By Andrea FERRARI LIBRARY Lovers’ Day is celebrated on 14 February each year to honour libraries, librarians, book lovers, and lovers of libraries.

At Coffs Harbour Regional Library, the theme of love is going to be in the air throughout February.

Narelle Hallam, CHCC Cultural & Community Services, shares the community message with NOTA, “This year’s theme is ‘Show the love’ so we began by asking staff if they have a favourite romance novel, a love poem, or a love quote or can recommend a book they love.”

recommend, below.

And now it’s your turn.

Coffs Harbour Regional Library would love you to share what you love about the library.

Why do you visit the library?

They pose a prompt suggestion for you to add your comment - “This year, my library helped me…”

Take a photo of yourself in the library and post it on your socials.

Tag @CoffsHarbourLibraries and #LibraryLoversDay or go old-school and use one of the ‘Show your love’ slips available at the library.

Coffs Harbour has an in-library display of some of the popular romance novels and love stories.

Here's three recommendations for ‘love stories’ from Coffs Harbour Library Assistants.

“I LOVE the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon,” said Rhy. “I’m a romantic at heart and I love the history, the passion and the adventure in this wonderful series.”

It’s available in the library in print and audiobooks as well as the video and DVD series.

Claire Randall is a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743.

She is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened.

When she is forced to marry a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire's heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown is Surinder’s recommendation.

“I came across Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown and loved it.

“It explores 87 human emotions and experiences.

“The book has an attractive layout and is easy to start reading from anywhere.

“I loved it so much that I gifted it to someone as a Christmas present.”

Amanda recommends Well Hello by Annabel Crabb and Leigh Sales.

In their first book together, the pair takes a stroll through some of the issues of our time, offering advice for would-be writers, thoughts on developing a rich reading life, tips for navigating the perilous

world of social media, and the secrets of a great friendship, all with the digressions that listeners of their podcast have come to love.

Here Crabb and Sales discuss kindness, success and failure, and not taking yourself – or others – too seriously, with a liberal sprinkling of fairy wrens, granny pants, show tunes, creative insults, diabolical mum bags and CLANGs. "I love the library, there are wonders and worlds in there, waiting for explorers,” Amanda said.

woman while the woman and ‘Oscar’ left with another woman in a white SUV driven by a man.

“This was a nasty attack by a dog that was actually on a lead, but not under any effective control,” said Gordon Polkinghorne, Council’s Team Leader Rangers/Animal Shelter.

“We gather that there were a lot of people at the reserve at the time of the incident and we’re hoping that they will get in touch and provide us with information or photos that can help us identify the dog so we can take appropriate action.”

Witnesses are urged to call 6648 4000 or make email contact at coffs.council@chcc.nsw. gov.au.

“Even if the dog or owner can’t be identified from what you can provide after an incident, it’s worth reporting as we may get further information from other people that will help us take action,” Mr Polkinghorne said.

Anyone who is attacked or witnesses an attack by a dog is encouraged to contact Council with as many details as possible, especially time, place and date; description of the dog; whether it has a collar and any name used; descriptions of owner including their age, build, identifying features; car description and registration; and any photos taken.

Plea for Moonee Beach Dog Attack Witnesses COFFS Council Rangers are asking for help following a dog attack that left a woman with bites on her leg and hand.

According to a Coffs Council spokesperson, the attack happened on the creek shore at Moonee Creek Reserve near the children’s playground on Sunday 30 January around 1.30pm.

The victim described the dog as a brindle-coloured, cross-bred, male American Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

She said the dog bit her on the back of the thigh while she was paddling with her sons.

Council reports that the woman was bitten again on the hand when she tried to protect a nearby toddler from the lunging dog.

Concerned it would maul the child, the woman was kicking at the dog when it bit her hand.

Both bites required medical attention.

Council reports that a woman thought to be in her 40s with tattoos on her arms and legs had the dog on a lead but was unable to control the animal.

It’s believed the dog’s name is ‘Oscar’.

Passersby came to the aid of the injured

CORRECTION: Judy Smith NEWS Of The Area would like to provide a correction and issue an apology for misnaming a wonderful local volunteer in a story in our February 4 Edition q Judy Smith has cooked up over 2000 meals for the homeless.

(‘Former Cook Looks Out For Local Homeless’, p18).

Judy Smith, who we incorrectly called Judy Cook in our photo caption, has cooked up more than 2000 meals for the homeless in her own home, and plans to get a van and fit it out with cooking facilities so she can deliver meals in the evenings too.

Apologies Judy, and thank you for all your hard work making our community a better place.

Manager at Observatory Holiday Apartments told NOTA, “After a very challenging twelve months it is very rewarding to be recognised at the NSW Tourism Awards.

“We are focused on providing excellent service for our guests and continue to look for innovative ways to improve and this was the main focus of our submission.

“The award is a testament to the hard working Observatory team and I thank all of them immensely.

“Even though the live Sydney Awards event was cancelled, in true Coffs fashion our local operators came together for the Virtual Awards event to acknowledge all our achievements over the last two years, which was fitting as many of our achievements have happened by working together collaboratively.

“Critters Distillery, a finalist in the Awards, hosted an excellent event and it was great to be able to celebrate together when the awards were announced, along with friends from Coffs Coast Tourism.”

By Andrea FERRARI LOCAL pensioner Judy, whose rent has been increased from $315 a week to $450 a week, has received huge support from the Coffs community where she has lived in the same unit for 38 years.

Following NOTA’s story in last week’s paper (4 February) and local news stations ABC Coffs Coast and Nine News taking up Judy’s plight with interviews, the 83-year-old is now being supported with a GoFundMe. Organised by her daughter-in-law Evonne, the GoFundMe goal is $5,000.

choice but to move out.

Horrified by the rent hike, Judy’s family has rallied around her.

Judy's son Mark and his wife Evonne are moving out of their home and are seeking a larger house where they can accommodate Judy.

Evonne tells News Of The Area, “She needs to vacate by 21 March.

“The GoFundMe money raised will help with the bond, moving costs, and penalties that we will incur for breaking our lease so we can find a larger property to fit everyone in.

“Judy has been living a very independent healthy life, going out for coffee with a close group of friends, she is still able to drive herself around short distances when needed.

“Judy would never have considered moving from her home of 38 years.

“Emotionally this is devastating for someone of her age, who was led to believe she would be living there as long as needed, and the upset of having to get rid of her belongings.

“Our reaction is more disappointment that a resident of 38 years could be treated this way.

“Especially considering for the past

three months Judy has had no access to her back living area/ clothesline, due to body corporate incompetence and politics between owners.

“We were pleased to hear that Judy had a phone call from her Property Manager at First National yesterday.

“They are refunding her $40 a week from when the backyard work started in October 2021, and from 1 February the $40 discount continues until it's completed.

“This is all due to her Property Manager negotiating with the owner - he's been great.

“It's a small thing to happen but it's better than nothing.

“However, the Property Manager has been instructed by the owner to increase the rent to his advised Market Value.

“We offered a lower affordable rent without success.

“Judy has already had two TIAs (Transient Ischemic Attack) knowing she will still have to move.

“All she wants is to be allowed to stay in her home of 38 years, near her wonderful friends and surroundings.

“Judy believes having her story told hopefully helps this not happen to other people “The available rental properties in Coffs Harbour are out of reach for so many people.

“Cheap housing development seems to be a dirty word for Council and local governments,” said Evonne.

EPA targets pesticide impacts in Hearnes Lake catchment THE NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is focusing on horticultural farms in the Hearnes Lake Catchment Area to protect local waterways and aquatic life from pesticide runoff and impacts.

Nine recent inspections conducted by the EPA saw two cucumber growers issued with Clean-up Notices to manage their pesticides.

The cucumber farmers must remove old containers, plants and sawdust found near Houp Gully, a sub-catchment of Hearnes Lake.

The discarded items located near the waterway were potentially contaminated with pesticide.

The notice also requires the farmers to stop water containing fertiliser being discharged into the gully.

EPA Director of Regulatory Operations Steve Orr said more local inspections are planned and warned anyone found using pesticides irresponsibly will face regulatory action.

“We want to ensure our waterways and our sensitive environment stays clean and safe and producers have a responsibility to manage their operations in accordance with environmental laws.

“The EPA’s website has information on preventing pesticide misuse and if farmers need more information they can call the Environment Line on 131 555.”

The upcoming inspections of horticulture properties in the region will focus on pesticide use, storage, record keeping and wastewater management.

In November, the EPA carried out water sampling at six sites in Houp Gully and low levels of the poisonous insecticide imidacloprid were identified.

“Whilst low levels were detected, imidacloprid is toxic to fish and aquatic species living in these waterways,” Mr Orr said.

The EPA is continuing to investigate the use of imidacloprid-based pesticides

“hopes to capture what NSW has been working towards and the importance vaccinations play in getting there”.

“It’s been a tough two years but we can’t lose sight of what we’re all aiming for, which is to get everyday life back to as close to normal as possible,” Mr Singh said.

Singh said the updated campaign will reinforce the importance of getting a COVID-19 booster to reduce the risk of severe illness and to help protect communities.

He said while NSW has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world getting the

Boost For Ad Campaign

q booster shot “is key to strengthening our protection against variants like Omicron”.

“This campaign celebrates the resilience and strength of the NSW community and encourages everyone aged sixteen years and older to get their booster shot three months after their second dose,” Mr Singh said.

Mr Singh reminded local residents the booster shot was important “regardless of whether they’ve had the virus”.

“To be fully vaccinated and have the best protection possible, go and get the booster four to six weeks after recovering from the virus.

“The fact that you’ve had COVID-19 doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t get it again and the

next time you may end up in ICU or worse,” Mr Singh said.

