Before the opening, five-year-old Eli said, ”Language is my favourite thing at school.

Savannah, who is seven said, “We get to go on Country lots of times”, while her favourite school activity so far has been a trip to The Big Banana.

She said that maths was her favourite subject, learning about patterns, colours and shapes.

Giingana Freedom School Officially Opens FROM Page 1 Ellie Buchanan, the Gumbaynggirr language teacher, said, “All of the children love language and it’s great to see them being so proud of their culture.

She said when teaching about culture, “There are aspects of reconnecting with our elders and how that looks in the modern world.”

During the Welcome to Country, Uncle Alex Webb said, “Kids are still being taken away because we don’t have the cultural grounding in our community.”

He said the Giingana Freedom School will go a long way towards fixing this problem.

Aunty Jenny Skinner talked about the Save the Children School set up in the late 60’s, where some Gumbaynggirr language and culture was taught The school moved around until it received land from the government, which is now the Kulai Preschool site.

The NSW Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Ben Franklin, confirmed with the audience of almost one hundred people that the school is the first bilingual school with an Aboriginal language in the history of NSW. He said it is appropriate that it is opening at the beginning of the International Year of Indigenous Languages and said, “A strong sense of identity and pride in culture can change a young person’s life.”

Mr Franklin said the NSW government acknowledges the harm done to Aboriginal people and he apologised for that.

He said the school is truly special and important and he looked forward to returning as the school grows.

Tahnee Philp, the class teacher and the MC at the opening said, “My true desire has always been to return home to the area and teach in an environment that not only supports our students in an education sense but ensures our kids strive, drive and excel in education and culture.”

Clark Webb, the Executive Officer of the Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation (BMNAC) and the driving force behind the school thanked all those who helped make the school possible.

He promised the community that their children will have an amazing education that would ground them in their culture and enable them to excel academically.

Gurmesh Singh, the Member for Coffs Harbour said, as a bilingual speaker, “If you want to pass on your culture to future generations then doing it in language is crucial.”

Uncle Gary Williams told the audience there was a push from old people to protect Gumbaynggirr language in the 80’s and the first classes were held in 1997-98 in a church in Nambucca.

He said that now the language is not only being spoken, but it’s being thought about.

NSW Koala Strategy “This $193.3 million NSW Koala Strategy is the biggest financial commitment by any government to secure the future of koalas in the wild,” Mr Griffin said.

“In fact, this is the largest investment in any single species in Australia, and demonstrates how committed we are to conservation and achieving our goal of doubling koala numbers by 2050.

“We know there are multiple threats to koalas, including loss and fragmentation of their habitat, compounded by the impact of the devastating

2019–20 bushfires, as well as vehicle strike and dog attack,” Mr Griffin said.

The Strategy focuses on conservation actions under four themes. $107.1 million is set aside for koala habitat conservation, to fund the protection, restoration, and improved management of 47,000 hectares of koala habitat, $19.6 million for supporting local communities to conserve koalas, 23.2 million for improving the safety and health of koalas by removing threats, improving health and rehabilitation, and establishing a translocation program and $43.4 million

to support science and research to build our knowledge of koalas.

“This strategy will better secure ten climate resilient koala stronghold locations from the Southern Tablelands to Campbelltown and Lismore, which will receive intensive action in the next five years to support the existing populations there,” Mr Griffin said.

“Some of these actions include preventing vehicle strikes and dog attacks, and restoring and protecting 47,000 additional hectares of habitat.”

A key part of the Koala Strategy involves establishing partnerships with conservation groups and communities which

include partnering with Taronga Conservation Society Australia to restore more than 5,000 hectares of Box Gum grassy woodlands around the Western Slopes of the Great Dividing Range, partnering with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Australia to protect 500 hectares of high quality koala habitat on private land under conservation agreements across the Northern Rivers region through the Biodiversity Conservation Trust and working with volunteer wildlife rehabilitators, vets and other partner organisations to enhance coordination of emergency response for koalas and other wildlife due to

bushfire or extreme weather events.

Mr Griffin said, “We all want to see koalas thrive in the wild for generations to come, and everyone, including land managers, local councils, wildlife carers, citizen scientists and the NSW Government needs to be involved.

“Protecting and restoring habitat will also support other threatened and endangered species, such as powerful owls and glossy black cockatoos.”

Nature Conservation Council Chief Executive Chris Gambian said, “Minister Griffin has shown good leadership in releasing the NSW Koala Strategy.

“It’s time for the rest

of the government to get behind him and sort out the land clearing rules.

“This strategy aims to protect 47,000 hectares of koala habitat over five years, while we’re currently losing 38,000 hectares of native vegetation each year to land clearing and logging. It’s a losing battle.

“The NSW Koala Strategy is welcome – particularly funds to purchase important koala habitat but the key habitats of the Mid North coast could be protected with the stroke of a pen,” Mr Gambian said.

“It’s time for the Great Koala National Park.”

The Koala Strategy can be found at environment. nsw.gov.au/koalas.

A MAN was ordered to face court on Saturday, charged following a police operation on the state’s Mid North Coast on Friday.

Hanabeth Luke Shocked By Budget Independent candidate for Page Dr Hanabeth Luke was hopeful that the pre-election Federal budget would address key areas of immediate support for people affected by floods.

By Andrew VIVIAN

INDEPENDENT candidate for Page Dr Hanabeth Luke was hopeful that the preelection Federal budget would address key areas of immediate support for people affected by floods.

However, she says that the region has been ignored and what is needed most was missed.

She said that short-term handouts were favoured over addressing the housing crisis or improving our preparedness for future extreme events.

Dr Luke said, “As the eighth poorest electorate in Australia, we know that our community was already struggling.

“There appears to be an expectation that our people

should rebuild and just get on with it.

“To fix this, we must first properly identify the problem.

“We are facing a housing crisis at the same time as a climate crisis and the whole region needs to prepare for what comes next.”

Dr Luke said she was shocked when the recent budget announcement saw fossil fuels come before welfare funding, a fact she believes reiterates that the Government’s priorities are not supporting the region’s needs.

“A budget cut for alreadystruggling teachers in public schools was coupled with a huge boost for private schools,” she said.

Dr Luke said that, for the vast majority in Page,

no wage increase is on the horizon and a significant reduction in Centrelink benefits was coupled with an estimated $4-5 billion thrown at coal and gas.

She said that the LNP’s version of ‘climate action’ continues to be a trojan horse for coal seam gas, while not one dollar was allocated for a Federal integrity commission.

“Their management of our public purse is nothing short of reckless and it’s time that the Australian public take back control of the purse strings by electing an Independent who votes for us, and the needs of our region,” she said.

“We need at least $2.5 billion put towards this recovery for housing alone and we also need to invest in

Still cleaning up from the previous deluge, the people of Lismore, Grafton and surrounds had to brace themselves for further flooding into homes, businesses and farms.

“The farmers have shown me the impacts of the floods on their farms,” Dr

Luke said.

“There will be no sugar cane harvest from those farms next year.

“We need to bring the community and experts into the conversation, including architects, town planners, hydrologists, engineers, farmers and developers.

“Let’s think innovatively

and together we can plan for a future where our people and regional businesses can prosper and cope better with what is to come.”

The office of the Member for Page, Kevin Hogan, was contacted for comment, but, owing to flood issues, did not provide a response before publication.

ANZAC Day Commemorations ANZAC Day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915.

It is the day we remember all Australians who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations.

The spirit of ANZAC, with its human qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity.

ANZAC Day is a national public holiday and is considered one of the most spiritual and solemn days of the year in Australia.

On ANZAC Day, ceremonies are held in towns and cities across the nation to acknowledge the service of our veterans.

These events are generally followed by social gatherings of veterans, often including a traditional Australian gambling game called ‘two up’, which was an extremely popular

pastime with ANZAC soldiers.

In these ways, ANZAC Day is a time when Australians reflect on the many different meanings of war.

Urunga RSL sub-Branch Subject to COVID restrictions, the Urunga RSL SubBranch will commence the day with the Dawn Service at the Cenotaph at 6.30 am, followed by the traditional Gunfire breakfast at C.ex Urunga.

The main ceremony will commence with a march along Bowra Street to the Cenotaph for a Service commencing at 11am. Veterans, school and community groups will assemble at Spar Supermarket at 10.45am.

“A lunch will then be held at C.ex Urunga for Veterans and families, followed by the traditional game of ‘two up’,” said Barb Piggott, Secretary / Treasurer, Urunga RSL sub-Branch.

“Tickets for the lunch should be collected from C.ex Urunga

by Wednesday 20 April 2022.

“For all Service members, ex-Service members and War Widows there is no cost for the meal and for guests wishing to attend tickets can be purchased for $25.00.”

The Urunga community are once again invited to attend all activities on the day and there will be an opportunity to lay floral tributes – please contact the Secretary if you wish to lay a tribute so your details can be added to the Order of Service.

Further details, if required, can be obtained from Secretary, Barb Piggott, at urungasb@rslnsw.org.au.

Sawtell RSL sub-Branch Dawn Service commences in the Lyle Rose RSL Memorial Park in Fourth Avenue at 6.00am. The main Service will commence after

the street procession down First Avenue and back to the Lyle Rose RSL Memorial Park.

“The street procession is open to all veterans and school children, and in particular, veterans of the later conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq are invited to lead this procession,” said Dallas Burrage, Sawtell RSL sub-Branch Secretary.

“Coffs Harbour Veteran and Vintage car club will be available to transport infirmed veterans who find the walking uncomfortable.

“The procession will commence at 11am sharp.

“Unfortunately, this year, the Bellinger River District Pipe band is unable to form and lead the march.

