THE State Government is delivering on its election commitment for additional paramedics, with 125 additional paramedics set to arrive in regional, rural and remote communities across New South Wales by the middle of 2024. The first cohort are set to begin their sixweek induction programs this month. Port Macquarie, South West Rocks, Lismore and Ballina are the North Coast locations proposed to receive additional paramedics. NSW Ambulance will consult with the Health Services Union and local staff about the proposed locations. NSW Ambulance Chief Executive Dr
Dominic Morgan said the new paramedics would “boost NSW Ambulance’s capacity to provide high quality care to patients across NSW”. “I look forward to welcoming these new paramedics to NSW Ambulance, where they will be able to build upon their skills learned in training to help their local communities. “We have completed service demand and
workforce planning to determine where these important roles will be allocated in regional and rural NSW.” Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park said the government’s focus was to retain existing paramedics while delivering a “critical increase in paramedic numbers where they are needed most”. “We know that regional, rural and remote communities are grappling
with significant workforce shortages, but we are focused on boosting, recruiting and retaining more health workers,” he said. The NSW Government will continue to roll out the full additional 500 paramedics over a four year period. The recruitment of additional health workers follows the announcement of a long-awaited pay increase for paramedics in December.

Timber industry buoyed by court ruling on Regional Forest Agreements dismissed a legal challenge to the North East NSW Regional Forest Agreement (RFA) that allows logging in northeastern NSW native forests. The North East RFA covers the coastal area between Sydney and the Queensland border, and exempts logging from federal environmental assessment under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The case was brought by the North East Forest Alliance (NEFA) against the Commonwealth of Australia and the State of NSW in the first ever legal challenge to a Regional Forest Agreement in NSW. NEFA lawyers argued that, when the RFA was renewed in 2018 for another 20 years, the Commonwealth did not assess climate change, endangered species or old-growth forests as it was required to. Justice Perry dismissed those arguments, finding that such an assessment was not required, and in any event had occurred. Dr Michelle Freeman,
the President of Forestry Australia, welcomed the decision. “Common sense has prevailed today, and native forestry can have a strong future in Australia,” Dr Freeman said. “Our Regional Forest Agreements time and time again have proven to be a successful way of sustainably managing Australia’s forests for all their values, and the Federal Court has confirmed this today. “Our forestry industry, its workers, families and communities that depend on it, can now move on with certainty in their future.” Member for Oxley Michael Kemp also welcomed the judgement, citing it as evidence that “hardwood timber can coexist within the parameters of conservation”. “New South Wales forestry operations follow some of the strictest regulations and environmental standards across the world,” Mr Kemp said. Mr. Kemp said that, of 20 million hectares of State Forest, only 30,000 hectares are available for selective harvesting, equating to less

than 0.1 percent or just fourteen in 10,000 trees. Timber NSW Chairman Andrew Hurford said, “The NSW timber industry not only supports thousands of jobs and contributes billions of dollars to our economy, but its continued operation is vital to shield NSW residents from further cost blowouts in housing, home renovation, energy, transport and consumer goods. “Power poles, pallets, railway sleepers, flooring, decking, cladding, ferry wharves – without an available supply of locally sourced timber all these products would have to be imported.” NEFA President Dailan Pugh was disappointed with the result. “The decision to not require a new assessment put at risk the survival of a multitude of species that have rapidly declined since 1997, including many nationally threatened species that are not adequately protected under NSW’s logging rules and are being significantly impacted.” Greens MP and spokesperson for the environment Sue Higginson

PUBLIC PESTICIDE NOTIFICATION 2024 Council will be conducting weed control activities on roads, reserves, laneways, pathways, drains, public and Crown reserves under Council’s management on a quarterly basis scheduled throughout 2024 in the following areas: Nambucca Heads, Scotts Head, Valla Beach, Eungai Rail, Eungai Creek, Allgomera, Warrell Creek, Macksville, Gumma, Congarinni, Talarm, Utungun, Taylors Arm, Bowraville, South Arm, North Arm, Upper and Lower Buckrabendinni, Missabotti, Kennaicle Creek, Valla Rural and North Macksville. An extensive weed control program will be performed on the Council owned or managed road reserve system, targeting weedy grass species including Giant Rats Tail and Coolatai Grass and woody weeds including Lantana and Privet. Herbicide application may be performed at any time, throughout the day or night, when weather conditions are suitable. Bindiis and other broadleaf weeds will also be targeted within reserves and sporting fields, throughout all townships of the Nambucca Valley Council. The herbicides used will be those registered for use on the particular plants being controlled. The program may be altered without notice dependent upon weather and plant conditions. Signs stating “Weed Spraying in Progress” will be displayed when actual spraying is being undertaken. ENQUIRIES TO: Green Space Coordinator 0417 271 378.

