Urunga Lions host truckies en route to flood disaster

By Andrea FERRARI

URUNGA Lions hosted the truck drivers of a Need For Feed convoy en route from Victoria to the flooddevastated Northern Rivers last Saturday, 5 March.

Emily Struik from Urunga Lions Club was contacted the previous week by Darren from the Lions Club of Victoria’s Need for Feed charity to ask if it would be possible to organise a night-time stopover for members of the club who were responding to an urgent request for assistance to provide fodder for farmers who have been devastated by the flooding in Lismore and the surrounding areas.

Initially it was thought there would be about seven vehicles but by the time

the convoy left Victoria there were thirteen vehicles.

“The drivers are all volunteers and the use of the vehicles, and the fodder are donated to the Need for Feed organisation,” Lion Emily Struik told News Of The Area.

“Fuel for the vehicles is purchased from monies donated so that this great service can continue wherever and whenever it is required.”

Looking for somewhere to put up the convoy drivers overnight, Urunga Lion Jo Brotherton contacted Ben Flynn from BP North Urunga who agreed to help the club with space to park the vehicles and to organise facilities for the drivers to shower and freshen up.

The convoy arrived in Urunga at about 6:30pm to a very warm welcome from members of the local Lions Club who had prepared a hearty meal for them.

During the evening Urunga Lions President Peter Brotherton presented Graham Cockerel, President of the Lions Club of Berwick, with a cheque for $1,000.00 to help cover the cost of fuel.

hospitality and generosity in agreeing to provide breakfast and coffee for the drivers before they were to head off on the final leg of their journey.

To quote Peter Lister (photographer) who joined the Urunga gathering, this is truly a case of “Aussies helping Aussies”.

“These men and women truly uphold the Lions motto ‘We serve’,” said Emily.

Lion Graham advised that another convoy will be coming through Coffs Harbour next weekend (a long weekend in Victoria) and again on the Anzac Day weekend.

If you would like to donate to these convoys, details are on both the Facebook and web pages.

Woman of the Year FROM Page 1

Tuesday, March 8, to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD).

The breakfast is organised annually by the Coffs Coast Business Women’s Network, the Zonta Club of Coffs Harbour and Business Professional women (BPW) Coffs Harbour.

This year’s global IWD theme was ‘Break the Bias’.

Guests were asked to contribute items to support Lismore flood victims and organisers were overwhelmed by their generosity.

The Coffs Coast Woman of the Year was awarded to Jade Naidu, with Jodie Wood as the runner up.

Ms Naidu is the owner of Woolgoolga Performing Arts Studio and promotes

awareness to anti-bias principles through the arts.

Her NAIDU Theatre Co. has offered three $500.00 scholarships to young performers from culturally diverse backgrounds who have stood out as incredibly talented and gifted performers in the arts.

Ms Naidu and her husband sold their home in order to purchase the property that houses her business as a trust for the community.

She talked on Tuesday morning about having to hold back and not be noticed as a child.

Ms Naidu said, “Breaking the biases in the arts means being able to stand in a room and use your own voice and not have to change to fit in or not be seen.”

She advocates for

performing arts to foster inclusion amongst the community and embrace uniqueness.

She said, “Today is a win for the arts.”

Mali Tipping received the Zonta Young Woman in Public Affairs award and Southern Cross University IWD Scholarships were awarded to Taylor Slattery and Jessica McEvoy.

The guest speaker was Lorraine Gordon, who won the ABC's 1994 NSW Rural Woman of the Year Award for developing the largest domestic hydro-electricity scheme in Australia.

Ms Gordon spoke about growing up in the city with a passion for the land, but she was not able to study agricultural science because she was female.

She inherited a rundown 3000-hectare farm in

Ebor which she has since developed into a model property that includes ecotourism.

The underlying themes of her talk were resilience, determination and passion and doing work that brings

hope.

Ms Gordon told the audience, “Nothing comes without effort.”

She was very passionate about the need for women as political leaders and urged the audience to step up and

have a political voice.

Ms Gordon said, “Women are nurturers by nature therefore they have the perfect disposition to solve global issues such as climate change.” q The generosity of guests was overwhelming

q More than 300 people attended the event.

Everyone Can Play grant enables upgraded playgrounds

By Susan KONTIC THE Bellingen Shire Council has successfully applied for funding to upgrade the existing Connell Park and Dangar Falls Play Spaces under the NSW Government’s Everyone Can Play grant program.

At the heart of the Everyone Can Play program is the conviction that play is for everyone – regardless of age, ability or cultural background.

It is based on the three principles of Can I Get There?

Can I Play? and Can I Stay? and its focus is to create more inclusive play spaces.

The upgrade of the Connell Park Play Space will take place in two stages

q This artist’s impression gives an indication of the upgraded play areas and the protective shade sails.

with stage one expected to commence mid-March with replacement of noncomplying playground equipment, adjustments to the existing soft fall, creation of natural play elements, and the initial stage of an inclusive footpath connection.

Additional works to connect the proposed footpath around the extended play space will be built as part of stage two and a new fence will be installed around the space.

Connell Park playground will close for 8-10 weeks to allow upgrade work to be done safely.

The upgrade to the Dangar Falls Reserve playground will see the existing playground moved

further into the reserve away from the new Dangar Falls Viewing Platform.

It will create more space for people to sit, take in the surrounds, enjoy a picnic under the existing shade sails or supervise children at the playground.

New play equipment will be installed featuring natural elements, such as stepping stones, balance beams, boulders and a new sandstone block retaining wall around the play space.

A new footpath around the playground will improve accessibility to the barbecue shelter and amenities, while an additional shade sail will extend the shaded area.

Construction at Dangar Falls should commence

the second week of March (weather permitting) with the playground closed for

about ten weeks.

For information on the Everyone Can Play program

seniors are invited to come along and enjoy a day of fun and entertainment.

Running from 25 March to 3 April 2022, the NSW Seniors Festival celebrates and recognises seniors for the role they play and the contributions they make to

our local community.

The official theme for the 2022 Festival is ‘It's time to reconnect’, which is particularly relevant as we seek to reconnect with one another and with the local community, now we are more able to move about

and pursue our skills and interests.

Bellingen Shire Council, in partnership with a range of community organisations including Hammond Care, CareXCell, Home Instead Senior Care, RFBI, Australian Unity and

Community Transport, is hosting the special day for local seniors that includes morning tea, guest speakers, activities and entertainment, together with lunch provided by Chans Chinese restaurant.

Bellingen Show plans begin

By Andrea FERRARI BELLINGEN Show is a-go for Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 May. Chatting with News Of The Area, Bellinger River Agricultural Society President Gillian Anderson tells us her thoughts on why the tradition of the Agricultural Show is still important today.

“The Bellingen Show has been operating since 1881 and is renowned for bringing people together from all walks of life.

“This is one of the really special things about our show, and all country shows for that matter, they are vehicles for bringing the community together.

“It doesn’t matter if you are aged two or 92, our people are the reason why everyone gets such a thrill for the Bellingen Show, it is an opportunity to feel part of the community and be part of a community event. q Traditions of the Bellingen Show run deep - photos taken in 1911 when the Show was celebrating 30 years.

“A few years ago, we ran a customer survey and one of the questions we asked was ‘What was the main reason you came to the Bellingen Show?’”

“The top response was to catch up with friends and family, chat with people you have not seen in a while and spend time with friends and family.

“It’s really very humbling that for all the Committee’s efforts to put on a spectacular event (which they deliver in spades) the overarching attendance driver for the show is the people and coming together as a community.

“We know people are craving to come together again, that was apparent at last year’s show.

“Sadly, many other agricultural shows in NSW have not run over the last few years because of Covid, floods and fire.

“We couldn’t hold the 2020 show due to Covid.

q

The Bellingen Show in action.

q Go on, give it a go - sign up to the Bellingen Show Fun Run. “When we were planning for the 2021 show we were very tentative about going ahead because we wanted to run a Covid safe Show.

“Thank goodness we did.

“We broke records in every area of the Show’s history.

“Thousands of people came through the showground gates and there were more competition entries than ever before.

“The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, you could feel that everyone

was glad to be back connecting with their community.

“We can’t wait for that feeling again, bring on 2022.”

CWA network responds to flood

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW’s Coffs Harbour Branch have thrown open the doors of their rooms to act as a donation point for emergency toiletry items for victims of the Northern Rivers flooding crisis.

Jodie Williams, President, Coffs Harbour Branch of the CWA told News Of The Area, “This weekend alone we have made up 80 emergency packs for men and women, including essential toiletries and a few added luxuries like hand cream, moisturiser and lip balm.

“We have seen such a huge and generous response from our local community members.

q

“We had a very welcome donation from midwife Amber Donnelly bringing much needed items for nursing mothers and mumsto-be.

“Toiletries were asked for, but so many other necessary items arrived like pillows, blankets, sheets, towels, underwear, and cushions, designed to comfort toddlers and young children.”

All these items were made into packs and on Sunday (6 March) these goods headed up to the Coraki evacuation centre to be distributed to where they are most needed.

This is just stage one.

“CWA will continue to support and collect items for the flood victims and our donated items will change to reflect what is required up

“Our CWA sisters on the ground are guiding us with what is required by the communities up there.

“As part of the wonderful CWA network, we have received donations of items from branches as far away as Hornsby in Sydney and Quirindi, southwest of Tamworth,” said Jodie.

The rooms will remain open for collection during the next week, Mondays and Tuesdays 10:00-15:00, and every other day 10:00-12:00.

“Please keep checking our Facebook page – Coffs Harbour Branch of CWA for updates on items required.

Boosting family services in Coffs

By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Harbour Neighbourhood Centre has been announced as one of the local organisations to benefit from NSW Government funding to provide support for social, health and disability sectors.

“The grant from the NSW Government is designed to help our service get back on track,” Di Woods, Manager at CHNC told News Of The Area.

“It enables us to recommence implementing a range of family support programs that were suspended.

