Mutti Mutti songman Kutcha Edwards brings ‘Circling Time’ to Bowraville

By Mick BIRTLES

ONE of the nation’s most profound live music experiences is bound for the Nambucca Valley when Kutcha Edwards appears at the Bowraville Theatre on Friday 28 October 2022.

A proud Mutti Mutti songman, Kutcha will bring focus to his significant and wonderfully acclaimed album ‘Circling Time’ when he performs at Bowraville as part of a tour of regional NSW.

The tour supports his new single release, ‘Mrs Edwards’, which is a vivid recollection about the devastating day Kutcha was removed from his Mum’s care.

The single’s release coincides with two new music video releases, one for Mrs Edwards and another for the rousing anthem ‘Singing Up Country’.

During a recent tour in regional Victoria the soulful Kutcha Edwards played to sold out rooms, standing ovations with much tears and laughter.

q The incomparable Kutcha Edwards is to appear at the Bowraville Theatre on Friday, 28 October 2022.

Pat Congahan calls on Albanese Government to form a National Housing Summit

“The flow-on effect of city dwellers being priced out of the metro market, coupled with the greater ability to work remotely, has regions like my electorate of Cowper on the Mid North Coast at breaking point,” Mr Conaghan said.

“We are seeing increases in regional populations at unprecedented rates, which is driving up regional property prices and rents to levels well outside the reach of the average family.

“This isn’t only affecting our most vulnerable, it’s affecting fulltime working mums and dads, the young and the old.

“The increased demand has seen vacancy rates hit an all-time low, with the level of competition on every property now at a frenzy.”

Mr Conghan said at its core the issue boils down to “supply and demand”, and said all levels

of government need to work together to remove red tape and quickly increase housing stock.

Nationals leader David Littleproud has been travelling through Cowper this week on the party’s ‘Listening Tour’, and has heard from locals suffering the impact of the housing crisis in the region.

“Housing has continually been noted as one of the biggest issues facing regional Australians,” Mr Littleproud said.

“The financial, mental and emotional stress as a result is untenable.

“I’ve heard from displaced youth unable to afford accommodation close to educational facilities who are forced to travel for hours a day just to go to class, to single mothers cramming multiple children into small apartments.

“And then there are our already vulnerable, with older single women being hit particularly hard.

“This cannot continue.

Deans Bridge upgrades

NAMBUCCA Valley Council wishes to advise that due to expected works to upgrade Deans Bridge as part of the Fixing Country Bridges program, a road detour will be established to divert traffic around the construction site while work is

being undertaken.

Weather permitting, works will date from 7.00am Thursday 20 October 2022 to 1.00pm Friday 9 December 2022 at Deans Bridge, Dyers Loop Road, Argents Hill.

“We need to push for tangible solutions and we need to do it now.”

Federal Minister for Housing and Homelessness Julie Collins told News Of The Area a decade of inaction by the former LiberalNational Government had left Australia with serious housing challenges across the country.

“The Albanese Government understands safe and affordable housing is central to the security and dignity of all Australians.

“We want every Australian to have the security of having a roof over their head.

“Which is why we have an ambitious housing reform agenda to address these challenges.”

While Ms Collins did not comment on the likelihood of a National Housing Summit, she said the Government would widen the remit of the National Housing Infrastructure Facility, making up to $575 million available to invest in social and affordable housing.

“This will support the Albanese Labor Government’s

In working towards a collaborative National Housing and Homelessness Plan, Ms Collins has met twice with state and territory Housing Ministers, something she claims didn't happen for almost five years under the former Government.

“We will also continue to work collaboratively to introduce a National Housing Supply and Affordability Council, to ensure the Commonwealth plays a leadership role in increasing housing supply and improving housing affordability.”

Housing was a key feature of the recent Jobs and Skills Summit, with more than 100 roundtables held prior to the Summit in communities across the country.

Housing affordability has also been discussed by the Prime Minister and Premiers and Chief Ministers at National Cabinet.

Kutcha Edwards to perform at Bowraville

An artist who has worked with the likes of Archie Roach, Judith Durham, Paul Kelly and Paul Hesta, just to name a few, comes packed with some serious musical credentials and is in keeping with the Bowraville Theatre’s recent history of presenting stunning

headliners on their stage.

It is said that a Kutcha Edwards live experience takes you on a journey with stories from his life, the highs and the lows that segue so eloquently into each song choice lifting your spirit.

Kutcha has developed a reputation for using music to create connections across

cultures, generations, and spaces.

Secretary of the Bowraville Arts Council, Dale Hawkins, told News Of The Area, “The Kutcha Edwards performance is likely to be another sell out for the theatre so I recommend that music lovers get in early so not to be disappointed."

The Vanishing

Conservationists to converge on Coffs for koala conference

By Andrew VIVIAN

COFFS Harbour will be the focus for scientists, conservationists, scientists and wildlife carers as they assemble to highlight the extinction risk facing koalas in NSW and discuss policy solutions to protect koalas and their habitat.

They will gather at The Cavanbah Centre from 9am until 5pm on Saturday, October 29, for ‘The Vanishing – NSW Koala Conference’.

The conference is the brainchild of former NSW Liberal MLC Catherine Cusack and is timed to put koala protection on the agenda ahead of the March 2023 state election.

Speakers will include Ms Cusack, Justin Field (NSW MLC), Penny Sharpe (NSW Shadow Environment Minister), Cate Faehrmann (NSW MLC), Dr Stuart Blanch (Senior Manager - Land Clearing and Restoration, WWF Australia), Sally Townley (Deputy Mayor, Coffs Harbour) and Micklo Jarrett (Head Aboriginal Language and Culture Trainer for the Gumbaynggirr Language and Culture Nest).