“If anyone is able to assist the sub-Branch by marching with the veterans group with a side drum to keep pace, it would be greatly appreciated.

“A luncheon is available

Greens Name Page Candidate

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Greens have officially announced their Federal candidate for Page as Kashmir Miller, alongside NSW Upper House MP Abigail Boyd and candidate for Cowper Tim Nott.

Ms Miller is a fifthgeneration Northern Rivers woman currently studying law, and well-known locally as a passionate advocate for youth, social justice, and the environment.

She said, “We need a government that is prepared to act seriously on climate change and the devastating effects of extreme weather events, and immediately legislate towards net zero by 2030.”

Ms Miller states that “the latest IPCC report has shown that without addressing the challenges of climate change, life as we know it is at stake”.

“At this election, we can put the Greens in the balance of power and get

Scott Morrison and the Coalition out.

“If we don’t act now, we are on track for more climate catastrophes and an unlivable world.

“Only The Greens have fought consistently on climate change, for donations reform and a Federal ICAC, to have dental and mental health included in Medicare, and affordable education for all Australians.”

Ms Miller considers job security and employment for young people to be a huge issue throughout regional areas such as Woolgoolga and Coffs Harbour.

She said, “We must create sustainable employment opportunities to bring locals above the poverty line.”

Ms Millar says, by voting for her in the House of Representatives, and David Shoebridge in the Senate, you can be sure they won’t be influenced

by coal and gas donors or big corporations, and the electorate gets the benefits

of a party that is already achieving significant change in Parliament.

Labor Candidate For Page Slams Lack Of Support For Flood Victims

By Andrew VIVIAN PATRICK Deegan, the Labor Candidate For Page in the upcoming Federal Election has slammed the Federal Government for failing to deliver to a JobSeeker support package for local businesses in the Northern Rivers He said that the unprecedented back-to-backflood crisis has affected business across Northern NSW. In Lismore the floods have decimated the CBD and the industrial area of South and North Lismore – taking out the

region’s primary business district and its economic engine.

Mr Deegan said, “Right across the region businesses have been wiped out – in towns like Kyogle, Coraki, Woodburn, Broadwater and Wardell.

“Many businesses will be unable to trade for months, and many of those may not be able to survive,” he said.

According to Mr Deegan, without

a JobKeeper-style support package, the Northern Rivers faces an economic tsunami on top of the devastating flood crisis.

He said the shortage of jobs, and the shortage of housing, will force many people to move out of the region.

Mr Deegan said, “Unions, businesses, and local Mayors have joined my call for a Federally-funded wage subsidy for disaster-affected areas.”

He said his Nationals opponent, the sitting Member for Page, Kevin Hogan, also said he supported the proposal and had already been lobbying on the issue.

However, the Federal Budget however did not contain any mention of a wage subsidy for businesses impacted by the catastrophic floods.

Mr Deegan said, “Our communities need action, not empty words.

“The Government’s failure to deliver a JobKeeper package will increase the likelihood that workers will become disconnected from their employers, businesses will struggle to reopen, and jobs will be lost, never to return.”

The office of the Member for Page, Kevin Hogan, was contacted for comment, but, owing to flood issues, did not respond prior to publication.

By Andrea FERRARI

GURMESH Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour, is the new Chair for the NSW Parliamentary Friends of Landcare (PFL) group.

The PFL brings together Members of Parliament from all political parties who have a common interest in supporting the goals of Landcare.

Landcare NSW CEO Turlough Guerin said, “The PFL provides an avenue for Members of Parliament to connect with and offer support to Landcare at the

state level and locally in suburbs, regional towns and farming communities.

“It is an acknowledgement of the enormous contribution of the many thousands of ‘hands on’ community Landcarers across NSW who are committed to looking after their environments.

“Together our volunteers work to conserve our unique flora and fauna, restore our soils and waterways, and promote the adoption of sustainable land management practices.”

q Gurmesh Singh talking with Jetty Dunecare’s Jane Ireland after she received her State Landcare Award.

Red Cross says Thank You Woolgoolga

By Andrea FERRARI

A BIG thank you goes to the Woolgoolga community from Woolgoolga Red Cross for their incredible generosity in donating to the Flood Relief and Red Cross Calling appeals in 2022.

Without actual door knocking due to Covid restrictions, Woolgoolga has none-the-less donated $6,342 to the Flood Relief plus $4,187 to Red Cross Calling appeals.

The Red Cross Calling money is vital to help fund Red Cross’ humanitarian work throughout the year.

“Donations are particularly important this year as 2022 is the third year in a row that Red Cross has not been able to conduct its annual door knock appeal,” fundraising coordinator Judy

Boyle told News Of The Area.

“Donations help ensure that older and isolated people have someone check on them regularly, help young people navigate the justice system, or feed a family in need.

“Flood Appeal donations are helping provide urgent humanitarian support to communities affected by floods, including where many thousands of dwellings were destroyed or severely damaged.”

Red Cross emergency services personnel have volunteered for more than 1800 hours and helped over 19,500 community members at 35 evacuation centres and sixteen recovery hubs throughout affected areas.

“As well as using money donated from Woolgoolga Lions to provide personal

hygiene packs to victims, Woolgoolga Red Cross members have been volunteering at the Grafton Recovery Centre.

“Their role is to register individuals, provide mental health support by listening to their stories, helping them apply for grants and supporting them to access assistance from other agencies, many of whom are represented at the centres.

“Locally raised Flood Relief donations will be used to support flood victims now and for many months to come as recovery can take a long time.

“So far $15.2 million has been donated and based on needs assessments, this money will be used to facilitate long term recovery work, provide response to

Railway needs is feedback from the general public and interested business investors to move forward with this project.

This data will assist Glenreagh Mountain Railway to move this project forward to the next step for the full operations of Rail Bikes.

The Glenreagh Mountain Railway has also been impacted by the recent flooding events, but is seeking to turn this into a positive.

There has been major damage to the infrastructure at the Glenreagh end of the line as well as a small mud slip near Lowanna.

The section of railway track between Tallawudjah Creek and Moleton suffered some major damage and the Railway staff couldn’t believe the power of the floods that tossed large numbers of 250kg concrete sleepers and sections of rail downstream, twisting them around trees as if they were plastic pipes.

Further up the hill large landslides and damage to this section brings into question how stable the track is for any future heavy rail vehicles.

The damage at Lowanna is minor and Glenreagh Mountain Railway is applying for Disaster Funding for these repairs.

This has created an opportunity to create a Nature Trail on a section of land from Glenreagh to Moleton.

A Nature Trail will allow for both bicycles and walkers to explore the rainforest, both tunnels and amazing views of that section of track and will generate income and employment for the local community and provide a tourist draw card to the North Coast.

As the land manager for this land, the Glenreagh Mountain Railway is keen to hear from interested parties or businesses who wish to be involved in a steering

Opportunities for Glenreagh Mountain Railway

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Glenreagh Mountain Railway has opportunities for business partners to join in on two initiatives.

The Railway has announced the release of a concept plan to have Rail Bikes operating in the Coffs Coast Hinterland.

These bikes will be the first of their kind in Australia, and are based on successful operations internationally.

The Rail Bikes will come with E-Bike power assist which is commonly found in many modern bikes as well as having safety features to enable a safe and comfortable ride for passengers.

Glenreagh Mountain Railway has completed the hard work and the route has been chosen and design features are based around plug and play to reduce maintenance as well as down time.

Woopi Lions donate to newborns

By Andrea FERRARI THE latest donation by Woolgoolga Lions Club has gone to the Coffs Harbour Health Campus to support the tiniest members of the community…newborn babies.

With a host of generous donations to fund hospital equipment, Woolgoolga Lions has now presented $20,493.06 worth of equipment to the hospital’s postnatal service, where midwives visit mums and bubs at home.

The donation included two jaundice meters, two breast pumps and two ophthalmoscopes, which are used to detect congenital cataracts and other abnormalities.

Midwifery Group Practice Manager Connie Greenwood said the donation was a gamechanger for the service, which provides continuity of care to women by the same midwife – from early pregnancy, throughout labour, until the baby is six weeks old.

“This is a wonderfully generous gift that supports our service, supports our mothers and their babies,” said Connie.

“The jaundice meters enable us to screen newborns in their home for jaundice and accelerate care and treatment of what can be a serious health issue if not detected.

“The ophthalmoscopes vastly improve outcomes for bubs through early identification of potential concerns.

“The portable breast pumps are helping mums who have had a premature baby through the early days and weeks of their breastfeeding experiences.

“Being able to access this up-to-date equipment means these newborns are still able to benefit from breast milk and the antibodies it contains that help fight off viruses and infection.”

Mike Mellefont, Lions Club of Woolgoolga, told News Of The Area, “The Lions Club of Woolgoolga has for many years supported the Coffs Harbour Hospital with donations of medical equipment.

“We have shared this around various units such as Paediatrics, Renal, Rehab, Emergency Department, Cancer and so this time we thought that the Maternity Unit could surely do with some support.

“We have now donated $179,662 to the hospital over the last seven years.

“Fundraising is mainly done through our operation of the Woolgoolga Waste Transfer Station (WTS) under contract to Coffs Harbour City Council who are very supportive of the Lions Club.

“This however has only been possible because of the 30 or so community volunteers who give up their time to assist the Club every weekend.

“Attending the presentation and listening to the nursing staff gives us so much pride and pleasure to know that we and our

“It makes all that hard

work so worthwhile,” he said.

and Tammy Mills-Thom have collaborated and created this artistdriven public, free, community event.

To be held on the first Sunday of every month, in the peaceful surrounds of the Botanic Gardens in Coffs Harbour, the group’s simple aim is to bring art to the people, and vice versa, people to art.