“Programs recently restarted and underway are: making fun and healthy

lunchboxes, meals made easy, homework help, school holiday activities and support for families which are impacted by someone’s substance use.”

Programs are designed to strengthen community members and families, building their skills and social connections.

“Many local services were impacted significantly

by Covid and Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre was a key local support for many families and community members,” said Di. “Our doors remained open throughout to ensure that we could continue to provide a huge range of supports that people needed

during that time.

“We are grateful for our amazing team of volunteers.

“We could not have stayed open and offering our service without them.

“We could not provide the array or quality of services we do.

“Throughout Covid they were an absolute inspiration.

“The empathy and care they show every day to people of all walks of life that come through our service, always with a smile is heartwarming.”

While Covid impacted the Coffs community, the CHNC team of volunteers took on extra shifts so people could navigate services and help.

“On many occasions

situations, which can sometimes be overwhelming, there can be so much going on mentally that it can make it difficult to think clearly and collect their thoughts.”

The volunteers supported many people who just popped into the centre, when they simply didn’t know where to go or which service could help them, if at all.

The Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre team redirected many resources and supports to the immediate needs that the community needed at that time.

Local input sought on Coastal Vulnerability

By Paul FOGARTY

COFFS Harbour City Council is seeking further input on an updated framework of coastal planning controls.

According to Council the aim of the framework is to align it with NSW Government legislation and help clarify the information needed for development in certain coastal areas.

“Council has a responsibility to manage development in areas potentially affected by coastal erosion and recession hazards,” said Sally Whitelaw, Council’s Team Leader, Biodiversity Coastal and Flooding.

Council says the updated framework will provide more detail on what is required to be submitted with a

Development Application.

The Coastal Vulnerability Area mapping and draft policy and planning controls were sent to the NSW Government in September 2021 for permission to place it on public exhibition until April 4 for community feedback.

Following the exhibition a final draft policy and development controls will then be developed and

the mapping forwarded for insertion into the State Environmental Planning Policy.

Coastal Vulnerability Area mapping was a high priority action contained within Council’s Coastal Zone Management Plan which has been in place since 2013 to help manage the impacts of potential coastal hazards.

Aligning Council’s

framework with updated State legislation would “ensure that future development in coastal areas is more resilient to coastal hazards,” Ms Whitelaw said.

“In addition, people wishing to develop will have easy access to all necessary, relevant and detailed information.

“While the requirements for what properties it applies

to have not changed, it is believed the new framework helps make the process much clearer,” Ms Whitelaw said.

For more information or to make submissions visit https://haveyoursay. coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au/ coastal-vulnerability-area until April 4.

Landholders in the mapping area have also been sent letters inviting comment.

By David TUNE

COFFS Harbour & District Eisteddfod Society (CHDES) is ramping up to their fiftieth year of providing performance opportunities for local students in the performing arts.

The not-for-profit organisation is now planning to have a night of celebration and nostalgia at Coffs Harbour Jetty Memorial Theatre on Saturday July 9 to celebrate and acknowledge this momentous occasion.

They are planning to have performances from a few of the successful 2022 students as well as video messages from previous performers.

Patrons will be welcomed

by a string quartet and offered canapes and champagne to set the mood for a night of stunning performances and as an opportunity for CHDES to say ‘Thank you’ to many past committee members, volunteers, and supporters.

CHDES are now searching for contacts and memorabilia from the last 50 years, and they would love to add to the special occasion, and are seeking old photos, programmes, contacts of previous performers and memorabilia, to get in touch by email info@ coffseisteddfod.org.au.

Tickets will be available from the Jetty Memorial Theatre website at https:// www.jettytheatre.com/.

This year entries for the fiftieth anniversary Coffs Harbour Eisteddfod close on Thursday 31st March.

Sections include Dance, Speech and Drama, Piano, Instrumental, Vocal and Choirs.

Organisers are hoping for record entries after the chaos that Covid has inflicted on the performing arts.

CHDES President Debbie Waters told News Of The Area, “We are very excited to put this event on, and we look forward to catching up with participants from many of our fifty years, and hope people will come forward with memories for us to celebrate.”

"The Festival is a much needed lift for community spirits as we continue to face various challenges in our everyday lives," said Council's Cultural Services Team Leader Michelle Smith.

"It’s inspiring and a lot of fun."

It also has a natural alignment with Jan Allsopp’s solo exhibition ‘Complex Simplicity’, which is currently on show at the Gallery and explores the concept of everyday happiness through bright, happy colours and recognisable shapes and textures.

Michelle said, “Jan’s exhibition explores how something can be in-depth

q Artist Jan Allsopp, the “poster women” for happiness.

and multi-layered whilst being easily understood.

“The combination of colour, shape and texture provide glimpses of the extraordinary in the ordinary; showing how simple, and yet how complicated, the feeling of happiness is.

“Given all that is going on in Australia and the world at the moment, this Festival of Happiness provides a creative and communitycentric way for participants to consider the concept of everyday happiness as well as happiness more broadly.”

The Festival will include art workshops for children and adults, conversations with the artist (Jan Allsopp) and the curator (Chloe Waters), plus cultural and mindfulness-centred activities.

Free and happy events over the two days include: * Friends of the Regional Gallery members morning tea - Friday 10-11am (Friends of the Gallery only).

Leadership Scholarships Awarded To Coffs Coast Women NSW Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor has announced the 2022 Future Women NSW Rural Scholarship Program, designed to connect driven and passionate women from all ages and backgrounds, and help them in developing leadership skills as they progress to the next stage of their career.

Cath Fowler and Sheerien Salindera from the Coffs Coast are among the 24 recipients of the scholarships.

The one-year scholarship program began with the finalists attending the Future Women Leadership Summit in Sydney on March 7 and 8, as part of the 2022 NSW Women’s Week celebrations.

Mrs Taylor said, “The cohort, made up of small business owners, psychologists, farmers, business leaders, pilots and field workers will have a unique opportunity to connect and learn from each other in a setting that actively supports and encourages women to achieve their goals both personally and professionally.”

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh

said that it’s regional women like Cath and Sheerien who are the lifeblood of so many communities.

“They have already gone above and beyond with their deep involvement in our community, and this program will boost their leadership potential as they inspire the next generation of local leaders,” Mr Singh said.

The scholarship winners get access to the Future Women Platinum+ Program, valued at $5,500 each, and all 218 women who entered will also receive a complimentary one-year Gold membership, which gives them access to Future Proof, a year-long career development webinar series, and a 50 percent discount to attend the Future Women Leadership Summit on March 7 and 8.

Ms Fowler, from Coffs Harbour, is the owner of one of only a handful of female-led digital marketing agencies locally and Ms Salindera, from Emerald Beach, launched ‘The Hive Mindset’ agency offering branding, marketing and strategic consultancy services to businesses.

Ms Fowler said, from the Future Women Leadership Summit, “It’s a great opportunity

to be surrounded by great female leaders from all over country New South Wales.”

“We’ll be able to keep in touch and support each other during the coming year.

“One take away for me is it’s important to have a diversity of opinions to stimulate critical thinking and solve complex problems.”

Ms Salindera said, “To have two out 24

INDIVIDUALS impacted by the flood events unfolding in NSW can now access the first tranche of NSW Government support through Service NSW. Since February 22, seventeen Local Government Areas have been declared as disaster areas.

The first round of immediate support is now available to assist as some areas start their recovery.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said Service NSW was ready to support anyone needing flood assistance.

“The scale of these floods is unprecedented and right now, we are still in emergency and response mode.

“This is the immediate assistance available that has been unlocked by the NSW Government as part of the disaster declarations,” Mr Perrottet said.

“The phone lines are staffed, and the information is available – please call 13 77 88 if you need help to find the support you require and assistance you can access,” Mr Dominello said.

Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience Steph Cooke said the danger is far from over for many communities across NSW. “While we are still in the emergency phase, recovery is a process that must start as soon as it possibly can,” Ms Cooke said.

“The provision of this assistance will ensure we can get people and communities back on their feet as quickly as possible.”

Gumbaynggirr Giingana Freedom School Opens Its Doors

By Andrew VIVIAN

AFTER five years of planning and hard work, the Gumbaynggirr Giingana Freedom School has opened its doors at the TAFE campus in Hardacre St. Clark Webb, the Chairman of Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation (BMNAC), which operates the school, told News Of The Area that BMNAC had been running language and culture programs since 2010.

After five years, the

staff running the programs realised that everyday engagement would make a difference.

Formal planning for the school began in 2018, with a hope to open in 2021, but COVID-19 delayed it.

Mr Webb said the Gumbaynggirr Giingana Freedom School is the first of its kind in New South Wales, with students learning in both Gumbaynggirr and English.

Tahnee Philp is the school’s inaugural teacher

and has moved back to the Coffs Coast after teaching in Sydney.

She said, “I’m really excited - I’m looking forward to culture being integral to learning.”

Ellie Buchanan is the school's Gumbaynggirr language teacher and has worked with BMNAC for two years.

She said she learned bits and pieces of language growing up, and then studied with Mr Webb.

“I’m looking forward to

the day when the children use Gumbaynggirr in their play,” she said.

Ellie McKechnie has two children at the school.

She told News Of The Area, “It’s important that my children know about their culture and this is a different way of learning to many mainstream schools.”

Thirteen K-2 students make up the school’s first class, and BMNAC hopes to grow the school to grade 6 over the next few years, and up to 100 students.

With the opening delayed

by COVID-19 and wet weather, the students have been

learning ‘on country’ and in other spaces for the past three weeks, with a range of activities such as swimming, dancing and painting.

Ms Philp said she will be taking every opportunity to continue to use resources beyond the classroom.

Parents, Guymbaynggirr elders and other adults with relevant expertise will be regular partners in the education provided by the school.

Education consultant Helen Morschel, who has been assisting with the establishment of the school, said, “As well as providing the

Labor Announces Cowper Candidate

By Paul FOGARTY

EIGHTH generation Port Macquarie local Keith McMullen has been preselected by the Labor Party to contest the seat of Cowper in the upcoming Federal election.

