By David WIGLEY

Car attack! q Jets danger man Valentino Yuel has scored 4 goals in the A-League since his last performance at C.ex Stadium.

A-LEAGUE action returns to Coffs Harbour as the Newcastle Jets take on Perth Glory at C.ex Stadium on Tuesday 13 April with a 7:05pm kick off.

The Jets continue to grow their fanbase on the North Coast following their trial match against the Brisbane Roar last December which finished in a 1-1 draw where fan favourite Valentino Yuel dazzled the crowd with his electric pace and double stepovers and has since scored four goals in the A-League this season.

Newcastle Jets will take on Perth Glory at C.ex Stadium on Tuesday night FROM Page 1

Thurgate grew up playing football on the North Coast, where he played NPL in the Northern NSW competition.

The 21 year old from Port Macquarie has become a key figure in the Jets midfield, known for his attacking runs into the penalty box.

Jets defender Nikolai ToporStanley will be hoping for a repeat performance of his last visit to C.ex Stadium where he nodded home a header from a free kick to level the game against the Roar.

Perth Glory have plenty of firepower in the form of Bruno Fornaroli who has become one of the most prolific strikers in the A-League in recent years.

The Uruguayan played centre forward for Sampdoria in Italy and won the golden boot in his debut year in the A-League, scoring 23 goals.

The sharp shooter is currently ranked in third place for the golden boot scoring 8 goals from 13 games.

Monies raised at the match will go to flood relief victims on the North Coast.

“The Club has a focus on connecting with the community and the North Coast region, having played a trial match last year in Coffs Harbour, we know there’s strong support for the game,” said Newcastle Jets Executive Chairman, Shane Mattiske.

“We’re excited to bring a fully-fledged competition game

It’s music to the ears of families on the North Coast where two children under 16 gain free entry with the purchase of one adult general admission ticket.

General Manager for North Coast Football, Andrew Woodward summarised some of the benefits associated with hosting an A-League match.

“It’s an opportunity for our current players to be inspired and for nonplayers to see what the world game is all about.

“Over $4 million in football talent will be on the pitch at Coffs Stadium, that’s not something we see every day, we want as many people as possible to see it.

“Football already is the biggest sport on the north coast and continuing to grow, bringing events like the Jets v Glory match will help accelerate that growth.

“Player registrations across Northern NSW are up, meaning we will

have our biggest year yet in terms of player and team numbers.

“The year will end on a high with the opening of three new football pitches and associated facilities at Coffs Sport and Leisure Park, including two all-weather, year-round football pitches, thanks to $12.5 million in funding from state and local government.

“We’re also excited that the North Coast Football National Premier League Youth Under 15’s and 16’s will play each other in the curtain-raiser to the match, this match will be a great experience and exposure for the girls and boys,” said Woodward. q Jets defender Nikolai Topor-Stanley scored the equaliser last time in Coffs Harbour.

“We’re excited to partner with the Jets to bring the first A-League match to the upgraded C.ex Coffs International Stadium, which was redeveloped specifically to cater for elite sporting events such as this.

“It’s a great opportunity for fans to come and stay on the Coffs Coast and enjoy a homegame holiday,” said Knight.

A MAN remains in hospital after being rammed by a car in Coffs Harbour this week.

Police have been told that at about 10.45pm on Monday 5 April 2021, two men – aged 27 and 29 – were involved in an altercation at a home on Bailey Avenue, Coffs Harbour, before the older man entered a vehicle nearby.

It’s alleged the 29-year-old drove towards the younger man and pinned him against a brick wall before fleeing the scene a short time later.

The younger man received injuries to his legs and was taken to Coffs Harbour Health Campus for surgery; he is reportedly in a stable condition.

Officers from Coffs/Clarence Police District attended and established a crime scene.

Following inquiries, a 29-year-old man was arrested about 9.25am on Tuesday 6 April 2021 on Walter Morris Close, Coffs Harbour.

He was taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station where he was charged with destroy or damage property, reckless wounding, drive recklessly/furiously or speed/manner dangerous, negligent driving (no death or grievous bodily harm), and possess or use a prohibited weapon without permit.

The man was refused bail to appear at Coffs Harbour Local Court on Wednesday 7 April 2021.

As the investigation continues, police are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who may have information which could assist police to contact Coffs Harbour Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Government Protects Emerald Beach Coastal Land q (L to R) local residents Mark Ingleby and Steve Tucker, Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh and Simon Hemer from NPWS at Emerald Beach on Tuesday.

By Andrew VIVIAN THE NSW Government has purchased more than 40 hectares of pristine coastal land on the Coffs Coast to protect the habitat of some of Australia’s most threatened species.

The Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the Government had spent $2.2 million buying two properties at Emerald Beach.

These properties were bought under the Coastal Lands Protection Scheme, which is used to acquire coastal land for public access, scenic value or environmental protection.

Mr Singh said, “Buying this land is an important step in conserving our native flora and fauna in the local area.

“The community raised their concerns about allowing development on this land, and I’m glad it has now been preserved in perpetuity on behalf of the taxpayer,” he said.

The NSW Government has also released the NSW Coastal

Lands Protection Scheme Guidelines, which includes a nomination form, to make it easier to protect and preserve coastal land.

Rob Stokes, the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, said that the scheme, with an annual budget of $3 million, allows identification,

acquisition and protection of pristine coastal land for “generations to come”.

He said that, since the scheme began in 1973, the Government has spent more than $60 million acquiring over 15,000 hectares of coastal land.

“The scheme guidelines

are designed to encourage councils and the community to identify valuable public coastal assets for potential purchase and protection.”

Jonathan Cassell, a local Emerald resident and United Residents Group of Emerald (URGE) spokesperson said, "This news is a result of the

WITH no GP in Ulong for more than 20 years, it’s been an hour’s drive down the mountain and an hour’s drive home for something as simple as a script or a Doctor’s consultation.

Up until two years ago, even something as basic as a blood pressure check meant a half day venture and that is if you have transport!

During the past two years the dedicated TAFE NSW student nurses have been making the journey up the mountain on the first Tuesday of the month, to provide blood pressure and health checks for the residents of the Eastern Dorrigo area, including the villages of

Lowanna and Ulong.

This has provided a unique opportunity for nursing students to be exposed to the real life challenges of providing healthcare services in regional communities .

In early 2017, Chair of the CHCC 355 volunteer Committee for the Ulong Hall, Carol Cleary, reached out to the then North Coast Primary Health Network (now Healthy Northcoast) to assist in trying to get some health support for the residents of the Eastern Dorrigo area.

Under their ‘Community Voices’ program, NCPH donated $10,000 in 2018 to build a clinical space within the Ulong Hall to provide a

space where the nurses could consult with residents to assess their health needs.

During the past few years these small villages have experienced more than their fair share of tragedy through a number of suicides, heart attacks, vehicle accidents, droughts, fire, floods and Covid-19.

It became obvious to TAFE NSW Head Teacher Health, Nursing and Aged Care, Lisa Taffe, through treating and supporting the local residents, that further medical support was required.

Determined to get the best result for her community, Mrs Cleary once again took to

door knocking Government and Health departments in an attempt to get much needed support for her community.

In a continuation of their support, NCPH, now renamed Healthy Northcoast, with the support of Ingrid Sivertsen, canvassed the GP clinics within our area in search of GP support.

The hard work by all involved finally paid off when Dr Jay Ruthnam in conjunction with the Northside Health Clinic, reached out to assist this rural area.

Now through the combined support of nurses of NSW TAFE led by Lisa Taffe, in conjunction with Dr Jay Ruthnam backed by

the Northside Health Clinic, the residents of Lowanna and Ulong together with the outlying farming areas, will now have access to some kind of GP support on a fortnightly basis.

It is proposed that the Health Hub will operate as per usual on the first Tuesday of the month with the added support of a Telehealth service link to a GP at Northside Health Clinic.

To compliment this, Dr Ruthnam will visit the hub in person, once per month on a Thursday, (a fortnight later) to offer face to face consultations.

These may be booked through the Northside Health clinic on 66525322.

“Everyone involved should be very proud of themselves.

“It just goes to show what can happen when Government departments including our local Council, Health and Education agencies work together with private enterprises to listen and respond to the needs of a community.

“It is such a fabulous CAN DO result.”

acknowledge the inherent weaknesses in the current planning scheme that might have allowed this land to be developed, despite its uniqueness as a rare coastal heathland.

"Without the strength of current councillors like Sally Townley, this could have been developed regardless of the risks associated with coastal inundation.

"This wetland ecosystem deserved to be protected years ago and now we can all celebrate the wonderful fact it is now in public hands,” he said.

Mr Stokes said that the buyback would help protect native animals as well as provide public open space for the local community.

“More than one-third of this land includes trees that are used as habitat by koalas.

“The buyback will also support other endangered and threatened species including the glossy black cockatoo, the square-tailed kite and squirrel glider,” he continued.

“Ultimately, this purchase safeguards the land from future development.”

Mission Australia receives $2.1M to renovate and repair 71 social housing properties MISSION Australia has been granted $2.1 million by the NSW Government to upgrade 71 social housing properties to support people in need on the Mid North Coast.

This program of works will be rolled-out by June and the funding will improve the quality, safety, and comfort of homes with the replacement of roofs and guttering, bathroom and kitchen replacements as well as floor coverings and fencing replacements.

Charoah Evans, Mission Australia’s Regional Housing Manager for Mid North Coast said,

“This funding allocation forms part of the NSW Government’s announcement of 31 successful bids by Community Housing Providers (CHPs) to deliver $40 million in stimulus funding to upgrade social housing, create jobs and help build safer and

stronger communities throughout NSW.”

“The money will also allow some properties to be leased and used again after becoming run down and unusable. An investment in these properties is an investment in people and a positive move towards improving their circumstances and that of the general community as a result.”

The $40 million stimulus injection forms part of the NSW Government’s record budget investment of close to $900 million to fast-track construction of thousands of new homes, while creating jobs and boosting the State’s economic recovery from COVID-19.

The NSW Government announced a $200 million maintenance spend in last year’s budget. This complements the $47 million maintenance stimulus program delivered by LAHC last year, which supported 500 jobs and upgraded 2,200 social housing properties and another 200 buildings, grounds and complexes, in regional and metropolitan NSW.

Make a Cuppa for a Cause this May

IT’S that time of year again to register to get together with a few friends, family members or work colleagues and host an Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event to raise money for cancer.

For 28 years, the Cancer Council’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea has brought together millions of Australians over a cup of tea in support of those affected by cancer.

In 2021, the official day to host a morning tea is

Thursday 27 May, however participants can register now to host a morning tea any time throughout May or June.

Participants are encouraged to host Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea their way, whether it’s at home with friends or family, a simple morning tea in the office with workmates, virtually (COVID-19 style) or a gathering in the local community or at school.

Cancer Council’s Community Relations

Coordinator Brittany Raven said the Cancer Council was fortunate to receive support from the community through events like Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. “We have hosts across the country who have supported us for over 28 years, this generosity enables us to continue our work in cancer research, prevention programs, advocacy and support services,” Ms Raven said.