Other scientists, conservationists and politicians will also speak.

The NSW National Parks Association is organising a meet-and-greet event on the Friday for local businesses and a Koala Family Picnic on

the Sunday to coincide with the conference.

The Association has arranged for an open letter for business in support of the Great Koala National Park to be handed over at the event, and, so far, forty businesses have signed it.

The view of the Association is that the Great Koala National Park is not just the koala’s best hope at survival in NSW, but is predicted to create an extra 9,800 jobs in tourism over fifteen years and inject $1.2 billion in projected additional

regional economic output.

“As a former MP who served in opposition and government, I saw up close how our political process is failing koalas,” Ms Cusack said.

“Yes, there has been significant media coverage of their decline, nice words and lots of sympathy - but we are yet to see a credible rescue plan from the major parties who will form Government after the March 2023 election.

Ms Cusack crossed the floor twice in Parliament - both times for matters

The Kutcha Edwards ‘Circling Time’ show will commence at 7:00 pm on Friday 28 October.

Theatre doors open at 6pm and the theatre cafe will be open for coffee and cake.

Tickets are available on Sticky Tickets or at the door for $35 if not sold out.

Nationals leaders take Listening Tour through Cowper

FEDERAL Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan this week welcomed The Nationals leader David Littleproud and Deputy Leader Senator Perin Davey to the Cowper electorate as part of the party’s ‘Regional Listening Tour’.

The tour is aimed at listening and learning from regional voters, particularly those who left the party at this year’s election.

Mr Conaghan said the party needed to be honest about the election result.

In particular, he acknowledged that female voters and youth may have felt disillusioned before the Federal Election.

“I’m heartened to see our newly elected National Party Leaders touring through regional Australia to hear from those who matter most – the voters with real issues, facing real challenges and needing real solutions,” Mr Conaghan said.

of childcare in our regional centres for our working mums and dads.

“We are the party that wants to help women and give them the support and services they need.

“I know that finding available childcare centres is a real challenge for regional families and I want to hear from those who need help the most.”

Senator Davey acknowledged that work needed to be done to ensure regional youth are heard and that their needs are met.

“The Nationals want to ensure our future – our youth – has the opportunity to thrive.

“Those living in regional towns know what’s best for them – so we’re traveling directly to the locals, to listen, to learn, to appreciate their concerns and find solutions.”

concerning koala protection.

She said she came to realise that individual politicians speaking out is insufficient and that collective action by citizens is the last line of defence for koalas.

“Now is the time to insist koalas are a priority.

“In the lead up to the NSW state election in March, it’s more important than ever for us to make our voices heard.”

Further information, tickets and how to join remotely can be found at eventbrite.com.

“We are keen to hear from as many people as possible about how we can help improve their lives and their communities.”

Mr Littleproud expressed his focus on providing tangible solutions, particularly for the growing number of young families who have flocked to the regions in recent years.

“I am determined to find practical solutions, not just for more affordable childcare centres but more importantly, the availability

Listening Events included Regional Women’s Breakfasts in both Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour, Youth Forums at Charles Sturt University and Southern Cross University and Family and Community Centres in Kempsey and Nambucca.

“Along the way we will also stop at pubs, clubs and restaurants to meet everyday Australians.

“Bringing common sense to Canberra starts with meeting real people and seeing the challenges they face on the ground,” Mr Conaghan said.

Wild at Art: Threatened Species

AUSTRALIA has an unenviable record for animal extinctions.

Since European settlement we’ve lost national treasures like the Paradise Parrot, Desert Bandicoot, Toolache Wallaby and the Thylacine.

The reasons for Australia’s terrible track record, especially with mammal extinctions, are many and complex, including loss and fragmentation of habitat, the introduction of feral species (particularly rabbits, cats and foxes), and changes to traditional fire patterns.

The team at The Art Space Urunga is interested in alerting the public to help prevent the further decline of our unique and spectacular wildlife.

The gallery’s new exhibition, ‘Wild at Art: Threatened Species’, is an opportunity to inform and educate through all genres of art practice.

The exhibition is on now and runs until 6 November at The Art Space, 13 Bonville St, Urunga.

Open every day from 10am - 4pm.

The exhibition features artists from across the region, including local painter Judith Kirkwood.

Judith’s works ‘Precious contents’ and ‘Hear my call’ will feature in the exhibition, and highlight the plight of local species.

“‘Precious Contents’ pictures Squirrel Gliders in a nest box,” Judith said.

Twilight Golf $15 daily after 3 pm

Nambucca Heads Island Golf Club, Stuart Island, Nambucca Heads

“The boxes were installed by a local ecologist because of the loss of hollow bearing trees through clearing and logging.

“This allows breeding of small animals that provide prey for other animals such as owls like the threatened Barking owl shown in my other painting, ‘Hear my call’,” said Judith.

Also included in the exhibition is ‘Nature Morte’, an acrylic ink on paper piece by Lisa Zanderigo.

“This work was my response to watching the devastating bushfires of 201920 with the loss of life of people, flora and fauna,” said Lisa.

“Watching the last of our forests and habitats being destroyed, it highlighted the worsening crisis we are facing with the extinction of animals, the degradation of the environment and the pollution we are failing to mitigate.

“I have chosen to highlight the threat against Honey Bees, Eastern Koalas, Murray Cods and Green Bell Frogs.