Those aged five and older can get vaccinated and booster appointments are available to everyone aged sixteen and older at pharmacies, GPs, Aboriginal Medical Services and more than 40 NSW Health clinics as well as outreach and pop-up clinics across the State.

“Go out, get that third shot as soon as you’re eligible and protect yourself, your family and your friends,” Mr Singh said.

“When you’re eligible that is the time to get your booster to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and your community.”

BLZ_LP3247

THE NSW Government’s ‘Let’s Do This’ advertising campaign is broadening to encourage everyone sixteen years and older to get their COVID-19 booster shot.

The advertising campaign will run in addition to existing COVID safety campaigns, across print, television, radio, outdoor, digital and social media.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said that like the original ‘Let’s Do This’ campaign released in August the new ad

locally to ensure it is applied to crops in accordance with legal requirements.

No other pesticides were detected in the waterways.

The EPA’s water quality tests were conducted after the Hearne’s Lake Catchment Management Group contacted the EPA with

results from their own water sampling.

A person convicted of wilfully or negligently using a pesticide in a manner that harms any non-target animal or plant can be fined up to $120,000 or $250,000 in the case of a corporation.

Water quality is important to both human health and the environment.

If anyone has information on the misuse of pesticides please contact the EPA on 131 555.

Storyland Enhances SWIFF 2022

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Screenwave International Film Festival (SWIFF) for 2022 will be enhanced by a one-day outdoor live music and multi-arts event.

Independent, experimental ‘anti-influencer’ Courtney Barnett will headline the inaugural line-up of Coffs Harbour’s STORYLAND at SWIFF’22.

Ms Barnett is renowned for bringing her brand of deft lyricism and authentic, unrepeatable performances across America and Europe.

She will be joined by twice Grammy-nominated jazz funk band Hiatus Kaiyote, Melbourne’s local dreamy pop artist Hachiku, multi-ARIA Awardnominated R&B singer Ngaiire, Gumbaynggiirr and Noongar singer songwriter Emma Donovan, nostalgic jangle pop three-guitar band Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, and New Orleans inspired seven-piece raucous street brass band

Horns of Leroy.

To introduce the inaugural story of STORYLAND, prolific First Nations Creative Directors Zakpage (Barangaroo Reserve’s Cutaway Wellama) and animation artist and musician Caleb Cowie (K+LAB) kick off the inaugural STORYLAND with an original multi-media narrative artwork.

In addition to these brilliant acts, the festival will display immersive installation works for patrons to explore their senses.

STORYLAND will feature ‘One Second of Film’, a 10.5m tall rotating double helix film sculpture designed by Clint Hurrell (Splendour in the Grass, Woodford), ‘Movie Trailer Park’, a three piece artwork, each with a diorama of a film, housed in caravans that sit amongst STORYLAND’s makeshift trailer park food trucks, created by artist and production designer Sarah Stollman

10 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

This will be an 18 and over event and part of its vision is to create a sense of adventure and play through a collection of tactile, immersive art installations basically, patrons can have a beer and wander through an outdoor art gallery.

There is a cinematic backbone to STORYLAND - across the event, a live cinematic story will unfold, told across chapters of original performance, elaborate costume, experiences, and projection art that will weave through

the event, ultimately telling a riveting story.

It will be like watching a movie but in real life, not theatre, but different.

STORYLAND adds an exciting new live music and arts component to SWIFF’s extensive 16day film festival program, which encompasses 120+ feature film screenings, performances and events, with Australian screen icon Jack Thompson chairing the Festival Patrons line-up in 2022.

“We can’t wait to unveil STORYLAND.” SWIFF is presented by tailor-made furniture company Ashton Designs, with STORYLAND supported by the Australian Federal

Government’s RISE Fund, Create NSW and the Department of Regional NSW. STORYLAND will be held on the Coffs Coast waterfront at Park Beach Reserve on Saturday 23 April and NSW Discover Vouchers can be credited towards the ticket costs, and tickets can be purchased at www.swiff.com.au.

Landmark State-Federal Agreement To Build Dozens of Local Affordable Homes

By Paul FOGARTY

q Frank Price, CEO of the Royal Freemasons Benevolent Institution which put forward the ‘innovative proposal’ for affordable housing at Bellingen.

UP to 40 ‘affordable homes’ will be built across two locations in Bellingen for low-income older women following a landmark agreement between the state and federal governments and the Royal Freemasons Benevolent Institution (RFBI).

State Member for Oxley Melinda Pavey said the State and Federal governments would jointly fund the $10 million project to deliver “much-needed low-cost housing” for low-income women over the age of 55.

“House prices and rents on the mid-North coast have risen by 30 percent in the past 12 months placing incredible pressure on housing markets like Coffs Harbour and Bellingen,” Mrs Pavey said.

“Women aged 55 and over are the fastest growing demographic when it comes to homelessness and this agreement will allow us to bring forward new homes faster.

This $5 million investment by the State Government will change the lives of vulnerable people for generations to come.”

Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said the dwellings would be built at two sites owned by the RFBI at Watson Street and Bowra Street, Bellingen.

“In order to tackle some of the housing challenges facing NSW we need to embrace partnerships,” Mr Conaghan said.

“The RFBI put forward an innovative proposal that I agreed was critical for our community.

“I contacted then Deputy

Prime Minister Michael McCormack to secure the $5million of Federal Funding.

“The day following the appointment of Barnaby Joyce back into the role of Deputy Prime Minister, I met with him to ensure that funding would continue.

“This project represents value for money to Government and will ensure a safe space for older, vulnerable women.”

“This project has come directly out of local community concerns and our mission as an organization to care for the vulnerable,” said Frank Price, CEO of RFBI. “I’m very pleased to be able to partner with both the Commonwealth and NSW Governments to deliver affordable housing … greatly needed by the local community,” Mr Price said.

Hall of Fame for Urunga Riverside Holiday Resort

By Andrea FERRARI

URUNGA’S Riverside Holiday Resort has been inducted into the prestigious NSW Tourism Awards Hall of Fame, for taking out top honours in the SelfContained Accommodation category for the third year in a row.

The NSW Tourism Awards 2021 were announced at a virtual ceremony on 3 February.

“The NSW Tourism Awards are a celebration of the outstanding resilience and innovative spirit demonstrated by our magnificent industry over the past two years,” said NSW Tourism Industry Council Executive Manager, Greg Binskin.

Rebecca Beaton, Resort Manager and Federation of Community, Sporting & Workers Clubs (FCSWC) Group’s Marketing Manager told News Of The Area, “I am unbelievably proud, winning the Self-Contained Accommodation category for three years in a row and now entering the Hall of Fame is our highest achievement.

“We have also won Excellence in Accessible Tourism for the past two years and feel so proud to offer exceptional accommodation and facilities to all guests regardless of their abilities.

“The past few years have been hard for everyone.

“Here, the entire Riverside Holiday Resort Team pulled together and

went over and above to cater to each of our guests’ individual needs.

“Through the peak of Covid in 2020 and 2021 we offered discounted emergency accommodation to those in our community most in need.

“Working for a not-forprofit organisation (FCSWC) with wonderful values meant we were able to keep people safe and keep staff employed during the pandemic.

“Customer service is the most important thing and making sure each guest’s needs are not only met but well and truly exceeded, is so important to us.

“We were all very disappointed when the NSW Tourism Awards (due to be

held at Luna Park, Sydney) was cancelled and converted to an online event.

“Having said that, NSW Tourism pulled off an exceptional night.

“There is a first time for everything and I must say, I have never done my hair and makeup and climbed into bed before….ha!”

Rebecca Beaton is now looking forward to the prestigious Australian Tourism Awards which will be held on 18 March on the Sunshine Coast.

“I am really looking forward to celebrating our success along with all the other tourism operators within Australia. “Fingers crossed the event goes ahead as planned so we can all enjoy a face-to-face get together with friends in our industry…well done to the entire Riverside Holiday Resort Team and go NSW.”

Cancer Council survey

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Cancer Council is calling on cancer patients and carers in the Mid North Coast to have their say in cancer support needs Residents of the Mid North Coast who have been affected by cancer are being asked to join the Cancer Council NSW survey to share their cancer support needs to help identify services needed in the area.

As part of Cancer Council's efforts to improve the quality of life of cancer patients and carers, the charity is conducting a survey that will investigate the supportive care needs of people affected by cancer.

The aim of the research is to identify needs that are not being met and the difficulties

that people experience when accessing cancer support services.

The study will ask participants about their supportive care needs such as physical and daily living, psychological, access to services, and financial needs.

Louise Jeffs, Community Programs Coordinator at Cancer Council’s Coffs Harbour’s office said that anyone with a current or past cancer diagnosis and those caring for someone affected by cancer can take part in the research.

“The findings from this research will be used to plan Cancer Council services and to campaign for broader health system changes to make sure all people affected by cancer are able to find the support they need,” said

Louise.

“We know that people affected by cancer in rural and remote areas of NSW may experience barriers when accessing cancer care and support compared to those living in metropolitan areas.

“These may include travelling long distances for their treatments and out-ofpocket costs.

“By Mid North Coast locals sharing their cancer experiences for our research, we can gain a better understanding about what the gaps are in supportive care and the current unmet needs of those affected by cancer in our community,” concluded Louise.

Mid North Coast residents affected by cancer can learn more and participate in the study by visiting

Regional Community Support (CRCS) program.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said local not-for-profits and community groups can apply to recoup up to $30,000 of costs incurred when distributing vital supports such as fuel, couriers and logistics expenses during lockdown.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic groups across our region stood up to help their fellow community members with deliveries of vital supplies when they were needed most,” Mr Singh said.

Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience Steph Cooke said the NSW Government was

committed to supporting community groups and not-for-profits in their important work.

“We know that many community groups had to dip into their own funds to distribute hampers and relief packs to people who needed extra support during last year’s lockdown,” Ms Cooke said.

The Cancer Council says, “We’re here to help.”

Great events for Coffs

By David WIGLEY

LOCAL promoters John Logan Entertainment (JLE) have launched an impressive line-up of outdoor events for March and April on the Coffs Coast, kicking off with the Summer Beach Hop on 26 March.

The popular retro music festival returns to the Jetty Foreshores with the Australian Beach Boys headlining and a blockbuster retro car show to boot.

John Logan is looking forward to the festival bouncing back after a two year hiatus.

“This year we want 100 cars, it’s going to be a spectacular car event.

“We have the advantage of working with two car clubs and we are confident the first event in two years will be a success.”

This show came about late last year when John Logan, John Logan Entertainment, asked Woopi Brewing co-owner Sarah Poole if she knew who Daniel Champagne was.

It turned out Sarah was a big fan, having seen him perform in Melbourne, and a plan was hatched to get him

to Woolgoolga.

“We’re pumped about the opportunity of bringing talent like Daniel Champagne to the Brewery in our little coastal town of Woolgoolga.

“It’s going to be an epic night of entertainment,” said Sarah.

End of Life conversations

By Andrea FERRARI

A NEW Lancet Commission calls for public attitudes to death and dying to be rebalanced, away from a narrow, medicalised approach towards a compassionate community model, where communities and families work with health and social care services to care for people dying.

Bringing together experts in health and social care, social science, economics, philosophy, political science, theology, community work, as well as patient and community activists, the

Commission has analysed how societies around the world perceive death and care for people dying, providing recommendations to policy makers, governments, civil society, and health and social care systems.

Dr Libby Sallnow, a palliative medicine consultant and honorary senior clinical lecturer at St Christopher’s Hospice and UCL (UK) and co-Chair of the Commission said, “How people die has changed dramatically over the past 60 years, from a family event with occasional medical support, to a medical event

with limited family support.

“To achieve the widespread changes needed, the Commission sets out key recommendations for policy makers, health and social care systems, civil society, and communities.”

The recommendations include: 1: Education on death, dying, and end of life care should be essential for people at the end of life, their families and health and social care professionals.

2: Increasing access to pain relief at the end of life must be a global priority, and the management of suffering

“I agree, but I truly believe we need to take this one step further and be having conversations about death and dying, breaking down the taboo now while people are healthy and well, not just at the end of life.

Headspace webinars support teenage mental health

By Andrea FERRARI

NAVIGATING the ups and downs of dealing with teen mental health is the focus of free webinar workshops being offered to parents and carers by mental health organisation headspace.

Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour, is bringing the offer to the attention of local parents and carers saying that the start of a new school year can be as unsettling as it is exciting, and our young people’s mental health must be a focus.

“New beginnings can be uncomfortable and anxietyprovoking, especially alongside all the challenges of being a teenager,” said Mr Singh.

“Currently rolling out across NSW, the series of free mental health education webinars are open to those who want to learn more about how to support young people aged twelve to 25 in difficult times,” Phillip Stone, Team Lead NSW, headspace Schools told News Of The Area.

In Term 1, 2022, the webinars will focus on the topics, ‘Communicating with my young person’ and ‘Helping my young person during COVID-19’.

The webinars aim to support parents and carers of young people to: • Strengthen their understanding of mental health • Enhance the conversational approach to

mental health and wellbeing with young people • Build skills and strategies to support young people, including transitions to work and study • Build awareness of local, state, and national supports available to young people Joining each webinar will be a panel of experts, including local headspace centre staff and representatives from other local mental health services.

“The speakers will empower attendees to understand what services are available in their community.

With origins dating back to 450 BC in the former Canton, the Chinese activity of Dragon Boating is surrounded by legend, customs and traditions that are still carried out today.

“Once christened, we hope that it will be as fast as the wind and carry us to many racing victories,” said Club President Sue Hughes.

Each dragon boat has an ornately carved dragon's head at the bow and tail in the stern and is painted with scales.

The paddles symbolically represent the dragon's claws, the drum which is primarily used during racing represents the heart.

“If you haven’t seen a dragon boat in action, they are a very majestic, colourful sight and hold up to 20 paddlers,” said Sue. For more information call 0418 953 882.

KEVIN Rubie, long-time Coffs Coast businessman and former co-owner of The Big Banana passed away on Tuesday 24 January 2022.

His funeral was held at Mt Thompson crematorium in Holland Park, Brisbane on Wednesday 2 February.

Graham Bell, founder of local not-for-profit community radio station 2AIRFM, paid tribute to a man who worked hard for Coffs Harbour.

“I have known Kevin for many years as he would ring me during my Saturday morning ABC programs and have a chat on air,” Graham told News Of The Area.

“Kevin enjoyed country music.

“In 1998 I decided to try and win a community radio licence that was on offer for Coffs Harbour.

“I began by talking to the service clubs in Coffs Harbour and Sawtell, saying the radio station I had in mind would play pop and country music.

“Local radio stations did not broadcast any of that music.

“The response was overwhelming because older people wanted to hear music they knew,” Graham said.

It was at this point that Mr Rubie came on board to offer his assistance.

Love is in the Air

By David WIGLEY

LOVE is in the air for Woolgoolga’s Kailey Pallas who has recorded a love song called ‘Valentine’ to be released on Valentine’s Day, 14 February.

Kailey plays at many venues on the Coffs Coast but when Covid struck and gigs were cancelled she poured her energy into writing and creating new music.

At only 21 years old, this is Kailey’s fifth single.

Kailey told News Of The Area why she wanted to release a love song.

“As my fifth song released on all streaming platforms I wanted to record a love

song and what better day to release a love song than Valentine’s Day. “I think for many artists, love songs are very open, deep and personal, it’s a way for an artist to be vulnerable and connect through music with your audience because at some stage in everyone’s life we all feel the feeling of love, it’s an emotion everyone can relate to.

“For my song ‘Valentine’ I wanted to bring people together, bring back memories and inspire people to make new memories with those that they love “This song mixes two diverse genres of music, classical and pop together

to create a unique fusion, it’s one that I hope people will connect with and relate to.

“Valentine will be released on February 14 and will be available on all streaming services at Kailey Pallas Music on Facebook or kaileypallasmusic.com.

“After the song is released we will be filming the video in Woolgoolga, there’s lots of spectacular backdrops in Woolgoolga suited for a love song.

“After months of practice and rehearsals I am really excited to be performing the song live for the first time at Woopi Brewery, the day before the official release,” said Kailey.

Landscapes & Seascapes at Showground Gallery

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Coffs Harbour Creative Arts Group (CHCAG) members’ first exhibition for 2022, ‘Landscapes & Seascapes’, opened at the Coffs Harbour Showground Gallery on Sunday 6 February, alongside Artist of the Month Colin Maltravers’s own collection of cloud and seascape paintings.

Colin is a long-time CHCAG member and an artist since his youth in a variety of media: pen and ink, oils, watercolours, and acrylics.

He has won numerous prizes, and his works have found their way into homes both in Australia and abroad.

In his career as a primary school teacher and later at the Sydney College of Painting, Colin had the opportunity

to teach as well as learn art techniques and develop his own unique style.

His wife Felicity, also a CHCAG member, enjoys painting too.

Felicity’s works are colourful, vibrant, and full of movement.

CHCAG boasts members skilled in a variety of disciplines, with a fabulous mosaic mirror and glass

water scene, painted porcelain, wood saws, and knitted pieces, as well as watercolours, acrylics, drawings, and printmaking works on display.

The previous exhibition’s People’s Choice Award is also on show.

Won by Ivinnie Brown, she commented that it is a real thrill to win the People’s Choice, knowing your work was liked and appreciated by members and visitors alike.

Neighbourhood Centre offers free carer workshops

By Andrea FERRARI

GETTING care when someone you care about is impacted by drugs or alcohol is available at Coffs Neighbourhood Centre.

Di Woods, Manager at Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre tells News Of The Area, “When someone close to us has issues with drugs or alcohol, they may not recognise it.

“They may not want to change.

“However, there are significant negative impacts on family and friends who are close to the person who is struggling with drug or alcohol use.

“They often experience heightened levels of anxiety, depression and a higher care-giving burden.

“Many feel helpless and isolated.

“Family members who find themselves in this situation need and deserve help in their own right,” Di said.

To support local families and carers Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre has partnered with Family

Drug Support to offer free workshops.

The Stepping Forward workshop will help carers and families recognise stages of change in a carer journey and how to find balance, tips for effective communication and setting

boundaries.

This will be held all day on Sunday March 6.

Support the Family Improve the Outcome is a day-long workshop on Friday 4 March.

It is designed to increase awareness, response and

skills to support families and is targeted to services and volunteers.

“Research shows that improving family communication and skills to help people cope can reduce negative impacts and harm for family members

www.newsofthearea.com.au

including children,” said Di. “Recent National Mental Health and Wellbeing Pandemic Response Plan information has highlighted that there has been an escalation in drug and alcohol use to cope with trauma, depression anxiety and isolation.”

Some behaviours to watch out for include withdrawal from others,

difficulty sleeping, lack of motivation and increased use of alcohol or other substances.

Alarmingly, ABS data shows that alcohol-induced death rates increased by 8.3% in 2020.

“We have recognised that many ‘new carers’ are emerging.

“Families, partners and friends are only just starting to recognise and experience impacts of their loved one’s substance use,” said Di. Many carers often do not identify as such, they may just see themselves as a partner, parent or friend and therefore may not adequately identify and recognise that support is available.