“Cancer affects people in so many ways and impacts every community in Australia, with over 138,000 Australians estimated to be diagnosed

AN important project to minimise the risk of harm to human and environmental health from sewage spills caused by stormwater accidentally or illegally entering the local sewer network has uncovered multiple issues.

During wet weather, infiltration by stormwater into sewers can potentially overload the system.

Locally, wet weather sewer flows are currently reaching up to twice the actual capacity of the system.

Between September and November 2020, a total of 978 properties were inspected to check their stormwater drainage as part of the Stormwater Inflow Reduction Project.

Of these, 17 were illegally or incorrectly connected to the sewerage system and 525 had defects that contributed to the problem of stormwater overflows.

“We’ve had some very recent examples only this month of the major problems that are caused by this issue

– including the sewage spill into Coffs Creek – and the massive overload of our water reclamation plants during the sustained rainfall we had for days that began on 18 March,” said Mick Raby, Council’s Director Sustainable Infrastructure.

“While 17 homes might not sound like a major problem, they were contributing more than half of the stormwater finding its way into that local sewer network during any rain event. When you multiply that

with cancer this year.

“It’s vitally important that those affected can access suitable support services, such as Cancer Council 13 11 20 Information and Support Line, accommodation, counselling and peer support programs.”

Cancer Council’s services help Australians affected by cancer, providing vital support when they need it most and making every stage of their cancer journey easier.

One Australian is diagnosed with cancer approximately every five minutes, the length of an average tea break.

This year, Cancer Council hopes to recruit over 20,000 generous morning tea hosts, and raise more than $7 million

across the local government area (LGA), you start to get a picture of the scale of the problem.”

If the initial findings to date are indicative of the LGA as a whole, then the Stormwater Project has the potential to: ● Free up more than 50% of sewer capacity during storm events; ● reduce the peak pumping and treatment volumes by the equivalent of half an Olympic sized swimming pool an hour;

Local ANZAC services to be held in Bellingen and Repton

q The townships of Bellingen and Repton will hold this year’s ANZAC Day services at their local war memorials.

Photo: Susan Maunder.

By Emma DARBIN BELLINGER River RSL subbranch has confirmed it will conduct this year’s ANZAC Day memorial services at Bellingen and Repton, following recent news that Coffs Harbour local government area RSL subbranches have decided not to hold their Dawn Services and ANZAC Day marches at their local town cenotaphs.

RSL Sub-branches at Urunga, Woolgoolga, Sawtell and Coffs Harbour last month approved the holding of a joint Coffs Coast Community ANZAC Day Commemorative Service at C.ex International Stadium, instead of at local town cenotaphs, in response to strict COVID-19 regulations in place for ANZAC Day events this year.

The COVID-compliant Remembrance Service will be a seated event restricted to an approved number, which is 3,000 at this stage.

Coffs Harbour City councillor Keith Rhoades spoke out against the change to this year’s ANZAC Day services, which are usually held at local town cenotaphs, and called on the State Government to allow regional towns to conduct their ANZAC Day ceremonies at their local cenotaphs and for the Government to be more flexible with the COVID-19 restrictions being placed on ANZAC Day services in regional NSW towns.

Bellinger River RSL Sub-branch president Rick Maunder confirmed that the branch’s Dawn Service and main ANZAC Day service will be conducted at Bellingen War Memorial, and a Dawn Service will also be held at Repton.

“Although Covid-19 has impacted our ceremonies in a number of ways we will still conduct them in our locality,” Mr Maunder said.

The Bellingen ANZAC Dawn Service will commence at 5:30am at Bellingen War Memorial on the corner of

Oak and Hyde Streets.

Due to the pandemic, the usual public breakfast following the Dawn Service will not be held.

The Repton ANZAC Dawn Service will commence

at 5:30am at the Repton Memorial, at the junction of Bailey Street and Mylestom Drive.

Bellingen’s ANZAC Day Main Service will commence at 9am at Bellingen War

Memorial.

Due to the pandemic, march participants will not be marching to and from the memorial.

There will be an opportunity for the public

to lay floral tributes during the service.

Attendees at the commemorative services will be requested to use the provided NSW Government QR code and maintain physical distancing.

Birders’ sensational sightings

By Andrea FERRARI

BIRDWATCHING is a burgeoning activity on the Mid North Coast with numerous enthusiasts and active clubs.

Coffs Coast Bird Observers (CCBO) is one such gregarious group with monthly local outings.

On March 26, twenty keen birders braved the sunshine and mud to seek out some 60 species in the Bonville, Bongil Bongil National Park and Mick's Retreat (Sawtell) areas.

Meeting at Cassidy's Road, close to Bonville Golf Course, the group took what proved to be a lovely walk but a little disappointing for birds.

“There may have been more birdies on the course than off,” quipped CCBO host, Ron Coleman.

“We did however see flocks of White-headed Pigeons and Top Knot Pigeons as well as a Laughing Kookaburra enjoying breakfast.

“Then to other parts of Bonville, where there were beautiful sightings of Scarlet Honeyeaters plus

www.newsofthearea.com.au an interesting sighting of a young Lewin’s Honeyeater.

“On to Bongil Bongil National Park where an Azure Kingfisher, a Grey Goshawk and a White-bellied Sea Eagle may well have been the birds of the day.

“Moving on to Mick’s Retreat we scoped Redcapped Plovers and Pacific Golden Plovers while two Ospreys flew almost directly overhead.

“Later a Whistling Kite, another White-bellied Sea Eagle and another Grey Goshawk.

“A good day for raptors.

“Discussion ensued over whether we had seen a Mistletoe Bird or a Scarlet Honeyeater - settled in favour of the honeyeater.”

Lunch rounded off what the group described as a very pleasant morning.

q Coffs Coast Bird Observers members keep their eye on the sky.

The Coffs Coast Bird Observers is an informal group of birdwatchers from novice to experienced, who enjoy comparing bird-sightings together and travelling to different locations around the Coffs region.

As well as the friendly monthly outings, they organise a weekend or longer campout to a further afield destination annually.

Destinations are accessible by normal passenger vehicles.

Occasionally they organise an outing with another group.

Their aim is to share local knowledge with anyone interested in birds and their habitats and new attenders and visitors are welcome.

The contact email address is whipbird08@gmail.com.

“The northern NSW region has been a go-to for the Matildas in recent years, staging highly successful fixtures against Brazil and Chile," Eland said.

Already, NNSWF is working with Football Australia and the NSW government to stimulate significant investment in community football facilities to ensure that the game has the capacity to cater for the surge in female participation in the sport.

The NSW government recently announced they have committed $50m to specifically improve sports amenities for females in regional NSW – which is a great start.

“We’re already seeing an increase in female participation across the sport with interim numbers for 2021 registrations showing 26 percent of current registrations being female compared to 23 per cent in 2019 (YoY comparison) – and there’s still time for young girls

COFFS Harbour has been confirmed as a team base camp for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. 32 teams from six confederations will descend to Australia and New Zealand from 10 July 2023 to 20 August 2023 for football’s biggest prize which kicks off in Auckland and ends in Sydney with Stadium Australia hosting the World Cup Final.

The four other Northern NSW Regional team base camps are Port Macquarie, Maitland, Cessnock and Speers Point.

Horse section bigger than ever THE horse section of the Coffs Harbour Show Society is in full swing preparing for a large show after many country shows have had to cancel due to fires, Covid-19 restrictions and floods.

Horse owners desperately want to get out and compete, so this year the Show’s horse section is adding more classes than ever.

Entertainment will include a musical quadrant on Saturday afternoon presented by the Coffs Harbour Pony Club in honour of Frances Blake.

Frances has been actively involved with the Coffs Harbour Show Society Ladies Auxiliary in the positions of President, Treasurer and Member from 1980.

She re-established the Auxiliary in 2008.

She was also President of Inner Wheel Club of South Coffs Harbour, and was an instructor at the Coffs Harbour Pony Club from 1965-83.

Frances was named Coffs Harbour Citizen of the Year in 2012, so the Show Society welcomes the Coffs Harbour Pony Club to deliver an exciting Quadrant in her honour.

The horse section will also include an Off The Track NSW Inc Showcase for thoroughbreds that have retired from racing.

This will be a qualifier for the Finals to be held at Nana Glen on 15 and 16 May. The winner and runner up of each section automatically qualify for entry straight into the finals of which has over 10k of cash and prizes.

The classes to be held at Coffs Harbour Show will include Fashions Of The Field, Led classes, Ridden classes, a rider class and also show

jumping.

These horses are incredibly intelligent and versatile.

and boys to register for the season," Eland said.

“This emphasises the ongoing support local clubs will need in obtaining funding to ensure that talented female players, regardless of where they live, can access the expertise and competitive opportunities required to reach their potential."

Eland said just because Newcastle was not a host city, it did not mean northern NSW residents would miss out on matches.

“Fortunately, Sydney is easily accessible from the Hunter Region and travelling north to Brisbane from the North Coast and Far North Coast is also accessible," Eland said.

“Like with other large international tournaments, we’ll investigate how we can facilitate opportunities for the football community throughout northern NSW to attend fixtures in Sydney and Brisbane.

“The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is a once in a lifetime opportunity to partner the government to deliver an enduring legacy for our game and our communities, bring on 2023,” said Eland.

Locals such as Kennards Hire, Katherine James Property 4 Sale, Horseland Coffs Harbour, Pacific Vet Care, Lismore Turf club just to name a few, are very proud to support and sponsor this exciting initiative that offers events for thoroughbreds post racing.

The grounds will also be holding 6 Bar under lights scheduled to start at 6pm on Saturday evening.

Interested people of Coffs Harbour and surrounds that may like to volunteer some of their time in the horse ring to help us pull together such a large event, may contact coffsshow@gmail.com.

“Time and time again when called upon, our members have stepped up to help.

“As communities up and down the coast were inundated by flood waters, our firefighters were there to help, both on the ground and in the air.

“I am humbled by their want to serve locally and the broader NSW community.

“To see hundreds of our firefighters travelling across the state to help communities in need is testament to their dedication and commitment.

Commission Rogers said that despite the low instances of bush and grass fires across the season high grass fuel loads remained west of the divide.

“Over the coming weeks

and months crews will begin hazard reduction burning when weather opportunities are more favourable to reduce these fuel loads.

“It is vital for people living near Bush Fire Prone Land to not become complacent and to ensure they take the time now to clear, prepare and maintain their properties.”

“There has been just 11 days of total fire bans compared to 60 days last season, marking the quietest bush fire season since 2010/11.

Commissioner Rogers said that despite the low level of

burns are usually required to have a Hazard Reduction Certificate before lighting up.

Hazard Reduction Certificates are free and can be obtained from NSW RFS Fire Control Centres.

“While firefighting agencies will be looking to conduct as many hazard reduction activities as possible, I encourage landholders to do the same.” said Commissioner Rogers.

Coffs Gardening Aficionado Maria Bell At The National Honey Show

By Andrea FERRARI

MARIA Bell, Coffs Harbour Garden Club (CHGC) Treasurer, and honoured recipient of the Club’s Ann Williams Clark recognition award (2017), is deeply experienced in all things in the gardening world.

Ann travels to gardeningrelated events, stewarding and volunteering, both in the Coffs region and further afield.

