By Sandra MOON NETBALLERS are jumping for joy after state and local dignitaries announced a major upgrade for local facilities.

Future games will be played on vastly improved courts at Vost Park thanks to federal funding from the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure (LRCI) program.

The Coffs Harbour Netballers Association will benefit from the $1.45 million received by the Coffs Harbour City Council.

Member for Cowper, Pat Conaghan, said netball is such a popular and growing sport, with thousands of players taking to the court each week for exercise and competition.

“The upgrades will provide a safer and smoother surface for local players, and also ensure that Coffs Harbour is well placed to host regional, state and national competition in the future,” Mr Conaghan said.

building sustained substantial damage from the fire, which is believed to have originated in the kitchen.

NSW Police said in a statement that, “The building sustained significant damage, estimated to be more than $250,000.”

A crime scene was established by officers attached to Coffs/Clarence Police District and inquiries are now underway into the cause of the fire.

Anyone with information is asked to call Coffs Harbour Police or Crime Stoppers.

While no one was hurt in the blaze, the mood in the close-knit community on Tuesday morning was somber.

Anchors Wharf Café and Restaurant on the south bank of the Kalang River at Urunga is an institution, family owned and run by Denise and Steve Ryan who live in the village.

John Lewis, owner of neighbouring café, Boardwalk Café in Bowra Street, said, “Everybody’s talking about it this morning.

“Anchors Wharf is an icon.

“It’s been here for years, but give them a few months and we hope they’ll be up and running, bigger and better.”

EPA Investigating Pong

By Sandra MOON HAVE you come across the offensive odour that can hover over Hogbin Drive and can extend as far north as Brelsford Park some days and nights?

This reporter personally has, and it’s certainly not pleasant.

It is also now the subject of investigation by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

In a statement released last week, the EPA said there have been a series of offensive odour complaints that have been in line with an increase in rainfall in the Boambee Valley.

Several complaints have been received since 3 April 2021 in the vicinity of the Coffs Harbour Landfill waste facility and the Biomass Waste Treatment facility in Englands Road.

The EPA statement said, “The timing of complaints and information from the community suggests the odour is at its worst during evening hours and in the early hours of the morning.

“We don’t want communities impacted by offensive odours and unable to enjoy their homes, gardens and local communities.

“This is why we’re taking a range of actions aimed at providing relief to residents as a top priority.”

EPA staff are working to identify the source and mitigate the offensive odour.

They were onsite at both the Coffs Harbour Landfill waste facility and the Biomass Waste Treatment facility in Englands Road on 26 April 2021 and also conducted comprehensive odour surveys in the early hours of 27 April 2021 in an attempt to

determine the source and cause of the offensive odours.

Prior, the EPA inspected both facilities on 9 April 2021, however officers were unable to determine any obvious source of the offensive odours.

Evening observations were also carried out on 19 April 2021 to ascertain if there had been compliance with landfill capping requirements, which is an odour minimisation licence requirement.

According to the EPA statement those observations found that the capping requirements were met.

The EPA admits that odours are notoriously difficult to identify, can travel a long way from the source and are highly subjective.

They are still investigating and are seeking help from anyone experiencing the offensive odour to call the EPA’s Enviro Line on 131 555.

representative level at Taree and Camden and can’t wait to show off the new facilities here.

The project will see the existing nine courts renewed with a new high quality Plexipave Netball Surface System which protects the surface from ultra-violet exposure, provides better grip and court speed, and

reduces heat, fatigue, impact, stress, and abrasion injuries.

The Vost Park Netball Courts are located in Murray Street Coffs Harbour and is the home ground for West Coffs.

Construction is expected to commence in the coming months and will be completed by Christmas (weather permitting).

Station after graduating at Sydney’s Fire & Rescue NSW Emergency Services Academy.

Baden was amongst 208

new Fire and Rescue NSW recruits graduating this April.

Baden told News Of The Area, “I joined the Fire Service because I was burned in a fire and wanted to help others not go through what I went through.

“And I wanted a job where I can participate helpfully in the community.

“I know firsthand what it is like to be in a fire.”

While Baden has family

members in the Corrective Services, he is the first of his family to join the Fire Service.

“It’s sort of exciting to be in this type of work but you don’t want anyone to go through it at all.”

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said, “Becoming a firefighter is no easy feat.

“FRNSW attracts up to 8000 applications each year, yet of these thousands, only

an elite few are chosen,” Gurmesh said.

“These recruits will not only face fires.

“They are trained to respond to various incidents including medical emergencies, natural disasters, flood rescues and car accidents, environmental or hazardous material emergencies and counter terrorism.”

Fire and Rescue NSW

received a record investment of $900 million this financial year to support frontline firefighters in protecting lives, property and to continue being prepared for anything.

The new recruits come from all over NSW and a range of backgrounds, including a former Nepalese firefighter, a former school teacher and an accomplished television production editor.

Figures supplied by Healthy North Coast claim that more than 40,000 Mid North Coast and Northern NSW people have received a vaccination to date, which is nearly 10 percent of the target population for phases 1 and 2 of the roll out.

About 38,000 people on the Mid North Coast and in Northern NSW are said to have received the AstraZeneca vaccine.

People across the North Coast region are being asked to participate in an online community consultation that allows them to share their thoughts on the COVID-19 vaccines.

By David TUNE THE Federal Shadow Minister for Housing and Homelessness, Mr Jason Clare MP visited Pete’s Place at the Community Village on Thursday 29 April to talk about the serious issue of homelessness in the Coffs Coast area.

Mr Clare made the point that the region is currently experiencing a major housing and rental crisis, and that it is almost impossible to find affordable housing at the moment.

“More people are on the streets than ever before, and the Mid North Coast rental crisis is making it harder for people on low incomes to find affordable accommodation, even share house costs have risen to unaffordable levels for many young people,” he said.

On the same day, Anglicare released its annual Rental Affordability Snapshot report, which revealed that the effects of the pandemic on job losses

and the scaling back of support funding comes at the same time as house prices and rents in both cities and regional areas rising sharply.

Mr Clare, who called on the Federal Government to address the issue of funding social housing in the budget due to

be released next week, said, “Homelessness is everyone’s issue, and while there are no easy fixes, all levels of government need to pull together to address this major problem for our society.”

Mr Clare also called for the National Cabinet to extend the pandemic

support measures to assist people who are at risk due to homelessness and unemployment.

Pete’s Place Manager Anna Scott said that she was not surprised by the details of the Anglicare report, but was saddened by the impact of those figures, and that they

had noticed a marked increase in the number of people seeking help from their service in the past year.

Pete’s Place provides a safe space for people who are homeless and offers assistance, connection and support.

“Strong communities grow from having a safe place for everyone,” said Ms Scott.

Indian Travel Ban Impact

By Sandra MOON

A MOVE by the Federal Government and questioned by the Australian Human Rights Commission, is adding to the pressure on Indian international students.

The travel ban on India, criminalises Australians returning home from the country under the Biosecurity Act. Australia is the only country in the world to criminalise its own citizens for returning home from India and also the only country globally to ban travel from India.

Watching in horror from Woolgoolga as the pandemic wreaks havoc on their homeland has been difficult for international students Avneet Sidhu, Harmanpreet Singh and Jaspreet Singh.

Avneet Sidhu has not met her family for two years.

She said if something happens to them and she has to return to India, she is faced with being unable to return to her studies and five years jail time.

“It is really difficult for us.

“My parents aren’t able to visit and I can’t see them too.

“We are stuck,” Ms Sidhu said.

“Thank God they are not affected currently by COVID.”

Ms Sidhu was planning to travel to India this year but has been unable to.

Harmanpreet Singh also misses his family and had plans to visit this year.

“We are all following the rules the Australian Government makes but we are worried about our family.

“One person in my

family’s village has COVID-19,” he said.

As the country struggles to vaccinate its population Mr Singh expressed concerns about reports from the Indian media that the wrong vaccines have been administered.

“I don’t have faith in the vaccine in India,” he told News Of The Area.

Jaspreet SIngh said he

thinks the travel ban is good in terms of safety but the impact on other international students is tough.

“I have two friends who have lost their fathers and it is so hard for them as international students.

“One of my friend’s fathers was a doctor himself.

“The students are worried about returning to India

COFFS COASTNews COASTNews Of The Area because they can leave from here but are not allowed to come back,” he said.

“One of my friends is stuck there having returned to India in March and now is unable to complete his studies here but has paid the international student fees.

“He also cannot do anything in India as well because all the unis have closed.”

Mr Singh said there are still many areas of concern in India as COVID-19 ravages

the country.

“Currently there are many things going on side by side with the pandemic.

“The farmers are still protesting and are still on strike but Prime Minister Modi is ignoring the situation.

“No action has been taken and the farmers are dying and many businessmen and labourers have been affected too,” he said.

Prime Minister Modi has been widely criticized for allowing religious festivals and political rallies to continue prior to the latest outbreak.

Meanwhile back in Australia, Scott Morrison is under fire for the travel ban by the Australian Human Rights Commission.

In a statement released by the commission it raised “serious human rights concerns”.

It reads, ‘The Commission supports the continuation of aid to the Indian Government as it copes with the current COVID-19 crisis, but the Commission holds deep concerns about these extraordinary new restrictions on Australians returning to Australia from India.’

There are approximately nine thousand Australians in India currently registered with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade as wanting to return home.

FANCY A SHAG? Rod Stewart, David Bowie and Mick Jagger all had one. Even David Cassidy and Joan Jett.

The Shag haircut - iconic, casual and very rock & roll. The Seventies are back, but hopefully with a little more style this time round.

This textured hairdo suits all face shapes and, as the ends are so feathery, it gives instant softness. The Shag works well on all hair types as along as the hair is reasonably thick.

Maintenance is low - just wash and go with a little product to exaggerate the texture.

Rockinn!

COVID-19 protocols remain in place with wash, cut & run haircuts available.

Water compliance in North Coast farms improving

TARGETED inspections at agricultural properties on the NSW North Coast by the Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR) in February and March found 48% of farms inspected were still breaking water use rules.

NRAR officers conducted site inspections at 25 properties across the North Coast in response to public reports of alleged noncompliance.

Director of Regional Water Regulation (West) Graeme White said he was pleased that more than half (52%) of the properties inspected were fully compliant, but issues were identified on the remaining properties.

“We are very pleased that half of the properties we inspected were following the rules and that the other properties have been cooperative,” Mr White said.

Mr White said he expects to see an improvement in compliance levels in the coming months.

“During our inspections we found that where breaches had occurred, most water users had made unintentional mistakes and were willing to

make changes in order to become compliant,” Mr White said.

“We have responded to the concerns of the community and we’re taking

action to ensure water is shared fairly.

“The rules exist to protect our water resources and only work if we all comply with them.”

The 25 inspections took place across Northern NSW including the Tweed area, Ballina, Casino, Tenterfield, Coffs Harbour, Armidale and Ebor.

