North Coast (RDAMNC) in significant numbers and with great passion and desperation about the state of childcare across the region. The surveys were a result of wide-ranging discussions over the past few months where concern was expressed by both employers and parents looking to return to work. RDAMNC conducted two surveys in September, one with childcare providers and another with parents in the region. Results indicate that 92 percent of responding families have children aged two years or under that require care. However, only 52 percent of providers accept babies under one year of age. Only 58 percent accept children that are one and 79 percent accept children that are two. 91 percent of families are on one or more waiting lists and 91 percent of providers have extensive waiting lists. 85 percent of parent respondents indicated that they want or need to work more hours than they are currently but are not able to access care. 68 percent of providers are willing to, or are currently, offering traineeships. 56 percent of providers currently require staff. 33 percent of providers have been recruiting to fill staff vacancies for over twelve months. Results also show that 25 percent of childcare providers are operating under capacity due to staff shortages. RDAMNC believe the results clearly highlight the need for urgent reform and investment in this sector. RDAMNC Chair Kieren Dell said the responses to this survey have been alarming and highlight the issues facing the sector.

“When there is a cost of living crisis and 85 percent of parents aren’t working the number of hours they need to, and 52 percent of parents haven’t been able to get any childcare at all, there are clearly some big issues that need addressing. “Not only that, given the region as a whole is suffering from a skills shortage, urgent solutions are needed in the childcare sector so parents can return to work.” RDAMNC CEO Madeleine Lawler said there is much work to be done and RDAMNC is only just at the beginning of their work in this sector. “The preliminary results really highlight just how tough it is for the childcare providers trying to operate in the current environment and for families who are struggling to find care and to make ends meet.” RDAMNC is currently undertaking an economic analysis of these results, conducting face-toface engagement with stakeholders including peak body organisations and government organisations. In addition to advocacy, workshops will be held early in the new year between relevant stakeholders to look at opportunities to relieve the

Nambucca Valley cattle prices reach ten year low FROM Page 1 Wednesday October 11. Across the east coast of Australia in recent months, cattle prices have dropped to under $2 per kilo on average and although there was a slight increase in prices at last Wednesday’s Macksville sales, prices overall remained low. According to Jessie, this reflects the anxiety farmers are feeling towards the approaching growing season amid a forecast of lower-

than-average rainfall. “It’s a case of supply and demand,” explained Jessie. “We need numbers of cattle for sale to drop before prices can rise.” There are some positive signs, however, as only 170 cattle passed through Macksville last Wednesday morning compared to 450 in the sales three weeks ago. This drop in numbers was similarly represented at larger east coast saleyards. For example, in Dubbo

numbers of cattle for sale in the most recent sales were down 60 percent. Jessie puts this down to farmers having a slightly more optimistic outlook due to recent rain both inland and along the east coast. According to Allan, a seasoned cattle farmer from Macksville, last fortnight’s sales saw some weaners go for 98 cents per kilogram, a heartbreaking price for cockies but a bargain for savvy buyers with pasture.

q A mix of buyers and cockies attended the sale at the Macksville Showground.

q Prices and volumes were low overall but condition was a determining factor in individual prices.

At last Wednesday’s sale, some weaners sold for $1.30 per kilogram, a rise of 30-40 cents a kilogram. There were quite a few local cockies watching the recent sales, weighing up their options and whether to sell in coming auctions. A small number of cows and calves went under the hammer for around $600. The highest price per

kilogram reached was for young steers, however this was usually under $2 per kilogram. Allan said individual pricing is also dependent on the condition of the cows so averages only tell half the story. One of the many flow-on effects from these conditions is that some abattoirs are booked out several months in

advance. One Coffs Harbour butcher blamed skill shortages across the board in the meat industry and said for farmers looking to sell cattle directly to consumers, in a paddock-to-plate style, this represents an extra challenge. “We simply have too much work and usually just aren’t able to take on more,” he said.