The inaugural Artists Showcase will be on Sunday 1 May and runs from 12-noon until 4pm.

“Artists are invited to showcase their work – whether it be visual art,

spoken word or performance based.

“The event is unplugged and is free to both participants and visitors to the Garden.

“Each month will see a different event schedule, dependent upon the artists who register.

“The activities could be as diverse as an artist presentation and talk about their works, a discussion on an artistic process, collaborative painting, or a tutored life drawing session,” James P Gilmour said.

“It really is about people meeting artists directly and enjoying all that art offers in a

relaxing setting.”

Tammy added, “There are a host of creative people in the area.

“This event will give people direct access to artists plus allow artistic dialogue, synergy and connection.

“It is so simple to register interest – the easiest way is to like on Facebook, ‘Artists in The Garden’, and complete the jotform which is attached to every post.”

The location and timing is included on the Facebook group page.

The event is completely free to artists and the public.

Participants are encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy the afternoon.

Diary dates for the gatherings: 1 May, 5 June, 3 July, 7 August, 4 September, 2 October, 6 November and 4 December.

Coffs Quilters donate $1k to flood victims

By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Quilters and Needlecraft Inc. (CH&N) has rallied funds and sent $1,000 to donation organisation GIVIT, with the stipulation it is to be used for the people of Lismore.

“This money was an accumulation of funds from our quilt show held in 2018 and raffles run at our various events,” CH&N spokesperson

Shirley Rose told News Of The Area.

The local quilters are also associated with Wraps with Love, an organisation which collects knitted blanket-style wraps made by volunteers and sends them to areas in need both overseas and within Australia.

“Wraps with Love will send wraps when asked.

“We will continue to make rugs and will hand them over

when needed,” said Shirley.

“At the moment we are making gift quilts from donated material.

“This involves a number of members cutting, sewing, ironing, pinning etc, and is always done with a lot of laughs and good cheer.”

CH&N member Margaret Hivon is the local contact for Wrap with Love Inc. “Each wrap is made of knitted or crocheted squares

of many colours and helps warm the cold humanity who are suffering under natural or man-made disasters.

“Several ladies make over ten wraps each year, and one of our male members contributes a large number of crocheted squares to be made into rugs.”

Margaret collects and sews the squares together.

Most libraries are dropoff points for squares.

CH&N also recently donated four quilts each to the Women's Refuge and the Wesley Mission in Coffs Harbour.

“Members enjoy making

quilts and are happy to share the products of their skills with those in our community who need the comfort a quilt can offer.”

Recently the club was approached by WIRES asking them to make pouches for joeys who are in care after the floods.

“They have made 40 pouches and 40 liners and now will make pouches for the smaller joeys.”

The CH&N group meets 8.30 to 12 noon every Thursday at Cavanbah Hall in Coffs and welcomes new members any time.

Members undertake a

wide and varied range of handicraft such as quilting, patchwork, tapestry, knitting, crocheting as well as many types of hand embroidery.

“The club has a large library for all crafts, and we also have sewing machines, irons etc for all types of sewing requirements.”

These are available to members and can enable them to participate in workshops that are run by members for members to learn different crafts.

He has penned many published works, most recently the book ‘An Insider’s Plague Year’ (2021).

Appearing live streamed from New York, Kevin Rudd will discuss his past political experience, the post-Prime Ministerial years and his latest publication: ‘The Avoidable War’.

His book is described as demystifying the actions of both China and the United States, explaining and translating them for the

Geopolitical disaster is still avoidable, he writes, but only if these two giants can find a way to coexist without betraying their core interests through what Rudd calls "managed strategic competition".

Easter Hat Dog Show

By Susan KONTIC

EVERYBODY loves an Easter Hat Parade, and when there’s a warm invitation to take your dog along you know you’ll be in for a great time.

On Easter Sunday, April 17, Greyhounds As Pets (GAP NSW) will be holding a colourful Easter Hat Dog Show in Coffs Harbour from 8am to 2pm at Harbourside Markets, Marina Drive, Jetty Foreshores.

Enter yourself and your dog in the Easter Hat Dog Show Contest wearing an Easter hat or fascinator, or let the kids wear a hat and have the fun.

Prizes will be awarded in each category with Easter egg baskets, doggie treats and blue ribbon awards on offer.

Bring the family along for the day and enjoy amazing market stalls, face painting and a great fun atmosphere.

This will be a bright, feel-good event and another way to bring attention to rehoming greyhounds in the Hunter Mid North Coast area.

Several greyhounds will be available to meet and pat

media@newsofthearea.com.au

and visitors will also have the opportunity to talk to the expert GAP NSW team about how to go about adopting or fostering a greyhound, and whether it is right for them.

Greyhounds As Pets is a not-for-profit initiative coordinated by Greyhound Racing NSW. Their adoption process will help match you to the best greyhound for you and your family.

“We pride ourselves on matching the right dog to you and your circumstances,

q

as well as providing you with comprehensive support during and after the adoption process,” says GAP NSW representative Kellee Cruse.

Finding a dog is easy... but finding a family-friendly dog is a challenge that Greyhounds As Pets take very seriously.

“Our greyhound adoption program begins from the first point of contact you have with us.

“Our goal is to find you a new loving family member so you live ‘happily ever after’.”

Make friends with a family-friendly greyhound.

towards this amazing achievement,” Di Woods, Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre (CHNC), told News Of The Area.

“We already know that Coffs Harbour has one of the highest percentages in any area of people who volunteer.

“It would be an amazing way to celebrate our volunteers, the amazing skills they have and the generous time they continue to dedicate.

“Their efforts are worth much more than an economic benefit to our community.

“Their smiles, empathy and support contribute every day to the health and wellbeing of our community.

“Many of our services would not be able to keep their doors open without volunteers contributing their time and skills.”

CHNC is asking for the support of all organisations that support volunteers, to contribute to this opportunity to recognise and celebrate our volunteers.

For organisations to collaborate on this opportunity, please provide Volunteering Coffs Harbour Inc. with the following information.

1: A total number of volunteers that have volunteered with your organisation between 1 April 2021 and 1 April 2022.

2: A log showing volunteer names and an email address log, per group on organisation letterhead.

These will then collaboratively be forwarded for collection and collation for an Australian record.

Please provide these logs to Di Woods by 22 April 2022.

“The earlier the better,” urges Di. “We will need at least 230 registered volunteers across our organisations to make it.

Easter Plans for a State Forest Trip?

By Andrea FERRARI

PLANNING a wander in the woods, a hike in the hills or some family fun in the forest this Easter?

Best to check the Forestry Corporation of NSW website for any closures and notices.

With many areas of NSW impacted by severe weather events there have been widespread closures, particularly on the North and Mid North Coast, said Forestry Corporation’s Manager of Tourism and Partnerships, Louise Faulkner.

“There are many State forests and sites open across NSW for visitors to discover

and explore these special places,” said Louise.

“However, with numerous forests affected by severe weather damage, particularly in the Mid and North Coast areas where many forests remain closed due to landslips and washed out roads or bridges, please check our website and plan ahead to avoid disappointment at your intended forest destination.

“While some State Forests on the North Coast are currently closed due to flood damage, travellers to the Coffs region can visit Orara East State Forest, just north of Coffs Harbour,” Louise told News Of The Area.

“Here they’ll find the

multi tourism award-winning Niigi Niigi or Sealy Lookout.

“Visitors can take in expansive views from the Forest Sky Pier over Coffs Harbour, surrounding hinterland and coastline, or enjoy a picnic in the allaccess picnic shelter.

“For those seeking a more energetic visit, the Gumgali Track to Korora Lookout is a First People Interpretive Walk, telling the Gumbaynggirr story of Gumgali the Black Goanna through sculpture, signage and sound.

“Many rainforest walking tracks, the Nyanggan Gapi café and Coffs Treetops are also located in Orara East

State Forest.”

The Forestry Corporation is also reminding visitors to be safe and respectful if they explore the great outdoors.

“Where possible have a great time in our State forests this Easter break, but we ask visitors to respect the rules and each other,” said Louise.

“This includes observing fire bans, fully extinguishing your campfire, avoiding excessive noise and considering your fellow campers.

“There is no booking system, so we ask everyone

to be courteous and work together with your fellow visitors to share the campgrounds available.

“Of course, also be mindful of COVID health guidelines and social distancing.”

Visitors can also follow @VisitNSWForests on Facebook for up-to-date information and tips on places to visit.

Great great grandfather gets first cuddle

By Andrea FERRARI

GREAT great grandfather Dave Lamb held his newborn great great grandson Kashton for the first time last Sunday, 10 April.

What a moment of wonder.

A moment spent wondering what this little man will experience in a world so different to that of his very-great grandfather, who will be 93 in August.

In Dave’s family line, little Kashton Mathew Metham was born to Chloe, 19, who was born to Kandy, who was born to Kathy, who was born to Dave and Lorna, back in 1958.

Until Sunday, Dave had only seen photos of “the whelp” as he sweetly joked, but with family arranging transport, the fifth

generation newborn met his elderly relative for that allimportant first cuddle.

“The world has changed tremendously,” mused Dave to News Of The Area.

Born in Grafton in 1929, Dave Lamb went to Glenferneigh School.

“The original building is still there but not functioning as a school.”

Dave’s first job was as an apprentice jockey in Sydney, which he describes as “a disaster”.

“I had horses at home.

“In those days we had what were called campdrafting horses; we worked the stock on horseback, working out the saleable cattle.

“I was minding horses at Ebor Hotel for Mervyn Freeman, a well-known horseman, and a bloke called

him up and asked if I’d like to be an apprentice jockey.

“I was fifteen and very lightweight, so off I went.