At this year’s Sydney Royal Easter Show Maria stewarded at The National Honey Show, a category she added to her stewarding repertoire eleven years ago.

Speaking to News Of The Area from the Show, Maria said, “This year there were more than 400 individual entries in beeswax, candles, decorative candles, wax moulds, pollen, liquid honey, native liquid honey, creamed and natural granulation honey, comb honey, chunk honey and mead.

“My role for The National Honey Show is that of a worker bee - by assisting the judges during judging and then postjudging, the honey stewarding team really get into their stride by staging the exhibits in cabinets so they are shown to their best advantage.”

Maria has been

“The District Exhibits are not just about the effective display and general presentation of the displays but also include 82 individual competitions within dairy produce, wines, preserved fruits, jams, jellies, preserved vegetables, pickles and sauces, cucurbits, grain, stock fodders, commercial fibres and tropical products, pasture grasses, legumes and other herbage

species, and lastly wool.”

Bringing all this experience home to the Coffs region, in May Maria will start the preparation for the CHGC Spring Garden Competition.

Held in September for the 32nd consecutive year it is a big deal for the club.

“We feel it is so very important to promote interest in gardening and pride in beautifying our community.”

Breakdown data

RECENTLY released NRMA data has revealed that NRMA patrols attended almost 48,000 breakdowns across the North Coast of NSW in 2020, while battery problems continue to dominate breakdowns across NSW. Of the almost 850,000 breakdowns attended by NRMA patrols over the last 12 months almost half (46%) were related to battery failure, according to new data released by the NRMA. Analysis of 848,650 breakdowns from March 2020 to February 2021 found that batteries dominated the reasons for calling an NRMA patrol on the side of the road.

Other major breakdown causes in a year of roadside service heavily affected by the COVID pandemic included: - Batteries (46%), Wheels and tyres (14%), Electrical (8%), Cooling system (4%) and Fuel injection (3%).

Of the North Coast of NSW, the Mid-North Coast and Tweed had the highest number of breakdowns, while Byron and Port Macquarie still reported high numbers as the first wave of domestic tourists got back on the road.

The Byron region recorded 10962 breakdowns

in 2020, the Mid-Coast recorded 13189 breakdowns, Port Macquarie-Hastings recorded 10479 and the Tweed recorded 13071.

NRMA Patrol Team Leader Kosta Karavanas said the importance of roadside assistance was again highlighted during the recent flooding in NSW, where demand for NRMA’s service on the side of the road rose by 40 per cent during the worst of the flooding.

“Families want peaceof-mind when they’re on the road that when an unwanted breakdown occurs they can rely on NRMA patrols for help and we saw that extensively over the last year, especially during extreme weather conditions,” Mr Karavanas said.

“We see massive spikes in demand when it’s very hot, cold or wet and getting to people quickly and getting them back on the road is critical to their safety and to help ease congestion on our roads.

“The NRMA is in its 101st year of operation and we are more committed than ever to helping our Members.

“Nowhere is that more prevalent than when we were called out to rescue almost 1,900 children and pets – these calls go to the top of our list, regardless of whether you are a Member.”

Adult store proposed for Coffs CBD people.

A LA BOUDOIR Adult Store is proposed for the Coffs Harbour CBD area.

A development application has recently been lodged with Coffs Harbour City Council for a Change of Use (Restricted Premises and Shop Fit Out) at 2 Park Avenue, Coffs Harbour for the proposed adult store.

The currently vacant premises is proposed to be turned into a ‘restricted

premises’ for the sale of adult toys, gimmicks and to promote hygiene for the community, and will employ three staff as well as the employment of local trade workers during the site’s transformation.

The site will undergo a basic shop fit out, including restricting shop front visibility from the footpath by covering up shop windows to stop unwanted attention from underaged

The adult store is proposed to operate from 10am to 7pm Monday to Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and from 10am to 8pm on Thursday.

The development application can be viewed and public submissions can be made on Council’s website at www. coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au until 12 April.

North Wall Car Park Upgrade Works Temporary Traffic Management and Car Park Closure Site works are expected to start on Monday April 19, 2021 (weather permitting) for the upgrade of the North Wall Car Park, Coffs Harbour.

Temporary Traffic Management Controls will be in place during the initial site establishment and during later stages of the works. North Wall Car Park will be closed for the duration of the works.

Traffic management will include the temporary closure of the right-turn entry lane from Orlando Street and the temporary closure of one eastbound lane of Marina Drive.

North Wall Car Park Upgrade works will be undertaken during the week: Mondays through Fridays inclusive. The project is expected to take about three months to complete, weather permitting.

The North Wall public car park is being relocated, reconfigured and upgraded to provide more car parks and improve accessibility, in a $1.33 million project financed by Council and the Australian Government Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications, through a $600,000 Local Roads Community Infrastructure Program Grant.

Redesign and relocation of the car park slightly west of the foreshore will enable public parking to be increased from 20 spaces to a total of 63 spaces, including accessible parking. Works will also improve drainage at the site.

Landscaping, picnic facilities, seating, new shower, new shared pathways and other improvements will provide an enhanced recreational area with clear sightlines to the beach and the Solitary Islands.

Nambucca Author Annie Seaton presents her latest book

By Andrea FERRARI

ANNIE Seaton, one of Nambucca’s favourite authors has introduced her new book, Hidden Valley, to guests at Nambucca Valley Council Libraries.

Giving insights into her inspirations, she talked about the creative processes of writing.

Specialising in the genre of eco adventure, crime, suspense and action with romantic elements, Annie’s novels are based on historical facts and inspired by a place.

Annie said, “The setting is always the first step.

“Then an issue that threatens the setting.

“Next I create my characters which drives the adventure and resolution of their issues.

“I love researching and exploring the different settings.”

Hidden Valley, the fourth in the Porter Sisters series, is set on a remote cattle station west of Kakadu National Park and is a thrilling ride of mystery and hidden family secrets weaving an adventurous journey to eventually finding love in the harsh Australian outback.

Hitting number two in

Apple Australia’s Best Selling Books for the week of launch, Annie is justly excited at the public’s response.

“This is a journey I never dreamed of when I retired as Principal of a local school ten years ago, to become a bestselling author.

“I had always wanted to write a book from the age of four when I first discovered libraries, but life, marriage, kids and career ‘got in the way’.

“Now I have the opportunity and I love it,” said Annie, who has written 48 books.

Friends and neighbours in Nambucca have been reminding Annie that she had promised to write a story set in their shared home town.

“They kept on saying ‘when?’

“So, I now have the setting: Wellington Rock.

“That’s where the shipwrecks occurred in the 19th century.

“I think I might have unwanted development as the issue…I’m thinking about it,” Annie said.

We’ll have to wait and see.

Annie self publishes most of her books while maintaining working relationships with Harper Collins.

She recently bought back the rights to her early books and is releasing audio versions, working with Audible, an audiobooks specialist.

you were a boy, Grandad?’

Then the Seniors' Stories Volume 7 writing competition is for you.

Entry is now open and the theme for this year is 'What's age got to do with it?'

With decades of experience, seniors’ life journeys offer rich

adventures.

The simplest of activities with a senior’s perspective or life-changing events as told by an elder are all fascinating to share with younger people in their community.

The best 100 entries will be published in a commemorative book which

will be launched at NSW Parliament House (subject to COVID restrictions), with each story’s author invited to attend.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh encourages locals to submit their creative works to the Seniors’ Stories Writing Competition.

“We want to hear stories that remind us age is just a number, and I know seniors in our region have exceptional tales to tell,” Mr Singh said.

“This is a great opportunity

Bill to reduce plastics waste A BILL to phase out single-use plastics, polystyrene packaging, products containing plastic microbeads and other plastic products harmful to the environment is the subject of a new parliamentary inquiry – and the community is being encouraged to have their say.

Chair of the NSW Upper House's planning and environment committee,

Ms Cate Faehrmann MLC, introduced the bill to Parliament in February 2021 on behalf of The Greens.

Ms Faehrmann said, "The Legislative Council referred the bill to this cross-party committee so that it can seek the views of community members, stakeholder groups and experts about the bill's provisions. We will examine the arguments for and against

the bill and report back to Parliament on what we see as the best way forward."

"The bill aims to reduce plastic waste, for example single-use plastic bags, microbeads in personal care products and detergents, single-use plastic cutlery, plastic drinking straws, disposable plastic cups, polystyrene food containers and other packaging.

By Andrea FERRARI

“But these days producers big and small are celebrating the non-drinkers by giving them premium and crafted beverage choices they actually feel excited and happy to drink,” added Brydie.

Lauren Hammond, Customer Experience Manager at Dan Murphy’s Coffs Harbour calls these drinks ‘pretend wines and spirits’.

“They look and taste just like the real thing.

“The difference today is the high quality of these beverages.”

In the last twelve months, sales of non-alcoholic drinks increased over 100 percent across BWS and Dan Murphy’s, peaking for Dry July.

Tim Carroll, General Manager of Buying & Merchandising of Endeavour Group said, “The rise of nonalcoholic drinks is a reflection of a broader trend where consumers are choosing to moderate.

“We’ve never had such a wide range of non-alcoholic and lower alcohol drinks in our stores.

“You can find anything from craft beer, rosé and bubbles to craft gin and

bourbon without any alcohol in it - and the quality is so good, you won't be able to tell the difference.

“We are seeing great innovation from Australian producers in particular, people are so surprised at what’s available in the alcohol-free section”, says Dan Murphy’s Inge Van Dyk. Hamish Barr, manager at Sawtell Hotel’s Bottler Bottle-O is now stocking alcohol free wine from McGuigan Wine’s Zero range.

Hamish told The News Of The Area, “We’ve had such a great customer response to our non-alcoholic beers - two out of our 15 available are alcohol free - it’s made me think about increasing our offer.

“The Zero wines come in from McGuigan’s tomorrow and we’ll be introducing our customers to Shiraz and Sauvignon blanc to start with.”

www.newsofthearea.com.au “To achieve this, the bill sets out targets for plastic reduction, with a plan to eliminate plastics pollution by 2025. It seeks to establish a Plastics Reduction Commission that would report on the management of plastic waste, along with mechanisms to reduce plastics pollution.

The Commission would also liaise with industry and government to develop strategies to achieve each of

the targets, and would report on compliance,” she said.

"There is a growing consciousness across the community, government and industry of the extent of plastic waste and its harmful impacts on the environment and human health. This inquiry provides an opportunity for the full range of stakeholders to express their views and have them heard by Parliament," said Ms Faehrmann.

The committee invites

all interested stakeholders to have their say on issues relating to the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Amendment (Plastics Reduction) Bill 2021, via written submissions.

Submissions are due by 3 May and can be lodged via the inquiry website at h t t p : / / w w w. p a r l i a m e n t . nsw.gov.au/commit tees/ inquiries/Pages/inquirydetails.aspx?pk=2709#tabsubmissions.

Bottle shops meet mindful drinking trend

MINDFUL drinking and the development of high quality zero-alcohol beverages is seeing bottle shops stocking wider ranges of no- and lowalcohol wines, beers and spirits.

“The no-alcohol beverage category is gaining popularity as Australians’ alcohol consumption continues to slowly decline.