“Carers may be struggling alone, but there is help available,” Di urged.

Bookings are essential for these workshops and lunch will be provided.

Contact Di Woods to book at volunteeringcoffs@ chnc.com.au or phone 02 6648 3663.

Film shoot at Mylestom's North Beach

By Susan KONTIC

NORTH Beach, Mylestom was turned into a film set for a short time last week when it became the location for scenes from a new TV drama series produced by Lost Flowers Productions Pty Ltd for Amazon Prime.

News of the filming trickled through slowly

to residents of the small village about 20 minutes south of Coffs Harbour, but curiosity grew as the Filming Notification letter, which had been left on the verandah of a River Street home, was passed around.

The letter assured residents that, while fourwheel-drive access would be restricted, pedestrian

Mr Flood said that women can and do compete equally with men.

He said that the $3/ week fee makes it accessible to everyone and everything provided, including bats, if needed.

Mr Flood and Mr Brady said that social interaction is another positive and important aspect of playing table tennis at the club.

OF the many opportunities for seniors on the Coffs Coast to keep physically and mentally healthy, one of the best, according to Mike Flood, is table tennis.

Mr Flood is the Secretary of the Coffs Harbour Over 50s Table Tennis Club and he cites many benefits of the game for seniors.

Mr Flood says that table tennis can help keep dementia at bay because, as the ball doesn’t travel far, decisions have to be made quickly.

He points out that mobility and strength aren’t issues so that almost anyone can enjoy the sport.

The over 50s club has been going for almost 30 years and is in its eleventh year in its permanent home in the former museum, which it shares with the Coffs Harbour Table Tennis Club.

The over 50s can play six days a week, in the daytime, and the Coffs Harbour Table Tennis Club plays at night.

The two clubs share the facilities and have shared grants to provide a common space.

Club President Wayne Brady said, “We’re grateful to the Council for its support.”

Join the Pleasure survey

By Andrea FERRARI

IN a world where people place kudos on working long hours and only grabbing a few hours sleep, and feel guilty about savouring a yummy chocolate ice-cream, it might seem that simple pleasures are not valued anymore. Southern Cross University’s Coffs Harbour psychology researcher, Dr Desirée Kozlowski, is challenging that by launching a nationwide survey to find out how Australians perceive their own pleasure, or lack thereof.

And she’s inviting you to participate in the National Pleasure Audit, an online survey open to all Australians aged over 18.

So, why does Dr Kozlowski want to know more about our experiences of pleasure?

“Pleasure is well documented to be good

for our mental health and wellbeing, yet we have it upside down both individually and societally,” Dr Kozlowski told News Of The Area.

“The evidence is growing that increasing our range of pleasurable experiences has a wide range of benefits, from reducing perceived stress, depression and anxiety to increasing resilience, boosting our immune function and even to longevity,” she said.

A specialist in the research field of pleasure and emotional intelligence, Dr Kozlowski says many people think pleasure has to come from big things, like a holiday, yet that typically lasts just a couple of weeks.

“In fact, what seems to bring the most benefits is building a wider variety of small pleasures into each day.

“From stopping to enjoy the smell of coffee and the

warm feeling of the cup in your hand, to stepping into a hot shower, or walking on the grass with no shoes on, all these things can reduce our anxiety and stress,” she explains.

“With evidence that savouring can be increased through training, we know that such increases can produce an upward spiral of benefits over sustained periods.

“One way this works is by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, and that's all about rest and restoration,” Dr Kozlowski said.

“We become happier, nicer, and healthier people – and these health benefits flow on to society.”

Data from the survey will inform the scientific understanding of pleasure itself and provide foundations for future interventions to boost pleasure in order to

improve health and quality of life.

The National Pleasure Audit is an anonymous online survey consisting of questions about experiences that people find to be pleasurable, together with

Doubts Over Job Creation Fund Efficacy

By Paul FOGARTY

BUSINESSES can now apply for Round Two of the NSW Government’s $140 million Regional Job Creation Fund, set to create 2000 new jobs in regional NSW over a threeyear period.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole today announced applications were open for a share of $40 million available in Round Two.

“Round One of the Regional Job Creation Fund provided funding to help businesses expand, attract investment, and relocate to regional NSW, supporting more than 100 regional projects and creating nearly 5,000 new jobs in key engine industries,” Mr Toole said.

While welcoming the potential funding for the region, Coffs Harbour Labor spokesperson on State issues Tony Judge said it is “poorly

targeted, too little to deal with entrenched unemployment in the Coffs Harbour region”.

“The allocation of $140 million seems a lot of money until you realise that it needs to be spread across all of regional NSW,” Mr Judge said.

“When you compare it with the $2 billion this State government spent on knocking down and rebuilding a single football stadium in Sydney, it gives you a fair idea of where their

local goori creatives

priorities lie.”

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the fund would help businesses expand production and provide incentives to move operations to the bush.

“Regional NSW is the engine room of the state and providing support to companies to expand their operations helps to stimulate regional economies, boost livelihoods and provide local employment,” Mr Singh said.

growth plans, expand their operations and creates a solid base for job creation now and into the future,” Mr Singh said.

Grants ranging from $100,000 to $5 million are available under the scheme to help fund plant equipment replacement, upgrading technology and developing iconic tourism experiences.

Mr Judge said if the funding round was similar to the first round “it will be sprinkled lightly across a lot of regional electorates rather than spent strategically on building industries that regional NSW needs”.

“My concern is whether the jobs created under this scheme will survive past the end of State funding,” Mr Judge said.

Destination Australia Scholarships help SCU students

By Andrea FERRARI

SOUTHERN Cross University has attracted nearly a million dollars in scholarship funding for students who commence their studies at the University’s Coffs Harbour and Lismore campuses this year.

Part of the Australian Government’s Destination Australia scheme, the scholarship provides selected full-time students $15,000 per year to complete their degree, for a maximum of four years.* Vice President, Engagement, Mr Ben Roche said the scholarships were a fantastic incentive to study regionally.

“We’re lucky enough to be located in some of Australia’s most beautiful regions with beaches and World Heritage rainforests literally at our doorstep.

“Immersing yourself in the lifestyle and studying here is really quite a privilege and these scholarships can make it that much more affordable,” he said.

Bachelor of Occupational Therapy student Caleb Bosshard received a Destination Australia scholarship in 2021.

He says it has given him greater capacity to achieve the grades he wants by being able to redirect his focus on

study instead of worrying about finances.

“The Destination Australia Scholarship has been helpful for me.

‘I’m receiving $15,000 a year which adds up to $60,000 over the four years of my degree,” said Caleb, who

lives in Dorrigo and studies at Southern Cross University Coffs Harbour campus.

“When studying full time, the last thing you want to worry about is money.

“The Destination Australia scholarship has really helped me focus on what's important and pursue my passion in Occupational Therapy.

“Without it, I would not be where I am today.

q Caleb Bosshard lives in Dorrigo and studies at Coffs SCU.

“I am able to work part-time as a lifeguard at Dorrigo Swim Centre and and continue with studies fulltime.

“The scholarship takes a load off so I can put my main focus on my degree.

“My words of advice for anyone who wants to apply is get in and organised and do it as early as possible, ahead of the suggested timeline.

“I’d definitely recommend students to apply.”

Caleb says he is glad he could study Occupational Therapy locally in the Coffs Harbour region to continue living near family and enjoying the regional coastal lifestyle, while studying at a University with smaller class sizes, where the teachers know you by name.

He said another highlight of the course is learning in state-of-the-art health facilities.

“The new Health Sciences Building at Southern Cross Uni Coffs Harbour campus has taken the study of the health sciences to the next level.

“Its cutting-edge facilities and engaging environment has helped me develop the

their back yards to grow plants for pleasure or the joy of growing and eating their own vegetables.

Gardening is good for you and its numerous benefits are well documented.

“With much change in recent years in the way we work, and people looking to retrain and gain employment in other areas, the interest in horticulture, conservation and production horticulture has steadily increased.

Rhonda Burchmore brings Glamazonia to Coffs

By Andrea FERRARI

A UNIQUE version of ‘Hey Big Spender’ opens Rhonda Burchmore’s onewoman extravaganza show ‘Glamazonia’, coming to Coffs Harbour Jetty Memorial Theatre for one night only on Friday 25 February.

And if that’s not enough to get you inking the date in your diary, Rhonda told News Of The Area, “I am going to be with my incredible band and tantalising toy boys.”

Giving us a glimpse of what she’ll be performing, Rhonda said the show is loosely autobiographical “with some favourites and a lot of new things”.

“There’s inspirations from my greatest moments in the ‘80s on The Don Lane Show, The Mike Walsh Show and Hey Hey It’s Saturday,” she giggled, clearly reminiscing from her times on those fun, iconic Australian shows.

“We do everything from ‘I’m So Excited’ (The Pointer Sisters) to Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’ to some wonderful ballads.

“I do an ode to my wonderful time when I was in I’m A Celebrity – Get Me Out Of Here in South Africa.

“We jump from everything; from London’s West End to my humble upbringing in Sydney, Australia to the deep, dark depths of the jungle in South

Africa and everything in between.”

Rhonda says she is thrilled to be coming back to perform in Coffs Harbour.

“The last time I was at the beautiful Jetty Memorial Theatre was in a sold-out show in 2017 and I loved everything about it.

“The people were so warm, and I had the best night.

“I guarantee the audience will enjoy this one

too.

“The last couple of years have been devastating for us in the arts.

“Since coming out of the jungle in 2020, I arrived to only hear about Covid and one by one all of my gigs were cancelled.

