encounter between the Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat at C.ex Coffs International Stadium on January 3.

Despite the Sixers posting 8-141 from 20 overs, the match concluded with a narrow 3-run victory for the Brisbane Heat under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern system, reaching 4-104 in 14.3 overs after the game was finally abandoned due to the rain.

Josh Phillippe made an impressive start for the Sixers, contributing 41 runs and captivating the partisan crowd with two massive sixes and two fours.

However, the momentum shifted when Phillippe was caught

by Sam Billings off a delivery from Paul Walter, the player of the match.

Sixers captain Moises Henriques provided stability but was eventually run out after accumulating 22 runs, leaving the Sydney side with a total of 141 for the loss of 8 wickets in their allotted 20 overs.

The Heat were at 4-80 after 12 overs when rain interrupted play.

Following a loss of three overs, the revised target became 44 off five overs.

Paul Walter, the big-hitting English allrounder, proved instrumental in securing victory for the Heat.

He smashed a colossal legside six off Tom Curran from the first ball after the break, and then hit two fours in the first three balls of the Power Surge over, guiding the Heat to a score of 4-104.

Despite the disappointment for the

predominantly Sixers crowd, both due to the result and the weather, the enthusiasm of the vocal Coffs Coast spectators remained undiminished.

Fans sang songs, howled and cheered every wicket and boundary, embracing the carnival atmosphere.

Coffs Harbour Mayor Paul Amos presented the match ball to the Brisbane Heat bowlers, and juniors from the Northern District Rebels entertained the crowd at halftime, securing a $1,000 prize for the Woolgoolga club.

Twenty junior cricketers from the North Coast had the unique opportunity to soak in the match atmosphere, including autographs from the players, during the interval after the first innings.

NSW Club and Competition Specialist Steve Meakins, still an active participant for Diggers Cricket Club Coffs Harbour, praised the event as a resounding success.

“The Big Bash not only brings the cricket community together, but it is a true entertainment spectacle for everyone,” he said.

“The community has embraced the Sixers as their team, and the ground was surrounded by magenta.

“It’s a massive boost for junior cricketers as they get to see the players they watch on TV and experience first-hand cricket at the elite level.

“The music and the format of the game make it appealing to everyone, and there was a terrific atmosphere at C.ex Coffs International Stadium, we are already looking forward to the next event.”

The passenger – aged 23 – was airlifted to John Hunter Hospital in a critical condition.

Officers from Coffs Clarence Police District established a crime scene, which was then examined by specialist police.

The driver was later identified as Sam Chrimes from the Newcastle region,

who had been camping in the Woolgoolga region with friends and his partner.

Tragically, Mr Chrimes was due to be married, having proposed to his girlfriend of nine years just days prior on New Year’s Eve. A gofundme set up for Mr Chrimes’ fiancé described him as a “generous guy who would do anything for his mates and especially his fiancé whom he adored”.

“Sam and his beautiful fiancé Vanessa were

childhood sweethearts and had been together since she was fourteen and he was seventeen,” gofundme organiser Ben Johnston said.

“In the almost nine years they were together they only ever spent two nights away from each other - a true sign of their love they shared.

“At the end of last year Sam, Vanessa and a group of friends were camping in Woolgoolga on their annual holiday.

“On New Year’s Eve Sam got down on one knee and proposed to Ness during the

Bee educated at Coffs Wildlife Sanctuary

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Coffs Harbour Branch of the Australian Native Bee Association (ANBA) has installed a native beehive at the Coffs Coast Wildlife Sanctuary (CCWS) as part of its Host a Hive program.

This is the second hive installed by the Branch, the first being located in the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden in Coffs Harbour.

The hive is home to the Tetragonula Carbonaria species. “(This is) a social native stingless bee,” Elaine Bean, Chairperson of ANBA’s Coffs Harbour Branch, told News Of The Area.

The aim of the Host a Hive program is to increase awareness of these fascinating native pollinators in community and educational settings on the Mid North Coast.

The hive was placed into position by Elaine Bean and Tiga Cross, owner and Managing Director of Coffs Coast Wildlife Sanctuary, on Friday 29 December.

The Coffs Coast Wildlife Sanctuary is located at 65 Orlando Street, Coffs Harbour, near the Jetty.

The hive is safely housed in a security cage provided by local custom metal fabrication

expert Jason Atkinson of Acko Kustoms.

The unique stand was handcrafted from a single log by Rob Reid from the maintenance team at the Sanctuary.

Positioned in the sustainability garden at the Sanctuary, visitors are provided with the opportunity to sit and enjoy these tiny insects.

“The hive is available to view by all guests visiting the Sanctuary, including our school and coach groups, reaching around 60,000-plus

people per year,” Tiga told NOTA. “We will be increasing our bee education in our ‘ed-venture’ programs and our day-to-day sustainability garden viewing.

“The display is not only providing a safe home for our 7000 new residents but also provides key education around the use of pesticides in our gardens, planting native plants with flowers to support wildlife and pollination, educating the community on honey production, and following

Despite their small size, these little pollinators are essential for biodiversity and supporting the world’s ecosystem.

“The Coffs Harbour branch is thrilled to be associated with the CCWS,” said Elaine.

“ANBA, through our branch in Coffs Harbour, wants to increase community awareness of the existence and importance of over 2000 species of Australian native bees.

“Native bees vary in shape, size, colour and

behaviour.

“The vast majority of native bees are solitary, with only eleven species that live in a large group with a queen.

“Native bees are an important part of our natural environment, and have increasingly significant value for our agricultural industry.

“They have many threats, some of which are man-made, including land clearing and insecticides.

“By educating the community we hope to change human behaviours and protect these native pollinators,” she said.

The hive will be

monitored and maintained by the ANBA. The Australian Native Bee Association is a national support network and mentor for interested beekeepers of native stingless bees.

Networking opportunities and connection with others are available to share experiences and information on native bee diversity, habitats, techniques and ideas.

The Coffs Harbour branch meets once a month from spring to autumn.

Q: Jason, for our readers who may not be familiar, can you explain what upholstery is and how it fits into everyday life?

A: Certainly! Upholstery involves the process of providing furniture, especially seats, with padding, springs, webbing, and fabric or leather covers. It’s not just about making things comfortable; it also adds an aesthetic touch to various items in our daily lives, like sofas, chairs, as well as custom bedheads even vehicle interiors.

Q: Apart from upholstery, what other services does The Little Upholstery Shop provide?

A: At The Little Upholstery Shop, we offer a range of services. We work on motor car upholstery like roof linings, seat repairs as well as restoring fogged Perspex on your car’s headlights. We do custom motorcycle seats, airplane interiors, helicopter interiors, as well as marine seats and Bimini covers, caravan interiors, and commercial shop fit outs.

You may have seen some of our work at local establishments like the renovated Sawtell Pub and

Q: That’s interesting! Can you share why The Little Upholstery Shop has decided to venture into canvas work?

