Gumbaynggirr Giingana Freedom School Ready To Go

By Andrew VIVIAN

the revitalisation of Gumbaynggirr language and culture, and secondly, it is of the utmost importance that our children can attend a school that holds their culture in the highest regard, ensuring they feel culturally safe on a daily basis,” he said.

“It is also amazing to open our school to commence the international decade of Indigenous languages and hence assert the UN declared human rights to educate our children in the way we see fit and revitalise our language and culture.”

The Gumbaynggirr Giingana Freedom School will be located at Coffs Harbour TAFE’s Glenreagh Street Campus and will initially cater for K- 2 students.

It will begin with approximately 15 children in its first year, eventually growing to K-6.

THE Gumbaynggirr community is celebrating the registration of the first bilingual Aboriginal school, the Gumbaynggirr Giingana Freedom School.

The Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation (BMNAC) is excited by the announcement by the NSW Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning, The Hon. Sarah Mitchell, MLC that the Gumbaynggirr Giingana Freedom School (GGFS) has achieved initial registration as an independent school under the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), to open February 2022.

Clark Webb, Chief Executive Officer of BMNAC said, “This school is important on a number of levels.

“Firstly, it is key to

The GGFS has a focus on Gumbaynggirr language and culture, quality teaching based on Gumbaynggirr values and philosophies, and strong community and parent engagement.

The school will be the first bilingual School of an Aboriginal language in NSW and is committed to striving for academic excellence among all students by developing and implementing innovative practices.

Staff will include a principal, a classroom teacher and two Gumbaynggirr language teachers (nonteacher trained) and will be supported by the BMNAC Board, Executive Management team and staff group.

BMNAC is also excited to announce the appointment of Ms Tahnee Philp as the school’s first teacher.

BMNAC is a not-for-profit that was established in 2010 in Coffs Harbour on the north coast of NSW. BMNAC’s footprint extends to the Nambucca Valley in the south and Grafton in the north and engages more than 500 people in cultural and educational programs annually.

q BMNAC Board members (L to R) Clark Webb, Nathan Brennan and Julie Carey are excited about their school’s accreditation.

BMNAC began with the introduction of two after school Goori Learning Centres (GLCs) at Wongala Estate Aboriginal Reserve and Woolgoolga High School.

The purpose of the GLCs was for Aboriginal students to engage in culture through Gumbaynggirr language and cultural lessons and improve

Fruit Pickers To Get Minimum Wage

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Fair Work Commission has recently made a ruling about wages that has ramifications for the Coffs Coast.

Workers picking fruit on a piece rate must be guaranteed a minimum wage under the Horticulture Award.

The Australian Workers Union argued that every worker should be guaranteed a minimum casual rate, currently $25.41 per hour while the National Farmers Federation claimed that the existing piecework system encourages workers to be more productive.

Piece work rates are difficult to establish, but the McKell Institute report entitled ‘Blue Harvest’ into the blueberry industry on the Coffs Coast claims that workers can be paid as little as $3 per hour.

The report also found that some migrant workers were being charged exorbitant fees for accommodation and the that the practices of labour hire firms warranted scrutiny.

The Fair Work Commission's full bench found existing pieceworker provisions

“do not provide a fair and relevant minimum safety net as required by … the Act”.

The commission found that there was widespread non-compliance by growers or labour hire companies.

This was echoed by the Blue Harvest report that found that piecework rates were low when fruit was easy to pick and higher when it was difficult.

The National Farmers Federation has come out strongly against the ruling, accusing the Australian Workers Union of smearing all farmers and saying that the ruling is not in the national interest.

Berries Australia Chair Peter McPherson warned that the ruling is likely to impact productivity and costs, but agreed that workers should be paid what they are legally entitled to.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh agreed, saying that all businesses should be paying their employees correctly according to the relevant awards.

Mr McPherson said that for the ruling to be effective, the Federal Government needs to implement a national scheme to monitor labour hire firms.

Opponents will have an opportunity to appeal the ruling before the end of the year.

“We also want to elevate the importance of arts and culture in society; we believe that society is strengthened by creativity and artistic endeavour.”

Greens Release Affordable Housing Plan

By Andrew VIVIAN

AFFORDABLE housing is a pressing issue on the Coffs coast and the Coffs Harbour Greens have released a proposal to assist with the local homelessness and housing crisis.

The Greens acknowledge the difficulty and complexity of the housing situation but say there is an urgent need for leadership at the local level.

Coffs Harbour Greens candidate in the upcoming council elections, Timothy Nott, said, “With housing prices on the Coffs Coast

increasing by 22.7% since March 2020, our community faces several immediate and longer-term challenges.

“Our strategy focuses on a 3-step plan and includes real affordable housing solutions that aims to prevent long term homelessness.”

The Coffs Harbour Greens Housing Strategy takes a range of issues into account, including planning to get homeless people into longer term housing as soon as possible.

Other issues are public housing resourcing and the impact of climate change on

homelessness and the wider community.

The Greens say their policies are underpinned by fairness and equity and that housing costs are a major driver in increasing the wealth gap and community discontent.

Mr Nott said, “We want more affordable homes to rent and buy, such as smaller sites, community titles, and a granny flat expansion program.

“We believe the impacts of the changing climate on housing have been seriously underestimated and we are becoming less able to protect jobs and home ownership.

“We expect the Hospital,

town centre, Park Beach shopping precinct, industrial land, roads, train line and the airport to all be impacted by future flooding and coastal inundation,” he continued.

The Greens’ plan considers that Coffs Harbour’s CBD requires ongoing resilience planning to mitigate extreme weather.

Mr Nott said, “The question we’re asking is what will Coffs be like in 100 years and why are Council continuing to approve development, seemingly without regard to the evidence?”

“The best thing we can do is plan and prepare to protect the most vulnerable,” he said.

q Greens candidate Tony Nott wants Council to improve its role in housing.

Teachers Rally Against Staff Shortages

By Andrew VIVIAN

TEACHERS gathered near the office of the Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh on Wednesday November 10.

They were protesting about demands on teachers and staff shortages as part of the NSW Teachers Federation ‘More Than Thanks’ campaign.

NSW Teachers Federation President Angelo Gavrielatos attended the rally and said that a confidential Department of Education briefing says, ‘The demands and expectations on teachers are increasing while the current rewards, pathways and learning opportunities are not providing enough incentive’.

‘On average teacher pay has been falling relative to pay in other professions since the late 1980s and this makes it a less attractive profession for high achieving students.’

every year their pay has fallen in comparison to other professions.

“The shortages are proof that if we don’t pay teachers what they are worth, we don’t get the teachers we need,” he said.

The Federation says that Department of Education documents warn the shortages are so bad that NSW could run out of teachers within five years.

It says that figures show that a higher proportion of vacant positions are in country areas, that teachers in country areas are far more likely to be teaching outside their subject area of expertise and vacant positions were taking on average up to four months to fill.

Mr Gavrielatos said country children were bearing the brunt of the shortages and that the supply strategy the government was relying on was just a brochure with initiatives that had either failed before or were not supported by evidence

“Every parent in country NSW wants to be reassured that in every classroom there will be a teacher with the time and resources to meet their child’s needs,” he said.

In response, a spokesperson for Education NSW told News Of The Area that schools regularly have vacancies for permanent positions and these positions are normally filled by temporary teachers

Alan Walter never forgets the Diggers’ sacrifices

By Andrea FERRARI

ALAN Walter was born in Coffs Harbour and raised at Mount Browne, went to Coffs Harbour High School and started a plumbing apprenticeship locally, straight out of school.

At twenty years old in 1967 he was conscripted and joined the 8RAR - Royal Australian Regiment.

“I went to Malaya…as they called it, now Malaysia, and when I returned in 1969, I signed up for another twelve months, this time going to Vietnam,” Alan told News Of The Area.

“Armistice Day is a reflection, for me, on what the Diggers did back in Gallipoli that really made Australia.

“We really need to remember this every day, not just on one day… especially the younger generation, they need to know about it and think about it,” said Alan.

“We need to remind them of the sacrifices at Gallipoli in the First World War and all the conflicts since.

“Lest We Forget – the friends we’ve lost and afterwards, the things they q Alan gets the new plaques fixed on the memorial wall at Sawtell’s cenotaph in time for Remembrance Day.

brought back from the wars.

“We need to be vigilant about what we fought for … there are those that would still like to take over.

“When we say, ‘Lest We Forget’ we must remember what it’s for…for keeping and protecting our free, safe and trusted lifestyle.”

Alan remembers the time coming home after serving in the Vietnam War was when “the blokes were pushing and pushing” for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to be recognised and treated.

“In the First World War they called it Shell

“I have enjoyed the friendship of many mates and have a special bond with those in the service.

Military Advocates stand ready to serve

By Andrea FERRARI

MILITARY Advocates providing around 450 veterans with wellbeing and compensation support, operate from Taree to Grafton with a local office in Scarba Street, Coffs Harbour, incorporated in 2013.

“Each year, the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month is special for these and many other veterans,” Advocate Richard Kelloway told News Of The Area.

“In remembrance of fallen comrades and veterans who have sacrificed their wellbeing in the service of their country, this team is still actively serving veterans and families across the Mid North Coast.”

All are ex-servicemen or from families that experience hardship because of a veterans’ service.

Working as a team, they continue to serve.

“Volunteering as military advocates, our role is to help veterans and families in crisis, ill-health or need.”

The Veterans Centre in the Legacy OpShop, 4 Scarba Street, Coffs Harbour, coordinates operations.

“C.ex has provided advocacy space in its Urunga and Woolgoolga clubs to cope with increasing demand and Advocates will operate there from late November.

“Nambucca Heads RSL Sub-Branch and the C.ex are helping fund operations.

“Advocates’ support is open to veterans from all conflicts, and peacekeeping, border protection and peacetime service.

“The advocacy team is strongly supported by many Ex-Service Organisations.”

Seen in the group photo are Charles Bevan, who is a trainee advocate from the RSL and Louise, a Wellbeing Advocate from the Partners of Veterans Association.

Advocates come with a range of experience: from the Naval Association, Submariners’ Association and other veterans’ groups.

“They support veterans whether they belong to an ESO or not.

“Advocates submit veterans’ claims to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.

“They support veterans who have mental health concerns and at least one day of service.

“They also link veterans with education and training service providers, help find employment, get the right medical support, connect with veterans sporting activities and with other veterans, find accommodation in a crisis and claim compensation for injury or illness caused by service.

“They stand ready to serve all who have served,” said Richard.

Reflections on Armistice Day

By Andrea FERRARI

“ARMISTICE Day to me, is special, as I reflect on the people who shaped my life from a young boy,” veteran Bob Wyer, Woolgoolga resident, told News Of The Area.

“My grand uncle Percy, who served in the Light Horse in WW1, and my grandfather Bert, who as an older man, served along with his son, my uncle Wes, during WW11.

“Their stories made it sound so exciting, and I grew up with only one career choice in mind.

