Projects approved in round nine of the grants program include free or subsidised driver education for disadvantaged and Indigenous youths, a courtesy bus to reduce drink driving in Regional NSW, a program to help newly arrived refugees navigate NSW road rules and training to improve road safety for children with disabilities as passengers in motor vehicles.

One of the problems that disadvantaged, disengaged or vulnerable young people in our community have is getting the required driving hours up to enable them to earn their drivers licence.

The Valla Expressions art show is on now

q Julie Collins’ patchwork and sewing will be on show.

FROM Page 1 Valla artists.

“It has been tremendously successful in previous years, and we are hoping for an enthusiastic response once again,” she said.

Last year’s Valla Expressions opening day had over 100 people attend.

“It is a fantastic showcase of some of the local artistic talent in the area.

“It is looked forward to every year.”

A philanthropic benefit of the exhibition comes from every artist donating ten percent of all sales to the Valla Beach Community Association for use in local projects.

“These include upkeep and improvements to the Valla Beach Hall, upgrades and improvements to Anderson Park, and a permanent stage for Valla Reserve,” said Julie.

The artists include Christine Campbell (painting and ceramics), Peta Coe (painting and paper sculpture), Julie Collins (patchwork and sewing using Australian designs) Carol Easton and Chris Hewgill (photography), Michaela Kloeckner and Lyn Walsh (ceramics), Karen Tollan (jewellery), Cathy Edwards and Lorraine Francis (painting), Richard Wrobel (driftwood lamps) and Steve Ball (wood turning).

The exhibition is a team effort, with the setup and staffing all done by the artists themselves.

“Everyone pitches in.”

The exhibition will have two artists on duty for each morning and afternoon session.

Setting the scene outside the hall, artworks will be hung on the fences to increase exhibition space, and at the entrance to the hall Valla Beach’s Village Pottery will be showcasing their water coolers and pots.

“We open at 10am and close at 5pm.

WITH predictions for a scorching summer on the horizon, SafeWork NSW is urging workers and businesses to start planning for how they will stay safe.

Employers have the primary duty of care for employees and are encouraged to develop a workplace heat management plan in consultation with their health and safety representatives (HSR) and workers to ensure everyone stays safe when the temperature rises.

Tips on developing a heat management plan and managing extreme heat in the workplace can be found on the SafeWork website.

Heat related illnesses happen when the body starts to overheat due to working too hard to cool itself down.

Symptoms can include a range of progressive conditions, such as dehydration, fainting, heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Employers who have workers completing tasks outside must do their best to eliminate extended periods of sun exposure.

This could be by providing shade, rotating tasks to reduce exposure, scheduling work to cooler times of the day and providing personal protective equipment such as hats, long sleeve shirts and sunscreen.

“As the weather gets warmer it’s important businesses and workers start to talk about the procedures they will use to keep everyone safe from heat-related illnesses,” Head of SafeWork Trent Curtin said.

“We don’t want to see anyone needing

medical attention due to heat exposure.

“Workers are reminded to listen to their body when the temperature rises and to drink plenty of water.

“It is vital you do not replace water with soft drinks, energy drinks or coffee as these can dehydrate you further.

“If the weather becomes too hot and can’t be avoided then the job might have to be stopped.

“Worker safety must come first.”

Any worker who feels their workplace is unsafe can anonymously report their concerns directly to SafeWork NSW on 13 10 50 or via the ‘Speak Up Save Lives’ app.

Open Tuesday to Sunday Midday till 2pm Dinner 5:30pm till 8pm

Community groups gather to lament loss of forests

By Andrew VIVIAN

COMMUNITY members from Friends of Newry, Friends of Pine Creek, Friends of Kalang Headwaters and the Forest Ecology Alliance joined with Gumbaynggirr Elders at Newry State Forest on Sunday, December 10 to mourn what they describe as the destruction of Gumbaynggirr forests, while building hope for the future.

Indigenous Elder Uncle Micklo Jarrett welcomed the group to Gumbaynggirr country.

The event included reflections by Jo Armytage from the Friends of Newry group and Uncle Micklo and Uncle Bud Marshall, and rituals led by Reverend Dr Jason John.

The afternoon was organised by the Uniting Church’s Forest Advocacy Ministry as a part of its

‘Koala Chaplaincy’ project, in collaboration with Friends of Newry.

“It’s a blessing to be on this land,” Ms Armytage said.

“There is a pain that goes with defending the forests, but whenever I gather together with others, I feel my faith in humanity restored.

“We can make a difference, working together in love.”

Uncle Micklo said he loved the land because his ancestors had “lived here for thousands and thousands of years”.

“This land is a part of me,” he said.

“It is our father, our mother, our saviour, our everything.”

“Everything that we have in our life comes from Earth and the animals that live on the Earth. “The old people always said, never take more than you need.

“Our ancestors have

always looked after the place.”

The Koala Chaplaincy project is focussed around the area of the proposed Great Koala National Park and aims to care for forest defenders, support collaboration between groups working to protect the forests, and advocate for the care of forests to reflect the unceded sovereignty of First Nations peoples.

Known as the ‘Forest Chaplain’, Rev Dr Jason John is available to provide confidential listening and debriefing to individuals who are actively engaged in defending the forests.