McMullen, born and raised in Port Macquarie, left school for a printing apprenticeship with the Port Macquarie News before advances in technology made his profession redundant.

He then moved on to the building industry as a painter and decorator.

After a quarter century as a tradie McMullen studied for degrees in both teaching and the arts, taught English and history in Queensland and then moved to Hong Kong, where he worked in International Schools for a decade.

Five years ago he returned to his home town to care for his ageing mother and attend to other varied family matters.

“I have heard the deep concerns by many people from Coffs Harbour to Port Macquarie about the many issues that impact directly on them that the Liberal/ National government has just ignored, or acted against our interest, over the past number of years,” Mr McMullen said.

“I am proud and honoured to be chosen by the Labor Party to

12 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

contest the local seat of Cowper as part of Anthony Albanese’s team for the 2022 election,” he said.

Mr McMullen said the result of the upcoming federal election was crucial “given the very real issues facing the people of Cowper and our country more generally”.

“I have a deep love and lifelong commitment q Labor’s Cowper candidate Keith McMullen: “People have told me they have lost all confidence in the integrity of the Liberal/National government”

opportunity for students to become fluent in their own language, the Gumbaynggirr Giingana Freedom School will be using what we know about best educational practices to provide a setting in which any child will thrive.

“Particularly with regard to language learning, children won’t be learning a second language but moving seamlessly between Gumbaynggirr and English.”

Mr Webb said, “I want to see that our kids love coming to school, that they become fluent Gumbaynggirr speakers and that they excel academically.”

to the Mid North Coast and it has worried me deeply that our local area has been hurt by the ongoing neglect of those real problems by the coalition government for the past decade,” Mr McMullen said.

“People have told me that they have lost all confidence in the integrity of the Liberal/ National government…are sick of the Prime Minister’s lies and want action on the issues that affect them.”

Mr McMullen said voters were looking for action “on the issues that affect them (including) health, aged care, job security, low wages, housing, education, lack of support for small business (and) lack of meaningful action on climate change and women’s safety”.

“People want a National Integrity Commission,” Mr McMullen said.

Café supports community through floods

By Andrea FERRARI

NANA Glen’s Idle In Café turned into a safe haven, a hub and a helping hand for the local community during the recent floods.

“Between 24 February when the big rain started and 3 March the roads around us flooded, opened and flooded again,” Alison Johnson, owner of Idle In Café, Nana Glen, told News Of The Area.

“The usual suspects caused the trouble.

“Edward Sharpe Bridge regularly gets cut off during floods and isolates those that live on Nana Glen rail side of the village.

“It becomes an island over there when the flats further along Bucca Rd towards Moonee Beach get cut off.

“The bridge on Morrows Road was recently rebuilt, but sadly to the same height which means that the Equestrian Centre and residents in the Morrows

Rd section get flooded with heavy rain.

“Most of the residents who’ve lived in the Orara Valley for a long time are familiar with flooding and prepare where they can, taking it all in their stride.

“Sadly, following the bushfires in 2019 and the recent housing boom, we’ve seen some of the long-term residents move on.

“We have had a lot more new families move to the area which has revitalised the town, but they are often from the big city and may not be prepared for what occurs during floods in our valley.”

It can be daunting if you’ve never experienced a flood and are unprepared when the weather warnings begin to circulate.

“The Idle In Café becomes almost the last stop at the end of the road during flood times,” said Alison.

cut off, people were turning back and in need of a good coffee and some local info.

Nana Glen doesn’t have a pub and Alison, having been there for almost ten years, finds her little café is a natural place for people to gather and share information.

“I love being a part of this community and seeing how everyone shares information and looks out for their neighbours.

“The phone has been ringing with travellers or locals wanting to know which roads were open and if they can get through to Nana Glen or Glenreagh.

“We rarely get cut off from Coffs Harbour, however there was a brief period during this flood, where the road flooded at Karangi, cutting us off from Coffs.”

Alison has learned that every flood is different.

“We heard of a car caught in flood waters on the Edward Sharpe Bridge which was

JP’s call for help to help others

By David TUNE

COFFS Harbour Justice of the Peace Branch are calling for local people to sign up and help man the JP desks that they organise around the area.

JP’s are unpaid volunteers and offer their services free of charge for anyone who needs them, and their primary role is to witness a person making a statutory declaration or

affidavit, and to certify copies of original documents.

They are trusted to be honest and impartial when performing their functions and are bound not to refuse to provide JP services unreasonably, charge a fee or accept a gift for providing JP services, assist or write in a statutory declaration or affidavit or provide legal advice.

The branch has been

providing services for local people through JP desks at a number of locations throughout the area but are currently finding it challenging to have enough JPs to staff all of the desks.

Pandemic restrictions and storm damage to Toormina Gardens shopping centre have affected some services recently, but the group is hoping to get back to fully manned desks as soon as

possible.

JP Branch Promotions Officer Mike Blewitt told News Of The Area, “On the staffing front it has been difficult, with one of our team contracting Covid at Christmas from a visitor to the JP desk and all those who worked with him had to be tested.

“Thank heavens we were all fine although he has had over a month off, back on the

“Our café is normally closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but with so many people either isolated or sick of the never-ending rain, I decided to open for coffees on Monday and Tuesday morning.

“I’m part of the community and live at the café, so I was also feeling like some company and caffeine.

“On Sunday afternoon I gave away what food and milk we had to neighbours who hadn’t had a chance to get to the shops.

“Unfortunately, it left me without milk for the coffees on Monday morning when I decided to open.

“I messaged a handful of locals who are regular coffee

“One of our team left due to health reasons, so we really need a couple more JP’s to cover the holidays, sick days and the resignation.”

“Word got to Bec Turnbull, Captain of the Coramba RFS, who was out on a maintenance run with their truck, so she called into Coramba servo to grab some milk for us…and delivered it.

“The locals were very grateful indeed.”

The waters in and around Nana Glen have subsided but there is a lot of cleaning up to do.

“People stayed pretty close to home when the roads and rivers first cleared, but now they’re starting to get out and about to assess the damage, share tales and tips and start the clean-up process yet again.” from 9.00am to 12.00noon Toormina Gardens Shopping Centre Outside Coles on the first and third Saturday from 9.00am to 12.00noon Moonee Market Shopping Centre Outside Coles on Friday from 10.00am to 12.00noon To find out more about becoming a JP contact Chairman Terry Tweedie on 0428711725 or email the Secretary Vanessa Brandy at coffsharbour@nswja.org.au.

Grant gives Lifeline a boost

By Andrea FERRARI LIFELINE North Coast, based in Coffs Harbour, welcomed Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh to their offices last week, after successfully obtaining a NSW Government’s Social Sector Support Fund grant.

Mr Singh said the funding boost will ease financial pressure on the organisation and help them recover from impacts of the COVID-19 lockdown.

“The social services sector has worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic to support people doing it tough,” Mr Singh said.

“The funding will support not-for-profits who have seen a decline in their revenue and can be used to assist with brokering services and support for clients.”

Angela Martin, Communications and Community Engagement Manager, Lifeline North Coast (NSW), told News Of The Area, “It costs $39 to answer a crisis call - someone suffering emotional distress or thoughts of suicide, and

Friday, 11 March 2022

since Covid our phone calls have doubled, while our volunteer numbers are drastically down.

“All proceeds go back into keeping our Crisis Phone Line operating.

“Every dollar spent in our retail shops is what keeps us operational, every donation /volunteer helps save a life.

“When locals support us (Lifeline North Coast) - they are supporting their local community and ensuring every dollar raised stays here not directed to head office admin fees,” Angela said.

Lifeline has a range of ways people can donate and raise funds, one of which is hosting your own event.

“If you need assistance, we have a dedicated team to help you create a successful fundraising event and we offer support and services to assist you with your goals.”

You can also shop at Lifeline’s op-shops.

“Now with five Lifeline shop retail outlets across Grafton, Coffs Harbour, Toormina, and Nambucca Valley, they are a great way to shop sustainably.

“We pride ourselves

on curating a wide range of high-quality secondhand and new fashion and homewares and presenting fresh creative retail spaces.

“Every purchase from our stores helps to fund Lifeline’s crisis support line (13 11 14) and our Community Support programs.”

Volunteering with Lifeline can also be a very rewarding experience.

“At Lifeline North Coast, we are lucky to be supported by some incredible volunteers who make our services possible.

COFFS COASTNews Of The Area

“That said, there’s always room for new volunteers, so if you’d like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you.

“As well as helping us care for people in our community, you’ll meet new people and even learn new skills.

“Not to mention have fun along the way.

“Our policy is to match people to suitable roles rather than the other way around.

“Luckily our organisation is so diverse, there are jobs to suit almost everyone.

Volunteer roles include

“We are also after electricians who can help us test and tag our electrical goods for sale.”

Mullet chop for charity

By Andrea FERRARI

NIGEL Tweddle’s prize mullet is getting the chop on Saturday 2 April at 1pm in a fundraising barbering session in aid of Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Known through his arborist work around the Coffs Coast as the big guy in pink with a mullet, Tweddle’sTrees founder Nige has committed to the date having put it off for a couple of years.

“I’ve done a couple of charity cuts before after my first two kids were born, both times I shaved off my beard,” Nige told News Of The Area.

“I chickened out a few times over my mullet but then after my little lad was born, I thought I’d do the shave for him.”

The big draw for Nige’s friends is that one of them will win the gig of whipping the mullet off.

“I’m selling raffle tickets with the first prize of getting to shave my mullet off.

“My friends are buying up big to increase their chances of winning the job… they get to shave it however they like.

“And whatever they do I’m leaving it like that for a week.

“I did that with my beard shaving charity events and it’s a great way to raise

Landcare get hands dirty on Clean Up Australia Day

KORORA Landcare volunteers got out in a downpour on the morning of Sunday, March 6 for their fifth Clean Up Australia Day. “We had ten Korora Landcare volunteers today, a good turnout in the rain because we believe it’s a worthwhile activity,” Simon Proust, Korora Basin Landcare Coordinator, told News Of The Area.

