afternoon driving along Orara Way from our accommodation at the CBD Motor Inn in Coffs Harbour to the historic town of Coramba. “We were traveling here for the first concert stop on our tour for Music in the Regions. “Our program, Suite Mágica, combines our instruments of classical guitar and harp in a recital program full of beauty, versatility, and energy exploring music from Granados and Ravel and new works by Australian composers Elena KatsChernin and Ross Edwards. “Our performance took place at the lovely Coramba Community Hall built in 1914. “For me as an American, this building looked like pure Australiana. “With the misty mountains in the background, the open valley with cows grazing amongst the pasture, and the kookaburras laughing, I was just waiting for a wallaby to bounce by. “I was told by the locals it wasn’t the first time a harpist has performed here.” According to the Coramba local, an Australian harpist once graced this same stage playing country-western on her harp. Andrew and Emily gave their performance to a packed house, getting their ten-day tour off to a great start. “The warm and receptive audience was so thankful that we had traveled so far to their small community to bring them such high-quality and exciting classical music. “The Orara Valley Axemen were behind the bar serving the audience refreshments between sets, and a couple of harpists traveled from far and wide to attend the concert. “It is always a treat to meet musicians. “After our performance, we were invited to the local pub, The Coramba Hotel, for a couple of pints, outside again with the fabulous view overlooking the valley. “We were joined by Music in the Regions Artistic Director Janine Collins, who came all the way from Sydney as well as Producer Annabelle Swainston and Marketing Olivia Deskoski (marketing).” When in Coffs, Andrew and Emily spent the afternoon in Sawtell with Stephanie Sims’ ukulele group, Uko Ono. Steph told NOTA, “We weren’t sure how the workshop session was going to go – the only thing we knew we had in common was strings. “In addition to an intimate performance from Emily and Andrew, we received some great tips for playing and got to perform three songs together. “We chose songs from our repertoire which have quite sparse arrangements to allow space for the harp and classical guitar to shine through. “I think the best message we received was to really listen to each other. “We have so many beautiful voices in our group it was lovely to hear it all come together,” said Steph.

Nats Retain Cowper FROM Page 1 described as “a civilised handover of power” that is the envy of many other countries. The two Coffs Coast electorates of Cowper and Page highlighted two vastly different political situations, although both sitting Nationals members were eventually returned. Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan claimed victory in a statement released on Tuesday afternoon, following a tight race that was too close to call in the days following polling day. “With all polling booth and pre-poll numbers now in, and a large percentage of postal votes now counted and assigned, it is time for me to officially agree with all the media reports and call the seat of Cowper as a ‘Nationals Retain’,” said Mr Conaghan, who will serve his second q

term as Cowper MP. “I am humbled to be given a second opportunity to represent the people of Cowper. “I have learned an incredible amount over these past three years and have listened to views from all sides. “I will be taking those views and using them to form decisions for the electorate moving forward.” Mr Conaghan thanked his election opponents for their “passionate advocacy” on key electorate issues throughout the campaign. “Every candidate has the community at heart, first and foremost, and for that every candidate should be applauded and congratulated. “I do not take the privilege of representing the best region in Australia lightly. “I am proud to be able to continue to represent

In a concession statement released on Tuesday, Independent candidate Caz Heise said she had always accepted that beating Mr Conaghan would not be easy given he held Cowper by a margin of more than eleven percent. “It’s been an incredible privilege to run as the Independent Candidate in the seat of Cowper and I am extremely heartened by the movement we have created in our region and the very close race we were able to mount,” Ms Heise said. “I am relieved to see the values of the people of Cowper are more closely reflected in the government of Australia again.” Ms Heise thanked the “generous and wonderful” volunteers who had worked with her throughout the

campaign. “Thank you too, to the hundreds of local people whose generous donations enabled us to run a dynamic campaign which dramatically slashed the Nationals margin in Cowper.” Cowper has now gone from being a safe Nationals seat to a marginal seat, with a significant swing against the sitting member of 6.54 percent. Throughout the campaign Mr Conaghan acknowledged that some national issues might have contributed to the drop in his votes. Ms Heise campaigned on issues of climate change and integrity, and came very close to winning. Despite a campaign to paint Ms Heise, and other ‘teal’ Independents, as puppets of Climate 200 and founder Simon Holmes à Court, her media manager, Graeme Singleton, said the campaign was a real community-based

effort, with more than 700 local donors to Ms Heise’s campaign and more than 800 volunteers. Ms Heise told her supporters on election night, “I’ve looked for people all my life who are different and want to change the world and now I’ve found them in ‘Caz4Cowper’.” She said she will run again, commenting, “It’s about the beautiful region that we live in and the planet we live on.” Meanwhile in Page, Kevin Hogan bucked the political slaughter of many of his Coalition colleagues and, at least, maintained his previous support. Many commentators assumed that climate change and the Federal Government’s response to the recent floods would impact Mr Hogan’s votes, so the result will very likely be analysed by strategists of all political persuasions.

Mr Hogan thanked his supporters and said, “This one is personal, the flood recovery task has only just begun, there is much more to do. “I will work with and push any government, State or Federal, both Coalition and Labor, and any bureaucrat to speed up our recovery. “The task is above politics and needs continued urgency,” he said. Labor’s Patrick Deegan, who polled the second highest number of votes in Page, thanked his supporters and congratulated Mr Hogan. He said, “It was clear throughout the pre-poll period and again today that Kevin has built a very strong personal brand in the region. “While many people were unhappy with the Morrison Government, the people of Northern NSW have given Kevin strong endorsement to continue as their representative.”

Australia elects Anthony Albanese as 31st Prime Minister

In 2021, a car crash nearly killed Albanese and he says that it changed his life.

“It made me absolutely determined to make a contribution to the country," he told the ABC. In preparation for the campaign, he lost eighteen kilograms and underwent a major makeover. "With my son Nathan and our dog Toto, I live twenty minutes down the road from mum's old place. “I love my community and I'm proud to represent them in our nation's parliament. "My vision is an Australia where everyone has the opportunity to work and enjoys the benefits of a job, but not just any job- good, well-paying jobs that are safe and secure,” he said. World leaders congratulated Mr Albanese on his election.

"I look forward to working with you as we reap the rewards of our comprehensive Free Trade Agreement, the AUKUS partnership and the unmatched closeness between the British and Australian people,” British Prime Minister Mr Boris Johnson said. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the two countries as "being close friends" and said he was looking forward to tackling global issues together. "I'm looking forward to building on that with you, moving forward with progressive ideas, tackling climate change, and delivering results for people in both our countries," he said. Albanese’s election sees the first change in power since 2013, where the last Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was defeated by Liberal Tony Abbott. “My promise is to bring the nation together and promote unity and optimism, not fear and division. “Thank you, Australia,” he said.

ANTHONY Albanese has been declared the 31st Prime Minister of Australia. The son of a single parent who grew up in public housing, Mr Albanese has reached the pinnacle of his government career after 26 years in the parliament. "It is an incredible honour," Mr Albanese told reporters after leaving his house to head to speak at a party event. Mr Albanese said he hoped his story would inspire a future generation of Australian leaders. "My mother dreamt of a better life for me, and I hope that my journey in life inspires Australians to reach for the stars. "I want Australia to continue to be a country that, no matter where you live, who you worship, who you love or what your last name is, places no restrictions on your journey in life,” he said. Anthony Albanese entered politics in 1996 when he was elected as the Federal Member for Grayndler and in 2006 earned the title of Labor’s Shadow Minister for the Environment. He eventually became Australia’s first Federal Infrastructure Minister and in 2013, under the new Rudd Labor Government, he was appointed Deputy Prime Minister and finally, unanimously in 2019, Anthony was elected as the new Leader of the Australian Labor Party. Growing up, Albanese said that it wasn’t easy; being the first person in his family to finish school, let alone university.

“When I was about twelve years old, I helped to organise a rent strike that kept my mother's public housing property from being sold off to developers - a first step towards the world of politics.” He got involved in student politics and aged 22, he was elected president of Young Labor, the party's youth wing, and worked as a research officer under the economic reformist government of Bob Hawke, Labor's longest-serving Prime Minister.