said, “The decision by the court, that native forest logging is technically lawful, is a devastating blow for our forests but should not be mistaken for an endorsement of native forest logging and should rather be seen as a warning shot to the NSW and Commonwealth Governments that native forest logging must be reviewed urgently and ended as soon as possible. “The court confirmed that in no uncertain terms,
this matter is wholly political. “The finding by the Federal Court may be technically correct under a strict assessment of the lawful requirements, but it confirms what experts and reviews are consistently saying, that our federal environmental laws are outdated and ineffective and represent political failure.” Managing Lawyer at the Environmental Defenders Office, Andrew Kwan, said without legal reform
native forest logging “will continue to be exempt from Commonwealth environmental assessment for at least another 20 years”. “This could have devastating consequences for wildlife and forests,” he said. “It is vital that our remaining native forests are properly protected by a reformed federal legal framework that includes strong national oversight.”

Lock the Nambucca Valley requests cancellation of exploration licence By Ned COWIE LOCK the Nambucca Valley (LNV) has applied to the NSW Resources Regulator requesting the cancellation of a mining exploration licence. Exploration Licence 9235 pertains to an area of the Nambucca Valley including parts of Taylor’s Arm and South Arm and is held by Summit Minerals. LNV, who claim Summit Minerals did not follow government guidelines for community consultation, are now calling for the licence to be cancelled. In a letter emailed on 27 December, LNV outlined its reasons for requesting a licence cancellation. The group is currently awaiting an official response in the matter. LNV held a large public meeting in November 2023 where group members, as well as Summit Minerals representatives, spoke in regards to the exploration
licence. Since then, a Summit Minerals representative, in a telephone call to a LNV member, reportedly explained that the company had decided not to carry out any mining activities with respect to this licence and so would not be following up on any community concerns as discussed at the November meeting. “They told us they had decided to cease activity on the mining licence and we saw on the ASX website that Summit Minerals were actively seeking divestment opportunities for this project,” spokesperson Georgette Allen told News Of The Area. “On 2 December we held another meeting and resolved to write to the NSW Resources Regulator seeking a cancellation and that’s what we’ve done now,” said Georgette. According to LNV, Summit Minerals displayed no commitment to consult with the Nambucca or Macleay Valley communities, a
requirement of government guidelines for exploration licence holders in NSW. The group claims that Summit Minerals attempted no community engagement before sending out
Exploration Access Forms to property owners and that at the November meeting, Summit’s community liaison representatives appeared uninformed about the
mining company’s intentions regarding this licence. “Since these representatives never followed up on the community’s concerns put to them on 14 November,
media@newsofthearea.com.au Summit is clearly in breach of the required community consultation practices and our letter sought to have the whole exploration licence cancelled rather than put the community through the threat of mining activities for another four and a half years,” said Georgette. Summit Minerals could not be contacted for comment.