A: Absolutely. Just before Christmas one of the major canvas providers in Coffs Harbour closed its doors for the final time due to the owner retiring.

This closure would create a significant gap in the area for people seeking canvas work. To address this, we’ve not only adapted our workspace but also hired new staff with extensive experience in canvas projects. Our goal is to not only fill the market void but also contribute to the community by providing ongoing employment opportunities for our new staff members.

Q: How has The Little Upholstery Shop prepared to take on these larger canvas projects?

media@newsofthearea.com.au

A: We’ve made some strategic adjustments to our workspace to accommodate the specific requirements of canvas work. This includes ensuring we have the right space, equipment, and tools to handle larger projects efficiently. We’re excited about the possibilities and are confident that our experienced team can deliver high-quality canvas projects for our clients.

Q: In summary, what message would you like to convey to the community regarding The Little Upholstery Shop and its services?

A: If you’re in need of professional upholstery, motor trimming, or canvas work, The Little Upholstery Shop is here for you. With our expanded services, and professional and friendly staff we’re ready to cover you in style. Whether it’s updating the interior of your vehicle or creating custom canvas pieces, we’re dedicated to providing top-notch craftsmanship and filling the gap left by the recent closure of a major canvas supplier in Coffs Harbour.

By Andrea FERRARI CELEBRATING 100 years, Coffs Harbour Swimming Club members have been sharing memories and digging through the archives in preparation for a centenary party on Saturday 13 January 2024.

Coffs Harbour Swimming Club secretary Sam Bergen shared some history with News Of The Area.

In September 1923, leading local swimmers Harry Cremer, Roy Fern and Jim Smith met to form a swimming club to promote swimming both at a recreational and competitive level.

Swimming lessons for the young commenced, together with coaching and training for the more experienced.

It was then decided to hold a carnival at the end of the year.

The majority of the Club’s swimmers and members were also affiliated with either the Jetty or Park Beach Surf Club.

Coffs Harbour Swimming Club’s first carnival was held in the Coffs Saltwater Creek on Monday, 31 December 1923 with over 300 people in attendance.

The swimming club became enormously popular within the community due to the proximity to the local settlement and access to a natural harbour, beaches and a clean deep-water creek.

However, as club member Richy Lloyd

COFFS COAST News Of The Area

Swimming Club celebrates centenary shared with NOTA, “The water quality in the salt water pools impacted carnivals, in particular when the butter factory would dump milk overflow into the creek.

“At the conclusion of World War Two a fundraising committee was established to gain finances to build an Olympic sized swimming pool.

“Members conducted door to door canvassing and the Coffs Harbour ExServices club helped donate funds.”

The Coffs Harbour Swimming Club became a part of Mid North Coast Amateur Swimming Association in 1959.

After many years of saving and fundraising, the pool was built and opened in 1969.

“The council operated the pool from 1969 to 1980 and was then taken over under lease by John and Cheryl Neville from 1980 to 2004, who were very supportive and active within the swim club,” said Richy.

In 2010, the Coffs Harbour War Memorial pool underwent significant upgrades, of which $750,000 was donated

by Coffs Harbour Swimming Club life member Barbara Hogbin.

“Barbara was one of a few dedicated instructors who passionately taught thousands of children to swim in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

“Lessons were initially for free, eventually payment was required and a small ‘learn to swim’ pool was constructed.

“Once children had finished learning to swim, they were encouraged to join the swim club.”

Today's club swimmers take inspiration from former Coffs Harbour Swimming Club members Olympian Maddy Gough, Paralympian Maddie McTernan, Deaf Olympics competitor Josh Chapman and 2023 World Dwarf Games medallist Anna Sydenham.

100 years on from the first carnival, Coffs Harbour Swimming Club continues

Knitting Nannas win court challenge

By Andrew VIVIAN

‘KNITTING Nannas’ Helen Kvelde and Dominique Jacobs have won a significant victory for the right to protest in NSW, with the Supreme Court finding offences established under the former Government’s anti-protest regime unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court ruled

that sections 214A (1) (c) and (d) of the NSW Crimes Act “impermissibly burden the implied freedom of political communication contrary to the Commonwealth Constitution”.

The laws, passed in April 2022 after a series of climate protests, allowed for people to be fined $22,000 or sentenced

to two years in prison for causing damage or disruption to a major facility, main roads or highways.

Greens MP and spokesperson for justice, Sue Higginson said, “These draconian laws were brought in when climate protests were fighting tooth and nail to get the government to act on climate change and

from a range of ages, countries, cultures and faiths.

A stall provided information and education resources, including an ‘Australia Tool Kit’.

The crowd was encouraged to contact Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong and Defence Minister Richard Marles before marching together and chanting slogans.

Six other gatherings have since been held, with the last four being on consecutive Saturdays at 1pm in the City Square.

Activities have included painting banners and there has also been a film

screening in Bellingen, with another planned for January 27.

“My friend and I were both concerned that local Arab, Muslim and Jewish families might need support after a 75-year struggle for independence,” a spokesperson for the group said.

“These are ceasefire rallies only, calling for the devastation to schools, hospitals and refugee camps to halt.

“We’re not anti-Jewish but want the killing of civilians to stop.”

The next Gather for Gaza event will take place at the Jetty Boardwalk entrance in Coffs Harbour on Saturday, January 13 at 7pm for a sunset vigil.

Residents gather for Gaza

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE conflict in Gaza has generated a range of opinions about what has happened, is happening and should happen since the October attack on Israel by Hamas and Israel’s actions thereafter.

Across the planet, including in Israel, people are calling for a ceasefire to halt the increasing civilian death toll.

In Coffs Harbour, on November 19, more than 250 people gathered to show support for the people of Palestine.

The ‘Gather for Gaza’ crowd heard from speakers

q Local Knitting Nannas members protesting in Coffs Harbour in 2022. instead of listening, the Minister for Transport came into Parliament and rushed in laws aimed at silencing them.”

“The State fought the Knitting Nannas every step of the way, but the brave Knitting Nannas, ably represented by the Environmental Defenders Office and expert barristers, prevailed,” she said.

“We have seen protestors targeted, searched, jailed and face harsh restrictive bail conditions under an anti-

protest regime that is now showing to be contrary to our fundamental rights of political communication in this country.”

Local Knitting Nannas member Chris Degan said, “We are really pleased, although the judgement didn’t quite go far enough.

“The Knitting Nannas feel that this success will force the government to look at how they are policing peaceful demonstrations.

“The court has shown that

peaceful protest is integral to a democratic society.”

Ms Higginson said the laws were brought in by the former Coalition Government with the support of Labor and Premier Minns needs to take steps to repeal the laws and walk back on the serious impingement on democratic rights.

“We need to repeal the anti-protest laws and protect the right to protest in law,” she said.

Ignorance at the root of tree vandalism

By Andrea FERRARI VANDALISM to trees, some in an area of littoral rainforest along the dunes at Jetty Beach, is down to ignorance of the perpetrators, say members of the 40-year-old Jetty Dunecare group.