“Despite what we heard during the pandemic, in 2020 consumption actually hit a 50-year low,” said Brydie Allen, Editor, National Liquor News.

“At the forefront of this trend is the ever-increasing amount of people practicing mindful consumption and looking for options that are ‘better for you’, including those that help them moderate their alcohol intake.

“These people still want quality adult beverages that help create their favourite drinks experiences, just without the alcohol content.

“Soft drink, juice or water used to be the only options for those who were driving, pregnant, allergic or just not feeling like drinking.

Aboriginal Fishing Trust Grants now open

LOCAL residents, businesses and community groups can now apply for grants, through the Aboriginal Fishing Trust Fund, which are offered to help maintain and protect Aboriginal cultural fishing.

The Fund is offering $500,000 in grants and loans to support community projects on the Coffs Coast

and across the State.

“This is a great opportunity to enhance indigenous cultural fishing initiatives in our region,” said Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh.

“I would love to see local Aboriginal fishing groups apply for grants from the $500,000 in funding that

22 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

will help support cultural connection.”

For information on eligibility, funding categories, the assessment process and how to apply, visit the NSW Department of Primary Industries website www.dpi. nsw.gov.au/AFTF. Mr Singh said in previous years, the fund

had been used to support businesses, enhance fishing infrastructure, launch education programs and more.

“This is the fourth consecutive year the Fund has been offered, and every time we see a fantastic array of ideas and applications come forward,” Mr Singh

media@newsofthearea.com.au

said.

“Through this popular program we’ve seen the restoration of an old family oyster business, workshops on how to make traditional fishing equipment for use during cultural events, the running of a carp muster, and more.

“If you’re a keen fisho or

part of a local club and you need ideas, you can visit the NSW DPI website.”

The Trust has been designed to provide funds for both small projects up to $5,000 and larger projects through grants and loans.

Applications are open until 19 May 2021.

$100 accommodation vouchers to attract locals to Sydney’s CBD

UP to 200,000 accommodation vouchers worth $100 each will be available to NSW residents as part of a new $51.5 million economic package designed to encourage people back into Sydney’s CBD, re-ignite live music across the State, and support jobs in the accommodation, entertainment and tourism sectors.

The NSW Government’s latest COVID-19 response package will also include $24 million for eligible live music venues, a support package to help the business events industry in Sydney and regional NSW, and a funding boost for tourism marketing.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the new package recognised the Sydney CBD and workers in accommodation, live entertainment and tourism industries had been especially hard hit by COVID-19.

“With international, interstate and business travellers virtually nonexistent for the past year, the CBD, and in particular the accommodation industry, has done it tough,” Ms Berejiklian said.

“This new program will be in addition to our other stimulus measures such as the Dine & Discover scheme, and will provide a boost to accommodation providers in

what is a traditionally very quiet period.”

NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the new funding would boost both the Sydney CBD economy and assist the accommodation, entertainment and tourism industries.

“Thousands of businesses in the Sydney CBD lost significant revenue with so many people working from home, when you add in almost no overseas or interstate travel, it’s been a

tough 12 months for them,” Mr Perrottet said.

“This scheme will encourage people to explore more of what the Sydney CBD has to offer, and spend a little bit more on the way through, and support local jobs.”

NSW Tourism Minister Stuart Ayres said supporting the live music and business events industry was vital as NSW continued its economic recovery.

“Everyone has missed live music, the industry is coming

out of hibernation, and this package will ensure our much loved venues are there to host the gigs people want to see as they celebrate NSW emerging from the pandemic,” Mr Ayres said.

“There will also be support for business events and more money to market local tourism attractions as part of the Love NSW platform.

“Our success in containing COVID-19 means we can now focus on assisting these

vital industries get back to business.”

The key components of the program are $20 million for up to 200,000 $100 CBD accommodation vouchers, $24 million to Destination NSW for a Live Music Support Package to be administered in partnership with Create NSW and the Office of the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner, $5.5 million for a Business Events Industry Support package to assist businesses in Greater Sydney and across NSW,

and $2 million for a Tourism Industry Marketing Support package through the Love NSW campaign.

The $100 accommodation vouchers will be allocated on a first in first served basis, and are expected to commence in June during the quieter winter period.

Accommodation providers will need to register for the program and operate within the City of Sydney to participate.

More details on how people can apply for the accommodation vouchers and their release date will be announced in coming weeks.

More than 300 drivers charged with drink-driving over Easter POLICE have charged 310 people with drink driving on NSW roads during a high-visibility operation over the Easter long weekend.

Easter Operation 2021 began at 12.01am on Thursday 1 April 2021 and ended at 11:59m on Monday 5 April 2021.

Double-demerit points were in force throughout the period for speeding, seatbelt, mobile phone and motorcycle helmet offences.

Officers were also targeting other high-risk driver behaviour,

including the Four Ds: drink, drug, dangerous and distracted driving.

Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander, Assistant Commissioner Karen Webb, said that despite the warning officers charged 310 people across the state with drink driving.

“It’s disappointing that there are still people in the community who aren’t getting the message and are putting themselves and others at risk with reckless behaviour,” Assistant Commissioner Webb said.

CHRIS BARROW

“Our message to road users is that police can be anywhere, anytime throughout the year; and we’ll be targeting high-risk behaviour, including drink, drug, dangerous and distracted driving.”

Five people died in crashes on NSW roads during the Easter Operation, two more than last year.

Back full steam ahead at JRDS

AFTER nearly four months shut down in 2020 and no eisteddfod or community performances, spirits were pretty low in the dance school, and students who could normally express themselves creatively and physically were unable to unleash their passion

through their favourite activity of dance.

We are overjoyed to be training again and rehearsing for our first eisteddfod of the year in Grafton over Easter.

The teachers and students are putting in 100% effort and it is so wonderful to see all the enthusiasm and

smiling faces around the studio.

There is of course social distancing but our students and families have come on board positively with the implementing of new rules and strategies to help the studio run in a harmonious way through Covid.

We offer classes for tiny tots, adults, kids, teens and seniors and we can cater for the elite dancer training for professional dance and performances or the student or enthusiast who wants to dance for recreation and fun.

Dance is an ideal way to get fit but more than that it stimulates the brain also using different areas of function, than when doing something academically, or doing a single exercise movement that is not derived from the imagination.

This is why some

SO much more in one place.

We will have our regular one on one tuition of course but we are adding so many more activities for students and adults.

A boon for working

parents, as the Mastering Maths, Entertaining English, Language, STEM, Cooking, Art and Drama classes will be affordable for years 5-6 & 7-8 students to spend the afternoon engaged in supervised activities.

These classes will be booked by the term.

Soon, in the evening there will be life classes where adult students may learn how to tame the budget, learn about loans and mortgages or even shares.

Other classes may be available like car and bike maintenance theory, with a practical class (TBA) to help

you get a real feel for your car.

Added to this we will have computer and smartphone classes.

All these evening classes will be either one off classes or short term.

Just check the program, which should be out each term.

After nearly four months shut down in 2020 and no eisteddfod or community performances, spirits were pretty low in the dance school, and students who could normally express themselves creatively and physically were unable to unleash their passion through their favourite activity of dance.

students who do not do well at school will excel in dance.

Emotional and creative intelligence is highly regarded in the arts and dance world.

At Julie Ross Dance Studio, our teachers are experienced and amazing role models who nurture their students, creating an environment where students can thrive by being truly seen and catered for.

The artistry and love of dance is apparent at the studio so whether you’re a complete beginner or have got some experience we would love to chat with you

to help you decide on a class for yourself or a child or person you are responsible for.

The studio is accredited for $100 active and creative vouchers which parents receive from Services NSW for all school age children to encourage kids into activity and the arts.

For more information ring Gabby on 0411986579 or Julie on 0402137171 or email jrdsnews@ julierossdance.com.au.

Visit the website at www.julierossdance.com. au.

Students registered with the NDIS will love our new Centre with a lift right at the front door and plenty of room to manoeuvre and partake in life skills, art or literacy and numeracy classes.

We will still be in Moonee Street for a few weeks until our new premises in Harbour

Drive are ready to go.

It will definitely be followed by a fanfare ready to start us off in our new place!!

Seniors Week

Joe* purchased a DIY will kit in 2008 and gifted specific assets to each of his children and grandchildren.

Joe thought he had given away all of his assets, but he forgot about a small number of shares he owned at the time. By the time he died in 2018 those shares had risen in value and were worth almost $500,000.

However, because Joe did not include a residual clause in his will (that is, a clause giving away everything else he owned, that he hadn't specifically mentioned), it was not known who Joe had intended to receive the shares and conflicts arose between family as to who should inherit this asset.

Most people know that making a will is the most important aspect of estate planning.

Still, some people choose do-it-yourself (DIY) will kits

or online software that can generate a will quickly, and at a fraction of the price that a qualified will maker would charge.

But buyers beware – doit-yourself will kits are rarely adequate when it comes to handling complex situations, and anyone making their will without professional assistance risks making a mistake, overlooking something or creating uncertainty about their wishes.

There are many rules set out in legislation and in case law about how words and phrases in wills are interpreted, and how wills are interpreted as a whole.

Where the interpretation of the will is uncertain, it may have to be determined by the Court, which can result in long delays and expenses.

Most DIY kits on the market offer limited guidance, particularly on the following issues: • what forms part of your estate • dealing with blended families

• how to handle superannuation • taxation related to your estate • determining the powers of the executor • details about guardians and trustees.

When you make a will with NSW Trustee & Guardian, our qualified will makers ensure it meets all the requirements needed to be valid and provide impartial witnesses.

We talk through all of the things you need to consider so that you can make the best decisions for your loved ones.

You can also appoint us as your independent executor to take advantage of our full range of estate administration expertise. Appointing us as executor can also spare your loved ones from the burden of this role during a difficult time.

Age and experience is no barrier to learning to dance

THE biggest obstacles for Seniors dancing is the lack of confidence due to age, feelings of inexperience and lack of self assurance.

At the Julie Ross Dance studio we have a class to suit you and our very experienced and caring teachers will help and support you take that

first step.

All you need to be a dance enthusiast is to love music, have a willingness to participate, not take yourself too seriously, and as it does help to have a sense of humour.

The classes offered at our studio for Seniors are

our very popular tap classes for beginners on Tuesday mornings with a new basic beginner class for ultimate beginners starting soon, and a class for those with a bit of experience on Wednesday evenings.

Dancefit on Monday mornings, and in the

new class on Wednesday mornings, is a great class to get fit and dance to your favourite tunes.

The class has an aerobic flowing dance component and then when everyone is warm incorporates a strength and flexibility component with bands done in a safe way from the floor and the barre.

There is an option to stay only 30mins for the dance section.

You need a reasonable amount of fitness for this class but it's not too hectic.

2021 is bringing with it some exciting times at The Community Transport Company, changing it up just a little!

With our recent rebrand, we are pushing for a modern feel, but are

dedicated to continuing with the same great service you have all come to love and rely on.

What do we do best?

Provide solutions for those most vulnerable, living with disability,

or who find themselves disadvantaged and unable to make use of main-stream public transport.

The biggest obstacles for Seniors dancing is the lack of confidence due to age, feelings of inexperience and lack of self assurance.