innovation and boost returns for the region. The Living Lab concept has been widely deployed across Europe and North America to accelerate collaborative innovation in complex ecosystems. According to Dr Dedehayir, CALL will be the first agrifood-focused Living Lab in Australia. “CALL will be an orchestrator of open

innovation processes driving the co-creation of food and beverage innovations,” Dr Dedehayir said. Fostering a sustainable, resilient local agrifood ecosystem lies at the heart of the Living Lab project, said the City’s project industry lead, Nicole McLennan. “We anticipate that the Coffs Agrifood Living Lab will not only facilitate innovation; it will serve as a

signal to stakeholders of the region’s progressiveness in terms of agrifood innovation and entrepreneurship,” Ms McLennan said. Guests interested in attending the CALL launch event on October 25 in Coffs Harbour can register via https://futurefoodsystems. us20.list-manage.com/track/ click?u=9c9ce2bc18e998def 123361d0&id=c238e87949& e=d5ada3d6fa.

Agrifood stakeholders drive collaboration and innovation representatives from within research and government. Guests at the launch event will receive an overview of CALL from project leader, Dr Ozgur Dedehayir from Queensland University of Technology (QUT), and hear from successful agrifood entrepreneurs, including Krista Watkins from thriving green-banana-flour venture Natural Evolution. The CALL project, led by Future Food Systems, in partnership with City of Coffs Harbour (the City) and QUT, will take place over a twoyear period and will build upon the findings of an initial collaboration between Future Food Systems, QUT and the

A weekend of going potty By Andrea FERRARI THE 2023 Australian Ceramics Open Studios comes to the Nambucca Valley on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 November, 10am through to 4pm. Australian Ceramics Open Studios (ACOS), hosted by the Australian Ceramics Association, is an annual, nationwide, weekend event that celebrates clay, community and creativity. Ceramic studios around Australia open their doors to offer a peek into their making with the opportunity to watch practical demonstrations and the chance to take home a handmade piece fresh from the kilns. New kids on the block, Matt and Megan Vicary-Begg, will open the doors to their Village Pottery Company on the corner of Valla Beach Road. The pair took over production from Southern Cross Pottery in mid-2023 and have built a reputation for producing beautiful and stylish water filters and various other matching pottery items. Open Studios participant Kelly Greenhalgh lives and works in Scotts Head and is the resident thrower for Village Pottery. Kelly studied a Bachelor of

Fine Art (ceramics) at RMIT in Melbourne. She will feature her own unique geometric inspired grid ware on Open Day. Lyn Walsh is a well-known and much-loved potter from Valla who specialises in the Raku firing process. Her whimsical face planters are quite a feature. A keen sharer of creative inspirations, Lyn initiated and still runs the yearly Valla Expressions Art Show each January. Open Studios visitors will have the opportunity to view the production of pottery, ask questions, have a go on the potter’s wheel and get their hands dirty while making a pinch pot with Kelly. Michaela Kloeckner has made a name for herself on the Coffs Coast with her oceaninspired functional ware and her unique artistic exhibition pieces. She recently received first prize for her piece, ‘Fragile’, in the ceramic section at the Nambucca Biennial Art Exhibition 2023. Visitors can watch her freshly fired kiln being unloaded and purchase a pot warm from the oven. Michaela invites visitors to relax with a cuppa while they watch throwing demonstrations throughout the day. There are opportunities

to hand-paint your own cup, which Michaela will glaze and fire for you. Erica Godwin is a ceramics graduate from TAFE College in Coffs Harbour. She lives and works in Bowraville and will showcase her unique work with Michaela at Nambucca Pole House Pottery, 10 Newman Street. Erica will guide participants to make their own origami pottery bowl. This is a free, public event. q Nambucca potter Michaela Kloeckner will be working and showing at Nambucca Pole House Pottery.