The team worked across Korora Basin and Beach and Sapphire Beach on both sides of the highway at Korora.

“The rubbish we pick up has usually been there a long time.

“What we are finding is that the waste is further afield these days.

“Today we picked up a lot

of tyres.

“We found five down on the beach and then three others were dumped at West Korora.

“All the chairs were dumped here near Korora Reserve.

“People dump stuff they don’t want in various locations around the place hoping that someone will use it, but it sits around degenerating, so we pick those up.

“We found some sheets of old steel, a lot of old chairs that someone had thrown out and interestingly we picked up just a small amount of recycling, just a couple of bags of cans and bottles.

“A few years ago this was our most common item but these days its household and building waste.

“We found a syringe too.

“It’s the first time,” said Simon.

“Recycling is not as big as it used to be because people are using ‘cash a can’ programs, getting 10c for a can or bottle.”

Clean Up Australia specifically asked Landcare to record the number of masks collected which have been a problem in the more densely populated areas.

“We picked up just eight masks today.”

Over the five years Simon has seen changes in the things people dump.

“The first year we got a lot of plastic bags, the next year we got a lot of cans and bottles.

“In the last couple of years, we’ve had to increase our catchment area picking

up tyres dumped and household and building items that people find a hassle to get rid of and don’t want to pay the council tip fees.

“Fast food, McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken wrappers have dropped off.

“There’s a few in there this time, but not much.”

With the rubbish sorted and bagged-up in the Clean Up Australia sacks and the

HARMONY Week is celebrated at the end of March and for Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre the big day during the week is Wednesday 23 March.

“As part of our Harmony Week celebrations, we will provide information on volunteering and ways to be involved,” Di Woods, Manager at CHNC told News Of The Area.

“We will support people of all backgrounds to be connected with local opportunities to volunteer and connect in their community and provide some food to share afterwards.”

Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre will partner with Settlement Services International and other local organisations and services to showcase an array of local opportunities for

people of all backgrounds to volunteer.

“Australia is one of the countries with the highest percentage of volunteers.

“Volunteering is part of our culture and reflects Australian values.

“Our shared Australian values of respect, equality and freedom go beyond our different cultures, and are what makes Coffs Harbour such a great place to live.

“Volunteering is a wonderful way for people of all backgrounds to connect, be involved and be an active part of our local community.”

Coffs Harbour has an array of community-based volunteer projects that celebrate cultural diversity.

“They provide solid examples that our community works together to ensure that everyone belongs and are made to truly feel a sense of connection to our

“We estimate we have collected over 300kg of refuse today.

“Council will pick it up tomorrow morning, Monday, at 9am, as they have done every year we’ve been doing the Clean Up and I will send a report to Clean Up Australia.

“We are one of over

13,000 sites participating in Clean Up Australia today.

“Landcare gets involved because we look after the environment and rubbish is a part of the environment today.

Harmony Week is a week to celebrate Australian multiculturalism, based on the successful integration of migrants into our community.

It is an opportunity for all Australians to embrace cultural diversity and to share what we have in common.

“This year it will focus on recognising that ‘Everyone belongs’, which has always been a key value and mission of Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre,” said Di. Harmony Week is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values.

“It is about celebrating the benefits of our multicultural community that has come about as the result of the successful integration of

migrants into our local community.

Insurance nightmare for Boambee East resident after October hail storms

q Roger Rudland-Wood’s hail storm damaged solar hot water tank.

By Andrea FERRARI

HAIL damage insurance claims resulting from the 20 October 2021 hail storm, are causing affected Coffs Coast residents sleepless nights and frustration as they battle with cursory assessments and being ignored.

Boambee East resident Roger Rudland-Wood is insured with NRMA. In fact, he has six policies across building, contents, cars and a Roadside Assist membership with NRMA. Roger says his experience with NRMA working through his hail storm damage claim has been less than efficient yet more than common; with friends and fellow residents of the hard-hit Coffs Harbour region having issues with the same insurance provider.

Once his original claim went in, Roger was told an assessor from NRMA’s preferred builder, Rizon Building, headquartered in Milton, Queensland, would come to the property, inspect the damage and make a report.

“It was a cursory inspection – all of fifteen minutes, and he didn’t even come inside the house when

q Roger has battled with NRMA to settle the insurance claim for his Boambee East home.

I invited him in to make a full inspection,” Roger told News Of The Area.

“Naturally, he missed details of the damage and made an inaccurate and lacking report estimating the value of repairs to be around $8,000.”

Roger made numerous phone calls to NRMA to discuss the matter and was always told he would receive a call back, which he never did.

He phoned Rizon Builders to address the mistakes in the report and never once did anyone from the builder speak with him or call him back.

“I got on to Consumer Affairs, but they informed me it’s not their area, but they did put me on to the Underwriters at NRMA. “The Underwriters were really helpful, and within one hour I got a call from an NRMA case manager – Tori, who was really helpful throughout the whole process.”

In the meantime NRMA sent out a second assessor, Northern Rivers Building.

“They were very thorough and took around two hours inspecting my property and talking with me.”

The Northern Rivers Building’s comprehensive report went to NRMA which

revealed numerous omissions made by Rizon Building, Eventually, through further emailing and conversations, Roger’s claim was settled at $16,930, twice the amount originally quoted from the Rizon Building report.

Roger has requested monetary settlement and he is appointing his own preferred builder to do the damage repairs.

Roger hopes sharing his experience will bring awareness to the sluggish initial response by NRMA Insurance and their preferred builder, Rizon Building’s cursory assessment.

“It was only when I went to the NRMA underwriters did my claim begin to make any progress.

“I have spoken with my neighbours, we do sit and chat, and every single one of them who is insured with NRMA complained about their October hail storm damage claim experience.

“Each can recount a tale of having to chase up and phone back and chase up, with many claims still unresolved even now, more than four months since making their claim.

“My issue is mainly with Rizon but that does not excuse NRMA. News Of The Area asked

the NRMA for a comment, and an NRMA Insurance spokesperson responded, “We always aim to help our customers as quickly as possible and provide them with the best possible experience.

“Following the severe storm we moved additional resources, such as assessors and builders, into the area to support our customers.

“We’ve apologised for the delay in finalising our customer’s claim.”

NOTA phoned and emailed Rizon Building and did not receive a response.

Located in the City Centre, Park Avenue and Moonee Street are currently not functioning for the people.

With a dominance of cars and lack of space and poor design for people, this is causing an effect on how the street functions which can been seen by the absence of kerb side activity, and an overall lack of visual appeal.

This project presents a unique opportunity to re-imagine the streetscapes in a holistic and coordinated manner. It explores the inclusion of attractive new community spaces and integrates cycling and pedestrian as safe and convenient and recognises these actions as essential components of a functioning streetscape.

These key changes will provide a catalyst for much-needed urban renewal of the Coffs Harbour City Centre and align with the future Coffs Harbour Place and Movement Strategy (estimated to be open for public consultation end of April 2022) that encapsulates the NSW Movement and Place Framework and how it will apply and work within our region.

Good Craic at the Coffs Hotel on St Paddy’s Day

By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs Hotel is celebrating St Patrick’s Day in style with an action packed line up of music and celebration from 10am on Thursday 17 March.

Coffs Hotel patron Marty Phillips shared with News Of The Area what he believes are the ingredients to a great St Patrick’s Day. “Irish music with Guinness and Kilkenny on tap all day is a good start.

“Lenny the Leprechaun

is hilarious and he will be strutting his stuff from lunchtime singing songs, telling jokes and having good craic with the patrons.

“For lunch we have Irish fare and of course Guinness stew and around dusk we have bagpipes from the Coffs Coast Pipe and Drums group.

“It’s the luck of the Irish, a lot of people love the Irish and some want to be Irish, so it’s the day to get out and have good craic and celebrate.

q Unison - Marty Bouma, Julia Wilson, John Burnip and Ian Cameron will be performing at the Coffs Hotel on St Patrick’s Day.

q Wally Walton, Martyn Phillips, Samuel Phillips, Donna Phillips, Max Phillips, Peta Phillips Hornberg, Kyle Hornberg and Norman the Irish Wolfhound.

“It’s been a tough couple of years with Covid and now flooding, so it’s time to let your hair down, have fun and celebrate.

“St Patrick’s Day is extra special for us as it coincides with the pub’s anniversary on 4 March, our family have been at the pub for 26 years.

“We are one of the very few family owned pub’s left so we’ll be making it that extra special to mark the occasion.

“Local band Unison will be playing in the front bar from 6pm so it’s going to be a great night,” said Marty.

Often described as organic

rock, Unison’s style is infectious and their tight grooves interwoven with catchy melodies always entertain.

Unison guitarist Marty Bouma paid tribute to the contribution made by Marty and Donna Phillips over many years.

“We are really looking forward to playing at the Coffs Hotel on St Paddy's Day. “We have all had a long association with the pub from a musical point of view and we love what Marty and Donna have contributed to the local culture and music scene over the years,” said Bouma.

Dancers add colour to Beach Hop event ON Saturday, March 26 the popular retro music and classic car event The Summer Beach Hop returns to the Jetty Foreshores after an absence of more than two years.

Organisers John Logan Entertainment have plans well in place, but this week have added an extra attraction to an already impressive bill.

As well as The Australian Beach Boys, Gold Coast band The Crawdaddys featuring Bobby Cochrane, and the Julie

Ross Dance Studio dancers doing a ‘Grease’ inspired flash-mob, the brand new Woolgoolga Performing Arts Lindy Hoppers have come on board.

“When Kristy Pursch agreed to be part of it, we were really excited and they will present a display of the Lindy Hop style as well as mixing with patrons during the night,” John Logan said.

“We’re expecting twelve to sixteen dancers all in 60s inspired gear so it will add a lot of colour and fun to the

Tickets to the event went on sale earlier this month and organisers are reporting keen interest from classic car owners keen to display their cars whose owners are coming from Grafton, Yamba and as far away as Taree, from where the Manning Valley ‘Cruzers’ will provide a strong contingent.