His role is funded by the Quaker-administered Jan de Voogd Peace Fund and the Uniting Church, and the project is building a range of support resources.

“Hearing people's passion and commitment brought to mind the often-

neglected Hebrew dreaming story, where God makes an Adam out of the Adamah, an earthling from the Earth,

created for the rest of the garden: to serve and protect it,” he said.

“It’s a privilege to be

supported by the Quakers and Uniting Church to support those people who have taken up that call.”

They’re doing so as part of an initiative to start their own sweetcorn landraces, initiated

by The Gourmet Garden School in Raleigh back in September.

A ‘landrace’ is a domesticated, locally adapted species of animal or plant

that develops over successive generations.

“Any crop grown over and over in one place can become landraced when the seeds are saved and resown,” Mr Earth, the founder of The Gourmet Garden School, told News Of The Area.

The benefit of cultivating a landrace is that the plants

become more suited to local conditions.

“Consequently, our crops grow better, faster, easier, with less fuss, less pests and less fertiliser.”

Many people who grow some food at home choose one or maybe two types of the vegetable they want to eat, and not everybody saves seeds.

“Many seed savers know that to ensure ‘true to type’ progeny from their parent plants, most heirloom vegetables need to be grown separately, to prevent genetic crossing.

“This is important for heirloom seed saving, because isolating and in-breeding them is what gave rise to the stable ‘heirloom’ variety.

“But this ‘purity’ comes at a cost, a gradual loss in resilience and genetic capacity to adapt,” he said.

Landrace gardening does the exact opposite and deliberately mixes different varieties together for the purpose of cross-breeding and boosting genetic diversity.

“All up we’re growing eight different varieties of sweetcorn, sourced from fifteen different locations around the country.

“The seed has been deliberately sourced from as many climates as possible to ensure genetic variation,” said Mr Earth.

“We’ve even got seeds from Tasmania, where the corn is adapted for short seasons and

cold/wet harvest conditions.

“Those types of adaptations would enable this mix to quickly adapt to the cold conditions up on the Dorrigo Plateau.”

The participants all met in September to count and evenly distribute the different varieties so that every participant received the same number and same variety of seeds in their starter pack.

It sounds like a novelty, mixing everything up and seeing what thrives, but Mr Earth reminds us, “It’s actually how we all used to grow food, back when every community grew food and before globalisation.”

The Great Australian Landrace is a not-for-profit initiative and all participants are sharing their progress through monthly zoom calls and have pledged to share their seeds with friends and neighbours to share the love post-harvest.

ENHANCING your food security - growing your own brekkie, lunch and hightea - is a smart move in the modern world.

Not only does it mean low food miles, it can provide you with on-hand succulent snacks or a full blown flavoursome meal.

If you’re turning into the new year with a growth mindset, you might fancy designing your yard to maximise food production.

Permaculture designing is all about working with nature to get the most out of every plant or element, as well as being mindful of the world in which we share.

Peter Lewis, President of Coffs Regional Community Gardens Association, shares key points about permaculture you can put into practice to get going.

“The most important tool in every garden is the pencil,” Peter told News Of The Area.

“Good designing is about trying ideas out on paper.

“Easier to move a tree by redrawing it than digging it out in five years when you find it’s shading the veggies in winter.”

The next most important element is “where is north?”.

“Every other element can be altered, except where the sun shines,” he said.

It’s a good idea to create either a two of three dimension map of the site.

For 2D, get a Google Earth photo of the site and print it out a few times on A3 size paper.

Or, using a large sheet of polystyrene, create a 3D layout which lets you see how shadows, frosts, wind or run-off might affect your garden.

The 3D is good as a hands-on practical way of moving elements around.

“Shine a torch across the design to see how the shadows land,” said Peter.

Peter’s ten key design points 1: Vision - what would your perfect garden look and feel like?

2: Create a base map, putting in existing structures, paths, gardens and trees.

Include neighbours and their structures, trees or public spaces that may impact your site.

3: Site assessment and consultation with family and friends. You might get agreement with neighbours to plant cooperatively or build trellis or fencing that can be useful to both of you.

q The ultimate urban food pantry. In her Park Beach garden, permaculture advocate and author Linda Woodrow takes food production to the next level.

4: Do sector analysis - where does the sun shine in the morning in winter? Are there buildings that shade the site? Is there prevailing wind or water runoff?

5: Zoning plan - in permaculture terms Zone Zero is you, your sense of contentment and purpose.

Zone 1 is the garden veggies you’re going to access the most, herbs, veggies you’ll put in everyday meals.

Zone 5 are things you’ll access maybe once every year or even longer.

An olive tree gets picked once a year.

Could it be planted as a street tree or on a reserve or an easement and shared?

6: A bubble map is the written explanation of ideas or elements on an overlay sheet. You can alter these

things later as you reconsider your design.

7: Your concept plan may be done as a group in the workshop but can be done as a ‘pitch’ to family, friends or clients.

8: Review and edit - take out the ideas that didn’t work. Remove the Bunya tree that will drop ten kilograms of nuts on your car etc.

9: Do a detailed design that you can use for years to come (modify as you go). Remember a plan is a guide not a doctrine.

10: Present your finished design to show how clever you are.

