“The workshops were specifically designed to encourage young people to reflect on and make art about their feelings during the fires and COVID-19,” Kirra Ratcliffe, headspace Community Engagement & Youth Participation Officer told News Of The Area. “headspace wanted to provide a platform where the young people could share some of their story with the wider community and to create a fun professional launch event to celebrate the young people who love making art.

“Being creative can help process emotions like sadness, confusion, worry and anger, and/or discover other emotions that may have been stored inside. “headspace believe that creating a safe space for young people to come and express themselves through creativity is extremely important,” said Kirra.

Artist Ellie Abbott describes her offering to the exhibition.

“Inhalation is showing a connection between two recent disasters: the bush fires and the pandemic.

“Both impacted our ability to breathe, one with smoke, one with disease.

“The fire within the chest of the figure represents this, as well as relating to the burning feeling of fear and anxiety - something that was very prevalent for young people during that time.

“The dark isolation we also experienced during the pandemic.”

The Exhibition opening night on 25 November included a Welcome to Country

The group was jointly funded by the Primary Health Network, Healthy Minds and Coffs Harbour City Council.

Shadow Minister For Housing Visits Coffs Coast

Contact Us Today for Inclusion into this Paper Gaye CONWAY 0436 355 564 gaye@newsofthearea.com.au

By Andrew VIVIAN

SHADOW Minister for Water, Housing and Homelessness, Rose Jackson, visited Bellingen, Nambucca and Coffs Harbour to talk with locals about the housing crisis in the area.

Ms Jackson said everyone deserves a safe, comfortable and affordable place to call home.

The Shadow Minister said it is important politicians spend time outside Parliament and she wanted to witness first-hand some of the heartbreaking stories she had been hearing about housing affordability on the Mid North Coast.

Ms Jackson said she has heard stories about families living in tents, women and children fleeing domestic violence with nowhere to go, families evicted from their homes only to see their house weeks later advertised on AirBnB, community centres overwhelmed and towns with literally no houses to rent. ”People are working so hard to look after their families and they just cannot find housing,” Ms Jackson said.

“It shouldn't be like this,” she said.

Ms Jackson told her Bellingen audience, “We know housing is unaffordable in New South Wales, we know housing is unaffordable in regional New South Wales and we know that housing is particularly unaffordable in areas like the Mid North Coast.”

According to Ms Jackson, 53,000 people are on the waiting list for social housing, up from 46,000 in June 2020.

Of these, almost 10,000 are “priority” which means that they are at imminent risk of homelessness.

Ms Jackson said the “waiting list for social

housing in areas like this is almost a decade” and that those numbers do not reveal the full extent of the housing crisis because so many people don’t even bother applying.

Other figures show, she said, the net increase in social housing projected for 2023 is only 400 properties for those 53,000 people, and because of maintenance backlogs, the quality of existing social housing is poor.

She said there has been a decline in per capita spending on social housing in New South Wales during the past five years.

Ms Jackson said that the situation meant that women with children were being forced to choose between returning to abusive relationships or homelessness and that an increasing number of women over 55 who have worked all their lives are at risk becoming homeless.

She pointed out that a local emergency food provider has expanded from two to five days a week, and cannot keep up.

“That’s because people, particularly in the private rental market, are doing absolutely everything they can to pay their rent because they know, if they lose that tenancy, they’re out, and there is nowhere else for them to go,” Ms Jackson said.

While acknowledging that shortterm letting is a challenge, she said, “One of the things that I think is particularly disappointing about this government is that they haven’t really even tried.”

She said the problems can be alleviated by good political leadership and progressive governments.

She suggested that, in the short term, abolishing no grounds evictions and starting to build social housing on Government land would make a dramatic difference.

Ms Jackson said she has heard stories of doctors, nurses and teachers who have turned down jobs on the Coffs Coast because they cannot find accommodation.

She acknowledged the Regional Housing Taskforce report, but said that it is not just about building houses, but that there should be infrastructure as well, and more social housing.

Ms Jackson spent time at Pete’s Place in Coffs Harbour talking with Coordinator Anna Scott, about the challenges facing people experiencing homelessness in the city.

She was told that people camped near there because that is where the services are but it is damp and infested with mosquitos.

Ms Jackson said, “We need to do a lot of things right, look at a lot of different solutions to at least try to make things better.

“As the spokesperson for Housing and Homelessness I'm up for that task and will be working with my colleagues over the next year on bold policy to start fixing this crisis.”

Our Helen named NSW Senior Volunteer of the Year

By Andrea FERRARI

HELEN Mears, the well-loved Coffs Coast volunteer of 41 years, has been named the overall NSW Senior Volunteer of the Year 2021 joint winner, in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the Coffs Harbour community.

“I’m flummoxed,” Helen told News Of The Area, “seeing all those other lovely volunteers at the Awards event in Sydney, who all do wonderful work, I can’t believe it’s me.”

Of course, all those who know and work with Helen

understand why.

Sharon Fuller from Mid North Coast Local Health District said, “How proud we are of our Coffs Harbour Pink Ladies President, Helen Mears, being named NSW Senior Volunteer of the Year.

“Attending the 15th annual NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards in Sydney our humble, hardworking Helen was recognised for her 40+ years as a United Hospital Auxiliary (UHA) member – 30 of which she has been branch President.

“In that time, the Pink Ladies at Coffs Harbour have

donated more than $3 million in equipment to Coffs Harbour hospital.

“Congratulations Helen this award is much-deserved recognition for our quiet achiever.”

Helen started volunteering when her daughter went to preschool and has so many happy memories from over the years.

“I love working in the gift shop and looking after the babies in the nursery and making things for them.”

Still very much a hard-

Cowper Candidate Needed

By Sandra MOON

COULD you be the next independent candidate for Cowper?

Voices4Cowper (V4C), a non-party-political incorporated association with membership from across the Federal electorate of Cowper, are calling for an independent candidate to represent them on the issues raised in their report ‘Voices4Cowper’.

Gillian Anderson, the convenor of Voices4Cowper, said the candidate would need to support the key

working Pink Lady at Coffs Harbour Health Campus (CHHC), Helen now works in the café in the new Clinical Services Building “I’m getting used to it, it’s all different,” as many things will be different from when Helen first stepped into her UHA role in 1980.

During 2020, when all volunteers were stood down due to the COVID, Helen volunteered to order stock and was heavily involved in the reopening of the gift shop and ensuring it was safe for all volunteers to return.

When the vaccination program was rolled out at

issues raised in the report of climate and the environment, political integrity, and social inequality.