The Summer Beach Hop is on Saturday March 26 at the Jetty Foreshores and tickets are on sale at www. summerbeachhop.com.au.

Tea and Sympathy ‘TEA and Sympathy’, one of the new themed exhibitions from The Urunga Art Space, will run from 12 March to 6 April. “‘Tea and Sympathy’ is a playful (and serious) homage to, not only the last two, difficult years, but the longstanding tradition of comfort by the cupful,” said Chris Wilson, The Urunga Art Space.

“Just to use the phrase can summon memories both warm and poignant.”

q Some of the works from the Tea and Sympathy Exhibition.

Contributors to the exhibition have been given free rein to interpret the theme as they see it, making the resulting show possibly one of the gallery’s most unpredictable outcomes!

A stellar group of creative local artists will contribute to this show, along with perhaps one or two small surprises!

Tea and Sympathy opening night is 12 March, from 5-7pm.

The exhibition will run until 6 April.

Estranged child makes claim

MARY makes a will leaving the whole of her estate to her son David.

She makes no provision for her son Peter and her will includes a notation stating that “Peter has chosen not to communicate with me for many years”.

When Mary passes-away at the age of 80, she leaves an estate valued at $2 million.

Peter makes a claim against Mary’s estate.

At trial, the Court hears that Mary was left out of her parents’ wills and made a successful claim, so she was aware of what was involved in challenging a will.

Evidence regarding Mary’s intentions, in the form of lengthy handwritten statements by her, are put before the Court.

These statements demonstrate an estrangement between Mary and Peter of around 30 years. The statements refer to feelings of abandonment and hurt.

Mary describes feeling heartbroken and of an unfulfilled desire to have a relationship with her grandchildren.

She expresses disappointment due to the lack of support she received during her husband’s illness and ultimately his passing.

Peter’s affidavit details a relationship with his mother in which he says she was hostile and erratic and details a critical incident whereby he said Mary was unreasonably enraged with him for leaving the matrimonial home as a young adult.

Peter however concedes that he made limited attempts to reconcile.

The Court hears evidence that David had a close and devoted relationship with his mother.

Peter also claims that he is entitled to provision from Mary’s estate because he is approaching retirement and still resides in rental accommodation.

He also says that his wife has serious health problems which will need to be addressed in the future.

Peter does however hold a substantial superannuation fund.

David on the other hand, is also able to demonstrate substantial needs.

Ultimately, despite an estrangement of around 30 years, the court accepts that much of the blame was attributed to Mary, and awards Peter a lump sum of $400,000 plus payment of his legal costs.

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,

I'VE met a wonderful lady, but I seem to have an allergy to something in her home.

Each time I go there I develop red eyes, wheezing and sneezing.

I now have to take an antihistamine before I visit, which is not a long-term solution.

There are so many options of what it could be - plants, her beloved dog, her casual approach to cleaning and the candles and incense she burns.

How do I delicately approach this, and perhaps start to remove some of these items one by one to work out the issue via a process of elimination?

Who is the National Party protecting?

DEAR News Of The Area,

WHEN the Toormina shopping centre was severely damaged by a devastating hail storm last October (it's still not fully operational) our local Federal MP Pat Conaghan suggested this was not the result of climate change, it was nothing unusual.

He reiterated that his objective is to protect the community.

Is Mr Conaghan, his party and its leader still in denial about climate change after the record flood inundation from north of Gympie in Queensland through Brisbane and Southern Queensland, Northern NSW to Sydney and further south with over a dozen people dead and thousands of people's homes, jobs and living shattered?

If the National Party is so serious about protecting regional and rural communities why is the approximately $5 billion including

accrued interest still sitting in the Federal Government's Emergency Response Fund since 2019 virtually untouched when it could be doing exactly what Mr Conaghan claims is his and his party's priority, 'protecting regional communities'.

In the meantime billions of dollars are handed out by his government in subsidies to foreign owned mining companies.

So, is the National party using our votes and our money not to protect rural and regional communities but rather the international mining community?

Isn't it time we voted for someone not beholden to a far off party's dogma but for someone who is committed to our local community?

Regards Tony CLEGG, Boambee.

The choice is ours to make dollars’ worth of damage from a freak, supercell hail storm.

A week before that, Armidale was ripped by a tornado.

Is there a person in our region who hasn’t been directly or indirectly impacted by these events?

Sadly, I doubt it.

Storms, floods, heat waves, bushfires; these events are getting more frequent and more severe.

Effects are snowballing on top of each other and we have little time to recover and reset before the next catastrophic incident devastates our communities.

We’ve lost more than a decade to fruitless debates that put our ‘faith and devotion’ to the economy, over the clarity and possibilities offered by science and policy.

Some solutions are still within reach,

24 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

but we have urgent choices to make.

We can choose whether we proceed on a high emissions path, or we can switch more immediately to a reliance on low emissions energy sources, dominated by renewables.

The markets understood this years ago.

Our local Federal member, Pat Conaghan, has consistently voted against the government taking urgent action on climate change.

He ignores the compelling evidence and he misreads the concern of his electorate on this crucial matter.

There will be real opportunities for change at the next Federal election; candidates who will insist on decisive action on climate change on our behalf.

The choice will be ours to make, and we must hope it’s not too late.

Regards, Suzie Holbrook, SAWTELL

media@newsofthearea.com.au

Geoff B. Dear Geoff, WELL, this is a bit of a disaster.

You've finally met someone you really like, but there seems to be a few more incompatibilities that we should address.

This woman sounds to me as though she has a rather easy-going approach to life, and your process of elimination comment is a bit troubling.

If you were simply eliminating a grevillea, or perhaps avoiding her home during the height of springtime pollen production, that would be understandable.

But when you start mentioning her beloved dog in the same sentence as having a dig at her housekeeping skills, I fear that once the giddy joy of those early romantic days subsides, your world will start to crumble.

All you will be left with is a woman wearing yoga pants, chanting affirmations through clouds of sandalwood smoke, while her Burmese Mountain Dog, Clarise, licks the breadcrumbs from her plate, while you, Geoff, are in the corner in a Hazmat suit, surrounded by HEPA filters, rolling a lint brush down your pinstripe suit to remove dust mites and dog hairs.

Geoff, if my intuition doesn't fail me - and it rarely does - I feel that the only process of elimination that will be taking place in the very near future is the elimination of you.

Chin up, though.

There are plenty of clean freaks in this world.

Maybe you just need to throw a few more keywords into your dating profile your love of gleaming benchtops, hospital corners and cleaning between tiles with a toothbrush should filter out some of the less suitable candidates.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

OPINION & LETTERS

Teal Independents DEAR News Of The Area, I READ with interest Trevor Harrington’s verse ‘For a Community Voice’ (p22, Coffs Coast NOTA 4 March Edition) and a number of lines caught my attention.

They were: “How can we close our eyes and let things go?

“Does it no longer matter if things we’re told are just a lie?”

“The swarms will be round about and they will be dressed in teal.”

“And that means having an independent voted in.”

The answer to Mr Harrington’s questions is no.

I detest deception and I continually stand up against what I consider BS and I consider this to be another such occasion.

There are a number of these “teal independents” standing in the coming election.

They all claim to be dissatisfied with both sides of politics but they are only standing in coalition seats.

Does that not say something?

They all wear the colour teal, which is the signature colour of the organisation that is backing them, Climate 200.

This is a green organisation whose agenda is to unseat coalition members by bleeding votes away from them and to push green ideology.

Climate 200 claims not to be a political party, which technically may be the case, but to my mind if it looks like a political party, acts like a political party, it probably is a de facto political party, even if it is able to circumvent the electoral laws.

I believe it very appropriate that Mr Harrington describes the “teal independent” supporters as “swarms ....... dressed in teal”, as “swarms” is a word I associate with flies around something that is on the nose.

I cannot consider these “teal independents” to be true independents

due to their strong connection with Climate 200.

A true independent would have no allegiance with anybody and certainly would not use a particular organisation's colours and have a matching look with other independents.

How are these “teal independents” independent from each other?

Is this an attempt to deceive the electorate?

If you vote for these people you might as well vote for the Greens for at least you know what you are getting.

Regards, W DUESBURY, Boambee.

Fixing up the southern end of Jetty Foreshores DEAR News Of The Area,

I MUST agree with local Member Gurmesh Singh’s observation (‘Tensions over Jetty Foreshore’, Andrew Vivian,

p10, Coffs Coast NOTA, 4 March Edition) that the southern end of the foreshore area is poorly utilised maybe he could use his influence with Council to encourage them to repair the two southernmost

community BBQs which have been out of commission for over six months and remove the three shipping containers which currently occupy the adjacent parking area.

Farewell to a special lady DEAR News Of The Area,

I WAS privileged along with other folk to attend the memorial service for the late Miriam Rullis on Friday 4 March at the C.ex Club.

At the entrance we were presented with a gift which contained sunflower seeds, a bookmark, a cross for her faith and strength, a candle for her warmth, and tissues which read "Sometimes memories sneak out of our eyes and roll down our

cheeks".

This was all organised by Miriam, only 54 years old, while suffering with a brain tumour.

Miriam and Victor over the years have fostered up to 50 children from broken

homes while also running their funeral home.

It takes special caring people to do this.

Miriam's passing leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Regards, Phyllis TAYLOR, Coffs Harbour.

Woolgoolga Changing Room Conundrum DEAR News Of The Area,

NOT long back Woolgoolga beach front had a perfectly good public toilet block which included perfectly good change rooms and showers.

Council decided on an ‘upgrade’ was

needed and built a rather ugly block of unisex toilets in the middle of a playground.

It didn't include change rooms.

It would be reasonable to think that change rooms are necessary at a popular beach but greater minds must have overruled this.

Those same minds demolished the existing perfectly good change rooms and planted turf.

Council are now steadfastly progressing with the $80 million ‘cultural’ centre that 15,000 people petitioned not to happen.