Improving local school zones By Andrea FERRARI SCHOOL zones are the target of more than $370,000 in funding for vital work to improve their safety as part of the $40.8 million School Zone Infrastructure Sub Program. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh, who was joined in Coffs Harbour last Monday by NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Road, Sam Farraway, said the program will help keep our

school children even safer as they travel to and from school. “I’m extremely pleased this program is funding safety projects at Coffs Harbour Public School, Coffs Harbour High School, Mary Help of Christians School, Mullaway Public School and Nana Glen Public School,” Mr Singh said. Nana Glen Public School principal Deanie Nicholls told News Of The Area (NOTA), “Nana Glen Public School is thrilled to have their

$21,000 raised for Flood Appeal PARK Beach Plaza and Park Beach HomeBase partnered with The Salvation Army (Coffs Harbour) in early March to launch a Flood Appeal. They asked customers to donate money to raise much needed funds to assist the tireless work of the Salvation Army Emergency Services Team (SAES) and volunteers, working in our neighbouring communities impacted by the devastating floods. Coffs Harbour's SAES Team were one of several teams supporting first responders and evacuees with meals (more than 6,500), emotional and practical support in Lismore and Tweed Heads. Last week Caroline Laine, Group Marketing Manager,

Bachrach Naumburger Group (owners of Park Beach Plaza and Park Beach HomeBase), visited the Salvation Army team in Lismore to donate the $21,100 raised. Captain Philip Sutcliffe, Salvation Army Officer, Northern Rivers was on the ground in Lismore to receive this generous donation. Caroline Laine said, “On behalf of the Coffs Coast community, Park Beach Plaza and Park Beach HomeBase and as your neighbours, we have watched from afar the devastation and heartbreak your community has endured and we trust that this funding along the way has made some aspect of life just a little bit easier. “We know the Salvation Army have been doing an

incredible job in providing meals and emotional support.” Captain Sutcliffe said, “The Salvation Army personnel have been on the ground since March providing thousands of meals for those impacted by floods from Coffs Harbour up the NSW north coast. “In addition to meals, our teams have been offering emotional support, which has been well received by those displaced from their homes.” The Park Beach Plaza/ Park Beach HomeBase Flood Appeal saw $10,550 in donations from the Coffs Coast community and Park Beach Plaza, Park Beach HomeBase and the Bachrach Naumburger Group matched that effort, rounding the total to $21,100.

CELEBRATING its 100th birthday Ulong Timber Sawmill and its associated steam engines and machinery have earned their place on the State Heritage register. Announcing the news, Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the sawmill dates back to 1922 and contains rare early 20th century milling equipment, some still operable. “Due to the transient nature of the business, so much has been lost as mills opened and closed where resources were available,” Mr Singh said. “This highly intact and rare surviving site reflects the once flourishing industry of small sawmills that drove the regional economy for almost a century.” Although the Ulong Timber Sawmill was once a larger complex, encompassing railway land and worker housing, it continues to retain a range of equipment and technology associated with its use since 1922. The Ulong Timber Sawmill is owned and run by Mr David Timms, whose family helped establish the timber-getting and sawmilling industry in the region and the towns of Ulong and Timmsvale from the early 1900s. “It’s great that Coffs Harbour City Council is partnering with Mr Timms in developing a conservation and management plan,” Mr Singh said. “The conservation and management plan will help ensure this unique property and moveable heritage collection will be around for future generations to learn about this

once thriving industry and how its history has shaped the region.” For more information about the State

q A Coffs family who fell into homelessness, Sarah Mills and her children.

By Andrea FERRARI WOMEN and their children are homeless on the streets of Coffs Harbour, the state and the whole of Australia; an issue that now ranks as a high concern to all women who participated in Are Media’s Unhoused HERpulse poll. The findings come as Are Media, along with a coalition of women’s sector groups including Homelessness Australia, Homelessness NSW, The Women’s Housing Company, The Equanimity Project, YWCA Australia, Lokahi Foundation, Dignity and Full Stop Australia, launched the Unhoused campaign calling for increased funding of $7.6 billion to address the national crisis that sees 49,000 Australian women homeless each night. Are Media, publisher of Australia’s biggest magazines for women including The Australian Women’s Weekly, Marie Claire, Woman’s Day, New Idea, Better Homes & Garden and Australian House & Garden, has been focusing the attention of its nine million audience on the very real dangers women face when they fall into homelessness. The issue of homelessless is a very real one for women on the Coffs Coast. Sarah Mills, a mum to three autistic children, has spent seven months homeless due to housing affordability in the region. Sarah had always kept a clean and well maintained home with a reciprocal relationship with her landlord of seven years. However, “when our roof kept leaking, the owner asked us to fundraise to cover the cost of repairs,” said Sarah. “I declined. “And from there on, the relationship shifted. “Several days after the

repairs were finally done to the shower, we received an eviction notice. “It's not hard to join the dots.” Sarah began searching and noticed very limited rentals available. “With every inspection I was shocked to see 30-50 other people also viewing.” She asked for a fourteenday extension which was reluctantly given, and then, still with no home, she asked for a further fourteen days. This extension was granted too, but she was told if she didn’t vacate by fourteen days she would be given an eviction notice. With nothing but rejections, Sarah reached out to available services, including the Department of Housing. “Because we are a highneeds family - the children's needs, plus my own health issues - we meet the 'urgent list' requirements. “The wait time on that? “Two to four years.” Sarah packed up her home. “I don't think there's a lower feeling than standing in your children's rooms and placing their favourite things in a box, unsure of when they'll see them again. “Or looking in their eyes,

unable to comfort their fears about having no home or being able to reassure them it's only temporary. “One person I spoke with has applied between 100150 times with no success. “Many have been enduring this battle for over a year,” said Sarah. “The scary part for this area is the road works coming next year (the Coffs bypass). “That means less rentals for locals, as the workers will secure accommodation. “What I can't figure out is why no one is speaking about this. “I can't work out why the local politicians aren't doing more. “We're all out here moving heaven and hell to fight a virus with a survival rate of 99.98 percent for those aged 20-49, while thousands of families can't secure basic accommodation.” After seven months of homelessness Sarah and her children finally have a home - almost twelve months since they first signed the lease and are still recovering from the ordeal. “I estimate we spent well over $18,000 whilst homeless, often paying between $1000-1500 per week in motel fees.

“The mental toll has been harder than I ever imagined…I became a shell, just moving through the motions. “Until you experience homelessness, you just cannot imagine the complete and utter exhaustion you feel. “It's very easy to see how that experience could lead to people making poor choices. and never recovering. “Towards the end of our journey I became very suicidal. “I'm grateful I somehow

found the strength to survive, but I feel sad knowing someone else may not find that strength. “I hope these stories get heard.” The Unhoused campaign calls on both the Government and the opposition to commit, within the next term of government, to invest $7.6 billion to provide 16,810 new permanent homes for women. The provision was recommended by the Equity Economics ‘Nowhere to Go’ report,

Kaya Wilson’s non-fiction writing blends essay and memoir to explore universal themes of identity, gender and origin. Themed as ‘Road Warriors’, authors Emily Bitto, Kate Mildenhall and Sophie Overett are all in the appealing genre of literature telling the tale of a character striking out into the world, following the road less travelled through cities, woods, mountains, time. These journeys of self-discovery often tell us more about the world at large than we’d like to know, and in the pages of Emily’s ‘Wild Abandon’ and Kate’s ‘The Mother Fault’ we discover two unforgettable characters travelling landscapes that are as familiar as they are threatening. Writing on the subject of trauma, Bellingen Readers & Writers Festival welcomes authors Marion Frith, Sofie Laguna, and Michael Burge. Across vastly different lives we find very moving, and sometimes harrowing stories that speak to the ways we reshape our lives in the aftermath of violence and disruption. “Join these powerful voices in conversation on writing both the darkness, and the light,” said Adam. Marion Frith is a former journalist, communications specialist and speechwriter. She has worked for major Australian newspapers and the ABC, in Canberra, Sydney and London. As a journalist she was based for many years in the Canberra Press Gallery and as a speechwriter wrote for senior Cabinet ministers. Every dollar she has ever earned in a long career has been through writing. ‘But finally, she decided to abandon the pursuit of facts…and spin…and turned instead to pure fiction, and the joy of making it all up.” Marion will discuss this genre change and her first novel, ‘Here in the after’. Sofie Laguna’s most recent novel for adults, ‘Infinite Splendours’, won the 2021 Colin Roderick Literary Award, and already

from. “Variety is the name of the game at the Bellingen Readers & Writers Festival,” said Adam Norris, Festival Programmer. In fact, Adam is part of the variety as interviewer in conversation with Charlotte McConaghy whose latest novel ‘Once There Were Wolves’, described as half murder mystery and half literary fiction, was an instant New York Times bestseller. Set in the wild Scottish Highlands, it follows the reintroduction of grey wolves into this remote, dramatic landscape. But when a farmer is found dead, suspicion begins to mount and loyalties are torn asunder. Suspenseful and thought-provoking, Adam will chat with Charlotte about this lyrical, mysterious read. Elsewhere, Mark Mordue interviews Kaya Wilson about his memoir, ‘As Beautiful As Any Other’. The book shares the personal account of when Kaya, a tsunami scientist, came out to his parents as transgender, a year after a neardeath surfing accident and just weeks before his father's death, opening up a startling family history of concealed queerness and shame.

Botanic Garden Open Day postponed By Andrea FERRARI

THE Botanic Garden Open Day, in conjunction with the community event, All One Under the Sun, has been postponed to Sunday June 19. The organisers are expecting over 5,000 people to attend and this number of feet treading through the Gardens would have adversely impacted the grounds. “Waterlogged conditions

made the event untenable for the 29 May date,” Nola Miles, President of the Friends of the Botanic Garden, told News Of The Area. Conditions will continue to be assessed prior to Sunday 19 June. “Meanwhile, the Friends group is seeking new members and membership renewals, which commence from 1 July annually. “Members can become

Favourite thing about the Garden?

“This garden is so unique and valuable for Coffs Harbour. “There is much to learn here,” said Janet. “I love watching plants grow from little seedlings both planted in the garden and selling off the shelves at the garden information shop,” said Lindy. Favourite plant? “I love native plants and favourites include the Lillypillies such as Syzgium wilsonii,” Janet said. “Kangaroo Paws - I love any flowering plant,” said Lindy.