Our newest seated dance and movement class for men and women is on Mondays at 1pm and is for Seniors who need a bit more stability and support.

The class is done mostly from a seated position with some work on the barre however with both teachers supporting, some can work from the chair while others are at the barre.

Members can tune in online with zoom if they are unable to attend in Coffs Harbour.

The emphasis is on creating dance to music in a fun and achievable way using imagination and artistry.

The class is taught by

everyone to, “Jump aboard, and join in the fun with our new revamped social outings,” assuring us that, “there’s something to keep everyone happy in 2021!”

Celebrate Seniors Making The Coffs Coast Thrive Locals are reminded they have until this Monday to nominate seniors who help make the Coffs Coast an inspiring place to live, in the 2021 NSW Seniors Festival Local Achievement Awards.

APPLY NOW FOR ROUND 2 REGIONAL SENIORS TRAVEL CARD

LOCALS are reminded they have until this Monday to nominate seniors who help make the Coffs Coast an inspiring place to live, in the 2021 NSW Seniors Festival Local Achievement Awards.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said this local awards program celebrates the work and achievements of Coffs Coast seniors who make us proud every day.

“Seniors have gone above and beyond for our community as volunteers, carers and role models in a challenging year where our State has faced bushfires, floods, drought and a health pandemic,” Mr Singh said.

“If you know a senior who helps make our community a better place to live, I encourage you to nominate them.”

The Coffs Harbour Electorate awards program is part of a busy schedule of statewide events for the 2021 NSW Seniors Festival, which runs from 13 to 24 April.

It’s the largest seniors festival in the southern hemisphere and enables older people to engage with each other, their community, ageing services and relevant businesses.

These initiatives are a great opportunity for communities to celebrate their seniors and all the fantastic work they do for the Coffs Coast.

Winners of the Coffs Harbour Electorate Local Achievement Awards will be announced during the NSW Seniors Festival.

Nomination forms are available at, and must be returned to, Mr Singh’s electorate office, Suite 1/9 Park Avenue, Coffs Harbour.

Nominations close on Monday, 12 April.

Regional Seniors Travel Card

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said it’s fantastic to see the keen response to year two of the trial of the NSW Regional Seniors Travel Card – the $250 prepaid Visa card which benefited more than 337,500 seniors and their communities in 2020.

“This card is great news for regional seniors and another way we’re injecting money into the regions with the benefit flowing for fuel stations, taxi drivers and local economies,” Mr Singh said.

“Eligible seniors have until 30 November 2021 to apply and I encourage seniors living in the Coffs Harbour electorate to submit an application through Service NSW.” Seniors must be an age pensioner with a valid Pensioner Concession Card or hold a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card issued by either the Department of Human Services or Department of Veterans’ Affairs.

Applications for the card are made online at www.service.nsw.gov.au, by calling 13 77 88 or by visiting a Service NSW Service Centre.

Virtual Parkinson’s Support Programs A Big Hit During Pandemic

q Music Therapist Bonnie Nilsson leads a pre-COVID singing session to help improve the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s disease.

By Andrea FERRARI

TWELVE months ago, Mid North Coast Local Health District’s (MNCLHD) Parkinson’s Disease support team could never have imagined they would be delivering their group meetings and exercise programs online.

In 2021, however, these different ways of supporting

and connecting with people living with Parkinson’s have proved to be very successful.

In the lead-up to World Parkinson’s Day on 11 April, the support meetings and singing, boxing and music therapy programs have continued across the Mid North Coast as an important way of improving health outcomes for clients.

MNCLHD Parkinson’s

Clinical Nurse Consultant Vince Carroll said the day would help raise community awareness of the disease as the search for a cure continues.

“Parkinson’s is a progressive, degenerative condition of the central nervous system which affects the brain’s ability to control movement and may also be associated with other

q Pre-COVID training: MNCLHD Parkinson’s nurse Vince Carroll, PD Fit Boxing class participants Graham Saxby and Paul Grant, and neurological physiotherapist Amanda Sleeman.

EBike a game changer A COFFS Harbour man with Parkinson’s is experiencing ‘life-changing’ health improvements since being introduced to eBikes by his support company Heal for Life Australia.

In just three months, Greg, aged 54, has noticed he has much more movement, less shaking and feels stronger.

But the changes are more than physical, he said.

“My confidence has grown, I’m better at talking to others and I feel more capable when I am riding.

“I used to be a bit of a hermit.

“Now, I love getting out and about.

“Along the way people will stop to chat to me about the eBike.

“That is life-changing

because it makes me feel like I don’t have a disability.

“No one is focused on what I can’t do, they just want to talk about our shared interest of riding bikes,” he sid.

Greg was introduced to eBikes by Jodie Kennedy, Founder and Director at Heal for Life Australia, who is an avid cyclist herself.

“I know what a difference cycling, and exercise in general, can make to our lives and I’m always looking for new activities that will suit our client’s individual interests, needs and goals,” she said.

“As soon as I had a turn on an eBike, I knew they’d be perfect for Greg, so we invested in a pair of them straight away.

“It’s been incredible to

see such big changes in such a short timeframe.

“Now, not only is Greg enjoying his own rides and health improvements, he’s taken on the role of teaching our support workers how to ride too.

“He is teaching us as much as we are supporting him, and it’s been great for his confidence.”

If Greg has one piece of advice for others who are nervous about trying an eBike, it would be to just give it a go.

“Exercise fixes so many things, it makes you feel good.

“Plus, the eBike means you can try it without having to worry if you’ll make it up the hill or make it home.

“Try it and see if it’s for you – it’s been life-changing

“These programs offer emotional and practical support and are a way of connecting people who are facing similar challenges.

“They allow everyone to share feelings, resources and experiences, and provide motivation and inspiration to help those living with Parkinson’s to deal positively with the changes to their lifestyle.”

Vince said the prevalence of Parkinson’s increases by a

factor of three after the age of 65 so the growth rate in the number of people living with the disease is expected to increase dramatically as the Australian population ages.

Diagnosis of Parkinson’s can take years, and people can live with it for decades.

For further information, contact Vince Carroll, Parkinson’s Clinical Nurse Consultant, Mid North Coast Local Health District on (02) 6659 2300.

for me,” he said.

Greg’s confidence has now grown so much he’s set his sights on completing the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail and has plans to start his

own eBike group.

Suffering from mental health issues, just a few months later Jayden ended his life after desperately seeking medical help.

The blue tree has since become a symbol of hope.

During Youth Week Blue Sky is promoting the Blue Tree project.

Zena Keidge at Blue Sky said, “By spreading the paint and spreading the message that ‘it’s OK to not be OK’, we can help break down the stigma that’s still attached to mental health.

“We are encouraging all High Schools and community groups across the Coffs Coast to get involved and make your own Blue Tree out of any media you like.

“We will reveal your Blue Tree creations during the Youth Week closing event.”

Luminescence exhibition at Woolgoolga

A STUNNING ‘Luminescence’ mixed media art exhibition is currently adorning the walls of Woolgoolga Art Gallery, and is a must see exhibition for all locals and visitors to the township.

The transcending exhibition showcases the artworks by two local artists, Dianne Houghton and Noela Hattersley.

Noela is a Safety Beach local who has painted ever since she can remember,

and her husband departed Sydney twelve years ago to settle on the Coffs Coast that she was able to truly indulge in her love of painting and expand on her individual art collection.

“Most of my paintings are

of beachscapes and are from around this area, and there are a couple from the New England area where I did a trip last year,” Noela said of her paintings currently on exhibition.

Dianne Houghton learnt

her artistic craft through experimentation and self exploration.

Highlights Galore For SWIFF21

By Andrew VIVIAN

WITH 120 film screenings, events, performances, parties, and industry sessions, the 2021 Screenwave International Film Festival (SWIFF21) abounds with highlights that will captivate everyone.

SWIFF21, presented by tailor-made furniture company, Ashton Designs, will run from this Wednesday, April 14 until April 29.

A major highlight is the presence of Australian film icon, Jack Thompson, who will chair a Festival Patron team which also features Sydney Film Prizewinning documentary maker Sascha Ettinger-Epstein (“Destination Arnold”, “The Pink House”), and Aaron Glenane, who has been acclaimed for performances in “Killing Ground”, “Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan”, and Netflix’s “Snowpiercer”.

SWIFF21 will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Mr Thompson’s first film, “Wake in Fright”, directed by Ted Kotcheff with the soundtrack performed live with the ‘desert blues’ of the Rhyece O’Neill Band.

For the festival’s sixth outing, in addition to the Jetty Memorial Theatre, SWIFF21 will also utilise the Coffs Harbour Education Campus (CHEC).

CHEC will be home to a huge events space that features a beer garden, a café, nine full days of programming at the 350-capacity CHEC Theatre and the Closing Night Gala and afterparty.

The festival hosts seven Australian Premieres, six NSW Premieres, and 23 World Premieres of short films.

Australian Premieres

Friday, 9 April, 2021

include Viggo Mortensen’s family drama “Falling”, the UNICEF Award-winning Polish holocaust epic “The Painted Bird”, UK youth drug-smuggling social drama “County Lines”, hard-hitting Filipino anti-Duterte doco “A Thousand Cuts”, the eyeopening French gender identity documentary “Little Girl”, “Wildfire” which tells the story of sisters reconciling in post-conflict Ireland, and “The Macaluso Sisters”, a stunningly-told story over multiple decades as it follows a family of Italian sisters through good and hard times.

NSW Premieres include “Yalda, A Night of Forgiveness”, an Iranian q Audience numbers break records each year at SWIFF. Photo: supplied by SWIFF.

capital punishment drama on a reality TV set, “The Surrogate” an ethical drama exploring social issues, “Maddy The Model”, which shatters supermodel stereotypes and the “pressure cooker” thriller “The Killing of Two Lovers”.

Award winning or nominated films include “Nomadland”, starring twotime Oscar-winner Frances McDormand, and “Minari”, a beautiful film about a young

Korean family chasing the American Dream in Arkansas, along with “Judas & The Black Messiah”, “Another Round” and “The Mole Agent” which have been nominated for Oscars, including Best Actor and Best Director.

For those who like a chuckle, there is indie comedy “Kajillionaire”, a coming-ofage black comedy “Dinner In America”, charming taboobusting heart warmer “Saint Frances”, the utterly romantic

yet absurd “Golden Voices” and “Some Kind of Heaven“, an offbeat documentary about a Floridian retirement town where sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll persevere.

Non-fiction films at SWIFF mirror the volatile year that 2020 was.

Dianne’s paintings currently on display include watercolour, mixed media and oils, and feature still life flowers and fruit, beachscapes and sea life.

“Being a gardener, many of my earlier paintings were of flowers,” Dianne said.

“Everything that I paint is what I love, my love of nature links in with my love of painting.”

Of the 50 diverse paintings on exhibition, more than fifteen sold in the exhibition’s first week of opening.

“It’s been really nice,” Noela said of the large number of early sales.

The exhibition is on display until Monday 3 May at Woolgoolga Art Gallery, Turon Parade, Woolgoolga from 10am to 4pm daily.

dissident artist Ai Weiwei lobs a Molotov cocktail at the establishment with streetlevel view of the Hong Kong riots, and the Romanian doco “Collective” has been dubbed one of the greatest movies about journalism ever made.