Officers found 12 properties (49.5%) required further compliance action.

This included four

penalty notices of $750 fines, two warning letters and three direction orders including one stop work order and two requests to remove unlawful water works.

Five properties remain under ongoing investigation.

“While we understand water laws are complex, we

want water users to ensure they understand the terms and conditions of their licences and approvals before pumping water or starting work on waterfront land,” Mr White said.

NRAR ran an extensive campaign in the area in 201920, following alarmingly high levels of noncompliance in the Coffs Harbour region (88%) when the water regulator visited properties between 2019 and 2020.

This year’s inspections focused on oversized dams, bores used for irrigation and record keeping.

The NRAR used satellite imagery and drones as well as public reports and local compliance history to identify Coffs Harbour properties which it considered to be high risk for the latest inspections.

NRAR investigators and compliance officers travel all over the State’s 58 water sharing plan areas, inspecting properties and assessing compliance with water users’ licences and the Water Management Act. To make a confidential report on suspected water misuse, contact the NRAR Hotline on 1800 633 362 or email nrar.enquiries@nrar. nsw.gov.au.

Science Lab upgrades for Woolgoolga High

By Emma DARBIN

BUDDING scientists at Woolgoolga High School will benefit from $595,000 in State Government funding to upgrade three of the school’s science labs.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh visited the school last Wednesday to announce the new $595,000 Science Labs Upgrade funding which forms part of the NSW Government’s $120 million Regional Renewal Program.

“I’m extremely pleased the Woolgoolga High project has been funded and I congratulate the entire school community on this exciting news,” Mr Singh said.

“I’m a former Woolgoolga High student, so I’ve seen firsthand the dedication of the staff and students as they strive for excellence in education.”

Woolgoolga High School Relieving Principal Lu Nickell said the three school science labs will be upgraded to refresh the learning spaces and create functional practical and demonstration science spaces.

“As a passionate science teacher, I am excited for this project to enhance the science learning experience in our school,” Ms Nickell said.

The science labs will be upgraded within the next

eighteen months.

As part of the application process, the school had to commit some funds towards the project which is jointly funded through the State Government grant and the school.

Mr Singh said it was a

similar good news story at many other Coffs Coast schools, which have been awarded a total of $4m worth of projects from the Regional Renewal Program.

“Since the announcement of the program in October last year, schools have been invited

to apply for renewal projects to improve their school facilities,” Mr Singh said.

The Regional Renewal Program will provide a government co-contribution of between 50 to 80 per cent for school infrastructure improvements to high priority

schools in regional NSW. Projects may include new and upgraded covered outdoor learning areas, science facilities, toilet blocks, administration buildings and canteens.

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said Coffs Coast projects were part of the

NSW Government’s stimulus program and the State’s COVID-19 Recovery Plan.

“This program will benefit local communities and support hundreds of jobs, creating a safer and stronger regional NSW,” Minister Mitchell said.

Neighbourhood centre celebrates volunteers

By David TUNE

COFFS Harbour Neighbourhood Centre (CHNC) is a project run by Volunteering Coffs Harbour Inc that provides services and support to the whole community while prioritising individuals and groups who are disadvantaged, vulnerable and/or marginalised.

CHNC is co-located in the Coffs Harbour Community Village with other community services which is close to the centre of town making it easily accessible for service users and convenient to liaise and network with the other services.

The centre and the various programs and support services it provides depends almost entirely on volunteers and is

recognising the contribution made by them in the lead up to National Volunteer Week

(NVW) from Monday 17 to Sunday 23 May 2021, which will celebrate the significant

contribution of Australia’s almost six million volunteers.

CHNC volunteers provide

many free services for those in need, including access to computers and the internet, legal advice, tax help, translating and interpreter services, after school homework assistance (in association with The Smith Family), as well as providing pantry food to those in need and distributing reclaimed food collected by Oz Harvest.

News Of The Area asked some of the volunteers working at the centre why they chose to do so.

Wendy Johnstone said, “I have been retired for eight years now, and I thought I would like to be involved as a volunteer and give something back to society, and I find it very rewarding.”

Maureen Shaw works in the Volunteer Office which interviews prospective volunteers and matches them to suitable organisations in

the community, and said, “I get a lot of reward and satisfaction out of helping people find a suitable match with an organisation they can volunteer with.”

CHNC Coordinator Marie Lo Cascio pointed out that, “We can’t survive without volunteers, and we find that many people come to us and volunteer, and then learn valuable skills and gain workplace experience that then helps them find paid employment, particularly younger people trying to find their first job.

“So we are always looking for more people to get involved.”

The centre is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 4:30pm, to find out more or to volunteer call 02 6648 3660 or go to https://chnc. com.au/.

“100% of the money raised at this function will be put towards the direct practical assistance for mothers and their babies within our community.”

Tickets remain at $25 per person and are available online and through the Sawtell RSL Club.

Regional Athletics Centre workshop held

By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Coast sporting groups supporting the placement of the future Regional Athletics Centre (RAC) at the South Coffs Harbour Sports precinct have been given hope following the holding of a workshop with Coffs Harbour City Council, local sporting organisations and stakeholders.

Council held the Regional Athletics Workshop for the local and visiting sports community on the proposed location of the future Regional Athletics Centre on Tuesday 27 April.

The workshop was attended by Coffs Harbour City Mayor Denise Knight, Deputy Mayor George Cecato, Cr Sally Townley, Cr Keith Rhoades and all major local sports organisations with a stake in the issue.

Council resolved to hold the workshop to discuss the placement of the future Regional Athletics Centre following stakeholder indecision over whether to establish it at Bruce Barnier Oval or York Street Oval at the end of last year.

Council staff had last year advised councillors at two separate Council meetings to establish the Regional Athletics Centre at York Street Oval, however councillors were unable to make a decision on the issue.

York Street Oval is

currently the home of the Northern Storm Football Club until it moves to the future Moonee Sporting Precinct.

North Coast Football general manager Andrew Woodward said the overwhelming view of participants attending the recent workshop was that the Regional Athletics Centre should be at Bruce Barnier Oval within the Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Precinct.

“Local football and athletics believe the Regional Athletics Centre should be at South Coffs Harbour (Bruce Barnier Oval),” Mr Woodward said.

“Council officers are proposing the centre be at York Street.

“This is vehemently opposed by local football and local athletics.”

Mr Woodward said the objection to York Street was so strong at the workshop that one of the participants urged councillors to immediately dismiss York Street and instead focus on accommodating all of its interests with the South Coffs Harbour option.

According to Mr Woodward, of the fifteen stakeholders invited to speak at the workshop three were uncommitted or could work with either option of York Street Oval or Bruce Barnier Oval, three supported York Street and nine supported the

South Coffs Harbour option of Bruce Barnier Oval.

“Football is the current anchor tenant of York Street and athletics is the anchor tenant of the proposed Regional Athletics Centre,” Mr Woodward stressed.

“South Coffs Harbour is made for a regional athletics centre.

“We should have what Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and the Gold Coast has - the majority of big sport sports in one place.”

The Northern Storm Football Club committee is also against the York Street Oval option and does not support a Council proposal for the club to share York Street Oval with the Regional Athletics Centre.

“Our club is strongly against the current shared proposal for York St as there are many significant issues & associated expenses required with this proposal,” the committee stated in it’s address at the workshop.

The committee instead called on Council to bring forward the Moonee Sports Complex proposal.

“Adding one more site into the mix & thereby giving all user groups sufficient space for quality facilities & future development,” the committee said.

“Council already has long term plans for both an RAC & the Moonee Complex, and we believe re-prioritising the timeline for these

developments would solve all of the problems.

“This is an opportunity to provide football, athletics, all user groups & the community with dedicated long term facilities, all

made his way through Sawtell, Coffs and Emerald beaches on Tuesday and Wooli Creek on Wednesday, finishing on Saturday May 8 at Brunswick Heads.

“I journey on foot, running 60 – 80 km each day, to be present, to feel the salt spray, to wash in the freshness of the estuaries, to have an ear to the bird calls,” Michael told News Of The Area.

“Uncle Mark, elder of the Gumbaynggirr people, in welcoming my travels through this country, instructed that I ‘allow the lands, the waters,

the skies to speak deeply’.

“Aunty Alison, of Bellingen, similarly echoed such wisdom, that we are each caretakers of the land that we walk through, and as such, must respect the beauty and carry an awareness of the ancient peoples who have nurtured that beauty.

“There are more than 23 estuaries and rivers along this coast.

“I have long been aware of the potential harm that collectively we may bring to these waterways…concerning practices that may contribute to a potential parlous state.

“The creeks flow across the beaches with unusual beauty which I am absorbed by.

“It is offered as a welcome reward for my fatigue, sitting above the outflow to the sea, turquoise blue and swales of sand drifting with the current…reassuring me what is still possible.”

“The way we deal with the waterways and beaches have direct consequences – positive and negative – for birds and fish.

“This journey, this pilgrimage, is an exploration of connectedness, a study of my own connection to country, and the collective responsibilities that we each bear, an honouring of our indigenous peoples, and an encouragement for those that demonstrate this care – individuals, communities and organisations,” he said.

Cafe/bar kiosk proposed Rethinking Business for Coffs Central

By Emma DARBIN

By Andrew VIVIAN

AN $80,000 cafe/bar kiosk called Ebb ‘n’ Flow is proposed for the Coffs Central Shopping Centre food court area, which may delight many men who, if approved, will be able to relax at a bar while waiting for their partner to finish shopping.

A development application for the new food and beverage outlet has been lodged with Coffs Harbour City Council by Coffs Central

Shopping Centre owner Gowing Bros Ltd. The current development proposal includes a cafe kiosk, with associated internal signage.

A liquor license will be applied for separately at a later time.

The proposed kiosk will be situated at the rear of the Level One food court and is envisioned to provide a “contemporary retail dining environment” for the Coffs Harbour area.

Operating hours are proposed to be from 6am to 11pm seven days a week.

Feedback Sought About The Australian Curriculum

By Andrew VIVIAN

PROPOSED revisions to the Australian Curriculum for Foundation to Year 10 have been released for public comment.

The Chair of the Australian Curriculum Assessment And Reporting Authority (ACARA), Belinda Robinson, said, “In revising this curriculum, our focus has been our students and preparing them for the world they will inherit, for the jobs, challenges and opportunities of the future.”

The review includes revisions to all eight learning areas (English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, The Arts, Technologies, Health and

Physical Education, and Languages), as well as the three cross-curriculum priorities (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures, Asia and Australia’s Engagement with Asia, and Sustainability) and the general capabilities, such as Critical and Creative Thinking.

Broadly, the changes include simplifying the core curriculum that teachers use to plan, teach and assess learning, reducing content across the primary school curriculum, having clearer illustrations and examples of ways to teach the content and making it clear what teachers need to teach in the Foundation year and ensuring that it builds on the Early

Years.