“It is so important to try and educate all beach visitors as well as perpetrators,” long-time Jetty Dunecare volunteer Desnee McCosker said.

“The area is identified as Littoral Rainforest which is an Endangered Ecological Community (EEC) and so is legally protected vegetation,” Lindy Davis from Jetty Dunecare told NOTA. Desnee and Lindy have been working closely with the City of Coffs Harbour, which has been supportive of protection of the area’s vegetation.

Fencing and signage will be installed but the timeframe remains unconfirmed.

In the meantime, Council

has given Jetty Dunecare permission and assistance to erect temporary fencing.

The first fencing installed was around a banksia tree that was being “loved to death for its shade and was being eroded from foot traffic at the front of the dune”.

“We also fenced the west side of the established littoral rainforest trees, near the café, that were being vandalised,” Desnee said.

It was taken out as part of the redevelopment of the TS Vendetta site.

Lindy is urging for a maintenance and education commitment to the area.

“It is only since the opening of the café that the banksia has been accessed from the west as well as the beach.”

q This banksia tree was being eroded by shade seekers.

Jetty Dunecare members believe there need to be more shade trees on the beach and out the front of the café so there is less pressure on the isolated, now vulnerable, banksia tree.

“The café has become quite popular and the mature tuckeroo trees along the edge of the rainforest have had their lower branches lopped to allow people to access the shade,” said Lindy.

“Now that this area has been opened up and is being frequented by a constant flow of people, urgent action is required to avoid any further damage.”

If left unmanaged, Dunecare says this area is likely to continue to be degraded.

“Given the significant public cost of this development there needs to be proactive management ongoing.

“Spending is needed on expanding shaded areas and landscaping to control access and erosion.”

Jetty Dunecare was consulted in the early days of the redevelopment.

Members were assured that management would be part of the project’s ecological objectives and costed appropriately.

“We need this to happen sooner rather than later,”

Desnee said.

“These unique natural assets need to be properly protected for this new infrastructure not to contribute to further degradation.

“Part of the longterm environmental sustainability of this project will require effective ongoing education.

“This could begin with signage, explaining the true value and fragility of this natural area that we are fortunate to share.”

Jetty Dunecare members urge all those involved in the approval of this development to take responsibility for making sure everything is done to get the best possible outcomes for all.

A City of Coffs Harbour spokesperson told NOTA, “The City acknowledges the importance of littoral rainforest vegetation along our coastline.

“The City supports the vegetation management works of Jetty Dunecare and its volunteers and contractors through the City’s Environmental Levy Grants Program.

“The City will continue to engage with Jetty Dunecare on any protection works at the Jetty Foreshores to reduce damage to coastal vegetation.”

Keeping kids safe online during school holiday time CRIME Stoppers, NSW Police Force, the eSafety Commissioner and the Australian Federal Police-led Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation joined forces this holiday season to raise awareness of the safety risks facing young people online.

The holiday period is an opportunity for kids to relax after the school year.

Unfortunately, it’s also an opportunity for sexual predators who know children will be spending more time online, potentially unsupervised.

Predators are increasingly gaining access to children online through popular apps, games, and social media sites to solicit sexual images or video, or harm them physically.

“The campaign will focus on the online space in two key areas,” Crime Stoppers CEO Mr Peter Price AM said.

“Firstly, prepare parents and help them better manage their children’s online presence and safety.

“Secondly to educate teens around sextortion – how to avoid it and what to do if they fall victim to a

predator.

“Crime Stoppers’ mandate is to help: to stop, solve and prevent crime.

“Today we are imploring parents to be even more attentive.

“Protecting our most vulnerable is a priority young or old.”

According to the Mind the Gap Research undertaken by eSafety, there are significant gaps in parents’ awareness.

The research showed 55 percent of children communicated with someone they first met online yet only 34 percent of parents were aware.

In the 14-17 year age group 62 percent were exposed to negative online content yet only 43 percent of their parents were aware.

This content included gory or violent material, drug taking, hate messages, self-harm, ways to take their own life and violent sexual images or videos, with eleven percent of 14-17 year olds being asked by someone online to send sexual images of themselves.

Information to help parents and teens is readily available but many don’t

know where to go to get help.

The campaign will assist parents and teens on where to go to find out how they can minimise their risk and what to do if inappropriate online contact, sexual abuse material or sextortion occurs.

The internet can create a range of safety challenges for children online.

Not everyone your child meets online is who they say they are.

As a parent there are signs you can watch for like your child becoming vague or secretive about what they’re doing online, becoming quieter or more withdrawn, avoiding their phone or other devices and seeming anxious when near them.

Communication and education are highly important when it comes to online predators.

From an early age you can let your child know if anyone asks for a photo of them without clothes on, they should tell you straight away so you can help them.

"Just as we put helmets on our kids to ride a bike, we need to keep them safe

when they go online – whether they’re watching videos, gaming, or on social networking apps,” eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said.

“This is especially true with virtual reality headsets and connected toys – which is why we have released an updated Tech Gift Guide this holiday season.

“The best way to prevent your child from being groomed is to be a regular, active participant in their online and offline lives.

“Set family rules together, including which devices and apps can be used, when and for how long.

“Ensure devices are used in open areas of the home, rather than in the bathroom or bedroom, so you’re generally aware of what they’re doing online.

“Most importantly, coplay and co-view, particularly through interactive online games with strangers.

“The vast majority of covert online grooming and sexual extortion our investigators see is happening behind closed doors, in what might be considered the ‘safety and sanctity’ of one’s home.”

Some of the red flags include suspicious accounts,

COFFS COAST News Of The Area

asking personal questions, inconsistencies in the profile or language used and starting sexualised chat.

Online safety is just another skill kids can learn and really need help from their parents to do it.

ACCCE and Human Exploitation Commander Helen Schneider said the holiday season was often very busy for parents and carers, and it was important to continue online safety conversations.

“With around 300 reports involving young people under 18 being received by the ACCCE each month, financial sextortion continues to be a significant safety threat for young people online,” Commander Schneider said.

“This initiative is about equipping parents and carers with the tools, resources and support so they are empowered to have these important discussions to help keep their children safer online.”

Commander of the NSWPF State Crime Command’s Sex Crimes Squad, Detective Superintendent Jayne Doherty, said parents can’t afford to ignore protecting their kids online.

“The internet is a place

where children can learn, socialise and play – and something that is always going to be a part of their lives – which is why parents can’t turn away from it.

“The best protection for your child is you as the parent,” Det Supt Doherty said.

“My advice to all parents is make sure you are educated and well-armed with resources available at places such as ‘ThinkUKnow’.

“I also recommend having regular open and honest conversations with your child about what they’re up to online.

“The best thing you can do is ensure they feel safe coming to you if they have questions or concerns about people they are engaging with.