“It didn’t last long…I got too big,” he laughs.

Dave met his beautiful wife Lorna Panton, who passed in 2017, in Narrabri.

He’d often visit his mate Mick Ellis, who boarded for work in that “big family town out West”.

One evening a violent thunderstorm came in and Dave boarded over for the night.

In the morning Dave asked the boarding house owner if he could thank the young lady who had prepared the meal.

“I went into the kitchen and offered her any help and she said ‘OK’ and threw me a cloth to do the wiping up.

“It turned out that I was

q Five generations: (l-r) Kathy, Chloe (standing), Dave, baby Kashton and Kandy. wiping up for her for the next almost-65 years,” he laughs.

Married in 1953, Dave and Lorna had four children – three boys and a girl.

“They all still live in and

around Coffs.”

And that includes his great great grandson, Kashton.

So with cars organised by the family, Dave and Kasthon

will deliver practical action on the ground to protect more than 60 priority threatened species,” Minister Ley said.

“This includes action to restore and create important habitat, captive breeding programs to boost populations as well as new feral cat and fox management initiatives to reduce pressures from invasive predators.

“These communityled activities will help improve the trajectory of our most precious native wildlife with a range of flow-on benefits for other species that share the same habitat,” Minister Ley said. .

Pat Conaghan, Federal Member for Cowper, welcomed the

announcement and applauded the recognition of such an important species to the region.

He said, “I had the pleasure of meeting with Gerry McGilvray, project officer with Saving our Species back in March last year and personally witnessed these special creatures in the Bellinger river.

“It’s wonderful to see this funding go toward meaningful action in their protection, including weed control, revegetation and ecological monitoring of their environment.

Mr Conaghan said, “In addition, the project will encompass Aboriginal cultural and general community engagement, as it should.”

Snapping Turtles to Benefit From Government Grant THE Bellinger River’s George’s Snapping Turtle population is set to benefit from $210,000 in funding from the Federal Government’s Threatened Species Strategy Action Plan.

Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley said conservation and restoration projects across Australia have been allocated a share of $12 million funding through the $100 million Environment Restoration Fund.

She said, “The successful projects span all states and territories and

Paddle Out for Millsy ONE last paddle out for local surf lifesaving legend, John Mills OAM, will see family members and surf lifesavers from around the country converging on Coffs Harbour on Thursday, April 14.

John Mills OAM, a Surf Life Saving Australia Life Member, NSW and Australian representative, a five-time National surf swimming champion and a celebrated surf coach, passed away peacefully, aged 94, at his Coffs Harbour home on 1 February, 2022.

The Coffs Harbour Jetty Beach was John’s second home – every afternoon for 40 years the ‘Super Coach’ could be found surrounded by lifesavers young and old, doting on his every word.

It is fitting that so many great champions of past and present will honour his legacy with a paddle around the Jetty (12 noon) followed by a traditional memorial service off the Jetty Foreshores for John and Marge and a Life Celebration at Coffs Harbour Surf Club (from 3pm).

John and Marge’s family are deeply ingrained in the

surf lifesaving movement through four generations, with countless State and National champions amongst them, and granddaughter Brooke Hanson, who won gold and silver medals at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.

Lifesavers from Coffs Harbour, Sawtell, Sydney, Newcastle, Port Macquarie and the Gold Coast will gather for what will be a spectacular sight – with many wearing their respective club caps.

John and Marge’s four children - Lorraine, Suzanne, John and Alison - and their families will all be on the shoreline and in the water for this special farewell for two special people – so respected in the Coffs Harbour community.

And what an innings to celebrate – Millsy was 94 and Marge, who passed away in December 2020, was 96.

They will be remembered as a proud born-and-bred Coffs Harbour couple, parents, grandparents, great grandparents, uncle, aunty and father and mother figures to so many.

John was adored by his surviving sister, Evelyn.

Their much-loved twelve grandchildren and sixteen

great grandchildren all worshipped the ground their grandparents walked on.

John grew up on the banks of Coffs Creek.

One of sixteen children born to Bill and Sarah Mills, he loved to swim, play football and fish with his brothers and sisters.

Millsy became one of Coffs’ greatest-ever surf swimmers, winning many local championships, and representing Australia in 1950, and until his passing was the oldest surviving member of that touring team to New Zealand.

John and Marge moved to Sydney’s Northern Beaches, settling in Balgowlah where they raised their children over a memorable 30 years.

John ruled the waves at Freshwater Surf Club, carving out an extraordinary life and careers in surf lifesaving, swimming, rugby union and rugby league, leaving a lifelong legacy.

John and Marge returned to their beloved Coffs in 1980 where they continued to make a difference for the next 40 years with their tireless community work and in John’s life-long love of surf lifesaving – earning him the

q North Coast Senior Team 1946 – (l-r) John Pollack and Bill Lawler with Open Belt Champion John Mills, Ron Goodenough and Bill King.

q In loving memory of John and Marge Mills – legends of Coffs Harbour.

OAM in 1991.

John not only wore the green and gold against the Kiwis but represented the NSW sky blues on three occasions – winning four prestigious Australian R and R championships with Freshwater and countless surf and belt championships at Branch, State and Australian Championships with Coffs and Freshwater.

A life member of both clubs, NSW and John was recently named the 308th Life Member of Surf Life

Saving Australia.

John was a life-long surf and lifesaving coach for thousands of young Australians from the sands of Coffs Harbour Jetty Beach to Freshwater Beach.

The Mills family will also attend a family reunion in Coffs Harbour over the Easter Long Weekend, with their Friday activities on Coffs Creek at the Mills Family Shelter and Saturday at the Coffs Harbour Surf Club.

Sharing with NOTA,

q

Brooke Hanson OAM paid tribute to her beloved Grandfather.

“My grandfather was my hero, a man who taught me the power of living a purpose driven life.

“His legacy will live on through the thousands of people he coached, inspired, mentored and encouraged.

“I’m so thankful for the lessons he taught me, most importantly to always pursue my passions and that giving back by supporting others is life’s greatest gift.”

Music industry professional development workshops q Coffs Harbour - Ben Lewis, Director of Gigbig, presents the All Gig Great and Small workshop in Coffs.

By Andrea FERRARI

LIVED experience in the music industry shared by industry professionals is coming to the Mid North Coast in a series of MusicNSW workshops, which are free and for all ages.

MusicNSW is running the three professional development events during April.

The first was in Port Macquarie on Thursday 14 April.

enough to see it in the bun, yet not make the bun too sweet – to the softness of the bun and a well-balanced flavour,” Lestatt told News Of The Area.

“It’s the quality of the ingredients and doing everything properly, to the recipe and method,” said TAFE NSW Baking teacher Paul Miranda.

“Even down to the mixture we use for the crosses on the buns.

“It must have the exact right consistency.

“If a student has to ask ‘are these OK?’ then they’re not; they have to be thrown away.”

It’s that kind of attention to details Paul instils in the students across all their baking work.

Baking is about the function of the ingredients,

he teaches.

“We use flour, eggs, salt, sugar, yeast and butter, and fruit for the hot cross buns… it’s all about how those ingredients interact with each other to make the end product.”

And then there’s the baking itself.

“Overcooking means the bun becomes too dry, undercooking it and it is too soft,” said Lestatt.

Working at the Glenreagh Bakehouse, in the village where Lestatt lives, he has always wanted to be a baker.

“I like following the traditional recipes.”

His dream job?

“To be a baker or pastry chef in a traditional, oldfashioned baker’s shop like you see in the old towns… such as Glenreagh,” he smiles.

The Certificate III Baking students are all serving apprenticeships with bakeries which are gearing up for the demand as consumers turn their attention to the fruity, baked bun of the season.

The perfect hot cross bun is a fine balance of the fruit, the softness and a wellbalanced flavour, according to seventeen-year-old TAFE Baking apprentice student, Lestatt Hammond-Hurst.

Dawaandi Podcast launches

By Andrea FERRARI

A FIRST Nations podcast called ‘Dawaandi’, encouraging ‘cultural mindfulness’, was launched here on Gumbaynggirr land in March.

The OneMob Radio podcast will allow the listeners to engage in guided mindfulness through cultural lenses.

“The name 'Dawaandi' is a Gumbaynggirr Word for ‘reflection’ and we chose this because OneMob Radio wants to be able to reflect, relax and simply be mindful,” Lachlan Skinner, Founder of OneMob Radio told News Of The Area.

“This project has been exciting to facilitate because it stems from the last two years of Covid madness and how it has taken a toll on everyone’s mental health,” said Lachlan.

“Mindfulness was

something that I felt weird about doing but I did a few guided meditations and instantly felt as if weight was lifted off my shoulders.

“Through doing more mindfulness I then went

looking for more cultural mindfulness and couldn’t find anything.”

Thanks to Aboriginal Affairs, OneMob Radio was successful in a grant to script and record a cultural

Mr Carniato commended students and staff and all the parents and friends who supported their efforts.

“This was a humanitarian

crisis just up the road, and our students wanted to help,” he said.

“Our young people have a keen sense of social justice, and an innate sense of wanting to do something for others,” he added with more than a little pride.

Students pitch in to aid Vinnies Flood Appeal

By Susan KONTIC

STUDENTS from St John Paul College in Coffs Harbour were quick to pitch in with practical assistance for our Northern Rivers neighbours after their latest devastating flood.

“Students were asking what they could do to help and we had to tell them to wait because in the immediate aftermath there was nowhere to store things,” said Principal Michael Carniato.

However, a Mufti Day was held at the college to aid the Vinnies Flood Appeal, and each of the 1050 students was encouraged to bring in one article to contribute.

The message went out:

please give all you can so we can help people who have lost so much in this natural disaster.

