Youth on Track celebrates supporting 700-plus young people FROM Page 1 agencies including the NSW Police Force, the NSW Department of Communities and Justice, and NSW Health. Social Futures’ Youth on Track team leader Kiara McBeath said Youth on Track (YOT) is for young people who have had contact with the justice system or are at risk of contact with the system. “It is often the youth liaison officer appointed by police, who refers the young person to YOT. “The average age of participants is fourteen years,” she said. “These young people are often aware that they are heading in a direction that will take them to an unhappy place – incarceration. “Many of these young people want to change their lives, but just don’t know how.” Social Futures started delivering this program in December 2016, and have just enrolled their 725th participant.

In 2022–23, 100 percent of program participants had reduced their criminogenic behaviours at completion of the program. “We’ve seen young people estranged from their parents heal that relationship and return home,” Kiara told NOTA. “We’ve seen youth disengaged from school, catch-up with their studies and continue on to Year 12. “We've seen young men and women recognise unhealthy relationships with partners and peers that has led them to drug use and criminal behaviour. “They have made the decision to end those relationships and replace them with healthy life choices.” Kiara said many YOT participants coming into the program had received a formal warning from police or been charged with an offence, or the courts had placed them on a conditional release order in the community. Participants usually stay in YOT for twelve months. “Our YOT workers take a holistic

approach. “They listen to the young person with the aim of developing an understanding of every aspect of their life. “They will also connect the young person to the support services they need, such as psychologists, doctors or family counselling. “They will talk to them about what makes them vulnerable to offending, including friendships and drug and alcohol use, and becoming disengaged from school.” The result is many young people improving their relationships with family and school friends and choosing to distance themselves from peers who offend. The team said it is heartening to work with young people who rediscover their faith in the future and start setting life goals, like getting a rewarding job, travelling and having healthy relationships. The Coffs Harbour‒Grafton region has one of the highest program success rates in New South Wales.

EPA involved as concerns mount over sediment control in Oakes State Forest By Andrew VIVIAN

ONE of the major arguments mounted by the Kalang River Forest Alliance (KRFA) against logging in Oakes State Forest (SF) is the perceived danger to water sources. The Alliance, who claim that logging Oakes SF is "irresponsible", have lodged numerous complaints to the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA), and have only recently received a response. As previously reported in News Of The Area, Forestry Corporation NSW (FCNSW) has been constructing road works to and in Oakes State Forest and the Alliance is very concerned that these works could result in contamination of creeks and rivers. Under Coastal Integrated Forestry Operations Approvals (CIFOA), forest management in NSW forests is required to be ecologically sustainable. The KRFA notified the Environment Protection Authority that, in their opinion, road works conducted in Oakes SF breached the CIFOA and that FCNSW should have to vary its operations plan. The EPA responded, asking for detail about the alleged breaches and reasons why FCNSW might have to vary its plans. An EPA spokesperson told News Of The Area, “We are reviewing fresh information provided to us about concerns over sediment control in the Oakes State Forest which will form part of upcoming inspections. “The EPA has a strong compliance and enforcement program for native forestry and takes appropriate action where noncompliance with the law is identified.” The spokesperson also stated that broad-area habitat searches must be completed by FCNSW within six months of operations commencing.

A Forestry Corporation spokesperson said it has undertaken road works in Oakes State Forest to improve the roads ahead of a renewable timber harvesting operation. The spokesperson said the work has been done in line with the rules in the Coastal Integrated Forestry Operations Approval including drainage and sediment control to ensure there is no damage to waterways. Kath Kelly from the KRFA said there is “no doubt that disturbance of the soils will result in an irreversible water pollution

event in the Kalang River”. “The dust particles are so fine that the resulting sedimentation will smother all aquatic life, choke the river and degrade water quality and ongoing water security. “It is clear that the instability of the soils in the Kalang headwaters is totally unsuitable for any disturbance, let alone industrial scale logging in the headwaters. “We are seeking an immediate cessation of all road works and an end to logging in Oakes SF.”

The first group of Development Roundtables will be held in Broken Hill, Bega, Moree, Wagga Wagga, Orange, Maitland, Wyong and Coffs Harbour, with dates still to be announced. Minister for Regional

NSW and Western NSW Tara Moriarty said, “The NSW Government is committed to modernising the Regional Development Act so we can improve outcomes for regional and rural communities. “I’m looking forward to these roundtables and hearing the views of a wide range of people and organisations in each unique region.

The Minister will engage directly with local councils, businesses, community groups and stakeholders to hear first-hand the unique issues and solutions that arise in different regions. As part of the engagement process for upgrading the Regional Development Act, the NSW Government will publish an issues paper

outlining proposed changes to the Act. Community members will be able to provide feedback on the issues paper through the NSW Government Have Your Say online platform from November onwards. For information on the new Regional Development approach, visit nsw.gov.au/ regionaldevelopment.

Equipment stolen from cricket club By Andrea FERRARI

ON Friday 13 October 2023, the eve of the first game of the Coffs Coast Cricket Senior Men’s season, the Northern Districts Rebels Cricket Club issued a call-out for public assistance following the theft of irrigation and watering equipment from the main sporting oval at Wiigulga

Sports Complex, worth several hundred dollars. “The equipment is used to water the new cricket pitch and oval,” the Club’s Vice President Taj Dosanjh told News Of The Area. Proud of their home ground, Taj said, “This cricket pitch is the first ever turf pitch curated at this oval.” Between 7:30pm on

media@newsofthearea.com.au

Thursday 12 and 9am on Friday 13 October 2023, items were stolen from the main sporting oval. “The club and members were deeply upset by the loss, especially after the hard work the club members have done to get this oval ready for tomorrow's first game,” he said. Taj and his club mates

were determined to turn their downcast mood into one of positivity. “Morale was high during Saturday’s game and this loss of property certainly made the players more determined to play well and in the spirit of the game, for the community, sponsors and club members.” The players were also cheered on by the Woolgoolga United Football Club women’s side who were out celebrating their end of year success. A club spokesperson described the scene. “The ladies team rode into

the ground in a sea of bright colours, watching Taj Dosanjh take an amazing catch on the boundary and giving their loud cheers and ringing their bike bells to celebrate his athletic effort. “The Rebels bowled first as Nana Glen were restricted to 157 from their 40 overs.” The wickets were shared around among the bowlers, but Lindsay Mamone stood out with a wicket from his first ball, finishing with two wickets. “The chase got off to a rough start and the Rebels

found themselves at 3/60. “Anu Grewal 56* and Taj Dosanjh 43* saw the boys home with seven wickets in the shed and 14 overs to spare,” said the spokesperson. The incident of the robbery has been reported to local police who are investigating the theft. The Northern District Rebels Cricket Club has asked anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 quoting the police report number E 170467702 with any further information.