Bowraville artist’s mural finds new home

By Andrea FERRARI

BOWRAVILLE-BASED artist Nelli Gallop has delivered an extraordinary mural to its new home at the Coffs Harbour Showground.

The renovated amenities block used by the Coffs Coast Jump Club (CCJC) now displays Nelli’s large-scale artwork.

The mural was commissioned by club board member Ali Childs and the CCJC. NOTA met up with Ali on Tuesday 5 December to witness Nelli delivering her finished artwork to the amenities block.

As the mural was brought out panel by panel from Nelli’s vehicle, to stand all four lined-up and leaning temporarily on the building’s exterior wall, Ali’s smile was

beaming.

As the mural was brought out panel by panel from Nelli’s vehicle, to stand all four linedup and leaning temporarily on the building’s exterior wall, Ali’s smile was beaming.

“There’s so much in it, it’s just incredible,” she said.

“More amazing than I could have imagined.”

Resplendent in the blue of the ocean and sky, a whale and her calf are central to the scene.

“The whale has been channelling a really beautiful energy, giving me a feeling of really grounded contentment every time I look into her eye,” mural artist Nelli told News Of The Area.

In the bush calendar there is a connection between the migration and calving of whales and the flowering and seeding of the wattle.

“When it (the wattle) is flowering the whales are going up the coast (north) and when it’s seeding they’re coming back.

“It’s more exciting when it’s flowering so I’ve left it that way,” said Nelli.

“The ocean, for the Gumbaynggirr people, is their totem.

“How could I do a mural in Coffs Harbour and not feature an ocean?”

Explaining some of the symbolism within her work, Nelli points out detail to the left of the mural.

“The journey coming over Split Solitary with the lighthouse and the Seven Sisters above hold a significance as told in the Seven Sisters story.”

There's also coastal banksia and stingrays, and on the far right of the mural

there’s a magpie - each element telling a story.

“The magpie has a shadow side about being true to your face and not talking about people behind

q Nelli Gallop proudly sees her mural adorning the amenities block wall.

their back,” Nelli said.

“For me, this mural called for the magpie, I never normally choose it.”

The inclusion of a scarlet honeyeater, a threatened

species, is a hallmark of Nelli’s work.

“I like to include one threatened species to acknowledge that we need to take care of Country.”

RDAMNC Ignite Minis to consult on regional business issues

By Andrew VIVIAN

REGIONAL Development Australia Mid North Coast (RDAMNC) have announced the ‘Ignite Minis’ event series, coming to Taree, Kempsey and Bellingen in February 2024, to enable consultation on local issues facing the Mid North Coast.

The events will provide detail on RDAMNC’s Regional Strategic Plan in line with the Regional Investment Framework (RIF).

The RIF is a new approach to how the Australian Government delivers regional investment.

Key topics to be covered in the events are early childhood education and childcare, the Regional Innovation Program, and migration.

Charles Sturt University (CSU) and RDAMNC are working together to conduct a skills audit of the Mid North Coast and will deliver voluntary focus

groups in the last session.

The team is interested in understanding where there are gaps for the region, in what skill sets, and what the future needs are for industries to be sustainable in the long term.

Courtney Tune, Founder of the Alt Collective, which operates out of Sawtell, will be one of the speakers at the Bellingen event.

“I’ve been working with Regional Development Australia on entrepreneurship,” he said.

“We’re now focusing on innovations with the ability to scale up, such as medical and tech devices and housing solutions.

“We are looking at running six to eight week programs to help innovators get their products to market.”

RDAMNC CEO Madeleine Lawler said, “RDAMNC is taking the opportunity to tour the region to collaborate with the people on the Mid North Coast on some of our pressing

issues.

“Our Ignite Mini sessions will help us to get to grips with early childhood education and care, migration options for labour shortages, skill needs in the region, renewable energy and incubating small business development.”

Visit https://rdamnc.org.au/projects/ ignite-minis-2024/ for more information. q Courtney Tune will share his expertise about innovation at Bellingen.

Rural Australians twice as likely to die from preventable causes THE further an Australian lives from an urban centre, the lower their life expectancy.

They are also twice as likely to die from preventable illness.

The latest research shows that rural men are 2.5 times and women 2.8 times more likely to die from potentially avoidable causes than those in urban areas.

This statistic, along with demographic information, health risk factors, health outcomes, burden of disease, mortality and morbidity and health service funding and access, are some of the data provided in the National Rural Health Alliance Rural Health in Australia Snapshot 2023.

The snapshot also provides data on health workforce distribution in rural, regional, and remote Australia.

“The statistics show that the further you are from an urban setting, the more likely you may die of disease due to various factors, including the tyranny of distance and workforce shortages,” said

Friday, 5 January 2024

Alliance Chief Executive Susi Tegen.

“Fit for purpose funding is critical to ensure that the necessary policy and infrastructure is in place,” she added.

The Snapshot shows that small rural towns of less than 5000 people, have access to almost 60 percent fewer health professionals than major cities per capita, indicating continuing workforce and access challenges in rural areas.

Major cities have more choice and more General Practitioners and other health practitioners providing primary care compared to large regional centres, small rural towns, remote areas and very remote areas.

Many rural people have no access to primary healthcare services within an hour’s drive from their home.

They use Medicare up to 50 percent less than those in cities, indicating that people rather not go through the difficult process of a long journey and long waiting time to access health care.