“I signed up and joined the service on the day I turned 17.

“My life was the Army then, for over 20 years, beginning at Kapooka for

training, and then Vietnam service 1967-68.

“Following that, I served in Townsville (three times), Singapore, Brisbane (twice), Melbourne, PNG and Sydney, until as a family we decided that we needed some stability, instead of 18-month postings crisscrossing the country.

“At Remembrance time, and throughout the year, I try to keep in contact with many of the most wonderful mates I made during my service days.

“No one except those who serve, are aware of the depth of the friendship that is felt amongst those who were brothers in arms.

“We all try to keep each other in good spirits.

“We are all distressed when news of more recent comrades fall or suffer.

q (L-r) Natalie Smith, representing the Coffs Ex-Services Club with Legacy’s Pat Magann, Wellbeing Advocate Louise Freebairn, trainee Advocate Charles Bevan and Air Force Association Advocate Richard Kelloway, at C.ex Urunga.

“Many similar stories to ours are frequently played out on news reels and TV. “Our thoughts are with these young men who served and still serve so bravely, on the other side of the world, while we sit here at home, in comfort, wondering why they send the young ones.

“Their efforts are thoroughly appreciated by us old soldiers, and it is distressing to witness their suffering, post-service, as did we.

“These are the people we think of now, especially on these modern Remembrance Days.

“Seeing the old film of WW1, usually replayed at this time, I often wonder if I would have been brave enough to go where those brave men did.”

Bob joined Legacy in 2013.

He had been asked to join to help prior to this, but at the funeral of one of his service mates, he learned that this gentleman had been a Legatee for 30 years.

“That prompted me to find out more.”

Legacy cares for the widows and children of Defence personnel who have lost their lives or their health to their service, since after WW1.

“I have got to know, and care for my ladies here in the Woolgoolga area, since then.

“Legacy is a wonderful organisation to be associated with, and I am proud to continue in service in this small way.

“Lest we forget.”

q Bob Wyer joined Legacy after twenty years of Defence Force service.

Buildonix Grant Boost

By Sandra MOON

CONSTRUCTION company Buildonix Australia has received a $840,000 grant allowing it to construct a manufacturing facility for its construction system components in Coffs Harbour.

The Regional Job Creation Fund grant will equate to creating 42 sustainable fulltime jobs.

Buildonix is a local manufacturer that makes components for high quality modular structures that can be built quickly and easily allowing for a range of uses.

It builds environmental sustainability into the modular construction which can be built by hand, on site or in the factory.

Buildonix Australia CEO Maurice Lake spoke with News Of The Area about the grant announcement.

“This is absolutely brilliant.

“Technically it will speed up operations by two to three

years,” he said.

“It will give us the opportunity to build our first stage operational team.”

Mr Lake stated that as a manufacturing company in the tourism dominated area of Coffs, Buildonix is keen on expanding regional employment opportunities.

“We want to provide a reliable foundation of employment to benefit the community.”

He said Buildonix construction can be used for any building purpose: domestic, commercial, interior or exterior.

“We are not limited and we are much faster and far more environmentally sustainable because all the components can be disassembled and reused.

“We can offer the ability to start small and build on when needed.

“It produces no waste and can be done relatively quickly,” he remarked.

Member for Coffs

www.newsofthearea.com.au

Harbour Gurmesh Singh describes Buildonix Australia’s manufacturing as revolutionary.

Mr Singh said the company’s innovative construction system is quick, easy, eliminates the need for permanent fixing methods and allows the use of recycled or recovered materials, redefining the modular construction industry.

“The new Coffs Harbour facility constructed by Buildonix will speed up the company’s production processes to produce high quality components to be used in the construction industry in Australia and overseas,” Mr Singh said.

“The company will also hire, train and upskill local employees, creating 42 manufacturing positions in the first three years of operation, helping them in securing a foothold in the market and construction contracts now, and well into the future.”

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the $130 million Regional Job Creation Fund aims to create more than 6,500 new direct jobs in regional NSW by providing incentives to expand and keep operations in regional areas.

“Regional NSW is the engine room of the state and helping companies like Buildonix Australia expand its operations stimulates local and regional economies, boosts livelihoods and creates local employment

opportunities,” Mr Toole said.

“Providing businesses with the opportunity to fast track their growth plans and expand their operations means they can increase their production, attract more investment and create new jobs today, which is great news for the local economy.

“Setting businesses up for success helps the local community grow and new jobs means more people earning a wage and spending their pay packets in local stores, cafés, restaurants and

even larger in countries with longer school closures.

“School closures associated with the pandemic seem to have disproportionately affected

students and families who had lower income, lower digital capabilities and broadened cultural divides.

“Some studies have suggested there may be 60% of learning losses among some students during COVID. “While governments aim

to provide education on the basis of equal opportunity, unfortunately lockdowns have amplified academic inequity.”

Inadequate space for students and parents to work from home and the need for computer sharing or for families that are less confident in English has increased the impact.

Stress placed on families has affected the mental wellbeing of parents which makes it difficult to focus and provide concentrated time and energy on student learning.

Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre, in partnership with The Smith Family, has recommenced providing face to face support for students and families.

Bright Sparks Learning Club support is back, supporting high school students currently and

BEHIND the scenes there’s a lot more to the fact that students have returned to school.

According to experienced support groups the return has been met largely with a sigh of relief by many parents who were concurrently managing financial uncertainty and/or the demands of working from home in addition to the added pressure of providing support for their children’s education.

“One of the most significant impacts of COVID has been on the mental health and wellbeing of young people, with increased symptoms of anxiety and depression among children and teens being reported,” Anna Joy, Coordinator of Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood

Centre told News Of The Area.

Studies from several countries have indicated that many students made little or no progress while learning from home and suggest losses

hoping to extend the service to primary school students from early 2022.

Students are matched with volunteers from Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre.

“I have seen the students meeting with the volunteer tutors over the last few weeks and observed the benefits this fantastic partnership brings,” added Anna.

“Not only do the students benefit from the tuition but some lovely relationships are forming between the students in the Club and between the students and their mentors.

“We are very keen to expand the program and are interested in hearing from possible tutors and students who can be connected up with The Smith Family to join the Club.“ The Club meets on a Monday afternoon from 3.30pm.

RFS Command Facility being built at Coffs

By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Harbour’s NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) Area Command will be housed in a new $10 million facility to be built at Coffs Harbour airport.

The new facility is where the helicopter recently assigned to the Mid North Coast will be located, enabling rapid deployment across northern NSW. Gurmesh Singh has been lobbying hard for both the helicopter and

centralised facility for the RFS, currently operating from disparate locations around Coffs Harbour.

“The new facility set to be built will house the RFS Area Command team, Planning and Environment team and hangar for the multi-purpose helicopter, providing local firefighters with state-of-the-art facilities and resources,” said Mr Singh.

“Coffs is a big hub for rescues for the RFS - beyond fires, there’s the floods,

q Omnitae nonetur? Nonectae vita conet latur, cum adipidi sitaquas

storms and such events as the train derailment in Nana Glen.”

The helicopter service will also be supporting the SES and Fire & Rescue services promptly, rather than having to get the services up from Newcastle, he said.

David Elliott said a lot of work from Mr Singh had resulted in the helicopter being permanently located in Coffs Harbour.

“The work being done in recent times has justified the decision to provide a better level of service and safety, and extra support to the other services.

“The building of the new facility and provision of aviation assets to the area shows we take the service very, very seriously.”

“Coffs has the infrastructure and good support from council,” he added Mr Elliott said the NSW Government is committed to the expansion of the RFS aviation capacity, including its resources and training.

“The RFS aviation capability has grown over recent years and is now the biggest firefighting aviation fleet in the country,” he said.

Rob Rogers said that the strategic placement of the RFS aviation fleet including Coffs Harbour, is particularly important with Coffs being seen as a significant location for the RFS, with over 50 staff located here.

Helicopters, now located in Coffs, Dubbo and Tumut, will provide additional reassurance for regional NSW communities.

“It will not only support the NSW RFS during firefighting operations, but also provide other regional emergency services with

Contract awarded for YAM exhibitions

By Emma DARBIN

A CONTRACT for the design, fabrication and installation of two permanent museum exhibitions at the new Yarrila Arts and Museum (YAM) has been awarded to Thylacine Design for nearly $1.5 million.

The two permanent museum exhibitions are planned to be the mainstay of Yarrila Arts and Museum at Yarrila Place and will include ‘Stories of Coffs’, a social history exhibition, and the ‘Welcome to Country’ - Gumbaynggirr exhibition.

Coffs Harbour City councillors have unanimously agreed to accept an offer from Thylacine Design for Permanent Museum Exhibition (design, fabricate and install) services for Yarrila Arts and Museum for the lump sum contract amount of $1,496,000.

Thylacine is a multiaward winning Canberra based design company

which specialises in the design and delivery of public environments that connect visitors personally and physically to an experience and story.

Tenders were received

by Council from four proponents for the contract.

Council will need to formally confirm the funds for the 2022/23 financial year when that budget is considered by Council next year.

The contract will commence immediately, with production of the permanent ‘Welcome to Country’ exhibition to be prioritised in recognition of its essential role in welcoming visitors to Yarrila Place and it will be completed, along with the Yarrila Arts and Museum (YAM) spaces, for the building’s opening in late 2022.

The digital exhibition will be front and centre of the new YAM and will feature an audio-visual presentation to welcome

visitors to land, sea and sky country.

Local creative agency Zakpage has been contracted together with Thylacine interpretive design studio to work collaboratively with the Gumbaynggirr community to deliver the ‘Welcome to Country’ exhibition.

q A contract for the design, fabrication and installation of two permanent exhibitions at the new Yarrila Arts and Museum has been awarded for $1.4 million. Photo: Lee Griffith Photography.

“At every stage of the production - from the writing process through to the final edit – Zakpage will co-create with the community and will engage a Gumbaynggirr producer to assist with the consultation and casting of talent to appear in the film,” Gallery and Museum

curator Jo Besley said.

The ‘Stories of Coffs’ exhibition will present an overview of the unique history of the Coffs Coast, showcasing the Museum’s collections of historical artefacts, photographs and multimedia resources.

The permanent exhibition will be completed

by mid-2023, after the new Yarrila Arts and Museum building is operational.

The permanent exhibition costs do not form part of the $81 million cost for the Yarrila Place building, and are deemed as a separate project by Council.

Elders Release Statement on Deep Sea Fishing Club Lease

By Sandra MOON

COFFS Harbour’s local Garlambirla Guuyu-Girrwaa Aboriginal Elders Corporation Inc. Deep-Sea Corrambilla Group have released a statement on Council’s decision to lease the Deep Sea Fishing Club to Seaside Restaurants and Amplify Events, who currently operate three restaurants in Byron Bay and Noosa.

The Coffs Harbour Local Garlambirla Guuyu-Girrwaa Aboriginal Elders Corporation formed a consortium with

local identities Jonah Cooper (son of legendary Bob Cooper Surfboards) and Billy Trembath, a local live music producer.