“And then again last year they were all cancelled and dominoed into this year.

“It’s been very hard.

Brearley explained.

“The Coffs Con is thrilled to announce the production of Disney's Frozen Junior which will be taking place at the Con in the September school holidays later this year.

“Bringing another major production to the Con's intimate performance space is another milestone achievement for the region.

“Audition dates will be released in the near future, with artistic and production crew announcements following shortly. “Students involved in the production will gain access to industry

leading professionals, and will get to take part in an intense yet incredibly rewarding experience throughout the whole process.

“Audition dates and information will be announced via the Conservatorium website at www.coffscon.org. au and social media pages.

“The Coffs Con can't wait to transform the performance space into another epic world and look forward to working with the incredibly talented and passionate students and professionals throughout the entire production,” said Brearley.

as the Service understands the importance of the decision that has been made by the donor.

The Service sees the gift of a bequest as an incredible act of generosity and a lasting legacy that gives back to our community.

So for many people, once they have provided for their loved ones, they are also choosing to leave a gift in their Will.

The gift of a bequest, large or small, can help make a difference and importantly, all support stays locally and directly supports the donor’s local base in either Newcastle, Tamworth or Lismore.

Westpac Rescue

Helicopter Service CEO, Richard Jones OAM said Wills Week is a convenient and personally rewarding opportunity to have an up to date Will prepared and also support the Service.

“Wills Week is not only a great opportunity to ensure that you have a current Will but it also helps to raise vital funds for the Rescue Helicopter.

“We sincerely appreciate everyone’s support and a special thank you to our participating solicitors and to those who are looking to leave the gift of a bequest to help our Service to continue saving lives across Northern NSW,” Jones said.

“A bequest is a deeply personal decision and we are always truly humbled when we receive a gift of this type.

The impact that a bequest can make, no matter how small or large, is profound as it directly supports our aircraft and crews to assist and be there for others in their time of desperate need,” Jones concluded.

Online bookings are now open and close on 25 February.

To find out more or to make an appointment online visit rescuehelicopter.com.au/ willsweek or call 1800 155 155.

Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service’s annual ‘Wills Week’ OVER 70 solicitors across Northern NSW are donating 100% of their time and support to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service’s annual ‘Wills Week’ initiative taking place from 28 March to 1 April.

During Wills Week, the public can book an appointment to see a solicitor to receive advice about having a simple Will drafted or update an existing one.

Please note, the booking cost does not cover the drafting of Power of Attorney documents or complex Wills.

Booking fees of $125 for individuals (1/2 hour appointment) or $225 for couples (1 hour appointment), are donated in full to the Service, with people getting the benefit of a professionally drafted Will at a greatly reduced price, while also helping the Rescue Helicopter save lives in their local community.

In the Coffs Coast region, Coastal Law (Bellingen), Smart Choice Law (Coffs Harbour), Coastal Law (Coffs Harbour), Mbt Lawyers (Coffs Harbour), Bryant

McKinnon Lawyers (Coffs Harbour), NSG Law (Dorrigo), Robson & Oliver (Sawtell) and Coastal Law (Woolgoolga) are participating.

Wills & Estates (Melbourne) will be offering online services.

Having an up to date Will is important, with Wills Week helping people to prepare a Will while also having the option to consider the gift of a bequest.

For charities such as the Rescue Helicopter Service, receiving the support of a bequest is not taken lightly,

COFFS Harbour Air Force Cadets, George Wells and Flynn Oates started their New Year with a week on the Royal Australian Air Force Base at Wagga.

It was a challenging week for the cadets who undertook the Senior NonCommissioned Officer Course for promotion to the rank of Cadet Sergeant.

Attending the Course was a rare opportunity given the constraints over the past two years and the Cadet Corporals were keen

to take full advantage of the experience.

“It was a real privilege to have an Air Commodore as my instructor for leadership theory and as a senior Cadet at 331SQN I am looking forward to putting into practice all that I have learned on Course,” said Cadet Corporal Wells.

Cadet Corporal Oates, already a competent aviation instructor, will assist Aircraftman David Mitchell with delivery of the Squadron’s Aerospace

training.

up to organise a Gala Dinner on June 25 this year.

The Gala committee are endeavouring to trace all past presidents, state champions, committee and club members along with supporters to join in for a night of reminiscing, laughs and fun.

Head Teacher Ann Fletcher, highly respected and well known in the Physie community, thinks that many

readers of this paper would be familiar with the Edith Parsons School of Physical Culture and Kannella.

“Our club is looking forward to welcoming and reconnecting with any past members for our 2022 celebration.

BASED on the beautiful shores of Park Beach, the Coffs Harbour Surf Life Saving Club has been the heart and soul of the coastal community since 1923.

Run by volunteers, the Surf Club aims to educate the community and visitors on water safety, conduct patrols to protect beachgoers over the summer weekends, and

ensure that everyone who visits the beach has a great experience.

“With the beach and ocean being a part of everyday life in Coffs Harbour, when we are not patrolling the beaches we are participating in beach sports, creating future volunteers with our Nippers program and keeping our current members upskilled.

“We are proud to serve our community and we look forward to seeing you at the beach,” said Craig Peart, Coffs Harbour Surf Life Saving Club.

The Coffs Harbour Surf Life Saving Club are proud hosts to the Surf Club Restaurant & Bar with all money raised from the bar and function hire going to funding these great community programs for the Coffs Harbour Surf Life Saving Club.

The One that Sparkles Kannella Physical Culture Club is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

For over 50 years Kannella has been providing the girls and ladies of Coffs Harbour with a unique and complete exercise syllabus.

We have mentored, encouraged, instructed and supported hundreds of locals to achieve a physical strength and flexibility that otherwise would have eluded them. We operate under the umbrella of EP Physie so all routines are carefully choreographed to provide a syllabus that safely improves core strength, posture, increases coordination and builds confidence. This is a low impact sport and is all performed to music that excites!

Physie is an affordable sport with a touch of glamour and Kannella holds classes for 3 years through to adults and we love new members.

Classes are held at The Banksia Room, Coffs Harbour Showground, Tuesdays and Saturdays with the full timetable available on our website. You can even come and try a couple of classes before you pay any money....

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

By Manny WOOD

Midtransaction Tragedy

ROBERT sells his home for $1 million.

A deposit of $100,000 is paid on the exchange of contracts and settlement is scheduled to occur 42 days later.

Unfortunately, Robert unexpectedly passes-away three weeks after contracts are exchanged.

The contract contains the standard conditions, which do not allow the purchaser to ‘rescind’ or cancel the contract in the event of the vendor’s death.

The contract does however include the usual provision that if the vendor is unable to proceed to settlement, the purchaser can issue a 14 day notice, after such time they are entitled to terminate the contract and have the deposit returned.

Robert’s son Peter, makes an urgent appointment with Robert’s solicitor.

Peter discovers that he is appointed as his father’s executor.

However, he is also advised that in order to proceed to settlement of sale, he will need to obtain a grant of probate and that this can take several months.

Peter is worried about losing the sale and the prospect of a damages claim against the estate for breach of contract.

Peter is advised by the solicitor that he can make an urgent application to the Supreme Court for a special grant of administration which will allow the sale to proceed.

The solicitor proceeds to draft affidavits, outlining the execution of Robert’s will and explaining the urgency of the application.

The Court conducts an urgent hearing and after carefully considering the application, appoints Peter as the administrator of Robert’s estate, with limited temporary powers of administration which allow him to execute the documentation that is required to complete the sale and to pay the proceeds of sale into the solicitor’s trust account, on behalf of the estate.

The Court dispenses with the usual requirement of advertising the administrator’s intention to apply and other evidentiary requirements, on the basis that Peter will ultimately obtain a grant of probate which will supersede the limited grant.

DEAR News Of The Area, REFERGING to D Michaels letter regarding the bike path dangers (‘Bike Path Concerns’, p25, Coffs Coast NOTA, February 4 Edition), David it has been my experience that ringing or emailing customer services and telling them exactly where on which bike path and what the dangers are has seen them attending to it.

o you have a pressing problem, annoying anxiety or community conundrum? Jasminda Featherlight, our resident roving Agony Aunt, is here to help. Jasminda will be responding to questions from readers. SEND your concerns to Jasminda care of media@newsofthearea.com.au and include your name and suburb.

DEAR Jasminda,

A few months ago, I bought some chickens to expand our homegrown capacity, since we already grow vegetables and catch fish.

Unfortunately, although Trinity and Karl are adorable, they aren't being very productive, and I wonder if we should replace them.

Mrs Lucy Q Dear Lucy,

The Promenade DEAR News Of The Area,

WHAT a sad situation it is that the iconic riverside location is to be demolished and a five story block of apartments is to be built there.

One wonders what the aim of our current developments is to be.

Are we ultimately trying to emulate the Gold Coast on a lesser scale?

We do have a pressing need for

accommodation here in Coffs Harbour.

However the needs are for affordable housing and not at the expense of a prime riverside location which will ultimately command a premium price.

Wake up Coffs Harbour we will soon be overtaken by resort style accommodation.

Regards, Ann DEANS, North Boambee Valley.

High Rises and Refugees DEAR News Of The Area, YES, Margaret England (‘More refugee representation’, Coffs Coast NOTA, p22, 28 January Edition) that's what it comes down to, we could have had many, many accommodations for the homeless and refugees if it wasn't for the fact that our last marvellous Council and Mayor decided to spend many millions on this ridiculous Civic Centre, which you were so eager to support.

It's time to pay the piper, and if you are so concerned about the ‘inhuman’ treatment of the homeless, you should have thought about it a long time ago before putting your

stamp of approval on this wasted building which could have housed many people.

