happy to answer questions about their work, while others will have items

Music in the Garden on Sundays By Andrea FERRARI

CHILLED live acoustic guitar and vocals are coming to a new venue on the Coffs Coast, with the Vitality Bloom Nursery in Boambee East introducing Music in the Garden on Sundays. Singer/songwriter/ guitarist Bob Crain, originally from Hawaii and now residing in Toormina, will launch the new music venue on Sunday 29 October through a joint performance with Briaan Llorente, a singer/songwriter from Bellingen. Having sea-changed/ tree-changed from Melbourne earlier this year, Bob discovered the Garden Mania Lifestyle Centre in Boambee East. Amongst the various buildings he observed the beautiful natural setting around Vitality Bloom Nursery and spotted the opportunity for live music in the venue. “I saw the shed and the setting and my mind started ticking, I thought ‘this is a great place to play music’,” Bob told News Of The Area. When Bob approached the owner, Alicia Kook, she met him with a metaphorical high-five,

saying that’s exactly what she also had in mind. “I’d been thinking about putting on live music here, but I needed someone with the experience to work with,” Alicia told NOTA. The pair began planning, put a date in the diary and are now promoting the performance as the start of a live music program in the grounds of the Lifestyle Centre. Commencing Sunday 29 October in the beautiful outdoor setting on the grass in front of the Conservatory, which was designed by the renowned Coffs Harbour Architect Vil Brickman, and now described as ‘the folly’, there will be a light and airy musical performance from 1pm to 5pm. Bob and Briaan will be performing original songs and classic covers solo and together as a duo. Mindful of always playing to the venue, Bob said the genre will be “low key acoustic”, adding that attendees can expect “a quiet folk/rock festival vibe”. Entry is free and welcoming to kids, dogs, friends and family. Bring your own lawn chairs or blankets. The Garden Mania

“Vitality Bloom Nursery, Secret Garden Café, Willy Wagtail Homewares and more can be found at Garden Mania so come and explore between sets,” invited Alicia. Until moving to the Coffs Coast, Bob Crain (www. bobcrain.com.au) was the main songwriter, rhythm guitarist and co-lead singer with Melbourne original band Folk In The Road. He has three selfreleased CDs: The Hippies Were Right, Humanology 101 and a live performance recorded at the Folk Barn in

Briaan Llorente’s trademarks are passionate songwriting, soothing vocals and exquisite guitar playing.

Taking a Legal Look

By Manny WOOD

Estate planning for young families JACK and Jill, in their early 30s, have two young children and were recently married. They have worked hard to pay-off half of their mortgage and they have already accumulated a reasonable amount of superannuation. Jack is concerned that if he were to pass-away unexpectedly, whilst still being relatively young, it is likely that Jill would enter-into another relationship and that her new partner could “end up with everything” and that his children could miss-out on their inheritance. Jack seeks legal advice and is advised that it is possible for him to execute a more complex will that would grant Jill a life interest in their home whilst preserving “his half” of the equity for his children. Jill’s right to occupy the home would be conditional upon her paying the rates and insurance and keeping the home in reasonable repair. The life interest could be a “flexible” one, whereby Jill would be entitled to relocate under the same arrangement. Jack is advised that he should appoint an independent executor to monitor Jill’s compliance with the conditions of occupation and to facilitate her relocation, if need be. Jack’s executor would also potentially hold his children’s inheritance on trust until they attain the age of majority. Jack is aware that his superannuation and the attached life insurance policy, would provide sufficient funds to pay-out the mortgage. The solicitor advises Jack that whilst the proposed arrangement would protect his children’s inheritance, it would come at the expense of Jill’s autonomy to deal with the house as she may wish in the future. The solicitor further advises that the ownership of the home would need to be changed to an ownership as tenants-in-common, rather than joint tenants, to achieve Jack’s desired goals. Finally, the solicitor advises Jack that “simple wills” may suffice if he were comfortable that Jill would enterinto a binding financial agreement (prenup) with any future spouse.