“Sex Crimes Squad investigators spend every day online uncovering offenders who use the internet to groom children, and while we will not rest in the pursuit of any alleged sex offenders, we can’t fight this problem alone and need the help of parents.

“Together we can make sure our children are educated and protected against online threats, so they can safely use the internet for all the positive and meaningful things it affords our children.”

Clothes Swap Fundraiser to raise funds for outreach services

By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Harbour Neighbourhood Centre (CHNC) and Coffs Coast Volunteers have launched a new fundraiser to assist with goods and services for their clients in the local community.

The Clothes Swap Fundraiser event is on Wednesday 24 January and the volunteers now have their doors open for clothes donations.

This new fundraising initiative, the Clothes Swap Fundraiser, is the idea of Neighbourhood Centre staff member Lauren Mills.

“It’s an opportunity to raise funds for the CHNC’s outreach services,” Lauren told News Of The Area.

“The fundraiser combines recycling, reusing and reducing clothes waste with a love of fashion, finding treasure and getting rid of clothes that may be unworn and taking up space in your cupboard at home.

“At Coffs Neighbourhood Centre we are regularly asked if we accept donations of clothing and do not have the storage for a long-term offering but we see this as a great opportunity to harness the Coffs Coast community’s passion for second hand clothes shopping.”

The CHNC team is excited to introduce this fundraiser and has made it work so that everyone who donates can participate and get something for their kind donation and have fun doing it.

“The CHNC Clothes Swap Fundraiser will culminate with the big clothes swap on Wednesday 24 January with people predonating and purchasing tickets from now until 23 January,” said Lauren.

The idea is that people drop off five, quality, clean, adult-size clothing items up until the Tuesday before the event to the Volunteering office at Coffs Neighbourhood Centre, located in the Coffs Community Village on Earl Street.

Items can be dropped and tickets purchased between 9am – 4pm Monday to Friday.

When you drop off your items, you donate $25 using cash/card and you will receive five tickets.

You then use your tickets to exchange for clothes on 24 January at the Clothes Swap Fundraiser.

“On the morning of the Clothes Swap the donated items will be moved to the Cavanbah Centre ready for people to arrive at the hall with their tickets at 10am to discover items to exchange for their tickets.”

The hall will be set up and run by staff and volunteers from CHNC with Lifeline North Coast assisting on the day.

In the lead-up to its Christmas closure, CHNC saw increasing numbers of people coming in for essential support.

“The increased cost of living; including for accommodation, food, toiletries, utilities was exacerbated by additional Christmas shopping pressures.

“We received many donations and also engaged in some fundraising to support people with extra food and vouchers before Christmas but the need for support will continue in 2024 and with funds from the Clothes Swap event we are hoping to begin replenishing our essential support supplies which include pantry items, pet food and

users safe,” Wendy told News Of The Area.

“The Marine Rescue volunteers give their valuable time not only at Christmas but throughout the year and we value their support.”

Marine Rescue NSW, an independent not-for-profit organisation, relies on the fundraising efforts of volunteers, sponsorship, grants and donations to support the service.

Some financial support is also provided by the NSW Government and the boating community.

From Christmas Eve through to the end of January, Marine Rescue Nambucca members will patrol the local waterways on rescue watercraft and swimming areas around the Nambucca River bar.

From the Unit’s base on the Nambucca River, members will attend callouts for vessels or persons in distress on the water and cover not only the Nambucca River and beaches down to Scotts Head, but also the Bellinger and Kalang Rivers at Urunga.

“It costs up to $200 per week in fuel alone for our rescue watercraft and our 6.8m rescue vessel, so this generous donation will certainly help with that expense,” said Mr Nichols.

“We are currently raising funds to replace our rescue watercraft which are reaching the end of their working life.

“It’s essential that we keep our equipment up-to-date and our members also train continuously in order to provide the most upto-date rescue services.”

Marine Rescue Nambucca has been out and about promoting its safety message: if you are boating, make sure everyone on board is wearing life-jackets, check the weather and swell conditions before going out, don’t cross the bar on an ebb tide.

Boaters are recommended to log on to the Marine Rescue App so their safe return can be monitored.

Gypsy Art Group display work at Botanic Garden

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE North Coast Botanic Garden in Coffs Harbour is looking wonderful following recent rain; the perfect place to wander and relax.

The gardens are also the place to view the Gypsy Art Group Summer Exhibition, chat to artists and participate in free hands-on workshops.

Gypsy Art Group members have been busy using their creative talents to prepare a range of artworks for their Summer Exhibition.

Group member Kerrie

Stewart creates art through ‘eco printing’.

The process uses collected foliage layered on any natural fibre, including paper, silk and cotton.

The shapes created are either steamed or simmered in eucalyptus liquid.

Tannin in the eucalyptus combines with chemicals in the foliage to dye shapes on the material.

“The finished products can be used as wearables, or to create cards or artworks,” Ms Stewart said.

She will be demonstrating eco printing on paper on Saturday, January 13 at 11am.

Other workshops include gelli printing with Faye Sharples on Sunday and concertina books with Sharron Arnold on Monday.

The Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday workshops are, respectively, travel journals with Ann Sheppard, cards (sketched and stamped) with Lyn Yeadon and wrapping paper with Faye Sharples.

The Gypsy Art Group welcomes new members of any skill level to its fortnightly meeting at the Boambee Community Centre, from 9am to 1 pm.

The cost is $10 per session, with no joining fee.

Christmas Lunch 4U success

By Andrea FERRARI

A HEARTWARMING success, the Coffs Christmas Lunch 4 U (rebadged from the Orphans Christmas Lunch) welcomed around 150 community members to a free lunch at Cavanbah Centre on Christmas Day. The purpose of the lunch is to provide a meal and a sense of Christmas cheer for those who are doing it tough, alone, or in need of some community connection.

Speaking on behalf of the organising committee, Ange Anderson told News Of The Area, “As we know, for some community members Christmas can be a challenging time, and the lunch provides an outlet.”

The guests were greeted with a sausage sandwich and a glass of punch on arrival late-morning.

This was followed by a buffet lunch with an array of pork, ham and chicken and an abundance of salads and condiments.

Desserts, tea and coffee and non-alcoholic drinks completed the feast.

“Everyone was feeling blessed to be provided with a hearty lunch.”

Adding to the festivities there was a raffle with prizes on the day.

“A lovely lady called Margaret had provided two handmade Christmas quilts to be offered as lucky door prizes, plus we had food gift vouchers and Christmas

Marie and Linton Reid provided the entertainment, serenading the crowd with a mixture of Christmas carols.

“Santa, aka Mick, came along to say hello and be part of some photoshoots with guests.

“John, a guest, turned 90 on the day so it was fabulous for everyone to sing Happy Birthday and make it special for him,” said Ange.

Organising committee members Nick Newling and Lindsay Hansen were integral to the event.

“They managed all the meal preparation and guests were ‘blessed with the best’ with them in the kitchen.