The consortium was one of several contenders for the lease.

News Of The Area spoke with Reg Craig, a consortium member about the statement titled Letter of Disappointment.

“We had named our partnership the ‘Deep Sea Corambirra’ because this place has significant history and deep meaning

for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous local Coffs Harbour people who are passionate about this venue and place.

“We wanted to share this passion with locals and visitors to this site,” he said.

“This site also has significant connectivity to other sacred Aboriginal sites in Gumbayngirr Country and surrounding Indigenous countries and our business plan would have nurtured a re-connection to the land and ancient traditions of this area for the people of Coffs

prolonged droughts, extreme heatwaves and damaging floods at an unprecedented rate.

“We have had to endure these events with our children in our arms while explaining the climate crisis and the ineptitude of the leaders refusing to step up with courage and lead.”

Mr Johnson, a local avocado farmer, was also arrested.

He expressed his frustration at the National Party leader using farmers as an excuse not to act on climate change.

He said, “Yesterday Barnaby Joyce stated that it would benefit North Coast farmers that Australia had snubbed the Global Methane Pledge to reduce methane emissions by 30% by 2030.

“This is rubbish!,” he said.

Mr Johnson went on to

say that farmers are on the frontlines of climate change, facing impacts of more severe drought, fires and storms and flooding and they can also be part of the solution.

He said that the issue with methane is increasingly leakage from gas fracking, LNG processing and production and transport of coal and landfill rather than cattle emissions.

Jeff Tomkinson, spokesperson for Coffs Coast Climate Action Group, added, “Climate scientists have been clear: we need urgent action on climate change. Not in 2050, but right now.”

“Every delay is costing us in livelihoods and extinctions.”

He said the Prime Minister and Energy Minister were behaving like ‘fossil fools’ in Glasgow.

Mr Tomkinson said, “If we don’t want to go the way of the dinosaurs, we need a serious plan to transition away from fossil energy like coal and gas to modern, renewable energy like solar and wind.

“The solutions are ready to go, we just need political will,” he said.

Mr Conaghan’s office was approached for comment but did not respond.

COFFS Coast Climate Action Group members, dressed as dinosaurs, have protested against what they say is Australia’s dismal contribution to the COP26 global climate talks in Glasgow.

The ‘dinosaurs’ danced and sang at the Coffs Harbour office of the Federal Member for Cowper, Pat Conaghan, last Friday, November 5.

Things escalated when police arrived and Nicole Read and Anthony Johnson were arrested and charged with trespassing.

Nicole Read released a statement that read, “As a passionate and concerned Australian parent I have been compelled to take action at the National Party office of Pat Conaghan today.

“I am calling for

immediate action to stop fuelling the accelerating climate crisis that is directly impacting my children’s lives and their futures.

“The leaders of this country have made a mockery of the COP26 Glasgow climate talks.

“Australia, the world’s second largest exporter of thermal coal, refused to sign major global commitments to reduce coal power and methane production.

“Our leaders are so out of step with the rest of the world that they are causing direct harm to our economy, climate and future prosperity.

“With no clear and concrete direction to reduce emissions they are effectively destroying my children’s future and the future generations of humanity.

Good luck to HSC students STRICT COVID-safe exam protocols were in place at 9.50am on Tuesday when more than 1200 students from the Coffs Harbour and Clarence Valley areas started the 2021 HSC written exams with English Paper 1.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said while this had been a challenging final year of school, our local students are on the home stretch.

“This has been a tough year for young people, but I have been so impressed by the way Coffs Coast students, families and school communities have come together,” Mr Singh said.

“You should feel incredibly proud of yourself for reaching this milestone. Keep focused over the next few weeks and keep doing what you can to stay healthy, connected with

friends and ask for help if you need.

“The entire community is behind you as you sit your exams and prepare to move on to the next chapter of your exciting young lives.”

Mandatory COVID-safe exam protocols and fully vaccinated exam staff are an important part of the plan for keeping HSC students safe throughout the exam period and include: • School and exam staff to be vaccinated • Masks to be worn by students and staff • Students to check in and complete a health screening before entering the exam room • Students to be seated 1.5 metres apart • Well-ventilated exam rooms.

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the NSW Education Standards Authority had also introduced a special consideration program to support equity and fairness for students whose personal circumstances during lockdown have made preparing for their HSC enormously challenging.

“Thank you to the principals, teachers, school and exam staff of the Coffs Coast for their ongoing support of HSC students during a challenging period.

“I am sure your students are grateful for all that you have done to get them here,” Ms Mitchell said.

The HSC written exams will end on December 3, with students set to receive their ATAR on 20 January and results on 24 January.

Landcare gives love to Linden Lagoon

By Andrea FERRARI

LINDEN Lagoon, a hidden natural oasis in Boambee, has been getting a whole lot of love and attention from a passionate group of local residents.

Formed just over a year ago the Linden Lagoon

Landcare Group is celebrating their achievements from the past year.

The group has collectively clocked up over 800 hours of volunteer time at the reserve, with a core team of eight members meeting once a week.

The results of their hard

animals.

The group has also carried out photo point monitoring so changes in the landscape can be documented over time.

“This hard working group of residents have achieved so much in a short period of time,” Barry Powells, President of Coffs Harbour Regional Landcare (CHRL) told News Of The Area.

“It’s wonderful to see the results of these locals coming together to do their bit for the local community and the

natural environment.”

Moving forward the Linden Lagoon Landcare group has aspirations to continue improving visitors’ experience of the Lagoon.

As well as continuing to restore the natural bushland, they would also like to see the current walkway extended all the way around the Lagoon and some chairs and tables placed near the lagoon for residents to sit and enjoy.

“Our aim is to give the community a peaceful,

beautiful place to go to enjoy the outdoors and serenity as well as encouraging healthy bushland where our local birds and animals can thrive,” Liz Philpott, Linden Lagoon Landcare coordinator told NOTA. If you would like to become a volunteer at Linden Lagoon or one of the other 40 Landcare sites around Coffs Harbour, please contact CHRL on 66511308 or CHRL@ coffslandcare.org.au.

Labor announces candidate for Page THE Australian Labor Party has announced Patrick Deegan will be Labor’s candidate for Page at the upcoming federal election.

Mr Deegan is a social welfare professional who has dedicated his life to helping others, he has held management positions in the State Government and the community sector.

He has extensive experience in administrative and financial management, and was Labor’s candidate for Page in the 2019 Federal election.

“I’m excited to running for Page, and determined to give our region the voice in Canberra that it desperately needs,” Mr Deegan said.

“When people see my

name on the ballot paper, they’ll know what they‘re getting: a candidate who understands them, who will fight for them, and who they can trust.”

Mr Deegan said, “People across Northern NSW had faced incredible challenges over the past three years, including devastating bushfires, floods, and now the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As we continue to recover from these natural disasters and prepare to move out of the pandemic, we also need to look ahead and rebuild for the future,” Mr Deegan said.

“That’s why we can’t afford to continue muddling through with a ‘business as usual’ approach.

“The world is changing,

and now – more than ever- we need leadership and courage from our politicians.

“For example, the pandemic has increased the exodus of people looking to move from the cities to the regions – leading to soaring rental and house prices.

“Many people who have never experienced homelessness and housing insecurity are now facing a crisis.

“One of my priorities will be to ensure all levels of Government, service providers and stakeholders to come together to find workable local solutions.”

Mr Deegan said, “The Page electorate had been neglected by the Liberal-National Party Government for the past eight

CHY has teamed up with Lifeline to create a six episode series on a range of mental health and wellbeing issues as well as tips and tools on how to best navigate these next few

months and the challenges they can present.

Hosted by Angela Martin, Lifeline North Coast Communications & Community Engagement Manager, the show will feature experts from the North Coast Lifeline team.

Lifeline will be broadcast on six consecutive Thursdays

Lifeline on CHY 2021 has been a wild year and our mental health may require more assistance than usual.

“We’ve seen funding cuts to schools, TAFE and Southern Cross University. Medicare is under attack, and working families and businesses are struggling.

“People gave Kevin Hogan the benefit of the doubt at the last election when he claimed to be moving to the ‘crossbench’ in order to distance himself from the Morrison Government, but he can only pull that stunt once.”

“This time, Mr Hogan is the Assistant Minister to Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce.

“The fact is that a vote for Kevin Hogan is a vote for Barnaby Joyce, Peter Dutton, Christian Porter and Scott Morrison.”

“Australia needs a new Federal Government, and I will be giving it everything to ensure that the people of Page have a strong and effective voice in the next national Parliament.”

at 4.30 pm starting on November 18.

104.1 CHY FM Station Manager Angie Vaughan believes the program will be just what the doctor ordered after a hectic year sifting through misinformation on COVID-19.

“There’s been a lot about in the community - misinformation online, conflicting reports, Instagram experts and scaremongers who have made a bad situation worse.

“And people’s wellbeing and mental health has

certainly been challenged and damaged,” she said.

“Reaching out for help is the perfect thing for you to do and there is lots of help around.”

She hopes that airing these six programs from Lifeline will improve the lives of many and support them in their journey to good mental health and overall wellbeing.

Matt Kean Leads On Emissions Reductions ENERGY Minister and Treasurer, Matt Kean, is stepping up the NSW Government’s approach to climate change action.

In a spirited appearance on the ABC’s Q&A, he said that the state intends to reduce emissions from between 47% to 52% by 2030, in stark contrast with the position of the Federal Government.

In addition, he continues to announce initiatives that support this position.

In a major step towards effective action, the Minister has announced the Net Zero Emissions Policy Forum, a collaboration between the NSW, ACT and SA Governments, designed to help sub-national jurisdictions address the practical challenges of achieving net zero emissions.

Mr Kean said the forum will provide a repository of policies and resources that can help members reduce their emissions, and grow their economies without reinventing the wheel.

He said, “Taking action on climate change is an economic and environmental imperative, and this is about ensuring states and territories are working together to address it.

“Greenhouse gas emissions do not recognise borders, and to tackle climate change we need a globally collaborative approach and that is what this forum is about,” he continued NSW will chair the Ministerial Group for the first 12 months.

As the Forum grows, it is expected that it will be co-chaired by a leading subnational

government from overseas.

Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour, told News Of The Area, “The net zero targets for 2050 were set by our government back in 2016 and revisions to the 2030 target were revised earlier this year.

“Steps towards achieving those targets should be welcomed as our plan will deliver $37 Billion in private investment and thousands of jobs across NSW,” he said.

Mr Kean has also declared that the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is set to become the first national parks agency in Australia to commit to being carbon positive.

He said that by 2028 NPWS will remove and store more carbon than it creates, reaching net zero emissions and then

becoming carbon positive.

Mr Kean said, “This is a visionary plan that highlights the importance of the national parks in combating climate change alongside the critical role they already play in the conservation of biodiversity providing home to 85 percent of threatened species in the state.”