What are the odds that this project will turn out well when our Council can't build a functional beach facility with change rooms and showers?

Regards, Ron STRAUCH, Arrawarra.

Can we see real change in ‘grant’ season?

DEAR News Of The Area,

‘GRANT’ season has commenced and of course conveniently coincides with 'election' season. This fortnight, funds appear for planting trees on newly cleared land for a 25-year future harvest.

There is (NSW) flood money for Council to better understand flood risk and management. Renewable Energy grants were received by eight community groups to exchange old lights for LEDs. Is this the depth of major, visionary support we need to plan our region's sustainable future?

But wait there might be hope yet...

In 2019, $4 billion federal tax dollars

were allocated into an Emergency Response (Natural Disaster) Fund to help deal with the effects of natural disasters.

That fund has been sitting, idly growing under the LNP for four years and today totals $5 billion dollars.

The Disaster Fund was created with $4 billion dollars from the Education Fund, an even older election period allocation, which was also not spent as promised.

Is it possible that with an Independent candidate again standing for election in Cowper that some of the disaster fund might actually see the light of day during the current grant/election season?

Cowper is a proven flood and bushfire prone electorate with severe natural

disasters having occurred here since the last election.

Negligible federal funding has assisted in research, infrastructure, or recovery programs over the past four years.

Will our region finally receive significant federal grant funding for flood and bushfire prevention, management and rebuilding following these events?

Climate change events are predicted to increase in frequency.

Shouldn't we be acting right now to develop targeted mitigation and management planning for our increased safety and recovery programs from flood and bushfire in Cowper?

Will we soon see a press release (with

MP photo) about a post-election future allocation to Cowper following the fouryear stagnation of the 2019 promised funds?

Perhaps Cowper voters should consider electing a committed and truly representative Independent who can act in Parliament to force the LNP to release $5 billion dollars for improving disaster planning and recovery to Cowper and other hard-hit regions of Australia.

Yours in hope for a power change in Parliament, Sue SEATON, Coffs Coast.

THIS one owner Toscan built home is virtually in the same condition it was built having been lovingly maintained by the original owners since new.

Cleverly designed, taking advantage of a rear sloping block by placing a workshop underneath, this home offers so much.

Entry to the home is via the formal lounge room which flows seamlessly to the dining/informal area and large modern kitchen.

This whole area is serviced by a near

new reverse cycle air conditioner.

The jewel of the home though is no doubt the rear fully screened entertaining deck.

Beautiful with its hardwood timber flooring and magnificent views out to the Coffs Coast Hinterlands.

Indeed, the perfect place to put your feet up of an afternoon, or maybe just use all year round as an additional living area.

The three bedrooms are at the other end of the home and are all carpeted with ceiling fans and built-in robes.

Servicing this area is the bathroom with shower, separate bath vanity and toilet, whilst there is an additional toilet as well, perfect for families as well as entertaining.

Of course, there are all of the additional

inclusions you expect such as remote opener on the garage door and broadband to the home, but there is also an amazing workshop beneath the rear of the home, complete with concrete slab floor, power and even roller door access.

You may not have access to park a vehicle beneath, but it allows magnificent access and ventilation for your projects, or maybe just as that much wanted ‘man cave’.

There is even a well-maintained rear yard with easy care gardens and lush lawn.

Award winning eco lodge and accommodation centre

NESTLED amidst a tranquil and pristine native bushland setting, adjacent to a World Heritage listed national park ‘Yaraandoo’ is an award winning eco lodge and accommodation centre on the eastern edge of the Great Dividing Range and New England tablelands.

As featured on the ABC ‘Back Roads’ program, 'Yaraandoo', currently hosts fly fishing workshops, wellness retreats and tourist accommodation, with further scope and opportunity for the new owners to expand or diversify experiences available.

These could include being ideal for a B&B to further build on the inherent

wilderness, conservation, nature and ecological tourism potential of the property and surrounding area.

Located on the picturesque Waterfall Way, 'Yaraandoo' is ideally located within an easy drive to seven national parks and three World Heritage areas.

The property itself comprises 60.25 hectares, or just under 150 acres, of native Australian bushland with a variety of ecosystems traversed by eight kilometres of graded tracks.

A real standout is 2.4 kilometres of frontage to the Serpentine River and Bullock Creek with permanently flowing, crystal clear spring fed water offering multiple

swimming holes and access to some of the most highly regarded trout fishing waters internationally.

Situated in an area of such natural value and beauty, the facilities at 'Yaraandoo' have been designed to be environmentally sensitive and sustainable, being at one with the surrounding environment.

The property is able to be self-sufficient in terms of water, heat and power with environmental design features including locally sourced materials, rammed earth and mudbrick walls

for thermal efficiency and solar passive design. The building won the Australian Architectural Award for Construction and Design.

Guests are well catered for with nineteen rooms, a licensed restaurant, bar, and conference room, plus a selfcontained unit and separate caretakers cottage.

The vendor is remaining in the local area, so able to assist with handover and is also willing to discuss renting

Carol and Steve Cleary, proprietors of the café and store, have built their business on serving their community and in tough times they pull out all the stops.

“We have a well-oiled bush telegraph of loyal customers who live out around the local river systems and they phone in and say ‘all good to Harry’s Bridge’ or tell us how the Bobo river is going, and we can pass that on,” Carol told News Of The Area.

“For the recent road works on Eastern Dorrigo Way we’ve been talking with Daniel, the project manager from the Council – he reports in to us and tells us what’s happening and if there’s a road closure.

him know it’s closed or it will be open on the hour for traffic to pass.

“That’s how we’ve managed to keep communications channels open.”

Carol and Steve’s daughter, the little ray of sunshine, Katie Sibio, is the weather reporter.

“We started that to help keep mental morale up,” said Carol.

PRIME7, 8.30pm

A surprise winner of the Best Picture Oscar, this comedy directed by Peter Farrelly (There’s Something About Mary) is a refreshing take on the road-trip movie. In the early 1960s, distinguished African American pianist Don (Mahershala Ali, above right, Moonlight) hires tough Italian American bouncer Tony (Viggo Mortensen, above left) as his chauffeur for a concert tour through America’s Midwest and Deep South. An unlikely friendship develops, with the struggle to find common ground proving to be the emotional core of their journey.

You’re likely to stay awake a little longer after watching this bold series, deep in thought and questioning the order of things. Presented by Wentworth’s Danielle Cormack (pictured below right), this three-part series is seeking to start a discussion about how prisoners are integrated back into our society – with one in two back behind bars within two years, Cormack believes there is a better way.

In this premiere episode, she meets ordinary Australians who are bringing released prisoners into their homes for 100 days to help them get back on their feet. Among them is Amanda, a teacher and emptynester hosting motherof-two Sierra, who has just spent more than a year in jail.

After decades of dishing out highimpact crime drama, the stars of Law & Order: SVU are arguably more than family; how many people can say they’ve seen their kin once a week, without fail, for more than 20 years? You’re not the only one who’s more familiar with Captain Olivia Benson’s (Mariska Hargitay, pictured above) shade of lipstick than their own sister’s. Tonight, family ties come into focus in “If I Knew Then What I Know Now”. While Carisi (Peter Scanavino) and Rollins (Kelli Giddish) contemplate taking their relationship public, an adopted woman turns to Benson for help prosecuting a cold case.

By Andrea FERRARI

REGENERATIVE farming is going gangbusters.

From curious youngsters wanting to work for a better world and uni students seeking a career in the field, to scientists, farm owners and ecologists, Regenerative Agriculture is a business that is booming.

Southern Cross University is pioneering Regenerative Agriculture with a range of science-based study opportunities from short courses to graduate degrees and industry partnerships backed by industry through the Regenerative Agricultural

Founder of these initiatives is a passionate working farmer of 35 years, whose knowledge and experience is deeply embedded in the academic and practical gamut of Regenerative Agriculture.

“There is a constant moving feast of challenges and it’s always an exciting place to be working in; you can just merge into so many spaces and spheres of the industry – where ecology, sciences and agriculture merge.

“That’s why we are seeing a keen interest in our graduates – with jobs lined up for them before they graduate.

Nominations Open For Contributing Seniors

By Andrew VIVIAN

SENIORS who make the Coffs Coast a great place to live can be recognised for their efforts, according to the Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh.

Mr Singh is encouraging locals to nominate Coffs Coast seniors who contribute to the community for the 2022 NSW Seniors Festival Local Achievement Awards.

“Seniors are invaluable to our local community as volunteers, carers and role models – even more so during such a challenging year,” Mr Singh said.

“If you know a senior who helps make our community diverse, inspiring and active, then I encourage you to nominate

them for acknowledgement of their contribution.”

Nomination forms can be collected from Mr Singh’s electorate office at Suite 1/9 Park Avenue, Coffs Harbour, and should be returned by Friday, 25 March.

Winners of the Coffs Harbour Seniors Local Achievement Awards will be announced during the NSW Seniors Festival which runs from 25 March until 3 April.

Mr Singh said the awards program is part of an exciting schedule of events across the state and is the largest festival for seniors in the southern hemisphere, and enables older people to engage with each other, their community, services and

Field work is a huge part of SCU’s courses.

“We take our students, who come from all over Australia, over the Great Divide.

“We need to expose them to different landscapes rather than to just what’s on the coast.”

Through the Farming Together program, SCU has a number of cluster groups of expertise around the country which the students have access to.

“There is a major cluster in the Bellingen Shire which brings together our researchers, our National Resource Managers (NMRs), Landcare representatives, local farmers, our consultants, students, and our teachers and mentors, all working together looking at the challenges and how to go about solving them.

“One of the reasons I am so drawn to this sector is

The NSW Minister for Seniors, Mark Coure, said the festival and the awards highlight the vital role seniors play in the community.

“We are never stuck in groundhog day,” she laughs.

Lorraine lives in Urunga, farms at Ebor and her offices are in Coffs Harbour and Lismore, on site at SCU. “I’ve lived and breathed agriculture for a very long time, and I put my money where my mouth is, for instance investing in carbon farming and associated regenerative practices.