“Nick and Lindsay’s family members also contributed in many ways from kitchen help to any jobs thrown their way.”

provided to those who hadn’t registered, as we didn’t want anyone to not receive a meal on the day.

“The meals didn’t stop there, and post-event donations were provided to the Soup Kitchen, the Lions Club Boxing Day BBQ and Pete’s Place; this ensured all surplus produce could provide meals for days to come.”

Ange, Lindsay and Nick were overwhelmed with the support.

They especially wish to make a thank-you mention to Community Care Options, City of Coffs Harbour, C.ex Coffs, SpareChef, Big Country Meats, Plantation and Pier Hotels, Faircloth and Reynolds, Bananacoast

Hotbake, Woolworths (Toormina and Park Avenue) – some of which are longtime supporters.

“To be honest, there are too many to mention, but we appreciate every single sponsor, who came on board to enable the event to run,” Ange said.

“It is a lot of work to organise the event but knowing that we may have made a difference in some small way to people’s lives, even for one day, it is worth all the effort.

“2024 is a new year, and we wish all Coffs region community members a very Happy Year, and we hope the kindness and generosity continue for those most in need,” she said.

“I’ll be on one table to answer gardeners’ and would-be gardeners’ questions.”

On another table, club treasurer Robyne Moulds will present a display on native bees.

“There will of course be a nice morning tea with cakes and slices,” said Mary.

If gardening is growing on you, here’s some seeds of wisdom

By Andrea FERRARI

GROWING green fingered as you head into 2024?

Park Plaza resident Peter Lewis, President of the Coffs Regional Community Gardens Association, told News Of The Area his main goal for the beginning of 2024 at the Combine Street community garden is “to work on design elements of the entire garden to reinstate permaculture principles”.

“Ideas include creating public access outside the fenced garden, ways to incorporate local community food waste into the creation of valuable compost, a food excess swapping stall, a public accessible food forest and ways to engage kids and adults in healthy fruit harvesting,” he told News Of The Area.

With his own flourishing

garden in the city, he is a passionate promulgator of pearls of wisdom for gardeners of any level.

Here Peter shares some lived-experience ideas to encourage a fruitful relationship with your yard.

“Remember, it’s your garden.

"Put in food you like to eat, things that grow well in your area.

“You can’t modify the aspect but can put raised beds onto swampy ground or build beds up on clay or rocky subsoils.”

If you have a shady south facing side, investigate what grows there, such as coffee or Davidson plums, he suggests.

“Can you grow something that eventually gets above the shade like a tall banana or an avocado?”

Peter recommends you Google the height of plants

and incorporate ‘stacking’ so that northern trees let light into taller southern trees.

“Use the special features of deciduous trees that let light in in winter but crest shade in summer.

“Use trellises and fastgrowing nursery trees to protect plants that prefer part shade.

“A trellis with a grapevine can provide shade in summer to sit and read a book or sunshine in winter.”

Other elements are how you make compost that is the food replacement for all the crops you harvest.

“Have you got space for a worm tub, or chooks or a seaweed brew barrel?”

Most garden problems can be solved by just adding more compost, Peter reckons.

“Expand your design by knowing where fruiting street trees are.

year, donate to a cause at this time of the year.

“They knew that our Lions Club had started feeding the hungry on the public holidays and decided this was the cause they would donate to this year,” she said.

Both BBQs took place in Rotary Park, Coffs Harbour.

Bacon and egg rolls, sausages and onions, cakes, muffins, chocolates, fruit, shortbread and many other goodies were consumed.

“We wanted to make the day a bit more special and have a bag of goodies for all who attended the BBQ. “After much discussion at our meetings on how to present the goodies, our member Teng thought that

she could sew 40 bags, these can be reused by the homeless as a useful bag – it’s not plastic and wouldn’t just get thrown away.”

Lion members donated nonperishable food items including chips, tiny teddies, noodles, tuna and biscuits, popper juices, sultanas, chocolates, shapes, famous Lions mints, and more.

Reuseable aluminium bottles of water for everyone were kindly donated by a local company and the fresh fruit was donated by a neighbour.

With rain pouring in Coffs on New Year’s Eve, Lions’ New Years Day BBQ was cancelled, along with several other events.

“But when we thought it over early on New Year’s Day morning, we decided that rain does not stop

COFFS COAST News Of The Area q Mia Devine helps find north during a garden design project.

“My grandkids know where the midgen berries and Lillypillys grow in Coffs Harbour and when they’re fruiting.

“They know where wild raspberries and strawberry guavas are growing.

“Notice feral bush lemons or places that a Davidson plum might grow.”

Peter advocates for joining community gardens to plant varieties of trees that may be too big or slow-growing for your home yard.

“The three ethics of permaculture are ‘fair share’, ‘people care’ and ‘earth care’, which work with community gardens.”

Various courses, free and paid-for, are available at the Coffs Regional Community Gardens.

Feeding the hungry on public holidays

CATERING to the homeless and hungry had Coffs Harbour Lions Club members sizzling up a storm on the BBQ on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. “Boxing day is a family day for most people and a recovery from Christmas Day, however in our community we have many people who don’t have this privilege,” Lion Rosemary Hansen told News Of The Area.

The food and drinks for both public holiday BBQs were bought with money donated by the siblings of one of the Lions Club members who live all over Australia and who, every

“We set up in the light rain and began to cook, and there were people waiting in the park already.”

Once again, the bacon and egg rolls were a real hit along with other treats

including shortbread, cakes, chocolates, fruit.

It is very rewarding to help people, said Rosemary.

“It makes you feel so good when someone comes to you and says they have not eaten since Friday, and can they have seconds.

“Everyone is so grateful, and they have such good manners.”

Same But Different - that’s art

By Andrea FERRARI

THREE talented artists with three very different creative styles have forged a fruitful friendship that sees the trio exhibiting together.

Noella Chelman, Beth Kelly and Robyn Lawrence’s upcoming show, entitled ‘Same But Different’, can be seen at the Nexus Community Gallery in the Old Butter Factory, Bellingen, opening on Sunday 14 January and running until Friday 9 February in the Main Gallery.

“While we are of similar ages we have completely different artistic styles, hence the name of our exhibition, ‘Same But Different’,” Robyn told News Of The Area.

Noella and Robyn live in the Coffs area and Beth, originally from country NSW and currently living in Tasmania, will be in Bello for the opening event on Sunday.

The exhibition includes paintings, opal jewellery, hand-made books, unique pet rock art, original greeting cards plus art journals of the artists’ travels together.

Beth cites her beautiful garden and surrounding areas as her biggest

inspiration for the birds and florals she loves to paint.

Covid lockdown unexpectedly found her in New Zealand for six months.

She spent that time developing her quirky Australian animal greeting cards, which have found a delighted following.

Watercolours and acrylics are her medium of choice,

but Beth is equally at home with all mediums including collage and mixed media.

Noella is described by fellow artists as a force of nature with a very original take on all things around her.