Connecting educators for environmental sustainability IN the ever-evolving landscape of education, teachers and educators champion the cause of environmental sustainability within primary, high schools, early learning, and other educational settings. However, this noble endeavour can often become a challenging and isolating experience. That's where the Bellingen Nambucca Sustainable Schools Teacher Network, graciously funded by MidWaste and facilitated by Jane Grebert, shines as a beacon of support, inspiration, and collaboration. “The primary mission of this network is to provide a vital space for teachers and educators to connect, share

their experiences, and learn together. “In this spirit, they unite in pursuit of their collective goal: promoting and implementing sustainable practices within their places of learning,” facilitator Jane Grebert said. As of this year, the network has witnessed enthusiastic participation from a diverse range of educational institutions, including Nambucca High School, Dorrigo High School, Cascade Environmental Centre, Bellingen Public School, Chrysalis Steiner School, Valla Preschool, Tallowood Steiner School, Raleigh Primary School, Repton Public School, St. Mary's Bellingen, Bellingen Shire

Council, Coffs Coast Waste Education, and Woolgoolga Public School. The combined effort has seen a total of 35 attendees engaging in this invaluable platform. Throughout the year, the network has orchestrated gatherings, one for each term, each with a unique focus. Activities range from delving into bird language at Dorrigo National Park to practical insights into composting in Raleigh, and indispensable tips for waste reduction within school environments at Valla. The feedback from participants is heartening, with one educator, Justina, expressing, "I thoroughly enjoy these Sustainable School workshops. I come away from each one with new ideas and

Another, Phillipa, chimed in, "Thank you from me too! It is always great to get together

with others who share an interest in sustainability. A very inspiring afternoon." Now, as the year progresses towards its culmination, the network is preparing for its final event in 2023, set to take place in Urunga, specifically on World Teachers Day, which falls on Friday 27 October. This celebration will unfold at Morgo St Park from 4pm, offering an opportunity for all involved in the network to reconnect and further their quest for sustainability. “The event will feature 'The Work That Reconnects’, guided by the expertise of Centre for Ecological Learning facilitators Olivia Bernardini and Tanya Fox,” Jane said. “This transformative experience will help educators explore their emotions regarding current social and environmental

challenges, transcending feelings of overwhelm into a renewed sense of connection, inspiration, and collaborative action. “Equally important is the recognition and celebration of the invaluable contributions made by attendees to their respective schools and centres. “The day will culminate with a celebratory picnic dinner, symbolising the communal spirit and camaraderie that defines this network.” For any inquiries or further information, please reach out to Jane Grebert at 0432 844 870. In this challenging journey towards sustainability, the Bellingen Nambucca Sustainable Schools Teacher Network continues to inspire and support the educators who are shaping a greener future for our youth.

Coordinating meal donations for families in need By Ned COWIE

DIANA Wilkinson of Nambucca Heads saw a post on a local community page about a family who had recently been surprised by the earlier-than-planned birth of their third baby. They were struggling and overwhelmed with the demands of their young family and work and were using Meal Train, a social calendar website, to ask for meal donations. Despite knowing nothing more than an address, a few meal dislikes and numbers of people for the meal, Diana

The website is easy to navigate and completely free. According to Diana, some people leave precise

DEVOTEES of beautiful music are in for the night of their lives as the Bowraville Theatre presents James Bennett performing on Saturday 4 November 2023. The uber-talented multiinstrumentalist, hailing from Newcastle and born in the hinterlands of Byron Bay, will take to the stage and deliver his soul-stirring brand of music in a style that is all his own. James Bennett, known for his unique ability to connect with listeners on a profoundly emotional level, draws inspiration from the legendary Bob Dylan. His music has been described as a compelling blend of self-taught guitar skills, eloquent lyricism, and a voice reminiscent of "rough velvet", according to Brilliant Online. Audiences can expect to be captivated, perhaps even

moved to tears, as Bennett's performance weaves a tapestry of emotion that is eminently listenable. Adding to the musical enchantment of the evening is the Mid North Coast’s own Hannah Harlen, who will guide the audience on a mesmerising melodic journey characterised by intricate loops and rich, velvety vocals. Don't miss this opportunity to experience their unforgettable performances. The Bowraville Theatre's cafe will be open, offering a range of refreshingly cold drinks, popcorn, sweets, and savoury snacks. The event is familyfriendly and wheelchair spaces are available at the theatre. Tickets are $25 and tickets for kids under twelve are $10.