On the lighter side of non-fiction, a selection of heart-warming true stories includes Joaquin Phoenix’s experimental silent film following the life of a pig named “Gunda”, and the award-sweeping Norwegian “The Painter and the Thief” about an artist creating a portrait of a charismatic drug addict who stole her artworks from a gallery.

For dog lovers SWIFF21 offers the poignant “Stray” and the environmentallyconscious, “The Truffle Hunters”.

Connecting cinema and music is a vital part of the SWIFF ‘recipe’, and the festival welcomes Latin guitar legends Slava and Leonard Grigoryan as they perform the live soundtrack to a screening of heart-

warming, family-friendly, “A Boy Called Sailboat”.

The Nextwave Youth Film Awards, SWIFF’s most highly attended event, is a family-friendly gala event celebrating young regional filmmakers aged 10-25, with a red carpet arrival and live music, The premiere screening of the top 22 films created for the annual Nextwave competition is followed by the awarding of tens of thousands of dollars in prizes for the next generation of regional filmmakers.

SWIFF Closing Night Galas always end with a ‘bang’, and this year’s, at the CHEC Theatre, features a screening of the blistering “Mogul Mowgli”, starring an exceptional Riz Ahmed as a UK MC spitting truth to power and is followed by an ‘ethnocyberfunk’ live, world music performance by Coco Varma, Bobby Singh, & Ben Walsh.

From Bray Street to Bourbon Street, Jazz Showcase Concert is a big hit

q Performed with aplomb and finesse.

By David WIGLEY

JAZZ quartet Six Again stunned the audience with their first Jazz Showcase Concert at the Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium on March 26.

Tahlia Farag’s smooth melodic tones had a feel of New Orleans’ Bourbon Street rather than Bray Street as the 2021 scholarship holder wowed the audience with renditions of There Will Never Be Another You by Harry Warren and On The Sunny Side Of The Street by Jimmy McHugh, Directed by Danny Stitt.

Coffs Conservatorium Director, Pat Brearley praised the talented musicians.

“After a year of cancelled concerts in 2020, both ensembles were excited to get on stage and the final result was a brilliant evening of jazz.

“A stunning performance from Six Again, Tahlia joined

the group this term and looked right at home as they performed with aplomb and finesse,” said Brearley.

After the interval, The Coffs Conservatorium Stage Band raised the tempo opening with the classic Blues Brothers theme song, Peter Gunn, Directed by Chris Frater.

“The Stage Band showed their growth and development with an exciting and energetic second half program to bring Term 1 to a close for the ensembles.

“It’s fantastic seeing these ensembles on stage to bring the first term to a close, both groups continue to develop their skills and you can see the enjoyment in their music every time they step on stage.

“It’s a pleasure to bring these opportunities to our students and it goes to show arts, culture and music education is alive and well at the Coffs Conservatorium,” said Brearley.

q 2021 scholarship holder Tahlia Farag’s smooth melodic tones wowed the audience.

Have your say on new K-2 curriculum

TEACHERS, parents and the broader community are being asked to help shape the new English and Maths syllabuses for Kindergarten to Year 2.

The new evidencebased curriculum is part of the NSW Government’s goal to reduce unnecessary content and give teachers more time to teach, ultimately improving student outcomes.

“The new curriculum will help our teachers focus on what they do best – teaching our students and assisting them to achieve their best,” said Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh.

“We’re making sure our youngest students build strong foundations for future learning and can leave school with the tools to thrive in this rapidly changing world.”

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said literacy and numeracy skills are critical to unlocking young people’s potential while at school, improving their academic outcomes and enhancing their careers.

“The new curriculum will see all educators

teaching essential knowledge in evidencebased sequences for our students to build important foundational knowledge,” Ms Mitchell said.

“We have prioritised essential content and provided clear examples to teachers to reduce ambiguity.

“Teachers are the drivers of student outcomes.

“By reducing the clutter and confusion for teachers, it allows them to focus on their students.

“Our approach to these reforms is evidence-driven and focused on student success.

“The feedback we have had from teachers is very positive and confirms we are moving in the right direction.”

You can provide feedback on the proposed new English and Maths syllabuses for Kindergarten to Year 2 before 30 April.

Comets show flair in pre-season

By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs Harbour Comets maintained their good form in the Group 2 pre-season competition with a 22-18 victory over the South Grafton Rebels at Geoff King Oval.

Two tries from Naden Simon, one try from Brad Nicholson and a stunning solo effort from Liam Dunn edged the Comets over the line as the Rebels launched a second half fight back.

and pierced the Comets defence with set plays but the fightback was thwarted by the flare of Liam Dunn as he picked up the ball up in the middle of the park and set off on a zig zag run which left two Rebels forwards on the ground diving at shadows, two more Rebels plugged the gap on the try line but the slippery Dunn was too hot to handle and wrestled his way over the line in a stunning solo effort.

Comets reserve team coach Miles Fairbank summed up the match.

“We started the game strongly with good shape which put pressure on the rebels early on and we grabbed a couple tries from that.

“I thought the Rebels got better as the game went on and will be a team to watch come finals time,” said Fairbank.

Comets first grade coach Brandon Costin who played at five eight for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Sydney Roosters, Western Suburbs and Canberra Raiders told

The slippery playmaker was too hot to handle.

Stunning solo effort rewarded with a try.

News Of The Area, “After no rugby league for the last 12 months, the Comets are raring to go in a brand new season, unfortunately due to weather we have only had one trial game and will be under done when it comes to round one, most teams are in the same boat so I don't believe we will be disadvantaged.

“They play expansive

Last year’s season was cut short after 10 games due to COVID-19 restrictions, before teams split into North and Southern Conferences and finished their own competitions.

After an interrupted inaugural season, North Coast Football General Manager Andrew Woodward was looking forward to a full season of interregional showdowns.

“There were some really good rivalries between North and South in the first season, and we had the same rivalries here as in the EPL such as Coffs vs. Port that started to build momentum before it was stopped,” he said.

“Our clubs enjoy the higher level of competition and enjoy being in a comp with such a broad appeal.”

Claim on Lotto draw

AFTER a $20 million lotto draw is conducted, there are three winning tickets.

Two are claimed by ticket holders and they each receive their one third of the prize pool.

The third ticket has never been produced.

In an effort to prompt the missing ticket holder to come forward, the winning numbers are publicised.

40 persons claimed to have once held the winning ticket, but no one was able to provide sufficient evidence that they purchased the ticket.

The unclaimed prize money is transferred to the New South Wales State Consolidated fund.

15 years later, Daniel claims to have presented his winning ticket to a Lotto agency, who he says, discarded it.

Daniel commences action in the Supreme Court, claiming negligence, restitution, breach of trust, breach of contract and damages.

The Court dismisses his claims.

Daniel appeals the decision and as a pensioner, with insufficient funds to retain legal representation, seeks a referral for pro bono assistance.

He claims that he is also entitled to free legal representation because he is dyslexic and has a poor grasp of the English language.

The Court states that while Daniel’s impecuniosity and limited capacity favours a referral, the absence of apparent merit in his case does not lend the court to make the referral for pro bono assistance.

He represents himself.

In determining Daniel’s claims, the Court decides that due to the lengthy delay between the drawing of the winning numbers and Daniel’s commencement of proceedings, his claims are statute barred under the Limitation Act and dismisses Daniel’s appeal on this basis.

Daniel is ordered to pay the legal costs involved in the State defending his appeal, which involved retaining a costly silk.

Dear Jasminda,

NOW that the flood waters are starting to subside, I have a new problem swarms of blood-sucking mosquitoes.

What earthly purpose do they serve and what can I do to avoid the bites and potentially Ross River Fever?

Dr Amarjit More OAM DEAR News Of The Area,

DR Amarjit More died on ANZAC Day last year, aged 68, peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family.

The dearly beloved husband of Sarvjit, the much loved father and father-in-law of Ashley and Amandeep, Sasha and Gurjit, Shabnam and Inderjit and Amrita and Parminder.

The adored grandfather of their children.

The loving brother and brother-in-law of Disa and Jagtar and Randhir and Tersam. Cherished uncle to all his nieces and nephews.

Because of COVID restrictions, we were unable to celebrate his life.

On Australia Day this year, Dr More was recognised posthumously for his service to medicine and the local Woolgoolga community with an OAM. He is remembered for helping establish the local Sikh temple, which is the country’s oldest and has now been granted heritage status.

On 13 March 2021 he was inducted into the Premier’s Multicultural Honour Roll.

Dr More was first

honoured in 2001 when he was awarded the Centenary Medal for service to the Centenary of Federation celebrations.

Though the awards speak otherwise, he was a man of great humility and quietude.

He was devoted to his family and his patients of whom he said when his cancer diagnosis was confirmed, he said “What about my patients?”

Thank you, Annette JOHNSON, a friend of Amarjit and the community.

We don’t need it DEAR News Of The Area,

THE reality is that the majority of people DO NOT want this ridiculously overpriced (and climbing higher) Civic Centre, which is really all it is.

There is no need for a new Library or Art Gallery as they are both housed in a building which could be extended if need be.

The Library is NEVER full at any given time and the unrealistic reason for children being able to use it is not true at all as they dont use it now.

Plus, they all have

devices on hand which cover all their educational needs, so why would they come to a Library when they do not have to leave home!

The Council have successfully covered up the amount of negative votes for this project and blundered on ahead with it.

The community of Coffs Harbour will have the displeasure of seeing their rates soar higher and higher to cover this cost, and which will eventually be passed on to their children, and by that time

we will have a whole new set of Councillors to cope with the public's outcry of neverending rate rises.

When all this could have been stopped right now before it cripples Coffs Harbour.

We cannot sustain such a large spend, so when you look at this whole picture, there is no "balance" of opinions because everyone is of the same one.

Regards, D. WILSON, Coffs Harbour.

Footballers bowl over the rain

OVER 200 footballers from Coffs United Football Club took to the bowling alley as the club provided a team bonding experience the rain couldn’t spoil.

to the bowling alley to build camaraderie as the fields have been washed out from the torrential rain for most of March.

The popularity of the event created some logistical issues as 13 lanes simply weren’t enough so the club implemented two shifts where the under 6’s to under 10’s played across 13 lanes for the first hour and the under 11’s to under 16’s played for the second hour.

The under 12’s girls had the largest turnout with 16 players and team coach Kate Silvy explained how it provided an opportunity for the new players to meet their teammates.

“It was great seeing all the kids back together with some new faces, there was a great club atmosphere with all kids and coaches keen to get the season started.

“What a wonderful idea to make the most of the wet start to the season with team bonding whilst ten pin bowling,” said Kate.

Mrs Tina W. Dear Tina, IT is quite hard to love the humble mosquito, particularly at 2am in the morning when a lone mosquito buzzes in your ear, but you are too tired to do anything but slap your face and swear.

Apparently, they are the deadliest insect on earth, which is quite an achievement, able to wipe out their two-legged foes with everything from malaria to dengue fever as well as knock you for six with Ross River Fever. On top of that they can give your poor little pooch heart worm which is a devastating disease.

And you are right, they are currently swarming around in huge numbers and breeding up in stagnant pools of water.