Woolworths celebrates 70 years in Coffs Harbour By Susan KONTIC

WOOLWORTHS or ‘Woolies’ as most of us describe it in the relaxed and affectionate way we Aussies have of abbreviating familiar names – is an Australian chain of supermarkets and grocery stores that’s been around since 1924. Woolworths Coffs Harbour first opened its doors in May 1952, and 70 years later it’s still an intrinsic part of the local community, located on Park Avenue in the city’s heart. Of course, there have been some changes in 70 years; cash registers are long gone, as is weighing produce on a set of scales, and what shopper 70 years past could have imagined ordering their groceries online and having them

delivered to their door? But some things never change, and today’s 350-strong team of workers are as passionate as ever about serving the local community. Customers can also pick up produce grown and produced in the Coffs region from the store, including Costa berries, Golden Dawn bananas and Norco milk and dairy products. To commemorate the momentous 70-year milestone, the Coffs Harbour store team hosted a barbecue for the local community, where they could come together to celebrate Woolworths’ history in the Coffs community and learn about events throughout the years from the store’s oldest retired team member in the area, Barb

Courtney Palmer, Woolworths Coffs Harbour’s Operations Manager, has longstanding ties with the community and was excited to celebrate the event with her family, friends and team. “Our Coffs Harbour store has been a staple in the community for the last 70 years, giving thousands of people their first jobs,” she said. “Our team has served generations of families and supported numerous community initiatives throughout the years. “We’ve seen plenty of change in that time – when

Fruit and vegetables are available free on Mondays, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10:30am-11:30am for people who may have difficulty in finding enough money for food. People are welcome to come if they need it and take only what they need to ensure that no-one goes hungry.

HELP! I DON’T SPEAK “HAIRDRESSER”

Have you ever walked into a salon knowing exactly what you want, but walked out with the haircut from hell? Even the best hairdresser is going to struggle to please if you can’t communicate what you’re after. Adrian, from Celtic Roots Hair Designers has some handy tips to make your next haircut the best ever. Don’t be afraid use the lingo - over the years a wide variety of hairdressing terms have been bandied about. The greatest difficulty for hairdressers is interpretation: one person’s even layers may be another’s tapering; another person’s tapering may be sculptured; balayage, historically, was a technique but these days it is often referred to as a “look”. Graduation, tapered in, layers - all much used terms though with an array of meanings. Your stylist won’t mind if it takes you a few different tries to say exactly what you mean. Take in some pictures - a hairstyle scrapbook - to discuss with your stylist. However, be prepared to discard some ideas. If your ideal hairstyle won’t work with your hair, a good hairdresser shouldn’t try to please with a less than awesome look. Say what it is that you like about the picture, the whole shebang, the texture, colour, quantity of colour or just the bit that frames the face? Rather than wishful thinking - try making a list of the problems you had with your last haircut and also all the styling or colour problems you are having with your hair. This way, your stylist will be able to approach all issues at once. Consultation is the most important aspect of hair cutting - without it you will only be frustrated. Make sure your hairstylist sees and touches your hair before shampooing. Be specific when you talk about length and don’t hesitate to ask to see how much will be cut off. Be honest about how much time you like to spend on your hair and ask about products that will keep your crowning glory glorious.

COFFS Harbour Neighbourhood Centre (CHNC) has partnered with TAFE NSW to share tips and tricks on how to make healthy and hearty winter meals on a budget. Chef Chris Yarton, who has worked in kitchens locally for many years, is offering to share his skills and knowledge across our community to support families to try new recipes with in season produce. Chris will provide handson cooking workshops across two Wednesday workshops: 22 and 29 June. The workshops have been designed to fall within school hours, to support parents of young families to attend. The aim of the workshops is to build food preparation skills, and present simple dishes with a little creativity and pizzazz. Workshops are free, with all ingredients provided. “The idea is to provide practical hands-on guidance and also provide a perfect opportunity to taste what we have created, by sharing lunch together- a perfect way to celebrate and enjoy new skills,” said Di Woods, Manager at CHNC.

Preparing meals when we don’t necessarily have much variety of ingredients can pull us into a trap of preparing the same things in the same way. Learning tips to present ingredients we already have in our pantry or can source locally at low costs can help us present meals in different ways. Research shows that variety and having fun with presentation encourages all the family to want to come together to eat. “When we work with children, we teach them to eat by the rainbow,” said Di Woods. “Using different coloured fruit and vegetables helps to boost a range of nutrients in our diet to keep, especially tiny bodies healthy but can also add excitement and interest to a meal, especially if we have fussy eaters. “Part of what we want to inspire is making mealtimes fun and engaging. “Helping people get excited about coming together to share a meal absolutely sets the mood for families to have time to connect. “Children who have fun and involvement in preparing meals are more likely to eat what they have helped

Making caring a career By Andrea FERRARI

NV COLLEGE, having had its 2022-23 contract with the NSW Government approved, is celebrating its achievements gaining great benchmarking results across the Mid North Coast. In congratulating her team, NV College General Manager Karen Busby said the confirmation of the college’s agreement with the NSW Government Smart and Skilled program meant the pre-employment and upskilling opportunities would continue for residents in the region. “NV College started in 2013 to help support NVC Group’s vision to provide quality and compassionate care to the elderly residents in our valleys,” she said. “The college has grown over the years and now it is the aged-care specialist in training, plus a provider of great hospitality and food, home and community care and first aid training courses. “Having our contract with the NSW Government’s Smart and Skilled program renewed means we are able to continue providing fee-free or low-fee training opportunities to locals,

which is really important. “This enables people to have the chance to up-skill or re-skill and ultimately become the workers to support our region’s large industries, the aged care sector and tourism and hospitality sectors.” The NSW Department of Education recently released the results of its annual student outcomes survey, providing an important snapshot of what students thought of the college. Results showed 92 percent of students who trained at the college recently said they were satisfied or very satisfied with the quality of the training. Leanne Statham, 58, studied a four-week work ready program at NV college in October and November 2020. She went on to complete a Certificate III in Individual Support in 2021. Ms Statham is now working as an Assistant in Nursing at Legacy’s aged care facility in Coffs Harbour. “I was made redundant in 2020 as a result of COVID-19 and so I needed to re-train and enter a new industry to gain employment,” she said. “Through the suggestion

of a friend, I visited Legacy to talk about a potential job in their laundry and by the end of the interview, I ended up being offered a traineeship as a carer instead. “I studied at NV College in Macksville and found both my managers at work and the college staff to be very supportive and invested in my outcome. “I enjoy working with elderly residents in Legacy’s nursing home. I love the difference it makes in their lives – and it makes me feel good too.” Ms Statham has been nominated for the state trainee awards, due to be held in November. Earlier in May she was interviewed by Training Services NSW representatives as a finalist for these awards. NV College is currently taking enrolments for several fee free preemployment programs, including a TraineeshipIntroduction to Aged Care and Entry into Disability. This is a great way to start a career in either aged or disability care. For more information contact the college on (02) 6568 2100 or training@ nvcollege.edu.au.

‘Ball Against DV’ Three on Three Hustle returns to Coffs By David TUNE

LAST year some 53 teams competed in the inaugural ‘Ball Against DV’ Three on Three Hustle tournament at SportzCentral on Bray Street, Coffs Harbour. This year will see an expanded tournament with interest coming from all around the country and the addition of under ten’s and professional sections in the competition. The tournament will take place in December, with proceeds going to supporting

organisations that assist victims of domestic violence (DV). WNBL and past Australian Opals player Alex Bunton was a victim of DV herself, and has connected with Coffs Harbour Police Regional Domestic and Family Violence Coordinator Kiah Bowen for the event. After having to retire from professional basketball in 2019 due to knee surgery, Alex experienced two years of domestic violence, and finally extracted herself from the situation and is in Coffs Harbour during the WNBL off

season. Alex told News Of The Area, “I think we need to bring people together so that they can become aware of the issue of DV and we need to talk to everyone about how to deal with it.” Tournament organiser and North Coast Basketball head coach Robert Linton said, “With Alex sharing her story we hope that it will have a big impact on young people and spread awareness that DV can happen to anyone.” If you are aware of Domestic or Family Violence

You may qualify for a free RAT test By Andrea FERRARI

THE Neighbourhood Centre in Coffs Harbour has partnered with the NSW Government to provide hundreds of free Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) to people who may struggle to have access. They have commenced distribution to people who identify the need; including people with disability, vulnerable multicultural communities and Aboriginal communities. “Removing barriers to access of tests helps to facilitate early identification and treatment for COVID-19,”

q Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre volunteer Michael with RATS for those who qualify for free tests

Di Woods, Manager at Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre, told News Of The Area. Minister for Families and Communities and Minister for Disability Services Natasha Maclaren-Jones said, “We want to ensure that rapid antigen tests are easily accessible to those who need it most, to keep them safe against COVID-19 through the coming winter period.” The Government message says that as weather cools, COVID droplets can remain longer on surfaces. Some COVID symptoms can be mistaken as signs of

cold or flu. People who do not necessarily have easy access to RATs are more likely to delay symptoms to see if they just subside, but anything that delays testing early puts others around us at increased risk. “By removing costs and providing them at the same time people are coming in and collecting their food support from the Neighbourhood Centre we can support both the health and wellbeing of our community,” added Di. If you have a disability, are a carer or if you struggle to access a RAT test at

home should you need to test, tests are available 10:30-11:30 Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre. Collection will require registration of details, which are kept confidential. The program will initially run for four months, based on supply of stock. A Government review will determine whether it should be extended towards the end of winter. People are reminded that if they test positive on a RAT this result should be registered with Service NSW.

