Sawtell’s Special Olympics Swim Stars FROM Page 1 Sports Coordinator, NSW North Coast Special Olympics, told News Of The Area.

Swim training is every Thursday with coach Kim Roach at Sawtell Pool with the lads building strength at the gym, but it is being in the pool they say they love the best.

Josh takes the stresses of competition in his stride.

“I just want to do my best,” he said.

“At the same time, I don’t want to lose, either.

“I just look at the black line on the bottom of the pool and follow it.

“There might be a few swear words, and if I’m not going well I use humour – humour will get you a long way in life,” said Josh.

Blake added, “I don’t know what to expect – this is my first swimming competition – I might feel nervous leading up to it.”

Kate said that technique is as important as time.

“Their swimming has to be technically correct, it’s not just about the time,” said Kate.

Camaraderie amongst the team is supportive and warm-hearted.

“The North Coast has the most vocal cheer squad – there’s Cara’s laugh and Jordan’s clap – there’s a great spirit amongst us,” said Cate Rutherford.

Five local team swimmers will head to Kurri Kurri.

Cara, 31, and Hannah, 20, from Coffs, and Zac, 20, Blake and Josh from Sawtell – all coached by Kim. Special Olympics is an international organisation that provides sporting and social opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities.

The program is run by volunteers and offers a variety of sports: tenpin bowling, gymnastics, golf, cricket and swimming for all ages.

Following extensive inquiries, strike force detectives attended a home in Mordue Street, Jesmond, about 12.25pm on Monday 10 May 2021, where they arrested a 59-year-old man.

He was taken to Waratah Police Station and charged with nine counts of dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception.

Police will allege the man coerced three men to invest in fraudulent business ventures, totalling $1,589,000 between February 2013 and December 2015.

Police will further allege all these funds were utilised for personal use.

He was refused bail to appear at Newcastle Local Court on Tuesday 11 May 2021.

Stop The Stench Authority (EPA) this week as a report is prepared aimed at identifying the source of a continuing offensive odour.

A spokesperson from the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) told News Of The Area, “Biomass and Coffs Harbour City Council’s landfill waste facility have committed to engaging industry experts to assess their operations to help pinpoint the cause of the odours in the England Road area.

“We’ve asked Council and Biomass for an interim report by 14 May, and for

full reports by May 28.

“Council and Biomass have advised the EPA they have capacity to meet these timelines,” the spokesperson added.

“Following an increase in odour-related complaints since early April 2021, EPA officers have been conducting regular inspections of both the landfill waste facility and the Waste Treatment facility to identify what may be causing the offensive odours and work out what can be done to mitigate them.”

The EPA spokesperson concluded, “The interim and final reports are expected to

address all potential odour sources, assess actual odour sources, determine their cause and recommend mitigation strategies.”

A spokesperson for Biomass confirmed the report would be completed as planned.

The Biomass spokesperson also confirmed it has engaged an odour consultant as they prepare the report.

The spokesperson remained adamant that Biomass is not the source of the odour.

Coffs Harbour City Council has also engaged an independent odour specialist and a council spokesperson said ‘We are working closely with them

NSW Tourism Industry Council is thrilled to announce the finalists for the inaugural Top Tourism Town Awards for NSW, with 42 ambitious towns from across the state now in the running to take out this prestigious award.

Amongst the finalists is the Coffs Coast’s own Nana Glen, with the village named in the ‘Top Tourism Town less than 5000 residents’ category.

“The Top Tourism Town Awards celebrate the unwavering spirit of these communities and demonstrates the true value of tourism and the visitor economy to these towns,” said NSW Tourism Industry Council Executive Manager, Greg Binskin.

“It’s a real testament to the resilience of these towns that in this first year, we have an incredible 42 finalists in two categories: those with populations over

5,000 residents and those under 5,000.

“These Awards are all about community collaboration, groups such as Local Chambers of Commerce, Tourism Associations, Councils and Visitor Information Centres have come together to showcase their town as a tourism destination worthy of celebrating.

The Promenade proposed for a makeover

By Emma DARBIN A PROMINENT site in the Coffs Harbour Jetty Precinct has been earmarked for a $25.4 million redevelopment including retail and cafe outlets, office premises and 39 residential apartments.

The redevelopment of The Promenade site on Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour, involves the demolition of existing dated buildings on the site,

and the construction of a three-storey tower which will include commercial premises (office, retail and cafe) on the ground level and 39 residential apartments on the upper levels, underground parking and aquatic leisure facilities.

The proposal also includes public access and art along Coffs Creek and within the adjacent Council-owned parklands.

A development application for a Mixed Use

Development (comprising demolition of existing buildings, construction of Retail and Cafe Premises (1 tenancy), Office Premises (2 tenancies) and Shop top housing (39 residential apartments) has been lodged with Coffs Harbour City Council by The Promenade Coffs Harbour Pty Ltd. The site is located on the corner of Mildura Street and Harbour Drive on a prominent and strategically important site which forms the gateway

to the Jetty Precinct from the CBD and fronts Coffs Creek.

The site was the location of the former Coffs Butter Factory and the creek adjacent to the immediate north was the location of the former Coffs Creek baths.

The site is currently occupied by a two-storey building and single storey annexe located directly on the creek front, and two older dwellings which are occupied by commercial tenancies, including a corner building which has a local heritage listing for its association with the Butter Factory.

An access path, part of the

www.newsofthearea.com.au Coffs Creek walk/bike path, runs directly through the site between the two-storey and single-storey annexe buildings.

The development is proposed to include a large ‘verandah’ for relaxed seating on the creek side and open space containing an elevated garden terrace for the public to enjoy, and a stepped amphitheatre with integrated garden beds connecting to the creek front walkway, which is envisaged to be used for public functions and performances.

The development has been designed to sit within the surrounding tree canopy height of Coffs Creek Reserve, however it breaches the

current height limit for the site of 15.5 metres.

The development is expected to be a ‘landmark’ and capitalise on its Coffs Creek frontage and “provide a distinctive entry point or gateway to the Jetty area from the CBD”, according to development application documents lodged with Council.

It will create both long and short-term employment opportunities, with shortterm opportunities relating to construction of the development, and 15 long term jobs to be created by it.

The current Promenade site is now more than 20 years old, having been constructed in the mid 1990s.

Storytime with the Mayor AS part of this year’s Library and Information Week from May 17-23, National Simultaneous Storytime is taking place on Wednesday.

Typically Storytime is held across the Coffs Harbour, Toormina and Woolgoolga Libraries, and is one of the most popular activities and a special time of the week when local families share stories, sing songs and create simple craft.

So it is super exciting that all families with young children are invited by

Coffs Harbour Libraries to attend their free National Simultaneous Storytime event with the Mayor at the Cavanbah Centre on May 19 at 11am.

Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is chosen to be read simultaneously around the country.

People of all ages take the time to enjoy the same story together whether they are at libraries, schools, preschools, childcare centres, homes or bookshops.

Now in its twenty-first year, the theme for National Simultaneous Storytime

2021 is Adventures in Space and Time and is inspired by the book Give Me Some Space by Philip Bunting.

Taking the intergalactic theme to a whole new level, this Australian book is even being read from space by astronaut Dr Shannon Walker on the International Space Station as part of their mission to get more kids reading.

Philip Bunting’s book Give Me Some Space features main character, Una, who dreams of a life in space.

Life on Earth is just so so-so but how will she get there?

And will she complete her mission to discover life in space?

Author Philip Bunting believes the more fun a

Small Town Tensions

By Sandra MOON

ALLISON Gibbs has just launched her first novel Repentance, set in 1976 in a north coast logging town where counter culture influences create tensions with the timber industry.

Allsion is in conversation with Jess Hill, discussing the book at the Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival where they will discuss the themes of the novel.

“The novel contains a lot about protest movements in general, from the picketing of abortion clinics in the 1940s to the anti-Vietnam marches and women’s lib movement.

“I wanted to examine the polarising power of these issues, of how we view them through the prism of our ancestry, social paradigms and spiritual beliefs,” Ms Gibbs told News Of The Area.

“I’m interested in the tension between peaceful protest and militancy as a means of achieving social change, an issue that gained fresh relevance as I was editing the book, with the

“I love the dynamics of small towns as they are a wonderful microcosm of a variety of people.

“So when you are looking at a moment of change all the players converge into a small space.

“What I was most interested in was looking at social concerns in ‘76.

“At that time there wasn’t a lot of thought about forestry practices, farming practices or concerns for the finite resources,” she said.

“I wanted to explore that moment of change and consider it from different angles.

“Through the eyes and intersecting stories of a 13-year-old girl, a disaffected single mother looking for love, a retired saw-doctor gone feral and the owner of the local sawmill, the book asks what it means to belong, and to love and care for the places where we live.”

AN AUSTRALIAN Red Cross Humanitarian Partner Award has been bestowed upon Woolgoolga High School Teacher-Librarian Megan Hart for her promotion of Red Cross volunteering among the school’s students over the past 12 years.

Megan was nominated for the Red Cross Humanitarian Partner Award by the Woolgoolga Red Cross branch for her promotion of student engagement in many community events, including the annual Red Cross Calling fundraising drive in Woolgoolga over many years.

“Megan remains an active supporter of the Red Cross, she is an exceptional leader who encourages volunteering based on her own strong focus and dedication to community service,” Woolgoolga Red Cross Zone representative Judy Jackson said.