Fourth break-in to Men’s Shed caught on camera The series of break-ins began on Sunday 1 October. While this first break-in was the costliest in terms of cash stolen and repairs required to make the shed secure, the major cleanups were needed after the second and third break-ins due to graffiti, fire extinguishers being discharged and vandalism throughout the shed. The shed has 800 square metres (sqm) of floor space on the ground level and 190 sqm of floor space on the mezzanine. The second clean up on Saturday 7 October saw

AN unbelievable fourth break-in at the Coffs Harbour Men’s Shed on Saturday night, 21 October, has seen the new security camera working to purpose, recording a clear video of the thieves in the throes of breaking and entering, copies of which are now with the local police. “Hopefully the perpetrators can be found, and the matter can take its course in the legal system and the Men’s Shed can get back to normal,” Coffs Harbour Men’s Shed Assistant Treasurer Ken Ryan told News Of The Area. Until this fourth attack, recovery from the shocking events of the previous three break-ins and vandalism was going well, bolstered by the generosity and kindness shown to the men by the local community. “Just walking through Coffs with my Men’s Shed shirt on, people are stopping me and offering support and kindness having heard about the incidents,” said Ken. “On Friday morning we received an envelope from a local couple, Margot and Ian, and inside we found a cheque for $1,000,” he said. “We were blown away by their kind gesture.”

thirteen members working all day to remove graffiti and dust from the discharged fire extinguisher. The broken windows needed to be boarded up and repairs to damaged computers and equipment needed to be attended to. On Tuesday 10 October, after the third break in, several members toiled all day to once again clean up. “We had a pleasant surprise when a phone call to Banana Coast Seafoods, to order a large supply of fish and chips to feed the dedicated members, was supplied free of charge,” said Ken.

q Cleaning up the powder from the discharged fire extinguisher has taken several days.

q Socialising over ‘smoko’ keeps the men on track and dealing with the emotional side effects of the violation of their shed.

“A wonderful gesture by Banana Coast Seafoods.” Naturally, the morale of the members has been severely affected by the recent acts of theft and vandalism. “It is going to take months for the members to relax and attend to the shed without the apprehension of another break in. “It is a tribute to their

resolve and enthusiasm to have the shed back to a near normal operating condition after two weeks.” Coffs Harbour Men’s Shed members thank the Coffs Harbour community for its support and encouragement. “Local businesses have offered financial support, including Keith Logue & Sons, who paid for the installation

of security screens over all the external windows and another business has donated a PC monitor. “We are very pleased we installed the security cameras which are monitored off-site,” said Ken. A security company has been engaged to advise on any further action the Men’s Shed can take.

in Kempsey and the Glens Creek Rd fire in the Clarence Valley. “The Parberry Spur Road fire is more than 1100ha in size and contained to the Conglomerate State Forest,” Inspector Sandra Huer said on Monday. “Firefighters continue to work round the clock to prevent this fire from spreading to private property in the surrounding area. “It is inspiring to see volunteers and staff from multiple fire agencies sharing skills and resources to bring this fire under control.”

Due to fire activity and the levels of soil dryness across the Coffs Harbour and Bellingen LGAs, fire permits across Coffs Coast Team are suspended until further notice. Fire permits will only be reinstated after a significant amount of rain has fallen, to reduce the risk to the community. “I acknowledge that this may be an inconvenience to some landholders, however with the landscape being so dry and volatile, this is not the time for burning.” For further information please contact the Coffs Coast Fire Control Centre on 6651 6133.

Fire permits suspended across Coffs Harbour and Bellingen

OVER the last week, members of the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) Coffs Coast Team have been tirelessly working on fire operations, in collaboration with Forestry Corporation and National Parks and Wildlife Service. A key focus has been the control and containment of the Parberry Spur Road fire within the Conglomerate State Forest, as well as providing assistance to neighbouring districts with the Willi Willi Rd fire

Bhakrodi To Woolgoolga: One grandfather’s dream of building a life in Australia By Andrea FERRARI

AN important book of legacy for the Indian population of Australia was launched to Woolgoolga’s Indian community at the town’s Sikh Museum opposite The Guru Nanak Sikh temple on Sunday 22 October. The book tells the story of Moti Husna’s arrival from the Punjab to Northern Queensland in 1899 and the following migration of many family members and whole communities intent on building a “better life” in Australia. With moves back to the Punjab and returns to Australia, Moti finally settled in Woolgoolga and the family grew from there with many direct descendants and tendrils of ancestors still living and working in the region, several of whom attended the book launch. The book, ‘Bhakrodi To Woolgoolga’, was written by Len Kenna and Crystal Jordan from the Australian Indian Historical Society. Both attended the launch, with Len introducing the speakers. During their participation in the research for photographs for the Sikh Museum in Woolgoolga, Len and Crystal were asked by the

curators to find a presentable photograph of Moti. A search ensued, taking them down a rabbit hole which delivered a fascinating history of the first Sikhs in Australia. Another seed was sown for the book’s writing by a passing comment from Woolgoolga woman Rashmere Bhatti, who wrote what became a revered and respected historical reference book, ‘A Punjabi Sikh Community in Australia: from Indian sojourners to Australian citizens’. The pair took up the baton

to pen the pioneering path pursued by Moti of the earliest Punjabi arrivals. “This book is about one grandfather’s dream of building a life in Australia,” Woolgoolga businessman John Arkan told News Of The Area. “It demonstrates the resilience of the people coming off the ships in the mid-late 1800s, mostly young men. “My grandmother and her three sons were a rare inclusion on those early ships as men did not usually bring

their families. “It’s about telling the truth for our future generations, knowing their Sikh heritage and family background.” Another local, Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh told NOTA, “It’s an important book for our children. “Thanks to our forefathers who took the risks for us to have a better life here in Australia.” Gurmesh’s grandfather,

Pritam, is mentioned in the book, along with references to Bella Singh, his great grandfather. Moti lived a dual existence, bringing Sikh traditions and Punjabi farming skills to Australia and returning to his Indian village of Bhakrodi (Kishanpura) to support the villagers through philanthropic works. Described as an historical study, Len and Crystal worked

closely with Moti’s family members, in particular Kirpal Husna, his grandson, who still lives in Woolgoolga and spoke at the book launch. Everyone attending the launch was presented with a copy of the book. For copies and further information email the Australian Indian Historical Society at australianindianhistory@ gmail.com.

Sapphire wins Zonta STEM scholarship By Andrea FERRARI

SAPPHIRE Stewart, a project officer with the Coffs Harbour Bypass team, has been announced as the 2023 Zonta International Women in STEM scholarship winner. The scholarship encourages women to pursue education, career opportunities and leadership roles in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Sapphire’s application, which had already won the Zonta Club of Coffs Harbour Inc award, was judged against others from the 25 Zonta clubs in District 24, which covers most of NSW and ACT. “Each of the 31 global Zonta Districts submits one application for consideration for an international scholarship,” Jenny Wiseman, Zonta Club of Coffs Harbour told News Of The Area. A single candidate from each of Zonta’s 31 Districts receives an award of US$5000 from Zonta International. “Sapphire, as the Zonta

District 24 winner, was awarded an international scholarship, and is therefore one of just three Australian STEM scholarship winners, and one of 31 awardees from 20 countries.” To qualify for nomination, applicants need to be pursuing a science, technology, engineering or mathematics degree program at an accredited university, and demonstrate outstanding potential in the field.

Box ticked for Sapphire who is in her third year of a Bachelor of Engineering Systems – Civil (Honours) at Southern Cross University. “Sapphire was highly praised by both her academic advisor and employment supervisor.” Her exemplary recent track record includes her full time employment since 2021 as a project officer on the Coffs Bypass project, as well as being a member of

A feature of many of the applications was a desire to change career direction, often later in life, and often to a more challenging and meaningful career.

Topsy, and of course we can’t go past Woody Herman singing Woodchopper's Ball,” said Lorraine. “Apart from being entertained and enjoying a lovely morning tea, you can join in physically or just move whilst sitting.” The fun begins at 10am and goes through to 12-noon.