Her love of the coast often weaves its way into her work.

A mixed media artist, her art is a kaleidoscope of colour bursting with life and

Noella is also a selftaught silversmith.

Working with boulder opal from the Winton area where she and her husband have an opal mine, she has worked her magic and developed a growing

collection of original opal jewellery rings and pendants.

Robyn has been an artist most of her life.

Lettering, calligraphy and later a successful graphic design business has given her a well-rounded career.

Coming back to her first

love of painting she takes her audience through coastal and outback scenes of her travels around Australia.

Her hand-made books and Dragon Alphabet greeting cards will also be showing at the exhibition.

“The outback will feature in our exhibition as we share experiences of our recent outback travels,” she said.

In 2022 the three friends undertook a travelling holiday in two small campervans.

They set out towards the opal fields beyond Winton in South Western Queensland for the annual three-day Winton Opal Festival, where they displayed and sold Noella’s opal jewellery and Beth and Robyn’s unique greeting cards. They then travelled south to the opal fields of Opalton for three weeks fossicking before heading off to Yowah, closer to the QLD/NSW border, for the Yowah Opal Festival.

The last stop was Lightning Ridge for a week and another opal festival.

It has all been an influence on the artists’ work for their ‘Same But Different’ exhibition.

Judge adopts creative approach JANE’S mother passes-away leaving an estate worth $3 million.

Under the will, Jane only receives some of her mother’s jewellery and a gift of $50,000.

The rest of the estate is shared amongst her siblings.

At the time of executing her will, Jane’s mother also made a statutory declaration stating that she considered the terms of her will in great detail and that the provision that Jane receives under the will was relatively small because she had been estranged from Jane for approximately ten years and during that time Jane had provided no support to her during her declining health and had deprived her of the relationship with her grandchildren.

Jane contests her mother’s will on the basis that she believes that she has not received “proper and adequate” provision.

Following the failure of a Courtordered mediation, a seven-day trial ensues.

The Court hears that Jane’s brother, who receives most of the estate, worked on the family farm during the whole of his lifetime and provided substantial contributions to the estate and his mother’s welfare.

The Court also hears that Jane has accrued substantial debts.

She has no assets of any significant value and her sole source of income is a Centrelink pension.

The Court states that Jane’s estrangement from her mother is relevant but does not prevent the Court making an order in her favour.

Ultimately, the Court awards Jane the sum of $700,000, in light of her financial needs.

The Court also orders that Jane’s award is to be paid into a “discretionary trust”.

The trust is to be administered by Jane’s lawyer and her accountant and whilst Jane is the primary beneficiary, with a view to protecting the funds against creditors, the trustees are technically empowered to distribute funds to her children if it is not in Jane’s interests to make distributions directly to her.

DEAR Jasminda,

I often start the New Year by goal setting, only to realise by February that I've failed.

How can I achieve some goals that I can actually keep?

Fiona W.

2023 in review with NOTA history columnist Karen Filewood

By Karen FILEWOOD WHILE 2023 began with a focus on Coffs Harbour’s foreshore, climate, costs of living and increasing debate on the referendum in a year that sometimes felt as if it had more downs than ups, the ‘Times Gone By’ column stepped into the past to start the year by focusing on the area’s maritime history.

The year began with a narrative inspired by the 130th anniversary of the wreck of the ss Belmore on the jetty beach and its attempted salvage.

In October 2023, one of Coffs Harbour’s earliest shipwrecks was investigated with the wreck of the schooner Beaver and the rescue of the crew in 1851 from one of the Solitary Islands.

Then, in December, we discovered the Solitary Islands’ ties to Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton’s missing ice ship Aurora after its disappearance between Australia and America in 1917.

From February to June a marathon mini-

series of articles kept us on the edge of our seats during an in-depth look at how the 1919 flu pandemic and its associated government regulations affected the population of Coffs Harbour and its regions.

This journey into afflictions continued during Halloween with an investigation into the strange disappearance of Woolgoolga man, Malcolm Martin and the particularly spine-chilling and quite gruesome discovery of his remains.

On a lighter note, the history and location of Tommy Albert’s Orange Trees and Dark’s corner, the location of the Dark family’s store, was recounted to familiarise ourselves with local place names which will not be found on any map. Another article examined gift-giving through the donation of land to establish Bonville’s Anglican Church of the Holy Faith and the church’s gift of a family bible to the couple who were first to marry in the new building.

As ever, ‘Times Gone By’ will continue to take you on a journey of discovery into the region’s past, including all things good, bad and plain ugly while aiming to entertain, delight and keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the upcoming year.

Dear Fiona, Happy New Year.

AS we ease into another year, tenderly patting expanded waistlines created by batches of rum balls and espresso martinis, marvelling at the exhaustion that sitting around doing nothing achieves, gazing at the Christmas tree that has to be repacked and hoisted up to the mezzanine for another year, it can be easy to feel the weight of expectation.

My advice, therefore, is to aim low.

Instead of setting the bar for the stars, settle for the limbo.

Here are some starters for you: Clean the fridge by eating your way through the leftovers.

Don't take up running. Have you ever seen a happy runner?

Live an intentioned/comfortable life i.e. dress in activewear.

Travel – even if it's only in your mind through books.

Work towards mediocrity.

You'll definitely get there.

Anything else is a bonus.

Remove toxic people from your life and replace them with a dog.

You'll be infinitely happier (as will the dog).

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

COP28 – Environmental Politics DEAR News Of The Area,

WELL the hottest global summer on record is hanging over us and COP28 participants have had their talk-fest in the UAE discussing what we are going to do to keep rising global temps within 1.5 degrees.

While each major Conference of the Parties on Climate Change Policy has its own major breakthroughs or failures, this one must go down as one for the fossil fuel industry actually acknowledging it needs to transition.

Host nation UAE made it clear from the start they were going to drive the agenda with global industry players on all sides stepping up and revealing who the real puppeteers are in this pantomime.

There is both anecdotal and archival evidence that the Board of ExxonMobil,

16 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

one of the world’s oldest, largest and most influential fossil fuel companies and direct descendent of J.D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, understood and accepted the science of climate change, as well as the implications of continuing burning fossil fuels, back in the 1960s when predictions were already being exceeded.

Sadly, what started out as a deliberate corporate decision to ‘stonewall’ in favour of the industry’s long term future became a global strategy in the promotion and dissemination of ‘disinformation’ to discredit the science and delay the necessary inevitable transition to alternative appropriate technologies.

As consumers we have arguably been both players and beneficiaries in this delay, but it’s worth acknowledging our own ‘puppeteers’ in Australia.

The mining and fossil fuel industry

media@newsofthearea.com.au

backed Institute of Public Affairs along with the Minerals Council, and Murdoch’s right wing media network, working through successive Liberal - National Party Coalition governments have deliberately stalled the transition process which has seen us lose at least a decade.