To arrive at its recommendations, ACARA conducted eighteen reference groups of around 360 practising teachers and curriculum specialists from across Australia ran informal listening tours of primary schools to talk to teachers and principals and engaged with national teacher and principal professional associations and other subject matter experts.

It also benchmarked the Australian Curriculum against the curricula of Singapore, Finland, British Columbia and New Zealand, sought feedback from states and territories on the effectiveness of the Australian Curriculum and reviewed the latest national and international

developments and research in each learning area.

However, some sections of the mainstream media have zeroed in on what they say is undue emphasis on First Nations perspectives.

Even the Federal Education Minister, Alan Tudge, has expressed concern that this might reduce focus on Australia’s western heritage.

Misinformation has been such that the CEO of ACARA, David de Carvalho, has labelled assertions from some commentators that changes included the encouragement of activism and 'direct action' as “simply not true”.

However, regardless of what changes are eventually approved, how they impact

NSW schools is unclear.

When contacted by News Of The Area, the NSW Minister for Education, Sarah Mitchell said, “In NSW we set our own curriculum.

“When Education ministers met last week, I made it clear that the NSW curriculum reforms are based on evidence to improve student outcomes.

“The Australian curriculum should do the same, we want students to master the basics as they build a strong foundation to learn,” Ms Mitchell said.

Michael Trist, representing the New South Wales Primary Principals Association, told News Of The Area that he welcomed ACARA trying to reduce

content and focus on the most important aspects of literacy, numeracy and key learning areas.

He said that his only concern was that teacher and principal groups needed to have input on timeframes, so that implementing any changes would not increase workloads.

Mr Trist said, “It won’t be a bad thing if we are reducing overcrowding the curriculum without reducing the quality.”

In reference to the issue of First Nations history and culture, he said, “It is important to have a balance of perspectives taught.”

Public feedback can be given at http://www. australiancurriculum.edu.au/ consultation until 8 July 2021.

Victoria, Penny’s grandmother was sixteen when she gave birth to Penny’s father, and subsequently his grandmother adopted him and brought him up as her own.

With Stephen, a cousin of her father, the two built their family trees together.

Stephen had a wealth of information on Penny’s paternal great grandfather, Robert Smith and her father, also named after his

grandfather, Robert John Smith.

Penny learnt that when WWI broke out, her paternal great grandfather enlisted into the army as he felt it was the right thing to do, despite it being against his family's wishes.

She learnt that he went to Europe and was killed in action in Glencorse Woods in Belgium/France, leaving behind his wife and three little

girls, the eldest of which was her grandmother.

He was a hard-working person who felt he had to serve his country the same as many young men did.

He has his name engraved on the Menin Gate in Belgium, and on the Walls of Remembrance in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

Upon hearing the news of his son's death at only 26 years of age, her great great grandfather (Robert's dad) bought Robert's widow Maud Lucy a cafe in Drouin, VIC and set her up with work so she could support her three little girls.

Penny is proud to think

that he was so generous and supportive of his family, and proud that her dad also served in the Navy and Airforce in late WWII. Penny said it’s been

absolutely fantastic finding out so much about family history, and that she not only feels a real sense of identity and much closer to her family but is really proud of everything her family has been through and accomplished.

Bellingen Ag Show This Weekend

By Sandra MOON

THE BELLINGEN Agricultural Show is on this weekend and organisers say they are ready and thrilled to present such a fabulous event once again.

Bellingen Show President Gillian Anderson said show attendees can see the entrants and winners of the EJ Mantova Memorial Art Prize judged last Saturday.

Ms Anderson said, “This much loved art competition has returned for 2021 with great success.

“The only interruptions to this community supported art competition over the past 45 years has been flood and COVID,” she added.

“The Bellingen Shire and neighbouring regions have rallied together to ensure the EJ Mantova Memorial Art Competition cements its place as an integral part of the creative mid north coast.”

All the paintings and

sculptures will be on display over the show weekend.

The programme is packed with popular features such as the woodchop events on Saturday, and the Mongrel Dog Show, Young Farmers Challenge and Partner Carrying Competition on Sunday.

On Saturday morning, the Entertainment Tent will feature local schools and dance performances as well as the wonderful Gumbaynggirr Choir in the afternoon.

On Sunday morning, anyone can join the Fun Run for an early morning sprint.

Celebrity Chef Clayton Donovan will be showing some of the wonderful ways he prepares some of his favourite foods all weekend.

Backing him up is local Chef Mitch Donovan with cooking for the children, nose to tail with local organic beef and fermentation.

The Mounted Police will be in attendance on their horses mingling with the crowd.

The Sydney Puppet Theatre will be staging performances all weekend and there is free face painting, a petting zoo, plus children’s passports to entertain younger patrons.

There are lots of prizes to enter in as well, including a chance to be at the Chef’s Table at 2.30 Sunday afternoon.

Tickets are on sale at the Luncheon Room at a cost of $5 and will be drawn at 4pm Saturday.

Tickets to the show are available online and as Ms Anderson notes, “Are cheaper, quicker and help us keep you all Covid Safe.”

acknowledge local female councillors and council

www.newsofthearea.com.au

staff for their achievements in serving local council by

q Jackie Lee, Coordinator of the EJ Mantova Art Exhibition. nominating them for a 2021 Ministers’ Award for Women in Local Government.

The awards, now in their 14th year, provide a great opportunity for local communities to publicly acknowledge these women

and all that they do.

With council elections in September, recognising the amazing work being achieved by women in the sector also encourages other women to consider a rewarding career in local government.

Presently, women make up only 31 per cent of all NSW councillors, and the Government is committed to increasing female representation so local councils across the State are more reflective of the communities they serve.

Residents and businesses are encouraged to nominate women who are playing a vital role in creating a stronger local council and are making their community a better place to live, work and play.

Nominations can also be made to recognise a council program and senior staff

member driving change by supporting and encouraging female participation.

Award categories include the Employment Diversity Award, Elected Representative Award, Champion of Change Award, Alternative Pathways Award, Young Achiever’s Award, and the Lilliane Brady OAM Award (formerly known as the Minister for Local Government Award for Women).

The winner of this award is selected by the Minister, so no nominations are required.

Urunga Art Space - Lights, Action and A Cool Change q Urunga Art Space Opening Night.

By Andrea FERRARI

A COOL Change, The Urunga Art Space Autumn members’ exhibition celebrated opening night on May 1.

“After a year of restrictions, we were at last able to welcome art lovers to the gallery for opening night with finger food and a glass of wine,” Chris Wilson, local artist from the gallery told News Of The Area.

“We are also celebrating improvements to the gallery, including new lighting and improved display walls as the

first in a number of improvements planned to enhance the appearance and comfort of the space.

“The members greatly appreciate the support we’ve received over the last year and look forward to warmly welcoming visitors to this varied and stimulating show by our talented local artists.”

The exhibition runs until 6 June, 10am-4pm.

Urunga Art Space is an artists’ collective in Bellingen Shire which grew from an opportunity back in 2016 to put up a few pictures in a former butcher’s shop.

Thanks to visionary local photographer, Gethin Coles, and his enlisted troops, the gallery grew and continues to leap and bound as funds and friends allow.

The new lighting is a big deal.

“It’s a long-held bucket-list thing for us, having managed for over four years with the current fluro tubes, not

exactly flattering to the high-standard local art we display.

“During the COVID year, we decided to raise the money by having an exhibition where all the pieces were donated to the gallery by the artists.

“We raised more than we expected, and, along with a generous discount from Planet Lighting, were able to proceed with the installation.

“The new lighting, along with planned re-lining of the hanging walls should make a substantial difference to the quality of our exhibitions.

“Rather than a general ‘cold’ lighting given by the fluro tubes, we’ll be able to spotlight the art on the walls, and selectively highlight the 3-D pieces which stand in the middle of the room.

“The hangs will, we are sure, look more professional for these changes, and showcase the work in the best possible way.”

Jiving at the Jetty

By David WIGLEY THE Big Big Boogie Band had the dancefloor swinging and jiving as the popular 14 piece band played an array of jazz, blues, swing and rock music in front of a packed house at Red-C Events last Saturday.

After a COVID-19 dancefloor hiatus, Rob and Kristy Pursch celebrated the music in style.

“There’s nothing like live music after so long being off the dance floor especially when that live music is the Big Big Boogie Band.

“It’s so good to see so many people up on the dance floor enjoying themselves,

it’s been so long since we’ve danced, we loved every minute, thanks to Red-C for keeping live music alive,” said Kristy.

Director at Red-C Events, Dan Stevens, dressed up for the occasion in 1920’s attire and told News Of The Area, “It’s like being on Broadway, you don’t get to see fourteen musicians performing on stage like this very often, you could hear every instrument.”

The Big Big Boogie Band have been together for 20 years but like many bands of this magnitude, the musicians come and go but it’s the love of music that binds them together as saxophone players Thomas Madden and David explained.

“We just love music, that’s

14 musicians make up the The Big Big Boogie Band.

why we are still together, we love playing and we love performing, we don’t have backing music, every instrument is an important ingredient to the show and when you see it live you can tell the difference,” they said.

Director at Red-C Events, Jane Reidy wants to do it again.

"We will definitely be having The Big Big Boogie Band back, so look out for dates on our website or socials.

"It was a lot of fun, with great music, and having the staff and patrons dress up in the big band theme makes it a special night too, it was a fabulous atmosphere," said Jane.

CULTURAL appropriation is a hot topic at the moment and one that is explored in author Alex Landragin’s book Crossings.

Alex will feature on four panels at this year’s Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival (BRWF) and spoke with me about the themes of the novel.

The speculative fiction work Crossings is about characters that can move across bodies into one another and Alex said sometimes there is a surreptitious, sly or playful aspect to the crossings.

“So I found with that concept, the theme of empathy and being able to step into the shoes of other people and experiencing the endless variety of what it means to be human.

“Empathy is a really important part of what we need to do as humans and the book is exploring the darker side of empathy.

“The darker sides of empathy are around appropriation and at the moment we are in a period thinking a lot about cultural appropriation and a lot of times cultural appropriation occurs not because we are wanting to exploit people but to empathise with them.

“And following on from that is some of the guilt that can happen after that appropriation,” he said.

“The circumstances in which the book was conceived was a dark time and was as a result a redemptive project for me.”

Mr Landragin had the idea for the story when he was physically incapacitated after a motor bicycle accident.

The themes of limitations of mortality and the notion of escaping those limitations came from that time and manifested in the novel by being able to cross from one human to another.

The novel begins in 1791 on a fictional pacific island and

finishes in 1940 in Paris as the Germans are invading.

Crossings has been published by Picador in Australia and St Martin's Press in the United States.

The novel has been translated into Italian and Croatian, with further translations in Russian,Chinese and Bulgarian forthcoming.

Woolgoolga Art Gallery’s What a Relief printing exhibition

By Andrea FERRARI

WOOLGOOLGA Art Gallery (WAG) presents ‘What a Relief’ – a new exhibition of relief printmaking.