Shawn Bergquist, the General Manager of Legacy on Victoria Coffs Harbour, said that providing training is one aspect of the recruitment process. “While we have been doing this in the past, we need to build on it.” He said that people from a wide variety of backgrounds can make good carers. “People that are kind make the best carers – it really is that simple.” Legacy on Victoria

A COURSE to run shortly in Coffs Harbour at NV College will aim to reduce staff shortages currently impacting the aged and community care sector. NV College Training Manager Enrico Fabian said the Care Ready course will introduce people to the care industry and give them a ‘taster’ of what working in the sector is like. This course covers residential care settings, in home-based personal care, and disability care. “Local care providers are struggling to get qualified staff, so it is important to get as many people interested as possible in the course. “The key to reducing staff shortages is to provide training to skill up those who want to work in the sector. “The more people we can train in the care industry, the more qualified

$16 million for Crown reserve improvements APPLICATIONS are now open for $16 million in NSW Government funding to maintain and improve Crown

land reserves for the use of communities across the state, with $14 million in grants and $2 million in loans on offer.

MERGING to become one entity, Coffs Regional Community Gardens Association (CRCGA) and Community Use Permaculture Space Inc. (CUPS) members have agreed on a common set of goals which seed a bright future for the gardening group. The merged group will develop multiple garden sites beyond the current Coffs Regional Community Garden in Combine Street as well as adopt permaculture design and education principles. “CUPS Inc did a lot of design and consultation around the Brian Navin Park site that is still under consideration with City Of Coffs Harbour,” founding member and president of CUPS Inc, Peter Lewis, told

to use Crown reserves across NSW, as well as commons and also showgrounds on freehold land. CRIF grants and loans support projects that can deliver social, cultural, environmental or economic benefits to local communities. They help maintain and upgrade reserves and facilities on them so residents can use and enjoy them, and also protect areas of important environmental land. Grants also support weed and pest management projects to ensure we have healthy public reserves that help protect native plants and animals from invasive species. Minister for Lands and Property Steve Kamper said, “Crown reserves support communities by protecting the environment and providing open spaces and facilities for parks, ovals, walking, cycling, camping and other sports and recreation activities, to keep communities healthy and happy. “They also provide land

News Of The Area. “The combining of the two groups can reduce admin and infrastructure costs and still achieve the goals of establishing and maintaining community gardens across the city of Coffs Harbour. “The expansion means we can negotiate with Council to develop mini veggie garden plots and micro sites across the city,” he said. Taking inspiration from the successful implementation of gardens of all shapes and sizes being fitted into cities around the world, Peter noted, “Other cities have areas as small as a few square meters with a raised garden bed, a park bench and a few herbs or fruit trees that are maintained and utilised by neighbours. “It saves Council money to have locals care and nurture these small plots and generates great community engagement that reduces anti-social behaviour and encourages community

for community organisations and assets like showgrounds, public halls, scouts and girl guide groups, surf life saving clubs, racecourses and more. “These grants will help ensure local community land continues to prosper into the future.” Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh strongly encourages eligible local organisations to investigate funding opportunities. “This funding is essential to look after and improve community, recreational and tourism facilities,” said Mr Singh, Shadow Minister for Tourism, Emergency Services and the North Coast. “There is $14 million worth of grants and $2 million in loans on offer, which could go a long way to fund essential projects across our region. “Thanks to the former NSW Coalition Government, community facilities across the Coffs Coast have benefited from this important program in recent years and I’m confident this will continue.” For further information and to apply visit reservemanager.crownland. nsw.gov.au/funding/crif connections across age demographics.” The CRCGA members are actively encouraging multicultural gardeners and hope to develop further ways to bridge cross-cultural connections using ethnically diverse food, cooking and vegetable knowledge. “We’ll be looking for the support and guidance from Council to consult and implement community land that serves the needs of local neighbours.” The benefit of the collaboration for CUPS Inc is the hard work of many years of establishing infrastructure by CRCGA members that has gone into the Combine Street community garden. “The expanded group has a bright future ahead,” said Peter. At the AGM, Peter Lewis was elected president of CRCGA after Phil Connor stepped down after five years of service.

Doepel descendants gather for family reunion By Susan KONTIC

IN 1870 a young Finnish seaman named Carl Frederik Doepel jumped ship in Sydney and found his way to the Bellinger River. Fred, as he was generally known, met Mary Ann McNally and they married in 1886, with a family of nine children to follow. “In his twenties he had a sawmill and logged cedar on the NSW north coast, also building boats to transport timber down the coast

to Sydney,” Fred’s greatgrandson Terry Bleakley told News Of The Area. One of his boats, a topsail schooner named the ‘Violet Doepel’ after his eldest daughter, sank in heavy weather in 1905 off Mylestom beach, then known as North Beach. He also built the schooners ‘Surprise’ in 1884 and the ‘Bellinger’ in 1886 plus two steamships, the ‘SS Bellinger’ and the ‘SS Doepel’, as well as several river droghers, but his best-known

ship was the ‘Alma Doepel’, which is currently being restored in Melbourne. Last weekend, on the 120th anniversary of the launching of his renowned ‘Alma Doepel’, more than 200 descendants of Fred and Mary Ann gathered in Mylestom for a family reunion. “We decided that would be an appropriate date for the reunion,” explained Cathy, one of the organisers, “but perhaps the main reason was to get together as a family for something other than

funerals. “The last official reunion was 45 years ago in 1978, so it was great to meet and renew acquaintances after so long.” The reunion was more than two years in the planning, and attracted family members from Darwin, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and dozens of places in between. Doepel descendants started arriving mid-week and on Friday morning about 160 people joined the informal get-together in Alma Doepel Park. Saturday night saw more than 200 people at the Mylestom Hall for dinner and a number of exciting highlights, starting with the launch of Mark Fiess’s new book, ‘The Bellinger and Frederik Doepel’. Then, in a perceptive speech that resonated with the audience, Mark Doepel emphasised the legacy of family, place and belonging.

David Doepel’s display of beautiful handmade models of the ‘Alma Doepel’ drew plenty of attention and offered insights into the reasons this ship was so special. And what’s a family reunion without a slideshow? Matthew Doepel compiled a collection of photos spanning the years that prompted both groans and laughter while giving younger family members a glimpse of the simple yet idyllic holiday fun previous generations experienced along the beach. The party continued on Sunday when local Mylestom residents were invited to join the descendants of Frederik Doepel at North Beach Recreation and Bowling Club to view some historical footage of the town and surrounding areas as they were between 1949 and 1980. And there was more to come on Tuesday as they got together at Cahill's Wharf

at Bellingen to mark the anniversary of the launching of the ‘Alma Doepel’. The family thanks Norm Boreham from Alma Doepel Appreciation Society for his attendance and also Boambee Bay Resort for the loan of two large canvases of the ‘Alma Doepel’. Ted Bleakley, son of early pioneer Violet Doepel, was a keen recorder of his family holidays and his collection was passed on to his eldest son Terry, who digitised the collection and edited the films to 80 minutes of footage of North Beach and surrounding areas as they were all those years ago: bare dunes, various versions of the swimming baths, the old tennis court, grass-skiing at Repton and much more. Older family members, many now grandparents, reminisced about their experiences “packed into a station wagon for the twoday trip north to Grandma’s bungalow”. They recalled faces covered in pink zinc, building cubbies in the sandhills and paddling on logs. They laughed at memories of mosquito nets draped over old cast-iron beds and snakeskins hanging from the roof, and there was always someone to play with – brothers and sisters, and cousins galore. “Ted Bleakley and his brother Bob captured parts of their early life on film and continued to film their own families,” said Terry. “Their legacy is not just the invaluable record of family life, but a reminder to us of our amazing good fortune in having wonderful parents and a joyful upbringing.”