The issues were identified in the 49 kitchen table conversations held across Cowper over the last two years.

The deadline for candidate submissions via the website is 5pm on Sunday 23 January, after which each profile will be published.

“Voices4Cowper will then facilitate an online public meeting on Sunday 6 February to enable Cowper residents to vote for the candidate who will best represent them,” Gillian said.

“Importantly, V4C will endorse the successful candidate, but will take no part in their individual election campaign.

“After all it's democracy, and we’re all in this together.”

Ms Anderson told News Of The Area that the report was launched with approximately 100 people in virtual attendance.

Participants were asked ‘Where to from here?’

Ms Anderson said the overwhelming response was to seek an independent candidate to represent Cowper.

If you think that candidate is you, contact info@voices4cowper.org.

“We are extremely grateful for her continued commitment to our local

community, and I congratulate Helen on this prestigious recognition.”

Minister for Families, Communities and Disability Services Alister Henskens said, “Volunteers are the glue that helps bind our communities together and I am always inspired by the incredible people that devote their time and energy to benefit others.

“I congratulate Helen for her outstanding contribution to the Coffs Harbour community.”

Coffs Coast teachers support state-wide strike

By Andrew VIVIAN

AN estimated 1500 Coffs Coast teachers supported the first state-wide teachers’ strike in nearly a decade.

Teachers gathered at Brelsford Park last Tuesday to express their dissatisfaction with the government’s refusal to negotiate on wages, demanding #More Than Thanks, the campaign of the NSW Teachers Federation.

The government has offered a 2.5 percent a year pay rise but the Federation says this is not enough to attract new teachers to the profession.

The Federation acknowledges that the starting salary for teachers is adequate, but that teachers are left behind, compared to other professions, as they gain more experience.

News Of The Area has previously reported on the ‘Valuing the Teaching Profession’ report, commissioned by the Federation, which found that the dedication and commitment of teachers remained high but significant changes in the volume and complexity of their work

has led to unsustainable workloads.

One teacher in attendance told News Of The Area, “We are here to support our colleagues and fight for what we and our students deserve.

“There should be trained teachers in front of every class, especially STEM.” Her colleague said, “We’re passionate about our students and everyone has jumped into dealing with the changes that COVID has brought.

“It’s really difficult to even get a casual to cover a sick day and we are really worried about the future of state schools.”

The NSW Government says its proposed ‘Quality Time Action Plan’ will use technology and digital tools to streamline teaching and administrative tasks to free up teachers’ time for planning and teaching.

When asked about the Quality Time Action Plan, another of the striking teachers called it “nonsense”.

“Technology is a tool but not a solution.

“Nothing beats a teacher in the classroom with passion, commitment and dedication,”

he said.

The teachers listened to

a number of speakers before marching through the streets of Coffs Harbour.

The mood of the speakers was that teachers will keep

www.newsofthearea.com.au fighting.

Deanne Ion, President of the Coffs Harbour Branch of the NSW Teachers Federation, told the crowd, “It’s not what we wanted.”

She said the Government has known about the teacher shortage for years

but has done nothing while Government Ministers deny there is a shortage.

Ms Ion said, “If you don’t care about wages and conditions and teacher shortages, you don’t care about students.”

q Approximately 1500 teachers attended the meeting at Brelsford Park.

Council Seeks Local Creatives And Businesses

By Andrew VIVIAN

Book a

table with us!

COFFS Harbour City Council is seeking to assemble a ‘creative services panel’ of suitably experienced professionals and businesses to provide one or more of a range of creative services to assist with marketing and communication activities.

Businesses that involve photography and/ or videography services, branding and/or graphic design, print management and/or direct mail, digital marketing and/or website services and/or other services required as part of a promotional and marketing campaign can register with Council.

The promotion of services, facilities, initiatives and programs to the community, from the arts

through to tourism, nature programs, environmental education, disability initiatives, lifeguards, events and sports is a huge job and and adding local creative businesses to the panel helps the Council access these suppliers more readily.

Sole traders through to medium and larger sized agencies are welcome to express interest and specialisation in one area.

A Council spokesperson said, “The creation of a prequalified list of suppliers across creative services is more efficient from a procurement perspective.

“Having one centralised database on which to call upon when the need arises will save time for Council

staff and for creative businesses who often have to submit their credentials on multiple occasions.

“This will also unearth some of the local creatives and businesses we might not be aware of and we know this sector is growing year on year.”

Once established, it is anticipated that the panel will be reviewed and refreshed every 12 months.

The creative business call-out began last Monday, 6 December, and closes on 24 January, 2022 giving businesses and creatives plenty of time to work on their submission.

The Council aims to have the panel finalised by the end of January, 2022.

More details can be found at www.coffsharbour. nsw.gov.au by searching for ‘creative services panel’.

BELLINGEN Shire Council’s financial sustainability has been reviewed and approved by the NSW Audit Office and Chartered Accountants Thomas Nobel & Russell, according to an independent report tabled at last week’s Ordinary Council Meeting.

Bellingen Shire’s 2020/21 Financial Statement Audit Results successfully passed a recent audit review activity, with Council exceeding five of the six criteria used by the NSW Audit Office to assess Council’s Financial Statement Audit Results against.

A Council spokesperson said, “It’s a rewarding achievement, as Council has continuously pursued a range of opportunities to improve its longterm financial position by reviewing depreciation accruals, service levels, fees and charges and grant advocacy activities to ensure the efficient delivery of essential community services.

“For example, Council has successfully secured $26,350,076 in grant funding which has resulted in $30,063,503 worth of Shire-wide projects to be delivered, and Council has reported a total of $34.4M in cash and investments for the year, an increase of $5.4M on last year’s total.

“Additionally, as Council reported a net operating deficit before capital grants and contributions of -$1M, in comparison to the original budgeted deficit of -$1.7M, this improvement on current long-term financial forecasts projects a return to an operating surplus by the year ending 30 June 2024.

“Ultimately, to maintain the operational capacity required to deliver the essential services our community relies on, in parallel with balancing the needs of the organisation with our community’s aspirations is challenging, but it’s a challenge we’re well placed to meet now and into the future.”

New tech online safety guide for the festive season

By Emma DARBIN

COFFS COASTNews Of The Area q A new online safety guide for parents purchasing tech for their children this Christmas has been released by the Australian Federal Police. Photo: Australian Federal Police.

A NEW online safety guide has been released for parents and others who are buying technology for children this festive season.