“All are in trouble and threatened with extinction.

“The title 'Nature Morte' is the original term in art for 'Still Life', however its literal translation means 'Dead Nature',” Lisa said.

Expressions of Interest for Free Koala Food Trees

Nambucca Valley Council has been provided with funding from the NSW Government’s “Saving our Species Program” for the supply of koala food trees to those property owners who have sufficient land area, capability and interest in developing a food resource for this icon species.

Priority will be given to those residents in Council’s Koala Management Strategy’s Precinct 1 being Valla Beach, Valla, Newee Creek, Bowraville, Tewinga, Wirrimbi, North Macksville, Congarinni North and Talaram areas as well as Precinct 2 comprising Utungun, Congarinni, Allgomera, Eungai Creek, Eungai Rail and Tamban.

The Council will be sourcing and supplying tube stock for three primary koala food trees being Tallowwood (Eucalyptus microcorys), Forest red gum (E. tereticornis), and Swamp mahogany (E. robusta). Property owners should check the characteristics of these trees, their size and preferred habitat before submitting an expression of interest nominating the requested number and species of tree.

Preference will be given to expressions of interest which enhance or extend existing forested areas or forest corridors rather than the creation of an isolated stand.

Expressions of interest nominating the species and number of trees sort as well as the location of the property and the property owner’s consent are to be sent to Michael Coulter at Nambucca Valley Council via email to MichaelCoulter@nambucca.nsw.gov.au or by mail to the General Manager, Nambucca Valley Council PO Box 177 Macksville NSW 2447 on or before 30 November 2022.

Whilst Council will use its best endeavours to supply all requests this cannot be guaranteed as it has a fixed project budget and a single source of supply.

Hocus Pocus the hospital helper

aged care facility and in the general ward at Bellinger River District Hospital.

By Andrea FERRARI

BELLINGER River Hospital provides a special treatment for its patients in the form of pats and a quiet presence with Hocus Pocus the companion horse.

The miniature pony travels all the way from Eungai Creek to visit not only the patients but the staff who all love stroking the beautifully natured pony who brightens their day and spreads his magic wherever he goes.

Hocus Pocus visits every couple of months and spends his time in Hartley House

Hocus Pocus’ owner and hospital staff member Bec Fawcett-Ashley said she was lucky enough to purchase the pony at one year of age, and it didn’t take her long to

realise that he was born to help others.

“He’s just a very special pony.

“He will really focus on the patient, putting his nuzzle on their chest and he just stays there until the patient is ready,” Ms Fawcett-

Ashley said.

“I usually allow him enough time to form eye contact with the patient, so they get that real bonding feeling.”

Some of the patients become quite emotional.

“Just a simple pat can bring beautiful memories flooding back, especially for those who have worked on the land.

“He just knows when someone is not well, and he responds to that.”

Acting Deputy Director of Nursing Jennie Helisma said having pet engagement in hospitals brings a sense of pure joy to everyone.

“The eyes of the patients and staff really light up and it is just a beautiful sight to see,” Ms Helisma said.

“And the staff love having Hocus Pocus visit, it really helps build staff morale.”

Knitting Nannas launch Constitutional challenge to new NSW anti-protest laws to protect democratic freedoms

LAST week two women from the flood and fire-impacted NSW Mid North Coast launched a Constitutional challenge to new anti-protest laws to preserve democratic freedoms of speech and assembly in NSW.

Plaintiffs Dominique and Helen will argue that to uphold our Constitution, the NSW Government must allow communities to peacefully protest against government policy in public spaces.

Dominique and Helen are members of the Knitting Nannas, an international organisation attempting to ensure that our land, air and water are preserved for our children and grandchildren.

Following highly publicised protests in Sydney earlier this year, the NSW Government ushered through amendments to the Road Amendment (Major Bridges and Tunnels) Regulation 2022 and introduced the Roads and Crimes Legislation Amendment Act 2022 to parliament without public consultation.

The new laws are so broad that a group of people could face serious criminal charges simply by protesting near a railway station and causing people to be redirected around them; meaning peaceful protesters could be fined up to $22,000 or face up to two years in jail.

Representing Dominique and Helen, the Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) has launched a Constitutional challenge to section 214A of the Crimes Act 1900 that makes it an offence, for example, to remain ‘near’ any part of a ‘major facility’ if that conduct ‘causes persons attempting to use the major facility to be redirected’, on the basis it impermissibly burdens the implied freedom of political communication.

Dominique and Helen will also ask the Court to find

that the definition of “major bridge, tunnel or road” is too broad.

Plaintiff, Knitting Nanna, mother and wildlife carer Dominique said, “As mothers, wildlife carers and Knitting Nannas who use our freedom to protest to push for climate action while floods and bushfires destroy our communities around us, this attack on our democratic freedoms is a slap in the face.

“We will ask the Court to find that aspects of these new laws are unconstitutional.

“Australians like us shouldn’t have to risk imprisonment or

bankruptcy to participate in our democracy, and the Government should not be taking away our democratic rights.”

Co-plaintiff Helen said, “As Knitting Nannas, we believe well-behaved women never make history.

“Women didn’t get the vote by asking nicely, they had to take bold action to demand their rights.

“We need to defend our freedom to protest as once it has been eroded, it is gone forever.

“There’s a long, proud history of peaceful protests in Australia, and our democratic freedoms are critical in pushing the Government to do the right thing and take climate action seriously.”

Both Dominique and Helen have been at the frontline of Australian climate impacts, experiencing the devastation, trauma and loss from drought, fires and floods in the last four years alone.