International multicultural festival launches in Coffs

q The committee and contributors who will bring the International Food and Dance Festival to Coffs Harbour.

By Andrea FERRARI

THE International Food and Dance Festival 2023 launches at Coffs Harbour’s Cavanbah Hall on Saturday 11 November. This passion project, developed by a group of Coffs Harbour residents from different cultures, is a free event that aims to increase and improve relationships among multicultural groups and the wider Coffs Harbour community. Spokesperson for the group, local retail businessman Htun Htun Oo, told News Of The Area the day will begin around 10.45am with a Welcome to Country by a local Elder. There will then be a minute’s silence for Remembrance Day and brief speeches by City of Coffs Harbour Councillor Tony Judge and Mayor Paul Amos. Then it’s song and dance time. Beginning with a Balinese welcoming dance, the morning rolls out with a

Kachin dance, drum playing, Philippine community dance, Thai traditional dance, and Kurdish string Tanbour music and singing. A multicultural buffet lunch follows at around 12:30pm. “Then we have Indonesian Balinese dance, Burmese dance, Philippine community dance, Thai traditional dance, Arabic dance and music/ drumming,” said Htun, who will close the event around 2.30pm. The Victory drum will play at the end of the event. Food and drink has been donated from the following communities and shops with more promised: Brazzo restaurant (Myanmar community), Aloydee Thai restaurant (Myanmar community), Win’s Thai Kitchen, Ko Zaw Min’s family (Myanmar and Malaysian community), Htun Htun Oo’s family and Tko To’s family (Myanmar and Malaysian community), Phyu (Vietnamese community), Maseh’s family (Afghanistan community),

Hannah (Indian community), Vietnam Journey, Ms Tea Bubbletea, and other individual donors. “All of us who have come to Coffs Harbour from other countries are very grateful that Coffs Harbour is a city which welcomes multicultural communities, refugees and all those who have come to this wonderful area from other places,” said Htun. “We have seen the many events and festivals which have taken place in the Coffs Coast area over the past twenty years. “We believe that it is very important for all Coffs Harbour communities to celebrate diversity, to accept our differences, and to share our stories as a means of delivering and building harmony and peace within Coffs Harbour’s broader society. “We believe that diversity is an aspect of human existence which adds immeasurably to society as a whole, and so should be celebrated by the whole of society.

“Societal acceptance of multiculturalism will not only bring us closer together but enrich our society in many ways. “It is our goal to ensure that every day will be a harmonious day for all of us. “We will march forward together by acknowledging, caring, loving, respecting and sharing all our values, traditions, cultures, beliefs, faiths and principles, as well as respecting and following

the laws of the land.” Working with the group, President of Coffs Harbour Labor, Tony Judge told NOTA, “This is such an exciting event and I hope it’s the first of many. “Our culturally and linguistically diverse communities have so much to offer Coffs Harbour. “The diversity of cultures, experiences and outlooks on life are making Coffs a more cosmopolitan

and interesting place to live and visit. “They are a constant reminder that our region is so much more than just beaches and a famous banana.” Booking is essential as tickets are limited due to the limited availability of space. Visit www. trybooking.com/events/ landing/1123098.

was beautifully demonstrated. “The images were inspiring and a joy to look at. “Anything with wings birds and insects - can create a huge ‘wow’ factor for the judges. “There were some dramatic black and white photos too. “Well done contributors.” Thanks go to the major sponsors Coffs C.ex Club, Camera House Coffs Harbour and to C.ex Coffs Camera Club members for assisting with organisation of this event. “Particularly Annie Brauer who has been heavily involved in the organisation of the event since its inception in 2002,” said Michael. “Thanks to the Bunker Gallery, coordinator Carolyn Roelofs and volunteer staff for hosting, preparing the display and supplying food and drinks.”

On 4 November 2023, the festival will be hosted at Bellwood Park in Nambucca, featuring a day of music, speeches and community togetherness. Distinguished guests and speakers at the event will include renowned environmentalist and Bob Brown Foundation founder, Dr Bob Brown. “It is people power, based on the fact that most Australians want the bulldozers and chainsaws out of native forests, that will save the koalas and greater gliders,” Bob Brown said. “In doing so, we will also save a deep, important part of our own souls and honour our children’s right to have

FIVE Automated

Defibrillators (AEDs) have been donated to Coffs Harbour Health Campus thanks to monies raised at

Silks Trust (PST), which then distributes donations to health organisations that support women. The Pink Silks Trust Committee decided on the five AEDs, costing $16,000, due to the recent increase in the size of the hospital’s footprint. Pink Silks Trust Committee Chair and cofounder Tanya Johnson OAM said, “The medical staff really wanted greater access to portable AEDs to help anyone having a heart attack. “With more than 500 inpatients, their visitors as well as staff, on site at any one time, it is possible someone, somewhere on site will have a heart attack. “These AEDs make it very easy for anyone to start basic life support before medical emergency responders from the Intensive Care Unit arrive.”

The next two fundraising events are the Pink Silks Trust Golf Day on Friday 12 January 2024 and the Pink Silks Trust Ladies Charity Race Day on Sunday 14 January 2024. As these major fundraisers draw nearer, Tanya said the charity’s latest purchase was a timely reminder that donations, such as the AEDs, cannot happen without community support. To be involved with Pink Silks and the work it does locally, check the Trust’s website for contact details or follow their socials. To be a beneficiary for funds and increase the awareness of specific work with women in the local area, contact the Pink Silks Trust through the website or social media.

Collectors' treasure trove By Andrea FERRARI

AN antique typewriter is amongst the trove of treasures on sale at the Trash & Treasure Market on Saturday 28 October at the Coffs Harbour Leagues Club on Stadium Drive. Doors open at 9.00am. There will be 25 market stalls offering a wide range of items such as antique jewellery, vintage linen, pottery, household goods, craft items, antiques and collectables, books, plants, bric-a-brac and much more. Most items will be ticketed but if buyers wish to barter, the organisers suggest making an offer. “There is no harm in asking, as many of the market traders are avid collectors and are keen to downsize and would like to see their stalls cleared,” Coffs Collectors Club Secretary Ingrid Gardiner told News Of The Area. Some hobbyists will be selling their lovingly created craft items, plants and recycled timber items. Market traders will be present, and the White Elephant stall has some fabulous donated items. There will be plenty to peruse and lots of bargains. “Many local collectors are looking for that odd plate or cup to complete

Fair to be held on the last weekend of June 2024. A special Gala Opening is planned for the Friday evening, with general trading over the weekend along with some incredible displays of individual collections. “The members of the Collectors Club lnc. are very excited with this new venture which will take the 28th Annual Collectors Fair to a new level,” said Ingrid.