“Megan Hart and Woolgoolga High School have developed a respected connection in the community of Woolgoolga and shown service of exceptional nature which has greatly assisted Australian Red Cross.

“They are worthy of this recognition as a Humanitarian Partner.”

Megan has also attended Woolgoolga Red Cross Branch meetings as a guest speaker, accepted invitations to Branch events and facilitated the Branch’s entry into the world of social media.

Megan and her family travelled to Sydney on Friday 7 May to receive the award at an official World Red Cross Day ceremony.

Megan said she felt honoured to be at the ceremony sitting among so many other Australians who have made enormous contributions to Australian Red Cross, particularly over the past year with so much adversity.

“It was an inspiration sitting at the ceremony with all of those people that have contributed so widely to Red Cross initiatives,” Megan said.

“Encouraging students to volunteer and be involved in the wider community is a big part of what I do so that they can maximise their learning and wellbeing outcomes.

“Volunteering often builds the self esteem of students and can help them aspire to success in all aspects of life.”

The Australian Red Cross Humanitarian Partner Award is a national award which recognises outstanding service to Australian Red Cross by an external humanitarian partner.

The existing vacant tenancy is located beside the current Best & Less store and previously housed a Dollar Tree discount store.

The development application confirms long standing rumours within the northern beaches community that plans were being made to establish an ALDI supermarket at Moonee Market.

The proposed

development will involve the demolition of the existing centre management office, consolidation of two tenancies and the centre management office, internal fit out of the ALDI supermarket for offices, staff break room, amenities, warehouse and shop floor and new external ALDI supermarket business identification signage.

The proposed ALDI supermarket will operate in accordance with the operating hours of the existing nearby Coles supermarket at Moonee Market.

The development is envisaged to enhance the

Moonee Market shopping centre and, if approved, will be the third ALDI supermarket located within the Coffs Harbour local government area, along with ALDI Coffs Harbour and ALDI Toormina.

Primewest took over ownership of Moonee Market shopping centre from Gowing Bros Limited (Gowings) in November 2019, purchasing the complex for $30.5 million.

Primewest is one of Australia’s leading private estate funds management businesses and operates in the real estate funds management sector.

Start the day the bodysurfing way

By Andrea FERRARI A WHIM some 28 years ago, by a couple of friends to bodysurf at 6am on Sawtell Beach has become the high spot of the day for up to 50 people every morning.

Every day, be it Christmas Day or ANZAC Day, if it’s safe, the Sawtell Water Rats are bodysurfing at sunrise.

Frank Watkin, 77, a surfer in his younger days is the unofficial spokesperson for the group.

“It was Bruce Macphail (current Secretary at Sawtell

Surf Life Saving Club) and the late Kel Markham who started the whole thing off,” Frank told News Of The Area.

The common denominator between attendees is that everyone says it’s the best way to start the day.

“I used to say, when I finished my day and had to go to work, ‘the day goes downhill from 7am’.”

It’s not unusual for the swimmers to be watched by the resident wallaby.

Occasionally dolphins pay a visit.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

“The recent downpours brought tree trunks and logs down the rivers, and even a dead cow washed up onto the

beach,” said fellow Water Rat, Kerry Owen.

There’s a science to where they go in.

“I’ve got a good idea where the best spots are and where it’s dangerous and I never let anyone swim where it’s unsafe.”

At 88, Geoff Mould, the ex-Australian Rugby Coach is the oldest regular, since John Mola, 93, has stopped for his hip replacement.

Bruce Coomber, Sawtell, said it’s the perfect start to the day and Helen Owen, Boambee East, added that

q The Water Rats at Sawtell Beach – an awesome start to their day.

the camaraderie amongst the group is amazing.

Hans Don gets on his motorbike at 5.30am from Coffs to be on the Sawtell sand at 5.55am, something

he’s done for 30 years.

Denyce Ryan, Sawtell, says it’s for fitness before she goes into her business – Zevo Global, the printing company in Coffs, which does the

printing for the Water Rats’ tee-shirts and caps.

Young and old, everyone’s welcome to start their day at the best address in the world, says Frank.

q 6am Water Rats bodysurfing is on every day of the year.

Power Plasma Week

By Sandra MOON

DID you know plasma is yellow, known as liquid gold, and the Coffs Coast has a shortage?

To highlight the need and encourage donations The Big Banana will be lit up in yellow on the evening of Sunday May 16 to signify plasma and the start of Power Plasma Week.

There is a critical need for donations currently and Lifeblood is hoping that donors on the Coffs Coast will increase.

Around Australia there

are thirty one thousand donors needed every week, yet only three per cent of the Coffs Harbour community regularly donate blood.

Lifeblood is hoping to turn this around and is urging more locals to roll up their sleeves and donate plasma particularly.

Plasma is considered the ‘liquid gold’ part of blood not only because of its golden colour but also for the growing list of patients it is able to help.

“Plasma and its many treatments are used to

treat shock and burns, fight infectious diseases, prevent blood clots, and stop critical bleeding – often in emergency situations,” said Lifeblood spokesperson Ruth Harrison.

One problem Lifeblood has faced is a large portion of donor cancellations with around a third of all donors cancelling their blood donation appointment at the last minute or not able to make it.

This has left hundreds of couches empty, and meeting hospital orders has been a challenge for Lifeblood, with demand up seven per cent.

“We’d like to thank everyone who has taken

time to donate during the pandemic, but with hospitals

needing more blood, a steady flow of donors every day at our

Coffs Harbour donor centre is vital,” said Miss Harrison.

VOLUNTEERS from BlazeAid have set up camp in Corindi to help those storm-affected residents repair and replace damaged fencing from the February storm – and they are looking for volunteers to join them.

BlazeAid is a volunteerbased organisation that works with families and individuals in rural Australia after disasters such as fires and storms to rebuild fences and other structures.

BlazeAid relies on the

support of volunteers and local communities to keep them fed and housed as they provide the free assistance.

The Corindi Camp has a small team of volunteers so they are looking for enthusiastic locals to help ramp-up the recovery efforts to rebuild around 27 kilometres of fencing that was lost during the February storm event and subsequent flooding.

“BlazeAid provides vital recovery assistance in helping

with physical recovery, but more importantly their presence buoys the community and contributes to the overall community recovery,” said Melinda Brooks, Coffs Harbour City Council’s Community Recovery Officer – Bushfires.

“This is the third time Council has worked with BlazeAid in the past 12 months and their commitment and assistance is greatly appreciated.”

BlazeAid Camp

Coordinator, Bob Abdoo, said local volunteers do not need to have fencing expertise. “‘We provide on-thejob training and any time volunteered – whether it’s one day or a week – will help us achieve positive results for the Corindi community.”

If you have the time and capacity to help the Corindi community, please contact Bob on 0476 679 518 or email blazeaid. corindibeach@gmail.com.

OzTag Senior State Cup is back

By Andrea FERRARI

GET ready – it’s another OzTag weekend coming up from May 14 – 16, at C.ex Stadium Coffs Harbour.

“It’s a big weekend,” confirmed Bill Harrigan,

q

OzTag tournament is back in Coffs.

General Manager and Tournament Director at Australian OzTag. Heading to Coffs are 221 teams competing in the Senior State Cup. “It’s the biggest Senior State Cup we’ve ever had,”

q The thrills and spills of OzTag see it all at C.ex this weekend.

said Bill, “Despite being postponed back in March owing to extreme wet weather and now losing 25 teams who’ve moved on to their winter sports commitments.”

OzTag has been coming to Coffs for 17 years and the teams love it here, according to Bill.

“There’ll be around 4,000 participants and around 1,000 spectators.

“C.ex and Leisure Park is the best in the state, it’s an impressive stadium where we can put effective COVID

restrictions in place.

“We have access to 26 fields at C.ex and an extra eight fields over at Geoff King Motors Park.

“We can ‘cut’ the venue into five zones where teams can play their division games which keeps a number of people in one area.

“It minimises transfers and contact – we’ve used this method in previous matches this year and it works very well.”

Bill said the Coffs home teams’ player ability has really improved since

OzTag started bringing tournaments here, which has inspired local interest across men’s, women’s and junior players.

Nationwide the interest in OzTag is growing with Under 6 teams seeing players as young as four and five learning how to play the game.

“It’s very much a pathway sport leading all the way up to the World Cup,” said Bill.

An Australian-created recreational sport, by former Rugby League

player, Perry Haddock, in 1990, OzTag has taken off as a craze over the past 30+ years for its non-contact style, inspired by rugby league.

NSW teams competing this weekend come from all over the state, including the ACT in the South, to Northern Rivers in the North and out to Tamworth and Warialda in the West.

Does Bill envisage a day when OzTag is in the Olympics?

“Never say never,” he tells News Of The Area.

at helping businesses by encouraging growth through the reduction of the costs of running a business.

Qualifying businesses can use the rebate to claim back the cost of eligible NSW and local government fees and charges due and paid from 1 March 2021.

These include, but are not limited to, food authority licences, liquor licences, tradesperson licences, event fees, outdoor seating fees and council rates.

Local Effect of Indian Travel Ban

By Sandra MOON

AS the Indian Travel Ban under the Biosecurity Act makes global headlines and is challenged in the High Court, News Of The Area spoke to Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh about the reaction from the local Indian community.

Mr Singh said there were a number of reactions to the travel ban which has seen Australia become the only country in the world to ban its own citizens from returning to their country.