Wendy often uses her bold portraits of daily life and humanity to highlight social issues including women’s health and asylum seekers’ rights.

Apply now for Community Building Partnership grants By Andrea FERRARI

COMMUNITY Building Partnership grant applications close on Friday 10 June, unlocking $37.2 million for community infrastructure projects across NSW. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said $400,000 is available for projects in each NSW electorate, including Coffs Harbour. He urges local councils and not-for-profit groups to apply for the funds they need to deliver projects with social, environmental and recreational outcomes. “Local sports clubs, charities, schools and museums are just some of the groups that benefit from this

program,” Mr Singh said. “If your organisation or club needs extra funding for infrastructure, such as playgrounds, accessible features, equipment or refurbishment, then I’d strongly encourage you to apply.” Through the NSW Government’s 2021 Community Building Partnership Program the Coffs Coast has secured $400,000 in funding for a total of fifteen projects. Successful applicants included Boambee Reserve and Hall Upgrade ($23,900), Coffs Harbour PCYC Installation of indoor and outdoor CCTV ($18,117), South Coffs Community Garden Inc All-weather,

to the problem of bogging and destroying the area. “We are hoping to get started as soon as the weather clears.” In December 2021 Mr Singh personally congratulated the Cancer Council Coffs Harbour team on their application for a cancer support and transport vehicle for patients in Coffs Harbour. “The funds are for the purchase of a vehicle enabling Cancer Council NSW volunteers to transport cancer patients from their homes to cancer treatment in Coffs Harbour.”

Mr Singh said the Community Building Partnership program “means that you can support your community group to improve the places you meet, train or play”. “Take the time to prepare and submit your application so your community group doesn’t miss out on a share of $400,000.” Applications close at 5pm, Friday 10 June 2022. Applicants must read the program guidelines to ensure their club or organisation and proposed project are eligible. For more information visit www.nsw.gov.au/cbp.

Raising cups for a cause IF you see a cavalcade of vintage cars heading south along the highway next Saturday, they will be heading to Mylestom for a good cause. May and June is the time of year when we get together with friends and colleagues and raise our cups at a local Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event to support the Cancer Council.

On Saturday 4 June Dragons Abreast Coffs Coast is hosting a morning tea at the Mylestom Community Hall that promises to live up to its title of the Biggest Morning Tea. “Along with the fascinating vintage cars from Coffs Harbour Veteran and Vintage Car Club on display around the hall outside, inside you will be entertained by the Julie Ross Tappers,” event

organiser Fran Stephenson of Dragons Abreast Coffs Coast told News of The Area. The morning tea starts at 10am and runs through to 12.30pm. “Entry is by $5.00 donation which will allow you to partake in a yummy selection of home-baked goodies and endless cups of freshly brewed coffee or tea.” There will also be things to buy such as produce,

AMIA announced as ETC Employer of the Year By Andrea FERRARI

ADVANCED Metal Industries Australia (AMIA) has been announced as the ETC Mid North Coast Employer of the Year for their work in 2021, giving many vulnerable people job security during the COVID-19 pandemic. The leading Coffs Harbour window, balustrade and powder coating company has been congratulated for its open and transparent communication between local employers and ETC.

“HR Manager Kristina Wilson at AMIA works with ETC to ensure that new starters have all the necessary PPE and documentation they required on their first day,” ETC Recruitment Account Manager Kelly Patterson told News Of The Area. “They openly give honest and direct feedback to ETC as part of our post placement support. “This allows us to work with the customers to ensure they have ongoing support

during their employment or feedback from their interview. “AMIA also always asks for feedback from ETC with ways they may be able to improve on anything.” AMIA was one of the fortunate businesses that didn’t close during the pandemic. According to AMIA’s HR Manager Kristina Wilson, the company has actually seen increased growth and demand over the past twelve months.

Coffs collaborates for Need for Feed By Andrea FERRARI

IN a heartwarming collaboration between local Lions Clubs, Coffs Harbour City Council, C.ex International Stadium, Brown & Hurley trucks and Coffs Ex-Services Club; Coffs Harbour will host the next Lions Need for Feed convoy of fodder en route from Victoria to flood devastated Northern Rivers farmers. With a request to accommodate and feed the entourage of 40-plus vehicles with up to 70 volunteers on their travels north over the June long weekend; Lion Emily Struik of the Urunga and Coffs Harbour Lions Clubs had to put her thinking cap on.

Joining the dots, Emily thought of one of Coffs Harbour’s most well-known farmers, who could relate to the plight of the truck drivers’ mission to feed the flood-affected farm animals. She wrote an email to Councillor Rodger Pryce, who farms up at Brooklana and is a long-time resident of the region. An initial plan to use the Jetty parking area to the left of the roundabout was found to be a double booking – that area is being used for the Coffs Food & Wine Festival over the June long weekend. This meant the kind offer from Coffs Yacht Club to provide shower facilities and evening meals was no longer going to work.

“We’re really lucky that unlike tourism or hospitality, manufacturing boomed during COVID,” said Kristina. They have also gone through a major restructure in their windows factory and started using the Lean manufacturing system. This new process has increased their production, which means they need to employ new people. The partnership with ETC has seen many local job seekers secure consistent work in AMIA’s manufacturing factory. “Our company is going through quite a major

growth period at the moment, and these changes mean that we have been able to increase our staffing levels,” Ms Wilson said. “So, for me to be able to employ more people and put them into these roles is something I’m very passionate about.” Employing approximately 70 staff in the Mid North Coast region, AMIA has a variety of roles available for all different experience and skill levels. “AMIA is always willing to accommodate entry level job seekers as long as they are willing to have a go, learn

new skills and be reliable – which is great to see,” said Kelly. The support and encouragement AMIA provides has helped many disadvantaged job seekers find their feet. “AMIA is a great local employer who I believe truly goes above and beyond to support our ETC customers and ETC values,” said Kelly. ETC is a community orientated, not-for-profit provider of employment, and training services. For more information call ETC on 1800 007 400, or visit www.etcltd.com.au.

In a juggling act, Rodger figured if the handful of big B-Double trucks could be accommodated first, the prospect of finding an overnight park for the standard trucks would be easier. Brown & Hurley, ‘the Big Truck People’, agreed to open their Hurley Drive car park for the night for the Need for Feed B-Doubles. Having been presented with an earlier request to provide an overnight park for the whole convoy, C.ex International Stadium management had previously had to decline the drivers, but with the B-Doubles accommodated, Rodger went back and this time got a thumbs up.

Overnight park and shower facilities: box ticked. Ok, where’s dinner going to happen? “Leave it with me,” said David Doyle, Coffs ExServices Club's chairman of the board.

Rodger told News Of The Area, “I then got a phone call back from David saying that he’s also arranged with Newcombe Coach Lines, the bus company, to pick up the 70-plus truck drivers and partners from C.Ex

International Stadium and take them up to Coffs ExServices Club where a three course meal would welcome them…food and drinks for free. “After dinner the buses will take them back ‘home’ for the night.” In the morning Lions Club will host a BBQ brekkie before waving them off to make their fodder deliveries to the flooded-out farmers on the Northern Rivers. “Jason Bailey from the Council has been amazing getting so much approved… I’m just blown away with the cooperation of Coffs Council,” said Rodger. “It’s unbelievable, the generosity…I can’t thank everyone involved enough.”

A soggy but successful Bellingen Show

By Andrea FERRARI UNDER incredibly testing conditions the Bellingen Show has been heralded a success by organisers despite inundating rains forcing the show committee to cancel Sunday’s programmed activities. In the weeks leading up to the Show, the committee made the difficult decision to cancel the cattle section and postpone the horse competition recognising the need to put the wellbeing and safety of the animals and their owners first and foremost. Saturday’s show activities went ahead mud and all, with local GP Dr Trevor Cheney officially opening the show on Saturday afternoon. Free show entry for all and a free shuttle bus was offered to ferry people across the river to the Showgrounds, thanks to a NSW Government Country Shows grant. On Saturday morning

after an initial downpour delayed the start of the woodchop, the axemen took centre stage to entertain audiences with their strength, speed and accuracy. Safe and warm inside the Poultry Pavilion all types of birds of a feather were on show in record numbers thanks to the rallying efforts of the Bellinger River District Poultry Club. Much to the delight of the community, Bellingen High School were able to bring along their fifteen head of cattle, delivering a ‘mini’ show event on Saturday afternoon. The Luncheon Pavilion Cooking demonstrations went down a treat with celebrity chef Lyndey Milan preparing mouth-watering Moroccan and Greek dishes, while local favourite Mitch Grady entertained younger audiences by preparing and sharing tasty pancakes for all present and showing the locals what to do with local

veggies. The new Artisan Tent was a huge success, with visitors enjoying demonstrations all day as well as having the chance to get their hands dirty making a pot or tiedyed bag. From beekeeping to weaving, lead lighting, mosaics, printmaking and felting, there was time to chat with makers and pick up a purchase. Always a highlight, the Pavilion and EJ Mantova Memorial Art Competition once again impressed with the sea of talented growers, makers and artists showcasing their wares. From award winning roses, patchwork, lego and vegetable sculptures, there was a category for everyone. Around the grounds, Kiera the circus performer entertained the children with giant bubbles, stilts and hula hoops, kids climbed on machinery and were thrilled by the petting zoo and reptile

Show President Gillian Anderson praised the community, the committee and volunteers for their resilience and community spirit, telling News Of The Area, “When the rain came bucketing down on Saturday night we knew we had to call it, it is such a disappointing thing to do after everyone’s

incredible drive to get us to this point. “But the rousing enthusiasm for the wonderful day on Saturday will not be dampened in the least.” The Horse competition has been postponed and will be rescheduled to a future date, when the showgrounds are dry and safe.