Perhaps you would like to dip into your bank account so you could start building them houses.

And Trevor Pigot (‘Supporting refugees, but not high rises’, Coffs Coast NOTA, p24, 4 February Edition), there is no point in blaming the Government, this is a local issue which could easily have been addressed by our Council.

Maybe you and Margaret could get together and start building, or an even better idea, turn the Civic Centre into a nice big housing centre for refugees and homeless people!

Regards, D WILSON, Coffs Coast.

Council relies on our feedback for change

I have even taken that area section leader on some bike rides pointing out the dangers needing fixing.

All of those hazards have now been fixed.

One in particular did require my reminding them of its presence multiple times.

Council relies on us to tell them of work that requires doing and that's how I see my emailing them.

Not as a complaint but as information.

Maybe that would work for you?

28 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

And from the same day’s paper Bev Rowling (‘Everyone deserves a place to live in safety’, p24, Coffs Coast NOTA, February 4 Edition) - I asked that some of the $81,000,000 going towards the Council building be put towards a permanent shade sail over Park Avenue to provide bus commuters with protection from the sun and its extreme UVF in the mornings on Beachside side from 9-11am and on the Woolworths side from 1-4pm.

The sail would also keep the seats from getting wet every time it rains.

media@newsofthearea.com.au

IT is great to hear from you and read that you are embracing a healthy home-grown lifestyle. Well done.

What is less appealing is your willingness to consider replacing your chooks simply because they haven't yet laid any eggs.

The fact you have named them Trinity and Karl means they are no longer livestock, they are family members, and family members have responsibilities, but they also have rights.

Are your chooks free ranging? (You sound like the sort of environmentally conscious person who would ensure the chooks have lots of space to roam).

If so, I think you should know that despite their cute, clucking noises, chooks are masters at subterfuge.

They could, in fact, be laying in a secret location and there may be a whole stockpile of eggs that you won't find until you detect a rancid, rotting smell.

Chooks also mature at different stages.

Your chooks may not be willing to lay and will probably do so when they are good and ready - thank you very much (did I mention that, apart from being tricksters, they can be quite stubborn?).

There is also a slim chance that your chooks have a genetic defect and/or are roosters and/or are anti-vaxxers that are not clucking, they are actually chanting 'my body, my choice', which is a terrible form of appropriation that does little to advance their cause, but there's no telling some chooks.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

I have been told it would be considered.

I hope for the sake of the homeless your suggestion will be considered also.

Some of that $81,000,000 should go towards some affordable housing.

If Mission Australia can do it surely Council can.

Regards, Judy QUICKENDEN.

OPINION & LETTERS

39 reminders of how our Federal Government behave DEAR News Of The Area, I NOTE that our busy Federal parliament has scheduled just five more sitting days before the next election.

Nice to see them working so hard and dodging sensible action on climate change, and on a Federal ICAC to counter the rising stench of corruption.

To remind us of how they spend our money to keep themselves in power, and keep their friends happy, here is a 39 step list I keep to hand!

• Car park rorts scandal: pork barrelling from the car park commuter fund: $660m • Sports rorts: pork barrelling from a community sports infrastructure fund • Pork barrelling from the Community Development Grants Program: 75% of $3bn to liberal/marginal seats • Pork barrelling from the Urban

Congestion Fund: 83% of $3bn to liberal/ marginal seats • Pork barrelling from the Female Facilities and Water Safety Stream: $150m mostly to two liberal seats • Grant redirection from the Safer Communities Fund • Great Barrier Reef Foundation grant of $443m • Helloworld flights for Gormann (who also spent $380,000 on travel to secure a job overseas) • LNP President takes a job with rival party leader Clive Palmer • Paladin scandal on Manus: $423m, the company has revenue now of $1.5bn • AAT appointment of former Coalition politicians • Appointment of former Coalition politicians to various boards and roles • The awarding of Covid-19 vaccine contracts

Warming Up DEAR News Of The Area, IT has been the coolest summer to date I can recall, but with the Federal Election in a few months, things are warming up.

There is always plenty of tit for tat via the contenders, but already the bar has been lowered, with outrageous personal attacks on our Prime Minister and some cabinet members.

Coverage has been so biased from the media left and opposition.

The vitriol is staggering and the bias from the ABC is little better.

Love or hate Morrison he is after all our elected leader and should command a greater degree of respect.

Hammered for not knowing the price of bread and milk, do you know?

Shunned by the hatred of 2021 Australian of the year and the list goes on.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I am starting to think maybe we have had it too good for too long and we need a wake up call.

Labor with the Greens having the balance of power.

God forbid.

Without coal, iron ore and agriculture, this country must go belly up.

Today the proof is in the pudding.

The work ethic and doing without to save for one's future, now dead in the water.

Some who did the above should feel proud, but witnessing so many Australians on the government teat today, may feel neglected.

I remained there for over two years but returned to the cows following the inclusion into the milk zone.

I will never forget that first Christmas paycheck.

Simplistic thinking on koala protection DEAR News Of The Area, THE Prime Minister announced funding to facilitate the long term protection and recovery of koalas.

It was reported (NOTA 4/2/22) that the funding is designed to bring together researchers, land managers, veterinarians and scientists.

Kevin Evans, President of the Coffs Coast Branch of National Parks Association of NSW and conservationist

Tim Cadman both believe that this is not the way to go and that all that is necessary is to stop logging and restore forests.

This is very simplistic thinking, when quite clearly the issue is far more complex than this.

My property contains prime koala habitat, it backs onto Crown land which is also prime koala habitat.

This in turn connects to the forests and national parks which adorn the hills surrounding Coffs Harbour.

Over the past 12 years I have seen five koalas and none in the past four years or so.

In that time there has been no reduction of the forest.

It is not lack of habitat that is causing the decline in koalas.

I have lovely habitat and no koalas.

Obviously the Prime Minister understands this better than the ‘conservationists’.

As long as they continue to believe

in the simplistic theory of ‘plant a tree and they will come’, they are not only fooling themselves but worse, they are failing the koalas they wish to preserve.

Less political activism and more serious science based conservation action would be a start.

Regards W DUESDBURY, Boambee.

‘When you were a boy’ Birthday Blues

By Barbara GILKES, Woolgoolga

WHEN you were a little boy, Lord, before the world began, did THE FATHER allow you to be a child before you became a man?

Did you unlock the jungles of Africa and set the Elephants free?

Did you sweep the ocean beaches clean sending Dolphins off on a spree?

Did you colour the beautiful Butterflies?

Did you teach the Birds how to sing?

Did you give them a wonderful melody to lighten our hearts, each spring?

It brings such joy in to the world when chicks hatch out, and fly;

Friday, 11 February 2022

and offer their colourful songs of praise sent up to YOU on high.

Do you straddle the clouds aove, LORD and look down on YOUR WORLD, below?

Do you weep at the way we're mistreating it?

It must be such a blow to see how greed, and wealth, and power have triumphed over LOVE, unlike the everlasting light streamed down from HEAVEN above.

Do you long for the days when you were a child, a time when you named each tree, and unlocked the jungles of Africa, and set the Elephants free?

DEAR News Of The Area, RECENTLY my daughter Janelle was celebrating her birthday with some friends at a local cafe.

They were seated outside and one of her friends had brought a cake along.

When the waitress arrived with the cake she requested that they didn’t sing happy birthday. Janelle obviously thought it may have to do with some Covid restrictions but when questioned the waitress said in fact it was a directive from management as the singing may offend other customers.

Just confirms that the world has gone mad.

Adjacent to the dining room is the centrally renovated kitchen with electrical appliances, laminate breakfast bar, and microwave/ appliance cupboard, overlooking the second

PROPERTYWeek

PROPERTYWeek living area that was added to the home in 1999.

The addition of the sunroom not only adds plenty of light to the home but also provides a wonderful space to sit and relax overlooking the rear yard with established trees and gardens. The sunroom is currently divided into three, adding an extra bedroom and a study to the home, which is perfect for large families needing the space.

You can leave the bedroom and study in place or remove the temporary walls to enjoy the sunroom in its full size.

To the right of the home, you will find the three extra-large bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes, timber look vinyl flooring, and ceiling fans.

The second and third bedrooms are council approved for a home Beauty Salon.

A ramp at the side of the house provides

entry through sliding doors to the second bedroom, which is a great option for those wanting to have a work-from-home office with external access. The third bedroom previously used for a beautician’s room has its own basin, as the plumbing is already in place, why not install an ensuite to add to the functionality of the home?

The fully fenced backyard is private with a timber deck sitting area, brick BBQ and as the yard is level it provides a great space for the kids and pets to play.

This home genuinely has a lovely feel and plenty of potential, call for an inspection.

9 Heskett Close, Toormina $829,000 3 bed, 2 bath, 2 car OCCASIONALLY you get to go to a property that just impresses you from the moment you walk in.

Although this immaculate family home, tucked away at the end of a quiet cul de sac is somewhat hidden from the street, it quickly welcomes you from the moment you walk in.

Don't be fooled by the large double garage frontage at the entrance to the property, the home is by no means an ugly duckling.

The formal entrance warmly greets you with tasteful grey floor tiles which continue throughout the hall and living areas of the home, with the exception of the carpeted formal lounge to the left of the entrance.

From the formal lounge you walk up three steps to the large air conditioned, open plan living, dining and kitchen area, a large space indeed, and perfect for gatherings of family and friends.

The kitchen is indeed the centrepiece of this room and is eye catching with its mosaic glass tiled splashbacks which continue throughout the kitchen and walk in pantry which, due to its size and versatility, almost doubles as a 'butlers' kitchen' This living area also has cleverly designed storage cupboards, one which opens up to become a small office space, perfect for

You declared that you wouldn’t be watching this latest series of melodramatic matrimony, but after one glimpse of the eye-catching cast your resolve miraculously dissolved like a wayward dose of botox.