I've swapped my Issey Miyake fragrance for eau de DEET lately in an effort to repel the blood-sucking blighters away.

Despite all of this, they do have some benefits -- the larvae are important in the food chain, providing meals for fish, birds and spiders. It is also only the females that feed off your blood and they do this to get the right nutrients for their babies, which is kind of sweet for Twilight fans.

So, on balance, there is an earthly purpose to mosquitoes, but that doesn't make any of us feel much better when we are covered in red, itchy welts. Keep the doors closed and stay out of the garden at dusk as they are ferocious at that time.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

From the Mayor’s desk

By Mayor Denise KNIGHT Coffs Harbour City Council

Visionary State Government Plan for Coffs Harbour PLANNING for the future is a crucial part of the work of a local council and it was great to see so much of that work come together so beautifully in the recently unveiled Coffs Harbour Regional City Action Plan.

As well as incorporating Council’s key growth and community development opportunities and strategies to take our city forward as an attractive, innovative and dynamic place to live, work and play, the Plan also recognises that the city centre is critical to Coffs Harbour’s success as a regional city.

The Plan features the city centre heavily as a community gathering place offering arts and culture and a place that will host a significant share of the city’s jobs and businesses, as well as opportunities for learning and collaborating and professional and civic services for the larger regional catchment.

I’d say the State Government really gets how it will work and why we see it as so important.

Critical to the success of the Plan are the various Collaboration Opportunities listed with state agencies and others.

And the very first ‘Collaboration Opportunity’ states that Council, with advice from stakeholders, will cluster major arts and cultural infrastructure in the city centre to bring life to the city and make better use of public transport, taxi services, parking and ancillary services like cafes and restaurants.

Interestingly, when the draft version of the Plan was released it became clear that arts, culture and the creative industries were missing.

Locals working in these sectors immediately pulled together and made it clear in submissions that the hugely vibrant – and growing creative industries sector needed to be included as a community priority.

It’s good to see the State Government was listening.

I’m a great believer in working together to achieve results and I’m looking forward to collaborating further with the NSW Government and other key figures to see the Plan come to life and for Coffs Harbour to become the best city on the North Coast.

Qantas Offering Even More Choice Qantas has now launched its direct flights to Coffs Harbour from Melbourne – and increased the size of its aircraft on one of the daily Sydney services.

This major capacity boost on its planned services will deliver around 2,600 additional seats every week once fully operational, or 135,000 seats a year.

Coupled with Rex’s new Sydney services, this means that we will see potentially around 210,000 extra passengers travelling through Coffs Harbour Airport.

North East Tennis players compete in Bathurst state event

By David WIGLEY SOME of the best junior tennis players from the North East of NSW travelled to Bathurst to participate in the under 12’s teams event last weekend.

North East Tennis competed against regional teams from North West, Central West, Northumberland, Metro, South East and South West in sunny conditions at Bathurst.

The North East Tennis boys team finished in 6th place and the girls finished in 7th place, boys team manager Kylie Hunt from Nambucca Heads was encouraged by the performances given the step up in class.

Another amazing experience with Kim!

Unparalleled Professional!

When it came time to list our house the decision was easy, we knew exactly who we were going to use!. Having bought our house originally through Kim we knew how friendly and professional Kim and the team at Unrealestate are. Kim kept us up to date with everything along the way and even sold our house for above asking price…what more could you ask for!

We highly recommend Kim and the team and will definitely be using Unrealestate for any future sales!

Kim’s attention to detail and professionalism exceeded our expectations. We had the property listed with another company for over nine months...and she sold it...in just four weeks! Plus, she achieved a price we were very happy with. As we are in Sydney and meeting face to face was impossible, her excellent communication skills gave us confidence at all times (Did I mention this was during the Covid-19 lockdown!!!) We enthusiastically recommend her to anyone selling a property in the Coffs Harbour region.

Rhiannon and Adam – 6 Kinchela Ave

Bruce and Robyn – 3/67 Park Beach Rd

Thanks Kim!

Honest and a pleasure to work with

Kim was a pleasure to use as our agent for the sale of our home. She went above and beyond to help prepare our house for sale as I am located interstate. Nothing was too much trouble. Communication with Kim was easy, and she regularly contacted me to provide updates. Her honesty and professionalism set her apart from other agents.

As a buyer, it was a pleasure to work with Kim. She has been entirely professional throughout, direct, and honest with us in response to our questions and requests for information, and always responded in a timely way. Her advice regarding the house and purchase was much appreciated. She represented the property and her agency extremely well.

56 Joeliza Drive, Repton Price: $780,000-$790,000

THIS big, private residence has been home to the same family for about 18 years and is being offered for sale for the first time.

Those wanting to stretch out, work from home or those with larger families will love the flexible floor plan, as will people who want rural-style living with easy, level access and room to breathe (or space to keep extra vehicles, boats, camper trailers etc).

Positioned on the block to take advantage of both the sunlight and the tranquil, towering gums, the home also has wide wrap-around verandahs, which really suit the Aussie bush lifestyle.

Entry is into the spacious open plan living area, which

fits a large lounge suite and square eight-seater dining table with ease.

There's also a Eureka wood fire.

The adjoining galley kitchen with walk-in-pantry has a lovely aspect out to the gardens and there's a family room beyond to set up a kids' play area or perhaps a homework station, to supervise the kids while you're preparing dinner.

Those who work from home will love the fact the fifth bedroom is just beyond this space, allowing the ideal office zone while keeping the other bedrooms more private (the family bathroom is conveniently also on this level).

While not having to share a bedroom is bound to keep the kids of bigger families

happy, the parents haven't been forgotten either, with a serene retreat upstairs.

A bay-style window is the ideal spot to enjoy the tranquil tree-lined outlook, and there's a deck off here large enough for a bistro setting for your morning cup of tea.

An ensuite and walk-inrobe complete the picture.

Back downstairs and a spacious covered outdoor entertaining area is perfect for barbecues or entertaining friends, and the largely gravel driveway to the double lock up garage provides easy access to this area and beyond.

Bring your van, trailer and perhaps kayaks for Sunday morning trips down to the Bellinger River at Mylestom.

The requisite tanks and garden storage sheds in this area mean you don't need to clutter the garage, there are two drinking water tanks of approximately 24,500 litres (6,500 gallons) and approximately 32,500 litres (8,500 gallons) along with a third tank for watering the garden which also has a fire

pump.

Go for a stroll down the block (or drive your ride-on mower) beyond the bush and out into another open paddock at the rear.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT

NBN, 8.30pm

FRIDAY

THE LIVING ROOM

WIN, 7.30pm

It’s Friday night, and you don’t know what to order. A serve of cooking nostalgia with chef Miguel? Or how about a singing class? What about a de-clutter and reno with gentleman Barry Du Bois? Or perhaps you’re after a spot of nature with the most clever mammal in the sea? We all know we get a little spoilt for choice watching The Living Room because the hosts love to pack so much in. Tonight, you can have it all. Em Rusciano gives the hosts a singing lesson, while Chris Brown goes diving with dolphin. Enjoy.

The Mission: Impossible franchise is one that keeps getting better with each film, and its sixth instalment is a thrilling, action-packed outing from start to finish. After Ethan Hunt’s (Tom Cruise) decision to save his team results in stolen plutonium falling into the wrong hands, he must retrieve the material before it is used by a terrorist group and their mysterious leader. Joining regulars Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames and Rebecca Ferguson is Henry Cavill, who plays a CIA assassin tasked with monitoring the IMF team. Loaded with incredible set pieces, gripping tension and an excellent cast, Fallout is a superior action movie for all audiences.

THURSDAY

FUTURE MAN

SBS VICELAND, 9.20pm

Buckle up: Future Man returns tonight with its third and final season of weirdness, raunchiness and an abundance of time travel.

This goofy sci-fi comedy, starring Josh Hutcherson (above) and Eliza Coupe, doesn’t hold back in its final hurrah and, although this season is a little hit-and-miss, there’s still the oodles of over-the-top entertainment fans will expect. It even concludes on a satisfactory note, which is more than you can say for many shows that are suddenly killed off. In tonight’s first episode, “The Precipice Of Yesterday”, Josh (Hutcherson), Tiger (Coupe), and Wolf (Derek Wilson) are facing ‘death by entertainment’ for their time crimes.

“For more than 10 years the Swans Academy has taken talented players to the elite,” he said.

“Our six women

Community Football Manager – AFL North Coast Paul Taylor said Devine’s Allies selection was a great opportunity to launch her career.

“The Allies team comprises the best players from NSW, ACT, Tasmania, and the Northern Territory, with selection coming from her strong performances with the Sydney Swans Academy,” he said.

“April has the chance to follow in the footsteps of

Coffs riders fly high in Castle Hill

By John MILLER

CASTLE Hill was the venue for the NSW BMX Series 3 on the weekend.

A group of six riders from the Coffs Coast Cyclones BMX Club made the trip and came home with some great results.

Hannah Beattie had a great race meet coming 6th on her 20-inch bike in the 9 girls and 3rd on her Cruiser

in the 8-10 cruiser girls.

Dusty Owers came 8th on her 20 inch in the 10 girl’s division.

Cody Beattie raced well and came away with 6th place on his 20 inch in the 12-year boys and 6th in the 13-14 Cruiser Boys.

Hunter Owers came 5th on his Cruiser in the 11-12 boys and made the semifinals on his 20-inch bike in

FIVE local riders from Coffs Coast Bodyboarding Association travelled to Newcastle for the last weekend of March to compete for the 2021 NSW State Bodyboarding Titles.

The top riders from each division win a spot representing NSW at the Australian Bodyboard Titles at Port Macquarie in November and the local Coffs Coast riders proved they are ready to mix it up with the best in the country.

Despite the terrible weather and flooding leading up to the event,

competitors were favoured with three warm sunny days, clean two to three foot waves and offshore winds at Nobbys Beach in Newcastle.

Ryan Hill-Smith (North Boambee Valley) contested the U16 Cadets placing 3rd against some of NSW top young talent.

Ryan also tested his skills in the Opens Men's Division.

Although he didn’t make it through Round 1, Ryan was the youngest competitor in the division and competed against top ranking Australian Riders.

the 12-year boys.

Tyler Calder rode extremely well coming 6th in the 13-14 boys Cruiser and was unlucky to miss the finals on his 20-inch finishing 9th overall for the day in the 13-year-old boys.

Aaron Miller continued his great form and finished 5th on his 20 inch bike in the 15 year old boys and then raced up a group against the 17-24 men and was beaten in a photo finish into 8th position.

It was a great effort and shows huge courage to pit yourself against competitive riders of that calibre.

Holden Stubbs (Coffs Harbour) blasted his way through the competition on Day 1 and set himself straight up for the Finals on Day 3.

He took that opportunity to free surf some other locations in Newcastle on Day 2 to help prepare and the plan paid off.

After a very close Semi Final on Sunday morning, Holden took to the water with confidence in the

Men of League help Group 2 Rugby League juniors

By Aiden BURGESS THE main charity of rugby league has recently helped the region’s rugby league juniors.

The North Coast Men of League presented $1,000.00 to the Junior Rugby League presidents of the Sawtell Panthers and Coffs Harbour Comets.