As a result, the burden of disease in remote areas is 1.4

times that of major cities.

“There is clear evidence that per-person spending on healthcare is not equitable, and that this inequity is contributing to poorer health outcomes in rural areas,” said Ms Tegen.

“The biggest deficits are in accessing primary health care which then leads to higher rates of costly and potentially preventable hospitalisations and increased hospital expenditure.

This is a sad reflection on the rest of Australia, when not every citizen has the same access to a basic healthcare need.

“We welcome the Government’s reforms and look forward to a rural health system reform that reflects population health needs and place-based and led planning and service delivery, to address this discrepancy of health care access,” she said.

The National Rural Health Alliance (the Alliance) comprises 50 national organisations committed to improving the health and wellbeing of the seven million people in rural and remote Australia.

Forestry Corporation’s Partnerships Leader Ryan Ellis said there’s been a steady pace in facility improvements over the past year, helping the public to make the most of their family day trips.

“We encourage people to visit State forests during their travels, you can take the family dog, pack a picnic lunch and find your own special place off busy welltravelled routes,” Ryan said.

“Sealy Lookout is an award-winning tourism attraction and always a hit, the best place to start any holiday by getting your bearings and setting off in any direction. You can see up

“These sites are just the tip of the iceberg for family friendly locations on the North Coast,” he said.

Visitors should visit the Forestry Corporation website and make a note of closures, notices and Solid Fuel Fire Bans before heading out, stick to formed roads and trails and be mindful of other forest users and changing conditions.

With more than twomillion hectares of State q Jambaal Dreamin’ launches its new single, Jagunda.

forests across NSW, there are endless places to discover and experiences to share.

“Our State forests have spectacular scenery and award-winning visitor areas.

I encourage everyone to get out and discover their new favourite places and make the most of the favourable conditions these holidays,” Ryan said.

“Visitors can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram for up-to-date information on places to visit.”

30th Salvos Toy Run a super success

q Santa Jim, a big hit at the Mid North Coast Harley Owners Group Salvation Army Toy Run.

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Mid North Coast Harley Owners Group (MNC HOG) Salvation Army Toy Run on Sunday, 10 December has been hailed a huge success.

Following the 30th Toy Run, Mid North Coast Harley Owners Group director Dennis Pearce said, “215 bike riders and their pillions took part in this spectacular event.

“The riders and their bikes went to a lot of effort to look the part on the day, in particular Santa Jim and Head Elf Belinda,” he said.

Pastor Andrew Van Gaalen from the Salvation Army told NOTA, “The results of donations to the MNC HOG Toy Run are amazing.

A total of $14330.00 was raised, which does not include any credits deposited directly into the Salvos bank account.

“Without the help of the MNC

Mr Pearce was very proud of the efforts of his group of bike enthusiasts.

“This is an outstanding result

of which the entire chapter can be proud of, not just MNC HOG members but the general motorcycle community, Ashley and the V-Twins team and fellow HOG chapters who supported the event,” he said.

Senior student performer Logan How was delighted to welcome the audience and perform on stage with his peers in a satirical retrospective skit based on parental perspectives of ‘over-achieving’.

“I aim to be a dramatic actor on

the stage, this is a great opportunity to start that journey,” Logan told NOTA. For information on the Encore Performing Arts Academy schedule for 2024, visit https://msha.ke/ encoreacademy.

‘Encore Showcase’ celebrates a year of success

By Jen HETHERINGTON

SATURDAY morning 9 December marked the Encore Performing Arts Academy inaugural end of year ‘Showcase’ performance at the Nambucca Community and Arts Centre.

Principal Hannah Date invited the community to attend their ‘Encore Showcase’ and though the event opened a little late as the students worked through a final rehearsal, Hannah was more than pleased to report, “I'm just so thrilled that our showcase was well received.

“Not only that but parents, families and other audience members are appreciating the benefits of learning through drama, music and theatre.

“Lots of parents were commenting about how much growth they've seen in the children, which is what it is all about, growing in confidence and collaborative skills.”

A poised poetic solo introduction

was delivered by young student Kyeh Dreyer after an interlude of ambient guitar instrumentals soothed the seating audience, which consisted of more than 70 individuals, visitors and family members pleased to be attending the free performance.

STUARTS Point, Scotts Head and Eungai Public Schools have rounded out the year with well-attended presentation events held during the last few weeks.

Students, staff, parents and extended families gathered to celebrate the dedicated achievements of their tight knit graduates, and farewell those who will transition to the wider world of high school in 2024.

On Friday morning, 8 December, Eungai Public School Principal Dylan Harry was delighted to announce the school’s 2024 student leaders.

“Congratulations to our Captain, Harjas and Vice captains, Alyss and Tyler.

“I know they will do an outstanding job in 2024 as our school leaders.”

Mr Harry then went on to thank the many businesses and organisations that offer their wonderful support.

Nambucca Valley Mayor Rhonda Hoban was on hand to deliver the ‘Judith Burnes Perpetual Trophy’ to a delighted Charlotte Robinson.

After their presentation day on 7 December, staff at Stuarts Point Public School were pleased to report, “We are always blown away by the donations that flow into our school supporting our annual Presentation Awards Ceremony. “It is truly wonderful that our school attracts such support when it comes to recognising student achievements.