“Everyone in the community that I have spoken to understands the need and we are thankful for our safe and effective Covid

response.

“They’re also waiting now for the border to reopen for anyone who is there in India to come back home.

“It has also affected a few family reunions where we might have a wife or fiancé for example who is stuck on the wrong side of the ocean and weren't able to get travel exemptions to Australia even though they had the right visa and this has led to some concern and frustration,” he said.

“The one thing to reiterate is everyone is happy they are safe here.

“I’ve not heard criticism of the flight ban but I have heard criticism of the fact that it is

illegal now and the difference in treatment in people coming from India and other countries and the fact that it is illegal.”

When pressed, Mr Singh commented that the criticism from the local Indian community is that the threat of jail is unnecessary if flights are closed anyway.

Further details of the criticism, according to Mr Singh, is that Indians feel singled out as this is the first time that the Biosecurity Act has been used in this way.

Mr Singh agrees with the criticisms but is encouraged by the repatriation flights that are planned once the border opens again.

premises physically located and operating in NSW, be registered for the goods and services tax (GST), and provide a declaration that the business has a turnover of at least $75,000 per year.

Businesses only need to apply for the rebate once but can submit multiple claims until the full value of $1,500 is reached.

The rebate will be available until 30 June 2022.

Applications for the rebate can be made at https://www.service.nsw. gov.au/small-business-feesand-charges-rebate or by phoning Service NSW on 13 77 88.

Naru Surf Win at 2021 Surfing Awards

By Sandra MOON

LAST week the Naru Indigenous Corporation, operating the Naru Surf Gathering programme, took out the Indigenous Surfing Community Celebration Award at the 2021 Australian Surfing Awards.

The annual Naru Surf Gathering has been underway since its inception at NAIDOC Week in 2017.

Naru’s Amber Mercy told News Of The Area, “We have proudly raised funds and awareness for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention as a part of our Gathering.

“Mental health awareness and wellbeing is at the forefront of running the gathering and community

days.

“In 2020 we knew we needed to adapt and decided that we could build so much more for the community we live in and surrounding communities.”

It was from there that the corporation proudly launched the Naru Goori Groms which averages fifty young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons in attendance from various communities on the mid north coast and throughout NSW each Goori Grom Day. “November 2020 was our biggest Gorri Grom Day with over eighty kids giving surfing a go,” said Ms Mercy.

“We have to cap our days as we want to ensure we are able to provide a fantastic day

for all involved.

“Our passion is creating a safe and inviting space for our community/communities to engage in Surfing as a form of wellbeing, healing and connection” she said.

Ngaarlu (Naru) means water in Gumbyanggirr, explained the team behind Naru Surf Gathering.

“The Ocean is a significant aspect of our culture and the benefits of promoting a healthy lifestyle in an open and safe environment is our goal.

“We want to see changed generations and if you have ever been to one of our days the transformation before and after entering the waterit is so tangible and real.”

Ms Mercy added, “Naru

New Emergency Connectivity in Coffs region

By Andrea FERRARI THE PUBLIC Safety Network (PSN), formerly known as The Government Radio Network, has been expanded across the Coffs Coast with three new sites at Upper Orara, Korora and Mt Coramba.

Next to Australia’s triple zero emergency hotline, the PSN is the most critical communications network in NSW. For residents of these regions it means faster and more effective reporting and response to emergency services.

The main aim of the PSN is to consolidate all emergency resources into one network, ensuring greater coverage and reliability than if each department had its own independent communication system.

Tom Reeve, Captain at Orara Rural Fire Service

Friday, 14 May, 2021

told News Of The Area, “It’s absolutely brilliant, and about time because it allows us to talk with the other emergency services.

“It also gives us better coverage where there has been little to no reception, and allows a digital transfer of data which is really important, so we all know where each other is.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the new radio sites, delivered by the NSW Telco Authority, are vital to ongoing community safety in our region.

“These sites provide emergency services organisations with a single, integrated network on which to communicate,” Gurmesh said.

“By expanding the footprint of this critical infrastructure, we are ensuring that frontline responders have a more reliable network to help

keep people and places safe.

“PSN sites were crucial in protecting communities and supporting the Rural Fire Service, Police, Fire and Rescue, Ambulance and the State Emergency Service during the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires in NSW, and the recent floods.”

Minister for Digital and Minister for Customer Service Victor Dominello said the NSW Government was investing $600+ million in essential infrastructure to better protect communities.

“The new radio sites at Upper Orara, Korora and Mt Coramba will make it easier for our local emergency services to communicate when it matters most,” he said.

“The PSN’s expansion represents the biggest investment in critical c o m m u n i c a t i o n s infrastructure by the NSW Government in two decades.”

Swimming in Coffs the Masters way

By Andrea FERRARI

THERE’S something for everyone in Masters Swimming according to Hilary Young, President of the Coffs Harbour Masters Swimming club (CHMS), which trains at Coffs Harbour Aquatic Centre, Park Beach (indoor pool).

Chatting with Hilary at the club’s Friday Self Motivated session she explained, “The focus that makes Masters Swimming different is that all four strokes are coached – many swimming clubs just do freestyle.

“There’s a range of abilities so we name the laps

accordingly to indicate ability.

“Choose your lane from wine-and-cheese for a leisurely swim through to white-water speedy.

“I've been a member of Masters Swimming since the early 1990s (initially in ACT) and think the culture of the association’s motto: Fitness, Fun and Friendship in swimming, remains strong and very healthy.”

Coach Danny Kollen is a consummate professional and encourages the best out of everyone without pressuring anyone.

Hilary says the membership is fortunate to have Danny's support,

coaching and pool space, especially over the colder

months.

After 33 years coaching Masters Swimmers and innumerable awards won by club members, Danny’s programs are legendary.

Danny Kollen told News Of The Area, “The social interaction between adult swimmers and the camaraderie that develops very quickly is supportive and comes with all participants.

“Whether you are just beginning the swimming journey, or you have been addicted to the swimming movement for a multitude of years, here everybody is equal, and they swim to improve their own personal

best time.

“Over the years I have been coaching I have witnessed many local swimmers become Australian Masters Swimming Champions and seen personal efforts to achieve their individual goals.

“It has been very rewarding and personally gratifying to have played some small part helping to facilitate their achievements.

“Now we have a number of aspiring swimmers that will be taking a leading role in lifting the club again to great heights.

“I look forward to seeing the Coffs Harbour swimming future unfold.”

Kieren Dell, Chair of RDAMNC, said, “Regional Australia is poised for a period of growth and renewal following natural disasters and the pandemic, with Government rightly focussing on our regions, making this a wonderful time to be involved in an organisation like Regional Development Australia as it seeks to help shape the future prosperity of regional Australia”.

Mr Dell was appointed to the position of chair of RDAMNC earlier this year, and has extensive experience in business, including 18 years running his own business, Majestic Cinemas, which was founded in Nambucca Heads in 2002, has operated in Port Macquarie since 2006 and has six other sites.

He also has over 35 years’ experience in financial services at senior and CEO level, including running two industry bodies.

The Mid North Coast

committee oversees Woolgoolga to Taree and includes Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands.

It liaises with all levels of government to help funding be used effectively in regions and has offered advice for dealing with issues such as flooding and COVID-19.

RDAs around the country fed back to the Federal government that Homebuilder timelines were too tight, and influenced the extension of deadlines.

Mr Dell told News Of The Area, “This is a real opportunity for people who want to make a difference to the lives of their fellow Mid North Coast residents by helping influence where funding for infrastructure is spent in the region.”

Applications are now open for positions as an RDAMNC Committee member or for nominations for the position of Deputy Chair, with appointments being for an initial 12-month term.

THE myLocal Coffs Harbour business awards were held on Friday 7 May in what is described as an “outstanding success” by Simon Fabian, the founder of MyLocal, and the creator of myLocal Coffs Harbour App. The three local Coffs award winners as voted by the general public were:

Captains Performance

Captains Performance is a fresh, new and exciting motorcycle performance and service centre.

“Talking to the Captain and Mrs Performance about their exciting new venture, their focus is on the whole motorcycle community in Coffs Harbour and surrounding areas,” Simon said.

“These guys are passionate about motorcycles and people.

“They were a pleasure to meet and are sure

to offer an outstanding service,” said Veronika from myLocal.

Flirt Adult Store

Veronika and Heather, the Client Relations Managers at myLocal said, “This business is not what one would expect.

“With a focus on education, hygiene and safety, they are more than an Adult store and offer Coffs Harbour something truly special.”

Breakwall Cafe and Restaurant

Simon said, “We sent a mystery shopper to Breakwall Cafe and Restaurant a couple of weeks ago, the feedback was brief, 'OMG Awesome!’ – short and sweet.

“Judging by the number of votes, the mystery shopper was correct,” Heather added.

The award night attendees enjoyed their night at Red-C Events.

They shared a fantastic meal from Red Shell

and dessert was a delicious range of cupcakes and donuts from Sugar Plum Cakery and OMG! Decadent Donuts.

All proceeds from the event and the myLocal Coffs Harbour App go toward solving homelessness, with the myLocal project designed to fund the Global Glamping Charities Homelessness Project.

Simon said, “We would love the community to get behind our mission to solve the homelessness problem in Coffs Harbour by downloading and using the myLocal Coffs Harbour App for free.”

The nearest records for a Diamond Dove on Birdata are for birds near Tamworth and Glen Innes.