And give they did: over $8000 worth of food was donated.

Students, families and staff at St John Paul College and the team at Ritchies IGA Nambucca donated more than four tonnes of essential supplies.

They brought bags overflowing, and boxes filled with necessities, while parents and friends eager to help dropped off more.

At one point the hall had to be closed because it couldn’t hold any more.

“Staff and students were extremely generous with their donations,” said Brett

So generous in fact that donations exceeded all expectations.

Local company Faircloth & Reynolds offered the loan of a large truck and a driver to transport the donations to ‘Our Two Hands’ in Casino, a not-for-profit organisation that acted as a logistics base for distribution.

Some of the donated items were on helicopters to stranded families before the day was out.

It took two trips to move all of the donated goods and Faircloth & Reynolds were happy to oblige.

Year 7 students were pleased to play their part and formed a line to carry boxes

to the truck and helped with packing.

The first truckload carried essential items such as baby goods and nappies, toiletries, clothes, food and pet food.

q The Education Centre will be focusing on basic literacy and numeracy this year, either individually or in small, cohesive groups.

THERE are students who get to year 12 with lowerthan-expected literacy and numeracy levels.

There are various reasons why this occurs.

It can be due to a disability or a disability that has not yet been recognised, it can be because the students live in families who are struggling and can’t afford the help needed to remedy this situation.

There may have been some areas missed over the last two years which could be caught up now.

No matter what the cause, it needs to be addressed so that these students can succeed in their future schooling and their working life.

RURALRoundUp Dorrigo Show set for November COFFS COAST

NEWS OF THE AREA

By Andrea FERRARI

THE organisers of the famous Dorrigo Show have set a 2022 date for the iconic rural event.

Dorrigo Show Society has an energised team which has just officially launched its preparation for the first district exhibition since 2019.

“After two hard years of cancelling the Dorrigo Show because of the impact of Covid-19, the 2022 show will be held on the fourth weekend in November,” an event spokesperson told News Of The Area.

That’s Friday and Saturday, 25-26 November at Dorrigo Showground.

This year’s show theme is ‘Women

in Agriculture’ and with the three senior positions on the society occupied by women it will be a traditional country show with a special focus on women on the land, not just as support people but as leaders and independent managers.

Susan Bignell has been elected Treasurer, Christine Dacron has indicated she will remain as Secretary until a full time replacement is found and Sally Duckett has entered her fourteenth year as Society President.

Sally has acknowledged the contribution of retiring treasurers, Alison and Phillip Clements, saying, “The committee extended a huge thank you to Alison and Phillip who have done a sterling

New to the executive team, Susan brings extensive experience to her position in the areas of book-keeping, allied financial management and Angus cattle breeding.

She and her partner moved to Dorrigo last November after many years producing Angus beef and Merino wool near Copeton Dam, Inverell.

“I ran a book-keeping business for 25 years and I am very familiar with life on the land,” Susan said.

Vice presidents for 2022 are Bob Hawkins, Greg Tyler and Wayne Burley and the executive committee is former Dorrigo Show Girl Tahnee Tosh, along with Alexander Fraser and Brad Schwartz.

“We are really looking forward to the Dorrigo Show in 2022,” Sally said.

“It will be hard work getting it up and going again, but we know we will get there.

“Bring it on.”

STORYLAND Postponed

By Andrew VIVIAN

BECAUSE of the unprecedented weather patterns caused by La Niña, Screenwave International Film Festival (SWIFF)’s Storyland outdoor music event has been postponed.

This postponement does not affect the other 99 percent of screenings and events happening at SWIFF’22, which will continue as planned from April 21 to May 6.

La Niña, the weather pattern causing the Northern NSW Flood Crisis, has impacted Coffs Harbour, including Storyland’s event site, as well as several of the artist team and crew who have been personally and directly impacted by flooding in Northern NSW. After seeing many festivals cancelled late over the last two years, and the heartbreaking impact that has had on everyone involved, the SWIFF team have made the responsible but very difficult decision to postpone now, before festival goers travel from around Australia, before trucks are packed with equipment, before

All ticket holders are asked to please continue supporting live music, and SWIFF’s vision to bring Storyland to the Coffs Harbour community, by holding on to their tickets until the new date is announced.

If patrons do need a refund, please

contact the festival directly.

Festival Director David Horsley said, “With our aim to make this an ongoing, annual, and fantastic celebration of music and arts, largely locally produced for our Coffs Harbour community and visitors, this decision is about being responsible for the jobs our team depend on, being able to produce a quality, ambitious, and ongoing event that our community deserves. It’s

critical that we get the first year right.”

A new date for Storyland will be announced soon, which will sit outside the SWIFF’22 festival dates.

The full sixteen-day SWIFF’22 indoor film and special events line-up will continue to go ahead as planned from April 21 to May 6, bringing over 130 sessions and exclusive events to the Coffs Harbour region.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

D

By Manny WOOD

Landlady and lodger arrangement leads to claim on estate TINA owns her own home and lives alone.

She never married and has no children.

Tina decides to offer her spare room up for board and Peter soon moves into her house.

Peter receives a disability support pension and has not been employed for several years.

Ten years later, Tina passes away at the age of 65.

Tina leaves the whole of her estate to her brother and sister.

Peter challenges Tina’s will, seeking provision from her estate.

Peter claims that he was in a de facto relationship with Tina and that he is entitled to receive Tina’s home.

The Court hears evidence from ten witnesses, consisting of the parties’ friends and family.

One of the witnesses recalls a conversation with Tina where she stated that she had slept with Peter on only three occasions and that the experience was unsatisfactory.

The Court states that different types of living arrangements can create “borderline cases” which may include a relationship whereby the landlady permits the border to have sex with her every so often.

The Court is presented with Centrelink records, indicating that both Tina and Peter described their relationship status as “single”.

The Court ultimately finds that if a de facto relationship had existed, it was brief and ceased many years before Tina’s death.

However, the Court finds that Peter and Tina’s relationship could be characterised as “persons living in a close personal relationship”.

This classification does not require a “marriage-like” relationship, and only requires a relationship whereby one party provides the other with domestic support and personal care.

It is revealed that Peter owns multiple motor vehicles and has a substantial amount of money in the bank.

Nonetheless, given his poor health, he is able to demonstrate financial needs and is awarded the sum of $100,000, payable from the proceeds of the sale of Tina’s home.

Peter’s costs are also ordered to be paid from the estate.

DEAR Jasminda,

My son has just started work and he is looking at cars to buy.

He has his heart set on a four-wheel drive tray back ute, but these cars are very expensive and he'll be paying it off for years.

I'm trying to show interest, but I know very little about cars and don't want him to buy something beyond his reach.

Harriet P. Dear Harriet,

Harbour Boat Ramp Ramifications DEAR News Of The Area, IN November 2020 I contacted Coffs Harbour City Council (CHCC) to voice my disagreement on changes planned for the boat ramp.

I was concerned and stated the plan would not work.

I did have a conversation with Mick Raby and he informed me that CHCC refused to be involved and that they had indicated to the State Government department that their plan had serious flaws.

Mr Raby agreed with me on the problems with sand migration and the harbour slowly filling and agreed the work being planned would not solve the problem.

The government wasted $14 million dollars of taxpayers money by refusing to accept Council’s in depth study results over the years from best practice solutions that have been proven to work.

My second point I would like to bring to your attention is the works being conducted on the outer harbour boat ramp.

I only found out about it in a short news article, as there is nothing on the Council website.

Years ago I offered my knowledge to council at the start of a dredging program using the Port Frederick dredge at no charge on initial consultation, to make sure council was receiving value for money spent.

Nothing eventuated from that contact and in the following weeks the figures being removed exceeded the vessel's capacities.

From what I understand, the eastern rock wall of the boat ramp is going to be extended further to try and make the ramp safer for use.

In my opinion this will make no difference and the sand will only build up again over a larger area and I am assuming this from the news report, as there was no mention of removing sand from the outer harbour.

Kind regards, Jim MUNRO, 28 years dredging experience Australian ports and overseas.

Political Shortsightedness DEAR News Of The Area, I WRITE as an 83-year-old third generation local concerned about political shortsightedness.

As farmers, my parents, grandparents and great grandparents had to take the long view.

We wanted our children and their children to benefit from our planning and care.

Our governments seem to have only a three-year view – the next election.

This wasn't such a problem in the past when public servants had tenure and essential services hadn’t been privatised or outsourced.

Now, senior public servants are all on

28 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

three-year contracts needing to please the government – not

necessarily the same as serving the public - or lose their job.

In the frontline of service delivery, a temporary workforce has replaced experienced knowledgeable officers.

This means that when temporary staff are really needed – to help out during natural disasters and pandemics – there is no surge capacity.

Nor are the experienced permanent staff there to support them.

Perhaps most worryingly, for old age pensioners like me: if I phone Centrelink my call is likely to be answered by an employee of Serco or Datacom Connect, huge multinational privately owned companies.

The privatisation and contracting out of essential services – frontline service delivery, telecommunications, finance and infrastructure as well as planning and policy making– means a year-to-year profit motive

media@newsofthearea.com.au

I'M not sure of your vintage, but when we were young and selecting a first car, we had very little to choose from.

Getting a loan wasn't an option, so often the first car was a hand-me-down or something with some pretty significant mechanical or body issues.

Today, it seems that many P-platers expect to be driving around in a sporty current model hatchback or a dual cab with towing capacity and I feel encouraging these visions of grandeur is not preparing them for some valuable life lessons.

It is amazing how much resilience you build when you start out in a car that has to have the bonnet lifted and the starter motor tapped to get it going.