DELICIOUS dining, drinking and doing different foodie things – this is what the upcoming Coffs Coast Food & Wine Festival (4-13 June) is all about. The Festival team has spent countless hours visiting restaurants and food businesses. Their goal was clear: to encourage collaborations, highlight local produce, and feature the best the region has to offer. This doesn’t stop at food though, they’ve entwined art, music and even immersive theatre into their festival schedule, which now offers nineteen different events from Bellingen up to Woolgoolga. With sustainability as a focus, the festival is donating a portion of profits towards OzHarvest. Each ticket will help fund two meals for locals in need via the food rescue organisation’s Coffs Harbour chapter. Lindsay Russell, Coffs Coast Food & Wine Festival Director, shares some highlights with News Of The Area. The Great Gatsby Gala at Jetty Beach House with an Alykat Creative aka Alyson Pearson Art Installation on 3 June is the official launch event for The Coffs Coast Food & Wine Festival. It will have a mix of immersive theatre, a little bit of mystery, and surprise performances. “The evening will embody different genres of 1920s themed music from string quartets to an eight-piece swing band and a DJ with 1920s inspired beats to finish the evening with a modern twist. “Miss Tara from Bambino Ballerinas has been training a troupe of locals in the art of 1920s Charleston dancing, so the dance floor at Jetty Beach House will be an exemplary representation of the era.” Alykat Creative will have a pop-up art gallery with each item up for auction digitally, part of which proceeds go towards the festival’s good cause OzHarvest.

Dear Jasminda,

By Manny WOOD

How do I cope with sore losers in the household after the Federal Election? Our family is evenly divided between environmentalists, economy-at-anycost-ers and donkey voters.

Court-made Will considerations LUCAS is involved in a serious car accident at three years of age. He suffers a severe brain injury which significantly affects his cognitive development. Lucas is placed under the care of the Department of Child Safety. His mother is not involved in his daily care amid accusations of neglect and drug use. His father passes-away a few years later. Lucas spends several years living with his grandmother and his sister before moving into care. He remains close to his grandmother and sister, who visit him frequently. As a result of the car accident, Lucas is awarded $10 million in compensation. The NSW Trustee and Guardian is appointed as his financial manager. Lucas does not have a will and in the circumstances, if he passedaway while his mother was alive, she would receive the whole of his substantial estate. The Secretary of the Department of Communities and Justice makes an application to the Supreme Court, seeking orders approving the making of a will on Lucas’ behalf. The Court accepts that the medical evidence put before the Court demonstrates that Lucas suffers from an intellectual disability that prevents him from making a will. Nonetheless, the Court hears evidence that Lucas wants his grandmother and his sister “in his will” and that he was “unsure” about his mother. The Secretary submits to the Court that it would be inappropriate for Lucas’ mother to be the sole beneficiary of his estate and proposes a will which only leaves ten percent to her. It is also proposed that in the unlikely event that Lucas has a spouse at the time of his death, they receive 25 percent and his children 25 percent, if he has any. The remaining terms of the proposed will leave the rest of Lucas’ estate to his grandmother and sister and includes a provision stating that if any of the shares do not take effect, the other shares increase proportionally. Lucas’ mother does not appear at the hearing and the proposed orders are made. Email Manny Wood at manny@ tblaw.net.au or call him on (02) 66 487 487.

Maurie D. Dear Maurie,

Time to start leasing the Civic Centre DEAR News Of The Area,

YES, it's well over the time that most of the premises in this Civic Centre were leased out, so that Council members can stay where they are in their own Chambers, thus stopping further rate rises being incurred by us, the community ! The units being built by the C.ex haven't even been started yet, but they are already advertising they are ready to sell! So what's the hold-up with this other $150,000,000 build which needs to start selling space now? There is no alternative, otherwise there is

just no money left over for normal everyday commitments - like roads and any number of other necessities which should be prioritised. This building should never have gone ahead and now it's nearing completion, something has to be done to stop even further rate rises to the Coffs Harbour residents. Be warned, none of us are happy about this situation. Our town was never equipped to deal with an expenditure like this. Regards, D WILSON, Coffs Harbour.

Save the foreshores for Coffs Harbour DEAR News Of The Area,

RECENTLY Coffs Harbour residents have been urged by outside consultants to complete a survey on how the Crown land east of the railway line should be developed. Their assumption that the land should be sold to developers to pay for ribbon development further along Jordon Esplanade, will destroy the unique character of this beautiful open space which differentiates Coffs Harbour from so many other coastal towns trying to attract tourist dollars. Details such as preferred height of buildings and locations of proposed

“improvements” are immaterial, so what does this survey achieve? Only a third railway crossing will improve connectivity and reduce congestion. Several hubs, including one at the railway station, could provide focal points for both locals and visitors. Additional parking is needed to cater for residents living west of the railway. The Council could be given ownership of all land east of the railway. This would keep control within the community, generate income from long leases for approved commercial developments, and save the costly mistakes of outside consultants.

Council purchase of foreshores

DEAR News Of The Area,

CONGRATULATIONS to the mayor and Coffs Council for resolving to investigate purchasing the railway land at the Jetty threatened with residential development by

the NSW Government. We could make no better investment in this city’s future. Surely the government would not have the effrontery to sell off one third of our foreshore to a private developer with a matching offer from the Coffs community on the table. Furthermore, as the government’s funding model claims to be revenue neutral

media@newsofthearea.com.au

THANKFULLY we live in a democracy where everyone's vote is equal (well, except for those who would prefer to draw a democracy sausage or something similarly shaped but slightly more offensive on their ballot paper than register a valid vote). We are all able to thoroughly investigate what each party stands for and cast our votes accordingly without any threat or favour. Family hostilities can run high, however, when there is disagreement reaching levels almost (but not quite) comparable to when opposing football teams are pitted against each other for the Grand Final. You could perhaps calm your frazzled family members by reminding them that voting opportunities are not so great in other parts of the world. Saudi women, for example, were only given the opportunity to vote in 2015. In Bolivia, if you don't vote it can lead not only to a fine, but denial of salary. In America, you can have a situation where the former president is such a sore loser that he refuses to accept the result, much like a petulant child. And in Russia, the president rewrote the rules, allowing him to stay in power until 2036, something unthinkable in Australia. Remind them, also, that they'll have another opportunity in three years.

Times gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD MARGARET Watson was born on 18 July 1854 in Sydney and baptised in the parish of St James in Cumberland. She married Daniel Morris at Warialda on 26 July 1875 before journeying to the coast between 1876 and 1880, which can be followed by

OPINION

media@newsofthearea.com.au

Bucca Burials the births of their first three children who were registered at Walgett, Bingara and Warialda respectively. In 1883 Dan Morris selected land of 100 acres at Nana Creek but in November 1892 he applied for another selection of 67 acres at Bucca. By this time, they had gone on to have another four children but in 1893, two years after the birth of her last child, tragedy struck the family. On 26 September 1893, according to a family story, Margaret suddenly died from blood poisoning two weeks

after giving birth to a son. The local papers stated she ‘dropped dead’ and a coroner’s inquest was held which found that she had died from natural causes, although given the circumstances, it can be safely assumed that her death was childbirth related. There are no records of a baby’s birth or death but this is not unusual as the legislation which required the registration of birth or death of a stillborn or young baby was not enacted until 1935. Margaret and her baby were buried on

the family property at Lower Bucca. Dan Morris then went on to marry Sarah Cameron in 1896 and they had another five children, the last born in 1909. On 25 February of that same year tragedy again struck the family. Dan’s youngest child from his first marriage with Margaret, young Bertram (Bertie) Morris who was aged just eighteen at the time, tripped and fell whilst holding a loaded pea rifle. He accidentally shot himself just under his eye and died two hours later. The coroner’s inquest confirmed that he had died of his injuries and he was buried with his mother and baby brother on the family property at Bucca.

Population, climate, and challenges for new government DEAR News Of The Area,

WHEN the global population reached a staggering gour billion in 1974, many were concerned about pollution and the future of the planet. World leaders had a chance to address the

unfolding overpopulation disaster via organised summits. But, instead of trying to work on ways to reduce population back down to, say, two billion by 2030 – and give the world a chance to breathe, those

world leaders chose to do nothing. Now more than ever, in 2022, during the ‘big squeeze’ century - with a global population approaching double that ’74 figure, it’s incumbent upon every nation to

Cowper the winner DEAR News Of The Area,

REGARDLESS of the final result, it is clear that the people of Cowper have

won. Thanks to Caz Heise and her team of hardworking volunteers, Cowper is now marginal

and well and truly on the election map. It will no longer be taken for granted by any party, and the issues of

work towards no growth, or preferably population decline. Every nation. That’s where our new federal legislators surely must get fair dinkum on issues such as Australia’s rapid rate of growth and human-induced climate change, rather than just talking about it.