Daughter issues desperate plea for information on missing father
q Leslie Wayne Keating has been missing since October.
By Doug CONNOR THE heartbroken daughter of a man missing from a rural Clarence Valley property is urgently calling on the public to come forward with information about her father’s whereabouts. Leslie Wayne Keating, who turned 64 on Boxing Day, was last seen at a rural property on Ramornie Station Road, Ramornie, about 25 kilometres north-west of Grafton, at about 2.30pm on Friday 20 October 2023. “He was dropped off by a taxi to his property on the afternoon of 20 October,” said Storm Keating, Mr Keating’s daughter. “Later that afternoon he had a phone call. “That was the last anyone heard from him.” Mr Keating was officially reported as a missing person on 12 November after his two daughters, living abroad and out-of-state, requested police conduct a welfare check at the property. Due to the property’s remote location and limited
reception, it was not unusual for Mr Keating to be out of contact for extended periods. “The welfare check showed that he wasn’t there, and both of his dogs were found deceased in a state of decay on the property,” Ms Keating said. Police and emergency services then mobilised to complete extensive searches of the area surrounding the property. “The police initially did a line search after the welfare check, then a ground search with police and SES volunteers,” Ms Keating said. “They had a cadaver dog come out to the property as well. “They then did a second ground search with a unit which specialises in rough terrain and bushy areas. “They have also done a helicopter search and a search of the rivers and the waterways in the area.” With search options exhausted, Ms Keating said the family and police are now reliant on information coming in from the public. “The police have said they can’t physically search anymore,” she said. While numerous false sightings have been recorded,
q Leslie Wayne Keating pictured with his daughter Storm. no firm leads have arisen as to Mr Keating’s location. With her father last seen almost three months ago, Ms Keating remains convinced he would not have left the property by his own free will, or without his dogs. “My dad, on three separate occasions, has discharged himself from hospital against doctors’ wishes to go home to his animals,” she said. “He never would have left them to suffer but they both died of dehydration.” Mr Keating was known to frequent the Grafton and South Grafton areas.
“He was a very routine man. “He generally went into town once a week, always on the day he got paid his disability pension.” For now, the family’s search continues, with Ms Keating, who was living with her partner in Ireland at the time of the disappearance, now living locally in a tent while she pursues leads as to her father’s whereabouts. Ms Keating described her father as the “strongest person I know” and “tough as nails but sensitive”. “It has been incredibly
difficult emotionally, especially with Christmas and then his birthday on Boxing Day. “We have never gone a Boxing Day without speaking to him.” She offered an impassioned plea to the community to come forward with any leads. “If anyone does have any information, even if they think it is insignificant, please contact the police. “Any small piece of information can lead to us finding him. “We are heartbroken without him. “It is the not knowing that
is the hardest part.” A NSW Police spokesperson told News Of The Area the investigation is ongoing. “Several coordinated land/air/water searches have been undertaken with assistance from Marine Area Command, Polair, Dog Unit, Specialist Trained NSW Police Trail Bike officers and NSW SES; however, Leslie remains outstanding,” they said. “Anyone with information about Leslie’s whereabouts is urged to contact Grafton Detectives or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”
by a Forestry Corporation employee. Following the assault, neither of the contracted forestry workers were initially charged. Instead, Mr Graham was charged by Coffs Harbour Police. “The initial investigation into these assaults resulted in the charging of one of the victims,” Greens MP and spokesperson for the environment Sue Higginson said. “The fact that Mr Graham was charged for a crime when he was a victim of what the
Magistrate described as a violent assault on a public road, in a public forest, and it was captured on video, can only be described as a wilful miscarriage of justice.” Ms Higginson described the video evidence as “confronting and unambiguous”. “Two members of the community, who are acting in a friendly and non-threatening manner, are approached by two agitated and hostile forestry workers who then proceed to assault them, demand their personal property and shout threatening abuse at them. “It is deeply disturbing
and disappointing that it has taken more than three and a half years for these assaults to be resolved, especially considering they were captured on camera. “Today’s judgement is well overdue and is the end of a harrowing experience for the two victims, Mark Graham and Andre Johnston.” Mr Graham said the long saga has taken an emotional and financial toll. He thanked Ms Higginson and Eddie Lloyd for their legal support and expressed relief that the issue is now resolved.

Cost-of-living hits hard as grocery prices continue to rise
Contact Us Today for Inclusion into this Paper Shannon Sullivan 0409 228 267 shannon@newsofthearea.com.au
SHOPPERS are continuing to feel the pinch at the supermarket checkout amid the worsening cost-of-living crisis, with new data from Compare the Market showing that the price of common groceries has jumped more than 40 percent since 2021. Some of the biggest price hikes of the items analysed were mixed vegetables (54 percent), Australian brushed potatoes (53 percent), peppermint tea bags (50 percent), baked beans (40 percent) and toilet cleaner (40 percent). Compare the Market’s Chris Ford said any price hike would impact Australian families who are already doing it tough. “A price increase of a few dollars here and there may not seem like much, but it can have a significant impact on the weekly budget – especially if you’re doing a big grocery shop,” Mr Ford said. “We know that the big supermarkets are trying to lure in customers by locking in or dropping prices, but our analysis shows that many of the essentials we shop for each week have actually increased since last year. “In a time where we’re seeing energy bills skyrocket, feeling pain at the petrol bowser and seeing insurance premiums rise, the last thing we want is for Australians to be forking out more than they need to on everyday items they need. “There’s currently an olive oil shortage due to fires and droughts in Europe, which could be why we’re seeing a 100 percent price increase since 2021 for particular products.” It appears no shopping aisle was exempt from inflation, with breakfast cereals, pet food, potato chips, coffee, deli meats, soft drinks, cleaning items and cheese now costing Australians more than it did in 2021.