Bitou bush bash at Grassy Head By Jen HETHERINGTON

THOUGH periodically distracted by frolicking whale antics, no less than nineteen individuals turned up at the Grassy Head Beach on Sunday morning 15 October, all dedicated to the mission of tackling the invasive bitou bush, a scourge to our native coastal dune ecology and vegetation. According to the NSW Department of Primary Industries, bitou bush affects native plants mainly through competition, its high growth rate and, possibly, by releasing chemical inhibitors. Dense stands of bitou bush exclude other indigenous plants, leading to decreasing floral biodiversity and, consequently,

changes in faunal diversity. Stands of bitou bush also reduce the aesthetic appeal of natural environments and reduce recreational access to beaches and along walking trails. Along with the knowledge and on ground support of the South West Rocks Dune Care team, a crew from Stuarts Point and District Community Organisation (SPaDCO) were hands on with a supply of hats, gloves, sunblock, tools and documented identifying information. “I think our efforts will help a little towards sustaining healthy

vegetation on the dunes,” SPaDCO Chairperson Mary-Lou Lewis said. “Hopefully we will be successful in a grant we applied for which is to engage contractors to do some hard yakka and spraying to control the bigger outbreaks of bitou. “If that occurs, we can come back and follow up to bits they missed, or hand pull small seedlings.” After a designated hour or so of community dune ‘weeding’, interspersed with whale watching, the combined crews retired to the carpark for a light morning tea, peppered with lots of shared conversation, and baked goodies

Large tree falls across road in Taylors Arm By Ned COWIE LAST Monday night, a large tree along Taylors Arm Road fell across the road between Taylors Arm and Macksville in strong winds that whipped up suddenly through the Nambucca Valley. The mature tree, one of several paulownia trees lining the roadway within a paddock, broke a fence and blocked the road overnight. It was still being removed by lunch-time Tuesday, although the road had been cleared by then. The strong winds brought several other trees in the area down, including one across South Arm Road. Usually, wet weather and softening soils are associated with larger trees falling but the weather has been warmer and drier than average in recent months in the area. A horticulturist and arborist, Alex from Alex’s Vegetation in Port Macquarie said any number of factors could bring down a mature

tree in dry weather. “One reason could be that trees in the area have been bracing each other underground and when another tree falls, even quite a long way away, there is a weakness in the surrounding vegetation. “It causes a flow-on effect. “Sometimes there is a rot issue or with the dry weather, the tree may have lost its integrity. “ In the case of the Taylor’s Arm tree, one local explained that paulownia trees are a fast-growing imported variety which needs quite a lot of water. “They were brought out here to be grown for timber quickly and can be harvested in as little as seven years,” said Brett of South Arm. Alex says mulching around the base of the tree and use of a soluble fertiliser will aid older trees to maintain their condition. If a tree needs professional attention, Alex says an arborist should be called with a focus on reducing and removing dead wood to return the tree to a healthy state.

Orchestras combine to celebrate 100 Years of Disney By Andrea FERRARI

A HUMDINGER of a concert is promised with the Coffs Harbour City Orchestra and Coffs Coast Youth Orchestra collaborating for the first time to perform 100 Years of Disney on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 October at Coffs Harbour Racing Club. “For the first time ever, the Coffs Coast Youth Orchestra is joining our city’s very own orchestra for a fabulous concert of music that has featured in Disney films over the last 100 years,” Coffs Harbour City Orchestra spokesperson Cath McIntyre told News Of The Area. There are two performances - the first at 6pm on Saturday 21 October and the second at 2pm on Sunday 22 October - both to be held indoors at Coffs Harbour Racecourse.

“We can’t wait,” she said. To bring a celebratory feeling to the concerts, the organisers have chosen a dress-up theme and invite the audience to don a suitably Disneyesque outfit for the occasion. “We encourage patrons to dress up as their favourite Disney character and have some wonderful prizes as well as a lucky door prize at the Sunday matinee,” said Cath. There’s a single ticket Season Pass to next year’s Sunday Concert Series at the Regional Conservatorium up for winning, along with Birch Carroll & Coyle (BCC Cinemas) donating some double passes to give as prizes to promote their screening of the 100 year Disney film later in the year. Coffs Harbour City Orchestra Creative Director Tim Egan and Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium

Executive Director Patrick Brearley will be sharing the conducting during the performance. This special concert will be one of Pat's final concerts, with his last performance on October 29 as part of the Conservatorium's Sunday Concert Series, beginning at 1pm. Pat has made the decision to hand on the baton to new and fresh ideas and will be taking leave from 30 October as he transitions into his new career chapter.