It’ll be a big test for this new mob walking the corridors of parliament in Canberra. Two things they need to address are net migration which is ridiculously imbalanced - with immigration far outweighing emigration; and those ultimately destructive incentives for

climate change, integrity in politics and equality must now feature prominently, whoever takes the seat. This was not about money. We just saw Palmer spend $100m for nothing.

This was a movement of people who have had enough of politics as usual, who want real action, and who were willing to put skin in the game to get it. Everyone in Cowper will benefit.

Coffs Harbour’s right to public open space and genuine consultation DEAR News Of The Area, AS a born and raised resident of Coffs Harbour, I am expressing my concerns about the Jetty Revitalisation plans and the consultation process. My photo appears on page four of the plans. People have suggested it appears as though I am endorsing the plans. On the contrary, I am quite shocked and

disappointed by the draft plans. We have done consultation process after consultation process, survey after survey, only to get the same treatment - a preferred predetermined outcome that we are being shepherded towards. Closed, loaded and motherhood statement questions are consistent in the surveys. I was at the Deep Sea

Fishing Club consultation workshop in May 2018 and overwhelmingly everyone was against residential and tourist accommodation east of the railway line. We want increased and improved public open space just like those in Sydney. What we appear to be receiving is residential and tourist accommodation with a net loss of public open space and parking. I

find it difficult to see where the improvement is. As the urban density and population of Coffs Harbour and the Jetty increases, these public open spaces have increasing importance. This is recognised by the Premiers Priorities which includes the 'greener public spaces’ priority. "Quality green, open and public spaces are

Single-Use Plastics On The Way Out By Andrew VIVIAN NEXT week will see the NSW Government’s ban on lightweight plastic bags come into force. The Minister for Environment, James Griffin, said the lightweight plastic bag ban is the first of many plastic items being banned in NSW this year. “I think all of us can see the impact plastic pollution is having on our

Friday, 27 May 2022

environment, which is why we’re making major changes in NSW this year,” Mr Griffin said. “The ban on lightweight single-use bags comes into place from 1 June, and then from November, we’re banning more problematic plastics, such as cutlery and plates.” The NSW Government passed the ‘Plastic Reduction and Circular Economy Act 2021’ in November, and

introduced the Plastics Action Plan last year. The Government predicts the ban will prevent almost 2.7 billion items of plastic litter from entering the environment in NSW over the next 20 years. In addition to the 1 June lightweight plastic bag ban, from November the NSW Government is banning single-use plastic straws, stirrers, cutlery, plates, bowls and cotton buds, expanded

polystyrene food ware and cups and rinse-off personal care products containing plastic microbeads. So-called ‘compostable’ and ‘bioplastic’ alternatives to the above items are also being banned because they don’t biodegrade unless they are treated in an industrial composting facility, which creates as much of a problem as conventional plastic. The Minister for Small Business Eleni Petinos said

people to have babies – like subsidised childcare, family tax benefits, and legalised IVF (or test-tube babies). It’ll be interesting to see what the next three years have in store, with federal policies directly affecting the people of our Cowper electorate (and beyond). Regards, Richie TASSICKER, Toormina. Well done to all. Regards, Cheryl COOPER, Coffs Harbour.

use.

important to everyone…. Public spaces are … accessible and enjoyable by all for free.” I understand the railway land between Jordan Esp. and the railway line has been earmarked for open space parkland since the 2008 Plan of Management. Couldn’t Council follow through with the purchase of it as originally planned? Enhancing the Jetty Precinct for public use - there appears to be 3 Ps for priority: Parkland, Parking and Pedestrian

Why not shift Jordan esplanade into the railway lands and use the space to provide increased parkland, parking, and pedestrian walkways? Please respectfully listen to the community please give us our improved public open space. We don't want to lose our foreshores to residential development such as places like Foster because we will never get it back. Sincerely, Gerry MCGILVRAY, Coffs Harbour.

NEWS the NSW Government is supporting more than 40,000 businesses across NSW to phase-out single-use plastics. She said, “The NSW Government has worked with stakeholders to support small businesses to understand how they will be affected, how to comply with new laws and what alternatives they can use to single-use plastics.” Mr Griffin said, “Singleuse plastic items and

packaging make up 60 percent of all litter in NSW.” “By stopping the supply of problematic plastic in the first place, we’re helping prevent it from entering our environment as litter, or going into landfill. “We each have the power to make positive environmental change at an individual level, and I encourage everyone to choose to go plastic-free as often as they can,” he said.

Sea Turtles Released By Andrea FERRARI

HUNDREDS of Coffs Coast locals visited Sapphire Beach early last Wednesday morning (18 May) to see four sea turtles returned to the ocean. Since November last year, the green sea turtles have been recuperating at Dolphin Marine Rescue; Dolphin Marine Conservation Park's turtle hospice. This month, they were finally strong enough to hit the currents. Dolphin Marine Conservation Park team member Sarah Cahill explained how the sea turtles came into their care. "Thankfully, some conscientious community members noticed the sea turtles struggling or stranded on the beach, and they contacted us. “We have a team of trained volunteers to rescue sick and injured sea turtles and other marine wildlife. “Sometimes the turtles are injured, but these critters were suffering from 'float syndrome', a common condition we observe in local

sea turtles." Float syndrome is when gas accumulates in the sea turtle, which makes it difficult for them to dive underwater. If turtles can't dive, they can't hunt for food and quickly become exhausted and weak from lack of food. "Unfortunately, scientists don't know exactly why float syndrome happens,” Sarah said. “More research is needed to understand sea turtles and why float syndrome occurs to investigate preventative measures and tailor rehabilitation programs. “We care for over a

hundred of sea turtles every year. “When we accept rescued turtles into our rehabilitation facility, we provide a safe space for them to regain their strength, clean, warm seawater and nutritious food. “Eventually, the gas dissipates, and the turtles fully recover and are strong enough to go back to the ocean." After recent wild weather on the Coffs Coast, Dolphin Marine Conservation Park's team waited weeks for calmer weather and gentle seas to release the turtles. "Greg Pickering, our

longest serving marine team member and experienced volunteer, chose Sapphire Beach because he knows the area very well, and it was a good safe spot with a rocky reef off the beach, ideal for releasing the sea turtles. “We waited patiently for a good forecast and low swell and the weather last Wednesday was perfect."

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh congratulated Helen on her well-deserved award, saying it was an exciting moment for her and the entire community. “Helen is highly regarded and admired and she has been a wonderful ambassador for the Coffs Coast during these prestigious awards,” Mr Singh said. Helen has been a United Hospital Auxiliaries volunteer at Coffs Harbour Health Campus for the past 40 years and branch

President of the local UHA group, affectionately known as the Pink Ladies, for over 30 years. During that time, the Coffs Harbour Pink Ladies have donated more than $3 million in equipment to Coffs Harbour hospital. In accepting her Award, Helen thanked all the Pink Ladies she works with, saying they make her job easy. “Helen has tirelessly raised funds for medical equipment, staffed the hospital’s cafe and gift shop, and recruited, managed and inspired countless volunteers,” said Mr Singh. “Helen’s remarkable contribution to Coffs

Harbour Hospital can truly be regarded as going above and beyond.” Helen’s well-deserved recognition is cause for pride

throughout the community – and a magnificent achievement for a mighty volunteer.

Sophie and the store staff have been so welcoming to Kaitlan, making her feel a part of their team. “Daniel made Kaitlan a name tag and she wears it with pride.” The customers have been really kind and supportive of Kaitlan, always acknowledging her. “If we have concerns about Kaitlan’s safety but still want her to have the experience, we double up on her support to keep her safe and meet her needs.” Due to Kaitlan’s inability to communicate, Chris and her supports have tried many options and have watched to

see what she enjoys and what her interests are. “We don’t assume that due to her ability, she may not want to do some things.” There is always a way of communicating and understanding what Kaitlan is trying to communicate, says Chris. Chris’ philosophy is that by including Kaitlan in the community, it encourages inclusivity, encourages understanding and allows others to positively interact with someone with varying abilities. “Giving Kaitlan opportunities to choose her activities is very empowering

for her,” said Chris. Kaitlan attends Surfing for Disabled, she has been assisted to ride her modified bike to raise funds and awareness for autism Australia and Heart Kids. A sporty girl, Kaitlan is also assisted and encouraged to participate in triathlons and fun runs. She represented Toormina high school at Anzac Day services. Kaitlan also loves the activities at the Big Banana. “Her favourite ride is the toboggan; she particularly enjoys bossing others around and has a wicked sense of humour,” said Chris.

The Volunteer of the Year Award follows Helen’s success in December 2021, when she was named joint winner of the NSW Senior Volunteer of the Year. Over the past fifteen years, the Volunteer of the Year Award has become one of the biggest celebrations of volunteering throughout Australia.