“This is normally a bird of the inland, which has somehow wandered our way.”

Richard urges birders that if they do see an unusual bird to report it on Birdline NSW. “Please get a photo if you can, even if it is poor.

“This is the time of the year when young birds often roam far and wide.”

Housing Initiative 2041

q The first ever NSW Housing Initiative is a twenty year plan aimed at reducing housing stress.

The NSW Government has released its first ever housing strategy for the State, outlining a 20-year vision for better housing across NSW.

By Sandra MOON

THE NSW Government has released its first ever housing strategy for the State, outlining a 20-year vision for better housing across NSW. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said, “Housing is a topic on everyone's lips at the moment and it is important to deliver innovative and affordable housing so that we don't see a situation like we have where the demand outstrips the supply leading to higher prices, and contributing to homelessness.

“The Housing 2041 strategy and an initial two-year action plan will deliver improved outcomes immediately and into the future by focusing on housing supply, diversity, affordability and resilience.

“This strategy will allow us to better plan and deliver housing that meets the needs of people on the Coffs Coast now and over the next 20 years,” Mr Singh said.

“We’ve listened to stakeholders who have told us about the importance of housing that people can afford, that is sustainable and that meets the needs of households as they age.”

Mr Singh said the strategy will help provide innovative solutions to complex housing challenges.

“New and innovative housing will be delivered when and where it is needed, supported by sustainable technologies that can help reduce living costs.

“Simple things like solar panels, smart homes and things like the technology we are seeing now into the future.

“There will be ideas and innovations and designs that will come to the front in the next few years and they are things that we need to consider.

“For example working with innovative companies such as Buildonix which is located here in Coffs Harbour could help build more

innovative housing.”

Housing 2041 includes a strong focus on supporting regional NSW on the back of recent crises including COVID-19, bushfires and floods.

The strategy and inaugural two-year action plan features better access to data, including the launch of the Government Property Index (GPI) – an online interactive mapping tool that will increase transparency of the State’s property portfolio and encourage private investment on public land.

The strategy will also establish a cross-sector Expert Housing Advisory Panel to guide the delivery of Housing 2041 and increase collaboration across government and the housing sector.

The strategy also aims to make better use of government-owned land and information to develop new housing types, tenures and delivery models.

Time running out to enter Business Awards

By Sandra MOON

CALLING all Coffs Coast businesses.

Time is running out to enter the 2021 Coffs Coast Business Awards.

With the awards now in their eighteenth year, member of the Coffs Harbour Chamber of Commerce Cath Fowler said, “The Coffs Coast Business Awards remain the Coffs Coast's leading, independent, prestigious small business awards programme.”

All entrants or nominations must operate in the Coffs Harbour, Dorrigo, Bellingen, Urunga or Nambucca Local Government areas.

Ms Fowler told News Of The Area, “The Awards hosted by the Coffs Chamber are not only the business networking event of the year, it’s a celebration of the business community’s contribution to the economic vitality and quality of life in the region.

“We’d love you to join us in showing our appreciation and gratitude to those that do the daily grind, from across a diverse range of businesses and industries, within our region,” she said.

Micro, small, medium and large members of the business community are represented at the annual event.

The Coffs Coast Business Awards are an opportunity

to honour the diversity, innovation and excellence of micro, small, medium and large businesses throughout the Coffs Coast region – Coffs Harbour, Woolgoolga, Sawtell, Toormina, Bellingen, Dorrigo, Urunga and Nambucca.

Ms Fowler said, “Past Award finalists and winners have benefited from the resulting publicity and exposure gained through the Awards.

“With the numerous leveraging opportunities involved in such a credible Awards programme, why would you not want to be in it?

“Previous Business Award winners have gone on to become highly

Female Sports Change Rooms Priority

By Sandra MOON ACCESS and inclusion for females participating in sport is set to improve through the $100 million Stronger Country Communities Fun, with Round 4 applications open for communities to apply.

The funding has been welcomed by Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour, who said female sporting teams in our regions will benefit.

The funding aims to provide new and improved facilities, and Mr Singh said our regional towns will see as a result even more investment in community infrastructure and programs,

“Up to $50 million is dedicated to the delivery of female sports facilities and programs, to encourage greater female participation across all levels and codes across regional NSW,” Mr Singh said.

“The Stronger Country Communities Fund is all about ensuring regions like the Coffs Coast benefit from having the very best facilities for local residents.”

The Deputy Premier John Barilaro, Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor and Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning Sarah Mitchell also encouraged communities to get their applications for this round of funding in.

“Facilities designed exclusively for women

should be standard and this funding will help women all over rural and regional NSW overcome a major hurdle and feel empowered to play the sports they love with comfort and confidence,” Mrs Taylor said.

“We’re supporting

female athletes of all ages and backgrounds to participate in sport, from grassroots to elite level and the Stronger Country Communities Fund is all about building a safer, stronger NSW for everyone.”

AFP calling for female recruits THE Australian Federal Police (AFP) is undertaking a recruitment drive to increase the number of female police officers protecting the country.

The AFP plans to recruit hundreds of female officers under a new strategy to help outsmart serious crime and bring offenders to justice.

Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews and AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw have announced a new sworn-female workforce target of 30 per cent by 2028.

The enhancement will ensure the AFP is more representative of the Australian community and help build greater diversity of thought and skills in the fight against terrorism, foreign interference, transnational serious organised crime, cyber and

fraud and child exploitation.

Minister Andrews said a new recruitment website has been launched showcasing successful female role models to inspire young women and girls to consider a career in policing and keep Australians safe every day.

"Increased female representation in law enforcement and national security roles is not only good for women, it's good for our entire society," Minister Andrews said.

"My message for any young woman or girl considering such a career is simple, 'apply'.

“Apply your skills, expertise, imagination, and perspective to the serious challenges we face as a nation."

Commissioner Kershaw said boosting the number of female sworn officers

within the AFP and keeping them in the job was one of his priorities when he was appointed in October 2019.

"Diversity makes the AFP stronger and more successful,” he said.

“Different perspectives, different cultures and lived experiences are integral to a modern police agency.

"The AFP already has a number of senior, experienced women within the organisation and incredible women coming through the ranks, but we want and need to do better.”

Commissioner Kershaw said the AFP also wants to attract more people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, including Indigenous Australians.

“The benefit of diversity challenges the status quo, it helps with problem

solving, especially during investigations,” he said.

Sworn women currently comprise 22 per cent of the AFP, a 2 per cent increase since 2016.

This includes police and Protective Service Officers.

Recent AFP research revealed there was a

misconception, particularly among women, that combating crime was primarily achieved with physical force.

"While some women viewed that as a barrier to pursuing a career with the AFP, not all women do,” Commissioner Kershaw

said.

“At the end of the day we want to offer choices to our personnel.”

Emma wants to help others achieve success in STEM EMMA Serisier is not half way through her degree in Mathematics and Medicine at the University of Queensland but has already achieved statewide and national recognition.

She won the NSW Rural Young Scientist of the Year Award in 2017, was in the 2020 Australian International Science and Engineering Fair team and won the Australian Stockholm Junior Water Prize for her work on soil and water quality on farms.

Emma was also the Zonta Club of Coffs Harbour’s Young Women in Public Affairs

Award winner at this year’s International Women’s Day Breakfast.

Because of her successes, and her experiences in achieving them, Emma wants to establish a mentoring system for rural students to foster passion in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) careers.

Arriving at university and not knowing anyone, and seeing that urban students seemed to be much more confident and knowledgeable, caused Emma to doubt herself.

She felt that, had she had the same access to STEM resources that her university peers had in secondary school, her introduction to university might have been much more comfortable.

Emma said she has been contacted by many people

recently who share her experiences, which has made her more determined to help others have more positive support.

She has identified several main barriers for rural students in developing their interests and skills in STEM. The first is the focus that many rural schools tend to have in extracurricular activities.

Emma said, “While there was science in the classroom and my school was very supportive of me in STEM, there was not the same focus on academic and artistic extra-curricular activities as there was for sport.”

She also feels that there is limited access to STEM researchers in rural areas for students for them to gain a better understanding of the

COVID-19 vaccine supplies to local general practices are set to increase substantially from this week, allowing more people to get the jab.

GP clinics that have been receiving 50 doses of vaccine a week will see that figure triple.

Clinics receiving 100 doses a week will now receive 200.

The increase will happen over the next three weeks as new supplies are delivered to more than 110 participating general practices on the North

Coast.

The change will increase the number of weekly doses offered by general practices to the community from 12,950 to 22,550.

potential careers available to them.

A related issue is that rural students have many natural resources to explore through STEM but little guidance.

To mitigate the disadvantage that rural students interested in STEM have, Emma is in the process of starting a mentoring program, called STEMpower, for young women from regional Australia who want to get into STEM. She is in the planning stages but is already gratified by the moral support from many people and organisations, including ABC Trailblazers, which is a program that supports young people making a difference in their regional communities.

Domino’s makes its move on Woolgoolga

By Emma DARBIN

A THIRD pizza store is proposed to set up shop in Woolgoolga following the lodgment of a development application for a Domino's Pizza store in the town.

The proposed store is to be located on the corner of Beach Street and Nightingale Street, Woolgoolga, within the Woolgoolga Central shopping centre beside JT’s General Store.

The development application is for alterations and additions to a commercial development and signage for a take-away food and drink premises, and extended operational hours outside of the existing shopping centre hours.