Developed by the AFPled Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation and the AFP’s ThinkUKnow program, the Gaming, Devices and What You Need to Know safety guide is designed to provide easy steps to help protect children online.

AFP Commander ACCCE and Human Exploitation Hilda Sirec said tech was on many children’s Christmas wish lists this year.

“This guide has been launched to help parents and carers minimise the risk of inappropriate contact and online child sexual exploitation on popular devices,’’ Commander Sirec said.

“One of the best gifts

parents and carers can give children is safety and protection.

“Don’t give an offender the chance to connect with your child this holiday season.”

Commander Sirec said many popular devices had safety features that parents and carers could use to help minimise the risk of inappropriate contact.

Strategies include checking privacy settings on devices and turning off location settings, setting profiles to private, and turning off chat functions.

“This is a busy time for parents and carers, however, it’s important to be aware of how your children will use these devices - especially ones that connect to the internet,” Commander Sirec said.

Commander Sirec said even if parents or carers were not buying tech for their children this

Christmas, the resource could still be used for the devices already at homes.

“Can I implore everyone to implement parental controls on devices and talk to children about how to build safe online habits,’’ she said.

“Just as you would ask your child about their day, ask them what apps, social media and games they are using online, and use our resource to explore and navigate their features.

“A direct message or chat function can allow anyone to make contact with your child.”

Commander Sirec said it was also important to supervise children when they’re online by encouraging screen time in shared areas of the home.

“This is a critical factor in preventing self-produced child abuse material and online grooming,” she said.

“Online offenders use

the privacy and anonymity of the internet to identify and target children.”

The ACCCE Child Protection Triage Unit (CPTU) usually experiences spikes in reporting of online child exploitation incidents after holiday periods.

Commander Sirec said parents can keep their children safe by having open conversations about online

safety from an early age, and continuing this dialogue throughout all stages of development.

“Be approachable if your child needs help,” she said.

“Coming forward isn’t always easy, and children may feel reluctant to tell you about online issues if they believe they will be punished or have their devices taken away.”

THE Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) has commenced legal action against Coles Supermarkets Australia alleging it underpaid more than 7,500 salaried employees a total of $115 million in both regional and metropolitan areas.

Coles Group Limited disclosed to the FWO and the Australian Securities Exchange in 2020 that it was reviewing the pay of award-covered, salaried employees in its liquor and supermarket businesses.

The Fair Work Ombudsman assessed the wages and entitlements of thousands of salaried Coles employees, finding Coles

had allegedly underpaid 7,812 employees a total of $115.2 million between 1 January 2017 and 31 March 2020.

The FWO alleges that most of the underpayments were the result of Coles paying salaried employees annual salaries that were insufficient to cover their minimum lawful entitlements, given they generally performed significant amounts of overtime work.

The FWO alleges Coles’ remediation program has significantly underestimated amounts owed to the employees and that more than $108 million

remains outstanding.

Fair Work Ombudsman Sandra Parker said underpayments resulting from insufficient annual salaries for employees covered by awards had become a persistent issue among businesses of all sizes, across a number of different industries.

“Businesses paying annual salaries cannot take a ‘set-and-forget’ approach to paying their workers,” Ms Parker said.

“Employers must ensure wages being paid are sufficient to cover all minimum lawful entitlements for the hours their employees are actually

working and the work they are actually doing.”

Ms Parker said that ensuring remediation programs were being undertaken correctly by large employers reporting underpayments was a priority for the FWO. “This court action against Coles should serve as a warning to all employers that they can face serious consequences if they do not prioritise workplace law compliance,” she said.

The allegedly underpaid Coles employees were located in regional and metropolitan areas across every Australian State and territory.

Most were responsible for managing a department or function within a Coles supermarket, such as bakery, customer service, delicatessen, dry goods, fresh produce, meat and night-fill.

The alleged underpayment of these salaried managers ranged from small amounts to $471,647 and it is alleged that 45 of them were underpaid more than $100,000.

It is also alleged that Coles breached recordkeeping laws under the Fair Work Act by failing to keep proper records, including some records relating to

overtime hours worked by employees.

The FWO is seeking penalties against Coles for multiple alleged breaches of workplace laws, in addition to a court order requiring the company to rectify the total outstanding underpayments in full, (plus interest and superannuation).

The company faces penalties of up to $63,000 per breach.

A directions hearing in the Federal Court in Sydney is still to be scheduled.

Write On - Coffs author debuts novel

By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Harbour author Bruce Meder officially launched his debut historical novel, Ironic Cross, at Old John’s Café on Wednesday 1 December.

With 31 people in attendance, Bruce’s friend Harvey Ward acted as MC and highlighted some of the themes of the book.

On show was the painting that provides the artwork for the book’s cover, created by local artist John Thiering.

The painting illustrates two of the symbols that recur throughout the book – a cross and a canary.

During a Q&A session Bruce noted that pacifism, non-violence, and women’s voices are often written out of history, especially conflict history.

“Although Ironic Cross has war as its

q Bruce Meder shares his motivations, research finds and thoughts on war with Andrea Ferrari, News Of The Area, at his book launch.

backdrop, non-violence and women's voices are shunned from many of our social institutions: the courts, our education system, parliaments - and politics generally, and our economic system. “Hence, I hope that in some small way this book allows pacifism and women's voices to at least be whispered somewhere.

q Harvey Ward, MC for the night with the book cover’s artist, John Thiering.

q Kathy Ward, Bruce’s cycling companion, who “heard all about it” on regular biking outings.

“I would like to think that the book allows a reader to think either differently, or more deeply, about war.

“Who begins wars? Who benefits? Who loses?

“Also, what are the effects (short-term and ongoing) of war upon friends and families of those who participate and do not come back, as well as those who do come back but are forever transformed, in many instances in a unhealthy way, as is the novel’s character Henry who suffered shell-shock, today known as PTSD? “I felt buoyed last night with the launch itself.

“There were feelings of joy, connection, encouragement, and keen listening in the room.

“I felt that people really did want to hear about the book, as well as my motivations and inspirations in writing it.

“One thing I was encouraged by in the audience’s comments was that people enjoyed meeting other people there, for the first time.

“That has been an enduring theme of my professional, voluntary, and personal career - to enable people to connect…and stories, of which novels are one form, are great ways for that to happen.”

Has your ATM gone AWOL - tell CHOICE

By Andrea FERRARI

HAS your local ATM or bank disappeared, shut down or simply left town without saying goodbye?

On the Coffs Coast, with our rural reach, many of us rely on our local ‘hole-in-thewall’ for getting our cash out conveniently.