NSW titles on the line in Grafton Speedway season finale By Aiden BURGESS

NSW titles will be on the line as Grafton Speedway holds its season finale this weekend. The Modified Sedans and Productions Sedans’ NSW titles will be decided during a big night of racing this Saturday. A quality field is set to contest the Modified Sedans state title, including Grafton driver and former Australian champion Max Clarke. Former Australian champions Kye Walters (2019) and Mark Carlin (2009, 2014 and 2015) will also be competing. Defending NSW Title

holder Aidan Raymont is unfortunately unable to compete due to race car damage. The Production Sedans state title will also be on the line this Saturday night. The NSW title is being held at Grafton after the event was cancelled earlier this month at Dubbo’s Morris Park Speedway due to the wet weather. It will be the second year in a row Grafton Speedway has hosted the class’s NSW title event. Last season’s state champion Joel Berkley will be out for back-to-back titles against a quality field

featuring current Queensland champion Daniel Henshaw, three-time Queensland champion Chris Pagel, Stuart Fawcett, youngster Jaiden Healey, and local hard chargers Jordan Biviano and Daniel Bridge. Due to the late addition of the NSW Production Sedan Title, the $3,000 Race of Champions event for the class has been rescheduled to next season. In addition to featuring the two NSW Titles, the season finale at Grafton Speedway will feature the RSA Street Stockers for the final Northern Rivers Rumble Series round, as well as RSA Four Cylinder Sedans, RSA Junior Sedans and the return of the Legend Cars.

flying start in the under 14s with a scintillating 78-0 win. The 18s continued the momentum with a narrow 15-10 victory and the women put on a dominant show, not conceding a point with a 30-0 win. Men’s first grade continued the momentum with a 34-0 win, with two tries from Dylan Bishop and

tries from Zac Cross, Stuart McVicar, Jacob Oxley and Carter Hoy. Whilst the scoreline looked convincing, it was another gruelling match in the mud for Snappers coach Brendan Hoy. “It was a tough slog, the scoreline didn’t reflect how hard we had to work for the win and our defence had to

running in traffic was top class. “We also blooded four under 18s off the bench, Cameron Mitchell, Blake Connell, Blake Ninness and Jared Howle, all of whom will be a big part of this club into the future.” The wet weather has wreaked havoc with the Snappers’ first round matches but the coach now believes the team are poised to gather momentum in the second round. “The club has had a hard first round but with first grade getting three wins out of five, with an abandoned game against the Marlins meaning we lost the opportunity to make it four. “This included three games in nine days which tested the depth of the club. “Snappers are the only club that does not have any catch up games at this point which will make it hard for the other teams and puts us in a good position as we enter the second round.” The local derby against the Marlins is one of the highlights of the rugby

NCF on fire in Lake Macquarie By David WIGLEY

NORTH Coast Football (NCF) made it four wins from four against the Weston Workers in the National Premier League last Saturday in Newcastle. The under 14s launched a remarkable comeback after being 3-0 down, scoring six goals in the second half to win 6-3 in a nine goal thriller. The under 15s had a convincing 4-0 win but the under 13s and 16s were forced to defend resolutely to hold onto their leads, winning 2-1 and 1-0 respectively. The results were all the more sweeter given player shortages from illness and injuries across the grades.

Head coach Alex Nolan shed light on the behind-thescenes juggling act. “With plenty of sickness and injuries it was always going to be a tough day down in Lake Macquarie,” he said. “It meant we had players playing large minutes and multiple games.” “While the 13s,15s and 16s all took early leads and managed the game well it was the under 14s who had to find a way to come back from three goals down. “A great second half display saw the u14s come from 0-3 to win 6-3 and the pleasing thing was that they didn’t panic. “They knew what they had to do and they

North Coast Football extend 2022 season due to wet weather By Aiden BURGESS

NORTH Coast Football has extended its 2022 season with many competitions to continue later into the year. The current season has been extended due to the recent wet weather and subsequent unavailability of

grounds, which has meant the postponement of numerous games. Unprecedented weather conditions have saturated many fields, forcing councils and clubs to close grounds and postpone matches. The initial season start was also pushed back from

early April until after Easter due to the wet weather conditions. Draws for all competitions are current only until the end of June and will be reframed for July, August and September to take into account required changes. North Coast Football’s

Tigers beat Saints in wet weather contest By Aiden BURGESS

THE Grafton Tigers have won their second match in a row to start the year beating the Sawtell/Toormina Saints by 28 points during the latest round of the AFL North Coast season. The Tigers earnt a hard fought 9.6 (60) to 4.8 (32) victory against the Saints in wet conditions at Richardson Park. A five goal first quarter from the Tigers helped them get the jump on the Saints and give them a 31-point lead at quarter time, a lead they would not relinquish in the match. The Tigers goal scoring

would dry up as the Saints matched them over the next three quarters in an even contest, but couldn’t quite get on the goal scoring run needed for the comeback victory. After giving up five goals in the first quarter, the Saints grinded it out in the wet conditions winning the territory battle in the second quarter but couldn’t create the necessary scoreboard pressure. The Saints ramped up the defensive pressure shutting down the Tigers for much of the last three quarters. The wet conditions made it tougher for clean ball use, as both sides showed

tremendous commitment to the contest in a bruising encounter with big collisions and constant physical clashes, where the territory battle and the contested ball were crucial. Saints coach Nic Morgan said he was pleased with the fighting spirit his players had shown. “I’m bloody proud of the guys for their fight in the last three quarters, that’s for sure,” he said. The AFL North Coast season continues this weekend with Round 6 matches scheduled in Woolgoolga and Grafton. The Northern Beaches Blues host the Coffs Harbour

Super Six Beaches Hockey Club juniors represent NSW By Aiden BURGESS

SIX Beaches Hockey Club juniors have proudly represented NSW at their respective national championships. Four girls played in their respective NSW teams, as Breah Fischer and Mackenna Ensbey represented NSW at the Hockey Australia Under 18 Championships in Cairns, while Molly Williams and Eliza Berrick represented NSW at the Hockey Australia Under 15 Championships in Newcastle. Max Miller and Levi Fischer also represented NSW in Newcastle in the under 15 boys state team. Mackenna Ensbey and Breah Fischer played in their fourth and fifth national championships respectively, while the other four representatives were making their debut for NSW. Breah Fischer said she enjoyed her time representing her state in Cairns. “Macca (Mackenna) and I had an awesome time up in Cairns,” she said. “The hockey was really fast and competitive and our teams performed really well. “We actually got to play each other as part of the classification rounds which was fun.

Friday, 27 May 2022

“Cairns is a great spot to visit and we managed to get out and explore the area as well.” Beaches Hockey Club president Jonathan Williams explained why both girls had represented NSW on multiple occasions. “I can see why Hockey NSW has always had a strong interest in these two girls,” he said. “They’re both incredibly fast, fit and skilful with a natural instinct for the game. “Breah is a defensive midfielder with a wonderful tackling technique and excellent vision. “Mackenna is more of an attacking midfielder with silky skills and a damaging tomahawk.” Williams described the tremendous skill sets of the four NSW debutants. “I’ve been coaching some of these kids for six or seven years now and it’s great to see their talents recognised,” he said. “Molly Williams is a natural ball-distributor with excellent vision and timing. “Eliza Berrick is incredibly fit, fast and tenacious around the ball. “Max Miller has the ability to turn a game on its head and Levi Fischer, well the world really is

his oyster. “He scored one of the goals of the tournament in Newcastle and I was privileged to be there to see it. “These kids all love their hockey and they’re a pleasure to coach, what more could we ask for?” The journey to play for NSW at the national championships all started at the age-based state championships in 2021, where initial ‘squads’ of 40 to 50 athletes were selected for three development camps in Sydney. The six players were put through their paces before state teams were announced for those that impressed the selection group. Hockey NSW Regional Coaching Coordinator, Leigh Macintosh, said the future was bright for Coffs Harbour hockey. “We’re really proud of what these kids have been able to achieve this year, they are future stars of the sport and it’s great to see their talents recognized with selection for NSW,” he said. “We continue to focus our efforts on junior development and growing the game in the local area and these five juniors are a great example of that. “We’ve got a crop of young players coming through the system and the future is extremely bright for the sport here in Coffs Harbour.”

Football Manager, AFL NSW/ ACT, thanked all clubs for getting involved in this year's Sir Doug Nicholls Round in 2022. “Thank you to all clubs in NSW and the ACT who acknowledged the Indigenous athletes who play footy and their impact on the game,” he said. “The annual celebration of Indigenous Round is a highlight on the calendar and

gives clubs the chance to lead, learn and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait people and culture.” Sir Doug Nicholls played 54 games for the Fitzroy Football Club in the VFL from 1932-37, and was the first Indigenous player to be selected to play for the Victorian representative team. He was also the first Indigenous Australian to

be knighted, and the first and so far only Indigenous Australian to be appointed to vice-regal office, serving as

The SCU Marlins sunk the Kempsey Cannonballs 3215 in the rain last Saturday at the Coffs Harbour Sport and Leisure Park. On a muddy day in Coffs Harbour, the powerful Marlins forward pack piled on the pressure, creating try scoring opportunities from rucks and mauls to notch up another victory for the men in blue.