The price of Bega Tasty Cheese Block has jumped $2.50 (31 percent), Red Rock Deli Sea Salt chips are up 35 percent, while a ten-pack of Coca-Cola 375ml has seen a 32 percent increase. Last week, the Federal Government announced the appointment of Dr Craig Emerson to lead a 2023–24 review of the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct to ensure that the supermarket sector is working as it should. Prescribed under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, Aldi, Coles, Woolworths and Metcash are signatories to the Code and are bound by it. The Code was introduced to improve standards of business behaviour in the food and grocery sector. The Code regulates the conduct of these retailers and wholesalers towards suppliers. “If the price for meat and fruit and vegetables is going down at the farm gate then families should be seeing cheaper prices on supermarket shelves too,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said. “Supermarkets have a duty to make sure they’re providing affordable options
for all Australians, especially when they’re making savings on their own costs. “If there are further steps that are needed then the Government will not hesitate to take action.” Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the Government expects all companies to treat Australian consumers fairly. “As a Government we’re taking a fresh look at the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct to make sure the sector is giving consumers and suppliers a fair deal,” Mr Chalmers said. “When the price of meat and fruit and veggies comes down for supermarkets, it should come down for families as well – it’s a big chance for the big supermarkets to do the right thing.” Mr Chalmers also indicated that he had been in “ongoing discussions” with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) on further monitoring of grocery prices. “We want to make sure that we've got downward pressure on these prices,” Mr Chalmers said. “We want to unleash the power of competition. “That often begins with a robust monitoring regime
and also the right kinds of codes.” On Tuesday morning, the Prime Minister said ACCC Chairwoman Gina CassGottlieb is “carefully looking at potential litigation and is saying in a very clear warning that that's an option that's open to the ACCC”. Nationals leader David Littleproud said his party had been calling for the ACCC to investigate supermarkets since November. “Under section 95, the Treasurer has the legislated power to direct the ACCC and give it strong powers to compel witnesses and recommend harsher penalties,” Mr Littleproud said. “The Nationals wanted this investigation urgently before Christmas but Labor is simply too slow to take action. “They are only now realising these powers exist, but promised Australians the two inquiries they announced would yield results. “We need an inquiry into disparities between farmgate and retail food pricing. “The ACCC has the powers to properly investigate as part of a dedicated inquiry to ensure fairness for farmers and consumers and it’s baffling it has taken the government so long to realise.”

Local protesters call for Gaza ceasefire MEMBERS of the Bellingen and Nambucca District Rural Australians for Refugees group held a roadside demonstration in Bellingen last week to draw attention to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Demonstrators held placards demanding a ceasefire and an end to the “Gaza genocide”. “The events of 7 October were truly terrible, but, as the Secretary General of the United Nations reminded us, the Hamas attack did not take place in a vacuum,” said group spokesperson Mike Griffin of Valla Beach. “The Gaza Strip has been blockaded by the Israelis for sixteen years, and there have been four major incursions by the Israeli military during
that period, resulting in the deaths of thousands of Palestinians. “What is happening now in the Gaza Strip is not a war of self defence. “The Israeli military have razed much of Gaza to the ground and have destroyed hospitals, schools, United Nations evacuation centres, churches, mosques and all essential infrastructure.” Foreign Minister Penny Wong travelled to the Middle East this week to “support international diplomatic efforts towards a durable peace” in the region. “One hundred days since the October 7 terror attacks, I will use Australia's voice to advocate for a pathway out of the current conflict, an increase in vital
STUDENTS enrolled in healthcare degrees in NSW can now apply for up to $12,000 in subsidies to support them in their studies. 850 nursing students, 400 medical students and 150 midwifery students are expected to enter the subsidy program each year. Subsidies are also available for students of paramedicine, Aboriginal health, dentistry and oral health therapy, psychology, pharmacy, physiotherapy and medical physics. It is estimated the subsidies will support around one third of health worker graduates over the next three years.
Students successful in their application and beginning their degrees will receive subsidies of $4,000 per year over three years. Existing students will receive one-off payments of $8,000 after acceptance of employment for a position within NSW Health. There are a limited number of subsidies available, and applications will remain open until all subsidies are awarded. Students must be willing to make a five-year commitment to working in the NSW public health system. “Up to 4,000 subsidies are now on offer for this year for health degrees including

nursing, midwifery, medicine, paramedicine, allied health and health science,” Minister for Health Ryan Park said. “By supporting students’ health studies and transition into the NSW Health workforce, this program is one of the many initiatives this government is rolling out to support staff and increase the workforce across the public health system. “We are committed to building a more engaged, capable and supported workforce.” The full list of eligible workforce groups and locations are available at w w w. h e a l t h . n sw. g ov. a u / careers/Pages/health-studysubsidies.aspx

Blokes bare it all for mental health
By Mick BIRTLES
FOR the second year in a row a number of local lads of varying shapes and sizes have got their gear off to appear in a sometimes humorous and generally tasteful calendar to raise funds in support of people dealing with mental health issues. Mentally Healthy Nambucca Valley has teamed up with Lifetime Connect on this innovative project that is intended to help lessen the financial burden that often hinders individuals who seek treatment for mental health issues. The driving force behind Mentally Healthy Nambucca Valley is the owner/operator
of North Macksville’s Quick Stop Barber Shop, Ashleigh Greaves, and the proprietor of the award winning OutaMedia company, Matt Baker. This dynamic duo teamed up a couple of years ago, determined to make a positive impact in support of those dealing with mental health concerns in the Nambucca Valley. The inaugural Mentally Healthy Nambucca Valley Calendar for 2023 attracted attention with well known local blokes bearing it all for a bit of fun while supporting a good cause. “We were undecided about producing a calendar for 2024, however so many
locals said that they were looking forward to the 2024 edition we just had to do it again,” Ashleigh Greaves told News Of The Area. “It is more than just being able to provide immediate financial aid, it is also about raising awareness and fostering a supportive environment for those struggling with mental health issues.” In addition to Lifetime Connect partnering this venture, in true Nambucca Valley style a number of local businesses are sponsoring the production of the calendar. L.O Water Haulage, Midcoast Trucks, Midcoast Vets, James Freight Services,
Solitude Health, Lindsey’s Roof Restoration and Pressure Cleaning, The Little Plant Shop, and Magical Moments Nambucca Valley are all generously supporting this initiative. “The calendars are $20 and a great fun way to check out some of the Valley’s hunks while supporting a great cause,” Ashleigh said. “You can purchase your copy from Quick Stop Barber Shop, Solitude Health, Ben and Lenny’s Cafe Macksville, the Bridge Street Cafe Macksville, Elk on 38, Lucy Fru Fru, the Nambucca Bowling Club, Mid Coast Vets, Valley Blue, Local Liquor Nambucca Heads and online through Farm to Freezer.”