The ‘Carbon Positive Plan’ is for NPWS to implement actions to reduce its carbon footprint including switching to 100% renewable

energy, electric passenger vehicles, installing onsite solar PV, reducing waste and updating refrigeration and air conditioning assets with high efficiency models.

NPWS will also trial electric vehicle charging stations in key park areas to support the community to continue to visit National Parks using electric vehicles.

Mr Kean said that National Parks also represent one of the largest carbon stores in the State, protecting over 40 percent of all forest carbon.

These existing carbon stores will be protected through effective fire management, and invest in a suite of biodiversityfriendly carbon sequestration projects. q Matt Kean is taking action on climate change. Photo: ABC Q&A.

Screening manufacturer zips up new facility in Coffs Harbour

By Andrea FERRARI

A COFFS Harbour business that designs and builds innovative outdoor screens for homes and businesses is set to bring manufacturing inhouse to reduce its reliance on offshore suppliers, thanks to the NSW Government’s Regional Job Creation Fund.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said a $120,000 grant will help Ossie O to buy and install new plant and

equipment for its North Boambee factory, supporting the creation of six sustainable jobs for the region.

Gurmesh said funding will allow the company to rely less on Chinese made components for its retractable screens, awnings and shutter products, which will increase local production schedule times and open more opportunities.

“Ossie O’s mosquito and insect screens, awning and shutters are much sought after and soon they will be able to make these

products with locally made components to meet the growing demand in the market,” said Mr Singh. .

“Manufacturing components locally means there is less reliance on importing parts, which in turn reduces delays and will also create job opportunities for locals as production capacity grows.”

Ossie O owner Simon Shipman told News Of The Area, “Sharon and I are so pleased to be successful with the grant application as this will enable us to further invest in the local manufacturing.

“We have grown from a team of five only four years ago to a team of 20 and it is great to employ local people and retain manufacturing on the Coffs Coast.”

“Our Zipslide product which was developed by Simon is now distributed to over 65 wholesalers throughout Australia and has now been Patent approved in China and the United States,” said Sharon.

“These are exciting times for Ossie O.” The Regional Job Creation Fund supports eligible businesses with grants to purchase new equipment, expand facilities, acquire technology, create new production lines or establish businesses in regional NSW. Round one of the Regional Job Creation Fund has now closed.

A second round will open in early 2022.

Hail Disaster Response Centre comes to Coffs

By Andrea FERRARI

A HAIL Disaster Response Repair Centre for vehicles has been set up in Coffs Harbour at 17 June St. The assessment centre showcases PDR Australia’s world leading technology in assessing car panel dents such as you would get from hailstones.

Greg Elliott, GM PDR Australia told News Of The Area, “When a hail storm comes through, like it did here in Coffs last week, the local Smash Repairers struggle to cope with thousands of cars needing to get repaired.

“In collaboration with PDR Australia, the insurance company Youi engage specialist hail repairers so

their customers don’t have to wait months for assessment or years to get their cars repaired.

“On Wednesday when the first storm happened, we immediately looked for a shed to set up for a major event scenario,” said Greg, himself a resident of Coffs Harbour.

“We were set up by the weekend, giving us our seventh location in Australia.

"How it works is that when the Youi customers lodge a claim, they are given an assessment appointment with PDR Australia in June Street.

“The customer pulls in; we do a meet and greet, and they drive through the scanner – a half-million-dollar piece q Alex Monahan, PDR Business Relations Manager.

of equipment - which scans the entire vehicle for all hail dents, counting and sizing each one.”

Slowly driving through into the traditional Light Tunnel, inspectors then look at the damaged parts, such as cracks in the light fittings, small fine dents in the mouldings and cracked plastic parts.

“We write a quote on repairs, paint required and parts, providing a full damage assessment report.”

This information goes into the estimating system and then the customer moves forward out of the tunnels where Alex Monahan, Business Relations Manager of PDR Australia, chats them through their damage

assessment and arranges a repair booking date.

“Leading up to Christmas is never a good time for extra expenses so we’re offering a payment plan for people to pay their excess, which is appreciated,” said Alex.

“We’re getting tears every day, because for some we have to tell them their car is

not economical to repair.

“Then they’re faced with the inconvenience of buying a new car; and with COVID the supply of new cars has been limited.”

The aim for PDR Australia is to achieve “pre storm condition with as little or no painting”, said Greg “(We are) aiming to keep

OzGreen drives Food for Thought

By Andrea FERRARI FOOD growers, producers, retailers and distributors across Bellingen Shire are being called to unite and

collaborate to create a food resilience vision and plan for the future.

Driving the initiative OzGreen invited local stakeholders to a workshop

q Paul Harper - Cedar Bar and Kitchen, Aaron Knowles - Bello Food Box and Anton Juodvalkis - OzGreen CEO.

to plan the actions that are needed before meeting with the community later in November.

OzGreen’s founder Sue Lennox told News Of The Area, “Hopeful, encouraged and inspired were just some of the words used to describe our food resilience community engagement workshop at Cedar Bar and Kitchen in Bellingen on Wednesday 3 November.”

These are feelings and emotions we all need a little more of right now, she said OzGreen’s food resilience community engagement workshop involved local food growers, retailers, and distributors and was the first of four workshops that will run throughout the month of November in Urunga, Bellingen and Dorrigo.

“Workshop participants were given the opportunity to express their local food system concerns and envisage a future where their concerns had been addressed.

“All participants conveyed a strong desire to move away from a food system based on profit and growth to a circular food system that respects nature, reduces waste and enables people to work together and

share resources.”

Participants imagined a future where enough infrastructure was available to produce, process and distribute food locally and sustainable agriculture was actively supported.

They also envisioned a future that facilitates equitable access to healthy and affordable food where people are informed and educated about their food choices.

Coffs SES receives leading-edge rescue trucks

By Andrea FERRARI

SES Coffs Harbour City Unit has just taken delivery of two new vehicles providing the unit with a significant capability upgrade for its rescue service to the Coffs Coast.

James Daniels, Unit Commander and Coffs Harbour City Unit volunteer, told News Of The Area, “The new Heavy Rescue Vehicle will do well in serving our highway, rail and airport infrastructure as well as the increasing demand from industrial and domestic rescue.

“Additionally, the new Light Storm Vehicle is at the leading edge in design and equipment, in response vehicles in Australia.

“This is all part of the Fleet Replacement Program which is supported by Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh, the Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott and SES Commissioner Carlene York.”

The three attended a ceremony in Coffs Harbour with Coffs and Urunga SES officials on 4 November.

“The Heavy Vehicle

arrived last week and replaced our three-year-old Medium Rescue Vehicle.

“The Light Storm Vehicle delivery got rushed forward for the storm season and arrived just before the Toormina, Boambee, Sawtell hail event in late October.”

SES Urunga’s Rescue Vehicle was received by the unit last year and has been operational since then; it officiated alongside the Coffs Unit’s vehicles.

“It was a pleasure to host Gurmesh, Minister Elliott and Commissioner York; having them come out to rural areas and speak to members and recognise their efforts means a lot to the operators.

“This new equipment builds on 35 years of rich history for NSW SES, with Coffs Harbour Unit taking the primary rescue role.

“This will support all rescue capabilities including vehicle rescue, large animal rescue, flood rescue and road crash rescue, including heavy vehicles.

“Coffs Harbour Unit is one of the fastest growing and now the largest unit in NSW,” said James.

Member for Coffs Harbour

Gurmesh Singh said, “The Light Storm Vehicle valued at $185,000 and the Heavy Rescue Vehicle valued at $420,000 will boost the Coffs Harbour City emergency response capability to storms like the recent hail event, as well as floods, and other emergencies.

“The Coffs Harbour City Unit has responded to 1319 requests for assistance from the community in this financial year alone.

“Of those requests, 1255 were due to the storm last month.”

THE Woolgoolga Lions Club presented its first life membership to Darryl Morris at a small ceremony on Saturday November 6 at the Woolgoolga Community Gardens.

Immediate past President of the Club Jean Vickery told News Of The Area, “Daryl joined Inverell Lions in 1970 and served two years as President/Chairperson for several committees, he then transferred to Woolgoolga in 2002 where he was President for two years, secretary for two years and a very hard working member and fundraiser for Lions.” Jean said Darryl is “still an active member following two strokes”.

Darryl also served for five years on the Lions District Cabinet, and when asked what he remembers most about his time in Lions replied, “I think I really appreciate the

At the same event the Lions Club donated a new mulcher to the Woolgoolga Community Gardens.

Spring Roots brings live music back

By Andrea FERRARI

LIVE music and sunshine delivered an enjoyable afternoon-into-evening at Spring Roots at Bellingen Showground on Saturday 6 November.

“Spring Roots was a great way to get the ball rolling with live outdoor music events again; we dusted off the cobwebs and celebrated local talent,” UMBL Music’s director Ahva Dub told News Of The Area.

“Uncle Martin Ballangarry was in great spirits during his Welcome to Country and had a good performance on the first few songs of his son’s set.

“Jumballo (aka Keene

Ballangarry aka Uncle Bundi), an experienced performer, gave the crowd a good serve of Gumbaynggirr songs and other Aboriginal hits.

“Up and coming star Kauri blew people away with his sweet voice, song writing skills and percussive guitar.

“Starting off the evening was DJ Joelism on the 1s and 2s spinning tasty tunes and finishing off the night was Miramorf, a Bellingen electronic music producer with a classical music background, both providing the perfect atmosphere.”

The legendary rhythmic genius Greg Sheehan gave everyone a wonderful

performance with accomplished fiddle player Naomi Jones joining him for most of his set.

Organiser Ahva Dub jumped up on bamboo flute (amongst other instruments), accompanied

by John Arkan on tablas and Myles Boyd on electric guitar.

“Highlight of the night turned out to be Wild Thyme who got the whole crowd up and dancing to their gypsy folk goodness, they are just an amazing trio with double bass, guitar and fiddle and are a must see.”

Co-organiser and emcee Lauren Mills put on some tasty curries and sweets that were in demand and really q

Cartoon Gallery’s Open Day

By Andrea FERRARI

q

Cartoon Gallery Open Day drums up fun.

Exhibition before it closes, making way for this year’s National Rotary Cartoon Awards.

The 33rd Rotary Cartoon Awards exhibition opens on 12 November and celebrates the best cartoons over the last year.

The National Cartoon Gallery’s new Manager, Chris Durham, told News Of The Area she intends to broaden the Gallery’s exhibitions and activities to attract more young people.

“The recent Japanese Manga Art exhibition was

houses the largest collection of cartoons in the Southern Hemisphere.

Families came to see the exhibitions, enjoy a coffee in the newly opened café and participate in the various activities. Children and adults enjoyed face painting, drumming, creating animation toys and whimsical whirligigs, cartoon drawing, vintage cartoons in the cinema and lots more.