In rural areas, when the local bank closes down it often means a trip to the city for our more detailed banking business.

CHOICE, the consumer group is calling for Australians to share their stories about their regional banking experiences.

Patrick Veyret, CHOICE Banking Campaigner, told

News Of The Area, “Many of us rely on bank branches and ATMs to access essential banking services.

“As the shift to online banking accelerates, we need to ensure nobody is left behind.

“The government wants to hear from communities impacted by the banks' decisions to close branches and remove ATMs. “We're urging Australians to share your thoughts with CHOICE to have your voice heard.

“Many Australians live in a regional area and it’s essential that people can access banking services in the bush,” said Patrick.

The government has

established a taskforce to assess the impact of bank branch closures on regional communities.

CHOICE is writing a submission that will call for fair access to banking services for everyone.

“As part of this, we want to include real stories from people affected by or worried about access to banking services.

“Since June 2017, there have been over 500 bank branch closures in regional Australia.

“It may mean that you have to drive hours to access a bank branch or that the only ATM in town is a private one with a fee to withdraw cash.

“We want to show the

Maggie’s Pet Co, from Moonee Beach, picked up two awards, for Professional Development and Training and Excellence in Small Business as did Costa Berries, for Excellence in Sustainability and Outstanding Practice in Work Health and Safety.

Other award winners included Key Employment (Outstanding Community Organisation), TacMed Australia (Excellence in Innovation) and The National Cartoon Gallery (Tourism, Experiences and Events).

The Australian Centre for Eating Disorders and Affirmations Publishing House were inducted into the awards Hall of Fame and The Dorrigo Butcher and the Coffs Harbour Squash and Swim Centre received Judges Acknowledgement awards.

All awards can be viewed on the Chamber of Commerce

Workplace Wellness Program, which focuses on the mental and physical health of the team and the organisational culture and work-life balance.

She said that recruitment is really tough, particularly because overseas and interstate movement is restricted, so retaining staff is essential.

Ms Davidson said only two staff have left in the past year but the company has recruited sixteen extra professionals because of growth, not turnover and that Hoys also won Employer of Choice at the regional awards held by Business NSW. She said, “People know us as a business that is good to work for, so we are now being approached by professionals seeking work.

“Without the exceptional outcomes with clients and customer service from our team we would be nothing,” she said.

Call for volunteers - Coffs’ services need you

By Andrea FERRARI

VOLUNTEERS are the lifeblood of Coffs Harbour and more are required as restrictions and demand on the services they work for have changed and increased in the last eighteen months.

“Our community’s most valuable asset are our volunteers,” Di Woods, Manager, Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre told News Of The Area.

“These are the people who give their time generously to support another, without expecting anything in return.

“The most amazing part of giving though is in the joy of new connections, skill and true sense of purpose that this brings to the giver.”

Volunteers donated at least 1.5 billion volunteer hours to the community in 2020, with 87.6% of NSW residents aged 18-24 volunteering in 2020.

“Many of the community support groups in Coffs, over the past 18 months, have been placed in a position of modifying the support they could provide.

“With lifting of these restrictions, and with the

FrogID Week 2021 biggest year ever

By Andrea FERRARI

THANKS to citizen scientists around the country, the fourth annual FrogID Week was a massive success.

Now a leading citizen science project run by the Australian Museum, this year’s FrogID Week, which ran from 12-21 November, received over 20,200 submissions – almost double 2020's FrogID Week submissions.

Over 9,300 people submitted a recording and over 29,400 records of frogs from 103 species have been verified so far.

Sawtell schoolgirl Ella Petrohelos is fascinated by nature, with a great interest in the Coffs Coast’s frog health, as previously reported in News Of The Area.

Ella tells News Of The Area, “On the first day of Frog

ID week, I went outside to put my chooks away for the night when I noticed something green on my trampoline.

“It looked like a big green leaf.

“As I got closer, I noticed it was a green tree frog.

“It looked very healthy and happy.

“Over the week I saw the same frog again in our yard after a rainy day.

“I recorded my sightings on the Australian Museum FrogID app and got a reply the next day confirming the breed and a record of the location where the frog was found.

“At school – Mary Help of Christians in Sawtell - we have a frog pond, and it is full of tadpoles at the moment.

“Recently the students have noticed two green frogs living near the school office.

“It has been great to see

the signs of healthy frogs back around our local area,” said Ella.

The country’s FrogID Week recordings have helped reach the milestone of over half a million frog records validated; in four years doubling the number of frog records previously in Australia, that were collected over more than 200 years.

In FrogID Week the Museum increased its database to 208 species, thanks to a recording of the Sunset Frog (Spicospina flammocaerulea), a vulnerable frog species, by Dr Robert Davis in WA. Two new species of frog have been described as new to science this past week, the Slender Bleating Tree frog (Litoria balatus) and the Screaming Tree Frog (Litoria quiritatus).

Striped Burrowing Frog.

It became apparent early on that his tummy was very sensitive and he had a lot of allergies to food and to the environment.. It was a struggle with Marlo to find the right diet that did not cause symptoms such as, nausea, vomiting, sometimes and especially during a bad flare up he had a lot of gas and the bigger the flare the smellier the gas was. This usually then led to diarrhoea and when he had diarrhoea it was an explosion ! with a lot of blood. So many trips to the vet and it was a process of elimination as to what foods he could tolerate. Eventually he was diagnosed with Chronic Pancreatitis and Irritable Bowel disease so we needed to manage all the symptoms and monitor what he ate and being a Labrador he just loved his food and his happy place was down at the beach and I watched him like a hawk as he was always on the hunt for a treat! As his legacy, I decided to take a recipe to a Naturopath who formulated this for me and it was blended and packaged in Brisbane.

Marlo’s Gut Health Powder is a all natural, Aussie made Human grade Powder ( Slippery Elm, Marshmellow root, Dandilion root & Milkthistle), it coats the digestive tract and helps ease inflammation. It also helps restore Liver enzymes and aids with any tummy issues such as Diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, Ulcers, Pancreatitis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. My vision is to help support local business’s that offer healthy dog treats, acupuncture, hydrotherapy and other pet wellness therapies and remedies that are local and supporting locals. I would also like to incorporate on my website a memory tree whereby someone can purchase a leaf off the tree and it’s a place where someone can commemorate the loss of their best friend and this money will go directly to our local Animal Rescue Organisation. Marlo’s journey is what led me to create Marlo’s Pet Wellness and Marlo’s all natural Gut Health Powder.