“Thank you, we are lucky to have

such a caring community.”

Scotts Head Public School’s presentation day was held on 5 December, with all students and staff delighted with the learning and cultural outcomes.

The Yarrahapinni Branch of CWA offered their annual awards at all three events, distributed as two for each school, the Year 7 CWA Education Awards.

President Diana Oakes offered words of congratulations and encouragement to the students.

“Your journey into higher education will be daunting, and exciting, just remember that these experiences will open the doors to your future.”

Enrolments are now open for 2024.

Macksville CWA ramp up Christmas pudding drive MERRIE Hunt, the President of the Macksville Branch of the Country Women's Association (CWA), has been making her fine Christmas puddings for sale for several years.

A runaway success, this year she took it up a notch with the help of fellow CWA members and the Macksville Ex-Services Club.

Several cooking sessions were held in the Club's commercial kitchen and Merrie and her teams were able to turn out more than 70 Christmas puddings, small and large, to fulfil orders from as far away as Sydney.

Members report the exercise was time consuming, but enormous fun - sourcing the ingredients, combining them to the secret recipe, measuring into clean calico cloths and boiling for three hours, then cooling on racks before wrapping for despatch or collection.

The exercise netted around $1,400 and expenses were kept down by the generosity of local businesses who donated goods.

“Thank you so much Woolworths, Foodworks, Macksville Hotel, Macksville Newsagency, and of course the Ex-Services Club,” a

club spokesperson told NOTA. At the last session, Samantha from the Ex-Services Club accepted a pudding for staff to enjoy.

It is exercises like this and the stalls held on Wallace Street, at the

Showgrounds, at Scotts Head, and at the recent Bowraville Festival, that ensure CWA Macksville continues to be a vibrant community presence able to support initiatives such as their recent donations to six local

schools, and Christmas Lunch at Jimmy's Kitchen.

“Thank you everyone for your support throughout 2023 and a Merry Christmas to all!”

of any generation to exchange or return an item to stores.

“This data shows us that if you’re spending big over the festive season, always keep your receipts in case a present ends up on someone’s naughty list,” Mr Koch said.

“Retailers have their own returns and exchange policies, but, in most cases, they’ll require you to have a valid proof of purchase.”

Some good news is that around 13.8 percent of people say they donate unwanted presents to charity. Baby Boomers are most likely to donate their unwanted presents to charity (17 percent), followed by Gen X (14 percent), Millennials (12.8 percent) and Gen Z (7.3 percent).

“It’s going to be a difficult Christmas for many families due to financial pressures hitting them from every angle, so it’s great to know that many people will donate

their unwanted presents to the less fortunate at a time when they need it the most,” Mr Koch said.

“Many charities will accept donations in the lead-up to Christmas, but it’s best to check if there are any limitations on the types of items they’ll welcome.

“But, don’t just go dumping presents at charity bins; ensure that you’re following the rules and guidelines.

“Help the charities who are assisting those most in need during the Christmas season.

“To avoid throwing your money down the drain, consider asking people what kinds of presents they want, participating in Secret Santa or investing in gift cards and vouchers so people can buy what they want,” Mr Koch said.

“The last thing we want to see is Aussies wasting their money on presents that may end up in the bin.”

Marine Rescue, a lifetime to protect and we urge all boaters to boat this summer like your life depends on it,” the Commissioner said.

26 search and rescue missions

were completed across nine Mid North Coast units, while in the Hunter/Central Coast 99 search and rescue missions were undertaken across eight local units.

Survey reveals Australia is a nation of regifters at Christmas time

CHRISTMAS is meant to be the season of giving, but new research from Compare the Market reveals that a surprisingly high number of Aussies don’t keep the gifts they receive over the festive period.

In fact, one in five Aussies admit to regifting duplicate presents or gifts they don’t like at Christmas.

Around sixteen percent of respondents who said they regift do so immediately, while 83.9 percent wait and regift after some time has passed.

The data found that Millennials are the hardest to please with gifts at Christmas, with 23.8 percent of the cohort admitting to regifting their unwanted presents.

In contrast, Gen Z is least likely to regift (15.6 percent), followed by Baby Boomers (19.3 percent) and Gen X (23.1 percent).

Compare the Market’s Economic Director, David Koch, said it was a surprising statistic, given that the average Australian will splash $715 on Christmas presents in 2023.

“Christmas can put a lot of financial stress on Aussies who are already battling the cost-of-living crisis and it’s quite surprising to see that so many people admit to giving away the presents they receive,” Mr Koch said.

“In a time where every dollar counts, and we’re seeing prices increase across the board, people may be shocked to know that many of their lovingly purchased and prepared gifts are going to someone else.

“Personally, I think regifting isn’t in the spirit of Christmas as some one has thought about, and paid for, something they think will

be special for you.

“But my adult kids reckon I’m old fashioned and believe it’s better to exchange a gift for something you like or save money by regifting to someone who may appreciate it more.”

According to the latest findings, 59.1 percent of Australians say they don’t even keep the presents they receive if they don’t like them or when receiving duplicate items.

Keeping the shopping receipt handy is advised, with 5.9 percent of people admitting they return their gift and 8.9 percent preferring to exchange them for something they like better.