Sherilyn Hawley from WAG explained to News Of The Area, “Relief printing is a broad term to describe the process of printing from a raised surface, sometimes linoleum, rubber, metal or wood.

“The printing surface is cut away and raised areas are then inked and printed to paper.” q Karen Thio’s “Magpie drinking” print.

Artists exhibiting are nine talented members of Woolgoolga Gallery’s social group, ‘Monday morning printmakers’, which was formed to work on the nationwide exhibition ‘Wall of Wings’ in 2019.

On display will be a circa 1920’s railway timetable print press along with tools the group use for printmaking and the process of Linocuts.

There will be a workshop on Linocut printing to coincide with the Exhibition,

on 15/16 May, facilitated by Jo Holdsworth - information will be at the Gallery.

What is the appeal of doing Linocut?

Group member Karen Thio, the creator of a wonderful print she calls ‘Magpie drinking’, said art was always her passion and after leaving school she attended Sydney College of Art and the National Art School, her

specialty being printmaking.

She entered the workforce and for 40 years she concentrated on work and family.

Now retired she has thrown herself back into her printmaking.

She loves the process and design, she finds the etching soothing and loves the surprise reward when

the print is revealed at the end of the process.

Karen’s favourite subject is birds and has been handraising companion parrots for fifteen years.

Spending a lot of time at Emerald Aviaries, Emerald Beach she knows their every detail, from their structure to each individual personality.

She expresses these

nuances in her work.

Her personal message is, “When you are young follow your heart, adjust your circumstances and you will find your way back to art.”

What a Relief opens May 8th until May 31 at Woolgoolga Gallery, 73 Turon Pde, Woolgoolga.

Open daily 10am - 4pm entry is gold coin.

Wiigulga Sports Complex siteworks commence

q Local stakeholders and subcontractors of the Wiigulga Sports Complex gathered together to celebrate the commencement of construction works on the site last Wednesday. Photo: Gurmesh Singh.

THE commencement of construction works on the highly anticipated $23.1m Wiigulga Sports Complex at Woolgoolga was celebrated by local stakeholders involved in the project last Wednesday.

A traditional smoking ceremony was carried out on site to celebrate the Gumbaynggirr name for the new multipurpose sporting facility.

Wiigulga refers to the black apple tree, which is found locally and on the site.

Twelve local subcontractors and consultants who have been engaged to work with Lahey Constructions on the new complex were welcomed to the site by Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan MP, State Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh MP and Coffs Harbour Mayor Councillor Denise Knight.

More local subcontractors will work on the build as the project progresses.

Federal Member for Page

Kevin Hogan and Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh both described the project as a “game changer” for the entire Northern Beaches area.

“Our community has been fighting to make this a reality for over 10 years,” Mr Hogan said.

“It will allow Woolgoolga to host major sporting and cultural events, drawing more people to our region.

“This project is all about creating and supporting local jobs - it will create over 140 jobs during construction and support many more into the future.”

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said he was proud that this exciting project has been owned and driven every step of the way by the local community.

“The building design reflects our local Indigenous heritage as well as the multicultural mix of the Northern Beaches.” Mr Singh said.

“This new complex is a

game changer for the Coffs Coast and I look forward to seeing this dynamic precinct come to life.”

Coffs Harbour City Council Mayor Councillor Denise Knight said, “This has been a community-led and community-focused project from its very beginnings, so I’m delighted to see that so many local tradies and businesses will be working on the build and fit-out.

“This is a great example of how major stimulation projects are vital for the local economy as we continue to recover from the pandemic,” Cr Knight said.

“I’m also delighted to see how the Indigneous name for the Wiigulga Sports Complex has been embraced and celebrated by all.

“Huge congratulations must go to everyone involved in this project, in particular the tireless community working group led by Alastair Milroy.”

The project vision for Wiigulga Sports Complex is to

deliver an inclusive, vibrant and healthy community space for locals and visitors to gather, play, compete, practice, learn, perform and celebrate.

The project includes outdoor West Woolgoolga Playing Fields to cater for AFL and cricket, with tournament overlay for touch football, as well as multi-use fields, and will include lighting, drainage and amenities.

The Northern Beaches

Multi-Purpose Centre will include two indoor courts (basketball and netball), a stage, kitchen, multi-purpose rooms and amenities.

Civil works will include roadways, shared pathways, car parks and services.

The Wiigulga Sports Complex project was made possible through joint funding from the Australian Government through the Building Better Regions

Fund, a State Government election commitment funded in the 2019-20 Budget under the Stronger Communities stream and Coffs Harbour City Council.

The Federal Government contributed $10 million to the project, the State Government contributed $8 million and Coffs Harbour City Council is providing the balance.

The project is expected to be completed by late 2022.

Coffs Harbour and improve the health and well-being of older women.

Bob Piper is an outstanding community leader, whose extensive contributions over many years have improved the lives of locals.

This includes involvement with local government, RFS, SES, Corindi Beach Reserve, Regional Landcare, Upper Corindi Forest 2 Coast, Australians in Retirement, Red Cross, Red Rock Bowling Club, Red Rock-Corindi SLSC and the Corindi Beach Progress Association.

When asked why he was involved in so many volunteer organisations Bob told News Of The Area, “It all started because I had a sense of personal commitment to getting the job done, and it looked like no one else was stepping up, so I just saw it as an opportunity to jump in and

get things done, and I’ve been doing that ever since.”

Lorraine said, “I am driven by a passion for our community and wanting to improve life for local people, particularly older women who are often overlooked.”

Ken has been painting for 30 years and said, “Art is truly therapeutic, and the Arts Group provides a great environment for people to interact socially while doing something creative and rewarding.”

In presenting the awards, Mr Singh said, “Ken, Lorraine and Bob showcase the qualities of seniors who make the Coffs Coast the best place to live in NSW, I congratulate and thank them for their generous contributions, remarkable skills and extensive knowledge which continues to be of enormous benefit to our region.”

$2m expansion planned for Big Banana Waterpark

By Emma DARBIN

A PROPOSED $2 million expansion of the Big Banana Water Park encompassing a Duelling Raft Slide and a new children’s Wet Play Area has been lodged with Coffs Harbour City Council.

The development application for a Recreation Facility (Outdoor) - Duelling Raft Slide and Water Play Area (extension to existing Waterpark) at a cost of $2,024,000 was lodged with Council on 15 April.

The plans form Stage 2 of the development of the Big Banana Waterpark.

The proposed Wet Play Area will be located where the current inflatable slides for young children are in the existing waterpark, and

the new Duelling Raft Slide will be positioned on the far right of the waterpark beside an existing waterslide, allowing both areas to be extended.

The new Children's Pool/Water Play area will comprise a waterslide platform, mini waterslide, three mushroom rain trees, racer slide, four tipping cones, animal slide, two water cannons, and a splash pool.

The Duelling Raft Slide will feature two slides side by side allowing waterpark visitors to race each other simultaneously down both slides.

The proposed development is envisioned to complement the waterpark’s existing

waterslides and water play areas currently operating within the site and strengthen the Big Banana as a premier tourist and visitor attraction for Coffs Harbour.

The development is anticipated to create additional employment opportunities during the establishment and construction phases and increase recreational opportunities for visitors to the area and the local community.

The hours of operation are proposed to remain the same from 9am to 6pm seven days a week.

Coffs Agricultural Show: as diverse as it gets

By Andrea FERRARI

FRUITCAKES to Chooks, Papercrafts to Woodchopping; The Coffs Show celebrated the diversity of the agricultural sector which has been alive across the world for generations.

With thousands of local visitors over the threeday event, exhibitors, competitors and organisers were pleased with the outcome, despite the weather raining off Sunday’s Demolition Derby and the FMX Kaos Freestyle Motorcycle stunt show.

Chief Steward Margaret Crawley, who worked tirelessly with the Show team, took to the microphone at the close of the day to thank the invaluable efforts of the volunteers, sponsors and supporters.

“Without the supporters we wouldn’t have a show.

“And the ladies in the kitchen,” Margaret said of the helpful team making cuppas galore and sustaining the troops, “thank you, all so much.”

Next year’s show dates are 13– 15 May 2022.

Margaret made special mention of the demonstrations by the Snake Man from Reptile World who drew huge crowds.

She also noted, “It was

absolutely marvellous to have members from government offices at the Show - we were lucky to get them.

“Thanks also to Trudy Smith the face painter and the Ambulance service, as well sheep dog trials, equestrian eventers, classic cars, the showgirls and fireworks.”

Margaret urged anyone interested in helping create future Coffs Shows to contact her and join the team which meets at Boambee Hall.

Call Margaret Crawley on 0403 929 508.

Here’s a round-up of the high spots around the show.

There’s A Way To Working Kelpies Barru Working Kelpies with demonstrations by Manager, Scott Amon, has been doing the local agricultural shows for well over a decade.

“The purpose is to show to the general public the value and talents of our national working dog, the Australian Kelpie,” said Scott.

“This year we saw a packed arena and viewing stand for every demonstration and the feedback from the public was heart-warming in regard to the pleasure we were told people took from our dogs and interaction and connection with them.

“A special thanks of course to Highgrove Bathrooms (Isle Drive, Coffs Harbour) for sponsoring our attendance of the Coffs Show - which we think is a true reflection of what this great region was built on – agriculture.”

Tasty Bananas Jeff Eggins, President of The Coffs Harbour & District Banana Growers Association told News Of The Area, “It was a bit of a quiet show this year but for our purposes of connecting with the general public and getting their feedback it was really good.

“We had to convince people we were giving away bananas for free but once they chose their banana we were keen to get their preferences from the different varieties.

“The favourite banana was the same as every year – the Cavendish, and we had lots of enthusiastic reviews about the little Ducasse banana.

“It’s been around for about ten years and while the supermarkets don’t stock this variety, people can buy them at the Growers Markets which is good for these local businesses.

“We had a special visitor - Kevin Hogan – the Member for Page.

“Towards the end of

“This is the only Agricultural Show the BGA attends because Coffs is our immediate area.

“I’d like to see the show promoted more widely in the future to get the numbers back up and to have the blueberry growers involved too.”

Wood Block Choppers Peter Shipman, judge and wood supplier said, “The Woodchoppers events went fairly well considering most of the choppers haven’t competed for some time because of the present (COVID) situation but shows and events are starting to kick off again.

The North Coast Axemen’s Association competed throughout the day in the wood chopping arena.

“All feedback from the audience was very positive.

“People are very pleased that we are back in action.

“All the contestants were fairly happy with the day apart from it being a little wet under foot, they were grateful that it didn’t rain on the day.

“High points of the day were from two competitors mainly Andrew Moran winning two events and Dan Shipman coming from a back mark of 59 seconds to win the 12-inch or 300ml standing block chop, then winning the championship event where all axmen start on the count of three.