Register now for Clean Up Australia Day AS we continue to tackle our national waste challenges and protect our environment, Clean Up Australia is calling on all Australians to join with their local communities and take more immediate action by registering now for Clean Up Australia Day 2024 to be held on Sunday March 3. In 2023, over 760,000 Australians pulled on their gloves and gathered for the iconic Clean Up Australia Day.
On March 3, 2024, Clean Up Australia is hoping to see a similar, if not better response, as generations come together to help tidy our local communities while seeing first-hand why we need to work together to prevent litter from entering our environment in the first place. “Clean Up Australia Day is the largest volunteer clean up event across the nation
each year and the most practical way to educate and demonstrate waste prevention,” Pip Kiernan, Chair of Clean Up Australia said. “By rolling up our sleeves and witnessing the sheer quantity as well as the common types of litter lining our streets, bushlands, and waterways, we can gain a better insight into our own personal or
household footprints on the environment. “It encourages each of us to consider practical ways we can prevent that litter in the first place. “Vapes, cigarette butts, coffee cups and soft plastics are amongst the commonly reported items collected by volunteers who are encouraged at each site to report their findings, but you can’t help but be shocked by

Registrations for Clean Up Australia Day 2024 are now open. All volunteers receive a free Clean Up kit, containing gloves and bags and other resources, with packs for individuals, families and community groups available (businesses are asked to pay a small fee to cover costs). “We are always excited for new community members to join us who are yet to see what makes Clean Up Australia Day such a rewarding experience and why each year our community members keep coming back for more.
“It is such a special time to come together to care for and protect our environment for future generations,” Pip said. If you are unable to participate, donations to Clean Up Australia are welcomed, with 100 percent of funds raised going directly to empowering Australians to take positive action for the environment and providing Clean Up kits.

By Aiden BURGESS
VALLEYS Cricket Club have continued their fantastic season with a 76-run win against the Nana Glen Lizards, as Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s season resumed after their Christmas/New Years break. The win saw Valleys Cricket continue their unbeaten start to the season with their eighth straight win. Nana Glen won the toss and elected to bowl in their one-day match at Fitzroy Oval.

DEAR Jasminda,
Will contested on mental health grounds MAL was an eccentric millionaire and later in life he was well known for bouts of mental instability. Mal died and his will left the bulk of his estate to two of his three children. Ronny was given a comparably very small amount due to his vengeful relationship with his father. Ronny, not happy, challenged the will, alleging that his father lacked the mental capacity to make sound decisions regarding his large estate. Ronny’s legal argument hinged on Mal’s well-documented mental health history, alleging to the Court that his father was of unsound mind at the time the will was drafted. To determine capacity the Court outlined a long held common law doctrine that is set out in a four-part test. Firstly, the court examined whether Mal understood the nature of the act of writing a will and its effects. Evidence showed that he had lucidly discussed his intentions with his solicitor on many occasions prior to making his will, thereby demonstrating his comprehension of the act. Secondly, Mal's awareness of the extent of his property was scrutinized. Detailed solicitors’ notes and Mal’s personal financial records revealed his intimate knowledge of his holdings, thereby satisfying the second criterion. The third part of the test checked whether Mal could comprehend and appreciate the claims he ought to give effect to. Mal provided the bulk of his estate for his two children that remained close and who were succeeding his business, showing his understanding of his moral obligations. Lastly, the court looked for any disorder of the mind that might have poisoned his affections, perverted his sense of right, or prevented the exercise of his natural faculties. The medical examinations and expert testimonials presented showed no evidence of such an impairment at the time the will was made. The Court concluded that Mal had the requisite mental capacity when he made his will. Thank you to Anthony Fogarty for his assistance with this column.