This season, the brides and grooms are as ambitious, outspoken and as game for a fight – and affair – as ever. It’s sassy, superfluous TV at its lowbrow best. Tonight, resident sex therapist Alessandra Rampolla’s intimacy week begins with some couples blooming, while others struggle to connect with their partners. Whether you tune in for the slim chance of a love story, or the thrill of the petty squabbles and flirting, there’s almost something for everyone.

Sometimes, the truth really is much stranger than fiction.

When journalist, presenter and podcaster Marc Fennell learnt about the infamous theft of Picasso’s Weeping Woman in 1986 from the National Gallery of Victoria, he was gobsmacked and, in true journalist style, needed to find out more. This four-part true-crime doco launched on SBS On Demand late last year and it’s plain to see why it has become their most successful digital series ever: it’s a largerthan-life riddle which is amazingly still yet to be solved. In tonight’s first episode, the bizarre art theft, complete with ransom notes, is given the fine-tooth comb treatment by Fennell.

Featuring psychics, occult followers and mediums, it has spooky covered. After a woman’s body is found surrounded by ritual symbols on the eve of a psychic fair, DCI Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon, above right) and DS Winter (Nick Hendrix, above left) are plunged into the spiritual world.

Dorrigo Rainforest Run a Resounding Success THE inaugural Dorrigo Rainforest Run took place on Sunday 6 February.

42 runners enjoyed the cooler conditions as they took off from the rainforest centre along Dome Road to Never Never Picnic Area and back.

The 23.5km run was organised by the community group Coffs Trail Runners who hope to make it into an annual event.

Race director Keelan Birch said the support from the running community was outstanding.

"We had people travel as far as Newcastle, Walcha and Byron Bay take part.

“Running doesn't get much better than exploring the Gondwana World Heritage rainforests.”

One runner described the course as “magic”.

"The rainforest was so lush after all the rain and the waterfalls were incredible.

NRRA Country Championships moved to Grafton Racecourse

By Aiden BURGESS

RACING NSW have advised the Newhaven Park Country Championships meeting scheduled for Coffs Harbour, Saturday, 12 February 2022 has been transferred and will now be conducted at Grafton racecourse.

After receiving 105mm of rainfall in the last week, the Coffs Harbour track is currently rated a Heavy 10 and with further rainfall forecast for Friday and Saturday, an early decision was made to transfer this meeting.

Organisers say all tickets will be refunded back into the

bank account that the ticket was purchased through.

The Newhaven Park Country Championships consists of a series of seven races each held at a club representing a region in NSW. The first and second finishing horse in each regional race will qualify for the $500,000 Newhaven Park Country Championships final to be held at Sydney’s Royal Randwick on Day 1 of the Championships on Saturday, 2 April.

Grafton Racecourse will be hosting the big day of eight races on Saturday, including the main race for the two spots at Royal Randwick in

April.

Each race will be worth $150,000 in prize money and will be contested by eligible horses that are under the care of a trainer in the Northern Rivers region.

An eighth wildcard race will be held to give one more opportunity for horses to qualify for the final who have already contested an earlier heat on the day.

The Country Championships were first introduced in 2015 as an initiative of Racing NSW to help support and promote racing in NSW country areas and to also ensure that regional horses from across the state are part of The Championships in Sydney in the autumn.

times recorded in early December, proving the point that hard work really does pay off.

Following testing, both squads trained on clearance work, where the focus was on breaking clear of the contest through the use of fast handballs.

This approach mirrors what is expected of players at higher levels of the game, such as NAB League and VFL, with the coaching drills being shared from the Sydney Swans Academy and Southport Sharks.

Northern Heat Coaching Coordinator Matt Anderson was impressed with the young players’ efforts throughout the session.

"Getting fitter doesn't just mean that the players can run for longer, it also means that they can stay in the contest

and have an influence on matches for longer," he said.

"That ability to stay focused and play a modern brand of footy will really be evident when club activities hit full swing in the next month or two.

“That's when the players will really appreciate how far they've come and will be keener than ever to push on with their development."

Community Football and Competition Manager Paul Taylor also praised the efforts and work of the young players training over summer.

“Another outstanding Northern Heat training session on Saturday, with the players showing that they’ve done the hard physical work over the summer break by recording improved testing times,” he said.

THE North Coast’s best junior Australian Rules players have put in the hard yards training over summer, which has paid dividends after being put through their paces during their first training session of 2022.

The Northern Heat players' work over summer was reflected in their excellent testing results achieved in last weekend’s training session in Armidale.

The two squads were put through their paces with a 1km time trial to determine who had completed the program set for them over the summer, with the Northern Heat rep players achieving excellent results.

winning ten titles including the World Open in doubles.

Sarah Cardwell from Victoria is the women’s top seed with the ever improving Alex Haydon from the Gold Coast tipped to perform strongly.

Tournament Director Peter Saxby told News Of The Area preparations are ramping up at the Squash Club.

“Preparations for the North Coast Open PSA Challenger Squash tournament are really gearing up this week with players set to arrive in Coffs Harbour

“The higher tournament status as a PSA Challenger 10 provides players with an opportunity to compete for more world ranking points so each player will be looking to maximise their chances, which has to be great for spectators and visitors to come along to the centre and view all the action,” said Saxby.

Mihai explained how the chance came about to enter the US college system.

“At the start of the year I had a contact with Robert Linton’s combine, and from there we just talked to them over and over, and then sent away all my videos to different colleges in America and one hit back and eventually got back to us and I’m looking to go over,” he said.

Mihai’s North Coast Basketball coach Robert Linton highlighted the main reason why he caught the eye of college scouts.

“Australians are really known for their aggressive style of play and being up and in on defence, and that’s what really stood out to the coach, his highlight film had a lot of steals and a lot of defensive intensity and that’s what they’re really looking forward to seeing over there,” he said.

NCF Kick Off Preseason Preparation

By David WIGLEY

NORTH Coast Football (NCF) opened their preseason preparation with a trial match against National Premier League (NPL) rivals MidCoast on the new synthetic pitches at the Coffs Harbour Sport and Leisure Park last Saturday.

Although the rain poured down the football was unaffected and the supporters enjoyed the luxury of staying dry and undercover as they watched from the stands.

NCF Head of Coaching and Player Development Alex Nolan was delighted with the new venue.

“It was great to play our first pre-season games on the new synthetics.

“With plenty of rain falling throughout the week, having the synthetic pitches still allowed us to get some kilometres in the legs.

“Despite some great performances, winning wasn’t the goal for the games, with all NPL teams focused on improving our playing style for the season ahead.

“We want to have a clear playing style across our four NPL teams and there is no better way to improve than in a game against close NPL rivals Mid-Coast.

“Up next we host the

Newcastle Jets Academy and the boys and girls are pumped to be tested against the best talent in Northern NSW,” said Alex.

Three matches were played on the synthetic pitches in a goal fest against their Mid-Coast rivals with 21 goals scored.

NCF won the 16s match 5-2, the 15s lost 4-2 and the 14s shared the spoils with an entertaining 4-4 draw.

The 16s team were unlucky to miss out on finals last year due to Covid restrictions and centre back Loki Marchant is optimistic for this year.

Coffs Coast swimmers achieve top 10 results at national championships

By Aiden BURGESS

A TOP team of four Coffs Harbour swimmers have once again shown they are amongst the finest in Australia.

The four swimmers achieved top-ten placings at the recent Open Water National Championships at Brighton Beach in Adelaide.

Mitchell Hickey competed in the 18 years 10km event on Day 1, placing fifth in Australia for his age.

He narrowly missed fourth with just the smallest of margins separating the two swimmers.

He then backed up with an exceptional swim the following day in the 18 years 5km event, also placing fifth.

His swim saw him officially break one hour for the 5km event, an incredible achievement in itself and a big personal best, which given the surf conditions makes it even more amazing.

Lilly Geddes also competed over both days in the 16 years 7.5km and 5km events placing seventh and sixth respectively.

Her 7.5km event was held in the toughest conditions of the two-day event, winds were quite high creating swell.

Her swim was put together well and saw her as the highest ranked swimmer from NSW in her age.

Isaiha Phillips competed in the 18 years 10km event, placing sixth in the event.

Andrea Thomson competed in the 14 years 5km event, her first ever

and we’re excited to do our preseason properly this year.

“I really think we’re in for a huge season.

“The synthetics are awesome to play on and we can’t wait to train on them too.

“Huge thanks to Council and everyone that built them, it’s definitely going to help us throughout the season, by being able to use them in any weather,” said Lachie.

NCF’s next match is against the Newcastle Jets Youth Academy where the North Coast’s players will be eager to impress former Dutch international Kew Jaliens, who is the head of both the Newcastle Jets and Northern New South Wales Football academies.

Coach Sarah-Jane Weir shared with News Of The Area the immense pride she felt about her team’s efforts in Adelaide.

“As a coach I couldn’t be prouder of these amazing young people, their results were incredible and a testament to their hard work, commitment and dedication,” she said.

“Open Water Swimming is an amazing sport, and athletes are faced with challenges that aren’t posed to them in the pool.

“The huge amount of kilometres put into training, along with the additional training learning to cope with conditions, to sight and spot and also swim in large groups make this sport a unique one.

“As a coach I’m just thrilled to finally have athletes competing, and achieving results at such high levels in this event from the Coffs Coast.”