If approved, the Domino’s Pizza Shop will be the third takeaway pizza outlet in Woolgoolga, along with Woolgoolga Pizza Place and Riptide Pizzeria.

The proposed hours of operation for the store are from Monday to Sunday 8am to 2am.

The new pizza store is anticipated to increase employment opportunities in the Woolgoolga area.

“The Domino’s will contribute to the economic diversity in the area through providing employment once operational and contribute to the mix of goods and services available to the area,” development application documents stated.

“The extended hours will promote employment and economic development in the area.

“The proposal does not impact on the viability of future residential uses and surrounding businesses alike in line with the commercial context of the Woolgoolga area.”

The proposed Domino’s store will involve the

refurbishment of an existing vacant commercial tenancy in Woolgoolga Central shopping centre, and the store will include an ordering counter and kitchen only with no table seating to be provided for dining-in.

The development application is currently on public exhibition by Coffs Harbour City Council until Tuesday 18 May and can be viewed on the Coffs Harbour City Council website at https://www.coffsharbour. nsw.gov.au in the DA Tracker section under 0946/21DA. If approved, the store will be the third Domino’s Pizza store in the Coffs Harbour region, along with Domino’s Pizza Coffs Harbour and Domino’s Pizza Toormina.

Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd is the largest pizza chain in Australia with around 700 Domino's stores operating all over the country.

During the demonstration the activists held signs that read, ‘Shows Over! Empty

the Tanks!’, “‘End Animal Displays!’, and ‘Born to Be Wild’.

These activists joined the ninth annual worldwide ‘Empty the Tanks’ event in which activists throughout the United States, Europe, Africa and Australia attend protests outside local dolphin entertainment venues to speak out on the cruelty of keeping dolphins in captivity.

“The NSW Government made the compassionate move to ban dolphin breeding in NSW, however Zippy Bella and Jet, the three remaining dolphins at Dolphin Marine Conservation Park are still exploited in ‘hands on’ dolphin experiences and required to perform confusing tricks twice a day,” said a Dolphin Freedom Fighters spokesperson.

longer wish to see wild animals being used for entertainment purposes.

“We are asking that Dolphin Marine Conservation Park retire their dolphins to a sanctuary, where they can feel an ocean current, and are no longer required to perform degrading tricks for a dwindling audience.

“It’s time to empty the tanks.”

Dolphin Freedom Fighters was established in December of 2020, seeking an end to dolphins being used in entertainment facilities.

The organisation encourages rehabilitation to the wild when possible and when not possible, the funding of ocean sanctuaries for dolphins to retire to.

World-first automated bus hits next stop in Coffs Harbour

By Andrea FERRARI “YOU wait ages for one bus…then three come along together” might just become redundant as trials of electric, automated transport move forwards.

Coffs Harbour transport customers will be the first in the world to climb aboard a fully automated public shuttle bus to operate without a supervisor or a driver, as the NSW Government extends its trial of world leading technology in a regional area.

This step continues the trial of public transport electric vehicles to assist the government in their goal of

moving to a fully electric fleet by 2030.

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said the next phase of the BusBot trial would see the public shuttle service operate at the Coffs Harbour Botanic Garden in true driverless mode, making it the first automated passenger shuttle bus service to reach this global milestone.

“This is world-leading technology being pioneered in Coffs Harbour, exploring how automated vehicle technology can help deliver a more reliable and accessible public transport offering, and implement services in new

areas.”

While there is no supervisor on board, the vehicle will be monitored remotely.

Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour said the vehicle had proven popular since the trial launched in partnership with operator Busways, tech provider EasyMile and Coffs Harbour City Council in December 2018.

“We first saw the BusBot operate with a supervisor around the Northern Breakwall and the Marian Grove Retirement Village, before starting at the Botanic Garden in 2020, so it’s exciting to hit the next milestone by now removing that supervisor,” Mr Singh said.

q The BusBot trialling an electric, automated, driverless public shuttle service at the Coffs Harbour Botanic Garden.

“The Coffs Harbour community has been thrilled to be a part of this historymaking trial, with more than 10,000 locals and visitors between the ages of one and

103 taking part.”

Busways Managing Director Byron Rowe said, “We are proud to work closely with the NSW Government and its commitment to

explore future travel options to make transport even more accessible and convenient for communities for decades to come.”

For Will, getting up is the hardest part of the day, while Tim is up at 3am.

“I suffer from PTSD so I’m not a good sleeper, and I really enjoy my early mornings,” said Tim Before bedding down at sunset Will edits entertaining update videos and posts on TikTok and Instagram. “(I do it) for people following our journey, then I’ll go to sleep after that,” said Will.

With a supporter network, the guys find beds with friends, or recommended hostels, and in Coffs it was Reflections near the Showground.

They buy their food en route and have supplies of

jerky given to them by local Brisbane butcher, Capalaba Fresh Meat & Poultry, the manager of which has offered young Will a job in the future.

The pair starts the day off talkative before getting quiet around midday.

“Then we’re all chatty again by the end of the day,” Will said.

“I enjoy my own thoughts and the tranquillity,” said Tim. “I started thinking existential thoughts about twelve years ago, asking the bigger questions, and I wasn’t satisfied with the answers… now I find peace in nature, and think.”

Brisbane 2 Sydney walk to raise money for The Salvos

By Andrea FERRARI

THE SEED was sown for 15-year-old Will Neisler to walk from Brisbane to Sydney when he heard about actor Samuel Johnson unicycling around Australia in 2014.

“I woke up one morning feeling I wanted to do something big like that too.

"I decided on a big walk.”

Will enlisted the help of his mate, former Queensland Police Officer Tim Koloi, 46, and the pair began to plan.

Seeing an opportunity to raise money for charity, the guys chose The Salvation Army with a particular interest in mental health and homeless programs, and are hoping to raise $50,000.

With 1,200kms in their sights as they left Brisbane on April 21, arriving in Coffs Harbour 20 days later, Will and Tim had a wander around

Best ever for Bello Show WHAT a turnout it was for the Bellingen Agricultural Show this year!

A record number of people entered the show last weekend.

The Show Committee reports that 2021 has been the best return ever and demonstrates how missed the event was last year when it was cancelled due to COVID-19.

COVID safety measures were in place this year with an online ticketing initiative.

Show President Ms Gillian Anderson admitted there were a few minor hiccups with the ticketing but it's the way of the future and didn’t stop anyone from enjoying the show.

“People quickly learnt, if they had their ticket, they were straight through the gate with no fuss.”

Thanks to the support of the community and funding grants available

for agricultural shows the committee were able to come back from the rollercoaster of 2020.

“It was wonderful to see so many families staying for the whole day, connecting with friends and family and enjoying the great vibe of the show,” Gillian said.

“Bellingen wants its show, and they came out in droves to prove it.”

Once inside, people found the showground abuzz with activities – from singers and dancers in the Entertainment Tent and equestrian events in the main ring through to working dog demonstrations, woodchopping, the Mongrel Dog Show, Young Farmers Challenge and the Partner Carrying Competition.

One of the new attractions in the rides section was Australia's tallest mobile climbing wall.

Children also flocked to the dodgems, the octopus ride, the Reptile World talks, Sydney Puppet Theatre, the

petting zoo and the free face painting.

The pavilions were also bursting with exhibits – paintings, sculpture and photographs, farm and garden produce, arts and craft – while outside people could check out displays of vintage motor bikes and cars, an array of food

stalls, and all the fun of the sideshow alley.

Acclaimed Indigenous chef Clayton Donovan, the Macksville-born bush tucker champion and TV presenter, was a special guest at this year’s show.

He gave a daily cooking demonstration and hosted a lunch for 12 lucky people

The Coffs Harbour Waste Conference looks ahead to 2030

By Andrea FERRARI THE main discussion points to emerge from The Coffs Harbour Waste Conference were the need for improved recycling, improved reusage of soft plastics and the implementation of circular economy principles in waste management systems.

Greg Freeman, Conference Convenor, told News Of The Area, “To achieve the National Goal of reducing waste to landfill by 80% by 2030 we need improved recycling, more food and garden waste collection services around Australia, the extraction of energy from soft plastics that would otherwise be landfilled and to integrate the principles of the circular economy into waste management practices.

The Conference, in its 25th year, held at the Opal Cove Resort, was attended by 346

delegates and is the largest annual gathering of waste management professionals from across Australia.

Day One featured an inspirational keynote address

by Cate McQuillan, creator of the popular children’s TV series Dirt Girl.

She spoke about the importance of community participation in recycling and composting programs and how we can reduce waste to landfill through social change.

Presentations on Community Education by educators in local councils around Australia followed.

Energy from Waste focused on how we could turn soft plastics into energy rather than depositing them in landfill.

The challenges faced by regional areas in managing wastes looked at how to create economic opportunities from waste recycling, extending

Stories for a More Beautiful World

By Andrea FERRARI

AWARD winning storyteller Jenni Cargill-Strong is bringing her Stories for a More Beautiful World concert and workshop to Bellingen, May 21 and 22.

Her first live event since COVID, the interactive event will give her audience the opportunity to chat, learn and connect.

The event title is inspired by a book, ‘The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible’ by Charles Eisenstein, the teacher, speaker, and writer whose work focuses on themes of civilization, consciousness, money, and human cultural evolution.

“For deep positive social change to occur, we need more beautiful stories of what is possible,” said Jenni.

“Our ‘no’ is only as strong as our ‘yes’ is compelling.