Dominique said, “In the 2019 drought, the river we live on stopped flowing - I didn’t think we would ever see that, it was devastating.

“My mother and fatherin-law lost their home in the floods and were rescued from their house by the SES.

“Our communities have felt terrified, angry and stressed.

“Protest can transform

those overwhelming feelings into change and action.”

Helen said, "In 2021, I helped my daughter buy a house, but it was flooded on the first night she moved in.

“It had supposedly not flooded for 100 years.

“I also know people who lost family members from the fires.

“As a psychologist, I have seen first-hand the trauma of climate impacts on people, year after year.

“We’ve tried everything from sending letters and signing petitions to meeting politicians, and still, the Government continues to dismiss climate science and approve new coal and gas projects.

“Coal and gas projects that fuel the climate

crisis and devastate Australian communities with catastrophic floods and bushfires are the true disruptors of our way of life, not individuals exercising their democratic freedoms and taking part in peaceful protest.”

Environmental Defenders Office CEO David Morris said, “History has shown that protest is crucial in a robust democracy and contributes towards achieving better outcomes for people, nature and our climate.

“Australians shouldn’t have to risk these serious criminal sanctions to participate in our shared democracy, through peaceful protest.

“Those without access to political power and decisionmaking must have a voice in our democracy.

“For people like Dominique and Helen, protest is an essential form of expression to sound the alarm about the impacts of climate change.

“If successful, this case will aid in the preservation of our democracy.

“It will see the worst excesses of these new laws struck out.

“It will provide clarity for all NSW citizens seeking to avail themselves of the democratic freedom to protest.”

Timber shortages and red tape hindering flood recovery efforts

NSW FARMERS say government red tape is hampering efforts to rebuild homes in flood-ravaged areas amidst a critical timber shortage.

Bronwyn Petrie from the NSW Farmers Conservation and Resource Management Committee said $2 billion a year was being spent on importing timber to rebuild homes while barriers to harvesting sent timber prices soaring and prevented local workers from doing their jobs.

The situation was getting so dire in some areas, Mrs Petrie said, that the timber industry would be wiped out in those areas, making building supplies even more expensive and limiting farm income.

“We’ve got a serious housing shortage in NSW

– rents are skyrocketing, interest rates are going up, and house prices are at record highs as well,” Mrs Petrie said.

“It’s made worse in areas that need rebuilding after fires and floods where people are still living in tents, with these critical timber shortages resulting in higher construction prices for homes, businesses and other infrastructure.

“For years the NSW Government has promised to sort out this over-regulation and thoughtless red tape and now jobs and housing supply are at crisis point.”

NSW Farmers welcomed changes to the Private Native Forestry Code earlier this year, but Mrs Petrie said she was still waiting for promised changes to forestry plans and dual consent.

As part of the forestry review it was clearly identified that increasing forestry plans

from fifteen to 30 years and removing dual consent requirements were key to the continuation and growth of farm forestry.

“Australian forestry is all about sustainability, it makes no sense to be importing timber from some fundamentally unregulated overseas forests when our own heavily regulated forests are available on the doorstep, providing high quality timbers while supporting farmers and local industries, and importantly delivering economic and environmental outcomes,” Mrs Petrie said.

Mrs Petrie said NSW Farmers was calling for a practical approach to farm forestry on private land, which would provide a “winwin” in terms of job creation, building supplies, farm income diversity and disaster preparedness.

“The north of the state has

been devastated by floods, and a few years ago they were devastated by fires, and demand for housing materials has led to a critical shortage of timber for construction,” Mrs Petrie said.

“Allowing farmers recovering from fire and

floods to diversify their operations with the certainty provided by 30 year farm forestry plans and removal of dual consent will also support the contractors and timber mills that are on their knees.

“We need 30-year approvals that meet the

Nobel Prize winners and experts from Australia’s

leading universities will deliver scholarship training, culminating in a three-day trip to Canberra, where scholars will meet peers, politicians and industry experts.

Farmers for Climate Action Outreach Coordinator Ellen Litchfield, said, “This scholarship is an exciting opportunity to learn about the wide range of climate

adaptation strategies available to farmers, and find out more about opportunities that climate action presents for our farming communities.”

Farmer and now Nuffield Scholar, Iain Field, said he found the Farmers for Climate Action education program to be very worthwhile.

“Farmers are on the frontlines of climate impacts,

but there is so much we can do to build resilience on-farm and reduce our carbon footprint.

“I gained so much practical knowledge that I could implement on-farm from a similar program run by Farmers for Climate Action back in 2018. If you have a passion for the future of the Australian ag industry, I would strongly recommend you

apply for this scholarship.”

Farmers can apply on our website at farmersforclimateaction.org. au.

Applications close at midnight on 24 October.

UHA donate $70,000 ultrasound machine to Macksville Hospital

By Andrea FERRARI

THE BowraMacksville branch of the United Hospital Auxiliary (UHA) has donated a $70,000 ultrasound machine to Macksville District Hospital using proceeds from its on-site café.

Branch president Lorraine Edmondson said the donation of life-saving equipment was an amazing tribute to the hard work and generosity of her volunteers.

“We are so very happy to be able to donate this important piece of equipment to Macksville Hospital, where it will be put to great use in Emergency and in Maternity,” Lorraine said.

“$70,000 is a lot of money…and it’s a lot of coffees.

“We have such a hardworking group of volunteers who are so willing to fill the café roster and in doing so provide a tremendous service to the hospital as well.”