“The art section is open to everyone in the community, along with members of the Coffs Harbour Creative Arts Group, including the Coffs Calligraphers, and the Coffs Coast Printmakers submitting works.

“It was quite a challenge to hang so many artworks in the Gallery space, and we thank the Exhibition Committee, the judges (Helen Goldsmith and David Bromley), and all the sponsors for helping to make the Coffs Harbour Show Art Exhibition a success.

“Overall, the volunteers in attendance enjoyed excellent feedback from the visitors to the art exhibition with many positive comments shared over the two days.

“People's Choice was won by well-known local artist Jim Tozer for his painting, ‘Old Church at Tarana’.

“We're very much looking forward to an even bigger and brighter 2022 Coffs Harbour Show with another fabulous array of local artistic talent on show.”

Judy Whiting, Committee member added, "You meet incredible people.

"It's such a great activity, and it's addictive."

"You just can't have one orchid," Bruce corroborated.

“We showed a very nice display of orchids and received quite a deal of interest from the public curious about the many and different types and colour range of plants on display.

“All in all, a very nice display in the promotion of growing orchids for the general public.”

Aaron added, “My grandfather was mates with Bill, whose house I had visited a bit when I was very young, a lovely man, with a massive poultry collection.

“I've never been to another yard that had as many.”

“All the pieces in these categories are made from scratch – you gotta get down and dirty,” Margaret said.

“You begin by working out what you’re going to design and then use anything from the toolkit such as stencils, moulds, little metal cogs, a household nail.

“I’m like a magpie collecting all the bits and pieces, even squashing down bottle tops and getting creative.

“We use paints, waxes and all sorts of things.”

“Introducing people to alpacas and explaining the difference between them and their close cousin, the llama.

“We’re educating people about the industry and promoting our Australianmade alpaca products such as felt hats, beanies, shawls, rugs and gloves.

“Australia has the biggest herd of alpacas outside of South America, and before New Zealand.”

2021 Science and Engineering Challenge a success

By Emma DARBIN

HIGH school students from across the region enjoyed competing in the annual Coffs Coast Science and Engineering Challenge at Woolgoolga High School last Tuesday.

A total of 240 students from seven local high schools participated in the full-day event, and were supported by more than 30 volunteers on the day.

The Challenge is designed by the University of Newcastle, who along with their program partners Office of the Chief Scientist and Atlassian brought the event to Woolgoolga High School, which hosts the event every year for the Coffs Coast.

All of the event organising committee and supervisors on the day are volunteers, many of whom are from the Woolgoolga Rotary Club and Woolgoolga Lions Club, who love to see the students getting involved in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) activities.

The goal of the Challenge is to inspire young people about the opportunities available in science, technology and engineering through fun and practical hands-on activities.

The Challenge was a huge success again in 2021, with Year 9 and 10 students participating.

Due to a last minute withdrawal of one of the local high schools, a Woolgoolga High Year 7 class stepped up to compete against peers that were two or three years older than them.

“And they did well,” said Chair of the Coffs Coast Science and Engineering Challenge Patty Delaney.

“Students showed great enthusiasm and determination to win for their school.

“Teachers from the schools involved have indicated that the Challenge has had a significant, positive and lasting effect on the students’ approach to science and technology in the classroom.”

Woolgoolga High School won the event again this year by only one point, with South Grafton High School coming a close second and Evans River School in third place.

Woolgoolga High School head science teacher Phillip Dalton congratulated the school’s Science and Engineering Challenge team on this year’s win.

“All students worked well together to solve the problems presented to them; great teamwork which paid off with a win on the day,” Mr Dalton said.

The Woolgoolga High School team will now progress to the State Finals in Newcastle later this year.

School Footy Program encourages activity

By Sandra MOON

TWENTY six William Bayldon school students are participating in a new initiative to encourage physical activity, develop skills and relationships.

The William Bayldon Talented Rugby League Program runs every school morning from 7.45 am to 8.45am and sees the twenty six chosen participants

receive training from the National Rugby League (NRL) Development Team.

An organiser of the programme and teacher at the school Paul Matten told News Of The Area, “The idea came from student interest in rugby and is another way of giving them here and doing something early and getting them ready for

a positive day.

“It runs from 7.45 to 8.45 and then after that they have a nice healthy brekkie which I prepare before their training and drills and they have that and get off to class,” he said.

The program began with try outs and students were picked for athletic prowess, commitment, determination and willingness to improve.

q It’s post training breakfast at school every Wednesday for Shamira Gordon and Jade Braam.

Also on their ability to be a positive role model within the school.

Selected students participate in the program for one hour before school on Monday and Wednesday mornings.

The NRL development team puts the students through a variety of drills and activities to ensure students are reaching their full potential.

The program also focuses on team building and personal development to ensure our students are ready and able to

be future leaders within the community.

The feedback so far has been great according to Mr Matten.

“Students have all attended regularly and they show up bright and early and ready for action.”

“It’s something nice to be doing of a morning, running around with your mates and they all enjoy it and come up to brekkie smiling.

“It’s a nice way to develop relationships between the students as well,” he said.

Bellingen Shire Council Mayor, Cr Dominic King said, “Repairs and basic maintenance skills can help the community to divert items from landfill by developing practical knowledge and skills to reduce our collective impact

on the environment.”

“The Bowerhouse Community Reuse Centre in Raleigh aims to reduce the amount of waste entering landfill by reclaiming household items for reuse, repair and resale at affordable prices and encouraging the local community to engage in repurposing of preloved goods.”

The ‘Fix it’ demos are running on Saturday 15 May between 10.30am until 2.30pm and there is no need to book, just drop in to The Bowerhouse, Short Cut Road, Raleigh.

Basic Plumbing 1.30pm – 2.30pm Learn how to change tap washers & o-Rings, deal with stiff garden taps, use plumbers’ tape and simple gutter repairs /replacement.

This project is a NSW EPA Waste Less, Recycle More initiative funded from the waste levy.

$13.3M Trades Training Hub officially opened at CHEC

By David TUNE

APRIL 27 saw the official opening of the new NSW TAFE’s $13.3m Trades Training Hub at the Coffs Harbour Education Campus (CHEC).

The facility was declared open by Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee and local member Gurmesh Singh after a welcome and traditional smoking ceremony

by Aunty Jenny and Troy Robinson.

The extensive industrystandard training building will cater to Plumbing and Carpentry trade training for apprentices and includes a two-metre-deep soil pit that allows real life situations in plumbing, and large areas that allow construction of buildings on site.

“The 2500 square-metre industry-standard training facility will include new specialist trade training spaces in areas including carpentry and joinery, construction, electrical trades, waterproofing, shopfitting/

cabinet making, kitchen design, plumbing and water operations,” said Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh.

TAFE is currently experiencing record numbers of students in Plumbing and Carpentry, and the new training hub will allow up to 100 students each day to learn and practice real life skills that will translate directly into their jobs.

Local industry representatives also attended the opening and were excited about the improved training opportunities that the new centre offered.

Inspire Homes Building Supervisor ‘Bear’ told News Of The Area, “We have four apprentices who are now learning their trade skills here, and we are impressed that they are getting real life experience through hands on realistic scenarios, and that they are getting real life skills that translate directly to the worksite.”

Minister Lee said, “TAFE NSW trains 80 per cent of the state’s apprentices, and this new trades hub marks another significant investment in the future of education in NSW.”

Supermoon in the pink

By Andrea FERRARI A WHOPPER of a supermoon lit up the night sky on April 27, inspiring the astronomer in us to snap and share across social media.

News Of The Area asked Andrew Jacob, Curator and Astronomer at Sydney Observatory for some juicy

facts.

“The Moon's orbit about Earth is an ellipse with Earth at one of the foci.

“At one point in its orbit the Moon will be closer than at any other point.

“If that point, called 'perigee', coincides with a full (or new) moon it is termed a 'supermoon'.

“However, the precise

q Iain Bennett at Sandy Beach, member of Coffs Harbour Weather Watch Facebook Group

definition varies.

“Some say it is a full moon within 24 hours of the Moon being at perigee, others say it is simply whenever a full Moon occurs with the Moon closer to Earth than 360,00km.

“In many cultures each lunar month, or sometimes just the full moon itself, is named.

“Often the names we hear

q Troy Robinson and Aunty Jenny at the smoking ceremony. Photo: David Tune.

are from Native American culture or traditional American folklore.

“A Pink moon refers to the April moon and is a reference to pink spring flowers that appear in northern America, apparently the Moss Phlox (Phlox subulata).”

Supermoons are not particularly rare, said Andrew.

“There are three to five

q Captured from her veranda at Korora, overlooking Solitary Islands, by Evol Coutman

every year (or more if we include new moons at perigee - but of course we don't see these).”

“Supermoons have no effect on weather but because the Moon is closer at perigee, it does raise higher tides.”

Don't miss the Blood supermoon on May 26, said Andrew.

“To an astronomer it will be a Total Lunar Eclipse.”

Visible from anywhere in Australia, look eastwards

from 7:45pm AEST to see the Moon darken as it slides into Earth's shadow.

From 9:09pm to 9:28pm the Moon will be completely within the darkest part of Earth's shadow and will appear a reddish colour - just what shade of red we will have to wait and see, added Andrew.

Thanks go to Sandy Beach resident, Iain Bennett and to Evol Coutman from Korora for their photos.

The Pot Holey City of Coffs

By Andrea FERRARI

POTHOLES in and around the Coffs Coast have fired up frustration within the community.

It’s not so much the potholes themselves, it’s what the Council is perceived to be doing about smoothing over the issue.

One point of local embarrassment is Coffs Harbour Airport exit road.

Not the main driveway – it’s the road that taxis

are required to take from the taxi rank (Fellowship Drive) which connects with the smartened-up Airport Drive.

Paul Mech, a local taxi driver and founder of the Coffs Cabbie Correspondent Facebook Group told News Of The Area, “The airport exit road has definitely got better but it’s only a short-term solution.

“Customers had commented on the state of the road after the rain.

q Paul Mech, a local taxi driver and founder of the Coffs Cabbie Correspondent Facebook Group.

“I joked that it was ‘off roading near to town’, but the unfunny side is that we’re in vehicles that are not equipped for it, ie, my cab.

“What they (Council) need to do is rip it up and reseal it to look respectable, to a certain standard and to be pothole resistant.

“We need to create a good impression for tourists coming to the city.

“Our regulars are used to it but with the new direct flights into Coffs the region is attracting new tourists and we need to create a better impression than this,” Mr Mech said.

Mick Raby, Director Sustainable Infrastructure, Coffs Harbour City Council has spoken publicly, including on Triple M’s Moffee for breakfast radio show, apologizing for the state of the region’s roads immediately after the lengthy downpours.

He said CHCC would fill in the potholes for a quick fix to be safer but that with the extended period of wet weather the water tables across the Local Government Area (LGA) had risen significantly, resulting in the base course under the asphalt being soaked and thus significantly weakened.