Visitors also learnt about the Bunker’s unique and remarkable history and viewed the Bill Leak

THE National Cartoon Gallery’s recent Open Day saw a very different crowd wandering through the building, which was exactly the intention of the open invitation to visit.

The Gallery offered free entry to a day that was packed with fun activities for children and families to enjoy.

It also provided an opportunity for locals to see the amazing new extension and exhibition space that

“Also on exhibition is the recently opened A Last Hurrah! celebrating the humour, the chaos and the seriousness that cartooning can present and the sheer talent on display by our Australian cartoonists and

caricaturists through the eyes of our previous Manager Margaret Cameron,” said Paul McKeon, Chairman, The National Cartoon Gallery @ The Bunker.

“The recent Open Day was the first of many activities and exhibitions to appeal to young families and it won’t

be the last,” said Chris.

There are children’s exhibitions planned for next year as well as more fun and creative workshops.

produces greenhouse gases that are costly to manage and dangerous to the environment,” Ms Bigg said.

“Only thirty eight percent of the loose food waste found in kerbside bins was found where it should be – in the green bin.

“That means most of our food scraps are landing in the wrong bin and we’re wasting the opportunity to turn them into valuable compost for use on local parks, gardens and farms.”

By comparison the best Council audit result in NSW was close to eighty percent for correctly placing items in their green bin rather than the red bin.

“If we all did the right thing and put all our food scraps into the green bin, we could divert an additional fifty seven tonnes of food waste from landfill every year and prevent more than

one hundred and thirty tonnes of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere.”

To make it easy for residents to collect their food scraps from the kitchen for the green bin, Coffs Harbour, Bellingen and Nambucca Valley Councils have teamed up with MidWaste to provide residents with free kitchen caddies as part of the Let’s Get Composting Coffs Coast campaign.

Head to www. letsgetcomposting.org.au to find out where to get yours.

These three Council areas generate about sixty seven thousand tonnes of waste every year, with each household generating around twenty seven kilograms every week - that’s 1.4 tonnes a year or the weight of a family car.

The results show that almost 40 percent of the items going in the red bin actually belong in the green bin.

By putting it in the green bin it can be made into compost by the Council or at home with a composting tool.

But in the red bin it ends up in landfill.

MidWaste Coordinator Ali Bigg said Coffs Harbour, Bellingen and Nambucca residents are great at recycling but there is definitely room to improve with their composting.

Soil health focus at Ebor

q Stuart Austin says since switching to a soil health focus in 2012, soil carbon results have increased from 2.5 percent to 4.7 percent at Wilmot.

STUART Austin, General Manager of Wilmot Cattle Company, notes subtle changes in the landscape each time he shifts cattle to fresh pasture at the 1854-hectare-property on the Ebor Plateau of northern NSW. Native plants are emerging and the pasture biomass and ground cover continue to flourish, following a shift in grazing management nine-years-ago.

Since switching to a soil health focus in 2012, soil carbon results have increased from 2.5 percent to 4.7 percent at Wilmot.

Stuart demonstrates the importance of farmers in restoring ecological function alongside building a profitable and robust business.

The Wilmot Cattle Company team takes a regenerative approach across three properties Wilmot, Woodburn and Morocco – spanning 5,665-hectares in the New England region – to produce grass-fed beef

and sequester soil carbon.

“Our role is to provide food and fibre for the world but also to preserve the environment we manage,” Stuart says.

“As farmers we manage so much of this landscape on a percentage basis and a full ecological system includes animals.

If we manage those animals in a positive way that benefits the environment, then we can have a huge positive impact on the landscape, which is what’s required for us to have a really significant impact on the climate.”

Grazing management is the primary tool used to increase biodiversity, soil health, animal performance and profitability.

Data from every aspect of the business is recorded to assist with decision making.

“We are continuing to challenge the parameters within the business and have a strong continuous improvement philosophy,” Stuart says.

Wilmot Cattle Company has a goal to

reach soil carbon of six percent by 2023 at Wilmot, while at Woodburn they are aiming for four percent and three percent at Morocco.

“The carbon piece has become a big focus and in my role as General Manager I am looking to build on this at an industry level.

“It’s actually encouraging producers to focus on natural capital and the rewards and opportunities that may be there.”

“One of my fundamental goals in life is to help other people which is why I have never been shy about sharing what we do, without claiming to have all the answers.

“We have learnt so much and will continue to learn every year for the benefit of the business and landscape.

“I like to think in 20-30 years’ time, we’ll be able to look back and because we were open and willing to share, others have implemented things on their land and so had an impact across a much bigger landscape, rather than just the ones we manage.”

Public Trustee removed as financial manager

DUE to a cognitive impairment as a result of a medical condition, Wendy is the subject of orders granting the Public Guardian and the New South Wales Trustee and Guardian (‘Public Trustee’), management of her affairs.

Several years later, Wendy’s condition improves and she retains a solicitor to make an application, removing the Public Trustee from her management.

Wendy instructs her solicitor that she would like her aunt to make significant decisions regarding her affairs on the basis that she trusts her aunt to act in Wendy’s best interests.

Wendy has a substantial amount of money in her bank account.

She also wishes to relocate to more appropriate accommodation.

The Tribunal hears that Wendy’s aunt had experienced difficulties in communicating with the Public Trustee, who had considered her offensive, condescending and insulting.

The Tribunal finds that Wendy is still a ‘person in need of a guardian’ but that she has capacity to participate in the hearing, and that her wish, to remove Public Trustee as managers of her affairs, should be respected.

The Tribunal also finds that the appointment of Wendy’s aunt was in-line with the principles of the legislation which aimed to ‘preserve a person’s existing family relationships’.

The Tribunal decides that Wendy’s aunt is an appropriate person to manage Wendy’s affairs because she is ‘willing and able’ and can objectively act in Wendy’s best interests.

However, the Tribunal also decides that it is necessary to appoint Wendy’s sister as an alternative guardian as additional ‘assurance’ and orders are made that Wendy’s aunt and sister be appointed for 12 months.

The Tribunal also directs Wendy to obtain legal advice in relation to the execution of a Power of Attorney and Appointment of Enduring Guardian with a view to protecting her in the future.

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 THINK my kids are taking advantage of the new rules for staying at home with any sign of a COVID symptom.

They are fine on weekends, but suddenly have a headache, slightly sore throat and a bit of a sniffle on Monday.

Mr George R.

For those 1500 antivaxxers who 'proudly' demonstrated at our Jetty last Sunday DEAR News Of The Area,

IF you are a nurse or school teacher and persistently refuse the proven safe vaccination, you are NOT caring for your patients or our

children.

This virus kills.

It is my body and that of my family members you could be potentially killing if you are infected.

When you chose your

job you also had to agree to the responsibilities it holds.

Regards, Peter MARTIN.

What a Costly Trick!

DEAR News Of The Area,

BAPTIST Pastor Rev Alan Rudnick of DeWitt Community Church NY is clear when he explains Halloween is connected to the Christian holiday of All Hallows Eve. October 31 is the evening before All Saint's Day. Claims it coincides with a pagan festival called Samhain are exaggerated.

There are no authentic historical accounts of what actually took place at the pagan Samhain festival that falls on November 1 not October 31.

All Hallow's Eve folk gathered for a large meal, musicians played, games were held and the day ended with Mass at the local Church.

People dressed up as

their favourite Saints and remembered their departed loved ones. Carving out pumpkins to place a candle inside representing the light of the Souls in Heaven.

Any Satanic rituals or acts of evil are largely false!

The Christian calendar is more about bringing faith and hope in Christ, teaching us about God's love.

Do Australian parents know what they are walking little children into?

Maybe the truth of Halloween should be practiced as we seek to change costumes to angels, saints, princes and princesses.

Last Sunday evening an alert was placed on Facebook to be aware!

Non participation in

giving out treats/chocolates came with the threat of cars being egged!

Coffs Harbour just suffered one of the worst hail storms on record.

Threats and needless damage caused by a false commercial trend emerging in society today!

God gives guidance.

Ephesians 5: 11 says, "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them!"

Ephesians 4: 27 says, " And give no opportunity to the devil."

Do we really need such acts of vandalism in our communities by those that are falsely misled?

Regards, J STEIN, Sawtell.

Dear George, YOU just took me back to a childhood affliction I had for several years which manifested as a stomach ache, but was actually a chronic need to stay home and be doted on by my nanna.

This was a carefully orchestrated illness with symptoms commencing the night before.

I would leave a few mouthfuls of my dinner and say I didn't feel great.

This was a master stroke as it meant I could go to my room and read instead of doing the dishes. Halfway through the night, I'd go into my parents' room and say I felt like I needed to vomit.

I'd then go to the bathroom and make retching sounds, planting further seeds of doubt into the mind of my fatigued mum.

In the morning, I'd feign stomach pains, which was normally enough, but if she suggested taking my temperature, I'd ask to do it in the bathroom as I was feeling queasy, and then I'd run the thermometer under the hot water tap.

Then I'd be delivered to my nanna's house on Mum's way to work where I'd make a miraculous recovery by about 10am.

COVID is a whole new ball game.

Not just for kids, I suspect, but for anyone who doesn't want to go to their workplace.

The whole 'soldier on' concept has been replaced by a need to stay home with the slightest symptom and the only punishment is a Q-tip up the nose.

Life has never been better, except for those of us who already work from home and are now surrounded by kids and partners, who happen to make the worst work colleagues ever.

Perhaps make your home environment less inviting.

You could do up a jobs list with unappealing tasks or become one of those irritating home-schooling experts, so manically enthusiastic about their dodgy attempts at the curriculum, that little Karl and Trinity can't wait to return to school.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Affordable Housing in Bellingen Shire

DEAR News Of The Area,

THE Bellingen Shire Council/Councillors have a lot to say about how they support affordable housing for the hundreds of homeless in the area.

Ladies living in cars, many with young children, is a blight on society in a supposedly prosperous area.

Councillors attend affordable housing meetings and express views as to how they are helping alleviate this serious

problem.

However, this, from our experience, is only lip service.

There have been several philanthropic people in the area who have attempted to address the issues of the homeless, by making an application to Council to provide affordable, good quality new housing.

30 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

Some two to three years ago, following site meetings with the builder, plumbers and other trades, one ratepayer, working closely with a registered building company, submitted plans to Council to build 2 x 2 bedroom cottages on her land, which we were told would be supported.

The application was rejected.

Council officers never attended the proposed site.

The site was adjacent to three other existing homes within 50 meters on the same level.

Council indicated that they believed that it was a flood area and would have to send out boats to rescue

media@newsofthearea.com.au

the residents?

Strange that the residents of the existing dwellings have never had a problem nor had to be rescued.

The Councillors were sent correspondence asking for their input.

Sadly not one of the current Councillors responded.

By Karen FILEWOOD THE night May had Harbour’s waiting for

the leg was found, Constable to stay overnight in Coffs Cricketers Arms Hotel while the Police Magistrate to arrive

from Bellingen, to hold the inquest on the leg.