Susan Hedgecoe, speaking on behalf of the Macksville UHA volunteers, told News Of The Area, “Our volunteers are people who want to contribute to the community and to support both hospital staff and patients.

“All volunteers are trained in food preparation and coffee making.

“Some volunteers work at the cafe once a fortnight or once a month, several are there every week.

“Sometimes it is as much the cheerful smile, the words of encouragement or the sympathetic ear that is valued

as much as the coffee, cake or burger.”

Macksville’s Director Emergency Medicine Dr Karly Field described the ultrasound as a “really crucial” piece of equipment.

“It is used in Emergency Medicine to assess heart function, assess patients with trauma, to put cannulas into veins, and a whole range of diverse diagnostics,” Dr Field said.

“We are very grateful to the volunteers for their hard work and generosity in making this donation possible.”

Also thankful for the donation was Midwifery Group Practice Manager Connie Greenwood from the Macksville Hospital Maternity Service.

National Carers Week

NATIONAL Carers Week runs from Sunday 16 to Saturday 22 October 2022, with this year the 30th anniversary of the celebration of Australia’s carers.

There are more than 850,000 carers across NSW.

NSW Minister for Families and Communities

and Minister for Disability Services Natasha MaclarenJones said National Carers Week is an opportunity to recognise the crucial support that carers provide and to thank them for their contribution to our community.

“This year’s theme

‘Millions of Reasons to Care’ is a testament to the endless hours of support NSW carers provide,” Mrs Maclaren-Jones said.

“Caring for a loved one takes unimaginable dedication and patience and this is a week to highlight the vital work they do.

“We can’t thank the UHA volunteers enough for this life-saving piece of equipment.

“It is worth every cent of its $70,000 price tag.

“We know it is a lot of

“These selfless individuals in our community don’t look for thanks and praise but their incredible efforts need to be celebrated.”

Regional Health Plan: Have your say!

PEOPLE living in rural, regional and remote communities across NSW are being encouraged to have their say on a new plan for the future of regional health.

Minister for Regional Health Bronnie Taylor said the community’s feedback will be absolutely critical in developing the Regional Health Plan 20222032.

“We know our regional communities care deeply about their healthcare services and this is their opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to shaping the future of their healthcare system,” Mrs Taylor

said.

“I want to ensure the community is at the heart of everything the NSW Government is doing when it comes to health in the regions, so I strongly encourage everyone who has an interest in regional health to have their say on the new plan.

“Your insights will help inform the development of a strong plan that enables us to deliver on our goal to improve healthcare experiences and outcomes for everyone living in rural, regional and remote NSW.”

Regional Health Division Coordinator General Luke Sloane said the survey would build upon the valuable

consultation conducted to date.

“We have had the benefit of input from local communities, local government representatives and health stakeholders. I look forward to hearing from many more people through this survey, as it will guide us in developing a strategy that meets the health needs of communities now and into the future,” Mr Sloane said.

So far there has been 68 consultation sessions with 1,600 people across NSW as well as more than 2,000 surveys completed.

Need more support to live at home? It’s time to get reassessed ADVERTISING FEATURE

NAVIGATING the Australian Government-funded aged care services, My Aged Care, may be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.

Understanding the system and having the right information on hand, makes the process a lot easier.

Before you are reassessed, you need to understand your approved level of support and services.

Under My Aged Care, there are two subsidised home care options; the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) and Home Care Packages (HCP).

Senior Australians who receive a small amount of support, typically one hour every fortnight, are most likely receiving CHSP.

The CHSP provides entrylevel support for eligible people who need some help to live independently in their home.

Older Australians who need more support, starting from two hours weekly, are most likely approved for a Home Care Package.

There are four levels of Home Care Packages that help meet different care needs including basic, low-level, intermediate and high-level support.

As an approved provider of Home Care Packages, Livable provides each customer with a dedicated Care Support Coordinator who regularly checks in on their customers to ensure the level of support and services meet their needs.

Livable’s NDIS and Aged Care Support Coordinator, Jessie Henry, said the most common question asked is how to receive additional support.

“If you feel like your current supports are not meeting your needs or it has been several years since you have had an assessment, it might be time to be reassessed,” Ms Henry said.

“All you need is your aged care number and call My Aged Care for a reassessment.”

Ms Henry further suggests, if provided with the option, a home visit by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) may be more beneficial than a phone assessment.

“Conducting the review in your home provides the assessor a comprehensive analysis of your living

conditions and potential hazards,” she said.

“Those at risk of falling or have had a recent fall will be prioritised and reassessed within ten days.

“I always advise my customers to start the reassessment process now as package approval can take up to six months.”

Livable provides home visits to help you understand My Aged Care and the steps needed for a reassessment.

If you need assistance or would like more information, contact Jessie at 0479 140 743.

Retirement Living

Livable listens to me and organises the care I need. The staff genuinely care about me, check-in regularly and treat me like a person. I am thrilled with the care I receive and couldn’t be happier.

Your Theatre Needs You - Volunteer at the Bowraville Theatre

By Mick BIRTLES

COMMUNITY facilities such as the iconic Bowraville Theatre, a fully restored art deco style theatre in High Street, Bowraville, are rare and the Nambucca Valley is fortunate to possess such a gem. Volunteer operated and managed, the theatre struggled to get through the COVID pandemic as the bills had to be paid and the facility maintained however they were unable to hold events to raise funds.

Now that life is back to relative normality the Bowraville Theatre is well and truly back in business and has already boasted capacity audiences.