“It’s not really a surface issue.

“It’s what’s happening underneath,” said Mr Raby.

“That’s why it will take a while to fix up permanently and we need to be patient.

“Drive safely, to the conditions,” he said.

Coffs Harbour Courthouse welcomes Sheriff’s Officer recruits

By Andrea FERRARI

GRADUATES of the largest ever cohort of probationary Sheriff’s Officers are on their way to Coffs Harbour Courthouse.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh congratulated the new Probationary Sheriff’s Officers of Alpha Class 2021 who will put their skills into practice as they are deployed to Coffs Harbour through May. “We’re looking forward to two new graduates taking up their posts at Coffs Harbour Courthouse,” Mr Singh said.

“Sheriff’s Officers sometimes face a tough job while protecting people who attend court, and we thank them for their service and dedication.”

Speaking at the graduation ceremony in Sydney, Attorney General Mark Speakman thanked the

31 new additions to the Office of the NSW Sheriff, which has existed for nearly 200 years.

“Today we celebrate the future potential of these Sheriff’s Officers, who will play a critical role in keeping

“Sheriff's Officers are unsung heroes who often forge long and rewarding careers.

“This year’s graduates come from diverse backgrounds, including NSW Police, Corrective Services, the Australian Defence Force, retail and other private industries such as aviation, tourism and hospitality,” Tracey Hall said.

More than 300 Sheriff’s Officers carry out court security and administer the jury system in 170 locations in NSW. They also perform field duties such as seizures of assets, enforcing warrants and evictions.

Over the past year, the Sheriff’s Officers have stepped out of their normal role to also assist in bushfire relief and COVID-19 efforts.

Huge gala day kicks off Group 2 Junior Rugby League season

q The Woolgoolga Seahorses and Orara Valley Axemen play off in their under 13’s match.

By Aiden BURGESS

AFTER waiting months to once again play the game they love, rugby league juniors from across the Mid North Coast returned to the field for the first time in 2021.

The Group 2 Junior Rugby League season kicked off with a huge Mini/Mod gala day at Geoff King Motors Oval and surrounding fields.

Over 90 teams ranging from under 6’s to under 16’s took part in the one-day festival of footy which had a grand final day atmosphere.

Group 2 Junior Rugby League clubs were all in action in the one location, as teams from Kempsey through to Woolgoolga

played off in one of the biggest days of rugby league the region has ever seen.

Woolgoolga Seahorses under 13’s coach Mick Fuller was one of the thousands of people who were part of the gala day.

Fuller said the massive gala day was a great way to start the season.

“It was a great atmosphere and it was like a grand final day,” he said.

“It was a great day of rugby league.”

Coach Fuller told News Of The Area of the excitement his young Seahorses players had of taking to the field for the first time this season.

“Everyone was keen to play as we normally start before the school holidays,”

he said.

“So they were chomping at the bit to play.”

Fuller said the gala day held a new type of experience for his players

this year.

“It was the first year they played International Laws which are the same rules as the grown-ups.”

Fuller said it was

important for the sport to focus on juniors.

“The biggest challenge is having the kids turn up, because there are a lot of other sports they can

choose to play,” he said.

a win against the reigning premiers Grafton Ghosts.

The Comets are under no illusion of the challenge they face against the Sea Eagles, with club president Steve Gooley stating on their social media group page that, “We will need to be at our best to take on the undefeated Macksville Sea Eagles this coming Sunday.”

The Sea Eagles are the only undefeated team left after winning their opening three matches of the season.

The Bellingen/Valley Dorrigo Magpies host the South Grafton Rebels with

both sides coming off Round 3 wins.

The Magpies won their first match of the season beating the Woolgoolga Seahorses away from home, while the Rebels also won their first match of the season getting the job done away from home in beating the Comets.

The Woolgoolga Seahorses and Grafton Ghosts will look to bounce back from last start losses when they clash in Woolgoolga this weekend.

Both the Seahorses and Ghosts lost at home in Round 3.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

By Manny WOOD

Vendor claim for delayed settlement JOEL wants a “sea change” and after finding his dream house, begins negotiations with the owner, Kathryn.

Joel has a lot to organise before he moves, so he asks Kathryn if she would be agreeable to a settlement period of 65 days.

Kathryn really wanted a fast settlement, but reluctantly agrees and the contract is signed.

In the meantime, circumstances change for Joel and he informs Kathryn that he can settle on day 40, being 25 days ahead of the agreed settlement date.

Kathryn is happy that settlement will occur early.

The day before the new settlement date, Joel is notified by his bank that the settlement will need to be postponed for 12 days.

Kathryn is very upset as she did not want the initial long settlement period, and now she will have to change her plans at the last minute.

Kathryn had ensured that the contract for the sale included an additional condition that if the purchaser failed to meet settlement date, then the purchaser must pay interest at 10% pa charged daily until completion.

Kathryn has calculated this cost to be over $3,000.

Kathryn asks her solicitor to ensure that Joel pays the interest at settlement.

Unfortunately for Kathryn, she is advised that she is not entitled to the interest payment, as the original contract had a 65-day settlement period and the conditions of the contract stipulate that interest is only payable if the contract is not settled on the completion date.

The contract was due for completion at day 65.

It is important to understand the implications of negotiating changes to contracts and to ensure expectations are kept in check.

Dear Jasminda,

At what point is it okay to prevent kids from taking over a cake and ruining it with their sub-par decorating skills?

Mrs Georgina L. Dear Georgina,

In support of Salute DEAR News Of The Area,

WELL, as usual, Council has used its power to get rid of a perfectly good cafe in Salute at the Jetty and replace them, with the feeble excuse that as their lease expired, a new person applied who put in a ‘better application’ - whatever that is.

The new application was accepted and these poor girls who have spent over three years building up a great business are now OUT. It certainly is ‘who you know’ isn't it.

They ought to be reinstated immediately, as there is no valid reason for them to be replaced.

Spending all those years building up a good business and having it all in place for someone new to move straight into.

Good work again Council, can you ever make a good decision.

Well done - NOT! Regards D. WILSON.

Get off the footpath!

DEAR News Of The Area,

IT is of great concern the number of pushbike riders using the footpath in Ocean Parade.

Adult cyclists need to be reminded that unless it’s a shared path, the law is that an adult rider must use the road unless supervising a bicycle rider under 16, and then they can use the footpath.

Last week an adult cyclist was riding on the footpath past Park Beach Bowls Club and while avoiding two walkers, knocked over one of our members.

An ambulance was called and thankfully our member did not suffer any serious injury.

This is an example of why I believe that cyclists should have a number plate

for identification purposes, and be insured.

On this occasion the cyclist did stop however it could’ve been a situation where the rider did not stop and if our member had experienced serious injury she would’ve been in a position of having to pay for any medical expenses.

Trish WELSH, Coffs Harbour.

We can afford kerbside pick up DEAR News Of The Area, I AM so pleased to read that the Coffs Council has a $235 million bank balance.

WOW, so now there is NO excuse whatsoever for them to say they cannot

afford Council kerbside pick up.

After the recent floods, lots of people need kerbside assistance.

And don’t say to use the local rubbish facility.

That’s impossible, when

some aged people do NOT have a trailer/or even a car to do this.

I hope common sense prevails and kerb side assistance resumes.

Bring on the next election soon!

Kind regards, Bev ROWLING, Moonee Beach.

Appropriate local DA? DEAR News Of The Area, IT seems everyone has a favourite story when it comes to poor Council decision making here in our Coffs LGA.

I RECKON there are two distinct types of parenting with the exception of some parents who are floaters and some who have not yet worked out what their parenting style is. Did you ever watch that episode of The Brady Bunch when Alice's Special Operations Commander sister came to stay and treated the kids as though they were Navy Seals instead of delicate blended-family siblings?

Well, some parents are like that.

Everything is efficient and organised.

The children make their bed so neatly you can bounce a coin on it, and they have little checklists on the fridge and maybe some good behaviour stickers because who doesn't get gratification from a coloured piece of paper in the shape of an apple after spending two hours cleaning the windows?

The other side of the coin is the laissez-faire style of parenting where everyone has a choice. These parents let their kids resolve their own issues, rarely stepping in, but unfortunately creating narcissists verging on psychopaths who end up as self-described entrepreneurs flogging multi-level-marketing products when they're not too busy having epiphanies or activating others so they can relinquish their hard-earned cash on ice baths and/or chakra cleansing.

Now, I feel you are definitely in the Alice's Twin Sister category, and who could blame you? If you have baked the cake, why would you let your sweet and sticky minions take to it with colourclashing smarties, marbled icing and plastic unicorn candles? I bet you had a vision, Georgina, that possibly included some handcrafted Blue Mockingbird Eggs, baby blue ganache, and a nest made of spun toffee, all of it balanced on the choc-dipped perfection of a montane forest tree branch that you had flown in from Mexico.

Next time make the cake and decorate it in sweet isolation, away from prying eyes and pesky fingers.

And would you place a business, with its demands for multiple vehicle access and on and off street parking meters from an already busy and inadequate intersection which is the singular access point to a large residential estate?

Hopefully, common sense will prevail.

Congratulations to Local Tradies

From the Mayor’s desk

By Mayor Denise KNIGHT Coffs Harbour City Council

IT was great to be back on the Wiigulga Sports Complex site recently to mark the start of major works.

It was also an opportunity to again underline the significance of the local Gumbaynggirr culture to the project.

As well as the Wiigulga name - which refers to the black apple tree which is found

locally and on the site - artwork by Mullawaybased Gumbaynggirr artist Tulli Stevens will be the basis of the main design theme for the Complex.

To mark the occasion, local Elders Uncle Tony Perkins and Uncle Ian Brown provided a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony for the site.

This latest milestone was also an opportunity to officially welcome to the site all the local subcontractors and consultants who will be working on the project, along with the main contractor Lahey Constructions.

Around 16 tradies have already been contracted and more will come on board as the project moves forward.

They are Mid North Coast Contractors, Nambucca Plumbing, Del Consulting, Boral, TFH, Faircloth and Reynolds, RLE, Wormald, Northrop, De Groot and Benson, Glenn

Haig and Partners, Clarence Consultants, Newnham Karl Weir and Partners, Coates, Coffs Coast Cranes and Acheson Building Certification.

This has been a community-led and community-focused project from its very beginnings, so I’m delighted to see that so many local tradies and businesses will be working on the build and fit-out.

Around 140 jobs are expected to be created during the construction phase alone.

This is also a great example of how major stimulation projects are vital for the local economy as we continue to recover from the pandemic.

Sod Turned at Cultural and Civic Space Site A big thank you to Uncle Mark Flanders and Tina Powell from the Yandaarra Advisory Committee for performing a Smoking

Ceremony to highlight the start of work on the new Cultural and Civic Space building.

It was the perfect way to mark a momentous day.