There were no police station or lock-up facilities in the area, so the Constable kept Friske handcuffed to himself, sharing the hotel room for the night.

With a restless prisoner and several apparently nervous people checking on him during the night while smoking and having a drink, everyone had a rather restless, ‘wakeful’ night.

The following morning Friske was shivering as it was cold and requested a little brandy to warm up.

Around 20 minutes later he stated, “I see you are a Christian, and I want to be a

Christian too.

“Don’t trouble yourself about Mat Matson ... you have found all you can find, I killed him.”

Constable May stopped him to get witnesses, pen and ink and came back.

Resuming his story, Friske described how he struck Matson on the spine with the back of the axe while he was stooping over the fire in the hollow tree stump, causing him to fall into the fire – how his leg stuck out after he fell and after failing to shove it into the fire, he had chopped it off and then the boot fell off.

He continued, explaining how he threw the limb around 10 yards away into the bush,

Hard to find sympathy for the wilfully unvaccinated DEAR News Of The Area, IN answer to W Duesbury, Boambee (‘The Right to Choose or Refuse’, p30, Coffs Coast News Of The Area, 5 November 2021 Edition).

I hope the following clarifies some people's stance on the issue.

The 1930’s comparison you allude to was a political situation and not a health crisis involving health orders that are only in force for a limited time duration.

No one is taking a person’s rights away, you are still free to choose or refuse, albeit under limited circumstances.

I get what you are saying about the unvaccinated being second class citizens but it is deserved and below I’ll tell you why.

You make a further statement: “I am vaccinated solely to protect me and no other, for that is all the vaccine does”. Unfortunately, this is how misinformation circulates, I’m calling it that and not disinformation because I believe you are misguided in your summation of the situation, with no malicious intent.

I have divided people up into different groups and you seem to have a foot in each camp of two specific groups, alas there are too many groups to list here.

Never before in human history have we had so much information concerning

vaccines instantly and on a global scale, involving billions of people.

Studies and research are coming at a blinding pace, thanks to technology, unfortunately misinformation and disinformation also follows.

The following facts should be noted: 1) the jab is to protect you, although it is not 100% effective; 2) to prevent transmission to family, friends & community – see latest data from studies and research – 40-60% rates, maybe even 63% one Israel study finds; 3) to alleviate overloading of our health system – which anyone who has cause to go hospital will know, is already on a knife each; 4) to help health workers alleviate having to work in intolerable conditions in full PPE for long periods; 5) to protect people who can’t have the jab such as the vulnerable due to underlying health conditions or immunocompromised or patients who have undergone recent medical procedures or due to anaphylactic reactions – unfortunately these people are often lumped in with anti vaxxers who are a separate refusal group; 6) to protect children who can’t yet have the jab.

Anyone who can’t see the logic in the aforementioned items and take protective steps, I believe to be pretty selfish. Yes, I’m angry, increasingly, the vast majority filling the hospitals are severely ill unvaccinated

people, some who remain adamant that COVID-19 does not exist even when they are seriously ill with the virus.

Others come to the realisation too late that the deadly virus is real, begging for a vaccine before being hooked up to a ventilator, unsure whether they will regain consciousness; sorry it’s too late, you can look forward to long Covid if you survive.

“It has been incredibly challenging and distressing,” Western Health intensive care director Craig French said.

“Patients and their families have expressed the belief that they don’t have COVID, it’s not real to them, even though they are critically ill or somebody they love is very, very sick.”

Considering events overseas, where hospital medical staff have to make critical decisions who gets beds and who they save, my opinion concerning people who refuse to be vaccinated - they should be placed at the end of the queue, because they failed to try and protect themselves, and may God have mercy on their souls.

I am angry about the unvaccinated, but unfortunately you’ll always have the 5-10% who are against anything.

Some anti vaxxers would rather consult social media than a doctor, would they do that if they had a broken leg? When we had previous vaccines polio, flu etc you never asked what brand it was, you trusted the science.

If they are worried about the vaccine, I say to them, wait till you’re in hospital and

the boot into the fire, chipped the bloodstained bark from the tree stump and cleaned the axe with hot water.

Becoming frightened after the constable’s first visit to investigate the disappearance, he found the leg, intending to throw it into Coffs Creek but seeing men on the road in the distance, he dropped it beside the log and went straight home.

He maintained that he hadn’t meant to hit Matson so hard but was ‘wild’ as Matson had ‘done him wrong’ by giving him a false cheque and no-one else was involved but himself. see the cocktail of drugs you’re about to be served.

As one American music celebrity said about the dissenters “put them in a Covid ward without a mask and then report how you go”.

Remember last year we were praying for a vaccine and the Federal Government was tardy getting it.

Maybe anti vaxxers should trade places with a person in a poor Third World nation and see how they go.

I’ll conclude with the following.

In the US one of the legal precedents for public-health emergencies is a 1905 legal case, JACOBSON v. MASSACHUSETTS, in which the Supreme Court interpreted vaccination as a form of self-defence, finding that “a community has the right to protect itself against an epidemic disease which threatens the safety of its members”.

Legally, a person carrying an infectious disease is not unlike a person carrying a weapon.

“And in the end - the love you take is equal to the love you make” - The Beatles.

There doesn’t appear to be much love from the selfish unvaccinated who choose this course, and I don’t have much love for them either, may God forgive me.

Pretty hard ‘to love thy neighbour’ under these circumstances when some people deny the facts.

I hope this clarifies the situation for you and may I dare say it’s probably how the majority of vaccinated people feel.

Regards, K BANCROFT, Coffs Harbour.

Jetty Theatre ‘expansion’ Selfish Unvaccinated Individuals DEAR News Of The Area,

WE have to welcome the detailed effort to make the Jetty Theatre more easy to use for the dedicated players that provide such excellent shows for the Coffs Harbour area ($4.9m funding sought for Jetty Theatre expansion, Coffs Coast News of the Area, p 34, 5 November 2021 Edition).

However much the estimated M$4.9 funding that is sought for the Jetty Theatre ‘expansion’ might be welcomed, it does leave many of the real issues of providing good theatre for a city now exceeding 70,000 souls unsolved.

Firstly the theatre only provides 250 seats, which is a mockery for the theatre servicing a city of this size.

This is unchanged since the place was the tiny ‘Coffs what?’ of the 1920’s, constructed when most of the patrons actually lived at the Jetty and walked to the then cinema at night.

Furthermore there is little suitable car parking in the vicinity, even for 250 patrons.

Much of what parking is available is further limited at night by street parking taken up by close-by residents of flats which were obviously built without enough on-site parking provisions. Add unmade steep footpaths, multiple driveways further restricting street parking and very poor street lighting.

Friday, 12 November 2021

Consider the spectre of patrons in their theatre attire - tottering up the hill to wherever distant place their vehicle might be parked in the poorly lit darkness, come inclement weather.

Or hazarding a quick sprint over the busy Harbour Drive and an almost blind crest.

Hardly conducive to a night out even if a ticket can be had.

The ‘expansion’ must be very welcome news for our players and crew, but polishing up the theatre premises alone is not enough to ‘make a night at the theatre’ more attractive unless some decent access and parking is also on the table.

Nothing is mooted that improves this part of the theatre facility.

250 seats is also a mockery for the theatre servicing a city of this size.

Will it now become less of an insured fire hazard simply because a truckload of more money is thrown at admittedly welcome additions?

Better access for patrons might see more of our residents appreciating the joys of our excellent local productions.

But then 250 seats will hardly be enough.

Surely It is not really an expansion?

Regards, Tom CALDWELL, Sapphire Beach.

DEAR News Of The Area, A BIG thank you to all the selfish unvaccinated individuals who chose to demonstrate via a march through the community Sunday

morning markets at Coffs Harbour last weekend.

While your individual passion to reject medical advice is questionable, your disregard for the health of others, by demonstrating in close proximity, is unacceptable.

Regards, Bob HARRIS, Sawtell.

What is Pat Conaghan's climate policy?

DEAR News Of The Area,

THE times have changed with the Nationals in Coffs Harbour.

I was part of a small demonstration in front of Garry Nehl's office asking for justice for dads in the Family Court and he invited us into his office to talk.

Now a non-violent theatrical visit to Conaghan's office asking to be heard on his climate policy results in arrests for trespass.

What is Pat Conaghan's climate policy and will he make a public statement on his concern and need for climate action now and not in 30 years time?

Regards, Brian MAHONY, Coffs Harbour.

COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA 29 McAlpine Way, Boambee Open House: Saturday November 13, 11.30-12.00pm Price: $1,250,000 5 beds/3 bath/4 car Land Size: 6572sqm OFFERING privacy, space and a superior style of living, this beautiful Boambee home is situated on a spectacular 6572sqm (acre and a half) level allotment boasting all of the positives of rural living, but literally less than a ten-minute drive to the spectacular Sawtell Beach.

From the moment you turn into the sealed meandering driveway, the magic of this property begins to unfold.

The sparkling inground pool area, although sited at the front of the home, is completely private due to thoughtful plantings, and includes its own Balinese

PROPERTYWeek

PROPERTYWeek inspired Cabana area.

The home itself offers space for the largest of families with four large bedrooms, as well as a large utility fifth bedroom, that can easily be utilised as an additional living area.

Not that you need additional living areas as the home already has three.

The main bedroom is suite sized with spacious built-in robes and beautifully modern renovated ensuite.

All four other bedrooms have built in robes as well, whilst the main bathroom has also been tastefully renovated in modern tones.

The main living area features pitched timber ceilings and has views directly over the pool area. This room also has reverse cycle air conditioning as well as the charm of a slow combustion wood heater.

The design of the home even lends

itself to dual living with a three-bedroom home on one side and a two bedroom at the other.

At the rear of the property, and separate to the main dwelling, is a large utility room, perfect for the ‘man shed’ or perhaps a teenagers retreat or studio for the budding artist.

The grounds are level and feature many gardens and feature plants, and best of all the rear section has been fully fenced to ensure a safe place for the plants or children to play in and not wander.

The home offers so much it is impossible to record it all here, so ensure you come to the open house to investigate yourself.

NOUGHTS AND CROSSES

ABC, 9.35pm

Sometimes, it’s hard to know whether to cringe or be thrilled by another series based on a great book.

Normal People recently proved how expertly the tricky adaptation process can be done, but the jury’s out on this reworking of Malorie Blackman’s acclaimed book in which racism is inversed. The premise of an alternate world where Europe has been colonised by black people is arresting. In this second instalment, Callum (Jack Rowan) and Sephy (Masali Baduza, pictured) are desperate to be alone together.

If you think getting a pet is as simple as waltzing into a pet shop or local RSPCA and pointing at the dog you fancy through a window, or simply paying a breeder and rocking up six weeks after the due date to pick up your furry friend, you’d be wrong. If The Dog House Australia is anything to go by, acquiring a pet involves a meeting of minds – and that isn’t a bad thing at all.