The rate is much higher for Gen Z, with 13.5 percent of the cohort saying they return unwanted presents and 15.6 percent exchanging them for something better at the store.

At the other end of the scale, Baby Boomers are the least likely

MARINE Rescue NSW volunteers across the state completed 293 search and rescue missions in November, including 88 emergency responses.

Marine Rescue NSW Commissioner Alex Barrell said 69 percent of missions in November were for mechanical or fuel issues which can quickly become lifethreatening if a vessel runs aground or overturns.

“Unfortunately, what we've seen during November is that far too many boaters are getting into difficulty for what we class as avoidable incidents, things like running out of fuel and flat batteries and that's really disappointing from our side of things,” Commissioner Barrell said.

With large numbers expected to hit NSW waterways this holiday season, Commissioner Barrell is

pleading with boaters to ensure their vessel and safety equipment is in good working order.

“Marine Rescue New South Wales is urging all boaters before they head out on the water to make sure that they check their equipment, make sure that they've got enough fuel for their voyage and importantly, they Log On with their local Marine Rescue base,” he said.

Almost ten percent of responses

by Marine Rescue NSW volunteers last month were for capsized or grounded vessels while eleven missing persons searches were conducted.

Marine Rescue NSW Radio Operators managed 16,736 calls in November including six MAYDAYs and two PAN PANs. There were 4,699 Log Ons last month, which was up on October,

with Marine Rescue NSW volunteers keeping watch over more than 17,700 people on board those Logged On vessels.

Commissioner Barrell was pleased to see growth in the number of people Logging On with the Service.

“We're urging boaters and paddlers alike to Log On with Marine Rescue NSW before they head out on the water.

“We know that it saves vital minutes in the time of need and we know that if you don't return as planned, we'll come looking for you,” he said.

Commissioner Barrell said boaters and paddlers can Log On with Marine Rescue NSW either via the free Marine Rescue app or VHF Marine Channel 16.

BCU Bank and Lifeline join forces for mental health

q BCU Bank will support Lifeline North Coast to deliver their essential services to the communities in the north coast region of New South Wales.

BCU Bank has announced a new community partnership with Lifeline North Coast, a leading provider of crisis support and suicide prevention services.

BCU Bank will support Lifeline North Coast, one of the 40 Lifeline centres operating across Australia, to deliver their essential services to the communities in the north coast region of New South Wales.

Lifeline North Coast operates a 24/7 telephone crisis line, as well as providing face-to-face counselling, community education, and suicide

bereavement support.

BCU Bank General Manager Mark Smyth said the partnership reflects the bank’s commitment to social responsibility. “As a customer-owned bank, we exist to support our members and communities and we’re proud to partner with Lifeline North Coast and contribute to their vital work. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of people who are struggling,” Mark said.

As part of this partnership, BCU will be supporting Lifeline North Coast’s signature community

event, the Out of the Shadows walk, a national event that aims to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention and remember those who have been lost to suicide.

The BCU Bank team will also get hands on with their support and volunteer with Lifeline North Coast in various ways, such as helping in the warehouse to organise donated goods for local Lifelines stores and participating in community training programs.

Lifeline North Coast General Manager Angela Martin welcomed BCU Bank’s support.

“As an organisation Lifeline is determined to ensure that no person has to face their darkest moments alone.

“Like BCU we have a long history in this region and have been proudly serving our local community for more than 35 years.

“Lifeline’s crisis support line receives a call from someone in need every 30 seconds.

“Without the support of our community partners like BCU Bank, we wouldn’t be able to support people who are experiencing crisis.”

Whilst exercise is essential for our animals, there are simple adjustments we can make to be sure they aren’t becoming overexerted in the heat.

Opt for early morning or late evening walks rather than during the hottest part of the day.

This will also ensure that the pavement you’re walking on is at its coolest, as during hot summer days, roads and sidewalks can become blistering hot - posing a risk to your pets’ paws.

If it still feels too hot to go for a walk in the evening, consider doing some training or playing some games

inside at home rather than expose your pet to high temperatures, especially if you have a senior pet or a brachycephalic breed.

To protect sensitive skin, consider dog-safe footwear and invest in petfriendly sunscreen for your dog’s nose, ears and face, to minimise the chance of sunburn, especially for lightcoloured companions.

“If you’re not sure whether the footpath is too hot to walk your dog, we recommend following the five-second rule.

“Simply place the back of your hand on a surface for five seconds. If you can’t

handle the heat, your dog can’t either, which means you should wait until things cool down before venturing out,” added Dr Arnott.

As we keep cool this summer, it’s important to remember that we’re likely not the only ones feeling the heat. By incorporating these tips into our routine, we can safeguard our pets from soaring temperatures and ensure a safe and enjoyable summer period for all members of the family.

If you suspect your animal might be suffering from heat related stress, contact your nearest veterinarian as soon as possible.

Keep cool: Helping our furry and feathered friends beat the heat this summer WITH summer heat in full swing, RSPCA NSW is urging pet owners to take the necessary steps to keep their companions as cool and comfortable as possible.

Just like us, our pets can easily become heat-stressed or dehydrated in warm weather, which is why it’s important to provide them with access to fresh, cool water, at all times.