Disabled surfing on board for another season By Andrea FERRARI

WITH the yellow and red flags up, and the surfing season in full swing, Disabled Surfing Association Mid North Coast (DSA) is back on the boards with the announcement of 2023/2024 supervised surfing dates. On Saturday 28 October the DSA season kicks off at Coffs Jetty. Always on a Saturday, further DSA events take place on 25 November at Woolgoolga, 6 January at Coffs Jetty, 3 February at Woolgoolga and 2 March at

Coffs Jetty. “Our days are free for those who wish to come along,” DSA committee member Richie Goddard told News Of The Area. “We've been fortunate to have people come from inland communities like Armidale who come down for the day and even go as far as turning their visit into a weekend in our community.” The DSA days bridge the gap between the disability and mainstream communities through socialising and forming friendships. “Having said that, many

The surfing wraps up around 11:30am, followed

by a presentation and a free BBQ hosted by Coffs Harbour Rotary Club for the Jetty days and Woolgoolga Lions for the Woolgoolga days.

TurtleWatch calls on citizen scientists By Andrea FERRARI

IT’S TIME to be on the lookout for sea turtle activity along the eastern coastline as the 2023 nesting season kicks off. NSW TurtleWatch’s Project Officer Merryn Dunleavy said walkers, surfers, and swimmers should be aware that they might be sharing the beach with a nesting sea turtle. “Green and loggerhead turtles are listed as threatened species and are heavily impacted by threats including climate change, so it is important to do what we can to protect each and every nest,” said Merryn. “If you're at the beach and spot sea turtle tracks or, even more exciting, discover a nest, please take lots of photos and call NSW TurtleWatch immediately on 0447 877

149 or the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) on 1300 072 757.” NSW TurtleWatch Project Officer Holly West, who grew up in Coffs Harbour, told News Of The Area the Coffs Coast had witnessed multiple sea turtles come ashore and lay their eggs over the years. “One lucky local even spotted a female green sea turtle returning to the ocean on Woolgoolga Back beach in 2019,” Holly said. “Other key areas that sea turtles have visited are Hearnes Lake, Moonee and Bongil Beach. “Those nests that have been reported and monitored by volunteers have shown some great hatching success, like a nest on Moonee Beach that had 75 hatchlings and a 81 percent hatch success rate. “With some amazingly beautiful, untouched

coastline, the Coffs Coast may provide suitable habitat for nesting turtles in the face of climate change,” Holly said. Merryn reminds beach users to exercise caution and not to intrude on turtle territory. “It is important that the nests are not interfered with, by people or dogs, so early detection is vital to ensure the protection of these precious nests and the future generation of sea turtles snuggled within,” she said. The 2022-23 nesting season saw three sea turtle nests laid outside the generally recognised nesting range. “If this southern nesting trend continues, we’ll need more volunteer citizen scientists than ever before to canvass this large expanse of coastline and report any turtle nest activities.”

q A green turtle that came ashore on Woolgoolga Back beach. Photo: Alex Groot.

Reporting a turtle nest can be the difference between life and death for sea turtle eggs. Turtle nests are vulnerable to a range of threats including predation, high tides, and erosion. “The sooner we are notified, the quicker we can get down to the beach

18 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

and physically protect and monitor the nest until it hatches,” said Merryn. Anyone can be a citizen scientist and help protect sea turtles and their hatchlings. All you need to do is walk your local beach early in the morning, as sea turtles generally nest during the night.

Keep your eyes peeled for any tracks in the sand, which are usually 80-100cm wide and can sometimes be mistaken for tire tracks. Take your phone with you so you can quickly call NSW TurtleWatch or NPWS if you see any signs of turtles, tracks or a nest.

Ten years of VoiceUp By Andrea FERRARI

VOICEUP Australia, a group working to provide support, education and advocacy to survivors with unresolved trauma, have celebrated a decade of speaking up, speaking out and breaking the tyranny of silence. A project of Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre (CHNC), VoiceUp ‘members’ marked the ten year milestone on Saturday 21 October with a day of connection through yoga, art, a celebration lunch and information on managing triggers of trauma pathways. Gathered together on Saturday 21 October made for a celebration of ten years of voluntary work. It grew from a social worker

and a couple of community development workers with lived experience who recognised the need for an organic community development approach to support survivors with unresolved trauma. This arose because of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse from 2013-2017. Neighbourhood centres were identified as the safest places to operate this supportive group experience. “VoiceUp Australia works to lift the veil of silence that surrounds violation - sexual, emotional and physical - in all its forms,” Chris Marks, a Victims of Crime Approved Counsellor and VoiceUp spokesperson told News Of The

Area. “Our focus is on speaking up, exploding the myths and raising awareness about the long-term impacts of unresolved trauma for adults and their families.” Saturday’s ten-year celebration began with a Welcome to Country. Participants then did a yoga session with Mel Fajerman followed by a creative art workshop with Shelle Cowan and Meg Johanson. Mel is a facilitator for Trauma Centre Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), a clinical intervention for complex trauma or chronic, treatment-resistant post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Trauma Sensitive Yoga moves beyond traditional talk therapies that focus on the mind, by bringing

the body actively into the healing process through mindfulness, sensory integration, movement and breath. “By focusing on the felt sense of the body to inform choice-making, TCTSY supported participants to explore their connection of mind and body and cultivate a sense of agency that is often compromised as a result of trauma,” Mel Fajerman said. The expressive art workshop provided participants with the freedom to use paints to bring a joy to sensory and “no big deal” creativity. “(It’s about) freeing up expectations and moving to joyfulness, something that many survivors had ‘no time for’ in their struggle to survive from violation,” explained Shelle Cowan, an Aboriginal Trauma Specialist. Everyone joined together for lunch at Pete's Place where conversation focused on participants sharing what VoiceUp means to them. Cassandra said, “VoiceUp has changed my life. “Each day that goes by in the VoiceUp community creates a greater sense of identity and a desire to engage in life with more empowerment, fulfillment and love.” Leash said, “I have been to a couple of sessions to support my sister who is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. “Being here to walk this healing journey, support survivors, to listen with respect to the group members

feels like an incredibly important part of the work of VoiceUp, to break the silence and heal the traumas. “Being in community with others in a collective care and hearing the impact and power of VoiceUp for individuals and to notice the ripple effect in families and communities.” Carolyn said, “VoiceUp has enabled me to acknowledge, accept and move forward in my journey of healing childhood trauma.” Meg said, “VoiceUp has provided me with a safe, welcoming and nonjudgemental space to find my voice after childhood sexual abuse. “I have found that attending regular VoiceUp groups/meetings has given me the opportunity to be with those who share my lived experience, and I don’t feel so alone. “I have also received lots of information that helps me in my daily life.” Gai Newman shared an important reason why the project is called VoiceUp. “We know that silence and coverups by families, organisations and the broader community contribute to re-traumatising children and adults,” said Gai. “No more secrets, voice up, break the silence.” To contact Helpline Support call 1800737732, Blue Knot Helpline 1300657380 and/or CHNC Coordinator 02 6648 3694.