Anyone watching this heartwarming series is reminded how important choosing the right pet is for a fruitful and affectionate relationship. Dr Chris Brown (pictured) narrates as the Animal Welfare League staff this week try to find a home for Missy the shih tzu, who was surrendered with her four pups when their owner died.

RED ELECTION

SBS, 8.30pm

Now hitting the halfway point in its spy thriller story, some viewers are still holding on to hope that Red Election will deliver some outstanding plot twists, a few foolhardy performances from its stars, and some wise moves by its protagonists to foil the baddies. But it’s wise not to get too excited about where this lacklustre Swedish thriller is heading, because there’s nothing groundbreaking on the horizon.

Tonight, Zak’s (Aidan McArdle) special advisor, Nikki (Amy Shiels), talks to Adam (James D’Arcy, pictured above) about rigging the digital vote to keep Scotland in the UK. Meanwhile, William (Stephen Dillane) urges Adam to resign.

NSW Health state-run vaccination clinics are now offering a booster dose, using the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, to individuals aged 18 and over.

This booster shot will help people maintain a high level of protection against the COVID-19 virus, including the Delta variant.

A touching tale for children

by Bellingen creatives

By Andrea FERRARI

THE fertility journey of husband-and-wife creatives in Bellingen has given birth to a beautifully written and illustrated children’s book about…well, the beginning of life in general.

‘There’s A Reason You Are Here’ by Alex and Sarah Shortcake is now available in The Book Warehouse, Coffs Harbour.

“My wife Sarah and I have been creating together since we were high school sweethearts mostly musically, playing in bands and writing original songs,” Alex told News Of The Area.

“Our house is full of art we created together, and you’ll often spot us in clothes we designed and screen-printed ourselves.

“The seed for our book was sown when Sarah came to me with a poem she wrote for our three little boys.

“I knew we needed to

create something tangible they could cherish and carry with them for a lifetime, so I spent a few months illustrating it with the boys approving every page.

“After a fertility journey and a long struggle with Sarah’s mental health, our children came into our lives at the perfect time.

“We found our purpose in raising three wonderful little boys, and the book is our way of thanking them for all they have given us.”

Alex and Sarah decided to go down the self-publishing route and chose Amazon’s print-on-demand service to print it, which turned out to be far easier than the couple expected.

“The process has been exceptionally rewarding and we've had many moments to celebrate, like holding our book for the first time, making our first overseas sale and being accepted into the local Book Warehouse.”

There have been many highlights in the process too.

“From reading it to our sons for the first time or having others share why this book is special to them - whether it was a journey through IVF or just a bedtime story that gets them a little choked up - we are honoured q There’s A Reason You Are Here is now available in The Book Warehouse, Coffs Harbour.

to have a piece of us invited into homes all over the world.”

Alex’s mum grew up on a farm in Bellingen but moved to Canberra where both he and Sarah were born.

“We often came here when we were teenagers and said we'd love to live here one day.

“We're now on the family farm in Bellingen and our kids are the sixth generation here.” q The Short family – Alex, the illustrator and Sarah, the writer.

Sunday afternoon Paint and Sip

By David WIGLEY

PAINT and Sip is sweeping the Coffs Coast as the popular activity is popping up at pubs and clubs across the region.

Paint and Sip is all about bringing the fun back into painting, as event leader Sarah Lyttle explained.

“It’s about enjoying painting no matter if you’re an expert or a complete beginner.

“There’s no pressure to get it right, it's all about enjoying the activity in a fun atmosphere.

“Paint and Sip can be a

great way to meet new people or spend time with family doing something different together,” said Sarah.

Andrea Austin said she enjoys the family appeal as she painted a phoenix with husband Dale and son Alfred.

“I like it because even though I am a creative person I am the least artistic person I know, I have drawn koalas that look like rats.

“These sessions take you step by step through the process and even I ended up with something to be happy with.

“Because everyone is in

the same boat there is no pressure to make it perfect, it's very social and good for a giggle.

“It’s great for kids to see adults accepting imperfection and still giving it a go, even though it is in a pub it’s a wonderful family experience.

“Now what to do with three paintings of a phoenix?” she laughed.

As the hospitality industry recovers from lockdowns and restrictions, Paint and Sip has been welcomed by publicans as it introduces new clientele to the venue, Sarah said.

“We most often hold our paint parties during the quietest times of their week, not only bringing in extra

and blood services.

The Humanitarian Services Division selfreported to the Fair Work Ombudsman in 2018 that it had underpaid employees across Australia after identifying underpayments during an internal review.

The underpayments largely occurred due to the Red Cross applying the incorrect award or enterprise agreement to employees and incorrectly classifying employees as award free, resulting in the underpayment of a wide range of minimum rates and entitlements.

The Humanitarian Services Division underpayments affected more

than 10,000 employees, and it is estimated they may have been underpaid more than $22 million between 2012 and 2021.

Affected employees were located across all States and territories and were primarily engaged in clerical, aged care, disaster response and support, disability support, and social and community service work.

The investigation by the FWO following the initial selfreport led to the discovery of the underpayments in the ‘Lifeblood’ Division, which occurred as a result of the Red Cross incorrectly believing some employees were outside the coverage of the relevant Lifeblood enterprise

agreements.

As a result, up to 1,160 Lifeblood employees were underpaid various leave entitlements, shift work loadings, public holiday loadings, overtime, redundancy entitlements, superannuation and minimum rates of pay between 2010 and 2021, totalling over $3.5 million.

In total, it is estimated that Red Cross has underpaid more than 11,000 current and former employees more than $25 million.

Individual underpayments range from less than $100 to more than $20,000.

By Emma DARBIN THE Australian Red Cross Society has been found to have underpaid staff members around the country more than $25 million.

On Friday 5 November it was announced that the Australian Red Cross had entered into two Enforceable Undertakings (EUs) with the Fair Work Ombudsman and it is estimated the organisation will back-pay employees over $25 million.

“Often it's the pubs that approach me as they've seen the benefits of the parties on outcome as the not-for-profit organisation had cooperated and demonstrated a strong commitment to rectifying underpayments.

“Under the two Enforceable Undertakings, the Red Cross has committed to stringent measures to comply with the law and protect its workforce,” Ms Parker said.

“This includes engaging, at its own cost, an expert auditing firm to check its workplace law compliance for the next two to three years.

“This matter serves as a warning to all employers, particularly those in the not-for-profit sector, that if you don’t prioritise the lawful payment of your staff, you risk underpaying them on a large scale and face significant additional costs of

The Red Cross has backpaid employees more than $10 million to date.

The Humanitarian Services Division EU requires the organisation to pay the remaining amounts owing to every affected employee, plus interest and superannuation, by 21 February 2022.

Under the EUs, the Red Cross is also required to fund an independent company to operate a Hotline to assist its employees and commission workplace relations training for staff.

The FWO said any employers who need help meeting their workplace obligations should contact them for free advice, and workers should contact them with any concerns at 13 13 94 or www.fairwork.gov.au.

Twilight Travels concert

By Andrea FERRARI

TWILIGHT Travels – A Musical World Adventure, is a collaborative concert by Coffs Harbour City Orchestra and Bellingen Big Band to be presented at Coffs Harbour Botanic Gardens on Sunday 20 November at 5pm.

“Together, the orchestra and the band will present a fabulous collection of music from around the world,” Josh Jeremy from the City Orchestra told News Of The Area.

“The Orchestra will take you on a musical magic carpet from the effervescent pride of Nordic nationalism with Jean Sibelius' Finlandia, to a stop in Spain and music

by French composer Georges Bizet with his lauded Carmen Suite and more.

“Get your groove on

with the Big Band who will transport you to vibrant Latin America with wistful tunes like ‘Girl from Ipanema’ by Brazilian composer Antônio Jobim.”

Both groups are excited to be back together and invigorated following a hiatus owing to COVIDrelated restrictions.

Tim Egan, Orchestra Musical and Artistic Director said, “It’s great to finally present a concert for the people of Coffs Harbour.

“We all understand the difficult time everyone has been through and now it’s time to celebrate with live music making a comeback.

“Our Twilight Travels theme was borne from COVID restrictions that limited physical travel.

“We thought we would transport the audience

around the world with the gift of music.

“It is fantastic to have the Bellingen Big Band on board; this will be an event not to miss,” Tim said.

Voices Within Anthology

‘VOICES Within’ a Story Book by Storytellers, an anthology of eight Mid North Coast storytellers collated by Simona Galimberti, has been sent to the publishers.

The anthology is one hundred pages of letters, stories, poems, photos and author biographies.

The topics range from fireflies to waterfall jumps, a homage to the seasons, clowns in a bank, relationships ending to them healing once again

and the power of breaking ancestral patterns.

Authors include Lee Rickwood, Dorin Hart, Helen Lambert, John Shuttleworth, Jon L. Shuttleworth, Rachel Faith and Eleanor Sharman and Nick Vale from Affirmations Publishing House which also sponsored the book.

Ms Galimberti started the project in 2021 after inspiration from a Bellingen Council storytelling event at the local library.

“It just happened to be at a perfect time because we couldn't gather.”

Ms Galimberti compiled the book and wrote the introduction “I consider myself a provider of a platform,” she said.

“When it comes to myself writing and publishing it’s not something I do often but I prefer to call myself a story collector,” she told News of The Area.

She described the pieces which were a response to the theme of self empowerment and realisation as transformation, overcoming

‘A few small plants on the surface of a pool soon multiply for an interesting appearance.

‘Remove excess plants from time to time with a net…

The Weedwise website entry further echoes this information, adding that, ‘Azolla is often grown in paddy fields in Asia as a fertiliser’.

“So, the story of the mysterious carpet is definitely not over yet,” said Angela.

“We can, however, confidently report that Rick Ackland, Curator of the Botanic Garden, is actively investigating options for controlling the spread of this unwanted visitor.

“Until a feasible solution is found we will have to wait patiently for the next chapter.

“Will the solution be the use of chemical poisons…or will it be physical removal… or changes to the flow of the water…or the construction of a Windmill driven agitator system?”

The beautiful new Glasshouse is also a point of contention for Friends of the garden, frustrated to see the new building surrounds looking like a construction site some four months after completion.

Angela explains that while Coffs Harbour City Council was responsible for the building, the fit-out is down to the Friends of NCRBG. “Planning is in progress, deciding where the shelves and plants are going, even what plants are going in there.

“It’s a slowly, slowly process and we do ask our visitors to be patient.”

Angela suggests the new Botanists Walk is a beautiful place to take visitors while the works are in progress.

Corindi Beach cricketer plays her first games in the WBBL

By Aiden BURGESS

ANIKA Learoyd has played her first few games in the best domestic women’s cricket competition in the world.

The Corindi Beach cricketer has been part of the Sydney Thunder squad who have taken part in the current season of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL).

The 19-year-old has played 6 matches for the Thunder this season, scoring 58 runs against some of the best women's players in the world Learoyd made an instant impact in her first game for the Thunder scoring 23 runs in their opening game of the season against the Adelaide Strikers last month.