Remember former PM Abbott bagging wind turbines in 2015 and PM Scomo bagging EVs during Covid.

Sadly, we are all shareholders in this debacle and any early dividends have long ago vaporized as we try to catch up globally. History will judge whether that is even possible.

OPINION & LETTERS

A fitting tribute for a great man DEAR News Of The Area, THANK you Colin McEntyre for your tribute to Garry Nehl.

There is insufficient room in this newspaper to list Garry's achievements and parliamentary positions but as our local member back in the eighties and nineties he smoothed many a path for the citizens of Coffs Harbour.

As a member of the House of Representatives he caused a ripple of pride in the community (smaller then) when he became the deputy Speaker in 1996, holding this position until 2001, and Mr McEntyre quite rightly points out Garry's crucial role

in bringing the urgent need for a bypass before then Prime Minister Bob Hawke after the shocking bus crash in Cowper in 1989.

Less known are the achievements of the National Marine Science Centre, a modest building in Korora and part of the faculty of Science and Engineering of Southern Cross University where staff recently took three out of four teaching awards for work on the oceans and local waterways with students of Marine Science.

Work goes on in research, courses, study tours, work experience and voluntary programs thanks to the efforts of this man.

On retirement Garry continued to serve his community and I came to know him

DEAR News Of The Area,

MY elderly neighbours, who delight in gardening and supplying others with excess fruit and veggies that they grow, had eighteen of their newly planted hedging plants stolen last week. They had worked so hard to get these little plants in and it when we both served on the board of the Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium, he as president, I as lowly staff rep.

He departed this life last year as modestly as he had lived, no fuss.

Naming the bypass after Garry Nehl would be eminently fitting.

was looking so lovely when some scumbag decided they would steal some.

What a disgusting act.

It costs money to buy plants and for a pensioner it’s very hard when someone decides they can have them for nothing.

Climate will change under natural influences DEAR News Of The Area,

WARREN Tindall cites headlines of the past 40 years as "proofs" of an all-encompassing climate change disaster (NOTA 29/12/23).

Without further information I assume he is referring to reports of extreme weather events. If that is what he is indeed referring to, that does not constitute proof.

There have always been extreme weather events and always will be.

Is his idea of proof any event that is

reported in the papers?

As much as he may wish it to be, climate is not static but is dynamic and will change under natural influences.

The rocks and ice of this planet contain evidence of millions of years of climate change. That being the case, where does he draw the line on what he believes should be the "normal" climate?

For instance, should it be the climate during the most recent major climate change event, "the Little Ice Age" (1300-

1850), when average temperatures were much colder than today?

Should it be the climate during the Medieval Warm Period when temperatures were warmer than today?

Or do we just accept the climate of the last 100 years to be the norm forever?

Mr Tindall draws a long bow when he goes on to suggest that it is illiterate people who don't believe in CO2 induced climate change.

I would have thought the opposite to

be true, that illiterate persons would more readily accept what they are told, for they would lack the ability to verify the veracity of what they are told.

Whereas, a person who read copiously on the subject of climate change, would come to the same conclusion as myself, that CO2 induced climate change is a fallacy.

Regards, Wayne DUESBURY, Boambee.

Cancellation of Australia Day citizenship ceremony is un-Australian DEAR News Of The Area,

IT has been revealed in the media that the City of Coffs Harbour is one of 81 councils (four last year!) across NSW to refuse to conduct Australian citizenship ceremonies and certificates on Australia Day 2024!

This act of perfidious, anti-Australian wokeness is a dual insult by the council of Coffs Harbour - kept very quiet - to all Australians and to those who have chosen

a better life in Australia, have completed the process of application to become an Australian Citizen, and been approved and accepted for Australian citizenship!

If the incumbent council refuses to welcome new citizens, then I am sure other patriotic Australians will guarantee that these new Australians will be welcomed by patriotic Australians, including members of the Veteran community and possibly, serving members of the ADF.

I am a Vietnam Veteran and I am disgusted by this council’s un-Australian policy in the nation where my ancestors served in two world wars overseas to secure peace for our nation and for those we served to defend!

I ask, in the wake of the woke council, that Australian patriots, veterans and ADF personnel work together in the next few days to secure a venue (possibly an RSL Club) for the presentation and welcoming

New research shows Australians choosing their family NEWS

AUSTRALIANS have a wide range of views when it comes to defining their family, with many younger people saying love and unconditional support is more important than genetics and legal ties, according to new research by the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS).

The survey of almost 6,000 people revealed 41 percent of Australians consider close friends or ‘chosen family’ to be part of their family, and 52 percent count their pets as family members.

While 62 percent of those of the Interwar Generation (born before 1946) said blood or genetics were important or very important in defining a family, this dropped through the generations to only 24 percent of Gen Zs. The study also revealed gender differences, with women much more likely than men to include chosen family or close friends when they think about family (43

percent vs 31 percent), and to consider pets as family (54 percent vs 38 percent).

Women were also significantly more likely to rate unconditional, non-judgemental support as very important when defining what makes a family compared to men (69 percent vs 52 percent).

Study co-author and Research Fellow at AIFS, Dr Luke Gahan, said the research has implications for law and policymakers, as definitions of family change and evolve.

“For many people family is still a rigid institution underpinned by genetics and legal ties – however, there is an increasing diversity of views on what it means to be a family,” Dr Gahan said.

“This study shows relationships defined by love and individual choice are coming to the fore when it comes to notions of family – throwing up challenges for law and policymakers, as they try to meet the needs of a changing society.”

Dr Gahan said, for example, that pets increasingly being considered family could

impact the way couples separate.

“By law pets are currently considered ‘property’ – but perhaps, given how many of us feel about our pets, something closer to a custody arrangement is more appropriate,” Dr Gahan said.

“Also, many people considering close friends as family could influence how employment law defines ‘immediate family’ in terms of leave provisions, when a family member requires care.”

Study co-author and Senior Research Officer at AIFS, Mikayla Budinski, said the study also highlights the diversity of views on what makes a family in Australia – and how that may evolve over time.

“How Australians decide who is included in their kinship circles is influenced by legal definitions but is also shaped by culture and personal life experiences and circumstances – so we’re seeing a great breadth of views,” Miss Budinski said.

“For example, cultural and linguistic diverse minority Australians rate legal and blood ties as important when defining family – however LGBTQ+ people were far less likely to rate them as important.”

I am sure that all patriotic Australians and the new Australians in our wonderful part of our nation will remember this event at the next election.

Advance Australia!

I can be contacted for the purpose of organising the Citizenship Ceremony for Coffs Harbour at peterblack45@gmail.com.

Thank you!

Peter BLACK, Toormina.

The study also found that culturally and linguistically diverse people were significantly more likely to view legal ties or obligations as important or very important when defining family compared to other study participants (41 percent vs 30 percent) – and the same with blood/genetics (43 percent vs 34 percent).

LGBTQ+ people were almost twice as likely to rate blood or genetics as not important at all in defining a family compared to other study participants (32 percent vs 17 percent).