Or purchasing a vehicle from a dodgy second-hand dealer intent on focusing on the low kilometres, while brushing past the fact the car was once submerged in a lake.

Never is there a better time to test your courage under pressure than going down a hill only to realise the brakes have failed.

Boiled brakes are a life-long lesson.

Windows that don't wind down (remember non-automatic windows?), an interior roof lining that has to be held up with thumb tacks, an annoying leak meaning everyone in the back seat has to hold their legs up in the air.

These are the experiences that will make (and sometimes break) a person.

What right do we have to prevent the personal and emotional growth that goes with them by offering our kids an interest free loan?

A good dose of reality is a healthy thing.

Hang back and let him learn from his mistakes and his overinflated car ownership dreams, as painful as that may be.

Carpe diem, Jasminda has replaced the imperative to serve the public and future generations.

In the forthcoming federal election I urge Cowper voters to choose candidates who are committed to replacing short-term expediency and pork barrelling with fearless leadership – for our grandchildren and their children.

Thankyou, Colin GRANT, Coffs Harbour.

OPINION & LETTERS

Times gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD CHRISTMAS day in 1908 saw a storm hit at 5 pm, with driving rain and hail, but after a lull, the overcast sky became even darker.

Suddenly, an immense gush of wind struck from the south-east, accompanied by torrential rain and hail

Christmas Carnage four inches in diameter, creating thirty minutes of chaos.

As the cyclone moved south-west from the sea on the southern ridgeline of Coffs Harbour, trees were torn up by the roots and branches snapped off like twigs, while anything light was whirled into the air.

Rev Father O’Gallagher had left the newly built Catholic Church, on the Gordon Street hill, with minutes to spare before a ‘great clatter’ was heard by people nearby.

Lying directly in the cyclone’s path, the weatherboard building would later

be discovered completely flattened into debris, its roofing iron scattered around and a portion of guttering hanging in a nearby tree.

Due to the small size of the settlement, anxious householders in the village centre were lucky to escape the worst of the destruction, with the post office, on the McLean Street hill, right on the edge of the cyclone.

However, a larger store was observed to rock and many windows were smashed on this and other buildings. Galvanised iron was stripped from some roofs, drenching building interiors.

Caught in the storm, Mr Robert Bray ran for a nearby cottage, missed it in the dark and remained in the open until the storm broke, while Mr Henry Hodgkinson risked sheltering inside a hollow tree.

Those travelling within Colvin’s coach had to wait the storm out, as the horses pulling the coach could not face the oncoming storm and at times, the wind lifted the vehicle up to 30 cm in the air.

Although it poured rain and trees were uprooted, by the time the cyclone reached Coramba it was almost finished.

Sadly, many birds were killed and minor flooding occurred, however, the broken telegraph line was soon repaired and carpenters engaged to repair buildings.

A failure of national security policy DEAR News Of The Area,

FINALLY we have the release of many refugees who have long been forced to suffer in detention under the policy of the current Federal Government.

The national security narrative of "stopping the boats" as rationale for this policy has been revealed for the falsehood that it always has been.

Instead it was purely an act of political cruelty to victimise those who were forced

to leave their country of birth for personal safety.

Massive health costs for those detained, enormous reputational damage for Australia as a multicultural democracy and at a budgetary cost of nearly $6 billion to prosecute this falsehood.

Concurrently we have the rise of the Sino-Russian alliance and the global security threat this represents.

We have our neighbours in the Solomon Islands signing up to a security pact with

China, a development that totally blindsided our Federal Government.

What if we had provided immediate protection for the refugees and reallocated some of that wasted $6 billion to the people of the Pacific by assisting with infrastructure development like hospitals and schools?

We would have avoided creating such vast suffering for some and we would have maintained our presence in the Pacific.

Now we have a major national security threat.

Deegan’s work in flood disasters DEAR News Of The Area,

IN an environment where so many people are cynical about politicians and their motivation, it is heartening to see that there are still people who seek public office just because they want to serve their community and to make a difference.

One of those people is Patrick Deegan, candidate for Page.

The recent flood events and their aftermath have been devastating and traumatic for people in Lismore and the

Richmond Valley.

In some towns the majority of houses will need to be rebuilt.

Lives have been turned upside down and the loss has been incalculable on a human scale. People needed assistance with the cleanup, but just as much they needed a sympathetic ear and the reassuring presence of someone who was just there to help.

For quite a few people in Lismore and other Richmond Valley towns, that person was Patrick Deegan.

He turned up, day after day.

up.

He helped with the heavy lifting.

He helped by listening.

He absorbed the trauma and kept turning

Patrick didn't want publicity.

There was no media presence, no photos and no fanfare.

He did it because he cared and because he knew he could help.

That's the Patrick Deegan that I have come to know - a worker, a listener and someone who cares.

Many of us will go to the ballot box on

These were deliberate choices made by the current Federal Government and they represent an incredible policy failure of national security.

Yet again another demonstration of incompetence by a government that Australia can no longer afford.

Regards, Jon FERGUSSON, Raleigh.

election day with a firm political commitment.

I am one of those people.

Others will make up their mind according to the personal qualities of the candidate.

I just wanted those people to know the sort of person that Patrick Deegan is.

In a world full of politicians who are so keen to capitalise on any good work they do, it's pretty amazing to find someone like Patrick who does it just because it's the right thing to do.

Regards, Tony JUDGE, Woolgoolga.

Where is the National Integrity Commission?

DEAR News Of The Area,

ISN’T it interesting?

The Coalition government has for years had the power to vote into existence a National Integrity Commission which would be able to examine allegations of corrupt conduct by Federal MPs. Remember in 2018 when Prime Minister Scott Morrison first called the idea a “fringe issue” before realising it was what Australians

wanted and a month later promised to set one up?

Remember in 2019 when his Attorney General Christian Porter said the government would set up a National Integrity body within twelve months?

Remember when this didn’t happen Porter said that he was too busy with Covid-19?

In other words, he couldn’t walk and chew gum at the same time.

Remember the final draft the Government presented in 2021 which was lambasted by critics for being a toothless tiger, unable to even investigate MPs? Now here we are in 2022 and the Government has just delivered a budget with no funding for an Integrity Commission.

It doesn’t take an Einstein to see that the National and Liberal parties are running a mile from setting up a Federal ICAC. Do you know what else is interesting in

Jetty Foreshores Fears

Celebrating Hospital Staff

DEAR News Of The Area,

I HAD to have surgery in October last year and the staff at Coffs Harbour hospital were fantastic.

We are blessed to have these dedicated people in our area.

The government should be congratulating this dedicated team on the service they provide for the community.

With Covid-19 and everything else that has happened, they deserve a pay rise.

I cannot imagine what would happen without them.

Regards, Mick Raby.

I WRITE to express my concern and disbelief at the developments taking place at the Jetty Foreshores, in particular the work being done on the extension of the boat ramp wall.

I have lived in Coffs Harbour for over 75 years and can say Coffs Harbour is my home.

I'm concerned that the planning was not done correctly, e.g that the movement of sand was not correctly studied.

We already have a new beach forming on the south wall.

Thursday, 14 April 2022

Why does this government give people funding to destroy what is already family friendly?

Surely common sense comes into play here.

Climate change is happening everywhere.

The Jetty had plenty of fish and was part of the mullet run.

The mullet could be caught with nets, and you could get pippies and worms on the beach and shellfish on the rocks, now there is very little.

The foreshores should be left for the people to enjoy, particularly families.

Regards, A CRAIG.

Beyond brain injury - Tom’s Mindvision art emerges

By Andrea FERRARI

SUFFERING a severe traumatic brain injury when he was eighteen that left him with severe cognitive deficits and life threatening epilepsy, 33-year-old Tom Englefield has been hailed a miracle by neurologist Prof Dominic Rowe.

With a seven percent chance of survival, Tom has blossomed through the long journey of recovery and rehabilitation to emerge as a talented artist producing unique and personal pieces that he calls ‘Mindvision’.

With a growing collection of mesmerising metallic painted works on canvas, Thomas Englefield held his first exhibition, a fund-raiser for Epilepsy Australia, on Monday 11 April.

Hosted at Twenty46 café on Harbour Drive, owner Mel has a deep affection for her daily customers, Tom and his support worker James Orr (Northcott services), who come in for their coffees every day.

Packed with some sixtysomething friends that Tom naturally acquires through his beautiful nature, the fundraiser was a warmhearted party seeing friends becoming fans of Tom’s work.

Living tucked away in

Boambee with his parents, Karen and Peter Englefield, and his youngest brother, Sam, the beautifully dispositioned Tom works from his new studio at home.

“It’s hard for me to do one thing for a long time so I have lots of things on the go, but I don’t give up...only when I have to,” Tom told News Of The Area.

His preferred palette is metallics in burnt ombres, oranges and the muted tones of nature.

The paintings emerge from his mind.

“I don’t like to copy things,” he says.

Surrounding him in his studio are some twenty pieces, many alluding to nature, with ducks and a koala and birds.

There’s also two paintings of his dad’s face, one still on the go, and a popular piece, “a face with no hair” as Tom describes it.

“Tom views the world differently,” Karen told NOTA. “He was always into art; he had severe learning and language difficulties as a child, but his fine motor skills were exceptional.

“He was encouraged by his art teacher, James Blake, who taught him to use oils.

“In his adolescence he got more interested in surfing,

and then he got hit by a car just after his eighteenth birthday, and life changed.

“Tom changed.

“He has nasty seizures, at the moment every two to three months, and he has a lot of trouble expressing himself.

“I liken his seizures to the releasing of a pressure valve and art is a way to express himself, letting people know how he’s feeling, a window into his mind,” she says.