“However, stories can help us in many other ways.

BEES will become a world focus on May 20 as the stars of World Bee Day but as Monica Rich, Secretary of the Mid North Coast Amateur Beekeepers Association (MNCABA) said, “Bee Day is every day”.

The Coffs Harbour based MNCABA is a thriving resource for anyone interested in bees, bee keeping and/or a bee business.

Monica told News Of The Area, “The association’s activities are mainly about our monthly meetings, the legal need to manage hives and how the club assists members to build knowledge and skills in this regard.

“There’s also the social interaction and sharing with like-minded people.

Bee engaged for World Bee Day “Lots of information is discussed.

“Issues are brainstormed and there are some experienced beekeepers who will assist members in the community.”

Open Days are held at members’ homes where they open their hives to the group, and the format is like a field day.

Up to 50 might attend (bee suits are provided if you haven’t got one) and everyone is made welcome; to learn and experience all things bees.

“A lot of people are

getting into the stingless bees – especially schools – and they are just as effective, often getting into the smaller flowers to pollinate better than the larger European honeybees,” said Monica “But the stingless bees can only travel 500 meters whereas the European honeybee can travel five kilometres.”

“People ask all sorts of questions, such as our perspective on flow hives, how to open and operate a bee business, and disease issues.”

MNCABA offers

workshops, hive checks and overall education.

“They learn that they can’t just set up a hive and turn on the tap and honey will flow out,” said Monica.

The date of World Bee Day, May 20, is the birth date in 1734 of pioneer beekeeper, Anton Janša.

The purpose of Bee Day is to acknowledge the role of bees and other pollinators for the ecosystem.

The theme in 2021 is “Bee Engaged” and inspires a focus on beekeeping awareness and the importance of bee-derived products.

COFFS COASTNews Of The Area

From humble beginnings... the journey to success MAY 1996 saw the commencement of Coffs Harbour Neighbour Aid, the much-anticipated social support service targeted to frail older people and younger people with a disability living in the Coffs Harbour local community.

Volunteering Coffs Harbour Incorporated was successful in its bid for a small recurrent funding grant under the Home and Community Care Program (HACC) to employ a part-time Coordinator to organise individualised services aimed at reducing social isolation and enhancing quality of life for older people living at home.

In a small office tucked away at the Community Village, the wheels of Coffs Harbour Neighbour Aid began to turn.

By the end of the first year, 37 clients were regularly supported by a team of 44 dedicated

volunteers.

Over the years, we evolved and grew to meet demand.

With additional government funding in 2004 we diversified into the provision of domestic assistance, and in 2005 we opened an outreach office in Woolgoolga, to further promote access to services for older people in the local Punjabi community, with much success.

Rebranding to Linked to Life in 2017 was a step toward modernising and improving our professional image in the local community.

We wanted a name that depicted exactly what we do and the values that underpin the organisation.

In 2018 we further expanded into the provision of Home Care packages, to ensure our clients could continue to receive quality care throughout their entire

ageing journey.

Linked to Life now employs 10 core staff, 25 Direct Care staff and are proudly supported by a

team of 60 volunteers and provide quality services to over 350 people.

The rewards of volunteering with Linked To Life... come join the team!

JAN Ryan signed up as a volunteer with what was then Neighbour Aid in January 1997, just 6 months after the organisation’s inception in May 1996.

For 24 years Jan has performed a vital role in bringing much joy to the lives of those she has touched and is instrumental in supporting older people to remain living in their own home.

“I had tried volunteering for several different service types in the local community, but when I heard about this new Neighbour Aid service, I knew it was the right fit for me,” Jan said.

“I knew that spending time with older people was something I would really enjoy.

“In my time with Linked

to Life I have had the pleasure of being linked with many, many amazing characters who have had many and varied stories to tell.

“As much as I have been able to help them, volunteering with older people has also taught me a lot about myself and life in general.

“That’s what’s kept me volunteering with Linked to Life for so long.

“I never cease to be inspired by the experiences, wisdom and resilience of our older generation.”

Most recently, Jan has been assisting Eva to get out to the shops.

Once a fortnight they go out to shop for groceries, then enjoy a cuppa and friendly chat.

This small act of kindness has made all the difference

in Eva’s life, and both enjoy some laughter and good times.

Volunteering is a great way of using your spare time for a worthwhile cause.

Caring about our neighbours and helping out when you can is what makes communities great.

Volunteering one or two hours a week to help an older person manage the simple tasks of daily living can go a long way to enabling them to remain living at home independently and prevent premature admission to a permanent care facility.

Bananas on the Coffs Coast

By David TUNE

RENOWNED for having the Big Banana tourist attraction, the Coffs Coast region has long been associated with supplying top-quality bananas to the area and markets beyond.

However, over the last few decades the number of banana farms and farmers in the region has decreased, with pressures from increasing real estate prices to fluctuating markets and the uptake of blueberries as an alternate crop all impacting on the local industry.

The region now produces about 4% of the national crop, and the industry is still run by families managing relatively small farms, many of which have been passed on from generation to generation.

Local farmer Michael Singh is a third-generation banana farmer and manages the family's 30 acre farm near Sandy Beach.

He told News Of The Area, “Our farm works well as a family run enterprise, it’s not too big for us to handle ourselves, and is capable of

delivering a decent return for us over the years.”

While his farm is irrigated from two on site dams, the recent drought had a major impact on the farm’s productivity, reducing yields by up to 40%.

“One of the major challenges any farmer faces is inconsistency in the local climate, and we have gone from severe drought to major floods over the couple of last years, and that impacts on our ability to deliver quality fruit to the market,” Michael

NEWS OF THE AREA

said.

A climate snapshot by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage for the North Coast region reported that rainfall variability in the region has been severe, ranging from the Millennium drought to two of the wettest years on record for the region.

The expectation is that the region will become progressively warmer, and that rainfall in summer will decrease, but autumn rain will increase.

The future of the banana industry in our region will be influenced by just how variable our local climate becomes.

Local growers treated to Berry Plant Protection Fair q Local growers at the exhibits at the Berry Plant Protection Fair. Photo: supplied.

By David TUNE THE Berry Plant Protection Fair, was held on Wednesday 28 April at Bucca and was a collaboration between NSW DPI, OzGroup Co-Op Ltd. and Berries Australia.

The purpose of the event was to provide an opportunity for local growers to meet with agronomists, industry experts and crop protection companies to learn more about plant protection techniques for berries, and to extend their expert support networks.

NSW Department of Primary Industries Berry Development officer Melinda Simpson said this is an evolution of previous

workshops focusing on plant protection, and that the team wanted to hold an event that was more broadscale, offering a wide array of learning options to growers.

“After the year we experienced with COVID-19, we wanted to provide opportunities for growers, agronomists and industry experts to come together to connect, network and learn,” Ms Simpson said.

With over twenty exhibitors at the fair, talks and demonstrations covered topics from soil health/ biology, spray calibration and coverage, pest and disease management, beneficial bugs, pest monitoring tools and more.

Growers showed a keen interest in the technical side of presentations for the key speakers at the event, which included Dr Nancy Schellhorn (Co-founder & CEO: RapidAIM), Dr Graham Stirling (Nematologist: Biological Crop Protection) and Dr Jay Anderson (Plant Pathologist: SCU).

With over 100 growers in attendance and a high level of engagement and interest in learning new topics, networking and asking questions, the NSW Department of Primary Industries, OzGroup and Berries Aus are already looking forward to continuing the event in the future.

Joint venture tests the friendship

Gabby and Ted are best friends and after a number of discussions, decide to embark on a small business venture together. Gabby has saved enough to fund the initial capital to put into the business.

In return, Ted plans to work full-time in the business while Gabby will only work around 15 hours a week. Gabby and Ted decide that each will own 50 percent of the business.

Due to their close friendship, they feel that there is no need for a formal written agreement between them.

The business starts slowly but by year three it is running successfully and employs six people.

Gabby now wants to raise additional capital to set up another store.

Ted thinks it would be better to invest into online sales and streamlining logistics.

As each party owns 50 percent, there is a deadlock as to the direction of the business.

Neither party wants to sell their share in the business.

Gabby seeks legal advice to break the deadlock, and to ensure the business opens new stores. The lack of a business agreement such as a shareholder agreement is proving very problematic.

A well-drafted agreement can ensure deadlocks are avoided through a chair with a casting vote or distribution of voting rights.

Further, an agreement can provide a clear path to dispute resolution that can involve an independent person who is agreed by both parties.

Gabby and Ted eventually go to mediation, an arduous process considering neither want to give-in.

Unfortunately, the friendship between Gabby and Ted deteriorates and Ted eventually sells his share of the business.

Let’s All Drive So Others Survive

By Liz JEREMY, Bellingen Shire Council General Manager DURING this year’s National Road Safety Week, we are all being asked to drive as if our loved ones are travelling on the road ahead, and in our Shire when you think about it, that is quite often the case.

Because every time you hop in your car and head to the shops or drive the family to the beach at Mylestom and go to Dorrigo on the weekend, you always end up seeing someone you know on the

road heading the other way.

And that’s why I encourage you to make the pledge to ‘Drive So Others Survive’ during National Road Safety Week, which is being held this year between the 16 – 23 May, by logging onto the National Road Safety Week website at https:// roadsafetyweek.com.au/.