Almost half (48 percent) of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people rated ‘legal ties or obligations’ as important or very important compared to just 30 percent of non-Indigenous study participants.

Conducted in late 2021, the Families in Australia Survey series aimed to better understand family relationships, connections and support, and the things that Australian families do together or within their communities, such as work and study.

The survey was open to all Australians aged 18 years and over.

AIFS conducts original research to increase understanding of Australian families and the issues that affect them.

Date set for Ocean Swims

By Andrea FERRARI

THE COFFS Coast Ocean Swims have been scheduled to take place on Sunday 7 April at the Jetty in Coffs Harbour.

“In setting the date there were a number of things to consider,” Race Director Kerry Bayliss from Sawtell Surf Lifesaving Club told News Of The Area.

“It had to be in term time to accommodate long-time supporter, The Armidale School (TAS), which enters 100-plus students, many of whom go home in the holidays.

“Also, not to clash with yacht races Sydney to Coffs and not to clash with winter sports.”

And then there’s the Surf Lifesaving carnivals.

“Last year our swim clashed with Surf Lifesaving Aussie Champs, however they were in Perth so it was not a big impact but something to consider, especially when it’s in Surfers Paradise as many people travel as spectators.”

Avoiding Easter, Kerry stuck the pin in the diary on Sunday 7 April.

“This lands on the end of daylight savings, so the hour goes back and we have an extra hour to prepare for the

morning event,” he said.

Brooke Hanson OAM, an Olympic Games gold and silver medallist, returns for her tenth year as Coffs Coast Ocean Swims Ambassador.

Brooke is an outstanding and enthusiastic participant in the ocean swims in and out of the water.

“Brooke will enter as a

complained.

“I think this is amazing and says great things about the swimmers.

“Although few can be in the top ten, most are very interested in their actual time.

“Athletes are ‘strange’ people,” he said, laughing.

“In the 2023 swim we

Taking learnings from last year’s swim, Kerry said, “During the 2023 swim, 50 of the timing tags did not make it back to shore, i.e. the straps broke.

“Very few of the swimmers involved

had an elite group but very few swimmers entered themselves into this group.”

The result was that the elite winner on the day won by only a few seconds from a swimmer in the open division.

“We will not have an elite group this year.

“The closeness of the

finishing times and the loss of tags has caused us to employ a Sydney-based company – The Timing Guys

- to manage the timing.”

There are three swims: 300m for 8-13-years-old, 600m for 10-years-old and

challenges in rural areas.

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

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

They use Medicare up to 50 percent less than those in cities, indicating that people rather not go through the

difficult process of a long journey and long waiting time to access health care.

As a result, the burden of disease in remote areas is 1.4 times that of major cities.

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

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

reported that two in five urban workers would relocate to a RRR area if a financial incentive was involved.

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

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

“What we are seeking

is the introduction of a HELP debt reduction and indexation relief initiative.

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

“The scheme would also waive indexation on a practitioner’s HELP debt during that time.

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

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

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

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

This statistic, along with demographic information, health risk factors, health outcomes, burden of disease,

mortality and morbidity and health service funding and access, are some of the data provided in the National Rural Health Alliance Rural Health in Australia Snapshot 2023.

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

“The statistics show that the further you are from an urban setting, the more likely you may die of disease due to various factors, including

the tyranny of distance and workforce shortages,” said Alliance Chief Executive Susi Tegen.

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

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

above, and 2km for ages 14-years-old and above.

Entries are open now at www.oceanswims.com.

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

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

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

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

“About a third of the Australian population lives outside of our capital cities,” Law Council of Australia President, Mr Luke Murphy

Friday, 12 January 2024

said.

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

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

“It can be very difficult for them to access timely legal assistance on issues ranging from criminal law matters, family law, child protection, tenancy matters, social security matters, credit and debt, and wills and estates.

“In addition, shortages of

private legal practitioners in RRR areas limits availability of legal aid and pro bono assistance in these locations.

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

“There remains an urgent need for increased availability of in-person legal services in RRR areas.”

Earlier this year, the Regional Australia Institute

Australia.

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

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

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

AFL North Coast juniors selected to Swans Academy’s Top End Program

“This is a tremendous result for the AFL North Coast, easily the most players selected to be part of the Top End program,” he said.

“If you also take into account the

fact that there are an additional 37 AFL North Coast junior players who have been picked in the Academy’s Youth Programs for players aged from Under 11 to Under 15, it shows that the number of very talented juniors in the region is growing.”

“A lot of effort from many people went into making this season’s Super Dirt Series possible, especially from the event’s main sponsor McLennan Earthmoving, and it was a great weekend overall,” expressed a jubilant Corbett.

“It was quite a tough feature race, and it was unfortunate what happened to Seiton (Connor Young) out in front, as he was doing a solid job all weekend, but at the same time, I’m glad that I was able to be in a position to benefit and go on and take out the win.”

For his winning efforts, Corbett took home the biggest ever payday in a V8 Dirt Modifieds event in Australia, pocketing $5250 for finishing first.

WEDNESDAY

TEN, 7.30pm

SBS, 9.30pm

With a walloping punch of nostalgia and a keen fondness for scenes involving super-fit folks running around in campy, tight leotards with hair that’s been sprayed and preened to an inch of its life, there’s an unmistakably over-the-top and fun vibe for this revamped take on the classic ’90s show.

Before you file it under “all a bit too much”, this competition is weighted down by the presence of expert, sports-mad hosts: former champion netballer Liz Ellis and former NRL player Beau Ryan. Kicking off around the same time as its British counterpart, the action sees everyday Aussies take on the in-house gladiators in a series of iconic events. Brace yourself for this theatrical show of strength.

A high-octane, headsplattering turn from Ted Lasso’s Juno Temple as wideeyed, doll-like housewife Dot – who knows her shotguns from her machine guns – has propelled this mysterious season. The allure of Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, with piercings, a deadly sense of loyalty and a freewheeling take on the law, has only added to the weird intrigue.

This arresting mix of characters, including Jennifer Jason Leigh as a pouty, well-heeled mother-in-law to be reckoned with, is the bread and butter of Noah Hawley’s eccentric murder-stained thriller.

In tonight’s season finale, Dot prepares biscuits amid her fight for survival. Tune in to find out how this cookie crumbles.

FRIDAY

THE SCOTTISH ISLAND THAT WON THE LOTTERY

SBS, 7.30pm

In this feel-good doco, we find out how a tiny community deals with winning a fortune. The hardworking, selfsufficient people of North Uist, numbering around 1500, lead a simple, contented life. When 101 islanders won a share in a £3 million (almost A$6 million) lottery windfall, the difficult bit was working out what they should probably spend it on. This isn’t a rags to riches or decadent consumerism tale, but rather a heartwarming peek at a community, which is already pretty happy with their lot, but a breadmaker or a mobile phone might be nice.