Inconvenient truths
DEAR News Of The Area,
THIS year is the 75th Anniversay of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention), established by the UN General Assembly on 9 December 1948, ratified by members including Australia in 1949, and coming into effect in 1951. Naturally enough most of the participating countries back then only saw the relevance of the convention to the Nazi treatment of the Jewish peoples, with our then Federal opposition leader Robert Menzies making the incredulous claim that genocide “could never happen here” and “hasten[ed] to say that persecution of that kind has never been tolerated in Australia”. It is probably not surprising then that it took another 50 years before the Australian government actually saw the need to incorporate ‘genocide’ as a potential punishable offence into Australian criminal law. That was partly because it was pointed out in the late 1980s that we possibly harboured some Nazi war criminals. Perhaps more embarrassing
was a report by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission in 1997 which found that the removal of Indigenous children from their families in the period between 1910 and 1970 had constituted genocide as defined in the Convention (HREOC 1997). In 2002 the Federal Government finally incorporated the act of ‘genocide’ into criminal law, making sure it included provisions designed to reduce the possibility of any retrospective claim by victims. One of the common arguments when inconvenient historical issues are discussed is that we cannot judge them by modern standards. However, historical records show the genocide of the original Australians was called out by a handful of conscientious individuals at the time and they were conveniently ignored or ridiculed. As a nation we have also been highly selective in our response to genocide around the globe and some would say have been less than upright in our dealings with refugees. The current atrocities in Israel
My friend phones me when he is on his commute home. I feel as though he only wants to speak with me to make the time go more quickly. Meanwhile, I have to stop what I'm doing to listen. I can tell he's driving because of all the background noise. Dennis W. Dear Dennis, There are quite a few situations where phone calls can be irritating at best. When you receive a call, it's important that both the caller and receiver give each other their undivided attention, otherwise things can get lost in translation. Communicating effectively
can be extremely difficult when one person is listening attentively and the other is navigating traffic and entering mobile reception black spots, all while trying to have a conversation. I'd simply suggest to your friend that while you appreciate hearing from him, you can't hear a lot of the conversation because of all the background noise. Alternatively, the next time you chat, just hang up after five minutes and blame it on bad reception. If he still doesn't get the message, do household chores while he talks. Great options include vacuuming, unpacking the dishwasher, or re-nailing the back deck. At least that way you're not wasting your time. When he can't hear you either, the shine will soon wear off and he'll hopefully take up listening to podcasts or music instead. Carpe diem, Jasminda
and Gaza have shown that ‘genocide’ is happening live – here and now in 2024, and yet sections of our community are still having ‘difficulty’ calling it for what it is. There are historical reasons for this of course, apart from our discomfort with past inconsistencies. We not only share strong political alliances with Israel but also military complicity. US intelligence gathering at Australian bases such as Pine
Gap will almost certainly be providing live data for Israel’s strategic bombing of Gaza. Our Federal Government’s recent poor treatment of military war crimes 'whistleblower’ David McBride also reveals a Government and establishment still unable to deal with ‘inconvenient’ truths.
and drought due to climate change. If our state and federal politicians were listening to the voting public, they would know that a top priority for our environment, and the preservation of our forests and wildlife, is the immediate end of native forest logging! The outdated economical argument of job preservation and
the importance to preservation of local towns no longer holds true. These timber industries are operating at a loss, are unsustainable, and more income can be achieved from tourism, especially if the existing forests and wildlife are preserved. This is not an argument to be
voted on by lawyers, instead listen to the people who care. Common sense must prevail! Too much has already been lost.
of any connections to disunity, disharmony, division or associations with suffering for any of the groups that make up the nation. It is clear that 26 January does not meet these requirements. Since at least 1938 that date has been seen as a day of mourning
for many descendants of those Australians who inhabited this land before 1788. If we continue with that particular date, even if a majority want to, then Australia Day will always fail to be what it is intended to be.
Regards, Dave WOOD.
An unbelievable decision on native forests DEAR News Of The Area,
IT is unbelievable that the courts have ruled in favour of the continued destruction and clear felling of our old growth native forests! This is despite Australia’s record extinction of our precious native wildlife due to loss of habitat, food source and threats of bushfires, floods
A day for unity and harmony DEAR News Of The Area,
THE ideal concept of Australia Day is that it is a day of unity and harmony that celebrates our land and the best of our culture. It follows that the date chosen for this celebration needs to be free
Regards, Ziggy KOENIGSEDER
There is a good case to change to a date in May associated with the true beginning of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901 – an occasion free of negative associations.
Excitement builds as Coffs prepares to welcome legends town we are in.” Gates will open at 5pm and the music starts at 6pm with Mal Eastick. Brian and Glenn will then play with the Little Steely Band and Russell his own band. The concert is expected to finish around 9.45pm. Special traffic provisions will be in place in and around the Gardens, with no right turn into Hardacre St from 5pm. After the event, there will be no left turn coming out of Hardacre St. “After consultation with Police, we
have put these simple plans in place to minimise disruption,” John said. “We also encourage people to park away from the site and where possible walk to the Gardens; there is a generous drop off zone at the front gate so those with any mobility problems can be dropped off right out front.” Tickets are available at trybooking. com, with organisers reminding the community to only purchase from the one accredited agency to avoid scams. If unsure, call the JLE office on 66 528266.