So far more than 35,000 people have made the pledge to ‘Drive So Others Survive’ and given that more than 70% of fatal crashes on country roads involve country residents, we all need to remain aware of the risks on the road, even those roads that we drive every day.

That also means we need to help those who protect and help us, by slowing down and giving our emergency services and roadside workers the space they need to stay safe as they go about helping us and repairing and maintaining our Shire’s road network.

Ultimately, one life lost is one too many, so please take the time to consider the impacts fatal road accidents can have on you and our community and take advantage of the opportunity to talk with your family and friends about the importance of driving safely on our roads so others can survive.

be locations of static water supplies where town water is not available.

A quick drive around my immediate area in Repton found that a number of the hydrant points were overgrown with grass or covered up and over by silt and debris.

In the event of an emergency this makes the job of the firefighters even more difficult.

Although I understand that Council has the ultimate responsibility to care and maintain these hydrants, clearly this has not been occurring for whatever reason.

What I am proposing is that residents who live in an area with hydrant points adopt a hydrant. By maintaining the hydrant point gives the firefighter a good chance of getting water on a fire in a timely manner.

Mr Len K,

Oh, Mr K, you know sometimes when I seek solutions I turn to philosophy or case law or a thesis written by a student having an existential crisis, and sometimes I need to look no further than Kermit, who made a very valid point when he sang, ‘It’s not easy being green.’

Despite all the information out there on the benefits to ourselves and our planet when we cut down or even cut out meat, vegetarians get a bad rap.

Vegans are for some akin to the antiChrist, such is the level of hatred and taunting they receive for making what is often an ethical decision based on being kind to other creatures who have no say in their destiny.

Still, your daughter’s approach is a bit in-your-face, and that is part of the issue.

Some vegans and vegos happily go about their lives without discussing their choices and others, like the militant vegan, chain themselves to abattoirs and post videos of pigs squealing and chickens being boiled alive, which is a bit unpalatable when you’re sitting down to your Sunday bacon and egg roll.

Dinners must be a rollicking affair at your place, Mr LK. I can imagine your wife bringing her casserole to the table and your daughter warming up her vocal chords before starting a plaintive rendition of Old MacDonald Had a Farm.

It is enough to put anyone off their meal. May I suggest you serve fish? Then you will just have to sit there and watch her silently gulping, which, although distracting, is certainly quieter.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

town water could also have a proactive response of identifying areas where there is an accessible static water supply such as dams, water courses and perhaps swimming pools.

So come on residents do your bit and clean up around hydrants and freshly paint the hydrant cover so it can be recognised easily.

It may just save your valuable home and other assets.

Regards, Mike SUMMERILL, Repton.

Times gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD ONE of the difficulties of being early in selecting land is that the area had not been surveyed and the government was still deciding which land should be reserved, as had been the case with William Carroll.

OPINION & LETTERS

The Practicalities of Permanence He was well established on his selection, however at 40 acres it was a small property and shortly after his settlement the land surrounding him was reserved from sale.

As this prevented him from expanding his holdings he and his family were eventually compelled to move, forfeiting his land.

His brother John also found himself in that position within the village of Brelsford (Coffs Harbour).

John was a labourer and not in a position to purchase land, so squatted in the area.

When the surveyors arrived in 1897, it was discovered he had built his house on

High Street (now Harbour Drive), so he had to move his house back to the corner of High and Gordon Streets.

As he remained a squatter, he secured his land by taking out a miner’s lease which incorporated the site of his house and occasionally looked for gold in his backyard to fulfill the lease conditions, which did not expire until 1953, 27 years after his death.

John and William Carrall were amongst several early cedar-getting teams which had followed Walter Harvey into the area after his arrival around 1866.

Born in Nova Scotia, Harvey went to sea for a couple of years before deserting the

CHMCC’s musical ‘Into the Woods’ hits the stage at last

By David TUNE

COFFS Harbour Musical Comedy Company’s (CHMCC) long q

News Of The Area

awaited production of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s multi award winning Broadway musical ‘Into the Woods’ opened at the Jetty Memorial theatre on Friday 7 May.

Some of the cast in rehearsal for the show. Photo: supplied.

SEEN NOT MISSED

REVIEW Originally planned to be on stage in May last year, the production has seen many changes to personnel over that time, including a new Director and Musical Director, and numerous changes in the cast as well.

It has been worth the wait.

The show weaves together fairytales from the Brothers Grimm, and features familiar characters including Cinderella, Little Red Ridinghood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel.

Under the tutelage of director Tim Gibbs and Music Director Sharyn Messner, both newcomers to CHMCC, this extremely challenging musical has come to life.

Sondheim and Lapine's work is complex and technically demanding, asking a lot from amateur performers, and this cast delivers in style.

The vocal work from the entire cast is spot on, and while some of the songs are almost confusingly intricate there were no false steps in this performance.

With a mix of well-known and polished performers that Coffs Harbour audiences are familiar with and a slew of newcomers and developing talent, the cast presented a Broadway level show.

Particularly enjoyable was the two Prince’s rendition of 'Agony', and the portrayal of the Wolf was a highlight.

Also impressive were the newcomers on stage, none of whom were overwhelmed by their more experienced peers.

Staging was simple and very effective, costumes were excellent, and the large group choreography was crisp and fresh.

The clever use of a small ensemble to cover a myriad of incidental but essential roles was also impressive.

It appeared that the audience became more and more engrossed in the story as the show progressed and they seemed captivated by the intensity of the performances.

The show runs until the end of the month, and tickets are available from the Jetty Theatre website at https://www. jettytheatre.com/into-the-woods/, with Dine and Discovery vouchers redeemable for tickets at the box office.

ship in Australia, in 1863.

He spent time on the Lambing Flat goldfields during the riots before coming to Boat Harbour (Bellingen) and finding work as a teamster.

One year later aged just 20, he purchased the bullocks and worked independently, cutting cedar at Red Hill and hauling it to his camp on the northern side of Coffs Creek, near the showground and opposite Fitzroy oval.

As it was unprofitable to haul logs any further than eight miles, he returned to Bellingen to farm before retiring to Coffs Harbour in 1916.

SANDITON

ABC, 8.20pm

Based on Jane Austen’s final, unfinished novel, Sanditon is a visual feast. With all the dazzling trappings of a period drama – the costumes are beautiful, the lush seaside setting is a treat – and a ridiculously goodlooking cast, screenwriter Andrew Davies has created a wonderfully escapist drama. Just beware the ending.

The story begins with a chance accident bringing young Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams, Reign) to Sanditon, a seaside resort on the brink of change. Charlotte is keen to experience everything the town has to offer, but is stunned by its duplicitous and ambitious inhabitants. Also stars Theo James (Divergent).

Telling the colourful life story of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, this biopic will certainly rock you.

Charting the band’s formation and meteoric rise through the 1970s, the film lovingly recreates iconic concerts and music, all the way from seedy bars to their 1985 Live Aid performance at Wembley Stadium. Previously best known for his work on Mr. Robot, Rami Malek’s redefining role netted the star an Oscar, Golden Globe, Screen Actor’s Guild Award and the BAFTA Award for Best Actor for his transformation into the flamboyant singer, who had to grapple with his ego, sexuality and illness at the height of his fame.

LOVE ON THE SPECTRUM

ABC, 8.30pm

Reality TV with a heart, this series struck a chord when it premiered at the end of 2019. It follows a group of people on the autism spectrum as they search for love and companionship. Hopeful, enlightening and full of depth, you won’t witness raucous dinner parties studded with fights and deception, which would rake in the ratings on other networks.

Refreshingly, season two premieres with a handful of participants from last season continuing their journeys as couples. Michael returns, heart still open and searching, while we also meet some new faces such as Jodi.

Hockey Coffs Coast season continues

By Aiden BURGESS THE latest Hockey Coffs Coast season continued with Round 5 matches decided at the Coffs Harbour Hockey Complex.

Cassie Smith is one of the players who plays in the weekly women’s competition.

Smith plays for two teams from the Orara Valley Hockey Club, and said it had been a truly family affair for her.

“My mum and sister have played for years, and we have quite a few relatives that play for Orara and it’s a very family

orientated club,” she said.

Smith shared with News Of The Area her favourite part of playing hockey.

“I like how social our club is, as I went to Brisbane and played for one year and hated it,” she said.

“You just turned up and then everyone left, but here I like how social it is as we go out for dinner with our teammates and do social activities together.

“The social aspect is the best part of playing, socialising with my hockey girls.

“We’re not playing in the Olympics, I play because it’s fun.”

She said the Orara Valley Hockey Club had seen a growth in numbers in recent years.

“A few years ago we had two teams in all the divisions,” she said.

“Now we have three women’s teams and two men’s teams.”

The Hockey Coffs Coast season continues with Round 6 matches this weekend.

Comets coach Brandon Costin acknowledged the quality of the competition leaders.

“Macksville completely outplayed us, they were too energetic and enthusiastic.

“They have some really

talented players, their go forward in the middle is second to none and they have a great kicking game.

“We will need to work on our ability to absorb pressure and in turn how to apply pressure to opposition sides, we have won one game from four and as a side I

know we are better than what we are producing,” said Brandon.

Comets left winger Billy Griffiths took solace in having more time to build on the side’s structure.

“We are in the process of building our structure, it takes time to create the combinations to win a premiership.

“The comp isn't won in

the first few weeks, all the teams this year are very competitive, each week is going to be a tough game from now until the final game of the season,” said Billy.