DEAR Jasminda,

Make remediation of Korora Lagoons a priority DEAR News Of The Area, SUBMISSIONS closed Friday 6 October for individuals to “have their say” regarding the remediation of the Kororo Lagoons. The Korora Lagoons are facing the same fate as all the other waterways between Coffs Harbour and Woolgoolga. The fact they are man made is irrelevant to any decision regarding their ongoing remediation. They were created using the existing water catchment pathways that have been formed over thousands of years across the escarpment of the ridge running parallel to the coast between Crossmaglen and Woolgoolga and specifically those which flow through the Korora Basin. Like all the waterways in our city their flows have been impinged by residential industrial and agricultural development and the creation of transport corridors at the foot of this escarpment. These waterways have served to flush the natural creeks and springs throughout the area and contribute to the health of the Solitary Islands Marine Park as well as the health and wellbeing of the human inhabitants of the area. These lagoons like Hearnes Lake, Moonee Creek and Coffs Creek make life here on the Coffs Coast what it is. A place which offers a healthy and pleasurable lifestyle for everyone who chooses to live here. At the rate of destruction of our coastal environment Coffs Harbour will be a very different place in years to come and it is imperative we do all we can to maintain it as a premier location for people to live into the future. The salvinia infestation which has all but completely covered the Korora Lagoons is considered one of Australia’s worst aquatic weeds. The effects of aquatic weed infestations consequently impact ecosystem health, biodiversity, water quality and related ecosystem services; agricultural industries and productivity; commercial and

recreational fishing industries; and, social activities including boating, swimming and other recreational water sports. The Korora Lagoons are an integral part of the environment that has seen Korora become one of our most attractive seaside locations. They have added over the years to the sense of place enjoyed by the residents and when in good health provided leisure opportunities for the children and local families. This has also contributed to the growth in value of properties in this suburb which returns healthy rate revenue to the City of Coffs Harbour. If Coffs Harbour is serious about being a fifteen minute Smart City the preservation of the amenity of our environment needs to be addressed in order that citizens can live a healthy lifestyle in their immediate environment. The remediation of these lagoons is essential if this is to be a reality rather than a meaningless platitude. I call on City of Coffs Harbour to give priority to the remediation and ongoing health of all four Korora Lagoons for the "continued health and wellbeing of its residents and ratepayers by promoting connection inclusion and healthy environments and communities" as stated in the 15 Minute Smart City Plan. On another note, thank you to the City of Coffs Harbour for the clearing of road side drainage along Hogbin Drive to accommodate future excess runoff which will occur due to the creation of the airport technology park and nearby residential development. It might be a good idea if these drainage ditches were also cleared of all the litter and debris which has been revealed by this work. I would hope this litter and debris will not find its way into the ocean.

Friends recently invited us to their home for a wood-fired pizza night. As committed pizza makers, we were excited to show off our skills and arrived with toppings for a spectacular salmon pizza. After spending time arranging red onion rings, slivers of salmon, bocconcini, arugula, a secret mayonnaise recipe, capers, and a drizzle of cold-pressed Olive Oil, our winning pizza was delivered with pride to the host who somehow managed to fling it off the pizza placing peel and onto the pebblecovered ground (at which point his dog licked it). He then scooped it up and tried to turn it into some sort of Yorkshire pudding even though it was clearly inedible. For one terrible moment, before I intervened, he seemed to be leaning towards cooking it regardless and serving it to the assembled guests. It put a bit of a damper on the evening. Gregorio F. Dear Gregorio, THE Yorkshire pudding put a damper on the evening? You’re good. Are you trying to take my job? I’ll have you know this position involved a gruelling interview process. Sort of like a cross between Squid Game and a public service job application. I suspect, with a name like Gregorio, you are not only committed to food, but a bit fanatical (and quite possibly neurotic). Your ingredients suggest that you didn’t see this as an evening of friendly banter, but an opportunity for some robust one-upmanship. Your host felt that too, no doubt, and so what (to the casual observer) looked like a simple misstep was more an act of brinkmanship. It could have gone either way. Had you allowed your host to cook the pizza, your acquiescence would have been on full display as the social group silently compared his crisp, minimalistic pepperoni pizza to your hot mess of polychlorinated biphenyls, Bunnings Tuscan path pebbles and dog slobber. Instead, by removing your exhibit from the equation, the question of your pizza’s relative superiority will always remain. The social group will await the next instalment (perhaps a Turducken evening) with bated (not baited) breath. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