Multiple water bowls around your house or yard are ideal, as they eliminate the risk of your pet going thirsty if they finish their supply, or if a bowl is accidentally knocked over.

Place the water bowls out of direct sunlight, so that the water stays cool.

In addition to plenty of water, cool retreats for your pets are a must.

Whether it’s a shaded corner of the backyard or a comfortable spot near a fan inside, supplying our pets with relaxing spaces where they can escape the heat is the best way to keep them

safe in hot weather.

“Shallow paddling pools for dogs to splash around in or frozen water bottles for pocket pets to lean against make for great hot-weather enrichment,” said RSPCA NSW Chief Veterinarian Dr Liz Arnott. Pocket pets are particularly susceptible to high temperatures, which is why it’s crucial to ensure their enclosures are in shade and have good ventilation, or that, ideally, they are brought inside whenever possible to protect them from the heat.

In the heat and humidity, make sure to monitor the health and behaviour of your pocket pets.

For example, a lethargic, stretched out bunny with warm ears could be a sign that your rabbit is suffering from heat stress.

This is a medical emergency and veterinary attention should be sought if you are concerned.

In addition to pocket pets, other small animals, such as birds, will also benefit from

being kept in shade or being brought inside on hot days.

Poultry, such as chickens, are also affected by rises in temperature and humidity.

“If you keep chickens, it’s important to ensure that their coop has proper ventilation that allows hot air to escape and fresh, cool air to enter and circulate,” suggests Dr Arnott.

“Frozen berries or corn also make for excellent cooling treats for chickens to peck on as they thaw. “There are a variety of resources online that share great frozen treat recipes we can make for our pets over summer to assist in keeping them cool.”

For dogs, cats and pocket pets alike, summer grooming is vital for guaranteeing optimum health and happiness, all season long.

For cats and rabbits, gentle brushing will aid in removing excess hair whilst also reducing the risk of hairballs or obstructions.

For dogs, grooming needs vary by breed.

Bowraville wins Tidy Towns awards for third time in recent years

By Ned COWIE ROBYN McGinley and Wurinda Gill addressed Nambucca Valley Council at the final general meeting for 2023 to report on their recent success in the Keep Australia Beautiful NSW Tidy Towns and the Young Legends competitions, where Bowraville won its Tidy Towns population category and Ms Gill won the Young Legend Award.

“Mujaay Ganma Foundation Aboriginal Corporation won the Biodiversity Award for the Yuraal Native Community Garden,” Ms Gill told Council before acknowledging and thanking the Nambucca Valley Council for their support of her entry into the competition and their donation of the land used to create the Yuraal garden in Bowraville.

Ms McGinley explained

how Bowraville had won its Tidy Town category, for a town population under 1500 people, but was frustratingly pipped at the post to receive runner up in the overall category to this year’s 2023 winner, Bathurst.

“Nambucca Valley Phoenix, Landcare and Health One’s mural received Highly Commended for their categories,” she said.

According to Keep Australia Beautiful NSW’S website, the Sustainable Communities - Tidy Towns and Sustainable Cities awards programs have been running since 1981 to encourage, recognise and reward local communities, councils, businesses and schools for their outstanding efforts to reduce litter, increase recycling and beautify and improve their local environment.

This is the third time in the past five years that Bowraville has triumphed in its category, Ms McGinley later told NOTA. At the meeting, she

thanked Council for its assistance in helping to tidy Bowraville to ensure the town was a worthy recipient of any Tidy Town awards.

“I’m here speaking on behalf of our next year’s entry, trying to encourage Council to give us more support.

“Bowra’s entry team consists of me, supported by the Bowraville Technology

Centre, collating all the great projects the town has worked on during the year and all the people who are in charge of those programs,” said Ms Mc Ginley.

She explained that her trip to the awards was, in part, funded by the Bowraville Chamber of Commerce but that she had taken annual leave to attend.

Law Council calls for financial incentives to bring lawyers to the regions THE Law Council of Australia is calling on the Commonwealth to provide financial incentives to increase the number of lawyers living and working in regional, rural and remote (RRR) locations, through the introduction of a Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) debt reduction and indexation relief initiative.

“About a third of the Australian population lives outside of our capital cities,”

Law Council of Australia President, Mr Luke Murphy said.

“But less than 10 percent of solicitors practise in a RRR location.”

“This workforce shortfall adversely impacts access to justice for people who live in these underserviced regions.

“It can be very difficult for them to access timely legal assistance on issues ranging from criminal law matters, family law, child

protection, tenancy matters, social security matters, credit and debt, and wills and estates.

“In addition, shortages of private legal practitioners in RRR areas limits availability of legal aid and pro bono assistance in these locations.

“While technology is helping, our RRR areas still face barriers to the uptake of virtual services including unreliable internet and phone connections, and a lack of digital literacy.

“There remains an urgent need for increased availability of in-person legal

services in RRR areas.”

Earlier this year, the Regional Australia Institute reported that two in five urban workers would relocate to a RRR area if a financial incentive was involved.

“Recognising this, the Government has previously implemented incentivisation models to draw more health practitioners and teachers to regional areas,” Mr Murphy said.

“We would like to see these models extended to the legal profession, who also deliver essential services to

RRR communities.

“What we are seeking is the introduction of a HELP debt reduction and indexation relief initiative.