Powerhouse forward Cam Smith was unstoppable at times, penetrating the Kempsey backline to score a try in the first half. Tries from Learoy Davis, Angus Hickey and Chris Wiggins sealed the points for the Marlins with Oli Canning kicking three conversions and two penalties. Marlins captain AJ Gilbert led from the front with immaculate passing

and weaving runs despite the difficult conditions for the backs. “It was definitely challenging conditions and not a great day to be an outside back,” he said. “However we still managed to play some really good rugby and scored some really good team tries. “Our forwards, particularly Cam Smith, Will Callen and Kea Pereira,

With the North Coast Force acting as the first step in the pathway to the Sydney Swans Academy, the players in the newly announced Youth Girls Under 13 rep team are on their way to becoming the region's next crop of AFLW players. The first Youth Girls Under 13 representative team comes on the back of AFL North Coast introducing a new Under 14 Youth Girls competition this season. Community Football Manager, Paul Taylor, said

that the formation of the rep team had come about much quicker than planned. "We definitely had plans to field an Under 13 girls rep team this year, but expected that we would have to wait until half way through the season once the girls had played more games and had the chance to realise how much they love footy and just how good they are," he said. "When we called for trials for the mixed Under 13 team in early April, we were overwhelmed with the number of girls who nominated for selection. “Since the club season has started, we've seen the

interest in rep footy grow week on week as the girls have played their club matches and realised just how much they love the sport." Taylor said it was exciting to announce the first ever Youth Girls Under 13 rep team. “It’s always an exciting time when we get to announce a rep team, but when that rep team is the first one of its kind, the excitement is even higher!” he said. “We’ve been blown away by the response to our new Youth Girls Under 13 rep team, so much so that we’ve brought our plans and timelines forward by about

two months. “This is a really great reflection of how much the girls are loving having their own girls only club competition to play in. “With this region having already produced three AFLW listed players, these girls are the latest to start out on that talent pathway.” Three former North Coast locals have been drafted to AFLW clubs with Nikki Wallace and Brianna McFarlane both being recruited by the Brisbane Lions, and Georgia Breward spending time on the Gold Coast Suns list. Following a selection trial, eighteen players were selected in the first North Coast Force Youth Girls Under 13 representative team. North Coast Force Youth Girls Under 13 representative team

were fantastic, as well as centres Marley Weller and Pete Uikulotu who were tough all day.” The win is perfect timing for their derby match against the Coffs Harbour Snappers on Saturday. “We are really starting to build some momentum and understand how we want to play, which is what we need for next week with another tough local derby on the cards,” said Gilbert.

Kelleher added a second when he won the ball on the half way line and ran the length of the pitch, dribbled past the goalkeeper and dinked the ball over the line to double the lead. Bellingen fought back in the second half and pulled a goal back with ten minutes to go. The animated supporters set the scene for a derby battle which Lions coach Glen Williams had anticipated. “It was a tough match, it’s always a tough match against those guys, we were expecting a battle,” he said. “I think we deserved to

be 2-0 up at half time but we always knew they would fight back in the second half, they don’t give up, that’s their nature.” “Their supporters always travel with them and you can hear them from the sidelines.” Whilst the Lions were putting together one-two passes it’s been a challenging time for coaches given the pitches have been closed for training. “It’s hard to work at combinations at training because there’s no fields, we’re just looking for onetwos and let the ball do work. “Next week we travel

down to Port Macquarie to face Port United, that’s always a tough trip, we’re just excited to be back playing again.” The Lions are in a rich

vein of form, winning all seven of their first round matches to go six points ahead at the top of the Coastal Premier League.

“With five minutes to go, Canada scored two quick goals which sent us to extra time. “Canada scored with ten minutes to go in the second half of extra time, then in the added time of extra time we won a penalty and I was told to take it with basically the last kick of the game. “I stepped up and slotted the penalty away and it was 3-3 and the game went to a penalty shoot-out. “Ultimately it ended 4-3 on penalties with me scoring my penalty in the shootout but it wasn’t enough as we lost to Canada. “All the boys were gutted with the result but we were still playing great football but were just unlucky.” The Pararoos’ next match was against the football powerhouse of Germany where Daniel scored the winning goal. “We had one more game against Germany for the eleventh and twelfth playoff game. “We started the game a bit slow but we started getting into it half way through the first half. “Then at the start of the second half we went down 1-0 and I got subbed on shortly after that and ended up scoring the winner against Germany in the 53rd minute to beat Germany 2-1.” The Pararoos finished the tournament in eleventh position and were buoyant about their style of play. “We didn’t get our single digit ranking that we were aiming for but all the lads should be very happy with our performances because we played good football throughout the whole tournament and the future is looking very bright for the Pararoos in the coming years,” said Daniel. Daniel will now swap the green and gold national jersey for his club colours of orange and black on Saturday as he represents the Coffs Coast Tigers in the men’s CPL.

Dream Debut! STORY STARTS on BACK COVER, Page 48 gave me a call on Tuesday, about two hours before the team list was released and told me I was in the team. “I was just getting a coffee, I was excited, overwhelmed with emotion and shaking a little bit, I was really stoked. “It felt like a dream come true, it came in waves of emotion, it’s been a rollercoaster.” The Sharks next play the Sydney Roosters on Saturday 28 May and the humble Olympian is ready to help the team in whatever role he can. “The fullback role will go back to Will Kennedy, he is an amazing player but if

there is a spot anywhere in the side that needs filling I will be happy to fill it if I am called upon. “Otherwise I will go back to Newtown until another opportunity arises and whenever they need me I will be there.” “Whenever Fitzy or the coaches need me, I’ll try my best to deliver. “(I’m) staying fit so when the opportunity does arise, to take it with both hands.” Miller learnt his craft playing community rugby on the Coffs Coast for the Sawtell Panthers, SCU Marlins and Coffs Harbour Comets before signing for the Australia Rugby Sevens team, where he competed at the Olympics. It was after the Tokyo Olympics that Miller decided

to switch codes and signed for the Cronulla Sharks. Miller explained the biggest challenge in making the switch was “knowledge of the game”. “I’ve been out of the game for five years or so and obviously the game has changed a lot and I’ve never played at this level in rugby league,” he said.

BARONS

ABC, 8.30pm

FRIDAY

THE LIVING ROOM

TEN, 7.30pm

You never know what to expect with this fun-loving lifestyle series – other than a generous serving of childlike shenanigans and playful banter between the presenters. Amanda Keller, Chris Brown (above centre), Miguel Maestre (above left) and Barry Du Bois (above right) have the kind of chemistry that morning-TV execs wish they could bottle, but it’s a meeting of minds that can’t be manufactured. This week, the segments run the gamut from silly and witty to heartfelt and thoughtful. Dr Chris Brown is with man’s best friend – coming to the rescue of a dog that needs a helping paw – and Miguel visits Batemans Bay NSW Fire Brigade to say thanks for their hard work during ﬁre season.

You could be forgiven for momentarily wondering whether you are watching Home and Away, or a commercial, rather than a well-acted ABC drama. Infused with a sun-kissed atmosphere and tales of drugs and drinking, Barons is not a hardhitting drama; rather it’s a nostalgic, soft focus look back on the heyday of ’70s surﬁng in Australia, polished oﬀ with great costuming and an excellent soundtrack. The Vietnam War is merely a backstory as we witness the implosion of a friendship and the birth of rival surfwear brands. Tonight, a tragedy will change Buddy (Lincoln Younes, right) forever as he and Shirley (Catherine Vån-Davies) get caught up in Mac’s (Kick Gurry) Bali dealings.

SCENIC COASTAL WALKS WITH KATE HUMBLE

SBS, 7.35pm

For many of us, the past few pandemicstained years have gifted us a new hobby: walking. This uplifting, visually gorgeous series takes pleasure in the simple act of walking and appreciating nature, and Kate Humble – a woman who has written a book on the subject – is the perfect presenter. Humble has said that “there is something about the rhythm of putting one foot in front of the other that does something really good to your brain,” and even just witnessing her wanderings is soothing for the soul. In tonight’s second season premiere, Humble visits an area of northwest Wales which is new to her, and spots one of her favourite rare 2705

LOCKY Miller’s dream NRL debut came true with a scintillating 60 metre try and an all round impressive performance helping the Cronulla Sharks back into the top four with a 25-18 victory over the Gold Coast Titans. The boy from Coffs Harbour seized the fullback opportunity with both hands as he absorbed everything the Gold Coast Titans threw at him and when the opportunity arose he pinned back his ears and ran 60 metres to score a spectacular try. Miller shared his try scoring experience with News Of The Area. “The ball bounced perfectly for me and the space opened up and my instinct was to start running and

over and I realised I had just achieved my dream. “That’s when it all sunk in and in front of my family and friends. “Unfortunately my dad was a bit sick and couldn’t make it, he was devastated, I had my beautiful partner there, my child, my mum, brother and a whole bunch of boys from Coffs Harbour. “It was a real special moment. “I have never had one like that before, with Rugby Sevens I’ve been travelling around the world so this was a really nice moment.” Miller signed for the Sharks eight months ago and has waited patiently for a first grade opportunity, putting in stellar performances every week for the Sharks' feeder club, the Newtown Jets. Miller shared the moment he learned of the call up to the first team which left him shaking. “Fitzy (Craig Fitzgibbon, Cronulla Sharks head coach)