WHAT'SVIBIN'

ENTERTAINMENT EATERY

Inaugural Atman Yoga Festival comes to Bellingen WITH a dream of bringing people together to connect and uplift the community, the Atman Yoga Festival is coming to the Bellingen Showgrounds from 17 -19 November. “With over 20 different yoga teachers sharing their unique gifts, from Acro to Kundalini, Tantra and Vinyasa, Lyengar and Kirtan, there is something for everyone,” said festival organiser Crystal TredinnickDawson. “Markets and music to top it all off. “Camping at the showgrounds with all the amenities available, too,” Crystal said. Atman is a Sanskrit word that refers to the true self or the self-existent essence of each individual. The term atman is derived from the Sanskrit word ātman, which literally means “essence” or “breath”. “It is our individual essence, solely pure consciousness, the self-existent essence of individuals, as distinct from ego,” Crystal said. “It is considered the ultimate goal of yoga to reach the atman, to yolk ourselves, so that we unravel the layers, the koshas, to the essence of our truest and best versions of self, living our very best lives.” Crystal said the festival is a great opportunity for yoga beginners and more experienced practitioners, with much more than ancient meditative practice on offer. “We have a stellar line up featuring Kirtan Bellingen on Friday night and Lulu and Mischka in concert with percussion Saturday night,” Crystal said. The festival will also feature sound healing, breathwork, vocal workshops, massage therapy, art therapy and more. The festivities kick off with a traditional smoking ceremony and Welcome to Country on Friday afternoon at 2pm The campground opens from 12pm. “Please show your support for this first year running, special event for the community, celebrating ourselves, each other and the magic of yoga,” Crystal said. Tickets are now available from $30.00 through https://events.humanitix.com/ atman-yoga-festival Ticket booking fees go towards supporting children's charities, thanks to a partnership

Paul burns himself in the kitchen PAUL, Amy, Grace and Harry are the adult children of Brian. Brian appointed Paul as executor of his will, as he thought having his four children as executors would just be too many cooks in the kitchen. Brian has considerable assets which are to be split equally amongst his children. After Brian passes-away, Paul retains a solicitor to assist him with obtaining a grant of probate and to provide advice regarding the administration of the estate. However, while the grant of probate was being processed by the Court, Paul decides to sell Brian’s classic toy collection, without discussing his intentions with his siblings. Paul invites over a few of Brian’s friends who are also classic toy enthusiasts. Paul is keen to sell the toys and accepts the amounts offered by Brian’s mates. When Paul tells his siblings that he has sold the toys and now wants to divide the proceeds of sale according to the will, things get very hot in the kitchen. Amy and the other siblings seek legal advice, alleging that Paul has sold the toys well below market value. This resulted in a lawsuit filed by the aggrieved beneficiaries, alleging that Paul as the executor, had failed in his duty to protect the estate's assets and maximise its value. By selling the property below its market value, the Court held Paul had failed to properly realise the assets of the estate, thereby breaching his fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries. This scenario serves as a potent reminder that executors have a legal obligation to manage the estate with utmost care and integrity, while acting in the best interest of the beneficiaries. If they fail to uphold these responsibilities, executors can be held liable for any losses that the estate or the beneficiaries suffer as a result.

DEAR Jasminda,

Access issues at Yarrila place DEAR News Of The Area, AS a former resident of a rural property far from here, it has been a great joy to me to do most of my shopping in Coffs Harbour CBD but in particular to have access to the library only five minutes from my home. I had my first and, sad to say, last visit to the ugly building to be met by another person telling me I will never come here again. Why am I not surprised that the cavernous entry houses a children's area and stairway plus two lifts. Access to the library granted, the signage indicated the use of a lift. As I am awaiting surgery, that was my only option.

The door opened and I was able to enter. However, despite the use of buttons showing just where to go, nothing happened. I was unable to exit the lift and it was only when the help button was used that a distorted voice apparently facilitated opening the door. There were previously allocated parking spaces outside this building in Gordon Street; these are no longer available. Parking in Gordon Street has always been a problem. Why have we been saddled with an edifice which is far from user friendly and now necessitates much further travel should I wish to remain a library user? Kindest regards, Ann DEANS, North Boambee Valley.

Gains in Indigenous life expectancy DEAR News Of The Area, ALTHOUGH many in the Aboriginal movement and beyond will be saddened by the recent loss of the Voice Referendum, not all is bad news. Quite the contrary! There have been large gains in Indigenous life expectancy over the last generation. In the early 1970s such life expectancy was an appalling fifty years of age; no figures by gender available (National Population Inquiry – Borrie Report, 1975). The National Census provides data for 2015-2017 by Indigenous/non-Indigenous

status. For Indigenous males life expectancy was 71.6 years of age (8.6 years less than the non-Indigenous). For Indigenous females the figure was 75.6 years (7.8 years less than the nonIndigenous). These gains in Indigenous life expectancy have been a mighty achievement, representing the efforts of a small army of workers. The further closing of the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous will continue to be a key focus in Indigenous affairs. Yours sincerely, Andrew BEATTIE, Retired general practitioner, Coffs Coast.

Dog beach drama DEAR News Of The Area,

BEING a new dog owner of a now six month old pup, I’m learning about dog beach behaviour of some owners. Dogs should have total recall to their owner or be on a lead.

Most dogs are well trained, socialised and well behaved. Unfortunately the exceptions ruin a good thing for everyone else’s dog. It’s generally not the dogs fault but owners who do not take responsibility for training their dog properly.

After many years of hard work my husband and I have finally bought our dream home which is a waterfront in a lovely location. A couple of months ago a longdistance friend who I haven't seen in about 20 years sent me a message wanting to reconnect. Now she's sent me another message saying she's heading our way for the summer holidays and would love to spend some quality time staying with us. I've got no idea what to say. I haven't even met her kids. Pauline F. Dear Pauline, MMMM. If it smells like a rat and runs like a rat it's a long-distance pseudo-friend who wants a holiday after years of no contact. I'd imagine your friend first sealed the deal on your appeal when she was flicking through social media and saw photos of the view from your loungeroom and master bedroom. She then did a quick Google search of your location and planned her itinerary, packed full of tours and dips in the pool (your pool). Living in a dream home doesn't just happen. It takes years of sacrifice, early mornings, double shifts, discipline and having a really clear goal at the end that drives you to jump out of bed every morning, even when you don't feel like it. It's hard, and harder still when you know most of your friends and family are taking it easy or prioritising different things. When you reach that end goal, to have them reappear doesn't fool anyone. You feel taken advantage of, and you should. Let your friend know that you'd love to catch up for a coffee or for dinner while she's on holidays, but you already have people staying in your home (you don't have to specify that those people are you and your husband).

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Maybe the ranger should start patrolling the beach and if a dog doesn’t respond to recall the owner should be fined. We’d see a few less menacing dogs on the beach after that. Regards, Peter LEWIS, Park Beach.

COFFS COAST News Of The Area

What does koala hub announcement really mean? DEAR News Of The Area, THE NSW government has announced Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) koala hubs will be protected from logging. What does this mean? Koala hubs are small areas that have shown koalas have persisted in the same area over generations – and should be protected. What we don’t know is how many koala hubs have already been intensively “integrated“ logged by Forestry Corporation NSW; and now we find koala

hubs in plantation will not be protected. In Pine Creek State Forest seven of the eight compartments that were proposed for logging six months ago are koala hubs, three in native forest and the rest in plantation. The three in native forest are now permanent conservation areas. Bits of some plantations are now also permanent conservation areas. All would have been decimated already if not for the efforts of conservationists. Compartment 14 (which is an OEH koala hub) is about to be clear felled. This will be done “legally” by Forestry Corporation NSW. It is quite clear Forestry Corporation NSW has no intention of participating in

the best outcome for koalas in the creation of the Great Koala National Park. The Forest Bridge Proposal put forward by Friends of Pine Creek is a well considered compromise to link two national parks listed as “of intergenerational significance for koalas” whilst recognising the need for plantation timber supply from the area. Whether by accident or design the plantation establishment in the original Pine Creek State Forest came from preferred koala habitat and effectively “cuts” native forest areas off from each other. We are sure this is true of other coastal forests in particular. Forestry Corporation NSW should

not be rewarded for past ecologically damaging practices by claiming an exception of all plantations for the Great Koala National Park. This will severely damage any chance of a positive future for a disappearing icon of Australia. Forestry Corporation NSW should endorse the Forest Bridge Proposal now to show “good faith” in what the majority of people in NSW want – a chance for the koala into the future. Connectivity, no more disturbances and no more loss of habitat and publicly owned land (State Forest) is the minimum we can do, but it can be done. Regards, Friends of Pine Creek.