Today, with his parents’ sweetest and strongest support, and James taking him out and about, Tom

enjoys an active life including jaunts around Coffs Harbour where he meets and makes friends with so many of the community.

He plays golf at Sawtell Golf Club, horse rides at Valery Trails and HWH Stables, has surf lessons with Solitarily Islands Surf School, sings with Sing Australia and has a busy and fulfilling life.

Karen says that sharing Tom’s art with the world is one proud moment, but she also wants to raise awareness that a severe trauma doesn’t have to stop the enjoyment of

q Karen Englefield with her son Tom and his support worker James Orr.

q Tom’s popular painting, ‘a face with no hair’. your life, or your family’s life.

“It hasn’t been easy, but there have been a lot of rewards.

“To see Tom come this far...moving up here (to Boambee and the Coffs Coast) is the best thing we could have done for him...his moods have improved and with the outdoor life, there’s so much more scope, he’s doing so much more than he could in Sydney.

“NDIS has also been great for Tom. “He always was a really adventurous young man.

“Life’s a risk.

“But I have said to Tom, whatever you want to do, ask

me, we’ll work it out.

“There’s usually a way around everything.”

And pulling off an art exhibition was one of those things the family made happen.

His Dad promised him that once he’d done enough paintings, they would hold an exhibition of his work.

And he did, and they did.

with chart-topping artists Ilan, Dana and Blake.

“They were inspiring mentors who provided the impetus to spark my creative thoughts - resulting in the creation of two beautiful songs.”

Tina Broad, SongMakers Project Lead said, “Jake and his students were absolute stars.

“There’s a respectful and creative ethos in Woopi High which I found palpable.

“And there’s clearly something in the water there in Coffs and surrounds regarding music-making and that makes us extra excited to come back in a couple of weeks for the SongMakers

Holiday sessions that we’re doing in partnership with Create NSW and the Office of Regional Youth.

“Industry connections can be tricky to forge if you’re a young creative in a regional area, so getting to meet and work with industry insiders can really help catalyse careers and build confidence.

“And collaboration and connection make the global industry tick: just about every hit song has been written in a team.

“Just as important as the career links, though, songs can bring hope in uncertain times: that’s at the heart of these workshops too.”

producers.

The Woolgoolga High workshop is a Youth Week warm-up in advance of SongMakers’ return to Coffs later in the month, as part of an Office for Regional Youth Holiday Break program being run statewide in partnership with APRA AMCOS and Create NSW. The Woolgoolga High students attended the workshop at Coffs’ Regional Conservatorium.

Jake Dominey, Music Teacher at Woolgoolga High School told News Of The Area after the two-day music workshops, “The SongMakers workshop held by APRA AMCOS was a fresh and

exciting experience for our students at Woolgoolga High.

“I selected sixteen of our music students who are passionate about songwriting and have potential for careers in the music industry to participate in this workshop.

“Our students had a lot of growth over these two days as four groups collaborated, wrote a song each and recorded their songs, all while being nurtured by successful Australian producers.

“They were able to get a taste of what it takes to be a professional songwriter in the music industry.

“I know a lot of our students were very inspired by this workshop, with one

telling me it was the best two days they have ever had at school.

“What made it memorable for me, was the connection the students made with the producers and how they were supported to learn that their individuality is something to be celebrated.

“As their music teacher I was very proud of how our students rose to the occasion and represented our school and our growing music culture here at Woolgoolga High.”

Woolgoolga High student Leevon Young told News Of The Area, “The SongMakers workshop was an incredible opportunity to collaborate

Women’s Coastal League One Kicks Off

By David WIGLEY

THE inaugural Women’s Coastal League League One kicked off on Sunday as Sawtell FC battled out a 0-0 draw with Macleay Valley Rangers at the Coffs Football Centre synthetic pitches.

Sawtell FC captain Anna Champion reflected on a tough first match.

“It was a tough game, both teams were going hard, there were a few tough challenges, we had some good chances, they hit the bar so I think in the end we evened each other out.

“I think we created chances and I think they had some clear cut chances and that’s when they hit the woodwork but the NRL goalkeeper made some excellent saves.

“I feel like we made some clear cut chances, we almost had the ball over the line a couple of times so there were some close calls there.

“We’re happy with the clean sheet but would have

been happy with some goals.

“It was a good challenge, we knew it was going to be tough but we’re looking forward to improving next week,” said Anna.

Macleay Valley Rangers player-coach Heidi Tamblyn was pleased to be out on the pitch after a disrupted preseason.

“You know what, pretty happy with the result today and the performance, I think

with the build up to the season with all of the rain and everything it’s been impossible to get training sessions in, you know it’s just nice to actually get out on the pitch and get a full game in.

“The girls pushed really hard, it was a big fitness test, the calves are going that’s for sure.

“It’s tough but if this is how I perform tonight for the first game after everything

then I am looking forward to the rest of the season and how we progress and get better as the season goes on.

“Sawtell are a good test, I know this is a tough league and we really have to step up this year.

“It was nice and even, we both had a fair few chances

to get a goal but it just didn’t happen and that’s football, you can’t win them all.

“Definitely happy with the clean sheet, we really had to grind at times and make sure we kept the ball out of the back of the net so I’m really proud of the girls for that.

“Starting Coast League

One has been a big build up, we’ve been wanting to get into a league like this for a couple of years now, it’s more of a test and see what we can do, so we’re really happy to have got into this league and it will be a nice challenge for us all,” said Heidi.

risen to the challenge and I couldn’t be more proud.”

Coffs Water Polo Club recently held its annual carnival at the Memorial Pool, during which they took on visiting teams from Taree.

Playle said the highlight of the club’s summer season was beating a strong team from the Northern Rivers.

“The highlight for

the juniors was beating Alstonville which we had never done before,” she said.

“We beat them twice in their own pool, and we wanted to beat them again here in Coffs but they couldn't get down because of the floods.

“We used to get thrashed by them, and we never dreamed we would have

players on that level.

“Our junior club has been building for five years to get to the level to have players compete at state.

Tigers beat Scorpions to kick off inaugural super round

By Aiden BURGESS

THE COFFS Coast Tigers and Sawtell Scorpions kicked off a huge weekend of football as the opening match of the Coastal Premier League’s inaugural super round.

The Coffs Coast Tigers earnt their first win of the season as sheer dominance of possession saw them beat the Scorpions 5-0 on a Friday night of wet weather football at the Coffs Football Centre.

The Tigers and Scorpions squared off to open the super

round.

A goal line scramble saw the Tigers take an early 1-0 lead in the ninth minute.

The Tigers dictated the early tempo and constantly had the ball in their attacking half, with another cross and goal line scramble seeing them extend their lead in the 21st minute.

The Tigers dominated possession in the first half to the extent where Sawtell found it hard to

in the European Cup before finishing his playing career with the Newcastle Jets and moving into a coaching and player development role at the Jets and Northern NSW Football.

Jaliens explained the purpose of their trip was to scope talent on the North Coast ahead of the nationals.

“I’m looking for talent, the North Coast is a wonderful area with lots of talent.

“At the moment we are

scouting for the National Premier League, we have the nationals coming up so these are important age groups for me to find the girls and the boys that will be eligible for that,” he said.

Jaliens explained how stepping up to the next level can progress your game.

“When you step up you play with better players and if the rest are better than you, then you have to step up your game.

All twelve Coastal Premier League clubs played their Round 2 matches at the Coffs Football Centre as part of the first ever super round.

The matches were scheduled to be played at the Ce.x Coffs International Stadium, but were moved to the synthetic fields after the venue was unavailable due to the wet weather.

gain the ball, which saw the Scorpions starved of chances and the Tigers take a 2-0 lead into half-time.

The Tigers controlled possession for much of the first half with patient build-ups, but the weight of possession didn’t equal many shots on goal.

The Tigers continued to pin the ball in Sawtell’s defensive half, and their continued dominance of possession would pay

in the second half.

Coffs Coast earnt their third goal after a long-range clearance of the Scorpions keeper in the 61st minute.

A fourth goal after a beautiful build-up and support play from the Tigers, and a fifth goal shortly after ended a top night for one of the premiership contenders.

While pleased with his side's dominance of possession, Tigers coach Luke Stow was more impressed with his side's efforts to win the ball back.

“Whenever we lost the ball we got it straight back, and the Scorpions only had one shot on goal all game,” he said.

“Our defensive pressure as a team was the standout, and we have been working on it since last year and now it is paying dividends.”

Even though it was a 5-0 victory, Stow said his side could have been even more ruthless in front of goal.

“I would have liked more shots on goal with all our possession, and sometimes we can try to be a bit too classy or fancy and not going for it and taking shots from fifteen metres out,” he said.

“But we’re a young side and that comes with more experience, and I thought it was the first time this year we had played the whole 90 minutes.”

“For example if you play up, that’s the push you are going to have, you need to be faster, you need to be stronger and for me that is a good case of how can they push themselves and how far can they reach.”

Jaliens gave sage advice for juniors who have aspirations to play at the top

level.

“Work very hard, the way I grew up was that everything I did at the football club was extra, so most of my work with the ball was outside of what I did at the club.

“It’s the amount of times you kick the ball and that’s basically up to every kid, so if you’ve got a ball at home, how

much do you practice?

“How many balls do you kick per week?

“So if you add that up across a year that might be a very big difference compared to some of your mates, so I encourage them to work hard and stay focused,” said Jaliens.

now heading off to prepare for Easter’s Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race where Harburg and crew will attempt to break their own record from 2018.

Robert McLelland, Rear Commodore Yacht Racing, RPAYC, said conditions were challenging but he’d promised the fleet clear skies and sunshine, and it was delivered.