“Poor weather is associated with up to one in three fatal incidents on our waterways – even in the past 12 months, more than half of fatalities on our waterway involved rough conditions and 80 percent of those were not found to be wearing a lifejacket.

“The 2022 Fellows come together at an exceptional time in human history.

“As we (hopefully) emerge from the depths of the pandemic, these Fellows will be a group of people who help create and shape our societies for years to come,” he said.

“I look forward to watching and hearing about their achievements and influence in the coming months and years.”

“We had an overall compliance rate of 86.4 percent, which means the majority of people were doing the right thing, however there are still those who were doing the wrong thing and risking their lives.

“We want to remind everyone, even the most seasoned boaters, that weather conditions can change quickly so watch the weather while you’re out – weather is not just about clouds and rain, but about winds, swells and warnings issues as well.”

Banned Chemicals Found In Hearnes Lake Tributaries

By Andrew VIVIAN

MEMBERS of the Hearnes Lake Catchment Management Group, under the auspices of the Sandy Beach Action Group (SANDBAG), have found evidence of toxic chemicals at unsafe levels in waterways leading into Hearnes Lake, Woolgoolga.

The Group used a $9,000 Council Environmental Levy grant to collect water samples from waterways flowing into Hearnes Lake and test them.

Water quality expert and

q

project coordinator, Maxine Rowley, warned that the community should be aware of the risks from the cocktail of agricultural chemicals detected by the Group.

Samples were collected during rainfall events around times when spraying was conducted on nearby farms, and included a highly-toxic insecticide, Methomyl, which may present a hazard to humans and animals.

SANDBAG President, Dr Peter Quiddington said, “We have to follow strict protocols

when collecting samples to prevent contamination.”

This includes using gloves and clean containers and keeping the samples cool before getting them quickly to Sydney for testing.

As well as the invisible pollution, the Group found extensive plastics waste along the waterways.

Dr Quiddington said there is clear evidence of a complete disregard for the environment.

The group found fertiliser bags, trays and

all kinds of plastics and netting commonly used on blueberry farms discarded, and most was clearly not from occasional mishaps or accidents.

He said that examination of the debris indicates “environmental vandalism on an industrial scale”.

The Group found layers of plastic residue embedded in the banks and foliage which is slowly breaking down and adding to the toxic mix of chemical and micro-plastic pollution finding its way into Hearnes Lake, and further

down into the waters of the Solitary Islands Marine Park.

Dr Quiddington said that local residents and visitors to these areas are rightly outraged at this state of affairs, and “are tired of the tokenistic bandaid solutions that are being offered to solve the problem”.

The water sampling results follow on from a fish kill in Hearnes Lake in 2018 linked to the agricultural chemical and nerve toxin Chlorpyrifos.

Extensive research, conducted by Southern Cross

University (SCU), showed that agricultural pollution from fertilizer in Hearnes Lake ranks as among the worst in the world and sediment sampling by SCU detected levels of arsenic that exceeded accepted guidelines.

Dr Quiddington said the next step is to begin to identify the origin of the toxic chemicals and, in the meantime, waters of Hearnes Lake should be avoided until it is established the contamination is no longer occurring.

Farmers get their say on land use THE fight between farmers and developers could be a thing of the past thanks to a new mapping project that will shape future regional planning decisions.

With agriculture, urban development, renewable energy infrastructure and other land use interests competing for space in our increasingly busy regional areas, NSW Farmers is urging landholders to have their say on State Significant Agricultural Land mapping.

NSW Farmers Vice President Xavier Martin said it was an important process that would help protect farmers from conflicting land uses into the future.

“Farmers are being given a direct opportunity to have their say on the important issue of land use planning, and this could set the course for years to come as land use interests in regional areas grow,” Mr Martin said. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y,

agricultural land can be viewed as a default zone when it comes to matters such as urban expansion, energy infrastructure and mining.

“There’s a finite amount of land suitable for agriculture and at the moment, we are losing it in a very fragmented way, but the state government’s mapping exercise is an opportunity to resolve that poor outcome.”

Mr Martin said the NSW Government’s

understanding of the regional and state significance of agricultural areas would go a long way to minimising future conflict.

“The understanding of high value agricultural land must be multi-faceted, taking into consideration soil quality, yield, adaptability, proximity to export hubs and regional importance,” Mr Martin said.

“If the government is to identify and protect

agricultural land on a tiered basis, then they need to understand what makes land strategically important – and farmers will be the repository of that knowledge.

“The goal of NSW Farmers advocacy in the land use space is to ensure agriculture is being considered in land use decisions.

“We need to start somewhere, and this mapping is the starting point.”

While the first iteration of the government’s mapping is not perfect, Mr Martin said consultation and refinement would help produce a planning tool that benefits landholders.

Consultation on the first State Significant Agricultural Land mapping is open until late January 2022 and the NSW Department of Primary Industries is welcoming input from farmers.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

D

By Manny WOOD

Litigation to resolve ambiguity in will BRIAN was a wealthy man who owned real estate, shares, cash and an extensive classic car collection.

At the time of his death, Brian was married to Julie and had three children to his first wife who had died in a car accident 25 years ago.

Brian’s will left his real estate and ‘personal effects’ to Julie.

His children were left his family heirlooms, photographs, personal papers and the “residue” of Brian’s estate.

Brian’s children were appointed as the executors of his will and after obtaining a grant of probate, distributed the shares, cars and cash to themselves.

Julie believed she was entitled to Brian’s shares, cash and car collection on the basis that they were ‘personal effects’ and commenced action in the Supreme Court in what is known as a ‘construction suit’.

The children defend the action, arguing that the shares, cash and classic cars are not ‘personal effects’ and that they should form part of the residue of the estate, to which they are entitled.

There was no evidence of Brian’s actual intentions.

The Court stated that the term ‘personal effects’ comprised something with which Brian had some ‘personal connection’ or was ‘accustomed to use and enjoy personally’.

Additionally, the Court stated that the term ‘effects’ should only include physical or ‘tangible’ items.

The Court ultimately ruled that the reference in Brian’s will to ‘personal effects’ included the classic car collection, to which Julie was entitled and the children were entitled to the shares and cash.

When providing your will instructions to your solicitor, it is important that careful consideration is given to items of value.

Your solicitor should then clearly draft your will to avoid ambiguity so that your intentions are realised without resort to litigation.

Madelaine R. Dear Madelaine, FOR me to fully comprehend your partner's intrusion, I am trying to imagine the configuration of your bathroom.