Sorry Pat, banning foreign investment in residential housing won’t solve the problem DEAR News Of The Area,

IN his October newsletter to the people of Cowper, Pat Conaghan devotes a whole page to the current housing crisis. Whilst acknowledging the immense pressures caused by skyrocketing house prices in the region, and recognising the initiatives that the Labor government is undertaking, our MP’s main focus, however, lies elsewhere. The issue which Pat Conaghan wants to draw our attention to is, oddly, “foreign ownership” of Australia’s residential property, which currently sits at about four percent.

There are no fewer than eight references to “foreign” and “foreigners” in his opinion piece. And he doesn’t forget to throw in a reference to high immigration for good measure. Banning foreign ownership of residential property in the Cowper electorate would not make the slightest difference to the housing crisis in our communities, and our Member of Parliament must know this. What our area urgently needs is significant investment in social housing to deal with chronic waiting lists.

Referendum results DEAR News Of The Area,

THE people of the Electorates of Cowper and Page have spoken. 66.7 percent and 68.1 percent against the Voice respectively.

The people of Australia have dodged a bullet. Unfortunately our Kiwi friends have not. In January of this year I mentioned the many problems (legal and racial) that

Sadly, the Coalition parties have always been opposed to the spending of taxpayers’ money to tackle this problem. Indeed, during its twelve years in office in NSW, the Coalition offloaded almost $3.6 billion of public housing stock and land. In Australia, social housing comprises just 4.4 percent of the housing stock, compared to 16.7 percent in the UK and 34.1 percent in the Netherlands. Increasing our social housing stock is surely one important area where we should invest money to help to relieve the very significant housing crisis, which has

such a detrimental impact on people’s lives. Dog whistling about foreigners and immigration, which is the key focus of Pat Conaghan’s newsletter item, does not help at all. It serves no purpose other than to stir up fear and mistrust. Is this the starting gun for a negative, unpleasant, and divisive federal election campaign in 2024?

the Waitangi Tribunal was causing in New Zealand, and drew parallels with the Voice if voted in (NOTA ‘The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament’, 27 January 2023). Our Kiwi friends suffered from the pain of the Waitangi Tribunal bullet, but are now moving to reduce the suffering. Their incoming Prime Minister is

intending to introduce a referendum to overturn the Waitangi Tribunal. That is an excellent move, and I wish them all the very best in doing so.

Divisive commentary from Sky News post-Referendum DEAR News Of The Area,

I NOTICE the Sky News No campaign which backed and was arguably louder than the ‘official’ No campaign is on a

‘high’ with Andrew Bolt in typical righteous indignation and bluster calling for the PM to resign over it. The other rather sad occurrence has been their extremely divisive commentary

following post Referendum analysis showing the Yes vote was higher in certain urban areas, with labelling such as ‘elites’ now being thrown around and National Party leader Littleproud on a Sky News forum following the Party’s long tradition of bagging urban voters, even strangely suggesting that those who backed the

Privada Farm joins Ability Options stable By Andrea FERRARI PRIVADA Farm, a 20-acre property in South Boambee Valley offering disability support services, has been purchased by Ability Options, a leading disability and employment provider in NSW, to build upon their good works in the region.

A Community Tea party was held in order to mark the occasion with visiting Ability Options CEO Julia Squire and City of Coffs

Harbour Mayor Paul Amos in attendance. The celebratory speeches spoke of the smooth transition of staff and participants into Ability Options from R&R Care and that the work to integrate CHESS Connect participants and colleagues is also well underway. “We feel very welcomed by our new colleagues and connections here on the MidNorth Coast and look forward to investing in opportunities to support people living with disability across the region,” Julia said. Its purchase of Privada Farm expands Ability Options’ range of services for local NDIS participants by enabling the delivery of therapy and skill building services. According to Julia the purchase of Privada Farm presents an excellent opportunity to continue the organisation’s mission of supporting people who need assistance to achieve their aspirations and inclusion in the community. “Privada Farm has supported people with

a disability to build their skills and achieve outcomes for some time,” she said. “Our range of services is now really broad, from direct supports, therapy and group activities to accommodation and short-term accommodation as well as employment. “With the purchase of Privada Farm,

Two for one STEP into this potential filled 1980s two-story brick veneer home, complemented by a classic brick and tile construction that harks back to an era of quality and character. The house, although it could do with some tender love and care, presents a golden opportunity for those with an eye for potential and a heart for nostalgia. The ground floor invites you into two spacious living areas, an atmosphere perfect for entertaining or enjoying

tranquil family moments. A functional kitchen, large laundry also leads to a downstairs bathroom, whilst a double garage with workshop space further enhances the utility and practicality of this home.

Whether you're savouring a morning coffee or winding down under the evening sky, this space promises serenity and relaxation. But that's not where the surprises end.

Dog groomer considers overseas competition after rapid rise By Mary KEILY

COFFS Harbour dog groomer Sarah Bogefors is considering competing abroad in her homeland of Sweden after a rapid rise in domestic competitions in the past year. Sarah, a naturalised Australian, owns the Shampooch Grooming Service which has been running for the past two years locally. Recently Sarah has been testing her well-developed skills in dog grooming competitions around the country, in which groomers are judged on their technique, coat preparation and final result. In May in Cairns, she took out three second places at the ‘Pup Cup’. Then in Brisbane in July she received two first places and a third in the Pet Show Dog Grooming Competition. “It’s a fun and interesting industry because I love being creative, meeting great people and learning so much,” Sarah told NOTA. ”There is always something new to know.”

The next competition takes her to Brisbane for the ‘Groomathon’ in November where she’s entered into the Poodle class, Gundog class, two Model Dog classes and the Fake Dog class. Other classes include All Other Purebreds, Terrier and Coarse Coat, Salon Freestyle and Asian Fusion. To prepare, Sarah has sought out private coaching from the captain of The Groom Team Australia, working on everything from prep work to drying, grooming and applying the finishing touches. Sarah enjoys grooming Poodles, as there’s so many classes the breed can partake in. “Their hair can be sculpted because of their curls. “I also love the Gundog class, because I love to handstrip and card their hair. “There are a lot of choices,” Sarah said. “I can do the teddy bear look for most Oodles and Doodles at the moment. “Plus, I can turn a dog to

look like a different breed by changing its cut, for example a Maltese into a Schnauzer, or a Poodle into a Bedlington Terrier.” For the sake of the dogs working alongside groomers, strict competition rules must be followed.