COFFS COAST News Of The Area

The Wreck of Beaver (Part 2) days living on shellfish, though they also had some biscuits and two bottles of wine. On 27 September the crew onboard Thomas Lord discovered the men, so the captain headed for the schooner Alfred, about six miles away, to borrow a small boat. The mate of Thomas Lord was placed in charge of it and though the heavy swell prevented them from reaching the island, two of the stranded men jumped into the sea, managing to reach the boat. They were taken aboard Alfred, and the two ships remained nearby overnight, unable to rescue the remaining crew due to the heavy surf.

The Emma, headed for Sydney, came across the two ships and the two rescued men were transferred to the vessel, Emma’s captain intending to rescue the remainder of Beaver’s crew. However, at daylight the schooner H.M. Bramble came upon the scene and rescued the remaining crew using their boat, though Beaver’s captain chose to remain behind to try and salvage some of the cargo. Those rescued joined their two companions who were picked up earlier, onboard Emma. As Emma was short of provisions, the ship called into Broken Bay where five crew members landed and walked overland to

Muddying the waters on water rights DEAR News Of The Area,

THE following letter is in response to comments from Gurmesh Singh and Michael Kemp on Coastal Harvestable Water Rights. Mark Twain famously said: “There are lies, damned lies and statistics.” It was a shrewd and perceptive observation of how statistics can be used to muddy the waters, distract attention or support a poor argument. That quote came to mind when I read the article in last week’s NOTA on Coastal Harvestable Water Rights. Nothing muddies the water more effectively than an irrelevant statistic.

Gurmesh Singh may be correct when he says that 30 percent of runoff only equates to two and a half percent of the water that falls on a property. Correct, but not relevant. The real issue is not the percentage of rainfall but the amount of runoff that is withheld from our streams, rivers and ultimately the Solitary Islands Marine Park. That runoff is critical to the health of those waterways and the marine life they nurture. That’s why we measure and control runoff, not total rainfall. Coastal streams do demonstrably benefit from higher rainfall than inland waterways.

Cultural centre access DEAR News Of The Area,

A WHILE back I wrote regarding the ridiculous situation at Woolgoolga Beach where a perfectly serviceable toilet block (both male and female) with shower facilities and change

rooms was replaced by council with him/her toilets in the middle of a children’s playground with no change rooms or showers. Bad enough! The green monster cultural centre that the pundits think was an absolute steal at

However, the health of the ecosystem those streams support depends on that higher rainfall. It is both simplistic and wrong to say that we can capture and store three times as much in coastal systems without a negative impact. That runoff is critical to a complex and important part of the place we call home. As for the science, it was right there in the former NSW Government’s analysis of the move to 30 percent harvestable water rights. The Government itself said that there will be more frequent periods of no or low river flow and reduced flushing as a result of the increase in harvestable water and

it noted the negative impact that would have on water quality. It also specifically noted that increased harvestable rights could also result in Woolgoolga Lake being open to the sea less frequently and for a shorter amount of time, a poor outcome for so many people in Woolgoolga. There is room for debate about land use and water policy in our region, but let’s keep it real. Irrelevant statistics don’t add value to a debate on water, just a lot of mud.