“I’ve come from the lived experience of making mistakes and learning from them.”

Connect to Wellbeing for mental health support after floods AS communities continue to deal with the immediate issues of the current flood emergency, Healthy North Coast is reminding people to also support their mental health and wellbeing.

Chief Executive Julie Sturgess said while the North Coast community is incredibly resilient, the recent events will be taking a toll on people’s heads and hearts.

“Besides the stress

of living through a flood event, we know that many residents will now be feeling devastated because they have lost their homes and possessions.

“Residents who have been displaced, cut off or are without power, will also be feeling isolated and stressed.

“Connect to Wellbeing can provide you with

“Right now, we have extended Connect to Wellbeing service hours to better support people during this flood situation.”

DESPITE a harrowing week of floods and devastation across northern NSW, Southern Cross University has maintained its scheduled commencement of teaching.

Students at SCU’s Coffs Harbour campus begin their 2022 studies on March 7 with face-to-face classes.

Vice Chancellor Professor Tyrone Carlin said being able to start the academic year on time was a priority for the University as it dealt with the impacts of the floods this week.

“Our Lismore campus is in good order but it is also hosting a Recovery Centre for the Lismore floods and with hundreds of people there, we

had to make the decision to switch to online delivery for those students for the first part of the year,” Professor Carlin said.

“The University community has been deeply affected and heart-broken by the devastation of lives and property across the region.

So many of our own staff, students and their friends and families have suffered enormous loss.”

However, Southern Cross is joining the efforts that have swung so quickly from rescue to recovery.

Vice President Engagement Ben Roche said the University was already in discussion with local schools

and business to offer support to help them re-establish.

“When the last big flood hit in 2017, this sort of support took the form of providing access to safe working locations, internet, electricity and running water,” Mr Roche said.

“Schools across the region are also battling to restore their operations and Southern Cross is keen to engage where we can help.”

Southern Cross was established in Lismore in 1994 and has since expanded to include campuses at Coffs and Gold Coast, currently home to about 18,000 students.

Dorrigo sends silage to Northern Rivers

By Andrea FERRARI

“IT’S hard not to feel emotional when you see how badly affected they are up there,” David Gibson, Gibson Pastoral Company, Dorrigo, told News Of The Area, after he’d spent the day delivering silage to flood-devastated farmers on the Northern Rivers.

David was one of five local beef and dairy producers on the Dorrigo Plateau who got together to see how they could help their rural friends whose farms have been flooded out during the catastrophic floods in Lismore and surrounding areas.

“I’ve got two good mates in Lismore, Darryl Boyd, a baling contractor and Dwight Wyatt, an AI breeder, and in chatting with them they asked for direct deliveries to their farm.

“And we thought if we’re going to do it, we must do it quickly, and deal direct with the farmers who are in desperate need.

“We rallied in two days with five of us leaving on

Sunday morning (6 March) in our trucks loaded with 180 donated silage bales and headed up to Lismore and surrounds.

“We just went straight to the farmers.

“A couple of our trucks went to the area between Casino and Coraki.

q The first bales to be loaded for the Dorrigo to Northern Rivers Silage Run - this load was donated and transported

by David and Shona Gibson of Gibson Pastoral. The quality control hound is Russell the whippet owned by Sue Francis.

“These guys were nearly in tears when they saw us.

“As we were with them, seeing their plight.”

With more silage pledged the Dorrigo Plateau farmers hope to target Coraki again during the week.

One act play festival comes to Jetty Memorial Theatre

By David TUNE

THE One Random Act- One Act Play Festival, presented

by CHATS Productions at the Jetty Memorial Theatre will provide five one act plays on stage in a single production.

Five new directors have selected a variety of short plays that have allowed them to experience directing a show for the first time.

Event coordinator and CHATS Life Member Sharon Edwards told News Of The Area, “This initiative is created to encourage new people to try their hand at directing in a slightly less challenging situation than a multi act play.

We have five very different plays, and five dedicated new directors bringing them to

Friday, 11 March 2022

the Jetty Memorial Theatre for the first time.”

The plays are: - ’21 Chump St’, written by Lin Manuel Miranda directed

by Rebecca Riches, which is a short musical based on a true story, and somewhat parodies the show ’21 Jump St’.

- ‘Two Women and a Chair’ by Australian playwright Michael Olsen and directed by Bec Pakes, described as “two actors arrive at an audition, only to find a lone chair in the room.

Will everything hinge on who claims the chair?”.

- ‘Bad Auditions by Bad Actors’, by Ian McWethy and directed by Trudy Jeffery, a comedy centred on a director attempting to cast a community theatre production of ‘Romeo and

Juliet’ with a disparate cast of auditionees.

- Anton Chekhov’s ‘The Bear’ directed by Lily Tasker, from the Russian master, this play is sometimes described as “A joke in one act”.

- ‘Sister Kenny’, written and directed by Becky Cole, an original work that has been performed for one season previously, and that will resonate with CHATS members and followers due to the connection with late doyen Shirley Barnett.

The season of eight performances begins on March 25 and concludes Sunday April 3.

Living with a big drinker?

Al-Anon can support you

By Andrea FERRARI

AL-ANON Coffs Harbour is welcoming an increasing number of new members who are joining the group, seeking help, support and coping techniques for living with a family member, friend or relative who is drinking (alcohol) too much.

“Our Coffs Harbour AlAnon has been going for 40 years and is welcoming new members as a result of COVID-related changes in how people are living and

sharing their homes,” group spokesperson Julia told News Of The Area.

“With job losses, businesses going bust and enforced isolation, people are living in stress and distress and turning to, or turning up their consumption of alcohol,” said Julia.

“Can you imagine being at home all day with someone who is drinking too much?”

“If your home is unhappy because someone drinks too much, Al-Anon can help.”

Al-Anon is a support

group for people who are affected by other people’s drinking; friends, family and relatives of alcoholics or heavy drinkers.

“Al-Anon and the teenagers’ group, Alateen, is an anonymous program where people can come along to a meeting and talk about their experience or just listen, safe in the knowledge that they can say what they like and it will go no further than that room.”

MEMBERS of the Coffs Harbour Veteran and Vintage Car Club recently helped Bob Dixon celebrate the 100th anniversary of his Th. Schneider car, which was built in Besancon, France in 1922.

Schneider cars enjoyed a reputation for quality and racing success in the 1920’s.

A Th. Schneider broke the Melbourne to Adelaide record in 1925, covering the 573 miles of rough roads in twelve hours and ten minutes, helping to establish their reputation in Australia.

Bob acquired his Schneider in 1956, with much work being required to restore it from a pile of bits

back to roadworthy condition.

For many years he has enjoyed driving it in local club runs and supporting community events such as Bellingen Anzac Day Marches and the Coffs Harbour Show Grand Parades with it.

A special cake was enjoyed on the day and Bob was awarded a ‘100 year’ badge for the Schneider which was issued by the Veteran Car Club of South Australia.

After enjoying the cake, members re-enacted the scene of a period advertisement produced when Bob’s car was new.

Club President Andrew Winter, on presenting the

100 year badge, noted that, “Bob’s car is 100 years old and Bob himself turns 85 this year, so to see a combined car and driver age of 185 years still motoring about is quite unique!”

The Coffs Harbour Veteran and Vintage Car Club was established in 1974 and offers events and fellowship for owners and enthusiasts of historic vehicles across the local region.

The Club meets at the Boambee Community Hall at 6:45 on the first Thursday of each month and can be reached via email at chvvcc@ gmail.com.

Anon is “who you see here, what you hear here, what you say here, let it stay here”.

“When someone has the floor and is talking, we don’t interrupt, we let them have free rein,” said Julia.

“If you are very distressed because a loved one drinks and you’ve tried everything you can to help them stop, Al-Anon is a program that focuses on ourselves…it’s not about the alcoholic.

“For me it’s a program for life, generally.

“I started coming to

meetings many years ago, to help my husband get sober.

“That didn’t work but I am a very different person today than if I hadn’t come to AlAnon.

“We cannot change others, but we can change ourselves.”

Coffs Al-Anon has two meetings a week: on Mondays at 12.30pm at the Presbyterian Church Hall, 187 Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour and on Fridays at 6pm at the Salvation Army Hall at 40 Mastracolas Road, Coffs Harbour.

Carer Gateway Offers Support

By Paul FOGARTY

MORE than one-in-ten Australians care for a family member or friend with a disability, medical condition, mental illness, drug or alcohol dependency or someone who is frail due to age.

These carers have been among those impacted by recent severe weather events across the State, according to Carers NSW

CEO Elena Katrakis.

“Carers are usually the ones executing the evacuation plan, providing physical and emotional support and essential services for people who cannot do it by themselves,” Ms Katrakis said.

“It is evident that carers living in flood-affected regions are experiencing additional stress and pressure, that is why it is important to make carers

40 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

aware of the services available to support them in their caring role.”

Behind the scenes and often forgotten in natural disasters are informal carers.

However, carers in flood-affected Northern NSW are playing a pivotal role in ensuring vulnerable individuals are supported.

According to Carers NSW when a natural disaster such as the recent flooding occurs

it creates additional stress and anxiety to what is often already a challenging role as a carer.

“With limited access to support networks, social services, medication and food supplies the role a carer plays in a loved one’s life becomes even more crucial,” Ms Katrakis said.

Services such as Carer Gateway connect carers to free practical and emotional supports including planned

media@newsofthearea.com.au

and emergency respite care, tailored support packages and counselling.

“Digital Access Points (DAPs) are also available for carers to access Carer Gateway’s website, as well as other relevant websites such as Service NSW and Services Australia.”

Carer Gateway Digital Access Points (DAPs) are free to use and are located at PCYC clubs in Grafton, Muswellbrook, Tweed

Heads, Moree, Armidale, Tamworth and Kempsey.

“We understand for many communities impacted by the floods the road to recovery is long.