Tasman Keith’s homecoming concert sold out, fans snapped up tickets to the ultra popular Hello Tut Tut and tickets to the Bowraville Theatre Singers sold fast.

There are a number of great acts and movies booked for the theatre in the months ahead and with the theatre soon to start construction on a state of the art dressing room and green room facilities this trend is set to increase.

On Sunday 23 October 2022 the Bowraville Arts Council, who operate the theatre, will be holding their Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Music Soiree.

Nambucca Bowls

By Grumpy’s GRUMBLE

YOU might have noticed that there was nothing from the grump last issue because there was nothing to report, but this week there’s heaps.

So let’s start with last Wednesday when our division three went to South West Rocks to play the washed out game from a couple of weeks ago.

Macksville had won last weekend, so either us or South West Rocks could top the ladder with a win, and it was us that came away winners with a 9-1 result which showed you don’t

have to stack sides to win.

Mick Ellison's side won 2419, Cosi went down 20-21 and Pete Meehan won 17-13.

This meant the boys went back to South West Rocks over the weekend to play a round robin against the other section winners but couldn’t produce the same result.

Maybe they needed the support of ‘Golden Arm’, ‘Urky’, ’The Grump’, Janis Cedo and Teressa Meehan, who really cheered the boys on on Wednesday and on the way home - a three stubbie trip.

Friday division two Played

Kempsey at home and needed a 10-0 win and 38 shot difference.

We went down 10-0 and 13 shots against, so Kempsey went to South West Rocks and won the round robin and go to the State playoffs.

‘Urky’ lost 16 -17, ‘Red Dog’ 19 -22 and ‘Gracie’ 12-21.

So at last Mickey Mouse Pennants are over and we can get back to Championships with the semi of the fours on tomorrow.

We had a visit from Kahibah near Newcastle over the weekend and they drank us dry.

Played Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning and all involved had a ball.

Finally, there have been

AFL North Coast juniors have first Northern Heat training session

By Aiden BURGESS

AFL North Coast’s best juniors have been put through their paces during the first training session of the latest Northern Heat representative program.

The first training session is part of AFL North Coast’s Northern Heat representative program, which comprises the best players from the North Coast and North West regions in Under 15 and Under 17 squads.

The squad was put through their paces in a gruelling session in Armidale, which featured both a Yo-Yo Test and a one-kilometre time trial to help establish a baseline on the players fitness.

The bulk of the squad recorded impressive results,

with several posting efforts that are comparable to what would be expected to be seen by players looking to be drafted into the AFL.

Adding to the physical

demands on the day, the players had two short sessions that focused on ball work and movement that reflect the way that the Northern Heat squads will be expected to play.

There were a number of players who used the session as their trial, with five further inclusions into the program based on their efforts.

In addition, three older former squad members have been invited back to act as leaders and role models for the younger players.

These eight new inclusions are Hamish Anderson (Sawtell Toormina Saints), Jai Bowd (Sawtell Toormina Saints), Ray Christie (Northern Beaches Blues), Charlie Coddington (Port Macquarie Magpies), Mikey Luxton (Grafton Tigers), Cooper Taveira (Inverell Saints), Jaymus Troutman (Sawtell Toormina Saints) and Jaxon White (Nambucca Valley Lions).

Northern Heat Program Manager, Paul Taylor, said that the squad has set the bar high and will be expected to maintain this standard from now on.

“Saturday’s session was excellent, and the efforts of the players was exactly what we expect to see from players who want to challenge themselves and grow as footballers,” he said.

“At the end of the session we challenged them to exceed this standard every time we come together, and to take responsibility for their own progression by working on their fitness on their own.

“I’m confident that the players we’ve picked will respond in the right way to these challenges and will

Strikers go down valiantly in semi final clash

until the end,” he said.

By David WIGLEY

A VALIANT semi-final performance by the Nambucca Strikers ended in a narrow 2-1 loss to the Corindi Breakers last Saturday, bringing the 2022 season to a close.

Club coach Rhys Jones provided match insights into how the match unfolded.

“This was a winner take all clash, with the winner advancing to the grand final and the loser seeing an end to their season,” he said.

“Strikers started the more adventurous of the two teams, pushing the ball forward at every opportunity, stretching the Corindi defence with their width and pace.

“The back four of the Strikers were stretched for the first 30 minutes allowing both outside backs to join the midfield and exert more pressure on the opposing team.

“In games like this one you need to take your opportunities

on goal, a swift move down the right found Clay Urquhart running into space from the deep, perfectly timed ball beat the slow defence, allowing Urquhart to slot the ball home passed the keeper leaving a bewildered Corindi defence wondering - 1-0 Strikers,” Jones said.

But the Strikers’ joy was short-lived as the Breakers quickly scored to square the ledger.

“Corindi got back up and soon equalised after a goalmouth scramble which found the back of the net,” Jones said.

Despite the Strikers having the better of the half, the sides

went into the break at 1-1.

As the game wore on, tensions increased, with the crowd on the edge of their seats.

With fifteen minutes left to play,, Corindi won a corner following a long run down the left hand side.

“After a penalty area game of pinball, the ball found the back of the Strikers net - 2-1 to Corindi,” Jones said.

A Corindi player then received a red card for an offthe-ball incident straight after the goal.

“With ten men, Corindi, like so many times before, found something extra and held out

Despite the loss, Jones reflected on the season’s high points and is ready to go again next campaign.

“It was very much hard luck for the Nambucca team who played well all season only to trip up at the business end of the season.

“The team should take a lot away from this season which saw them in amongst it all year.