He is looking forward to growing the race and thanked all those who participated and assisted.

In particular he thanked the Coffs Harbour Yacht Club organisers, staff and volunteers who assisted night and day in welcoming finishers.

He congratulated Commodore John Wait who has been involved in every

one of the 36 races.

World Cup Player’s Advice To North Coast Footballers

NORTH Coast Football had two draws and two losses against Valentine FC last Sunday in the National Premier League Youth at the Coffs Football Centre.

Aspiring football players had the extra motivation of playing in front of Peter Haynes, the head of coaching for Northern NSW Football, and Kew Jaliens, the Technical Director of the Newcastle Jets Youth Academy and Northern NSW Youth Academy, who travelled up from Newcastle to scout the local talent.

Amongst countless playing accolades, Jaliens played for Holland in the 2006 FIFA World Cup where the central defender kept a clean sheet against Lionel Messi’s Argentina side.

“We started well and got a goal off the back of some good early pressure.

“First half played the way we wanted to and had some really good chances we just couldn't convert into goals.

didn't bring the energy we needed to produce the next goal.

Kelleher made a dramatic impact on his return from injury, scoring the winning goals, which he attributed to his teammates.

“It’s just teammates, they set me up, I play in a good team so I have to jump on the end of them.

“The four Australia Cup games helped at the start of the year, I’ve had a few weeks off with an injury so it was good to get back out there,” said Martin.

Coffs Harbour athletes excel at Australian Championships

eighth in the final with a slightly slower time.

Two of the club's Para athletes, while not local, compete for the Coffs Harbour club.

Para athletes compete against athletes with other disabilities and their results are rated against their specific world records to achieve a fair result.

Malachi Canning (Lismore) Under 17 T20 Para had an outstanding championships collecting gold in the 400m (65.98s pb), Shot Put (9.24m Australian Record), Discus (30.88m AR) and Javelin as well as a silver in the Long Jump.

Amelia Parnell (Port Macquarie) Open T36 Ambulant finished sixth in her 100m Heat in 18.34s.

With other Coffs Coast athletes competing over the Championships, Nambucca athlete Daniel Williams under 16 (Nambucca) was outstanding, collecting gold in the 800m (1.57.98) and 1500m (4.02.70 PB).

Woolgoolga athlete Kyle

By Aiden BURGESS COFFS Harbour Track and Field Club has again produced some outstanding performances at the 2022 Australian Track and Field Championships.

The championships ran over nine days at Sydney Olympic Park in pretty ordinary conditions but the Coffs athletes produced some solid performances.

The club’s middledistance runners took the spotlight with Hayley Kitching producing a stunning front running performance to take out the Under 20 800m in 2.04.80.

This result secured Hayley Kitching a spot to the Under 20 World Juniors in Cali, Colombia later on this year.

Kitching also finished third in the Under 20 1500m with Olissa Onley coming in eighth, this was another hotly contested race with the top eight athletes dipping under the World Junior qualifying (WJQ) time.

Not to be outdone by his sister, Jade Kitching won the 800m/1500m Under 17 double.

Jade was impressive storming home to grab the gold in his 1500m (4.08.59), his brilliant burst of speed down the back straight in his 800m to comfortably grab the win in a new personal best of 1.54.79 saw him secure the double.

Alexandra Harrison collected a pair of bronze medals in the Under 20 and Open High Jumps.

While conditions for her Under

q Hayley Kitching competes at the Australian Track and Field Championships.

McIntosh (Open T20 Para) also performed well in the 800m (2.10.73) and 1500m (4.19.37) and Ethan Striegher (Open) took on the country’s best sprinters in the 100m and 200m.

Coffs Harbour Track and Field Club coach Glenn Thacker said his top-class athletes could achieve even greater things with a specialist training facility.

“We continue to find a place to train but who knows what we could achieve if we had an all-weather facility to be able to train on,” he said.

“We had four athletes chasing the dream of competing at the U/20 World Junior Championships in Columbia – Hayley achieved the dream qualifying for the 800m, Olissa reached the mark (1500m) but had others in front of her, while Alex (High) was 1cm and Jack (110m Hurdles) were 0.1 sec shy.

“Surely with a Regional Athletics facility the Coffs Coast would have a few more athletes off to the worlds.

“Again, our season was interrupted by the weather, unable to get onto soak fields and pits especially over the last four to six weeks but our athletes still manage to perform at the highest level.”

q Linc Henry competes in the hurdles.

20s event were not ideal, she managed a 1.70m jump.

Conditions were much better in the opens, clearing 1.75m and unlucky at 1.80m.

Amaia Wain also produced a good height of 1.55m to finish seventh in the Under 16 High Jump, this was a great result considering little training due to injury and the

wet conditions on the day.

Jack Sheehan produced a strong run to finish fourth in the Under 20 110m Hurdles in a new personal best of 14.30, this sliced 0.30 sec off his old time and left him just shy (0.10 sec) of a WJQ time.

Linc Henry in the Under 15s stepped up the 100m Hurdles this year and

fifteen-round season.

Last season's senior men's teams the Nambucca Valley Lions and Casino Lions will now be part of a seven team reserves competition.

The AFL North Coast’s women's competition is set to feature six teams; the Coffs Harbour Breakers, Grafton Tigers, Lismore Swans, Northern Beaches Blues, Port Macquarie Magpies, and Sawtell/Toormina Saints.

The finals series gets underway in August with the grand finals scheduled for Saturday, 3 September.

The AFL North Coast’s junior season gets underway on Sunday, 1 May, and will feature five competitions; under 11s and 13s mixed, under 15s boys, and under 14s and 17s Youth Girls.

The Sir Doug Nicholls

Round will be held on Saturday, 21 May. Community Football and Competition Manager Paul Taylor explained AFL North Coast was waiting to hear on whether a club which had gone through recent tough times would be entering teams this season.

“We’re basically ready to go for the season ahead, but are having to wait and see whether the Lismore Swans are going to be able to enter teams,” he said “The two floods have taken a terrible toll on people in the area, with thirteen members of last year’s teams losing their houses in the floods.

“We’re supporting the club with $15,000 in grants plus boots, uniforms, and footies donated by the Sydney

a great team together and after hard work together, made it to the State Championships, held at South Tamworth.

Wow what a wonderful experience to meet and watch some of the State ‘s best, and have the opportunity to play against them.

Our ladies played their hearts

out to go through to the next round, playing a very tough young team, they then met up with old friends from the small club of Delungra, out from Inverell.

Sadly after coming down to a nail-biting game the last end proved to be the end for our ladies at the last end by one point.

The friendship between these

four ladies at such a stressful event was fabulous to see, and the Urunga ladies turned up the following morning to support their friends only to witness a very similar result against the talent Endergen, from Sydney.

SMOTHER

ABC, 8.30pm

Sometimes, you just need one element to grab your attention, and you can forgive the other distractions.

Such is the case in this over-the-top thriller slash mystery slash whodunnit: the setting in an Irish seaside town is stunning – and just as stormy and unpredictable as its characters. If you watched season one, you’ll be enthused to re-enter the lives of the dysfunctional Ahern clan and their matriarch Val (Dervla Kirwan). This week, when Val finds “liar” written in lipstick on her mirror, she believes someone is after her.

Combining the winning ingredients of 2020’s Back to Win with the classic MasterChef recipe, this Fans & Favourites season is set to satisfy even the fussiest diner. For the hit show’s 14th iteration, 12 past contestants and fan favourites – among them series winners Julie Goodwin – will be challenged by 12 fresh-faced foodies. The fancy fare served up has evolved considerably since inaugural winner Goodwin lifted the trophy in 2009 – how will her classic cuisine measure up against a new generation of chefs? Hosted

by Melissa Leong (right), Andy Allen and Jock Zonfrillo.

MINISERIES: FOUR LIVES

SBS, 9.30pm

There’s a curious phenomenon that takes place when a comedic actor portrays a serious role. From Robin Williams in One Hour Photo to Steve Carell in Foxcatcher, comedians going against type have the ability to generate a vacuum of joy and set a truly sinister scene. In this harrowing true-crime drama, Stephen Merchant (Extras) does just that as serial killer Stephen Port, dubbed “the Grindr killer”, who murdered four young gay men in London between June 2014 and September 2015. In tonight’s second part, the families of his first two victims fight for justice against a series of police failings, even as a third body is found in the same location.

Five Goal Thriller Thursday, 14 April 2022

By David WIGLEY

THE Urunga Raiders defeated the Coffs United Lionesses in a five goal 3-2 thriller last Sunday evening in their opening match of the Women’s Coastal League One competition.

Urunga’s Katie Thorn scored the first goal of the season with an athletic sprint from the halfway line breaking through the Lionesses’ defence and slotting the ball home into the bottom corner.

Kate Fry extended the lead for Urunga when she was the first to react to a loose ball to give the Raiders a 2-0 lead at half time.

A second half thriller unfolded when Holly Trimble scored a free kick outside of the penalty box for the Lionesses and a tense finish was set up when Alexandra

q Katie Thorn scored the first goal of the Women’s Coastal League One competition.

Gadd added a second for the Lionesses.

But it was the experience of the Urunga Raiders that shone through to take all three points in the five goal thriller.

Lionesses captain Jordan Maddalena applauded the fighting spirit.

“It took us a little while to get into the game but we eventually lifted and were hungry for the ball, even though we were down the girls never gave up and kept pushing until the end whistle.

“Overall proud of the girls for playing the way we did with the factor of it being our first game together as a whole new team,” said Jordan.

Urunga now play Sawtell on Saturday 23 April at 3pm in Urunga and Coffs United take on last year’s premiers the Boambee Eagles at Mclean street also at 3pm on Saturday 23 April.