For example, grooms can only last one hour before dogs are given a rest and a toilet break. Sarah said getting dogs used to being groomed should start from when they are puppies. “Some dogs can be

PHOTOGRAPHER Steve Young has published a book capturing the microscopic beauty of Myxomycetes, commonly known as slime moulds. The soft-cover book, titled Myxos and Musings, unveils a captivating exploration of these organisms through stunning photographs, giving readers an intimate glimpse into the mysterious and often overlooked realm of slime moulds. Author Steve Young, a resident of Coffs Harbour, has dedicated his retirement from commercial photography to unravelling the complexities of supermacro photography. “I have been preoccupied with Myxos now for seven years and first found them growing up in the forests

above Coffs Harbour,” Steve told News Of The Area. “I became totally fascinated by their extensive range of bright colours and in some species their stunning metallic sheen.” He realised their tiny size would go unnoticed by most people and has been determined to develop

Apart from his photographic endeavours, Steve invests his volunteer time at the Eromanga Natural History Museum in south-west Queensland, contributing to micro-fossil discovery and photography. This year he also is undertaking an ambitious research project in Eromanga, exploring the presence of Myxomycetes in this arid Australian environment, adding valuable knowledge to this little understood field.

Coffs flag footballer has LA Olympics in his sights q Cayden Close representing flag football in Sydney.

By Aiden BURGESS CAYDEN Close’s Olympic dreams are well and truly alive after being selected to the first Australian flag football team. The eighteen-year-old from Coffs Harbour was in Sydney for the announcement that flag football and five other sports will be added to the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Close said it was an awesome experience to be there for the historic announcement. “I was there for the announcement of the six new sports for the 2028 Olympics

over in the USA, so they had me there representing flag football on behalf of our Australian team,” he said. “It was awesome there were so many people there and I was just like wow, a bit star studded.” The former Coffs Harbour Comets player is looking forward to fulfilling his Olympic dream in 2028. “I’ve got five years to grow with the sport and hopefully maintain my spot and look at that Olympic dream of course,” he said. He now turns his attention to making his Australian debut. “There’s the international

debut for Australia over in Malaysia for the Oceania Cup in flag football, playing against countries like Japan, New Zealand, Thailand, and India,” he said. The International Federation of American Football (IFAF) Asia Oceania Flag Football Championships will be held on 27-29 October in Malaysia. The IFAF Flag Football World Championship will be held in Finland next year. Flag football is based on American football, but instead of tackling players, the defensive team must remove a flag or flag belt from the player with the ball.

North Coast Boxing Report By Darrell WALLBRIDGE COFFS Harbour Super Heavyweight amateur boxer Josh Sykes, representing Zion Boxing Club, had an excellent unanimous points win over Grafton man-mountain Will Peachy who weighed in at 154kg. Josh Sykes clearly won every round but the young 20-year-old Peachy showed that he is one to watch. Sykes, 26-years-old and 126kg, was having

his seventh bout and has shown improvement with each outing. The bout was held at Mermaid Waters Hotel on the Gold Coast. Kobey Werner, also representing Zion Boxing, had a strong win over Gold Coast boxer Kye Greenwood. It was Kobey’s second win from two bouts. The fourteen-year-old weighed 52kg, 4kg lighter than fifteen-year-old Greenwood. Grafton boxer Zac Roberts fought the Main Event on the fifteen bout card.

He lost on points to Brisbane boxer Matt Hosking for the Light Middleweight Inter State Title. The youngest boxer on the programme, Grafton’s Nash Wall (ten), weighing in at 35kg, had a great first up win over Toowoomba twelve-year-old Ozzie Matthews who weighed 38kg. Grafton sixteen-yearold 60kg boxer Malakai Murray lost on points to Ipswich boxer Dione Tamuru. Grafton boxers are trained by Dean Cribb.

ROSIE Smart has taken out the Australian Open of Surfing Tour qualifier on her home break. The Coffs Harbour Boardriders Club member won the Open Women title at The Volkswagen Coffs Harbour Open, held at Macauleys Beach. The victory on her home break saw her qualify for the Bondi Open Grand Final in November. The eighteen-year-old successfully defended her title after winning last year’s Coffs Harbour Open. Smart rose to the conditions on offer as the final started to worsen with the wind, however she was busy catching seven waves

in total. It was her sixth wave that got her the lead and the overall win as she posted a 7-point ride. Her win at home came on the back of winning the national title in August at the Australian Surf Championships in Port Macquarie. Smart gave her thoughts on winning the final at home in tricky conditions. “It was a bit tricky and a bit windy,” she said. “I got a 6.33 and then a one turner for a 7 which put me ahead. “I thought the other girls were better this year and the standard was higher.” The Coffs Harbour Open champion said she loved surfing at home.

“I like surfing at home, I always like surfing at Macauleys, and I love competing at home because you get to wake up in your own bed, and it’s only a short drive from home, so it’s nice,” she said. She shared her plans for the rest of the year and for 2024. “I’ve qualified for the grand final in Bondi, but I’m actually going to be in Taiwan next month for the World Surf League Qualifying Series 5000 event, as it’s on at the same time,” she said. “Early next year there are qualifying events, and my goal is to qualify for the Challenger Series.”

JOANNA LUMLEY’S SPICE TRAIL ADVENTURE

ABC, 7.30pm

In this vibrant voyage taking in the centuries-old spice regions of the world, the Absolutely Fabulous star emanates a warmth and enthusiasm that really does spice up every scene. Across four episodes, premiering tonight, the riches of the world’s spice history, from Indonesia and Zanzibar, to India and Madagascar, is explored. In her “most epic voyage yet”, Lumley’s ﬁrst stop is Indonesia’s Banda Islands, once the only place in the world that the coveted nutmeg grew. With pepper, vanilla and cinnamon informing Lumley’s upcoming destinations, it’s an educational feast.

It’s a lesson in bold, brash confidence and how to sport skimpy swimming attire with the same nonchalance as wearing a tracksuit. In this dating show, everyone is unsurprisingly young and beautiful, but they also have attitude and sass to boot. Returning to the sunny climes of Mallorca, Spain, along with breezily outspoken host Sophie Monk, this season’s contenders – five men and five women – have signed up to find love, but there’s a juicy power shift in store with the girls seizing control of the sun-kissed search for connection. The singles include Kirra (who made a splash defending sister Bronte earlier this year on MAFS), along with long-time single Ben – who is ready for marriage at 22.

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

SBS, 7.30pm

While other networks peddle glamorous reality TV shows about finding love or getting a makeover, SBS continues to push boundaries by shining a light on societal issues with bold and reflective content. Backed by The Welcome to Central Goldfields pilot project, AMES Australia and the local community, and hosted by the lovable Myf Warhurst, this engrossing three-part series follows eight diverse households’ move to small-town Maryborough, Victoria. Like many Aussie regional towns, Maryborough is ageing, with a severe skills shortage, but these city-dwellers are ready to join and reinvigorate the community in this three-month-long social experiment. 2710

Perfect Ten for Naala www.newsofthearea.com.au

70 First Ave, Sawtell

By Mary KEILY NINE-year-old Naala Wright scored a perfect ten on a wave at the Naru Surf Gathering held recently in Coffs Harbour. Naala’s Indigenous language name is Nganggulaawan, which means ‘Evening Star’, and she is from Yaegl country, living in Karangi. Her father, Joe Rattray, also a surfer, told NOTA, “She was the only one out of every division to score a perfect ten on one wave, which means every judge gave her a ten, which is unbelievable! “It’s the highest you can achieve.”