Macksville Country Club Golf By Max TURNER
THE Don Forrester sponsored Single Stableford attracted a good field with early starters out to beat the heat. By 8am Johnathon Zirkler's group were on the 8th where he aced the par 3, with a hole in one the first on the new layout. Later Paul Donges and Dane Luffman eagled the par 5 sixteenth - nearly as good. With 42 points you would expect to be a winner - not so for Matt
Baker who was beaten on a count back (most points on the last thee holes) by Darren Pike. Best of the ladies was Cheryl Fortescue who had a net par round of 36. Straight shooters were Steve Ellis (A) and Mick O'Brien (B), with nobody able to hit the green in C grade. Johnathon Zirkler didn't record his hole-in-one for NTP. The Mid Week Competition was won by Jordan Welsh, who came in ahead of uncle Brad Fortescue with
Jack Ireland second runner up. The Chook Run was won by Darren Pike (two wins in the week) this time by a toss of the coin as he and Rod Curtis couldn't be separated on a count back. On the 20th the Bernard Laverty Memorial Stableford sponsored by David and Melissa Walker will be played. This event includes a mystery 4 ball aggregate where at the end of the day cards are shuffled and players are paired off. Like a raffle, some get lucky.
(13) from Coffs Harbour, then Ross Donnelly (8) from Macksville 37 points. In Division 2 (16 to 22), the winner was Brad Nesbitt (16) from Bellingen with 39 points on c/b from Robert Alexander (20) from Coffs Harbour, then John Buganey (22) from Nambucca with 38 points, then Michael Bellew (22) from Dorrigo on 34 points. Division 3 (23 to 45) winner was Colin Hoskins (26) from Bellingen with 40 points from Richard Martin (30) from Nambucca with 37 points, then Nambucca’s Vets Delegate Raymond Guiana (26) on 36 points and Stephen Currie (31) from Sawtell on 34 points. The Ball Rundown to 32 points. NTP’s to
Robert Alexander (Coffs Harbour) on 5, Robert Peel (Coffs Harbour) on 8, John Buganey (Nambucca) on 13 and Matthew Lark (Coffs Harbour) on 18. The Ladies played their 9 Hole Summer Stableford competition on the front 9 on Wednesday when Fiona Chaffey (35) won with 17 points on c/b from Linda Piccin (33). Good scores from Jennifer Johnston, Jennifer Ainsworth & Marilyn McNally all with 16 points in the Ball Rundown. Another very hot and humid day for Thursday’s Medley Stableford didn’t deter a good field of over 100 players. Graham Long (9) revelled
Nambucca Heads Island Golf Club By Geoffrey McCANN
VERY warm and humid weather – great for golf, and the 19th was a welcome relief for many players! Some King Tides made access across the flooded causeway an interesting experience for some. This week’s featured sponsor was North Coast Boating Centre, Urunga – thank you! We hosted 86 players from the Mid North Coast Vets on Tuesday for a Medley Stableford. Division 1 ( 0 to 15) winner was Stephen McNeil (13) from Nambucca with 40 points from Nick Jenkins (12) from Bellingen 38 on c/b from Colin Cutt
Second junior cricket seasons of the summer to start after school holidays
By Aiden BURGESS
COFFS Harbour District Cricket Association is calling on juniors to come and play cricket when school resumes, as they take the unique approach to split the summer season in two. Both the Under 12s and Under 10s second season of the summer gets underway in early February. The Under 12s new season gets underway on Saturday, 3 February, with the Under 10s getting underway on Thursday, 8 February. Under 12s matches are played on Saturday mornings, with Under 10s matches played on Thursday nights. Bellingen/Dorrigo won the first Under 12s season of the summer, beating Diggers Cricket Club in the grand final. David Horseman, Competition Coordinator - Mid North Coast, encouraged juniors to come and
play cricket after the school holidays. “Essentially, we would like to build on the momentum of the recent Big Bash League, and try to get more players across our 10s and 12s age groups,” he said. “The competition starts in February when school goes back, and we want to encourage as many kids as possible to come and play the second half of the season. “We have split these two age groups into two seasons to allow for more people to join.” Horseman explained the move to split the summer into two seasons. “Basically, because you want kids who have been watching cricket in the school holidays to come and play,” he said. “We are trying to see if that gets any interest, and keep that momentum of the Big Bash League going and build on that interest. “The Under 12s and Under 10s are important age groups, as we are missing numbers in the Under 16s due to the COVID years, so we need to rebuild. “By splitting the competition, we are trying something different, and it’s the first time we’ve split the season so we’re trialling it to see how it goes.” Horseman explained why juniors should give cricket a crack. “It’s a great team sport you can play with your mates and learn new skills, and you can create lifelong friends in this sport,” he said.