Local surf legend recognised in California By Andrea FERRARI

IN RECOGNITION of a lifetime’s work crafting surfboards, Mid North Coast surfboard builder Mitchell Rae, founder and owner of Outer Island Surfboards, officially accepted his induction into the Surfboard Builders Hall of Fame in California on Saturday 14 October. He refers to the U.S. trip as a pilgrimage to his “surfing Mecca”. “A journey to pay tribute to those who paved the way for my career and lifestyle,” Mitchell, who operated from Scotts Head for four years, told News Of The Area. Standing in front of an array of surfing greats while delivering his acceptance speech, Mitchell said, “I have to say I’m experiencing Surf City sensory overload here in Huntington Beach, my first time in California. “You’ve got a lot going on here in contrast to where I live and work on the East Coast of Australia. “I really do have kangaroos that hop down my street.” The road to Mitchell gaining this international accolade has been quite a journey. “To have my work recognised, experiencing Californian hospitality, their surf culture and the size of the surf industry here has been an eye opener. “In hindsight though, beside surfing itself, what’s been

most enjoyable for me about shaping custom surfboards is the satisfaction I get from the process of sitting down with a surfer that wants a board from me, listening and exchanging ideas, writing up the custom order form and then I get to translate that conversation into foam and fiberglass. “If it’s a young surfer’s first custom board or a guy that I’ve been making boards for for decades, inevitably when they come to pick up their new board I get to see the big smiles. “I get so many high energy, stoked phone calls and emails when they’ve had a surf on their new board and that’s enormously gratifying.” Mitchell started surfing in 1963 at Dee Why on

Sydney’s Northern Beaches, the “epicentre for Australian surfing in the early 60s”. Just over the hill, in Brookvale, was the centre for the surfboard industry in Australia, with Barry Bennett, Bill Wallace and Gordon Woods all having their factories there. Mitchell built his first board when he was aged twelve. “I rode that board in the first Australian schoolboys’ competition, making it into the finals with Mark Richards. “Back then, around ‘67, the only way for me to make a living from surfing was making boards.” His first job was as a sander at Peter Clarke Surfboards in Brookvale. “After a year of sanding, I

got a gig as a shaper. “Not long after, with two friends we started Outer Island. “Midget Farrelly was moving his factory to Brookvale, so we stepped straight into his old factory in a boatshed at Palm Beach. “As the factory grom, I glued blanks, glassed, sanded, polished, made fins and got to shape a few boards and we experimented with super deep concave bottoms.” In ’72, Mitchell’s visit to Bali ignited a lifelong affair with the Indonesian island’s waves. “The reefs, steep take offs, perfect barrels and that mystical island culture has had an influence on my life and shapes ever since.” On that first trip to Bali, he

noticed the local fishing boats had eyes painted on the bow. The fishermen believed that having eyes on their boats brought the boat to life and aided their safe return. “I thought that was cool and the ‘Spirit Eyes’, as I call them, have become synonymous with Outer Island surfboards.” Mitchell suggests that his biggest contribution to surfboard design is the 30-odd years he’s dedicated to the development of variable curve and controlled flex. “I was fortunate to surf with George Greenough at Lennox Head in the winter of ‘69 and saw how his spoon Velo would flex, carve incredibly tight arcs and generate speed out of turns and I’ve been on a quest to

incorporate flex into my boards ever since. “My original flex tail designs used a blade-like, flexible fibreglass tail section, inspired by George. “With the advent of flexible foams and carbon fibre I was able to evolve my flex designs by allowing me to replace the buoyancy of the sculpted out tail section, necessary to achieve the flex and to restore the foil and volume of the original tail profile with PE foam.” One of his passions is crafting balsa boards, of which he builds a small number of classic chambered mals and guns each year. “I’d like to think I’ve contributed in a small way to the evolution of modern surfboard design and surfing.”