$82 million, comes without parking for the disabled. Yes, there is limited disabled parking in the shopping centre car park which is primarily there for shoppers, but I guess, is now there to be shared by shoppers, library users and those on council business. Maybe those with disabilities don’t need as much culture because access to the

culture centre is going to be a challenge. Planning doesn’t seem to be a strong point, perhaps this small oversight can be addressed and a solution found.

Don’t be a tosser or a fire-bug! DEAR News Of The Area,

WE have another worrisome fire season coming up, well, actually already here in some parts of the country. This is an appeal to smokers. Please, please don't throw your cigarette

butts out of the car. Or anywhere else. Today I walked along a section of Solitary Islands Way in Woopi and was astounded at the number of cigarette butts along the verge. Literally one or two every metre or so. If you must smoke in the car, it's a no-

Coffs Harbour is a hot-spot in the state for an increasing number of homeless people (including Indigenous people). The amount spent on this building should have been used for social housing.

Croquet Club donates to Westpac Rescue Helicopter By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Sawtell Croquet Club recently hosted its annual charity day in support of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. The event brought together 45 enthusiastic participants who basked in the sunshine as they took part in social golf croquet, the fastest growing version of the sport. It is simple to learn and play, but requires some strategic skill required to be successful. Golf croquet is won by a player hitting their ball through each hoop. Each player takes a turn at hitting a ball through the same hoop in sequence.

Friday, 20 October 2023

The player or team that wins the most hoops is declared the winner. After several hours of friendly but competitive competition, participants came together for a BBQ and ‘debrief’. The highlight of the day, however, was the presentation of the cheque for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. The Sawtell Croquet Club managed to again raise an impressive $1,000 in donations. Ms Jennifer Dowd, Regional Partnerships Officer for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, accepted the donation and said, “The Sawtell Croquet Club has donated more than $10,000 to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter since 2005.

Sydney, arriving the following morning. Shortly after the shipwreck, Beaver, still embedded firmly between two rocks, was advertised for sale, most likely as the ship was uninsured, the intactness of the wreck and the hull and fittings being copper. The advertisement included a description of the ship’s position, level of intactness and a statement from its former master, Captain Cobham, indicating his willingness to be employed by prospective owners to salvage the ship. However, Beaver disappears from the records and the remains have never been found.

Regards, Tony JUDGE, Woolgoolga.

Regards, Ron STRAUCH, Arrawarra. A disaster waiting to happen! Besides the fact that it's littering and maybe that unmarked police car who spotted your toss will issue a fine. Don't be a tosser! Or a potential fire-bug. Regards, Gwen MCNAMARA, Woolgoolga. Anthony Albanese’s hypocrisy and insensitivity will be reflected in an acceleration of No votes in the referendum. Regards, Merrin VAN DARTEL, Sawtell.

headspace hosts a day of all things skateboarding By Andrea FERRARI

YOUNG skateboarders enjoyed a day out at Coffs Harbour’s Koby Mitchell Memorial Skatepark on Friday 6 October, organised as a school holiday activity. The day began with a beautiful Acknowledgement of Country from Allison Wilson. With some of the older skaters away in Sydney for a competition, the younger ones were given free rein at the skatepark. Ethic of the day: ‘No skateboard? No idea? No problem’. The event was organised by headspace Coffs Harbour, funded through the NSW Office of Regional Youth and supported by the local skate community. Bevin Newton and the crew from Chalkies Skateshop, together with local artist and skater Jimmy Wags and Coffs Coast Skateboarding were on hand to loan equipment, provide free lessons and coaching, and the opportunity to learn new tricks. “It is so great for all the younger kids to have a go and build up their confidence,” parents present at the event

said. Special show bags had been put together and were awarded to those who put in the greatest effort, made a big improvement in their confidence and/or skills, and impressed the lookers-on

during the skate jam. “It is so important for young people to have the opportunity to try something new and active in a positive supported environment, it builds so many important skills for later in life,”

headspace Coffs Harbour Centre Manager Suzanne O’Donnell told News Of The Area. Some lucky young people got the chance to work with Jimmy Wags and the Mullaway Creative Co to design their own skateboard. “Provided with a free blank skateboard deck and paints and plenty of encouragement there were some amazing designs produced on the day.” Jimmy helped the youngsters work on their designs and they got to take away their decorated boards.