Is it one of those all-in-one arrangements where there is a shower, vanity unit and toilet? Or is it a small, dank room with only a toilet and sink, and he feels the need to invade the only time you have to yourself?

I'm with you, Madelaine.

There are many moments of intimacy couples can share without the need to chat while one of you is perched with your pants around your ankles.

It is an unnecessary visual (and sometimes olfactory) assault that, once experienced, can't be wiped, (unintentional pun, which is always a delightful thing to experience).

If you don't have a lock on your door, I would suggest you get one.

This is not only helpful for intrusive partners, but also clueless children, curious cats, domineering dogs, and nosy neighbours.

If, however, he/she is just coming in to talk to you while you are showering, it just means there's still a bit of spice left in your marriage and that is cause for celebration, rather than something to complain about.

After a long list of challenges, members of the jury were selected and included Messrs Everingham (foreman), Gillies, Bailey, Laing, Gillett, Ayres, Watkins, O’Brian, Hanna, Barnier and Layton.

Homicide at Coffs Harbour: Trial and Testimony (Part 7) The Crown Prosecutor was Mr H L P Ellis, with Mr H F Norrie from the Crown Solicitor’s office.

Constable May was the first to be examined, where he gave a detailed account of all his activities and discoveries.

During his account he produced his evidence which included Friske’s bloodstained shirt and his purse containing money, a small paper box containing bones found in the fire and the sock which was on the severed leg.

He was questioned on allowing the prisoner alcohol before confessing the crime, on the grounds this made the evidence

inadmissible, however the judge intervened, stating it was done out of humanity for the prisoner.

As this took most of the morning’s session, half an hour was allowed for lunch before resuming at 1:30 pm. Constable May continued his narrative, describing how, just before Friske’s arrest, he asked the prisoner if he had a cheque.

Friske gave him a blank cheque, saying he gave Mat Matteson £5 for it and Matteson had received it from teamster and timbergetter, Thomas Duncan.

The constable went on to describe how Friske had given Matteson’s money to

Landcare celebrates volunteers

By Andrea FERRARI

LOCAL Landcare held its Annual Awards and Volunteer Appreciation presentations at its Coffs Harbour Regional Landcare (CHRL) Nursery in Woolgoolga.

Officiated by Barry Powells, President CHRL and Mel Craig, Landcare coordinator, fifty-plus members from all over the region cheered the popular recipients of each award.

Fiona Kealy, CHRL Community Nursery is the peer-nominated winner of the Eileen Moody Memorial Award for outstanding efforts of an individual Landcarer.

Fiona has created a stand-out computer record

keeping system that is a valuable addition to the ongoing improvement of the nursery.

Also nominated for this award was Tim Morrison, a volunteer from Friends of Coffs Creek and Jean Meiklejohn from Jetty Dunecare.

Both members work many hours dedicating themselves to the jobs that need to be done from handweeding, spraying and transporting rubbish (Tim) to working across different sites that need help and becoming an ambassador for the works of Landcare (Jean).

The peer-nominated Dee Wallace Perpetual Award for Excellence by a Landcare Group was won by Fuller

Street Dunecare.

Recognised for their continued motivation, focus and commitment to transforming their area from a weed-infested paddock with low resilience to a thriving natural area that now supports a variety of endemic species, this group works well liaising with NPWS and contractors to get the job done with the best overall impact.

Runners-up were Linden Lagoon in the Toormina area and Sawtell Dunecare.

Linden Lagoon has made a significant positive impact on a very degraded site in a very short period of time, removing entrenched weeds and piles of litter, improving the water quality and reestablishing biodiversity and habitat.

Charles Johnson but didn’t want anyone to know.

Johnson had then given it to the Constable as he ‘didn’t want anything to do with it’.

Constable May also described how, after he had taken Friske to Grafton gaol, he returned to the prisoner’s selection on the 25 September with Senior Constable Steele and made another search of the hut and fireplace where he found more bones.

He then submitted the knuckle bone from the severed leg and a pair of boots given to him by Duncan.

q John McRae, Liz Philpott, Keith Philpott (all from Linden Lagoon Landcare) Barry Powells, (CHRL President), Greg Yeates and John Fuller (both from Fuller St Dunecare). is recognised for its ongoing dedication to the rehabilitation of their local coastline now including Boambee Headland.

Over many years they have achieved successes with the removal of many weeds.

They are a friendly group keen to share knowledge to support and help upskill other members.

CHRL also announced two Life Memberships to Jane Ireland and Desnee McCosker, both dedicated and fervent Landcarers over almost forty years each, news which again received enthusiastic applause.

“Desnee joined Jetty Dunecare in 1998 and has been intimately involved with the growth and development of our first Landcare site actually before the formation

of CHRL,” said Barry.

“She was the first Landcare coordinator and was involved in the establishment of our nursery here in Woolgoolga.

“Desnee helped with the introduction of the first Landcare awards with Eileen Moody and was successful with two Coast Care grants to start cleaning up The Jetty area which was once an industrial site.

“She is part of the JDC group liaising with the Jetty Revitalisation Plan.”

Jane Ireland’s involvement with the Landcare movement also goes back to the start of JDC, working with Eileen Moody and Edwin Laidley to ensure the local area had a group of people concerned about their local environment.

q

“Jane has worked tirelessly to secure many grants while also working on-ground to ensure that the funding was spent according to plan,” said Barry.

“She was very concerned about many aboriginal families living in poor conditions at the northern end of The Jetty area and sourced funding to help improve their living conditions.

“Perhaps her biggest idea was to extend the work of JDC all the way down Boambee Beach - now being slowly realised.

“Another long-term vision was to use prisoners from Grafton jail to do environmental work with Landcare to clean up the whole of the coastline to the border.”

RHYS DARBY: BIG IN JAPAN

TEN, 9.30pm

Kiwi actor Rhys Darby was lucky enough to get to Japan in those heady pre-COVID days where international travel was open to all. As we prepare to dust off our passports, this entertainingly weird and wacky fourpart series is just the ticket in armchair travel. Darby makes his entrance in tonight’s premiere via hot air balloon (of course) before traipsing through the country with his special knack of finding all the oddest places, such as the hotel run entirely by robots and a company that will make you your own mascot.

If you sing from the same songbook as Aussie songstress Delta Goodrem (right), Christmas is your favourite time of year, hands-down. After her debut festive special last year, which audiences lapped up, Delta is back with new and impressive guests to ring in Christmas via song and style. Joining Delta on stage at the Sydney Opera House will be singersongwriter Paul Kelly, Natalie Imbruglia, Cody Simpson, Harts, Jason Arrow, and imports Craig David, Andrea Bocelli and Gary Barlow. Expect some hijinks with The Inspired Unemployed and Hamish Blake also getting in on the Christmas cheer.