DEAR Jasminda,

Estate planning for young families JACK and Jill, in their early 30s, have two young children and were recently married. They have worked hard to pay-off half of their mortgage and they have already accumulated a reasonable amount of superannuation. Jack is concerned that if he were to pass-away unexpectedly, whilst still being relatively young, it is likely that Jill would enter-into another relationship and that her new partner could “end up with everything” and that his children could miss-out on their inheritance. Jack seeks legal advice and is advised that it is possible for him to execute a more complex will that would grant Jill a life interest in their home whilst preserving “his half” of the equity for his children. Jill’s right to occupy the home would be conditional upon her paying the rates and insurance and keeping the home in reasonable repair. The life interest could be a “flexible” one, whereby Jill would be entitled to relocate under the same arrangement. Jack is advised that he should appoint an independent executor to monitor Jill’s compliance with the conditions of occupation and to facilitate her relocation, if need be. Jack’s executor would also potentially hold his children’s inheritance on trust until they attain the age of majority. Jack is aware that his superannuation and the attached life insurance policy, would provide sufficient funds to pay-out the mortgage. The solicitor advises Jack that whilst the proposed arrangement would protect his children’s inheritance, it would come at the expense of Jill’s autonomy to deal with the house as she may wish in the future. The solicitor further advises that the ownership of the home would need to be changed to an ownership as tenantsin-common, rather than joint tenants, to achieve Jack’s desired goals. Finally, the solicitor advises Jack that “simple wills” may suffice if he were comfortable that Jill would enter-into a binding financial agreement (prenup) with any future spouse.

I said ‘yes’, you said ‘no’ DEAR News Of The Area,

THE referendum stats are nearly finalised. The highest “yes” vote was in the Electorate of Melbourne. The highest “no” vote to the Electorate of Maranoa. What’s wrong with the Electorate of M…? What’s right with the Electorate of M…? Of course Melbourne is a big city and Maranoa is big country, occupying most of south-western Queensland. Don’t tell me they’re different! Don’t tell me they’re not equal! Why is there this division? Different socio-economics, age, ethnicity, education, religion, values, bias, understanding and tribalism are some of the answers. And yet, in a democracy, we get a vote of equal value. I often wonder why. All these different, unequal individuals making a decision about something they’re not exactly qualified to decide on in an unbiased way. If I was sick, I would go to the

doc, not a dick for the answer. Go to the builder for a house. To the electrician to see the light (yes and no). And if I needed a helping hand, I’d hope for a charity, but may not go to one. Anyway us unequals decided on a Common Constitution. A Constitution that gives a small state like Tasmania an equal number of Senators as NSW. Richer states propping up others. Inequality trying to be bridged to equality. Closer to home, we have the vote count for Nambucca Heads (30% yes), Macksville (27% yes), Bowraville (36% yes), Valla Beach (46% yes) and Bellingen (64% yes). Within a radius of 20km, we have these differences. Melbourne and Maranoa are much further apart in miles and mindset than Bellingen and Bowraville, but I wish they were closer. So that’s my diplomatic best without laying the blame nor rejoicing in the result. Regards, Rory KAINE, Nambucca Heads.

Friends recently invited us to their home for a woodfired pizza night. As committed pizza makers, we were excited to show off our skills and arrived with toppings for a spectacular salmon pizza. After spending time arranging red onion rings, slivers of salmon, bocconcini, arugula, a secret mayonnaise recipe, capers, and a drizzle of cold-pressed Olive Oil, our winning pizza was delivered with pride to the host who somehow managed to fling it off the pizza placing peel and onto the pebble-covered ground (at which point his dog licked it). He then scooped it up and tried to turn it into some sort of Yorkshire pudding even though it was clearly inedible. For one terrible moment, before I intervened, he seemed to be leaning towards cooking it regardless and serving it to the assembled guests. It put a bit of a damper on the evening. Gregorio F.