Eagles overcome the Raiders in a top of the table clash

By David WIGLEY THE Boambee Eagles overcame the Urunga Raiders 1-0 in a top of the table clash in the women’s first division last Saturday at Urunga.

The three points elevates Boambee into joint top position with Urunga who they lost to in the 2020 women’s grand final.

The Boambee Eagles and the Urunga Raiders have been the gold standard in women’s football on the north coast and the margins between the

powerhouse teams are getting tighter as Eagles coach Neil Witherdin told News Of The Area.

“This game was played at a very fast pace with both teams showing a good level of fitness for this stage of the season.

“Boambee were awarded a penalty around the 10 minute mark but failed to convert.

“The Eagles' Bec Oberleuter scored a well deserved goal in what was a player of the match performance.

“The Eagles continued a

more disciplined performance than their previous meeting with Urunga, with all players working hard for each other,” said Neil.

After four matches Urunga and Boambee are the joint leaders of the women’s first division on nine points each with Urunga ahead on goal difference.

The Eagles’ next match is against Woolgoolga Wildcats on Saturday 15 May at Ayrshire Park whilst Urunga travels to Maclean to face the Bobcats.

explained.

“Was a tough day at the office, we tried probably too hard to make things happen, the effort was there but we just lost our way in attack, so we will be working on that at training.

“We face Bellingen next week, they have been travelling pretty well so we need to fix up to be in with a chance,” said Miles.

By Aiden BURGESS TWO champion clubs are set to collide this weekend as the Coffs City United Lions host the Boambee Bombers during the latest round of the Coastal Premier League.

The Bombers sit at the top of the ladder after four straight wins to start the season, while the Lions are in third after two wins and two draws from their opening four matches.

Both clubs won titles in 2020 with the Lions winning the inaugural Coastal Premier League, while the Bombers won the Coastal Premier League’s Northern Conference grand final.

Saturday night will be their first meeting since the aforementioned grand final which saw the Bombers win 1-0.

The Bombers are facing a busy weekend having

to back up the next day for their FFA Cup match against Camden Haven.

Bombers president Fiona Clancy told News Of The Area her side were

“We play Bellingen this weekend which will definitely put us to the test," said Hannah.

The Ladies have set the bar high as coach Scott Street explained to News Of The Area.

Snappers prevail over Pirates

By Aiden BURGESS A CARTER Hoy try in the dying stages has helped to seal a 20-10 victory for the Coffs Harbour Snappers against the Port Macquarie Pirates at Coffs Rugby Park.

It was the Snappers second win in a row to start their Upper Mid North Coast Rugby Union season.

With the game hanging in the balance and the Snappers leading 13-5 with less than 10 minutes to play, it would be Carter Hoy who rose to the occasion as the young forward barged over from close range carrying Pirates defenders over the line with him to score the match sealer.

The try was the result of intense pressure late from the Snappers, as they constantly attacked their try line and finally broke

through.

The Snappers headed into half-time with a slender 6-0 lead against the Pirates.

The home side came out all guns blazing to start the second half, as a beautiful run out wide saw them score in the opening minute to take the lead to 13-0.

The early try seemed to spark the Pirates into action as they started to get on top early in the second half.

The Pirates pressure paid off as they crossed the line in the 50th minute to cut the margin to 13-5.

The game descended into a stop start contest for the next 20 minutes, before a late surge from the Snappers in crunch time led to Carter Hoy’s pivotal try.

q Coffs Harbour Snappers players celebrate Carter Hoy’s try.

It was his team’s defensive effort which pleased Snappers coach Brendan Hoy the most in their victory against the Pirates.

“Defence and attitude were the most impressive things,” he said.

“We’ve only had our lines crossed three times in two games, so we’re doing really well in that department.”

The coach breathed a sigh of relief as he watched his son score the match sealer.

“I was relieved as that put us two tries ahead, and once you get more than two tries ahead late in the game you can start to relax.

“It was relief more than anything.”

The first-grade win capped off a great day for the Snappers, as all four of their sides beat the Pirates.

The SCU Marlins also had a great Round 3, with all three of their

sides in action winning on Saturday against the Bowraville Goannas and BDC Barracudas.

The Snappers are at home tomorrow afternoon against the 2019 premiers the Hastings Valley Vikings, while the Marlins are away to the Port Macquarie

The Scorpions hit straight back with an equaliser against the run of play.

AS the first half continued the Scorpions started to get on top in the midfield and capitalised taking the lead with a penalty goal in the 22nd minute.

The Scorpions forward pressure starved the

Wildcats of possession camping the visitors in their own half.

But the Scorpions were unable to capitalise on their dominance of possession as they missed numerous chances in front of goal.

The Wildcats had some glimpses of chances towards the end of the half, and should have made it 2-2 after missing an easy chance in front of goal.

The Scorpions would assert their authority in the second half scoring four goals to one.

The Sawtell Panthers teams were at home for the first time this season during a big day of football at Rex Hardaker Oval.

Marathon finals at North Coast Squash Open TWO thrilling five game finals marked the completion of a highly anticipated North Coast Squash Open.

The courts at Korora were a hive of activity for three days but nobody predicted the closeness of the two finals played on Sunday.

The men’s finalists, Bryan Lim and Nicholas Calvert, had already survived tough five game matches in the semi-finals when they knocked out the number one and two seeds respectively.

The opening game of the

men’s final gave a hint of what was to follow with both players working each other to all parts of the court with Lim clinching a tight first game 11/7.

Calvert worked the ball to the back court looking to secure anything loose forcing the second game into a tie break which he managed to win 15/13 levelling the scores at a game each.

Lim struggled to find his placements again in the third allowing Calvert to gain the upper hand.

Lim appeared more

focused in the fourth and fifth games moving Calvert the wrong way to claim the North Coast Open title in 69 minutes with 11/5 and 11/3 wins in the final two games.

“Happy with my first win here at the North Coast Open,” Lim said at the post tournament presentation.

“Tough always against Nic.” Local eyes were on Tamika Hunt in the women’s division.

Having represented Australia in the 2018 Commonwealth Games,

the Coffs Harbour product was continuing her return to professional circles after starting a family.

Hunt survived a fivegame semi-final where she came back from losing the opening game to Alex Hayden.

The number two seed met the top seed Jessica Turnbull in a final that lasted 49 minutes.

Both players were prepared to work the ball with Hunt making a couple of errors at the end of the first.

She came out strongly in the second with both girls evenly matched with Hunt taking the game 11/7 to draw level.

In the third game early errors by the local allowed Turnbull to gain a good lead to go 11/6 and grab a twogames to one lead.

Hunt fought back strongly in the fourth game taking a 7-0 lead to win 11/7 and draw back level at two games each.

In the deciding fifth Turnbull started strong and tightened her length to gain

transition was good and we’re starting to see some combinations form across the park, each week we’re putting in better performances and that’s encouraging for us going forward with some important fixtures coming up in both the CPL and FFA cup, “ said Mitchell.

The Bombers have been able to find the right balance between youth and experience as veteran

strikers Brady Parker and Paul France played key roles in the win over the Saints as coach Adrian Pickup explained.

“Both teams started feeling each other out without any clear cut chances, a bit like chess for the first 15 minutes with both defences repelling any clear cut chances.

“From a Brady Parker corner the Port defence unfortunately gave the ball back to Brady on the Boambee right side, he beat one player and then he unleashed a left foot bolter

into the top right corner.

“Basically a Brady classic, Boambee one nil up and probably slightly deserved for the first 45 minutes.

“Second half saw Port move the ball around better than Boambee without any clear cut chances, a Port move found a way through the Boambee defence to poke the ball in, 1-1 game on.

“Both sides had half chances but both keepers were not really troubled, fresh from the bench, Josh Macintosh’s intensity set up

Luke France brace keeps the Bombers on top

By David WIGLEY THE Boambee Bombers overcame Port Saints 3-2 last Saturday at Ayrshire Park to retain their position at top of the Coastal Premier League ladder.

It was the Bombers’ toughest test of the season as midfield talisman and club captain Mitchell Brewster explained to News Of The Area.

“Today was by far our

toughest assignment against a quality Saints side and across the park everybody stepped up.

“Although we’re disappointed not to have kept a clean sheet our defensive structure was a lot better compared to previous weeks and credit to our back four who did a good job of nullifying their number nine with most of their opportunities on goal coming from set pieces.

“Boambee’s third goal came sooner than later with Luke France again slotting the ball in.

“It was 3-1 with minutes to go and Port pushed forward and thought they made it 3-2 but it was offside, then just on full time, a Port cross found a deflection which wrong footed Boambee keeper Kyle Wood, 3-2 game over,” said Adrian.

Ever Heard Of A Sacrificial Anode?

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

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

Sweep

By David WIGLEY

NORTH Coast Football made it four wins from four against the Adamstown Rosebuds in the National Premier League last Sunday at the Coffs Harbour Sport and Leisure Park.

Halieb Campbell was a constant threat with his pace and trickery attacking down the right for the under 13s who won their match 5-3.

The under 15s had the

biggest win of the day with a 4-0 victory over their Newcastle based rivals, which delighted coach Nathan Silvy who believes there’s still room for improvement.

“It was a great day for NCF against Adamstown in the NPL on Sunday with all four teams recording a win.

“The 15s had a convincing 4-0 win but I was left frustrated with how many scoring chances

NPL clean sweep for North Coast Football as all four sides record wins q