The family home for more than 500 years, it’s an estate that screams money and privilege. Who wouldn’t want a sticky beak? Follow as Charles Spencer orchestrates an archaeological dig there in search of a lost Anglo Saxon village, only to uncover something far older.

Each year Rural Doctors Network recognises rural GPs who have achieved 35+ years’ service to remote, rural and regional communities in NSW. The RDN said that in spite of the many challenges of recent years - drought, floods, bushfires, the COVID-19 pandemic - rural health professionals have continued to deliver high-quality health care to their communities.

“We take this opportunity

Reminder to redeem Active Kids vouchers PARENTS are being urged to take advantage of the State’s popular Active Kids program, with tens of millions of dollars worth of vouchers still to be redeemed this year due to the COVID lockdown.

The $100 vouchers are redeemable for children’s sport, fitness and recreational activities.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet is also encouraging NSW families to dive into the new First Lap learn to swim program, which started on December 1.

The $100 voucher is available for children aged three to six years for swimming lessons.

“Now that sport is back up and running, we’re keen to

remind parents to use these excellent NSW Government cost-saving measures so kids can get back to playing sport and learning to swim without breaking the family budget,” Mr Perrottet said.

“With COVID restrictions stopping sport for several months, around 430,000 children are yet to use their Active Kids vouchers this year, meaning there is around $86 million worth of vouchers still up for grabs.”

Every school-enrolled child in NSW is eligible for two $100 Active Kids vouchers per year towards the cost of sport and active recreation fees.

Minister for Digital and Customer Service Victor

Dominello said the $100 First Lap learn to swim voucher and Active Kids program are among dozens of NSW Government savings to help ease cost of living pressures for households.

“Every cent counts when it comes to balancing the family budget and claiming the First Lap voucher is now at your fingertips and available via the Service NSW app,” Mr Dominello said.

Minister for Sport Natalie Ward said the First Lap program, which provides an annual $100 voucher per child, has been expanded to include not just pre-school children but also those in kindergarten in 2021 and 2022.

Bellingen Riverwatch report says 'stay vigilant'

By Andrea FERRARI

BELLINGEN Riverwatch’s (BR) September riveranalysis data has been interpreted into a report, which shows that the rivers of the Bellinger and Kalang catchments are generally in very good health.

It verifies BR partners’ scientific understanding that these are unique river systems and some of the

healthiest and most pristine rivers in Australia.

“However, there are still problems presenting in many parts of the catchment - one area showing poor results consistently for the past four years is Caratti Creek, the little creek in Market Park near the tennis courts,” Program Manager Amy Denshire told News Of The Area.

now the largest river health citizen science program in NSW, was born from the need to collect continuous water quality data to assist scientists involved in the Bellinger River Snapping Turtle recovery.

This turtle is now Critically Endangered, after suffering a mass mortality event in 2015 which killed an estimated 90% of the population.

“It’s difficult to describe how terrible it was to see 90% of our turtles disappear from the river,” says Fiona McMullin, a river landholder.

Planning, Industry and Environment has been successfully releasing turtles back into the river from captive breeding programs at Taronga Zoo Sydney and Symbio Wildlife Park.

This summer, BR partners remind the community that the biohazard risk of the virus still prevails.

“Tourists and community members - please wash your swimmers and canoes in between visits to help prevent spreading the virus,” said Amy Denshire.

“It’s a simple way we can all help.”

There are many other ways we can make a difference - choosing to wear zinc instead of chemical sunscreens, going to the toilet before we leave town, or pulling some of the problem weeds out when you next visit the river, such as Madeira vine, Billygoat weed, or Castor oil.

School holiday activities to stretch the budget

By Andrea FERRARI

FREE fun school holiday activities are on offer at Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre.

Activities are designed to provide an opportunity for families to connect.

“Activities will include arts, crafts, cooking and games,” Di Woods, Manager at Coffs Harbour q Supporting the school holiday activities is Ellen Taylor, hosting as part of a student placement.

Neighbourhood Centre told News Of The Area.

“Children aged five to fourteen years are encouraged to participate and must be accompanied by an adult.”

Making the activities free was important, said Di. “Studies indicate that over a third of parents are worried about the impact of the school break on their

ability to pay household bills and expenses, whilst over two-fifths are concerned about spending more money on food for their children.

“Many families will opt for a staycation this year.

“Many families have expressed that they struggle to keep their children occupied.”

Preplanning a range of free or low-cost activities

ahead reduces family and financial stress.

“We aim to provide a range of opportunities, especially those that keep children engaged and active.

“It is healthy to limit children’s screen time by providing other opportunities to help families avoid the ‘I’m bored’ grind.”

School holiday activities at Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood centre will be held 10am-12pm on 12, 13, 19 and 20 January. q Free fun activities are on for families over the school holidays said Di Woods, Manager, Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre.

To register for the activities parents or carers can book themselves and children they care for at w w w. t r y b o o k i n g . c o m / BWDQA. A new family’s project has been launched by NSW Health which contains a huge range of ideas that parents can implement at home, free or low cost.

Tallowwood Point Bridge Opens to Traffic THE Tallowwood Point Bridge, Promised Land Road, Gleniffer is now open to traffic thanks to the focussed efforts of Bellingen Shire Council’s Bridge Crew, who put in place an accelerated works program to ensure the removal and replacement of the old timber bridge was completed in time for the busy Christmas Holiday period.

The bridge, which is located approximately

seven kilometres from the Glennifer Four-Way Intersection, was closed due to the movement and failure of a bridge pile, with onsite structural assessments confirming that the bridge would need to be replaced.

Council successfully recently received $16.2M funding from Transport for NSW under the Fixing Country Bridges funding scheme, and this funding, along with Council and

other co-contributions will fast track the delivery of our Shire’s Bridge Renewal Program, which will remove and replace twenty-seven bridges across the Shire so our local community, farmers and businesses can all safely travel across our transport network.

Total cost for these replacements is $23M. Subsequently, more than $499,000 in funds were immediately made available

to commence works in July 2021 to remove and replace the bridge, which features a concrete sub-structure for resilience and a timber super-structure to retain the original aesthetics values of the old timber bridge.

The long standing 3-tonne load limit of the old bridge has also been substantially increased to accommodate full size semi-trailers and to meet the transport and logistical

needs of our Shire’s local agriculture and farming industries.