damper on the evening? You’re good. Are you trying to take my job? I’ll have you know this position involved a gruelling interview process. Sort of like a cross between Squid Game and a public service job application. I suspect, with a name like Gregorio, you are not only committed to food, but a bit fanatical (and quite possibly neurotic). Your ingredients suggest that you didn’t see this as an evening of friendly banter, but an opportunity for some robust one-upmanship. Your host felt that too, no doubt, and so what (to the casual observer) looked like a simple misstep was more an act of brinkmanship. It could have gone either way. Had you allowed your host to cook the pizza, your acquiescence would have been on full display as the social group silently compared his crisp, minimalistic pepperoni pizza to your hot mess of polychlorinated biphenyls, Bunnings Tuscan path pebbles and dog slobber. Instead, by removing your exhibit from the equation, the question of your pizza’s relative superiority will always remain. The social group will await the next instalment (perhaps a Turducken evening) with bated (not baited) breath. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Dear Gregorio, The Yorkshire pudding put a

Muddying the waters on water rights DEAR News Of The Area,

THE following letter is in response to comments from Gurmesh Singh and Michael Kemp on Coastal Harvestable Water Rights. Mark Twain famously said: “There are lies, damned lies and statistics.” It was a shrewd and perceptive observation of how statistics can be used to muddy the waters, distract attention or support a poor argument. That quote came to mind when I read the article in NOTA two weeks ago on Coastal Harvestable Water Rights. Nothing muddies the water more effectively than an irrelevant

statistic. Gurmesh Singh may be correct when he says that 30 percent of runoff only equates to two and a half percent of the water that falls on a property. Correct, but not relevant. The real issue is not the percentage of rainfall but the amount of runoff that is withheld from our streams, rivers and ultimately the Solitary Islands Marine Park. That runoff is critical to the health of those waterways and the marine life they nurture. That’s why we measure and control runoff, not total rainfall. Coastal streams do demonstrably benefit from higher rainfall than inland waterways. However, the health of the ecosystem those streams support depends on that

higher rainfall. It is both simplistic and wrong to say that we can capture and store three times as much in coastal systems without a negative impact. That runoff is critical to a complex and important part of the place we call home. As for the science, it was right there in the former NSW Government’s analysis of the move to 30 percent harvestable water rights. The Government itself said that there will be more frequent periods of no or low river flow and reduced flushing as a result of the increase in harvestable water and it noted the negative

impact that would have on water quality. It also specifically noted that increased harvestable rights could also result in Woolgoolga Lake being open to the sea less frequently and for a shorter amount of time, a poor outcome for so many people in Woolgoolga. There is room for debate about land use and water policy in our region, but let’s keep it real. Irrelevant statistics don’t add value to a debate on water, just a lot of mud. Regards, Tony JUDGE.

purchase outdoor picnic tables and chairs and improve lighting so visitors and volunteers can safely access the site at night.” Secretary Elizabeth Newman agrees. “We want to encourage visitors to utilise the free tennis courts and attend 2NVR monthly Free Studio 3 Live-to-Air Music performances by local musicians,” Elizabeth said. “Our Multipurpose Centre is a free space for sharing and inclusiveness. “Promoting mental health and well-being is our highest priority.” 2NVR’s focus is on strengthening community connections and improving local community

participation. The radio station has over 40 volunteer on-air presenters, and the committee's inclusive strategic planning involves the elderly, youth, CALD, disabled and Gumbaynggirr people. A variety of roles are available for anyone wishing to volunteer. This small infrastructure project has improved safety and provided all participants, visitors, volunteers and musicians equal access to the site. Nambucca Valley Radio used local suppliers’ and volunteers' in-kind donations for the project. 2NVR would like to thank Pat Conaghan and Matt Field for their support during this grant process.

Valleys Cricket, Sawtell, and Northern Districts win season openers VALLEYS Cricket, Sawtell, and the Northern Districts Rebels have all made winning starts to the Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s first grade season. The three clubs won their opening round matches as players returned to the fields across the Coffs Coast for a new cricket season.