They were a joy to follow and everyone should be proud of how they represented themselves and the club.

“Roll on next year,” said Rhys.

help to elevate the program to exceptional standards.”

The next session for the Northern Heat will be in Coffs Harbour on Saturday, 5 November.

The Northern Heat representative AFL program comprises the best players from the North Coast and North West regions in Under 15 and Under 17 squads.

Players are selected into the program based on their performance at the Northern NSW Challenge.

This off-season program exists to extend the representative pathway for the players of the regions and provide them with a further avenue to build their game ahead of transitioning towards senior footy.

Taking a Legal Look

By Manny WOOD

Abandoned and Extinguished

JACK lives up the hill, from his neighbour, Jill.

They reside on adjoining lots, backingon to each other and access is via different street frontages.

The lots were initially subdivided 60 years ago.

The plan of subdivision identifies a right of carriageway, ten foot wide, running along Jill’s side boundary.

The right of carriageway gives Jack the right to use the right of carriageway to travel between his lot and the road in front of Jill’s lot.

However, fences were erected 35 years ago, preventing any vehicles from using the right of carriageway and trees were also planted on the carriageway.

Jill wishes to renovate her home, including the construction of a small extension which she plans to build on the right of carriageway.

Her builder discovers that her lot is burdened by the right of carriageway and Jill visits her solicitor with a view to having the carriageway extinguished.

Jill offers Jack $10,000 to consent to the removal of the carriageway.

Jack thinks that his lot will be worth considerably more money if the right of carriageway remains for his benefit and declines Jill’s offer.

Jill commences action in the Supreme Court, seeking orders that the right of carriageway has been abandoned and that it should be legally extinguished from title.

She cites legislation stating that in circumstances where a right of carriageway has not been used for 20 years, the Court has the power to remove a right of carriageway.

Although Jack has not used the carriageway himself, he discusses the issue with the previous owners.

He is informed that their children used to climb the fences and use the carriageway as a shortcut to the local general store.

He learns that the children had done this a few times a week, as recently as fifteen years ago. The children, now adults, swear affidavits regarding their use of the right of carriageway and the evidence is persuasive in convincing the Court to dismiss Jill’s claim.

Dorin’s Draws By Paul DORIN

DEAR Jasminda,

On the Couch

I went to the bottle shop last night and bought a cheap pinot grigio to add to my risotto.

When I took it to the counter, the sales assistant asked if I'd like a chilled one.

I said no, it's just for cooking. He raised his eyebrows and said, 'Of course it is.'

Should I feel insulted?

By Nambucca Valley Australian Red Cross Emergency Services

Emergency Ready Week

On 27 September the Nambucca Valley Australian Red Cross Emergency Services team hosted a free, drop-in emergency preparedness information event for our Get Ready Week at the Red Cross Teahouse in Bowra Street.

The team displayed a sample emergency kit to show people what they could pack, gave out ABC Emergency bags and shared other Red Cross ES resources with the community.

The team was joined by Jan Rooney from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA – formerly NRRA) and our thanks to our community for participating in this event.

Community Event

A Community Preparedness Talk was held at the Macksville Ex-Services Club on 5 October 2022 for members of the Nambucca/Macksville Evening VIEW Club.

Lesley Smith from Nambucca Valley Red Cross Emergency Services team presented an overview of the Red Cross RediPlan and provided handouts on the importance of preparing your individual/family Emergency Kit. For example, important documents, medication, and things which matter the most.

If your group or organisation would like to have a member of the local Red Cross Emergency Services Team come along to

talk about being prepared, please contact Lesley Smith on 0421 593 323 or Maria Quintero on 0473 670 491.

NSW SES Australian Warning System

The NSW SES moved to the Australian Warning System for flood and tsunami warnings on 30 September 2022.

The Australian Warning System (AWS) is a nationally consistent, three-tiered approach designed to make warnings clearer and assists people to take action ahead of severe weather events.

There are three levels within the AWS:

1. Advice - an incident has started. Stay up to date in case the situation changes.

· Stay informed

· Monitor conditions

· Reduced threat: return with caution

2. Watch & Act - conditions are changing and you need to start taking action now to protect you and your family. Do not enter floodwater.

· Prepare to evacuate

· Prepare to isolate

· Avoid the area

3. Emergency Warning - the highest level of warning.

You may be in danger and need to take action immediately.

· Evacuate now / Evacuate before [time]

· Shelter now

· Move to higher ground

For each level, there are a series of clear action statements to guide positive action by the community which include ‘stay informed’, ‘prepare to evacuate’ and ‘move to higher ground’.

Relative Spending: Library upgrade vs Neighbourhood Centre

DEAR News Of The Area,

THE proposed $5 million Nambucca Library upgrade would fund a reinstated Nambucca Neighbourhood Centre for the next ten years.

The $5 million grant monies therefore should set a precedent for community notfor-profit facilities in this area.

Reinstating our lapsed neighbourhood centre is another project currently being progressed.

In my opinion investment to support community health in this form is strategic

and proactive returning fiscal savings via productive community outcomes such as the ShoreTrack youth program etc.

Every surrounding area - Urunga, Bellingen, Dorrigo, Kempsey, Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour - has a Neighbourhood Centre.

It goes with the territory.

The Nambucca Valley needs parity based on its glaring demographic need and disadvantage.

We hope the State Government will be as generous in a grant allocation to reinstate our Neighbourhood Centre in 2023.

Passionately, Karin MATTHEWS, Nambucca Heads.