This bridge is the first of the 27 structures identified for replacement under Fixing Country Bridges, so there’s a lot going on and with more than $18.53M of projects identified for delivery during this financial year’s Capital Works Program, Council staff are currently finalising a resourcing strategy to ensure we are in

Collingwood Magpies help to support Northern Heat representative program

By Aiden BURGESS

ONE of Australia’s most iconic sporting clubs have shown their support in lending a helping hand to the North Coast’s best junior Australian Rules players.

The Collingwood Magpies have provided valuable training equipment to the Northern Heat representative program.

The Collingwood connection comes through Northern Heat Sport Scientist Nic Morgan, who previously worked with the Magpies VFL team.

Community Football Manager North Coast and North West NSW, Paul Taylor, expressed appreciation for the support received from the iconic club and its former staff member.

“In a really exciting development for the Northern Heat, the Collingwood Magpies have thrown their support

“Our humble little regional program is coming to the attention of the big boys.

“Having the involvement of sport scientists like Nic Morgan and Matt Pine adds a really valuable level of expertise to the Northern Heat program.

“Tapping into their connections to elite clubs builds on the credibility that the Heat program has developed throughout the Northern NSW region.”

The Northern Heat junior representative squads spent last weekend training in Armidale at SportUNE, a session which involved footy specific training together with a strength and conditioning session.

The Northern Heat program runs squads at

Academy offer for Webster!

STORY STARTS on BACK COVER, Page 52

Webster is a classy wingback with crisp passing and solid tackling and it was Dutch international Kew Jaliens who spotted Webster at Northern NSW trials.

“I was first noticed by Kew Jaliens, the Northern NSW and Newcastle Jets Youth Technical Director, at trials for the Northern NSW under 16s girls team which were to compete at Nationals in Canberra.

“I was invited to do some training sessions with the Jets Academy but this was cancelled due to Covid and subsequent lockdowns.

“These sessions were

rescheduled and I recently attended two in November, a few days later, Kew sent an email with an offer of a place in the Jets Academy,” said Webster.

Now Webster has an offer on the table she is working through the practical details.

“I am hoping to do it full time but this is dependent on finding a suitable family to board with.

“If I move down I will attend Hunter Sports High School.

“If I can't find a family to board with, the second option is to join the academy on a part-time basis.

“Their preseason will start late January, 2022, I am really thrilled and excited to see where this opportunity

may lead me,” said Webster.

Alex Nolan, the NCF Head of Coaching and Development said, “It’s a great opportunity for Alice to have an offer to join the Newcastle Jets Academy.

“The A-League Women’s is starting to see more girls as young as 16 getting a chance to play at the top level, women’s football is growing rapidly and we are delighted to see Alice thriving, she has a fantastic attitude and is ambitious which will go a long way.

“North Coast Football has been building on our relationship with the Jets and Alice will be one of many we hope to see in their academy over the next few years,” said Alex.

Sawtell footballer to spend 2022 with Sydney Swans feeder clubs

q Sawtell’s Angus Anderson in action playing for the Sydney Swans Academy team.

By Aiden BURGESS FORMER Sawtell/Toormina Saints player Angus Anderson has been offered the chance to play with the Sydney Swans feeder clubs in 2022, after not being selected in this year’s AFL Draft.

The Swans have made him an offer to play in the club’s NAB League (under 18s) and VFL teams in 2022, as well as training twice a week with the club’s AFL listed players.

The 17-year-old spent this year taking part in the Sydney Swans Academy and made his VFL debut for the Swans, which is the secondbest Aussie Rules league in

Australia.

In his recent column for the Herald Sun, Anderson was highlighted by draft guru Kevin Sheehan as one of the players who were unlucky not to be selected.

After a 2020 season in the Swans system, the young midfielder said he couldn't wait to take up the chance to stay with the Swans next year.

"I'm really looking forward to getting down to Sydney and getting stuck into the training,” he said.

"I wanted the chance to challenge myself and learn as much as possible, and the opportunity offered by the Swans allows me to do just that.

"Following the draft I've received a couple of offers to move to Melbourne to play NAB League and VFL but chose to remain with the Sydney Swans development program as it's the best fit for me right now."

As an overage player in the NAB League team (Under 18), Anderson will be expected to take on a leadership role within the group.

His time with the Swans will be managed by the senior club, rather than the Swans Academy, and rubbing shoulders with the elite players on a daily basis will help build not only his footy skills, but also his leadership capabilities.

The opportunity with the Sydney Swans may lead to Anderson being considered

by AFL clubs during either the Pre-Season Supplemental Selection Period which is

After being on for just three minutes, Wheeler's perfect tackle of attacking

USA midfielder Ashley Sanchez led to the young Matilda feeding the ball to teammate Steph Catley, who played a cross to superstar Sam Kerr who set up Kyah Simon for the equaliser in the 88th minute.

“The bulk of the team will go on with us in the 2022 season in the under 16s, so we are looking forward to getting on the pitch very soon,” said Nathan.

“The key to that goal is Clare Wheeler’s tackle, and we said we needed to be more physical, win our fight plan, our one-on-one duels, and Clare was the game changer that came in with that mindset, and without that tackle we wouldn’t have scored so huge credit to her,” he said.

Wheeler made her fifth

Before making her Matildas debut, she had represented her country at a junior level playing 10 matches for the Australian Under 20s side.

The new Matildas player was born in Coffs Harbour but grew up playing her junior football

in Newcastle, when at the tender age of 15 she made her big-time debut playing for the Newcastle Jets in the 2013-14 W-League season.

The talented midfielder would play over seven years with her hometown team before moving to Sydney FC for the most recent A-League Women season.

Wheeler would switch clubs again in June this year joining Danish league champions Fortuna Hjørring.

At a Reasonable Price.

A sacrificial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efficiently working system and a costly replacement.

Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion. After its 5th birthday – warranty expires.

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

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

NORTH Coast Football’s Alice Webster impressed at Northern NSW Football trials last month and received an offer to join the Newcastle Jets Youth Academy from Kew Jaliens, the Newcastle Jets and Northern NSW Football Youth Technical Director.

Jaliens was a former Dutch international who played in the FIFA 2006 World Cup where the central defender helped Holland hold Lionel Messi’s Argentina scoreless to a 0-0 draw in the group stages.

Jaliens played in the Eredivisie, the top tier in Dutch football for fourteen years before signing for the Newcastle Jets and ending his professional career in Australia.