Welcome on Board I very much enjoyed meeting the generous locals who are the latest members of Council’s Positive Ageing Advisory Committee and Disability Inclusion and Access Advisory Committee.

These are important roles and I know all involved are looking forward to working with the new committee members.

These are voluntary positions and it’s another example of the amazing generosity of local residents who are happy to share their time, expertise and knowledge – for free – simply to help their community.

Thank you all.

Very Sad Sight for Locals and Tourism at Coffs Creek Walkway DEAR News Of The Area,

IT is sad to see what is left of our lovely recycled walkway and small jetty right in full view of the Dolphin Marine Conservation Park.

We started with a small hole two years ago which quickly got fenced around instead of fixing and two years later it has just crumbled into a terrible state and the fences (which we hire of course) have just been getting added to around it.

This makes us all sad that there is no money for

maintenance of such a lovely area.

We don't want anything more or new without fixing what we already have.

We are so busy trying to make bigger and better things with no concern for what is collapsing in such a popular family area.

It is shocking this has been allowed to deteriorate to such a bad condition.

I have spoken to many council workers in the area, who say they have red flagged the area but nothing gets done.

We now have the

pavers on the existing walkway caving in, more areas collapsing, and the post on the jetty is broken.

q

Is the Council going to put more fences up instead of fixing these problems?

Who is responsible for maintenance to make sure what we already have is maintained and looked after?

Fences have been added to over time.

AFL North Coast - Round 2.

THE Lismore Swans maintained their position at the top of the AFL North Coast ladder after an emphatic 85-point win over Port Macquarie.

The Magpies faced the longest road trip in the competition, some 358km, and the distance and the opposition proved too great to overcome.

The Swans winning margin could've been even greater if it weren't for wayward kicking in front of goal.

Coffs Breakers are also undefeated after two rounds, proving too strong for new local rival the Northern Beaches.

A large crowd converged on Centennial Oval for the Blues' first senior home game since 2006 but it was the Breakers who proved the stronger, particularly after half time.

Nambucca Valley suffered under a weight of numbers in its clash against Sawtell/Toormina.

The Saints put their foot down to ensure the victory before loaning a couple of players to the Nambucca team in the second half to ensure the match remained a contest.

The encounter at Casino between the Lions and Grafton wasn't much of a contest.

The Tigers won easily, kicking a large total of 34.26 (230).

In the women's competition, the Coffs Breakers proved too strong for the Northern Beaches to get the same result they earned in last year's grand final.

The Lismore Swans women played their first match in the AFL North Coast after an opening round bye and got their season off to a winning start with a hard fought 14-point win over Port Macquarie.

TASKMASTER

SBS VICELAND, 8.30pm

FRIDAY

KEEPING FAITH

ABC, 10pm

The oft-muttered statement, “Not in front of the kids,” takes on a twisted new meaning in tonight’s season two finale of this enjoyable Welsh thriller. This time, it’s not in reference to eating that block of chocolate away from prying eyes; though, in truth, you may need a sugar hit after sitting through the episode’s intense circumstances. Breeze (Rhashan Stone) gives Evan (Bradley Freegard) an ultimatum. As the clock ticks on the Corran Energy deal, Faith (Eve Myles, above) rushes to find the woman who could overturn Madlen’s (Aimee-Ffion Edwards) conviction. The truth comes out – and so will season three – in due time.

The Brits are old pros when it comes to concocting playful panel shows, but Taskmaster takes the cake for utter frivolity and pointlessness; and that’s what makes it a must-watch 60 minutes. Presenters Greg Davies (pictured) and Alex Horne come up with inane, laugh-out-loud, often disgusting and extremely creative challenges for the five comedians game enough to jump aboard the series for a wacky and unpredictable adventure. Tonight, in “Lotta Soup”, Jessica Knappett’s cheerful attitude is rigorously tested by a former traffic warden. Rhod Gilbert endangers Alex’s life again, and Phil Wang has a great time with some squeezable mayonnaise.

HOW TO STAY MARRIED

WIN, 9pm

The undertone of this Aussie comedy, starring Lisa McCune, who has made a name for herself on stage as well on screen, and stand-up comedian Peter Helliar, is delightful. Created by Helliar, the comedy traverses the relationship of couple Greg (Helliar, above) and Em (McCune) with lighthearted warmth and wit. Returning with season three, it’s easy to see why the show wins families’ hearts and funny bones.

Tonight, Em pitches a new book idea to boss Audrey (Judith Lucy), but is lured into a meeting with cricketer Adam Gilchrist instead.

Meanwhile, Greg is determined to outdo the President of the Parents and Friends committee.

Coastal Premier League continues with Round 5

By Aiden BURGESS

EARLY season ladder leaders the Boambee Bombers host the third placed Port Saints in the match of the round on Saturday at Ayrshire Park, during Round 5 of the Coastal Premier League season.

The Bombers have won their opening three matches of the season including last weekend's 5-2 victory against the Kempsey Saints, and now a host a Port Saints side also coming off a last round win in the form of a 2-1 victory at home against the Coffs Coast Tigers.

The Bombers and Saints both had successful seasons in last year's Coastal Premier

League, with the Bombers finishing runners up and the Saints third.

Bombers president Fiona Clancy said the side was starting to gel under the guidance of two stalwarts of the club.

“Our boys are looking forward to the Saints game, and we have started the season with some messy football, not unexpected with four players coming into the team this season,” she said.

“However, now four games in they are starting to gel together.

“Like a lot of squads this season we have a good blend of experience and fresh faces of youth who are willing to

learn.

“What better mentors are there for our younger players than having Luke France and Brady Parker out there with them.”

The Coffs Coast Tigers host the Northern Storm tomorrow afternoon in a pivotal match between two clubs coming off last start losses.

The Tigers and Storm both lost 2-1 to the two Port Macquarie clubs, with the Tigers losing away from home to Port Saints, while the Storm went down at home to Port United.

Comets go down 2618 to the Rebels THE Coffs Harbour Comets went down 26-18 to the South Grafton Rebels in the Tooheys New Group Two Rugby League competition last Saturday evening at Geoff King Motors Oval.

The Comets made another explosive start scoring two tries in the opening period to lead 12-6 at half time but the Rebels

fought back in the second half scoring three tries against the Comet’s one to take the points.

Assistant Comets coach Miles Fairbank reflected on the game of two halves.

“The first half was a tough arm wrestle, we were 12-6 up at half time, but it was still anybody's game.

“In the second half the Rebels had over a 90% completion rate which took

its toll on us and allowed them to put a few points on us.

“You are never going to beat the Rebels when they play good quality footy and complete so highly,” said Fairbank.

The Comets’ next match is against the Macksville Sea Eagles on Saturday 8 May at 2:45pm at Geoff King Motors Oval.

after three matches in the Tooheys New Group 2 Rugby League competition.

Coach Scott Street was impressed with another dominant performance whose team conceded their first try in three matches.

“I'm really impressed with how the girls played against the Rebels.

“The way they stuck

to our structure and controlled the game is what we have been aiming for and to see them put it all together was very pleasing.

“Our halves Elizabeth Kelly and Riki Blaikie took full control of our attack and used the speed we have out wide to our full advantage,” said Scott.

The Comets’ next match is against the Macksville Sea Eagles on Saturday 9 May at 12:15pm at Geoff King Motors Oval.

“The match went back and forth, Aiden Molly's home run helped the Woolgoolga game, but it was the Dodgers that put runs on late in the game to come away with the win,” said Sam Starting pitchers were Aiden Lee for the Dodgers and Aaron Kennedy for the Bluesox.

Big things are set to take place on the baseball field in coming months.

“Over the next few weeks we will begin preparing players for the senior country champs to be held in Lismore in August this year,” said Sam. “Also over the June long weekend players will be competing in the Tamworth June long weekend carnival.

“Junior baseball returns next week and any players from 5 to 18 that would like to give the game a go are invited to come and have a go,” said Sam.

North Coast Open attracts best in the land STARTING this morning, the Coffs Harbour Squash Centre will be buzzing for three days with its first Professional Squash Association (PSA) and graded tournament since Covid-19 came into effect more than 12 months ago.

The tour guidelines have been welcomed by the Australian players, who are eager to be getting back into action in the North Coast Open at the Korora courts.

Australian Open Champion Rhys Dowling (NT) will be the number two seed in the men’s draw and top seed for the Open is fellow Territorian Joseph White.

Nicholas Calvert (Qld) and Malaysian Bryan Lim are the number three and four seeds.

These players are all based in Brisbane but will encounter tough opponents with the winners of first round matches.

Jack Hudson (Tas) against David Turner (Qld) looks a likely match with the winner to meet the top seed in tonight’s quarter finals.

The winner of the Solaman Nowrozi (Qld) and Dylan Molinaro (Vic) match is set

to meet Calvert.

Nowrozi has previously been a competitor in Coffs Harbour and is looking forward to returning to one of his favourite events.

The Women’s Open brings together one of the strongest line ups in Australia this year for the Challenge with top seed Jessica Turnbull (Qld) possibly meeting Maggie Marshall (Tas) in the quarter finals, the winner facing a likely meeting with Christine Nunn (Vic) in Saturday’s semi-finals.

In the bottom half of the draw, special interest will focus on homegrown number two seed Tamika Hunt who has been one of the form players on the women’s circuit this year making a return after a twoyear absence.

Hunt’s first match will be against the winner of the Jeccica Osborne v Heather Pilley match.

A quarter final between number four seed Selena Shaikh and unseeded Alex Hayden (SA) could prove to be one of the best matches on Friday night for a spot in Saturday’s semi against Hunt.

"We finally had some dry weather which gave us two weeks of good training, with the rain it's been a very stop-start season and we've only got twelve in the squad, but we're going in the right direction and can start developing some combinations.

"The effort level was there, it was extremely good, in what was a pretty physical match," said Darren.

In the under 15s, Loki Marchant ran from central defence to open the scoring with a towering header from a corner kick but Valentine FC rallied strongly to win the match

It’s a great opportunity for local spectators to come to the Squash Centre in Korora and see the quality of players taking part for World Ranking points, as both Hunt and Nunn were Australian Commonwealth Games representatives in 2018.

"We are very pleased to acknowledge the support of sponsors in bringing the North Coast Open Challenger Tour 3 to the Coffs Coast Region," the Coffs Harbour

Squash centre’s Peter Saxby said.

"This is the first tournament of this class here in Australia and we are confident that the event will be a great success.

"Special thanks to Coffs Harbour City Council for their support in bringing the event to Coffs Harbour starting on Friday."

The tournament program will start this morning at 10am for both Open Men and Women’s events.

Records tumble as over five thousand players register to play football

By David WIGLEY OVER five thousand players registered to play football on the North Coast as participation records tumbled across football clubs in the region.

Registrations increased by 40% compared to 2020 resulting in the North Coast recording the highest annual growth in Northern New South Wales.