“For carers, we want to ensure they continue to be informed about the ongoing services and support available to them as they continue to navigate not only themselves but the person they care through this challenging time,” Ms Katrakis said.

Why would you volunteer at a hospital café?

VOLUNTEER Waveney Ayscough is urging people to donate their ‘spare’ time to helping others.

Here she shares her experience and reasons why you just might enjoy it.

“I think it really hit home to me how important the Bellingen Hospital Auxiliary is when a nurse thanked us for providing a brand new $4,000 vital signs monitor.

“This machine is used every single day, by many staff for the patients.

“The nurse told us it was a pleasure to have such a modern, reliable and accurate piece of equipment.

“In fact, we have raised funds to purchase items for Bellingen hospital from a long wish-list of vital medical equipment.

“It was a fantastic feeling to be recently thanked by the surgery team for the new $60,000 Stryker surgical bed, which replaced an older piece of equipment.

“Seeing what we have achieved, as a team for the hospital, being able to donate our profits to purchase these expensive medical tools is amazing.

“I love that the staff, who work so hard, are using stateof-the art equipment because of funds raised by Mary’s Tea House, the hospital café operated by volunteers.”

Waveney said the Bellingen Hospital Auxiliary is in desperate need of more volunteers.

“I can’t tell you how important this little café is

to the whole Bellingen Shire community.

“Here is my perspective: I am a frontline health worker.

“I often return home from a night shift late, only to get up the next morning at 4.30am to return to the hospital for the early shift.

“I don’t have a chance to shop or time to make myself breakfast or lunch.

“I am so grateful for the meals and treats, especially the coffee, which the Auxiliary provides for the staff, patients, and their visitors.

“So many members of our team are forever grateful, but it does not stop there.

“The money raised goes straight back to the hospital to buy the equipment that is used to benefit the whole community.

“To benefit anyone who

has ever used the hospital.”

Waveney said volunteering at the hospital feels good and connects you with your community spirit.

“It is a beautiful thing to be able to give back, and the appreciation of the recipients is a real boost.

“As a volunteer you will be trained to use the coffee machine and you can have as many cups of tea and coffee as you can drink.

“Lunch is also provided for our volunteers.”

With a range of people from different stages in life volunteering, Waveney hopes to bust misconceptions about who can volunteer.

“I also want to break the stereotype of who volunteers at the cafe.

“I have school-aged children. q Volunteer and frontline health worker Waveney Ayscough loves helping the hospital as a member of the Bellingen Hospital Auxiliary.

MEMBER for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the State Government’s Social Sector Support Fund provides organisations with grants of up to $200,000.

“This funding will provide our frontline organisations with a helping hand.

“I love it when we are complimented on the wonderful things we bake.

“You make friends, meet people, learn new skills, and connect.

“However, the best feeling is knowing that I am giving back to the team that has been there for me when my children, friends and family

have been ill or needed the emergency department.”

Waveney argues that science backs her claims about the benefits of volunteering.

“By measuring hormones and brain activity, researchers have discovered that being helpful to others delivers immense pleasure.

“Human beings are hardwired to give to others.

“The more we give, the happier we feel.

“I can’t think of a better way to help your local community, and to spark joy within yourself.”

Volunteers do need to be 18 years or older to volunteer,

but you don’t need any experience to get started.

“We will teach you,” Waveney said.

“To work within a health campus, you are required to have two COVID-19 shots and a police check.

“You can work in the café once a month, if that is all the time you can spare.

“The bottom line is Bellingen Hospital café, Mary’s Tea House, needs more volunteers.

“How about you?”

The Tigers now play Bellingen FC on Saturday 12 March with a 2pm kick off at the Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Park synthetic fields in round four of the Australia Cup. Northern NSW Game Development Lead Matt Crawley was excited about the young girls showcasing their skills in the new Youth Girls competition.

"All of the girls who have been to a come and try session are loving footy, you can tell by the huge smiles on their faces," he said.

"The new girls are finding that the skills they already have from other sports are making the transition to footy easy.

“Whether those skills are catching, kicking, running, jumping, tackling, or agility, these are all attributes that are valued highly in AFL. "It's definitely helping to have the AFLW competition on TV at the present time.

“There's no doubt that girls love watching the matches on TV, but then they want to be able to try the skills themselves."

Surfing for a cause at the Barney Miller Charity Surf Classic

By Aiden BURGESS

SAWTELL’S surfing community are ready to hit the waves for a great cause during this year's Barney Miller Charity Surf Classic.

The annual event is set to feature three big days of surfing on 25-27 March at Sawtell Main Beach.

The fundraising event is hosted by Barney and Kada Miller and the Sawtell community, and helps to raise money for people who have suffered spinal cord and life-changing surfing injuries.

This year’s recipient is the family of Woolgoolga surfer Tim Thompson, who

was fatally attacked by a shark last year.

Tim’s wife Katie is the 2022 recipient with all funds raised aiming to help with raising their new baby girl who was born in January, as well as living costs.

This year will be the 22nd running of the annual event founded by world adaptive surfing champion Barney Miller, who sustained debilitating injuries from a motor vehicle accident.

Sawtell Boardriders Club members Harper McIntosh and Fletcher O’Sullivan are two of the many Sawtell surfers who will take part in this year's Barney Miller Charity Surf Classic.

It will be the two twelveyear-old groms' fourth Classic they have taken part in on their home break at Sawtell Main Beach.

Harper McIntosh won his event at last year's Classic, and was looking forward to defending his title after an interrupted surfing season.

“It’s just good to get out there and compete with your mates on your home break,” he said.

“Last year I competed at the Woolworths Surfer Grom Comp and the Billabong Oz Grom Cup in Coffs Harbour, but there haven’t been many competitions lately due to COVID, so I’m really looking

forward to the Barney Miller Classic.”

Fellow grom Fletcher O’Sullivan also couldn’t wait to take part in this year's Classic.

“It’s good for everyone in the community to come together for a good cause, and it's fun competing with all your mates,” he said.

The semi-finals were the latest casualty of a season in which the majority of rounds have been washed out due to Coffs Harbour’s wet summer.

First grade minor premiers Nana Glen were scheduled to play Diggers Cricket Club Inc. for a spot

in this year’s grand final, while Sawtell were meant to play the Northern Districts Rebels in their elimination semi-final.

Second grade was set to feature Valleys Cricket and Bellingen facing off for a spot in the grand final, with Diggers Cricket Club

Inc. playing off against Coffs Colts in their elimination semi-final.

any age and being one of the youngest in the field is just phenomenal,” she said.

“There is an added pressure competing at an open level, against athletes who are older and more experienced but it’s also an amazing opportunity.

“Bella was the only athlete from Coffs Harbour competing at the championships and her results are a testament to her commitment, hard work and dedication.”

Teale’s former coach

described what made her one of the state’s finest in her age group.

“Her passion, dedication and commitment, you won’t meet anyone with a greater work ethic,” she said.

“She works incredibly hard, and this hard work has translated into the huge improvements she has made over the last 18 months.

“She has found a love of swimming she never had, and to see her shine is just the greatest pleasure.”

The Bombers exploded into celebration as Kyle Wood gave a big swan dive towards his europhic teammates.

Boambee coach Robert Fitzgerald applauded the positive attitude that kept his team in the game.

“It was a great

opportunity to come up against a fellow CPL side in what is realistically our first real hit out of 2022.

“Although we are coming off a very disrupted preseason and the boys are still forming combinations on the pitch and coming up to full match fitness, what has pleased me the most has been the attitude within the team which has been nothing less than fantastic.

“It was that positive attitude that kept us in the game when we went

behind on the scoreboard and that positive attitude that clawed us back to level pegging, super proud of the lads in this regard.

“We were able to stretch them across the park and were quick in our transitions, which continually applied pressure to their defence and frustrated their attacks.

“We were unlucky not to bag a few more goals, the woodwork denying us more than once along with several top class saves from the Northern Storm keeper.

q Resolute Boambee defence with Boambee goalkeeper Kyle Wood, who scored the winning penalty.

SPORTS “The penalty shootout, well, what a crazy and entertaining way to end a game of football.

“Next up we face Oxley Vale Attunga in round four who are in a league of their own in the Inland comp, so we won't be underestimating them,” said Robert.

Northern Storm coach Eric McCarthy said it was a tough way to go out of the Cup. “We had a tough FFA Cup draw for the opening round, hopefully Boambee felt the same for the first kick of a ball for the season.

COFFS Harbour Golf Club Life Member Margaret Holloway is moving to Canberra to be closer to her family. Margaret spent 38 years at the club and has made many friends and her happy nature and smile will be very much missed by everyone.

Margaret joined the golf club in 1984 and soon became a valued member contributing to the success of ladies golf. Margaret was on many committees including the Board of Directors, the Ladies

Committee, the Festival of Golf Committee and was the Ladies Vice President.

The golf club ladies gifted Margaret a photo of the 12th hole, some flowers and champagne.

Some funny stories were told about Margaret and in particular a story where she used to measure the young girls skirts to ensure they were an appropriate length when she was Vice President in the 1980s.

How times have changed.

Coffs Harbour Golf Club wishes Margaret all the best for the next chapter in her life.

“I thought it was a good game, great for the spectators where both sides played some fast and tidy football at times.

“I was pleased with how my team played considering it’s an entirely new starting eleven compared to last year’s campaign.

“We were firmly in control and at 2-0 up until Tom Sweeny's red card put us under massive pressure for the last 35 minutes.

“Penny's tussle in the box where he went down gave the referee a tough call to make, it's one of those 50/50 calls, some days it’s a

penalty, some days it's not.

“That goal lifted Boambee and unfortunately the lads couldn't hold them with ten players.

“A thrilling 11-10 shoot out is always exciting, but it's a tough way to lose.

“Charlie Shipperlee was so unlucky, got his hand to numerous penalties but with wet and windy conditions couldn't keep them out.

“Good luck to Boambee in the next round, they're a decent side and there's no shame in getting dumped out by them,” said Eric.