Sydney Swans partner with AFL North Coast to help pathways to big time football

By Aiden BURGESS

AFL North Coast’s top junior players will now have a better avenue and opportunity to make big-time footy such as the AFL or VFL competitions, thanks to a partnership between the QBE Sydney Swans Academy and AFL North Coast.

The partnership will see the North West, North Coast Force, and Northern Heat rep programs co-branded with the Swans Academy, allowing a greater number of development opportunities for talented and committed players.

This partnership will provide a clear process for high performing players in the region to be selected to attend Sydney metro sessions for potential selection in higher level Swans Academy programs.

Community Football and Competition Manager ‑

Northern NSW, Paul Taylor explained the significance of the partnership with the Sydney Swans Academy.

“This means opportunities for more local players to be included in the pathway and train in the region, whilst also having the chance to be identified to go further in terms of NAB League with the Swans, National Championships, and even to the Draft and AFL recruitment,” he said.

q

“This is especially important in the North West region where no opportunity has previously existed.

“Last week’s announcement of Sunday footy for juniors and the introduction of a Youth Girls competition means more kids of both genders can play club footy than ever before, and this announcement means they can go as far in the sport as their talent and commitment will take them.”

Taylor said that the partnership with the Swans would be a real boost for the local representative programs.

“Both North West and North Coast will field teams in the Under 13, Under 15, Under 17, and Youth Girls age groups, and all of these players will now be under the tutelage of Sydney Swans supported coaches who can recommend them for further opportunities,” he said.

“The North Coast has had a local Swans Academy program for many years where the participant numbers were limited.

“There are now significantly more opportunities for players to be identified and to proceed along the pathway.

“The North West has never had a structured opportunity like this before for players to go further in the game.

“With Junior club footy moving to Sundays, a Youth Girls competition starting, and now a pathway to the Sydney Swans, there’s never been a better chance to find the next Sam Naismith.”

Local representative coaches will have access to coaching programs and resources that have been developed by the Sydney Swans AFL personnel for use in the delivery of the representative programs.

Head of the QBE Sydney Swans Academy, Chris Smith, is thrilled by the prospect of unearthing talent in Northern NSW. “It’s an exciting development for the Swans Academy,” he said.

“This allows us a broader reach into regions that have talented juniors across numerous sports.

“Those juniors now have an opportunity to showcase their talent, as well as their commitment and focus towards being the best AFL player they can be.

“Top performing players will now have a clear pathway towards Northern Heat selection, Academy, and ultimately, the National Championships.”

Trials for the North West representative teams and North Coast Force will be staged in March.

Players selected in the programs will have the chance to compete at carnivals during the footy season.

Coffs Harbour junior Oztag teams to take on the nation’s finest

By Aiden BURGESS COFFS Harbour’s best junior Oztag teams are ready to take on the nation's finest while on their home turf this weekend.

The Coffs Harbour Thunder junior representative teams are set to take part in the 2021 Junior Australian Championships, which gets underway on Friday at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium.

The three day event will see Coffs Harbour teams take on other regional representative teams from across the country, featuring Australia’s best junior players between the ages of 8 to 17.

The Coffs Harbour

Thunder have entered four teams in this year’s Junior Australian Championships; the girls 12s, 13s, and 16s, and the boys 16s divisions.

Last year's national championships were postponed until February due to COVID-19.

Coffs Harbour Junior Oztag Competition Coordinator Mel Cowgill explained to News Of The Area the challenging nature of the Coffs Harbour teams’ preparations in the lead up to this year’s national titles.

“It’s been hard between COVID, school holidays and lots of rain and keeping teams together due to the

SPORTS RESULTS

competition being postponed already,” she said.

“For the past three weeks we have been training the 12s twice a week and the 16s getting together as much as possible as in this particular team we have had quite a few players drop out and had to bring in some younger players to help out,” she said.

“But we are pleased with their progress and hoping to have a strong team, “We are hoping to fly under the radar for the 16s as a lot of our girls in this team have always played up an age so this is exciting.”

Following this weekend’s junior national

championships, 2021 Senior

Championships are set to be held on 18-20 March at

the Ce.x Coffs International Stadium.

Year are over, resolutions made and discarded except the one to practice our golf more often and enjoy each game.

Thirty one ladies presented on 1 February for the first game in the fixture book with deserving winners Karen Bellamy, Leanne Clark, Lex Bailey and Alicia Bailey taking the honours with 79/65.

Well done ladies, it was certainly challenging out

there in the heat of the day.

Runners-up were Jan Weiley, Robyn Brindle and Kim Batty with 83/657/8.

wickets were accounted for by sharp fielding resulting in run outs.

Port Jackson came out firing and raced to 29 before losing a wicket.

Bruce Lumb had the opener well caught by Eric Higgins and then removed the other opener.

Alas this was to be the last of the dismissals and patient batting by Robson and Berenger saw the city side home with 13 overs to spare.

Eric Higgins was named man of the match for Coffs.

“Coffs is always on the lookout for players and welcome anyone in that over 60 age bracket (or near to that) to come along to the nets at Richardson Park, Sawtell on Wednesday at 1.00pm,” said Graham.

The rest day on Wednesday brought inclement weather to the Mid North Coast and early on Thursday the final day of competition was abandoned as

the grounds were soaked and the forecast poor.

Port Jackson and Lismore were to play the final and were declared joint winners of the Over 65’s championships.

Coffs was to play for the minor placings but will be working hard over the next twelve months to improve their standing.

Coffs Harbour Golden Oldies Cricket

By Graham DOUST THE Coffs Harbour Golden Oldies veteran’s cricket team took part in the Over 65’s NSW Championships being hosted

by Hastings Veteran’s Cricket this week.

Such has been the interest in veteran’s cricket that titles are now held in four divisions - Over 50’, Over 60’s, Over 65’s and Over 70’s.

“This enables participation at State level to the many players flocking back to the game they love,” said Graham Doust, Coffs Harbour Golden Oldies.

“Certainly the mind is willing and enthusiasm makes up for those deficiencies that the body may be experiencing!” he said.

On Monday the Coffs Harbour team faced New England on Phillip Hughes Oval at Macksville.

“After a slow start the

batting picked up the pace in the middle order.

“The hot and humid conditions made batting in helmets very uncomfortable with several batters having to retire early to escape the heat,” Graham said.

John Leahy scored a patient 25 before Bruce Lumb (34) and Terry Crossland (24) batted well together and a handy innings from Terry Herbert (17) pushed the score along to 158 off the 40 allowed overs.

Bruce Lumb struck early in the New England innings and finished with an impressive 4-28 off his 7 overs.

Terry Herbert (1-9) and Graham Doust (2-9) restricted the scoring for 14 overs where only 18 runs were scored.

The dismissal of David ‘the Warialda Warrior’ Jurd (LBW to Doust for 26) brought welcome relief as David had performed well the week prior

in Guyra.

New England scored 9 for 124 and Coffs celebrated a well deserved victory.

Bruce Lumb was man of the match with 34 runs, 4 wickets, 2 catches and a run out to his name.

Tuesday was a different story.

Facing a very well oiled Port Jackson side on the very picturesque Oxley Oval in Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour could only manage 110 runs being dismissed in the final over.

The highlight of the innings was a very well constructed 40 (retired) by Eric Higgins.

Unfortunately the batting lineup could not replicate the previous day’s form with the accurate Sydney attack and excellent fielding smothering any chance of a large score.

Cuthbert Berenger cleaned up the lower order taking 4-8 off 6 overs and three other Miles and Pete McRitchie.

Sunday morning Josh and Aaron took the green against the veteran John Bradley and another young player Craig Simpson.

The game was close all the way.

A couple of nice scores from both teams after each other found the score with little change and John and Craig stood their ground

with magical shots that were quite difficult to play, the young team of Josh and Aaron didn't panic and kept their game going to finally turn the game around to become the 2022 winners.

Both teams played amazing bowls and it is great to see some young talent coming through.

Well done and congratulations.

Congratulations to all finalists.

The event was considered to be a great success by all involved, with bowlers relishing the chance to play with someone new, with many playing together for the first time.

Attention now turns to the next two events on this year’s calendar, being the always competitive Minor Pairs, and the third new event for the year, being the Major Minor Fours.

On Saturday afternoon Park Beach Bowlers hosted the Maitland City Flyers with 12 games of triples between the two Clubs.

An excellent afternoon of very competitive bowls in a very social atmosphere.

Results finished up fairly even

with the Maitland City Flyers providing some Gold Medal Hunter Valley wines to the winning Park Beach teams.

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

BJJ On The Rise Friday, 11 February 2022

By David WIGLEY WOMEN and girls of all ages from the Mid North Coast attended a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) seminar last Saturday in Coffs Harbour under the guidance of black belt Cris Hisa.

Head instructor Cris Hisa said the purpose of the seminars are to expand skills and knowledge for females.

“We focused on crucial positioning details, such as side control, mount and back take.

“Once a month the group gathers to train, this is an opportunity for the all-female members to expand their skills and knowledge,” said Cris.

Brown belt and long term BJJ competitor Alana Lewthwait organises events to grow the BJJ community for women.

has not only improved member retention within BJJ clubs but has had significant positive impacts on individuals' progression.

“The Mid North Coast Women's BJJ Group, formed in 2020, is the result of trying to meet that need.

“Fortunately, we found ourselves welcomed with open arms by the majority of gym owners along the Mid North Coast.

“Without their support and willingness to give their time and space to support the group, we simply couldn't do what we do.

“I am constantly amazed at their willingness to put in the effort to provide emotionally healthy and safe training environments for their female students,” said Alana.

Despite two years of gym closures due to Covid, Cris Hisa said he was honoured to support the Group into the future to help see female participation in BJJ grow.