“Under this scheme, qualified lawyers who live and work in eligible RRR areas will be able to apply for a reduction of their outstanding HELP debt after working in that area for a requisite period, which we suggest should be at least two years.

“The scheme would also waive indexation on a practitioner’s HELP debt during that time. developing community-based solutions aligned to their needs,” she said.

“At its heart, this is about ensuring communities feel strongly connected to TAFE NSW. “Whether you’re a local business owner, a parent, a school leaver, or have diverse needs, we want to hear from you.

“You can answer from your individual perspective, or on behalf of a business or community group you represent.

Gathering these insights helps TAFE NSW ensure we are wellpositioned to help your community thrive.”

Ms McGaffin said TAFE NSW is the country’s most geographically and demographically diverse training provider.

“TAFE NSW needs to hear from a range of voices to ensure all people have access to the training and services they need to participate in

“It’s a worthy contender in a lot of categories.

“Maybe one day we’ll win the Tidy Town and bring a lot of people into the Valley and that’s what we hope to do,” declared Ms Mc Ginley as part of her plea for increased support in 2024.

“Law degrees are currently among the most expensive tertiary courses in Australia.

“A law student today is likely to accumulate a HELP debt of at least $70,000 prior to their admission to practice.

“This would make an offer of debt forgiveness extremely attractive and we believe an effective lever to encourage early and midcareer lawyers to consider a RRR career.

“Financial incentives are not the only factor which will affect the recruitment and retention of legal practitioners in RRR areas, but we believe this is a good starting point and could be provided at minimal expense to the Commonwealth.” their local communities,” Ms McGaffin said.

“We’re proud of the fact we trained more than 125,000 people from regional and remote communities, 38,000 Aboriginal learners, and 46,000 people living with a disability over the last financial year.

“But we know we can do more to ensure our services are fit-for-purpose.”

Ms McGaffin said the initiative means all NSW residents can help shape the future of their local TAFE NSW. “Our goal is to build an environment in which local communities have greater participation in shaping localised partnerships and training solutions.

“This will ensure greater educational and social impact,” she said.

DARBY AND JOAN

ABC, 7.30pm

Veteran actors Bryan Brown and Greta Scacchi (pictured above) shine brighter than the golden Queensland setting in this comedic crime series.

Premiering tonight with eight snappy episodes up its sleeve, the plot focuses on the playful friendship between Brown’s retired copper Jack Darby, who runs into Scacchi’s Joan Kirkhope, a Brit recently arrived in Australia to find out how and why her husband died here. With this intriguing overarching mystery, the gorgeous setting and chemistry between the leads plays out as together they tackle a different mystery in each episode.

After nine seasons, you’d think that plucky traveller and conversationalist Heather Ewart (pictured) would have just about exhausted this country’s supply of remote, quaint towns to traverse. In this 10th outing, her exploration of the heart and soul of small Aussie communities finds yet more gems, kicking off with a small but wellknown and coveted holiday hotspot: Byron Bay’s less flashy neighbour, Brunswick Heads. Ewart meets locals Brett Haylock and Chris Chen, who share their story of restoring the town’s dilapidated 1960s cinema into a vibrant attraction. There is also former marine biologist Andy Graeme-Cook, who chats about his personal mission to make the beaches accessible for all.

JAMES MARTIN’S SPANISH ADVENTURES

SBS FOOD, 8.30pm

The culinary delights of Spain distilled in one episode? Not for James Martin (pictured right). The British chef doesn’t do this trip halfheartedly or with half measures. Clocking in at a studious 20 episodes, we’re not even halfway through this detailed and passionate gastronomic adventure that goes off the beaten track to celebrate some glorious scenery and get to know foodies, growers, much-loved traditional dishes and authentic ingredients alike. Tonight, Martin is in Castilla-La Mancha, where he cooks beef shin stew and croquettes and is acquainted with the popular bar snack carcamusa. It’s a voracious foodies’ delight.

to spectators.

The Swans team will take part in community and leadership activities, with a kids clinic and signing session on Monday, 29 January at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium.

It will be the first time since 2019 that the Swans men’s team has visited Coffs Harbour.

Community Football and Competition Manager for Northern NSW, Brad Greenshields, said it would be a great chance for the Coffs community to see AFL players in full flight.

“I think they will get to see just how good these players are, and just the elite level, just how fit they are, just how fast they move and the skills that they have when they are trying to move the ball,” he said.

“It’s a real eye opener to see them in that environment.

“It’s fantastic that the Sydney Swans see Coffs Harbour as a bit of a second home, and it really wasn’t that hard for them to choose Coffs Harbour as a venue for this camp.”

The Sydney Swans are coming off a 2023 season in which they finished eighth on the ladder, and lost their elimination final to Carlton.

Don’t forget to get your group together for the Elly Stig Memorial Charity Golf Day on Sunday 7th January – bookings through the Pro Shop 6569 4111. Not a golfer? Then come along for Lunch in the early afternoon for the monster Charity Auction supporting Children’s Cancer Research – there is an absolutely amazing variety of sporting memorabilia and other items tha have been donated for Auction.

From everyone at the Island Golf Club, we wish our patrons a very Happy and Healthy New Year, and look forward to enjoying your company again on The Island.

See you on the Island.