The North Coast Men of League charity organisation will continue to raise money at the Coffs Harbour Yacht Club on Friday nights, aiming to help the Bellingen Magpies and Orara Valley Tomahawks

Juniors next.

Sawtell Panthers junior president Bec House praised the generous contribution of Men of League to Group 2 Junior Rugby League.

“It’s a great honour to receive such a donation from Men of League,” she said.

“The support that they are giving Sawtell Junior Rugby League Club is incredible.

“We are able to purchase new and updated equipment for the kids thanks to them.”

House highlighted to News Of The Area the importance of supporting junior rugby league.

Grand Final.

His opening 7.0 ride put him on top all the way to the end, claiming the 2021 U18 Junior NSW State Title.

A relatively new member to CCBA but no stranger to competitive bodyboarding, Zachary Armytage (Thora) took on the best of the Drop Knee riders.

After smashing his Semi Final, Zac took to the water ready to carve his way through the Final but with a lull late in the heat it meant he couldn’t find a strong enough second high scoring wave to back up his opener.

Zacs fourth place means he just missed out on a spot at the Nationals.

The Over 35 Masters Division has become one of the most hotly contested Divisions over the past few years with the resurgence of bodyboarding for guys that grew up in the peak of the sport in the late 90s early 2000s.

There were nearly as many men in Over 35s as the Open Mens Division making for some hard competition.

Paul Van Den Boom opened his account on Day 1 with enough scores on the

board to make the Day 2 Quarter Finals but then fell short and was not able to get to the Day 3 Finals.

Former CCBA Member Ben Gillespie (Sapphire Beach) had not competed at a major event for nearly 15 years and certainly made up for lost time by climbing his way to 3rd Place in the Over 35 Masters.

Bodyboarding is quickly becoming the hot kid in town again with major surfing publications like STAB and Beachgrit jumping on the bandwagon.

If you would like to come join your local club and see what all the fuss is about then head to www. coffscoastbodyboarding association.wordpress.com or email ccba@hotmail. com.

q Ryan Hill-Smith (Blue, 3rd Right) 3rd Place U16 Cadets.

“Without the support of the local community and NSWRL the game will cease to exist in the area,” she said.

“If it wasn’t for the local community and sponsors we wouldn’t be able to run a club, we wouldn’t be able to purchase equipment,

clothing etc.

“They hold a big part in supporting Junior Rugby League.”

North Coast Men of League president Peter Barrett said supporting junior rugby league was an important initiative of the organisation.

“Men of League need to get behind the juniors to help our game survive and get more boys and girls playing the game as it all starts with juniors,” he said.

“Grass roots rugby league should be the focus of all locals.”

North Coast Men of League hold charity days at various local venues, including the Coffs Harbour Race Club, Coffs Harbour Yacht Club, Park Beach Bowling Club, and Sawtell Bowling Club.

Raffles are held each Friday night with proceeds going towards Group 2 Junior Rugby League.

Coffs pair chasing Randwick glory

By BRAD GREENSHIELDS

COFFS Harbour has two chances of victory in Saturday’s Newhaven Park Country Championships Final being run at Royal Randwick.

The Warren Gavenlock trained Plonka has reached the final field for the second year in a row while Baileys from the Graham Payne stable has also got the local racing community excited.

Baileys qualified for the $500,000 race with a withering burst in the Coffs Harbour qualifier that saw the Fastnet Rock gelding come from last on the home turn to edge out odds-on favourite and fellow qualifier Tara Jasmine.

That performance where “he ran some time” has given Payne confidence heading to Randwick.

“He ran 34.37 on a Soft 6, that’s flying,” Payne explained.

“We had a couple of concerns in the race, he got chopped out by the favourite

but because you’ve got a very intelligent, senior rider on, he didn’t panic and he followed the favourite and I’ll say this, he gave it a cold as he went past it.”

As the owner of the Stuarts Point Tavern, Payne said it will be a big night by the bar if his stable star wins.

He stopped short of doing a John Singleton and declaring free drinks for all if Baileys wins but admitted “there’ll be a big drink”.

“My wife does the cooking so maybe she’ll have to add a ‘Baileys Burger’ to the menu,” he said.

The heavy rain across Northern NSW has forced local trainers to find alternative methods to track work to keep their horses fit.

Gavenlock said he’s been hitting the beach with his Epaulette five year-old to keep him in tip-top condition.

And a trip to the beach is just the way Plonka likes it as a seaside stroll matches his nature.

“He’s just a cool dude, he’s Plonka.

“If he was a surf lifesaver on the beach all the chicks would want to be around him,” he said.

“Going down the beach seems to just make him all that bit more cruisy.”

Coffs Harbour has already had a winner in the short history of the Country

Championships.

In 2017, Free Standing trained by Cathleen Rode claimed the major prize.

Last year Plonka came close to adding to that list by finishing third in the race, only a quarter of a length behind the winner Gracie Belle.

Coaches Daniel Bannerman and Eugene Brogmus were in attendance and praised their swimmers results and team spirit throughout the meet.

“It’s great for the young swimmers from our local club to compete at the highest level in State swimming,” said

“We went down there last year and prior to going we had this great idea we were going to a big party and unfortunately COVID hit and destroyed that,” Gavenlock explained.

“This year has been a bit up and down and I lost my brother a week before the race which is sad and we had to deal with that personally and when the horse won it was just such a damn relief.

“Now I think he’s going a bit better than he was last year and I’m hopeful for a good draw and I’m pretty damned excited about it.”

The AFL North Coast’s 40th season is set to kick off on Saturday, 24 April, with Round 1 matches played across the North Coast in Coffs Harbour, Grafton, Nambucca Heads and Lismore.

2021 will see a 14-round competition with a four-week finals series culminating with the grand final on Saturday, 4 September.

To celebrate it’s upcoming 40th season, AFL North Coast will be holding a Festival of Footy pre-season carnival on Saturday 17 April.

It will a celebration of football in the region featuring all eight Senior teams, all seven Women’s teams plus special guests Ballina Women, with matches played across three grounds at C.ex Coffs International Stadium and Leisure Park A special function will be held on the evening of the Festival of Footy to celebrate the 40th consecutive season of the AFL North Coast competition.

Community Football and Competition Manager for AFL North Coast, Paul Taylor, said AFL North Coast provided a pulse for many communities.

“Footy is loved right up and down the North Coast, it’s been that way for 40 years and we’re proud to see our game go from strength to strength in this area,” he said.

Recent premiership winners the Coffs Harbour Breakers and Sawtell/ Toormina Saints will clash in their local derby to open the 2021 season during Round 1 at Fitzroy Oval.

The Saints knocked the Breakers out of the premiership race the last time they met with a victory in last season’s preliminary final.

The Saints will be out to go one better after finishing runners up to the Grafton Tigers in season 2020.

The Grafton Tigers begin their premiership defence at home when they host the Northern Beaches Blues.

The Tigers won their first flag in seven years last season, while the Blues will make a return to first grade competition after coming back to senior’s footy with

a reserve’s premiership in 2019.

The competition's newest members the Lismore Swans and Casino Lions get their season underway in their local derby at Oakes Oval.

Both the Swans and Lions enter this year’s AFL North Coast competition having previously played in the Northern Rivers competition.

The Lions last played a senior’s match in 2017, while the Swans look to bounce back from a tough 2020 season in which they had 14 losses and 2 draws.

Last season’s reserves premiers the Nambucca Valley Lions make the step up to seniors’ competition this season, and launch into their 2021 campaign with an opening round match at home against the Port Macquarie Magpies.

The Magpies had a rare down year in 2020 winning the wooden spoon.

The Sawtell/Toormina Saints and Grafton Tigers meet in their grand final rematch during Round 7 on Saturday, 5 June at Richardson Park.

The Saints and Breakers meet in their second local derby of the season during

Round 8 on Saturday, 19 June at Richardson Park.

The AFL North Coast women’s competition also gets underway on Saturday, 24 April.

The fourth women’s competition will feature seven teams after only having three in 2020.

Community Football and Competition Manager for AFL North Coast, Paul Taylor, said it was great to see the women’s competition more than double in teams in one season.

“It’s really exciting to see such growth in women’s footy in just one season,” he said.

“The Coffs Harbour

Breakers had a great season last year, but it’s a real unknown as to how the new teams will go this year, I can’t wait to see how they all go.”

2019 premiers the Port Macquarie Magpies return after a season off, while the Grafton Tigers and Nambucca Valley Lions enter women’s teams for the first time.

The Lismore Swans also make their debut in the AFL North Coast competition, after being the recent dominant force in the Northern Rivers competition.

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour swimmers Finn Pengelly and Piper Phillips have proven once again they are amongst the state’s finest juniors.

The two swimmers got their chance to mix it with the best in the State at the recent NSW Junior State Age Swimming Championships at Homebush.

The State Championships is for male athletes under 13, and female athletes under 12.

Pengelly had an exceptional state championship earning himself two silver medals in the 50m and 100m backstroke.

His 50m backstroke silver medal follows his Silver Medal at the NSW Speedo Sprint Series 3 weeks prior.

His success in the pool wasn’t just limited to the two backstroke events, he also earned 2 top 10 finalist placings in both the 400 free (8th) and 200 backstroke

(5th) and a haul of personal bests in his other events.

Piper Phillips also achieved some amazing results earning 3 top 10 final placings in her 400m freestyle (5th), 200m freestyle (9th) and 200m backstroke (7th).

The pair will now stay in Sydney over the coming days to compete at their relative school system State Carnivals, before heading back to Coffs in preparation for their short course swimming season.

Needing to defend 190 and with the Premier League title on the line, Sawtell’s bowlers rose to the occasion to dismiss the Rebels for 156.

Trent Dierick backed up his efforts with the bat taking 3/57 from his 21 overs.

Woolgoolga Fun Runs Results

By Steel BEVERIDGE AFTER their Covid interlude the Woolgoolga Fun Runs were back on Easter Saturday and Sunday at Woolgoolga for the 39th time.

While floods had caused the moving of the Forest Footrace to drier country the Seaside Scamper, Beach Bash and Tiny Tot Trot went ahead on and around the foreshore.

It was the familiar faces to the fore in the Forest Footrace with Isaiah Koopmans and Clare Palmer claiming their third victory each in the event.

Both had arrived at the start in a less than average manner with Koopmans cycling to the start from Woolgoolga and Palmer running in from Glenreagh.

Both did get lifts home.

The numbers for the Sunday runs grew like Topsy with the start delayed while entries flowed in.

Ben Burridge and Georgia Kuchel added their names to the winners lists for the 5 kms Seaside Scamper while Tom Putter and Amber Hundle finished first in the Beach Bash.

With over 150 runners participating across the four races the organisers from Woolgoolga Athletic Club look forward to the 40th year in 2022 with increased optimism.

Ever Heard Of A Sacrificial Anode?

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.

THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE – Solar, Electric, Gas or Heat Pumps.

FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in your area free of charge.

“REMEMBER, YOU CAN’T LOSE. NO ANODE REPLACEMENT, NO CHARGE” Comes with a 5 year warranty Make your Hot Water System last for 30 years without replacement.

Original Anode