Husband and wife duo excel at NSW Off Road Racing Championship q

By Aiden BURGESS

NATHAN and Gaby Wills have formed a dynamic racing duo. The husband and wife have been having a standout season in this year's NSW Off Road Racing Championship. The duo is coming first in their classification, with Nathan coming first in the driver standings, and Gaby first in the navigator standings. Gaby gave her thoughts on her and Nathan’s fantastic racing season, made even more remarkable due to their inexperience in off road racing. “It is our first time owning a race car in the field and Nathan's first ever year driving,” she said. “Throughout the year we have had amazing success all over NSW including several podium wins.

“We are placing first in our Class 8 trophy truck, and I am placing as first outright navigator, and Nathan is placing first in outright driver. “It has been a shock, as he has been the underdog all year and has been turning heads. “We have had the most fun year competing together as a family, our kids and parents come along to all the races too. “We also have some lovely sponsors that have helped us along the way; All Diesel Equipment Sales & Service, Blast Monkey Mobile Abrasive Blasting, Design by Tiffany, and Bailey’s Excavation.” She said the family atmosphere was a big factor in the racing couple entering the NSW Off Road Racing Championship. “We work together and

we have kids, and we wanted something we could do together outside work,” she said. “We go camping at each round, and our parents come along and watch the kids when we race. “We both have a strong passion for off road racing, and combined with the great family atmosphere makes it perfect for us.” Gaby said it was an interesting dynamic being married and also being a racing partnership. “It could help us or it could hinder us, but Nathan and I are lucky in that we have a good connection,” she said. “We have general conversations when we race, and we will definitely do it again next year when we will share the driving.”

BEST ON THE BOX TUESDAY

WEDNESDAY

SBS, 8.30pm

SBS, 9.30pm

Marc Fennell’s penetrative-yet-humorous investigative style makes everything the talented journo turns his eagle eye to worthy of watching. Fennell, who had us glued to the screen with The Kingdom and Framed, paints a fascinating picture in this gripping, sumptuously shot investigative threeparter, kicking oﬀ tonight. It’s a strange true story that is just begging to be examined in great detail; in outback Western Australia, 1986, 26 European masterpieces were savagely ripped from their frames inside a Spanish monastery. It’s a perplexing, under-the-radar art heist for the ages in which Fennell expertly draws every potent little detail, from the tiny monastic Aussie town to London and New York.

It’s billed as a rom-com, but this new British series is more black than you’d expect. Starring Katherine Parkinson, who sparkled in the cult hit tech comedy The IT Crowd, and Youssef Kerkour (Home), it’s a tale of two broken misﬁts who inexplicably form a connection in the midst of a heart attack and a suicide attempt. It’s a bold premise that wholeheartedly embraces trying to ﬁnd the mirth in melancholy. Set in Manchester, 40-somethings Anna and Sam are each staring at rock bottom, until their misfortunes intersect before an ambulance trip. Somehow, Anna puts up with divorced Sam’s appalling behaviour, which is likely to make you want to scream “Run!” at your screen.

SATURDAY

THE COTSWOLDS WITH PAM AYRES

SBS, 7.30pm

British poet Pam Ayres garnered fans and fame through ditties such as “Oh I Wish I’d Looked After Me Teeth”,and “Please Will You Take Your Children Home Before I Do Them In?”. In this attractive new four-part series, premiering tonight, the witty writer takes a warmhearted trip through her home terrain. Rather than the usual tourist spots, it’s an intimate travelogue of the stunningly beautiful Cotswolds businesses and locals. The softly spoken 76-year-old exudes a soothing quality as she enthusiastically shares her ﬁnds, beginning in Bourton-on-the-Water, a little village that looks ripped straight from a fairytale.