This year also surpassed the 2019 pre-COVID registrations, resulting in a full recovery plus an additional growth of 7% from the COVID impacted season.

Sawtell FC registered 553 players across all age groups and the numbers are still on the rise as Club President, Simon Portus, explained to News Of The Area.

“We are delighted the regos are so strong, we have 553 registered players so far and they are still going to be open for a while, so it's going to be a bumper year for sure.

“It's also particularly encouraging that our focus on building the number of girls and women in our club is being reflected in rego numbers.

“Our dedicated female change rooms are currently being built and we have really strong female participation across our junior age groups with two teams in both the under 12s and under 14s girls age groups and great senior women numbers that are

“In 2022 we are aiming to have both first and second division women's teams,” said Simon.

Coffs United broke a 53 year record, achieving their highest number of registrations in history which included a surge in female numbers as club president, Jodi Wood explained.

“Total numbers to date are 441, this is a 23% increase on 2020 numbers and 11% increase on 2019, pre-Covid.

“The biggest year we

have ever had and I am having to turn players away daily as we are full in every competitive junior team.

“It is also our biggest year for female registrations with a 21% increase in registrations from 2020 and a 9% increase in 2019.

"Umpires are not only responsible for managing the rules of the game, they also set the tone for behaviour on and off the ground, and for ensuring the safety of players during matches.

“They do a great job every week of the season and this is our chance to celebrate their contribution."

National Community Umpiring Development Manager, Damian Anderson said with more than 1.4 million people playing Australian Football, umpire numbers have never been more important.

“There are over 15,000 umpires officiating in community football matches each week and over 12% are female, a significant increase in

line with the expansion of female football,” he said.

“Community Umpiring Week is designed to increase awareness of umpiring as a choice as an additional activity to playing or choosing umpiring as a sport of choice as an alternative way to participate in the game.

“Over 94% of umpires currently play or have played junior football.

“You can play and umpire on the same day or on alternate days.

“Boambee’s overall registrations are up 10% on 2020, our biggest percentage increase is our females with them making up 20% of our.overall registrations.

“77 registered females in a small club such as ours is a testament to the club’s continued support of females in football, we are already planning for the upcoming ‘Female Football Week’ next month,” said Fiona.

General Manager for

North Coast Football, Andrew Woodward applauded the efforts of the volunteers through the pandemic.

“With the global pandemic in 2020, our registration numbers were down by 10 per cent, I thought we could get half of that back this year.

“To get all of it back so quickly and add a few hundred more than what we had in 2019 is a tribute to the hard work of the clubs.

“Club volunteers worked long and tirelessly in 2020 making football

happen, their hard work has been rewarded and that’s why we have over five thousand registrations, which is fantastic.

“We’ve seen many people switch to football from other sports, we’ve also seen new arrivals from Sydney, Melbourne and beyond as people escape the big cities after the worst of the pandemic.

“This year we’ve got more players, more teams, around 315 and a new club, BDC Barracudas.

“Football is heading in the right direction,” concluded Andrew.

Last week the national Aussie Rules community celebrated Community Umpiring Week, with the aim to encourage people to get involved in umpiring Australian Football at the community level.

Local leagues and clubs celebrated the contributions of their local umpires with various initiatives run by the clubs.

Paul Taylor from AFL North Coast acknowledged the key role that local umpires play.

Port United weather the Storm

By Aiden BURGESS

THE Coffs Harbour Snappers have earnt early season bragging rights with a victory against the SCU Marlins in their local derby at Marlin Park.

The Snappers prevailed 31-10 in the second round of the Upper Mid North Coast Rugby Union season.

After combining forces as the Harbour Knights to take part in last year's New England Rugby Union season, the two clubs met for the first time since 2019.

The Snappers won the territory battle early jumping out to a 9-0 lead courtesy of three straight penalty goals.

In the face of constant Snappers surges, the Marlins resilient defence inside their own 22 kept them in the

contest.

While the Snappers dominated field position, it would be the Marlins who would score the first try of the match.

An intercept and long range run against the run of play saw the Marlins cut the lead to 9-5.

The Snappers would hit back with a vengeance, as their go-forward run took its toll as they finally broke through the Marlins resistance with a beautiful sweeping play out wide to take a 16-5 lead into halftime.

An inspired start to the second half from the home side saw the Marlins early forward pressure result in a try to Chris Wiggins which cut the lead to 16-10.

A grandstand finish seemed on the cards, as the

HEATHER Duncan, the Development Officer for the Indigenous Girls Academy at Orara High School and a long-term representative touch football player, has been able to combine two of her passions, in bringing the sport of touch footy to 21 young women from Orara High School.

As her first year working with Orara High’s Balmuun Jindas Indigenous Girls Academy comes to a close, Heather reflects on the success of the program and the role that exercise and sport can play in

the lives of adolescents, particularly those that are at risk of early drop out.

‘Balmuun Jindas’ means ‘Strong Sisters’ and just like its name, the academy aims to assist its young women to become empowered and successful in all facets of their lives.

“We work with the girls to strengthen their connection to Indigenous culture, and the wider community,” Heather said.

The program is also committed to providing pathways to further study and employment

match turned into a defensive stalemate.

But it would be the Snappers who would assert their authority when it mattered most, as they started to turn the tide winning the territory battle as they did in the first half.

The Snappers would control the game down the stretch, scoring two late tries to seal a 31-10 victory.

It was a victory which delighted Snappers president Matt Quirk after a number of the club’s juniors stepped up to senior rugby.

“It was brilliant and a great game considering we had 5 debutants that came through the junior ranks,” he said.

Quirk outlined to News Of The Area the factors which won the game for the Snappers.

and, as Heather explains, “An equally important part of what we do is the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, and this is where touch footy comes in.”

Heather spent much of her youth playing touch footy in the backyard with her dad and siblings and, as she got older, the sport gave her the opportunity “to travel and make friends and to stay in school.”

Heather has represented Coffs Harbour at all levels of competition, including playing in the National Touch League in March.

“I wanted to pass on what I have learnt over the years, so when the local summer comp started back after COVID, I tried to get as many Orara girls as I could

“Cameron Sweeney had a great game and our forwards laid the platform for the win,” he said.

“Our set pieces and line outs and scrums were the pleasing thing, and the set pieces helped us control the territory game.”

The Snappers now play the Port Macquarie Pirates at home on Saturday afternoon, while the Marlins travel to take on the Bowraville Goannas.

Heather was able to recruit enough players for two teams.

Tyler Calder, racing in the 13 boys 20-inch division, made the semifinals, and it will not be long the way he is improving

Heather states with pride that it was, “A ‘deadly’ experience for everyone that was involved.

“On Grand Final night we had parents, grandparents and friends all cheering the girls on in their final game.

“It was a massive achievement and something they can all be proud of.”

Year 9 student, Lilly Anne Dootson, said, “Playing in the Coffs Harbour comp taught me how to play touch footy.

“I really enjoyed doing something different and this was the first grand final I have won and taken part in, and I’d love to do it again in the future.”

The crossover of sporting skills into other areas of life is not lost on Heather, who said, “These young women have built connections with each other, they’ve tried something completely new and challenging and they’ve worked hard at it until they’ve had success and of course they’ve had a heap of fun in the process.”

No doubt, this is what being Strong Sisters, or Balmuun Jindas, is all about!

Coffs Harbour Running Festival set for September

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour’s biggest annual running event is celebrating a milestone this year.

The Bendigo Bank Coffs Harbour Running Festival celebrates its 10th event when it takes place on Sunday, 12 September.

The event has raised well over $200,000 throughout the years which has gone to various local children’s charities who also attend the

event as volunteers.

Entries for this year’s event open on 12 May, and if previous events are any indication to go by this year’s Running Festival should be a sell out so runners are encouraged to not leave it to the last minute to enter.

Bendigo Bank has been the naming rights sponsor since the event started in 2011.

The Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour has also been a major part of the event and

are now the organisers of the event.

The majority of the sponsors have also been on board since the first event.

Without the generous support from the 140 volunteers and organisations, it would not be possible to organise such an event.

Golf’s future star HE’S only seven years-old, consistently hits his driver 180 metres and is the number one player in the country for his age group.

Cooper Holman has fallen in love with golf and his results over the past month show that he’s about to be involved in a long-term relationship with the game.

Under the tutelage of Brandon Connor at the Coffs Harbour Golf Club, Cooper first started with a third-place finish in the Australian Junior Age Division Championships played at Royal Pines on the

Gold Coast.

Cooper and his supportive father Justin then travelled to the Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley which is north of Cessnock to play in the US Kids Golf Australian Masters played over two rounds.

The Woolgoolga Public student, who practices four times a week and plays on both days each weekend, played sensationally and won his age group by an incredible eight strokes.

In both events Cooper admitted to being a touch wary.

“Both times I was nervous on the first day but on the other days I wasn’t,” he said.

It was a journey that started in 2019 during one of the clinics Brandon Connor runs with his Saturday morning Kids Club.

And he’s really dreaming about the rich rewards success in major tournaments could bring him.

“We’ve always been community focused, and one of the things we do is put back into the community though events such as the Running Festival,” he said.

Local runner Mick Maley has been involved with the Running Festival since its inception.

He told News Of The Area he first became involved due to the fundraising aspect.

“That’s why I get behind it because it’s a way of raising money for the community,” he said.

“All the profits go to local kids, and it's all volunteers each year.”

The avid runner highlighted the beauty of the event’s course, which took in the natural beauty of the Botanical Gardens and Coffs Creek.

“It’s a lovely course, and Steve Moneghetti who has competed in the event before has stated that it’s one of the nicest courses in the world,” he said.

“It’s got everything such as beautiful scenery, and you run around the track and you want to be there.”

Lamborghini, a Ferrari, a private jet and my own island,” Cooper said.

Unfortunately for the youngster who recently shot an 88 for 18 holes at Coffs Harbour playing off the white tees, there's one reward he won’t be able to cash in on.

But the pandemic isn’t slowing him down too much.

A sacrificial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efficiently working system and a costly replacement.

Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion. After its 5th birthday – warranty expires.

Goals Galore Friday, 7 May 2021

By David WIGLEY

SAWTELL shared an eight goal thriller with Coffs United last Sunday at Toormina Oval to share the points in the Coastal Premier League with a 4-4 draw.

Sawtell stunned the reigning CPL champions with three goals in twenty minutes and led 4-2 in the second half before the resilient Lions clawed back into the game to salvage a draw.

Sawtell coach Joe Skyrtic

Local Community News ~ Proudly Independent

was pleased how the team bounced back from last week’s loss.

“I’m very proud of my players, they put in a fantastic effort, we reacted from last week's game and showed great quality and some great combinations in the final third to score three early goals in the first 20 minutes of the game.

“The intensity was high and we stuck to our game plan which caused them problems.

Eight goal thriller as Sawtell and Coffs United share the points at Toormina Oval q Seventeen year old Mabior Garang scored four goals to rescue a point for the Lions.