Dear Julie,

Mrs Julie S.

Sales assistants seem to be a lot more intrusive than they used to be.

Maybe it's a new module of training they receive.

Soon there will be mandated health announcements when you're just trying to do some basic carb-loading.

Something like: Thank you for your purchase.

You're about to consume 580 calories including saturated and trans fats, enough sodium to bring on some pretty impressive high blood pressure readings, and over 100 grams of carbs with just 2 grams of fibre.

Before you leave, I should mention the meal also includes over two tablespoons of sugar that will have you reaching a sugar high before you reach the first roundabout, and a sugar crash about 30 kilometres later.

Have a nice day.

Sometimes we just want to buy something incognito.

Perhaps you weren't convincing enough with your 'it's just for cooking' line.

Not saying enough is one of the telltale signs of lying during an interrogation, something I've gleaned from watching one too many true crime interrogations on social media (with those pesky algorithms now suggesting I may need a self-help program and/or a home detention ankle monitor).

Next time you go to the bottleshop, add some believable flourishes to your purchase.

Arrive wearing an apron and a flustered expression.

Head to the counter with confidence.

Announce that you are making white wine braised ribs and though you have the cream, the salted butter, and were just in the process of making the gremolata (that will throw them), you were clean out of pinot grigio.

Then, go home and make a toasted cheese sandwich and pour yourself a nice glass of wine chilled down with two stainless steel reusable ice cubes.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

BEST ON THE BOX

MONDAY THE BLOCK NBN, 7.30pm

FRIDAY THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW

TEN, 8.30pm

Lovable chat show host Graham Norton (above) always gets a superb collection of guests, but he might just have outdone himself in this season 30 premiere. For starters, Hollywood icon Jamie Lee Curtis drops by to discuss Halloween Ends. Comedy royalty Eric Idle speaks about surviving cancer, but does so with his usual irreverence and humour. If that’s not enough, the always-delightful David Tennant and rising star Lydia West also take a seat on the famous red couch (it’s finally back!) to discuss their latest projects on stage and screen. To cap it all off is this week’s musical guest is the inimitable Robbie Williams.

It’s time for the couples to get their hands even dirtier as Landscape Week kicks off on The Block. There’s plenty of mud-slinging on display as Ankur and Sharon are once again in the budget spotlight, while Jenny almost comes to blows in a disagreement with her landscaper. It’s an epic undertaking – transforming and redesigning 10 acres of backyard in seven days – but the Blockheads clearly aren’t afraid of a challenge. With pressure mounting as auction day approaches, it’s understandably tense when host Scott Cam (right) and his offsider Shelley Craft arrive to get the lay of the land and check out progress.

WEDNESDAY FISK

ABC, 9pm

It’s wonderful to see series creator Kitty Flanagan (right) showcase her many talents in this warm-hearted and deliciously awkward comedy. The second season kicks off as Helen Tudor-Fisk (Flanagan) deals with a nuisance claim made by a dead woman’s lodger. While the legal probate cases continue to bring fresh colour each week, this season we also get to see more of the ensemble cast including Julia Zemiro, Marty Sheargold and Aaron Chen. These hilarious regulars go toe to toe with a who’s who of Australian comedy guest stars. This week, Denise Scott returns as book club member Leslie, while Marg Downey is back as professional interlocutor Lindy.

SPORT Nambucca River Bridge Club

By John BUGANEY

THIS week we played our usual Thursday Session with a social game of bridge on Saturday.

Once again we had two of our newest players

participating and they are looking forward to having some additional new players joining them soon.

The game on Thursday was very closely contested with 4 of the partnerships getting over 50 per cent.

However, the eventual

winners were Jennifer and Stuart Thorne with 55.50 per cent and 0.18 masterpoints.

Second place went to Gillian Buganey and Robyn Jones (a new player), with 55.21 per cent and 0.13 masterpoints.

Saturday's social game resulted in Jennifer and Stuart

Thorne winning by a slim margin, with the game going down to the last board.

For further enquiries about our free lessons, new session about to start, or our session times, please contact Gillian on 041 654 225 or e-mail nambuccabridge@gmail.com.

Ready to Crow

By Mick BIRTLES

The iconic football club had closed up shop for a number of reasons in 2018 and there were many doubters that it could be resurrected.

Now, with the 2022 season behind them, the Nambucca Roosters are continuing the rebuilding of the club and looking forward to the 2023 season.

This Week News Of The Area spoke to the re-elected President of the Roosters, Peter Bellden, the Second Vice President, Harry Jarrett, and Register Jeff Cork about the year that was and the future of the club.

When asked about the biggest challenge of resurrecting the club for the 2022 season Peter Bellden said, “Our player base had spread out to other clubs over the years we were not in the comp however the desire to play for their home team

and where they had played as juniors brought many of them back.

“While there were challenges in getting the club off the ground it was certainly worthwhile, especially when we saw our under 18s and reserve grade teams make the finals.”

Vice President Harry Jarrett said, “The Indigenous Round at the end of the season was a highlight as it was so well organised and the public got right behind it.”

Registrar Jeff Cork added, “It was great to see some of the Roosters legends lace up the boots and run on for a few games as Jeff Batten, Mick Ronan and Warwick Jones provided inspiration for the younger blokes with their experience and flare on the paddock.”

Looking forward to the year ahead, Peter, Harry and Jeff agreed that they would like to see the first grade side make the finals in 2023.

They all concluded the most important thing in 2023 is to build on the hard work of the last twelve months to have the foundations of a club that will be around for the next 100 years.