Learoyd was first signed by the Thunder in 2020, and while she was named in the starting XI for two matches that season, they were both washouts meaning she had to wait until this year to make

her WBBL debut.

After waiting a whole season to make her WBBL debut, she shared with News Of The Area the excitement she felt taking the field for her first game.

“I certainly was pumped, and although I didn't play last year, I still managed to learn a lot throughout the duration of the tournament, so to be able to finally put it all into practice was very surreal,” she said.

The Thunder rookie explained the big step up to the WBBL after playing in the NSW Women’s Premier Cricket competition.

“There are a few big differences, the first being that the WBBL is a much higher standard and is therefore also much more professional,” she said.

“We have a number of scouting meetings where we discuss the other team’s strengths and weaknesses and our plans against them.

44 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

“The calibre of players is also another big one, it is the world's highest quality women’s domestic tournament and has a number of international players playing for each team.”

With a number of WBBL matches under her belt, the young batswoman said she was starting to feel like she belonged at the top level.

“I do have a few pinch myself type moments and am very grateful that I’ve had the opportunity to be able to go out and play against my idols,” she said.

“I’m also beginning to get the feeling like I belong too.”

Having grown up in Corindi Beach, the talented prospect recalled her busy weekends travelling to play cricket which no doubt helped to make her the player she is today.

“Dad used to drive me the 1200km round trip every weekend,” she said.

“We’d go down to

a lot better and will have some strike players back for the Coffs tournament so the job isn’t over,” said Gilbert.

Marlins president Chris Rowthorne applauded the teamwork required in the shorter, faster format of the game.

“Marlins men and women had great teamwork, 7s is a different game with different tactics required.

“There is a wave of excitement for this series and it’s great that the teams win equal prize money for men and women.

“The winners of both events receive $1,500 and runners up $500 so there’s everything to play for,” said Chris.

Sawtell wins grand final rematch in Premier League T20

By Aiden BURGESS

SAWTELL and the Northern Districts Rebels were the two standout teams of last season’s North Coast Cricket Council’s Premier League season.

The two teams played off in both the Premier League grand final and the final of the Premier League’s T20 competition, with Sawtell taking out both grand finals.

The two sides met

for the first time since last season’s grand final, during the latest round of the Premier League’s T20 competition at Richardson Park.

Sawtell won its second match in a row to start the T20 competition, on the back of a dominant bowling performance to win by 54 runs.

Chasing 140 for victory, the Rebels were instantly in trouble thanks to Sawtell

captain Richie Gallichan whose spin bowling had them bamboozled, picking up the first two wickets in the first over to have the Rebels reeling at 2/0.

Gallichan took three of the first four wickets of the match to have the Rebels in deep trouble early.

The defending T20 Premier League champions would bowl out the Rebels for 85, with Gallichan taking 3/13 from his 3 overs and

Trent Dierick and Jake McMillan both taking two wickets each.

Rebels captain Taj Dosanjh played a lone hand for his side top scoring with 53 from 35 balls.

Sawtell opened the batting and got off to a flyer to be 1/60 after the first 6 overs, thanks to opener Gallichan hitting 37 from 26 balls and Trent Dierick scoring 38 from 27 balls.

Sawtell captain Richie Gallichan praised the efforts of his champion side.

a really good performance and we feel like we’re pretty balanced and we’re giving the young guys a run,” he said.

“Charlie Howard is already one of the best bowlers in the region at 16, and Trent Dierick’s form with the bat has been spectacular,” he said.

Sawtell’s great start with both the bat and ball were the keys to victory according to Gallichan.

“We were 1/60 after 6 overs and we had the Rebels at 4/25 after 6 overs, so we started well both times.”

The Sawtell captain shared with News Of The Area the importance of focusing on his team’s efforts in the field, which saw his side practicing drills before they took to the field to bowl.

“It’s about focusing on the small things, and we focus on short sharp fielding skills,” he said.

“We feel that if we can be at our best in the field then the batting and bowling will flow on from there.”

Rebels captain Taj Dosanjh was pleased with his side's top start to the season.

“It was good to get the Day 1 win, and the wicket was providing plenty of assistance early on,” he said.

Valleys Cricket are also in a commanding position after the opening

day of their match against Harwood at Phillip Hughes Oval.

Valleys finished the day declaring on 9/268, thanks largely to a brilliant knock from Brodie Bartlett who finished on 105 for the first century of the new season.

Harry Bird also made a valuable contribution finishing on 51 while Sam Elder scored 48.

Valleys Defeat the Colts in T20 Premier League

By David WIGLEY

VALLEYS Cricket notched up another win in the T20 Premier League last Thursday evening defeating the Coffs Coast Colts at the Coffs Harbour Sport and Leisure Park.

Valleys captain Trent Statham from Dorrigo won the toss and elected to bat on a quick outfield where they raced to 140 runs for 4 wickets.

It was another fine performance for Sam Elder

who was the Valleys top scorer with an undefeated 49 runs off 41 balls with Brodie Bartlett hitting 38 runs off 29 balls.

Valleys batsman Justin Gilbert from Dorrigo praised bowlers Ben Pierce and Will Mckinnes.

“A great win for us, Ben Pierce bowled great getting five wickets and young Will McKinnes getting five wickets,” said Justin.

The Colts started strongly with Maurice Stokes taking the first wicket with a good

catch from wicketkeeper Tony Slaviero to dismiss opening batsman Ben Pierce.

Fourteen year old James Lobb continued the momentum dismissing danger man Harry Bird with a catch from Maurice Stokes but it was the Valleys middle order that took control from there on.

The future looks bright for the Colts as another fourteen year old shined with Patrick Rose recording the team’s best bowling economy rate.

Top junior players named in Northern Heat representative program

By Aiden BURGESS

NORTH Coast’s best junior Australian Rules footballers have been selected into the 2021/22 Northern Heat representative program.

An initial 30 players from the North Coast and North West regions have been selected into the representative program, including the first ever group of Under 15s players.

As a result of COVID restrictions, not all players were able to put their names forward at the same time.

This means squad selections will be managed on a rolling basis, with the first 30 players having been selected and others to be added as the program gets underway.

The program includes video analysis, strength and conditioning training, and match play against the age group teams of the Southport Sharks club that competes in the VFL. Based on the success of the Under 17 program since it was introduced three years ago, the decision was made to add an Under 15 squad this

season.

This means double the opportunities for players from the North Coast and North West to develop themselves and take their game to the next level through their involvement in the summer program.

AFL North Coast Community Football Manager Paul Taylor said that the selected players will have to make a big commitment

during the offseason.

“The Heat is an off-season program where we have to do plenty of travel just to get to training sessions where we know the conditions will be hot and draining,” he said.

“A lot of our program is delivered through personal programs where the players have to commit to doing the work outside of structured training sessions.

q Diggers captain Jonathon Paff was all smiles as the reigning Division One Premiers won their opening match.

really happy with how young Jacob Cross bowled, Ty and I both got three wickets which was good. “(In terms of) batting it was good to see Kieren Cunningham get runs in his call up to first grade he could be key for us,” said Jonathon.

Diggers Secretary Greg Swan told News Of The Area,

“After losing the toss and being sent to field it was a strong start for Diggers with the ball, Ty Adam’s taking 3/7 of his four overs, the captain Jonathon Paff taking 3/7 off his three overs and young Jacob Cross getting two wickets at just 14 years of age.

“Chasing 75 to win the

runs came quickly with Kirean Cunningham scoring 28 off just 24 deliveries.

“Valleys have a very young side which will certainly improve with more game time,” said Greg.

The Diggers’ next match is against Sawtell on Saturday 13 November at Fitzroy Oval with a 12:30pm start.

The first green was set with lawn bowls skills.

We did this for an hour practising all kinds of situations we would play.

The second green was all set up with all sorts of different games and different balls from table tennis balls and bats to balls the size of basketballs with tricks that we had to complete and an overall score was kept for the day.

Winners were J Hinchley and J Hampstead, runners up S Bracher and V O’Brien.

A quick reminder Woolgoolga has Twilight Bowls on every Thursday Night with music, nibbles and raffles be there by 5.30 for a 6pm start.

Don’t they say watch the quiet ones?

Well they both are extremely quiet.

Sadly Judi Rowe and Izzy Pettit were defeated on the day but not disgraced by any means.

Urunga is growing some very talented Minor players and we wish them all the best.

This Saturday will see Leslie and Leanne play Pammy Watson and young Wendy Hodges (when Wendy’s hot she’s hot), so come on down and

see who becomes the 2021 Minor Pairs for 2021.

All those who played over the weeks have done themselves proud and it’s wonderful for our little club to see such enthusiasm.

Urunga held their AGM on Sunday and congratulations go to Jo Bathgate returning to the very important role of President, wishing her and her new team all the best throughout the year and may all of us enjoy a more relaxed

year with Covid taking a holiday.

Although things are winding down towards the end of year and with our brilliant greenkeeper (Danny) and staff pulling out the top green, Urunga still welcomes all to play triples on Tuesday morning, Friday morning, as well as our ever popular twilight bowls on Wednesday afternoon starting at 5pm.

Take care and stay safe everyone.

HOT WATER

MICHAEL KELLY

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

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

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

When You Call Us We Turn Up!

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

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

ProMX revving up Friday, 12 November 2021

By Aiden BURGESS

AUSTRALIA’S best motocross riders are set to race in Coffs Harbour next year.

Coffs Harbour will host a round of the 2022 Australian Penrite ProMX Championship; an eight-round series held across Australia.

Coffs Harbour Motorcycle Club will host Round 6 of the championship series on Sunday, 24 July.

The Australian Penrite ProMX Championship is the premier motocross championship in Australia, and has a long- standing reputation as one of the leading domestic championships in the world.

The championship series has acted as a successful development program for young Australian riders to land in international series, with a strong contingent of Australian riders currently competing in the MXGP and AMA Motocross series.

Provider #PR-40000780

The Coffs Harbour event will feature a big day of racing at the Coffs Harbour Motocross track, featuring Australia’s best MX1, MX2, and MX3 riders battling it out in practice, qualifying and racing.

Coffs Harbour Motorcycle Club president Ben Blanchette explained to News Of The Area the big coup of hosting such a prestigious event.

“It’s big news for us and you don’t get better than this,” he said.

“We upgraded our facilities to meet the criteria and we were successful in our bid to host a round of the championship.

“This event will be televised for an audience of at least half a million viewers, and feature champions from Australia and world class riders from the US and Europe.

“This will put Coffs Harbour on the national map, and it's like getting the Australian Rally Championship.

“It will be absolutely great for the local economy as a lot of people will travel from outside the area to spectate.

“And the local riders are ecstatic as they get the chance to try to qualify and race against Australia’s best.”

Blanchette said hosting the ProMX round was part of working with Council to promote Coffs Harbour as a tourist destination.

“We are working in conjunction with Coffs Harbour City Council to