PET OF THE MONTH
Following the March 2021, February 2022 and June 2022 severe storms and flooding, the Nambucca Valley Local Government Area (LGA) received Natural Disaster Declarations resulting in the State and Commonwealth providing funding support to help with the cost of cleaning up and restoring damaged road and essential public assets.
www.nambucca.nsw.gov.au
The majority of Council’s road network has been impacted to some extent, which has resulted in an unprecedented amount of repairs to undertake. Council is aware there are numerous potholes, corrugations and gravel loss on some roads.
Proudly brought to you by News Of The Area and Nambucca Valley Council
• Council has recorded 67 significant landslip events that will require remediation through the LGA, with an estimated repair cost in the order of $40million and further information is available on landslip damages via an interactive map located on Council’s website by following the Disaster Recovery link. • Since the March 2021 flooding, the damage bill to date has been in excess of $4.4million predominately directed toward our emergency relief works on the road network. These works are still on-going.

BEAUTIFUL LAKES OF NORTHERN ITALY
SBS, 8.40pm
Ditch the travel agency and tune into this immersive travelogue. It only seems appropriate to pour yourself your drink of choice and settle into a half-awake reverie as you relax into the glorious scenery. There’s quaint towns clinging to hills above turquoise water, velvety green mountains and medieval stone hamlets as well as smiling locals whipping up cheese and boats lolling about in the bay. The beauty of Northern Italy is on display, and after settling in for two immersive episodes, beginning tonight, you may mistakenly believe you have actually set foot in the stunning region. Tonight’s lush, light-filled exploration traverses Lake Maggiore to Lake Como.
Almost a century after the Australian Museum commissioned three life-like statues of Aboriginal people that were exhibited, half-naked and nameless, as evidence of what the national census declared “a dying race”, the family of Ngarigo woman Nanny Nellie Bungil Walker are taking steps to reclaim her identity and tell her story. Award-winning filmmaker Daniel King is behind this striking feature, as he documents his mother Aunty Irene Ridgeway’s efforts to honour her greatgrandmother. Irene’s profoundly personal journey begins by finding the descendants of the other sculptures, before retracing Nellie’s life story in a healing show of inner strength.

Even if you only have a passing interest in Paul McCartney and The Beatles, this six-part miniseries makes for compulsory viewing. The music legend’s ongoing chat with famed producer Rick Rubin is a fascinating insight into the early days of the band, with this third episode focusing on their breakthrough in the American market, their time spent in India, as well as the band’s friendship with fellow icons Little Richard and Roy Orbison. It’s all interspersed with musical interludes where McCartney brilliantly breaks down the creation and recording of some classic Beatles tracks. While Fab Four fans will get the most out of this, it’s a must-see for all music lovers. 1901

Nambucca Valley Croquet Club By Wendy BIDEN
THE Nambucca Valley Croquet Club started play for the first time in 2024, on Saturday 13 January. More than half of the members showed up, excited to start a new year.
Friday, 19 January 2024
We played on the full court and one of the half courts. T There was much shouting and laughing and some great tactical moves. We also got one new player who had such a good morning, and has decided to become a member of our
club. If anyone is interested in learning a new game, we play Tuesday and Saturday mornings from 8.30, at the EJ Biffin fields, Fred Brain Avenue, Nambucca Heads. Contact Wendy on 0427620999 or Gary 0436288821.

By Andrea FERRARI A TOTAL of $14,000 raised through the 30th Elly Stig Memorial Golf Day on Sunday 7 January takes the event’s total contributions to the Children's Cancer Institute over three decades to an impressive $460,000. With 161 players attending the picturesque Nambucca Heads Island Golf Course for the event, there was an unprecedented level of enthusiasm during the charity auction, showcasing the true spirit of the Nambucca Valley. The annual event lies in the collaborative efforts of local businesses, whose generous donations and sponsorships make the Elly Stig Memorial Golf Day possible year after year. A notable highlight of this year's tournament was the inaugural putting competition, which quickly became a crowd favourite. The gripping three-
way playoff, ultimately won by Peter Scott, added an extra layer of excitement to an already thrilling day of golf. Acknowledging the importance of community involvement, organisers Ray Stig and Raelene Squires expressed their gratitude to the entire Nambucca Valley community. “Their unwavering support, showcased by the overwhelming attendance, illustrates the enduring impact the Elly Stig Memorial Golf Day has on the local populace,” Raelene told News Of The Area. Longest Drive winners were Doc Holliday, Butch Laverty, Linda Black and Robyn Jones. Nearest To The Pin champions were Hans Jansen, Beau Laverty, Tracy Brown and Tahlia Donovan.