North Coast Cricket Council’s Premier League champions Valleys Cricket continued where they left off from last season, accounting for the Coffs Colts by eight wickets in their one dayer at Dorrigo. Valleys Cricket bowled out the Colts for 85 after Coffs opened the batting, with Josh Bartlett taking 3/28 from his seven overs. Jamison Dawes and Taylor Gilbert both took 2/11 from their eight overs each. Alec Baldwin led home the

successful run chase finishing on 49 not out. Sawtell also got their season off to a winning start with a five-wicket victory against Diggers Cricket Club at Fitzroy Oval. Diggers opened the batting and were bowled out for 161, with Reuben Carey top scoring with 69. Kalob Stone was the best of the Sawtell bowlers taking 2/18 from his eight overs. Sawtell captain Tyh Murphy top scored in their winning run chase

with a knock of 68. The Northern Districts Rebels were also opening round winners beating the Nana Glen Lizards by seven wickets in Woolgoolga. Nana Glen opened the batting and finished at 8/157 from their 40 overs. Matt Giri top scored with 47, with Adrian Craig posting 46. Anu Grewal and Taj Dosanjh led home the successful chase for the Rebels, finishing not out on 56 and 43 respectively.

ANOTHER championship down, only a couple to go. On Saturday 14 October Pushbike Michel, Angry and Ceddo 27 beat Pete Hill, The Rock and Major Mino 10. Dougie’s side led from the start in front of a good crowd, who were munching away on delicious tucker from the Greens Bistro and cold

beers and wine from the newly renovated bar. The next championship is the much anticipated Major Singles, with one of the biggest fields seen for years. Tickets for the Calcutta are still for sale behind the bar from your friendly bar staff. The sheet is up for the Club

fours, so get your team together for this event. This weekend, 21 -22 October, we have sides in the Zone 4s. Good luck boys. Next weekend, 28-29 October, the Zone singles are on and Nambucca Bowlo is a good chance of hosting this prestigious event. so we might need some help with

marking the first round. So don't be shy and help out your Club. In other news, Friday Triples is drawing numbers in 60 plus. The Wednesday, selected triples is getting towards the awarding of the trip to the Gold Coast, featuring accommodation, a vehicle and fuel supplied by Kempsey Nissan.

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.

Sprocket:

Council’s flood recovery program is a multi-faceted process involving the co-ordination of a number of specialised consultants, contractors, scarce materials and receiving funding approval. Council has its own teams and contractors engaged to undertake repairs to urban and rural sealed road network as well as the unsealed road network prioritising high speed roads, higher use roads and bus routes. Should you know of a road that is in poor or unsafe condition please call Council on (02) 6568 2555 and report it.

Marc Fennell’s penetrative-yet-humorous investigative style makes everything the talented journo turns his eagle eye to worthy of watching. Fennell, who had us glued to the screen with The Kingdom and Framed, paints a fascinating picture in this gripping, sumptuously shot investigative threeparter, kicking oﬀ tonight. It’s a strange true story that is just begging to be examined in great detail; in outback Western Australia, 1986, 26 European masterpieces were savagely ripped from their frames inside a Spanish monastery. It’s a perplexing, under-the-radar art heist for the ages in which Fennell expertly draws every potent little detail, from the tiny monastic Aussie town to London and New York.

It’s billed as a rom-com, but this new British series is more black than you’d expect. Starring Katherine Parkinson, who sparkled in the cult hit tech comedy The IT Crowd, and Youssef Kerkour (Home), it’s a tale of two broken misﬁts who inexplicably form a connection in the midst of a heart attack and a suicide attempt. It’s a bold premise that wholeheartedly embraces trying to ﬁnd the mirth in melancholy. Set in Manchester, 40-somethings Anna and Sam are each staring at rock bottom, until their misfortunes intersect before an ambulance trip. Somehow, Anna puts up with divorced Sam’s appalling behaviour, which is likely to make you want to scream “Run!” at your screen.

THE COTSWOLDS WITH PAM AYRES

SBS, 7.30pm

British poet Pam Ayres garnered fans and fame through ditties such as “Oh I Wish I’d Looked After Me Teeth”,and “Please Will You Take Your Children Home Before I Do Them In?”. In this attractive new four-part series, premiering tonight, the witty writer takes a warmhearted trip through her home terrain. Rather than the usual tourist spots, it’s an intimate travelogue of the stunningly beautiful Cotswolds businesses and locals. The softly spoken 76-year-old exudes a soothing quality as she enthusiastically shares her ﬁnds, beginning in Bourton-on-the-Water, a little village that looks ripped straight from a fairytale.
